The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 383 - 384
Chapter 383: 384
Boom!
But just at that moment, a formidable presence suddenly descended from the sky. Several figures charged out, boldly intervening and blocking the cannon barrages, neutralizing them.
In an instant, the casualties of the Qin Dynasty’s army significantly decreased as the previously erupted blinding white light gradually dispersed, revealing the scene ahead.
“Despicable, they really couldn’t help but make a move!” Fang Yiping frowned tightly as he looked at the situation in front of him, his tone filled with anger.
The ones who had suddenly made a move were none other than the marquises and other generals of the Qin Dynasty. There were more than three hundred of them controlling the cannon fire, which was no difficult task.
However, both sides had an unspoken understanding that their Awakening Realm soldiers should not interfere with the fight between their armies at will. Now, seeing their own side suffering heavy losses, they couldn’t help but intervene, which was laughable.
The elders of the three factions were all indignant, but Lin Qian didn’t see any problem with it, knowing this was war.
If his side’s army was suffering heavy losses and still not taking action, that would be utterly foolish!
“Elders, I’m afraid I will need to trouble you to take action next.” At this moment, Lin Qian stood up, wiped his mouth, and looked around at everyone. With a wave of his hands, various Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts before them, the expressions of the elders from the three factions slightly changed.
Three days ago, Lin Qian had suddenly approached them, hoping they could lend their Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts temporarily.
Originally, they were hesitant. The Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts were essential to their armament, and without them, they could not use their Elemental Weapon Armament, which would greatly decrease their combat power.
Asking them for their Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts was a very impolite thing to do. But out of respect for the three old elders, they could only grit their teeth and hand over their Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts to Lin Qian.
After giving them to him, they wondered what Lin Qian wanted with their Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts, as he surely couldn’t use them himself.
After the Awakening Realm, Martial Souls awaken into their true forms and will shape into forms suitable for the individual, so most Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts are custom made by Artifact Refiners.
Only if one temporarily can’t find a qualified Artifact Refiner to make Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts would they look for some generic items as a temporary substitute.
Yet the Elemental Components and Elemental Artifact Hearts that Lin Qian returned to them had all been upgraded by a whole level.
Just as they were immersed in the joy of their enhanced Elemental Sets, Lin Qian’s actions caught them by surprise.
Lin Qian’s hands suddenly produced several scrolls with peculiar lines and unintelligible patterns flowing across them.
Roar!
All of a sudden, the scrolls in Lin Qian’s hands caught fire, transforming into a flame that hovered above his hand.
And at that moment, Lin Qian swiftly swung his arms, tossing the burning flames toward several elders.
Lin Qian’s bizarre actions left these elders from the three factions puzzled, and they also noticed that the rapidly enlarging fireballs had no temperature whatsoever.
For some reason, the elders had no thought of dodging and simply allowed the fireballs to strike them directly.
Something astonishing happened – the fireballs made from the burning scrolls, upon touching the bodies of the elders, were entirely absorbed into their bodies.
Following closely, a pale red light diffused from the point where fireballs entered their chests, spreading throughout their bodies.
From a distance, these stricken elders radiated a red glow that was strikingly conspicuous.
“Incredible!” exclaimed one of the elders bathed in red light, looking up at Lin Qian. “Your Majesty Lin, what’s happening?”

Not just this elder, but the others whose bodies were similarly aglow, looked down at their hands in disbelief, evidently not expecting such a turn of events.
“What happened that’s got you all so surprised?” Another elder, curious about his colleagues’ shocked expressions, stepped forward to ask.
From their description, it was learned that after being struck by the flames from the burning scrolls by Lin Qian, their deficiencies in strength were somehow enhanced—not by a small margin!
Every person is different, after all, such as some elders who saw an increase in speed, while others might grow stronger.
Yet, after being bombarded by the flames, their weaknesses were bolstered, resulting in a significant overall power boost.
Take, for example, the elder with a bulbous nose from the Carefree Sect, whose soul skills were extremely deadly but consumed a great deal of Soul Power. His own quantity of Soul Power was just slightly below the average.
But after being struck by the flames from Lin Qian’s burning scrolls, the amount of his Soul Power had astonishingly surged.
Whereas the elder’s renowned soul skill could only be used three times in a battle, now he could use it at least seven times. His combat power was incomparable to what it had been before.
Lin Qian, watching the elders shimmering all over, clapped his hands in satisfaction. “This is called ‘shoring up your weaknesses.’ Being able to compensate for your shortcomings within a single day, I now believe that the Marquises and generals of the Qin Dynasty are no match for you.”
Lin Qian’s words brought the crowd to a realization, and they quickly understood the anomaly happening to their bodies.
Lin Qian turned to look into the distance, where the hastily set-up barriers had been shattered, and the Empire’s army in the distance began to reorganize and gather. The bombardment of heavy artillery had already caused the opposing side to lose a third of their forces!
With the appearance of their own Awakened strong from the Huaxia Empire, whether it was the Central Qin Regular Army or the forces from all eight directions, they were all greatly reassured.
Yet, gazing at the turbulent river below still sent shivers down their spines.
The sheer breadth of an army of hundreds of millions stretched far and wide, with no less than five roaring rivers below.
Yet, it was the pillars of Soul Power bursting forth from these five rivers that had devoured the lives of their compatriots!
A Marquis, unable to restrain himself from acting, surveyed the distant battleships, their massive forms like moving castles in the sky.
“Where on earth did this Huaxia Empire spring from? What in the world are Wei Guo and Qiu Country up to? Weren’t they supposed to sneak attack the Carefree Sect and Blood Spirit Valley? Why is there still no news!” This Marquis frowned and cursed inwardly.
According to their initial opulent strategy, while the massive army here was to draw attention, Qiu Country and Wei Guo were supposed to secretly gather troops three days earlier to ambush the Carefree Sect and Blood Spirit Valley.
News of an attack to the rear would undoubtedly rattle the minds of the three forces involved!
However, the current situation left them completely at a loss, as they had nearly lost a third of their forces without even a proper sighting of the enemy, and the losses occurred with astonishing speed. Had they not acted, they might have lost half by now!
As the Marquis pondered this, the river below exploded anew. The familiar yet fearsome pillars of Soul Power once again struck the Qin Dynasty’s forces with overwhelming might, catching them off guard.
The aerial Marquis cursed profusely at this turn of events, “Who the hell’s territory are we fighting in, for heaven’s sake? Another damn trap!”
