Chapter 118: Chapter 118 King of Devouring_1
This is a mutually beneficial cycle.
In fact, Chai Ning's visit here is partly due to seeing Chu Yuan's potential, and partly because the business of the Universe Company has been severely squeezed out by the Infinite Company in recent years, occupying only a tenth or so of the business in the Suspended Realm.
The appearance of Spirit Grain has made them keenly aware that this is an opportunity.
"Your Majesty is a unique hero, indeed, it's pleasant to trade with you."
Chai Ning had a smile on his face, knowing that Spirit Grain would definitely be snapped up no matter where it was sold in any Imperial Dynasty. Moreover, when the two of them talked business, they both adopted a mutually beneficial attitude, not caring about minor details.
"Mutual benefit and win-win." Chu Yuan said, "President Chai, you are also welcome to join me in Dawu for dinner tonight."
"Then, I shall accept your kind offer."
What Chai Ning wanted was not food, but to build relationship with Chu Yuan.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"
At this point, Eunch Wei rushed over with a letter in his hand.
Chu Yuan opened the letter and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Seeing this, Chai Ning said, "I observed on my way here that Dawu is prospering and thriving, it's an era of prosperity, how can there be any urgent military situation? If there's anything inconvenient, I'll excuse myself first."
"It's not really a secret." Chu Yuan said, "My scouts discovered today that two million troops of the Black Ming Dynasty are heading straight for Qianzhou and will arrive in about ten days. Forces along the way are making way for them, trying to open a breach for the Black Ming empire to advance into my Dawu and establish a frontline base."
"The Black Ming Dynasty!" exclaimed Chai Ning, "I know this dynasty, the ruler of Black Ming is ambitious and strong, and is definitely not weak among the Three Star dynasty. Does your majesty know who is leading the army this time?"
"Seems to be someone called Zhong Han." answered Chu Yuan.
"Zhong Han? I know him!" Chai Ning's face changed, "This Zhong Han is a general of the Black Ming Dynasty, a mature god with a close relationship with the ruler of Black Ming. He also has another title - the Bloody Butcherer. Every time he conquers a city, he slaughters profusely and terrifies neighboring countries. Your Majesty, this is troublesome.
His two million soldiers are all elite troops, capable of overpowering five or even ten opponents."
"The Bloody Butcherer?" Chu Yuan sneered, "I'm going to let him die here!"
"Your Majesty, you can't be careless. My Universe Company also has a branch in the Black Ming Dynasty. How about I mediate? I can talk to the ruler of Black Ming and convince him to withdraw his troops out of respect for our Universe Company. I believe we can reach a friendly relation."
Chai Ning didn't want to establish a new branch of the Universe Company in Dawu and immediately face the army of Black Ming.
He also slightly knows that the major reason Black Ming empire wants to go to war is because of the Great Qian Dynasty. After all, the ruler of Black Ming is extremely protective and wouldn't let any slight go unanswered.
[Option one; Accept Chai Ning's suggestion, ask the Universe Company to mediate and avoid the war, get 300 Destiny Points, Eastern Taibai Real Gold x1.]
[Option two: Whoever offends my Dawu, will be punished no matter how far they fled. Attack the Black Ming Dynasty's vanguard, get 300 Destiny Points, Divine Ability Fruit x1.]
"President Chai, I appreciate your good intentions, but I can't back down. I wonder if you've heard this saying - whoever offends my Dawu, will be punished no matter how far they have fled. If the Black Ming Dynasty dares to come, I'll dare to wipe them out!"
Chu Yuan said coldly, "I will annihilate my enemy outside my territory."
"Any who offend my Dawu, will be punished!" Chai Ning was taken aback, "Your Majesty, do you need my help with anything?"
"If President Chai has time, why not accompany me to see how my army battles with the Black Ming Dynasty." said Chu Yuan.
"Fights between countries are the most fierce, especially this time with Zhong Han leading the troops. I am indeed interested."
Chai Ning didn't refuse. Although he had heard that the Dawu is very powerful, he had never actually seen it.
"Ding! Host made Option Two; received 300 Destiny Points, and a Divine Ability Fruit x1."
Divine Ability Fruit: A special fruit condensed by supreme divine power in the Primordial River, extremely precious. Consuming Divine Ability Fruit allows for a deeper understanding of a previously learned Divine Ability.
"Choose a Divine Ability?"
Chu Yuan looked at the tiny fruit in his hand, which was glowing with radiant light.
"Although I have mastered many Divine Abilities, the Large-scale Devouring Technique is the most useful to me, as it's related to cultivation."
Chu Yuan chose the Large-scale Devouring Technique and ate the Divine Abilities fruit.
Comprehending Large-scale Devouring Technique…
Advancing Large-scale Devouring Technique…
The first reaction after eating the Divine Abilities fruit, Chu Yuan felt as if his soul had reached a long river. Within this river was not water, but rather like the origin long river formed by the Large-scale Devouring Technique, an energy long river.
A surge of comprehension was instilled into him.
It felt as if a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like just an instant.
Chu Yuan woke up and found that only a few breaths had passed in reality.
Large-scale Devouring Technique: One of the Three Thousand Divine Abilities.
All things in the world have their origin. When cultivating the Large-scale Devouring Technique, everything can be devoured. Devouring the source of everything, one can become a great devouring body.
"Ding! Host's title upgraded, receive the King of Devouring!"
[King of Devouring, the evolved version of the Son of Devouring, with increased devouring speed and the capability to store devoured energy, condensing it into energy fruits.]
"I've upgraded to the King of Devouring."
Chu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
The King of Devouring was far more powerful than the Son of Devouring, and it also had the ability to store energy.
Before, if Chu Yuan didn't quickly convert the energy he devoured into his own strength, it would dissipate between heaven and earth. Now, he could store it, transforming it into energy fruits.
At this moment, Chu Yuan gave the command to strike at the Imperial Dynasty of Black Abyss.
In this strike, he only chose the Divine Martial Army and the Wanxuan Army of the Fire Separation Army.
The Divine Martial Army was training in Qianzhou. The newly-formed Wanxuan Army received the command and quickly assembled towards Qianzhou.
Wanxuan Province is not far from Qianzhou, so they arrived in just a few days.
Qianzhou, Dragon City.
There was a huge enlistment square that could accommodate several million people.
Inside the square, two hundred and fifty thousand Divine Martial soldiers, each clad in pitch-black armor, stood upright like soldiers whose poles were standing on the ground. The intimidating aura they emitted directly rushed to the galaxy, as sharp as a blade, which made people lose their courage.
The Wanxuan Army had only been formed for a short while and now had one and a half million men.
Their armor was mainly black, but some red was added to distinguish them from the Divine Martial Army.
These one hundred and fifty thousand were mostly recruited from the two provinces of Wanxuan and Cangnan. Many of them were previously strong members of the clan.
"So terrifying. Is that the Divine Martial Army? Each of the two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers is an expert above the Original Spirit Realm. Their aura seems to be connected, giving me a shock. Establishing an Original Spirit Army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the elite of the elites. Probably only four or five-star Imperial Dynasties have the ability to do this."
Chai Ning came to watch the show this time, following Chu Yuan.
Seeing the Divine Martial Army, whose minimum strength was at the Original Spirit Realm, he was also shocked in his heart, and had a higher regard for Dawu.
Originally, there were many Soul-Smithing experts mixed in the Divine Martial Army but during this period Chu Yuan refined a large number of pills and also got the treasure of the underground ancient city, and upgraded their strength to the Original Spirit Realm.
Even if the twenty-five thousand Original Spirit Army strikes, even Gods can't stop them.
And the soldiers of the Wanxuan Army of the Fire Separation Army were also robust; during this period, they were all eating Lingyuan Rice, could take pills every day, and there was an uncountable number of them who emerged as strong fighters.
"I thought that the two clans of Wanxuan and Cangnan had surrendered to Dawu under duress, but I didn't expect that they had completely integrated into Dawu. They've even disbanded their clans to form an army."
Of course, Chai Ning knew that Chu Yuan had brought him along to witness the strength of Dawu so they could trade more effectively in the future.
