Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng-Chapter 277
Chapter 277
The ruler of a dynasty? What kind of existence was that?
Absolutely the unshakable pillar of their entire nation!
Even with the age-old saying “No Nine Provinces Emperor is weak,” almost no one had ever actually seen an Emperor fight. The reason was simple: wise men don’t stand under crumbling walls. Besides, a dynasty had countless elite soldiers, powerful generals, and top-tier experts.
If it reached a point where the Emperor had to step in…
It meant the dynasty was truly at its wit’s end, usually only seen when a dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Therefore…
As Temujin descended from his throne, utter shock filled everyone’s eyes! The Emperor is fighting?!
“Great Khan, you mustn’t! Absolutely not!” An official wailed.
“Your servants have failed! This is our crime!” Another kowtowed frantically.
“This old servant can still fight to the death! Great Khan, you absolutely cannot fight personally!” An old minister, tears streaming down his face.
“That Ning Changge is a vicious criminal! Your Majesty’s body is worth ten thousand gold pieces! Why lower yourself to his level?!”
Countless officials prostrated themselves, some old ministers even weeping uncontrollably. Guilt and panic filled their eyes. If a dynasty had fallen to the point where its Emperor had to personally take the field, it was a profound failure on the part of its ministers.
Temujin just waved his hand dismissively, his gaze fixed on the distant Ning Changge, slowly shaking his head. Fools. His ministers included strong individuals, sure, but that was only relative to ordinary people. Before Ning Changge, they were no different from ants. He knew if they tried to fight, it would just be sending them to their deaths.
“He slaughtered my people! This Emperor must personally slay this villain to vent the hatred in my heart!” Temujin’s voice was ice-cold.
Suddenly…
FWOOM! An overwhelming, domineering aura erupted from him, blasting skywards! The Imperial Dao Fortune that had been swirling around the heavens finally seemed to find its master, its conduit! It began to boil violently! Strand after strand of potent fortune-power infused into Temujin, making his presence seem even more profound, immeasurably deep! Power UP!
The Mongol Yuan capital city…
This was his home ground! My domain!
Elsewhere, even with the boost from Imperial Dao Fortune, Temujin’s strength would be comparable to a peak expert of the Nine Provinces, perhaps not even as strong as Xiao Sanxiao. But here, in his capital, his power surged exponentially! Limitless power!
He reached a level that even Xiao Sanxiao and Wu Wudi could only look up to in awe! So strong!
Xiao Sanxiao’s expression turned grave. Just as I thought…
“Indeed! A dynasty ruler of Temujin’s caliber, further enhanced by Dynasty Fortune… almost no one in the Nine Provinces’ martial world can match him!” He’s a monster now!
“Legend says that in ancient times, before dynasties rose to prominence, martial arts sects also possessed their own accumulated fortune. Martial experts back then could wield far greater power than now because they also had the boost of fortune-power.” The good old days…
“But now… fortune-power is monopolized by the dynasties. It has become the exclusive domain of their rulers.” Unfair!
He looked at the power swirling around Temujin, a flicker of longing in his eyes, quickly replaced by resignation. Sigh. Establishing a dynasty? Easier said than done. It required not just talent in martial cultivation, but also the ability to judge character, manage people, command armies, and seize crucial opportunities. Most importantly, becoming a dynastic ruler was also a shackle.
If the dynasty falls, the Emperor perishes. No escape.
Far less free and unrestrained than a powerful martial artist. Acquiring fortune-power always came with a price.
Actually…
In his four thousand years of long life, Xiao Sanxiao had encountered opportunities to establish his own dynasty. But he ultimately chose to forgo that path. He wanted to continue pursuing the peak of martial arts, to break through its ultimate shackles. My path is different.
Unfortunately…
He still hadn’t succeeded. So close, yet so far.
Until he emerged from seclusion this time… and heard the rumors about Ning Changge.
“The Immortal Dao… Could it be the true destination of martial arts?” He wondered, his eyes filled with complexity.
A sense of unwillingness gnawed at him. It can’t be… He always felt martial arts should have more to it, but alas, his talent, like countless predecessors, couldn’t break that final barrier.
As Xiao Sanxiao’s mind raced with these thoughts, he saw Temujin step onto the battlefield where the two Army Souls clashed.
At this moment…
The Heavenly Wolf Divine General and the Immortal General with the Giant Spear were fighting with incredible intensity! BAM! CRASH! BOOM! Vast energies collided constantly, making the very void tremble! But it was clear: cracks were beginning to appear on the Heavenly Wolf Divine General’s form! It’s breaking!
No matter how desperately the Kheshig soldiers below poured their power into it, the repairs couldn’t keep up with the rate of destruction! Too fast!
Temujin’s eyes narrowed. Time to step in.
He had to intervene!
The Emperor strode through the air! He slowly pushed out his right fist! WHOOSH! Instantly, the deafening howl of a Heavenly Wolf echoed! Even the distant Jianghu onlookers heard it with terrifying clarity! This wolf’s roar didn’t just resonate within the city; it felt like it was sounding throughout the entire Mongol Yuan Dynasty! AWOOOOOOOO! (Dynasty Roar!)
BOOM!!!
From Temujin’s right fist, a pure white Heavenly Wolf, formed of condensed fortune-power and his unique Imperial True Force, burst forth! Though just an energy construct, it looked terrifyingly alive! A real wolf!
This White Heavenly Wolf radiated unparalleled might! Its claws tore at the Giant Spear! SLASH!
CRASH!!!
A shattering tremor!
The crowd gasped in horror! The Immortal General with the Giant Spear… was actually forced back! No way!
