171: Li Guang breaks through to the Immortal King realm.

Half a year passed in a flash.

Under Yuan Chu's control, the Five Evolutions Supreme World sped through the starry sky, devouring and fusing with six Major Thousand Worlds along the way!

With every world devoured, the Origin of Five Evolutions grew stronger, the Dao and Laws of heaven and earth became a bit more complete, and the immortal spiritual qi grew a bit denser.

As the Incarnation of the world's will, Yuan Chu's cultivation soared from the Early Golden Immortal stage all the way to the Middle Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm; her Foundation was incredibly solid, and her control over the world's power became increasingly refined.

Di Yan had not been idle during this half-year either; besides the Harem, it was more Harem, truly becoming a bit lax.

However, even so, his cultivation crossed several minor Realms from the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, breaking through to the Early Golden Immortal stage in one fell swoop!

Core civil and military officials like the Master of the Ghost Valley, Wang Jian, and the Historical Strategist also made rapid progress with the help of the Ten Thousand Dao Source Court Secret Realm and Immortal Court resources, stepping into the Golden Immortal Realm one after another.

Ye Gucheng's Sword Intent became increasingly pure, having already reached Golden Immortal Perfection and touching the threshold of the Immortal King Realm.

The strength of the entire Taiyan Immortal Court had undergone earth-shaking changes!

The number of Golden Immortals approached double digits.

Immortals were popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Within the entire Five Evolutions world, the path of immortality flourished with a magnificent atmosphere!

The Taiyan Immortal Court was now a Rank Five Immortal Court, and its Luck Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon had reached a length of one million zhang.

As for the Dark Night Elf Clan, they had already migrated over.

Under Di Yan's suppression, they remained relatively peaceful with the Light Elves.

During this half-year, most of the time was spent conquering Yue Li and Queen Ye Li.

These two women were very restless, but fortunately, through unremitting efforts, the results were extremely significant.

The two could now cooperate tacitly on how to make Di Yan experience the ultimate pleasures of the mortal world.

As for the nine clans of the Myriad Laws Star Realm, due to the surrender of the Dark Night Elf Clan, their Alliance had temporarily come to an end.

On this day, inside the Imperial Study.

Di Yan was discussing political affairs with the Historical Strategist and Xiao Heng when he suddenly felt something.

Wei Zhongxian came in to report:

"Your Majesty, Ye Ting, the Lead General of the Earth Kui Star Garrison Army, has returned from the Myriad Laws Star Realm and is waiting outside the hall for your command."

Di Yan looked up: "Summon him."

Wei Zhongxian turned and called out: "Summon Ye Ting, the Lead General of the Earth Kui Star Garrison Army, for an audience!"

Ye Ting walked in quickly and bowed:

"Your Majesty! This official has fortunately fulfilled the mission! Everyone in the Burial Sword Sect, from Elders to Core Disciples, totaling five hundred and seven thousand three hundred people, have voluntarily submitted and are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Di Yan nodded and praised: "Well done."

Just as he was about to give orders, he suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze toward the Martial Arts Square outside the hall.

"Follow me."

Di Yan stood up and, taking the Historical Strategist, Xiao Heng, and Ye Ting with him, stepped out and arrived at the vast Martial Arts Square.

On one side of the square, over five hundred thousand Burial Sword Sect Cultivators stood solemnly; most were at the Supreme, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor, True Immortal, or Profound Immortal Realms, with quite a few Earth Immortals and three Heavenly Immortals.

They curiously observed this core area of the Immortal Court.

Right then.

At the center of the Martial Arts Square, the entrance to the eternally standing Ten Thousand Dao Source Court Secret Realm suddenly vibrated violently!

"Buzz—!"

A vast dao rhyme and majestic Evil Qi mixed together and soared into the sky!

Then, under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, the Secret Realm's light gate crashed open!

A pitch-black banner with the word "Extinction" on it was the first to pierce through the light screen!

Following that, a hundred thousand soldiers clad in black Extinction armor with soaring Evil Qi marched out of the Secret Realm in a uniform, earth-shaking step!

At their head was none other than the Li Guang—Li Guang!

At this moment, the Li Guang's posture was even more upright, his tiger-like eyes flashing like lightning, and his entire body was surrounded by incredibly thick Dao fluctuations!

The Immortal King Realm!

And he was an Immortal King with a solid Foundation!

The hundred thousand soldiers of the Annihilation Army behind him were also completely different from before!

Those with the lowest cultivation had risen from Profound Immortal to Earth Immortal!

There were a total of eight Golden Immortal auras standing tall at the front of the army formation!

The entire army was silent, but the terrifying Evil Qi they gathered caused the temperature on the square to drop sharply, the space to distort, and those with weaker cultivation almost suffocated!

Ye Ting and the five hundred thousand plus Burial Sword Sect Cultivators he brought were all dumbfounded, their legs weak, and some even knelt directly on the ground, trembling all over!

An Immortal King!

A terrifying army of a hundred thousand who were at least Earth Immortals!

What kind of terrifying power was this?!

It was enough to sweep through most of the forces in the Myriad Laws Star Realm!

The Li Guang's gaze swept across and instantly locked onto Di Yan; his tiger-like eyes narrowed, he strode forward, knelt heavily on one knee, cupped his fists, and roared:

"this humble general Li Guang, leading the Annihilation Army, has come out of seclusion to report for duty!"

The hundred thousand soldiers of the Annihilation Army followed suit, kneeling on one knee in unison, their armor clanking, and their voices like thunder:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Di Yan looked at this iron-blooded army that had undergone a complete transformation, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes:

"Rise, all soldiers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Li Guang and the hundred thousand soldiers responded loudly, stood up solemnly, and waited for orders.

Di Yan ordered:

"Li Guang, since you have come out of seclusion, lead the Annihilation Army to assist Yuan Chu in accelerating the progress of the Five Evolutions world, clearing all obstacles ahead and suppressing all who refuse to submit!"

"this humble general accepts the command!" The Li Guang cupped his fists, his Battle Intent burning fiercely.

After saying that, he turned and shouted to the hundred thousand soldiers of the Annihilation Army:

"All troops, hear my command! Target: the starry sky front line! Set out!"

"We obey the General's command!"

The hundred thousand soldiers of the Annihilation Army once again turned into a black torrent, led by the Li Guang, soaring into the sky, tearing through the Void Realm, and racing toward the outside of the world!

After the Annihilation Army left, Di Yan looked at Ye Ting, who was trembling with excitement nearby:

"Ye Ting."

"I am here!" Ye Ting's whole body shook, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Wei Zhongxian." Di Yan instructed Wei Zhongxian, who was standing to the side:

"Take Ye Ting and the Burial Sword Sect Cultivators to the Ministry of War to register them and enroll them into the Immortal Court's military records."

"Additionally, allocate from the Troop Reserve to fill the Earth Kui Star Garrison Army to ten million troops!"

Wei Zhongxian bowed: "This old servant obeys your decree."

Di Yan finally said to Ye Ting: "Ye Ting, once the army is fully prepared, lead them on a campaign. Target: all Major Thousand Worlds along the way! Conquer them, or destroy them."

Ye Ting's blood boiled, and he cupped his fists heavily, his voice hoarse with excitement:

"I, Ye Ting, will certainly not fail Your Majesty's high expectations! I will surely expand the territory for Your Majesty and the Dynasty, even if I have to die ten thousand deaths!"

Di Yan waved his hand.

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and said to Ye Ting and the people of the Burial Sword Sect in the distance:

"Everyone, please follow this old servant."

Ye Ting took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and excitement in his heart, and led the five hundred and twenty thousand Disciples of the Burial Sword Sect to follow Wei Zhongxian toward the Ministry of War.

Di Yan withdrew his gaze and instructed Xiao Heng: "Pass the order to all armies to divide into two batches; one batch will continue to conquer the surrounding Major Thousand Worlds."

"The other batch will return and enter the Ten Thousand Dao Source Court to Cultivate."

Xiao Heng bowed and said: "I obey your decree, Your Majesty."

Di Yan nodded slightly, said no more, and with a flash of his figure, disappeared from the spot.
