Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 109: Sweeping the Sky Fire Region _1

Yinshan Pass!

Here, Lv Bu had stationed his army of a million soldiers, awaiting the opportune moment to strike. Above the pass walls, elite troops garbed in armor and wielding sharp weapons patrolled vigilantly. Their eyes, sharp as eagles, scanned the area outside the pass, ready to detect any disturbance at the first sign. The tragedy of Lanping Pass must not happen again!

Opposite Yinshan Pass, the legions of the Holy Fire Sect gathered from all directions, an endless sea of soldiers bristling with Evil Qi as they faced off against the Qin Empire. Anyone with discerning eyes knew that the Holy Fire Sect was no match for the Qin Empire. As soldiers, however, they must obey orders, defend their homes and nation, and repel the invasion!

The air was thick with tension; a storm was about to break.

By the time the light of the following day illuminated the earth, a vast amount of supplies had reached Yinshan Pass. By noon, smoke billowed from the fortifications as the aroma of mouth-watering food wafted down. The million soldiers ate heartily, no one uttering a word. Even during mealtime, they kept their armor on and their weapons within reach, ever ready for battle. They all knew the war was about to begin.

There’s an old saying: before the troops can move, provisions must come first. The reason Lv Bu had not yet attacked was that he was waiting for these supplies. Now, with ample food, weapons, and medicinal pills, they were prepared for anything.

"General, our men are well-fed and rested. We can go to battle now!" an officer reported loudly in the command hall, his gaze ablaze with fighting spirit.

Upon hearing this, all the officers within the hall rose simultaneously. Their eager eyes fixed on Lv Bu, anticipating his order, each hoping to be named commander of the vanguard. Being the vanguard was an honor, a testament to one’s strength. Moreover, the vanguard was tasked with clearing roads, bridging rivers, and eliminating the enemy’s advance units—the easiest way to accumulate military merit.

"The Crown Prince has ordered us to unify the nine major domains as soon as possible," Lv Bu announced as he stood up. His towering figure was clad in blood-colored armor, radiating a powerful aura. Dominance flared in his eyes. "Therefore, I will personally lead this battle, aiming to conquer the Fire Domain within five days!" He, the peerless general, longed for a battle.

The officers were thrilled by his ambition. Conquer a domain within five days? Who in the millions of years of the nine major domains’ history had ever accomplished such a feat?

"Relay the order: the entire army is to attack!" Lv Bu commanded, his gaze fixed on the distance beyond the hall’s gate, his killing intent coalescing.

"As you command!" the officers saluted. They exchanged intense glances, the hunger for blood and battle reflected in each other’s eyes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A quarter of an hour later, war drums thundered over Yinshan Pass. The sound, like rolling thunder, echoed for hundreds of miles, shattering the clouds in the sky as if to wash a vast expanse of Changkong clean.

The order was relayed from the Holy Fire Sect’s side: "Prepare for battle!" Naturally, the booming war drums also reached the ears of the Holy Fire Sect’s soldiers.

In a temporarily erected fortification, Gray Bishop Duan Shouming clutched his war sword. He issued his orders with a heavy heart, a bitter smile on his face as he gazed at the majestic pass not far away.

It wasn’t like this a year ago! Back then, the Holy Fire Sect was full of vigor, its strength far surpassing that of the Qin Empire. They had led their forces in an invasion, an imposing and valiant sight. That battle, however, marked the beginning of the Holy Fire Sect’s decline. The Pope had been killed, and nearly half of their elite soldiers had perished. Had it not been for the Changeable Mansion’s intervention, the Holy Fire Sect would have long since become dust in the annals of history. Even though they had barely survived, the Pope’s lineage had lost control over the Holy Fire Sect.

"Fight!" Duan Shouming commanded.

Following his order, only some troops from the Gray Legion moved; the other legions remained stationary, looking to their respective commanders.

Then, White Bishop Jiang Tiansheng, Green Bishop Jin Yihua, Blue Bishop You Yiliang, and Red Bishop Ma Yunheng stepped forward, drew their swords, and bellowed, "Relay the order! Prepare for battle!"

"Relay the order! Prepare for battle!"

"Relay the order..."

BOOM!

Only then did their millions of soldiers begin to mobilize, forming ranks for battle. They fixed their gazes on Yinshan Pass, their eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, including a trace of fear. They had all heard of the Qin Empire’s fearsome reputation and knew it was backed by a Saint.

The war has just begun; surely the Saint won’t intervene yet, right? an old soldier mused, his eyes filled with worry. The palm gripping his weapon was already damp with sweat, and many soldiers shared his apprehension. If they knew that Lv Bu himself would take action in this battle, their morale would likely shatter, and the army would collapse before the first clash.

The four bishops stood at the front of the army, casting satisfied glances at Duan Shouming. Admittedly, the feeling of standing above others was quite pleasant. But they had no idea what a terrifying scene they were about to witness.

BOOM!

High above Yinshan Pass, a pillar of blood-red light surged into the Ninth Heaven. It seemed as if it would pierce through heaven and earth, and its suffocating killing intent dyed the surrounding Void crimson. Within the endless bloody light, a blurry figure stood tall between heaven and earth. From a distance, it appeared to be propping up the heavens with its head and treading upon the earth with its feet.

"What is that?" soldiers of the Holy Fire Sect cried out, staring wide-eyed and bewildered at the sight, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts.

"This is..." Duan Shouming, Jiang Tiansheng, Jin Yihua, You Yiliang, and Ma Yunheng, with their higher cultivation levels, vaguely sensed an extraordinarily powerful aura emanating from the bloody light, but they couldn’t ascertain its true strength.

"Not good! Run!" cried the two Holy Fire Sect old ancestors who had been hiding in the shadows. A mere glance at the blood-red figure terrified them out of their wits, and they immediately turned to flee. They were certain that the bloody figure was none other than Saint Lv Bu!

"Slash!" a majestic voice echoed through heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, the Fangtian Huaji descended. It formed a beam of halberd energy wreathed in blood-light that slashed across the sky. Evil Qi surged, shaking the heavens as the beam shot towards the Holy Fire Sect’s army.

RUMBLE!

The Void violently collapsed! All creation seemed to fall silent in devastation!

The beam of halberd energy carved a destructive path, a nascent trench thousands of feet long, surging from Yinshan Pass towards the Holy Fire Sect’s encampment. It generated a sky full of fierce gales, and even before the main impact, the Sect’s temporary encampment began to collapse under the immense pressure.

BOOM!

With a deafening explosion, the ground trembled violently. A massive trench, now several thousand feet long and hundreds of feet deep, was permanently gouged into the earth, like an enormous scar. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were instantly obliterated, reduced to dust!

"GULP!"

The surviving Martial Artists stared at the enormous trench and the pervasive stench of blood in the air, swallowing hard. They understood now: the one who had attacked was a Saint!

RUMBLE!

At that moment, another shockwave rippled outwards, spreading for tens of miles before dissipating without a trace.

"AH!"

"AH!"

Two breaths later, a pair of bloodcurdling screams echoed from a hundred miles away, chilling all who heard them.

"Our ancestors... have fallen..." Duan Shouming whispered, frozen in place. He knew those voices all too well; they belonged to the last two Saint Realm Martial Artists of the Duan Family.

Now, they were all dead.

In his daze, he saw the last embers of the Holy Fire Sect flickering out.

Duan Shouming looked up at Lv Bu, thinking with despair, Heaven intends to exterminate the Holy Fire Sect!
