Chapter 1165: Chapter 1159: Master and Disciple Duel
The Supreme Imperial Dynasty.
The frontier.
More than thirty celestial cities hung suspended in the air, banners fluttering, embroidered with the two characters ’Xiongnu’, surrounded by immortal aura, transforming into giant wolves that howled towards the sky.
In the myriad realms, celestial cities are rare treasures. For the Supreme Imperial Dynasty to mobilize thirty celestial cities speaks to their substantial resources.
Yet, opposing them stood over a hundred celestial cities, the Qin Flag billowing, a bloodthirsty aura soaring to the heavens.
"Xiongnu!"
Atop the main city, Huo Qubing clad in armor, gripping his war lance, gazed at the banner embroidered with ’Xiongnu’, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.
Mountains and rivers from foreign lands.
Though the names remain the same.
They are no longer the foes of the past.
Even so, his heart surged with a boundless battle intent, erupting with endless killing intent, causing Han Xin and the Patriarch standing beside him to feel a slight oppression.
"Attack!"
After a moment of gazing, a flicker of killing intent flashed in Huo Qubing’s eyes as he coldly commanded.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Sixth and Seventh Legions roared, charging out of the celestial cities in neat order, wielding cold weapons, unleashing a sky-reaching bloodthirsty aura that obscured the sun.
The sound of slaughter roared like thunder.
Shattering vast stretches of the void, causing the temperature of Eastern Divine Continent to plummet drastically.
"Prime Minister, prepare for battle!"
In the most central city of the Supreme Imperial Dynasty, the emperor gazed indifferently at the oncoming enemy army and spoke coldly.
"By your command!"
Prime Minister Lan Tuo cupped his hands in salute, then, with a heavy heart, stood on the command platform, vigorously waving the command flag, and shouted harshly, "Soldiers, honor and blood coexist. Let the corpses of the enemy be forever buried beyond the grasslands. Kill!"
Can they win?
The upper echelons of the Supreme Imperial Dynasty had already discussed this question.
There was not a trace of chance for victory.
But they also understood that even if they voluntarily surrendered, the human race would not spare them.
Fight!
Or not fight!
Both paths lead to death.
Since this is so, why bother to surrender?
When they embarked on the path of cultivation, they were already prepared for their demise. To die in battle is an honor for any martial artist.
"Kill kill kill!"
Millions of Supreme Imperial soldiers roared, like fierce tigers descending the mountain, pouncing towards the enemy.
They were all die-hard loyalists of the emperor, infused with the bloodline of the wolf tribe, true Xiongnu people.
All their lives, they lived for the supreme emperor, having long dedicated their lives to the supreme king. Facing a formidable foe, or even suicide, they wouldn’t so much as blink.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the armies clashed, shattering vast stretches of the void.
Immediately, large numbers of Supreme Imperial soldiers died tragically, their fragments falling to the ground, staining millions of miles of sky.
In the face of absolute power, fearless morale and determination are merely jokes.
Boom boom boom...
The sounds of slaughter echoed across the skies, as Qin soldiers, unstoppable as if they were in a land without anyone, broke through the formation of the Supreme Imperial soldiers, shattering and slaughtering all.
Blood-colored war soldiers swept across, the unstoppable aura flowing over the Qin army.
Invincible!
Unstoppable!
"The battle has begun!"
"The human race will surely win, the human race will prosper forever!"
In the distance, a swath of fortresses stood, all of which the human race had built with vast resources to resist the invasion of the Supreme Imperial Dynasty.
At this moment, one by one, human soldiers came out of the fortresses, their eyes infused with immortal aura gazing into the distant battle, especially cheering loudly when seeing large numbers of Supreme Imperial soldiers fall.
"These bastards, they must be regretting it now!"
"Why couldn’t they just be decent people, instead of becoming kin to wolves and founding that ridiculous Xiongnu tribe, only to still be defeated by the human race?"
On a certain mound, a few elderly soldiers with weary faces spat on the ground, laughing and cursing.
As members of the human race.
They felt immense pride.
In the celestial city, the Supreme Emperor watched the battle for a while, then transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the sky.
On the other side, in the celestial city of the Qin Dynasty, the Patriarch’s body also vanished, and when he reappeared, he arrived beneath the Purple Hell.
The wind was strong in the heavens.
The view was expansive.
Thus, the mentor and disciple pair who knew each other well, quietly faced each other across ten thousand feet of void.
"Master, you have won!"
Silence would eventually be broken as the Supreme Emperor’s lips moved slightly, speaking first.
He had lost!
He was utterly defeated.
Despite achieving the status of a Quasi-Saint, becoming one of the most outstanding humans since the Sky-Breaking Era, ultimately he still fell to the outcome of a shattered nation and family.
"Won?"
"I am also a loser!"
The Patriarch’s head of white hair fluttered, he plucked a strand, shaking his head, saying, "When we first met, my hair was black, now it has all turned white!"
The Supreme Emperor’s heart trembled, recalling past events.
People are not plants, who can be heartless?
Without the Patriarch, he would have long become a wandering ghost!
The Patriarch continued, "You are outstanding, but as it turns out, there are those more outstanding than you!"
The Supreme Emperor’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to speak, but in the end, no words came out.
Why had he broken with the human race?
All because of the ’Ziwei Empyrean Star’!
As the most outstanding genius of the human race, he considered himself extraordinary, believing he was the ’Ziwei Empyrean Star’, capable of becoming the human race’s leader and treading the supreme imperial path in the future.
But later, he learned from the Patriarch that he was not the ’Ziwei Empyrean Star’ of the human race!
He was naturally dissatisfied with this result.
Eventually, he fell out with the Patriarch.
Eventually, he left the human race, founded the Supreme Imperial Dynasty, and specifically sought trouble for the humans.
Until now, witnessing Qin Wudao’s rise, he finally realized the vast gap between himself and the ’Ziwei Empyrean Star.’
"Actually, I had always intended to groom you as my heir, but..."
At this, the Patriarch shook his head.
Upon hearing these words, the Supreme Emperor completely lost his composure, shouting angrily, "Then why didn’t you say it earlier!"
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body, his eyes crimson as if staring into an endless hell.
"Obstinate and ignorant!"
Faced with the Supreme Emperor’s question, the Patriarch didn’t explain, as there was no need.
With a thought.
The ’Sword of Benevolence’ pierced the void, exuding supreme pressure, enveloping the human race’s Origin Power, and pressed towards the Supreme Emperor.
"Fight!"
The Supreme Emperor roared, the imperial sword in his hand dazzling with golden light, slashing out a giant wolf Sword Qi, racing through the firmament, shattering vast stretches of void.
Clang～
As a piercing sound rang out.
The two Sword Qis collided, unleashing a terrifying force of sharpness, causing the heavens to collapse and the sky to crack.
The myriad paths of the heavens, countless laws, all began to disintegrate.
The entire Eastern Divine Continent shook violently.
"Puh～"
After holding on for a moment.
The Supreme Emperor’s face turned pale, spewing a mouthful of blood, the imperial sword in his hand riddled with cracks, finally shattering into countless pieces.
One move!
He lost!
"Impossible!"
"How can you be so strong?"
The Supreme Emperor staggered, first glancing at the broken sword in his hand, then at the calm and composed Patriarch in the distance, his eyes full of disbelief.
