The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Emperor Yuan in mid-June.

Located in Xue County in the west of Qi State, the only remaining stronghold that is still resisting, Qufu City, was finally broken under the onslaught of 500,000 troops led by the coalition general Cao Cao.

After the city was broken, due to the heavy losses of the army, a full 250,000 people were lost, and the number reached half of the total number of the army, in order to appease the morale of the army.

Cao Cao ordered that no swords be sealed in Qufu City for 7 days.

Therefore, within 7 days, the city turned into a purgatory, and countless innocent souls were born.

However, before these wronged souls had time to dissipate, they were swallowed by a flash of red light, and the original corpses of the wronged souls also quietly lost a small amount of blood.

These red lights are the real reason why Cao Cao ordered the massacre of the city.

In the previous battle between the coalition forces and the state of Qin, both sides suffered losses and sacrificed millions of troops. The sacrifices were huge, and the dead were terrifying.

But because of this, Zhong Yu refined 365 magic weapons.

And each of these magic soldiers has introduced the blood and soul of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. It can be said that it has been greatly nourished, has undergone a complete transformation, and has produced its own spirituality.

Although this spirituality is extremely tyrannical and bloodthirsty, it has an indomitable and sharp spirit.

This is to absorb those soldiers who died tragically, possessing a unique battlefield array murderous aura, which can destroy all tangible and intangible things.

Also because of this spirituality, the worst of these 365 magical weapons is also a low-grade spiritual weapon, which is far beyond the category of magical weapons.

And the bait that Zhong Yu originally released, that is, the bloody long sword that Liu Bang bought for him, has reached the level of the legendary low-grade magic weapon, and has been able to become one with the master's body and mind.

When it was used, the blood mist filled the air, and the sun was not visible for dozens of miles, only patches of red clouds remained. This red cloud can charm people's minds, eliminate people's stature, drive people into demons, and finally become the puppet of the sword master, driven by it.

Among them, there are bursts of ghost shadows roaring, protruding from time to time, helping the master of the sword to kill the enemy. This is the heroic soul who died on the battlefield, captured by the blood sword, locked in the sword and driven by torture.

The most important thing is that these battle spirits have become Tier 4 first-class masters after swallowing and fusion, and they have no body, only illusory souls, and it is difficult to attack with ordinary means.

In other words, these battle spirits are completely immune to attacks by first-class masters or below.

Only first-class masters who have comprehended their own unique will can kill these ghost bodies from the soul level with their comprehended will.

And because it is a spirit body, and Zhong Yu doesn't have any exercises for the spirit body, so these spirit bodies only have this fighting power, and they really face other masters of the same realm as him. In a desperate duel, I'm afraid I will fall into a disadvantage.

But even so, after the number of people increases, these small problems can be ignored.

The only thing that makes Zhong Yu feel pity is that there are too few of these battle spirits, even if he tried his best to support them, they can only barely reach the number of heaven and earth.

There are only 108 battle spirits.

But even so, the power of this magic weapon should not be underestimated. If he is released, even if no one drives him, it can determine the outcome of a battle with millions of people.

The 365 divine weapons that were forged last time were finally given to the civil and military ministers under his command as their personal weapons.

Moreover, Zhong Yu still told them the method of blood refinement very considerately, so that they could refine these spiritual weapons into their bodies, which greatly enhanced the communication between themselves and the spiritual energy, and also made their connection with each other closer and inseparable .

This has two advantages, one is to greatly enhance the strength of his ministers.

The second is that the fundamental core of these blood refining tools is still under his control. Now that these ministers have been refined, that is to say, their strongest strength and the fundamental gate of life have been controlled by Zhong Yu, and life and death are only a matter of thought.

Coupled with Zhong Yu's penetrating influence on the depths of their core consciousness, the possibility of their betrayal of Zhong Yu has been reduced to the point where it is almost impossible.

Therefore, with these two benefits, Zhong Yu will naturally actively promote it.

What's more, these ministers have long been greedy for this kind of refined weapon.

I have long seen the power of the powerful magic weapons ranked on the weapon list. It is absolutely a joke to say that these ministers and generals don't have the slightest thought about those weapons.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Zhao Yun, who had suffered from the weapon in Jueying's hand before, had long been impatient for these weapons.

Therefore, after these weapons were distributed, these ministers accepted them very gladly.

However, those weapons can only be equipped with high-ranking officials and generals of the empire after all. It is still difficult to popularize for low-level generals and some elite soldiers.

After all, Zhong Yu no longer had the rare materials used to refine these spiritual weapons.

But leaving it alone like this is somewhat unreasonable. After all, these low-level people are the real foundation of the empire.

Therefore, Zhong Yu prepared some relatively rare and huge quantities of refining objects, forged them separately, and distributed them to various battlefields.

This time, although the workload was greater than before, the movements were lighter and less noticeable.

The reason is that there is no need to arrange extremely detailed and extremely large magic circles as a medium.

Instead, it simply sketched some formations on the body of the blood refining weapon to absorb soul and even blood energy. These formations can absorb the soul and blood energy not far from the blade, about 30 meters away. Then devour them and grow stronger.

The production of such a weapon is extremely simple, as long as a refiner with a certain foundation of character drawing can make one in a day.

As for the entire empire, in order to forge the 365 divine weapons, there were thousands of craftsmen trained in this costly project.

These refiners, under the order of the empire, coupled with the full supply of materials, regardless of loss, but in just one month, all the supplies were exhausted, and the empire's reserves were exhausted.

But the results are also gratifying, a total of 100,000 blood-refined weapons are freshly released.

These weapons were quickly distributed to the 100,000 elite Zhong Yu had prepared for a long time. These people were masters trained by the empire in this world over the years and could cultivate internal strength.

However, the vast majority of them have only cultivated wisps of internal force, which belong to the third-rate realm, and are not much stronger than those ordinary people who have no internal force.

But at least, being able to cultivate their internal strength means that they have unlimited potential for improvement.
