Chapter 316: Four Nascent Soul against the terrifying Thunder-X Cannon
Su Yen stopped their campaign after the six states surrendered to his reign.
The Six states were so massive that they couldn't be covered in a day. With the Spirit Plan, it would take three days from the Barren Land to reach the 31st state.
And the Spirit Planes at their fastest speed could travel at Mach 15. Still, to cover the farthest state would take them three days.
Now, if they were to continue their campaign to the other stage states, how long would it take them to send their men to the states?
Moreover, in times of emergency, they wouldn't be able to render help immediately.
With this, the suspension of the campaign came as a relief to everyone.
Even though they were not expanding their, the six state was large, and many states had yet to explore the land in their territory.
Sitting inside the Spirit Plane, five state governors looked at the strange artifact in amazement.
They were going to meet the Pagoda Empire Emperor for the first time.
Each of them was nervous, but the magical artifact and the novel inside the Spirit Plane left them speechless.
"How is this possible?"
"Where did they find such a divine artifact?"
"How come we've never heard of such a divine artifact?"
"Look at the leather and material they used. I've never seen anything like it in my life."
The governors voiced their amazement one after the other.
"With such an artifact, it is normal they can conquer the land."
"You're right. Who in their right senses would reject such a divine artifact?"
Just as they were discussing, they heard the captain's voice telling them they've arrived at their location.
While the Pagoda Empire was expanding their territory, Baiyun City was expanding at a terrifying speed.
Standing at the center of Baiyun City was a tall magnificent black pagoda.
The Black Pagoda stood over two hundred meters, towering over everything in the city.
For miles, the black pagoda could be seen radiating an otherworldly aura.
Also, the Spirit Train had been introduced to the city. Currently, the construction of the intercontinental railway was underway.
The new Baiyun City could not be compared to the previous Baiyun City, as many towering buildings stood proudly.
Apart from that, many astounding roads appeared in the city, linking each district together.
Watching such a magnificent city from the Spirit Plane window left all the governors dumbfounded.
They were too stunned to notice the plane had landed. It was when they heard a female voice that they came out of their stupor.
Still reeling in shock, they marched out of the spirit plane, still processing what they just saw.
Just as they left the temporary airport, they were led into a Spirit Train.
Entering another magical artifact, the various governors were just too shocked, and everything they believed shattered to pieces.
"Are you shocked?"
They turned their heads and looked at the voice direction. Coming out of another car, a woman dressed in a tight-fitting purple robe appeared before them.
She was Cao Meng.
Cao Meng took a seat across the dumbfounded governors and smiled.
"Now, you know surrendering to the Pagoda Empire was the best choice of your life," she said calmly.
"Now, I'm going to tell you the rules before you appear before His Majesty, The Great." Her expression changed as it became serious.
"I thought they said the Emperor came from the barren land," one of the governors asked in confusion.
Turning her head, Cao Meng looked at the governor and smiled.
"You're right. But only those that are worthy can step into such a holy land."
"Holy Land!" They exclaimed in unison.
"What do you think? If our city can be transformed to this in a span of weeks, then what would the home of His Majesty, The Great, look like?"
Huh!
They sucked in a cold breath and looked out of the window. They saw many things that left them amazed.
Shortly, they arrived before a magnificent palace, and they felt a chill down the spine.
They had been told the rules of the palace and how strict it was inside the palace.
With the rules and strictness, the governors panicked.
As they made their way to meet the Emperor, a battle was about to unfold outside the Gray Pagoda State.
At the canyon that separates the 35th state from the Gray Pagoda State.
Four terrifying auras were flying toward the Gray Pagoda State.
"We must not delay the mission. We must use our ace attack from the beginning," an old man said.
The three other Nascent Soul experts nodded.
Their mission was to turn this land into a desolate land, devoid of any living being.
"What is that?" one of them asked as they flew over the canyon.
In the distance, they saw the towering watchtower, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Did they build such a tower in case of their enemies?"
"It's useless. In the presence of absolute strength, these are meaningless."
"Right. Right." They all nodded, and they increased their speed as if they couldn't wait to destroy the towering tower.
Meanwhile, at the foot of the tower where the garrison was located.
A blaring sound echoed, and the soldiers raced toward their station.
On the tower, Xi stood behind his men and looked at the incoming men.
"Captain, are they in range?" A soldier reported.
Hmm!
Xi nodded and waited for the four old men to get closer.
"Ready the Thunder-X cannon," he commanded.
Instantly, the four Thunder-X cannons mounted on the tower hummed to life.
The four old Nascent Soul Experts were brimming with confidence as they looked at Xi and his men.
Xi was merely an Early Foundation Building realm stage 1 while his men were at the peak of Qi Refinement realm stage 9.
What could such weak ants do to them? So they thought.
When they crossed the five hundred meters mark, Xi shouted.
"Fire!"
Boom!
A deafening sound roared from the Thunder-X cannon.
Instantly, the four Nascent Souls suddenly felt a sudden threat to their lives, but before they could react, one of them exploded to pieces. The other three didn't have the luxury to care about him since they were going to follow him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Subsequently, the three nascent souls exploded without leaving traces behind.
Till death, none of them understood how they were killed.
"Threat neutralized," a mechanical voice came from the tower.
When the soldiers heard this, a smile crept up on their faces.
"Good work everyone!" Xi said and departed from the tower.
Meanwhile, in the 35th state, another battle was about to begin.
This time, it was not going to involve the terrifying Thunder-X cannon.
