Chapter 1021: Chapter 827: Close-Quarters Combat_2

Dasiming’s complexion also turned slightly pale.

She knew that Li Xuan wasn’t relying entirely on the power of the "Haotian Seal," his own "Quan" Rule was also in the process of forming.

This guy was indeed becoming more and more terrifying.

Dasiming then turned her head towards Yuan Taiwei, "Are you just going to let them dig above the imperial tomb of our father?"

Yuan Taiwei coldly and distinctly responded, "The damage to the First Emperor’s Seal was not in accordance with our father’s wishes. You hiding the Book of Jinque here was ill-intentioned from the start!"

"You are still persistent in your delusion!"

Dasiming’s voice was as cold and hard as ice, with a chilling intent to kill, "If this mortal realm cannot be held in our father’s hands, then what would it matter if it were destroyed?"

Yuan Taiwei’s right hand rested on his sword, unyieldingly locking eyes with Dasiming, "We were born and raised here, everything we use and consume comes from the people of the mortal realm. Moreover, you know better than I that our father is not coming back, Liu Ji, having usurped the position of the Black Emperor, has severed any hope of his True Spirit’s awakening."

Li Xuan couldn’t help but raise his brows slightly, his eyes revealing an understanding.

In the past, the First Emperor killed the Northern Black Emperor to prepare for his ascension to the position of Heaven Emperor.

But, this inadvertently played into Liu Ji’s hands, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who, with the support of many emperors, became the ruler of the mortal realm’s dynasty and also smoothly ascended to the position of the Black Emperor.

The Emperors of Five Directions are Deities born from the five elements, possessing the highest authority over the power of the five elements.

Therefore, Great Qin revered water virtue and the color black, and so did the Western Han Dynasty until Emperor Guangwu of Han changed it to "Han Dynasty."

"Ridiculous nonsense! Even if our father cannot awaken, that does not mean we can let someone else sit on the throne of the Heaven Emperor."

Dasiming’s gaze shifted, landing on Li Xuan, "Have you forgotten what our father said before he passed away? ’Heaven is unfathomable, one must escape; when the Heavenly Dao ceases, all things renew!’"

Yuan Taiwei remained dismissive, "Those were the words of the Qi Cultivator Xu Fu from days past, whom we both know is a divided form of the Fusou Emperor. However, Fusou Emperor himself was involved in our father’s death, and he cannot be absolved of responsibility. How can we trust his words? Besides, this divinatory phrase is vague and ambiguous, what does it really explain?"

Dasiming frowned deeply, her eyes showing anger, but at the moment, there were more pressing matters that required her attention.

As the posterior Eight Diagrams behind Li Lexing expanded, those heavenly soldiers were digging deeper and deeper.

Such that a majestic golden Light pierced through the cave, shaking the heavens.

Every inch of ’sealed soil’ ten feet below the First Emperor’s mausoleum is integrated with the forbidden spell. To excavate the sealed soil, one must first break the Array.

Yet at this moment, the speed at which Li Lexing was dispelling the forbidden spell was getting faster and faster.

It indicated that he had thoroughly mastered the structure of the outer Array of the First Emperor’s tomb.

What made Dasiming more uneasy was that the majestic golden light seemed to be in remote resonance with Li Xuan’s spiritual sense.

This caused her "Heavenly Law" Rule to be suppressed even more miserably, rendering it useless within this thirty-mile radius.

Fortunately, at this time, over thirty miles away in the mountain ridges, a black tide had begun to appear.

They were all clad in black garments and black armor, the tiger’s ward warriors, their number endless and boundless.

They advanced like a wall, holding high the black dragon banner, marching like a tide all over the mountains and plains towards them.

Dasiming’s spirit relaxed a bit, looking at Li Xuan with a cold and mocking expression, "What do you think is the purpose of my burying the Book of Jinque here? You might have had a glimmer of hope had you chosen to fight me in Xi’an City today. But here, you don’t stand a chance!"

Li Xuan looked into the distance, "Meng’s tombkeeper and the ghost army of Qin?"

It was rumored that when the First Emperor died, he entrusted his loyal general Meng Changshan to guard his tomb.

In the past, Xiang Yu wanted to rob the mausoleum of the First Emperor, but was repelled by Meng Changshan, leading hundreds of thousands from the ghost army of Qin. Later on, the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow armies also set their sights on the First Emperor’s tomb, but they equally failed to obtain anything from this place.

Li Xuan didn’t know whether these stories were true, but when he saw that ghostly army, he knew the rumors were no exaggeration.

Of those tens of thousands of black-clad armored soldiers, while most were Hell Soldiers summoned from the First Emperor’s tomb, the core contingent of thirteen thousand riders were all alive, and the leader exuded an extremely powerful aura of Extreme Heaven.

This person’s aura reminded Li Xuan of Master Zhongliu because their spiritual senses were similar.

He was inwardly shocked, wondering how such an elite force with the second highest cultivation in the entire army could have evaded the Court’s campaign to destroy them, and how they had remained undetected by the commanding officers of both sides during the four years of fierce battle in Xi’an City?

And just when this vast ghostly army came within five miles of Li Xuan and the others, the booming of guns and cannons began to assault everyone’s eardrums.

——These were the eighteen thousand heavenly soldiers and fifty-seven Taixu Battleships brought by Li Xuan to this place. They fired calmly and in an orderly fashion toward the opposing ghostly army, with cannons shredding the fearlessly charging Hell Soldiers into pieces from several miles away.

Yet Dasiming’s lips curled up in a mocking smile, "Don’t bother wasting your effort. These Qin’s soldiers’ True Spirits are fixed within the terracotta warriors. As long as they are within the range of the First Emperor’s tomb, as long as the terracotta warriors remain unharmed, they can be immortal!"

While she was speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept over from above the First Emperor’s tomb, and those Qin’s soldiers previously torn to shreds by Rune bullets reappeared in the rear formation of the Qin’s army.

They continued to advance in formation without expressions, fearless and undaunted.

At this time, a fat and prosperous-looking Buddha suddenly appeared behind Dasiming without any warning. He looked at Li Xuan with an affable smile, his eyes reflecting scrutiny, "Interesting. Are you the one who covets the position of Heaven Emperor, the Prince Fenyang of the mortal realm, the County Prince Fenyang spoken of by the mortal realm’s bhiksus, the Demon King of the Posa World?"
