Chapter 1033: Final Battle
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Before the attack ended, the 1,000 Imperial Guards’ bodies had already started to disintegrate. It was not only them. Even the surrounding atmosphere under their feet had started to collapse.
However, at this moment, a cold snort rang out in Ye Ran’s mind, breaking off this move that overturned this world.
At the next moment, all the disintegrating matter started to recover. A power that was even stronger, more pressurizing, and more domineering than the world’s powers came down and returned everything to their original state.
Since you want to overturn the world, then I will just suppress it with brute force.
This was the Crown Princess using her martial will to stop the overturning powers of the world.
Concurrently, Ye Ran looked in shock as the long pole arm in his hand was stopped at the tip by a fair and tender finger, unable to advance a single inch more.
Even the powers throughout his entire body were unable to erupt. Like an amber that had congealed, he froze up in midair, unable to move.
The muscles throughout his entire body kept on fluctuating, and as essential Qis flowed, intense pain spread from his veins and acupuncture points. However, no matter how hard he tried to struggle, he was unable to break free from the other party’s confinement.
He looked in horror at this lady before him, not because of her unrivaled beauty but because of her exceptional cultivation level.
“How is this possible?
‘How can she be this strong?
‘To think that I... I can’t even push her back by even one step?’
The Crown Princess’ fingertip flicked lightly, and the crimson red pole arm turned into dust. Ye Ran also seemed as if he had been struck by lightning, with a huge sound ringing out from his chest as he was sent flying outward. His head collided into the Divine Martial Pass’ ruins, sending up dust and causing countless rock pieces to shatter even further.
Fang Wangshu’s body turned into a wisp of smoke and leaped out. Under the Crown Princess’ intentional control, he had not died from the earlier attack.
He quickly ran over to Ye Ran’s position and saw Ye Ran who now looked like a battered cloth sack.
“To think that even though your cultivation level is at tier five of the Divine level, you were able to condense everyone’s powers and strike out an attack at the level of tier six of the Divine level. The martial arts in this world still have their redeeming qualities.”
As the Crown Princess’ voice rang out, she slowly landed down before Ye Ran and Fang Wangshu.
Ye Ran’s breathing became increasingly rushed like he had reached the final moments of his life. He stared at the Crown Princess and said, “Was that your full power earlier?”
“Full power?” The Crown Princess threw a glance at the dying Ye Ran and said indifferently, “It’s not even 10% of my powers.”
A hint of despair flashed in Ye Rans eyes. He understood that his foster father did not have a chance. Unable to accept this, he breathed his last.
The Crown Princess shook her head. She had thought of Ye Ran as a person with great potential and wanted to take him in under her. However, after having a bit of contact with him, she understood that he was someone who would definitely not surrender. Therefore, she did not make any attempt to save him.
Fang Wangshu looked at this scene in a daze. His gaze showed that he seemed to be at a loss.
The Crown Princess did not leave hurriedly. She ordered the Imperial Guards to clean up the scene and also spread the news about what had happened to the Divine Martial Pass. Then she stationed herself here.
She knew that as news of the Divine Martial Pass spread out, her road of conquering the other places would be a lot smoother.
Things turned out as she had expected. That night, several ten groups of people hovered several thousand meters away. When they saw the Divine Martial Pass’ ruins and the country’s flag standing tall, all of them retreated rapidly.
It could be said that this battle between the Great Jin Dynasty and Prince Xin was one which received the attention of countless formidable people as well as influences. The matter of whether Prince Xin was able to take down Jing Region at one go, seize a tremendous amount of resources, and rule was something that would have a great impact on the world’s future trends.
However, no one had expected that the Great Jin Dynasty—which was previously seen as being in an extremely waned state and that all was lost for it—seemed as if it had now been reborn. They had defeated the 50,000 soldiers at the Divine Martial Pass, taken down two of Prince Xin’s powerful armies, and Prince Xin’s strongest subordinate—Ye Ran.
This news spread out like a tornado and was made known to everyone within the next month.
Regardless of whether it was the many formidable characters in Li Region—which was close to the Jing Region—or the other members of the Great Jin Dynasty’s royal family who were situated far away from the Divine Capital but were eager to take action, including Prince Ding, Prince An, and Prince Yi, they were all astonished by this piece of news.
When the volunteer army in the south heard of this, they also accelerated their battle plans.
Of course, in comparison to them, the various major influences in Serene Region seemed to become even more agitated after hearing this news. Countless aristocratic clans, officials, and militants who had just joined Prince Xin’s side started to hesitate.
The Crown Princess did not stay in the Divine Martial Pass for too long. After stationing there for seven days and ensuring that there was enough time for the news to spread, she moved 10,000 soldiers over and then slowly headed for the closest county in Serene Region.
With the Crown Princess leading the force personally, the Divine Martial Pass taken down, Ye Ran’s death being made as an example, and Fang Wangshu’s persuasion for them to surrender, the Crown Princess met almost zero resistance.
Even when Prince Xin received this news, he gave the order to withdraw his forces and had them gather in Serene Region’s capital—Qing City.
A total of 250,000 soldiers were gathered. They comprised of Prince Xin’s direct forces of over 200,000 men and the several ten thousand soldiers he had just recruited in Serene Region. He had clearly given up on the rest of the counties.
Many people understood that Prince Xin was intending to gather all of his forces and fight to the death with the Crown Princess.
With that, the Crown Princess faced even less resistance than before when she led her army to pass through the various places. Within a mere one month, all of the places in Serene Region had been taken over. The Crown Princess scattered several thousand soldiers across these counties to provide her with assistance in ruling over them.
After going around the entire Serene Region, the Crown Princess finally led the remaining 5,000 men and arrived outside Serene Region’s capital—Qing City.
With the arrival of the imperial court’s forces, the entire Qing City was in an extremely jittery state.
Prince Xin sat in the study with a pale countenance. There were faint signs of blood in his eyes. He no longer had the vigor and demeanor he had in the past.
Just then, three figures suddenly appeared before him.
Looking at the three figures in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in Prince Xin’s eyes.
“You guys have finally come.”
After receiving news that Ye Ran, as well as the Abyss Tiger and Steel Formation armies, had been annihilated easily, Prince Xin understood that even if he had a 250,000-man army under him, he still did not have absolute confidence in gaining victory.
After all, Ye Ran had been his strongest subordinate, and the Abyss Tiger and Steel Formation armies had been his strongest troops. The Disha Realm experts in the two armies had been the result of his painstaking efforts of the past few decades.
Since they had been defeated, then the 250,000-man army he had would not be able to hold up for long either.
Therefore, he just kept waiting. He was waiting for the support from the Three Mountains Four Peaks.
Prince Xin said anxiously, “The entire imperial court is probably already being controlled by the Demon Sect. Right now, this group of demonic beings from the Demon Sect has made their return and this affects the world’s safety...”
One of the three figures stopped him from going on and said indifferently, “Don’t be exaggerating things. That person isn’t from the Demon Sect at all.”
“Not from the Demon Sect...” Prince Xin uttered. Stunned for a short moment, he paused before saying, “Then... Then who is that Marie? Isn’t she the Illusory Emotions Path’s Zhao Yinglan?”
“They are much more powerful than the Demon Sect,” that person said calmly. “Alright, we shan’t say anymore. Let’s just wait until that person has arrived.”
“That person?” Prince Xin’s gaze narrowed slightly. The three people standing in front of him were already people with extremely high statuses amongst the Three Mountains Four Peaks. What kind of important character would it be for them to have to wait for?
