Chapter 355: Chapter 356 The Birth of the Empire

(Starting from tomorrow, to make it convenient for everyone to see the updates, the update times will be set for two chapters before 7 a.m. and one chapter at 7:30 p.m.)

The eldest prince of the Qin Dynasty is a waste?

The Qin Dynasty is not worth mentioning?

Lin Qian’s words shocked everyone, they were astonished by his outrageous arrogance.

The Qin Dynasty called the Huaxia Empire a minor country, and everyone agreed because they saw nothing wrong with this statement; Coastal State was indeed a very remote place.

How strong could the Huaxia Empire be, ruling over such an insignificant and remote place?

Even though Lin Qian was currently undergoing his Soul Tribulation, and if successful, would be able to reach the Life and Death Realm of the Soul Realm, people believed his wandering around during the tribulation could only lead to failure.

Moreover, it seemed that Lin Qian reached the Soul Realm at such a young age, but actually Qin Yunyu had reached the Heart Realm of the Life and Death Realm at merely twenty!

Breaking through from the Life and Death Realm to the Awakening Realm is extremely difficult—there’s a vast chasm between the two realms that’s very hard to cross.

So in their eyes, Lin Qian was nothing compared to Qin Yunyu.

What they didn’t know was that Lin Qian only started his cultivation as a teenager and because of the presence of the Sky Trace in his body from the Huaxia Empire, the burden on his physique was extremely large.

The continuous nature’s spiritual energy refined into Soul Power and washed over his body, making Lin Qian’s physique far exceed those of the same realm from the moment he was in the Basic Three Realms.

Having lived two lives, his soul, blessed by the nation’s fate, had shattered the powerful alien souls like Nan Xin, and legendary figures like Yuan Xiang, with the imprints of their bodies, dared not come close.

Don’t forget, Lin Qian’s Martial Soul is one more than others—his Soul Power attributes now total three.

Thus, the difficulty of Lin Qian’s realm advancement is a thousand to ten thousand times more challenging than ordinary people!

Were it not for the continuous improvements of the Emperor’s Decision by the Huaxia Empire’s Heavenly Art Department and the infusing of spiritual energy from Sky Trace, it would take Lin Qian at least twenty years to move up by one small realm in the Life and Death Realm.

It is precisely for this reason that Lin Qian’s combat power is frighteningly strong.

Lin Qian’s words had already caused Qin Yunyu’s face to darken tremendously, staring at the former with a chilling tone, “Do you know that your words can send you to a place of no return?”

Qin Yunyu’s anger prompted laughter among the geniuses of the Qin Dynasty behind him; they were very much looking forward to the torment of the young man before them.

In other places in the forested waters of the Two States, there were also members of other powers from the Southern Domain lurking in the shadows. They were dispatched here to observe the outcome of the battle between the Qin Dynasty and the three powers, to obtain first-hand news.

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, they too found it amusing and shook their heads in dismissal.

“Perhaps you are unaware, but I have already made arrangements with the Qingfeng Sect and Yingshan Sect, which are adjacent to the insignificant country you occupy in Coastal State. As soon as the Qin Dynasty goes to war with the three powers, they will attack your pathetic little country,”

“With the added word of my father, the Emperor, the people from Qi Province, Diao Shun State, and Nanying State have probably also set out, ready to attack your territory together,”

At this point, when Qin Yunyu looked at Lin Qian, his expression bore a trace of pity, “Poor thing, your Emperor is probably all alone by now. Oh, no, that’s not right. You still have a senior brother and a little brother, hahaha!”

“Hmm?” Upon hearing Qin Yunyu’s words, Lin Qian simply inquired with Zhuge Ming and immediately knew the current situation in Coastal State.

“This is bad, Brother Lin…” Hearing Qin Yunyu’s words, Li Yunfeng inwardly panicked and quickly looked towards Lin Qian, to find that the latter’s face showed no sign of panic or anger.

Subsequently, he also looked at Lei Qian and Gao Benli, only to find the two of them bursting out laughing.

“`

“It’s really quite amusing that they dare to attack the Huaxia Empire? If we hadn’t laid a hand on them, they should’ve been thanking their lucky stars already. Yet, they have the audacity to strike us!” Gao Benli laughed so hard he could barely catch his breath, finding it ridiculously funny alongside Lei Qian.

Lei Qian nodded in agreement and asked Lin Qian, “Boss, what’s the situation in the Coastal State now?”

“They’ve already entered the Coastal State. The first they attacked were the Wanxiang Sect and Divine Sword Sect, but Xinxin has already sent people to aid them. There shouldn’t be any problems,” Lin Qian said, a smile creeping across his face, “It looks like our Empire is about to gain three more states.”

As Lin Qian spoke, far away in the territory of the Coastal State, the people from Qi Province, Diao Shun State, and Nanying State who were attacking the Huaxia Empire were fleeing in utter panic.

No matter how they ran, they couldn’t outrun the Soul Power arrows shooting swiftly from behind.

The Sect Master in control of Qi Province floated aimlessly midair, staring at the young woman on the phoenix-drawn carriage across from him with an icy gaze fixed on him.

“How could this be?” the bewildered Sect Master gazed at the corpses of his disciples on the ground, utterly baffled as to why this was happening.

Upon entering the Coastal State, they had been shocked by the rich concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and Earth.

The Spirit Wood was everywhere, along with the thick nature’s spiritual energy, which turned their eyes red with greed. Such a splendid place left to the tiny Huaxia Empire—what a waste of heaven’s gifts.

But as they prepared to attack, they found a phoenix-drawn carriage hurtling from afar, followed by a flock of soldiers in light armor with longbows, flying in pursuit.

As soon as these soldiers with longbows appeared, they lined up in a single row; at a wave from the woman on the carriage, they raised their bows and attacked them directly.

The other side didn’t ask who they were or what their intentions were; they just launched a decisive assault.

There were at least hundreds of thousands of these archers, and the air around them grew tense with fear, quickly turning into terror.

The Life and Death Realm!

Hundreds of thousands from the Life and Death Realm!

They knew that the combined forces of the Three States, along with the elders from Qingfeng Sect and Yingshan Sect, only amounted to about a hundred from the Life and Death Realm.

Arrows of Soul Power shot from a distance, piercing through one’s heart before they could even see clearly; that person dropped dead on the spot.

People from the Three States fled in a panic, but the arrows that followed seemed to have eyes of their own.

“Master Feng, I was wrong, so wrong!” an elder from the Qingfeng Sect cried out in sorrow and regret as he clutched his pierced heart.

Now he understood why the Sect Master had chosen to join the Huaxia Empire, why he was willing to submit, and why attacking the Huaxia Empire was simply a death wish.

Thud!

The elder fell to the ground, still clutching the spot over his heart, as blood flowed ceaselessly through his fingers.

“Yes, it’s simply a death wish…” With these last murmured words, the elder breathed his last.

Ye Xin, aboard the phoenix carriage, suppressed the urge to vomit and sat with a frigid expression as she watched the assailants from the Three States being killed by the low-ranking archers of the Life and Death Realm.

The Huaxia Empire needed to establish its might and step onto the stage of the Southern Domain.

Ye Xin couldn’t help but recall Lin Qian’s words when he left…

“It’s time for the Huaxia Empire to emerge!”
