Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!

Soon, news of the great battle in Lu City reached the Imperial Capital.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from the 'Hidden Guard' has arrived. Lu City was destroyed by the son of the former governor; at a critical moment, Li Bai unleashed his sword art to slay the enemy!"

"In this battle, one Ten-thousand-year Emperor, two Thousand-year Emperors, and over a dozen Ordinary Emperors were killed, along with an unknown number of other powerful experts!"

"However, we have been unable to determine the origin of this group. The techniques they used, drawing on the powers of ancient ferocious beasts, bore a striking resemblance to the methods of the Heretic God Sect!"

Inside the Imperial Study, Jia Xu respectfully delivered the report, presenting a scroll that detailed the events of the battle.

Qin Wudao did not read the report. He simply placed it on the table, a tremor of astonishment in his heart. One of the blind elder's prophecies had already been fulfilled.

If things went as expected, the mysterious individuals who attacked Lu City were experts from the Eternal Temple.

Now, another prophecy remained: Soul Annihilation, the Great Elder of the Eternal Temple, would attack the Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court.

「At the Northern Frontier」

The wind beyond the border was exceptionally bitter. Far from the hustle and bustle, an ancient Great Wall stretched endlessly, guarding the living beings behind it.

"The heavens and earth are vast; a great battle is upon us!"

On the Great Wall, the blind elder, leaning on his cane, managed a smile on his rugged face.

Beside him, Guo Jia stood tall, his left hand resting on his sheathed sword, his right hand behind his back. He gazed silently at the distant sky.

"Shut up! Peace prevails everywhere, how could a great battle break out!" Li Yuanba retorted, glaring at the blind elder.

War meant death!

Although he was a military general, it didn't mean he enjoyed war. Therefore, the blind elder's words sounded like a curse to him.

The blind elder stroked his white beard, offering no rebuttal.

"Someone is coming!"

The silent atmosphere didn't last long. Guo Jia's eyes narrowed, emitting two beams of sword light that punctured the Void.

Tens of thousands of miles away, a figure in a black robe moved through the Void like a phantom, at an incredibly fast speed.

Have I been discovered? Soul Annihilation raised an eyebrow. Across the vast expanse, he locked eyes with Guo Jia. A chilling smile touched his lips, and he suddenly accelerated, shattering a large expanse of the Void.

The next moment, the sky outside the Great Wall turned dark.

Two black chains, imbued with a blood-red murderous aura, shot towards the Great Wall like two black-and-red dragons.

"You were right!" Guo Jia said, turning to the blind elder. He then flew out from the Great Wall. A golden light flashed atop his head, condensing into an ancient book that illuminated half the sky.

Instantly, vast Literary Dao energy erupted from him, forming a sea of literature. Its waves surged, composed of countless characters forming magnificent phrases.

"Confucian Arts: Guardian of All Under Heaven!"

With a wave of Guo Jia's hand, four characters forming 'Impenetrable Defense' flew from the sea of literature, coalescing into a shield. Dao Rhymes flowed across it, rendering it seemingly indestructible.

BOOM!

When the two chains struck, they caused a thunderous explosion, destroying tens of thousands of miles of space-time.

The terrifying shockwaves spread in all directions.

The ground trembled, and bottomless fissures split open one after another.

Thirty miles away, a majestic peak collapsed, sending debris flying and filling the sky with dust.

Ninety miles away, a forest of ancient trees was uprooted, drawn into the chaotic Void, and reduced to dust.

Roughly one hundred eighty-five miles away, a majestic city belonging to the Zixiao Holy Land, which dominated over thirty miles of mountains and rivers, seemed insignificant in the face of the shockwave; it was utterly destroyed, with no survivors.

Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court had the Great Wall's protection, which blocked the entirety of the shockwaves, preventing any damage.

Even so, the commotion from the battle between the Origin Great Emperor Realm experts left the soldiers stationed at the Great Wall dumbfounded, swallowing hard.

If not for the Great Wall's protection, those tens of millions of soldiers would have perished in the shockwaves.

"Seeking death!" Soul Annihilation stepped forward, a vicious light shooting from his eyes. The chains in his hand blazed with a blinding red light, illuminating the Void.

Blood-red killing intent surged across the sky. The two chains tore through the air once more, their power several times greater than before, utterly shattering space-time with overwhelming momentum.

"A great wind rises, the clouds fly! My might covers the lands within the seas, I return to my homeland! Oh, to have fierce warriors guarding the four directions!" Guo Jia roared. Three golden verses flew from the sea of literature, forming a hurricane that swept across the world, causing all things to dim in comparison.

In the great wind, countless golden-armored soldiers brandished their weapons, guarding the empire's borders and pacifying enemies in all four territories!

"Kill!" a golden-armored soldier roared, raising his war sword and leading his army into the charge.

In a daze, the thunder of hooves shook the heavens, and battle cries resounded to the clouds.

The instant they touched the chains, countless golden-armored soldiers vanished like smoke, transforming into motes of golden light that filled the sky. But as soon as they fell, the soldiers behind took their place, fearless of death.

Within a radius of several thousand miles, countless golden specks floated, dense and numerous.

Every golden speck represented a life, the conviction of a fierce warrior.

The great wind blew, their souls returned to their homeland, and peace was secured in all four directions!

The black chains shattered inch by inch, the residual blood-red glow illuminating Soul Annihilation's grim face.

"Governing Brush, emerge!" Guo Jia waved his hand. Countless runes emerged from the sea of literature, projecting a golden light that transformed into a divine brush. It slowly drew a circle around Soul Annihilation.

"Confucian Arts: Imprison by Drawing the Ground!"

What is this? Soul Annihilation was aghast. He suddenly felt the Void being sealed, his power severed. Even the Spiritual Energy within his body became like stagnant water, difficult to circulate.

Guo Jia smiled, holding the divine brush. With heaven and earth as his paper and Spiritual Energy as his ink, he painted a mountain of blades and a sea of fire.

"Confucian Arts: Mountain of Blades, Sea of Fire!"

The sky suddenly darkened. An immense mountain of blades, shimmering with cold light, materialized and descended with crushing force.

The yellow sand on the ground began to transform, forming a sea of fire. Countless fire dragons raged within, causing the temperature of the Void to rise dramatically.

"Myriad Arrows Volley!"

"Soul Shatter, Spirit Disperse!"

"Life Lost to the Yellow Spring..."

Guo Jia continued to paint. Myriad arrows pierced the air, cold light flashing. Countless profound powers manifested, like Death itself descending to destroy everything.

Oh no! Soul Annihilation was terrified, his hair standing on end, and a cold sweat broke out over his body. The shadow of death loomed over him.

He had a premonition: if he allowed these manifestations to land, he would undoubtedly die!

"Master, please bless me!" Soul Annihilation gritted his teeth, white light flashing in his eyes. A faint trace of the Great Dao's power shattered the force sealing the Void.

"Go!"

He infused the chains with this power of the Great Dao and lashed out at the surrounding manifestations. The supreme power forcibly tore open a path to survival.

BOOM!

At that moment, the mountain of blades descended, the sea of fire surged, myriad arrows pierced the air, and the Yellow Spring manifested...

Soul Annihilation dared not resist. With a light tap of his foot, he transformed into a streak of light, escaping through the path torn open by the chains and vanishing into the vast Changkong.

Escaped? Guo Jia waved his hand, and all the manifestations vanished. Only the immense sea of literature remained, its waves blossoming.

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng!"

"Wansheng..."

The soldiers guarding the Great Wall cheered wildly, looking at Guo Jia with admiration in their eyes. The scene of him pacifying the world with a stroke of his brush was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
