Three years later, the Northwest Continent and the North Continent were completely unified! A massive force, powerful enough to dominate the Central Continent, rose with unstoppable momentum!
During the three months that Liu Yu was asleep, the Jia Ma Empire destroyed the royal families of the Chu Yun Empire, the Luo Yan Empire, and the Mu Lan Empire, and annexed the territories of the three empires. In
the new year, after Liu Yu woke up, the Jia Ma royal family suddenly made a decision to merge the entire royal family into the Serpent People!
The following month, the Jia Ma Empire disappeared, and a new, massive empire emerged - the Sheng Yu Empire!
The Sheng Yu Empire was mainly composed of four major departments.
The Alchemy Hall was headed by Fa Ma and Gu He. Among them, Gu He, who had broken through from a sixth-grade alchemist to a seventh-grade alchemist, was the hall master, and Fa Ma, a sixth-grade alchemist, was the deputy hall master. The remaining alchemists above the fifth grade were all elders of the Alchemy Hall, and those below the fifth grade were disciples of the Alchemy Hall.
The Law Enforcement Hall is composed of the Jia Ma Imperial Family and the eight chieftains of the Snake People. Jia Xingtian is the head, and the other eight chieftains serve as deputy heads.
The Council of Elders comprises the Third and Fourth Elders of the Snake People, as well as a number of Dou Huang powerhouses, including Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.
The Worship Group currently consists of only one chief worshipper
, Xiao Yixian. The Alchemy Hall oversees alchemists and controls elixir resources; the Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for maintaining domestic order and security; the Council of Elders oversees the internal and external development of the Holy Feather Empire; and the Worship Group intervenes only when the empire is truly in danger.
In the fourth month, Yun Yun, a peak Dou Huang, consumed the Breaking Sect Pill and broke through to the Dou Zong realm.
Simultaneously, the Holy Feather Empire embarked on a campaign to unify the Northwest Continent!
In the eighth month, the Holy Feather Empire's momentum was unstoppable, directly occupying nearly half of the Northwest Continent. During this campaign, they encountered stiff resistance from the Celestial Snake Palace within the Celestial Snake Empire, where a three-star Dou Zun powerhouse emerged!
However, after the Holy Feather Empire dispatched two Dou Zun, and, citing the existence of an eighth-grade alchemist in the Holy Feather Empire, invited the Heavenly Snake Venerable to become the Second Worshiper of the Worship Corps, the Heavenly Snake Palace also became a subordinate faction of the Holy Feather Empire.
In the tenth month, the first eighth-grade elixir, the "Zun Yuan Dan," was produced, causing a stir in the northwest continent.
Simultaneously, the six-colored elixir thunder drawn by the Zun Yuan Dan caused the Earth Demon Puppet, a small demon that had previously endured numerous seventh-grade elixir thunders, to successfully transform into a golden Sky Demon Puppet, possessing the combat power of a one-star Dou Zun!
The Zun Yuan Dan, an eighth-grade intermediate elixir, can increase a Dou Zun's strength by one or even two stars without any side effects. It is only effective for Dou Zun who have not yet reached the Ninth Transformation Realm, and a Dou Zun can only consume one elixir in their lifetime.
After the eighth-grade elixir was refined, Queen Medusa was the first to consume it. Perhaps due to the superior quality of the Zun Yuan Dan refined by Liu Yu, Queen Medusa instantly broke through from a four-star Dou Zun to a six-star Dou Zun, a direct leap of two stars in strength!
This shocked Little Medical Immortal and Venerable Heavenly Snake, especially Venerable Heavenly Snake. He had been a Dou Zun for nearly a hundred years, a period of intense cultivation in seclusion, barely reaching the three-star Dou Zun realm! Imagine how difficult it is to break through to the Dou Zun realm!
Yet, he witnessed a Dou Zun break through to two-star power after consuming an eighth-grade elixir! Was this the terrifying power of an eighth-grade alchemist?!
Perhaps joining the Holy Feather Empire was his wisest decision!
After witnessing the miraculous effects of the Zun Yuan Dan, Venerable Heavenly Snake anxiously suggested to Liu Yu that they cease their cultivation and resume their conquest of the Northwest Continent.
Liu Yu was naturally aware of Venerable Heavenly Snake's impatience, as the ingredients for refining the Zun Yuan Dan had been gathered during the conquest of the Northwest Continent, with several key ingredients collected from the Tianshe Mansion's treasury.
Now, the medicinal materials needed to refine the Zunyuan Pill were insufficient, only half a supply. The fastest way to obtain more medicinal materials was to conquer the entire Northwest Continent and then gather them en masse!
In the fourteenth month, the Northwest Continent was completely unified, and the Holy Feather Empire became the sole dominant power!
During the months of conquest, Liu Yu, along with Xiao Mo, Queen Medusa, Little Medical Fairy, and Heavenly Snake Venerable—four Dou Zun masters—used force first, then courtesy, to confront the alarmed Dou Zun masters from other forces in the Northwest Continent. Ultimately, these Dou Zun masters became part of the Holy Feather Empire.
With the incorporation of the Northwest Continent's Dou Zun masters, the Holy Feather Empire's tribute group now had seven tributes, seven Dou Zun masters!
From then on, the Holy Feather Empire's top combat force, including Liu Yu, a "pseudo-Dou Zun" capable of fighting against ordinary Dou Zun masters, Queen Medusa, and Xiao Mo, totaled ten Dou Zun-level masters!
And after absorbing the forces of the entire Northwest Continent, the number of Dou Zong and Dou Huang masters under him was innumerable!
In the fifteenth month, Liu Yu began suppressing news of the unification of the Northwest Continent and secretly issued a "Soul Suppression Order." The entire contingent of worshippers was mobilized, aiming to completely eliminate the remaining remnants of the Soul Hall in the Northwest Continent. Of course, capturing the guardians alive was paramount.
After all, the souls of these Soul Hall guardians held numerous advantages for Liu Yu, and Dou Zun-level warriors possessed at least a Spirit Realm soul, making it easy to defeat these Soul Hall guardians.
Of course, Liu Yu's willingness to show such "caring" for the Soul Hall stemmed from the fact that, at this stage, the Soul Hall was subject to various restrictions, limiting its deployment to the Northwest Continent to the Guardian level. Therefore, Liu Yu seized this opportunity to "wipe out" them all!
In the sixteenth month, not content with simply gathering medicinal herbs, and determined to secure a Zun Yuan Dan, the seven great worshippers of the Holy Feather Empire, along with Zi Yan, led a group of Dou Zong and Dou Huang warriors in an "invasion war" against the major Warcraft Mountains of the Northwest Continent.
In the seventeenth month, all the rare medicinal herbs in the various Monster Mountains in the entire northwest continent were almost completely looted by the people led by the offering group!
Zi Yan and the offering group returned with a bountiful harvest, including an eighth-rank demon beast, the Thunder Eagle. This ancient beast possessed the power to summon thunder, also known as the Thunder Venerable. He became the Eighth Offering of the Offering Group.
In the eighteenth month, three Supreme Yuan Pills were produced, and with the six-colored thunder rumbling through the pills, the Earth Demon Puppet, Xiao Mo, transformed into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, comparable to a three-star Dou Zun!
The Chief Offering, Xiao Yixian, the Second Offering, the Heavenly Snake Venerable, and the Third Offering were the first to consume the Supreme Yuan Pills, achieving breakthroughs to the rank of three-star Dou Zun, five-star Dou Zun, and four-star Dou Zun, respectively!
The Heavenly Snake Venerable, with his relatively extensive experience, reached two stars!
The Chief Offering, Xiao Yixian, once again devoured various toxic herbs collected from across the northwest continent, achieving a breakthrough from three to five stars!
In the nineteenth month, Liu Yu, a peak-level nine-star Dou Zong, finally broke through to the Dou Zun realm, becoming a one-star Dou Zun! The entire nation rejoiced! He was given the title: Holy Feather Celestial Venerable!
At the same time, Liu Yu's soul realm, boosted by his Dou Qi cultivation, broke through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm! He was only one step away from the Celestial Realm Soul Realm!
In the twenty-second month, Liu Yu refined three elixirs simultaneously! He subsequently refined six Zun Yuan Dan (Zun Yuan Dan)! The second time he refined three elixirs, he attracted seven-colored Dan Thunder!
Tempered by the relentless thunder, the Heavenly Demon Puppet Xiao Mo's strength increased again, rivaling a four-star Dou Zun, Xiao Di a three-star Dou Zun, and the newly
promoted Heavenly Demon Puppet Xiao Luo a two-star Dou Zun. The various members of the Worship Corps consumed Zun Yuan Dan, achieving breakthroughs one after another, significantly increasing the overall strength of the Worship Corps. Liu Yu also used Zun Yuan Dan to achieve a breakthrough to the two-star Dou Zun!
At this point, excluding Liu Yu and the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Holy Feather Empire boasted one six-star Dou Zun—Queen Medusa; two five-star Dou Zun—Little Medical Fairy and Heavenly Snake Venerable; three four-star Dou Zun; and three three-star Dou Zun.
In the twenty-fourth month, news arrived from the Feather Pavilion in the Black Horn Territory that the Northern Continent was on the verge of war, sparked by Elder Yingshan's covert instigation of conflict among the various factions. While things had been going smoothly, a new force suddenly emerged, adding fuel to the flames, igniting a war that spread across the entire Northern Continent. A Dou Zun suddenly appeared!
Upon witnessing this, Liu Yu first constructed multiple wormholes connecting the Black Horn Territory with the Northwest Continent, then dispatched several members of the Worship Corps to the Black Horn Territory to construct wormholes connecting the Black Horn Territory with the Northern Continent.
In the twenty-fifth month, Liu Yu employed the "Soul Differentiation Technique" to condense his soul avatar, leading the entire Holy Feather Empire's Worship Corps and numerous Dou Zong and Dou Huang masters to the Northern Continent.
In the twenty-eighth month, Liu Yu himself, accompanied by Queen Medusa, journeyed to the Northern Continent, ultimately unifying the continent.
The numerous Soul Palace guardians who had secretly fueled the conflict, along with the souls they had collected, were transformed into pure soul essence and devoured by Liu Yu.
Many Northern Continent factions were annihilated, and after some stubborn Dou Zun were besieged and slain, the remaining major factions submitted.
At this point, the Holy Feather Empire occupied the Northern Continent, and three low-rank Dou Zun warriors were added to the Worship Corps.
In the 30th month, Liu Yu began suppressing news of the Northern Continent's unification, and the Holy Feather Empire entered a period of recuperation, digesting the gains from its occupation of the Northern Continent.
In the 32nd month, having previously devoured a significant amount of soul essence, Liu Yu, after consuming rare soul-enhancing herbs collected from the Northwest and Northern Continents, achieved a breakthrough to the Celestial Realm! He reached the Early Celestial Realm!
In the 33rd month, Liu Yu began refining the eighth-grade elixir, the Xuanyuan Yunqi Pill.
This eighth-grade, primary elixir is primarily used to aid Dou Zun cultivation.
In the 35th month, Liu Yu retreated and began fusing the five kinds of strange fire, supplemented by source power.
Zi Yan, after consuming pills crafted from numerous rare herbs, accumulated sufficient energy and began her ascension!
...
The Northwest Continent boasts numerous Dou Zun warriors, as mentioned in Chapter 1350 of the original novel, regarding the turmoil there.
The conquests will not be detailed to avoid excessive word count, and the storyline of the Central Plains will then quickly transition.
