Had the emperor come out of seclusion? Not yet!
He had been in seclusion for about two to three years. During this time, the Crown Prince of Great Yan had been in charge. No matter what happened, the emperor never showed up.
Along the way, Stupa Mountain and Ying Guang wanted to become independent, and Shen Lang and Ying Guang fought. Finally, Stupa Mountain was completely erased from the world.
However, these things seemed insignificant to the emperor. He was still in the Forbidden Tower, and no one knew what he was doing.
… …
It was the new year again!
Time seemed to have passed very quickly ever since Shen Lang returned from the west. The last time Shen Lang celebrated the new year was when he had just rescued Prince Jin and the others from Jingang Peak. The Great Qian Empire and the New Qian Kingdom were at odds. There was no festive atmosphere in the eastern world.
This time, there was still no festive atmosphere.
That was because every new year, something big would happen that would attract the attention of the entire world.
Currently, the entire eastern world was in awe and fear of the Great Yan Empire.
Half a month ago, Stupa Mountain and Dark Castle in the southern seas were completely erased from the world by the Great Yan Empire.
Before this, the Great Yan Empire claimed that it was a tsunami and an earthquake. They would never admit that it was the Regret of the Dragon.
However, this time, Flame Capital was silent.
Silence was a tacit admission.
The entire world was stunned. Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms, as well as the vassal states of the Great Yan Empire, all of them were trembling in fear.
Flame Capital was too terrifying, too powerful, and had become cruel.
Now that Ying Guang was gone and Stupa Mountain was gone, Shen Lang was the only enemy left in the eastern world. Flame Capital immediately gave the Great Qian Empire's Wrath Tide City a countdown.
Everyone was waiting for the countdown to end. They were waiting for the Regret of the Dragon to sound again. They were waiting for Wrath Tide City to be completely erased from the world.
The fate of the Great Qian Empire seemed to have been decided.
Even the ancient interception device of Stupa Mountain could not stop the Regret of the Dragon. Was there anything else in the world that could? Nothing at all.
… …
In the palace of Flame Capital, a New Year's Eve banquet was being held.
This year, there was one more person, and that was the eldest princess, who was also Sect Leader Ren's wife. As the emperor was still in seclusion, everyone was spending New Year's Eve in the Empress Dowager's palace.
There weren't many people, only a dozen or so, and one of them was Princess Ji Ning.
Many years had passed, but she didn't seem to have changed in the slightest. She was still as exquisite as ever, and her skin was snow-white to the point of seeming transparent.
It had been almost seven years since she last met Shen Lang. At that time, she looked like she was sixteen, and now, she still looked like she was sixteen.
Today, on New Year's Eve, her face was full of smiles, as if nothing had happened. It was as if the little princess who used the dagger to cut Ji Xuan's throat was not her.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the Empress Dowager distributed red envelopes to everyone. Everyone looked happy and harmonious.
Eldest Princess Ji always had a smile on her face as if the misfortune of the past thirty years did not exist.
… …
It was desolate in Qian Capital.
Shen Lang's army firmly controlled the city. Zhao Lin and Ying Wuchang had prepared a list of more than two hundred people. Including those who were implicated, there were more than two thousand people.
Within a few days, these two thousand people were all beheaded.
This was Shen Lang's revenge against the New Qian Kingdom. Of course, this was already considered a very light punishment. Every change of dynasty killed more people than this.
What really terrified Qian Capital was the upcoming situation. The confrontation between Great Yan and Great Qian Kingdom. The decisive battle!
Was the scene from thirty years ago going to happen again? The Great Qian Empire and the Great Yan Empire had a decisive battle. Then, Jiang Li died suddenly. In the end, the Great Yan Empire's million-strong army killed their way into Qian Kingdom, burning, killing, and looting. It was like the end of the world.
Therefore, even though it was New Year's Eve, the entire Qian Capital was as cold as a cellar. People didn't even have the mood to cook.
Soon, the Great Yan Empire would cleanse Raging Tide City with Regret of the Dragon. Once Raging Tide City was destroyed, the Great Qian Empire would be destroyed.
What would be the fate of Qian Capital? It was said that Third Princess Ying's son had been adopted into the Ying Family and would soon be conferred the title of King of the Great Ying Kingdom.
It would be best if there was no war. Everything was fine as long as they were alive.
… …
At this moment, the Chu Nation was in full swing.
Regret of the Dragon had destroyed Stupa Mountain, causing the Floating Sea to flood into the Chu Nation. Three counties were submerged, and hundreds of thousands of people were affected.
More than ten days had passed. The flood had finally receded, and the disaster relief was coming to an end.
Fortunately, Shen Lang had dispatched nearly two thousand Snow Eagle Cavalrymen at the first possible moment, saving the lives of countless victims. Otherwise, the number of casualties this time would be uncountable.
Currently, tens of thousands of people were still living in tents, but they celebrated the New Year's Eve with vigor.
There was meat and wine on every table. The King of Chu, Su Nan, and Zhao Lin were celebrating the New Year in the area where the victims gathered.
"Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up …"
"Cheers, cheers …"
"Everyone should have seen it clearly now. The Great Yan Empire claims to be the rightful ruler of the world, but does it care about the lives of the people? Don't they know that the destruction of Stupa Mountain will cause the Floating Sea to overturn, drown the Chu Nation, and make countless people homeless? They know, but they still did it. That's because they treat us like ants. "
"However, His Majesty Shen Lang is different. He immediately sent the most elite aerial troops over. Lord Su Nan, how many aerial troops does our Great Qian Empire have?"
Su Nan replied, "About two thousand in total."
"Now that these two thousand aerial troops are all in the disaster area, what does this prove? Our Majesty Shen Lang is the true benevolent and righteous monarch, the ruler of destiny. Those people in the Yan Capital speak of benevolence and righteousness, and love the people like their own children. But what happened in the end? They did such despicable things, and His Majesty Shen Lang has never said a good word about them. He has never praised himself, but in order to protect his people, he did his best. "
"With such a monarch, we are all blessed and proud."
"Long live His Majesty Shen Lang, long live, long live."
"I wish His Majesty Shen Lang a boundless longevity."
"I heard that the Yan Capital even started a countdown to the destruction of the Raging Tide City? They want to wipe the Raging Tide City off the face of the earth? Hahahaha, ptui! "
"Who was the first to play with Regret of the Dragon? It's our Majesty Shen Lang! Others might not be able to do anything about it, but His Majesty Shen Lang might be able to extinguish it with a piss. "
The refugees all responded with a roar.
Suddenly, someone said to Youyou, "Isn't it disrespectful of you to say that His Majesty Shen Lang needs to piss? His Majesty is like a god, why would he do something so vulgar? "
As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at him with a strange look in their eyes.
Brother, you are still too childish. It's true that His Majesty is like a god, but once he gets vulgar, it's beyond your imagination. What can a person like him not do? Back then, in the Qian Capital, Ying Guang had released countless destructive Gu worms. Just as the army of several tens of thousands was about to be annihilated, His Majesty Shen Lang had stepped forward and devoured hundreds of billions of Gu worms all by himself. After that, he had calmly appeared in front of everyone naked. If not for Princess Duo La hurriedly draping a robe over him, he would probably still be naked for an entire day.
… …
In the Heavenly Manor, Shen Lang accompanied Ning Yuanxian and the children to celebrate the new year.
The number 3 in the sky was especially eye-catching.
This was the countdown to the destruction of the Yan Capital. It changed every day, without any deviation.
The Flying Snake Army and the self-destructing jellyfish army that Shen Lang brought were all hidden under the sea, without a trace.
After the New Year's Eve dinner and red packets, the children forced themselves not to sleep. They wanted to stay up all night.
"Nana, now that the Ying Family has been destroyed, the fake Qiang King is panicking. He is trying his best to curry favor with the Yan Capital, but the Crown Prince of the Great Yan refused to meet him. We can just send an army to destroy the fake Qiang King's army and let you take back the throne." Shen Lang asked, "What do you think?"
Aruna Nana shook her head. "I don't want to go back. I don't want to be the queen anymore. Moreover, before you and the Great Yan Empire decide a victor, everything is empty. Just wait for Zhuangzhuang to grow up. "
At this moment, Aruzhuang was setting off fireworks with his sisters and sister. He was only nine years old, but he was already 1.7 meters tall. He looked like an adult, and his martial arts skills were frighteningly high.
"When he turns 16, I will pass the throne to him. I want to travel around the world with the Big Fool," Aruna Nana said.
Huh? Travel around the world with the Big Fool? Aren't you afraid of getting lost?
… …
Shen Lang pushed Ning Yuanxian in his wheelchair as they strolled around the garden.
This was the good thing about Paradise Manor. It was like spring all year round. Even though it was New Year's Eve, the temperature was still more than ten degrees Celsius. It was not cold at all. There were even many flowers and plants in the manor.
"Child, if you weren't Emperor Jiang Li's son, how would you be now?" Ning Yuanxian suddenly asked.
Shen Lang said, "Then I would have no enemies in the world. I would just wait for death and travel around the world with Mulan."
Ning Yuanxian said, "The next battle is about to begin. Are you ready for the next one?"
Shen Lang said, "I'm not ready this time."
The next battle would be the northern expedition to the Yan Capital. They would eliminate their second last enemy, the Great Yan Emperor.
Shen Lang said, "I've always heard that the Great Yan Emperor has a dragon. It seems like it's not just a legend. Recently, the Great Yan Empire has been using the Regret of the Dragon. After the collision of the Flaming Dragon Comet, many powers seemed to have been unlocked. "
Ning Yuanxian said, "At least 30 years ago, the Yan Capital didn't have the power of the Regret of the Dragon. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the sudden death of Emperor Jiang Li. The Yan Capital would have used the Regret of the Dragon to cleanse itself."
Shen Lang said, "Father-in-law, ever since the Flaming Dragon Comet collided with this world for the last time, the Great Yan Emperor has been in seclusion. What do you think he's doing in the Forbidden Tower?"
Ning Yuanxian said, "What do you think?"
Chen Lang said, "He wouldn't be awakening a dragon or comprehending an enormous dragon, right?"
Ning Yuanxian said, "What you're saying is too advanced. I don't understand it anymore."
Shen Lang sighed again. It was a pity that he had gone to the pyramid on the snowy mountain in the ruins of the Lost Nation too early.
That was because the rune was too mysterious. Shen Lang could really comprehend a lot from it.
This kind of comprehension was very important. The most basic level was sensing the history of the dragon, its power, its destruction, and its anger.
A deeper level would allow one to comprehend the formation of the Regret of the Dragon and the principle of destruction.
A deeper level would allow one to comprehend the spiritual resonance between man and dragon.
These were all very important, even epic moments. They would determine one's fate and the structure of the world. One should be mentally and intellectually prepared.
In the end, Shen Lang went there hastily, comprehended it hastily, and ended it hastily.
At this moment, the children suddenly shouted.
"Ten, nine, eight …"
It was the official New Year. It was almost the first day of the first month, and the children were counting down.
"Three, two, one, zero …"
The countdown in the sky changed from three to two.
The countdown to the Yan Capital's destruction was right on time.
"It's the New Year, it's the New Year …"
Hundreds of children cheered excitedly.
Then, countless fireworks shot into the sky. Not only in the Heavenly Manor, but also in the Furious Tide City. Even the sea was lit up with fireworks to celebrate the New Year.
Actually, the Furious Tide City had never paid much attention to the New Year, let alone fireworks.
The countdown in the sky was just too eye-catching. People couldn't help but pay attention to the New Year.
Hearing the children's cheers, Shen Lang's mind went into a reverie.
There were only two days left.
When the time came, the Yan Capital would use many Regret of the Dragon to destroy the Furious Tide City and Leizhou Island.
Should he move Ning Yuanxian and the hundreds of children away?
If he moved them, where could they go? The Furious Tide City was already the safest place.
Shen Lang closed his eyes and started to simulate the battle once more.
Could I, Shen Lang, intercept all the Regret of the Dragon in the sky at once? Not a single one could fall and explode. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for the Furious Tide City and the Great Qian Empire.
I can do it, I can definitely do it.
… …
The first day of the first month, the second day of the first month!
The countdown in the sky above the Furious Tide City turned to one.
There was only one day left before the Yan Capital would destroy the Furious Tide City.
But the world didn't understand. Even the people of the Furious Tide City didn't understand.
At this crucial moment, Shen Lang didn't seem to have any intention of moving the main forces back to the Furious Tide City.
The fifty thousand new Great Qian soldiers were still in the Qian Capital. Even the thirty thousand Hell soldiers that had just pledged loyalty to Shen Lang were in the Qian Capital.
There were a total of two thousand Stupa Mountain Special Warriors. After the disaster relief, one thousand entered the Qian Capital and one thousand entered the Furious Tide City.
This meant that the Furious Tide City only had one thousand Special Warriors, and they had just surrendered. The rest of the main forces weren't here?
They really didn't understand. His Majesty Shen Lang's actions were too unfathomable.
This is the first battle between the Great Yan Empire and the Great Qian Empire. The Yan Capital is going to raze the Raging Tide City to the ground. You should gather all your troops and weapons at the Raging Tide City and prepare for a war that will destroy the entire empire.
But you didn't even have any troops. Are you abandoning your foundation?
… …
North of the Yan Capital.
"Rumble …"
A huge crack appeared on the ground, and a huge door opened.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
One by one, the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
This crack looked very much like the ancient airbase near Mt. Jingang. Below the huge crack was an endless abyss. The caves on both sides of the cliff were the nests of the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts.
Every Ultrasonic Flying Beast here was bigger than Dachao. They were nearly fifty meters long and had a wingspan of fifty meters.
Every Ultrasonic Flying Beast had a long horn on its head. Of course, it wasn't a real horn, but a Nightmare Stone receiver. It was a bit like an antenna. The Special Knights relied on this to control every Ultrasonic Flying Beast.
Moreover, every Ultrasonic Flying Beast in the Great Yan Empire had a special scale armor on its body. It didn't grow on its body, but was embedded on its body piece by piece.
These scales could withstand most ancient crossbows and crossbows, as well as fire attacks. They were practically invulnerable to swords and spears.
"Huhuhuhu …"
Countless Ultrasonic Flying Beasts flew to an altitude of five thousand meters and gathered in a formation.
A total of one thousand!
This number was already very shocking. Shen Lang had one Dachao, and it made the entire Stupa Mountain's aerial army completely speechless.
In every battle, Dachao almost fought against a hundred enemies alone.
What kind of combat power did one thousand Ultrasonic Flying Beasts have? It was simply unimaginable. It should be able to destroy all the aerial armies in this world, and it could also destroy more than hundreds of thousands of ground armies.
Then.
"Boom boom boom boom …"
On the other side of the ground, an even bigger crack appeared, spanning a few miles.
"Huhuhu …"
Four super behemoths flew out from inside. They were still Ultrasonic Flying Beasts, but they seemed to have mutated. Their bodies were especially huge, at least twice the size of the other Ultrasonic Flying Beasts.
These four mutated flying beasts carried a huge object and flew into the sky.
Dragon Force Launcher!
Sure enough, it was as Shen Lang had imagined. The Great Yan Empire's so-called super long-range strategic strike was not launched directly from a few thousand miles away, but from a super high altitude.
Moreover, this Draconic Power launcher had also been modified. Compared to Shen Lang's Draconic Power, it was smaller, about half the size. However, the launcher's diameter was larger, and the amount of Dragon's Regret it could fire was also larger.
Not only that, the Great Yan Empire's Regret of the Dragon Force was also different.
First of all, they were bigger and more powerful, but they were also lighter.
Stupa Mountain and Shen Lang's Regret of the Dragon was about forty to fifty thousand kilograms each, but the Great Yan Empire's Regret of the Dragon Force was only about twenty thousand kilograms, but it was 1.5 times more powerful than the ordinary Regret of the Dragon Force.
"Huhuhu …"
The first Super Dragon Force in the sky, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth …
In the end, a total of thirteen Super Dragon Force Launchers were hoisted into the sky.
The last time they destroyed Stupa Mountain, Yan Capital only used five Super Dragon Force Launchers, and fired five waves.
This time, Yan Capital actually used thirteen Super Dragon Forces, a total of fifty Super Dragon Forces, to destroy Raging Tide City.
In order to destroy Dark Castle in the Southern Sea, Yan Capital did not use their Super Dragon Force.
But this time, to destroy Raging Tide City, they used a thousand Supersonic Flying Beasts, and each of them was equipped with a special warrior, one that was even stronger than Stupa Mountain.
In the eyes of Yan Capital, Shen Lang's Great Qian Empire far surpassed Stupa Mountain. That was why even though Raging Tide City did not have many defenders, Yan Capital still used ten times the force they used to destroy Stupa Mountain.
All of the Super Dragon Forces were assembled.
The Crown Prince of the Great Yan Empire personally came to see them off. Just as Shen Lang had expected, the commanders of this super army were Princess Ji Xuan, the new Prince Lian, and Eldest Princess Ji, the wife of the Sect Leader.
The Crown Prince frowned. He did not want the eldest princess to participate in this battle.
His aunt's resentment was too strong, not only towards Stupa Mountain or the Great Qian Empire, but also towards the Great Yan Empire and the Ji Family.
The Crown Prince looked at Princess Ji Xuan and said, "Finish the battle quickly, and ensure that all targets in Raging Tide City are destroyed. Including the underground laboratory, the arsenal, the shipyard, the castle, and everything else. "
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Understood. It will be more thorough than destroying Stupa Mountain. Everything in Raging Tide City will be erased from this world."
The Crown Prince said, "Then, go!"
The Crown Prince gave the order.
Yan Capital's Super Dragon Force officially set off.
The 13 Super Dragon Power launchers were hidden at an altitude of 19,000 meters. They could not be seen at all. If necessary, they could fly even higher.
The Supersonic Flying Beasts were also at an altitude of 13,000 meters. They could not be seen.
This was the effect that Zhang Xuan wanted. It was as if the attack from the Nine Heavens had been reduced to ashes before Zhang Xuan could react.
Silently, the destructive force of the Flame Capital flew south towards the Raging Tide City.
… …
This was probably the most bizarre battle of them all.
Everyone knew when the battle would begin, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the people in Raging Tide City.
Previously, when Stupa Mountain had attacked Raging Tide City, the army had at least gone up to the city walls to observe the battle and prepare for defense.
This time, the new Great Qian army did not even go up the city walls. They did not issue any missions either.
After Ren Tianxiao led the 1,000 Special Warriors into Raging Tide City, he first received treatment from Shen Lang. Not only did he receive medication, but he also received surgery. He even had to enter the ancient dragon box.
However, he did not have a mission either.
That's strange. Ordinary soldiers are useless against Yan Capital's Super Army, but the Special Warriors of Stupa Mountain will definitely be useful.
Why are you not sending us? In that case, Emperor Shen Lang, are you going to fight the battle against the Flame Capital City alone?
The countdown in the sky was still at one.
However, there was another countdown in everyone's mind.
There were still three hours before Yan Capital would destroy Raging Tide City.
Two hours.
One hour!
At this time, almost everyone in Raging Tide City stopped working. They walked out and looked up at the sky, waiting for the final number to change.
Because when that one turned to zero, Yan Capital would use the Super Regret of the Dragon to cleanse the land and wipe Raging Tide City off the face of the earth.
It was 11 pm on the second day of the first month. There was still an hour before the destruction.
That's right, Yan Capital's Super Regret of the Dragon would be cleansed at night.
However, at this time, all the bells rang.
This was an order. Everyone in Raging Tide City was to enter the underground defenses.
Even though Shen Lang was confident that he could intercept all the Super Regret of the Dragon in the air, everyone had to hide underground just in case.
They were really unwilling, but everyone who heard the bell still consciously entered the underground air-raid shelter.
Then, Shen Lang carried the Dragon Sword on his back and flew into the sky on Big Chao.
He closed his eyes and his boundless mental energy spread out to monitor the entire sky.
After receiving the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's spiritual inheritance, he was already very familiar with the use of mental energy.
In the open sky, his mental energy could easily monitor an area with a radius of tens of thousands of meters.
If there was a Regret of the Dragon or an enemy aerial invasion, he would be able to sense it immediately.
He looked at his watch. It was 11: 59 pm.
There was less than a minute to the final moment.
It was really ritualistic. When the one turned to zero, Yan Capital's attack would begin.
If he guessed correctly, the Yan Capital's super army should be less than 150 miles away from the Raging Tide City. However, they were in the sky and it was night time, so they couldn't be seen at all.
The word "one" in the sky above the Raging Tide City was still glaring with a blood-red light.
Countdown, ten seconds!
Nine seconds, eight seconds, seven seconds …
The countdown ended!
The "one" in the sky turned to zero.
Yan Capital's destruction had officially begun!
… …
"Time's up!" Ji Xuan looked at her watch.
"Time's up." Prince Xin Lian looked at his watch.
"Super Regret of the Dragon, the attack on the Raging Tide City officially begins!"
Princess Ji Xuan placed her hand on the ancient token ring and turned it gently.
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
Nineteen thousand meters in the air, the thirteen Nightmare Stones of Super Draconic Force all responded and flashed brightly.
"Fire!"
Princess Ji Xuan's will burst forth as she suddenly pressed the ancient token ring on her finger.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
The thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon shot out from nineteen thousand meters in the sky.
At this time, 150 miles away from the Raging Tide City.
The thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon shot out blue flames and sped up in the sky until it reached ten times the speed of sound, three thousand meters per second.
The thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon drew a beautiful arc in the sky like a meteor shower.
In the sky that was as dark as a curtain, it was especially eye-catching and breathtaking.
150 miles, 150,000 meters. To the Super Regret of the Dragon, it only took fifty seconds.
The thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon was enough to destroy everything in the Raging Tide City.
Each Super Regret of the Dragon had an explosion radius of more than three thousand five hundred meters, even four thousand meters.
In the sky, Princess Ji Xuan and Prince Xin Lian. Princess Royal looked at the thirteen meteor-like Super Regret of the Dragon.
The Raging Tide City, this strange city, was finally going to be destroyed.
This city shouldn't have existed in this world. It should be erased more than Stupa Mountain.
Princess Royal shuddered. When Stupa Mountain was destroyed, she could feel it from the control room, but she couldn't see it.
This time, she could finally see the Hell's Lotus bloom.
"Can we see the destruction of the Raging Tide City from here?" Princess Royal asked.
Ji Xuan said, "We can see the flames from 150 miles away, but the moment the Hell's Lotus blooms, the Raging Tide City will disappear."
Then, the three of them held their breaths and waited for the moment of the explosion.
… …
At this time, Shen Lang was in the sky twenty kilometers above the Raging Tide City.
It's here, it's here!
He opened his eyes and saw thirteen meteors flying in the sky thirty thousand meters away.
This scene was so beautiful that he couldn't get tired of looking at it.
The moment was finally here. I didn't stop your Flame Capital from shooting the Fake Regret of the Dragon at my army. I didn't stop you from shooting the Super Regret of the Dragon at Stupa Mountain either.
Everything had been for this moment of performance.
Now, it was time to witness a real miracle.
"Dachao, fly up, fly up!" Shen Lang ordered.
Then, Dachao welcomed the thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon and flew up.
The distance between Shen Lang and the thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon got closer and closer.
Thirty thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, ten thousand meters, three thousand meters, one thousand meters!
Time's up!
Great Wisdom King, it's time to prove your spiritual soul.
Shen Lang, it's time to prove your spiritual soul!
Immediately, boundless spiritual energy burst forth from Shen Lang's mind, and through the magnification of the Heart of the Dragon, it drilled into the Dragon Sword and was magnified once again.
"Boom boom boom …"
It was as if a silent spiritual bomb had exploded!
Instantly, the space within a ten thousand meter radius was enveloped by a special spiritual energy.
"Freeze!"
The thirteen Super Regret of the Dragon flying from Flame Capital were all frozen in the air by Shen Lang!
This was a true miracle!
