Peerless Taoist

Countless tall buildings and palaces were surrounded by dense Immortal light. The desolate Qi of the Primordial Era that had been cut off since the ancient times could be seen everywhere here. It was extremely dense and could be taken by anyone to cultivate.    

However, on the other side of this land was a dark and gloomy place. The Spiritual Qi was cut off, and the place was barren. Densely packed low-rise buildings were gathered together, looking like ruins.    

Countless laborers and slaves lived here. They only had a pitiful amount of time to rest every day. Most of the time, they were working in the mines.    

The Spiritual Energy contained in these spirit mines was rich, and it could devour any mana that was casted. Only by using brute force could they be mined.    

In the past, the Primordial Penglai had taken away a large number of minerals from the Heavenly Court. After that, these things all fell into the hands of the Penglai people. After mining for ten thousand years, there were still many left.    

In order to mine these spirit mines, Penglai had brought a large number of people from the Heavenly Court to serve as slaves. Under such harsh conditions, many people died from exhaustion. And the people who died were thrown into the sea to feed the fish. They were extremely cold and inhumane.    

"Hurry up and work. We have to dig out this mine today, or else you won't be able to rest!"    

"Old thing, quickly stand up. Did I make you sit?"    

The Penglai cultivators in charge of guarding the slaves all had fierce expressions on their faces. They lashed out with their whips, causing the slaves to be ripped to shreds, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.    

A piercing scream sounded out, and the surrounding slaves all revealed expressions of sympathy.    

However, they did not dare to stop. If they were to stop for even a moment, the Penglai cultivators in charge of guarding would discover them, and they would not be able to avoid another round of vicious beating.    

“You all treat us like this, are you not afraid of suffering the wrath of the heavens?!” The old man was being whipped until he was on the brink of death. He was already severely injured, and even breathing was rather difficult.    

“We are the heavens, and you mere mortals are even worthy of calling yourselves the wrath of the heavens?”    

The Penglai cultivators sneered, raising the whips in their hands, about to lash out.    

The surrounding people could no longer bear to watch. The old man’s fate was already set. Those who dared to confront the guards would only end up dying miserably.    

The old man seemed to have already accepted his fate. He did not struggle anymore, closing his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.    

Rumble!    

However, right at this moment, an intense sound of thunder suddenly sounded out from the heavens above, exploding.    

An intense light instantly shone in front of everyone. The old man opened his eyes and instantly saw a terrifying bolt of lightning descend from the skies. A dazzling lightning snake ruthlessly hacked down, directly shattering the Penglai disciple into powder.    

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!    

The skies were covered in dark clouds, and terrifying bolts of lightning continuously descended from the skies.    

However, it was as if these heavenly thunder had eyes. They were aimed at the Penglai disciples, and the lightning bolts fell one after another. Those Penglai disciples who were still showing off their strength were immediately killed.    

The heavenly punishment had descended!    

The Penglai cultivators rushed out of the houses in shock.    

"What happened?" They were exclaiming. They were clearly in the Heavenly Court, so how could they be attacked by the heavenly thunder?    

However, no one answered their question.    

The heavenly thunder seemed to have eyes, and they all poured down on the mining field. Wherever they passed, all the Penglai cultivators were turned into powder, and even their bodies were no longer there.    

The slaves who were working in the surroundings all stopped what they were doing and looked at everything in front of them in shock.    

"Could it be that someone is attacking Penglai?" A thought suddenly appeared in the minds of some people.    

However, he quickly rejected this idea. The strength of Penglai had exceeded their imagination. Very few people dared to challenge Penglai.    

However, right after that, everyone heard a tearing sound coming from the horizon.    

The sky shattered, and the flags swayed. A great army of ten million rushed in from the other side of the Heaven Gate, spreading out like a tide. Their killing intent shook the heavens, and their momentum was like a rainbow.    

The dense army rushed out of the Heaven Gate. The Penglai cultivators in charge of guarding were caught off guard. Hundreds of people were killed on the spot. Some of them turned around to report the news, but they were immediately pierced through the head by sharp arrows.    

The dark red Profound Bird Flag of the Great Qin and the black dragon flag of the royal family of the Lu Family fluttered in the wind and made a loud sound as they appeared in front of everyone's eyes.    

"It's the Great Qin Cavalry. The Qin army has actually come!"    

"How did they come here? This is Penglai Island!"    

"The aura of the Qin army is so strong. I'm afraid that even the Imperial Guards of the Great Tang can't compare to them."    

Amongst the slaves who had been arranged to work in the mine, there were no lack of people from the Great Tang. They knew the ins and outs of the situation, especially the generals of the Great Tang. Their eyes were filled with deep shock.    

Ever since the Tang army was defeated by the Hidden Dragon Army, the Great Tang had never fought with the newly born Qin army.    

However, what everyone did not expect was that in just a few years, the Qin army's strength had already reached such a level.    

Penglai's resistance was simply laughable in front of the huge Qin army. Countless so-called Supreme Celestials were slaughtered, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Penglai cultivators. The blood dyed the stone bricks red.    

"Who are you? How dare you devour immortals!"    

"You are treasonous! We are the Supreme Celestials of the Heavenly Court. You... Ah!"    

Until now, the immortals of Penglai still maintained their aloof attitude and did not put the army that had rushed in in their eyes at all, berating them.    

The Qin army did not waste time with them. The long blades in their hands slashed down, directly killing these Supreme Celestials!    

The heads fell to the ground, and they were turned into meat paste by the iron hooves. The Qin army, who had long desired battle achievements, had fallen into a state of absolute madness. Everyone's eyes shone, and they pushed forward with their battle formations.    

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"    

The ancient roar resounded in all directions. From the sky, beams of magical energy kept falling down, fusing into the bodies of the Qin soldiers, strengthening their bodies.    

The strength of a single soldier might not be able to contend with Penglai's experts, but when they were gathered together, they formed a huge force that could even shake the heavens.    

After occupying an entire area, Penglai's people finally reacted. They rang the alarm.    

The trembling bell echoed in the sky, and all the Penglai cultivators were shocked. Some of them had just woken up from their seclusion, and they looked at the army in front of them in disbelief.    

"Where did this army come from?"    

"Run! Go and inform the Supreme Celestials!"    

Most of the Penglai cultivators were just ordinary people, and they did not have too strong strength.    

They were caught off guard, and many of their defensive measures were not used in time. Their heads were pierced by arrows, or they were killed by long swords and spears.    

Countless towers and halls were directly overturned, and dust and smoke rose into the air. The scene of an army descending with killing intent appeared in front of everyone.
