Peace Order-Chapter 1565 - 21: The Radiant Overlord

The way of the Military School lies in the grand momentum, in the military formation, in commanding elite troops, gathering the strength of ten thousand, even a hundred thousand, into one.

Thus, every gesture and movement exudes great power.

And the way of the Military School has strategists who harmonize from within, enabling tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of troops, to act in coordination as if they were one, with breath connected, offensive and defensive in perfect union, thereby fully showcasing the fighting capability of the army.

Just like Yuan Zhi, who is such a type, and Fan Qing also falls within this category.

Though he can influence and mobilize the army, unleashing the power of the military formation.

He cannot guide the army to charge into formation, cannot gather the breath of ten thousand or tens of thousands of people onto himself, greatly enhancing his strength to an unimaginable state.

In an era of such extraordinary martial arts, people like Divine Generals and Grandmasters can rival the auspicious signs nurtured by heaven and earth. A truly top-tier Divine General not only possesses martial skills on par with a Grandmaster but also commands top-tier troops, gathering the strength of tens of thousands upon themselves, becoming invincible and unrivaled.

When Li Guanyi’s command capability surpassed the number of one hundred thousand, he experienced a very distinct feeling.

It was as if he were at the bottom of the sea, his limbs restrained by currents that repelled each other, forcing him to hold his breath, constantly ascending towards the surface under these conditions, each increment of a thousand in his leadership capacity bringing increased pressure to his body and Primordial Spirit. By the time he reached ninety thousand, Li Guanyi’s mind felt like it was exploding.

Every muscle, every sinew in his body was groaning, and his Primordial Spirit seemed to be continuously chiselled by someone.

But when he broke through the one hundred thousand mark.

He suddenly felt relieved.

As if he had instantly broken through some barrier.

The previous sensation, as if trapped in a quagmire where even adding one more person would cause his entire command capability to collapse, completely vanished. The undercurrents binding his limbs suddenly became compliant, turning into a kind of assistance.

Li Guanyi commanded these troops, and the Soldier Soul Evil Spirit in his body surged drastically, faintly transforming into a Qilin roaring with its head held high.

The military might of the Overlord’s one hundred thousand troops clashed fiercely with Li Guanyi’s one hundred and ten thousand.

In the midst of killing intent, a formation of clouds forms at three times the speed, the cold sound of clashing weapons echoes through the night!

In an instant, the entire sky, as manifested by the secret realm, seemed to roll down with oppression, the special evil spirit of iron and blood flowing and transforming, as thousands of troops slaughtered each other, the sound of weapon collisions and battle drum roars enough to frighten to death those unaccustomed to such sights!

Li Guanyi and the Overlord’s weapons clashed violently together.

This time—

A tie!

And when the Overlord realized, that this guy whose foundation should not be as strong as his own, seemingly weakened and injured in every encounter, would almost instantly recover to full capacity after mere breaths, he finally understood something.

This youngster from later generations, his foundation is not necessarily much weaker than his own.

Rather, it emphasizes different aspects.

He himself excels in instant explosive power and formidable endurance, sustainability.

While this kid, it’s unclear whether he ate something.

Or trained in some method.

Although his instant explosive power is not as strong as his own.

Yet he possesses the same formidable sustainability that seems never to tire.

And an almost indestructible vitality, always in peak condition.

It’s the same level of foundation, only focusing on different directions. But at this time, the Overlord, whose explosive power surpasses Li Guanyi’s, found himself with an indescribable envy and a touch of sigh over this contemporary person’s foundational style.

Incredible vitality, powerful endurance and sustainability.

If he had possessed such traits back then, would the outcome have been different?

The Overlord said: "You are quite remarkable, adapting so quickly."

"Well then, the warm-up is over, it’s time to get serious."

Li Guanyi held his weapon firmly.

Being at the Boundary Ridge of a hundred thousand command, an infamous general in history.

In the eyes of this peerless Overlord from eight hundred years ago, is this merely a [warm-up]?

The Overlord rode on a Divine Steed resembling a dragon, lifting the weapon in his hand, pointing to the sky, his expression arrogant and commanding.

He wore dark armor, his cloak hung at his back, slightly swaying. Beneath this cloak, soldiers materialized endlessly, all clad in heavy armor, their eyes blazing intensely as they fervently watched the Overlord’s back. This was the power of the Stargazing Lineage, harnessing starlight to record past images of the world, recreating a scene of the past based on the imprints of heroes’ minds.

The Overlord at his full peak once.

Once needed the whole Nine Provinces of heroes united to jointly crusade before they could defeat the strongest hero.

The soldier’s eyes were filled with fiery, passionate light.

It’s as if they were not merely illusions created by the Shaking Light Lineage’s techniques.

Rather, they were the actual comrades behind the Overlord in the past, who followed him on his crusades across the world, crossing eight hundred years of time to gather behind him once again.

Ji Zichang was toppled by the momentum of the army might created in this secret realm, retreating repeatedly. Watching the Overlord and Prince Qin seemingly draw to a tie, for a moment he was somewhat dazed, finding it hard to believe. Then, as the Overlord’s army for world conquest appeared again, during his fleeting daze, he suddenly heard a series of clear and intricate shattering sounds, causing Ji Zichang to pause slightly then lower his head to look.
