No one expected that the Defender of the Realm, Huangfu Xin of the Great Zhou Court, was actually a master of War God level, an achievement beyond imagination.
In the past, no one paid attention to this matter, nor did anyone deliberately observe it; the Defender of the Realm had hidden himself too well. He was usually busy managing both internal court affairs and significant military matters, effectively juggling both responsibilities.
It was precisely due to his busy exterior and his position as the second-in-command of the Great Zhou Court that no one focused on him. As a result, he quietly entered the Martial God Secret Realm without anyone noticing. It wasn't until he faced off against five Elysium of Longevity masters from the Five Dragon Shadow Guards alone, remaining calm and composed, that he struck decisively to defeat the leader of the Five Dragon Shadow Guards. Only then did news of his entry into the Martial God Secret Realm come to light, and soon after, it spread widely.
The Defender of the Realm was the first person in nearly a century to become a War God master, and he was certainly the most famous one to have been revealed.
Although there might be War God masters in some inconspicuous places or among various sects, none were as shocking as the Defender of the Realm. Thus, he was the only one in a hundred years who purely cultivated martial arts and entered the Martial God Secret Realm.
Among numerous cultivators, no one chose to follow a purely martial path because martial arts were relatively monotonous, slow in progress, and carried great risks compared to cultivating the Soul. Few would make such a choice since if they died, they would lose everything.
As for why the Defender of the Realm chose pure martial arts, it might relate to his high position. If he dared to cultivate the Soul and faced death only to be reborn, he could arouse suspicion from the emperor and face severe consequences. Therefore, it seemed that the Defender of the Realm had no choice but to opt for pure martial arts; only this way could he demonstrate loyalty and gain the emperor's trust.
However, if the Defender of the Realm himself went off to cultivate the Soul and died only to return through Corpse Transformation in a deep mountain, he could achieve immortality and remain in his position indefinitely. In such a case, no one would feel secure about him.
Indeed, after the Defender of the Realm struck down the leader of the Five Dragon Shadow Guards with bloodshed in the Golden Throne Hall, it was unclear who leaked this information.
Before long, everyone within the Great Zhou Imperial Palace knew about it. Those unfamiliar with cultivation might not fully understand how powerful a War God truly was, but seeing it manifest in the Defender of the Realm was enough to instill immense awe.
This incident stirred up quite a commotion throughout the city; almost everyone discussed how the Defender of the Realm was a master of War God level during their meals and leisure time.
As news spread further afield, nearly everyone became aware of it, causing significant ripples across various sectors.
Whether among common folk or major powers and sect giants, widespread attention was drawn to this matter. After all, having a War God master held immense weight—something unimaginable. If they could win him over, the benefits would be self-evident.
But who is the Defender of the Realm, the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty, whose words carry weight? Can such a person be easily swayed?
This matter has caused quite a stir, including the formation of the Three Kingdoms Alliance involving Korea, the Great Qi Dynasty, and the Daiwa Dynasty.
In addition to the Five Dragon Shadow Guards, the Great Zhou Dynasty also boasts the Defender of the Realm, who is actually a super expert from the Martial God Secret Realm.
With this in mind, the overall strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty must be reassessed; the War God is indeed worth their efforts.
Two Zhang Cliff is located a hundred miles outside the capital, near a large river. The Daiwa Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed here.
In a secluded mountain stream five miles away from the Daiwa Dynasty's camp, Lu Chen sits beside a waterfall cascading down from above. The waterfall creates a significant commotion as it flows into the stream.
Behind Lu Chen stand Lian Dashuang and Yue Shaoting. With no military duties recently and their troops stationed nearby consuming supplies, they have plenty of free time. However, since the Daiwa Dynasty is not short on funds, they can afford to wait. Thus, Lu Chen has come to this quiet place to cultivate.
Lian Dashuang and Yue Shaoting are pleased to have some leisure time here to keep watch over Lu Chen, which can also be considered as providing protection.
Lu Chen sits cross-legged on a large rock, hands forming seals, eyes slightly closed, completely still and serene.
At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly opens his eyes, stands up from the stone, and gazes intently in the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Seeing this scene, Lian Dashuang and Yue Shaoting become tense, fearing that someone might be coming to assassinate or disrupt them or spy on military affairs. They immediately become alert. After all, there are some movements they cannot detect, but Lu Chen can.
"Master, what’s going on? What happened?" Lian Dashuang and Yue Shaoting exchange glances; they haven't noticed anything unusual but see that Lu Chen's expression is grave as if something significant has occurred.
After a long time, Lu Chen finally let out a long sigh and said, "War God, a War God has actually been born. Just now, while I was Spirit Traveling, I suddenly saw a beam of light shooting straight up into the sky from the direction of the capital. It was visible even from outside."
Earlier, Lu Chen was Spirit Traveling, exploring the tranquil Cosmic Starry Sky, trying to find something new and interesting.
However, before he could discover anything else, he noticed a War God light beam shooting out from the capital, soaring into the sky, visible even from afar. It seemed that this War God light was not newly advanced but had been suppressed for a long time and suddenly erupted. This could mean that a great battle had occurred or that it was intentionally released to intimidate those nearby, even enemies.
Using the War God light and one's own powerful strength to intimidate enemies makes sense. If one presents themselves as incredibly formidable, enemies will naturally feel fear upon seeing it, thus weakening their momentum.
"War God? How is that possible? Who has reached the cultivation of Martial God Secret Realm?" Lian Dashuang asked in astonishment, both he and Yue Shaoting were stunned. As practitioners of martial arts, they understood the significance of a War God and the immense effort and cost required to achieve such a status. It was no joke, especially coming from Lu Chen; he had no choice but to believe it.
"The light came from the capital. If I’m not mistaken, it must be Defender of the Realm Huangfu Xin. He has actually become a War God; this truly surprises me. I never expected it."
At this point, Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, sighing. He never imagined that Defender of the Realm would be a War God. The last time he saw him, he was still at the peak of Divine Power Golden Body Realm. In just about ten years, he had crossed a major realm to become a War God. Moreover, judging by the color and intensity of the light, it was clear that he had entered Martial God Secret Realm for quite some time.
Lu Chen felt shocked because he guessed that the War God light was triggered by Defender of the Realm. What made it hard for him to accept was that Defender of the Realm was actually a War God; this truly caught him off guard.
"Master, what should we do now?" Lian Dashuang asked a crucial question about where the army should go next.
"I don't know yet," Lu Chen shook his head and said. "The fact that Defender of the Realm is a War God has changed the trajectory of events. Since that's the case, we need to deliberate on this matter carefully."
At Fox Ridge Mountain, within Korea's military camp in the General's Tent, a Daoist with four eyebrows was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Soon, the tent flap was pulled open from outside, and a Daoist with six eyebrows hurriedly walked in and said, "Senior brother."
"Junior Brother, what's wrong? You are already at the Void Immortal level, yet you still act so rashly. You really can't change that habit," said the Four-Browed Daoist lazily, opening his eyes briefly before closing them again.
The Six-Browed Daoist felt a bit dissatisfied and replied, "Senior Brother, this time it's a big deal. You might not know yet, but the Defender of the Realm, Huangfu Xin, is actually a War God. This is the news our spies in the capital have reported back; it’s absolutely true."
Only then did the Four-Browed Daoist open his eyes and look at the Six-Browed Daoist. "A War God? How is that possible? If I remember correctly, there hasn't been a War God for over a hundred years. Are you sure about this news?"
These two Daoists were sent by the higher-ups of Star Gate to assist Korea in their endeavors. They were responsible for laying out Dojos, breaking evil spells, driving away Demon Gods, and commanding troops; they were quite formidable. One was the Four-Browed Daoist, and the other was the Six-Browed Daoist, who were brothers.
"There’s definitely no mistake. This matter has already spread; it won’t be long before everyone below knows about it."
The Six-Browed Daoist spoke decisively, his tone very certain and his expression serious, showing no signs of joking.
The Four-Browed Daoist seemed to still be in shock. After a while, he finally came to his senses and sighed deeply. "A War God, it’s truly unbelievable. Let’s send a message back to the Sect and have Shen Taiyi decide what to do next."
"A War God, a War God..."
The Four-Browed Daoist murmured to himself before adding, "Since the Great Zhou Dynasty has the Defender of the Realm as its backbone, and the Defender of the Realm is from the Martial God Secret Realm, it seems we need to reassess the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As for attacking the capital, we may need to delay that for a while. We should first see what Great Qi Dynasty and Daiwa Dynasty think before making any decisions."
