With a single move, millions from the Dead Spirit Army fell, staggered by such power, the crowd was dumbfounded, and their expression when looking at Lin Qian changed, greatly altering their impression of him.
The Renhuang Martial Emperor, their emperor, had such formidable strength.
The Dead Spirit Army, which they had been struggling against, was wiped out in a single move, showcasing a combat power beyond their imagination.
Looking at the remnants on the ground, Lin Qian's face was expressionless. He then turned to face the allied army, "I assume this is the first time for some of you to see me."
Lin Qian's voice instantly captured everyone's attention. They looked toward him and listened closely, eager to hear what he would say next.
Seeing that he had the crowd's attention, Lin Qian took a deep breath and solemnly spoke to them, "Now that I have returned, the counterattack of the Huaxia Empire begins now. I assure you, from now on, you will no longer have to live a life of fear."
"The Huaxia Empire will be your greatest assurance, your most powerful support."
As he said this, Lin Qian suddenly looked up towards the sky, as if his gaze could penetrate the dense death energy above and beyond the heavy curtains.
"Black Demon, I have something to tell you," Lin Qian's voice thundered, resonating throughout the Soul Martial Continent, even reaching beyond its bounds into the external void, making sure the other heard him clearly. N$e+e#d c&h#a$r-a$c.te&r^ s.he&e.ts$ and g#l+os#sa&r!ie+s?^ V+i*sit^ M^V^LEM&^PY&R+.-
"Your so-called Dead Spirit Army will all be utterly crushed by me, and I will completely annihilate you to avenge those who died innocently. I do as I say!"
Now as the Earth Spirit Master and the ruler of the entire Soul Martial Continent, it was effortless for Lin Qian to project his voice across the continent.
Furthermore, the imperial might inherent in Lin Qian's voice had a restraining and suppressing effect on the death energy itself.
As his voice spread, so did his aura, activating the Huaxia World Array, which erupted across the whole continent in a golden veil.
The previously death-filled Soul Martial Continent gradually began regaining its vitality of old, and every living being on the continent could feel as if their bodies contained boundless power.
In the external void, the Black Demon still sat on his small asteroid, staring intently at the Soul Martial Continent below, his fists clenched tightly.
Even if Lin Qian had entered the Saint Realm, he should not have been able to spread his voice across the entire Soul Martial Continent.
Initially, it was only possible with the help of his own death energy so that every creature on the continent knew of their conversation.
But now, Lin Qian could do it on his own strength, and he had realized why.
There was only one possibility: Lin Qian had become the Earth Spirit Master and obtained this fragment.
Despite this guess, the Black Demon couldn't believe that a mere mortal was capable of this feat; it seemed impossible.
"Since you want to play, then this lord shall accompany you to the very end," the Black Demon muttered, still fixated on the Soul Martial Continent, Lin Qian's voice echoing in his ears, making him grind his teeth in anger.
"That's the voice of his Majesty."
"The Renhuang Martial Emperor has finally returned, now we no longer need to worry about the Dead Spirit Army."
"Hahaha, his Majesty has returned, we no longer need to worry."
At this moment, after hearing Lin Qian's voice, the Huaxia people in the Southern Domain of the Huaxia Empire erupted in excited shouts. In their hearts, their emperor was omnipotent, and there was hardly anything that could stymie him.
One crucial point was that during the emperor's presence, the Huaxia Empire had never lost.
While the Huaxia Empire had faced many defeats during their ongoing battles with the Dead Spirit Army when the emperor was in seclusion, the outcomes were different.
After emerging from seclusion, Lin Qian naturally learned about the situation and took the Empire's failures in stride.
This world was no longer like a game; it was real.
In his previous life's game, he could win by spending money, but that method clearly did not exist in this world.
However, Lin Qian was not afraid of defeat. Moreover, minor battle losses did not matter much; the true invincibility lay in the spirit.
Next, Lin Qian's first action was to return to the imperial palace of the Huaxia Empire to start coordinating subsequent plans.
Seeing Lin Qian safely returned, Yun Yunyan also felt relieved. In truth, she knew her son's seclusion was not as simple as it seemed.
She had seen it in Ye Xin's expression but had never asked about it at crucial moments to avoid distracting her. She had only prayed silently.
After returning to the imperial palace of the Huaxia Empire, Lin Qian immediately ordered everyone to continue their duties without any changes, promising that powerful reinforcements would soon arrive.
According to Lin Qian, these reinforcements were a secretly trained army that had always been in the ancient ruins of the Ancient Empire, hidden from the world.
Previously, the powerful Ancient Empire of the Huaxia had always lived in that hidden space, and now was the time for them to emerge.
Regarding this, the crowd was unsurprised. In fact, they had speculated that the Huaxia Empire's army might have always lived within the ruins.
After all, Lin Qian had mentioned that he had obtained the legacy of the Huaxia Empire there.
After giving orders, Lin Qian began mobilizing troops and resources from Xuanhuan Star, and he asked Zhuge Ming, "How's the Puppet Project proceeding?"
"Your Majesty, the Puppet Project is completely finished," Zhuge Ming responded, "only limited by the materials and technology not being fully developed, so only one corps-level individual can use a puppet body to be by your side."
"And, because the materials for the puppet body are only available in your world, even with our materials, the strength is limited, not even a ten-thousandth of its full potential."
"That will be enough. Prepare it for tuning; we might need it later," Lin Qian nodded to his words and replied.
Hearing his Majesty's instructions, Zhuge Ming nodded repeatedly, then came back to his senses and asked, "But your Majesty, who shall come forth when the time comes?"
"I have someone in mind already."
