#2674 - When I become emperor, they will all return.

Several days later, the battles at the borderlands came to an end.

All the dark creatures entrenched in the ancient borderlands were wiped out without a single one remaining!

Dark blood flooded every street in the city, filling the entire city with a pungent, dark-tinged stench of blood.

The Xuanjia Army and the Fortress Legion's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and clear the corpses.

Jun Wuxie shuttled through the sky above the city, his Devouring Power fully activated, devouring all the residual energy within the bodies of these dead dark creatures, purifying it with the Millstone of the World, and then converting it into Primordial Qi with the characteristics of the Bright Universe, returning it to all the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army and the Fortress Legion.

He purified the residual dark energy in the city and then constructed a triple Time Rune Array, covering the Borderlands City.

Afterward, he summoned all the high-level personnel.

"Lord Jun, what are your orders?"

"Look at that area."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the vast area behind the city.

It was a scene of devastation and ruin.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and their hearts immediately grew heavy.

"That is the burial ground of the heroes who died in battle in the borderlands throughout the ages, but now it has been destroyed by dark creatures in such a way!

The dark creatures are truly damned!"

Everyone was very angry.

The ravaged area no longer had any mounds or tombstones to be seen, riddled with holes and pits, the ground seeming to have been turned over several times.

But there were no remains to be seen!

Since ancient times, countless people have died in battle in the borderlands.

Too many heroes and outstanding figures from various eras are buried there!

However, they hardly have complete remains, and many even couldn't find a piece of flesh after sacrificing themselves on the battlefield!

So many graves are actually cenotaphs.

Other graves with fragmented remains also had the remains gradually dissolving and completely disappearing due to the dark energy remaining in their bodies over the years, which is why there are no bones to be seen.

Warfare against darkness is cruel and bloody.

For countless epochs, the various races guarding the ancient Divine Realm have been experiencing and enduring this cruelty and bloodshed.

This is an unspeakable history of sorrow and blood for the beings of the ancient Divine Realm!

"Send people to repair that place properly, build tombstones for the heroes of each era, and enclose that martyrs' cemetery.

Plant more trees inside, with green hills and clear waters, to give the sacrificed heroes a comfortable resting place."

"Yes, we will do it immediately!"

The powerhouses of various forces immediately left to take care of it.

The senior generals of the Xuanjia Army sat there, heads slightly lowered, without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Lord Jun, we are fine."

The Xuanjia Army generals hurriedly raised their heads, but their eyes were slightly red.

Seeing their expressions, Jun Wuxie also fell silent.

He already knew what they were thinking.

"Lord Jun…"

"I know," Jun Wuxie's voice was somewhat low, "You are thinking about the brothers from back then, aren't you?"

These words caused the Xuanjia generals present to burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably, "They never saw the glory of our Lower Realm; in their short lives, there was only suffering.

Back then, they were all just young teenagers, with thin bodies, unable to wear armor, and they sacrificed themselves in the Capital City Defense War.

At that time, their realms were too low, and even their souls could not be reunited after death…"

These Xuanjia generals all came from the Lower Realm and were all survivors of the Great Zhou Defense War back then.

Thinking of that battle back then, thinking of those young and tender faces…

"Lord Jun, can we ever see them again in our lifetime?"

The Xuanjia generals, with red eyes, were full of hope.

"Yes! When I become Emperor, they will all return!

I said when I was in the Lower Realm that heroes should not be buried, and I will eventually bring them back to the mortal world!"

The Xuanjia Army generals rose to their feet in unison and knelt down in perfect synchronization, bowing deeply!

"Get up, you need to change the habit of kneeling at every turn."

"Lord Jun! The luckiest thing in our lives is to meet you and become your soldiers!

Following you in the conquest of the heavens and fighting against the darkness is our supreme glory!"

"Alright, stop being so sentimental, get up quickly."

The Xuanjia generals got up one after another. Then they heard him say, "You all come over here."

The Xuanjia Army generals quickly stepped forward.

"Meditate."

"Ah? Oh!"

They were stunned, but immediately carried out the order after realizing it.

Just as they were curious, a brilliant Chaos-level Gold Essence Qi enveloped them.

They immediately felt a mysterious force entering their bodies, flowing along their meridians to every part of their bodies.

"Calm your minds, I will cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bloodlines. The process will be somewhat painful, so bear with it."

Immediately afterward, they felt a stinging pain, as if every part of their bodies was being torn apart.

This pain continued to intensify.

At first, they could barely endure it, but gradually the pain became so intense that they were covered in cold sweat, their faces contorted, and their bodies trembled.

At the peak of the pain, they even let out screams.

Despite being in excruciating pain, using sound to vent the unbearable pain, they still maintained their seated posture.

This process lasted a long time before the pain gradually subsided.

And they were already almost exhausted.

The next day, Jun Wuxie finally completed the strengthening of their bloodlines.

Looking at the Xuanjia generals slumped on the ground, he couldn't help but smile and said, "How is it? How do you feel?"

The Xuanjia generals didn't even have the strength to speak and were just panting.

However, they felt very comfortable inside their bodies.

Although exhausted, they could clearly feel the changes in themselves, whether it was their bones, internal organs, meridians, or flesh, all of which had been greatly strengthened.

"Have a good rest."

Jun Wuxie got up and left.

Now that the borderlands have been subdued, and the dark vanguard army of the ancient Divine Realm has been completely resolved, he should continue to cultivate next.

He still had more than a dozen Rank 3 Heavenly God Mixed Origin Immortal Herbs that he had not refined.

Watching his departing figure, the Xuanjia generals panting on the ground couldn't help but smile wryly.

It seemed that Lord Jun's words could not be completely believed.

Wasn't it said that there would only be a slight pain?

Where was there only a slight pain? It was simply excruciating!

They had experienced hundreds of battles and many brutal battles, resisting the apocalypse and darkness several times, and had already tempered an incomparably tenacious will.

But this time, they were almost in so much pain that their wills collapsed.

If Lord Jun hadn't been right in front of them, filling their hearts with the power of faith, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

… In the following days, the ancient Divine Realm returned to peace, at least no major events occurred.

There were quite a few minor events.

In certain ancient life lands, some people suspected that they had discovered traces of the remnants of the Demon Hunt Divine Palace and the Heaven Purification Divine Sect.

Then, the news spread secretly, and countless people went there, only to find that it was indeed the remnants of those two forces.

They had originally hidden on the desolate stars near the ancient Divine Realm.

Later, seeing the drastic changes in the environment of the ancient Divine Realm, they couldn't resist the temptation and secretly sneaked in, hiding their identities and concealing themselves in a certain ancient life land.

They originally planned to live in seclusion and slowly cultivate based on the current environment, developing stealthily.

Waiting for the flood of the apocalypse to completely erupt in the future, they would look for opportunities to cooperate with the darkness from within, break through the ancient life land they were in, and open a path for the darkness.

But they never expected to be exposed!

None of the remnants of the two major forces escaped and were surrounded by various forces.

Having lost their high-level powerhouses, they were simply no match.

With the destruction of the Demon Hunt Divine Palace and the Heaven Purification Divine Sect, the beings of the ancient Divine Realm also felt much more at ease.

Ever since Lord Jun spoke about this matter that day, everyone had been thinking about it.

After all, these two forces were forces that colluded with darkness.

With them in the ancient Divine Realm, although it might not affect the overall situation, if they were to do something during the flood of the apocalypse, it would definitely bring losses!

… Winter passed and spring came, the seasons changed, and the years passed.

The beings of the ancient Divine Realm cultivated under a time flow of 150 times, coupled with the environment and other factors, and the strength of all beings improved very quickly.

This speed was something they had never dared to imagine before.

Within a certain building in the Borderlands City, Chaos Golden Radiance filled the air, maintaining a vast momentum.

Jun Wuxie finally stepped into the Extreme Realm domain.

Reincarnation Eternal God Extreme Realm!

He was one step closer to the Legendary Realm.

There were only ten and a half Mixed Origin Immortal Herbs left, and after refining them all, he could only reach the Small Perfection of the Extreme Realm, unable to reach the Great Perfection Realm.

He included all the remaining Mixed Origin Immortal Herbs into his Cave Heaven, refined them together, and continued to cultivate.

One month of ancient Divine Realm time passed, which was more than ten years under the 150 times time acceleration of the ancient Divine Realm.

On this day, the Chaos Golden Radiance on Jun Wuxie's body receded, and the vast momentum within his body also subsided.

He withdrew from cultivation, opened his eyes, and slightly stretched his body, moving his muscles and bones.

"I've reached the Small Perfection of the Extreme Realm, and the high-quality special resources have also been used up.

Using other resources to cultivate, it will be difficult to guarantee that the goal can be achieved in the limited time."

Jun Wuxie said to himself.

Is it possible to obtain high-quality special resources at present?

The Secret Realm is definitely not an option.

The best-quality resources in the Secret Realm are only of the twentieth order, which has no effect on them. Forcing their use would only be a waste of resources, which is a shameful waste!

After all, a large number of twentieth-order Breakthrough Divine Pills are enough to cultivate many powerhouses in the Reincarnation Eternal God Realm, and can even allow people to cultivate to the Half-Step Legendary Realm!

"From the current point of view, I can only start from outside the Secret Realm.

What kind of force can produce such resources?"

Jun Wuxie thought to himself, and couldn't help but think of the Ancient Emperor Family who would completely open the Realm Road and descend into the ancient Divine Realm.

I wonder when they will be able to penetrate the last section of the Realm Road and descend into this world.
