Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1018 - 1028: Picking Up the Spoils

Chu Feng stood atop the reef tower of Black Water City, raising his voice in command.

To make all the enemy forces believe that the Panlong Heavenly Emperor was dead, he took the Imperial Jade Seal of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom out from the Panlong Heavenly Emperor's storage ring.

This was the Emperor Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

When the enemy forces saw this seal in Chu Feng's hands, combined with the fall of Black Water City and the Great Chu's battle flag flying atop the city walls.

The enemy forces' morale suffered an unprecedented blow.

With their nation obliterated, what was the point in resisting further? It would be better to surrender to the Great Chu Empire; only by living can they bring hope to their families.

These enemy troops were mostly the elite of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. Behind every insignificant soldier was a family, big or small. Their loved ones are waiting for their return.

They needed them to provide care.

"Brothers, surrender! Continuing to fight is worthless."

A commanding general was the first to abandon resistance and loudly urged his subordinates to surrender together.

The general had great influence over his soldiers.

"Spare us, Emperor of Great Chu! We surrender!"

Outside Black Water City, the enemy forces indeed had no options for retreat or advance. The only path was death.

Now, Chu Feng offered them the chance to surrender, and they hesitated no longer.

Huge swathes of enemy troops knelt to the ground, discarding their helmets and armor, opting to surrender.

In this battle, the Great Chu Empire achieved a resounding victory.

The Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom at this point was no more than a name, because all its top experts and elite troops were here.

The remaining cities would soon be swept through by Wen Shu and other commanders under Chu Feng's command.

With this battle, the Great Chu Empire expanded its territory once again, its strength more than doubling.

Not to mention anything else, just the absorption of these surrendered forces was enough to double the strength of the Great Chu Empire. From now on, all territories of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom would become the land of the Great Chu Empire.

The Great Chu Empire truly became the strongest nation in the Divine Martial Continent.

Chu Feng, this Emperor, would probably, before long, intimidate the Divine Martial Continent, making everyone eagerly discuss his legendary figure in teahouses and taverns.

The unluckiest would probably be the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom.

Two million elite troops, plus over two thousand experts above the Sword God level. This loss was definitely not small.

The strength of the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom was instantly weakened by at least half.

And this was just the first step. Next, the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom would face the mad retaliation of the Great Chu Empire. The only path awaiting it might be that of national destruction.

"Reporting to the Emperor, urgent military news has come from the rear of Great Chu, saying that the Vermilion Bird Emperor is leading an army, having broken through Tangchi Pass and advancing here." A general responsible for intelligence quickly rushed over, clutching an urgent military report.

"That despicable scoundrel, the Vermilion Bird Emperor, is planning to pick the spoils!" Chu Feng revealed a faint wicked smile.

Since the enemy offered themselves, what else was there to say? Of course, it meant accepting it all.

"Wen Shu, you train and manage these reformed surrendering troops. Don't rush to occupy new cities for now. Just focus on completely absorbing these surrendering forces."

"Sect Leader Fang, Northern Soul, Junzi Sword, Pang De, along with your two thousand top experts from the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom. All experts above the Sword God level, prepare to face the Vermilion Bird Emperor's army with me. We must give them a colossal surprise, showing that shameless Vermilion Bird Emperor just how terrifying our top-tier troops of the Great Chu Empire can be!"

Many years ago, Chu Feng dreamed of one day forming a super army.

At the very least, it had to be composed of Sword Saint level and above.

Now, he held the dominion of the Great Chu Empire, having absorbed a lot of top experts from the enemy. Gradually gathering strength, he finally amassed a vast number of Sword God experts.

Adding up experts from various sides, it would certainly not be fewer than ten thousand.

Under Chu Feng's command, numerous experts dared not delay and promptly took action.

A terrifying army composed of Ten Thousand Sword Gods and Supreme Sword God was ready to go.

"Set out!"

At the command, this super army took flight on their swords, heading at an astonishing speed toward the direction of Tangchi Pass.

The enemy troops were certainly rushing here at the fastest speed too.

Chu Feng believed that even with the Vermilion Bird Emperor's advanced intelligence system, at most, they had just gotten the news of the Great Chu Empire's resounding victory. The Great Chu Empire wasn't a marketplace; it wasn't a place he could come and go as he wished.

...

The Vermilion Bird Emperor was an exceedingly cunning person, with deep schemes and thorough calculations.

This time, after learning that the Great Chu Empire was fighting intensely with the two heavenly kingdoms, Xuanwu and Azure Dragon, he immediately led the most elite troops of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country, rushing to reap the benefits as a bystander.

As the rear of the Great Chu Empire was empty, with nearly all forces concentrated on the frontline, clashing with the two great heavenly kingdoms.

Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Emperor effortlessly led the army to break through Tangchi Pass.

"All forces, increase marching speed. We must appear suddenly when the Great Chu Empire and the two great heavenly kingdoms, Azure Dragon and Xuanwu, are both wounded badly. By then, our Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country could annihilate both the Great Chu and Azure Dragon countries at once. The remaining Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom won't last long. As for the Divine Baihu Kingdom, well, it's a coward."

"In any case, my grand talents will lead the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country to accomplish an eternal hegemony, unifying the Divine Martial Continent."

The Vermilion Bird Emperor grew more excited as he spoke.

Over the years, those able to unify the Divine Martial Continent haven't appeared often.

However, throughout history, there have only been one or two at most.

Suddenly, a demon bird flew down from the sky. On its leg was tied an urgent secret message.

Within the Great Chu Empire, the Vermilion Bird Emperor had planted spies.

This sort of thing was utterly ineliminable.

Just as the Great Chu Empire had spies planted in other heavenly countries. Enemy countries simply couldn't prevent it.

"Could it be that the fighting ended so quickly?" The Vermilion Bird Emperor's face changed slightly, a doubt gnawing at him.

At least there were millions of troops; it should take about seven days and nights, no?

With an anxious heart, he opened the secret message.

"Battlefield changes, Great Chu triumphs!" Just eight words, and they were hurriedly written.

Evidently, the military situation was pressing, and the environment was complex. The spies planted by the Vermilion Bird Emperor only had time to hastily pen these words.

"Great Chu triumphs? Could it be, the Great Chu Empire scored a great victory?"

"How could this be possible? Even if there were a victory, it should be the stronger Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom or Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom claiming it."

The Vermilion Bird Emperor was completely stunned.

He didn't understand why the battlefield situation suddenly turned, resulting in another miracle by the Great Chu Empire. Could it be... Chu Feng of the Great Chu Empire had awakened from seclusion?

The Vermilion Bird Emperor pondered over and over, the only plausible reason he could think of was this.

The monstrous ability of Chu Feng left a profound impression on the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

"Order the entire army, retreat immediately! Quickly!"

The Vermilion Bird Emperor roared frantically, his mood reaching its nadir.
