With the startling sound of the cannon.
The terrifying blazing light appeared once more in the eyes of the world.
Outside the gates of the barbarian nation.
Xu Qingnian chose to attack two hundred miles away, not because he was heartbroken for the barbarians, but because of the various treasures, and the barbarian population.
At the moment, Great Wei needed to build vigorously and needed all kinds of hard labour, and the barbarians were just the most suitable labour force.
When the time comes, the men and women will be divided up to do the hard work, which will maximise their value.
But even so, within the gates of the country, a hundred miles were reduced to nothing, and the land was full of scorched earth.
“This can’t be.”
Inside the barbarians’ palace, the barbarian king was completely dumbfounded.
The State Master even couldn’t help but roar out.
Who would have thought that such a terrifying Heavenly Thunder Cannon could even be released a second time?
This was simply unbelievable.
It was reasonable to say that the stronger something was, the greater his limitations would be, but Xu Qingnian’s Heavenly Thunder Cannon could actually be released twice?
“It’s a First Grade.”
“It’s definitely a First Grade, Your Majesty, the Great Wei is unjust, they attacked with a First Grade.”
The State Master’s face changed as he gritted his teeth and spoke, believing that it was the First Grade that was behind the attack, and not some so-called First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
“Let’s not talk about that now, what should we do next?”
The Barbarian King spoke.
He didn’t care if it was a First Cla*s strike now, right now Great Wei had already killed over, if he didn’t deal with it properly, the Barbarian Kingdom would really die.
“Your Majesty, let’s abandon the kingdom first and flee to the Sudden Evil Dynasty, there might still be a chance of survival.”
The State Master opened his mouth, right now Xu Qingnian simply did not accept the peace talks, instead of doing so, it would be better to hurry and leave, if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of not having firewood to burn.
Only, with these words, the barbarian king’s face became incomparably ugly.
Abandoning his country?
Wasn’t this asking him to become a fallen king?
As an emperor, he couldn’t do it.
“Your Majesty, Great Wei is now sending a First Cla*s to conquer the war, and since my barbarians have not lost this battle, as long as they escape from the Sudden Evil Dynasty, the two dynasties will definitely stand in solidarity with my barbarians.”
The State Master spoke up and said so.
However, just at that moment, a voice rang out.
“Report.”
“Great Wei generals, have already killed into the territory of my barbarian nation.”
It was the voice of a scout, coming to report.
“Your Majesty, there is no time to think about it.”
The State Master clasped his hands and looked at the barbarian king and said so.
“Your Majesty, there is no time to worry about leaving the green hills untouched.”
“Yes, the State Master is right, if you stay in the green hills, you won’t be afraid of having no firewood to burn.”
The courtiers spoke up and persuaded the barbarian king to leave.
But in reality, they were thinking more about themselves, after all, if the barbarian king ran away, they could also follow.
It was only under these circumstances that the barbarian king finally took a deep breath and looked at the State Master.
“State Master, lead my descendants to the Sudden Evil, I, in no way, will become the king of the fallen kingdom.”
“Let the eldest prince take the throne as the new king of the barbarian kingdom, and after he has regained his strength, he will take revenge for me.”
“Flee!”
“Take the men and flee.”
“All the lovers, let’s go too.”
The barbarian king spoke out, and he made his choice.
Let him become the king of a fallen kingdom, he refused, it was an emperor’s choice.
To go to the Sudden Evil Dynasty, that was to be a parasite, and as an emperor, he naturally could not and would not accept it.
Therefore, he would rather die here in battle than become the king of a fallen kingdom.
“Your Majesty.”
“If you do not leave, I, too, will not leave.”
The Barbarian State Master could not help but speak out, he was willing to live and die with the Barbarian King.
And the ministers also knelt on the ground and cried out in sorrow, but there were other factors in this sorrowful cry.
It was impossible for them to leave without the barbarian king.
It was hard to bear.
After all, to stay was to die.
“Let’s go.”
“State Master, the future of the barbarian race is in your hands.”
“All you lovers, take your last hope with you and remember the difficulties of today.”
“If Great Wei does move to use the First Grade, they must never be spared.”
The barbarian king spoke out, and as his words fell, he cleared everyone out of the great hall with a push, and then blocked the hall from the group of ministers.
In an instant, the barbarian group of ministers no longer had any slightest scruples, they themselves were here to put on a show.
Now that the barbarian king had cleared them out, what else was there to say?
One by one, they fled the place.
There were even a few old foxes who had already informed their families and were ready to run away.
At this very moment.
Two thousand miles away from the capital.
As the gates were opened and the border defences turned into scorched earth, millions of Great Wei generals rushed in like a torrent, looking extremely terrifying.
“The king has ordered that those who surrender their weapons will not be killed.”
“If you dare to resist, you will be executed evenly.”
The Great Wei generals rode on blazing horses, holding the ‘Wei’ army banner in their hands as they pushed their way across.
They roared loudly and also kept the barbarian people under control.
Xu Qingnian did not apply a policy of slaughter, which was inhumane; what he wanted to destroy was the hearts of the barbarians, there was no need to slaughter them.
But it was also impossible to administer a benevolent policy, there was a debt to be paid for injustice, the barbarian generals had invaded Great Wei, creating all sorts of killings and doing countless things that would outrage God and man.
The barbarians should also be allowed to make up for this debt.
Xu Qingnian’s idea was simple: to control the barbarians, make them work for Great Wei, to do hard labour, give them food and shelter, but keep them under strict supervision.
Then there was no more.
That was how war was.
There is no right or wrong, no mercy or brutality, it is an indisputable fact that if you fall behind you will be beaten.
This was mainly because Xu Qingnian was in charge. If he had been in charge of the military according to those princes and lords of the Great Wei, would there have been hard work to do?
At the very least, they would have pushed all the way across and slaughtered a clan.
Xu Qingnian is not a murderous person, nor is he a brutal person. What he has done is to bring about true peace.
A unified world is the only way to end all war.
With millions of troops rushing into the barbarian kingdom, all the counties were instantly controlled, and the barbarian generals no longer had any ability to resist.
There were also barbarian generals who did not want to die, but there was no other possibility of the outcome and they were cut down by the Great Wei generals.
The big picture had been decided.
No matter what tactics the barbarians had next, it was all empty talk.
“Have the reserve army blockade the area around the barbarian nation at once, set up soldiers and horses on all sides, whether they are deserters or stragglers, control them all, and kill anyone who interferes.”
“The Qilin Army will draw out 20,000 seventh-ranked generals to go with the King to the barbarian palace at once.”
Xu Qingnian gave out a military order.
After the military order was given.
His figure, then, disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the Barbarian Clan’s Imperial Palace.
The barbarian tribe’s millions of generals were completely wiped out in ashes, and the people who remained were the barbarian royal family.
Only if the barbarian royal family was completely wiped out, then the barbarian tribe would completely disappear and no new barbarian tribe would appear.
Moreover, among the barbarians, there is still a young man, a young man who is expected to be promoted to the first rank.
For the Great Wei, there was danger.
The main purpose of his trip to the imperial palace was to target this young man.
The next moment.
It only took Xu Qingnian a little over half an hour to arrive at the barbarian tribe’s Kyoto, a journey of two thousand miles.
Only, just as Xu Qingnian arrived in Kyoto.
Finally, a voice, exploded in the vault of the sky.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“How dare you defy the ban of the world and invite the First Grade to fight, do you want to seek death?”
As the booming sound rang out.
Above the azure vault of the sky, a jade seal appeared, which was coiled with a true dragon and emitted a terrifying imperial aura.
This was the voice of the Primordial Yuan Emperor.
He stood in the Primordial Yuan Imperial Palace, his tone filled with rage.
With the first shot from the Divine Martial Cannon, he did not think it was a first-grade martial artist striking, although he hoped it was, but as an emperor, he could not go into that possibility of judgement.
However, when the second shot of the Divine Martial Cannon was released, he thoroughly believed that Great Wei had secretly sent a First Grade martial artist to interfere with this great battle.
This was because the third-grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon refined by the Primordial Yuan Dynasty required an interval of one hour before a second shot could be released.
If it was of the second grade, it would take six hours.
As for the first grade, it would take at least twelve hours before the second cannon could be released.
And how long did it take for Xu Qingnian’s Divine Martial Cannon to go back and forth? Not even half an hour.
How could this be true?
If they were to say that there was not a First Grade Martial Artist behind this, they would not believe it for a second.
Otherwise this was too outrageous, right?
Powerful, no interval.
If you really got three or five doors, who would be able to beat you?
In addition, the Great Wei itself has two first-rank martial artists, and now that the Immortal Sect has also become a power of the Great Wei, wouldn’t that be a unification of the Central Continent.
Naturally, they were already certain that Great Wei was secretly sending First Grade, but they just didn’t know what method they used to conceal the First Grade’s aura.
“It is forbidden under the world that a First Grade may not go to war.”
“This ban should be observed by all the world, the sea of the Devil’s Domain, such a scourge is happening, you, Great Wei, do not take pity on the people of the world, do not send a First Grade to guard the people, and now you even take the initiative to break this rule, Xu Qingnian, you deserve to die.”
“Great Wei dynasty, heaven forbid.”
“Today, if Great Wei dares to infringe on the barbarians one step, I, declare war on Great Wei.”
Soon, the voice of the Great Emperor of Tusi resounded.
He even insulted Great Wei without mercy, using the previous incident in the Sea of Demons as a reason, and even more so, he wanted to declare war on Great Wei.
“Retreat, or else, I will, immediately, send troops to Great Wei.”
The voice of the Primordial Emperor followed suit.
It was useless to say anything now, let Great Wei retreat first, and then slowly make Great Wei pay the price.
After all, now that the wood had been laid to rest, this was the only way to go first.
The voices of the two great dynasties rang out.
They rebuked Great Wei and reprimanded Xu Qingnian.
At this moment, the world was fearfully shocked, and people were puzzled, really confused as to whether Great Wei had sent a First Grade, or whether they really had a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon.
Most people, who thought that the Great Wei had secretly sent a First Grade, were just very clever in their tactics and did not reveal any breath.
A terrifying mighty pressure struck.
Two jade seals appeared in the vault of the sky, emitting a monstrous aura, turning into infinite power and pressing towards Xu Qingnian.
This was the will of the two great dynasties.
They were extremely angry.
The two dynasties stepped in to stop the Great Wei invasion, and a monstrous imperial aura filled the sky, like an ocean, pouring into the barbarian kingdom and suppressing the Great Wei generals.
The sky was dense with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it looked terrifying.
It was like the end of days.
This was the power of the nation’s fortunes.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty were truly furious.
They had agreed that they could not send out a first rank, but they ended up playing this trick, how could they not make people angry?
Looking at the terrifying heavenly might.
Xu Qingnian, on the contrary, looked calm.
“All troops listen to the order.”
“Trample down the barbarians.”
This was Xu Qingnian’s reply, ignoring the threat of the two great dynasties, Sudden Evil and Primordial Yuan, and still allowing the three armies to strike.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“Are you really so arrogant?”
“Great Wei has already broken the rules by using the First Grade, if you continue like this, you will be the one to bear the burden of any future mistakes.”
The Great Emperor Chu Yuan spoke out, his voice cold.
“Xu Qingnian, it is no longer your turn to handle this matter. If you continue to be so rampant, do you believe that I will give you death.”
Emperor Tuo Xie also followed suit, and even used the word “death”.
They still despised Great Wei.
“Has Great Wei ever used a first cla*s? Did you say you used it, just because you said you did?”
“Furthermore, when the barbarians invaded Great Wei and slaughtered the people, you two did not come out to say a word, but now that the barbarians have been defeated, you come out to make noise again?”
“Could it be that the barbarians’ invasion of our Great Wei was the intention of the two of you?”
Xu Qingnian stood beneath the void, his voice calmly saying.
He accused the twin emperors without any fear.
“Arrogant.”
“Seek death.”
The twin emperors’ voices rang out, and in an instant, a terrifying heavenly might poured down directly, like a yellow river, looking fierce and incomparable.
Imperial might pervaded.
At this moment, the Great Wei Dynasty, the female emperor’s voice also sounded out.
“The Great Wei has not sent a first rank.”
This was the Empress’ meaning and her attitude.
In an instant, the terrifying Great Wei Kingdom Luck was added around Xu Qingnian, blocking the terrifying pressure.
“Not having dispatched a First Grade? That’s ridiculous.”
“The Heavenly Thunder Cannon, even if it is a First Grade one, needs time intervals, this is not a First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon at all, but a First Grade one striking behind the scenes.”
“This power is also only achievable by the First Grade.”
“Otherwise, is there such a terrifying divine weapon in the world?”
The Primordial Emperor spoke out, they had studied the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, and even if the First Grade was strong, it was not strong enough to reach this level.
“Ridiculous.”
“Does the Primordial Yuan Dynasty have a First Grade cannon?”
“If not, what makes you say that Great Wei’s First Grade Cannons are not as powerful as this?”
Xu Qingnian spoke in a cold voice.
If they were to level the barbarians, they would inevitably have to break with the two dynasties, so naturally, Xu Qingnian didn’t care about that much.
What peace talks or not.
Right now, there was no such thing as peace talks, so there was no need to give face.
“Don’t try to be forceful here.”
“If you really have this kind of power, then you are demonstrating it to me?”
The Primordial Emperor sneered.
It was only when this was said that many people guessed what the Primordial Yuan Emperor had in mind.
There was a First Grade in the shadows that was paying attention, and if there was really a First Grade in the shadows, it would be the first thing they would catch.
So the Primordial Yuan Emperor was also testing Xu Qingnian.
Testing whether this First Grade Heavenly Thunder Cannon was real or not.
And in the face of the Primordial Yuan Emperor’s words.
Xu Qingnian was straightforward, this kind of request was something he had never heard of before in his life.
Only, Xu Qingnian did not choose to fire the cannon at the Barbarians.
Instead, he rushed to the border between the Great Wei and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty at top speed.
The Heavenly Thunder Cannon was aimed at the territory of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, which were all va*sal states of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
Going directly to the territory of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty was definitely not an option, after all, the Primordial Yuan Dynasty also had a true First Grade, and to dare to step in would be asking for trouble.
Boom.
As the Divine Martial Cannon condensed its momentum, the next moment a blazing light erupted, pushing across three hundred miles once more.
Everything was turned into scorched earth.
The earth shook once more.
The va*sal states of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty were all shaken to their core.
Xu Qingnian had not injured any innocents, but the mountains chosen, all of them mines, were of great value to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
Both great dynasties were watching Xu Qingnian.
When the Divine Martial Cannon activated again, everyone watched carefully.
And for these va*sal states, it was a disaster.
Although no one died, the deterrent was so terrifying that it was too much for them to bear.
They panicked and were furious at the same time.
Why did they suddenly come to the Primordial Yuan Dynasty when they were fighting the barbarians so well?
What does the whole thing have to do with us?
It was hard for the people to bear, but they had bitterness to say.
They could not get involved in the struggle of the three great dynasties.
“Did you find out anything?”
“Do we still need to try?”
Looking at the 300 miles of scorched earth, Xu Qingnian became more and more confident in the Divine Martial Cannon.
However, he had also observed that the formation jade on the Divine Martial Cannon was showing some subtle cracks.
If he had to forcefully unleash the might of the First Grade, he would have to unleash it at most five more times and the Divine Artifact Cannon would have to self-destruct.
There was no way around it, the power of the Divine Object Cannon was simply too great.
In itself, it could only be released twenty times.
And it was indeed not possible to release it wildly in one breath.
Of course, the root cause was still the problem with the ‘foreign arts’.
Xu Qingnian had engraved an Allomancy Formation on the port of the Divine Martial Cannon, separating a portion of the Allomancy Demonic Ideas within himself.
When the power of heavenly thunder, coalesced at the cannon’s port, it would cause an extremely terrifying reaction.
It was like a heavenly thunderbolt striking down, if it only struck a stone, the power would be that of a normal heavenly thunderbolt.
But if it strikes a demon, the power will automatically increase.
This is the reason why the Divine Martial Artillery cannon blasts 300 miles.
Otherwise, it would be somewhat troublesome for a normal first-grade martial artist to achieve this level.
In fact, when all was said and done, it was still too difficult to refine the Divine Martial Cannon.
If there were more than four or five of them.
Then today, instead of stepping on the barbarians, one would be qualified to step on the Primordial Yuan Dynasty and the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
It would still be no problem to try a battle.
At this moment.
Inside the Primordial Yuan Dynasty.
The Primordial Yuan Emperor felt the power of this divine Martial Cannon, and he frowned.
“Senior, is there a First Grade that is secretly striking?”
The Primordial Yuan Grand Emperor spoke up as he asked the First Grade of the Primordial Yuan Dynasty, an old man who was a round older than Wu Yan in age, but without the air of being late.
“No.”
The old man looked dead on at the location where Xu Qingnian was, and he shook his head, giving this answer.
“When there really is none?”
The Primordial Emperor’s face instantly turned a little ugly.
He was deliberately provoking Xu Qingnian, just hoping that Xu Qingnian would slip through the cracks.
It was just that this result was not satisfactory.
For a moment, the Primordial Yuan Emperor did not know what to say.
“Is there a possibility.”
“I mean a possibility that Great Wei has mastered a secret technique that can isolate the aura of a first-grade martial artist?”
The Primordial Yuan Emperor continued to speak out.
He was somewhat reluctant.
In his heart, no matter what, he did not want Great Wei to possess such a divine weapon.
Even to put it in a bad way.
If Xu Qingnian admitted that a First Grade had really made a move, they could put things to rest and compensate a little at will.
After all, if a First Grade had made a move, everything would still be within control.
If it wasn’t a First Cla*s, and it really was a Heavenly Thunder Cannon, then it would be a disaster for everyone in the world.
One cannon is equal to one First Grade martial artist.
If there were four or five cannons, in addition to the First Grade martial artists that Wei itself had.
This would be a disaster for the world.
Great Wei would have unparalleled power to claim the Central Continent.
So, between the two, the Primordial Emperor would rather choose the latter.
Not only him, but practically everyone hoped that there was no such thing as a divine martial artillery, but merely a secret technique controlled by the Great Wei that would allow the First Grade to strike and shield its breath.
However, looking at the Primordial Yuan Emperor, the latter shook his head and said.
“Your Majesty, if there really is a First Grade strike, we will certainly be able to capture the scent, and if we can’t capture the scent, then there will be even more trouble.”
He spoke, giving an absolute answer.
Previously, he had not paid attention to it, so there was indeed a First Grade outburst, but it was just hidden away.
But this time, Xu Qingnian unleashed the might of the Divine Martial Cannon in front of the First Grade, and that was enough to prove everything.
If there had been a First Cla*s strike, they would have been able to detect it.
For if they could not detect it, it would be even more terrifying.
If a First Grade martial artist made a move, they would not be able to detect it, was this not terrifying?
With the Primordial Yuan First Grade martial artist’s reply, the latter was somewhat silent.
“Do you need any more proof?”
The next moment.
Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
It asked the two great emperors.
As Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out, the two great emperors fell silent.
But soon, the voice of the Sudden Evil Great Emperor rang out.
“No matter what, the First Grade just cannot be used, this is the rule, whether Great Wei has used the First Grade or not, it needs to be checked, if not, it will give Great Wei a clean slate.”
“If there is, the people of the world will not tolerate Great Wei’s actions.”
The Great Emperor of Sudden Evil spoke out, and he had been given the appropriate information, and it was almost certain that no First Grade had been used.
Only they still didn’t believe it.
They did not want to believe that Great Wei had such a divine weapon.
It was an invincible war killing weapon, and if it really existed, it would be too much pressure for them.
“Check?”
“Check what?”
“What do you need to check?”
“And why should we give it to you? This is a sacred weapon for the protection of our country, and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty secretly made the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, so why is it not given to our country for inspection? Instead, it was given to the barbarians?”
“This has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries in Great Wei!”
“And now they want to inspect my divine weapon? That’s ridiculous.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, his voice cold.
The so-called inspection was just a way to stall for time and take a look at the Divine Martial Artillery in the process.
Other than that, what good intentions did these two dynasties have?
“Xu Qingnian, you are only the king of Great Wei, I, being the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil, am talking to you in respect of Great Wei, not in respect of you, if you dare to speak to me like that again, I, for one, will not forgive you lightly.”
He was furious, after all, he was the Emperor of Sudden Evil, and he was already giving Great Wei face by speaking up.
He had also given face to Xu Qingnian, a prince.
However, he had not expected that Xu Qingnian would dislike himself again and again.
Although Xu Qingnian was not a child of the Sudden Evil, as the emperors of the three kingdoms, they would respect each other, as a rule.
Boom.
However, as the voice of the Great Emperor of Sudden Evil rang out.
Xu Qingnian fell silent.
Soon, not even waiting for the crowd to prepare to say something else.
In the next moment, Xu Qingnian arrived in the land beyond the borders of the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
Boom.
The terrifying sound of cannons was deafening.
The unparalleled destructive power destroyed the heavens and the earth.
Moreover, this time, the divine Martial Cannon was blasting directly into the land of the Sudden Evil border, and a few miles further on, it was about to break the gates of the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
“Xu Qingnian.”
“You’re arrogant.”
“Do you want to declare war?”
The Sudden Evil Emperor’s body trembled as he roared in fury.
Boom.
Another cannon, this one, Xu Qingnian directly shattered the border defences of the Sudden Evil Dynasty.
The people were dumbfounded.
Xu Qingnian was truly a fierce man of the world.
He fired a cannon at the drop of a hat, and this time he directly broke through someone’s city wall, although he didn’t cause any casualties, it was a warning.
But if this were to fire another cannon, it would be a real declaration of war,.
“If you want to fight, Great Wei is always ready to accompany you.”
“A first-rate cannon, I have no shortage in Great Wei.”
Xu Qingnian responded loudly.
At the same time, a second, third, and fourth Divine Martial Cannon appeared.
These three Divine Martial Cannons were all of the second grade, but from the looks of them, they were not particularly different from the first grade.
But, the world was frozen.
They had seen the power of the First Grade Divine Martial Cannons.
But after all the calculations, they really had not expected that Xu Qingnian would be able to produce four of them?
Quiet.
Absolute silence.
The Sudden Evil Emperor and the Primordial Yuan Emperor fell into a deep silence.
And at that very moment.
Xu Qingnian’s voice, too, slowly rang out.
“Pa*s on the order.”
“Within twelve hours.”
“Occupy the barbarians.”
“Forge the soul of my Great Wei!”
As Xu Qingnian spoke, the generals of Great Wei became even more fervent.
Like a tidal wave, the army poured into the barbarians.
The Sudden Evil Dynasty and the Primordial Yuan Dynasty watched all this quietly, knowing that the big picture was now set.
Even if they wanted to help, they could not do so.
In the main, they were stunned by the four first-rate cannons.
But soon, a piece of news arrived.
Once again, it shocked the world.
The barbarian king had killed himself.
Killed himself in the palace.
At the same time, he issued an edict of guilt, willing to surrender to the Great Wei, asking only that the Great Wei not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The news was sent out and the Chinese continent was in a frenzy.
But as the edict and the surrender letter appeared.
At this moment, a strange scene appeared.
Above the barbarians, a steady stream of qi was surging towards Great Wei.
And the Dragon Cauldron that had been in the sky above the capital of Great Wei.
A dragon roar suddenly came from it.
Each dragon roar resounded throughout the entire Middle Continent.
“The Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent is coming to fruition.”
Suddenly.
It was not known where the sound resounded from that drew people’s attention.
The major powers of the world were also staring at the Dragon Cauldron with unblinking eyes.
The legendary Dragon Cauldron of the Central Continent.
Was it coming to fruition?
