Chapter 186: 186: Chaos in One Territory_1
At this moment, the strongest of the Great Wu Dynasty were gathered in Chu Yuan's Divine Martial Hall.
The unexpected news took them, including Chu Yuan, by surprise.
They had all been preparing for war against the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, but who could have anticipated, out of the sudden, an even more powerful force attacked the Suspended Imperial Dynasty.
And with the strength of the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, they were woefully falling into a retreat.
"Apart from this, as many as twenty to thirty three-star Imperial Dynasties have been annihilated, and the Four-star Cang Imperial Dynasty suffered massive casualties, including several occupants of the God Position.
The Cang Sovereign who possessed a four-layered God Position died in battle, with his divine rules being extracted, and all other powerful beings like the God Spirit and others were all slaughtered."
Lu Qianfu reported with a grave expression, "Every place they pass, they obliterate a nation and kill all the strong."
"From the looks of it, this force isn't just targeting the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, but all forces in the Suspended Realm."
Chu Yuan analyzed the various reports brought forward.
From Lu Qianfu and the others' reports, this group was definitely not a scattered force, but rather a terrifyingly large and powerful army.
"Do we know any more specific information?" Chu Yuan asked.
"They call themselves the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty." Lu Qianfu said: "Their numbers are over a hundred million, but each one is a formidable figure above the Primordial Spirit."
"The Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty?" Chu Yuan paused for a moment, "They are not from the Suspended Realm, but rather from other regions in the Eternal World. They leave nothing in their path, extracting the Rules of God Position, and Primordial Spirits. Indeed ruthless."
"Moreover, they are all composed of Primordial Spirits. This level of power is only recorded in ancient books about old dynasties, yet this is probably just one of their legions!"
"Due to the emergence of the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, the entire Suspended Realm is shrouded in chaos. With nations extinguished, refugees are fleeing everywhere. Even though the Demon Abyss army is still far from us, the Great Wu Dynasty, and is currently focusing its attack on the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, it will only be a matter of time before they come here."
This said Lu Qianfu.
The location of the Great Wu is just at the corner of the Suspended Realm, one side is blocked by the Beast Mountain Range, with no powerful force in its vicinity. The dynasties that were annihilated earlier, most of them were near the ocean on the other side.
[Choice 1: In the midst of the chaos, seize the opportunity to expand, take the initiative to deploy troops, win over the people's hearts, strengthen the dynasty, and obtain 300 Destiny Points, and one five-Element Spirit Root of Earth Spirit Root.]
[Choice 2: Defend the Great Wu homeland with all strength, prepare to abandon land, move to overseas, and obtain 300 Destiny Points, and a Xuanwu Divine Shield.]
"Although my Great Wu hasn't been attacked by the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty yet, the war is inevitable. We cannot just hope that the Suspended Imperial Dynasty and the Demon Abyss Imperial dynasty would exhaust each other, we have to take the initiative."
Chu Yuan slowly said: "The Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty isn't just targeting one nation, it's challenging an entire domain. No one can stay uninvolved. Now that many of the Suspended Realm's dynasties have been wiped out, with countless citizens homeless and fleeing in all directions, it is a good opportunity for us to strengthen the Great Wu empire.
Be prepared, rally against the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, set up a flag. With the many nations that have been destroyed, there must be many strong people who hate the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty. Rally the flag, win people's hearts, it is the time to enhance our prestige."
Even though the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty was causing killings everywhere, Chu Yuan also saw it as a great opportunity.
Initially, he would have had to face the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, and even all of the dynasties in the Suspended Realm, if he wanted to become the sovereign. Now, he simply changed his target to the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, an army known for its conquests and killings.
With many nations now destroyed, and even potentates of the God Position Realm killed, it was a prime opportunity for Chu Yuan to increase the population of his domain.
Previously, he was racking his brain trying to increase the population of Great Wu to five hundred billion to release the seal on the Emperor's Sword.
He also wanted prestige.
To advance his dynasty to Five Stars, besides having enough strength and national power, he also needed recognition from others. He couldn't just declare himself a Five-star.
Now, this was a perfect opportunity.
Those imperial dynasties were destroyed, and a large number of people fled. If Chu Yuan provided them with a place of refuge, he could easily win over the hearts of the people.
Of course, doing so would also draw the attention of the Demon Abyss imperial dynasty towards Dawu.
But being targeted was inevitable, Chu Yuan's imperial dynasty was situated within the suspended realm, where could they possibly run to?
Unless he abandoned his own kingdom, escaped to the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts, or found an island in the sea.
"Xuanming Departure Bird, Senluo Iron Rhinos, you two powerful tribes, cooperate with the Divine Martial Army and the Five Elements Army. Now the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty is attacking the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, and the Dawu territory that is closest to the Suspended Imperial Dynasty is precisely Xizhou.
There we need to station a large amount of troops for defense, to guard against the invasion of the Demon Abyss."
Chu Yuan quickly issued orders.
Fortunately, because of the battle with the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, the whole of Dawu was in a state of war readiness, and various military orders were executed orderly.
"Ding! The host makes choice one, earning 300 Destiny Points, and Five Element Roots of Earth x1."
Five Elements Roots of Earth: A worldly root formed by the condensation of earth attributes. It contains the power of the earth, which can autonomously absorb earth elements, accelerate the convergence of earth elements, and even absorb enough earth elements to evolve a star.
Upon seeing the introduction of the Earth Root, which seemed somewhat similar to the Thick Earth Gathering Spirit Flag, Chu Yuan knew that it would actually be the most suitable match with the Thick Earth Gathering Spirit Flag.
At this moment, the whole of Dawu was operating at high speed.
Even though their opponent had switched to the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, no one let their guard down; this Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty was even more terrifying than the Suspended Imperial Dynasty.
Just as expected, this Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty had attacked the Suspended Imperial City just one month after appearing in the suspended realm.
The Suspended Imperial Dynasty also gave up its other territories, concentrating all its strength inside the Imperial City, preparing to fight a death battle with the Demon Abyss army.
Chu Yuan's arrangement was not wrong.
When the Demon Abyss army attacked the Suspended Imperial City, a large army also appeared around Xizhou.
They were evidently aware of the Suspended Imperial Dynasty's earlier hectic preparations for battle, and their target for conquest was precisely Chu Yuan's Great Wu Dynasty.
However, Chu Yuan already deployed strong warriors and large armies in Xizhou. As soon as the Demon Abyss Army appeared, they immediately started fighting and killing.
This Demon Abyss Army was truly terrifying, fighting a death battle with the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, while also being able to send out troops to destroy other countries.
Many survivors from the destroyed nations fled to Chu Yuan's side upon hearing that he was resisting the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty.
Many imperial dynasties within the suspended realm had been in disputes with each other before, but now, with the arrival of the Demon Abyss Imperial Dynasty, they seemed to have become a united entity.
On Chu Yuan's side, there was no shortage of supplies. There was so much spirit grain piled up in his treasury that he let the six ministries provide aid to those displaced people, turning these populations into citizens of Dawu.
As for the powerful people who pledged their allegiance, they would only receive good treatment if they joined the Dawu army.
"The Dachang Imperial Dynasty is also about to be destroyed."
Chu Yuan looked at a piece of intelligence. The Demon Abyss army had invaded the territory of the Dachang Imperial Dynasty, and was already at the gates of the Imperial City. Many powerful figures in the entire Dachang Imperial Dynasty had been slaughtered.
If the Dachang Imperial Dynasty was destroyed, the Dachang emperor would undoubtedly die.
Moreover, once Dachang was destroyed, as long as they broke through a dozen two- and three-star imperial dynasties, the territories Chu Yuan had conquered earlier would also be affected.
"To not give full effort to destroy the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, but intend to destroy all the imperial dynasties in the suspended domain simultaneously?"
Chu Yuan crushed the intelligence report into fragments and coldly said, "Rather than sitting by and watching the Dachang Imperial Dynasty being destroyed by you, and have the war reach my territory, I will take action first, killing you one by one. Furthermore, the Dachang Emperor has taken my healing potion, so you can't take his life!"
