The soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Legion could clearly sense the pressure weighing on their commander.
So, when their leader issued the order to attack, the Heavenly Dragon Legion charged toward the Divine Dragon Palace without hesitation.
And standing right before the palace—Ye Wushuang—was their primary target.
As countless soldiers rushed toward him, their eyes burned with ferocity. Many radiated murderous intent, as if they were determined to cut him down where he stood.
This display sent the Divine Dragon Imperial City’s Immortal Kings into a panic.
They hurried forward, shouting:
“Your Majesty, step back! This old servant will repel the enemy!”
“Damn the Heavenly Dragon Legion! How dare they charge at our Divine Dragon Empress? Die!”
“You dare act so brazenly before the Divine Dragon Palace? Today, you will pay in blood!”
They believed Ye Wushuang was in danger and rushed to protect him.
But Ye Wushuang remained completely composed.
Facing an army of thousands, surrounded by Immortal Kings, he showed not a trace of fear.
By now, he had fully mastered the Divine Dragon Empress’s Immortal King-level power. In fact, the combat prowess he could unleash surpassed even hers.
With absolute strength on his side, even an ocean of enemies meant nothing to him.
“No need. Just stand by and watch.”
With a wave of his hand, a supreme sword from the royal treasury flew into his grasp.
Ye Wushuang raised the blade, pointing it directly at the Heavenly Dragon Legion.
The enemy soldiers didn’t react—they had no idea what he was about to do.
But the people of the Divine Dragon Palace and Imperial City tensed up immediately.
The way the Divine Dragon Empress held her sword reminded them of the time Ye Wushuang faced the apocalyptic heavenly tribulation—when he summoned ten thousand swords, united them into one, and struck down a foe far stronger than himself.
That overwhelming sword intent and combat power had left an indelible mark on everyone’s minds. Countless swordsmen yearned to learn his “Myriad Swords Return to One” technique—the strike that could split the heavens.
And according to legends within the Divine Dragon Palace, Ye Wushuang’s “Myriad Swords Return to One” was actually derived from the Divine Dragon Empress’s own creation: “All Laws Return to One.”
This led many to believe that the Empress herself could wield the technique—perhaps even more powerfully than Ye Wushuang.
Now, seeing the Empress raise her sword, countless swordsmen felt their hearts surge with excitement.
Then, her clear yet commanding voice echoed in everyone’s ears:
“All swords under the heavens—heed my call! Swords, come! “
Clang!
Summoning ten thousand swords now was far easier than during the heavenly tribulation.
Not only had his “Myriad Swords Return to One” grown stronger, but his own power had also increased. And with the supreme sword in hand, the effect was even more overwhelming.
With just one command, not only did the treasured swords from the royal vault and the Divine Dragon Palace fly out—even the swords held by the Heavenly Dragon Legion were ripped from their owners’ hands.
Many soldiers had been charging forward, blades in hand, when suddenly, their weapons tore free with irresistible force.
Even Celestial Immortals couldn’t hold onto their swords. They could only watch helplessly as their weapons shot toward Ye Wushuang.
The mass disarming threw the Heavenly Dragon Legion into chaos. Fortunately, not all of them used swords, so the disorder was quickly suppressed.
“Stay calm! Kill the Divine Dragon Emperor, and your swords will return!”
“Once we break into the Divine Dragon Palace’s treasury, you can take any sword you want!”
These words reassured many, and even empty-handed, they continued their assault, their momentum still fierce.
But Ye Wushuang paid them no mind.
After his command, countless swords obeyed him, each infused with a strand of his sword intent. He had lost count of how many variations of sword intent he had comprehended and merged.
The blades gathered behind him, forming an army of flying swords—a dense, orderly formation that rivaled the Heavenly Dragon Legion in sheer presence.
Then, Ye Wushuang unleashed them.
“Myriad…”
“Swords…”
“Return…”
“To One!”
The words “Myriad Swords Return to One” seemed to carry an arcane power. The moment they left his lips, the countless swords behind him moved.
Like a storm of arrows, they descended in a torrent of sword shadows, engulfing the entire Heavenly Dragon Legion. The sheer density of the attack seemed intent on erasing them from existence.
And these weren’t mere arrows—they were divine swords, each imbued with Ye Wushuang’s sword intent.
Individually, they were weapons. But under his control, they became swordsmen—an entire legion of them.
As the swords rained down like meteors, the Heavenly Dragon Legion hastily raised defensive formations.
But their barriers shattered instantly.
Blades pierced through the ranks, and soldiers fell in droves.
Then—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire Heavenly Dragon Legion’s position erupted in explosions. Screams filled the sky as countless sword energies rampaged, turning the battlefield into a hellscape.
In mere breaths, the area became a slaughterhouse. Severed limbs flew, blood mist dyed the heavens red, and many died without even a chance to scream.
An army of 300,000—crushed like ants beneath a single step.
Aside from the Immortal Kings and a scant few lucky survivors, the entire Heavenly Dragon Legion was wiped out.
The once-dense sea of soldiers was now a barren wasteland.
Out of 300,000, fewer than a thousand remained.
The suddenness of it left everyone stunned.
Those who survived were driven to madness.
“Wh—where is everyone? Where’s our army? Where’s the Heavenly Dragon Legion?!”
“H-how?! How could our legion be annihilated in a single strike?!”
“A demon… She’s no empress—she’s a devil walking among mortals!”
“Run! RUN!”
A single sword strike had annihilated 300,000 soldiers, erasing the Heavenly Dragon Legion from existence.
The sheer destructive force defied all expectations.
Even the other Immortal Kings stood frozen, staring at Ye Wushuang in disbelief.
Was this really her doing?
How could an Immortal King possess such devastating power?
Unless… she was actually a Heavenly Sovereign in disguise?
