Chapter 2469 - 2436: The Twentieth Generation Dari Swordsman Zhan Yang

A chilling silence.

The fury and murderous intent of the Emperor Realm Cultivator filled this part of the starry sky, making it incredibly oppressive.

"This has been a long-standing issue, accumulated over countless years. It’s not something that can change overnight, so I won’t say much."

"It’s a fact that our abilities are lacking, and we must acknowledge it."

Emperor Yuanri sneered coldly, saying, "But being afraid of battle, fleeing during confrontation, is just incomprehensible. Haha, fleeing at the sight of the enemy... If the sages of the past saw this, they probably wouldn’t believe it, right?"

"Is it true that we are their descendants?"

"Fleeing upon encountering the enemy, leading to collapse, is what defines the group that shouts that Immortal Sect Citizens are the most excellent race in the universe, representing the most advanced productivity in the cosmos."

"A bunch of trash."

The icy voice echoed.

In fact, such a combat outcome truly shouldn’t be.

The Immortal Sect Fleet isn’t the fleet from the past Nine Spirits Realm era; encountering the enemy doesn’t mean massive casualties. On the contrary, it marks the prelude to the deployment of the second-level spatial array, with a more terrifying massacre about to ensue. This is the classical tactic from the Immortal Dynasty era.

Yet, when the enemy approached, they collapsed and fled on their own.

"Order!"

"Retrieve the battle data of Group 2231 Fleet. Anyone who fled during combat, regardless of being an officer or soldier, will be executed immediately. Anyone who persists in fighting will be promoted beyond their rank."

Emperor Yuanri spoke calmly.

This was an extremely cruel order, meaning that at least over ten billion citizens would be executed directly, and he had issued such orders at least ten times!

This was the reason why so many citizen representatives in Ziwei Tianzhu opposed him, even going so far as to call for the execution of the Immortal Sect Emperor Realm Cultivator.

The surrounding advisors hesitated and didn’t move.

"This..."

"Commander, this really is... Over at Tianzhu..."

One advisor stammered.

These were all his confidants, shared honor and disgrace, worrying about him, about his safety.

"Just carry it out."

"No need for hesitation."

Emperor Yuanri said indifferently, "If they want to execute me, let them do it, but citizens must undergo iron and blood tempering again; those who flee during confrontation must die!"

"It’s a citizen’s obligation!"

"Where do citizens’ benefits come from?"

"Huh?"

Emperor Yuanri couldn’t help but roar, "It comes from battle and slaughter, from blood and fire, from victory! Not from some innate nobility!"

"If citizens believe they are innately noble, they should not fear death, nor hardship!"

"Without such awareness, let them all die!"

"Go and die!"

The murderous intent of the Emperor Realm Cultivator surged like tides, stirring gigantic waves.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"

The surrounding advisors were taken aback, quickly rushing to execute and execute those fleeing citizens.

For a moment, the scene fell quiet.

"Millennium!"

"Give me another millennium! Tianzhu, grant me more patience!"

Emperor Yuanri whispered, "After a millennium of blood and fire, sacrifice, dedication, and death, we can definitely awaken the citizens’ belligerence once more, awaken that unbeatable army representing the highest combat level in the endless starry sky, awaken our military spirit. Then, the Immortal Sect will once again stand proudly in the endless starry sky!"

"Zhan Yang Quasi-Emperor, you must give me time... time."

The voice of this Immortal Sect Emperor Realm Cultivator was filled with lament, every word like blood.

Zhan Yang Quasi-Emperor.

The 20th Dari Swordsman of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, at only seven hundred thousand years old, so young, so terrifying, the absolute Commander of Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers.

Compared to the previous Heavenly Destruction Sword Son, he is mature and steady, adept at politics, capable of rallying various forces, adept at lying low. When each Candidate Swordsman shone brightly in the endless starry sky, becoming famous time and again, responding repeatedly to the Immortal Sect’s encirclements, he made no sound.

But then, at some point, he suddenly emerged!

Like a brilliant meteor streaking across the sky, he swiftly killed all the Candidate Swordsmen, won the allegiance of all Great Sun Sword Cultivators, reorganized and restructured the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Soldiers, faced the hastily arriving 10th Deep Space Annihilation Fleet of the Immortal Sect, he won one battle, slaughtered billions of citizen fleets, stacking their heads into a mound.

These heads remained piled in the Celestial Zither Star Realm, and every citizen’s distorted face and resentment were clearly visible.

The Immortal Sect has consistently tried to reclaim the Celestial Zither Star Realm and destroy the humiliating mound, but never succeeded. Now it has been pushed to the Vega Star Domain front line.

After accomplishing all this, Zhan Yang Quasi-Emperor showed even more formidable political capabilities.

He established the Rebel Immortal Alliance, binding together the chaotic anti-Immortal Sect forces, fully respecting each party’s interests, ruthlessly striking down any forces that disobeyed him, and fully integrating the Rebel Immortal Alliance.

Thus, the post-Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor Era’s endless starry sky has this background color, where all cultivators and forces must acknowledge the existence of the Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor Dao Soldiers. The importance of political skills has reached an extremely high degree; it’s no longer about one person battling the world alone. This Candidate Swordsman, emerging from countless real battlefields, fits so coincidentally.

This generation’s Dari Swordsman perfectly matches the current endless starry sky battlefield, terrifying enough to cause despair.

Know that he is only a Quasi-Emperor!

Everyone knows he can ascend to the Emperor Realm at any moment but chooses not to. He aims to build a deeper foundation, to amend the regret of the 19th Heavenly Destruction Sword Son, striving for innovative breakthroughs on the path of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, to break out of the confines of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, achieving a true Great Sun Sword Immortal!

He seeks to condense a true Original Ancient Talisman!

For this goal, he is willing to die, willing to give it all!

The brutal battles in the Vega Star Domain continue.

Countless citizens die in battle every moment, countless citizens flee crying, no longer shouting all day about warfare, slaughter, conquest, citizen innate nobility.

Meanwhile, the number of citizens dying under Emperor Yuanri’s orders keeps increasing.

Many have estimated that at least a trillion citizens have been executed by his hands due to poor combat performance, making this Emperor Realm Cultivator widely hated throughout the Immortal Sect, with nearly every citizen longing to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Endless waves of opposition and impeachment surge towards Ziwei Tianzhu.

These terrifying waves of opposition are coldly thwarted by numerous senior Immortal Sect Cultivators.

The Central Array Spirit Computer has also broken free from the citizens’ information shields over the years, activating the wartime system, executing those stirring up dissent within the Immortal Sect and inciting public opinion to execute front-line Emperor Realm Cultivators using even more cruel and terrifying means than Emperor Yuanri.

In just one day, countless citizens faced execution.

Suddenly, the entire Immortal Sect fell silent.

Many people awoke to the realization that the Central Array Spirit Computer is the cultural heritage birthed by the sages during the war years; normally, it may be swayed by public opinion and blinded by internal citizens.

But when the Immortal Sect faces a life-and-death crisis, the Central Array Spirit Computer immediately displays chilling cruelty.
