The next day, news of the devastating massacre of the imperial army spread throughout the Soaring Cloud Region, leaving everyone in shock.
Many found the news hard to believe. This was the mighty imperial army, yet they were wiped out in less than an hour.
The supposedly invincible Field Marshal was killed in just two strikes.
How could this be?
The shock wasn't limited to the Soaring Cloud Region; it spread like wildfire throughout the Magma Plain.
All the neighboring regions were thrown into a frenzy, with countless unanswered questions lingering in their minds.
How could a hidden force possess such powerful experts?
Is the Legend of the Immortals true?
In the imperial capital, the king was plagued by worry.
Pacing back and forth in the palace, his face was etched with nervousness.
After annihilating the imperial army, the store had left a chilling ssage for the king: They were coming to the imperial capital to et the king.
The ssage sent a cold shiver down the king's spine. How could he allow such monsters to enter his capital?
"I can't allow this. I must kill these bastards before they reach the imperial capital," he declared, his face filled with firm determination.
In the Tugon Imperial Capital, the Necoris King sat on his magnificent throne.
He was tall and burly, his glowing red scales emanating a powerful aura that seed to shake the surrounding air.
Seated below him were his advisers.
"What should we do about this unknown power?" the king asked gravely.
Although the Necoris race considered humans beneath them, the ergence of this unknown power had shifted their perception.
A hundred-thousand-strong Necoris army, led by a Tier-3 commander, had been obliterated in a single day.
What's more, all their spies in the Soaring Cloud Region had been eradicated.
Against the experts of this mysterious power, even the Necoris' innate strength and physique were useless.
Now, with the destruction of the human imperial army in less than an hour, the threat posed by this unknown force could no longer be ignored.
The king surveyed his advisers, waiting patiently for their suggestions.
"My King, we must tread carefully with this unknown force. We should remain patient and observe how the human king deals with this growing threat," one adviser suggested.
"I disagree," another countered. "Although the human king is a weak, spineless dog, the sa cannot be said for this unknown power. We must act quickly before they target our people."
"And what do you propose?"
"Send assassins to eliminate them," the adviser said confidently.
"Are you insane?! Who in their right mind would take on such a suicide mission?" another voice shouted.
"We won't know unless we try. Besides, we're not targeting the two most powerful figures but the weaker ones among them."
"I don't think that will work, but I have a better idea," a quiet Necoris said from the back.
"Quickly, tell us…"
Over the following days, the prestige of the Celestial Heavenly Store soared across the Soaring Cloud Region.
Faith in the store beca unshakable among the inhabitants.
rchants from four other regions flocked to the Soaring Cloud Region, eager to obtain the renowned Spirit Comms.
Previously the weakest region in the Thunia Kingdom, the Soaring Cloud Region had now beco the strongest.
With bandits and Necoris completely eradicated, it beca an ideal place to live.
Housing prices surged with the influx of people, businesses flourished, and the citizens were overjoyed.
Another notable developnt that caught people's attention was the construction of pagodas in every city.
Given the current fa of the Celestial Heavenly Store, building the pagodas was relatively easy.
However, what drew even more attention was the growing influx of users on You Connect.
As other regions began acquiring the Spirit Comms, You Connect beca increasingly vibrant and engaging.
People eagerly shared the utility and magic of the Spirit Comms with others.
City Lords from the four neighboring regions didn't try to curb the spread of the Spirit Comms. Instead, they encouraged it.
Secretly, they sent ssages to the Celestial Heavenly Store, inviting them to establish branches in their regions.
How could they not? The Spirit Comms were the latest trend.
Without a Spirit Comms device, one was considered lower class.
Less than two weeks after the battle, the Thunia Kingdom was conquered by the influence of the Spirit Comms.
On the street, people walked in two and three discussing the latest trend on the You Connect. Now, listening to a story in the bar was not as appealing as before.
Smiles appeared on faces of the commoer. Gone were the days when they were lonely without friends. On You Connet, thousands of friend were waiting for them.
Even in the imperial capital, powerful clans managed to acquire the devices.
At noble gatherings, those without Spirit Comms were ostracized.
While the young masters discussed beautiful girls from other regions on the Spirit Comms, the young ladies did the sa with eligible bachelors.
The allure of the Spirit Comms grew stronger each day.
From his throne, the king watched his people slowly shift their allegiance, embracing the unknown power.
He seed to have aged decades, his once-dark hair now completely white.
Dejected, he muttered, "Am I going to lose my kingdom to this unknown power?" Stay updated with empire
As king, how could he allow such bastards to take over his kingdom?
Even his ministers had stopped attending the palace's morning etings.
With the loss of the imperial army, he had lost the ability to intimidate the powerful clans.
Suddenly, a guard rushed into the palace's main hall.
"Your Majesty," the guard said, falling to his knees in respect.
"What is it?" the king asked, his voice dull and devoid of hope.
To him, the guard had likely brought more bitter news.
"Your Majesty, there is news of a deadly poison spreading throughout the Soaring Cloud Region."
"Many people have died, and it seems there is no cure."
The king froze for a mont before bursting into loud laughter.
"Hahaha! Let's see how they overco this," he said, a twisted grin on his face.
