Millions of blood Qi surged like a tide. This was the hidden strength that Xiao Chen had cultivated after spending a hundred years and investing a large amount of resources to gather the youths from all the domains under his rule.
There were 1.5 million of them.
Furthermore, the recruitment of children was still ongoing. Due to the expansion of the Ancient Yuan Tribe's territory, the number of children brought back had doubled in terms of aptitude and quantity.
Among these children, the strongest were already at the fifth level of the High Building Realm, while the weakest had just been sent into this space.
The only pity was that the fifth level of the High Building Realm seemed to be the limit for these warriors that Xiao Chen had cultivated with his killing techniques and a large number of elixir resources. In the past hundred years, no one had broken the shackles and advanced to the sixth level of the Heavenly Venerate.
Even though some people had reached the sixth level, seventh level, or even the eighth level of the High Building Realm, they were still unable to advance to the Venerate realm.
Obviously, this was because they had overexerted themselves and consumed their potential in advance. This was also the reason why Xiao Chen wanted to create the Army of God.
The integration of the God's Blood could increase their strength again. Although there were too many risks involved, Xiao Chen was willing to take the risk.
Because of this, the Ancient Yuan Tribe rarely used this kind of cultivation method in the outside world. However, it was unnecessary for these hidden warriors. The reason Xiao Chen had formed them was to make them the sharp sword in the hands of the Ancient Yuan Tribe.
"These are the hidden strength that This King has cultivated over the years. However, everything in this world has its limits. This King has accumulated their strength, but he has consumed their potential. Apart from the fact that their martial arts realm is no different from that of ordinary warriors, their lifespan is far from that of ordinary warriors."
Below Xiao Chen, a vast amount of Qi and blood surged. Groups of warriors were shouting and killing in this space.
Compared to Xiao Chen's casual words, Luo Qing and Feng Li were shocked. They had gained some understanding of Xiao Chen and the Ancient Yuan Tribe over the past few days. It was just a tribe that had been around for a hundred years, yet it had gathered so much strength.
"Is it possible to integrate the Divine Blood into these warriors?" Then, Xiao Chen's voice sounded again.
Luo Qing and Feng Li naturally understood that Xiao Chen wanted to quickly train the Army of Gods, not to create a God Cultivating Race. This reduced a lot of restrictions.
The purpose of Xiao Chen's Army of Gods was to consolidate his position as the Sacred Son of the Human Race. Whether it was his trip to the Land of Nanli or his attempt to suppress the hidden families, he wanted to quickly consolidate his strength.
He wanted to create a powerful force under his command!
Because he was too weak!
In his plan, he would use the Gu Yuan Tribe as the foundation, have a few King Divine Generals under him, and control a powerful Divine Army. This way, he would be able to sweep the land, conquer the heavens, and fight for the position of the Human Emperor.
However, at the moment, whether it was the King or the forces under his command, they were still lacking. Even if he wanted to oversee the tribe and strategize, he did not have too many people at his disposal.
Although the Gu Yuan Tribe had two other King Divine Generals, it was not practical to let them control an area. Moreover, when one reached the Supreme Realm, there would be a few groups that would surrender to others. He was not the Human Emperor yet, so he could not command an area.
Otherwise, why did the four King Divine Generals of the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Region not surrender? Why did they still form an alliance with the Gu Yuan Tribe instead of relying on it?
Of course, Xiao Chen would not touch the four King Divine Generals. The four King Divine Generals were in charge of the Southern Region. They were the cornerstone of the stability of the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Region.
Xiao Chen could only wait for his disciples to grow up and take his place.
As for Luo Qing and Feng Li, the reason why he took them under his command was that they were quite talented. It was not impossible for them to improve in the future. Since it was not easy to subdue a King, Xiao Chen could only take a step back and start planning from Half King.
Similarly, the forces behind these two people could be said to be negligible and easy to control.
As for taking in the Divine Blood Races in the Barren Land, this was to make them the peripheral forces in Xiao Chen's hands. Before the direct forces in his hands grew up, they would protect and escort him.
Suddenly, Luo Qing cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, these warriors are enough to integrate with the Divine Blood. However, the Divine Blood is very violent. Less than one in ten warriors can integrate with the Divine Blood. My Lord needs to be prepared!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He naturally knew the danger. However, the disadvantages of accumulating resources at the moment had already been revealed. They could not advance to the Venerable Realm.
The difference between a Combat Army made up of Venerables and a Combat Master made up of ordinary Heavenly Building Realm was too great.
In the future, the Gu Yuan Tribe would definitely face more and more dangers. Therefore, it was necessary to prepare in advance and create more powerful Combat Masters to deal with future dangers. It was imperative to build all the hidden forces into a Divine Army.
In the future, it was even necessary to create a Legendary Divine Army that was completely based on the Divine Blood Cultivation Method. If one practiced martial arts alone, it was almost impossible to create a Legendary Realm Divine Army.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen once again discovered another problem.
That was, since the God Race had absorbed the Xuan Family's Black Tortoise Divine Blood, the Divine Blood was damaged. If he hunted the God Race to obtain the Divine Blood and used it to cultivate the Divine Army, wouldn't this restriction return to the Human Race?
After expressing this doubt, Luo Qing and Feng Li were not worried at all.
"My Lord, which of the Hundred Races doesn't have billions of tribesmen? How many tribesmen do the Four Great Divine Blood Races have? Even if our bloodline is taken away, the ones who can refine our bloodline will be the higher-ups of these races. Therefore, for ordinary tribesmen, there is no need to worry."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen realized that he was indeed worrying too much. Immediately, he said, "In that case, I have already ordered a few commanders to hand over the Divine Blood Army to you. They will entrust the two of you with 50,000 Combat Masters each. You can choose."
"Yes!"
Luo Qing and Feng Li received the order. Since Xiao Chen dared to entrust the Combat Masters to them, it meant that he had already regarded them as his subordinates. Moreover, he also understood that the quota of 100,000 Combat Masters was to prepare for the next Divine Army.
If the first batch of 100,000 Combat Masters could succeed, there would be an endless stream of warriors joining them.
…
Eastern Royal Domain.
These days, the most widely spread news in the Eastern Wilderness was nothing more than the temporary foothold of the Human Race in the Eastern Wilderness that had invaded the God Race.
Since Emperor Dong's Palace had issued the edict, all the great tribes and hidden clans in the Eastern Wilderness wanted to get a share of the loot. After all, it was rare to get such a bargain.
Moreover, with the cultivators of Emperor Dong's Palace resisting the higher-ups of the God Race, it was time to reap the benefits. How could the powerful clans in the Eastern Wilderness let go of such an opportunity?
Opportunities like this had always been fought for by all the clans. If one did not have some connections, there would be no chance.
Emperor Dong's Palace.
The vast land exuded a sense of tranquility. However, in the mountains that were thousands of miles away from Emperor Dong's Palace, there was a huge Teleportation Matrix that was hundreds of miles wide.
The Blood Qi that overflowed from the matrix was incompatible with the environment of Emperor Dong's Palace. The Teleportation Matrix that was hundreds of miles wide was guarded by cultivators of the Human Clan floating in the air.
This was the temporary passageway that the Human Clan had opened to enter the Small World of the God Race. In the past few days, the Human Clan's Combat Masters had continuously entered the Divine Realm through this matrix.
Almost every day, there would be exciting news. Which large tribe of the Human Clan had slaughtered millions of people and killed hundreds of people.
Because the matrix was close to the periphery of Emperor Dong's Palace and the Eastern Royal City, there were too many warriors of the Human Clan gathered here.
Everyone looked at the matrix that was emitting Blood Qi. Not only did they not feel the slightest fear, but they also looked forward to it. There was no warrior who did not want to kill their way into the Divine Realm and make a career.
Apart from the few aristocratic families that had issued the edict from Emperor Dong's Palace, other warriors were not forbidden from entering the Small World of the God Race. However, if they wanted to enter, they would need to exchange for War Merit. This prevented many warriors from entering.
Suddenly, there was a roar. In the distant sky, a dark cloud pressed down and moved toward the Teleportation Matrix.
However, the void fleet stopped a hundred miles away from the matrix.
"This is the flag of the Green Wood Imperial Family in the Eastern Region of the Eastern Barren Land. They are an old Imperial Family in the Eastern Barren Land."
"The Green Wood Imperial Family has already sent a Combat Master into the Small World of the Shen Race a few days ago. Why are they sending more troops?"
Looking at the dark cloud pressing down on the sky, a warrior kept exclaiming.
Hearing this, a warrior's eyes flashed with pride. He said, "Haven't you heard? The Green Wood Imperial Family had a great opportunity this time. They found a King-Grade Ore mine in the Small World of the Shen Race. There is a Shen Race army stationed there. They must be fighting for this mine!"
"A King-Grade Ore mine!"
Seeing the shock in the eyes of the surrounding warriors, the warrior could not hide the pride in his eyes.
"That is a King-Grade Ore mine. For the Green Wood Imperial Family to mobilize such a large force, there must be a lot of it. Even if they fight according to the rules and hand over half of the spoils to the Eastern Royal Palace's treasury, the Green Wood Imperial Family will still have a great advantage."
Just as the cultivators below cried out in alarm, a youth wearing azure-colored wooden war robes flew out from the warship at the very front. When he felt the countless chaotic wills on the ground below, the youth's lips curled up in a proud smile.
It was because he represented the Green Wood Imperial Family!
Even so, the young warrior did not delay. A yellow edict appeared in his hand. This was the edict issued by Emperor Dong's Palace to the Green Wood Imperial Family.
In this attack on the Shen Race, other than the warriors of Emperor Dong's Palace, the Emperor Dong's Palace had gathered ten royal troops of the Eastern Barren Land. The Green Wood Imperial Family was only one of them.
However, the only thing that puzzled him was that on the day the edict was issued, the nine forces had already gathered the Battle Masters to attack the Divine Realm. Only the tenth force had not been seen.
Soon, the young warrior drove away the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was about to hand the edict to the protector who was guarding the formation. After all, if he led a fleet here without an edict, it would be tantamount to rebellion.
However, at this moment, a roar came from the distant sky.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Accompanied by the roar, a huge warship revealed its ferocious bow and tore the void apart.
"That is …!"
This commotion naturally alarmed all the Human Race martial artists below.
A starry warship!
