Fifteen minutes later.
The grasslands and land within a thousand-kilometer radius had been reduced to pitch-black scorched earth.
Cities and dozens of villages and towns had been reduced to ruins.
Nearly three million civilians and martial artists, regardless of their strength, had been reduced to ashes.
This was truly a scene of a thousand-kilometer radius of barren land, with not even a single corpse remaining.
Even when the Heaven-Conquering Army had invaded and plunged the Divine Kingdom into misery and suffering, such a tragic scene had never occurred.
If it was anyone else who saw such a miserable scene, they would not be able to bear it and would feel pity for them.
However, the Heaven-Conquering Emperor's expression and gaze remained as cold as ice, without a hint of emotion.
He didn't even bother to look at the scene and left after using a divine technique.
Following that, he led the Imperial Tutor around the Divine Kingdom, searching for cities and martial artists to gather.
Regardless of whether it was a prosperous city or a popular martial arts faction or sect.
Whenever the Heaven-Conquering Emperor saw them, he would slap them with his palm or punch them.
There was no doubt about the results.
Those cities, Martial Dao sects, and forces were instantly destroyed into ruins without any warning.
Everything within a hundred-kilometer radius had been reduced to scorched earth and ruins, and all living things had been reduced to ashes.
As time passed, the Heaven-Conquering Emperor destroyed more and more cities and factions.
News of this quickly spread throughout the Divine Kingdom of Taihao, causing hundreds of millions of citizens to panic and unease.
…
Early one morning.
High up in the sky, in the Divine Palace of Taihao.
Taihao Yunqi, who was dressed in golden divine robes and wearing an imperial golden crown, was sitting in his study, focused on handling government affairs.
Ever since Martial God Taihao had fallen and the Heaven-Conquering Army had been defeated, he had inherited the position of Divine Master at the behest of Ji Tianxing.
He knew that he was only a Martial Sage and had yet to become a Martial God.
Holding the position of Divine Master would inevitably attract criticism from his subjects and make it difficult to convince them.
Thus, he had been treading on thin ice during his years as Divine Master of Taihao. He had always been conscientious and conscientious.
For the sake of the citizens and government affairs of the Divine Kingdom, he had worked hard and spared no effort.
Fortunately, the Shenwu Continent had always been peaceful under the protection of Ji Tianxing and his wife.
The Divine Kingdom of Taihao was also peaceful, and there had not been any major disturbances.
Under Taihao Yunqi's efforts, the Divine Kingdom quickly regained its peace.
Over the years, the situation in the Divine Nation had been stabilized. The people were living and working in peace.
Even the martial arts among the people began to flourish, showing a flourishing state.
Everything was progressing in a good direction.
Taihao Yunqi was deeply gratified. He felt that he had not let down Father God and Ji Tianxing.
He was planning in his heart. Now that the Divine Kingdom had stabilized, he would go into seclusion to cultivate for a few years after he finished dealing with important government affairs.
All these years, he had been so busy with government affairs that he had neglected his cultivation. He was about to be overtaken by the other Divine Children.
"I have to work harder and try to break through to the Martial God Realm as soon as possible. Only then will I be able to intimidate the people of the Divine Nation and truly sit on the throne of the Divine Master!"
Taihao Yunqi put away a memorial and murmured expectantly.
At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the study.
"Reporting! Urgent report!! "
Taihao Yunqi immediately frowned and looked at the door. He saw a messenger in armor hurriedly crossing the door and rushing into the study.
The messenger rushed to his desk and knelt down to salute. He quickly reported, "Divine Master, something bad has happened!
More than 20 disasters have occurred in the Da Qian Empire in the south of the Divine Nation. More than 20 cities have been destroyed, and more than 30 million people have died … "
"What?" Taihao Yunqi's expression changed drastically when he heard this bad news. He stood up immediately.
"What kind of disaster can destroy more than 20 cities and cause more than 30 million people to die?
What the hell happened? Tell me! "
Taihao Yunqi was shocked and angry. An invisible pressure burst out from his body and spread throughout the study.
The messenger prostrated himself on the ground and said with an ashen face, "Divine Master, according to the news from the Da Qian Empire, the disaster began three days ago.
It spread from the south of the Da Qian Empire to the north. One city after another was destroyed by the terrifying fire. Not only were the cities turned into ashes, but the people in the cities were also killed.
In addition to more than 20 cities, a few other Martial Arts Sects and factions also suffered the same tragedy.
According to the Da Qian Holy Emperor, it is not a natural disaster. It is most likely the work of a mysterious elite! "
After he finished speaking, the messenger took out a memorial and presented it to Taihao Yunqi.
Taihao Yunqi's expression was grave. He quickly took the memorial and flipped through it.
The memorial recorded the number of cities and Martial Arts Sects that were destroyed. Not only did it record the number of deaths, it also described the aftermath of the disaster in detail.
After Taihao Yunqi finished reading, he frowned and pondered for ten breaths.
"This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Someone deliberately massacred and wanted to destroy the stability of the Divine Nation!
However, the ruins and traces left behind by the perpetrator are too shocking.
All the cities were destroyed in an instant and almost no one was able to escape.
From this, it can be seen that the perpetrator is very powerful and has definitely surpassed the Martial Saint realm … It is most likely the work of a Martial God! "
Although he had encountered such a major incident, Taihao Yunqi was still able to maintain his calm.
He was able to deduce so much information just from the memorial.
The messenger looked up at him and asked, "Lord God, how do you plan to deal with this?
Why don't I … send the Divine Guard Legion to the Da Qian Empire to investigate and capture the perpetrator? "
Taihao Yunqi immediately shook his head and said in a low voice, "The perpetrator is very powerful and cruel. It is very likely that he is a Martial God.
Even if we send the Divine Guard Legion to investigate, it will be difficult to do anything.
I will first send a message to Lord Tianxing and report this matter to him.
There are only a few Martial Gods on the Shenwu Continent, and Lord Tianxing should be aware of this. "
After he finished speaking, Taihao Yunqi hastily took out a communication jade slip and sent a message to Ji Tianxing.
While waiting for Ji Tianxing's reply, Taihao Yunqi also ordered the commander of the Divine Guard Legion to lead a hundred elite powerhouses to investigate the situation in the Da Qian Empire.
In order to capture the perpetrator, the most important thing was quality, not quantity.
After two hours, Taihao Yunqi still did not receive Ji Tianxing's reply.
He was anxious and took out two more transmission jade slips and sent them to Yun Yao and Ji Ke.
In his opinion, Ji Tianxing was most likely cultivating in seclusion and would not receive any messages for the time being.
However, the three of them would not be in seclusion at the same time, so one of them must be managing the affairs of the Divine Kingdom.
As expected.
After a short while, Taihao Yunqi received a message from Yun Yao.
"Seventh Godchild, we are currently in Surging Waves Forest, searching for the whereabouts of the mysterious powerhouse.
Since such a tragedy has occurred in the Da Qian Empire, it is very likely the work of that mysterious powerhouse.
According to our guess, that mysterious powerhouse is very likely the Emperor of the Heaven Punisher Clan … "
