Chapter 419: The Shock of the Imperial Seat!
Twenty-five years ago, Diwu Qingrou saw an omen in the heavens. Thus, burdened with the responsibilities of his family and fueled by the ambition to unify the world, he arrived in the Lower Three Heavens.
Following the will of heaven and aligning with the people is the path to success!
With the celestial signs as his guide, how could Diwu Qingrou possibly choose the wrong side? Therefore, he successfully entered Great Zhao, gradually grasped power, and ultimately became a heroic overlord capable of commanding the world with a mere word!
However, just as the decisive battle drew near, the signs in the heavens suddenly changed!
It undeniably told him: all your previous efforts were just a joke. You were nothing more than a plaything; the celestial signs you saw were merely illusions! Just illusions! The truth has only now emerged!
This was tantamount to mocking the fruits of Diwu Qingrou's lifelong dedication!
If he had known that the will of heaven would ultimately favor Iron Cloud, why would Diwu Qingrou have sought refuge in Great Zhao? Now that he was at a point of no return, the situation changed abruptly...
Moreover, it was a will of heaven that was utterly unresistable!
How could this not leave Diwu Qingrou exhausted, filled with grief and indignation?
"Even if it is the will of heaven! I will make the will of heaven pay the price!" But Diwu Qingrouās elegant beard was stained with blood, and suddenly his expression darkened as he muttered fiercely to himself, "Even if I cannot turn it around, I, Diwu Qingrou, cannot be humiliated so easily! Even if the will of heaven cannot be altered, I will ensure that the eight hundred thousand strong army all perish for my name to be remembered in this world!"
In the following half month, the two armies engaged in frequent battles; the situation became a stalemate.
Diwu Qingrou's scheming was relentless, feigning attacks to the east while striking to the west; it seemed that his ingenious tactics were endless. Although Iron Cloud, Tie Butian, and Chu Yang worked together from Iron Dragon City, they were still outmaneuvered by him!
Diwu Qingrou's strategic prowess could only be described as ādeep and unfathomableā. His insight into the battlefield was sharp enough to send chills down oneās spine.
Moreover, with Diwu Qingrou grasping the overall situation, he recklessly mobilized his forces, especially the army of Golden Horse Knights Hall, which became elusive and unpredictable. Since Chu King of Hell had returned, Diwu Qingrou realized that his original arrangements had become obsolete; dividing forces would only lead to being picked off one by one by the enemy, so he simply created another army, led by Jing Menghun. This made their offensive even more terrifying!
Every day, there were dozens of major battles, yet there was never a sign of a final confrontation.
Under his immense pressure, Iron Dragon City and Tie Butian were forced to separate and defend their respective territories, confronting Diwu Qingrou.
However, during this time, Chu Yang fell into a strange emotional state.
This began half a month ago.
After Chu Yang had given Wu Qianqian the secret manual, he allowed her to cultivate on her own. But two nights later, Wu Qianqian nervously approached Chu Yang's tent, hesitating to speak.
"Whatās the matter?" Chu Yang asked.
"Chu Yang, it seems Iāve broken through..." Wu Qianqian said uncertainly, filled with anxiety and helplessness. "I... I... I didnāt do anything reckless. I just circulated the mental technique of Ice Jade Divine Skill, and then I found... the bottleneck mentioned in the mental technique, I didnāt feel it... but Iāve already reached the fourth level martial master..."
āGah?ā Chu Yang's eyes widened in surprise. "Let me take a look." Even a genius couldnāt advance this quickly...
He grabbed Wu Qianqian's wrist, sending vital energy into her, circulating through her meridians. Finding no abnormalities, he checked again, only discovering a vibrant life force.
