Chapter 1024: Chapter 828: Abandoned by All_2

Yuan Taiwei, no matter how reluctant to see this object fall into the hands of others, was helpless.

She decided that after today’s events, she would find a way to increase income and reduce expenditures, aiming to quickly erase the astronomical debt of 32 million.

After comforting Yuan Taiwei, Luo Yan then shifted her attention back to the battle at hand.

The pair of swords in her sleeves were already eager to try.

However, Li Xuan did not want them to intervene in the battle today, and naturally, there was a reason for it.

Li Xuan’s Liuli Haoqi had already reached the boundary of touching Extreme Heaven.

With only one more step needed, he could condense his first Rule of Extreme Heaven, "Truth."

But Li Xuan, after all, had too shallow a foundation, and this step had been delayed.

Since internal cultivation was impossible, he had to rely on external forces.

In today’s battle, Li Xuan intended to use the Law of the Holy Heaven of the Changsheng Emperor of the South and the two Buddhas to glimpse the marvel of the Rule!

As time passed, Randeng and Maitreya had already successively discerned Li Xuan’s intention.

On the attractive face of the Changsheng Emperor of the South, anger turned his complexion from green to purple.

"Interesting, you actually wish to use the power of us three to prove your own path. Of all the radicals I’ve encountered in my life, you are the foremost. However, I fear you cannot bear it today!"

She raised her hand and it transformed into a pair of iron whips in mid-air, becoming two black and white dragons that fiercely smashed towards Li Xuan’s head!

These iron whips, imbued with her Third Door Rule of "Yin and Yang," had also touched the edge of Holy Heaven.

Before these iron whips reached Li Xuan’s head, they were destroyed by a flash of golden Thunderbolt.

Dasiming recognized that Thunderbolt, which burst out from a nearby cave inside the burial earth of the First Emperor’s mausoleum, originating from the "Book of Jinque."

The excavation by Li Lexing and others was less than six yards away from the location where she had buried the "Book of Jinque."

This powerful divine treasure was already beginning to respond to Li Xuan’s power.

Dasiming looked anxiously around and then turned her gaze towards the distant ghost army of Qin.

Then, she paused, stunned to see that more than 500,000 ghostly soldiers were firmly blocked by Li Xuan’s iron army three miles away.

They seemed to meet an insurmountable barrier, unable to advance even a step!

How is this possible—

Dasiming couldn’t believe that these more than 500,000 immortal and indestructible ghostly soldiers could not overwhelm Li Xuan’s formidable defenses.

When she scrutinized closely, her face turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color.

She noticed that the firing speed of those cannons under Li Xuan’s command was so fast that it was astonishing!

The fifty-seven Taixu Battleships, with over 2700 cannons, were firing at a pace of nearly seven rounds every sixty breaths, continuously bombarding the ground.

The firing rate was three times faster than the standard recoil guns of the Jin Dynasty!

And these cannons were obviously not at maximum capacity yet; Dasiming sensed that the gunners were entirely at ease.

The temperature of the gun barrels was also maintained at normal levels.

Behind those armored soldiers, there were also three cannon positions, nearly a thousand strangely shaped cannons, all spitting fire.

Their rate of fire was even more astonishing, reaching a level of twelve rounds every sixty breaths.

The range was also impressive; these cannons, positioned seventeen li behind the front lines, could bombard the Qin’s army formation twenty-one li away, creating a dense barrage.

Once those cone-shaped metal shells exploded in the Qin army’s formation, they would immediately burst forth immense heat and light, and thousands of rune-engraved fragments tore the ghost army of Qin to shreds.

This made the seemingly strong ghost army of more than 500,000 permanently unable to advance, caught in a cycle of death and rebirth.

Their originally tight formation was also always in a state of disarray.

At this moment, even an advance of another mile could have allowed them to tear the enemy line apart with dense arrow rain.

But this short distance of 130 yards, they just could not cross.

Looking at this scene from a distance, Dasiming felt as if her heart was encased in ice.

A new understanding formed in her mind—that the present era was indeed different from the past.

"It seems that my army will not collapse in just a moment,"

Li Xuan’s expression was indifferent as he stared at the few before him, "Human strength eventually exhausts, and the bullets and artillery under my command are not infinite either. This time, I brought only 2.5 million rounds, of which approximately one tenth has already been used. The remaining part should suffice for about three moments, and now the ’Book of Jinque’ is about to appear."

He then turned his gaze to Dasiming, a mocking look in his eyes, "If Dasiming has no other tricks up her sleeve, then I shall gladly take this Book of Jinque for myself!"

Dasiming’s face turned ashen as her mind raced, plotting a way to break the deadlock.

There was still one method left, the ’Qianqiu Brush’ in the Lord of Ziwei Palace Wenshifei’s hands.

It required Wenshifei to invest all his Life Element, which might reverse the outcome of today’s battle.

Wenshifei’s cultivation was naturally insufficient to predict the future of Li Xuan, the ’Xuanhuang Emperor’ but could shift the balance of this battle.

For instance, causing some of the armored soldiers’ guns and cannons to jam, or even explode, or causing Li Lexing to miscalculate his analysis of the legal prohibitions.

Yet, Dasiming couldn’t let go of this thousand-year mentor-disciple relationship.

But this hesitation was momentary, and a resolute expression soon emerged in Dasiming’s eyes.

"Wenshifei—"

Dasiming’s Divine Consciousness communicated directly across more than twenty li to the Primordial Spirit of Wenshifei in the rear of Qin’s army.

"The time to use the Qianqiu Brush has come. Why haven’t you made your move?"

The Lord of Ziwei Palace, Wenshifei, had a face changing between pale and green. Finally, he sighed and immediately picked up the Qianqiu Brush, writing hastily on the scroll in his hand.

The Lord of Baihu Palace, Shi Tianze, observed carefully and discovered that the line written was ’Within ten breaths, Wenshifei will remain unharmed.’

Shi Tianze couldn’t help nodding slightly, thinking that this was the right approach.

Before using the Qianqiu Brush to shift the dynamics of the battle, it was essential to first ensure his own invulnerability.

However, he then saw the Lord of Ziwei Palace, Wenshifei, suddenly take flight and head straight towards Li Xuan.

"Wenshifei?" Shi Tianze couldn’t help but feel stunned. He had realized what Wenshifei intended to do.

"Disaster!"

Dasiming had also realized what Wenshifei was trying to do, and she pointed a finger, sending a Sword Qi imbued with Heavenly Law directly at Wenshifei.

However, this Sword Qi was intercepted halfway by Yuan Taiwei, who let out a cold laugh, "Sister, don’t you think it’s time to reflect? How can such actions not lead to everyone turning away from you?"

Maitreya and the Changsheng Emperor of the South had also sensed the danger and withdrew some of their residual strength, attempting to remotely kill Wenshifei.

But at that moment, the ’Qianqiu Brush’ gleamed with a brilliant light, unleashing a powerful force of Rule that protected Wenshifei from harm.

He eventually came before Li Xuan, presenting the ’Qianqiu Brush’ before himself.

"Your Majesty! Wenshifei presents this item to you, only wishing that Your Majesty will protect the mortal realm and ensure the prosperity of humanity,"

Li Xuan unapologetically raised his hand to beckon, seizing the Qianqiu Brush.

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "My lords, how long do you intend to wait? If you do not act now, then all previous alliances shall cease!"

Simultaneously, he swiftly wrote two lines in the void with the Qianqiu Brush in his hand.

—Randeng Buddha’s True Spirit will fall here!

—The Law Body of the Changsheng Emperor of the South will be captured by me!

In that instant, the entire heaven and earth underwent a massive transformation.

Maitreya Buddha sighed, directly shifting the force of the future and applying it to this expanse of heaven and earth.

The ’future’ he envisioned was that within the next hundred breaths, no Buddha or Emperor’s True Spirit could leave the mortal realm.

Meanwhile, within and outside the First Emperor’s Yuanfeng, countless Sanskrit inscriptions appeared, endless Sanskrit power with only one goal—to seal off both the within and without of the mortal realm!

Simultaneously, Luo Yan, holding the ’Guanghen Saber,’ rose together with Li Xuan in a flash of light.

This pair, with the ’Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife,’ pierced through and immediately shattered the True Spirit and Law Body of Randeng Buddha on the spot!

The face of this Buddha was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Meanwhile, Dasiming and the Changsheng Emperor nearby, looked on bewildered, unable to understand how the situation had suddenly turned into such a bizarre twist.
