The Lord’s Empire

The Spirit Light people desperately ran, not daring to stay where they were. Behind them seemed to be a flood of ferocious beasts.

“Arghhh…” Cries sounded out as those who ran slower were caught up to by Great Qin’s black-armored soldiers. A Great Qin soldier slashed his saber at the back of a Spirit Light person, killing him in one hit. Another stabbed his spear through a Spirit Light person’s heart, and another chopped off a Spirit Light person’s head with his sword.

Great Qin’s soldiers behind the Spirit Light people were even more terrifying than a flood of ferocious beasts, and they were like a black tide of destruction.

Great Qin’s Cavalrymen raised their spears and started to charge, shooting out like arrows. They gave off ferocious momentum as they attacked at the escaping Spirit Light people.

Chi! Chi! Chi…

The Spirit Light people continuously ran in terror, wanting to escape from Great Qin’s soldiers. However, how could they outrun Cavalrymen? Black spears pierced through their chests, causing blood to fly everywhere.

The Cavalrymen sped through the battlefield, stabbing with their spears, slashing with their sabers, and killing Spirit Light people one after another. Almost no one could escape them.

Swish, swish, swish…

Arrows containing immense power shot out, tearing through the air before descending like ran. Many escaping Spirit Light people were hit by the arrows, and some immediately died while others fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

Under Great Qin’s slaughter, blood dyed the ground red, and in the end, some people started to kneel on the ground, wailing and pleading Great Qin to spare them.

Great Qin’s soldiers naturally went around them and went to kill others. Seeing that they could live, others also knelt on the ground.

Great Qin’s soldiers soon started to herd the Spirit Light people towards Cities.

News of the Spirit Light army losing had long since spread, and the residents who had been holding on to a trace of hope all felt immense despair, not knowing what to do.

Some already knelt outside the City, waiting for Great Qin to accept their surrender. They hoped to receive good treatment in Great Qin, but there were still some who tried to run or resist.

Some people took their families and carried things on their backs as they ran, but ferocious beasts sprang over and started to devour those people.

A large python quickly shot out and opened its mouth, devouring a family of four – a father, a mother, and two children – in one bite. The python’s belly bulged with human shapes, and the two children quickly died, while the two parents struggled for a while before dying.

A tiger leapt out and savagely looked at the people escaping. It opened its mouth and devoured at least one person with each bite, seeming quite happy. It did not eat as cleanly as the python, and it left blood and limbs everywhere.

A crane-like devil beast pressed two people against the ground with its claws. It disregarded the two people’s cries and struggling, and its sharp beak pierced into their heads. It guzzled on their brains like they were jellied tofu.

An enormous hedgehog devil beast had eaten its fill, but it wanted to store some food. Its spikes pierced through people one after another and hung them on its back. Now, there were ten or so people hanging on its back, including men and women, elderly and children. They had not yet died and still weakly moaned.

Zhao Fu did not give them any orders not to eat people; on the battlefield, they could eat as much as they wanted. Humans were a great source of nutrition for them and would also reduce the number of enemies while increasing their strength.

Apart from the people running away, there were some people resolutely resisting within the Cities, refusing to submit to Great Qin. They wanted to use the Cities to resist Great Qin, but Great Qin easily broke through their defenses and slaughtered those people.

All people were killed, men or women, old or young. They no longer accepted any surrenders from those who resisted, and they skinned the resistors and hung them on the City walls, making them die in pain. They did not show any mercy towards these people.

On that day, the Spirit Light World turned blood-red, and the stench of blood was everywhere, as was the sound of pitiful cries. The ground was covered with corpses, and the sky seemed to be dyed blood-red as well. The wind howled and seemed quite mournful.

Zhao Fu had already arrived at the Spirit Light World’s Godly Spirit Palace and sat on the throne. After four days, Great Qin had complete control over the Spirit Light World, and all resisting factions had been destroyed. The Godly Spirit Palace had belonged to the Spirit Light World’s most powerful faction, which was Kamen’s faction.

The resistance here had been quite strong, and Great Qin had killed almost everyone here; the corpses piled outside formed mountains.

Zhao Fu listened to the reports of their gains and smiled. After conquering the Spirit Light World, they had gained even more than when they had conquered the Dark Demon World. They had obtained 46 billion people and nearly 80,000 Cities.

Great Qin now had 300 billion people, which was a shocking number. This was the population of four worlds, as well as half of the population from the Grassi World, Half-Beast World, and Elf World. It was almost seven worlds in total.

This was getting close to the population of a Royal Kingdom; most newly-established Royal Kingdoms had around 400 billion people.

Great Qin now had 420,000 Cities, and they could now create tens of thousands more war beasts. However, because the City Lord Seal stats had been reduced, the power of the war beasts created would be weaker. Despite this, the war beasts were still one of Great Qin’s most terrifying cards.

Apart from the population and Cities, Great Qin also obtained great amounts of resources. Most of them were the usual things, but there were a few special items.

The first was the golden doors that the Spirit Light World had used in the past when they had attacked the Dark Demon World. They could allow soldiers to quickly pass through worlds, and with this item, Great Qin would be able to cross worlds even without Yu Ling.

Moreover, these golden doors were of the lowest level, and if they could gather rare materials, they could create golden doors that would be able to span a few worlds. In other words, they would be able to instantly mass-teleport a few worlds away. Zhao Fu was quite pleased to have obtained these golden doors.

The second item was also something that the Spirit Light people had used in the past, the technique to summon the Spirit Light God Emissaries. They were the 100 meter tall giants that the white-robed priests had summoned, and they had powerful Holy Light attacks.

Because the priests were quite special, there were all sorts of limitations. There could only be 40,000 priests, who could summon 40,000 Spirit Light God Emissaries, which made Zhao Fu feel quite disappointed.

The third item was a white jade that was three meters wide, and it was a square shape. It was quite smooth and gave off a trace of warmth. It floated in the air and gave off a white light as well as a dense God Race aura.
