It is precisely because of the legendary nature of the Dao Lord that his strength far surpasses that of a sixth-tier Celestial Immortal. The gap between them is much greater than the difference between a fourth-tier and a third-tier Celestial Immortal!
Therefore, to be honest, everyone was quite nervous facing Xu Fu's meticulously prepared attack. Emperor Ling, in particular, immediately stood up, no longer caring about continuing to channel magical power into his ancestor Liu Bang.
With a whoosh, accompanied by a flash of sword light, the enormous hand slowed down slightly, but only slightly.
As for Wang Yue, who unleashed that sword strike, he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Even the Chun Jun sword in his arms had dimmed considerably.
The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!
As Cai Yong spoke, a massive amount of righteous energy swiftly arrived before the black palm, directly merging into it and continuously breaking down the energy within.
Unfortunately, after a short while, even the righteous energy lost its effect. It can only be said that the difference between the seventh and sixth tiers is truly vast. It's like a master who has shattered the void can hunt down grandmaster-level experts at will. At this moment, the numerous early-stage sixth-tier experts were truly powerless.
Seeing the crowd's repeated failures, Emperor Ling had no choice but to step forward. He held the Emperor's Sword in his right hand and the He Shi Bi jade in his left.
"The emperor, in ancient times, meant heaven and light, and was called emperor because he gave life to all things. The emperor was the master of all living things and the source of prosperity, and was called emperor because he had the power to give birth. Today, I, by the decree of the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, command all the spiritual energy in the world to come and assist me."
This is the power of the emperor. In classical feudal times, the emperor governed both the human world and the spirits. Among the six imperial seals, one was specifically used for bestowing titles upon spirits and deities.
To put it roughly, the emperor can be seen as a combination of the human emperor who manages mortals and the heavenly emperor who manages ghosts and gods and deals with faith; that is, the so-called divine emperor.
If that's the case, then the emperor must have certain privileges. Otherwise, why would the emperor still need to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and oversee the mountains and rivers every year?
Just like now, Emperor Ling, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had several opportunities to directly command the Heavenly Dao and make it cooperate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man seemed to freeze for a moment. In the next instant, countless streams of innate spiritual energy surged out from many inconspicuous corners.
Because of their sheer quantity, these spiritual energies appeared as a mist, immediately heading towards the mountains and dragon veins of various regions. Then, following the connections of the earth's veins, they surged into the capital city, passed through the imperial palace, and arrived at the Emperor's sword in the hands of the Spirit Emperor.
It must be said that the Han Dynasty, having suppressed the world for ten thousand years, possessed a rather rich foundation. Like now, even though the attack from a seventh-tier Dao Lord was somewhat flawed, it was still blocked, wasn't it?
However, within just a few breaths, a tremendous change occurred inside the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
"Not bad, the Han Dynasty has a strong foundation, which makes it even better." Looking at Emperor Ling, who had easily blocked his attack, Xu Fu suddenly laughed.
Then, this wisp of spirit appeared directly in the center of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, made a few strange hand seals, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl rapidly changed according to the predetermined steps. In just over a dozen breaths, a brand new world appeared.
"Using a world as bait, I refuse to believe that Heaven will not take the bait. Besides..." With that, the divided spirit disappeared.
With a deafening roar, Lin Yang suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake. This wasn't an illusion; it was a real earthquake. However, it only shook once before stopping.
Seeing this, Lin Yang's heart sank. The original owner of this body also had a place called Yingzhou in his memories. However, the original owner didn't know much about it. Lin Yang only knew that it was related to the Immortal Qin Dynasty.
What's even more peculiar is that in this lifetime, Lin Yang still couldn't find Yingzhou in the East Sea. Only now did Lin Yang understand the whole story. So Yingzhou was originally a world, a world sent here by the Immortal Qin!
That's incredibly extravagant, isn't it!
Great Han Dynasty, will you merge with it?
No merger!
Let's raise funds! Correspondingly, there's a Xuan-level world. Entering the Han Dynasty, a Xuan-level world is enough to transform into a province! Furthermore, one can gain partial access to that world!
So here's the question: what about a lower-level world? If it were a lower-level world, could it be transformed into a continent and then gain control over about half of the world?
(When the world merges, the authority one originally held will naturally decrease, just like a company raising funds will have more money but fewer shares. Money is the world, and shares are authority.)
Looking at the scene in the universe, Xu Fu couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, the world inside the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl has now been completely integrated into this world. Even the Han Dynasty cannot oppose it. Opposing the integration of this world would mean losing the Heavenly Dao authority that has been painstakingly accumulated, and then the Han Dynasty would be doomed even faster. So, King of Han, why don't you surrender?" Xu Fu continued.
To be honest, this tactic has always been effective, and many powerful worlds have fallen victim to it in the past.
I'll first gift you a small world, filled with people from the Immortal Qin. This way, when the people of the Immortal Qin enter on a large scale next time, they can avoid the so-called suppression by the Heavenly Dao.
After all, not every soldier possesses a treasure that can suppress evil spirits. If they suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, they'll end up just like the Burning Legion's cannon fodder!
But with the creation of this small world, everything changed. This world is quite special; it doesn't exclude the Immortal Qin.
The army of Xianqin could enter this world first and adapt for a period of time, so that the Heavenly Dao of the Three Kingdoms world would no longer reject them.
Then, the formal attack on the Han Dynasty would begin. In this way, by continuously wearing them down, victory would undoubtedly be achieved by the Immortal Qin. Of course, all of this hinges on the premise that this world remains under Xu Fu's control!
"You should obtain the authority over this world first. The creator god and the world lord are two completely different things!" Liu Bang said fiercely, looking at the world around him that was shimmering with spiritual light.
This world was indeed created by Xu Fu, so he possessed many privileges, but that did not mean he was the master of the world.
Specifically, one can refer to Pangu and Hongjun. Pangu created the primordial world, but later, the master of the primordial world was Hongjun! Even if Pangu were to come back to life after the Investiture of the Gods by the Three Teachings, his control over the entire world might not be comparable to that of the Taoist Hongjun.
Mount Buzhou has been destroyed, and the direct lineage of the Wu Clan is finished. The Three Pure Ones, the direct lineage, have long since submitted to Hongjun. Even if they were to awaken, they would never regain their position as rulers of the world.
Now, although Xu Fu created this world, due to various reasons (mainly the restrictions of the Three Kingdoms world that prevent him from entering), he is unable to personally arrive at this world.
In this way, the Han Dynasty will have the opportunity to learn from Hongjun Daoist and smash all the things left behind by Xu Fu, the creator of the world, to pieces! At that time, it will truly digest this world and strengthen its foundation!
"This is the current situation. What do you think?" Emperor Ling suddenly asked.
Beside him stood nine high-ranking officials from the cabinet, representing the interests of commoners, aristocratic families, the court, royalty, and nobility. At this moment, the nine men were unusually united in their efforts; if the Han Dynasty were truly annexed by the Immortal Qin, the vast majority of its people would meet a terrible end.
“I just tried, but I can’t break through that world directly. At this moment, the world is still evolving, so it is naturally protected by the Heavenly Dao. If I force it, I will only incur divine punishment, and the consequences will be unimaginable.” Ma Teng looked at his gray and painful right hand and said with a dark face.
His right hand had just been struck several times by divine lightning. If Ma Teng hadn't reacted quickly and escaped back to Luoyang City, he might already be trapped in the sea of lightning.
“We can’t get in, but the people of Xianqin certainly can’t get in either. Just now, I set up a formation made of pure righteous energy around the Dinghai Pearl. For the time being, Xu Fu won’t be able to interfere with that world,” Cai Yong continued.
"We can send a few blessed lands in first to check the situation. If that doesn't work, we can send a Xuan-level world in and merge with it. Then we can have a small-scale world-grabbing war," Xun Shuang suggested.
"That's right, and we can also find someone to take the blame in advance. If all else fails, at the last moment, even if we are punished by the heavens, we will destroy this world!" Cao Song suddenly said with murderous intent.
