Shennong Dao Master

"Absorb souls?" Yao Yuanchun's face changed dramatically.

What kind of evil technique is this?

However, upon closer inspection, he realized he was mistaken.

Because what flew into the sky were tiny insects, although their nature was similar to a person's Yin God, they were not human Life Souls.

"Is this a soul worm?" As a fourth-rank Priest, Yao Yuanchun was well-versed in the Soul Path and naturally knew that human Life Souls contained many tiny insect-like creatures.

Yet, he hadn't delved deeply into it, knowing their existence but unaware of their purpose.

"Zhao Chen'an, who exactly are you? Such a profound soul skill—I've never even heard of it." Yao Yuanchun was immensely shocked.

He originally thought he was exceptionally talented, making a name for himself in Pinghai State, but today, after seeing Zhao Xing, he felt as though he was like a frog at the bottom of a well.

"After this, I must apply to join the Nine Provinces Traveling Department and travel the world. My knowledge is still too shallow." Yao Yuanchun thought to himself.

...

In Tianxia County, on the eastern side of the county capital, Tianxia Mansion.

"Ha ah~" A bald muscular man at the rank of Standard fourth-rank, Chen Guang, was cultivating within his residence, adapting to his new Realm.

After the Tianxia King's rebellion, he rewarded his subordinates with numerous treasures, enhancing their strength.

As one of Tianxia King's trusted aide Commanders, Chen Guang was currently digesting the 'Heavenly Spirit Essence Pill' he consumed yesterday.

"Ha ah~ What's going on, why am I so sleepy today?" Chen Guang yawned once again.

"Could it be the effect of the medicine, with my strength rising and the busy days, perhaps I'm a bit tired?"

"I can't sleep now; the Prince may summon me at any moment." Chen Guang circulated his Qi-Blood, struggling to stay awake.

But the sleepiness was overwhelming, hitting him one wave after another, his eyelids growing heavier.

Chen Guang could choose to self-harm to keep resisting.

But at present, it's not about combating an enemy; who would self-harm just to fight sleepiness? Wouldn't that be crazy?

"Forget it, I'll take a nap for two hours." Unable to resist, Chen Guang instructed the guards standing outside, then lay down on a jade bed to rest.

"Welcome into the dream!" In his stupor, Chen Guang seemed to hear something, but his mind was not clear.

Under the influence of the top-level Sleeping Bug spell and the Welcome into the dream enchantment, he instantly entered a dream.

...

In Tianxia Royal Mansion.

"Starting from February 5th, Tianxia Army's Divine Machine Camp, Divine Fire Camp, Divine Festival Camp, and Heavenly Dragon Camp will assemble in Tiannan County."

"I shall use Tiannan County as a base, to take control of the seventy-two counties south of Tianhe Prefecture."

"Moreover, the Yuan Gui Army is mine for the taking; it's an army composed entirely of Mechanical Puppets, fearless of death, guaranteed to exert great power... Insolence!"

As the Tianxia King spoke, he suddenly slammed the sand table, glaring angrily at the generals below.

Because while he was talking, three fifth-rank generals kept yawning.

This was downright intolerable!

"Guards, drag them out... hmm?"

Before the Tianxia King could specify the punishment, the three suddenly closed their eyes, collapsing to the ground, sunk in deep sleep.

Simultaneously, in the sand table deduction hall, among dozens of generals, more than half began yawning.

"Thud~ Thud~"

One after another, the generals suddenly fell asleep.

In the time it took for the Tianxia King to be momentarily stunned, half had fallen!

Now, even a fool would realize something was amiss.

"Everyone, circulate Primordial Energy, stimulate the central system, and awaken two Po souls." The Tianxia King's voice thundered like an explosion in the ears of those remaining.

"General, I'm so sleepy..."

"General, I... I can't hold on."

Even so, many fourth-rank generals were filled with drowsiness, completely unable to resist.

"Who is playing tricks!"

Both shocked and furious, the Tianxia King had never seen such a spell.

"Primordial Soul out of the body!"

Standing still, a phantom flew from the Tianxia King's body, observing the Life Souls of the generals.

He discovered their Life Souls were enclosed by black spheres.

"What? What kind of spell is this! It can make my fourth-rank generals all fall into dreams!" The Tianxia King was immensely appalled.

Though he had layers of sealing arrays here, someone silently infiltrated?

"Awaken!!"

The Tianxia King shouted angrily, his Life Soul flashed brightly.

Boom~

The sound echoed through the great hall.

Forty generals, half awakened immediately.

But the other half continued to sleep.

"Welcome into the dream~~"

The lingering echo, even the Tianxia King himself felt waves of sleepiness.

Startled, he instantly returned to his physical body.

"Whoosh~"

He immediately flew towards the source of the sound.

At this moment, the Tianxia King was unaware, that half of the sleeping generals had already experienced soul death.

Dream assassination differs from direct Life Soul killing; it gradually leads the soul to perish.

The Tianxia King, not versed in the Soul Path, merely assumed someone cast illusions causing his generals to succumb.

This wouldn't do! Without his mid-tier generals, how could he command a grand army?

He must find and eliminate this perpetrator, even knowing it might be a trap, he had to investigate.

"Certainly unable to drag the third-rank into sleep." Up in the sky, Zhao Xing opened his eyes. "Still, this is enough."

"Mr. Zhao, a strong individual is flying up from below." Yao Yuanchun immediately showed a tense expression, staring downwards.

"It's the Tianxia King." Zhao Xing also stood, "Brother Yao, prepare for battle!"

Below the Prince Mansion, an Ancient Bronze War Chariot harnessed the Gang Wind, soaring skyward.
