The Peerless Emperor

These people from the Southern Domain forces were madly fleeing toward their own territories, desperate to relay the message back home.

"Madness, truly madness!"

The Renhuang Martial Emperor of the Huaxia Empire had indeed gone mad, actually intending to wage war against the entire Southern Domain.

The legendary figure, the Sword Formation Emperor Zhang Juncheng, along with a hundred thousand high-level Soul Martial warriors, had thoroughly shaken their souls.

Even without the support of the Double Pole Palace, the Carefree Sect, and the three elders of the Blood Spirit Valley, the mere presence of a Sword Formation Emperor was enough to deter the entire Southern Domain.

Lin Qian dared to declare war on the entire Southern Domain, his confidence stemming from the Sword Formation Emperor Zhang Juncheng.

Now, with the help of potions from the Huaxia Empire, Zhang Juncheng had successfully regained his Overlord Level Awakening Realm combat power.

Moreover, Zhang Juncheng's true Realm was far beyond that, with the power he could exhibit far surpassing what a normal Overlord Level Awakening Realm might entail.

With such a high-end combat force as the Sword Formation Emperor Zhang Juncheng in place, Lin Qian remained fearless, plus the uniformly formidable combat strength of the Huaxia Empire—why not war against the entire Southern Domain?

Upon leaving the Huaxia Empire, individuals from other Southern Domain powers hurriedly sought out cities to land in, using Communication Arrays to send the message back first.

Not only them, but the Huaxia Empire also used Communication Arrays to send out the cause and effect of the events.

In an instant, the whole Southern Domain had come to know of developments, with observers from various Southern Domain powers facing off against the Emperor Lin Qian of the Huaxia Empire in debate.

On one side, they said Lin Qian had the guts to wage war against the entire Southern Domain.

And Lin Qian, unexpectedly, accepted the challenge.

After hearing the news, the Sect Master of the True Essence Sect revealed a look of astonishment, "Has Lin Qian gone mad, daring to wage war against the entire Southern Domain?"

In fact, the Huaxia Empire was not at war with all the forces of the Southern Domain. For instance, the Double Pole Palace, the Carefree Sect, and the Blood Spirit Valley were not targets of the Huaxia Empire's aggression.

At this very moment, countless citizens of the Huaxia Empire could often see huge warships soaring through the high skies of their Territory toward distant places.

The thunderous roar of the slowly passing Sky Soaring Battleships and Impact Battleships was simply too colossal, making it difficult for anyone not to take notice.

Metallic war beasts shimmering in sunlight flew menacingly in all directions, piercing clouds, making it clear to the other Southern Domain powers the consequences of angering the Huaxia Empire.

In the Territory bordered by the True Essence Sect with the Huaxia Empire, the moment the Sky Soaring Battleship entered the True Essence Sect's Territory, half of the Imperial Army on board had already streamed out in succession.

The twelve advanced troop types, just like during the national war in the Ancient Spirit State, divided into squads and flew off in all directions.

During the year that Lin Qian was away in the Ancient Spirit State, a complete tactical map of the Southern Domain had been finished. The strengths of every location were now clearly laid out.

The Reconnaissance Beasts spread throughout the Southern Domain were the most basic scouts, relaying back even the smallest movements to the Huaxia Empire.

Not only that, but a massive number of Silver Moon Giant Wolves burst forth from the Territories of the Huaxia Empire, charging into the Territories of the surrounding forces like a silver torrent.

In the high skies, the iron-clad Swift Eagle War Beasts fixed their deep, piercing gaze downward.

The moment they dove, they would become swift flesh-cutting instruments, slicing the enemy into several pieces.

If someone were to look into the rivers and lakes, they would be horrified to see fully armed Mighty Sharks following the water networks of the Huaxia Empire, spreading outwards.

"If the enemy wishes to fight in the water, facing them would be no different from confronting a nightmare directly."

In a small town within the True Essence Sect's territory, there were not just ordinary people, but also some aged Soul Martial Artists. Their auras weren't particularly overwhelming, merely at the Nirvana Realm.

Compared to them, there were even more people from the Shape Origin Realm, numbering well into the thousands, although their levels of cultivation varied greatly.

No longer young, they were all disciples of the True Essence Sect, but of low status, merely servants of the sect.

Even so, they were the undisputed overlords of this small town.

"Hey, when do you think we can go raid the Huaxia Empire again?"

"Let's wait until the Boundary Country of Yuhe makes a move. Only after a Great Country acts can we sneak in afterwards to glean what they've left behind."

"Speaking of which, the commoners over at the Huaxia Empire really are rich. Compared to our lot here, they're dripping with wealth."

"Also, those girls from Qingshui State are truly like water lotuses. Last time I had my way with one, she was very..."

Pfft!

Before the man could finish speaking, a Soul Power arrow had already been shot in from outside, piercing directly through his mouth.

"Enemy attack—rush out!" Noticing the scene before them, the group, who were leisurely chatting, suddenly had a dramatic change in expression and immediately rushed outside.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the house, they froze.

Outside their courtyard were already more than a thousand people, whose auras were not something they could compete with at all.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Screams erupted instantaneously. Although there were tens of thousands of Soul Martial Artists in the small town, the strongest among them was only at the Nirvana Realm, and they were no match for the squads consisting of individuals from the Life and Death Realm.

They died extremely quickly, many of them cut down before they even had a chance to resist.

This was a military order from Lin Qian. Even for a small town like this, he had the Imperial Army of the Life and Death Realm take action, eliminating the opposition with the utmost speed and minimum losses.

After all, taking over a Southern Domain left in ruins held no significance.

If meeting this requirement meant greater losses on the side of the Imperial Army, they were not to hold back and should strive to completely annihilate the enemy.

As for those village settlements in the mountains, assigning the task to Silver Moon Giant Wolves was the best choice. These jungle assassins often managed to eliminate the enemy completely without them even realizing.

On the edges of the True Essence Sect's territory, the Life and Death Realm disciples guarding the city were cluelessly watching the metallic discs the enemy tossed over cause their Arrays to gradually break down.

It was only when the cries of the enemy's charge resounded that they snapped back to reality.

But it was already too late. They realized that the soldiers from the Huaxia Empire were stronger than they were. How could they possibly win?

"Weren't there rumors that the Huaxia Empire greatly weakened after relying on those 'Soul Cannons' in their battle with Emperor Qin's Dynasty?" Even as his head flew off, the True Essence Sect disciple still held onto his confusion, staring distantly at the sky-obscuring metal behemoth, failing to comprehend.

At this moment, the Huaxia Empire had already commenced simultaneous warfare against all neighboring powers.
