188: Chapter 188: A Sensation Shakes the Northern Heavenly Continent! All Three Are Saints!

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the outcome of the battle between the two empires spread throughout the entire North Heaven Province.

Within the vast North Heaven Province, all living beings were in an uproar, filled with shock and horror.

The outcome of the battle between the two empires exceeded everyone's expectations.

They had originally thought that the Blood Martial Empire, which was much stronger than the East State Empire in terms of apparent strength, would emerge victorious.

At the very least, even if the Blood Martial Empire couldn't conquer the entire East State Empire, they should have been able to achieve a mutually destructive end.

In reality, however, all the experts from the Blood Martial Empire who went to attack the East State Empire had perished.

This included a total of six Saint Realm experts, including the Sovereign of the Blood Martial Empire, Takada Yutaka.

From then on, there were no longer any absolute experts of the Saint level within the Blood Martial Empire.

On the other hand, the East State Empire had won both battlefields with overwhelming superiority without losing a single soldier.

A crushing defeat—this was an indisputable, uncontroversial, and shocking defeat.

Those were Saint Realm experts, existences at the very Peak of North Heaven Province, and six of them had fallen at once!

Within the Beiluo Empire, the hearts of the people were filled with disbelief.

For a long time, the strength of their Beiluo Empire had always been far weaker than that of the other three empires.

They had avoided conflict in everything, suffering all sorts of losses without gaining any advantage.

Every time at the North Heaven Province Assembly, their ranking was surprisingly stable—always dead last.

To their surprise, this time the experts of their Beiluo Empire had chosen to take the initiative.

Between the East State Empire and the Blood Martial Empire, they chose to side with the East State Empire.

This choice was no different from gambling the future of the Beiluo Empire on the East State Empire.

Fortunately, the top experts of their Beiluo Empire had bet correctly, and the East State Empire had won a complete victory.

Because of this great victory, their Beiluo Empire would usher in an unprecedented era of glory.

However, was Ye Chen of the East State Empire truly that powerful, overturning the entire battlefield by himself?!

Ye Chen's battle achievements were publicized throughout the entire North Heaven Province without any reservation.

Anyone who had heard of the war between the two empires knew of Ye Chen's glorious achievements.

This was not just the result of the East State Empire's experts frantically spreading the word.

It was also the effect of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's experts intentionally or unintentionally promoting it.

The Heavenly Dragon Empire's experts who watched the battle between the two empires announced the news to the world before even returning to their empire.

They were well aware that the rise of the East State Empire was already unstoppable, and even their Heavenly Dragon Empire could not hinder it.

Since they couldn't stop it, they might as well do a favor and help build momentum for the East State Empire in advance.

In this way, when the East State Empire grew to a certain level of power in the future, they would remember this act of goodwill.

With this good karma, as long as their Heavenly Dragon Empire didn't take the initiative to provoke the East State Empire, they would surely be able to live in peace!

While the beings of North Heaven Province were shocked by the outcome, they were equally astounded by Ye Chen's combat power.

First, on the battlefield below the Saint Realm, he summoned a black hole that swallowed all the experts of the Blood Martial Empire.

He helped the East State Empire win the battlefield below the Saint Realm without losing a single soldier.

Then, with a cultivation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he instantly killed the fifth-layer Saint Realm Sovereign of the Blood Martial Empire, Takada Yutaka, with a single sword strike.

That wasn't all; under his unpredictable Divine Ability power, five Saint Realm experts were plunged into a Divine Soul Illusion.

Dignified Saint Realm experts were trapped in a Divine Soul Illusion, unable to extricate themselves, becoming lambs to the slaughter without any power to resist.

It was no exaggeration to say that the reason the East State Empire won so easily was entirely due to Ye Chen's efforts!

Of course, while there were beings shocked by Ye Chen's powerful combat strength and fanatical about his Prodigy talent...

There were naturally those who were deeply skeptical, believing it all to be false news spread by rumors.

Because the whole thing was too exaggerated and too inconceivable.

Looking at the history of North Heaven Province and the Eastern Region, this was simply impossible to achieve.

Even those former Young Emperors could not have reached such a level.

Since when could a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation cross two whole major Realms and kill those in the Saint Realm like chickens?

Saint Realm experts were beings at the very top of the pyramid in the entire North Heaven Province.

The East State Empire's victory must have been due to the intervention of the Beiluo Empire's Saint Realm experts.

It was also impossible for the East State Empire not to have lost a single soldier in this great victory.

At most, the East State Empire hadn't lost too many experts, so it was rumored to be a flawless victory.

Ye Chen, who only possessed a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation, could not possibly be the key figure who turned the tide of the battle!

Of course, no one cared whether these beings were horrified or skeptical.

Especially the commoners and remaining experts of the Blood Martial Empire had no leisure to care about such things.

They had all fallen into deep confusion—confusion about their own future.

A total of ten Saint Realm experts from the Beiluo Empire and the East State Empire were bearing down upon them.

Penetrating deep into the heartland of their Blood Martial Empire, everywhere they went, everyone bowed their heads in submission, and no one dared to resist.

Before it was even completely dark, they had conquered the entire territory of the Blood Martial Empire and dispatched experts to take control and manage it.

In just half a day, the territory of the Blood Martial Empire was annexed into the East State Empire!

All the people of the Blood Martial Empire were filled with frustration and confusion over this outcome.

They knew that their Blood Martial Empire was completely destroyed; from now on, the Blood Martial Empire would no longer exist in the world.

After today, they would become people of the East State Empire, citizens of a fallen nation.

But despite this, they had no power to change anything other than their frustration.

The collapse of the Blood Martial Empire was already irreversible, and ironically enough...

This battle was originally initiated by their Blood Martial Empire, a so-called war of justice to seek redress.

Little did they expect that the so-called war of justice would become the war of the Blood Martial Empire's annihilation.

A great battle lasting less than an hour saw all Saint Realm experts perish, and over 70% of the middle and high-level experts also fell.

With all their primary combat power lost, how could they resist the sweep of ten Saint Realm experts?

Within Zhendong City, the last strategic pass of the East State Empire, an atmosphere completely different from the desolation of the Blood Martial Empire prevailed.

Even though it was already late at night, many experts were still celebrating wildly.

This great victory was enough for them to celebrate for three days and nights, or even seven days and nights wouldn't be the end of it!

Deep within Zhendong City, inside a quiet room.

On the bed, Ye Chen felt that his power was finally completely refined and slowly opened his eyes.

"Phew!"

"Now my strength is enough to go and campaign in those higher-level provinces!"

As he spoke, he stood up from the bed, and the aura of his three types of cultivation erupted without concealment.

Spiritual energy cultivation: first-layer Saint Realm Peak!

Physical Body cultivation: sixth-layer Saint Realm Peak!

Divine Soul cultivation: Saint Realm Great Perfection!

"Rumble!!!"

Just as his aura was revealed, a deafening roar exploded in the endless high firmament above Zhendong City.
