Free Web NovelChapter 1862: Chapter 881: God!
In the seventh year of the Great Yan Holy Martial, on the sixteenth of October, the sky was clear without rain.
From the early morning, the entire Divine Capital City seemed to have been stirred by an invisible giant hand. The citizens of the Divine Capital City neatly formed a long line, pouring out of the city.
No, it was not just the citizens of the Capital, but also those from nearby states and the martial artists and citizens throughout the Central Plains.
All for one reason: to witness the ceremony.
Chen Yuan’s prestige had already reached its peak. Under his decree, it quickly spread throughout the world, not only causing a stir but also amassing countless followers.
The Human Emperor!
What is a Human Emperor? The emperor of the Human Race, far beyond what the ruler of a dynasty can compare to. Although an emperor is also called a sovereign, this sovereign refers to the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
However, the Human Emperor is different, as they are the ruler of the entire world!
The identities between the two differ, as do the Qi Fortunes they bear.
Many people wanted to witness with their own eyes this great event worthy of being recorded in the annals of history, and no one wanted to miss it. Of course, some also wanted to witness the majesty of the Holy Martial Emperor.
Chen Yuan ordered the construction of an altar, located in the east of the Divine Capital City, near Purple Gold Mountain. It had been under construction since the founding of Great Yan and had taken seven years to complete.
It was built with the collective strength of the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
It was immensely grand, as it symbolized the Human Emperor. Su Ziyue naturally did not dare show the slightest neglect and carried out everything according to Chen Yuan’s instructions.
In fact, she even did better!
The altar, made from materials gathered from all corners of the world, was jade-like in its entirety, towering like a mountain, reaching a height of a thousand zhang, shaped like a pyramid, ascending section by section.
On each level of steps were formations and divine marks engraved by array masters. At one glance, it appeared mysterious and unfathomable, invoking a sense of submission.
However, previously this place was sealed off, and no one was allowed to approach. Hence, even if some knew there were significant activities happening here, they were not aware of the details.
They could only rely on speculation.
Now, with the Imperial Decree descending, everyone knew that this place was prepared for the Heaven-worshiping ceremony, far more grandiose than Purple Gold Mountain.
Majestic Black Dragon Banners planted all around, fluttering in the wind, howling fiercely, as if a True Dragon were roaring, carrying an indescribable feeling.
One hundred thousand Black Armor Forbidden Army soldiers were stationed at various nodes, equipped with weapons, their faces obscured by masks, resembling machines that knew only killing.
They were the most elite troops of the entire Great Yan Dynasty at present, named Black Dragon Army by Chen Yuan, commanded by a Yang God True Monarch, who was none other than—
The former Xiang Family Clan Leader, Xiang Guangsheng!
After the Xiang Family submitted, Chen Yuan did not leave them idle, especially after his enthronement, shifting from previous grievances.
Furthermore, lacking suitable candidates and with Xiang Guangsheng’s frequent demonstrations of loyalty, he was granted the title of Duke Xiang, managing the Great Yan Black Dragon Army!
The main force of the Black Dragon Army consisted of the former Xiang Family Guards, each a Dan Realm Master, albeit cultivated through various Secret Techniques.
Nevertheless, they were Grandmasters.
Additionally, elite troops were drawn from the four major military groups in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast, mixed with various powerful figures to form the first army of the Great Yan Dynasty. On the surface, all the Black Dragon Army soldiers had a low presence.
Simply protecting the Imperial City, yet their strength was extraordinary, each was a martial artist, at minimum a Gang Condensation Level martial artist, with countless Reach Profound and Core Realm martial artists among them.
Even many Fifth Realm, Yang Transformation Level experts were present.
Because here they enjoyed the best resources of the entire Great Yan Military, cultivation techniques, and rapid advancement, naturally becoming the dream destination for all military aristocrats.
Guarding the Holy Martial Emperor, what an honor?
Now, even more so, totaling one hundred thousand Black Dragon Army, fully deployed, solely to guard the altar, and to proclaim the mighty strength of the Great Yan Dynasty to the world.
Deterring all directions.
Its power, below the Six Realms, whoever comes, dies.
Once the military formation was formed, even against a Sixth Realm Immortal, it was not without the power to fight, of course, under the leadership of a Demi Immortal, given that the power of rules is too inexplicable.
It forms a great chasm and gap with the power of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy.
Outside the Black Dragon Army soldiers were many citizens and Jianghu martial artists. Although they came to witness the ceremony, they couldn’t get close and could only observe from afar.
Yet even so, it still attracted countless people to come.
At a glance, it was a dense mass like a black flood, and even so, countless people from all directions converged into the flood.
From a high altitude, it was a torrent and countless small tributaries.
The noise was constant, as were the discussions.
Many people raised their heads, looking at the altar in the center, their eyes filled with excitement and reverence, and deeper within, it seemed more like a longing for something.
Within the delineated inner field, countless civil and military officials, Jianghu veterans, local vassal kings, and the harem concubines had already gathered.
Their presence was essential, having the privilege to closely witness the Holy Martial Emperor ascending to become the Human Emperor.
"The Human Emperor..." said Wu Daozi, clad in a green robe with gray-white beard and hair, gazing at the altar ahead, his eyes somewhat dazed. Though he had retired to Shuzhou,
