Now, with the massive forces of the Divine Martial Dynasty pressing the borders, about half of the 373 prefectures formerly under the control of the Guiyuan Dynasty have already fallen.
Let the whole world witness the strength of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Even without Gu Qingfeng appearing, the power exhibited by the Divine Martial Dynasty was quite astonishing.
Strong as the Guiyuan Dynasty is, it has had to retreat step by step.
Moonlight Prefecture.
Massive forces pressing the border.
On the Guiyuan Dynasty’s side, Emperor Han personally led the campaign to boost morale.
In the Divine Martial Camp.
Shi Zhen and other military generals gathered here.
"Now that Emperor Han is personally leading the campaign, though he is only a Semi-Saint, if he uses all his cards, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with a Saint!"
"If we do not suppress Emperor Han, the outcome of this battle might not be decided!"
Jiang Mo’s expression was somber.
The location of Moonlight Prefecture is crucial, a key prefecture of the Guiyuan Dynasty.
If we can take Moonlight Prefecture, our army can truly advance unimpeded, without any obstacle.
If we cannot take Moonlight Prefecture, even if our side detours, we could easily be attacked from both front and back.
But now, with Emperor Han personally leading the campaign.
The opponent himself is a powerful figure in the Semi-Saint Realm.
If he mobilizes the dynasty’s qi fortune, it’s as if he becomes a Saint.
Even though our Divine Martial Dynasty has the Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!
The God Slaying Spear is undeniably powerful.
But to fully harness the power of the Great Saint Weapon is no easy task.
Such a supreme treasure.
At least requires the cultivation of a Saint.
Below the Saint Realm.
Only a fraction of the supreme treasure’s power can be activated.
Even using a blood sacrifice, it’s the same.
The Guiyuan Dynasty has its own foundational strength.
So when Jiang Mo finished speaking, everyone’s expressions became grim.
Because they knew clearly that Jiang Mo spoke the truth.
To take Moonlight Prefecture is no easy task.
"The biggest reliance of the Guiyuan Dynasty currently lies in its qi fortune. If we cannot suppress Emperor Han swiftly with thunderous might, then we will engage in a prolonged struggle.
At the same time, send agents to secretly infiltrate the Guiyuan Dynasty, incite public sentiment, and weaken its qi fortune.
When the qi fortune of the Guiyuan Dynasty declines enough, that will naturally be the moment for their demise!"
Shi Zhen’s eyes grew cold, quickly making a decision.
Since we cannot win head-to-head, we will use other tactics.
The strength of a dynasty’s qi fortune fundamentally rests on the people’s hearts.
As long as the people’s hearts no longer belong to the Guiyuan Dynasty, how much qi fortune can Emperor Han still tap into?
It will be the time for their end.
With Emperor Han dead.
The Guiyuan Dynasty will no longer be able to block our path.
Hearing Shi Zhen’s words, the others glanced at each other, seeing some subtle emotions in each other’s eyes.
If there is no other way, then it must be done this way.
However, doing so might cost many soldiers’ lives.
War has never been without casualties.
Even now, as the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army marches victoriously, many have died on the battlefield.
A guard entered from outside.
"Reporting to the general, Institute Envoy Chu Daoxuan and several Tributes have come to pay respects!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhen’s expression turned slightly blank, then immediately joyful.
"Quickly invite them in!"
Shi Zhen was well aware of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s addition of a Tribute Institute.
Moreover, there was news from the court that experts from the Tribute Institute would come to aid in the army’s attacks on the Guiyuan Dynasty.
However, Shi Zhen did not expect the people from the Tribute Institute to arrive so quickly.
Chu Daoxuan and several Tributes entered.
"Chu Daoxuan greets General Shi!"
"Institute Envoy Chu, there’s no need for such politeness!"
Shi Zhen promptly stood up to return the greeting.
The position of Tribute Institute was somewhat transcendent; though it had no official grade, Shi Zhen dared not show the slightest disrespect.
Especially Chu Daoxuan before him, a strong figure in the Semi-Saint Realm.
In the presence of such a powerful figure, Shi Zhen was particularly cautious.
"Greetings, Institute Envoy Chu!"
The others also cupped their hands in salutation.
Chu Daoxuan smiled back.
The few of them took their seats.
Chu Daoxuan then directly asked: "I am here under the orders of the Emperor to assist the army in attacking the Guiyuan Imperial City. What is the current situation?"
"To inform Institute Envoy Chu, Emperor Han is personally leading the campaign. The morale on the Guiyuan Dynasty’s side is high, and our army is advancing with difficulty. We must proceed cautiously!"
Upon hearing Chu Daoxuan’s words, the smile on Shi Zhen’s face vanished, and his expression became serious again.
Chu Daoxuan and the other Tributes also became serious.
"The Emperor personally leading the campaign!"
"This indeed poses quite a challenge!"
He was naturally aware of what the Emperor personally leading a campaign signified.
Emperor Han was one of the top-tier powerhouses in the Eastern Domain.
With a cultivation in the Semi-Saint Realm, even the Chu Daoxuan of the past couldn’t be certain of defeating him.
Even now, with the incomplete Ancient Heavenly Blade, it’s still the same.
The foundation of a dynasty’s ruler is extraordinary.
If he also possesses the dynasty’s qi fortune, such an existence can rival a Saint.
In this situation, it’s understandable why the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army couldn’t proceed.
Shi Zhen said: "Although we have the Great Saint Weapon, its power is not something a cultivator of the Taoist Palace Realm can fully harness."
"There is a way to address this!"
Chu Daoxuan pondered briefly.
"If we use the blood sacrifice method and then personally step in, using our essence blood to activate it, we can greatly unleash the supreme treasure’s power.
