“You, you…!”
Ye Wushuang’s ability to kill truly frightened the Supreme Realm experts from the four major powers.
Each one of them had their mouths wide open, as if witnessing some kind of miracle.
At the same time, there was uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
It wasn’t that they had never faced powerful enemies before, but they had never encountered someone as strong as Ye Wushuang.
With just one strike, he had slaughtered nearly a hundred million cultivators.
If these Supreme Realm experts hadn’t seen such terrifying killing power with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
And after seeing it, they were completely speechless.
Compared to their fear, Ye Wushuang’s expression was very composed.
“How is it? Do you understand what ‘unmatched sword dao’ means?”
“W-We understand!!”
“Then do you know how the Old Ancestor Demon Blade died?”
“Y-Yes, we know!!”
“No, I don’t think you do.”
“So, I want you to experience it too – what unmatched sword dao really means!”
As Ye Wushuang finished speaking, the sword intent around him began to condense once more.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of swords appeared beside Ye Wushuang.
But this time, these swords weren’t aimed at the armies of the four major powers. Instead, they were pointed directly at the Supreme Realm experts themselves.
This filled those Supreme Realm experts with extreme terror.
“No, please don’t kill me, I beg you, don’t kill me!!”
“I’m willing to submit, I’m willing to submit to the Divine Dragon Empire! Please, don’t kill me!!”
“Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong! Spare me, just spare me this once!!”
After witnessing Ye Wushuang’s ‘Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin’, these people couldn’t help but beg for mercy.
Why? Because they could sense that, with their strength, they were absolutely no match for his technique.
Once Ye Wushuang used the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin on them, they would undoubtedly die.
So, they tried to beg for a way out, hoping to survive.
However, they were dreaming a bit too sweetly.
Since Ye Wushuang decided to act against them, some of them simply had to die.
The very next moment, Ye Wushuang spoke.
“Ten! Thousand! Swords! Returning! To! Origin!!”
This time, the ‘Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin’ was even more ferocious than before, flying straight towards the Supreme Realm experts.
Its terrifying momentum was so great that some of the Supreme Realm experts wet themselves on the spot from sheer fright.
Even though these people were incredibly powerful and controlled vast forces, when faced with absolute power and the choice between life and death, they were no different from the weakest commoners.
If soiling their pants could save their lives, every single one of them would have done it.
But unfortunately, pissing their pants didn’t seem to help. Ye Wushuang’s swords still flew straight at them.
However, just as the swords were about to reach them, ninety-nine percent of the sword intent suddenly changed direction and charged towards the armies of the four major powers.
Only one percent of the sword intent continued rushing towards these Supreme Realm experts.
But even that one percent caused tremendous damage to them.
In just an instant, a cacophony of screams erupted.
“Ah!!”
“No!!”
“Don’t kill me!!”
None of these Supreme Realm experts wanted to die, and whether they lived or died depended entirely on Ye Wushuang’s mood.
Ye Wushuang didn’t kill all of them, which would have made the Divine Dragon Empire too many enemies overnight.
Instead, he used that one percent of his sword intent to kill half of the Supreme Realm experts present.
As for the armies of the four major powers, they were slaughtered in droves.
After two moves, the entire world was filled with blood.
The number of dead was simply uncountable.
The remaining Supreme Realm experts were terrified to the extreme, trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing that they were still alive gave them a feeling of having survived a catastrophe.
But with Ye Wushuang still standing right in front of them, they couldn’t feel happy at all.
“Wh-What do you want… for you to be willing to let us go?”
“Actually, the Divine Dragon Empire never had any intention of attacking your territories. But since you took the initiative to strike at us, you can’t blame the Divine Dragon Empire for being ruthless.”
“However, the Divine Dragon Empire is a force that advocates for peace. So, we are indeed willing to let you live.”
“Really?!”
Hearing Ye Wushuang say this, the survivors from the four major powers were overjoyed.
They hadn’t expected to have a chance to live under these circumstances.
It was such a pleasant surprise for them.
So surprising, in fact, that they didn’t know how to describe their feelings at that moment.
But there was one thing they did understand.
Surviving at Ye Wushuang’s hands would certainly come with conditions.
Because of that, they spoke up nervously.
“May we ask… what price do we need to pay?”
“The price isn’t small. Your four major powers must collectively hand over ten great worlds. That way, the Divine Dragon Empire can gather a total of one hundred great worlds.”
“Deal! Absolutely! We accept this condition!”
“Yes! Yes! We accept! Even if it were ten great worlds per power, we would still accept!”
At this point, they were willing to do anything to stay alive.
However, Ye Wushuang didn’t actually want that many great worlds.
The Divine Dragon Empire wasn’t strong enough yet; amassing too much power would attract unwanted attention.
“Besides the ten great worlds, I have other conditions.”
“I need everyone from your four major powers to hand over all the resources you possess.”
“All of our resources?”
“Yes. All of it.”
“Of course, if you’re unwilling, you don’t have to hand them over.”
Ye Wushuang’s tone was light and casual when he said ‘don’t have to hand them over,’ but it filled the people from the four major powers with immense dread.
They could sense a terrifying, intense killing intent beneath his casual words.
They even had a premonition that if they refused, they would surely die beneath Ye Wushuang’s sword.
So, without any hesitation, they immediately agreed to his demands.
“We’ll hand them over! We are willing to hand them over, we will give you all our resources!!”
“We would even willingly become vassals of the Divine Dragon Empire, forever offering tribute and serving the Divine Dragon Empire!!”
“No need for that. The Divine Dragon Empire doesn’t require vassal states.”
The people from the four major powers wanted to become vassals of the Divine Dragon Empire. Why? Naturally, they hoped to gain the empire’s protection.
But Ye Wushuang saw right through their intentions in an instant.
He simply couldn’t be bothered to protect them.
So, he directly rejected their request.
This refusal left the people from the four major powers deeply disheartened.
They felt that their four powers were likely doomed to face calamity.
Even so, regarding the demands Ye Wushuang had laid out, they were eager to carry them out as quickly as possible.
Ye Wushuang’s actions today had shocked countless people.
