Chapter 267: Chapter 185: The World

Saint Hong let out a low shout and immediately entered the third stage, activating five percent of his Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon Bloodline!

Saint Hong’s form swelled once more, growing to a height of thirty feet. His hands and feet transformed into draconic claws, and the Chaos Energy emanating from his body shot straight into the heavens!

"Demon Dragon Breath!"

This was the first Demon Fiend Skill of the Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon bloodline, distinct from Lu Changfeng’s Modified Ancient Demon Dragon.

Demon Dragon Breath was a terrifying, corrosive energy ejected from the body. It was a fusion of Chaos Energy and Dragon Power, capable of corroding anything in existence!

Saint Hong opened his mouth, and a column of black-gray energy shot out. It pierced the clouds, striking the thousand-foot Spirit Sword that was slashing down from the sky!

The thousand-foot Spirit Sword’s advance halted, and its tip immediately began to melt.

Saint Hong channeled the Dragon Essence within him, increasing the attack’s power. The black pillar of light formed by his Demon Dragon Breath swelled, its momentum surging once more. It utterly annihilated the thousand-foot Spirit Sword, reducing it to nothingness!

"The Daliang Sword Saint is nothing special after all!"

In his third stage, Saint Hong’s speed reached a terrifying Mach 2. The distance between them was short enough that he appeared before Pei Yuanshi in an instant. A single punch sent Pei Yuanshi blasting out from the clouds.

Saint Hong gave chase. His thirty-foot body relentlessly pummeled Pei Yuanshi. Before Saint Hong, the Sword Saint was like a ragdoll, sent flying only to be smashed back again, tumbling helplessly through the clouds.

After taking hundreds of blows from Saint Hong, a crisp CRACK echoed from Pei Yuanshi’s Celestial Spirit Body.

Then, with one final punch from Saint Hong, the Celestial Spirit Body shattered completely.

"I... have lost..."

Pei Yuanshi murmured, his body disintegrating into motes of dust in the wind, drifting far away.

Saint Hong slowly disengaged his third stage. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body staggering.

At his current level, even Saint Hong found the third stage of the Ancient Chaos Demon Dragon difficult to withstand. Activating it, even for a short time, had injured him.

Two figures shot over from the distance, intending to support Saint Hong.

It was two Demon Dragon Guards.

Saint Hong waved them away and slowly descended from the sky.

Pei Yuanshi’s death threw the Daliang Martial Arts Army into a complete panic.

"The four of you, move out. Find everyone from the Daliang Secret Domain and eliminate them," Saint Hong commanded slowly.

Over the past few decades, the Holy Country’s understanding of Daliang had, of course, grown far deeper.

The Daliang Secret Realm Cruel Officials and key figures within the Blue-clothed Guard were all on the Holy Country’s internal kill list.

The four Demon Dragon Guards were all in the Primordial Spirit Body Realm. Though they lacked the Demon God Body, if they were to unleash their full power, each one was capable of fighting Pei Yuanshi to the death.

The Demon Dragon Guards vanished from Saint Hong’s side.

Before long, the Demon Dragon Guards appeared all across the battlefield.

They were incredibly powerful, possessing the same Demon Fiend Bloodline as Saint Hong. In their hands, the fearsome Daliang Cruel Officials were as easy to deal with as puppets.

With the Demon Dragon Guards joining the fight, the Daliang Martial Arts Army was all but wiped out.

The territory of Jiangnan Prefecture was completely conquered within ten days.

From that day on, the name of the Demon Dragon Guard spread throughout the land.

Following the instructions of his father, Lu Changfeng, Saint Hong spared Sword City.

He then marched his army west.

The three great Demon Dao Influences of Cyan Mountain Prefecture surrendered as soon as they heard the news.

The Desert North Sky Mountain Dragon Country also chose to surrender.

Several major powers in the Western Capital Prefecture, relying on their treacherous terrain, attempted to remain independent. Saint Hong dispatched numerous Demon Generals from the Demon Sect, who annihilated them completely.

Thus, within a mere two months, the Song Territory was unified by Saint Emperor Saint Hong and re-divided into seven prefectures.

Aside from the Capital Region being renamed Beiyuan Prefecture and Yunyang Prefecture becoming the Holy Capital Region, the names of the other prefectures remained the same.

After unifying the lands, Saint Hong’s fame spread far and wide. But he did not rest on his laurels, beginning the construction of a fleet that very year.

Half a year later, the grand army set sail, crossed the ocean, and landed in Daliang.

The great war in the Song Territory had already exhausted Daliang’s strength. As a result, they could not mount a fierce resistance and were swiftly overthrown by the Holy Country’s army.

Saint Hong divided the lands of Daliang Country in two, establishing two new prefectures.

And so, the realm was divided into nine prefectures, all under the rule of the Holy Country.
