Chapter 38: The Li Dynasty (Finale)
In the two hundredth year, geniuses emerged one after another in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.
For fifty years, the thirteen nations that had once attacked the Heavenly Origin Dynasty attempted to placate Su Chen's anger with various resources.
Su Chen merely sneered at their efforts. After fifty years of recuperation and rebuilding, his army was strong and his horses well-fed. Without hesitation, he launched an assault on the nearest enemy—the Azure Wave Kingdom. All the old grudges with the Azure Wave Kingdom were finally settled.
Inside the Azure Wave royal palace, the Azure Wave King trembled upon hearing that the Heavenly Origin Dynasty had invaded. The Azure Wave Kingdom possessed no Profound Connection Realm guardian. Regret consumed him. Had he known the Heavenly Origin Dynasty would become so terrifying, he would have thrown every ounce of support behind the Heavenly Wind Kingdom and prevented its fall at all costs.
But regret was useless now. In less than half a year, the Heavenly Origin army stood before the capital gates. The supposedly impregnable defensive array was nothing more than a joke in Su Chen's eyes—he shattered it with a casual strike.
The Azure Wave Kingdom perished. The fall of Azure Wave sent shockwaves of dread through the neighboring kingdoms.
When lips are gone, teeth grow cold.
After this battle, Li Hongwen sensed his lifespan nearing its end. He bid farewell to Su Chen and set out beyond the Hundred Kingdoms in search of a final breakthrough opportunity. He was never heard from again.
Su Chen chose not to pursue further conquests against the other nations. Li Hongwen's departure filled him with a sense of crisis. From that moment on, he focused entirely on strengthening his own foundation and preparing for the life to come.
