The three-million-strong army immediately charged into the city.
All the Spirit Mountain Holy Land Buddhist disciples scattered and fled, showing horrified expressions. However, no one could escape Ba’s army. The ghost army waited outside while the hanba zombies and the human army charged in. There were also many citizens and officials who supported Jingwei and the first princess.
“There! Him! The one wearing a hat! He is a monk! He captured my younger brother yesterday and snatched my younger brother’s enchanted treasure!”
“Over there! There’s an evil monk there!”
“Hahaha! The evil-doers finally get what’s coming to them. The first princess returned. You can all forget about escaping.”
The citizens kept pointing out the locations of monks, feeding a constant stream of beheadings.
The hundred-phoenix carriage flew slowly towards the city center.
At the front of the carriage, Jingwei said with pacified expression, “Elder Sister, you are awesome!”
Ba looked indifferently at the surroundings, apparently reminiscing.

Word of the events of Divine Farmer City spread throughout the world. Many factions paid attention to this.

This was especially so for the Spirit Mountain Holy Land. Jiang Gautama stood in the Hall of Great Strength’s plaza, with the Past Buddha behind him, the two facing east.
“Lord Buddha, Jiang Ba has returned,” the Past Buddha said with an unsightly expression.
“Indeed, she returned. Jiang Lianshan left a good pawn behind,” Jiang Gautama said sullenly.
Jiang Gautama looked coldly at the distant Jiang Ba in Divine Farmer City. Despite the vast distance, he could see her clearly.
He saw the phoenix carriage slowly land on the Divine Yan Hall’s plaza.
“Salutations, First Princess!”
“Salutations, Princess Jingwei!”
“This old official finally got to see this day!”
Countless officials rushed to the Divine Yan Hall.
The Buddhist disciples had already been cleared out of the Divine Yan Hall’s plaza.
After Ba alit from the phoenix carriage and stood on the plaza, she raised her head and looked in all directions.
Jingwei took out a large token and shouted to the sky, “Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s blessings, I, Jingwei, oversee the nation at my father’s behest. Now, with this Nation Overseeing Mandate as proof, I pass on the nation to my eldest sister, Ba. Vast blessings, heed my command and honor Ba as your master!”
“Roar!”
The vast blessings cloud sea suddenly churned. The golden blessings dragon there seemed to be struggling, apparently splitting apart. It was as if one portion was willing to obey, while the other portion refused.
“Humph!” Ba snorted coldly.
“Roar!”
The image of a golden dragon came out of Ba’s body and soared into the sky. When the golden dragon appeared, it shone with a bright, golden light. After arriving at the blessings cloud sea, it suddenly opened its mouth.
“Roar!”
Ba’s golden dragon opened its mouth and frenetically sucked up the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s blessings like a whale swallowing water.
Rumble…!
Ba’s golden dragon swallowed the surging blessings. Then it flared with a dazzling light, becoming more corporal. Furthermore, what looked like refined blessings appeared around it.
“Roar!”
The Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s golden blessings dragon roared as it split, turning into two golden dragons. The smaller one immediately rushed into the mouth of Ba’s golden dragon.
Whoosh!
After Ba’s golden dragon swallowed the smaller golden dragon, it grew to ten kilometers in length in the blink of an eye. Furthermore, it continued sucking in the surging blessings.
“Roar!”
After the split, the larger Yan Heavenly Dynasty golden dragon tried to resist. However, Ba’s golden dragon rushed over.
“Roar!”
Ba’s golden dragon bit the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s golden dragon.
The two dragons started tearing and biting into each other, tumbling around the blessings cloud sea above.
Ba was forcibly subduing the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s blessings.
Far away, Jiang Gautama’s face sank. “Jiang Ba, those blessings are mine!”
Strangely, the cold shout reached Divine Farmer City, filling the place with Jiang Gautama’s voice.
“His Highness the Crown Prince?” Countless officials’ expressions immediately changed.
Ba suddenly turned her head and looked.
As she looked over, her vision seemed to penetrate time and space, reaching the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
“Listen carefully. Everything here is ours. If you don’t accept that, come and take it in person! Humph!” Ba snorted coldly.
Boom!
A ferocious and murderous intent rushed at the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
Despite being on opposite ends of the Divine Continent, Ba’s voice thundered in the Spirit Mountain Holy Land.
The domineering tone contained a murderous intent, causing the expressions of countless buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats to change dramatically.
Jiang Gautama’s face sank.
“Roar!”
Ba’s golden dragon finally consumed the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s golden blessings dragon.
Whoosh!
All the surging blessings in the sky immediately poured into the mouth of Ba’s golden dragon.
It grew and grew and grew to twenty-five thousand kilometers in length before stopping.

As the golden dragon enlarged, it emanated blessings in large volumes, as if the blessings cloud sea came from the golden dragon’s pores.
Buzz!
The twenty-five-thousand-kilometer-long golden dragon suddenly took human form, turning into an over three-hundred-meter-tall image of Ba wearing imperial robes and a crown—a blessings incarnation.
“The appearance of a blessings incarnation means the establishment of a heavenly dynasty! This is impossible!” Loud exclamations came from the surroundings.
Besides Ba’s blessings incarnation, the images of the various officials also formed above the blessings cloud sea. Among them were the war god Xingtian and Archer God Hou Yi. However, they were much smaller than Ba’s blessings incarnation.
When the countless officials’ blessings incarnations appeared, they saluted Ba’s blessings incarnation.
Boom!
The blessings cloud sea trembled, spreading out a vast, imposing air.
“From this day on, we—Ba—take over the one thousand eight hundred cities of the Yan [炎] Heavenly Dynasty. Our Yan [焱] Imperial Dynasty will formally ascend to a heavenly dynasty, now the Yan [焱] Heavenly Dynasty! We rename Divine Farmer City to Great Desolation City, and Divine Yan Hall to Divine Flame Hall. We declare this to the world, and may everyone bear witness!” Ba shouted coldly.
“Roar!”
The golden blessings dragon let out an earthshaking roar that spread everywhere. The one thousand eight hundred cities’ citizens heard Ba’s voice.
“The Yan [焱] Heavenly Dynasty? Could it be the first princess?”
“The first princess returned? The Yan [焱] Heavenly Dynasty?”
“What about His Highness, then?”
The citizenry felt incredibly shocked.
Boom!
Some hanba zombies quickly changed the signboard at Divine Farmer City’s city gates to Great Desolation City.
The signboard above Divine Yan Hall was also changed to Divine Flame Hall.
Far away, Jiang Gautama said with a sullen expression, “Ba? Hah! You truly abandoned your Jiang family name. Even so, you are still taking revenge for Jiang Lianshan?”
Jiang Gautama’s voice reached Great Desolation City.
At the Divine Flame Hall’s entrance in Great Desolation City, Ba said coldly, “Revenge? Hah! You are overthinking. We are just taking back what belongs to us. Jiang Gautama, you had best not offend us. Otherwise, we will march on the Spirit Mountain Holy Land and crush your Spirit Mountain Holy Land to powder!”
Far away, Jiang Gautama’s face stiffened.
“I’ll give you one month to take away all the Buddhist disciples from the Yan [焱] Heavenly Dynasty. Afterwards, all who remain will die!” Ba said coldly.
At the distant Hall of Great Strength’s entrance, Jiang Gautama’s eyelids twitched wildly, but he fell silent.
Ba now ignored Jiang Gautama. Instead, she turned her head to the Divine Continent’s southwest.
“Ji Dihong? We have returned. We will deal with our grudge in due time. Humph!” Ba snorted coldly.
Ba did not wait for a reply from the Huang Heavenly Dynasty. Instead, she immediately turned her head and stepped into the Divine Flame Hall.
“Elder Sister!” Jingwei followed behind anxiously.
Simultaneously, the many officials Ba had brought from the nether realm quickly followed her into the Divine Flame Hall.
Outside the city, the passageway to the nether realm narrowed. However, it remained open. Many soldiers stood guard there as humans and ghosts streamed out.
The appearance of the Yan [焱] Nation shocked the world.
Great Desolation City had countless spies from other factions, which had made little of the Spirit Mountain Holy Land’s maintaining a hold on the Divine Continent’s cardinal east position. After all, the Spirit Mountain Holy Land was all the way in the west, simply too far away.
The other factions had been waiting for an opportunity to split the Yan [炎] Heavenly Dynasty among themselves. However, the Yan [炎] Heavenly Dynasty’s first princess returned before any opportunity came. Ba? She seemed even more domineering than Jiang Lianshan.
The surrounding factions immediately lay low.

Borderless Heavenly Capital:
Gu Hai witnessed Ba’s overbearing demeanor. When she waved her hand, she killed anyone in her way, be they deities or buddhas—to his shock.
She forcibly consumed blessings, snatched away all the territory of the Yan [炎] Nation, scared off Jiang Gautama, challenged Ji Dihong, and looked down on the Divine Continent with her strength alone. This caused Gu Hai’s eyelids to twitch wildly.
“Yan [焱] Heavenly Dynasty, Great Desolation City, and Ba? How amazing!” Gu Hai’s expression turned serious.
At some point, Vairocana walked out of his hall to stand beside Gu Hai.
Kong Xuan and the others frowned slightly at Vairocana’s arrival, but they did not stop him, as Gu Hai had given instructions regarding him previously. This person was Gu Hai’s ally. They were not to obstruct him unless it was a major matter, like going against the nation.
“Another Long Zhanguo?” Vairocana said in shock, with palms held together.
Buzz!
The heavenly eye on Gu Hai’s forehead withdrew, vanishing.
“What did you say?” Gu Hai looked at Vairocana with some confusion.
“This Ba should be like Long Zhanguo back then, cultivating to the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. This Ba is very powerful. She even has Xingtian and Hou Yi as her officials? They are even stronger than their counterparts on our side,” Vairocana marveled.
“Oh? How are they on that side?” Gu Hai asked.
“They have already died. However, they were not this powerful. This should be because of Jiang Lianshan, right?” Vairocana said seriously.
“Jiang Lianshan?” Gu Hai asked in bewilderment.
“That’s right. I have never met Jiang Lianshan, but he should correspond to Shennong, the divine farmer. However, our Shennong is not as powerful as Jiang Lianshan. Although Jiang Lianshan died, his death slowly exposed his previous means. How incredible!” Vairocana said seriously.
“Is he that powerful?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.
“The Spirit Mountain Holy Land was subordinate to him, this Ba is his daughter, the Huang Heavenly Dynasty listened to him, and there’s the Chiyou you mentioned. Haha! Who would dare to touch him when he was alive? These people only appeared because he died. What has been revealed so far is already much stronger than Long Zhanguo,” Vairocana said.
Gu Hai nodded. “Indeed.”
“Let’s take their children as a point of comparison: Long Zhanguo’s sons, Long Shenying and Long Shenwu, and Jiang Lianshan’s children, Jiang Gautama and Ba. Haha! If Jiang Lianshan did not get held back by matters of the heart, this might have been his age!” Vairocana marveled.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
Indeed. Looking at the children, while Long Shenying and Long Shenwu were strong, they were weaker than Ba and Jiang Gautama. Furthermore, Ji Dihong seemed to be a hidden pawn of Jiang Lianshan.
Given that, what Jiang Lianshan had hidden was the most horrifying.
