6720: Defeat All Enemies
The road to military expansion has begun!
Li Tianming sped up his pace slightly.
Of course, this acceleration was only compared to before.
Stability was still the most important thing.
With his methods, and with the increase in overall strength, he was already invincible, impossible to defeat.
Furthermore, Yin Chen had given him a panoramic view of the entire Desolate Realm galaxy. Li Tianming now had a clear view of who was where, and how many Imperial Orders they possessed.
This made it easy for him to select targets for military expansion.
Defeat them, crush them, and collect their Sumeru Rings.
Those who wanted to leave could leave, and those who wanted to stay could stay.
Li Tianming could simply distribute the Sumeru Rings to those who left, without using any himself.
With the increased pace of military expansion, those who chose to stay naturally had fewer than those who left. This meant that everyone would receive a significant number of Sumeru Rings. While this wasn’t as much as the rewards from the Star Ancestor Avenue, it was still encouraging enough. After all,
it was clear to the n*ked eye that their team was growing larger and more invincible!
Everyone’s confidence was growing stronger.
Facts proved that emotions are contagious. When the first group to follow Li Tianming rose to prominence, it was hard not to envy others.
Ling Ling, in particular, was known to everyone. She had previously been an eighth-rank Primordial Cosmic God of All Things in an eighth-rank galaxy, and had recently reached the second-rank Star Ancestor realm, a leap so vast that she had saved hundreds of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years of cultivation. Who wouldn’t be excited?
“This is just the beginning!”
“When I join the Celestial Emperor Sect, I’ll give you even more!”
Li Tianming didn’t even hold back, promising them even more. After all, as long as he deployed the ‘Fixing Sky Butterfly’, he could afford it anytime.
Conquer!
Recruit!
Reward according to merit!
As the years passed, round after round of conquests continued, and Li Tianming’s army grew by the thousands.
Thirty years flew by in the blink of an eye!
After countless training sessions and campaigns, targeting the Dao Beast Tide, Li Tianming secured nearly 50,000 Imperial Orders and officially achieved his goal of 10,000 Tianming troops!
This astonishing feat not only shocked the Dengtianzhou but also spread to the inner reaches of the Tiandi Sect, attracting many members of the Tiandi Sect to personally visit the Dengtianzhou to see this “extraordinary man.”
Praise and criticism were mixed,
but Li Tianming cared little for the outsiders’ opinions.
This was the confidence Jiang Feiling gave him.
Of course, there was also the confidence provided by the constellations of the Void Universe and the world planets.
It was immortality and the support of powerful backers!
Who could stop me?
There was no need to hold back.
“Listen up!”
Li Tianming stood before the mighty army.
Everywhere he looked, he saw top prodigies from star systems of level eight and above. Over the past thirty years of campaigning, he had already recruited over thirty Star Ancestors, not counting his three attendants.
“From today on, the Heavenly Fate Army is officially renamed the ‘Heavenly Fate Imperial Army’!”
“And the Heavenly Fate Imperial Army’s new goal is—” “
Sweep across the Desolate Realm and defeat all enemies!”
Training an army of ten thousand talented individuals within this Desolate Realm galaxy, with so many followers, was already incredible enough.
Such a passionate slogan immediately sent the young people’s minds racing. Someone took the lead, and everyone followed suit.
After all, this was the most passionate age.
“Defeat all enemies!”
“Follow Brother Tianming—”
In the minds of tens of thousands of people, what kind of ninth-level galaxy did Li Tianming even come from?
He must be a super-rich
second-generation! And a capable and resourceful one at that.
Compared to Li Tianming’s wealth, even his personal charisma intensified their enthusiasm.
This was forged through thousands of battles. Even against Dao Beasts, this team could unleash immense combat power and cohesion.
It all came down to their recognition of Li Tianming as their ‘brother’! Of all
things, loyalty is paramount!
Li Tianming would not treat them unfairly.
“Brother Tianming? We’re less than halfway through the Hundred-Year Assessment, and our Tianming Imperial Army is still expanding?”
Zhao Guodong glared.
“Expand!”
Li Tianming’s energy sank into his dantian, his voice resonating throughout the heavens. “As long as the assessment isn’t over, we’ll keep expanding until no one else can be seen in this desolate galaxy!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, the tens of thousands of Tianming Imperial Army soldiers present were stunned.
“Am I crazy, or is Brother Tianming crazy?”
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Li Tianming, however, smiled, his eyes more determined than ever.
“Since we’re here, why not break the Celestial Emperor Sect’s billion-year-old record…”
“If so, how far will my Imperial Dao grow?”
“If so, will it cause a sensation in the Celestial Emperor Sect?”
“What do the people outside think now?”
…
boarding the Sky Boat.
In fact, silence had already lasted for a long time.
Li Tianming’s capture of tens of thousands of troops wasn’t a sudden event, but rather a continuous process spanning thirty years. Every single increase in his forces had been under everyone’s watchful eye.
“Li Tianyang.”
The Black Feather Tower Master looked at him for a long time and suddenly called out.
Li Tianyang knew that what was coming would come.
“Here.”
Li Tianyang stood up, stepped onto the high platform, saluted the Black Feather Tower Master, and said, “Greetings, Tower Master.”
“Your father went to this small chaotic galaxy, right?” The Black Feather Tower Master said, with a slight smile on his face. Li
Tianyang was sweating profusely.
The Black Feather Tower Master didn’t wait for him to answer, obviously already having the answer in his mind, so he asked again: “How was the harvest?”
Li Tianyang held it in for a while.
Looking up, he saw that the other two great imperial teachers were looking at him with cold eyes.
Li Tianyang knew that this matter could no longer be concealed.
So, he gritted his teeth and said, “Master, it’s strange. My father and some of our clansmen have been there for decades, and there’s been no news.”
“No news?” Master Moyu looked puzzled. “Does that mean the harvest was so great that they couldn’t bear to return?”
Li Tianyang could only shake his head. “Possibly, but not likely.”
“Interesting, truly interesting.”
Master Moyu looked at Li Tianming, who was reflected in the light and shadow, and said thoughtfully, “It seems this young man’s background is far greater than we imagined.”
“Master, how do you think we should target him?” Li Tianyang knew that his family’s chances of taking the treasure were slim, so it was better to ask Master Moyu for help… they’d already been discovered.
“Target him? Why target him?” Master Moyu shook his head. “It’s a good thing for someone with such a strong background to join our Tiandi Sect. It makes the Tiandi Sect truly open to all. So, that’s it. Read on.”
Li Tianyang’s face twitched, and he could only nod, “Yes, Master.”
“Go back.” Master Moyu waved casually.
Li Tianyang took his leave.
As soon as he returned to his position, a disciple said to him, “Emperor Master, your niece’s position seems very close to that of Li Tianming.”

My brothers have been dealing with urgent matters these past two days, so my writing has been affected. I’ll only update once today. That’s all done now. I’ll try to catch up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, aiming for more updates. Please forgive me. I’m very sorry for the suddenness of this incident. I’ll do my best to catch up.
