The Great Han and Tianyue were separated by hundreds of millions of miles. Even the closest Qilin and Azure Dragon Legions had to cross the territory of the Human Emperor Hall. It was all too late.
Tianyuetingkong had fallen into the Imperial Dynasty's secret treasury. The territory of an entire imperial dynasty was now without its guardian cornerstone. The call for help had been issued from Tianyue, and even if experts in the Fusion Heaven Realm traveled non-stop, it would take two days to reach the Great Han. In two days, Tianyue would be annihilated.
Think of the Human Emperor Hall. A million-strong army and a dozen top-tier Fusion Heaven Realm elders could not hold out for three days.
How could Tianyue possibly survive the invasion of the Blood Python army!
"Your Majesty, our army will not reach Tianyue in time!"
Fang Xuanling looked at the call for help in Mao Xiang's hand and couldn't help but shake his head. To submit to the Ten Elders, only to suffer such a fate, was tragic.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Si frowned, "The northern border of the Southwest Region is in turmoil, and the situation is unstable. Tianyue's destruction will only take two days. To the northeast, Weiyang is also in a critical situation. Your Majesty, our Great Han..."
Yang Hao immediately looked up at the frowning Li Si, his expression turning solemn. The defenses of the human race's territories were collapsing one after another, and the human race's lands in the Southwest Region were in peril.
The internal conflicts between the Great Han, the Ten Elders, and the various imperial dynasties were one thing. No matter what, Yang Hao did not want to occupy the Southwest Region, where less than one-tenth of the population remained!
"Issue an edict!"
Yang Hao ordered without hesitation!
Li Si quickly unfurled a yellow scroll.
"Order Zhang Liao to lead the Vermillion Bird Legion to enter Great Yan and attack the Heaven-Devouring Greedy Wolf army!"
"Order Gao Ying to lead the Gluttonous Legion, heading directly north, to enter the Cangmu Imperial Dynasty and intercept the Flaming Rhinoceros and Blood Python armies within the Cangmu Imperial Dynasty!"
"Order Qi Jiguang to lead the Kui Niu Legion to enter the Tianyue and Weiyang Imperial Dynasties, attacking the Blood Python and Iron Lion armies!"
...
Tianyue Imperial Dynasty.
At this moment, the capital was swept by a cold wind, shrouded in blood mist. Vast architectural complexes lay prostrate on the ground, devoid of any bustling crowds.
From ten miles outside the city gates, stretching all the way to the imperial palace, the ground was littered with bloody human bones and remains, with traces of flesh still clinging to them.
Along the way, the Blood Python army, with their Bloodthirsty Spears strapped to their backs, captured fleeing humans with their bare hands. Some flayed them alive; others roasted them over fires; some directly peeled off their clothes and threw them into pots to cook.
On the imperial palace square, the Blood Python army had erected eight tall cauldrons, with human heads tumbling in the boiling water.
At this point, only the imperial palace hall remained of the Tianyue Imperial Dynasty. The Tianyue Human Emperor, covered in blood, stared at the scene on the square.
His eyes were filled with terror, and the arm holding his long sword trembled faintly. He looked at the scene in horror.
This was no imperial dynasty, but a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In those eight tall cauldrons, were the royal bloodlines of his Tianyue.
He was the only survivor of the Tianyue lineage!
"Screech!"
The commander of the Blood Python army, an elder of the Blood Python tribe—Xue You—stepped onto the steps, holding his Bloodthirsty Spear. Since leading his troops into the Southwest Region, he had not had the chance to eat a Fusion Heaven Realm human.
His own tribe's leader had already captured several top-tier Fusion Heaven Realm humans, making him incredibly greedy. The higher the cultivation level of a human warrior, the more vigorous their blood and qi, and the more delicious their flesh.
"You... you..."
"Your Maolin tribe, uncultivated, dares to set foot on the sacred land of our imperial dynasty!"
A military general standing beside the Tianyue Human Emperor roared in fury. If he took another step forward, the Human Emperor's life would be in peril.
"Kill!"
He leaped forward, holding his spear, and thrust it towards Xue You.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort, like the agitation of clouds. The fluctuation of elemental energy contained a terrifying will, the supreme might of the Tongtian Realm, pressing down on all sides!
The elemental energy erupted, capable of beheading ants below the Heaven-Shaping Realm!
"No!"
The general's spear shattered directly. His entire body seemed to be controlled by space, motionless in the void. Slowly, his body began to emit wisps of blood mist, as if being torn apart by an immense force.
"Human Emperor... Human Emperor!"
Before his death, he still tried to look back at his Emperor. As a subject, he had sworn to protect his Human Emperor. His duty was fulfilled, and he had not disgraced the imperial dynasty!
"Bang!"
He roared at the Tianyue Human Emperor and then shattered in the void. Streams of blood mist poured down, falling onto Xue You. Nourished by the blood, his aura exploded, and his eyes also glowed with red blood-light.
"Ah!!"
The death of the general completely shattered the Tianyue Human Emperor. He knelt on his knees and roared to the sky, "Why?"
"Why?"
"Since I ascended to the throne, I have committed no meritorious deeds, but also no mistakes!"
"Why?"
"Why does Heaven wish to destroy my Tianyue!"
"Why does Heaven wish to destroy my Tianyue!"
"Human Emperor!"
"Human Emperor!"
Beside the Tianyue Human Emperor, only a few officials remained. They were grief-stricken, prostrated on the ground, and wailed.
"Tianyue Imperial Dynasty!"
"Where are you!"
The Tianyue Human Emperor immediately stopped his grief and indignation. Even if the destruction of the nation was imminent, he had to display the might of an Emperor. To die like this, how could he face the past Human Emperors of Tianyue.
"Your subject... is here!"
The few officials stood up trembling. The Tianyue Human Emperor swept a glance at them, a bitter smile appearing on his face. "The Tianyue lineage!"
"Better to die than surrender!"
"Better to die than surrender!"
The few officials roared, "Human Emperor, your subject will go first!"
The few officials drew their waist swords and glared at the approaching Xue You. However, before they could take a few steps, they were swept away by a horizontal sweep of Xue You's spear.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
The Tianyue Human Emperor laughed wildly, his eyes devoid of fear. He held his sword and looked at the ferocious Xue You. Looking at the human corpses piled up like mountains on the square, he couldn't help but sigh.
In this life, Tianyue had failed its subjects!
This Emperor is willing to atone with his death!
"En?"
The Tianyue Human Emperor's gaze instantly became firm. He let go of his sword and unleashed a palm strike, hitting his own forehead. Instantly, all his elemental energy surged.
"Not good!"
"Damn it!"
Xue You's expression changed drastically. He cursed and hastily retreated. The Tianyue Human Emperor exploded in front of the hall, his body turning into blood mist. The great hall behind him also rumbled like thunder and turned into dust.
"Damn it!"
Xue You looked at this scene, his rage soaring. The meal that was about to enter his mouth had slipped away! "Blood Python army, bloodbath the Tianyue Imperial Dynasty for me!"
"Leave no one alive!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
On the square, densely packed Blood Python soldiers roared to the sky.
On the seventh day of the twelfth month of the second year of Great Han, the Tianyue Imperial Dynasty was annihilated, and its hundreds of millions of miles of territory turned into hell.
Skeletons piled up into hills, and bones lay like forests. Throughout the vast territory, the only things visible were stark white bones and hair mixed in the soil. There was no trace of blood, all of it having been completely absorbed by the Blood Python army.
