Chapter 680: The First Year of Shenwu_1
After taming the dragon and phoenix, and taking control of the demon clan, Chu Yuan used the Nine Extremes Divine Light treasure map to open a treasure space within the Demon Territory.
Upon opening it, he saw a pitch-black fog, as if it was a presence akin to ink,
Touching it lightly, the fog suddenly erupted with boundless darkness, its core was filled with infinite dark light.
Sudden darkness enveloped his sight, even the holiest of gods would not see the light, the darkness has completely devoured the brightness.
"World of Darkness, Light of Darkness."
Chu Yuan sealed this dark beam.
He had tested it, this Light of Darkness could swallow all forms of light.
Imagine during a grand battle, suddenly being engulfed in darkness, this momentary darkness could cause an unexpected turn in battle while teetering between life and death.
Collecting this Light of Darkness, Chu Yuan returned to the Demon Clan.
The once unparalleled Phoenix Tribe and Dragon Clan within the Demon Territory had fallen from their divine pedestal, this vast land was now under Chu Yuan's control and became part of the Divine Martial Territory, linked with the Imperial City.
However, Chu Yuan wasn't jubilant.
His goal was to control the entire Eternal World, a mere Demon Territory was merely the beginning of the eternity.
The Heavenly Dragon Saint and Purple Cloud Phoenix were Chu Yuan's carriage, returning to the Imperial City.
All the powerful demon clans were incorporated into the demon beast army and led by the Saint Turtle Demon Saint. This significantly increased the Empire's strength.
"The Demon Territory has been conquered, the Heavenly Dragon Saint and Purple Cloud Phoenix are now under the control of the Divine Martial Emperor, they pull his carriage. The Saint Turtle Demon Saint joined the Divine Martial Emperor, the power of the Demon Territory has been absorbed into the rule of the Divine Martial Empire!"
The conquest of the Demon Territory, this major disappearance gathered the Five Emperors together again.
They did not anticipate that the Divine Martial Empire would launch a sweeping attack on the demon clan, nor did they think that the Demon Territory would fall so quickly.
"The Heavenly Dragon Saint and the Purple Cloud Phoenix are completely useless. They were directly suppressed by the Divine Martial Emperor and used to pull his carriage. They are useless, the ancient Emperor knew it from ancient times, they are not of big use.
If they weren't depending on the Dragon Nest and Phoenix Nest, they would have been eliminated a long time ago, would they still exist till today?"
Fen Tian, the Fire Burning Great Emperor, became furious immediately upon hearing this news.
"Yes, the Heavenly Dragon Saint and Purple Cloud Phoenix are indeed useless, but the fact that the Divine Martial Emperor can conquer the Demon Territory further proves his strength, more terrifying than we originally imagined. What surprises me the most is, the Saint Turtle Demon Saint actually joined the Divine Martial Emperor."
The Geng Metal Splitting Sky Great Emperor was astonished.
In ancient times, he used his strongest sword to challenge the Saint Turtle Demon Saint but was unable to pierce his defence.
Five emperors were unable to annex the Demon Clan because they feared the Heavenly Dragon Saint, the Phoenix Purple Cloud and the Saint Turtle Demon Saint.
"Let's put aside those wastes in the Demon Territory for now. My focus is only on the Divine Martial Emperor!"
Fen Tian, the Fire Burning Great Emperor, declared: "How is your preparation going? My empire is ready. We can set off on the expedition at any time, targeting the Divine Martial forces. We can no longer give the Divine Martial Emperor any chances, we have to directly attack and annihilate him this time!"
"We are also ready. Fen Tian, the Fire Burning Great Emperor, don't be too anxious. This time the Five Great Empires will attack the Divine Martial Empire with all their might because this concerns our future major plan!"
The Thick Earth Black Emperor calmly responded:" There's less than a month left to the Emperor's Feast hosted by the Divine Martial Emperor. We will attack at that time, when he is filled with pride we will deliver the cruelest blow, destroying the Divine Martial Empire."
"This is called a thought of heaven and a thought of hell. It is not a good feeling to fall from heaven to hell."
The Blackwater Inundating Sky Great Emperor responded.
"Haha, well, let him experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell. Many forces will attend the Emperor's Feast. We will take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them all out in one swoop, controlling all the powers of the Eternal World!"
Fen Tian, the Fire Burning Great Emperor sneered.
"Destroying the Divine Martial is only the first step in our plan. Inside the Eternal God City lies the original divine object of the Eternal World. We have to acquire it in one go this time. We left in ancient times in order to seek and explore the relics of the gods."
The Thick Earth Black Emperor knew a lot:" We still have a great terror to deal with in the Eternal World."
Mentioning this great terror, the faces of the Five Emperors became much more serious.
Suddenly, the other four emperors turned to look at the reticent Everlasting Green Emperor,"Everlasting Green Emperor, what do you think of the Eternal God City?"
The Everlasting Green Emperor was the most mysterious among the Five Emperors.
"Discussing the matter of the God City is still premature at the moment. Let's destroy the Divine Martial Empire first, otherwise it's meaningless."
The Everlasting Green Emperor smiled:" I am also ready."
"Okay, then let's decide to move our forces during the Divine Martial Emperor's Feast!"
The Five Ancient Emperors seemed to have discussed everything.
At this moment, within the Divine Martial Empire, Chu Yuan did not pay too much attention to the actions of the Five Emperors because he knew that the battle would ultimately arrive, and the Five Emperors would not continue to give him time to develop.
In fact, with the size of the Divine Martial Empire, it was already difficult to hide its power.
Each day, the growth of the Divine Martial Empire's power fell in the eyes of the Five Emperors.
"On the day of the Emperor's Feast, there will be a great decisive battle."
Chu Yuan sat quietly on the Slaughter God Throne.
He was the only one in the Divine Martial Hall, his face calm, also waiting for this great battle.
The Saint Turtle Demon Saint couldn't continue to be as serene as before, he led all the demon-beast army, training in the way of the Divine Martial, and would also be Chu Yuan's powerful force to face the coming battle.
But, of course, Chu Yuan didn't need him to deal with the Five Emperors. Instead, he needed him to contend with the power beyond the Five Emperors.
This ancient Five Emperors, only he could handle.
Another half a month passed.
The Imperial City erupted with excited boiling noises again.
The Demon Lock Tower promoted.
It upgraded to a Sacred Divine Artifact!
Although the current Divine Martial didn't lack a Sacred Divine Artifact, the Demon Lock Tower was different. Chu Yuan spent a lot of divine gold to construct it. Standing in the Divine Martial Imperial City, it was also a symbol of the Divine Martial.
He sat there alone for a very long time.
No one disturbed him.
No one knew what he was thinking about at the moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of bells suddenly echoed throughout.
It was the bell of the Empire.
"The Great Martial Year is here!"
Chu Yuan's gaze was drawn to the outside world.

It was the bell of the Great Martial Year, also the first bell of the Empire. Then, bells rang everywhere, shocking the entire Divine Martial Empire.
From today onwards, the Great Martial Year was a thing of the past, the Divine Martial Year began.
Even though Chu Yuan had announced the establishment of the Divine Martial Empire before, it was still the Great Martial Year. But now it was different, from this moment on, the nation moved into a new era, the Divine Martial Year.
The first year of the Divine Martial, the first month and the first day!
Everything started from here.
"A new year, the Divine Martial Year!"
Chu Yuan's realm broke through to the 10th Level Master God at the beginning of the Divine Martial Year, with the endless luck of a vast empire pouring into him!
