Chapter 188: The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Descends

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry Descends

Outside, the entire Sovereign Blessed Land seemed to grow quiet.

Yet within the chamber, countless Laws thundered around him.

Star-like Laws revolved around his body.

His distant gaze seemed capable of piercing the heavens themselves.

A faint smile touched his lips.

"He has not disappointed me—the strength of a divine black dragon nation, declaring war on six kingdoms..."

His voice was soft.

There was satisfaction in it.

And perhaps a little pride.

"The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry... go..."

Deep within Sovereign Blessed Land, inside a vast canyon, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Millions of white steeds stood suspended in midair.

Their hooves did not touch the ground.

Their bodies remained perfectly still.

White mist curled around their legs.

Cold light shimmered across their armor.

Each rider wore white armor beneath a blood-stained cloak.

Millions of soldiers stood in perfect formation.

Not a single person spoke.

Not a single horse moved.

Then Victor’s voice reached them.

The commander at the forefront suddenly raised his head.

His gaze turned toward Sovereign Peak.

He bowed deeply.

"As our lord wishes."

The words were quiet.

But the moment they fell—

The entire army moved.

Millions of Divine White Horses surged forward.

Their hooves shook the earth.

Their hooves struck the void.

BOOM!

The canyon trembled.

A massive wave of wind swept outward.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry descended toward the battlefield like a white torrent.

Victor watched from Sovereign Peak.

A smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Our own must be looked after. Let me see if the Salvatore Family can produce a true Emperor of Ages!!"

With that, his eyes closed.

CRACK—!

The void moon manifested.

Divine phoenixes cried out.

The ancient heavens shook.

Victor sank deep into cultivation.

---------------------

Divine Black Dragon Empire Border.

Dominic Salvatore wore black battle armor.

The Emperor himself stood at the head of the army.

Behind him, millions of soldiers stood in absolute silence.

Their armor reflected the cold sunlight.

Their weapons were held tightly in their hands.

Yet none of them showed fear.

They gazed toward their sovereign.

Their eyes were filled with deep loyalty and devotion.

Since the fall of the Azure Sovereign Kingdom and the rise of the Divine Black Dragon Empire, Dominic had issued decree after decree.

The entire nation had transformed at astonishing speed.

The people who had once struggled simply to survive now enjoyed abundance beneath his rule.

He established academies throughout the empire.

Any citizen with a military service record could attend free of charge.

Those who accumulated greater military merit could even step onto the path of cultivation.

That decree alone had driven the entire Divine Black Dragon Empire into a frenzy.

Every citizen became fearless in battle.

Their families had food.

Their children had a future.

Everything they possessed had been given to them by their Emperor.

How could they not be willing to fight for him?

How could they not be willing to die for him?

Dominic stood beneath the vast sky like a lone crane.

Yet the entire Divine Black Dragon Empire seemed to rest within his grasp.

Other rulers treated their people like livestock.

Dominic did not.

He treasured them.

And because of that—

His people treasured him in return.

Over these two years, the Divine Black Dragon Empire had campaigned far and wide.

With the Dawn Empire’s support, many smaller states had been swallowed whole.

Several of those nations had even possessed granted characters.

Normally, when two granted-nation states fought, they had to consider the dignity and authority of the divine kingdoms behind them.

But the Divine Black Dragon Empire had no granted character.

It was an independent nation.

It was subordinate to no divine kingdom.

Normally, independent nations would have been bullied by granted-nation states.

They would have been forced to retreat.

Forced to pay tribute.

Forced to endure humiliation.

But who could have imagined that the Divine Black Dragon Empire would conquer against all odds?

It had forcibly swallowed several nations.

And by the time the larger empires finally realized what was happening—

The Divine Black Dragon Empire had already become a colossus capable of rivaling them.

Its national fortune surged.

And with it, Dominic’s cultivation became increasingly terrifying.

He had now reached Heavenly Genesis Great Perfection.

Several stars had already begun taking shape within his body.

After this battle—

He would step into the Stellar Sovereign Realm!

Dominic looked across the battlefield.

The wind carried the distant scent of blood.

His fingers tightened slightly around the reins.

This battle would be different.

He could feel it.

"In just two years—you’ve swallowed twenty-one nations! If we let you continue, the entire Celestial Capital Domain will be left with only you!"

A voice thundered across the battlefield.

The enemy forces had finally arrived.

Six nations had united against the Divine Black Dragon Empire.

Their armies stretched across the horizon.

Flags covered the land.

Armor glinted beneath the sun.

At their head rode an armored general.

His mount snarled beneath him, scraping one hoof against the earth.

Behind him stood an army bristling with killing intent.

The general raised his weapon.

His voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Dominic Salvatore! Your independent nation violates the divine kingdoms’ will! Surrender now—and perhaps your people will be spared!"

The battlefield fell silent.

Millions of soldiers waited.

Dominic sat atop his warhorse.

His expression did not change.

He looked at the enormous army before him.

Then—

He smiled.

It was not an arrogant smile.

It was the calm smile of a man who had finally been waiting for his opponent to arrive.

"I have waited for you."

His voice carried across the battlefield.

"Six nations, united against me—this is exactly what I wanted."

He spoke calmly.

Unhurriedly.

As though he were discussing something as ordinary as the weather.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Divine Black Dragon Empire stirred.

Their eyes burned.

Not with fear.

With anticipation.

They had come here to fight.

To conquer.

To win.

And far beyond the battlefield—

Beyond sight.

Beyond perception.

Beyond the awareness of every ordinary cultivator present—

An army stood in silence.

White armor.

Silver steeds.

Blood-stained cloaks.

The air around them seemed to freeze.

Millions of riders waited without making a sound.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had arrived.
