Bright Fist of Massacre

The Bright Fist of Massacre is martial fighting technique, employed by King Gangke during the battle of Talas. King Gangke employs this technique in the fight against the Ghareeb Hassam.

The callous Gangke King suddenly lunged forward like a large bird toward the nearly twenty-meter giant. *Buzz!* As his right fist punched forward, the air in a radius of several dozen zhang began to twist. A large illusion of a fist appeared behind him, then a second, a third, a fourth, and then hundreds upon hundreds of them. These countless fists fused into a mountainous fist that smashed into the red-bearded giant’s body.

The Bright Fist of Massacre was a fist style the Gangke King had learned from a mysterious expert during his early years, when he had studied in the Central Plains. This fist style grew stronger when facing a stronger opponent. At its strongest, it could exhibit four times one’s strength, though it would place a correspondingly large burden on one’s body. Upon receiving it, the Gangke King began to research the technique, even combining it with the martial learnings of the Western Regions. In the end, he had succeeded in increasing the limit to five times his strength while also reducing the burden on his body, creating the current form of the Bright Fist of Massacre. (Ch.966)
Formation Elder Zhou

The Formation Elder was a grandmaster of formations, perhaps the most formidable formation master of the current age.

This person is extremely sensitive to the gazes of others because of his height. While the Formation Elder had an unforgiving mouth, he didn’t have a bad heart. But because of his height, he was particularly sensitive when anyone was looking in his direction, even if they weren’t actually looking at him.

## Appearance

A short and aged man wearing a gray robe and stroking a white beard that seemed to be made of steel needles strode forward, a disdainful look in his eyes.
Blazing Sun Art

A Psychic World created by Wang Chong.

Psychic Energy experts could transform into almost everything they wanted, all except the sun. To them, this was unthinkable! In the history of Psychic Energy arts, many supreme experts had been able to transform their mind into the moon, but nobody had ever succeeded in taking the form of the sun. At best, they could take the form of a ball of light. This was because no one knew the true appearance of the sun. Some people once imagined the sun to be a large ball of fire, but all they had managed to create was a ball of fire, not the sun. This was the dream of all Psychic Energy practitioners since ancient times.

The blazing sun first began to retract inward, and then it began to rapidly swell. In a flash, it was a hundred times larger, and then a thousand times larger, spreading its bright and righteous energy throughout the world.

If one looked carefully, one could see that the sun manifested by Wang Chong’s Psychic Energy was growing more and more detailed. The corona of this sun was rising and falling, with waves of heat splashing across its surface. Farther down below, countless streams of turbulence could be seen surging through the atmosphere with a complexity many times greater than before. Moreover, the stable sunspots and solar flares along the sun’s surface suddenly began to appear and disappear with much greater frequency.

In short, if Wang Chong’s sun was initially only ten percent similar to the real sun, through application of his Psychic Energy, Wang Chong had pushed it to nearly forty percent. As a result, the heat exuded by the sun grew greater and greater, sweeping through the Psychic World with unstoppable preassure.
Qutaybah

The Arabian Empire’s most illustrious governor: the Governor of War, Qutaybah!

Qutaybah is known as the Governor of War. Under his command, the Arab army had advanced by leaps and bounds, crossing the Mediterranean Sea, occupying Tarsus, and even conquering all the way to the Black Sea. Qutaybah hungered for war even more than Abu Muslim did.

Abu Muslim enjoyed conquest, enjoyed subduing different empires and their peoples, but Qutaybah enjoyed war for the sake of war. Wherever there was war, one could find Qutaybah.

In the Arabian Empire, this name was even more famous than those of the Governor of Iron and Blood, the Governor of Cairo, and the Mameluke Commander, the three conquerors of the Khorasan Dynasty. In Arabia, this was the governor who had fought the most wars, killed the most experts, and destroyed the most empires.

## Martial Arts

War God Fortress - chapter 1064

This was one of the mighty techniques with which Qutaybah had stunned the world and made his name. Although it was just a thin layer, it was nigh invincible. In his military career, Qutaybah had encountered many opponents, but none of them had ever succeeded in breaking through his War God Fortress!
Fang Xiaoyan

She is from Wushang (A place in China).

Someone Wang Chong met in his previous life, but at that time Wushang village has been destroyed by the Abbasid Caliphate (Arabia).

She with remaining 6,000 Wushang village members make Wushang cavalry, and became the mightiest army under the command of Wang Chong in his previous life.

Her grandfather, a Martial Saint, was originally the head of Wushang village, after the war she becomes de-facto leader of the remaining villagers.

An expert of the Great General level leading several Saint Martial experts, a large number of Imperial Martial experts, and fifty to sixty thousand villagers at the True Martial or Profound Martial realm… The strength of Wushang Village was tantamount to a regular army with astonishing strength, a miniature protectorate army.
Ashina Sugan

## Past Life

He was called Ashina Sugan right now, but in the future, he would have an infamous Han name that would be known throughout the Central Plains: Shi Siming!

This person had played a critical role in that rebellion against the empire. If An Yaluoshan was the greatest leader of the rebellion on the front stage, than Shi Siming was the greatest leader of the rebellion from behind the curtain!

It was like how Zhao Jingdian back then had helped Wang Chong, assisting him for decades in hot or cold, in the north or south, acting as his right and left arms.

To An Yaluoshan, Ashina Sugan was his Zhao Jingdian, his right and left arms.

These two people were the two largest banners for the three rebel armies of the northwest!

## Appearance

A Hu with a hawkish nose and sunken eyes. Although he was a Hu, he was completely different from others. His face was thin and slender, his face white and clean, and his wavy hair was extremely rare among the Hu. He had a rather scholarly air about him, and when he opened his slender eyes, he gave off the aura of a strategist.
Jiudu Fuluo

This was one of the three strongest Great Generals of the Western Turkic Khaganate. His eyes were sharp and fierce, and his status was no less than Duwu Sili’s. Duwu Sili had been sent to the northwest to fight at Talas, while the Sanmi Great General Jiudu Fuluo had been stationed in the southern part of the steppe by Ishbara Khagan to deal with the Tang army under An Sishun’s command.
Iron Cloak Highwaymen

capturing numerous caravans, rich in valuable goods, the Iron Cloak Bandits became rich and powerful and accumulated a lot of power, until they became a real army, becoming the biggest problem in the Silk Road and a great problem for the Great Tang Empire ...

Wang Chong, leading the army of the Great Tang Empire, leads a great military campaign against the army of the Iron Cloak Bandits, in the lands of the Silk Road, starting a war, with which Wang Chong manages to defeat both Iron Cloak Li than the army of the Iron Cloak Bandits
Gao Shang

If Wang Chong had been here, he would have certainly been stunned. This unremarkable, middle-aged scholar was a man that he had expended a vast amount of manpower to find, but he had still failed.

In the end, after many twists and turns, he had still come to Youzhou and become An Yaluoshan’s advisor. While An Yaluoshan was ambitious, he had lived in the northeast almost his entire life, so he did not understand the situation in the Central Plains. The same was true for Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi.

But Gao Shang was different. He was a true native of the interior, and he had wandered through many parts of the land. He knew the Central Plains like the back of his hand.

Although he was so weak that he couldn’t even truss a chicken, his heart was burning with resentment after failing to accomplish his dreams, and he had focused this resentment on the Great Tang.

With his support, An Yaluoshan became a tiger with wings. Only then did he truly have the ability to pull off his betrayal.

Unlike other Confucians, Gao Shang had studied a variety of different fields, including the field of divination. This was also why he was considered a heretic by the other Confucians and excluded from their ranks, forcing him to wander from place to place.
Hulayeg

He is the most renowned Turkic horse merchant! There was no better horse merchant in the Western Regions.

He provided Wang Chong with a massive number of horses.

Everyone knew that the best warhorses in the world were not the highland steeds of Ü-Tsang or the warhorses of the Great Tang. In truth, the terrain of the Central Plains simply wasn’t suitable for raising warhorses.

All the excellent warhorses of the Great Tang came from the Turkic steppe.

The Turkic warhorse was one of the best warhorses in the world.

The only warhorse that was superior was the Arabian warhorse, but the Abbasid Caliphate was ten thousand li from the Central Plains. In addition, raising Arabian warhorses was extremely problematic, and they were not accustomed to the climate of the Central Plains. Turkic warhorses were both easier to obtain and easier to train and breed, making them perfect for a cavalry force.

In addition, the best of the Turkic warhorses could still measure up to Arabian warhorses.

The difference between ordinary and high-quality warhorses wasn’t large. They could all fight and gallop, but the difference became clear when traveling vast distances or charging on the battlefield.

Ordinary warhorses could only charge straight, but high-quality warhorses could bond with their riders, the two becoming a single unit. In addition, high-quality warhorses had better skeletons and muscles.

Since Wang Chong was recruiting the Wushang, he naturally needed to give them the best horses. After all, in his plans, the opponents the Wushang Cavalry were to face were the Arabian cavalry. Only the high-quality steeds of the Turkic steppe could match the huge and sturdy Arabian warhorses.
Halo of Eol Kasum

A moment later, Yeon Gaesomun’s dantian blazed with energy, and a violet-black halo swiftly spread out over the battlefield.

The Halo of Eol Kasum!

This was one of the strongest halos in the legends of the Goguryeon Kingdom. Yeon Gaesomun had found this supreme technique when a crisis had forced him into the water and he had discovered an underwater cave.

In the history of Goguryeo, this powerful war halo had been lost for fifteen hundred years, and it was this halo that Yeon Gaesomun had relied on to become the strongest War God of Goguryeo.

In the Goguryeon language, ‘Eol Kasum’ had another meaning: ‘Supreme’!

The myriad things below and only one above!

This was the essence of Eol Kasum.

(Chapter 2193)
Ji Andu

Zhang Wenfu's traitorous disciple. His greed for the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art led him to betray his master and attempt to kill him. Although he failed to kill Zhang Wenfu, he crippled his cultivation.

## Appearance

His narrow eyes were cold and harsh. His brows were sharp and stern, giving off the sense of someone who would make trouble at any moment. He had a nose with a high bridge and a handsome face. In every individual aspect, this was a handsome and elegant man, but the overall feeling he gave was one of indescribable delicateness, or some bizarre snake or worm crawling along the ground.
Luo Supreme

There is a war god worshiped by the Turks of the steppe who is also one of the Supremes. His name is Luo Supreme, and he secludes himself within Mount Yaluo.

Luo Supreme’s lay name was ‘Yaluo’. In order to remember his mortal life before he followed Heaven, he raised a part of the crust and called it ‘Mount Yaluo’. An Yaluoshan was probably an accidental product from one of his affairs.

During that time of internal discord, many people left Heaven and left the Celestial God Organization. Luo Supreme was one of them, but his reasoning was different from all the others. Luo Supreme is extremely selfish, and he has always had a powerful desire for authority. However, he lacked the strength and could never surpass Heaven. After that internal strife, Luo Supreme departed and seemingly disappeared.

Luo Supreme has always been very fearful of Heaven, so he has been extremely inconspicuous over the years. He calls himself the Turkic War God, but he has barely ever displayed any divine skills, leaving behind only a few female priests. But what is key is that Luo Supreme holds one of Heaven’s important secrets. Other than Essence Supreme, only Luo Supreme knows where Heaven is sealed.

(Chapter 1922-1923)
Dama Trimo

This was the number two individual of the Ü-Tsang Empire’s Yarlung Royal Lineage, a terrifying peak Brigadier General. But this was not why people feared him. Dama Trimo had also once studied martial arts at the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, but his murderous nature was too great, and the martial arts he cultivated were also extremely murderous. In addition, Dama Trimo was a capricious man who had once committed murder in the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple. For this crime, the masters of the Holy Temple ran chains through his bones and hung him from the cliffs at the back of the Great Snow Mountain for seven years.

Only after his murderous intent had greatly decreased did they finally release him. He was later placed under the Yarlung Royal Lineage’s Great General Namri Songtian. Even with Namri Songtian’s formidable Great General cultivation, he just barely managed to suppress Dama Trimo’s killing intent and demonic energy. Even so, it was rumored that Dama Trimo would occasionally fall into madness and kill his own men.

For this reason, Namri Songtian would only send him out for extremely important wars.
Bahram

## [source]

A great general of the Sassanid Dynasty and commander of the Aswaran Cataphracts.

No one could have expected that the alliance created by Wang Chong and Bahram had created the strongest alliance to the west of the Cong Mountains, and it had also created the most powerful, loyal, and reliable ally the Great Tang could have between Khorasan and Samarkand.

## Appearance

A golden-armored figure riding upon a monstrous horse, his aura like an imposing mountain, the leader of the Khorasani. His expression was solemn and his eyes were shining as brightly as the sun in the sky. His horse was also extremely terrifying, its tangled muscles bursting with power, its size three times that of an ordinary horse, making it stand out on the road.
Ksitigarbha Vajra Guardian

the Ksitigarbha Vajra Guardian is a secret technique widespread in the empire of U-Tsang, this technique is known by Batunlu, this secret technique, allows you to harden the body and skin of a warrior, until the skin is hard as metal, making invincible the warrior who uses this technique ...

Upon using this supreme art, one's entire body would become as hard as steel and one's strength would swell. If Li Siye had not been carrying that Wootz Steel sword that Wang Chong had specially forged for him, itself incredibly sharp and additionally covered by all sorts of inscriptions, he would have been killed. That he had been able to not die was impressive enough.

(Ch.504)
Kunwu Training Camp

During Wang Chong's previous life, the Kunwu Training Camp became the birthplace of countless rising generals. The number of great generals who walked out of Kunwu Training Camp was more than enough to light up the skies of Great Tang for a very long time. That was the era in which Great Tang was at its greatest, as well as the era which Great Tang showed the final glimpse of its greatness.

Kunwu Training Camp is a training camp for high-ranking cultivators and martial artists, it takes a very high level of Origin Energy cultivation to enter this field, at least an Origin Tier 4

Kunwu Training Camp was created for the children of regular military officers of the Great Tang Army

from the Kunwu Training Camp come the best generals of the Great Tang

The three major training camps were currently still in their preparatory stages. Many people thought that the three great training camps were created specifically for offspring and all scions could enter. Father Wang Yan also thought so. (Ch.33)

However, Wang Chong knew that the recruitment requirements for the Three Great Training Camps would shock many.

One had to have at least a Origin Energy Realm Tier 4 to enter the Three Great Training Grounds. This caused enormous indignation and protests from many nobles and officials, but the one sitting at the top of the royal court was adamant on this matter. Nobody could make him change his mind.

This was the rule that was implemented and from that point on it would become more strict!

The first group of recruits in the training camps only needed a level Origin Energy Realm Tier 4 cultivation kingdom, but would eventually be upgraded to tier 5 and tier 6! If Wang Chong was unable to enter the first enlisted group, it would have become increasingly difficult for him to enter. (Ch.33)
Flexible Arm Fist

Imparted by Ablonodan and Arloja

The ‘Flexible Arm Fist’ was one of the secret arts of Sindhu, and it was very different from the martial arts in the Central Plains. After mastering the skill, not only would one become ambidextrous, one would also gain the ability to elongate or shorten one’s arms swiftly. When utilized in a practical battle, this technique could easily catch one’s opponent off guard.

This was the Sindhi martial arts that they decided to impart to Wang Chong based on his cultivation realm. Initially, they thought that it would take a long while before he would be able to master it. However, the rise in Wang Chong’s cultivation surpassed their expectations.
Masil

Masil was one of the Abbasid Caliph’s close attendants as well as the commander of the Behemoth Army. What makes him special is that he is a Psychic Energy expert, thus allowing him to control his Behemoth Army.

This person was shrouded in mystery. Nobody knew his background, only that he had suddenly appeared in Baghdad before the Caliph, rapidly gaining his trust. Not long after that, the dreadful Behemoth Army began to take shape.

Masil’s background was a mystery, and the Caliph had decreed that all the governors and generals were forbidden from investigating him.

A veteran and renowned general, who had been nominated for a noble title by one of the governors, had once been suspicious of Masil. After sending men to investigate, he was quickly eradicated from the face of the earth. The guards of the Caliph had led the Imperial Guard against his estate, exterminating both him and his entire clan.

This matter had sent massive waves through the Arabian Empire.

Although the Caliph had announced that this general had harbored disloyal thoughts and had been thinking about rebellion, everyone knew the true reason for his death.

From that moment, the mere mention of Masil’s name made people pale in fear, and no general dared to approach him.

## Appearance

Masil was truly a grotesque figure. Half of his face was covered by a red scarf, but even the visible part was dry and cracked, like the bark of a withered tree. Those gray-brown eyes of his twinkled with a wicked light that made anyone who looked into them shiver in fear. The hunchbacked Masil’s lips moved beneath his scarf.
Grand Canal

is a Canal, located in the Central Plains...

This canal that had been excavated in the Sui Dynasty had been in operation for several hundred years, serving as a vital thoroughfare linking the north and south, with an uncountable number of products transported along it.

In the past, even at the coldest of times, the Grand Canal would continue to flow. In snowy winters, boats would still transport cargo atop it, working day and night. But when this cold wave passed, this river completely disappeared, turning into a giant block of ice.

(Chapter 2217)
Condor Snipers

the Condor Snipers are an elite military force made up entirely of professional archers, the Condor Snipers are the best military force of the Goguryeon Empire, these archers do not employ common arrows, but using piercing arrows, able to pierce the protective barriers made of Stellar Energy, at the same time, these special arrows are very powerful and able to pierce the helmets and armor of enemy soldiers ...

*Ordinary master archers did not have such strength and accuracy. These could only be the Condor Snipers of Goguryeo.*

*Goguryeon infantry couldn’t match the Great Tang, and its cavalry couldn’t match the Eastern Turks, let alone Arabia. But if there was one aspect in which Goguryeo surpassed all the other countries, it was in the Condor Snipers.*

*The most elite master archers were the Condor Snipers!*

*It was said that Condor Snipers could accurately shoot out the eyes of a gyrfalcon in the air, leaving the plumage untouched. They could accurately strike certain muscles of a gyrfalcon to make them lose balance and ‘fall’ from the sky, allowing the gyrfalcons to be captured.*

*In the Goguryeo, the saying went ‘three eagles with one arrow’, even ‘four eagles with one arrow’.*

*The best of the Condor Snipers didn’t just know how to find the right angles. They could lead the target, which led them to be able to take down several eagles with one arrow.*

*What seemed like fantastical archery truly existed in Goguryeo.*

*Moreover, Goguryeo had maintained a tradition of selecting astonishingly talented children and training them when they were only four or five years old.*

*These children had to loose arrows ten thousand times a day, and by the time they were adults, they had to do it one million times.*

*No ordinary master archers could reach this level.*

(Chapter 2171)

*Condor Snipers’ was merely what foreign countries called them. This title did not exist within Goguryeo. Rather, archers were divided into the categories of Sun, Moon, and Star. Ordinary archers didn’t have the right to be ranked. Meanwhile, those master archers who could hit a tree from one hundred li away were known as Star Archers.*

*Top-class master archers, the ones the other countries called Condor Snipers, were considered Moon Archers in Goguryeo.*

(Chapter 2171)
Battle of Nanzhao

## Past Life

Great Tang would suffer a tragic defeat in the southeast. It would become the greatest failure in its long history of invincibility.

180,000 elite Great Tang soldiers, along with countless lieutenants and commanders, would be reduced to lifeless corpses with severed heads. Their blood would converge and flow on into the horizon.

This failure would shake the entire Central Plains, and in turn, determine the fate of Great Tang several decades later.

The Southern Protectorate Manor that Zhangchou Jianqiong had guarded for two decades would completely fall due to this, and the Five Great Protectorates would be reduced to just four.

Losing its southern barrier, countless civilians of the empire would be embroiled in the flames of war, and the casualties would eventually add up to nearly a million!
Adiya

The princess of Sassanid Dynasty.

## Appearance

Unlike the other maidens, this woman exuded a thick aura of elegance and nobility, as dazzling as the bright moon in the sky. Her skin was as white as snow and as pure as moonlight. Anyone who even just glanced at her would feel their heart thump, their mind entranced.
God Vanquisher Group

It had been three years since the Celestial Palace incident and the disappearance of the Celestial God Organization. Even so, Wang Chong and his allies had not given up the pursuit. The God Vanquisher Group was an organization that Wang Chong and his allies had established to deal with the Celestial God Organization, selected from the elites of the entire world.

The Dragon Guard, the Shadow Dragons, the imperial servitors, Wang Chong’s own elites, and martial experts from various countries were all gathered into this organization. Wang Chong’s own Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Teams, and the intelligence network of the imperial household, had also been merged into the organization.

The God Vanquisher Group was not under the Six Bureaus, and its authority far exceeded any of them.

The leader of this force was none other than the former Crown Prince, Li Xuantu.

Li Xuantu had a special status. Not only was he a member of the imperial household, he was a close ally of Wang Chong. In the Celestial Palace incident, he had done everything in his power to buy time for Wang Chong to defeat Heaven, so he was the best choice to lead this force.
Path of the First Stage

the Path of the First Stage and a deadly and dangerous Path, located inside the Confucian School headquarters, beyond that dangerous path, is the Crown of Confucius, only very skilled and high-level martial warriors, are able to cross that path, a very ancient path, created at the time of Confucius and feared by the members of the Confucian school themselves ...

*This was a nightmarish place for the Confucian Sect. Just as Master Zhu had said, at least thirteen leaders of the Confucian Sect had tried to force their way through this path, only to return in defeat with their lifespans reduced.*

*He had heard about the thunderous reputation of the Path of the First Sage since he was a child. There were many books in the Confucian Sect that talked about this path, but few of them described the exact details. Even those Confucian Sect leaders who had walked the Path of the First Sage rarely mentioned what actually lay within. They only vaguely mentioned that the Path of the First Sage represented the Supreme Sage. It stood for the path of thorns he had walked in becoming a sage, all the doubts and suspicion he had endured, the attacks and imprisonments.*

(Chapter 1808)
Great Snow Mountain Holy Land

and an immense plateau, a territory made of mountains, where the U-Tsang Kingdom is located and where the Tibetan people live ...

*Ü-Tsang was protected by natural barriers. A lofty altitude and a thin atmosphere were the Ü-Tsang Empire’s best defenses. All the foreign warriors who entered this place would find their strength greatly limited. Only the Tibetans, the natural inhabitants of this world, remained unaffected.*

*As a result, Tibetans also called themselves the ‘people chosen by heaven’.*

*(Chapter 654)*
Ashina Bagushidu

This Eastern Turkic King possessed incredibly profound martial arts, and more than half of Andong Protector-General Zhang Shougui’s operations against the Eastern Turks had been ruined by this man. It was even said that Zhang Shougui had requested a ritual tool from the Sage Emperor to deal with him, joining together with the generals of his army to cultivate a joint attack formation.

But Ashina Bagushidu had never been very interested in the matters of the Eastern Turkic army and court. Unless the territory of the Eastern Turks came under attack, he spent the vast majority of the time on his own, his movements mysterious and secretive. Not even Ozmish, Khagan of the Eastern Turks, could order him around.

## Appearance

His robe snapping in the wind, a heavily-bearded middle-aged man with thick brows and narrow eyes smiled. One could tell at a glance that he was not a person of the Central Plains. He wore a black robe and gripped a long flute whose tassel fluttered in the wind, and he exuded an aloof and transcendent aura.

All kinds of Hu ventured deep into the Central Plains, but few of them exuded such a thick aura of nobility as this middle-aged man. There was no question that he was a man of some status.
Asmodai's Fury

One of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars, ranked thirty-second. Although this was not the highest rank, it was still amongst the upper half. Just from its rank alone, one could tell that Abu Muslim had obtained the strength of an extremely powerful demon god.

In a flash of light, the scaled demon god behind Abu Muslim suddenly transformed. Its body grew larger, and its one head became three: a bull, a man, and a ram. The three heads all had savage and evil expressions, and their six eyes were all cold and emotionless, golden with vertical slits for pupils.

Bang!

The intimidating Asmodai suddenly gave a punch of its own, gathering up the endless dark energy around it. As the black fist of energy shot forward, it transformed into a dragon of the underworld more than thirty zhang long. This dragon was covered in black scales, and its mouth glimmered with many fine and sharp teeth. Most terrifying of all was that its body was writhing with tens of thousands of arcs of lightning, each one brimming with destructive power.

As the black dragon shot forward, a thunderstorm appeared. This attack’s momentum was enough to outshine even many Great Generals.
Divine Mamba Formation

the Divine Mamba Formation is a Battle Formation, set up by the Khaganate Empire army, this is the strongest Battle formation of the Khaganate Empire... this Technique is used by Ozmish Khagan

through this technique, an army of soldiers can obtain the divine power of the Mamba, the divine Serpent revered as a deity by the peoples of the Khaganate Empire...

*Not only that, as they began their assault, innumerable streams of energy flowed out from the hundreds of thousands of surrounding Eastern Turkic soldiers, merging into a massive, golden snake with long horns, its vertical pupils exuding endless evil.*

*The Divine Mamba!*

*In the legends of the Eastern Turks, there existed a divine snake that had once destroyed the world and possessed immense power. This snake formed the essence of the Divine Mamba Formation, and this formation served as one of the strongest of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate.*

*When this formation was activated, it would merge together the strength of an army and focus it on a single person. But in all of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, only Ozmish Khagan could use it.*

*Kaclack!*

*Strengthened by the Divine Mamba Formation, Ozmish Khagan swelled with power, his joints and bones popping and cracking. His cultivation broke free of its restrictions and entered the Subtle realm, and then it rose from the basic tier of the Subtle realm all the way to the high tier.*

*And when the power of all the Eastern Turkic generals was added in, an immense energy that could not be underestimated was created.*

(Chapter 2195)
Dalun Ruozan

A famous and wise general of U-Tsang with an incredibly keen sense for seizing the opportunity at the right moment.

Moreover, although everyone knew that the Great Minister was extremely intelligent, that was only in terms of schemes and plans. In terms of actual application of the art of war, the Great Minister was not that formidable.

Dalun Ruozan was no expert of the Great General level. The Great Ministers of the empire spent most of their time on administrative manners, so most of them did not have a very high level of martial arts. But this did not mean that they were poor martial artists. He was astonishingly intelligent and also knew a little martial arts, but this was only in his superb and meticulous control over Stellar Energy. His true cultivation level wasn’t very high at all, at least not up to Huoshu Huicang and Dusong Mangpoje’s level.
Little Yinyang Sword

This sword wasn’t Wang Chong’s Wootz steel sword but a three chi long crimson sword. It had some inscriptions reminiscent of a snake’s scales on it.

The sword didn’t look as sharp as the Wootz steel but it carried a unique aura.

Looking at the sword in his hands, a peculiar gleam flashed across Wang Chong’s eyes. This was the sword that Wang Chong’s master, the ‘Demonic Emperor Old Man’, had tasked someone to send to him upon learning that Wang Chong had successfully completed the cultivation Little Yinyang Art.

The martial arts of the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s lineage walked down a very unconventional path. For normal martial arts, one would be able to achieve a higher degree of mastery through training diligently.

The 《Little Yinyang Art》 didn’t obey this conventional law. To reach higher realms, one had to absorb Origin Energy from others.

In other words, Wang Chong had to kill others.

The reason why the Demonic Emperor Old Man was considered to be a member of the ‘unorthodox ways’ and had so many enemies in the pugilistic world was mainly because of this.

Due to the mastery of Wang Chong’s 《Little Yinyang Art》 being too low, he could only absorb Origin Energy from enemies far weaker than him. At present, he could only take in Origin Energy from animals such as tigers and panthers.

This was also the reason why the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s lineage crafted the ‘Little Yinyang Sword’.

“As long as one’s enemy is on the verge of death or in an extremely weak condition, the Little Yinyang Art allowed one to absorb the other party’s Origin Energy.”
Dragon Stallion Army

This was the strongest force under Beiting Protector-General An Sishun’s command. This force had allowed An Sishun to reverse the tides of battle time and time again, preventing the soldiers of the Eastern and Western Turks from invading the south.

The Dragon Stallion Army was made up of soldiers that An Sishun had carefully selected from amongst his troops. Each of these soldiers had a prodigious strength—An Sishun’s minimum requirement for them was that each one could use a sword to cleave in two an elite horseman charging at full speed and emerge unharmed.

This strict requirement meant that An Sishun’s Dragon Stallion Army didn’t even have one hundred people when it was first established. In the process of bolstering its ranks, An Sishun altered his plans to develop a comprehensive training regimen. As a result, the ranks of the Dragon Stallion Army slowly expanded.

Moreover, the position of the Beiting Protectorate meant that An Sishun could deal with the Western and Turkic Khaganates at the same time, even Ü-Tsang at times. The high frequency of battles proved to be an enormous advantage in training his soldiers.

The Dragon Stallion Army was able to benefit from this unique position such that in certain aspects, the tempering of war had made it even more skilled and refined than the elite armies of other protectorates.
Duwu Sili

‘Irkin’ was a term of address in the Turkic language for an individual of extremely high status. Other than Ishbara Khagan, the Emperor of the Western Turks, there was only one person in the region that deserved such deep respect from these Turkic soldiers: Great General Duwu Sili.

Just like in the Great Tang, although the Turks were brave and excellent warriors, very few of them could obtain the title of Great General, and Duwu Sili was one of them.

This was one of the Great Generals of the Western Turkic Khaganate, an extremely experienced veteran who had even defeated Beiting Protector-General An Sishun once! Even the old seniors from the Great Tang had fully acknowledged and praised Duwu Sili’s strength. Purely in terms of strength, he was probably even stronger than Big Dipper Great General Geshu Han. He was publicly acknowledged as one of the strongest Great Generals on the continent, with only a scant few capable of sitting on equal level.

He commands of the three strongest cavalry forces of the Western Turkic Khaganate, the Celestial Wolf Cavalry! There aren’t many people in this force, but they are all extremely terrifying fighters. This was precisely the cavalry force that defeated Beiting Protector-General An Sishun back then.
Spacetime Prison

is a Technique that can be summoned through the Halo of SpaceTime, the Halo that allow you to control and manipulate space and time, skills known from Genesis Supreme ...

*This was a ‘prison’ that Genesis Supreme had constructed from tens of thousands of Halos of Spacetime, a power unique to Genesis Supreme. Through the terrifying crushing and slicing properties of the Halo of Spacetime, he could tear his foes into tiny bits. This was one of the terrifying aspects of Genesis Supreme’s technique.*

*Those caught in Genesis Supreme’s Spacetime Prison would end up not leaving behind even the smallest sliver of flesh.*

*The Power of Spacetime was extremely complex, and it was no easy task to so precisely control Halos of Spacetime in such a small area. A great burden was placed on the user. Yet Genesis Supreme did it as easily as breathing.*

*This was one of the main reasons Genesis Supreme was ranked near the top of the Supremes.*

Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra

*The Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra!*

One of the Ten Legendary Supreme Arts. It was so difficult to cultivate that it was said that even gods and ghosts found it unfathomable. As one of the top three arts of the righteous path, it excelled, was perhaps unparalleled, when it came to defense.

This art had extremely rigorous requirements when it came to one’s talent and comprehension ability. Although it was ranked amongst the ten great arts and was incredibly powerful, there was no shortcut in cultivating this art. One needed to progress step by step along a set path, one that required incredible amounts of time to finally reach the end. Anyone who could spend twenty years refining their temperament and unhurriedly cultivating this art could only be someone of tenacious will and iron resolve, and someone who was definitely not easy to deal with.

*The Eternal Spring Mantra is truly formidable. Its energy permeates through all the organs, supporting them like wooden fibers and healing any internal injury Song Yuanyi suffers as quickly as possible. Moreover, the amount of Stellar Energy he consumes is practically negligible! This alone makes Song Yuanyi unique, allowing him to fight for so long with that man. In terms of endurance, no art can surpass the Immortal Universe Eternal Spring Mantra!*

Luo Chong

A subordinate of King Song. The royal family and their kin had powerful experts under their command, and these powerful experts were usually hidden from sight.

## Abilities

* Can shoot 104 arrows in a second
* Maximum shooting distance = 17 li (~8.5km)
* Sharp range vision in the dark = 267 zhang (800 meters)
	+ Sharp range was a concept used in archery. By sharp, it meant that one would be able to see the lines on the wings of a fly, and the veins on top of a leaf. Only with this could one’s vision be considered to be “sharp”. It should be noted that this was much harsher than identifying an apple on a tree from a distance of several li away.

## Appearance

He was a muscular man with a height of two meters. He was wrapped in a thick armor, like a steel can. Hung behind him was a conspicuous, large golden bow that stretched 1.6 meters in length. The bowstring used for drawing an arrow was almost as thick as one’s thumb. His entire body was cloaked in steel, except for a pair of sharp eyes.
Wang Bei

Wang Chong (3rd Brother)

Wang Xiaoyao (Little Sister)

Second son of Wang Yan and Zhao Shuhua. Wang Bei was once regarded as the most likely candidate to inherit Duke Jiu’s legacy. Regardless of whether it was his wits or his martial arts, he was far above that of his peers.

## Bloodline

He has the Berserker Syndrome of the Wang Clan. The Berserker Syndrome makes one lose there rationality and attacks everyone including family.

There was a tightly guarded secret in the Wang Clan, and it was the ‘Berserker Syndrome’. No one knew when it started, but this ‘Berserker Syndrome’ would be inherited by a member of the Wang Clan every alternate generation. The moment the Berserker Syndrome in one worked up, one would be unable to suppress the killing intent raging in their blood. One’s sight would turn blood-red, and aggressive nature would flare, forcing one into a state of rampage.

Among Wang Chong’s siblings and kin, the one whom Wang Chong was the most distant from, as well as the coldest and prideful person of the Wang Clan was his second brother Wang Bei. Since young, he has been distant from Wang Chong and the others. He spoke few words, and he didn’t play around with others. Even if it was with Wang Chong and his big brother, he rarely spoke. However, Wang Chong knew that Second Brother Wang Bei couldn’t be blamed for this. This wasn’t his true personality.

All of the Wang Clan members who were afflicted with the ‘Berserker Syndrome’ had the option of locking themselves up in the death prison. This was the magnanimity that the Sage Emperor granted grandfather back then.

Grandfather had specially requested for this expensive cell to be built in return for his contributions in assisting the Sage Emperor to the throne.

In this generation, Second Brother Wang Bei was the one who ended up being afflicted by the ‘Berserker Syndrome’. As such, he had chosen to be incarcerated out of his own free will, and no one could deny him of his freedom.

In truth, Wang Chong knew clearly the reason why Second Brother Wang Bei chose to impose this incarceration upon himself. The ‘Berserker Syndrome’ was a terrible curse within the Wang Clan. Once it worked up, one wouldn’t even recognize their own kin.

Second brother was afraid of harming his own family—that’s why he chose to seal away his own heart and put on a cold front.

He wanted to create a huge fracture so that no one he cared for would get close to him.

The pain that the ‘Berserker Syndrome’ brought wasn’t fearsome, loneliness wasn’t fearsome either. What that had truly hurt second brother was the fear from his own family.
