Chapter 703 Astonishing Everyone (1/2)
The entire Great Wu Empire was shocked when their army returned in defeat. Everyone was unable to believe what had happened, because it was a result that had exceeded their expectations.
The Great Wu Empire was a top-class empire even in the entire Cangmang Continent. When had King Wu ever lost on his many expeditions?
What’s more, their opponent this time was the weak Great Zhou Empire. Logic pointed to an easy, overwhelming victory. Who could have expected the Great Wu Empire to be defeated so quickly instead?
Moreover, even King Wu had been gravely injured!
As such, the entire Great Wu Empire began to stir restlessly.
Especially those who had been important ministers in the Great Zhou Empire back then. They currently held high positions in the Great Wu Empire, but now grew extremely worried. Many years ago, they had rebelled together with King Wu and seized the Great Zhou Empire’s lands. They had originally believed that there was nothing to fear from the Great Zhou Empire, so who could have anticipated the latter to suddenly appear as if it was about to make a comeback.
If the Great Zhou Empire defeated the Great Wu Empire and took back everything they had lost, these individuals who were once ministers of the Great Zhou Empire would surely be put to trial.
As such, news of the Great Zhou Empire’s counter attack made the entire Great Wu Empire descend into chaos.
If King Wu stepped forward at such a time, he would still be able to suppress the unrest. However, he was missing, not even a hint of his shadow to be found. As a dragon without its head, the morale of the Great Wu Empire began to crumble.
Hence, the Great Zhou army easily steamrolled over the Great Wu Empire’s defenses.
Smoke and the fires of battle burned from the lands of Great Zhou to the territory of the Great Wu Empire.
...
The Great Wu Empire’s defeat swiftly spread to the entire Cangmang Continent, shocking the many empires and factions.
They were even more astonished and confused after finding out what had happened on the battlefield. King Wu had actually been defeated by the young prince of the Great Zhou Empire...
King Wu was definitely a top-tier expert in the Cangmang Continent. In fact, he was most likely the strongest after the revelations of his intermediate Divine Dwelling stage cultivation.
Who could have expected that an intermediate Divine Dwelling stage expert would be beaten by Zhou Yuan, who had recently stepped into the Divine Dwelling stage.
For a time, numerous first-class empires began to review their opinion of the once fallen Great Zhou Empire. They understood that once this war was over, the once famous Great Zhou Empire would perhaps rise up once more...
...
Shengzhou Continent, the Cangxuan Sect.
Clang! Clang!
News of Zhou Yuan victory over King Wu spread to the entire sect at this moment, causing
“Senior brother Zhou Yuan is way too amazing!”
“I can’t believe he actually defeated the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage King Wu!”
“He’s basically invincible!”
“Such battle accomplishments are simply terrifying. Let’s see which Sacred Palace disciple will dare to show off in front our Cangxuan Sect in the future.”
“......”
All the Cangxuan Sect disciples felt very proud. After all, such battle achievements were indeed very rare.
On a certain peak.
Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, Kong Sheng, Ye Ge and the others watched the excited disciples before looking at each other, seeing the amazement in everyone’s eyes.
Li Qingchan softly said, “I did not expect that he would be the first to reach the Divine Dwelling stage.”
Ye Ge rubbed his chin as he said, “Beating King Wu at the initial Divine Dwelling stage; I feel Zhou Yuan has established an eight heavens Divine Dwelling at the very least…”
The others did not speak, but their expressions had turned solemn. An eight heavens Divine Dwelling was very very uncommon.
Chu Qing sighed with a worried expression and said, “How troublesome...his cultivation is advancing like crazy, putting us under a tremendous amount of pressure.
