Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The battlefield lay outside the North City.

Approaching the North City, Jun Wuxie saw densely packed corpses covered with blood-stained bones, row upon row.

The air was thick with sorrow and tragedy, and the sound of weeping could be heard.

Upon the city walls, the battle raged fiercely, with archers and infantry fighting desperately.

Outside the city, the densely packed Wu'an army relentlessly charged towards the city, scaling the walls.

They could not fly because of the ancient gravity array near the city; forced flight would quickly drain their energy, making them easy targets on the battlefield.

Below the city, Wu'an army rune crossbows and archers coordinated their siege, a dense rain of arrows blanketing the city walls.

The Rune Armored soldiers had strong defenses, and ordinary rune arrows couldn't penetrate them, and even crossbow bolts struggled, but they would still deplete the armor's defensive power.

Months ago, the border city's garrison would still venture out to meet the Wu'an army in open battle.

But later, an army stronger than the border army's elite appeared within the Wu'an forces, and the border army's commander changed tactics, choosing to defend the city to the death, keeping the gates tightly shut, and no matter how the Wu'an army provoked them, they would not leave the city.

"Prince Ning, long time no see, you've finally shown yourself."

Far outside the city, at the rear of the army, there was a war chariot with a middle-aged man with a full beard sitting upright.

This man was none other than Bahru, the commander of the Wu'an army attacking the Great Gan border city.

His voice was loud, shaking the surroundings, echoing across the battlefield, drowning out the sounds of thousands of soldiers charging.

"Prince Ning, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Your Great Gan cannot stop my Wu'an. This mere border city, even if defended fiercely, cannot stop my Wu'an's army of tigers and wolves!" Bahru laughed wildly, "You actually sent someone to assassinate this commander, trying to carry out a decapitation strike. Don't you know that in this battle, we are the ones who initiate assassinations?"

"What a pity, Prince Ning, you are surrounded by useless people. I advise you to open the city and surrender, and this commander might agree not to massacre the city, otherwise, when the city falls, corpses will fill the city, and no one will be left alive!"

Bahru leaned back in the chariot seat, his slightly dark eyelids giving off a sense of dark brutality.

"Your tone is not small, wanting to massacre the city."

Jun Wuxie spoke indifferently, released Anning's hand, and stepped out of the city wall.

Even with the terrifying gravity array, it still couldn't affect him.

"What is he doing, is he courting death?"

A border army general prepared to pull him back, but was stopped by Prince Ning.

"Let's see what he wants to do."

Prince Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

Everything that Yue Wuxie had done was beyond his expectations.

This person was even more unruly than he had imagined, completely out of control.

Before, when his daughter said she wanted to subdue Yue Wuxie, he knew it would be very difficult.

As a result, his daughter not only failed to subdue that kid, but was instead bewitched by him!

He knew very well how proud his daughter was, and how arrogant her heart was.

It was hard to imagine how she could be bewitched by Yue Wuxie in such a short period of time.

"Hahaha! Prince Ning, are you trying to amuse this commander?" On the war chariot at the rear of the Wu'an army, Bahru laughed wildly, "Is Great Gan out of people? Actually sending a young boy out of the city to die! A small ant, the army can crush him ten thousand times over."

"Bahru, if you don't flee in disgrace today, you will know the taste of being an ant."

Jun Wuxie's voice was like a dragon's roar, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.

Red and crystalline blood energy began to overflow from his body, and his speed increased, instantly arriving at the center of the battlefield.

The countless Wu'an soldiers below continued to charge towards the city, completely ignoring him in the air.

"Bastard, what realm are you in, Saint King? Such a weak ant dares to speak wildly in front of this seat!"

Bahru's eyes turned cold, and he gave an order to the generals around him, "Kill him!"

The generals received the order and immediately conveyed it to the soldiers.

Some of the Wu'an soldiers charging towards the city suddenly thrust their spears towards the sky.

Runes lit up on the spears, and as the spears were thrust out, streaks of blazing and sharp spear light pierced through the sky, filled with killing intent.

"Today, all of you will stay here."

Jun Wuxie made a sword gesture with his fingers, and the finger light swept across like sword energy, shattering all the incoming spear lights.

At the same time, the restrictions within his body were instantly released, and the aura on his body soared.

Rumble!

In an instant, the sky and earth darkened, and thick tribulation clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, layer upon layer, as if they were about to fall to the ground, making people feel incomparably oppressed and suffocated.

The rolling heavenly might was vast, covering the mountains and rivers.

The sky-filled tribulation clouds covered a radius of several miles, completely covering the entire battlefield.

If Bahru hadn't retreated quickly, he would have almost been enveloped.

"You actually want to use tribulation transcendence to deal with my army! How ridiculous, you will soon be killed in the heavenly tribulation!" Bahru sneered repeatedly, "Soldiers, don't panic, quickly kill that person, and the heavenly tribulation will naturally dissipate!"

"Kill!"

The Wu'an army quickly gathered towards the center, all waving their spears and thrusting them towards Jun Wuxie in the sky.

"Enjoy the lightning feast."

Jun Wuxie stepped into the air and entered the layers of thunderclouds.

Crack!

The blazing lightning made the sky and earth instantly bright.

It was like countless silver dragons shuttling through the clouds.

The Wu'an army's spears thrust out, and the moment the spear light entered the tribulation clouds, it was shattered by the lightning.

Almost at the same time, countless thunderbolts, like silver dragons, pierced down from the sky, forming a magnificent and terrifying scene.

Countless grounds exploded under the lightning, accompanied by a series of miserable screams.

The Wu'an army simply couldn't withstand this kind of lightning.

The tribulation passer is a near-Myth of Ten Directions level person.

They were implicated in the tribulation, and naturally endured the heavenly tribulation of this level.

Boom!

Crack!

Wherever the lightning fell, as long as it hit, they would instantly be reduced to ashes, without any suspense.

The entire battlefield, in a moment, turned into a silver sea of lightning.

All the Wu'an troops attacking the city were not spared, and were submerged by the sea of thunder, emitting miserable screams, the sound of which resounded through the mountains and rivers, reaching the city, echoing throughout the entire city.

Everyone on the city wall was stunned, watching this scene in disbelief.

They could even use the method of tribulation to kill the Wu'an army.

It must be said that this method was too crazy, and perhaps no one except this Yue Wuxie would dare to use it.

Because if it were someone else, when faced with the Wu'an army's attack and hiding in the tribulation clouds, they would instantly be reduced to ashes.

A tribulation passer, taking the initiative to enter the tribulation clouds, would be regarded as a provocation by the heavenly tribulation, and would be subjected to a stronger heavenly punishment, and would surely die.

But that Yue Wuxie was safe and sound.

Although the tribulation clouds were thick, and the sky was changing, they couldn't see his figure at all.

But the heavenly tribulation was still continuing, indicating that the tribulation passer was still there, and if he died, the heavenly tribulation would dissipate in an instant.

"My god, if we had a few more Yue Wuxie in our army, and used this method in turns, we could destroy millions of Wu'an people!"

The border army generals exclaimed, watching the terrifying lightning, constantly falling from the tribulation clouds, the entire battlefield on the ground turned into a silver sea of lightning.

The electric arcs flickered, and the scene was quite terrifying.

"Boy! Who are you?"

Bahru's chariot retreated to the mountain pass, and he and several strong men around him coldly looked towards the scene of the Wu'an army camp, his chest heaving violently with anger, and he had the urge to vomit blood.

Five hundred thousand troops were actually destroyed so easily by someone in this way, with the help of the power of heaven, and it only took a moment.

"What, Commander Bahru, do you want to invite me to sit in your Wu'an army camp?" A cold voice came from the thick and ever-changing tribulation clouds, "It seems that Commander Bahru doesn't plan to continue attacking the city today. Then, please lead the way, Commander Bahru."

As the voice fell, Bahru, with an iron-blue face, saw the tribulation clouds covering a radius of several miles in the sky quickly moving towards the area where he was.

"Boy, you are extremely hateful! After the heavenly tribulation, this commander will make you regret it!"

Bahru was furious, and at the same time frightened, this heavenly tribulation was very terrifying, and if he was implicated in the tribulation, the consequences would be very serious.

He drove the chariot and fled in a panic, rushed out of the mountain pass, and shouted loudly to the camp from afar: "The three armies listen to the order, break up into smaller units, and disperse at a fast speed, get away!"

The military camp, stretching for dozens of miles, the soldiers didn't understand what was going on, and suddenly heard the commander's voice, and after a slight pause, they quickly dispersed.

It wasn't until they ran a long way that they saw a terrifying tribulation cloud, chasing their commander to flee for his life.

The tribulation cloud was extremely fast, and had already approached the camp area.

Although the Wu'an army quickly retreated and dispersed, their numbers were too large, how could their speed compare to Jun Wuxie's?

Some people successfully dispersed, but some people didn't have time, and were covered by the heavenly tribulation, submerged by the sea of thunder, and emitted miserable and desperate screams, and soon turned into ashes.

Jun Wuxie showed no mercy at all, constantly chasing the Wu'an army, and reaping the lives of the Wu'an army in large numbers.

"Who is that young man, he can actually transcend the tribulation like this!"

On a mountain peak in a mountain range, many young men and women in blood-stained clothes stood on the mountain peak and looked towards the scene of the Wu'an army camp.

"The war has lasted for half a year, and it has been going smoothly, and it seems that in a few months, the border city can be broken. I didn't expect that someone would come out at this time. This time, the Wu'an army has suffered heavy losses. Even if the border city is captured in the end, the price will be too great."

“The楼主 asked me to come and assist Wu An in attacking the border city of Da Gan. It's truly hateful that such a thing has happened! We can only wait for that kid to finish his tribulation and then kill him.”

“This person has a very high aptitude for growth, but his realm is very low. He's only undergoing the Saint King Tribulation, a whole major realm lower than us. Killing him is easier than crushing an ant!”

“Tell me, why does 楼主 want to support Wu An in unifying Qing Province? Although Wu An is a large dynasty, it's at a very low level in the cultivation world, far inferior to our Seven Kill Tower in Han Province. We wouldn't have even glanced at such a power in the past. Now, 楼主 actually wants to cultivate the Wu An royal family into puppets. It's really hard to understand.”

“楼主 naturally has his reasons for doing so. We are only inner tower disciples. We are fortunate to receive a task assigned by 楼主. We must not speak carelessly!”

“That kid must have an ancient treasure on him that wards off lightning, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so reckless during the Heavenly Tribulation…”

… …

In this area, thunder rumbled continuously, lightning flashed, and screams echoed through the mountains.

Jun Wuxie frantically pursued the Wu An army, causing them heavy losses.

By the time he was undergoing the last major tribulation, the Wu An army had suffered more than half their casualties under the lightning tribulation.

He didn't continue the pursuit, but returned to outside the border city, fighting the nine order-based lightning manifestations of himself within the thick tribulation clouds.

Because his lightning resistance is now getting stronger and stronger, even the attacks of the nine lightning order incarnations cannot hurt him at all.

Before long, he shattered the nine great lightning incarnations.

The whole process took place in the vortex at the center of the tribulation clouds, and no one could see it.

“He has passed the Saint King Tribulation.”

A general in the border army muttered to himself, still feeling like he was dreaming at this moment.

They didn't know how many casualties the Wu An Dynasty's army had suffered this time, but they expected it to be very heavy.

That Yue Wuxie chased after Bakhru, how could he let go of the Wu An army's camp?

The crisis of the border city was actually alleviated a lot because a Saint King realm youth was undergoing tribulation.

The number of Wu An's army has been sharply reduced, and the defense pressure on the border city has naturally been reduced.

“What exactly does this son want to do?”

Ning Wang pondered secretly, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.

To be relaxed and at ease in the Heavenly Tribulation, and still that kind of terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.

This kind of person's aptitude for growth is too terrifying, and his personality is extremely strong and uncontrollable.

It would be fine if he had another identity, but he just happens to be from True Martial Peak.

Jun Wuxie walked down from the sky where the tribulation clouds had dissipated.

Now every cell in his body was excited.

Breaking through to the early stage of the Saint King Realm's Lesser Celestial, achieving a major realm level leap from Saint to Saint King, his strength is not simply doubled.

Before the breakthrough, if he faced a Great Saint Lesser Celestial powerhouse, he would not be able to defeat him at all.

But now, he can crush them into minced meat with one punch!

This is the difference!

Not only has his strength increased explosively, but he has also entered a new realm level, with only one major realm barrier separating him from the Great Saint realm. Previously, there were two.

“What difficulty is there in repelling the Wu An army?”

He landed in front of the general who had said in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion that Anning didn't understand the battlefield and that he was going to drag hundreds of thousands of border troops to their deaths, and said: “Have hundreds of thousands of border troops died?”

The general was immediately speechless, not knowing how to answer, his face full of embarrassment, and his face was flushed red.

“The border troops didn't die, but millions of Wu An soldiers died. I see that you have been rationally analyzing the battle situation every day for the past six months, but it seems that you haven't achieved this.”

“Yue Wuxie, don't be too smug. You are only relying on the Heavenly Tribulation, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to repel the Wu An army. Besides, the Wu An army has only been temporarily dispersed, and it will soon regroup and attack again!”

“Earlier in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, you also said it was absolutely impossible, don't talk about Heavenly Tribulation or not Heavenly Tribulation, you can also use Heavenly Tribulation if you are not convinced, if you can't do it then shut up! Who gave you the courage to question Anning, do you think your IQ is higher than Anning's, or are you smarter than her. What you can think of, doesn't she think of it? Remember, don't use your stupidity to insult her IQ.”

“Young Master Yue.”

Anning suddenly had a sweet feeling in her heart when she heard him defending her like this.

“Boy, you are very good, this king agrees with Ning'er's tactics!” Ning Wang stared at Jun Wuxie, his eyes deep, “Commander Zhou, temporarily hand over the command of the troops to Princess Anning.”

“This…”

The border army commander was a little reluctant, these were all his soldiers.

In fact, of course, they are Da Gan's soldiers. As the border army commander, he is just a person who eats salary and is a subject.

It's just that he has been a commander for many years, and inevitably regards the border army as his own sons.

Now suddenly having to hand these people over, he subconsciously felt a sense of resistance.

“Do you want to disobey orders?”

Ning Wang was not angry, just looked at him calmly, but it made Commander Zhou feel a chill all over his body, and quickly lowered his head and said: “This subordinate obeys!”

He quickly ordered another group of generals around him, and then took out the military talisman and handed it to Princess Anning.

Jun Wuxie watched silently, thinking in his heart that it would not be easy for Anning to sit firmly in power in the future.

She is known as the Female Zhuge, and although she is famous in Da Gan, she has never held a position in the dynasty.

Even in the territory under Ning Wang's jurisdiction, she doesn't have any official position, let alone a military position.

Some troops do not obey her, such as the border army here, only Ning Wang can suppress them.

“For a leader, the army first needs to recognize their ability, which is the foundation. Once you have this foundation, other things will be easier to handle.”

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, now is the time to use the border city defense battle to establish prestige, and then see how things go in the future.

At this time, Anning was holding the military talisman tightly, feeling nervous in her heart.

After all, it was the first time she held the military talisman, which was equivalent to holding the lives of more than one million soldiers.

She felt that the military talisman in her hand was so heavy, so heavy that it made her feel suffocated.

“Don't be afraid, I estimate that the Wu An Dynasty will still need a few days to completely gather its army and regain its fighting spirit.”

“The border army is brave and has been fighting on the border for many years. The military style is sturdy and the temperament is wild. I am worried that some of them will not obey my arrangements.”

There are always some thorns in each army, which are quite a headache. Often that kind of person is quite popular in the army.

“Disobey?” Jun Wuxie said indifferently: “A soldier's duty is to obey, not to do whatever they want. If there is not even the most basic discipline, what is the use of such an army. If it were me, anyone who dares to provoke military discipline would be killed on the spot to serve as a warning to others!”

“This…” Commander Zhou's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to Anning: “Princess, you must not listen to Young Master Yue. Killing people in the army at will will only disrupt the morale of the army, stimulate the rebellious psychology of the three armies, and打击士气.”

“Commander Zhou, if you only have this much city, and you still have your own little thoughts hidden in your heart, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to live long.”

The corner of Commander Zhou's eyes twitched fiercely. He never expected that Princess Anning would say such words to him in front of so many people, in front of Ning Wang.

“A general must not only know how to fight, but also be loyal to his duties, loyal to the mountains and rivers, loyal to the country, and loyal to the monarch.” Jun Wuxie said with a smile, “If Princess Anning takes power in the future, I hope you can make the right choice and don't do things that make people unhappy.”

As soon as these words came out, the generals and civil servants present all showed shocked expressions.

An even more fierce cold light flashed in Ning Wang's eyes.

“Young Master Yue, why did you…”

Ning Wang interrupted her: “Ning'er, take the tiger talisman to the military camp, the arrangements should be made as soon as possible, Father is waiting for your great victory in a few days.”

A look of hesitation appeared on Anning's face, and she cast an inquiring look at Jun Wuxie.

Seeing him nod, she hurriedly left.

Ning Wang saw all this in his eyes, and a raging fire rushed to the top of his head.

What means did this kid use?

Now, his daughter doesn't listen to him, only listens to this kid.

“Yue Wuxie, this king has something to say to you.”

Ning Wang's eyes were indifferent, and after saying that, he turned and left.

Jun Wuxie followed behind, and soon they came to a secret room in the City Lord's Mansion.

“Ning Wang, your killing intent makes me uncomfortable.” Jun Wuxie sat on the chair, leaning back slightly, and said: “You can come and try, I guarantee that Anning will wear filial piety for you today.”

“Yue Wuxie, you are very arrogant and very confident.” Ning Wang's expression was calm, and he sat down slowly, and said: “You want to kill me, and then help Ning'er to take the throne, completely control her, and treat her as a puppet?”
