Chapter 389: Hundred Victories Marquis

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Hundred Victories Marquis

"What?"

This scene, though described at length, in reality transpired in merely the blink of an eye.

When everyone realized what had happened, their faces showed expressions of shock.

Cao Feng was dead, a formidable Cultivator of the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer, pinned in mid-air by Ji Chen’s halberd.

"Daoist Emperor’s Weapon!"

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, sensing the terrifying aura emitted from the ebony Great Halberd in Ji Chen’s hand.

This turned out to be a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon!

The Cultivators of the Yu Realm were filled with fear, unable to prevent their hearts from trembling.

This is an artifact of the Great Emperor, far more fearsome than ordinary Emperor’s Weapons.

In the Age Without Emperors, the Nine Great Emperor Clans of the Desolate Realm could only contend with the Yu Realm using Daoist Emperor Weapons left behind by their ancestors, showing how powerful they were, not to be underestimated by anyone.

With Cao Feng killed and Ji Chen wielding a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, the Yu Realm’s forces lost all morale. They had no will to continue fighting and thought only of fleeing the battlefield swiftly.

"Buzz!"

However, just as their entire army was retreating, Ji Chen strode forward with the Emperor’s Halberd in hand.

The dark light flickered, illuminating this world.

Terrifying Black Scythes were unleashed, slicing into the fleeing troops of the Yu Realm.

"Ah!"

In an instant, screams echoed like the cries of ghosts and wolves.

Before Ji Chen’s Purple Ink Halberd, no one could escape harm; those targeted by him were obliterated into flying ash in mere moments.

In just a short time, nearly all of the thousand Yu Realm Cultivators perished, with only a few escaping into the distance, fleeing without looking back, as if they would never dare to return to this battlefield.

As the battle ceased, the chaos that’d filled the world began to calm.

The dark void regained its former brightness as a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, shining on Ji Chen, causing his Silver Battle Armor to gleam radiantly.

"Ji Chen!"

"Ji Chen!"

"Ji Chen!"

Came the cries from the direction of Longnan City.

Countless people shouted with excitement, feeling their hearts surge and blood boil.

This was the greatest victory Longnan City had achieved since the onset of war, with hardly any losses, completely annihilating the Yu Realm forces here.

No one could resist feeling thrilled.

Everyone knew that during the Age Without Emperors, the Desolate Realm’s resistance against the Yu Realm’s invasion was immensely challenging.

Yet in these chaotic times, figures like Ji Chen emerged continuously, undoubtedly bringing hope and light to all.

Longnan City, known for being perilous and difficult to defend, now found its pressure greatly alleviated due to Ji Chen’s presence.

Not only the city’s inhabitants, but also Chief General Qin Xuan on the city walls, appeared very excited.

Although he possessed Great Saint Realm Cultivation, if he were to face Cao Feng, his chances of winning would be at most around sixty percent.

Moreover, the difficulty of truly killing Cao Feng was undoubtedly enormous for Qin Xuan.

Yet Ji Chen achieved it, overwhelmingly eradicating him within the void.

This was enough to prove that Ji Chen’s strength far surpassed that of Longnan City’s Chief General.

This is the Celestial Desolator, with courage unmatched!

...

After the battle, Ji Chen returned to Celestial Residence, focusing on self-cultivation and preparing for the next battle.

He could now feel that his breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer was close.

At dusk, as the red sun sank beneath the clouds, Ji Chen emerged from meditation.

"Boom!"

The sound of battle drums rang out again.

Looking out to the sky beyond the city, he saw a swarm of dark shadows advancing.

The Yu Realm had assembled another team of thousands to assault Longnan City.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen donned his battle armor, crossing towards the city outskirts to engage in the combat once more.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The collision of energies, explosive sounds burst forth, each clash eliciting feelings of shock and awe.

While the battles commenced swiftly, they ended just as quickly.

This was mainly because of Ji Chen’s presence, with Longnan City’s forces almost always winning decisively.

Once again, in this sunset battle, it ended with Ji Chen killing the enemy’s highest-ranking Chief General.

However, after the battle, Ji Chen still did not find the key to a breakthrough.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, battles continued daily at Longnan City, with Ji Chen never absent, participating in every engagement.

As a result, he gained countless Battle Merits, having slain two or three dozen Chief Generals of the Yu Realm at Great Saint Realm Level!

Such achievements were undeniably remarkable and impressive.

By now, within Longnan City, Ji Chen’s name had become known to everyone.

In just seven days, Ji Chen had participated in nearly a hundred battles, each concluding with seizing absolute victory.

Longnan City’s people even bestowed upon him the title of ’Hundred Victories Marquis’!

This title was known not only in the Desolate Realm but also heard by many in the Yu Realm.

On this day, Ji Chen sat cross-legged in Celestial Residence, tallying his current Battle Merits, which numbered nearly twenty thousand!

This was, without a doubt, an astonishing figure.

Not just in Longnan City, but among the Ten Great Ancient Cities of the Desolate Realm, including Divine River City, likely no one had Battle Merit Points comparable to his.

Twenty thousand Battle Merits might be a very high number for ordinary people, but to Ji Chen, it was still insufficient.

To say nothing of other things, just to exchange for one Immortal Elixir, the required Battle Merit Points were at least ten thousand!

Today, compared to the past, Longnan City was noticeably more peaceful.

From sunrise to sunset, the battle drums did not sound.

For today, Longnan City displayed the Peace Token atop its walls.

And this was not only the case for Longnan City; all Ten Great Ancient Cities of the Desolate Realm hung Peace Tokens today.

This was the monthly day of truce; outside the Desolate Realm, the Yu Realm was the same.

Both sides needed time to adjust, hence the day of peace naturally became an unspoken understanding between them.

"I heard that the Hundred Victories Marquis didn’t return to Divine River City today but continued guarding Longnan City. He’s truly dedicated, even on the day of peace."

In the city, idle Cultivators gathered in tea houses or taverns, discussing such topics.
