Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Faced with such a dire situation, even Su Zheng felt a wave of helplessness.

He felt compassion for the people, but he had allowed them to live with dignity!

He felt pity for the soldiers, yet he had given them the courage and opportunity to rise!

Since founding the nation, he had lived up to everyone’s expectations—

All but this moment, when the nation was on the verge of extinction…

Su Zheng only felt that he had failed that one person.

That patriarch who had allowed him to forge his own path.

“Patriarch… was my path… ultimately a mistake?”

Su Zheng murmured. The once invincible Qin cavalry had lost nine out of every ten.

With only their fierce bravery left, they managed to hold the enemy at bay, but it was all in vain.

“Today marks the fall of Great Qin!” roared the Sovereign of the Zhixing Empire.

The previously stagnant imperial coalition suddenly surged forward in a frenzied charge.

It seemed… everything was already decided.

However…

BOOM—!!

BOOM—!!

The earth began to quake violently.

Each time a figure appeared, an invisible, crushing aura burst forth.

On the battlefield, every warhorse and beast let out a mournful cry, falling to their knees, uncontrollably—

Some of the weaker horses even fainted on the spot.

Su Zheng’s gaze instinctively turned to the distance.

Beneath the blood-red setting sun, a knight in white armor emerged on the horizon.

Beneath him was a pure white warhorse—

But unlike ordinary steeds, it had a mouthful of razor-sharp fangs and eyes glinting with bloodlust.

The remaining sovereigns were all visibly alarmed.

Could something unexpected be unfolding?!

But once they saw the newcomer’s cultivation, they relaxed.

“Heh, I thought Great Qin had some hidden card—just an External Realm cultivator!”

“Great Qin is finished today, without a doubt!!”

“Hahahaha!! One man and one horse making all this fuss… what, does he think he’s some Moon Grasping powerhouse who can turn the tide?”

“Haha… right? Wait!! What is that?!”

“No! This—this is impossible!!”

The mocking words of the sovereigns were cut off—

Because what followed next left them utterly horrified.

It was like the heavens spun, like reality itself shattered—

That warrior in silver-white armor and his steed charged into the imperial coalition from behind, like a single drop of pure white water, seeping into a pool of black ink…

Yet, in that moment, the entire coalition—millions strong—began to retreat in panic!

Why? Because—

BOOM—!!

BOOM—!!

A white tidal wave surged forth from the horizon, following that lone warrior.

The dying sun cast a blood-red hue upon them; their pale armor was like the fangs of the Reaper.

A hundred thousand troops moved as one, leaving only scorched earth in their wake!

The mighty imperial coalition resembled nothing more than fields of rice in a village.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

This army was a legion of silent gods of war—

No battle cries, no war songs—

Only precise, mechanical, perfect slaughter!

What truly terrified the sovereigns was—

Every single soldier in this army… was a peak-stage External Realm cultivator!

A level that could dominate small cities, a level worthy of elder status in a major sect—

Yet here, they were but a fraction of this force!

In just three waves of assault, a tenth of the coalition was already wiped out…

And the white-armored legion—Stained in blood, surrounded by corpses—had not lost a single man!

This… was a truly invincible army.

“The Snow Dragon Cavalry!!”

“By the command of the Sovereign, we await your orders!!”

“Kill!! Kill!! KILL!!!”

With the lead general’s thunderous roar, three killing shouts erupted into the sky.

In an instant, boundless killing intent surged upward, like a blood-soaked spear, piercing through the heavens!

BANG!!

In the very next second, the lead sovereign was obliterated—

Reduced to dust beneath the might of the war formation.

If the Snow Dragon Cavalry sets forth, even the moon shall fall!

Even Moon Grasping powerhouses had once wailed under their spears.

The one-sided slaughter had been reversed—

The tide of war had shifted!

“Awaiting orders, Your Majesty!” the cavalry commander shouted.

Su Zheng’s eyes lit up with fury: “Spare no one… let them all…”

“Be buried!!”

“Yes!!”

With the Dragon Cavalry’s answer, the slaughter resumed.

This was no longer war—

But a merciless massacre.

The surviving Great Qin soldiers and civilians wept tears of joy.

Several sovereigns, realizing all was lost, tried to flee—hoping to regroup later.

But how could Su Zheng allow that?

Without the Star Holding Sovereign to hold them up, the rest were nothing!

In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black imperial dragon soared across the skies, and with a single punch—obliterated them all!

That scene which had made Su Zheng feel powerless and despairing—Had been completely overturned with just one move from his Patriarch.

His reverence for Su Zhou had reached indescribable levels.

He stood high in the heavens, above millions of wailing enemies.

The emperor, standing side by side with the setting sun,

Looked toward the Su Family.

He bent his knees, wanting to kneel to the family patriarch!

Only this could express his loyalty!

But—A terrifying force erupted from nowhere, holding him up.

“If you kneel here, your imperial aura, your kingly image, will be forever erased.”

“Little Su Zheng—go forth to conquer the heavens, sweep across all lands!”

“Tell all realms: the Su Family shall birth a sovereign—an emperor, peerless through the ages!!”

Su Zhou’s warm voice traversed endless distances, echoing in his ears.

Su Zheng’s eyes grew red as he solemnly declared: “Patriarch’s order… shall not be disobeyed!”

On the battlefield, the enemy forces were reduced to corpses and bloodied pulp.

The Snow Dragon Cavalry, clad in white armor and riding silver steeds, stood in chilling silence—

Their presence blanketing the world in killing intent.

“If they can invade, so can we!!”

“Today, we destroy all six kingdoms!!”

Su Zheng’s domineering voice echoed across the heavens.

“Yes!!” the cavalry responded—And then the blood flowed once again.

The imperial black dragon roared across the sky!

Su Zheng gazed down on all life—

Behind him, a star rose, then another, and another—ten, twenty…

After this battle, Great Qin’s national fortune would dominate the entire Tiandu Domain.

He cultivated alongside the nation—And with one thought—entered the Star Holding Realm!

…

Within Lingxiao Peak—

Su Zhou’s aura grew increasingly terrifying.

Around him, three thousand great Daos manifested, infinite chaos devouring everything.

The space around him shattered and reformed, nourished by dense spiritual energy.

On his body, a hundred stars returned to the moon—

Upon that crescent moon rested dozens of Dao laws.

Then, the bright moon turned to light, fusing into his very being.

Others comprehend laws, then seek the Dao’s path—But Su Zhou wields the laws, walks side by side with the Dao, until all paths become one!

He slowly opened his eyes—within them, reincarnation flowed, karma reversed, yin and yang burned bright.

To enter the Moon Grasping realm was to grasp the profound—With a thought, one’s soul could sweep across the Heavenly Domain; With one palm, an entire kingdom could be annihilated!

But Su Zhou had reshaped this realm—

Even at Star Holding level, he could kill ordinary Moon Grasping cultivators!

Now? Even ancient Moon Grasping monsters would be playthings before him.

As Su Zhou fully entered the Moon Grasping realm, Heaven and earth above Lingxiao’s Blessed Land began to shift.

Golden primordial energy blanketed the sky, celestial music echoed through the heavens, and above the clouds, thousands of fairies danced.

BOOM—!!

A deafening roar split the heavens—

It was as if all Daos recognized him, and the heavens bowed in acknowledgment.

Golden energy surged across the sky—

As if a heavenly title descended from the void.

“Supreme!!”

Upon reaching Moon Grasping, one may be named a Marquis.

The Dao itself bestowed the title—Marquis Supreme!!

As the title formed, all realms bore witness.

Ordinary Marquis titles might affect only the land where they were gained.

If they could suppress an entire nation, it was already monstrous.

But Su Zhou’s title manifestation—Blanketed the entire nine heavens and ten earths!

Countless powerful beings across the myriad realms turned to gaze upon the Dao.

The words “Supreme Marquis”, had come from the Dao itself!

“Supreme Marquis!”

“In this golden age of monstrous talents… what kind of being is this?! To be recognized by all realms just upon entering the Marquis level?!”

“Even the ancient Emperors never received such a title!”

Countless powerful entities sighed in awe.

What is ‘Supreme’?—

Supreme is to stand above all, to suppress all beneath—

This title already carries the potential of an Emperor.

But just as the entire world trembled in wonder—

A calm, indifferent voice echoed:

“I do not accept this title.”
