Chapter 97 The Annihilating Sacred Mountain

"Tang Kingdom's Sacred Mountain?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng and the others were extremely curious.

"It is not surprising that you who came from other places do not know about the Tang Kingdom's Sacred Mountain. In fact, this sacred mountain is not naturally formed but is an extraterritorial sacred mountain, which was descended by the ancient gods."

The old man showed a look of reverence.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Feng looked puzzled; this terrifying mountain was not naturally formed, but came from outside the realm.

"I remember that ten years ago, the Thunder Kingdom tried to invade the Tang Kingdom, and as a result, the ancient god was furious and summoned a stone mountain of annihilation, which fell from the sky and instantly killed the lord of the Thunder Nation and millions of troops in the Thunder Nation."

The old master sighed. "It was this battle that completely secured the status of the Tang Kingdom, and then the Tang Kingdom also smoothly annexed the land of the Thunder Kingdom, eventually becoming the current Tang Dynasty."

Since then, this vast stone mountain has stood in place, and countless believers come to worship and pray continuously.

He said that this place has become a scenic spot in the Tang Dynasty, a famous sacred mountain. He did not know how many believers arrived at the sacred mountain seeking miracles.

Even every time they ride the Sky Bird and pass by the sacred mountain, the people recite the scriptures and pray to the gods.

"This!"

The people looked up at the vast stone mountain in the distance and saw no end to it. They couldn't imagine how huge this stone mountain really was; it almost seemed like a continuous mountain range.

This was a vast mountain range that had never been seen in the land of the Treasure Nation. When everyone saw this sacred mountain, they felt incredibly small, like ants.

"Is it really false that this unimaginably large mountain range was summoned by the so-called ancient gods?" someone whispered.

He was a bit disbelieving of the old man's words, thinking that this was too exaggerated. How could such a huge mountain range be summoned by mere invocation?

"False, definitely false. It must be the people of the Tang Kingdom bragging and forging rumors. Such a vast mountain range must be naturally formed, existing since ancient times. Only gods could create such rumors."

Another subordinate felt that the Tang Kingdom was creating rumors to unify the faith of the whole country and enhance the persuasiveness of the gods.

"No, it's true."

The third prince Zhao Feng said in a deep voice, "In fact, after the Thunder Kingdom was destroyed, my father immediately sent spies to investigate how the Thunder Kingdom was obliterated."

As a result, many spies returned with reports saying that a mountain of annihilation had fallen from the sky, instantly smashing the lord of the Thunder Nation and others, and destroying more than half of the elite troops of the Thunder Kingdom. The Thunder Kingdom was annihilated.

Before this, this vast stone mountain had never appeared; it materialized out of thin air. Many residents living nearby could testify to this."

To tell the truth, as one of the overlords of the Treasure Nation, the Thunder Kingdom had once been one of their biggest competitors. Now that the Thunder Kingdom had been overthrown, it was impossible for them not to investigate why.

Similar news about the destruction of the Thunder Kingdom had been investigated countless times.

"Just kidding, if it's true, then does the Tang Kingdom really have the protection of the ancient gods?" someone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water, extremely shocked and panicked.

After all, if they were to fight against humans, they still had a chance to win. But the opponent was the legendary ancient god. Then, they would simply surrender—there would be no need to fight, as victory would be impossible.

"No, it may not be the protection of the ancient gods."

The third prince Zhao Feng shook his head. "In fact, Father Emperor once speculated that this might be a powerful force the Tang Kingdom possesses, utilizing world props to summon the stone mountain of annihilation, thus destroying the Thunder Kingdom."

He believed that the power of these world props could cause such an astonishing effect. But no, even if it is the power of world props, this is still extremely terrifying."

"Yes, if the other side summons dozens or even hundreds of similar extinction stones to fall, wouldn't it be possible to destroy all the cities of our Treasure Kingdom and kill tens of billions of people?"

"No, no, no. Even if they can only summon one stone mountain of annihilation, I am afraid it can instantly smash everyone in our capital, and when the time comes, no one will escape." The crowd was terrified, their bodies trembling.

Before, they had been despising the Tang Kingdom's extreme luxury, thinking they were only focused on face projects with no actual military power. But now, when they looked at it, the Tang Kingdom's combat strength seemed terrifying and overwhelming, giving them the realization that they had the ability to destroy the world.

If the other side used this world prop, how many countries under the heavens could resist? They feared that even if the Tang Kingdom unified the world, it would not be a difficult task.

At this moment, they developed a deep fear of the Tang Kingdom, not just from nature but from the sense of oppression caused by the Annihilating Divine Mountain. After all, the sheer size of the Annihilating Divine Mountain in front of them was truly overwhelming.

"The truth is, when Father Emperor learned of this matter, he immediately left the capital. He placed his own stand-in in the capital while hiding in the shadows, fearing that the Tang Kingdom would summon the Annihilation Divine Mountain in an instant, completely destroying the entire Treasure Kingdom."

The third prince Zhao Feng spoke in a deep voice. His father, the lord of the Treasure Kingdom, had been so frightened by this news that he fled the capital.

After all, if you're not afraid of one, you're afraid of ten thousand.

If the lord of the Tang Kingdom were a madman and had come to the capital to summon the Annihilation Divine Mountain, wouldn't the Treasure Kingdom be completely wiped out?!

In short, they weren't afraid of the possibility, but were cautious just in case. A wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.

"But you probably don't need to be so nervous."

At this moment, Zhao Feng's words turned sharply: "To tell the truth, since the Thunder Kingdom was destroyed, the Tang Kingdom has focused on dividing and defending itself for a full ten years. It has not invaded other countries, instead only developing its own domestic economy with peace of mind, which has also given us some relief and doubt."

That is, if the Tang Kingdom really possesses such a powerful force, why haven't they taken advantage of their victory to pursue further? Why not summon many Annihilation Stones and destroy another country?

However, the lord of the Tang Kingdom has not done this and has remained low-key for ten years. We had a bold guess: perhaps the world props mastered by the Tang Kingdom have a huge side effect or defect. We suspect that the power of these world props is not so easily used, which is why Tang Kingdom has been low-key for a full decade."
