Chapter 1600: Joint Forces Invasion

He naturally understood that these glories were bestowed upon him by Xu Yang.

Long Saber the Third played a crucial role in facilitating communication between Xu Yang and Queen Huolingji. With his help and interpretations, Queen Huolingji soon fully embraced Xu Yang and the cooperative spirit of the powerful team he had rallied.

More importantly, upon learning that Xu Yang possessed a method to improve the cultivation environment throughout the Barbarian Empire, her attitude towards this formerly domineering young man completely shifted.

She now approached Xu Yang for subsequent interactions with the humility of one seeking guidance.

"If everything you say is true, Your Excellency, then I, this Queen, will certainly offer my full support!"

At this moment, Queen Huolingji and Xu Yang were together in her private palace.

The two had a long, intimate conversation for several hours, completely dissolving any barriers or misunderstandings between them.

Now, Queen Huolingji not only regarded Xu Yang as a true ally and partner but also developed a fondness for this exceptionally handsome and powerful young man.

Of course, she clearly understood that, given Xu Yang's immense power, vast experience, and the formidable lineup under his command, he was like a magnificent swan compared to her mere sparrow – their respective levels were simply not on the same plane.

She could never hope to reach the level of a god-like existence like Xu Yang!

Over the next half month, Xu Yang's primary focus was to painstakingly help Queen Huolingji improve the living conditions throughout the Barbarian Empire.

After his investigation, Xu Yang discovered that the reason for the extremely harsh environment in this place was partly due to the influence of the laws of the Second Divine Temple World.

Therefore, to fundamentally change these harsh conditions, law-level power was also required for intervention.

In this regard, Xu Yang was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Only he could influence the rules of this world at the level of laws.

The powerful Law of Light, influenced by Xu Yang's spiritual energy, rapidly spread and radiated throughout the territory of the Barbarian Empire. The moment light descended, all poisonous mists and the various life-draining sources of power hidden in the darkness that were eroding the imperial warriors quickly withered away.

However, this also required a process of influence; no matter how powerful Xu Yang's Law of Light was, it was absolutely impossible to completely dissolve the inherent laws of the Second Divine Temple World in an instant.

As the two forces collided and began to take effect, the warriors of the Barbarian Empire were astonished to find that, due to the influence of Xu Yang's light power, the frequency of their negative physical conditions decreased, and the intervals between their occurrences lengthened.

Furthermore, their constantly eroding life force showed signs of recovery and strengthening.

Because of this, Xu Yang and the hundreds of thousands of demon beast legions he led gained increasing influence within the Barbarian Empire.

Originally, they were seen as invaders by the native people of the empire, but before long, they became god-like saviors.

Even the armored demon beast warriors, under Xu Yang's command, quickly integrated into the Barbarian Empire, helping it achieve comprehensive development in all aspects.

In just a few weeks, the formerly backward Barbarian Empire acquired various infrastructure necessary for developing productivity.

It was almost as if the entire empire had been reborn!

Just as everything was progressing positively, the royal families of the Black Armor Empire and the Brocade Empire finally received news that Xu Yang's large demon beast army had joined the Barbarian Empire as invaders and were cooperating with them.

"This is outrageous!"

In the magnificent palace of the Black Armor Empire, its supreme emperor, in a fit of rage, shattered the table in front of him.

All the officials bowed down in kowtow.

"Your Majesty, please calm your wrath! This group of invaders is indeed powerful and has quickly allied with the Barbarian Empire. However, from your humble servant's perspective, this development is advantageous for the overall imperial power structure of the Second Divine Temple World.

"We can use these invaders as a pretext to unite with the Brocade Empire. With their substantial financial backing, we can form an invincible, all-conquering imperial legion and invade the Barbarian Empire in a single stroke.

"Thus, the three-empire power structure will transform into a two-empire one.

"And once we conquer the Barbarian Empire, our Black Armor Empire will undoubtedly become the foremost empire on the continent.

"The future mission of unifying the entire Divine Temple World will naturally fall upon us.

"While the Brocade Empire is powerful, if it loses the Barbarian Empire as a significant influencing factor, how could its strong economic foundation alone possibly stand against our tens of millions of Black Armor legions?

"Sooner or later, they too will be swallowed by us!"

As expected, the officials of the Black Armor Empire successively presented such plans for annexing the Divine Temple World.

Moreover, uniting with the Brocade Empire to attack the Barbarian Empire was the inevitable course of action.

The Emperor of the Black Armor Empire quickly turned his anger into joy and burst into loud laughter.

"What you all say is correct. This is indeed the best opportunity for our Black Armor Empire.

"Immediately convey my decree to the Brocade Empire, proposing an alliance. Strive to form a joint legion within a month and launch an attack on the Barbarian Empire."

Soon, news of this two-empire alliance reached the Barbarian Empire.

This time, however, after truly witnessing the power of Xu Yang and his team, Queen Huolingji showed no signs of worry; instead, a trace of joy surged within her heart.

The opportunity she had awaited for countless days and nights had, by chance, become a reality with the appearance of Xu Yang's team.

The two empires' declaration of war was absolutely the best chance for the Barbarian Empire to counterattack.

If they could defeat the joint legion, they could take advantage of the victory to expand their territory. This goal, which no previous Barbarian Empire king had achieved, would now become a reality under Queen Huolingji.

After a brief discussion, Xu Yang gave Queen Huolingji his utmost support.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry! We'll handle whatever comes our way.

"Now we can legitimately eliminate their forces.

"And this is precisely the perfect opportunity for my hundreds of thousands of demon beast legions to sharpen their blades and prepare for battle.

"It's also time for those little ones to unleash their power."

Half a month later, the joint legions of the two empires, consisting of three million heavily armed soldiers and a team of over one hundred thousand cultivators, gathered in Nightmare Valley, on the border between the two empires and the Barbarian Empire.

On the Barbarian Empire's side, due to limited numbers, they could only muster three hundred thousand warriors of the Barbarian tribe.

Compared to the opposing force, they had only one-tenth of the manpower. However, thanks to Xu Yang's full support and the addition of hundreds of thousands of demon beast troops, this so-called 'invader' force actually appeared even more formidable and terrifying.
