164: Po Jun Martial God Dharma Image

Ice Field Domain.

Outside Mysterious Ice realm wall.

Three million Yan Huang Army soldiers, their Aura like a rainbow, the flaming light burning on their armor forming a stark contrast with the surrounding ice and snow blizzard.

Inside the realm-sealing array, a thousand miles were frozen, and all things withered.

Outside the realm-sealing array, ice and snow melted, and flames shot into the sky.

"You, step forward and break the array. If you dare to flee, I will make you regret ever being alive."

Flame Breaker Army raised the Divine Blade, blazing with fiery light, in his hand. With a crack, he cut open the Restriction on Mammoth Elder's body.

"I wouldn't dare to flee, I wouldn't dare to flee. I sincerely pledge allegiance to Great Xia. Only under Your Majesty's governance can a desolate place like the Ice Field Domain truly flourish."

Mammoth Elder's smile was fawning. Along the way, he had come to understand that flattering the generals was useless and would only invite their cold gazes and Killing Intent. Changing his approach to praising His Majesty, the three main generals' attitudes towards him had improved significantly.

"Go. If you can't break the realm wall, Your Majesty won't tolerate you either."

Flame Breaker Army said indifferently.

"General, the realm wall is integrated with heaven and earth. It's truly impossible for me to do it alone."

Mammoth Elder saw Flame Breaker Army's eyes brimming with Killing Intent and quickly added, "I have a way to break open the realm wall, but I need the General's help..."

After hearing his plan, Flame Breaker Army nodded indifferently: "Permitted."

Mammoth Elder let out a slight sigh of relief. Under the gaze of the Floating Divine City's officials and three million Yan Huang Army soldiers, he flew towards the realm-sealing array. His Holy Land life token, representing his identity, resonated with the array, and his figure vanished in an instant.

The army's discipline was strict. Even after a long wait in the biting wind and snow, there was no complaint.

On the Floating Divine City, in the Nine-Fold Imperial Palace.

The heaven monitoring mirror projected the scene within the array.

"Your Majesty, letting him leave directly, won't it be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, allowing the Glacier Tribe to prepare, strengthen the array, and hinder our progress in reclaiming territory?"

A new official, selected and promoted from the common people, spoke cautiously.

Grand Chancellor Su glared at him, and the latter immediately fell silent.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The younger generation in court knows little about the Yan Huang Army..."

In Mystic Spirit's history, why was there only one unified Imperial Dynasty?

The realm walls of the former eight domains were ten or even a hundred times stronger than they are now. The strongest Imperial Dynasty could at most dominate one domain and fourteen prefectures.

Only the Yan Huang Army broke this shackles, sweeping across the eight domains and creating a precedent, so that for the past five thousand years, there have been no realm walls in Mystic Spirit.

Xia Xuan didn't pay much attention to the small interlude in the Imperial Palace, his gaze fixed on the projected image.

Ice Field Domain, border.

After Mammoth Elder flew out of the realm wall, he looked back with lingering fear, his expression slightly conflicted.

Now that he had returned to the Ice Field Domain, logically speaking, he was free as a bird in the sky.

Even if the Spirit Emperor sent people to hunt him down, as long as he sealed his Aura and hid in an uninhabited glacier, no one would find him.

Moreover, there was this increasingly reinforced realm wall, blocking the Great Xia's advance.

"After I return to the Ice Field Palace, I will still be one of the highest authorities, mobilizing the Glacier Tribe's army and the Holy Land's power. We might not be unable to keep the Great Xia's army out."

Mammoth Elder murmured. Any ruler in a position of power would be unwilling to be someone's dog. He had endured humiliation and finally had a chance to escape, so it was hard not to hesitate.

After much deliberation, Flame Breaker Army's indifferent eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Hidden beneath that indifference was a terrifying Killing Intent that had stepped over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, slain netherworld Yama Kings, and permeated his Soul. Being targeted by him was more terrifying than provoking the most violent and bloodthirsty Vicious Beast on the ice field.

After a struggle of thoughts, Mammoth Elder firmed his resolve and descended upon the nearest Glacier Tribe.

Divine Might swept through, and the people of the Glacier Tribe knelt, shouting, "Welcome, Holy Envoy."

"This year's Saint selection will be held early. The location is set at Mysterious Ice territory next to the realm wall. Quickly dispatch warriors from the tribe to go; there must be no delay."

After Mammoth Elder coldly dropped this statement, he rushed to the next location.

Among the many Glacier Tribes in the Ice Field Domain, there was a Saint selection every thirty years, where elites from each tribe would battle and compete to select a group of the most outstanding warriors to be sent to the Holy Land for cultivation.

This was an opportunity for small tribes to change their fate and for large tribes to improve their ranking. Each competition was exceptionally fierce.

If someone from a tribe could obtain a spot to enter the Holy Land, the entire tribe would fare very well for the next thirty years. Not only could they migrate to the core of the Ice Field Domain and receive the protection of the Holy Land and the royal family, but they could also receive a large amount of resources and rewards annually.

Mammoth Elder did not stop for a moment, notifying all the tribes around the realm wall, even expending precious secret treasures on his person to shift space and bring them to the realm wall.

In addition, he also opened up many Vicious Beast lairs, driving the Vicious Beasts to the realm wall.

Two hours passed. Shadows flickered within the realm wall, and Vicious Beasts, like a black tide, surged from all directions towards the Glacier Tribe warriors undergoing the test.

"The Holy Land is under strict martial law. This selection will be simplified. Kill all these Vicious Beasts, and those who survive will enter the next round."

Mammoth Elder's booming voice spread across the ice field. Even he himself was fighting several Vicious Beast Kings.

The Glacier Tribe warriors had powerful physiques and abundant fighting spirit, having long adapted to the harsh environment.

They should have fought desperately for their tribe, but when they saw the boundless army of Vicious Beasts, everyone felt somewhat despairing, yet they had no retreat.

The bloody slaughter thus unfolded, with new Glacier Tribe reinforcements continuously arriving.

Blood was spilled on the ice field, briefly releasing heat before quickly turning into chunks of bloody ice shards.

Blood-soaked Vicious Beasts and Glacier Tribe warriors died in the wind and snow, instantly turning into ice sculptures.

Seeing that the effect of shaking the realm wall was not ideal, Mammoth Elder, after dealing with several Vicious Beast Kings, personally entered the fray, slaughtering frantically. As the agreed-upon day was about to pass, he didn't hesitate to overdraw his Origin to speed up.

Finally, blood sculptures were shattered by terrifying Evil Qi, Vicious Beast corpses piled up like mountains, and the vast, ocean-like blood Evil Qi even resisted the blizzard.

He took out a cluster of Divine Fire and ignited the mountains of corpses on the ice field. Blood flames instantly shot into the sky, shaking the firmament and burning the light on the realm wall, making it much dimmer.

On the other side, Flame Breaker Army, who had waited for a long time with his soldiers, continuing the military momentum, sensed the abnormality of the Mysterious Ice realm wall. He looked up, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Boom!

A million Yan Huang Army soldiers' Qi surged through their bodies, their blood Qi flames like Dragons, coiling around the War God dharma idol of Pojun displayed behind Flame Breaker Army.

Flame runes flickered, the War God glared, drew his battle saber, and a million Yan Huang Army soldiers simultaneously made a forward striking motion.

The saber light cut out, like a God King's single strike, flames surging to the sky, leveling the wind and snow, fiercely striking the Mysterious Ice realm wall.

Boom!!!

Deafening explosions accompanied by crisp shattering sounds. The smooth, mirror-like Mysterious Ice realm wall cracked like a spiderweb. The location of the saber light was even melted into a terrifying gully, the flame light unextinguished, causing the surrounding realm wall to burst open.
