Chapter 531: Chapter 531: The Anu Rebellion
Sharp tendrils instantly shot out from the White Jade Holy Tree, piercing into the body of the large, purple-gold tree.
Waves of purple-gold light surged from the Purple Gold Holy Tree and poured into the White Jade Holy Tree, causing it to grow rapidly.
The Purple Gold Holy Tree, which had been wreathed in purple-gold light and exuded a mysterious and profound aura, rapidly began to wither.
Once the Purple Gold Holy Tree had completely withered, it turned to dust and vanished.
The White Jade Holy Tree, in turn, grew to a height of four meters.
"White Jade Holy Tree."
"Power: 2100 (+700), Agility: 20 (+10), Defense: 2200 (+700), Constitution: 2200 (+700), Intelligence: 150 (+50), Spirit: 1100 (+500), Spiritual Power: 5 billion (+2 billion)."
"Charm: 5, Holy Soul: 31 (+1)."
"Yield: Currently able to produce White Jade Sacred Fruit and Purple Gold Sacred Fruit."
A look of satisfaction flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Not bad. After devouring a Purple Gold Holy Tree, this White Jade Holy Tree has grown much stronger. Its combat power is likely comparable to an ordinary Spirit Saint. However, its weakness is also obvious—its movement speed is too slow, making it easy for enemies to kite it.’
The White Jade Holy Tree did, in fact, possess combat capabilities. With its Power stat as high as 2100, a single full-power strike could instantly kill a Spirit Venerable Level powerhouse.
However, the White Jade Holy Tree’s Agility was only 20, and its maximum movement speed was astonishingly slow compared to Spirit Saints. A Spirit Venerable Realm Level powerhouse could slowly wear it down with relentless attacks from a Famous Gun.
The corners of Shu Feng’s mouth lifted into a slight smile. ’Another type of Sacred Fruit. I can improve my physical constitution again.’
The Holy Soul acted as a bottleneck for a powerhouse’s Divinity and physical constitution. In turn, their physical constitution was the bottleneck for the Extraordinary Powers within their body, like Profound Qi and Spiritual Power.
The stronger a powerhouse’s physical constitution, the greater their potential and the higher their ultimate limit.
This was precisely why Shu Feng placed so much importance on enhancing his physical constitution.
For the next several days, Shu Feng remained on Bitaoshan Mountain, consuming one Purple Gold Sacred Fruit daily to cultivate and improve his strength.
「Minluo Mountain」
The mountain range lay on the border between the Qianyuan Republic and Anu Country, and the area was dotted with numerous outposts belonging to the Republic.
Qian Gang was a border guard for the Qianyuan Republic, currently patrolling the border with his comrades.
"To think Grand Marshal Shangguan Tianhe was killed by the Qidemon Cult. It’s despicable!"
"Everyone in that evil Qidemon Cult deserves to die! Why haven’t the higher-ups just wiped out all those cultists?"
"..."
Qian Gang and the other Warriors chatted idly as they patrolled.
Shangguan Tianhe had risen through the ranks of the Qianyuan Republic’s military, eventually becoming a powerhouse at the Spirit Saint Level. He had led the Republic’s Warriors in battle against Void Demons, achieving countless victories and earning immense prestige within the armed forces.
Shangguan Tianhe’s assassination by the Qidemon Cult had caused the Qianyuan Republic’s border Warriors to hate the cult to their very bones.
"Take cover!"
Qian Gang was a Spiritualist, and his Spiritual Ability was a premonition of danger. A sudden warning flared in his mind, and with a loud cry, he immediately rolled and dove toward a piece of cover.
The other Warriors all rolled to take cover as well.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
As the gunshots rang out, a dense hail of bullets blanketed Qian Gang’s patrol squad. Several Warriors were instantly riddled with holes.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The damned bastards from Anu Country ambushed us!"
A look of Despair flashed in Qian Gang’s eyes as he pulled out a signal flare and fired it into the sky.
Before Qian Gang’s eyes, Warriors from Anu Country—short, dark-skinned, and clad in gray military uniforms—swarmed toward his position like ants, rifles in hand.
Qian Gang and the few remaining Qianyuan Republic Warriors were quickly overwhelmed and killed by the swarming Anu Country Warriors.
The torrent of Anu Country Warriors, like a rushing tide, swiftly advanced on Minluo Mountain. One after another, the Qianyuan Republic’s outposts fell to their assault.
After conquering Minluo Mountain, the forces of Anu Country immediately advanced toward Taining Province.
Anu Country had once been a vassal state of the Qianyuan Republic, always following its lead on the international stage. For it to now turn and attack its former master enraged every sector of the Republic.
The Qianyuan Republic’s 69th Army Group, stationed in Taining Province, was immediately dispatched to intercept the invaders.
Just as Anu Country launched its invasion, countless Void Demon Powerhouses on the Void Demon Battlefield began a furious assault on the Qianyuan Republic’s territories. Even experts at the Void Demon Duke Level personally joined the attack.
On the Void Demon Battlefield, the various Level 1 Spirit Cities activated their powerful Barriers and sent urgent requests for reinforcements to the Qianyuan Republic’s mainland.
Ji Yuanshi, Fang Yichen, and Wu Zhongchao were all dispatched to the Void Demon Battlefield to hold the line.
The Qianyuan Republic’s elite Spiritualist legion, the [Steel Fang], could combine their power to kill a Spirit Saint Level powerhouse, but they still required a Top Level Spirit Saint to lead them.
After all, the [Steel Fang] legion needed to gather the power of all its Warriors to be effective, and operated under numerous restrictions.
If Top Level Spirit Saints like Wu Zhongchao coordinated with the [Steel Fang], they could even slay a Demigod Level powerhouse.
The Qianyuan Republic did not take the war with Anu Country seriously. After all, Anu Country was a small nation with a population smaller than that of Taining Province alone.
The moment the 69th Army Group engaged the Anu Warriors, its commanding general, Tong Ming, along with a dozen other high-ranking officers, deserted the battlefield.
Leaderless, the 69th Army Group’s morale collapsed. It was swiftly routed by Anu Country’s elite troops, suffering innumerable casualties and defections.
Once the 69th Army Group collapsed, the Anu army captured vast amounts of materiel. They then proceeded to massacre all 100,000 of the elite Warriors who had surrendered, and pushed deep into Taining Province.
Immigrants from Anu Country living in Taining Province rose up in rebellion, guiding the Anu army to breach one city after another and shatter all resistance. In an instant, more than half of Taining Province fell. It was ruthlessly trampled by the Anu army, leaving countless dead and wounded in their wake.
The entire Qianyuan Republic was shaken to its core.
「Bitaoshan Mountain」
’I’ve hit my limit again! But my strength has taken another huge leap!’
Shu Feng slowly opened his eyes. With a mere thought, lines of data appeared before him.
"Power: 9100 (+500), Agility: 8900 (+500), Defense: 8800 (+500), Constitution: 8900 (+500), Intelligence: 8200, Spirit: 10200 (+500), Magic Power: 16 billion (+4 billion), Profound Qi: 20 billion, Badge Power: 1,320,000."
"Charm: 5500 (+100), Spiritual Power: 16 billion (+4 billion), Holy Soul: 250 units."
Shu Feng’s Spiritual Cultivation had reached 16 billion. Combined with the explosive increase in his physical constitution, his strength on Blue Star now far surpassed what it had been at his Peak in the Black Tortoise Realm.
"Master! This is a letter from Congress! The major Noble Families have initiated impeachment proceedings against Prime Minister Zhang Xiaochu. Please review it!"
Luna, dressed in a maid’s uniform, walked over and handed a letter to Shu Feng.
