Emperor Hong Wu and the Dao Realm experts stood on the city wall. Seeing this scene in front of them, their pupils constricted and they took in a breath of cold air, “Supreme Northern Radiance! When did Li Qing subdue these ten Blood Divine Army?”

“This is terrible. The strength of the opponent is too great for us. This battle is very difficult to fight!” Everyone’s expressions were extremely ugly.

“There are also the old divine dragons and Nether Demon Sovereigns of the East China Sea. Other than Emperor Hong Wu, there is no one on our side who can contend against them. How should we fight this battle?”

Before they could think of a result, Li Qing did not give them any buffer time. He waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

“Emperor Hongwu, it’s still the same rule. The two of us will fight again!” Li Qing laughed heartily.

“Imperial Extreme Peerless Fist!” Emperor Hong Wu’s reply was another of his signature techniques.

The two of them rushed up to the Nine Heavens and started an unprecedented battle. Below them was a battle between the various legions and Dao Realm experts.

Blood Divine Army and Autarch Northlight unleashed their power. Blood glowed and no one was able to block them. Not long after, they tore open a line of defense and entered the area to start a massacre.

The old divine dragon circled in the sky and opened its mouth to spit out a large dragon flame. It drowned the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold and quickly burned out large holes in its defense.

Moreover, the Nether Sea of Fire directly pressed down, turning the entire stronghold into a sea of fire.

Of course, the Righteous path elites inside were desperately resisting, but unfortunately, their strength was not high enough to block these attacks. Not long after, a large portion of the city defenses fell.

The Nine-eyed Heavenly Centipede opened one of its eyes and activated its innate divine ability. It was the most destructive divine ability among them … Cut!

This innate divine ability landed on the city wall, directly cutting the strongest defensive line from ancient times into two halves, separating it from each other, opening a door for people to enter and exit.

“Kill!”

Endless black tides poured in from this gap and started a fierce battle.

“Damn it, I can’t hold on any longer!” The Righteous path elites inside were suppressed and beaten, and they had almost no power to retaliate.

With absolute strength, the power of the Myriad Devil Sect had already surpassed that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Li Qing took out the Blood Divine Army and summoned the old divine dragon, the outcome was already determined.

Emperor Hongwu also saw the situation below. He knew that the defeat was certain. He didn’t have the leisure to fight Li Qing alone. He immediately flew down and launched the Heavenly Emperor Battle Formation. He swept across the surroundings, winning some breathing space for the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold.

“Emperor Hongwu, the situation is not good. The gap in strength is a little big. If we continue fighting like this, we will all die here today!” Said Elder Sword.

“Could it be that you gave up the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold so easily?” Emperor Hong Wu’s expression was extremely ugly.

‘”It’s impossible not to give up. The Myriad Devil Sect’s high-end combat power is too strong. Even if we join forces, it’s still far inferior. Today’s plan is to return to Tian Yuan City and suppress Li Qing with the luck of a country. Only then will we be able to completely resolve this crisis!”

Emperor Hong Wu looked around from afar. More and more people fell down. Smoke and gunpowder rose from the surroundings. All of them were burning with black flames. For some reason, a bleak feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

“I, Grand Emperor Hong Wu, a peerless expert of the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm, have actually fallen to this level!”

He originally thought that after reaching the Eight Tribulations of the Dao Realm, he would basically be invincible under the heavens. The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the Central Region like the sun, and sooner or later, he would be revered as a generation’s emperor in the world.

Who would have thought that Li Qing would actually reach such a powerful level in such a short period of time, causing his life’s beautiful dreams to be ruined.

“Do you really want to retreat? Relying on Tian Yuan City as a defense, gather the fate of a country and fight to the death with the Myriad Devil Sect?” Emperor Hong Wu was unconvinced.

“Ah–”

Right at this moment, a miserable scream came from afar, causing a great dao to tremble. Surprisingly, a Dao Realm expert had fallen.

“Haha, this is really sweet blood!” The Corpse God was bathed in blood, trampling the dead Dao Realm expert beneath his feet.

On the Righteous path, his eyes split open, his hair pointing upwards, but a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart. The gap between the two sides was too great, and casualties gradually increased. If he continued to drag on, he would only die.

The corners of Emperor Hong Wu’s eyes twitched a few times and he fiercely said, “The entire army retreat, I’ll cut off the rear!”

…

The war lasted for a day and night. Finally, it was over. The Devil’s Way occupied the Heavenly Stronghold and counted the casualties.

After the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty retreated, the demonic forces naturally wouldn’t let them leave easily. They immediately chased after them, bleeding thousands of kilometers and leaving corpses everywhere.

If it weren’t for Emperor Hong Wu’s death, many more people would have died.

Afterwards, Diabolism held a celebration banquet. Especially the old divine dragon who had come to help, Li Qing had even given him many benefits. He took out many divine medicines from Lord Chang Sheng’s treasury to extend his life, causing the old divine dragon’s heart to be excited.

“Defeating the Great Zhou Dynasty this time is absolutely decisive. Facts have proved that even the Central and Eastern Regions combined are no match for us!” The Second Hall Master laughed heartily and was very happy.

‘”Sect Master is still amazing! He silently took out so many trump cards! If it weren’t for Sect Master’s methods, it would definitely be impossible for us Myriad Devil Sect to defeat the Great Zhou Dynasty with just a dozen or so Dao Realm experts.”

“Everything depends on the methods of the Demon Lord! Turning corruption into magic can do things that ordinary people cannot do.” Everyone flattered him.

‘”Everyone, don’t let down your guard. The next test will be the biggest. After the Great Zhou Dynasty lost the Heaven Traversing Stronghold, they will know that they are no match for us. They will probably retreat strategically and wait for us in Tian Yuan City.” Li Qing said.

“What are we afraid of in Tian Yuan City? How many difficulties have we broken through along the way? The Holy City, the Sword God Mountain, and the Heavenly Stronghold have all stepped on us!” Their confidence was unprecedentedly inflated.

Li Qing shook his head. “Tian Yuan City is different. It can be said to be the center of heaven and earth. It has magical power. Back then, the Great Zhou Dynasty was surrounded for a hundred years but was unable to take down it. From this, it can be seen.”

“More importantly, Emperor Hongwu can use the power of a country’s destiny to increase his strength within his own capital. Now that the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty is on the rise, his strength will definitely increase beyond imagination. At that time, he will have the power to threaten my life.”

Everyone couldn’t help but look serious when they thought of this. “Indeed, it’s very troublesome. Tian Yuan City is definitely the number one divine city in the world. With the blessing of the kingdom’s luck, it will be our greatest test!”

However, the fate of a country is related to the strength of a country. If we occupy all the other territories in the Central Region, leaving only Tian Yuan City, wouldn’t that weaken the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Someone said.

Everyone was stunned and thought carefully. This method seemed to make sense! If there was only one Tian Yuan City left in Great Zhou, wouldn’t it be exactly the same as the Da Qian Dynasty back then?

Dao Sovereign Zhulong laughed loudly, “This method is absolutely effective! Back then, when I was guarding Tian Yuan City, I had already experienced this kind of change. As long as I lose my territory, the fate of the country will also fall to the bottom!”

“Emperor Hongwu and the others are definitely planning to use Tian Yuan City to fight back. We will also pretend to cooperate and wait until we surround Tian Yuan City before implementing this strategy. At that time, they won’t even have time to cry!”

Dao Sovereign Zhulong smiled and said, “Back then, when I was trapped in Tian Yuan City, how miserable was the situation? I didn’t expect that the Great Zhou Dynasty would soon fall into this situation. The rise and fall of the dynasty would only be in a single thought!”

…

Inside Tian Yuan City, Emperor Hong Wu fled back to his lair and got some time to rest. However, in the process of retreating, he was in charge of cutting off the rear and was surrounded and killed by many Diabolism major powers, but he was also seriously injured.

“The Diabolism forces are relentlessly pursuing us. They have already occupied the lands of the Qingyang Continent. We do not have much resistance.” Someone said.

“The situation is not good. Do you really want to abandon half of your territory and defend Tian Yuan City?”

“What else can you do? If you’re not convinced, you can go to the front and fight Diabolism. You’ll know how powerful their power is!”

Emperor Hongwu casually waved his hand, signaling them to stop arguing. He said, “There’s no need to say anything else. Follow my instructions and defend Tian Yuan City. I will gather the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty here. The Jedi will retaliate and kill Li Qing!”

“I have experienced countless tribulations in my life, but I have always relied on astonishing willpower and absolute confidence to turn the tables on the Jedi. I believe that this time, I will not be an exception!”

Emperor Hong Wu’s gaze was deep and deep as he looked at the distant sky, flickering with endless cold light.

Half a month later, Diabolism’s army finally arrived in front of Tian Yuan City. Everywhere they passed, they turned into scorched earth.

“Coming, Li Qing, this time I’ll let you see how powerful I am!” Emperor Hongwu’s gaze was cold, and he held back his anger in his heart. He had to do something big.

Ever since he ascended the throne, he had rarely experienced such a miserable situation. After being chased for tens of thousands of kilometers and running wildly, even if he ascended to the Sovereign Human Emperor position in the future, he would inevitably be laughed at by others if he took out this part of his past.

“After gathering the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am an invincible existence here. My strength has increased by countless times. I definitely have a chance to kill Li Qing!”

“Your Majesty, they have begun to besiege the city. It seems that they are still building fortifications.” Someone came to report.

“Fortress Besiegement? Could it be that they are planning to fight a protracted war? It seems that in their hearts, it is impossible to break through Tian Yuan City in a short period of time. Since that’s the case, then I’ll have a good time with you!” Emperor Hong Wu sneered.

Diabolism’s army did not dare to get too close to Tian Yuan City. Instead, they set up war fortresses three hundred kilometers away, forming a huge circle. Because the distance was too far, it was impossible to completely surround them, but it also blocked all the outlets.

Li Qing knew that Emperor Hongwu’s gathering of the kingdom’s luck had a range of effect. It should be around three hundred li. This distance was more or less appropriate. It could block the way out of Tian Yuan City, and there was no need to worry about being injured by Emperor Hongwu.

Emperor Hongwu waited for a long time for Diabolism to attack the city. However, before he could even wait for anyone, the Myriad Devil Sect stopped three hundred miles away. This was the limit of his attack range!

This made him very uncomfortable. If Diabolism didn’t attack, what would he use to kill Li Qing? It was as if a fist had landed in the air, and there was a feeling that it could not use its strength.
