Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Emperor Ying took a deep breath and suppressed his tumbling thoughts. He took a step forward and the phantom of a golden dragon roared above his head, its shout echoing through the world. “To all those within my Qin Empire, follow me to battle! Fight!”

Since there was no path of retreat, he might as well seize the initiative and launch an attack. For the Qin Empire to suppress all sides and become one of the seven great empires, they naturally had their strengths.

Bang –

Bang –

The sound of the shooting ballistas filled the air. 36 God Slaying Ballistas howled out, shattering space as they tore a straight black line through the void.

The reason the God Slaying Ballistas were so terrifying was that they could easily tear through the strength of the rules and travelled at an inconceivably fast pace. They could even pose a threat to Calamity Immortals.

Even at a far-off distance, it could arrive in less than the blink of an eye…36 arrows roared!

“Leave it to me.” Solitary Westgate lifted a hand and the roar of a beast resounded through the heavens and earth. The Thunder Kirin leapt forth. The skies started to darken as countless black clouds gathered and endless bolts of lightning leapt through them.

The Thunder Kirin roared out loud and lightning flashed in the dark clouds. 36 bolts of thunder crashed down, forming 36 columns that protected the two people inside.

In the next moment, the god slaying arrows arrived. They crashed into the 36 columns of thunder and terrifying fluctuations instantly erupted. Visible shockwaves spread out, crashing into Xianyang’s protective array like endless waves.

The barrier of light protecting the city instantly distorted. Countless runes shimmered into existence, rapidly covering the barrier.

Outside the capital city, the small towns that were nearby, the villages, fields, mountains, rivers, lakes…everything seemed to be wiped away by an invisible hand, turning the land into a blank slate.

There were many innocent Qin Empire people here. From beginning to end, they never saw Qin Yu or Solitary Westgate before being buried by their hands.

But, Qin Yu and Solitary Westgate didn’t feel any guilt at all. Because the one who gave up on these people and brought them total annihilation today was the emperor they had pledged their loyalty to.

This was the price that the people of the Qin Empire needed to withstand…and, this wasn’t the end!

Solitary Westgate narrowed his eyes. Looking in the direction of Xianyang, the Thunder Kirin rapidly shrank before submerging into his arm.

He raised a fist and the black clouds in the heavens wildly tumbled about. When he punched out, a purple bolt of thunder sizzled out from the clouds, falling onto the golden dragon.

Bang –

Xianyang shook as if a meteor had crashed down into it. Terrifying amounts of strength diffused outwards, forming horrifying shockwaves.

The golden dragon phantom angrily roared as lightning fell down on its body like a giant waterfall. The lightning was quickly counterbalanced and destroyed.

But whether it was the capital’s great protective array or the golden dragon phantom that counterbalanced the lightning attack, they both expended a tremendous amount of strength. And for a supreme being of the world, wherever they stood could be called the center of the world. They could mobilize the power of the world as they pleased and erupt with an almost endless amount of energy.

So, Solitary Westgate’s gaze didn’t change. After punching once, he drew back his fist and punched again.

More importantly, the strength he erupted with now wasn’t just his own, but also the terrifying might of the Thunder Kirin God Beast.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have been able to easily threaten Xianyang’s great protective array and also weaken the strength of the national destiny golden dragon.

“Fight!”

Atop the city walls, the innumerable Qin Empire warriors shouted. The killing intent that had been tempered through countless battles broke free from their bodies and gathered in the skies above.

An incomparably massive face appeared in the heavens. It had a complete head, neck, body, arms, and legs.

This was a grand and towering Qin Empire warrior. It raised its hands and a sword rapidly condensed in its grasp.

“Die!”

Bang –

The sword cut down.

Like a mountain falling into a sea, mighty waves rose up and the entire world fell into chaos. The terrifying aura caused everyone’s hearts to shiver with despair.

This was a strike that was formed from the killing intent of a million Qin Empire warriors. In terms of simple power, it surpassed the level of a Calamity Immortal.

The sword blade destroyed all things before it!

Solitary Westgate had a dignified expression. His falling punch intensified and the power of thunder erupted. The head of the Kirin emerged on the surface of his fist, its mouth open in an angry growl.

The sword collided with the fist and a heaven-shaking explosion occurred. Terrifying shockwaves spread out, twisting the skies and stirring up the winds and clouds, turning it into a raging sea of darkness.

In a collision of pure strength, even though Solitary Westgate was at a disadvantage, it was still within his scope of tolerance. But when a million warriors of the Qin Empire joined together to attack, the most terrifying aspect of their strike lay in the inherent will of annihilation contained within.

This was condensed from the killing intent of a million Qin Empire warriors. The impact of will it created was alarming, wildly tearing at Solitary Westgate’s mind.

Even though supreme beings of the world all had formidable souls, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses under such an impact.

Like a rock being struck by crashing waves, although it was indestructible, it still had its limits. Once the power of the waves reached a certain degree, it could still damage the rock.

Solitary Westgate humphed and his complexion rapidly paled. Dark blood dripped out from his nose and mouth. However, just as this blood appeared it was evaporated by a powerful strength, causing it to disappear into nothingness.

As a supreme being of the world, he possessed a dignity that would not allow himself to be in such a distressed state. A cruel look flashed in his gloomy eyes. It was as cold as the winter wind, piercing straight into the soul.

“They are worthy of being the Qin Empire Cavalry, one of the strongest military forces in the world. The combined strike of a million soldiers is actually able to injure me. But by relying on this alone it is impossible to make me lower my head.” Solitary Westgate took a deep breath. Then, he raised his hands as if he were sticking them into something. His ten fingers curved and grabbed, maliciously pulling down. “Endless Prison of Thunder, arrive!”

Bang –

The skies seemed to sink. Within the roiling black clouds, dazzling lightning flashed like a thousand suns, making it impossible to look straight at it. Innumerable strands of thunder wove around each other like a net, thick and dense, circle after circle, forming a horrifying world of thunder.

It was so vast in size that it covered all of Xianyang Capital as it came slowly falling down from the heavens. Even with the great protective array still in full revolution, the entire capital city fell into panic and disarray. Anyone with slightly weaker cultivations or minds had already lost all color from their faces.

Slowly but steadily, in several breaths of time, the prison of thunder covered Xianyang City. The twining snakes of thunder were like vicious beasts that had been awakened from their slumber, angrily attacking the city’s protective barrier.

Rumble rumble –

Heaven-shaking explosions filled the air as if the world was collapsing all around them. One could feel the horrifying fluctuations emanating from here throughout the entire Land of Divinity and Demons.

Underneath this insane bombardment of attacks, great hollows began to appear in Xianyang City’s stable array formation. Layer after layer of ripples spread out and the tremors caused cracks to appear one after another.

If it weren’t for the entire array formation being formed by countless layers stacked up over each other, it would have already blown apart!

Bang –

Bang –

Bang –

Within the rumbling of crashing thunder, loud bangs suddenly erupted. 36 explosions sounded out at the same time, even momentarily suppressing the sounds of bombarding thunder. Long channels of torn space cut through the void, firing at Solitary Westgate who was controlling the power of thunder in the skies.

For an empire to stand proud in the world, even if they had to bow their heads to the Immortal Sect and Demonic Path, they still deserved a certain respect.

If they didn’t have the strength to preserve themselves, how could they accomplish this?

Although supreme beings of the world were strong, if they wanted to suppress an empire with their strength alone, this was simply impossible.

Even if this person was known as the man who had once fought with the heavens and survived, the incomparably deep Dao Arena Master.

Right now, only one choice was available to Solitary Westgate – to disperse the Prison of Thunder and block the god slaying arrows…but today, it wasn’t just Solitary Westgate who was fighting the Qin Empire.

Qin Yu lifted a hand and punched out. The world rumbled and the towering phantom of an Ancient appeared, punching together with him.

Terrifying strength swept out like a tsunami, covering every inch of space present. When the 36 god slaying arrow passed through, it was like they had fallen into a swamp.

After tearing forward a little, they began to slow down and stagnate. The runes that flowed across their surface rapidly lit up and imploded.

Qin Yu trembled as he resisted 36 god slaying arrows with his punch. But, he never took a step backwards. Instead, he moved forward.

The Ancient race. When they were born they supported the world, and even after death they would not fall!

Moving forward, knowing no fear…to face strength with even greater strength.

He lifted a hand and formed a fist. The phantom of the Ancient above him reared back its head and roared. Before he had punched out, the world already started to shake.

In the skies above the imperial palace, Emperor Ying’s pupils shrank. Once again, a trace of regret appeared for the initial decision he made.

Still, this regret only lasted a brief moment before it was erased. Then he lifted a hand and thrust forward. The golden dragon phantom above his head roared out loud.

As the emperor of the Qin Empire, when he was in the imperial palace he could summon and mobilize the national destiny of the entire empire. With its support, his own strength rose drastically.

A dark golden seal appeared in the skies. The characters at the bottom read: With a mandate from heaven, may you thrive and prosper forever!

These characters had the momentum of swallowing the sun. When they gathered together, they represented an unsurpassed power that could suppress the world.

The dark golden seal appeared outside Xianyang’s great array formation and collided with Qin Yu’s fist. The entire world fell into a deathly silence. Then, what followed was endless rumbling thunder.
