Chapter 1110: Yan Jun's Spoils! Yellow Spring Order!

Chapter 1110: Yan Jun's Spoils! The Yellow River Mandate!

Then, directly from within His mind, He issued a command—ordering the spirits of the Yin Ghost Clan, influenced by the Universal Saint, to launch a counterattack upon their own kin, the soldiers and deities standing beside Him.

With a loyalty rating of 90, they accepted and executed Zhou Zhan’s orders without hesitation or delay.

And thus, the Yan Jun, already wracked by betrayal, now witnessed with horror that his own people—his very kin—had been treacherously stabbed from within.

The morale, already weakened by betrayal and treachery, now plunged to its absolute nadir as these beings could no longer believe in their allies or their fellow warriors.

The remaining Yin Ghosts stood motionless, numbly resisting the encirclement by the Rośa Clan, the Tian Qian Clan, the Jiao Yang Kingdom, and their own brothers in arms.

Their shattered morale, combined with a vast disparity in strength, had extinguished all hope of victory in this war.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Seething with rage, Yan Jun suddenly erupted into a vortex of black light, rushing through the battlefield like a storm, slaughtering everything in his path.

He had only summoned the power of an upper-tier deity, and thus escaped punishment under the Supreme Accord.

"Forgive me, my people!"

"It was my mistake—I trusted these two traitors."

"Had I not placed my faith in them, even if we could not have stood against the Celestial Emperor, we would not have suffered such a devastating defeat."

Yan Jun's heart was filled with profound regret.

Yet his expression in his eyes and the movements of his hands grew ever more ruthless and resolute.

He could no longer alter the current situation.

All he could do was to stand before his own clan's people, using his own strength as a shield, facing the enemy head-on.

Even if the outcome of the battle was death—

he would die before the soldiers.

He would never retreat.

He would never use his people as shields to absorb the enemy's fire.

As for surrender?

He had never even considered it.

As the chieftain of the Shadow Spirit Clan, he could not accept the idea of his own surrender—such a thing would bring upon him an unprecedented humiliation, a betrayal of the blood coursing through his veins, and a violation of the trust and mandate bestowed upon him by his ancestors.

The Shadow Spirit Clan might have members who surrender, but never its chieftain!

With time passing,

he saw the wounds upon his body multiply, his breath grow fainter and fainter.

"Chieftain!"

"Chieftain, no! Don't!"

"Chieftain, stop fighting—we surrender!"

"Damn it, I'll fight to the end!"

"We, the Ghost Clan, will die without entering the cycle of rebirth—yet we will still slaughter a few soldiers of the Sun's Kingdom to make a sacrifice!"

...

The Ghost Clan soldiers, stirred by the actions of the Yán King, felt within themselves a sudden, heroic resolve to fight to the very end.

Under this resolve,

their morale, which had sunk to the lowest depths, began to surge wildly at that very moment.

Not only did it swiftly recover to normal levels, but it soared beyond the peak of their former strength—reaching a height never before seen.

Even the soldiers of the Sun's Kingdom, now firmly dominating the battlefield, began to sense an unsettling pressure—something that seemed to threaten to overwhelm them. These ghostly warriors and divine beings, willing to die for their cause, fought with such desperate courage that it seemed to shake the very foundations of their superiority.

Yet the soldiers of the Sun's Kingdom, possessing far greater strength and numbers than the Ghost Clan, still held the upper hand.

Especially when the Yán King, pulled into the sword-world created by Chì Xuán Tiān, was no longer leading them—these Ghost Clan troops, without their commander, became as aimless as flies without a head. Their sudden chaos was easily exploited by seasoned officers like Bái Yún, who handled them with practiced ease, restoring the Sun's Kingdom's absolute dominance over the battlefield.

Zhou Zhou watched all of this with cold, unflinching eyes.

If he hadn't known and lived through the previous incident in which the Yán Ghost Clan had thwarted the Human Clan's retreat into the Primordial Realm, he might have praised this Yán Clan chief as a hero.

But knowing full well and having endured the atrocities committed by them—actions that had nearly driven the Human Clan to extinction—He now felt not a single shred of pity toward the Yán Clan chief. Instead, his fury grew ever more potent.

A foe who has caused annihilation? What kind of "protector of the clan" does that make?

He would not only utterly subdue the land of the Yán Ghost Clan—but he would slaughter every single member of that clan who refused to surrender, including the Yán Clan chief himself!

Desire to be a hero?

Death itself, Tanatos, welcomes you.

He silently transmitted his orders to Bai Yun.

"Every Yán Ghost Clan member who refuses to surrender—kill them all without mercy!"

Upon receiving Zhou Zhan’s command, Bai Yun immediately issued her cold decree.

"Yes!"

Ten trillion soldiers roared in unison, surging forward toward these isolated and helpless Yinggui clan soldiers.

When Yanjun and Chixuan Tian emerged from the World of Swords, battered and broken, the few remaining Yinggui clan members still resisting were barely visible to Yanjun's eyes—only those who had fought alongside the Prairial Kingdom remained.

Seeing this, Yansuo, ignoring her own wounds and the hostile glares from those surrounding her, hovered motionless in midair.

In the meantime,

True Gods arrived from all directions, encircling Yanjun at the center, leaving her no chance to escape.

When she finally regained her senses, she found herself surrounded by over a hundred True Gods.

Escape? Impossible.

Yanjun no longer wished to flee.

She let out a bitter, hollow laugh, then grasped her ghostly earth-stabilizing spear behind her back, her eyes fixed on the surrounding True Gods with unflinching resolve.

"Come on!!!"

He roared toward hundreds of true gods.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom...

As countless true gods launched their attacks upon Yán Jūn, the Yán King fell to the ground in an instant.

"Clear the remaining enemies, then secure the battlefield, and then we will go to the Tian Qian clan and the Luosha clan to collect war resources."

Bái Yún commanded.

The soldiers instantly obeyed.

And Bái Yún then carried the corpse of Yán Jūn to Zhou Zhōu's side.

"Your Majesty, the ghost and god-stabilizing earth gun in this man's hands appears to be a true divine artifact."

Bái Yún said respectfully.

"Set it down."

Zhou Zhan nodded.

Upon hearing those words, Bai Yun gently laid down the Lord of Hell's corpse, bowed in retirement, and returned to the battlefield to resume commanding the soldiers.

Gazing at the corpse of the Lord of Hell floating before him, Zhou Zhan willed his power into motion, activating the King of Loots alongside the racial artifact ability of the Lucky Star.

Text prompts manifested before his eyes.
