Qin Dynasty Mandate Era.
Inside the imperial study, ruler and ministers were all gathered.
Qin Wudao sat upright in the chief seat, his expression solemn, and relayed everything he had learned from the Azure Emperor to Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Bai Qi and the others.
When they heard of the plot of the Will of the Myriad Heavens, everyone’s brows knit slightly.
"Your Majesty, although the human race has its hidden foundations, they will not be activated unless it is the very last moment!"
"Therefore, we must rely on ourselves and cannot place all hope upon the human race’s hidden heritage. Only by strengthening ourselves can we face every danger!"
Zhuge Liang spoke.
Everyone nodded.
Thinking about it, that was indeed so. If the human race’s hidden cards could be activated at will, then through so many eras, the human race would not have lived so miserably.
"Your Majesty, this minister recommends sending troops to the ’Land of Illusory Desire’!"
At this moment, Guo Jia stood up, cupped his hands and said.
Send troops?
Bai Qi, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and the others’ eyes lit up, an overwhelming battle intent bursting forth.
"Beloved subject, you wish to force those Quasi-Saints in seclusion to come out?"
Qin Wudao raised an eyebrow, pondering aloud.
"Exactly!"
"At present, all Quasi-Saints are in seclusion. The great powers lack top experts to sit in town. This is the perfect time to send troops!"
"Besides, this minister also wants to see whether those Quasi-Saints will emerge when their sects and clans are exterminated!"
Guo Jia spoke, his voice cold. In the depths of his eyes flashed a strand of Evil Qi.
"Approved!"
On the imperial throne, Qin Wudao hardly needed to think before agreeing to Guo Jia’s proposal.
Not only because Guo Jia’s stratagem had all benefit and no harm,
but also because he had always believed that the best defense was offense.
"Pass on my order!"
Qin Wudao suddenly stood up and commanded with majesty, "Appoint Bai Qi as commanding general, Cao Cao as staff officer. Lead the First Legion, Second Legion, and Sixth Legion to march out and exterminate the Hehuan Sect!"
"As you command!"
Bai Qi, Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, and Han Xin stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
The Void began to boil. Four torrents of terrifying killing intent erupted from their bodies, piercing straight into the Ninth Heaven, as though they would slaughter all worlds of the heavens into emptiness.
The Qin Dynasty Mandate Era was now already in an extremely perilous situation.
And there was only one way to break the impasse: kill!
Kill!
Kill every force that stood against the Qin Dynasty!
Kill out a clear and bright firmament, kill out a glorious future for the Qin Dynasty and the human race.
That very day.
Bai Qi led the three great armies and vanished into the starry sky.
Before long.
The news that the Qin Dynasty had dispatched troops to the ’Land of Illusory Desire’ spread throughout the Great Thousand World, stirring no small waves.
"They want to force the Quasi-Saints in seclusion out?"
In a certain starry region, when the Azure Emperor heard the news of the Qin’s expedition, he raised an eyebrow, thoughtful.
A moment later, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Pity, you far underestimate the allure of breaking through a realm. The higher a person’s cultivation, the less they care about..."
"What they care about will forever be themselves..."
Two days later.
Bai Qi led the army to a dead-silent region in the eastern Starfield of the Seventh Heaven.
Why was it called a dead-silent land?
Because with this place as the center, within a radius of a million light-years there was not a single celestial body, let alone any sign of life.
"Worthy of being one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds, it truly is extraordinary!"
Standing atop the blood-colored immortal city, Bai Qi gazed at the distant starry sky, slightly surprised.
Just now, he had personally seen a meteorite ten thousand miles in diameter plunge into the Land of Illusory Desire. In less than a short moment, it turned into dust and vanished without a trace.
That feeling was as if it had been struck by some supreme power that erased everything.
"The starry sky in this place is overlaid with two layers. The starry sky we can see with the naked eye lies within the overlapping zone and contains violent power of time and space. Even if a Martial Artist at Immortal Venerable level were to enter, it would be more death than life!"
Cao Cao carefully examined it, then spoke.
"Then how do we enter?"
Zhao Yun asked.
Beside him, Han Xin was also full of curiosity.
Among the four of them, the two of them had the weaker cultivation, only having reached the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and were still unable to see through the mysteries of the Land of Illusory Desire.
After all, the ’Land of Illusory Desire’ was one of the Ten Forbidden Grounds, incomparably mysterious.
Bai Qi stared for a while and then also shook his head.
He could tell that the starry sky before them was filled with killing intent and danger, yet he could not unravel it.
The gazes of the three turned toward Cao Cao.
"The Land of Illusory Desire is composed of two layers of starry sky. No matter where you enter from, you will be swept into the chaos of the starry void and lose your sense of true direction!"
"Therefore, to break into the ’Land of Illusory Desire’, the simplest method is to shatter time and space..."
Cao Cao explained with a smile.
After breaking through to the Pre-saint Realm, besides a boost in strength, the greatest change was being able to combine time and space, freely manipulate spacetime, and use the power of spacetime to kill the enemy.
As for Martial Artists below the Pre-saint Realm, aside from beings who had comprehended the laws of time, all others were still stuck at the level of the Dao of space: constructing spatial passages, expanding or shrinking spatial range, or using spatial storms to kill, and so on.
Among these, star-gates, storage rings, spatial formations, etc., all belonged to the utilization of space.
Although Bai Qi and the other two could shatter spacetime, they were ultimately not Quasi-Saints and could not control spacetime.
Thus, even Bai Qi, whose strength was the greatest, had found no way to break the situation.
This was also the reason why, ever since the Sky-Breaking Era, the ’Land of Illusory Desire’ had become a forbidden ground: throughout the Myriad Heavens there were no longer any Quasi-Saint experts.
"Shatter time and space, huh?"
Bai Qi murmured.
Then he took a step forward and arrived before the ’Land of Illusory Desire’.
Rumble!
In the next instant.
A towering tide of blood Evil Qi erupted from his body, piercing through the starry sky.
Above his head, the unmatched Dao of Hongmeng Slaughter tore across the heavens, blooming with boundless power, annihilating heaven and earth, slaughtering all things.
Clang!
All of a sudden, Bai Qi violently drew his sword. A world-shocking sound of slaughter rang out, extremely piercing, filled with endless killing intent, as if announcing to the world that the slaughter had begun!
"Sever!"
Bai Qi roared and brought down the blood sword.
The starry universe shattered in great ruin. A blood-colored Sword Qi emerged, several light-years long, cleaving apart the Starfield, destroying the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, slaughtering the cosmos.
Endless killing aura surged from the Sword Qi, dyeing the surrounding Starfield in red.
Boom!
The ’Land of Illusory Desire’ trembled!
The Seventh Heaven trembled violently along with it!
In an instant, every living being in the Myriad Heavens felt a chill in their hearts for no reason, as though a great catastrophe was about to befall them.
Under everyone’s gaze, the blood-colored Sword Qi struck the ’Land of Illusory Desire’, tearing open spacetime. Vaguely, within the same region, two starry skies appeared.
Between the two timespaces, countless strands of the power of time and space churned.
Rumble rumble!
Where the Sword Qi passed, spacetime exploded. The starry sky within a million light-years was twisted without limit, splitting open into countless fissures.
From afar, it looked as if some supreme power was erasing this piece of the starry universe.
Terrifying beyond measure!
Through the cracks in the starry sky, one could see a new world: white clouds and blue sky, vast stretches of mountain ranges, and immortal palaces wreathed in the power of desire.
