CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 303: LI YUANBA BREAKS THROUGH_1

Four powerful armies, like unstoppable torrents, charged onto the battlefield, seizing territories and carving out a vast dominion with the swords in their hands.

On the third day, the White Tiger Army annihilated an entire legion—one a dynasty had poured its national strength into building—on the banks of a stream. They killed a million enemies, the hot, fresh blood dyeing the stream a deep red.

On the seventh day, Bai Qi led the Vermilion Bird Army in a massacre of seven hundred thousand enemy soldiers. Their despairing screams echoed to the heavens.

On the tenth day, Guan Yu cleaved through the city wall of the royal court with a single stroke of his blade, decapitating the Divine Emperor himself.

Almost every day witnessed the destruction of one power or another.

Initially, the major powers would plead for assistance from the Canghai Ancient Court, but their requests went unanswered. This made them realize that even the Canghai Ancient Court was incapable of lending aid.

Thus, in the latter stages, all the powers of the Sea Alliance abandoned resistance and directly surrendered.

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Fury Wind Domain. Your check-in reward is the ’Immortal Slaying Ballista’!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Fire Spirit Domain. Your check-in reward is the ’Fire Spirit Pearl’!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying an unnamed common domain. Your check-in reward is a set of Profound Level Armor!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying the Heavenly Yellow Domain. Your check-in reward is the ’Water Spirit Bead’!"

"DING! Congratulations, Host, for occupying an unnamed ordinary domain. Your check-in reward is ten thousand sets of Yellow Level Armor..."

For the past few days, Qin Wudao had remained in the Imperial Study, listening to the system notifications. His face was wreathed in smiles, and he had lost all interest in even attending court.

Ten days later, all powers of the Sea Alliance had been eliminated. Only then did the four armies of the Qin Divine Court form an encirclement around the Canghai Ancient Court.

The Azure Dragon Army and White Tiger Army were arrayed to the east!

The Vermilion Bird Army and Black Tortoise Army were arrayed to the west!

The Fan Qiu Army and Chang Ban Army were arrayed to the north!

The Blood Fight Army and Ding Yang Army were arrayed to the south!

Powerful enemies lurked in every direction, leaving the inhabitants of the Canghai Ancient Court panicked and repeatedly begging for assistance from the sacred land.

Compared to the terror of the Divine Emperor of the Canghai, Qin Wudao was much happier. He arranged all the treasures obtained from the system in his Imperial Study and carefully observed them.

There were twenty-three treasures in total. However, only twelve were useful: five spirit beads, two weapon blueprints, three Divine Weapon treasures, and two pills!

Qin Wudao stroked his chin as he checked the information on the treasures.

The five spirit beads were the Gold Spirit Bead, Wood Spirit Bead, Water Spirit Bead, Fire Spirit Bead, and Earth Spirit Bead. Each spirit bead represented one of the five elemental Origin Powers, which could be integrated into the national Fortune to reduce natural and man-made disasters. They could also be used to build the Five Elemental Pagodas to aid Martial Artists in their cultivation.

The two weapon blueprints were for the ’Immortal Slaying Ballista’ and the ’South Heaven Gate’.

The Immortal Slaying Ballista, a rumored weapon from the heavenly court of Ancient Times, possessed immense power capable of slaying Immortals. It required an Artifact Refiner from the Immortal Realm for forging.

The South Heaven Gate, a rumored gate of the heavenly court from Ancient Times, allowed one to distinguish between good and evil, revealing one’s true nature upon passage.

The three Divine Weapon treasures were the Heavenly Level Battle Sword ’Mysterious Snow Sword’, the Heavenly Level Battle Blade ’Wood Dominance Heavy Blade’, and the Immortal Level Weapon ’Immortal-binding Rope’.

Worth mentioning was the ’Immortal-binding Rope’, forged from dragon tendons. By muttering an incantation, it could bind any Martial Artist up to two levels higher than oneself, making it a very practical weapon.

The final two pills were ’Emperor-breaking Pills’, which could help Martial Artists advance to the Semi-Emperor level.

Such a shame there are no characters... Qin Wudao sighed. It seemed people were never satisfied; they were never content.

ROOOAR!

Suddenly, an excited dragon’s roar echoed throughout the Heavenly Universe. Following this, the sky above the Imperial Capital was filled with a myriad of colors.

Qin Wudao was slightly startled. He stored the treasures from the table into his personal space inventory, walked over to the window to gaze out, and saw thick streams of Fortune flowing from the western sky.

In the Sea of Fortune, the Fortune Golden Dragon roared towards the sky, swallowing most of the Fortune. Its body grew by a thousand zhang, dazzlingly golden and faintly wreathed in a light azure aura.

Azure aura, like clouds—the Fortune of an Ancient Court!

"Azure Fortune? Could it mean that the Qin Divine Court has already advanced to an Ancient Court? But we didn’t hold a national advancement ceremony!" many ministers who understood Fortune exclaimed with puzzled expressions.

"It could be that the strength of the Qin Divine Court has reached the level of an Ancient Court, and thus the Fortune has changed accordingly!" Zhuge Liang speculated upon seeing the ministers’ doubts.

The current Qin Divine Court, whether in terms of power or territory, greatly surpassed that of an Ancient Court. The only thing perhaps lacking was the overall cultivation level of its citizens.

"So that’s how it is!" The ministers had an epiphany and bowed towards the Imperial Study as a sign of respect.

Many among them were already eagerly anticipating the nation’s advancement to an Ancient Court, looking forward to becoming officials of an Ancient Court.

ROOOAR!

The Fortune Golden Dragon roared again, riding the azure light as it broke out of the Sea of Fortune. It soared through the skies above the territory of the Qin Divine Court, bestowing blessings of Fortune Creation.

From the farthest reaches of the Eastern Sea and the desert dunes to beyond Ghost Immortal Ridge, all territories of the Qin Divine Court and all its people could see the Fortune Golden Dragon and enjoy the benefits brought by the Fortune Creation.

In addition to the main world, all subsidiary mustard-seed worlds also received this Fortune Creation.

「Fragments of the Immortal Realm!」

In a secret chamber filled with gathering storm clouds and rumbling thunder, the Fortune Creation descended. A massive amount of Spiritual Energy swarmed in, forming a tremendous vortex.

Streaks of thunderous Rhymes in Dao spread out for hundreds of miles, permeating the air with an aura of destruction.

Fortune Creation, serve me now!

Li Yuanba sat cross-legged in the chamber. After refining the ’Origin of Thunder’, his cultivation had reached the limit of a Semi-Emperor. He had been seeking an opportunity to break through to the Emperor Realm ever since.

But was breaking through to the Emperor Realm ever easy? Under normal circumstances, he would need to enter seclusion for hundreds, even thousands of years, before having a chance at a breakthrough.

However, the descent of this Fortune Creation provided him with the spark of inspiration he needed. His comprehension of the Law of Thunder ascended to a new level, allowing him to grasp the Power of Laws at the Emperor Realm.

BOOM!

An intense surge of energy erupted from the secret chamber.

Just as when Huo Qubing had broken through, all the Spiritual Energy in this Fragment of the Immortal Realm was completely devoured by Li Yuanba.

Spiritual Trees swayed, and peach blossoms bloomed profusely. Wisps of pure Spiritual Energy emerged from the trunks and branches of the Spiritual Trees and Spiritual Peach Trees, supporting Li Yuanba’s breakthrough.

This spectacle endured for approximately two days.

"Break!" Li Yuanba bellowed, his eyes snapping open. Two beams of purple light shot out. Within his clear black and white eyes, a golden-winged roc could be seen riding the thunder, flying at an astonishing speed.

A pillar of purple light soared into the nine heavens, radiating an aura of terror and nobility.

Emperor Realm—Broken!

Is this the power of the Great Emperor Realm? Li Yuanba exhaled a turbid breath. He slowly clenched his fists, feeling the terrifying power within his body, and a hint of a smile touched his lips.

He slowly stood up. His previously gaunt frame had become incomparably robust, his muscles bulging with unstoppable strength, exuding a heavy, oppressive威压.

With a wave of his hands, the Rumbling Drum Gold Hammer appeared, crackling with countless arcs of electricity.

Once I survive the celestial tribulation, I’ll go find His Majesty... Li Yuanba muttered to himself. With a tap of his foot, he transformed into a streak of purple lightning and vanished completely.
