840: Thirty-six Celestial Swords and the White Bone Pagoda

“This is not appropriate…”

Zhuge Liang saw Qin Zheng’s intention and said hesitantly, “Your Majesty, Gu Qing is different from others. He might possess a powerful treasure and heaven-defying opportunities. We should proceed slowly.”

“I suggest we first negotiate peace with him, continue the marriage alliance between the Ninth Prince and his daughter, cooperate with the Boundless Divine Sect, silently seize the Boundless Divine Sect’s destiny, and secretly win over the hearts of the Boundless Divine Sect’s people. This is the best strategy.”

“I second that.”

“I second that.”

All the civil and military officials in the court agreed.

Because this was indeed the best and most brilliant method.

After all, they subconsciously believed that Gu Qing surely didn’t know the depths of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and even less could he know that by merely forming a marriage alliance with them, Qin Zheng could seize the Boundless Divine Sect’s destiny.

“No need for further discussion, I have made my decision.”

Qin Zheng spoke indifferently, a domineering imperial aura emanating from him, like a peerless emperor who was the sole ruler.

Anyone who dared to kill his people, even if it were the King of Heaven, he would kill them.

“A mere Gu Qing is not worth my attention. Issue an order to the Bounty Hunter Hall to send everyone out to hunt down people from the Boundless Divine Sect and the Star God Sect.”

“Order Hao’er to blockade the Boundless Divine Sect. Not even a fly is allowed to escape.”

“Order Lü Bu to immediately attack the Star God Sect.”

“Order Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao to lead a large army to attack the Boundless Divine Sect.”

“Order…”

Qin Zheng issued more than a dozen orders in one breath, all targeting the two sects.

Of course, he didn’t expect these armies to break through the Boundless Divine Sect, but with a massive army pressing down, Gu Qing shouldn't remain indifferent, right?

All he wanted was to lure Gu Qing out, and then take the opportunity to eliminate Gu Qing… In the Limitless Mountain Range, tens of millions of cultivators’ army were stationed, forming an army with sky-high killing intent, blockading the gate of the Boundless Divine Sect.

The gate of the Boundless Divine Sect, resembling the Southern Heavenly Gate, saw countless auspicious clouds drifting out, and many beautiful goddesses, with their immortal robes fluttering, revealed killing intent in their eyes.

“Who goes there? I am the peerless fierce general, Xing Daorong!”

Seeing the women of the Boundless Divine Sect appear, everyone was overjoyed.

A burly man rode out, shouting loudly.

He wore armor, was stout and muscular, with eyes like brass bells. One could tell at a glance that he was a fierce general.

Whoosh!

No one answered his question. Thirty-six cold, gleaming flying swords shot out, instantly dismembering Xing Daorong and his horse into nothingness.

“How dare you!”

In the military camp, seeing Xing Daorong fall, everyone was furious.

They never expected Xian'er to be so ruthless, killing someone without a word.

Although Xing Daorong was not much among the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty's military generals, he was still a Celestial, representing the face of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

Killing Xing Daorong was a slap in the face to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and would inevitably lead to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s frenzied retaliation, a fight to the death.

The Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s generals and soldiers were filled with rage.

“Seeking death…”

The Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty's expression turned cold. He crushed the wine cup in his hand, his eyes burning with fury.

Originally, considering Xian'er's talent and status, he had intended to give her the title of a secondary consort. But now, he had decided that once his father's grand plan was complete, he would execute Xian'er.

Killing a general of his Great Qin Immortal Dynasty demanded blood for blood.

Xian'er was unaware of these people's fantasies. She continued to use the thirty-six flying swords without stopping, and then charged into a cavalry unit of ten thousand.

The thirty-six flying swords were all refined from the teeth of a Five Elements Chaos Source Beast, and the Starry Sacred Mother had infused a lot of magical power, allowing Xian'er to fully unleash the power of the Celestial River Sword Formation.

As soon as the Celestial River Swords appeared, they formed the Thirty-Six Celestial River Sword Formation, like a world of swords, erupting with infinite sword light.

These Divine Emperor cultivators’ army couldn't even withstand a single sword light and were instantly annihilated into dust.

Xian'er then conjured a White Bone Pagoda. The pagoda grew against the wind, manifesting countless illusory worlds, like a towering divine pagoda piercing through numerous great worlds, its divine might vast and boundless, crashing towards the army formation.

With a booming sound, the heavens and earth collapsed, and tens of millions of cultivators were killed by the shock, blood oozing from their mouths and noses. However, they managed to withstand it, and the army formation was not broken in a single blow.

“A mid-tier Chaotic Spiritual Treasure containing the magical power of a Dao Sovereign!!!”

In the central command tent, everyone’s pupils constricted, and their hearts were filled with terror.

One must know that their army formation, formed by tens of millions of soldiers, could withstand a full-power attack from a Dao Sovereign.

But now, it had almost failed to withstand a divine pagoda imbued with the magical power of a Dao Sovereign.

This White Bone Pagoda and the person who infused it with magical power were simply too terrifying.

“Quick, quickly go and preside over the army formation.”

Qin Hao's face changed in horror, and he ordered the generals to enter the core of the army formation to stabilize it.

If Xian'er were to strike twice more, the entire army formation would collapse.

At that time, tens of millions of soldiers, including him, would be wiped out in one move.

After all, their strength lay in the army formation, not in individuals. Tens of millions of soldiers, countless Divine Kings, Divine Emperors, and Saints, seemed very strong, but facing Celestials and Master Gods, no matter how many people there were, they could not compensate for the crushing difference in realm.

“Mighty old…”

“Hmph!”

Xian'er snorted coldly. Before these ants could finish their slogan, she controlled the White Bone Pagoda and the thirty-six flying swords to continue her assault.

The White Bone Pagoda, carrying boundless and vast divine power, descended from the sky. It seemed even space-time could not withstand its immense divine power; wherever the White Bone Pagoda passed, space-time collapsed.

The thirty-six flying swords, meanwhile, encompassed this entire heaven and earth, giving rise to endless sword qi, forming nine mighty rivers of swords, like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens.

Rumble!

Han Xin, a Master God of the first realm, personally presided over the core of the army formation, summoning a divine demon army soul with monstrous murderous aura.

The divine demon army soul raised its divine axe and cleaved towards the White Bone Pagoda.

The moment the White Bone Pagoda was cleaved away, the army soul was also shattered by the White Bone Pagoda. With the army soul shattered, the army formation also collapsed with a roar.

Countless soldiers died from the backlash of the army formation, their divine bodies exploding, and their divine souls annihilated.

Only a few Saints and Celestials survived, but they also suffered severe Dao injuries.

Han Xin was also in a terrible state; both his body and divine soul exploded. He was the core of the army formation, bearing the backlash of the army formation and the impact of most of the White Bone Pagoda's divine power.

The moment he reassembled his physical body, Han Xin wanted to tear through the Celestial River Sword Formation with Qin Hao and leave.

With a sweep of his divine sense, despair appeared in Han Xin's eyes.

He couldn't even find the formation barrier of the Celestial River Sword Formation, so how could he break the Thirty-Six Celestial River Sword Formation?

Looking at the nine rivers of sword qi coming towards him, he closed his eyes in despair.

Each of these sword qi contained the power of a Dao Sovereign; he couldn't even withstand one.

This was the gap in realms, different levels of power, like a dimensional strike.

“No…”

“How could this be…”

Qin Hao’s eyes were wide with rage, roaring in disbelief.

How could the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s invincible and indomitable army be so vulnerable?

His tens of millions of soldiers had once directly confronted Dao Sovereigns on the Origin Continent.

They could even fight a Dao Sovereign to a standstill.

But now, they couldn't even withstand a magical treasure imbued with the magical power of a Dao Sovereign.

Was this really a Dao Sovereign?

“Fake, fake, it’s all fake, it’s an illusion.”

Qin Hao roared, shaking his head frantically.

He felt that all of this was an illusion created by a cultivator.

His invincible, indomitable army, which had helped him achieve countless military exploits, could not possibly be so vulnerable.

Absolutely impossible.

But… but without breaking the army formation, the cultivator's illusion couldn't affect them at all.

Just as Qin Hao was lost in thought, the river of sword qi arrived. Qin Hao’s glabella split open, laws and order surged forth, and a large seal flew out.
