The clash of the Xuan Gods drew much attention.

Countless people were watching.

"I'll destroy your blade light!"

Feng Jun was highly serious as he slammed out with his palm, and millions of strands of Xuan spiritual light intertwined.

He knew very well that the ability of a swordsman like Xu Dao was all in his sword.

This kind of swordsman forged his blade himself, pouring countless efforts into it, even using his own blood to consecrate the sword, merging it with his sword spirit.

Even if he was given an imperial-grade long sword, he wouldn't exchange it.

The sword was his life, everything he was, imbued with his own sword spirit. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

Xu Dao was calm, slashing his sword, the sword light filled the sky, creating a world of the blade, a solitary swordsman, fearing neither life nor death in his devotion to his craft.

The subtle mysteries of his swordsmanship were all displayed at this very moment.

"Rage Flame Ignition!"

A spark of flame rolled out like raging fire, Feng Jun's mana was profound.

His whole being was like it was set ablaze with anger, its power instantly condensed to the extreme, a palm of heavenly fire surrounding Xu Dao to erode him.

In Xu Dao's eyes, only Feng Jun existed, he swung his sword once after the other.

"Ten Thousand Illusions, Shifting Shadows!"

Around Xu Dao, ten thousand figure of Feng Jun appeared, each emitting the same essence, vitality and spirit, all attacking him simultaneously.

But Xu Dao knew that only one was the real Feng Jun, he focused his gaze and suddenly swung his sword forward, hitting a solid object, blood splattered out, revealing the real Feng Jun.

"So fearsome!" Feng Jun was shocked, "worthy of being a swordsman, with one stroke, you broke my Ten Thousand Illusions, but to beat me, this is not enough."

Infinite mana blast!

Feng Jun's strike truly revealed his full power, with one move, heaven and earth reversed, as if thousands of stars were falling from the void, intending to obliterate everything.

However, the battlefield transformed by the Nation's fortune absorbed his power.

"The swordsman does not retreat!"

In the face of Feng Jun's onslaught, Xu Dao was fearless and composed, even if he was to die the next moment, he would not frown, continuing forward, displaying the dominance of his sword.

Swordsmen are free-spirited, wandering the world like immortals.

Blade fighters are domineering, breaking everything with a single slash, death in battle is their glory.

Boom!

The domineering light of the blade turned into a brilliant glow, Xu Dao used the most domineering power to shatter Feng Jun's force, his strike landing on Feng Jun. The horrifying force caused Feng Jun to spit fresh blood.

"I lost!"

Feng Jun, clutching his chest, realized he had lost, "Even in a life-and-death struggle, I am no match for you, worthy of being an incredibly rare swordsman, your blade skill is powerful."

He was direct, admitting his defeat.

He looked at the battlefield, not a single sign of destruction was evident, even Xu Dao's domineering blade light did not penetrate it.

Chu Yuan waved his hand, dispersing the battlefield.

"Emperor Dawu, not long ago, the Everlasting Empire of Qingmu had sent envoys to Xuan Ling Sect, but my sect does not wish to involve in the struggle, I think they are planning to contend with you guys."

Feng Jun left these words behind, his face was depressed, and he said, "I take my leave!"

Despite the disgrace, but being able to cultivate to Xuan God status, how many would care about face? He has to report today's events to the Sect Master.

Under the suppression of 'Nation's fortune' in Dawu, he felt highly oppressed and did not want to stay for long.

"We've won!"

The people of Dawu saw that Xu Dao had defeated Xuan God of Xuan Ling Sect, and everyone erupted with cheers.

Xuan Gods were the true high-level forces.

Only a dynasty with exceedingly powerful Xuan Gods could secure its territory.

Xu Dao's face remained expressionless as he was contemplating the enlightenment brought about by the battle.

"Xu Dao, follow me to a place."

Chu Yuan took Xu Dao to the Ancient Battlefield Altar.

"What is this place?"

Xu Dao looked at the surrounding environment of the Primordial Chaos and exclaimed, "It feels like I have entered a simulated world with my thoughts, this place should be mimicking the Primordial Chaos world, but it feels so realistic, almost like the real world."

"This is the Ancient Battlefield Altar, where the Dawu conducts military training. Here you can set opponents with various strengths and attributes."

Chu Yuan continued, "In front of you is a swordsman, who has been simulated to match your strength level, defeat him."

To have Xuan God level combatants train, a vast amount of divine rocks was needed, but Chu Yuan did not care.

Xu Dao engaged in combat with his simulated counterpart. That swordsman had been inputted with data recorded from Xu Dao's duel with Feng Jun, resulting in a formidable opponent.

"How does it feel?" inquired Chu Yuan.

"Amazing, this opponent can perfectly replicate my sword skills, it truly feels like I am dueling with another version of myself!"

Excitement filled Xu Dao's eyes, a rare sight.

"The more comprehensive your fighting techniques are, the more accurate the data recorded will be. The simulated opponent would be almost identical to you. Fighting against yourself, you can clearly see your own weak points. In addition to this, you can select any type of opponent."

Chu Yuan explained.

"It's extremely fascinating. While it does not provide the thrills of true life-and-death fights, I can practice against opponents I previously would not have encountered."

Xu Dao felt he had made the right move coming here.

In other places, where would you find such a realistic simulation environment for training?

"Stay here and train well." Chu Yuan left him there.

At the beginning of the forty-second year of Dawu.

Throughout this year, numerous resources had been procured.

Especially after the dynasty ascended to eight stars, the influx of powerful warriors greatly accelerated the development of the dynasty's resource excavation.

The Eastern Beginning Forbidden Land, initially stationed not far from Windfall City, had to strategically retreat to avoid conflict with Dawu.

As soon as they left, Dawu immediately dispatched troops to occupy more areas.

At present, this was a relatively peaceful period for all major powers to gather resources.

"The number of Starry Sky Battleships is growing too slowly, there is a shortage of Xuan God level Refining Masters, purification of materials is slow."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

In recent times, most of the Starry Sky Battleships he had been constructing were defensive versions.

In the God Mountain, after all, it was not outside the realm, high mobility was not needed, what was important was how well the warships coordinated with the great army.

"The Divine Army has also recruited up to a hundred thousand troops."

Chu Yuan had annexed so much territory along with a constant influx of experts from outside, which led the Divine Army's number to exceed a hundred thousand.

A hundred thousand were very few for a large army.

But these hundred thousand were the elite forces of the dynasty, each one a formidable warrior of the same realm.

They included swordsmen like Xu Dao, Xuan God quintuple rank like Flame Demon, and unique talents like Mist Spirit who could cast a foggy illusion city.

If it was not for Chu Yuan's strict control, the number of the Divine Army would be even greater.

For the Divine Army, Chu Yuan was not simply expanding the numbers. He would only select the most elite fighters, maintaining a high standard of combat readiness.

"News from the God Mountain world."

Chu Yuan looked at the coming messages, upon opening the first letter, his face lit up with joy. But when he opened the second, his face turned icy, instantly becoming stern.

"The Divine Army, follow me back to the God Mountain World!"

The moment he received the news, he immediately decided to return to the God Mountain World!
