193: Chapter 193 We've won!

The blood-colored murderous intent receded like a tide, and the peerless array that had frozen the eternal time and space quietly vanished along with that satisfying sound of a sword hum.

The entire Chaos battlefield returned to that heart-stopping dead silence.

No, it was even more terrifying than dead silence.

At the spot where Carlos had previously stood, a massive circular scar remained, one that was being frantically repelled by the Chaos Laws, yet stubbornly maintained its own "absolute nothingness."

There, it was a patch of pure "nothingness."

No time, no space, no matter, no Law.

It was the Zhu Xian Sword Array, leaving an eternal warning to this Universe.

Everyone stared blankly at that void, from the ordinary soldiers of the Heavenly Court, to the seasoned Taiyi and Golden Immortal bigwigs of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty and Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and even to the envoys from various parties far away at the Southern Heaven Gate who thought they had figured out the Heavenly Court's true strength.

At this moment, their brains had all turned into mush.

If it could be said that previously, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, using supreme Buddhist Dharma to deliver thousands of heroic Souls, was the Incarnation of divinity and compassion, and the light shining upon the world.

Then what was that man just now, who raised a killing array with a single thought and erased the enemy from the level of "existence" along with space in the snap of a finger?

Was he a demon, wielding termination and destruction?

God and demon, light and darkness, compassion and slaughter... these concepts that should have been diametrically opposed and incompatible were perfectly fused within the same person.

This had completely exceeded the limits of their cognition.

On the zhou tian star boat, Li Qingyue's cold and beautiful face revealed, for the first time, emotions other than "coldness"—a mixture of shock and bewilderment.

Her eyes, which could perceive the flow of time, stared fixedly at her father's back. For the first time, she realized that the Law of time she was so proud of seemed... a bit immature in the face of her father's true power.

Beside her, Li Changsheng's state appeared even more bizarre.

The wooden sword in his hand was trembling violently. An unprecedented, sharp Sword Intent that almost threatened to burst him apart uncontrollably surged from within him into the sky, shredding the surrounding Chaos Qi into pieces!

He stared fixedly at that "void," and in his eyes, there was no fear, but instead, two flames burned, more intense than the sun!

That was the unparalleled excitement and trembling from the depths of his Soul, experienced by a swordsman who had the fortune to glimpse the "ultimate" of the Dao of the sword!

His Dao of the sword had been stuck at a certain Bottleneck for a long time.

But today, after witnessing the brilliance of his father's sword strike with his own eyes!

"Crack—" A soft sound came from the depths of Li Changsheng's Dao Heart.

The door that had imprisoned him for so long, leading to a higher Realm, shattered with a roar!

A brand-new Sword Intent, purer, more refined, and closer to the Origin of "destruction" and "termination," erupted from within him!

Amidst this strange silence, the black-robed figure holding the infant slowly withdrew his gaze.

Li Cihang in his arms seemed completely unaffected by the world-destroying murderous intent; instead, having seen the brilliant "gray fireworks," he excitedly made "cooing" sounds, waving his small, fair fists, his little face full of curiosity.

The cold murderous intent on Li Xuan's face vanished the moment he looked down at his son, replaced once again by the tenderness of a father.

He tapped the little guy's nose gently, as if the taboo existence from just a moment ago, who slaughtered gods and demons and slashed through the Void Realm itself, had nothing to do with him.

He turned around, took a step, and his figure was about to return to the Southern Heaven Gate.

Just at this moment.

"Ooooooh————!!!" Someone, having recovered from the extreme shock, let out a wild scream that was so hoarse it broke their voice!

This shout was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg!

"We... won?"

"Won! We won! The scum of the Boundary Sea have been completely annihilated!"

"Long live His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!!!"

"Ahhhhh! The Heavenly Emperor is invincible!!"

The dead silence was instantly ignited!

The overwhelming ecstasy and excitement of surviving a disaster turned into earth-shattering cheers that resounded throughout the entire Chaos Star Domain!

Countless Heavenly Court soldiers, who a moment ago were grieving for the heroic Souls of their ancestors, then angry at the tragic deaths of their comrades, and then shocked by the Heavenly Emperor's supreme power of being both god and demon... various emotions piled up in their chests, almost driving them mad.

And now, the moment the word "victory" was shouted, all emotions found an outlet for release!

They roared and shouted wildly, throwing their weapons into the air!

Some veteran soldiers wailed and laughed loudly at the same time, looking like madmen!

Some young soldiers were so excited that they hugged their comrades tightly, slapping each other's backs with all their might!

Even those Dragon Clan Elders, who usually maintained their dignity, could not care about their image at this moment. Several massive True Dragons rolled and roared excitedly in the Void Realm, the sound of their dragon roars filled with unparalleled exhilaration!

Won!

Facing the legendary, terrifying Boundary Sea army that had once made the entire Immortal Domain tremble, they had not only won, but achieved final victory in a manner that was almost a crushing defeat!

This battle had completely established the prestige of the Heavenly Court!

This battle had completely solidified the morale of everyone!

It had even more thoroughly transformed the name "Li Xuan" into a supreme deity, forever branded into the deepest part of every living being's Soul!

Amidst these earth-shaking cheers, Li Changsheng also awoke from the mysterious state of his Dao of the sword Breakthrough.

He glanced at the army formation below, which looked like a boiling ocean, and then at the figure not far away who was about to leave. His heart, which was burning because of his Dao of the sword Breakthrough, was filled with an even more intense emotion at this moment.

That was the admiration and worship of a son for his father!

And even more, the awe and loyalty of a general to his commander!

He took a deep breath, tidied up the white clothes that had already become tattered in the fierce battle, restrained the Sword Intent that almost threatened to split the Void Realm, and walked towards Li Xuan.

Behind him, the Great General of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, the commander of the Dragon Guard Army, and dozens of Golden Immortal and Taiyi Immortal generals who had survived the war and were covered in blood immediately understood and silently followed behind him.

"Thump!" Li Changsheng arrived before that "void scar" erased by the zhu xian sword Qi, and stopped at a distance of a hundred feet from Li Xuan.

Then, under the gaze of billions of eyes.

This white-clad, jade-like, elegant Great Demon-Slaying Marshal of the Heavenly Court, who had just killed a Grand Unity Golden Immortal single-handedly and achieved a Breakthrough in his Dao of the sword on the spot, with unparalleled momentum, knelt on one knee decisively!

The blood on his body was still dripping down the hem of his clothes.

His complexion appeared somewhat pale due to the intense battle against the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

But his eyes were as bright as the most brilliant stars in the night sky!

He raised his head, looking up at the towering figure holding his newborn brother, and with a slightly hoarse voice mixed with fatigue, excitement, reverence, and endless pride, delivered a report that resounded throughout the entire battlefield!

"Father Commander!"

Just these two words caused the earth-shaking cheers below to pause.

Countless fanatical eyes converged in unison.

Li Changsheng straightened his back, which remained as straight as a sword even while kneeling, and his voice suddenly rose!

"Thirty-eight thousand of the Boundary Sea vanguard army, and three Dark Titans, have all been executed!"

"The Heavenly Court has achieved a great victory!"

He lowered his head, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor belonging to a youth, finally gathering into that simplest and most fervent sentence.

"We... have won!"

We have won!

These five simple words, like the loudest bell toll, slammed heavily into everyone's heart!

The cheers below, which had just subsided for a moment, erupted with a force ten times more intense than before!

"We won!!"

"The Heavenly Court will surely win!! The Heavenly Emperor is invincible!!"

Looking at the youth kneeling on one knee before him, who was both his son and his number one battle general, Li Xuan's footsteps, which were about to move, finally stopped.

He looked at Li Changsheng's face, which still carried a hint of childishness but already possessed the demeanor of a peerless sword immortal, looked at his eyes burning with flames, looked at the hideous wounds on his body... a sense of pride and self-esteem as a father melted in his heart like the most mellow wine.

This was his son!

He did not put on any airs of the Heavenly Emperor anymore.

He held Li Cihang in his arms, slowly walked in front of Li Changsheng, extended his other hand, and personally helped him up.

His hand was steady and powerful.

A gentle, heartfelt smile appeared on his face, his eyes full of approval.

"You've worked hard, Changsheng."

"You did very well."

No excessive words, no flowery language.

But this simple sentence and action caused Li Changsheng's rock-solid Dao Heart to tremble uncontrollably, and a warm current instantly surged through his entire body.

He felt that all the injuries he had suffered and all the dangers he had experienced were worth it at this moment!

"It is my honor to fight for Father Commander and for the Heavenly Court!"

Li Changsheng bowed and replied in a deep voice.

Li Xuan smiled and patted his shoulder, his gaze passing over him to look at the generals behind him who had also fought fiercely and were now excited, and nodded.

"Pass on my decree."

His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears, causing the fanatical cheers to subside once again.

"All troops, return in triumph!"

"After tallying the battle merits, we shall feast for three days and reward merits accordingly!"

"Boom——!!!" Cheers, more fanatical and louder than any before, completely ignited the entire starry sky!

The flag of the Heavenly Court fluttered high amidst the smoke of war and the glory of victory!

After this battle, Li Xuan knew that his "second-generation god" legion had finally completed its first tempering!

And the Heavenly Court, this lion that had slept for eternity, finally revealed for the first time to this dilapidated Immortal Domain, its ferocious fangs capable of tearing everything apart!

Holding his youngest son, looking at his eldest son who could now stand on his own, his gaze passed through the endless Chaos, looking towards the more distant and even deeper, dark depths of the Boundary Sea.

Passive defense ends here.

Next, it should be his turn to take this group of "second-generation gods" to someone else's doorstep and properly "reason" with them.
