    Chapter 2 - Xia Xuan

    In the enormous imperial discussion hall, Xia Cha was the leader, and a letter was placed in front of him. Xia Cha''s cold eyes stared straight at the letter. Around him, countless of the Empire''s secret upper echelons sat quietly, many of them with lazy expressions on their faces. All of them were people who had made great contributions to the Empire, and they, who enjoyed the empire, had long ignored all matters of the Empire.

    There was complete silence. No one dared to speak. used to be the Ninth Prince when he was young, and thus had no affinity with the throne. However, his talent was extremely high, and he was already one of the top experts in the empire when he was just fifteen years old, becoming one of the top three in the empire when he was twenty years old. However, that teenage boy was able to defeat Xia Cha so easily. It was not hard to imagine that there was a strong empire behind him, and no one dared to say anything about it.

    "As the strongest trump card of the Empire, the Shadow Legion naturally cannot be used so easily. However, we cannot ignore this matter." Xia Cha looked at the letter on the table, his eyes suddenly focused, and said: "Pass down my order, increase the Empire''s border guards'' strength by ten times, and expand the military power by three times in the shortest amount of time possible, at the same time, strengthen the Shadow Legion''s training intensity, without mistake."

    "Yes." "Yes!" All the ministers replied and disappeared.

    Sitting alone in the Meeting Room, Xia Cha stared at the letter on the table, only to see that it said: "Ten-Thousand Iron Army, the Desolate Land is attacking, not leaving a trace behind."

    A black-clothed child slowly shook his head. With an ice-cold voice, he said. "I still have to do it myself ˇ­"

    After a long while, Xia Cha walked out of the Meeting Room, and saw the child who was waiting for him. This child''s clothes were simple and unadorned, with a benevolent expression, without the slightest bit of dignity that he should have. He was shockingly Prince Xia Xuan.

    Seeing Xia Cha coming out, Xia Xuan immediately grabbed onto both of Xia Cha''s hands, and an immature child''s voice anxiously said: "Royal father, Xuan''er is starting to train, the moment she wakes up, she is already at Stage Nine."

    "Oh!" Xia Cha was slightly surprised. As he held Xia Xuan''s hands, he realized that this child who never had a single spiritual energy in his body actually had an extremely dense amount of Qi in his body.

    Just as he was rejoicing, a white-robed man suddenly appeared behind Xia Cha. Seeing that Xia Cha and Xia Xuan were happily chatting, the white-robed man stood there quietly without saying a word.

    After chatting with Xia Xuan for a while, Xia Cha stroked Xia Xuan''s hair and let one of them play. He turned around and glanced at white-robed man, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, as the majesty of an emperor surfaced on his face.

    "Your majesty, that child has been found." The white-robed man said in a low voice. Hearing that, Xia Cha looked around and started whispering with white-robed man.

    On the second day, in a commoner academy called Jinxing, Xia Xuan stood at the entrance of the academy, dressed in plain clothes and full of smiles.

    As soon as he stepped into the academy, Xia Xuan started to frown because there were a dozen or so people surrounding and attacking a person not too far away. The people in the surroundings hid far away, afraid that they would be miserably attacked by the fish pond.

    Although he was besieged by a dozen people, the person did not show any signs of panic. His body actually toyed with those people until they turned around. Just as the 10 were preparing to attack again, Xia Xuan suddenly made his move. Xia Xuan''s sudden appearance shocked everyone present.

    The surrounding spectators immediately began whispering to each other.

    "Who are you?" One of the people that looked like the leader roared at Xia Xuan.

    "Can you control it?" Xia Xuan laughed in disdain, and then, with a turn of his body, he sent the two people beside him flying.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan snorted, her figure flashed and appeared in front of the man, his fist striking his body, immediately causing him to fall to the ground.

    That person crawled up while clutching his stomach, and looked at Xia Xuan fiercely. However, after seeing Xia Xuan''s slowly raising fist, he quickly retreated, and said to his subordinates: "Go, cripple him."

    The man who was besieged earlier stood beside Xia Xuan, staring coldly at the people who were about to rush over. Everyone repeatedly withdrew when they saw the icy-cold gaze.

    "Su Bing, you know that we aren''t really looking for trouble with you this time, there''s no need to do this right?" The person that was punched by Xia Xuan said.

    Without replying, the spiritual energy in the hands of the man called Su Bing gathered together and a short sword already appeared.

    Brother Wang Hao will look for you guys. Let''s go. The leader waved and led everyone away.

    Seeing that everyone had left, Xia Xuan started to size up the person called Su Bing. He was dressed in simple clothes but had a long breath.

    Su Bing glanced at Xia Cha and said: "Mind your own business." He then ignored Xia Xuan and turned to leave. However, before he walked too far away, the black haired man turned his head and said, "Be careful of Wang Hao." And then, he left.

    Looking at the black haired man''s leaving figure, Xia Xuan shrugged his shoulders, and thought to himself: "There are no good people to report." Then he went to find a place to stay alone.

    Walking on the road of the academy, Xia Xuan''s mood was extremely good. As he was walking, Xia Xuan realized that something was wrong. He looked around and didn''t see anyone around him. On the way, a man dressed in black wore a mask and carried two longsword s on his back. He stared at Xia Xuan with killing intent in his eyes.

    Unknowingly, a masked white-robed man suddenly appeared behind Xia Xuan. On his back were two longsword s, but his eyes were equally filled with killing intent. Apart from the color of his clothes being different from the man in black, the rest could be said to be exactly the same.

    Glancing at the white-robed man, Xia Xuan sneered. With a swirl of his palm, the spiritual energy congregated into a bunch of pike s, and even though the pike was half a head taller than Xia Xuan, it did not look funny at all. The bright red pike''s color was so dark that it seemed like it was about to drip blood.

    Seeing Xia Xuan taking out the Weapons, the black and white male also pulled out the two swords on their backs.

    Without waiting for the two to make a move, Xia Xuan already held onto pike, turned and swung his spear, wanting to force white-robed man to retreat, but white-robed man used his two swords to block Xia Xuan''s attack.

    At the same time, the man in black held his two swords and arrived behind Xia Xuan like a ghost.

    Chapter 4 - Xia Xuan VS Wang Hao

    Although the Star Jin Academy''s fighting arena was usually quite lively, today it was extraordinary. The entire fighting arena was filled with people, and there were no signs of a spot to be found.

    A majority of the students of the Jin Xing Academy were gathered at the battle arena, the reason being that one of them had accepted the challenge from Wang Hao, the genius of the Jin Xing. Wang Hao was a Qi Cultivator at the age of three, and had reached Stage Six and Stage Seven. He was now a genuine warrior, and was a genius that only came across once in a hundred years. So far, Wang Hao could be said to be invincible in battle against his peers, which was also why it caused such a huge commotion when someone accepted Wang Hao''s challenge.

    On the battle arena that was approximately forty square meters, Xia Xuan and Wang Hao stood to one side. The two of them looked at each other, not daring to take their guard down.

    In the air above the battle arena, a middle-aged man who seemed to be around twenty years old stood on stage and shouted: "Everyone, today''s match is between the number one genius Wang Hao and the genius Xia Xuan, their battle will decide who is the number one genius. I believe that everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I will not say anymore, let us watch the blood boiling competition." With that, the floating platform slowly floated away with the middle-aged man.

    Following the host''s departure, Xia Xuan and Wang Hao immediately became alert, and went around the fighting arena in circles. The spectators in the stands were naturally unhappy with this kind of treatment, shouting nonstop for a moment.

    Wang Hao glanced at the audience, and after seeing the audience''s reaction, he grinned. With Teenage in a state of mind, he immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan sneered, he had already rushed out, and his instantaneous speed was actually not any slower than Su Bing. Wang Hao was clearly not surprised by his speed, and immediately increased his speed, rushing towards Xia Xuan.

    When was about to clash with Xia Xuan, he was surprised to find that Xia Xuan''s figure had suddenly disappeared, leaving only afterimages. When he appeared again, he was already behind Wang Hao.

    Seeing this scene, Su Bing, who was in the audience, had a face full of shock. Even Su Bing, who was known for his speed, was unable to easily release such a terrifying speed, if he still thought that Xia Xuan was Stage Nine Qi Cultivating Stage, no one would believe him.

    Xia Xuan, who had appeared behind Wang Hao, didn''t hesitate at all. He turned his body 360 degrees, and was about to give Wang Hao a ruthless whip kick on his back. However, Wang Hao was truly worthy of being called a genius, when he realized that Xia Xuan had disappeared, he immediately reacted, and threw out a punch right at Xia Xuan''s whip kick.

    The fist and the leg collided, and with a loud sound, the two of them were pushed back more than 10 steps, but from the distance, it was obvious that Xia Xuan had the upper hand.

    Seeing this scene, the audience immediately burst into an exclamation. With regards to Wang Hao, it could be said that no one did not know of him, and they all knew about him. In his hands, Xia Xuan was the strongest person.

    "Fighting with others and hiding your strength, are you looking down on me?" Wang Hao rubbed his fist, the gaze he looked at Xia Xuan with was extremely cold, and even his voice could not help but cause his body to turn cold.

    "Sigh ~ ~" Xia Xuan sighed softly. Then, his body trembled as a powerful aura that only warriors could possess exploded, causing many people to cry out in alarm. The Xing Bei Empire prided themselves for the use of force, but there were very few people who trained, so a person like Wang Hao, who had already reached the level of a ranker, was already a well deserving genius. Right now, Xia Xuan who had appeared out of nowhere looked to be younger than Wang Hao by a few years, but he was also a genuine ranker. How could this not be surprising?

    Feeling the strong aura erupting from Xia Xuan''s body, not only was Wang Hao not surprised in the slightest, his face was also filled with excitement and his aura had also become abnormally hot. As Wang Hao''s aura boiled, a magma-like aura adhered onto his body, and he actually transformed into a armor. The armor took the shape of a lion, revealing a majesty unique to kings.

    Sensing the majesty of this king, Xia Xuan was not afraid at all. Clenching his hand, seven seven seven light sphere appeared in a seven-star shape in front of him, and one after the other, they all flew towards Wang Hao the moment they appeared. Looking at their flight path, they were actually going to surround Wang Hao. Sensing Xia Xuan''s intention, Wang Hao wanted to move his body immediately, but he was immediately besieged by the light sphere, and immediately threw a punch towards a light sphere at his side. Just as the fist and ball made contact, the seemingly weak light sphere and Wang Hao both retreated. For a moment, the seven stars gathered and actually completely surrounded Wang Hao. Sensing that the situation wasn''t good, Wang Hao didn''t panic in the slightest as both of his fists crazily smashed against the light sphere.

    In a corner of the battle coliseum, two figures were quietly standing. The shadow at the corner of the wall made it impossible for people to see their faces. A skinny man suddenly said, "Raging Nu Fist Technique, one punch wins one punch. The seventy-second punch is said to be able to destroy mountains and split the earth, its power is limitless."

    "From the looks of it, he should have practiced up to the ninth move. However, judging from the power of his first move, he should be at least three times stronger than an ordinary member of the Wang family''s Rager Fist Art." Another person suddenly said. His voice sounded a bit old.

    "His opponent is not simple as well," the thin man added, as his gaze couldn''t help but turn towards Xia Xuan.

    In the battle arena, Wang Hao punched the light sphere again and again. It was unknown when the light sphere exploded one after another, but when the last one exploded, Wang Hao''s remaining strength did not decrease at all as he charged towards Xia Xuan.

    Seeing Wang Hao rushing over, a cold light flashed in Xia Xuan''s eyes. He bent his legs slightly and actually charged towards Wang Hao explosively.

    The two fists collided with one another. After a loud explosion, the two people were forced back half a step. However, before they even stopped for a moment, the two fists collided with each other again. What followed was a tragic hand-to-hand fight, a fight that was completely at the expense of one''s punch and one''s kick, the collision of flesh and blood caused many spectators to feel a chill down their spines, and even more so, they closed their binocular, not daring to watch the fight.

    "Wonderful." After kicking Xia Xuan away, Wang Hao could not help but shout excitedly.

    Looking at Wang Hao''s excited expression, the corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, and said: "It''s indeed satisfying, but I can''t hold on for long, it''s better to finish it quickly." After saying that, Xia Xuan clenched his fist again. The Seven Stars light sphere condensed once more, but this time, it formed a circle, looking like a sharp Weapons under the high-speed rotation. Xia Xuan lightly waved his palm, and the seven star light sphere quickly rushed towards Wang Hao. Seeing the light sphere flying towards him, Wang Hao was shocked. Not daring to hesitate, the armor wrapped around his entire body quickly condensed into his right palm, instantly transforming into a nearly solid lion head. He punched towards the light sphere. The two collided and exploded, causing a cloud of dust to rise.

    After a long time, the dust settled, and a person was seen standing on the stage, half kneeling. When the spectators saw the half-kneeling person, they were shocked, because the half-kneeling person was actually the genius, Wang Hao. In other words, the victor of this competition was the Xia Xuan who had appeared out of nowhere.

    The referee from afar was also confused, but because of his job, he quickly calmed himself down and said with an agitated voice, "The victor is Xia Xuan."

    The entire audience cheered, and for a moment, the cheers for Xia Xuan were deafening.

    Chapter 5 - Departures

    In the early morning of the second day, Xia Xuan finished his breakfast early, but when he was walking towards his classroom, he felt extremely helpless. Almost everyone was looking at him with a strange look, and then they were talking to the people around them about what had happened in the Colosseum.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan arrived at the classroom, but it was empty. When the students arrived at the classroom one after another, all of them were discussing about Xia Xuan. Regarding this, Xia Xuan felt extremely helpless, and could only turn his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

    "Who the hell are you?" Xia Xuan who was immersed in the beautiful scenery suddenly heard a cold voice, he turned to look, only to realize that Su Bing had suddenly appeared beside him, and was leaning towards him as he spoke.

    "Hmph." Looking at Su Bing''s silhouette, the corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth slightly rose, and said: "Come with me to a place."

    Not long later, Xia Xuan brought Su Bing to a hill that no one was around. Looking at Su Bing who was looking around, Xia Xuan smiled slightly, then suddenly placed a hand on Su Bing''s head, suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy rushed in.

    Su Bing lost consciousness after being attacked by the spiritual energy, but he quickly recovered. However, when he recovered, he was already in a battlefield. There were only two people on the battlefield. One of them was clad in golden armor, surrounded by golden dragons. Although he didn''t say anything, from time to time, dragon roars could be heard.

    The other person was dressed in a blood-colored robe and holding a blood-colored pike. His entire body was filled with a suffocating killing intent, and his appearance was actually exactly the same as Xia Xuan.

    The golden-armored man''s lips moved slightly, but Su Bing could not hear a single sound. After the golden-armored man finished speaking, the man dressed in blood armor started roaring angrily, and then she exploded towards the golden-armored man.

    The battle between the two was extremely intense. No matter who it was, every move they made would cause the heaven and earth to shatter. Just the Qi they were emitting was sufficient to suffocate Su Bing.

    Unknowingly, the golden armored man waved her hand and countless bolts of black lightning descended. The blood-red armored man that was originally evenly matched with him actually directly lost, and then continued to endure the golden armored man''s attack before finally falling.

    Following the fall of the blood armored man, Su Bing''s consciousness returned to reality. Looking at the smiling Xia Xuan in front of him, her eyes were filled with shock.

    "Have you recovered the memories of your past life?" Xia Xuan looked at Su Bing''s still shocked face and said with a smile. "Let''s go, we will return to the The Divine Realm."

    Not long after, Xia Xuan and Su Bing returned to the classroom, and Xia Xuan who had nothing to do continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

    The people in the classroom were all talking among themselves. Unknowingly, Xia Xuan, who was looking out the window at the scenery, trembled, as he looked at the stage with slight surprise. Suddenly, a white-robed man appeared out of nowhere on stage. In the entire lecture hall, only Xia Xuan had found out about it. Not long after the white-robed man appeared, a man suddenly walked into the classroom and stood beside the white-robed man. The man was none other than Wang Hao. It was only after Wang Hao had entered that everyone noticed the white-robed man. And when they saw Wang Hao standing beside the white-robed man, they were slightly surprised and curious for a moment.

    Hello fellow students, I am your form teacher and also your headmaster. I have very high requirements of my students, so tomorrow I will test you all. Those who do not pass will be transferred to another class. Wang Hao, who is by my side, will be in charge of supervising this exam. " With that, white-robed man and Wang Hao turned and left the classroom, leaving behind a group of deceived students.

    After white-robed man left, the students immediately turned to look at Xia Xuan. A genius who could defeat Wang Hao, if he could form a team with him, could naturally pass the test with ease. Sensing everyone''s gaze, Xia Xuan was also greatly alarmed, and immediately said: "Fellow students, listen to me, a team member must have a tacit understanding, it''s not like the stronger you are, the better. I still have things to do, you guys can slowly form a team." With that, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and disappeared.

    After leaving the classroom, Xia Xuan returned to his room just in time to see Wu Zhi reading.

    "Yo, so busy people are back." Wu Zhi gloated when he saw Xia Xuan had returned.

    "Have you found your teammates yet?" Xia Xuan came to Wu Zhi''s side and said: "I need a military advisor. Can you lend me your brain for my use?"

    Wu Zhi glanced at Xia Xuan, then asked: "Do you need to change your head?"

    "Haha, if you are willing, I won''t mind." Xia Xuan agreed.

    The second day, Xia Xuan and Wu Zhi went to the classroom early, and each of them took out a book to chat for close to an hour.

    It was unknown when, but a black light flashed and Su Bing suddenly appeared, with a thick file placed in front of him.

    "As expected of the son of the leader of the biggest intelligence organization in the Five Great Empires, Su Lie." Xia Xuan said as he looked at the file.

    Su Bing did not speak, he found his seat and sat down quietly.

    Very quickly, white-robed man suddenly appeared in the classroom, and Wang Hao quickly followed.

    "Gather at the back of the mountain." With that, the white-robed man left the classroom with Wang Hao.

    "Forbidden area? Is this teacher crazy? " There was an uproar in the classroom. The back mountain of Jinxing Mountain was a place of death, with dozens of people entering it, but not a single person returned. Afterwards, several teachers entered, but none returned, which was why the students were so shocked when they heard that they were going to the forbidden area.

    In the rear mountain forbidden grounds, Xia Xuan and many students stood together on a field of grass. In front of them was a gloomy and sinister Forest.

    "Hong!" Suddenly, somewhere in the Forest, there was an explosion. The thick smoke drifted in the air, scaring all the students quite a bit.

    "I''ll give you a chance to choose whether you want to take the test or not." white-robed man glanced at the students and said. Silence filled the air. The students looked at each other, but no one said anything. white-robed man just looked at them.

    Unknowingly, a slightly thin student raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I want to withdraw." white-robed man nodded, the student looked at his surroundings, lowered his head and ran away.

    "Is there anyone else who wants to quit?" The white-robed man said again.

    "Teacher." With that person leading the way, quite a few people raised their hands.

    white-robed man nodded again. After the students left, white-robed man counted the number of people left behind and discovered that there was a third of the students that left.

    "Anything that can stay is good." white-robed man looked at the students that were left behind and nodded, then said: "Introduce yourselves, I am Shangguan Zelong. In front of you all is the Jin Xing forbidden grounds, called a land of death, but you all do not need to worry, I will be in charge of protecting you all. Today, I will lead you all to conquer this land, and set off."

    Chapter 6 - Monster King Extermination

    The enormous Forest was originally quiet, but as a group of students barged in, it became lively.

    Xia Xuan and the other two suddenly stopped in their tracks, looked at each other, only to see Xia Xuan and Wu Zhi disappearing in a flash. Not long after Xia Xuan and the other two left, many figures emerged from hiding places. It was clear that these people wanted to rely on Xia Xuan.

    In a corner of Forest, Xia Xuan and the others were lying on top of a tree. They were looking into the distance, trying to see the layout of the entire Forest.

    Suddenly, a gigantic beast roar came from somewhere in Forest. A 20 metre tall Giant Demon Ape faced the sky and roared. Beside him, half a man, half a leopard, was crazily tearing and biting at the giant ape.

    "Crap, something happened." Seeing that, Xia Xuan anxiously said. Then, his figure flashed as he rushed towards the direction of the giant ape. Su Bing and Wu Zhi looked at each other, then chased after Xia Xuan.

    The giant ape roared to the sky, then stared at the leopard girl in anger and struck towards her with its palm. However, the leopard girl''s speed was extremely fast. She dodged the palm strike in a flash. Dodging the giant ape''s palm, the leopard girl madly bit at the giant ape''s body, wishing that she could directly make a hole in it.

    The giant ape s were blood-red after being heavily scratched by the leopard girl. The force from their entire bodies shook, and actually forcefully sent the leopard girl flying. After blowing away the leopard girl, the giant ape turned around and pulled up a huge tree that was over ten meters tall. After sweeping across the tree, it waved towards the leopard girl. The leopard girl had just regained her footing when she saw the huge tree flying towards her.

    However, the leopard girl was not flustered. All the hair on her body changed color, and her body changed drastically. In just a moment, she had turned into a half lion, half human lion. The sphinx blocked the attack and tried to block the tree.

    As soon as the sphinx touched the giant tree, it drew a line dozens of meters long on the ground. In the end, the sphinx was unable to withstand the impact from the giant tree and was forced to retreat from its transformation to become a petite girl. The girl was sent flying into a dense forest. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely die.

    Seeing this situation, the giant ape roared towards the sky again, her fists continuously hitting her chest, as though she was announcing her victory.

    "You stupid monkey, why are you so happy? The real opponent just arrived." Suddenly, a mocking laughter came out, only to see Xia Xuan standing on an empty ground, with his arms crossed, looking at the giant ape playfully. Behind him, Wu Zhi and Su Bing stood upright, while the girl who had long been unconscious was carried by Su Bing.

    Seeing Xia Xuan and the other two, the giant ape squinted its eyes and roared at Xia Xuan and the other two.

    "You have been making a ruckus all day, I will cripple you today." After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and charged towards the giant ape. And in the process of charging forward, the Seven Star light sphere condensed once again, encircling once more into a circle of high speed rotation, and once again transformed into a bunch of sharp Weapons. When the giant ape saw Xia Xuan rushing towards it, it threw a punch towards Xia Xuan, but two "Xia Xuan" suddenly appeared beside Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan and the two clones dodged the punch from the giant ape, and surrounded the giant ape from three different directions. Just as the giant ape wanted to randomly choose "Xia Xuan" to fight, it saw a ray of light flash past its eyes, and instantly, blood gushed out. One of its eyes was crippled just like that.

    The giant ape roared towards the sky once again after losing an eye, and the energy that exploded out made even Wu Zhi and Su Bing, who were in the distance, feel like they could not even stand. Carrying the force from the giant ape, Su Bing glanced at Xia Xuan, then became stupefied. Xia Xuan who was standing right next to the giant ape, whose clothes were slightly fluttering, was actually not affected by the giant ape in the slightest.

    "Who exactly is this guy? His strength is actually this terrifying." Su Bing thought.

    The three Xia Xuan s smiled and rushed towards the giant ape at the same time. Only when Xia Xuan managed to grab hold of the hair did the giant ape come back to its senses, and clawed at the two people named Xia Xuan fiercely. However, Xia Xuan ignored all of that, his hands formed a claw shape, and tore off three pieces of flesh. At this time, the giant ape caught hold of two Xia Xuan s, but those two Xia Xuan s turned into two wisps of white smoke and scattered away.

    The remaining Xia Xuan laid on the giant ape''s back, his hands forming claws, constantly tearing at the giant ape''s flesh. When the huge palm reached out to grab Xia Xuan once again, his figure flashed and appeared on top of the giant ape''s head. With a flash from his hands, a silver longsword appeared in a flash. Without any hesitation, Xia Xuan stabbed the longsword fiercely into the top of its head, causing it to wail in pain.

    Xia Xuan''s figure flashed again, appearing on the giant ape''s shoulder, another longsword appearing in his hand. Holding the longsword, Xia Xuan madly hacked at the giant ape''s neck. When the giant ape''s big hands caught it, he hid to another place, and then madly hacked again. In just a few minutes, the giant ape had become riddled with scars, and even the binocular had lost a lot of blood and looked lifeless.

    Suddenly, the giant ape stumbled and fell, but it eventually realized that something was wrong and turned around to run. Seeing that the giant ape was trying to escape, Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the seven floating planets fused into one, transforming into a silver white bow and arrow, and shot into Xia Xuan''s hands. With bow and arrow in hand, Xia Xuan faced the giant ape from afar and pulled the bow and arrow into a full moon shape. A white light streaked across the sky, and then a fist-sized hole appeared in the heart of the giant ape.

    Looking at the giant ape''s slowly falling body, Xia Xuan smiled slightly, the silver bow in her hand slowly dissipated.

    "The next step is to quietly wait for our prey." smiled as he returned to the front of Wu Zhi.

    Unknowingly, Xia Xuan who was sleeping on a few branches suddenly opened his eyes. He stared at the giant ape''s corpse in the distance and said: "Everyone pay attention, the prey is here."

    Not long after, the entire Forest trembled as dozens of gigantic vine began to wrap around the giant ape. In the depression in the ground, they only saw the giant ape''s corpse being slowly dragged into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

    Everyone could rely on absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate, but animals and plants could absorb spiritual energy s to become extremely strong. People called them spirit beast s and Spirit Trees, and there were two masters of this forest, the giant ape was known as the Beast King, and the other was a powerful Spirit Wood. This Spirit Wood often devoured strong spirit beast corpses. And if they wanted to pass the examination, they would have to defeat this spirit wood, because the mission that Shangguan Zelong had given them was to conquer the Forest.

    As the giant ape''s corpse was devoured, the Forest trembled and a huge tree rose from the ground. It was actually nearly thirty meters tall. The top of the tree was covered with silver flowers, blooming in all directions. He couldn''t help but think of the legendary Iron Tree Silver Flower. The name of this tree was the Tolling Wind Silver Tree. The branches were like vines, it could be soft, it could be hard, it could be hard, it could be used as a shield, it was extremely tough, it could be used as a whip, it was extremely tough, and it could grab anything 100 meters away.

    Looking at the silver tree that had sprung up from the ground, Xia Xuan smiled, a playful look in his eyes as he said with a voice filled with fighting intent: "Su Bing, the two of us will be the main attackers. Wu Zhi will command it, I will torture it to death today."

    Chapter 7 - Logging Kings

    As the Forest trembled, the wind chime silver tree was uprooted. Countless branches filled the sky and each time they were waved, they would destroy the surrounding trees or leave deep marks on the ground.

    "The Wind Bell Silver Tree that has devoured the giant ape has become much stronger. If we were to calculate the rank of our Homo sapiens, I''m afraid that it would already be on par with a Mystical King." Wu Zhi looked at the wind chime silver tree, his expression solemn, and said: "Can we really defeat it?"

    "If you want to be ordinary, then you must fear it. If you want to be extraordinary, then you must think of all things as invincible." With that said, Xia Xuan bent his legs and unhesitatingly rushed towards the Wind Bell Silver Tree. Su Bing and Wu Zhi looked at each other and felt helpless, so they could only give chase.

    Before they could even get close to the silver tree, dozens of vine waved their hands fiercely, stopping Xia Xuan and the rest in their tracks. Just as Xia Xuan and the rest were blocked, countless of silver flowers bloomed on top of the silver tree, and when the flowers fell, they were all sent flying towards Xia Xuan and the other two. Seeing the silver petals floating over, Wu Zhi quickly reminded: "Be careful, once you touch the wind chime silver tree, the petals will explode, and they will be extremely powerful, and you cannot be careless."

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan let out a cold snort. The seven planets once again appeared, and the seven stars merged into one, transforming into two silver light swords. Xia Xuan waved his hands, both swords flew out, cutting apart the petals at an extremely fast speed, and actually formed a sword wall.

    Looking at the sword wall, Su Bing could not help but think, "Is this guy really from the Homo sapiens?"

    "Follow me." Xia Xuan bellowed and rushed towards the silver tree, Su Bing and Wu Zhi followed suit.

    "Su Bing, you are fast, go attract the attention of the Wind Bell Silver Tree." Wu Zhi said.

    Su Bing''s figure flashed and appeared in front of the wind chime silver tree, and behind his, numerous afterimages were slowly dissipating. Seeing Su Bing coming closer, ten vine immediately wrapped around him. Seeing the vine entangling them, Su Bing quickly muttered something to himself. Then, his body turned into a shadow and merged into the ground. The moment the two names "Su Bing" stabilized his stance, he displayed extreme speed, and in a few blinks of an eye, he left behind countless afterimages.

    "Secret technique of the Su Family, Ghastly Shadow Duo Souls. The main body is in the shadows. The two clones are three times faster than the main body, but their attack power is greatly reduced. They are used to gather information." Xia Xuan explained to Wu Zhi. Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Wu Zhi was also extremely surprised, obviously he did not know about the Su Family''s secret methods.

    "Your Weapons is our Empire''s holy weapon right? I have long guessed your identity." Wu Zhi stared at Xia Xuan and said: "I need a powerful attack to break the roots. The strongest defensive power of the Wind Bell Silver Tree is to use vine as a wall, and I will attract all the vine over later, you just need to attack the roots."

    "Yes." Xia Xuan nodded, then with a wave of his hand, the seven planets condensed once again. With the fusion of the seven stars, they transformed into a silver pike this time, and the pike landed in Xia Xuan''s hands.

    Looking at the pike in his hand, Xia Xuan muttered, "It''s not enough yet." Xia Xuan bit his tongue, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the spear. The blood immediately spread, and the silver pike turned into blood. Once the blood red pike was formed, Wu Zhi immediately felt difficulty in breathing, and fear inexplicably rose in his heart. The Wind Bell Silver Tree in the distance also noticed Xia Xuan''s actions. Countless vine s intertwined and formed a wall.

    "Su Bing, come back quickly." Wu Zhi shouted to Su Bing. Hearing Wu Zhi''s shout, a shadow quickly flew from under the body of a "Su Bing" to stand in front of Wu Zhi. The shadow drilled out from the ground and transformed into Su Bing. Obviously, this was Su Bing''s real body.

    "No need to worry, just go ahead." With that said, Wu Zhi threw a green pill towards the Wind Bell Silver Tree. Seeing the green pill, the silver tree expanded all the vine like crazy to catch the pill. Just at this moment, the blood-colored pike streaked across the sky, leaving behind only a long trail of blood. As the roots broke, the leaves of the Tempest Silver Tree began to wither. In just half a minute, they had turned into a withered tree.

    "The Fruit of Wisdom can make all spirit trees lose their minds over it. It''s a great help." Xia Xuan smiled.

    "I don''t know anything about this, but you do." Wu Zhi looked at Xia Xuan in shock.

    "Do you believe that I''m God?" Xia Xuan laughed.

    "I believe you''re a ghost." Wu Zhi said snappily.

    Just as Xia Xuan wanted to say something, two black figures flashed past, and with a bang, Shangguan Zelong appeared beside Xia Xuan. Not far away, a scarred, middle-aged man was holding a large knife in his hands.

    "Just who are you?" The middle-aged man said resentfully.

    "You don''t deserve to know." After he finished speaking, Shangguan Zelong''s figure flashed and arrived in front of the middle-aged man. The snow-white feather in his hand appeared in a flash, and every time it came into contact with the middle-aged man''s large knife, it would make a sound like metal colliding.

    Countless cold lights flashed, and the middle-aged man was covered with injuries. In Shangguan Zelong''s hands, the middle-aged man had no way of fighting back.

    "Enough." Xia Xuan said as he returned to Xia Xuan''s side. He saw that there was no trace of blood on Shangguan Zelong''s body, and not even a single wrinkle. On the other hand, the middle-aged man''s body was not complete. Blood flowed out, and he looked like a man made of blood.

    "All of you, remember this." The middle-aged man spat out a few harsh words. He ran away as fast as he could.

    Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Xia Xuan said: "Teacher Shangguan, bring them back, I have some important matters to attend to."

    "Yes." Seeing Shangguan Zelong''s response, Xia Xuan''s killing intent soared to the heavens, but he did not move, only after about half a minute, Xia Xuan''s figure slowly disappeared, and Su Bing and the rest realized that it was just an afterimage of Xia Xuan.

    "This strength, is it really human?" Su Bing thought.

    "Let''s go. We''ll explain everything to you when he returns." Shangguan Zelong carried the unconscious girl and waved at Su Bing and the others before leading the way.

    Deep within the Forest, a middle-aged man who was riddled with scars held onto a large knife and ran towards the depths of the Forest like a madman. As he occasionally turned his head back, his eyes were filled with fear and terror.

    "Sinner Tie Gong, you have lurked in the Forest for many years to gather information. After three years, send all the information you have gathered to the Thousand Iron Country and the Iron Country, resulting in the rapid fall of our southeast side in Xing Bei Empire. You deserve to be punished for your crimes." His voice was filled with killing intent resounding throughout the Forest. As the middle aged man walked forward, Xia Xuan held onto his dual blades, the binocular revealed its killing intent.

    "Who, who are you? Why did you want to kill me? " The middle-aged man said while trembling.

    Without saying a word, one of Xia Xuan''s eyes turned red, he became like a different person, the dense killing intent made the middle aged man unable to move. Suddenly, with a flash of blood-red light, the middle-aged man was split into pieces.

    It was raining cats and dogs, Xia Xuan stood on top of a hill, looking at his home, he murmured: "My home, I will not let you destroy it."

    Chapter 8 - Non-Deathgod, Deicide (1)

    In the field of Jinxing Academy, Xia Xuan and the rest were standing quietly, while Shangguan Zelong was looking serious. Beside him, Wang Hao was standing with his face full of dust, looking gloomy.

    "The biggest goal of this exam is actually to catch the empire''s felon, Tie Gong. I''m very sorry, but I have no choice but to use everyone as bait." Shangguan Zelong said: "But the exam is not fake, those who fail will be eliminated, and Wang Hao was not long after he entered the Forest, he was knocked out by Tie Gong, being demoted to a lower class punishment, thus, the ones who can stay will be Xia Xuan, Wu Zhi, Su Bing, Wang Hao, Mo Youxue, Mo Youxue. The others should go to the other classes. "Dismissed."

    The field was in an uproar, but Shangguan Zelong ignored them and directly left the field with Xia Xuan and the rest.

    "Where is Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue?" Xia Xuan suddenly asked.

    "Mo Youxue was knocked out by the Beast King, and is currently recuperating at Tianyu Medical Center. As her older sister, Mo Youxue is currently taking care of her." Shangguan Zelong said respectfully.

    Seeing Shangguan Zelong''s attitude towards Xia Xuan, Wang Hao and the other two were immediately shocked. They thought to themselves, "Just where did Xia Xuan come from?"

    Not long after, Xia Xuan and the rest arrived at a clinic called Tianyu. There were many people entering and exiting, all of them extremely busy.

    Just as they entered the infirmary, a young man carrying an old man rushed into the infirmary. Xia Xuan and the others were knocked away by him.

    After being pushed aside by the young man, Wang Hao was immediately infuriated, and chased after the young man.

    Xia Xuan used his hand to stop Wang Hao. He looked at the confused Wang Hao and smiled, then shook his head.

    Seeing Xia Xuan blocking him, Wang Hao sighed, then shook his head, ignoring the young man.

    "Young Master Xia is indeed magnanimous. This little girl truly admires him." A coquettish voice sounded as a woman in a blue qipao slowly walked down from the second floor of the infirmary. The girl appeared to be around twenty years old. The snow-white legs that he occasionally revealed under the qipao could always attract countless drooling gazes.

    Arriving in front of the blue-clothed woman, Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Qing Lian." It was unknown when, but Wu Zhi was already standing silently behind the blue clothed woman.

    Hearing Xia Xuan call his senior, the lady called Qing Lian could not help but frown. He said unhappily: "How many times have I said it? With that, he turned and walked to the second floor.

    Looking at the departing back of Qing Lian, Xia Xuan could not help but feel helpless. When he thought about Qinglian''s true age, he was truly unable to say the word "big sister".

    Qing Lian was known as the Medical Saint in the Five Great Kingdoms, whose medical skills could not be compared with others. His real age was already sixty years old, but with his outstanding medical skills, he managed to maintain his appearance of twenty years old.

    Following Qing Lian into a sickroom, they saw the young lady who had been knocked unconscious by the giant ape lying on the bed, while a young lady who looked similar to his was talking and laughing with his, upon seeing Xia Xuan and the others enter, the two girls immediately stopped talking and laughing. Entering the room, Xia Xuan and the rest found a seat and sat down, then said: "Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue, the two sisters, are born with the power to transform into a beast and control trees, they are the Yin and Yang bodies of the God of All Things, my left guard."

    "What do you mean?" the girl called Mo Haoxue asked.

    I am the reincarnation of the Deicide, and everyone here is my companion in my previous life. However, the Celestial King viewed me as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and gave me an unwarranted crime. Fortunately, I had left behind a bit of the soul, so I was able to reincarnate. Xia Xuan said in all seriousness, "Three years later, the Thousand and Iron Country will ally themselves and attack my Xing Bei Empire. Only I will survive in the entire Empire, so my seventh companion, the God of Time, will help me reverse the flow of time. Here, I, Xia Xuan plead for you to join the Shadow Squad, one of the organizations under the protection of our Empire. " As he said that, Xia Xuan stood up straight and bowed to everyone present.

    "Brother Xia, why are you being so polite with me? With your current strength, no matter if it''s your previous life or your current life, you''ll still be a brother." Wang Hao patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder and laughed.

    "This is an opportunity for me." Wu Zhi said.

    "My sister met with the giant ape, you were the ones who saved her, so let''s just treat it as repaying your gratitude," Mo Haoxue said.

    Chapter 9 - Non-Deathgod, Deicide (2)

    "Thank you very much. I believe that with you all here, our empire will eventually be at peace." Xia Xuan bowed deeply again and said, "Shangguan Fei''er and I will go deal with some matters now. Once Mo Youxue''s injuries have healed, we will have a round of practice." With that, Xia Xuan and Shangguan Zelong disappeared.

    "Everyone, if Mo Youxue is also the God of All Things, then is there another God that we have never seen before?" Wu Zhi suddenly said. This caused everyone to ponder deeply.

    In the Northwest Great Desert of Xing Bei Empire, a group of merchants wrapped in thick cloth led a group of camels forward with difficulty.

    Yellow Sand City Lord Bi Tong, three years later, working with the Ten Thousand Iron Country, caused the fall of our west, forcing the entire country to retreat to the north. Later on, due to the cold weather in the north, food shortages and the loss of millions of Soldiers s, such a heinous crime is punishable by death. " A voice filled with killing intent spread out, causing sand to fly everywhere.

    "Who is it? Come out! Don''t play tricks on me!" The leading man in the caravan, Bi Tong, shouted to the surrounding people.

    Yellow sand flew in the air as two figures slowly walked out from the desert. One of them wore a white robe, and even though he was in the desert, there wasn''t a speck of dust on his face. The other person was small and skinny. Wearing cloth clothes, he did not seem to have any spiritual energy''s aura on his body. All he had was a monstrous aura of killing intent and hatred.

    "Who are you people?" Bi Tong glared at the two of them fiercely and said, "I am the master of Yellow Sand City, what are you guys planning to do?"

    "Slaughter him." Xia Xuan stared at Bi Tong with eyes filled with hatred, as his cold voice sounded. A white silhouette flashed by, its feathers fluttering as it tried to fly towards the caravan.

    "Set up the formation." Bi Tong shouted loudly, and all the people in the caravan immediately released a powerful Qi, because this caravan was actually filled with profound masters, and Bi Tong was even a Mystical King Ranker. Everyone''s Qi shook, and a light shield formed. As the feathers collided, they released ripples.

    In this stretch of Mainland, the ranks of the Homo sapiens are divided into profound practitioners, profound masters, Mystical King s, Xuanhuang, Xuanzun, Mysterious Sect, Mysterious Sect, and Profound Master. The first stage of Qi Cultivator was divided into nine stages, which were then followed by the warriors. When the warriors opened the four gates, they became Profound Practitioners, and only after becoming a Profound Practitioners could one be considered to be an official Qi Cultivator, while Monarch Xia Cha had a third stage Xuanzun.

    "Having such strength and not being loyal to the country, isn''t that a crime as well?" After saying that, Xia Xuan clenched his fist, and the blood aura condensed into a gigantic hand that was around thirty meters long, and with a clench of his gigantic hand, it exploded the light shield. After crushing the light shield, the remaining power of the gigantic hand did not diminish as it went to capture the merchant group. In the entire merchant group, only Bi Tong reacted quickly and dodged in time.

    "You, who exactly are you people?" Bi Tong looked at the place where he was standing before, and then looked at Xia Xuan and Shangguan Zelong who were standing far away, he could not help but swallow his saliva, and continued to speak as he retreated.

    Xia Xuan did not reply. One of his eyes had already turned blood-red, and the blood like spiritual energy began to emit outwards, condensing into a red pike in his hand.

    "Die, god of death." Bi Tong was so scared that he almost fell to the ground, his face full of fear. The desire to live came and he ran away without looking back.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan let out a cold snort, holding onto the pike, he transformed into a streak of blood and flew across the sky. Standing beside Bi Tong''s corpse, he looked down at his with cold eyes, and said without any emotion: "It''s not Death God, it''s Deicide."

    Chapter 10 - Competition

    Xia Xuan and the rest stood quietly within the Xing Bei Empire''s royal martial arena. Normally, the stage would be bustling with noise and excitement, but today, it was temporarily suspended because of Xia Xuan and the others. Regarding this, Wang Hao and the others were also very surprised, and after thinking about it for a moment, they also guessed Xia Xuan''s identity.

    Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue stood in a row, facing each other.

    "None of you are ordinary people. All of you have soul in your bodies." Xia Xuan''s expression was solemn, "In three years time, the Ten Thousand and Iron Country will invade. If we want to protect our homeland, the only way is to awaken soul s. As the first step towards awakening soul s, is to defeat me together. With that said, Xia Xuan''s entire body shook, and the blood red spiritual energy appeared, and in a moment it had turned into the blood red armor and the blood red pike.

    The current Xia Xuan was exceptionally strong, and with the strength of Wu Zhi and the rest, they were already unable to see the difference in realm.

    Just as Wu Zhi and the others were shocked, a huge golden door appeared behind Xia Xuan, releasing a large amount of light from the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise pattern on the door, scaring Wu Zhi and the others into staggering. They did not expect Xia Xuan to have been hiding his strength for so long.

    The door behind Xia Xuan was known as the Four Symbols Sect, it originated from within one''s body. A warrior who opened the Four Symbols Gate would become a profound practitioner, and only those who become a profound practitioner would be considered to be true practitioners. The Four Symbols Sect, on the other hand, represented a person''s Inherent Skill. A person like Xia Xuan who had never appeared in the five great nations with all four images.

    Without saying a word, Wu Zhi raised his fist and rushed towards Xia Xuan. But before he could even take a few steps, Xia Xuan grabbed him in the distance as a giant blood colored hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed onto Wang Hao, preventing him from moving.

    Just as Wu Zhi was struggling with all his might, Su Bing suddenly appeared from within Xia Xuan''s shadow.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan snorted, he fiercely stomped his foot, and the huge force that came out knocked Su Bing out of the shadow. After knocking Su Bing out, Xia Xuan clenched his hands behind his back and another huge blood colored hand appeared, about to grab Su Bing.

    Before the big blood hand could grab Su Bing, countless vine appeared from the ground and dragged Su Bing away with lightning speed. At the same time, Mo Youxue once again transformed into the leopard girl and displayed her maximum speed. In the blink of an eye, she was already beside Xia Xuan.

    Mo Youxue, who had come to Xia Xuan''s side, wanted to swipe her claw at Xia Xuan, but before she could do so, a blood-colored light shield had already enveloped Xia Xuan. Seeing that the light shield had appeared, Mo Haoxue once again controlled the vine to pull Mo Youxue back to his side.

    Hundreds of thousands of feathers ruthlessly struck the light shield, and with a bang, cracks spread throughout the light shield like a spider web. Finally, the sound of glass shattering resounded and the light shield shattered into countless pieces. Having lost the light shield, countless feathers hit Xia Xuan hard, causing dust to fly all over the sky.

    After an unknown period of time, the feathers had all been used up and the dust had dispersed. On the stage of the competition, Wu Zhi and the rest were staring at the place where the dust was dissipating. The dust finally dissipated, but Xia Xuan was still standing, the blood red armor on his body was glowing with a red light. Evidently, Shangguan Zelong''s attack was unable to break Xia Xuan''s armor.

    "Is it useless?" Shangguan Zelong muttered.

    "No, Wang Hao has been rescued, and we don''t have much energy left." Wu Zhi reminded.

    Wang Hao, who had been rescued at an unknown time, patted his clothes and said: "We can use that plan now."

    Wu Zhi nodded, then the six of them looked at each other. This time, Wang Hao stood up again. He was still dressed in the crimson colored armor, but he did not rush towards Xia Xuan. Instead, he maintained a posture of preparing to punch.

    Mo Haoxue who was at the side clenched her fist at Wang Hao, and countless vine appeared from the ground, wrapping Wang Hao up tightly in three layers. In the end, Wang Hao was wrapped up into a six to seven meter tall treeman. Only his head was still exposed, but looking at his painful expression, it was obvious that he could not support this kind of size.

    At the same time, Mo Youxue and Su Bing rushed out at the same time, and continued to attack Xia Xuan by his side, relying on their own speed to attack Xia Xuan constantly, to prevent Xia Xuan from disturbing them.

    Shangguan Zelong pointed his fingers at Wang Hao, and the spiritual energy started to flow into his body. With the influx of the spiritual energy, Wang Hao''s expression was no longer in pain. At this time, Wang Hao appeared to be incomparably mysterious and mighty, like a fist could split a mountain.

    With the support of Shangguan Zelong, Wang Hao jumped dozens of meters into the air with a proud smile on his face. He raised his huge fists high into the air, and was about to smash them onto Xia Xuan.

    At this time, Xia Xuan was entangled with Mo Youxue, so he could not make a move to deal with Wang Hao. In the end, Su Bing and Mo Youxue''s figures flashed and dodged, but Wang Hao smashed down firmly.

    Following a loud bang, Xia Xuan dropped to one knee, both his hands resisting Wang Hao''s punches tenaciously, while the floor beneath his knees shattered into pieces.

    Seeing that his attacks had no effect, Wang Hao immediately retracted his fists, and then punched towards Xia Xuan. At this time, Xia Xuan had no time to dodge, he could only maintain his defensive stance and continue to resist.

    "The Wang Family''s Raging Fist Technique is the only secret technique that gives us the chance to defeat Xia Xuan." Wu Zhi said.

    Punches after punches, one heavy punch after another, smashed towards Xia Xuan. However, Xia Xuan''s body didn''t show any signs of collapsing, as the cracks on his knees continued to spread like a spider web. When the ninth punch came, before the fist could land, countless cracks had already appeared on the vine. Obviously, the vine was unable to withstand the power of the ninth punch.

    boom * A huge sound rang out and the entire fighting stage shattered and collapsed. The power of that punch was extremely terrifying.

    Everyone was staring at the collapsed competition stage, they saw that Xia Xuan was still maintaining his defensive position, while the vine on Wang Hao''s body had already broken into pieces and fell onto the ground.

    The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, and said: "Are there any other moves?"

    "Humph!" Wu Zhi snorted, countless green leaves suddenly appearing on Xia Xuan''s body, and after the green leaves appeared, they quickly grew into vine s as thick as an arm, wrapping Xia Xuan tightly.

    "As long as I control the vine, you will immediately turn into minced meat." Mo Haoxue said, "You lost."

    "I''ve said it before, the Raging Fist Technique only gave us a chance to defeat you. The vine on Wang Hao''s body had mixed with my plant seed, and now we''re seizing the opportunity." Wu Zhi said.

    Just as he finished speaking, Xia Xuan turned into a cloud of white smoke and dispersed.

    Shangguan Zelong was the first to react and immediately said, "Not good." Then, everyone turned to look at a corner of the stage, only to see Xia Xuan crossing his legs, looking at Shangguan Zelong with a playful expression, and said: "Not bad, you can defeat my clone, but tomorrow you have to prepare to fight my real body."

    Chapter 11 - Conference of the Five

    The Myriad Sword Mountain was a bustling region located at the border of the five great nations. No country would manage this region, so the Myriad Sword Mountain became an unmanaged region. Here, there was no specific status or power, only power. And this would often give people a chance to test themselves and stimulate their potential. Most experts would also come from the Myriad Sword Mountain.

    But no matter how chaotic the Myriad Sword Mountain was, it would become very orderly today. There was only one reason for that, and that was that the Monarch of the five great nations would gather here for the conference of the five nations.

    In the City of Ten Thousand Swords at the bottom of the Thousand Swords Mountain, the City of Ten Thousand Swords appeared to be extremely quiet today. The only place bustling with noise and excitement was the competition arena in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Countless people were gathered in the martial arts arena, and there were dozens of people competing in martial arts. Everyone was trying their best to defeat their opponent, and high up on the stage, five figures were quietly watching the match. These five were the Monarch of the Five Great Empires. Even though they did not say a word, they were capable of attracting countless gazes.

    As a region where the strong flourished, it was a chance for countless people to obtain power and influence. As long as one had a good performance on the martial arena, they could be chosen by the five nations and directly promoted to general. For many people, this was simply a matter of heaven''s fortune.

    "I heard that not long ago, Brother Xia set up a competition, but in the end he was defeated by a child. This is truly an interesting matter." A sickly man, who was dressed in white, with a pale face, said to Xia Cha sinisterly.

    "Hmph, that can only mean that our country has a generation of talented people." Xia Cha coldly snorted.

    "In other words, the Five Great Empires are ranked higher than your Xing Bei Empire." A man that looked like an iron tower said in a mocking tone.

    "In the future, this little girl will have to rely on Brother Xia." A well-dressed beautiful woman chuckled.

    The five nations were divided into Wulong, Xing Bei, Di Yue, Wan Hua and Tie Yan, with Wulong being the leader, followed by Xing Bei.

    The five nations formed an alliance with the aim of defending themselves against external enemies. But there is no such thing as an absolute alliance. The Five Great Powers also wanted to annex the other allies. As a result, the alliance of the five nations seemed strong, but in truth, it was extremely weak.

    "You''re going to miss the show." A handsome man said.

    Hearing the Wulong from the Wulong speak, everyone was curious, and all eyes immediately turned to the stage.

    At this moment, there was only one black clothed man standing on top of the many battling platforms. No matter who went up on stage to challenge, they would all be defeated in a single move.

    "This little brother''s strength is extraordinary. I wonder if you are willing to join any of the five great nations to become a great general?" Wulong stood up and said respectfully to Black Boy.

    "Today, I only wanted to prove myself." Xia Xuan saluted back to Wu Min, and then said to the Iron Abyss Monarch Tie Ge: "I wonder if Your Majesty Tie Ge is willing to fight?"

    Everyone looked at Tie Ge and then at Black Boy. Among the five nations, Tie Ge was second only to Wu Min in terms of strength. His strength had long reached the peak of the third stage Xuanzun.

    "Child, Tie Ge is extremely strong, please do not display your might for a moment." A voice suddenly appeared in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    "Thank you for your reminder, Martial King. I have my own plans." Black Boy said to Wu Min as he forced his voice to become a line.

    Hearing what Black Boy said, Wu Min was also very surprised. Not only was it because of the confidence in his words, but he was also able to make a sound transmission without anyone noticing. This proved just how strong he was. Wu Min had never discovered his true strength, which also proved that he was unfathomably deep.

    "Humph!" Tie Ge snorted coldly, his body appearing on the stage in a flash, his speed was not even close to his body.

    Seeing Tie Ge coming up the stage, Black Boy''s entire body of blood red spiritual energy leaked out, and in a moment, he had transformed into a body of blood red armor and blood red pike. This time, the blood red pike was especially thick, even its head was wrapped in the blood red helmet, as though it was deliberately trying to not let others see its appearance.

    Feeling the coercion from Black Boy''s body, Tie Ge was also very surprised, the strength released by Black Boy was actually not any weaker than his. At this time, Tie Ge also felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. A child possessing such strength, if he were to fight with it with all his might, he would probably be ridiculed by others.

    "Seeing that you''re still young, I''ll let you exchange three moves." Tie Ge said righteously with his hands behind his back.

    "How shameless, with my status as the Monarch, I can only exchange three moves with my child." One of the spectators suddenly said.

    Tie Ge stared at the man, the sharpness in his eyes and his own pressure immediately made the man fall to the ground.

    Xia Xuan remained silent as he raised his right hand and extended three fingers towards Tie Ge.

    "What do you mean?" Tie Ge asked.

    "If you allow me three strikes, I can take your life." Xia Xuan said.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Tie Ge was so angry that his face immediately flushed red. With a wave of his hand, a two meter long large knife appeared in his hands. The large knife laid horizontally in front of him, ready to defend at any time.

    "First move." The corner of Black Boy''s mouth raised slightly, the pike in his hands slowly raised up, countless blood colored spiritual energy condensed onto the spear body, the originally blood-red pike seemed like it was about to drip blood.

    Suddenly, a line of blood flew out, and instantly arrived in front of Tie Ge. The blood line struck the blade but did not make any loud noise, only seeing the large knife turning into a blood pike and then transforming into blood and flowing onto the ground.

    Seeing this scene, the five Monarch s were greatly shocked. They saw that the color of Xia Xuan''s pike did not decrease in the slightest, as if the previous blood vein was just a tiny bit of it overflowing.

    "The second move." The Black Boy said again. The pike in Black Boy''s hand transformed into a large knife. With large knife in hand, the Black Boy disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already behind Tie Ge. The large knife in his hands raised it up high, ready to strike.

    Before Tie Ge could react, the large knife had already hacked down. Tie Ge, who had no time to defend, could only use both of his hands to grab at it, but when his hands grabbed onto the large knife, he regretted it immediately. The blood-colored large knife instantly corroded the skin layer on Tie Ge''s hands. Out of instinct, Tie Ge retracted both of his hands, but the large knife continued to chop down, forcibly cutting a large wound on his chest.

    "The third move." Boys smiled again. The large knife in his hand transformed into a bow and arrow, and with a flash, it appeared in the sky. The blood bow in his hand formed a crescent moon, and all of the heaven and earth spiritual energy started to gather towards the blood arrow.

    When he released his fingers, blood arrows shot out instantly. When he arrived in front of Tie Ge, they were already split into hundreds of blood arrows. Each blood arrow gave off an astonishing aura, and the blood arrows gave off a suffocating feeling.

    Seeing the blood arrows shooting towards him, Tie Ge was no longer able to react. He looked at the blood arrows with fear.

    "Enough." With a loud shout, a hurricane surged over and forcibly blocked the hundreds of blood arrows.

    The sickly faced white-robed man appeared beside Tie Ge, who looked at him before looking at Xia Cha. With his intelligence, he had naturally guessed that the Boys was someone from the Xing Bei Empire.

    "I''m afraid there''s no need to continue today''s Five Kingdoms Grand Meeting. Since there are so many talents in the Xing Bei Empire, then our Wanhua Empire will just quietly wait for Xing Bei to achieve a good result in the Five Kingdoms Competition." With that said, white-robed man threw his sleeves and left the competition grounds with Tie Ge.

    As the leader of the Five Great Powers, the Wulong Empire''s national power far surpassed the Xing Bei Empire''s. Among the five great nations, the rest of the four nations'' Monarch s were all at the third stage of Xuanzun, while only Wu Min was considered to be the only one.

    In the Wulong Empire''s Martial Imperial City, countless of palaces were crawling on the ground like gigantic beasts. They were made of golden brick and jade and incomparably brilliant, and among the group of "Giant Beasts", there was an incomparably large palace. And right now, in front of the palace, Xia Xuan was dressed in black, and quietly standing there.

    Before long, countless Soldiers came over, all of them holding onto a pike, the pike released a cold aura as it pointed straight at Xia Xuan. Amongst these countless Soldiers, there were more than a dozen of the leaders, and even more of them had reached the Xuanhuang level. This power alone was not something that the other four countries could casually take out.

    The Soldiers quickly surrounded Xia Xuan. Although he looked like a little over ten years old, he was able to quietly enter the Imperial Palace and stand in front of the main hall for nearly an hour before being discovered by the patrolling soldiers. It would be too foolish to even think of him as a normal person in this situation.

    "Get out of the way." Two tall and sturdy men wearing silver armour charged into the crowd and stood behind Xia Xuan. These two were both seventh stage Mystical King and were originally the generals in charge of managing the entrance and exit of the Imperial Palace.

    "Insolent traitor, why aren''t you giving up on me?" When the two of them saw Xia Xuan, they were instantly enraged and shouted at the same time.

    Xia Xuan did not even look at the two, and laughed lightly, ignoring them.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s attitude, the two of them were angered to the point that their faces flushed red, and they shouted: "Insolent bastard!" The two of them held their swords, and aggressively rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    A bloody light flashed, and everyone pursed their lips in shock. A few dozen blood red short blade floated in the air, aiming straight for their vital points. No one could clearly see how Xia Xuan had done it. Regardless of whether it was the two great generals or the several Xuanhuang experts watching coldly from afar, they were no exception.

    "You traitor, you better think this through. Killing the Great General of the Palace is an enemy of the Empire." The older of the two said.

    Without saying anything, a blood-red hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the two of them. With a wave of his hand, he threw them several hundred meters away.

    An old man with snow-white hair and a face that was as wrinkled as the skin of a withered tree walked in front of the great hall.

    "What''s going on?" Old Man frowned and said as he looked at the two generals who had collapsed in the distance.

    "This person''s strength is extraordinary, and he''s still young. I believe he''s the one that suddenly disappeared after defeating Tie Ge at the Five Nation Conference." An older Xuanhuang elder respectfully replied.

    "Ignore him, he''s talking to Monarch right now." The Old Man said.

    Hearing what Old Man said, everyone turned to look at Xia Xuan, only to see his lips moving, it was most likely trying to force Xia Xuan into a corner.

    After about half a quarter of an hour, Wu Min slowly walked out of the great hall, and laughed loudly: "We truly admire little brother for having such a brain at such a young age."

    "I wonder if Your Majesty will agree to the alliance?" Xia Xuan said respectfully.

    "Ninth grade Xuanzun. This strength is not something that we can easily believe. I wonder if little brother can challenge the two of us by himself." Wu Min said.

    Xia Xuan''s hand stroked his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he gently nodded his head.

    Old Man looked at Xia Xuan in shock, obviously not expecting to test a child to see how deep they were. However, Old Man didn''t say much, and only nodded cautiously.

    After disbanding the Soldiers, Wu Min and the white-haired Old Man stood in front of Xia Xuan, their eyes filled with vigilance.

    Before condensing the blood colored armor, Xia Xuan''s hands condensed into a pair of blood colored wolf claws, and then disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Wu Min and Old Man.

    Wu Min just disappeared and then reacted. The spiritual energy in his hand congealed, and in the next moment it transformed into the longsword and the Scepter.

    The longsword and the Scepter struck the Blood Claw heavily, only to see Wu Min and Old Man being pushed back dozens of metres.

    "He really is powerful." Wu Min thought.

    Old Man and Wu Min looked at each other, and then the two lifted up their Weapons s, and the longsword and the Scepter danced in the same way, only that the ground started to tremble along with the longsword and the Scepter.

    Not long later, one after another six to seven metre tall stone men crawled out from the ground. Dozens of stone men roared at Xia Xuan, their gigantic roars actually lifting up the entire floor.

    Suddenly, the longsword and the Scepter pointed at Xia Xuan at the same time, only to see ten or so stone golems rushing towards Xia Xuan at the same time. Seeing the stone golem rushing towards him, the blood claws in Xia Xuan''s hands transformed into a blood claw that belonged to a pike. Holding onto the blood claw, Xia Xuan charged towards the stone golem like a valiant warrior that did not fear death.

    Entering the crowd of stones, Xia Xuan swept the pike in his hand across, and wherever the pike passed, the stone person was cut like tofu, with many deep marks.

    After a while, dozens of stone men were shattered, but soon ten more rushed over. Xia Xuan did not attempt to attack Wu Min and Old Man. Instead, he allowed them to create the stone men while he continuously shattered them.

    Xia Xuan did this not because he could not do it, but because he wanted to prove his strength. If he had only attacked the stone golem, and not Wu Min and Old Man, and had no strength left, then Wu Min and Old Man would naturally be able to prove his strength. Furthermore, Xia Xuan''s final goal was to allow Xing Bei to form an alliance with the Wulong. If he were to injure Wu Min and the Old Man, it would somewhat hinder the alliance.

    The usually calm Imperial Palace was now particularly lively. Countless stone men kept emerging from the ground, before they were smashed into pieces by a Teenage holding a blood colored pike.

    Time flew by and a huge mountain made of huge rocks appeared in front of the large hall. As soon as the stone golem climbed up the mountain, it would be smashed into pieces by Xia Xuan and then become a part of the mountain.

    Three days later, both Wu Min and Old Man had used up all their spirit power and were forced to stop, while Xia Xuan still stood at the top of the mountain with the pike in his hands.

    The great general who was originally prepared to see Xia Xuan make a fool of himself was already stunned. He looked at Xia Xuan''s blood-red eyes, as if he was looking at a Deicide.

    After leaving that note, Xia Xuan left the Wulong Empire silently.

    On the second day, Wulong and Monarch came to Xing Bei Empire. On the surface, it was an exchange between the alliance countries, but in reality, it was an alliance with the Xing Bei Empire.

    Chapter 13 - Star Seizer Auction

    No matter how many buildings there were in Star Seizer City, the Auction House that was called Star Seizer City would always be an existence at the Overlord level.

    Auction House was dozens of meters tall, as if wanting to let the heavens pick up stars. The moral of the star gathering was to view the stars in the sky as treasures, while the Auction would take the stars out and auction them. The Star Seizer Auction was truly worthy of its name. Every time the Star Seizer Auction auctioned something, there would be a peerless treasure on display, and people from all over the world would come to bid for it.

    The Star Seizer Auction that had not moved for many years suddenly opened today, and even obtained the support of the Wanhua Empire Royal Family.

    In the huge Star Seizer City, there was a large road that cut across the entire city, and its destination was the Star Seizer Auction.

    "I am honored that the Iron King is here." The Wanhua Empire Monarch Xu Qing greeted anxiously.

    Just as Tie Ge arrived, a row of horse carriages followed closely behind. The Queen of Di Yue, Shuo Ling, slowly walked down from the horse carriage.

    As the number one beauty of the Five Great Kingdoms, as well as the Queen of the Di Yue Kingdom, this kind of woman was revered by tens of thousands of people. Even these two Monarch s admired her a lot.

    "Brother Xu''s Auction is Brother Tie after all." She had a fan in her hand, covering half her face as she smiled coquettishly.

    "Haha, Sister Shuo, do you know that Wu Min has personally visited the Xing Bei Empire a few days ago? I think that their relationship must be even better." Xu Qing laughed.

    Hearing what Xu Qing said, Tie Ge and Shuo Ling looked far ahead in the direction of the north star and the Wulong. It was obvious that the three empires were wary of Xing Bei and the Wulong.

    Before long, the convoy of Xing Bei and Wulong arrived. Seeing that Xing Bei and Wulong were participating in the Auction at the same time, Xu Qing''s binocular narrowed its eyes. An empire with a strong, young genius, its potential was naturally extraordinary. Wan Hua, Tie Yan, and Di Yue had long since showed signs of joining forces, so it was not hard to imagine why Xing Bei and Wulong were united.

    Although he was wary, his face was still full of smiles. He hurried forward and said, "Brother Wu and Brother Xia''s relationship is really harmonious. We''re all envious of each other."

    Xia Cha frowned, obviously he did not expect Xu Qing to be so vigilant.

    "It''s just the two previous days'' visit to Xing Bei. How can it compare with the two brothers Wan Hua Iron Weir?" Wu Min said.

    Xu Qing chuckled and did not speak anymore. He brought the Four Great Monarch s along as he prepared to enter the Auction House, but when he prepared to leave, he caught a glimpse of a child dressed in black robe from the corner of his eyes. If Xia Xuan was an ordinary citizen of Xing Bei Empire, Xu Qing was very confident that he could poach him into the position of Wan Hua, but looking at the current situation, it was obvious that Xia Xuan had to be loyal to Xing Bei.

    Although he knew that he did not have much of a chance, Xu Qing still stepped forward and said: "I did not expect that little brother to come as well.

    Xia Xuan nodded, he did not reply and walked over to Xia Cha to talk.

    When Xu Qing received this treatment, he immediately clenched his teeth in anger. His entire body was trembling, and anyone could tell that Monarch was truly angry. Surprisingly, Xu Qing did not turn hostile. Instead, he smiled widely and said: "We are guests, let''s quickly enter the Auction House."

    Although Xu Qing had a smile on his face, Xia Xuan could still feel a hint of killing intent that had been restrained. However, Xia Xuan was not surprised at all, his mouth even had a smile, as though he was intentionally trying to anger Xu Qing.

    After entering the Auction House, even the Five Great Monarch s could not help but sigh inwardly. In terms of ranking in buildings, the Star Seizer Auction was definitely one of the top three places in the Five Great Empires.

    Nearly half of the Auction House''s spots were in the VIP rooms, and all the information about the Guest s in the VIP rooms were kept secret, because the treasures that the Star Seizer Auction was auctioning were definitely treasures. Although no one dared to openly steal the treasures in Star Seizer City, when everyone left Star Seizer City, the lights of the entire Auction were extinguished. Under the illumination of the lantern light, a person in his sixties said, "Hello, everyone. I am the President of Auction Gu Yan. I will be presiding over today''s Auction. I hope you do not mind."

    Auction was silent. No one replied him, and Old Man was not surprised in the slightest. He continued: "The first Auction that has been invited, the Divine Crown."

    As Gu Yan''s voice fell, a beautiful woman slowly brought a small cart to the auction stage. The cart was covered with a large red cloth. Although no one could see what was under the cloth, everyone''s eyes were filled with desire.

    Old Man raised his red cloth, and a palm-sized blue gem appeared before everyone''s eyes. The gem was rhombus-shaped, and its color was as deep as the sea. The dazzling light reflected off the gem as if it was the crown of a god.

    "The Divine Crown is known as the most beautiful and valuable jewel in the five kingdoms. I believe everyone knows about it." Gu Yan looked at the dazzling light reflected from the gem and nodded in satisfaction. "The starting price for the Divine Crown is five million gold coins. Each increase must be at least fifty thousand gold coins."

    The currency was divided into copper, silver, and gold coins. One gold coin was worth ten silver coins, and one silver coin was worth ten copper coins. One silver coin was enough for an ordinary family to live for a month, and five million gold coins was no small amount for anyone.

    The crowd was silent. No one bid, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward. But all of this was within the expectations of the Old Man. His smile faded slightly as he waited there quietly.

    Suddenly, the lights in one of the VIP rooms turned red, a voice came from the VIP room, "Five million and fifty thousand."

    "Five million and one hundred thousand." In another VIP lounge, the lights turned red as a voice sounded.

    Soon after, room after room lit up with red light. The price of the Divine Crown was raised to the price of 6,750,000 in just 10 minutes. For many people, this price was an astronomical figure that could let them enjoy and eat for their entire lives.

    "Congratulations No.167 for successfully bidding for the Divine Crown, and thanks for your support for Star Seizer. I, Gu Yan, am deeply grateful. " Gu Yan bowed towards all the VIP rooms.

    Chapter 14 - The Heart of the Six Gods

    "Next, let''s have the second Auction, the Book of Bloodbath." Gu Yan said.

    Hearing the four words "Book of Blood Splitting", Xia Xuan, who was in the VIP room, immediately became alert. After his fall in his previous life, many of the divine items were scattered around the world. The book on the Blood Kill was one of them.

    He saw another small cart being pushed onto the stage, with a book quietly lying on top of it. Other than a few blood-colored patterns on it, it was no different from any other ordinary book.

    "The book on the Blood Seal was obtained by a hunter by chance. Although we, the Auction, did not know about it and used all the methods in our possession, we were still unable to understand its uses. This also shows the mysteriousness of the book." Gu Yan continued, "The starting price for the Book of Blood Splitting is three million gold coins, and each increase must be no less than ten thousand gold coins."

    Silence fell upon the field once again, and the silence this time would last for an exceptionally long time. Even Gu Yan was no longer calm. A book that even the Star Seizer Auction s did not know of was no different from a stack of paper to most people. Spending three million to buy a stack of paper, no one would do such a foolish thing.

    Gu Yan sighed in his heart. Auction had long predicted that this would happen, but he still gave the book a try and decided to just take it out.

    "Three million five hundred thousand." Just as Gu Yan was about to announce the auction, a red light lit up in a VIP room. The one in the VIP room was none other than Xia Xuan.

    Everyone''s eyes were on the VIP room that was lit up by a red light. They clearly didn''t expect that someone would be willing to spend three million gold coins to buy a pile of paper.

    "Three million five hundred thousand." Another voice sounded and a red light lit up in another VIP room.

    Hearing this voice, Xia Xuan''s face darkened. He could naturally tell that the one bidding against him was none other than the Wanhua Empire''s Monarch, Xu Qing.

    "4 million." Xia Xuan took a deep breath, and cursed at Xu Qing countless of times in his heart, before gritting his teeth and shouting out this number.

    "Four million and ten thousand." Xu Qing''s voice sounded once again as the anger in his heart burned ten meters high. This Xu Qing was obviously going against him.

    "Four million five hundred thousand." Xia Xuan shouted again.

    "Little brother, you are too rich, I admit defeat." Xu Qing''s voice slowly rang out and the lights in the VIP room were extinguished. It was clear that he did not want to continue bidding.

    "Thank you guest number 77 for bidding on the book for four million five hundred thousand." Gu Yan said excitedly.

    "Next, the third Auction." Gu Yan said again.

    did not even look at the Auction for a while, he was not interested in the jewelry and paintings, and he did not lack martial arts technique s either. The mortal world''s martial arts technique had long ago entered his eyes. As a result, Xia Xuan was not interested in those Auction.

    "The last Auction is called the Heart of the Six Gods. It is said that it is the heart of the six Great God. Gu Yan said, "And this Auction is also the main reason for the Auction being convened this time."

    This time, it was a black box that was pushed onto the stage. A black dragon coiled on top of the box, and from time to time, the sound of a heartbeat could be heard from within the box.

    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard Gu Yan''s words. In this Mainland, the Human Realm was a region that the The Divine Realm ruled over. In everyone''s eyes, the Human Realm was a supreme existence.

    "The starting price of the Six God''s Heart is one hundred million gold coins. There is no limit to the amount you can offer." Gu Yan said.

    One hundred million gold coins was an astronomical amount for anyone. Even the royal family wouldn''t be able to easily take one hundred million gold coins out of it. To the richest men in the country, this was basically the best they could come up with.

    "One hundred fifty million gold coins." Xu Qing''s voice sounded out.

    It was clear that they did not expect Xu Qing to suddenly increase by fifty million gold coins. Like this, other than the richest men in the nations, the only other people who could compete with him were the Monarch s of the various countries, but the rich people in the countries obviously did not dare go against them. Thus, the only people who could still bid were the other Four Great Monarch s.

    "Three hundred million gold coins." The red light in private room number 77 lit up once again, and the bid that came out shocked everyone. Xia Cha, who was in private room number 34, felt a sharp pain in his heart.

    "I''m sorry, but 300 million gold coins is an astronomical figure. We hope you can prove that you can afford it." Gu Yan said as he bowed towards private room 77.

    Suddenly, light lit up in private room number 34, Xia Xuan''s slightly angry voice sounded out: "All of his expenses will be paid by my Xing Bei Empire."

    Everyone looked at room 34 and then at room 77. Obviously, they did not expect the VIP status in room 77 to be this high.

    At this time, a red light lit up from the three VIP rooms. Xu Qing''s voice sounded, "Wan Hua, Tie Yan and Di Yue, the three nations, a total of sixty thousand gold coins."

    Although Wan Hua, Tie Yan, and Di Yue''s relationship was usually very harmonious, it still hadn''t reached this level of open cooperation. Thus, after this incident, a bloody battle was unavoidable.

    The lights in private room seventy-seven were extinguished, causing a wave of laughter and sighs.

    "Congratulations to Wan Hua, Tie Yan, and Di Yue for winning the heart of the six gods." Gu Yan said loudly.

    After the successful auction of the Six God''s Heart, Gu Yan said a few words of thanks before announcing the end of the Auction.

    In the backstage of the auction, after Xia Xuan received the book, he met with Wan Hua, Tie Ge and Shuo Ling. Although the three of them had successfully bought the Six God''s Heart, they were not happy at all at the moment. This was because once they left Star Seizer City, the location of the treasures would depend on their own strength.

    "Congratulations to the three of you for successfully bidding for the Six God''s Heart." Xia Xuan stepped forward and greeted them.

    "Humph!" Xu Qing snorted, then walked away with Tie Ge and Shuo Ling.

    "I hope the three of you can successfully bring the treasure back to the imperial city. Otherwise, six hundred million gold coins would be like cutting meat." Xia Xuan mocked.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Xu Qing was so angry that his face immediately flushed red.

    Xu Qing thought in his heart: "I''ll be waiting for you. The heart of the six gods is destined to be mine."

    Chapter 15 - Treasure Seizing

    There was a Forest outside of Star Seizer City called Beastmaster Forest. There were tens of millions of different kinds of spirit beast, and they were all there. They were the largest and most dangerous of the five great nations, and even Mystical King s would find it difficult to protect themselves.

    In the originally quiet Forest, three figures slowly appeared. Looking at their cautious appearances, they were actually Wan Hua and the other two. The Monarch used a secret technique to sneak into the Forest in order to obtain a treasure. They acted like a thief and acted very carefully, if ordinary people saw this, they would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

    "Pfft." Suddenly, a burst of laughter uncontrollably sounded out, breaking the silence. Following that, many figures appeared from all over Forest. There were so many densely packed that it was not even possible to count how many people there were.

    "These bastards, it''s fine if they find out about our movements, but they''re even spreading news. I''m not done with them." After Tie Ge understood what Xu Qing meant, he immediately started cursing.

    "What do we do now?" Shore asked.

    Xu Qing glared at the surrounding figures fiercely, his back arched, as if he was a wild beast threatening his enemy. His clear eyes were already bloodshot, only to hear a word coming out from between his teeth, the words of a person who had nowhere to go ˇŞ ˇŞ "kill".

    Three great Monarch s rushed out at the same time, their sword and blade clashed against each other inside the Forest, and miserable screams continuously sounded as everyone''s eyes turned red from the battle.

    In one corner of the Forest, figures stood on top of a giant tree that was tens of meters tall. There were actually six Xuanzun experts watching the Treasure Seizing Battle from Xia Cha, Wu Min, Xia Xuan, State Advisor, and Black Crow white feather.

    "Little brother, this really is a good plan. This way, we can sit back and reap the rewards." Wu Min cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan.

    "When a person''s strength reaches an absolute level, the fisherman becomes the god of the game." Xia Xuan smiled, looking at the battlefield with eyes filled with the joy of revenge.

    After an unknown amount of time, the Forest returned to silence, the thick smell of blood permeating the air, attracting countless spirit beast.

    Xu Qing and the other two stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, breathing in the pungent air. Everyone''s body was covered in blood, especially Shuo Ling, who looked like the prettiest girl in all of the Five Great Kingdoms.

    "The three of you are truly capable. Not only are there experts from the five great countries, but there are also experts from other empires. However, they are unable to obtain even a single treasure from the three of you. This one truly admires you." Dressed in black robe clothing, Xia Xuan slowly walked in front of the three of them and clapped.

    "Boy, we have no enmity with you, so why must you make this matter impossible?" Tie Ge said as he grinded his teeth.

    "Pfft." Xia Xuan laughed, and his tone instantly turned cold. "Leave behind the treasures, I''ll spare your lives."

    "Hahaha, a child actually dares to spout nonsense at the three great Monarch s. Truly laughable." A laugh came from the Forest, where a gray-robed Old Man slowly appeared, holding a snake staff in his hand. His hair was half black and half white, his Qi showed that he was much stronger than Xu Qing and the rest.

    His name was Pu She, and he was known as the Devil Snake Staff Immortal. His strength had already reached the fifth level of Xuanzun, and he was an old official of the Taki Empire.

    Seeing Pu She, Xia Xuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth and actually smiled.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was not the least bit surprised and had instead laughed, Pu He was immediately shocked. Being vigilant to the point that he did not underestimate Xia Xuan, after some thought, he realized that he was still unable to see through Xia Xuan''s true strength.

    With a wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, a black box immediately flew out from Xu Qing''s body and landed in his hands.

    "The Six God''s Heart is mine to begin with, the three of you have colluded with the Chen Long Empire, Wu Min will bring people to punish you later." Xia Xuan said, "As for Pu She, three years later, she killed countless of our citizens, and even killed Black Crow white feather, her punishment is death."

    After he finished speaking, the blood colored pike in Xia Xuan''s hands instantly condensed together. With a tremble of his body, he arrived in front of Pu She, and the blood colored pike in his hands pointed straight at her face.

    Pu She was also greatly surprised by Xia Xuan''s strength. Completely relying on his instinctive reaction, the snake staff in his hand was horizontally in front of him, just nice enough to block the tip of the spear.

    Although the snake staff blocked the pike, the pike''s immense strength forced it to push the Pu Snake hundreds of meters away.

    BOOM! Following a loud bang, Pu She and Xia Xuan finally stopped in front of a tree. Pu She had her back against a tree, the snake staff in her hands already split into two, and the blood colored pike pierced the tree, but Pu She''s face still had a long trail of blood.

    Xia Xuan twisted the pike and the giant tree actually ruptured and rushed forward. The pike swept across, about to slash towards Pu She''s neck.

    Pu She''s eyes turned round and wide, the snake staff in her hand crossed each other, ready to block the pike.

    BOOM! Another huge explosion rang out and the Pu Snake had already been sent flying dozens of meters away. Its entire body was paralyzed on the ground and its two hands were already broken. The snake staff also disappeared without a trace. With great difficulty, he crawled up from the ground, the blood red binocular glared at Xia Xuan, and its entire person looked extremely sinister.

    Xia Xuan slowly raised the blood colored pike in his hand, as if he was going to attack again.

    "Let me go, the Chen Long Empire will not mistreat you." Old Man anxiously said as he retreated. The hatred in his eyes had long turned into fear.

    "Stupid." Xia Xuan sneered, and the blood colored pike in his hand suddenly swung out.

    The fear in Pu She''s eyes was intense to the extreme, she could not even resist, and watched as the pike flew towards her without being able to do anything.

    Following a streak of blood, Pu She''s body fell to the ground. This fifth stage Xuanzun expert actually could not even withstand three rounds of attacks from Xia Xuan.

    Standing next to Pu She''s corpse, the murderous intent in Xia Xuan''s eyes was so thick that it seemed real, and he thought to himself: "Chen Long Empire, there are still three years left, I want you two to have a taste of your country''s destruction."

    Chapter 16 - Peacock Restaurant

    Within the Chen Long Empire''s imperial city, a handsome man was sitting high up on the throne. Countless ministers stood quietly and one of them knelt on the ground and said, "Your majesty, Pu She''s lost."

    After hearing what the Minister said, everyone was greatly shocked. Only the man acted as if nothing had happened.

    The man thought for a moment and said, "Xing Bei and the Wulong are not as simple as we thought. Pass my order, cut off all contact with the Five Allies and I will advance to the Mysterious Sect in three years. It won''t be too late to destroy the Northern Wulong then, there''s no need to make unnecessary sacrifices now."

    Time flew by quickly, and unknowingly, a month had already passed. The heat from the Star Seizer Auction had yet to dissipate, but another wave of energy surged over, which was the annual Five Great Kingdoms Tournament. The Five Great Kingdoms'' Tournament would be conducted by the academies of the five nations. In the end, each nation would choose seven people, and the seven people would form a group to compete with each other. The final victor would become the leader of the five nations. The younger generation did not only represent a country''s potential; they also represented a country''s future. They also represented a country''s foundation, so the five great countries attached great importance to the younger generation.

    The Xing Bei Empire''s competition arena was not in the capital city but was in a city called Ye Yan City. Ye Yan City was the second largest town in Xing Bei, and its size was almost the same as the capital city.

    In the center of Ye Yan City, there was a few hundred meters wide open air battling ground that looked like the mouth of a gigantic beast.

    After a month of training, Wang Hao and the rest had long since opened their Four Divisions Gate and became Profound Practitioners. During their training, everyone''s coordination and tacit understanding had become extremely good.

    "I''ll take you guys to enjoy it today." Xia Xuan squinted, his face facing the sun, the warm sunlight shining on his face made his mood very good.

    Xia Xuan brought Wang Hao and the others to a restaurant called the Sparrow Restaurant. The restaurant was over ten meters tall and behind the restaurant was a beautiful scenery. At this time, the downstairs was already packed with people, all of them eagerly waiting for the restaurant to open up.

    "The Peacock Restaurant is said to be the most famous restaurant in the Empire, including the Five Great Empires. There are no branches, only this one restaurant, and only receive ten Guest s every day. These ten Guest s are selected by the Tower Lord, and as long as they are not selected, none of them are allowed to enter. Xia Xuan looked at the restaurant and smiled.

    The doors to the restaurant slowly opened. Countless servants walked out and stood in two rows beside the door. Even though they were outside the restaurant, the fragrance of the food wafted over. Just by smelling it, one''s appetite was greatly boosted. One of the stewards stood at the door and shouted loudly: "The list of guests today are: Xia Xuan, Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue, Mo Haoxue." With that, that person turned around and walked back into the building.

    "Wait, it''s only seven people." Someone from the crowd shouted.

    "The Tower Lord has said that she will only receive these seven people today. As for the others, no one else is allowed to talk." the steward said impatiently.

    "I refuse to accept this! I''ve been lining up here since early in the morning! Why aren''t you letting me in?" A burly man rushed into the restaurant as he spoke.

    "Swish." A snow-white flexible sword flew out, chopping off the man''s hair. Then, it flew back into the restaurant. Following the return of the flexible sword, a lady dressed in white walked out of the restaurant with a flexible sword in her hand. She stared coldly at everyone present, and spoke with a voice that did not contain a hint of warmth, "Peacock was able to make Monarch follow the rules, it''s not because he was weak and powerless."

    The man collapsed to the ground in fright, his crotch completely drenched.

    Xia Xuan brought Wang Hao and the others to the white clothed female and then said: "Sister Yan, why is there such a huge difference between your temperament and yours?"

    Most of the people present understood the white clothed female very well. The white clothed female was called Huo Ling Yan, and was famous for being an ice beauty. If an ordinary person spoke to her in such a manner, they would have already been heavily injured by her sword.

    "Little brother Xia Xuan is so funny. Isn''t it necessary for me to work like this?" Huo Ling Yan unexpectedly smiled at Xia Xuan and said in a sweet tone.

    With that, Huo Ling Yan dragged Xia Xuan and walked into the restaurant.

    "What is this situation? The Ten Thousand Year Ice Mountain beauty is actually smiling?" Someone from the crowd shouted. Then, the people started to discuss Xia Xuan''s true identity.

    Entering the restaurant, Wang Hao and the rest were immediately shocked. The restaurant was filled with an ancient air, with various famous paintings and exquisite decorations, this was not something a normal restaurant could have. The thing that attracted Wang Hao and the others the most was the taste of the restaurant, which was filled with the smell of alcohol, but it was different from the other restaurants, the alcohol smell was extremely dense and perfect, it was neither pungent nor tasteless, with a single breath, it made people feel relaxed, their appetite increased, and with the atmosphere in the house, the difference between the restaurant and the restaurant became clear.

    Sitting on top of the restaurant, enjoying the beautiful scenery behind the building, matching the atmosphere inside the building, breathing in the intoxicating air, even Xia Xuan who was not visiting for the first time couldn''t help but be in a good mood.

    "What kind of wind brought Little Brother Xia Xuan to my little restaurant?" A loud laughter rang out and the restaurant trembled slightly. A fat man about eight feet tall and one foot wide walked over slowly. With every step the man took, the restaurant would shake. It was extremely shocking.

    "Tomorrow will be the opening of the competition. Since I have nothing better to do today, when I think of the delicacies in your little restaurant, I can''t wait any longer." Xia Xuan laughed.

    The surrounding servants and maids were all shocked when they heard Xia Xuan say that the restaurant''s dishes were snacks. Amongst the dozens of large empires, the only person who dared to say that the Peacock Restaurant''s dishes were delicacies in front of the OP was most likely Xia Xuan.

    "Then little brother, please enjoy yourself today. Otherwise, you won''t give me any face." The big sized man and Xia Xuan both laughed together, giving off the feeling that they were old friends.

    "Do you know who cooked these dishes?" Xia Xuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked very politely.

    Wang Hao and the rest looked at each other and shook their heads.

    "The Tower Lord''s son is the current Head Chef of the Peacock Restaurant and is also our team member tomorrow." The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly as he said very mysteriously.

    Chapter 17 - Millions of Courses Competition

    After tasting the Peacock Restaurant''s delicious food, Xia Xuan and the others left the Peacock Restaurant in satisfaction. This day could be said to be the day that Wang Hao and the others enjoyed the most, the impact of the taste buds filled their entire brains.

    On the second day, Xia Xuan and the rest arrived at the fighting grounds on time. At the moment, the fighting grounds was already packed with people, the conversation of the tens of thousands of people was deafening.

    Standing in the fighting arena, Xia Xuan took a deep breath and looked playfully at the seven people who were staring at him viciously from afar.

    "Why hasn''t that person arrived yet?" Wang Hao asked.

    "Of course the main character has to make the final appearance." Xia Xuan looked at the entrance of the competition grounds and smiled: "Aren''t you already here?"

    At the entrance of the martial arena, a young man slowly walked in. He wore a chef''s uniform, and he held a kitchen knife in his hand.

    Xia Xuan''s face was filled with black lines, he covered his face with one hand and did not know what to say, but he never expected that his friend would actually come to the competition grounds dressed like this. The man had a thick and honest face, and his body was slightly fat. However, if one looked carefully, they would see that his arm didn''t have any fat.

    The man smiled with a simple and honest face, but his bulging tendons and flesh didn''t seem like a simple and honest person at all.

    "I really admire you." Xia Xuan said, "Is the food ready?"

    "Of course." "Yes!" The man replied. Then, he waved his hand and a table and several dozen chairs appeared out of nowhere. Multicolored delicacies were placed on the table. The ring on the man''s hand was called the Spirit Storage Ring, it could store inanimate objects, it was extremely convenient, and was a very common object in Mainland.

    "Everyone, please sit down. Such a delicacy is not something that can be tasted often." Xia Xuan pulled Wang Hao and the others and sat down, staring at the food on the table, the Saliva was about to flow out.

    "There''s still a match." Wu Zhi reminded.

    Xia Xuan slapped his forehead, he then remembered that there were seven other people not far away that were eyeing him covetously, but he still remained seated, and showed no signs of getting up. Instead, he turned his head and said to the simple and honest man: "Seven people, don''t tell me you cannot handle him." After that, Xia Xuan picked up a bowl of food and took a bite.

    The simple and honest man smiled as he picked up his kitchen knife and walked towards the seven men.

    "Bro, you''re not messing around, right?" Wang Hao whispered into Xia Xuan''s ear.

    "His name is Li Le, he used his extremely strong blade technique to kill a bandit, but did not use any spiritual energy s. Furthermore, he was only nine years old at the time, so he probably has the strongest blade technique out of all the people I know." Xia Xuan smiled.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Wang Hao and the rest all looked towards Li Le, they never expected that this seemingly simple and honest man would actually be so fierce.

    Li Le came to the front of the seven, the kitchen knife in his hand flashed with a cold glint, and he said: "All of you attack together."

    They all thought that Li Le was here to cause trouble, but when they saw Xia Xuan and the others who were tasting the delicacies, they all felt extremely helpless. The seven of them looked at each other, nodded, and then rushed towards Li Le at the same time.

    Amongst the seven of them, one of them was especially fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Li Le, a short blade in his hands glowing with a cold light as he stabbed it towards Li Le''s chest.

    "Ping." With a soft sound, the short blade disappeared without a trace. No one knew what happened, all they could see was the cold glint of the kitchen knife in Li Le''s hand for a moment.

    Having lost his short blade, the man who was already in front of Li Le immediately turned around and in a flash, appeared behind Li Le. At the same time, one of the seven people holding onto a large knife, arrived in front of Li Le.

    The kitchen knife in Li Le''s hand flickered twice, and the man behind him flew back, as if he had been stabbed by a kitchen knife. The man holding the large knife did not feel anything, but when he cut down the large knife, he realized that Li Le did not have any injuries, and was just standing there safe and sound. Only then did the man realise that a large part of the large knife in his hand had broken off without him realizing, and the broken part was extremely ingenious, the broken large knife was coincidentally unable to touch Li Le, and the entire large knife swept past Li Le''s face and smashed onto the ground.

    The man looked at the broken large knife in his hands, and his eyes widened to the size of an egg. His large knife had cost him hundreds of gold coins, and was made of the best material on the market, and could be said to be as hard as mud. Usually, relying on this large knife could be said to be unstoppable, and then, Li Le could use a kitchen knife to hack it off a large chunk.

    Li Le moved his body, and instantly appeared in front of the man holding the large knife, and punched him in the stomach. The pain spread throughout his body, and he collapsed while clutching his stomach.

    Li Le squatted beside the man, took out a heavy bag from his storage ring, placed it beside him and said: "It''s not easy to obtain Black Tortoise Steel, and the cost of the knife is extremely high, just treat it as me losing 1000 gold coins."

    With that said, Li Le suddenly raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and two scimitar s coincidentally struck it, while two girls stood beside Li Le, taking the chance to circle behind Li Le and attack him.

    Seeing that their sneak attack had no effect, the two of them were immediately on high alert. After witnessing the fate of the two people before them, they no longer dared to look down on Li Le, and wanted to recall their scimitar and retreat.

    However, before the two of them could move, a cold light flashed from Li Le''s hand and the two of them flew back. They were the same as the previous person, only feeling as if a kitchen knife had fiercely stabbed into their stomachs.

    After seeing Li Le''s terrifying strength, they had already lost all will to fight. The Weapons in their hands pointed at Li Le, but they still kept on retreating.

    Li Le turned his head, and with a flash, he appeared in front of the three of them. The kitchen knife in his hand flashed thrice, and the three of them flew out just like the two women before, clutching their stomachs as they were unable to crawl back up.

    The entire battle ended very quickly, and no one could clearly see how Li Le did it. No one even saw Li Le use spiritual energy s, and just the speed of his blade being able to completely destroy seven people.

    Li Le returned to Xia Xuan''s side, found a place to sit and started to taste the delicacies he made.

    "I haven''t seen him for a few years, but I''m not going to be able to learn it. It''s time for me to grow." Xia Xuan laughed.

    Li Le laughed simply, he did not have the dignity of a Ranker from before.

    Chapter 18 - Chef and knife skills

    Shangguan Zelong and the others left the competition leisurely after tasting the delicacies, but when they saw Shangguan Zelong, they became extremely embarrassed. As the Principal of Jinxing City, he did not allow to participate in the competition, but seeing Shangguan Zelong today, who had tasted the delicacies of the Peacock Restaurant the previous day, was seen once again, but this time, he went from a customer to a spectator.

    Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue covered their mouths and laughed: "Teacher Shangguan, pay attention to your image."

    Shangguan Zelong wiped away the Saliva in his mouth and walked in front of Li Le, then placed a hand on his body as though he was a good brother, and whispered into his ear: "Li Le, you were my student before, how come I didn''t know that you had the speciality of cooking."

    Li Le laughed honestly, not knowing what to say.

    "As your former teacher, I strongly request that you cook another good meal tonight." Shangguan Zelong smiled charmingly, as if he was someone who would take a bribe.

    "Teacher Shangguan, pay attention to your image." Xia Xuan coughed and said.

    That night, within the Peacock Restaurant, Xia Xuan and the rest were seated on the tall buildings. The restaurants and the back of the buildings were filled with lights, and the sky was filled with stars and bright moon that illuminated the beautiful scenery.

    At the moment, there were no delicacies on the table, and a bowl of fine wine was placed in front of everyone. Li Le stood by a table, with all sorts of ingredients and utensils arranged neatly.

    "Peacock Restaurant''s Drunken Immortal Wine is made from the dew at 6 am in the morning in the pavilion, and from the colorful peach blossoms and thousands of other supplementary materials in the Peach Blossom Island. It has been specially made by the Peacock Restaurant and brewed for forty-nine days." Li Le said.

    As Wang Hao smelled the aroma of the wine, the Saliva could no longer hold on.

    "Uh, it''s for your rinsing your mouth." Li Le said awkwardly.

    "Cough, cough." Wang Hao coughed violently, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

    Li Le laughed honestly and retrieved a fresh fish from the ingredients. The kitchen knife in his hand streaked across the fish''s body and he threw the kitchen knife into a basin of dew, only to see the scales on the fish dissipating. Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan and the others couldn''t help but sigh secretly. It would be impossible to remove the scales so quickly just by relying on blade arts alone, it would still require a long term experience in cooking. With Li Le''s fifteen years of age, it was already not easy to do so.

    He did not rush to cut open the belly of the fish but instead cut off the tail and inserted a chopstick into the body of the fish. The chopstick stirred for a moment and then with a pull, all the internal organs were extracted from the belly of the fish. Throwing away the chopsticks, Li Le took out a new blade and cut off the head of the fish. The fish that was split open did not have much blood, and it was obvious that this was what Li Le had done. Normally, if a chef used this method to clean up the organs, there would definitely be a large amount of blood and residue, but the fish that Li Le broke open did not have any, other than the blood that was definitely there.

    Li Le placed the fish into a basin of dew. After a while, the basin of dew actually turned red, while the fish turned snow-white. No one knew what method Li Le used, but it had actually washed all the blood in the fish meat clean, and it would not destroy the integrity of the fish. He picked up the kitchen knife once more and slashed across the fish. The fish thorns flew out one by one. The fish thorns were not discarded. Instead, they flew into another bowl of clean dew. Every fish bone flew at the same angle, and there was not a single strand of fish meat on the fish bone. The crystal clear fish bones flew out one after another, just like a lively little fish leaping out of the water and diving into the water one after another.

    After a while, all the fish bones were picked out, leaving only a piece of fish. After arranging the fish, the kitchen knife cut the fish again and again along the marks of the fish spines. Very quickly, the fish was sliced into dozens of pieces, and each piece was of the same size without the slightest deviation.

    Placing the fish on the side, Li Le poured a bag of flour onto the mat, forming a circle with the flour, and then poured warm water into the circle. Pulling up his sleeves, Li Le kneaded the flour into a dough, and the dough rolled around in his hands as if it had a mind of its own. The dough that was finally placed on the pallet was actually like a real ball, it rolled around once on the pallet before stopping.

    Arriving in front of the water basin with the fish bones, Li Le extended his hand into the water. After a moment of stirring, the fish bones were out of the water and were almost completely transparent, to the point that they did not contain any impurities.

    He brought the fish bone next to the fish meat and stuck it into a piece of fish meat. Soon, there was a fish bone in each piece of fish meat. The fish bone did not pierce the fish meat completely, but instead, half of it was stuck in the fish bone, while the other half was exposed in the air.

    After doing all this, Li Le took out some dough, and also a rolling pin. The dough was flattened quickly, and with a swing of the kitchen knife, pieces of skin and a piece of fish were placed into the wok. After a while, he picked up another piece of dough and another piece of fish, and then another round. After approximately five minutes, all the fish and skin were in the oil pan, while Li Le took out a clip and occasionally filled the oil pan with food.

    Not long after, Li Le took out the food from the wok one by one. Every piece of fish was wrapped in noodles but there was nothing wrong with it.

    After spending a minute, Li Le placed the piece of fish onto a plate and placed it on the table. Everyone picked up a piece of fish and placed it into their mouths. When he first bit into the fish, it was not only the crispness of the flour, but also the tenderness of the fish. Not only that, there was even a crispy fish bone underneath the piece of fish. The bone shattered from a single bite, leaving no trace behind. Eating such a mouthful of fish, it was as if he was tasting the food made by a god.

    "As expected of the Peacock Restaurant''s chef, she is indeed extraordinary." Xia Xuan praised.

    "You guys take your time. There are still a lot of dishes left." After saying that, Li Le regretted saying that, because the entire dish had been swept clean.

    Feeling helpless, Li Le returned to the table where he cooked and started cooking again.

    When Li Le fed everyone present to their satisfaction, he couldn''t help but feel helpless. The ingredients he prepared had actually all been eaten by these people, he really had the impulse to curse in his heart.

    Chapter 19 - The Second Battle

    In the center of the fighting arena in Ye Yan City, Xia Xuan and the others had already arrived. The number of people on the martial field today was much higher than the previous day, because today''s match would be even more spectacular than the final match.

    The Xing Bei Empire Royal Family thought that Jin Xing''s performance the day before was too shocking, so they hoped that the Empire''s Royal Academy, Sky Phoenix Academy, would fight with Xing Bei. One was the previous champion of the Ten Thousand Court Great Assembly, and the other was the extremely powerful commoner academy. The battle between these two great academies basically decided who was the strongest in Northern Star Academy.

    In the participants lounge of the competition grounds, Xia Xuan and the rest had already changed their clothes and were waiting for the start of the competition.

    "Their opponents this time are extraordinary. They''re the champions of the previous Myriad Academy Competition. They have strength that''s worthy of our attention." Xia Xuan said to everyone, "I will not use the power of the Deicide in this competition, I will participate in it entirely with my own true strength."

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, everyone was extremely curious. All this while, Xia Xuan had only used the power of the Deicide, because the enemies he faced couldn''t be dealt with using his own strength.

    "Let me measure everyone''s strength." Wu Zhi came to Xia Xuan''s side and told everyone present: "Wang Hao, Su Bing are all ninth stage profound practitioners, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue are eighth stage profound practitioners, Li Le is ninth stage profound master, Xia Xuan''s true strength is ninth stage profound master, Teacher Shangguan is Profound King of the Fifth Rank."

    "What about you?" Wang Hao asked.

    "First stage Mystical King." Wu Zhi''s simple reply drew a burst of "pu" sounds, he never expected Wu Zhi''s strength to be so strong.

    "Because I was the God of Wisdom in my previous life, I have a very deep understanding of spiritual energy. My strength naturally has to improve faster." Wu Zhi scratched his head and laughed.

    "Let''s talk about the plan." Xia Xuan retracted his smile and said.

    Everyone gathered in a circle, while Wu Zhi talked nonstop.

    Not long after, a bell sound rang out, and the atmosphere in the martial arena instantly became heated up. This was a bell sound to let the contestants enter the arena, and once this sound was heard, the battle would begin. On the east side of the martial arena, seven youths dressed in gold-threaded robes lazily walked into the martial arena. These seven people were Participant of Heavenly Phoenix Academy, the previous champion of the Myriad Academy Competition.

    The seven of them had lazy looks on their faces, they did not care about the Jin Xing Academy at all. In their eyes, Jin Xing had won the first round purely because of Li Le, while the rest were just a bunch of new Jin Xing students.

    Before the wave of cheers for the Heavenly Phoenix had even subsided, another wave came attacking. Xia Xuan and the other three were dressed in blood-colored robes with strange patterns embroidered on them. He only heard the two words "Jin Xing" being shouted out, in the eyes of the spectators, Li Le was basically an unrivalled existence, while the others were his teammates, so naturally they were not weak.

    "The children on the other side, surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, don''t be beaten until you cry." A skinny guy with an explosive hairstyle shouted to Xia Xuan and the others.

    "His name is Hua Hou and he is known as the Sagamore. He is a First Rank Mysterious Master with decent strength. I will deal with him later." Wu Zhi whispered into Xia Xuan''s ear.

    "I don''t care as long as no one dies." Xia Xuan smiled and said, but with his words, he did not give any feeling of kindness or kindness.

    The two groups of people came to a halt twenty meters apart from each other. Looking at the leader of the group, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but shift his gaze away. Sky Phoenix''s leader was called Xia Hua, and he was fourteen years old, a fourth stage profound master. His father was Xia Cha''s older brother, and in terms of seniority, he was Xia Xuan''s older cousin.

    "Cousin, what do you mean by going to a commoner academy instead of Tianfeng Academy?" Xia Hua stared at Xia Xuan and said.

    "There''s no need for cousin to worry about that. Cousin only needs to know that I will lead Jinxing to become the champion of the Academy Competition." Xia Xuan replied.

    Listening to Xia Xuan and Xia Hua''s conversation, everyone could sense that they were being targeted. Xia Hua''s father was the First Prince and should have become the Monarch. However, Xia Cha''s outstanding strength had won him the position of Monarch, so he naturally held a grudge against Xia Cha and hence, had always been opposing Xia Hua.

    After the battle ended, the bell sounds came out, but Xia Xuan and the rest had no intention to attack, they were still talking among themselves, completely disregarding Sky Phoenix''s actions. Xia Hua was furious, and in a flash, he rushed towards Xia Xuan. The other six immediately followed.

    The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, underestimating his opponents on the battlefield was taboo, but the fact that Xia Hua and the others were so infuriated by the title of "previous champion of the Myriad Academy Competition", was actually a crime to both of them.

    With a flash, Xia Xuan rushed in front of Xia Hua, and with a powerful whipping kick, whipped him flying. Seeing that the leader was beaten up, Sagamore wanted to immediately rush forward to protect him, but Wu Zhi suddenly appeared in front of him, crushed a pill in his hand and scattered it all over Sagamore''s face.

    After coughing, Sagamore did not attack Wu Zhi. He looked at his teammates behind him and rubbed his eyes, then rushed towards tall and strong man who was in front of him.

    Just as Xia Hua crawled up from the ground, he saw the Sagamore and the man biting each other, while the other four people did not dare to move forward.

    Xia Xuan and the rest looked at the Sagamore that was flung at them with cold smiles on their faces.

    "As long as I can keep one breath, I will take all responsibility." Xia Xuan laughed.

    Wang Hao and the others clenched their fists and punched Sagamore ruthlessly.

    "Stop." Xia Hua shouted, and was about to rush forward, but before they could reach Xia Xuan and the rest, Xia Xuan and the rest had already released their Spirit Qi, causing the Spirit Qi of Xia Xuan, Li Le and Wu Zhi to immediately freeze up. As the leader, Xia Hua was only a fourth stage Spirit Master. But Xia Xuan was not only a ninth stage Spirit Master, Wu Zhi was also a first stage Mystical King.

    "Plop." Xia Hua was so scared that he kneeled to the ground, his eyes blurred.

    The entire audience was silent and everyone was stunned. The average ninth grade profound master had never appeared in the Ten Thousand Academies, but two of them had appeared today, and behind these two profound masters, there was a first grade Mystical King. Although it was only a first grade Mystical King, it was not something that a profound master could compare with.

    Three minutes later, it was unknown who reacted first, but the entire audience then shouted the two words "Jin Xing".

    Chapter 20 - Darts

    As expected, Jinxing Academy had won the Wanxiang Competition in Xing Bei, and was about to head to the Wulong Empire to participate in the Five Kingdoms'' Tournament.

    The weather was very good today. The sun in the sky was gently shining on the earth. It was neither too cold nor too hot. It gave people an impulse to lie down on chairs and eat their seeds, drink their fruit juice, and close their eyes and fall asleep.

    From when they ate breakfast in Peacock Restaurant, they had gathered downstairs. However, what awaited them was not the convoy, but a escort car.

    Wang Hao and the rest rubbed their eyes forcefully. After confirming that they did not see wrongly, they looked towards Xia Xuan who had jumped down from the escort car.

    "What''s going on?" Wang Hao looked up and down the escort car and asked curiously.

    "I''ve already disbanded the escort team. I''ve accepted a dart for all of you, just consider it an experiential learning." Xia Xuan smiled and said, "This time, Li Le, Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi and I will not make a move, you four will do it."

    "AHH!" Wang Hao exclaimed in shock. Even Su Bing was unable to keep silent as he walked over to the escort car and sized it up with Wang Hao.

    "Do you want to burn the car?" Wang Hao whispered into Su Bing''s ear.

    Su Bing pondered for a moment, and then nodded his head. He then felt a chill on his back, he didn''t know when, but Xia Xuan had already arrived behind them, and was looking at them sinisterly.

    "Bang bang." Xia Xuan and Su Bing suddenly had two big bags on their heads. Xia Xuan rubbed his fists and said, "Don''t not cherish this opportunity, just look at Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue and your sister and you don''t have anything to complain about." He turned his head to see that Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue had unknowingly arrived beside the escort car with a fire piston. Looking at Xia Xuan''s darkened face, he could not help but chuckle, followed by two more "bang" sounds.

    While walking on the road, Wang Hao and the other three would occasionally touch the big bump on their head, and then continue their journey with faces full of grievance.

    "Hey, don''t shout so loudly. It''s as if you haven''t eaten yet." Xia Xuan sat on the escort car s, eating dishes and drinking wine together with Wu Zhi and the other two, happily chatting.

    At this time, Wang Hao and the other three truly felt countless grievances in their hearts, and they did not know who to talk to.

    Very quickly, the escort car arrived at a canyon. The canyon was hundreds of meters tall and stretched as far as the eye could see. This canyon was called the Hundred Cliffs Valley, and was located at the border between the north and the Wulong. There were bandits entrenched in there all year round, and it could be said that robberies happened every day.

    After arriving at the Hundred Cliffs Valley, Wang Hao and the other three were immediately in high spirits. The Hundred Cliff Valley had a lot of bandits, and the two nations had sent troops to annihilate them many times, causing their reputation to spread far and wide. As long as they were not careful, they could lose their lives here.

    After walking around the Hundred Cliffs Valley for the entire day, the imagined robbers did not appear. However, the unusually quiet atmosphere made it difficult for people to relax their vigilance.

    In the middle of the night, after setting up the escort car, everyone gathered around a bonfire. Li Le was making supper for everyone.

    "What''s going on? No robbers appeared?" Wang Hao asked while eating the food that Li Le had just cooked.

    "There must be a reason behind all this. Be on high alert." Su Bing surveyed his surroundings, maintaining his vigilance at all times. Wang Hao did not speak further, and continued to eat the food in his hands.

    Deep into the night, everyone had fallen asleep. Only Su Bing was still watching by himself, and any movement in the surroundings could not escape his eyes. After Wang Hao finished peeing and returned, he sat down beside Su Bing. As he looked at the bonfire in front of him, he couldn''t help but think of his hometown; this was the first time he was so far from home.

    "Are you homesick?" Su Bing looked at Wang Hao''s eyes and said.

    "Yeah." Wang Hao sighed, then laid on top of a big rock, looking at the stars in the sky, his eyes blurred.

    Looking at the stars in the sky, Wang Hao was about to fall asleep. When he turned his head to look at Su Bing, he saw that Su Bing was swaying on the verge of collapse, yet he couldn''t react in time.

    After an unknown period of time, his consciousness gradually recovered. A wave of aching pain dared to spread throughout his body, and he didn''t know when his hands had been securely bound. When he opened his binocular''s eyes and looked around, he discovered that the scenery had changed.

    At the moment, Wang Hao was in a carriage, the heavy and heavy iron cage looked very sturdy. Su Bing, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were still unconscious. A Black Man was driving the carriage, and three other people were dressed in black, riding horses that were surrounding the carriage. Xia Xuan and the other three had long disappeared without a trace.

    Now that you have been captured by the bandits, Wu Zhi, Li Le, Shangguan Zelong, and I are all very safe. The escort car has already been sent to the bandit, and you guys are about to be sent back to Xing Bei. gangster will exchange you for ransom, think of a way to escape and take the escort car back. Xia Xuan''s voice sounded out in Wang Hao''s mind. It was obvious that Xia Xuan was trying to force them to speak.

    Wang Hao could not help but curse in his heart. He did not expect that Xia Xuan would not be of any help in this battle.

    Not long after, Su Bing and the other two woke up. When they saw their own situation, they were extremely surprised, but after a wave of voices resounded in their heads, they all calmed down.

    "The harvest this time is truly plentiful. One is the young master of the Su Family, one is the son of the Wang family, and there are also two princesses of the Snow Wind Empire. I wonder how many gold coins they can exchange for." A Black Man said.

    "Stupid, these people are not something that can be measured by gold coins. If we can succeed with this flesh ticket, I''m afraid we won''t need to be bandits anymore." Black Man who was walking behind the horse carriage said, "What are you doing?"

    Unknowingly, Wang Hao and the other three had untied the ropes in their hands, causing Mo Youxue to transform into an eagle, with her petite body, she crawled out of the cage, while Su Bing went into the shadows, and immediately came out of the cage. At the same time, Mo Youxue waved her hand, and countless vine s exploded out from the ground. They wrapped themselves around the horses'' legs, and directly tripped over the three horses that were surrounding the carriage.

    Taking advantage of the three people being tripped over, Su Bing quickly arrived beside one of the people. The spiritual energy converged into a broken blade, and used one blade to cut his throat, Mo Youxue flew to a hundred meters high with one of the Black Man in his mouth, releasing his claws and ignored it, while the other Black Man was entangled by countless of vine, until he suffocated to death.

    The Black Man who was driving the carriage was so frightened by this scene that he fell to the ground and crawled back. But before he could run far, Su Bing was already behind him with a short blade on his neck, he said coldly: "Bring us to your stronghold."

    Chapter 21 - Bandits

    The bandits of the Hundred Cliff Valley were like ox hairs, but one of the bandits took up a quarter of the entire area of the Valley, and that was the Black Mist Stronghold. The Black Mist Stronghold had a special characteristic, they never robbed people in the day, and only enchanted their targets at night. Since the establishment of the Black Mist Stronghold, there had never been a single casualty.

    On the contrary, not only would those who passed by their territory be robbed, even the other robbers would be scared of them if they were to meet them.

    On top of the canyon outside the Black Mist Stronghold, Wang Hao and the other three were lying on the ground, and all four of them had their heads stuck out towards the black fog mountain stronghold that was like a primordial beast. Behind the four of them, a Black Man was tied up with all kinds of things, and someone''s stinky socks were stuffed into his mouth, causing Black Man to have tears.

    Looking at the Black Man, Wang Hao and the other three snickered, they were extremely sinister.

    Not long after, the four Black Man s slowly walked towards the Black Mist Stronghold.

    Arriving at the main entrance of the mountain stronghold, one of the Black Man and one of the gatekeepers spoke a few words before smoothly bringing the other three people in. However, no one noticed that the eyes of the Black Man and the gatekeeper constantly twitched as they talked.

    "Failed?" The head of the hall, a man with a face like a demon god, said. This man was known as the fog knife, and no one knew his real name, they only knew that he was sinister and insidious, but he was someone who had never hurt his own mountain stronghold. The fog knife stared at the four of them and said with killing intent.

    "Come here." The fog knife pointed at the leading Black Man.

    Black Man walked to the side of the fog knife and kneeled down with a ''pu tong'' sound. The fog knife caressed Black Man''s head, the killing intent in his voice was dense to the point where it seemed to be real, and said: "Ever since my Black Mist Stronghold was established, no one has ever been killed by an outsider, the four of you actually killed three of my Black Mist Stronghold disciples, kill them for me." The fog knife suddenly stood up, pointed at Wang Hao and the other two and roared.

    Wang Hao and the other two immediately jumped up from the ground, looked at the people rushing towards them, fiercely gritted their teeth and rushed towards them.

    Seeing that Wang Hao and the other two were resisting, the fog knife snorted coldly, and revealed the Qi of a seventh stage Mystical King. Just then, Su Bing jumped out from the shadow, holding onto the spiritual energy that had transformed into a shield, blocking in front of Wang Hao.

    Mystical King was after all, a Mystical King. Even though Su Bing was not a normal profound practitioner, the difference in strength between the two was simply too great. The fog knife''s punch had actually sent both Su Bing and Su Bing flying out of the hall.

    After sending Wang Hao and Su Bing flying with a punch, the fog knife appeared in front of Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue again.

    The fog knife stood at the entrance of the Main Palace and roared: "Capture him!" Dozens of bandits held onto blades and spears, and rushed forward to grab Wang Hao and the other three.

    "Do you understand the importance of strength now?" Xia Xuan''s voice sounded out in Wang Hao''s mind.

    "Cut the crap. If you don''t act soon, we''re dead for sure." Wang Hao roared.

    Hearing Wang Hao''s roar, the fog knife was also greatly surprised. Looking around, although it did not see anyone suspicious, it thought that Wang Hao was just putting on an act.

    "I''ve said it before, all four of us will not act. This time''s test is for the four of you. If you have any trump cards, use them. I will act to protect the three of them." Xia Xuan said again.

    After hearing what Xia Xuan had to say, Wang Hao lowered his head and did not say a single word, not knowing what to do.

    "Cut off your hands and feet and hang them outside as an example to others." The fog knife said.

    "Tribe leader, look." A brawny man came over to the side of the fog knife and pointed at Wang Hao.

    Red spiritual energy kept appearing from Wang Hao''s body, and his entire body was trembling violently. The people who grabbed him would be burnt and hurt the moment they touched those red spiritual energy.

    Wang Hao raised his head. The binocular was blood-red, staring straight at the fog knife, all the veins on its body bulged, like a ferocious beast. Sensing that Wang Hao''s Profound Practitioners had actually instantly increased to the level of a Spirit Master, and then, his aura did not decrease at all, reaching the Mystical King Realm. Not only that, but the increase in its aura had not stopped yet.

    The fog knife was shocked, in just a short few breaths, Wang Hao''s Qi had already surpassed it, how could this not be surprising? However, he, who had been a stronghold master for many years, had always been calm when it came to handling matters. With a flash, he appeared in front of Wang Hao, gathered the spiritual energy in his hands, and smashed it towards Wang Hao.

    "Ah ˇŞ ˇŞ" Wang Hao fiercely roared, his aura instantly reaching the Xuanhuang level, and the terrifying force instantly sent the fog knife flying.

    Just as he steadied himself, the fog knife anxiously looked towards Wang Hao, but it did not see him, and even Su Bing and the other two had disappeared. This group of people hadn''t thought that there would be such a terrifying monster among these four people.

    Although Wang Hao did not appear again after a long time, the fog knife still did not let down its guard. This was because the entire Black Mist Stronghold was covered in a scalding hot red mist, to the point that even objects three meters away could not be seen clearly.

    "Ah!" A miserable cry sounded out, and then, the brawny man that had previously talked with the fog knife turned into a corpse. Not long after, cries of agony were heard one after another. The stench of blood filled the air, along with a sense of fear. Under such circumstances, it was normal for people to be filled with fear.

    At this time, the fog knife''s heart was also filled with fear. An invisible Xuanhuang Ranker could give it a fatal blow at any time.

    It was unknown when the blood-curdling screams stopped, but the stench of blood was pungent. It was unknown if the monster had left or if it had killed everyone. It hid in a corner, waiting to give him a fatal blow.

    Suddenly, a bloody shadow flashed, and the fog knife''s left hand actually disappeared. After a long while, pain came, and the fog knife held onto its wound, not howling.

    In a corner of the Black Mist Stronghold, the fog knife covered her hands and crouched down while trembling. After walking around the mountain stronghold for a whole day, she only saw the corpse of his brother, her wife and children. In the entire mountain stronghold, only he was left alive and she had once tried to escape but every time she was about to escape from the mountain stronghold, a blood-colored figure would grab him and bring him back.

    The blood colored figure did not kill him, but instead trapped him inside the mountain stronghold, and made him face the entire mountain stronghold''s corpse. It made him experience despair under this environment, wanting to torture him to death.

    The fog knife could not take it anymore. He found a handful of large knife and grabbed it to choke. The overlord of the Hundred Cliff Valley had been forced to his death just like that.

    Following the death of the fog knife and the scattering of the blood mist, Wang Hao was standing not more than ten metres away from the fog knife. At this time, Wang Hao''s entire body was covered in blood, and his muscles had bulged exaggeratedly, increasing in height by a meter.

    Looking at the dead fog knife, Wang Hao withdrew his sinister expression. His entire body swayed and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

    Chapter 22 - Wang Hao

    Su Bing and the rest were quietly sitting on the escort car. No one spoke, they had all witnessed the massacre that night, and they were beginning to suspect whether Wang Hao was really human or not. This was because there were often demon spies sneaking into the Human Realm to find information on the Human Realm.

    "Phew." Xia Xuan stopped the carriage, took a water bag and went to the escort car. He helped Wang Hao up and slowly fed him water.

    Wang Hao opened his binocular with much difficulty and looked at Xia Xuan before looking at everyone once. When he saw that everyone was safe and sound, he smiled and said, "That''s great, everyone is fine."

    Xia Xuan looked at Wang Hao and was actually a little absent-minded. After a long while, he said, "I have a story to tell you guys. A long time ago, a Boys lived in a village called Golden Valley Village ˇ­"

    Listening to Xia Xuan''s story, Wang Hao felt like a scene in front of his eyes. It was a village that couldn''t be more normal, called Golden Valley Village.

    "Bai Hua, it''s time to go home." A woman came to the village entrance and shouted to the man called Bai Hua.

    "He''s coming." Bai Hua agreed, then ran towards the woman after bidding farewell to her friends. Bai Hua came in front of the woman and held her hand. "Mom, what are you eating today? I''m really tired today, so I''m very hungry right now."

    The woman gave a faint smile and held Baihua''s hand. As she walked towards the village, she spoke to Baihua.

    This was probably the happiest time of his life, the time when he would live a carefree and carefree life, when he would be innocent, when he would not have to think about anything, when he would be able to play freely, when there was his kind mother and strict father.

    When they got home, Bai Hua quickly ate a few big bowls of rice, read a book under her father''s urging for an hour, then quickly ran out the door.

    The Heavens were cruel. Although he gave Baihua a happy family, but he ruthlessly took away his family.

    That night, Bai Hua slept soundly. The entire village was quiet, and fireflies were dancing in the sky. The atmosphere was so peaceful and beautiful, but the beautiful scenery was about to be broken.

    "All of you, stand still." A shout rang out, and a group of bandits from the village carried a large knife, and a torch in one hand. They were currently escorting the villagers to the center of the village.

    Bai Hua was currently hiding under the bed. His parents had been captured by the robbers in order to protect him, and this was the second time the robbers had come to investigate in order to prevent any fish from escaping the net.

    Seeing that the children had been captured, the villagers immediately stood up and said to a man in the crowd who was riding on a red and brown BMW with a fiendish expression, "Blood Stronghold Chief, let the children go. We will hand over everything."

    The man''s name was Xue Sha, and he was the chief of the Bloody Sha Stronghold. He often brought the Bloody Sha Stronghold''s bandits to rob others. For some reason, he was preparing to kill the Gold Valley Village today.

    Xue Sha dismounted and walked in front of the children. He said to the first child, "Child, we aren''t unreasonable people. If you tell us who your parents are, we won''t hurt you. What do you say?"

    The child raised his crying face and said in a choked voice, "What are you going to do?"

    When the child heard this, he pointed at a couple in the crowd. Xue Sha looked at the couple and sneered. Then he waved his hand. Several robbers wielded long sabers and caught the couple in front of the child. With a raise of their sabers, they killed the couple. When the child saw that his parents had been killed, he immediately cried out while hugging the dead bodies of the couple and wailing loudly.

    Xue Sha laughed loudly and arrived in front of the next child. He said the same words, but the child did not say who his parents were. He cried until tears and snot flowed and his body continuously retreated. Xue Sha stopped smiling and waved his hand. A bandit holding a large knife came to the side of the child and killed the child with a wave of his blade.

    Among the villagers, a couple cried out loudly when they saw their child being killed, cursing out loud at Xue Sha.

    Xue Sha ignored it. Walking up to Bai Hua, he asked, "Child, who are your parents?"

    Bai Hua didn''t reply. She lowered her head and shivered all over.

    "If you can fight back, I can consider taking you in as my godson, but I''m not satisfied with your performance." Xue Sha waved his hand again, and a bandit walked towards Bai Hua with a large knife in his hand.

    Seeing that Bai Hua was about to be killed, Bai Hua''s parents immediately shouted, "Lord, we''re this child''s parents, don''t kill him, please kill us."

    Just as he wanted to take action, a scream suddenly sounded out. Looking towards the sound, he saw Bai Hua''s body emitting a blood-red color of spiritual energy, one hand grabbing onto the neck of the bandit who was about to kill him. In his hand, that bandit actually had no strength to fight back.

    Bai Hua threw the bandit in her hand towards Xue Sha, and then disappeared in a flash.

    After the fog dissipated, Bai Hua returned to its original state and fainted on the pile of corpses. After an unknown amount of time, the Wang Family''s patriarch passed by the Golden Valley Village and picked up Bai Hua.

    "This is Wang Hao''s experience, he is not some demon spy. In his previous life, he was the God of Raging Flame and he was unable to control his Raging Flame God state." Xia Xuan said.

    "Bro, it''s been hard on you. For our sake, you''re actually willing to activate the Raging Flame God state." Su Bing stepped forward and said. Rather than to say some words of consolation, Wang Hao''s position in the hearts of everyone present was officially established.

 C23

    Chapter 23 - The God of Flames

    In the Hundred Cliffs Valley, Xia Xuan and the rest were not in a hurry to travel, they had already set up camp in a better location early in the morning, and Wang Hao had already completely recovered.

    Everyone stood in a circle. Xia Xuan held a black box and said, "There is the Six God''s Heart inside, as well as the power stored within. Once you absorb them, you will gradually recover your strength. But I do not support you guys absorbing it now, you guys do not have the will to become stronger, the only person you can absorb is Wang Hao. "

    Wang Hao stared at the box in Xia Xuan''s hands, the resolution in his eyes lit up, and said with a heavy tone: "I want to become stronger."

    "Although you are the reincarnation of the Angry Flame God, this does not mean that you can definitely succeed in absorbing them. If you fail, you will only end up dying. Are you sure?" Xia Xuan said majestically.

    "To face death with complete disregard of fear." Wang Hao said resolutely.

    Xia Xuan nodded his head, his hands continuously forming complicated hand seals, and then the black dragon that was coiled on the box seemed to be alive as it coiled around Xia Xuan''s hand. Within the box, a beating golden heart slowly floated up, as it emitted a terrifying aura, as though the entire world was trembling because of it, which was extremely astonishing.

    Xia Xuan''s hand seals changed, and at the end, he pointed at Wang Hao, only to see the golden heart flying towards Wang Hao and fusing into his body. As the golden heart fused with Wang Hao''s body, a burst of golden flames appeared, causing Wang Hao to scream out loud in pain.

    Su Bing instinctively wanted to step forward but was stopped by Xia Xuan. Looking at Wang Hao''s painful expression, Xia Xuan''s face turned serious, he was extremely nervous at the moment. If Wang Hao failed, he would lose a good brother, and at that time, he would never be able to forgive himself.

    "God''s will will attract spirit beast, our mission is to protect him, don''t let him be disturbed at all." Xia Xuan said.

    In the midst of the pain, Wang Hao''s will fell into a coma. Gradually, he felt his consciousness arrived at a dark world, a world where there was no light, no sound. He could only feel himself falling, an endless descent, as if he would never land.

    Suddenly, a light flashed, the scenery in front of him changed, and what appeared was a battlefield, with thousands of troops rushing on the battlefield, and only one person stopping them, a man holding onto a fire red large knife, dressed in a lion shaped armor, with a handsome face, looking carefully, it was actually the same as Wang Hao.

    The man brandished the large knife in front of him ruthlessly and the ground immediately cracked open. The bottomless chasm directly blocked the steps of a huge army of thousands of men.

    Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. At this time, the man held the large knife, jumped over the deep abyss with a single leap, and rushed into the army alone.

    Wang Hao was dumbstruck. The man started to fight amongst the thousands of soldiers and horses, although he never backed down alone.

    The battle lasted for three days and three nights. As the last person was killed with a face full of fear, only the man was left on the battlefield, fighting against thousands of enemies by himself, the entire battlefield reeking of blood, he stood on the corpse mountain, although he was already exhausted, but he still stood straight, smiling at the sky, as if he had defeated the heavens, extremely majestic.

    Wang Hao came to the back of the man, and looking at the man''s majestic back, an indescribable feeling surged up in his heart.

    The man turned around, looked at Wang Hao, and chuckled: "You''re finally here, I''ve been waiting for you for a long time."

    Wang Hao asked curiously: Wait for me? Why are you waiting for me? "

    "Because you are me, and I am you. We have the same power, and we have the same experience. You need my power, and I need you to inherit my will." As the man spoke, he looked up at the sky.

    "What is the test?" Wang Hao asked. He knew that there was nothing in this world that could not be earned without hard work. Everything had to be paid for and tested. If one did not experience hardships, how could there be a peerless treasured sword?

    The man sneered and said, "Defeat me and swallow me."

    Wang Hao looked at the man''s smiling face and thought about how thousands of men were killed. He couldn''t help but swallow his saliva.

    "Don''t worry, this is your world. As long as you have enough willpower, I won''t be able to kill you." The man said again.

    Wang Hao nodded as he gathered the spiritual energy in his hands and rushed towards the man.

    In the Hundred Cliffs Valley, countless spirit beast had gathered. Be it on the cliff or the canyon, all of them were covered by spirit beast in the sky or in the canyon.

    Suddenly, a giant eagle swooped down towards Wang Hao, but before it could approach Wang Hao, countless vine s burst out from the ground, instantly forming a huge net that trapped the giant eagle.

    Just then, a gigantic pangolin suddenly jumped out of the ground and rushed towards Wang Hao with bared fangs and brandished claws, but a gigantic blood red hand caught it in an instant. With a strong grab, the pangolin died, and the giant hand flung the pangolin flying.

    "Everyone, keep your spirits up. Don''t let even a single one of them pass." Xia Xuan shouted.

    Every time he was struck flying, he would climb up with the fastest speed possible and rush towards the man again. After a long period of time, the man actually started to pant, because after all, Wang Hao had already persisted for a few months, and although only a few hours had passed in reality, but in the spirit world, it was true that several months had passed, and in these few months, even the man couldn''t help but secretly nod his head at Wang Hao''s performance.

    Once again climbing up from the ground, Wang Hao raised his fist and charged towards the man again. This time the man did not attack Wang Hao. Make up your mind, and don''t disgrace the name Raging Flame. " The man''s voice finally sounded on the battlefield.

    In the Hundred Cliffs Valley, all of the beasts could no longer hold themselves back and they all rushed towards Wang Hao. Even Xia Xuan had to use all his strength to protect everyone.

    Suddenly, the golden flames on Wang Hao''s body turned into a fiery red color, the binocular opened its mouth, and a ray of blood light shot out, instantly turning the hundreds of spirit beast into ashes. Wang Hao smiled slightly, the blood colored large knife condensed in his hands, and rushed into the beast wave alone, starting a slaughter.

    Looking at Wang Hao''s figure, Xia Xuan smiled slightly. He knew that his brother had returned, the God of Raging Flame had returned.

    Chapter 24 - The Big Five

    The Wulong''s capital city was called Wu Capital, and it had a unique name. There were many people walking around in the city, and the pedestrians on the streets could only be walked around by a group of people, not even having a place to stay.

    Xia Xuan gave the escort car to the consignee, and after placing it down, Xia Xuan brought Wang Hao and the others and directly entered the Wulong Empire''s imperial city. As the champion of the Myriad Academy Competition, they could directly enter the imperial city, because the competition grounds of the five nations'' competition was right inside the imperial city.

    Entering the Imperial City, Wang Hao and the others were filled with emotions. Although they had entered the Xing Bei Empire Imperial City before, as the head of the five nations, the size of the Imperial City was naturally much larger than the northern star city.

    "Wa, as expected of the Wulong Empire, even Xing Bei is far from it." Wang Hao raised his head, looked at the surrounding buildings, and lamented nonstop, he couldn''t even keep his mouth shut.

    "A bunch of ignorant fools." Suddenly, an undisguised voice rang out. He saw a man dressed in a golden silk robe, with a handsome face, leading a few servants looking at Xia Xuan and the others.

    "What did you say?" After Wang Hao heard what the man said, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over.

    Xia Xuan extended his hand to stop Wang Hao, shook his head at Wang Hao, and then walked towards a direction far away from the man. Wang Hao saw that Xia Xuan had moved to stop him, even though he was extremely angry, he kept his anger in his heart and followed Xia Xuan.

    "His name is Wu Bing, a seventh grade mystical master, still the son of Wu Min, and his battle against him is not good for our two nations." Xia Xuan was still furious as he said: "This time, he will be leading the royal family of the Wulong. It won''t be too late to take action after that." Xia Xuan could tolerate people who insulting him, but he could not tolerate someone who insulted his brother.

    Other than the five Monarch s, no one else had the qualifications to watch the competition. This competition was related to the five nations'' rankings, and was extremely important to the five nations, because the four countries that lost would have to pay tribute to the champion country for the next two years. According to the rankings, the previous five nations'' major competition was won by the Wulong s, and although Xing Bei had obtained second place, the national power of the two nations was still two times different.

    By relying on this power, the five countries had clearly become stronger. Although every year after paying tribute to the ancestors, the people of the five countries would have to face a tax increase, but the five countries were able to help each other without any problems.

    Xia Xuan and the rest sat around the fighting stage, there were a few dozen people around the stage, they were about the same age as Xia Xuan and the rest, they were from the other four nations.

    Xia Xuan came to the front of a handsome man dressed in silk clothing, and smiled: "It''s been a while Brother Wu Tong, I wonder how you''ve been." The man called Wu Tong was the son of Wu Min. Because Wulong had won the last tournament, the Empire of Wulong could send out two teams to compete, and Wu Tong was the leader of the other team.

    Thank you, Brother Xia Xuan, for your concern. Wu Tong bowed towards Xia Xuan, showing some courtesy.

    "I wonder if brother Wu Tong is interested in cooperating for a bit?" Xia Xuan smiled at Wu Tong, it was a sinister smile.

    After conversing with Wu Tong for a while, Xia Xuan smiled and turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he felt an unfriendly gaze and turned around to see a man dressed in black who had a pale complexion was staring at him. Xia Xuan smiled at the man and left. After that, when Wu Tong saw the spot where Xia Xuan had stood before he left, he was shocked. He only saw that there was an additional small hole on the ground where Xia Xuan had previously stood. Wu Tong secretly swallowed saliva, he did not think that just by greeting the two of them, they had already engaged in an intense battle without him noticing, thinking back to what Xia Xuan had said before, he definitely had the ability to control the champion position, and this black clothed man was obviously not weak either, could it be that his Wulong had already declined? How come two people who came at random had such terrifying powers? It really made Wu Tong feel depressed.

    Returning to Wang Hao''s side, Xia Xuan smiled faintly towards Wu Min''s direction. Sensing Xia Xuan''s gaze, Wu Min looked towards Xia Xuan, and then saluted back. After greeting, Xia Xuan sat on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

    "Monarch Wu Min, may I ask what your views are on Wu Bing and Wu Tong?" Xia Xuan''s voice sounded out in Wu Min''s mind.

    Wu Min''s face was filled with surprise, obviously he did not expect Xia Xuan to ask such a question, but after thinking about it, he transmitted his voice to Xia Xuan and said: "The five great nations all respect strength, Wu Bing''s talent is outstanding, at such a young age he has already surpassed Wu Tong, and even the State Advisor is on his side, but Wu Tong has talent in healing the nations, and his strength is not weak either, if possible, I hope that the five great nations will perform better than Wu Tong, and this will benefit him in inheriting the throne in the future."

    "Understood." Xia Xuan replied and cut off the communication, looking at the distant Wu Bing who was resting with his eyes closed, his mouth formed a faint smile, like a villain. If Wu Bing knew that he was not lucky enough to be able to get the throne with a single sentence, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

    Wu Min looked at Xia Xuan and then looked at Wu Bing. He could not help but smile and mourn in his heart for his little son.

    On the martial arena, the black clothed man walked up onto the stage. He smiled at the seven women in front of him and said, "Let''s go together."

    The seven people were puzzled. The Five Kingdoms'' Large Competition was a seven-man team battle, so how could this black-clothed man enter the stage alone?

    "Don''t be surprised, we don''t need seven people to deal with you." The black-clothed man sneered. He simply didn''t place the seven from the Di Yue Country in his eyes.

    "Arrogant and conceited." The seven people scolded at the same time. Then, they all rushed out, surrounding the man from different angles.

    The black clothed man laughed congealing the dark spiritual energy in his hand, he fiercely punched the stage, the terrifying force directly sending the seven people flying out of the stage.

    "A ninth stage Mystical King!" The Four Great Monarch s all stood up abruptly, and their gazes towards the black clothed man were filled with shock.

    "Calm down, don''t forget that there''s still another person with the Xuanzun in Xing Bei, even though he doesn''t seem to be here." Xu Qing sat on the chair, with a dull expression, he was not surprised at all.

    Shuo Ling''s face was bitter. She did not expect that he, Di Yue, would lose so miserably in the first match. It seemed like raising taxes was inevitable.

    Xu Fu, the son of Xu Qing, at the peak of the ninth grade Mystical King, was the biggest competitor of the competition who had obtained the evil god''s strength. However, when Xia Xuan looked at the team participating in the competition, one of the white-robed man attracted Xia Xuan''s attention.

    Chapter 25 - War

    In the center of Wulong''s Imperial City, Xu Fu slowly walked down the stage. From the moment he left the stage to the moment he returned, his gaze had never moved away from Xia Xuan.

    "I didn''t expect Brother Xu''s son to be so powerful. It really makes us envious." Tie Ge cupped his hands and said to Xu Qing.

    "Humph!" How can he be compared to Xia Cha''s son, Xing Bei''s prince Xia Xuan has never heard of him before, if he suddenly appears now, I''m afraid that it has something to do with the mysterious person who defeated Brother Tie. " Xu Qing let out a cold laugh, as he looked at Xia Cha with a sinister gaze.

    "I don''t even have much control over my son, but you do." Xia Cha snorted coldly, and no longer said anything more.

    After the black clothed man left the stage, Wu Tong brought his team up on stage. Looking at the seven people in front of him, he couldn''t help but feel bitter in his heart. The six people behind Wu Tong were all commoners, and they did not have the resources to train themselves, so the reason they were able to participate in the Five Great Guilds Competition was basically because of Wu Tong. However, the seven people in front of them were the seven strongest people in Iron Cliff Country, and even if they tried their best, they would not be able to become enemies with Wu Tong.

    Looking at the black dragon pattern in his hand and then looking at Xia Xuan, Wu Tong''s heart lifted and he shouted, "Let''s fight."

    The two squads clashed against each other without any strategy. The Five Great Monarch s could not help but shake their heads.

    After a few minutes, there were only eight people left on the stage. The seven people from Iron Cliff Nation had a long breath, while Wu Tong was the only one left. In the distance, Wu Min could not help but clench his fist as he prayed for Wu Tong secretly. He thought back to what Xia Xuan had said, and believed that Xia Xuan would not do nothing.

    Wu Tong clenched his fist tightly, looked at the seven people in front of him, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fist. The black dragon image turned into a black dragon and instantly became tens of thousands of feet large. It flew in the air and blocked the sun. The terrifying aura pressured down on the seven people so that they couldn''t even breathe.

    "A True Dragon!" The five Monarch s exclaimed at the same time. Dragons were the kings of beasts, even the weakest dragon could easily kill dozens of Xuanzun, and Wu Tong was actually able to summon a True Dragon, even though its Qi was similar to a True Dragon, it could not be underestimated.

    He opened his bloody mouth, wanting to bite the seven people from Iron Gangze Nation. However, after seeing Xia Xuan''s sharp gaze in the distance, he retracted his head, sweeping the seven people off the fighting stage with his tail, his body shrinking, as he hovered around Wu Tong''s hand and turned them into a black dragon pattern.

    The entire audience was dumbfounded. The team that was bound to lose had suddenly turned the tables. Furthermore, they had used such a surprising method to turn the tables.

    When the Five Great Monarch s checked the Black Dragon Mark, they finally decided Wu Tong won.

    Other people might not know it but the him who had interacted with the Six God''s Heart for the longest time knew that this Black Dragon was clearly a Black Dragon that was coiling around the black box. At that time, he already felt that the Black Dragon was strange and wanted to bring it back to the Imperial City to study it, but was robbed halfway by the Black Man. Right now, Xu Qing was certain that Xia Xuan was Black Man. He had clearly seen Xia Xuan take the initiative to talk to Wu Tong before, and then Wu Tong had summoned the Black Dragon.

    After Wu Tong''s matter was over, Xia Xuan and the others walked up the stage. In front of them, Xu Fu and the other three had lazy expressions, as if they had been filled with confidence from the very beginning.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze never left the white-robed man at Xu Fu''s side. He sensed an extremely dangerous aura from Xia Xuan and he even suspected that the person was not from the Wanhua Empire.

    Xia Xuan waved his hand, and Wang Hao and the rest stood in a formation. Xia Xuan and Wang Hao stood at the forefront, Su Bing and Mo Youxue stood at the sides, Wu Zhi was at the back, Li Le protected him by his side, and Mo Haoxue, who could control vine, was in the center.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan and the rest were in a formation, the black clothed man waved his hand and formed a formation that was exactly the same as Xia Xuan and the rest.

    Following Wu Min''s orders, the two groups immediately rushed towards each other, with the two wings being the fastest. Mo Youxue and Su Bing who were in the state of leopard girl instantly clashed with the two enemy wings.

    The second fight was between Wang Hao and Xu Fu, from the start, Xu Fu had never wanted to fight with Xia Xuan, and neither did Xia Xuan want to fight with Xu Fu, who immediately exchanged blows with white-robed man''s fists.

    Just as he collided with white-robed man, Xia Xuan''s figure instantly retreated, his face full of shock.

    Every single god who had reached the Divine General level would establish their own residence in the Human Realm. And from the white-robed man''s body, Xia Xuan could sense the aura of the Celestial King.

    After pondering for a moment, Xia Xuan reached out his hand towards white-robed man. With a grab of his big hand, a bloody mouth directly swallowed the man whole, and then, another bloody mouth swallowed Xia Xuan whole. Then, the two disappeared into thin air.

    Wang Hao was the first to regain his senses, and said to Xu Fu: "The battle isn''t over yet."

    "Aren''t you worried at all?" Xu Fu asked.

    "I have faith in him." Wang Hao laughed, and waved his hand, releasing both the blood red large knife and the blood red armor. This was the enhanced version of the Raging Ape state, and the current Wang Hao could rationally control his own under this state, in which case he would not even be able to fight against a first stage Xuanzun.

    "You''re actually in the Deity Stage as well." With a wave of his hand, the Black Spiritual Qi transformed into a black armor and a black sickle. It was actually similar to the state of an angry god.

    "I don''t care how much you have paid for this power. It is impossible for you to pay more than me, so the one who wins can only be me." Black Spiritual Qi leaked out from Xu Fu''s eyes, his face fierce, with a sickle in hand, he rushed towards Wang Hao.

    "The God of Rage is not something a mere evil god can even be compared with." With that said, Wang Hao welcomed Xu Fu with the large knife in his hands.

    The scythe collided with a terrifying force that caused the others to be knocked off their seats. It felt as if this battle was none of their business.

    With a sigh, the two teams returned to their resting areas and quietly watched the match.

 C26

    Chapter 26 - Fighting

    The scythe collided with each other, and the sheer force of its collision sent everyone flying off the battling platform. One could imagine how terrifying its power was. This single attack had already made the two teams feel extremely helpless, but the next scene left everyone dumbstruck. Wang Hao and Xu Fu frantically waved the Weapons in their hands. Their speed was so fast that no one could see them clearly, only the constant sounds of the Weapons colliding with each other could be heard.

    Who knew how many times they had swung the Weapons, but in the end, both of them had been pushed back by a few meters.

    "What did you pay for this power?" Xu Fu asked.

    "Family, friends, and my childhood." Wang Hao pointed his finger at the ground, and the spiritual energy started to condense on his blade.

    "That''s all you have left, and yet you''re able to obtain such power. I refuse to accept this, I have sacrificed everything to achieve this, I refuse to accept this ˇŞ" Xu Fu roared as he rushed towards Wang Hao.

    "Madman." The large knife in Wang Hao''s hands instantly erupted with an astonishing spiritual energy, and with a slash of the blade across the air, it slashed towards Xu Fu. A bloody blade light several meters long left a deep scar on the ground as it shot towards Xu Fu.

    "evil god''s real body." Xu Fu roared, a wave of Black Spiritual Qi immediately wrapped around him, the blood blade struck the spiritual energy without leaving any traces.

    "Angry God''s real body." Wang Hao and Xu Fu released a loud roar, and the blood colored spiritual energy that was wrapped around looked extremely similar to Xu Fu.

    With the blood-red saber in his hand, he collided with the giant dark sickle. The terrifying strength directly crushed the arena into pieces. Although the fighting stage was gone, Xu Fu still did not stop his attacks, the giant black sickle continued to swing at Wang Hao.

    "You forced me to do this." Wang Hao bit his hand, and fresh blood splattered onto the enormous blade. The enormous blade instantly became a hundred meters wide, and as the blade slashed down, it was unknown whether Xu Fu was still alive or not.

    Within the dark void, Xia Xuan and the white-robed man looked at each other from afar.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion''s second disciple, Qiu Min greets Lord God of Death." white-robed man bowed towards Xia Xuan, showing no hostility.

    "Your goal should be to kill me when I''m young, right?" Xia Xuan coldly snorted, and said, "Don''t put on an act in front of me."

    The white-robed man squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then I request Lord God of Death to make a move. I wonder if you will still have the strength you had in the past after you reincarnated."

    "Don''t worry. I will make it so that you will never forget it, because I will be the last face you will see." With that said, Xia Xuan appeared in front of Qiu Min in a flash with the pike in his hand and thrusted straight for its throat.

    "You won''t be able to beat me if you don''t activate the Deicide state." Qiu Min squinted his eyes with a smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, a terrifying force directly sent Xia Xuan flying.

    Standing steadily, Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, staring at Qiu Min with eyes filled with unwillingness. If it was in his previous life, he would not even care about a mere Qiu Min, maybe he could destroy ten thousand times with a single sneeze, and now, he had to use his full strength to barely make an enemy of Qiu Min.

    Xia Xuan''s body trembled violently, all the blood vessels on his body had ruptured, and his entire body was drenched in blood, turning him into a man made of blood.

    Xia Xuan who was covered in blood held onto the blood red pike, the blood red binocular looked like it could swallow a person whole.

    "The state of the reincarnated Deicide is truly miserable." Qiu Min said in disdain. After that, he was completely wrapped up by the golden spiritual energy and the golden longsword in his hands released a light aura.

    Xia Xuan could naturally tell that this was the state of the Celestial King, he never thought that in order to deal with him, the The Divine King''s Mansion would actually let a small Qiu Min have the state of the Celestial King.

    Taking out the book on the blood demon, Xia Xuan could not help but mutter to himself. The blood demon was extremely bright, under the light of the blood demon''s book, the blood demon wrapped around Xia Xuan, and instantly wrapped Xia Xuan into a blood giant that was dozens of meters tall.

    "You actually managed to obtain the book." The smile on Qiu Min''s face had long since disappeared, the fact that he possessed the Book of Blood Aura was already beyond his expectations. Xia Xuan who possessed the Book of Blood Aura was definitely not someone a mere Celestial King could handle.

    "Book of Blood Splitting Light, Ten Thousand Fiends Heart Technique." Xia Xuan roared out, the book erupted with countless of evil spirits, they released wuwu sounds and rushed at Qiu Min, facing countless of evil spirits, even Qiu Min who was in Celestial King state was helpless, the evil spirits immediately submerged them, and did not even have the ability to resist.

    He knew that he was being watched, and the current him needed strength. He needed to face the power of the The Divine King''s Mansion, and the fastest way to obtain power was to find what he had.

    Within the imperial city, a huge scar that was a few hundred meters long was incomparably conspicuous. Among them, Xu Fu was lying on the ground, the Black Spiritual Qi on his body had long since disappeared, and the binocular had turned completely white. It was obvious that he had lost consciousness.

    A big bloody mouth suddenly appeared, breaking the silence, Xia Xuan jumped out from the big mouth, the blood on his body was still flowing, as though he was a blood man.

    Wang Hao came to Xia Xuan''s side and asked: "Are you alright?"

    "Yes." Xia Xuan gave a light grunt as he walked in front of the five great Monarch with a golden tablet in hand. "The Wanhua Empire has invited The Divine King''s Mansion Qiu Min to participate in the battle.

    Xu Qing was so angry that his face turned green, his teeth chattered loudly, but with the evidence laid out in front of him, he had nothing to say.

    "Then where is Qiu Min?" Xu Qing hurriedly said after calming down.

    "He fled." Xia Xuan replied.

    Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief, he could not help but feel relieved in his heart, that Qiu Min was a disciple of the The Divine King''s Mansion, and he was cooperating with Wan Hua, if he was killed by Xia Xuan, Wan Hua would be facing a calamity.

    Xia Xuan sneered, one of his feet stepping on the ground, countless of soil flew up, and when the soil landed, it coincidentally formed a fighting stage.

    "According to the rules, as the royal team from the previous champion nation, Wu Bing doesn''t need to participate, but he has to accept the challenge from the last two teams. I will now challenge the royal team from the Wulong." Xia Xuan pointed to Wu Bing.

    After hearing what Xia Xuan had said, Wu Bing was so scared that he started sweating profusely. After seeing Xia Xuan create a competition stage with his own hands, he did not want to think that he could defeat anymore.

 C27

    Chapter 27 - Lessons learned

    Wu Bing''s group of seven slowly walked to the stage, their bodies covered in cold sweat. With a flip of their hands, they could swallow someone into space. He clearly remembered that not long ago, he had scolded Xia Xuan and the others, saying that they were idiots.

    Wu Bing arrived in front of Xia Xuan and the others. He half bent his body and his legs trembled non-stop.

    "Big brothers and big sisters, can you be more gentle? It''s best not to hit your face." Wu Bing covered his face with his sleeves and said while trembling. The six people behind him acted the same as him, causing Xia Xuan and the others to laugh out loud.

    Xia Xuan took a step forward, waved his hand, and the overflowing spiritual energy transformed into a cage, directly sealing the stage. Xia Xuan sneered at Wu Bing and the others, then turned around and said: "You guys go ahead and fight first."

    Wang Hao and the other three were clenching their fists, with an evil smile on their faces, the seven of them saw the scene and squatted down, and did not dare retaliate.

    "Ah, be gentler." Miserable screams could be heard unceasingly,, who was watching from afar, felt his heart ache.

    After around twenty minutes, Wang Hao and the other three all clapped their hands and returned to Xia Xuan''s back. It was obvious that they were in a good mood after venting their anger.

    On the other hand, Wu Bing and the rest of the seven, all of them were lying on the ground, like pig heads, their clothes were all tattered, with patches of green and purple. If it were not for the fact that there were no spectators, even with their status, they would not be able to suppress the laughter of the audience.

    Xia Xuan took a step forward, and with a wave of his hand, a wave of spiritual energy wrapped around the seven of them. Not long later, all the injuries on their bodies were completely healed. The six of them looked at each other in confusion. Only Wu Min felt bad in his heart.

    "So you have some conscience after all. You even know how to help us treat our injuries." Wu Bing laughed.

    "It''s only a superficial wound. It should be treated with a spiritual energy." Xia Xuan smiled slightly.

    "Then quickly put this cage away." Wu Bing patted his clothes and said.

    "Don''t be in such a hurry. They''re done. I haven''t even started yet." Xia Xuan squinted his eyes and smiled slightly. Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Wu Bing was shocked, he immediately retreated, and Xia Xuan''s smiling face became like a demon''s perverted smile.

    Xia Xuan came to the front of the skinniest man, rubbed its head and said: "Are you afraid of pain?"

    The man nodded and looked pitifully at Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan smiled, he did not give any bad impression, it was hard to imagine how such a face would look like.

    ''s next action immediately caused everyone to be dumbstruck, Xia Xuan had grabbed the man''s head and smashed it hard onto the ground, with a smash, the man''s head was smashed into the ground, shocking everyone, they were afraid that someone might really lose their life.

    Xia Xuan pulled the man out from the ground. When he saw that the man was unconscious with a face full of boredom, he flung him aside. There was no telling if he was dead or alive. Xia Xuan walked up to the next person, rubbed his head, and asked the exact same question as the previous person.

    "I''m afraid." After merely saying a single word, that person was already unable to speak anymore. Like the person before him, his entire head was smashed into the ground as he lost consciousness.

    Wang Hao and the other two tensed up, they did not expect Xia Xuan to be so terrifying.

    After the six loud sounds, six people in the arena had already lost consciousness. At the same time, there were six more holes in the arena. When Xia Xuan arrived in front of Wu Bing, the binocular squinted his eyes and smiled. Looking at Xia Xuan''s face, Wu Bing felt that he saw a demon. He could no longer stand, and could no longer care about his status as a prince, kneeling on the ground, teeth chattering non-stop.

    "Can you lighten it?" Wu Bing knew that Xia Xuan was targeting him, and would definitely not treat him the way the other six did.

    Xia Xuan laughed coldly, and said: "It''s useless to beg for forgiveness." Then, he grabbed Wu Bing and started to crazily smash him into the ground and the cage as if he was a Weapons. Not long later, the ground of the stage became riddled with thousands of holes, even Wang Hao and the rest could not bear to watch any further, they turned their heads and ignored the extremely violent scene.

    , who was watching from afar, felt a sharp pain in his heart. Which father would not feel pity when seeing his son? A voice filled with the benevolence of a father entered Xia Xuan''s ears, and said: "Little brother, let''s just forget about it, since little kids don''t know better and offend you, I''ll accompany you, and give him some face and let him go."

    Hearing Wu Min''s words, Xia Xuan threw Wu Bing fiercely to the ground, clapped his hands and left.

    Seeing Xia Xuan retract his hand, Wu Min hurriedly announced: "Northern Star Victory."

    "In the next match, I, Xing Bei, give up. I can directly proclaim Wulong as the champion." Xia Xuan suddenly said, surprising everyone.

    "You should at least give me a reason for admitting defeat, or else we''ll have to proceed with the competition." Xu Qing said.

    "Because the dragon Wu Bing summoned is a True Dragon. It is not that our auras are similar to a True Dragon, we simply have no chance of winning. " Xia Xuan''s words shocked the entire audience. What did a True Dragon mean?

    In the end, the great competition of the five nations ended with the victory of the Wulong.

    It was night. Xia Xuan sat on the roof alone, looking up at the stars in the sky. Suddenly, Xia Cha appeared beside his. Looking at the countless stars in the sky, he did not say a word.

    "When are you leaving?" Xia Cha suddenly asked.

    Xia Xuan looked at Xia Xuan in shock, obviously not expecting Xia Cha to say such a thing.

    Xia Cha looked at Xia Xuan, smiled slightly, and said: "I''m your father, can you hide anything from me? Kill Qiu Min today, you must be going out to gain experience for this country''s sake. "

    Ever since he was young, Xia Cha had always treated him as a treasure in his hands. Even though he was busy with matters of the Monarch, he would always find the time to accompany Xia Cha. In his eyes, Xia Cha was not only a good Monarch, he was also a good father.

    "Tomorrow, the enemies are too strong this time. I only have three years." Xia Xuan said.

    Xia Cha was shocked. He did not expect Xia Xuan to be so anxious, but he quickly recovered and kindly said: "Child, if you are tired, go home. No matter how strong the enemies are, I will always shield you from the wind and rain."

    Xia Xuan''s eyes reddened slightly as he answered with a light "En". He shared the moonlight with Xia Cha and finally fell soundly asleep in his arms.

 C28

    Chapter 28 - Inequality

    "What!" Inside the Martial Imperial City, Wang Hao and the rest did not wait for Xia Xuan to arrive. In the end, they waited for news that Xia Xuan was out training.

    In the southwest side of Ten Thousand Rock Country, there was a city called Yan City, and in one of the villages called Great Rock Village, Xia Xuan was slowly walking down a mountain path.

    Suddenly, two figures ran past a distant forest, followed by a group of Black Man that hurriedly chased after them.

    One of the two old men in his seventies fell to the ground, while the other young girl rushed forward to support him. However, the old man''s leg was already injured and it was impossible for him to do so with the young girl''s strength.

    "Child, leave quickly. Don''t worry about me." The old man pushed the girl away as he spoke.

    "I don''t want to die together with you." As the young girl spoke, she started crying, her tears streaming down her face. In an instant, her crying face had turned into the face of a kitten.

    "As long as the mountain is still around, we won''t have to be afraid of nothing." As the old man said this, he once again pushed the young girl away and loudly said, "Quickly go, you must save your father."

    "He''s already at the brink of death, yet he''s still thinking about such things. He''s really too muddle-headed." Suddenly, a few Black Man s walked over to the old man''s side, the silver blade in their hands glinting with a cold light. After a short while, dozens of Black Man arrived and surrounded the young girl and the old man.

    "Elder Ge, with your ability, if you had joined the family head, would you have ended up like this?" Black Man said as he walked around the old man.

    "Pah, that despicable little person dares to call himself the master. Isn''t he afraid of being struck by lightning?" The old man spat out a mouthful of saliva and cursed loudly.

    "Stubborn fool." With that, Black Man raised the scimitar in his hand and was about to chop at the old man. When the young lady saw this, he felt despair and buried his head into the ground, crying loudly.

    "Who are you?" Suddenly, the Black Man shouted in unison. The young lady felt that something was amiss, and raised her head to see a handsome man dressed in black robe clothes, who looked to be around twelve years of age. The man had pinned the Black Man, who was about to kill Old Man, onto the ground, but was unable to retaliate at all.

    "Don''t you all feel ashamed that so many people are bullying an old man and a young girl who are powerless?" Xia Xuan used some force to grab Black Man''s hand, causing him to pinch his until he was begging for forgiveness.

    "If you open your eyes and lie, you won''t be a good person." With that said, Xia Xuan raised Black Man up and threw him towards the other Black Man. Seeing that, the other Black Man immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan, the scimitar in their hands pointed straight at Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan snorted coldly, the next scene stunned the girl by his side. He only saw Xia Mu turning into a black shadow, and in a few blinks of an eye, he had killed all of Black Man.

    "I''ll count to three. If you don''t want to die, then hurry up and scram." Xia Xuan said coldly.

    Black Man replied, "You ˇ­"

    "Three." Without waiting for Black Man to speak, Xia Xuan had already summoned the spiritual energy in his hand. It was extremely shocking. Black Man no longer dared to treat Xia Xuan as a fledgling, and turned around to run.

    Seeing that the Black Man had ran away, Xia Xuan supported the old man up, and a set of spiritual energy condensed into the old man to heal his injuries.

    "Thank you for saving my life, Young Hero." The old man thanked him.

    "It''s just a small matter. What''s the point of wasting my breath?" Xia Xuan bowed in return, then said, "May I know if Senior is old senior Ge Qing from Wyrm Flame Clan?"

    "Why do you ask?" Ge Qing asked cautiously.

    "To tell you the truth, I have something that I need to ask of Patriarch Jiao Peng." Xia Xuan replied.

    The current Wyrm Flame Clan is already under his control, the Patriarch''s life is in danger. I am prepared to go and seek help from the Patriarch, but I have to use all available means to get here, if not for Young Hero''s help, I am afraid that I would have implicated this girl. "Su Yun said. Ge Qing sighed lightly and said.

    "Since that''s the case, then I will go with senior to the Dashi." Xia Xuan said.

    "Thank you, Young Hero." Ge Qing hurriedly thanked him.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan brought the old man and the young lady to walk on the main road. Xia Xuan hired a carriage and slowly chatted with the old man about the situation in Wyrm Flame Clan.

    Just as they were chatting, the young girl said, "We''re here." He saw that not too far away, an incomparably large stone city had appeared within his field of vision.

    As they approached the large rock city, Xia Xuan noticed that all of the Soldiers s guarding the gate had serious expressions and vigilance. In the corners of the city, there were even arrows pointed straight at Xia Xuan and the other two.

    "Young hero, if anything happens, please protect this girl." Ge Qing''s voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    "Who is this lady?" Xia Xuan looked at the woman and said.

    "The daughter of the Jiao Peng Clan Chief, Jiao Ling. She is our Wyrm Flame Clan''s last hope." After saying that, Ge Qing''s gaze fell upon the young girl. There was grief in his eyes, and there was also the great hope he had for the young girl.

    Xia Xuan sighed and nodded, not because he needed help from others, just because Ge Qing was loyal to the Wyrm Flame Clan, that was why he was worthy of Xia Xuan''s help.

    This was a mansion, a mansion that was comparable to a city. The mansion''s grass alone was a thousand meters long, and the various houses were like Imperial Palace s. There were very little people around, but it was actually a gigantic city mansion.

    Arriving at the great hall at the center of the mansion, Xia Xuan could tell with a glance that there were tens of experts hiding in the shadows. Clearly, they were not ordinary family guards, because among these people, there were dozens of profound masters, and there were also several Mystical King s and a Xuanhuang.

    After around half an hour, Xia Xuan gazed at the first seat of the hall, only to see a middle-aged man around forty years old suddenly appear, his aura showing his strength, the man''s name was Yan Tie, he was the patriarch of Dashi, he was normally loyal to his friends, but no one knew how many evil deeds he had done behind his back. Yan Tie was an eighth stage Xuanhuang, this kind of expert was definitely an elder in any nation.

    "Senior Ge Qing, how have you been? I wonder why you suddenly came to visit?" The middle-aged man spoke very politely towards Ge Qing the moment he appeared.

 C29

    Chapter 29 - Drawing the Sword

    "I believe that the Yan Clan Chief is also aware of the recent situation in Wyrm Flame Clan, right? I am actually here to seek your help today." Ge Qing immediately stood up from his seat and cupped his hands towards Yan Tie.

    "Humph!" Old Senior Ge, you only know that I''m usually loyal to others, do you know how many shady tricks I''ll have after I show my loyalty? " Yan Tie sneered, and said weirdly.

    "This ˇ­" Ge Qing''s eyes rolled twice, but he still did not know how to reply.

    "You should also know that the strength of the Wyrm Flame Clan is much stronger than my Dashi. There is no compensation and it is also a waste of manpower. Why would I help you?" Yan Tie''s words made Ge Qing so angry that his face turned purple.

    "If that''s the case, then we won''t disturb you, clan leader Yan." Ge Qing cupped his hands and turned to leave.

    "Seize them." Yan Tie shouted, and countless Black Man s jumped out from the various halls, all of them holding Weapons s, one look was enough to tell that they had prepared this early on.

    Xia Xuan pulled Ge Qing and Jiao Ling behind him, and the blood colored pike in his hands immediately condensed. Every Black Man who were near to him would be beaten and sent flying.

    Yan Tie watched as Xia Xuan''s binocular narrowed its eyes, and then, its body charged towards Xia Xuan with an explosive speed. A large knife instantly condensed in its hand, and hacked towards Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan reacted and used the pike to block the large knife, the huge force of the large knife hitting the pike forced Xia Xuan out of the great hall. When the surrounding Black Man saw Xia Xuan being brought out of the hall by Yan Tie, they all surrounded Ge Qing and the Weapons in their hands were all sent flying towards the two. Jiao Ling immediately covered his head with both hands and shouted out.

    After a long while, Jiao Ling realised that nothing had happened. He opened her eyes and realized that his and Ge Qing were trapped by a blood colored light shield, and that no matter how the Black Man chopped, they were unable to break apart the blood colored light shield. Jiao Ling looked at Xia Xuan in the distance, an indescribable surge of emotions in her eyes.

    Xia Xuan used a bit of force, and with a spear, he pushed Yan Tie away. After that, all of the blood colored spiritual energy congealed together and a blood colored armor immediately congregated.

    "Humph!" Yan Tie snorted, countless rocks flew over and adhered onto his body, and in a moment, he had turned into a rock giant.

    Seeing that Yan Tie had turned into a rock giant, Xia Xuan ruthlessly threw the pike in his hands out. The blood colored spiritual energy in his hands quickly condensed into a blood colored giant axe, and the figure of the blood colored giant axe in his hands flashed and disappeared.

    Yan Tie flung his giant hand, and the blood colored pike was immediately sent flying. But when he looked at Xia Xuan, he discovered that Xia Xuan had already disappeared.

    At this time, Yan Tie already had no time to activate the spiritual energy, so he raised both of his hands in an attempt to block Xia Xuan''s axe.

    The blood red gigantic axe slashed down, the rocks were like flour that was directly slashed apart by the gigantic axe, if Xia Xuan was allowed to slash, both of his hands would probably be cut off today.

    Just as the gigantic axe was about to strike down, Yan Tie was unable to react. Just as he was about to lose all hope, the gigantic axe suddenly retracted, and then hacked down on his body again crazily, but every strike of the axe was extremely ingenious, and yet it only hacked at Yan Tie who was inside the boulder without harming him.

    Although the gigantic axe looked extremely huge, it seemed as if it was weightless in Xia Xuan''s hands, and it had swung out tens of times within a few breaths. Withdrawing his giant axe, Xia Xuan''s figure appeared thirty meters away from Yan Tie in a flash. His giant axe transformed into a spiritual energy and disappeared. On the other hand, Yan Tie currently knelt on one knee, the rocks on his body shattering to the ground, looking extremely miserable.

    "Brother." A voice suddenly sounded out, looking for the voice, only to see a middle-aged man who looked quite similar to Yan Tie, coming out from an unknown time.

    The man was called Rock Steel, Yan Tie''s biological brother. Normally, he would be in charge of the Dashi Branch in Meteorite City, but he never thought that Rock Steel would coincidentally be returning home to visit Yan Tie today.

    Rock Steel looked at Xia Xuan, fury burning in his eyes as he gathered the spiritual energy in his hands and charged towards Xia Xuan.

    "Stop." Yan Tie shouted to stop Rock Steel, then looked at Xia Xuan, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for showing mercy, we can still discuss for help, I hope that little brother will stop."

    Returning to the great hall, Yan Tie dismissed all the Black Man s, and had the servants bring in new tea. Yan Tie took a light sip of tea and said: "Today, it''s this little brother who is the first to show mercy despite being greedy, this little brother is truly impressed. For my little brother''s sake, I will definitely help you out."

    "Thank you for your benevolence and righteousness, clan leader Yan." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and bowed.

    After chatting with Yan Tie for a while, Xia Xuan strolled around Dashi, and after dinner, he returned back to the room that Yan Tie had arranged for him to rest.

    In the room, Xia Xuan meditated for four hours before slowly opening up the binocular. He looked at the door and said: "Please come in."

    Following Xia Xuan''s voice, Jiao Ling walked in with a basin of water and said: "Young Master Xia, you''ve worked hard. Do you want to take a bath and rest?"

    Xia Xuan frowned, and said: "Let the servants do these things, Miss Jiao. There is no need for you to do this."

    Jiao Ling placed the water basin beside Xia Xuan, found a chair and sat down. He looked at the moonlight on the ground, his eyes blurred, and said: "My Wyrm Flame Clan has met with such a disaster this time, if it wasn''t for Young Master Xia helping me, I really don''t know what would have happened. Tomorrow, we will be bringing our troops to the Wyrm Flame Clan, but we won''t be able to beat Uncle just relying on Dashi. Ling''er requests that Young Master Xia help out with all his strength, Ling''er is willing to repay you with his body. "

    Xia Xuan was surprised and quickly replied: "Miss Jiao Ling doesn''t need to be like this. I was originally asking for help from the Jiao Peng Clan''s Clan Leader.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Jiao Ling lowered his head, let out a soft "En" and ran out of the room with a red face.

    Outside the room, Yan Tie, Rock Steel and Ge Qing were seated around a stone table, drinking wine and tasting dishes, enjoying the moonlight. Seeing Jiao Ling run out of Xia Xuan''s room, Yan Tie and Yan Tie burst out laughing, but Ge Qing sighed, and said in his heart: "Silly girl."

    Xia Xuan walked out of the room, looked at Jiao Ling''s back, and then looked at Yan Tie and Yan Tie who were laughing loudly.

    "Little brother, come have a drink." Yan Tie said to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan came to the stone table and sat down. He took a sip of the wine and couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration.

    "Little brother, not only is Jiao Ling beautiful, he is also the daughter of the Wyrm Flame Clan''s Patriarch. Yan Tie smiled sinisterly at Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan chuckled, he drank a mouthful of good wine, then shook his head and said: "Forget it."

    The figure had a head of smooth black hair and was dressed in black. When facing strangers, he had a cold expression, as if he was a thousand miles away from everyone, but she was very gentle to him. Her smile seemed to bloom only for him, because that was a beauty that belonged to him.

    Xia Xuan nodded his head, his entire being lost in his thoughts.

    Chapter 30 - Broken White Tiger

    In the morning, Xia Xuan pushed open the door to his room and took a deep breath of fresh air.

    Arriving at the great hall at the center of the mansion, Xia Xuan realized that everyone was already seated, and it looked like they were all waiting for him. As they walked into the great hall, everyone''s gazes turned towards Xia Xuan. Immediately, they felt extremely awkward, but after finding a seat, they laughed at everyone.

    "Cough." Yan Tie coughed lightly, and said: "Since everyone is here, let us discuss business." With that, Yan Tie nodded towards Yan Tie, who then stood up with his hands behind his back, and said: "I have already summoned all of the people from the branch back, although they are still incomparable to Wyrm Flame Clan, but as long as little brother Xia Xuan is willing to help, I believe that they will be able to match up against Wyrm Flame Clan. What we need to worry about most right now is the White Tiger Pass, which is hard to defend, and we need to formulate a good plan to attack the city."

    That afternoon, tens of thousands of soldiers were walking on the road, scaring the citizens from everywhere into their houses.

    The White Tiger Pass was made up of two huge peaks. The Monarch of the Great Rock Country once said, "The White Tiger Twin Peaks can''t be compared to the Flying Geese, while the manpower can''t reach the White Tiger Pass."

    As the sky darkened, Yan Tie brought several tens of thousands of Dashi s to an extremely far away location from the White Tiger Pass. Looking at the fortress that was over a hundred meters tall and twenty meters thick between the two peaks of the White Tiger Pass, even someone as experienced as Ge Qing could only sigh.

    "I hope the plan works." Looking at the White Tiger Pass, Ge Qing sighed.

    Instead of letting all the Soldiers go to the White Tiger Pass, Yan Tie and Yan Tie brought a few Soldiers s to tie up Xia Xuan, Ge Qing, and Jiao Ling, and arrived in front of the White Tiger Pass.

    "Where is General Jiao Yong from the White Tiger Pass?" Yan Tie shouted towards the White Tiger Pass. Under the wrapping of the spiritual energy, his voice spread throughout the entire White Tiger Pass.

    Not long later, countless of Soldiers in the White Tiger Pass had bows and arrows in their hands, pointing straight at Yan Tie and the others. A middle-aged man dressed in gold armour and red robes appeared on top of the Wall, and shouted at Yan Tie: "Yan Clan Leader suddenly came to visit, what is it for?"

    "Yesterday, we caught Ge Qing and the other two, and heard that they are being captured by the Jiao Lin Family Patriarch, we wish to offer these three to the Flood Dragon Clan Patriarch, and hope that we can deepen the relationship between the two races." Yan Tie cupped his hands and said.

    "What''s going on?" A well-dressed man stepped onto the Wall, with his hands behind his back, he asked Jiao Yong.

    "Dashi Yan Tie has captured the three of them, and he wants to offer them to the patriarch, but this subordinate believes that there''s a trick." Jiao Yong hurriedly asked when he saw the man.

    The man extended his head out and upon seeing Jiao Ling, the binocular immediately lit up. He turned around and shouted to Jiao Yong, "Can''t you see that Miss Jiao Ling is down there? Hurry up and let them in."

    "Little brother, I know that you are extremely capable. Please save Jiao Ling." Ge Qing''s voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    Xia Xuan was confused and asked, "What''s going on?"

    "Just now, there was a man named Jiao Huan at the fort. He was the son of Jiao Lin and had fallen in love with Jiao Ling since a young age. This time, Jiao Lin is plotting to usurp power, and now that Jiao Huan is at the White Tiger Pass, I''m afraid something bad is about to happen. " Ge Qing said.

    "I''ll do my best." Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, the giant doors of the fort opened, and Jiao Huan and Jiao Yong ran out with a large number of Soldiers s. After sending Yan Tie and the others away, Jiao Huan walked into the fort with a smile on his face.

    Upon entering the fortress, Jiao Ling was brought away by a few Soldiers s. Seeing his teary face, and looking at him, Xia Xuan''s heart moved. He made a decision that he would save Jiao Ling even if he had to destroy the fortress.

    It was night. In a large room, Jiao Ling was sitting on a bed. The sound of weeping continuously sounded in the room.

    "Little sister Jiao Ling, in the past, I didn''t dare to do anything to you because of that old bastard Jiao Peng. But now, you can only obey me." Jiao Huan walked into the room drunk.

    Seeing Jiao Huan, Jiao Ling instinctively took a few steps back, the tears in his eyes flowing out, making people want to rub him into their arms and wipe them away.

    "Letting a girl cry is a huge crime." Xia Xuan''s voice suddenly sounded from inside the room. He turned around and saw Xia Xuan standing there with a smile and his eyes narrowed.

    "Why are you here? Come ˇ­" Without waiting for Jiao Huan to shout, Xia Xuan had already punched Jiao Huan''s stomach, immediately knocking him out.

    Xia Xuan arrived in front of Jiao Ling and extended his hand out, "If you cry, it won''t look good."

    Jiao Ling wiped away the tears on his face, placing one of his hands on Xia Xuan''s hand, and said "En" lightly.

    Leaving the room hand in hand with Jiao Ling, countless spiritual energy turned into a blood colored pike in Xia Xuan''s hands and a blood colored cape appeared.

    Countless Soldiers surrounded him quickly. Each of them was holding onto a Weapons, and there was no end in sight.

    Xia Xuan did not make a move, and allowed the countless Soldiers s to surround him. Countless people who looked exactly like Xia Xuan appeared out of thin air, and every "Xia Xuan" held a blood colored pike in their hands as they fought against the surrounding Soldiers s. Occasionally, one or two Soldiers s would come over and be blown away by Xia Xuan''s spear.

    Despite the chaos around them, Xia Xuan held onto Jiao Ling and walked forward.

    Looking at Xia Xuan who was walking in front, Jiao Ling felt his face burning, and a little deer was bumping against his chest. Although Xia Xuan was only twelve years old, his height and looks had long since reached the level of an adult. In the eyes of Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan was a mighty hero.

    When they arrived at the fortress, Jiao Ling saw that Yan Tie had already led the Dashi s to attack the city. Jiao Yong was bitterly guarding the city with his pitiful few Soldiers s, and all the reinforcements had long been blocked by Xia Xuan''s avatars.

    Xia Xuan waved his hands fiercely at Jiao Yong, and a ray of blood red spear light shot towards Jiao Yong in an aggressive manner. Even though Jiao Wu was powerful, he was sent flying a few meters back, and the surrounding normal Soldiers s all fell off their Wall s.

    Just then, a Xia Xuan clone brought Ge Qing in front of Xia Xuan, and nodded at him. Xia Xuan raised his hand high up, and with a clench of his fist, countless of clones exploded. The entire White Tiger Fortress was filled with miserable cries, the smell of blood was pungent to the nose.

    Very quickly, the White Tiger Pass was breached, and all of this was because of a twelve year old Teenage. With just a wave of his hand, the Teenage washed the White Tiger Fortress with blood, and even with Ge Qing''s experience, he had never seen a Teenage with such talent.

    and the other few hundred surviving Soldiers s were tied up, and many others were hung from Wall s. If they were to cut off the ropes, those Soldiers s would die.

    Xia Xuan came to the side of the Wall with a short blade in his hands and smiled coldly: "The Patriarch has been killed. As Soldiers, not only did you not know about your savior, you have also become the villain. Today, I will carry out justice for the heavens." After he finished speaking, the short blade in Xia Xuan''s hand turned into a streak of cold light and fell down like this.

    Jiao Huan looked at Xia Xuan''s smiling face, and his entire body broke out in a cold sweat.

 C31

    Chapter 31 - Growth

    The Great Rock Country had a mansion called the Flood Dragon Manor in Jiao Yan City, and the size of that mansion was far above that of Yan City. At this time, there were many people coming and going in the Flood Dragon Manor. A Soldiers rushed into the central hall and shouted: "Report!"

    "The White Tiger Pass has been broken." The Soldiers gasped and said as he knelt on one knee.

    "What!" All the people in the hall stood up abruptly, especially the middle-aged man sitting on the leader''s seat. This man was the current Patriarch of Wyrm Flame Clan, Jiao Lin, and also his father.

    "Then what about Jiao Huan?" the man asked hurriedly.

    "Go, your whereabouts are unknown." Hearing this, the man staggered and fell back into his chair. The binocular was in a daze, its mouth open wide, wanting to say something.

    "I told you before, Jiao Huan is too young, he shouldn''t be allowed to guard the White Tiger Pass, you just wouldn''t listen." The oldest Old Man stomped his feet ferociously, as if he hated the fact that he did not turn out to be good enough.

    "Send my order, gather all your power within the Wyrm Flame Clan and fight to the death with Ge Qing." The man gritted his teeth as he spoke.

    "Shut up, I''m the leader now. Those who disobey will die." The man shouted, and the terrifying spiritual energy erupted, turning the tables and chairs beside him into powder.

    "Don''t forget how you became the chief. We can give you a position, but we can also give you a position of subordinate." Old Man was not afraid in the slightest as he spoke while facing the man''s fury.

    Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and on Old Man''s neck, there was an additional wound, seeing Old Man''s figure that slowly fell to the ground, the other people in the palace all took two steps back, afraid that the man would go crazy and attack them. The man''s binocular was already blood-red. Staring at everyone in the hall, he said: "Those who disobey will die."

    The city was surrounded by walls that were tens of metres tall and ten metres thick. Wall were made of black gold stone, which was extremely rare and tough, even a Mystical King Ranker would not be able to destroy it.

    At this time, there were already a myriad of troops surrounding Jayan City, with Xia Xuan as the leader. The myriad of men and horses formed a giant eagle shape as the battle drums sounded out, deafening everyone.

    Jiao Lin brought a large number of Soldiers with him as he stood atop the Wall, his arrows releasing a cold glow straight towards the Soldiers, but from the sweat on the heads of the Soldiers s, it could be seen that they were extremely nervous.

    "Attack the city." Xia Xuan bellowed, and immediately, an army of thousands charged straight for the Wall, the war drum was high, like a primordial beast from ancient times, some of the weaker Soldiers s immediately peed their piss due to fear, and some even fainted on the spot.

    The current Xia Xuan was impressively like a king in the wind. He thought back to the past, when he was the strongest Divine General of the The Divine Realm, he commanded millions of Ares-class, and he also had a few hundred Divine Masters, as well as several Divine Generals following him. The him at that time was just like the him now, in high spirits, attracting the gazes of countless goddesses.

    "Release the arrows." With Jiao Lin''s order, and along with "whoosh whoosh" sounds, the sky turned pitch black and a myriad of arrows shot out. It was truly a spectacular sight.

    Xia Xuan ignored everything, as though he did not see the rain of arrows. The blood colored pike congealed in his hand, and a blood colored cape appeared.

    Seeing Xia Xuan on his stallion, Jiao Lin''s binocular turned blood-red. Holding his sword, dressed in his armor, he immediately jumped down from the Wall, shocking everyone around his. Landing outside the city, Jiao Lin directly rushed towards Xia Xuan, and in the process, even if there was a Soldiers blocking him, he would be slashed by the blade, the power in the blade was extremely shocking.

    Although the two armies were separated by thousands of meters, Xia Xuan and Jiao Lin only used less than a minute to clash head on. Spear and sword clashed, and the terrifying imposing manner directly sent several surrounding Soldiers flying.

    With a swing of his sword, the pike flew towards the horse leg. The horse could not stop at all. Everything happened in an instant. The surrounding Soldiers could only see Xia Xuan and Jiao Lin brushing past each other as the surrounding people were sent flying and the legs of the warhorses were sliced off as well.

    The warhorse fell, and under the effect of inertia, Xia Xuan rolled on the ground for close to 10 metres before stopping.

    "Your aura must be at least Second class Xuan Zun, why is it so weak?" Jiao Lin held the longsword in his hand and looked at Xia Xuan proudly.

    "Hahaha." Xia Xuan crawled up from the ground, covered his face with one hand and laughed out loud. "Xia Xuan" slowly turned into sand and scattered into the wind.

    Jiao Lin was startled, this "Xia Xuan" was actually only a clone, but the clone''s aura had reached Second class Xuan Zun, then how terrifying was her real body?

    The other thought was that Jiao Huan, who had been left on the battlefield, would only end up losing his life. The other thought was that there was a high chance that the unaccounted for Jiao Huan, had already been killed, and Jiao Huan was his only son. What he was doing right now, was fighting for Jiao Huan, so even if his son was dead, there was no meaning for him to live.

    Even though his thoughts were conflicting, Jiao Lin knew that what he needed to do now was take revenge. The Xia Xuan right now was definitely behind him.

    Just as he turned around and was about to use the longsword to fight Xia Xuan, a blood light flashed and Jiao Lin was sent flying dozens of meters away. When he came to Jiao Lin''s side, Xia Xuan did not take the pike, but held a blood-colored long rod instead. It was clear that Xia Xuan did not want to kill Jiao Lin. His goal was to capture Jiao Lin alive.

    "Why didn''t you kill me?" Jiao Lin looked at Xia Xuan fiercely, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

    Xia Xuan didn''t reply. Jiao Lin continued to speak, "Don''t think that you can threaten the Wyrm Flame Clan just by capturing me. There''s still the various Great Elders in the city."

    "Do you think those elders follow you loyally?" Xia Xuan sneered.

    Jiao Lin clenched his teeth, and was about to rush to the horse, who was still galloping at full speed, but Xia Xuan knocked him down to the ground with his rod, and said coldly: "If you die, what about Jiao Huan? I have already exiled Jiao Huan to the desert, whether or not I can save him is up to you. " With that said, Xia Xuan kept his rod and didn''t bother about Jiao Lin anymore.

    Jiao Lin crawled up from the ground, a few glimmers appeared in his eyes, and he shouted at Xia Xuan: "I''ll remember this." He then ran off into the distance, but there was no anger or hatred on his face. Instead, there was a trace of a smile.

    Xia Xuan raised his head and looked towards the sky, thinking that when had a dignified Deicide like him let off his enemies on the battlefield, it had truly changed. Deicide put away his murderous heart, no longer knowing how to kill, but instead, displaying his killing intent was even more terrifying than before. He, who had killed countless enemies in The Divine Realm, had long not known what growth was. Now, he had reincarnated and grown.

    Xia Xuan could not help but laugh as he put away his armor. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards Jiao Yan City.

 C32

    Chapter 32 - Marriage Contract

    Inside Jiao Yan City Palace, Xia Xuan, Ge Qing, Yan Tie, Yan Tie and the rest were seated, while all the clan elders were standing in the middle of the hall.

    A middle-aged man around forty years old walked into the main hall. His lips were still pale, obviously still injured.

    Upon seeing the middle aged man enter the hall, all the clan elders immediately knelt down, without the slightest hesitation, while Xia Xuan and the rest quickly stood up and cupped their hands: "Greetings Clan Chief Jiao." This middle-aged man was actually the patriarch of the Wyrm Flame Clan, Jiao Ling''s father, Jiao Peng. After being poisoned, Jiao Peng had been imprisoned in the prison and had not been rescued for long.

    "Brother Yan Tie, it has been a while since we last met." Jiao Peng greeted Yan Tie and Yan Tie before arriving in front of Xia Xuan, cupping his hands and saying, "I presume this is Little Brother Xia Xuan, I am extremely grateful to you for getting Little Brother''s help in the great calamity that has befallen my Wyrm Flame Clan." After he finished speaking, Jiao Peng was about to kneel down.

    Xia Xuan hastily supported Jiao Peng, saying, "It''s nothing much."

    Jiao Peng came in front of Ge Qing after chatting with him for a while. Looking at Ge Qing''s aged face, Jiao Peng''s eyes could not help but start watering up. He nodded towards Ge Qing, but Jiao Peng did not say anything. In Jiao Peng''s heart, he could only say one thing: With Ge Qing, the Wyrm Flame Clan would be reborn and strengthen.

    He sat at the first seat in the great hall and looked at the elders with a sharp gaze. Jiao Peng said in a stern voice, "All the elders want to test themselves, they should be beheaded, but considering how you have been working hard for the Wyrm Flame Clan for so many years, it''s fine if you behead them."

    "Thank you, clan leader." After hearing that they could avoid death, the elders hurriedly kowtowed to express their thanks.

    "However, you will be exempted from the death penalty. You will be fined three years'' salary." Jiao Peng said again.

    All the elders could not help but cry out in their hearts. This rebellion was all instigated by Jiao Lin, they thought that they would definitely earn a lot of money, but they ended up like this, now they were truly dumb and could not say anything, no matter how bitter they were.

    Just as Jiao Peng was about to leave after chatting with Xia Xuan and the others for a while, one of the elders suddenly leapt up and stabbed at Jiao Peng with a short blade in his hand.

    Jiao Peng was shocked. Just as he was about to activate the spiritual energy''s defense, his old injuries suddenly reappeared and he covered his chest with a painful expression. Seeing that the short blade was already in front of Jiao Peng, but one of its hands suddenly blocked in front of Jiao Peng, when the short blade stabbed that hand, blood instantly flowed profusely.

    Unknowingly, Xia Xuan had already arrived in front of Jiao Peng and used his hand to block him. His face was filled with pain.

    The elder who was about to kill Jiao Peng saw that his assassination attempt had failed and immediately released his short blade. He staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a face full of fear.

    "I''m not convinced. If it wasn''t for this brat, I would have definitely become the Second Elder." After that, the man was about to crawl up from the ground, but a cold light flashed and the short blade that had pierced Xia Xuan''s palm flew past the elder''s neck, before he could even react, it had fallen to the ground with its eyes wide open.

    The other clan elder who was about to assassinate Xia Xuan immediately turned and ran out of the hall, but Xia Xuan simply clenched his fist, and a blood colored big hand grabbed ahold of him.

    "Even if I become a ghost, I won''t let you off." That elder loudly yelled and his body kept on expanding. Not long after, he became a huge balloon and that elder actually wanted to self-destruct. Seeing that the elder was about to self-destruct without a word, Xia Xuan immediately swung his hand, and the elder was flung dozens of meters away.

    BOOM! With a huge explosion, even though the elder was thrown far away, the aftermath of the explosion still shook many tables and chairs in the palace.

    Jiao Ling immediately walked forward and grabbed Xia Xuan''s arm. When he saw the bone visible wound on Xia Xuan''s hand, he immediately tore off a piece of clothing and treated Xia Xuan''s wound, then anxiously said: "Quickly go and see a doctor, what are you waiting for."

    After she finished speaking, only then did Jiao Ling realize that Xia Xuan''s gaze that was fixated on her did not change at all. Looking at the surrounding people, she discovered that everyone was staring at her in a daze. He could not help but blush as he lowered his head, not daring to say another word. Thinking that she, Jiao Ling, was the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Wyrm Flame Clan, even if they were close friends, they would not hesitate to tear off her clothes to treat her wounds.

    "Hahaha ˇ­" The entire crowd burst into laughter, and Jiao Ling hurriedly ran away in embarrassment.

    At night, Xia Xuan sat in a courtyard, drank fine wine, ate small dishes, and admired the moonlight. At this time, he thought of his hometown in the distance, thought of Xia Cha, thought of Wang Hao and the others, and also thought of her, whom he had not seen since his reincarnation.

    "Little brother, why are you drinking alone here?" Jiao Peng slowly walked to Xia Xuan''s side.

    "Homesick." Xia Xuan chuckled and said.

    "I heard from Elder Ge that little brother has a request for me?" Jiao Peng asked.

    Hearing Jiao Peng''s words, Xia Xuan''s hand that was holding the cup of wine trembled, and his gaze towards Jiao Peng immediately became serious. Putting down the wine cup, the smile on his face disappeared. With a solemn voice that didn''t sound like a twelve-year-old child, he asked, "Clan Leader Jiao, do you know why your Flood Dragon Manor was built here?"

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s question, the smile on Jiao Peng''s face similarly disappeared, and his gaze towards Xia Xuan was filled with vigilance. He stroked his chin with one hand, as if he didn''t know what to say.

    Xia Xuan laughed and said: "Three hundred years ago, the first generation Patriarch of the Wyrm Flame Clan passed by this place and came across a meteorite, and the one that came into view was a pike. The spear was three meters long and the black dragon coiled around it, its aura was extremely powerful, it was actually a divine instrument."

    "How do you know?" Jiao Peng stared at Xia Xuan as the spiritual energy in his hand secretly condensed.

    "Not only do I know this, I also know that the spear is called the flamethrower. It was originally my Weapons." As Xia Xuan spoke, he took another gulp of wine, and looked at Jiao Peng with eyes as deep as the starry sky.

    "To be honest, the flamethrower was sealed here by our ancestor, it is afraid that it will fly into the sky, but the seal is weakening, if little brother can take it away, it would be good for our clan." After saying that, Jiao Peng''s gaze towards Xia Xuan suddenly became vulgar, and said: "However, can little brother agree to a request from this dragon?"

    Seeing Jiao Peng''s vulgar face, Xia Xuan''s body unconsciously leaned backwards, and said in fear: "What request?"

    "Hehe, make a marriage contract with my daughter." Jiao Peng chuckled, appearing even more wretched.

    "We need Miss Jiao Ling to agree to this kind of thing." After Xia Xuan finished speaking, he felt that it was not so good.

    "I do." Jiao Ling suddenly jumped into the courtyard, but when she saw Xia Xuan and Jiao Peng looking at her, her face reddened. She covered her face, lowered her head and ran off.

    Xia Xuan and Jiao Peng looked at each other and laughed awkwardly. With their strength, they had naturally sensed that Jiao Ling was outside the courtyard eavesdropping, so when Xia Xuan finished speaking, they felt that it was not good.

    After a moment of silence, Xia Xuan made up his mind.

 C33

    "Truth be told, this one has long been a subordinate to you. However, if you wish to become siblings with Miss Jiao Ling, this one will definitely agree to it." Xia Xuan said, his voice was extremely determined.

    Jiao Peng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "Alright."

    Afterwards, Jiao Peng and Xia Xuan started to taste the good wine together, enjoying the moonlight, chatting happily one night.

    The next day, in the mountain behind the Flood Dragon Manor, Xia Xuan, Jiao Peng, Ge Qing, and Jiao Ling stood in a circle with a patch of grass in the middle of them. Jiao Peng waved his hand and the grass that was blown away by the spiritual energy was lifted off the ground, revealing a piece of floor. Jiao Peng quickly pressed a few times on the floor, and the floor slowly moved, forming a secret path.

    "Little brother, can this flamethrower really help raise Ling''er''s cultivation?" Jiao Peng asked Xia Xuan.

    "I can do it. I will teach my sister a cultivation method called the Dragon''s Heart Method. If I absorb the flood dragon''s fire energy that the flamethrower has accumulated for so many years, I can at least raise my Xuanhuang to the fifth grade." Xia Xuan nodded and said.

    He lowered his head, not daring to look at Xia Xuan. He thought about how he suddenly jumped out last night, only to end up with a brother and sister result, if he saw Xia Xuan again today, even if Xia Xuan was as thick-skinned as a Wall, he would still feel embarrassed, not to mention that Jiao Ling was a young miss of gold.

    "That would be great." Jiao Peng and Ge Qing were all smiles. One must know that Jiao Ling was only fifteen years old now, and her fifteen years old Xuanhuang had never appeared even in the entire Great Yan Nation. How could Jiao Peng and Ge Qing not be happy about this?

    "It''s getting late, so elder sister and I will go down first." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Jiao Peng and Ge Qing, then pulled Jiao Ling and walked down the secret path.

    Without a trace of light, considering Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan did not walk very fast. Jiao Ling walked behind Xia Xuan silently, even in the midst of the darkness, but when he felt the warmth from Xia Xuan''s palm, he was not afraid. Instead, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

    The secret passage was slightly wet, and the dripping sound of water on the secret passage could be heard. Afraid that Jiao Ling would fall down, Xia Xuan slowed down his pace once again.

    "What kind of person do you like?" Jiao Ling was the first to break the silence.

    Xia Xuan stared blankly, but there was also nostalgia and sadness in his eyes. He spoke with a slightly somber voice: "She is the most beautiful woman in this world, her every figure, every smile, every sentence, they were all deeply engraved in my mind. In my heart, she is no goddess, she is my wife, she is only an ordinary person who needs my protection. After I fell that time, she did not hesitate to enter the cycle of reincarnation. For her, I am willing to give up everything, including my life. "

    Suddenly, a soft body pressed against Xia Xuan''s back, startling him. The low, almost inaudible voice of Jiao Ling rang out, "What if you can''t find her?"

    "Then keep on searching. If she can''t be found in this life, in the next, then find her for all eternity." Xia Xuan said with a determined voice.

    Jiao Ling slowly took two steps back and rubbed the moist binocular. A smile appeared on his face and he said with a slightly sobbing voice, "Elder sister wishes that you can find her as soon as possible."

    Seeing the forced smile on Jiao Ling''s face and hearing the sobs in his voice, Xia Xuan''s heart ached. If not for the fact that he had her in his heart, he probably would have agreed to the marriage.

    Not knowing what to say, Xia Xuan nodded, and continued to walk forward while holding onto Jiao Ling''s hand.

    After about four hours, Xia Xuan could vaguely see a bit of light. When he turned to look at Jiao Ling, he realized that he was already panting, so he immediately asked: "Do you want to rest?"

    Jiao Ling clenched his teeth and firmly looked into the distance. "There''s no need. We''re almost there."

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan carried Jiao Ling, scaring his to the point that he let out an "Ah!".

    "What are you holding yourself up for? Is it fun to tire yourself out?" With that, Xia Xuan walked towards the light. Right now, she felt that she was very happy. If she could, she really hoped that she could stop now, but when she thought about how they could only be siblings, she could not help but feel a burst of pain in her heart, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

    After a while, Xia Xuan brought Jiao Ling to the end of the tunnel, but when he stepped out, he was stunned. Not only was Xia Xuan stunned, even Jiao Ling was stunned. At the end of the tunnel was a stretch of mines, where there were various ores. In the center of the cave was a lake, and whether it was the lake or the ore, all of them flickered with different colors of light, whether it was the lake or the ore, they were all weirdly shaped ores, different types of light, the tranquil lake water, and the occasional "tick" sound of water dropping into the lake from time to time.

    After a long while, Xia Xuan and Jiao Ling said in unison, "So beautiful."

    Jumping down from Xia Xuan''s back, Yao Long Ling ran around the cave. Just looking at it, it was as though she was a butterfly that had entered a garden. Laughter continued to ring around in the cave.

    Looking at the laughing Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile. Although it was just a smile, it was a rare sincere smile since he had reincarnated. As a Deicide, he naturally wished for revenge at all times. But as a Xia Xuan, he had indeed entered into a person''s heart, and that person''s name was Jiao Ling.

    Jiao Ling ran towards Xia Xuan holding a shiny ore and shouted, "Xia Xuan, quickly look at this rock. It''s so beautiful."

    Xia Xuan slowly walked towards Jiao Ling with a gentle smile on his face. He felt that the current Jiao Ling was like a child and couldn''t help but want to take care of her.

    Suddenly, Jiao Ling tripped over a rock and fell forward. Xia Xuan coincidentally happened to arrive in front of his and was thrown down by Jiao Ling.

    Although Jiao Ling was three years older than Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan''s height was not lower than his. With this fall, Jiao Ling''s entire body fell onto Xia Xuan''s, especially when their lips just so happened to touch.

    Jiao Ling quickly got up from the ground, his small face as red as an apple. Clutching her face, he walked towards the lake shore and continuously washed her face with the lake water, hoping that he could calm down.

    Xia Xuan crawled up from the ground, his expression lifeless. He stared blankly at Jiao Ling who was washing his face with the lake water, and didn''t know what to do for a moment.

    After she finished washing her face, Jiao Ling stood up and turned to look at Xia Xuan, who was not far away.

    Suddenly, a huge flood dragon rushed out from the bottom of the lake, opening its bloody maw and wanting to bite down on the flood dragon''s head.

    With a flash of blood light, the great dragon bit down on the boulder, causing the boulder to shatter into pieces. When it looked towards the side, its eyes were filled with panic, only to see Xia Xuan wearing a set of blood colored armor, holding onto the dragon''s bell, staring at the great dragon with eyes that were surging with anger.

    The large dragon could not help but shrink his head and dive into the lake, following that, a black scale lance flew out from the lake. The pike floated in front of Xia Xuan, its spear body continuously trembled, and a wave of special spiritual energy fluctuations spread out, he immediately knew what this fluctuation meant. It seemed like the black scale lance was admitting its wrongs to Xia Xuan, and not only that, it also seemed to be telling Xia Xuan something.

 C34

    Chapter 34 - Flood Dragon Flames

    "There won''t be a next time." Xia Xuan said coldly as the black scale lance turned into a black shadow and entered Xia Xuan''s sleeves. Raising his sleeves, he saw a black pike pattern on his hand, and the pike was even surrounded by a black dragon pattern. Looking at the pattern on his hand, Xia Xuan could not help but rejoice in his heart. He thought to himself, The flamethrower is finally back.

    "Are you alright?" Xia Xuan looked at Jiao Ling, who was in his arms, and asked with concern.

    Jiao Ling buried his head into Xia Xuan''s embrace, his soft sobbing sounds resounding.

    "Alright, other than this flood dragon, there are no other spirit beast in this cave." Xia Xuan patted Jiao Ling''s head and said lovingly.

    Jiao Ling raised his head and looked at Xia Xuan with a teary face, his delicate and touching voice asking, "Really?" Xia Xuan smiled slightly and dried Jiao Ling''s eyes. He then placed his on the ground and complained, "Why does the big sister that others have always been in charge of protecting my brother, this big sister, do you still need my brother''s protection?"

    Suddenly, a small fist struck Xia Xuan''s chest, causing Jiao Ling to walk towards the side with a red face.

    After walking to the side of the mines, Xia Xuan randomly picked up a piece of ore. After taking a closer look, he couldn''t help but be astonished, these were not ores at all, but rather pieces of spiritual energy s that had been compressed to a high degree. If the ore in his hands were to be diluted, it would at least be comparable to a first grade Xuanzun''s internal spiritual energy, and if all the ores in this mines were to explode together, even with his current strength, he would have a 90% chance of death.

    There were three gates in Tian Lin Continent''s body, called the Four Directions Sect and the Two Elements of Creation Gate. Those who opened the two gates were called the Two Elements of Creation Formation and the Two Elements Formation was divided into the extreme yin and the extreme yang. The extreme yang could touch the Nirvana Gate and open the Nirvana Gate, which meant the Nirvana would become a god once their cultivation broke through the Nirvana and become a god that would fly to the The Divine Realm. Right now, Xia Xuan had only opened the Four Symbols Gate, the patriarch of the Wyrm Flame Clan was at least a strong expert who had opened the Nirvana Gate.

    Xia Xuan swallowed his saliva, looking at the mines''s ore, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of fear. If the ore in this hole exploded, then the entire Great Yan Nation would probably disappear into thin air. He wondered what Jiao Peng would think if he knew that he had been living on a giant bomb all his life.

    When she arrived beside Jiao Ling, she was so scared that she immediately threw down the ore in her hands after hearing about mines''s situation. She held onto Xia Xuan, not daring to touch the ore again.

    "I didn''t expect these beautiful ores to be so dangerous." As she said that, Jiao Ling, who was hugging Xia Xuan, could not help but tighten her grip.

    "Don''t be afraid, as long as we don''t deliberately use spiritual energy to attack these ores, they won''t explode." Xia Xuan patted Jiao Ling, and said as if he was coaxing a child.

    "Yes." Jiao Ling nodded and slowly released Xia Xuan. The binocular stared at the ore but did not dare touch it, afraid that it would explode, causing the entire Great Yan Nation to regret their actions.

    Looking at Jiao Ling''s child''s appearance, Xia Xuan could not help but shake his head, and laughed: "It''s getting late, quickly absorb the dragon''s fire Qi."

    Looking around, Jiao Ling did not see any kind of dragon fire qi. He curiously asked, "Where is the fire qi?" Xia Xuan slowly walked to the lakeside, pointing at the clear water of the lake, his face filled with mystery.

    "Could it be the water?" When Jiao Ling arrived at the lakeside and saw the lake''s clear water, he felt a great sense of foreboding.

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan nodded his head, then said: "Circulate the Serpent''s Heart Technique, and then just soak in the water."

    "What about the clothes?" Jiao Ling could not help but blush, not knowing what to do.

    Xia Xuan went in front of Jiao Ling, and with a tap of his finger, a wave of spiritual energy entered Jiao Ling''s brain. Xia Xuan walked to the side and said, "The cultivation method of the Evil Dragon Flame Technique has already been transmitted to your mind. As for the clothes, you can wear them and enter the lake.

    Hearing that, Jiao Ling''s face immediately turned red, was he going to be naked in front of Xia Xuan? Thinking of that scene, Jiao Ling''s face couldn''t help but turn as hot as boiling water.

    Suddenly, a ''splash'' sound was heard. Xia Xuan knew that Jiao Ling had already entered the water, and the image of him entering the water involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Even with Xia Xuan''s thick skin, he couldn''t help but blush.

    Walking about the shore in boredom and occasionally looking at the slightly rippling lake surface, he couldn''t help but worry. Jiao Ling had already been in the water for nearly six hours, with the power of the dragon''s flame qi, she probably wouldn''t be able to hold on for a long time. If not for the occasional ripples coming out from the lake, Xia Xuan would have thought that Jiao Ling had already been burnt to ashes by the Evil Dragon''s Flame Qi.

    "No, I have to go down and take a look." Xia Xuan paced back and forth on the shore for another two hours. Seeing that Jiao Ling still did not make a move, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but to place a heavy burden on his heart. He couldn''t help but walk to the lakeside, but when he thought about how Jiao Ling was naked right now, he hesitated.

    "We can''t wait any longer." Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, made up his mind, and jumped into the lake. When he entered the water, there was a "splash" as the water splashed up several dozen times.

    After entering the water, all of Xia Xuan''s clothes immediately turned into ashes. If not for Xia Xuan''s timely usage of the Endless Divine Flame Technique, he would have become a part of the lake water even if he was as strong as Xia Xuan.

    From the surface of the lake, the lake was probably only a small lake less than three meters deep, but after entering the lake, they realized that the lake was so deep that they couldn''t see the bottom.

    Xia Xuan could not help but gulp. When he looked over, he did not see Jiao Ling, which meant that he had reached an extremely deep place, how could he have reached the bottom of the lake with his low cultivation?

    After cursing himself in his heart, Xia Xuan spurted out his fists as he was pushed towards the bottom of the lake.

    Very quickly, a naked jade body appeared in front of him. Xia Xuan increased his speed, and quickly arrived in front of Jiao Ling, rubbing his in his arms. Looking at the pain on his face, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but blame himself once again. With Jiao Ling in his arms, he turned around and charged straight for the lake''s surface.

    After an unknown amount of time, Jiao Ling slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Xia Xuan''s concerned face. Looking at the face that was already engraved in his mind, a smile actually appeared on Jiao Ling''s face. With a slightly weak voice, he said, "I knew you would come and save me. Just as I was about to faint, I saw you charging towards me."

    "You can still smile. Do you know how worried I am about you? "Don''t force yourself if you can''t hold on, it''s not like anyone is forcing you." Xia Xuan said in a voice filled with anger.

    "Aren''t you protecting him?" The sound was even softer than before.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan''s mouth landed on Jiao Ling''s mouth, causing his to stare in shock, but he did not resist, allowing Xia Xuan to kiss his instead.

    Promise me that you won''t do this again. I''m very afraid of losing you. I''m afraid that I won''t be able to protect you. Xia Xuan hugged Jiao Ling, his voice sobbing. Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the Wyrm Bell binocular became absent-minded, as it did not understand the situation.

 C35

    Chapter 35 - Farewell

    It had been a while since Xia Xuan and Jiao Ling had entered the tunnel, but there was still no news of them. Although the flamethrower was Xia Xuan''s Weapons, it was a former world where the reincarnated Xia Xuan was no longer comparable to back then, and it was not certain that the flamethrower would continue to follow him. After all, the flamethrower had its own pride and arrogance.

    "Why isn''t he out yet? Could something have happened?" Jiao Peng anxiously said as he paced back and forth.

    Ge Qing sat by a stone table. Although he was also anxious, he was not like Jiao Peng. With his vast experience, he was able to calm himself down, and quietly sampled the tea in his hand. Only when he looked at the floor, did he have that look in his eyes when the old man looked at the young man.

    Just as Jiao Peng was about to enter the passage, Xia Xuan walked out of the passage with Jiao Ling on his back. Once he got out of the passage, Xia Xuan sat down on the ground and panted as he said, "You''re so heavy."

    Hearing this, Jiao Ling immediately used his small fists to beat Xia Xuan up, giving him a feeling of flirting.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan and Jiao Ling were not only fine, but also alive and kicking, as if their relationship had become closer, the heavy burden in his heart was immediately lifted. Jiao Peng and Ge Qing looked at each other in the eye, then burst out laughing.

    Xia Xuan stood up, patted his clothes, and said to Jiao Peng seriously: "Clan Leader Jiao, there is something I need to tell you."

    Jiao Peng and Ge Qing looked at each other for a moment. When they arrived at the stone table with Xia Xuan, Jiao Peng said, "Whatever it is, little brother, please speak."

    Xia Xuan nodded and then explained the situation of the mines. After finding out that he had always been living on a giant bomb, Jiao Peng felt a sense of lingering fear.

    "Don''t worry, I have already stabilized the pressure on the spiritual energy. As long as all of you can mine and process the entire mines within three days, not only will these ores not be a threat, they will actually be very strong Weapons." Xia Xuan explained.

    Hearing this, Jiao Peng and Ge Qing were overjoyed. Other than those experts who had opened the Two Elements of Creation Formation, who else could instantly destroy the entire Great Yan Nation?

    "I''m going to gather the trustworthy people to mine right now." With that, Jiao Peng and Ge Qing disappeared in a flash.

    Xia Xuan went over to Jiao Ling''s side and caressed his little head, saying in a gentle voice, "Don''t blame him for not asking about your cultivation level. As the Clan Leader, the higher your cultivation level, the happier he will be for you, but as a father, he definitely hopes for you to live a happy life peacefully. And the one he is currently playing is your father."

    Jiao Ling looked up and saw that the binocular was still crying. It looked at Xia Xuan and forced a smile.

    Not long after, Jiao Peng and Ge Qing brought over ten of their trusted tribesmen to the courtyard. After hearing about the mining method and processing method Xia Xuan mentioned, they each picked up a shovel and axe, and entered the mines to start mining secretly. Standing not far away from the passage, Jiao Peng looked at the carts of ores that were being delivered out of the passage. The brush in his hands was constantly recorded in his book, while Xia Xuan stood beside him in silence.

    "What is Ling''er''s cultivation level?" Jiao Peng suddenly asked, while Xia Xuan was stunned by his question.

    Looking at Jiao Peng''s back, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a little sad in his heart. Xia Cha should be the same as Jiao Peng, wishing that he could live a peaceful life.

    "What kind of relationship do you have with Ling''Er now?" Jiao Peng suddenly asked, causing Xia Xuan to instantly break out in a cold sweat, and his body unconsciously retreated backwards.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s reaction, Jiao Peng smiled slightly and said, "The clothes you wore when you went in and the clothes you wore when you came out were different. Did nothing happen to you guys?" Once again, Xia Xuan was rendered speechless by Jiao Peng. It did not matter if he said that they had a relationship, but it did mean that something had happened. This made Xia Xuan not know what to say.

    "As a Deicide, my heart is always thinking about revenge, but as a Homo sapiens, I actually like Jiao Ling." Xia Xuan took a deep breath and said.

    "When are you leaving?" Jiao Peng asked again.

    "Tonight, I don''t want to see her crying face." Xia Xuan said as he raised his head to look at the sky, an indescribable emotion surging in his heart, he really did not want to leave her, but for his country, he had no choice but to leave, he needed more power, if necessary, his country and his loved ones would be destroyed by the The Divine King''s Mansion.

    "Ai, if you''re still thinking about her when you come back and finish fighting, I don''t mind you two being together." With that, Jiao Peng began to record again.

    It was night. Xia Xuan had tidied up his clothes, and just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard he lived in, his body suddenly jerked, and he saw Jiao Ling standing outside the courtyard with his back against the wall. The slightly wet and red binocular looked at Xia Xuan who was about to walk out of the courtyard.

    Xia Xuan pulled back his foot that had already taken half a step forward, scratched his head with one hand and turned his head to the side, not knowing what to say.

    "He left just like that?" Jiao Ling stared at Xia Xuan and asked.

    Xia Xuan took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, Jiao Ling said: "Have you had enough? It''s almost winter. Have you brought enough clothes? Don''t complain that I, as your big sister, don''t know how to take care of you. "

    Xia Xuan stared blankly at Jiao Ling, his gaze filled with puzzlement. However, Jiao Ling turned his head to the side and no longer looked at Xia Xuan. He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted, pretending to be angry.

    Xia Xuan looked at Jiao Ling''s expression, although he felt sad in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Don''t worry, your brother will take good care of himself." With that said, Xia Xuan stuffed a storage pouch into Jiao Ling''s hands and walked far away.

    Looking at the embroidered bag in her hands, and then looking at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure, she couldn''t hold back any longer. Tears gushed out of her eyes, and she held her mouth with both of her hands to prevent herself from crying. Xia Xuan was also full of tears, but he still continued to walk with big strides, not even sparing a glance at Jiao Ling. As a man, he could not turn back, because as long as he looked back, he would not be able to leave, even if he was about to cry.

    Jiao Peng arrived beside Jiao Ling and saw that he was already sobbing. He couldn''t help but sigh. He patted his shoulder and said, "Open the brocade sack and take a look. Maybe you''ll be better off."

    Hearing Jiao Peng''s words, Jiao Ling immediately opened the brocade sack and only saw a note inside. She opened the note and only saw a single line on it ˇŞ I will definitely come back and marry you after the sixth remembrance year.

    Jiao Ling suddenly burst out into laughter, tightly scuttled through the note, and shouted towards the direction that Xia Xuan left in, "Xia Xuan, you big idiot."

    In a mountain forest in the Great Yan Nation, a man stood on a tree branch, looking at the full moon in the sky, then he glanced at the Black Man behind him, and coldly said: "Is the news reliable?"

    "Absolutely." Black Man bowed and said respectfully.

    "Hmph, that idiot Qiu Min, to think that he still had the power of the Celestial King, to the point that he couldn''t even deal with a reincarnated Deicide. With that, the man looked at the moon with bloodshot eyes.

 C36

    Chapter 36 - Inviting a Lord (1)

    There was a Forest in the Great Yan Nation called the Star Swallowing Forest. Legend has it that there was once a Star Swallowing Forest that was besieged by hundreds of Ares-class. That spirit beast swallowed all of them in a fit of rage, causing this group of Forest to become famous.

    At this time, Xia Xuan was inside a cave in Forest. The surrounding spiritual energy had turned into a whirlpool above his head, and countless spiritual energy entered his body through the whirlpool. As the spiritual energy rushed in, Xia Xuan''s aura slowly rose. Finally, with a sound like glass shattering, Xia Xuan''s aura successfully reached the first stage Mystical King.

    Xia Xuan clenched his hand, felt the spiritual energy in his body, and couldn''t help but shake his head, saying: "Although relying on the Deicide''s Soul will allow me to temporarily have the power of Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor, my own strength is too weak, I need to think of a way to improve myself, and it seems that I have to go there."

    After exiting the Star Swallowing Forest, Xia Xuan randomly found a tavern in the city closest to the Star Swallowing Forest, and found a seat close to the window.

    "Sigh, have you heard, the entire clan of Wyrm Flame Clan, one of the Five Great Clans, has been captured, their captors shouted that unless a person called Xia Xuan goes to save them, even if the entire Great Yan Nation goes to save them, it would be useless." While he was drinking the wine, a burly man at a nearby table said loudly.

    Suddenly, the bowl in Xia Xuan''s hand and the table in front of him instantly turned into powder, the flamethrower directly appeared in his hands, the blood red armor condensed on his body, Deicide''s soul immediately erupted, the aura of the ninth stage of Xuanzun immediately suppressed the surrounding people until they were unable to breathe.

    After throwing a bag of gold coins to the Scophthalmus as compensation for the table, Xia Xuan slowly walked forward. However, the surrounding people only saw Xia Xuan take a step forward, then disappeared without a trace.

    On top of the Wall of Jiao Yan City, two Black Man s were holding onto pike, lazily watching the yellow sand flying around outside the city.

    "Do you think that Xia Xuan will really come?" One of the Black Man asked the other one.

    "I think he doesn''t dare to come this time, our Martial Palace has nearly a hundred Xuanhuang disciples this time, and even about ten of them, especially Big Senior, who has already broken through to the first stage of the Mysterious Sect. That Xia Xuan might be the reincarnation of the Deicide, but his strength has long ago changed since the past, if he comes, wouldn''t he be walking right into a trap?" The other Black Man said confidently, as if he was very confident in his comrades.

    "But I heard that the relationship between and the daughter of the Wyrm Flame Clan''s Patriarch is unclear." The Black Man said again.

    "Hmph. Couples are originally in the same forest as one another, and when a disaster strikes, they will each fly. Besides, they will only be lovers." With that said, the Black Man leaned against the Wall and sat down, closing his eyes and falling asleep. Seeing that Black Man was so relaxed, that Black Man also felt helpless, and could only watch by himself.

    Just as Black Man was feeling a little sleepy while guarding, a light suddenly flashed in the sky, Black Man wanted to take a careful look, to see that the light was already in front of him. Originally, it was a black scale lance, but if he did not look carefully, he would not be able to see that it was a pike, the pike that was wrapped in the spiritual energy was like a real dragon, in a blink of an eye it had already struck the Wall, and the Wall that was made of the black gold stone building was immediately missing a large hole.

    Countless experts flew out from the city, and many of them looked at the big hole, only to see a red armor, holding onto a black scale lance, his entire body was filled with killing intent like a soaring dragon, and every time he took a step, a deep footprint would appear on the ground beneath his feet.

    Two of the experts in the air looked at each other, then rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    "Will they come back alive?" An expert in the sky said to the people around him.

    "What does that have to do with us? They were the first ones to challenge us." The other expert waved his hand, showing that he did not care about his comrades.

    The two of them were extremely fast, and in a few breaths time, they arrived in front of Xia Xuan, the Weapons in their hands ready to attack. Just as the two Weapons s were a few inches away from Xia Xuan, a bloody light flashed and the two were sent flying several hundred meters away. The other experts all swallowed their saliva when they saw this, the two of them were their senior brother and fourth senior brother, the two of them working together, they were even more powerful than second senior brother Qiu Min, but no one could clearly see how Xia Xuan made his move, causing the two of them to fly for hundreds of meters.

 C37

    Chapter 37 - Inviting a Lord (2)

    "Haha, you are truly worthy of being the reincarnation of the Deicide. You are so strong even though you have wiped off the soul fragments." A white-robed man slowly flew into the air from the Flood Dragon Manor.

    "The head disciple of the God-Slaying Manor s, Yu Mi, and the three hundred disciples of the Martial Palace s pay respects to the Lord God of Death." With that said, countless experts flew up into the sky from all over the city. Each of them released a powerful aura, and the weakest among them were all Mystical King s.

    "Are all the people of Martial Palace like this? What''s the use of being a masked tiger in front of me? " Xia Xuan''s emotionless voice sounded out, causing everyone''s hearts to tighten at the sight of the ice-cold binocular.

    "Assemble the formation." Being frightened by Xia Xuan, Yu Mi did not dare to be careless anymore. Waving his hand, the three hundred experts immediately released a powerful aura, and countless spiritual energy s immediately formed a gigantic array formation above Jiao Yan City, with Yu Mi as the center of the array formation. Countless spiritual energy s rushed into his body, and his Qi directly went from the first stage of Mysterious Sect to the second stage of Mysterious Sect.

    I''ll give you two choices. First, enter the formation and fight me. Second, leave. Yu Mi looked at Xia Xuan playfully, feeling really good about it. In the The Divine King''s Mansion, the Martial Palace was the weakest hall. No one would have thought that a mere Martial Palace disciple would actually have a day to threaten the Deicide.

    Xia Xuan did not reply. He used his actions to prove his choice, and slowly took a step forward. In the next second, he appeared within the formation, and his speed was so fast that even Yu Mi was surprised.

    A large amount of spiritual energy congealed in Yu Mi''s hands, Yu Mi waved his hand, and a highly concentrated wave of spiritual energy immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan. Looking at the wave of spiritual energy, Xia Xuan did not panic at all.

    "flamethrower." Yu Mi looked at the black scale lance in Xia Xuan''s hand, and the binocular narrowed into a line as he muttered: "Although you used the flamethrower to kill ten thousand of your teachers, that was by relying on your own strength. It is said that this flamethrower is only one semi-divine apparatus, and that one semi-divine apparatus is not enough to deal with me." With that, Yu Mi took out a golden jade seal from his storage ring. No one knew what kind of material the jade seal was made from, it did not look like jade, but it was more noble than the jade seal used by the Human Emperor. When the Imperial Jade Seal was used, the blood red light on the flamethrower dimmed. It was as if an inferior person had seen a superior and was actually terrified.

    "Haha, the Imperial Seal isn''t something that flamethrower can compare to." Yu Mi laughed, extremely pleased with himself.

    "Old man, do you believe me?" Xia Xuan asked as he picked up the flamethrower. The flamethrower could not speak, but he trembled slightly, and waves of spiritual energy rippled outwards. Xia Xuan knew what this fluctuation of spiritual energy meant.

    "Okay, today I will destroy Martial Palace." With that said, Xia Xuan held onto the flamethrower and with a flash, he rushed towards Yu Mi. A shocking killing intent materialized and coiled around''s body like a blood dragon.

    Yu Mi gave a cold snort and threw the jade seal in his hand towards Xia Xuan. Just when he thought that he could easily suppress Xia Xuan, a blood light flashed and the Imperial Jade Seal was sent flying. Behind Xia Xuan, there was a blood book floating in the air, the blood book emitted a blinding light, and after being illuminated by the light, the aura of the Imperial Jade Seal was actually being suppressed.

    "The Book of Bloodbath, you actually managed to obtain it." Yu Mi cried out in alarm, and in the next moment, he was struck by Xia Xuan''s spear. The pike pierced his shoulder, and Yu Mi immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

    "I''ll give you guys a chance, scram immediately. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being heartless." Xia Xuan''s cold voice rang out, and the blood-colored eyes that looked at Yu Mi, seemed to once again belong to a Deicide.

    Chapter 38 - Deicide

    "Did you not figure out the situation? We have hostages in our hands." Yu Mi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and looked at Xia Xuan with a sinister gaze.

    "Aren''t you afraid of death?" Xia Xuan said, "As the head disciple of the Martial Palace, are you willing to lose everything you have so far?"

    "Hmph, as long as I can eliminate your remnant soul, Celestial King will definitely let me reincarnate, hahaha." With that, Yu Mi started to laugh wildly, as though he was extremely proud of himself.

    "Quickly throw away the flamethrower and the book, otherwise I will slaughter the entire city." Yu Mi slapped Xia Xuan hard. Xia Xuan glared at Yu Mi fiercely, feeling unresigned in his heart. He never thought that a dignified Deicide like him would actually be helpless against a mere Yu Mi, but when he thought about Jiao Ling and the others, Xia Xuan finally gritted his teeth. The flamethrower turned into a black shadow and went back to its sleeves.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had put away the flamethrower and the Bloody Wake book, Yu Mi came to the front of Xia Xuan proudly, and directly kicked Xia Xuan''s stomach, sending him flying a few meters away. After stabilizing himself, Xia Xuan held his stomach tightly and stared at Yu Mi fiercely, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

    "Unconvinced? But what can you do? " With that, Yu Mi swung his leg at Xia Xuan again. This time, Xia Xuan almost could not stabilize his flying body.

    "A dignified Deicide doesn''t even dare to retaliate. He''s truly insulting the name of the Deicide." As Yu Mi said this, he even used his foot to step on Xia Xuan, as if he wanted to vent out all the pent-up anger in his heart.

    At this time, there were hundreds of thousands of people tied up, and only two people were guarding them. One of them was a third level Xuanzun, and the other one was a Second class Xuan Zun.

    "After completing this mission, the status of our Martial Palace should be able to surpass the Hua Palace." The big and tall Fifth Brother said.

    "How much can a mere remnant soul add to the merit points? Stop dreaming." The Sixth Senior Brother rolled his eyes at him and said in a bad mood.

    "Look at how many things the elders have taken out for this remnant soul. The ten senior brothers obtained the power of the Celestial King and even gave it to senior brother for the Imperial Seal. This doesn''t seem like they''re going to deal with a mere remnant soul." Fifth Senior Brother crossed his arms across his chest, looking at Xia Xuan who was being continuously kicked by Yu Mi in the sky, his eyes full of playfulness.

    Although Xia Xuan was not weak, the elders still took out the divine instrument s. They had taken Xia Xuan for granted. However, when he thought about the First Godly General of Deicide, he finally understood one thing. If Xia Xuan was still Deicide, then perhaps other than Celestial King himself, it would be useless for a mere The Divine King''s Mansion to take out anything else. Such an opponent was usually full of variables, so it would be safer.

    Thinking of this, the Sixth Senior Brother wanted to turn around and say something, but what he saw was a fist that fiercely swung toward him. The fist that was as big as a sandbag directly caved in the Sixth Senior Brother''s face and a huge force knocked him unconscious.

    "Xia Xuan" looked at the two with a gaze full of ridicule. The reason why Yu Mi made them guard the hostages was because they viewed the hostages extremely highly. However, the two of them did not care in the slightest and actually chatted here in boredom.

    He hastily untied the ropes on Jiao Ling and Jiao Peng and said, "I''m only a clone. I''ll leave this place to you." With that, ''Xia Xuan'' turned around and flew up into the sky.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure, a complicated feeling surged in Jiao Ling''s heart. Xia Xuan would always appear when she was in danger and never let her get hurt even a little. He was her peerless hero.

    Within the array, Yu Mi was still using her foot to step on Xia Xuan. Suddenly, he grabbed onto Yu Mi''s foot with one hand, and said with a voice filled with rage: "Is it enough? With that, he threw Yu Mi, who was still in shock, several tens of meters away.

    After stabilizing his body, Yu Mi looked at Xia Xuan fiercely. Just as he was about to say something, a scream came out, he turned his head and saw a person who looked exactly like Xia Xuan holding onto a blood-colored pike, and had sent the person who maintained the formation flying with a single spear strike. Then, he turned his head to look at the Flood Dragon Manor.

    "These two idiots." After silently cursing in his heart, Yu Mi began to channel his spiritual energy and charge towards Xia Xuan. Right at this moment, Xia Xuan, who was in the array, softly muttered, "Break." And then, the entire formation shattered. After the formation was broken, Yu Mi''s aura instantly weakened, and his aura immediately dropped by more than half.

    In order to maintain the formation, the three hundred experts were unable to move.''s clone had already reached the fifth stage of Xuanzun, so using the strength of a fifth stage Xuanzun to eliminate three hundred live targets was naturally something that could not be moved in the blink of an eye.

    "As expected of the Lord God of Death, I hope you can find another way to solve your predicament next time." After calming down, Yu Mi bowed to Xia Xuan with a smile on his face.

    "You think you can run away?" Xia Xuan looked at Yu Mi with a mysterious smile on his face.

    "As the Deicide, you should be aware of the other uses of the Imperial Seal, right? With your current strength, what percentage of confidence do you have in being able to keep me here?" Saying that, Yu Mi''s heart grew unsettled, and in the next scene, he widened his eyes and stared at binocular. Xia Xuan slowly took out an Imperial Jade Seal. Impressively, this was the Imperial Seal.

    "You." Yu Mi stared widely at the binocular, the expression on his face constantly changed. First, he retracted his smile, and then, a look of anger surfaced on his face, but when he saw the flamethrower that was in Xia Xuan''s hand and the book that was floating beside him, his anger changed to fear.

    "flamethrower not only have guns, they also have flood dragons." Just as he was speaking, a small black dragon circled around Xia Xuan''s body, looking at Yu Mi''s pair of Small Flood Dragon''s eyes were filled with the pride of a child who had succeeded in his prank.

    "Clan Head Jiao, please cover Sister Ling''er''s eyes. Next up, there might be a bit of violence." Xia Xuan''s voice sounded out in Jiao Peng''s mind.

    Xia Xuan''s figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared behind Yu Mi, one hand grabbed Yu Mi''s head, the other hand forming a fist, fiercely smashing onto Yu Mi''s body. After a rain of fists, Xia Xuan grabbed Yu Mi and rushed towards the ground. In the blink of an eye, he arrived on the ground and smashed Yu Mi everywhere like a Weapons.

    Upon closer inspection, one would realize that every time Yu Mi made a pit on the ground that was bigger than the one from last time, Xia Xuan was actually using a raging fist technique. They only saw Xia Xuan leaping up after smashing Yu Mi dozens of times. From the looks of it, he was going to smash Yu Mi one last time.

    Before he smashed out, Xia Xuan''s sleeves had already burst open, causing all the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to scatter. They were actually afraid of this attack.

    BOOM! After a long while, the smoke and dust dispersed, and what appeared in front of him was a huge pit with a diameter of thirty meters. The current Yu Mi was unconscious, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

    After looking at Yu Mi and then looking in the direction of the Flood Dragon Manor, Xia Xuan felt a complex feeling in his heart, and he lowered his head, walking off into the distance.

    "Where is he?" Jiao Ling looked at the sky and asked.

    "He left. I believe that when he returns, he will definitely be the king of this generation." Jiao Peng sighed as he placed his hands behind his back and looked in the direction Xia Xuan had left.

    Chapter 39 - Beiquan Empire (1)

    In the southwest corner of the human domain, there was an empire called Beiquan Empire, which was known as Northern Spring City. There was a legendary holy spring in the Imperial Palace, and it was rumored that it could soak there to speed up cultivation.

    Walking in the capital of the Beiquan Empire, Xia Xuan was extremely shocked. In any empire, conflicts between humans would always happen, but in the one week that Xia Xuan had lived in the Northern Fountain, he had never seen a single fight. It was like a paradise, where people looked to have no desire or struggle. It was said that as long as a woman fell into her hands, it was more painful to live than die, especially for those who fought, although it was not a big crime, it was all under her control. Her kind of interrogation was the scariest.

    Arriving at a restaurant, Xia Xuan chose a seat close to the window. Looking at the lively and peaceful scene on the street, he felt admiration for the female official.

    "Hey, have you heard? This time, both Princess Bei Binger and Prince Bei Longer will be participating in the Spring Ascension Competition, so the victor of this competition will most likely be the establishment of their position in the Imperial Palace. " One of the customers whispered. Although the man''s voice was soft, Xia Xuan could still hear him.

    Xia Xuan smiled slightly. He had heard of the Beiquan Empire''s Princess Bei Binger and Prince Bei Longer before. The two of them were extremely talented geniuses and they were both first stage Mystical King at the mere age of sixteen.

    "Scophthalmus, why is there sand in your dishes? And this salt, does your shop not need any money to buy salt?" Not far away, a lady suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table and shouted at Scophthalmus.

    Although the woman was seated with her back to Xia Xuan, looking at her supple black hair, snow-white neck, slim figure, and the drooling eyes of the other customers looking at her, one could tell that the woman was definitely a peerless beauty who could make a woman laugh so easily and could ruin nations with her smile.

    "Qian Jin, our restaurant doesn''t have any good food. Can you please take care of it for a bit?" Scophthalmus came over to the lady''s side and said with a crying face.

    "You actually told me to ˇ­ Do you know who I am?" The woman slammed the table again, stood up and scolded, "Aunt, I''m not eating anymore. Your crappy shop is waiting to be sealed up." With that, the woman angrily turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

    "Tch, what kind of weirdo is that?" Scophthalmus said disdainfully after seeing the woman leave.

    Xia Xuan laughed and shook his head, he never thought that this girl, who was so beautiful that could cause the downfall of nations, would actually have such a big temper, it was truly a novelty. Just as he was about to take a sip of wine, he saw three tall and big men look at each other before stealthily chasing after the woman.

    Putting down the bowl in his hands, Xia Xuan sighed lightly, threw a gold coin to Scophthalmus and walked out of the restaurant.

    When the Scophthalmus saw that Xia Xuan had given him a gold coin in exchange for a cup of wine, he immediately said: "Thank you master, thank you master."

    On a street with fewer people, three tall and big men pulled a girl in front of them into a alley. Looking at the young girl''s beautiful face and perfect figure, the three couldn''t help but lewdly smile, as if they had picked up a treasure.

    "Do you know who I am? "How dare you just randomly grab them." The woman looked at the proud faces of the three of them and felt a surge of anger in her heart. However, having received higher education, she was still able to prevent herself from exploding.

    "Who cares who you are. If you land in our hands, you can consider yourself unlucky." Xia Xuan suddenly appeared at the entrance of the small alley, looking like a little girl who was being held hostage by the bad guys and suddenly appeared as a hero. Just as Xia Xuan was praising his in his heart, the scene in front of his shocked his. The woman suddenly erupted with an astonishing cold aura, and the three men were instantly turned into ice sculptures.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s staring binocular and his stiff face, the woman laughed: "Little brother, next time if you want to be a hero, you can see the situation clearly. Do I, the dignified Princess Bei Binger, need your help?" With that, he slowly walked into the distance, completely ignoring Xia Xuan.

 C40

    Chapter 40 - Beiquan Empire (2)

    When Xia Xuan came back to his senses, he could not help but laugh bitterly, he did not think that all of his good intentions would be treated as nothing. However, this Princess Bei Binger was extremely interesting, she was as beautiful as a painting but not one bit quiet, she was not much less than a shrew. Helplessly shaking his head, Xia Xuan could only walk into the distance.

    In front of the Northern Spring Imperial Palace, countless people had gathered. As they walked, heads moving, they could not stretch their bodies at all. Today was the most important day in the North Spring, when the Imperial Family held the Duoquan competition, because holy spring were not exclusive to the Imperial Family, so everyone in the empire had the right to use them, and the Imperial Family was merely responsible for their safekeeping. But, an Empire had too many people, and it was impossible for everyone to use them, so there was the Duoquan competition, where all the experts below the Xuanhuang could participate, and the competition grounds were selected by the Imperial Family, so the top ten were allowed to use the holy spring.

    Walking in the middle of the crowd, even Xia Xuan felt that his head was spinning, and the current him was not even walking, so how could this situation occur? Once again sighing helplessly in his heart, Xia Xuan could only allow himself to be carried away by the crowd.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan felt the flow of people becoming even more crowded, and the direction they were going in had a drastic change.

    "Prince Bei Longer has arrived." With a loud shout, the crowd opened up a road that was around five meters wide. Countless people surrounded a dazzling gold and jade carriage as they slowly drove through.

    Looking at the carriage that was slowly passing by, Xia Xuan suddenly felt very unhappy, thinking that even the only prince of the Xing Bei Empire had never had such arrogance, but this Bei Longer''s arrogance was even greater than the emperor, and the good impression she had of him instantly disappeared.

    "Tsk, what kind of nonsense is this?" A man beside Xia Xuan cursed silently, but in the next moment he became an ice sculpture. Looking at the carriage, his eyes were filled with disgust. Seems like not only was Bei Longer acting arrogantly, he was also acting somewhat domineeringly. Simply saying bad things would cause him to turn into an ice sculpture.

    Just as fear rose in everyone''s heart, a pillar of spiritual energy light shone on the ice sculpture, causing the ice to melt.

    "Lil ''Bro, why are your actions still so domineering?" It was unknown when a woman, dressed in golden silk and with a painted face, with a waist like a willow tree, and skin like a snow lotus on an iceberg appeared in front of the carriage. She was shockingly Princess Bei Binger, whom he had just seen the day before. A cold voice came from the carriage, "Elder sister, do you have fewer people frozen by yourself?" With that, the horse carriage continued forward, not giving Bei Binger any face.

    Bei Binger angrily stomped her foot, her face had a look of anger, but with the addition of her anger at her picturesque appearance, there were still many people in the crowd who drooled at him, and the voice of the Saliva sounded out.

    As Xia Xuan watched this dramatic scene, he could not help but rejoice in his heart. It was good that he lived in an empire without competition, otherwise, his brother who knew how angry he would become.

    Right after the dramatic scene ended, the crowd became lively once again, the Imperial Palace''s gate slowly opened, and countless Soldiers s neatly walked out from within to stand on both sides of the road, all of them were as straight as pike s in their hands, extremely mighty. Behind the Soldiers walked a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman was dressed extravagantly and looked somewhat similar to Bei Binger.

    Just as beautiful woman walked out of the Imperial Palace, Xia Xuan could clearly feel a wave of killing intent. He turned his head to look, only to see a Black Man among the crowd staring intently at him, his fists clenching noisily. Looking at the Black Man, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile. It seems that the Spring Plunder Competition wasn''t so boring after all.

 C41

    Chapter 41 - The Great Geyser Competition

    beautiful woman stood at the entrance of Imperial Palace and looked at the countless Participant present. When his gaze landed on Bei Longer''s carriage, he could not help but sigh, and then said in a loud voice: "Thank you all for coming to participate, I am very happy for all of you wanting to become stronger. The Imperial Family has also taken out their blue water mirror as a competition arena, and I hope everyone will put forth your full strength." With that said, beautiful woman waved his hand and a mirror appeared in front of him. The mirror appeared with an astonishing speed and became a hundred meters tall, shocking everyone.

    It was rumored that there was a Profound Master ranked spirit beast sealed within the blue water mirror. After a long period of refinement, the spirit beast''s power had already been absorbed by the blue water mirror, which meant that there was an extremely strong power sealed within the blue water mirror.

    Xia Xuan took out a golden plate from his body and looked at the Jade Water Sect with a gaze filled with determination. The reason why he had lived in the North Spring Water Sect for a week was because of this Duoquan Competition, other people might not know, but he knew what was beneath the holy spring. If he could enter the depths of the Spring, his cultivation would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, and he would even be able to obtain some interesting things.

    Rays of light shot out from the blue water mirror, each ray connecting to a brand. In a flash of light, the thousands of gold medallions were all retracted and the images on the blue water mirror turned into countless of pieces. Each piece had a gigantic stage where two people were facing each other on it, and Xia Xuan was located in a corner of the stage.

    There were still many people on the field who had yet to enter the blue water mirror, it was not that the blue water mirror could not hold them in, but that they knew it was impossible for them to win. In the ordinary Spring Plunder Competition, even the tenth place person was an expert of the eighth level of the Divine Master Realm.

    Some of the people present immediately shouted out when they saw Xia Xuan''s opponent: "Butcher!" The butcher was a half-step Mystical King Ranker, he was usually ruthless and never held back when fighting others. Unless he died, he would be injured, and was the third strongest competitor in the Spring Plunder Competition.

    "Brat, consider it your bad luck that you''ve met me. You can still avoid physical pain by admitting defeat as soon as possible. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being ruthless." When the butcher saw that his opponent was actually a wet behind the ears kid, he felt that it was funny.

    Xia Xuan did not bother with the butcher as he summoned the blood colored pike in his hand.

    "Youngsters are indeed arrogant. It seems that I can''t let you break some of your limbs." As he spoke, the butcher took out a pig slaughtering knife. It was no wonder that this person had the title of butcher. Judging from his slightly plump body and the Pig Slaughtering Knife in his hands, he did look like a butcher.

    The butcher held onto the Pig Slaughtering Knife, with a speed that did not match his physique, he rushed in front of Xia Xuan, with the Pig Slaughtering Knife in his hands, he pierced towards Xia Xuan''s throat at an extremely tricky angle.

    was impressed by the butcher''s crafty knife skills, but he did not move an inch. The pike in his hand moved and moved the Pig Slaughtering Knife away, then with lightning speed, it stabbed at the butcher.

    The butcher binocular stared wide, this stab was made using the combination of many years of battle experience, no one had ever been able to block it, but this Xia Xuan did not even move his body, and with just a spin of the pike, he was able to block it, and what was even more terrifying was that he was able to strike back.

    The butcher looked at Xia Xuan with vigilance as he retreated. To be able to block his attack so easily without using the spiritual energy, this was not like a normal person''s strength.

    "Brat, you''ve hidden yourself quite well." After the butcher said this, he rushed towards Xia Xuan again. This time, he changed the direction of his attack to the location of Xia Xuan''s heart, the degree of his craftiness increasing instead of decreasing.

    Towards the butcher, Xia Xuan still did not have much of a reaction, the pike in his hand spun once again, and once again deflected the Pig Slaughtering Knife, stabbing towards the butcher. Once again being forced back by Xia Xuan, the butcher was immediately flustered and exasperated in his heart. With over thirty years of combat experience, he had never been so humiliated before.

    He threw the Pig Slaughtering Knife to the side, and a large amount of spiritual energy started to pour out of the butcher''s body. The spiritual energy gathered on his body, and wrapped around his entire body, turning him into a giant wild boar.

    Looking at the wild boar that was about to charge towards him, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but shake his head. It was not that he had never seen this kind of martial art that could transform into a wild beast, but other people would turn into lions and tigers. This was the first time he had seen this kind of wild boar.

    The butcher''s foot scratched the ground a few times, then his huge body shakily ran towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan snorted, the pike in his hand pointed at the butcher, but just as the butcher was about to collide with him, a gigantic dragon mouth appeared in front of Xia Xuan. The butcher was swallowed by the dragon mouth before he could even react.

    Arriving at the edge of the competition grounds, Xia Xuan pointed towards the outside of the competition grounds, where Jiao Kou appeared once again outside of the competition grounds. The butcher''s gigantic wild boar body was immediately spat out.

    As soon as the butcher stepped out of the competition grounds, he was immediately sent flying by the blue water mirror. When his gigantic body landed on the ground, he scared all the spectators away.

    "The butcher actually lost? Where did that person come from? He''s so strong!" Whispers and murmurs arose from the crowd. Everyone was amazed at the speed at which the butcher had lost.

    At this time, the butcher had already put away the spiritual energy on his body. What did he see after being devoured by the dragon''s mouth? Is it a flood dragon? Or a dragon?

    beautiful woman in front of the Imperial Palace looked at Xia Xuan in the mirror, his eyes revealed a look of surprise, and muttered: "A first stage Mystical King."

    "Empress, I told you before that there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Participant. You can''t let your guard down." A man dressed in silver armor came to beautiful woman from an unknown time, and spoke with a voice filled with vicissitudes of life.

    The beautiful woman''s gaze shifted towards Bei Binger who was still in a bitter battle, a gentle look that was unique to a mother gushed out from her eyes. She then looked in another direction and said: "The person I care about the most is still this black robe man."

    The silver armored man looked towards an inconspicuous place on the blue water mirror and saw that it was a Black Man and a tall and strong man. Strangely, the two of them stood there without moving, but the silver armored man could clearly see pain on tall and strong man''s face, even with her experience, she could not see how a Black Man could do it.

    In the Jade Water Sect, after Xia Xuan defeated the butcher, he did not know what to do. As he was looking around, a spiritual energy entered his body. That spiritual energy was extremely berserk, and actually scuttled around Xia Xuan''s body for a while before calming down. After absorbing the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan''s consumption of energy was immediately replenished. It seemed like the legends regarding the blue water mirror was true, and there really was a spirit beast sealed within the blue water mirror. The reason the spiritual energy was so berserk, was most likely because the spiritual energy came from the body of the spirit beast.

    After a moment of sensing, Xia Xuan looked towards a direction outside the competition arena. What he saw was a giant flood dragon that was several thousand meters long, lying on the ground in the air. Its entire body''s aura was sluggish, and it looked to be extremely weak.

    Seeing that giant Flood Dragon, Xia Xuan''s arm felt slightly hot. It seemed that the flamethrower was a little excited to see its own kind.

 C42

    Chapter 42 - Counterfeit Competition (1)

    The giant dragon in the sky slowly opened its huge eyes. It stared at a direction in the void for a long time before spitting out human words, "An illusion?"

    Just as the Flood Dragon was preparing to continue sleeping, a deep voice rang out: "It''s not an illusion."

    The giant dragon binocular''s eyes were wide open as it looked towards a certain direction in the air. Its huge dragon face was filled with surprise.

    "I can save you, but as a condition, you have to protect me for three years. How about it?" Xia Xuan''s voice sounded once again from the void. However, when he heard that he was going to be a bodyguard for three years, he was immediately unhappy. If the fact that he, a grand Profound Master level Giant Flood Dragon, was a bodyguard for a Homo sapiens for three years were to spread, how was he going to be able to get a foothold in the Beast Kingdom?

    "Change the conditions." The giant dragon once again spoke in human language.

    "If you don''t agree, then forget it." Xia Xuan said in a slightly angry tone, seemingly intending to leave if you did not agree.

    The giant dragon struggled for a moment. Finally, it made up its mind. It gritted its teeth and said, "Fine, I promise you."

    On the stage, Xia Xuan withdrew his hand, but there was an additional Dragon Mark on his sleeve. Feeling the heat coming from his arm, Xia Xuan smiled slightly, if he said that he was sincere about making a deal with the giant dragon, then he was extremely wrong, in the Clan of the Flood Dragons, other than flamethrower, Xia Xuan had never seen a dragon that kept its word. At this time, the dragon''s nature, if it really wanted to make a deal with the dragon, was no different from committing suicide. What Xia Xuan wanted to do was to feed the flamethrower, which had also suffered injuries during his battle with the Celestial King in his previous life. If the flamethrower was able to swallow the Giant Flood Dragon, it should be able to somewhat recover from the flamethrower''s injuries.

    Xia Xuan looked around and thought: "The giant dragon is sealed here. If we take action now, the owner of the blue water mirror will definitely sense it.

    Just as Xia Xuan was deep in his thoughts, the giant Flood Dragon who was resting on his arm thought to himself: "The blue water mirror must be not far away now, this guy must have left the Beiquan Empire some time. Once he leaves the North Spring realm, I''ll eat him.

    Just like that, they grouped up together, but one man and one Flood Dragon were both plotting something.

    After around two hours, everyone within the blue water mirror had completed their competition. The mirror changed, and the reallocation was completed.

    This time, the person who appeared in front of Xia Xuan was a weak and gentle scholar. Looking at the weak and cultured student, Xia Xuan even doubted how he passed the first round of the competition. With a helpless sigh, Xia Xuan waved his hand and a group of spiritual energy s sent the scholar out of the competition grounds.

    Just as he obtained victory, a wave of berserk spiritual energy rushed back into Xia Xuan''s body, and completely replenished the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had used up.

    "Interesting. The earlier the match ends, the more time people will have to recover their physical strength. Those who have been fighting for a long time don''t have much time to recover. If this goes on, the weaker their strength will naturally be unable to endure." Xia Xuan supported his chin with one hand, and after analyzing the unspoken rules of the competition, he couldn''t help but laugh. On the surface, this system only looked at one''s own strength, but in reality, it was different. As a member of the Empire''s royal family, the things that could enhance one''s cultivation were naturally not something an ordinary person could compare to. With the accumulation of a large amount of resources, the strength of the royal family would naturally far surpass that of the majority.

    After waiting for another two hours, the blue water mirror once again allocated the opponents for the competition, but seeing the opponent in front of him, Xia Xuan could not help but have a bitter face. A lady whose face was like a painting, and looked like a willow tree, with skin as white as snow, was standing right in front of him, it was Bei Binger.

    "It''s you." Bei Binger looked at Xia Xuan in front of him and couldn''t help but laugh in her heart.

    "This is going to be a headache." Xia Xuan covered his face, feeling that his head was going to explode.

    "I won''t show mercy just because you''re kind to me, and you shouldn''t hold back just because I''m a princess. I hope we can have a fair match." After he finished speaking, a long chain made of ice appeared in Bei Binger''s hand. The long chain fiercely swung onto the ground, and directly left a deep mark of about an inch on the ground.

    Chapter 43 - Counterfeit Competition (2)

    Xia Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva forcefully, and made up his mind. A short sword appeared in his hand, and without a armor, it welcomed Bei Binger''s attack.

    "Humph!" Bei Binger snorted as she flung the long chain in his hand towards Xia Xuan. But Xia Xuan only blocked with his short sword, and the long chain wrapped around the short sword. The long chain was attached to the short sword, causing Xia Xuan''s hand to shake strangely, and the long chain immediately broke.

    The reason why the Beiquan Empire was able to sit in the position of the imperial family for so many centuries without changing was because of the unique royal bloodline she had. Relying on this bloodline, the royal family was born with an extremely strong power of ice, but Xia Xuan had shattered the long chain without even using a spiritual energy.

    After shaking off the long chain in his hand, an arrow condensed into a bow in Bei Binger''s hand, and pulled out an ice bow to form a full moon. A ray of light streaked across the horizon, and instantly appeared in front of Xia Xuan, and just as it was about to strike him, a short sword suddenly blocked the path between Xia Xuan and the ice arrow.

    Bei Binger glared at her and she was also a Weapons she had formed herself. However, in front of Xia Xuan''s eyes, her ice arrow was actually so weak. Could it be that Xia Xuan''s blood was stronger than the royal family''s?

    Bei Binger clenched her teeth, and an ice sword condensed in her hand. With the ice sword in hand, she rushed towards Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan always kept evading and basically did not clash head on with Bei Binger. Every time Bei Binger''s longsword was about to hit Xia Xuan, her figure would strangely disappear and then reappear not too far away from Bei Binger.

    In front of the Imperial Palace, the beautiful woman couldn''t help but feel anxious when he saw that Xia Xuan didn''t really want to fight with Bei Binger. There was a rule in the Spring Competition that the two parties would fight evenly for more than an hour, so the both parties would fight together in the next competition. Xia Xuan, on the other hand, wanted to fight with Bei Binger for two hours.

    "Eee ~" A cry of shock rang out from behind beautiful woman, only to see a silver armored man staring fixedly at a spot within the blue water mirror. In that scene, Black Man stood still, while her opponent stood still, but his face was filled with pain.

    "It''s the Soul Locking Curse." Just this one sentence from beautiful woman caused the silver armored man''s eyes to go wide open. In the past, there was an old man named Evil Soul Old Man, which had thousands of people in the North Spring City, causing the entire empire to become restless. In the end, the North Spring Royal Family gathered a million troops, and with the help of the blue water mirror, they had to pay a heavy price to hang him.

    "Empress, should we ˇ­" As she said that, the longsword in the silver-armored man''s hand came out of its scabbard and she transmitted it into the beautiful woman''s ears.

    "Take a look. Don''t kill good people randomly." beautiful woman waved his hand and said softly.

    On the stage, Bei Binger hacked at Xia Xuan crazily with the longsword in his hands, but no matter how much she hacked, he could not hit Xia Xuan.

    Suddenly, an empty voice resounded: "An hour, rematch your opponent."

    Hearing this voice, Bei Binger''s eyes widened, she did not expect that Xia Xuan would actually hold on for two hours in his hands, and she did not even counterattack once, which meant that Xia Xuan''s strength far surpassed his, but Xia Xuan chose to force himself on his hands for another hour, so Xia Xuan himself did not have the time to recover his strength, and thus, undoubtedly, she owed Xia Xuan another favor.

    Chapter 44 - Battling the Northern Dragon (1)

    Looking at the angry Bei Binger, Xia Xuan smiled slightly and waved at him, then the scene changed to another location.

    Within the Imperial Palace, the beautiful woman looked at the Xia Xuan on the screen for a while, then asked the silver-armored man, "Where is this man from?"

    The silver-armored man thought for a moment and said, "Does the Queen remember the Xing Bei father and son that visited our country last year?"

    "Didn''t that child not train his Qi? Why is he so strong now?" When the beautiful woman heard the silver-armored man''s words, the eyes that he looked at Xia Xuan with were filled with surprise, but very quickly, the beautiful woman calmed down. It was also occasionally that he obtained fortuitous encounters in the Mainland, and it was not as if he had never seen people who obtained the inheritance of an expert and became one of the top rankers in the Mainland.

    On the stage, Xia Xuan looked at the opponent in front of him and retracted his smile. This time around, he was facing a pale and handsome man wearing a blue robe. Sensing the man''s aura, Xia Xuan could not help but smile slightly.

    "You must be Bei Longer." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said to the man.

    "There aren''t many people who know me. How do you know?" The handsome man smiled elegantly, appearing very refined.

    "Your esteemed self''s bloodline is extremely similar to Princess Bei Binger''s." Xia Xuan said.

    "Hmph." Bei Longer snorted coldly, his gaze at Xia Xuan instantly becoming sharp, although there was still a smile on his face, Xia Xuan could clearly feel a killing intent, it seems like the relationship between Bei Binger and Bei Longer was not right.

    There was still a smile on Xia Xuan''s face, although his relationship with Bei Binger was not that good, but that did not mean that he had to be mortal enemies with Bei Longer. At least, the first impression Bei Longer gave him was not bad.

    It was unknown if it was intentional or a coincidence, but the two of them had condensed their own Weapons at the same time. The only difference was that Bei Longer''s pike was formed from ice, while Xia Xuan''s pike was formed from formless flames. At the same time, a door lit up behind the two of them. On the door behind Bei Longer, there was a drawing of a Black Tortoise, and behind Xia Xuan was a door with a drawing of a Vermillion Bird.

    "Transforming invisible form into tangible form is not simple." Bei Longer looked at the flame pike in Xia Xuan''s hand and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

    "To be able to form such a sharp Weapons with just a sliver of a spiritual energy, you are not weak either." Xia Xuan praised.

    In the blink of an eye, the two of them clashed, countless spear lights flew out but no sparks flew, but the waves of the spiritual energy rippled out, forming a thick layer on the ground.

    With one spear strike, Xia Xuan was sent flying. The pike in Bei Longer''s hands danced quickly in the air, and an ice Giant dragon slowly condensed behind him. As the Giant dragon breathed, ice shards condensed in the air, and snow began to fall from the sky.

    Seeing Bei Longer summon out the ice dragon, the pike in Xia Xuan''s hand danced in the air like Bei Longer, and then a huge flame dragon slowly appeared. Jiao Yan roared at Bei Longer and the air actually increased by a few degrees, the entire competition grounds became a place where both fire and ice were.

    "Isn''t this Prince Bei Binger? "Who is she fighting against? What a terrifying strength." It was unknown who shouted loudly from within the crowd of spectators, but after that, numerous gazes all turned towards the direction of the image of Xia Xuan and his.

    "I know him. He is the leader of the five nations'' great competition not long ago, Prince Xia Xuan." It was unknown which audience revealed Xia Xuan''s true identity with a single sentence, which left the entire audience speechless, who would have thought that it would actually be a battle between two princes, which was not something that could be seen under normal circumstances.

    "Isn''t this flood dragon a bit too solid?" Bei Longer looked at the Flood Dragon Flame behind Xia Xuan, and spoke as if he had seen through something.

    "Then why didn''t you open the Four Symbols Gate?" Xia Xuan sneered, and said with the same tone as Bei Longer.

    "Then don''t hold back, what I want is a very exciting battle." With that said, Bei Longer released all the energy in his body, and the green dragon, white tiger, and Vermillion Bird images on the Four Symbols Door behind him slowly appeared.

    Seeing that Bei Longer had displayed all four of his images, Xia Xuan released his strength, causing the other three images to appear.

 C45

    Chapter 45 - Battling the Northern Dragon (2)

    "Four Diagram." The silver armored man in front of the Imperial Palace cried out in alarm. Seeing the binocular s of the Four Symbols Sect standing motionlessly behind Xia Xuan, her face was filled with surprise.

    "It should be called the Innate Four Diagram." The beautiful woman warned, and then the silver-armored man didn''t know what to say.

    The Four Diagrams are called the Four Diagrams, and the Four Diagrams are also divided into the innate and the acquired. From the moment the Four Diagrams were opened, there have been four Diagrams, and the Four Diagrams have been imprinted through one''s own understanding of the Four Diagrams. Bei Longer was originally one of the three, but after many years of hard work, he finally managed to make up for the four phenomena.

    "It''s actually the Four Protectors. No wonder it can summon such a condensed flood dragon." After he finished speaking, the pike in Bei Longer''s hands danced once more as countless spiritual energy rushed into the ice dragon''s body, causing the ice dragon to become even more condensed.

    The pike in his hand pointed towards Xia Xuan. The ice dragon opened its huge mouth, bringing countless snow with it as it charged towards Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan did not show any signs of weakness, and pointed the pike in his hand at Bei Longer.

    The dragon and dragon clashed, the terrifying power shook the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy away, and in the end, cracks appeared on the stage. Xia Xuan gently clenched his hand, and the flood dragon''s flame directly exploded. Its terrifying high temperature turned the ice dragon into warm water on the ground, and without decreasing the force of the explosion, it aggressively rushed towards Bei Longer.

    Bei Longer raised his hands, and thick ice walls condensed in front of him. The Flood Dragon Flame smashed into it, and cracks slowly appeared one after another, as swung his hands, causing the fire drake to disappear.

    Just as Bei Longer wanted to say something, the entire fighting arena shook violently, only to be split into two, and actually broken into two. Bei Longer was unable to react in time and fell to the ground. When he crawled back up, he saw the pike in Xia Xuan''s hands flying over quickly, but the pike''s target was not him, but the battle arena beneath his feet. The pike stabbed into the stage, causing a wave of spiritual energy to surge out, and the stage beneath him became countless of dust. Bei Longer who had lost his battle arena was expelled from the blue water mirror.

    Standing in front of the blue water mirror, Bei Longer looked at the scene that depicted Xia Xuan, then looked to the other side, only to see that Black Man was still standing there motionlessly, while the person on the ground had a face like a painting, with skin like snow, it was actually Bei Binger.

    "Soul Sealing Spell, I hope you won''t disappoint me later on." Bei Longer looked at Black Man with a solemn gaze. In actuality, Bei Binger and Bei Longer participating in the Spring Plunder Competition was just a contest between the two of them. Whoever won would become the next successor to the empire. In this competition, both sides could request for an external helper. Black Man had the same goal as Bei Longer and because they were strong, they naturally became Bei Longer''s external helper.

    Not long later, Bei Binger was out of the blue water mirror s, and looking at the way the was holding its head, it seemed to be very weak.

    "Elder sister, my external aid isn''t bad, right?" Bei Longer walked in front of Bei Binger with a complacent look.

    When Bei Binger saw Bei Longer''s face that she liked, her heart was filled with anger, but after thinking for a moment, she gave a charming smile and said: "It is indeed powerful, but my external help is also not bad right?"

    When Bei Longer heard this, the astonished binocular looked at Xia Xuan who was currently absorbing spiritual energy, and in his heart, he truly believed that Xia Xuan was Bei Binger''s external help. This was because the Spring Competition was only open to the citizens of his own country, as a member of the Xing Bei Empire, Xia Xuan did not have any rights to participate in the competition, but if Xia Xuan was external help from Bei Binger, then everything made sense.

    Staring at Black Man, Bei Longer secretly thought in his heart: "Don''t disappoint me."

    Chapter 46 - Champion

    After a round of competition, there were only two blue water mirror left. One of them had defeated Bei Longer, the most anticipated prince of Xing Bei Empire, Xia Xuan, and the other one was the unattended Black Man. No one knew how Black Man had defeated so many opponents.

    Looking at Black Man in front of him, Xia Xuan''s eyes were filled with vigilance. Others might not know, but he could feel that the faint strange spiritual energy fluctuations being emitted by Black Man was a sign that they had cultivated the Soul Sealing Curse.

    "The more you know, the faster you''ll die." This was the first time Black Man spoke, but from the sound of his hoarse voice, it was clearly not his normal voice.

    "I don''t know if it''s you who is faster or me who is faster with the knife." Xia Xuan had just finished speaking and was about to throw the dagger towards Black Man, but in the next moment, Xia Xuan did not move an inch. The binocular was empty, it was the same situation as his previous opponents.

    "Crap." Seeing Xia Xuan''s situation, beautiful woman cried out inwardly, his heart rising to his throat.

    At this time, Xia Xuan did not see anything. Just as he was about to move, a silver needle passed by him, leaving behind a long trail of blood on his face.

    He turned his head to look at the distant sky, only to see a man floating in the air. The man was dressed with a body of black robe, but Xia Xuan could actually see his face, it was a seemingly simple and honest face, but there was a three inch long knife scar on his simple and honest face.

    "The truth is that I''m still faster." Lin Mou''s hoarse voice sounded once again, unexpectedly sounding a little pleased with himself. Looking at Lin Mou, Xia Xuan sneered, and said: "If I said I wanted you to lock my soul on purpose, would you believe me?"

    "He''s still so arrogant even when he''s about to die." With regards to Xia Xuan''s words, Lin Mou simply did not believe him at all. Three silver needles were held tightly between his fingers, as he waved his hand, and three silver needles flew at the same time towards Xia Xuan.

    The speed of the silver needles didn''t seem to be very fast, but they would always leave a small wound on Xia Xuan''s body as they flew past him. Looking at the wounds on his body, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile. It seemed that he didn''t care about these wounds at all, but in his heart, he was very happy that he had achieved his goal.

    "You can still laugh." The way Lin Mou looked at Xia Xuan was like looking at an idiot. He now believed that Xia Xuan did not know about the effects of the silver needles.

    Lin Mou swung out three more silver needles, and just as he was about to move, he realized that he couldn''t move his body at all. Seeing the silver needles graze his body again, Xia Xuan was surprisingly unable to retaliate at all.

    "Haha, another idiot. To be careless when facing your opponent. This is a huge taboo." Lin Mou looked at the motionless Xia Xuan, and couldn''t help but laugh arrogantly: "Do you think a man like me would use a silver needle to become a Weapons for no reason? That''s only number one in the Soul-Sealing Spike, you are now completely in my control." As he spoke, Lin Mou''s ten fingers lightly moved, Xia Xuan''s body actually followed the movements of his fingers, as if countless invisible ropes were connecting Xia Xuan and his fingers, causing him to feel as if he was a living puppet.

    Seeing Xia Xuan, who could only be manipulated by him, the complacency in Lin Mou''s heart had climbed to the peak and the vigilance on his face had long since disappeared. He controlled Xia Xuan to raise his hands, and a set of blood red pike appeared, the tip of the spear pointed straight at Xia Xuan''s stomach.

    "I already said that the more you know, the faster you will die. Everyone else only needs to have some injuries on their soul, but you want your soul to shatter." After he finished speaking, Lin Mou''s finger moved, and the blood colored pike pierced towards Xia Xuan''s stomach.

    Just when Lin Mou thought that the competition was about to come to an end, an unexpected scene appeared. He suddenly lost control of Xia Xuan and the pike in his hands threw it fiercely at Lin Mou. At this time, Lin Mou was still feeling proud, and before he could even react to Xia Xuan''s sudden action, the blood colored pike had already pierced through his shoulder. Clutching his aching shoulder, Lin Mou stared at Xia Xuan with venomous eyes, gritting his teeth, but when he was about to control Xia Xuan again, he realized that he couldn''t control Xia Xuan at all. The current Xia Xuan was like a giant rock that weighed a thousand kilograms. No matter how Lin Mou tried to pull the rope connecting to his body, he was unable to pull it at all.

    "Pop." Just as Lin Mou was about to make a move, Xia Xuan snapped his fingers and in the next moment, Lin Mou didn''t move an inch. An incomparably gigantic body appeared from behind Xia Xuan. That body was over thirty thousand meters tall and was covered with blood colored armor s. It had the exact same appearance as Xia Xuan, but its aura seemed to be able to destroy the world.

    Lin Mou looked at the huge figure behind Xia Xuan, his entire body paralyzed in the air, as he looked at Xia Xuan with eyes filled with fear. The current Lin Mou felt like his mind was completely blank. In front of that thirty thousand feet of body, no one could maintain their rationality.

    Xia Xuan scoffed, completely unsurprised by Lin Mou''s reaction. Although he was only the reincarnation of a remnant soul in the Deicide, this did not mean that a Homo sapiens could compare to his reincarnated soul. The title of First Godly General of the The Divine Realm was not just for show, there was no difference between locking the soul of the Deicide and committing suicide.

    The remnant spirit of the Deicide behind Xia Xuan extended his hand out to Lin Mou, with a light flick of his finger, he sent him flying.

    Returning back to reality, Xia Xuan looked at the binocular''s empty body and couldn''t help but have a playful look in his eyes.

    Suddenly, Lin Mou covered his head with both hands and screamed in fear. Although the spectators could not see his face, but from Xia Xuan''s angle, they could see that Lin Mou''s face was filled with fear.

    "Participant has lost his mind, the competition is over, winner is Xia Xuan." The hollow voice came once again from the battle arena, and Lin Mou was once again pushed out of the line by the blue water mirror, looking at Lin Mou who was still shouting, the spectators around all retreated ten steps, their gazes towards Xia Xuan were filled with fear, no one could see how Xia Xuan made a move, but his opponent had gone mad, he was completely mad!

    "blue water mirror, you shouted too early." Xia Xuan said in the air, as though there was someone there. Suddenly, a woman dressed in white appeared in the sky. The woman spoke again in an empty voice: "Participant, please leave on your own, I can''t invite the two divine instrument Lords on you."

    Hearing the woman''s words, Xia Xuan could not help but shake his head, and said: "A spiritual energy without intelligence is just boring." With that said, Xia Xuan transformed into a ray of light and left the blue water mirror in a flash.

 C47

    Chapter 47 - Soul Needle

    Standing in front of the blue water mirror, Xia Xuan had a smile on his face, but that smile did not look kind to the audience. The applause that should have appeared did not appear, nor did the cheers that should have appeared. The gazes of worship that should have appeared also did not appear either, all of this was because Xia Xuan''s strength was too terrifying.

    "Wait." Just then, a shout came out, a silver-armoured man came up to Xia Xuan and said: "Prince Xia Xuan, do you know that the Spring Falling Competition is only open to citizens of your country?"

    "General Meng, he''s the one I''ve asked for outside help." Before Xia Xuan could speak, Bei Binger had already arrived beside Xia Xuan and respectfully said this to the silver-armored man. The silver armored man looked at Xia Xuan, but didn''t say anything more. He turned and walked towards beautiful woman, standing motionlessly behind him, like a loyal guard.

    "Thank you." Xia Xuan said as he looked at Bei Binger.

    "No need to thank me. In fact, you can consider my help as a help. It''s a mutual benefit, right?" Bei Binger patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder, and said straightforwardly like a woman.

    "Please have the top ten contestants come to me." The beautiful woman said to the spectators, only to see nine experts slowly walking to the front of the beautiful woman, and Lin Mou being eliminated from the list because he was unconscious.

    "Congratulations, in three days, you can enter the holy spring to cultivate. This is an opportunity, I hope you can grasp it well." Just as Xia Xuan was about to leave, beautiful woman said again: "Little Brother Xia Xuan, as the champion of the holy spring Competition, you can go to the Imperial Family''s martial arts library to choose one martial arts technique."

    Although he was the reincarnation of a Deicide, and the amount of divine skills he had, the consumption of his divine skills was not small either. With his current cultivation of a first stage Mystical King, without using the Deicide''s soul, he was unable to execute it at all.

    "Thank you, your Majesty." Xia Xuan bowed towards beautiful woman and followed him inside. Looking at beautiful woman''s back, he had a very good impression of him.

    Stepping into the Imperial Palace, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. In the human world, the Xing Bei Empire was actually just a small country like an ant, a Great Rock Country alone could compare to any one of the three countries within the Five Great Alliance. And this Beiquan Empire was relying on the existence of the holy spring, its national power could even be compared to the five nations.

    After walking for more than an hour, Xia Xuan finally arrived in front of an eight level Tower with the beautiful woman. Looking at the Tower that was more than ten meters tall, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but once again sigh with emotion in his heart.

    Entering the tower, Xia Xuan was even more shocked, the entire tower was filled with books, the four walls were all made up of bookshelves, and all sorts of books were displayed in front of Xia Xuan''s eyes.

    "I truly admire the power of the North Spring Kingdom." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards beautiful woman and said.

    Regarding Xia Xuan''s flattery, beautiful woman did not care about it at all. He only turned around and said to Xia Xuan: "Choose a martial art for yourself, but only take one." With that, the beautiful woman walked out of the Tower and closed the door. Standing inside the tower, Xia Xuan was not in a hurry to find martial arts. Instead, he was leisurely strolling around. Looking at the neatly organized book in the tower, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but to shake his head. Northern Spring Kingdom''s martial arts collection was really incomparable to that of Xing Bei''s.

    There were three types of martial arts: Human, Profound, and God. Each of them had a grade from one to ten. For a small country like Xing Bei, having a grade from five to one was already quite amazing.

    Looking at the martial arts in his hands, Xia Xuan could not help but sneer. He never thought a dignified Deicide would actually want to use a Human Level martial art.

    "Go to your building." Following that voice, Xia Xuan clearly felt his own soul s tremble for a bit, and immediately looked at him in surprise. Ever since the awakening of the Deicide''s Soul within Xia Xuan''s body, he had not felt the Deicide''s consciousness again, but this time, the Deicide''s Soul spoke.

    "Yo, you woke up?" Xia Xuan crossed his arms across his chest, and said with a strange tone.

    Deicide did not reply, as if he was in deep sleep again. However, Xia Xuan knew that he had to pay attention to himself, and did not answer this kind of nonsense.

    "Tsk." Seeing that the Deicide''s attitude was so poor, Xia Xuan made a noise before quickly walking up to the eighth floor. Even Xia Xuan was curious as to what it was that could even move the heart of Deicide.

    Arriving at the eighth floor, Xia Xuan did not see any martial arts technique. There was only a stone pillar, and on the stone pillar was a translucent stone. The stone gave off a light blue glow and when the light shone on Xia Xuan''s body, he immediately felt a warm feeling coming from within his heart.

    Feeling the warm light emitted by the stone, Xia Xuan felt like a person who had been in the darkness for a long time and could not help but want to touch it.

    "Wake up." The Deicide''s voice once again rang with the majesty of his voice, directly awakening Xia Xuan from his infatuation with the light. He looked at the stone with eyes filled with terror, if there was anything dangerous around the stone, then he would have probably died today.

    "Look carefully, this Spirit Stone is wrapped in a layer of enchantment." Deicide''s voice sounded. "But I can take it out." As his words fell, the stone was wrapped in a bloody light, and then, it slowly flew in front of Xia Xuan.

    took the stone and raised it above his head. Looking at the translucent appearance of the stone, Xia Xuan was surprised, Xia Xuan who had Deicide''s memories naturally knew that this stone was called Spirit Stone, it had a very good nourishing effect on soul, but it was extremely rare. A single Spirit Stone in Human Realm could definitely cause war in countless countries.

    While stroking the spirit stones, Xia Xuan suddenly threw a spiritual energy into the spirit stones, and then a screen of light appeared in front of him.

    The Piercing Soul Needle was a Human Level Eight martial art that could turn soul into needles. It could directly attack other soul s and would cause certain harm to oneself, but its power was comparable to a Human Level Nine martial art.

    "Grade Eight, not too bad." With that said, Xia Xuan threw the spirit stones into the storage ring, and then yawned and walked down the tower. Even the Xing Bei Empire could only take out Level 4 Martial Arts, and the Beiquan Empire could only take out Level 6 Martial Arts. Although the people of Beiquan Empire knew that there was a Martial Arts in the Spirit Stone, but no matter what method they used, they were unable to take out the Martial Arts, and even Xia Xuan had to use a special method to activate the spiritual energy to get out the Martial Arts. However, after he obtained a Level 8 Martial Arts, Xia Xuan actually said that it was useful.

    "You took the Spirit Stones away just like that. Aren''t you afraid that the entire country will arrest you?" let out a cold laugh, and said: "I have won the championship, they have promised me a set of martial arts. If they go back on their words, I don''t mind making a fool of myself in this empire."

    Xia Xuan leisurely walked out of the Martial Arts Tower with a warm smile on his face, as if he had not held any spirit stones before.

 C48

    Chapter 48 - Under the holy spring (1)

    Once they left the Martial Arts Tower, the beautiful woman and the silver-armored man walked towards Xia Xuan. Seeing the beautiful woman and the silver-armored man, Xia Xuan''s face was full of smiles, but his heart was covered in cold sweat. If he were to be found out that he had taken the spirit stones, he would really be wanted by the entire country.

    "Little brother, it seems that you have learnt quite a good martial art." Seeing the smile on Xia Xuan''s face, the beautiful woman asked with a smile.

    "It''s nothing much, just a Mortal Level 4 martial art." Xia Xuan waved his hand, he did not look like he was lying at all, and beautiful woman only thought that Xia Xuan was someone who did not have high aspirations, so he did not say anything more.

    After leaving the Imperial Palace, Xia Xuan went straight to his own Inn.

    Once he returned to his room, Inn Xia Xuan took out spirit stones from his storage ring and sat on his bed to play with it. It was unknown who actually sealed a grade eight martial art with spirit stones, but logically speaking, a grade eight spirit stone should not be as valuable as a spirit stone. Why would anyone do that?

    Just as he was studying the spirit stones, a knock sounded out. Then, the Scophthalmus asked from outside: "Dear guest, I saw that you were rushing back here, is there anything I could help you with?"

    "It''s nothing. Go and busy yourself with what you need to do." Xia Xuan immediately kept the spirit stones into his storage ring, and looked at the door vigilantly. spiritual energy had already condensed in his palm, and was ready to deal with any sudden situations.

    "Then, guest, if you need anything, please instruct this lowly one. This humble one will be here anytime you need." With that, the Scophthalmus left.

    Hearing that the Scophthalmus''s footsteps were getting further and further away, Xia Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the spirit stones and activated the spiritual energy s'' spirit stones according to a specific method, then a light screen appeared. After carefully reading the words on the screen of light, Xia Xuan put the spirit stones back into his storage ring and sat on his bed.

    After around twenty minutes, Xia Xuan''s Qi suddenly increased, when the binocular opened its mouth, a hair thick light needle was shot towards the wall, but surprisingly the light needle did not leave any traces on the wall, and the light needle directly entered the wall, as though it had disappeared into thin air.

    "It will harm your own soul and be harmless to those without any soul''s body. However, if you were to stab into a soul, you can directly turn your opponent into an idiot, it can be used as a trump card." After muttering to himself for a while, Xia Xuan held his breath, changed his clothes and went to the first floor of the Inn to eat.

    In these three days, Xia Xuan was training in the Inn s, and other than eating, he didn''t even go out of his room, and three days of time passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the day he would enter the holy spring, and the thought of increasing his own strength made Xia Xuan extremely excited.

    When they came to the Imperial Palace, the other eight people had already arrived. The holy spring was an opportunity for everyone, and seizing this opportunity would allow them to gain power and status.

    "Come with me." beautiful woman said as he glanced at the nine people who arrived early.

    After walking for nearly two hours inside the Imperial Palace, the beautiful woman finally brought Xia Xuan and the others and entered a great hall. Upon entering, everyone was stunned, this was not some great hall, here was heaven, the gigantic hall was so big that one could not see the end, there were no tiles or stone pillars, there were just mountains and rivers, cicadas chirping and birds chirping, a blue sky and white clouds. This was actually a world created by the power of space.

    "This ˇ­" Everyone was speechless, spatial ability was an extremely rare but powerful ability, and only one spatial ability user could appear in ten million people, but Beiquan Empire had specially invited space ability users for the sake of the holy spring, how could this not be surprising?

    After walking with the beautiful woman for nearly an hour, Xia Xuan and the others came to the side of an extremely exquisite spring water.

    "Enter the holy spring and you must come out within half a month, or else I will forcefully pull you out." With that, the beautiful woman turned around and left. He had actually left the space.

    The nine of them looked at each other, all of their eyes were filled with greed, all of them were excited, as long as the holy spring was there, even half a month would be able to increase their cultivation by leaps and bounds.

    Suddenly, a small man ran towards the spring. Amidst the plopping sounds, all eight of them entered the holy spring. Only Xia Xuan was alone by the side of the spring, not because he was on guard, but because his goal was not the holy spring, but rather, something at the bottom of the holy spring. He had to wait for the other people to enter into a state of cultivation before he could sneak into the water.

 C49

    Chapter 49 - Under the holy spring (2)

    After about an hour, Xia Xuan finally began to move. With a "splash" sound, Xia Xuan entered the water, and as expected, the eight of them entered a state of cultivation, but the difference was that their positions were different. The holy spring''s water had a special characteristic, the deeper they went into the spring, the greater the pressure they would feel, and the people of the empire had once measured that a profound master could only enter the water for ten meters, and any further, would not be able to withstand the immense pressure of the spring. A Mystical King could hide thirty meters, or even fifty meters.

    Xia Xuan who had entered the water did not stop at all, the two fists of spiritual energy gushed out, and rushed straight to the bottom of the spring. When he reached forty meters, a person who was absorbing cultivation opened his binocular, and saw Xia Xuan''s figure rushing straight to the bottom of the spring, he was extremely shocked, even with his half a step Mystical King strength, he did not have any intention of stopping, seeing how strong Xia Xuan was, he knew that was.

    Not long later, Xia Xuan was already sixty meters underwater. Even with Xia Xuan''s strength, he could not help but feel a sharp pain in his body and mind. He immediately shouted in his heart: "Deicide, help me."

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan''s Qi rose sharply, in the blink of an eye he had reached the ninth stage of Xuanzun, the terrifying pressure of the spiritual energy caused the surrounding spring water to burst out. In addition, Xia Xuan''s Qi had changed, the current Xia Xuan''s killing intent was so heavy that it made it hard to breathe, the sharpness in his eyes seemed like it could kill. Obviously, the one controlling this body was the Deicide, not Xia Xuan.

    "Brat, don''t call me Deicide, I am you. You are me. Remember." Xia Xuan''s ice-cold voice sounded out.

    In Xia Xuan''s mind, Xia Xuan''s soul looked helpless as he shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

    After exchanging blows with the soul, Xia Xuan extended his body and rushed towards the bottom of the spring.

    After around ten minutes, a speck of light appeared in the pitch-black water. Seeing this speck of light, Xia Xuan immediately mustered his strength and rushed towards the light.

    After a while, Xia Xuan came to the bottom of the spring. Surprisingly, there was no water at the bottom of the spring, so the water was separated by a layer of light film, and through the light film, he saw a cave, which was slightly moist, with an object inside the cave, it was an egg that was the size of a human head. There were green lines on the egg, and when the light film shone on it, a small black shadow could be seen.

    Entering the cave, Xia Xuan looked at the egg in front of him, greed rare to be seen in his eyes. There was an egg at the bottom of the spring that hatched out an object. It was a dragon that was not a dragon, it was not a phoenix that was not a beast, and it was born with a horn on its head and wings on its back, and it looked like a leopard that was roaring like a dragon. Its claws were like a phoenix, and as it swallowed its aura, the sky and earth would change color.

    In his previous life, Deicide had spent hundreds of years to search for this thing, but today, he was of the opinion that this Zheng was rare even in the The Divine Realm, and this was probably the only divine object in the entire Mainland.

    As he stroked the egg, streams of blood flowed out from Xia Xuan''s hand. The egg was born from the heavens and earth, it could be stored for tens of thousands of years, but if it was fed with fresh blood, it would break out from''s shell in less than three-quarters of an hour.

    Three quarters of an hour had passed and Xia Xuan''s lips had already turned white. If not for Deicide''s help, he would probably have already fainted.

    With a "kacha" sound, a crack appeared on the eggshell.

 C50

    Chapter 50 - Zheng

    A crack appeared before an eggshell fell to the ground. A little head like a leopard stuck its head outside the eggshell, looking at Xia Xuan with its cute big eyes blinking.

    "Gulp." The Zheng opened his mouth as a gust of wind blew past, causing Xia Xuan to have no choice but to retreat a few meters. Xia Xuan''s heart was currently filled with astonishment. The current Xia Xuan had borrowed the power of the Deicide, but this Zheng with just a laugh was able to blow him flying a few metres, and this little beast was just born. Such a terrifying power, even amongst the The Divine Realm''s divine beasts, there were few who could do such a thing.

    Even though his heart was shaken, when Xia Xuan saw the Zheng Zheng''s cute little head, all of the surprise turned into pity. In front of a small beast, Xia Xuan would not be angry nor surprised.

    The Zheng shook its head, shattering the egg shell into pieces, and then its entire body came out of the egg shell. When the Zheng was young, it had two small wings on its back. Its body was like a leopard and a horn could be vaguely seen on its head. Although it was still small, its future appearance could already be seen.

    Hugging the Zheng in his arms, Xia Xuan kept stroking the Zheng''s fur and rubbed its stomach. Listening to its snores, Xia Xuan suddenly had the thought of taking care of it.

    The Zheng could smell the blood on Xia Xuan''s hands and could not help but lick his tongue, as if he was greedy. Seeing that, Xia Xuan extended his hand towards the edge of the Zheng, and the Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to bite Xia Xuan''s hand, but then Xia Xuan saw that the little Zheng had grown a few teeth, the upper and lower rows of teeth were shining with a snow-white light, actually giving off a cold aura. Xia Xuan stared with his eyes wide open, seeing that the little Zheng had bitten his hand.

    "AHH@@

    The next day, Xia Xuan dove into the cave from the spring water. The little Zheng immediately pounced on him, its little head nagging at Xia Xuan non-stop, making him giggle.

    After lighting a fire, Xia Xuan took off his clothes that were soaked by the spring water and started to roast some food beside the fire.

    At this time, the little Zheng sat obediently beside Xia Xuan, waiting for him to roast the food.

    The sound of Saliva hitting the ground echoed. Xia Xuan turned around and actually saw the little Zheng staring at him, salivating, as if it couldn''t wait to eat something.

    "I''ve said it before, you can either grind your teeth or eat meat. Don''t think that I''ll sympathize with you." Xia Xuan glanced at Little Zheng and spoke in a slightly stern voice.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the little Zheng''s ears drooped, and he lowered his head, letting out a soft "wuwu" sound. Seeing that, Xia Xuan held out a piece of meat to Little Zheng, and said: "Whether you eat it or not, it''s already cooked."

    The little Zheng looked at the meat on Xia Xuan''s hand, his eyes spinning twice, and then fiercely bit into it.

    "Ahh!" Little Zheng swallowed the meat in one gulp, while at the same time, he also bit Xia Xuan''s finger that was holding the meat.

    "AHH@@

    Although the scene at the bottom of the holy spring was very warm, there was a great difference between the holy spring. The sky above the Imperial Palace was currently densely covered in black clouds, and tens of thousands of Soldiers were gathered in the space where the holy spring was. A thirty year old general was wandering around the holy spring, and the gaze he used to look at it was filled with seriousness.

    "General, is there really a World Treasure within this spring?" A young Soldiers suddenly asked.

    "How could that be false? Look at the dark clouds above the Imperial Palace. Isn''t that the Lightning Calamity?? The general pointed to the sky and said loudly.

    "But why must this Natural Treasure be at the bottom of the spring?" The young Soldiers asked again.

    "The queen said to stay here, do not doubt her judgment." the general shouted again.

    "Then ˇ­" Before the young Soldiers could say anything, the general had already fiercely slapped her Soldiers''s helmet.

    "Why do you have so many questions? Do you not believe in the Queen or me? Keep your post, and don''t ask questions all day. " With that, the general turned around and walked away.

    After an unknown amount of time, a skinny man climbed up from the spring. Looking at the man''s panting, he was actually a bit weak. The pressure under the holy spring would slowly increase as time passed. In the past, the longest record for arriving at the holy spring was fifteen days, but this skinny man only lasted two days. Soldiers at the side could not help but sneer inwardly.

    The general, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the skinny man walk out of the holy spring. With a wave of his hand, two Soldiers s went forward to grab the skinny man.

    Fifteen days passed quickly, and when he finally climbed out of the water, he saw nothing on the bodies of the eight people, so the general set his sights on the champion, Xia Xuan.

    At the bottom of the holy spring, Xia Xuan''s legs were circling around, countless of spiritual energy rushed out of the spring and into Xia Xuan''s body, while Xia Xuan''s Spirit Qi was also following the flow of the spiritual energy, increasing rapidly, it seemed to have reached the Third-rank Xuan King level.

    Suddenly, the little Zheng swam past Xia Xuan. In this half a month, the Little Zheng had already grown to twice its original size, Xia Xuan also realized that the little Zheng could fly, if it opened its wings and entered the water, it would become a fish. If it landed, it would become a leopard.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was cultivating, the little Zheng''s eyes spun twice, stealthily walking to Xia Xuan''s side, and then biting towards Xia Xuan''s arm.

    Xia Xuan who was cultivating opened his binocular and looked at the little Zheng with a gaze filled with anger. The big fist of the sandbag ruthlessly smashed at the little Zheng''s head, and an egg sized bag immediately floated up.

    With both claws holding his head, the little Zheng looked at Xia Xuan with a wronged expression. His watery big eyes were already filled with tears, causing the anger in Xia Xuan''s heart to instantly extinguish.

    Glancing at the top of the spring, Xia Xuan thought to himself, "There should already be quite a few people outside, and we don''t know how to take the little Zheng away yet. Seeing the little Zheng''s fat body, Xia Xuan could not help but feel troubled. The storage ring could not store living things, and he could not bring the little Zheng away so brazenly.

    "Why are you so good at growing up?" Xia Xuan turned his gaze back to Little Zheng and could not help but feel troubled in his heart. Could it be that he was really going to be brain-dead?

    "Let''s go. Worse comes to worst, we can go and fight." Xia Xuan waved at the little Zheng, then swam towards the water surface.

    Above the holy spring, the general was still walking around for five hours a day. Just as he was about to leave, two figures appeared beside him. beautiful woman and the silver armored man had already arrived without him realizing.

    "Greetings to Her Lady Queen, General Meng." The general immediately fell to one knee. Although he was the same general as General Meng, he was definitely not as powerful as General Meng.

    "Empress, should we drag him out by force?" General Meng whispered into the ears of the beautiful woman.

    "No, I can feel him coming up." Just as beautiful woman finished speaking, a figure came out from within the holy spring. It was Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan was currently smiling, the little Zheng was lying on his shoulder.

    Seeing the strange looking little Zheng on Xia Xuan''s body, beautiful woman''s gaze immediately became sharp and fierce. His cold voice said: "Hand over the spirit beast and we won''t make things difficult for you."

    "The little Zheng is my son, don''t even think about it." As he said that, Xia Xuan held onto the little Zheng tightly in his hands, looking like a child.

    "Fine, hand over the spirit stones." The next sentence that beautiful woman said shocked everyone present.

 C51

    Chapter 51 - Crossing the Tribulation (1)

    The beautiful woman''s words shocked everyone present. What spirit stones were they, they were treasures that could attract countless empires to fight over them, and it was said that one person obtained one spirit stone.

    "You got the spirit stones." beautiful woman''s cold voice sounded again, but this time it contained a hint of killing intent.

    "Queen Bei Feng, Monarch Bei Quan suddenly died many years ago, and in order to gain power, he killed Bei Longer''s mother. Furthermore, he is the current holder of the blue water mirror, no wonder Bei Longer and Lin Mou are fighting with each other." Xia Xuan''s voice sounded in the ears of the beautiful woman called Bei Feng, causing him to immediately be astonished.

    "General Meng Yi, you are loyal to the late emperor. Although the throne has already been taken over by Bei Feng, you have never changed your mind and you are still called the Empress Bei Feng. I admire you very much, and I will not harm you. Xia Xuan''s voice sounded out in General Meng''s mind again, causing General Meng''s brow to frown. Although Bei Feng had occupied the position of the previous King, he still valued greatly, so it was impossible for General Meng to just stand there and watch.

    "Stop dreaming, I can''t possibly just stand there and watch." After he finished speaking, Meng Yi, with the longsword in his hand, directly rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    "Sigh ~" Xia Xuan sighed helplessly. If he could, he definitely wouldn''t want to fight against Meng Yi.

    One of his hands pointed at Meng Yi. A huge blood-red hand appeared out of nowhere. Meng Yi was directly grabbed by the big hand, unable to move at all.

    Seeing that, the surrounding people all retreated, looking at Xia Xuan with even more fear.

    "Get out of the way." Xia Xuan said in an ice-cold voice. The surrounding Soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

    "F * ck off." Xia Xuan roared out, and the terrifying spiritual energy knocked away the few people closest to him. Being frightened by Xia Xuan, everyone no longer hesitated and retreated like madmen.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan''s shout shocked tens of thousands of people, Bei Feng bit his lips, fiercely stared at Xia Xuan, and said with an ice-cold voice: "Who exactly are you?"

    Xia Xuan did not reply. He did not want to announce that he was the Deicide, and if not for obtaining the flamethrower, he would not have let Jiao Peng know that he was the Deicide.

    Lifting her foot, Bei Feng felt a light breeze blow past her and then, Xia Xuan had already appeared tens of meters behind her.

    The reason why she could sit on the throne, was not only because of her methods. And powerful strength. She was one of the Fourth rank Xuan Lord who had absorbed the power of blue water mirror all year round. Her strength could rank in the Empire''s top three. But even with his Fourth rank Xuan Lord, he could not see Xia Xuan''s movements clearly, how could this not shock him?

    Only now did Bei Feng know that it was simply impossible for him to be Xia Xuan''s match. Even the ultimate elder of the empire would not be a match for him, right?

    Xia Xuan did not bother with Bei Feng and the others anymore, what he was about to face was definitely not something a mere Bei Feng could compare to. The birth of a Heaven and Earth Treasure must have been accompanied by lightning tribulation, and the reason why he had not encountered such a tribulation was because he was currently in a separate space. However, this did not mean that he did not need to face the lightning tribulation.

    Arriving at the spatial exit, Xia Xuan took a deep breath, took a step forward, and walked out.

    At this time, the Imperial Palace was enveloped in darkness and the thundercloud was pressing down on the sky, as if trying to cover the entire Imperial Palace. Terrifying thunder snake occasionally scuttled out of the dark clouds and completely destroyed the room and the road. Everyone was shivering in the corner of the house, their hearts filled with fear.

    Suddenly, a figure walked to the center of an empty land in Imperial Palace. The figure was dressed in plain clothes, with a handsome face, holding onto a small beast that looked like one of the David''s Deer, it was Xia Xuan and Zheng. The black clouds in the sky surged with Xia Xuan''s appearance. The dark clouds rotated to form a huge vortex in the sky, and the terrifying thunder snake rolled in the dark clouds, as if doomsday had arrived.

    "Don''t worry, you''re only in charge of protecting the Zheng. There''s no big problem." Deicide''s voice sounded in Xia Xuan''s mind, causing him to immediately roll his eyes. A heavenly treasure like the spirit beast would definitely be accompanied by lightning tribulation, and this kind of lightning tribulation spirit beast had to bear it on its own, because the spirit beast needed to absorb the energy from the lightning tribulation to increase their own strength. The spirit beast that did not receive the lightning tribulation was ultimately unable to cultivate to the peak of its strength.

 C52

    Chapter 52 - Passing the Tribulation (2)

    Who could guarantee that the Zheng would be able to withstand the lightning tribulation? In this Mainland, there were countless spirit beast that died from being unable to endure the lightning tribulation, and if the little Zheng was unable to withstand the power of the lightning tribulation, then it would be him. Even if Little Zheng was not at his strongest, he would not be able to watch the little Zheng die from being struck alive.

    The little Zheng suddenly jumped down from Xia Xuan''s body and roared at the sky as if he was declaring war against the heavenly tribulation. With regards to the Zheng''s actions, the thunder tribulation seemed to be very angry.

    "Quick, run." Xia Xuan had yet to react to the meaning behind Deicide''s words, the entire Imperial Palace was enveloped in a blinding light, causing him to be unable to see anything clearly.

    After a short moment, a "boom" sound rang, and the light disappeared. Xia Xuan had already flown out dozens of meters, as his entire body lay on the ground, pain spread across his entire body, while the little Zheng was enveloped by a light pillar.

    The Lightning slowly dissipated, and the little Zheng was already lying on the ground. Tiny electric snakes would occasionally scurry out from its body, and it was hard to imagine how such a small and exquisite Zheng was able to withstand that tribulation of lightning.

    "Wake up, this is only the first lightning tribulation. There are still more to come." Deicide''s voice immediately startled Xia Xuan. If the first wave of tribulation lightning was so strong, then what would happen next?

    Xia Xuan anxiously crawled up from the ground, looking at the thunder snake rolling black clouds in the sky, a sense of nervousness and fear rarely appeared in Xia Xuan''s heart.

    Another pillar of Lightning light came slashing down. Even though there was nothing to be seen in the strong light, Xia Chen heard a roar, and used his Zheng like body to make a behemoth sound. Hearing the roar that should not have been made by the little Zheng, Xia Xuan''s heart ached. If the one undergoing the tribulation was him, Xia Cha would probably feel pain in his heart.

    After an unknown period of time, as if he was already used to the strong light, the nervousness in Xia Xuan''s heart increased. At this time, Deicide''s voice sounded: "Quickly, go save him."

    Hearing Deicide''s voice, Xia Xuan immediately unleashed his terrifying spiritual energy, and rushed into the midst of his tribulations in a flash. In the darkness of the world, the little Zheng was struggling to resist the power of the Lightning, but its small and thin body was already trembling nonstop, as though it was unable to hold on any longer. Just at this moment, a figure hugged it, and the endless Lightning cut into the figure, tearing apart Xia Xuan''s skin and flesh.

    The glass-coloured binocular looked at the figure, only to see Xia Xuan clenching his teeth and perspiration trickling down his face. When the sweat fell into the little Zheng''s eyes, it was unknown whether it was tears or sweat.

    "Little Zheng, don''t be afraid. Take this." Xia Xuan forced out a smile, and passed a blood colored bead to the little Zheng.

    The little Zheng looked at Xia Xuan, tears streaming down its face, and then bit down on the blood bead.

    "Don''t cry, I will protect you." Xia Xuan wiped the tears off the little Zheng with a slight smile, then fainted while the little Zheng was staring at the binocular.

    Seeing Xia Xuan unconscious, the little Zheng immediately swallowed the pearl and the blood colored spiritual energy immediately gushed out from his body. The little Zheng let out a loud roar and the lightning pillar was actually immediately scattered by it.

    After lifting Xia Xuan to the side, the little Zheng flew into the air again and roared at the sky, the huge roar actually dispersed the dark clouds, revealing the tumbling thunder snake inside. Another pillar of light descended, enveloping Imperial Palace within it once again.

    After an unknown amount of time, he could vaguely hear the sound of thunder rumbling. A blinding light entered from the gaps between his eyes, pulling Xia Xuan''s consciousness back into the darkness.

    Without moving his eyelids, Xia Xuan slowly opened his binocular, but the glaring light immediately caused Xia Xuan to close his eyes.

    "Don''t lie down now that you''re awake. Your son is undergoing his tribulation." An old voice suddenly sounded, causing Xia Xuan to jump in fright. Although Xia Xuan had just awakened, there shouldn''t be anyone that wouldn''t know about him. The owner of this old voice should at least be a set of seventh rank Xuan Lord, right?

    Squinting his eyes, he looked to the side and saw a white-haired, shrivelled up Old Man looking at him. Although Old Man was old, the binocular was not turbid.

    "Beiquan Empire, I never thought that I would be able to invite you out." Xia Xuan said as he looked at Old Man.

    "It''s too noisy. Young people are full of energy." Old Man stared at Lei Zhu, speaking like he was a wise man.

 C53

    Chapter 53 - Passing the Tribulation (3)

    "Then how are you going to keep us quiet?" Xia Xuan asked.

    "We can reject the Spirit Stones, you can bring the spirit beast with you, and I, Bei Quan, can even join the Five Kingdom Alliance to protect Xing Bei for three years. How about it?" The Old Man laughed.

    "Then you won''t be at a disadvantage." Xia Xuan looked at Old Man in puzzlement. He really couldn''t understand why he would do such a thing.

    "I hope that you can become a general protector of the country in three years. I believe that Lord God of Death will not go back on his word. " At the moment, Old Man''s smile looked extremely sinister in Xia Xuan''s eyes. For a god to be the protector general of a nation, didn''t that mean that Bei Quan would become the number one power in the Human Realm? These were not something that a spirit stone and spirit beast could bring.

    "Not a bad deal. I agree. " After saying that, Xia Xuan crawled up from the ground, patted off the dust on his body, and looked at the Old Man, both of their eyes carrying a trace of cunning.

    Old Man and Xia Xuan conversed for a while before their figures disappeared in a flash. However, what the world did not know was that this conversation would lead to the realization of the second great nation of Human Realm ˇŞ ˇŞ North Spring.

    After Old Man left, Xia Xuan retracted the smile on his face, and looked at the sky with a grave expression. The black clouds in the sky had stopped spinning, and the thunder snake was also no longer rolling, but this did not mean that the thunder tribulation was over, for this was the last strike, and the strength of the last strike of the lightning tribulation was the sum up of the power of the previous few lightning tribulations. Whether or not he could successfully pass through the last strike would depend on this one, and after that, he would become the only Zheng of the world.

    Suddenly, a "boom" sound rang out, but he did not see the lightning pillar striking down, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was actually the lightning pillar that was being pressed down into a thin line, and this thin line was connected to the little Zheng''s skull, there was no spiritual energy leaking out, nor any other earth-shattering phenomenon, but the Zheng was already trembling, as though it was on the verge of collapse.

    Xia Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his palms were already covered with sweat and his heart was in his throat. If Little Zheng failed, who knows if he would still be able to find other spirit beast.

    Suddenly, the dark cloud rotated once again. After a while, it completely disappeared. As the dark cloud disappeared, the silver line also disappeared. Looking at the little Zheng, he realized that the little Zheng was standing there unperturbed, the glass-colored binocular looked at Xia Xuan, and revealed a human smile.

    Seeing that the little Zheng was alright, Xia Xuan immediately heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. A smile appeared on his face, but was withdrawn in the next moment. The little Zheng slowly fell down, causing Xia Xuan to hurriedly pick him up, but when Xia Xuan heard the Little Zheng''s snoring, he heaved a sigh of relief.

    "This child is really worrisome." After he scolded with a laugh, Xia Xuan hugged the little Zheng as his eyes filled with gratification.

    Three days later, in Bei Quan Yi City, Xia Xuan and the little Zheng were walking around leisurely, just as they were having fun, a figure caught Xia Xuan''s attention. The figure was extremely familiar, and his Qi was exactly the same as a person''s, and that person was Wang Hao.

    Seeing that familiar figure, Xia Xuan was a little curious. There were several empires between Bei Quan and Xing Bei, why would Wang Hao appear here? Could he be Wang Hao''s brother? The thought was immediately dispelled by Xia Xuan. Wang Hao was the reincarnation of the God of Raging Flame, even if there were people who had a similar aura to him, they wouldn''t be the same in this world.

    The figure seemed to sense something and quickened his pace towards the distance. Soon, he entered a small alley.

    Seeing that figure enter the small alley, Xia Xuan was curious, his aura was the same as Wang Hao''s, and his movements were strange, who exactly was he?

    "Little Zheng, follow me." As he thought about this, Xia Xuan said to the little Zheng on the ground.

    Arriving at the alley, Xia Xuan did not see anyone. The little Zheng sniffed at the ground and then thought about it, but did not think of anything. Just then, a throwing knife flew out from Xia Xuan''s hand, and stabbed into a roof beam at the side of the alley. He turned his gaze and coincidentally saw a figure leaning on the roof.

    "Why are you here?" Looking at Wang Hao, Xia Xuan asked suspiciously.

    "I''m here for help." Wang Hao clenched his teeth, turned his head to the side and forced a few words out of his mouth with much difficulty.

    "What happened?" Xia Xuan asked.

    "Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue''s country is in an accident." Hearing what Wang Hao said, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but be shocked. Snow Wind Empire was no ordinary empire, and the Snow Wind Empire on the Hundred Emperor List was ranked thirty-sixth. Just what happened in such a large empire that he had not received any information about.

    "How are Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue doing? Xia Xuan asked again.

    "Back to the Snow Wind Empire." With that, Wang Hao stared at Xia Xuan, hoping that he would give a reply.

    "Go, let''s go to Snow Wind Empire." Xia Xuan roared, he picked up Wang Hao and the little Zheng and immediately flew into the sky, transforming into a ray of starlight and flying into the distance.

    In a pavilion, Old Man looked at the shooting stars in the sky and could not help but exclaim, "What a lively shooting star."

 C54

    Chapter 54 - Timely support

    There were countless empires in the Human Realm, and countless large and small ones. A small one like the Xing Bei Empire would never be remembered by anyone, but there were a hundred empires that all empires knew about, and these hundred empires were recorded in a name list. As for Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue, they were from the Snow Wind Empire that was ranked thirty-sixth on the Hundred Emperor List.

    Two figures soared through the sky, attracting countless of attention. and Wang Hao increased their speed to the maximum, heading straight for the Snow Wind Empire where Mo Youxue and Mo Youxue were.

    "Which empire attacked the Snow Wind Empire?" The flying Xia Xuan suddenly asked. Towards an empire that dared to wage war in the Snow Wind Empire, even Xia Xuan was extremely curious.

    "More than one empire, this time the ones attacking the Snow Wind Empire were the thirty-sixth ranked Everlasting Flame Emperor, the thirty-eighth ranked Emerald Empire, and the thirty-ninth ranked Thunderclap Empire. They attacked the Snow Wind Empire from three directions, and the Snow Wind Empire was outnumbered, but now they are forced to retreat and defend the capital." Wang Hao''s words immediately gave Xia Xuan a fright. With the three empires surrounding and attacking the Snow Wind Empire, it was no wonder that the Snow Wind Empire was in danger.

    Along the way, Xia Xuan asked the WeChat countless of questions, but only when Xia Xuan knew about it. How dangerous was the situation for the Snow Wind Empire? As one of the empires ranked in the top of the Hundred Emperor List, yet he had yet to receive any news as he was already being attacked and retreating to the capital city. One could imagine how fast the three empires were attacking.

    Roughly three days later, Xia Xuan and Wang Hao arrived at the Snow Wind Empire''s border. Looking at the destroyed houses and the wandering commoners, Xia Xuan thought of Xing Bei. Back then, when Xing Bei was killed, if not for the Time God changing the time, he would probably be like these people wandering around.

    Xia Xuan and Wang Hao did not directly fly into the blizzard, because flying was not allowed in the sky above the snow during a war. In order to avoid the attacks of the other three great empires, they could only obediently enter from the city gates.

    Walking in the Snow Wind Empire, Xia Xuan didn''t see any other army from the other three nations that ran amok. At this time, other than the capital, all the other places in the Snow Wind Empire were occupied by soldiers from the other three nations.

    After arriving at a town, Xia Xuan and Wang Hao entered a tavern. It had to be said that the weather in the Snow Wind Empire was extremely cold. Even a mysterious master would be panting when walking on the streets. However, it was precisely this kind of weather that brought about such a strong national power to the Snow Wind Empire.

    In this kind of weather, the Snow Wind Empire would have a large amount of veins and produce a type of ore called the Arctic Stone. This ore contained an extremely high amount of energy and could be refined into a type of pill, which was called a Spirit Origin Pill. Spirit Yuan Pills could be used by people for cultivation, one Spirit Yuan Pill was worth more than ten gold coins. Qi Cultivating Pills were very popular among people, therefore they were also used as currency.

    With a large amount of mines, the Snow Wind Empire could be said to be extremely rich. It was no wonder that the other Empires would surround and attack the Snow Wind Empire.

    Sitting in the tavern, Xia Xuan and Wang Hao carried a large cup of wine each, and perked up their ears to listen to the sounds around them.

    "Have you heard? The three empires have issued an ultimatum, if the Snow Wind Empire still does not surrender, they will start attacking the city." One of the people whispered.

    Wang Hao and Xia Xuan looked at each other, and then with a "whoosh" sound, Xia Xuan and the Little Zheng disappeared, as if all the cold air was being emitted from here.

    Currently, there was an endless number of Soldiers surrounding the Cold City, and the end couldn''t be seen at first glance. There were only a large number of heads left.

    At the entrance of the Cold City stood three people filled with the might of a Monarch. They turned a blind eye to the bows and arrows aimed at them from the Wall, appearing exceptionally domineering.

    "Brother Hanyan, it looks like this Snow Wind Empire doesn''t want to surrender." A eight feet tall man with frighteningly bulging muscles said to the white-robed man at his side.

    The red-haired man called Tao Yan didn''t say a word as he turned and walked back into the army. Not long after, many gigantic chariots drove out from the army, the five metres long cannon muzzles pointed straight at Cold City.

    Tao Yan stood on top of the chariot, and said to the entire Cold City with his voice wrapped in spiritual energy''s: "At the last minute, if you still don''t surrender, then you''re going to bomb Cold City. By then, even your regrets will be too late."

    The entire city was shocked, if Tao Yan had really destroyed the entire city, then it would not be as simple as bowing down and becoming a slave. When that time came, the entire Cold City would be razed to the ground, this kind of fighting method was filled with blood and gore, normal nations would not use this kind of Weapons in their battles, but Snow Wind Empire defended the city with their lives, and the Cold City was cold.

    "Brother Xiao Lin, I heard that you are very fond of the Snow Wind Queen." Han Yan asked the eight foot tall man with a smile.

    Just as the two of them were chatting happily, a minute had already passed. Tao Yan could not help but shake his head, although the people of Snow Wind Empire would rather die than submit, the price would be the life of the entire city. Tao Yan waved his hand, the Soldiers controlled the chariot, causing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to gather at the muzzle of the cannon. After a series of "boom" sounds, countless of cannons formed from spiritual energy s flew out, but their target was not the Wall s, but rather the residential areas in the city.

    Countless people ran all over the place, but when the shells fell, countless people died.

    In the main hall of the Imperial Palace, a beautiful beautiful woman gingiva was clenching his teeth. Facing the attacks of the three empires, the Snow Wind Queen had no choice but to listen to the cannonballs falling in the city and the screams of the citizens. He could not help but feel despair in his heart, was the huge empire about to be buried by his hands?

    Just as beautiful woman''s heart was filled with despair, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire city, and no longer made a sound. Not long after, a Soldiers ran into the main hall, and knelt on the ground, she anxiously said: "Reporting, two experts suddenly appeared, and destroyed all the chariots of the three empires."

    The beautiful woman stood up from his throne, a look of joy on his face. If the chariot was gone, then the three empires would naturally retreat after a period of guarding.

    Just as beautiful woman wanted to speak, two streams of light rushed into the hall. They were actually Wang Hao and Xia Xuan. Seeing Wang Hao and Xia Xuan, beautiful woman immediately guessed that they were the ones who destroyed the chariot, and stepped forward: "Thank you for your help, my snow and wind will never forget this kindness."

    "Snow Wind Queen, no need to be so courteous." Xia Xuan replied with a bow.

    Outside of the Cold City, the three great Monarch s had black looks on their faces as they stared fiercely at the broken pieces of the chariot on the ground.

 C55

    Chapter 55 - One to Three

    In the middle of Imperial Palace, Xia Xuan and beautiful woman chatted for a while before he transformed into a ray of light again, and with a flash, he rushed towards the Wall.

    Without a chariot, they could only forcefully attack. However, the Snow Wind Empire was stronger than any of the three nations after all, and if they really wanted to attack, they would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

    "What do we do now?" Xiao Lin asked Han Yan. In terms of intelligence, Han Yan could definitely be ranked in the top ten within the Hundred Kingdoms, so at this point of time, he still had to see how Han Yan would advise.

    "Attack him forcefully." Han Yan clenched his teeth, and a few words came out from between his teeth.

    After hearing what Han Yan said, Xiao Lin immediately turned and walked towards the army. He then started to beat the battle drums, and thousands of soldiers and horses started to charge towards the Wall.

    Just as the army rushed towards the Wall, a white light ray ruthlessly streaked across the ground in front of the army. A ten metre deep, ten metre wide and ten metre long crater was cut open, and the Soldiers who was too late to stop fell directly into the pit. When they tried to climb up, they were squashed to death by the Soldiers behind them.

    In just one move, a great army of thousands of men and horses was blocked, countless pairs of eyes looked towards the other side of the light, only to see Xia Xuan dressed in a blood colored armor, wearing a blood colored cape, holding a black scale lance, her terrifying killing intent made even an army of thousands of men feel fear.

    "Who are you?" Tao Yan roared at Xia Xuan. He naturally knew that the person who destroyed the chariot was Xia Xuan and that the Haoyan Empire, which he controlled, was a country that produced many chariots. These chariots were all brought over by his empire, but now that the chariot was completely destroyed, the only one who lost was him, the HaoyFlame Emperor.

    "Who I am is not important. The important thing is that you guys can forget about attacking the city today." Xia Xuan said in an ice-cold voice.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was so arrogant, Tao Yan immediately rushed forward to fight with him, but Han Yan extended his hand to stop him, then spoke to Xia Xuan in the distance: "Since you are so arrogant, how about we make a bet?"

    Xia Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked: What bet?

    "You stood alone among the three of us. If you win, we retreat. If you lose, the entire city will surrender." The three great Monarch s were not something that the young kings of the other empires could compare to. The Monarch s of the smaller empires could not even be considered generals in these three nations, and the strength of these three great Monarch s had even reached the level of fifth stage Xuanzun. Even if Xia Xuan was any stronger, he would still not be a match for these three.

    "Alright." Xia Xuan agreed immediately, but this word made everyone even more speechless, they did not know if Xia Xuan truly had the ability or was just acting impulsively.

    "Feels good. With your boldness, I can spare your life and let you become a general in my Emerald Country. What do you think?" Han Yan said with a smile on his face, causing Han Yan''s face to darken. How could the Emerald Monarch not be angry when he was scolded by a person he was appreciating?

    A wave of feminine-looking spiritual energy condensed in the center of his palm. Without saying anything, he directly rushed towards Xia Xuan. Facing the attack of the cold smoke, Xia Xuan''s heart felt like metal. Although he had the Deicide''s power and two Great God''s equipment, he still couldn''t compare to them with his normal Mysterious Sect, but the opponent had three Mysterious Sect. Even he wasn''t a match for them, all he needed was to stall for time.

    In Xia Xuan''s mind, a small piece of Spirit Stone floated in front of the Deicide''s Soul. The Spirit Stone was emitting a gentle light, and under the light of the light, the soul of the Deicide became more and more solid. The light beams transformed into thousands of threads that coiled around Deicide''s body, completely wrapping him within, forming a huge 30,000-meter-long pupa.

    When the power of Grade Five Mysterious Sect was displayed, Han Yan immediately let Xia Xuan feel how thorny the situation was. In just an instant, the five fingers that concealed the Yin Wind had already reached his face, if not for him being prepared and using the flamethrower to block the attack, he would have been dead by now.

    Being blocked in one move, Han Yan turned around and kicked Xia Xuan several meters away, directly sending the blood and energy in Xia Xuan''s body tumbling.

    Hurriedly recovering the blood vitality in his body, Xia Xuan looked towards the direction of the cold smoke, only to see a hand full of yin energy forming an eagle''s claw. In his instinctive reaction, the tip of the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand straight down to the center of his Frigid Smoke Palm. With regards to his confidence in his strength, Han Yan did not avoid it. However, he only knew regret when the spear point had easily cut through the spiritual energy in his palm. The pike pierced half a foot into the palm of his hand and the cold smoke immediately retreated a few meters, fresh blood continuously flowed out of his palm.

    Han Yan stared at the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand and realised that this flamethrower was not ordinary, and that he had paid the price of blood.

    "Aren''t we going to help?" Xiao Lin turned his head and asked Tao Yan who was at the side as he watched the battle between Xia Xuan and Han Yan.

    "Why are you helping? This is just a game." Tao Yan sneered, his face had a sinister smile that did not belong to him, so it turned out that this Tao Yan was also a heartless master.

    Han Yan looked at the two unconcerned people on the ground and cursed, "Why are you two still not making a move?"

    "I can see that this kid isn''t that strong, he probably doesn''t need us to help him." Tao Yan smiled, the words said caused Han Yan''s face to turn black.

    "You two bastards." Cursing in his heart, Han Yan looked at Xia Xuan''s binocular that was filled with resentment. At this moment, he wished he could tear Xia Xuan apart with his hands.

    The cold wind circled around Han Yan''s body, and in a short while, it became a spiritual energy tornado. Seeing that, Xia Xuan who was holding onto the flamethrower, couldn''t help but use a bit of force, causing blood to spurt out, and actually dyed the flamethrower the color of snow.

    The blood colored flamethrower in his hands fiercely swung towards the tornado. As soon as the spear left his hand, it turned into a Blood Dragon. The Blood Dragon tore the tornado apart and prepared to bite the black smoke with its bloody mouth.

    Just at this moment, Tao Yan and Xiao Lin appeared in front of Xia Xuan, containing their spiritual energy s. When their fists landed on Xia Xuan''s chest, they directly sent him flying, and smashed into his Wall, drowning him in countless of giant boulders.

    The cold smoke, on the other hand, had its arm bitten by the Blood Dragon before it sent it flying.

    "Haha, with just this strength, you actually dare to hoot one against three, overestimating yourself." Tao Yan laughed out loud, looking extremely pleased with himself. However, he did not know why Han Yan, who was looking at him from behind, had such a murderous look in his eyes, but now he knew why the Hao Yan Emperor was ranked higher than him.

    Just as the cold smoke rose up, ready to attack Tao Yan from the back, the sound of silkworm chrysalis shattering sounded out. The sound wasn''t loud, but it was spread far, far and clearly, and even the entire city''s people and army outside the city could hear it clearly. Furthermore, the origin of the sound was Xia Xuan''s location.

    Suddenly, a ray of blood light soared into the sky, and Xia Xuan slowly stood up from the boulder. The terrifying Qi was completely different from the previous blood red eyes, the terrifying killing intent caused everyone within a 100 li radius to be unable to breathe, and the current Xia Xuan was like the reincarnation of the Deicide.

 C56

    Chapter 56 - Universal Heart of God

    A terrifying spiritual energy soared into the sky, its astonishing killing intent shocking the entire audience. Xia Xuan felt that he had become a completely different person as a trace of fear emerged from the depths of his heart, including the Three Great Monarch s.

    Looking at Xia Xuan in such a state, the three great Monarch s actually retreated a few steps at the same time.

    "Now tell me, who is overestimating himself." Xia Xuan stared at the three great Monarch with his blood-colored eyes.

    "Just who are you?" Tao Yan said while trembling.

    "Who do you think I am? I am." With that said, Xia Xuan''s figure appeared behind Tao Yan in a flash. The fist that was wrapped in the Blood spiritual energy s struck Tao Yan''s face, causing his face to cave in. After sending Tao Yan flying with a punch, Xia Xuan turned and kicked Xiao Lin again. When he looked at the sky again, he discovered that Han Yan''s face was filled with fear.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan coldly snorted as he extended his hand and pointed at the cold smoke. A large blood colored hand appeared out of nowhere and firmly grabbed onto the cold smoke.

    "I''ll give you a chance to leave, or die." After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan waved his hand and the cold smoke was flung several hundred meters away.

    Standing up, Han Yan fiercely glared at Xia Xuan, gritted his teeth, and walked away. A third of the troops followed Han Yan away, and all of them were Soldiers from the Emerald Empire.

    Tao Yan and Xiao Lin looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and brought their respective troops away. Seeing the three great armies retreating, the Soldiers on the Wall all shouted loudly, but in the next moment, everyone was dumbstruck. They only saw Xia Xuan''s body dissipating and his body swaying, he directly dropped down from the sky.

    A figure flashed and caught Xia Xuan, and it was actually Wang Hao. Wang Hao examined''s body briefly. After confirming that Xia Xuan was just too weak, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

    There was nothing here, no sunlight, no objects. His consciousness floated around, not knowing how long it would last, not knowing how to wake up, only knowing that his consciousness was only here to sleep, leaving all his worries and worries behind.

    "How long do you want to sleep?" Deicide''s voice sounded, waking Xia Xuan from his dreams.

    "How is the battle going?" Xia Xuan did not open his binocular s. Instead, he laid in the air as if he was talking in his sleep.

    "The Spirit Stones have already been turned into ashes, and I will be sleeping for a while due to the exhaustion of my strength. But the good news is that the three kingdoms have already withdrawn their troops and will not attack for at least half a month." Deicide''s voice caused Xia Xuan to sneer. One spirit stone was exhausted of its energy, but Deicide''s soul was only able to buy half a month''s worth of safe time. This transaction was really not worth it.

    As his consciousness returned to reality, subtle rays of light drilled into his eyes, his finger moved slightly, his eyelids slowly opened, and many faces immediately surrounded him., Xiao Zheng, Mo Youxue who had been gone a long time, even Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Li Le, Shangguan Zelong, Shangguan Zelong, Shangguan Zelong, Shangguan Zelong were present.

    "Long time no see." Xia Xuan laughed, but just as he was about to move his body, his entire body was in pain, and he immediately let out a hissing sound, which attracted everyone''s attention.

    "I''m sorry, for our sake, I actually caused such a heavy injury to you." Mo Wu and Mo Haoxue said apologetically.

    "It''s nothing, we''re just friends." Xia Xuan smiled again, but the brow creases occasionally showed how much pain he was feeling right now.

    Not long after, Xia Xuan sat on a wheelchair and Wang Hao and the rest began to push Xia Xuan around the garden.

    Not far away, two well-dressed, beautiful women actually revealed a sinister expression as they watched Xia Xuan play. They gritted their teeth in jealousy.

    "The two over there are looking at us differently." Xia Xuan suddenly said, and behind them, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue lowered their heads and did not say a word.

    Seeing Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue''s reactions, Xia Xuan immediately understood what was going on. He did not see the two sisters when he came to support Snow Wind. Logically speaking, even if the two of them were not fighting on the front lines, they should still be protecting Snow Wind Queen when they return to the Snow Wind realm. Even if Xia Xuan had never experienced the fight for the throne, he had. Compared to Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue, he should have been placed under house arrest before.

    If he didn''t repel the three armies, the two of them probably wouldn''t be able to see the light of day again.

    "Little sister Snow, little sister Haoxue, what are you two chatting about? Why are you two so happy?" Just as Xia Xuan was thinking of how to deal with the two of them, the two of them had already arrived in front of Xia Xuan, and spoke with a slightly piercing tone.

    Seeing the two of them walking in uninvited, Xia Xuan''s heart was filled with a sinister feeling. No one could bully their friends.

    "I assume you two are Princess Mo Ping and Princess Mo Chen." Xia Xuan smiled at the two of them, showing a very amiable expression.

    "This is a great hero. Why is he so young?" One of the two princesses called Mo Ping looked at Xia Xuan.

    "Can I understand why you said you were young?" However, Xi Xuan didn''t get angry. Instead, he smiled.

    "Humph!" The other girl called Mo Chen scoffed, and then spoke to Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue, "Come over, I have something to say."

    Just as Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue wanted to leave, Xia Xuan pulled the two of them and said to Mo Chen: "I''m busy."

    "You ˇ­" Mo Ping and Mo Chen were so angry that their faces turned green. They looked at Xia Xuan''s binocular which was ranked thirty-sixth on the Hundred Emperor List and they were the princess of the Snow Wind Empire. They were the strongest competitors to the throne in the future.

    Xia Xuan didn''t say anything else and waved his hand. After that, Wang Hao pushed Xia Xuan further into the distance as he clenched his teeth and ignored the two as he followed Xia Xuan into the distance.

    "Halt." Mo Ping shouted to Xia Xuan and the rest, but Xia Xuan and the rest did not react, they continued to walk forward, angering Mo Ping to the point that his face turned black.

    "All of you, remember this." Mo Ping shouted, and he and Mo Chen left angrily.

    Seeing that Mo Sou and Mo Chen had left, Xia Xuan could not help but sneer, and then looked towards Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue who had their heads lowered. He could not help but sigh, and say: "Are you guys willing?"

    Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue raised their heads to look at Xia Xuan. When they saw the Six God''s Heart that he had unknowingly held in his hand, they immediately understood and said: "I''m not willing to accept this."

    Xia Xuan''s face revealed a sincere smile, his hands continuously formed complex hand seals. A continuously beating golden heart among the box slowly floated up, releasing a terrifying aura.

    Xia Xuan''s hand seals changed again, and after that, his heart split into two, they floated towards Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue and fused into their bodies, releasing a golden flame from their bodies.

    Absorbing the heart of the Deicide required an extremely firm will. The reason Xia Xuan gave the Six Gods to Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue was because he felt that the situation now was very suitable.

 C57

    Chapter 57 - God of All Things

    The current Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were completely engulfed in golden flames, but their consciousness was no longer in that place. In front of them was a stretch of forest, and in the distance was a mountain. On the left was the desert, and on the right was a volcano.

    "You''re finally here." A voice resounded in their ears, but no matter how hard they tried to find the source of the voice, they could not find it.

    "There''s no need to look for me. I am right in front of you. As the God of All Things, I am the living being and I am this world." The voice once again rang out, startling Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue. The God of All Things was actually everything.

    "What is the test?" Mo Haoxue who had always been silent suddenly said. She did not think that God''s Heart would directly give them strength. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world.

    "Feel everything." The moment the voice came out, both Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were shocked, feeling that everything was difficult, some people would only feel the thought of a single tree after decades, but the God of All Things actually said that it made them feel everything.

    "If you don''t want to accept the challenge, you can give up." The voice sounded again. After hearing what the voice said, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue immediately felt unconvinced in their hearts.

    The two of them looked at each other, and then nodded at each other, and walked in different directions. They only saw Mo Youxue walking into the forest, and Mo Haoxue walking into the desert.

    In the Forest, Mo Youxue had fun with all the animals. What she wanted to experience was all the animals, but Mo Haoxue found a few stalks of cactus in the desert and sat in front of them. Mo Youxue kept her eyes closed, without saying a word, she wanted to experience what was a cactus.

    "Get out of the way." Mo Ping and Mo Chen shouted at me and Su Bing who were blocking their path outside the flower garden. The binocular was staring at them angrily, but he did not look like a princess at all.

    "Snow and Haoyue are currently cultivating, so please do not disturb them." Wang Hao''s face was also filled with rage, this was the last time he spoke to the two of them, if the two of them continued to tangle with each other, it would be a end to their violence.

    "Humph!" Mo Chen saw that no matter what Wang Hao and Su Bing said, it was useless, he was not polite at all. Countless spiritual energy s condensed in his hands, and he rushed towards Wang Hao and Su Bing.

    Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew past. It was not strong, but it was enough to send Mo Chen and Mo Ping a few meters away.

    As their bodies landed on the ground, Mo Chen and Mo Ping looked towards the side, only to see Li Le pushing Xia Xuan and Shangguan Zelong following by his side. The three of them slowly walked over, and one could still see the faint fluctuations of a spiritual energy from Xia Xuan''s hands that were slowly being pulled back.

    "They were originally born from the same root, why be so hasty?" Xia Xuan and Mo Ping spoke out at the same time, and in a flash, they arrived beside Xia Xuan. Facing the two''s attacks, Li Le and Li Le did not react at all, as if they did not see it.

    "Bang bang." The sound of two collisions sounded out, Mo Chen and Mo Ping''s fists seemed to smash onto an invisible wall when they were only two inches away from Xia Xuan, unable to advance at all.

    The first punch was blocked, and both of their fists immediately rushed out with spiritual energy s, frantically smashing towards Xia Xuan.

    After approximately two hours had passed, the two were already exhausted, but they were completely unable to break through the wall in front of Xia Xuan.

    "What''s going on?" Unknowingly, Snow Wind Queen had arrived behind Mo Ping and Mo Chen. When he saw the panting Mo Ping and Mo Chen, he could not help but frown.

    "Muhou, these people are bullying us. They won''t let us into the garden." Mo Ping and Mo Chen acted as if they had found their lifeline after hearing Snow Wind Queen''s voice, and grabbed onto one of their arms as they spoke in a spoiled manner.

    In Mo Youxue''s and Mo Haoxue''s spiritual world, Mo Youxue was already one with the animals while Mo Haoxue was still in front of the cactus. Although she already had a deep understanding of the cactus, she still felt that there was something missing.

    A hawk flew across the sky, its cry jolting her out of her thoughts. How she wished she were the other side of the God of All Things, playing with the White Beast, instead of sitting in front of a cactus and thinking foolishly.

    The sky gradually darkened and everything fell asleep. Mo Youxue, who was within the Forest, glanced at the motionless Mo Haoxue and sighed softly. She then found a pile of hay and slept together with the animals.

    Late at night, Mo Haoxue stood up from the ground. She really could not understand what she had not comprehended. Therefore, Mo Youxue, who was using his vision as the other side of the God of All Things, should be very happy and lively.

    Now, Mo Haoxue no longer thought this way. She saw the Forest quietly growing under the moonlight, saw the sea churn, saw the volcano boil, nothing was absolutely still, and nothing was constantly moving. This world was moving yet tranquil.

    Be it the ocean, the desert, the volcanoes, or the Forest, they all felt like they were under''s command. She was now half the controller of this world.

    The slumbering Mo Youxue opened her hazy and sleepy eyes, and when she saw the world dancing along with Mo Youxue, she was immediately overjoyed. A whistle woke up all the animals in the world. Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were dancing on the prairie, everything else dancing along with them, as though everything else was under her control.

    "Clap clap." Outside the Imperial Palace Garden, Snow Wind Queen slapped Mo Chen and Mo Ping hard, causing the two binocular s to stare at each other in shock. They didn''t understand why they had been beaten up.

    "Snow and Haoyue are cultivating inside. It''s not like you two don''t know, or did you intentionally disturb them?" The Snow Wind Queen shouted in anger.

    The two of them lowered their heads in silence, but in their heart, they were extremely resentful towards Xia Xuan and the others. They had been doted upon since they were young, but today, the Snow Wind Queen had slapped them. She naturally knew that the reason the Snow Wind Queen was so protective of Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue was because Xia Xuan was protecting them, which was why he came to save Snow Wind for them.

    Just as Mo Ping and Mo Chen lowered their heads in silence, two rays of light shot into the sky. Under the light, it was as if everything was filled with energy, but it was also filled with silence, making it look extremely mystical.

    Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue slowly walked out of the flower garden, but the current them were completely different from before, as though the entire world was under their control, as though they were saints.

 C58

    Chapter 58 - Shadowgale

    Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue who were like saints slowly walked out of the flower garden.

    Xia Xuan smiled slightly, walked up and said: "What is your cultivation level now?"

    "seventh rank Xuan Lord." The two of them smiled and spoke at the same time.

    Hearing that, Wang Hao immediately opened his mouth wide, thinking back to when he had absorbed the Raging Flame Heart to become a first grade Mystical King, but Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue had absorbed a God''s Heart of Everything, which had reached the seventh grade Xuanhuang, how could they possibly balance their hearts, so they immediately shouted: "I do not accept this."

    Xia Xuan turned his head to look at Wang Hao, and immediately understood why Wang Hao did not accept it. He sighed helplessly and said: "Cultivating Qi is like stealing the heaven and earth spiritual energy, the God of All Things can take away the power of all living things. Your power comes from yourself, so how can you compare with the God of All Things?" Xia Xuan helplessly spread his hands, causing everyone present to laugh out loud. In anger, Wang Hao pouted like a child, and could only sulk away.

    Just as everyone was laughing, Mo Chen and Mo Ping who had their heads lowered without a word stared at Mo Youxue and, their eyes filled with unconcealable hatred and poison. The Snow Wind Empire''s throne was a throne that only the strong can sit on, and Mo Youxue and Mo Youxue who absorbed the God''s Heart of All Things were already at the seventh stage of Xuanhuang.

    As the night fell, Xia Xuan was alone in the Imperial Palace''s empty land. The cold wind blew occasionally, but Xia Xuan did not react at all, he raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, sighing emotionally in his heart. It had already been 15 days, and currently, he was in his weakest state.

    Suddenly, a black figure flashed and appeared beside Xia Xuan. Without causing any commotion, the black figure who shared the moonlight with Xia Xuan was none other than Su Bing.

    Although Su Bing did not cause any commotion, Xia Xuan still noticed him and immediately smiled: "They are all asleep?"

    "I''m asleep." Su Bing was not surprised that Xia Xuan had discovered his arrival, and calmly replied. But from Su Bing''s calm voice, Xia Xuan heard a trace of unwillingness.

    "You want the Heart of God?" Xia Xuan asked again as he turned to look at Su Bing with a big smile on his face.

    Su Bing did not say anything. At the moment, his emotions were complicated, he was the weakest in the group, also one of the Six Gods, but he was not even comparable to Li Le, how could he be willing? Determined, Su Bing looked down at Xia Xuan and nodded resolutely. However, Xia Xuan turned his head and said: "Now isn''t the time, you are only competing, this is not the reason for you absorbing the God''s Heart."

    Su Bing did not feel unresigned because of Xia Xuan''s words. He knew that there must be a reason why Xia Xuan did not want him to absorb them. No one in this group would question what Xia Xuan had said.

    "If you want power, then come with me." Xia Xuan said as he suddenly stood up from his wheelchair and slowly walked to the distance. Looking at Xia Xuan''s back figure, Su Bing could no longer remain calm. The gaze he used to look at Xia Xuan was filled with shock, and what he did not know was that, even if Xia Xuan, who possessed the Book of Frozen Cloud Asgard, could not use the power of the Deicide, he could still recover his strength by himself in the evening.

    After being stunned for a while, Su Bing finally gave chase after Xia Xuan.

    Time flew by, and Xia Xuan and Xia Xuan had walked for a long time as well. At some point in time, a fish-like white light had appeared at the edge of the sky, and what appeared in front of them was a mine. Logically speaking, the entire mine in the capital should have been hollowed out, but there was still one more, which made everyone not understand why.

    The two of them observed the mine for a long time, until two patrolling Soldiers s walked past, they did not expect that there would be Soldiers guarding the mine, since it was the only vein in the entire capital, and they even sent guards, which made Su Bing even more curious.

    When the two Soldiers s left, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and entered a small mines in the mines. Seeing that, Su Bing immediately entered into the shadows, and followed Xia Xuan into the mines.

    Once inside the mines, Su Bing crawled out from the shadow. However, the moment he crawled out of the shadow, he had the urge to drill back in, because there was a cold wind blowing out from time to time in the mines. Furthermore, the temperature of the cold wind was definitely at least -30 degrees Celsius.

    Looking at Su Bing who was trembling all over, the flamethrower turned into Flood Dragon flames and twined around Su Bing''s body. The cold wind blew past the Flood Dragon flames and when it blew onto Su Bing''s body again, it had already turned into a warm wind.

    Although his body was no longer cold, Su Bing was not feeling well. When he met Xia Xuan, although he was not the strongest in the team, he was not weak enough to need the protection of others, right?

    Xia Xuan looked at Su Bing''s somewhat weak expression and could not help but shake his head. Then, he led Su Bing further into the depths of mines.

    After about an hour, Xia Xuan and Su Bing arrived at the end of mines, only to see a gigantic earthen wall in front of them, blocking their path. Su Bing looked at his surroundings, on the entire journey here, he did not see anything that could increase his cultivation, but why did Xia Xuan bring him here?

    Xia Xuan stood in front of the wall. With a touch of his palm, a layer of dust was wiped away. Seeing the crystal block, Xia Xuan waved his hand, and a wave of spiritual energy swept across the wall. A thick layer of dust was blown away, revealing a huge crystal block.

    "cold incandescent crystal was born in an extremely cold land, yet it has the effect of transforming the cold into flames. Furthermore, it is incomparably hard, and even a strike with all of one''s Grade Nine Mysterious Sect is unable to harm it in the slightest." With that said, Xia Xuan crouched on the ground, the spiritual energy in his hands moved around, his fingers moved about non-stop on the ground as he drew a pattern that looked like a formation.

    "Why did the Snow Wind Empire place such a precious thing here?" Su Bing asked, puzzled.

    "They don''t have the ability to get it." After Xia Xuan finished drawing the array, he clapped his hands and a wave of spiritual energy rushed into the array. The array started to light up and Xia Xuan and Su Bing appeared on the other side of the array.

    When it appeared on the other side of the cold incandescent crystal, Su Bing immediately understood why he needed to walk for an hour before he arrived at the mines. What appeared before him was a gigantic cave, the walls of the cave had long been covered in a thick layer of ice without any ores, and there was only a sleeping giant phoenix.

    Although the giant phoenix was currently still in deep sleep, Su Bing, who was standing beside it, felt as if a thousand kilograms of boulder was pressing down on his body.

    When the giant phoenix sensed the arrival of Xia Xuan and his group, a pair of human-sized binocular opened its huge wings, and a cold wind blew past. The cold wind did not contain even the slightest bit of warmth, and caused Su Bing to shiver.

    "I wonder why Lord God of Death is here?" The giant phoenix lowered its head to Xia Xuan and spoke in human language.

    "Not only is he a Deicide, but he is also a hero." Xia Xuan sighed, then pointed at Su Bing and said, "Do you know who this is?"

    The giant phoenix stared at Su Bing for a long time before shaking its head.

    "He is the Underworld King Shadow God that you have been waiting for." Xia Xuan''s words shocked the giant phoenix, and it immediately transformed into a Old Man with icy-blue hair. The Old Man knelt down on one knee towards Su Bing, and said with an excited voice: "Fifth Elder of the Shadowphoenix, Ling Ming greets Ancestor."

    Chapter 59 - Blood Exchange

    Chapter 52: Blood Exchange

    Looking at Ling Ming, who was kneeling on one knee with his body trembling in excitement, Su Bing did not know what to do.

    There was no one who did not know about the Shadowphoenix. There were countless spirit beast in the Beast Kingdom, but there were three hegemons in the Beast Kingdom: dragons, phoenixes, and tigers. Shadowphoenix was one of the two great races within the phoenix race. However, the Ling Ming who was kneeling in front of Su Bing was a shadow phoenix, and this shadow phoenix even occupied the high position of Fifth Elder in the Shadowphoenix.

    "What did you call me?" Su Bing clearly remembered that Ling Ming had called him his ancestor before. When did he become the ancestor of the Shadowphoenix?

    "You were the patriarch of the Shadowphoenix in your previous life, and as the strongest warrior of all generations in the Shadowphoenix, you are a legendary figure in the eyes of the Shadow Phoenixes." Xia Xuan patted Su Bing''s shoulders and explained the situation to him.

    "You can help me increase my cultivation?" Su Bing asked again.

    "If you want to raise your cultivation, other than absorbing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, you can also absorb the Heaven and Earth Treasures or the other people''s spiritual energy s, but absorbing the Heaven and Earth Treasures and the other people''s spiritual energy s would damage your foundation. However, our Shadowphoenix''s unique, more powerful bones can strengthen your foundation at the same time." This was the first time he had heard of a method that could increase one''s cultivation, as well as consolidate their foundation.

    "I don''t have any bones here, but I do have the blood of your previous life. I have to remind you, however, that it is better to die than to die when exchanging blood. Ordinary people cannot endure this. Are you sure you want to trade?" Ling Ming said seriously.

    "I''m sure." Ling Ming took a deep breath, his face full of determination.

    Seeing that Su Bing agreed to change his blood, Xia Xuan clapped his hands and walked to the front of the cold incandescent crystal, the array''s light lit up, and Xia Xuan went to the other side of the cold incandescent crystal. In his previous life, he had seen an expert of the Shadowphoenix exchange blood, but in the end, he could not endure the pain and died a horrible death. Recalling the dried up corpse of the Shadowphoenix and the despair in his eyes, he did not dare to look at the process and result of Su Bing''s exchange of blood.

    Seeing Xia Xuan leaving the cave, Ling Ming nodded towards Su Bing, then raised his hand, and a spiritual energy immediately tore through the void. Looking at Ling Ming''s tearing space, Su Bing was extremely shocked. Only Profound Saint level experts would be able to barely tear open a sliver of space, but looking at Ling Ming''s technique, it was obvious that he was more than just ripping a sliver.

    Space was torn apart as a series of spatial cracks appeared one after another. After which, an entire piece of space was shattered.

    "I still can''t control my strength well." Ling Ming sighed helplessly as he saw the shattered space.

    After which, a line of blood was slowly pulled out. The line of blood was not completely red, and there was a dark tinge to it. If one looked carefully, it was not a substance, but a shadow.

    The blood vein was hundreds of meters long, and when the entire line was pulled out, it formed a ball of blood the size of a fist. The ball of blood continuously wiggled, and every time it wiggled, it would cause the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to tremble.

    "Hold out your hand." Hearing what Ling Ming said, Su Bing extended his hand out. Ling Ming''s two fingers formed a sword shape, and slashed lightly in the air, after that, a deep bloody wound appeared on Su Bing''s hand, blood flowed out like a spring under Ling Ming''s spiritual energy''s influence.

    screamed miserably. If it was an ordinary drawing of blood, Su Bing would definitely not make a sound, but drawing blood with the help of the Blood Extraction Technique would allow his body to maintain a vacuum state. Under this state, not only would Su Bing have to endure the terrifying pressure of air, he would also have to endure a kind of intense pain that came from the bottom of his heart.

    "This is only the first step. If you can''t resist, just say so. I still have time to stop." Seeing Su Bing in such pain, Ling Ming immediately reminded him. The reason he was here was to wait for Su Bing, when the Deicide fell in battle, the six Great God s were reincarnated, but Shadowphoenix relied on his bloodline to survive in the Beast Kingdom for a thousand years, while the Shadowphoenix who had lost his bloodline was currently slowly declining. On the surface, the Shadowphoenix was still one of the two great phoenix-type clans, but in reality, the Shadowphoenix was already not a match for the other clans, and it was believed that the people would soon receive news of her decline.

    In order to deal with this situation, the Shadowphoenix had long ago passed over half of the clan''s experts to the various regions of the Human Realm, just to wait for the reincarnation of the Shadow God. When the Shadow God became a god again, the Shadowphoenix who relied on the power of her bloodline would once again become the number one clan of the Beast Kingdom.

    "I can hold on." Su Bing roared, he clenched his teeth and remained silent.

    Seeing Su Bing''s reaction, Ling Ming could not help but nod his head. The drawing of blood not only drew out the blood flowing in one''s body, but it also had a natural foundation that was unreal, but the Shadowphoenix''s drawing of blood could actually take that out. The pain at that time was not something that one could endure just by howling. From birth until now, Ling Ming only knew that there were two people who could remain silent: one was Su Bing, and the other was a descendant from the Shadow God.

    Roughly an hour later, the blood in Su Bing''s body was already sucked out, and the ball of blood in Ling Ming''s hand turned into a line of blood that drilled into the wound on his hand.

    Just as the blood vein drilled into Su Bing''s body, he saw that Su Bing''s entire body was trembling violently, his veins were popping up, as though he was about to reach the edge of collapse.

    The Blood Transformation Art was split into two steps. The pain brought about by drawing blood and the blood transfusion was not something an ordinary person could endure, and when a blood transfusion was done, the pain brought about by forcefully inserting the root into a person''s body, was ten times the pain brought about by drawing blood. Normal people would directly faint from the pain during the blood transfusion, and then die because they could not stop the blood transfusion.

    Seeing Su Bing who still did not make a sound, Ling Ming could not help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

    Another half an hour had passed, and the blood in Ling Ming''s hand had been transferred into Su Bing''s body. The shadow over Su Bing''s body surged, and even his eyes became pitch black. Suddenly, a pillar of light shot up into the sky, directly piercing through the cave. The light directly pierced through the clouds, attracting the attention of the entire city.

    Within the Imperial Palace, the Snow Wind Queen stood by the window and looked at the pillar of light that shot into the sky.

    In the mines, was gasping for breath, with beads of perspiration trickling down his head. Raising his slightly exhausted face, Su Bing gave Ling Ming a forced smile, and then his eyes seemed to turn into a thousand kilograms, and his entire body slowly fell to the ground.

    Chapter 60 - Six Gods Resonance

    "What!" Wang Hao and the rest exclaimed out in shock when they heard what Xia Xuan said. They all looked at the unconscious Su Bing with shocked eyes, all of their eyes were filled with shock, they never expected that Su Bing would change his blood after a single night of sleep.

    Suddenly, Su Bing moved his head on the bed, the sounds he made immediately attracted everyone''s attention, all of them surrounding Su Bing, all of their concerned faces huddled together, as they spoke out countless of greetings.

    Su Bing looked at all the concerned faces, and revealed a rare smile, then said to Xia Xuan: "I succeeded."

    Seeing Su Bing''s face that looked like a child showing off to his parents, Xia Xuan could not help but smile slightly, and then said to Su Bing: "Good job."

    Receiving Xia Xuan''s praise, the smile on Su Bing''s face grew wider. After that, the binocular closed its mouth, and after sensing the aura in its body, it immediately revealed a face of surprise. It did not expect that after changing its blood, it had raised its cultivation to the level of a sixth stage Xuanhuang.

    "Knock knock" knocking sounds came out, only to see Snow Wind Queen standing at the door, staring straight at Xia Xuan and the rest.

    After Xia Xuan saw Snow Wind Queen, he waved to the others and left with Snow Wind Queen.

    Wang Hao and the others looked at each other, and in the end, spread out their hands and ignored him. They did not believe that there was anything that Xia Xuan, the reincarnation of the Deicide, could not handle.

    Xia Xuan followed Snow Wind Queen to a garden that was only provided for Snow Wind Queen. They stood by a lake and looked at the water saying, "Did you go to the mines yesterday?"

    "Hmph." Xia Xuan laughed and said: "You want to ask me what''s behind the cold incandescent crystal?"

    Snow Wind Queen did not reply. He just continued to stare at the lake, his gaze not moving at all.

    When Xia Xuan saw the Snow Wind Queen''s reaction, he also looked at the lake and said: "It''s a spirit beast, a spirit beast that can destroy Snow Wind Empire with just a breath, and he''s waiting here for us to arrive."

    "Why should I believe you?" Snow Wind Queen turned his gaze towards Xia Xuan. The cold incandescent crystal had been in this place for over a hundred years, but they had been unable to enter the vein no matter how hard they tried. This was because the entire vein was wrapped by the cold incandescent crystal.

    "It''s up to you to believe it or not. I can only tell you that Snow Wind Empire can only rely on me to save her from this crisis." After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan no longer paid any attention to the Snow Wind Queen, and lightly stepped forward, then disappeared into the flower garden.

    Looking at the place Xia Xuan was at previously, the Snow Wind Queen gingiva bit his lips tightly as a sinister look appeared in his eyes. For the past hundred years, her Snow Wind Empire had spent countless resources but still could not find out what was inside the mine. She only knew that the reason why the entire Snow Wind Empire was so cold was because the things behind the cold incandescent crystal continuously transferred extreme cold energy from the ground.

    Helpless, Snow Wind Empire could only disguise the cold incandescent crystal as a mine and send troops to guard it. However, Xia Xuan had thoroughly investigated the mine in one night.

    , Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were standing in a circle, Xia Xuan and Li Le were sitting outside the competition grounds enjoying delicious food and drinking wine.

    There was no one else in the fighting competition, because Xia Xuan had announced that he wanted to research a way to save the nation, but if they saw him and Li Le enjoying it so much, they would probably spurt out a mouthful of blood.

    "How are we going to train with the two of you doing this?" Wang Hao could not take it anymore, and bellowed at Xia Xuan, who had been praising the delicacies around him. The six of them were currently training a technique called the Six God''s Resonance Technique, but Xia Xuan and Li Le had been eating delicacies at the side the entire time, how could it not be a kind of suffering for them who had tasted Li Le''s food before?

    Xia Xuan gently put down the wine cup in his hands, walked up the stage, placed his hands behind his back, and said with a righteous tone: "The Six God''s resonance needs the six of you to be calm like water, but on the battlefield, the changes in the battle situation, the opponents'' sneak attacks, and other special circumstances will make you all anxious. If I were to give you all a quiet place to practice, and if you all were to panic on the battlefield, do you know how much of a price you would have to pay?" As he continued to speak, Xia Xuan''s voice rose in pitch, revealing a look of anger.

    The six of them lowered their heads in silence. What Xia Xuan said was not without reason.

    Seeing the six people''s reactions, Xia Xuan did not speak anymore. He went down the stage and started to taste the delicacies again.

    Xia Xuan laughed slightly, as if he had admitted it, but while Li Le was eating, Xia Xuan looked at the six people on the stage with a serious gaze, whether or not he could survive the danger of Snow Wind Empire would all depend on the six of them.

    Wang Hao and the other six took a deep breath, looked at each other, and then closed their binocular s.

    A complex pattern appeared under the feet of the six people, the pattern gave off a dazzling light, the surrounding spiritual energy also started to circulate, and with a turn of the spiritual energy, it actually turned into a small tornado that blocked Xia Xuan and his group''s line of sight.

    Even though there were quite a few movements in the outside world, the six of them were not moved at all. After hearing what Xia Xuan had said before, the six of them were not moved by anything from the outside world.

    At this moment, the consciousness of the six people entered the same space. It was a snow-white world, and the white light illuminated everything. However, this was only the consciousness of the six people because there was nothing in this space other than them.

    The six of them looked at each other and walked in the same direction at the same time. But not long after, six figures appeared in the direction that the six people were heading in.

    As if sensing the arrival of Wang Hao''s group of six, the six mysterious figures slowly turned around. Looking at their appearances, Wang Hao''s group of six immediately stared at them, because the six looked exactly the same as Wang Hao''s group of six. Only, the auras of the six were extremely strong, so they should be from the Five Great God s.

    We are the soul that have always existed in your hearts, and through the resonance of the six gods, you can combine your thoughts together. At the same time, you can even use the remnants of our power, I hope you can cherish and use it. " The six Deities didn''t say anything, but a voice rang out in the air, mixed with six Deities.

    After speaking, the six gods disappeared. Wang Hao and the others regained their senses, but the only difference was that their minds were currently interconnected. All of them knew what the others were thinking in their hearts, it was extremely mystical.

    "Congratulations on successfully cultivating the resonance of six souls." Unknowingly, Xia Xuan had already arrived beside the six of them, clapping his hands with a pleased smile on his face.

    "I have to thank you for telling me all this just now." Wang Hao let out a light sigh, and the seven of them laughed heartily at the same time.

    The seven of them looked in the direction of the Snow Wind City at the same time and thought to themselves: "Three Monarch s, just you wait, we are not that easy to bully."

 C61

    Chapter 61 - Restatement

    Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye. The three allied armies also reacted, it was impossible for Xia Xuan''s power to come from nowhere, it would take him a long time to recover after using it once. After using fifteen days to recover from his injuries, the three empires immediately reorganized their armies and aggressively arrived outside the Cold City.

    "Snow Wind Queen, hurry up and leave the city to surrender. We can spare your lives, otherwise don''t blame us for being ruthless." The three great Monarch s stood in front of the army and shouted at the top of the Wall. Their voices spread throughout the entire city while being wrapped by the spiritual energy, causing everyone to tremble in fear.

    "So much nonsense." Xia Xuan replied with a voice similarly wrapped in spiritual energy. Not only did the citizens of the city hear it, even the allied forces heard it, making the three great Monarch very angry.

    "What are you talking to a bunch of ants for?" A voice similar to that of a prehistoric beast rang out. A small black dot appeared in the sky, flying very quickly. Although the dot was very far away, it quickly arrived at a place not too far away.

    The giant phoenix released an astonishing aura, and a hot wind blew past when it was still tens of thousands of meters away from the Cold City. Under the blowing of the hot wind, the ice and snow of the Cold City actually showed signs of melting.

    Amongst the phoenixes, there were two great races. One of them was the Shadowphoenix and the other was the Yang Phoenix Clan. The giant phoenix in front of him was a Yang Phoenix.

    Yang Feng landed outside of Cold City, with his huge phoenix head facing the sky, as though he was declaring war on someone. He then spoke in human language towards Cold City, "Ling Ming you old bastard, get the hell out!"

    As Yang Feng''s voice faded, the Cold City shook the earth and mountains, and at a vein in the Cold City, a huge translucent crystal ball appeared in the air. Countless cracks appeared on the crystal ball, and with a ''bang'' sound, the crystal ball exploded, sending countless fragments flying into the sky. Amongst these fragments, a ice like giant phoenix opened its wings, and a ''chik'' sound rang out, as if it was responding to Yang Feng''s declaration of war.

    Seeing Ling Ming, Yang Feng''s mouth opened, and ferocious flames rushed towards the Cold City, with the tendency to destroy the entire Cold City. Just as the flames were about to collide with the Wall, a thirty thousand meter long ice wall appeared in front of the Wall, blocking the flames.

    "Aren''t you afraid of the old guys from the Human Realm?" After blocking the flames, Ling Ming spoke to the Yang Phoenix in human language.

    "Humph!" Yang Feng coldly snorted and looked towards the sky. With a flap of his giant wings, he flew high into the sky. Seeing this, Ling Ming also spread his wings and chased after the Yang Phoenix.

    After a while, Yang Feng and Ling Ming had flown hundreds of thousands of feet into the air. The only thing that could be seen was a collision of red and blue lights.

    Looking at the two phoenix battles in the sky, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile slightly, looked at his comrades, nodded at each other, and then looked at the three Monarch s outside of the Wall. The two phoenix battles had indeed determined the outcome of both armies, but it was impossible for them to just stand there and wait.

    The flamethrower appeared in a flash, a set of blood-colored armor covering its body, its red cape fluttering in the wind, an astonishing killing intent soaring up to the sky. In a flash, Xia Xuan had already rushed out explosively, straight towards the three Monarch s.

    Seeing Xia Xuan rushing over, Tao Yan''s face immediately revealed a burst of excitement, as a fiery red pike appeared out of nowhere. In a flash, it flew towards Xia Xuan, but before it could reach him, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared. The Snow Wind Queen held the sword in his right hand and the shield in his left. The longsword collided with the pike and forced Tao Yan back.

    "Leave Tao Yan to me." The Snow Wind Queen said to Xia Xuan, and immediately rushed towards Tao Yan. Regarding this, Xia Xuan was not opposed to it. Tao Yan was the strongest out of the three of them, so it would naturally be best if the Snow Wind Queen could share more.

    ''s gaze turned to the one-armed Han Yan. Tao Yan had the strongest overall strength out of the three, Han Yan was good at teamwork, and Xiao Lin was good at fighting against opponents alone. Thus, Xia Xuan decisively rushed towards Han Yan.

    Seeing Xia Xuan rushing towards Han Yan, Xiao Lin wanted to immediately go forward to stop him, but before he could do so, six figures had already explosively rushed towards him. These six people''s auras were actually all of the first grade Mysterious Sect. Seeing the six people rushing towards him, Xiao Lin was surprised, not because he was unable to handle the six first stage Mysterious Sect, but because he did not know when Snow Wind Empire had produced such a large number of experts, and judging from their appearances, these six people were all around ten years old.

    Just as Xiao Lin was startled, Wang Hao and the other six had already surrounded him.

    "You want to deal with me with a mere six first rank Mysterious Sect?" Xiao Lin arched his back as he stared vigilantly at Wang Hao and the other six, but the words he had said were extremely disdainful.

    "Humph!" Wang Hao and the other three coldly snorted. After that, their bodies flashed and all six of them rushed towards Xiao Lin at the same time. Although six first stage Mysterious Sect wasn''t really a big deal to one Grade Five Mysterious Sect, for some reason, an uneasy feeling welled up in Xiao Lin''s heart. The six people in front of him actually gave him a sense of danger.

    Countless spiritual energy s had wrapped around Xiao Lin''s fist until it was the size of a human head. A heavy punch was not directed at anyone, but towards the ground. When the huge fist landed on the ground, the terrifying spiritual energy rushed out and directly sent the six of them flying.

    After sending six people flying with a single punch, Xiao Lin turned around and punched heavily towards his back. He saw that Su Bing, who had been sent flying, was slowly dissipating while Su Bing''s real body appeared from within Xiao Lin''s shadow.

    In the face of Xiao Lin''s attack, Su Bing simply did not have enough time to resist. He could only use both hands to block in front of him as Xiao Lin''s heavy punch directly sent him flying.

    Seeing that Su Bing had been blown away, Wang Hao immediately gathered his spiritual energy and stomped hard on the ground. His body turned into a ray of blood red light, aimed straight at Xiao Lin.

    After learning the lesson from the previous battle, Han Yan did not dare to underestimate the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand. He did not even dare to directly clash with Xia Xuan at all.

    Seeing Han Yan''s reaction, the corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly. If Han Yan and Xia Xuan were to clash head on, Xia Xuan might really fear him, but seeing Han Yan''s reaction, it could only mean one thing, which was that Han Yan being afraid of the opponent on the battlefield was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life.

    Xia Xuan slowly walked in the sky, walking towards him step by step. Every time a spiritual energy Whirlwind appeared in front of him, the flamethrower in his hands would gently flick it away. Xia Xuan was not trying to be cool, he was trying to increase the fear in Han Yan''s heart. When a person''s fear reached a certain level, they would forget all about battle methods.

    Just like that, step by step, Xia Xuan was already only a dozen meters away from Han Yan. Like a windmill, Han Yan''s hands waved, and spiritual energy after spiritual energy swirled and flew towards Xia Xuan, but they were all blocked by the flamethrower.

    "What are you doing? Retreat! I told you to scram!" The cold smoke roared at Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan was furious, he could see a trace of fear in Han Yan''s eyes.

 C62

    Chapter 62 - Repatriation of the Three Forces (1)

    Ignoring Han Yan''s angry roar, Xia Xuan still walked towards him step by step. In the end, when Xia Xuan was only a few meters away from Han Yan, he reacted out of instinct and fiercely swung a large group of spiritual energy at Xia Xuan.

    As the distance was too close, Xia Xuan was not able to react in time. A large group of spiritual energy struck his body, and directly caused him to almost collapse. Although Han Yan''s strike was extremely powerful, Xia Xuan still clenched his teeth, and strove to prevent himself from collapsing. The terrifying spiritual energy erupted with a face full of malice, increasing the fear in Han Yan''s heart.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s fearsome face, Han Yan''s fear reached its peak. Right now, all he wanted to do was to run, to run as fast as he could. The one in front of him was not a human, but a devil, the most evil killing demon.

    As soon as Han Yan turned around, a pike hit him on the back and sent him flying.

    Before Han Yan could even stabilize his body, Xia Xuan had already arrived at the place where Han Yan was about to land. Using the pike in his hand as a stick, he ruthlessly waved towards the black smoke, directly knocking it dozens of meters high. The pike smashed onto his body, and like a meteor, it instantly smashed into the army, causing smoke and dust to rise all over the place.

    Countless frightened eyes looked at Xia Xuan. Han Yan was a Grade Five Mysterious Sect, but in Xia Xuan''s hands, he had no power to fight back.

    The smoke and dust dispersed, and a gigantic pit with a diameter of fifty meters was forcefully smashed out. At this time, Han Yan struggled to stand up from the pit with great difficulty, and stared at Xia Xuan with a pair of venomous eyes.

    "AHH!".

    "I''m dying to struggle." Xia Xuan was not surprised at Han Yan''s retaliation. When a person was threatened by a life or death threat, no matter how strong the opponent was, they would fight with all their might. If they could not even struggle in death, then the Monarch that Han Yan had spent so many years with was useless.

    Blood flowed out of his hand and dyed the flamethrower''s blood red. Xia Xuan then flung the flamethrower out, and the spear left his hand, transforming into a blood colored dragon flame. The blood colored dragon flame circled above the tornado, and its claws tore at the tornado, causing it to explode upon contact.

    At this time, Han Yan was staring at Xia Xuan with a pair of venomous eyes, his face had a sinister look, as if he no longer had the image of a Monarch.

    The dragon flame tore open a hole. Just as the cold smoke was about to throw out the spiritual energy in his hand, at this moment, a silver needle pierced into his brain. Immediately, his movements were frozen.

    This was the first time Xia Xuan used it since he received the Soulshake Needle, and its power was comparable to a level nine martial art. Because it had some damage to his own soul, Xia Xuan had always used it as a trump card, but seeing Han Yan''s reaction, the Soulshake Needle could turn the opponent into a fool and not scare people.

    As the black smoke stopped moving, the spiritual energy tornado immediately dissipated and Jiao Yan once again transformed into the flamethrower, returning back into Xia Xuan''s hands.

    "Ahaha." Han Yan suddenly held his head, the binocular was staring at him with its light bulb sized eyes, kneeling on the ground, it laughed out loud, the first generation Monarch was beaten crazy.

    "Hai." Xia Xuan sighed and couldn''t help but shake his head. He didn''t like war, but if someone insisted on starting a war, he, as a Deicide, would never be merciful.

    At this time, Wang Hao had already arrived in front of Xiao Lin, a pair of fists ruthlessly smashing towards him. Xiao Lin was after all, a fifth-grade Xuanzun, so it was impossible for him to not even have the time to retaliate against Wang Hao''s attacks. Just then, countless vine s burst out, and wrapped around Xiao Lin''s hand, causing his entire hand to be unable to move.

    Seeing that Wang Hao was about to attack him, Xiao Lin was anxious, he raised his other hand and was about to welcome him, but Mo Youxue who had transformed into the leopard girl suddenly dodged, her sharp leopard claws cut across the joints of her muscles, and her arm could not help but droop down.

    Chapter 63 - Repatriation of Troika (2)

    At this time, Wang Hao had already punched Xiao Lin. After his punch, Wang Hao turned and punched Xiao Lin again. This was the Wang Family''s Fury Fist technique, with each punch more powerful than the previous one, it was said that the power of the seventy-second punch was 1200 times greater than the previous punch. The Wang Family ancestor had used this technique to instantly destroy tens of empires.

    Wang Hao had been practicing this technique ever since he absorbed the Angry Flame God''s Heart. At this time, Wang Hao was already able to unleash 49 punches, 49 punches, and the power of the cool air was more than 100 times that of the first punch. Coincidentally, Xiao Lin had already been controlled, and with a punch, he smashed onto Xiao Lin''s body.

    "Bang!" A loud sound was heard, Xiao Lin was smashed until he fainted, while Wang Hao was gasping for breath, bean sized sweat flowed down from his head, all over his face. Raising his exhausted face, Wang Hao smiled at the other five. This victory was truly difficult to come by.

    Tao Yan, who was fighting bitterly with Snow Wind Queen, looked at Han Yan and Xiao Lin from the corner of his eyes.

    "You still dare to be distracted while fighting me?" Unknowingly, Snow Wind Queen had already appeared behind Tao Yan, the icy longsword in his hands directly pointing at Tao Yan''s back.

    In a moment of desperation, Tao Yan turned and placed the pike horizontally in front of him, just in time to block the Snow Wind Queen''s longsword. Although he blocked the Snow Wind Queen''s attack, Tao Yan was still pushed back.

    After giving Snow Wind Queen a vicious glance, Tao Yan actually turned around and ran away without hesitation. The dignified Monarch actually retreated before the battle. Seeing that the Monarch had escaped, the armies of the Haoyan Empire also retreated without hesitation to the troops of the other two countries. After being stunned for a moment, they too threw their helmets and armor on the ground and ran away.

    With the loss of the two Monarch s, the Emerald Empire and the Zang Thunder Empire would naturally retreat and return to their homeland. Furthermore, the isolated Haoyan Empire was not a match for the Snow Wind Empire in the first place. As a result, Snow Wind Empire''s crisis this time could be considered to have passed.

    The real deciding factor for this war''s success was still the battle between the two phoenixes. Since Yang Feng dared to come to the Snow Wind Palace, he must have been prepared for it, if Ling Ming was able to handle the situation, then the Cold City would definitely be destroyed by him. At that time, the Emerald and Thunder Kingdoms would both be able to retreat, and the Blessed Flame Emperor would be the one to benefit.

    Xia Xuan appeared beside Su Bing in a flash, placed a hand on his shoulder and said: "Come with me."

    Su Bing nodded his head, then flew up with Xia Xuan, heading straight for the Duo Phoenix Battlefield.

    100,000 feet in the air, Ling Ming spat out an icicle at Yang Feng. Yang Feng also spat out a flame at Ling Ming, and the icicles and flames immediately disappeared upon colliding.

    "Chi Tong, you are not my match, why did you come?" Ling Ming rushed towards Yang Feng and said.

    "Do you think I''m unprepared?" Yang Feng, who was known as the Blazing Cultivator, sneered. He looked at Ling Ming with a crafty expression.

    "Could it be ˇ­" Ling Ming stared at the Blazing Cultivator, his gaze turned to look behind him, only to see countless black spots emerging from the horizon, before the black spots had even reached him, the cry of the phoenix had already spread far and wide, Chi Tong had indeed come prepared.

 C64

    Chapter 64 - The Soul of the Shadow God

    "He came so quickly." When Ling Ming saw the black dots in the sky, he immediately cried out in surprise. Back then, when Shadow God was reincarnated, he had sent half of his clan''s experts to various parts of Human Realm to protect his bloodline.

    As a phoenix-kind clan, the Yang Phoenix Clan naturally wouldn''t let the Shadowphoenix fulfill her wish. After the Shadow God was reincarnated, they also sent out half of their experts, just so that they could kill the Shadow God before it matured. This was also why the Snow Wind Empire and the Haoyan Emperor were neighbors, each having their winds and snow flurried throughout the year, while the other had a volcano erupting all year round.

    "In terms of strength, we can''t compare to the Shadow God''s Blood Shadow Phoenix, but in terms of speed, we, Yang Feng, can be considered as one of the strongest phoenixes. As long as we kill the other Shadow Phoenixes before they arrive, we, Yang Feng, will be safe in the position of the number one phoenix." As he said that, Chi Tong burst out laughing, the black dot in the sky had already reached his back, and dozens of Yang Feng''s wings flapped at the same time.

    "You ˇ­" Ling Ming glared fiercely at Chi Tong, but did not know what to say. Facing so many Yang Feng''s, even he himself was unable to deal with them, and Su Bing was right under the city gates.

    After making up his mind, Ling Ming clenched his teeth, and the spiritual energy began to gush out of his body. Its entire body had expanded several times, and it was actually able to forcibly resist the Yang Phoenix Qi, but seeing Ling Ming clenching his teeth, he knew that it was extremely difficult for Ling Ming to fight against dozens of Yang Phoenix Qi by himself.

    "Humph!" Seeing that Ling Ming still wanted to resist, Chi Tong snorted coldly. With a flap of his gigantic phoenix wings, he charged towards Ling Ming.

    Seeing Chi Tong rushing over, Ling Ming flapped his wings, and an extreme cold tornado immediately swept towards Ling Ming. Chi Tong''s figure flashed and dodged Ling Ming''s attack, but the two Yang Phoenixes behind him did not have enough time to react. After being swept away by the extreme frost tornado, they could no longer stabilize themselves and directly fell to the ground.

    "Tch." Yang Feng could become a great clan of the phoenixes, and there was also a type of divine blood flowing in their bodies, but what they had was the Scorching Sun bloodline. With the Scorching Sun bloodline, their speed was far above the Shadow Phoenix''s, but that did not mean that Yang Feng''s attack was weaker, it was just that the Shadow Phoenix that had the Shadow God bloodline had extraordinary strength.

    Ling Ming, who possessed the Shadow God''s bloodline, was extremely strong. If they really were to fight to the death, Chi Tong would not be able to defeat him easily.

    "Screech." Chi Tong shouted. When the other Yang Feng heard this, they immediately flew to Chi Tong''s back, pulling a distance of thousands of meters from Ling Ming.

    Seeing this situation, Ling Ming did not go and find trouble with them. What he needed to do was to stall for time, and as long as he could delay the other Shadow Phoenixes to come help, the safety of Shadow God would be assured.

    It was unknown what Chi Tong had said to the other Yang Feng''s ears, but they all nodded their heads, and then Chi Tong walked to the front of Ling Ming. The other Yang Phoenix gathered in a circle, spat out a flame from their mouths, and a fireball formed in between them.

    "What are you guys doing?" Ling Ming narrowed his eyes, he did not know what Chi Tong was planning, but if they were to use a mere fireball to defeat him, then Chi Tong was too naive, unless their target was not him, but Su Bing who was in Cold City!

    Thinking of this, Ling Ming''s binocular glared, and the spiritual energy rushed out explosively. Numerous ice pillars appeared, and with a "whoosh whoosh" sound, they directly rushed towards Chi Tong.

    Just as the ice pillar was about to hit Chi Tong, a large wall of ice suddenly burst into flames in front of Chi Tong.

    "You actually dare to burn your life''s Phoenix Marks." Looking at the wall of fire in front of Chi Tong, Ling Ming''s eyes widened in shock as he cried out.

    "As long as we can kill the Shadow God, the Patriarch will naturally help me reform the Phoenix Mark." Chi Tong''s voice came from behind the fire wall, and from that voice, Ling Ming could hear a trace of pride.

    Ling Ming grit his teeth. Burning the Life Phoenix Marks would cause one''s strength to plummet. Even if they were reformed, they were incomparable to a Life Phoenix Marking. A phoenix that burned its Life Phoenix Marks would never be able to cultivate a divine beast. If it wasn''t for the fact that he could rise in status in the Yang Phoenix Clan after killing the Shadow God, Chi Tong probably wouldn''t have ignited his life phoenix pattern.

    Just when Ling Ming was at his wit''s end, the Yang Feng behind Chi Tong had already flung the fireball towards Cold City. Looking at the terrifying fireball, Ling Ming''s binocular eyes were wide open, if the fireball were to hit Cold City, with Su Bing''s current strength, he would definitely die. Without hesitation, he flapped his wings and rushed towards the fireball.

    Seeing that Ling Ming wanted to block the fireball, the fire wall in front of Chi Tong immediately transformed into a gigantic fire spear. The fire spear was extremely fast, and in a flash, it was already beside Ling Ming. Just as the pike was about to strike Ling Ming, Ling Ming''s entire body released a light aura, and countless amounts of ice condensed out, instantly forming an ice wall. When the pike stabbed onto the ice wall, both sides actually dissipated, and in order to protect Su Bing, Ling Ming had already ignited his life phoenix imprint.

    Without being delayed by the guns, Ling Ming''s figure flashed and appeared under the fireball. A large number of spiritual energy formed an ice wall and the fireball smashed into the ice wall, creating countless cracks.

    "Screech." Ling Ming let out a shrill cry, as countless spiritual energy s surged out and began to replenish the cracks. However, Ling Ming''s strength, which had already burned away his life phoenix imprints, plummeted greatly, and the speed at which the spiritual energy was mending could not keep up with the fireball''s destruction speed.

    Seeing that the ice wall was about to break, Xia Xuan and Su Bing suddenly appeared on Ling Ming''s back.

    "We will give you the soul of the Shadow God. Xia Xuan anxiously said.

    "Screech." Ling Ming screamed again, and without reservation, the spiritual energy gushed out. Under the effect of the spiritual energy, the crevice actually showed signs of healing.

    Xia Xuan and Su Bing looked at each other, then Su Bing supported Ling Ming with his hands as the binocular closed. Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared from Su Bing''s body. The gigantic shadow looked exactly the same as Su Bing, but the gigantic shadow was emitting an astonishing aura, so it was actually the soul of the Shadow God.

    The soul of the Shadow God was unlike the soul of the Deicide, it was only able to be reincarnated after leaving behind a trace of soul, the Shadow God was his reincarnation and was a complete soul. Although Su Bing was unable to unleash the power of the soul of the Shadow God, if it was Ling Ming instead, he would be able to unleash a power that could destroy the heavens and earth.

    When Shadow God came out of Su Bing''s body, he immediately went into Ling Ming''s body, and then, Su Bing lost consciousness, and directly fell down to the ground. Seeing that, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and caught Su Bing, then he activated his spiritual energy and flew straight to the ground. He did not think that he could withstand the might of the battle that was coming up later.

    "Screech." Another cry sounded out. However, this time, the cry even shattered the ice wall. The fireball instantly transformed into an icy ball. Just as the icy ball was formed, it exploded and shattered into fragments of ice.

    "You turkeys dare to assassinate This King." Ling Ming''s binocular was so dark that the Yang Feng''s eyes seemed as if they were about to be sucked in, and upon hearing Ling Ming''s majestic voice, their hearts were actually filled with fear.

 C65

    Chapter 65 - Calming

    In his previous life, Deicide had seven good brothers and only Shadow God dared to call himself the Underworld King. In his understanding of darkness, no one in the entire Mainland could compare to him.

    "Hades, Pluto." Seeing Ling Ming who had been possessed by the Shadow God, Chi Tong''s voice had already started to tremble, and the gaze in which he looked at Ling Ming with was also filled with fear.

    "Water gave you the courage to assassinate This King?" Ling Ming''s black binocular stared straight at Chi Tong, causing Chi Tong''s fear to increase even further.

    "Even if the Sunscorch God saw me, he would still take a detour. How dare you little turkeys find trouble with me? You really don''t know your place." Seeing Chi Tong''s reaction, Ling Ming snorted coldly. After that, he flapped his wings and in the next instant, he was behind Chi Tong. A wave of spiritual energy had already gathered in his phoenix mouth.

    Before Chi Tong could react, Ling Ming had already spat out the spiritual energy from his mouth. As soon as it came into contact with Chi Tong, it exploded, and a mushroom cloud that was thousands of meters tall appeared in the sky with a loud bang.

    Everyone looked at the mushroom cloud in the sky, and without exception, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

    After a long time, a giant shadow fell out of the mushroom cloud. It was Chi Tong, and the current Chi Tong was already completely injured. The entire phoenix was unconscious, and was falling towards the ground.

    The other Yang Phoenix ruthlessly swallowed their saliva. The fear in their eyes when they looked at Ling Ming became even more intense.

    "It''s your turn." Ling Ming turned his head to look at the other Yang Feng. With his deep gaze, it was as if they were already in darkness.

    Suddenly, a massive black space wrapped around all of the Yang Phoenixes. The Yang Phoenixes, who were in the darkness, immediately felt great panic in their hearts. When they tried to rush out of the world of darkness, they couldn''t, and would only collide with their companions in the end.

    However, darkness was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the Yang phoenixes'' strength was rapidly disappearing, as if this dark world would not only devour their hope for life, but would also devour their strength, causing them to panic in this dark world due to the loss of their strength.

    A cage that could not be escaped was losing its strength. There was not even a sliver of light left. In this sort of situation, there was finally someone that could not endure it any longer. Phoenix wings covered their heads as they cried out.

    As Yang Feng roared, invisible flames began to ignite on her body. Even though this flame brought light to the Yang Phoenix''s group, it did not bring hope. Rather, it brought despair. A complete despair arose from within their hearts, as if a nameless flame had ignited within them.

    As the first Yang Phoenix began to burn with invisible flames, clusters of invisible flames began to ignite from the other Yang Phoenix''s body. They simply didn''t have time to extinguish the flames, and all they could do was scream as they were burnt to ashes.

    Outside of the black world, Ling Ming indifferently looked at the black world and remained indifferent towards the screams. When the screams stopped, Ling Ming flapped his wings, and the black world disappeared. However, the Yang Phoenixes no longer existed. Countless motes of dust floated in the wind, and these dozen or so Yang Phoenixes disappeared from this world like this.

    Not long after, a group of black dots appeared in the sky and a group of Shadow Phoenixes quickly arrived behind Ling Ming. One of the older ones respectfully said to Ling Ming: "Elder Ling, may I know where Shadow God Lord is?"

    Ling Ming turned around and looked at the Shadow Phoenixes, and when he activated the Shadow God''s Qi, the deep binocular caused all of the Shadow Phoenix bloodlines to tremble.

    Seeing Ling Ming''s appearance, the shadow phoenix immediately understood. Instantly transforming into a human form, she knelt in the air and said, "Greetings, Lord Ancestor."

    The other shadow phoenixes had no idea what was going on, but a power within their bloodline forced them to kneel in the air and respectfully greeted Ling Ming, "Greetings, Lord Ancestor."

    "Stand up, I''m only attaching myself to this boy. My reincarnation is underneath." This time, Ling Ming''s words gave off a completely different impression. Hearing Ling Ming''s words, the people of the Shadow Phoenixes did not feel any fear, but only reverence towards Ling Ming from the bottom of their hearts.

    BOOM! Ling Ming''s enormous body landed outside of the Cold City, and his pitch black gaze swept across the entire area and saw Su Bing standing on the Wall. A huge figure 30,000-meter-tall directly drilled out of the gas, and then instantly entered Su Bing''s body. His speed was so fast that no one could see him, but that terrifying aura caused the blood in everyone''s body to flow backwards for a moment, making it hard to imagine just how strong that Shadow God actually was.

    Having lost the soul of the Shadow Phoenix, Ling Ming immediately returned to normal. He changed into his Homo sapiens form and knelt outside the Cold City, while the spiritual energy wrapped around his voice and said: "Ling greets Lord Ancestor."

    Just at this moment, dozens of shadow phoenixes landed outside of Cold City. When they saw Ling Ming''s actions, they all took human form, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Greetings, Lord Ancestor."

    The Snow Wind Queen on top of the Wall were filled with surprise, every one of these shadow phoenixes possessed the strength to easily destroy the entire Snow Wind Empire, but now, these experts were all kneeling outside the Cold City. Of course, what they were kneeling on was not Snow Wind Queen but Su Bing alone.

    When the soul returned to her body, Su Bing woke up very quickly. However, Su Bing''s binocular was currently very dark, with not the slightest bit of white in his eyes.

    Su Bing''s figure flashed and appeared in front of Ling Ming, and Xia Xuan and the rest were also brought over.

    "Do you still remember these people?" Su Bing said in a dignified voice.

    Hearing this, Ling Ming immediately understood, and respectfully said: "Greetings Lord God of Death and all elders." Ling Ming''s words caused the other shadow phoenixes to be stunned. However, they quickly reacted and spoke out.

    "When did we become elders?" Wang Hao whispered into Su Bing''s ear.

    Su Bing smiled, he did not have the dignity that an Underworld King should have, he spoke as if he was his close friend: "As my brother, do you guys not have a position?"

    Wang Hao and the others were speechless. In the previous world, they were all Divine Generals, and with so many Divine Generals becoming elders of the Shadowphoenix, didn''t that mean that no one in the entire Beast Kingdom could compare to them?

    "Get up." Ling Ming and the rest said respectfully to Su Bing.

    Su Bing nodded, then turned and left with Xia Xuan and the rest.

    "What is there to respect about the Deicide that has already fallen." A young Ying Feng looked at Xia Xuan who was walking together with Su Bing and could not help but say.

    "Whap." Ling Ming gave the young shadow phoenix a ruthless slap. The young shadow phoenix only knew that Shadow God was the clan''s hero, but did not know that thousand years ago, when the Shadowphoenix met with a calamity, the Deicide had to suffer a heavy injury to save the Shadowphoenix. If not for the Deicide, the Shadowphoenix would probably no longer exist.

    Thinking back to the exhausted look on Deicide''s face after saving Shadowphoenix, and then looking back at the young Shadow Phoenix, Ling Ming''s heart immediately sank.

 C66

    Chapter 66 - Seclusion

    Xia Xuan naturally knew what was happening behind him. A first generation Deicide had been reduced to such a state, he could not help but grit his teeth and clench his fists tightly.

    "This bastard." Su Bing clenched his fists, wanting to turn around and teach this young shadow phoenix a lesson.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan grabbed Su Bing''s shoulder and shook his head.

    Xia Xuan thought that if others were to speak of him behind his back, then that could only mean that he was weak, and could not be blamed on anyone.

    "It''s time to start training." Xia Xuan said in his heart and had already decided to go into closed door cultivation.

    Inside the Snow Wind Empire, Xia Xuan was sitting in a secret room. He had already announced to the outside world that he was going into closed-door training. If Ling Ming was the one to settle all the major issues, he believed that with Ling Ming''s strength, there was nothing in this small Snow Wind Empire that would be difficult for him.

    At this time, Xia Xuan was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed with countless treasures placed beside him. These treasures kept emitting spiritual energy, and all of these spiritual energy, without exception, rushed towards Xia Xuan and revolved above his head, finally forming a whirlpool of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy whirlpool, with Xia Xuan as the center, continuously poured the spiritual energy into Xia Xuan''s body.

    Following the influx of the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan''s aura continued to climb. From the looks of its strength, it was about to break through to the Xuan King of the Second Rank. The last time she was at Beiquan Empire, he did not have much time to cultivate because she had to take care of Little Zheng. However, after fighting so many times, her strength had improved, and now that she had dealt with all the issues, she finally had time to cultivate properly.

    Amidst a sound similar to glass shattering, Xia Xuan''s aura suddenly increased by several times and instantly shook the surrounding heaven and earth treasures into powder. After a week of cultivation, Xia Xuan finally succeeded in reaching the Xuan King of the Second Rank rank.

    Clenching his fist and sensing the incomparably powerful energy in his body, Xia Xuan was excited. In the end, the strongest warrior had the final say in this world, and people without power could only become slaves. If he had had enough strength back then, he wouldn''t have been killed by the Celestial King.

    When he thought of this, Xia Xuan''s heart suddenly surged with energy. The power of the blood aura appeared in his hand, and he gently caressed the book, Xia Xuan''s eyes were extremely blurry, as though he was looking at an old friend. The hand that was caressing the book was actually trembling.

    As if it could feel the emotions that Xia Xuan was passing over, the blood-caked book actually emitted waves of the spiritual energy''s fluctuations. Sensing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy, a hint of emotion surfaced in Xia Xuan''s eyes. Just a moment ago, Xia Xuan was apologizing to the Book of Blood Aura, but as a Weapons of the Deicide, he lived in the human world for a hundred years.

    She had snow-white skin, long black hair, and exquisite facial features. Her movements were gentle and refined, and there was even a sweet smile on her face. It was hard to imagine that such a pure and holy woman was actually the artifact spirit of the Book of Blood Light.

    It was unknown if he had seen this face for hundreds of years. In the hundreds of years that the soul of the Deicide roamed the mortal world, he had thought about these divine instrument and now that he had seen the artifact spirit of the Book of Blood Light, Xia Xuan''s hands trembled as he stretched them towards the woman and whispered, "Xue Er."

    The woman, who was called Xue Er, used both of her hands to grab onto Xia Xuan''s outstretched hands, allowing Xia Xuan''s hands to caress her own face. Feeling the warmth coming from Xia Xuan''s hands, Xue Er couldn''t help but smile slightly, for the past few hundred years, she had been missing this face every single moment.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan fiercely pulled Xue Er into his embrace, sensing his soft body, Xia Xuan''s strength did not decrease, but instead increased, as though he was afraid of losing her again.

    "Xue Er, do you know where the others are scattered?" Slowly releasing Xue Er, but Xia Xuan held onto Xue Er''s hand and asked.

    "Yes, the closest Big Brother Hu is in Wind Shelter Island. It''s said that every three years, Wind Shelter Island will conduct a Treasure Seeking Competition, and I believe that it''s Big Brother Hu who is looking for him." Xue Er said with her soft voice.

    Hearing Xue Er talk about Big Brother Hu, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a sense of melancholy. Zhenghu blood armor, in his previous life, had never once been treated personally by this divine instrument, even when he was sleeping.

    "Master, it can''t be that you''re looking for Xue Er to cultivate a cultivation technique, right?" Looking at Xia Xuan in front of him, Xue Er turned his big eyes in a circle and then giggled.

    Hearing what Xue Er said, Xia Xuan immediately smiled and said: "Xue Er understands me."

    In his previous life, the Deicide had a special characteristic. He never cultivated any martial arts nor did he learn any martial arts, for him, every single move was hundreds of times better than the martial arts wall performed by the other gods. This was also why Xia Xuan could become the number one general of the The Divine Realm.

    Xue Er, who was extremely familiar with Xia Xuan, was naturally able to guess what Xia Xuan was thinking. The Celestial King was powerful, if Xia Xuan still considered himself an enemy with his normal moves, then he would not be able to take revenge against the Celestial King at all. Because of this, Xia Xuan had to possess even more powerful strength, and this power had always been sealed by the Blood Splitter''s Book.

    With a wave of Xue Er''s hand, a wave of spiritual energy gushed out and condensed into a very ancient book in front of Xia Xuan. On the cover of the book was the words "Evilness".

    This was something that he had obtained by chance in his past life, with his knowledge, he was unable to understand the profoundness of this technique, and since Deicide did not practice this technique, he gave it to Xue Er to keep. Now that he had made up his mind to practice this technique, Xue Er immediately took out this mysterious technique.

    "Evilness ˇ­" Looking at the ancient book in his hands, Xia Xuan actually hesitated for a moment. He did not only have this technique, as a Deicide of his generation, he naturally had a treasure store-like martial arts technique, but Su''er had actually taken out this book.

    "This is a gamble. Of all the cultivation techniques, only this book is unknown to its owner. If its owner is able to obtain great power, then its owner can naturally increase the success rate of his revenge. But if he is unable to obtain it, then it would be difficult for his owner to take revenge." Xue Er continued to smile. Based on his understanding of Xia Xuan, he believed that he would definitely learn this technique.

    "Sigh, nothing can be hidden from Xue Er." Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sigh as he looked at the smile on Xue Er''s face. No matter what he was thinking, Xue Er would definitely be able to guess it.

    He shook his head helplessly as he flipped open the "Evilness" book, and a white light immediately rushed into Xia Xuan''s mind. After that, Xia Xuan fainted, but he did not fall onto the stone bed, only seeing Xia Xuan''s head lying on top of Xue Er''s legs.

 C67

    Chapter 67 - Evilness

    This was a chaotic world. Black and black interweaved, and there was no other color. Although there was light, one could not see their fingers or even see them. Although it was dark, it was not like they could not see anything. In this space, Xia Xuan realized that there weren''t any spiritual energy left in his body. He, who didn''t have any spiritual energy, would starve, get tired, and die from exhaustion.

    Xia Xuan who knew nothing about this world could only walk forward aimlessly, unable to determine his own direction or direction. What he knew was that he continued to move forward.

    After approximately two hours, Xia Xuan who did not have a spiritual energy was already rather tired. He sat on the ground and rubbed his legs, but he had nothing he could do.

    "Good and evil indeed." Sighing emotionally in his heart, Xia Xuan stood up and continued to walk forward.

    "Tong." Although the voice was soft, it was clearly heard by Xia Xuan in this completely empty world. Hearing this voice, Xia Xuan immediately became vigilant, his back arched as his ice-cold eyes looked around him, as though he was a wild beast in danger, he remained vigilant in his heart.

    Suddenly, the scene in front of Xia Xuan''s eyes changed, the chaotic world had turned into a forest, in that forest, a forty year old middle aged man holding a large knife, blocking the path of a normal commoner, the family of three obediently handed over everything, but the middle-aged man still killed the family of three.

    Seeing this, Xia Xuan''s heart was immediately enraged. Just as he was about to rush forward and take care of the middle-aged man, the scene suddenly changed, and he saw that in a large courtyard, the middle aged man was sweeping the ground, and a stone suddenly hit the middle aged man''s left eye, immediately blinding him.

    The blind, one-eyed middle-aged man briefly dealt with the situation in the infirmary, and when he spoke to the family head, he was instead reprimanded and threatened by the family head.

    At noon, the middle-aged man finally had time to start his meal. However, the food provided to him was extremely dirty, just like it was for beggars. As he ate the food in the broken bowl, the middle-aged man''s only eye could not help but fill with tears. His gaze towards the courtyard was filled with resentment.

    Just like that, the middle-aged man waited for the family of three to leave the city and then killed them.

    In the center of the city, there was only one building. In the middle of the huge building, there was a grass patch, and a middle-aged man was lying under a tree. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, shining onto the young man''s body, making him feel like a sheep.

    "Brother, you''re being lazy again." A woman ran over to the young man, laughing.

    The young man''s eyes slightly opened as he glanced at the woman, then he closed his eyes and said, "Your brother here has finally gotten some rest, so don''t disturb me."

    "Hmph, I''ll complain." The girl let out a charming snort before walking into the distance. She then ran towards the distance.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan could not help but smile. If only he had such a cute little sister too. Thinking about it this way, the scene in front of Xia Xuan changed once again.

    It was still within the building. It was already late at night, but no one was able to sleep in the middle of the night. Screams, pleas, and angry roars could be heard from the building.

    "For the sake of power, I have no other choice." The young man ignored all of this, a sinister smile on his face. That night, a great fire burned. The bloody light filled the entire sky like a bloody fire.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan''s fists clenched so tight that creaking sounds could be heard. Such a beautiful family, yet that young man had personally destroyed it for the sake of pursuing power. Just as Xia Xuan was about to charge forward and teach the young man a lesson, the image became further and further away from Xia Xuan, and finally disappeared.

    When he returned to the Primal Chaos Realm, Xia Xuan was already at a loss. What did he see during this period? On the surface, the middle-aged man who looked like he did nothing but kill the ugly man in his heart, while on the surface, the kind-looking young man looked like he was someone who would commit all sorts of crimes in order to pursue strength.

    "Are you telling me that good and evil can''t only be seen on the surface?" Xia Xuan shouted towards the Primal Chaos. He believed that there were binocular''s eyes on him throughout this Primal Chaos world.

    There was no response. Xia Xuan caressed his chin with one hand as his brain raced to make sense of the situation.

    Just as Xia Xuan was working hard to learn "Evilness", a tremendous change had occurred in the outside world. At this time, Ying Feng and the rest were all gathered together. At this time, the Shadow Phoenixes had turned the spiritual energy into a cage and were working hard to trap the little Zheng. However, every time the little Zheng charged into the cage, the spiritual energy would become weaker.

    "Lord God of Death, where exactly is your pet from? Why is it so hard to deal with." Ling Ming gritted his teeth with effort. They had been trapped in the Little Zheng for several days, and half of the shadow phoenixes could not hold on any longer. If Xia Xuan still did not come out, with his power, he would destroy everything.

    Xia Xuan who did not have a spiritual energy sat on the ground limply and did not eat nor drink for two days. To a person who did not have a spiritual energy, this was definitely not a small matter and not being able to drink water for three days was not something a normal person could do.

    Sitting paralyzed on the ground, Xia Xuan''s mind was filled with that scene. Why did the master of this Primal Chaos want him to see that scene?

    "Evilness ˇ­" Xia Xuan muttered these two words as his mind continued to ponder over the meaning of those two images.

    After a day had passed, Xia Xuan did not even have the strength to sit still. He was lying on the ground without moving, and the binocular was already extremely exhausted.

    Slowly, Xia Xuan''s eyes closed, but before he fell asleep, his face had a hint of a smile, and he heard a barely audible voice saying: "How stupid, didn''t those two pictures talk about the title of the novel, Evil and Good?"

    The moment he finished speaking, Xia Xuan fell into a deep sleep, but the chaos still started to revolve. The heads of Xia Xuan started spinning in the chaos, which was alternating between black and white, forming a vortex, and the center of the vortex was between Xia Xuan''s eyebrows.

    "After hundreds of millions of years, only you have barely qualified. I hope you will not let down on my efforts." A voice that seemed to contain the might of heaven and earth resounded from within the Primal Chaos. After that, the Primal Chaos swiftly flowed from the center of Xia Xuan''s eyebrows, and entered his mind through the center of his brows.

    Endless chaos gushed into Xia Xuan''s mind in the blink of an eye, and then, Xia Xuan''s eyelids actually twitched a little.

    Chapter 68 - Exit

    After the disappearance of the Primal Chaos, Xia Xuan''s soul was already in the depths of his brain. When its body opened, its flesh also opened. It was still that secret room, still on the stone bed. However, Xia Xuan did not feel any aching pain from lying on the stone bed for so long. Instead, he felt like he was sleeping in the clouds.

    So it turns out that Xue Er had always been providing Xia Xuan with a knee pillow. Seeing that Xue Er still maintained his smile, Xia Xuan''s eyes were filled with gratitude.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, the smile on Xue Er''s face grew a bit more, giving off a very obedient and cute feeling. Xue Er said with a soft voice: "How''s Xie Xie Xie?"

    "It is unable to give an accurate judgement, but one thing is certain. That is, it is very strong." With that, Xia Xuan clenched his hand. He had obtained another wave of power, but he was currently unable to control this power, so much that he did not have complete understanding of it.

    As his strength increased, Xia Xuan''s mind was already a field of darkness. This was a space that was only a hundred meters wide, and the space inside was snow-white, so all that could be seen was a blood colored light sphere and a chaos light sphere. The blood colored light sphere was naturally the sleeping Deicide.

    Arriving beside the Primal Chaos Orb, Xia Xuan narrowed his eyes and circled around the orb non-stop. No matter how Xia Xuan looked at it, he couldn''t see anything special about the orb. However, if one were to say that this chaos ball was a useless object, then one would truly be a fool.

    Xia Xuan extended his hand, wanting to touch the orb of chaos, but just as his hand was about to touch the orb of chaos, a sense of danger suddenly came over him, and the source of that feeling of danger was the orb of chaos before him.

    As a powerful God, it was very difficult to create a sense of danger, but if this sense of danger was created, then it couldn''t be wrong. The sphere of chaos in front of him was definitely not an object within a pool.

    "Interesting." Xia Xuan retracted his palm, held his chin and looked at the orb of primal chaos in front of him, and couldn''t help but reveal a playful smile.

    As his consciousness recovered, Xia Xuan opened his binocular and glanced at Xue Er, who was obediently sitting at the side. He couldn''t help but touch Xue Er''s smooth long hair.

    "Master, I suggest that you quickly go and take a look at that pet of yours. Something might have happened." Xue Er''s words immediately caused Xia Xuan to jump in fright. The Little Zheng was a treasure that he had searched for thousands of years to find, he had long treated it as his own son, and if something were to happen to the Little Zheng, he would die from grief.

    Hurriedly asking Xue Er to return to the Bloody Hash Book, Xia Xuan opened the doors to the secret room without saying a word, and in a flash, he rushed out of the room.

    At this time, the Cold City was already in a state of panic, as countless citizens were already moving out of the city. In the middle of Cold City, the little Zheng''s body was already blood-red, the horns on his head had also grown a bit, and the surrounding buildings had all been shattered by the little Zheng''s tremendous force that had spread out as a result of colliding with the cage.

    Elder Ling, when will Lord God of Death come out? " A shadow phoenix asked Ling Ming. From the looks of it, it was obvious that his forehead was covered in perspiration.

    "Don''t even think about it. Just hold on, just use all the strength you have." Ling Ming roared, and then the spiritual energy rushed out like a flood, stabilizing the cage.

    Time passed by slowly, and many of the Shadowgale disciples had already fallen to the ground. In the end, only Ling Ming was still struggling to survive. Helpless, Ling Ming could only transform into a giant shadow to raise his strength, then bitterly endure.

    Just as everyone was panicking, a figure suddenly appeared beside the cage. The figure held the black scale lance in one hand and the blood colored ancient book in the other, impressively, was Xia Xuan, who everyone was waiting for.

    "Small Flood Dragon, Xue Er, I''ll leave it to you." Xia Xuan glanced at the little Zheng in the cage. In the hundred odd books in his previous life, it was written that the Zheng was born to fear all things. If the master was not by his side for a long period of time, he would enter a berserk state.

    Turning his head to look at Ling Ming who was in the sky, Xia Xuan was instantly shocked. He saw that a few spiritual energy s had slowly passed into the cage, with their wings flapping slowly.

    Others might not know, but Xia Xuan understood that the Fifth Elder of Shadowphoenix had a small reputation even in the The Divine Realm. To be able to exhaust Ling Ming, who was extremely powerful, was something that even a Divine Beast would find hard to do.

    "So powerful." Looking at the little Zheng again, Xia Xuan could not help but exclaim.

    Suddenly, Ling Ming''s figure flashed and he transformed into a human figure, and directly descended from the sky. Seeing that, Xia Xuan immediately activated his spiritual energy, and got supported by countless other spiritual energy, as they slowly placed him on the ground.

    Having lost the restraints of the cage, the little Zheng immediately let out a furious roar and ran off into the distance. At this time, a giant flood dragon appeared in front of him. It was the flamethrower in the shape of a flood dragon.

    The so called ''one mountain does not allow two tigers,'' let alone two divine beasts meeting each other, naturally there was jealousy in their eyes. The little Zheng''s four short legs stomped on the ground and actually rushed straight towards the flamethrower. The small Zheng was completely out of proportion to the Flood Dragon, but when the flamethrower tried to stop the Little Zheng, it discovered that the Little Zheng''s explosive strength was actually somewhat difficult for it to resist.

    Just as the flamethrower was struggling to fight against the little Zheng, a ray of light descended. Under the enveloping of the light, the little Zheng''s Qi suddenly decreased, while the flamethrower''s Qi increased explosively.

    Under Xue Er''s illumination, the flamethrower gradually suppressed the little Zheng. Just as the little Zheng was about to burst with even more power, a shout suddenly sounded out.

    "Enough." Hearing this shout, no matter if it was the flamethrower or Xue Er, both withdrew their hands, even the little Zheng was stunned.

    The Zheng''s eyes gradually returned to normal as he turned his head to look at Xia Xuan. Tears rolled down from his eyes as he excitedly pounced towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan hugged the little Zheng to distance himself from it, then looked at it with a stern gaze, causing the little Zheng to shrink back in fear.

    Looking at the little Zheng''s pitiful appearance, the anger in Xia Xuan''s heart instantly disappeared by half. He could not help but burst out laughing, and then laughed at the little Zheng: "Next time you can''t be like this."

    After hearing what Xia Xuan said, the little Zheng nodded its head with all its might, and a bright smile blossomed on its face.

    Chapter 69 - Cirrus House

    The Tiger Roar Country was the richest seaside empire in the Human Realm, and as the Emperor''s shore, it had winds blowing all year round, making it impossible for ships to go into the sea.

    On the contrary, there was an island not too far away from this country. On the island, a large amount of violent winds would howl and sweep the countless ocean resources to the shore every year. Every resident of the Tiger Roar Country had a plot of land in the Tiger Roar Country, so everyone only needed to go to their own plot of land to collect seafood.

    It was said that the reason the island gave off such a fierce wind was because there was a divine instrument on the island. Every three years, the island would have a week''s time to stop the wild wind and countless Qi Cultivators would come to search for treasures.

    Every year, there would always be Qi practitioners fighting on the island when searching for treasures. Once, the divine instrument was discovered and all the people on the island would kill each other. In the end, only one person would come back, but the divine instrument would not recognize him as its master. Thus, several Qi Cultivation Sects organized a Treasure Seizing Competition. If one wanted to go to the island, they had to abide by the rules.

    Standing at the side of the ocean, and the little Zheng sat on Xia Xuan''s shoulders, they both felt the gentle sea breeze and smelled the slightly salty sea breeze. Xia Xuan and the little Zheng both sighed deeply, but in the next moment, Xia Xuan hardened his face and helplessly looked at the seven people beside him.

    "I''m not here for fun, why did you guys follow me?" Xia Xuan said helplessly, he really did not understand why these seven people were following him.

    "If you want to play, then we won''t come. Ling Ming said he wanted you to help us cultivate." Su Bing crossed his arms across his chest, snorted lightly, and spoke very righteously.

    Xia Xuan was also extremely helpless. He had indeed requested Ling Ming to help him cultivate, but Xia Xuan had always believed that with soul, they wouldn''t need to spend too much effort in cultivation to cultivate to the state they had in their previous life.

    "Don''t complain anymore, you have to be stubborn. With us brothers accompanying you, the path of cultivation will not be lonely." Wang Hao patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder, and the words that came out caused the entire audience to laugh.

    The Participant s of the Treasure Seizing Competition would all gather at a place called Xiao Feng City, and Xia Xuan did not want to become the target of public criticism because he did not want to cause any problems, so he obediently went to Xiao Feng City.

    Walking on the streets of Xiao Feng City, Xia Xuan was looking forward to the Treasure Seeking Competition. After all, the strength of the people who had come proved how charming the Zhenghu blood armor was. He was actually very satisfied with his divine instrument, but did not know how many knowledgeable people there were in Human Realm.

    Suddenly, a carriage sped across the street, and all the pedestrians anxiously ran, but Xia Xuan saw a child not far away eating candy, completely unresponsive to the carriage.

    Just as the carriage was about to collide with the child, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and carried the child away, and the binocular stared straight at the carriage as it sped away, the anger in her heart burning. If he knew who the person in the carriage was, she would definitely not let that person know the meaning of ''evil revenge''.

    After calming himself down, Xia Xuan and the rest continued on their journey. Just as he was about to forget about everything, a horse carriage caught his attention. Upon a closer look, it was the carriage that he had almost bumped into earlier.

    A young man around 20 years old slowly walked down from the horse carriage, the young man was covered in silk and had a smile on his face. If it wasn''t for the incident earlier, Xia Xuan would probably still have a good impression of him.

    The moment the man stepped out of the carriage, the surrounding people all surrounded him. They were extremely respectful to the young man.

    Xia Xuan did not pay attention to the young man, but instead, walked straight towards a building not far away. The building was where the Participant gathered, and it was not too late to teach the young man a lesson.

    Just as Xia Xuan and the rest were walking in front of the young man, the young man who was talking to the rest stared at Xia Xuan, a crafty look in his eyes, and after taking care of the people who came to greet him, he walked over to Xia Xuan.

    "Fellow brothers, may I know if you''re here to participate in the Treasure Seizing Competition?" As the young man walked along the road to where Xia Xuan was, he clasped his hands at Xia Xuan and the others and spoke with a sense of politeness.

    "What does it have to do with you?" Seeing that the young man had delivered himself to him, Xia Xuan could not help but smile slightly. Since this fellow had delivered himself to his doorstep, then he would not be polite.

    To Xia Xuan''s rude words, the youth was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "I am Qing-Yun Sect''s Junior Sect Leader, Qingyun Huang."

    The Qing-Yun Sect, the strongest sect in the Tiger Roar Country, was also the host of this Treasure Seizing Competition.

    Xia Xuan naturally knew why Qing Yun Huang had to reveal his identity. Travelling in the martial arts world, relationships were very important, and seeing the actions of the people from before, Xia Xuan knew that if he offended the people in front of him, then there would definitely be many difficulties in the Treasure Seizing Competition. This was also Qing Yun Huang''s warning.

    Xia Xuan didn''t have any reaction to this. He shrugged his shoulders and with a cold smile, he continued, "Still, what does that have to do with me?" With that said, Xia Xuan and the group walked towards the meeting point, no longer paying any attention to the Proclamation of Azure Sky.

    With regards to Xia Xuan''s attitude, the surrounding people were also greatly shocked. Although the Qingyun Peak was not some genius, the Qing-Yun Sect behind him was not weak. After offending him, Xia Xuan and the rest would probably have to face many difficulties during the competition.

    A series of sighs at Xia Xuan''s impulsiveness rang out, all of them looked at Qing Yun Huang, only to see that he had already bitten the gingiva and was creaking. He gloomily stared at Xia Xuan and the rest''s backs, without question, he had already started to think of ways to obstruct Xia Xuan and the rest.

    Arriving at the front of the building, just as Xia Xuan was about to enter the hall, a guard stopped Xia Xuan and the rest and said: "Halt, each of you take 10 gold coins to enter."

    "Then why don''t we hand over the others?" Xia Xuan sneered, looked at the people who could enter without paying, and said while staring at the gate.

    "Because you offended someone you shouldn''t have." The gatekeeper looked particularly arrogant, not concealing anything he said. The surrounding people all secretly shook their heads, secretly laughing at Xia Xuan''s attitude when he talked to Qing Yun Huang.

    "You should be the one to say that." As he said that, countless spiritual energy s surged out from Xia Xuan''s body. The terrifying spiritual energy pressure directly bent that person''s waist.

    "Xuan King of the Second Rank." The surrounding people all cried out in alarm. Xuan King of the Second Rank could not be considered very strong, but to reach this level at Xia Xuan''s age, it was something that was rarely seen in a hundred years. I would like to see when the head of the household will come out and take charge. " Saying that, Xia Xuan could not help but increase her pressure, directly pushing the man down until he was paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up no matter what.

    Suddenly, an spiritual energy pressure appeared and blocked Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy pressure. Then, a voice sounded out: "Why do you have to be like that."

    Xia Xuan did not reply, but he did not retract his spiritual energy''s pressure either.

    "Young Lord, he ˇ­" The moment the gatekeeper got up, he wanted to say something to Qing Yun Huang. However, before he could say anything, Qing Yun glared at him and interrupted him.

    If Qing Yun Huang knew that Xia Xuan had the strength of a middle tier Mystical King at such a young age, he would not have caused trouble for Xia Xuan no matter what.

    Chapter 70 - Dragonfall of the Azure Sky

    In one of the streets of the Piercing Wind City, three middle-aged men were walking side by side. When the surrounding people saw the three men, they immediately dodged to the side in fear of causing trouble if they got in their way.

    "City Lord Xiao, have you found out the reason for the sudden peace of the Howling Tiger Island?" The most domineering man among the three suddenly asked a man beside him.

    The man said respectfully to the man who asked the question, "Reporting to the Monarch, I still don''t have a clue."

    Amongst the three people, one of them was Monarch Wu Chen, the one on the left was the City Lord of Xiao Feng City, the other on the right was Qing-Yun Sect''s Sect Leader, Qing Yun.

    "The plan was brought forward." Luo Chen said to Long Tian Yun.

    In fact, Wind Shelter Island suddenly stopped the gale a week ago, so she had no choice but to advance the Treasure Seizing Competition ahead of time. However, they did not know that the reason why Wind Shelter Island did not release the gale was because of a person''s arrival, the expert who once reigned over The Divine Realm ˇŞ ˇŞ Deicide.

    The three of them walked out of the crowd. Because there were so many people, the three of them could not see what was happening inside.

    Xiao Zhan pulled a person from his side and asked, "What happened here?"

    That person obviously recognized Xiao Zhan and immediately said, "Reporting to the City Lord, Qing-Yun Sect''s Young Sect Master fought with him because of a conflict, but Young Sect Master Qing Yun does not seem to be a match for that person."

    Hearing that, Qingyun Feilong''s dignified face immediately filled with rage, he pushed everyone who was in front away away away, just in time to see Xia Xuan and Qingyun Huang. At this point, the Proclamation of Azure Sky was almost unable to withstand Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy''s pressure. Previously, he had mentioned to Xia Xuan countless times that he wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Xia Xuan insisting on an explanation made him feel extremely helpless.

    "What''s going on here?" A vigorous voice resounded, and then another spiritual energy pressure appeared, directly pushing back Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy pressure. Long Feiye pushed everyone aside and came to the side of Qingyun Huang. A hand grabbed his shoulder, secretly losing the spiritual energy to him, but the hand holding him could not help but pinch him as if he was blaming him.

    "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here?" To have such strength at such a young age, there were only two possibilities in this kind of situation. The first was that there was a strong empire standing behind Xia Xuan, and the second was that Xia Xuan had had a fortuitous encounter, so he obtained such a strong power.

    It was unknown if it was because of his protective heart, but Long Chuan firmly believed that Xia Xuan belonged to the latter.

    "I''ve come to participate in the Treasure Seizing Tournament, and yet you''re looking for me to collect money? I''ll have you guys give me an explanation, how did it become me?" Xia Xuan said righteously.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Long Yun immediately became speechless, but when he saw the slightly exhausted look on Yun Xiao Huang''s face, he immediately shouted out: "Nonsense, you''re causing trouble here, and you''re bewitching the masses! I won''t teach you a lesson today!"

    After he finished speaking, a large number of spiritual energy gushed out of the green cloud dragon''s body, raised their huge fists and was about to smash towards Xia Xuan.

    "Hai." With regards to the unreasonable and unreasonable manner in which Yun Che sent a dragon flying, Xia Xuan felt extremely helpless. He could only let out a light sigh, and then, he extended his hand to welcome the dragon.

    As the sect master of the Qing-Yun Sect, Yun Qinghong''s strength had already reached the peak of the Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor. Other than Wang Hao and the others who firmly believed that Xia Xuan would win, everyone else present believed that he would definitely lose.

    However, a miracle happened again. Xia Xuan''s arm was like a coiled snake, coiled around the dragon''s arm, seemingly pushing it back slightly, causing the dragon''s arm to be pushed back. Although Xia Xuan was no longer the Deicide he used to be, this Lord God of Death did not forget about his combat experience. Although Xia Xuan only had one Xuan King of the Second Rank, dealing with one Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor was still a joke.

    With regards to Xia Xuan''s strength, the Azure Sky Dragons were very surprised, the spiritual energy in their hands condensed into a large knife, they held onto the large knife and were about to rush towards Xia Xuan. The scene caused the surrounding people to heave a sigh. How could the dignified Sect Master of a Qing-Yun Sect not hold anything back when dealing with a single Xuan King of the Second Rank?

    Seeing Ling Yun entering with a dragon in his hand as he rushed towards him, and with countless spiritual energy gathering and gathering in his hands, Xia Xuan actually wanted to use his hands to receive Ling Yun''s beast.

    Seeing that the palm and blade were about to collide, Xia Xuan''s hand suddenly became illusory, no one could see how Xia Xuan did it, all they could see was that when Xia Xuan''s hand was no longer illusory, it had already appeared at the side of the large knife, gently slapping its face, yet it seemed like he did not use much strength, causing the entire large knife to fiercely swing to the side, and almost lose control.

    Just as the large knife s came smashing over, Xia Xuan''s palm, which was wrapped in the spiritual energy s, struck toward Long Tianlong''s chest. After feeling Xia Xuan''s terrifying strength, Long Feiye no longer dared to fight against him head on. In the hands of Xia Xuan, the Qing-Yun Sect Sect Master was actually at a disadvantage.

    As soon as Yun Che stepped back, Xia Xuan stood where he was. With both of his hands clasped together, a terrifying spiritual energy began to gather.

    With regards to Xia Xuan''s actions, Dragon Breaks the Heavens was puzzled. The power of this kind of big killing move was indeed great, but if it did not hit someone, no matter how powerful it was, it would be useless.

    Just as Long Haochen was puzzled, a hand pushed him from behind. The force of the push sent him flying.

    However, it was just that the aura was a little weaker. Xia Xuan had actually unknowingly created a clone, and even allowed that clone to circle around to the back of the Incarnations Dragon, which the dragon had not realized yet.

    With this push, Long Tianming was immediately pushed in front of Xia Xuan, and as Long Yun was still in the air, he had no way of dodging all of this. When he looked at Xia Xuan, he could see the corners of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, as if ridiculing Long Yun.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s two fists that were filled with spiritual energy charging towards him, the binocular that had entered the dragon''s body glared. He didn''t even have time to defend. Xia Xuan''s fists fiercely smashed into Long Yun''s stomach, and with a "bang" sound, Long Yun directly flew out.

    The entire audience was speechless, a Xuan King of the Second Rank actually won against a Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor, and looking at how fast the battle was progressing, in the hands of this Xuan King of the Second Rank, this Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor actually had no retaliation at all.

    At this moment, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Xia Xuan with hatred, hatred and fear. Qing Yun Huang was already so scared that his legs were trembling. The only reason he had such a high position was because his father was the Sect Leader of Qing-Yun Sect, and now that Qing Yun had been defeated before his eyes, what confidence did he have in himself?

    Xia Xuan slowly walked toward the green cloud dragon''s entrance, as if he did not plan to let it go just like that.

    "Enough." At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded out. A path was separated from the crowd, and at the end of the path were two people who had been watching from the sidelines.

 C71

    Chapter 71 - Departures

    There were two people at the end of the road. One was tall and powerful with the aura of a Monarch, compared to the previous one, he was skinny and small, but in this city, there was no one who did not know that he was the City Lord of Xiao Feng City, and there was only one person in the entire empire who was able to be even more domineering than Xiao Ji, namely the Tiger Roar Country.

    couldn''t help but smile slightly. He was waiting for these two people, if one were to say that the Qing-Yun Sect supported the Treasure Seizing Competition, then the two were the masterminds. In comparison, he wanted to communicate with the masterminds more.

    "Greetings, Monarch Hao, City Lord Xiao Ji." Xia Xuan said as he cupped his hands towards Xiao Chen and Xiao JIng, but he did not reveal his origins. After all, these large empires did not even know of the existence of Xing Bei.

    "I wonder why you went through so much trouble to lure us out?" He was naturally able to tell that Xia Xuan had been forcing him to come out from the start. He originally thought that he wouldn''t have to worry about the arrival of Yun Che, but he didn''t expect that Xia Xuan was so strong, so he couldn''t help but be cautious.

    "I wonder if I can have a word with you." Xia Xuan spoke again as he looked at the people around him. Luo Chen immediately understood what Xia Xuan meant, and in a flash, the two of them disappeared.

    On a stretch of shore, Xia Xuan sat on a piece of rock, while Wu Chen sat on him. From the looks of it, the two weren''t as simple as discussing things.

    "Brat, you didn''t come for three years, yet you beat up my men the moment you came. It''s not good enough." Obliterated by the sea breeze, the binocular squinted as it looked at the vast ocean and laughed.

    "You want me to come without good wine and dishes? What a joke." Xia Xuan chuckled, the way the two of them talked sounded as though they were close friends for many years.

    "Haha, brat, you''re still as good as ever." In all the years he had been the emperor, there had never been anyone who laughed so heartily.

    "To tell you the truth, I, your brother, am here to ask for something." Xia Xuan said.

    "I have long guessed your purpose. In that case, go. I will help deal with those people." "No, that''s not right. I''m the big brother. You''re not allowed to mess up my seniority." And then, with a "bang" sound, the Monarch seemed to have hit his own little brother, hitting Xia Xuan on the head.

    The biggest dock in Xiao Feng City was called Tiger''s Roar Wharf, and there were no boats coming from outside. Because it was not open to the public, only every three years, during the Treasure Seizing Competition, would there be a large number of Participant that headed towards the mysterious island, Wind Shelter Island.

    Xia Xuan and Wu Chen slowly walked to Tiger''s Roar Wharf. At this time, the dock was already filled with people, and ten boats were already docked at the edge of the pier. Countless people were surrounding the dock, waiting to get on the ship.

    When Xia Xuan and Ou Chen arrived, countless gazes landed on them. When everyone saw Xia Xuan and Ou Chen chatting and laughing together, they all felt great shock in their hearts, but they had all thought that Xia Xuan and Ou Chen had reached a consensus. They didn''t know that Xia Xuan and Ou Chen had actually known each other for a long time.

    "Everything is ready, we are just waiting to set off." Xiao Zhan walked in front of Wu Chen and said.

    Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to move first. This time, Wind Shelter Island suddenly stopped the fierce winds, and no one knew when Wind Shelter Island would release the strong winds again, because the strong winds from Wind Shelter Island could easily tear a Xuanhuang to shreds, so who would be willing to be this stepping stone.

    Right at this moment, everyone turned to look at Xia Xuan. A powerhouse that could defeat a dragon had already become the target of expectation for everyone at this moment. With regards to this, Xia Xuan also felt extremely helpless. He could only shake his head and walk towards the boat.

    Seeing Xia Xuan making his move, Wang Hao and the rest immediately followed, and the group of eight boarded a small boat. Because of the large number of participants, the Howling Tiger Empire did not provide any large ships that were too luxurious for the competition. After all, the Howling Tiger Empire did not provide any large ships that were too luxurious for the competition, and after all, the Howling Tiger Empire did not provide any large ships that were too luxurious for the competition.

    Watching as Xia Xuan and the others slowly left, the Participant looked at each other and then rushed to get on the boat. With Xia Xuan and the other pathfinders present, even if something bad happened to them, it would be them who would be the first to get into trouble. However, what no one knew was that as long as Xia Xuan was present, the Wind Shelter Island would definitely not emit any more fierce winds, because the Zhenghu blood armor was currently welcoming the arrival of its own master.

    Just like that, as Xia Xuan and the others stepped onto the road towards the Wind Shelter Island, a light sea breeze blew past them, bringing with it a fishy smell. A few fish would occasionally jump out of the water, it was hard to imagine this kind of place was something many Qi practitioners feared before.

    "So comfortable." Sensing the feeling of the sea breeze blowing across his face, Mo Youxue could not help but exclaim. In this kind of environment, girls always enjoyed it a lot.

    "Do you know how terrifying it is when Wind Shelter Island blows the gale? You won''t feel that everything you''re saying is good when the time comes. " Just as everyone was feeling happy, Wu Zhi suddenly spoke out, instantly reducing everyone''s interest.

    "Get ready to pass the wind." Just at this moment, Xia Xuan uttered a warning. A black cloud had already appeared in the distance, and countless tornadoes swirled on the surface of the sea, sweeping the seawater up to the sky.

    This was a tornado zone between the Wind Shelter Island and the Tiger Roar Country, it was unknown whether or not the Zhenghu blood armor was doing it on purpose, but the tornadoes in this area did not disperse, and the tornadoes that accumulated here throughout the year had already formed into a group of tornadoes. In the past Treasure Seizing Contest, more than half of the Participant s would be stuck here, unable to pass because of this area. Before even entering the tornado area, countless amounts of seawater fell from the sky. When seawater hit the sea, it made "bang bang" sounds and the strength was not small. If the seawater hit the boat, it was likely the wooden boat would not be able to block it. Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the blood colored spiritual energy condensed into a huge light shield, immediately enveloping the small boat. The ocean water did not have any reaction to the light shield, but the "bang" sound of it made everyone tremble in fear.

    Slowly entering the tornado group, strong gales tore the light shield apart. Occasionally, a fish would be pulled out of the water by the strong winds, but before it could fly up to the sky, it was already torn to shreds by the strong winds. Under the gusts of wind, the spiritual energy on top of the light shield were torn apart layer by layer, but when these spiritual energy were torn apart, another wave of spiritual energy would come to replenish them.

    Although the tornado was not very big, Xia Xuan and the rest took an entire two hours to pass. When Xia Xuan recalled the light shield, its lips were already completely white, and with the strength of his Xuan King of the Second Rank, he surpassed the tornado.

    This was a test of the Zhenghu blood armor, so Xia Xuan did not let anyone else help.

    Chapter 72 - The Upper Island

    Turning their heads to look at the tornado behind them, they saw that the Participant s had crawled into the tornado one after another. Although they were using spiritual energy s to transform themselves into light shield, their use of spiritual energy s was obviously not as good as Xia Xuan''s. Thus, when they entered the tornado to form a group, miserable cries rang out one after another. It was so much that they hesitated whether or not they should enter.

    No longer looking behind him, Xia Xuan''s gaze moved forward. A small black dot had already appeared not too far away. There was no doubt that the black dot was his target, Wind Shelter Island.

    "Old friend, we''re finally going to meet." Looking at the black dots in the distance, Xia Xuan''s emotions were incomparably complicated. When he had fallen at that time, he was still apologetic towards these divine instrument of his, and so many famous divine instrument had been scattered all over the Human Realm for him. Thinking about it this way, Xia Xuan thought about the other divine instrument, and wondered where the other divine instrument had landed.

    Although the Wind Shelter Island could already see them, it had already been two hours since Xia Xuan and the others arrived.

    The island was not big, but it emitted a mysterious feeling. Standing on the island, there was a sense of pressure, as if somewhere in the forest, a binocular was looking at him.

    After going through a large amount of islands, Xia Xuan and the rest immediately went into the Forest. Another small boat went onto the island, but when they were about to go inside the Forest, a shadow suddenly flashed past them. The leader of the group immediately realized that there was one less person and shouted, "Something''s wrong."

    Everyone formed a fist, a pair of binocular eyes unconsciously condensed in the palm of their hands, ready to deal with any sudden situation at all.

    Just as everyone was looking around them, a blood-red tiger man stood up from among them. The tiger man''s breath caused a person''s hair to move, and that person slowly turned his head to look behind him. When he saw the tiger man, he immediately cried out.

    Even Xia Xuan and the others who were walking in the middle of the Forest heard this. Immediately, he felt that something was amiss as he ran out of the Forest hurriedly, and in that instant, he felt a familiar Qi. This hidden blood Qi, it was filled with a wild Qi, it was definitely not wrong, it was the Zhenghu blood armor.

    After a while, Xia Xuan was already on the beach. When Wang Hao and the others caught up, they found that Xia Xuan was standing on the beach, staring at a pile of messy footprints. There were still a few drops of blood among the footprints, and if they took a closer look, they would find that there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

    "It''s the Zhenghu blood armor." Xia Xuan stared at the footprints on the beach with a serious expression. In his previous life, he had told the divine instrument that he couldn''t hurt mortals for no reason.

    "Little Zheng." Xia Xuan placed the little Zheng on the ground and indicated for it to smell the scent.

    "Gulp." The little Zheng gurgled. It was very dissatisfied with Xia Xuan using it like a dog, but it did not resist. In the end, it still started to sniff on the ground obediently.

    After circling around the footprints for a while, as if the little Zheng had discovered something, he roared towards the distance. Xia Xuan and the others looked over and saw a tall and big figure standing on the peak of a mountain in the distance.

    Black Tiger turned his head and looked at Xia Xuan, who was standing far away, with his blood-colored eyes filled with anger. Looking at the direction the black tiger disappeared in, Xia Xuan''s gingiva began to gnaw. If the Zhenghu blood armor really did kill someone, he would teach the Zhenghu blood armor a lesson, but on principle, he did not know how to make a move against Xia Xuan, who was ashamed of the Zhenghu blood armor.

    Clenching his fists, Xia Xuan no longer thought about that as he fiercely stomped on the ground. His figure explosively rushed forward as he chased in the direction in which the black tiger had disappeared.

    Wang Hao and the others looked at each other. They clearly knew why Xia Xuan was doing this, but they had no choice in this matter.

    Soon enough, Xia Xuan arrived at the area where the black tiger had disappeared. The little Zheng who was lying on the ground smelled the scent, Xia Xuan''s two fists of spiritual energy gathered together as he vigilantly looked around. Although the Zhenghu blood armor was once Xia Xuan''s Weapons, no one could guarantee that the Zhenghu blood armor would not kill them because of Xia Xuan''s anger.

    Wang Hao and the others chased after him again, but before they could stabilize themselves, the little Zheng shouted at Wang Hao and the others, and then a black figure flashed several times and appeared behind Mo Haoxue.

    As the Weapons of the Deicide, it naturally understood the Five Great God s very well. In this group, the Zhenghu blood armor could smell the scent of the God of All Things from Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue, and Mo Haoxue, as the one who could control plants, had the ability to control the entire audience. If they did not defeat Mo Haoxue first, the strength of this team would increase by at least 30%.

    Seeing the black shadow almost reach Mo Haoxue, everyone could do nothing. At this moment, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and appeared between Mo Haoxue and the black shadow. The flamethrower had already appeared in his hands, and the tip of his spear was piercing towards the black shadow.

    Zhenghu blood armor naturally knew how powerful flamethrower were, and did not clash head on with flamethrower. She dodged to the side in a flash, but before Xia Chen could react, the black figure had already disappeared into nowhere.

    "Little Tiger, I''m back. You can''t forgive me. I swear I won''t let you stay here any longer." Although he could not find the Zhenghu blood armor, Xia Xuan knew that it was definitely around. He shouted loudly towards the surroundings, hoping that the Zhenghu blood armor would come out and meet him.

    There was no response, and no Zhenghu blood armor appeared. Regarding Xia Xuan''s words, the Zhenghu blood armor did not seem to be moved at all.

    Seeing that the Zhenghu blood armor did not make any movements, Xia Xuan could only grit his teeth and the book on the blood aura appeared in his hand. With a flash of light, Xue Er appeared in front of Xia Xuan. Xue Er nodded his head towards Xue Er, he only saw Xue Er turning around to look at the dense forest, where the book appeared in his hand, it shot out a blinding light, causing the surrounding leaves to turn into blood Qi, and then was absorbed into the book.

    The leaves were all absorbed, but they still did not see the Zhenghu blood armor, Xue Er only waved her hand, releasing a ray of light that exploded. Without the cover of the tree trunk, a black shadow jumped out and ran towards the distance.

 C73

    Chapter 73 - Blood Tigers

    Seeing the black silhouette run out, Xia Xuan immediately gave chase without saying a word, leaving Wang Hao and the rest with helpless expressions.

    Countless birds flew out from the originally calm Forest. Two figures, one running and one chasing. With a "whoosh" sound, two figures brought about two gusts of wind that blew away the trees around them.

    Suddenly, the shadow that had been running away stopped. It was a human-shaped black tiger. The bulging muscles on its body showed the terrifying strength of the black tiger. Just as Black Tiger stopped, the figure that was chasing him also stopped. Looking at his black hair and his entire body covered with the aura of blood, he was impressively Xia Xuan.

    stopped and immediately observed his surroundings. This place was surrounded by three sides of a mountain, and looked like the Black Tiger had reached a dead end, but Xia Xuan knew that with the Zhenghu blood armor''s capabilities, there was no way they would lure him here. They must have a reason for coming.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan found out the reason. Beside a patch of grass, there were a few Qi Cultivators who were tied up, one of them even had a serious injury. Seeing these people, Xia Xuan immediately understood. Zhenghu blood armor was only going to capture these people, he did not want them to disturb his reunion with Xia Xuan.

    Knowing that the Zhenghu blood armor did not kill him, Xia Xuan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

    "I didn''t kill anyone. Happy?" Black Tiger looked at Xia Xuan and sneered.

    Xia Xuan did not reply. Although he was happy in his heart, he was unable to express it.

    "Humph!" The Zhenghu blood armor snorted, then in a flash, it arrived in front of Xia Xuan and punched him ruthlessly, directly sending him flying dozens of meters away.

    Looking at Xia Xuan who was slowly getting up from the ground, the Zhenghu blood armor''s face had a cold smile on it, and said with a disdainful voice: "Look at how you are now. If it was any other divine instrument, they would have already killed you."

    Xia Xuan slowly crawled up from the ground, and the flamethrower already appeared in his hands. He then heard Xia Xuan gritting his teeth as he said: "If you want power, I''ll let you see my power."

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan held onto pike. The binocular fiercely stomped on the ground and rushed towards the Zhenghu blood armor, the tip of the flamethrower''s spear pointed straight at the Zhenghu blood armor.

    Just as the flamethrower was about to strike the Zhenghu blood armor, a cold snort sounded. The Zhenghu blood armor''s fist the size of a human head directly flew towards Xia flamethrower.

    When the fist and spear collided, it produced a miraculous spark. The impact from the collision caused the spiritual energy to directly push all the surrounding trees to the ground, and even the rocks on the ground to dust.

    "Swish!" A figure flew out, the pike stabbed into the ground, the figure holding onto the pike drew tens of meters on the ground, the hand holding onto the pike had already started bleeding, the entire arm had lost feeling. Looking at the deep mark left by the pike, Xia Xuan was extremely shocked.

    There was a divine instrument rankings in the The Divine Realm, and there were several types of divine instrument. The first defense type divine instrument was indeed called Zhenghu blood armor, and Zhenghu blood armor were the best at defense. Comparing the two, the Zhenghu blood armor''s power was not that great. However, to the current Xia Xuan, the Tiger Shaking Blood Armor did not have much power, but it could still destroy him in one move.

    "If this is your power, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. I will wait for others to come and subdue it." The Zhenghu blood armor glanced at Xia Xuan''s miserable state, as if it was dissatisfied with Xia Xuan''s performance.

    "When I first tamed you, I promised you that I would give you status." Xia Xuan held onto the flamethrower with his other hand and stood up again, saying: "Can''t you give me one more chance now?"

    The Zhenghu blood armor could not help but crease its eyebrows. A thousand years ago, the Deicide had promised all of them a supreme status when he subdued the divine instrument, and later on the Deicide did it, and amongst the divine instrument, other than those that had yet to grow, the rest of the divine instrument occupied first place in the divine instrument rankings. Someone once joked that if one wanted a divine instrument, he or she had to find one. The best divine instrument in the entire The Divine Realm were all in his or her hands.

    "You have given us status and reputation, given us supreme honor, but you let us live in the Human Realm for over a hundred years. If you do not defeat me, I will not leave with you." The Zhenghu blood armor hardened his heart and said.

    "In that case." Xia Xuan held onto the flamethrower and increased his strength. The spiritual energy had already wrapped his other hand. Xia Xuan stomped on the ground again, but his speed had increased a little, and in a flash, he was in front of the Zhenghu blood armor. The flamethrower''s wide chest was pierced by the spear tip, but it could not even scratch the Zhenghu blood armor''s fur.

    The Zhenghu blood armor snorted again, raising its tiger fist, about to smash towards Xia Xuan. When the Zhenghu blood armor was about to smash into Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan dodged to the side, and a ray of light flew beside the Zhenghu blood armor. Every time the ray of light passed by the Zhenghu blood armor''s body, there would be a metallic clanging sound, and at the same time, there would be a burst of sparks.

    When its fist had missed Xia Xuan, the Zhenghu blood armor was not anxious at all. It basically did not care about Xia Xuan''s current strength, and with Xia Xuan''s current strength, he could not hurt it in the slightest.

    It was unknown how long Xia Xuan had been fighting for, but the Zhenghu blood armor seemed to have grasped the opportunity and its tiger fist directly smashed towards a figure of light rushing towards him from behind. It was impossible for the light figure to dodge, so it could only use its pike s to block in front of it. The gigantic tiger fist landed on the flamethrower s, as if it had lost all momentum, and before Xia Xuan could even stop, it turned into a cannonball, smashing apart dozens of trees a hundred meters away.

    The Zhenghu blood armor did not hold back at all. Stepping onto the ground, it sent dozens of huge rocks flying, and with a few quick punches from the Zhenghu blood armor, those large rocks all transformed into cannonballs as they flew in Xia Xuan''s direction. When the huge rocks came crashing down, they instantly shattered into pieces, and the small rocks that exploded destroyed all the objects on its route.

    Just as the Zhenghu blood armor thought that the battle was about to end, a figure suddenly burst out from where Xia Xuan was standing. The figure held a spear in both hands as the gingiva bit down hard. The binocular was filled with determination and its body was covered in countless of bloody scars.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was still unmoved, the Zhenghu blood armor extended her huge tiger claw and grabbed onto Xia Xuan''s neck. No matter how Xia Xuan struggled, it was useless.

    Just then, a blood colored ancient book flew out from Xia Xuan''s body. The ancient book transformed into a white figure the moment it appeared, Xue Er''s jade palm suddenly imprinted onto the Zhenghu blood armor''s chest. This palm strike did not seem to be very powerful, but it sent the Zhenghu blood armor flying.

    Supporting Xia Xuan, Xue Er looked at the Zhenghu blood armor with surging rage in his eyes, he said with slight anger: "Big Brother Hu, don''t go overboard, you have also seen master''s determination, don''t tell me you still don''t forgive him?"

    Based on Xue Er''s understanding of Zhenghu blood armor, they would definitely not kill Xia Xuan. She believed that the Zhenghu blood armor was only testing Xia Xuan''s determination.

    The truth was within Xue Er''s expectations, the Zhenghu blood armor walked in front of Xue Er and used its tiger claws to rub Xue Er''s head, revealing a simple and honest smile.

    The flamethrower turned into a Small Flood Dragon dragon and circled over to the Zhenghu blood armor''s shoulder a few times. The Small Flood Dragon''s tail patted the Zhenghu blood armor''s head, as if it was reprimanding the Zhenghu blood armor.

    The Zhenghu blood armor touched the Small Flood Dragon and still wore a simple and honest smile on her face.

    Turning his head to look at the pale Xia Xuan, the honest smile on the Zhenghu blood armor''s face immediately disappeared, and was replaced with a serious look.

    The Zhenghu blood armor kneeled down and said respectfully: "Blood Tiger greets Master."

 C74

    Chapter 74 - Flood Dragon slaying

    Wang Hao''s group of seven stood not far away, watching the scene. Even though Xia Xuan did not defeat the Zhenghu blood armor, it was fortunate that Deicide had good eyes, and had subdued a group of loyal companions.

    Three days later, the Wind Shelter Island blew again, causing all the Qi Cultivators who came to the Wind Shelter Island to pee their pants, and ran away from the Wind Shelter Island as if they were escaping for their lives. However, Xia Xuan and the rest were resting on the island, not only because Xia Xuan was recuperating, but also because the flamethrower was about to eat.

    In three days, a Mystical King could already recover most of his injuries, but with Xue Er''s help, his strength had increased by a lot, and he was almost at the bottleneck in his Third-rank Xuan King.

    Early in the morning, as the sun rose above the horizon, Xia Xuan restrained his aura and stopped his cultivation. He glanced at his companions who were still sleeping, and quietly walked far away, afraid that he would wake them up.

    Not long after, Xia Xuan arrived at the other side of the Wind Shelter Island. The sun was slowly rising from the ocean surface, illuminating all living things. The morning air was very fresh, as though everything was just born. After taking a look at the beautiful scenery, he couldn''t help but sigh. This beautiful scenery was most likely going to be completely destroyed in the next moment.

    With a wave of his hand, the flamethrower s, the book of the blood light, and the three Zhenghu blood armor s all appeared in a flash. The three Great God s transformed into their artifact spirits, Xue Er and the blood tiger stood beside Xia Xuan while the Small Flood Dragon flames circled around Xia Xuan''s body.

    Even if it was a weapon of the Human Realm, as long as it had a growth attribute, in the eyes of the Deicide, it would be more precious than a divine instrument. The Book of Blood Flash and the Zhenghu blood armor were once just ordinary divine instrument, but under the care of the Deicide, they became The Divine Realm''s famous divine instrument.

    Back then, the Deicide was killed by the Celestial King not long after he subdued the flamethrower. This also caused the current flamethrower to only be a semi-divine apparatus, let alone comparing it to the Great God''s equipment that was ranked first on the divine instrument list.

    "Giant Flood Dragon, you have been hiding in my body for so long. You should have come out to take a breather." Xia Xuan looked at the vast ocean, he did not know who he was talking to.

    As his voice fell, there was no reaction. It was as if there was no such thing as a giant flood dragon.

    Seeing that the Flood Dragon did not react, Xia Xuan could not help but sneer, and said: "If you still do not come out, I will force you."

    This time, what Xia Xuan said clearly worked.''s arm released a large amount of light, and then a giant Flood Dragon appeared on the island.

    As soon as the giant flood dragon appeared, it flew towards the distant sea. It actually wanted to escape.

    Seeing that the giant dragon was trying to escape, Xue Er waved her hand and a ray of light flew out, instantly landing on the giant dragon''s body. The giant dragon that was hit by the light beam did not have any injuries, but its speed had become extremely slow, just like a tortoise crawling.

    Seeing that the giant dragon had slowed down, the blood tiger clenched its fist towards the giant dragon. Following its grip, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy became more and more solid. Although the giant dragon''s speed was not fast, with the giant dragon''s turtle''s crawling speed, it was impossible to dodge. Seeing countless heaven and earth spiritual energy condensing into spiritual energy pillars and forming a cage, the giant dragon had no way of escaping.

    After he rescued the Flood Dragon, this giant Flood Dragon had been lurking within Xia Xuan''s body the entire time. It had originally wanted to make a move against Xia Xuan after he left the Beiquan Empire, but after knowing that there was the existence of the flamethrower on Xia Xuan, it didn''t dare to make a move anymore. It didn''t believe that it could defeat the artifact spirit of a semi-divine apparatus.

    "After hiding in my body for so long, don''t you want to repay me?" Xia Xuan looked at the Giant Flood Dragon that was in extreme fear, and the playfulness in his voice grew even deeper.

    "Kid, it''s not good to not keep your word." The giant dragon binocular stared at Xia Xuan, its eyes filled with hatred.

    After hearing the giant dragon''s words, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sneer at it. He looked at it as if he were looking at a fool and said: "You dare to say that you didn''t have any ulterior motives?"

    The giant dragon could not help but clench its teeth, opening its huge mouth with the intention of roaring at the sky, but an spiritual energy giant hand grabbed onto its mouth, Xia Xuan said: "Wake up my friend and I will skin you alive."

    The giant dragon suddenly struggled free from the blood-colored hand, glared at Xia Xuan, and then rushed towards the cage. It had cultivated to its current strength with great difficulty. If it was allowed to obediently be devoured, it might as well self-destruct.

    BOOM! The giant flood dragon ruthlessly slammed into the cage. The terrifying force collided with the cage, causing it to tremble. It was as if the heaven and earth were trembling because of this, which was extremely shocking.

    "Stubborn fool." Xia Xuan let out a cold snort, and the flamethrower took the shape of a pike. Carrying the pike, Xia Xuan immediately entered the cage and rushed towards the Giant Flood Dragon.

    Wyrm Xia Xuan only dared to challenge him with his Xuan King of the Second Rank and immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart. This was a kind of contempt, a kind of naked contempt that the powerful Wyrm could not tolerate.

    The spiritual energy condensed on top of the huge dragon claw and directly smashed towards Xia Xuan. Although the flamethrower was a semi-divine apparatus, Xia Xuan was only a Xuan King of the Second Rank. With such strength, no matter how good the Weapons was, it would not be able to unleash its strength, so in the eyes of the giant Flood Dragon, Xia Xuan''s actions were extremely unwise.

    Just as the dragon claw was about to hit Xia Xuan, Xue Er waved her hand once again, and a ray of light flew out, but her target was not the giant dragon, but Xia Xuan. When the light rays shone on Xia Xuan''s body, his aura instantly rose dramatically, and in the blink of an eye, he had broken through to the Profound Emperor realm.

    To use a semi-divine apparatus at the level of Profound Emperor, even if it was at its peak, the giant dragon would still be afraid, not to mention that the giant dragon had not fully recovered its strength yet. This time, the dragon finally felt threatened. However, the dragon claw was already unleashed, and there was no time to retract it. The only thing they could do was watch as Xia Xuan brandished the flamethrower, and then, a gigantic dragon claw flew out. In front of the flamethrower, the giant dragon was just like tofu.

    When the dragon''s claws were severed, the giant dragon immediately wanted to roar towards the sky in pain, but just as it opened its mouth, Xia Xuan had already turned into a black shadow. In a flash, he slashed the giant dragon''s throat, preventing it from making a sound.

    The light and shadow flashed again, and Xia Xuan''s figure could not be seen at all as the gigantic dragon was already riddled with scars. After about three minutes, the dragon''s eyes were wide open as it died. Such a powerful Flood Dragon, yet in Xia Xuan''s hands, could not even hold out for three minutes. If anyone else saw this scene, they would probably be greatly shocked.

    Letting go of the flamethrower, it immediately transformed into a Small Flood Dragon, lying on the body of the giant dragon and devouring the dragon''s flesh.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to leave, a dot of light caught his attention. It was the endosperm of the giant dragon. If the spirit beast wanted to increase its strength, the fastest way was to devour other spirit beast s.

    Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the endosperm flew into his hand. Playing with the endosperm in his hand, Xia Xuan muttered: "Little Zheng doesn''t seem to have trained before, my husband''s job is really incompetent."

 C75

    Chapter 75 - The Pier (1)

    The morning sunlight shone on everyone''s faces, waking them up.

    At this time, Xia Xuan had already returned to his place of residence. No one knew that while they were sleeping, Xia Xuan had killed a Profound Master rank Flood Dragon on the other side of the island.

    At this time, Tiger''s Roar Wharf was already filled with a sea of people, there were eight people who had not returned to the Treasure Seizing Competition, but that did not mean that the eight people were already dead, because there were witnesses saying that the eight people had obtained a divine instrument.

    In front of treasures, there would always be people who would lose their rationality. These people who did not even care about their lives would gather together and intercept those eight people, and when some people saw this situation, they would hesitantly join in.

    "Those people haven''t come out for three days. Could it be that they took a detour?" A person in the crowd asked the person beside him. In fact, it wasn''t just him, but many others suspected this as well.

    "Impossible, there''s only one place to land within ten thousand miles of the Wind Shelter Island. If we take a detour, we might starve to death. I heard that those people were injured while taming the divine instrument, they are most likely healing themselves." The person beside him replied.

    "Look, someone''s coming." A person in the crowd pointed at a black dot in the sea and shouted.

    Everyone on the dock looked at the little black dot and saw a small boat drifting along the sea. Eight people sat around the boat, chatting as if they didn''t see the people on the dock.

    The boat gradually floated towards the dock, but no one made a move. Everyone was waiting, waiting for Xia Xuan and the others to land, waiting for them to make the first move. One Xuan King of the Second Rank was not scary, but one Xuan King of the Second Rank with divine instrument was definitely not weak. No one present dared to guarantee that they would be able to survive the attacks of the divine instrument, so everyone waited for the impatient person.

    The boat gradually approached the shore, but no one moved. Everyone was afraid of death and didn''t want to be the leader. Xia Xuan and the rest had already stood up from the boat and were preparing to go ashore. It was as if they did not see the people at the dock, as a smile still hung on their faces.

    "Dong!" The boat lightly touched the shore, and a dong sound rang out. In this quiet situation, it sounded very loud and clear, and when it entered everyone''s ears, the spiritual energy had already gathered at their palms. Sweat flowed down from their foreheads, and everyone was extremely nervous.

    "Dong", Xia Xuan took a step forward. The sound of his feet stepping on the boat could be heard, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

    He took another step forward, but this time there was no knocking. His step was very firm on the surface of the wharf, but the people on the wharf could not hear anything. And from this step, there was finally someone who could not hold it in. Dozens of people leapt, the spiritual energy in their palms congealed, and directly leapt towards Xia Xuan and the others.

    Dozens of people leaped towards Xia Xuan, but Xia Xuan did not make a move to block them, even Wang Hao and the rest behind him did not react, as though they did not see anything.

    Just as the dozens of people pounced at Xia Xuan, a blood colored light shield suddenly appeared, followed by the sound of a tiger''s roar. Before the dozens of people could even land on the light shield, they were sent flying by the tiger''s roar.

    Everyone could not help but retreat, no one could see what Xia Xuan was doing, but the tiger''s roar sounded frequently in the Wind Shelter Island, so it seemed Xia Xuan had used the power of a divine instrument.

    From the corner of his eyes, Xia Xuan saw that everyone''s face was dripping with a few drops of sweat. The occasional sound of a smoke Saliva could be heard, but the greed on every person''s face was actually concealed by a hint of fear.

    The current Xia Xuan had the feeling that he had returned to the Deicide, thinking back to when he was the number one general of the The Divine Realm, how many of the people who were enemies with the The Divine Realm did not look at him in this way.

    "Halt." Just as Xia Xuan was ten metres away, a shout suddenly came out.

    He only saw a group of people floating in the sky not far away, looking at Xia Xuan and the others with gazes filled with disdain.

    "If you have sh * t, hurry up and fart." Xia Xuan did not like the gazes of those people, he did not like those eyes. The eyes that Celestial King used to look at him when she was trying to kill him.

    Chapter 76 - Landing on the Pier (2)

    "Country bumpkin, hand over the divine instrument and remove one of your hands. I''ll spare your lives." Regarding Xia Xuan''s words, the leading man among the crowd was very angry, but he suppressed his anger and pouted his words, hoping to see him make a fool of himself.

    That man wore white clothing, and he had a handsome face. His hands were behind his back, and arrogance hung on his face. The gazes of the surrounding people were filled with reverence, and with a single glance, one could tell that he had been standing high above them for a long time.

    This time, Xia Xuan did not speak, he once again ignored everyone and walked forward, but looking at the killing intent released from his body, he knew what he meant, those who block my path will die.

    "Tch." The man shouted, as countless spiritual energy condensed and rushed towards Xia Xuan, while the people behind him also rushed out at the same time, their auras were not weak, even the weakest was a Mystical King Ranker, and the leading man was a seventh stage Mysterious Sect Ranker.

    Wang Hao and the rest did not react. When they came to Tiger Roar Country, they had already sensed the existence of these people, but they had not seen them during the Treasure Seizing Competition. Xia Xuan had naturally guessed their goal. Although divine instrument were powerful, it was extremely difficult to obtain them, and had to be tested when obtaining divine instrument. When the person who obtained the divine instrument was riddled with scars, and was not proficient in using the divine instrument, they could naturally obtain the divine instrument''s spear easily.

    Seeing that the man was already in front of Xia Xuan, and that the sandbag sized fist was about to hit his face, Xia Xuan did not have any reaction, as though he was going to take the attack head on.

    Regarding Xia Xuan''s actions, the man only thought that Xia Xuan''s heart had expanded after obtaining the divine instrument, and he was completely unguarded against him. Furthermore, the strength of his Xuan King of the Second Rank was not enough to react to such a situation.

    The power on the fist did not decrease but increased instead. Just as the fist was about to land on Xia Xuan''s face, a wave of blood red spiritual energy gushed out from Xia Xuan''s body. Only through personally experiencing it would one know how powerful the tiger''s roar was. The ear-piercing tiger roar caused the man''s eardrums to split, and the terrifying spiritual energy energy wave directly sent everyone flying.

    The blood colored armor had already appeared on Xia Xuan''s body. Its tiger-shaped helmet wrapped around its head, making it look like a blood tiger made by a armor.

    It was not that there had never been divine instrument that had fallen to the Human Realm before, but there had never been one that could rely on itself to defeat so many strong enemies.

    Looking at the situation now, it was impossible to get their hands on the divine instrument. What he was thinking of was that once the other group of people arrived, no one would be careless against the unknown divine instrument. They had a total of two teams of people, and the other team was at the other dock in Tiger Roar Country, in case Xia Xuan and the others went over to the island from there.

    "Why aren''t those guys here yet?" The man looked at the distant sky, which was devoid of any activity, and couldn''t help but to ask in his heart.

    "He''s a member of the Imperial Sect of Dragon Imperial City, one of the three great sects. Don''t you feel ashamed that a sect like this would actually fall to the point of snatching divine instrument from the weak like us?" Xia Xuan''s blood-red eyes glanced at the badge on the man''s chest, and he immediately guessed their identities.

    As the country''s power changed, the empire''s ranking on the Hundred Emperor List would frequently change. Perhaps an empire would still be ranked tenth today, but when people woke up the next day, that empire would be ranked in the tens.

    The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom occupied half of the realm of the Human Realm, and the three great clans of the Human Realm were all located in the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom. Some people once said that a single Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom could destroy the entire Human Realm.

 C77

    Chapter 77 - The Battle of the Pier (1)

    The man actually cared a lot about what Xia Xuan said. The sect they belonged to used to be one of the three great sects, and they had their own past glory, but now they had abandoned their own glory. This was a thorn in their hearts, and Xia Xuan''s words touched their bottom line.

    "You will pay for what you have said." As he spoke, the spiritual energy in the man''s entire body released and completely revealed the aura of his Mysterious Sect of the seventh grade, causing even the color of the sky and earth to change.

    "Aren''t you curious as to why the other team has not arrived yet?" Xia Xuan did not care about the man''s explosive strength of his terrifying spiritual energy, his words immediately calming the man down. Ye Ci smiled. The two docks were not far from each other. It was truly abnormal for that group of people to not arrive even after such a long time.

    "What did you do?" After regaining his senses, the man hurriedly asked.

    "I already sent people to settle it, but we can still do it." Xia Xuan shrugged his shoulders, as if he was talking about some ordinary thing, and did not care at all. However, his words caused the man to be extremely shocked. For the sake of the divine instrument, their sect had sent out all of their outstanding disciples. If they were to lose half of their disciples like that, their sect''s losses would be extremely miserable.

    At this time, on another dock in Tiger Roar Country, Wu Chen brought a group of Soldiers with him as they stood on the pier. In front of them were a pile of corpses. Of course, with Wu Chen''s strength, he wouldn''t be able to accomplish this, but a white-haired Old Man stood in front of him.

    Old Man had a head of white hair that reached his waist. Although his face was wrinkled, he looked very spirited and there was not a single fluctuation of spiritual energy on him. He just stood there like an ordinary person. Everyone had witnessed the process of Old Man killing. Even though these Soldiers had received strict training, no one was able to keep their hearts calm.

    "Xiao Chen, if it weren''t for you telling me about your close friend''s past life, I would not have intervened. After all, even though that sect has fallen, it was once one of the three great sects. It is not something that empires ranked below 20 can compare to." Old Man looked up at the sky and sighed.

    He stood behind the Old Man like that. Others might not know who the Old Man was, but he knew that this was the ancestor of the Tiger Roar Country, an expert who had once reigned supreme over the Human Realm. He had once defeated three Profound Emperor experts with his Mysterious Sect alone, and the current Old Man was already a Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank, the ultimate weapon of the Tiger Roar Country.

    He was once the genius of the three great sects, and had been said that if he was given enough time, he could definitely become the strongest amongst the three great sects. However, after the sect lost, the man who did not have much resources started to cultivate slowly, and at the age of twenty, he was still a Mysterious Sect. This time, divine instrument was his last hope, but after losing half of his disciples, his sect was already facing disbanding.

    "Transfer Spiritual Array." The man shouted. The dozens of people behind him looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and gathered the spiritual energy. Dozens of spiritual energy s transmitted over to the man. His aura surged, and instantly broke through the eighth level of Mysterious Sect, then the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect. In just a few breaths of time, he had already reached the peak of the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect, just a step away from breaking through to the Profound Emperor.

    "Won''t you stop him?" Although to Xia Xuan who possessed the Three Great God Artifacts, a Profound Emperor expert was nothing, but it was best to avoid unnecessary troubles. After all, the people around him were like tigers eyeing their prey.

    "Nothing, I haven''t fought seriously for a long time, don''t even fight with Xue Er, I will go train with the Small Flood Dragon." Xia Keke laughed. He did not have any pressure to grow, so he could not rely too much on divine instrument. Only through repeated life and death battles would he be able to quickly raise his strength.

    The pressure of the man''s spiritual energy had changed the weather. In the midst of a tired cry, the Qi of a Profound Emperor Ranker exploded out, and the rest of the people started falling down as a result of the loss of their spiritual energy.

    Chapter 78 - The Battle of the Pier (2)

    Standing in the sky, the man glared ferociously at Xia Xuan. When the rain fell beside him, it would be evaporated by the scorching spiritual energy.

    The Zhenghu blood armor had disappeared, and what appeared in Xia Xuan''s hands was a black scale lance, but the current flamethrower was slightly different from the past. On top of the flamethrower, there was a picture of a dragon coiling around it, and its aura was also a bit stronger than before. Although the flamethrower that swallowed the giant dragon had not become a real divine instrument, the injuries it received back then were mostly healed.

    Just as he called out the flamethrower, when Xia Xuan looked in the man''s direction again, he realised that the man had disappeared. A sense of danger welled up in his heart, and he immediately swung the flamethrower behind him.

    BOOM! A huge sound rang out and the man had unknowingly appeared behind Xia Xuan. When the fist full of spiritual energy collided with the flamethrower, the terrifying spiritual energy vibrations caused the rain to be blown away, and even some of the clouds in the sky were scattered by it.

    When the pike blocked the man''s fist, Xia Xuan could not help but clench his teeth. Although the flamethrower was not an ordinary Weapons, its true strength was only at Xuan King of the Second Rank. The man''s fist was blocked, his other hand immediately clenched into a fist as well, fiercely smashing towards Xia Xuan. At this time, Xia Xuan was no longer able to move, and could only watch as the fist full of spiritual energy hit his own body.

    "Bang!" The spiritual energy exploded, only to see Xia Xuan turning into a cannonball, flying out for a few hundred meters, directly destroying a warehouse. Under the cover of the ruins, Xia Xuan was completely still.

    A Profound Emperor Ranker was already considered to be at the top within the Human Realm. Other than a few Imperial Ancestors, the only Empire that could take out a Profound Emperor Ranker was probably the Empire that had a rank in the top twenty of the Hundred Emperor List.

    "Clang!" A wooden board was lifted, Xia Xuan stood up from within the rubble. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were also tattered beyond recognition.

    "He really is powerful." After saying that, Xia Chen''s grip on the flamethrower tightened as the spiritual energy burst out without reservation. Both of his legs stomped on the ground, and he directly rushed towards the man. The man was also not afraid of Xia Xuan, as he similarly turned into a ray of light and charged towards Xia Xuan. The two streaks of light clashed continuously in the sky, and the terrifying fluctuations of the spiritual energy continuously spread. Relying on the flamethrower, Xia Xuan was barely able to block the man''s attack, and the man was relying on his strong spiritual energy not to fear Xia Xuan either.

    The two figures clashed in the sky for tens of minutes, and somehow, the thundercloud had already been shaken and scattered. Under the sunlight, the two rays of light seemed to be tired of fighting.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan was already gasping for breath. His strength was only at Xuan King of the Second Rank, he simply could not endure such exhaustion. What he was thinking about right now was to finish this battle quickly, if not he would have no chance at all. Clenching his fist and sensing the remaining half of the power in his body, Xia Xuan thought of the Divine Arts. As a Deicide, he naturally had his own creation technique, and after his reincarnation, Xia Xuan had never used any sort of Divine Arts before.

    Xia Xuan''s hand danced, and all of the spiritual energy in the world began to revolve as well. Behind him, a three hundred meter tall figure slowly condensed out, and this figure was actually formed from all the spiritual energy in the world.

    "It''s that move." Wang Hao and the others exclaimed at the same time. They naturally knew what Xia Xuan was doing, if they allowed him to unleash this move, the empire would probably be destroyed.

    The six of them looked at each other, then closed their eyes at the same time. When they opened them, it was as if they had become different people. The six of them flew out, and released spiritual energy s from six different directions at the same time. The spiritual energy s transformed into six faced light wall s, trapping Xia Xuan and the man inside.

    The next move would probably be earth-shattering.

    Chapter 79 - Fighting

    Li Le stood on the ground with the little Zheng in his arms, watching the battle in the sky, and muttered: "I''m so envious of all of you, all of you possess such powerful strength."

    "Do you want power?" A voice sounded out in Li Le''s mind, the voice was extremely strange, it gave off a strange feeling, as though it was evil. Hearing the voice, Li Le couldn''t help but have a trace of evil in his heart, but the moment the evil thought appeared, it was flung away.

    Li Le looked around but did not see any suspicious people. He then looked at the little Zheng in his arms and realized that the little Zheng was staring at the battle in the sky.

    "There''s no need to think about it. I was born in your heart, so I''m you." The voice from before sounded out once again, causing the evil thoughts in Li Le''s mind to deepen. Li Le shook his head, and shook off the evil thoughts.

    "I''m just a chef, what do I need strength for? When I''m full, I eat until I''m full?" Li Le asked in his heart.

    "Look at your friends. Every single one of them has great power, and they are all stronger than you. Don''t you envy them?" The voice came out again, and under its instigation, Li Le''s mind started to waver.

    After fiercely knocking himself on the head, Li Le tried his best to keep himself awake, and then said in his heart: "I''m very happy that they''re strong, as long as I cook my own dishes, it''s fine, but keep your evil thoughts. You can''t affect me."

    "Just you wait. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will want power." The sinister voice sounded once again, but this time it was getting softer and softer, as if the evil voice was gradually fading away.

    In the sky, the figure behind Xia Xuan had become more and more solid. The man knew that Xia Xuan was using his last move, but the sudden appearance of Wang Hao and the other four made him flustered, and by the time he could react, it was already too late to interrupt Xia Xuan, but with Wang Hao and the other six creating the light wall, he had no time to break through the light wall.

    "Let''s go all out." The man gritted his teeth, the spiritual energy of the Profound Emperor experts burst out unreservedly, all the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy were sucked over, and after a while they congealed into a giant golden elephant, with the golden elephant standing in the sky. Although it was not as solid as the figure behind Xia Xuan, it had a certain intelligence, as though this was not a golden elephant, but a true mammoth.

    "Ang!" The golden elephant roared towards the sky and charged straight at Xia Xuan. Every time its elephant feet stepped on the air, they would create a crack in the air and the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy would all feel fear and flee.

    Xia Xuan waved at the golden elephant from afar, and the gigantic shadow behind him also extended out a gigantic palm, aiming straight at the golden elephant. As the gigantic shadow was simply too huge, the movement of the gigantic palm was extremely slow, but it was precisely this type of slowness that gave people a sense of pressure, as if the sky was collapsing, and forcefully pressed down on the golden elephant.

    Ang! The golden elephant roared again, and ferociously stomped the sky with its elephant foot. It did not fear the gigantic palm at all, and actually rammed head on into it, as though it was ready to fight to its death. ))))

    "Bang!" The golden elephant crashed into the giant hand and immediately exploded, while the golden elephant became extremely illusionary. Its color had already become extremely dim and it was possible for it to disappear at any time. Right at this moment, a giant hand grabbed at it. Before the giant elephant could react, it was grabbed by the giant hand and then disappeared with a bang.

    After the giant elephant was dispersed, the man was also affected and a mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. If not for Xia Xuan, he would not have ended up like this, as long as he could obtain the divine instrument s, he would definitely revive the sect, and at that time, he would be a strong warrior at the peak of Human Realm, respected by tens of thousands of people. However, the person in front of him had become a stumbling block on his path to growth, and this stumbling block could potentially become the end of his path.

    The man bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood essence wriggled in the air and the air around it began to become distorted. As he spat out the blood essence, the man''s face became pale, without a trace of blood. This mouthful of blood essence not only contained all of his remaining spiritual energy s, but also his innate strength. It could be said that this mouthful of blood essence was all his strength, and without this mouthful of blood essence, he would not even be able to compare to an ordinary person.

    Seeing that the man was so desperate, Xia Xuan could not help but crease his eyebrows. After hesitating for a while, he finally raised both of his hands, forming the shape of a bow, and like Xia Xuan, the gigantic shadow behind him also raised both of his hands.

    This was an invisible bow that Deicide had comprehended so far. It was not a Weapons, and it did not have any substance, so even Deicide did not understand it too much, but back then, when Deicide and Celestial King fought, the last strike he had used was using an invisible bow.

    Xia Xuan and the giant shadow pulled the bow at the same time, as though they were pulling the bow to the shape of a full moon. When the invisible bow was pulled, the sky and earth twisted, and the six light wall s trembled nonstop.

    At the same time, the blood essence in the man''s hand also exploded as golden elephant condensed one after another. Every single golden elephant roared at the sky and the entire elephant herd''s roar was gathered together and was no weaker than a giant shadow.

    The invisible arrow materialized on the bow, and although it did not make the slightest sound, its power was not weaker than the elephants.

    "Xiu." Xia Xuan''s finger gently loosened, although he did not have a bow and arrow, after his finger loosened, the sound of an arrow shooting out could be heard, and the gigantic shadow behind him was actually shattered by the recoil of the arrow, while Xia Xuan dropped to the ground due to exhaustion.

    "Ang!" The golden elephant bellowed and rushed towards the invisible arrow with earth-shattering footsteps.

    The first golden elephant crashed into the invisible arrow, but it did not stop the arrow at all. Instead, it directly exploded. One golden elephant might not be very powerful, but when the first golden elephant exploded, the second and the third followed suit.

    Although the strength of each Giant Elephant was not that strong, when the huge elephants continuously rammed against the invisible arrows, even the strong as invisible arrows were stopped. The golden elephant continuously condensed and came out from the man''s side, and then without any fear of death, it rushed towards the invisible arrow, the collision of the two forces was extremely terrifying.

    At this time, Xia Xuan was already being held by the blood tiger, and took the chance to slip through the gap created by the light wall''s trembling to stand on the ground and watch the scene of countless golden elephant colliding with the invisible arrows.

    "Bang!" The formless arrow exploded, and the terrifying spiritual energy shot up into the sky. The spiritual energy that charged out from some of the cracks in the light wall directly destroyed countless of buildings, and no matter what, the terrifying power would instantly destroy everything. It was hard to imagine whether or not this kind of power could still exist in the Empire without the protection of those six light wall s.

    After a long while, the spiritual energy dispersed, the man was still standing in the air, the golden elephant had completely disappeared, the invisible arrow had disappeared, the man whose clothes were already tattered panted heavily, with countless wounds on his body, and fresh blood flowing out, dyeing him in blood.

    After the six light wall s were put away, the man landed on the ground as well. Relying on the strength of his body which was at the seventh level of Mysterious Sect, he created a huge crater on the ground.

    Wang Hao and the rest of the seven followed behind the blood tiger as they slowly walked out of the pier.

    The surrounding people looked at each other, but this time, no one dared to make a move. Without mentioning Xia Xuan''s terrifying strength, even Wang Hao''s group of six were not normal people to deal with, as these people were definitely not good people.

    Chapter 80 - Breakthrough (1)

    On top of a tall mountain in Tiger Roar Country, there was a small bamboo courtyard built inside the middle of the mountain. Xia Xuan did not like palace battles, thus, he decided to build a small courtyard for Xia Xuan.

    Wang Hao was chopping firewood while the morning sky was still fresh and bright. Wu Zhi and Su Bing had been sparring with each other since early in the morning and they had already started a fire early in the morning, and the fragrance of the dishes had already drifted out. Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue took out the dishes one after another, but from the oil stains on the corner of their mouths, it was obvious that the two of them must have eaten it secretly while carrying the dishes.

    This scene was very peaceful. In a small courtyard within the bamboo forest, people were all doing things they liked to do.

    "Creaak." A door opened, and Xia Xuan opened it to look at the bamboo house. The sound of the door opening caught everyone''s attention. The current Xia Xuan''s face was still a little pale, but when he saw the peaceful scene in the courtyard, he could not help but smile, this kind of peaceful scene was something he had not experienced for an unknown amount of time.

    Seeing Xia Xuan wake up, everyone put down whatever they were doing and surrounded Xia Xuan one by one. Their faces were all hung up with smiles as words of greetings came out of their mouths.

    With Wang Hao''s support, Xia Xuan sat on a stone block in the middle of the courtyard. The sunlight shined on his face, causing him to be in a good mood, and he said with emotion: "We used to be like this often in our previous life.

    "Since that''s the case, why don''t you stay with me for a few more days?" A loud laughter rang out, only to see Wu Chen and a Old Man slowly walking into the small courtyard, but from their position, Wu Chen looked at the Old Man with great respect.

    "Many thanks to senior for helping out in this Treasure Seizing Competition." After the Old Man sat steadily, Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said.

    That pair of people who came from one of the old three sects are all elites of the sect. The leader of the group I killed was a fool, and the leader of your group, named Hoodlum, is a former genius. The Old Man snorted and said.

    After chatting with Xia Xuan for the whole morning, Old Man led the reluctant San Chen away. Looking at his helpless expression, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but chuckle to himself. He knew that Xia Xuan had come to the Tiger Roar Country all day long to drink and play with him, and wished that he could forget about all the national affairs. But''s discipline was really too strict.

    The group of eight people and one beast sat around the stone table, smelling the fragrance emitted by Li Le''s delicious food. Although it was suitable for eating light food in the morning, when everyone smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, their Saliva s flowed out, and all the bullshit about eating light food in the morning were thrown to the back of their minds.

    After breakfast, Xia Xuan stood on the mountain peak, his gaze looking far away, in the direction of the Tiger''s Roar Wharf. Although he had used all of his strength in the battle with Hoodlum, he still had not stopped sensing his surroundings, and at that time, he clearly felt a familiar aura. It was neither the Qi of a human nor the Qi of a devil, it was a person, a god who was at odds with him ˇŞ ˇŞ evil god.

    "evil god, what are you trying to do?" Xia Xuan''s gaze towards the distance could not help but become extremely vicious. He was not alone now, his five companions had reincarnated for him, if anything were to happen to them, the anger of the Deicide would definitely cause the entire The Divine Realm to turn upside down.

    Putting the matters of the evil god aside, Xia Xuan sat cross-legged on a huge rock and took a deep breath, after which the binocular closed its doors. After a short while, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy slowly gathered towards him. After his battle with Hoodlum, Xia Xuan''s cultivation had increased a little, and while he was idle, he prepared to charge into the Third-rank Xuan King. After all, his own strength was too weak, so even if he had more divine instrument s, it would still be useless.

    In the end, the spiritual energy passed through the swirl and rushed into Xia Xuan''s Hundred Meetings Acupoint, and were absorbed by Xia Xuan. As the spiritual energy rushed in, Xia Xuan''s aura continuously became stronger.

    Chapter 81 - Breakthrough (2)

    Time passed quickly, and unknowingly, three days had already passed. Wang Hao and the others did not disturb him, and waited quietly in the small courtyard.

    In these three days, Xia Xuan''s aura had already reached the peak of the Xuan King of the Second Rank, but no matter how hard Xia Xuan tried to absorb the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, he was unable to break that barrier.

    The two artifact spirits looked at Xia Xuan''s back, their faces filled with anxiety. They naturally knew why Xia Xuan was unable to break through the barrier of Third-rank Xuan King.

    Because Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, his soul was not complete, and his innate talent and life spirit roots were also incomplete. Xia Xuan would be able to achieve twice the results in his cultivation, especially when breaking through his bottleneck.

    "Can''t we give the fragment to Master in advance?" Xue Er looked at Xia Xuan who was absorbing the spiritual energy like a bottomless pit, and spoke with a hint of anxiety.

    "You can''t. You can only wait for Master to break through on his own. If you advance, you will interrupt Master''s cultivation. This is too dangerous." The blood tiger shook its head, and its voice was serious. One could see a hint of anxiety in its eyes, a breakthrough in one''s cultivation was extremely important, if it failed during a breakthrough, at least it would cause one''s cultivation to regress, and at most, it would break down into a meridian, and from then on, they would become a cripple.

    After the thundercloud disappeared, a powerful aura exploded out, the aura contained a killing intent, this killing intent was not aimed at a single person, but at all living things in the world, a type of killing intent that was born to exist, the Deicide was about to wake up.

    In the courtyard, everyone immediately jumped up from their bamboo chairs, with their eyes looking at the top of the mountain in surprise. This meant that Xia Xuan had successfully broke through to the Third-rank Xuan King, it truly was worrisome.

    Not long after, Wu Chen brought a few bottles of good wine to the small courtyard and had a good drink with Xia Xuan. Everyone was drunk, even Xia Xuan''s eyes were blurred, not having the slightest bit of Deicide''s dignity.

    Ou Chen placed her hand on Xia Xuan''s shoulder and said drunkenly: "Brat, you haven''t come here for so many years, if you suddenly come here, it might not be for the divine instrument alone."

    "Brother Wu Chen who knows me well." Xia Xuan laughed sinisterly, the two of them did not seem to be drunk at all, the communication seemed to be extremely crafty.

    Under the light of the morning sun, Xia Xuan and the others slept in the open air in the courtyard. When they woke up in the morning, they immediately felt sore all over their bodies.

    "Wake up, your enemies are coming." An elderly voice suddenly sounded.

    Rubbing his eyes, Xia Xuan looked towards the source of the sound and saw Min Hong sitting on a bamboo chair not far away from him, looking at the mess with a smile.

    Upon seeing Min Hong, Xia Xuan immediately crawled up from the ground, and immediately woke up the others, then said to Min Hong: "Senior Min Hong, why are you here?"

    "I can feel that the Saint Elephant Sect''s Sect Leader is here." Old Man said lazily, as if he was talking about some very ordinary thing. However, when Xia Xuan heard these words, it was like he was struck by lightning.

    In the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom''s Dragon Imperial City Sect, there was a sect that was once one of the three great sects, and a sect that was once one of the three great sects that attempted to provoke the Saint Elephant Sect. In the end, the Saint Elephant Sect sent twelve experts, and the sect that was stepped on by the Saint Elephant Sect''s golden elephant was immediately flattened.

    Three years ago, the sect masters and ancestors of the three major sects suddenly went missing, losing their sect masters and ancestors in a place like Dragon Imperial City where the strong preyed on the weak. The three major sects quickly declined, and even though the position of the sect master of the Saint Elephant Sect, with Profound Emperor of the third rank, had declined considerably, their strength was still absolutely terrifying.

    "Where is Young?" Xia Xuan calmed down for a while and then asked Min Hong.

    "He should be at Tiger''s Roar Wharf in about an hour." Min Hong said indifferently. No matter how strong the Saint Elephant Sect was, he would not dare to do anything to him. As long as Xia Xuan appeared, not only would the Tiger Roar Country not interfere, he could even watch a good show.

    Hearing Min Hong admitting that he was right, Xia Xuan immediately turned and rushed to the Tiger''s Roar Wharf, facing Yang Dong, he did not dare be careless, a third stage Profound Emperor was something he had to take out at least two divine instrument in order to barely deal with, if such a Ranker did not welcome him, if he got angry, he would not be able to take the responsibility.

    Seeing the figure that was quickly leaving, Min Hong, who was sitting on the bamboo chair, couldn''t help but let out a loud laugh. He then pulled up the still unconscious Wu Chen and said: "Let''s go, we can''t let Lord God of Death carry it alone. With that, Min Hong''s figure flashed and disappeared.

    At this time, there was a person standing on the Tiger''s Roar Wharf. Xia Xuan had his hands behind his back, and was looking at the horizon. Normally, no one from the Tiger''s Roar Wharf s would come. After all, the location of the Tiger''s Roar Wharf s was not suitable for ocean transportation.

    Who knew how long Xia Xuan stood there, when a terrifying aura suddenly spread out from the horizon, and from the horizon, a small black dot flew towards Howling Pier, the black figure''s speed was extremely fast, although it was far from Tiger''s Roar Wharf, but in a few breaths'' time, the black figure arrived in front of Xia Xuan.

    It was a middle-aged man around forty years old. The man''s muscles bulged and there was a long scar on his face. He looked very ferocious. This is the current sect master of the Saint Elephant Sect, Yang Zhi.

    Everyone in the city could feel the pressure and went out to watch. Some of the practitioners even flew into the air, and when they saw the furious Yang Zhi and Xia Xuan, they immediately understood what was going on and looked towards Xia Xuan with eyes filled with pity. At the same time, they were curious as to how Xia Xuan would deal with Yang Zhi.

    "The addict''s Fate Spirit Lamp has been extinguished." He looked down at Xia Xuan, his eyes filled with killing intent.

    Xia Xuan didn''t know how to reply, so he didn''t say anything.

    "Where''s Hoodlum?" Yang Zhi saw that Xia Xuan did not reply, and asked again.

    This time Xia Xuan was no longer silent, if he did not speak now, he would be slapped to death by Yang Zhi. He immediately replied respectfully: "Little brother Hoodlum is currently recuperating in Imperial Palace, I will get someone to send him here later."

    "Humph!" Yang Zhi coldly snorted, and then said: "Don''t you want to give an explanation for the lives of nearly a hundred disciples?" As he spoke, he extended his aura, causing countless seawater to fly up a few meters in the air due to his aura.

    Chapter 83 - Vengeance (2)

    "I wonder if I can become the Saint Elephant Sect''s disciple in their place?" Xia Xuan was not afraid at all, he extended his hand out with a smile on his face, but the words he said caused him to let out a cold laugh. Back then, the life lamps of the idiots and other disciples were extinguished in an instant. He did not believe that Xia Xuan was the only one who did all these, and when he thought about it, he felt that there was only one person in Tiger Roar Country who had such capabilities.

    "Min Hong, you old thing, get out here right now." Yang Zhi no longer paid attention to Xia Xuan, and bellowed at Tiger Roar City, his voice being wrapped by the spiritual energy and spreading through the entire city.

    Right after he said that, Min Hong carried Min Hong and appeared on the pier. Behind him was a bamboo chair, and there was a cup of hot tea in his hand, that seemed to wake up Wu Chen. Min Hong then leisurely drank his tea on the bamboo chair.

    Upon seeing Yang Zhi, a surprised look appeared on Wu Chen''s face, but a voice rang out, "You don''t have to worry about that. Go and bring Hoodlum here."

    Even though she was worried, due to the reverence towards Min Hong, Wu Chen didn''t say anything. With a flash, he disappeared.

    "You ˇ­" Seeing Min Hong who was drinking tea leisurely, Yang Zhi immediately became angry, but since he was afraid of Min Hong''s strength, he did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head and glared at Xia Xuan, as if he was about to vent his anger on him.

    Regarding this, Xia Xuan also had a face of helplessness, it was fine if Min Hong did not help, but he actually gave him trouble, the main point was that he was actually tasting tea to enjoy, how could he not be angry.

    "Kid, I believe you have the ability to deal with this guy." Min Hong''s voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan really had the urge to curse.

    "What qualifications do you have to replace all of my disciples?" Yang Zhi said angrily.

    Behind him, there was a faintly discernible figure. The person standing far away could not clearly see what that figure was, but the person standing not far from Xia Xuan could clearly see that it was the soul of the Deicide!

    Yang Zhi was shocked, even though the Deicide''s Soul in front of him was only a fragment, there was an intrinsic difference between god and man, the soul gave off a kind of pressure to the person in power, to the person in power. In his eyes, the current Xia Xuan was no longer a normal brat, but someone who had the terrifying potential to destroy Human Realm.

    "I wonder if I have the potential to do so now?" Xia Xuan squinted his eyes and laughed.

    "I am angry. There are so many disciples that can''t just let it go like this." After Yang stretched calmed down, he said, "Take this from me." When Yang Zhi said this, the surrounding people immediately exclaimed in surprise. Yang Zhi was not someone who relied on my secret technique to temporarily break through to the Profound Emperor, but rather, was a third stage Profound Emperor that he had bought.

    "Alright." Xia Xuan''s reply caused everyone to be even more shocked.

    Seeing Xia Xuan being so straightforward, Yang Zhi also admired it quite a bit in his heart. He slowly raised his hand, and countless spiritual energy began to gather in his palm. One could vaguely see that the space around his palm had begun to distort.

    The spiritual energy that was in Yang Yang''s hand was directly thrown out, the seemingly floating spiritual energy was instantly in front of Xia Xuan. The spiritual energy exploded, and a figure immediately flew out, drawing a long mark on the ground.

    However, Xia Xuan was currently dressed in a Zhenghu blood armor attire. Although he had taken the blow head on, he had not suffered any injuries.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had blocked his attack, he raised his hand and coldly snorted, and did not say anymore.

    Not long after, Wu Chen brought Hoodlum to Tiger''s Roar Wharf. When Yang Zhi found out that Hoodlum''s cultivation was crippled, he could not help but glare at Xia Xuan, but in the end, he suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

    Chapter 84 - Myriad Spirit Realm (1)

    Countless pairs of eyes looked at the distant Yang Zhi, and then turned to look at Xia Xuan. Although Min Hong did not dare to do anything, to be able to receive one of his attacks so easily showed how powerful Xia Xuan was.

    The Imperial Palace of the Howling Wind Nation was located in Chenfeng City, and as the richest Seaside Empire, the emperor of the Tiger Roar Country was even more powerful than the Snow Wind Empire. Standing in the middle of the buildings of the Imperial Palace, even Xia Xuan was shocked, he thought that the Tiger Roar Country was truly rich.

    Wang Hao and the rest followed behind Xia Xuan, looking around in shock.

    "What are we doing here?" Wang Hao asked Xia Xuan who was walking in front.

    "There is a competition between the Hundred Kingdoms called the Hundred Heroes Competition. All seven clans of the three great sects will choose the most outstanding contestants in the competition. Let''s go and have a look." Xia Xuan said with a smile.

    "What!" The Hundred Heroes Competition was something that everyone in the Human Realm knew of. The Human Realm was not the strongest, and the people who truly ruled over the Human Realm were the three great sects and seven great clans. These three great clans only had a few ways to recruit disciples from other clans, so the Hundred Herbs Competition was a rare opportunity.

    Although the Hundred Heroes Competition was a rare opportunity, the Participant in the competition were all elites from various countries. Although their strengths were not weak, but compared to those who had a large amount of resources, they could not be compared. The Hundred Hero Competition was an opportunity, but at the same time, it was also a challenge. The empires that the people who died in the competition could not be held accountable. When he saw that group of people, he could not help but tightly frown his brow. He then looked at Xia Xuan and the rest, and wanted to say something, but when his mouth opened, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do.

    "Uncle, these guys are the ones that squeezed our spot, right?" A yellow-robed man in the crowd said. The man was slightly older than Xia Xuan, and was more handsome. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked at Xia Xuan with a gaze filled with hatred.

    Every single Empire had a fixed number of placings, and only had seven, so naturally, such precious placings should have belonged to him a long time ago. However, these placings were all given to Xia Xuan by Ou Chen, and the people in front of him should be the people who they squeezed out of the placings.

    "Don''t be rude, these people are our Empire''s esteemed guests." Hearing the man''s words, the brow frowned and spoke in a stern voice.

    "If you are a capable person, then you should naturally treat me with respect. If you are a useless person, then where did you get the qualifications to make me respect you?" The man snorted, and with a swoosh, he opened the fan in his hand. His gaze was not looking at Xia Xuan, but instead he was fanning himself, looking very arrogant.

    The man had heard that there was a presence of a Profound Emperor Ranker in this Treasure Seizing Competition, but the divine instrument was still taken away by Xia Xuan. He also knew that Min Hong had gone to help him, and he believed that the reason Xia Xuan was able to snatch the divine instrument was all thanks to Min Hong''s help.

    Xia Xuan patted his shoulder, signalling for him to be quiet, and then went up and said to the man: "Does this mean that you want to experience my strength?"

    "That''s right. If you''re afraid, you can completely refuse the challenge. However, you must obediently hand over this quota. Otherwise, my Tiger Roar Country will not be able to afford to lose face." As he spoke, the man''s nose was about to rise into the sky.

    The Myriad Spirit Realm was the venue for the Hundred Heroes Competition. It was a space that was refined. Only after hundreds or thousands of people entered the Myriad Spirit Realm could the ones that survived be selected by the three great sects and the seven great clans. Not only were the people who died in the Myriad Spirit Realm not recompense, they would instead be looked down upon by other countries. Thus, every empire would send out their strongest younger generation.

    Xia Xuan did not speak, he did not need to speak anymore, and since the man wanted to experience his power, he would show it to him. Xia Xuan slowly raised his leg, and with a step forward, the spiritual energy erupted from his leg, causing the ground to directly explode. All the dust on the ground was blown away, and this step immediately gave the man a show of strength.

    The man and the people behind him were all shocked by Xia Xuan''s sudden move. One by one, their auras erupted, not weaker than Xia Xuan''s, especially the man with the fan. His aura had actually reached the level of Profound King of the Fifth Rank.

    Chapter 85 - Myriad Spirit Realm (2)

    When the man discovered that Xia Xuan was only a Third-rank Xuan King cultivator, he was even more certain that Xia Xuan was a person who was pretending to be strong.

    "Merely ˇ­" The man wanted to say something, but Xia Xuan was already in front of him. His shoulder fiercely knocked the man''s shoulder and directly sent him flying, then his figure blurred and everyone was sent flying in an instant. They were all struck by Xia Xuan on the shoulder.

    The man crawled up from the ground, staring at Xia Xuan''s back with malicious eyes, Feng Xin was extremely unsatisfied, his hands formed a claw shape, the spiritual energy at his fingertips turned into a sharp figure, and rushed towards Xia Xuan in a flash.

    Just as the man''s hand was about to grab Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan suddenly disappeared, and what the man grabbed towards him was only an afterimage. After grabbing onto nothing, the man immediately looked around vigilantly. He did not see Xia Xuan''s actions before, was this guy really just Third-rank Xuan King?

    When the man was unable to find Xia Xuan''s position, Xia Xuan suddenly appeared behind him, and looked at him with a cold gaze, causing the man to feel a chill on his back. Before he could even react, Xia Xuan punched him in the back, and with a push of his palm, the man fell to the ground.

    "Bang!" The man fell down heavily, hearing that loud sound, Wang Hao and the rest could not help but sizzle their teeth, this fall would cause him to lose many of his teeth, this man was truly embarrassed.

    No longer paying attention to the man, Xia Xuan and the rest immediately started walking towards the distance, looking very confident and at ease.

    "Boss, how are you doing?" The few people who came with the man hurriedly went forward to help him up. At this moment, the man was extremely comical. His face was covered in dust, and his nose had collapsed. Even his teeth had fallen to the ground. He truly wanted to cry, but had no tears to shed.

    Not long after, Xia Xuan and the others arrived at a tall building. This building did not have any windows, it was only a small door, as if it was a carefully crafted warehouse.

    The spiritual energy gathered in his fingers, and as his finger moved, it drew a strange pattern on the door.

    "Creak." Just as he retracted his hand, a creaking sound could be heard as the small door slowly opened. Entering the house, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but exclaim once again about the wealth of the Tiger Roar Country. The floor of the house was made entirely out of jade, there wasn''t a room in the house, there were only dozens of pure gold pillars and a light array in the middle of the house.

    It was hidden in the void, and only a special kind of teleportation circle could reach there. However, this teleportation circle was not something that an ordinary person could create, and the Tiger Roar Country had to spend a huge sum of money to find a Profound Master Ranker from the Dragon Imperial City to create this teleportation circle.

    There were many countries in the Hundred Kingdoms that did not have this kind of teleportation circle, so they could only borrow the teleportation circle of other empires, but this would inevitably cause others to look down on them. Hence, this teleportation circle became a symbol of national power, the Tiger Roar Country was proud of this teleportation circle.

    "Be careful. There aren''t any rules in the Myriad Spirit Realm, so it''s best to avoid unnecessary trouble." She glanced at the teleportation circle, then looked at Xia Xuan and the others, and warned them.

    "Don''t worry." Xia Xuan replied and then followed Wang Hao and the rest into the teleportation circle, while Li Le stood next to her. He was not a reincarnation of the God, so he was not suitable to enter the Myriad Spirit Realm.

    The teleportation circle flashed with light, and Xia Xuan and the rest could see a bright light shining before them, causing them to teleport away. This was a wilderness. At this moment, the wilderness was completely devoid of people. However, this did not mean that there was no one looking at them like they were their prey. People who had just arrived at the Myriad Spirit Realm were the easiest to kill.

    The Hundred Heroes Competition was a survival competition with a thousand people.

 C86

    Chapter 86 - Hunters in game (1)

    Looking at his surroundings, Xia Xuan immediately felt that something was wrong. This wilderness was too quiet, although this was the Myriad Spirit Realm, it did not mean that there were no spirit beast here. On the contrary, the spiritual energy in the Myriad Spirit Realm were extremely dense, and the spirit beast that lived in them were even stronger than those in the outside world.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Wang Hao and the rest immediately became cautious. They all stood back to back, looking around, ready to respond to any emergency situations.

    Suddenly, a rumbling sound came out, a black line flew towards Xia Xuan and the others from afar, bringing a cloud of dust with it, and upon closer inspection, it was actually a group of Fire Tail Cows which had lost control.

    A normal Fire Tail Cow would normally have the strength of a fifth stage Spirit Master, but this Fire Tail Cow at the Myriad Spirit Realm was a ninth stage Spirit Master. Furthermore, the strength of its spirit beast was several times stronger than a Homo sapiens at the same level, thus the strength of this Fire Tail Cow could be compared to a half-step Mystical King. If this black mass of Fire Tail Cows were to be trampled on, even a Mystical King Ranker would not be able to stand it.

    "Fly." When Xia Xuan saw the group of Fire-tailed Cows, he immediately let out a loud roar. He activated his spiritual energy and was about to fly up into the sky, but when his feet left the ground, he realized that he couldn''t fly at all. He did not expect that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Myriad Spirit Realm would reach such an extent that they could not even fly.

    Wang Hao carried Xia Xuan and immediately ran into the distance.

    On a high mountain far away from the wilderness, three black shadows watched the chase in the wilderness. They couldn''t help but laugh out loud. In the Hundred Heroes Competition, there were some weaker players that would not fight the other contestants head on. They would hide away, occasionally causing some trouble for the contestants.

    Xia Xuan, who was being carried on Wang Hao''s back, felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. To be embarrassed in such a manner after just entering the Myriad Spirit Realm, how could anyone not be angry?

    "Put me down." Xia Xuan said as he looked around angrily. It was not for no reason that this kind of Fire Tail Cow would suddenly go berserk, judging from their actions, it was obvious that someone was doing this on purpose. Someone who dared to scheme against him, Deicide, would definitely pay a heavy price.

    Just as he jumped off Wang Hao''s body, Xia Xuan did something astonishing. Not only did he not run away, he instead rushed towards the herd of cows.

    "What are you doing? Do you want to die?" Seeing Xia Xuan''s action, which was no different from committing suicide, Wu Zhi immediately shouted.

    "All of you, quickly run. I have my own plans." Xia replied, and rushed back to the herd without looking back.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Wang Hao and the rest did not say anymore, turned and ran off into the distance. Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life, everyone trusted Xia Xuan from the bottom of their hearts. Since he said that he had his own plans, then he definitely had a way to solve them.

    Xia Xuan quickly reduced the distance between him and the herd of cows. In the eyes of ordinary people, the herd of cows was unstoppable, but in Xia Xuan''s eyes, it was different. He knew that if the herd of fiery-tailed cows went berserk, there would definitely be a leader, and as long as he controlled the leader, he could control the entire herd.

    Countless spiritual energy wrapped around Xia Xuan''s hands. Seeing that the strongest Fire Tail Cow in front of the herd was about to collide with it, Xia Xuan shifted his body and dodged it. But Xia Xuan did not just dodge, at the same time, he also extended one of his hands, and the Fire Tail Bull''s horn rushed from his side and smashed into Xia Xuan''s palm.

    If it was any other person doing this, both their hands would have been torn apart. However, Xia Xuan had used spiritual energy to wrap his hands with the other, even though his arms had almost been dislocated.

    Xia Xuan was still standing there one second ago. In the next second, he had already landed on the back of the Fire Tail Cow and tightly grabbed onto the cow''s horn with his hands.

    "Moo." The Fiery Tail Cow was naturally unwilling to be mounted on someone''s back. It let out a moo and increased its speed, attempting to shake Xia Xuan off its back.

    It had to be said that although the strength of an adult Fire Tail Cow was only at the level of a half-step Mystical King, due to Xia Xuan''s barbaric method of painfully pulling one of his hands, he was really unable to hold onto the Fire Tail Cow even though it was struggling desperately.

    With one hand, he suddenly grabbed the bull''s horn tightly. The other hand, spiritual energy gathered together and smashed the Fire Tail Cow''s head, causing its speed to slow down slowly. Finally, it stopped.

    The entire herd of Flametail Cows stopped at the same time as the Flametail Ox. One by one, bellow after bellow sounded throughout the wilderness.

 C87

    Xia Xuan sat on the cow''s back and looked outside the wilderness, searching for the fellows that had caused him trouble.

    "Moo." The Fire Tail Cow under Xia Xuan''s body gradually recovered its clarity, and with a furious bellow, it prepared to explode once again.

    Seeing that the Fire Tail Cow was still not calm enough, Xia Xuan immediately released her Third-rank Xuan King aura. Under the pressure of the aura, the Fire Tail Cow immediately shrank back in fear, its large eyes filled with grievance.

    "Xia Xuan, you were just too cool." Seeing that the cattle had calmed down, Wang Hao and the others all ran over to surround Xia Xuan, their eyes filled with admiration. In terms of cultivation level, Xia Xuan was not the highest, but in terms of courage, Xia Xuan would definitely not let them go.

    "We can''t just let this go like this." Xia Xuan was not proud of stopping the herd. He, Deicide, never took the initiative to provoke others, but if others provoked him first, especially if they made him embarrassed in front of his comrades, he, Deicide, would definitely not let this matter rest.

    "There are three people at the peak of the northwest mountain." Deicide''s voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind, causing him to be shocked. When he tried to break through to the Third-rank Xuan King, he had already awakened Deicide''s soul, but Deicide had kept his silence and did not speak at all. Xia Xuan only thought that Deicide wanted to continue and did not disturb him.

    Xia Xuan naturally knew why the Deicide would speak out. As the reincarnation of the Deicide, he had been plotted against, and it was so embarrassing that even the soul of the Deicide could not bear to watch anymore. It was likely that the soul of the Deicide was trying to take revenge.

    Looking towards the southwest, the spiritual energy wrapped around the binocular. Sure enough, they saw that on top of a mountain in the distance, there were three human figures who seemed to have noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze, and ran towards the other side of the mountain at the same time.

    "There''s snow. This Flaming Tail Bull is the leader. You use it to lead the herd to the other side of the mountain." Xia Xuan pointed to the mountain in the southwest and said to Mo Youxue.

    "Everyone else, come with me. There''s something wrong with this herd of cattle. We can''t just let it go like this." With that said, Xia Xuan led the rest of them directly towards the southwest.

    At this moment, there were two men and one woman sitting beside a stream at the bottom of the mountain. Cold sweat covered their heads. One of them, a skinny man who looked like a monkey, kept looking around, afraid that someone would catch up to him.

    Another man among the three ferociously washed his face with a stream beside the river. He then gritted his teeth and said, "What Hundred Heroes'' Competition? It''s actually so scary."

    The woman was sitting on a rock, curled up, her trembling body expressing the fear in her heart. In the past few days alone, they had met no less than three groups of people. Fortunately, they had investigated the situation of the Hundred Heroes Competition in advance, and only after being vigilant did they manage to avoid those dangers.

    "They won''t come after us, will they?" The skinny man who looked like a monkey asked.

    "Impossible, we are so far away, they won''t be able to notice us." The other man said resolutely, as if he was sure that if he was slower than Xia Xuan and the rest, they would have caught up to him.

    "Awoo ˇŞ" Right at this moment, a wolf''s howl came from an unknown place, startling the three of them. After realizing that it was only a wolf howling, he felt relieved. After all, a wolf was not a Participant.

    As soon as the three of them calmed down, wolf howls sounded one after another. Each of the howls had a different direction. It was as if they were surrounded by three of them. The three of them stood back to back in fear and looked around in vigilance.

    "So my prey is here." A playful voice came out, only to see that not far from them, Xia Xuan was looking at them as if he was looking at his prey.

 C88

    Chapter 88 - Mantis (1)

    Xia Xuan''s sudden appearance scared the three of them to the point that their souls almost left their bodies. They had clearly seen Xia Xuan''s taming ability and the terrifying strength of his Third-rank Xuan King, in this Myriad Spirit Realm where there were no rules, as long as you had enough strength, no matter what you did, no one would care about you. Similarly, if you were too weak, no matter how they treated you, you would not be able to resist.

    "I remember that this type of person in the Hundred Heroes Competition is called a hunter, right?" Wang Hao''s voice suddenly came out, startling the three of them yet again. When he turned his head to look, he realized that Wang Hao and the others had already surrounded the three of them. The six people in the direction of the flowing light all had strength that was not weaker than the Mystical King.

    "What do you want?" At the same time, two spiritual energy condensed in his hands, making him look like a half step Mystical King. To be able to enter the Hundred Herbs Competition, it could only mean that they were from an empire that was ranked very low.

    "We should be the ones talking about this, why are you looking for trouble with us?" Xia Xuan said in a slightly angry tone. He still remembered the look on his face when he fell to the ground.

    "What rubbish are you talking about, just cripple him first." Wang Hao did not wait for the three to reply before snorting angrily, the aura of a seventh grade Mystical King exploded out, scaring the three people to the point that their legs turned soft. After absorbing the Angry Flame God''s Heart, Wang Hao''s cultivation speed greatly increased, and he had now reached the level of a seventh stage Mystical King.

    "My lords, please spare us, we are the Participant from the Green Bamboo Empire, we became hunters because we were too weak." The skinny man who was as thin as a monkey immediately knelt down in fear of Wang Hao, and started kowtowing to Xia Xuan and the others. The other two people couldn''t help but grit their teeth and clench their fists as they saw the man acting like this.

    In their own empire, the three of them were favored by the heavens and possessed extremely high talents. However, to come here and kowtow and beg for mercy in order to survive, any genius would not be able to take this lying down.

    Seeing the man continuously kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, the anger in Xia Xuan''s heart could not help but extinguish by more than half. Sighing helplessly, he said: "Stand up."

    The petite man naturally spoke out the words of Xia Xuan when he had lost his anger, his face immediately revealed a look of joy, and crawled up from the ground, and spoke to Xia Xuan: "Thank you, Sir, for not killing me."

    "What''s your name?" Xia Xuan asked the three of them.

    Towards Xia Xuan, the petite man dared not slight him at all, and immediately said respectfully: "My name is Sickle Kick, these two are Ye Liu and Ye Baiying."

    "Do you know that you are in trouble?" Xia Xuan''s following words immediately made the three of them feel at ease, in the Myriad Spirit Stage, there was no trouble at all, either you kill me or I kill you, the trouble was just a euphemism.

    "Please spare my life, milord." Hearing what Xia Xuan said, the skinny man called Sickle Kick thought that Xia Xuan was just about to kill him, and immediately wanted to kneel down. But just at this moment, a cold light swept past his face, scaring him so much that his legs went limp, he couldn''t even kneel down anymore.

    "Ding!" A sound came out, only to see Xia Xuan''s throwing flying dagger being bounced back in mid air, as if something had blocked the flying dagger.

    "Not bad perception." A pair of figures slowly emerged from the spot where the throwing daggers were bounced off. The man and woman were dressed in black, the woman in white, and their faces were covered in a thick layer of white powder. They gave off a feeling of being black and white.

    Upon seeing these two, the sickle dragon immediately cried out in alarm, "Black and White Ghost!"

    The Monarch called himself the King of Hell, and every person in the Empire would pretend to be a ghost from the Underworld. This black and white ghost was one of them, and from the looks of their auras, the two were at least in the Xuan King of the Second Rank realm.

    "This Hundred Hero Competition is really interesting. I didn''t expect to meet a pair of Xuanhuang so soon." Towards this black and white ghost, Xia Xuan did not feel any fear.

    "You''re the first one to laugh when you see us these days, but it''s good to be a laughingstock." As soon as the nigger finished speaking, his eyes turned exceptionally sharp, and a wave of killing intent immediately exploded out.

    Chapter 89 - Mantis (2)

    Seeing the black man releasing his killing intent, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand appeared in a flash. The flamethrower was horizontally in front of him and blocked a hand that was about to grab him. He saw the black and white ghost''s figure slowly disappearing in the distance. So it was just an afterimage of them. After blocking the nigger''s claws, the flamethrower in the hands below suddenly shook and pushed the nigger back. Without hesitation, it flung the flamethrower behind it, and without knowing when, the white ghost was already behind Xia Xuan, the claws condensed by the spiritual energy grabbing towards Xia Xuan''s back.

    Xia Xuan''s reaction was extremely fast. In the eyes of the Sickle Mantis and the other two, Xia Xuan had only held the pike horizontally in front of him for a moment, and then threw it fiercely behind him. Afterwards, the nigger was forced to retreat, and the White Ghost that wanted to sneak an attack on him was even thrown away by the spear.

    The nigger and Bai Gui looked at Xia Xuan in shock. This Xia Xuan was clearly just a Third-rank Xuan King, but with their strength at the second stage of Xuanhuang, they were unable to harm him in the slightest.

    "Do you take us for mantises and cicadas?" Xia Xuan said with a smile, while the binocular narrowed its eyes. He had sensed the existence of these two from the very beginning. He knew that in the Myriad Spirit Realm, there was a special habit that many people liked to take other people''s heads, the more heads they had, the stronger they would prove themselves to be. Moreover, it was not dangerous to quickly collect heads.

    "You must be pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, right?" The nigger''s voice was no longer eerie and had unknowingly become a bit more vicious.

    Xia Xuan laughed, but did not say anything, and silently condensed the spiritual energy above.

    The black and white ghost looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. The two of them disappeared in a flash, but this time, they did not attack Xia Xuan again.

    Xia Xuan did not rush to chase after the two of them. The spiritual energy gathered by his side and formed a clone, which was also holding onto the flamethrower, but its aura was far weaker than Xia Xuan''s. Xia Xuan and the clone flashed at the same time, and after about three minutes, Xia Xuan and the clone returned at the same time, the Black and White Ghost was thrown fiercely onto the ground.

    After the clone left, Xia Xuan stared at the black and white ghost with a playful expression. He asked with narrowed eyes, "The two of you shouldn''t be the only ones in your Empire of Yama, right?

    "What are you doing?" Hearing Xia Xuan''s question, the nigger was immediately shocked. Could this Xia Xuan have some sort of enmity with his Empire of Yama?

    "Will you tell me?"

    "Don''t say it."

    "Very good." Xia Xuan carried the Black and White Ghost and walked far away until he was hidden from Wang Hao and the others.

    After a while, two screams sounded out. The Black and White Ghost let out a cry of pain, a cry that came from the bottom of their hearts. Even though the ones being tortured were not Sickle and the other two, the three couldn''t help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard this.

    "Scared?" Su Bing patted Ye Mo''s and the sickle''s shoulders and said calmly. In the The Divine Realm, they had seen many of the Deicide torturing their enemies, but no matter how many times they saw it, they felt a chill in their hearts. There were people who said that even stones would say that they were wrong when in the hands of the Deicide, so one could see just how terrifying the Deicide torturing people was.

    After a while, Xia Xuan came back with a smile on his face. Looking at Xia Xuan''s face with his eyes narrowed, Sickle and the other two felt chills down their spines, they couldn''t believe that this smiling man was the creator of that terrifying wail.

    "I''ve asked, let''s go find the treasure." Xia Xuan said as he began to walk towards the distance.

    "Big Brother, bring us along." Sickle three people suddenly kneeled on the ground and shouted at Xia Xuan.

    "Let''s go." Xia Xuan nodded and continued walking away.

    Chapter 90 - Reunion (1)

    The Myriad Spirit Realm was actually an ancient battlefield. It was said that the battle had shocked the The Divine Realm, and that there were hundreds of participants in the battle with Ares-class, including a Divine Master. That was why the spiritual energy in the Myriad Spirit Realm were so dense. The Participant would always search for the remnants of the Hundred Heroes Competition in an attempt to find the martial arts legacy left behind by their ancestors.

    More than half of the Participant in the Myriad Spirit Realm had rushed to these three places in the last few days. This was also why Xia Xuan and the rest had ambushed only two teams of people after entering the Myriad Spirit Realm.

    Xia Xuan and the rest obtained the location from the Black and White Ghosts. Xia Xuan naturally liked these places with good things, especially those places where cultivation levels could rise.

    A group of ten people traversed through the forest before stopping in front of a human figure. The man had a head full of black hair. Although he wasn''t very old, he was already comparable to a seventeen year old.

    After Xia Xuan stopped, Wang Hao and the rest also stopped. Looking at Xia Xuan in front of them, Wang Hao could not help but ask curiously: "Why did you stop?"

    Xia Xuan kept staring at the forest in the distance. He sensed the fluctuations of a spiritual energy from the forest, which was a little familiar. Sensing the familiar fluctuation of the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan could not help but hang a smile on his face, and said to Wang Hao and the others: "You guys wait for me for a while." Then, he lightly tapped the leaves with his feet and rushed in the direction of the spiritual energy.

    Wang Hao and the rest looked at each other, they were a little suspicious, but the smile on Xia Xuan''s face before was really strange, that kind of smile was something that could only appear when he met the demon god, but now...

    "It seems big brother met some interesting people when he was out wandering." Wang Hao touched his chin, looking at Xia Xuan who was stepping on the leaves and walking away, he could not help but laugh.

    In a forest, three men with spiritual energy bodies were gathered. The three of them were Xuanhuang Warriors and there was a door behind them. In front of the three of them was a woman. She could be said to be devastatingly beautiful with her white clothes on, and her aura was also at the peak of the seventh level of Xuanhuang. In the Hundred Heroes Competition, she was considered to be of the middle level, and this person was Jiao Ling.

    "Surrender obediently, we can spare your life, otherwise, hehe." The leader of the three stared at the beautiful body of Jiao Ling with a perverted look in his eyes. In this Hundred Heroes'' Competition, there were no rules. As long as one had the strength, he could do anything, including snatching someone else''s body.

    "Keep dreaming." Jiao Ling said angrily. The three people in front of him had been lying in ambush the entire time. By relying on sneak attacks to collect heads, they had injured Jiao Ling''s left arm. At this moment, he was using his right hand to grab his left hand and staring at the three people in front of him.

    "Stubborn fool." The three of them could not help but sneer. Then, they simultaneously activated their spiritual energy s, and the three spiritual energy s directly rushed towards Jiao Ling. These three people did not know how to care for a woman.

    Jiao Ling waved his right hand and a powerful flame appeared in front of his. The three spiritual energy were immediately burnt by the wall of fire.

    This Jiao Ling had trained in the Flood Dragon''s Flame Mantra, so his body was filled with the aura of flood dragons. Although his cultivation was only at the seventh level of Xuanhuang, compared to the eighth level of Xuanhuang, the odds of his winning were more than eighty percent.

    "Why hold on for so long? When your spiritual energy is completely gone, you will still be at our mercy. " The three of them were not in a hurry either, constantly using spiritual energy to attack the wall of fire, slowly consuming Jiao Ling''s spiritual energy.

    The three of them were, after all, at the sixth stage of Xuanhuang.

    Seeing that the fire wall was getting weaker, Jiao Ling took out a crystal stone. Just as she was about to throw the crystal stone, the attacks of the three of them suddenly stopped.

    Not understanding what was going on, Jiao Ling stuck his head out of the wall of fire. At this moment, the three of them had their backs against the fire wall and vigilantly observed their surroundings.

    "Who''s up to it?" The three of them roared at the surroundings. Just now, three throwing knives had appeared out of nowhere. The location of the wound was exactly the same as where Jiao Ling had been injured, as if that person had done it on purpose.

 C91

    Chapter 91 - Reunion (2)

    Jiao Ling didn''t know what was going on. Logically speaking, there shouldn''t be any experts who would help her, unless ˇ­

    "Why are you so careless?" A voice sounded out from behind Jiao Ling. However, before that voice could fade away, Jiao Ling suddenly turned around and hugged that figure. He was actually unable to stop himself from crying. She remembered this voice. It was that person who saved his and her clan when her clan was at the brink of destruction, and it was he who gave his strength. The reason why she came to the Hundred Heroes Competition was largely because of that person, Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan was also stunned by his hug, but very quickly a gentle look surfaced in his eyes. He hugged Jiao Ling with both hands and patted her back lightly, saying gently: "Alright, everything is fine."

    The three people who were sneakily attacked also noticed Xia Xuan, and immediately shouted at him: "Where did this brat come from, quickly release him."

    Xia Xuan did not immediately bother with the three of them. Instead, he slowly let go of Jiao Ling and wiped his tears, gently saying, "Wait for me."

    "Yes." Jiao Ling nodded obediently.

    Turning his head to look at the three of them, the smile on Xia Xuan''s face slowly disappeared, and was replaced with a hint of anger. The three people in front of him had already angered him;

    A terrifying killing intent burst out from Xia Xuan''s body, causing the three of them to jump in fright. However, when the three of them noticed Xia Xuan''s Third-rank Xuan King, they could not help but laugh, thinking that Xia Xuan was just a guy with aura who immediately rushed towards the Enchanted Dragon Path. "Are you stupid?

    "Humph!" Back then, he had witnessed Xia Xuan''s strength before, and even Mysterious Sect experts were not his match. Wasn''t it an easy feat for the three people in front of him just a mere Xuanhuang?

    "Brat, women bring calamity to others. Remove one of your arms, and we will allow you to scram." One of them said to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan did not care about the three of them, but instead kept walking towards the three of them. Every time his feet landed, a deep footprint would be left on the ground, which, coupled with his astonishing killing intent, really made the three of them feel weak in their hearts.

    "Tch." The person leading the three scolded, and then, the spiritual energy converged towards Xia Xuan.

    "Swish!" Before the three of them could charge forward, a figure had already appeared in front of the person in front of them. A fist viciously smashed into his stomach, causing his qi and blood to boil as he directly knelt on the ground.

    The other two were also shocked, with his sixth stage Xuanhuang, they were unable to see Xia Xuan''s movements clearly, this kind of strength, could it be that he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

    Without enough time to think, the two of them immediately punched out at Xia Xuan, but just as the two fists were about to hit Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and disappeared, and when he appeared again behind the other man, a black scale lance pierced through his body, and fresh blood immediately flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Before the man could react, he was killed by Xia Xuan.

    When the remaining person saw this situation, he couldn''t help but retreat a few steps, and in a short moment, defeated the two Mystical King s. This kind of strength was definitely not Third-rank Xuan King.

    Xia Xuan pulled out the flamethrower and slowly walked towards the last man. When he passed by the man who was beaten up, the flamethrower in his hand stabbed ferociously, causing the man''s head to explode.

    "Just who are you?" The remaining man looked at Xia Xuan in fear and spoke with a trembling voice.

    "The person who bullied me even asked who I was, it''s simply laughable." Xia Xuan sneered.

    "You are from the Ten Thousand Rock Country?" When the man finished speaking, he felt that something was amiss, and immediately said: "Impossible, it''s the people from Ten Thousand Rock Country who hired us to ambush them, who the hell are you?"

    "Employment? It''s a bit of a story. " With that, Xia Xuan arrived in front of the man, the flamethrower in his hand viciously sliced apart the man''s neck, but the killing intent on his body did not diminish, because there were more than three people who wanted to harm Jiao Ling, Deicide had their revenge.

 C92

    Chapter 92 - Revenge (1)

    After putting away the flamethrower, Xia Xuan turned and walked towards Jiao Ling. He instantly retracted the murderous aura on his body and a gentle smile appeared on his face. It was hard to imagine that Xia Xuan, like him, had cruelly killed three Xuanhuang Rankers just now.

    When he arrived in front of Jiao Ling, he didn''t say anything. His cheeks were already as red as an apple. He lowered his head and occasionally stole a glance at the figure that was walking towards him.

    Xia Xuan did not say anything, both of his hands gently grabbed onto Jiao Ling''s left hand, and carefully examined his injury.

    "It''s nothing, just a small injury." Jiao Ling''s inaudible voice sounded. But before she could finish speaking, a wave of spiritual energy had already moved to his left arm and healed the wound for Jiao Ling.

    This method of healing consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Although Jiao Ling''s wound wasn''t really that serious, when he completely recovered, Xia Xuan''s lips were already a little white.

    "Why are you here?" Jiao Ling said as she raised her head to look at Xia Xuan''s slightly pale face.

    "What will you do if I don''t come?" Xia Xuan patted Jiao Ling''s head, and as if he was treating a child, his face revealed a gentle smile.

    Bringing Jiao Ling to the front of Wang Hao and the others, everyone surrounded the girl who was so close to Xia Xuan, causing his to be extremely close to him.

    He pulled Xia Xuan to the side and asked softly: "I did, what does that have to do with you?"

    With regards to Wu Zhi''s question, Xia Xuan had a face of helplessness, as he did not know how to answer. Just then, Shangguan Zelong suddenly placed his hand on Xia Xuan''s shoulder, his eyes revealed a wretched look, and said: "I think it''s most likely a little lover, I have to tell Big Sis about this matter."

    Hearing Shangguan Zelong talking about big sister, Xia Xuan immediately felt a headache. He hurriedly covered Shangguan Zelong''s mouth and smiled at Jiao Ling, who was not far away from him.

    After the farce, the group of eleven once again set foot on the road towards the ruins. What was most irritating was Xia Xuan and Jiao Ling holding hands, and talking and laughing, very much like a attack to a single dog.

    It was said that this was a residence that was constructed with the last remnants of its power before its death. Although this residence had been turned into ruins in the middle of the war, there were still many good things inside that had attracted the attention of the Participant s.

    Standing outside the canyon, they did not immediately enter the canyon. Instead, they stood on a high slope outside the canyon, and looked in the direction of the canyon. It was not that they did not want to enter, but the entrance to the canyon had already been divided up by the various forces.

    Xia Xuan was currently watching the entrance of the canyon, when Jiao Ling suddenly tightened his grip on Xia Xuan. From his face, one could see a hint of fear, and he couldn''t help but clench his teeth on his red lips.

    Seeing Jiao Ling like that, Xia Xuan could not help but be confused, but he also noticed that Jiao Ling''s gaze was always fixed in a direction. Following his line of sight, he saw five young men around twenty years old resting with their eyes closed at an empty spot at the entrance of canyon.

    "Those five are people from the Ten Thousand Rock Country, right?" Xia Xuan held onto Jiao Ling''s hand and asked.

    "Yes." Jiao Ling lightly nodded.

    The binocular opened its eyes and looked towards Xia Xuan. When it saw Jiao Ling, who was beside Xia Xuan, it could not help but crease its eyebrows, but it did not have much of a reaction. The binocular once again closed its eyes and rested.

    "Found an empty seat." Xia Xuan said to Wang Hao and the others, and then walked towards the entrance of the canyon. Wang Hao and the rest were doubtful, the entrance to the canyon was obviously full, why would Xia Xuan say that he found an empty seat?

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan and the rest arrived at the place where no one else was waiting. When Xia Xuan stepped into the fifth territory, the man who had noticed Xia Xuan long ago opened his mouth and said: "Friend, this is the Ten Thousand Rock Country''s territory. Please leave."

    "Isn''t this person beside me a part of your Ten Thousand Rock Country?" Xia Xuan sneered, and then moved his body to reveal Jiao Ling, who was behind him.

    "He has already associated with the people of other empires. I do not recognize him as a member of our Wanyan Empire." The man opened his eyes and glanced at Jiao Ling, then closed the binocular again.

 C93

    Chapter 93 - Revenge (2)

    That being the case. The smile on Xia Xuan''s face did not lessen just because of the man''s words, instead, it increased instead. However, this kind of talent was often the scariest, because this Xia Xuan would definitely leave an unforgettable impression on his opponent.

    Xia Xuan then took another step forward, his entire person entering the Ten Thousand Rock Country''s territory.

    The surrounding people naturally sensed the situation, and all of their gazes immediately turned towards them. This kind of situation would often happen, and if there was any deep hatred between individuals or empires, they would try to settle their personal grudges outside the ruins by seizing territory, which the Participant called stealing territory, and this kind of good show could be said to be a very good show.

    "There''s going to be another good show." A voice came out from the crowd: "Isn''t that the people from the Ten Thousand Rock Country? It''s said that the people from the Ten Thousand Rock Country have good relations with many empires. I never thought that there would actually be someone daring enough to steal their territory."

    "Kid, you want to steal territory?" Seeing Xia Xuan entering the territory, the five of them all opened their binocular s, and the spiritual energy rushed out, as if it was a wild beast warning the other wild beasts.

    Xia Xuan did not have any reaction, he still took a step forward, as this was a form of provocation towards his enemy.

    "You''re courting death." The man snorted angrily. He didn''t know why Xia Xuan dared to provoke them with his Third-rank Xuan King, he only knew that he was being provoked in public. Then, this matter would definitely not end like this.

    The man rushed towards Xia Xuan in a flash, but Xia Xuan did not show any signs of weakness, both of his legs stepping on the ground as he welcomed the man.

    The surrounding people could not help but exclaim out loud, the man''s name was Qiu Pingyang, his strength was already at the peak of the sixth stage of Xuanhuang, yet Xia Xuan only had Third-rank Xuan King, I really did not know how Xia Xuan had the courage to fight him head-on.

    The two of them instantly clashed, but surprisingly, Qiu Pingyang did not even have the strength to retaliate when he was in Xia Xuan''s hands. The two of them kicked each other, and Xia Xuan who was kicked did not seem to have any injuries, but Qiu Pingyang who was kicked immediately flew out, and directly stopped when he landed on the wall of the canyon.

    Everyone gulped down their saliva. This Qiu Pingyang was still a Xuanhuang Ranker, although he could only be considered a mid-ranked warrior in the Hundred Hero Competition, it would still be hard for him to beat him like this even if he was half a step into the Mysterious Sect.

    Xia Xuan walked over to Qiu Pingyang''s side, and all the people from the other empires hurriedly avoided him. With one hand, he grabbed Qiu Pingyang out from the mountain wall, while his other hand clenched into a fist.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan''s fist was about to smash down, an spiritual energy flying needle rushed towards Xia Xuan, but in the desperation of the moment, Xia Xuan turned his head and dodged the attack. Just then, a figure appeared beside Xia Xuan, grabbing onto him with the intent to save him.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan snorted coldly, but he did not try to stop him. Instead, he tightly grabbed onto Qiu Pingyang''s arm and broke one of his arms with force, causing Qiu Pingyang to scream miserably in pain.

    The figure that had rescued Qiu Pingyang stopped not too far away from Xia Xuan. He glanced at the miserable Qiu Pingyang who had lost an arm, then furiously glared at Xia Xuan, and said: "Little brother, this isn''t good, right?"

    Xia Xuan flung the severed arm in his hand to the side, and then looked at the man with a playful look, unceremoniously saying: "None of your business, hand the person over, or else I''ll beat you up too."

    The man was enraged by Xia Xuan''s words, the spiritual energy burst out, he was actually a first stage Mysterious Sect, activated the spiritual energy and rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    It was at this moment that six figures appeared beside Xia Xuan. With the souls of the six gods in their bodies, the auras of six first grade Mysterious Sect erupted, shocking the entire audience.

    "Little brother, I am Lie Feng Nation''s Lie Bing. Can you spare this boy for my sake?" Facing the six first stage Mysterious Sect, the man did not dare to move, and immediately cupped his hands and said.

    "Hand him over, or else you''ll die too." Xia Xuan did not change his attitude at all because of what the man said, and said as before.

    The man also saw Xia Xuan''s temper and knew that words would be useless. Carrying Qiu Pingyang, he prepared to leave, but before he had taken a few steps, a black scale lance pierced through his body, and returned to Xia Xuan''s hands.

    "You ˇ­" The man was immediately angered, but he was afraid of Wang Hao and the other three''s strength, so he said: "Remember this." With that, the man flung his sleeves and stormed off.

    Got it.

 C94

    Chapter 94 - Beginning of Treasure Seeking (1)

    Jiao Ling hurried to Xia Xuan''s side and looked at him carefully. After confirming that Xia Xuan was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.

    "Nothing? Rest assured. " Xia Xuan smiled gently, patted on Jiao Ling''s head and said.

    "How is this fine? The Liefeng Empire is ranked nineteenth among the super empires, so offending them would be troublesome." Jiao Ling quickly said. These twenty empires all possessed great strength, and for the past hundred years, the rankings of these twenty empires had never changed. Even the twenty-first ranked empire was like an ant in front of the twentieth ranked empire.

    "So what? No matter who it is, as long as they injure you, I will make them pay with their blood." Xia Xuan''s words gave Wang Hao and the others goosebumps all over, and they all rolled their eyes at the two of them. They really wanted to pummel this couple.

    Jiao Ling was moved by Xia Xuan''s words, but after thinking about it again, he lowered his head, wanting to say something, but he did not know how to do it. Xia Xuan was naturally able to guess what Jiao Ling was thinking, that Qiu Pingyang was the prince of Ten Thousand Rock Country, if the news of Xia Xuan killing him were to spread, then the Wyrm Flame Clan would not be able to continue staying in the Ten Thousand Rock Country.

    "Rest assured, after the Hundred Hero Competition, the Ten Thousand Rock Country''s surname is Jiao." Xia Xuan said heroically as he held the dragon cry in his arms and looked towards the sky in the distance.

    The man in front of her would always help her whenever she was in danger. Now, before the danger even appeared, he had already shouldered the responsibility, in the eyes of Jiao Ling, Xia Xuan was an unrivaled hero, his body seemed to have a kind of dazzling radiance.

    At this time, everyone was outside of the canyon, every single one of them was recuperating, no one was entering the canyon, not because they did not want to, but because there was a thunder wall there. This thunder wall was extremely powerful, so strong that even Profound Emperor experts would not be able to withstand it. It was unknown who created this type of lightning power. Almost every ruin had this kind of thunder wall.

    Although they had the protection of Lei Qiang, it did not mean that they could not enter the ruins. Under long-term observation, the Participant found out that there was a undulating section of the thunder wall''s power. When the strength of the thunder wall had dropped to the lowest level, even the Mystical King would be able to break in.

    "Crack." Countless Lightning''s voices came from within the canyon. The dazzling light would occasionally flash as thunder snake flew out from the canyon and landed on the ground, directly slashing out a few inches deep lightning scar.

    "Time to go." Xia Xuan who was resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his binocular, looked at canyon who was filled with Lightning, and actually walked straight to canyon.

    Wang Hao and the rest did not hesitate as they followed Xia Xuan towards the canyon. Others might not know, but they knew that the thunder wall was created by burning the last bit of power in the god. This kind of thunder wall had a miraculous effect on body transformation, as long as the appropriate body transformation technique was used, it could be used for body transformation.

    However, she did not hesitate and crawled up from the ground, then chased after Xia Xuan. Sickle Three looked at each other, and after a slight hesitation, she also chased after him.

    The surrounding people looked at Xia Xuan and the rest in confusion. They really didn''t understand what Xia Xuan and his group wanted to do, since thunder wall was currently at their strongest, even though there were six Mysterious Sect experts in his group, they didn''t have enough power to challenge the thunder wall.

    No one tried to stop him, as they were all very curious about what Xia Xuan was going to do next. At the same time, they were imagining how Xia Xuan and the others would cry if he died after failing to clear the thunder wall, and it was definitely going to be a good show.

    Xia Xuan went in front of the thunder wall and sized it up. Seeing the full strength of the Lightning, he could not help but nod his head in satisfaction, and then called the Sickle, Sickle, and the other two over to his side. On his finger, the spiritual energy drew a strange pattern in the air with its brush, and with a flash, the four of them arrived at the other side of the thunder wall.

    "They have a way to get past the thunder wall." When the people outside the canyon who had been observing Xia Xuan and the rest saw this scene, they immediately shouted out. Everyone could no longer resist, standing up one by one, and rushing towards Xia Xuan and the rest.

    Xia Xuan and the other three looked at each other, and then, silver thunder snake spiraled around them. The seven of them didn''t hesitate to jump into the thunder wall, regardless of whether it was Jiao Ling''s group of four or the people outside canyon, they were all shocked by this scene.

 C95

    Chapter 95 - Beginning of Treasure Seeking (2)

    What followed next was an even more shocking scene. Xia Xuan and the rest of the seven were completely unharmed after jumping into the high wall. The Lightning energy continuously flowed into the bodies of the seven people, and afterwards, some silver spots actually surfaced on their skin.

    They looked at each other. They did not know why Xia Xuan and the others would be unharmed after entering the thunder wall, but the terrifying energy of the thunder wall did exist.

    One of the Participant s slowly walked towards the thunder wall and extended his hand towards it. Just as his hand made contact with the thunder wall, the terrifying power of lightning directly turned the Participant into a pile of charcoal, scaring everyone present to the point that they couldn''t help but retreat.

    Inside the thunder wall, Xia Xuan looked at those people who were frightened quite a bit. He couldn''t help but laugh secretly, and then turned his head towards Jiao Ling and the other three, and said: "You guys stay here, there are a lot of dangerous places inside, don''t run around."

    "Yes." The four nodded obediently.

    After giving out their instructions, Xia Xuan looked at Wang Hao and the other six and nodded. The seven of them sat cross-legged together and started cultivating.

    As the seven people entered into their cultivation state, the power of thunder crazily rushed into their bodies, drilling into their bodies through their acupoints and causing silver spots to appear on their bodies.

    Because the lightning energy within the thunder wall was too powerful, everyone, including Jiao Ling''s group of four and the other Participant s, could see seven blurry figures. However, if they were within the thunder wall s, they would discover that the seven people were tightly biting the gingiva, and their bodies could not help but spasm.

    There was a period of fluctuation in the power of thunder. When the power of thunder reached its peak, its power would slowly weaken, reaching its weakest point in about half a month.

    Xia Xuan''s group of seven had been cultivating in the thunder wall for ten days already, and none of them wasn''t in so much pain that they had lost consciousness, and their eyelids drooped.

    Although the process was painful, the effect was not bad. The skin of the seven of them was completely silvery white in color, but right now, even if they let a Xuanhuang Ranker attack them with all their might, they would not be harmed at all.

    The seven of them looked at the slowly weakening power of the thunder wall, then nodded at each other, and walked towards the ruins together. There were still five days before thunder wall''s power would be at its weakest, so if they wanted to force their way in, they would need to wait at least three days before some Mysterious Sect experts could barge in.

    After walking out of the thunder wall, the skin of Xia Xuan''s group of seven immediately returned to normal, but the current them was completely different from before. They gave off a feeling of helplessness, as if there was a silver light shining under their skin.

    "Let''s go, it''s time to start searching for the treasure." With his hands behind his back, Xia Xuan walked leisurely towards the ruins with a smile on his face.

    "They went in." The Participant outside the canyon immediately noticed Xia Xuan''s group''s movements, and immediately someone shouted out.

    "What should we do, they went in so early, won''t the treasures in the relic be taken away?" Another person said.

    Just at this moment, Lie Bing stood out and shouted: "Everyone listen to me, there''s only one entrance to this relic, if they take it away, we can just force them to hand it over."

    "Yes, this is how it should be." Hearing this, countless Participant immediately responded.

    There was a sinister look in his eyes. Although he alone was not a match for Xia Xuan and the others, he had his own ways to get them into trouble.

    Chapter 96 - The King of War (1)

    The canyon was abnormally covered with green trees. At a glance, it looked like a paradise, beautiful yet mysterious.

    At first glance, there was a pair of blood red eyes staring at Xia Xuan and the others within the mysterious green forest. However, upon closer look, it wasn''t a pair of blood red eyes, but a pair of big red lanterns instead.

    Rather than calling it a ruin, it was more like a deserted castle. The castle was not very big, but there was a type of suppression hidden within it, as if the one in front of them wasn''t a castle, but an ancient beast from ancient times.

    Looking at the green forest that had a roof, Jiao Ling and the other three felt a chill in their hearts. Without soul, they had an innate fear of God''s creations, as if the ruled slaves would feel a touch of fear when they saw their master.

    "I''ve finally found you, heart-tower." Xia Xuan looked at the black castle, and couldn''t help but say with a slight smile.

    "What is the heart-tower?" Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Jiao Ling could not help but ask out of curiosity.

    "The heart-tower is a tower constructed with the heart of a god before the god dies. This tower is itself a type of treasure, and the god would even store his lifetime''s collection within it." Xia Xuan''s face was full of smiles, but the words that came out of his mouth caused Jiao Ling and the others to be shocked.

    The gods were supreme existences to humans, and they were divided into Ares-class, Divine Masters, Divine Generals, and Celestial King. Even a single Ares-class had a lifespan of over a million years, and its strength was definitely not something a human could compare with.

    Looking at the shocked expressions of the four people, Xia Xuan could not help but smile helplessly, and then continued to walk toward heart-tower.

    After entering the green forest, there were no signs of any spirit beast howling. However, that did not mean that there were no spirit beast here. It was just that the spirit beast were all cowering in a corner as if they were afraid of something.

    Appearing in front of his eyes was a tall and big castle. Looking at the castle, Xia Xuan was shocked, he shouted: "The king of the troops!"

    Of course, you didn''t know what the king of the troops meant. Immediately, you asked, "What is the king of the army?"

    "The divine power is divided into Ares-class, Divine Master, Divine General, and Celestial King, but not all of the Ares-class are equal. Even a Divine Master might not be a match for the strongest true spirit power." Xia Xuan patiently explained.

    Jiao Ling and the other three were even more surprised. To them, even the weakest Ares-class was already considered to be a super expert, let alone a king among soldiers. Even before entering the tower, Sickle and the other two were already eager to give it a try.

    When he arrived in front of the heart-tower, he did not see the entrance to the heart-tower. Not only did he not see a window, the entire heart-tower was completely sealed off.

    Xia Xuan did not feel that it was strange. How could he give a God''s item to someone else? Of course, this kind of test wasn''t anything to Xia Xuan, only a figure slowly appeared behind him. That figure looked exactly the same as Xia Xuan, but his Profound Spirit Qi was absolutely incomparable to Xia Xuan''s.

    A door was forcefully split open, and although the God would not easily hand the treasure to the Homo sapiens, he would still give the treasure to the God, especially to Deicide, the number one general. Giving his own collection to the Deicide was an honor to every Ares-class.

    and the rest of the seven did not have much of a reaction when they entered the tower, but Jiao Ling and the others were dumbstruck. did not seem to be that big from the outside, but after entering the tower, they felt like they had arrived at a city.

    "It''s just a distorted space, nothing much." Xia Xuan glanced at Jiao Ling''s surprised expression and could not help but laugh.

    The first floor of the heart-tower was the widest, it was divided into countless of rooms, and at the same time, contained the cheapest treasures. Xia Xuan did not even look at the stairs as he walked towards the next floor, but he did not say that he did not want to go to the first floor.

    The second floor''s space was a lot smaller than the first floor, so they could at least see the end of the floor. There was no longer any room, and there were countless pillars, and on these pillars, there were all sorts of things, such as martial arts technique s, spirit pills and medicine, and all sorts of precious items.

 C97

    Chapter 97 - King of War (2)

    When the spiritual energy swept the area, Xia Xuan immediately knew what was inside, and immediately walked towards a stone pillar. There was a golden stone on the stone pillar, although it was a stone, but it would wiggle from time to time, as if it was alive.

    Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the stone flew into his hands. Sensing the danger, the stone started to wiggle frantically, and actually let out a strange cry.

    "It''s just a golden wall stone. Be quiet." Xia Xuan bellowed, then the spiritual energy twisted its body, causing a translucent rock to be pulled out. This metal rock was actually not an ordinary rock, but a spirit stone with a beast spirit.

    Taking out the beast spirit, Xia Xuan called the little Zheng over, then called out the flamethrower and threw the beast spirit to Little Zheng. The little Zheng swallowed the beast spirit in one gulp, and then licked its lips, as if it had eaten something extremely delicious. At the same time, the Small Flood Dragon turned into a flame spear and swallowed the Spirit Stone. After a loud explosion, it returned back into Xia Xuan''s body.

    "You guys can keep everything here. I''ll go to the last floor to get two things." After dealing with the golden wall stone, Xia Xuan headed straight for the third floor. He knew that there were two things on the third floor of heart-tower that would be of great use to Xia Xuan.

    Three days passed very quickly and quite a few Mysterious Sect experts had already passed through the thunder wall. Under their cooperation, a large number of Xuanhuang experts had also forcefully passed through.

    After passing through the thunder wall, no matter who it was, their first reaction would be to rush towards the canyon. One must know that the remnants found in the previous Hundred Heroes Competition were all enormous, and it was not guaranteed that they would be able to completely move everything away within three days.

    They stood outside the green forest, but did not see any remnants. There were only eleven people sitting outside the green forest, and the eleven people sat around a big pot. The pot was cooking meat, and not far away were a few spirit beast corpses.

    "Hey." Seeing that the Participant s had finally rushed over, Xia Xuan greeted them with a kind smile.

    "Hey your head, where''s the relic?" Everyone shouted angrily, it was fine for Xia Xuan''s group to enter first, but now they had actually swallowed the remains, wasn''t this purposely causing public outrage?

    "Sorry, the owner of the relic doesn''t want to give you the treasure." Xia Xuan shrugged and laughed.

    "It''s no use trying to persuade me kindly, let''s do it." Fierce Ice shouted loudly from within the crowd. The spiritual energy condensed and was about to rush towards Xia Xuan. Seeing that, the others did not have any time to think further, they gathered and rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan did not move, but a loud noise came from behind him. This figure did not have the enormous killing intent of the Deicide''s soul, nor the aura of a high-ranking officer from the Deicide, but instead had the aura of an Overlord''s weapon, as though it was a one on one position that could not be opened.

    The gigantic figure waved his hand and directly sent nearly a hundred experts flying. However, those close to a hundred people did not even have the time to react.

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan couldn''t help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the unconscious people''s injuries in the distance. But, the third floor of the heart-tower had the soul of the Soldier King. With this soul, Xia Xuan''s strength would not only increase by leaps and bounds, his cultivation speed would also increase greatly, and the treasure hunt this time could be said to have a great harvest.

    Chapter 98 - The Core of the Earth (1)

    Seeing the unconscious people and the wailing wails on the ground, Jiao Ling and the other three were dumbstruck. Obviously, they did not expect Xia Xuan to be so powerful.

    "Not bad, you can leave now." Xia Xuan said as he nodded towards the huge shadow.

    "Yes, Lord God of Death." The giant shadow said respectfully.

    Sickle three were stunned for a moment, then immediately kneeled on the ground, continuously kowtowing to Xia Xuan, immediately saying: "Lord God of Death, this little one has eyes but was unable to recognize Mount Tai, if I have offended you in any way, please do not blame me." The three of them had collapsed in their hearts. There was no one in the Mainland who did not know of the Deicide''s name, and the three of them even suspected that Xia Xuan was bringing them to cruelly torture.

    "Get up, Deicide is not so scary, is there a need to be like this?" Jiao Ling covered his mouth and laughed softly. In her opinion, the way the three before her looked when they were scared was quite cute.

    "Since this is the Lord God of Death, then are you the Lord of demon god?" Everyone knew that Deicide and his wife, demon god, were the strongest couple in the The Divine Realm. One was the First Godly General of the The Divine Realm, while the other was a super Godly General who had defeated ten Godly Generals by himself.

    Hearing the Sickle Branch mention the demon god, Jiao Ling immediately became a little disappointed. He slightly lowered his head and said, "No, it''s not like that."

    The sickle immediately noticed something and immediately remained silent. The entire place immediately became silent, and only the moans of pain from the people who were sent flying by the Soldier King could be heard.

    Just at this moment, Xia Xuan''s voice broke the silence, and he said: "Alright, let''s take a look at what we have gained in these three days."

    With that, hundreds of storage rings appeared on the ground, he pointed at the storage ring on the ground, Xia Xuan said one by one: "This time we harvested 13 million Mysterious Spirit Pill, one divine instrument, all sorts of elixirs, there are countless Weapons in the mortal world, countless martial arts technique, as well as the soul I found on the third floor and another item, please forgive me but I cannot tell you what that item is."

    "Everything will be decided by Lord God of Death." Sickle three hurriedly said. They did not dare to allow the Lord God of Death to treat them so politely. Otherwise, they might just die one day without even knowing how they did it.

    "This Mysterious Spirit Pill is a type of currency produced by the The Divine Realm, it has extremely pure spiritual energy, and can be used for cultivation. We can split these Mysterious Spirit Pill evenly, and I want to give that divine instrument to Jiao Ling, so just consider it my bit of selfishness." After saying that, Xia Xuan became a little embarrassed, but he still said: "As Qing Lian''s disciple, Wu Zhi, I want to give him the Pills. As for the mortal world''s Weapons, we don''t need them, so you three can take them.

    After spending six hours, the eleven of them picked the cultivation technique that they wanted. Xia Xuan only took a cultivation technique called flash lightning, this technique was originally a Divine Level 7 martial art, but it was not complete, and could only be compared to Profound Rank Level 9 martial arts. It was said that after mastering this technique, one could cultivate it faster than a Lightning, and relying on its high speed, it could transform into a clone that had the same strength as him, which was very useful for Xia Xuan.

    After distributing all of the items, Xia Xuan said again, "Once the distribution of the items has been completed, let''s talk about another matter. Who would be willing to enter the Divine Hall with me?"

    These words immediately shocked everyone. There was indeed a God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master participating in the ancient battle, but no one had found the manor in the past thousands of years. People even thought that the God Tier Consolidating Equipment Master had left nothing behind.

    "The battle of the black box was led by the three great Soldier King s by the Sun Phoenix God. Although we won in the end, not a single person from the hundreds of Ares-class survived. Xia Xuan said again, "This time, we have found the Ares-class that is in charge of the materials. The three Great God''s War Houses are definitely not that simple, I believe that the Divine Master Manor is right under our feet."

    "What!" Everyone cried out in alarm, and one by one, they stamped their feet on the ground. They never thought that beneath their feet would actually be a treasury.

    Xia Xuan squatted on the ground, with his two fingers in the shape of a sword, he drew a pattern on the ground, while saying: "Hurry up and decide if you want to go, no one knows what danger is inside."

    None of the ten were afraid as they loudly yelled, "Go, we must go." Just as they finished talking, the words still reverberated in the canyon, the light array beneath their feet suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, and when the light disappeared, Xia Xuan and the rest also disappeared.

 C99

    Chapter 99 - The Core (2)

    This was a fiery red world, and in front of him was a magma pool. Hot magma boiled within the pool, and the surrounding walls were all fiery red. This was actually the core of the earth. Not long after entering the earth''s core, he couldn''t stop his body from sweating. In the heart of the earth, there was nothing else. There was only an large knife floating above the scorching lava.

    The large knife was blood-red in color and one could vaguely see flames burning from it. Occasionally, one could hear the cry of a phoenix coming out from the large knife.

    "I didn''t expect that someone had already arrived." Just as Xia Xuan and the rest were focusing their attention on the large knife, a powerful voice came out, only then did they realise that there were three doors in the center of the place, and not far away, a group of extremely strong presences walked out.

    Xia Xuan frowned, he thought that he had arrived very early, but he never thought that there would be someone who would arrive so quickly. Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the other gate. He could sense that there were many powerful auras behind the gate, but the owners of those auras were hiding behind the gate and had yet to come out.

    "Do you guys still need to hide?" Xia Xuan spoke towards the door, his voice unknowingly becoming more serious, no one was weak.

    Following Xia Xuan''s voice, a few people walked out from behind the door. The aura they emitted actually had one Profound Emperor, seven Mysterious Sect s, and this kind of strength could already be compared with the lower ranked empires.

    When he looked at the group of people that had arrived before him, he discovered that their strength was similar to the group that was trying to hide.

    "Not a bad perception. I am Phoenix Cry Nation''s Extreme Mirror." The leader of the group of people who tried to hide cupped his hands and said to everyone, appearing very polite.

    Seeing that the people from Phoenix Cry Nation reported their names, the leader of the group also cupped his hands and said: "I am Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom Zhentian Hua."

    Xia Xuan could not help but frown. The Dragon Emperor Feng Ming was the number one and second ranked super empire on the Hundred Emperor List, but they never thought that they would meet each other so early.

    "I am Tiger Roar Country Xia Xuan." Although Xia Xuan found this difficult to deal with in his heart, he did not show them any unfriendly attitude. This was a kind of gentleman''s etiquette, which even the Deicide who had killed countless people would follow.

    "Although we wanted to give the other empires a chance to not go to that ruin, it shouldn''t be possible for them to win over a mere Tiger Roar Country." An enchanting woman standing beside Zhentian with her arms crossed, and looked at Xia Xuan and the others strangely. Her words carried a sense of looking down on them.

    "Lady Ye Qing''s words are wrong. Since they are able to come to this place, it means that they are outstanding. I believe that these people have methods that we do not know of." Hua Ji replied.

    "Humph!" The girl called Ye Qing coldly snorted and turned her head to the side, no longer speaking to him.

    "Boom!" A powerful aura suddenly burst forth, and the Heaven Shaking Flower actually directly released its aura. The aura of a peak level two Mysterious Sect was revealed, immediately causing the heart to tremble, and a few pieces of broken stones to fall down.

    This was what Xia Xuan was worried about. The strength of those present was not weak, if they were to fight here, it was extremely possible that their hearts would collapse, and at that time, forget about divine instrument s, it would be good for them to be able to keep their lives.

    "Everyone, could you give my Qingyun Long some face and listen to my next words of advice?" A handsome man holding a fan spoke out from beside Hua Ji. "Everyone here is an almighty individual, if you attack then it is extremely possible that this place will collapse, we might as well not use spiritual energy s or treasures, all three of us will use ordinary Weapons s, whoever wins will obtain the divine instrument, and the loser will leave with no complaints, what about that?"

    "Alright." Zhentian immediately responded, after that he kept the spiritual energy and looked towards Xia Xuan and the rest.

    At this time, everyone''s attention was focused on Xia Xuan, only to see Xia Xuan giving a light nod of his head.

 C100

    Chapter 100 - The War of the Troops (1)

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had agreed, Zhentian Hua immediately said: "Satisfying."

    After the agreement was completed, the three parties discussed among themselves. Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom sent Zhentian and a pair of brothers named Steel Lion Steel Tiger; Phoenix Cry Nation sent Hua Ji, Qingyun Long and a man named Hua Tianming; Tiger Roar Country sent Xia Xuan, Wang Hao and Su Bing.

    The nine of them stood in a three-way formation as they divided into an empty space. They looked at each other and had their own plans in their minds.

    In their eyes, Xia Xuan and the other two were insignificant and insignificant, but in most cases, this power would determine which side won. If Xia Xuan did not cooperate with either side, then the two sides would definitely eliminate him first, and if Xia Xuan chose a team, then the team he selected would first defeat the enemy, and then take a bite themselves.

    At this moment, Zhentian''s gaze became darker and darker. Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Hua Tian Ji and said, "I have long heard of Phoenix Cry Nation''s Brother Hua Ji''s incredible strength.

    With a simple sentence, it expressed Xia Xuan''s position, causing Hua Ji to immediately smile, and replied to Xia Xuan: "You''re flattering me, for Brother Xia to be able to come here, isn''t your strength outstanding as well?"

    Just then, Zhentian Hua fiercely stomped on the ground, and directly rushed towards Xia Xuan. Although he could not use the spiritual energy, his physique was after all still that of a second stage Profound Emperor, and the body of an expert at that level was already as hard as steel.

    In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Xia Xuan. Zhentian Hua was not someone who ate nothing, he naturally knew that Xia Xuan''s decision would determine the outcome of the battle. However, the outcome of a battle would often change in an instant, and as long as he could quickly finish Xia Xuan off, the two sides working together would have no point.

    Just as Zhentian was about to punch Xia Xuan, a black shadow suddenly burst forward. It was Su Bing, who was currently holding onto a short blade, with the tip of the blade pointed straight at Zhentian. There was a reason why Xia Xuan would choose Su Bing to participate in the battle. Although they could not use spiritual energy s, Su Bing, who had been training his speed since he was young, would definitely become a meteor in the battle.

    Xia Xuan was still standing on the ground motionlessly. Although Zhentian was extremely strong, this did not mean that he was willing to allow Su Bing to stab him.

    Sure enough, facing Su Bing''s attack, Zhentian Hua chose to retreat. After all, there were Hua Ji and the other two on the side who were eyeing him covetously, so an adventure for Xia Xuan was simply not worth it. The Heaven Shaking Flower that was charging towards Xia Xuan suddenly stopped, and then explosively retreated, attempting to dodge Su Bing''s attack.

    Right at that moment, Wang Hao suddenly came out from behind Su Bing. Although he could not use the spiritual energy, it did not stop him from using the Raging Fist Art. Relying on his strong physique, Wang Hao abruptly threw out his tenth punch, which was no longer something Zhentian could defend against.

    Seeing Wang Hao rushing over, Zhentian Hua''s speed increased, and he avoided Wang Hao''s punch under the effect of the explosion, but when Wang Hao''s fist landed on the ground, the terrifying power immediately created a huge pit, even though it did not hit Zhentian, the huge force still sent him flying.

    Seeing that Zhentian had been thwarted, Tie Shi and Tie Hu immediately rushed forward to support them. However, before the two could move, two figures had already blocked the two. They were shockingly Hua Ji and Hua Tianming.

    Zhentian, who was sent flying, stabilised his body as he looked at Wang Hao in shock. The three of them had actually hidden their abilities the most, Su Bing''s speed, Wang Hao''s strength, and Xia Xuan, who had yet to come out.

    Just as he was thinking, Zhentian felt that something was amiss, he realized that Su Bing had disappeared!

    "Looking for me?" A voice so cold that it carried no emotion rang out from behind Zhentian, and a short blade with a cold glint pierced towards the back of Zhentian''s head. In a moment of desperation, Zhentian Hua turned suddenly, his hand grabbing towards the short blade s.

    "Tick." A drop of fresh blood fell onto the ground, which was then quickly evaporated by the high temperature. The short blade in Su Bing''s hand had already pierced through Zhentian''s palm, and fresh blood flowed out from it like a stream.

    He turned his hand and grabbed the short blade, and fiercely kicked at Su Bing, but before could kick it, Su Bing had already thrown his blade and appeared beside Wang Hao in a flash.

    Seeing that Zhentian had been injured within a few rounds, Qingyun Long, who had not fought for a long time, was greatly shocked. His evaluation of Xia Xuan and the other two increased by a few points.

 C101

    Chapter 101 - The War of the Troops (2)

    noticed that the Qingyun Long was looking at him and smiled at him. Wisdom was also a part of one''s strength, and even now, the fact that the Qingyun Long had not made a move did not mean that he was weak.

    He looked at Wang Hao and Su Bing fiercely, then turned to look at Tie Shi and Tie Hu, only to see that under Hua Ji and Hua Tianming''s attacks, the two of them were already retreating. Unwilling to give up, Zhentian Hua clenched his teeth and shouted, "We''re leaving."

    The entire arena was silent. It was obvious that they did not expect Zhentian Hua to admit defeat. Zhentian Hua knew that his side had no chance of winning. Rather than wasting his energy to fight with them, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

    "I hope you won''t regret your standing here today." Zhentian Hua turned and said to Xia Xuan, then turned and spoke to Qingyun Long: "Like I said, you are welcome to support me at any time, you have the qualifications." After saying that, Zhentian led his unresigned group away.

    Towards Zhentian, Xia Xuan had a trace of good will. This person was upright, his strength was strong, even if he lost, he wouldn''t become angry because of embarrassment.

    He turned his head and looked at Qingyun Long who had not spoken a word all this while, and said with a smile: It''s your turn now, what methods are you going to use to deal with us?

    Qingyun Long also looked at Xia Xuan. Towards Xia Xuan, Qingyun Long was very curious, whether it was him or Su Bing, both of them were not weak, but from start to finish, Xia Xuan had never fought. However, since Xia Xuan was the leader, it could be seen that Xia Xuan''s strength was definitely not ordinary.

    "I would also like to know what method you intend to use to deal with us." Qingyun Long replied with a smile.

    "Actually, there is no need for us to fight at all. It is simply impossible for you to subdue this divine instrument." Xia Xuan said mysteriously with his hands behind his back.

    "What do you mean?" Qingyun Long naturally did not know what he meant and asked immediately.

    Xia Xuan turned his head and looked at Wang Hao, who nodded at him, only to see Wang Hao coming to the side of the magma pool, one hand extended towards the flame large knife.

    As if sensing Wang Hao''s summons, the fire large knife suddenly trembled, and then rushed towards Wang Hao fiercely. The back of its blade kept rubbing against Wang Hao, as if it was a pet who was acting spoiled towards its master.

    Qingyun Long was dumbstruck. This Wang Hao was actually the owner of the divine instrument.

    "This ˇ­" Qingyun Long wanted to say something, but he didn''t know what to say. After all, the divine instrument had an owner.

    "The Sun Phoenix God is a general under the command of the Raging Flame God. A thousand years ago, the Raging Flame God lent his Weapons to the Yang Phoenix God, but the Yang Phoenix God never returned. The Flame Sun Knife also sleeps here for a thousand years." Xia Xuan explained to the doubtful Qingyun Long.

    Qingyun Long looked at Wang Hao, feeling that this Wang Hao was actually a Divine General. Smiling helplessly, Qingyun Long looked at Hua Ji, hoping that he would give an order.

    At this time, Hua Ji also had a helpless face as he said to Xia Xuan: "Then let''s treat this as us owing Brother Xia a favor. Goodbye." After he finished speaking, Hua Ji led a group of people and left.

    There was no way for a master to subdue a divine instrument. If Hua Ji wanted to forcibly subdue it, he could only do so with his strength. Therefore, Xia Xuan had saved his life by telling them that the Flame Sun Knife had a master.

    Of course, Hua Ji would not choose to kill his master for the treasure. This Core cave could not withstand their torment, so it was not worth it to perish together for the sake of a divine instrument.

    Chapter 102 - flash lightning (1)

    Xia Xuan and the rest who had obtained the Flame Sun Knife returned to the surface happily. However, those fellows who had worked together to clear the thunder wall did not dare to attack Xia Xuan and the others again, as there were nearly a hundred Xuanhuang Rankers who had fainted on the ground. How could they muster up the courage to fight with Xia Xuan and the others for the treasures?

    Xia Xuan was currently smiling. He had reaped a lot of rewards this time, not mentioning the two treasures he had obtained on the third floor, even the equal share of the Mysterious Spirit Pill had made him a rich man. The feeling of being rich was still very good.

    The group of eleven walked out of canyon in front of everyone''s eyes. Although they were surrounded by people, no one dared to step forward to stop them.

    In the past, there were always many hunters hiding in the mountains, but not only did the hunters not dare to hide among them, even the other Participant s could only circle around them.

    BOOM! A silver thunder snake struck the Thousand Cloud Mountain and a blinding light lit up the entire area ten thousand miles in radius.

    "Sigh, what''s going on with this Thousand Cloud Mountain? Why has lightning been falling for the past month?" A Participant who was passing by looked at the Thousand Cloud Mountain that was constantly being struck by lightning and could not help but exclaim.

    "Who cares? Either the spirit beast has gone crazy, or a major power is cultivating. None of this is something we can do." Another Participant waved his hand and left with a sigh.

    On top of the Ten Thousand Cloud Mountain, Wang Hao and the rest sat around a stone table. On the stone table, there were a few pots of hot tea and holding onto a teacup, Wang Hao lightly sipped on his tea, completely unresponsive to the countless of lightning bolts.

    As he looked at the sky, he could vaguely see a silver figure flashing in the sky. The figure was extremely fast, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west.

    "Is this guy crazy? He''s been practicing this technique for a month." Wang Hao looked at the figure that was constantly flashing everywhere, and could not help but scold with a smile.

    In the sky, Xia Xuan''s skin was completely silver. The spiritual energy s circulated in his body along a unique route, and the thunder snake in the clouds would strike at his body every single time. Afterwards, a large amount of lightning energy would enter his body.

    Floating in the air, Xia Xuan''s binocular closed its eyes, and a silver colored thunder snake hacked down on its body. When the thunder snake scattered, there were no injuries on its body, but from time to time, tiny electric snakes would shoot out, shocking everyone.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan opened his eyes, a silver light shooting out, in the next moment he was hundreds of meters away in the sky.

    He looked at the place where he had been standing and saw an afterimage slowly disappearing. After estimating the distance he had moved, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but crease his eyebrows and mutter under his breath, "It''s not fast enough."

    If these words were heard by the other Participant s, they would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood, and instantly leapt several hundred meters forward, moreover they had only cultivated for a month, and were still dissatisfied, how could those people who had been bitterly cultivating continue to live?

    "Kid, you have four levels of flash lightning. You have already reached the second level, so you can''t be considered slow. If the requirements are too high, you''ll tire yourself out." Deicide''s voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    During this month, the soul of the Deicide had witnessed her own reincarnation''s perseverance, and after a month of not eating or drinking, he had to undergo the baptism of ten thousand lightning strikes every day. From the beginning, she screamed miserably in pain from being struck by lightning until now without feeling anything, and even the soul of the Deicide couldn''t help but nod her head.

    "It''s not enough yet, I don''t want to rely on the divine instrument, nor do I want to rely on it. I want to use my own strength to defeat all the enemies, this is the true training." Xia Xuan clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with determination. He thirsted for power, thirsting for power, but he did not want to rely on his own strength to obtain it through his previous life.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan held onto the spiritual energy tightly and started rolling. The thunder snake was rolling around inside his body, releasing a rumbling sound.

    "Yo, so ruthless." Wu Zhi couldn''t help but exclaim when he saw the frantically rolling thundercloud.

    "What''s wrong?" Jiao Ling also saw the frantically rolling thundercloud, and when he felt that the thundercloud contained a very huge amount of energy, he could not help but be shocked, and anxiously asked Wu Zhi.

    Chapter 103 - flash lightning (2)

    "This guy used the Lightning Summoning Art to attract lightning. Just now, he used the full power of the Lightning Summoning Art, preparing to receive the baptism of lightning. I suggest that you use the spiritual energy to cover your ears." Wu Zhi said with a faint smile. He knew that with Deicide''s perseverance, a mere baptism by ten thousand lightning wouldn''t be life-threatening.

    Although Wu Zhi knew that Xia Xuan was not in danger, Jiao Ling did not think so. Right now, she still remembered how miserable Xia Xuan was crying out for help when he was first struck by lightning. At that time, her heart was already in her throat, if not for Wang Hao and the rest stopping his, she would have already flown up to the sky.

    "Don''t worry, it won''t be dangerous. If a dignified Deicide were to be struck to death by lightning, wouldn''t it become a huge joke?" Wu Zhi patted Jiao Ling''s shoulder, not showing any signs of worry for Xia Xuan at all.

    BOOM! The loud noise scared Jiao Ling so much that his face turned pale for a second. The thundercloud in the sky suddenly stopped, hundreds of thunder snake peeked their heads out, and every single one of them were spitting out their tongues, their cold snake eyes staring straight at Xia Xuan. These thunder snake actually already possessed intelligence.

    Tens of thousands of thunder snake were densely packed in the air. Every single one of them surrounded Xia Xuan and constantly sized him up, but they did not hack at him for a long time.

    Suddenly, ten thousand thunderbolts rushed out at the same time towards Xia Xuan. A total of ten thousand thunder snake s struck Xia Xuan''s body at the same time, and released a strong and glaring light, causing the remaining shockwaves from the spiritual energy to spread out and collapse the entire mountain of trees. The stone table had already been shattered into pieces, and Wang Hao and the rest had only been blown away by the spiritual energy because they had grabbed onto the ground.

    It came from the depths of the soul, and the scream reached the hearts of every single person. Even if they were unable to see the Xia Xuan in the strong light, they could still imagine Xia Xuan''s painful expression right now.

    Jiao Ling''s heart was already jumping wildly in his chest. Due to the stress of his nails digging into his palm, even if his flesh was torn apart, he would still not feel it. Although she was not the one undergoing the baptism of lightning, he felt a sharp pain in his heart for some reason. It was not a physical pain, but a pain that came from his heart.

    Xia Xuan''s voice was getting softer and softer. He was already in so much pain that he was numb, and the current him was no longer in pain. At this moment, he was in the greatest danger, because even he himself did not know when he might be struck to death by ten thousand lightning bolts.

    Wu Zhi also stared at the sky, his heart was also currently not at ease. Although it was impossible for Deicide to be struck to death by lightning, Xia Xuan was just a remnant of his soul that had reincarnated, and was not like the past. The current Deicide might not even be able to endure the baptism of ten thousand bolts of lightning, it all depended on his perseverance.

    "You have to endure it." Wu Zhi looked up at the sky and unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, chanting in his heart.

    After about six hours, the ten thousand snakes finally dispersed. The Thousand Cloud Mountain was surprisingly cloudless. The sunlight shone down without any obstruction, illuminating the skinny figure in the sky.

    "Phew." Xia Xuan looked at the palm that had thunder snake s shuttling through it. Even though his body was completely numb, he could still feel a very powerful strength in his body.

    "Swift Thunder." Two words came out of Xia Xuan''s mouth, and then he appeared on the ground, with countless afterimages that lingered in the air for a long time. It had to be said that Xia Xuan was at a thousand meters high in the air, and had instantly crossed a thousand meters.

    As soon as he landed, Xia Xuan almost fell to the ground due to the numbness in his body. Jiao Ling rushed forward to support Xia Xuan but when her hands grabbed onto Xia Xuan, countless tiny thunder snake s came out, the electric shock making her hands numb. If he did not use the spiritual energy s to protect her hands in time, he would have been injured by the electric current.

    "Are you alright?" Xia Xuan looked at Jiao Ling''s numb hands and asked with concern.

    "I''m fine." Jiao Ling shook her head and continued to support Xia Xuan.

    "I''ve mastered the third stage of flash lightning." Xia Xuan smiled to everyone and said.

    This was also the reason why Xia Xuan chose to use the flash lightning. If he did not use divine instrument s or soul s, then he would simply not be able to dodge the attacks of the strong warriors, but with the flash lightning, everything would be different.

    Chapter 104 - Beast Upheaval (1)

    It had to be said that the Myriad Spirit Realm was rather large. Xia Xuan and the rest had already walked inside it for three days, yet they still had not reached their destination.

    The Hundred Heroes Competition was divided into three major stages. One had to face the perils of being surrounded by powerful practitioners from all sides when entering the Myriad Spirit Realm, the quiet cultivation period when cultivating in the Myriad Spirit Realm, and the final victory period when all the Participant were gathered in the Myriad Spirit Mountain.

    It had already been one and a half months since they entered the Myriad Spirit Realm. Xia Xuan and the rest had improved greatly through their own efforts, now that Xia Xuan was Profound King of the Fourth Rank, Wang Hao, Wu Zhi and Shangguan Zelong were all at the peak of the ninth stage, Su Bing, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were all at the eighth stage, while Jiao Ling had already broken through half a step.

    Seeing that it was almost time for the final battle, Xia Xuan and the rest of the seven major clans started to rush to the Thousand Spirit Mountain. Xia Xuan''s performance in the Thousand Spirit Mountain was completely demonstrated, and would be secretly observed by the people from the three great clans. After three days of travel, Xia Xuan''s group was not far from the Ten Thousand Spirit Mountain, they had already arrived at a place called the Hundred Beasts District.

    "It''s getting late, why don''t we rest here?" Xia Xuan said as he glanced at the gradually darkening sky.

    "Why don''t we hurry on our way?" "Once we pass the Hundred Beast Area, we will be at the Thousand Spirit Mountain. We can go to the Myriad Spirit City at the foot of the mountain to rest. There will be a beast tide every night in the Hundred Beast District." Wu Zhi reminded them. The reason why the Hundred Beast Area was called the Hundred Beast Area was because a beast tide would appear every night. Under the situation of ten thousand beasts galloping about, even Xuanhuang experts found it difficult to protect themselves.

    "I just want to find the beast tide, right? spirit beast in the Myriad Spirit Realm are especially strong. I believe their endosperm are not bad as well." said as he rubbed the little Zheng on his body. Xia Xuan''s intention was very clear; he wanted to hunt spirit beast s to obtain endosperm s to increase the little Zheng''s strength.

    "But ˇ­" Wu Zhi wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not manage to say it out loud. The beast tide was not scary, but he was afraid that there were people who had ulterior motives for dodging the beast tide.

    and the rest had already built two simple and crude wooden houses, and now that everyone was seated around a bonfire, they were all silently cooking. Smelling the roasted meat in his hands, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but think of Li Le, if he could eat a mouthful of food made by Li Le, how good would that be!

    "Roar!" Just as Xia Xuan was about to eat a mouthful of roast meat, a loud roar came out, and from the mountain peak far away, a few tens of feet tall giant ape roared towards the sky. Following the roar of the giant ape, countless blood-red eyes appeared beside it, and countless powerful auras emitted out vaguely from them, the beast tide was coming.

    "It''s finally here." Xia Xuan finished the roast meat in his hand in two or three bites, stood up, and wiped the grease off the corners of his mouth. Countless spiritual energy began to gush out of his body, condensing into a blood colored armor on his body.

    There were already many Participant in the Hundred Beast Area. These Participant were all here to challenge the beast tide, but there was simply no one who would dare to release their aura to such an extent like Xia Xuan.

    His blood-red eyes were looking towards Xia Xuan, waves after waves of pressure pressing down on him. Although Xia Xuan did not feel anything, the four people beside him already had a feeling that they were unable to breathe.

    "Your imposing manner is quite good." Xia Xuan sighed with emotion, and then, a huge shadow over three hundred meters long rose from behind him. The huge shadow gave off the aura of a king among soldiers, and actually suppressed the aura of the beast tide by a bit.

    "Roar!" The giant ape at the top of the mountain bellowed angrily, both hands fiercely pounding at its chest. Countless blood-colored eyes rushed towards Xia Xuan as though they had received an order, bringing with them rumbling sounds.

    When those countless blood-colored eyes came closer, they could see clearly that behind every pair of bloodshot eyes, there was a huge body, and those huge spirit beast were rushing towards Xia Xuan one after another.

    "Squeak." The flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hands creaked as it fiercely stomped on the ground. Not only was it not afraid of the beast tide, it even charged towards it. The Soldier King''s Soul wasn''t following Xia Xuan. Although Wang Hao and the other three weren''t afraid of the beast tide, none of them were protecting Jiao Ling and the other three.

    Chapter 105 - Beast Upheaval (2)

    At this time, some of the people close to the beast tide had already started their battle with the beast tide, but many of the Mystical King s were directly submerged in the beast tide. Some of the stronger Xuanhuang experts were barely able to hold on for a while, but facing the endless beast tide, even those Xuanhuang experts found it hard to protect themselves. Regarding the beast tide, many people who wanted to challenge it still obediently chose to retreat.

    While many people were struggling to resist the beast tide, a shooting star suddenly rushed over. Without the slightest hesitation, it plunged into the beast tide.

    "Tch, where did this little brat come from? He dares to challenge a beast tide with just his Profound King of the Fourth Rank, he really doesn''t know his place." A Xuanhuang expert who was defending against the beast tide could not help but mock Xia Xuan when she saw him dive into the beast.

    Just when everyone thought that Xia Xuan had already been engulfed by the beast tide, a blood-colored spiritual energy shot up into the sky.

    Xia Xuan''s body of blood colored spiritual energy soared into the sky, the flamethrower in his hands formed many spear tips, and the spirit beast s were like tofu in front of the flamethrower, with a slash of his spear, it left a fatal wound.

    Many people were stupefied by what they saw. A mere Profound King of the Fourth Rank had survived the beast tide, and was even wantonly slaughtering people. Was this kind of strength really something that Profound King of the Fourth Rank should have?

    Although Xia Xuan''s aura was astonishing, there were still some details in the darkness that no one noticed. Xia Xuan''s every shot had pierced into the heart of the spirit beast, and when the flamethrower had pulled the spear out, there was already a large amount of blood on the spear. The blood looked no different from normal blood, but there was a hidden power within it.

    Every time the flamethrower was drenched in blood, that blood essence would quietly fuse into the spear, as if it had been absorbed by something. At the same time, every single spirit beast''s corpse, before being thrown aside, would have a small ball in their hands. With a flash, the small ball would be stored in Xia Xuan''s storage ring.

    This was the first time it had appeared in all of the Hundred Heroes Competition. Every time, there would be many Participant challenging the beast tide in the Hundred Heroes Competition, but it could be said that no one had ever thought of defeating the beast tide.

    "Roar", as if it felt that Xia Xuan''s actions were dangerous, the giant ape at the top of the mountain roared towards the sky. It grabbed one of the spirit beast beside it and threw it directly at Xia Xuan.

    The pike in his hand fiercely slashed at the sky, coincidentally slicing the spirit beast that was thrown at him into two. Looking at the giant ape at the top of the mountain, Xia Xuan said: "I had originally wanted you to live a little longer, but since you''re courting death, don''t blame me for it."

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan immediately rushed towards the giant ape, and all the spirit beast he passed by turned into corpses, as if Xia Xuan had brought along a line of blood.

    That giant ape was a beast king of the Hundred Beast District and its strength had already reached the first stage of Profound Emperor. Normally, the Participant would go challenge the beast tide, but once they attacked, no matter who it was, they would definitely retreat.

    Xia Xuan''s speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the giant ape and pointed at it.

    giant ape s were not idiots either. spirit beast s who had cultivated to the Profound Emperor level had intelligence that was not weaker than Homo sapiens s. With a flash of its huge body, it nimbly dodged Xia Xuan''s flamethrower s, raised its huge fist high and was about to smash towards Xia Xuan.

    "Boom!" The huge fist smashed down, but it did not hit Xia Xuan, only seeing an afterimage slowly dissipating while Xia Xuan appeared behind the giant ape. The flamethrower in his hand fiercely stabbed down, directly piercing the giant ape''s head through. Now that he had displayed the might of the flash lightning, when paired with the flash lightning of the flamethrower, he could easily kill a Profound Emperor level spirit beast in an instant.

    He took out the flamethrower s and saw that the body of the spear was covered with blood. The blood slowly fused into the spear and after a while, it was absorbed.

    Xia Xuan waved his hand, and a fist-sized endosperm slowly floated into his hand.

    Looking at the endosperm in Xia Xuan''s hands, everyone silently swallowed their saliva. The spirit beast s contained a large portion of the spirit beast''s power, they could be used to absorb and cultivate, or they could also be used to refine Pills.

    While everyone was in shock, Xia Xuan actually felt a sense of danger. This sense of danger did not come from the people around him, but instead came from underground.

    "Boom!" A three meter long mouth suddenly burst out from the ground, swallowing Xia Xuan whole. The sudden mouth caused everyone to be stunned.

    Chapter 106 - Kun Peng (1)

    This was a dark world. The ground was very soft, and the warmth of the wind was blowing past his body.

    As the reincarnation of a Deicide, it could be said that he could easily ignite a ball of flames.

    Under the shine of the light, Xia Xuan could clearly see his surroundings. He was surrounded by walls of flesh, and below his feet was stomach acid.

    "I didn''t expect there to be a Beast Lord here." Xia Xuan quietly looked around and could not help but exclaim.

    spirit beast also had an obvious system. There were ordinary spirit beast and beast kings in a small region, and all normal spirit beast were afraid of beast kings. Beast kings were not the strongest spirit beast, and the strongest in a large region formed by several small regions were known as beast lords.

    "Is this kid interested?" The voice of the Deicide resounded in Xia Xuan''s mind. The strength of a Beast Master was at least at the fifth stage Profound Emperor.

    Of course, only Xia Xuan would dare do that, what Xia Xuan used to wrap around himself was not an ordinary spiritual energy, it was mixed with the killing intent of the Deicide, if it was any other person, they would have already been melted by the acid in their stomach.

    "This time, little Zheng''s rations can be considered complete." Xia Xuan said happily, his body could not help but tremble with excitement.

    "Roar!" From the very beginning, the little Zheng who was lying on Xia Xuan''s back seemed to have understood what Xia Xuan meant, and happily roared.

    "Of course, we can''t let this family live a good life." After saying that, Xia Xuan fiercely grabbed the flamethrower and fiercely stabbed it into the side of the meat wall. Countless amounts of blood essence poured into the flamethrower and the flamethrower had already started to absorb the blood essence.

    In the outside world, no matter if it was a human or a spirit beast, both were trembling in fear. In front of them was a huge whale tens of thousands of feet tall, floating in the air, its two flippers slowly flapping. The terrifying gale destroyed all the trees, and under the gaze of its huge pupils, everyone felt as if they were being stared at by the god of death.

    "This, this is a Kun Peng." Someone recognized the whale and exclaimed loudly. His eyes were filled with despair as he looked at the whale.

    Dragon, Phoenix, and Tiger were the strongest three types of spirit beast, but this did not mean that there were only these three types of spirit beast. After these three types of spirit beast, there were many other types of spirit beast, and Kun Peng was only second to the three races. Legend has it that Kun Peng and HuanKun can also transform into Peng, they have the ability to distort space, and they are extremely strong.

    It was as if the Kun Peng was dissatisfied with someone calling them by their race''s name. Its huge eyes actually flashed with anger, scaring the other spirit beast away.

    "Crap, quickly run!" Seeing that the Kun Peng was angered, someone immediately shouted out. Then, everyone activated their spiritual energy and ran out of the Hundred Beast Area, with Wang Hao and the rest of them still staring at the Kun Peng.

    "Roar!" The Kun Peng roared towards the sky, but the sound was not filled with anger, but pain! That''s right, the Kun Peng was currently wailing.

    Everyone turned around to look and saw that the Kun Peng was flying around in the sky. It kept hitting the mountain with its stomach. Little did she know that Xia Xuan was in the middle of the Kun Peng''s stomach.

    "It''s him." Seeing Kun Peng''s situation, Wang Hao said happily.

    Jiao Ling, who was crying at the side, looked at the Kun Peng in a daze. He was naturally able to tell that the Kun Peng was most likely going to eat something bad like this, and that thing was Xia Xuan.

    "This kid, he''s always making people worry." Wu Zhi scolded, but he had a smile on his face that was hard to hide. At the start, he had thought that Xia Xuan had a slim chance of survival, but when he saw the Kun Peng''s actions, he couldn''t help but be overjoyed. It was the joy of seeing hope again after despair.

    Inside the Kun Peng''s body, Xia Xuan looked at the flamethrower that was continuously absorbing the blood essence and could not help but nod in satisfaction. He muttered: "This Beast Master is at least at the level of Profound Emperor of the seventh rank, judging by its aura, it should be a Kun Peng."

 C107

    Chapter 107 - Kun Peng (2)

    "Wuu." Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, causing Xia Xuan''s clothes to flutter, but did not touch Xia Xuan''s body.

    This was the Kun Peng trying to purge the pests from its body. If it was a normal Mystical King, they would have long been torn into pieces, but Xia Xuan''s killing intent was mixed in the spiritual energy, no one in the entire Mainland could compare to his killing intent. Although it was only a little, it was not something a mere mortal spirit beast could do.

    Ignoring the gale created by the Kun Peng, Xia Xuan used one hand to grab onto the handle of the flamethrower, but he did not pull it out. After determining a direction, he walked in a certain direction.

    At this time, the people in the outside world were all shocked. A terrifying spiritual energy exploded from the Kun Peng''s body, and the spiritual energy soared into the sky. The surrounding tall mountains had been completely destroyed by it, but it did not stop.

    "This boy, what did he feel? Isn''t his reaction a bit too much?" Wang Hao and the others were already shocked, all of their lips were parched, and only now did they realize that this was what a Deicide should do.

    After walking inside the Kun Peng''s stomach for an unknown period of time, Xia Xuan felt that his legs were aching, but luckily he finally reached his destination. What appeared in front of him was a light sphere the size of an adult, the light sphere was already in the shape of a baby, if he wasn''t able to feel that it was a endosperm, Xia Xuan would really think that it was a fetus.

    "It has already begun to take form. It looks like its strength is much stronger than I expected." Looking at the gigantic endosperm, Xia Xuan exclaimed.

    As if she had sensed Xia Xuan''s arrival, a layer of light membrane actually appeared around the endosperm, as if she was trying to protect it.

    Seeing that layer of light membrane, Xia Xuan could not help but laugh, then lightly tapped on the light membrane with both of his fingers, releasing a burst of killing intent that instantly broke the light membrane.

    In the outside world, the Kun Peng s suddenly paled, and then fell to the ground.

    Everyone looked at each other, although they did not understand what was going on, this was an opportunity, such a powerful spirit beast was a treasure all over its body. One figure after another stopped running, staring at the unconscious Kun Peng ruthlessly, and started rushing towards it.

    Seeing that people wanted to kill the Kun Peng, the spirit beast s that were originally hiding began to surge out. Countless spirit beast gathered and looked at the people in an aggressive manner. Although the spirit beast were ruled by the Kun Peng, the Kun Peng were also protecting them.

    "Let''s attack together. This is the chance to save Xia Xuan." At this time, the oldest Shangguan Zelong was the one who had the most say. He quickly said this and followed suit, joining the group of people as they charged towards the beast tide.

    Inside the Kun Peng''s body, Xia Xuan kept the endosperm back into his storage ring, patted his hands, looked at the place that he had gone through a lot, and said: "It''s time to go out."

    Hundreds of Participant charged towards the beast tide, and all the experts present, who weren''t of the Xuanhuang level or above, used 120% of their power under the enticement of the treasures, attempting to push the beast tide back. Amongst them, Wang Hao and the others were the strongest, so six of them were not just for show.

    The smell of blood had already pervaded the entire Hundred Beast Region. This battle could be said to be the most unique battle in all of the previous Hundred Heroes'' Competition.

    Just as everyone was killing until their eyes were red, a huge hole suddenly opened up in the Kun Peng''s stomach. A light and shadow flew out from the Kun Peng''s stomach, attracting everyone''s attention.

    It was a man dressed in plain clothes, with a head of black hair, and a delicate and pretty face. On the man''s back was a small beast of David, and in his hand was a black scale lance.

 C108

    Chapter 108 - Hitting Dogs (1)

    Be it the humans or the spirit beast, everyone looked towards Xia Xuan. It was this Teenage that tortured the Kun Peng to death.

    Looking at the Kun Peng, she could no longer feel its breath. A Beast King had died just like that, and the one who killed him was only Teenage, the Teenage in front of him. Seeing that the Kun Peng had died, the spirit beast s all fled. In the midst of a series of rumbling sounds, there were actually no more spirit beast.

    "Gulp" The voice of the swallowing Saliva resounded, and the gaze he looked at Xia Xuan with was filled with disbelief and fear.

    Xia Xuan did not care about the gazes that were fixated on him, his gaze was focused on the Kun Peng. Although the Kun Peng no longer had the endosperm''s blood and essence, its flesh and bone marrow were still treasures, if the flamethrower devoured them, he believed that he could at least raise his strength a little.

    With that in mind, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand turned into a Small Flood Dragon. The Small Flood Dragon didn''t hesitate at all and directly pounced onto the Kun Peng''s body and started to eat its flesh and blood.

    "What are you doing?" Seeing that the flamethrower had started to devour the Kun Peng, someone immediately said unhappily. Everyone present were all experts and could all see that the flamethrower was just a divine instrument. Everyone present could even think that they could make a ruckus in the stomach of the Kun Peng, so everyone thought that Xia Xuan was only someone who relied on the divine instrument.

    "What do I have to do with you?" Xia Xuan looked at the person who spoke with an ice-cold gaze.

    "We have also contributed to the killing of the Kun Peng. You can''t take it for yourself." That person spoke out righteously. Although Xia Xuan possessed the divine instrument, she was, after all, just a Profound King of the Fourth Rank.

    "What did you do?" Xia Xuan''s voice became even colder. From the start, he fought amidst the beast tide until he killed the Beast King by himself, and in the end, he killed the Kun Peng. He did not see anyone helping him. " "Brat, don''t be too arrogant. We have so many people here, don''t tell me you ˇ­" Before that person could finish speaking, a figure had already appeared behind him. An ice-cold palm was gently pinching his neck, and he could clearly feel that there was a spiritual energy gathering in that ice-cold palm.

    All of the people present were not weak, but no one dared to say that they had completely seen Xia Xuan''s movements. Even though this Xia Xuan had only used Profound King of the Fourth Rank, his speed was still way too fast.

    "What did you say?" Xia Xuan''s voice was ice-cold in the man''s heart.

    "Roar!" The little Zheng who was lying on Xia Xuan''s back suddenly roared out, and then, a series of rumbling sounds rang. The spirit beast that had scattered away ran back, the little Zheng was actually commanding tens of thousands of beasts, such an unremarkable beast actually had such strength.

    Tens of thousands of spirit beast surrounded them, and every single one of them looked towards the people who were preparing to fight with Xia Xuan.

    Facing the tens of thousands of spirit beast, everyone felt fear in their hearts. spirit beast without a leader was just a group of wild beasts, but once they had a leader, they would have a goal, and tens of thousands of spirit beast would be able to instantly stomp a Mysterious Sect Ranker into meat paste.

    "I''ll give you five seconds, f * ck off." Xia Xuan said coldly, looking at everyone without any emotion in his eyes.

    The person that was grabbed by Xia Xuan fell to the ground with a thump. After that, he crawled up with his hands and legs on the ground, as if he was fleeing for his life.

    At the moment, only Wang Hao and the rest were present. Seeing Xia Xuan who had scared everyone away, Wang Hao and the others could not help but shake their heads.

    The sun hung high in the sky, shining its warm rays on the earth. As Xia Xuan and the rest walked along the road, their lips were already dry and cracked.

    Not far away, a city had appeared. Behind the city was a mountain. The mountain was not very tall, but it gave people a boundless feeling.

    The Myriad Spirit Mountain was the center of the Myriad Spirit Mountain, and the final battle of the Hundred Heroes Competition would be held in the Myriad Spirit Mountain, thus, there were four cities in the four directions of the Myriad Spirit Mountain, named after the four elephants, and the city that appeared in front of Xia Xuan and the rest was the Vermillion Bird City.

 C109

    Chapter 109 - Hitting Dogs (2)

    "Legend has it that the Vermilion Bird City is filled with high temperatures all year round, I can tell with a single look." Looking at the extremely hot and twisted Vermilion Bird City, Xia Xuan could not help but sigh with emotion. Then, he continued to walk towards the city.

    At this time, the Vermillion Bird Sect only had two gatekeeper s. For the surrounding cities, most of them preferred Azure Dragon City surrounded by green forests and Black Tortoise City built on green water.

    Seeing that someone had arrived, the two sleepy city guards immediately perked up. Being sent to guard the city in this kind of hot weather, they who were already frustrated to the point that they didn''t want anyone to come, and in this kind of situation, their first reaction when seeing Xia Xuan''s group was to find some fun.

    "Someone''s coming. Cheer up." A gatekeeper said to another person who was still drowsy.

    Not long later, Xia Xuan and the others arrived at the city gate. Just as they were about to enter the city, the pike in the hands of the two Soldiers s blocked the path in front of Xia Xuan, and they said in unison: "The fee to enter the city is five hundred gold coins per person."

    "F * ck off." Xia Xuan did not care about these two people, the four cities were all constructed by the three major sects and there was no setting of one having to pay to enter the city, so the two were obviously here to cause trouble.

    Seeing Xia Xuan being so arrogant, the two of them who were already agitated immediately became angry, releasing the Qi of a sixth stage Xuanhuang, and said angrily: "Insolent bastard, this place has already been occupied by my Phoenix Cry Nation, scram if you don''t pay up, otherwise I will kill you."

    Hearing the two of them mention Phoenix Cry Nation, Xia Xuan could not help but find it funny, and immediately asked: "Do you know of Hua Ji?" At the same time, a mental message was hiddenly sent towards the city.

    Commander Hua Ji is the leader of my Phoenix Cry Country. There''s a high chance that you''re trying to use Hua Ji''s name to scare us. This isn''t the first time something like this has happened. With that, the man walked over to Xia Xuan and pushed at Xia Xuan''s shoulder with one hand, but when he pushed forcefully, Xia Xuan did not move at all. Instead, he was sent flying by a huge force, and landed heavily on the ground in the end.

    The Book of Blood Light was already floating beside Xia Xuan, and under the light of the book, Xia Xuan''s Qi had actually reached the level of a first grade Profound Emperor. Looking at the other shocked gatekeeper, Xia Zhi curled his lips and said: "Bastards look down on lowly things." With that, the book flew back into Xia Xuan''s body.

    The gatekeeper who was sent flying did not feel the Qi that erupted from Xia Xuan, and when he crawled on the ground, he immediately walked towards Xia Xuan and scolded: "Behind me is Phoenix Cry Nation, you trash actually dared to hit me, prepare to die." With that, the pike in his hand pierced towards Xia Xuan, causing him to become angry from the embarrassment.

    Xia Xuan did not show any signs of resisting. With his hands behind his back, he allowed the pike to stab at him.

    "Ping." A metal clanging sound came out, the longsword s were sent flying, a slim figure appeared beside Xia Xuan. Looking over, he realized that the figure was Hua Tianming, who had blocked the Steel Lion Steel Tiger with Hua Ji.

    Seeing Hua Tianming, the gatekeeper who was so embarrassed that he turned angry immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head and respectfully said: "Greetings, Vice Commander Hua."

    The number of people that could participate in the Hundred Heroes Competition varied. A super empire like Phoenix Cry Nation, which was ranked second, could compete in this competition with thousands of people. And with so many people, it was impossible for them to be without a leader, thus they all followed the commander''s commands. Hua Ji was the commander of Phoenix Cry Nation, and Hua Tianming was the vice-commander.

    "Idiot, these people are the honored guests of our Phoenix Cry. You actually dare to deliberately make things difficult for us. I think you all have had enough of living." The longsword in Hua Tianming''s hand pointed directly at the gatekeeper''s human face gate, his voice containing an extra tinge of killing intent.

    "Spare me! I have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai. Please spare me this time!" The gatekeeper quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

    "Humph!" Hua Tianming snorted coldly, then looked towards Xia Xuan and said, "I shall let Brother Xia handle this person as he pleases."

    "If you bring out people from Phoenix Cry Nation, punish them yourself. I am only here to participate in the gathering." With that, Xia Xuan brought Wang Hao and the rest directly into the city, no longer paying attention to the gatekeeper.

    "The position will be reduced by three levels and you will receive a hundred lashes." Hua Tianming understood what Xia Xuan meant, and immediately chased after him after he said it.

    "Hai." The two gatekeepers looked at each other and then sighed with sorrow. Originally, they only wanted to have some fun, but they didn''t expect to end up like this. Now, they were truly dumb and could not say anything anymore.

    Chapter 110 - Gatherings (1)

    Walking in the Vermillion Bird City, he didn''t see anyone coming and going, but that didn''t mean that there weren''t any people in the city. He could vaguely feel that there were many powerful presences in the guest rooms around him.

    "It''s said that Phoenix Cry Nation is extremely proficient in controlling the power of the Vermillion Bird. It seems like it''s true." Xia Xuan no longer looked at his surroundings, and spoke to Hua Tianming who was rushing over from behind him.

    Hua Tianming cupped his hands towards Xia Xuan and said: "It''s only the Empire''s famous cultivation technique that requires the power of the Vermillion Bird to circulate."

    Xia Xuan smiled, and said nothing more, continuing to walk forward.

    After a while, Xia Xuan and the others followed Hua Tianming to the center of the Vermilion Bird City. This was a mansion, all the way Xia Xuan had a rough understanding of the city''s structure, all the buildings were built around the mansion, and just by looking at the spiritual energy in the air, he knew that this city was actually a formation.

    "My brother has been waiting inside for a long time." Hua Tianming made a gesture of invitation and said respectfully.

    Xia Xuan did not hold back, he immediately walked into the house, this was a world where the strong were revered, for example, if Xia Xuan did not have extraordinary strength, he would not receive such treatment, this was what he deserved.

    Upon entering the mansion, one would be able to see an open doors to a hall. There were a few experts seated in the hall, and many of them were familiar with one another. They were Hua Ji, Zhentian Hua and Qingyun Long.

    Entering the great hall, Xia Xuan cupped his hands and smiled at everyone seated, then found an empty seat to sit on.

    "Since everyone''s here, let''s get down to business." Seeing Xia Xuan had taken his seat, Hua Ji spoke.

    At this time, Xia Xuan had the urge to find a hole to hide in. It felt like everyone was waiting for him.

    "Everyone knows, although the Hundred Heroes Competition is a battle between 100 empires, the empires that are ranked in the top 10 during the decisive stage are basically the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom s. Among them, the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is the most powerful and our goal is to help Brother Zhentian and Brother Long Baitian." Hua Ji stood up and said solemnly to everyone present.

    Xia Xuan came to the Vermillion Bird City because he had long known about the Hundred Heroes Competition. This gathering was held every single time, so Xia Xuan believed that with his strength, he had the qualifications to participate.

    "To be honest, these dozens of great competitions have already been held many times. However, in the end, we have never won the alliance. I beg of you, please excuse me. We will no longer accompany you." A tall and strong man cupped his hands towards Hua Ji and Zhentian, and then prepared to leave the great hall.

    BOOM! The Participant s in the past Hundred Heroes Competition would be split into two teams, the stronger team would always be able to defeat everyone, while the weaker team would be mercilessly eliminated, and unfortunately, he belonged to the weaker team.

    "Halt." Just as the tall and strong man was about to walk out of the great hall, a slightly angry shout rang out, and countless gazes turned towards Xia Xuan. Everyone was curious as to what this Teenage, who was only at the Profound King of the Fourth Rank realm, was about to do.

    Xia Xuan slowly stood up. The binocular was slightly angry as it stared at tall and strong man and said: "You are not cooperating.

    "There''s no need for you to care. It''s merely a Profound King of the Fourth Rank. If it wasn''t for Brother Hua Ji''s face, I would have personally thrown you out long ago." The man was obviously not someone to be trifled with. Seeing Xia Xuan''s attitude, he immediately shouted out angrily, looking at Xia Xuan''s imposing manner, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.

    was also angered by the man''s words. Deicide had fallen, but today it was just a Profound King of the Fourth Rank.

    The spiritual energy gathered in Xia Xuan''s palm, formed a blade shape in Xia Xuan''s hand, and directly thrusted at the man.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan''s speed was actually very slow, and in the man''s eyes, this sort of attack was like playing house. The big hand directly reached towards Xia Xuan''s palm.

    Just as the man was about to grab onto Xia Xuan''s palm, Xia Xuan''s palm strangely twisted a little, dodging the man''s palm before he could even see it clearly.

    The man was extremely shocked by Xia Xuan''s technique. Although he had only grabbed casually, but Xia Xuan had dodged way too easily.

    The man''s other hand suddenly grabbed towards Xia Xuan''s palm. In an instant, he had grabbed Xia Xuan''s arm, but he felt that he wasn''t grabbing onto one arm, but rather a handful of jumping candy.

 C111

    Chapter 111 - Gatherings (2)

    Xia Xuan''s arm trembled thousands of times in an instant, directly knocking the man''s big hand away. This was the most commonly used move in the Deicide, and was not any martial art. It was a move that was completely comprehended during countless battles, and no matter what one was caught in, they would be able to use this move to quickly break free.

    After shaking the man''s hand away, Xia Xuan''s palm landed on the man''s chest. The spiritual energy rushed out and directly sent the man flying a few hundred meters.

    "You''re still too inexperienced to fight me." Xia Xuan looked at the man on the ground coldly, and said without any emotion: "Scram."

    The man crawled up from the ground and glared at Xia Xuan. When he was about to attack Xia Xuan, he saw Hua Ji''s gloomy eyes.

    "Remember this." The man threw down those harsh words before turning around and walking out of the manor.

    "Is there anyone else who wants to quit?" Xia Xuan looked coldly at the other people present, but no one replied him. That man from Yan Ji Country was a Grade Nine Mysterious Sect, and even that kind of expert was defeated by Xia Xuan''s hands. How could anyone else have the courage to provoke this evil star?

    Seeing that no one replied, Xia Xuan returned to his seat and did not speak any further. Right at this moment, Zhentian Hua threw a grateful gaze towards Xia Xuan. To be able to stand up for him at this moment, Zhentian already owed Xia Xuan a favor.

    The gathering ended very quickly, and because Xia Xuan had made his move, no one left during the journey. On the other hand, Hua Ji announced his dissolution after a simple discussion about tactics.

    Late at night, in a courtyard, the sounds of wooden stakes being struck continuously rang out. Zhentian Hua was constantly striking wooden stakes, and every single one of them was broken by his fist. Dozens of wooden stakes were broken in a moment.

    "Is Brother Tian Hua exercising or venting his anger in the dead of night?" Xia Xuan''s voice suddenly came out, in his hand was a jug of wine and a little Zheng lying on the roof, his face already drunk.

    He sat on the roof and looked at the full moon, then couldn''t help but exclaim: "How could I be angry? I can only blame myself for being inferior to others, I don''t have enough strength to shut everyone up."

    Xia Xuan smiled, looked at the moon, and said with a smile: "After venting your anger, is there only sadness left?"

    "Hur hur, whatever you say." Zhentian Hua smiled helplessly as he replied.

    A jug of wine was pushed in front of Zhentian. Xia Xuan said: "Drink a bit?"

    Zhentian Hua looked at the wine pot and then looked at Xia Xuan''s drunk face. After a long while, he acted as if he had the courage to snatch the wine pot and started gulping down the wine.

    Not long after, Zhentian''s face became red, and he threw the jug of wine back to Xia Xuan. However, Xia Xuan, who was holding the jug of wine, twitched his face, and actually drank the remaining half of the jug of wine in one gulp.

    "You brat ˇ­" Xia Xuan suddenly had the urge to curse, he could not get any wine at all in the Myriad Spirit Realm, as this jug of wine had been in his possession for a long time. He did not expect Zhen Tianhua to drink it all in one gulp, but seeing that he was drunk, Xia Xuan could not say anything.

    Suddenly, Zhentian started to sob softly, a man crying in front of Xia Xuan, it was probably the only time he could cry in this deep night.

    "Why? I''ve already worked hard, but I still can''t beat Long Baitian. If I were a little stronger, then today''s matter wouldn''t have happened. Why am I so useless?" Zhentian was already sobbing.

    Looking at Zhentian who was crying, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a little sour in his heart. There was no man who was willing to lower himself to a human, especially Zhentian who was born in the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, the pressure on him was incomparably huge.

    Xia Xuan patted Zhentian''s back, and said boldly: "It''s not a big deal, isn''t it just a Long Baitian, I''ll help you defeat him."

    Chapter 112 - Goodbye Old Friends (1)

    On the second day, Xia Xuan woke up early. Today was a special day, and the decisive battle was about to begin.

    Today, Xia Xuan finally experienced what kind of advantage the top ranked empire had. Today, no one cultivated, and when people walked out of their houses, they displayed a sea of people, all of them were Xuanhuang ranked experts. One had to know that this was the least populated Vermillion Bird City. If all four cities were gathered here, what would it be like?

    "Dong!" Just as Xia Xuan was meditating, a bell sound came from the top of the mountain. Then, the spiritual energy s in the air descended and enveloped the Thousand Spirit Mountain. Xia Xuan''s guess was right, this city was actually an array. light shield created by this array would not be able to leave, right?

    "To let the Participant enter the Myriad Spirit Mountain, the decisive battle shall begin." A vigorous and aged voice echoed throughout Myriad Spirit Mountain. Whether it was in Four Divisions City or far away, the voice could be clearly heard.

    The moment the voice sounded, countless of people''s blood started to boil, as countless Participant shot into the sky, their target aimed straight at the top of Myriad Spirit Mountain.

    Looking at the Myriad Spirit Mountain shrouded in light, the three Sickle Kings could not help but sigh with emotion. As hunters, they had always wanted to live, but they had never thought that they would have the chance to enter the Myriad Spirit Mountain.

    "Let''s go as well." Xia Xuan said as he activated the spiritual energy, preparing to fly up to the sky.

    "Wait a moment." At this moment, a voice rang out. Sickle Three seemed to be hesitating to say something, but they didn''t know what to say.

    "What''s wrong?" Xia Xuan spoke first.

    "Big brother, the three of us don''t want to go. If we enter the Myriad Spirit Mountain, we won''t be able to come out. After Mystical King like us enter, we''ll only die next time." In the end, Sickle gritted his teeth, his voice filled with unwillingness.

    Xia Xuan frowned, it was not easy to get here, it would be too much of a pity if he abandoned them now, so he asked immediately: "To be honest, do you guys want to go?"

    The three of them were startled, as they didn''t understand why Xia Xuan would ask that. They lowered their heads and replied: "Of course I want to, but it''s a pity that we don''t have that kind of strength."

    "Alright." Xia Xuan responded as the book appeared in his hands. Three streaks of blood shot out from the book, and when the three streaks of light reached Sickle Three, their Qi instantly increased to that of a sixth stage Xuanhuang.

    "Since I have brought you here, I will not give up on you. The power of these three Deicide s can allow you to maintain your current strength throughout the decisive battle." With that, Xia Xuan kept the book and turned to fly back to the Thousand Spirit Mountain.

    "Big brother, we will be sure to follow through with whatever you say from now on." The three of them fell to one knee.

    Xia Xuan did not reply, the spiritual energy continued to circulate as it flew towards the Thousand Spirit Mountain.

    Because the spiritual energy in the Myriad Spirit Realm were too dense, they could not fly very high. When they reached the foot of the mountain, there were already many people who had arrived there first.

    At this moment, everyone was vigilantly looking at the people around them. They might be able to maintain a bit of peace in the Four Symbols City, but it was different here.

    No one dared to make a move first. If a war broke out, things would get out of hand. Moreover, no one knew if the enemy had allied themselves with the other empires.

    "Follow the original plan." Xia Xuan observed his surroundings, and after confirming that there were no special circumstances, he went back into the forest.

    No matter what method was used, as long as one was able to reach their goal, they could become one of the first batch of disciples to enter the three great sects. There were only a hundred people in the first batch, and all of them could become official disciples. They only had one goal, and that was to stand at the peak of the mountain.

    They did not need to face any enemies, as long as they walked on those empty paths, they would try their best to avoid people. Hua Ji seemed to have treated Xia Xuan as his secret Weapons.

    "Swish, swish." A few figures shuttled through the forest. Along the way, Xia Xuan had already found no less than ten corpses. These people were all geniuses of the empire when they were alive, but they had all died here without a burial ground.

 C113

    Chapter 113 - Goodbye Old Friends (2)

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan who was at the front stopped, he squatted on the tree and looked around vigilantly, he could smell a faint scent of blood, this scent of blood, could only be smelt by Deicide who had killed countless people. In this quiet forest, there was a trace of such a faint smell of blood. It was definitely abnormal.

    "I wonder which country''s brother is lying in ambush here? I believe one of you must have been injured. We don''t want to get into trouble here, okay?" Xia Xuan said to the surroundings. Regardless of whether the other party was strong or weak, he did not wish to fight him. There was still a group of strong enemies waiting for them at the top of the mountain. There was no need to waste any strength here.

    There was no response, and some kind of attack would appear tomorrow as if it silently agreed with Xia Xuan''s words.

    Seeing that, Xia Xuan did not hesitate, he fiercely stepped on the tree branch and continued to rush forward like a black shadow.

    "Haha, I''ve finally found you two." Not long after Xia Xuan and the others left, a seven foot long brawny man flew rapidly through the forest. spiritual energy condensed on his body, and when it landed on the ground, it directly smashed a huge pit into the ground. A man who had been hiding in the grass was also caught. At this time, the man was already covered in blood. brawny man grabbed his neck, and laughed proudly.

    Just at this moment, an ice awl shot towards brawny man, but brawny man was already prepared for it, and with a flash, he dodged the ice awl.

    When the icicle hit the trunk of a large tree, countless cold air rushed in and instantly froze the tree into an ice sculpture.

    Looking towards the direction where the ice awls were shot, brawny man''s sinister face blossomed into a smile. His sinister voice said, "Truly grabbing at a hole in the ground, I never thought that it would all be here."

    As the brawny man''s voice fell, a few figures stood up from some bushes not far away. The one leading them was a man and a woman, and Xia Xuan recognized these two, so they were and Bei Longer from Beiquan Empire.

    "Tu Fa, don''t go too far." Seeing the man being captured by the brawny man, Bei Binger could not help but shout at the brawny man.

    "Isn''t the weak supposed to be slaughtered here? I don''t think I did anything wrong. " The smile on the brawny man''s face that was called Tu Fu became even more sinister. He suddenly exerted some force with his palm, and a "kacha kacha" sound rang out.

    Xia Xuan who was rushing on his way suddenly stopped, his eyes looking at a big tree that had suddenly turned into an ice sculpture, and a fight started behind him.

    Of course, if it was an ordinary battle, Xia Xuan would definitely not care. However, Xia Xuan felt a unique power of ice, the power unique to the Beiquan Empire''s bloodline.

    "What now?" Seeing Xia Xuan stop again, Wang Hao could not help but ask.

    Xia Xuan did not speak, only the Book of Blood Aura and the Zhenghu blood armor appeared in a flash, but the two divine instrument were not floating beside Xia Xuan, but beside him.

    "You guys go to the top of the mountain first, I''m going to take care of some matters." With that, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and disappeared.

    "This ˇ­" Wang Hao and the rest did not know what to say.

    Within the Forest, Tu Fu unleashed the aura of a first stage Profound Emperor. Facing such a strong Ranker, Bei Binger and Bei Longer basically had no way of fighting back.

    "I''ll use the power of my bloodline." Bei Binger shouted loudly, and then, an icy blue spiritual energy gushed out of everyone''s body. Following the gush of the spiritual energy, some tiny ice shards actually appeared in the air.

    "Resisting stubbornly." Tu Fu did not feel shocked at all. Instead, he felt disdain towards Bei Longer and the others'' resistance. In front of a Profound Emperor Ranker, a mere Mystical King''s resistance was completely meaningless.

    Without even seeing the movements, Tu Fu appeared in front of Bei Binger and Bei Longer, and Sha Zi''s fists that were as big as fists struck towards Tu Fu. Bei Longer was startled, his bloodline power circulating frantically as he formed an ice wall in front of him.

    Tu Fu smashed his fists against the ice wall. The ice wall that he thought was extremely weak actually stopped him for a moment. Relying on that moment of gap, Bei Longer dodged the butcher''s attack.

    When the butcher''s fists hit the ground, Bei Longer, who had initially thought that he had successfully dodged, was actually blown away by a huge force.

    After sending Bei Longer flying with one blow, Tu Fu turned to look at Bei Binger, his eyes filled with desire. Tu Fu did not want to attack Bei Longer and the others at first, but he could do nothing about it.

    A big hand directly grabbed at Bei Binger. The Bei Binger at this time simply had not reacted to it, and was powerless to do anything as she looked at Tu Fu''s big hand.

    Tu Fu''s mouth was already drooling, and just as he was about to grab Bei Binger, a black scale lance suddenly flew over.

 C114

    Chapter 114 - Zhan Tu Fu

    Tu Fu was not a fool. He did not dare to relax his guard in the Myriad Spirit Mountain. As soon as the flamethrower pierced him, he dodged it.

    "Who is it? Come out!" Tu Fu was very angry with the person who dared to ambush him. He roared at the surroundings and looked around in an attempt to find the assailant.

    Before Tu Fu could find the person who ambushed him, a whizzing sound came out, and Xia Xuan transformed into a black shadow that rushed towards him. The spiritual energy had already wrapped around his palm and turned into a blade shape.

    The current Xia Xuan did not have the support of the two Great God Equipment, so he had no choice but to sneak attack Tu Fu.

    Tu Fu quickly sensed Xia Xuan''s position, and immediately, the spiritual energy wrapped its fist around Xia Xuan''s.

    BOOM! A huge impact sound came out, and Xia Xuan''s body flew out, only stopping after he had knocked over a big tree.

    "You treacherous villain, how dare you sneak attack me?" Tu Fu glanced at Xia Xuan, and his eyes couldn''t help but water up with anger. The spiritual energy burst out and walked towards Xia Xuan.

    Before he had even taken a few steps, Tu Fu''s footsteps stopped. He saw Xia Xuan, who was kneeling on one knee, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. A smile actually hung on his lips, that smile as if his plan had succeeded.

    His vigilance increased, and Tu Fu could vaguely feel a sense of danger. Just when he didn''t know where this danger came from, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if something was pointing at him.

    Hurriedly turning around to look, Tu Fu immediately widened his eyes. A black scale lance was charging towards him with the tip of the spear pointing straight at his heart, it was only a few meters away.

    At such a short distance, Tu Fu had no time to dodge. All he could do was to side with his body, but this could not completely hide the pike. The flamethrower quickly pierced through and a streak of blood burst out.

    "AHH@@

    Bei Binger had also reacted, when she saw Xia Xuan, she could not help but be overjoyed, especially when she saw that Xia Xuan had actually lost an arm from Tu Fu, she was extremely surprised, she did not expect that Xia Xuan would actually help his at this time.

    "Brat, prepare yourself to receive the wrath of an Emperor powerhouse." Tu Fu looked at Xia Xuan fiercely and said while gnashing his teeth.

    As the spiritual energy was simply too huge, it had already turned into a hurricane, causing all of the surrounding trees to be destroyed, while Bei Binger and the rest used the spiritual energy to grab onto the ground to prevent their bodies from being blown away.

    "Xia Xuan, be careful, this guy is a first class Profound Emperor, he''s very difficult to deal with." Bei Binger bellowed against the wind. Although Xia Xuan had lost an arm to Tu Fu, it was still a sneak attack. It was difficult for Xia Xuan to use his insignificant Profound King of the Fourth Rank as an enemy of Tu Fu, this genuine first stage Profound Emperor.

    "Worry about yourself." Tu Fu shouted loudly, and more and more spiritual energy s surged out from his body. Bei Binger who was in the midst of the gale felt as if countless blades were slashing across her skin.

    "Soldier King, Deicide, help me." Xia Xuan roared loudly in his heart. In this kind of situation, he could already handle a mere Profound King of the Fourth Rank.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan''s body trembled, and his Qi increased sharply, and quickly reached the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect realm. Although Xia Xuan''s current cultivation could not compare to Tu Fu''s, with the battle experience of the flamethrower and Deicide, he could stand together with Tu Fu.

    At this moment, Xia Wei was like a completely different person. In the midst of the hurricane, he didn''t have the slightest bit of fear, instead, he stood up straight. In the wind, he was like the king of the army.

    There was even a faint killing intent in the Soldier King''s Qi, and because of that killing intent, Xia Xuan felt like a Soldier King on a battlefield, even more imposing.

    The flamethrower flew into his hands, and without any hesitation, Xia Xuan fiercely stomped the ground, transforming into a bloody shadow in the wind and directly swept towards Bei Binger.

    Xia Xuan, who had the flamethrower in his hand, easily tore apart a corner of the hurricane and arrived beside Bei Binger after a while. When he saw Bei Binger, he could not help but blush.

    Although the current Bei Binger was injured all over, it was only a few superficial wounds. Not much blood flowed out, and her clothes were torn to shreds by the violent winds.

    Not being able to control himself, Xia Xuan took off his jacket to block Bei Binger, and then carried him over, appearing next to Bei Longer who was 100 meters away in a flash.

    After gently putting Bei Binger down, Xia Xuan said to Bei Longer: "Protect your sister." After she finished speaking, Xia Xuan was about to turn and charge towards the hurricane. However, a jade hand grabbed onto the corner of Xia Xuan''s clothes as he warned, "Be careful."

    Xia Xuan did not reply, he only lightly nodded his head, and then, the spiritual energy began to circulate, charging towards the hurricane. If Tu Fu doesn''t die, then Bei Binger and the rest won''t be able to escape death no matter what, so Tu Fu must die.

    A wave of extreme killing intent surged out from Xia Xuan''s body as the flamethrower in his hand tore apart the hurricane. Xia Xuan only had one goal at the moment, and that was to kill Tu Fu, who was in the center of the hurricane.

    The closer he got to the center of the hurricane, the more resistance Xia Xuan felt. In the end, Xia Xuan''s skin was completely cut, with many wounds on his body, Xia Xuan felt a sharp pain.

    "A mere Mystical King wants to make an enemy of me? Just wait to be torn to shreds by the hurricane, haha." Tu Fu''s complacent laughter came out from the center of the hurricane. Tu Fu was naturally able to tell that the flamethrower was a divine instrument, but he did not believe that Xia Xuan''s insignificant body of Profound King of the Fourth Rank was able to endure the tearing of the hurricane.

    Just as Xia Xuan was covered in wounds due to the hurricane, his skin suddenly turned silver, and countless of tiny electric snakes slithered across Xia Xuan''s body. If it was an ordinary Mystical King, they would definitely not be able to withstand the tornado, but Xia Xuan was different. He had received ten thousand thunder wall and even absorbed the power of Soldier King''s thunder wall, so his physical strength could not even be compared to a few Mysterious Sect Rankers.

    As Xia Xuan''s skin turned silver, he tore apart layers of tornados like a hot knife through butter. Although he was already bloodied when he reached the center of the tornado, what was worth celebrating was that he finally managed to enter.

    Seeing Xia Xuan enter the center of the hurricane, Tu Fu was also extremely shocked. Immediately, a wave of spiritual energy turned into a huge arrow and flew without a bow, shooting towards Xia Xuan with a swoosh.

    Xia Xuan also did not hesitate as he swung out the flamethrower in his hands. When the huge arrow clashed with the flamethrower, the seemingly strong arrow actually exploded in an instant while the flamethrower rushed towards Tu Fu without slowing down in the slightest.

    Seeing that the huge arrow could not be stopped, Tu Fu and the fish congealed spiritual energy, but before he could make a move, a huge shadow appeared faintly behind Xia Xuan. The huge shadow looked exactly the same as Xia Xuan, but the aura it emitted was as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth.

    The moment the giant shadow appeared, an astonishing killing intent rushed towards Tu Fu. The killing intent instantly pierced the center of Tu Fu''s eyebrows. Tu Fu''s movements actually stopped.

    Taking advantage of this opening, Xia Xuan''s figure appeared beside the flamethrower in a flash.

    "Bang!" With a loud sound, the hurricane suddenly dissipated, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand had pierced right through his head, the Profound Emperor expert was killed by Xia Xuan in a few rounds.

    Chapter 115 - Crisis (1)

    Bei Longer and the rest were all dumbstruck. Back then, Xia Xuan still had the strength to fight against him in the Spring Plunder Competition, but now, his strength was too terrifying.

    Putting away the flamethrower, Xia Xuan kneeled on the ground. It had to be said that Tu Fu was very strong, if not for the soul of the Soldier King, he really wouldn''t have been able to beat him.

    Seeing Xia Xuan fall, Bei Longer and the rest hurried forward to take a look, but when they arrived, they realized that Xia Xuan had already crossed his legs and was cultivating.

    In Xia Xuan''s mind, there were currently three figures and one light sphere. Those three figures were naturally the soul of the Soldier King, the soul of the Deicide and Xia Xuan.

    The three of them surrounded the light sphere and sized it up. The light sphere had changed a little today, and there were ten thorny protrusions on its surface. This was the first time the light sphere had changed since Xia Xuan started cultivating this technique.

    Xia Xuan wanted to touch those thorns, but Soldier King stopped him. He cupped his hands towards Xia Xuan and said: "Master, please allow me."

    Xia Xuan nodded his head, and did not say anymore words, he retrieved his palm and hid further away.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was hiding far away, Soldier King swallowed his Saliva, and then used his hand to quickly grab a spike. Just at that moment, all ten of the spikes fell from the light sphere to look at the light spike in his hands. Soldier King was at a loss, even with his experience, Soldier King did not know what it was.

    Xia Xuan picked up a light thorn. Although he was unable to understand the light spike with his Deicide''s knowledge, but he could feel a extremely terrifying energy. This energy was not that of a spiritual energy but it was also similar to that of a spiritual energy.

    After putting the light thorns away, Xia Xuan did not think anymore about it. Right now, he did not have much time to study this thing, he had to hurry to the top of the mountain as soon as possible. There should be a person called Long Baitian waiting for him there.

    After approximately four hours had passed, Xia Xuan''s binocular opened its eyes and slowly withdrew its aura, taking a look at the color of the sky.

    "Roar ~ ~" The little Zheng who had been sitting beside Xia Xuan the whole time realized that Xia Xuan had woken up and immediately roared lightly.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had finished cultivating, Bei Longer and the rest hurried to surround him, only to hear him say something first: "Thank you, Brother Xia, for saving my life."

    Xia Xuan cupped his hands and replied: "My Xing Bei Empire has already allied with Bei Quan, you should be able to help me with that." Xia Xuan still remembered that the Old Man from the holy spring Empire had mentioned the Northern Star Alliance, so he believed that with his identity as the previous Monarch, he would be able to do something like this.

    Looking at the color of the sky, Xia Xuan realized that it was already late, and cupped his hands towards Bei Longer and Bei Longer: "I still have to hurry to the top of the mountain so I''ll be going first."

    "Is Young Master Xia going to deal with the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom''s Long Baitian?" Just as Xia Xuan was about to leave, Bei Binger suddenly spoke out.

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan replied as he looked at Bei Binger. At this time, Bei Binger had already changed her clothes, and when she thought about her beautiful appearance in the spring, he couldn''t help but blush.

    Seeing Xia Xuan suddenly blush, Bei Binger immediately guessed the reason. Her face immediately flushed red, and she couldn''t help but feel slightly angry in her heart, staring fiercely at Xia Xuan, and said: "It''s said that Long Baitian broke through to Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank not long ago, you must be careful."

    Hearing what Bei Binger said, Xia Xuan could not help but take in a breath of cold air. What kind of concept was Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank?

    "Yes." Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not express it on his face. He gently nodded his head and his figure flashed before he disappeared.

    Staring blankly at the place where Xia Xuan had disappeared, a brilliant light flashed across Bei Binger''s eyes.

    "Sis, if you like her, then go after her." Seeing Bei Binger''s situation, Bei Longer could not help but tease him.

    "What are you talking about?" Surprisingly, Bei Binger did not get angry, but instead blushed and turned his face to the side, as he shouted out.

    At the top of the Myriad Spirit Mountain, although it was not very tall, it gave off a majestic aura. On the peak, there was an open space, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of black light rocks. To be able to use such precious rocks as a foreshadowing showed how wealthy the seven great clans were.

    At this time, there were two groups of people standing at the top of the mountain. One group was led by Zhentian Hua and Hua Ji, and the other was led by a tall and strong man. The man had a scar on his face that covered half of his face from his forehead to his eyes. This person was Long Baitian.

 C116

    Chapter 116 - Crisis (2)

    There were only twenty odd people standing behind Long Baitian, but all of them were powerful experts with vigorous auras. Long Baitian''s goal was that no matter how many weaklings there were, they would all be useless in front of an absolute strong practitioner. Therefore, even the weakest of Long Baitian''s subordinates were experts in Mysterious Sect.

    On the other hand, Heaven Shaking Flower''s side possessed the majority of Xuanzun. There were less than ten people with Mysterious Sect and even less with Xuanzun.

    "Little Tian, do you still not understand? No matter how many people you gather, they won''t be able to defeat me. In front of an absolute expert, numbers are meaningless." Long Baitian crossed his arms across his chest, and looked at Zhentian with eyes full of ridicule.

    "Sooner or later, you will pay for your actions and words." The Heaven Shaking Flower gingiva bit hard. Although it could not refute in its heart, it still spoke stubbornly.

    "Since you are so stubborn, I shall let you pay the price." Long Baitian shrugged his shoulders, and then a wave of spiritual energy s burst out from his body, the twenty odd people behind him also erupted with astonishing spiritual energy pressure, looking carefully, there were actually four sets of Profound Emperor, with nearly twenty of them, Long Baitian had even reached the third stage of Profound Emperor.

    "Big brother, Tu Fu is not here yet." A man holding a scimitar whispered into Long Baitian''s ear. A single Profound Emperor expert was definitely not weak. Although these twenty odd people were already extremely powerful, it was impossible for them to ignore a single Profound Emperor expert.

    "I have to teach him a lesson when the chain falls off at the right time." Long Baitian clenched his teeth, and said, "I won''t wait, I''ll start right away." With that said, Long Baitian waved his hand, and the twenty over experts immediately turned into afterimages, heading straight for Zhentian and the rest.

    "Let''s fight according to the original plan." Zhentian said, then activated his spiritual energy, and rushed straight towards Long Baitian who was still hugging his chest.

    The man with the scimitar appeared between Zhentian Hua and Long Baitian, seemingly wanting to stop Zhentian.

    Before the man with the scimitar clashed with Zhentian, Hua Ji had already rushed towards the man with the longsword. The longsword ruthlessly hacked at the man. Although the man used her scimitar to block it, she still forcefully took it away from the place between Zhentian Hua and Long Baitian under the effect of her immense strength.

    No one obstructed him. Zhentian Hua, in a flash, appeared in front of Long Baitian, and wrapped his hands with layers of spiritual energy s, and prepared to smash them onto Long Baitian.

    "Humph!" Long Baitian let out a cold snort. The spiritual energy condensed in his hand and directly grabbed at Zhentian''s fist. The seemingly strong fist was actually grabbed by Long Baitian.

    "There is no power." Long Baitian said in disdain, and then fiercely twisted Zhen Tian Hua''s hand, causing his entire body to spin 360 degrees in the air.

    When Zhentian fell to the ground, Long Baitian once again ruthlessly pulled at him. At the same time, he clenched his other fist into a fist, on top of which the spiritual energy had already condensed.

    The current Zhentian could not control his body and directly flew towards Long Baitian. Looking at Long Baitian''s fist that was rushing towards his stomach, he was actually powerless.

    BOOM! A loud sound rang out. When the Heaven Shaking Flower was hit, the Spiritual Energy beside it was blasted away. The figure was like a cannonball as he flew backwards. When he crashed into the ground, the ground that was covered by the black flint stone cracked open.

    He quickly crawled up from the ground and could not help but vomit blood. He glared at Long Baitian, and then spiritual energy s surged out of his body and started to circle around him.

    Seeing Zhentian Hua''s actions, Long Baitian also activated his spiritual energy, and similarly condensed a Giant dragon behind him. However, the aura of this Giant dragon was far stronger than the one that was created by Zhentian.

    The Giant dragon behind the two fiercely collided with each other, and the terrifying waves produced by the spiritual energy swept everyone away. Although Zhentian was not as strong as Long Baitian, he was, after all, a second stage Profound Emperor peak expert. Even if he could not compare to Long Baitian, he still had the strength to fight against him.

    The two Giant dragon s intertwined nonstop. The dragon that Long Baitian had agglomerated had the upper hand, but it still wasn''t able to defeat the Heaven Shaking Flower''s dragon.

    "Looks like I still have to reveal my true strength." Long Baitian sighed, then his Qi suddenly soared, instantly reaching the realm of Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank.

    Although he had just broken through the Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank, when he reached the level of Profound Emperor, even if it was just a difference of a stage, the difference in strength was huge.

    Pu! As the Giant dragon was destroyed, Zhentian Hua was also affected and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

    After defeating the Giant dragon, Long Baitian''s gaze turned towards Zhentian, only to see the Giant dragon that Long Baitian had condensed opening its mouth wide and rushing towards Zhentian.

 C117

    Chapter 117 - Enormous Strength (1)

    Just as the Giant dragon was about to devour the Heaven Splitting Flower, Wang Hao suddenly appeared in front of it. The Book of Blood Light scattered light onto the head of the and it floated in front of it.

    The Giant dragon charged onto the Zhenghu blood armor but the Zhenghu blood armor that looked so tiny blocked the Giant dragon. Behind the Zhenghu blood armor, a huge tiger over thirty thousand meters long could be vaguely seen.

    "It''s actually a divine instrument." couldn''t help but be shocked when he saw the Zhenghu blood armor. To mortals, divine instrument were precious treasures, even if he had quite a high position in Dragon Imperial City, he did not have any divine instrument as a Weapons. He could not help but glance at Wang Hao, but when he saw Wang Hao''s third stage Mysterious Sect, he could not help but shake his head, and said: "But Master is too weak, so I shall kill the Lord to steal his treasure."

    After saying that, Long Baitian once again increased the output of the spiritual energy, and increased the strength of the Giant dragon, suppressing the strength of the, causing a tiger''s roar to ring out. Although the Zhenghu blood armor was the one with the strongest imitation defense of the The Divine Realm, Wang Hao was too weak, and was unable to completely activate the Zhenghu blood armor''s strength.

    "Xia Xuan, come back quickly." Wang Hao clenched his teeth and thought. Although Xia Xuan''s strength was only at the Profound King of the Fourth Rank, the Book of Blood Aura and the Zhenghu blood armor still belonged to Xia Xuan, so he was able to unleash the power of the divine instrument to a greater degree.

    Just as Wang Hao was unable to hold on any longer, the sound of wind rang out, and a black scale lance flew over from the horizon, and after a while, they arrived at the top of the mountain with the tip of the spear pointed straight at Long Baitian.

    The sudden attack startled Long Baitian, he was surprised by the black scale lance''s powerful wind. Helpless, he could only retrieve the Giant dragon, and in a flash, he dodged it.

    Dodging the attacks of the black scale lance, Long Baitian''s gaze turned towards the direction that the black scale lance was flying towards.

    A powerful Qi soared into the sky, and a black haired man stepped onto the air and flew over. Teenage was slightly skinny, his entire body was releasing the Spirit Qi of the Soldier King, and there was a strand of blood aura hidden within the Spirit Qi that seemed like a weapon that could kill tens of thousands of enemies.

    At this time, Xia Xuan possessed a pair of soul s, and his aura had reached the realm of Grade Nine Mysterious Sect. Sensing the strength of Xia Xuan''s aura, Long Baitian couldn''t help but say: "Who gave you the courage to disturb my battle? Just based on this divine instrument? "

    Long Baitian''s gaze turned towards the flamethrower. He could tell with a glance that the flamethrower was a type of divine instrument with just one glance.

    Xia Xuan did not have any reaction to Long Baitian''s words at all. With a wave of his hand, the flamethrower flew straight back into his hand, and with another wave of his hand, the Zhenghu blood armor s and the book of blood aura flew over, the Zhenghu blood armor immediately attached itself onto Xia Xuan''s body and the book of blood aura floated beside him. A ray of light shone down from the book, and under the shine of the light, Xia Xuan''s aura became even stronger.

    "So you''re the owner of the divine instrument." Seeing Xia Xuan being able to control the Three Great God''s Equipment so easily, Long Baitian was surprised. A mere Mysterious Sect controlling the Three Great God''s Equipment was a little interesting.

    Xia Xuan still ignored Long Baitian, and turned to look at the book floated by his side. He gently said: "Xue Er, don''t push yourself too much, we can handle it."

    The Bloody Centipede''s manual flashed with light for a while, and then a soft "En" sound came out. Xia Xuan heard a little disappointment from the voice.

    "I''ve said it twice and you ignored me. I won''t let this happen a third time." With regards to Xia Xuan ignoring him, Long Baitian was very angry. A wave of spiritual energy gushed out of his body, and without any reaction, Long Baitian appeared behind him, taking the initiative to attack.

    Xia Xuan could only rely on his instinct to react to Long Baitian''s speed. With the flamethrower blocking right in front of him, he blocked Long Baitian''s fist, but under the immense force, Xia Xuan was still sent flying.

    Xia Xuan couldn''t help but be alarmed as he flew more than ten metres away. Regardless of speed or strength, he was definitely not someone he could compare with.

    "Without the divine instrument, you are nothing." Long Baitian no longer attacked Xia Xuan and he was already filled with disdain towards Xia Xuan. If not for the fact that he relied on divine instrument''s fist, he would have probably taken Xia Xuan''s life.

    Chapter 118 - The Strength of Multiplicity (2)

    Xia Xuan just stared at Long Baitian fiercely, then said to Wang Hao, "The six spirits resonated, and Haoxue took the place of Yan''er, the Seven Stars Arena." )

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Wang Hao could not help but be shocked, his gaze turned towards Su Xian''s group of five who had yet to join the battle, a look of determination surfaced in his eyes as the Soul of the Six Gods merged with his body, and then six figures rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    There were seven people who had once dominated The Divine Realm, and without exception, all seven of them were top rank Divine Generals of the The Divine Realm. When all those who had ulterior motives towards The Divine Realm heard the names of these seven people, they would immediately be terrified, not because they were strong, but because they had a reputation that was similar to the Seven Stars. No matter how strong they were, they wouldn''t be able to face an army of thousands on their own. However, when the Seven Stars appeared, they would sweep through all enemies.

    Wang Hao and the other three appeared behind Xia Xuan. The seven of them had the appearance of the Big Dipper, while Long Baitian was like a star being aimed at a Big Dipper.

    After arranging themselves in formation, the seven people of the binocular flashed with a cold glint, and simultaneously stomped on the ground with both of their feet. All of their movements were done at the same time, as if the seven people were one entity.

    The seven of them rushed towards Long Baitian at the same time, and just when Long Baitian did not know who to attack, the seven of them suddenly spread out, and the seven of them formed a unique formation that coincidentally surrounded Long Baitian.

    Xia Xuan and Wang Hao directly rushed in front of Long Baitian, while Su Bing and Mo Youxue arrived at his two sides. Shangguan Zelong flew high up in the sky, with countless feathers already congealing in the sky.

    Long Baitian carefully looked at the seven people around him. He didn''t know why, but he felt a sense of danger, but he still spoke stubbornly: "It''s useless even if you have more people." After that, his gaze shifted towards Xia Xuan. He could naturally tell that Xia Xuan was the leader of the seven people, and as long as he could eliminate Xia Xuan first, the seven people would definitely lose.

    No longer paying attention to the other six people, Long Baitian only had eyes for Xia Xuan. spiritual energy had condensed in the center of his palm and was about to rush towards Xia Xuan.

    At this moment, the corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly. It was true that he was the strongest out of the seven, but if he ignored the others, Long Baitian would definitely lose.

    Just as Long Baitian was about to rush towards Xia Xuan, a light needle suddenly stabbed into the back of Long Baitian''s head, causing no injuries, but Long Baitian remained in the hole of the binocular, his entire body stopping. The God of Wisdom was not good at fighting, but he was good at seizing intelligence.

    Seeing that Long Baitian had stopped moving, Su Bing and Mo Youxue both turned into streaks of light, in a flash bringing about two streaks of blood light, all they saw was that Long Baitian''s binocular had shattered, although their attacks were not strong, but it was still possible to destroy Long Baitian''s binocular.

    Su Bing and Mo Youxue had just finished attacking, with a wave of his hand, feathers that filled the sky flew down together, and like a meteor shower, they rained down. Although Shangguan Zelong''s feathers were not too powerful to Long Baitian, it surpassed the number of feathers he had, causing tens of thousands of feathers to fall at the same time, creating an astonishing might.

    All the feathers on Long Baitian''s body had fallen out, all the joints in his body were broken, and his entire body could collapse at any time. Xia Xuan and Wang Hao looked at each other, and then rushed out at the same time. The Flame Sun Knife and the flamethrower intersected and slashed at Long Baitian, so the current Long Baitian probably did not have any strength to defend against the attacks from the two Great God''s artifacts.

    "Please show mercy, little friend." Just at this moment, an aged voice sounded out, and a ray of light descended from the sky. The astonishing spiritual energy pressure made Xia Xuan and his group hurriedly withdraw their hands, and the six vine immediately pulled Xia Xuan and the other three towards them.

    Chapter 119 - Indomitable (1)

    Following the descent of the pillar of light, a white-haired Old Man appeared in front of Long Baitian and used his body to block their attacks.

    "My friends, can you give this old man some face and let him go?" Old Man cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan and the others.

    Xia Xuan raised his brow and he naturally recognized the Old Man. It was rumored that the famous Elder Hu Yan of the three great Dragon Imperial Sects was at the peak of Grade Nine Mysterious Sect. She is also a top Ranker in Human Realm.

    Xia Xuan didn''t dare to be negligent towards Hu Yan, but he was curious as to why he would appear to save Old Bastard Tian. He immediately returned the greeting and asked: "Senior Hu Yan, this is a bit of a violation of the rules, I wonder if you can give me a reason?"

    "Truth be told, the head of my Dragon Emperor Sect has already decided to accept him as his final disciple. If he is killed in this competition, I cannot say for myself." Hu Yan also knew that his actions were unfair to the others, but after thinking of the sect master''s prestige, he could only bite the bullet and speak.

    "Oh!" We do not have any objections. However, there are only a hundred people who will be selected from the first batch. " Xia Xuan didn''t actually want to make things difficult for Hu Yan either. He and Long Baitian had no enmity with each other in the first place, so why wouldn''t she do so after giving Hu Yan face?

    Hu Yan naturally understood the meaning behind Xia Xuan''s words, and immediately said: "Don''t worry, little friend, you can choose as you wish, as long as there are no more than 500 people, all of you will be selected."

    He then turned his gaze to the sky. From the moment he had entered the Myriad Spirit Realm, he had already felt that he was being watched, and he knew that the seven great clans of the three sects had definitely sent people over, and the feeling of being watched must have come from them.

    As if they had noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze, they saw nine beams of white light falling from the sky. These nine people''s Qi were extremely powerful, and were actually similar to Hu Yan.

    Logically speaking, the eyes of these nine people should be filled with a kind of indolence that had a noble status and did not care about anything. However, there was a lustful greed in their eyes.

    divine instrument were originally divine weapons, and due to some coincidences, divine instrument would scatter around the Human Realm. This kind of precious treasure was too enticing for the Homo sapiens.

    Amongst the nine people, a man carrying a large knife had already taken it down, the greed in his eyes had already reached its peak. Xia Xuan knew that this person did not intend to endure any longer.

    Just as the man was about to take action, the bodies of the ten people, including Hu Yan, all sank. Without exception, all ten of their faces revealed a look of shock, and then the man with the blade immediately retracted his large knife.

    "Little friend, who do you want to be selected?" Hu Yan calmed her surging emotions and said respectfully to Xia Xuan. The current him did not dare to underestimate Xia Xuan in the slightest. Just now, a sound transmission had entered his mind, and he was very clear as to the status of the owner of that voice ˇŞ ˇŞ God.

    Xia Xuan smiled slightly and said: "This time, thirteen empires will be participating in the war against the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom. The various empires will allocate forty places, and Wan Yan, Bei Quan, and the Tiger Roar Country will all be selected. The remaining spots will be allocated to Hua Ji and Zhentian."

    With that said, Xia Xuan turned and walked down the mountain. From the looks of it, he wanted to leave first.

    "My friend, please wait a moment. After the competition is over, you will all have to choose a sect. You will also have to report to the sect, and then you will have to cultivate in the sect for a year." Seeing that Xia Xuan was about to leave, Hu Yan quickly said.

    "After I enter the Shafts, I have to leave for five years. After five years, I will head to Sha Cong. Xia Xuan slapped his forehead, and said, "Wang Hao, you can follow them to the Shafts, with these, you can obtain the status of elders." With that, Xia Xuan threw a Token to Wang Hao. At the same time, the Book of Blood Splitting Light, Zhenghu blood armor and the Six God''s Heart all flew towards Wang Hao. After doing all of this, Xia Xuan turned around and was about to leave.

    One of the ten was dressed in red, the badge on his chest had the word "stop" written on it. Just as he wanted to say something, a ray of light shone down from the sky, and under the light''s illumination, neither humans nor spirit beast could help but want to kneel down. This light was so holy and beautiful, as if all evil thoughts would disappear under the light.

    "Plop!" An orderly sound of someone kneeling came out, and other than Xia Xuan and Wang Hao, the rest of the six all knelt down, they were all kneeling under the light, with their heads lowered, appearing to be extremely devout.

    Chapter 120 - Indomitable (2)

    A beautiful figure that was emitting light slowly descended from the sky, with a pair of wings on her back and a sacred sword in her hand. Although her body was covered by a set of armor, it could not conceal her perfect figure, and her long golden hair made her look holy.

    Time God floated in front of Xia Xuan, and said in a sacred but still voice that did not reject a person from thousands of miles away: "Big Brother, aren''t we going back to the clan to take a look?"

    Xia Xuan chuckled and sighed: "His parents had passed away ten thousand years ago. Going to a sect without relatives would only increase his grief.

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan actually reached out and rubbed the head of the Time God, and a special trace of emotion flowed in his eyes. The gaze he gave the Time God was as though he was looking at his own younger sister. There was a pair of siblings in The Divine Realm. The elder brother was the Deicide, and the younger sister was the only god of time, the Flame Frost. With regards to Xia Xuan''s actions, Yan Shuang did not resist at all. Instead, she gave a cute smile, and then waved her hand, causing a space tunnel to appear.

    Xia Xuan turned around and glanced at Wang Hao and the others, especially when he saw the reluctant look in Jiao Ling''s eyes, he felt that he couldn''t lift his feet at all. But he needed strength, he had friends and lovers, but he didn''t have enough experience.

    Gritting his teeth fiercely, Xia Xuan finally turned around and walked towards the space tunnel. Little Zheng was still lying on Xia Xuan''s body, his little head looking at Wang Hao and the others with unwillingness to part. Although Xia Xuan was Little Zheng''s master, after all, he had interacted with Wang Hao and the others for a long time, so they still had some feelings for each other.

    In the end, Xia Xuan disappeared into the tunnel and Yan Shuang also went into the tunnel.

    A The black-haired youth stepped out of the tunnel, and when the guards saw Xia Xuan, they all knelt down on one knee, and respectfully said: "Greetings, Crown Prince Xia Xuan."

    Xia Xuan did not say anything, but gently stepped forward, and by the time he had finished, he had already disappeared.

    In the depths of Imperial Palace, Xia Cha was currently revising the imperial reports. Early on, Xia Xuan''s mother had died a difficult death while giving birth to Xia Xuan, and during this year, Xia Cha had not immersed himself too much in the martial way. He had done his best in national affairs, and his entire person seemed to have aged quite a bit.

    Without making any sound, Xia Xuan appeared in the room out of nowhere. Looking at Xia Cha''s face which had aged a little, Xia Xuan''s heart felt a little sour.

    As if he had finished his review, Xia Cha put down the brush in his hand and stretched his back. When he stretched, he saw a figure that he had not seen for a year.

    Seeing Xia Xuan, the expression on Xia Cha''s face froze for a moment. He ruthlessly rubbed his eyes, and when he realised that he had not misjudged his, the binocular was shining with tears.

    He quickly stood up and arrived in front of Xia Xuan. Looking at Xia Xuan''s slightly red eyes, Xia Cha immediately asked: "What''s wrong? Did someone bully you? "

    Xia Xuan was already unable to speak, he only shook his head, and a smile that came from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face when he saw Xia Cha.

    "You haven''t eaten yet, right? I''ll get someone to prepare a meal right now." Xia Cha quickly understood why Xia Xuan''s nose was red, and immediately changed the topic.

    Xia Cha and Xia Xuan sat right next to each other. Xia Xuan, who had not eaten for a long time, was already crazily eating from his bowl. These dishes might not be as delicious as the ones Li Le cooked, but they were something he had eaten since he was young, and these dishes had a home taste.

    "Child, how have you been this past year?" Xia Xuan was only thirteen years old now, but he had already wandered the world for a year. It was not that he did not know what Xia Xuan had done during this year, but it was also because of this that as his father, Xia Cha felt even more upset. As his father, he was not able to protect Xia Xuan, so he could only focus on national affairs and hope that what Xia Xuan saw when he returned was a beautiful country.

    "I''ve been doing very well. I''ve also gotten a girlfriend. Next time, I''ll bring her home and show her to my father." Xia Xuan nodded his head. Although he had been running around for the past year and felt exhausted, he did not say it out loud.

    "I''m just going home to take a look. When are you planning to leave?" Xia Cha saw that Xia Xuan''s face, which was supposed to be filled with vitality, had a look of vicissitudes of life, and his heart could not help but hurt, then he asked a question that he was unwilling to ask.

    "I''m afraid we''ll have to leave after this meal. Time is of the essence." Xia Xuan lowered his head and said.

    A hint of sorrow surfaced on Xia Cha''s face, but was quickly put away. He pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Quickly try this fish.

    In the evening, Xia Xuan was walking inside the space tunnel, and the current him was still thinking about Xia Cha''s last words, "Child, if you''re tired, go home. Xing Bei is your home." These words reverberated in Xia Xuan''s mind and could not be dispersed.

    Chapter 121 - Beginning of the Hundred Desolations (1)

    There was a place at the border of the Five Realms that was known as the Hundred Desolate Lands. There were no rules here, no one controlled this place, and many of the perpetrators of heinous crimes would flee from their own territories to come here, and after a long time, this place would also become the heaven for criminals.

    A space tunnel suddenly split open, and a The black-haired youth slowly walked out. On the Teenage''s back was a small beast with a David''s Deer, shockingly, it was Xia Xuan.

    Right after Xia Xuan walked out of the room, Flame Frost had already concealed her wings, and her battle armor had also been changed into plain clothes. However, the Flame Frost she was wearing was even more beautiful with her watery skin, and her perfect facial features and special golden hair were definitely a disaster for women.

    This time, Xia Xuan''s goal was the Hundred Desolate Lands, he set up a few restrictions for himself, he could not use the two Great God''s souls, and could not use any divine skills. This was training from experience. If there was no pressure from training, it couldn''t be called training from experience.

    Stepping out of the space tunnel, Xia Xuan looked around him. This place was surrounded by a group of mountains, and with a glance, he could only see a mountain range. Actually, this was not the Hundred Desolate Land.

    After determining the direction, Xia Xuan headed towards the east. There were many cities located tens of thousands of feet away from the Hundred Desolate Lands, and up till now, the only martial art that Xia Xuan had mastered was the Soul-piercing Needle, but the Soul-piercing Spike was a technique that could injure the enemy and injure himself to 800 points. Thus, the first thing Xia Xuan had to do was to purchase a martial art.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan arrived at a city. The city was not big, but it was not small either, there were fights everywhere after entering the city, many criminals would rest in the city for a period of time before crossing the Ten Thousand Mountains.

    Most of these sinners carried great treasures or money with them. Because of them, as long as one had the strength, they would be able to open shops that were as rich as oil in these cities.

    Walking on the street, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang attracted 90% of the crowd''s attention. More accurately, the gazes were all focused on Yan Shuang, there were actually quite a few girls who knew how to commit crimes, but only one of them was as beautiful and pure as Yan Shuang.

    Regarding this, Xia Xuan expressed that he could do nothing about it, and quickly found a spot in his family''s martial arts to help Yan Shuang hide.

    "Welcome, esteemed guests. May I ask what grade of martial arts you would like to purchase?" The price of a martial art was even higher than some jewelry gold. It could be said that if one could buy one every month, there was no need to worry about food and drinks, so when they saw the Guest, the middle-aged man was exceptionally happy.

    "What is the highest level of martial arts in this store?" Xia Xuan''s eyes swept across the store but he did not find any high ranked martial arts on the bookshelves around him, hence he asked.

    The man immediately understood what Xia Xuan meant and hurried inside the shop. Not long after, he brought out a box and opened it slightly.

    "Black Level One martial art, Lightning Blitz Secret Art. It can control the strength of Lightning in tens of thousands of different forms. It is unpredictable and impossible to guard against." The man held the box in his hand and spoke boastfully. There was a hint of Wang Ma selling her melon and boasting about herself.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan sneered, then continued, "The Lightning''s power is confirmed to be powerful, it can be said to be difficult to guard against, but it''s hard to guard against, so it''s a little exaggerated. Furthermore, the Lightning''s power isn''t something that can be used by people only when they have the chance to obtain a Thunder Rain weather skill.

    The man laughed awkwardly, he did not expect Xia Xuan to be so smart, and immediately said: "Little brother, I think the goods in my shop are very good, how about I give you a 20% discount, 20 thousand Spirit Yuan Pills, how about it?"

    "Ten thousand."

    "13,000."

    "Fifteen thousand."

    "Deal." Xia Xuan said straightforwardly. Maybe Ben Lei decided that this price wasn''t worth it, but in his hands, it was far more than that.

    Walking among the various nations in the past year, even if Xia Xuan had millions of Spirit Yuan Pills, there were still a few hundred thousand, not to mention the alliance with the North Spring Region, even when he saved the Snow Wind Empire, he still took a few hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills as compensation.

 C122

    Chapter 122 - Beginning of the Hundred Desolations (2)

    After paying the entrance fee, Xia Xuan kept the Rushing Thunder Art into his storage ring. Just as Xia Xuan was about to leave, the man called out to Xia Xuan and whispered in his ear: "Little brother, this is your first time in the city, right?"

    Xia Xuan did not understand what the man meant, and replied: "Yes."

    "Auction is currently being held in the city. If little brother is interested, you can take a look." The man said again.

    "Mm, thank you very much." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said, it was not easy to meet a kind-hearted person in a place full of sinners.

    "It''s nothing. You bought my Lightning Blitz Secret Art, so I have to thank you for it." The man said respectfully. Since the Rushing Thunder Formula could only be used in thunderstorm, although its grade was high, no one bought it. As a result, he had already reduced the price to ten thousand Spirit Yuan Pills.

    Without saying anything else, Xia Keke turned around and walked back into the store. Xia Xuan naturally liked the Auction very much. Most of the treasures that could appear in the Auction were treasures that couldn''t be bought on the market, so if there were any treasures, they could be auctioned off.

    Of course, Xia Xuan was not worried about the funding at all. With Soldier King''s over a million Mysterious Spirit Pill, even the entire Auction House could buy them. One must know that a single Mysterious Spirit Pill was comparable to thousands of Spirit Yuan Pills, a million Spirit Yuan Pills was a terrifying number.

    The Auction House was unable to find him because no matter where they were in the city, they would be able to see a huge building. At this time, there was no one outside the building, so it was likely that the Auction had already begun.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to enter the Auction House, the two Soldiers s suddenly blocked his path and said in unison, "The Auction has already started, we need to search our bodies before we can enter."

    Hearing that, Xia Xuan frowned, and said without a trace of politeness: "Scram." It was not that Xia Xuan was unreasonable, but the eyes of the two Soldiers s had never left Yan Shuang.

    "How dare you, this place is the territory of our Hong Gate, let''s see who dares to be so impudent." The two Soldiers s did not show any signs of weakness. There were many sects in the Hundred Desolate Lands, and one of them was a sect named Hong Sect.

    Xia Xuan did not want to talk much with the two of them, and directly ignored the two, walking towards the Auction House. Some people did not even know their own limits if they did not accept this lesson.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s actions, the two Soldiers s were also enraged, they walked forward and grabbed onto Xia Xuan''s hands, but when they grabbed onto Xia Xuan''s hands, the Qi of a Mystical King Ranker burst out, causing the two Soldiers s to be directly blown away.

    Just as the two were about to land, a group of spiritual energy held them up, and a few figures walked out from the Auction House. The two figures in the lead had powerful Qi, dressed in silk clothes, and the binocular gave off a sense of shrewdness.

    "When is the noise?" One of the two men in the lead said.

    Seeing the two men, the two Soldiers s immediately stood up and respectfully said to the two: "Young Master, Second Young Master, there are two people here causing trouble."

    The two men turned to look at Xia Xuan. When they saw Yan Shuang, they were stunned, but the man who was called Young Master gave the two Soldiers two slaps, and scolded: "How many times have I said it, you are here as a guest, if next time I see you making things difficult for Guest, then get up and piss off."

    After he finished speaking, the man then instructed two maids to bring Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang into the Auction House.

    "Big brother, what do you think of these two?" The man who was called Second Young Master asked the young master.

    "Look carefully at that man''s bones. That man is a Mystical King Ranker at the age of thirteen, and there might be a powerful family backing him. Although the woman is beautiful, she is not to be easily offended."

 C123

    Chapter 123 - Bidding (1)

    There was a large sofa and a table in the room. There were all kinds of delicious food and wine, and one could see the entire Auction House through the window. However, the Auction House was currently pitch black, and the scene in the room couldn''t be seen.

    Standing at the window, Xia Xuan looked out. He could vaguely sense that there were many powerful auras, and guessed that there must be many strong auras in the Auction House.

    There was only one spot of light in the entire Auction House, and that was the auction stage. Dozens of lights shone on the same spot. A woman dressed in a qipao slowly walked to where the lights were gathered. She was tall and slender, and the snow-white long legs that were exposed from within the qipao were always able to attract many gazes.

    "Thank you all for coming. I am Xue Ji whom you have all been looking forward to for a long time. Today''s Auction is being presided over by me. I hope that the ones seated here can give Xue Ji some face." The qipao girl spoke to the audience.

    The entire audience cheered. There was a beauty named Xue Ji in the city, she was as beautiful as a fairy and the hundred wastelands formed a line for her suitors, allowing the entire city to walk in a circle.

    "Next, let''s see the first item for sale: Xuan Level Three Martial Arts: Subduing the Demon Palm." As Xue Ji''s voice faded, a small cart was slowly pushed onto the auction stage. On the cart, there was a book, and even though it was a long distance away, Xia Xuan could still see three large words written on it: Suppressing Demon Palm.

    Picking up the martial art on the cart, Xue Ji continued: "The Subduing Subduing Demon Palm was created by Mo Luohan. It''s said that once you''ve mastered it, you can move mountains and overturn the seas with a flip of your hand."

    Xue Ji''s words caused the entire audience to be shocked, although everyone knew that Xue Ji''s words were exaggerated, they still had to shout at Xue Ji''s appearance.

    Seeing the audience''s reaction, Xue Ji gave a charming smile, causing the audience to be envious, and said: "The price of the Subduing Platform Magic Palm is five hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills, and each increase must not be less than ten thousand. The bidding starts now."

    "Five hundred and thirty thousand."

    "Five hundred and fifty thousand."

    As Xue Ji''s voice fell, countless bids sounded out. If one were to judge by the market price, a Profound Grade Three martial art was worth at most six hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills, and in just a few minutes, its price had already reached seven hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Yuan Pills. This was the role of the host, if the host was not Xue Ji, then the price of the Subduing Platform Magic Palm would at most be seven hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills.

    "Nine hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills." When the sound was heard, all the eyes of the entire Auction House turned towards the VIP room, but they could only see a wall shining with light. As for what was going on inside the wall, they had no idea.

    In the Auction House''s backstage, the eldest and second young master looked towards the VIP room where Xia Xuan was at, a smile on his face, and only heard the eldest young master say: "My guess is right, this person is definitely not an ordinary person."

    In the VIP room, Yan Shuang fiercely glared at Xia Xuan. She was a little jealous that Xia Xuan had actually offered nine hundred thousand spirit essence pills to auction a Black Level Three martial arts book.

    Xia Xuan naturally noticed Yan Shuang''s gaze and understood why Yan Shuang was doing this. He reached out his hand to rub Yan Shuang''s head and said, "Don''t worry, your brother is not that kind of person."

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Yan Shuang nodded his head obediently. Then, he sat down on the sofa, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth.

    The current Xia Xuan had the Piercing Soul Needle and flash lightning, but it did not have a powerful martial art. Just relying on combat skills was not enough to make up for the difference in levels, so Xia Xuan needed the Subduing Platform Magic Palm.

    Nine hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills could be used to purchase a set of Profound Grade Four martial arts from the market. Although most of those present did not lack money, no one would be stupid enough to use nine hundred thousand Spirit Yuan Pills to purchase a set of Profound Grade Three martial arts.

    "Congratulations to the Guest in private room number nine for obtaining the Demon Palm of Futai Town. Everyone, thank you for your generous offer." Xue Ji said politely.

    In the next few hours, Xia Xuan did not bid for anything else. It was not because he did not have any more Mysterious Spirit Pill, but because nothing that could move Xia Xuan''s heart appeared among the Auction. Therefore, Xia Xuan placed all of his attention on the last Auction. Logically speaking, the best items should still be left at the last one.

 C124

    Chapter 124 - Bidding (2)

    Several hours passed, just as Xia Xuan was about to fall asleep, the entire Auction House suddenly lit up with dazzling lights. The strong light pierced into Xia Xuan''s eyes, causing even the binocular to feel pain.

    "Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is the best treasure of the Auction, the Bodhi''s mass." Xue Ji''s voice came out, followed by several Xuanhuang experts protecting a cart that arrived at the auction stage. On the cart was a prayer mat, although the prayer mat was covered by the spiritual energy, a faint fragrance spread throughout the entire Auction House.

    "Xue Ji will not explain to you what the Bodhi''s mass is doing, because if you want to describe its value, you only need to say it, the Bodhi''s mass is comparable to the divine instrument." When Xue Ji said this, the entire audience was shocked, what was a divine instrument? It was a priceless treasure that had no market price. A treasure that was comparable to a divine instrument was probably even more precious than a Divine level martial art.

    Not only were the people in the ordinary seats shocked, even Xia Xuan himself was shocked. Through the mysterious patterns on the praying mat, Xia Xuan could tell what the use of this treasure was.

    Seeing the reaction of the audience, Xue Ji''s smile became brighter, and she laughed: The starting price of the Bodhi''s mass s is five million Spirit Yuan Pills, and every increase in the bid must be at least one hundred thousand.

    As Xue Ji''s voice fell, many of the spectators'' hearts dropped. Five million Spirit Origin Pills, to the people of this round, was enough for them to live without worry for their entire lives.

    Before the audience could recover from the shock, a voice rang out, shocking everyone once again. One of the people in the arena shouted, "Ten million Spirit Yuan Pills."

    In the VIP room, Xia Xuan took a glance at the person who bid, she was a man dressed in black robe robes, although the black robe had covered her face, Xia Xuan could still tell at a glance how strong she was, she was a Xuanhuang expert, and a Xuanhuang expert who was about to reach Xuanzun.

    As if he had noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze, black cloaked man suddenly tilted his head, and Xia Xuan could vaguely see a smirk on his face, showing off to Xia Xuan.

    "Twenty thousand Mysterious Spirit Pill." Mysterious Spirit Pill s were also a type of currency in the Human Realm, and Mysterious Spirit Pill represented a type of strength. Normal people would not be able to take out Mysterious Spirit Pill s, but twenty thousand Mysterious Spirit Pill s, this proved that Xia Xuan was not simple.

    "Tch!" black cloaked man heard Xia Xuan''s bid, and looked at the Bodhi''s mass with eyes filled with greed. This Bodhi''s mass was extremely useful to him, it could be said that he had to get it.

    "Thirty thousand Mysterious Spirit Pill." Just as black cloaked man''s voice fell, Xia Xuan''s voice sounded again. He was so angry that the face of the black cloaked man''s black robe flushed red, but he had no choice. Twenty-five million was already his limit.

    When Xue Ji had repeated Xia Xuan''s bid three times on the stage, he finally said in a loud voice, "Congratulations to the Guest in private room number nine for winning the Bodhi''s mass."

    Everyone''s gaze turned towards private room nine. Although the people in private room nine were not ordinary, he was currently in the Hundred Desolate Lands, so no one would fear if there was any power backing him. After the auction, everyone would forcibly snatch away the Bodhi''s mass, including everything on Xia Xuan''s body.

    Xia Xuan who was in the VIP room did not feel any sense of danger because everyone was looking at him as a target. Since he dared to bid for the Bodhi''s mass, he naturally had a way to take it away.

 C125

    Chapter 125 - Leaving with Treasure (1)

    In the Auction House''s background, Xia Xuan once again saw the Eldest and Second Young Master. This time, although the two of them would occasionally glance at Yan Shuang, most of their gazes were still focused on Xia Xuan.

    "Brother, you are indeed generous. After I bought two brothers and witnessed your bids, I am very impressed." After the young master saw Xia Xuan, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "We two brothers are from Hongmen Hongjin Hong, if you have any difficulties in the future, come and find us at Hongmen."

    Xia Xuan had a good impression of the two of them, if not for them, he feared that there would be a huge commotion if Xia Xuan wanted to enter the Auction House.

    After chatting with Hong Jin Hong for a while, a servant brought over the Bodhi''s mass s and the Demon Palm of Futai Zhen. After a brief inspection, Xia Xuan kept the both of them into his storage ring, and then bid farewell to Hong Jin Hong.

    "Brother, can this person bring the Bodhi''s mass away?" Hong asked Hong Jin.

    "Let''s make a bet. The wager will be the right to inherit the position of the Great Clan Sect Leader. How about it?" Hong Jinxie smiled charmingly, his smile was very sinister.

    Looking at Hong Jin''s sinister face, Hong Jin snappily said, "If you want to bet, then so be it. Anyway, I''ve never thought of taking the position of sect head. I''ll be supporting you for the rest of my life."

    Looking at Hong Fu, Hong Jin could not help but smile, this was a true brother.

    Outside the Auction House, the current Auction House was not quiet because the auction had ended. On the contrary, there were a sea of people outside the Auction House, not only were there participants from the Auction, even some who had strength but were feeling embarrassed yet had gathered here. They did not dare offend the Great Clan, but they did often take other people''s treasures.

    "Creak." Everyone''s gaze turned towards the Auction House''s slowly opening door, only to see a The black-haired youth slowly walking out. On the Teenage''s back was a small beast that looked like one, and following the Teenage was a golden-haired girl.

    Seeing Xia Xuan and Mu Xuanyin, everyone gathered their concentration. Through the fluctuations of the spiritual energy on Xia Xuan''s body, everyone could see his true strength and Profound King of the Fourth Rank. In the Hundred Desolate Lands, the Profound King of the Fourth Rank was not too strong. No matter what power stood behind Xia Xuan, no one would care.

    Looking at Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, the sounds of Saliva swallowing could be heard one after another. In the end, there were people who couldn''t resist the temptation and dozens of figures charged out explosively. These dozens of people were not only Mystical King experts, there were even a few Xuanhuang experts.

    Just as the dozens of people were about to reach Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang suddenly disappeared, and the dozens of people pounced on the afterimages and passed through. Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang who had disappeared appeared in the sky above the group of people, the distance between the two of them was more than a kilometer.

    "Over there." In the end, someone found Xia Xuan''s location and pointed at him with a loud voice. Everyone''s gaze turned towards Xia Xuan. When they saw the distance Xia Xuan was at, they couldn''t help but gasp.

    "I won''t accompany you any longer. Bye bye." Xia Xuan chuckled, then pulled at the flame frost. In a few flashes, he had already appeared in the distance.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan wanted to escape, the crowd of people reacted quickly and activated their spiritual energy, transforming into streaks of light as they chased after Xia Xuan. The plaza which was originally filled with people suddenly rumbled after Xia Xuan left, and after that, there was no one left on the plaza.

    As the people left, two figures walked out from Auction House. One was a man and one was a woman, the other was a man with black hair. On his back was a small beast with a David''s Deer.

    A dignified first generation Deicide would naturally not be easily defeated by a group of mortals. A clone made from the use of spiritual energy by a first generation Deicide was not something these people could differentiate between real and fake.

    After walking out of the Auction House, Xia Xuan looked at his surroundings, and then disappeared in a flash.

    Before long, Xia Xuan had arrived at the green forest of the Thousand Feet Mountain. The distance from here to the city was already more than five kilometers, so the fight here should not be discovered.

    Standing in the forest, Xia Xuan''s two fingers formed a sword, the spiritual energy condensing at the tip of his finger. With a sudden wave of his hand, a pair of spiritual energy s pointed towards a large tree.

    With two fingers striking the tree trunk, the entire big tree instantly burst open. Just as the spiritual energy continued to attack with her two fingers, a shadow of the black cloaked man suddenly shot out.

 C126

    Chapter 126 - Leaving with Treasure (2)

    "Did you think I wouldn''t know that you followed me when you left the Auction House?" Xia Xuan looked at the shadow of the black cloaked man and could not help but let out a cold laugh.

    black cloaked man took off his hat, and an old face appeared. Old Man had an aquiline nose, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked like he was about to run out of oil.

    "Brat, give me the Bodhi''s mass. If you have any requests, feel free to ask me." Old Man said with a hoarse voice.

    Xia Xuan did not answer Old Man, only saw flamethrower appearing in a flash, holding onto flamethrower, a burst of killing intent was emitted from Xia Xuan''s body, from the very beginning Xia Xuan had been thinking of hunting Old Man, the 25 million Spirit Yuan Pills was not a small number.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s actions, Old Man immediately understood that a wave of spiritual energy was gushing out from his body. There was actually a type of death aura amongst the spiritual energy, and this Old Man was already on the verge of death, no wonder Old Man wanted to obtain the Bodhi''s mass.

    Towards the Old Man, Xia Xuan did not have a shred of sympathy. To live in the Hundred Wastelands until now, there must have been countless people who had killed them. Perhaps people had already forgotten about them, but he had indeed killed countless people in the past.

    Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and rushed out explosively, the flamethrower in his hands had already gathered together and the tip of his spear was pointed straight at Old Man.

    "Humph!" If it wasn''t for the fact that he urgently needed the Bodhi''s mass, he would not have spoken good words with Xia Xuan. It should be known that Xia Xuan only had Profound King of the Fourth Rank at the moment and the Old Man was already a Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor.

    Old Man raised his dry and dried up hands, and spiritual energy started to slowly circulate between his hands. Just as Xia Xuan was about to reach him, the spiritual energy that was flowing between his hands instantly turned into a barrier.

    As expected of the Old Man, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand pointed at the screen and a wave came out. The barrier trembled slightly, but there were no signs of it about to break.

    Just as they were about to attack Xia Xuan, the binocular stared wide open. Since the moment the flamethrower had pointed at the barrier, Xia Xuan had not moved, as if the Xia Xuan in front of him was not a real person, but an afterimage!

    Without any hesitation, the Old Man turned around abruptly and swung the spiritual energy in his hands down right on one of the black scale lance.

    Xia Xuan who held the pike in her hand was obviously unable to defend against the Old Man''s attack. When the spiritual energy struck the flamethrower, it instantly caused it to retreat explosively.

    After beating Xia Xuan back, Old Man could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he was a Xuanhuang expert, he could not exhaust too many spiritual energy.

    Just as Old Man breathed a sigh of relief, a ray of light needle shot out from the side of his head. Although Old Man had reacted to it and used the spiritual energy as a barrier, the light needle had still pierced through him.

    Old Man''s mind was immediately turned blank after being pierced by the light needle. The already turbid binocular became even more lifeless. Xia Xuan had already changed his position long ago, and without knowing when, he had already appeared beside Old Man. That light needle was the Soul-piercing Needle that he had released.

    Taking off the storage ring on Old Man''s finger, Xia Xuan smiled and said to the elder: Thank you for your Spirit Yuan Pill.

    However, the Old Man could no longer recover. His brain, which was already at the end of his lifespan, had already been completely destroyed after being hit by the soul piercing needle''s attack.

 C127

    Chapter 127 - Above the Peak of the Mountain (1)

    After snatching the Old Man''s storage ring, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang hid in a remote area. Here, he wanted to check what kind of harvest the Old Man had obtained from the storage ring, but what was embarrassing was that the storage ring had only fifteen million spirit essence pills inside, so the Old Man had already sold everything in order to buy the Bodhi''s mass.

    "Sigh, there''s no treasure here, how poor." He held the storage ring in his hand and shook it a few times. His face was full of frustration, but he didn''t get anything from the storage ring.

    "Forget it, let''s just look at the Bodhi''s mass." Letting out a sigh, Xia Xuan took out the Bodhi''s mass from his storage ring. Looking at the Bodhi''s mass in his hand, Xia Xuan suddenly threw it on the ground and sat on it.

    The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy converged towards Xia Xuan unceasingly, but they did not see any hint of improvement in Xia Xuan''s Qi, but Xia Xuan''s Qi was getting more and more concentrated.

    A Qi Cultivator''s training was like building a house, the more solid the foundation, the more one''s cultivation would be. It was because the hawk-nosed Old Man''s foundation was not strong enough, that they had stayed in the Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor for dozens of years without being able to break through, if they could obtain Bodhi''s mass, they would definitely be able to quickly break through, and the breakthrough in their cultivation would bring about an increase in their lifespan, which was why the Old Man was trying so hard to obtain Bodhi''s mass.

    After cultivating for four hours, Xia Xuan slowly restrained his Qi, and spat out a mouthful of turbid Qi. Although his cultivation had not made a breakthrough, he felt that his entire body was brimming with energy, and the reason why people with higher cultivation could defeat people with lower cultivation was actually because after raising their cultivation, their spiritual energy''s solidification level would also increase greatly. With the Bodhi''s mass, he believed that the challenge of going beyond their cultivation level would not be a problem at all in the future.

    After putting away the Bodhi''s mass, Xia Xuan stretched his body lazily, and the sound of bones knocking against each other sounded out. When one looked at the summit of the mountain, one would be able to enter the wasteland as long as they climbed over the mountain. The real experiential learning was inside the wasteland.

    "Big brother, how are we going to cross the mountain?" Seeing that Xia Xuan had finished cultivating, Yan Shuang slowly walked over to his side and asked.

    There was a barrier around the Thousand Feet Mountain. Because most of the people that came from the outside possessed great treasures, some people from the Hundred Desolate Land would stop at the mountain peak. If they wanted to enter the Hundred Desolate Land, they would have to pay. Of course, if it was Yan Shuang who made the move, the space tunnel could be directly torn apart and the mountain would leap tens of thousands of feet high.

    "Go straight ahead. If you rely too much on your strength, what''s there to enjoy about it?" Xia Xuan took a deep breath and laughed.

    He had to admit that the mountain was quite tall. It had taken him several hours to walk up the mountainside. The sun was already setting, and from a location halfway up the mountain, he could see the beautiful dusk.

    In his previous life, he would often pull Flame Frost along to the back of the clan''s mountain to enjoy the beautiful view of dusk. At that time, when they were tired, they would go back home and their mother would cook dinner, and their father would scold them for coming home too late.

    "Big brother, it''s time to go home and eat ˇ­" Flame Frost also stared blankly at the beautiful dusk. When the sun completely set, he said this out of instinct. However, when he finished speaking, he felt a sense of loneliness. As Deities, they had nearly a hundred million years of lifespan, but their parents only had a hundred years. Ten thousand years ago, their only family members were each other.

    Xia Xuan reached out and rubbed Yan Shuang''s head, looking at his gentle voice with a benevolent gaze, "Are you missing your parents?"

    "Yes." Yan Shuang nodded slightly, lowering her head, not allowing Xia Xuan to see her face.

    "I''ll stay with you." Xia Xuan frowned, holding Yan Shuang in his arms, he kissed her forehead and said gently.

    The night descended, but the mountain did not become deathly silent because of the night. Countless people rushed to the summit, and there was a row of people desperately trying to stop the crowd at the top of the mountain. However, under the endless onslaught of people, it was clear that they were on the verge of collapsing.

    Just at this moment, a pillar of fire shot into the sky. In the midst of the flames, a faintly discernable figure could be seen; his aura was actually as strong as a third-grade Xuanzun.

    The moment the fiery figure rushed up to the sky, he ruthlessly waved towards the crowd that was charging towards the mountain peak. A line of fire rushed towards the crowd, and some of the people that were slow to react were immediately set ablaze; they were unable to extinguish the fire no matter what they did.

    Chapter 128 - Above the Peak of the Mountain (2)

    Seeing the ground burnt to ashes and not even their corpses remaining, everyone secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. In the Hundred Desolate Lands, a Xuanzun expert was already a top-notch expert. No matter which force one was in, such an expert would definitely be one of the top five people to be handed over.

    "You want to go to the Hundred Wastelands without paying? You bunch of ants think that with more people, you can get there?" The fire men despised people like gods.

    Everyone''s gaze turned to the fire man, their eyes filled with reverence, fear, and hatred.

    Just then, a figure walked out from the crowd. It was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, holding a three foot long scimitar, he wore a straw hat as if he did not see the fire person, and directly walked towards the defense line at the top of the mountain.

    Looking at the knife-wielding man, the fire man squinted. He could feel that Old Man was also a third stage Xuanzun. Even though they were both at the third stage of Xuanzun, the fire man felt a strong sense of danger from the Old Man.

    "Isn''t this the famous three foot long blade guy, Suo Balang? Why is he here?" An ice-cold voice rang out and the entire sky seemed to feel a chill from the voice. A man dressed in white slowly floated down from the sky. He held an ice longsword in his hand. Although the man did not intentionally release his aura, a chill still entered everyone''s heart.

    "Frigid Sword Boy, I''m going to the Hundred Wastelands to report to you?" The Old Man that was called Suo Balang said angrily when he saw the ice man.

    "I am afraid of you in the Cold City, but in the Hundred Desolate Land, there is a Hundred Beasts Sect standing behind me." In terms of authenticity, he could not compare to Suo Balang, but this Mainland had never belonged to the same world. He was alone at Hundred Cliffs Suo Balang, but the one standing behind him was the Hundred Beasts Sect, so he was not afraid of Suo Balang in the slightest.

    "Yo, it''s so lively." Everyone''s gaze turned towards a large tree not far away. Sitting on the branch of that tree was a The black-haired youth, and beneath the tree stood a golden-haired girl, and in her arms was a small beast that looked like her David''s Deer. Shockingly, it was Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang.

    "A mere Mystical King dares to speak, is he courting death?" Seeing that Xia Xuan, a mere Mystical King dared to speak, the fire man waved his hand, signalling the fire snake to rush towards Xia Xuan.

    Just as the fire man was about to turn his head and not look at Xia Xuan, a black scale lance suddenly appeared in front of Xia Xuan and blocked off his attack.

    A seemingly normal attack was definitely not something an ordinary Mystical King could defend against. Even with the help of flamethrower, it was also impossible for them to not react at all, and the most unusual thing was that Xia Xuan did not use any spiritual energy at all.

    No matter how he tried, he could not sense the abilities of the Flame Frost. In this Hundred Desolate Land, there was no ordinary person, which meant that Yan Shuang was stronger than him.

    "He is one of the eighth son of Cold City, Senior Suo Balang, does he have any intentions of cooperating with us for a while?" Xia Xuan ignored the cold sword and jumped down from the tree.

    Suo Balang naturally knew what Xia Xuan was thinking, with his pride, how could he give money to the younger generation, but he could do nothing about it. Now that he had Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, he was no longer worried, and nodded to Xia Xuan, saying, "You handle the inflammation, I''ll deal with the cold sword."

    "No problem." Xia Xuan laughed, a wave of spiritual energy burst out, holding onto the flamethrower and rushed towards the man named Yan Qi.

 C129

    Chapter 129 - Berserk (1)

    There was no lightning striking down from the sky, but there was a rumbling sound as countless small thunder snake s on Xia Xuan''s body scurried over. Before they could even react, they had already arrived in front of him.

    Even though Xia Xuan was extremely fast, he was still able to react, and the countless flames in his hands gathered together, grabbing towards the flamethrower.

    "Crack!" A sound of metal slicing through flesh rang out. The flamethrower broke through the flame that was wrapping around her hand, and the tip of the spear pierced into her hand, drawing a shallow line of blood.

    After learning the lesson, he no longer dared to underestimate his opponent. Countless spiritual energy in his hands instantly condensed into a flaming large knife, and the large knife blocked the attack in front of him. The flamethrower''s spear tip was pointed at the large knife, but the flamethrower was no longer as successful as it usually was. The spear tip slightly pierced into the large knife, but it did not pierce through the large knife.

    Xia Xia knew that after displaying the flash lightning, he would no longer be able to rely on his speed to catch the opponent unprepared. Although his attack was blocked, it didn''t mean that he would stop just like that.

    The silver snake on his body scattered but did not retract it, and in an instant, he leapt behind the flames. The flamethrower also turned around, and the large knife in the hands of the flames was also moved, with such a fast speed, it was unable to react to the incoming flames at such close proximity, and the fire large knife immediately left his hand.

    As the turning point of the flamethrower lance slashed towards the neck of the burning neck, the Yan Clan''s people, who were still in shock, saw the flamethrower lashing towards their own neck but were helpless.

    Just then, an ice awl suddenly flew over, the ice awl struck the tip of the flamethrower''s spear, although the ice awl was shattered, the flamethrower was bounced back because of it.

    "You better be serious." Han Jian bellowed at Flame Spear. If not for him constantly paying attention to the battle on this side of the flame, his little life would have been lost today.

    A three foot long scimitar suddenly slashed at the cold sword, causing the cold sword to have no choice but to pull out its sword to deal with it, but in this kind of distracted state, the cold smoke was simply no match for Suo Balang, and the blade''s light flickered, causing it to gradually fall into a disadvantageous position.

    Although it was the first time he had seen this sovereign, he could still hear his name. There were eight brothers in the Cold City and all of them were experts in scimitar s, and the eight of them had once defeated a ninth stage expert together. Although the sword skills of the Cold Sword were incomparable in the Hundred Beasts Sect and their cultivation had already reached the peak of the third stage, they were definitely not Suo Balang''s match.

    After understanding the situation with the cold sword, Inflammation immediately perked up, he had to quickly defeat Xia Xuan and go reinforcements the cold sword, if not today''s matter would not be easy to deal with.

    Before Xia Xuan could react, countless spiritual energy s gushed out of the body of the inflamed body. The flames had already turned into a shooting star and rushed towards Xia Xuan. The spiritual energy wrapped its fist up in three layers outside of the body.

    Although the flamethrower was a divine instrument, ninety percent of its power had already been sealed. The current flamethrower was unable to even break through the layer of spiritual energy in the inflamed hand. Therefore, he was still very alert about the inflammation punch, holding the flamethrower tightly in his hands. The binocular was like an eagle staring at the inflammation move, hoping to find a flaw in the inflammation.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan''s eyes flashed with a cold light, and silver snake s started to flow throughout his body. Not only did it not fear inflammation, it directly rushed towards it. When Xia Xuan arrived in front of Yan Shi Yan, the flamethrower in his hand fiercely attacked Yan Zhi.

    This spear strike was crafty under Xia Xuan''s extremely high speed, and just happened to catch all the flaws of the inflammation and the place that was hit was also fatal.

    Under the attack of the spear, the flames had no choice but to defend. Instead, they stopped attacking Xia Xuan and gathered all the spiritual energy at his throat. At the same time, he leaned backwards, barely dodging Xia Xuan''s spear.

    After his spear was dodged, Xia Xuan did not panic. With a violent press of his hands, the flamethrower was smashed towards the face of the flames once again. At this time, there was no time for Yan Shi Yan to dodge. The body of the flamethrower smashed into his face, immediately causing his face to become sunken.

 C130

    Chapter 130 - Berserk (2)

    After receiving the attack,''s body immediately fell to the ground, but he did not plan to stop his attacks. With a flash, the flamethrower disappeared, and in its place were two blood colored large knife s, which he could no longer use in the following battles.

    Xia Xuan''s figure flashed towards the burst of flames, the blood red large knife in his hands gripped tightly, ready to slash at any time.

    Although the inflammation at the moment had suffered from Xia Xuan''s spear, it was very clear that Divine Sun was very clear-headed. Seeing Xia Xuan rushing over, two fire large knife formed and blocked Xia Xuan''s attack with both blades in front of him.

    Xia Xuan''s twin blades accurately struck the flaming blades, but that did not mean that his attacks were over. The moment Xia Xuan''s dual blades cut into the flaming blades, his body suddenly turned, and the twin blades slashed again.

    Continuously spinning, Xia Xuan was like a wheel that continuously spun, his dual blades hacking into the burning dual blades, the speed of the fire spear that endured this kind of crazy hacking increased, becoming like a shooting star that ruthlessly smashed onto the ground.

    The two of them landed with such force that the dust was sent flying everywhere. People could not see what was happening inside.

    Not long after, the sound of blades clashing against each other rang out. As the dust gradually settled, everyone could vaguely see four streaks of saber light colliding against each other in the dust.

    When the dust completely settled, everyone was completely stunned, only to see Xia Xuan''s blood red dual blades frantically slashing at the flames. If there was a word to describe it, it could be said that Xia Xuan was in his current state.

    Under Xia Xuan''s hacking, the flames were completely powerless to retaliate. In the midst of constant retreat and defense, more than a hundred wounds had already appeared from top to bottom of his body. The Fifth Master of the Hundred Beasts Sect''s body was covered in inflammation, it was extremely shocking.

    Xia Xuan''s battle not only shocked those ordinary people, but even Han Jian and Suo Balang had stopped the battle in their hands and turned to look at Xia Xuan. They were equally shocked in their hearts: "This person ˇ­ Is he a madman!? "

    Seeing that he was continuously being pushed back by Xia Xuan''s attacks, Han Jian waved his hand, causing several ice cones to shoot towards Xia Xuan, but the moment the ice cones reached Xia Xuan''s side, they were immediately shattered by the waves of the dual blades, and the various ice cones were actually unable to even touch Xia Xuan''s body.

    Seeing this, the cold light in the cold sword flashed, the longsword in his hand surged, fiercely slashing at Xia Xuan from a few hundred meters away, releasing a huge wave of cold energy that rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    The cold Qi instantly appeared beside Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan was not afraid of the cold Qi, he did not need to take the attack head on, and before the cold Qi could strike him, he suddenly turned around, and his blood colored blades fiercely slashed onto the cold Qi, directly dispersing the cold Qi.

    Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Shi Yan''s figure flashed and pulled away from Xia Xuan. This girl who looked like he was just a fledgling had already left an unforgettable impression on him. This person was a monster!

    After the cold Qi was dispersed, Xia Xuan looked towards the cold sword. A terrifying killing intent burst out, as though he was blaming the cold sword for disturbing his own battle.

    Sensing Xia Xuan''s killing intent, even the cold sword could not help but feel a sense of fear. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said: "Little brother is truly too strong, I, Han Jian, admire you, so why don''t we stop? I''ll let you go, you''ll be brother in the future.

    Hearing the meaning behind the cold sword, Xia Xuan could not help but smile and said: "Sure." When Xia Xuan first came to the Hundred Wastelands, having many fake friends was better than having many mortal enemies. He immediately agreed.

 C131

    Chapter 131 - Ghostblades (1)

    After making an agreement with Han Jian, Xia Xuan led Yan Shuang and Suo Balang through the defense line, but the others could only watch on helplessly. It turned out that Xia Xuan did not intend to bring everyone away. In this Hundred Desolate Lands, everyone only needed to live for himself.

    While walking on the mountain slope of the huge mountain, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but look at Suo Balang with curiosity. In the Human Realm, there was an empire known as the Han Nation, and in the capital of Han Nation, there was a clan known as the Suo Jia s. This clan had always relied on their superior sword skills to survive in the Han Nation for a thousand years without collapsing.

    "Don''t look at me like that." Sensing Xia Xuan''s gaze, Suo Balang instantly felt uncomfortable, and immediately said: "May I know why Senior is here in the Hundred Desolate Lands?"

    Suo Balang obviously did not want to talk to Xia Xuan anymore, so he coldly replied: "Find someone."

    "Oh." Xia Xuan knew that Suo Balang did not want to say much, so he could only give an "oh" before walking away silently.

    "Bang!" While walking, Xia Xuan suddenly knocked on Suo Balang''s sheath, causing the blade to fly out.

    Regarding Xia Xuan''s actions, Suo Balang also did not talk about it. He leapt up and caught the scimitar that was flying out, then pointed at Xia Xuan and coldly said: "What are you doing?"

    Xia Xuan smiled, and said: "Since senior has already unleashed his blade, then this junior shall experience the Suo Jia''s blade technique." The spiritual energy condensed in Xia Xuan''s hands and actually transformed into a scimitar. The size of the scimitar was exactly the same as Suo Balang''s scimitar.

    Suo Balang also understood what was going on. Looking at the way Xia Xuan was fighting with Inflammation, he knew that this Teenage liked to fight.

    In fact, Suo Balang liked to fight very much as well, but he had something important to attend to so he did not want to waste any more time here. The scimitar returned to its sheath and turned to leave, no longer bothering with Xia Xuan.

    Looking at Suo Balang''s slowly disappearing figure, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sigh. He felt that it was a pity, but since others had matters to attend to, he didn''t bother them anymore.

    While walking, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang arrived at a bamboo forest. It was a very large bamboo forest, and there was a feeling of walking through a maze. When Xia Xuan walked inside the bamboo forest for three days, he was sure that it wasn''t because the bamboo forest was too big, but because he had gotten lost.

    Looking at the bamboo that he had marked long ago, Xia Xuan had a face full of bitterness. He didn''t know how many times he had returned to this place already.

    "Lu Chi." Yan Shuang hugged the little Zheng and said in disgust.

    "Hou." The Zheng let out a soft roar, as if agreeing with the words of Yan Shuang.

    "Sha sha", just as Xia Xuan was about to explain, a rustling sound suddenly came out from the bamboo forest, attracting Xia Xuan''s attention. He immediately looked towards the bamboo forest, and at the same time, the spiritual energy had already congealed on his palm.

    "Who is it?" Staring at the bamboo forest, Xia Xuan said vigilantly.

    "Rustle, rustle." Another wave of rustling sounds rang out as a woman around eighteen years old walked out from the bamboo forest. She looked gentle and weak, and although her appearance wasn''t that of a devastatingly beautiful woman, she was still as beautiful as a flower. A long scorpion braid was tied behind her back, making her look very harmless.

    "Who are you?" Although it was just a young girl, Xia Xuan did not let his guard down. On the contrary, the appearance of a young girl in this maze seemed very suspicious to him.

    "You must be lost." The girl looked gentle and weak, but she seemed to be strong when she spoke.

    "You know the way?" Xia Xuan was surprised that the woman would ask him this question, but he guessed that she had a reason for asking him.

    "I do." Her snow-white chin was pointed towards Xia Xuan, wanting to reveal a haughty attitude, but it was obvious that this was the first time the woman had displayed such an arrogant attitude, and a trace of immaturity could be seen from her face.

    "What condition?" There was no such thing as a free meal in this world. Xia Xuan knew that if a woman took the initiative to look for him, then there must be a reason.

    "Help me deal with a few people." The woman did not act pretentiously as she stated her condition.

    "What level is it?" He did not answer immediately as he was not reckless. Although he was not considered weak with his power, there was always someone above him. He was not so arrogant as to ignore everything.

    "They''re just a few Mystical King level hoodlums." The woman waved her hand as if she were talking about something very small.

    "Bring me there to take a look." Xia Xuan still did not agree. Although ordinary Mystical King were nothing in Xia Xuan''s eyes, no one could guarantee that the little girl was not lying.

    Chapter 132 - Ghostblades (2)

    The lady smiled, turned and ran along a small path. Seeing that, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang immediately followed.

    Not long after, Xia Xuan discovered that the bamboo in his surroundings was becoming lesser and lesser, and he believed that they were not far from the exit.

    After following the lady for nearly an hour, Xia Xuan finally saw the exit. It was just that there were a few vicious looking men at the exit staring at the lady.

    Xia Xuan could sense their strength easily. There were seven of them in total, three of them had Profound King of the Fourth Rank, three Sixth grade Profound King s and one seventh stage Mystical King.

    They were indeed just a few Mystical King s, but when Xia Xuan saw them, he could not help but frown, and looked at the lady with slight anger. The seven Mystical King s were indeed considered a group of delinquents in Xia Xuan''s eyes, but Xia Xuan clearly saw a badge on the chest of the seven people. The black badge had the picture of a scorpion with three black stars shining on it.

    Xia Xuan naturally knew what that badge represented. It was a badge that only a three star sect had. Although it was only seven little Mystical King s, behind them stood a three star sect. One had to know that a of a three star sect was at least a seventh grade Xuanhuang. Xia Xuan didn''t want to offend a three star sect upon reaching the Hundred Barbarians.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to open his mouth and reject his request, the woman''s eyes rolled twice. He then stood in front of Xia Xuan and spoke to the seven Mystical King: "You are all finished.

    Just as he was about to explain, the sole seventh stage Mystical King among the seven of them waved his hand, saying, "Get rid of him."

    The six of them were extremely fast, and in a few breaths of time, they had arrived before Xia Xuan. They did not give Xia Xuan any chance to defend himself, and directly attacked him one after another.

    Xia Xuan also felt helpless. Since the woman had already brought him to the exit and the seven of them were so unreasonable, he could only offend them.

    The flamethrower appeared in Xia Xuan''s hand in a flash, and swept the flamethrower in front of them fiercely. The attacks of the six people were actually all blocked by this sweep.

    After blocking six people''s attacks, Xia Xuan didn''t stop at all. With a flash, he appeared behind one of the Sixth grade Profound King s and swung the flamethrower ruthlessly at the back of his head, immediately knocking that person unconscious.

    When the other five people saw Xia Xuan injuring their comrades, they immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan, but this time, Xia Xuan did not bother with the five of them, and rushed towards the seventh stage Mystical King in a flash. It could be seen that the five of them were led by this seventh stage Mystical King, and he understood the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king.

    had already appeared in front of the seventh stage Mystical King, and the flamethrower was already at his neck. The man did not even have time to react before he felt a sharp thorn piercing through his skin, causing a chill to rise in his heart, believing that Xia Xuan would pierce through his throat the moment he moved.

    "Kid, we are from Poison Scorpion Sect, I advise you not to do anything rash, if not, it will be difficult for you to stay in Poison City." The man who was pressed against Xia Xuan''s neck was not scared by Xia Xuan at all. In his eyes, Xia Xuan was just a strong Mystical King, such strength was not a match for the Poison Scorpion Sect.

    "I don''t care who you are. Three seconds. Scram." Xia Xuan did not even bother being polite with the man. Her cold voice sounded and a faint killing intent was emitted from her body.

    "Brat ˇ­"

    "Three," Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Xia Xuan had already counted out a number. At the same time, he slightly exerted some force on the flamethrower in his hand, making it seem a little deeper.

    The man clenched his teeth, he did not expect Xia Xuan to be so tyrannical, but since he was in someone else''s hands, he could only say: "Withdraw."

    The others looked at each other, obviously not knowing what to do, but the words of the man were still clearly a bit heavy. After hesitating for a bit, the five of them helped the other person, who had been knocked out by Xia Xuan, up, before walking off into the distance.

    Seeing that, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hands returned to Yan Shuang''s side.

    "Brat, Scorpion Gate will come find you." The seventh stage Mystical King spat out a few words before he left, and then flew away.

 C133

    Chapter 133 - Poison City (1)

    Xia Xuan turned to look at the lady, anger evident in his eyes, this clever and eccentric girl actually dared to play with him.

    Sensing Xia Xuan''s gaze, the lady immediately hid behind Yan Shuang and revealed half of his head. With his two big eyes blinking, he looked like a startled little rabbit.

    "You ˇ­" Seeing her like this, although Xia Xuan was furious in his heart, he was unable to curse her out. The girl in front of him seemed to really be a pure little girl.

    With a light sigh, the anger in Xia Xuan''s heart dissipated. He no longer pursued the girl, and turned to return to his own destination.

    Poison City was Xia Xuan''s first target, and it was said that all the people in the city were experts in using poison, and in the city, there was a profession known as poison master. They could always kill people thousands of miles away, and invisibly take their lives, to the point that they would rather die than live, for many people, poison master was a terrifying existence.

    When he arrived at the entrance of Poison City, Xia Xuan was not happy because he had reached his destination. Instead, there was a hint of anger on his face. He turned towards the lady who was holding onto the flame frost and following them, Xia Xuan immediately roared out: "What are you doing following me?"

    Being shouted at by Xia Xuan, the lady was immediately dissatisfied. She withdrew her harmless appearance and stuck out her small chest as she said: "You have offended the Poison Scorpion Sect, so you should not have gone to the Poison City. Do you know that the Poison Scorpion Sect is a three star sect?"

    "I know." Xia Xuan replied lazily, then turned and walked into the city, ignoring the girl.

    Seeing that, your son immediately chased after Xia Xuan, and used all his strength to pull him back, saying: "Three star sect''s Sect Leader s are at least seventh stage Xuanhuang experts, do you not want to live?"

    Xia Xuan still did not pay attention to the woman. No matter how the woman pulled at him, he could not stop, and actually carried the woman into the city.

    "Do you know that the Poison Scorpion Sect is a branch of the Poison Scorpion Sect and the Five Poisons Sect is a two star sect?" Seeing that Xia Xuan was determined to enter the city, he told him the background of Poison Scorpion Sect, hoping to scare him into changing his mind.

    Xia Xuan finally stopped in his tracks and looked towards the girl with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. For a harmless looking girl to appear in the Hundred Desolate Lands and be chased and killed by a three star sect, this was definitely not a simple matter.

    "What''s your name?" Xia Xuan asked.

    The woman was startled, obviously not expecting Xia Xuan to suddenly ask her name. She blushed slightly and said: "My name is Miao Linger, you can call me Ling''er."

    Just as she finished speaking, her legs had already left the ground and Xia Xuan had already picked her up before walking towards the Poison City.

    "What are you doing? Put me down." Miao Linger shouted loudly, but Xia Xuan did not move and walked straight into the city.

    Upon entering the Poison City, a pungent smell filled the air. This Poison City was worthy of being called the heaven of the poison master, even the air was filled with dense poisonous gas, if one was not careful, they would be poisoned.

    At this time, within Poison City, there was a strange scenery that attracted the attention of the passersby. They saw a The black-haired youth carrying a woman, and the woman kept shouting at the Teenage, but the Teenage acted as if he did not hear his, and continued to walk forward.

    Her creamy skin and delicate face, every time she smiled, it would cause the surrounding bystanders to drool from her mouth. Everyone hoped that they could become the small beast that the woman was carrying.

    Xia Xuan brought Miao Linger to a tavern, found a remote corner, and then put Miao''er down.

    A Scophthalmus rushed to the side of Xia Xuan and the others, and the first sentence he said was different from what the other tavern''s Scophthalmus s said, he only heard them say: "This guest, I wonder if you would like to eat poison?"

    "Not eating." Xia Xuan''s face was covered with a few black lines. This Poison City was truly special, he immediately asked if people took poison when he opened his mouth.

    "What would you like to eat, sir?" Scophthalmus asked again.

    "Three catties of beef and a pot of wine, plus two specialty dishes." Xia Xuan said.

    "Alright." The Scophthalmus replied and ran towards the kitchen of the tavern.

    Miao Linger did not scold him because of Xia Xuan''s actions. Instead, he sat on the chair and sulked.

    Xia Xuan did not care about Miao Linger, and took the little Zheng from Yan Shuang''s hands, taking a few spirit beast from his storage ring and placing them next to his mouth.

    The little Zheng was no longer polite, with a few bites, it swallowed all the endosperm and then belched out in a human like manner, falling asleep on Xia Xuan''s leg.

 C134

    Chapter 134 - Poison City (2)

    Seeing the little Zheng that was in deep sleep, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel distressed. The Little Zheng was already one year old, but other than its rapid growth when it was born, the little Zheng''s body had never grown at all.

    Xia Xuan knew that the little Zheng''s body would grow along with his strength, thus Xia Xuan had already changed the little Zheng''s food into spirit beast s, but no matter how many endosperm they ate, they would not be able to increase their strength in the slightest.

    The surrounding customers all looked at Xia Xuan in shock. Previously, the weakest endosperm Xia Xuan took out was a Mystical King Ranked endosperm.

    The most incomprehensible thing was still Little Zheng. With so many powerful endosperm, how could this small beast that no one knew how to withstand so much power?

    "The people here give you three seconds to get lost." A voice rang out and then the entire tavern turned dark. One could see a young man at the entrance of the tavern with a face full of arrogance. Behind him were several tall and strong men, their bodies blocking the light.

    When the surrounding customers saw the young man, fear appeared in their eyes. They all quickly stood up and left the tavern as if they were fleeing for their lives.

    In just three seconds, only Xia Xuan and the other two remained in the tavern.

    When he saw Yan Shuang and Miao Linger, his binocular lit up. He strode to Yan Shuang and Miao Linger''s side and said: "I wonder where these two ladies have come from.

    "F * ck off." Both Yan Shuang and Miao Linger did not speak, and only heard Xia Xuan''s ice-cold voice.

    "Kid, do you know who I am?" Only then did the azure-dressed man turn his gaze towards Xia Xuan, but in the eyes of the azure-dressed man, Xia Xuan was just a Profound King of the Fourth Rank. If such a small fry like him dared to be so arrogant towards him, he would probably be killed today.

    Xia Xuan did not bother with the light robed man, and only moved the little Zheng away from his lap. Yan Shuang was the only family he had in his previous life, even if he had to suffer all the humiliation himself, he would not let her suffer even a little bit.

    "Kid, I am the son of the Sect Leader of the Venomous Serpent Sect. Are you prepared to let me die?" The green clothed man''s face was somewhat savage. A few tall and strong men had already arrived beside him.

    With the entrance of the well-built and strong men, the tavern felt extremely small. Every man''s body was bent. Even so, their heads would stick to the ceiling.

    "Kill him." The azure-dressed man waved his hand, causing the tall and strong man s to extend their huge hands and grab at Xia Xuan.

    Right at this moment, Xia Xuan had just placed the little Zheng on the side, and several large hands were already grabbing towards him. Under Miao Linger''s fearful gaze, Xia Xuan''s entire body flowed, and in a flash, she appeared behind those big men.

    A bloody light flashed past, and a deep bloody wound appeared on the back of each of the large men''s head. All of the brawny man s had lost their lives, and with a boom, they fell onto the ground.

    There was a good rule in the Hundred Wastelands: there was no rule. As long as one had enough strength, even if they killed everyone, no one would blame them.

    My Venomous Serpent Sect is attacking Stellar Martial Gate right now. If you dare kill me, my father will definitely not let you go after defeating Stellar Martial Gate. " When the green clothed man saw Xia Xuan''s binocular glowing red, a wave of fear arose in his heart. The Teenage in front of him might actually kill him.

    "Oh, I''d like to see that." Xia Xuan''s face revealed a terrifying smile. The flamethrower slashed across the air and a bloody wound appeared on the green-clothed man''s neck. After that, he lost his life and crashed onto the ground.

    "Let''s go to Stellar Martial Gate." After killing the azure-dressed man, the flamethrower disappeared in a flash. Xia Xuan turned and walked out of the tavern.

    Chapter 135 - Aunt (1)

    Poison City was widely known to be divided into two great regions. One side was the Poison Domain led by the Five Poisons Sect, while the other side was the Martial Domain led by the Stellar Martial Gate.

    Today, more than half of the Qi Cultivators in the entire city were in the air. Everyone was watching this unparalleled battle.

    Today, the Five Poisons Sect had begun a decisive battle with the Stellar Martial Gate. Stellar Martial Gate, who had always been in a weak position, had already retreated and could not come out.

    Even the Imperial Palace s of some small empires would not be weak in the slightest. The building was surrounded by a tall wall, but the Wall s at this time were riddled with holes, it was obvious that they had experienced many more attacks.

    The Stellar Martial Gate, a sect which was suddenly established seven years ago, had grown at a rapid pace. In just three short years, it had grown into a three star sect, then in just two years, it had grown into a three star sect, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Five Poisons Sect.

    At this time, everyone in Stellar Martial Gate was panicking, and their hearts were all filled with despair. Perhaps after today, Stellar Martial Gate would no longer exist in this world.

    Outside of Stellar Martial Gate, tens of thousands of Qi Cultivators surrounded the entire Stellar Martial Gate. Every single one of them had a trace of killing intent on their faces.

    It had to be known that the Five Poisons Sect had an old Sect Leader, whose strength had already reached the peak of the third stage of Xuanzun. After ten rounds of fighting, the Stellar Martial Gate was severely injured, which was why the entire Stellar Martial Gate had no choice but to retreat and defend the headquarters under the attacks of the Five Poisons Sect.

    "Sigh, do you think the Stellar Martial Gate can still hold on?" one of the spectators in the sky asked the person beside him.

    "I think it''s already been three days. Attacking three times a day, even if the people of Stellar Martial Gate are all made of steel, they probably won''t be able to hold on." He had been observing for the past three days, the resistance of the Stellar Martial Gate was getting weaker and weaker.

    One of them was a woman with a red snake waist, her figure was extremely enchanting, and she wore a qipao, giving people a kind of fiery and beautiful feeling. The other man was tall and wore a fur coat, as if he was living through winter.

    "It''s about time. Attack the city." The alluring woman suddenly said as she walked towards the back of the army. Every twist of her body would attract countless gazes.

    "siege!" The tall and strong man roared loudly, his voice carried by the spiritual energy and traveled very far. Whether it was the army or the people from the Stellar Martial Gate, they could hear him clearly.

    "Rumble ~ ~ ~" Following the command of the man, the entire army started to move. Rumbling sounds came out, and even Stellar Martial Gate began to tremble from the sound.

    Inside the clan, a lady wearing a set of armor stood on the wall, looking at the army that was rushing towards his, then looking at the exhausted sect disciples, brow frowned.

    Did the heavens really want to kill me, Xing Wu?

    "Release the arrows." Although everyone here was a Qi Cultivator, there were still many methods for Stellar Martial Gate to quickly rise in power. When the Soldiers raised their defenses, the arrows instead exploded, causing the spiritual energy''s energy waves to spread and a large hole to appear. As for Soldiers, he said that he had been blown away without a trace.

    Under the obstruction of the rain of arrows, the army''s attack was indeed stopped, but not long after, another grievous news arrived. After using up all the arrows, the lady looked at the messenger kneeling on the ground, and couldn''t help but bite hard. In three days, the sect had finally used up all of their stored arrows. This grievous news was definitely fatal for the current Stellar Martial Gate.

    The lady''s gaze turned towards the charging army. The binocular was already bloodshot and there were only two options left. One was to surrender and fight to the death.

    "Everyone, get ready to fight me." The lady''s entire body was filled with spiritual energy, a longsword had already been formed and was pointing straight at the army, her deep voice sounding out.

    "Kill ˇŞ ˇŞ" The gates of the Stellar Martial Gate opened, and countless disciples rushed out, all of them holding Weapons s in their hands. When a sect was facing a threat of destruction, the disciples of the sect would always release their shocking power, although it was only a last ditch attack, but this power was not to be underestimated.

 C136

    Chapter 136 - Aunt (2)

    The lady activated her spiritual energy and directly rushed to the front of the sect disciples, leading a group of disciples fearlessly rushing towards the army.

    The two armies clashed, the sounds of battle and weapons clashing rang out, and the lady''s Qi instantly exploded out, reaching the Second class Xuan Zun realm. Although the woman''s Qi was intermittent, she still continued to fight in the army.

    Under this kind of dying counterattack, the army''s footsteps were stopped, and a large number of Soldiers s actually continued to retreat.

    When the snake-girl and the tall and strong man in the army saw the woman leading the Soldiers to resist with all her might, the corners of their mouths raised up slightly.

    She was a Sect Leader of the Venomous Serpent Sect with a high Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor and was good at controlling poisonous snakes. Although her body was fiery hot, there were very few people who dared to covet her, because she was truly too vicious, so vicious that it would cause people to be afraid.

    No one knew the man''s name, but he was known as Scorpion Shadow. He was a Sect Leader of the Scorpion Sect and his strength was also at the Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor. Although he looked upright and decisive on the surface, everyone knew that he had done evil deeds behind his back that could be said to be disdained by tens of thousands of people.

    The two of them activated their spiritual energy s at the same time, and in a flash, they arrived beside the woman who was fighting with her life on the line.

    The pike was like a scorpion tail. The spearpoint soldier was not straight, but was like a scorpion tail. Judging from the strange purple color on the tip of the lance, one could guess that the lance tip was extremely poisonous.

    Without holding back in the slightest, the scorpion tail pike directly flew towards the woman, and the spiritual energy condensed on the spear body, bringing about a sound of wind breaking.

    Just as the lady cut open the throat of a Qi Cultivator, she sensed the sharp sound of gunfire, and immediately turned around and welcomed the pike with her sword.

    Ping! The tip of the sword clashed with the tip of the spear and the two spiritual energy clashed fiercely against each other. Although the lady''s strength had reached the Second class Xuan Zun, her spiritual energy kept on clashing, and she was unable to gain the upper hand against the scorpion shadow.

    At this moment, the Hairy Ball suddenly appeared behind the woman, and a long iron whip appeared behind it. The iron whip was formed from countless diamond-shaped metal pieces, and each piece of the iron piece emitted a cold light. The blood-red iron piece looked even stronger than the poison on the Scorpion Shadow pike.

    The lady was naturally able to sense the whereabouts of Fa Ji and she immediately used her strength to push Xie Xing Ying back. After which, she turned her body and welcomed the longsword toward the iron whip.

    When the longsword struck the iron whip, it was unable to stop the iron whip. Like a poisonous snake, the iron whip circled a few times in the air, and then rushed towards the woman.

    Before she could block him, the woman used both hands to grab at the iron whip. As the iron whip was in her hands, blood already started to flow out and in an instant, the woman''s lips turned black.

    At this moment, Scorpion Shadow had already grasped his pike and was charging towards the woman again. The sharp tip of the spear was already heading towards the woman.

    The disciples of the Stellar Martial Gate were currently filled with despair. If the Sect Leader were to be defeated in this kind of battle between two armies, then the outcome could be imagined.

    Just as the pike in Xie Xing Ying''s hand was about to pierce the lady, another one appeared. It was a pike with a dragon pattern on it, coincidentally the scorpion-tailed pike lived here.

    Numerous surprised gazes turned to look at the man holding the black scale lance. It was a The black-haired youth.

    "You are ˇ­" The lady looked at The black-haired youth in a daze. At the moment, The black-haired youth had his back facing him, so he could not see his face.

    "Auntie, do you remember me?" Teenage turned his head to look at the lady, her face had a brilliant smile, it was a familiar face, even though her face had changed a lot in the past seven years, he was still able to recognize him at a glance, it was his nephew, Xia Xuan.

    "Xuan, Xuan''er!" The woman said with a shaky voice. In these seven years, when she was in her prime, she came to this bloody place. She spent all her good times on building the Stellar Martial Gate, and during these seven years, she was constantly thinking about her family. She never expected that her nephew would appear in front of her during this crisis.

    "Little bastard, do you want to die?" The scorpion shadow attack was blocked, but his heart was instantly enraged, the pike quickly retreated, and then the spiritual energy gathered and pierced towards Xia Xuan.

    "Be careful!" Seven years had passed, and the woman naturally did not know how strong Xia Xuan was currently. Seeing Scorpion Shadow attacking Xia Xuan, her heart was raised, but she could not do anything about the matter.

    Another shocking scene occurred. The flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand swung out fiercely and the pike in Scorpion Shadow''s hand was sent flying. The flamethrower''s sharp spear tip had already reached Scorpion Shadow''s neck.

 C137

    Chapter 137 - Withdrawal

    Everyone present was shocked, they all stopped their fights and looked at Xia Xuan in shock. The attack of a Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor was easily deflected by him, and with a flip of his hand, he subdued him.

    At this moment, Xie Xing Ying was motionless, as the pike at his neck could take his life at any moment.

    "Take out the antidote. Otherwise, I don''t mind having the Five Poisons Sect transform into the Four Poisons Sect." Xia Xuan said coldly.

    She naturally understood what Xia Xuan meant. His aunt had been poisoned by her, if there was no antidote, he would definitely die within six hours. Fa Ji took out a small medicine bottle from her storage ring and threw it to Xia Xuan, and said: "Release him."

    Xia Xuan took the bottle, but without even looking at it, he threw it fiercely onto the ground. The flamethrower penetrated into Scorpion Shadow''s neck slightly, and said angrily: "Don''t be smart, give me the real antidote."

    The Goblin gingiva bit down, not expecting this young Teenage in front of it to be so hard to deal with.

    Under that helplessness, the lady took out a small bottle from her storage ring. Just as he was about to throw the bottle to Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan suddenly said: "Eat one."

    "Creak creak" The gingiva bit her lips as she glared at Xia Xuan with his cold, beautiful eyes. At this time, he really had the thought of hacking Xia Xuan into a thousand pieces, but he couldn''t do anything as his Scorpion King was being threatened by Xia Xuan. If he lost a Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor Ranker for an injured Stellar Martial Gate, how would the Old Sect Leader punish his?

    She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and poured out a pill from the bottle, causing the pill to shatter into pieces in her mouth. She really wanted to use Xia Xuan as a pill and ruthlessly crush him into pieces.

    After swallowing the pill, the beautiful woman threw the bottle back to Xia Xuan.

    Receiving the bottle, Xia Xuan withdrew the flamethrower in his hand, while the lady also let go of Ji Hao''s iron whip. With a flash, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Stellar Martial Gate City.

    Xia Xuan anxiously fed the pill to the girl, only to see her lips quickly regain its original color, and Xia Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

    "Wall walking tiger, Heaven Devouring Beast, why are you still hiding?" Seeing that Xia Xuan had retreated with the lady, he shouted out to an unknown location.

    As the voice fell, two powerful Qi surged out from the army. A fat and skinny man rushed out from within the army, and the two looked at Xia Xuan as if he was their prey.

    The fat one was called Heavenly Devouring Beast, and was a Sect Leader of Poison Toad Sect. The two of them had the same strength, and just in case, the old Sect Leader had sent the two of them out as well.

    "Interesting." Looking at the distant Xia Xuan, the Wall Elemental Tiger couldn''t help but rub its chin. The strength of the Four Great Sect Leader s were similar, if Xia Xuan could easily defeat Scorpion Shadow, then he must be stronger than him. Towards this kind of expert, he had a kind of desire, a desire to fight against him.

    "Let''s attack together." The little eyes of the Heaven Devouring Beast narrowed. Due to the fact that it was too obese, it was impossible to tell whether it was smiling or not, but a strong killing intent could be felt coming from its body.

    The two of them did not even wait for Fa Ji and Scorpion''s Shadow and channeled their spiritual energy into two streams of light, charging straight towards Xia Xuan.

    "Tch, two idiots." Seeing the two of them rushing towards Xia Xuan, the lady in red cursed. He could only look at Xie Xingying in the eye, and then the two of them also activated their spiritual energy s, aiming straight at Xia Xuan.

    "Protect my aunt." Xia Xuan said to the surrounding disciples, and then, the spiritual energy began to madly revolve, not afraid of the Four Great Sect Leader s in the slightest.

    In a split-second, Xia Xuan arrived in front of the wall tigers. The flamethrower in his hand was immediately flung out, and the spear''s body became a spiral. The air was completely torn apart, as if it was a flash of blood.

    The wall tiger thought that it was extremely fast, so it tilted its body and the flamethrower passed by its face. Just as it was proud of successfully dodging the flamethrower''s attack, the flamethrower stabbed towards Xie Xing Ying who had yet to react.

    The flamethrower pierced through Scorpion Shadow''s shoulder and brought his shadow down to the ground. In fact, Xia Xuan could have hit the wall tiger, but in his eyes, the scorpion shadow was much more of a threat than the wall tiger.

    It was not that the Wall Elemental Tiger couldn''t guess what Xia Xuan was thinking, but this brat actually dared to look down on him!

    "Brat, are you ready to receive the baptism of anger?" At the same time, a door appeared behind him. However, there were no patterns on the door, only scorpions, snakes, toads, gecko, and centipedes. There were no patterns on the door, only scorpions, snakes, toads, gecko, and centipedes.

    Legend has it that the poison master believe in the Poison God. Their powers were bestowed by the Poison God. Even the Four Symbols diagram had been transformed into the Five Poisons Sect.

    The Five Poisons Sect was the source of the poison master''s power. With the appearance of the Five Poisons Sect and the worship of thousands of poisons, the Five Poisons Sect could be said to be the ultimate technique of all the poison master.

    "He used a powerful skill the moment he started." In his previous life, he could be considered to be on good terms with the Poison God. He had personally witnessed the Poison God deal with a demon and even Xia Xuan was impressed by the Poison spiritual energy that filled the world.

    Of course, the wall tigers in front of him were incomparable to the Poison God.

    "Unfortunately, he isn''t as powerful as the Poison God." With that, Xia Xuan waved his hand and the flamethrower flew back to him. He could vaguely see Scorpion King crawling out from the ground with much difficulty.

    Once the flamethrower entered his hands, Xia Xuan drew circles around it in the air non-stop. Following the circulation of the flamethrower, the air started to gather towards the flamethrower.

    As the air slowly condensed, a green gas actually condensed and appeared, it was originally filled with dense poisonous gas, if it was inhaled, no matter how strong Xia Xuan was, he would die in this place.

    Just as Xia Xuan was condensing the poison mist, the hairpin had already appeared behind Xia Xuan. The iron whip in his hand spiraled in the air like a poisonous snake, and the sharp whip blade pierced towards Xia Xuan''s back.

    Xia Xuan''s back seemed to have eyes, he did not even need to look to guess that Fa Ji would sneak an attack from behind, with a strange turn of the spear tip in the flamethrower''s hand, it just so happened to hit the iron whip that was thrusting towards him.

    Being hit by the flamethrower, the iron whip seemed to have lost all control, it actually disobeyed her command, and the blade of the whip pierced towards her.

    After blocking the lady''s sneak attack, Xia Xuan did not stop at all, only seeing that the flamethrower had suddenly split into two, one going up, the other going down.

    Everything was according to Xia Xuan''s calculations. A giant mouth that was thirty thousand meters wide appeared beneath Xia Xuan, and if one were to look carefully, they would realize that it was the mouth of a giant toad.

    As if it was afraid of the flamethrower, the giant toad''s body quickly shrank when it saw the flamethrower flying over. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a fat man.

    Seeing the bottomless abyss that was pierced by the flamethrower, the Heaven Devouring Beast gulped down a mouthful of the Saliva. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise, if it was his mouth that was stabbed, he would probably be crippled today.

    Luck would not descend at the same time. Although the Heaven Devouring Beast had dodged the flamethrower''s attack, it was different if it was changed to another side.

    Above Xia Xuan, there was a gigantic gecko. Because it was too big, the gecko did not have time to dodge the flamethrower''s attack, the gecko that was pierced by the flamethrower immediately scattered away. The gecko was revealed, the flamethrower had already pierced Xia Xuan''s shoulder, and could feel that the tiger''s Qi was extremely weak and sluggish.

 C138

    Chapter 138 - Xia Muning (1)

    The wall tiger''s aura that was hit by the flamethrower quickly weakened, and its body was swaying. It was actually difficult for it to even maintain flight.

    Hairy # 1 was trying hard to control the iron whip, and there was even a black scale lance stuck into the wall tiger''s shoulder. On the other hand, the Heaven Devouring Beast was staring blankly at the bottomless abyss on the ground, and its small eyes revealed a hint of fear.

    This Teenage, actually dared to fight against the Four Sect Masters without being at a disadvantage. Was this really something that a Teenage could do?

    With a surge of fear in his heart, Scorpion Shadow no longer had any thoughts of fighting. In a flash, he arrived beside the wall tigers, grabbed the wall tigers and shouted at the Heaven Devouring Beast and Fa Ji, "Quickly retreat!" After which, his figure flashed as he flew towards the distant sky.

    The Heaven Devouring Beast did not hesitate at all as it turned around and chased after Scorpion Shadow. The young lady tightly gripped her steel whip as her heart was filled with unwillingness. However, she could only grit her teeth and chase after Scorpion Shadow.

    Xia Xuan did not chase after them, he was not stupid, amongst the four of them, neither the Heaven Devouring Beast nor the Hairpin were injured, only the gecko was heavily injured, and Scorpion Shadow was only slightly injured. He did not have much of an advantage, and blindly catching up would mean that, with Xia Xuan''s Mystical King strength, he would most likely die, and the reason why he could defeat the four of them was all because of his own battle experience.

    When the Five Poisons Sect disciples on the ground saw that the four great sect masters had fled, they immediately ran away as well. After a series of rumbling sounds, the entire battlefield no longer had the figure of a Five Poisons Sect disciple.

    Seeing the mess on the battlefield, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but frown, the crisis had not passed yet, but this time it was only the four sect masters, the next person who would be coming next would probably be the old sect master.

    Calming himself down, Xia Xuan activated his spiritual energy and flew in the direction of the city gate.

    At this moment, Yan Shuang and Miao Linger had already appeared beside Xia Xuan''s aunt''s side. The surrounding sect disciples did not show any signs of drooling just because of their appearances; A strength that could easily tear apart space, just how strong was this?

    Falling to the ground, Xia Xuan saw Miao Linger holding her aunt''s hands, with a very intimate look, he felt that the two of them knew each other from the start, and that they seemed to be very close to each other as well.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had returned, everyone surrounded him and carefully checked on him. Only after confirming that he was not injured, did they heave a sigh of relief.

    "Aunt, this is Yan Shuang, my younger sister." Xia Xuan said to Yan Shuang and the lady, "This is my aunt, Xia Muning, you can call her aunt too."

    Xia Muning looked at Yan Shuang. She was a little worried about Yan Shuang, not only because she was strong, but also because she had an unknown origin.

    "Aunt, I came all the way here and you''re not letting me in?" Xia Xuan looked at Xia Muning who was sizing him up, and spoke to ease the awkward situation.

    "Look at my memory. Let''s go in and chat." Xia Muning slapped his forehead, and led Xia Xuan and the other two into the sect.

    Inside Xing Wu Tong, Xia Muning was seated at the head of the hall while Miao Linger was standing beside her like a maid. Other than Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, there were a few other higher ups of the Stellar Martial Gate.

    It had to be said that Xia Muning''s abilities were not ordinary, and there were quite a few Xuanhuang experts present. Although they had all just broken through the Xuanhuang realm, to be able to make a sect possess such strength in seven years, was already considered a miracle for a woman.

    "Xuan''er, why did you suddenly come to this hundred wastelands? "Could it be ˇ­" Xia Muning wanted to say something, but she did not say it out loud.

    Xia Xuan naturally knew what Xia Muning wanted to say. Most of the people who came to Hundred Wastelands were people who committed heinous crimes, and the reason why she came to Hundred Wastelands was because she slaughtered a sect in one go, which was why he came here alone. Now that Xia Xuan had appeared, he was naturally worried that Xia Xuan would follow in her footsteps.

    "Aunt, don''t worry. Xuan''er has always been very obedient. She''s only here to train and experience." Xia Xuan said.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, the heavy burden in Xia Muning''s heart was finally lifted.

    "Then what about your sister?" Xia Muning''s gaze turned towards Yan Shuang. She was not at ease seeing a strong, unknown person by Xia Xuan''s side.

 C139

    Chapter 139 - Xia Muning (2)

    "To be honest, Xuan''er was a great general of the The Divine Realm in her previous life, and this is my younger sister from my previous life, the God of Time." Xia Xuan thought that there was no need for him to hide anything from his aunt. If there were a few people that Xia Xuan could trust in this life, then Xia Muning was definitely one of them.

    "Plop!" The higher ups of the Stellar Martial Gate all knelt onto the ground and kowtowed to Yan Shuang as if their lives depended on it. They were on equal footing with a Divine General, and to ordinary people, this was a capital offense.

    Xia Muning and Miao Linger were so shocked that they could not even close their mouths.

    "Get up, as long as big brother is here, my identity will forever be a mere mortal." With a light wave of her hand, a wave of spiritual energy gently helped everyone up.

    "Cough cough." As a Sect Leader of a sect over the years, Xia Muning''s mental state already far surpassed that of an ordinary person''s. While the others were still in shock, she had already recovered her rationality, and coughed to rouse everyone from their stupor.

    "Sect Leader, the Five Poisons Sect''s side..." A Old Man in his sixties suddenly said. If not for Xia Xuan''s arrival today, it was likely that the Stellar Martial Gate would not exist anymore. Although Xia Xuan had forced the Four Great Sect Leader s to retreat, everyone could tell that Xia Xuan''s strength did not stop there. Of course, if Xia Muning could persuade Yan Shuang to attack, none of this would be a problem.

    "We''ll discuss this matter tomorrow. Xuan''er is already exhausted from the journey, you can all disperse now." Xia Muning did not try to persuade Yan Shuang to make a move, she had already expressed her intention with one sentence.

    It was night, and Xia Xuan was lying on a rooftop after dinner. Tonight, the sky was full of stars, and the moon was especially round. Moonlight shone down, illuminating Xia Xuan''s face.

    A graceful figure appeared beside Xia Xuan. It was Xia Muning.

    Although she was Xia Xuan''s aunt, she was only twenty-four years old. At this age, she was when she was born, and wearing a suit of armor, she had a wild and untamed beauty, making her look even more enticing. Her snow-white skin was like winter''s snow under the moonlight, and Gao Song''s chest never gave people a visual impact.

    Xia Xuan knew that Xia Muning had arrived, but he still kept his eyes closed and allowed the moonlight to shine on his face.

    "Your father... Are you all right? " Xia Muning was the first to speak, her beautiful eyes looking at the distant horizon, her eyes sparkling.

    "He often mentions you." Xia Xuan finally opened his eyes, but there was a rare look of sorrow in them.

    Seven years ago, Xia Xuan was still only a six year old child. At that time, everyone in the entire empire, including him, had a goal of worshipping, and that was to reach the peak of the eighth stage of Mystical King at the age of seventeen.

    Unfortunately, due to an impulse, Xia Muning annihilated a member of the clan. Xia Muning, who had committed a heinous crime, had no choice but to come to the Hundred Wastelands. During these seven years, both Xia Xuan and Xia Cha missed her dearly.

    "It''s been seven years. I wonder if anyone still remembers me." Xia Muning looked at the moon in the sky and couldn''t help but sigh. In these seven years, how could she not miss her home?

    "Come back with me in two years." Xia Xuan closed his eyes again, but his words resounded clearly.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s face which was clearly outlined under the moonlight, Xia Muning was absent-minded for a moment. Then, a smile hung on his face and tears finally flowed out uncontrollably.

 C140

    Chapter 140 - Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium

    It had been half a month since Xia Xuan repelled the Four Major Sects. During this half a month, the Stellar Martial Gate had been on high alert, but the expected Five Poisons Sect army had not arrived. Other than a few disciples of the Five Poisons Sect who occasionally secretly observed from the shadows, the entire Five Poisons Sect seemed to have suddenly abandoned its assault and stopped its movements.

    On this day, as Xia Xuan was walking in a garden with a stomach, he did not know how Xia Muning did it, but Stellar Martial Gate spent a lot of money on both design and construction materials.

    Looking at the scenery in the garden, Xia Xuan noticed that there was a Old Man standing next to the pond in the garden. Old Man''s hair was not white, but a kind of purplish black, as though hundreds of different kinds of poison were mixed together.

    Xia Xuan did not feel a single fluctuation of spiritual energy from the Old Man''s body. Logically speaking, an ordinary person should not appear in the Stellar Martial Gate, nor should such a person appear in the Hundred Desolations.

    Xia Xuan was curious in his heart, so he walked to Old Man''s side. He noticed that Old Man was staring at the pond, and following Old Man''s gaze, he only saw two fish playing inside the pond, and the water in the pond was rippling, causing people to feel relaxed and happy.

    "Swimming fish and swimming water, old mister is so elegant." Xia Xuan looked at the fish, and could not help but laugh.

    Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, a water snake suddenly appeared and quickly wrapped itself around one of the fish s. Just as the other fish was hovering around to save its companion, another water snake appeared and wrapped itself around that little fish.

    "Two weak fish s can survive together, but I didn''t know that they are weak like chicken ribs in front of a strong poisonous snake." When Old Man saw the water snake devouring the small fish, there was not a single ripple in his eyes. His voice also contained no emotion as he spoke.

    Xia Xuan''s eyes looked at the Old Man, and he vaguely knew who the Old Man was. At the same time, he also guessed the purpose of the Old Man coming here.

    "In this half a month, I finally know how you used your Profound King of the Fourth Rank''s strength to defeat the inflammation in your body." Old Man said again.

    Xia Xuan laughed, and a trace of vigilance appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Old Man, and laughed: "With just one person, he annihilated an empire, and then established the Five Poisons Sect in the Hundred Wastelands, his strength is at the peak of the third stage Xuanzun, his methods are ruthless, everyone fears him, and he is known as the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium."

    "A mere fallen Deicide, no matter how strong his combat experience is, it would never be able to make up for the difference in level, right? My respected Lord God of Death. " Old Man''s gaze towards Xia Xuan was already filled with sinister intent. Purple Black Spiritual Qi surged around her body, and the plants within ten meters around him withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they were no longer living beings.

    Xia Xuan was already biting his tongue tightly by now. He did not expect the Five Poisons Sect Sect Leader to be so bold as to actually come to Stellar Martial Gate alone, and from the looks of it, its imposing manner was prepared to deal with him.

    "Aren''t you the fish in the pond right now? No matter how you struggle, you are only a plaything in my hand." After saying that, the Old Man waved his withered hand, and a purple Black Spiritual Qi immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Seemingly at the same time Old Man waved his hand, a silver snake was already running around Xia Xuan''s body. Without waiting for Zi Black Spiritual Qi to hit him, it created several afterimages and appeared a kilometer up in the sky in a blink of an eye.

    The flamethrower appeared in his hands. Xia Xuan waved his hand fiercely towards Hundred Poisons, and a sharp spiritual energy blade immediately rushed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    With regards to Xia Xuan''s attack, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s eyes were filled with disdain. With a flash of his body, the spiritual energy''s sharp blade hacked onto the ground, and Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium appeared a kilometer above Xia Xuan.

    "In half a month, I finally got your information." The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium looked at Xia Xuan like he was looking at an ant. In his eyes, a mere reincarnated Deicide would not be his match no matter how experienced he was in battle.

    Back then, Xia Xuan could only rely on the divine instrument to fight against the Mysterious Sect Rankers in the Myriad Spirit Realm. But now that he had no divine instrument and was able to use the soul, he could only rely on his stable fighting experience to defeat at most one expert who was at the peak of the Second class Xuan Zun. If it was the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium instead, he would not be able to win.

    Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium started to revolve both his hands, and countless purple Black Spiritual Qi started to surge out, like a black cloud that covered the sky and the sun.

    Following the appearance of the black cloud, many experts from Stellar Martial Gate walked out from their houses. This extremely strong and revolting odor and power, this entire Poison City would only be owned by that Old Man, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    Yan Shuang, Xia Muning and Miao Linger appeared on top of the Wall, looking at the two people fighting in the sky, and feeling extremely worried.

    "I''ll go help him." Xia Muning said quickly before he activated his spiritual energy and flew up into the sky.

    Before Xia Muning could even fly very far, five figures appeared on the path Xia Muning was on, four of them were the Four Great Sect Masters, and another was a man dressed in a black robe. The man''s aura was stronger than even the Four Great Sect Leader s, and had actually reached the level of a first stage Xuanzun.

    "The five great sect masters are all here, they really think highly of me." Xia Muning stared at the five people in front of him, and couldn''t help but tighten his grip on the longsword.

    The Five Poisons Sect was divided into a main sect and four major factions. Xie Xing Ying, Wu Xing Hu, Tian Shi and Fa Ji were the Sect Leader s of the four major factions. This Black Man was the Sect Leader, the centurion of the main sect''s Five Poisons Sect.

    "I don''t know how much your injuries have recovered." The hundred foot general looked at Xia Muning with a drooling look, and spoke with a weird tone.

    "It''s enough to deal with you." Xia Muning said while clenching her teeth. After that, she held the longsword and directly rushed towards the hundred foot general. Her aura was no longer intermittent and she revealed the aura of her Second class Xuan Zun, startling the hundred foot general.

    Although Yan Shuang would not help Xia Xuan, she would still help him heal his injuries.

    The five great sect masters were shocked by Xia Muning''s sudden burst of strength. The current Xia Muning should still be in a injured state, and such a serious injury could not be treated with any sort of medicine. The five of them were flustered and anxious. In a moment of desperation, five Five Poisons Sect appeared before they blocked Xia Muning''s attack.

    A thousand meters in the air, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium and Xia Xuan were watching the battle between Xia Muning and Xia Xuan, feeling extremely shocked at Xia Muning''s sudden recovery. Other people might not know how serious Xia Muning''s injuries were, but the person who had personally injured Xia Muning knew that Xia Muning''s internal organs had all been beaten into a dislocated position.

    "Lord God of Death sure is good. He can even treat such a heavy injury." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium turned to look at Xia Xuan. He naturally did not know of Yan Shuang''s existence and only thought that Xia Xuan had used some sort of method to heal Xia Muning''s injuries.

    "No matter how many tricks I have up my sleeve, I can''t compare to you, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. For the sake of a junior like me, you actually snuck into the Stellar Martial Gate. You truly flatter me." Xia Xuan laughed, but that did not mean he underestimated the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. On the contrary, Xia Xuan looked at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium with a dark gaze.

    "Foolish brat, today, this old man will show you what it means to be bullied by dogs when a tiger falls to the ground." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium snorted coldly.

    The black clouds formed by the spiritual energy covered the entire sky above Poison City. The black mass of the spiritual energy pressing down on the sky gave off a stifling feeling, and the eyes of the entire city''s people that were looking at Dark Cloud were filled with fear. The Xuanzun expert was actually this terrifying.

 C141

    Chapter 141 - Hundred Herbs of War (1)

    Seeing the black mass of the purple Black Spiritual Qi dark clouds, Xia Xuan could not help but grit his teeth. This opponent was indeed a little tricky to deal with.

    Xia Xuan was naturally not the type of person who would sit and wait for death when facing a strong opponent. With a turn of the flamethrower in his hand, countless spiritual energy had already attached themselves to it, and the silver snake was moving about on his body.

    Xia Xuan had a certain understanding of the poison master. They were experts in using poison gas to attack others, but poison gas would take a period of time to spread. Thus, the first thing he needed to do when fighting the poison master was to close the distance and not give them the chance to spread the poison gas.

    The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium naturally knew what Xia Xuan was thinking, but he did not quickly pull apart the distance. It was not because his speed was inferior to Xia Xuan''s, but rather, to poison master of his level, there was simply no need at all.

    "Stupid." With a snort, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium waved his withered palm in front of him. Countless purple Black Spiritual Qi s turned into a shield in front of him, the tip of the flamethrower''s spear pointed at the shield, but the sharp flamethrower did not pierce into the shield at all.

    After blocking Xia Xuan''s attack, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium moved his hand again, and the spiritual energy started to spin again. The spiritual energy turned into four swirls around Xia Xuan, and when the swirl started to spin, a ripping force frantically rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    In just a few blinks of an eye, Xia Xuan''s clothes were already in tatters, as numerous scars appeared on his body.

    Obviously, Xia Xuan had been poisoned.

    "You dare to fight with me with such little ability? You overestimate yourself." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium looked at Xia Xuan with disdain, his face full of arrogance.

    The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium did not dare say that his poison was incomparable to the poison master Realm, but it was still extremely strong. With Xia Xuan''s current situation, it would not even take two hours before he died.

    Xia Xuan''s lips had already turned purplish black. He could sense that a wave of poison was circulating within his body along with the spiritual energy, and due to the existence of the poison, the spiritual energy in his body was already circulating slightly clogged up.

    "In that case, I have nothing to be afraid of." After he muttered that, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the surrounding spiritual energy whirlpools, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

    The following scene not only shocked the spectators in the city, but also the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    Xia Xuan''s skin suddenly turned silvery-white, a pair of large silvery-white hands grabbed at the spiritual energy whirlpools, and with a force of his hands, he actually tore apart the spiritual energy whirlpools.

    "You madman." Looking at Xia Xuan who was gasping for air, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium binocular glared at him. Xia Xuan would speed up the spread of the poison soon, so at this rate, he could only hold on for an hour at the most.

    "What is it? Scared? " Xia Xuan''s face looked somewhat sinister, the eyes he used to look at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium were blood red, and within his voice, there was not only killing intent, but also a trace of madness.

    "Hmph, you are just an ant struggling in death. What is there to be afraid of?" Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium snorted coldly, then waved his hand again. This time, all of the black clouds in the sky revolved, and the black clouds that covered the sky swirled like a vortex, as if doomsday had arrived.

    With regards to the black clouds, Xia Xuan did not care at all. The silver snake s were wildly running around his body, and a noise like glass shattering sounded out.

    "Fourth stage of the flash lightning: Mad Thunder." Xia Xuan''s voice came out, he suddenly disappeared, and with a rumbling sound, a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, but it was not aimed towards the ground, but at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan''s flash lightning had finally broken through and reached the fourth stage. It was said that the speed at which he cultivated the fourth stage of the flash lightning was slightly faster than the speed of real Lightning.

    Today, the speed at which Xia Xuan erupted was truly astonishing, even Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium had not reacted in time, when Xia Xuan was right in front of him. The flamethrower in his hands and the air friction actually ignited into a flame, the fiery red spear tip aiming straight for the center of Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s brows.

    In this kind of situation, even with Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s strength, he was unable to dodge it. In a moment of desperation, he could only extend his withered palm and grab at the flamethrower.

    "Chi!" The flamethrower pierced the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s palm ruthlessly, and fresh blood flowed onto the flamethrower, dyeing it red.

    At this time, the clouds finally gathered, the dark clouds turned into a spiral, and the spiral horn fiercely rushed towards Xia Xuan''s back.

 C142

    Chapter 142 - War Hundred Poison (2)

    Xia Xuan naturally knew what was happening with the black cloud, but when he tried to dodge, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium held onto the flamethrower tightly. No matter how hard he tried to struggle, he couldn''t pull it back.

    At this time, Xia Xuan already had no time to abandon his spear and escape. Seeing the black cloud that was charging towards him, Xia Xuan could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to summon the Soldier King''s Soul, a figure appeared between Xia Xuan and the black cloud. That person was holding a three foot long scimitar.

    "Break!" The figure softly muttered one word and the dark clouds that filled the sky actually exploded.

    Xia Xuan was stunned, he did not know why this person would appear here. That three foot long scimitar, that sharp blade technique, only had one person that Xia Xuan recognized, and that was Suo Balang.

    "They really did come." Seeing Suo Balang, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium did not reveal a trace of surprise. Instead, it was as if he had already known Suo Balang would appear.

    "Where''s Ling''er?" Suo Balang slowly turned around, a murderous aura surging from his body. From the look of his eyes, he looked even more terrifying than a wild beast.

    "If you had come a little later, I would have caught her." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was not afraid of Suo Balang in the slightest.

    "Have you forgotten me?" Hearing the two of them talking, Xia Xuan could guess what was going on. No wonder a little girl like Miao Linger appeared in the Hundred Wastelands, she was the adopted daughter of the legendary Suo Jia''s eight brothers.

    Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s gaze turned towards Xia Xuan. When he saw Xia Xuan''s actions, he couldn''t help but stare at him blankly.

    Just as Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was about to look over, Xia Xuan''s hands suddenly twisted, and the flamethrower started spinning.

    You have to understand that right now, the flamethrower had still pierced into the palm of Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, and following the rotation of the flamethrower, the flesh on the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s palm also turned around.

    "Ahh!" The twisted flesh didn''t feel good. Intense pain came from the center of his palm, causing Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium to immediately scream miserably.

    Suddenly, he broke free from the flamethrower and retreated quickly. The hand that was pierced by the flamethrower couldn''t help but tremble.

    "Aren''t you going to run away when you see me?" The scimitar in Suo Balang''s hands pointed at the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. He was very curious as to why the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium did not flee after he appeared, nor did he feel even the slightest bit of fear.

    "Hmph, half a month ago, I already received news of your arrival. Suo Balang and the mysterious Teenage have forced the Flame Spear and the Cold Sword to retreat, and this matter has been spreading like wildfire." Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s lips were already white from the pain, but he still didn''t have the slightest intention of escaping. Instead, a smile hung on his face.

    "Do you think I would have been unprepared if I had known you were coming?" The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium continued, "It''s already a year for this old man to stay at the third level of Xuanzun. I was actually breaking through my cultivation during this half a month."

    After he finished speaking, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s aura suddenly increased, and instantly reached the Fourth rank Xuan Lord. The terrifying purple Black Spiritual Qi once again surged out, and the spiritual energy that surged out of her body once again transformed into black clouds.

    "I even prepared a huge gift for you all." At this time, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium had a sinister smile on his face.

    Hearing what the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium said, Xia Xuan and Suo Balang immediately felt that something was amiss. Looking towards the ground, they saw countless poisonous creatures crawling out from the ground, and the poisonous creatures started to bite at the people who were bitten, and the people who were poisoned to death within a few minutes.

    Seeing the endless stream of poisons coming out from the ground, Xia Xuan and Suo Balang were both shocked. This Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was really vicious, to the point that they had prepared so many poisons in order to deal with them.

 C143

    Chapter 143 - Blitzkrieg

    Xia Xuan and Suo Balang looked at each other, they could see a hint of seriousness in each other''s eyes.

    "Little brother, I''m afraid we have to work together again." Suo Balang said first.

    "I am deeply honored." Xia Xuan replied with a smile. Although Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium s who had reached Fourth rank Xuan Lord were no longer someone that Xia Xuan and Suo Balang could defeat easily, to be able to fight alongside Suo Balang was a rare opportunity for Xia Xuan.

    The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time. spiritual energy s revolved on their bodies at the same time and then rushed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium at the same time. The scimitar crossed paths with the flamethrower and sliced towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s neck like scissors.

    Even though there was only a difference of one step between a peak three-star Xuanzun and a four-star Xuanzun, there was actually a world of difference. Right now, he was not even afraid of Xia Xuan and Suo Balang at all, even if he were to face both of them at the same time.

    With a slight movement of the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s palm, countless spiritual energy turned into a five feet long large knife and welcomed Xia Xuan and Suo Balang without the slightest bit of fear.

    BOOM! The three forces collided head-on with the fear of the spiritual energy, causing even the dark clouds in the sky to dissipate a bit, followed by a loud sound of collision. The sound of the collision shook the hearts and minds of the people, and a slight distortion appeared in the air, although the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was fighting against two alone, he was not at all disadvantaged.

    "Senior, can you trust me?" Xia Xuan said to Suo Balang as he desperately resisted the huge force that came from the large knife.

    "If you want to do something, then go ahead and do it." Suo Balang had originally been stunned by Xia Xuan''s words, but he did not know why, but when he saw the resolute look in Xia Xuan''s eyes, an indescribable sense of trust arose in his heart, which immediately followed after.

    Obtaining Suo Balang''s trust, Xia Xuan turned to look at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. Surprisingly, Xia Xuan retracted his flamethrower, and transformed into a bolt of lightning as he rushed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    When the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium saw Xia Xuan rushing towards him, he was also startled. Controlling the large knife with one hand, he waved his other hand in the air and another large knife condensed.

    When the large knife was just a few centimeters away from Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan suddenly changed his direction. With a twist, he bypassed the large knife and rushed towards the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, his speed increasing instead of decreasing.

    Xia Xuan''s speed could be said to be fast, but no one could react to the sudden turn in the battle, especially after he dodged the large knife''s sudden acceleration, everyone was stunned.

    In practically an instant, Xia Xuan had already arrived in front of Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, the flamethrower in his hands fiercely stabbed at his chest, and only when the flamethrower was half an inch deep did Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium catch it. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s mouth as he stared at Xia Xuan. He never thought that the Teenage in front of him would actually have such an ability.

    Just then, Suo Balang suddenly came over, the three foot long scimitar released a cold light, and rushed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    Originally, when Xia Xuan''s flamethrower stabbed at Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium had already given up on controlling the poison aura.

    The onslaught of attacks from the front and back could be said to be forcing Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium into a desperate situation. He would either grab onto the flamethrower and be chopped to death, or be stabbed to death by the flamethrower while he was trying to defend it.

    In this kind of situation, the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium would naturally not choose death. In the face of death, he would rather give up some things.

    BOOM! An explosion sounded as Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s arms suddenly exploded.

    The power of a Xuanzun Ranker''s self-detonation was extremely terrifying, even Xia Xuan and Suo Balang who were not weak were unable to withstand the power and were immediately blown away.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s body flew off into the distance. He was clearly at a disadvantage in the current situation, so he wanted to escape.

    When Xia Xuan, who had stabilized his body, saw the escape Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, he could not help but laugh, and muttered: "I already do not have the time to chase after you."

    Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, an enormous figure slowly rose up from behind him. The gigantic figure had the aura of a king among weapons, and was shockingly the soul of the Soldier King.

    The moment the Soldier King''s Soul appeared, it grabbed towards Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. Even though the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was very fast, he could not compare to the Soldier King''s Soul. In just an instant, the Soldier King''s Soul had fiercely grabbed him.

    "Kid, if you kill me, you won''t get the antidote." Being captured by the Soldier King''s soul, Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s eyes immediately revealed fear, but he did not think that Xia Xuan would kill him. One must know that his poison was still flowing in Xia Xuan''s body.

    The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, and said: "Goodbye."

    The Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was frightened, he saw that Xia Xuan''s eyes had become extremely dark, a terrifying killing intent was spreading all over his body, Xia Xuan was really going to kill him!

    "Humph!" "Come, I believe my treasures have killed everyone in Stellar Martial Gate." The current Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium was no longer afraid of life or death, he looked like he had gone insane. As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the Stellar Martial Gate, he believed that the poison he prepared would definitely kill everyone in the Stellar Martial Gate.

    The scene that appeared in front of Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium stupefied him. At this time, the Stellar Martial Gate was being protected by a huge light shield, and no matter how he was attacked by the poisonous creatures, they were unable to break through the light shield.

    Just at this time, the gigantic hand of the Soldier King''s Soul used a bit of force and wrapped around the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium. Only the sound of flesh being crushed could be heard and the state of the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium''s death could not be seen.

    With the death of the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, the five great sect masters no longer had the will to fight.

    A suction force suddenly sucked the Five Great Sect Leader s in, and before anyone could escape, they were all sucked into the hands of the Soldier King''s Soul.

    Looking at the five faces that were filled with fear, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sneer, and then turned around and flew in the direction of the Stellar Martial Gate.

    BOOM! A sound of fists clenching, Xia Xuan knew that the Five Poisons Sect was done for.

    Following the death of the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium and the five sect masters, the poisonous objects on the ground lost control of their bodies and turned around like a tide and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    Xia Xuan and Suo Balang slowly landed on the Wall. Just as everyone was about to pick up the hero, Xia Xuan staggered and wanted to fall in front of everyone.

    Just at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Xia Xuan, supporting him with a pair of jade-like hands.

    Xia Xuan lifted his face, his lips had already completely become purplish black. There were countless small purplish black bulges on his face, and even his eyelids were about to close.

    "I still have to rely on you." A smile barely appeared on Xia Xuan''s weak face, and his voice was barely audible.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s appearance, Yan Shuang could not help but feel pain in her heart. Her jade-like hand quickly danced, and a spiritual energy that was a hundred times richer than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged out, surrounding Xia Xuan. Then, the spiritual energy floated out a little purplish black liquid from Xia Xuan''s body.

    With the poison being extracted, Xia Xuan''s expression finally returned to normal, but because he was still in a coma due to exhaustion.

    "Big brother is very tired. Let him rest for a bit." Yan Shuang caressed Xia Xuan''s hair, a trace of gentleness in her eyes. This idiot brother, exactly how much he wanted to go to the The Divine Realm to take revenge.

    "Disperse." Xia Muning looked deeply into Xia Xuan''s eyes. Although his eyes were red, she still pretended to be strong and say that.

    The surrounding disciples of the Stellar Martial Gate all reluctantly left after hearing what Xia Muning said.

    At this moment, Suo Balang arrived at Xia Muning''s side, and whispered into his ear: "Where is Ling''er?"

    Xia Muning turned his head to look, and this time, she discovered that Miao Linger was nowhere to be seen, she could not help but shake his head, and said: "This child, is probably hiding somewhere."

 C144

    Chapter 144 - Cooperation (1)

    was currently lying on a long bed, and the occasional fragrance of flowers was drifting in and out of the room, causing Xia Xuan to open his eyes slightly.

    The room was spotless and the air was fresh, as if it was breakfast.

    "Creak." Xia Xuan slowly opened the door to the room and saw a garden in front of him. Yan Shuang, Xia Muning, Suo Balang and Miao Linger were all sitting around a stone table.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had woken up, the four of them hurriedly welcomed him, all of their faces full of smiles.

    With the support of the flame frost, Xia Xuan sat on a stone bench and took the cup of tea offered by Miao Linger. Gently taking a whiff of it, he exhaled, and then exhaled all the foul air that had accumulated in his body over the past few days.

    Letting out a breath of air, Xia Xuan clenched his hand. Feeling the surging power in his body, he couldn''t help but smile.

    "The battle this time will not be a loss." As he spoke, a wave of spiritual energy gushed out of Xia Mu''s body. The strength of the spiritual energy had actually reached the level of Profound King of the Fifth Rank.

    "Little friend is truly gifted." Suo Balang cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan.

    "I don''t dare." Xia Xuan returned a smile, then turned his gaze to Miao Linger and asked: "May I know if this is your daughter?"

    Suo Balang was startled, he did not expect Xia Xuan to ask such a question, and immediately replied: "My daughter Miao Linger, because she is too mischievous, she ran to this Hundred Desolate Land, if not for Mu Ning protecting her, she would have been captured by the Five Poisons Sect."

    Saying that, Suo Balang stared at Miao Linger, scared to the point that he shrunk his head back.

    "To tell you the truth, this junior came to the Hundred Wastelands to gain experience. Would Miss Ling''er be willing to accompany me?" Xia Xuan said again.

    "This ˇ­" Suo Balang was stunned yet again. When he looked at Miao Linger, he just happened to see her pleading eyes, and was at a loss as to what to do.

    "Senior, you can consider it for a while. I only want to say that with Lady Ling''er''s physique, it will only be good for her if you follow me." Xia Xuan smiled slightly. From the first time they met, Xia Xuan had suspected that Miao Linger''s physique was extremely special, and there were no more than three people who had this kind of physique.

    "Alright, but you have to protect Ling''er well. Otherwise, even if you are the reincarnation of the Deicide, the eight brothers will not let you go." As he said that, Suo Balang''s face became extremely fierce, as though he was a blade emitting a sharp cold Qi.

    After he finished agreeing on the matter with Miao Linger, Xia Xuan turned to look at Xia Muning.

    "I''m very tired and would like to rest for two years. For these two years, all the Stellar Martial Gate s will be taking over the position, so you can take care of it." Without waiting for Xia Xuan to speak, Xia Muning had already stretched himself and placed his hands behind his head, then left the garden.

    Looking at Xia Muning''s slowly leaving figure, Xia Xuan''s heart was moved.

    Xia Muning knew that Xia Xuan would sooner or later become the Deicide again, but it was impossible for him to become enemies with the Celestial King with just his strength, so he needed a type of leadership ability. He only needed enough followers to resist the Celestial King, and the Stellar Martial Gate was a good opportunity to train.

    Xia Xuan knew that Xia Muning had operated for an entire seven years to obtain the current Stellar Martial Gate, so for him to be able to directly hand over the position of sect master to Xia Xuan, wasn''t that a type of trust as well?

    Xia Xuan was proud to have such a close relative.

    In a room in the Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Xuan and Xia Muning were seated on the highest seat. There were a few clan elders in the sect below, and when the elders heard that Xia Muning wanted to pass the position of sect master to Xia Xuan to represent for two years, they were all so surprised that they couldn''t close their mouths. However, when they heard that Xia Xuan wanted to turn the position of sect master into Xia Xuan, they immediately became pleasantly surprised.

    There were no clans, no clear divisions of powers, only a school led by a single person, but even such a sect would have to be divided into one to three levels. There were even legendary sects, and with the Hundred Poison Sect''s strength, they could only be called a two star sect in the Hundred Wastelands, as for the legendary sect''s Sect Leader s, they were at least at the Mysterious Sect level.

    Xia Xuan had said that he wanted the Stellar Martial Gate to become the strongest sect in all of Desolate Land, so as the current elder of the Stellar Martial Gate, he would naturally benefit from it.

    Of course, they would not believe Xia Xuan, because there was a Divine General Ranker by Xia Xuan''s side. Let alone becoming the strongest sect in the Primordial Era, it would be easy for him to destroy the entire Hundred Desolate Land, much less the Stellar Martial Gate.

    Chapter 145 - Cooperation (2)

    Just as the elders were excited by Xia Xuan''s promise, a knock on the door sounded out.

    "Come in." Xia Muning said to the outside.

    The door was pushed open, and a Stellar Martial Gate disciple hurriedly walked in, gasping for breath at the door: "Hundred Beasts Sect Cold Sword Yan requests an audience."

    "What!" Regardless of whether it was Xia Muning or the other elders, all of them were shocked. The Hundred Beasts Sect was barely able to squeeze into the ranks of a first-rate sect in the Hundred Wastelands, and this kind of powerful sect would usually not have any good news.

    "Don''t worry, they''re looking for me." Xia Xuan knew why Xia Muning and the rest were so shocked, and immediately laughed. After which, he left with the messenger.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure, the elders looked at each other. Xia Xuan had just arrived at the Hundred Wastelands Continent, but he had built a first-rate sect. It seemed that a super sect would really appear in the Hundred Wastelands within two years, and that sect was called ˇŞ Stellar Martial Gate.

    Xia Xuan followed the disciple to the Hall, where the guests were welcomed by the guests. At this time, there were two males in the Hall, the Cold Sword and the Inflammation.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had arrived, Han Jian and Yan Qi immediately stood up to greet him. They cupped their hands and laughed: "Little brother is truly amazing, to be able to exterminate the Five Poison Sect within a few days after coming to the Hundred Wastelands. It seems that I did not offend you back then was a wise decision."

    Han Jian''s words were filled with respect.

    "How can that be? A mere Five Poisons Sect is like an ant to the Hundred Beasts Sect. This Xia''s battle record is not even worth showing off." Xia Xuan said humbly, "I wonder which gust of wind blew the two of you into my Stellar Martial Gate?"

    "I wonder if we can talk somewhere else?" The cold sword looked at the surroundings and disciples occasionally walked past. It was obvious that this was not a good place for a conversation.

    Xia Xuan also looked around, and immediately understood what Han Jian meant, and the three of them stopped moving, only after a few minutes did one of the disciples who brought Xia Xuan here realised that the three were just afterimages.

    The disciple couldn''t help but break out in cold sweat. The strength of these three people was truly terrifying.

    At the peak of a tall mountain not far from Poison City, three figures stood tall and looked at the bustling Poison City.

    "Speak, what is it?" Reaching this point, Xia Xuan no longer bothered with pleasantries, and the tone of his voice became colder. Towards these people who escaped to the wastelands after committing such heinous crimes, Xia Xuan did not have a good impression of them. Of course, Xia Muning was an exception.

    "Compared to Brother Xia, you should know about the ancient battle." Once Han Jian said that, Xia Xuan immediately glared at him, of course he knew which battle Han Jian was referring to.

    A hundred million years ago, the Tian Lin Continent had a God. Humans, Demons, Spirits, Beasts Five Realms.

    The reason why Hundred Desolations was not managed right now was not only because it was at the border of the five realms, but also because of the holy war between the five realms a hundred million years ago. It could be said that the holy war between the five realms was incomparably fierce, after the battle, only the The Divine Realm still retained half of her strength. And the location of the Sacred War was the place Xia Xuan was at right now, the Hundred Desolate Lands.

    The reason why the Five Realms did not want to manage the Hundred Wastelands was because they did not want to recall the great battle that had caused the other four realms of The Divine Realm to be so weak.

    "A relic appeared not long ago." When Han Jian saw Xia Xuan''s surprised face, he could not help but laugh and ask.

    "Ambitious, I like it." Xia Xuan naturally knew what the Cold City meant. In the Hundred Wastelands, there would often be remains left behind by people from the past, and the items that the Rankers from hundreds of millions of years ago were all priceless treasures. As for Han Jian, he probably wanted to cooperate with him to explore the ruins.

    Although the Hundred Beasts Sect had squeezed into the ranks of first-rate sects, there was still a huge difference from a real first-rate sect. It was wise to work with a few strong warriors at a time like this, and this cooperation target was naturally Xia Xuan, who had defeated the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium.

    "Go back and tell your sect master, my Stellar Martial Gate will definitely be there the day we enter the ruins." Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Han Jian Yan was overjoyed.

    "I hope that this trip to the ruins will be a success." The cold sword said and disappeared with the flames in a flash.

    Looking at the blue sky, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but let out a long talk. Even he didn''t know clearly about the battle that happened 100 million years ago.

 C146

    Chapter 146 - Old friends

    Whether it was the disciples or the upper echelons of the Five Poisons Sect, they had all been taken care of. The entire Poison City had become the territory of the Stellar Martial Gate, and even the name of the Poison City had been changed to Martial City.

    Standing at the side of the Stellar Martial Gate''s training grounds, Xia Xuan looked at the serious and bitter face of Miao Linger.

    Suo Balang had said that he must pass down the Suo Jia''s blade technique to Miao Linger before he left, this made Miao Linger extremely sad.

    Looking at the scene of Suo Balang lecturing Miao Linger, Xia Xuan could not help but shake his head, and then turned to look at Xia Muning and Yan Shuang who were slowly walking over.

    "Brat, why did you want me to find that person? You''ve truly exhausted me." Xia Muning walked over with a face full of resentment.

    Xia Xuan laughed, the spiritual energy turned into a reclining chair, and quickly invited Xia Muning to sit.

    "I''ve found the person for you. Here''s the address." With that, Xia Muning passed a piece of paper to Xia Xuan, and asked: "How did you know that strange person? You must know that even I do not dare to offend him. "

    Xia Xuan took the slip of paper and said: "After the fall of the Deicide, there was more than one reincarnation, and I almost went to the The Divine Realm to seek revenge."

    With that, Xia Xuan turned and left.

    The Golden Sand City was the wealthiest city in the Hundred Desolate Lands. Legend said that the houses in the Golden Sand City were all made of golden sand and were paved with golden sand. Although the cultivation of the majority of the people here wasn''t that high, they were extremely wealthy.

    As Xia Xuan walked along the streets of Golden Sand City, what appeared in front of him was a shop. The shop wasn''t particularly large, and written on the door plaque were four golden words: Myriad Treasures Shop.

    Although he had yet to enter the shop, he could feel an ancient aura emanating from it. Looking at the golden signboard, Xia Xuan felt a sense of nostalgia, he did not know how long it had been since he last visited the shop, he did not expect that after so many years, the shop would actually move to Golden Sand City.

    When he walked into the shop, he found no shelves lined with gold or silver. Everything was made of wood, but this didn''t mean that the shop was poor. On the contrary, it was the richest shop in the entire Golden Sand City.

    The shelves of this shop were all made of a type of wood called Heavenly Cold Wood, and the rarity of this wood was even higher than diamonds. Furthermore, the toughness of the wood could only be barely broken with the full power of the Mystical King Rankers, and to create such delicate shelves, one had to be a Xuanhuang Ranker to do so.

    Not only that, there were very few goods in the shop. They were scattered around the shelves. They looked like they didn''t care, but every single one of them was priceless.

    There was no light in the shop, and the windows were closed. Inside the shop, there was a rocking chair that was slowly shaking, making creaking sounds. Perhaps it was because there was a chill in the air of the store, but the moment he walked in, he could feel a chill.

    Xia Xuan did not walk towards the rocking chair. Instead, he strolled around the shop, and occasionally picked up an item from the shelf. After making a few rounds, he put it back on the shelf.

    "I''ll buy it if I touch it." A hoarse voice came out from the rocking chair. Because the chair was facing Xia Xuan, it was not possible to see who the person seated there was.

    Xia Xuan picked up another exquisite jade carving, played with the items, and said: "Once upon a time, all of these things were mine."

    "There''s no reason to take back the spilled water." The rocking chair suddenly stopped shaking. A figure slowly stood up, but from the figure''s back, it did not look old.

    Looking at the young figure, Xia Xuan could not help but stare blankly.

    "He''s not dead yet." A hint of nostalgia surged out of Xia Xuan''s eyes, as the scenes of his previous life appeared in his mind. Every time he died, this old friend of his would always want to save him, but in the end, it would be useless.

    "I''m afraid this is the last time I''ll see you. You don''t have much longevity left." When the figure turned around, a young face could be seen. However, this face seemed to have been through many vicissitudes of life, as if it was thousands of years old.

    "Hug ˇ­"

    Before Xia Xuan could say anything, the man waved his hand and interrupted Xia Xuan as he looked outside the shop with his sharp eyes.

    "Young Lord, it''s best not to go. That person isn''t that easy to mess with." A slightly anxious voice rang out.

    "What are you afraid of? I''m a young Sect Leader of the Golden Sands Sect, I don''t believe that he can do anything to me." A savage voice rang out, and then the three of them walked into the shop.

    One of them was dressed in a golden silk robe and had jewelry hanging all over his body. His face was full of arrogance. The other two were dressed in black and always bent over men.

    When the arrogant man entered the shop, he immediately looked at the shop owner, his face had a hint of playfulness, and laughed: "I presume this is the famous ten thousand year old treasure shop owner, Mr. Zhou Zhileng."

    "Please go back as we are not receiving guests today." When Zhou Zhileng saw the three of them, the brow frowned.

    There was a sect in the Golden Sand City called the Golden Sand Sect. It was barely able to squeeze into the ranks of the second-grade sects. Of course, Zhou Zhileng was not afraid of this mere second grade sect.

    "Do you know who I am?" When the man heard what Zhou Zhileng said, his face immediately filled with anger, and he shouted sternly, "I am the young Sect Leader of the Golden Sands Sect, do you believe that I can close you down within minutes?"

    "Boom!" Suddenly, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand fiercely stabbed in, causing the floor to shatter.

    The man was startled, the Heavenly Cold Wood was not so easy to destroy, but Xia Xuan being able to easily break it, was truly shocking.

    "Scram within three seconds." Xia Xuan did not hold back at all, a terrifying killing intent surged out from his body, the ferocity of the binocular was extremely terrifying.

    "Who are you? How dare you ˇ­" The man had yet to finish speaking when two people beside him hurriedly stopped him.

    "What are you doing? Do you not want to live?" The man was very angry at the actions of the two of them. He immediately spoke angrily to the two of them.

    Being scolded by the man, the two of them immediately shrank their necks and said softly: "Young Master, this is the Stellar Martial Gate."

    "Who''s in Stellar Martial Gate, don''t make a turn ˇ­ Wipe... "Corner." The man did not react. As he spoke, he realized who they were referring to. In the end, his voice became softer and softer.

    The man looked at Xia Xuan''s gloomy face, and fear arose in his heart. In the past few days, Xia Xuan''s reputation had spread far and wide throughout the Hundred Wastelands, and an expert who could destroy a rank 2 orthodox sect was not someone that he, the Golden Sands Sect, could deal with.

    Fear appeared on his face, and the man no longer dared to act arrogantly as he scrambled out of the shop.

    Looking at the three people who were scared shitless, Zhou Zhileng couldn''t help but shake his head and laugh. He looked at Xia Xuan and laughed: "I''m still the same."

    "This time ˇ­" Xia Xuan also laughed, but his expression quickly became worse, as a tinge of sadness appeared in his eyes.

    Zhou Zhileng also put away his smile, and looked at Xia Xuan with an indescribable emotion in his eyes. With a hoarse voice, he said: "Do you still want to go?"

    Zhou Zhileng had followed the fifth reincarnation of the Deicide, and every single Deicide had been reborn from the ruins. If this time, the Deicide was still unable to survive in the ruins, then it was possible that the weak remnant spirit of the Deicide would forever disappear from this world. In other words, Xia Xuan was the last life of the Deicide.

    "Sure, pack up and come with me to the Stellar Martial Gate. We''ll set off tomorrow and target the Ancient Era''s Remnants." Since he wanted to take revenge on the Celestial King, then he must have a power that was even stronger than the Celestial King. Moreover, the Ancient Era''s Remnants were the only method he knew of, so if he didn''t even have the power to obtain power, then he shouldn''t even mention taking revenge on the Celestial King.

    Chapter 147 - dried bone forest

    The next day, just as the sun rose from the mountain, the entire Hundred Desolate Lands started to boil. Countless people and horses swarmed over from all directions. Their only target was the Ancient Era''s Remnants.

    In the Martial City, Xia Xuan woke up early as well. All the disciples of Stellar Martial Gate and above were ready to go, there were only two Xuanhuang experts guarding the sect.

    Along the way, Xia Xuan didn''t say a word, his face was filled with rare seriousness.

    "What happened to your brother?" Miao Linger came to her side and whispered in her ear.

    The tip of her nose started to sour, and said with a slightly sad voice, "Big brother has already reincarnated to the sixth time. The first five times he died in the ancient ruins, the originally weak remnant spirit has almost dissipated.

    Hearing what Yan Shuang said, Miao Linger also lowered her head in silence and silently returned to Suo Balang''s side. After being fiercely glared at by Suo Balang, he no longer said anything.

    This trip to the ancient ruins was extremely important to Xia Xuan. If he succeeded, he would gain unparalleled potential, but if he failed, he would never be able to recover. Of course, after five failures, even he wasn''t sure if he would succeed or not.

    Every bone was incomparably huge, and it was hard to imagine just how many strong warriors had fallen in the ancient Sacred War. At this time, the dried bone forest had a hundred meter long Tower, and the Tower was emitting a terrifying pressure, often having agaric spirit, which was so strong that it was visible with the naked eye, circling around the tower.

    The dried bone forest had already gathered countless forces, but no one dared to enter the Tower. It was not only because the pressure that the Tower gave off was not something that the Homo sapiens could withstand, but also because the agaric spirit surrounding the tower would attack anyone that got close.

    After half a day, Xia Xuan and the others finally arrived at dried bone forest. When Xia Xuan saw the person who was attracted by the ruins, he couldn''t help but gasp.

    At this time, as long as the dried bone forest was near the Tower, they would be separated by a few sects, and it was impossible to find an empty land with a single glance.

    Xiao Yan swept his gaze around and saw two familiar figures. One of them was wearing a red robe. The air around him was slightly distorted because of the high temperature. The other person was dressed in white. He held a longsword, and although he was only standing there, he constantly revealed a cold aura.

    Impressively, it was Han Jian and Yan Zhaoge.

    At this moment, Han Jian and Yan were standing behind a black clothed man. The man had a tall stature, even though he was only standing there, he gave off a feeling of being as tall as the heavens.

    Xia Xuan knew that this person was Hundred Beasts Sect Wei Lingyun, a Ranker with a cultivation level as high as the fifth rank.

    Xia Xuan turned around and whispered something into Xia Muning''s ear. Then, he began to circulate his spiritual energy and flew in the direction of Wei Lingyun.

    Seeing Xia Xuan entering the dried bone forest, many people turned to look at him. Although he was a newcomer, his name had already spread far and wide, and many sects had gathered information to find out what Xia Xuan looked like.

    When Wei Lingyun sensed Xia Xuan''s Profound King of the Fifth Rank, the binocular could not help but squint. When he heard that Xia Xuan had defeated Great Sect Master Wu with just the strength of his Profound King of the Fifth Rank and teamed up with Suo Balang to kill Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, he also did not quite believe it.

    "I assume this is little brother Xia Xuan." Wei Lingyun cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan who was slowly flying over.

    "Junior Xia Xuan greets Sect Leader Wei." Xia Xuan slowly landed on the ground and bowed in return.

    "May I ask where the people of Stellar Martial Gate are?" When Wei Lingyun saw that no one followed Xia Xuan, he couldn''t help but frown his brow.

    Xia Xuan looked at his surroundings, and then said softly: "To be honest, my Stellar Martial Gate''s people are at the edge of the dried bone forest, we cannot enter this place."

    "Humph!" Could it be that your Stellar Martial Gate''s people are more expensive, all of them cowering at the edge, don''t tell me that you all want to sit around and enjoy this treasure? " Not long after Xia Xuan finished speaking, a mocking laughter came out, only to see a large group of people slowly flying over.

    "This is Sect Leader Bei Hu from the Blade North Gate, a partner that we cooperate with." Wei Lingyun pointed to the leader of the group, a burly man.

    Obviously, the one who spoke was the man called Bei Hu.

    "It''s not that the people of my Stellar Martial Gate are cowardly and afraid of death, it''s just that when the Ancient Era''s Remnants open, it is very dangerous." When Xia Xuan saw the brow, he frowned. This Bei Hu obviously had ill intentions.

    "What danger could there be? I think that you''re just a coward who fears death. It''s really blind to work with someone like you." Bei Hu did not even bother being polite with Xia Xuan, and spat a mouthful of Saliva on the ground as he spoke, looking at Xia Xuan with eyes full of disdain.

    Bei Hu had naturally heard of Xia Xuan''s achievements, but he did not personally witness Xia Xuan finishing the battle, so he always believed that Xia Xuan could defeat the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium solely because he relied on Suo Balang to catch him off guard.

    "Do not take things too far in the Northern Sect Leader." Xia Xuan was not soft either, after being said to that, his face immediately became gloomy, as though he was going to fight.

    "You fledgling brat, let''s see if I''ll teach you a lesson." Bei Hu was not afraid of Xia Xuan in the slightest, the aura of his peak level of Xuanzun was completely revealed, and a large knife appeared in a flash.

    Xia Xuan could show weakness as well. The flamethrower appeared in a flash and actually went to meet Bei Hu.

    Spear and blade clashed, but there was no intense reaction. In that instant, the flamethrower trembled tens of thousands of times, and the power that Bei Hu''s large knife was using was completely deflected.

    Just as the flamethrower was about to lose its power, Xia Xuan turned the flamethrower around and threw it to the side. With lightning speed, the spear tip of the flamethrower was pressed against Bei Hu''s throat.

    A Second class Xuan Zun Ranker was actually defeated in a single round by Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan needed to spend a lot of effort to kill him, after all, both of them knew about this move.

    "Sect Leader Wei, it''s up to you whether you go to the edge or not. I only hope that when the ruins are activated, if your entire sect is annihilated, you don''t have to complain to me." Xia Xuan''s gaze turned to Wei Lingyun, his eyes bloodshot, his cold voice void of emotion.

    After saying that, the flamethrower was put away in a flash, and it flew out of the dried bone forest without looking back.

    Without the flamethrower''s threat, Bei Hu fell on his butt on the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief, he did not even know what just happened, and was defeated by Xia Xuan.

    "Let''s go." Wei Lingyun looked at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure. He didn''t know why, but he somehow felt that Xia Xuan wasn''t lying to them;

    Very quickly, Wei Lingyun led the people from the Hundred Beasts Sect and followed Xia Xuan, while Dao Bei Sect also followed.

    Not long later, Wei Lingyun and the rest arrived at the edge of dried bone forest, where they saw Xia Muning and the others, and Xia Xuan sitting on a huge boulder, looking far away.

    "I wonder what Brother Xia is looking at?" Wei Lingyun walked over to Xia Xuan''s side and noticed that Xia Xuan was looking at the other parts of the dried bone forest, following his gaze, Wei Lingyun was immediately stunned.

    There were also people in the other parts of the dried bone forest, but they all belonged to powerful sects. All of them seemed to know something, and they were all hiding at the edge of the dried bone forest, not daring to get any closer to the ruins.

    "This ˇ­" Wei Lingyun was shocked speechless. What exactly was it that made these strong powers not dare to approach the ruins?

    "You found it?" Glancing at Wei Lingyun, Xia Xuan could not help but smile.

 C148

    Chapter 148 - Opening of the Extinction Domain

    "Who the hell are you?" Wei Lingyun looked at Xia Xuan with a solemn gaze. He did not believe that an ordinary Mystical King would know everything.

    "Look in the northeast and southeast direction." Xia Xuan did not answer Wei Lingyun''s question. Instead, he pointed in two different directions.

    Following the direction that Xia Xuan pointed, they could see two groups of people respectively: the north-east and the south-east.

    A group of people were dressed in black, all of them with black wings on their backs. Although they looked like Homo sapiens, they emitted a demonic Qi. The other group of people also had humanoid forms, but they had the characteristics of a wild beast.

    These two groups of people were the Demon Dwellers and the beastmen.

    The Hundred Desolate Lands was not the exclusive domain of the Homo sapiens. One had to know that this was the border of the five realms, so the people from the Demon World and the people from the Beast Kingdom would definitely not leave such a trial using it.

    Maybe when Wei Lingyun saw that the other powerful Homo sapiens sects did not dare to approach the Ancient Ruins, he only thought that he was being cautious, but when he saw the Demon Dwellers and the beastmen, he immediately believed that it was dangerous.

    "Let me tell you what forces need your attention." Xia Xuan said as he placed both hands on Wei Lingyun''s shoulders and continuously whispered into his ears.

    Time passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed. The sun hung high in the sky, and under the scorching sun, the ground was distorted due to the high temperature.

    BOOM! A boom rang out and everyone''s gaze turned towards the Tower. Just then, the Tower moved.

    Under everyone''s gaze, the Tower moved again. Everyone became alert, and the spiritual energy began to operate secretly. It seemed like the ruins would be opened soon.

    Under the attentive gaze of the crowd, with the Tower at the center, countless cracks spread outwards like a spider web, and soon spread to half of the entire dried bone forest.

    Just when everyone was wondering why so many cracks had appeared, the Tower suddenly rose from the ground.

    The enormous building was instantly pulled up from the ground. The ground that the crack reached was all within the reach of the building. The people that were standing on the crack earlier disappeared in an instant.

    Be it the north blade gate or the Hundred Beasts Sect, everyone secretly swallowed their saliva. The place they were at just happened to be in the middle of a fissure, and if they did not listen to Xia Xuan''s words and insisted on staying, they were afraid that their bodies would be smashed into smithereens the next time.

    This was a huge building that was tens of thousands of feet tall. It was like an ancient beast lying on the ground, and one could clearly see that the Tower had only finished destroying the roof. This was the true relic.

    Those who were near the ruins all drooled, but just as they wanted to enter the ruins first, countless agaric spirit s rushed out from the ruins. When they saw the people from the ruins, they immediately jumped, and with the ruins as the center, dozens of miles around were the attack range of the agaric spirit.

    These agaric spirit s were all strong warriors who died in the holy war in the ancient times. Even though they were only a strand of soul, regardless of which agaric spirit it was, they all possessed at least the strength of Xuanzun.

    Under the attacks of countless agaric spirit, there were no longer living beings within tens of kilometers from the ruins.

    Everyone secretly swallowed their saliva as they realized that at least forty percent of the sects in the entire Hundred Desolate Land had died!

    "What do we do now?" Wei Lingyun said to Xia Xuan as he witnessed the scene of the agaric spirit killing. The strength of these agaric spirit was not something that he had underestimated.

    "I have no choice but to ask Brother Zhou." Xia Xuan spread out his hands and looked at Zhou Zhileng.

    Everyone was looking towards Zhou Zhileng. No matter who it was, they could feel that there wasn''t a single spiritual energy in Zhou Zhileng''s body. In other words, he was just an ordinary person.

    How could an ordinary person handle these powerful agaric spirit?

    Zhou Zhileng smiled, looked at the ruins surrounded by the agaric spirit, and said: "Everyone, please wait for a moment."

    After he finished speaking, Zhou Zhileng took out a compass from his bosom and found an empty space before squatting down, fiddling with something unknown.

    Wei Lingyun stared at the compass in Zhou Zhileng''s hand, he did not know why the compass gave him a familiar feeling, but after a while, he seemed to have thought of something, causing the binocular to stare blankly. It went to Xia Xuan''s side and whispered in his ear, "Could this be ˇ­"

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan naturally knew what Wei Lingyun wanted to ask, and a smile appeared on his face as his eyes narrowed.

    Receiving Xia Xuan''s reply, the gaze Wei Lingyun looked at him with was filled with surprise.

    In the Hundred Wastelands, there was a wondrous person who was naturally unable to cultivate his Qi, but for some reason, it was unknown why he would not grow old even after hundreds of years, and would specialize in the eight elements of eight trigrams over a long period of time. Although it was not Qi Cultivating, one could toy with Xuanzun experts, and it was a miracle for someone who was unable to cultivate their Qi.

    Two hours had passed and Zhou Zhileng stood at the peak of the mountain to look at the remnants of the agaric spirit. He already knew the way to enter the passageway, but the time had not come yet.

    After two hours, many sects no longer had the patience to wait any longer. They gathered together and prepared to break in.

    "Prepare to leave." Zhou Zhileng looked at the various people that were gathered near the ruins, and suddenly said.

    All sorts of people gathered at a location that was a few dozen miles away from the ruins. When the time was predetermined, everyone would rush towards the ruins. When they arrived at a certain distance from the ruins, the agaric spirit that filled the sky suddenly discovered a target and rushed towards the crowd in unison.

    A battle was on the verge of breaking out, countless agaric spirit clashed with the crowd in an instant, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out. Blood splattered, and countless people died under the attacks of the agaric spirit.

    Just as the troops were fighting with the agaric spirit, in a place where no one was paying attention, a group of people quietly walked towards the ruins. What was surprising was that the agaric spirit Sect did not seem to notice this group of people, they actually did not attack them.

    In front of the group, Zhou Zhileng was holding onto a compass, non-stop paying attention to the direction of the needle on the compass, and followed the direction of the pointer.

    As he was walking, Zhou Zhileng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze looking into the distance, only to see a group of people quietly walking towards the ruins. This group of people were all covered in demonic Qi, with a pair of wings on their backs, they were from the demon race.

    Seemingly having sensed Zhou Zhileng''s gaze, a white haired man from the Demon Dwellers also looked towards Zhou Zhileng''s direction. When the hundred haired man saw the compass in Zhou Zhileng''s hand, she could not help but smile.

    "Interesting." Seeing the compass in the white haired man''s hands, Zhou Zhileng was extremely interested, he cupped his hands at the white haired man, and then walked back into the ruin.

    Chapter 149 - Congregations

    Under Zhou Zhileng''s lead, everyone quickly arrived in front of the huge gate, which was three thousand meters tall, and all of them sighed with emotion. How exactly did such a large ruin be constructed?

    When they arrived at the ruins, they realized that a group of people had already arrived. It was the beastmen.

    He did not see how the beastmen had managed to get in, but after seeing the several holes on the ground, he understood.

    At this moment, all of the Beastmen were standing in front of the gate, looking at the door with a vexed expression. They had tried everything they could previously, but they were still unable to open the door.

    "Hmph, foolish beasts, only know how to use brute force." A mocking voice came out, only to see the Demon Dwellers slowly walking over. The one who spoke was an enchanting sex Demon Dwellers.

    Being mocked, the beastmen got angry immediately, and started to fight with the Demon Dwellers s one by one.

    "Calm down everyone, the fight will attract the agaric spirit over." Just then, Zhou Zhileng suddenly came between the two groups of people.

    "Scram." The Beastmen were innately irritable, and completely ignored Zhou Zhileng, slapping towards Zhou Zhileng with their beast-claws that were as big as sandbags.

    Just as the beastman''s fist was about to hit Zhou Zhileng, a black longsword suddenly blocked in front of him.

    Her gaze turned towards the man holding the sword, it was the white-haired man who looked straight into Zhou Zhileng''s eyes before.

    "Get out of the way." The white-haired man angrily snorted. His eyes fiercely stared at the beastman who had attacked. A terrifying killing intent burst out from him.

    When the beastman was just blocked, he was very angry, but when he saw the icy-cold gaze of the hundred year old man, even the ferocity of his beastman heart couldn''t help but shrink back.

    Under the gaze of the white-haired man, all of the beastmen did not dare to say anything.

    "Thank you." Zhou Zhileng looked at the white haired man and said sincerely.

    The white-haired man looked at Zhou Zhileng, and the iciness in his eyes instantly disappeared. His face no longer had any fierceness, and what replaced it was a hint of a smile.

    Regardless of whether it was the Demon Dwellers or the beastmen, both were surprised. This white haired man was called Yan Luoming, with a noble position amongst the demons, it could be said that no one in the entire Demon World dared to give him face, and there was only one person who was treated with a smile, and that was the master of the Demon World. However, this unremarkable looking Teenage in front of him ˇ­

    "I wonder if you can break the door with me?" The white haired man ignored the shocked gazes of the surrounding people, he was even more courteous to Zhou Zhileng, and cupped his hands as he spoke.

    "My pleasure." Zhou Zhileng had also long heard of Yan Luoyang. Of course, what really caught Zhou Zhileng''s attention was Yan Luoyang''s research on the invisible gossip.

    It was said that Yan Luo Yang was only twenty years old and had a deep understanding of the Five Elements of Eight Trigrams. In the entire Demon World, there were no more than three people who could surpass him in terms of the Five Elements of Eight Trigrams.

    "Please." Yan Luoyang made a gesture of invitation, and then walked toward the giant door with Zhou Zhileng.

    Arriving at the giant door, Yan Luoyang and Zhou Zhileng took out the compass at the same time. After exchanging glances, both of them turned their gazes towards the giant door.

    "Brother, who is that white-haired man?" "His aura really is powerful." Wei Lingyun came to Xia Xuan''s side and whispered in his ear. He had clearly felt just how powerful Yan Luoyang''s aura was previously. Even though he hadn''t released his spiritual energy, even he, a Xuanzun expert, felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

    "Have you heard of Infernal King?" Xia Xuan smiled and said.

    "Of course, he''s the ruler of the Demon World, he''s not too far off from the Celestial King, right?" Every realm had their own king, every The Divine Realm had their own king, and every Human Realm also had their own king. The King of Demon World was so strong that she could be compared to the Celestial King, and it could even be said that even a three-year-old child knew of the Infernal King.

    However, Yan Luoyang shouldn''t be a Infernal King, even if his aura was any stronger than that of a Infernal King. If the Infernal King was truly angry, then no one here could survive under the pressure of his aura.

    "Have you heard of the successor to the Infernal King?" Xia Xuan smiled again, and said mysteriously.

    "I''ve heard of it. Don''t tell me he ˇ­" Wei Lingyun originally did not believe it, but when he saw Xia Xuan''s unchanging expression, he could not help but realize something, and the gaze he looked at Yan Luoyang with once again couldn''t help but become completely astonished.

    After about half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Zhileng and Yan Luoyang gazed at the huge door at the same time. There were many small spots on the door, which at first glance seemed to be stains, but that was the key to opening the door.

    "Sigh, I''ll have to trouble Brother Yan after all." couldn''t help but let out a sigh as he looked at the huge door that was three thousand meters tall. Being unable to cultivate spiritual energy could be said to be a hard injury.

    "Brother Zhou is truly amazing. He figured out the method to open the gate so quickly." Yan Luoyang knew that Zhou Zhileng saying this meant that he was done for. Even with his attainments in the Five Elements Eight Trigrams, he greatly admired Zhou Zhileng''s speed.

    "No, I believe that Brother Yan is finished." Zhou Zhileng slightly smiled. Not long after he finished his calculations, he clearly saw Yan Luoyang''s hand, which was holding the compass, sink slightly, and look at the small dots on the door.

    Yan Luoyang faintly smiled, and then stretched out his wings, flapping them in the air. As Yan Luoyang continued to pour spiritual energy s into the small dots in the air, every single dot that was injected with spiritual energy started to shine.

    Of course, not every little bit was injected with spiritual energy.

    This huge door was indeed thousands of meters wide, and by the time Yan Luoyang had injected all the little dots that needed to be injected with spiritual energy, twenty minutes had already passed.

    "Boom!" Yan Luoyang slowly landed on the ground, and then the huge door slightly moved. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the door slowly opened.

    As the huge door opened, the agaric spirit s that filled the sky suddenly went berserk, and afterwards, they all looked in the direction of the huge door with their blood-red eyes. Countless agaric spirit s actually all rushed towards the huge door at the same time.

    "Quick, dodge." Xia Xuan was the first to notice the situation in the agaric spirit.

    The agaric spirit did not attack anyone, they all rushed towards the inside of the ruin. Countless agaric spirit rushed into the ruins, but there was no reaction when the agaric spirit rushed in, as if the countless agaric spirit had disappeared.

    Without the agaric spirit, those people who were fighting against the agaric spirit all heaved a sigh of relief, and looked towards the direction of the big gate. When they saw Xia Xuan''s group of three, they immediately understood what was going on. When they were fighting with the agaric spirit to the death, these three groups of people sneakily went to the ruins.

    Although they felt like they were being used, they had managed to escape from death. The feeling of surviving a great calamity was still very good. Immediately, cheers sounded out.

    Xia Xuan did not care about the cheers, now was not the time to be happy, there was something even more dangerous inside the ruins.

    Chapter 150 - The Ten Thousand Silence Revolving Dan

    "Let''s go." Xia Xuan looked at the opened huge door that was three thousand meters wide. At the moment, the relic was like a primordial beast with huge mouths, wanting to devour everything.

    The memories of the fifth life surged into his mind. This was the sixth time he had been here, and also the last time he had been here. Scenes of when he had died appeared in his mind, and his clenched fists were actually trembling due to the excessive force.

    He was not afraid, not because this relic was not scary enough, but because he could not be afraid. Fear of power was not something that could subdue this power.

    "You don''t want the others to scout ahead?" Xia Muning said in a warning voice, she had clearly seen Xia Xuan''s trembling hands, she was truly afraid that Xia Xuan would choose the wrong path because of her nervousness.

    "No need, the only ones guarding the gate are the agaric spirit s." Xia Xuan shook his head, he had already come five times and was very clear about the situation at the entrance. Only agaric spirit would be guarding the door, and when the door opened, agaric spirit would immediately hide, and there wouldn''t be any other mechanisms to stop him.

    With that said, the spiritual energy on Xia Xuan''s body activated, and quickly came to Zhou Zhileng''s side, pulling Zhou Zhileng along as they charged into the ruins. Seeing that, Xia Muning also brought his disciples to follow along. After hesitating for a moment, Wei Lingyun and his disciples also followed along.

    Watching Xia Xuan and the others enter the relic, Yan Luoyang''s binocular squinted her eyes. Usually, agaric spirit wouldn''t be the only one guarding the entrances to these relic, so even he himself didn''t dare to bring his people in easily. He didn''t know if Xia Xuan knew anything about this place or if he was being too reckless.

    "Group of five, split up." After entering the ruins, Xia Muning immediately gave the order, and the following Stellar Martial Gate disciples scattered.

    With an ice-cold gaze, he gazed in the direction in which Xia Xuan had disappeared in. It was obvious that Xia Xuan had not directly charged in out of recklessness, as this Teenage was not simple at all.

    "Let''s go." Yan Luoyang waved his hand, and the Demon Dwellers rushed into the ruins.

    After the two groups of people had rushed into the ruins, the black mass of people began to flood in like a giant beast drinking water.

    knew that there were treasures left behind by predecessors in those stone chamber s, but he was not in a hurry to go find treasures in those stone chamber s. This was because to Xia Xuan, there were only two things that could move his heart, and the same was true for the mysterious ball of light that killed him five times, and the Ten Thousand Revolving Core that was able to repair soul.

    Instead, she pulled Miao Linger and rushed to her destination. Xia Xuan did not want her to follow him at all times, because she did not need any protection if she wanted to obtain that power. Furthermore, Miao Linger needed the help of Yan Shuang.

    "Did you find it?" Xia Xuan who was flying quickly suddenly asked Zhou Zhileng who was behind him.

    Zhou Zhileng, who was being pulled by Xia Xuan, had difficulty holding onto the compass. However, because Xia Xuan''s speed was too fast, he was unable to look at the compass, so he could only helplessly say, "Stop."

    Hearing what Zhou Zhileng said, Xia Xuan also regained his senses. He was just too anxious, so he slowed down and stopped.

    Zhou Zhileng who had finally stopped moving quickly picked up the compass straight. Following the rotation of the needle, his mind started to work quickly.

    "Found it." Seeing that there were people catching up, Zhou Zhileng finally finished his calculations and said.

    "Swish!" Just as Zhou Zhileng was about to speak, he grabbed onto and continued onward.

    "Turn left." After a while, Xia Xuan arrived at an intersection, and when he did not know how to leave, Zhou Zhileng suddenly spoke out.

    Just like this, under Zhou Zhileng''s guidance, Xia Xuan quickly walked inside the ruins for around an hour before a stone chamber finally appeared in front of him.

    Without Zhou Zhileng''s guidance, Xia Xuan already guessed that this stone chamber was his goal, because before he even entered the stone chamber, he could already smell the rich aroma of medicine. He believed that this stone chamber was the stone chamber that stored the Pills.

    Standing in front of the stone chamber, this stone chamber was different from the other stone chamber s. This stone chamber''s door was filled with moss, and there were faint golden lines underneath the moss.

    Standing in front of the stone chamber, Xia Xuan looked at Zhou Zhileng, this kind of sealed stone chamber was something he did not dare touch casually, because if he took the wrong steps to remove the seal, everything inside the stone chamber would be destroyed.

    "Nangong returns to guard the path of reincarnation, the Northern Heavens Moon enters Sang Tian." Zhou Zhileng wiped off the moss on the stone door, and his eyes that looked at the golden engravings became a little serious.

    Hearing Zhou Zhileng''s words, Xia Xuan''s two fingers formed a sword shape as they pressed against the stone door. The spiritual energy began to circulate at the tip of his fingers, and started to circulate according to Zhou Zhileng''s instructions.

    With Zhou Zhileng''s command, Xia Xuan''s two fingers moved, and the golden lines on the stone door quickly turned white, then the stone door moved a little.

    The stone door slowly opened, and a strong fragrance came out, a wave of smoke floated out, it was hard to imagine just how many Pills were inside.

    Finally, the stone door completely opened. It was not dark inside the stone chamber, no one knew where it came from, but a light blue light shone from. Although the light was not strong, one could still clearly see the countless Pills that were laid out in the stone chamber.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze immediately fell on one of the stone tables in the stone chamber. On the stone table, there laid a black and white Pills. Merely by taking a glance at the Pills, Xia Xuan already felt that his entire person had become more spirited. This was the Pills that he was looking for ˇŞ ˇŞ Myriad Rebirth Pill.

    As long as he could obtain this Pills, he could at least restore 10% of the Deicide''s soul. At that time, the Deicide''s soul and Xia Xuan''s body would become one.

    Not long after Xia Xuan''s gaze landed on the Ten Thousand Revolving Core, his gaze was attracted to another stone table. On the stone table were four Pills, all of them blood-red in color, and there seemed to be an indistinct heavy feeling coming from them. One could see that the stone table was a few inches shorter than the other stone tables, and this stone table had actually lowered its height by a few inches over the course of hundreds of millions of years.

    "Quickly collect the medicine. The medicinal fragrance is too strong." After being stunned at the stone door for a moment, Xia Xuan quickly regained his senses and anxiously said to Zhou Zhileng. One must know that such a strong medicinal smell would definitely attract people over, if the person was too strong, then it would not be good.

    Two figures rushed into the stone chamber at the same time. Xia Xuan directly rushed towards the Myriad Solitary Return Pill, while Zhou Zhileng charged towards the four blood colored Pills. It could be seen that these two Pills were of the highest quality, so it was still better to first store them.

    Xia Xuan''s speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of the Myriad Solitary Reincarnation Pill.

    Just as Xia Xuan''s large hands were about to grab onto the Pills, the sound of wind breaking suddenly sounded out. From the corner of his eyes, he could see a brown figure rushing towards him from the direction of the stone door.

    Xia Xuan''s reaction was fast to the point that it couldn''t be described as slow. When he noticed the figure, the hand that was grabbing onto Pills suddenly changed direction, and with the spiritual energy in her hand, he gathered all the needles and shot them straight at the brown figure. At the same time, he grabbed onto the Myriad Silence Revolving Pill with his other hand, and in a flash, the pill flew into his storage ring.

    The brown figure dodged Xia Xuan''s attack in a flash, but when he saw that Xia Xuan had already put away the Myriad Solitary Reincarnation Pill, he couldn''t help but let out a "tsk".

 C151

    Chapter 151 - Competition

    The brown figure stood there, allowing Xia Xuan to see what the person looked like. His pair of wolf ears were perked up, his body had a lot of brown fur, even his face was completely covered by the fur. His hands and feet were much larger than Homo sapiens''s, especially his nails that were as sharp as knives.

    That was not Homo sapiens, but a hydatid that had cultivated to human form.

    The hydatid was a type of weasel, specializing in digging and its speed was extremely fast, but Xia Xuan was the most alert of these kind of spirit beast. Normally, they would travel together, there would at least be three of them.

    Just as Xia Xuan was staring intently at the hydatid, a loud noise came out, he anxiously looked towards Zhou Zhileng''s direction only to see a hydatid rushing towards him. However, just as the hydatid was about to hit Zhou Zhileng, Zhou Zhileng suddenly threw a rock on the ground, and the rock turned into a one meter thick wooden wall.

    At the same time, another brown colored figure flashed by, but the target this time was the four blood-red Pills s on the stone table.

    Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng could not react in time, with a flash of the brown colored figure, the four Pills s were all taken away, and then the figure went straight to the side of the hydatid that had sneaked an attack on Xia Xuan.

    Seeing that, the hydatid who was sneaking an attack on Zhou Zhileng also flashed and came to the side of the hydatid who was sneaking an attack on Xia Xuan.

    "You didn''t expect that, right? The four of us have been secretly following you." Laughter sounded, and from the stone door, an enchanting hydatid slowly walked over.

    "Little Zheng, what do you think of these four endosperm?" Xia Xuan did not bother with the enchanting hydatid, and instead spoke to the little Zheng who was on its back the entire time. Little Zheng had been lying on his back for a long time already, but Little Zheng had never grown up. Xia Xuan had already started to consider whether or not to find an even stronger spirit beast. It was obvious that the four hydatid in front of him were the best choices.

    The little Zheng opened his drowsy eyes, as if he were not really interested in the four of them, and directly closed the binocular s as he continued to fall asleep on Xia Xuan''s back.

    "Little Zheng is not interested in you, I''ll give you a chance, scram." Seeing Xiao Zheng''s reaction, Xia Xuan said to the four of them. But when he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and once again said, "That''s right, leave the Blood Body Pill behind."

    After hearing what Xia Xuan said, the four hydatid immediately dug their ears out, and after confirming that they did not hear wrongly, they all started to laugh out loud.

    To cultivate a human form, the spirit beast would need to be at least at the Mystical King level of strength, and to be at least at the Xuanhuang level of intelligence like the four of them. Among the four, three of the male hydatid were at the Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor realm, and the female hyena had even reached the level of a first stage Xuanzun. In their eyes, Xia Xuan was just like an ant.

    "Second brother, kill him." The enchanting figure of the lady was laughing, when she suddenly spoke to the hydatid that had ambushed Xia Xuan previously, the smile on her face instantly retracted, replacing it was fierceness, the speed at which she changed her expression was even faster than flipping a book.

    "No problem." The hydatid that was addressed as second brother licked her lips, and looked at Xia Xuan with eyes full of playfulness. Both of his feet fiercely stomped on the ground, transforming into a brown colored shadow that rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan did not try to dodge the attack of the hydatid. Instead, it appeared in a flash and condensed at the tip of the spear.

    In this situation, the hydatid would naturally not fear Xia Xuan''s attack, and instead increased its speed instead. In an instant, it was already in front of Xia Xuan, and its hand directly grabbed towards the tip of the flamethrower''s spear.

    Originally, he thought that a mere Profound King of the Fifth Rank''s attack might not even be able to cut through his skin, but when the berserk s chosen on the tip of the flamethrower touched his palm, his palm was twisted!

    In just an instant, the entire hand of the hydatid was held together by the spiritual energy. Not only that, the spiritual energy did not seem to be stopping, wanting to stir up the entire hydatid, but the hydatid''s hands were stuck, unable to break free.

    Right at the moment when the hydatid realized that it had underestimated its opponent, it gritted its teeth and raised its other hand. However, it was not going to attack Xia Xuan, but to slash onto the arm of its own hand!

    His sharp nails fiercely hacked down on his arm, just like a gecko that had its tail cut off, and his entire arm was cut off.

    "AHH@@

    The other two male hydatid looked at Second Brother in shock. They couldn''t believe that one of their Xuanhuang Rankers was going to lose an arm in front of a Mystical King.

    The female hyena did not look at Second Brother, but stared straight at Xia Xuan, his eyes filled with viciousness. This Teenage must die in a few days!

    "Little Zhou, go collect the Pills." Xia Xuan was not afraid of the female hyena''s gaze at all, and spoke to Zhou Zhileng who was not far away. Right now, there were only four hydatid. If this dragged on, perhaps even more people would be attracted by the medicinal fragrance, so they had to quickly collect the Pills.

    Zhou Zhileng nodded slightly, then turned and ran towards the surrounding stone tables, regardless of what he took every day.

    "Ol ''Three, Ol'' Four, go steal the Pills." Seeing that Zhou Zhileng was about to collect the Pills, female hyena became anxious and shouted to the other two.

    The two hydatid did not hesitate either, transforming into two figures that rushed towards Zhou Zhileng.

    Just then, two black scale lance s suddenly appeared on the path the two of them were walking on.

    The two who had seen the power of this move did not dare to underestimate it. Before the flamethrower could pierce them, they had already retreated back and returned to the side of the female hyena.

    At this time, two people stood beside Xia Xuan. The two of them looked exactly like Xia Xuan, and they were also holding flamethrower s, which were his clones formed with spiritual energy s.

    Seeing the two clones that Xia Xuan had condensed, the female hyena immediately stared wide open. The auras of the two clones were exactly the same as Xia Xuan''s original body, it was possible that these were the most condensed clones that she had seen in his hundred years of cultivation.

    female hyena knew that he had kicked an iron plate.

    "Let''s attack together." Right now, even the female hyena did not dare to underestimate Xia Xuan, and said with a slightly serious tone of voice.

    The three of them rushed out at the same time, their target was the three ''Xia Xuan''. Xia Xuan was not afraid either, the two clones rushing towards the two male hydatid, while his real body was rushing towards the female hyena.

    Seemingly in an instant, six figures collided ferociously. The seemingly weak Xia Xuan''s side sent two male hydatid flying in an instant, while the female hyena had no choice but to step back after resisting for a few minutes with Xia Xuan.

    "Withdraw." The female hyena looked at Xia Xuan fiercely, then looked at the countless Pills inside the stone chamber, although he was unwilling, he still spoke, although Pills were good, but they still needed to live.

    "Halt." Just as the three of them were carrying their second brother and preparing to leave, Xia Xuan''s voice suddenly came out, only to see Xia Xuan smiling playfully, his eyes looking at the four of them in complete darkness, his cold voice saying, "Leave the Blood Body Pill here, otherwise, all of you will die today."

 C152

    Chapter 152 - Continuing forward

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, even if they were afraid of Xia Xuan''s strength, the female hyena could not take it anymore. Although they could not beat Xia Xuan, but that did not mean that they did not have the ability to protect themselves, for Xia Xuan to dare to make them hand over the treasures in their hands, it could be said that he was being too arrogant.

    "If you have the ability, come and get it yourself." female hyena glared at Xia Xuan, and walked out of the stone chamber without turning back.

    Just as the four of them were about to leave the stone chamber, countless black scale lance descended from the sky.

    At the same time, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became incomparably hard. Even if one were to step on it, they could feel its hardness. It was not something they could dig out.

    female hyena looked towards the distant Zhou Zhileng. Previously, he clearly felt that Zhou Zhileng had thrown something on the ground, but later on, the ground changed.

    "How is it? Do you still want to resist? " Xia Xuan looked at the four of them who did not know what to do, and the playfulness on his face grew even more.

    female hyena gritted his teeth as he stared at Xia Xuan. He knew that he had nowhere to run, the Teenage in front of him was not an ordinary person. There was only one way to survive.

    "Fight him to the death." In the end, a hint of ruthlessness flashed past female hyena''s eyes as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

    When the other three hydatid heard the female hyena''s words, they instinctively took two steps back. The voice of the swallowing Saliva resounded, and the three of them looked at each other.

    "Tch, three pieces of trash." Seeing the three''s reaction, female hyena immediately cursed, and then looked towards Xia Xuan with eyes full of hatred.

    female hyena did not immediately charge towards Xia Xuan. Instead, all of his muscles suddenly swelled, and his densely packed fur grew out crazily. Not long later, he had completely transformed into a huge weasel.

    Compared to humans, spirit beast s were much more powerful. Although the hydatid that had transformed into the shape of a spirit beast was still in the first stage of Xuanzun, its strength was definitely comparable to that of a Second class Xuan Zun.

    As soon as the hydatid transformed into its state, the ground beneath its feet cracked. Both of its legs fiercely stomped on the ground, and it burst forth with a speed that did not match with its body.

    In just an instant, the hydatid arrived in front of Xia Xuan, and grabbed towards Xia Xuan with its wolf claws that were half the size of his body.

    Although the hydatid was extremely fast, it was incomparable to the Homo sapiens. Its gigantic body was clearly slower than before, and the speed was comparable to a tortoise''s crawl in Xia Xuan''s eyes.

    "Humph!" With a cold snort, Xia Xuan dodged the hydatid''s attack from the side, but just as he dodged it ˇ­

    When he attacked, he clearly saw a hint of a smile at the corner of the hydatid''s mouth.

    Gazing towards the direction where the hydatid was attacking, he discovered that there was a person at his attack route. That person was none other than Zhou Zhileng.

    When he attacked an ordinary person who had no Qi Cultivating Stage, Xia Xuan would definitely intervene to stop him. At that time, he would have to kill Xia Xuan and turn back and not only solve the crisis, he would also have to take back the entire stone chamber''s Pills.

    Just as the hydatid was about to reach Zhou Zhileng and turn around to give him a blow, she saw an astonishing scene.

    Xia Xuan did not chase after her. Instead, he turned and charged towards the three male hydatid s. The flamethrower s danced out streams of spear light. In the end, they couldn''t.

    Seeing the figures of his three comrades that were slowly falling, female hyena was stunned, followed by a burst of anger. His originally beautiful face became distorted due to anger, and he looked at Zhou Zhileng, his eyes filled with killing intent.

    The gigantic beast raised its claws high up and was about to slap towards Zhou Zhileng.

    A pill appeared in Zhou Zhileng''s hands, which he crushed as countless spiritual energy flew up into the sky.

    The impact of the spiritual energy''s attack on the claws of the hydatid made them feel as if they were on fire.

    The temperature of the flame was extremely high and no matter what, it was unable to extinguish. Soon after, the flame ignited the entire body of the hydatid.

    Being burned by the flames, the hydatid immediately tried its best to extinguish the flames as miserable cries sounded.

    "Stupid." Zhou Zhileng looked at the hydatid that was being burned by the flames indifferently, and said with disdain.

    Zhou Zhileng was able to make Wei Lingyun wary of him only by relying on his knowledge of the five element eight trigrams, in this Hundred Desolations, no matter how much knowledge he had, it was useless. What Zhou Zhileng truly made people revere was his methods, when he relied on the Weapons he defeated a third stage Xuanzun expert, that was what he truly made everyone revere.

    "You demons, I''ll fight you to the death." The hydatid that was burned by the flames had already entered a berserk state, and no longer pounced on the flames, but charged towards Zhou Zhileng instead. This kind of suicidal state was no longer directed towards himself, but towards the enemy.

    Just as the hydatid was about to charge towards Zhou Zhileng, a black scale lance suddenly descended from the sky and directly pierced through her chest, nailing his to the ground.

    "I refuse to accept this." Even though they were nailed to the ground, the hydatid still stared fiercely at Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng. Only now did she understand that the two in front of her must have lured them here on purpose.

    "In your next life, you have to first understand your opponent''s strength." Xia Xuan slowly walked to the side of the hydatid, ignoring the gaze of the hydatid, raising his hand, and grabbed at the heart of the hydatid.

    "Tch" Xia Xuan''s palm pierced through the hydatid''s heart, and when Xia Xuan retracted his palm, there was an additional yellow bead. Just by grabbing onto the pillar, Xia Xuan could feel the berserk spiritual energy inside the bead.

    After keeping the endosperm, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng swept through all the Pills in stone chamber like hungry people.

    "The smell is coming from here." Not long after Xia Xuan and Yue Yang finished collecting the Pills, a voice came out from outside the stone chamber. Faintly, a group of Beastmen could be seen rushing towards the stone chamber.

    The Beastmen had the most sensitive sense of smell, so the Beastmen were the first to arrive.

    Seeing that the Beastmen had rushed over, Xia Xuan did not panic. From the beginning, he had not thought of leaving from the stone door.

    The flamethrower was ruthlessly flung out by Xia Xuan. The pike stabbed at the top of the stone door and suddenly, countless rocks fell and blocked the stone door.

    After blocking the stone door, the flamethrower returned to Xia Xuan''s hands in a flash. Then, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng arrived at a stone table in a corner of the stone chamber.

    Seeing the stone table, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng looked at each other, and then, Zhou Zhileng did something unknown on the stone table. After he finished hitting the ground, the stone table actually split into two, and a secret passage appeared.

    Chapter 153 - Yin Yang Isomers (1)

    In the center of the grassland was a lake. The lake was incomparably clear, and something could vaguely be seen in the water, but one could not see the bottom of the lake, because this lake was actually so deep that the bottom couldn''t be seen.

    At this time, there were two beautiful figures on the grass. Miao Linger, whose white clothes were fluttering in the wind and her pink clothes were extremely moving, paled in comparison to the two of them.

    The beauty of the Flame Frost was a type of beauty that was clear and pure, and everything would become insignificant in front of it. It could be said that this kind of beauty was the only one in the world, and it was an indescribable beauty even for devastatingly beautiful women. Although Miao Linger was not as good as Yan Shuang, she was still a rare treasure to ordinary people.

    When they arrived at the lakeside, they were surprised to find that there was thin ice on one side of the lake while the other side was boiling.

    "This is the Yin Yang Lake?" Miao Linger looked at the weird lake water and asked curiously. Although she was only standing by the lake, she could already feel an extremely strong spiritual energy in the lake. It was hard to imagine whether or not she would die from being crushed by the huge spiritual energy when she was in the water.

    "That''s right, the Yin Yang Lake is the most suitable place for your physique. As long as you can absorb this lake''s water, I can guarantee that your cultivation will break through to the Mysterious Sect." Yan Shuang answered with certainty.

    "What if it can''t be completely absorbed?" Miao Linger was not stupid, how could she absorb an entire lake of spiritual energy by herself?

    "Ai, one can reach Xuanzun, right?" It was clear that Yan Shuang did not know how to reply to his question. Her few hair was constantly twirling in her hands and her face was filled with embarrassment.

    Miao Linger felt extremely helpless towards Yan Shuang''s reply. She originally thought that only Xia Xuan was a little unreliable, but these two siblings were of the same character. Although she felt helpless in her heart, Miao Linger did not complain in the end. Raising the level of her Xuanzun was already very impressive, even Suo Balang only had Second class Xuan Zun.

    "Rustle, rustle." Miao Linger suddenly untied her clothes, revealing her beautiful shoulders, her snow white skin revealed a hint of red, it looked extremely alluring.

    "Wait a moment." Just at this time, Yan Shuang suddenly stopped Miao Linger''s movements, her eyes staring at a grass patch not far away, she said, "Come out, I already knew you were there."

    Those people looked extremely similar to the Homo sapiens, but the tails behind them betrayed them. They were not Homo sapiens, but a group of Lunar Scourge Apes that had cultivated to human form.

    The crescent moon ape did not have many hobbies, but it was born lustful. Regardless of whether it was a demon or a human woman, once they saw it, they would all be taken away.

    The strength of the Crescent Moon Apes were considered average among the spirit beast, but this group of Crescent Moon Apes was also very strong.

    "Your senses are quite sharp, but it''s useless. Just obediently give up today." The leader of the Glue Moon Apes stared straight at Yan Shuang, his eyes filled with desire. Even though he had seen countless women, he had never seen Yan Shuang as beautiful.

    "I don''t want to kill anyone. You can leave now and I''ll give you a chance." The Flame Frost brow frowned and said.

    "Haha, little beauty, are you scared silly?" All the Greedy Moon Wolves present were Xuanhuang experts. With such a line-up, they really did not fear anyone.

    "In that case, I''m sorry." Although she was benevolent, she was not weak. She would not give a shred of sympathy to an enemy like this.

    She raised her palm and clenched it in the direction of the Greedy Moon Wolves, who were already prepared to move their bodies, and were no longer able to move.

    "Goodbye." A cold glint surfaced in Yan Shuang''s eyes. After which, the leader of the Greedy Moon Wolves discovered that the surrounding space had already started to distort. Finally, it shattered.

    At this moment, the Greedy Moon Wolves'' gazes were filled with fear as they looked at Yan Shuang. They had actually underestimated someone else.

    "Spare, spare me ˇ­" The leader of the Greedy Moon Wolves was already stammering. Before he could finish his sentence, his body had already twisted rapidly. In the end, he was compressed into a small dot and disappeared into the air.

    Miao Linger swallowed her saliva. Dozens of Xuanhuang experts were actually so weak in the hands of Yan Shuang.

    "Alright, you can go into the water now." Yan Shuang turned her head to look at Miao Linger, a smile hanging on her face. It was hard to imagine that such a young lady had even killed dozens of Xuanhuang experts just now.

 C154

    Chapter 154 - Yin Yang Isomers (2)

    "Oh." Miao Linger was shocked awake by Yan Shuang''s words. She immediately took off her clothes and jumped into the lake.

    As soon as he entered the lake, Yan Shuang regretted his decision. Because the lake water contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy, when Yan Shuang jumped into the lake, she felt as if her entire body was pierced by needles.

    "AHH!"

    "Ai, young people are so impatient, why would they directly jump down?" Yan Shuang sighed helplessly. Then, she waved her hand and Yan Shuang stopped screaming.

    Yan Shuang, who had stopped screaming, blinked her large eyes. Although her entire body was still in pain, it was countless times better than before. This kind of pain was already tolerable.

    "I''ve sealed 90% of your senses. Hurry up and absorb it." Yan Shuang said from the lakeside, her voice clearly transmitted into Yan Shuang''s ears under the cover of the spiritual energy.

    "Yes." Yan Shuang nodded lightly. After that, she folded her legs, and the lake water started to fill with spiritual energy s that could be seen with the naked eye.

    With the influx of the spiritual energy, Miao Linger''s aura rapidly climbed, and in a short while, she had broken through the bottleneck of the Mystical King, reaching the realm of a first stage Mystical King.

    Similarly, following the influx of spiritual energy, Miao Linger''s pain also soared rapidly. Even though she was already feeling ninety percent of the pain of being sealed, just that level alone was enough to make the gingiva bite.

    Hold on. Your yin and yang body is based on the power of yin and yang. The more yin and yang energy you absorb, the stronger you will be in the future. " At this moment, Yan Shuang''s voice sounded.

    After hearing what Yan Shuang said, Miao Linger could only grit her teeth and endure the pain as she continued to absorb the spiritual energy s.

    Logically speaking, as her strength increased, her ability to endure pain should also increase, but Miao Linger didn''t have this kind of feeling, as the pain she endured was always maintained to a certain degree.

    What Miao Linger did not know was that once her strength had risen by one realm, even the fingers of the Flame Frost would move slightly, and the pain of Miao Linger being sealed would be relieved by ten percent.

    and Zhou Zhileng looked at each other for a moment, then walked towards the secret passage at the same time. After the two entered the secret passage, the ground slowly closed again, and the two left.

    "Boom!" The rocks that were blocking the stone chamber were eventually blasted away by the beastmen''s combined strength, but the one that appeared in front of them was an empty stone chamber. It could be seen that there were four hydatid s inside the stone chamber, each of them had their endosperm taken out and the last one was even charred.

    All the Beastmen rushed into the stone chamber, searching everywhere for the location of the person who snatched the Pills away.

    "Oh my god, isn''t this Wang Meishui? She''s a first grade Xuanzun cultivator." A spirit beast came to the front of female hyena. Although her body was already charred, the spirit beast still recognized her and exclaimed out loud.

    Although Human Realm was the weakest out of the five realms, a first stage Xuanzun was still an expert.

    All the spirit beast present fell silent. Naturally, the death of a first stage Xuanzun was not enough to silence everyone, but Wang Fu Ning''s partner was a Ranker that everyone in Beast Kingdom knew.

    "I heard you guys talking about it from far away. Tell me, who did it?" Just as everyone was silent, a voice filled with killing intent sounded out. Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the stone chamber, only to see a tall and strong man standing at the entrance.

    If it wasn''t for everyone who knew him, he would have thought that he was Homo sapiens, but in truth, it was because his cultivation was too high, so his appearance was no different from Homo sapiens''s. He was Beast Kingdom''s famous Wu Chang, Wang Fu Ning''s companion.

    Seeing Wu Chang, everyone revealed a terrified expression. The voice of the Saliva sounded and everyone instinctively took a few steps back.

    Chapter 155 - Spiritual Gathering Array of the Heavens and the Earth

    As Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng walked along the secret passage, the dark passage was not as humid as they had imagined. After walking for around an hour in the secret passage, the two were so hot that they were sweating profusely.

    Although Zhou Zhileng did not train himself, and did not have a good physique, Xia Xuan was, after all, a Mystical King Ranker, and his physical body was much stronger than some Xuanzun Ranker''s.

    As a result, Xia Xuan had no choice but to wrap the spiritual energy between himself and Zhou Zhileng, and only then did he manage to isolate some of the temperature.

    After walking for an unknown amount of time, a trace of light appeared at the far end of the secret pathway. Looking at that light, the two of them had a very serious gaze, the thing after that light had caused Deicide to die three times, and this was his last chance.

    After seeing the light, Xia Xuan could not help but turn to look at Zhou Zhileng. He was unable to deal with the light after it, because the owner of the light had once left a message that the creator of the array would be the one to enter later, Zhou Zhileng who was in front of him.

    This was also why Zhou Zhileng was born with no way to train himself. It was because the creator of the formation wanted him to focus on studying the Five Element Eight Trigrams.

    "Don''t worry. This time, I will definitely break the formation." Noticing Xia Xuan''s gaze, Zhou Zhileng forced out a smile, and comforted him.

    The three failures had already caused him to despair in his heart. Every time he saw the Deicide''s reincarnation die, his heart would hurt greatly. After that, he would always lock himself up and wholeheartedly study the five elements and eight trigrams.

    This was the fourth time he was breaking through the formation, and also the last. If he succeeded, he would be able to repay Xia Xuan for his help.

    After taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhileng took the lead and walked towards the direction of the light.

    Although they could already see the exit, another hour had passed when the two of them arrived at the exit. Before he could walk out of the secret passage, a hot wind blew over, and even with the protection of the spiritual energy, he could not help but feel extremely hot.

    "Phew ˇŞ" After taking a deep breath, Zhou Zhileng finally took a step towards the exit.

    Walking out of the secret passageway, what appeared before him was a sea of fiery red flames. The burning heat assaulted his face, scalding his skin until it turned yellow.

    Not too far away, there was a stone stele. There were many small words on the stele, and even though it was their fourth time here, they couldn''t help but want to see the small words on the stele.

    I have studied the five elements and gained success at the age of six, I am already a master at the age of fifteen, the people call me the Sky Lock Emperor, today I have established this formation with everything I learned, and named it the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Seizing Formation, I hope that my descendants can follow my teachings and break this formation.

    After reciting the words on the stone tablet, Zhou Zhileng suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the stone tablet.

    Zhou Zhileng scratched his head, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the stone tablet and enveloped Zhou Zhileng''s body, the high temperature in the air was no longer hot when it touched Zhou Zhileng''s body.

    "Thank you, ancestor." Covered in light, Zhou Zhileng immediately thanked towards the stone tablet. He believed that there was a remnant soul of an ancestor inside this domain.

    Looking at Zhou Zhileng''s back figure who was kneeling on the ground, Xia Xuan suddenly squinted his eyes and looked towards the sky. Although he could only see the rock walls, Xia Xuan had a feeling that someone was staring at him all the time and that that person''s strength was probably even stronger than him as a Deicide.

    "Brother Zhou is amazing. He actually arrived here first." At this moment, laughter rang out. Yan Luoyang slowly walked over, and behind him were a few demons.

    For thousands of years, other than Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng, the only people who were able to come here were Yan Luoyang and a few others. It was not because of any barrier, but because only those who were proficient in the eight elements could find this path, and it was simply a coincidence that they would not be able to come here.

    "Why would the Brother Yan come here?" Zhou Zhileng stood up, and cupped his hands to Yan Luoyang as he spoke.

    "The Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder is the strongest formation of the five elements eight trigrams. As someone who studies the five elements eight trigrams, he naturally has to come and test it out." Yan Luoyang faintly smiled, and then turned his gaze towards the raging inferno.

    "The Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder can only be broken after the creator has entered. Brother Yan, please do not break it ˇ­" Seeing the blazing fire in Yan Luoyang''s eyes, Zhou Zhileng couldn''t help but frown at the brow. In order to break the Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder, one must first enter the formation.

    Before Zhou Zhileng could finish his sentence, Yan Luoyang waved his hand, and said again, "The Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder was also created by a human, so our lives are not up to the heavens. How can we believe these words when studying the gossip of the five elements?"

    "Brother Yan, I failed these three times." Seeing Yan Luoyang''s attitude, Zhou Zhileng knew that simple advice was useless, and needed to be used in a ruthless manner.

    "Brother Zhou''s failure does not mean that I will fail as well." Yan Luoyang was not moved by Zhou Zhileng''s words, he was confident that his research on the Five Element Eight Trigrams would not lose to anyone''s.

    "I''ve been focusing on the Five Elements Eight Trigrams for close to ten thousand years." When Zhou Zhileng said this, Yan Luoyang was immediately shocked. After ten thousand years, even a fool should have become a master, and Zhou Zhileng was no fool after all.

    Which was to say that Zhou Zhileng''s understanding of the Five Element Eight Trigrams was definitely not inferior to Yan Luoyang''s.

    "At least I''ve tried." Yan Luoyang gritted his teeth and said forcefully.

    Seeing that Yan Luoyang was trying to be strong, Zhou Zhileng couldn''t help but nod his head. Failure is not scary at all, what''s scary is that they retreated before they even tried.

    Turning their heads to look at Xia Xuan, Zhou Zhileng and Xia Xuan nodded at the same time. Xia Xuan then put down the little Zheng, took a deep breath and walked over to the raging flames.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was already prepared to charge into the array, Yan Luoyang looked towards the young Demon Dwellers behind him who held a shield in his hand. That Demon Dwellers was fearless as it came to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Xia Xuan in front of the raging fire.

    "Top ten, right, left, seven." Zhou Zhileng''s eyes became serious as he focused on the raging flames and spoke.

    As Zhou Zhileng''s words fell, Xia Xuan directly jumped into the flames, but the imagined Raging Inferno Flames did not appear. Originally, this sea of flames was real or fake, and relying on his naked eye and senses, he was unable to discern if the flames were real or fake.

    Jumping into the sea of fire, Xia Xuan didn''t hesitate at all as he directly walked forward ten steps, then to the right after that five steps, and finally to the left seven steps.

    Seeing Xia Xuan walk so far away under Zhou Zhileng''s guidance in such a short amount of time, Yan Luoyang couldn''t help but feel admiration in his heart, and after calculating for a while, he also said: "Top six, left three, right fifteen."

    The Demon Dwellers that was hit by the shield heard Yan Luoyang and immediately jumped into the sea of fire. When he safely landed on the ground, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

    Gazing into the depths of the sea of fire, the demon took six quick steps forward without hesitation. Turning his head, he took three more steps to the left before heading to the right.

    Fifteen steps didn''t take long. When the young Demon Dwellers finished taking the fifteenth step, it turned its head towards Yan Luoyang, preparing to listen to his next command. However, what he saw instead was Yan Luoyang''s astonished face.

    Turning his head to look at his feet, he saw that the raging flames had already burnt his feet, and the flames were still spreading to his entire body, but he did not feel anything. He watched helplessly as his body was burned away, and a wave of fear instantly crawled out.

    "AHH!"

 C156

    Chapter 156 - Lord of the Five Realms (1)

    Looking at his companion who had been burnt to ashes, the other Demon Dwellers behind Yan Luoyang all felt fear in their hearts.

    Yan Luoyang looked at the place where his companion had died with an inconceivable look in his eyes. His first step had been wrong, and this was a huge blow to anyone.

    He turned around and looked at his companions behind him. He could see the fear in their eyes. If not for Yan Luoyang''s reward, they would not have come here.

    "Let me do it." He must get what Yan Luoyang said, even if he dies in the end, at least his family would be able to get the money.

    Looking at the skinny Demon Dwellers, Yan Luoyang couldn''t help but nod his head, patting its shoulder and said, "I will double your reward."

    Hearing Yan Luoyang''s words, the skinny Demon Dwellers''s eyes filled with tears of gratitude, nodded at Yan Luoyang, and then leaped into the fire. It did as Yan Luoyang said, and took a few steps forward, but it didn''t take the last step.

    Looking at the bonfire for a long time, Yan Luoyang then said, "Seven on the right, two on the left."

    The thin Demon Dwellers heard Yan Luoyang''s words, and immediately took seven steps to the right. Just as he was about to turn left, he realized that he had lost control of his body.

    "Please take care of my family." Skinny Demon Dwellers didn''t have any expression of fear before it was burnt to nothingness, instead, he smiled and said to Yan Luoyang.

    Looking at the place where the thin Demon Dwellers was burned, Yan Luoyang clenched his fists so hard that they made creaking sounds. As the number one genius of Demon World, he had suffered setbacks twice in a row from the very beginning, which was not a small blow to his self-esteem.

    Looking at his two remaining companions behind him, Yan Luoyang finally let out a sigh and said, "It''s up to you whether I go or not, I''ll give you the compensation."

    The two of them looked at each other, and one of the strong Demon Dwellers said to the other: "You still have parents and children to take care of at home, let me go."

    "I''m a lone wolf, and I don''t want to become infamous. Let me go. If I die, then give him my share." The tall and sturdy Demon Dwellers said to Yan Luoyang. Then without any hesitation, he jumped into the sea of fire and arrived behind the Skinny Demon Dwellers.

    This time, Yan Luoyang didn''t dare to make the slightest mistake. He calculated for half an hour before saying, "Right seven, left seven."

    The tall and sturdy Demon Dwellers took a deep breath, and then fiercely rushed out a few steps. It didn''t take long for Yan Luoyang to finish speaking and when he looked at his feet, he discovered that his feet were still there.

    A smile appeared on his face, but just as he looked towards Yan Luoyang and was about to listen to his next order, a gigantic fire snake suddenly jumped out from the sea of flames behind him.

    "Be careful." Looking at the fire snake, Yan Luoyang suddenly widened his eyes, and shouted towards the strong Demon Dwellers.

    The tall and strong Demon Dwellers also felt the existence of the fire snake. When it turned around, the snake''s mouth was already in front of it.

    Just then, a black scale lance suddenly burst forth, the pike pierced through the head of the fire snake, but the fire snake did not stop, it only stopped when it reached the body of the strong Demon Dwellers.

    When the flames touched the tall and strong Demon Dwellers, they had already spread throughout its entire body. Without waiting for the tall and strong Demon Dwellers to even have the slightest reaction, they were already burnt to ashes.

    The Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder was obviously not a simple way to differentiate between the true flames. The most important thing for Tian Lin Continent to do was to obtain spiritual energy s, and since this formation dared to call itself Spirit Plunder, it was naturally the strongest formation in the world. In the sea of fire, there were only unexpected traps. These traps were calculated, but they were very difficult to calculate.

    Yan Luoyang looked at the last Demon Dwellers and finally shook his head. This Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder was really not something he could break, he still lacked cultivation experience.

    "You can leave, I''ll get someone to send the reward to your house." Yan Luoyang waved his hand, and sighed.

    As soon as the Demon Dwellers heard what Yan Luoyang said, it immediately calmed down, hurried to thank Yan Luoyang, and then ran towards the secret path that they had taken.

    "To be able to take so many steps on his first try, Brother Zhou is truly admirable." Looking at the back of the Demon Dwellers as it left, Zhou Zhileng cupped his hands towards Yan Luoyang and said. It was the first time he came to break the formation, so Xia Xuan didn''t live long.

 C157

    Chapter 157 - Lord of the Five Realms (2)

    "Ai, three lives, what''s there to admire?" Yan Luoyang said with a self-deprecating tone. He then sat down on a rock, completely ignoring the boiling temperature of the rock. He lowered his head, looking very disappointed.

    Seeing Yan Luoyang''s dejected look, Zhou Zhileng had no other choice but to turn his gaze towards the sea of fire. His gaze swept across the surroundings in the sea of fire, not missing out on any details.

    "Left, six, right, seven, and then jump five steps." Zhou Zhileng said after he finished his calculations.

    Following Zhou Zhileng''s instructions, Xia Xuan took six steps to the left, then seven steps to the right. When he was finished, he suddenly jumped, and actually jumped five steps to the right.

    Just like this, Xia Xuan''s journey in the sea of flames was smooth sailing, and he had already walked nearly a hundred steps. The entire formation had also walked close to a third of the way, and even Yan Luoyang no longer lowered his head in disappointment.

    Within the sea of fire, just as Xia Xuan had reached the location indicated by Zhou Zhileng, the flamethrower had already appeared in his hands. He could feel the sea of fire around him beginning to churn, as if something was about to emerge from the sea of fire.

    "Be careful, there are beast flames here." Zhou Zhileng shouted towards Xia Xuan, causing black lines to cover his face. Zhou Zhileng knew that there was a trap in this place.

    When the flames rushed out, they immediately condensed into a gigantic tiger. The flame tiger glared at Xia Xuan with its fierce eyes, and could still hear the breathing of the tiger, even though the tiger was only condensed from flames, it already had intelligence. Even with Deicide''s experience, he could not help but sigh.

    His gaze swept all over the sea of flames, and relied on some clues to continuously calculate, but no matter how Zhou Zhileng calculated, he could not calculate the next path. It was as if he had let Xia Xuan walk into a dead end.

    Zhou Zhileng plopped down on the ground. This was his fourth and last time, could it be that he would still fail? Was all his thousands of years of hard work wasted?

    A sense of despair arose in his heart. Perhaps the failure of the previous three times had once disappointed him, but this time it was definitely not as simple as disappointment. This time it was despair.

    "Hey, pull yourself together. Your brother is still in the sea of fire." Seeing Zhou Zhileng''s expression, Yan Luoyang immediately knew what was going on, and immediately shouted out. Now that he already regarded Zhou Zhileng as his idol, he didn''t want his idol to be so frustrated.

    Zhou Zhileng lifted his head and the somewhat absent-minded binocular looked towards Xia Xuan''s direction. When he saw the giant flame tiger that was still facing Xia Xuan, he couldn''t help but think of something.

    "Brother, do you believe in me?" Zhou Zhileng suddenly said.

    Xia Xuan was also a little confused by Zhou Zhileng''s question, but he still replied: "With my life, I will."

    "Then charge towards the Blazing Tiger." Zhou Zhileng''s words stunned Xia Xuan and Yan Luoyang, Yan Luoyang wasn''t able to tell that there was anything wrong with this tiger.

    Although he was shocked, Xia Xuan quickly understood what Zhou Zhileng meant. With a smile on his face, he rushed towards the giant tiger without hesitation.

    In an astonishing scene, Xia Xuan fiercely rushed towards the giant tiger, but the anticipated blazing fire body did not appear. Xia Xuan actually directly passed through the giant flame body and safely landed on the ground.

    As Xia Xuan landed on the ground, the sea of flames actually began to slowly disappear, and the surrounding walls of rocks also disappeared.

    "Welcome to the world this old man created. A thousand years ago, this old man was called Lord of the Five Realms."

 C158

    Chapter 158 - Succession

    "Welcome to the world this old man created. A thousand years ago, this old man was called Lord of the Five Realms." The figure looked to be an ordinary old man. Normally, everyone would think that this was a normal Old Man without any Qi Cultivating Stage.

    However, this was not an ordinary time, the three of them were in the mysterious space, so being able to appear here was definitely not an ordinary person. Being unable to see the Old Man''s strength, it could only mean that this Old Man''s strength was far above Xia Xuan''s.

    "Lord of the Five Realms ˇ­" The Tian Lin Continent only had one realm, and that was man, god, devil, spirit, and beast. This Old Man actually dared to say that she was the ruler of the five realms, and even as a Deicide, he had never heard of such a thing.

    Old Man slowly turned around and looked at Xia Xuan and the other two.

    It was a benevolent face, although he had a head full of white hair, he did not look old at all. He looked very spirited, and just by looking at him, one could tell that he was subliming a soul.

    "Senior, I wonder if the Five Realms are referring to the Human, Devil, Spirit, Beast, and Five Realms?" Xia Xuan was the first to recover, he cupped his hands and said to Old Man.

    "That''s right." Even though Xia Xuan had already guessed it, when he heard these words from the Old Man, he could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

    The Five Realms from a hundred million years ago were extremely strong. Even the current The Divine Realm s were only considered a small region to the Human Realm from a hundred million years ago. Even though the Human Realm s had already declined, it still wasn''t enough to obscure the glory of the Five Realms from a hundred million years ago.

    However, when the Old Man said that he was the Lord of the Five Realms, the other person might not believe it. However, Xia Xuan knew that there was indeed someone that ruled the Five Realms at that time, and the goal of the battle was to overthrow that person.

    Now that he saw the Old Man and heard the Old Man''s description of him, Xia Xuan believed that the person in front of him was indeed the Lord of the Five Realms. Although the current Lord of the Five Realms was only a strand of soul left behind in the world, even this strand of remnant soul might not necessarily be his opponent even if he were to win during the period of his life, which showed just how strong he was.

    "I am Xia Xuan, greetings Lord of the Five Realms." Confirming the identity of the Old Man, Xia Xuan did not dare to be negligent at all and immediately knelt on one knee, as he said respectfully.

    Zhou Zhileng and Yan Luoyang looked at each other, then also kneeled down with a "Putong" sound, and said: "Greetings, Lord of the Five Realms."

    "Get up." Old Man waved his sleeves and an invisible force carried Xia Xuan and the other two up. Old Man''s gaze turned to Zhou Zhileng and said, "You are Old Zhou''s lackey, right? That old fellow asked me to set up a formation to protect you before he died, but in the end, I had to wait for over a hundred million years before I could even find you. What a stinky brat."

    Zhou Zhileng laughed awkwardly, he did not know what to say, then he would not blame the Lord of the Five Realms for saying weird things about his own ancestors, and would also not cooperate with the Lord of the Five Realms in speaking.

    "This is what Old Zhou entrusted me to pass on to you." The Lord of the Five Realms smiled, and then waved his hand, and a Pills floated towards Zhou Zhileng. The Pills was releasing a dense spiritual energy pressure, and even Xia Xuan was terrified of it.

    "This is?" Zhou Zhileng caught the Pills with his two hands and bent down as he spoke to Lord of the Five Realms.

    "Swallow it." The Lord of the Five Realms did not answer Zhou Zhileng''s question, but smiled faintly, and the words that came out shocked the three of them. He directly swallowed the Pills, and with Zhou Zhileng''s strength, he would probably explode from the Pills in an instant.

    Zhou Zhileng looked at the Lord of the Five Realms, then looked at the Pills, and could not help but swallow down a mouthful of the Saliva.

    When the Pills entered his body, in practically an instant, Zhou Zhileng''s entire person expanded to become a fat man who was eight feet tall and eight feet wide.

    Just as Zhou Zhileng''s body was about to explode and die, Lord of the Five Realms waved his hand. It was as if a divine hand had grabbed Zhou Zhileng, and his expanding body quickly returned to normal.

    "This is the Pills that your ancestors left behind, relying on it, you can start cultivating, and your current cultivation level is Fourth rank Xuan Lord. In the future, your cultivation speed will far surpass anyone else." After returning Zhou Zhileng back to his normal state, Lord of the Five Realms placed his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, as if there was a figure that he was missing a lot.

    "I thank the ancestor and Lord of the Five Realms for their kindness." Hearing what the Lord of the Five Realms said, Zhou Zhileng immediately kneeled down and expressed his thanks. At the same time, he looked into the distance, he believed that a person as powerful as his ancestor must have left behind a remnant spirit.

    "The talent of this Teenage is not bad. This old man will pass on his own understanding of the Five Element Eight Trigrams to you, then I will accept you as my disciple." Some gazes from Lord of the Five Realms turned towards Yan Luoyang.

    Previously, Lord of the Five Realms had been observing everything. Although Yan Luoyang had failed, he was already a genius since he was able to take five steps inside the Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder. A young man like Yan Luoyang was absolutely qualified to be his disciple.

    The Lord of the Five Realms waved his hand, and a ray of light shot into Yan Luoyang''s mind, after that, an incomparably huge amount of information immediately appeared in his mind, under the huge amount of information, Yan Luoyang''s brain felt like it was going to faint, his entire person suddenly stood rooted to the spot, the binocular was already lifeless.

    "You two leave first, I''ll have a chat with this young man in private." Lord of the Five Realms said in a dignified voice after finishing everything. Then, he waved his hand and Zhou Zhileng and Yan Luoyang disappeared.

    In the space, only Xia Xuan and Lord of the Five Realms were left. When Xia Xuan looked at Lord of the Five Realms, his gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and an innate killing intent surged out from Xia Xuan''s body.

    "Lord of the Five Realms, interesting." The gaze that Xia Xuan looked at Lord of the Five Realms with was no longer respectful. With one hand holding his chin, his eyes swept across Lord of the Five Realms''s body, without any concealment.

    "Deicide, come take a look at these." Lord of the Five Realms did not have the slightest aversion to Xia Xuan''s actions. Instead, it was his actions that caused Lord of the Five Realms to want to talk about proper business.

    Not far away, there was a stone pavilion, and in the middle of the stone pavilion, there were two people playing chess. If one looked carefully, they would realize that one of the two people was Lord of the Five Realms, and although Xia Xuan had never seen the other person, the person who was able to chat with the Lord of the Five Realms and play chess was definitely not some nameless junior.

 C159

    Chapter 159 - The Theory of All Things

    Da. As the chess piece landed, the Lord of the Five Realms looked at the person playing, and laughed: "Little Hua, I won again."

    The man called Little Hua looked at Lord of the Five Realms, his eyes filled with worry, and said: "Those rebel soldiers are already outside the hall, aren''t you worried at all?"

    After hearing what the man said, the smile on Lord of the Five Realms''s face disappeared, he walked to the side of the pavilion, then looked into the distance and sighed: "People have ambitions, and since they want to overthrow my rule, then let them be, since I no longer want to be this Lord of the Five Realms anymore."

    "But ˇ­" Hearing that, Little Hua was startled, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Lord of the Five Realms''s tired figure, he was unable to say anything.

    The scene changed, it was no longer shrouded by immortal mist, but a pungent smell. This was a battlefield where hundreds of millions of people were fighting and killing, and the blood of the dead had long dyed the ground red. Everyone was killed with bloodshot eyes, without any fear.

    Xia Xuan was stupefied with his gaze alone. More than half of these hundred million people were Divine level experts, and if the Deicide at his peak was imitated, he would probably just be an ordinary Soldiers. Xia Xuan had never imagined that the five realms, which had lasted for hundreds of millions of years, would actually be powerful to such an extent.

    "This is the great war from a hundred million years ago." Lord of the Five Realms looked at Xia Xuan''s stunned face and laughed.

    "You didn''t go to war?" Xia Xuan asked in puzzlement. Previously, he did not see Fifth Sister''s figure appearing on the battlefield.

    "Have you heard of the Six Paths of Samsara?" Lord of the Five Realms suddenly asked.

    "Of course I do." Xia Xuan was stunned, and replied. All living things in this world followed the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Even gods only had an extremely long lifespan. There would always be a day when they would die, and they wouldn''t be able to escape the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

    Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, he realized the meaning behind Lord of the Five Realms''s words. Could it be that Lord of the Five Realms had already gone beyond the sixth stage?

    Seeming to know what Xia Xuan was thinking, the Lord of the Five Realms smiled benevolently and said: "That''s right, I have already torn six cycles of reincarnation and went to another plane."

    Upon hearing Lord of the Five Realms''s words, Xia Xuan sucked in a cold breath of air. Even the Deicide at their peak had never thought of surpassing the six paths, because even Deicide did not dare to think of that. Even a hundred million Deicide would not be able to surpass the six samsara.

    Lord of the Five Realms waved his hand again, and the two of them returned to the empty space. Seeing Xia Xuan''s still surprised face, Lord of the Five Realms couldn''t help but smile.

    "This remnant soul of mine has been spying on the Five Realms since a thousand years ago. I''ve always seen your experience. I believe that you have come here to obtain my legacy." The Lord of the Five Realms said.

    Xia Xuan knew, to possess such a large ruin, its master must not be someone to be trifled with. This kind of expert, before his death, would definitely think about passing on his Qi Cultivation conscience to the sect. This was also the reason why Xia Xuan was here, this kind of expert''s inheritance would definitely allow him to cultivate at a tremendous pace in the future.

    Xia Xuan had guessed that the owner of the ruin had an incredible strength, but he never thought that this man was actually the strongest warrior in the Tian Lin Continent back then, the Lord of the Five Realms.

    "Sit down." The Lord of the Five Realms said again.

    Hearing that, Xia Xuan immediately sat down cross legged, his hands forming a seal, forming a cultivation state.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was seated, the Lord of the Five Realms gently raised both of his hands, and an invisible force floated out. The invisible force seemed to be extremely powerful, seemingly invisible, but in reality, it contained the principles of heaven and earth.

    The formless energy floated above Xia Xuan''s head for a while, and then passed through Xia Xuan''s Hundred Meetings Acupoint and entered his body.

    Just as the Invisible Qi entered Xia Xuan''s mind, a sense of expansion emerged. Just a strand of Invisible Qi was enough to give Xia Xuan a splitting headache.

    "Hold on, this energy of all living things contains the principles of all living things. It will not burst your mind, but the process will be very painful." The Lord of the Five Realms warned.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan gave a light grunt, then the gingiva clenched its teeth, trying its best not to let out a cry.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s actions, the Lord of the Five Realms could not help but nod his head. Then, he waved his hand, and an invisible energy continuously entered Xia Xuan''s Hundred Meetings Acupoint.

    There was a truth to everything in existence, and through contact, one could comprehend this truth. Some people would never be able to comprehend a sliver in their entire life, but some people could, for example, comprehend a sliver. For mortals, this sliver of truth could turn the entire Human Realm upside down.

    Right now, the Lord of the Five Realms was releasing more than just a sliver of Invisible Qi. The entire space was surrounded by the Invisible Qi like a fairyland, it was extremely shocking. If not for Lord of the Five Realms taking care of the invisible energy, with Xia Xuan''s current strength, he would have been turned into an idiot in an instant.

    Xia Xuan was sweating profusely, the gingiva had already lost blood due to using too much strength, and the blood mixed with the sweat. The sound of the blood hitting the ground was clearly audible in the air.

    "Hold on." Lord of the Five Realms gave a warning and then waved his hand. An invisible energy started to revolve crazily and in the process, it formed the shape of a Giant dragon. The heaven and earth seemed to tremble as the Giant dragon breathed.

    The Giant dragon turned its eyes towards Xia Xuan and roared towards the sky as if it had a soul of its own.

    The Giant dragon crashed into Xia Xuan''s Hundred Meetings Acupoint, yet the Xia Xuan who looked like an ant in front of the Giant dragon was absorbing an endless stream of invisible energy, like a black hole, no matter how much invisible energy was poured into it, it was unable to fill it up.

    In the end, they could no longer hold back the painful screams anymore. The veins on Xia Xuan''s entire body were popping up, and the meridian on his forehead was squirming like an earthworm. It was extremely terrifying.

    "You have to hold on." Although Lord of the Five Realms still had a calm face, he was already extremely nervous in his heart. This kind of pain was unbearable even for gods, although Xia Xuan had an extremely high Inherent Skill, there was still a great risk for him to be able to endure this gigantic wave of formless energy.

    After that, a wave of spiritual energy s exploded outwards with Xia Xuan as the center. The wave of spiritual energy s spread throughout the entire space, and finally disappeared at the edge of the horizon.

    When the veins recovered, Xia Xuan''s binocular s turned white, and its entire body opened its mouth wide. If not for the occasional breath being released, anyone would have thought that he was dead.

    "He really is tenacious." Lord of the Five Realms looked at Xia Xuan''s figure who was barely exhaling, and couldn''t help but to shake his head with a smile. In the past thousands of years, Xia Xuan wasn''t the only one who had reached this place, but the only one who could endure the pain of the inheritance. This youth might be able to fulfill his wish.

    Xia Xuan returned back to normal and barely opened his eyes. He looked at Lord of the Five Realms and said with difficulty: "I, succeeded."

    After saying that, Xia Xuan plopped down, and fell into a coma.

 C160

    Chapter 160 - Departure

    Lord of the Five Realms walked over to Xia Xuan, and looked at his unconscious face, and was stunned.

    With one soul missing from Xia Xuan''s body, this strand of soul left a trace in the air. Following this trace, one could see that this strand of soul was actually headed towards another dimension.

    "Interesting, this is a great opportunity." Lord of the Five Realms looked at the unconscious Xia Xuan, rubbed his chin and laughed.

    Everyone will have a lot of opportunities in their lives, maybe you would accidentally have the opportunity to do so, and to be able to grasp the opportunity is to obtain the opportunity of the heaven and earth. In the future, their achievements will definitely not be ordinary, but if you cannot seize the opportunity, then you will only be able to mediocre and mediocre life.

    There was one type of opportunity that was extremely unique. soul would be able to reach the six paths, and one would not know what they would encounter there, but they would definitely be able to comprehend the six paths of reincarnation.

    In the hundreds of millions of years of the Tian Lin Continent''s existence, only one person had ever been outside of the six paths.

    This was an incomparably dark space. Even if one extended one''s hand, one would not be able to see one''s five fingers. One would not even know just how big this space was.

    Just then, a soul floated in the space. The soul became the first light that appeared in the space for the last hundred million years, and that light was Xia Xuan''s soul that had left his body.

    At this time, Xia Xuan was lying down on his back, floating leisurely in the air. There was nothing in this space, and he didn''t want to control his flying speed either. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the endless darkness, drifting about freely.

    Xia Xuan''s floating speed became slower and slower, until finally, Xia Xuan stopped and did not drift away anymore.

    Xia Xuan, who was no longer floating, finally regained his spirit. Standing in the air, he looked around him.

    "This place is?" Xia Xuan looked at his surroundings and said instinctively.

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan realized that no one would answer him and an awkward expression immediately hung on his face. He no longer spoke, wanting to float around.

    "Clang" Just as Xia Xuan was about to control the soul to fly forward, he bumped into something, and a clanging sound immediately rang out.

    Rubbing his forehead, Xia Xuan curiously looked in front of him. Just what was stopping him?

    Looking closer, Xia Xuan did not see anything in front of him.

    Xia Xuan slowly extended his hand forward as he tried to find out what it was that he couldn''t see.

    His hand stretched out straight, but did not touch anything, which puzzled Xia Xuan, and immediately retracted his hand.

    Right at this moment, an image suddenly appeared in Xia Xuan''s mind. It was a different set of Mainland, there were countless of people there, and every single one of them had extremely strong strength. This world had a clear system, and just from seeing this image, Xia Xuan''s brain was shaken greatly.

    He hurriedly retracted his hand, and there was still a hint of shock in Xia Xuan''s eyes. Not only was it that scene, there was also an extremely mystical power, that power did not belong to the six paths, yet it had a kind of six paths of power. Subconsciously, Xia Xuan had already guessed what he had touched earlier, and it was the six borders of the world.

    "This ˇ­" Xia Xuan clenched his fist, and tried his best to recall the power he had felt earlier. This power, no matter what Xia Xuan had comprehended, he could not completely comprehend it, but it was precisely this that made Xia Xuan even more excited.

    After tasting the sweetness, Xia Xuan was prepared to reach out for the border, but before he could reach out, a power suddenly appeared and mercilessly dragged Xia Xuan back to where he came from. No matter how hard he struggled, Xia Xuan was unable to break free from the restraints of that power.

    When the sight before his eyes turned dark, Xia Xuan''s soul instantly returned to his body. The binocular suddenly opened its eyes and took deep breaths.

    "I''ve finally woken up. How was it? What did you get?" Seeing Xia Xuan awake, Lord of the Five Realms stood beside him with a benevolent smile, and said with a benevolent voice.

    "I can see that outside of the six paths, I can also feel the power of the six paths." Xia Xuan stared at himself until he was done slapping his palm, and said that Xia Xuan was still recalling the power that he had touched earlier.

    "Oh!" Even when he had entered the borders of the Six Paths a hundred million years ago, he had not seen anything other than the scenery outside. However, Xia Xuan had. Maybe, Xia Xuan had the strength to fulfill his wish.

    "Are you leaving?" Calming the surprise in his heart, Lord of the Five Realms said with a calm voice.

    "Mm, time to go." Xia Xuan nodded his head, then looked up to the sky, where the harvest was so great, it was unknown if other people would be envious if they knew.

    At this moment, the ruins did not remain calm as time passed. The ones who were rebelling were all incomparably alert, and the weaker ones had even grouped together.

    The remains were already closed. Everyone was already standing outside the remains, and the remains did not shrink back underground because they were closed, because there were still three people within the remains who had yet to come out. Those three people were Xia Xuan, the Zhou Zhileng Ruins, Yan Luoyang.

    Everyone believed that the reason why the remains didn''t return to the ground was related to the three of them. To spread it to the hidden places in the ruins, there had to be the inheritance of the owner.

    Most people had the same thought in their minds, and that was to forcibly seize the inheritance.

    "Rumble." The gates to the ruins suddenly opened, and three figures could be vaguely seen walking out slowly.

    Three human figures walked out of the ruins, the sunlight shining on San''er''s face, illuminating their faces. The three were none other than Xia Xuan, Zhou Zhileng and Yan Luoyang.

    "Big brother!" When she saw Xia Xuan, Yan Shuang was the first to rush over. Her delicate body fiercely charged into Xia Xuan''s embrace, her arms wrapped around Xia Xuan''s waist, her entire face buried in Xia Xuan''s chest.

    Ever since Xia Xuan said he would visit the ruins, Yan Shuang had been worried. She was really afraid that Xia Xuan would not return, and she would no longer have any family members in this world.

    "Silly child, aren''t I perfectly fine?" Xia Xuan gently caressed the Flaming Frost''s smooth golden hair and said.

    Xia Xuan clearly felt that there was a type of wetness in his chest, which made Yan Shuang want to cry.

    "Yes." Yan Shuang left Xia Xuan''s chest and turned his head to the side, not allowing Xia Xuan to see his crying face.

    "Have you guys had enough? Hurry up and hand over the inheritance. We can spare your lives." Right at this moment, a rough voice sounded out. Everyone turned to look at a direction within the crowd. A tall and strong man was staring at Xia Xuan fiercely.

    "The inheritance is on me. If you have the ability, then come and take it." Just at this moment, Yan Luoyang suddenly spoke up, and a third of the crowd stood up. Those people were Demon Dwellers s, and the Demon Dwellers s surrounded Yan Luoyang, vigilantly looking at the people around them.

    The Divine Realm was number one, Human Realm was the weakest realm that was enslaved by The Divine Realm, and Demon World was ranked second among the Five Realms. It was the place where only a few other people other than Deities dared to publicly take down Demon Dwellers s. The strength of the five realms was actually ranked first, the The Divine Realm was the weakest realm that was enslaved by The Divine Realm, and the Demon World was ranked second among the Five Realms.

    "Hmph, let''s go." Seeing that no one dared to make a move, Yan Luoyang coldly snorted, and then left with countless Demon Dwellers.

    When Yan Luoyang was about to fly far away, she couldn''t help but give Xia Xuan a glance, and Xia Xuan was also looking at him. Xia Xuan naturally knew what Yan Luoyang meant, if Yan Luoyang claimed that he had inherited her powers, then the others wouldn''t make things difficult for Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng.

 C161

    Chapter 161 - Wu Chang

    had always been one foot in front of you, so he would return the favor by ten feet. Since Yan Luoyang could think about him in such a way, Xia Xuan had already engraved this in his heart.

    "Mn, you must be Xia Xuan." At this moment, a voice filled with anger resounded. It attracted everyone''s attention. It was the person who was speaking right before he went to sleep.

    Looking at the tall and strong man, Xia Xuan frowned. He didn''t know why but this person gave him a familiar feeling.

    "Who are you?" Although the man was no different from the Homo sapiens, Xia Xuan could still tell that the man was an Orc. Moreover, he wasn''t an ordinary spirit beast, the man''s real body should be a Earth Shaking Blood Tiger.

    Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a clan of spirit beast that was considered one of the eight Great Clans in Beast Kingdom, and was an existence that was on par with the Dragon Clan.

    "Do you still remember the four hydatid that you killed?" The man stared fiercely at Xia Xuan, his voice filled with killing intent.

    "So, you are Wu Chang?" The moment Xia Xuan heard the hydatid, he immediately understood. Amongst the Beastmen, there was no one who did not know of the famous Wu Chang, his profound strength was extremely terrifying.

    When the surrounding people heard Xia Xuan''s words, their gazes were filled with fear. Everyone had heard of Wu Chang''s name before, he was a guy who could make people tremble with fear just by hearing his name. Many people had only heard of him before, but would now like to sigh at the terror of his killing intent when they saw him in person.

    "What are you going to do about Wang Zi Ning?" Wu Chang looked at Xia Xuan with an incomparably ferocious gaze as killing intent surged. The aura of his Fourth rank Xuan Lord was completely revealed, and some of the weaker people in the surroundings were instantly suppressed by the aura until they could not breathe.

    "It''s just a hydatid, do you still want to take revenge?" Xia Xuan spread his hands, a playful smile hung on his face, completely ignoring Wu Chang''s revealed killing intent.

    Although Xia Xuan and Suo Balang had defeated the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium together, Wu Chang was not something that the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium could compare to. Wu Chang had stayed at the Fourth rank Xuan Lord for a long time, and his powerful bloodline power was not something the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium could compare to.

    "Kid who doesn''t know his place." Wu Chang was so angry by Xia Xuan''s words that his veins started to bulge, but he had to say that his rationality surpassed others. Even though he managed to hold back under such circumstances, he turned around and said to the people around him: "Everyone, although the inheritance has been taken away by Yan Luoyang, I do not believe that these two will not reap any rewards. I will be in charge of dealing with them, you just need to put in a little bit of effort, what about it?"

    The surrounding people all perked up when they heard Wu Chang''s words. They all understood what Wu Chang meant, even if the inheritance was taken by Yan Luoyang, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng would more or less share of it. One must know that even a little would be a priceless treasure to ordinary people.

    Everyone present looked at Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng greedily. In their eyes, Xia Xuan and Zhou Zhileng was the future, the inheritance was the future of hope.

    "Sigh, you all. Do you really think that after killing us, he will hand the thing over to you? Don''t be used as a gun by others and still be happy." Just then, an old ridiculing laughter sounded out. Suo Balang slowly walked out of the crowd, the binocular was sharp as a blade as it stared at the people around him. Everyone who was stared at by him would subconsciously nod their head.

    "Suo Balang, you''re courting death." Others were afraid of Suo Balang, but he, Wu Chang, was not. The spiritual energy condensed in his palm, he raised his fist and rushed towards Suo Balang.

    "Your opponent is me." Just as Wu Chang was about to make his move, Xia Xuan had already rushed over. The flamethrower appeared in his hands in a flash and the spiritual energy began to spin at the tip of the flamethrower.

    "Humph!" Wu Chang snorted coldly, in his opinion, Xia Xuan only had the strength of Profound King of the Fifth Rank. Even if he stood there and was hit by Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan would not be able to hit him.

    He turned around and threw a punch towards Xia Xuan. This punch did not have any power, but just this powerless punch made Wu Chang regret his punch. When he felt the terrifying spiritual energy s at the tip of the flamethrower''s spear, his face immediately changed.

    The tip of the flamethrower''s spear came into contact with Wu Chang''s palm, tearing Wu Chang''s entire hand apart.

    Under the spiritual energy''s tearing sounds, Wu Chang''s entire person was pulled towards the flamethrower, as if he was going to be torn to shreds.

    Without being able to control his body, Wu Chang was immediately shocked. If flamethrower were to tear apart his own body like this, he would probably die here today.

    Gritting his teeth, Wu Chang did something that caused everyone to be dumbstruck. Wu Chang''s other hand formed a blade shape, the spiritual energy condensed on the palm, and actually slashed the other hand.

    Wu Chang grabbed onto the shoulder of his other hand tightly. The spiritual energy poured from his fingers into his shoulder, sealing the meridian and preventing his blood from flowing out.

    To be able to cut off one of his arms so decisively, there were no more than ten people that Xia Xuan knew. This was a type of self-mutilation.

    "All of you, remember this." Wu Chang said these harsh words before turning around and flying off into the distance.

    Wu Chang had naturally heard of the matter of Xia Xuan and Suo Balang defeating the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, but from his point of view, that Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium had only just broken through the Fourth rank Xuan Lord and underestimated the enemy, perhaps Suo Balang''s sneak attack was enough to win. He still did not believe that a Profound King of the Fifth Rank could be that strong.

    "Do you think I might let you run away?" Xia Xuan smirked, and then, a look of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Wu Bing''s actions were indeed decisive, but that did not mean that Xia Xuan would care for such a talent, Xia Xuan had cut off one of his arms, and the two of them had already accepted their enmity, the stronger the enemy, the greater Xia Xuan''s threat, and Xia Xuan was not a person who did not remove roots.

    In merely an instant, Xia Xuan had already appeared in front of Wu Chang. The tip of the flamethrower''s spear was pressed against Wu Chang''s neck as it stared coldly at Wu Chang. Wu Chang could clearly feel a wave of killing intent in its eyes.

    "You, how could you have such strength?" There was already fear in Wu Chang''s eyes, but Xia Xuan had unexpectedly erupted at such a speed in an instant, was this kind of strength really something that Mystical King could possess?

    "Right now, I am much stronger than I was a few days ago." Xia Xuan had a smile on his face, but in Wu Chang''s eyes, that smile was like a demon''s.

    "Goodbye." Xia Xuan did not drag on any longer, and spoke softly, after that, the flamethrower in his hand lightly pierced through Wu Chang''s neck.

 C162

    Chapter 162 - Progress

    Xia Xuan ruthlessly flung Jiao Yan Zhai, and the lifeless body of Wu Chang was thrown to the side, as he coldly looked at the people around him, but no one dared to look directly at him. Everyone unconsciously looked elsewhere, while rejoicing in their hearts from not being tempted by Wu Chang''s words earlier.

    "Is there anyone else who wants to rob?" Xia Xuan spoke in an ice-cold voice, causing everyone present to lower their heads.

    The current Xia Xuan could not be compared to the time he spent in the Martial City. He was only at the Profound King of the Fourth Rank back then, but now he had the Profound King of the Fifth Rank.

    When Xia Xuan landed on the ground, Xia Muning led a group of Stellar Martial Gate disciples and surrounded him, but these disciples were not vigilant at all. Instead, they encircled him while laughing happily, and within a few moves, a person with Fourth rank Xuan Lord was killed.

    "Alright." Xia Xuan was surrounded by a type of disciple for a long time, and in the end, calmed down after hearing Xia Xuan''s voice, and only heard him say, "Let''s return to the sect."

    "Oh!" The moment they heard that they were going back to the sect, everyone cheered and laughed as they turned to head towards the Martial City.

    Just as the group of disciples turned to look at the direction of the Martial City, they realised that the crowd had blocked their path, and all of them immediately turned to look at Xia Xuan, hoping that he would give them an idea.

    Sensing the gazes of the disciples, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but be taken aback. The disciples were treating Xia Xuan as their leader, and the current Xia Xuan was already a model in their hearts. This was a good start, a good start for Xia Xuan to manage the Stellar Martial Gate.

    "Follow me." A sincere smile hung on Xia Xuan''s face, and he slowly walked towards the crowd of people. Since he was now the leader in the disciples'' hearts, then Xia Xuan would naturally leave a more tyrannical image in the disciples'' hearts.

    Everyone was shocked when they saw Xia Xuan walk away, but because they were afraid of his strength, they all consciously stepped aside, forming a path that was a few metres long that no one dared to stop him.

    Seeing that, the disciples immediately followed Xia Xuan. Under Xia Xuan''s lead, everyone walked in broad daylight, and one could clearly see everyone''s faces break out in cold sweat, as well as the voices of Saliva s.

    This was an honor, and in the past, Stellar Martial Gate had never had such treatment. Today''s matter would definitely be engraved in the hearts of every disciple, and there would also be that Teenage who brought them this honor.

    A group of people followed Xia Xuan back to the Martial City. In the first few days after their return, many forces came to pay a visit, but those powers normally wouldn''t take the initiative to visit them. However, after experiencing the ancient ruins, these powers all wanted to have a good relationship with the Stellar Martial Gate.

    All of the Sect Leader s that came to visit were treated with respect by Xia Xuan. Perhaps, in the near future, Xia Xuan would need their help, it was still necessary to build a good relationship with them.

    At the gates of Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Xuan sent off the last person who came to visit with a smile on his face. When he turned around and walked back into the sect, his face was filled with exhaustion.

    When he was in The Divine Realm, even though there were hundreds of thousands of Ares-class s, he had never personally managed them and everything was managed by his friends. Now, Xia Xuan merely said that he had to receive the visiting Guest because he felt how tired his comrades must have been in his previous life.

    On the way back to the sect, Xia Xuan was dispirited and listless the entire way, but this didn''t affect people''s impression of him.

    Although they only brought disciples of Mystical King level and above with them when they went to the Ancient Era''s Remnants this time, Xia Xuan''s deeds were already spread far and wide in the sect and almost every disciple knew of Xia Xuan''s heroic deeds.

    Occasionally, when a few female disciples passed by, they would respectfully bow and pay their respects before drifting over with all sorts of bewitching glances.

    With regards to these female disciples, Xia Xuan only smiled slightly, and didn''t pay any more attention to them, as he walked straight back to his own residence. He hadn''t slept for a few days, and right now, he was so perverted that he wanted to lie down on his bed and sleep soundly.

    "Big brother, something happened." Just as Xia Xuan was walking back, Yan Shuang hurried over, his face filled with anxiety.

    "If anything happens, don''t disturb me. I want to sleep." Xia Xuan waved his hands and did not plan to bother with Yan Shuang.

    "Something happened to Little Zheng." Just as Xia Xuan was about to continue walking, Yan Shuang''s words were like a bucket of cold water hitting his head. Immediately, all the sleepiness disappeared, and both of his hands grabbed onto Yan Shuang''s shoulders, speaking with a trembling voice due to excitement: "What''s wrong little Zheng, don''t scare me like this."

    "You''d better come with me to take a look." Just as Yan Shuang wanted to answer Xia Xuan, she found that she did not know how to reply. In the end, she could only reply and then, her figure flashed as she disappeared.

    Seeing that, the silver snake moved across her face as if it was waiting for something. When a disciple came over to greet him, he realized that it was only an afterimage of Xia Xuan.

    In front of them was a ball of light the size of a person''s head. The ball of light was beating like a heart, giving off a blinding light, and within the ball of light, the figures of small beasts could be seen.

    "When I woke up this morning and found out that the little Zheng had turned into this, nothing bad would have happened, right?" As Flaming Shuang looked at the ball of light, her eyes were filled with anxiety. Even with her God of Time''s knowledge, she was unable to recognize what was going on with Little Zheng.

    Xia Xuan''s face was also gloomy, after looking around the ball of light for a long time, the brow could not help but contract, and said: "The Little Zheng is levelling up."

    Hearing that, the worry on Yan Shuang''s face immediately disappeared. It was very common for spirit beast to advance, spirit beast s were much more difficult to cultivate, but spirit beast of the same level were much more difficult to cultivate than Homo sapiens.

    Some spirit beast that could avoid the birth of the spirits of heaven and earth could have an earth-shattering evolution process, but no one could match them in terms of strength after they broke through, which was a good thing for spirit beast.

    Just as Yan Shuang wanted to say something, she discovered that Xia Xuan''s expression did not change at all because the Little Zheng was about to evolve. Instead, it became heavier.

    "The Zheng had no choice but to advance to the next stage, it has not gathered enough strength yet, it may fail to advance to the next stage." This was the first time that the little Zheng had levelled up. Even if it was the first time for the The Divine Realm''s divine beast to advance to become a Mystical King''s first beast, it would still be more than enough. Just what kind of monster was this little Zheng?

    "It''s all my fault. I should have discovered it earlier." Little Zheng had actually wanted to advance a long time ago, but the endosperm that he had given Little Zheng had always been unable to satisfy him. After dragging things out for a while, the little Zheng was finally forced to advance.

    "You go out first, I have a plan." Xia Xuan said, his voice was solemn like the voice of a Deicide.

    When Yan Shuang heard Xia Xuan''s words, her face showed some worry, but in the end, she still walked out of the room. When she was at the door, she looked at Xia Xuan''s serious face and felt some worry in her heart.

    "Swish" After Yan Shuang left, Xia Xuan waved his hand, and countless streams of light shot out from his storage ring. Every single stream of light was a spirit beast, and every single one of them were at least Mystical King Level.

    The endosperm that filled the sky floated like a star, looking extremely shocking.

 C163

    Chapter 163 - Madness

    Looking at the innumerable endosperm that filled the sky like stars, there was not a single trace of reluctance in Xia Xuan''s eyes, as determination and worry emerged within the depths of his eyes.

    With a wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, countless of Mystical King s floated onto the ball of light. Under the influence of the spiritual energy, the endosperm slowly turned into liquid and droplets landed on the ball of light, and in the end, all of them merged into the ball of light.

    Seeing the balls of light that had absorbed a few endosperm, Xia Xuan''s eyebrows creased even more tightly, because not only did the balls of light that had absorbed the endosperm not improve at all, it had actually become even dimmer. It was obvious that the few Mystical King level endosperm were useless against the little Zheng.

    "Not enough." muttered, then determination surged out of his eyes. spiritual energy gushed out of his body like a flood, and under the influence of the spiritual energy, all of them floated onto the ball of light.

    Just by being able to maintain the spiritual energy from going berserk was already enough for Xia Xuan to use his full strength.

    "Kid, can you hold on?" Just at this moment, Deicide''s voice sounded, his voice was actually filled with worry.

    "Even if you can''t, you still have to." Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, and spiritual energy began to surge out from his body. He maintained the endosperm Creek with great difficulty, preventing it from going berserk.

    Drops of water constantly dripped onto the light sphere and then merged into the light sphere, using the droplet to maintain the light sphere''s radiance. If the light sphere''s radiance was completely extinguished, the little Zheng would fail its advancement, and the little Zheng would die.

    Xia Xuan did not let the light sphere soak in the stream, because the little Zheng was currently in a slumbering state and completely relied on its instincts to absorb the spiritual energy s from the outside world. If it were to soak in the creek, the little Zheng would be unable to endure the huge spiritual energy s from the stream and would be choked to death.

    "Little Zheng, don''t let anything happen to him." Xia Xuan forced out the spiritual energy as he prayed for the little Zheng in his heart.

    ''s strength was only at Profound King of the Fifth Rank after all. Even though his control over the spiritual energy s was top-notch, after all the spiritual energy s were limited, and to control the brook that was formed from so many powerful endosperm s was still too much of a struggle.

    Behind Xia Xuan, a figure appeared. That figure was dressed in a blood-colored robe, with a handsome face that looked exactly like Xia Xuan''s. Just by standing there, the Qi on that figure seemed to soar to the heavens, the soul of the Deicide.

    Deicide''s Soul looked at Xia Xuan''s pale face and could not help but sigh, saying: "You''ve already tried your best, let me do it."

    "No need, I cannot rely on the power of my previous life." Xia Xuan squeezed out a few words between his teeth, the determination in his eyes reaching its peak.

    Just as Deicide''s Soul was about to speak, Xia Xuan suddenly folded his legs, and threw out a spiritual energy with one hand while another hand held a pill.

    "Damned Broken Pellet, you''re crazy!" Deicide was shocked when he saw the Pills in Xia Xuan''s hands.

    This kind of Pills was called ''Death Breaking Pill'' because there were huge spiritual energy inside, and some enemies would usually eat a ''Death Breaking Pill'' if they wanted to kill the enemy. But because the spiritual energy in the Pills was too huge, normal people would explode and die if they ate them, because the Pills was used to fight the enemy to the death. This was also why the Pills was called ''Death Breaking Pill''.

    "I have made up my mind." After saying that, Xia Xuan threw the Pills into his mouth, and then formed a hand seal with one hand.

    Now that he had reached the peak of the Profound King of the Fifth Rank, if he was able to break through the Sixth grade Profound King and also obtain the Death Breaking Pill to provide him with the spiritual energy, he wouldn''t need the Deicide''s Soul to help him.

    Just as Xia Xuan finished his cultivation posture, a terrifying spiritual energy suddenly surged out of his body, and instantly turned Xia Xuan into a big fatty. His entire person was like a balloon, and could explode at any time.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan''s heart was filled with shock, although he knew that the Death Breaking Pill had a huge storage of spiritual energy, but he never expected it to have such a large storage. If not for his extremely strong physical body, the Death Breaking Pill would probably have smashed him in an instant.

    At this time, Xia Xuan really wanted to cry but had no tears. Although the Death Breaking Pill had not caused him to explode, its effects had not been completely released, and a portion of the accumulated effects of the spiritual energy in his body had already solidified. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make the spiritual energy circulate within the meridian. If he dragged on like this, once the effects of the pill completely took effect, even his strong physical body would explode.

    "Activate!!!" Xia Xuan roared furiously in his heart. Sweat was already flowing out of his forehead, but he did not see any signs of the spiritual energy moving at all. Instead, it was as if something in his body was about to explode.

    Xia Xuan slowly closed his eyes. At this time, even the soul of the Deicide was useless against him. This kind of spiritual energy that was solidified into a solid object was not something that a weak soul of the Deicide could deal with.

    Xia Xuan could clearly feel a wave of spiritual energy s exploding within his body.

    Just as Xia Xuan was in despair, a ray of light shone out from within his body. Under the shine of the light, the meridian in Xia Xuan''s body could be clearly seen, the light seemed to have a temperature, and under the shine, the frozen spiritual energy actually started to circulate.

    Xia Xuan was shocked as the soul sunk its head into her mind. Only then did he realise that the light was actually emitted by the orb of primal chaos that had been lingering in his body the entire time.

    When the spiritual energy began to circulate, Xia Xuan''s aura also advanced by leaps and bounds. Because the spiritual energy was truly too huge, the sound of glass shattering quickly rang out. After that, Xia Xuan''s aura underwent a qualitative change, and actually reached the level of the Sixth grade Profound King.

    With the increase in his strength, Xia Xuan instantly felt his entire body brimming with energy. Without hesitation, the spiritual energy gushed out from its two feet and completely stabilized the endosperm Creek.

    Time flew by quickly. A day had passed in the blink of an eye, the endosperm Creek had been completely used up. The light that had absorbed the entire endosperm Creek was extremely dazzling, it was as if there was something beating crazily like a heart, as though something was about to break out from the ball of light.

    "It should be fine by now." Xia Xuan clapped his hands and took a deep breath. With this many endosperm, it should be enough for him to level up.

    "Something''s not right, boy be careful." Just as Xia Xuan was about to stretch his body, the voice of the Deicide Soul sounded, scaring Xia Xuan to the point that he hurriedly turned to look at the ball of light.

    The ball of light violently wiggled for a moment, and then the light gradually dimmed. The little Zheng was actually unable to break through the ball of light.

    "How could this be?" Seeing the little Zheng''s situation, Xia Xuan was shocked, could it be that even that many endosperm were not enough?

    "Kid, I''m afraid you can only do so." Deicide''s voice once again rang out, shocking Xia Xuan senseless for a moment.

 C164

    Chapter 164 - Contracting Parties

    After making a contract with the spirit beast, the master and the life of the spirit beast would be intertwined. If either party dies, the other party will also die, and even if the person who sees the spirit beast as a brother, the master will not make a contract with the spirit beast.

    "Hesitation?" This was the time to witness the Little Zheng''s position in Xia Xuan''s heart. If he made a contract, Little Zheng might be able to survive, but in the future, Xia Xuan would have an additional weakness, and this would not be good for Xia Xuan''s plans for revenge in the future.

    "Humph!" "What''s there to hesitate about?" Xia Xuan sneered, and then bit his own finger. Without any hesitation, Xia Xuan pressed his finger on the ball of light, and fresh blood crazily flowed out from Xia Xuan''s finger, and after a while the ball of light was dyed red.

    Although it was just a little bit of blood, Xia Xuan''s lips were already pale. What was flowing was not some ordinary blood, but blood essence.

    After absorbing the blood essence, the ball of light once again became extremely dazzling. One could vaguely see the small beasts within the ball of light jump up happily, and a sharp horn emerged from the ball of light. It was the small Zheng''s beast horn.

    The beast horn had just pierced through the light cluster when numerous cracks spread like a spider web. A moment later, they had spread over the entire light cluster.

    "Bang!" A shattering sound rang out and the entire ball of light suddenly shattered. A small beast jumped out of the ball of light. It had a pair of wings on its back and had a body like a leopard.

    The Zheng''s appearance did not change greatly, it was just that his body shape was several times larger than before. Standing in front of Xia Xuan, he was already as tall as Xia Xuan''s navel.

    The moment the little Zheng jumped out from the ball of light, it threw Xia Xuan onto the ground, its big tongue continuously licking Xia Xuan, making him giggle non-stop.

    The conclusion of a contract would allow the spirit beast to feel a sense of intimacy towards its master. The spirit beast did not have much scheming, but when they see a person as their master, they would definitely be loyal and never betray them.

    "Creak!"

    Xia Xuan slowly opened the closed door to his room. fresh air was used for him, he took a deep breath, and his entire being felt much better.

    "Brother, how is it?" Seeing Xia Xuan opening the door, Yan Shuang hurriedly walked over. From her face, one could see an anxious and haggard expression.

    Xia Xuan looked at Yan Shuang''s haggard face and couldn''t help but feel his heart ache. One of his hands touched Yan Shuang''s face, his eyes were filled with affection and love, the benevolent voice said: "Of course I succeeded, come and look at the Little Zheng."

    With that, Xia Xuan turned and revealed the little Zheng behind him. He sat on the ground and looked at Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, his big eyes blinking.

    "This is Little Zheng?" When Yan Shuang saw the little Zheng, she was stunned. Although the little Zheng''s appearance did not change much compared to before the advancement, its body size was still several times larger. Although the body of a spirit beast would grow along with it, it was still the first time that Yan Shuang had seen it when it grew many times.

    "You''ve made a contract with Little Zheng?" When she thought about it carefully, she knew that something was wrong. She turned her head to look at Xia Xuan and her voice was filled with astonishment.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan nodded slightly, and a slight smile hung on his face.

    "Are you crazy?" Right now, Little Zheng was just a weak little beast who had made a contract with such a spirit beast. If something were to happen to the little Zheng, Xia Xuan would also die, and this way, how would Xia Xuan''s revenge plan be completed.

    "Don''t worry, will your brother be that reckless?" Xia Xuan smiled, rubbed the head and comforted his.

    "If you weren''t reckless, how would you have fallen?" After saying that, she turned around and ran off into the distance.

    Xia Xuan was stunned, he could clearly see that the corners of Yan Shuang''s eyes had turned red, he was angry at him. Furthermore, the words that Yan Shuang had said before had stung Xia Xuan''s heart. If he was not reckless, how would he have died? He definitely didn''t have the qualifications to say such a guarantee.

    "Ai!" Xia Xuan turned his head to look at the little Zheng who sat in a daze and could not help but let out a light sigh, before walking out of the room.

    It was night, and on the rooftop, a graceful and beautiful figure was sitting and staring at the many stars in the sky. The image of her free and easy life with her comrades in The Divine Realm appeared in front of her, and a smile quietly hung on her beautiful face.

    "Wu!" A cold wind blew and made her shrink back. Her consciousness also returned from those beautiful memories. Thinking about how her companions were all gone and her brother had made a contract with Little Zheng today, she couldn''t help but feel sad.

    Just at that moment, a cloak was suddenly draped over Yan Shuang''s body. A thin man sat next to Yan Shuang. As the man looked at Yan Shuang''s sad face, a gentle expression couldn''t help but appear on his face.

    "Why are you here alone? Be careful of catching a cold." Xia Xuan was still staring at Yan Shuang, his voice clearly showing his concern.

    "You don''t need to worry about that. If you have the time, why don''t you go cultivate and increase your strength. Otherwise, you won''t be able to protect little Zheng and you won''t lose your life." Yan Shuang turned her head to the side, not looking at Xia Xuan, her voice clearly carrying a hint of anger.

    Xia Xuan knew that Yan Shuang was still angry at him, he had to think of a way to calm her down.

    "Do you know anything about the Hundred Wonders?" Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the sky. Among the stars in the sky, there was a star that was especially dazzling, attracting Xia Xuan''s gaze.

    "What does it have to do with me?" Yan Shuang was still angry, she did not have any intention of forgiving Xia Xuan.

    There is an egg at the bottom of the spring, and it hatches out an object. It is called a dragon, it is called a phoenix, it was born with a horn on its head, it had wings on its back, it looked like a leopard, it roared like a dragon, and its four claws were like a phoenix. Xia Xuan slowly said.

    In her previous life, she had heard that Xia Xuan wanted a Zheng as his pet, but she was unable to find him after searching through the Mainland. After that, she had given up on searching for him, and upon hearing the Zheng Zheng''s name, she thought that Xia Xuan had named him Zheng because he wanted to have a Zheng as his pet.

    "If you want revenge, the Zheng''s power is indispensable." As Xia Xuan said this, his gaze once again turned towards Yan Shuang, only to find that she was looking at him with a face of shock.

    Looking at the astonished Yan Shuang, Xia Xuan smiled. He then took Yan Shuang into his embrace and said, "I will definitely bring you all back to the The Divine Realm. The Celestial King will pay the price for his actions."

 C165

    Chapter 165 - Taotie Feast

    The next day, at the entrance of the Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Xuan and many other higher ups of the Stellar Martial Gate were gathered, and in front of them was Suo Balang. Today, Suo Balang was going back to the Cold City.

    Miao Linger pulled Suo Balang, her face filled with reluctance.

    After Suo Balang said something to Miao Linger, he turned to Xia Xuan and said: "Brat, I still have to say, protect Ling''er well. If anything happens to her, I''ll ask for you."

    "Eighth father, I''m still a third-grade Xuanzun after all. I still have the ability to protect myself, right?" Miao Linger heard Suo Balang and immediately said, his voice tinged with a little bitterness.

    "Senior, don''t worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will not let Miss Ling''er suffer even the slightest bit of injury." Xia Xuan looked at Suo Balang and Suo Balang, and could not help but laugh.

    "I can barely imagine your Deicide doing it once." After saying his goodbyes to the others, Suo Balang started to think about walking off into the distance. The blade-wielding back looked a little old in the wind, but at the same time, it gave people a feeling of unparalleled heroism.

    Watching Suo Balang leave, Xia Xuan could not help but sigh deeply in his heart. A single Suo Balang was already this powerful, who knew what the seven from Suo Jia were like.

    "Disperse." Suo Balang finally disappeared from their field of vision and let them scatter.

    "Yes." The various upper echelons acknowledged this and dispersed.

    After a while, only Xia Xuan, Xia Muning, Yan Shuang and Miao Linger remained.

    "This was delivered by the North Emperor''s Gate not too long ago." Xia Muning passed a letter to Xia Xuan, and one could see a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

    When Xia Xuan received the letter, the brow could not help but frown. The Northern Emperor Sect was a first-rate sect, and its sect''s strength was even above the Hundred Beasts Sect.

    Opening the envelope, he saw a white piece of paper with the words:

    My esteemed Sect Leader, my Northern Emperor Sect will be hosting a feast of Taotie in seven days. I hope little friend will give the Northern Emperor Hall some face and come gather at this feast of Taotie.

    Seeing the vigorous and powerful words on the letter, Xia Xuan''s brow immediately relaxed, and replacing it was a smile.

    The feast of Taotie was a special gathering that was initiated by a strong sect. The more sects that participated, the stronger their sect became.

    During the feast, people would have a Taotie feast, but what they ate was not food, but something that everyone wanted. At the same time, during the feast, the various sects could communicate with each other, and by doing so, deepen the relationship between the sects, it could be said to be an opportunity to form alliances.

    "Interesting." Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, and the corner of his mouth raised up. He had just taken over the Stellar Martial Gate, the feast of the Taotie was a very good opportunity for him.

    "Prepare yourself. In seven days, we''ll go to the Northern Imperial Clan." Xia Xuan said to Yan Shuang and Miao Linger.

    "Why are we going there?" Miao Linger did not see what was written on the letter, and immediately asked.

    "Participate in Taotie Feast." Xia Xuan smiled, his gaze looking towards the distant north, a hint of ambition in his eyes. This Taotie feast would be his first step in developing his Stellar Martial Gate.

    Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Xuan, Yan Shuang and Miao Linger woke up early.

    "Let''s go." Xia Xuan slightly smiled, then activated his spiritual energy and flew towards the north.

    In a room in Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Muning stood by the window and watched Xia Xuan leave. She could not help but say in a pleased tone, "You''ve really grown up."

    There was a city in the Northern Wasteland called the Northern Imperial City. This city didn''t have any random sects. The entire city was under the control of the Northern Imperial Clan.

    Today, the Northern Imperial City''s city gates would be guarded by anyone tomorrow. A red carpet extended from the city gates all the way to the main hall within the city. There were many welcoming parties at the city gate.

    The sun had just risen from the horizon and a figure had already appeared at the edge of the horizon. Even though those people were still extremely far away from the Northern Imperial City, a powerful aura and pressure had already arrived.

    Very quickly, a scene of prosperity appeared in the Northern Imperial City. People gradually arrived and warmly welcomed these people, especially the Sect Leader s of some large sects. They were personally welcomed by the upper echelons of the Northern Imperial Clan.

    "Hundred Beasts Sect and Sect Leader have arrived." A shout came out, then a powerful Qi appeared, three figures slowly appeared in the horizon, these three people were familiar faces, it was Wei Lingyun, Dong Jian and Yan San.

    "The presence of the Sect Leader brings light to our humble dwelling." Just as Wei Lingyun landed, a white-haired Old Man hurriedly welcomed them and smiled at the three of them.

    "How have you been, Elder Liu?" Wei Lingyun had a smile on his face, facing Old Man, Wei Lingyun did not dare to disrespect him, because the Northern Emperor Sect was a true first-rate sect, while the Hundred Beasts Sect was only barely a first-rate sect.

    The Sect Leader of the Northern Emperor''s Gate was named Han Shuanglong and was the owner of the first chair. This Old Man was the owner of the second chair, the Great Elder of the Northern Emperor''s Gate, Liu Ying.

    "It''s pretty lively here." Wei Lingyun and Liu Ying wanted to chat happily, but when they heard the laughter, countless of gazes turned towards the sky.

    Three figures slowly flew over. The leader was a black-haired man. The man was slightly thin, but he had a heroic air around him. Beside the man were two women. Their appearances attracted the majority of the gazes, especially the golden-haired Flaming Frost, which made countless people dumbfounded.

    When he saw Xia Xuan and the other two, Wei Lingyun couldn''t help but lower his head. Back when Xia Xuan was facing Wu Chang alone in dried bone forest and he didn''t even try to help, he inevitably felt a little ashamed to see Xia Xuan again today.

    "I assume this is the Stellar Martial Gate''s little brother, Xia Xuan." Liu Ying and Xia Xuan did not know each other, but Xia Xuan''s deeds in the dried bone forest were like thunder to their ears.

    "I am indeed. Senior should be Senior Liu Ying, right?" Xia Xuan had heard of Liu Ying''s name before. It was said that Liu Ying had once fought against five first stage Xuanzun alone and did not lose, and that battle became the name of the Bone Withering Hand. Furthermore, that was several years ago, so no one knew how strong Liu Ying was now.

    "I am truly honored to be acknowledged by you, my young friend." Liu Ying''s aged binocular smiled until it was like two slits, and made a path to the side, saying, "Little friend, why not go in and have a chat with Sect Leader, Sect Leader has been waiting inside the sect for a long time."

    Without putting on an act, Xia Xuan walked towards the city with big strides. When he arrived in front of Wei Lingyun, he saw Wei Lingyun with his head lowered.

    "How''s Sect Leader Wei?" Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Xia Xuan and said, the smile on his face was actually a little strange.

    "How have you been?" Wei Lingyun forced out a smile and said.

    Xia Xuan nodded and headed directly into the city.

    Everyone around him looked at Wei Lingyun and felt that it was unbelievable. All of their gazes were filled with surprise when looking at Xia Xuan, just who was this Xia Xuan, to actually make him reveal such an expression.

 C166

    Chapter 166 - Prestige

    It had to be said that a first-rate sect was indeed powerful. This Northern Imperial City was much bigger than any other empire. Walking in it, one could only see the bustling crowds and densely packed buildings. If he did not control the spiritual energy to fly, he would not be able to reach the banquet location even if he walked for a day.

    To be able to take such a huge city as his own territory, it was sufficient to prove the strength of the Northern Imperial Clan.

    Circulating the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan and the other two arrived at the center of the city very quickly. What appeared in front of them was a northern imperial gate surrounded by a wall, the size of the northern imperial gate was so large that it was practically incomparable to a few imperial cities.

    "Sect Leader Xia, please come in." One of the servants ran over to Xia Xuan and respectfully said to him.

    Xia Xuan nodded and headed straight into the sect.

    After walking for around half an hour within the sect, Xia Xuan and the other two arrived at the front of a large hall. The door to the large hall was opened wide, and many people could be seen within the hall.

    Walking into the hall, countless of gazes turned to look at Xia Xuan and the other two, and when they sensed the strength of Xia Xuan''s Sixth grade Profound King, they all frowned, how could such a person be invited.

    Although on the surface, Xia Xuan''s strength was only that of the Sixth grade Profound King and no one could see Yan Shuang''s cultivation, Miao Linger''s aura had actually reached the realm of Fourth rank Xuan Lord. However, these three people were led by Xia Xuan, which confused everyone the most.

    "Guanzhu Jiu, on the River Continent. A beautiful lady is someone that a noble should be able to get his hands on. " A clear voice rang out, and a white-robed man walked over from the crowd. The man held a folding fan, looking very elegant and graceful, with an extremely gentle voice, "I wonder if young lady would like to share a cup with me?"

    The man held two glasses of wine that looked like snow. The cup was made from extremely cold jade and the wine was the famous Pearl of God. Being able to drink this wine meant that the man was definitely not weak.

    "Isn''t that the Evil Wind Hand Bin Peng from the Evil Wind Sect?" Someone within the group of people recognized white-robed man and immediately whispered to the people beside him.

    "Bin Peng..." When Xia Xuan looked at Bin Peng, the brow couldn''t help but frown.

    "Not interested." Yan Shuang said coldly, her head turned to the side and not looking at Bin Peng.

    The surrounding people were immediately shocked when they heard what Yan Shuang said. The Yin Wind Sect was about to enter the ranks of the first grade sects, and the Yin Wind Sect relied on Bin Peng. The current Bin Peng was a powerhouse at the peak of the Fourth rank Xuan Lord, there were no more than ten people present who dared to reject him.

    Although he could not see how strong Yan Shuang was, he did not think that she had surpassed him in terms of strength. After all, Yan Shuang looked to be even younger than Xia Xuan, and he believed that Yan Shuang was just an ordinary person without any Qi training.

    Even an ordinary person dared to reject him, this made Bin Peng''s heart burn with fury.

    Bin Peng''s gaze turned towards Xia Xuan. An ordinary person dared to reject his, so the person who gave her courage could be said to be their leader. It was obvious that Xia Xuan was the leader of the trio.

    The spiritual energy in Bin Peng''s hands surged, and the cup instantly turned into dust, and even the red wine was evaporated.

    With a free hand, he extended it towards Xia Xuan. Bin Peng said: "I am Bin Peng, I wonder what your name is?"

    Xia Xuan looked at Bin Peng''s palm that was reaching towards him. Other people might not know about it, but he could see that there was a hidden force in Bin Peng''s palm.

    There was no lack of experts present, and when they felt the hidden strength in Bin Peng''s palm, their faces revealed a playful smile, with''s strength, he should have instantly shattered the bones in his hands.

    Xia Xuan reached out his hand and grabbed Bin Peng, at the same time, a wave of hidden force surged out, coincidentally clashing with Bin Peng''s hidden force.

    What shocked Bin Peng the most was that he did not have the upper hand after his hidden strength clashed with Xia Xuan''s hidden strength. Instead, when his hidden strength clashed with Xia Xuan''s hidden strength, it caused his palm to hurt.

    His hand was in pain, Bin Peng could not help but clench his teeth, but due to face, he did not make a sound.

    Just then, Wei Lingyun and the other two slowly walked into the hall. After seeing Wei Lingyun, many people surrounded them, and congratulatory words sounded out.

    Everyone''s attention was attracted to Wei Lingyun, so Bin Peng quickly broke free from Xia Xuan''s grasp, covering his aching hand with his hands as tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

    Wei Lingyun completely ignored the people who came to greet him, and directly went to stand in front of Xia Xuan, and apologetically said: "Little friend Xia Xuan, that day in dried bone forest, I did not intend to not help."

    When the surrounding people heard Xia Xuan''s words, shock immediately surged onto their faces. Everyone looked at Xia Xuan and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

    It was difficult for a fifth stage Xuanzun expert to defeat a fourth stage pinnacle Wu Chang, yet, Xia Xuan had beheaded him in a few rounds. This kind of strength, should not even be comparable to the first stage sect''s Sect Leader s.

    He felt that his strength was still far off from Wu Chang''s. If Xia Xuan could kill Wu Chang, then killing him would be as easy as flipping his palm.

    Xia Xuan did not look at Bin Peng, but smiled, and said to Wei Lingyun: "What are you saying, Sect Leader Wei, when I was in dried bone forest, able to trust you, I am already deeply grateful, why would I complain about you, Sect Leader Wei?"

    Back then, when Wei Lingyun chose to believe in Xia Xuan and left the center zone, it was already a favor for him. In that case, there were a few people who would be willing to believe that kind of nonsense and leave their positions which they had gotten with great difficulty.

    Hearing the sincerity in Xia Xuan''s words, Wei Lingyun heaved a sigh of relief. It was not a good thing to offend an expert like Xia Xuan in this Hundred Desolate Lands.

    "Sect Leader Han is here." Suddenly, someone from the crowd shouted and the entire hall erupted with noise. Everyone looked towards the innermost part of the hall.

    In the innermost corner of the great hall, there was a chair, around which there was no one else, because everyone knew that this chair had its master. It was the main character of this banquet, the Northern Imperial Palace''s Sect Leader, Han Shuanglong.

    Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a figure slowly appeared. The figure was dressed in a black cloak and wore a dragon pattern black robe, and its tall and straight hair seemed to be filled with energy, making it impossible to sense any of the spiritual energy''s fluctuations among 90% of the people present. However, this did not mean that he was an ordinary person, because everyone knew that this man who looked to be a little over 40 years old was actually a expert at the peak of the fifth stage of Xuanzun.

    Just when everyone''s eyes were focused on Han Shuanglong, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the few empty seats in the hall that were near to Han Shuanglong. None of those empty seats dared to sit, because those seats were reserved for people of the same level as Han Shuanglong.

    Just as Xia Xuan was watching those empty seats, a figure appeared in each of the seats. Those figures came silently, and even though they were all not far from Han Shuanglong, not many people in the arena noticed them, and even if they did, no one dared to make a sound.

    Chapter 167 - A feast of wolves

    Suddenly, one of the younger men among the group noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze and turned to look at Xia Xuan. When he saw that Xia Xuan, who was only at Sixth grade Profound King, had noticed her presence, he smiled.

    The man nodded towards Xia Xuan, his lips moved, as though he had said something.

    Seeing the man''s lips move, Xia Xuan''s lips move as well, as if responding to his words.

    Receiving Xia Xuan''s reply, the man could not help but smile, and the way he looked at Xia Xuan became interested.

    "Xiao Yu, what''s wrong?" A girl around the same age as the man asked curiously after noticing his gaze.

    The woman instantly saw Xia Xuan, but when she sensed his strength, the brow couldn''t help but freeze. How could a Sixth grade Profound King attract his attention?

    "Sis, this person is very interesting." The man gave her a look and said mysteriously.

    "What can a Sixth grade Profound King do?" The woman disapproved, and her voice was filled with disdain.

    "What''s wrong with Sixth grade Profound King? I heard that not long ago, a Mystical King also defeated Wu Chang at dried bone forest. The man retorted.

    The woman did not speak anymore, and with her Mystical King''s strength, she appeared at the Taotie feast. Furthermore, a Mystical King that Wu Chang defeated recently appeared, so the man in front of her might be Xia Xuan.

    "Everyone, thank you for coming. All sorts of experts have gathered today. Our Northern Imperial Clan truly brings light to our humble dwelling!" Han Shuanglong cupped his hands towards everyone and said with a smile on his face.

    The more people came to attend the banquet, the more they said that their Northern Imperial Clan received more respect. The densely packed heads in the hall already proved everything.

    "Sect Leader Han, there''s no need to speak any unnecessary words. Let''s begin the grand feast." Everyone''s gaze turned towards a chair not far from Han Shuanglong. Seated on that chair was a white-haired Old Man.

    Normally, if he were to disturb his master at a time like this, Han Shuanglong would be extremely angry, and the person who disturbed him would be reprimanded. However, when they saw Old Man, not only did they not take joy in his misfortune, they were even surprised.

    "Snake Staff Old Man!" A person in the crowd who had not yet recovered his strength shouted. There were only a few supreme sects in the Wasteland. The Sect Leader s of these sects were all figures that could not be seen even if a dragon appeared before their eyes. Thus, the elders of these sects became the representatives of this sect.

    The old man was from a super sect called the Xingyun Sect. Currently, the old man was a sixth stage expert at the peak of Xuanzun, how could a mere one stage sect compare to him? It could be said that it was already giving enough face to the Northern Emperor''s Hall to have such an expert participate in the Taotie feast.

    "Senior snake staff is right, the feast of the Taotie will begin now." Han Shuanglong naturally did not dare to slight the old man with the snake staff.

    Just as Han Shuanglong finished speaking, a servant walked over with a plate in hand. The plate was covered with a red cloth, and something could be seen under the red cloth.

    The things under the red cloth were the food for this Taotie feast. It could be said that people came to the feast to deepen the relationship between the sects, and on the other hand, they came for the food.

    Under the gazes of everyone present, Han Shuanglong slowly removed the red cloth and revealed a purple gold bell in front of them. The bell released a special kind of fluctuation;

    As they looked at that bell, greed was revealed in their eyes. Perhaps the things stored in the bell were not much to the Northern Imperial Clan, but to a single person, they were incomparably precious.

    "Please take your seats." Han Shuanglong did not pick up the purple gold bell immediately, but said to the people who were lusting over the Saliva.

    There were many seats in the hall, and practically everyone who was invited would have their own seats. Xia Xuan quickly found his own seat and sat in his own seat without saying a word.

    Seeing that everyone was sitting upright, Han Shuanglong finally turned his gaze towards the purple gold bell. He saw the thud of the purple gold bell as it rang out with a light shake.

    As the voice was emitted, a dense wave that was visible to the naked eye was emitted from the bell.

    This was the food of this Taotie feast ˇŞ Life. Using some special method, one could extract the life force of a person, but the person whose life was being proposed would also die. Extracting life was something that could not be exposed, and if one wanted to accumulate enough food for the Taotie feast, it was unknown how many evil things the North Emperor''s Gate had done behind the scenes.

    Of course, Xia Xuan would not refuse to absorb these living things just because they were dirty. In this place called Hundred Desolations, kindness would only be mocked and trampled upon by others.

    Xia Xuan activated his meridian, and the life force that filled the entire palace immediately surged towards Xia Xuan, but the life force was clearly faster than the others.

    No matter if it was absorbing spiritual energy or absorbing life, their speed would depend on the number of meridian opening up one''s body. And the opening up of meridian relied on a person''s cultivation technique, Xia Xuan''s cultivation technique was Primal Chaos.

    The cultivation techniques were divided into two ranks, the God Realm and the Human Realm. Each of them were of a low, medium and high rank, and even the super sects only had mid-grade Mortal Realm cultivation techniques. This cultivation technique could only open up to a hundred and fifty meridian, and the speed at which the spiritual energy was absorbed could only be considered average.

    The reason why Xia Xuan had initially said that the Primal Chaos was powerful was because after he had successfully cultivated, the Primal Chaos had helped him to open up to five hundred meridian. One must know that the more meridian he opened, the harder it was to open.

    Xia Xuan, who had cleared five hundred meridian, was truly like a Taotie fierce beast in this place, as an unending stream of life rushed towards him, causing some people in the great hall to be unable to absorb life.

    There were already people in the arena who were unable to absorb their life force as Xia Xuan''s life force was too strong. Helplessly, Han Shuanglong could only ring the bell, and then, an endless stream of life force flooded the entire hall.

    "Sis, I already said that this person isn''t simple, right?" Previously, the man who was opposite of Xia Xuan had been staring at Xia Xuan, he did not care about these lives, if he really wanted to increase his life span, just one word from him, the sect would naturally give him a large amount of life.

    "Try your best to befriend this person. You must not offend him." The lady at the side also stared at Xia Xuan closely. Naturally, she could tell that Xia Xuan had as many as five hundred meridian, which meant that Xia Xuan cultivated a divine rank cultivation technique, so it was impossible for him to rely on chance to obtain it. She thought that there was a very powerful person standing behind Xia Xuan, and that person could be ˇŞ God!

    Chapter 168 - Sensei

    Everyone present gritted their teeth as Xia Xuan''s actions made it impossible for them to absorb any more lives. Although Han Shuanglong had already released more lives, with Xia Xuan''s crazy absorption of life force, they were able to absorb too many lives.

    In the hall, there was a giant life whirlpool that was extremely eye-catching. There were countless small whirlpools around the huge whirlpool, but compared to the huge whirlpool, they were not even worth mentioning.

    "Swish." Xia Xuan withdrew his aura as the binocular slowly opened its eyes. Endless life energy surged from its eyes and it held a green light sphere in its hands.

    There was a limit to the amount of life force a person could absorb in their body, and Xia Xuan was already unable to absorb it, but the excess life force was compressed by Xia Xuan into a green light sphere. Although he was unable to absorb it, that did not mean that others were unable to.

    In a flash, the light sphere was taken back into the storage ring. Xia Xuan raised his head and looked at the thin life inside the hall. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, not knowing what those who could not absorb life would be like.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan had restrained his aura, Han Shuanglong once again lightly rang the bell. What made Han Shuanglong embarrassed was that the bell had issued a jingling sound, but there was no sign of life coming out of it.

    At this time, there were already people out of their cultivation state, and their gazes turned to Xia Xuan. Their eyes were filled with unconcealable viciousness, there was simply no need to absorb such a thin life form, this Xia Xuan was simply too excessive.

    "Brat, aren''t you going a bit too far?" The first one to leave the cultivation state was a tall and sturdy man. He had a head full of fiery red hair and his entire body was emitting a terrifying heat that twisted the space.

    This tall and strong man was called Xue Yan, his control over fire could be considered top-notch in this Hundred Desolate Land, his cultivation was also high. In the Hundred Desolate Land, he was a vicious character, almost no one dared to offend him.

    It was unknown if it was because he had been controlling the flames for a long time, but Xue Yan''s temper was extremely explosive.

    "The feast of the Taotie is a competition for food. It is a competition for food." Xia Xuan spread out his hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

    "Humph!" I do not believe that you can hold so much food by yourself. I advise you to hand over all of your food, or else today, you will become the enemy of everyone present. " Although he knew that Xia Xuan''s strength was not weak, he did not believe that Xia Xuan would dare to go against so many people present by himself.

    "Nope." Xia Xuan laughed out loud and revealed a dangerous expression, while speaking as if he did not understand the meaning of Xue Yan''s words.

    "You ˇ­" Xue Yan was shocked by Xia Xuan''s words, and pointed at Xia Xuan, wanting to say something.

    When they saw Xia Xuan and Xue Yan, they looked at each other. Although they had been in a state of cultivation the entire time, they still knew what had happened in the outside world.

    Even though vitality was precious in the Hundred Desolations, it was not worth it to fight with an expert of Xia Xuan''s level for the sake of a little vitality. The reason why Xue Yan had challenged him was completely because Xue Yan could not bear to see him devouring his vitality.

    Xue Yan originally thought that other people would agree with him, but he had forgotten that there was a strong practitioner of Fourth rank Xuan Lord by Xia Xuan''s side, and the relationship between the Hundred Beasts Sect and Xia Xuan was not shallow either. Even though he, Xue Yan, was extremely strong, he was unable to make everyone attack Xia Xuan as an enemy.

    "All of you." Seeing the actions of the others, Xue Yan was immediately angered to the point that his face flushed red. He turned and glared at Xia Xuan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Don''t think that you can be arrogant just because you defeated Wu Chang. I, Xue Yan, will teach you a lesson today."

    At this time, Xue Yan felt like a mute eating his food, he had a bitter and unspeakable feeling, wouldn''t a dignified Sect Leader of the Evil Wind Sect lower his head to a junior, and with his violent temper, would rather fight a battle with Xia Xuan?

    Just as Xue Yan finished speaking, a fiery red spiritual energy surged out from his body. The spiritual energy was like a flame, burning the surrounding space and causing it to distort.

    Using his own fire control abilities, Xue Yan''s confidence was immediately boosted. Both of his legs fiercely stomped on the ground, and he transformed into a fiery red figure that charged straight towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan looked at the incoming Xue Yan, who was rushing towards him, without a single trace of panic on his face. Since Xue Yan was able to establish a gigantic Yin Wind Sect in the Hundred Desolate Land, it was naturally not by solely relying on his own strength. There was no lack of strong people in the Hundred Desolate Land, some old sects had deep roots, if he wanted to establish himself in the Hundred Desolate Land, it was important for him to have a sharp mind.

    As a Sect Leader of the Evil Wind Sect, Xue Yan was very self-aware. He knew that he was not Xia Xuan''s match, his only goal was to lose at Xia Xuan''s hands, and wouldn''t offend Xia Xuan too much, and would be able to avoid mockery as much as possible. Thus, although Xue Yan looked aggressive, he had only used sixty percent of his strength.

    With regards to Xue Yan, who had only used sixty percent of his strength, Xia Xuan remembered and disregarded him at the same time. Maybe Xue Yan was a little stupid for doing this, but such idiots would definitely be useful to Xia Xuan sometimes.

    The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth lifted slightly, and the flamethrower appeared in his hands once more. The spiritual energy condensed itself on top of the flamethrower, and without making any unnecessary movements, it directly smashed down with its spear, landing exactly on Xue Yan''s body.

    The others were all dumbstruck. They simply could not believe their own eyes. Xue Yan, who had been smashed into the ground by the flamethrower, left a deep imprint on the ground.

    One move, with just one move, Xia Xuan was able to beat Xue Yan to the ground. Was this really a power that a person''s Profound King of the Fourth Rank could possess?

    Most of the people present believed that Xia Xuan had defeated Xue Yan in one move, and this time, Xia Xuan''s reputation would spread throughout the entire Hundred Wastelands. There would probably not be more than ten people who could defeat the Fourth rank Xuan Lord in one move, and in the eyes of majority of people, Xia Xuan''s strength was even stronger than some first grade sect Sect Leader s.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the location where Xue Yan was previously at, where there were two more people walking together with Xue Yan. When the two saw Xia Xuan''s gaze turn over, they both sat on the ground in shock.

    "Take him away, I can let bygones be bygones." Xia Xuan''s cold voice rang out. Since the other party had already shown weakness, then Xia Xuan would no longer continue to chase after him.

    When the two of them heard what Xia Xuan said, they crawled and tumbled to Xue Yan''s side. When they held Xue Yan up, they stared straight at the flamethrower, afraid that Xia Xuan would suddenly be angry and use the flamethrower to attack them.

    "He is indeed powerful, but compared to him, this should be Brother Xia Xuan." Not long after the two of them helped Xue Yan away, laughter rang out, and the man who was looking at Xia Xuan in the eye clapped his hands and walked towards Xia Xuan.

    "This must be Brother Guo Yu, the younger Sect Leader of the Duo Cultivation. I have heard much about you." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards the man and said. This dual sect was one of the top three sects in Hundred Desolations, if they could get to know such a sect, it would be good for his Stellar Martial Gate.

    "I have also long heard of Brother Xia''s great name. Seeing you today is indeed extraordinary. I wonder if Brother Xia will be willing to compete with me tomorrow?" When Guo Yu said this, everyone was immediately stunned.

    The feast of Taotie mainly involved the various sects deepening their communication, and deepening communication had two ways, one was to communicate during the feast, which was the way most people did things, while some people liked to fight, and these people would spar with each other on the second day of the feast.

    Which meant that the Shuangyi disciples had to establish a friendly relationship with Xia Xuan.

 C169

    Chapter 169 - Fighting Guo Yu

    Everyone was shocked, if Guo Yu wanted to compete with Xia Xuan, it would mean that the Shuangyi Sect would want to become friends with Xia Xuan, then Xia Xuan would definitely not be someone to be trifled with in the future.

    "I couldn''t ask for more." The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly, when Guo Yu had just appeared, he had already secretly conversed with her, at that time, Guo Yu had already requested for a competition, and Xia Xuan had also agreed to it. Now that Guo Yu had requested for a competition in front of everyone, it was actually to express his intention to get to know Xia Xuan.

    Of course, the main reason why Guo Yu had publicly expressed his desire to get to know Xia Xuan was because Xia Xuan had five hundred meridian s. By now, the Shuangyi Sect had already determined that there was at least one god backing Xia Xuan.

    Almost everyone would chat with Xia Xuan after the banquet ended, and Wei Lingyun secretly rejoiced because he did not dare to offend Xia Xuan.

    It was night. The liveliness within the Northern Imperial Clan did not lessen. Originally, most people would choose to leave after the feast. However, after the feast, most people chose to stay in the Northern Imperial Clan for no other reason other than to witness the fight between Xia Xuan and the Dragon King tomorrow.

    One was the young Sect Leader of the Duo Cultivation, a peerless genius who had reached the peak of the Fourth rank Xuan Lord at the age of twenty. The other was a legendary figure who had recently appeared in the Hundred Desolations, and Xia Xuan, who possessed the strength of a Fourth rank Xuan Lord expert as his enemy.

    There was a tall building in the Northern Imperial City. At this time, the interior of the building had long been richly decorated. All of the Guest s who stayed behind were gathered here, and all of the beauties were holding a cup of red wine to chat with the bystanders.

    Xia Xuan did not like this kind of place. Back then, he had lived a carefree life that lasted for tens of thousands of years in the The Divine Realm. He was so used to being free and easy, and did not want to strike up a conversation with other sects.

    Carrying a cup of red wine, Xia Xuan arrived at a balcony. The night sky was beautiful, the stars in the sky were twinkling, and the moon appeared to be in the shape of a jade plate.

    "Isn''t it boring to drink alone?" Just as Xia Xuan was immersed in the beautiful night sky, a gentle voice sounded. Xia Xuan did not realize when the owner of the voice had approached him, but the only person who was able to come soundlessly to his side and have such a gentle voice was Yan Shuang alone.

    Xia Xuan did not turn his head to look at the flame frost but instead stared fixedly at the moon. A nostalgic expression surfaced on his face, as if he was trying to remember something beautiful.

    "Although wine is good wine, if she could drink with me, how good would that be?" Xia Xuan suddenly sighed, his words causing Yan Shuang to be stunned, so it turned out that Xia Xuan had always been missing the demon god.

    "Isn''t there a Demon Dwellers in the Hundred Wastelands? Why don''t we go to the Infernal domain in a few days?" A tinge of sadness appeared in Yan Shuang''s eyes, but she quickly retracted it. A smile appeared on her face, and she smiled at Xia Xuan.

    "It''s been hard on you, follow me everywhere." Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards Yan Shuang, a gentle look in his eyes as he caressed Yan Shuang''s golden hair.

    "You''re my brother." Yan Shuang nodded obediently and smiled.

    Xia Xuan retracted his palm, and once again looked towards the sky.

    At this moment, a tinge of dejection appeared in Yan Shuang''s eyes once again. That''s right, you''re my brother, and just my brother.

    The night passed quickly, and when the first rays of the morning sun shone on the land, Xia Xuan also restrained his aura and stopped his cultivation.

    Xia Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the rising sun, he could not help but smile, today there was going to be a hard fight.

    At the center of the Northern Imperial Gate was the disciple training field. Normally, this would be an empty field, but in the span of a night, a fighting stage over a hundred zhang wide and several zhang tall was pulled out of the ground.

    Although it was currently morning, the people from the Northern Imperial Clan were still awake. They all woke up early in the morning and gathered around the battling platform without eating breakfast, waiting to watch the competition.

    "Coming, coming." While people were conversing, someone within the crowd spoke out. Then, the entire crowd started to boil as everyone looked towards the entrance of the chaotic dojo.

    There were three figures at the entrance of the training grounds, and the leader of the three was Guo Yu. To Guo Yu''s left was a lady with a snake whip wrapped around her waist, regardless of her figure or looks, she was an absolute beauty. This person was Big Sister Guo Yu Guo Shuang. Although his talent was not as good as Guo Yu''s, he was still a well-known figure in the Duo Yi Hall. Even Guo Yu had to behave like a sheep in front of him.

    On the right of Guo Yu was a white-haired Old Man who was dressed in simple plain clothes. He looked old and decrepit, but actually, he had already participated in the Taotie feast yesterday, but even Xia Xuan did not notice his existence.

    Not long after Guo Yu and the other two arrived, another three people came to the training grounds. Among the three, one of them was dressed in black, his figure was slightly skinny, but his eyebrows were straight and he looked somewhat handsome.

    Of course, no one''s eyes were focused on Xia Xuan. Instead, it was Yan Shuang and Miao Linger, who were beside Xia Xuan, that attracted the vast majority of gazes, whether it was Yan Shuang or Miao Linger, both of them were devastatingly beautiful women. Some people among the two would even turn their gazes towards Xia Xuan.

    "Tsk." Seeing that everyone''s gaze was focused on and Yan Shuang, Guo Shuang could not help but let out a scoffing. All women more or less had a competitive spirit, and being pushed down by someone would inevitably give birth to displeasure.

    Hearing the sound, Guo Yu looked towards Guo Shuang, but seeing the displeasure on Guo Shuang''s face, he could only shake his head helplessly, no longer looking at her.

    Suddenly, a spiritual energy pressure appeared, and Han Shuanglong slowly floated down from the sky, landing right on the stage.

    "Good morning everyone. I believe everyone is here to watch the competition. Our hero also seems to be in a hurry." Once Han Shuanglong landed on the stage, he said: "Next, let''s invite Guo Yu onto the stage."

    With that, Han Shuanglong activated his spiritual energy and flew to the fighting stage, and everyone''s gazes turned towards Guo Yu and Xia Xuan. However, no one saw Xia Xuan and Guo Yu. It was only after about ten seconds did people realise that the two of them had already appeared on the stage. As for what they had seen previously, it was only an afterimage.

    When Xia Xuan and Guo Yu were facing each other, both of their eyes were filled with seriousness. Both sides could see the other party''s speed, and no matter which side it was, none of them dared to say that they had absolute confidence in defeating the other party.

    "Ha ˇŞ ˇŞ" The two of them shouted at the same time. The spiritual energy burst out from their bodies and blew away the dust on the stage. What was most surprising was that Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy''s degree of refinement was not one bit inferior to Guo Yu''s.

    Sensing the degree of refinement of the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had exploded on the stage, the Old Man who came along with him could not help but narrow his eyes. If a person''s refining level of a spiritual energy far surpassed their peers, then it was not impossible for them to challenge someone above their cultivation level. After all, the most important thing in raising one''s cultivation was not the amount of spiritual energy, but the quality of the spiritual energy, which was also the degree of condensation of the spiritual energy.

    Of course, this kind of person had a fatal weakness, and that was the lack of spiritual energy. No matter what kind of battle it was, they had to end it quickly, and after the battle was over, they would be exhausted and unable to continue fighting.

    "Old Yin, who do you think will make the first move?" Looking at the two people on the stage, Guo Shuang suddenly said to Old Man.

    "It must be that Xia Xuan brat who made the first move." From his point of view, if Xia Xuan wanted to win, he had to finish the battle quickly, so the first to make a move must be Xia Xuan.

    "Old Yin, you''re still the same as before. Have you forgotten about Little Yu''s personality again?" Guo Shuang covered his mouth and chuckled.

    In the duo, Guo Yu had never fought with anyone of the same age before, his opponents were all at least a stage higher than him. From the time he was young until now, he only had one tactic, and that was to end the battle quickly.

    "Hiss." Everyone let out surprised hisses, they saw that one of the people on the stage had moved, but that person was not Xia Xuan, but Guo Yu. The people could naturally see that Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy was about the same level as Guo Yu. He knew that Xia Xuan would have to finish the battle quickly if he wanted to win, but they never expected that Guo Yu would make the first move.

    On the stage, Guo Yu fiercely stomped on the ground, directly creating a one inch deep crater in the ground, he turned into a black shadow and exploded towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan also did not expect Guo Yu to be the first to make a move, and immediately used the spiritual energy s in his hands to intercept it.

    The fist that was wrapped by the spiritual energy was just about to smash into Guo Yu''s face, but Guo Yu suddenly blurred for a moment, then Xia Xuan''s fist actually went through Guo Yu. Even Xia Xuan was unable to see the speed at which Guo Yu had instantly erupted.

    The moment Xia Xuan''s fist passed through Guo Yu''s afterimage, Guo Yu had already appeared behind him. He raised his fist that was wrapped in a spiritual energy and smashed towards Xia Xuan.

    Guo Yu was indeed worthy of being called a genius of the Duo Cultivation. The combat experience he displayed caused many of the Sect Leader s in the various sects to be secretly amazed, they felt that they could not even protect themselves in such a situation.

    Guo Yu was indeed powerful, but his opponent this time was not an ordinary clan Sect Leader or some other expert training under the two gods. His opponent was the The Divine Realm, the number one divine general who had experienced hundreds of battles and crushed all mortals.

    Xia Xuan''s fist passed through Guo Yu''s afterimage. If it was a normal person, they would have been unable to withstand the force if their fist missed, but Xia Xuan was different. When his attack missed, he had already reacted, and the strength of his fist did not decrease at all.

    Because Xia Xuan had charged forward fiercely, Guo Yu''s fist directly smashed into the ground, his entire fist smashing into the ground, causing a hole to be smashed out. The hard rock beneath Guo Yu''s fist was as crisp as tofu.

    did not even pause when his fist missed. He immediately placed both of his arms at the side of his body to block the attack.

    "Boom!" Just as Guo Yu blocked his body with his arms, a whip kick brought about a sound of wind breaking as the whip landed on both of Guo Yu''s arms. In the midst of an explosive sound, Guo Yu''s entire body moved horizontally on the ground for more than ten meters, as a deep gouge was forcibly pulled out.

    Although Xia Xuan and Guo Yu''s fight was intense, everything happened in an instant. In that instant, the two experts exchanged several moves, if it were anyone else, they would not dare to say that they could easily dodge these attacks, and they would not even dare to counterattack at the same time.

    Seeing the gap between Xia Xuan and himself, many people secretly swallowed their Saliva. Who knew how much time and effort they had put in to cultivate these few moves.

    "As expected, he''s not simple." Guo Yu patted the dust off of his body, and spoke with a voice that did not contain any resentment from Xia Xuan''s attack. Instead, there was a tinge of admiration.

    "Admit it." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and smiled slightly, then a wave of spiritual energy gushed out from his body. The spiritual energy wrapped Xia Xuan within, and''s voice that had become slightly angrier said, "I hope Brother Guo can take this one seriously, don''t hold back."

    Xia Xuan could naturally tell that Guo Yu did not use his full strength in his previous attacks. Perhaps he just wanted to test Xia Xuan''s strength first, but he never thought that Xia Xuan would be able to defeat him in the first place.

    The corner of Guo Yu''s mouth raised slightly as he smiled, "Given the strength that you have just displayed, I naturally do not dare to hold back."

    The current Guo Yu was not injured, but that did not mean that his whip-leg from before was not even the slightest bit of a threat to him. It was just that Xia Xuan stopped his attack before his attack even reached Guo Yu, otherwise, a kick at full strength from Xia Xuan would definitely cause him to suffer a considerable amount of injuries.

    Countless spiritual energy gushed out from Guo Yu''s body and actually transformed into a pair of snow-white wings behind Guo Yu. With a gentle flap, Guo Yu transformed into a stream of light as he flew high into the sky.

    In the air, Guo Yu looked down at him from above. Countless spiritual energy feathers had detached themselves from their wings, but they did not land on the ground. Instead, they floated around Guo Yu and pointed at him.

    Guo Yu thought that since it was a battle, he should use his full strength. This was a form of respect to his opponent.

    "This stinking brat." Looking at the sharp feathers floating beside Guo Yu, Guo Shuang who was watching the competition silently cursed. This Guo Yu actually used his strongest move.

    Guo Yu was known as a genius rarely seen in a hundred years, not only did he reach the pinnacle of Fourth rank Xuan Lord at the age of twenty, he had even created many techniques of his own, of which the strongest was so far only possible to receive Sect Leader.

    Guo Yu was worried that if Guo Yu''s attack really did anything to Xia Xuan, the person behind him would be punished, and he, the Duo Yi Sect, would be removed from the list.

    "That''s more like it." Xia Xuan glanced at Guo Yu in the sky and could feel the sharpness of the feathers. He could not help but nod in satisfaction, as the battle that he had to go all out was what he needed.

    In an instant, the spiritual energy turned into a gigantic shadow. The gigantic shadow held the shield in its left hand and the sword in its right, and its hair seemed to have been drenched in blood. A terrifying killing intent surged out.

    The moment this huge shadow was formed, Xia Xuan''s legs bent. In order to condense this huge shadow, he had practically used up all the spiritual energy in his body. The current Xia Xuan could easily kill even an ordinary wild beast.

    Looking at the binocular that had formed the giant shadow of Xia Xuan, Guo Yu had a nagging feeling that this giant shadow had gained its own intelligence. This giant shadow probably did not need Xia Xuan''s control to attack him.

    A sense of danger gushed out from Guo Yu''s heart. He no longer wished to hesitate as he decided to charge forward with his strongest move.

    Guo Yu waved his hand, and the feathers that filled the air swished and rushed towards the gigantic shadow. The space where the feathers were slightly cracked open, showing how powerful the feathers were.

    Seeing Guo Yu''s attack, the gigantic figure''s left hand held a shield in front of his, the sharp feathers stabbing into the shield. Although the shield was pierced, it did not pierce through the shield.

    The feathers were all used up in a short while. At this moment, the shield was filled with feathers and every feather was pierced into the shield, causing it to look like a curling hedgehog.

    The shield moved away, and the gigantic shadow looked up to the sky, but when the gigantic shadow looked up, the binocular squinted.

 C171

    Chapter 171 - The draw

    The gigantic shadow binocular narrowed its eyes in a very human way. In the sky, Guo Yu was no longer there, but instead, a 300 m wide giant bird. The giant bird was made up of countless feathers that covered the giant bird''s body.

    A black dot could be vaguely seen in the giant bird''s body. That black shadow was Guo Yu. It was just that the current Guo Yu was in a coma, and did not seem like Guo Yu was controlling the giant bird, but rather the giant bird was borrowing Guo Yu''s power.

    ''s move could be said to be extremely dangerous. He condensed all of the spiritual energy into giant bird and handed the battle over to the giant bird. One had to know that the spiritual energy gave the order of everything, so the battle that the giant bird controlled was naturally not something Guo Yu could compare to. This kind of action could be exchanged for an incomparable amount of power, but Guo Yu had fainted. If an attack pierced through the giant bird at this moment, then his fate would definitely not be good.

    When the gigantic shadow saw the giant bird, it extended its wings, causing the feathers on its body to release countless cold lights. Before it could attack, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy had already escaped.

    "Behemoth" giant bird shouted, and its sharp feathers shot towards the gigantic shadow like a rain of arrows. The feathers sliced through the air, bringing about a sound of wind. Its aura was not any weaker than the previous feathers.

    The giant shadow held its shield in front of it once more. Even the giant shadow didn''t dare to take this attack head on.

    The feathers all exploded on the shield, but this time, the shield did not have much use. Under the attacks of the feathers, the shield was full of cracks and could break into pieces at any moment.

    BOOM! Under the attacks of the feathers, the shield finally failed to withstand the attacks and exploded. The huge wave of spiritual energy that was created by the explosion of the shield helped to dissolve the feather. Immediately, the giant bird stopped its attack and no longer wasted time in attacking Xia Xuan.

    The giant bird stared fixedly at the shield where the spiritual energy had exploded. Because the ripple was really too large, the giant bird could not clearly see what was going on with Xia Xuan at all.

    Before the ripple could dissipate, a huge shadow suddenly rushed out from the ripple. The gigantic shadow held a sword with both hands, the blood red binocular stared straight at the giant bird, the terrifying spiritual energy rolled on the sword''s body. Although the distance from the gigantic figure to its body was extremely huge, in that instant, the gigantic figure had already arrived in front of the giant bird.

    Being attacked by the huge shadow, the giant bird''s claws immediately grabbed at the huge shadow. It was not stupid enough to wait for the huge shadow to attack him with its sword before retaliating.

    Seeing the giant bird''s claws grabbing at him, the huge shadow immediately blocked the longsword''s claws that were grabbing at him.

    "Zi zi", although the gigantic shadow and the giant bird were formed from spiritual energy, when the giant bird clawed at the longsword, it released countless of sparks, as if the giant bird and the gigantic shadow were made of metal.

    Xia Xuan naturally would not continue to waste energy like the giant bird. With a wave of his hand, the gigantic shadow also started to move.

    After struggling free, the gigantic shadow did not stop at all. The spiritual energy spouted out and rushed straight towards the giant bird.

    "Tall Beast" giant bird was immediately shaken off and roared. Then, it spread its enormous pair of wings and shot out countless feathers in an instant.

    The next scene could be said to have stunned everyone. The longsword in the gigantic shadow''s hands crazily danced, and every single feather was blocked by the longsword, but because it was too fast, they could not see clearly how the longsword moved, only countless sword images flickering.

    The huge shadow waved the longsword while flying towards it, desperately trying to shorten the distance between the two of them.

    As the distance between them decreased, the speed at which the gigantic shadow longsword was waving its wings became harder and harder to keep up with. After Feather broke through the longsword, he pierced through the gigantic shadow''s body. Although he did not pierce the Xia Xuan in the gigantic shadow''s body, he still managed to cause quite a bit of damage to the gigantic shadow.

    In the end, the distance between the giant shadow and the giant bird was not very far, but the giant shadow was already riddled with thousands of holes.

    "Still not strong enough." Xia Xuan who was inside the huge shadow shook his head helplessly, and looked at the giant bird, his eyes had a hint of ruthlessness, and said, "I''ll go all out."

    In the next moment, the longsword that was brandishing out the gigantic shadow suddenly stopped, countless spiritual energy condensed on top of it, and then the gigantic shadow threw it out.

    After throwing out the longsword, the gigantic shadow immediately crossed his hands together, using all of the spiritual energy s as defense, trying to prevent the Xia Xuan in his body from getting hurt.

    Without the longsword, the huge shadow was immediately pierced by countless feathers. On the other hand, the giant bird who had been focused on attacking did not have any plans to defend itself, and the moment the huge shadow threw out the longsword, it was already too late to defend itself.

    The longsword had pierced through the giant bird''s body, and its target was Guo Yu. In merely an instant, the longsword was already a few inches away from Guo Yu.

    Just as the longsword was about to hit Guo Yu, the longsword suddenly turned into a web, wrapping Guo Yu in a giant web and ruthlessly pulling it out of the giant bird''s body.

    Without Guo Yu, the giant bird immediately dissipated and did not attack the gigantic shadow anymore. However, this did not mean that the gigantic shadow had won, only a shattering sound could be heard and countless cracks appeared on the gigantic shadow''s body. In the end, under everyone''s astonished gazes, it exploded into fragments that filled the sky.

    At this moment, both Xia Xuan and Guo Yu had lost consciousness, and two figures directly descended from the sky. Just as the two were about to land on the ground, two figures flashed past simultaneously and caught the two.

    At this moment, the ones standing on the field were Yan Shuang and Guo Shuang. These two beautiful figures immediately attracted everyone''s attention. Of course, most people were looking at Yan Shuang.

    At this moment, Yan Shuang hugged Xia Xuan as she looked at him benevolently. This fool, it was just a competition, was he really going to go all out?

    Guo Shuang who was holding Guo Yu stared straight at Yan Shuang. No matter how hard she tried to probe, she could not feel any trace of spiritual energy energy from Yan Shuang''s body, but if Yan Shuang was able to catch Xia Xuan, then he must not be an ordinary person. In other words, the person standing in front of her might be the God who stood behind Xia Xuan.

    "The match is over. Due to both parties being unconscious, it is a draw." Han Shuanglong''s voice sounded, deciding on this unexpected result. He never expected that the battle between the two would end in a draw.

    Xia Xuan woke up very quickly from his sleep. When he woke up, he had nothing better to do, so he casually strolled around the garden with a cup of hot tea in hand. As he enjoyed the beautiful scenery and drank the tea, he had a sense of elegance.

    "Not going back?" A gentle voice rang out and it was unknown when Yan Shuang had arrived behind Xia Xuan.

    "No, we have to go there as soon as possible." Xia Xuan did not turn to look at Yan Shuang, but instead, shook his head and said gently: "I will be troubling you on Stellar Martial Gate."

    "Don''t worry." Yan Shuang complied, ripping out a space tunnel. She immediately entered the space tunnel and left.

    Naturally, Xia Xuan would not just let the Stellar Martial Gate become the strongest sect in the Homo sapiens area. This Hundred Desolate Land was divided into three realms by the people, demons, and beasts. If he wanted to become the number one sect, he had to become the strongest sect in the entire Hundred Desolate Land.

 C172

    Chapter 172 - Infernal domain

    The Hundred Desolate Land was divided into three regions, which were the Human Domain, Beast Domain and Infernal domain. The Infernal domain was the strongest among the three regions, and compared to the Infernal domain, the Human Domain was only a small region.

    A bustling street scene played out every day in Infernal domain''s Mule Tong City.

    Xia Xuan and Miao Linger''s first stop at Infernal domain was Moumou Tong, it was the busiest city in Infernal domain, although the city was not very big, but every year at this time, it was the place that everyone in Infernal domain paid the most attention to, because there was always a auction being held at this time of year in the Moumou Restaurant.

    Walking on the main street of the Mule Lake, the ones coming and going were not Homo sapiens, but all of them had Demon Dwellers s that had the symbol of the Demon Dwellers behind them.

    Even though it was only a small city, the number of people within it was not small. As they walked forward, Xia Xuan and Miao Linger basically could not control their own path, they were completely carried away by the crowd.

    In the city, there was an extremely eye-catching building, it was a gigantic Auction, 99% of the people that came to the Mule City were all here for the auction, for the sake of coming to the auction house, Xia Xuan had spent 6 hours, one could see just how terrifying the human traffic was.

    At this time, the outside of the auction place was packed with people, because today was the day of the auction, but the auction house was not even open yet, and people who came early were already gathered outside of Auction House, becoming people without end.

    "Why are you still not opening the door? Is there a problem with the Hundred Empire Gate?" The sun was shining warmly in the sky, but people did not like such enthusiasm. In the end, someone could not stand the heat and wanted to make a scene.

    "That''s right, your elder has already waited for a long time. If you still refuse to open the door, then just barge in." Following the appearance of this shout, a series of echoes sounded out. There were already many people who could not wait any longer and the weather was extremely hot.

    Xia Xuan and Miao Linger had been sitting in a teahouse far away from the crowd. Looking at the noisy crowd, Xia Xuan took a sip of tea and then smiled slightly. The temper of the Demon Dwellers s were even more violent than that of the Homo sapiens''s, causing them to wait for a few hours under the hot weather.

    "Rumble." Just as the Demon Dwellers were about to forcefully open the gate, the gate to the Auction House slowly opened and rows after rows of Soldiers s walked out. Each of the Soldiers s held a pike in their hands and the pike emitted a cold aura.

    When the Soldiers s walked out, another figure walked out. After seeing that figure, everyone''s expression became extremely interesting. Everyone''s eyes were filled with desire. However, there was a fear that was difficult to hide under their desire.

    The one who walked out was a beautiful woman, he was dressed in a red qipao, his hot body made even Miao Linger jealous.

    There was not a trace of arrogance on beautiful woman''s face, and his gaze was extremely amiable. Looking at the crowd, he had a smile on his face, at first glance, it looked extremely friendly, but it was this smile that caused countless people who coveted his beauty to pay a heavy price.

    "Who was the one who was trying to rebel?" beautiful woman smiled, the smile on his face became even wider, but after seeing that smile, everyone secretly swallowed their Saliva, no one daring to speak.

    When beautiful woman saw that no one said a word, the smile on his face slowly disappeared. With a slightly angry voice, he said, "Have you forgotten whose territory this is?"

    The crowd was forced to lower their heads by beautiful woman''s words. Although the beautiful woman''s words were a bit unpleasant to listen to, no one dared to resist because behind the beautiful woman stood a first grade Infernal domain sect. That sect''s name was'' Pan''s Foot ''sect.

    "Why are you so angry? It''s not like it''s a big deal." Just at this moment, a laugh sounded out, instantly attracting everyone''s gazes.

    The newcomer was a man and a woman, both in their teens. The man was somewhat skinny, dressed in black with sharp eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes. Although he had a smile on his face, he gave off a dangerous vibe. The woman''s face was young and tender. Although she tried her best to act haughty, it was impossible to conceal the fact that she was a newborn child.

    Seeing that the ones who were speaking were two inexperienced kids, all of the surprise in their eyes disappeared and was replaced with a smile that seemed like they were watching a show. No one didn''t know what would happen if they talked back to the beautiful woman, even if the other party was just two kids.

    There was originally a smile on her face when she heard someone pointing at her beautiful woman, but when she saw Xia Xuan and Miao Linger, she immediately froze. Other people might only be concerned about Xia Xuan''s age, but she was concerned about the Winged Flood Dragon Flame in Xia Xuan''s hands.

    Although flamethrower were not real divine instrument, they were still semi-divine apparatus s. A Weapons of this level was not something that a Sixth grade Profound King like Xia Xuan could tame, unless he was the reincarnation of the flamethrower''s master.

    beautiful woman was stunned in public. He did not use her sinister methods, but was stunned for a long time.

    Xia Xuan kept his flamethrower and slowly walked to the front of the beautiful woman with a kind smile. The gaze he used to look at the beautiful woman with contained a touch of nostalgia, as if he was looking at an old friend that he hadn''t seen for many years.

    "Is that you?" Tears welled up in beautiful woman''s eyes, and his jade-like hand trembled as he held them back to Xia Xuan''s face.

    "Long time no see, May." Without even waiting for beautiful woman''s hand to touch his face, Xia Xuan had already grabbed his jade hand and placed his jade hand on his face. Feeling the coldness from his jade hand, tears had already started to flow from Xia Xuan''s eyes.

    "Pu" beautiful woman suddenly made a shocking movement as she hugged Xia Xuan. His tears flowed freely down his face, turning into two streams.

    "What''s going on?" The surrounding people looked at each other in dismay. They didn''t know what was going on. Was this really the legendary incomparably fierce and cruel smile that was supposed to appear on the face of a fox, Gongsun Mei?

    "The Baili family has arrived." Moreover, a path was opened up in the back of the crowd. One could see a carriage slowly walking over from the distance. There was a picture on the carriage, it was a picture of a Wall.

    In the Infernal domain, it could be said that everyone did not recognize what that pattern represented. It represented the pattern of a rank 1 Infernal domain sect, Hundred Miles Sect.

    "The Hundred Miles Sect is here. There''s going to be a good show." Seeing that the Hundred Miles Sect had arrived, many voices sounded out from the crowd, and no one did not know that the Young Sect Leader of the Hundred Miles Sect had feelings for Gongsun Mei. Now, Gongsun Mei was hugging Xia Xuan, she was afraid that there would be a good show to watch later.

    The carriage finally stopped in front of the Auction House''s main entrance and the curtains of the carriage were slowly lifted. A man walked out of the carriage.

 C173

    Chapter 173 - Before Opening

    The man lifted the curtain of the carriage. His originally handsome face was somewhat dark as he stared at the couple a short distance away. The man and woman did not seem to notice the man''s gaze as they continued to hug each other.

    "Alright, this is a public event, stop crying." Xia Xuan patted Gongsun Mei''s back and said gently.

    Gongsun Mei was extremely obedient to Xia Xuan''s words. After hearing Xia Xuan''s words, she slowly loosened her arms and wiped away the tears on her face, revealing a cute smile, causing the people around to be dumbstruck.

    Laughing Fox Gongsun Meimei had never laughed so cutely at a person before.

    "Boy, you''re blocking my path." Just then, an unkind voice came out, only to see a man standing behind Xia Xuan, it was the man from the Hundred Miles Sect.

    Xia Xuan turned and glanced at the man, and the brow could not help but frown, the man''s face was filled with a sinister and sharp voice, indicating that he did not come with good intentions. Xia Xuan turned to look at the carriage, and instantly recognized the pattern on it. It was the pattern of the Hundred Miles Sect, in his previous life, Xia Xuan had interacted with the Hundred Miles Sect when he was still in Infernal domain.

    "What are you looking at? Scram for me." The man showed no mercy and pushed Xia Xuan away. He then turned his head to look at Gongsun Mei and smiled. "Ah Mei, did you miss me?"

    "Pa!" A clear and melodious sound rang out. Everyone present was stunned. Gongsun Mei had actually slapped the man.

    "Baili Hong, Auction House Mu Tong doesn''t welcome you today." Gongsun Mei''s voice turned ice-cold. It wasn''t the usual cold tone that usually rejected people by a thousand miles, but the kind that came from being disgusted with someone.

    was completely dumbstruck by Gongsun Mei''s slap, his hand slowly touching his burning hot face. Although Gongsun Mei usually disliked him, she had never fought against him before. One must know that the Hundred Miles Sect''s power was not weaker than her.

    Baili Hong glanced at Gongsun Mei and then turned his gaze towards Xia Xuan. He did not dare to make a move against his, but no one would dare to say a thing when going against a Mystical King.

    "Kid, why aren''t you getting lost?" Anger surfaced on Baili Hong''s face, and he raised his hand to slap Xia Xuan. Baili Hong knew that it was because of Xia Xuan, Gongsun Mei, that would hit him, and he needed to be taught a lesson about this kind of threat.

    Seeing that Baili Hong was about to hit Xia Xuan, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. When Baili Hong patted his big hand, not only did he not do anything, his own hand instead felt as if it had hit a metal board, causing him to feel pain from the impact.

    Baili Hong held onto the painful hand tightly, he fiercely looked at the owner of the big hand, but when he saw who it was, he was immediately stunned.

    The newcomer was a burly man with a ferocious look on his face. The bulging muscles all over his body showed his terrifying strength. The big sized man was staring at Bai Li Hong. Even though Baili Hong was the young Sect Leader of Hundred Miles Sect, the big sized man did not conceal his killing intent.

    Baili Hong had no doubt that if his palm had struck Xia Xuan, the big sized man would have killed him without hesitation.

    "Baili Hong, are you tired of living?" The big sized man''s voice was filled with killing intent, causing Baili Hong''s legs to tremble.

    "Tiger Sect Leader, this brat was being frivolous to Ah Mei. I just wanted to help Ah Mei teach him a lesson." Baili Hong obviously could not see the situation, and actually complained first.

    "F * ck off." The big sized man did not pay any attention to Baili Hong''s words, a terrifying killing intent surged out, his fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard, if not for the fact that he had some relationship with the Hundred Miles Sect Leader, he would have killed Baili Hong with a palm strike.

    Baili Hong clenched his teeth as he glared at Xia Xuan, but in the end he did not say anything, and could only turn around and leave. Although he was the Young Sect Leader of the Hundred Miles Sect, this burly man was the Sect Leader of the Boulder''s Gate, the famous Hu Zhentian. Even if his father saw Hu Zhentian, he would have to be courteous to him.

    "The Yan Clan has arrived." Just at this moment, a shout rang out, clearing a path in the crowd. A figure slowly walked over from the distance. That person was none other than Yan Luoyang, whom they had met before in the ancient ruins.

    Seeing Yan Luoyang arrive, Baili Hong, who was initially planning to take the carriage and leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks. The gaze he used to look at Yan Luoyang was filled with pleasant surprise, he was on good terms with Yan Luoyang, and Yan Luoyang supported him with his confidence in Hu Zhentian''s decision to let him stay behind.

    "Big brother, you''re here! I''ve been bullied!" Without waiting for Yan Luoyang to approach, Baili Hong had already ran in front of him and hurriedly complained.

    "Oh." He, Yan Luoyang, had the highest position in the Infernal domain, and many people knew that Baili Hong was his subordinate, but they didn''t know who dared to bully Baili Hong.

    Carrying the curiosity in his heart, Yan Luoyang''s gaze landed on a man dressed in black. That man was slightly thin, but it was that figure that Yan Luoyang always remembered, that they had met Lord of the Five Realms together in the ancient ruins, and he was also Big Brother Zhou Zhi Ling. To be able to make Zhou Zhi Ling recognize him as his big brother, he must have quite the ability.

    Yan Luoyang was still very interested in Xia Xuan.

    After seeing Xia Xuan, Yan Luoyang took a glance at Hu Zhentian, Yu Gongsun Mei, and immediately understood what was going on when he saw the three of them standing in the same position. He couldn''t help but shake his head and look at Baili Hong as he said, "You, I can''t help you this time."

    With that said, Yan Luoyang walked straight towards Xia Xuan, leaving behind the incomparably shocked Baili Hong.

    Licking his lips, the gaze Baili Hong looked at Xia Xuan with became somewhat fearful. Someone who even Yan Luoyang couldn''t do anything about, wasn''t this guy too terrifying?

    "We meet again." Yan Luoyang directly walked in front of Xia Xuan, and under Hu Zhentian''s vigilant gaze, he stretched out his palm towards Xia Xuan. A hint of a smile hung on his face, and he looked very friendly, without any hostility.

    Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei looked at each other. They naturally knew that Yan Luoyang was Big Brother Baili Hong, and after chasing Baili Hong away, they had initially been thinking about how to settle Yan Luoyang. However, looking at the situation now, Xia Xuan and Yan Luoyang seemed to know each other, and Yan Luoyang was even very respectful to Xia Xuan.

    The two of them shook their heads helplessly. This reincarnation of the Deicide was still so unexpected. It seemed that no matter where he went, there would always be someone he admired.

    "How''s your comprehension of those things?" Xia Xuan reached out and held Yan Luoyang''s hand, smiling mysteriously.

    Yan Luoyang naturally knew what Xia Xuan was talking about, and it was naturally the comprehension of the five elements that the Lord of the Five Realms had given him.

    After obtaining the insights from the Lord of the Five Realms, Yan Luoyang realized how shallow his understanding of the Five Element Eight Trigrams was. At the same time, he also sighed at how incredible it was for Zhou Zhi Ling to break the Heaven and Earth Spirit-Stealing Array.

    Chapter 174 - Moumou Tong Auction

    "Alright, let''s talk after we enter the Auction House. There are so many people here not to watch you stir up trouble." Gongsun Mei warned once, then turned and walked into the Auction House. Today''s grand event was not to look for trouble, but to prepare this one year old Moumou Clan Auction.

    Xia Xuan and Yan Luoyang looked at each other, then directly walked towards the Auction House.

    From the outside, the Auction House was indeed very large, but Xia Xuan had always thought that the inside of the Auction House was divided into many different regions. After entering the Auction House, however, he discovered that there was no difference in the entire Auction House, so this enormous space could probably fit all of the people in the city.

    Walking in the Auction House, Xia Xuan discovered that there were countless of hidden sentries in the darkness of the Auction House. Almost three steps for a sentry, ten steps for a sentry, and even Xia Xuan was surprised at the security of the sentry.

    "Big Brother, let''s go to the VIP lounge." Hu Zhentian had been following behind Xia Xuan the entire time, and after entering the Auction House, he pointed to a high ground in the Auction House as he spoke.

    Xia Xuan nodded, then activated his spiritual energy and flew towards the VIP room.

    "Your Highness, do you want to come along?" Seeing that Xia Xuan had moved, Hu Zhentian turned to Yan Luoyang and said. Although he was a first-grade sect, he did not dare to treat Yan Luoyang with the slightest bit of disrespect. One must know that Yan Luoyang''s status was also below the Demon World''s, which meant that he was an existence above tens of thousands of people.

    "Yes." However, the binocular that was looking at Xia Xuan narrowed its eyes. Although it was not much of a big deal to him, he still cared a lot about Hu Zhentian. Someone who could make Hu Zhentian willingly call him big brother was the strongest in the Infernal domain.

    In the VIP room, there were three large sofas, all kinds of delicious food. Standing in the VIP room, one could overlook the entire Auction House, but they could not see the scene in the VIP room because the VIP room was made of a special type of material, which could only be seen in one direction.

    After entering the VIP room, Xia Xuan laid down on the sofa, picked up a bunch of grapes and began to eat them.

    "You ˇ­ have you seen this little brat?" Yan Luoyang elegantly sat on the other sofa while Hu Zhentian stood at the side, looking at Xia Xuan with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

    "I''ve been looking for him. He''s in the Mortal Realm. He''s been waiting for me the entire time." Hearing that Hu Zhentian had mentioned Xiao Zhi, Xia Xuan''s hand that was holding onto the grape suddenly stopped moving, and his voice also contained a tinge of sadness.

    "In your previous life, after you died, he blamed himself." As Hu Zhentian said that, a figure appeared in front of him.

    Xia Xuan was only one of them, and Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei were two of them. Every time Xia Xuan died, they would travel to various places in the Hundred Wastelands, and after Xia Xuan was reincarnated, they would gather together again. They had once established an organization that would cause the hearts of many to tremble in fear.

    "Send the Black Crows Command." Xia Xuan slowly put down the grape, his voice becoming incomparably cold. Even Yan Luoyang was incomparably shocked by what he had said.

    "Black Crows Token! You are from the Black Crows? " Yan Luoyang fiercely jumped up from the sofa, without a trace of elegance left. The binocular stared at him with its round eyes and an expression of disbelief.

    "There''s nothing to hide. We are the people of the Black Crows, and in the near future, the name of the Black Crows will once again become famous." Xia Xuan did not try to cover it up at all. He picked up a cup of wine and took a sniff.

    "Wait, isn''t the Black Crows Medallion something that only the leader of the Black Crows can issue? "Could it be that you ˇ­" Yan Luoyang suddenly realized something, and stared straight at Xia Xuan. He could vaguely guess Xia Xuan''s identity.

    "Every mistake, Beiming Wang, Clear Star King, Star King, Coma Ice King, and Zeus are all mine." Xia Xuan slowly recited his name from his previous life and Yan Luoyang felt that it was becoming more and more inconceivable. The five leaders of the Black Crows were actually the same person, and this person was actually right in front of him.

    Everyone rushed into the Auction House like floodwaters. While Xia Xuan and the other two were talking in the VIP room, the Auction House was already filled with people.

    Suddenly, the lights of the Auction House went out. The people''s breathing could be heard clearly in the darkness of the Auction House where there was no light. In the center of the Auction House was a platform, and the platform was very big. This platform would become the center of attention for the entire Auction House, because there were countless treasures that would make people covet them as they came up one by one.

    Finally, a pillar of light descended from the skies above Auction House, shining on the platform.

    The person who appeared on the stage was a beautiful woman dressed in a cheongsam. That person was none other than Gongsun Mei.

    Gongsun Mei''s face had a smile on it at this time, the figure that would make countless women jealous seemed incomparably tempting under the illumination of the lantern light. Although everyone knew that she was a smiling faced fox, in this dark environment, everyone''s eyes were filled with greed, and the voice of the swallowing Saliva sounded out from within the Auction House.

    "First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming here to take part in the ceremony organized by the ''Pan''s Foot''. This is your support for us, the ''Pan''s Foot''." Gongsun Mei''s gentle voice sounded out, while everyone was immersed in the gentle voice, Gongsun Mei''s voice suddenly became incomparably cold, only listening to it, "Secondly, I hope you all do not disrupt the order in the Auction, we, the Boulder''s Gate, are not weak as well."

    Only after Gongsun Mei''s cold voice rang out did people remember that the woman standing on the stage was not some ordinary woman that could be seen everywhere by the roadside. Her methods would cause even some people who did nothing but commit crimes to feel a chill in their hearts.

    "The first Auction is next to invite us." He pointed to the other side of the platform and saw a small cart being slowly pushed over. On the cart, there was a large red cloth covering it, so it was impossible to see what exactly the item under the red cloth was, but from the bulging shape of the red cloth, one could roughly guess what it was.

    "This Auction must be that thing." When Xia Xuan saw the Auction, he was startled. He never thought that the Boulder''s Gate had fallen to such a state that it would actually want to auction the treasures of his sect.

    Ah Mei and I are not very good at managing it. Although we can earn a lot from the yearly income of the Mule s, we are still broke. Hu Zhentian lowered his head, a hint of shame in his voice. After leaving Xia Xuan''s side, he actually couldn''t even manage a sect properly.

    Looking at Hu Zhentian who had his head lowered, complex emotions flashed across Xia Xuan''s eyes. Since he had returned, he would not let his brothers suffer such hardships.

 C175

    Chapter 175 - Crazy Bidding

    "Next, let''s take a look at the true appearance of the first Auction." Gongsun Mei pinched a corner of the red cloth and mysteriously said this. Then, she abruptly pulled the red cloth away.

    "Hiss." As the red cloth was pulled away, hissing sounds rang out. This Auction was indeed worthy of being called one of the famous Auction. Just the first Auction was already so precious.

    The red cloth was lifted off, revealing a three inch long and three inch wide piece of jade. Although it was only placed there, the cart that held it was covered with a layer of thin ice.

    I believe all of you here should recognize this item. Born in the extreme north, gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and after ten thousand years, this piece of top-grade jade is our Boulder Sect''s treasure. But for the Auction, we have decided to use this item as the first Auction. Gongsun Mei caressed Zong Yu as she stated in a gentle voice, her gaze fixated on a VIP lounge.

    "Satisfied, of course I''m satisfied." Many spectators chimed in, and from time to time, the sounds of Saliva s could be heard.

    With regards to Zong Yu, there was no one in the entire Hundred Wastelands who didn''t covet him. This Zong Jade contained the power of extreme cold, and its most coveted ability was to help a ninth stage Xuanzun expert break through to the Mysterious Sect.

    Xuanzun and Mysterious Sect were two completely different levels of existence. A Xuanzun Ranker might be able to establish a strong sect in the Hundred Barren Empire, but without the Mysterious Sect Monster as the patriarch of the sect, they would definitely not be considered a super sect. In front of a Mysterious Sect Ranker, Xuanzun s were existences that were completely useless.

    Of course, a nine stage Xuanzun could be counted on one hand, but that did not diminish the value of Zong Yu, because the extreme cold energy within the Zong Yu also had many benefits for a normal Xuanzun. Even if a first stage Xuanzun was absorbed, it would still be able to reach the fifth stage of the Ancestor Realm.

    "Because Auction are too precious, this time Auction is completely exchanging them for items. I will be the one to appraise which items will cost more." Gongsun Mei did not mention Zong Yu''s price, but instead said something astonishing. To trade for an item, this was an auction method that only Auction would use, but right now, the first Auction would use this method.

    "This Auction is truly worthy of being the most magnificent Auction in Infernal domain." In the VIP room, Xia Xuan took a sip of the red wine, his face revealing a smile.

    The entire Auction House was silent, for a moment no one knew what to exchange, after all Zong Yu was too precious, if they wanted to exchange it for a few treasures, but there were very few who could afford to take out a few treasures, no wonder the scene suddenly became quiet.

    Gongsun Mei stood on the stage. The smile on her face receded, and she did not feel awkward at all due to the silence of the stage. After all, she presided over the Auction every year, so it was not strange for her to preside over such a scene.

    "Three Xuanzun Pills." In the end, a voice broke the silence, but the voice caused Gongsun Mei to furrow her brows. Xuanzun Pills could help one''s Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor break through to the Xuanzun, although it was very precious, three Xuanzun pills were not comparable to Zong Yu at all. This kind of bid was enough to cause a commotion.

    Everyone looked at the person who spoke. Even though the Auction House was dark, it did not affect their vision at all. As long as they wrapped the binocular in it, they would be able to see clearly.

    The person who spoke was a skinny man. After the man sensed the gazes of the crowd, he could not help but shrink his head back. After all, his bid was really too low.

    There were no more bids on the auction, many people were very cunning. Since ''Pan''s Foot'' had fallen to the point of being able to take out Zong Yu and auction her off, as long as everyone did not bid and let Zong Yu sell her off, then at that time, the ''Pan''s Foot'' would take out the Zong Yu and sell it for a good deal. At that time, it would be better than spending an expensive price to buy it.

    "One Zong Transformation Pill." Then, everyone headed towards a high place in the Auction House. There was a VIP room there, and from the outside world, no one could see who was in the VIP room, but everyone knew, that the only person who had the qualification to occupy the best VIP room was Yan Luoyang.

    Of course, everyone knew that Xia Xuan''s position in Hu Zhentian''s heart was a hundred times higher than that of Yan Luo Yang.

    There were no longer any bids in the auction hall. The Sect Transformation Pill was not only a treasure that could only be found in the Hundred Desolations, it was also a treasure that could only be found in the outside world. There was only one effect of this Zong Transformation Pill, and that was to increase the success rate of advancing the Mysterious Sect by a large margin.

    The main ingredient of this Zong jade pill was Zong Yu. The Zong jade that was currently being auctioned might not even be able to make a single Zong jade pill. Thus, the value of this Zong jade pill had already surpassed Zong Yulong''s.

    Under these circumstances, no one would dare to bid again. None of them were stupid. They wouldn''t spend something even more precious than the Fusion Sect Pill to buy Zong Yu. This was a 100% loss deal.

    "Congratulations to the Guest in VIP booth 1 for buying Zong Yu with a Zong transformation pill." Seeing that no one bid, Gongsun Mei''s face lit up, other people did not know, but she knew, that there was Xia Xuan in the VIP room, and that this big brother would not let his little brothers suffer.

    In the VIP room, Xia Xuan leisurely drank a mouthful of red wine. He did not care about the competition from before, but Yan Luoyang who was at the side looked at Xia Xuan with a puzzled expression.

    "Why are you doing this?" He really couldn''t understand why Xia Xuan would do such a thing. Xia Xuan was not an idiot, could it be that Zong Yu had some sort of special use to him?

    "No reason. Anyway, this piece of Zong Yu can only belong to us. No one else can do anything about it." Xia Xuan said indifferently, at the same time, he shook the wine cup in his hand, looking at the red wine that was shaking, a scene appeared in front of Xia Xuan.

    In that extreme cold place, Xia Xuan and his comrades walked along with great difficulty. At that time, they didn''t have much strength, and fought with all their might against the Zong Yu Guardian Beast in that extreme cold place. In the end, they obtained Zong Yu, and everyone stood around Zong Yu with joyous smiles on their faces.

    The rest of the Auction s were basically for the Demon Dwellers to use. Xia Xuan had no use for them, even though every single one of them would cause a huge commotion, Xia Xuan remained unmoved. He was only impressed by the fact that the Pan Chi Gate was able to collect so many treasures within a year.

 C176

    Chapter 176 - Bidding

    Because he was not a Demon Dwellers, Xia Xuan was not interested in those Auction. The leisurely Xia Xuan turned his gaze towards Yan Luoyang.

    At this moment, Yan Luoyang was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand. The red wine was shaking in his hand very regularly, and he was staring at the red wine with a misty look, as if he had something on his mind.

    Since the start of the Auction, Yan Luoyang''s expression had only changed during Xia Xuan''s bidding for Zong Yu. As for the Auction that followed after, Yan Luoyang did not even take a glance at it, which made Xia Xuan quite curious. Yan Luoyang was not bored to participate in the Auction. Since he was not interested in the other Auction, then he must be here for the Auction that was kept in the bottom of Auction.

    The Mule Tong Auction did not have an accurate opening time, and there was only one way to make the Mule Tong Auction open it, and that was to make a Auction that was worth opening. It could be said that every year, the people of the Auction came for the sake of seeing the true glory of such a treasure.

    "Brother Yan, could it be that among all the Auction, there isn''t even a single one that can fulfill our wish?" Xia Xuan suddenly said to Yan Luoyang. He felt that Yan Luoyang should have already known what the Auction was, and Xia Xuan was very curious about what the treasure that could move Yan Luoyang''s heart was.

    "These Auction are not bad, but they have not reached the stage where they can compete with others." When Yan Luoyang heard what Xia Xuan said, a smile surfaced on his face as he said very politely.

    "It''s said that the last Auction of every year is a treasure that will never appear. I wonder if Brother Yan is interested in that treasure?" Xia Xuan smiled and said.

    "Hmph, what feelings do you have that makes you uninterested? It''s just coming to experience it. If Brother Xia wants to know what that Auction is, you can ask the Tiger Sect Leader." Yan Luoyang immediately understood what Xia Xuan was trying to do, and immediately turned to look at him.

    Hu Zhentian felt that the two''s target of conversation had turned towards him, and immediately became spirited: "That kind of treasure can be said to be the most mysterious trump card in the Mule Auction, we only know that this Auction has the ability to solidify the cultivation of soul and spiritual energy, but the use of this Auction is definitely more than that, it''s just that we are unable to find out the use of this Auction, I can only guarantee that it will be related to the Six Daos."

    Hearing what Hu Zhentian said, Xia Xuan''s gaze could not help but turn towards Yan Luoyang. Yan Luoyang''s goal was very clear, and he had come precisely for that Auction.

    "That Auction is about to arrive. I need to go down there and protect it. Goodbye." Following the release of another Auction, Hu Zhentian''s face revealed a serious expression, and then he turned around and walked out of the VIP room.

    "Go." Xia Xuan waved his hand and said indifferently.

    At that time, Hu Zhentian would be needed to intimidate them. As a first rank sect Sect Leader, his strength had long reached the sixth stage of the Xuanzun, and with him, the spectators would still wait until after the end of the competition to snatch from the others.

    The Auction was slowly pushed down the platform, Gongsun Mei''s gaze turned to look ahead, only to see Hu Zhentian slowly walking over, nodding to Hu Zhentian. Gongsun Mei took a deep breath, then said to the spectators: "Next up, this Auction is our last Auction, I believe everyone is looking forward to seeing this Auction."

    Just as they were speaking, a cart was slowly pushed over, and several big men came along with it. These big men were all Xuanhuang experts, and the group that was escorting them even had several Xuanhuang s. It was hard to imagine just how many Xuanzun experts were guarding them from the shadows.

    "This Auction is named as Origin Stone by our ''Pan Zhe Gate''. It is known to have the ability to solidify soul and strengthen spiritual energy, so we thought that our ''Pan Zhe Gate'' is unable to detect its other uses. However, what we know is that this object has a relationship with the power of six Daos." When Gongsun Mei''s words came out, the Auction House immediately gasped one after another.

    If all things followed the six paths, even if one was able to grasp a bit of the six paths, they would still become the strongest existence in the Human Realm. Although he did not manage to find out what the six paths were at the moment, but as long as it was something related to the six paths, it would still be considered a treasure in the Human Realm.

    "Gulp." As long as they had Origin Stones, they had a very high chance of becoming experts that could rule over a region. Although it was just a small possibility, it was enough to make people go crazy, and the temptation that this possibility brought was too enticing.

    "Boom" A wave of spiritual energy soared into the sky. Everyone looked over, only to see that Hu Zhentian had already released his spiritual energy, revealing the terrifying aura of a sixth grade Xuanzun.

    Although the temptation of the Origin Stones were great, there was no need to fight over them. Not to mention how small the chances of snatching them were, just Hu Zhentian alone was enough for people to consider them over and over again. After all, a sixth stage Xuanzun could not be considered as the peak of the strongest in the Infernal domain, but it was still a safe place.

    "Not this one." Xia Xuan stared at the Origin Stones that were being surrounded by the brawny man on the platform and thought. Although the power of six Daos was a precious treasure to mortals, Yan Luoyang who had inherited the power of six Daos from the Lord of the Five Realms had more or less the power of six Daos. He was unable to absorb different power of six Daos, and what attracted him must be other things.

    "Because Origin Stones are truly too precious, we must also use the method of exchanging items. Everyone, please bid." Gongsun Mei was very satisfied with the audience''s reactions. The more the audience wanted the Origin Stones, the more intense the bidding. At that time, the benefits they would receive would also be greater.

    "Three Zong Transformation Pills." Soon, a bid was called out. This first bid immediately shocked everyone. Three Zong Stage Pills. This price instantly dispelled the thought of 80% of the people.

    "Five Soul-Returning Pill." The Soul-Returning Pill s were said to have the ability to revive the dead. Although their value was not as great as the Zong Formation Pill, the value of five Soul-Returning Pill s was definitely higher than three Zong Transformation Pellets.

    "Ten Sect Transformation Pills and ten Soul-Returning Pill." Shocked voices sounded out from the audience, causing everyone to give up on their idea. Ten Sect Transformation Pills and ten Soul-Returning Pill, even a super sect like the Infernal domain would not be able to take it out.

    Yan Luoyang was indeed rich. Everyone exclaimed in their hearts. If it was Yan Luoyang, he should really be able to take out so many Pills.

    "Ten Zong Transformation Pills, ten Soul-Returning Pill s, and one Nine-Headed Samsara Pill." Just when everyone thought that the Origin Stones would be swatted away by Yan Luoyang, an even more shocking sound echoed.

    Everyone turned to look at the VIP room, and that voice actually came from the VIP room where Yan Luoyang was. This Yan Luoyang was actually bidding against him? What was going on?

    The spectators in the Auction House looked at each other, they did not realize that the two voices calling out prices were shouted by two people, because Xia Xuan deliberately changed his voice, causing everyone to think that the person who called out the prices twice was Yan Luoyang.

 C177

    Chapter 177 - Public Sentence

    In the VIP room, Yan Luoyang looked towards the man dressed in black who had just called out a price, and the brow couldn''t help but frown. He didn''t know why Xia Xuan wanted to bid, since he had obtained the inheritance of the Lord of the Five Realms, he should not care about the power of the six Daos.

    "Brother Yan, this one is also very interested in this Origin Stone. My bid did not anger the Brother Yan, right?" Xia Xuan stared fixedly at Yan Luoyang, his face had a playful smile on it. Since Yan Luoyang was unwilling to reveal the secret of the Origin Stone, then Xia Xuan would slap him down.

    Of course, Xia Xuan was not worried that his Pills was not enough, the Lord of the Five Realms had collected a lot of spirit herbs, just that Xia Xuan''s earlier bid was actually just a drop in the bucket.

    "Of course not, I just hope you can adjust your voice a bit." The reason why Xia Xuan had disguised his voice was so that everyone would think that he had bought the Origin Stone was so that he could reduce some of the trouble Xia Xuan was in, but for Yan Luoyang, it was not good. Although he admired Xia Xuan, he did not want to be the scapegoat for.

    Yan Luoyang turned his gaze towards the platform as he spoke, a hint of greed actually appearing in his eyes. To him, Origin Stones were simply too enticing, even if he had to put everything on the line to win the bid.

    "20 Fusion Sect Pills, 20 Soul-Returning Pill s and 2 Nine Dragons Revolving Pill." Another bid sounded out. The spectators in the Auction House looked at each other, vaguely guessing that Yan Luoyang was not the only one in the VIP room. They probably wanted to let everyone not know who had bid for the Source Stone.

    In the VIP room, Xia Xuan had noticed the greed in Yan Luoyang''s eyes when he looked at the Origin Stone. Right now, he was certain that this Origin Stone was not like the ones on the surface, but it definitely had a much more precious ability than the six paths of power.

    Actually, his earlier bid was already the most Pills that he could take out. Even if his status was not low, no matter which one of the three Pills he bid on, they were all treasures that could only be encountered and not sought for. Especially the Nine Solitary Returning Pellet, which was said to be able to resurrect soul, it was truly a resurrecting of the dead.

    "Brother Xia, if you can offer an even higher price, I''m willing to admit defeat." Yan Luoyang faintly smiled towards Xia Xuan. If Xia Xuan could really come up with an even higher price, it wouldn''t be a big deal if he admitted defeat.

    "Brother Yan is also a man of character." Xia Xuan sneered, then shouted towards Gongsun Mei''s direction: "Twenty Fusion Pills, twenty-one Soul-Returning Pill, and two Solidified Return Pills."

    Xia Xuan could naturally tell that Yan Luoyang could no longer take out an even higher price, so he did not raise the price too much. He only added one Soul-Returning Pill, but that Soul-Returning Pill would determine the ownership of the Origin Stone.

    "Is there anyone else offering a higher price?" Gongsun Mei shouted towards the Auction House after hearing Xia Xuan''s bid. Of course, no one would answer her.

    Congratulations, distinguished guests from VIP booth 1, for bidding on Origin Stones, and all of you are grateful for your active bid. Everyone, remember this in your hearts, we will support our ''Pan''s Foot'' gate, and we will take care of the next round of Moumou Clan Auction s more diligently. This year''s Moumou Clan Auction s will end here, thank you everyone. Gongsun Mei bowed deeply to the audience, and then the Auction ended.

    In the VIP room, Yan Luoyang grabbed Xia Xuan''s neck with all his might. This guy was actually imitating his voice when he called out prices last time. He had already helped him last time at the Ancient Ruins but he didn''t expect him to be so shameless now.

    Naturally, no one would believe that someone who imitated Yan Luoyang''s voice would be able to win an Origin Stone. In other words, Yan Luoyang was definitely going to win this pot.

    "Let go, I''m going to strangle you to death." Xia Xuan struggled with all he had, his purple face looked somewhat comical.

    "Humph!" "Next time is not the case." Yan Luoyang let out a cold snort, and finally released Xia Xuan.

    Very quickly, Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei arrived at the VIP room, and the moment Hu Zhentian entered, he threw a storage ring to Xia Xuan and said: "The items are inside."

    Xia Xuan took the storage ring, and directly put it on his finger, and then a bag appeared in his hand, releasing a strong medicinal fragrance.

    Xia Xuan was not reluctant to part with it, he immediately threw the bag back to Xia Xuan, then turned and walked out of the VIP room.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was about to leave, Gongsun Mei quickly pulled on Xia Xuan and asked: "Are we not waiting for them?"

    Gongsun Mei naturally knew what Xia Xuan was thinking. Although Xia Xuan had imitated Yan Luoyang''s voice, anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell that it was Xia Xuan imitating. In this way, there would definitely be a lot of people scheming against Xia Xuan, while Xia Xuan wanted to face those people alone.

    Gongsun Mei naturally did not wish for Xia Xuan to face so many people by himself. When Hu Zhentian gave out his Black Crows Badge, all his former comrades would naturally come.

    "If I need your help with such a small matter, then what''s the point of being my big brother?" Xia Xuan smiled slightly, laughing very heroically. Seeing Xia Xuan like this, Gongsun Mei felt like she was looking at the big brothers who were always supporting them in her previous life.

    In the end, Gongsun Mei did not stop Xia Xuan from leaving. Looking at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure, not only did he not have a trace of worry, there was even a smile on his face.

    The entire Moumou Tong City was actually the territory of the Boulder''s Gate. Once the Auction was over, the Mule Tong City would enter a state of seclusion, because there were many people who would go and snatch the items that were sold to them by other people after the end of the Auction, and the Boulder''s Gate did not wish for them to take them away in the city. Thus, not long after the end of the Auction, the ''Pan''s Footloose Gate'' had ordered for the guests to leave.

    Countless people rushed towards the city gate, but what everyone didn''t know was that inside the mule-wielding Auction, a silver light quietly flashed, and then flipped over the Wall.

    Xia Xuan was naturally not afraid of that ancestor, but if there was unnecessary trouble, he would avoid it.

    Moumou Tong City was a city surrounded by mountains, and outside of Mule Tong City, the mountains were filled with forests, it was hard to find anyone else as long as one hid there. This was also the reason why Mule Tong Auction House was built here, there were some people who could hide inside the city, this way people could be at ease in bidding.

    Very soon, the silver lightning appeared in the biggest mountain outside of the city. This mountain was known as Black Mist Mountains and Rivers, and was not only the biggest mountain, but also the most dangerous mountain.

    The Black Mist Mountains and Rivers was covered by the black mist all year round, and the spirit beast inside seemed to be affected by the black mist. Their nature was extremely irritable, and adding that they had been living here all year round, they were already used to the black mist, and would definitely be attacked by the spirit beast walking in there. Normal people would not choose to enter the Black Mist Mountains and Rivers, so Xia Xuan decided to come here.

    Not long later, the silver lightning arrived at Black Mist Mountains and Rivers, and when the silver lightning stopped, two figures revealed themselves. They were Xia Xuan and Miao Linger.

    Seeing the surrounding black fog, Miao Linger was already on tenterhooks. Even in Human Realm, the terror of this Black Mist Mountains and Rivers was very famous.

    "Come out, you must be tired from following me." Not long after stopping for a while, Xia Xuan suddenly shouted, as a burst of killing intent came out of his body. This killing intent had a clear target, it was a boulder not far behind Xia Xuan.

 C178

    Chapter 178 - Escape

    "Hmm?" Miao Linger looked behind her in shock. With her current strength, she was unable to sense who was there, who was Xia Xuan talking to?

    "Clap clap." It was obvious that he was a Demon Dwellers. It was just that this Demon Dwellers was a bit different from the other Demon Dwellers, the other Demon Dwellers''s wings were pure black, but this Demon Dwellers''s wings were a type of blood color, and the blood color was as thick as black.

    In his previous life, when he was wandering here, this Count of Bloody Cloth already had a bit of a reputation. As long as he felt it now, he would realize that his strength had already reached the peak of the fifth stage of Xuanzun. This person was not an easy opponent.

    "Brat, you do have a bit of strength, but you can actually sense the presence of this noble." The moment Count of Bloody Cloth appeared, he immediately cast a curious glance at Xia Xuan. He had used a concealment technique, with his strength, it was difficult for even Xuanzun experts to discover him. However, Xia Xuan was able to detect him from the start, which was enough to sense Xia Xuan''s strength.

    "Don''t talk about that. The Countess of Platinum is here. Where is the Countess of Platinum?" Xia Xuan did not pay attention to Count of Bloody Cloth''s compliments to him, he knew that the Count and Countess were not far from each other. Since the Count was here, the Countess would definitely be lying in ambush nearby, and most importantly, her strength was not inferior to the Count of Bloody Cloth at all.

    "Do you believe me when I say that she has other things to take care of?" The Count of Bloody Cloth smiled.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan snorted, then, the binocular turned and looked at a big tree nearby. With a wave of his hand, a needle flew out from the spiritual energy and shot toward the crown of the tree.

    Just as the flying needle was a few meters away from the tree, a spiritual energy barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the flying needle. Then, a small black shadow flew out from the tree trunk.

    When his gaze turned towards the black figure, he discovered that the black figure was actually a bat. However, the bat''s color was similar to that of the Count of Bloody Cloth.

    The blood colored bat quickly rushed to Count of Bloody Cloth''s side, and with a flash of blood light, it transformed into a graceful and beautiful figure, that figure also had a pair of blood colored wings, and the figure was so enchanting that even Miao Linger could not compare to.

    "Little brother is really rude, you scared me!" At the same time, her hands wrapped around Count of Bloody Cloth''s neck in a intimate manner, causing Miao Linger to blush.

    "You came for Origin Stones?" Xia Xuan frowned his eyebrows and asked, when he finished speaking, even he himself felt that it was nonsense.

    "Hand over the Origin Stones and we''ll let you off." Count of Bloody Cloth laughed sinisterly, he could sense that Xia Xuan''s cultivation was only at Sixth grade Profound King, with such strength, he did not believe that he was unable to handle it.

    "In your dreams." Xia Xuan let out a cold snort before pulling Miao Linger along. After transforming into a silver streak of lightning, they appeared in the distant horizon in a flash. Right now, Xia Xuan was not too far away from the Mule City, if he were to fight with the Countess, it would attract everyone else over, and at that time, Xia Xuan would not be able to run even if he wanted to.

    "What incredible speed." The Count was shocked by Xia Xuan''s speed. He exchanged a glance with the Countess and nodded. With a flap of his wings, he appeared in the distant horizon, directly chasing after Xia Xuan and Number Two.

    The speed of the blood light was extremely fast, but the speed of the silver lightning was obviously not as fast as the blood light. The speed of the two figures slowly decreased as they watched the blood light catch up to the silver lightning.

    "Kid, hand over the Origin Stones obediently and we won''t harm you." The platinum dactylodes chased closely after Xia Xuan, and the gingiva could not help but bite hard. Xia Xuan''s speed was fast enough, if not for the Blood Bat Bloodline, it would have been impossible for them to catch up with Xia Xuan.

    "Ling''er, hit them." Xia Xuan did not bother with the Marquis of Bloody Cloth''s words and shouted at Miao Linger. Right now, they were not far from Moumou Tong City, and only by entering the deepest part of Black Mist Mountains and Rivers could they relax and fight.

    "Yes." Miao Linger made a noise of acknowledgement, then, her jade-like hands congealed into a spiritual energy, as it transformed into a longsword. With a cold glint, she thrusted towards the Pai Jue couple while Miao Linger brandished her jade-like hand.

    Miao Linger''s strength had already reached the third level of Xuanzun when she was still in the Ancient Ruins. In this kind of situation, it could be said that the longsword had already appeared in front of the Count of Bloody Cloth in an instant.

    "Ding!" A metal clanging sound rang out, the Countess'' hand was wrapped around the spiritual energy, and the longsword was blocked. However, because of her hurried defense, the longsword''s strength was still as strong as before, and the spiritual energy cut her hand, causing blood to flow out.

    "Don''t underestimate your opponent." The Countess used the spiritual energy to cover the wound and said solemnly. Although Xia Xuan and Miao Linger in front of her were not as strong as the couple, the female Blood Bat had a hunch that the two of them could definitely threaten their lives.

    "Don''t worry, anyone who dares to hurt you will die." Count of Bloody Cloth responded, and then a burst of killing intent rushed out from his body. In Infernal domain, no one did not know that Count of Bloody Cloth was famous for being a berserker who protected his wife, and had injured the Countess before. Even though Count of Bloody Cloth''s cultivation was only at the fifth stage of Xuanzun, his strength had definitely reached the sixth stage of Xuanzun.

    A murderous aura that was so thick that it could almost materialize came out of Count of Bloody Cloth''s body. Its speed increased by several times and in an instant, it caught up to Xia Xuan.

    "Be careful." Miao Linger, who was being pulled by Xia Xuan, immediately transformed and discovered the Count of Bloody Cloth''s sudden increase in speed. She immediately laid on Xia Xuan''s back, wanting to help him block the attack.

    "You''re an idiot." In fact, Xia Xuan had already expected that Count of Bloody Cloth would have such speed, he had already prepared for it long ago when he erupted killing intent. It was just that he did not expect Miao Linger to want to block this attack for him.

    Without waiting for the Count of Bloody Cloth''s attack to fall, Xia Xuan suddenly turned around. Unknowingly, the flamethrower had already appeared in his hands, and the spiritual energy on the tip of his spear had already spiraled, thrusting towards the palm of Count of Bloody Cloth without any hesitation.

    Maybe it was because he was shocked by Ling''er''s actions, the flamethrower s tip did not manage to pierce into Count of Bloody Cloth''s palm, it only managed to block the attack with its body, but the terrifying impact still reached Xia Xuan''s body. Xia Xuan was unable to control his body, and he shot straight to the ground like a meteor.

    Chapter 179 - Disaster (1)

    BOOM! A huge sound echoed in the mountain and river as countless trees were knocked down by Xia Xuan. A long and horizontal gully was forcefully drawn.

    Two figures climbed out from the big tree. It was Xia Xuan and Miao Linger. The current Miao Linger did not have any injury, but this did not mean that the Count of Bloody Cloth''s attack did not have much power.

    Previously, when Xia Xuan had been struck by the Count of Bloody Cloth, Xia Xuan had used all his strength to protect him, causing him to not be injured at all.

    "Continue to flee. Now, let''s see how you will continue to flee." Not long after Xia Xuan and Yue Yang climbed back up, the Platinum-ranked couple floated up to the sky and looked at Xia Xuan with eyes full of playfulness.

    "Flee?" Do you still need it? " Xia Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as a burst of killing intent surged out from his body. Although he wanted to protect Miao Linger from getting injured, it was worth it to rejoice that they had finally reached the deepest part of Black Mist Mountains and Rivers.

    platinum dactylodes narrowed his eyes. There was only two possibilities for Xia Xuan to actually say such words at a time like this. First, Xia Xuan was stunned. Secondly, he had already planned this beforehand. Of course, platinum dactylodes would not think that Xia Xuan was stupid, then Xia Xuan had already planned this beforehand.

    "Swish!" A whistle sounded and a wave of spiritual energy charged into the sky. It seemed as if something was about to arrive in the distance.

    "Roar!" A furious roar sounded out, and then a black dot appeared at the edge of the horizon. That black dot was extremely fast, and in a short while, it approached Xia Xuan and the others.

    When the black shadow approached, platinum dactylodes saw clearly what the black dot was. It was a spirit beast with two wings on its head, shaped like a leopard, four claws like a phoenix.

    "This is ˇ­" Zheng! " The platinum dactylodes was truly worthy of being a blood bat bloodline. They quickly recognized the little Zheng, there were a few types of people that were naturally afraid of him in their blood bat bloodline, and Zheng was definitely the person they feared the most.

    The little Zheng who had contracted with Xia Xuan before now possessed the strength of a sixth stage Xuanzun. Adding to its aura which could suppress all living things, even an expert at the peak of sixth stage of Xuanzun would not be its match.

    "Kid, we will leave now. Please show mercy so we can meet again in Infernal domain in the future." The moment platinum dactylodes saw the little Zheng, he immediately thought of retreating, and cupped his hands towards Xia Xuan, and then pulled Madame Platinum along as he fled. platinum dactylodes did not believe that he had the strength to deal with a Zheng.

    Just as the platinum dactylodes turned around, the Little Zheng appeared on the road to escape. An enormous spiritual energy pressure surged out from its body, as if warning the Pai Jue couple that if they dared to escape, the Little Zheng would definitely chase after them.

    "platinum dactylodes, this is a hybrid between a blood bat and a Demon Dwellers. I wonder if you two belong to a Demon Dwellers? Or the orcs? " Xia Xuan looked at the Pai Jue couple who did not know what to do, and couldn''t help but reveal a playful smile. The identity of this hunter and his prey had been changed all of a sudden.

    "Brat, what are you trying to do?" Hearing what Xia Xuan said, the platinum dactylodes immediately became nervous, he knew that Xia Xuan would not say all these out of the blue, probably Xia Xuan had his eyes on something.

    "I guess you guys mainly use the blood bat bloodline, so there should be endosperm in all of your bodies, right?" Xia Xuan did not want to take it off anymore and immediately revealed his intentions. In order to help Little Zheng advance to the next stage, he had already used up all of the endosperm s that he had. Right now, he urgently needed endosperm s.

    "You, don''t go too far. Even if we can''t handle you, you didn''t take it just because you said you could. Be careful, you might have knocked your own teeth." The platinum dactylodes was immediately enraged when he heard what Xia Xuan had said. endosperm s were like hearts to spirit beast, without endosperm, the latter would definitely die.

    "Humph!" A mere fifth-grade Xuanzun is nothing in my eyes. " Xia Xuan snorted coldly, then her gaze turned to the little Zheng. She did not say anything, and only signaled the little Zheng with her eyes.

    "Roar!" The little Zheng who received Xia Xuan''s gaze immediately came to a realization and roared towards the sky. It was as if all the spiritual energy in the world were trembling under this roar, and even the spiritual energy in the Pai Jue couple''s bodies seemed to become sluggish.

 C180

    Chapter 180 - Disaster (2)

    "I''ll stall the Zheng. Go deal with those two brats and try to lure it out." platinum dactylodes was indeed worthy of being called a strong Ranker. At this time, he was actually the calmest, giving the command to Madame Platinum, then he turned and rushed towards the Little Zheng.

    platinum dactylodes firmly believed that they still had a chance of surviving. Although Little Zheng was extremely strong, Xia Xuan and Miao Linger''s cultivation was not high, and Xia Xuan was obviously Little Zheng''s master. As long as they could defeat Xia Xuan, then their chance of survival would be very high.

    Xia Xuan waved his hands helplessly, he knew that he had been underestimated once again. The illusion of a spiritual energy''s cultivation level always made the enemies feel that he was not that strong, but usually, these kinds of thoughts would make them short of their lives.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Xuan welcomed the that was mounted on the flamethrower.

    Madame Platinum did not dare to underestimate Xia Xuan anymore as a blood colored longsword appeared in his hands and he charged towards Xia Xuan.

    The terrifying spiritual energy rippled and spread out, the imposing aura of the two maintained a delicate balance. Xia Xuan was not in a hurry to defeat Madame Platinum, he wanted to stall for time, because it was impossible for platinum dactylodes to defeat the Little Zheng during that time.

    In the sky, Madame Platinum crazily used her longsword to attack Xia Xuan, but no matter what she did, Xia Xuan would use his flamethrower to block her attack.

    Madame Platinum clenched her teeth, and the gigantic spiritual energy started to gather frantically on top of the longsword, and then fiercely slashed at Xia Xuan. However, the sword seemed to have become a little crooked because of the huge force, Xia Xuan dodged it from the side, but the spiritual energy that was contained inside continued to ruthlessly rush towards the ground.

    "That''s not right." Just as he dodged the Madame Platinum''s attack, Xia Xuan saw a smile on the corner of his mouth from the corner of his eyes. That smile was as if he was telling Xia Xuan that she had succeeded with something.

    Xia Xuan stared blankly for a moment, but in that moment, Madame Platinum turned into a ray of blood colored light and arrived in front of the blood armored marshal. He did not know what platinum dactylodes had shattered, but a wave of powerful spiritual energy s burst out, and actually forced the little Zheng to retreat.

    By the time the little Zheng had stabilized his body, the Platinum couple had already disappeared.

    Xia Xuan looked at the direction the Platinum couple left in. brow could not help but frown, the attacks from the Madame Platinum was not for no reason.

    "Rumble." Just then, the ground suddenly shook, the ground that Madame Platinum had previously attacked suddenly rose up, there seemed to be something underground.

    "Not good." Without hesitating in the slightest, he activated the flash lightning. In an instant, he was already in front of Miao Linger, pulling Miao Linger along as he rushed towards the Little Zheng.

    Xia Xuan finally understood the intention of Madame Platinum''s attack. He never thought that there would be a spirit beast lurking underground that even Xia Xuan did not sense. It was likely that its strength was about to reach the Divine Beast level.

    There were only two ways to lure them out. The first was to take the initiative to attack it, and the second was to find a spirit beast with an extremely powerful bloodline that was weaker than it. This kind of spirit beast''s bloodline power was what they needed the most.

    Now both conditions seem to have been met.

    As a result, Xia Xuan used his full speed, and waited for the gigantic beast to crawl up, with Xia Xuan''s strength, he was afraid that he would not have the chance to escape.

    However, it was still too late for Xia Xuan. Just as he arrived beside the little Zheng, a huge mouth over ten thousand meters long flew over. Although the mouth was extremely huge, its speed was not slow at all.

 C181

    Chapter 181 - Power of Yin and Yang

    "Drip drip" The clear sound of water droplets sounded out. Following the clear-headedness of the water droplets, a sharp pain came over, and then, Xia Xuan suddenly woke up.

    "Ah ˇŞ ˇŞ" Completely awake, Xia Xuan immediately let out a loud cry, as he could no longer feel the existence of his left hand!

    Although it was the pain of losing an arm, he did not let out a scream for a long time before gritting his teeth and enduring it. When he looked around, he discovered that he was in a huge intestinal tract, and beside him was this stomach acid.

    With one hand covering his head, Xia Xuan vaguely remembered that when he was engulfed by the giant mouth, he had used all his power to protect Miao Linger and Little Zheng, which meant to say that Miao Linger and Little Zheng should be fine.

    As expected, they saw that Miao Linger and the Little Zheng were unconscious, however, they were fortunate that they were not corroded by the acid in their stomachs.

    "Yes." A light hmm sound came out. Miao Linger slowly opened her binocular, and as she struggled to stand up, she quickly looked around. When she found out her surroundings, she was extremely shocked, what kind of huge beast had devoured her?

    "Are you alright?" Xia Xuan came to Miao Linger''s side and extended his hand out to try to pull Miao Linger away.

    Miao Linger instinctively placed her hand in Xia Xuan''s hand, and was then pulled up by a gentle force.

    Miao Linger who was being pulled up wanted to say something, but when her eyes looked at Xia Xuan''s left arm that had disappeared, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, causing the binocular to stare wide.

    "It''s nothing, it''s just an arm. When I return to Stellar Martial Gate, Yan Shuang will help me reconnect it." Xia Xuan looked at Miao Linger''s astonished expression, she did not feel sad at all for losing an arm. With Yan Shuang''s godly strength, restoring an ordinary person''s arm was practically an easy task.

    Even if there was no Flames Frost, as long as he reached Mysterious Sect, he would be able to repair his own arm, so there was no need for him to feel heartbroken over an arm.

    Miao Linger withdrew her shocked expression, but kept her head lowered and did not speak. Xia Xuan actually had the ability to avoid the pain in her stomach, but it was only to protect her that she paid the price of an arm. How could she not feel guilty?

    Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile and shake his head when he saw the little Zheng who had lowered his head. Then, he walked straight to the little Zheng''s side and placed one hand on the little Zheng''s body.

    "Am I useless?" Miao Linger stood beside Xia Xuan, and looked at him. Both his small hands were clenched, and he looked a little guilty.

    Xia Xuan did not reply, and silently transferred the spiritual energy into the little Zheng''s body. The awakened little Zheng happily surrounded Xia Xuan and bounced around him. However, when it realized that Xia Xuan had lost his left arm, it immediately stood beside Xia Xuan and licked the place where his arm was cut off, looking very cute.

    After being licked by the little Zheng, Xia Xuan stood up and looked towards Miao Linger. A smile hung on his face, and he rubbed Miao Linger''s head and said: "Who said it''s useless, if you want to escape, you have to do so."

    Miao Linger was suspicious, what ability did she have to be able to go out? She didn''t even know it.

    Xia Xuan did not say much, he only used the spiritual energy to wrap his body, and floated towards the depths of his intestines.

    Miao Linger looked at Xia Xuan who was floating far away, and the doubt in his heart became even more intense. However, if Xia Xuan didn''t say anything, she wouldn''t have asked him.

    Those who possess this kind of physique are naturally born with the ability to control the power of yin and yang, their dantian s are also different from normal people, the spiritual energy they absorb are all of the yin and yang attribute, those with this physique cultivate slower compared to normal people, but they are much stronger compared to those at the same level.

    Therefore, once a person with yin and yang constitution was discovered, they would inevitably become the target of contention among the various sects.

    The first time Xia Xuan saw Miao Linger, he knew that her physique was one of Yin Yang, thus Xia Xuan would request Suo Balang to let him cultivate together with her.

    "Squeak." When the gastric acid dripped on his body, the sound of the spiritual energy being corroded could be heard. However, every time a part of the spiritual energy surrounding his body was corroded, another spiritual energy would be added.

    If the strength of this spirit beast was converted into the Homo sapiens''s level, then its strength would probably have already reached the Profound Master level. This kind of strength was something even the soul of the Deicide could do, after all, the soul of the Deicide was only a remnant soul, no matter how strong the Deicide was in his previous life, he would never be able to be without a Profound Master level spirit beast as an enemy.

    After floating in his intestines for an unknown period of time, and using the spiritual energy s to replenish the spiritual energy s that were wrapping around him countless times, Miao Linger had a feeling that he was nearing the location of the gigantic beast but the dantian s.

    "What are we doing here?" Miao Linger looked around vigilantly. spirit beast s were not so easy to get, because dantian s were the most precious places to be found, and this place was even more important than the heart. This was because spirit beast s were stored inside the dantian, so there should be layers of protection for dantian s.

    "Didn''t you notice that there''s no stomach acid here?" Xia Xuan said.

    Only now did Miao Linger realize that the closer she was to the dantian, the less acid she had in her stomach.

    Since dantian s were the most precious location for spirit beast, then their stomachs were naturally the least. The closer they were to this place, the more time they would have to think of a way to leave.

    "But we won''t be able to get out here." Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Miao Linger became even more suspicious. Wouldn''t it be even harder to leave the dantian area? Isn''t this equivalent to going to a dead end?

    "Do you know what effect the fusion of Yin and Yang has?" Xia Xuan did not directly answer Miao Linger''s question, but instead asked mysteriously.

    "What''s the effect?" Miao Linger asked suspiciously, even though she had a Yin Yang body, she had never used any of the Yin Yang energies before, and up till now, her ability to use the force of the Yin Yang was still similar to a baby''s.

    "At the beginning of the six paths, it was chaos. Chaos divided into Yin and Yang, then Yin and Yang re-formed into four images, and gradually, it turned into all things again. It can be said that Yin and Yang became the beginning of all things, and the combination of Yin and Yang can split all things apart." Xia Xuan slowly said, causing Miao Linger to be shocked.

    Although Miao Linger had heard Yan Yanshuang say that the Yin Yang Body was very powerful, she did not expect it to be terrifying to such an extent. No wonder all the sects would fight over the Yin Yang Body.

    "We''re here." Not long after, Xia Xuan spoke softly, only to see that a spiritual energy light wall had appeared in front of him. The spiritual energy was originally transparent, but the spiritual energy light wall that was formed from it was so thick that one could not see what was behind the wall.

    "Let''s begin, we''ll separate this place out." Xia Xuan did not look at the spiritual energy light wall, as he had spent a large amount of time in his surroundings. In the end, he had patted a piece of the meat wall and said what caused Miao Linger and the little Zheng to be greatly shocked.

 C182

    Chapter 182 - The Way Out

    "What did you say!" Miao Linger said in shock. Regardless of whether Miao Linger was able to nimbly use the power of yin and yang, just the hardness of the wall itself was not something that could be decomposed easily. Most likely, before she could even decompose a path, she would have fainted because of the exhaustion of the spiritual energy.

    "If you want to live, then quickly decompose it. The acid in your stomach will spread over time. If this goes on any longer, you will die here." Xia Xuan did not bother about Miao Linger, as he replied lazily. After that, he laid down in a corner and fell into a deep sleep.

    Looking at the soundly asleep Xia Xuan, Miao Linger was speechless. She really didn''t want to help at all?

    After cursing at Xia Xuan countless times in his heart, Miao Linger finally shifted his gaze to the place where Xia Xuan had pointed to. Compared to other places, the toughness of this piece of meat was actually much stronger, as if this piece of meat was dead meat. So it turns out that Xia Xuan didn''t pick this place out of nowhere.

    There would always be a piece of dead meat in any living creature''s body, so this piece of meat was useless. Even if the meat was cut off, the master wouldn''t feel anything.

    Miao Linger took a deep breath, and spiritual energy s surged out from her hands. However, her spiritual energy s were different from normal people''s, because normal people''s spiritual energy were usually of the same color. However, Miao Linger''s spiritual energy s were white on the left, white on the right, and black on the right.

    The spiritual energy did not immediately rush towards the wall of flesh after gushing out from Miao Linger''s body. Instead, it fused together and turned into a chaotic color after a short while.

    Merely mixing together the yin and yang energy, Miao Linger was already a man with a head full of men. For someone like her who had never trained in the way of yin and yang energy, fusing the two energies together and maintaining this form was truly hard work.

    Just as the Yin Yang energies fused together, they surged towards that piece of dead meat.

    Yin and Yang was worthy of being called the beginning of all things. Just after coming into contact with it, the dead meat disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, because it was a dead meat, the huge beast did not notice anything.

    After the light wall, he had a very strong spirit beast. If it wasn''t for the fact that he did not have that kind of strength, Xia Xuan would have thought of every possible means to get that endosperm. The Profound Master level of the endosperm would definitely be able to help the little Zheng successfully advance to the next level.

    Xia Xuan squatted beside the light wall, and looked at the light wall that was as thick as a solid body. Xia Xuan could not help but frown, he indeed had a way to pass through the restrictions, but with Xia Xuan''s current strength, he could not pass through very far, and using such a dense defense of the spiritual energy, it was impossible to pass through. Furthermore, even if he did pass through, he did not dare to guarantee that there would not be any other defenses behind the light wall.

    "Forget it." Xia Xuan shook his head helplessly. Although endosperm s were good, they were too risky.

    Her gaze turned towards Miao Linger. Miao Linger was already a man with a head full of men, it was as if she had been immersed in water before. Wet clothes stuck to Miao Linger''s jade body, allowing her to see her alluring body.

    Seeing Miao Linger like this, Xia Xuan''s face couldn''t help but turn red. Although Xia Xuan''s mind was already tens of thousands of years old, he was still a teenager after all.

    "If you''re tired, just say it." Xia Xuan came to Miao Linger''s side and said gently. Following that, the spiritual energy gushed out from his body, and those spiritual energy were also black and white.

    Even though Xia Xuan was still a mere mortal, his control over spiritual energy s were far superior to ordinary people. It was still possible for him to extract some Yin Yang energy from the heavens and earth.

    "Go take a rest, the amount of work you''ll have to do will increase." Xia Xuan slowly transmitted the Yin Yang Energy to the dead meat, indicating for Miao Linger to rest first.

    In the next period of time, Miao Linger kept on resting, and when she realised that her clothes were drenched in sweat, her small and exquisite face immediately became as red as an apple, no wonder Xia Xuan allowed her to rest, she could not watch any longer.

    After using the spiritual energy to dry his clothes, Miao Linger quickly entered into a state of cultivation. The next step was indeed to go all out, because the stomach acid would slowly soak the entire intestines, and if they were still not able to create a channel by then, they would be corroded by the stomach acid.

    Xia Xuan''s speed was obviously slower than Miao Linger''s. Seeing the speed at which it broke down like a tortoise crawling around, Xia Xuan could not help but feel anxious, his gaze turning to Miao Linger from time to time. When he saw that Miao Ling''er was still in a state of cultivation, he had no choice but to continue channeling his Yin Yang energy.

    "Roar!" Just at this moment, the little Zheng who was observing the movement of his stomach suddenly roared out, when Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the little Zheng''s direction, he could not help but stare at the binocular. The acid in his stomach was rising at a visible rate and was about to spread over his body.

    "Ling''er, are you ready?" Xia Xuan could no longer wait and shouted to Miao Linger who was still in cultivation.

    "Alright." In the end, Miao Linger left her cultivation state, and when she opened her binocular, a ray of light shot out.

    The moment he exited his cultivation state, Miao Linger immediately went over to Xia Xuan''s side and an enormous black and white spiritual energy suddenly surged out of his body. With the previous experience, Miao Linger''s speed increased sharply.

    With Miao Linger as his substitute, Xia Xuan immediately put away the spiritual energy, but it was not that he wanted to rest, but to come to the crazily rushing stomach. He needed to buy time for Miao Linger, otherwise, before Miao Linger could cut a path, he would be corroded by the stomach acid.

    Even though Xia Xuan had previously used up a large amount of spiritual energy, he still released them and the spiritual energy turned into a light wall in front of him.

    The light wall made squeaking sounds under the summer''s corrosion of the gastric acid, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was corroding.

    This stomach acid was indeed worthy of being at the Profound Master level. Even though Xia Xuan''s use of spiritual energy was far superior to that of a normal person, but under the corrosion of the stomach acid, it still felt a little weak.

    Roar ~ ~ A roar sounded out and then a huge wave of spiritual energy surged over. The little Zheng came to Xia Xuan''s side and saw that the spiritual energy was coming out from its body.

    "Little Zheng, thank you." Xia Xuan looked at the little Zheng who was in time to support him, and forced out a smile on his face, his palm stroking the little Zheng''s head.

    After thanking Little Zheng, Xia Xuan turned back to look at Miao Linger. At this time, Miao Linger was frantically gushing spiritual energy out of the dead meat, and her control of yin and yang energy was obviously faster than before. A one meter long tunnel had already been opened.

    With regards to Miao Linger''s speed, Xia Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he recovered his senses and sat cross-legged on the ground, entering into a state of cultivation. This was a war of attrition, whoever could hold on would win.

 C183

    Chapter 183 - Escape from Life

    After making up his mind to go all out, the five hundred meridian started to revolve immediately, causing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to immediately gush towards him crazily. The spiritual energy above his head transformed into a whirlpool of spiritual energy, and continuously entered his body, replenishing Xia Xuan''s empty body.

    It had to be said that the rate at which the five hundred meridian absorbed was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, most of the spiritual energy in her body had recovered.

    "Little Zheng, go rest." Xia Xuan did not recover to his best condition. It was not that he did not want to, but the little Zheng was about to collapse. Although the little Zheng was a powerful spirit beast, he was after all, a spirit beast, and his age was not too old either. He did not have very good control over the spiritual energy, even though his cultivation was already the equivalent of a Xuanzun rank expert, he could not hold on for long.

    Xia Xuan came to the little Zheng''s side. The spiritual energy frantically rushed out from within, immediately replenishing the thin layer of the spiritual energy light wall to an extremely dense degree.

    Roar! The small Zheng who was already exhausted let out a soft roar at Xia Xuan, and then walked towards Miao Linger. Although the little Zheng no longer had the strength to resist the acid in his stomach, this did not mean that it could not help.

    The Little Zheng slowly walked to Miao Linger''s side and actually opened its mouth wide, wanting to bite off a large chunk of dead meat. The giant beast wanted to absorb the Zheng''s bloodline power, and the little Zheng could also devour the giant beast. Since this was a war of attrition, he could not waste any available resources.

    "Why didn''t I think of that?" When Xia Xuan saw the little Zheng eating the meat, he immediately thought that he still had flamethrower s, and without waiting for Xia Xuan''s command, the flamethrower s had already turned into Small Flood Dragon s. In a flash, they arrived beside the Little Zheng and started to eat the meat together with the little Zheng.

    With the help of the little Zheng and the flamethrower, Miao Linger''s speed of breaking through the passage became faster and faster, and in a short moment, a passage that was tens of metres long was broken through. Looking at the passage, although Miao Linger''s lips were already slightly pale, her face revealed a happy smile, if things were to continue like this, it was very likely that they would be able to escape.

    Just as Miao Linger was preparing to use more strength, a hand suddenly rested on Miao Linger''s shoulder. Miao Linger turned to look and realized that the person who was slapping him was Xia Xuan.

    "Take a break." Xia Xuan said simply, but his gaze was still fixated on the dead meat.

    "Shouldn''t a lot of people do it in one go?" Miao Linger was also muddled by Xia Xuan''s words. Seeing that they were not far from the finish line, shouldn''t they do it in one go?

    "If you keep going on like this, then you won''t be a dead meat anymore. You should rest for a while and adjust your condition to its best. Later, you will need to break down a tunnel within three minutes." Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards Miao Linger, answering his doubts.

    The dead meat was only a part of the spirit beast''s body, once it broke through the dead meat and disintegrated into the living flesh outside, the gigantic beast would definitely sense that if it was not able to disintegrate a channel quickly, they would probably be immediately killed by the gigantic beast. Even if it was the life forms in its body, Profound Master ranked spirit beast s would have more than a thousand ways to kill it.

    "Yes." Understanding Xia Xuan''s intention, Miao Linger lightly nodded, then directly sat down cross-legged and entered into a state of cultivation.

    "Don''t be idle either, you guys are just as weak as I am." Seeing Miao Linger enter a state of cultivation, Xia Xuan turned his gaze towards the Zheng and the flamethrower. At that moment, both the little Zheng and the flamethrower had full stomachs, believing that their bodies already contained a huge amount of power, believing that this power would be enough to resist the acid in their stomachs for a while.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the little Zheng and the flamethrower immediately went to the front of the gastric juice. At this time, the gastric acid had already reached the outside of the passage and sealed the passage, so the spiritual energy light wall that was left behind by Xia Xuan could still block the passage for a while.

    Although the same mountain did not allow for two tigers, the Little Zheng and the flamethrower were exceptionally united this time. The two beasts looked at each other, and then the huge spiritual energy rushed out from the two beasts'' bodies, maintaining the spiritual energy light wall.

    Time passed quickly, Miao Linger had already adjusted his condition to its peak, the same little Zheng and flamethrower had already used up all their energy and went to eat the meat.

    "Roar!" The little Zheng suddenly roared out, attracting both Xia Xuan''s and Miao Linger''s attention, only to see that all the dead meat had been eaten, the living flesh with the jumping meridian was revealed, and fresh blood could still be seen flowing within the meridian.

    Xia Xuan and Miao Linger looked at each other, both of them nodding their heads, the following three minutes would be an incomparably dangerous three minutes.

    Miao Linger did not immediately begin to decompose, but instead continued to merge with the spiritual energy. An enormous orb of chaotic light was soon condensed into a ball.

    After condensing the Primal Chaos light ball, Miao Linger lifted it with much difficulty. It was already extremely difficult for it to stabilize the energy of the yin and yang.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan arrived beside Miao Linger, and with a wave of his hand, the orb of chaotic light turned into a pike. Although Xia Xuan could only extract a small amount of Yin Yang energy from the air, he could still make control over his Yin Yang energy.

    Upon receiving the power of the Yin Yang, Xia Xuan''s eyes immediately shone with a vicious light. He waved his hand again, and with a whoosh, the primal chaos lance pierced towards the wall of flesh.

    Roar ~ ~ A loud roar sounded from the deepest part of Black Mist Mountains and Rivers, causing all the spirit beast in the entire mountain range to tremble in fear.

    The spear was being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a passageway was being broken down at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xia Xuan also heard the roars of the huge beasts, but he did not move an inch as he continued to pierce the wall of flesh with all his might.

    "Ling''er." The pike could not hold on for more than three minutes. When half of the pike was used up, Xia Xuan fiercely roared, and then an unending stream of yin and yang energy surged towards the pike.

    Roar ~ ~ A roar suddenly sounded, the little Zheng who was resisting the stomach acid was clenching its teeth, although the little Zheng''s spiritual energy had almost recovered after swallowing all the dead meat, it was not only resisting the stomach acid, there were occasional clashing sounds, and it was believed that the giant beasts were intercepting them.

    "Work harder." Xia Xuan glanced at the little Zheng who was having a hard time resisting and immediately roared. Then, the spear started to break down the pathway even more desperately.

    "Bang!" A loud sound rang out. If one were to listen carefully, they would have discovered that there were two simultaneous sounds. The Zheng''s defense had finally been broken through, but fortunately, the passageway had been completely broken through.

    After opening up the passage, Xia Xuan immediately pulled the Zheng and Miao Linger, with a flash, he transformed into a silver ray of light and rushed out of the passage.

    , who was being pulled by Xia Xuan, looked down and saw a gigantic beast the size of a mountain crawling on the ground. From inside the tunnel, a spiritual energy rushed out with a stomach ache, if they were even a moment too late, they would have been destroyed by the spiritual energy.

    The moment he escaped, Xia Xuan''s speed did not decrease, but instead increased.

    The gigantic beast that was crawling on the ground did not chase after Xia Xuan. The position of Xia Xuan opening up the path was really too tricky.

    Looking at the figure of the shadow gradually disappearing into the horizon, the huge beast couldn''t help but squint its huge eyes. It had already remembered this Teenage.

    Chapter 184 - Black Crows

    A ray of light flew across the sky; it was Xia Xuan, Miao Linger and the little Zheng.

    Xia Xuan, who had escaped the belly of the huge beast, was obviously very happy. On the way there, his face was full of smiles.

    "Where are we going?" Miao Linger suddenly asked. All along the way, Xia Xuan was flying in one direction.

    "To the Black Raven Mountain." Xia Xuan smiled, and then, Miao Linger''s hands struggled.

    "Are you crazy? Do you know what kind of place the Black Raven Mountain is? It''s the territory of the organizations of the Black Crows. Miao Linger roared at Xia Xuan.

    In the history of the Hundred Wastelands, there were many powerful small organizations. None of those small organizations were not famous experts, but no matter how strong they were, they were weaker than one organization, called Black Crows.

    The Black Crows was the strongest organization that had ever appeared in the history of the Hundred Wastelands. There were less than ten people in this organisation, but all of them were experts that ruled over a region. When the people of the Black Crows were united, even half-step Mysterious Sect experts would not be a match for them. And this organization once occupied a mountain, their name was Black Raven Mountain.

    Although the organizations of the Black Crows had been quiet for a long time, even Miao Linger, the person who came from the Cold City, had heard of her reputation.

    "Don''t worry, I guarantee you will survive." Xia Xuan smiled slightly, then pulled the Miao Linger who had a face full of unwillingness, and flew off into the distance.

    It was not because of how dangerous the terrain of the mountain was, nor was it because of any strong spirit beast s. It was only because this place was the territory of an organization, and although that organization only had less than ten people, it was a powerful organization that could rival a super sect. When the people of Infernal domain heard the name of this organization, they could not help but shiver.

    Black Raven Mountain was completely silent. There were no spirit beast here, and it was said that there was often a person from a Black Crows who was guarding this place, to the point that there were no spirit beast in the mountain.

    The quiet mountain was so quiet that even the sound of falling leaves could be clearly heard, but this silence was not eternal. The sound of rushing wind rang out, and a black dot appeared in the distant horizon.

    The ones who came were none other than Xia Xuan, Miao Linger and Little Zheng.

    Arriving above the Black Raven Mountain, Xia Xuan didn''t rush to enter it, but floated above it, and calmly looked at it, as though he was waiting for someone.

    "Xiu!" Not long after, a sound of wind could be heard, and a voice suddenly came out from the Black Raven Mountain that had been silent for many years, followed by a black figure flying out of the forest swiftly. That figure''s speed was so fast that even Miao Linger was unable to react to it.

    The black figure was obviously headed towards Xia Xuan, and in a flash, it arrived beside Xia Xuan. One could vaguely see a broken blade in the black figure''s hands emitting a cold light, aimed straight at Xia Xuan.

    Seeing the black figure, Miao Linger immediately stared at the big binocular and covered his mouth with one hand, not knowing what to do. In comparison, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile.

    Xia Xuan raised his hand slightly, and in a flash of light, the flamethrower appeared in his hand. Without any hesitation, the flamethrower turned around and pierced towards the black shadow.

    "Ding." A clear sound of metal striking metal rang out. The flamethrower and the short blade just happened to collide, and with just that one collision, a ring of spiritual energy ripples spread out.

    The two weapons had just collided with each other when they separated, and with the speed of lightning, they clashed again. Miao Linger, who was at the side, could only see the flash of a blade, then the burst of sparks.

    In just a few seconds, Xia Xuan and the black-clothed figure had fought back and forth more than a thousand times. In the end, when the two people fiercely clashed, they opened up a distance, but when their eyes did not meet, Xia Xuan retracted his flamethrower and walked towards the black figure with a face full of smiles.

    It was a man dressed entirely in black, and his figure was skinnier than Xia Xuan. The man had black clothes and black pants, black hair, and even his face was covered by a black veil. It was as if he was the shadow of a dark night, completely black in colour.

    "What happened to your hand?" the black clothed man asked as soon as he noticed Xia Xuan''s broken left arm.

    "I was swallowed by a Profound Master spirit beast. It''s nothing, just let Shuang''er help me pick it up in the future." As he said that, Xia Xuan had already arrived in front of the black clothed man.

    Seeing the Xia Xuan in front of him who still had a smile on his face, the black clothed man immediately gave Xia Xuan a bear hug, causing him to be unable to breathe.

    "Black Kylin, you actually didn''t die." Seeing the black clothed man, Miao Linger exclaimed after thinking for a while. The members of the Black Crows were all famous and famous in the Hundred Desolations, and it was said that the people of the Black Crows were fixed, and there were no changes whatsoever. No matter who it was, they had already lived for close to ten thousand years.

    Back then, when Miao Linger told the story of the organization that was organized by the Black Crows, Miao Linger did not believe that anyone could live that long. After all, there were very few things that could extend one''s life, and the life energy that Xia Xuan received from the feast of the Taotie was actually not able to extend one''s life too much.

    Therefore, when Miao Linger saw the Black Qilin, she was very surprised. She did not expect that there was really someone who could live for close to ten thousand years. Of course, what Miao Linger did not know was that Xia Xuan had split the divine essence with them before, so the people from the organization that the Black Crows was organizing could live for ten thousand years.

    "This is?" The Black Qilin had long paid attention to Miao Linger, but because she was travelling with Xia Xuan, it did not intentionally attack her. Now that Miao Linger had spoken, the Black Qilin naturally wanted to ask about his identity.

    "His name is Miao Linger, and he is the daughter of the Cold City''s eighth son, Miao Linger." Xia Xuan introduced to the Black Qilin.

    "Oh? Big bro really brought her here? Could it be that she''s serious?" When the Black Qilin heard about Miao Linger''s identity, it immediately winked at Xia Xuan. Although the Black Qilin''s face was covered by the black veil, Miao Linger could still see a smile on its face.

    "What are you talking about?" Regarding the Black Qilin''s attitude, Miao Linger was very suspicious. From the way he spoke, he could tell that Xia Xuan seemed to have wanted to bring her to the Black Raven Mountain a long time ago.

    "Nothing." Xia Xuan replied in a perfunctory manner, then turned his gaze to the distance and said: "Those fellows are here too."

    Following Xia Xuan''s gaze, Miao Linger and the Black Qilin also turned to look at the distant horizon. Even though there was nothing there, Miao Linger could feel a powerful aura emanating from it, as if some ancient beast was approaching.

 C185

    Chapter 185 - Convergence

    From the distant horizon, two figures slowly flew over, their speed was extremely fast, in a few breaths, they were close to the Black Raven Mountain.

    When Miao Linger saw the two figures clearly, she couldn''t help but cover her mouth. Miao Linger recognized both of them, they were and Gongsun Mei from the Boulder''s Gate. These two people were actually members of the Black Crows.

    Among the organizations in Black Crows, only the identity of the Black Qilin was known by everyone, while the others were extremely mysterious. Everyone had only given each one a nickname based on their characteristics, but no one knew of their true identity other than the Black Qilin.

    In the past, Miao Linger could sense the strength of Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei, but now, she was completely unable to see through their true cultivation levels. It was likely that these two people would normally hide their cultivation levels in front of people.

    Looking at Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei, Miao Linger couldn''t help but crease her eyebrows. Although Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei had already arrived at the Black Raven Mountain, they could still sense a strong aura from the distant horizon. The aura didn''t originate from Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei, but from a distance away, there was something approaching.

    "Big brother, what happened to your hand?" Hu Zhentian immediately noticed Xia Xuan''s broken left arm, causing the binocular to stare at him with wide eyes. Back then, when Xia Xuan left Mule Tong City, he was completely unharmed, but why was it that in just a few days, his entire left arm disappeared?

    "Black Mist Mountains and Rivers has a Profound Master level spirit beast that was accidentally swallowed by it. It''s not a big deal, just let Shuang''er help me reconnect it in the future." Xia Xuan smiled slightly, speaking very easily, but after hearing what he said, Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei both frowned.

    It had been thousands of years since the establishment of the Black Crows. In these thousands of years, Xia Xuan had reincarnated a few times, and every time he reincarnated, he would come to the Hundred Desolate Land to develop the strength of the Black Crows.

    And since the establishment of the Black Crows, Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei, who traveled together with Xia Xuan for generations, knew Xia Xuan''s temperament. Xia Xuan would never let Yan Shuang help him take over, he would definitely use his own strength to help him. However, right now, Xia Xuan''s strength was only at the Mystical King s level. This was also why the Black Qilin had hugged Xia Xuan tightly previously.

    Xia Xuan would not have a left hand for a very long period of time in the future.

    "Don''t be depressed, it''s not like it''s a big deal." Xia Xuan consoled Hu Zhentian and Gongsun Mei''s depressed expressions.

    "Rumble ˇ­" Right at this moment, a rumbling sound could be heard, and from the distant horizon, thick black clouds quickly gushed over. In the dark clouds, there were still thunder snake rolling about, and before the dark clouds reached, the terrifying pressure of a spiritual energy could be felt.

    What came out of the thundercloud was not the Homo sapiens, nor was it the Demon Dwellers. Instead, it was a fierce tiger with a pair of wings on its back, the fur on its entire body turning a silver thunder color, its long fangs seemed very ferocious. Just walking out of the thundercloud would cause Miao Linger to be stunned by the imposing aura of the tiger.

    "thundercloud Tiger ˇ­" Miao Linger was already shocked when she looked at the fierce tiger, and could not help but mutter.

    In Beast Kingdom, there were three kinds of spirit beast that were the most powerful. They were the dragon race, phoenix race and tiger race. Although the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan were a little weaker compared to the other two races, the Tiger Clan was after all one of the three great clans of the Beast Kingdom.

    It was said that a strong god had fallen in the ancient times, but that god''s power did not disappear just like that. Instead, it transformed into a white tiger with two wings on its back, which people called the thundercloud Tiger.

    Although they were tigers, there were many dragons and phoenixes that could not compare to them. Furthermore, in this Hundred Desolate Lands, there were very few thundercloud tigers that appeared, the only one known as a thundercloud tiger was the Sect Leader from the strongest sect of the Beast Domain, the thundercloud s.

    "Has this little one not arrived yet?" After walking out of the thundercloud, the thundercloud looked at the people on the field and asked after lightly counting the number of people.

    "You''re thinking of me so quickly?" Without waiting for others to reply, a laugh sounded out, after that, everyone''s gaze turned to not far away, only to see that Zhou Zhileng had arrived without them knowing, Zhou Zhileng looked more spirited than before, maybe because after breaking the Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder array, he had put down his worries.

    Looking at Zhou Zhileng, everyone became silent. A hundred years ago, Xia Xuan had died in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Stealing Formation, so the Zhou Zhileng who blamed himself for his death was living in seclusion alone in the human realm. For the past hundred years, he seemed to have purposely hidden away from everyone, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn''t get any news of him.

    "What are you guys doing? It''s rare for us to gather together, so don''t make the atmosphere so tense. Why don''t we go to the stronghold and chat?" Xia Xuan spoke out first to break the silence, and then he pulled everyone towards the mountain one by one.

    Xia Xuan pulled on everyone and when he arrived in front of the thundercloud Tiger, the thundercloud Tiger''s body shone with a bright light before transforming into a humanoid shape. It was a man that was eight feet tall and had bulging muscles.

    The man had a fierce look on his face, but this did not make Xia Xuan stop smiling. This Teenage seemed to be smiling all the time, and it was precisely because such a lousy genius was willing to chase after him.

    "The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plunder is broken, right?" Heaven Breaker said. Although he normally stayed in the distant Beast Domain, this did not mean that he was out of information, as he knew that Zhou Zhileng had appeared in the Ancient Era''s Remnants just to break the Heaven and Earth Spirit Plunder. And now, seeing Xia Xuan, he guessed that Xia Xuan was the one who broke through the formation with Zhou Zhileng.

    "Yes, I didn''t let us down." Xia Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze could not help but turn to look at Zhou Zhileng. From the start, Xia Xuan had never doubted him, he had firmly believed that Zhou Zhileng would definitely break the Heaven Seizing Spiritual Array, if not the next time, until he succeeded, when the Heaven Seizing Spiritual Array was broken, Xia Xuan was happy for Zhou Zhileng from the bottom of his heart.

    Sensing Xia Xuan''s gaze, Zhou Zhileng couldn''t help but laugh idiotically for a bit before chasing after Hu Zhentian, Gongsun Mei and the Black Qilin, playing around with the three of them in an instant.

    "Let''s go," Xia Xuan smiled slightly, and then, with a wave of his hand, he brought Heaven Breaker as he and the little Zheng flew towards the Black Raven Mountain.

    Chapter 186 - Three Hits

    There was a road paved with stones, which was particularly striking in a large lotus pond. It was currently in the middle of summer, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were blooming to the point where they were alluring and glistening, and the lotus leaves were occasionally swaying with the breeze. Through the gaps between the lotus leaves, one could see a fish.

    Walking in the fairy-like stronghold, Xia Xuan''s mood could not help but feel great. This stronghold was still the same as in his previous life, always being tidied up so well.

    Xia Xuan and the rest arrived at the main hall at the center of the village. There were no decorations in the hall, only six chairs, and the people of Black Crows and Xia Xuan had all found chairs and sat down. What made everyone embarrassed was that Miao Linger did not have a place to sit, and Xiao Zheng could sit beside Xia Xuan on the ground, but she could not do so.

    With no other choice, Miao Linger could only stand in the middle of the great hall and look at the six people around him with an awkward expression.

    "May I know if Miss is Suo Jia Miao Linger?" Heaven Breaker was the first to speak. Although Heaven Breaker was an Orc, he was not a brawny, simple-minded person. Since Xia Xuan had brought Miao Linger here, it showed Miao Linger''s true identity.

    "Greetings Senior Heaven Breaker, this one is Miao Linger." Miao Linger treated Heaven Breaker with great respect. Compared to the human realm, the Beast Domain was much stronger, and this Heaven Breaker was even the Sect Leader of the strongest sect in Beast Kingdom, the thundercloud Sect.

    "Do you know why my elder brother brought you here?" A smile suddenly appeared on Heaven Breaker''s face. Compared to his original ferocious face, this smiling face looked very strange.

    "Why?" Miao Linger looked at Heaven Breaker''s smiling face and couldn''t help but shrink back. For some reason, she had a bad premonition.

    "Our Black Crows has an Acacia Formation, and we need a woman with a yin and yang body. Why do you think that?" Heaven Breaker said in an indifferent tone, startling Miao Linger.

    Hearing what Heaven Breaker said, Miao Linger immediately turned to look at Xia Xuan, with a questioning look in his eyes.

    Seeing Miao Linger''s reaction, everyone could not help but laugh out loud, even Xia Xuan started to laugh out loud.

    "Heaven Breaker is just teasing you." Xia Xuan stopped laughing and spoke to Miao Linger helplessly. After all, she was still a child, her thoughts were too simple.

    "You all ˇ­" Miao Linger was so angry that her face was flushed red, but she did not know what to do.

    "Alright, let''s be serious." Xia Xuan uttered in a timely manner, suppressing the laughter of everyone. After that, his face became solemn as he said in a serious voice, "Ling''er, are you willing to join the Black Crows?"

    Miao Linger stared blankly, she couldn''t believe her ears. Just now, Xia Xuan was inviting her to join the Black Crows, an organization that made the entire Hundred Barbarians feel fear. Was she, a mere third grade Xuanzun, really qualified to join the Black Crows?

    "What is it? "You don''t want to?" Xia Xuan looked at Miao Linger''s shocked face and laughed.

    "I''m willing, of course I''m willing." Miao Linger was happy that she was invited to join Black Crows, but how could she not be willing?

    "Hmph. It''s useless if you''re willing. It still depends on whether you have the strength or not." Heaven Breaker suddenly said, "You have to take at least three of my strikes."

    "Senior Heaven Breaker, you can''t be joking with me, right?" Miao Linger probed, who was Heaven Breaker? The current him was most likely a seventh rank Xuan Lord expert, or even higher. With three moves from such a strong person, even if she didn''t die, she would at least become crippled.

    "This is not a joke. I''m serious." Heaven Breaker no longer had a smile on his face. That serious expression made Miao Linger feel weak in her heart.

    Miao Linger''s gaze turned towards Xia Xuan, as if she wanted to see what Xia Xuan had to say.

    When Xia Xuan saw Miao Linger''s gaze turning towards him, he only shrugged and did not say anything. However, there was no smile on her face, as if Heaven Breaker was serious.

    "Forget it, I don''t believe that senior can kill me." Miao Linger took a deep breath, then assumed a defensive stance. After all, she was only able to defend against three moves from Heaven Breaker, she did not believe that she would not be able to take them.

    "Don''t you dare take any chances." Heaven Breaker said in a serious tone. After that, he waved his hand and a spiritual energy rushed towards Miao Linger.

    Miao Linger never thought that Heaven Breaker would be so strong. Even though she had already prepared herself for defense, when Heaven Breaker casually struck her with his attack, she was still sent flying.

    When one reached the Xuanzun level, every single rank was worlds apart. For a third rank Xuanzun like Miao Linger, she could at most only become an ordinary Sect Leader of a second rank sect. However, Heaven Breaker could become a Sect Leader of the strongest sect in the Beast Domain.

    Although it was just a casual blow, Miao Linger was still sent flying a few meters. When she stabilized his body, the blood in his body surged, and her face became deathly pale.

    "This is my first move. I can only use 30% of my strength. I won''t hold back anymore." Heaven Breaker looked at Miao Linger''s pale face. She did not have any intention of showing mercy because Miao Linger had been injured, but instead wanted to increase her attack.

    When Miao Linger heard Heaven Breaker''s words, she immediately mustered up all of her energy. All of the luck in her heart was gone, now she did not doubt that Heaven Breaker would kill her.

    "Rumble ~ ~ ~" As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth circulated in the air, peals of thunder could be heard coming from Heaven Breaker''s hands. With another wave of the Sky Breaking Hand, a fierce tiger made from Lightning rushed towards Miao Linger.

    The spiritual energy s all rushed out from Miao Linger''s body and transformed into a set of spiritual energy light wall s in front of him. When the seemingly unstoppable Lightning and tiger made contact with the light wall, they were actually being slowly decomposed, and the effect of the disintegration of yin and yang energy was being displayed at this moment.

    The power of Yin and Yang could break down everything in the world. Compared to people of the same level, people with the Yin Yang Body would be invincible. Of course, the condition was to be of the same level, even the power of Yin and Yang could not make up for the difference.

    "Crunch." Cracks began to appear on the spiritual energy light wall and in the end, Miao Linger was unable to withstand the attacks of the Lightning s. In the end, the light wall s were smashed apart and the remaining energy of the Lightning s forcefully struck Miao Linger''s body, immediately sending him flying and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

    "Kuang", Miao Linger heavily smashed onto the ground, and only stopped after rubbing against the ground for tens of metres. The current Miao Linger was already covered with scars, and the clothes on her body were already in tatters. Just to get up from the ground, she had already used all of her strength.

    "I can give you a chance. Come back in three years. If you can take three of my moves, you can still join." Heaven Breaker said as he looked at the swaying Miao Linger.

    "Cut the crap, there''s still one more move." Even though Miao Linger was already extremely weak, the way she spoke sounded extremely strong and forceful, so this little girl had actually become strong at this moment.

    Looking at Miao Linger, Xia Xuan and the rest could not help but nod their heads, failure was not scary, what was scary was admitting defeat before, although Miao Linger could not take three moves, she already had the qualifications to enter the Black Crows.

    Chapter 187 - Assembling ink into a crow, transforming into a king

    "You have guts." Heaven Breaker looked at the girl who was trying her best to stand up and could not help but nod his head in satisfaction. However, he did not have any intention of holding back, as the spiritual energy s continued to flow out of his body.

    Even if the current Miao Linger was extremely weak, Heaven Breaker did not have any intentions of holding back. It was not because he was heartless, but because if she did not have enough strength, he might really die if she joined the Black Crows.

    The Lightning flashed as it rushed towards Miao Linger. Before the Lightning even landed, Miao Linger already felt her scalp tingling, if she were to allow the Lightning to hack at him, she would probably be chopped to death.

    At this moment, Miao Linger felt what was the threat of death. This move, Heaven Breaker, explained to her what was death.

    "I won''t give up!" Miao Linger forcefully swallowed a breath of air and then shouted loudly. The remaining spiritual energy s in his body gushed out, and the body sized mass of aura light turned into a spear in Miao Linger''s hands, pointing straight at the sky, ready to receive any lightning strikes at any time.

    "Boom!" A clap of thunder finally sounded, and the world was illuminated entirely white by the lightning glow. However, that lightning glow only existed for a moment, and then, the world returned to normal, and by the time everyone''s gaze turned to Miao Linger, he had already fainted. Fortunately, she was not injured at all, and seemed to have fainted.

    If she survived, then from now on, there would be one more person in Black Crows called Miao Linger.

    Inside a bamboo house in mountain stronghold, Miao Linger was quietly lying on the bed. Xia Xuan was sitting not too far away from his, quietly sipping a cup of fragrant tea.

    "Don''t lie down when you''re awake. Hurry up and wake up." After drinking a cup of fragrant tea, Xia Xuan suddenly said, and his gaze turned towards Miao Linger.

    "I''m injured, can''t you let me lie down for a while?" Miao Linger who had been lying down quietly suddenly jumped up and shouted at Xia Xuan in dissatisfaction.

    "No." Xia Xuan gently put down the teacup in his hand, and said without a trace of emotion in his voice. Then, he stood up and walked out of the room.

    "Humph!" Miao Linger snorted coldly, and then unwillingly got off the bed.

    "Boom" Miao Linger walked out of the bamboo house. Just as he was about to say something to Xia Xuan, a loud sound rang out, immediately attracting her gaze.

    In the distant horizon, they could see Heaven Breaker, Hu Zhentian, Gongsun Mei, the Black Qilin and no one else operating their spiritual energy and shuttling rapidly through the sky. At first glance, the flying paths of the five people were extremely chaotic, but the messy flying paths as well as the spiritual energy that no one would release from time to time formed a mystical array. Just looking at Miao Linger was enough to cause them to feel fear.

    "Do you dare to build a formation with them?" Xia Xuan stared at Heaven Breaker''s group of five and said with a stern voice.

    Just as Miao Linger was about to say that she did not dare, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she just remembered how the Black Crows was so renowned throughout the history.

    Not long after the creation of Black Crows, it became known as "The gathering of ink to become crows, the melting of ink to become kings". The meaning of this sentence was very simple. When the people of the Black Crows gather together, they will cause misfortune for the entire Hundred Wastelands, and when the Black Crows is dispersed, every member will become the overlords of a region of the Hundred Wastelands.

    At that time, a powerful expert of half a step into the Mysterious Sect had wanted to beat Black Crows, but unexpectedly, that expert of half a step into the Mysterious Sect had been killed by the Black Crows, and the members of the Black Crows organization at that time were generally only at the third stage of Xuanzun.

    Looking at the formation in the sky that was created by the five of them, Miao Linger could not help but swallow her saliva. She felt that she was unable to keep up with the terrifying speed of others, if she was allowed to join them, she would probably die in the formation after three minutes because she could not keep up with everyone''s speed.

    "Is this the reason for me taking three moves?" Miao Linger asked. Only now did she understand why Heaven Breaker wanted her to take three moves. It was because this formation was the core of the Black Crows and the people who couldn''t create it together were no different from trash.

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan nodded and said noncommittally.

    "But I still don''t have the strength to set up a formation together." Miao Linger said again, she thought that since she was not dead, then the third move should have been taken care of, why did she still not dare to set up the array?

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan sneered, turned and looked at Miao Linger as if he was looking at a fool, then smiled: "Do you think Heaven Breaker has used his full strength?"

    When she said that, Miao Linger was immediately shocked. She could still remember how terrifying Heaven Breaker''s third move''s aura was. That technique really made her feel like she was facing the threat of death.

    "Don''t doubt my words. If you have time, learn properly. Sooner or later, you will have to set up a formation with them." Xia Xuan tapped Miao Linger''s small head as he lectured in a slightly lecturing tone.

    In the sky, the speeds of Heaven Breaker''s group of five grew faster and faster as the formation was completed. Even with Miao Linger''s eyesight, she was unable to clearly see the figures of the five as they shuttled rapidly in the sky. The strength of the formation also became stronger and stronger as time passed.

    Standing outside the array, Miao Linger could clearly see a small black dot appear in the middle of the array. That was not a material object, it was a spatial fragment. The space in the center of the array formation had been crushed by the formidable power of the array formation!

    No one in the Tian Lin Continent didn''t know this, but in order to tear space apart, one had to be at least at the Profound Master level of strength. However, these five Xuanzun level people had relied on the effects of the formation to tear space apart. After seeing the little black dot, Miao Linger finally understood why Black Crows could defeat half-step Mysterious Sect experts. With such a powerful array, forget about Mysterious Sect, even Profound Emperor could be killed.

    The black speck grew larger and larger within the formation. Eventually, the entire space within the formation shattered and a huge black hole hung in the sky. A huge suction force surged out from the black hole. Even though it was extremely far away from the black hole, Miao Linger still felt like she was being sucked in.

    "Pa!" Xia Xuan suddenly patted Miao Linger''s shoulder, and then Miao Linger''s body that was about to float away, was nailed firmly to the ground.

    Miao Linger looked at Xia Xuan who was as unmoving as a mountain, and his heart was filled with suspicions. Although Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, he only possessed the strength of a Sixth grade Profound King, so how was he able to remain unmoving like a mountain under such circumstances?

    Just as Miao Linger was watching Xia Xuan attentively, the group of five people who were in the sky suddenly stopped, and the array formation uncontrollably rushed towards a large mountain in the distance. As for the black hole that was rushing out, when it made contact with the mountain, the entire mountain disappeared in a flash.

    Miao Linger covered her mouth in shock. The huge mountain was not destroyed, but sucked into another space. Naturally, the mountain would be torn apart by the power of space.

    "The people from the Black Crows are really monsters." Miao Linger could not help but exclaim. Just this kind of formation was enough to allow Black Crows to guarantee that no one could be a match for him under Profound Emperor.

    Chapter 188 - Reappearance of the Black Crows

    Hundred Saint Mountain was a place where special proceedings were held. Ever since the Hundred Holy Mountain had existed, the people here were the Sect Leader s of the various super sects in the various regions, and what they were discussing was all related to the survival of the Hundred Holy Lands.

    On the Hundred Saints Mountain, the s of the several big sects were already gathered. None of them had a smile on their face, as at this moment, no one wanted to try to get close to other people.

    Just when the top of the mountain was completely silent, a small light sphere floated over to the top of the mountain. As soon as the light sphere reached the top, it exploded, and the light turned into a ray of light in the sky.

    "Everyone should recognize me. This year''s general assembly is going to discuss the suppression of Black Crows, so I will not participate in it. Very soon, everyone will know why I will not participate." The image of Heaven Breaker had both his hands behind his back, as he spoke with an imposing voice.

    The moment the image finished its sentence, it immediately dispersed, bringing a look of shock to the people on the mountaintop.

    "He, Heaven Breaker, actually did not come to an important matter like the suppression of the Black Crows s. Isn''t this a bit too much?" A man dressed in red on the mountaintop immediately shouted in anger. Not only was this man''s clothes fiery red, even his hair and beard were fiery red. This man was well-known for being the from a super sect in the Mortal Realm.

    "Exactly, this is a matter of life and death." Another person shouted.

    "Okay, if he doesn''t come, then he doesn''t come. We can''t force him either." A majestic voice rang out. After which, all the gazes on the mountain peak turned towards one direction.

    At the place where everyone''s eyes were focused on, there was a man dressed in black. The man had a pair of wide wings on his back, and looked to be just in his early twenties, but the man''s name was Mo Huanyu, his actual age was already close to a thousand years old, and his strength had reached such a terrifying seventh rank Xuan Lord. He was the''s strongest sect, the Sect Leader.

    Within the three realms, the Infernal domain was the strongest and the strongest sect in the entire Wasteland. Thus, the meeting today was led by Mo Huanyu, and since Mo Huanyu had already spoken, everyone naturally had to listen to him.

    "I believe everyone must have sensed the situation in the Black Raven Mountain not too long ago. That kind of aura must have appeared in the Black Raven Mountain because of the reunion of the Black Crows. I wonder if everyone still remembers that phrase, ''gathering ink for a crow, transforming it into a king''." As he spoke, Mo Huayu''s expression turned extremely solemn.

    It could be said that those words were the most brazen words that everyone had ever heard. First, it was to collect ink and become a crow, but not even the words "ink and become a king" could be used.

    Casting ink meant that when the people of the Black Crows were spread out, every member would become the hegemons of a region in the Hundred Desolate Lands. But up until now, no hegemon of a region in the Hundred Desolate Lands had ever been a member of the Black Crows.

    The phrase "ink gathering for the crow" was even more arrogant. It meant that when the people of the Black Crows gathered together, they would cause misfortune for the hundred wastelands like the crows.

    Basically, most of the people who came here were the ones who committed heinous crimes, and the greatest misfortune to them was that everything they owned had been taken away. Therefore, the misfortune of the ink gathering was to unify the Hundred Wastelands. At that time, everything would be controlled by the Black Crows.

    Until now, the Black Crows had appeared a total of five times in the Hundred Wastelands. Every time, the leader of the Black Crows was not the same person, but the other members had never changed. Even though no one knew the true identities of the members, it was not really a big deal.

    The thing that the Black Crows was truly afraid of was their formation that was said to be able to kill half-step Mysterious Sect experts. When an arrogant super powerhouse appeared among the weak, the weak would have a sense of danger. Before this powerhouse ruled over the weak, the weak would first exterminate this powerhouse.

    Of course, until now, no one had killed anyone from the Black Crows.

    "Everyone is chatting quite happily. I wonder if I can participate?" Just as the mountain was filled with silence, a laugh rang out, breaking the silent atmosphere.

    When everyone looked towards the source of the voice, they saw a slightly skinny man dressed in black carrying a woman as they floated in the sky. The man had a playful smile on his face, but the woman he was pulling was so scared that she wanted to hide behind him.

    The ones who came were none other than Xia Xuan and Miao Linger.

    Seeing that it was two little kids, the people at the top of the mountain immediately became angry. This meeting to punish the Black Crows was not something that the two little kids could barge into casually.

    "Where did this brat come from? Scram, otherwise, don''t blame me for being impolite." The old man was the most irritable of them all. When he saw the two little brats interject, he immediately flew into a rage. If it wasn''t for him not knowing the identities of the two, he would have burned them to ashes long ago.

    "Xia Xuan, how about we go?" Miao Linger whispered into Xia Xuan''s ear, and at the same time, she kept hiding behind Xia Xuan. All of the people present were all s from super sects, and no matter who it was, they were all experts at the fifth stage of Xuanzun or above. In front of so many experts, a little girl who had never seen the world, like her, was already scared to death.

    "You guys actually haven''t died yet." Amongst the crowd, a couple looked at Xia Xuan and Miao Linger with eyes filled with surprise. That couple was someone else, it was the Countess couple who had previously brought Xia Xuan and Miao Linger into the stomach of the gigantic beast in Black Mist Mountains and Rivers.

    However, Count of Bloody Cloth and the Countess combined their powers and a normal sixth stage Xuanzun was no match for them. With the efforts of this couple, their sect had also reached the ranks of a super sect.

    "Neither of you are dead, so how could I?" Xia Xuan smiled slightly as his binocular narrowed. However, the killing intent coming out from his body made the Count and Countess feel a bit of fear.

    "But your hand was devoured by that huge beast right? I wonder why you, who lost an arm, didn''t learn your lesson." Count of Bloody Cloth very quickly detected Xia Xuan''s missing left arm, and immediately sneered.

    "Humph!" I will not let this kind of thing happen again. " With a cold snort, Xia Xuan raised her right hand high up into the air, and a mass of aura light floated out of her hand. In a flash, the ball of light appeared in the sky, and when the ball of light exploded in the sky, everyone within five thousand kilometers could see it.

    "What are you doing?" Seeing Xia Xuan''s action, Mo Huanyu, who had not spoken since the beginning, hurriedly spoke up. He was naturally able to tell that Xia Xuan was passing down messages. At this time and place, there was only one possibility for passing messages, and that was that Xia Xuan had set a trap.

    "Humph!" If you want to deal with my Black Crows, I will destroy you first. " Xia Xuan''s eyes suddenly became gloomy, a wave of killing intent soared to the sky and adorned him like a Deicide, shocking everyone.

 C189

    Chapter 189 - Black Crows''s Might

    Xia Xuan who had unleashed a strong killing intent, stood in the sky, and looked at everyone like they were looking at ants, the current him was like the reincarnation of the Deicide, the terrifying killing intent was definitely not something that the Homo sapiens could possess, the killing intent caused everyone to feel a sense of dread, fear coming from the bottom of their hearts.

    "Who the hell are you?" Mo Huanyu pointed at Xia Xuan and asked in fear.

    "The new leader of the Black Crows, is no longer named after himself. In this life, I shall be the Black Crows." Xia Xuan said in an emotionless voice. Behind his, when Miao Linger heard that voice, he felt as if Xia Xuan had changed into a different person. That voice, even if she heard it, she couldn''t help but shiver in fear.

    "What!" Although they knew that the cultivation level of the previous leaders of the Black Crows s were not high, when they saw that the new leader of the Black Crows s was actually a Sixth grade Profound King, they still did not dare believe their own ears.

    "If you have time to be surprised, why don''t you think of a way to receive our Black Crows''s grand formation?" Xia Xuan couldn''t help but laugh as he looked at those people whose faces were filled with shock.

    Although the black dot was still very far away from the Hundred Saint Mountain, everyone could feel a sense of danger approaching. This black dot was probably the trump card of the Black Crows, it had once killed a half-step Mysterious Sect Ranker before.

    "Everyone run." That was the formation that had once killed half-step Mysterious Sect Warriors before. Any resistance before this kind of formation would be useless, thus, the moment Mo Huanyu saw the black dot, he told everyone to escape without any hesitation.

    It was actually a huge black hole. When the black hole struck the Hundred Saint Mountain, a terrifying suction force immediately gushed out, and even with Mo Huayu''s strength, he was unable to resist the suction force. His body started moving towards the black hole.

    "You can''t die for now." Xia Xuan was not affected by the black hole at all. When he saw that Mo Huayu was unable to escape the suction of the black hole, he made a beckoning gesture with his hand, and a surge of energy pulled Mo Huanyu over.

    From his angle, he could clearly see that the Sect Leader s of the various sects were originally unable to resist the suction force from the black hole, and were all sucked into the black hole one by one. Soon after, miserable screams rang out, and all the Sect Leader s of the various sects had actually died.

    "You, what are you trying to do?" Mo Huanyu finally calmed himself down, and when he looked at Xia Xuan again, his eyes were filled with fear. Was this the true strength of the organization that the Black Crows was organizing? Perhaps the entire wasteland had looked down on the organization from the very beginning.

    "Next, I will ask and you will answer. If there''s even the slightest bit of concealment, I want your head to fall to the ground." Xia Xuan asked seriously. At the same time, a dense killing intent condensed into substance surrounded Mo Huanyu, scaring him to the point that his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

    "Where is the reincarnation of the demon god?" The demon god could be said to be the faith of the entire Demon World, but Xia Xuan''s first question was actually to find out the whereabouts of the demon god''s reincarnation. Although he knew who the demon god was, he still couldn''t tell Xia Xuan about it even if he were to die.

    "Humph!" The reason why he came here today was because Mo Huanyu was the son of the State Advisor before he came to the Hundred Wastelands City. The entire Demon World knew that the only person who had reincarnated into the demon god other than the Infernal King was the State Advisor.

    From the beginning, Xia Xuan also thought that Mo Huayu would personally tell him that he still had to see what he knew.

    Xia Xuan''s large hand extended towards Mo Huanyu''s head. When his large hand pressed onto Mo Huanyu''s head, Mo Huanyu instantly felt something invading his brain, and then his entire consciousness slowly disappeared. His eyelids had already drooped down uncontrollably.

    Demon World, this was the only land in the five realms that dared to openly make an enemy of The Divine Realm. Demon World was said to be able to weaken seventy percent of her strength if she were to fight to the death with The Divine Realm.

    Although it was only seventy percent of the total power of one hundred percent, it caused the The Divine Realm to feel fear. This group of Mainland did not possess only the power of the gods and devils, if they truly lost seventy percent of their power, the other realms would be able to overthrow them.

    As usual, the sky above Demon World was shrouded by thick black clouds. People with magic wing walked within the Demon World, but the difference was that this Demon World was only Mo Huayi''s consciousness.

    When Xia Xuan arrived at Mo Huanyu''s world of consciousness, what appeared in front of him was a huge city. Xia Xuan was not unfamiliar with this place, as the demon god was a normal Demon Dwellers here before he had become a god. This place was called Demon City and was the center of the entire Demon World. This entire city was where the Infernal King lived.

    Here, Xia Xuan''s consciousness moved, and his entire person arrived at the center of the city. There were only five people in the room, one of them was a Teenage who was only a bit older than ten years old. Although Teenage was young, it was obvious that he was Mo Huanyu.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze did not land on Mo Huanyu. What attracted him was a teenage girl, and at this moment, the girl was being led by a tall and strong man. Although the woman looked to be only around ten years old, she was already slender and elegant. Her waist-length black hair was especially eye-catching. It was likely that the woman would grow up to be even more beautiful than Yan Shuang.

    From the woman''s body, Xia Xuan felt a familiar aura. That aura could only be possessed by one person, and that person was demon god.

    When he saw the reincarnation of the demon god, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but want to hug him in his arms. However, Xia Xuan leaped into the air because this was just Mo Huanyu''s world of consciousness that didn''t really exist.

    "Your Highness, please enter the formation." A Old Man in the main hall respectfully said to the woman.

    The woman nodded her head and walked to the center of the hall. A mysterious formation was drawn on the ground with fresh blood, and the moment she stood in the middle of the formation, it began to emit a dazzling light.

    Under the shine of the light, a figure of light slowly appeared, the figure of light had an extremely beautiful appearance, with a head of black hair that cascaded down his body like a waterfall, a pair of wide magic wing s extended out, covering the sky. Although it was just a figure of light, but its eyes looked extremely deep, and the entire figure of light seemed to unknowingly reveal an extremely imposing might.

    "Daughter ˇ­" Seeing the figure of light, the tall and strong man who was holding onto the woman before immediately started crying. His hands trembled as he stretched them out, wanting to touch the figure of light''s face.

    "Wang, don''t be sad." One of them came to the man''s side. The Old Man looked to be in high spirits. To be able to witness the reincarnation of the demon god, he must be the Infernal King, and this Old Man must be the State Advisor.

    Seeing the scene in the room, Xia Xuan could not help but lower his head. demon god was Infernal King''s daughter before he became a god, and Infernal King had handed his over to him, but he had failed to protect her.

 C190

    Chapter 190 - Public Enemy

    When his consciousness returned to his body, Xia Xuan slowly opened his binocular, but the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated. He felt joy from finding the reincarnation of the demon god, and he also remembered the sorrow produced by the demon god''s desire to reincarnate.

    "Brat, I advise you to let me go. If anything happens to me, my father will not spare you. My father is the State Advisor." Mo Huanyu also regained his consciousness, but when he saw the strange expression on Xia Xuan''s face, he immediately muttered to himself. An existence like the Demon World was definitely an existence that was below one person and above tens of thousands others. He believed that if he were to bring out his father, Xia Xuan would be slightly more afraid.

    "Tie him up for me." To Mo Huanyu''s surprise, not only was Xia Xuan not scared by his words, he even ordered Miao Linger to tie him up.

    Just as Miao Linger was prepared to tie Mo Huanyu up, Mo Huanyu suddenly unleashed his powerful spiritual energy and sent Miao Linger flying.

    Although Black Crows''s array was strong, it did not mean that he was at the mercy of others. In his eyes, Xia Xuan was just a Sixth grade Profound King, and he, Mo Huanyu, was already a monster that had lived for more than a thousand years.

    A powerful aura of seventh rank Xuan Lord surged out from Mo Huanyu''s body. At this moment, Mo Huanyu''s face was dark, and he stared straight at Xia Xuan with eyes filled with sinister intent.

    "You forced me to do this." Mo Huanyu roared, raised his fist and smashed towards Xia Xuan.

    "Boom!" Mo Huayu''s fist descended. Just as a complacent expression appeared on his face, he felt that something was wrong. His fist had indeed smashed down. However, the object that he smashed into was too hard.

    Gazing at his own fist, he saw that the one smashed was not Xia Xuan, but a large palm. Following the direction of the palm, he saw that the owner of that hand, Mo Huanyu, was familiar. It was the leader of the ''Pan''s Foot'', Hu Zhentian.

    "Hu Zhentian, get lost." Seeing that it was Hu Zhentian, Mo Yan immediately scolded him. In his opinion, Hu Zhentian was just a first grade sect''s Sect Leader, he did not even put a mere fifth grade Xuanzun in his eyes.

    Hu Zhentian did not pay attention to Mo Huanyu. Instead, he slowly increased the power in his palm and clenched Mo Huanyu''s fist until it creaked.

    Just as he was about to struggle, he realized that he was unable to struggle free with his own strength. Hu Zhentian''s strength was actually far stronger than his own, and it was only now that he suddenly realized that he was unable to see through Hu Zhentian''s cultivation.

    "Usually I just hide my strength, but do you really think you''re the number one person in Infernal domain?" Hu Zhentian indifferently looked at Mo Huanyu, and the fist that was squeezing his couldn''t help but increase in strength. The way he looked at Mo Huanyu was as though he was looking at an idiot, and the unconcealable killing intent made Mo Huanyu''s legs go soft.

    "Alright, this guy still has some use." A helpless voice rang out. It was unknown when Heaven Breaker had arrived, but he was accompanied by Gongsun Mei, the Black Qilin, and Zhou Zhileng.

    This meant that there were four people in this group whose cultivation was far higher than his. This caused Mo Huayi to be incomparably surprised; so it turns out that the words of Mo Yu, who had turned into ink, were not empty words. If the people of this organization were to spread out, it was likely that they would become the kings of the various realms.

    "Don''t worry, I know what I''m doing." Hu Zhentian replied as a wave of spiritual energy gushed out of his body. The spiritual energy transformed into a long rope and tied Mo Huayu up.

    The most famous city in the Infernal domain was Fengcheng, and the reason why this city was famous was because it was the territory of the strongest sect in the Infernal domain, the Master. In the entire Hundred Desolate City, the overall strength of Fengshi City could be said to be the strongest.

    All of the first rank sect''s Sect Leader s and elders of the super sects had come to the Emissary City. For no other reason than that, the life lamps of the s of the other super sects had been extinguished the day before.

    Yesterday, those Sect Leader s went to participate in the crusade organized by the Black Crows. However, not long after, all of them died, so the elders from the various great sects came to find an explanation. As for the Sect Leader s of the first-rate sects, they believed that this matter was related to the organization organized by the Black Crows, so they all gathered here, wanting to understand the situation.

    At this time, outside of the Ascension Sect, hundreds of experts were clamoring and releasing powerful auras towards the sect. Within a circumference of a hundred miles, there was no one. Normal people could not even resist the auras of these experts.

    "Swish!" A figure of light flew out of the sect. Only when the figure of light descended did one see clearly who it was. At that time, it was a white-haired Old Man with a long rod in his hand. His skin was as dry as dry land, but when people saw him, the intimidating aura he had released was slowly retracted.

    This Old Man was the head elder of the Esteemed Master School, the person who held the second position in the Esteemed Master School and was known as the Old Man Toad.

    "Old Toad, where is our Sect Leader?" There were some in the crowd who were not afraid of Old Man, and shouted angrily when they saw him.

    "How would I know about your Sect Leader?" The old man was clearly in a bad mood as well. When he heard the voices coming from the crowd, he immediately responded in anger.

    "This meeting is led by your Master. All of our Sect Leader s are missing now, who else should we look for if not your Master?" Another angry voice sounded. When everyone turned to look, they saw that the person who called out was also a Old Man. That Old Man had a head of fiery red hair, looked somewhat similar to that old man.

    "Humph!" I think we need to find trouble with Black Crows for this matter. If everyone really wants to get a public announcement, let''s go to Black Raven Mountain. " The old man snorted angrily and flung her sleeves, wanting to turn around and pay her respects to her master.

    The people in the sky looked at each other, the whereabouts of the dozens of s from the top sects were unknown, if this was really done by the Black Crows, then perhaps no one would dare to find trouble with the organizations in the Black Raven Mountain.

    "Yo, I don''t know why all these powerful people are gathered here. Can you let me join in on the fun?" Just when the people in the sky were silent, a laughter rang out. Then, everyone''s gazes turned towards the source of the laughter.

    The one who spoke was a slightly skinny man dressed in black. A group of people stood behind the man and within that group, there were a few that did not reveal any spiritual energy. The strength of this group of people was extremely terrifying.

    Of course, people''s eyes were not on this group. Because in front of Xia Xuan, there was a person who had been tied up by all kinds of restrictions. That person was none other than the Mo Huanyu!

    "Sect Leader!" When he saw Mo Huanyu, the toad staff old man immediately said this anxiously, but when he saw Xia Xuan''s palm that was grabbing onto Mo Huanyu''s neck, he immediately calmed down.

    "Who are you people?" When the previously fiery haired Old Man saw Xia Xuan and company, he immediately shouted out in anger.

    "We are the public enemy of the Hundred Desolations, all the great sects and Sect Leader s have been assassinated by us, we are the Black Crows!" The corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth raised slightly as he said something that shocked everyone present.

 C191

    Chapter 191 - Demon World

    In the sky, Xia Xuan''s face was still filled with smiles, but the sect elders and Sect Leader s were already extremely shocked, this group of people was actually the legendary organization that caused the entire Hundred Desolate Land to tremble in fear, the Black Crows.

    The only person in the crowd who wasn''t surprised was the old man, and his lips moved slightly. A sound transmission was sent to the Esteemed Master''s sect, and without anyone''s knowledge, a disciple of the Esteemed Master''s sect had shattered a jade medallion.

    "Where is our Sect Leader?" The elders of the super sects also slowly came back to their senses as they shouted out in anger.

    "Humph!" All of them were killed by me. " Xia Xuan said slowly with a gloomy face.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the faces of the elders from the super sects all became pale. Although the life light of their Sect Leader s had been extinguished, they did not believe that the s would suddenly all die. As a result, these elders were still extremely shocked when they heard the news that Xia Xuan had personally revealed the death of their Sect Leader.

    "You want to repay my son with his life." When the fire-haired Old Man heard the news of Sect Leader''s death, his spiritual energy soared into the sky.

    He was now over a thousand years old. Back then, he had given the position of Sect Leader to the old man, and he himself had stepped down from the position of Great Clan Elder. The strength of this red-haired Old Man was definitely one of the top three positions in the Blazing Gate, and could be considered the trump card of the Blazing Gate.

    "Foolish." Xia Xuan did not have the intention to fight. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the Old Man as if he was looking at a stupid beast, his voice was filled with disdain.

    "Swish!" A black figure flashed out from behind Xia Xuan, and a short blade could be vaguely seen within the black figure''s hands.

    The black shadow''s speed was extremely fast, by the time the red-haired Old Man had reacted, the black shadow was already in front of him, and seeing that the short blade was already thrusting towards his throat, the Old Man could only wrap both hands with the spiritual energy and receive the short blade head on.

    Ping. When the short blade and the Old Man''s palms clashed, there was only a ping sound, and then the black shadow sent another message. The sudden disappearance of the black shadow shocked Old Man. When he reacted, a short blade was already close to his neck.

    Being pressed down by the short blade, the Old Man didn''t dare to make any more movements. He had no doubt that if he made any more movements, the short blade would cut his neck and end his thousand years of life.

    "To gather ink into a crow and to transform it into a king, do you really think that I am only speaking of it?" Xia Xuan''s voice once again became ice-cold, and did not contain the slightest bit of emotion.

    Everyone was staring at Xia Xuan. The spiritual energy was secretly operating in their hands, but no one dared to make a move. Everyone knew the strength of the red-haired Old Man, he had long reached the peak of the sixth stage of Xuanzun.

    However, this kind of expert could not even withstand two moves from the black Qilin. How could other people dare to fight back?

    "The gathering of ink into a crow and the melting of ink into a king. Today, I want to see how your Black Crows will be called." When everyone was in a stalemate state, a furious voice sounded out, and a huge crack appeared in the space not far away. When everyone looked towards the crack in space, they saw a Old Man dressed in plain clothes walking out of the space.

    This Old Man looked no different from an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that following his appearance, all of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy fled. Although the Old Man looked to be very old, when he stretched out his arms, he still seemed to cover the sky and the sun.

    Furthermore, the Old Man''s tearing space looked extremely free and easy. To tear through space, one had to at least be at the Profound Master level, and to tear through space as easily as Old Man did, even the monsters that opened the two gates would find it difficult to do so, the strength of this Old Man might not even be comparable to a few Gods.

    "Demon World ˇ­" Xia Xuan muttered when she saw the Old Man. This Old Man was the Old Man that held him in Mo Huanyu''s consciousness, and the identity of this Old Man was that of the State Advisor. In the Demon World, he was definitely an existence below ten thousand people.

    "You still know me, State Advisor? I thought you had become an idiot in Samsara." When State Advisor saw Xia Xuan, his face immediately flushed with anger. In an instant, the entire world turned dark due to his anger, and rolling black clouds gathered in the sky as thunder snake s came crashing down from the sky, as if it was the end of the world.

    Mo Huanyu was indeed the strongest among the Sect Leader s of the various sects, but compared to some of the older monsters of the other sects, he was still too young.

    Seeing State Advisor''s terrifying aura, all the elders and Sect Leader s from various sects revealed a complacent look. The reason why State Advisor came here must be for Mo Huanyu, for Xia Xuan and the others to capture Mo Huanyu, for naturally, State Advisor had to protect him.

    Since he had the help of the State Advisor, then the organization of the Black Crows would probably not be able to escape.

    Seeing State Advisor''s overbearing attitude, Heaven Breaker and the others behind Xia Xuan immediately wanted to turn around and take a good look at the spiritual energy, but Xia Xuan waved his hand, signalling them not to do anything. He then took two steps forward and directly knelt in front of State Advisor.

    "State Advisor, it''s up to you how you want to punish me. It''s best if you do the same for me as well." Xia Xuan lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said.

    The surrounding people were all puzzled, what kind of situation was Xia Xuan in?

    "Humph!" Lord Infernal King will personally punish you, but that does not mean that this old man will let you go. I watched demon god grow up like a granddaughter of mine, and in the end, you don''t even have the ability to protect her. The State Advisor said this as he raised his shriveled up palm and fiercely smashed it towards Xia Xuan.

    With Old Man''s strength, with that one palm strike, all the spiritual energy in Heaven and Earth were sucked over. State Advisor''s shriveled up palm seemed to have grown a hundred times larger as it pressed down towards Xia Xuan.

    "Boom!" State Advisor''s palm forcefully landed on Xia Xuan''s body, but surprisingly, Xia Xuan didn''t resist at all. When that huge palm descended, his entire body couldn''t withstand the immense force and turned into a shooting star, falling heavily onto the ground.

    "Xia Xuan." Seeing Xia Xuan getting struck so heavily, Miao Linger immediately shouted out loud. Just as she wanted to rush out, Heaven Breaker stopped his.

    "Don''t mess around." Heaven Breaker said harshly as he glared at Miao Linger.

    "But ˇ­" Miao Linger panicked, and wanted to say something, but did not know what to say.

    "Relax, State Advisor is only giving him a lesson, he won''t really want his life." At this time, every single member of the Black Crows had a solemn face, all of them were clenching their fists tightly, but no one wanted to help them, it was not because they did not dare, but rather because they would risk their lives if they could, but they could not get involved with Xia Xuan''s matter.

    Xia Xuan smashed onto the ground fiercely, and when everyone looked over, they saw that the dust had slowly scattered, and a Sky Pit had been forced out. In the hole, Xia Xuan did not fall down, but he was still on one knee, and even though he was covered in blood, he would still fall tomorrow.

    Chapter 192 - Self-reliance

    "You ˇ­" State Advisor looked at Xia Xuan kneeling on the ground, his old face turning red from anger. To be honest, when he first found out that demon god was reincarnated with Deicide, State Advisor really wanted to pull out the reincarnated Deicide''s Soul and give it a fierce beating. However, he calmed down later on.

    "State Advisor, please continue to punish me." Xia Xuan lowered his head and shouted angrily. The current him did not care about whether the State Advisor would beat him to death, he only thought of the demon god following him into reincarnation. As a man, he could not even protect his own woman.

    "You deserve to be punished." Although State Advisor knew he couldn''t kill Xia Xuan, he was still angry. Even if he couldn''t kill Xia Xuan, he couldn''t help but want to beat him up.

    The State Advisor raised his withered hand again and the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy followed suit. Under numerous astonished gazes, the State Advisor struck out with his palm again.

    "Boom!" When the palm strike landed, all the various sect elders and Sect Leader s couldn''t help but suck in a breath of cold air. If Demon World''s strength was at the Divine level, she would definitely be at the Divine General level. This kind of expert was not someone ordinary people like them could handle.

    Miao Linger and Gongsun Mei held their hands even tighter, to the point where they were about to cry. Heaven Breaker, the Black Qilin, Hu Zhentian and the others were clenching their fists so hard that they made sounds, and they didn''t even know that their nails had pierced into their palms.

    At this time, Xia Xuan could simply be described as miserable. After receiving two palm strikes, all of the meridians in his body had ruptured, and no matter whether it was his right or his legs, both had broken. He was lying on the ground, and fresh blood kept on spraying out from the corner of his mouth.

    "Old senior State Advisor, you should have finished teaching him a lesson." Miao Linger finally could not hold it in and roared at the State Advisor.

    "Humph!" State Advisor merely glanced at Miao Linger, snorted coldly, then turned her gaze towards Xia Xuan. She suddenly waved her hand.

    But this time, what the State Advisor released was not an attack, but a gentle spiritual energy. That spiritual energy slowly floated towards Xia Xuan and wrapped around Xia Xuan''s entire person. As the spiritual energy fused into Xia Xuan''s body at a speed visible to the naked eye, its ruptured veins and broken limbs were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    When a person opens the Gate of Two Elements, the spiritual energy in their body would experience a qualitative change, their spiritual energy would no longer be able to be used for battle, and even some miraculous pills and medicines would not be able to match up to those spiritual energy.

    As long as you still have one breath left, these spiritual energy will be able to save your life. Furthermore, the blood and flesh recovered by these spiritual energy were much stronger than before. As a result, some people even used this method of continuous destruction and restoration to refine their bodies.

    With State Advisor''s strength, it would naturally be easy to heal Xia Xuan''s injuries. All of Xia Xuan''s injuries, and even his left arm, had been healed under the effects of the spiritual energy.

    "Ah ˇŞ ˇŞ" Even though his body was repaired, the pain from his veins and limbs exploding from the explosion earlier still did not disappear. Xia Xuan might have been too injured to scream, but it was different now. When the pain came, Xia Xuan immediately cried out. The sound was loud, but it was very short because Xia Xuan had forcefully endured it.

    "Thank you, State Advisor." Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and tremblingly kneeled towards State Advisor. When he spoke, he could clearly feel how difficult it was for State Advisor to endure the pain.

    "What do you have to thank me for? You should go and tell demon god yourself." State Advisor waved his sleeves and his gaze turned towards Mo Huayu. A wave of spiritual energy instantly pulled Mo Huanyu to his side. The State Advisor''s palm gently swiped across the air and a spatial crack appeared. The State Advisor did not say anything more and carried Mo Huanyu into the spatial crack before disappearing.

    After State Advisor left, Xia Xuan then turned to look at the elders and Sect Leader s of the various sects. Since the State Advisor was gone, then Xia Xuan should take care of these people.

    When they saw that Xia Xuan had turned his gaze towards them, the elders and Sect Leader s of the various sects could not help but swallow their saliva. Originally, they thought that since State Advisor had arrived, the time period for the organization of Black Crows was already here, but they did not expect that State Advisor would only teach him a lesson before leaving with Mo Huanyu.

    In this part of the Mainland, for the sake of allowing the Deicide to reincarnate, it could be said to be a beautiful legend. And from the words the State Advisor had said before, it could be said that the demon god did it for Xia Xuan, which meant that Xia Xuan was the Deicide''s reincarnation.

    What was terrifying was his potential, the reincarnation of a god, his potential was something ordinary people could not compare to. The current Xia Xuan was merely a Sixth grade Profound King, but in the near future, he could possibly become a top Ranker in the entire Tian Lin Continent.

    "You are all intelligent people, the new leader of my Black Crows has made it clear today, my Black Crows is preparing to rule the entire Hundred Desolations." With just one sentence, Xia Xuan revealed his purpose for coming here, shocking everyone.

    "In your dreams, you will never forget the grudge of killing my son." When the red-haired Old Man who was captured by the Black Qilin heard Xia Xuan, he immediately shouted in anger. If not for the threat of the short blade, he would have already jumped up and fought Xia Xuan to the death.

    Xia Xuan glanced at the red-haired Old Man who had an angry look on his face, and then said: "I want to change the Hundred Desolate Land into a different world. Those who are willing to join can stay, and those who are not willing to leave can also leave, I won''t hurt any of you, I just hope to leave the Hundred Desolate Land within three days."

    "Swish!" Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, the short blade in the black Qilin''s hands had already viciously slashed, and the head of the red-haired Old Man had already been separated from his neck. The black Qilin, who had lived together with Xia Xuan for five lifetimes, only needed a single glance to know what Xia Xuan meant.

    "Those who resist will have the same fate as him." Seeing the Black Qilin carrying out its orders, Xia Xuan spoke to the people once again.

    "Gulp." The sounds of Saliva swallowing sounded out one after another. While everyone looked at each other, the three factions had already separated.

    The three factions were all very obvious, Xia Xuan could see through the three groups of people with a glance, he then immediately revealed a smile and said: "Everyone''s intentions are very clear, then let us settle for you guys first."

    Saying that, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned to look at the smallest group of people on the three sides. It was not that Xia Xuan had chosen this team because there were fewer people on this team, but rather, he wanted to settle with this team.

    Following what Xia Xuan said, all the members of the Black Crows organization turned their gaze towards the pair as powerful spiritual energy s surged out, shocking the entire audience.

 C193

    Chapter 193 - Uniting the Hundred Wastelands

    The moment the people from the Black Crows''s organization erupted with their spiritual energy, everyone was shocked. In the entire Black Crows, other than Miao Linger, whose cultivation was lower, everyone else''s cultivation was at the peak of the seventh rank Xuan Lord. This kind of cultivation could not be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand, but no other power would have such a lineup.

    Out of the three squads, each squads had different positions. Two of the three squads had similar numbers of people, but the one Xia Xuan was facing only had a little more than a dozen people.

    Xia Xuan gave his two choices. One was to rely on him, and the other was to leave the Hundred Wastelands. Without a doubt, the two teams with similar numbers made their choice. Of course, there were also those who did not have a choice, and that was the team Xia Xuan was currently targeting.

    Xia Xuan had killed the Sect Leader s of various super sects, and some of these Sect Leader s were naturally related to the clan elders by blood, just like the red-haired Old Man s.

    "Ling''er, you stay by the side and watch." Xia Xuan told Miao Linger before she walked towards the convoy alone.

    "But ˇ­" Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Miao Linger seemed to say something, but Xia Xuan did not turn back to look at her, with a wave of his hand, he ignored her.

    Miao Linger then turned his gaze to the other people, only to realize that the other people did not have any intentions of fighting together with Xia Xuan. Immediately, suspicion and anxiousness filled her face.

    "You can watch from the side and learn the fighting methods of our Black Crows." Heaven Breaker lightly pushed Miao Linger away, then looked at the others. Everyone had a smile on their faces, it had been a long time since they had experienced such an intense battle.

    Heaven Breaker and the rest did not hesitate at all, the five of them immediately stood away, and the five of them started to operate in a specific trajectory, at the same time leaving behind mass of aura light s in the sky. The paths of the five people looked messy, but only those who knew about formations could see that the paths of these five people were actually mysterious.

    Miao Linger saw that no one was doing it and was immediately shocked. This was to activate the Black Crows''s trump card array, no wonder he did not need her help. Right now, she did not have the qualifications to participate in the construction of the array.

    "Stop them." Seeing the actions of Heaven Breaker''s group of five, those who were prepared to fight Xia Xuan to the death immediately shouted out, no one in their group dared to claim that they could handle the formation, if they were to allow it to be completed, then no one in their group would be able to survive.

    Just as the dozens of people were preparing to form a thousand stop the formation, Xia Xuan raised his hand high up and the flamethrower appeared in his hand in a flash. At the moment, there were nine halos of light above the flamethrower, which were seals on it.

    "Bang!" The nine rings of light shattered one after another, and as the rings of light broke, the flamethrower''s aura became stronger and stronger. When the ninth ring of light also shattered, the flamethrower''s aura became stronger and stronger, and the dragon soul, which had been asleep for a long time, finally woke up.

    It only took him an instant to undo the seal on the flamethrower, but everyone was stunned at this moment. The other two teams were secretly glad that they did not make an enemy out of the Black Crows out of anger.

    The flamethrower viciously swung down, and a gigantic spatial rift was forcibly split open. Amongst the dozens of people, there was one person who did not have the time to dodge and was struck by the spatial rift. Then, under numerous astonished gazes, he was cut into two.

    "You want to interrupt the formation? Did you get my permission?" With the people blocking him, Xia Xuan placed the flamethrower on his shoulder. At the moment, his binocular was already blood-red, and there was demonic Qi surrounding his body, in their eyes, Xia Xuan was like a Infernal King that had descended, it was extremely shocking.

    "Gulp." Those ten odd people all swallowed their Saliva, and the dozen of people looked at each other. Although Xia Xuan''s imposing manner caused everyone to jump in fright, these people were all elders from various super sects after all.

    Xia Xuan was only one person, they did not believe that he could block these dozens of old cunning foxes by himself. After all, two fists was not enough to fight against four hands, what''s more there were dozens of hands.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan glanced at the three squads and could not help but snort coldly. Then, one of his hands quickly formed a seal, and under everyone''s gazes, two clones appeared out of thin air. The strength of the two clones was no different from their original bodies, and the two clones also held flamethrower s in their hands.

    As a Deicide, he naturally had the ability to create clones with arms that were a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person''s. With his current strength, he could barely split out two clones with the same strength as himself. Of course, they would also take out their weapons.

    The two split up doppelgangers held onto their flamethrower s and rushed towards the other two groups of people, while the main body charged towards the other group.

    There was a line of sixteen people, and each group had four people. When the four people saw Xia Xuan, who was rushing over, they all looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with determination. When a group of people had the same goal, the degree of tacit understanding between them would reach an astonishing degree, this sort of tacit understanding was something even Xia Xuan who held a flamethrower would be afraid of.

    With their cooperation, the four of them started to attack Xia Xuan from all kinds of tricky angles. At this point in time, even the experienced Xia Xuan was a little unable to resist, the flamethrower s that clashed with the enemy already had many wounds on his body.

    After all, clones were clones, although the strength of the clones were almost the same as Xia Xuan''s original body, their defensive abilities were different. As long as the clones could withstand a certain amount of attack, they would disappear, and that was also Xia Xuan''s weakness, he was currently fighting with two fists against four hands, and the strength of their hands were not inferior to his.

    Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several minutes had passed. At this time, Xia Xuan''s two clones were already covered with injuries.

    There were two other teams of people in the battle. Although the two teams chose to follow Xia Xuan and leave the Hundred Wastelands, if Xia Xuan could not even handle a few of them, the two teams would have to take action immediately. At that time, Black Crows would not be able to escape.

    Xia Xuan resisted the attacks of the four people with much difficulty, and his gaze would occasionally turn towards the other two directions. When he saw that the two clones were slowly dissipating, he couldn''t help but clench his teeth.

    The flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hand viciously swung out, and the flamethrower directly threw towards Heaven Breaker''s group, who were closest to them. After that, he suddenly rushed towards Heaven Breaker''s group of five.

 C194

    Chapter 194 - desolation

    In a flash, Xia Xuan arrived in front of the array, seeing the sixteen people rushing at him, even with the Deicide''s mental fortitude, he could not help but find it difficult. If these sixteen people were to unite against him, to be honest, Xia Xuan would not be able to handle them, but Xia Xuan only needed to endure until the array was completed, and then these sixteen people would all be buried here.

    With a wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, the flamethrower returned to his hand. With a wave of the flamethrower''s hand, a huge spatial crack was forcefully drawn. Xia Xuan''s lips were already turning white from drawing out the spatial crack, and he had exhausted almost all of his strength to do so.

    After he drew out the spatial crack, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards a direction not far away. Even if Xia Xuan used all his strength, he was unable to wrap the spatial crack in the array, because there was still a crack not far away.

    Although the sixteen of them were shocked by the crack in space, they very quickly discovered the crack. Even if Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, it was impossible for him to be that kind of heaven defying existence.

    The sixteen people looked at each other before charging towards the gap at the same time. They turned into sixteen figures of light as they charged forward.

    In the blink of an eye, the sixteen people had already reached the entrance of the cave and a Teenage stood at the entrance. Like a general, the Teenage stood at the entrance of the cave and held the black scale lance tightly in his hands.

    "Kid, pay the price for your foolish actions." After seeing Xia Xuan, one of the sixteen people who looked the oldest immediately shouted in anger. Then, the sixteen people all erupted with powerful spiritual energy s as they rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    These sixteen old monsters were naturally able to tell that Xia Xuan had spent all of his strength just to create a spatial rift. The current Xia Xuan was already at the end of his rope, and in their opinion, today next year would be the day the Black Crows organization dies.

    "A tiger falling to the bottom of the sun being bullied by a dog." Xia Xuan looked at the sixteen people rushing towards him and could not help but sigh. Then, his eyes suddenly shone with a vicious light, and the remaining spiritual energy in his body began to gather at the tip of the spear.

    Facing this last attack, the leading Old Man merely waved his sleeve, and a wave of spiritual energy s flew out.

    "Be careful." Just as Old Man was secretly pleased with himself after he flew out of the flamethrower, a younger Old Man beside him shouted out.

    When the leading Old Man looked at Xia Xuan, he saw that a tiny black needle-like object had already appeared in front of him. The speed of the flying needles weren''t very fast, and from the flying needles, he wasn''t able to sense any fluctuations of the spiritual energy, it was just like an ordinary flying needle. But such a small flying needle actually caused a sense of crisis to arise in Old Man''s heart.

    "I can''t." Old Man''s first thought was like this. Even though Xia Xuan was already at the end of his strength, these sixteen people were all sly foxes, and their vigilance was not let down at all. Immediately, they dodged the flying needles by the side.

    Although the speed of the flying needle was very slow, it still flew past the front of Old Man. Old Man could clearly see that the space around the flying needle was ripped apart, this flying needle was definitely not ordinary.

    When Old Man dodged the needles, the people behind Old Man were unable to react. When the flying needle pierced one of the Old Man s, the Old Man who had reached the peak of the seventh rank Xuan Lord was simply unable to block the flying needle. Like tofu, he was pierced through by the flying needle.

    The flying needles instantly pierced through the bodies of several Old Man s. No matter who it was, they were unable to block the attacks of the flying needles, and with just one needle, they were able to kill two Old Man s.

    The leading Old Man looked at the two figures falling to the ground and could not help but smack his lips. He was glad that he did not underestimate the flying needles a moment ago.

    This flying needle was something that had been separated out from the orb of Primal Chaos in his body. Because he did not know what it was, he did not use it at all, but today, he was facing a crisis, so he could only take it out. But what Xia Xuan did not expect was that the power of this object was actually so strong.

    A Pills appeared in Xia Xuan''s hands. While the Old Man were still in shock, Xia Xuan swallowed the Pills with one bite.

    With the Pills that he had obtained from the Ancient Era''s Remnants, Xia Xuan was not worried that the spiritual energy would dry up. Those Pills were all collected by the Lord of the Five Realms, and if he took any one of them out, he would be able to quickly recover them. Adding Xia Xuan''s five hundred meridian s, it would be impossible to explain that Xia Xuan would be in peak condition in just two hours.

    "Let''s end this quickly." The leading Old Man sensed that Xia Xuan had devoured the Pills, and immediately shouted out, then led the remaining four people to charge towards Xia Xuan once again.

    "Humph!" With the spiritual energy in his body, Xia Xuan''s confidence immediately increased. With a wave of his hand, three flying needles flew out, and under the control of the flying needles, Xia Xuan rushed towards the Old Man s.

    The Old Man who had learnt their lesson no longer dared to underestimate these flying needles, and they all turned their bodies to dodge the attacks of the three flying needles. However, this time, these flying needles were controlled by Xia Xuan.

    After stopping the Old Man, Xia Xuan waved his hand, and the flamethrower and the flying needle flew back into his hands. Retracting the flamethrower, Xia Xuan turned to look behind him. The formation had already been completed, and in the center of the formation, there was a black hole the size of a fist. The black hole was already forming, and it was growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Xia Xuan looked at the Old Man s who were entangled by the flying needles and smiled. Then, he waved his hand and the three flying needles flew back into his hands.

    Without the entangling of the needles, those Old Man s were finally able to catch their breath. When their gazes turned to Xia Xuan once again, they shouted out that the situation wasn''t good. At this point in time, the spatial cracks had completely dissipated and what was revealed was a gigantic black hole. No one had come to a stop as the five of them looked at the Old Man s with a teasing gaze.

    "Quick, run." When the leading Old Man saw the gigantic black hole, he shouted loudly. In front of this black hole, even the old monsters who had lived for thousands of years like him had no way of resisting.

    "It''s over to run now." Xia Xuan looked at the Old Man s who were preparing to escape, and the smile on his face couldn''t help but become somewhat sinister. The black hole quickly rushed towards the Old Man s, and when the Old Man s were about to escape, the black hole was also split into fourteen points, as it fiercely charged towards those who had endured.

    The black hole was still extremely far from the Old Man. However, a suction force completely sucked the Old Man into it, and no matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free from the suction force.

    "Kid, we are all elders from the big sects, you will not have a good ending even if you kill us." The leading Old Man did not forget to threaten Xia Xuan before he died.

    "Bye bye." Xia Xuan was not moved at all, he waved his hand at Old Man, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

 C195

    Chapter 195 - Bandits

    Looking at the smile on Xia Xuan''s face, the Old Man s all felt despair in their hearts.

    "Bastard." The leading Old Man knew that it was impossible for Xia Xuan to stop, and he immediately cursed, after which his body actually swelled up and turned into a big round ball. This Old Man did not forget to bite Xia Xuan before he arrived and actually wanted to self-destruct.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan let out a cold snort, and then, with a wave of his hand, a wave of spiritual energy directly pushed the Old Man into the black hole. Although self-destructing could produce a powerful impact with the spiritual energy, the black hole still sucked the Old Man into another space.

    Before Old Man could explode, the tearing force of space had already completely torn him apart, while the others were also sucked in. Of course, no one could resist the tearing force of space. Under the gazes of the crowd, all fourteen Old Man were torn apart.

    "Gulp." When the two teams that had chosen to rely on Xia Xuan and those that had left the Hundred Wastelands saw that none of the elders from the various super sects escaped, they could not help but swallow their Saliva.

    Xia Xuan looked at the slowly disappearing black hole, the smile on his face did not change at all, but he would never show mercy to these people, Xia Xuan killing their Sect Leader was equivalent to establishing an irreconcilable feud with them, if Xia Xuan showed mercy, Xia Xuan would be the one in trouble, and Xia Xuan would not do such a foolish thing.

    "Is there anyone else who wants to join now?" Xia Xuan looked at the other two teams and laughed.

    The two teams looked at each other. In the end, some of them changed their minds and walked towards the other team.

    People have to face a lot of choices in their life. Some choices are the same no matter how you choose, but there are some choices that are right, and the rewards will be amazing. As the reincarnation of the Deicide in front of him, Xia Xuan''s potential far exceeded that of an ordinary person''s. Obviously, most people chose to take the risk.

    Of course, in the end, there were still some people who chose to leave the Hundred Wastelands. Although following Xia Xuan might give them a good return, they had earned what they had worked so hard for. They did not want to lose everything they had because of following Xia Xuan.

    "Those who are willing to join, come with me." Xia Xuan looked at the team that was willing to follow and could not help but nod his head in satisfaction. These people might be very ambitious, but as long as they could serve him, they would be his good subordinates.

    Although Xia Xuan had gone to the Infernal domain, with the help of the Flame Frost, the strength of the Stellar Martial Gate had already reached the level of a first-grade sect, and its territory had also expanded by several fold.

    The inside of the Stellar Martial Gate was bustling as usual, as people shuttled around, busying themselves with their own matters. Only one of the Wall in the Stellar Martial Gate was in a daze. The man wore a golden armor, her binocular s were slightly closed, and her golden hair was fluttering in the wind. From time to time, the people passing by would look at the beautiful blonde figure on the Wall.

    "They''re back." The binocular that was slightly closed slowly opened its eyes and subconsciously gave off a holy feeling as it spoke. Then, it slightly turned its head to look behind it. Unknowingly, Xia Muning had already appeared behind him.

    Xia Muning was dressed in plain clothes, walking in a gentle and refined manner, like a woman from a good family. She did not have the appearance that the person who established the Stellar Martial Gate should have.

    Ever since Xia Xuan took over the Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Muning had completely relaxed his body.

    "Where are we?" Xia Muning couldn''t help but ask curiously after hearing what Yan Shuang said. Not long ago, Yan Shuang had told her about Xia Xuan''s recent situation, so she knew that Xia Xuan was going to rule the Hundred Desolations.

    "Right away." After Yan Shuang said this, she waved her hand and a space tunnel was sliced apart.

    When the space tunnel appeared, a burst of powerful Spirit Qi came out from the tunnel, the Spirit Qi was so strong that even with Xia Muning''s strength, he could not help but be speechless, the person behind the tunnel was definitely a terrifyingly strong team.

    Very quickly, a figure slowly walked out from the space tunnel. It was a man dressed in black, with a slightly skinny body. The man had a smile on his face, it was Xia Xuan.

    Seeing Xia Xuan, Xia Muning''s face immediately revealed a hint of joy, but just as she was about to step forward to welcome him, he realized that there was someone else walking out from behind Xia Xuan.

    90% of the people who walked out from behind Xia Xuan she recognized, because they were all Sect Leader s and clan elders from different sects. It could be said that all the people from the Hundred Wastelands would recognize them, so why would so many experts follow behind Xia Xuan?

    "What''s wrong? "Aunty." Xia Xuan looked at the dumbstruck Xia Muning and could not help but laugh.

    "These people?" Xia Muning regained her senses and immediately pulled Xia Xuan to the side and asked softly.

    When Xia Xuan heard Xia Muning''s question, a smile immediately appeared on his face. He turned around and said loudly to the entire Stellar Martial Gate: "From today onwards, the Hundred Desolate War Institution will be renamed into the desolation, and my new leader, the Black Crows will become the Sector lord. All Hundred Desolate Sect will join the Stellar Martial Gate, and my Desolate Domain will become the enemy of the The Divine Realm."

    Xia Xuan''s voice spread throughout the entire Martial City while being wrapped up by the spiritual energy. When the people heard what Xia Xuan said, they all became extremely shocked, becoming enemies with the The Divine Realm. However, the people here were different. Those who would come in the Hundred Desolations were basically all desperate criminals, and when they heard what Xia Xuan said, they were first shocked, and then they cheered.

    "What are you going to do next?" Xia Muning was not the least bit excited by Xia Xuan''s words, his ice cold voice said.

    "Expanding the territory, I want to develop the desolation to the strongest realm." As Xia Xuan said this, he turned his gaze towards the distance. Outside the Hundred Wastelands, there was a boundless world, and those places were all places Xia Xuan wanted to conquer.

    "You''ve met the State Advisor?" Miao Linger asked again. Once one reached the Divine General level of strength, they would be able to see anything within a million miles. They would also be able to see everything that happened to Xia Xuan in the Infernal domain, and the State Advisor would also know about it when he came to the Infernal domain.

    "Un, he might have given me something good, so I''ll have to trouble you with the matter of the wasteland region. I''m going to go and see what exactly the State Advisor left behind." Xia Xuan nodded his head, a stern expression on his face.

    With that, Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and disappeared.

    Everyone looked at each other, they did not know where Xia Xuan went, but they did not ask him any questions.

    On the other hand, Yan Shuang shook her head helplessly. Her brother had just started to create the desolation and was about to be a hands-off manager.

    Chapter 196 - Fallen Devils

    The Stellar Martial Gate had a special secret room, which was specially used for closed doors cultivation.

    There were not many things in the secret room, it was only a stone bed. At this time, on the stone bed, Xia Xuan was seated cross legged, the binocular was closing up, both hands forming a strange seal, the spiritual energy were circling above his head, forming a vortex.

    At this time, Xia Xuan''s consciousness had completely sunk into his body. Inside the dantian, the orb of primal chaos was still floating. Xia Xuan''s consciousness was walking within, but his gaze was looking up at the sky. The meridian above it was clearly visible, but the current meridian ˇ­

    The blood that flowed from it was slightly different from before. One could vaguely see that there was a black substance flowing along with the blood from the meridian.

    "Lord State Advisor, you actually gave this to me." Xia Xuan couldn''t help but exclaim as he looked at the flowing black substance within the meridian.

    In this world, there were many cases where people would fall and become Demon Dwellers because of the Fallen Devil. The Fallen Demons would possess the strong power of the demon race, so in his previous life, Deicide had always wanted to become an Fallen Devil. However, because of his identity as a Divine General, he could become an Fallen Devil Beast.

    The State Advisor was giving Xia Xuan a choice. If Xia Xuan refined these bloodlines, Xia Xuan would really become an Fallen Devil, but the Fallen Devil will never become a Good God. The Fallen Devil can only become a evil god, and as the number one general in the entire The Divine Realm, Xia Xuan would naturally think twice before acting.

    Of course, Xia Xuan could also choose not to refine these bloodlines, but it would remain in Xia Xuan''s body for a long time and not be removed.

    In truth, Xia Xuan would not hesitate to make this choice. Since the Celestial King had betrayed him, he would become a laughingstock if he continued to serve the Celestial King.

    As Xia Xuan regained his consciousness, he slowly opened the binocular and couldn''t help but smile. State Advisor''s gift was simply too precious.

    There was a difference in the blood of State Advisor s as well. It could be said that the blood of Infernal King s was the strongest bloodline in the entire Demon World, and of all the Demoness s, Xia Xuan was probably the only one with this treatment.

    With his heart thanking the State Advisor and the Infernal King, Xia Xuan closed the binocular and the spiritual energy began to circulate again.

    Following the circulation of the spiritual energy, the blood inside Xia Xuan''s meridian also started to flow. Although the meridian was inside his body, one could still see a kind of strange light flashing on Xia Xuan''s body. That light color turned blood-red, but if one looked carefully, they would discover that within the blood color, there was still a bit of indistinct black.

    After the blood flow, the spiritual energy began to circulate. Under the channeling of the spiritual energy, the blood color and the black color started to intertwine together. Although it had not completely fused together, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

    "En!" Fallen Demons were not easy to deal with. One would have to endure a lot of pain during the process, but just this pain was not something an ordinary person could endure. It had to be said that there were a lot of people who wanted to become a demon, but less than 10% of them could withstand this pain. And after becoming a demon, there weren''t many that could gain great power.

    Since ancient times, there had only been one Demoness who managed to obtain great power after falling into a trap. However, it was this one person who had caused countless people to fall into a frenzy. That person was the seventy-eighth Infernal King of Demon World. At that time, Demon World was known to be even stronger than The Divine Realm, and could be said to be at the peak of Demon World.

    Even if Xia Xuan''s meridian had the Infernal King''s bloodline, the chances of him obtaining powerful strength was still very small.

    Time passed extremely slowly, but the meridian''s blood was flowing very quickly. Even though the blood vessels had become entangled under the spiritual energy''s effects, there were still no signs of them fusing, and the two types of blood were not willing to merge.

    Sweat continuously flowed down Xia Xuan''s forehead as his veins bulged like earthworms, making him look very sinister.

    No matter who it was, they would all feel despair in their hearts. Even Xia Xuan was no exception, they were all wondering if they could survive this, and even if they could survive this, would they be able to obtain great power? Would they give up now?

    Just when the dissatisfaction arose in Xia Xuan''s heart, a scene appeared in his mind. It was the The Divine Realm shattering his soul, and he slowly descended towards the, but his heart was filled with unwillingness as he watched his leave. He, Deicide, would do anything for the The Divine Realm, but if the Celestial King wanted to treat him like this, he was unwilling to give up.

    Another image appeared in his mind. It was the Star Northern Emperor, within the Imperial Palace, Xia Cha was busy revising the imperial reports. Although the current Xia Xuan was still in his forties, his crown was slightly pale white.

    Xia Xuan was after all, Xia Cha''s son. In the near future, the The Divine King''s Mansion would definitely dispatch people to strangle him, and if he lacked strength, he would definitely be hanged by the The Divine King''s Mansion. At that time, even the Xing Bei Empire would not be able to avoid it. Whether it was for herself or for those whom he loved, Xia Xuan would never give up.

    Scenes appeared in his mind, including Wang Hao and the others, Flame Frost, Xia Cha, Jiao Ling and demon god.

    A surge of power came from an unknown place, and everything he had endured was nothing. A huge amount of spiritual energy surged out from Xia Xuan''s dantian, although the two bloodlines were still resisting, they were already showing signs of fusing.

    That kind of power was very warm, and when that power flowed within Xia Xuan''s body, the resistance between the two types of bloodline also disappeared. It was as if they had turned into two little bugs that were in love, and slowly became one.

    "Swish!" Xia Xuan suddenly opened his binocular and a beam of light shot out from within. The stone wall in front of him immediately collapsed.

    Xia Xuan clenched his hands, and felt the surging power within his body, and released the aura of a seventh stage Mystical King. After he had fallen into a trap, Xia Xuan had actually broken through the Sixth grade Profound King, and successfully reached the seventh stage of the Mystical King.

    Of course, for those who had succeeded in breaking through to a new level, it was not really that big of a deal, but that did not mean that Xia Xuan''s Fallen Devil was not worth it. Right now, he could feel that the blood in his body was flowing with a strong power, and what the Fallen Devil obtained was not a breakthrough of any rank, but an increase in the quality of his bloodline.

    "Shua!" A pair of magic wing s unfurled behind Xia Xuan without any warning, and then filled the air with demonic energy. Xia Xuan could be considered to be a Demon Dwellers now.

    "The quality of this magic wing is too good." When he was in his previous life as a Deicide, Xia Xuan had interacted with Demon Dwellers quite a few times, but he had never seen a magic wing of such high quality.

    "Brat, you have time to lament over your gains. Why don''t you hurry up and come out? You''ve been sitting here for half a month." Deicide''s voice suddenly sounded, scaring Xia Xuan. He did not expect time to fly by so quickly, and he only thought that he did not know how to sit there.

    "It''s time to come out of seclusion." Xia Xuan clapped his hands and stood up from the stone bed. He stretched his back lazily and a smile that could not be hidden appeared on his face.

 C197

    Chapter 197 - Xinxin City

    The sunlight today was especially bright. When Xia Xuan opened the stone door of the secret room, the first ray of sunlight shone onto Xia Xuan''s face, immediately causing Xia Xuan to cover the binocular.

    The moment Xia Xuan walked out of the secret room, the little Zheng ran over and knocked Xia Xuan down onto the ground. He kept licking his face with his tongue, making Xia Xuan giggle. Ever since Little Zheng successfully levelled up, he would no longer go crazy from leaving Xia Xuan. This made him feel a lot less worried.

    After being licked by the little Zheng for a long time, Xia Xuan finally pushed it away. Standing up, his gaze turned towards a large tree not far away, beneath which stood a slender and elegant figure.

    "You know how to come out." When the beautiful figure saw Xia Xuan looking over, all the elegance on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced with a grumbling face. In the past half month, Xia Xuan had completely handed over the matters of the Wasteland Society to her, completely tiring her out.

    A smile appeared on Xia Xuan''s face as he slowly walked in front of Yan Shuang. He rubbed Yan Shuang''s head and said with a gentle voice, "Thank you for your hard work."

    "It''s no trouble." Yan Shuang actually liked being rubbed on the head like this, this allowed him to truly feel that this brother was still the same as before, loving him so dearly.

    "Right." Yan Shuang suddenly thought of something, and said to Xia Xuan: "Expanding the territory is a little troublesome, I am going to go to the Time Mansion, but there is a city outside the desolation that is resisting it strongly, I am afraid that you will have to take action."

    "Go on. When you return, I will definitely attack that city." Xia Xuan nodded and said. As the Time God, Yan Shuang had her own residence. When the Time Mansion was in great danger, Yan Shuang would have to help him, so Xia Xuan did not try to force her to stay. Furthermore, Xia Xuan had just fallen into a trap, so he needed to find some people to train with his.

    "Take this. If you are in danger, crush it. I will immediately rush over." Yan Shuang handed an exquisite jade plate to Xia Xuan, then ripped open the space and disappeared.

    Xia Xuan looked at the jade medallion in his hand and couldn''t help but laugh. If he couldn''t even defeat a single city, how would he have the face to be the master of this desolation? As a man, it was impossible for Xia Xuan to crush a jade tablet.

    All of the sects that followed Xia Xuan were now led by the Stellar Martial Gate herself. Those sects that chose to leave the Hundred Desolate War Institution initially had the intention of resisting, but after Yan Shuang made her move, all of them left in a hurry. With a sister like Yan Shuang, it saved Xia Xuan a lot of time and effort.

    The city that Xia Xuan was attacking this time was named Zhao-Xin City, of all the cities, it was usually the most peaceful. It could be said that amongst the citizens, it was a peaceful place, and other cities thought that it was too peaceful, and would not last long in times of danger, but they never expected that under the assault of the desolation army, it would last the longest.

    Perhaps the lion is the strongest when he wakes up.

    This time, Xia Xuan did not bring too many troops with him. He only brought along the Black Kylin and Heaven Breaker of the Black Crows''s organization as his deputy generals.

    However, it was different when they were led by Xia Xuan, because the master of a realm was the king of this realm. If he could not even settle the issue of the king, then there was no need for the existence of this desolation.

    If he could, he naturally wouldn''t want to start a war. But in Xia Xuan''s opinion, if he didn''t become enemies with the The Divine Realm, Tian Lin would be destroyed sooner or later. The current him still vaguely remembered the Celestial King''s strange power.

    "Wuu ˇŞ ˇŞ" Xia Xuan and the rest were still more than ten Li away from Morning Star City, and the sounds of horns could be heard from there. One could vaguely see that on the Wall s in the capital, there were rows of Soldiers, and all of them held onto pike s, preparing for battle.

    "Where is the City Lord, Chao Feng?" A Soldiers in the army activated his spiritual energy and flew up to the sky above the heart city, shouting out to the city. The voice was carried by the spiritual energy and traveled very far, so that the entire city could hear it.

    "Your desolation is going too far, even if I am going to be destroyed in my heart, I will definitely make you lose a piece of your flesh." Not long after, an angry shout sounded out, and a figure of light rushed out explosively towards City Lord''s Mansion, instantly arriving in front of the Soldiers, grabbing him before the Soldiers could even react, and then fiercely throwing him towards Xia Xuan.

    The man named Chao Feng was very strong, he had already reached the level of seventh rank Xuan Lord, and before the Soldiers could even react, he was thrown out.

    Looking at the Soldiers that was ruthlessly thrown at him, Xia Xuan slowly reached out his hand. A wave of spiritual energy surged out and turned into a cushion to catch the Soldiers, and also to ensure that the Soldiers did not sustain too serious of an injury.

    "City Lord Chao Feng''s strength is indeed outstanding. I am truly impressed." When Xia Xuan was about a kilometer away from Chao Feng, he cupped his hands and said to him. Similarly, the voice was wrapped in spiritual energy, so Chao Feng could hear it very clearly.

    "You are the master of the desolation?" Chao Feng sized Xia Xuan up, after resisting the attacks of the desolation army several times, he had guessed that the next person to come would be the desolation Lord, and he had long heard that the desolation Lord was only at the Mystical King level, yet he was able to fight against several Xuanzun Warriors.

    "That''s right." Xia Xuan smiled, his hands behind his back.

    "Are you courting death for bringing so few people?" Chao Feng then shifted his gaze to the three hundred men behind Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan had assigned all of the Soldiers s with the strength of at least Mystical King, the number of people was still too small.

    "To be honest, I just want to make a bet with the Mayor." Xia Xuan said again.

    "What bet?" Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Chao Feng''s face was filled with suspicion.

    "I will compete with the lord of the imperial court, if you lose and enter the desolation, I can give the citizens of the imperial capital a peaceful living environment, and definitely do not require them to join the army. If I lose, the desolation will not attack the emperor, what about it?"

    This time, Chao Feng''s face was filled with surprise, regardless of whether he won or lost, it was always the best outcome for him to enter the heart city. After all, he had always been resisting the attacks of the desolation''s army towards the heart city, in order to protect his own peaceful life, and Xia Xuan''s condition had charmed him.

    "If you can keep your promise, I, Chao Feng, am willing to bet on this." Chao Feng nodded his head in the end, after which a strong wave of spiritual energy surged out of his body as he completely revealed the aura of his seventh rank Xuan Lord.

    "Don''t worry." Xia Xuan smiled slightly, then erupted with spiritual energy as well, just that his cultivation of a seventh stage Mystical King was not even worth mentioning in front of Chao Feng. But the spreading of a pair of devil wings behind Xia Xuan shocked him.

 C198

    Chapter 198 - Fighting Chao Feng

    "Demoness!" Looking at the pair of wings on Xia Xuan''s back, Chao Feng couldn''t help but cry out. Demoness wasn''t a rare sight, after all, there were many people that wanted to pursue strength who chose to become an Fallen Devil, but it was Chao Feng''s first time seeing such a pair of magic wing with such dense demonic energy.

    "Mayor, be careful." Xia Xuan did not care how surprised Chao Feng was by his own magic wing. The spiritual energy condensed in Xia Xuan''s hand and flowed around his body.

    The flash lightning was truly worthy of being a martial art stored within the Ares-class. Xia Xuan had merely trained it to the fourth stage, yet its speed had already reached such a level. Of course, there were also the reasons behind the magic wing''s support.

    With regards to Xia Xuan''s speed, even Chao Feng was shocked. Immediately, the spiritual energy condensed both of its hands and welcomed Xia Xuan''s incoming palm.

    boom * Both palms collided, and both of them instantly retreated dozens of meters. Xia Xuan clapped his hands, the smile on his face retracted, and a stern expression appeared on his face.

    Compared to Xia Xuan''s reaction, Chao Feng''s expression was more spirited. Previously, he was already shocked by Xia Xuan''s terrifyingly high quality magic wing.

    The reason why the extremely high level spiritual energy s were stronger than the low level was not only because there were a lot of them, but also because the high level s were even more concentrated. In the previous clash, Chao Feng discovered that although Xia Xuan was only a seventh stage Mystical King, his spiritual energy''s degree of refinement was not inferior to his at all.

    As the reincarnation of the Deicide, Xia Xuan naturally knew how important the refining of spiritual energy was. Thus, he would usually do his best to compress the spiritual energy during his training; otherwise, with his five hundred meridian, how could his cultivation speed be so slow. Furthermore, Xia Xuan would frequently look for items that could raise the level of refining of spiritual energy. In such a situation, Xia Xuan''s level of refining of spiritual energy was no weaker than a sixth stage Xuanzun expert.

    Chao Feng clenched his teeth, the binocular stared straight at Xia Xuan, of course he had received the news before, Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, and currently, the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had released was extremely refined, if he wanted to win he could only use his own strength, and that would be dragging it out.

    If they were to fight head on, with Deicide''s battle experience, Chao Feng would probably lose in less than twenty rounds. However, Xia Xuan had a fatal weakness, and that was that his quantity of spiritual energy was not as good as Chao Feng''s.

    Xia Xuan rubbed his hands together. Then, the spiritual energy surged and appeared in his hands in a flash, just that nine seals had been placed on the current flamethrower. If possible, Xia Xuan did not wish to rely too much on the divine instrument''s power.

    Holding the flamethrower, Xia Xuan disappeared once again. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Chao Feng.

    Chao Feng, who had decided to take off time, attacked again. He immediately activated his spiritual energy, but he did not want to clash with Xia Xuan head on. Instead, he retreated and dodged Xia Xuan''s attack.

    After discovering that Chao Feng had become more defensive, the corners of Xia Xuan''s mouth couldn''t help but rise slightly. If he really had to compare the amount of spiritual energy with Xia Xuan''s, Xia Xuan would naturally be unable to do so, but don''t forget, there were over five hundred meridian in Xia Xuan''s body. So many meridian that were not deliberately activated yet they would still absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it could be said that the recovery speed of Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy was something that ordinary people would not be able to imagine.

    With five hundred meridian as a trump card, Xia Xuan would not hold back against his own spiritual energy. The silver snake continued to swirl around his body crazily as it chased closely after Chao Feng.

    The fight in the sky was very exciting. Although Xia Xuan''s attacks were extremely sharp and fierce, Chao Feng was still a seventh rank Xuan Lord after all. When a seventh rank Xuan Lord defended at full strength, even Xia Xuan would be unable to break through it in a short period of time.

    Very quickly, fifteen minutes had passed, regardless of whether it was the three hundred Soldiers s brought over by Xia Xuan or the people from the imperial city, all of them were stunned. In this quarter-hour, Xia Xuan and Chao Feng had already gone from one side of the heart city to the other. The flamethrower had several opportunities to stab Chao Feng, but they were all dangerously dodged by Chao Feng.

    Sweat beaded on Chao Feng''s forehead and his clothes had long been drenched with it. In this quarter of an hour, his evaluation of Xia Xuan couldn''t help but once again rise to a new level.

    Logically speaking, with such a violent attack, a normal seventh stage Mystical King should have already used up all of his spiritual energy, but Chao Feng discovered that the spiritual energy inside his body was only about ten percent less, so his recovery speed was definitely faster than expected.

    Furthermore, Chao Feng was still puzzled in his heart. In the earlier violent attacks, Xia Xuan had many opportunities to defeat him, but Xia Xuan had held back, so what did Teenage want to do?

    What Chao Feng did not know was that Xia Xuan actually wanted to take the entire capital into his desolation. Amongst the dozens of cities that the desolation army was attacking, there were a few that were stubbornly resisting. To persevere to this point, it was not because of strength, but rather, it was because all the citizens of the capital were united. For desolation, who had just started growing, this kind of city that only had a heart of a people was extremely needed.

    Ping. Chao Feng who had been defending suddenly used his strength and forced Xia Xuan to retreat. However, Chao Feng did not pursue him.

    "No need to fight, I''ve lost." After putting away the pike, Chao Feng cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan. Knowing that his opponent had a recovery speed of a spiritual energy and was holding back, Chao Feng no longer had any desire to fight. He had already lost, completely lost.

    "Admit it." Seeing that Chao Feng had admitted defeat, Xia Xuan kept his flamethrower and cupped his hands in greeting.

    Chao Feng did not reply Xia Xuan, but waved his hand, and started to float towards Heart City. On the contrary, there was a smile on his face, maybe there would be a better future for him to join the desolation, as the master of the desolation had countless of possibilities.

    In the end, Qianxin City joined the desolation, but Xia Xuan did not make any requests of him, nor did his request change. Instead, it was the desolation that provided protection for him, which made Chao Feng exclaim in his heart that Xia Xuan was upright.

    After settling the matter with the imperial city, Xia Xuan led his three hundred men back to the Martial City. When everyone found out that Xia Xuan had only brought three hundred Soldiers to attack the imperial city, they were speechless, this Sector lord seemed to be a little too valiant.

    With regards to this trip to Xinxin City, Xia Xuan was also very satisfied, now that Xia Xuan had recognised his battle situation, even if he were to fight against a of the eighth stage, he would have a 70% chance of winning, and that was without him relying on his divine instrument.

 C199

    Chapter 199 - Another engagement

    Within the Stellar Martial Gate, not long after Xia Xuan returned, he was summoned to the Stellar Martial Gate, it was said that he had matters to discuss with them.

    When Xia Xuan came to the Hall, there were already many people there. Those people were once the elders and Sect Leader s of the various super sects, and now, they held a high position in the desolation. And since the flame frost had already returned, it seemed that Xia Xuan''s speed was still not fast enough.

    The moment Xia Xuan came into the great hall, everyone''s gazes turned towards him. Under the attentive gazes of everyone, Xia Xuan sat at the head of the hall.

    "Xuan''er, do you know why I called you here?" Not long after Xia Xuan sat down, Xia Muning who was seated in the palace spoke out.

    "I don''t know why." Xia Xuan had a very respectful attitude towards Xia Muning. If there was a day that Xia Muning wanted to become a Sector lord, Xia Xuan would definitely give it up obediently.

    "Is there a little girl called Miao Linger in your Black Crows?" Xia Muning did not say it directly, but asked indirectly.

    Xia Xuan immediately knew what Xia Muning wanted to say. The current desolation was not a person of the desolation, and since he was from the Cold City, and the Cold City was not far away, there was a need to discuss carefully whether or not to attack the Cold City, and how to attack the Cold City.

    "Don''t worry, I will take care of the matters regarding Cold City." Although Miao Linger was a member of the Black Crows, that did not mean that the Cold City would be willing to join them. Because of Miao Linger''s existence, it was inconvenient for Xia Xuan to attack the Cold City, and the Cold City''s Suo Jia was not a soft persimmon.

    After discussing some of the problems that had recently occurred with the desolation s in the Main Palace, Xia Xuan dismissed everyone. When Xia Xuan walked out of the Main Palace, he coincidentally saw Miao Linger standing outside the Main Palace.

    "How do you plan to settle the matters with the Cold City?" Miao Linger asked Xia Xuan the moment she saw him.

    "Language is the most beautiful civilization in Homo sapiens. If you want to know how to solve it, then come with me." Xia Xuan slightly smiled, and then directly walked into the distance.

    Since he could not use force, then the best way would naturally be to negotiate. If he could persuade Suo Jia to join the desolation, then naturally, he would not be afraid of the Cold City not surrendering.

    There were many cities outside the desolation, and because these cities were close to the wastelands, there were basically no territories that would manage them, and in this kind of chaotic city, it was usually extremely chaotic. In this kind of chaotic environment, it would always stimulate one''s potential, thus the people inside these cities were generally not weak, some were not even weaker than the super sects back in the desolation.

    The Cold City was a relatively powerful city near the desolation. Within the city, there was a family called the Suo Jia, which currently had eight resident masters, and these eight stayed in the same house as the eight brothers. The eight of them had teamed up together to defeat a half-step Mysterious Sect Ranker, and as a result, the Suo Jia became an existence that no one in a hundred miles radius could defeat.

    During this time of war, the Cold City was the only city that did not change its position.

    Today, the Cold City was especially strange. The city gates were completely open, and all the patriarchs of the large families of the Cold City were fighting at the city gates, as if they were waiting for someone.

    Of course, the only one who could make all the patriarchs of the various families of Cold City greet them was the mysterious Lord of desolation.

    The atmosphere of the desolation today was especially solemn. Countless people curiously watched from outside the Wall, wanting to see the respected appearance of the famous master of the desolation.

    After waiting for a long time, they still did not see the slightest shadow. Just when everyone was wondering if the desolation was coming, the space not far away was suddenly torn apart and a space tunnel appeared.

    The tearing space had to be at least at the Profound Master realm. It was likely that only those abnormal Rankers who had opened the Gate of Two Elements would be able to create such a space tunnel. The hand of the desolation Lord was enough to shock everyone.

    Three figures slowly walked out from the space tunnel, led by a man dressed in black. Although the man was slightly skinny, he gave off a very spirited feeling, especially the Demon Qi around his body, which seemed to be even more eye-catching.

    Of course, everyone''s eyes were not focused on Xia Xuan, but the flame frost beside Xia Xuan was their true focus. His extremely beautiful appearance and alluring figure was something that countless people drooled over. In comparison, Miao Linger felt like he didn''t exist at all.

    Walking out of the space tunnel, Xia Xuan saw the shocked expressions of the people around him and couldn''t help but nod his head in satisfaction. The method that Yan Shuang used to rip apart the space tunnel was something that Xia Xuan had purposely planned for the sake of intimidating the people in the Cold City.

    Upon seeing Xia Xuan and the other two, all the patriarchs surrounded them immediately, as a string of pleasantries sounded out.

    Xia Xuan barely managed to cope with the formalities for a moment, before his gaze immediately turned towards the three people leading the crowd. Among them, Xia Xuan even recognized one of them as Suo Balang, while the other two were likely to be the other two of the Suo Jia''s eight brothers.

    The three Suo Jia brothers did not go forward to greet Xia Xuan. Instead, they directly walked in front of Miao Linger and greeted him warmly, as if they did not care about her feelings.

    The three Suo Jia brothers naturally knew Xia Xuan''s goal for ripping the space tunnel apart, so ignoring Xia Xuan was also a form of provocation towards him. Of course, only the Suo Jia and her brothers would dare to provoke him.

    "Little Brother Xia Xuan, why don''t we go in and chat?" Suo Balang came in front of Xia Xuan and cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan.

    Although he wanted to provoke Xia Xuan a bit, he would not overdo it. After all, Xia Xuan was here to chat, and he still needed to be courteous.

    "Then please lead the way, senior." Xia Xuan was also very respectful to Xia Xuan and immediately smiled.

    As the strongest family in the Cold City, the Suo Jia occupied nearly two-thirds of the territory in the family. Upon entering the Cold City, one could immediately see the tall buildings in the center of the city. Under the guidance of the three Suo Jia brothers, Xia Xuan and the other two quickly reached the Suo Jia.

    Amongst the Suo Jia, there were three knife-wielding men waiting. These three were the other three of the eight brothers of Suo Jia.

    Among the six brothers, Suo Balang''s strength was the weakest, being a third grade Xuanzun. The other five brothers had two Fourth rank Xuan Lord, one fifth grade, one sixth grade and one seventh rank Xuan Lord. Most importantly, the eldest and second brother of the eight brothers were not here.

    "Brother Xia Xuan, please come in." The three brothers who were waiting immediately came over when they saw Xia Xuan and greeted him respectfully.

    The group went straight to the Suo Jia''s Procedural Hall, where everyone sat down and brought cups of tea over.

    "Little Brother Xia Xuan should be here to persuade me." Right now, the big brother and second brother of the Suo Jia were not present, and the one seated at the head of the hall was the third brother. Just as he took a sip of his tea, Suo Sanlang spoke to Xia Xuan.

    "It cannot be called persuasion, I am only hoping that Suo Jia will join the desolation." Xia Xuan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said respectfully to Suo Sanlang.

    "To be honest, it isn''t hard to get my Suo Jia to join desolation, as long as Little Brother Xia Xuan can make an engagement with my Suo Jia." Suo Sanlang was not someone who would beat around the bush, and immediately said.

    Chapter 200 - Knife Techniques

    Hearing what Suo Sanlang said, Xia Xuan''s brow couldn''t help but frown. He clearly saw that when Suo Sanlang was speaking, his gaze couldn''t help but turn towards Miao Linger who was at the side.

    Xia Xuan was naturally able to guess what Suo Sanlang meant. He hoped that Miao Linger could make a marriage contract with him, so that when the desolation becomes stronger, he could rely on this relationship to reach a certain height.

    It had to be known that the strength of an entire realm was extremely strong. Although the current desolation was not powerful, once the desolation grew up, a mere eight Suo Jia s would naturally have no power or power.

    "Senior, you should know my identity as the Deicide, right? I cannot betray the demon god." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Suo Sanlang and said, the words he said were extremely decisive, in short, he could not agree to this marriage.

    "Humph!" What''s going on with the Ten Thousand Rock Country''s Jiao Ling? " Suo Sanlang obviously had an investigation on Xia Xuan, so he brought out Jiao Ling.

    "This ˇ­" Hearing Suo Sanlang''s words, Xia Xuan didn''t know how to respond. After all, he had an engagement with Jiao Ling, and he had promised to marry Jiao Ling back then.

    "Who doesn''t have three concubines and four concubines? I believe that little brother Xia Xuan is not that old-fashioned. " Suo Sanlang said as he picked up the teacup, with the teacup''s lid, he lightly scratched on it a few times, and then took a sip of the tea.

    Even though Xia Xuan already had ten thousand years of memories, when Xia Xuan was in his previous life, he had never interacted with anyone too much. He was basically touring the mountains and rivers everyday, and when necessary, he would take care of a few of the The Divine Realm''s enemies.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze could not help but think of Miao Linger and Yan Shuang turning over, and just happened to see the furious Yan Shuang and the little red face Miao Linger. He immediately took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and a hint of determination surged in his eyes.

    "Senior, this junior cannot agree to this request." Xia Xuan said to Suo Sanlang, shocking everyone.

    "Humph!" Suo Sanlang had obviously anticipated Xia Xuan''s answer, he snorted and said, "I heard that Little Brother Xia Xuan and Chao Feng made a bet not too long ago, I wonder if you''re still in the mood to make a bet with my Suo Jia?"

    "Oh, what bet?" Xia Xuan asked curiously.

    "You and I will not use the spiritual energy, and will completely compete in blade techniques. If you win, my Suo Jia will unconditionally join the desolation, and if I win, you will establish this marriage with my daughter, and my Suo Jia will continue to join the desolation." Suo Sanlang spoke very straightforwardly, making it clear that the Suo Jia would join the Hundred Wastelands. However, he, the Suo Jia, had a marriage contract.

    Xia Xuan could not help but marvel at Suo Sanlang''s craftiness once again. Suo Sanlang naturally knew that Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, if they were to compete in actual combat, other than Suo Dalong, no one in the Suo Jia would be a match for Xia Xuan. Furthermore, if he did not use spiritual energy s, his Suo Jia''s blade techniques thought that no one in the entire desolation could match up to him, and that was to use one''s strength to attack the enemy.

    "Alright." Xia Xuan was also a straightforward person, in the eyes of others, the Suo Jia''s blade techniques were invincible, but Xia Xuan was also not a soft persimmon. In his previous life, he had a deep friendship with the Martial God, and Xia Xuan who often competed with the Martial God, knew that his blade techniques were not something ordinary people could compare with. He had once created his own set of blade technique in the The Divine Realm.

    Suo Jia has a special place specially provided for disciples to practice their blades. Usually, there would always be disciples training their blades here, so the clashing of their weapons was the most beautiful sound that could be heard here. But today, the entire arena was abnormally quiet, because there were two major powers dueling each other with sabers.

    There were no longer any disciples present, only two people holding blades. There were no signs of any spiritual energy on their bodies, but their auras were not weak at all. Just standing there made one feel suffocated.

    "Please advise me." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said to Suo Sanlang, after that, he turned the large knife in his hand and rushed towards Suo Sanlang.

    Although Xia Xuan did not use the spiritual energy, his physical strength was more than ten times stronger than ordinary people. Very quickly, Xia Xuan arrived in front of Suo Balang. With a turn of the large knife in his hand, he swiped towards Suo Sanlang from an extremely tricky angle.

    "Geng!" Just as the large knife in Xia Xuan''s hand was a few inches away from Suo Sanlang, Suo Sanlang suddenly shouted out explosively. Then, with a fierce wave of the large knife in his hand, the large knife that Xia Xuan brandished out was blasted away, and the large knife in Suo Sanlang''s hand was even swung towards Xia Xuan.

    It had to be said that the Suo Jia''s blade technique was very strong. If Xia Xuan''s blade was used by another blade user, even if she did not die, he would still be severely injured. However, Suo Sanlang only used it to dissolve a single strike, and she could still counterattack.

    Just as the large knife in Suo Sanlang''s hand was about to pierce Xia Xuan''s neck, he saw that Xia Xuan''s body had suddenly become lower, and both of his legs were actually half-bent. This way, Xia Xuan would be able to dodge Suo Sanlang''s large knife, and his body would even rush towards Suo Sanlang.

    In the next moment, the surrounding people were all stunned. Xia Xuan, who had dodged Suo Sanlang''s attack, quickly arrived in front of Suo Sanlang, then fiercely smashed the handle of the large knife onto Suo Sanlang''s abdomen, directly knocking him down onto the ground.

    Without the spiritual energy''s defense, Suo Sanlang''s defensive power was not much better than a normal person''s. When the large knife''s sword in Xia Xuan''s hand hit his stomach, he was in unbearable pain.

    Xia Xuan carried the large knife on his shoulder, and looked at Suo Sanlang who was sprawled on the ground because of the pain, with a proud expression on his face. Although the Suo Jia''s sword techniques were strong, in terms of battle experience, Xia Xuan was not inferior to anyone.

    "Admit it." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said to Suo Sanlang.

    "Wait, it''s not over yet." Suo Sanlang crawled up from the ground, the gingiva bit hard, the binocular stared straight at Xia Xuan.

    "Hmph." Xia Xuan looked at Suo Sanlang and could not help but laugh, but he did not look down on Suo Sanlang at all. The large knife clenched its fists again, ready to fight at any moment.

    "Suo Jia''s blade technique, Eight Character Formula!" Just as Suo Sanlang regained hherbalance, she let out a loud shout. The large knife in his hands trembled, and she immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    "Berserk Blade Art." Xia Xuan wasn''t afraid in the slightest. With a fanatical expression on his face, he directly went to meet Suo Sanlang.

    As for Xia Xuan and Suo Sanlang, they did not stop either. The moment the two large knife clashed, the two of them brandished the large knife in their hands, and the others could only see the two large knife frantically dancing, as though they were crazy.

    He could see that the ground around the two of them was covered with scars from the strong winds brought by the large knife. It was hard to imagine how the two of them could survive if they used their spiritual energy.

    "Awesome!" Xia Xuan frantically waved the large knife in his hands. There was not a single trace of weariness on his face, but instead a hint of excitement. It was unknown how long it had been since he had fought against others.

 C201

    Chapter 201 - The First Coming to the Dragon Emperor

    The current Suo Sanlang had a look of shock on his face, he had never thought that Xia Xuan''s blade technique was actually so superb. Looking at it, Xia Xuan saw that Xia Xuan was only crazily brandishing his blade, but in reality, every single slash was extremely tricky, just to defend against Xia Xuan''s attacks, Suo Sanlang had already used all his strength.

    Suo Sanlang naturally did not know that what Xia Xuan had displayed was his own self-created blade technique. It was a strong large knife technique that had once even given the Martial God a headache, and when he used this kind of blade technique, he would become more and more crazy.

    Sweat trickled down Suo Sanlang''s forehead. It seems that this engagement couldn''t be made today.

    BOOM! Under Xia Xuan''s crazy attacks, Suo Sanlang was finally unable to withstand the power that was continuously hacking down and knelt on the ground.

    After beating Suo Sanlang to the point of him kneeling on the ground, Xia Xuan finally stopped. With a turn of his body, the large knife was carried on his back, and he leapt a distance away from Suo Sanlang.

    "Senior, I admit it." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Suo Sanlang and said, his face was expressionless, compared to Xia Xuan who was frantically attacking previously, he was like a completely different person.

    The battle between the two actually did not last long. Even though there were many moves, in the eyes of others, they had only been sparring for a few minutes, but in these few minutes, the renowned Suo Jia Sanlang had been completely defeated by Xia Xuan.

    During the short confrontation, every move was filled with the experience of many years of battle. These few minutes of battle were something that the two had comprehended only after countless years of life and death battles.

    "Clap clap." A round of applause suddenly rang out. When people looked towards the direction of the sound, they saw two people floating in the sky. The leader was a bald man who appeared to be in his twenties. His thick eyebrows made him look very energetic. The person applauding was the bald man.

    Beside the man was a tall and strong man. tall and strong man had his hands folded across his chest with a ferocious look on his face.

    Seeing these two, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile slightly. The Suo Jia Da Lang and Er Lang were respectively Ninth and Eighth Grade Xuanzun experts. It could be said that the two of them were the pillar of Suo Jia.

    "Greetings, seniors." Xia Xuan cupped his hands to the two people in the sky and said.

    "Senior what? I''m afraid your real age is already over a hundred thousand years." The bald Suo Dalang also laughed.

    In the Suo Jia, Xia Xuan and Suo Da Lang talked alone for a long time, and finally came to a decision. The Cold City had joined the desolation, but Xia Xuan and Xia Xuan did not set a marriage agreement, and Xia Xuan''s conditions for the Cold City were the same as those in the capital city.

    After settling the matters in the imperial heart city, Xia Xuan brought Yan Shuang and Miao Linger back to the Martial City.

    A martial city, and Yan Shuang was stunned. Xia Xuan saw that Yan Shuang''s face had a serious expression, and his eyes were fixated in the distance.

    Following the direction that Flaming Shuang was looking, a ball of light was slowly flying towards them.

    She stretched out her hand and the ball of light dispersed the moment it touched her hand. Then, a message was sent into her mind. After reading the message, she couldn''t help but frown and mutter, "As expected."

    "What''s wrong?" As Xia Xuan looked at the tightly creased eyebrows of Yan Shuang, he could vaguely guess what had happened.

    "Brother, we might have to make a trip back to the sect." Yan Shuang looked at Xia Xuan and said solemnly.

    Time was still not enough. Xia Xuan originally wanted to rely on his own strength to protect the Xing Bei Empire, but now, it seemed that he could only go to the sect for help.

    As one of the seven great clans, although the Shafts was not as strong as the The Divine King''s Mansion, he still had the ability to protect a small empire. Of course, this was on the premise that they were willing to help.

    "Ling''er, tell my aunt that Shuang''er and I will be going to the Shafts. You two take care of the desolation well." Xia Xuan said to Miao Linger before he and Yan Shuang looked at each other. Another crack in space was ripped open by the flame frost, and Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang stepped straight into the space tunnel.

    Xia Xuan did not want to use the desolation''s power. The current desolation was still in the process of development, so if he wanted to make an enemy of the The Divine King''s Mansion, he would inevitably suffer greatly. The desolation was the capital for Xia Xuan to become an enemy of the The Divine Realm, so before the desolation developed, Xia Xuan did not want to use the power of the desolation.

    The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was a super empire that took up an area of half the Human Realm. Within this empire, there were three great clans of the Human Realm, and it could be said that a single Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was stronger than thousands of empires in the entire Human Realm combined.

    A spatial crack appeared at the borders of Dragon Imperial City and from within the space tunnel, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang slowly walked out.

    Standing on the peak of the mountain, Xia Xuan gazed at the large Wall that was surrounding the entire Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom and could not help but sigh. In her previous life, when she was still a Deicide, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang were both from the Shafts.

    "Let''s go." Xia Xuan said, and then walked towards the Wall.

    The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom possesses an extremely strong national power and the entire Empire is surrounded by Wall. If you want to enter the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, you must be inspected. If you want to enter the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom by force, you must first be captured by the army.

    They arrived outside a city gate and saw a long line of people waiting to enter the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom. Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang also lined up obediently.

    Just as Xia Xuan was lining up quietly, a group of big sized men walked in front of Xia Xuan and squeezed in front of him.

    The bodies of these brawny man were all extremely sturdy, and were a few heads taller than Xia Xuan. Even though Xia Xuan was not very old, he was still quite tall. Not only were these brawny man tall, their auras were also not weak either. All of them were unexpectedly Xuanhuang experts, and even if these brawny man tried to force their way through the line, no one dared to say anything.

    Xia Xuan was startled, there was actually someone who dared to cut in line these days. Moreover, they were openly teasing Yan Shuang, how could Xia Xuan endure this kind of thing.

    "Bro, this isn''t good, right?" Xia Xuan patted the shoulders of the big sized man in front of him and said.

    The big sized man looked at Xia Xuan impatiently, and then used a plain voice to speak: "You are just a little Mystical King, so what if I interrupted your party?" With that, the brawny man turned around. In the eyes of ordinary people, Xia Xuan was just a small Mystical King. In this world which followed the law of strength, the weak could only be slaughtered by others.

    Xia Xuan was truly angry, but he did not express it on his face. On his face, there was still a hint of a smile, in the eyes of the people around, Xia Xuan was just a coward who could only swallow his anger after being bullied.

    Suddenly, a hand grabbed brawny man''s shoulder. Just when brawny man could not help but want to teach this ignorant fellow a lesson, a wave of spiritual energy suddenly rushed into his body, the spiritual energy forced its way into his meridian, and immediately sealed off brawny man''s entire body. Then, Xia Xuan fiercely used his strength to pinch brawny man, causing him to immediately let out a cry of pain.

 C202

    Chapter 202 - Goodbye Heaven Shaking Flower

    "Ah!" immediately cried out when he was pressed on by Xia Xuan. When brawny man instinctively tried to activate his spiritual energy defense, he discovered that his veins had already been sealed, making it impossible for him to activate his spiritual energy.

    Without the defense of the spiritual energy, no matter if you were a god or a human, you were just a Homo sapiens with a strong body. Under such circumstances, the brawny man''s shoulder was immediately crushed, and the sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.

    However, before they could even hit Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan''s figure had already disappeared in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already behind the brawny man s, and with both of his hands on the shoulders of the two brawny man s, he once again sealed their tendons and veins. After that, he used a lot of force and crushed the two''s bones.

    Another two miserable shrieks rang out, and two brawny man s collapsed onto the ground from the pain.

    The two remaining brawny man s looked at their fallen comrades and couldn''t help but swallow their Saliva. The strength of this Teenage in front of them seemed to have exceeded their imagination.

    When the surrounding people saw this scene, they couldn''t help but feel greatly shocked. Xia Xuan was obviously just a single Mystical King, why did the five Mystical King s in his hands lose three in an instant?

    "Kid, you are in trouble. We are from the Mountain Shifting Tribe. The Mountain Shifting Tribe will not let you get away with this." One of the remaining two big men took out a jade tablet and said to Xia Xuan.

    When the surrounding people heard about the Mountain Shifting Tribe, they were also greatly shocked, and looked at Xia Xuan with pitying gazes.

    It was said that the founder of this family was a Profound Master Ranker. That Ranker did not use spiritual energy s, but only relied on his body to lift a huge mountain over thirty thousand meters high, thus the people who move this mountain gate basically specialized in training their body.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan was not moved at all, he snorted and said, "Shuang Er, take your clan plate."

    "Yes." Yan Shuang gave a light grunt, and a jade tablet appeared in her hand. The blood-red word on the jade tablet was particularly eye-catching.

    "Shafts Clan Elder Yu Ran, we are out on official business." Yan Shuang raised the jade token. With the spiritual energy surrounding her voice, everyone around could hear her clearly.

    What Yan Shuang took out was not her clan plate, but the Xia Xuan jade plate from her previous life. Deicide''s real name was Yu Ran.

    "What!?" Elder Shafts! " When the two brawny man s heard what Yan Shuang said, they were so surprised that their mouths could not even close. What kind of existence was the Shafts, one of the seven great clans, one of the masters of the Human Realm. Even the disciples of the ordinary Shafts were not someone that the Mountain Shifting Tribe dared to provoke, let alone the Mountain Shifting Tribe''s elders.

    No, you little Mystical King are qualified to be an Elder of Shafts, I think you must have stolen this jade tablet, once I catch you, you can go to Shafts and receive my rewards. A brawny man who looked to be in a daze thought for a moment, and suddenly shouted out loud. He then activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    "Ai, stupid." After that, he waved his hand fiercely and a wave of spiritual energy s rushed towards brawny man. That brawny man still believed that Xia Xuan was only a Mystical King, to be able to defeat three of their comrades, it was all a sneak attack, if he wanted to fight it head on, he did not believe that his own cultivation at the seventh stage of Xuanhuang would not be able to compete with Xia Xuan''s.

    Without any dodging, brawny man raised his sandbag sized fist and threw it towards the spiritual energy that was rushing towards him.

    "Bang!" An explosion rang, and the brawny man flew out. Under Xia Xuan''s attack, the Xuanhuang level brawny man was actually unable to retaliate at all.

    With one move, Xia Xuan sent the brawny man flying, then turned his gaze towards the brawny man who had taken out the jade medallion before. With a smile on his face, he asked with a very gentle voice: "What about you?"

    In his eyes, the smile on Xia Xuan''s face was not kind at all, but instead revealed a hint of killing intent. Only now did he understand, that the people who expressed their feelings on their face were not scary, but the people who smiled when they were angry, and were scary, were monsters as they squinted their eyes.

    Xia Xuan was very satisfied with brawny man''s reaction, he turned around and walked out of the city gate. Seeing that, the surrounding people immediately gave way, a Shafts elder, who dared to make him line up.

    Regarding this situation, Xia Xuan felt a little helpless, but he still walked out, towards the city.

    In the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Xuan did not dare to let Yan Shuang tear open the space. Although the Human Realm was being enslaved by the The Divine Realm, there were still many experts in the The Divine Realm and as the younger sister of the Deicide, Yan Shuang''s every move was being watched.

    After entering the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang immediately turned and flew far away from the spiritual energy, maintaining a low altitude. With Xia Xuan''s strength, it would be difficult for him to fly across the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, especially since the Shafts was located in the center of the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.

    That night, in a forest, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang gathered around a bonfire, quietly watching the meat being roasted over the fire. Xia Xuan could not help but think of the dishes Li Le had cooked.

    Sha sha sha! Suddenly, a rustling sound came out, and Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang''s gaze landed on the grass by the side.

    Two big men came out from the bushes. The moment the two came out of the grass, they spoke respectfully to Xia Xuan: "May I ask if this is Mr. Xia Xuan?"

    "Yeah." As soon as I heard what the two were talking about, my face filled with curiosity. I didn''t know which acquaintance I had come across.

    Xia Xuan did not push them and immediately let them lead the way. Then, he followed the two of them and left.

    After walking for a short while, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang followed the two Zhang Han to the summit. At this time, there was only a man wearing an embroidered robe on the mountain peak.

    "Heaven Shaking Flower ˇ­" Xia Xuan looked at his back, although he could not see his face, Xia Xuan was still able to recognize him, it was the Heaven Shaking Flower that he met at the Hundred Hero Competition.

    When he saw the eye cream beside Xia Xuan, the smile on his face instantly disappeared and was replaced with a look of reverence. Zhen Tian Hua knelt on the ground with a flop, and said to the eye cream with extreme respect, "I greet the Time God."

    Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang looked at each other and couldn''t help but laugh. This Heaven Shaking Flower really came at the right time, the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom royals would usually bring along something that could travel between different cities. It was something that was created by a strong warrior from the royal family, and for the current Xia Xuan, that was exactly what he needed.

 C203

    Chapter 203 - Shafts

    "Get up." Yan Shuang''s impression of Zhentian Hua was like that of an ordinary person''s. Seeing Zhentian Hua greet her, Yan Shuang said expressionlessly.

    Zhentian Hua stood up and turned to look at Xia Xuan, a hint of admiration in his eyes. To be able to have an expert like Yan Shuang by his side, wasn''t that also a skill? Of course, Zhen Tian Hua did not know that Xia Xuan was Yan Shuang''s brother.

    "Brother Tian Hua, why are you here?" Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said to Zhentian Hua, towards Zhentian, Xia Xuan had a good impression of him. Although Zhentian was a member of the royal family, he did not have any arrogance, and furthermore, he was a straightforward person, who had a chivalrous personality, Xia Xuan liked.

    "I have received the sect''s mission and am now preparing to return to the sect." Zhentian Hua replied with a bow.

    "Brother Tianhua, do you still have six pieces of jade?" Xia Xuan was not a shy person, and asked immediately.

    "I have plenty of the Six Paths of Jade. Brother Xia, just take it out." As he said that, Zhentian Hua took out a piece of black jade. This jade was as black as a black hole, before even touching it, Xia Xuan could feel the strong power of space inside.

    "Then we''ll have Brother Xie Tianhua on our side." Xia Xuan cupped his hands in thanks to Zhentian and then looked at Yan Shuang, wanting to crush the black jade.

    "Brother Xia, aren''t you going to enjoy such a beautiful scenery?" Zhen Tian Hua saw that Xia Xuan was about to leave, and said immediately.

    "No, I still have something important to do." As Xia Xuan spoke, he crushed the black jade in his hand, and the space around the black jade shattered. This space tunnel was very calm, it did not have any tearing power in space, unlike the black jade which was torn apart by the array formation that was used by the Black Crows during battles, this space tunnel was free for anyone to pass through.

    "Right, which race did you join?" Just as Xia Xuan wanted to step into the space tunnel s, he suddenly remembered that he did not know which sect or clan Zhentian joined, and immediately asked.

    "I have joined the Shafts. Compared to the many courtesies of the Imperial Family, I think the morals of the Shafts is better." As he spoke, a hint of longing flashed across Zhentian''s eyes. It was obvious that Zhentian was very satisfied with Shafts.

    Xia Xuan was startled, but he did not say much. He immediately stepped into the space tunnel and disappeared along with Yan Shuang.

    space tunnel was actually a passageway connecting two spaces. space tunnel created by the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom Royal Family with six jades could travel through half of the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, so the distance was just right for Xia Xuan.

    "Swish", a spatial crack suddenly appeared. Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang walked out from it.

    This was actually a busy city, with many people passing by, but the people around were not surprised by Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang''s actions. Although the Six Paths of Jade was created by the royal family, it was sold to the public. As long as your family was rich, you could still use the Six Paths of Jade.

    One could see that from time to time, a few space tunnel would open their doors and come out. It was just that these space tunnel were all dressed in tattered clothes and were clearly rich families.

    After walking out of the space tunnel, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but sigh. In the future, after so many years, he didn''t expect that the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom would have such a huge change.

    After determining the direction, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang finally walked towards the distance.

    "Bang!" Before Xia Xuan could get far, a * bang * sound rang out, attracting Xia Xuan''s attention.

    There were three groups of people not far away. From their clothes, it could be seen that these three groups came from three different sects, and they were all famous sects.

    Among them was a group of people dressed in blue robes with the picture of an ice phoenix engraved on it. This was the clothing of one of the seven great clans, the Sea Phoenix Clan. There was also a group of people wearing light yellow clothes with the patterns of mammoths on them. These were also the clothes of one of the seven great clans, the Kuang Xiang Sect.

    These two groups were obviously in the same group. At this moment, these two groups were besieging another group of people. Those people were dressed in blood-red clothes, and there were no patterns on them, but their color was as deep as real blood.

    Seeing this group of people, Xia Xuan''s binocular s could not help but light up. These clothes could not be more familiar to him, it was the Shafts uniform he designed.

    "Don''t push it too far." Among Shafts''s group was a young man who was around twenty years old. However, the young man was injured, and the voice just now was the same voice he used when he was being beaten.

    "Humph!" We were just exchanging pointers. I didn''t expect you to be so weak, who can be blamed? " Among the group of people from the Kuang Xiang Sect was brawny man, who was eight feet tall. When this brawny man heard what the Shafts said, he could not help but sneer.

    "That''s right. No matter what, your Shafts is still one of the seven great clans. The leader of the Sea Phoenix Clan was a woman with an enchanting figure. She wore a qipao, and when she walked, her body constantly twisted, making countless onlookers salivate.

    The man leading the Shafts could not help but bite hard. Previously, it was clear that these two groups of people teamed up against him, but now they were talking about fighting each other. If it was a fair fight, the man was not afraid of anyone, but the strength of these two groups was not much weaker than theirs.

    "Huang Yue, aren''t you afraid of upsetting the relationship between our three races by acting like this?" The man gritted his teeth until it creaked, a few words came out from between his teeth.

    "Humph!" Luo Min, have you been beaten stupid? At most, it''s just a small fight between juniors, it''s not enough to form a relationship with the three Xiang Clans. " Hearing what the man called Huang Yue said, the man couldn''t help but sneer. Since they dared to take the initiative and stir trouble, naturally, there was someone supporting them from behind. Although the man named Luo Min was strong, he was still too immature towards politics.

    "Creak." The sound of Luo Min''s gingiva biting down could clearly be heard, at this time, Luo Min''s face was flushed red from anger, the veins on his face throbbing, making him look extremely sinister.

    Ever since Deicide had fallen, the Shafts s of the seven great clans had been pushed aside by the other six clans. Because the Human Realm s were still enslaved by the The Divine Realm, the Shafts s of the seven great clans were just like the enemies of the other six clans. Although the strength of the Shafts was still very strong among the seven Great Clans, they still couldn''t win in numbers.

    "Shouldn''t there be some sort of conflict between juniors?" Suddenly, a lazy voice came out, when everyone turned to look at the origin of the voice, they saw a Teenage and a lady slowly walking over. The man was dressed in black, and his body was slightly skinny.

    Beside the man was a golden-haired girl, her looks could even be described as devastatingly beautiful, it was none other than Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang. Xia Xuan''s face did not reveal any expression, but he could feel a strong killing intent coming from his body.

    "Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to speak here?" Although the killing intent on Xia Xuan was strong, his cultivation was only at the level of seventh rank Xuan Lord, and he was naturally unable to see through Yan Shuang''s cultivation. In his opinion, a woman who was following beside Mystical King should only be someone who had not cultivated a spiritual energy.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan sneered. There were some things that he needed to settle first.

    Chapter 204 - Junior

    "Those who don''t scram in three seconds, prepare to enter the infirmary." Xia Xuan said with a voice that did not contain even the slightest bit of emotion, causing the entire audience to burst out in laughter. Putting aside the difference in numbers, even though Huang Yue and Northern Cang Lan were young, they had already reached the realm of the first stage of Xuanzun. They were geniuses in their clans, but Xia Xuan was merely a Mystical King in their eyes.

    "Brat, today your grandpa Yue will teach you how to know your fate." As he said that, an earthen yellow spiritual energy surged out of Huang Yue''s body. The spiritual energy wrapped Huang Yue''s body in a layer of protection, and after that, Huang Yue fiercely stomped on the ground with both of his legs, as he explosively rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Seeing Huang Yue''s fist that was wrapped in spiritual energy s, Xia Xuan did not have a trace of panic on his face. His skin had suddenly turned silver white, and as he raised his silver white fist horizontally, it just happened to collide with Huang Yue''s fist.

    "Bang!" The two fists collided ferociously, and a wave of spiritual energy spread out. When everyone saw the scene on the field again, they couldn''t help but smile in surprise.

    Huang Yue had already fallen, while Xia Xuan stood there unharmed. If one looked carefully, they would realize that Xia Xuan''s body did not have any injuries, not even a single fold of his clothes. On the other hand, Huang Yue''s binocular was a mass of white, and his clothes were tattered. If not for the fact that he could still feel his aura, he would probably have thought that he was already dead.

    "You, do you know who we are? We''re from the Kuang Xiang Sect! You''re dead for sure!" The disciples of the Kuang Xiang Sect who were with Huang Yue immediately rushed over to help him up. After seeing his serious injuries, they all roared at Xia Xuan.

    In this Mainland, no matter how strong a single person was, they would never be a match for a group of people. Many people liked to rely on the power of a sect, and it seemed that no matter how strong a sect was, their disciples would always be confident.

    "Three seconds have passed." Xia Xuan said to the disciples of the Kuang Xiang Sect who were roaring at him, and then their faces darkened as a burst of killing intent emitted from his body.

    However, she did not have any intention of fighting with Xia Xuan at all. Her and Huang Yue''s strength were similar, and since Xia Xuan could defeat Huang Yue in one move, he could naturally cripple her as well. She did not want to cause trouble for herself.

    In the distance, there was a tall building. Although due to the distance, he could not see the tall building, but she knew that there would definitely be people paying attention to this place from the tall building. If they really were in trouble, the people there would not just sit around and do nothing.

    "Brat, what are you trying to do?" Sensing Xia Xuan''s killing intent that soared to the sky, the disciples of the Kuang Xiang Sect all revealed terrified expressions. That terrifying killing intent let them clearly feel that Xia Xuan had the impulse to kill them.

    "Now you know fear? What have you been doing? " Xia Xuan''s gloomy face suddenly turned angry, he waved his hand, and a group of spiritual energy s rushed forward.

    Just as Xia Xuan''s attack was about to hit the disciples, a spiritual energy light wall suddenly condensed and struck the spiritual energy light wall, causing ripples on it.

    Seeing the spiritual energy light wall that suddenly appeared, Xia Xuan''s mouth could not help but raise, finally forcing the two out.

    "Junior, don''t overdo things." From afar, they could see the figure of a man and a woman. The man was tall and mighty, and the woman had a seductive figure. Especially their auras, which reached the level of the ninth level of Xuanzun.

    "Youngster, ha." Xia Xuan laughed at himself, but did not say much.

    "Sakura Deacon, you''re finally here." Northern Cang Lan came to the side of the enchanting woman and said.

    "You stay by the side and watch. Leave the rest to us." The Sakura Deacon patted his shoulder, nodded at him, and then turned his gaze towards Xia Xuan. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Junior, who are you?"

    The Sakura Deacon originally wanted to deal with the other deacons that had rushed over from the Shafts, but before the deacons could arrive, Xia Xuan appeared. There was no one like Xia Xuan in the Sakura Deacon''s memories, but looking at the strength that Xia Xuan had displayed, he should not be a nobody.

    "You all are the younger generation in front of me." Xia Xuan laughed, and then a jade tablet appeared in his hand. Raising the jade tablet horizontally, he said with a serious voice, "Elder of Shafts, Yu Ran."

    "What!" Regardless of whether it was Elder Ying or the tall and mighty man, both of them were grinning from ear to ear in shock. They had never heard of Yu Ran''s name before, but no matter which clans or clans, no matter which elders they came from, they would not fake it. Xia Xuan''s status was higher than theirs.

    "Since you''re a grand elder, isn''t it a bit too much to attack a group of younger generation members?" The Sakura Deacon spoke again, but this time his voice lacked confidence, and it made him seem slightly submissive.

    "What a joke. It was them who attacked me first. As an elder, should I be beaten?" Xia Xuan sneered, then his voice had an additional tinge of anger, his tone was so cold that it caused people''s hearts to turn cold.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, Sakura Deacon was speechless. Previously, Huang Yue had indeed made the first move, the ordinary clansmen should have made their move against the elders of the other clans, and he had even said that it was too much to make a move on the junior.

    "Go to the Shafts and compensate the reverends yourself. Scram." Xia Xuan waved his hands, said impatiently, and turned to walk towards Luo Min, not intending to bother with the Sakura Deacon at all.

    "Creak." Sakura Deacon''s gingiva bit his lips, but he did not dare make a move. In the end, he turned around and led the group of Sea Phoenix clansmen away.

    "Sakura Deacon, this ˇ­" Seeing that the Sakura Deacon was about to leave, the muscular man wanted to say something, but didn''t know what to say.

    "Deacon Wan, this matter is not something that we can handle." Sakura Deacon tilted his head slightly, and within his eyes, there was an astonishingly heavy aura, scaring the man so much that he did not dare say anything.

    "Let''s go." Deacon Wan looked at Huang Yue who was unconscious from the beating, said fiercely, and left.

    When the surrounding people saw the two Enforcers lead their respective people away, their faces revealed traces of surprise, and the way they looked at Xia Xuan while watching the show had changed from a previous attitude to one of disbelief. Originally, everyone thought that Xia Xuan was a brat who did not know his place, but they never thought that he was a dignified elder of a Shafts.

    Although the current Shafts was lacking in potential, in the end, the Shafts was still one of the seven great clans. The position of an elder of one of the seven great clans in the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was definitely not something an ordinary person could imagine.

    "It''s a good thing that the people of the Shafts are courageous." When Xia Xuan arrived in front of Luo Min, there was no longer any killing intent on his face, as Xia Xuan had a good impression of him.

 C205

    Chapter 205 - Faith

    At this time, Luo Min was looking at Xia Xuan with a dazed look in his eyes. Currently, Shafts still knew that the number of people who called Yu Ran was not many, but Luo Min''s father often mentioned the name Yu Ran to Luo Min, and every time he saw his father''s expression of longing, Luo Min could imagine that many years ago, this person named Yu Ran was the belief of the entire clan. He was the spiritual leader of the Shafts.

    How could Luo Min not be shocked that the leader was actually standing in front of him?

    "Don''t just stand by. Let''s go back to the clan." Xia Xuan smiled and turned to walk into the distance.

    "Let''s go." Luo Min said to the group of disciples before following Xia Xuan.

    The capital city of the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was practically comparable to several tens of small empires. The entire capital was split into eleven parts, which were respectively divided into the three great clans and the royal family. Under the suppression of the other great powers for many years, the territory of the Shafts was considered the smallest, but the territory of the Shafts was still not small. In the end, Xia Xuan and the rest still chose to fly to the Shafts.

    With such a majestic building in his field of vision, he was unsure of how many Teenage there were. He did not expect that there would be no changes in his family at all. His life in this family was still rather nostalgic.

    Ripples of wind appeared in the horizon, and in the end, Xia Xuan and the rest stopped outside the clan. When Xia Xuan and the rest landed, a few clan members immediately walked over.

    "Luoshen, I heard that you and Huang Yue had a conflict with Northern Navy Tide?" One of the clan members who came over saw Luo Min and asked Luo Min out of concern.

    This news spread quite quickly. Xia Xuan and the others only spent two days to rush back to the clan, but even some ordinary clan members knew this news.

    "Mn, luckily we have Clan Elder Yu Ran''s help." Luo Min nodded, and pointed to Xia Xuan.

    Since everyone had received news of Luo Min and the others, it was naturally because they had heard of Xia Xuan helping them. It was just that they had never heard of Yu Ran''s name before. Of course, some of the clan elders who were of the monster rank were often in closed door training. Even the clan members of Shafts did not know of their existence, so it was not strange for an elder to suddenly appear.

    "Clan Elder Yu Ran, please come in." Luo Min said respectfully to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan nodded his head, with a smile on his face, he walked into the clan. At this time, many disciples were shuttling back and forth among the clan members, and even those disciples who saw Xia Xuan were a little confused, outsiders were not allowed to casually enter the clan.

    When the disciples saw the jade medallion on Xia Xuan''s waist, their suspicions immediately turned into shock. The clan plate was different, but Xia Xuan''s clan plate was purple.

    And on Xia Xuan''s clan plate, there were five golden stars. It was a clan plate that only the Great Clan Elder of the Shafts had, the Great Clan Elder of the Shafts who neither had a head nor tail of a divine dragon, was the young man in front of him.

    "Luo Min, go inform the Patriarch and set up a meeting." Xia Xuan said to Luo Min who was beside him.

    "Yes." Luo Min promised, then activated his spiritual energy, and his figure flashed as he disappeared.

    There was a conference at Shafts, and normally, no one would come here. However, when something big happened, the patriarch of the Shafts and the manager Zhang Lai would gather here to discuss things.

    At this time, in the Hall, Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang were seated in an elder''s seat, holding onto the steaming cup of tea in their hands and lightly sipping it.

    "Brat, how elegant." A voice rang out, and then a figure appeared out of nowhere within the Hall. The moment the figure appeared, he immediately sat at the head of the Hall, and Xia Xuan just so happened to be beside him, because Xia Xuan was the Great Clan Elder.

    Seeing the newcomer clearly, it was a tall man. The man wore a set of black robe, and his face looked very fierce, as if there was an invisible imposing aura emanating from him, a temperament that only a person with a high position would have. Just by sitting there, Xia Xuan sensed the appearance of an invisible pressure, but this pressure was not immediately emitted from the man''s body.

    "You called me boy, have you forgotten your seniority?" Xia Xuan drank another mouthful of tea and had a strange smile on his face.

    "Big brother, don''t laugh like that okay? Every time you do this, you think about how to deal with others. I''m a bit scared." When the man saw the smile on Xia Xuan''s face, he immediately felt weak in his heart. He immediately came behind Xia Xuan and gently patted his back.

    "That''s more like it." Xia Xuan kept his strange smile and took another sip of the tea.

    When Yan Shuang, who was at the side, saw this scene, she could not help but cover her mouth and laugh softly. The two of them had been like this for a long time.

    "Clan leader, you ˇ­" Just then, a voice came out, a Old Man was standing at the entrance of the Hall, looking at the scene of the man thumping Xia Xuan, his old face was filled with shock, and his entire person was stunned.

    The man was called Yu Quan, the current patriarch of the Shafts. He was a super strong warrior who opened the Two Elements of Creation School, and was a peak level expert in the entire Human Realm.

    "Elder Mo, don''t just stand there. This is our Great Elder, Yu Ran." When Yu Quan saw Old Man, he did not feel awkward at all because of his shocked gaze. Instead, he walked in front of him with a smile and helped him in.

    "Yu Ran! You really are Yu Ran! " The Old Man was being supported by Yu Quan, but when he heard Yu Quan say that Xia Xuan was Yu Ran, the surprise he felt immediately surfaced again.

    A very, very long time ago, the Shafts was not one of the seven great clans. At that time, the Shafts did not have to face the oppression of many other clans, but during the clan''s calamity, the person named Yu Ran appeared, and he resolved the crisis of the Shafts, then led the Shafts to become one of the seven great clans. At that time, the Old Man was still a child, but Yu Ran''s figure had already become one of his beliefs.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan slightly nodded his head, a smile on his face. Naturally, Xia Xuan had no impression of this child who had once looked up to him from behind, but since he had asked, then he would agree to it.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s reply, Old Man sat down on a chair, his old face was in a daze, and tears were already flowing out of his old eyes. Even though many years had passed, Old Man was unable to forget Xia Xuan''s majestic back.

    After that, one Old Man after another came to the Hall, and when they saw Xia Xuan, they were all shocked. Naturally, they had all heard of it before, the purpose of this meeting was to welcome Great Clan Elder Yu Ran.

    Others might not know, but many elderly elders knew that Yu Ran was not only the Great Elder of the Shafts, he was also a dignified The Divine Realm. Besides the Celestial King, the Deicide was also the strongest existence in this world.

    In about ten minutes, all the elders who should be here had arrived and the few dozen seats in Hall were all occupied. Yu Quan''s gaze swept across the crowd. After confirming that everyone had arrived, a serious expression surfaced on his face. As he sat there, he could not help but straighten his body.

 C206

    Chapter 206 - Conference

    "Everyone, I believe that a majority of you know Clan Elder Yu Ran. Ten thousand years ago, he was the one who led us all the way to the position of one of the Seven Great Clans. " Yu Quan introduced.

    "I believe that Clan Elder Yu Ran has returned this time for the sake of the The Divine King''s Mansion." Yuquan School had been paying attention to Xia Xuan for a long time, and they knew about Xia Xuan becoming the prince of Xing Bei Empire after he had reincarnated and offending the The Divine King''s Mansion very well. Furthermore, the The Divine King''s Mansion had recently gotten into big trouble, so Xia Xuan must be here for help.

    "That''s right, I hope the Shafts can send troops to help me." Xia Xuan stood up from his chair, a hint of sincerity in his eyes. When the elders saw Xia Xuan''s gaze, they all slightly lowered their heads.

    Sending troops against the The Divine King''s Mansion was not a small matter, although it was possible for the Shafts to protect a small empire, but the price to pay was definitely not small. The current Shafts was already lacking a bit, if there was such a huge loss, the Shafts would probably be removed from the list of seven great clans and become one of the seven old Clans.

    "Elder Yu Ran, do you know the situation of the current Shafts?" Suddenly, a voice came out, and everyone turned to look at a corner of the Hall, where a man with a beard sat down on a chair. The man, the man looked to be only around fifty years of age, but with Xia Xuan''s strength, he could not see through the man''s cultivation.

    This man''s name was Guo Yong, and he was the youngest Elder, he did not know how great Yu Ran''s contributions were to the Shafts, he only knew that if he were to attack and make the The Divine King''s Mansion his enemy, then the Shafts would definitely be weakened.

    "Guo Yong, do you know how much Elder Yu Ran has contributed to the clan?" It could be said that without Yu Ran, there would be no Shafts. If there was a need, Yu Quan was willing to hand over the entire Shafts to Xia Xuan, as long as he could make the The Divine Realm his enemy.

    "How much can I contribute? As the elder of the military, I can''t just let my hard-trained disciples die in vain." After saying that, Guo Yong''s mood became agitated and he actually slammed the table, directly jumping up.

    "You ˇ­" Yu Quan was already so angry that he did not know what to say. This Guo Yong was still too young, he had even regretted letting him train as a disciple.

    "Elder, if this one were to allow Shafts to become the leader of the seven great clans within ten years, would you be willing to lend a helping hand?" Xia Xuan was not angry because of the elder''s words, but instead, he had a smile on his face. Xia Xuan was not angry about the elder''s actions, but instead, thought that it was the Shafts''s fortune to have such a backing, because Guo Yong truly did think for the Shafts.

    "What kind of promise do you have?" Guo Yong looked at Xia Xuan carefully, and asked disdainfully after he repeatedly confirmed the strength of the seventh stage Mystical King. In his opinion, Xia Xuan''s promise was simply boasting.

    "In the name of the Deicide." As he said that, a figure of light slowly emerged behind Xia Xuan. That figure of light looked exactly the same as Xia Xuan, and it was the remnant soul of the Deicide.

    The moment the remnant soul of the Deicide appeared, an extremely terrifying killing intent surged out from Xia Xuan''s body. Even the elders who had lived for nearly ten thousand years couldn''t help but sink when they felt the killing intent, and even breathing became difficult. Although it was only a remnant soul, it did not affect the intensity of Xia Xuan''s killing intent. In the Deicide who had experienced countless battles, his killing intent had already penetrated deep into his bones.

    When the Deicide''s soul was released, Guo Yong immediately collapsed back into his chair. Amongst the people present, Guo Yong was the youngest, currently only in his nineties. And young him would naturally not be able to endure Xia Xuan''s terrifying killing intent.

    The soul of the Deicide appeared for three seconds and was recalled back, but these three seconds completely overturned Guo Yong''s view of the world. He never thought that the Teenage in front of him was the reincarnation of the Deicide.

    The Shafts was originally not called Shafts, but it was only because a Deicide appeared that changed his name to Shafts. Everyone knew that the Deicide was the second strongest person in the world, but very few people knew his real name, and now, Guo Yong knew that the Deicide was Yu Ran and the reincarnation of the Deicide was this man in front of him.

    After knowing Xia Xuan''s identity, Guo Yong no longer dared to maintain his opposition. He knew how much Deicide had done for the Shafts, so even if the entire Shafts had died for him, it was only natural.

    The meeting ended very quickly, and the outcome of the meeting was that the entire Shafts Clan would help, so how many people and which people were there, would all be picked by Xia Xuan. As for Xia Xuan, he only wanted Guo Yong and Luo Min for the time being. This time, he wanted to go against the The Divine King''s Mansion, so it could be considered as an experiential learning.

    The entire Shafts became lively after the meeting. Almost all of the clan members started to move, and every single one of them were asked to extend their training time. As long as they could run, they would not be let off.

    On a tall building, Xia Xuan watched the spectacular training of all the members of his clan and couldn''t help but think of The Divine Realm. When he was in charge of the hundred thousand Ares-class, he often personally trained everyone, but he was quite happy to think about it. It was just that currently, who knew which Divine Generals were in charge of the hundred thousand Ares-class.

    "Shuang''er, who is controlling those Ares-class?" Xia Xuan suddenly asked as he turned to look at Yan Shuang.

    After being asked by Xia Xuan, Yan Shuang''s expression immediately darkened, and her head unconsciously lowered. She did not know what to say for a moment.

    Seeing Yan Shuang like this, Xia Xuan immediately had a bad premonition. He immediately grabbed Yan Shuang''s shoulders and asked a little excitedly, "What happened to them?"

    "They are now under the jurisdiction of the evil god." In the end, Yan Shuang clenched her teeth and said those words with great difficulty. Then, she saw Xia Xuan''s face filled with anger.

    The evil god, as its name implied, was the most evil god. It could be said that letting a hundred thousand Ares-class be controlled by the evil god meant tormenting them.

    "Bang!" Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out, attracting everyone''s gaze. A silver light shot up to the sky, looking like it had the urge to rush up to The Divine Realm. However, with Xia Xuan''s current strength, he would not be able to rush to the The Divine Realm. Every time he ascended a certain distance, he would feel a stronger pressure coming from the The Divine Realm.

    "Celestial King! Remember this, my Deicide will definitely kill you. " Xia Xuan''s body was covered in wounds from the strong pressure and he was really unable to charge forward. However, the extremely angry Xia Xuan was still roaring at the distant Heaven Realm.

    After roaring, Xia Xuan was finally exhausted and dropped to the ground. However, just ashe landed, she was caught by a beautiful figure, and looking at the still angry Xia Xuan, Yan Shuang''s heart couldn''t help but hurt.

    "Celestial King, you must die no matter what." Yan Shuang gazed at the distant The Divine Realm. She could see that there were countless experts in that realm. Compared to the Human Realm, that place was no different from the The Divine Realm.

 C207

    Chapter 207 - Reunion

    In the The Divine Realm, a huge golden chair was floating in the sky. On the chair, a man was sitting upright, clad in golden armor, radiating light. Although he was just sitting there, he gave off a feeling comparable to the heaven and earth. This was the master of the The Divine Realm, the strongest warrior in the entire Tian Lin Continent, the Celestial King.

    In front of Celestial King, a huge light mirror was floating, and the figure that appeared in the mirror was Xia Xuan who was roaring at The Divine Realm.

    "Celestial King, this brat is too arrogant, do you want to ˇ­" A man filled with Evil Qi stood beside Celestial King, bent over, and even used his hand to lightly cut across''s neck.

    "Humph!" A destitute dog that can''t even get on The Divine Realm, what is there to be concerned about. " Celestial King chuckled lightly. Towards the guy that could not become a god again after nine repetitions, Celestial King was already completely disappointed in him.

    "I heard that the The Divine King''s Mansion is sending troops to suppress the Deicide. Should we send troops to support them?" The man shrouded in evil aura said again. Back then, everything that Deicide controlled now belonged to him, but evil god had always viewed him as a thorn in his side, so as long as there was an opportunity to cause trouble for Deicide, he would not let it go.

    "No need, focus all your energy on those rebellious gods, a destitute Deicide is nothing to be afraid of." The Celestial King waved his hand and the huge glowing realm disappeared.

    In the Dragon Imperial City, Yan Shuang supported Xia Xuan and slowly landed on the ground. However, the moment they landed, Xia Xuan staggered and almost fell.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s face, which was filled with veins due to anger, Yan Shuang felt an indescribable pain in her heart. The nine reincarnations of the Deicide, Yan Shuang could clearly see how unreconciled Xia Xuan was in his heart.

    "Kid, if you have time to get angry, why don''t you increase your strength. The The Divine King''s Mansion is your enemy now." The one hundred thousand Ares-class s were personally brought out by him. Hearing that they were all controlled by the evil god, the soul of the Deicide also felt greatly enraged.

    "Does Wang Hao and the rest know I''m here?" Xia Xuan who had calmed down said to Yan Shuang. Wang Hao and the rest had already absorbed a majority of the Divine Heart, so their cultivation should have increased by a thousand Li in one day.

    "We''ve already informed them. They will be here soon." Yan Shuang calmed her emotions and said.

    "Not right away. We''re already here." Right at this moment, a laugh sounded out, attracting both Xia Xuan''s and Yan Shuang''s gaze. They saw a black figure currently rushing towards Xia Xuan at a fast speed.

    With Xia Xuan''s strength, he was unable to see the figure clearly, but from the sound of the voice, Xia Xuan knew who it was. It was Su Bing.

    Xia Xuan could clearly feel that his cultivation was at least at the sixth stage of Xuanzun. Adding to his extraordinary speed, it was possible that even his seventh rank Xuan Lord was not his opponent. If this kind of strength was placed in the Hundred Desolations, he would already be able to become a Sect Leader of a super sect.

    Su Bing instantly appeared in front of Xia Xuan, and then, he hugged Xia Xuan until he was unable to breathe.

    "Let go" Xia Xuan felt extremely helpless from the hug, he patted Su Bing with all his might, telling him to let go.

    In the end, Su Bing released his. He looked at Xia Xuan, who was wounded all over because she wanted to rush to The Divine Realm, and couldn''t help but reveal a complicated expression in her eyes. However, she maintained a smile, glanced at the flame frost once again, and said: "It''s been so many years, Shuang''er is still as beautiful as ever."

    In their past life, the Deicide had gathered all seven of them and lived together for tens of thousands of years. Even with Yan Shuang''s cold and detached personality, she had developed feelings for others.

    "What about them?" Xia Xuan looked behind Su Bing, and when he did not see anyone else, he could not help but to ask curiously.

    "Can they catch up to me?" Su Bing spread out his hands, looking a little arrogant. It seemed that Su Bing had already absorbed the God''s Heart, so his personality was a little like Pluto.

    Not long after, another sound of wind breaking sounded out, and countless birds flew towards Xia Xuan like shooting stars in the sky.

    Looking at the flock of birds, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a little dazed. Right now, at least four of the six Great God''s hearts were probably already absorbed, so wasn''t Shangguan Zelong displaying the power of the Feather God after he finished fighting them?

    Just as the flying birds were about to hit Xia Xuan, they suddenly changed their direction of flight. Countless of flying birds scattered in all directions, revealing the white-robed man who had always been hidden within the flying birds.

    In the The Divine Realm, the Feather God could be said to be the idol of all female gods.

    "Brother Yu, you didn''t wait for us either." Just as Shangguan Zelong stood in the sky, a voice filled with grievances sounded out, as two beautiful figures slowly flew over.

    Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue''s appearances had changed a little, maybe it was because of the Divine Heart slowly fusing with the two of them, or maybe it was because of the increase in their strength, but the two of them had changed so much that they could be described as devastatingly beautiful.

    Looking at the two figures that were slowly floating over, Xia Xuan had a smile on his face, and just as he was about to step forward to welcome them, another figure suddenly appeared. That figure directly embraced Xia Xuan, and stunned him. That gentle and beautiful figure was none other than Xue Er.

    After being stunned, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the other side of the sky, where there was a Tigerman. The Tigerman had a tall and sturdy body, but at the moment, he had his hands folded across his chest, looking at Xia Xuan like nothing was happening.

    Regardless of whether it was Xue Er or the Blood Tiger, their auras were both much stronger than before. It was likely that the Shafts had spent a large amount of resources to treat the injuries the two Great God''s artifacts had suffered in their previous lives.

    Another wave of aura appeared. A fiery red light shot into the sky from the horizon. Following the appearance of this light, the temperature of the air seemed to have increased. Not long after, a figure appeared in the distant sky. With Flame Sun Knife in hand, that figure aggressively charged towards Xia Xuan.

    Seeing that, the flamethrower appeared in Xia Xuan''s hand in a flash. After removing the nine layers of seal on the flamethrower, a terrifying aura exploded forth. With the flamethrower in hand, Xia Xuan rushed towards Wang Hao.

    "Bang!" The two of them fiercely collided, and countless spiritual energy and flamethrower collided, as ripples spread out, causing one''s blood to boil.

    "The two of them are so noisy all day. How annoying." Suddenly, a grumbling voice could be heard as a man slowly floated over. The current Wu Zhi had changed a lot from before. It seemed that during the time he was not here, Wu Zhi had also absorbed the God''s Heart.

    Xia Xuan and Wang Hao both stopped their sparring and turned to look at their comrades. Xia Xuan could not help but reveal a sincere smile, no matter what kind of situation he was facing, these people must be his strong backs.

    Chapter 208 - Chaos (1)

    When the group of people gathered, all of the disciples in the clan were shocked. Among the group, everyone would feel unfamiliar with Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, but towards the others, everyone in Shafts knew about them.

    Just half a year ago, there were six Teenage s that successfully joined the Shafts in the Hundred Heroes Competition, and the moment they entered the Shafts, they became ordinary elders of the Shafts. At first, there were even people who refused to accept this, thinking that their strength was too low and that they did not have the qualifications to become an elder.

    Right now, all the clansmen believed that these six people would definitely become famous figures in the Tian Lin Continent. Everything they had now was for their future rise. These six people already represented half of the future of the Shafts.

    Now that the six of them were here, every clan member who passed by was curious about what had happened. The scene of Xia Xuan shouting at The Divine Realm was seen by everyone in Shafts, and now that the six of them were suddenly here, how could they not be curious.

    Xia Xuan swept his gaze across the crowd and carefully identified the strength of everyone present. From high to low, they were respectively at the ninth level of intelligence; Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were at the peak of the eighth level of Xuanzun, while the others had all reached the seventh rank Xuan Lord. Right now, everyone''s strength was not weak.

    No matter where it was, under the flow of time, they would definitely experience a peaceful and chaotic world. In these tens of thousands of years, Xia Xuan and his comrades had lived a carefree and peaceful life in the The Divine Realm. Although they had fought for the The Divine Realm often at that time, but it was definitely not a chaotic world.

    One week later

    In the air above Shafts, Xia Xuan was standing with a group of comrades beside him, but in front of them were tens of thousands of disciples from Shafts. All of these disciples were chosen by Xia Xuan, and their strengths were not the top of the Shafts, because the Shafts Scriptures did not tolerate the loss of tens of thousands of elite disciples, but they were not the worst disciples, because if those disciples were to go, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.

    Xia Xuan swept his gaze across them and confirmed that everyone was there. He then turned his gaze to the side, and beside him stood Yan Shuang, just that Yan Shuang did not look as sacred as she used to be. Furthermore, Xia Xuan could clearly feel that Yan Shuang''s current strength was probably only comparable to that of a Mysterious Sect Ranker.

    Xia Xuan couldn''t help but think of two days ago when Yan Shuang suddenly came to his room. Looking at the slightly worried expression of Yan Shuang, Xia Xuan could already guess what had happened.

    "The Divine Realm''s current situation is a little different from before." Yan Shuang took a deep breath and finally spoke.

    "How many rebel gods are there?" Xia Xuan was very calm, and directly asked. In fact, Xia Xuan had guessed long ago that the rebellion would only become more and more serious. Back then, he would often launch a rebellion against the Deicide, but they would all be suppressed by the Deicide. However, he had already guessed that chaos was coming when the Deicide had fallen.

    The Deicide could guess that the only reason the Celestial King wanted to kill him was to eliminate the person that posed a threat to his position. In that case, after his death, the Celestial King would definitely turn his gaze towards the other Divine Generals, and the other Divine Generals would not be fools either.

    "More than ten thousand divine generals have rebelled, and the one leading them is the Raging Flames God. Recently, the Celestial King seems to be trying to suppress them." Yan Shuang''s gaze looked up into the sky. Although they were in a house right now, her gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the ceiling and see the The Divine Realm in the distance. The usually kind Yan Shuang was bursting with killing intent.

    "Go, The Divine Realm needs you even more." Xia Xuan nodded his head, and said without any emotion at all. Perhaps, without the help of Yan Shuang, his chance of winning the battle with The Divine King''s Mansion would have dropped to the extreme limits, but Xia Xuan still hoped that Yan Shuang could go to The Divine Realm. This was because the rebellion of the gods was the true capital for Xia Xuan to fight against the Celestial King.

 C209

    Chapter 209 - Chaotic World (2)

    "I can leave behind a clone to work with you on the Seven Divine Formations." With a wave of her hand, a person who looked exactly like Yan Shuang was formed. It was just that this clone was many times weaker than the real Yan Shuang.

    Finally, she gave Xia Xuan a reluctant look before he disappeared. Seeing the clone left behind by the Flaming Frost, Xia Xuan could not help but sigh and slowly walked out of the room.

    The moon was round today, even rounder than the one on the fifteenth, and the stars hung in the sky. Xia Xuan sat by a stone table and looked towards the moon. Coincidentally, he saw a cloud slowly floating past, covering half of the moon.

    The light of the moon shone on the clouds. Miraculously, the clouds'' eyes had turned blood-red, their pupils so thick that blood seemed to be about to drip out. Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a chill in his heart when he looked at them.

    "The blood moon in the sky ˇ­" Xia Xuan twisted his chin, looking at the blood moon, the binocular could not help but narrow its eyes. It did not expect the rare blood moon to appear, perhaps the entire Mainland would be overturned by this chaotic world. Thinking back to back then, when the blood moon appeared during the suppression of Lord of the Five Realms, it was also the only blood moon.

    Returning back to his senses, Xia Xuan took another look at the neatly arranged army, took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze towards Guo Yong who was at the side.

    "Let''s go." When Guo Yong saw Xia Xuan''s gaze, he immediately took a thousand steps forward and wrapped his voice in his spiritual energy and roared.

    "Boom!" The army immediately took a step forward at the same time, but this step contained a shocking aura. The army of tens of thousands of Qi Cultivating Stage experts walked towards the distance in a formidable array.

    At the same time, at the border between The Divine Realm and himself.

    Just as she was about to cross the border between The Divine Realm and The Divine Realm, an attack suddenly came rushing over. Luckily, Yan Shuang reacted quickly and avoided the attack.

    Flame Frost turned his gaze towards a direction in the sky after dodging the attack. There, there was an iron tree that had not bloomed for a thousand years, and the entire tree looked bare. That was why the Old Man lying on the tree was extremely eye-catching.

    Old Man laid on the tree branch. His clothes looked tattered, just like the clothes he was wearing when he was begging. A wine jug swayed in his hand, and he was already drunk. It was hard to imagine why such a Old Man would appear in The Divine Realm.

    "I say, big sister, you don''t need to be involved in this matter. I was also ordered to stop you. How about we sit down and chat about life?" Before Yan Shuang could speak, Old Man had already spoken.

    "Do you think that''s possible?" Although the Old Man looked very slovenly, Yan Shuang did not underestimate him because of this. Although there were few Divine Generals in the The Divine Realm, it did not mean that there were none, for the Old Man was the renowned Liquor God. His strength was not inferior to Yan Shuang''s.

    He did not have a single soldier under his command, and only carried a jug of wine with him as he roamed the entire The Divine Realm. However, the Deicide had told Yan Shuang that if it was possible, he wanted to become like the Liquor God, and that among all the gods, the Liquor God was the person he envied and admired the most.

    "Ai, can''t you calm down a little?" The Liquor God sighed and then drank another mouthful of wine. Then, a dense spiritual energy that seemed to have condensed into substance rushed out from his body, the gigantic spiritual energy rushed straight towards the flame frost.

    Chapter 210 - Returning to Xing Bei

    The Xing Bei Empire today was the same as usual. The people had woken up early, and the fields were full of farming names. The town was bustling, and it felt like the whole world was peaceful and peaceful.

    However, peace could never last forever. Just as everyone was living a peaceful life, a huge sound of wind breaking sounded out, and everyone in Xing Bei Empire could hear it. Even Xia Cha who was in the midst of reviewing the records anxiously walked out, looking towards the horizon in shock.

    Any Qi Cultivator would be able to sense that in the distant horizon, there was a powerful and suffocating spiritual energy that was quickly rushing towards the Xing Bei Empire.

    After Xia Cha sensed the spiritual energy, the astonishment in his heart was simply unable to be put into words. The Xing Bei Empire had always been obedient and never offended any strong empire, then what was the purpose of this powerful aura suddenly appearing? As the emperor of a nation, Xia Cha had to always think about the safety of the empire.

    Not long after, a black wave appeared in the distant horizon, formed by tens of thousands of people. Even though the wave was still very far from the Xing Bei Empire, they could clearly feel that in the wave, no matter who it was, their strength was not lower than the Mystical King''s.

    Within these tens of thousands of people, there were actually very few Mystical King. Most of the people were actually either experts with Xuanhuang or with Xuanzun, and among them, there were even some that were unable to perceive their strength.

    With regards to such an army, Xia Cha didn''t dare to be negligent and immediately activated his spiritual energy to fly into the sky.

    The current Xia Cha was already a Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor Ranker, and with his speed, he quickly approached the army. However, before he could even open his mouth to speak, he was stunned, his eyes stared fixedly at the person in front of the army. It was a Teenage dressed in black. Teenage''s figure looked slightly thin.

    With a wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, the entire army stopped. Then, Xia Xuan looked at Xia Cha with a smile.

    Xia Cha finally regained his senses and a smile appeared on his face. That smile was very warm and it did not seem like the smile a Monarch would have. It was a smile a father would give when looking at a child that he had not seen for many years.

    Xia Cha opened his arms, and a thin figure immediately jumped into his embrace. Xia Cha lightly patted Xia Xuan''s back, and the tip of his nose couldn''t help but slightly ache.

    For the past few years, Xia Cha had been missing Xia Xuan every single moment. He no longer wasted any time on the affairs of the country, and every day he would review his memorials so that he could see a peaceful and prosperous empire when his children returned.

    "It''s good that you''re back. It''s good that you''re back." Xia Cha said as he patted Xia Xuan''s back. At this time, he had already completely forgotten about the huge army of ten thousand people. All he knew was that his chest was a little wet.

    The ten thousand strong army were finally placed in the Imperial Palace, and the entire Imperial Palace became lively. Countless palace maids were busy with their work, and even the food of these people was a headache.

    In one room, was the place where Xia Cha would usually review reports, and now, there was only Xia Xuan and Xia Cha.

    After Xia Xuan finished writing the two letters, he used the envelope to quickly hand it over to Xia Cha, and said: "Royal Father, these two letters are for Bei Quan and Hu Xiao of the Monarch, and also bring all the citizens of the north to Bei Quan and Hu Xiao."

    Xia Cha suddenly brought back a great army of over ten thousand men, and had to bring all of his citizens to the North Spring to fight Tiger Roar. Even an idiot would guess that there was a great enemy coming, and that the enemy was even stronger than the army Xia Xuan was gathering.

    "Who are you dealing with?" Xia Cha believed that it was necessary for him to know the situation of his son''s father the most, even though those enemies were not something he could handle.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion." Xia Xuan thought for a moment, then said seriously.

    "Tch." Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Xia Cha couldn''t help but take in a breath of cold air. The Divine King''s Mansion was an existence that was as famous as the seven great clans of the three great sects; it was difficult to imagine how Xia Xuan had offended such a colossus.

    "How confident are you?" Although The Divine King''s Mansion was strong, the people Xia Xuan brought over were not weak either. Furthermore, it was not certain that how many soldiers The Divine King''s Mansion would send out to deal with a small empire. Xia Cha wanted to know everything.

    "I don''t know, but I''m certain this is a fierce battle. I need to wholeheartedly fight, and no one can get in my way." Xia Xuan shook his head, if the citizens were to participate in this battle, he would not be able to fight the The Divine King''s Mansion wholeheartedly.

    "Alright." Xia Cha replied, then his figure flashed and disappeared. Xia Cha also knew that it was not good for the commoners to be here, so he did not dare hesitate in the slightest. After all, no one knew when the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army would come.

    Looking at the place where Xia Cha had disappeared from, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but let out a light sigh. As long as Xia Cha could go to another empire, that would be a safe thing to do.

    Three days later, at the border of the Xing Bei Empire, Xia Xuan stood at the summit of a tall mountain. Looking around, he could vaguely feel that there were many concealed auras in the lofty mountains and lofty ridges, these were the first line of defense, the entire empire had a total of ten lines of defense from the border to the capital, all of which were extremely secretive. Inadvertently, they were able to catch the The Divine King''s Mansion off guard.

    All these defensive lines were set up by Wu Zhi. As the God of Wisdom, he was good at this kind of thing.

    Looking at the color of the sky, Xia Xuan realized that it was already noon, and that it was time to eat lunch. At this time, a person rang out, and Li Le probably hadn''t seen a general for a year, and didn''t know how he was doing during this year.

    Xia Xuan''s figure flashed and disappeared.

    Peacock Restaurant''s reputation had even surpassed some of the empires'' restaurants. During the time that Xia Xuan had left, Peacock Restaurant had already moved to Xing Bei Empire.

    Right now, Peacock Restaurant was very quiet. Everyone was packing their luggage and preparing to leave, the entire Peacock Restaurant probably only had Li Le and the OP.

    Xia Xuan slowly pushed open the door to the Peacock Restaurant, and the smell of alcohol immediately floated over. Even at this time, the smell of the Peacock Restaurant was still the same.

    Walking in the middle of the Peacock Restaurant, Xia Xuan felt the surrounding beautiful Gu Feng. Listening to the sound of his own footsteps as they landed, Xia Xuan''s gaze swept in all directions.

    "You finally knew you were back." When Xia Xuan looked over, he saw a man standing in the corner, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. On the kitchen knife, he could see that there was still some blood on it, and in his other hand, there was a hen that had just been killed.

    "Are you going to cook for me now?" Seeing Li Le like that, Xia Xuan immediately asked.

    "Humph, hurry up and sit down. The food is almost ready." Li Le laughed, then took the kitchen knife and the hen to the kitchen.

 C211

    Chapter 211 - Subjugation of the Army

    Xia Xuan followed his habits and arrived at the highest point of Peacock Restaurant, where he could clearly see the beautiful scenery after Peacock Restaurant. Even after Peacock Restaurant moved to another place, the beautiful scenery after the restaurant did not change at all.

    Not long after, a fragrance drifted out, and very quickly, a serving of Imperial Palace Chicken was brought over. Looking at the fragrant Imperial Palace Chicken, Xia Xuan craved for the Saliva to come out, but Xia Xuan just watched and did not immediately use his chopsticks to taste it.

    "What, not satisfied?" Seeing that Xia Xuan did not want to taste it, Li Le asked curiously, could it be that Xia Xuan had been out wandering for many years and did not like the food he sat on?

    "The dishes are very good, but the The Divine King''s Mansion is coming soon. I don''t want anything to happen to me right now, please cook a dish without any poison." Xia Xuan crossed his ten fingers, and looked at Li Le with a wise and farsighted gaze, as if he had seen through Li Le''s entire being.

    Hearing what Xia Xuan said, Li Le''s binocular stared widely, and tears had already started rolling in its eyes. In the end, Li Le covered his head with both hands, and painfully knelt on the ground.

    "I don''t want it either. Something is inside my body, and it''s controlling me." Li Le squatted on the ground, crying his hysteria out loud. Looking at Li Le, he couldn''t help but shake his head.

    "evil god''s spiritual energy is actually a chance. If you have enough willpower, you can completely control this power. This is actually an opportunity, you have the potential to become a god." Xia Xuan patted Li Le''s shoulder, and then his stomach let out another rumbling sound. Xia Xuan couldn''t help but rub his stomach and laugh, "Go and make another plate."

    Xia Xuan who was crying was stunned, Xia Xuan could not blame himself for poisoning the dishes, it could make Li Le cry, but when Xia Xuan wished for him to make another plate, it was exactly that kind of trust, Xia Xuan trusted him, and he could control the power of the evil god, so what could be more precious than this trust?

    Li Le wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and went back to the kitchen. He could clearly hear the sound of a kitchen knife landing heavily on the mat from the back of the kitchen. It would be very difficult to control the power of the evil god, but Xia Xuan thought that Li Le could, after all, control the power of a evil god.

    This time, the dishes were cooked for a long time. When Li Le brought the dishes out, Xia Xuan could see that blood was flowing on Li Le''s hands, and in order to control the energy, he had almost used all of his strength to grab the kitchen knife. Even though his hand was in pain, Li Le still had a smile on his face. He really didn''t poison this dish, he really could control that power.

    After strongly smelling a new plate of Gong Bao Chicken, Xia Xuan''s binocular was about to pop out. He quickly scooped up a bowl of rice and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

    Compared to the dishes that Li Le usually cooked, the taste of this Gong Bao Ding was much worse. One could guess that Li Le''s hands were shaking with all his might when he used salt, otherwise, he would not be this salty. Although the taste of the dish was not good, Xia Xuan ate it very quickly. From his point of view, the dish was the most delicious that Li Le had cooked.

    Halfway through eating, Xia Xuan suddenly froze. A burst of spiritual energy pressure came from outside Xing Bei, it was extremely powerful, probably because there were a large number of people, and they were all not weak.

    Xia Xuan was only stunned for a moment, and then he continued to wolf down his food, completely ignoring his.

    Li Le also clearly felt the spiritual energy''s pressure, but when he saw that Xia Xuan was still eating, he couldn''t help but feel worried.

    "Pa!" Xia Xuan slammed his bowl of rice onto the table, he rubbed his stomach, and revealed a satisfied expression.

    "After you''ve eaten your fill, you''ll have the strength to fight." Xia Xuan rubbed his stomach as he stood up, and just as he was about to move, Li Le''s expression suddenly became extremely painful, he actually wanted to attack Xia Xuan, but just as his palm was about to hit Xia Xuan, he suddenly forced himself to stop, and his entire body fell on the ground, looking extremely painful.

    Xia Xuan didn''t even look at Li Le, and directly walked out of the Peacock Restaurant. He handed his back to Li Le, and he didn''t believe that Li Le would hurt him.

    In the air above the quiet empire, a black mass of people was surging over like a wave. There were already more than ten thousand people, and the most important thing was that none of these people were weaker than the people Xia Xuan had brought.

    At the very front of the army was a middle-aged man dressed in black, who looked very serious. No one could sense the movements of the man''s spiritual energy, and this man was the commander of the army, the The Divine King''s Mansion Elder.

    He had received the news long ago that the Xing Bei Empire had received the assistance of the Shafts, so he would definitely not bring so many people with him. In his eyes, a reborn Deicide did not have anything to fear from him, as the elder of the The Divine King''s Mansion, he had long ago reached the third stage of Profound Emperor. This kind of strength was not something that numbers could make up for.

    However, now that the entire north of the planet was an empty city, it was not as simple as it seemed to him to be with his wariness and mental discipline.

    The army stopped above Xing Bei Empire, and when they saw that the entire empire had turned into a dead nation, a hint of disdain appeared on their faces. Before the war even started, the citizens had already fled, and from their point of view, Xing Bei was already afraid of them.

    "Swish!" Just then, a sound of wind rang out, and when everyone looked towards the origin of the sound, they only saw spiritual energy s charging straight towards the army, and before anyone could react, the spiritual energy had already charged into the army. There were people who did not have enough time to defend, and directly descended towards the ground.

    Suddenly suffering an attack, the entire army panicked. The attacks from before weren''t weak. Even they didn''t dare claim that they could receive those attacks head on.

    When the army was attacked, the commander in chief was immediately enraged. With a flash, he rushed towards the ground. When the dryads reached the ground, they didn''t see a single person. Presumably the moment the ambushers finished their attacks, they would use some sort of secret technique to escape.

    With his power, it would be easy for him to chase those people down, but he was afraid that he might lure them away. As the commander of the army, he had to always think for the sake of the army.

    Just as he was about to return to the army, one after another spiritual energy attacks came from all directions. They were all headed towards the army.

    Although everyone was prepared this time, they could do nothing as the attacks were too numerous. When the attacks charged into the army, a large number of injuries and deaths immediately occurred. Seeing the rain of his subordinates fall like rain, Luo Ding was enraged, this Xing Bei Empire was shameless, he had actually set up such an ambush.

    In the middle of Imperial Palace, Xia Xuan stood on a roof. After wrapping the binocular with the spiritual energy, he could see everything that had happened in the sky.

 C212

    Chapter 212 - Comprehensive war

    When the bull returned to the army, he found that the death toll was close to one in ten, and he was at a disadvantage. This made the bull so angry that his face turned red.

    appeared beside Xia Xuan within the Imperial Palace and similarly wrapped the binocular s around them. When he saw the troops in the horizon, who had nearly one tenth of their casualties, his face couldn''t help but reveal a hint of complacency.

    "The The Divine King''s Mansion is indeed powerful, but they made a fatal mistake. The entire army is led by only PK, and with such a large team, he would definitely not care about anything when a real war starts. If a war were to start, his The Divine King''s Mansion would definitely lose." Wu Zhi explained his thoughts in detail. As long as no accidents happened, Wu Zhi did not believe that the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army could survive.

    Xia Xuan laughed, then turned his gaze to a gigantic clearing in the Imperial Palace, where many figures were crawling out from the ground. Wu Zhi told them to hide in various parts of the empire, the moment they launched an attack, they would flee, their goal being to exhaust the power of the The Divine King''s Mansion. The result was pretty good.

    "Everyone, take a break. The war is about to begin." Xia Xuan shouted to the people who were crawling out of the ground.

    In the sky, his face was flushed from anger. However, he had nowhere to vent it on, so he clenched his fists so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.

    "Elder Bastard, why don''t we withdraw our troops first?" A man came up to the bull and whispered in his ear.

    "This won''t do, if the two armies retreat after not seeing this, it will definitely affect the morale of the troops. Now that the ambush has ended, I don''t believe that he can play any more tricks." Pudding said firmly. To think that dealing with a mere Xing Bei Empire would cause such a heavy loss, that he would be punished regardless of whether he succeeded or failed. Under these circumstances, the extremely angry Bull was already determined to destroy Xing Bei. How could he possibly retreat?

    It had to be said that The Divine King''s Mansion was an existence that was on par with the seven great clans of the three great sects, and had brought along extremely high quality people. They, who were caught unprepared a moment ago, had soon rearranged their troops, and the orderly army once again erupted with spiritual energy s that shot into the sky.

    "Rumble ~ ~ ~" The uniform and uniform sounds of footsteps in the air was like the sound of thunder, resounding through the sky. Even Xia Xuan who was far away in the middle of the Imperial Palace could hear it clearly.

    Hearing the rumbling sounds, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but perk up. Even if he had to take away 10% of the power, the people of the The Divine King''s Mansion were still extremely powerful.

    "Where are Wang Hao and the rest?" Xia Xuan swept his gaze across them, but did not see any trace of Wang Hao, and immediately asked.

    "Hee hee." Wu Zhi laughed and said, "I don''t believe that an army this big doesn''t have food as backup, what do you think they went to do?"

    Looking at Wu Zhi''s giggling, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but be stunned. This advisor really used all of his insidious tricks.

    Not to mention that all of his subordinates were all disciples of the Shafts, and there shouldn''t be any heavy casualties, even if he fought head on with them, he might not be able to win against the The Divine King''s Mansion. The The Divine King''s Mansion''s overall strength was not any weaker than theirs, and the commander of the The Divine King''s Mansion was also a third stage Profound Emperor.

    Therefore, Wu Zhi planned to compete with The Divine King''s Mansion in terms of energy consumption. Even if Qi Cultivators could not eat for a long period of time, they were still human beings. After an intense battle, if there was no food for a long period of time, they would not have the power to follow up. After Wu Zhi thought about it, he still felt that this mission should be given to Wang Hao, Su Bing, Mo Youxue as well as Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue.

    "Before the troops arrive, the food will be the first." This was common knowledge among the soldiers.

    Although the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army was moving towards them step by step, their speed was still not slow. As soon as the disciples who escaped back after a sneak attack reorganized themselves, the The Divine King''s Mansion had already arrived in the capital city.

    "Everyone, this battle originally has nothing to do with you. I believe that there are many people present who do not wish to fight, as everyone is afraid of death, who would willingly go to the battlefield for no reason? But I still hope that you can put forth your full strength to fight the enemy. " Xia Xuan faced those disciples of the Shafts who were fully prepared and ready to go, and said, "Don''t underestimate this war, because when you are still immersed in your peaceful lives, the chaotic world has arrived, and this battle will be the beginning of the chaotic world."

    Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the Old Man at the front of the army. That Old Man was leaning on a walking stick, looking to be in his seventies. Of course, his real age was probably more than a thousand years old.

    It should be known that although Guo Yong was an elder, he was the youngest and had the weakest strength. Therefore, Xia Xuan had brought along this elder called Pingzhi, whose strength had already stopped at the peak of the second stage Profound Emperor for many years. Although it was not comparable to the strength of the first two, with the cooperation of the others, he should still be able to fight.

    "Don''t worry, ancestor. This old man will do his best to repay the ancestor''s kindness." After that, a huge wave of spiritual energy surged out of his body, and there was a wave of death aura coming from within the spiritual energy.

    When a person reached over a thousand years old, their strength would not be able to improve at all. At this time, people would usually choose to train in the death aura, and if they could train the death aura to the extreme, then they would have an immortal body, and the death aura would be much stronger than the spiritual energy s. Only, their cultivation would not be able to make any further progress.

    It was obvious that he was training with the aura of death, but it was obvious that the aura of death was not much.

    In the end, the two armies met each other. Pudding along with the disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion, they looked down on Xia Xuan and the others from above. Xia Xuan and the others did not show any weakness either.

    "Kill!" The two of them spoke out at the same time, the simple word ''kill'' drew the attention of the two armies, and the two armies clashed against each other, causing the sounds of battle and screams, and the clashing of weapons to echo out. Blood immediately rained down like rain, and from time to time, someone would fall from the sky and create a large crater in the ground.

    Just as the two armies were fighting, dozens of grain warehouses were set up in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Iron, a neighbour of the Xing Bei Empire. There were also many disciples in The Divine King''s Mansion attire patrolling the area.

    There was a mountain not far from the grain warehouse, the reason why Pudding put the food here was to use these mountains to hide the food. Although he felt that a fallen Deicide like Ye Kong had nothing to be afraid of, he still took the food seriously. Of course, as the reincarnation of the Feather God, it was still easy for Shangguan Zelong to find a grain depot. After all, birds were his eyes.

    At this moment, five figures were hidden on the mountain. Even though they were extremely far from Xing Bei, they could still feel the waves of spiritual energy from the battle between the two armies. With tens of thousands of experts fighting, the commotion caused was not small.

    Crouching behind the bushes, Wang Hao held the Flame Sun Knife, feeling the movements of the war between the two armies, his gaze immediately turned towards the other four positions. After he made sure that the other four people were ready, he couldn''t help but tighten his grip on the Flame Sun Knife.

 C213

    Chapter 213 - Grain cut

    In the center of the granary was a tent. At this moment, there were a few people drinking and chatting inside the tent.

    "Haha, this time, I''m afraid the Xing Bei Empire won''t be able to escape." There were many familiar figures in the tent. There was Iron Cofferdam Empire''s Tie Ge, Wanhua Empire''s Xu Qing, and even Di Yue Empire''s Shuo Ling. Ge Yan drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp and then happily said, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

    When Xia Xuan had Xing Bei and Wulong form an alliance, the three nations became at a disadvantage. Then, the Beiquan Empire, the Tiger Roar Empire and the Snow Wind Empire all expressed their intentions to form an alliance with Xing Bei. Now that the The Divine King''s Mansion was going to deal with Xing Bei, they would naturally not give up on this great opportunity. Although they would not be able to help, they could still provide the grain depot.

    "I still have to thank you three for providing me with the grain depot. In this battle between the two armies, the grain was the most important. My The Divine King''s Mansion will definitely remember your kindness in my heart." At the head of the tent was a man in armor. This man''s name was Gong Rong, and her strength was as high as Grade Five Mysterious Sect.

    GongRong naturally didn''t believe that someone would dare to openly rob him of the food. When he was bored, he would find three people to drink and have fun with him.

    When the three of them heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. The The Divine King''s Mansion was an existence that was on par with the seven great clans, and if they could curry favor with such a power, then the future of their three great empires would be limitless.

    "Reporting, someone is robbing the grain." Just as Gong Rong was happily chatting with the three of them, a disciple rushed in and knelt on the ground as he hurriedly said this.

    "What!" Everyone was shocked. They never thought that there would actually be someone who would dare to rob them.

    After the surprise, anger appeared on Gong Rong''s face, and an enormous spiritual energy burst out of Gong Rong''s body, transforming into an afterimage as he rushed out of the tent.

    When they arrived outside the camp, Gong Rong immediately saw binocular''s eyes wide open. At the moment, every grain depot was already on fire, the entire granary was in a mess, there were many people trying to fight against the fire, and there were also many people fighting.

    Not far from the grain warehouse, Wang Hao''s group of five blocked the The Divine King''s Mansion disciples who had rushed over to fight against the fire. Right now, Wang Hao''s group of five were not weak.

    But he did not want to go and deal with them at the moment. The reason he was left here was to guard the grain, if the grain was burnt out, he would probably be punished.

    Without any hesitation, the gigantic spiritual energy rushed straight out of GongRong''s body. The spiritual energy covered the granary and wanted to extinguish the fire.

    Unexpectedly, something happened. When the proud spiritual energy s completely covered the grain depot, the fire did not go out, but instead, the glorious spiritual energy s were set ablaze, causing the fire to become even stronger.

    "What!" Of course, he did not know that this fire was from a Flame Sun Knife. If a divine instrument''s fire was extinguished by a mere Grade Five Mysterious Sect, then that Flame Sun Knife would be unworthy of its title.

    Seeing that there was no hope left for the fire, the anger in Gong Rong''s heart reached its peak at once. The already bloodstained binocular looked towards Wang Hao and the other three ferociously. At this time, the five were still fighting the disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion. Of course, in the hands of the five of them, those disciples didn''t even have the strength to fight back.

    He revealed the aura of his Grade Five Mysterious Sect, then suddenly stomped on the ground, creating a huge crater, while he himself transformed into a ray of light and shot towards Wang Hao''s group of five.

    Just as Gong Rong rushed towards the five of them, the five of them looked at each other, and from each of their faces, one could see a smile. After that, the soul quietly possessed their bodies, and the five people''s auras instantly rose to the first stage of Mysterious Sect.

    Five first stage Mysterious Sect meant nothing in the eyes of a single Grade Five Mysterious Sect. It had to be known that once one''s Mysterious Sect reached this level, with every increase in one''s cultivation, their strength would increase by several fold.

    What truly made Gong Rong vigilant was the Flame Sun Knife in Wang Hao''s hands. He could naturally tell, the Flame Sun Knife was a divine instrument, and it was a first stage Mysterious Sect expert who was holding onto a divine instrument. Even if he shared the glory, his Grade Five Mysterious Sect, he still had to treat it with caution.

    Gong Rong didn''t use any Weapons, because ordinary weapons were useless in front of divine instrument. With the spiritual energy in his hands, Gong Rong unleashed his full speed to the max, and with Wang Hao''s current strength, he could only see a ray of light. Of course, just because Wang Hao could not keep up with the others, did not mean that they could not keep up.

    Just as Gong Rong was getting close to Wang Hao, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. Gong Rong was shocked. He hurriedly turned around and threw a punch at the black shadow. However, when his fist hit the black shadow, the shadow dissipated, leaving only an afterimage.

    In terms of cultivation level, the current Su Bing was not very high, but in terms of speed, no one was willing to concede. If they wanted to quickly take care of the most troublesome Wang Hao, they would have to face Su Bing''s obstruction.

    Once his attack missed, Gong Rong was startled, but he quickly reacted, the spiritual energy started to revolve once again, and was about to rush towards Wang Hao.

    Right at this moment, countless vine s suddenly burst out from the ground, wrapping their hands and feet around Gong Rong, causing him to be unable to move in that instant. With Mo Haoxue''s current strength, it was extremely difficult for him to trap someone like Gong Rong. The vine that trapped Gong Rong for an instant had exploded.

    Although it was only for an instant, it was definitely fatal for a Mysterious Sect Ranker. In that moment, Su Bing and Mo Youxue had already arrived in front of Gong Rong at the same time, Su Bing''s shadow had turned into a sharp blade while Mo Haoxue had turned into a leopard shaped blade. The sharp blades and the leopard claws attacked Gong Rong at the same time, and even though Gong Rong was a Grade Five Mysterious Sect Ranker, she could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

    At such a time, it was hard for GongRong to defend himself, so under that helpless situation, a huge spiritual energy exploded out from his body. Under the impact of the spiritual energy, both Su Bing and Su Bing were blown away.

    This kind of defense was usually only used when one''s strength was far above the opponent''s, because even though this type of defense had a large range and power, it consumed an extremely terrifying amount of spiritual energy.

    Just at this moment, countless vine s burst out from GongRong''s body, and then, GongRong''s entire being could not move at all.

    Following the increase in his strength, Mo Haoxue''s ability to control plants had also greatly improved. Just when the vine was about to share the glory, the vine''s seeds had already quietly been planted on its body.

    The vine that burst out still controlled Gong Rong for an instant before exploding into powder, but in that instant, Wang Hao had already arrived in front of Gong Rong, and the Flame Sun Knife was already in front of Gong Rong''s head.

    The entire battle was organized. Mo Haoxue was in charge of control, Su Bing and Mo Youxue were in charge of harassment, Wang Hao was in charge of attack and Shangguan Zelong was in charge of dealing with sudden situations.

    After Wang Hao''s Flame Sun Knife cleaved down, a head fell onto the ground. Although the cultivation levels of the five of them couldn''t compare to the glory, but with the combination of all of them, a mere Profound King of the Fifth Rank couldn''t compare to them.

    The surrounding disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion all retreated a few meters, all of them were from Grade Five Mysterious Sect, and died just like that?

 C214

    Chapter 214 - Backhand (1)

    The five of them intimidated everyone at the scene. Regardless of how widespread the fire was, the five of them still charged forward. Each of them were considering whether to flee or surrender, and only gave up on resisting.

    Just then, Wang Hao''s gaze turned towards the camp in the middle of the granary, where three people were sneakily trying to slip away. Those three were none other than Xu Qing, Tie Ge and Shuo Ling.

    Sensing Wang Hao''s gaze, the three of them stabilized themselves, gritted their teeth, and flew into the sky at the same time. The three of them actually wanted to escape by force.

    With these three people leading the way, the disciples of the other The Divine King''s Mansion s immediately activated their spiritual energy s and flew in all directions. Under these circumstances, they could still escape, and as long as they were not captured, it would be good for them to die.

    As the disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion escaped, Shangguan Zelong, who was in charge of handling the special situation, did not have much of a reaction. He looked towards the sky, and saw spiritual energy appearing from almost all directions, who had surrounded them.

    Following that, countless of army troops surged over from every direction. The disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion who wanted to escape immediately had nowhere to run to, and Xu Qing and the other two were no exception.

    Looking around, he immediately saw the leader of the troops, who was none other than Wulong Empire''s Wu Min. When Xing Bei was fighting the The Divine King''s Mansion, he actually brought someone to cut off The Divine King''s Mansion''s rations.

    Wu Min brought Soldiers and slowly shrank the encirclement. The disciples of The Divine King''s Mansion also slowly retreated and in the end, all the disciples of The Divine King''s Mansion squatted down on the ground with their hands behind their heads, not daring to resist at all. Only Xu Qing, Tie Ge and Shuo Shou were not willing to squat.

    Wu Min''s gaze swept across the five of them. When Wu Min saw the bloody Flame Sun Knife in''s hands and the shared honor of having a head on the ground, he immediately understood that the five of them were not his enemies.

    "Wulong, we are Xia Xuan''s friends, we are here to rob food." Wang Hao kept his Flame Sun Knife and cupped his hands towards Wu Min and said. Back then during the competition, Wu Min had met Wang Hao and the others, so he was able to recognize them instantly.

    "You''re welcome. I received the news that the The Divine King''s Mansion was going to attack Northern Star City, but as a small empire like myself, I couldn''t do anything about it. So I came here to cut down the food, but I didn''t expect that I was too late." Wu Min laughed.

    When Wang Hao and the other three heard this, they all felt admiration for Wu Min. As the king of a small empire, when he knew that such a huge monster like the The Divine King''s Mansion was going to attack Northern Star City, he actually did not choose to ignore it. Instead, he wanted to openly make the The Divine King''s Mansion his enemy by cutting off their rations. Wu Min had formed an alliance quite well.

    At this time, in the distant skies above Xing Bei Empire, the sounds of countless disciples killing could be heard unceasingly, and the ground was already dyed red. This was a true blood battle, the battle had just started, and both sides had already paid a heavy price.

    In this blood-soaked battlefield, four figures were standing in the air, completely unmoved by the intensity of the battle.

    Although the four of them didn''t move, the surrounding disciples didn''t dare to find trouble with them. Whether or not they killed them, the four of them were all targets of fear.

    At the Profound Emperor level, all the food within a thousand mile radius could be clearly felt. A small empire like Xing Bei was naturally not as wide as a thousand miles, so he could still sense the situation in the distant granary. This despicable Xing Bei actually broke his granary at this time.

    Now that the rations had been destroyed, he could only choose to end the battle quickly.

    The gigantic spiritual energy rushed out, and then, it instantly revolved its body and charged explosively towards Xia Xuan. Hence, he only needed to kill Xia Xuan and complete the mission. As for the others, they were just existences to be reckoned with.

    Right now, Xia Xuan was dressed in the Zhenghu blood armor''s clothes, holding onto the flamethrower that had broken the seal, he held onto the book on the blood light as he floated by his side. The blood light from the book illuminated Xia Xuan''s body, causing his strength to increase. With the amplification of the Book of Blood Aura, Xia Xuan''s cultivation temporarily broke through to the first stage of Mysterious Sect. Adding the Zhenghu blood armor and the flamethrower, even a first stage Profound Emperor was not his opponent.

    As soon as the pelt moved, Pingzhi had already blocked in front of Xia Xuan, and the walking stick with an aura of death was violently thrusted towards the pelt.

 C215

    Chapter 215 - Posterior (2)

    The only difference between the Death Qi and the spiritual energy was that wounds caused by it were very difficult to treat. Basically, only extreme yang could cure the injuries caused by the Death Qi, but extreme yang was already equivalent to a Divine General.

    With a trace of obstructing, the pumpkin''s figure began to back off, and the binocular began to search everywhere, trying to find a breakthrough point.

    At this time, the sky turned dark. When Phew Den looked over, he saw a giant palm suddenly fall from the sky. The giant palm contained a gigantic spiritual energy and even Phew Dink could not help but feel a chill in his heart. The Heaven Decapitating Palm of the Top Martial Arts of the Shafts, combined with all of Guo Yong''s Grade Nine Mysterious Sect, such a strike was more than enough to pose a threat to him.

    With both hands, he activated spiritual energy s and forcefully collided with the giant palm. Even though the giant palm looked like an ant to the pumpkin, when the giant palm hit the giant palm, the giant palm could no longer strike down, and there were still some cracks appearing on the giant palm. The difference in strength between Guo Yong and the pumpkin was still too big.

    Not long later, the huge palm exploded, and Guo Yong who was at the top of the huge palm was also affected, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly becoming pale.

    The attack did not stop at all, and after the pumpkin blocked Guo Yong''s attack, Pingzhi, who was already holding onto a walking stick, displayed a speed that did not differ in the slightest from his age, and rushed towards the pelt.

    The death aura spiraling around the crutch made him feel a pang of fear.

    Before he could get close to it, a three foot long large knife appeared in his hand. The blade was completely golden and there was a golden dragon coiling around the blade.

    As an elder of the The Divine King''s Mansion, it was naturally impossible for him to not have a Weapons. This long blade was called the Overlord''s Colossal Blade, and if it was an existence ranked in the top ten of ordinary weapons, its might could be said to be unmatched by other ordinary weapons.

    Looking at the Overlord''s Saber, Xia Xuan immediately emitted a greedy glow. Amongst all common artifacts, the Overlord''s Saber was considered to be the strongest, but that evil aura was not something normal people could endure. It could only be obtained by someone fated to have it. Of course, what attracted Xia Xuan''s attention the most was the Overlord''s Colossal Blade''s growth rate. If it could grow, then it would have potential.

    He took out his Overlord''s Saber and immediately exchanged a blow with Pimping. In the face of the Overlord''s Saber in his hand, Pimping was immediately knocked back a few steps.

    Just as he was about to take advantage of this opportunity, Xia Xuan suddenly appeared in front of him. The flamethrower s swirled around like a whirlpool at the tip of the flamethrower, tearing a few small cracks on the surrounding spiritual energy s.

    He did not expect that Xia Xuan''s attack power would be so terrifying. He immediately brandished his Overlord''s Saber and rushed towards the flamethrower.

    Just as the two collided, Pingzhi had already arrived, waving his walking stick. The aura of death coiled around the cane made him not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

    "Ping Ping Ping Pang Pang Pang", their weapons clashed, and sparks continuously exploded out. In the face of Xia Xuan''s attack, which was aimed at him, the pumpkin had to struggle to resist, as whether it was, who used the Death Qi to attack or the one with the Three Great God s equipment, both of these weapons were things that the pumpkin were afraid of.

    "Is this what you meant by a simple mission? You still underestimate Deicide. " Just as the pelt was about to collapse, a mocking laugh suddenly rang out. Following that, a wave of spiritual energy surged over and immediately pulled the pelt away.

 C216

    Chapter 216 - Death Wars

    Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events. During the battle with Xia Xuan and the others, everyone had a reaction to it, they thought that if things went on like this, they would definitely lose, but no one expected an accident to happen.

    Numerous gazes looked towards a certain direction in the sky. There were two figures there, and a man wearing a golden robe stood in the sky. The man had a delicate and pretty appearance, and his hair, which was comparable to that of a girl''s, was scattered down, causing him to appear extremely enchanting.

    In the man''s hand, the pelt was lightly lifted. Just the aura of this person alone was enough to cause many people to feel their breathing stagnate.

    "You are Darknorth?" When Xia Xuan saw the long-haired man, his face couldn''t help but darken. In his previous life, when he was a Deicide, he had a certain understanding of the The Divine King''s Mansion, and this golden-haired man held the position of an elder in The Divine King''s Mansion, moreover, his position was much higher than a pumpkin.

    Xia Xuan originally thought that the The Divine King''s Mansion sending someone like him was very worthy, but he never thought that there would be such a strong Ranker following behind this army. With Xia Xuan''s current strength, dealing with such an expert was practically as difficult as ascending to the sky.

    In a hopeless situation, such a situation was simply a hopeless situation. In front of absolute strength, all tricks were useless, even Xia Xuan did not know how to survive this crisis.

    "Lord God of Death, I will burn everything to help you overcome this calamity." Right at this moment, a voice sounded out from within Xia Xuan''s heart. It was the voice of the Soldier King.

    Xia Xuan was dumbstruck. Burning the soul s would be impossible, and Xia Xuan would never choose to do something like this. Burning another person''s soul s for his own sake, was simply not something a single person should do.

    "I have made up my mind. I will focus on facing the enemy." Xia Xuan said firmly. He no longer bothered with Soldier King and immediately activated his spiritual energy, rushing towards Beiming Ce. At a time like this, the only thing he could do was deal with Darknorth with that attack.

    Seeing Xia Xuan rushing over, Darknorth shook the pelt off and revealed the aura of the Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank. A huge wave of spiritual energy condensed in her hand and she immediately grabbed at the flamethrower.

    This time, the flamethrower''s sharpness could no longer help Xia Xuan.

    After blocking Xia Xuan''s attack, Beiming Shang used a bit of force and the flamethrower was firmly grabbed by him.

    Xia Xuan tried his best to pull back the flamethrower, but he couldn''t do it no matter what.

    Since the flamethrower was being controlled, Xia Xuan''s figure immediately retreated. At the same time, a huge spiritual energy rushed out, followed by a gigantic shadow rising from Xia Xuan''s back. The dense killing intent and blood Qi that was suffocating, the figure of the Heaven and Earth seemed tiny in front of him, wasn''t that the soul of the Deicide?

    Just as Northern Meditation was about to attack Xia Xuan, the flamethrower started to frantically spin. With the resistance of a single divine instrument, even though he was an expert of Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank, he did not dare to let the flamethrower go.

    After being sealed, the flamethrower''s aura immediately disappeared. Other than being a little harder than normal weapons, it had already lost all of its power. With regards to the flamethrower that was sealed, Darknorth flung it away disdainfully, letting the flamethrower land on the ground without even taking a look at it.

    Right at this moment, the Deicide''s Soul was already standing behind Xia Xuan, revealing his terrifying killing intent.

    Even if the current Deicide''s soul was only a remnant soul, its strength was still something that couldn''t be underestimated. Furthermore, the current Xia Xuan still had the support of the Three Great God''s tools, so it wouldn''t be impossible for the current Xia Xuan to fight against him alone.

    Against such a Xia Xuan, Beiming Shang did not dare to underestimate him, but he was not afraid either.

    That figure looked very familiar, and what followed it was an imposing aura. Feeling that aura, everything could not help but want to bow in worship, whether it was The Divine King''s Mansion disciples or Shafts disciples, all of them knelt in the air, even the plants had to bend slightly.

    The huge shadow''s face was blank, without any facial features, just a few; it was silhouette, but it did not look terrifying at all. Instead, it looked a little sacred. Xia Xuan could not be more familiar with this huge shadow, because this huge shadow was his mortal enemy, the Celestial King!

    As an elder of the The Divine King''s Mansion, Beiming Ce naturally possessed the power bestowed to him by the Celestial King. Although this was only a strand of power that the Celestial King had casually bestowed to him, it could still be extremely useful to the incomplete Deicide.

    Right now, there was only Xia Xuan and Darknorth still fighting on the battlefield, and what they were competing on was the power of the Deicide and the power of the Celestial King. Having died in the hands of the Celestial King in his previous life, Xia Xuan could not lose no matter what.

    The Deicide''s Soul and the image of the Celestial King stood in a confrontation for a while, then the Deicide''s Soul moved first. The Deicide''s Soul spread open his arms, and in the hands of the Deicide''s Soul, there seemed to be an invisible bow.

    Everything was afraid, on the formless bow, the formless arrows seemed to have penetrated through six paths, when the formless arrows were placed on the formless bow, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy were forced to flee, even with the Celestial King''s divine presence suppressing them, they were useless, no matter who it was, they would still escape.

    The image of the Celestial King would not look on, when the Deicide''s Soul pulled the invisible arrow, the imposing big hand of the Celestial King''s Soul also raised up high, a golden greatsword that symbolized the authority of the Celestial King appeared in the air, the greatsword released an incomparably divine aura, splitting the sky in half with the invisible arrow.

    In almost an instant, the invisible arrows and the golden holy sword flew out at the same time. The two huge monsters hadn''t even collided yet, so everyone could already predict what would happen next.

    "Boom!" An enormous collision sound rang out. The sound was very low and deep, causing the entire place to turn dark. The collision between the two giant objects was a direct result of the erosion of energy. One could clearly see that in the middle of the two energies eroding each other, space could no longer withstand the immense force and began to crack open.

    In the end, the two waves of energy completely dissipated, revealing a shocking scene. Half of the entire capital had disappeared, and a gigantic Sky Cavern was laid in front of everyone. As for Xia Xuan and Beiming Ce, they had both disappeared.

    Everyone was shocked. The destructive power of these two people was unfathomable. However, they had mysteriously disappeared. This made people puzzled after thinking about it for a long time.

 C217

    Chapter 217 - Six Paths of Reincarnation

    There was no point of support in this world. You could only float aimlessly, not knowing where you were going to land, not even knowing if there was any danger in front of you. Perhaps in the next second, you would be destroyed by some mysterious force.

    At this time, there were two additional things in the void. One was the The black-haired youth, and the other was the long-haired man. These two things were Xia Xuan and Darknorth.

    The current Xia Xuan and Bei Ming were both out of energy, as the two of them floated in the air, completely unresponsive. He could see the wide open eyes of the Northern Nether Realm''s binocular, he thought that with Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank''s strength, he could easily crush Xia Xuan, but he never expected that both of them would suffer in the end.

    Regardless of whether it was Hei Ming or Xia Xuan, there were no spiritual energy left in their bodies. Furthermore, no spiritual energy existed in this space, so without the spiritual energy, they were unable to leave this place and could not resist the hunger.

    Xia Xuan and Darknorth turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other in the distance. They could see the resentment in the other''s eyes and that this battle would cost them their lives.

    Surprisingly, the two of them both let out a sneer at the same time. Then, the two of them tilted their heads to the side, but their smiles didn''t diminish in the slightest. Although the two of them were going to die, Beiming Shang felt that he had accomplished his mission, and that Xing Bei had not died yet, so Xia Xuan thought that it would not be bad for him.

    "Hey, what was that last arrow you shot?" Darknorth suddenly asked, even with his over a thousand years of experience, he still did not know what the formless arrow that Xia Xuan summoned was.

    "Do you know anything about the Six Paths?" Xia Xuan did not treat Darknorth as his enemy and directly replied his question.

    "Beyond the Six Paths!" Is your arrow something other than the Six Paths? " In those worlds, there were some Mainland that had the ability to suppress the Tian Lin Continent on a daily basis, and there were also some Mainland that did not have anyone training in their spiritual energy. This world was never boring.

    If Xia Xuan''s invisible arrow came from outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would be a little terrifying, because even the Celestial King was unable to tear through the Six Paths of Samsara. Even if he had to summon such a huge arrow from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it would be more than enough to wear the Celestial King down. Maybe, the Deicide had long surpassed the Celestial King.

    "You are really impressive, you actually managed to do something that Lord Celestial King was unable to do." Darknorth let out a helpless smile, and then he no longer said anything, allowing himself to float in the air.

    Floating aimlessly in the air, without knowing how long it would last, and without knowing where it would float to, Xia Xuan was bored to the point of closing his binocular and allowing himself to drift freely.

    He did not know how much time had passed, or where he had floated to. Xia Xuan felt tired, or whether he was going to sleep soon, he did not know how long this sleep would take, because the spirit medicine he obtained in the ancient ruins was still useless. That medicine could recover the soul of the Deicide, but with Xia Xuan''s current cultivation, he was unable to withstand the effects of the medicine. In other words, if Xia Xuan were to die now, he would not have a chance to reincarnate.

    Unable to realize his ambitions, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

    After opening the binocular, Xia Xuan wanted to take one last look at this world. Even if it was just a void, it was fine to take a look.

    No matter how far one looked, all they could see was nothingness.

    Suddenly, a small speck of dust floated over, it was extremely difficult to detect in the dark void, and only when it reached Xia Xuan did he discover it. To Xia Xuan, who was on the verge of death, having such a small speck of dust to accompany him in this endless void was something to be happy about.

    "That''s not right." Just when Xia Xuan was deeply moved by this speck of dust, he finally realised something. Where was this place? This was the border of the Six Paths. It was impossible for something to exist here. However, a speck of dust suddenly appeared. Perhaps this speck of dust was a sliver of life.

    Xia Xuan, who had just realised something, immediately extended his hand and grabbed the speck of dust.

    "Hong", he grabbed onto the dust, and a wave of spiritual energy appeared from within Xia Xuan''s dantian. That spiritual energy was extremely huge, so large that Xia Xuan''s cultivation could not even hold on much longer, and at such a moment, Xia Xuan actually folded his legs, and grabbed the dust, and entered into a state of cultivation.

    It was impossible for such dust to exist in the Six Daos, but there was one thing other than that, and that thing was not dust. It was the beginning of all things, and the beginning of all things was a speck of dust, whether animal or plant, it was only a tiny speck of dust at the beginning of this world.

    At this time, Xia Xuan had encountered an opportunity, he had also seized this opportunity, and if he could absorb the energy of this speck of dust, then Xia Xuan would have the chance to leave, and there would be a possibility for him to survive.

    In the midst of this nothingness, there was no concept of time, but he could still clearly feel the passage of time. When Beiming Shang felt that death was around the corner, his gaze drifted towards Xia Xuan, then became stunned. As time passed, Xia Xuan''s aura also increased by leaps and bounds, and in the end, his cultivation had broken through twice, reaching the realm of a ninth stage Mystical King.

    Xia Xuan''s cultivation had broken through to the ninth stage of Mystical King, and it did not take long before he was unable to absorb any more, and his aura finally stopped at the ninth stage of Mystical King.

    Opening the closed binocular, Xia Xuan felt the abundant spiritual energy in his body, and his face couldn''t help but reveal a satisfied smile. As long as there was a spiritual energy, they could use the spiritual energy to resist hunger, and there was a possibility of escaping.

    Slowly opening his palm, Xia Xuan looked at the speck of dust that was quietly lying on his hand, then looked at Beiming who was staring at him from afar, and finally, Xia Xuan threw the speck of dust towards Beiming.

    Beiming Shang was shocked. Although they had chatted a little before and both of them had a good impression of each other, this did not change their relationship. Right now, the two were enemies, and they were mortal enemies.

    Although he was shocked, Darknorth still reached out to catch the speck of dust, and threw a doubtful and grateful gaze towards Xia Xuan before finally sitting down cross-legged and starting to cultivate.

    Seeing that Darknorth had entered into a state of cultivation, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned to look around. Although he had the spiritual energy now, this did not mean that he could directly leave this place. One must know that this place was a six sided border, so other than luck, one can only rely on powerful strength.

    The hope was still slim. Whether or not he could escape this place all depended on his own hard work.

    Xia Xuan raised his hand horizontally, and then an invisible force surged out. That was the power of the six paths that the Lord of the Five Realms had comprehended after passing the inheritance onto Xia Xuan, so the most effective way to leave this place was to use the power of six paths.

    Chapter 218 - Change in Chaos

    Looking at the weak six lines of power in his hands, the brow could not help but frown. Wanting to leave the six borders, just this small amount of power was not enough, but Xia Xuan only comprehended this little of the power of six lines, it was truly a headache for him.

    "Kid, hold back your consciousness. Look at your dantian." Just at this moment, the voice of the Deicide''s Soul sounded. The voice was a little hurried, as if something had happened.

    Xia Xuan anxiously kept his consciousness, and when he saw what happened in the dantian, his heart immediately rose. Amongst the dantian, the spiritual energy was floating, but it was just that the spiritual energy was ethereal, like the power of the six paths, and it was a sign that the energy that absorbed the dust had not been completely refined.

    In the center of the dantian, a ball of primal chaos attracted Xia Xuan''s gaze. That ball of chaos was something that appeared in his body after cultivating the Evil Being. However, the orb of Primal Chaos had produced a few thin needles and the power of those needles was still fresh in Xia Xuan''s memory.

    At this time, the orb of Primal Chaos had undergone an earth-shattering change. It had grown to a size that was ten times larger, so even if Xia Xuan himself entered it, he probably wouldn''t feel crowded. The orb of primal chaos was no longer in a frozen state. There seemed to be liquid flowing within it, and through the light, a figure could be seen.

    Right now, the orb of Primal Chaos was within his own dantian. If there was anything special about this orb of primal chaos, Xia Xuan would not be able to handle it. Therefore, when facing the oddity of the orb of primal chaos, Xia Xuan was extremely vigilant.

    "Crack!" A crack suddenly appeared on the orb. The crack was very thin, but it was this crack that caused the orb to gradually collapse. The crack soon covered the entire orb, and it seemed like the orb could explode at any moment.

    "What is this?" Xia Xuan couldn''t help but mumble as he looked at the chaos balls that were filled with cracks. Right now, Xia Xuan was afraid that the orb of Primal Chaos would produce something strong, if that thing was too strong and thought of possessing someone, he was afraid that he would really be finished.

    "Boom!" Just as Xia Xuan was muttering to himself, an explosion sounded and then the orb of primal chaos actually exploded. An astonishingly large amount of primal chaos energy exploded from the orb of primal chaos and instantly filled the entire dantian.

    Even with Xia Xuan''s current strength, he was actually unable to withstand the immense power of Primal Chaos. The instant after the orb of chaos exploded, Xia Xuan''s dantian showed signs of crumbling.

    Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Xuan''s consciousness immediately recovered. After which, he immediately activated all the meridian in his body, and the energy of primal chaos flooded into his meridian like a flood. In an instant, five hundred meridian were filled with it, and if one could see the meridian in Xia Xuan''s body, it would be an absolutely spectacular sight.

    The Chaotic Force circulated for a week in the meridian, and in the end, entered the dantian''s body. Every time the Chaotic Force circulated for a lap, it would be compressed a little bit, and if this continued, the Chaotic Force would become incomparably condensed, making it easier for the dantian to contain the Chaotic Force.

    Awkward, the Chaotic Force circulated within Xia Xuan''s body for close to a hundred rounds. The Chaotic Force that was so condensed that it was almost solid could no longer circulate.

    At this moment, a surge of devouring energy came from an unknown source. The nearly solidified Chaotic Force was actually sucked away.

    A large amount of the Chaotic Force was sucked away, and the remaining Chaotic Force immediately began to circulate. When the suction disappeared, the remaining Chaotic Force still filled Xia Xuan''s dantian.

    As his consciousness once again entered the dantian, Xia Xuan pushed away the dense Chaotic Force, walking slowly. Xia Xuan still did not know what the orb of Primal Chaos gave birth to, but he believed that the thing that had absorbed the energy of primal chaos was the thing that was nurtured by the orb of primal chaos. Since that thing did not harm him, it might help him out of his predicament.

    After walking for a while among the dantian, Xia Xuan did not find anything. Just as Xia Xuan was about to give up, the power of primal chaos behind him suddenly moved, as if a figure appeared behind him, a voice sounded out: "Are you looking for me?"

    Xia Xuan was startled, he anxiously turned around, and at the same time, pulled away from the direction of the sound.

    That man''s body was still very muscular. Compared to Xia Xuan, who was twice as tall and muscular, it was just that the man was currently naked, and if not for the power of primal chaos being too dense, Xia Xuan would have been able to see everything.

    "What are you afraid of? It''s not like I''m going to hurt you." The man was not ashamed at all. Not only did he not plan on hiding anything, he even scratched his head and said with a simple and honest smile.

    Xia Xuan felt helpless. He took out a piece of cloth from his storage ring and threw it to the man.

    The man clumsily put on his clothes, then strode to Xia Xuan, extended his hand and said: "Hello, my name is Peng Hong, according to you people from this world, I come from outside the Six Paths."

    Originally, Xia Xuan was curious as to how the orb of Primal Chaos could produce such a clumsy person, but when he heard the man say that he came from outside the Six Paths of Primal Chaos, the doubt on his face immediately turned into shock. The Six Paths of Chaos could be said to be the most mysterious existence in the Tian Lin Continent.

    At the same time, to be able to tear apart six paths to reach Tian Lin Continent, the man in front of him who claimed to be Peng Hong was definitely not simple.

    My name is Xia Xuan, why would you come to this Mainland? Xia Xuan held Peng Hong''s hand and asked.

    "Our Mainland had a Infernal King that escaped all the way here. I''m here to chase him." Peng Hong stroked his chin and said this after pondering for a while.

    "Oh!" Hearing that, Xia Xuan understood what was going on immediately. No wonder the Celestial King turned into this, thinking back to when the Celestial King killed him, that evil power must be the Exotic Devil King.

    "So, it was your negligence that caused the world to fall into disarray on our side?" Xia Xuan was sure of the guess in his heart, but he immediately turned to look at Peng Hong. The Exotic Devil King had already secretly controlled the Celestial King, but Peng Hong was still sleeping inside the orb of Primal Chaos.

    "That''s not it, the Infernal King is powerful, I can''t handle them alone!" Peng Hong was anxious and hurriedly explained.

    What kind of excuse do you have? Quickly drag me back to the Mainland from here, or else I''ll see how you are going to punish you for neglecting your duty. " Xia Xuan snorted coldly, since this Peng Hong was so honest, then it would be too easy for him to help her.

    "Don''t worry, I''m here to bring you back to the Mainland." Peng Hong said with a simple and honest smile.

 C219

    Chapter 219 - Eyes (1)

    As he regained consciousness, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but reveal a smile on his face. Since this Peng Hong came from outside the Six Paths area, he must have the ability to tear apart six lines. Thinking about it, leaving the Six Paths area shouldn''t be a difficult task.

    After looking at the world that was still a void, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned to Darknorth, who was still cultivating. Through absorbing the energy of the dust, Darknorth''s aura had also increased. Although it had not broken through the bottleneck of the Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank, Xia Xuan could vaguely feel that Darknorth had already reached the peak of the Profound Emperor of the Fourth Rank.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze then turned to the surrounding space. Although Xia Xuan did not have the ability to tear apart space, it was still possible to see where the spatial strength was weak.

    In the eyes of an ordinary person, this place was merely a world of nothingness, but in Xia Xuan''s eyes, this place was filled with the circulation of countless amounts of spatial energy. The spatial energy that seemed to be mixed together seemed to have a kind of wondrous pattern, and after observing for a long time, Xia Xuan was able to tell with a single glance that there was an extremely weak spatial energy in this place, and that this was the best place to break through.

    Arriving at the selected space, Xia Xuan squatted in the air, and his eyes were fixated at the void. Towards this place where the spatial energy was the weakest, Xia Xuan could still barely comprehend a hint of the spatial energy, but this sort of comprehension seemed to be of no use.

    "Brat, give me your body." Suddenly, Peng Hong''s voice came out.

    It was an extremely risky action to let someone else control his body. Although this Peng Hong looked honest and honest, who could guarantee that he wouldn''t have the thought of seizing someone after controlling his own body? After all, the human heart was separated from the stomach.

    "Can''t you come out and do it yourself?" Xia Xuan was not at ease, and naturally did not immediately agree, and immediately said.

    "That person over there is a member of the The Divine King''s Mansion. If the Celestial King finds out about my existence, how many enemies do you think you''ll be facing next?" Peng Hong said again, and couldn''t help but make it difficult for Xia Xuan. He was still worried about letting someone, who looked simple, honest, and had heaven defying strength, control his body.

    "Don''t worry. If I had plotted against you, I wouldn''t have given you the Devil Slayer Needle. Moreover, with your strength, wouldn''t it be easy for me to do anything to you?" As if he knew what Xia Xuan was worried about, Peng Hong spoke again. This way, Xia Xuan would feel more at ease.

    "Alright, you do it." Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, finally making his decision. Then, his binocular suddenly became listless, and in an instant, he became like a zombie, as though he had lost his soul.

    However, this state of mind only lasted for a moment, and in that instant, the binocular regained its consciousness. However, its expression seemed to have changed as if it had transformed into a different person.

    After Peng Hong attached himself to Xia Xuan, he first shook hands with him, feeling the body that did not belong to him, then could not help but look down, the person there was a man''s lifeblood.

    "Hey, what are you looking at?!" Amongst the dantian, Xia Xuan noticed Peng Hong''s actions and was immediately worried. He believed that no matter who it was, they would be anxious if they were to be looked at like this by others.

    "What are you afraid of? It''s not like I''m going to do anything to you. It''s just that you''re still young." Peng Hong laughed, and his face could not help but reveal a wretched expression, one could only imagine how much trouble he would have in his mind.

    "Mind your own business, hurry up and bring me out of here." Xia Xuan said in a bad mood. Initially, this Peng Hong looked to be an honest and honest person, but after their interaction, he found out that this person was just a slut.

    Peng Hong withdrew his vulgar smile, then turned his gaze to the space in front of him. Xia Xuan then extended his hand towards that space, and the spatial energy that he had comprehended gushed out. It would naturally be impossible to tear space apart with just Xia Xuan''s power of space, but Peng Hong had his own methods.

    The spatial energy in Xia Xuan''s hands started to circulate, it looked as though it was chaotic and disorderly, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that following the spatial energy in Xia Xuan''s hands flowing, the surrounding spatial energy was actually showing signs of gathering towards him.

    This was the understanding and application of the power of space. This kind of technique was impossible in the Tian Lin Continent, perhaps only those outside of the six paths would be able to do it.

 C220

    Chapter 220 - Eyes (2)

    However, when Xia Xuan saw Peng Hong''s actions, the vigilance in his heart could not help but increase. The stronger Peng Hong was, the more worried Xia Xuan would be that in this world where the strong preyed on the weak. Xia Xuan did not want to die a horrible death.

    Looking at the enormous power of space, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile. Xia Xuan''s palm started to dance, and Xia Xuan, who was within the dancing trajectory dantian, couldn''t understand at all. Only following the movement of his palm, the power of space also started to circulate.

    The flow of the spatial energy was extremely intense. Within a few minutes, that space had been torn apart and a space tunnel had completed its task.

    After successfully ripping the space tunnel apart, Xia Xuan''s binocular suddenly became spiritless, and an instant later, it returned back to its original Xia Xuan appearance.

    Xia Xuan was still relatively satisfied with Peng Hong''s actions. At least, it seemed that Peng Hong did not have the intention to possess another body.

    Looking at the space tunnel, Xia Xuan then turned to look in the direction of Beiming Shang, only to see that Beiming Shang had long since finished his training and was staring at him blankly. Although he could not understand the method Xia Xuan used to rip open the space tunnel, but what was certain was that other than Xia Xuan, no one in the Tian Lin Continent could use this method.

    Originally, Beiming Shang only absorbed the power of the dust for a period of time, but when he saw Xia Xuan ripping apart the space tunnel, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.

    "Do you want to leave?" Xia Xuan looked at the dumbstruck Beiming Ce and asked with a smile.

    "What request? Speak." Darknorth naturally knew what Xia Xuan said that for. A pie wouldn''t fall from the sky, so he reckoned that Xia Xuan had conditions.

    "Take your men and leave, and tell the world that you''ve lost." Xia Xuan smiled and said. However, Xia Xuan''s words made Darknorth hesitate, for he was unable to defeat Xia Xuan and had to retreat. If he returned to the The Divine King''s Mansion, he would inevitably be punished and mocked.

    "Alright, I agree." Beiming Ce gritted his teeth and said. Now that the space tunnel was with Xia Xuan, if he wanted to, he could completely destroy it. Compared to dying, Darknorth was more willing to accept punishment.

    "I believe that with your personality, you won''t go back on your word." The smile on Xia Xuan''s face became incomparably brilliant, and then he said, "In the end, I want to invite you to join the God-Slaying Manor, with your strength, you will definitely have a place in the God-Slaying Manor."

    He never thought that Xia Xuan would actually invite him to the God-Slaying Manor. After being in contact with Xia Xuan for a short period of time, Beiming Shang had already started to change his view of the Deicide, and had even started to compare Xia Xuan with the Celestial King.

    "You can think about it. If you think about it, come find me. The door of my God-Slaying Manor is open for you at any time." Xia Xuan knew that Beiming Ce could not possibly agree right now, so he decided to loosen up.

    With that said, Xia Xuan immediately stepped into the space tunnel, and upon seeing that, Beiming Shang followed.

    As an elder of the The Divine King''s Mansion, Beiming Ming naturally knew about the affairs of the The Divine Realm. The current Celestial King was a little unpresentable, the entire The Divine Realm was filled with a thick miasma, but in contrast, Xia Xuan had the aura of a king. If Beiming''s gaze was long enough, he would definitely come to the The Divine King''s Mansion sooner or later.

 C221

    Chapter 221 - First Station (1)

    At this time, the Xing Bei Empire was in a predicament. The The Divine King''s Mansion had withdrawn their troops, but they were just standing not far from the Xing Bei Empire. Without any food or food, they were already restless.

    Nightfall was about to arrive, and a large army was approaching from the horizon. That aggressive appearance was enough to scare people.

    An uneasy atmosphere permeated the entire Northern Star Region. Everyone stood on the Wall s, and when they saw the approaching army, they couldn''t help but tighten the grip on their Weapons s, sweat trickling down their foreheads. Everyone was praying, praying for Xia Xuan to return.

    Just as the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army was about to arrive at the capital city, a space tunnel suddenly opened up in the sky. At this time, the night was not very dark, so people could immediately sense it with one glance.

    The location of the space tunnel was very special. It was precisely where Xia Xuan and Beiming Ce had disappeared from. If a space tunnel appeared in such a location, people would inevitably be on high alert.

    A figure slowly walked out from the space tunnel. The figure was in a sorry state, with his palm covering his chest, and his face was pale. It was Darknorth.

    When they saw Darknorth, the people of The Divine King''s Mansion immediately revealed joyous expressions. Although the current Darknorth looked like he was seriously injured, as long as he was alive, the The Divine King''s Mansion would win the battle.

    On the other hand, on the Xing Bei Empire''s side, there was only despair written on their faces. Since Darknorth had appeared, what would happen to Xia Xuan would become a foregone conclusion.

    Just at this moment, another figure walked out from the space tunnel. That figure was skinny yet extremely straight.

    Seeing that figure, everyone''s expression changed greatly. That figure was none other than Xia Xuan. At this time, Xia Xuan looked like nothing had happened, and was in stark contrast to the pale Beiming Shang.

    Right now, the situation was that Xia Xuan had defeated Darknorth, and that was a one-sided defeat.

    But now, the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side had become the weaker one. Without Darknorth, they would not be Xing Bei''s match at all.

    Just as Xia Xuan walked out of the space tunnel, Beiming Shang hurriedly covered his chest and escaped towards the great army of The Divine King''s Mansion with clear fear in his eyes. The people from the The Divine King''s Mansion also rushed forward and surrounded Darknorth, afraid that Xia Xuan would take advantage of the situation and give chase.

    Xia Xuan did not have the intention to chase after him, but a smile hung on his face. In the eyes of the people, this was just ridiculing the The Divine King''s Mansion, but Xia Xuan himself knew, that this was actually laughing at the excellence of Darknorth''s acting skills.

    Since he did not plan to give chase, Xia Xuan turned around and flew towards the capital city. There was already no longer any need for him to do anything, with Beiming Shang''s personality, he would not go back on his words.

    "Darknorth, what are you ˇ­?" .

    "Reporting to The Divine King''s Mansion, this Deicide is not simple." Beiming Shang spoke with much difficulty, and even spat out a mouthful of blood, looking very realistic.

    "But ˇ­" He was originally determined to get the The Divine King''s Mansion this time, but now that he failed and returned, he would inevitably be punished and mocked. This matter was a little hard to accept.

    "Hurry up and leave!" Beiming Shang suddenly roared, looking very anxious, as if they would really die here if they didn''t leave.

    "Tch, retreat." In the end, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and roared at the tens of thousands of The Divine King''s Mansion disciples.

    Although the disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion were confused, as the commander, they had no choice but to obey the order. The tens of thousands of disciples walked away like a flood in the sky.

    Although Beiming Shang was injured, that did not mean that the The Divine King''s Mansion could not fight anymore. What exactly did this leader Xia Xuan do?

 C222

    Chapter 222 - First Station (2)

    "Why did they retreat?" Wang Hao stood next to Xia Xuan, looking at the retreating army of The Divine King''s Mansion, he could not help but to ask.

    "They are not simply withdrawing, they are returning to the The Divine King''s Mansion." Xia Xuan laughed, then placed his hands behind his back, and walked into Imperial Palace.

    Everyone was puzzled. Why was the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army like this? What did Xia Xuan do?

    However, seeing that Xia Xuan did not have any intention to say it, Wang Hao and the others did not say anything, and the others did not ask either, in short, Xing Bei had won the battle!

    Tonight, the entire Xing Bei Empire was in a state of ecstasy as all the good wine and good meat were brought over. The scene of ten thousand people having an ecstasy in the Imperial Palace was rather spectacular, even the vigilant Xia Xuan had let go of his mind to drink and have fun, looking as though he was extremely happy.

    In the end, everyone was completely drunk. The scene of tens of thousands of people snoring loudly was quite spectacular.

    However, there was still one person who was not drunk in the entire Imperial Palace.

    Xia Xuan looked at the sky alone, he was truly happy when he was drinking, but that was because he would be facing training in the near future, so he was constantly on guard, causing his body and mind to be unable to relax.

    This was his first battle with the Celestial King, the battle was over, but the chaotic world had arrived as well. There were still many wars after this, and Xia Xuan thirsted for power, hoping to defeat the Celestial King, hoping to obtain the power to go there first.

    Not long after, the people of Xing Bei, who had been sent to other empires, returned. When they saw the scene in the capital, they were all shocked, wondering what kind of disaster was it to let all the citizens leave.

    The current Wanyan Empire was very different from the past. The current Wanyan Empire was a new ruler, and the one who ruled over the Wanyan Empire was the current Wyrm Flame Clan.

    Although Xia Xuan did not personally come to the Wanyan Empire, after the Hundred Hero Competition ended, Northern Spring and Tiger Roar joined hands to attack Wan Yan and requested for Wan Yan to change his royal family.

    Helpless, Wan Yan was able to change rulers.

    It was still within the city. The buildings of the Wyrm Flame Clan were erected and looked very grand, but the current Jayan City had already become the capital of the Wanyan Empire.

    Although the scenery in the courtyard was very beautiful, she was not in the mood to enjoy it. Her heart was completely focused on the distant Xing Bei Empire, she had recently received news that the The Divine King''s Mansion had sent troops to attack Northern Star Region. Originally, she was going to head there, but was stopped by Jiao Peng.

    "No, I have to go take a look." After thinking for a long time, Jiao Ling''er finally stood up. She decided to secretly go to Northern Star City. Even if it was from afar, it was better than waiting here.

    "Where are you going?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, scaring Jiao Ling''er, who was just about to leave, as he hurriedly sat back down.

    After calming down, only then did Jiao Ling''er realize that it wasn''t his father''s voice. It was the voice that she missed every moment.

    He hastily turned his head to look, only to see a The black-haired youth not far away looking at him with a smile. Teenage''s body was slightly thin, although he had experienced a lot of trials, but this skinny figure seemed to be able to carry the entire world in his eyes.

    Without any hesitation, she threw herself into Xia Xuan''s embrace. The stone that was hanging in Jiao Ling''er''s heart also fell, and it would be best if nothing happened to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan rubbed the woman in his embrace with both hands. He could feel that his chest was already a little wet, this girl still loved to cry.

    "Alright, didn''t I come back?" Xia Xuan said with a gentle voice. The rough hand gently stroked the smooth black hair of Jiao Ling''er.

    "Did the The Divine King''s Mansion retreat?" Jiao Ling''er rubbed his eyes and asked.

    "Retreat." Xia Xuan gently wiped away the tears left in the corner of Jiao Ling''er''s eyes and said gently.

    "You''re not taking care of Xing Bei, how are you free to come here?" Jiao Ling''er thought for a moment and asked. Although the The Divine King''s Mansion had withdrawn his troops, but Xing Bei had probably become a mess. Xia Xuan actually had the time to come here when it was time to take care of the mess.

    "I''m here to say my farewells, I want to go to The Divine King''s Mansion." Xia Xuan''s expression became more solemn. It could be said that he had already promised to marry Jiao Ling''er at the start, which meant that he had already been married for two years. However, he himself wasn''t by her side at all.

    She was just a little disappointed, she felt that she should not take Xia Xuan''s footsteps off the mark. She could not stop Xia Xuan if he wanted to leave, but she could not help but feel a little reluctant in her heart.

    "I''m sorry." Looking at the lost Jiao Ling''er, Xia Xuan also felt a bit of pain in his heart. However, he was a Deicide and he needed to seek power.

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan released Jiao Ling''er, turned around, and was about to leave when a jade hand quietly grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.

    Jiao Ling''er lowered his head. His expression couldn''t be seen, but he still wanted to know what she was like right now.

    Jiao Ling''er grabbed him for a while and finally released him. After that, Xia Xuan drove his spiritual energy and flew off.

    In the sky far away, Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and the others were waiting for Xia Xuan. When they saw Xia Xuan''s dejected expression, they all became silent and the group of seven stepped onto a path that led off into the distance, before finally disappearing into the distant horizon.

    The God-Slaying Manor was a legendary building that existed in the most eastern part of the Human Realm. It could be said that the eastern side of the Human Realm was the building of the Divine General''s Estate. Most Divine Generals would construct their own residence here.

    In the once Divine General''s Estate, besides the The Divine King''s Mansion, the God-Slaying Manor was the strongest manor. However, the current God-Slaying Manor was no longer as glorious as before, with a large number of disciples leaving. Currently, only a few loyal disciples and elders remained in the God-Slaying Manor.

    Although the Human Realm was the weakest realm among the Five Realms, its territory was still very vast. Just the distance between the Xing Bei Empire and the Xing Bei Empire was difficult to cross.

    That night, the night sky was beautiful, Xia Xuan and the others missed the city, so they had no choice but to sleep outside. Casually using some wood to build two simple wooden houses, the seven of them sat around a bonfire. After rushing for an entire day, everyone was hungry, and the wild boar leg that was currently roasting on top of the bonfire was today''s dinner for the seven of them.

    Looking at the unceasingly dripping oil on the ham, the seven of them were all envious. When people get hungry, everything really is delicious.

    "The night sky is so beautiful." Warm from the flames, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but exclaim as he looked at the sky full of stars and full moon.

    The other six people could not help but roll their eyes at Xia Xuan. They did not know which person recognized the wrong direction and they could only sleep outside in the wild.

    "Lu Chi." The six of them spoke out in unison before turning their gazes towards the roasted meat on the bonfire.

    Xia Xuan was very helpless.

    The roasted meat was very fragrant, but there weren''t enough roasted meat. As a Qi Cultivator, the amount of food he ate was far greater than that of an ordinary person''s. It was truly too little to split this piece of ham with seven people.

    Looking at the starry sky, Xia Xuan thought of Flame Frost. The battle between The Divine King''s Mansion and the Xing Bei Empire had already ended, but the situation there was much more dangerous than here, and there was no news of Flame Frost at all. This inevitably caused people to worry.

    Above that distant sky was the powerful The Divine Realm, there ˇ­ ˇ­

    "Sha sha" Right at this moment, Xia Xuan heard a sound coming from a patch of grass not far away. The sound was very soft, and if Xia Xuan was not always on alert, he would not have heard it. Upon sensing the situation, he discovered that there were three people hiding there. The three of them were all Mystical King level experts and seemed to be planning a sneak attack on him.

    There was never a lack of robbers in the Tian Lin Continent, so no matter where one went, they would be considered as numerous. There were countless of these type of robbers, who were on the level of Mystical King.

    Although the opponent''s cultivation was weak, Xia Xuan still did not underestimate him. No one could guarantee that the enemy''s strength would match the enemy''s cultivation, and Xia Xuan himself was an example, although he was currently a ninth stage Mystical King, ordinary Xuanzun experts would not be his opponent. Therefore, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could not let down his guard.

    Suddenly, a dart flew out from the grass patch. The dart had a cold glint and there was a faint spiritual energy attached to it, the target was Xia Xuan. If ordinary ninth stage Mystical King were to be struck by this dart, they would probably be severely injured.

    Of course, Xia Xuan was not an ordinary person, it would not matter even if he was struck by the dart, but Xia Xuan did not want it to happen.

    Looking at the dart in his hand, Xia Xuan noticed that there was a pattern on the dart that looked like a lion''s head, but it was stained with blood. Xia Xuan knew a lot about this pattern.

    On this trip to the God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan had to return first. However, without the Flaming Frost space tunnel, even the distance between Xing Bei and Hundred Desolations would be hard to cross, so Xia Xuan and the others had to go to an independent city called the Tiger Blood City first. There, there was an artificial space tunnel.

    The Tiger Blood City was controlled by a sect Sect Leader called Tiger Blood Sect, and this blood colored tiger head was the symbol of that Tiger Blood City.

    "Good timing." After instantly identifying the three people''s origins, the corner of Xia Xuan''s mouth couldn''t help but raise slightly. Tiger Blood Sect wasn''t some kind of charity sect, they were equivalent to a large bandit group.

    Thus, if one wanted to use the Tiger Bloodline Sect''s space to travel, they would have to pay a certain price. Furthermore, this price was very expensive, and it had already become common knowledge. Xia Xuan was initially troubled over how to borrow the space tunnel, but now that these three people had come, he had the ability to exchange with them.

    Standing up, Xia Xuan''s gaze looked towards the grass patch, just in time to see the three men slowly standing up. Among the three of them, two of them were seventh stage Mystical King and one of them was eighth stage Mystical King. With such strength, he had confidence in dealing with a ninth stage Mystical King, but it was inevitable that it would be a bitter battle.

    The leader of the three was brawny man, who was covered in scars. brawny man had an extremely eye-catching scar that extended from his right temple to his left chin, making him look very sinister.

    "Tiger Blood Sect, your power is truly vast." Xia Xuan threw the flying dart to the side and smiled, he was not afraid of the enemy''s numbers.

    "Brat, you can still laugh when you meet us. Are you scared?" The three of them were still cautious of Xia Xuan, although they spoke out such arrogant words, the three of them already held bright large knife s in their hands, the spiritual energy on their blades circulating, even though they did not wave them, they still released wind sounds.

    "Sigh, I still have to thank you all for sending me some chips." Xia Xuan let out a light sigh, and immediately after, the silver snake began to circulate around his body. Before the three of them could do anything, he had already disappeared.

    When the knife-scarred man saw that Xia Xuan had disappeared, he was immediately shocked. He could not help but admit that his entire body was covered with scars, and the moment a sense of danger emerged from his heart, he immediately turned and stabbed behind him.

    The man''s blade was very sudden, Xia Xuan just happened to appear behind the man after he disappeared, he originally planned to directly knock the three of them unconscious, but in the end, Xia Xuan''s sneak attack still failed.

    If the man''s strength was not at the eighth stage of Mystical King but rather a Mysterious Sect Ranker, Xia Xuan might not be able to defeat him easily. But right now the man is still a Mystical King, geniuses that have yet to grow up will easily fall.

    Xia Xuan''s figure retreated explosively, at the same time, a spiritual energy in his hand turned into a thin needle, with a flick of his finger, the thin needle pierced into one of the meridian s on the man''s arm, and the man immediately lost consciousness.

    Xia Xuan''s movements did not pause at all, in the instant he shot out the flying needle, he disappeared again, and reappeared in front of the scarred man.

    The other two had barely reacted when they saw a huge fist come smashing towards them. The two of them enjoyed a punch and fell to the ground.

    At this moment, the scarred man''s arm was still numb. When he saw his two companions fall down, fear immediately arose in his heart. It seemed that he had kicked an iron plate today, and this iron plate even had a thorn in it.

    The knife-scarred man immediately turned around. If he wanted to live, he could only run.

    Of course, there was no way for the man to escape. The moment he turned around, a knife instantly struck the back of his head, knocking him out.

    Chapter 224 - Transactions

    After sealing the three unconscious meridian s, Xia Xuan made a fancy binding gesture and carried them back to the hut.

    Returning to the wooden house, Xia Xuan discovered that both of the wooden houses had turned into ruins and many trees had fallen. It was obvious that they had experienced a big battle. Fortunately, Wang Hao and the other three were safe and sound, only a corpse was lying on the ground. No one knew who the corpse was, but Xia Xuan could immediately see the tiger head tattoo on the corpse''s neck.

    "No wonder you guys dared to sneak attack me. It turns out you have an expert following you." Xia Xuan looked at the three unconscious people and could not help but laugh.

    Although the corpse was already dead, from the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around it, one could tell that the corpse should have been an expert of the profound strength rank when it was alive.

    Although Xia Xuan''s cultivation was only at the ninth stage of Mystical King, Wang Hao''s group of five were all Xuanzun experts. Under normal circumstances, these three little Mystical King s would not have any designs on Xia Xuan, but it was not strange for them to have a second stage Mysterious Sect expert following them.

    Of course, dealing with six Xuanzun with a second stage Mysterious Sect was an easy task, but what they didn''t expect was that these six Mysterious Sect would completely destroy this second stage Mysterious Sect.

    Seeing Xia Xuan coming back, Wang Hao''s group of six immediately surrounded him. When they saw Xia Xuan carrying the three of them, they understood what he had done.

    "Where did all these people come from? They caused our wooden house to be destroyed." Wang Hao complained, although it was easy for the six of them to handle the six of them with their level 2 Mysterious Sect, the battles between the Mysterious Sect were still rather intense, and the two simple and crude wooden houses were destroyed in the midst of battle.

    "Forget it, you can just use the spiritual energy to cover your face, these people are actually here to send us some chips, you have to wait on them." Xia Xuan said with a mysterious smile. Although they had already investigated, they did not know much about him. As a result, when they heard Xia Xuan''s words, all six of them became suspicious.

    The Tiger Blood City was the only city within the circumference of a thousand miles. The entire city had all sorts of bandit forces, and when all of these powers were gathered together, they would become the famous Tiger Blood Sect. The Tiger Blood Sect was not a bandit, but a bandit for over a thousand of them.

    Although it was a bandit village, there were green mountains outside the Tiger Blood City. In terms of scenery, the Tiger Blood City was a tourist attraction. Of course, what appeared beautiful on the surface was actually very dangerous.

    Xia Xuan''s group of seven carried the three Tiger Blood Sect''s men to the peak of the mountain closest to Tiger Blood City. From here, they could survey the entire Tiger Blood City, and they could see that the mountain stronghold''s territory was rather regular, it seemed to be an array, so this array was probably used to protect the Tiger Blood City.

    Although this formation looked extremely mysterious, the seven of them could vaguely see the effects of this formation. This formation was most likely related to the power of space.

    "I never thought that such a place would have such a rare array." Seeing the formation, Xia Xuan''s binocular all started to shine. This kind of formation was extremely rare, and it was even difficult for The Divine Realm to find a formation related to the power of space.

    Xia Xuan was not afraid of this now, because he still had three chips in his hand, he believed that he could enter anyway. As long as he could enter, the array formation would be easy to obtain.

    As usual, the Tiger Blood City was bustling with noise and excitement, robbing and sending items over to the Tiger Blood City at all times. The amount of wealth here was enviable, and countless people would cry and die because of the looting.

    Because the distance between them was still rather far, they could not clearly see who had arrived. As a result, people on the Wall s of the Tiger Blood City had already begun to pay close attention to those figures.

    Although the distance was very far, those people very quickly approached the Tiger Blood City. Only then did the people on the Wall see them clearly, one was a total of ten people, which was Xia Xuan and the others.

    If it was a normal situation, people would definitely think that Xia Xuan and the others were lambs who had lost their way, and would immediately take action. But now, no one made a move, because there were three people who were tied up in Xia Xuan''s hands, whom everyone recognized, so everyone could tell at a glance that Xia Xuan and the rest were here to cause trouble.

    Towards this kind of enemy, although the people from the Tiger Blood Sect came from the various mountain stronghold s, they were all abnormally united when facing outsiders.

    Xia Xuan and the others looked at each other, and then the seven of them released their spiritual energy. Other than Xia Xuan, the auras of the six Xuanzun experts shocked everyone present.

    "Where is the Tiger Blood Sect''s Sect Leader?" Both of Xia Xuan''s hands were behind his back, and his voice spread around the entire city while being wrapped by the spiritual energy, causing everyone to fly into the sky in shock. Immediately, a black mass of people surrounded by the Tiger Blood City.

    With regards to this situation, Xia Xuan did not panic at all. His goal was to call everyone in the city out.

    "Who''s being arrogant?" A dignified voice rang out and the black sky immediately opened up a path. A eight feet tall man holding a blood-red tiger head blade aggressively stepped into the air. The surrounding people couldn''t help but look to the side and no one dared to look directly at him.

    Seeing the man, Xia Xuan immediately flew into the air and stood about a hundred meters away from him. He cupped his hands and said to the man: "I presume this is Tiger Blood Sect Sect Master Yang."

    In the entire Tiger Blood Sect, Xia Xuan only knew one person, and that was Tiger Blood Sect''s Sect Leader, Yang Qiang. This person''s strength was a seventh grade Mysterious Sect, and Xia Xuan thought that only this person was worthy of attention in the entire Tiger Blood Sect, because this person was said to be able to use the power of space.

    "Don''t be polite with me. Do you know the consequences of capturing my men?" Yang Qiang was not the least bit courteous, the tiger-headed large knife pointed at Xia Xuan and said fiercely.

    "You can''t blame me for this. It was your men who ambushed us." Xia Xuan shrugged, showing a helpless look.

    "What are you guys doing?" Yang Qiang knew that Xia Xuan and the others had a reason for leaving behind their lives. Of course, just by thinking about it, he knew that the only thing that could attract outsiders in the entire Tiger Blood City was that space tunnel.

    "To be honest, we want to borrow your sect''s space-time tunnel." Xia Xuan did not beat around the bush, and directly said, "These three people will be used as bargaining chips."

    Xia Xuan was not afraid that Yang Qiang would not agree, because there were still so many people watching, and he had three Tiger Blood Sect s with him, if he did not agree, then the others would just turn cold, which would not be good for Yang Qiang''s position.

    Yang Qiang tilted his head, and looked at the scarred man and the two others who were tied up, and then asked: "What about him?"

    "One more person is already dead. He chose an opponent that he shouldn''t have chosen." Xia Xuan said as he waved his hands. But after he finished speaking, Xia Xuan realized that something was amiss. If he was a normal disciple of the Tiger Blood Sect, Yang Qiang would probably not be able to remember anything, but now, Yang Qiang had taken the initiative to ask. Was this proof that the person''s position in the Tiger Blood Sect was not low?

    His gaze slowly turned towards Yang Qiang''s face. Sure enough, he saw that Yang Qiang''s face was already black, and there was a vague feeling that a spiritual energy was about to erupt.

    Chapter 225 - Comprehension

    "Are you all prepared to die?" Yang Qiang clenched his teeth tightly, and from the sounds that came out, one could feel an obvious killing intent.

    "You don''t care about these three?" Xia Xuan tilted his body, revealing the scarred man and the two others on the ground, making it difficult for Xia Xuan to believe that Yang Qiang would not care about their lives and start a war with him.

    "Give me your life." But unexpectedly, Yang Qiang actually ignored the lives of the three, with a roar, he raised the tiger head large knife and explosively rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Yang Qiang''s actions gave Xia Xuan a fright, and in a flash, the flamethrower appeared in his hands. The pike blocked the attack, and in that split second, the tiger-headed large knife came slashing over. The tiger-headed large knife that was glowing with a blood-red light hacked at Xia Xuan''s spear fiercely.

    "Bang!" Xia Xuan directly smashed onto the ground, and immediately created a huge pit.

    Stabilizing his position, Xia Xuan looked up into the sky. carried his large knife and chased closely behind, displaying the powerful aura of a seventh-grade Mysterious Sect. Seeing that, the Tiger Blood Sect floating in the air could not help but sigh to themselves, in their eyes, a mere Mystical King like Xia Xuan would only be defeated instantly by Yang Qiang.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan let out a cold snort. The spiritual energy condensed on top of the flamethrower and at the same time, a gust of spatial energy attached onto the flamethrower.

    "Ding!" When the spear and blade clashed, a ding sound rang out. There wasn''t much of a fluctuation in the spiritual energy, but there were violent changes at the point of contact between the two Weapons. Others might not be able to tell, but Xia Xuan and Yang Qiang knew that there were two spatial powers engulfing each other at the point of contact between the two Weapons.

    Yang Qiang never thought that Xia Xuan could actually also use the power of space, and so skillfully as well. It had to be known that Yang Qiang could rely on the power of space to challenge opponents beyond his level, and the power of space was his greatest trump card.

    Xia Xuan raised his pike and directly sent Yang Qiang flying. Just as Xia Xuan was about to counterattack, Yang Qiang suddenly retreated, and instantly opened up a distance of over a hundred meters between him and Xia Xuan.

    "What are you all standing there for? "All of you, go." Putting distance between them, Yang Qiang immediately used his spiritual energy to wrap his voice, it was obvious that he did not want to fight alone anymore. With so many people in the Tiger Blood City, Yang Qiang and his party of seven did not believe that Xia Xuan had the ability to defeat the entire city.

    Xia Xuan truly did not have the ability to handle so many people. As the saying goes, two fists cannot even fight four hands, what''s more, there were over ten thousand of them.

    Just as the countless human figures charged towards Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan actually directly turned around and shouted at Wang Hao and the others, "Run!"

    This was really the most embarrassing of Xia Xuan and the rest, with seven people being chased by the entire city. If not for them being fast enough to escape, they would have been caught up to and killed by the random blades.

    Xia Xuan and his party of ten were holed up in a cave within a relatively hidden mountain. One could even vaguely see a person or two floating in the sky above them.

    "Damn, these people don''t play their cards the way they do." Standing in the middle of the cave, Wang Hao finally couldn''t hold back the grievance in his heart and immediately cursed out.

    "Heh, do you know who you killed last night?" At this moment, the knife-scarred man mocked.

    "I don''t care who he is, I''ll kill you today." Wang Hao who was fuming just now grabbed onto the knife-scarred man''s collar, his other hand clenched into a fist, the flaming spiritual energy had already condensed on top of his fist.

    Suddenly, a hand grabbed Wang Hao''s fist, only to see Xia Xuan''s face looking at the knife-scarred man, his cold voice saying: "Tell me about it."

    Seeing that, the knife-scarred man shook Wang Hao''s hand open, he rolled his eyes and said: "The person you guys killed is called Yang Xiao, he is Yang Qiang''s nephew, do you think he will go against the rules?"

    Xia Xuan suddenly realised, it seemed that he had investigated too little.

    Three days later, another mountain peak more distant from Tiger Blood City. Xia Xuan and the others were hidden in the bushes, watching the Tiger Blood City in the distance.

    The current Tiger Blood City was very different from the past. There were people constantly patrolling the Tiger Blood City''s Wall. The entire Tiger Blood City was enveloped by an invisible energy. At that time, the power of space, was originally the Tiger Blood City''s defensive array.

    Looking at the invisible shield, Xia Xuan could not help but frown. This spatial shield that was created by acupuncture was not something that could be torn apart by normal means.

    "What should we do?" Wang Hai looked at the spatial shield and asked directly. No one present was extremely skilled in spatial energy. If they couldn''t break through this barrier, then they wouldn''t be able to use space tunnel s. However, they didn''t know how long it would take them to reach desolation.

    "Peng Hong, can you help?" Xia Xuan asked in his heart. If he wanted to break through the space tunnel, he could only rely on Peng Hong.

    Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong had his hands folded across his chest, his face no longer showing any sign of simplicity, and said without a trace of politeness: "I''m not going to help, if you have any difficulties you need my help, how are you going to train yourself?"

    Xia Xuan was really helpless. Normally, Xia Xuan would first familiarize himself with the power of space before breaking through the spatial shield, but he did not have that much time left. He was in a rush to go to the God-Slaying Manor, because there was going to be a grand event going to be held between the various palaces.

    "It''s not impossible for me to help, but I won''t directly break through the spatial shield. I will give you a chance, whether or not you can grasp the opportunity will all be up to you." Peng Hong said again, as if he had guessed what Xia Xuan was thinking.

    "What chance?" Xia Xuan was ecstatic and immediately asked.

    "I will help you comprehend the power of space and help you quickly comprehend it. This is a rare opportunity." Peng Hong said with a smile.

    Xia Xuan had seen Peng Hong''s usage of the power of space before, and it could be said that in the entire Tian Lin Continent, no one was better at using the power of space than Peng Hong. With such a strong warrior to guide him, this was a rare opportunity.

    "I need a quiet environment." Peng Hong said again.

    Xia Xuan immediately understood, and said to the others: "Let''s go back first, I have a plan."

    Returning to the cave, Xia Xuan directly went into the depths of the cave while the others waited at the entrance.

    Xia Xuan sat cross legged on a rock, both of his hands on his knees, but he did not enter a state of cultivation, instead sinking his consciousness into the dantian.

    Within the dantian, Peng Hong was seated cross legged, and his entire body was floating, but Xia Xuan did not sense any of the spiritual energy''s fluctuations. Instead, he felt a surge of spatial energy supporting him.

    The current Peng Hong did not look simple and honest at all, but instead, he looked extremely imposing. Just looking at him made Xia Xuan shiver.

 C226

    Chapter 226 - Space

    "Come over here and miss me just like that." Peng Hong waved to Xia Xuan, gesturing for him to come over.

    Xia Xuan looked carefully. He only understood a little bit about Peng Hong using the spiritual energy to help him up, so he could only imitate how Xia Xuan used his spatial energy.

    No matter how hard Xia Xuan tried, he couldn''t use the power of space to help himself up. The degree of difficulty he faced was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person. It had to be known that Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, a mere usage of energy was already enough to make him stumped. One could imagine just how mysterious the power of space was.

    With regards to Xia Xuan who fell to the ground again and again, Peng Hong did not care in the slightest.

    After about an hour, the sound of someone falling down could no longer be heard. When Peng Hong opened his eyes, he realized that Xia Xuan was floating in the air.

    Although the people of the Tian Lin Continent didn''t really know how to control the power of space, that didn''t mean that Peng Hong didn''t understand the power of space. The fact that he could use the power of space to support himself up in just an hour was already enough to describe as a genius, and one of the reasons was because Xia Xuan was the reincarnation of the Deicide, but he was still unable to hide Xia Xuan''s talent.

    "Pull up your ears and open your eyes. I will only say this once." Peng Hong hid his surprise, and then spoke seriously.

    Xia Xuan immediately became alert, his body could not help but straighten straight, and he looked at Peng Hong with all of his focus.

    "Space also starts from one point. Didn''t you encounter a speck of dust at the Six Paths of the Void? That is the point of space. The myriad worlds you live in all evolved from that point." As Peng Hong spoke, a speck of dust appeared in front of Xia Xuan. That speck of dust was not like the speck of dust Xia Xuan had encountered at the Six Paths of Clouds.

    Dust that was emitting a faint light was floating in the air. Even if it was only dust, Xia Xuan still felt a huge amount of spatial energy, and was unable to imagine where Peng Hong came from.

    "The point movement became a line. You don''t know how many points there are on this line, but this line is already a space. It''s just a dead space and there''s no living being here." As he spoke, the speck of dust slowly turned into a ray of light.

    Looking at the process of the dust turning into light, Xia Xuan felt that his comprehension of space had increased by a lot.

    "For the same reason, the movement of lines will become a plane. This plane is also a plane of death. No one in your world knows about the face of death and the face of living, but on our side, it''s something that has already been included in the textbooks." As he spoke, the ray of light began to move again. The ray of light had turned into a flat surface.

    Xia Xuan was even more shocked by what Peng Hong was saying. In this world, there was still nothing that no one could control, but in the other world, everyone knew just how huge of a gap there was between these two worlds.

    "Then do you know how the surface is turned into space?" Peng Hong did not speak further, and asked Xia Xuan instead.

    "Is it the same thing?" Xia Xuan asked in a probing tone. Could this be space? Such a simple principle? A mere point and line and surface?

    "That''s right, seemingly simple principles are often the most profound in the world." Peng Hong nodded his head and then waved his hand. That plane started to move and formed a small independent space, but that space did not stop moving.

    The space enlarged very quickly, surrounding Xia Xuan and Peng Hong in it. As the space enlarged, Xia Xuan also saw a miraculous scene in the space, what appeared in front of him was a myriad of objects.

    Xia Xuan saw the growth of plants and the evolution of animals, and he was stunned seeing Xia Xuan himself.

    "In fact, the space we are in is just a dot. We call it a dead end, but we live in it. Isn''t it amazing that this concept is actually the opposite?" Peng Hong stood up, his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, he did not look like Peng Hong at all, but more like a wise man who knew everything.

    Of course, Xia Xuan did not notice Peng Hong''s change, he was already completely immersed in the logic of everything, and even when Peng Hong left, he did not know.

    Amongst Xia Xuan''s dantian, Peng Hong was standing straight. In front of him was a small square block that was emitting light, in that square block, Xia Xuan was comprehending the power of space.

    There was a hint of solemness on Peng Hong''s face and although it was true that the knowledge of the Face of Death and the Face of Life had been recorded in the instruction manual from his world, there was only one person who had truly comprehended the power of space.

    "Do you really think this person has the ability to inherit your mantle?" Looking at the square, Peng Hong muttered.

    Xia Xuan had already stayed in the depths of the cave for three days, but he still had not moved an inch. Logically speaking, they should already be extremely anxious, but the six of them were extremely quiet, with not a single one showing any signs of worry.

    "Aren''t you afraid that something might happen after all this time?" At this time, the scarred man and the other two who had been tied up could no longer hold their calm and shouted at the six people.

    The six of them did not respond to the Knifescar fellow''s words. They were like statues, whether they were sitting or sitting, whether they were standing or standing, it was as if they did not hear the Knifescar fellow''s voice.

    "This is a form of trust. Your Sect Master will ignore your safety because of his anger, but the seven of us can already pass our backs to him. How could the Mountain gangster understand?" Right at this moment, a gentle voice sounded out. When everyone''s gaze turned over, they saw Xia Xuan slowly walking over, with a happy smile on his face.

    The current Xia Xuan looked very different from three days ago, he gave off a strange feeling, as though the moment he flipped his hand, the heaven and earth would be overturned.

    "How is it?" The six of them came over and surrounded Xia Xuan and asked.

    "Don''t worry, then spatial shield will see how I''ll break it." Xia Xuan smiled confidently and gently clenched his hand. Following that, a spatial energy tore apart the space between his palm and many tiny spatial cracks were ripped apart.

    Seeing that, the scarred man and the other two could not help but swallow their saliva, with a flip of their hands, they tore open space, just who the hell was this Xia Xuan?

 C227

    Chapter 227 - Coming of a Crisis

    The Tiger Blood City''s defenses were still as tight as ever, and the spatial shield that had enveloped the entire Tiger Blood City was still there.

    Late at night, just as the people on night watch were napping, many black figures stuck to the ground. In a flash, they arrived in front of the spatial shield. The ones who came were none other than Xia Xuan''s group of seven.

    No one noticed the arrival of the seven people. The seven people who didn''t make a sound were like ghosts in the dark night, coming soundlessly.

    Squatting in front of the spatial shield, Xia Xuan stared at it for a long time. After a long while, the brow frowned, and only heard it say: "It''s a little troublesome, this protective shield is one entity, if it''s damaged it will be discovered."

    "You can''t use your jumping array?" Wu Zhi asked. He knew that Xia Xuan had a formation that could jump into space for a short distance and that was created by the Deicide. Although it was useless in battle, it would be of great use in that situation.

    "This won''t do, there''s a limit to the space here. I have to use another method, but it will take a bit of time, so you all should look down." Xia Xuan replied.

    When the six of them heard this, they nodded their heads. Then, the six of them quickly hid themselves in the surrounding six places, preparing to guard against anyone coming at any time.

    With the six of them watching the wind, Xia Xuan focused on the spatial shield. Xia Xuan raised both of his hands, and the power of space gushed out, the power of space stopped a few inches away from the barrier, the power of space slowly revolved and formed a circular plane, the plane wasn''t too big, barely enough to match a person''s power.

    When the plane was formed, a large amount of spatial energy gushed out. The spatial energy directly attached itself to the spatial shield, and the spatial energy continuously squirmed, as if it was an insect drilling into the ground.

    In order to not destroy the spatial shield, Xia Xuan could only do this bit by bit. Although it would take a bit of time, the effect would still exist.

    Just as Xia Xuan was trying his best to pass through the spatial shield, in the cave where Xia Xuan and the rest were hiding, the knife-scarred man and the other two were struggling. The struggles of the three were not without results. As they worked hard, the ropes that bound them began to loosen.

    In the end, the three of them truly broke free from their restraints. After untying the ropes, the three of them sat down cross-legged. After approximately an hour, the Knifescar fellow was the first to open his veins.

    The knife-scarred man did not wait for the other two. Just as he finished clearing the meridian, he activated his spiritual energy and transformed into a ray of light that flew into the sky.

    Time flew, and an hour had passed by unwittingly. Xia Xuan had also finished his work, there were two circular planes in front of him, each on the outside and on the inside of the spatial shield. Thankfully, no one passed the time, so the two planes went well.

    After completing the two planes, the rest of the things happened relatively quickly. With a wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, the two planes started to move restlessly, and not long after, the two planes disappeared, leaving behind two space tunnel s.

    After finishing all of this, Xia Xuan immediately looked around, and then went into the space tunnel, following which six other figures went into the space tunnel.

    In a flash, seven figures drilled out from another space tunnel and the two space tunnel closed up. Seven human figures tightly clung onto the Wall, like demons, they flipped over the Wall in a flash, and sneaked into the Tiger Blood City without the slightest movement.

    From the top of Tiger Blood City, they could see that a group of seven cleverly avoided the patrolling people, and did not deliberately look for them, because their goal was very clear. space tunnel could be said to be the pride of Tiger Blood City, a proof of strength, and the entire Tiger Blood City was centered on space tunnel.

    The seven of them were extremely fast, and it was easy for them to dodge the patrols with their Xuanzun. Even though the Tiger Blood City was huge and there were many other mountain stronghold s around, the seven of them only took less than two hours to quietly arrive at the center of the Tiger Blood City.

    The plaza was huge, and in the entire Tiger Blood City, it was like a sacred place, completely paved with a precious stone called Obsidian, surrounded by dozens of huge pillars, all wrapped in golden paper, showing the importance that the space tunnel attached to the Tiger Blood City.

    In the center of the plaza was a space tunnel, and this space tunnel was different from the space tunnel that Xia Xuan had opened. This space tunnel had an astonishingly dense spatial energy, and only this kind of space tunnel could undergo long-distance spatial jumps. If Xia Xuan wanted to open it, he could only jump a very short distance.

    "Sovereign, the bandits have slipped in." A loud shout suddenly rang out. At this time, Xia Xuan wanted to step foot on the plaza, but he was completely stunned by the roar. The voice was wrapped in spiritual energy, and it spread throughout the entire city, and Xia Xuan was very familiar with the voice, it was the scarred man''s voice.

    In the Tiger Blood City''s largest mountain stronghold''s Tiger Blood Stronghold, Yang Qiang was sitting cross-legged with the surrounding spiritual energy s pouring into his body in an unending stream. When the knife-scarred man''s voice came out, Yang Qiang suddenly opened his eyes. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, the spiritual energy shot into the sky, while Yang Qiang directly broke through the roof and flew up into the sky.

    "Damn it." Xia Xuan really regretted leaving the knife-scarred man''s life. Originally, Xia Xuan only left the knife-scarred man''s life under his banner because he loved him, but in the end, this knife-scarred man had come to ruin his life at such a crucial time.

    Gritting his teeth, the silver snake on Xia Xuan''s body went back and forth, completely unleashing his speed. The group of seven all rushed towards the space tunnel, as long as they could enter the space tunnel, he wouldn''t need to worry about other things.

    With Xia Xuan''s speed, he was naturally able to enter the space tunnel, but just as he was about to enter the space tunnel, his body suddenly froze, causing Wang Hao and the rest to have no choice but to stop.

    Xia Xuan was stunned for just a moment, but after a moment, fury surged up on his face. Just as Peng Hong had forcefully controlled his body, in that instant, a surge of spatial energy descended from the sky, directly enveloping the space tunnel.

    "You''re quite capable." Just then, a laugh came out, only to see Yang Qiang slowly walking over, his eyes filled with killing intent staring straight at Xia Xuan and the rest.

    One Yang Qiang was not scary at all, what really threatened Xia Xuan were the people that came one after another from the surroundings. If the tens of thousands of disciples of the Tiger Blood Sect s worked together, even if Xia Xuan and the others had extraordinary strength, they would still suffer heavy losses.

    "Brat, let me control your body. I can save you." Just as Xia Xuan made up his mind to fight to the death, Peng Hong''s voice rang out.

    "You better not do anything. If anything happens to anyone, I will hand you over to The Divine Realm." Xia Xuan snorted angrily in his heart.

    Chapter 228 - Border

    Right now, he could only rely on Peng Hong to escape. As for what this fellow actually wanted to do, that was none of his business. In any case, since Peng Hong had approached mysteriously, he could understand whatever he wanted to do after looking at him for a bit.

    Xia Xuan suddenly froze, then his Qi changed, this Qi, Wang Hao and the others had never sensed such a thing before, it was as though Xia Xuan was a different person.

    "Come with me." Xia Xuan, who was possessed by Peng Hong, said to Wang Hao and the others before taking the lead to fly towards a certain direction in the sky.

    Although Wang Hao and the other three did not know what was wrong with Xia Xuan, they naturally had to listen to him at a time like this. Unity was the most important thing.

    Yang Qiang naturally would not allow the seven of them to escape just like that. Carrying the tiger-headed large knife, he immediately led the group of disciples to chase after Xia Xuan and the others.

    Just then, Xia Xuan suddenly turned and threw out a small ball, which directly flew towards Yang Qiang. When Yang Qiang used his large knife to hack at the ball, the ball actually exploded. Following that, a surge of spatial energy surged out, scaring Yang Qiang to the point that he hurriedly retreated.

    The power of space did not dissipate for a long time. Some of the Tiger Blood Sect disciples did not have the time to stop and directly collided with the power of space, causing their entire bodies to turn into a pool of blood and scaring the rest of them into retreating, afraid that they would be struck by the power of space.

    Unable to give chase, Yang Qiang clenched his teeth in anger, and then fiercely looked towards the direction Xia Xuan and the rest were running in.

    Although he was angry in his heart, Yang Qiang was still very rational. When he realized the direction Xia Xuan and the rest were heading in, he was completely shocked. Xia Xuan and the rest were running in the direction of the Tiger Blood Stronghold.

    Realizing that Xia Xuan and the others were running towards the Tiger Blood Stronghold, Yang Qiang immediately lost his patience. Half of the spiritual energy in his seventh stage of Mysterious Sect burst out, and at the same time, mixed with a bit of spatial energy, a three-hundred-meter long large knife condensed onto the tiger-headed large knife.

    The large knife stood between heaven and earth, and under everyone''s astonished gazes, it slashed at the spatial energy that filled the sky. When the two energies clashed, many spiritual energy ripples immediately exploded.

    Before the spiritual energy even dispersed into ripples, a figure forcibly passed through, bringing along a shocking spiritual energy as he chased after Xia Xuan and the others. But now, Xia Xuan and the rest were already far away, no matter how fast he was, he would not be able to catch up in a short period of time.

    In the sky above Tiger Blood City, a bloody light streaked across the horizon, its target being the Tiger Blood Stronghold.

    Very quickly, Yang Qiang landed inside a mountain stronghold. mountain stronghold was extremely big, comparable to the size of a small town. In front of Yang Qiang was a big house, which was located at the very center of mountain stronghold. This was the residence of the Tiger Blood Stronghold''s chief, which was also Yang Qiang''s residence.

    After landing, Yang Qiang anxiously looked at the house''s door, and when he saw that the door was opened wide, he was so shocked that his face turned white, Xia Xuan and the rest came here.

    With a leap, Yang Qiang immediately jumped into the house. He then looked at the big bed in the room and saw Xia Xuan and the rest of them standing on the bed. On the bed, there was a light array that was emitting a bright light.

    "Hey." Seeing Yang Qiang rushing over, Xia Xuan actually greeted him, with a brilliant smile on his face.

    Yang Qiang was shocked, and immediately rushed towards Xia Xuan and the others, but he was still half a beat too slow, causing Xia Xuan and the rest to disappear within the binocular, and then the array formation on the bed also concealed the light.

    Yang Qiang quickly stood up on the bed and started waving his hands as if he was used to it. But this time, no matter how he formed seals, the array formation on the bed would not light up again.

    This was a place Xia Xuan had never come to before, it was a stretch of void, but it was different from the six borders. The place was filled with intense light, and beneath Xia Xuan and the rest''s feet was a gigantic formation.

    "Welcome to the World''s Heart. This place is the center of our world, and what is beneath our feet is a World Spirit Formation. It can be said that if this formation is broken, our world will collapse." Xia Xuan''s words scared the six of them so much that they didn''t dare to move. If they accidentally broke the array, they would become the sinner of this world.

    "Haha, don''t worry. Even if you self-destruct, you won''t be able to harm this formation in the slightest." Seeing the six people who did not even dare to walk on the road, Xia Xuan could not help but hold his stomach and laugh loudly.

    "Just who are you?" At this time, the usually silent Shangguan Zelong suddenly spoke. The current Xia Xuan was completely different from the past, it was as if he had become a completely different person.

    "Sigh ~" Xia Xuan sighed helplessly, then he was suddenly stunned, causing the binocular to lose its consciousness. A figure slowly condensed by his side, that person was none other than Peng Hong.

    Without Peng Hong occupying his body, Xia Xuan quickly recovered. After recovering, Xia Xuan crossed his arms over his chest as he glared at Peng Hong.

    "Do you know how Yang Qiang was able to grasp the power of space?" Peng Hong did not directly answer, but asked.

    "Are you trying to say it''s because of this formation?" Xia Xuan immediately knew the meaning behind Peng Hong''s question, and immediately replied.

    "That''s right, how could a boorish guy like Yang Qiang be able to grasp the power of space? It''s just that he accidentally discovered the World Heart, and it''s nothing compared to sitting here and comprehending the power of space." Peng Hong nodded his head, but his words were filled with disdain towards Yang Qiang.

    "This ˇ­" Hearing this, Xia Xuan was surprised. After obtaining the Lord of the Five Realms''s inheritance, he had only comprehended a little of the spatial energy, but Yang Qiang had obtained it just by sitting here? What kind of luck was this?

    "Yang Qiang won''t chase us right?" worriedly asked, a mere Yang Qiang was not scary, but if the entire Tiger Blood City chased after them, it would be troublesome.

    "Don''t worry, I have set up a barrier, so he, Yang Qiang, cannot come in." Yang Qiang patted his chest and said.

    "What did you bring us here for?" asked. Xia Xuan knew that Peng Hong intentionally brought them here, probably for his own reasons.

    "I won''t say too much. Take a look at this map and comprehend it yourself." Peng Hong waved his hand, and a light picture appeared in front of everyone.

    The light picture was of a large tree. This tree looked very strange. It had many branches, covering the entire light picture like a vine. However, from a holistic perspective, it was indeed a tree. There were six fruits on the tree. The six fruits had different positions, but it seemed like these six fruits were the tree''s main source of strength.

    Looking at this map, Xia Xuan was startled. In the cave, Xia Xuan also gained some basic understanding of the world, this map could be said to be the structure of this world, and the six fruits were not ordinary fruits, but the six fruits were the pillars of this world. It was clear that Peng Hong wanted to let them see these six fruits.

 C229

    Chapter 229 - The Death of the The Divine Realm

    Faintly, Xia Xuan had already guessed what Peng Hong wanted to do, but even he was afraid of what Peng Hong wanted to do.

    "Could it be that you want to?" Xia Xuan asked tentatively. He did not say it explicitly, because it was better not to say it out loud. After all, this matter was too serious.

    "I want you to be the backbone of this world. Your numbers are just right." Peng Hong nodded his head and said noncommittally, startling Xia Xuan.

    The six pillars could be said to be the most important thing in this world. If the six pillars were lost, the world would collapse. However, pillars could also obtain the power of this world.

    However, Xia Xuan didn''t want to do it like that. First, he had to figure out how difficult it was to become the world''s pillar, and if all six of them fell in the future, this world would probably collapse.

    "Don''t worry, I have my own plans." Peng Hong guessed what Xia Xuan was worried about, and said confidently while patting his shoulder.

    The entire city had gathered there. When people flew in the air and held onto Weapons, the sky was completely blocked, and even under the bright and sunny weather, there was not a single thread of sunlight that could shine into the Tiger Blood Stronghold. Everyone was very nervous, as they were prepared for Xia Xuan and the others to escape at any time.

    Yang Qiang was in his own house, standing by the side of the bed as he paced back and forth. The hand holding the tiger-headed large knife was already sweating, and his expression was filled with anxiety and unease. Everything he had now was largely dependent on his Realm Heart. If he didn''t have it now, what would he do in the future?

    At the center of the formation, there was Xia Xuan. Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi, Mo Youxue, and Mo Haoxue sat in a circle with their legs crossed, while Xia Xuan sat in the center.

    The seven of them were all in a state of cultivation, but the six of them had their hands sealed in a mysterious seal, without spiritual energy to use, a mysterious power was gathering in their bodies. The energy could not be seen, but they could vaguely sense its existence, and the seven of them did not increase their cultivation with the energy, but the auras of the seven people had become much stronger.

    Peng Hong intended for Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong and Mo Haoxue to become the pillars of the competition, but that did not mean that Xia Xuan was useless. Since there was a pillar, then there must be something supported by the pillar. It was very obvious that the six pillars supported this world, and what Xia Xuan carried was this world.

    If he succeeded this time, Xia Xuan would become the soul of this world, he would be the ruler of this world, and Wang Hao''s group of six would be the backbone of his power.

    Peng Hong''s secret technique could relieve the majority of Xia Xuan and the others'' suffering, thus, it was not difficult for them to cultivate successfully.

    Peng Hong who was looking quietly at the scene suddenly frowned, his gaze turned towards an empty spot, after a long while his face suddenly turned serious.

    "He was indeed discovered." Peng Hong muttered to himself. Then, with a swipe of his hand, a space tunnel was instantly sliced apart. Without Xia Xuan and the rest knowing, Peng Hong immediately drilled into the space tunnel s, and before they even realized it, Peng Hong had left.

    Time passed unknowingly. After an unknown period of time, they felt a pain that made their bodies tremble non-stop. However, this kind of pain was not something they, who were reincarnated as Divine Generals, could not endure.

    Very quickly, the seven of them opened their binocular s, and from within the seven binocular s, a strange light shone. Currently, the light array beneath their feet was no longer mysterious. The seven of them felt that as long as they had sufficient cultivation base, it would be easy for them to inscribe this formation.

    Xia Xuan''s eyes looked in Peng Hong''s direction, but he did not see Peng Hong. Instead, there was a space tunnel slowly opening up.

    After opening the space tunnel, Peng Hong walked out. However, the current Peng Hong could not help but give everyone a huge shock. Peng Hong''s hands were covering his chest, his face was pale, and at the corner of his mouth was a trace of blood. He did not walk out of the space tunnel, but fell out, and his entire body fell onto the array.

    Although the world which Peng Hong came in contact with was very strong and young, everyone had already realized how terrifying Peng Hong''s strength was. This man who came from outside of the Sixth Way was definitely not as simple and honest as he seemed on the surface. Maybe in his previous life, Xia Xuan and the others might not necessarily be able to defeat Peng Hong.

    Xia Xuan and the rest were startled, then they rushed over to Peng Hong''s side and supported him up. During this time, Xia Xuan curiously glanced at the space tunnel. Although it was only a glance, Xia Xuan felt a gargantuan and indescribable power, and inside it, an earth-shattering battle was definitely taking place.

    "Let''s go." Peng Hong said with great difficulty, and then he turned into a ray of light, fusing into Xia Xuan''s body and falling into a deep sleep.

    Xia Xuan and the rest of the seven looked at each other, and all of them could see a stern look in their eyes. Xia Xuan used a profound seal with his hands, and after that, the formation erupted with a shocking light, causing the seven of them to disappear.

    After a long while, the array suddenly erupted with rays of light, Yang Qiang who was waiting for it immediately grabbed onto the tiger-headed large knife, staring straight at the array.

    Before Yang Qiang could react, a silver figure had already appeared behind Yang Qiang, with a big hand holding onto the spiritual energy''s neck. Yang Qiang was so frightened that he did not even dare move.

    Wang Hao and the other three immediately appeared in the room. When the six of them appeared, they rushed out of the house with Xia Xuan without hesitation.

    When the disciples of the Tiger Blood Sect s that filled the sky saw Xia Xuan and the rest, they originally wanted to swarm over, but when they saw that Yang Qiang was being held hostage, they no longer dared to act rashly.

    No one dared to move again. Xia Xuan''s group of seven quickly arrived in front of the space tunnel. Although the space tunnel was still protected by the power of space, it was as easy as flipping my hand to the current Xia Xuan to break open the power of space.

    Xia Xuan''s large hand directly pressed onto the spatial energy, protecting it before collapsing. Not only that, even the spatial shield that shrouded the entire Tiger Blood City were shattered one after another. One could only imagine how profound Xia Xuan''s control over the spatial energy was.

    Just as Xia Xuan and the rest were about to drill into the space tunnel, a ray of light flashed across the distant sky, and a shooting star suddenly shot towards Tiger Blood City.

    "Boom!" In everyone''s shocked gaze, half of the Tiger Blood City was smashed flat, causing dust to fly into the air immediately. When the dust finally settled, they saw that Xia Xuan and the other seven had already disappeared, and the one who had smashed down previously was also gone as well, leaving a dazed Yang Qiang standing beside the space tunnel.

    Chapter 230 - Swear to God

    The current desolation could be said to be many times stronger than before. Although there was no longer Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang, the desolation was still developing at an astonishing speed.

    A space tunnel suddenly appeared on one of the mountains in the desolation. From the space tunnel, a few human figures came out, they were none other than Xia Xuan and his group. Only, Xia Xuan and the rest were not the only people who came out of the space tunnel, there was also a golden-haired girl. From the looks of her face, it was none other than Yan Shuang!

    At this time, Yan Shuang was covered in wounds, her hair was in a mess, and her aura was extremely sluggish. Xia Xuan could feel that Yan Shuang had already collapsed, and it was probably difficult for her to even stand up.

    Xia Xuan found a large tree and carried Yan Shuang on his back. He slowly placed his body on the ground, and seeing Yan Shuang''s scarred look, his heart couldn''t help but feel a sharp pain, and looked towards the sky with an angry look. It was fine to harm him, but Celestial King had harmed Yan Shuang, and his only kin.

    "Celestial King, I''ll remember it." Xia Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his voice was filled with killing intent. If not for the fact that he could not go to The Divine Realm, Xia Xuan would have ignored everything and turned The Divine Realm upside down.

    "What''s wrong with Big Sister Shuang''er?" Mo Youxue was meticulously treating the Flame Frost''s wound, and when she understood how serious its injuries were, she couldn''t help but ask.

    Celestial King rebelled against the Divine Generals, when I rushed to The Divine Realm, I was blocked by Liquor God, but Liquor God only stopped me for a moment, and then left, although I felt that it was impossible to turn the situation around, and just when Celestial King was about to be completely annihilated, he suddenly left, I relied on my own ability on myself to protect everyone as I escaped, but there were no enemies, cough cough ˇ­ As Yan Shuang spoke, she coughed out blood.

    "He''s gone, could it be that the person fighting Peng Hong before was him?" Xia Xuan muttered, in the entire Tian Lin Continent, the only one who could fight Peng Hong was probably the mysterious Exotic Devil King.

    "What!" The others naturally heard Xia Xuan''s mutterings, and after that, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They didn''t think that Peng Hong was actually so strong, to the point where he could become enemies with the Celestial King.

    At this time, in the distant The Divine Realm, she was no longer as holy as she used to be. Now that she was in ruins, the intense battle had destroyed some of them. Many of the Ares-class''s corpses were lying on the ground, and even the corpse of the Divine Master was lying on top of them.

    Suddenly, a space tunnel opened, and one of the Celestial King''s space tunnel threw itself forward, at the same time throwing itself onto the chair, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Luckily, there were no other gods around, otherwise the Celestial King would definitely have killed it.

    "Peng Hong, remember this." The Celestial King sat on the chair, the gingiva bit hard, and its low voice emitted a wave of Evil Qi, if anyone else were to find out, the Evil Qi that the Celestial King was emitting was difficult to conceal, it was not Demonic Qi, but was more sinister than Demonic Qi.

    Within the tens of thousands of mountains in desolation, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue had finished treating Yan Shuang''s injuries, but Yan Shuang was already unconscious, so Xia Xuan carried her and flew back to the Martial City.

    As the main city of the desolation, the scale of the current Martial City was greatly different from before. From far away, Xia Xuan could see the outline of a huge figure imprinted on the ground.

    Before Xia Xuan could even get close to the Martial City, dozens of people flew over, among the dozens of people there were two leaders, one of them who looked young said unrestrainedly as he arrived in front of Xia Xuan: "Flying is not allowed above the Martial City, get lost."

    Just as Xia Xuan wanted to say something, the older leader of the group quickly pulled the young leader and knelt in front of Xia Xuan: "Greetings Lord Sector lord, I was blind just now, please forgive me."

    When the others heard this, their faces were filled with shock. After that, all of them kneeled in the air and said in unison: "We greet Sector lord."

    Xia Xuan nodded and looked towards the young leader. At this time, the young leader was still in a daze, Xia Xuan could imagine how broken his heart must have been.

    "I''m finished. Facing Sector lord like this, my future is bleak." The young leader wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He just sat paralyzed in the air, and facing the Sector lord like this, he already did not know how he could save his future.

    "All of you, get up. I''ve been gone for a long time, it''s normal for you to not recognize me." Xia Xuan waved his hand, and flew straight back to the Wu City.

    "You, ah ~" The older leader patted the young leader lightly and sighed, then led the group of people to Xia Xuan.

    Just as he reached the air above the Martial City, the little Zheng flew over, arriving beside Xia Xuan. Its big head continuously rubbed against Xia Xuan''s body, making it look like a cute and obedient cat.

    The current Little Zheng was much larger than when Xia Xuan had left, and the Little Zheng''s size was also constantly growing after he had levelled up. In the two months that Xia Xuan had been gone, the Little Zheng had grown quite a bit, and it was probably now even larger than a few mature leopards.

    Xia Xuan rubbed the little Zheng''s head, the little Zheng was also very cooperative, squinting his eyes, very obedient.

    Xia Xuan''s hand very naturally touched the corner of the little Zheng''s head, and the moment he touched it, he felt a huge power from within the corner. Even Xia Xuan could not help but be greatly surprised by this power.

    Quickly retracting his palm, Xia Xuan carefully sized up the little Zheng who was staring at him with widened eyes and could not help but mumble: "Is this the power of a Zheng? "It''s really scary."

    Very quickly, a large number of people flew over from the city, there were many familiar faces, Xia Muning, the eight Suo Jia brothers, Miao Linger, as well as the various elders and Sect Leader s. Of course, there were many that Xia Xuan did not recognise, but none of them possessed a strong aura, which meant that this was probably the power of the desolation''s growth.

    "Welcome, Sector lord." When they arrived in front of Xia Xuan, everyone knelt down and said respectfully.

    Xia Xuan nodded his head and waved his hand. A wave of spiritual energy s carried everyone up, and looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Xia Xuan could not help but have a serious expression.

    "Everyone, I came back this time because I have something I want to tell everyone. I want to go to God-Slaying Manor, so I might need to leave for a few years." Xia Xuan said, then saw that everyone was frowning.

    "The desolation has only been established recently. Can''t you go later?" The others weren''t convenient to speak of, but Xia Muning spoke of it instead. She hadn''t established the desolation for long, so it wasn''t too good for him to just leave for a few years.

    "No, this matter is a little urgent. The The Divine Realm that you do not know about is already in chaos, we need the power of the God-Slaying Manor." Xia Xuan shook his head and said seriously, "All of you need to speed up the development of desolation. Perhaps in a few years, this part of the Mainland will be in flames of war."

    "Aunt, I shall leave desolation to you. Little Zheng, come with me." Xia Xuan explained his entire body to Xia Muning before turning his gaze to the unconscious Yan Shuang. He swore silently in his heart that Celestial King would definitely die.

    Xia Xuan and the rest of the six looked at each other, and then released a mysterious seal from their hands at the same time. A space tunnel appeared in front of Xia Xuan, and Xia Xuan took a last look at Xia Muning and the other people who came to welcome him, before finally drilling into the space tunnel.

 C231

    Chapter 231 - Sky Heaven City

    No city had space tunnel from the desolation to the God-Slaying Manor, so Xia Xuan and the rest had to rely entirely on themselves to drive their space tunnel to the God-Slaying Manor.

    Therefore, every time Xia Xuan and the others jumped a distance, they would have to open a new space tunnel. The repeated opening of the space tunnel was not a light strain on everyone, but it was fortunate that during their repeated training, everyone''s usage of spatial energy had increased by a lot.

    Once again climbing out from the space tunnel, Xia Xuan was exhausted to the point that he was drenched in sweat. Looking at his six similarly exhausted comrades, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile.

    After resting for a bit, Xia Xuan summoned his Spirit Qi again. The spatial energy once again surged, and the seven of them channeled their spatial energy at the same time.

    With regards to this place, Xia Xuan did not dare say that he was familiar with it, but he knew of every single place.

    The city was not too big, but Xia Xuan had a fairly deep impression of this city, because if one wanted to join the Divine Palace, they had to come to this city, because there would be a preliminaries in this city.

    Standing in midair, Xia Xuan took a deep breath, and felt this spiritual energy that was much denser than the ones in Xing Bei. With a happy expression, he sighed with emotion: "We''re finally here."

    As he was sighing, an image flashed past Xia Xuan''s mind. Tens of thousands of years ago, Xia Xuan, Wang Hao and the others had met here, and it could be said that they had become friends without fighting.

    In that competition, Xia Xuan''s group of seven had successfully defeated all of the other Participant s and achieved the best results in all of the previous rounds. The scene of the seven people cheering while holding the trophy was something that Xia Xuan would never forget for the rest of his life.

    Coming back to his senses, Xia Xuan looked around, only to see that the people who passed by all avoided the terrifying s that were rushing there.

    "It seems a little too eye-catching." Xia Xuan felt very helpless facing such a situation, he could only extend his hand, carry Flame Frost on his back, and fly towards the city with Wang Hao and the others.

    Landing outside the city, Xia Xuan looked at the location of the city gate, and started to draw the words on the city gate. Based on modern knowledge, he did not know what the three meant, but as the reincarnation of the Deicide, Xia Xuan recognized them.

    Currently, there was a long queue in front of Sky Heaven City. All of these people were here to participate in the selection competition, and all of their auras were very strong, the weakest of them were actually Mystical King s, and the strongest actually had Xuanzun experts.

    "That won''t do." Xia Xuan looked at the unconscious Yan Shuang and then looked at the frighteningly long team. He could feel Yan Shuang''s aura becoming weaker, she needed treatment.

    With a sudden wave of Xia Xuan''s hand, a spiritual energy shot up into the sky. The spiritual energy exploded in the sky as a strange pattern appeared on it.

    The explosion in the sky attracted everyone''s attention.

    "He''s sick." Seeing Xia Xuan''s actions, the surrounding people all spoke out, and then lined up quietly.

    Xia Xuan did not care about the reaction of the people around him, and his gaze was fixated at the city gate, waiting for someone to arrive.

    The crowd silently lined up. The space above the city gate suddenly became extremely distorted, and an old man appeared in the air above the city gate.

    Old Man was dressed in white, and his waist-long hair was also snow-white. Following the appearance of Old Man, the surrounding spiritual energy all became restless, as if the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy were afraid of this person. The Old Man landed lightly on the ground, causing the surrounding people to fear the Old Man, and scattered.

    When the Old Man appeared, one of the gate guards who looked older than the others immediately rushed over. Holding his hands, he bent down and said to the Old Man, "I wonder why Elder Xue is visiting today."

    Old Man didn''t even look at that person and his gaze immediately locked onto Xia Xuan who was in the group. To be more precise, it was the flame frost on Xia Xuan''s back.

    Under many gazes, Old Man suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Xia Xuan.

    "Plop!" Under everyone''s shocked gazes, Old Man directly kneeled in front of Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan carried Yan Shuang in his arms and looked at her pale face. Then, he looked at Old Man and said, "She is heavily injured, take your family''s Holy Spirit Pill." With that, Xia Xuan handed the flame frost over to Old Man.

    Old Man took the flame frost and nodded at Xia Xuan. Then, he disappeared with the flame frost.

    "Who was that Old Man?" There were some in the crowd who had never seen the world, and after seeing the Old Man leave, they asked the people around them.

    That is the famous Great Clan Elder of the Time Mansion, Senior Xue Qing. " The words of the person who was being asked shocked the person who was looking at him as if he were a monster.

    "Although you have handed the flame frost over to Xue Qing, Xia Xuan still does not feel at ease. If it wasn''t for the fact that he needs to participate in the selection, he would have definitely followed Xue Qing to Time Mansion.

    Just at this time, the gatekeeper who greeted Xue Qing previously came to the front of Xia Xuan and said respectfully: "Everyone, I have eyes to kill Mt. Tai previously, I hope to atone for my sins." Saying that, the man leaned to the side and invited Xia Xuan into the city.

    Xia Xuan nodded and walked towards the city gate. Seeing that, Wang Hao and the other six followed. At this time, the gatekeeper turned to Xia Xuan and asked: "Who are these people?"

    "My brother, can''t you enter?" Xia Xuan was not in a very good mood. She tilted her head as if looking at gatekeeper and said with a cold voice that did not contain a trace of emotion.

    "No, no objections." immediately said, frightened by Xia Xuan''s ice-cold voice. At the same time, he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

    Ignoring the gatekeeper, Xia Xuan and the rest continued towards the city.

    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Xuan''s group of seven and one beast walked into the city. Everyone''s eyes were filled with envy, and at the same time, they guessed the origins of Xia Xuan and the rest. In their minds, they did not remember Xia Xuan and the other people, but the seven people who suddenly appeared actually brought along the Time God.

    Xia Xuan and the others were actually quite late, but when they entered, they were immediately shocked. At this time, the Sky Hall was already filled with a sea of people, Xia Xuan''s consciousness swept around and discovered no less than ten Xuanzun experts, as for those who were deliberately concealing their presence, he did not know how many of them were there.

    "Do you still remember what we did here?" Xia Xuan asked the six of them.

    "Of course I do. I wonder if our record has been broken." Wang Hao laughed, and then clenched his fists, causing a crackling sound.

    "The record breaker just arrived?" Xia Xuan laughed, in his eyes, the selection was not difficult at all.

    Chapter 232 - Information

    The gatekeeper followed closely behind, holding both of his hands in front of him, he bent down and said to Xia Xuan: "Why don''t you all come to City Lord''s Mansion for a chat, I think the City Lord will welcome you."

    "No need, we have a place to stay." Xia Xuan waved his hand, and was about to walk into the city, but before he could take a few steps he turned his head and said to the gatekeeper: "That''s right, what is your name?"

    When the gatekeeper heard Xia Xuan asking about him, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly replied: "My name is Run Ze, I am in charge of searching the people entering and leaving the city."

    Xia Xuan nodded his head, and said: "Next time, when you speak, straighten your back, and live with dignity." With that said, Xia Xuan headed back into the city.

    The preliminaries to enter the Divine Palace was a very grand event. The people chosen for the preliminaries could directly become Divine Palace disciples, and the final champion could even become their own chosen Divine Palace, becoming a disciple that was focused on nurturing.

    Every time, during the selection competition, there would always be a lot of people sleeping on the streets because they did not have a place to stay, so the most famous person in Sky Heaven City was the Inn.

    At this time, a terrifying building, even from the edge of the city, could be seen. At this time, the front of the building was filled with people, all of them were Xuanhuang experts, and under such circumstances, it was hard to avoid friction.

    After arriving in front of this building, Xia Xuan looked at the building that was practically piercing through the clouds, and couldn''t help but smile. Looking at the signboard on the door of the building, he couldn''t help but mutter: "Seven Stars Restaurant, you want to pick a star? Or is it a certain seven people? " As he said that, a golden plate appeared in Xia Xuan''s hands.

    The surrounding people naturally did not notice Xia Xuan, but the light from the signboard would occasionally shine onto the building.

    Not long after, there was a sudden movement from the quiet building. A gentle and beautiful voice said, "Someone seems to be too conceited. My Big Dipper is naturally picking the Big Dipper from the sky."

    "Rumble." The door slowly opened, and the surrounding people immediately rushed in when they saw it. However, before they could even enter, they were sent flying by a strong wave of spiritual energy, which immediately gave everyone a fright.

    A beautiful figure slowly walked out from the door. It was a woman wearing a qipao. She was tall and there was no makeup to be seen on her face. However, such a face without makeup was as beautiful as a fairy.

    However, the most attractive part wasn''t her face. Her legs were 1.5 meters long. The legs that exceeded the golden ratio didn''t seem out of place on her body. Instead, her legs attracted everyone''s attention.

    "Gulp." A series of grunts sounded out. Many people secretly swallowed their Saliva and at the same time, the binocular glanced over the woman''s body. They did not have any thoughts of shifting their gaze.

    "This must be the famous Lady Ling Bing right? I am Yun Jin from the Yun Huang Sect, I hope Lady Ling Bing can give me some face ˇ­" A man who looked extremely handsome brazenly came in front of Ling Bing and said to the lady. But before Yun Jin could finish speaking, Ling Bing walked past him and straight towards you, Xia Xuan.

    Upon being ignored, Yun Jin was immediately stunned. The surrounding people were also stunned.

    "The famous Yun Jin has been ignored. It''s a slap to the face." A low murmur sounded. Although the sound was very soft, Yun Jin still heard it and immediately, anger appeared on his face.

    Ignoring Yun Jin, Ling Bing went straight to Xia Xuan''s side. He looked at the golden plate in Xia Xuan''s hands, and then looked at Xia Xuan with a complicated expression.

    "Long time no see." After looking at Xia Xuan affectionately for a long time, Ling Bing did not say much.

    "Long time no see." Xia Xuan responded as he kept the gold plate. After that, he did not know what he should do.

    Just then, Ling Bing suddenly erupted with a burst of spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy was not rushing towards Xia Xuan, but behind him, and Yun Jin, who was rushing over, was instantly flung into the air.

    Ling Bing didn''t even look at Yun Jin, but the binocular was still looking at Xia Xuan deeply. He only heard his say, "Let''s go in and chat.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan nodded, and then the group of people followed Ling Bing into the Seven Stars Restaurant.

    Amidst the envious gazes from the surroundings, Xia Xuan and his group directly walked into Seven Stars Restaurant. Looking at the gate of Seven Stars Tower which was slowly closing, many people were thinking about the history of Xia Xuan and the others, and at the same time, were thinking about whether they were going to sleep on the streets today.

    After entering Seven Stars Pavilion, what was displayed before his eyes could no longer be described as Inn. The extravagant decorations and the materials used to build it were not the stuff of normal Inn s.

    Although the Inn were not ordinary, Xia Xuan could see that this place was exactly the same as before. Even though it had been rebuilt many times over a long period of time, no matter how many times it had been reconstructed, there was not the slightest change in the structure of this place.

    After walking for a long time within the Inn, Xia Xuan and his group finally arrived at the top floor of the Inn. There was only one room in the room, and the moment the door was opened, the aroma of dishes rushed towards them. There was a large table with all sorts of dishes on it.

    Circling the eight chairs around the table, the eight people each found a chair and sat down without the slightest hesitation. It was as if those seats belonged to them in the first place.

    "Any good information?" Not long after he sat down, Xia Xuan asked Ling Bing.

    "Of course I do, but I''ll only tell you if you kiss me." At this time, Ling Bing had become extremely mischievous, she extended her face towards Xia Xuan, and indicated for him to kiss her with her jade-like fingers.

    Seeing that, the others snickered, but did not interrupt, as Ling Bing was still as mischievous as before.

    Xia Xuan couldn''t help but have black lines on his face as he said in a helpless tone, "Stop messing around."

    "Humph!" Ling Bing snorted, then said: "There are quite a few people coming to the selection this time, I''ll explain it to you slowly."

    Listening to Ling Bing describe each and every strong opponent''s introduction, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but frown, this was truly a talent born from a different generation, the current selection was much more difficult than the one he participated in before.

    "Oh yeah, there''s something you guys need to know, the record you guys set ten thousand years ago has already been broken. The people who broke it are currently in The Divine King''s Mansion, and are already The Divine King''s Mansion''s direct disciples." After he finished speaking about the opponent Xia Xuan needed to pay attention to, Ling Bing suddenly asked about something.

    "Oh, looks like we''ll have to put in more effort in the preliminaries." Xia Xuan laughed, and said.

    "Oh right, open the Inn, we can''t disturb your business." Just as he was about to move the chopsticks, Xia Xuan suddenly thought of something and said to Ling Bing.

    "I knew you were the one who cared about me the most, brother." Ling Bing stood up happily and bent over to pat Xia Xuan''s head. However, when she bent over, her lower half of the business line was exposed to Xia Xuan, making him blush.

    Ling Bing revealed a smile as if he had succeeded in something, and happily walked out of the room like a child.

    Chapter 233 - Test

    In the morning, Xia Xuan opened the window of his room and took a deep breath of the fresh air with the little Zheng.

    "You''re up so early." Suddenly, the door opened, and Ling Bing walked in slowly with a bowl of hot porridge in his hands.

    "You''ve gone through so much trouble to get that meat porridge on your skin." Xia Xuan looked at the bowl of hot porridge and smiled.

    "What''s there to be happy about? It''s not for you." Just as Xia Xuan was about to receive the porridge, Ling Bing put away the porridge and said proudly.

    "Eh." With this, Xia Xuan became a little embarrassed and slowly retracted his hand. He did not know what to do next.

    "Hehe, kiss me and this bowl of congee is yours." Ling Bing once again activated mischievous mode, showing Xia Xuan his face, indicating him to kiss her.

    "Stop messing around. I''m your sworn brother." Xia Xuan waved his hand helplessly, and then directly forced the porridge in Ling Bing''s hand.

    Ling Bing did not hide anymore and handed the porridge over to Xia Xuan. Looking at Xia Xuan who was about to drink the porridge, he said again, "It''s just someone I want to become sworn brothers with, as long as there''s love, there''s no problem."

    "Pfft." Although he did not drink the porridge, Xia Xuan already had the urge to vomit blood. With a pu sound, the porridge was almost blown away.

    "Hee hee." Ling Bing seemed to like Xia Xuan a lot. He immediately started laughing out loud, and the way he was covering his mouth and chuckling made Xia Xuan feel that this little sister of his was still the same as he was ten thousand years ago, so cute and naughty.

    After drinking a bowl of porridge, Xia Xuan headed downstairs. Along the way, he met Wang Hao and the rest, and they gathered together.

    When he came to the first floor, he found that many people had already woken up. Each of them were eating breakfast as they talked about the interesting things that happened yesterday, of which Xia Xuan heard the most about Ling Bing and Xia Xuan''s matter yesterday.

    Everyone had already eaten breakfast, so they directly walked out of Seven Stars Restaurant. Arriving at the main street, he realised that everyone was gathering towards one direction, and that direction was the direction of the City Lord''s Mansion.

    "Is today the day of the test?" Sensing the direction of the crowd, Xia Xuan could not help but ask curiously.

    "Do you still remember? We thought that you were so happy to see Ling Bing that you forgot the day of the test." Wang Hao teased, causing everyone to laugh out loud.

    Feeling extremely helpless, Xia Xuan could only walk towards the City Lord''s Mansion. Since today was the day of the examination, he was afraid that he would have to show off.

    The distance between City Lord''s Mansion and Seven Stars Tower was not far, and in a short moment, Xia Xuan arrived at the City Lord''s Mansion. Even though Xia Xuan had arrived very early, they were still helpless before him.

    There were ten tables in front of the City Lord''s Mansion, and on each table, there was a crystal ball. The people lined up, they placed their hands on the crystal ball, and entered the spiritual energy into the crystal ball.

    As they lined up, Xia Xuan kept looking at the examinees, the majority of them giving off a light glow. When the people around the table saw this, they all shook their heads and waved their hands, allowing the examinee to leave in disappointment.

    There were a few examinees who would shine brightly during the test, and those sitting at the table would be pleasantly surprised. They would let the people next to them record something down and hand a tablet to the examiner. Then, the examiner would leave under the envious gazes of the crowd.

    "Wow." Just as they were lining up, surprised voices came one after another. A crystal ball not too far away from Xia Xuan was emitting light that shot into the sky, so light that even his eyes could not open.

    Xia Xuan looked towards the light, and could vaguely see a man carrying a large knife. The man''s body was very imposing, and after recognizing the man''s identity, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but rub his chin, and muttered: "Pao Peng."

    The sword on the man''s back was something Xia Xuan knew very clearly. That blade was a pumpkin knife, and Pao Peng''s identity was also very clear. He was the pumpkin''s son. Xia Xuan still remembered that Ling Bing had said yesterday that among all the participants, he was definitely one that everyone paid special attention to. It was said that his talent was far higher than a pumpkin, and was a key target for the The Divine King''s Mansion to train in, so even if he didn''t participate in the selection competition, he could still join the The Divine King''s Mansion.

    "I wonder if I will die from anger after stealing the Overlord''s Saber." Touching his chin, Xia Xuan laughed sinisterly, then retracted his gaze. At this time, he had already lined up in front of the table.

    The person in charge of inspecting the crystal ball also regained his senses. When he saw Xia Xuan, this Mystical King, he could not help but reveal an impatient expression, and said with an impatient voice: "Hurry and test it."

    "Alright." Instead of getting angry, Xia Xuan had a smile on his face, slowly placed his hand on the crystal ball, and then transferred the spiritual energy into it.

    "Wow." Because of Pao Peng, the atmosphere became fiery for a while, but before the atmosphere had calmed down, another wave of alarmed cries came from the audience.

    A ray of blood red light soared into the sky, the intensity of the light dyeing the sky red. Xia Xuan''s light was far more intense than Pao Peng''s. All of them were blinded by the light rays, at the same time, they were shocked by Xia Xuan''s innate talent.

    In the eyes of the people in the Divine General''s Estate, those without talent had no value in nurturing them. They did not have the mind to spend a large amount of resources on those who could only strive for power.

    The intensity of the light ray was equivalent to a person''s Inherent Skill. A light ray of Pao Peng''s level could already be considered a peerless genius, and light ray of Xia Xuan''s level was something that was hard to come by in a thousand years.

    After the light faded, the person beside the table was stunned. He waited for a long time before regaining his senses, and a look of ecstasy surfaced on his face. He hurriedly said to the person who had recorded down the information: "Record, record." With that, the man handed over a purple token to Xia Xuan with respect.

    "The selection competition will begin in three days. I believe you can enter any mansion." When he handed over the plate, the man''s face was full of smiles, causing Xia Xuan to laugh uncontrollably, he took the plate and prepared to leave.

    However, things did not come to an end just like that. There were still six people behind Xia Xuan, but when Xia Xuan left, six beams of light that were as strong as Xia Xuan''s emitted out as well. Everyone was stunned, for seven of the geniuses that only appeared once every thousand years, had actually appeared today.

    The seven of them had smiles on their faces as they looked at the stunned crowd. Finally, they left under the gaze of everyone.

    At this time, inside the City Lord''s Mansion, dozens of people were seated upright, all of them holding cups of tea in their hands. Xia Xuan even recognized one of them;

    "Phew, your son seems to have lost." A Old Man took a sip of tea and said.

    "Humph, there are great talents in the martial arts world. All of you should be more concerned about whether or not you can recruit new blood." He gave a cold snort and no longer paid any attention to those elders from the other Divine General Palaces.

    Listening to the others talking about the good seedlings they had taken a fancy to, and taking a sip of tea, the binocular could not help but narrow its eyes.

 C234

    Chapter 234 - Selection Start

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Today could be said to be the busiest day in the entire Sky Heaven City, and everyone had already gotten up early. They were still all in City Lord''s Mansion, and the number of people that had gathered did not decrease at all.

    There was a huge space above the City Lord''s Mansion to talk about tunnels, but that space tunnel was not completely dark. One could clearly see all sorts of things within the space tunnel from outside the City Lord''s Mansion. This was an independent space, and it was a place where all living things were stored.

    "Everyone, welcome to Sky Heaven City''s Mayor Pang Yu." Everyone, welcome to Sky Heaven City''s City Lord Pang Yu. It was already noon, just as everyone was about to lose their patience, a vigorous voice sounded. The City Lord''s Mansion''s door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in silk walked out.

    Everyone quieted down when they saw the city lord. Numerous gazes looked towards Pang Xi, waiting for his next words.

    "Today is the day of the selection. Everyone, you have all been tested three days ago, so as long as you bring out your Token, you will naturally be able to enter. As for those who have not obtained one, you can watch here." Under the stares from the crowd, Pang Xi directly said this without wasting any time. Then, with a wave of his hand, the gigantic space tunnel in the sky started to emit a dazzling light.

    The atmosphere at the scene immediately became explosive. Many people took out the Token that they obtained three days ago, and the Token actually resonated with the space tunnel. A pillar of light shot out from the Token, connecting it to the space tunnel.

    Hundreds and thousands of rays of light shot up into the sky, the scene was extremely spectacular, especially the light that was especially intense, it was purple, but what was astonishing was that Xia Xuan was not the only one with thousands of rays of purple light, there were more than ten of them in the field.

    The purple Token was the symbol of a peerless genius. In the Qualifying Competition to the Realm, there would be one purple ray of light that was a must-have for all the generals of the Great God s. And in this selection, there were more than ten people that had appeared.

    Xia Xuan also did not expect there to be so many people with such exceptional talent. Just as he was about to tilt his head to take a look at those people, his vision suddenly darkened, and he appeared in another place.

    This was the scene that Xia Xuan saw outside of the space tunnel. It was clear and beautiful with many layers of mountains and valleys, and low roars of beasts could be heard from time to time.

    There were tens of thousands of mountains here, and all of them were arranged in a circle. In the center of the world was a mountain called ''Gathering Heroes''. All of the participants were randomly sent to a certain corner of this world.

    "Everyone, Participant, the world you live in is the selection place. You only have one goal, and that is to obtain the flag on the mountain. I don''t care what methods you use, as long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want." Pang Yu''s voice once again rang out. After Xia Xuan heard it, he couldn''t help but reveal a smile on his face.

    A rule without a rule was the best rule in Xia Xuan''s opinion.

    Looking around, he realized that there were a few people around him too, but Xia Xuan did not recognize any of them. When they noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze, they immediately activated their spiritual energy and left, afraid that they would offend this person with exceptional talent.

    Of course, there were some among the group who were not sensible, only seeing a tall and sturdy man slowly walking towards Xia Xuan.

    "Brat, you are that Mystical King level genius, right? You can consider it bad luck that I met you today. I heard that Token can be traded here, and if you hand your Token over, I won''t beat you up." That man said in an extremely haughty manner, completely unaware of the smile on Xia Xuan''s face.

    "Do you know why no one dares to steal my Token?" Xia Xuan''s eyes narrowed into a dangerous curve when he smiled.

    "Why?" It was only then that the man noticed that the others had all left, and that no one else had come to snatch the Token like him.

    Even if my Token is eliminated after being robbed, I would still enter the Divine General''s Estate afterwards. Furthermore, I am a direct disciple. Xia Xuan explained, and at the same time revealed a sinister smile.

    When the man heard Xia Xuan''s words, a hint of hesitation instantly surfaced on his face. The stunned him finally realised that all of this had its own hidden rules.

    After hesitating for a long time, the big dumb guy actually said: "I don''t care about that much, whether or not we''ll be in the same house in the future, the main thing now is to steal your Token." After he finished speaking, a large knife appeared in the man''s hand. Although the man''s brain was a little numb, his aura had reached the level of Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor.

    The man''s aura was naturally extremely strong, but in Xia Xuan''s opinion, he was extremely weak. Xia Xuan''s hands quickly formed a seal, and fiercely struck out with a palm towards the man, causing a gigantic spiritual energy palm to instantly condense.

    The man was disdainful of Xia Xuan''s attacks. In his opinion, Xia Xuan was merely a Mystical King, and he could block his attacks with a flip of his hand.

    However, such a thought caused the man to regret it for the rest of his life. When the man struck the giant palm with all of the spiritual energy s he had accumulated, a huge force instantly surged in, causing the man to fly backwards and finally smash into the ground heavily, fainting.

    In one move against the enemy, Xia Xuan had a smile on his face. He slowly walked in front of the man and retrieved a blue Token from the man''s body. The color of the Token was a little light, which meant that the man''s talent could only be considered average.

    After putting away the Token, the man''s body became a ray of light and soon disappeared.

    The surrounding people looked at Xia Xuan as if he was a monster. Although the man''s strength was only Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor, it was impossible for him to defeat him without Xuanzun in one move. The true strength of the Teenage who possessed exceptional talent was probably comparable to that of a Xuanzun Ranker.

    Xia Xuan looked at the people around him, and when they saw Xia Xuan''s gaze turn towards them, they immediately activated their spiritual energy and flew away, afraid that Xia Xuan would suddenly go crazy and snatch their Token away.

    Xia Xuan did not have any thoughts of stealing their Token s, he had always insisted on not offending others, I did not offend anyone, and if anyone offends me, I will definitely attack them, thus, Xia Xuan would not care about those who escape.

    The goal of his victory was to obtain the flag on the mountain. No one knew where in this world there were elders of the various Divine General Palaces watching over him, but if he was not able to reach the mountain, then unless he had talent like Xia Xuan, he would not be able to enter the Divine Palace.

    Chapter 235 - Haodong (1)

    Although it was the location of the selection, it did not mean that it was impossible to trade here. In order to promote competition among the participants, there would be a few trading places in the Great God Palace, where people would sell their goods. It was useless to buy things here, only by exchanging them with other people''s Token s.

    He was in a small Auction House and there were already many people gathering there. Those people were all very careful as they held onto their Token s and looked at the goods placed in the shops. They would exchange whenever they saw someone they liked, and there were also some people who took a fancy to one item at the same time.

    After arriving here, Xia Xuan kept his Token. Although he was not afraid of trouble, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

    Walking among the various shops, Xia Xuan looked at the neatly placed goods. Although the goods were not bad, Xia Xuan did not want to buy them, not only because he did not have enough Token s to buy them, the most precious things here were not the things these flower Token bought.

    "Hey, have you heard? There''s a freak in Hundred Bird Mountain who has already eliminated hundreds of people. Now, everyone has to take a detour around him." Someone in the crowd said.

    "Of course I''ve heard of it. The most abnormal thing is that the opponent was only one person, and even the 12 wolf heads were defeated." Another person replied.

    Xia Xuan listened silently and quickly understood what they were talking about. It seemed like they were talking about the Feathered God Shangguan Zelong who could control birds.

    "If you want to set a record, then you have to find your teammates as soon as possible. Since you made such a huge ruckus, I believe the others would probably go over there as well." Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, and muttered.

    Hundred Birds Mountain was an extremely special location for the selection. This was the heaven of the spirit beast, but it was only limited to one type of spirit beast. That was the Bird spirit beast. Of course, to Shangguan Zelong, who could control birds, this was also a paradise.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan had already arrived here. The Hundred Bird Mountain was currently in a state of turmoil, with an innumerable number of spirit birds circling and flying on the Hundred Bird Mountain. At the same time, the sound of spiritual energy colliding with each other could be heard from the mountain.

    "Someone is fighting?" With a single glance, Xia Xuan saw the situation on the mountain and a smile immediately hung on his face. Shangguan Zelong''s battles were always like art, it was pleasing to the eyes.

    In the mountains, a white-robed man was standing atop a tree. Beside him were countless birds circling, and one could see that his hand was in the shape of a blade. Several feathers were arranged on the back of his hand. This man was Shangguan Zelong. After entering battle mode, he was no longer the least conspicuous, especially with his fluttering white hair. He had attracted everyone''s attention.

    Not far from Shangguan Zelong, there was a red-clothed man. The man''s fiery red hair was equally eye-catching, and a rod shaped object that was three inches long could be seen on his back. That object was wrapped in black cloth, no one knew what weapon it was.

    "Quick, quick, quick. Stop dawdling and start fighting." Just as the two were staring at each other, a shout rang out. Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue were sitting on a big withered tree on the ground, holding a large watermelon and eating it slowly.

    "Yo, it''s quite lively." A laugh sounded out, and when everyone turned to look, they saw that Xia Xuan had already arrived.

    "Perfect timing. Eating melon and eating melon. This is a rare art battle." Seeing Xia Xuan, Wang Hao immediately looked for his hand, and at the same time threw the watermelon that he had prepared to the side to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan laughed, took the watermelon and started watching as well.

    Shangguan Zelong rolled his eyes at the six people, then turned his gaze towards the red haired man. This man looked to be around seventeen years of age, but from the Qi he could tell that this man was a super strong expert with a cultivation at the peak of the third grade, and the most notable difference was that the Token on the man''s body was purple.

    Shangguan Zelong was the first to move, but the moment he moved, he immediately disappeared, and the birds in the sky flew with feathers dropping from time to time, and a white clothed figure shuttling between the feathers.

    The man already had one hand on the Weapons behind him, the binocular kept sweeping its surroundings, in its eyes, Shangguan Zelong''s speed was extremely fast, the white shadow was hard to catch with the naked eye. As a result, the man''s binocular began to slowly close and the surrounding spiritual energy''s fluctuations were clearly felt by him.

 C236

    Chapter 236 - Haodong (2)

    "Swish!" A sound rang, as the man suddenly brandished the Weapons, and with a peng sound, it collided with another type of Weapons.

    The man suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Shangguan Zelong standing right in front of him, the feather in his hand magically clashed against the man''s Weapons.

    A wave of spiritual energy s instantly burst out from the man''s body, and poured into the Weapons in his hands. In an instant, the black cloth surrounding the Weapons ignited into flames. As the black cloth burned, the true appearance of the Weapons was revealed. It was a three-inch pike, the tip of its spear emitting a shocking cold glow.

    "Blazing Tassel Spell." couldn''t help but mutter to himself when he saw the red tassel. This red tassel was very deep in Xia Xuan''s memories and similarly, it was a grow up Weapons.

    The enormous spiritual energy did not just gather on top of the pike. As the spiritual energy gushed out, its feathers that filled the sky started to blaze up. Coupled with the spiraling spirit birds in the sky, a flaming tornado was instantly formed.

    "Wow." Xia Xuan and the other three girls exclaimed at the same time. Shangguan Zelong''s battle, no matter which match, was always exciting.

    Seeing that the man suddenly erupted with a gigantic spiritual energy, Shangguan Zelong immediately activated it and disappeared.

    The man was not alarmed by Shangguan Zelong''s speed. He only saw the binocular close up once again and waved it, sending it towards the figure he had sensed.

    The man brandished the lance with great agility. Unknowingly, one fire dragon after another began to churn about in his hands. In the man''s senses, one figure after another was being smashed into pieces. However, those were not real body but rather feathers controlled by the spiritual energy.

    After waving for a long time, the man realized that he couldn''t find Shangguan Zelong''s real body at first, but after realising that something was amiss, he suddenly opened his binocular. Afterwards, he was shocked by the scene before him.

    Shangguan Zelong had already flown up to a thousand meters high in the sky. The entire sky was covered, and what blocked the sky was nothing else but the feather that Shangguan Zelong was most proficient in using. Hundreds of millions of feathers floated in the air, every feather was wrapped by spiritual energy s, the sharp feathers pointed straight at the man, waiting for Shangguan Zelong''s command.

    The feathers that filled the sky caused the man''s scalp to go numb. Under the man''s nervous gaze, Shangguan Zelong waved his hand, and the black mass of feathers immediately rushed towards the man.

    When he saw that Shangguan Zelong''s attack was only a few dozen meters away from him, the man anxiously used all of his spiritual energy''s defense, but could he really defend against it now? Of course not.

    Watching the feathers that filled the sky drop, Xia Xuan and the others stared at the binocular s that were staring at them with wide eyes. This kind of attack with hundreds of millions of feathers was Shangguan Zelong''s greatest specialty.

    Seeing that under the attack of the endless feathers, the man''s attack was about to be broken, the feathers suddenly stopped, turned into spiritual energy s, and returned to Shangguan Zelong''s body.

    "You lost." Shangguan Zelong looked down at the man from above and said with an ice-cold voice.

    The man was incomparably depressed after having lost so thoroughly. He was so depressed that he wanted to leave.

    "Wait, what''s your name?" Just then, Xia Xuan suddenly spoke out.

    "Haodong." The man simply said two words before circulating his spiritual energy and flying off into the distance.

    "Haodong, we might have to work together in the near future." Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, and looked at Haodong''s departing body, and the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but curve slightly.

    Chapter 237 - Flag Stealing

    Even though there were thousands of mountains in the selection, it was still a distance that Qi Cultivators could cross. Thinking back ten thousand years ago, Xia Xuan and the rest only used three days to enter the selection, even if there were hundreds of thousands of people blocking them, they would still not be able to stop them.

    "Swish" The sound of wind breaking sounded out. Xia Xuan and his party immediately activated their spiritual energy and flew towards the mountain. They wanted to set an even higher record, so they couldn''t waste a single second.

    There were people hurrying along the way. However, they were not as fast as Xia Xuan and the rest, and as they watched Xia Xuan and the rest''s figures disappear in the distance, they couldn''t do anything but feel anxious.

    It was night, and Xia Xuan and the rest did not stop because of the night. Although most of the spirit beast s moved during the night and travelling was very dangerous, but travelling in such a dangerous manner could save time.

    Occasionally, the spirit beast that were lying in ambush would leap up from the ground and be sent flying by Xia Xuan''s spear.

    He then sent another spirit beast flying. Just as Xia Xuan was about to increase his speed, his gaze suddenly turned towards the distance. Although it was in darkness, Xia Xuan could clearly feel the fluctuation of a spiritual energy, and the fluctuation was definitely at the Mysterious Sect level. Moreover, the energy waves weren''t emitted by a single person.

    "Yet another group of experts." Sensing the fluctuation coming from the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan could not help but mutter, "Seems like I have to increase my speed." After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan suddenly erupted with a wave of spiritual energy, and the group of seven transformed into flowing lights, appearing extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

    "Hmph, is this the reincarnation of the Deicide? It''s just a little Mystical King, what ability can he possibly have? " Just as Xia Xuan and the rest were about to disappear from the horizon, there was a mountain peak that they did not know of with seven people. Among the seven people, one of the men was still staring at the direction that Xia Xuan was heading towards.

    "That''s right, the mission given by Elder Blizzard is way too easy." A coquettish voice sounded as a lady with a beautiful figure spoke. Her voice was filled with disdain.

    There was also a sun in this world. As the sun gradually rose from the horizon, a mountain also appeared at the end of one''s sight. There were many mountains around this mountain, but compared to the other mountains, the other mountains were like dwarves. Even though it was the second time that Xia Xuan had seen the vast mountain, he was still shocked by the heroic spirit of the mountain.

    The entire mountain was wrapped in a strange power. Before they could even enter the range of the power, Xia Xuan and the rest landed on the ground, and looked at the people who were flying towards the mysterious power.

    Seeing those people fly into the area covered by the mysterious power, those people couldn''t control their bodies and directly fell down from the sky. Each and every one of them fell upside down.

    Having learned their lesson, the people at the back no longer dared to fly into the area that was shrouded by the mysterious power.

    "Just think about it. If we could fly, then what would happen in the preliminaries?" Wang Hao laughed condescendingly, and the group of people headed straight towards the mountain.

    After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Xia Xuan did not immediately climb up the mountain. Instead, he took out her Token s and wrapped them up with a group of spiritual energy s.

    Xia Xuan''s group was extremely fast, with almost seven black figures flashing on the mountain. After a while, they arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

    Just as he was hurrying, a figure suddenly passed Xia Xuan and the others, directly arriving in front of Xia Xuan, and then stood in front of him, blocking his path.

    It was a man wearing red clothes. He was very skinny, and his movements were like a monkey''s. His hands would occasionally scratch his head, and occasionally even his hands. The monkey''s sharp mouth and cheeks were completely different from a real monkey''s fur.

    "Who are you?" With his path blocked, Xia Xuan could not help but frowned and asked.

    "Hehe, I am Cuan Tian, under the orders of Elder Ding, I have come to stop you." The man smiled, not concealing his intentions in the slightest.

    Xia Xuan could not help but frown even more. The man called Cuan Tian in front of him had already reached the third stage of Mysterious Sect, and such an opponent was not easy to deal with.

    "You want to stop us with a monkey? I''m afraid you''re looking to die." Wang Hao who had a bad temper directly rushed towards Cuan Tian, at the same time, using the soul as his body, his aura instantly reached the second stage Mysterious Sect.

    Wang Hao who was suddenly attacked startled, his figure quickly retreated, but right at that moment, Su Bing suddenly appeared in front of his like a ghost, holding onto a short blade, he directly thrusted at Cuan Tian.

    Facing such a sudden attack, Cuan Tian could only dodge. Every time, he would dodge in danger.

    The others all rushed forward, the six Xuan King of the Second Rank beating Cuan Tian into a sorry state.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but frown. Cuan Tian was constantly dodging and might really be able to delay them. He believed that on the other side of the mountain, there was a group of people hurrying towards the summit with all their strength.

    "Xia Xuan, you go to the top of the mountain first, we will speak later." Seeming to know what Xia Xuan was thinking, Wang Hao shouted at Xia Xuan.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan also knew what the situation was, without hesitation, he immediately went around the battlefield and rushed towards the direction of the mountain peak.

    Seeing Xia Xuan walking towards him, Cuan Tian became anxious, he rushed forward to stop him, but before he could even use his body, Wang Hao blocked his way. With a smile on his face, he said: "Your opponent is us six."

    With Wang Hao stalling for time, Xia Xuan had already run far away, and would probably not be able to catch up.

    "Tch, anyway there are seven of them, so why should I be afraid of a brat like him?" After that, his gaze swept across Wang Hao''s group of six and started to plan how to stall for time, how to escape after this.

    The silver snakes on Xia Xuan''s body slithered as if their lives depended on it, and afterimages appeared behind his as he ran up the mountain with a speed that was hard for the naked eye to keep up with.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan arrived at the top of the mountain. He was in a plain land and from afar, Xia Xuan saw a flag, which was fluttering in the wind. From Xia Xuan''s position, he could coincidentally see that there were seven people standing on the opposite side of the plain. The auras of those seven people were not weak, and it was likely that all of them had reached the second stage of Mysterious Sect.

    It could be said that Xia Xuan had long heard of these people. Ten thousand years ago, he, Wang Hao and the others set a record of winning the championship in three days, but after that, someone broke the record. According to Ling Bing, these seven people came from the same origin as the seven people who broke their record.

    Those people had naturally noticed Xia Xuan as well, but they all revealed sinister smiles.

    "Cuan Tian is really impressive, he actually managed to stop six people." The leader of the seven laughed.

    "Cuan Tian is at least a third grade Mysterious Sect, what''s there to praise about stopping six?" A coquettish voice rang out, only to see a beautiful woman standing beside the man.

    Xia Xuan frowned, then turned his gaze to the flag, where the silver snake was running on his body, he instantly turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the flag.

    The leader of the seven sneered, then activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards the flag.

    Xia Xuan and the man arrived in front of the flag at the same time, both of their hands holding onto it at the same time. The only difference was that there were six people following closely behind the man, and their target was not the flag, but Xia Xuan.

 C238

    Chapter 238 - Equality of power

    It was said that two fists could not even fight against four hands, no matter how strong Xia Xuan was, he had no other choice. If he let go, the flag would be taken away.

    Xia Xuan had no intention to let go of the flag. Not only did he not relax his grip on the flag, he clenched it even tighter.

    Just as the six people were about to reach Xia Xuan, a figure suddenly flew over and directly crashed into the six.

    That figure''s speed was extremely fast. Before the six of them could react, they were all struck by that figure and sent flying.

    Xia Xuan was not surprised at all by this situation, but the man was stupefied. He anxiously turned his gaze to the direction where the six were landing, only to see the six of them slowly crawling back up, and the one who was attacking them was none other than Cuan Tian.

    The current Cuan Tian was already unconscious, and there was even a sound of injury.

    "Is this using numbers to bully someone?" A laugh rang out, and when they looked towards the source of the sound, they saw that Wang Hao and the other three had unknowingly arrived, all six of them smiling.

    It was only then that he realized that Wang Hao and the other three were all Second Rank Profound Mysterious Sect Warriors. It turned out that the six had been hiding their abilities the entire time.

    "All of you." The man was so angry that he didn''t know what to say. Right now, the situation wasn''t looking good.

    "My brother never let me down." Xia Xuan looked at the furious expression on the man''s face and couldn''t help but smile. Wang Hao and the others were definitely brothers that were worthy to be given to him.

    "Don''t celebrate too early, my people aren''t dead yet. And do you think that''s all we have?" The man was furious for a moment before a sinister smile appeared on his face.

    "It''s Pao Peng, right?" Xia Xuan was not surprised in the slightest as he directly revealed who the man was referring to.

    "What''s the point of knowing? Do you have anyone else that can deal with me?" Another laugh rang out. As everyone looked towards the direction of the voice, they saw that Pao Peng had already arrived without them knowing when. Pao Peng''s imposing manner, which was wielding the Overlord''s Saber, was not the least bit inferior to his opponent.

    Seeing the pelt, Xia Xuan''s gaze couldn''t help but shift in another direction. He clearly remembered that person coming up the mountain from that direction.

    "Looking forward to see me so much, aren''t you guys very strong?" Then, in the direction that Xia Xuan was looking, a figure slowly walked up the mountain. That head of fiery-red hair was none other than Haodong.

    "Haodong." Pao Peng squinted his eyes. Pao Peng recognized Haodong, from the way he looked at Haodong, Xia Xuan could sense a trace of fear. The two of them had similar levels of cultivation, but the Flaming Bee Formation Spear had existed specifically to restrain the Overlord''s Formation Breaking Blade.

    "Haodong, what are you doing?" Seeing Haodong, the man with Xia Xuan''s gun flag immediately roared.

    "Greencloud Flame, it''s not like you don''t know why the fire tassel was created. What do you think I''m going to do now?" Haodong looked at the man coldly, he then held his fire tassel and pointed it at the array gun, then walked towards Pao Peng.

    Pao Peng looked at Haodong who was slowly walking over, and his face couldn''t help but become gloomy. He didn''t want to fight Haodong at all, because in front of the fire tassel gun, the evil intent of his Overlord''s Formation Destroying Blade would be completely suppressed. His overlord''s Formation Destroying Blade, which had an imposing air to it, would no longer have any hostility, and it would be no different from a normal Weapons.

    "Halt." The six people who were accompanying Qing Yun Fire also understood the grudge between Haodong and Pao Peng, and immediately wanted to stop Haodong.

    "Don''t forget about us." Just at this moment, Wang Hao''s group of six rushed over, six against one, but everyone had a cultivation of the second stage, so no one could stop Hao Dong.

    "Do you think I''m really afraid of you?" As the proverb goes, a dog would jump a wall if they were anxious, and a rabbit would bite if they were anxious, not to mention a seven foot man like Pao Peng. Seeing that Hao Dong was getting closer and closer to him, Pao Peng finally couldn''t take it anymore and rushed towards him with his Overlord''s Saber Breaking Formation.

    Hao Dong was not afraid of Pao Peng in the slightest. Flames ignited on his tassel spear as he welcomed the Overlord''s Formation Breaking Blade. Just as the two Weapons s were about to collide, the evil aura of the Overlord''s Saber was suppressed back into the Saber under the flame of the Flaming Lance, and not a single trace of hostility could be revealed.

    The Tyrant Wyrm that did not have a domineering aura and immediately pointed its spear towards Pao Peng, causing it to fall into a disadvantageous position. If not for the fact that its cultivation was not weaker than Haodong''s, it was likely that it would have been defeated by Haodong.

    "Everything was within my expectations." Withdrawing his gaze from Haodong, Xia Xuan revealed a complacent smile towards the Cyan Cloud Fire, and then, the spiritual energy began to secretly circulate within his body.

    "The victor has not been decided yet." After that, a wave of spiritual energy gushed out from his body, actually wanting to use a powerful spear as a banner.

    Xia Xuan who had already started operating the spiritual energy suddenly released a wave of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy flew to the blade and began to work hard to get it.

    The two powers clashed on the flag, this was the most meticulous use of spiritual energy, whether or not they could snatch the flag depended on how good their use of spiritual energy was.

    At this time, other Participant had already rushed over, but when they saw the battle at the top of the mountain, all of them were shocked. Other than Cuan Tian, there were fifteen Mysterious Sect experts on the mountain peak.

    In this battlefield, the most affected area was the grassy land. In everyone''s battle, the land was completely destroyed.

    Very quickly, people noticed Xia Xuan and Qing Yun Fire who were fighting for the flag, and immediately, someone wanted to step forward and insert a foot in, followed by some people following, and they slowly rushed towards Xia Xuan and Qing Yun Fire.

    With regards to those who wanted to pick up the loot, Xia Xuan and the Green Cloud Fire would immediately kick them one by one, and those people would be sent flying one by one.

    It was a very spectacular scene, where people were kicked flying by Xia Xuan and Qing Yun Fire, and Wang Hao and the rest''s intense fight as background, it was truly a spectacular scene.

    After kicking another person flying, Xia Xuan glanced at the endless stream of people out of the corner of his eyes. Xia Xuan knew that these people could not finish the battle, the real victory was obtaining the flag.

    Another wave of spiritual energy surged out from Xia Xuan''s body, and with a twist of the spiritual energy, the flag flew out from the Green Cloud Flame''s hands.

    Once the flag was in their hands, a surge of power descended from the sky. Everyone could not move at all and a burst of light radiated from everyone''s body. Soon after, everyone returned to the front of the City Lord''s Mansion.

    Once he returned to the City Lord''s Mansion, the little Zheng immediately rushed over, vigilantly watching the people around him, ready for a sneak attack at any time.

    "He''s still too inexperienced." Xia Xuan smiled at the Cyan Cloud Fire and then walked towards Wang Hao and the others, completely ignoring the purple-hued Cyan Cloud Fire.

 C239

    Chapter 239 - Ignorance of Heaven and Earth (1)

    "Cough." Coughing sounds rang out in the air above the City Lord''s Mansion. When everyone looked towards the sky, they discovered that there were already dozens of Old Man standing, and each of their auras were extremely powerful. Although many people could not sense their true cultivation, it was likely that none of them were not Profound Emperor experts.

    There were dozens of Profound Emperor experts, and every single one of them looked calm and unfathomable. This kind of facelift was more than enough to make one call themselves a nation.

    "Everyone, the champion of the preliminaries is chosen, it''s this young lad called Xia Xuan." A leading Old Man among the Old Man said. He knew that person, Old Man.

    Numerous gazes turned towards Xia Xuan.

    The pumpkin suddenly erupted with spiritual energy and lifted Xia Xuan up. It was as if they wanted to show the champion to everyone, but Xia Xuan could feel a suppressed killing intent from the pumpkin.

    The other Old Man s looked at each other. Naturally, they could feel the killing intent in the pelt''s aura, and everyone was curious as to what kind of enmity this had with the pumpkin.

    "What? You want to kill me?" A voice that carried a smile suddenly sounded out in his ear, only to see Xia Xuan''s lips still buzzing.

    "Hmph, if these people weren''t here, I would have already killed you." He was also sending a sound transmission to Xia Xuan, and from the sound of the voice, Xia Xuan could clearly hear a kind of angry expression. In Xia Xuan''s opinion, this kind of appearance of pumpkin wanting to kill but not being able to kill was extremely laughable.

    "Alright, let''s get down to business." Suddenly, a voice came out, followed by the appearance of another spiritual energy, directly placing Xia Xuan back onto the ground. Looking at the sound, he just so happened to see Xue Qing slowly floating over.

    When he saw Xue Qing, the killing intent in the pelt s breath immediately disappeared. Compared to Xue Qing, he, a pinch, was nothing.

    "According to the rules, the winner has ten slots to choose the Divine General''s Estate. How do you plan to use them?" The moment Xue Qing arrived, he immediately took over the place as a pelt and spoke to Xia Xuan directly.

    "Child, you must think carefully. Although they are all part of the Divine General''s estate, not every Divine General''s estate is the same. You must know that there are some Divine General''s estate that are not worthy of you." A Old Man suddenly spoke out, the meaning in his words were extremely clear.

    "That''s right." Many people immediately responded in unison.

    Xia Xuan smiled slightly, and then looked at Wang Hao and the others. After everyone had comprehended Xia Xuan''s consciousness, Xia Xuan turned his gaze towards Haodong, and said to him: "You should also have a placing."

    Haodong looked at Xia Xuan deeply, and could not help but nod his head, and said: "Thank you."

    Xia Xuan laughed, then looked at Wang Hao and the others. Under the nervous and expectant gazes of the Old Man s, the seven of them said at the same time, "We choose God-Slaying Manor."

    "What!" Everyone exclaimed.

    The God-Slaying Manor was currently the most impoverished of all the Divine General Palaces. No one believed their own ears, and these seven people with unparalleled talents actually chose the most impoverished God-Slaying Manor at the same time.

    "You did not hear wrongly, we want to enter the God-Slaying Manor." Xia Xuan smiled, then looked towards the most unremarkable Old Man and said: "Elder Mo, how have you been?"

    He did not remember that he knew of such a Teenage.

    "Are you all fools? Why did you choose the most impoverished God-Slaying Manor? " One of the Old Man could no longer hold it in and shouted angrily.

    "Every Divine General''s estate has ups and downs. Do you dare say that you will not be in the future with your current glory? Are you certain that I will not be able to lead the God-Slaying Manor to greatness?" Xia Xuan retorted with a smile. For some reason, when they saw the smile on Xia Xuan''s face, many of the Old Man s started to believe that Xia Xuan was not joking.

    "Idiot, don''t you know how difficult it is to cultivate without sufficient resources? I think you are just a mere Mystical King, even if you have great talent, you won''t be able to accomplish anything in a useless palace." Another Old Man shouted in anger.

    "Heh, abandoned mansion, do you have the words to say it again?" The smile on Xia Xuan''s face instantly became sinister, the voice contained a rare killing intent, and then a huge figure exploded out from Xia Xuan''s body.

 C240

    Chapter 240 - Ignorance of Heaven and Earth (2)

    The towering figure revealed an astonishingly powerful aura. The aura of a king among the soldiers surged out and instantly pressured everyone to the point where they couldn''t even breathe.

    The face of the Old Man who had shouted out previously was now filled with fear. The binocular of the Soldier King''s Soul was staring at him closely, and a suffocating killing intent pressured him. Under the pressure of the aura, the movement of the spiritual energy in his body became sluggish.

    "Xia Xuan!" Xue Qing said, at the same time, an ice-cold spiritual energy attacked Xia Xuan''s brain, causing him to immediately regain some rationality.

    After regaining his senses, the soul of the Soldier King returned to his body. Xia Xuan tidied up the somewhat messy clothes, but the anger on his face still did not dissipate. The ice-cold binocular stared at the Old Man he had targeted and said: "I will not allow anyone to say that the God-Slaying Manor is a cripple."

    The Old Man swallowed a mouthful of the Saliva, his body couldn''t help but move backwards behind Xue Qing. A perfect soul of the Soldier King wasn''t someone he dared to provoke.

    No one else dared to speak anymore. Everyone was shocked by Xia Xuan, the atmosphere became a little quiet.

    "Cough, cough." Xue Qing was the first to break the silent atmosphere, and said: "Haodong, I believe you want to come to my Time Mansion."

    Hearing that, Hao Dong immediately cupped his hands towards Xue Qing and said: "Yes, Clan Elder Xue Qing."

    Xue Qing then turned to look at the most unremarkable Elder Mo and said: "Elder Mo, according to the rules, you can choose your candidate first."

    Elder Mo laughed, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I''ll just have to come to the God-Slaying Manor myself, I''ll welcome all of you." Elder Mo knew that other than a few people that the Divine General''s estate did not want, the rest were not willing to come to the God-Slaying Manor. Rather than having no one raise their hand during the selection, it would be better to let the people who were willing report to the God-Slaying Manor themselves.

    "At least you know your own limits." A Old Man said in disdain. After that, he noticed Xia Xuan''s ice-cold gaze and immediately, he did not dare say anything. Cold sweat could not help but flow down his forehead.

    "Alright, let''s take turns to choose people, I think Time Mansion will raise his hand." Xue Qing said again.

    There were many people in the Participant who raised their hands high up, only to see Xue Qing waving his big hands, and spiritual energy that appeared one after another surrounding the person he had chosen.

    Very quickly, one Participant after another were selected and the various elders led the people they had chosen to leave.

    "Brother Xia Xuan, I shall take my leave first." Xue Qing cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan, before bringing the person he had chosen to leave.

    "Elder Mo, do you recognize me?" Xia Xuan came in front of Elder Mo and said with a smile.

    "You are?" Elder Mo pondered for a moment, but he did not remember anyone who recognized Xia Xuan, so he asked with furrowed brows.

    Xia Xuan did not say anything and directly took out a Token. When Elder Mo saw the Token, he directly knelt on the ground and respectfully said to Xia Xuan: "Subordinate Mo Ling greets Master."

    "Get up." Xia Xuan hurriedly helped Elder Mo up. He thought back to ten thousand years ago, when Yu Ran had picked out the most loyal of the ten elders. Mo Ling was one of them.

    "What, is there something you want to say?" Supporting Mo Ling, Xia Xuan realized that there was a hint of hesitation on Mo Ling''s face, as if he wanted to say something. However, he was hesitating on what to say.

    After pondering for a long time, Mo Ling finally gritted his teeth and said, "What is happening now? The Residence is no longer the same as before."

    "What happened to God-Slaying Manor?" When Xia Xuan saw the bitter look on Mo Ling''s face, he knew that something bad had happened and immediately asked.

    "Everything that you have in The Divine Realm is currently under the control of the evil god, so there are some people who have proposed to merge the God-Slaying Manor and the God-Slaying Manor. Right now, the Palace is split into two factions, one is supporting the merger while the other is opposing the merger. Mo Ling''s voice was filled with viciousness.

    A wave of anger surged out from Xia Xuan''s body, his originally smiling face immediately became extremely gloomy, only saying: "Returning to God-Slaying Manor, it''s time to clean up a bit." With that, Xia Xuan flew to the horizon.

    What was there to do here? It was located in a place called the Heaven''s End Mountain Range. It was filled with air all year round, and people who stayed here for a long time would have a violent temper. Only people with murderous intent were useless, but they were experts who could easily control them.

    Piercing wind sounds came out, Xia Xuan and the rest were already flying over from the sky, their target was God-Slaying Manor. God-Slaying Manor wasn''t too far away from Sky Heaven City, so Xia Xuan and the others didn''t spend too much time on their journey.

    From afar, Xia Xuan already saw a gigantic energy barrier, which appeared completely as a blood colored energy barrier. A burst of air shot up into the sky in an extremely shocking manner.

    Before Xia Xuan and the rest could even get close to the God-Slaying Manor, many figures came out from under their protective shields, and welcomed them.

    As they approached each other, the person who wrote them down noticed Mo Ling. Immediately, he opened up a path and respectfully said to Mo Ling, "Greetings, Elder Mo Ling."

    Mo Ling looked at Xia Xuan, as though he wanted to listen to his arrangements. However, he saw that Xia Xuan was only shaking his head, and was walking towards God-Slaying Manor.

    Upon seeing this, Mo Ling waved his hand and said, "You all can leave. We have something important to attend to."

    "Yes." The disciples replied, and then quietly followed behind Xia Xuan and the rest.

    Arriving in front of the crimson barrier, before even waiting for Mo Ling to make a move, Xia Xuan had already waved his hand, and a wave of spiritual energy s drew lines on the barrier. Soon after, a large hole appeared on the barrier.

    Seeing this scene, the disciples were all confused. The way to remove the God-Slaying Manor''s Mansion Barrier was only known to the people of the Palace. Why does this Xia Xuan look so proficient?

    Passing through the protective shield, when Xia Xuan saw the scene inside the protective shield, the brow creased its eyebrows. The current God-Slaying Manor was still the same as before, with blood colored constructs that were arranged in an array formation.

    It was still the same God-Slaying Manor as before, but there were very few people currently in the God-Slaying Manor, and people would occasionally walk around the palace, but they all looked listless, and did not have the Blood Qi that God-Slaying Manor disciples should have.

    Seeing this situation, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but crease his eyebrows, the current God-Slaying Manor was simply too destitute.

    "Sigh, ever since you fell, there have not been many people who have joined the God-Slaying Manor. The current God-Slaying Manor must thank the heavens and earth to have so many people." Mo Ling sighed. His voice was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

    Chapter 241 - Left and Right Elders (1)

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan let out a cold snort, and then flew to the ground. The direction that Xia Xuan flew to was not towards any other direction, but towards the most central building of the God-Slaying Manor, which was the meeting place of the various great clan elders of the God-Slaying Manor.

    Just as he landed on the ground, Xia Xuan saw a few people slowly walking over. The leader of this group was a handsome man, but there was a dark shadow concealed within. The man didn''t look like a disciple of the Divine General''s estate, but rather like a pampered young master from a wealthy family.

    "Yo, we managed to recruit so many people this year, but don''t you know the newbie report isn''t here?" If you don''t understand the rules, then you''ll be criticized. " The leader of those people had a smile on his face. He walked over and wanted to attack.

    Xia Xuan''s eyes flashed coldly, then the spiritual energy condensed in his hand and instantly punched the man. The man with Grade Five Mysterious Sect was immediately sent flying.

    When the people accompanying the man saw that the man had been sent flying, they immediately ran over to help him up.

    The man was lifted up and felt something in his mouth. When he spat it out, he realized it was his teeth.

    "You." The anger on the man''s face flared up and he pointed at Mo Ling as he said, "Elder Mo, quickly take care of this new disciple. We cannot be careless."

    Xia Xuan could not help but frown, were all God-Slaying Manor s right in front of their disciples and give orders to their elders?

    "Lang Hu, you''ve stirred up a lot of trouble this time." Mo Ling admitted that he would not make a move against Xia Xuan. He pointed at the man, and the tone of his voice contained a sense of not being able to meet expectations.

    "Hmph, if you don''t make a move, then I will bring my disciples to leave this palace today and see how your God-Slaying Manor will continue to exist when that time comes." The man named Lang Hu started to threaten Mo Ling. However, when Mo Ling heard these words, a bitter expression surfaced on his face.

    "Humph!" Xia Xuan coldly snorted, and then said, "From today onwards, you will be removed from the God-Slaying Manor."

    Being removed from the Palace was different from being removed. After leaving the Palace, one could join the other Divine General Palaces, but after being removed from the Palaces, they wouldn''t even have the qualifications to join the other Divine General Palaces.

    "What qualifications do you have to remove me from the list?" Lang Hu gritted his teeth and said.

    "Elder Mo, what are you hesitating for?" Xia Xuan tilted his head and said to Mo Ling.

    With Xia Xuan''s order, Mo Ling finally no longer hesitated. His body could not help but straighten a little as his face became filled with dignity. He said to Lang Hu, "From today onwards, Eldest Disciple Lang Hu will be removed from Deicide Academy."

    Mo Ling''s voice was wrapped by the spiritual energy and spread throughout the entire God-Slaying Manor. He was announcing to all the people in the God-Slaying Manor that Lang Hu would be removed from the list.

    "I am the chief disciple, and elders have no right to remove me from the list." At first, Lang Hu''s face was filled with shock, but soon after, it became incomparably malevolent.

    "According to the rules of the manor, when the Lord is not present, the Ten Grandmasters shall have equal rights with the Lord." Xia Xuan sneered, with one glance, he knew that this Lang Hu had not even finished reading the rules.

    Lang Hu was speechless. He gritted his teeth and stared at Xia Xuan and Mo Ling fiercely. After a long while, he said, "Just you guys wait.

    With that, the man flung his elegant robe and left in a rage with his lackeys.

    "The current God-Slaying Manor is truly unbecoming." Xia Xuan''s voice was filled with anger, he had single-handedly created the God-Slaying Manor, and now that it had turned out like this, anyone would feel a chill in their heart.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards a building not too far away, and walked towards it.

    Not long after, Xia Xuan and the others arrived at the destination. This was the most unremarkable building in the entire Palace, but this place was the center of the entire God-Slaying Manor. Any major matters related to the life and death of the God-Slaying Manor were decided from here.

    "I''ve already sent a sound transmission to inform the other Elders." Mo Ling whispered into Xia Xuan''s ear.

    "Which two factions are the God-Slaying Manor now?" Xia Xuan asked.

    "The Right Clan Elder led a portion of clan elders and insisted on not merging. The Left Clan Elder led a large portion of clan elders and insisted on merging with the Evil God Manor." Mo Ling used a simple sentence to explain the current situation of the God-Slaying Manor. Even though it was simple, it was enough to say that the current God-Slaying Manor was like a pile of loose sand.

    Hearing Mo Ling''s words, Xia Xuan pinched his chin with one hand and thought deeply with his head lowered. He was the second and third eldest out of the ten elders, a pair of brothers with extraordinary strength. If they were to go to the The Divine Realm, they would definitely be terrifying experts at the Divine Master level.

 C242

    Chapter 242 - Left and Right Elders (2)

    "Elder Mo, why did you gather us here?" A powerful voice sounded out. After which, numerous figures appeared beside Mo Ling. The three of them were all Old Man, led by the tall and big Old Man. Old Man had a head full of explosive black hair, and more than half of his face was covered by a thick beard.

    "Right Elder, it''s time to trim your beard." Before Mo Ling could say anything, Xia Xuan had already spoken out.

    The right Clan Elder looked at Xia Xuan and could not help but frowned. If it was any other person who dared to speak to him in such a manner, they would definitely be reprimanded. However, for some reason, this Teenage gave him a familiar feeling.

    "Who are you?" The Right Elder asked.

    "It''s been ten thousand years. Do you still remember this item?" Xia Xuan laughed and took out a Token. It was the Token that Xia Xuan had showed to Mo Ling back then.

    "My lord." Almost the same reaction as Mo Ling, the Right Elder and the other two elders fell to their knees. Their voices were filled with respect and excitement.

    "Get up." Xia Xuan hurriedly helped the three of them up. For the past tens of thousands of years, they had still been able to persevere to protect the God-Slaying Manor. The three in front of him were people that Xia Xuan truly believed in.

    "Where''s the Great Elder?" Among the ten great clan elders, there was also a Great Clan Elder. That Elder could be said to be somewhat related to Xia Xuan, and out of everyone here, the Great Clan Elder was the one Xia Xuan trusted the most.

    "A thousand years ago, the God-Slaying Manor was faced with a great calamity, it was all thanks to the Great Clan Elder. However, because of this, he fell into a spatial turbulence, and for the past thousand years his life lamp has been lit up faintly. As he spoke, the right elder clenched his fist.

    "What''s the situation today? Why did you gather us here?" Just then, another vigorous voice sounded out, and when Xia Xuan looked towards the direction of the voice, he saw that not far away in the sky, five figures were slowly flying over. The five of them were also Old Man, and the one in the lead was the same as the Right Clan Elder, only that his hair and beard were all fiery red.

    "Elder Zuo." Xia Xuan stared at the red-haired Old Man, with killing intent in his eyes and a gloomy expression.

    The left clan elder also noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze and immediately frowned towards Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan gave him a familiar feeling, he was not as cautious as the right clan elder, and angrily said: "Brat, do you know how much of a crime it is for me to reveal my killing intent?"

    Xia Xuan did not take out another Token. Instead, he let out a cold laugh, and looked at the huge God-Slaying Manor.

    "Brat, don''t think that just because you have a Token that you can prove that you are my lord. Today, I will present you to Lord evil god." After that, an indescribably huge spiritual energy was used from within his body. The powerful killing intent simply suppressed the current Xia Xuan to the point where he could not even breathe.

    "How dare you!" The right clan elder was also enraged, seeing the Token was equivalent to seeing the Deicide, but now, the left clan elder''s actions could only mean one thing, the left clan elder was betraying the God-Slaying Manor.

    The left elder did not fear the right elder in the slightest. With a smile on his face, he rushed towards the right elder.

    Besides the left and right elders, the strength of the rest of the ten elders were about the same. Besides, the left and right elders only had five people on their side.

    The left and right clan elders immediately clashed, the other clan elders did the same, but on the left side, there was an extra person. That person did not have any intention to fight, he looked at Xia Xuan with a playful smile.

    "Elder Feng, hurry." Patriarch Zuo, who had also been pestering the elder on the right, suddenly shouted.

    When the right clan elder heard him, he knew what the left clan elder was planning to do, he wanted to rush forward to protect Xia Xuan, but before he could move, the left clan elder had blocked his path.

    "Tch, traitor, you will die a horrible death." The right senior elder cursed and started to attack the left senior elder crazily. The right senior elder''s strength was already slightly higher than the left senior elder''s. Facing the right senior elder''s storm-like attack, it was hard to defend against.

    The person called Clan Elder Feng also understood the urgency of the situation and immediately retracted his smile. A wave of spiritual energy s burst out from his body and he instantly appeared in front of Xia Xuan.

    Just as Clan Elder Feng was preparing to finish Xia Xuan''s life, a ray of blood light suddenly erupted from Xia Xuan''s body, after that, Xue Er rushed towards Clan Elder Feng, Xue Er''s lily-white hand directly turned into a blade, aimed straight for Clan Elder Feng''s throat.

    Facing the divine instrument''s attack, even Elder Feng did not dare to underestimate it, and immediately dodged Xue Er''s attack. And it was also at this time, that the flamethrower had already turned into a Small Flood Dragon and bit onto Elder Feng''s hand.

    "Ah!" Elder Feng cried out in pain, and quickly let go of Xia Xuan''s neck. Just as he was about to attack the flamethrower, Wang Hao held onto the Flame Sun Knife, and rushed towards him. Naturally, Elder Feng was not afraid of Wang Hao, but the sharpness of the Flame Sun Knife was something he absolutely did not dare to receive. He immediately flung the flamethrower away and activated the spiritual energy to receive Wang Hao''s attack.

    Although he had Flame Sun Knife s, Wang Hao was still just a Xuanzun after all. When he clashed with Elder Feng, he could no longer withstand the immense power and was immediately sent flying.

    After removing the obstruction, Elder Feng immediately turned his gaze towards Xia Xuan, only to see him standing in the air with his binocular still shut.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan opened his eyes and his Qi changed drastically. The Qi contained an endless killing intent and also the aura of a king among the soldiers, at the same time, Xia Xuan was being possessed by both the Deicide''s and the Soldier King''s souls.

    "Kid, hurry up, I can''t hold on much longer." Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong was struggling to circulate the spiritual energy. To make two completely different kinds of soul attach onto the same person at the same time, even Peng Hong could not sustain it for long.

    "Alright, I will soon let these traitors know what regret is." Xia Xuan said in a low voice, then a burst of killing intent burst out from his body. Although the strength of the two Great God s, Xia Xuan, was still incomparable to Elder Feng, his imposing manner was already powerful enough to reach the sky.

 C243

    Chapter 243 - Prudence

    Elder Feng naturally knew what trump card Xia Xuan was using, and his figure immediately appeared in front of Xia Xuan in a flash. The spiritual energy condensed in his hands and was about to attack Xia Xuan, not giving Xia Xuan the slightest chance to use his trump card.

    Although the current Xia Xuan''s strength was still far from that of Elder Feng''s, he was still able to keep up with his speed. Seeing that Elder Feng wanted to attack, Xia Xuan waved his hand and the power of space surged out. When Elder Feng''s hand collided with the power of space, his hand was immediately distorted by the power of space.

    Elder Feng was shocked and immediately retracted his hand. However, he still felt a sharp pain in his palm.

    With this pause, Xia Xuan immediately moved his body, but his target was not Clan Elder Feng, instead, it was the westernmost area of the God-Slaying Manor.

    Everyone has their own reasons for doing things. Xia Xuan would definitely run over there for some reason.

    Without the slightest hesitation, he only saw Elder Feng chasing after Xia Xuan, and with Elder Feng''s speed, he could catch up to Xia Xuan in an instant. Seeing that Elder Feng had already appeared behind Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan suddenly turned around, and the spiritual energy condensed into a large knife, directly striking towards Elder Feng.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan actually wanted to counterattack him, Elder Feng snorted coldly, and directly threw a fist at the large knife. Although Xia Xuan''s spiritual energy congealed to a degree that far exceeded that of an ordinary person, it was still too far away from Elder Feng''s. The large knife had just touched Elder Feng''s fist, and immediately broke apart.

    "Bang." Being hit by Clan Elder Feng''s fist, Xia Xuan''s entire body flew backwards.

    The attack hit, but there was no smile on Elder Feng''s face. Instead, he covered his hands with a face full of surprise.

    Xia Xuan who was sent flying immediately flew towards the west, and at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor, he flew across the sky, straight to the extreme west of God-Slaying Manor.

    "Master, your cultivation is too low right now, so I can only help you take this hit." The voice of the Zhenghu blood armor rang out, and then the blood light on Xia Xuan''s body flickered for a while before fading away.

    "You''ve worked hard." Xia Xuan said, then turned his gaze towards the far west, only to see a gigantic stone statue standing, although it was a stone statue, but its imposing manner was similar to that of a living being. The most important thing was that the stone statue looked exactly like Xia Xuan, and was actually Xia Xuan''s statue.

    Xia Xuan activated his spiritual energy once again and rushed towards the stone statue. With Deicide''s caution, other than Wang Hao and the other brothers, it was impossible for him to trust anyone else. When Xia Xuan had gathered the ten thousand years ago, he had already been on guard against them since long ago.

    Using spiritual energy s, Xia Xuan rushed straight to the stone statue, and then used spiritual energy s to draw lines of rune s on the stone statue.

    Xia Xuan''s speed was extremely fast, almost as if he slashed on the stone statue, an array formation was already drawn on the stone statue.

    After drawing the array, Xia Xuan immediately pushed it towards the stone statue, but when his hand touched the stone statue, it fused with the stone statue.

    At this time, Elder Feng had already arrived. spiritual energy congealed in his hand and was about to grab Xia Xuan. Seeing that Elder Feng''s helper was about to hit Xia Xuan, a large hand suddenly came out from the space to the side and grabbed onto Elder Feng''s hand.

    The big hand that suddenly appeared startled Clan Elder Feng, but at the same time he blocked it. In that moment, Xia Xuan took out his hand from the stone statue, and in Xia Xuan''s hand, there was an additional object. After taking the jade Xiao, Xia Xuan immediately put it into his mouth, and then, a melodious flute tune sounded out.

    With the sound of the flute, the struggling Elder Feng suddenly stopped moving. His eyes lost their luster, and he looked like a zombie.

    Summoning out the seed in Elder Feng''s body, Xia Xuan looked at the hand that stretched out from the rushing space. Thanks to this person''s help, Xia Xuan was able to successfully activate the seed in Elder Feng''s body.

    The space tunnel was ripped apart, and a person walked out from within it. That figure was none other than Xue Qing.

    "Thank you very much." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and thanked Xue Qing.

    "Of course." Xue Qing bowed in return, and then said, "Little Shuang''s injuries have already stabilized. I believe it won''t be long before she recovers."

    Hearing Xue Qing''s words, the worry in Xia Xuan''s heart was finally lifted. If something were to happen to Yan Shuang, he really couldn''t guarantee that The Divine Realm would continue to exist.

    "Is your God-Slaying Manor going to reorganize itself?" Xue Qing asked.

    "It''s time to clean up." Xia Xuan said, then turned his gaze to the center of the God-Slaying Manor, where a wave of spiritual energy was spreading. The disciples of the other God-Slaying Manor s all quickly escaped.

    "Elder Zuo." Xia Xuan clenched his teeth and recited. Afterwards, he directly controlled the spiritual energy and flew towards the battlefield.

    He thought that with the current Xia Xuan''s strength, even if he had any tricks up his sleeve, he would still not be able to use it. However, Xue Qing''s sudden appearance had disrupted his plans.

    The left elder suddenly released a wave of spiritual energy and directly pushed the right elder away. He then directly tore a space tunnel apart, entered it and left.

    When Xia Xuan arrived, he just happened to see the space tunnel slowly closing in, but at this time, the others were a little embarrassed. The Left Clan Elder had the ability to escape, but they did not, so the group of four gave up on resisting.

    After tying up the four elders, Xia Xuan stood in front of the four of them with a smile on his face. He asked the four of them, "Did you guys get bribed by the evil god long ago?"

    The four of them lowered their heads and remained silent. Seeing the situation, Xia Xuan knew the answer.

    "What a great evil god, I will remember this debt." Xia Xuan said fiercely, and his gaze could not help but look towards the distant horizon. Where did all the evil people of the Mainland come from, and where was the Evil God Manor?

    "What should we do with these four?" The right clan elder whispered into Xia Xuan''s ears.

    "What''s the use of keeping it? Kill it." Xia Xuan said angrily, back then he had trusted them so much, but once he had fallen, they had all pledged their allegiance to the Evil God Manor, which truly made his heart feel cold.

    "But, with the situation in God-Slaying Manor now, without so many elders, I''m afraid." The Right Elder didn''t say it clearly, but the meaning in his words were very clear.

    "No need, I can look for more elders." Xia Xuan snorted angrily, then flung his sleeves and spoke to Xue Qing, "Elder Xue Qing, take me to Time Mansion, I want to see Shuang''er."

    "Yes." Xue Qing promised, then immediately tore out a space tunnel and left with Xia Xuan.

    "Sigh, why must all of you do such a thing?" The right clan elder sighed and started operating the spiritual energy.

    On the second day, the heads of the four elders hung from the God-Slaying Manor, causing the entire God-Slaying Manor to be extremely shocked.

 C244

    Chapter 244 - Shrine (1)

    Xia Xuan returned after seeing Yan Shuang. Upon returning to God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan ordered the Right Clan Elder to temporarily immigrate all the disciples of God-Slaying Manor.

    Within the God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan looked at the disciples who were leaving, and a grave expression appeared on his face.

    "It''s all transferred." The Right Clan Elder appeared beside Xia Xuan and respectfully said.

    "Mm, you can leave as well." Xia Xuan nodded and said.

    "Yes." "Yes." The right clan elder agreed, casually ripping out a space tunnel, directly entering it and leaving.

    At this moment, the God-Slaying Manor was completely silent. Not only the person, even the spirit beast was brought away.

    "Let''s begin." Xia Xuan used the spiritual energy to wrap his voice, the sound spreading throughout the entire God-Slaying Manor, and then at the six closest locations of the God-Slaying Manor, Wang Hao and the other three started to circulate their spiritual energy, forming profound seals one after another, causing the spiritual energy in the area to become restless.

    The buildings of the God-Slaying Manor suddenly began to emit dazzling light, and then the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy began to revolve far away in a regular pattern. Following the circulation of the spiritual energy, the entire God-Slaying Manor started to shake. Following that, six pillars of light appeared in the six directions where Wang Hao and the rest were.

    If one were to look at it from close up, they would be able to see that what was in the light pillar was actually a chair.

    Of course, this was not some ordinary chair. It seemed to be made of wood, iron and iron, and there was no way of knowing what material it was made of. Although it was a chair, it emitted a shocking majesty, as if it was the seat of heaven and earth.

    Wang Hao and the rest of the six directly sat on the chairs, and then the spiritual energy began to condense on their faces to form the armor. With the aura from the chair, the six of them were like heaven and earth divine generals.

    The six pillars of light shot out a pillar of light at the same time. The target of the six pillars of light was none other than Xia Xuan himself. When the six pillars of light converged, an even more dazzling pillar of light burst out from underground.

    Following the appearance of the blood-colored dragon throne, the aura that had pervaded the God-Slaying Manor began to tremble. It was as if a lower being had felt the pressure of a higher being, and was actually terrified.

    Seeing the blood dragon throne, the Zhenghu blood armor on Xia Xuan''s body immediately shone with light. Although Xia Xuan''s cultivation was too low to unleash the power of the Blood Tiger Armor, with the appearance of the blood dragon throne, the Zhenghu blood armor seemed to have gained power.

    Wearing a Zhenghu blood armor, with a flamethrower in hand, Xia Xuan who was enveloped by the light rays of the blood armor looked like a Deicide, he looked to be in high spirits.

    Xia Xuan stepped into the air and walked towards the blood dragon throne. Every time he took a step, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy would tremble for a while, and in the end, when Xia Xuan sat on the blood dragon throne, the heaven and earth spiritual energy suddenly started to flow erratically.

    There were a total of seven pillars of light, a total of seven chairs. These seven chairs were all not ordinary chairs, and the people of the world would always go through so much trouble to find these chairs in all of Mainland, people call them Shrine s.

    Sitting on the Shrine, Xia Xuan closed his eyes and a scene appeared in his mind. It was ten thousand years ago, when Yu Ran, Wang Hao and the others, who were still in Homo sapiens, had become gods.

    In the Human Realm, Yu Ran and the other eight Great God s had chosen their respective locations. The group of eight people stood ten thousand meters in the air, looking down at the swiftly constructed Eight Great God Palace.

    Deicide raised his right hand, and in his hand was an object that floated. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that that object was indeed Shrine, only that this Shrine had shrunk many times, to become a mini Shrine.

    "I plan to leave Shrine in the Palace." Deicide suddenly said.

    "Me too, but I don''t plan to stay in my own residence, I want to leave my Shrine in God-Slaying Manor." The God of Flames suddenly said.

    The Deicide was shocked and quickly said: "Why did you release him in my residence?"

    "Although we have already gone up to the Divine General level, no one can guarantee that we won''t accidentally fall. With the Shrine, even if any of us fall, we can still reunite." God of Wisdom suddenly said.

    "You can let your own family do that. Do you know that if you let my family''s Shrine s go, their power will be weakened?" Deicide became even more anxious, and the sound of his voice could be heard his emotions at the moment.

 C245

    Chapter 245 - Shrine (2)

    "But your Shrine''s power will increase, won''t it?" Pluto patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder, and laughed.

    "What nonsense! What do I want this power for?" Xia Xuan shouted in anger.

    "Do you think we only want to give you strength, it''s just that we can''t find those ten loyal elders of yours, if one day we fall and the Shrine is obtained by the elders of our own residence, wouldn''t that mean we''d cry to death?" The Feather God said arrogantly as he hugged the bear with both hands.

    Deicide finally understood and immediately calmed his emotions. He looked at his brothers with eyes full of gratitude. These brothers, no matter what happened, were closer than inviting brothers.

    Once his thoughts recovered, Xia Xuan opened his eyes and quickly formed a seal with his hands. The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy started to undulate, and countless of breaths came out from the ground, becoming dense and quickly turning the entire air of God-Slaying Manor red. From the outside, the entire God-Slaying Manor looked like a huge ball of blood.

    Although they had left these Shrine here, this did not mean that they could directly take back the Shrine. If they did not have the strength to take back their own people, even if they were their masters in their previous life, the Shrine would not accept them.

    The spiritual energy came from nowhere and continuously poured out of Xia Xuan''s body, filling his muscles and veins.

    Although they had only received Shrine at the beginning, the pain that the seven of them had to endure was not something an ordinary person could endure. At this time, Xia Xuan''s fingernails had already penetrated deep into his palms, but he himself did not sense it in the slightest.

    Although the spiritual energy had long filled their bodies, they still poured into their bodies. Who knew where those spiritual energy had gone to.

    Spirit was not only because they were very strong, but also because they had Shrine s. Only by obtaining Shrine s, would they be able to become true Gods, and when acquiring Shrine s, they would be able to transform a person''s body. It could be said that even the body of the weakest God would be tougher than any Profound Emperor.

    Inside Xia Xuan''s body, an earth-shattering change was happening. The Peng Peng Hong who was in Xia Xuan''s body could clearly see that Xia Xuan''s bones were undergoing an earth-shattering change, even he who was outside of the Six Paths couldn''t help but be extremely shocked when he saw the change in Xia Xuan''s body.

    The change in his physique started from the bones. Although he could not see it from the outside, Peng Hong, who was inside Xia Xuan''s dantian, could see that Xia Xuan''s bones were currently emitting a rainbow light. Xia Xuan was undergoing a miraculous change.

    From the outside, Xia Xuan simply did not have the dignity of a Deicide. He clenched his teeth, his forehead was covered in perspiration, and the veins on his face were constantly squirming like earthworms, making him look extremely sinister. The pain was not at all scary, but at the moment, Xia Xuan did not feel any pain. He felt that there were tens of thousands of ants crawling all over his body.

    Whether or not Xia Xuan''s body was convulsing, blood had already flowed out from the gingiva''s tightly clenched teeth.

    When he shouted, a wave of spiritual energy surged out of his body. However, after he shouted, the next thing that followed was an even more intense itch. The feeling of tens of thousands of ants crawling in his bones was definitely the biggest nightmare for Xia Xuan.

    Inside Xia Xuan''s body, Peng Hong was constantly observing the changes that had occurred in his body. Although he clearly knew that Xia Xuan had a high chance of successfully taking Shrine in, he was still very worried, because the future of this world was already shouldered by Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan could not afford to let even the slightest mistake happen to him.

    The bones quickly turned into seven colors, and the following changes included the tendons and veins. With a person''s bones as a beam, the tendons and veins would inevitably become major doors and windows. If the bones could support a person and not collapse, the tendons and veins would improve, allowing the cultivation to increase by leaps and bounds.

    The change in his tendons and bones was not the least bit affected by the change. As his tendons and veins started to change, was biting so hard that cracks started to appear on his teeth. Xia Xuan was about to grind his teeth to pieces.

    "Endure it." Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong clenched his fists nervously. If he could not help in any way, he would have already helped.

    Amongst the God-Slaying Manor, six of the seven pillars of light broke through his barrier at the same time, and the light shot up into the sky, as though it wanted to break through the heavens. However, in the end, the six pillars of light dimmed down, as if they had attracted the majority of the attention of the people, and all of the people in the various Great God Palaces had their gazes on the God-Slaying Manor s.

    "Master?" Amongst the numerous Divine General Palaces, there was a Divine General''s estate called the Furious Flame Mansion. A red-haired Old Man looked in the direction of the God-Slaying Manor and could not help but mutter to himself.

    "This commotion is a bit too big. Should we deal with it?" The most imposing person in all of the Divine General Palaces was the The Divine King''s Mansion. Within the The Divine King''s Mansion, two Old Man s stood in the air and looked in the direction of the God-Slaying Manor.

    "No, it''s not convenient to act against the God-Slaying Manor here. Not only are the other Divine General Palaces keeping an eye on them, there are also the greatest threats to the The Divine Realm." Another Old Man waved his hand and looked towards the distant horizon. That was the Infernal domain!

    Inside the God-Slaying Manor, Wang Hao and the rest had already put away their Shrine, and quietly looked at Xia Xuan who was still in the midst of cultivation.

    "It''s been so long, why hasn''t he recovered yet?" Wang Hao stomped his feet back and forth, his face filled with anxiety.

    "No, his aura is increasing. He wants to seize the opportunity and break through to the Xuanhuang." Wu Zhi who was the most quick-witted among them noticed that something was amiss and immediately replied.

    "What!" When the others heard this, they were greatly shocked. To be able to break through in the Shrine, this was perhaps the craziest thing they had ever heard.

    Although the Shrine was originally Xia Xuan''s, this did not mean that he could definitely acquire the Shrine. Breaking through cultivation at this time, if it was anyone else, that person would be courting death.

    "Don''t worry, he won''t do something that he isn''t confident in." Shangguan Zelong looked in the direction of Xia Xuan with a serious expression.

    Chapter 246 - Breakthrough (1)

    In the middle of the pillar of light, Xia Xuan was still sitting on the Shrine, but he did not look like he was sitting down at all.

    After approximately six more hours passed, Xia Xuan''s body stopped changing. However, the spiritual energy still steadily flowed into his body, and every time the spiritual energy circulated further in his veins, it would be compressed by a bit.

    Xia Xuan was preparing his foundation, he did not wish for his current cultivation level to increase too quickly, if possible, he wanted to complete his foundation as fast as possible, and that was to prepare for the future.

    After being compressed hundreds and thousands of times, the strength of the spiritual energy in Xia Xuan''s body had long surpassed the level of what a Mystical King should have. Even though his body was already filled with spiritual energy, the spiritual energy still poured endlessly into his body.

    With Xia Xuan''s talent, he could have broken through the barrier of the Mystical King long ago. It was just that every night when he was training, he would intentionally compress and compress the spiritual energy.

    But the situation now was different, the Shrine would provide him with enough spiritual energy, so ordinary people would only dare let the spiritual energy forge their own bodies. As for the person who took the opportunity to break through after obtaining the Shrine, Xia Xuan was the first person in the entire Mainland to do so in tens of thousands of years.

    However, for Xia Xuan, success was only a matter of time. When he was enduring the immense pain, he only had one thought in his mind, Celestial King.

    As he thought about the Celestial King, a wave of energy surged out from an unknown place. Soon after, he heard a sound like glass shattering, Xia Xuan''s Qi also rapidly climbed, it was a qualitative change, Mystical King and Xuanhuang were two completely different concepts, in front of a Xuanhuang Ranker, even four to five Mystical King s were not his opponents.

    Xia Xuan slowly opened his binocular. A glint flashed across his eyes, and then, he looked as if he had become somewhat wiser.

    Clutching his hands, Xia Xuan could not help but reveal a smile as he felt the abundant strength in his body. When he became a god once again, the whole The Divine Realm would be flipped upside down.

    "Congratulations, you punk, you''ve finally reached the Xuanhuang." Unknowingly, Wang Hao and the rest had already rushed over, the six of them clapped and said to Xia Xuan.

    "Are you trying to hit me?" Xia Xuan rolled his eyes at Wang Hao, believing that it wouldn''t be long before Wang Hao''s group would be able to break through the Xuanzun and reach the level of Mysterious Sect. Even though Xia Xuan had always been working hard, he had only just broken through the Xuanhuang and had not even stabilized the foundation of the Xuanhuang yet.

    "How could that be? Although you are an enemy of cultivation, do you dare to say that any of us here cannot defeat you?" Wang Hao shook his head and said.

    "That sounds good." Xia Xuan rolled his eyes at him once again, then turned his gaze at God-Slaying Manor, and couldn''t help but reveal a hint of desire on his face.

    "Don''t tell me you want to go down?" Seeing Xia Xuan''s expression, Wang Hao hurriedly said.

    "Of course, it''s very magical down there. Are you guys not interested?" Xia Xuan laughed, what said sounded like madness to Wang Hao and the rest.

    The group landed on the ground. Xia Xuan immediately squatted down, with spiritual energy congealed in between his fingers, and then drew a profound formation on the ground.

    "Aren''t you going to wait for the right elder to come back?" A hint of worry actually appeared on Wang Hao''s face.

    "No, I''m afraid there is something down there. If it really hurts the disciples, it would be bad." Xia Xuan shook his head and said.

    "Sigh, in that case, we''ll accompany you." Wang Hao sighed, he patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder, and then the worry on his face completely disappeared, and was replaced with a smile.

    "Yes." Xia Xuan nodded and looked at his six companions, then activated the spiritual energy. The array also released a bright light which enveloped Xia Xuan and the other seven. When the light faded, the seven of them had also disappeared.

    Ten thousand years ago, when Deicide and the others became Divine Generals, when they arrived at the location of the Human Realm''s residences, Deicide accidentally discovered a place filled with aura. No one else had discovered this place, because he had a protective barrier protecting him, so it was impossible to detect the existence of this area from the outside world.

 C247

    Chapter 247 - Breakthrough (2)

    When Deicide unintentionally entered this area, he discovered that there was even a trace of blood in the air, as if it was the blood aura after the deaths of hundreds of people. However, these breaths came from the ground, so Deicide planned to go down to the ground to see what was happening.

    The mysterious thing was that the Deicide soldiers could not enter the underground, as if there was a force that had set up a barrier. With Deicide''s strength, it was impossible for him to break through the barrier, and to enter the underground, he could only do so if he did not open the barrier.

    The scene in front of their eyes changed, Xia Xuan and the rest appeared in another place. It was like a cave, its surroundings were stone walls, a moist air pervaded the air, and they could sense the faint smell of blood in the air.

    Xia Xuan wrinkled his brows, and after determining the direction, he brought Wang Hao and his group towards a particular direction.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan and the rest stopped, a light wall appeared in front of them, they could not see what was inside the light wall, and they did not know what was inside. In their previous life, even Deicide was unable to break this light wall, so they stopped here.

    "It shouldn''t be wrong. This light wall only has a cultivation restriction for those who can pass through, we should be able to enter." With that, Xia Xuan directly walked towards the light wall.

    Xia Xuan''s hand slowly touched the light wall and with a forceful use of his strength, he actually went deep into the light wall. His palm actually passed through the light wall.

    Xia Xuan was overjoyed, his entire person rushing into the light wall, then his entire person passing through.

    "We can really pass through it. You guys can come in too." Xia Xuan said to Wang Hao and the other three.

    Upon seeing this, Wang Hao and the other three were preparing to pass through the light wall, but just as they were about to do so, six bangs sounded out, and the six people all covered their noses.

    The six of them could not pass through the light wall without any obstructions like Xia Xuan. Their situation was just like the Deicide in their previous life, they could not pass through the light wall at all.

    "This ˇ­" Xia Xuan was so embarrassed that he didn''t know what to say. Looking at the six of them who were covering their noses, he didn''t know what to do.

    "Brother, this barrier really has a high requirement for cultivation. Could it be that only the Xuanhuang and pike can enter?" Wang Hao said to Xia Xuan while covering his nose, his voice full of complaints.

    "Yeah, maybe." Xia Xuan replied.

    "In that case, are you still going?" Wang Hao asked worriedly. Even without them following him, he was still a little worried.

    "It''s fine, I must investigate to the end." Xia Xuan laughed, then walked towards the distance. As a Deicide, how could he cower in fear? With this kind of thing that even he did not understand, he would obviously want to investigate it thoroughly.

    Wang Hao and the other six looked at each other and did not say anything else. They found their seats and sat down, waiting for Xia Xuan''s return.

    "You''d better not wait here." Suddenly, an old voice came out, and then, an extremely strange power appeared. Wang Hao and the rest saw darkness before they disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already on the ground, with a ''pu tong'' sound, the six of them smashed into the ground at the same time.

    Underground, Xia Xuan slowly walked forward. He realized that the deeper he went, the thicker the smell of blood in the air, as if he was walking towards a pile of corpses.

    Soon enough, a cave entrance appeared at the end. The cave entrance was emitting an intense light and it was impossible to clearly see what was behind the cave entrance. However, Xia Xuan knew that the things inside were definitely extremely interesting.

    He increased his pace, and very quickly, Xia Xuan arrived in front of the cave. When Xia Xuan walked out of the cave, the strong light stimulated his eyes, causing him to be unable to see what was in front of him for the moment.

    Opening his eyes, Xia Xuan could see clearly what was in front of him. It was an army, an army that was ready to go.

    The leader of the troops was a great general riding a horse. He held a thirty foot long spear in his hand and was clad in heavy armor. It seemed that he was very heavily guarded.

    Xia Xuan stood up straight, he could not even tell that any of the soldiers in front of him had any cultivation.

    "Who is it?" The rider general pointed his spear at Xia Xuan and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

    "I am Xia Xuan, and have accidentally barged into this place. I am very sorry for disturbing you." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said to the general, the strong dragon did not oppress the snake, what''s more, he could not see the cultivation levels of these people.

    "You must understand the rules when you come here. Kill me, and you can pass through here. Otherwise, I''ll kill you." The Great General was not courteous at all, after he finished speaking, he rushed towards Xia Xuan, the spear in his hand pointed straight at Xia Xuan.

 C248

    Chapter 248 - Breakthrough (3)

    Xia Xuan was also shocked. Just as he was about to dodge, he discovered that the great general had already arrived in front of him.

    With regards to the general''s speed, Xia Xuan was also surprised, but it was too late for him to dodge now, the flamethrower immediately appeared in his hands in a flash, the pike and the pike clashed fiercely, and then an astonishing scene happened. Xia Xuan was directly sent flying, smashing straight into a wall, his entire person was usually embedded into the wall.

    The Great General did not give Xia Xuan the chance to catch his breath, with one strike, he gained the upper hand and once again urged his warhorse to charge towards Xia Xuan. Just as he was about to reach Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan suddenly started to revolve his body, the silver snakes started to circulate around him, and he suddenly disappeared.

    In the next moment, Xia Xuan appeared behind the general. The flamethrower activated and directly thrusted towards the back of the general''s head.

    Right now, Xia Xuan had no doubt that the person in front of him was just playing around with him, or else he would have died.

    What was astonishing was that just as the flamethrower pierced out, the general reacted, immediately turning his spear and blocking behind him, the spear just happened to block the flamethrower.

    "You should have done your best." The general said with his hoarse voice, and then the spear shook the flamethrower, causing it to fly out, then the spear swept out towards Xia Xuan.

    Chapter 195: Speed

    The general''s attack was very fast and it was also very powerful. Xia Xuan did not dare to be hit even once. Since he did not dare to take a beating, Xia Xuan could only push his speed to the limit. There were a total of four stages of flash lightning and a third stage for Xia Xuan.

    "Swift Thunder." The two words came out from Xia Xuan''s mouth, and he transformed into a silver white color, as if he was moving, and started to appear one afterimage after another. It looked like the second wave of lightning was not as fast as the first, but that was only on the surface, because the afterimages did not seem to represent Xia Xuan''s position.

    With the sudden burst of speed, the general was no longer able to find Xia Xuan''s position, and quickly looked around in search of where Xia Xuan was.

    Bang! Suddenly, the sound of metal striking rang out. The general felt something pierce into his helmet, but because his helmet was too hard, the Weapons did not have the ability to break it.

    The general''s reaction was extremely fast. The moment he was stabbed, he suddenly turned around and thrusted the spear in his hand towards the person behind him.

    But when the Great General turned around, he discovered that there was no one behind him when he thrust the spear. The thing that pierced him was only a pike formed from spiritual energy, and Xia Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

    The general was still holding on to his spear, but in that moment of pause, Xia Xuan suddenly appeared in front of the general, the flamethrower on top of the general spun, and directly pierced towards the general''s eyes.

    It had to be said that the general was tightly wrapped up, to the point that it was difficult for Xia Xuan to find the location to attack. But no matter how tightly wrapped he was, his eyes could not be hidden.

    The current general had no time to dodge at all. He could only watch helplessly as the pike pierced towards his eyes.

    The flamethrower had successfully pierced through the general''s eye, and immediately pierced through his eye, following that, Xia Xuan''s strength did not decrease, as he planned to directly pierce through the general''s head.

    The general would naturally not let Xia Xuan succeed. He immediately grabbed the flamethrower with one hand and fiercely thrust the spear towards Xia Xuan at the same time.

    The general''s stab was very fierce, directly aimed at Xia Xuan''s heart. One must know that the heart was very weak, if it were to be pierced like that, Xia Xuan''s life would probably be lost here.

    "Hmph, if you have even the slightest intention of retreating, then I will beat you to death." As long as he could grab hold of the opportunity, he would be able to completely suppress his opponent. Like this, as long as Xia Xuan retreated, he would definitely die today.

    As a Deicide, how could Xia Xuan not know about this? He immediately turned to the side and dodged the spear. After that, he loosened his grip on the flamethrower and a wave of spiritual energy condensed in his hand and ruthlessly hammered the flamethrower.

    The flamethrower that was hit pierced the general''s head directly, and the general''s lance also pierced Xia Xuan, but it was only because Xia Xuan dodged to the side and his heart was in it, and the lance pierced through the general''s shoulder, and directly at the same time.

    Chapter 249 - Breakthrough (4)

    The battle between the two was very quick. In just a few flashes, it had only been a few moves, but the outcome of these few moves had already been decided. The general slowly fell from his horse and heavily fell onto the ground.

    Xia Xuan anxiously pulled out his spear, his body could not help but kneel on the ground, using spiritual energy s to cover his wound, slowly using spiritual energy s to heal it.

    Xia Xuan''s eyes were staring straight at the army. Although the general had said that as long as he killed, they would be able to pass through here, but this did not mean that the Soldiers would not take revenge for him.

    Under Xia Xuan''s gaze, those Soldiers s did not move an inch, as if the death of the generals had nothing to do with them.

    Suddenly, under Xia Xuan''s gaze, a black cloaked man appeared in front of the army. The wide black hat covered that man''s face, causing Xia Xuan to not be able to see her appearance.

    When Black Man appeared, he immediately walked towards the great general. He squatted beside the great general and slowly took off the great general''s helmet, revealing his appearance as a great general.

    Seeing the general''s appearance, Xia Xuan was immediately shocked. So it turned out that the general was a woman, the woman''s appearance was originally very delicate and pretty, if she was properly dressed up, she would definitely be a beauty, but unfortunately that hole that penetrated her entire head had destroyed everything.

    "Elder sister." After confirming the general''s words, the Black Man could not help but sigh emotionally. Xia Xuan could clearly hear that it was a woman''s voice, so he guessed that this Black Man was this general''s sister.

    "Stupid sister, you deserve to die so unworthy." Just when Xia Xuan was on high alert to prevent the Black Man from avenging her sister at any time, the words that the Black Man said caused his to be stunned.

    Black Man raised his head and looked at Xia Xuan. Because Black Man was currently squatting down, Xia Xuan could see half of his face, and although he couldn''t see a woman''s appearance, her snow-like skin and exquisite chin still told Xia Xuan that if the Black Man in front of him wasn''t a beauty, then he wouldn''t love women anymore.

    "You''re the one who killed my sister?" The Black Man asked Xia Xuan.

    "Yes, she said that only by killing her can we pass through here." Xia Xuan nodded and said.

    The Black Man didn''t say anything else as he walked over to Xia Xuan''s side and took out a bottle of medicament. The Black Man immediately poured the medicament onto Xia Xuan''s shoulder and Xia Xuan''s injuries began to heal at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

    "Let''s go." Black Man waved his hand and walked towards the army. When the army saw her walk over, they very consciously made way for her.

    Xia Xuan looked at Black Man''s back figure, and followed along vigilantly.

    Walking in the middle of the army, Xia Xuan''s gaze couldn''t help but scan the Soldiers''s face. But when he looked at the faces of the Soldiers s, he discovered that they all had the same characteristic, that there wasn''t any expression on their faces.

    He could not help but increase his pace, and very quickly, Xia Xuan passed by the army, but what appeared in front of him was a field of corpses, and now Black Man was stepping on them as he walked.

    "This, it can''t all be people who accidentally barged in, right?" Xia Xuan''s mouth was wide open, there were unexpectedly too many people who barged in.

    Xia Xuan looked in the direction of the Black Man and coincidentally saw the Black Man tilting his head.

    Xia Xuan could not help but shiver in fear, he straightened his body and followed along.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan followed Black Man to the destination, and what appeared in front of him was a city that was unimaginably huge. Even with Xia Xuan''s eyesight, he was unable to see the end of the city, but from the center of the city, there was still an endless amount of aura surging outwards.

    "Welcome to the Underworld. From now on, you are a member here. If you perform well, the King of Hell may meet you once." The Black Man opened his arms and shouted. His voice contained a hint of madness!

    Xia Xuan followed the Black Man into the city. Although they had not entered the city yet, they could already see the pedestrians, it was just that these pedestrians were not walking normally, there would be a few people fighting from time to time, and all of them were fighting with their lives on the line. Even the people around them would be affected.

    The people that were affected by the explosion did not have a good temper, they immediately joined the battle, causing the scene to become extremely chaotic, causing Xia Xuan to anxiously dodge.

    "Don''t be afraid, they won''t dare to hit us." Black Man looked at Xia Xuan and said.

    Xia Xuan followed behind Black Man dubiously. After a long time, Xia Xuan realised that no matter how fierce the fights were, they would not affect him and Black Man, as if he could not see them.

    "I am Luo Ye, a manager of this city. As long as I am by your side, no one will dare hurt you." Black Man suddenly said.

    "Oh." Xia Xuan agreed, then quietly followed Luo Ye, but he would occasionally look at the people fighting, and surprisingly, Xia Xuan could not see anyone''s cultivation, and their fighting sounds were not small either, it could be said that any one of them was enough to make Xia Xuan feel humiliated.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan followed Luo Ye to the City Lord''s Mansion, entering the city Xia Xuan was even more surprised, the chaos in the city compared to the outside world was far more chaotic, after they had only walked a few steps, Xia Xuan saw two groups of people fighting with real weapons, with broken limbs flying everywhere, blood flowing everywhere, wails continuously.

    Seeing each of them fall, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but look at Luo Ye. Wasn''t this person in charge?

    "This is the underworld, we are not the ones in charge of this war. We are in charge of the aftermath, as long as we do not destroy this city." Luo Ye seemed to know what Xia Xuan was thinking. He turned around and said to Xia Xuan, "Also, you can''t leave until you''re here. There is indeed a way to leave, but you have to find it for yourself."

    Xia Xuan was shocked. He still had other things to do, how could he stay here?

    Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Xuan turned and ran back towards the road he came from, the silver snake on his body flickered, and Xia Xuan quickly returned to the front of the army. However, right now, there was another red helmets general in front of the army, the general and all the Soldiers s were all ready, if Xia Xuan acted rashly, the army would probably stomp him into meat paste.

    "Just accept your fate, any one of the Soldiers here can torture you to death." It was unknown when Luo Ye had arrived at Xia Xuan''s side, but his voice contained a hint of ridicule.

    "Obediently return with me." Luo Ye said this, then turned and walked in the direction of the city, no longer paying attention to Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan swallowed his Saliva. He could feel that the army in front of him could really turn him into minced meat in an instant.

    With no other choice, Xia Xuan could only follow Luo Ye back. Since Luo Ye had already said it before, there was still a way to leave, but he needed to find it himself.

    Returning to the city, Xia Xuan once again found himself in a chaotic situation with a group of people fighting in a chaotic manner every once in a while. When he turned around, he saw a man and a woman lingering by the side of the road.

    Following Luo Ye, Xia Xuan came to the front of a small hut and heard him say: "From now on, this is your home. If you want to leave, then go find a way yourself." With that, Luo Ye suddenly disappeared, not giving Xia Xuan the chance to speak.

 C250

    Chapter 250 - Madness (1)

    Looking at the place where Luo Ye had disappeared from, Xia Xuan was startled, then turned and walked towards his own house, just as he was about to turn around, he saw a group of people holding torches, already starting to burn his house.

    Xia Xuan was shocked, he hurried forward to stop it, but before he could do so, they had already lit the house ablaze. At the same time, they urged the spiritual energy to increase the intensity of the fire, and in the blink of an eye, the house was completely set ablaze.

    Xia Xuan immediately used his spiritual energy to wrap the entire house. With no air, the fire quickly grew smaller, but the house was almost burnt up.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the people who were burning his house. He saw that they were still cheering excitedly and happily, causing the fury in his heart to grow even stronger.

    The flamethrower appeared in his hands in an instant and it scurried around his body. In a flash, Xia Xuan appeared in front of one of them.

    Just as the flamethrower''s spear tip was less than a centimeter away from the person''s throat, two fingers pinched the spear tip, causing the flamethrower to be unable to move an inch forward.

    Xia Xuan was shocked, he never thought that these people would be so strong, he had just randomly picked a seemingly weak person to attack, in the end he could easily block his attack with two fingers.

    No matter how hard Xia Xuan tried to pull the flamethrower back, it was to no avail. Right at this moment, two ghostly figures appeared behind Xia Xuan''s back, releasing a burst of killing intent. Xia Xuan''s back couldn''t help but shiver.

    Helpless, Xia Xuan released the flamethrower and appeared not far away in a flash. Just as he wanted to carefully look at the two people who tried to ambush him, he realized that there was no one around him.

    There was no time to dodge, so Xia Xuan anxiously turned around, and just as he turned around, two fists struck his chest, causing him to fly out, directly smashing into dozens of houses.

    After struggling to climb out from the ruins, Xia Xuan felt unbearable pain all over his body. However, when he raised his head, he no longer cared about the pain. From the houses that Xia Xuan had destroyed, many figures walked out, each and every one of them were burly and sturdy men with extremely vicious appearances, as though all of their eyes were red from anger.

    At this time, even Xia Xuan felt a little afraid. In this world, he seemed to be the weakest, any person could beat him up 50 times.

    Cold sweat trickled down Xia Xuan''s forehead, but in the next moment, Xia Xuan was stunned. The people who had their houses destroyed walked over to the people who destroyed Xia Xuan''s house, and started fighting the people who did not know what was going on.

    Just when Xia Xuan thought that he had escaped danger, a man with a binocular walked over. She held a three-inch large knife that was dragging out a trail of sparks on the ground as she said angrily: "Fight and kill everyday, I will fight with you guys for a bit today."

    Xia Xuan was shocked, the aura of the person in front of him was much stronger than his, furthermore, he had just been beaten up, so he was not sure if he could win against him.

    Hurriedly getting up from the ground, Xia Xuan beckoned with his flamethrower and it returned back to his hand. Just as Xia Xuan was about to summon her Zhenghu blood armor to fight, the Zhenghu blood armor did not react at all.

    "What''s going on?" Xia Xuan was shocked. The Zhenghu blood armor seemed to have fallen asleep and no matter how Xia Xuan tried to summon it, it did not move. Hurriedly lifting up his clothes, he discovered that there were two fist imprints on the Zhenghu blood armor. The two fist imprints were surrounded by many patterns, as if it was a sealing array formation!

    Xia Xuan was stunned, his life saving equipment, Zhenghu blood armor was actually sealed, and that meant he had entered his weakest state, adding the fact that the person in front of him was planning to kill him, a great calamity was about to befall him.

    Seeing that the man had already dragged the large knife to, the three-inch-long large knife danced out a wind sound and directly pounced towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan was shocked. The silver snake swam about on her body and instantly appeared over ten meters away.

    The large knife missed and struck the ground. With the large knife at the center, cracks that were dozens of meters long spread out.

    "Gulp." Xia Xuan swallowed his saliva, and the book on the blood light appeared in his hand. The book released a blood light, and when the light enveloped Xia Xuan, a surge of energy also came out of nowhere.

 C251

    Chapter 251 - Madness (2)

    "Swift Thunder." Two words that carried a hint of electricity came out of Xia Xuan''s mouth, followed by many afterimages. Then, Xia Xuan disappeared without a trace.

    The moment Xia Xuan disappeared, the man suddenly flung the three inch long large knife in his hand behind him. The large knife then collided with the flamethrower ruthlessly, causing a spiritual energy to ripple outwards.

    After being blocked in one move, Xia Xuan did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. His figure immediately disappeared, and after that, he did not know where he had gotten his attacks from, but all of them were blocked by the man.

    Suddenly, the man extended his hand and grabbed out, grabbing onto the tip of the flamethrower s spear, Xia Xuan''s figure appeared. After controlling Xia Xuan with one move, the man brandished the large knife with his other hand, and the large knife directly struck towards Xia Xuan''s neck.

    Facing this attack, Xia Xuan was extremely afraid. Without hesitation, he released the flamethrower, and with a movement, he appeared behind the man. The spiritual energy condensed into two broken blades, and directly aimed them at the man''s neck.

    Just as Xia Xuan was prepared to finish the man''s life, a shocking scene appeared again. The man threw away the flamethrower and the flamethrower at an extraordinary speed, grabbed Xia Xuan''s head with both of his hands, and then fiercely flung him to the ground.

    The man''s sudden attack also scared Xia Xuan, but he himself did not have any chance of resisting, the people of this world were too strong.

    Xia Xuan was flung fiercely to the ground, immediately causing more cracks to appear, Xia Xuan laid on the ground, unable to get up.

    Just at this moment, a blood-red needle flew towards the man. However, the needle was slapped away by the man, who then grabbed at the book on the side.

    There wasn''t even a chance for him to resist. The Book of Blood Armor was directly grabbed by the man, who threw it onto the ground.

    The book that was thrown to the ground lost its light. There was even a mysterious array formation on it; it was obvious that the book had been sealed as well.

    Lying on the ground, Xia Xuan''s eyes widened as he looked at the sealed Book of Blood Light. Originally, the seal on the Zhenghu blood armor had greatly weakened his fighting strength, but now that the book was sealed as well, what sort of strength did he have?

    Sealing the book, the man''s face revealed a smile, and then he suddenly kicked at Xia Xuan, sending him flying.

    "Bang!" Xia Xuan fiercely smashed into a boulder, causing cracks to appear on it, while Xia Xuan laid on the ground, spitting out blood.

    It could be said that this was the biggest humiliation in the history of Deicide.

    "Crunch." Xia Xuan slowly crawled up from the ground. The binocular was already blood-red, because the veins on its forehead were constantly pulsating from anger.

    "Soldier King, can you help me?" Xia Xuan said while clenching his teeth. However, he did not hear a reply, and continued to speak, "Peng Hong, can you make a move?" There was still no reply. Soldier King and Peng Hong both seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, with not even the slightest of responses.

    "Damn it, even if my Deicide does not use any external power, we can still go against the heavens." Xia Xuan scolded angrily, following that, a blood colored spiritual energy surged out from his body. The killing intent that shot to the sky and the appearance of the world''s most powerful general astonishingly came from the soul of the Deicide.

    A mouthful of dark red Qi was exhaled by Xia Xuan and a smile appeared on his face. He used the flamethrower technique and returned it to his hand.

    tilted his head and looked at the man, the smile on his face looked a little sinister, and said with a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you ready to accept death?"

    When the man saw Xia Xuan like this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He could not help but take a few steps back and quickly picked up the large knife on the ground and vigilantly stared at Xia Xuan.

    "It seems he hasn''t died yet." Xia Xuan laughed again, and then he suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment he appeared in front of the man, the flamethrower in his hand danced with spear lights, the man was not someone who was satisfied, immediately, the large knife also danced, blocking Xia Xuan''s attack.

    "Haha, do you want to feel something faster?" Xia Xuan laughed out loud, then the speed of the flamethrower in his hands suddenly increased, to the point where he could only see the afterimage of the spear tip, the man was unable to react at all, and countless wounds immediately appeared on his body.

    "What''s wrong with you? Wasn''t it very strong before? How did you become so weak? " Xia Xuan laughed crazily, his entire person looking like a madman.

    Very quickly, the man was unable to withstand Xia Xuan''s crazy attacks, and planned to increase the distance, but just as he was about to move, the flamethrower in Xia Xuan''s hands swung out, and at the same time he disappeared.

    The man waved the large knife in his hand and sent it flying. Just as he was about to look for Xia Xuan, Xia Xuan appeared behind the man and gathered all the spiritual energy of the Xuanhuang in his hands. Before the man could react, Xia Xuan''s hand, which was filled with spiritual energy, directly grabbed onto the man''s heart.

    "Chi", Xia Xuan''s entire palm had pierced through the man''s chest, and his heart was still beating in Xia Xuan''s hand. The scorching feeling was extremely beautiful in Xia Xuan''s eyes, and the heartbeat sounded extremely wonderful in Xia Xuan''s ears.

    "Chi!" Another sound came out. Xia Xuan pulled his hand out, and then with a bang, his heart exploded. The man fell to the ground just like that.

    As the blood aura slowly dissipated, Xia Xuan returned to normal. Looking at his arm that was covered in blood, Xia Xuan did not even frown.

    His gaze turned towards the man on the ground, only to realise that the man''s corpse was turning into dust, and his entire body was slowly dissipating, the dust surrounding Xia Xuan before walking away and dissipating.

    Xia Xuan turned his head to look at the two groups of people on the battlefield. He realised that the two groups of people had already disappeared, and the houses around them had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

    "Not bad, to be so ruthless on the first day." A laugh rang out, and then Luo Ye appeared beside Xia Xuan.

    "This is ˇ­" Xia Xuan pointed to the house that had returned to normal and asked curiously.

    "I''m in charge, so of course I''ll clean up the mess." Luo Ye said before he disappeared again.

 C252

    Chapter 252 - Infinite Rebirth

    With regards to Luo Ye who disappeared, Xia Xuan could only shake his head and look. It seemed that after defeating the man, his own strength had increased.

    With regards to this discovery, Xia Xuan was also pleasantly surprised. No wonder the people here were so aggressive, under the temptation of power, massacring was simply an interesting thing.

    Xia Xuan did not linger and returned to his room. It was an extremely ordinary room, with a bed, a table, and a chair. There wasn''t much there, there wasn''t even a toilet.

    "This ˇ­" Xia Xuan already did not know what to say, so he could only use the spiritual energy to clean the house.

    After cleaning the house, Xia Xuan sat on the bed with his legs crossed and a Pills in his hands. Below him was a praying mat, for the items to compress the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan had to do a lot, since his strength had increased today, it was time to compress the spiritual energy.

    The spiritual energy revolved and revolved one after another. What Xia Xuan did not realize was that as he was compressing the spiritual energy, a stream of white smoke came out of Xia Xuan''s forehead. Following the release of the white smoke, Xia Xuan''s skin became a little fairer.

    At this time, Xia Xuan''s entire body and mind was immersed in his own body, and the spiritual energy in his body did not circulate for a few rounds, but the density of the spiritual energy was no longer possible to compress. Compared to the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had obtained, the density of the spiritual energy was most likely not any lower.

    This discovery made Xia Xuan even more surprised, "If killing people here can gain power, then I wonder what would happen if I kill everyone?" Xia Xuan licked his tongue, and his eyes unconsciously became red.

    "No, we cannot be fooled by the power of the binocular." immediately shook his head, feeling greatly shocked in his heart. Power was able to seduce people, and if he was tempted by it, he would very likely be like the rest of the people in the city. He knew how to kill, and at that time, he might not even have the chance to leave.

    "Stay awake, otherwise you won''t be able to get out." Xia Xuan sighed, then entered into a state of cultivation, revolving the five hundred to five hundred meridian, wantonly absorbing the stench of blood in the air.

    Xia Xuan stayed in cultivation for the entire day, and when he finished cultivating, he realized that it was already the second day, so he pushed open the door and stretched lazily. Just as Xia Xuan was about to think of a way to eat, waves of laughter rang out.

    When he looked towards the source of the sound, he discovered that there was a group of people holding torches, preparing to burn down their houses.

    Xia Xuan''s face had an expression of impatience, these people really did not end there.

    This time, Xia Xuan did not try to save his house, but immediately activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards the group of people.

    Xia Xuan did not know how strong this group of people were, he only knew that his strength had increased a little, and should not be like yesterday, in a sorry state after being beaten up.

    However, the face-smacking incident had occurred. It was almost exactly the same as the day before, another row of houses were destroyed by Xia Xuan, followed by a group of red-eyed people fighting with the people who burnt their houses. Also, a red-eyed man was walking towards him.

    The only difference was that the man who hit him this time was a large man with a meteor hammer in his hand. Compared to the man from yesterday, the big man''s aura was much stronger.

    This time, Xia Xuan was still unable to defeat the big sized man, as though no matter if it was speed or strength, the person here would always be stronger than him.

    When Xia Xuan was beaten into a sorry state again, the Deicide''s Soul Possession once again came to an end, just like yesterday. Xia Xuan eventually killed the big sized man, who turned into dust, circled around Xia Xuan once, then disappeared, and so did the rest of the people.

    The only difference was that Xia Xuan was heavily injured this time. Just from being struck by the meteor hammer, at least three of his ribs had already been broken.

    This time, Luo Ye appeared as usual, and it was unknown what kind of power she used, but in an instant, all of Xia Xuan''s injuries were completely healed.

    "Brat, you have great potential. I believe that you will be able to leave sooner or later." Luo Ye said to Xia Xuan, and then disappeared, giving Xia Xuan no chance to speak.

    Returning to the house, Xia Xuan cultivated for another day. On the second day, another person came to burn the house. This time, Xia Xuan did not go and fight with those people again.

    The next scene was one of those people continuing to wreak havoc, causing public outrage. Following that was a huge battle between two groups, and just when Xia Xuan thought that he had nothing to do with it, a man with an iron whip walked towards him aggressively.

    "Looks like I can''t avoid it." Xia Xuan laughed, and then the flamethrower appeared in his hands. This time, the Deicide''s soul directly possessed his body, and under the crazy battle, Xia Xuan barely won against the man.

    The following days were the same every day. In the early morning, there would be people coming to burn the houses, and then, there would be a huge battle between two groups. No matter what Xia Xuan did, there would always be a man coming to find trouble with him.

    At this time, Luo Ye would appear again as usual. No matter how many injuries Xia Xuan had suffered, Luo Ye would still be able to recover and remain calm for the next day. )

    In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed. Xia Xuan calculated the time, if he still could not find a way to escape, he would not be able to make it in time.

    Instead, he wandered around the city for an entire day. After an entire day, Xia Xuan realized that the only way to leave this place was through the tunnel that he had come from.

    "That shouldn''t be the case. If there''s only one path, why are there so many people here?" Xia Xuan stroked his chin and thought hard. Xia Xuan had already established the God-Slaying Manor ten thousand years ago. If there was only that one path, all the people here would have died long ago.

    "Still trying to escape?" A laugh came out, and then Luo Ye appeared beside Xia Xuan.

    "What is this place?" Xia Xuan asked, his expression already extremely gloomy.

    "Why do you want to leave?" Luo Ye''s voice suddenly became extremely charming, a pair of jade arms wrapped around Xia Xuan''s neck, his jade hands stroking Xia Xuan''s chest, a burst of fragrance drifted over, Luo Ye''s lips moved closer to Xia Xuan''s ear, the voice that made his heart tremble asked, "Am I not pretty?"

    Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards Luo Ye, only to discover that Luo Ye had already taken off his hat, and his face was completely exposed to Xia Xuan. It was a beautiful face that could topple nations. A pair of black eyes that were deep in darkness looked at Xia Xuan, with his supple black hair reaching down to his waist.

    "You ˇ­" Xia Xuan looked at Luo Ye''s face and all the binocular s stared with wide eyes. Luo Ye''s face was extremely similar to a person.

    "Do you want to stay?" The corner of Luo Ye''s mouth rose slightly as he spoke in a charming voice.

    "You don''t have to pretend to be her. I will leave eventually." Xia Xuan said coldly. He took Luo Ye''s hand away and headed straight to his own house.

 C253

    Chapter 253 - Breakthrough

    The next day, Xia Xuan killed the enemy as usual and then, Luo Ye treated his injuries. Looking at the place where Luo Ye disappeared, Xia Xuan was unable to recover from his shock for a long time, but he still could not forget that face, that face that belonged to demon god.

    After standing there for a long time, a look of determination surfaced in Xia Xuan''s eyes. He then looked in the direction that he came from, where there was an army.

    "Time waits for no one, I must force my way in." Xia Xuan mumbled to himself as he flew towards the direction of the spiritual energy.

    Very quickly, an army appeared in their line of sight. Every single Soldiers was the same, the binocular was empty, as though they were walking dead. The general dressed in red, who was standing in front of the army, released a dangerous aura.

    When the flamethrower appeared in his hands, it possessed the soul of the Deicide, causing numerous afterimages to appear. He instantly arrived in front of the army, and the flamethrower stabbed towards the general.

    Since these Soldiers looked like zombies, then as long as they killed the great generals, they should be able to leave this place.

    Just as the flamethrower was about to reach the general, a Red Cherry pike suddenly blocked in front of the general. The tip of the flamethrower''s spear was pointed at the Red Cherry pike, and it actually could not move an inch forward.

    With a shake of his hand, the Red Cherry pike pushed the flamethrower away, and then, stabbed towards Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan was shocked, he anxiously moved his body, and instantly appeared a few hundred meters away from the great general. Compared to Luo Ye''s sister, this general was several times stronger.

    The general forced Xia Xuan to retreat with his attack, but he did not seem to have any intentions of chasing after him, so the Soldiers s reacted, and all of them stepped forward, and rumbling sounds came out one after another.

    The entire army walked towards Xia Xuan step by step. That oppressive feeling made Xia Xuan realize that it was impossible for him to escape from here.

    "Tch." Xia Xuan unwillingly let out a cry, and directly flew towards the city using the spiritual energy.

    Returning to his living quarters, Xia Xuan stood at the door and did not enter the house for a long time. After a long time, he rushed towards a room to the side, the spiritual energy formed a fist, and Xia Xuan actually punched the house.

    "Boom!" The house collapsed and a large man walked out from within the ruins. The large man held a large knife that was blood-red in color, and with a single breath, he blew up countless specks of dust. He was simply like a wild beast.

    "Give me your strength!" Xia Xuan roared, then with the flamethrower in his hand, he rushed into the sweat. The spiritual energy condensed on top of the flamethrower, as spear lights danced around, leaving behind many scars on the big sized man''s body.

    "Roar!" The big sized man could only use the large knife to block in front of him, but Xia Xuan''s attack was getting tighter and tighter, causing the big sized man to be unable to endure it any longer. The large knife waved and forced Xia Xuan to retreat, roaring at Xia Xuan, and then rushed towards Xia Xuan while waving the large knife.

    Xia Xuan was not afraid of the big sized man at all, the flamethrower released many dragon roars, and every time their weapons clashed, sparks would come out.

    Xia Xuan''s strength became stronger, and every time he came into contact with the, he felt like it was going to break free from the man''s hand. In the end, the spiritual energy would try to snatch the sword to condense it, and after a final clash with the flamethrower, it would break apart.

    The large knife broke, and before the big sized man could react, the flamethrower had already fiercely stabbed out, directly piercing through the big sized man''s head.

    This kind of attack could instantly take the life of the big sized man, but when Xia Xuan pulled out the flamethrower, the big sized man''s body fell to the ground, and the binocular''s eyes widened. Very quickly, the big sized man''s corpse turned into dust, and after circling around Xia Xuan once, he disappeared. Xia Xuan also felt that the power in his body had increased a lot.

    "Clap clap." A round of applause rang out. Xia Xuan turned his gaze over and coincidentally saw Luo Ye standing not far away.

    "Congratulations, you have truly joined the Underworld. Here, you should pursue power. Endless slaughter is what we should do." Luo Ye said in a slightly crazy voice.

    "Hmph, I wonder how much power I can gain by killing you." Xia Xuan snorted, his face revealing a smile, he stared at Luo Ye with a strange glint in his eyes.

    "You are dreaming. To this world, I want to become a god." Luo Ye let out a cold snort. He crossed his arms across his chest, looking down on Xia Xuan.

    "I don''t think I need much strength to deal with you." Xia Xuan sneered, then with a wave of his hand, no spiritual energy surged out, but Luo Ye''s was as if he had turned into sand, and scattered with the wind.

    Luo Ye was not the only one who turned to dust, the entire Underworld was turned to dust as well. All the buildings started to slowly dissipate.

    "As expected, they are all illusions." Xia Xuan laughed. From the very beginning, he had felt that there was something wrong with this world and that this world was simply illogical. After more than a month of observation, Xia Xuan finally confirmed that this was an illusory realm.

    Very quickly, everything dispersed, and what appeared before Xia Xuan''s eyes was a cave. This place wasn''t very big, but the spiritual energy was abnormally plentiful, even though the fantasy had disappeared, and the air was still filled with the stench of blood, but there were no corpses here, and the source of the blood was unknown.

    "Kid, look over here." Suddenly, an aged voice sounded, startling Xia Xuan, and made him turn to look in the direction of the voice.

    The voice came from the corner of the cave, where a white-haired Old Man was currently sitting. Old Man''s hair was ridiculously long, and the ground around him was white because it was already completely covered with hair. Because his hair was too thick, Xia Xuan could not see his appearance clearly, but he was probably a oil lamp on the verge of dying in Old Man.

    What surprised Xia Xuan the most was that he did not notice the existence of this Old Man. Then, the strength of this Old Man was probably far above his.

    Looking at the Old Man, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but frown, and unconsciously clenched his fists. This Old Man had trapped him here for a month, maybe he had some sort of scheme behind him, and it would be best to be careful.

    "Brat, no need to be so vigilant. If I wanted to hurt you, why would it be so troublesome?" The Old Man smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Come, sit down, we will talk slowly."

    Xia Xuan sat about ten meters away from Old Man. Even though Old Man had already expressed that he bore no ill intentions, Xia Xuan still did not dare to relax. After all, the person in front of him was just too strong.

    Seeing the worry in Xia Xuan''s heart, Old Man did not speak anymore about the ten metres. He raised his hand and blood light shone from Xia Xuan''s body, the Zhenghu blood armor and the Book of Blood Light slowly floated up, the seal on it was fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye, the divine instrument''s aura was also flowing out.

    The moment the seal was removed, Black Tiger and Xue Er appeared. Xue Er stood in front of Xia Xuan, while Black Tiger pounced towards Old Man.

    "Stop." Just as the Black Tiger pounced towards Old Man, a figure burst out from Xia Xuan''s body, directly blocking between the Black Tiger and Old Man. That figure was none other than Peng Hong.

    "Everyone, don''t just casually fight. This senior is not some bad person." Peng Hong stopped Black Tiger and anxiously said.

 C254

    Chapter 254 - Celestial Emperor (1)

    Black Tiger looked at Xia Xuan, wanting to see how Xia Xuan would decide.

    "Let''s leave first." Xia Xuan waved his hand, signalling to the Black Tiger not to attack first. Black Tiger did not say anything after hearing it. He walked to Xia Xuan''s side and stood there like a benchmark.

    "Senior, this one is Xia Xuan, I wonder, can you tell me your name and background?" Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards Old Man and said.

    "Haha, boy, you are quite alert. I have long since forgotten my name. I only remember that I am this guy''s master." Old Man laughed and then turned his gaze to Peng Hong.

    Xia Xuan was shocked, his gaze turned to Peng Hong who was standing perfectly straight. Xia Xuan knew that Peng Hong came from outside the six paths, but this Old Man said that he was Peng Hong''s master, so could it be that he also came from outside the six paths?

    "I''m not Xiao Hong''s master. Millions of years ago, my original body had broken through six paths to come visit this plane. After that, I went back. I was just a trace of his aura left behind." The Old Man said again.

    Hearing Old Man''s words, Xia Xuan was immediately shocked, a trace of Qi was able to suppress the two Great God''s tools, and even cut off the communication between him and the Soldier King''s soul, such strength, would cause the Tian Lin Continent to tremble.

    "May I know Senior''s respected name?" Xia Xuan immediately revealed a respectful look and cupped his hands.

    "I have already said that I have long since forgotten my name. As for how I am addressed, the world might as well call me the Heavenly Emperor." The Old Man smiled kindly, he did not have the dignity that a Heavenly Emperor should have.

    "Greetings, Celestial Emperor." Although the ceremony was late, it was inevitable.

    "No need, this aura of mine can''t be considered as one of the Heavenly Emperors." The Old Man waved his hand and said, "You have my aura on you, so you should have already obtained my inheritance."

    Xia Xuan was startled, he did not remember receiving the inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor.

    Old Man''s eyes flashed with a hint of wisdom, and he quickly saw through something. He did not say anymore and slowly raised his old hand, which had turned translucent, as if it was about to disappear.

    "This is ˇ­" Seeing Old Man like that, Xia Xuan was extremely shocked, Old Man was just like the enemies in the illusion previously, they were turning into dust.

    "I should also dissipate after tens of thousands of years. Since you are the person that I have chosen, I can leave peacefully now after handing the item to you." Old Man''s face suddenly turned old, and his body turned translucent very quickly, just as he was about to disappear.

    "Greetings, Master." Peng Hong walked towards the Old Man at the side, and then the Old Man completely turned into dust.

    The dust turned from the Old Man did not surround Xia Xuan, but it slowly condensed and formed together. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an jade seal, which floated in front of Xia Xuan, and when Xia Xuan stretched out his hand, it landed in Xia Xuan''s hand.

    "This is?" Xia Xuan looked at Peng Hong, hoping that he would be able to answer his own question.

    "Keep it, it will be of great use after you leave the sixth dao." Peng Hong walked over and patted Xia Xuan''s shoulders, his face showing a simple and honest smile, and said: "Now you can be considered my junior brother, haha." With that, Peng Hong returned into Xia Xuan''s body.

    Holding the Imperial Jade Seal, Xia Xuan studied it for a long time, but he couldn''t come up with a reason. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted, "Crap."

    With that, Xia Xuan kept the Imperial Jade Seal into his storage ring, he looked around the hole in the ground and found the only exit, he immediately used his spiritual energy and flew towards the exit.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan found the path he came from, and immediately went back along the same path he came from.

    Within the God-Slaying Manor, Wang Hao and the rest had just been driven to the surface. Just as they were about to think of a way to return to the underground, the formation on the ground emitted a dazzling light, and then, Xia Xuan appeared on the ground.

    Seeing Xia Xuan, everyone was stunned. They didn''t understand why Xia Xuan had returned so quickly.

    "Why are you back so soon? Was it also driven out? " Wang Hao moved closer to Xia Xuan and asked curiously.

    Xia Xuan rolled his eyes at Wang Hao, and said snappily: "You''re the one who was kicked out now, I''ve already been down here for more than a month, has the competition started yet?"

    Wang Hao and the others looked at each other, they did not understand why Xia Xuan would say that. Wang Hao even touched Xia Xuan''s forehead, and after confirming the temperature of his forehead, he said bitterly: "There''s no fever, could he have been beaten stupid?"

 C255

    Chapter 255 - Celestial Emperor (2)

    Xia Xuan could not help but knock on Wang Hao''s head and said angrily: "You''re the one with a fever, I really stayed down for more than a month."

    Wang Hao and the others looked at each other again. This time, they did not treat it as child''s play.

    Wu Zhi walked in front of Xia Xuan and said seriously: "Actually, we have just been pushed back to the ground by a mysterious force. We did not experience it for more than a month, which means to say that the following time is still."

    It was just a hole in the ground, it was impossible to have the power to stay still. In other words, the Heavenly Emperor''s Qi was sealing the two Great God''s weapons, cutting off the connection between him and the Heavenly Emperor, and at the same time freezing time. Was this power really something that a single Qi could possess?

    It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying existence the Celestial Emperor himself was.

    After he sighed in his heart, Xia Xuan turned to look at the gigantic God-Slaying Manor, and said: "We can bring everyone back now, I''ll take a trip to Time Palace."

    Just as Xia Xuan finished speaking, two space tunnel s appeared in front of him at the same time. Xia Xuan was immediately puzzled.

    "I wonder if you could come up to see my Patriarch?" An excited voice came out from one of the space tunnel.

    Wang Hao was startled, he had obviously recognized who the voice belonged to, upon seeing that, Xia Xuan immediately cupped his hands towards the space tunnel and said: "Old Yao, you have come, why are you being so courteous?"

    Just as Xia Xuan''s words fell, an old figure jumped out from within the space tunnel. The moment the figure appeared, he knelt in the air and respectfully said to Wang Hao: "Greetings, Master."

    "Elder Yao, please get up." Wang Hao hurriedly helped the Old Man up, and his eyes revealed a sense of relief. Even after tens of thousands of years, he was still able to hold onto his mansion and recognize his as his master.

    "Thank you, my Lord." Yao who was helped to his feet said to Wang Hao, and then he turned to Xia Xuan and the rest and said: "Greetings Lord."

    Xia Xuan laughed and said: "You all take your time to reminisce about the past, I will make a trip to Time Mansion." After saying that, Xia Xuan immediately went into another space tunnel, and the space tunnel shrank back and disappeared.

    Xia Xuan quickly walked out of the space tunnel. On the other side of the space tunnel, there was also a Divine General''s estate, but this Divine General''s estate was tens of thousands of times better than the God-Slaying Manor''s.

    Countless disciples walked about the manor. The sunlight shone down on the manor, allowing everyone to see how hardworking everyone was. This was the lifeline that a Divine General''s estate should have.

    Stepping out of the space tunnel, the first person he saw was Xue Qing.

    Seeing Xue Qing, Xia Xuan''s face immediately revealed a smile, and walked to the front and said: "You even know to pick me up."

    "How could I dare not to pick you up?" Xue Qing laughed out loud, then turned his gaze towards the center of the Time Mansion. There, he saw a dazzling scene of gold and jade, as though all the other buildings were worshipping him.

    "Elder Xue Qing, lead the way." Xia Xuan naturally knew what Xue Qing meant and immediately said.

    Xue Qing did not hesitate and directly brought Xia Xuan to the center of the building, while Xia Xuan followed behind him in silence. All of the surrounding Time Mansion disciples guessed at Xia Xuan''s identity the moment they saw him. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Xue Qing was bringing him over to their Master''s quarters.

    "Who is this person?" The moment we came here, we could see our lord. It is extremely difficult for the disciples of our Palace to even see one of our masters. " A disciple whispered.

    "That''s right, just a mere Xuanhuang is enough to meet my lord, I''m so displeased." Someone else responded.

    Just like this, Xia Xuan arrived at the center of the Time God. When he stood there, he could feel the majesty of the building.

    "The disciples of the mansion lack discipline. I''ll take care of them later." Xue Qing naturally heard the disciples'' words and immediately spoke to Xia Xuan.

    "It''s okay, young people are always like that." Xia Xuan waved his hand and laughed. To quarrel with some Palace disciples was not something that a dignified Deicide could do.

    Xue Qing did not say anymore, but he had already memorized the names of the people who spoke, and brought Xia Xuan into the building.

    "Rumble." The door slowly opened, revealing a magnificent hall, supported by tall golden pillars. On the pillars, one could vaguely see some patterns, and with those patterns, these pillars could easily support the hall for thousands of years without collapsing.

    The ground of the main hall was reflecting a dazzling light. The entire floor was made of jade, and a bright red carpet was spread out in the middle of the main hall. There were only a few people in the hall, but the most eye-catching person was the beautiful figure sitting on top of the hall. That unique set of golden hair and sacred battle armor was none other than Yan Shuang.

    Slowly walking to the center of the great hall, Xia Xuan bowed towards Yan Shuang. He did not say anything, just looked at her. Although the injuries on Flame Frost''s body had mostly healed, his lips were still pale and presumably had not completely recovered yet.

    "Everyone else may leave." Yan Shuang said with a gentle voice due to her weakness.

    "My Lord, I''m afraid this ˇ­" A Old Man in the palace said worriedly, and at the same time, turned his gaze towards Xia Xuan.

    "My orders are to be carried out." A fierce glint flashed across Yan Shuang''s eyes. Her voice was no longer gentle, but instead contained a hint of viciousness.

    "Yes." The Old Man did not dare speak anymore, and immediately turned and walked out of the hall. The others did not dare say anything, and only Xia Xuan and Yan Shuang remained in the hall.

    When the doors to the hall were slowly closed, Yan Shuang suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment, a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose, and a lovely body flew straight into Xia Xuan''s embrace. Although it was separated by the armor s, one could still feel the softness of his body.

    "Alright, I''m fine now." Xia Xuan said with one hand holding onto Yan Shuang and the other stroking her hair, her voice was so gentle that it made one feel as if they could sleep in peace.

    "I really thought I''d never see you again." Even with Xia Xuan''s consolation, Yan Shuang still cried out loud. Even now, he still remembered that when he was facing the attacks of all the Gods alone, his heart was only filled with despair.

    "Don''t worry, I won''t let this happen to him a second time." Xia Xuan''s eyes showed his determination. He needed to protect his sister.

    Chapter 256 - Courtyard Competition

    Not long after, all the disciples of the God-Slaying Manor returned to the God-Slaying Manor, and upon arrival, Xia Xuan called for a meeting, all the clan elders and deacons gathered there.

    Xia Xuan sat high up at the head of the table. Four Ancestral Elders sat beside Xia Xuan, and around the round table were other ordinary elders. There were even other attendants standing around the table.

    Not long ago, Xia Xuan and the others had already seen the suppression of the Left Elder, so no one dared to say anything to Xia Xuan.

    "How many of you know me?" Xia Xuan asked a mysterious question the moment he opened his mouth. The elders and deacons looked at each other in dismay but they could only see confusion in the other people''s eyes.

    "Ten thousand years ago, this sovereign created a Divine Palace with a name like God-Slaying Manor. Unfortunately, someone framed this sovereign and after reincarnating, this sovereign returned to this place." Xia Xuan supported his chin with both hands, as a smile appeared on his face.

    When the elders and deacons heard this, they immediately kneeled down and said in a loud and clear voice, "Greetings, Lord."

    Now, these elders and deacons finally understood why the Four Great Ancestral Elders would listen to Xia Xuan''s orders. It turned out that this Teenage called Xia Xuan was the Palace Chief of the God-Slaying Manor that they had never seen before, Deicide!

    "Everyone, get up. I know that everyone only joined the God-Slaying Manor after I reincarnated, so it''s fine if you don''t know me." Xia Xuan waved his hand and said.

    "Thank you, my Lord." Hearing what Xia Xuan said, everyone gave their thanks and stood up.

    "I''m sure you know what day it will be in a month." Xia Xuan''s face showed a hint of seriousness, and his voice could not help but cause chills to run down one''s spine.

    "I believe with Master here, our God-Slaying Manor will definitely win this year''s competition." At this time, none of them dared to speak carelessly. It was the Right Elder who spoke first.

    "From now on, you all do not know my true identity. I am just an ordinary head disciple of the God-Slaying Manor. After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan immediately stood up and left the conference room, leaving the rest of the people with stupefied expressions.

    On this day, the entire God-Slaying Manor was in an uproar. The disciples of the God-Slaying Manor had only just returned to their residences, and before they could even steady themselves, various elders and deacons had given out their orders. The entire God-Slaying Manor had become lively.

    However, the reason these disciples from the God-Slaying Manor came to the God-Slaying Manor was actually because the other Divine General Palaces did not want them, so they had no choice but to come to the God-Slaying Manor. This way, quite a few disciples would feel dissatisfied.

    On a training field, dozens of disciples were being pressured by an elder. All of them were bent, some were half-kneeling, some were barely able to straighten their bodies.

    Roughly an hour later, the elders had restrained their breath, allowing the disciples to catch their breath.

    "I''m not going to practice anymore, I''m leaving." Right after taking a few breaths, a disciple called out. At the same time, he threw the blood-red jacket that belonged to the disciples of God-Slaying Manor to the ground, and immediately wanted to leave.

    "I''m not training either." Under the lead of the man, the disciples threw their coats onto the ground, then followed that man and wanted to leave.

    Right at this moment, a black figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of the leading man. The fist that contained the spiritual energy directly smashed into the man''s face, immediately causing the man''s face to cave in.

    After being hit hard by Xia Xuan''s punch, the man was sent flying and crashed into the ground with a loud bang.

    Everyone''s gaze turned towards the black figure, only to realise that it was a slightly skinny man, shockingly, it was Xia Xuan.

    "According to the rules of the manor, those who openly lead the rebels will be removed from the list of punishments, and those who follow the wind will receive twenty divine punishment." Xia Xuan stood perfectly straight, the spiritual energy released a faint aura, making him look very imposing.

    "What right do you have to care about us? This Broken House doesn''t have the qualifications to restrain us. It''s your honor to be able to come here." Some among the crowd had noticed that Xia Xuan''s strength was merely at the first stage of Xuanhuang, and immediately one of them took the lead and spoke up.

    Back then, even though Xia Xuan had led four great elders to suppress the left elder, not many people could clearly see Xia Xuan''s appearance. As a result, these people did not recognize Xia Xuan''s true identity.

    Before anyone could react, Xia Xuan had already fiercely stared at the man, a burst of killing intent surged out of Xia Xuan''s body, and before anyone could react, Xia Xuan had already disappeared, in the next moment the man was lying on the ground with a bloody nose and swollen face, with Xia Xuan''s one hand holding onto the man''s throat, the other hand into a fist, raising it up high, wanting to punch him ruthlessly.

    But in the end, Xia Xuan did not continue the fight. He kept his fist and kicked the man dozens of meters away.

    At this time, the man who was sent flying by Xia Xuan earlier had already climbed up from the ground. The man gave Xia Xuan a fierce look, then activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    This man''s strength was only at the sixth level of Xuanhuang. It was likely that he did not train very much and was completely immersed in the resources in his residence. Such a spoiled and spoiled person was simply a worm in his mansion.

    Towards such an enemy, Xia Xuan did not care at all. He immediately turned around and punched, sending the man flying for over a hundred metres, and then smashing him into a rock. His entire body was embedded into the rock.

    "Gulp" The sounds of Saliva s being swallowed sounded out one after another. Although the strength of a sixth stage Xuanhuang was not very strong, it was still difficult for even an expert of Nine-rank Mysterious Emperor to achieve such an effect with a single punch. The Teenage in front of them was not the kind of strength that she seemed to have.

    "Elder Qiu, carry out the manor''s rules." With a terrifying punch, Xia Xuan placed his hands behind his back and roared.

    As Xia Xuan''s voice fell, a Old Man hurriedly walked over. The Old Man held a blood-red bone whip in his hand as he pulled out one rebellious disciple after another.

    No more, no less, twenty lashes each. When everyone had been beaten up, Elder Qiu wrapped his voice with a spiritual energy and said loudly: "Yue Yun, Liu Lin, removed from God-Slaying Manor."

    On the other training grounds, everyone''s gaze was fixated on Xia Xuan. Seemingly everyone had seen everything that happened, and Xia Xuan''s actions had truly stunned everyone.

    "I refuse to accept this. You beat up a disciple, so you deserve to be punished." With so many people, it was hard to avoid the fact that some of them had bad brains. Immediately, a disciple that had been punished shouted out.

    Xia Xuan glanced at that disciple, and that disciple couldn''t help but shrink back.

    "Elder Qiu, announce my punishment." Xia Xuan was not a different kind of person. If he wanted to convince the masses, he had to be meticulous, and said those words immediately.

    "Increase your training intensity by five times." Naturally, Elder Qiu did not dare to give him too much of a punishment.

    Seeing that another person was about to object because the punishment was too low, Xia Xuan said: "Twenty times." With that said, Xia Xuan made a squatting posture, and indicated for Elder Qiu to release his pressure.

    Elder Qiu hesitated for a moment before finally releasing his pressure. However, Elder Qiu was unable to increase the pressure by twenty times by himself, so three elders immediately released their full power at the same time.

    Even with Xia Xuan''s strength, it was difficult for him to defend, causing him to immediately kneel on one knee.

    The surrounding disciples all secretly nodded their heads when they saw this scene. Even though the current Xia Xuan was only an ordinary disciple and the matter that he was handling was a little beyond his authority, the scene of him accepting punishment had caused some disciples to sincerely accept it.

    Chapter 257 - Travel

    A few days later, the disciples of God-Slaying Manor were still madly cultivating, but the number of disciples had also decreased by 10%. It was enough to see how spoiled the previous disciples were. Towards these people, Xia Xuan did not have the slightest intention to keep them, and directly made them leave the Palace.

    Standing on the tallest building in God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan silently looked at the disciples that were cultivating. A space tunnel suddenly appeared beside him. From the space tunnel, a white-haired Old Man walked out.

    Seeing Xue Qing, Xia Xuan''s face immediately revealed a smile, as he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "How have you been, Elder Xue."

    "How have you been?" Xue Qing cupped his hands and said, then a gold storage ring appeared in his hand.

    "I''ve troubled you." Seeing the golden storage ring, Xia Xuan''s eyes revealed a greedy look, he immediately thanked Xue Qing.

    "Don''t just thank me, there''s also that old fogey from the Blazing Flame Manor, Yaoyang." Xue Qing would not take all the credit and immediately said.

    A hint of gratitude appeared in Xia Xuan''s eyes, his gaze could not help but turn towards the direction of the Furious Flame Mansion, after which he grabbed the storage ring and threw it towards a building, where the Right Clan Elder resided.

    "Xue Qing, what''s the situation in the other Divine Palaces?" Xia Xuan suddenly asked, his gaze could not help but turn towards Wang Hao and the other six who were still training.

    Xue Qing stared blankly. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "The entire Furious Flame Mansion has always been supported by that old guy, Yaoyang, and our master will frequently lend a helping hand. As such, the Furious Flame Mansion is still considered quite alright." After he finished speaking, Xue Qing hesitated again, not knowing whether he should continue or not.

    "What about the other Divine Palaces?" A bad premonition surfaced in Xia Xuan''s heart, and he asked immediately.

    "Other Divine Palaces ˇ­ Both merged with the Evil God Manor. " Xue Qing''s words shocked Xia Xuan, and at the same time, anger rose from his heart. After reincarnating, his own Divine Palace was annexed by other Divine Palaces. This was a disgrace to the Divine Generals. These brothers had silently endured this disgrace for their own sake.

    Xue Qing looked at Xia Xuan and did not say a word.

    Right at this time, from the residence of the right clan elder in the God-Slaying Manor, a burst of spiritual energy soared into the sky, and then the right clan elder flew into the air. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Right Elder raised his right hand high in the air. At the tip of his finger, a gold storage ring floated in the air.

    With a sudden movement of the spiritual energy, a river suddenly gushed out of the Spirit Storage Ring. The river flowed in the sky like a galaxy, covering the entire God-Slaying Manor, making it look extremely spectacular. Taking a closer look, he discovered that the river was not formed from water. It was a type of dense spiritual energy river that had condensed into a liquid.

    "Thank you, Ling He." Xia Xuan retracted the anger in his heart and spoke to Xue Qing. In each Great God Palace, there would be a Ling He, and the God-Slaying Manor s whose cultivation speed would rise greatly would also have a Ling He. However, the latter had dried up after being lonely.

    "No need to thank me." Xue Qing said before he tore a hole in space and left through the space tunnel.

    "We finally have Ling He. That''s great." When the disciples who were currently training saw that the Right Clan Elder had called out Ling He, they cheered. Although the God-Slaying Manor would provide them with cultivation resources and had been training at a high intensity recently, without Ling He, their training speed was still no different than a tortoise''s crawl.

    In order to encourage everyone to train, Ling He had fully opened his doors, so that all disciples could enter Ling He to train anytime they wanted. Furthermore, Xia Xuan had set up a ranking, in the entire God-Slaying Manor, the top ten in strength could receive a position of direct disciple, and there were also a lot of Pills rewards.

    Under this sort of temptation, many disciples started to get excited, and the scene of everyone frantically cultivating also appeared.

    Xia Xuan walked among Ling He, and looked at the scene of the disciples desperately cultivating, and his face had a touch of gratification; This God-Slaying Manor was his mansion after all, and his master was very happy that the disciples of the palace had advanced in such a way.

    "Master, I wonder if you could come over?" Suddenly, the right clan elder''s voice appeared in Xia Xuan''s mind, upon hearing it, Xia Xuan knew that it was something important, and without hesitation, he immediately activated his spiritual energy and flew towards the right clan elder''s residence.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan was on the ground. In front of him was a bamboo forest, and the right clan elder lived in that bamboo forest.

    At the end of the small path was a bamboo house. Arriving in front of the bamboo house, Xia Xuan immediately pushed open the bamboo door, and immediately saw the right Clan Elder sitting inside the bamboo house.

    "Right Elder, why have you called me here?" Xia Xuan immediately asked.

    The Right Clan Elder quickly gave way to Xia Xuan and said: "Not long ago, a cactus was discovered at the Immortal Bone Mountain Range. Now, all of the great institutions are eyeing that cactus.

    "cactus ˇ­" Xia Xuan stroked his chin with his palm, the brow creased his eyebrows. For the current God-Slaying Manor, a single cactus was something that was essential, but for the current God-Slaying Manor, there were not many disciples who could withstand this kick. However, this cactus was simply too precious.

    "Why don''t we just ˇ­" The Right Clan Elder hesitated as he spoke, but before he could finish, Xia Xuan had stopped him with a wave of his hand.

    "My God-Slaying Manor is determined to obtain this cactus. As for those who are going to snatch it, let the Right Clan Elder choose someone to accompany me there." Xia Xuan said.

    "You can''t! You have yet to recover your strength, so you can''t take any risks." After the Right Clan Elder heard what Xia Xuan had said, he anxiously stopped him. If something were to happen to Xia Xuan, the God-Slaying Manor would probably not be able to hold on any longer.

    "I have made up my mind." Xia Xuan said before he stood up and left the bamboo house, not giving the right clan elder the chance to stop him.

    Looking at Xia Xuan''s leaving figure, the right senior elder''s face was filled with bitterness. He truly regretted telling Xia Xuan about the news regarding the cactus.

    On the second day, Xia Xuan had already arrived at the bamboo forest early, and waited for a long time. When the right clan elder was about to go and find him, a laugh suddenly sounded out: "You''ve waited for a long time."

    Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw two people walking in from the other side of the bamboo forest. The person who spoke was the Right Elder, and beside Elder Wu was a woman. The woman was dressed in cloth and held a jade-green software.

    "This is my granddaughter, You Ming. She has been out training all year round and I heard that Master wanted to return home to take a look, but I haven''t seen her yet." The right elder introduced.

    You Ming stretched out his hand to shake Xia Xuan''s hand, but he quickly retracted it. After looking at Xia Xuan a few times more carefully, he said: "You''re just a Xuanhuang, why are you participating in the cactus battle?

    "Shut up." He also did not expect that this girl would speak in such a straightforward manner.

    After being enraged by the Right Clan Elder, You Ming immediately shut his mouth, his big eyes rolling around. In front of the Right Clan Elder, You Ming was still quite mischievous.

    "If you really die in battle, then die." Xia Xuan laughed, then said those words casually and flew up into the sky.

    You Ming looked at Xia Xuan''s back figure. He didn''t know why he felt that this Teenage was a little different, but he couldn''t say what was different. He couldn''t think of anything so he decided to follow Xia Xuan.

    Chapter 258 - You Ming

    The Immortal Bone Mountain Range was an ridiculously huge mountain range. From the looks of the land on the east side of Human Realm, this mountain range was the lifeline of the entire Eastern Region.

    However, the strange thing was that no single force would dare to fight against this region alone. Because there weren''t any heavily injured mountain range, great calamities would occur in the entire Eastern Mainland, and therefore, no one would allow any other power to occupy this region.

    Two rays of light soared through the sky, and finally landed on a mountain peak at the edge of the Immortal Bone Mountain Range. At this time, there were already people at the mountain peak, and those people had withdrawn their gaze after seeing Xia Xuan, but they became more cautious.

    Xia Xuan chose a spot to start setting up camp.

    After building a simple wooden house, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards You Ming who was sitting on a huge rock not far away.

    With nothing else to do, Xia Xuan walked to You Ming''s side and without being polite, sat down next to You Ming, and stared at the face of You Ming who was looking at the sky.

    Sensing Xia Xuan''s gaze, You Ming''s face instantly turned red, and he quickly said: What are you looking at me for? As he spoke, he turned his face to the side.

    "You''re just a young lady, why did you go out to train?" Xia Xuan asked.

    "None of your business." You Ming''s voice was filled with anger, his small mouth was pouting, without a trace of heroic and valiant aura.

    "By the way, do you want to see my lord?" Xia Xuan kept on looking for a topic to talk about. He found this girl to be rather interesting, but at such a young age, she was actually someone who spent all her time training in the outside world. Other people at this age would still be immersed in their parents'' embrace, but You Ming was just like a little adult.

    "Of course, that fellow didn''t bother with the manor for ten thousand years, I want to interrogate him." You Ming clenched his teeth, he seemed to hate this lord that he had never seen before.

    "But didn''t he die? This is understandable. " Xia Xuan began to defend himself.

    "So what if he died? If you don''t have power, then don''t create any God-Slaying Manor. If you die, it will be over. You Ming said angrily again, as if he had some sort of special hatred for his master, You Ming.

    Xia Xuan became silent. What You Ming said was not wrong, he did not have the strength to build such a mansion, and in the end, caused the people of the mansion to wait for thousands of years.

    You Ming secretly glanced at Xia Xuan, and when he saw Xia Xuan''s expression, he could not help but probe out: "When you go back, you will not complain, right?

    "Can you tell me the grudge between you and the Lord?" Before You Ming could finish, Xia Xuan asked.

    This time, the one with a change in mood was You Ming, his expression immediately became gloomy, and under Xia Xuan''s gaze, after a long while, he said: "No comment." With that, You Ming raised his sword and left.

    Looking at You Ming''s back figure, Xia Xuan had a complicated look in his eyes. Just what sort of harm did he do to this girl?

    That night, Xia Xuan stood at the peak of the mountain, looking at the sky full of stars, a look of worry in his eyes. In a small hut behind him, You Ming was fast asleep.

    The night was very cold and it was hard for Xia Xuan to fall asleep. Of course, he couldn''t fall asleep either, he needed to observe the sky at all times and wait for the cactus to change.

    As he looked at the stars in the sky, Xia Xuan thought back to his conversation with You Ming during the day. His gaze turned towards the hut and he could not help but be curious as he walked towards the hut stealthily.

    "Creak." Xia Xuan slowly opened the wooden house and walked into it. At this time, You Ming was fast asleep on the bed and he carried a chair and sat on the side of the bed as he watched the soundly asleep You Ming.

    You Ming''s sleeping posture was extremely focused, he was lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed, attracting Xia Xuan''s attention the most. Even though he was sleeping, You Ming''s hands were still holding onto the flexible sword, he was extremely vigilant.

    Looking at this kind of You Ming, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but feel a little pained in his heart. You Ming looked to be about the same age as him, but the degree of vigilance was even higher than his. Xia Xuan was even more curious about You Ming''s experiences.

    The spiritual energy condensed on Xia Xuan''s hands, forming a series of profound seals. After that, waves of the spiritual energy began to spread, Xia Xuan had already decided, since You Ming did not say anything, he would personally look at her memories.

    Xia Xuan''s hand slowly reached towards You Ming''s forehead, but before his hand could touch You Ming, his eyes suddenly opened, staring straight at Xia Xuan''s hands that were reaching towards him.

    In such an awkward situation, Xia Xuan''s hands stopped in midair, and his face revealed an embarrassed smile. Because he didn''t know what to say, he awkwardly smiled: "Hi, good evening."

    When they looked towards the source of the sound, they saw a big hole in one of the wooden houses. The shape of the hole was exactly like a person''s, a Teenage who was lying on the ground beside the wooden house. Beside the man, a woman was propping herself up with both hands, looking angrily at the man.

    "Brat, you''ve eaten the heart of a bear! How dare you scheme against me?!" You Ming said angrily with his hands on his hips.

    Right now, Xia Xuan was really stuttering about what he had done, and for some reason, he had the reputation of being a hooligan, even if he was unspeakably bitter.

    "It''s time to change shifts. Go in and sleep." You Ming cursed in anger once again and walked over to a giant boulder, quietly waiting for the change in the sky above him.

    Xia Xuan who was beaten up could not sleep at all. He slowly walked to You Ming''s side and sat down without a trace of politeness. Just as Xia Xuan wanted to say something, You Ming glared at Xia Xuan angrily and flung his head to the side.

    Xia Xuan was very helpless. After waiting for a long time and seeing that You Ming had yet to speak, he finally spoke up, "Actually, I wanted to see your memories. I''m very curious as to why you were so ruthless."

    "It''s time to change shifts. I''m going to bed." After Xia Xuan finished his sentence, You Ming went back to the hut.

    Looking at You Ming''s back figure, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but frown. The more You Ming was like this, the more curious he was.

    This time, Xia Xuan was more prepared. This time, he was going to use a secret method to make You Ming lose consciousness first before making his move.

    Sitting on a huge rock, Xia Xuan looked at the sky, it was about time, he wanted to walk towards his hut, but he suddenly stopped when he saw a meteor shower in the sky. The location of the meteor shower was very clear, it was located in the center of the Immortal Bone Mountain Range.

    The entire mountaintop was boiling. Some people who had short-circuited their brains shouted, "The phenomenon has appeared."

    You Ming quickly ran out of the wooden house and saw the sky full of shooting stars falling towards the center of the Immortal Bone Mountain Range.

 C259

    Chapter 259 - Immortals (1)

    Seeing this, You Ming immediately reacted as if he was activating a spiritual energy, but Xia Xuan suddenly grabbed her hand, and said in a stern voice: "Don''t be in a hurry, wait and see."

    You Ming became more rational at this point, this kind of fight over the treasures was not necessarily better if someone obtained the treasures earlier, because once someone obtained the treasures first, they would be surrounded and attacked by everyone else, and no one knew if there would be any changes during the fight.

    Although Xia Xuan was rational, there were still some people around who could not resist the temptation and flew into the sky. They wanted to get closer to, the sooner they could get their hands on the treasure.

    There were also other people on the other mountains in the distance who were channeling their spiritual energy to fly. The spiritual energy was emitting light that was like starlight, and if there was no meteor shower, then these people who were flying in the sky would have already formed into a group of stars.

    The meteors rained down at an extremely fast speed and their targets were the same. They were all falling towards a point in the Immortal Bone Mountain Range, but because their targets were too similar, before the meteors even landed on the ground, the meteors that filled the sky clashed against each other. Immediately, countless of meteors exploded and debris flew out.

    Those "water droplets" fell towards the ground, and not long after, the entire Immortal Bone Mountain Range started trembling, even Xia Xuan who was at the edge of the mountain range could feel the shock.

    Following the shaking of the mountain range, an enormous tree that reached into the sky rose from the ground. The crown of the tree was just like a cloud that shot straight into the clouds.

    "Let''s go." You Ming could no longer hold it back, he immediately activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards the cactus.

    "Don''t." Xia Xuan simply did not have the time to stop You Ming. Looking at his retreating back that was slowly disappearing into the distance, he had a face of helplessness. He truly regretted not bringing Wang Hao and the others here.

    The helplessness and regret in his heart were temporarily put aside as the silver snake moved about on his body. It transformed into a ray of light and streaked across the sky, chasing after You Ming.

    There were quite a few people who came to snatch the cactus, and naturally there were quite a few strong ones amongst them. However, Xia Xuan did not see any experts along the way, as he was probably waiting for the right time.

    Just as You Ming was about to rush towards the cactus, a tiny green light spot flickered above the cactus. Although the light spot was small, it still attracted everyone''s attention.

    The competition for the cactus s was not just about the cactus s, but the seeds of the cactus s instead, because cactus s were not something a person could pull out, it was as heavy as a million mountains, and it had the effect of suppressing the spiritual energy s, so they could only fight over the immortal seeds if they truly wanted the cactus s. That green light was being emitted by the immortal seeds, it was likely that the immortal seeds had already matured.

    Seeing the immortal seed, You Ming was overjoyed. Just as he was about to increase his speed, a figure suddenly pounced on her. The sudden force caused You Ming''s entire body to be suppressed by several meters.

    Just at this moment, a fireball flew over, its flying trajectory was exactly the same as You Ming''s flying trajectory before.

    Seeing the attack, You Ming was stunned, then he looked at the person who had saved him, it was none other than Xia Xuan.

    Just as the fireball flew past, a man whose entire body was wreathed in flames flew past Xia Xuan and Yue Yang. The man''s aura was so strong that it had reached the level of seventh rank Xuan Lord.

    The flaming man glanced at the two of them, but did not continue attacking, and directly flew towards the cactus. In his eyes, Xia Xuan and You Ming were not even a threat.

    "What are you so anxious about? There are countless people who came to snatch the immortal seeds. There are quite a few experts, yet snatching them so early is simply courting death." Looking at the man in flames walking further and further away, Xia Xuan chided You Ming.

    "Let me go first." However, You Ming''s face was flushed red, only then did she realise that Xia Xuan was still hugging onto her, and immediately let go of his hand, smiling awkwardly.

    "Why don''t you feel like a disciple who has been in the sect for years, that you''ve experienced this sort of situation often?" You Ming looked at the awkward Xia Xuan, and voiced out the doubts in his heart.

    "Is there? Isn''t this common sense? Let''s move somewhere else and hear the instructions later. " Xia Xuan laughed dumbly, and then pulled You Ming along to a mountain peak that was not too far away from the cactus.

 C260

    Chapter 260 - Immortals (2)

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan dragged You Ming to the top of the mountain. The moment they landed, Xia Xuan''s face became solemn, because there were already many people on this mountain. There was only one person and a Black Man, and Xia Xuan could feel a sense of danger from this Black Man.

    The Black Man also noticed the arrival of Xia Xuan and You Ming and moved his wide hat, but before he could raise it, it again lowered.

    Seeing that Black Man did not have any intention to fight, Xia Xuan was relieved, and immediately turned to look at the cactus, at the same time, a wave of spiritual energy spread out.

    Amongst all the people who had already begun their fight, he was also the strongest. When Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the cactus, the fire man had already arrived in front of the cactus, and in front of him was a cocoon. The cocoon was emitting a green light, and under the light of the light, the man felt that his body was filled with energy.

    "Is this the seed of immortals? This time, I''ve done a great service for the estate. " The man had a smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with only the seed of Immortality. He extended his hand, wanting to snatch it.

    Just as the man''s palm was about to touch the seed, a hurricane suddenly came by and directly scratched the man''s palm. The seed was also blown away.

    The azure-dressed man held a folding fan in his hand and was dressed in azure clothes, giving him a graceful appearance. Most importantly, his aura was similar to that of the flaming man, both being at the same level of seventh rank Xuan Lord.

    "Flame Unicorn, when will your impatience change? The earlier we snatch the treasure, the better." The azure-robed man stared at the fiery man, a mocking smile on his face.

    The man who was called the Fire Qilin held onto his aching hand with a gloomy expression on his face. He grit his teeth and said: "Feng Qingyu, you are courting death."

    "You still don''t have the ability to threaten me." Feng Qingyu was very disdainful towards the Fire Qilin, and she immediately left with the celestial seed.

    Right at this moment, a spiritual energy rushed over, scaring Feng Qingyu as she hurriedly activated her spiritual energy defense, causing a wall of spiritual energy to instantly form. But when the spiritual energy''s attack struck the spiritual energy''s wall made by Feng Qingyu, it instantly shattered, and the spiritual energy''s attack did not lose any of its momentum as it struck Feng Qingyu, causing her to immediately fly backwards.

    Being struck so viciously, Feng Qingyu was momentarily unable to hold on to the seed. Seeing that the seed had been flung into the air, a light flashed across the Fire Qilin''s eyes as it activated its spiritual energy in an attempt to grab onto the seed.

    However, another spiritual energy rushed over and struck the Fire Qilin directly. The Fire Qilin that had no defense suffered a fate even worse than Feng Qingyu, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It flew out a hundred meters before finally managing to stabilize itself.

    Under the gazes of everyone present, the seed was pulled by a spiritual energy and quickly landed into one of their hands. Everyone could clearly see that it was a muscular man who was around thirty years old, but his aura was terrifying.

    "You two little brats want to snatch an immortal seed, hmph!" The stocky man coldly glanced at the Fire Qilin and Feng Qingyu that he had sent flying. There was a scornful look in his eyes that belonged to a powerhouse looking down on the weak.

    "Who is this person?" "How savage." The surrounding people were also frightened by the imposing manner of the burly man. Immediately, some people began to whisper amongst themselves.

    "Look at the emblem on his chest, that''s the emblem of the Pan Shan Manor, I presume that''s the famous Pan Qiu from the Pan Shan Manor." Another person said.

    "Mount Pan Estate ˇ­" If you want to be the main character of this competition, the qualifications of the Mount Pan Residence seems to be a bit lower. " Xia Xuan naturally recognized the man''s arrival. Although he did not recognize Pan Qiu, whether it was in terms of individual strength or strength that he belonged to the Divine General''s Estate, he did not have the qualifications to compete.

    "I''ll be taking the seed." With that, Pan Qiu left with the seed.

    Upon seeing this, Xia Xuan who was on the mountain did not have the intention to snatch it, but You Ming who was on the side could not take it anymore, he immediately flew up to the sky, but Xia Xuan stopped him.

    "The seed is about to be taken away, why aren''t you snatching it away?" You Ming asked anxiously.

    "Don''t worry, the main character hasn''t appeared yet." Xia Xuan patted You Ming''s shoulder, indicating him to wait quietly.

    Just as he expected, just as Pan Qiu was about to bring the immortal seed away, a powerful aura surged out from the various mountains, and then, rays of light and shadow shot up into the sky. The auras of the light and shadow were mostly all far above Pan Qiu, and there were even more of them.

    On the mountaintop, Xia Xuan''s gaze could not help but drift towards the nearby Black Man, who seemed to be looking at him as well. What surprised Xia Xuan was that the Black Man was still able to keep his cool. It seemed that the two people who had yet to take action were the Black Man and him.

    In the sky, Pan Qiu was quickly surrounded by many Rankers. Even those who were not inside the Rankers could feel the terrifying aura exuding from them, which was even more troublesome to deal with for Pan Qiu.

    "Pan Qiu, hand over the immortal seeds. Your Mount Pan Manor does not have the qualifications to snatch them." One of the experts said.

    "In your dreams." With Pan Qiu''s personality, he would naturally not obediently hand over the seed. He immediately snorted and activated his spiritual energy, wanting to forcefully take the seed away. Of course, with his current strength, it was impossible for him to accomplish that. In less than a minute, the seed left his hands and the entire sky immediately fell into a chaotic battle.

    Just as the sky was in chaos, Black Man finally stood up. It seemed like he wanted to join the fight. Just as Black Man wanted to activate the spiritual energy, he turned his head, as if he was looking at Xia Xuan.

    The spiritual energy condensed into a black light sphere in Black Man''s hands and Black Man suddenly threw it towards Xia Xuan. Then, he activated the spiritual energy and flew up into the sky.

    With regards to the Black Man''s attack, Xia Xuan was also very surprised. Immediately, the flamethrower appeared in his hand and fiercely thrusted the spear and sword towards the light sphere, but he did not manage to pierce through it. Xia Xuan could feel the power of space from the light sphere.

    The power of space surged out from Xia Xuan''s body, and only when the power of space enveloped the flamethrower did Xia Xuan pierce through it.

 C261

    Chapter 261 - Competition (1)

    The chaos in the scene was beyond ordinary people''s imagination. If one were to keep their eyes on the immortal seeds, even a Qi Cultivator would be dazzled. Those fighting for the seed would be completely confused; they wouldn''t even know how to fight for it.

    In this sort of situation, those who were weaker than the others were not just for show. As they watched the group of people fighting with all their might and strength slowly gather together, this fight was never a one man fight. Everyone knew the principle of having more people and more power.

    Only then could the scene be made clear. Amongst the two sides, the battle was the most fierce. One side was a man in golden clothes, the other side was a man in red.

    Xia Xuan recognized both sides. The red clothed side belonged to the Fire God Manor, and among all the Divine Generals, only the Fire God''s fighting strength was worthy of Xia Xuan''s admiration. As for the other side, it was the people from The Divine King''s Mansion.

    From the looks of the situation, the The Divine King''s Mansion had the upper hand, and besides the Fire God''s Manor, there weren''t many other forces that were willing to become enemies with the The Divine King''s Mansion. After a long time, the Fire God''s Manor''s forces slowly fell into a disadvantageous position.

    "You Ming, how long can your seal last?" Xia Xuan who was at the top of the mountain suddenly asked You Ming, startling him.

    "How do you know that my strength is suppressed by a seal?" You Ming said in shock.

    "This is not the time to ask." Xia Xuan said anxiously, and looked up in the sky, about to clear up the situation.

    "About two hours." You Ming saw the worry on Xia Xuan''s face and replied without hesitation.

    "We''ll wait and see. Don''t do anything. You are our trump card." With that, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the sky, only to see a red clothed man getting hit by a gold clothed man''s palm, and falling down from the sky.

    Seeing that, Xia Xuan anxiously activated his spiritual energy, and quickly appeared in the place where the red clothed man landed. The spiritual energy supported him and supported him.

    "Thank you, brother. May I know your esteemed name?" After the red-clothed man stabilized his body, he cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan. However, he was still coughing when he said this, and a trickle of blood also flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

    "I don''t have a proper name, I just want to keep some good seedlings for my friends." Xia Xuan waved his hand and ignored the man, turning to look at the competition.

    The seed had fallen into the hands of a golden-clothed man. That man was the one who defeated the red-clothed man, and amongst the crowd, that person was the strongest ˇŞ he had actually reached the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect realm.

    "What is his status in the The Divine King''s Mansion?" Xia Xuan suddenly asked the red clothed man.

    "His name is Jiang Yuepeng, he is the head disciple of the Earth Hall in the The Divine King''s Mansion." The red-clothed man was very respectful to Xia Xuan, and immediately replied him upon hearing Xia Xuan''s question.

    Xia Xuan did not speak anymore, and only stroked his chin, as he started to plan his next move.

    "Brother, are you still not going to fight for it? The situation is now very clear. " The red clothed man could not help but ask Xia Xuan when he saw he was still deep in thought.

    "There are still people who haven''t acted yet." Xia Xuan laughed, and the words that came out startled the red-clothed man. Could it be that there was some kind of expert hiding his strength?

    In the sky, the immortal seed was tightly held in Jiang Yuepeng''s hand, and all eyes were focused on him. Right now, all the experts were showing signs of exhaustion, so no one dared to make a move for the moment.

    Holding onto the Immortal Stage, Jiang Yuepeng''s face was full of pride, his gaze sweeping past the near exhausted experts, then looking at the weaker cultivators, the pleased look on his face turned into one of ridicule.

    "Are you guys trying to use manpower?" Jiang Yuepeng was not the slightest bit afraid of the opponent''s overwhelming numbers. The ridicule on his face could clearly be seen, and even his voice contained a hint of ridicule.

    "Why do you think the people who came to snatch it were all the disciples of the Great God''s General Palace? Because those elders are all watching from the shadows. If you people who have no backers, dare to attack us, my The Divine King''s Mansion, then wait for my The Divine King''s Mansion to chase you down. " Jiang Yuepeng said sarcastically.

    It had to be said that Jiang Yuepeng''s words were reasonable, but after hearing his words, the people who wanted to rely on their numbers to snatch the Immortal Seeds hesitated. Immortal seeds were indeed precious, but compared to his own life, they were worthless.

 C262

    Chapter 262 - Competition (2)

    "Haha, this is reality. You self-proclaimed martial artists, although you look righteous on the surface, you are actually just the lowest level of society." Jiang Yuepeng laughed sinisterly, his face also looked extremely sinister, no longer showing any of the arrogance and modesty a The Divine King''s Mansion disciple should have.

    "Bang!" Suddenly, the sound of an spiritual energy exploding could be heard, and a spiritual energy ripple spread out, attracting everyone''s attention. He only saw that not far away in the sky, there was a Black Man standing in the air. His wide hat covered his appearance, and no one could tell where he came from.

    "Bang!" Black Man slowly stepped forward, and then the spiritual energy beneath his feet exploded, causing another spiritual energy ripple to spread out.

    "An expert of Profound Emperor ˇ­" Jiang Yuepeng swallowed her Saliva, a hint of fear in her eyes, cold sweat already flowing down her forehead.

    A Profound Emperor Ranker could become an Elder even if they were within the The Divine King''s Mansion. Even though they were only the weakest of the elders, they still weren''t something that a few insignificant Xuanzun s like them could deal with.

    "I wonder what your name is?" did not dare to underestimate this kind of ranker, the malevolence on his face immediately retracted, and he cupped his hands towards Black Man and said.

    "I am the scum that you speak of as the lowest level of society, Sclerotinia." Black Man slowly took off the black hat on his head, revealing a man''s face, but there were many scars on the man''s face, the biggest one being the two scars on his face. Under the support of the scar, the man looked exceptionally sinister.

    "Sclerotinia, the one ranked third on the wanted list." Someone recognized the Sclerotinia and immediately exclaimed out loud. Following that, exclamations rang out one after another.

    There was a wanted list in the east of Human Realm, which had a total of a hundred people. Each of them were people that the various Divine General Palaces would have to pay a huge price to obtain, so no matter which one was on the Eastern Mainland, they were not someone to be trifled with.

    From Sclerotinia''s voice, Jiang Yuepeng could clearly hear the anger on his face. Obviously, he was very angry at what he had said just now, which was ranked third on the wanted list.

    "You, aren''t you afraid that our mansion''s elders will chase after you?" Jiang Yuepeng''s voice became shaky, he could tell that the Sclerotinia was going to snatch the seed away.

    "Humph!" If they had the ability, they would have already come for me. " The Sclerotinia snorted coldly, and then, his figure flashed as he appeared in front of Jiang Yuepeng. Before he could even react, a large hand grabbed his wrist, followed by a huge force that released Jiang Yuepeng from the pain.

    Seeing the seed fall towards Jiang Yuepeng, the Sclerotinia wanted to grab it, but the space around it suddenly trembled, and the seed flew away.

    Everyone''s eyes followed the seed, and saw that the last person holding onto the seed was a black clothed man. The man was slightly skinny, but he looked very spirited, and in the man''s hand was a black scale lance, impressively, it was Xia Xuan.

    "Thank you for your immortal seeds, I''ll be taking them away." Xia Xuan held onto the Immortal Seed with a smile on his face. Under everyone''s gaze, he placed the seed into the jade box that he had prepared earlier, and threw the jade box into the storage ring.

    "You actually haven''t died yet." The Sclerotinia''s brow could not help but frown, although the mass of aura light that he threw out was not fully condensed, but it could easily kill a tiny bit of Xuanhuang, it did not expect that not only was Xia Xuan not dead, he looked completely fine.

    "For example, if you kill me, just the power of space is not enough." Xia Xuan laughed and then the silver snake began to move around his body. Xia Xuan did not want to have a big battle with so many strong warriors.

    "Kid, leave the immortal seeds behind." Seeing the silver snake on Xia Xuan''s body, the Sclerotinia immediately reacted, waving his hand and releasing a spiritual energy to attack Xia Xuan.

    Sclerotinia''s attack was always too slow, and the spiritual energy had already arrived in front of Xia Xuan. However, the spiritual energy''s attack did not hit Xia Xuan, but instead directly passed through his body.

    After realising that he had only hit the afterimage, Sclerotinia looked around, but did not see anything. Then, as if he had thought of something, he anxiously looked towards the mountain he had been staying on, only to see that Xia Xuan had appeared on top of it.

    As if he had noticed Sclerotinia''s gaze, Xia Xuan turned his head towards the sky and looked directly into his eyes. A smile appeared on his face.

    Under the Sclerotinia''s attentive gaze, Xia Xuan lifted You Ming up in his arms. Then, the silver snake scurried crazily around its body as numerous afterimages appeared. As for Xia Xuan and You Ming, they had long since appeared at the distant horizon.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan wanted to snatch the thing and run, the Sclerotinia immediately activated his spiritual energy and chased after Xia Xuan.

    "What are you still standing there in a daze for? Chase after him!" Seeing that, Jiang Yuepeng shouted to the other disciples of The Divine King''s Mansion.

    The disciples reacted after being yelled at like this. A group of people hastily rushed towards the distance while the others also chased after them. For a moment, everyone had the same goal and the scene was quite spectacular.

    Just as everyone had left, at the mountain peak where Xia Xuan was at previously, two figures slowly appeared. They were shockingly Xia Xuan and You Ming.

    "I don''t have much skill. I''m pretty good at creating clones, so I''m pretty good at using my fake avatar." Xia Xuan looked at the direction where the group of people left in, and smirked foolishly as he touched the back of his head with his palm.

    You Ming glanced at Xia Xuan and the brow could not help but frown. Only now did she realise that the little brother in front of his was not as simple as she had imagined.

    "Let''s go and find a place to hide. Hopefully, they won''t be able to find us." Xia Xuan ignored You Ming''s gaze and the expression on his face became very serious. He pulled You Ming and flew in the opposite direction from him.

 C263

    Chapter 263 - Hiding in Tibet (1)

    Xia Xuan brought You Ming and ran for a few hours before stopping. He surveyed his surroundings and identified the place they were at.

    "It''s here. I''ll hide here for a while, then return to the manor after the storm ends." Confirming his location, Xia Xuan spoke to You Ming before pulling You Ming along.

    "Don''t pull me, I can walk by myself." All of a sudden, You Ming started complaining about his background, and his face started to turn red, all the way by Xia Xuan''s hand, it was still warm, it was warm.

    "Sorry." Xia Xuan laughed foolishly as he rubbed his head. He had also forgotten the principle that men and women shouldn''t be intimate with each other because he was running away.

    Landing on the ground, Xia Xuan looked around, identifying his direction, then started to move.

    "Wait, this is the iron forest, right?" Just then, You Ming called out to Xia Xuan and asked.

    "Yeah, what''s wrong?" Xia Xuan nodded his head, but did not feel that there was anything amiss with what he had said, but You Ming''s face revealed a bit of anger.

    "How can this place hide humans, do you know that the trees here are made of iron, and can spread their aura?" You Ming was finally unable to endure it any longer and shouted at Xia Xuan.

    "Of course I have the main point, believe me." Xia Xuan said as he reached out to touch You Ming''s head, but You Ming dodged him. At the same time, he pouted his face and stared at Xia Xuan with bitterness.

    Xia Xuan laughed awkwardly and quickly walked into the distance. After hesitating for a while, You Ming followed.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan brought You Ming to the depths of iron forest. It had to be said that the iron forest was still very big, with a lot of trees. Although the cycad tree could spread out people''s Qi, if one could not identify who these auras belonged to, they would not know who was hiding.

    Xia Xuan directly walked in front of a gigantic tree, his hand caressing the tree, at the same time, a wave of spiritual energy quietly entered into the tree, not long later, the ground actually started to tremble, and the surrounding trees started to move. Under the dazzling movement of the tree, Xia Xuan and You Ming disappeared, and the tree returned to its original state.

    Xia Xuan and You Ming appeared in a cave. The surrounding rocks looked very hard, and the cave was very spacious as well. The most important thing was that there were a lot of iron roots circling around the surrounding walls of the cave.

    "How do you know this place?" You Ming asked curiously, his face full of shock.

    "I built this place. How can there not be many places to hide when traveling in the martial arts world?" Xia Xuan smiled.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the gaze that You Ming looked at him with was filled with scrutiny. Logically speaking, the disciples of the palace should have spent most of their time within the manor, so the places where they could hide were extremely few.

    Xia Xuan did not pay attention to You Ming''s scrutinizing gaze and started wandering around in the cave, as if he was looking for something. After searching for a long time, Xia Xuan suddenly stopped in front of a cliff and stared at the ground.

    Just as You Ming wanted to speak, Xia Xuan suddenly squatted on the ground and used both hands to dig out the soil.

    Out of curiosity, You Ming walked forward and looked curiously at what Xia Xuan was trying to dig. Under Xia Xuan''s desperate digging, a box was quickly unearthed. The box wasn''t very large, and it also looked extremely ancient. There were still some golden symbols on it, but because it was so old, one couldn''t tell what the golden symbols used to be like.

    "Fortunately, he''s still here." Holding the box, Xia Xuan''s face was full of excitement, like a child who had just found a treasure, and laughed happily.

    "What is this?" You Ming asked curiously.

    "Something left by an expert for me, I don''t know what it is." Xia Xuan replied and then opened the chest, following that, a ray of light was released from the chest.

    In the midst of the blinding light, a scroll slowly floated up. Just by looking at the scroll, Xia Xuan''s binocular felt a little dizzy.

    Xia Xuan reached out to grab the scroll in his hands, his face filled with excitement. In his previous life, Xia Xuan had not become a god, and had once trained in an Earth Realm martial art, his name was Swift Steps, but after Xia Xuan became a god, this martial art was not very useful at all, and in the end, it was forgotten. But fortunately, Xia Xuan did not give this martial art to others, so it was actually useful for him.

    The impatient Xia Xuan hurriedly opened the scroll. There were no words on the scroll, but a burst of information rushed into his mind and instantly filled up Xia Xuan''s brain.

 C264

    Chapter 264 - Hiding in Tibet (2)

    "Swift Steps, Earth Class agility type martial art. When you master it, no one in Homo sapiens can compete with you." A huge amount of information continuously flowed into Xia Xuan''s mind, and then, Xia Xuan''s consciousness started to quiet down, falling into darkness.

    At the same time, within the Immortal Bone Mountain Range, Jiang Yuepeng brought a group of The Divine King''s Mansion disciples to the top of the mountain. Previously, everyone chased after Xia Xuan and You Ming for a long time, but the last two turned into two spiritual energy s and disappeared.

    Therefore, many people had left, but Jiang Yuepeng did not, because he still had ways to find Xia Xuan.

    Standing on the top of the mountain, Jiang Yuepeng felt the remaining power of the Lightning, he looked in the direction that Xia Xuan had left, and an item appeared in his hand. It was a spherical object, and upon a closer look, it was actually an eye. However, this eye was very big, and the material it was made out of seemed like it was carved out of jade.

    "Luckily I took a Qilin eye when I came out. I don''t believe that the two of them could run that far." Jiang Yuepeng laughed complacently, and the Qilin eye in his hand floated up into the air, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the Qilin eyes, hitting Jiang Yuepeng on the forehead, then the other vertical eye opened up.

    Closing the binocular, she used her vertical eye to look in the direction that Xia Xuan had left. The scene where Xia Xuan and You Ming had left earlier also appeared in front of her.

    "Humph!" You''re still a little too young for me. " Jiang Yuepeng laughed proudly, with a wave of his hand, he led the group of The Divine King''s Mansion disciples to chase after Xia Xuan.

    Just as Jiang Yuepeng and the rest were about to leave, a figure slowly appeared on top of the mountain. It was a man with a face full of scars.

    Sclerotinia looked in the direction Jiang Yuepeng''s group left and couldn''t help but to have a mocking smile on his face. With an ice-cold voice, he said: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole." With that, the Sclerotinia disappeared.

    Underground of the iron forest, Xia Xuan was still unconscious, but the meridian in his body was circulating at a very fast speed, as though there was some kind of energy forming in his body, only that the speed at which the energy was forming was a little slow.

    Beside Xia Xuan, You Ming was cultivating. Previously, when Xia Xuan suddenly fainted, it was a big shock to her, but after realising that Xia Xuan was just practicing his martial arts, he relaxed, and started cultivating when he had nothing else to do.

    "Boom!" Suddenly, the entire cave trembled. Even though he was underground, he could feel a huge wave of spiritual energy in the outside world.

    "We were discovered so quickly ˇ­" Suddenly, the unconscious Xia Xuan got up, his hand stroking his chin as he thought.

    "What do we do now?" You Ming asked anxiously.

    "Do you believe me?" Xia Xuan thought for a while before he asked with a serious face.

    "Whatever way you have, just say it." You Ming said without hesitation.

    "I''m about to enter the critical cultivation time, can you stop them for a while?" Xia Xuan said.

    "Take me out." After saying these words, even You Ming himself felt that it was inconceivable.

    Xia Xuan looked deeply at You Ming, and then formed a few seals, causing You Ming to disappear.

    "I hope you can hold on." Xia Xuan looked at the place where You Ming had disappeared from, and a grave look appeared in his eyes.

    At this time, many iron trees in the iron forest had collapsed, and in the air above the iron forest, Jiang Yuepeng''s group was flying high in the sky. The disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion were gathering their spiritual energy together, preparing to attack the iron forest again.

    "Quickly, those two brats are underground. As long as we catch them, the rewards given by the elders will not be small." Jiang Yuepeng was still locked up by the binocular, and the vertical eye on his forehead stared straight at the biggest steel tree in the iron forest, he saw Xia Xuan and You Ming who were underground.

    He saw that in the sky, a gigantic spiritual energy s had congealed. Suddenly, a flying sword flew over and stabbed straight into the spiritual energy. Immediately after, the light sphere exploded, and a group of The Divine King''s Mansion disciples were injured from the explosion.

    The sudden attack caught Jiang Yuepeng unprepared, and he immediately turned to look at the source of the attack. In the sky, he did not know when You Ming had appeared, but spiritual energy had surged out of his body, and the current You Ming was only a first grade Xuanzun.

    "You''re courting death." Jiang Yuepeng cursed in anger, and after that, he activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards You Ming.

    What Jiang Yuepeng did not see was that You Ming was currently biting onto a black Pills. Seeing that Jiang Yuepeng wanted to attack him, You Ming bit down and directly swallowed the Pills into his stomach.

    Jiang Yuepeng''s speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, he had already arrived in front of You Ming. An enormous spiritual energy condensed on top of his fist, and was about to attack You Ming.

    But at this time, the Pills just happened to enter his stomach, and before Jiang Yuepeng''s fist could fall, a shattering sound rang, and then a wave of spiritual energy that was not one bit weaker than Jiang Yuepeng surged out from his body.

    With the seal broken, You Ming''s binocular turned blood-red. The spiritual energy quickly wrapped around his palm and directly grabbed at Jiang Yuepeng''s fist.

    "Bang!" When their fists collided, a sound of an spiritual energy exploding was heard. Jiang Yuepeng had actually hit You Ming five times.

    Jiang Yuepeng was shocked. In his eyes, a little Xuanzun girl like his could be counted as one move, but he did not expect his to have such a method.

    Just as Jiang Yuepeng was shocked, You Ming clenched his other hand into a fist. When the spiritual energy gathered, it unleashed a dragon-like force from its spear and fiercely punched Jiang Yuepeng on the stomach.

    Those disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion watched the scene in astonishment. They watched as Jiang Yuepeng flew backwards after taking a punch from You Ming, then fell to the ground and smashed his body ruthlessly to the ground.

    "If you don''t leave, die." The bright red binocular stared at the disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion, a burst of killing intent burst out, no one doubted that You Ming would kill people.

    The disciples of the The Divine King''s Mansion looked at each other, and a hint of fear could be seen in their eyes. Almost at the same time, they came to a consensus. Everyone was preparing to leave, and there were even two disciples who were preparing to support Jiang Yuepeng on the ground.

    "Humph!" Just a mere Grade Nine Mysterious Sect, you don''t have the qualifications to say such words. " Before the disciples had even walked far, a voice full of ridicule rang out. Hearing that voice, You Ming was completely stunned.

    His gaze slowly turned towards the source of the voice, only to see a man standing in the sky not too far away. Although the man''s appearance was concealed by a large hat, one could guess who he was, it was the Sclerotinia.

    Seeing Sclerotinia, You Ming started to become nervous. Although her strength had already reached the peak of Grade Nine Mysterious Sect after she had released the seal, Sclerotinia''s strength had already reached the peak of the first stage of Profound Emperor. This kind of strength was not something she could contend against.

    "Sclerotinia, are you not afraid of my Palace''s Elders?" A furious curse sounded out, and when everyone turned to look at the source of the curse, they saw Jiang Yuepeng slowly crawling out from the ground.

    "Humph!" Do you have any other way to defeat this woman? " The Sclerotinia snorted and said, "Furthermore, you should have seen it right. That brat should have been hiding somewhere and preparing his trump card. Even if I didn''t follow him today, you wouldn''t have been able to snatch the Immortal Seed from him."

    "You don''t need to worry about that. If I can''t get my hands on it, I naturally have other methods." Jiang Yuepeng was unwilling to admit defeat, he cursed and threw a Pills into his mouth, after which he activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards You Ming.

    After swallowing the Pills, the spiritual energy inside Jiang Yuepeng''s body started to surge violently. The injuries he sustained after being hit by You Ming earlier seemed to have healed.

    You Ming and Jiang Yuepeng clashed once again. Previously, it was only because You Ming was caught off guard that he was able to injure Jiang Yuepeng. However, this time, they clashed and both of them were stuck in a deadlock.

    "Brat, don''t try to be brave. We might as well cooperate for a while. I''ll help you catch that brat who''s hiding there. After the thing is done, just pay me a little bit of money." Seeing that You Ming and Jiang Yuepeng were at an impasse, Sclerotinia knew that it was impossible for him to not compromise.

    Hearing what the Sclerotinia said, Jiang Yuepeng, who was still fighting, couldn''t help but think. Naturally, he knew that the Sclerotinia was not lying to him, because he had seized the immortal seeds to make a deal with the Divine General''s Estate. As a travelling hero, not only was the immortal seed useless to him, it would also attract others.

    "Underground of the iron forest." Jiang Yuepeng roared loudly, and at the same time, he looked at You Ming with an expression of complacency.

    The Sclerotinia''s gaze turned towards the ground and a smile appeared on his face. The spiritual energy on his palm moved and slowly flew towards the ground.

    Just then, a longsword formed from spiritual energy suddenly flew over, straight at Sclerotinia. Of course, this kind of attack was nothing to the Sclerotinia. Lifting his palm slightly, a wave of spiritual energy s surged out and blocked the attack.

    "He actually still dares to be distracted." Taking the opportunity while You Ming was distracted, Jiang Yuepeng''s offense became even stronger, and he immediately suppressed You Ming, and saw that You Ming was about to be defeated.

    Seeing this scene, Sclerotinia no longer bothered with You Ming. He turned around and was about to fly to the ground, but just as his head turned, a light breeze blew past, so light that Sclerotinia could no longer feel it, but when the wind blew past, Sclerotinia''s face was actually scarred.

    The person who had just turned his head back, his eyes looking towards the battlefield between Jiang Yuepeng and Jiang Yuepeng, only to see a person appearing between the two of them. The person was filled with blood Qi, and in his hand was a blood black scale lance, the tip of the spear was pointed at Jiang Yuepeng''s neck, and the condensed killing intent made Jiang Yuepeng realize, if it was not for his identity as the head disciple of The Divine King''s Mansion''s Earth Hall, he would probably be dead by now.

    "F * ck off." They hadn''t spoken much, but the one word that was cold to the point that even Jiang Yuepeng''s heart was trembling was so clear that everyone could hear it loud and clear.

 C266

    Chapter 266 - First Brother Descent (2)

    "Brat, my The Divine King''s Mansion can specially recruit you as her home. I guarantee that your status won''t be low. How about it?" Although she was already in danger, Jiang Yuepeng''s heart was still a little unwilling.

    Xia Xuan did not reply. He slightly thrust the flamethrower in his hand forward, breaking Jiang Yuepeng''s skin, and a drop of blood flowed out.

    "Don''t be angry, I''m leaving now." Jiang Yuepeng was also shocked by Xia Xuan''s actions, and immediately said that as he continuously retreated, afraid that Xia Xuan''s abnormal behavior would take his life.

    Just as he was retreating about 10 metres, a spiritual energy suddenly attacked towards Xia Xuan. The one attacking was none other than Sclerotinia.

    Towards the attacks of the Sclerotinia, even Xia Xuan did not dare to underestimate them.

    "Don''t give up. I''ll deal with the man, you stall that girl." He had always thought that he could definitely defeat Xia Xuan, and as long as Jiang Yuepeng was able to stop You Ming, the immortal seeds would be easy to obtain.

    "Humph!" "Don''t worry, I can control a little girl." Jiang Yuepeng laughed complacently, he would naturally not give up just like that. One must know that the Palace would definitely receive a lot of rewards if they were able to obtain the cactus.

    "How reckless." Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan was a little angry in his heart, and he could vaguely sense that there was blood spreading out from his body.

    Just at this moment, Sclerotinia had already arrived in front of Xia Xuan, and unleashed the speed of the Profound Emperor Ranker to her limits. You Ming, who was at the side, only saw a black shadow flash past, and then, Xia Xuan was about to be grabbed by the Sclerotinia''s claws.

    Dong ˇ­ Just as You Ming wanted to remind him, he saw that Sclerotinia''s big hand had grabbed out, the target was Xia Xuan''s throat, but he did not grab hold of it, but instead pierced through it.

    "You seem a little slow." A ghostly figure appeared behind Sclerotinia, releasing a burst of killing intent and bloody Qi. A cold light appeared behind him, causing all of the pores on his body to open up.

    Out of instinct, Sclerotinia suddenly turned around, and at the same time, an iron whip appeared in his hand. As he turned around, he waved the iron whip, intending to attack the person behind him.

    Sclerotinia''s speed could be said to be fast, even though Xia Xuan had circled behind him, he was still wary of his attack. Seeing his attack, the flamethrower immediately blocked it.

    After blocking this attack, Xia Xuan unleashed his speed once more, rapidly increasing the distance between him and Yun Che. Standing in the air, with a flash of lightning in his eyes, he said in an excited voice: "Although I did not succeed in cultivating in a hurry, with the combination of the flash lightning, I should be able to execute the fourth stage. Right now, I''ll let you experience what is called the fastest speed in the world, and not being able to break it."

    "Silent Thunder." Just as Sclerotinia was wondering about this, a whip kick came out from behind him. Although he heard the sound of the whip kick breaking the wind, he did not have the time to react, and the whip kick had already struck his waist. Boom!

    "Pfft." Being whipped so fiercely, Sclerotinia immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face also becoming pale.

    Forcefully stabilizing his body, Sclerotinia hastily turned around and looked behind him. Just as he was about to release his fist, his own fist pierced through the attacker, leaving behind an afterimage.

    "You''re too slow." It was unknown when Xia Xuan had appeared behind Sclerotinia, but the words he whispered in Sclerotinia''s ear caused a hint of fear to rise in his heart.

    A cold light slowly moved closer to the Sclerotinia''s neck and the spiritual energy above the cold light. It believed that if he made even the slightest movement, the cold light would cut open his throat and end his life.

    Jiang Yuepeng, who was at the side, was already dumbstruck. He felt that he was one of the top geniuses in the The Divine King''s Mansion, but compared to the person in front of him, his reputation as a genius seemed to be a little lacking.

    "Kid, is it worth it to offend the The Divine King''s Mansion for a celestial seed?" Being threatened by Xia Xuan in such a way, even the Sclerotinia didn''t dare to act rashly, and could only threaten him.

    "A mere The Divine King''s Mansion, I don''t even put him in my eyes." With regards to such a threat, Xia Xuan naturally did not spare a glance. He immediately said that and at the same time, tightened his grip on the short blade, shocking Sclerotinia.

    "You ˇ­" When Jiang Yuepeng heard Xia Xuan''s arrogant words, a burst of anger rose up from his heart, but he did not dare say anything. He was afraid that Xia Xuan would suddenly go crazy and end him first.

    "What big words you have there, I want to see what kind of courage you, a mere Xuanhuang, have to look down on my The Divine King''s Mansion." Right at this moment, a slightly angry laugh sounded out. Then, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy began to stir restlessly. Dark clouds covered the sky, as if some abnormal expert was about to descend.

    Looking up into the sky, one could see a vague figure amidst the rolling black clouds. Even though that person was still far away in the sky, that suffocating aura had already caused the world to change color.

    "Profound Emperor of the seventh rank ˇ­" Xia Xuan resisted the pressure forcefully and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the sky. She could not help but feel a sense of seriousness in her heart.

    Profound Emperor, as the name implied, this level of expert was already an existence of the Heaven and Earth Monarch, everything in the world was like a subject''s subject, but that Monarch''s Qi could only be released after his strength had reached the fifth stage of Profound Emperor, and the expert in front of him had even reached the Profound Emperor of the seventh rank.

    "Naturally, we can''t be petty. Let''s see who they are." While everyone was still in shock, another voice rang out and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared.

 C267

    Chapter 267 - Top-beam Columns (1)

    "Who?" Even the Profound Emperor of the seventh rank did not dare underestimate the power that had suddenly appeared. She immediately looked around, wanting to find the source of the power.

    "Just looking for my ass, your brother is right here." Just as the Profound Emperor of the seventh rank was searching all over the place, a laughter sounded out. The origin of the laughter was not somewhere else, but somewhere in the space beside Xia Xuan.

    When everyone''s gaze turned towards that space, they saw that space had been torn open and a space tunnel had appeared. From within the space tunnel, a white-robed man walked out slowly. The man held a cyan colored longsword, and did not have the old appearance of an otherworldly expert. He looked like a youngster, and he was also a bit handsome.

    "Brother Yi, you came at the right time." Looking at the man, Xia Xuan was not only not surprised at all, but instead had a smile on his face. From the beginning, Xia Xuan did not think that the Right Elder would allow him to snatch the immortal seeds, and sending people to protect him was naturally a must, it was just that the person who was protecting him in the shadows had surprised Xia Xuan a little.

    "Elder Chen Miao, this ˇ­" Unknowingly, Jiang Yuepeng had already come to the side of the Profound Emperor of the seventh rank, bowing extremely respectfully as he spoke.

    "Let''s go back to the manor." Chen Mao gazed at the First Brother, his face looked gloomy, and the words that came out startled Jiang Yuepeng, causing him to quickly turn his gaze towards the First Brother who still had a smile on his face.

    "This Earth Hall master is actually afraid of this person. What sort of background does this guy have?" Jiang Yuepeng could not help but ask curiously in her heart. Of course, she did not ask aloud.

    "First brother, your God-Slaying Manor won''t be able to roam around for more than a few days." In Chen Mao''s hand, a bamboo tube appeared out of thin air and shattered with a pinch, releasing a space tunnel that was torn apart. Before entering the space tunnel, Chen Miao did not forget to look back at Xia Xuan and the other two, and in the end, entered the space tunnel with killing intent and anger.

    "You all ˇ­ Who exactly are they? " Seeing Chen Mao retreating because of his big brother, even Sclerotinia was shocked, he never expected that even if it was an elder of The Divine King''s Mansion who attacked him, it would be useless, if he knew earlier, he would not be dragged into the water.

    "Sclerotinia, do you still plan on stealing the immortal seeds?" When Chen Mao left, the First Brother''s gaze turned towards Sclerotinia, his smile becoming serious, he was angry at the scene of the Heroic Assassin snatching the Immortal Seeds.

    "Just who are you?" Sclerotinia clenched his teeth, his fists clenched so tight that creaking sounds could be heard. Chen Mao could leave immediately, but he did not have that much ability.

    "I don''t mind telling you, we are from the God-Slaying Manor." Xia Xuan suddenly said.

    "God-Slaying Manor, isn''t that mansion weak? How can he have such power? " Sclerotinia''s face was full of shock, and his body unconsciously retreated.

    "God-Slaying Manor used to be a Divine General''s Estate that was even stronger than The Divine King''s Mansion. Even if we don''t get any disciples, do you think the Elders would be weak?" Xia Xuan said again. His voice contained a hint of a smile, as if he was mocking the ignorance of the Sclerotinia.

    Sclerotinia''s face instantly darkened. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and fled. With his speed, he soon appeared in the distant horizon.

    Just as he was about to give chase, Xia Xuan waved his hand to stop him. He looked deeply at the direction the Sclerotinia left in, and in the end, turned around and walked in the direction of the God-Slaying Manor. Seeing that, he did not say anymore, quietly following behind Xia Xuan, ready to return to God-Slaying Manor.

    The current God-Slaying Manor was not like how it was in the past. The boiling atmosphere and the countless disciples'' training scenes all showed that the current God-Slaying Manor was flourishing day by day.

    He could occasionally sense a hidden presence outside of the God-Slaying Manor. It was likely that the change in the God-Slaying Manor had already attracted the attention of the other Divine General Palaces. No matter which Divine General Palace it was, they had never underestimated this once strongest Divine Palace.

    Just as the disciples were training, a strong Qi surged out, the powerful Qi, even people in the entire God-Slaying Manor could feel it, but no one was prepared to fight it, so everyone stopped, their faces were filled with excitement, looking up to the sky, as though they were looking forward to something.

    Very quickly, a crack appeared on the barrier protecting the entire God-Slaying Manor. Although the crack was so small that only one person could pass through, the crack immediately attracted everyone''s attention.

 C268

    Chapter 268 - Top-beam Columns (2)

    Under the attentive gaze of the crowd, a person walked out of the crevice. That person was dressed in plain clothes and holding onto a longsword, it was You Ming. Once he walked in, You Ming stood at the side of the crevice. Then, a white-robed man walked in. Just like You Ming, the First Brother stood on the other side of the crevice the moment he walked in.

    Looking at these two people who were acting strangely, the disciples looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

    Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, a male black robe passed through the crack. The man held his hand up high, and in his raised hand, a pupa-like object was emitting a faint green light. It was the Immortal Stage Beast.

    "Roar!" The entire God-Slaying Manor was brimming with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone was very happy, even the elders who were watching from somewhere were all beaming with joy, for the past ten thousand years, it had been a very rare occurrence in the God-Slaying Manor.

    Beside the bamboo house, there was a stone table, and beside the stone table, there were four stone stools. At this moment, there were three people sitting on the stone stools, which were the Right Clan Elder, You Ming and Xia Xuan.

    The current Xia Xuan was holding a cup of tea in his hands, and there wasn''t a hint of happiness on his face from successfully seizing the immortal seed. No one knew where the binocular was staring at, but even the atmosphere had become a bit heavy because of this.

    "That''s the situation. We''re still lacking in power." The Right Clan Elder talked a lot with Xia Xuan, and only now did he finish his words.

    Just now, the Right Clan Elder had told Xia Xuan about the current situation of the God-Slaying Manor. In short, even if Xia Xuan managed to obtain the immortal seeds, the God-Slaying Manor did not have sufficient resources to cultivate the immortal seeds into cactus s.

    "Rest assured right elder, I will think of a way to obtain the resources." Xia Xuan put down the teacup in his hand, a resolute look in his eyes. The current him needed to carry the flag of the God-Slaying Manor, he was the pillar of the entire God-Slaying Manor.

    "Is it dangerous?" Nurturing cactus required a large amount of resources, even if Xia Xuan wanted to obtain those resources, it would probably not be easy.

    "I''m afraid we''ll need to go with you, first brother." Xia Xuan thought about it, and in the end, said.

    "Brother Yi, we actually need him." Hearing Xia Xuan mention the number one brother, the right clan elder''s face could not help but turn even more serious.

    In the God-Slaying Manor, there was a mountain. The mountain which was used to cultivate spirit herbs and medicine was now a barren mountain. On top of the mountain, Xia Xuan sat quietly, as if he was waiting for someone.

    "Kid, where are you going to find resources?" A serious voice sounded, and then a brother appeared beside Xia Xuan out of thin air.

    "Humph!" "Brother Yi, have you lived carefree ever since we last met?" Xia Xuan laughed, and said to the man.

    "Xiao Yao, when you wanted to recruit me as one of the ten great ancestor elders, I became an ordinary elder." Xiao Yao, when you wanted to recruit me as one of the ten great ancestor elders, I became an ordinary elder. First brother sat beside Xia Xuan, with a helpless smile on his face.

    "It''s been hard on you, brother." Xia Xuan looked deeply at Yi Ge, and his face had a gratified smile.

    Outside the God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan and the first brother had just left the God-Slaying Manor. Furthermore, Xia Xuan had brought a ferocious beast with him too, so it was unknown where the two of them were going to fly to.

    After flying for about half an hour, Number One looked around to confirm that there was no one around, then said to Xia Xuan: "My Lord, do you know how to obtain resources?"

    "It''s nothing. I''ll take you to see what it means to have good fortune." Xia Xuan laughed, after that the spiritual energy began to move even faster, flying towards the distant horizon.

    Although the Human Realm was the smallest of the five great realms, it did not mean that the Human Realm was small. Regardless of which realm it was, the vastness of the realm was definitely unimaginable for ordinary people.

    In the vast eastern part of Human Realm, there was a Forest named Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. This was the largest Forest in the entire Human Realm, also the Forest with the most spirit beast.

    It was still the same as usual. Many people were searching for treasures in the Forest, hunting down weak spirit beast s, but even in the outskirts of the Forest, miserable cries would frequently come. It was not the cries of spirit beast s, but the screams of people being killed by spirit beast s, the strength of spirit beast s was definitely not something Homo sapiens of the same level could handle.

    Just as they were killing the spirit beast quietly, the sound of wind rang out, regardless of whether it was human or spirit beast, they could not help but look over. They saw that in the sky, there were two people and one beast operating a spiritual energy and flying over, their speed was like a meteor, the strong Qi scared a large number of spirit beast, causing many hunters who were lying in ambush to curse in their hearts.

    Xia Xuan and the first brother had a clear goal, they immediately flew towards the depths of Forest. When they truly reached the depths of Forest, they could only descend to the ground, flying in this place would only attract the attacks of other spirit beast, even if the first brother had the strength to pretend that he wasn''t able to deal with those spirit beast easily.

    "Master, where are you planning to go?" Just as he landed, Yi''ge looked around at his surroundings, the spiritual energy secretly released them, and after sensing that there was no one around, he asked Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan did not immediately reply. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings for a while, then squatted down on the ground, picked up the soil from the ground and sniffed it for a while, after a long while, he stood up, his gaze looking towards a dense forest, and said: "Follow me, and don''t call me master. My name is Xia Xuan now."

    After he finished speaking, Xia Xuan started walking forward. The first brother could only helplessly sigh and followed after.

    Walking in the Forest, he encountered many strong spirit beast s in the middle of the way, but Xia Xuan could still deal with all of them, not to mention there was a brother by his side, so it could be said that nothing bad would happen to him.

    After about four hours, the sky had already started to darken. Xia Xuan and the First Brother truly entered the deeper parts of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, the surrounding spirit beast were also gradually decreasing, and their strength was also constantly increasing.

    Once the spirit beast''s strength had reached a certain point, its intelligence would not be any weaker than the Homo sapiens''s. Many powerful spirit beast would have their own territory, and if they intruded into it, they would definitely be attacked, thus Xia Xuan purposely avoided the areas that the spirit beast occupied, and followed a few paths to his destination.

 C269

    Chapter 269 - Prosperity (1)

    "Roar!" As he was walking, the little Zheng who had been following Xia Xuan suddenly prostrated on the ground. All the hair on his body stood up and he let out a low growl, as if there was something dangerous in front of him.

    Seeing the little Zheng''s current state, Xia Xuan did not seem surprised at all. He walked forward a few steps and swept away a patch of grass in front of him before revealing the scene in front of him. Even the First Brother, who was standing at the side, was greatly astonished.

    The entire waterfall was in a semicircle shape, just like a canyon. There were lush vegetation around the waterfall, and those vegetation were very lush, but they were not ordinary plants, but all of them were expensive spiritual medicines. The waterfall that looked like a tourist attraction was actually a treasure trove.

    Of course, a scene like this naturally wouldn''t surprise even the first brother. The real surprise was that in front of them, a three hundred meter long giant python was currently staring at them.

    The enormous python''s entire body was silver-white in color. There seemed to be an electric current flowing around its body. The sound of thunder seemed to ring as the huge snake flicked its tongue.

    "thundercloud Coiling Sky Python!" The first brother exclaimed in shock. The giant python in front of him was a thundercloud, a coiling sky python, this kind of python was born with a large amount of lightning energy, furthermore the one in front of him had a strength equivalent to an eighth stage Homo sapiens.

    "What a great supplement." In the face of this extremely powerful thundercloud, the Coiling Sky Python, Xia Xuan was not surprised at all. On the contrary, there was a hint of excitement on her face.

    Just as he was about to stop them, he saw the thundercloud Coiling Sky Python open its bloody mouth, and directly swallow Xia Xuan and the little Zheng into its mouth.

    "Brother Yi, don''t let this python die. It has great uses." Xia Xuan''s voice was mixed within the spiritual energy and was heard by the big brother. Hearing this, the big brother understood that Xia Xuan had already planned this long ago.

    Swallowing Xia Xuan and Little Zheng, the thundercloud''s gaze slowly turned towards the first brother. Swallowing a mere Xia Xuan, this giant python was obviously not hiding anything.

    "Evil creature." Knowing that the thundercloud, the Coiling Sky Python, was actually scheming against him, the First Brother immediately snorted angrily, and a wave of spiritual energy burst out, the sky was already covered in black clouds, the strength of the First Brother''s Qi had actually reached the peak of the ninth stage of the Profound Emperor, just a step away from the Profound Master, no wonder when she first met the First Brother, Chen Mi would not hesitate to leave.

    Sensing the terrifying might of the first brother, the huge snake eyes of the Heaven''s Coiling Python widened in shock. Then, a hint of fear surfaced and almost without any signs of stopping, its huge body fell towards the bottom of the lake like a waterfall. Under the waterfall, the water level also increased by quite a bit.

    With his strength, it was not difficult for him to deal with the thundercloud, the Coiling Sky Python, but Xia Xuan had ordered that it could not hurt his life. The brother could only sit on a huge rock and look down at the lake from above, seeing a gigantic shadow swimming in the middle of the lake.

    "I can only help guard you." First brother gave a helpless smile and didn''t say anything more. He quietly used the spiritual energy to sense the surroundings, guarding against the arrival of someone.

    After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly an electric current circulating in the water at the bottom of the lake. The figure could clearly be seen in the water as its circulation speed became faster and faster.

    "Bang!" Suddenly, the water surface exploded. The thundercloud, the Coiling Sky Python, rushed out of the water, its huge body striking the surrounding mountain walls crazily. The huge force was so strong that the entire waterfall seemed to be trembling.

    "He still likes to cause a ruckus as much as before." Looking at this scene, the first brother was not surprised at all. It seemed that ten thousand years ago, Deicide had always been this way.

    The thundercloud, Heaven''s Coiling Python, did not cause a ruckus for too long. It seemed as if it had lost all of its power in that instant, as its entire body suddenly became powerless and it fell into the water. Its huge body floated above the water, without any trace of life.

    Suddenly, the thundercloud that had died, the Coiling Sky Python, moved again. However, it did not move by itself, but rather, from its abdomen, the tip of a black scale lance lance pierced out, slicing a hole in the snake''s body.

 C270

    Chapter 270 - Prosperity (2)

    From the opening, Xia Xuan and Little Zheng leaped out. Xia Xuan was different from the little Zheng now, there were countless of electric currents flowing out from Xia Xuan''s body, the electric currents were similar to the electric currents flowing out from the thundercloud''s body.

    His aura was several times stronger than before, and the pair of wings on his back, which had not changed since the beginning, had also become several times larger. There was also a bloody aura on his body, and there were also some small scales on his body.

    "You''ve gained quite a bit." With his strength, he could naturally see that Xia Xuan and the little Zheng had obtained many benefits from the thundercloud s, the Coiling Sky Python. It was just that he did not know what they had obtained.

    "Yes, my cultivation has advanced a bit, and I have truly mastered the fourth stage of flash lightning." Xia Xuan said as he gently shook hands, and felt the lightning energy constantly flowing within his blood. A satisfied smile was on his face;

    "Oh right, we aren''t here to gather spiritual medicine right?" Brother Yi seemed to have thought of something, and spoke to Xia Xuan. These few days, the One Brother hadn''t been waiting either. He looked around and found that the plants here were all extremely high quality spiritual medicines. Moreover, there seemed to be an extremely strong force of energy under the waterfall.

    "We came here for two things. First, to gather spirit medicine, and secondly, to harvest spirit spring water." A smile surfaced on Xia Xuan''s face as he turned to look at the valley full of spirit medicine. He had already made his decision.

    "Don''t dilly-dally, I''ve already prepared a storage ring, how much spiritual medicine can I harvest here?" Xia Xuan threw a few high grade storage rings at Number One brother and then directly jumped into the water. Following a loud explosion, Xia Xuan disappeared from sight.

    He looked at the surface of the water, he did not know what Xia Xuan meant by Spirit Spring Water, so logically speaking, although these Spirit Medicines were precious, but it was not enough to provide for the growth of the Spirit Seed, could it be that the Spirit Spring Water was special?

    With a suspicious heart, he silently collected the spiritual medicines. The quality of the spiritual medicines was extremely high, if not for the protection of the thundercloud, the Coiling Sky Python, this place would have already been divided up by countless people.

    With a wave of his hand, the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy started to circulate. One precious herb after another was swept up by the spiritual energy, and finally, all of them entered the storage ring. With his speed, all of the spirit herbs in the valley entered the storage ring.

    His gaze turned towards the bottom of the water, from the moment Xia Xuan had entered the water, the water surface had been half boiling and half frozen. It was truly mystical, and looking at this miraculous scene, he was able to guess what the spirit spring water at the bottom of the water was.

    Under Yi Fazi''s gaze, the water that was half boiling and half frozen suddenly returned to its distant state. Afterwards, a whirlpool formed, and a black dot could be vaguely seen rushing towards the water''s surface at an extremely fast speed.

    Before long, the black figure grew larger and larger, and very soon, a figure could be seen clearly. The last figure exploded out of the water with a ''bang'', and was clad in black clothes with a head of black hair.

    Jumping out of the water, Xia Xuan''s face revealed a hint of excitement. There was a small jade bottle in his hand, and upon seeing the first brother, Xia Xuan immediately threw the jade bottle at him.

    After receiving the jade bottle, Yi''ge placed the jade bottle next to his nose and took a sniff. From the jade bottle, he could feel a strong wave of energy. It was hot and cold. It was very magical.

    "The Jade Spirit Yin Yang Spring is indeed this thing." A serious expression appeared on the face of the first brother as he said in a serious voice, "No wonder this valley is filled with elixirs. So it''s because there''s such a supreme treasure."

    "That''s right, I discovered this spring ten thousand years ago, but there were very few spring water then. Now that it has settled after ten thousand years, it''s already very rich. Although it''s not enough to nurture an immortal seed, it''s at least half of our resource needs." Xia Xuan laughed, at the same time, he raised his hand gently, revealing the storage ring on his hand, it seemed that the other spring water would be inside the storage ring.

    "But what if someone else discovers the spring?" Although the spring water was good, without the protection of the thundercloud''s Coiling Sky Python, it would be easy for others to discover it. Would he have to give the spring water to others when the time came?

    "It''s alright. This spring is very deep, so it won''t be discovered that easily." Xia Xuan waved his hand, he did not care about what the first brother said, immediately activating his spiritual energy and flying towards the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest.

    "Where to?" Seeing that Xia Xuan was about to leave, the First Brother asked anxiously.

    "Can you use spiritual medicine to cultivate your immortal seeds?" Xia Xuan did not reply him immediately, but asked a question in reply.

    "No way." Number One was stunned as he instinctively replied.

    "Then that''s fine. Let''s go exchange the spiritual medicines for resources." Xia Xuan said as he continued to control his spiritual energy and flew out of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest.

    With their speed, they could definitely travel ten thousand kilometers in a day. However, when Xia Xuan arrived at their destination, he still spent ten days worth of time.

    Standing in the sky, Xia Xuan looked at the city in the distance that he could not see the end of, and a smile that he could not conceal appeared on his face.

    If it was said that the west side of the Human Realm was the gathering place of the Homo sapiens, with the desolation in the middle and the Divine General''s Estate in the east, then the south side was a huge black market.

    "I haven''t seen you in ten thousand years. I wonder how those old fellows are doing." A hint of yearning appeared in Xia Xuan''s eyes. He thought back to ten thousand years ago, he truly had many friends in this Mainland.

    Chapter 271 - black market (1)

    The spiritual energy couldn''t help but to start circulating. Xia Xuan immediately turned into a ray of light and pierced through the sky, flying towards the gigantic city.

    No matter what city it was in, flying would always attract people''s attention. Among all the black market s, which were the largest in the entire Human Realm, flying had become even more of a taboo. Even someone as arrogant as Xia Xuan would not dare to fly around here carelessly. Therefore, before he could even reach the skies above the city, Xia Xuan had already retracted his spiritual energy and landed on the ground outside of the city. Even so, it still attracted a lot of attention.

    Xia Xuan had prepared the black robe beforehand and had put it on since a long time ago. Now that people were looking at him, he immediately pulled his wide black hat to hide his appearance.

    The first brother was also wearing a wide black robe, and he landed behind Xia Xuan along with the little Zheng, attracting the gazes of many people. Of course, most of their gazes were focused on Little Zheng, and no one present had ever seen a strange spirit beast like Little Zheng.

    Ignoring the stares from the surroundings, Xia Xuan lowered his head and stood at the back of the long line outside the city gate, as though he would have to queue up no matter which city he entered. Even Xia Xuan was curious as to why there was such a large flow of people everywhere.

    After waiting for a long time, Xia Xuan finally reached the city gate. Looking at the back of the person in front of him as he left, his gaze turned to his front, only to see a slightly lazy looking man lying on a chair, with a blade of grass hanging from his mouth.

    Seeing the man guarding the door, Xia Xuan''s face immediately revealed a flattering look. A bag appeared in his storage ring, and he moved the bag in front of the man, and then he leaned to the side, revealing the brother and the boy behind him. Xia Xuan said: "I just arrived, I hope little brother can take care of me."

    The man looked at Xia Xuan, then looked at First Brother and the little Zheng, and finally threw the money pouch into his own purse. Then he said with a lazy expression: "Now the spirit beast must also pay."

    "Big brother, you didn''t have this rule in the past, right?" Xia Xuan naturally knew that this man wanted to beat him up, and immediately said.

    "There is now." The man was lying on the chair, gently rocking it, making creaking sounds. His eyes seemed to be filled with disdain towards Xia Xuan and the First Brother.

    "You ˇ­" When he saw the man''s attitude, the first brother couldn''t bear it any longer. He clenched his fists tightly and was about to step forward to teach the man a lesson.

    Just then, Xia Xuan stretched out his arm, coincidentally stopping the First Brother. The current Xia Xuan looked a little gloomy, but he managed to restrain his killing intent.

    "Here you go." Xia Xuan threw a money bag onto the table. Without waiting for the man to check it out, he angrily walked towards the city with the little Zheng.

    The man opened his eyes slightly and looked at the money pouch on the table. The spiritual energy turned around and kept the money pouch into its storage ring.

    After putting away the money pouch, the man looked at the three people beside him. The three of them were currently watching Xia Xuan leave.

    "Let''s do it immediately. It''s best to tie up people like him who have a lot of money." The man leading the three of them had a smile on his face, looking at Xia Xuan and the others as though he was a hunter looking at his prey.

    In the city, almost everyone used their black robe s to cover their appearance, walking in between Xia Xuan and the big brother, as though they were ordinary people.

    Along the way, he passed by familiar road. It was as if Xia Xuan had lived here for a very long time, as he walked quickly through the city. Even as a brother, he could tell how much Xia Xuan longed to see his old friend.

    After about an hour, when Yi''e and the little Zheng were completely exhausted, Xia Xuan finally stopped, and coincidentally stopped at the entrance of a shop.

    He turned his gaze towards the shop and discovered that it was very ancient, completely made of wood. Even though the wood was not eaten by the insects because of the spiritual energy, it still did not hide its ancient scent.

    "The utility room? What kind of shop is this? " When he saw the three big words at the entrance, the first brother was immediately shocked. Who knew what a shop with such a name was supposed to do?

    "Let''s go. He should have sensed our arrival long ago."

    Seeing that the door was closed, Xia Xuan could guess that the people inside had a sense for what was going on.

 C272

    Chapter 272 - black market (2)

    Without even knocking, Xia Xuan immediately pushed open the store''s front door, and an ancient aura immediately surged out.

    "Old fellow, are you dead yet?" Xia Xuan looked at the empty store and shouted rudely.

    "Kid, you still can''t spit out any tusks like before." Suddenly, a laugh rang out and an old man around fifty years old slowly walked into the store.

    "Hua Chen, all the teeth in my mouth are good, if it was in the past, who knows how many people would want my good teeth?" Seeing the Old Man, a smile surfaced on Xia Xuan''s face, and beneath that smile was a hint of gratification and nostalgia.

    "I don''t want any of your teeth." The Old Man who was called Hua Chen laughed out loud, then walked over to a table, picked up three cups of steaming hot tea and sat down to drink.

    Xia Xuan did not hold back, he immediately sat down, picked up the tea cup and started drinking, upon seeing that, the First Brother had no choice but to follow suit and sit down.

    Following that, Xia Xuan and Hua Chen conversed for an entire morning. The ten thousand years of accumulation between the two of them seemed to have an endless amount of words, but it actually caused the person beside them to feel cold.

    Seeing that the afternoon was about to pass, Xia Xuan and Hua Chen finally ended their conversation and went to eat lunch. However, as soon as the three of them stood up, their gazes turned towards the entrance with a gloomy look in their eyes.

    "Yo, you knew I was coming. Are you prepared to welcome me? I can''t afford such a gift. " A Ruffian voice sounded out as three middle-aged men slowly walked into the room. The one in the lead had just spoken.

    "Kid, do you know where we are?" Hua Chen''s voice contained a bit of anger. He knew the three people in front of him, they were hoodlums who specifically bullied the new black market. They were people who would do anything other than good things.

    "Isn''t it just a small shop? What courage do you have to drink me like that? " The leader of the three said in disdain.

    "That''s right. Obediently pay the protection fee. Today, we will do nothing at all. Otherwise, hmph!" Another one of them said with a sinister smile.

    "How reckless." Xia Xuan laughed, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards the three of them.

    "I thought you were smart, but it looks like you were looking for a beating." The leader was naturally able to see through Xia Xuan''s intentions, and with an angry snort, the spiritual energy rushed out and ruthlessly pushed a palm towards Xia Xuan.

    Just at this moment, Xia Xuan suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment, he slapped the leader fiercely. Almost at the same time, two similar slaps landed on the other two people''s faces, and the three people who were slapped flew out, and landed outside the door.

    "With this kind of strength, you dare to fool around? "F * ck off." Xia Xuan stood at the entrance of the shop and stared coldly at the three people.

    When the three of them were hit by this, they also understood that they had kicked an iron plate. The three of them did not hesitate as they stood up and fled into the distance.

    The surrounding people were all shocked when they saw this scene. The most troublesome people in black market were these thugs, there were not many who dared to hit them like this.

    "Kid, just you wait. We''ll bring some people over." As the three ran away, they didn''t forget to turn around and threaten them.

    "A bunch of thugs. How dare they threaten us?! How infuriating!" He walked to Xia Xuan''s side and looked at the three people who were running away.

    "Don''t believe me, there are no rules in black market. Killing people is not a crime, and for these thugs, it''s heaven." Hua Chen suddenly said, his hand stroking his beard, as he watched the three of them escape, his eyes became serious.

    "Does Dong Xue not care?" Xue Er frowned, and looked at Hua Chen with eyes full of curiosity and seriousness.

    "She already knows." Hearing Xia Xuan mention Dong Xue''s name, Hua Chen''s expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, her face was filled with sorrow, and it was obvious that there was some kind of story.

    When Xia Xuan heard Hua Chen''s words, a hint of shock surfaced on his face, but after that, it became extremely serious. His hand stroked his chin, and his head lowered, he actually began to think.

    After a long while, Xia Xuan suddenly raised his head, he looked towards the center of black market and said: "Brother Yi, let''s go find someone, Hua Chen will stay here." With that, Xia Xuan walked towards the center of the city.

    When Xia Xuan and the First Brother arrived at the center of the city, it was already afternoon. The sun had already turned 110 degrees in the sky and was already in the middle of the air.

    In front of Xia Xuan was a building, an incomparably enormous building. This building was shaped like a tower, and just the first floor alone covered an area of over ten thousand square meters, with several tens of floors. At this moment, the sun was at the top of the tower, and from the ground, it seemed as if the entire tower was emitting a holy aura.

    "Is this the Black Ease Tower?" Looking at the gigantic Tower, the first brother was so shocked that he could not keep his mouth shut. Although the first brother was very strong, but that did not mean that he was knowledgeable.

    "I don''t know if there is a chance to save them." Xia Xuan was not the least bit surprised by the Tower, he muttered to himself and walked towards it.

    Arriving at the entrance of the Tower, just as Xia Xuan was about to enter, two guards at the entrance suddenly crossed the pike in their hands and blocked his path.

    "Please show your identity." The two Overseers spoke in unison.

    Xia Xuan was not angry because he was stopped, it was the rules of the Black Ease Tower, it was impossible to prove that no one who had no malicious intentions was allowed to enter, without hesitation, a Token appeared from the storage ring, holding the Token in their hands, when the two gatekeeper saw the Token, they immediately bowed to Xia Xuan, and at the same time respectfully said: "Please come in."

 C273

    Chapter 273 - Chain (1)

    Entering the tower, what appeared in front of him were countless black cloaked man, each of them using black robe to hide their appearances, and at the same time, they held onto an item in their hands. Occasionally, people would look at other people''s items, and they would discuss the price. Of course, there were people here who had a conflict when discussing the price, and then the two started fighting.

    When he saw the items in the hands of those people, even someone as powerful as him would occasionally be moved by it. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had to work with Xia Xuan, he probably would have already gone up to discuss the price.

    "Are you Elder Yu?" Suddenly, a man dressed in a suit appeared out of nowhere beside Xia Xuan, bowed to him and said respectfully.

    "That''s right, where is Dong Xue?" Xia Xuan did not hide from view as he directly asked.

    When the surrounding people heard what Xia Xuan said, all of them were extremely shocked. In this black market, the number of people who dared to directly say the name Dong Xue did not even exceed one hand.

    What surprised everyone was the next scene, only to hear that the suited man was not surprised by Xia Xuan directly addressing Dong Xue by her name. Her respectful attitude had instead increased a bit, and her body unconsciously bent a little, as she said in an even more respectful voice: "The Tower Master has already been waiting for a long time."

    "Brother Yi, just buy whatever you see. I''ll help you pay for it later, so you should leave for a while." Xia Xuan said to the First Brother, and then disappeared with the man in the suit.

    The surrounding people were dazed for a moment, and then, all of their gazes shifted towards the first brother. From what Xia Xuan had said to the suited man before, they could tell that Xia Xuan had that kind of position that directly called out to Dong Xue, and since the first brother was Xia Xuan''s man, his status was naturally not low either.

    Immediately, many people surrounded him, all of them boasting about their items, hoping to be able to sell him a favor. Of course, the price would be a bit lower.

    At the same time, Xia Xuan and the suited man appeared in a small loft. There was a small room there, and Xia Xuan was also standing in front of the door.

    This was the topmost floor of the entire Black Ease Tower, the place where the Tower Master lived. Even the elders of the tower didn''t dare to come here, because the Tower Master of the Black Ease Tower was the most powerful person in the entire black market and at the same time, the pillar of the Black Ease Tower.

    "Knock knock." The suited man knocked on the door twice and then said, "Tower Lord, Elder Yu is here."

    "You may leave." The voice of a woman sounded from the small room.

    Hearing the voice, the man in the suit bowed respectfully towards the door, and then disappeared, leaving Xia Xuan alone at the door.

    "Come in." The voice rang out again, and then the door automatically opened.

    The expression on Xia Xuan''s face became serious, he took a firm step, and his footsteps made a thumping sound on the floor.

    After entering the room, Xia Xuan''s brow couldn''t help but wrinkle its brows. Although the girls took care of the room themselves, it wasn''t as tidy as expected nor as fragrant as it should be.

    This room was extremely messy, and scattered documents could be seen everywhere. Even though there was a distance of a few metres between them, with Xia Xuan''s eyesight, he was still able to clearly see what was written on those papers.

    Sweeping his gaze across the papers, Xia Xuan''s gaze finally fixed upon a table in the center of the room. Beside the table sat a person with a head full of fluffy long hair who was currently engrossed in processing documents. If one did not know her identity, people would have thought that she was a beggar.

    Looking at Dong Xue who had become this way after processing the Black Ease Tower, Xia Xuan couldn''t speak for a long time. Ten thousand years ago, this child was still very beautiful.

    "You are Yu Ran?" Dong Xue did not raise his head, and continued to concentrate on processing the documents.

    "My name is Xia Xuan now." Xia Xuan said in the end.

    "You came here to use the chain." Dong Xue said again.

    "That''s right, we need to sell some spiritual medicines." Xia Xuan nodded his head, and then placed the storage rings on the table.

    Dong Xue still did not pay any attention to him, as she continued to process the documents, as if she did not know what Xia Xuan had said.

 C274

    Chapter 274 - Chain (2)

    The atmosphere became extremely awkward. Xia Xuan wanted to say something, but seeing Dong Xue in such a state, he did not know what to say.

    "No, I have to take over the home ground. It''s not good for me if this goes on." Xia Xuan thought in his heart, and was about to speak, but just at that moment, Dong Xue slammed the table, releasing a loud bang, causing him to not dare to speak again.

    "Ten thousand years ago, you were hiding this from me, right?" Dong Xue finally raised his head, revealing that slightly pale cheek of his. Even though Dong Xue''s current appearance was very slovenly and his face was pale white due to excessive exhaustion, one could still tell that Dong Xue was actually an extremely beautiful woman.

    "..." "That''s right." This time, Xia Xuan hesitated for a moment. When he said those words, even he himself felt a little regretful, but he knew that this was the only thing he could say.

    "Wang He." Dong Xue did not stand up abruptly, and shouted loudly.

    Then, the man in the suit appeared beside Xia Xuan out of thin air, bowed to him and said: "Tower Lord, what orders do you have?"

    "Sell these things in chains, at the highest price, as soon as possible." Dong Xue threw Xia Xuan''s storage rings back to the man in the suit, and said coldly.

    "Yes." The suited man easily took the storage rings and disappeared after replying.

    "This is the last time I''ll help you. Don''t come look for me in the future." Dong Xue said coldly as he sat back down and silently processed the documents. It seemed that he did not plan to bother with Xia Xuan anymore.

    "We have no other choice. We can only hide it from you." In the end, Xia Xuan could no longer endure and shouted at Dong Xue.

    Dong Xue acted as if she did not hear what Xia Xuan had said, as the documents on the table flipped quickly.

    "Creak" Xia Xuan clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn''t know what to say.

    Dong Xue flipped through the documents in her hands, while Xia Xuan remained motionless.

    The atmosphere was quiet for about an hour, when Wang He suddenly appeared beside Xia Xuan. In his hand was a gold storage ring, he held up the storage ring and said respectfully to Dong Xue: "Tower Lord, the sales are complete, all the money is here."

    "Give it to him. Let him take the money and leave. The Black Ease Tower will not receive him again." Dong Xue said directly without even raising his head.

    After Wang He heard this, he hesitated for a moment before giving the storage ring to Xia Xuan, then pulled Xia Xuan and left. Of course, Xia Xuan was naturally unwilling to leave. When he was being pulled by Wang He, he did not forget to turn back and look at Dong Xue, but in the end, he still left with Wang He.

    After Xia Xuan left, Dong Xue stopped flipping through the documents, and her large tears drooled. She hugged her fluffy hair, revealing a painful expression that did not belong to a person of her status.

    At the very bottom of the Black Ease Tower, Xia Xuan and Wang He who had left not long ago had returned. It was just that right now, Xia Xuan''s expression was a little gloomy, as if he was experiencing something bad.

    When they saw Xia Xuan''s expression, they vaguely guessed what had happened, but no one immediately went forward to speak up. Everyone just stood there and watched, quietly observing the situation.

    "Elder Yu, please don''t blame the Tower Lord. After all, that matter really is a bit ˇ­" Wang He rushed Xia Xuan, but did not know how to describe it in the end.

    "It''s fine, I won''t come back to this Black Ease Tower, help me pass on a sentence, ''from now on, we don''t owe each other anything''." With that, Xia Xuan walked out of the tower.

    Surrounded by so many people, the First Brother hurriedly returned the goods in his hand that he had yet to pay back to the seller. Then he and Little Zheng followed him.

    The rest of the people could not help but feel a little regretful as they watched the scene unfold. It seemed as if Xia Xuan and the Tower Lord had broken off.

    "Hey, what''s going on?" First brother quickly chased after Xia Xuan who had already walked out of the Black Ease Tower and pulled him back, and asked anxiously.

    "Dong Xue was really hurt too deeply. To her, not even a moment is painful." Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the top of the Black Ease Tower Tower, thinking back to Dong Xue''s previous appearance, she could not help but feel a sharp pain in her heart.

    "It''s a bit of a story. Is it convenient to reveal it?" The first brother asked Xia Xuan after seeing his expression, his expression becoming more serious.

    "Let''s go back and talk." Xia Xuan said simply before walking towards the distance again.

    Night was about to fall, and Xia Xuan and the first brother finally returned to Hua Chen''s store. At this time, a few tall and strong man s were standing at the entrance of the shop, all of them holding Weapons s, with ferocious looks on their faces. Three of them were familiar, as they were the three hoodlums that were chased away by Xia Xuan this morning.

    "When is boss coming?" One of the strongest man in the crowd seemed to be getting impatient as he asked the surrounding people.

    "Boss has been delayed, but he should be here soon." A man beside him replied.

    "We just joined not too long ago, so this is a good opportunity for us to show off. When we fight later, just put in some effort." The stocky man said again.

    "Yes." The others respectfully replied.

    "Big brother, he''s here." Just then, a disciple noticed Xia Xuan and his brother walking over from far away, and immediately spoke to the sturdy man.

    "Humph!" This daddy here is getting impatient. Brothers, cheer up. Let''s settle this matter before the boss arrives. " A smile appeared on the burly man''s face, the hands holding the large knife tightened, the group of people looked at Xia Xuan and First Brother evilly.

 C275

    Chapter 275 - Once (1)

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan walked over, but it was as if he did not see that group of people, and directly walked forward, with an imposing manner that seemed to say that he wanted to directly clash with them.

    Seeing this, the stocky man could not help but let out a sneer. After which, his gaze turned towards a similarly stocky man beside him.

    The man also looked over, revealing a smile of understanding, and then his gaze turned to Xia Xuan, and directly walked towards him.

    The distance between the two was very short, seeing that the two were about to collide, the brawny man s all revealed smiles of watching a show, one after the other, waiting for Xia Xuan and the others to make a fool of themselves.

    "Bang!" The two of them did not seem like an ordinary collision, when their shoulders met, a burst of spiritual energy pressure exploded out, but surprisingly, after the collision, Xia Xuan was still walking, but the tall and strong man was instead sent flying.

    The rest of the men were all shocked. The man being knocked away by Xia Xuan was a third stage Xuanzun cultivator, although he was still considered a small figure in the black market, it was still impossible for anyone to knock him away with just a single hit.

    After smashing into the flying male, Xia Xuan''s footsteps still did not stop. He continued to walk forward, with a large momentum giving him the feeling that whoever was sent flying would end up in the same state as the man who was knocked flying earlier.

    "Kid, you''re not apologizing even after bumping into someone?" The sturdy man leading the group roared at Xia Xuan.

    Xia Xuan''s footsteps stopped, the always lowering head suddenly raised, the ferocious binocular suddenly froze the sturdy man, a burst of killing intent that was so strong that it could suffocate people burst out, upon sensing the killing intent, everyone became unable to breathe for an instant, and even their hearts seemed to have stopped beating. If not for the fact that everyone was a Qi Cultivator, they would have already lost their lives.

    A path quietly opened up, and Xia Xuan walked straight towards Hua Chen''s store.

    The muscular man clenched his fist tightly. When Xia Xuan walked past him, he showed a sinister expression on his face as he clenched his fist so tightly that it creaked. He could clearly feel that Xia Xuan was just a Xuanhuang.

    "Kill him!" The sturdy man suddenly roared, this roar contained a large number of spiritual energy, when the voice carried the spiritual energy and entered other people''s ears, everyone recovered from the shock, all of their gazes immediately turned towards Xia Xuan who was walking, but no one dared to make a move.

    "What are you waiting for? Those who still want to continue, just do it." The sturdy man shouted again, and then the spiritual energy had already gathered in his palm, moving his body as he rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    When the others saw this, they no longer hesitated and immediately activated their spiritual energy s to charge towards Xia Xuan. The group attack of several Xuanzun Warriors could be said to be very imposing, but compared to Xia Xuan''s small and skinny body, these people were like a field of death.

    Just as the big sized men were about to pounce towards Xia Xuan, the scene of the gang up on him did not appear. Everyone had passed through Xia Xuan''s body, and everyone immediately bumped into him, but no one dared to stop their attacks. Everyone''s attacks all landed on their comrades, and everyone immediately fell onto the ground, as miserable cries sounded out.

    The only person still standing on the field was the burly man. When he saw his subordinates fall in an instant, he was shocked and a trace of fear flashed across his face.

    "Kid, don''t blame me if you want to die." Just then, Xia Xuan appeared behind the man like a ghost. He could clearly feel a killing intent, which caused the man to feel cold.

    A cold light quietly stuck onto the man''s neck. On the cold light, a spiritual energy was still circulating. Although the cold light had yet to take away his life, he could clearly feel the power that was gathering and preparing to be unleashed.

    "Kid, I am a member of the Hank gang. If you kill me, you won''t be able to stay in the black market." Killing people in the black market was not a crime, if he wanted to preserve his life, he could only do so by relying on a powerful force.

    "Hank ˇ­" Hearing that name, Xia Xuan hesitated, but after some hesitation, his killing intent did not decrease at all, and was about to make a move.

    Chapter 276 - Past (2)

    "Ping!" Right at this moment, a metal clanging sound rang out, and the broken blade in Xia Xuan''s hand was hit by a tiny flying needle.

    His gaze looked towards the direction where the flying needles were flying from, only to see that about a hundred meters away from Xia Xuan, there stood a young man. The man was dressed in red with a gigantic blood large knife behind him, and on his head were two large fox ears.

    When the surrounding people saw the red-clothed man, all of their faces were filled with fear. It was as if they had seen a fiend, all of them hiding far away.

    "I heard you came back. I don''t know if it''s true or not, but this killing intent seems to be true." The man in red had an unruly smile on his face, and everyone around him had a look of surprise on their faces.

    "Hank, it''s been so long, but you''re still like this." After seeing the man, Xia Xuan''s mood immediately became much better after getting involved in Dong Xue''s incident. She walked forward and wanted to hug the man.

    This scene caused everyone to be even more shocked. Hank was famous for his obsession with cleanliness, and no matter what power was in black market, they would not even be able to touch him, let alone hug him.

    Surprisingly, not only did Hank not reject him, he opened his arms wide and gave Xia Xuan a big hug.

    "Yu Ran, I really can''t recognize you like this, but your temperament is still the same as before." After the hug, Hao Ke continuously used up a large amount of the current Yu Ran. Compared to his previous life, if not for the fact that his temperament had not changed, he would not have recognized him.

    "It''s better not to call me Yu Ran, my name in this life is Xia Xuan." Xia Xuan smiled slightly, his gaze also similarly sizing up the Hao Ke in front of him. Compared to Xia Xuan, Hao Ke really hadn''t changed at all, after all, the life of a beastman was much longer than that of a Homo sapiens.

    "I heard that someone was causing trouble here. At first, I was thinking if it might be Hua Chen, but in the end, it was you brat, haha." Hao Ke laughed.

    "Haha, the person you sent was not bad at all. He was able to fight back so quickly with my killing intent. He''s a good material." Xia Xuan also laughed.

    Hearing this, Hao Ke couldn''t help but turn his gaze towards the muscular man. It seemed that once he shifted his gaze from Xia Xuan, he would become extremely cold.

    "High?" Hao Ke muttered, and then slowly walked towards the sturdy man.

    At this time, Gao Yin did not even dare raise his head, and from the looks of Xia Xuan and Hao Ke, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. Furthermore, he had just fought, and no one knew what kind of punishment he would receive now.

    "Kid, not bad, this time you''re going to get promoted to rank 3 first. In the future, work hard and you''ll get your own benefits." To Gao Ying''s surprise, Hao Ke actually had a hand on his shoulder, and spoke with a smile, unlike the Hao Ke that everyone would be afraid of.

    "Thank, thank you for your promotion, Boss." Although he was angry in his heart, he still spoke respectfully.

    "Why are you thanking me? "Thank you, this person. He was the one who promoted you." Hao Ke waved his hand and pointed to Xia Xuan. Then, he walked towards Hua Ji''s store.

    Seeing that, Gao Ying immediately turned to Xia Xuan and said respectfully: "Thank you, Sir, for your promotion."

    Xia Xuan did not say much. With a smile on his face, he patted Gao Yu''s shoulder and then followed Hao Ke towards Hua Chen''s store.

    Upon seeing this, Yi''ge also followed along. When he walked past Gao Han, Gao Yu immediately said respectfully, "Master, please take care of me in the future."

    Brother Yi nodded, then followed Xia Xuan into the shop.

    Watching the three of them enter the shop, Gao Dazhi''s face immediately turned serious, and he shouted to the others: "All of you stay here, boss is in the middle of a discussion, don''t let anyone disturb me."

    "Yes." The brawny man s responded with a shout and then lined up neatly on both sides of the store''s entrance. Anyone who saw this scene would be scared to the point of taking a detour.

    After entering the store, he looked the same as when he left. His gaze swept across the store and saw Hua Chen lying on a chair. The current Hua Chen looked extremely dispirited, a tinge of sadness hung on his face, as though he was a completely different person from the first time they had met.

    "Ai, brother, why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Seeing the current Hua Chen in such a state, Hao Ke could not help but sigh, and walked forward with the intention to pull Hua Chen up from his chair.

    The decadent Hua Chen was pulled back up by Hao Ke, but when Hao Ke let go of him, he immediately fell down again.

    "Xia Xuan, what exactly is the story between this Hua Chen and Dong Xue?" Seeing Hua Chen being so depressed, the first brother couldn''t help but ask Xia Xuan in a low voice.

    Xia Xuan glanced at the big brother, but didn''t say anything. He didn''t have any expression on his face, so he turned around to look at the decadent Hua Chen, and just as the first brother and Xia Xuan were unwilling to answer, a voice rang in his mind, "Ten thousand years ago, Hua Chen and Dong Xue were a couple. The relationship between the two of them could be said to be deep enough to consider the other party as their own life."

    A hint of surprise flashed across the first brother''s face. After which, he transmitted his voice: "Then how did they become like this?"

    "Because, long before they met, Hua Chen had already killed Dong Xue''s parents." What Xia Xuan said next shocked the first brother.

    Originally, the two who loved each other had an irreconcilable hatred between them. The two who had loved each other for ten thousand of years were not willing to kill each other, but because they could not continue to hate each other, it was indeed torture for the two of them.

 C277

    Chapter 277 - Plan (1)

    "Hao Ke, just let him be like that." Ignoring the surprised First Brother, Xia Xuan bellowed at Hao Ke, then sat down at a table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all by himself.

    Seeing that, Hao Ke hesitated for a while, then sat down and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.

    "Pa" After drinking the tea in his cup, with a pa sound, he placed the cup on the table. Xia Xuan''s expression became more serious as he stared at Hao Ke who was still drinking the tea: "I just returned from the Black Ease Tower."

    Hearing these words, Hao Ke stopped drinking his tea and slowly placed the cup on the table. A trace of sadness flashed past his eyes, thinking that in their group, Hua Chen and Dong Xue were the ones who caused the most jealousy, but now that they had become like this, it was unavoidable for them to sigh.

    "Did she also ban you? It''s been more than ten thousand years since we entered the Black Ease Tower, and when Dong Xue found out that she and Hua Chen had an irreconcilable enmity, she banned all of us from taking revenge on him." Hao Ke said.

    "That''s right, the ban is thorough. I think we need to gather everyone here." Xia Xuan nodded his head, after the serious fight a ruthless expression flashed across his face.

    "Leave it to me." Hao Ke said straightforwardly before he quickly walked out of the store. When he walked out, he heard the brawny man shouting.

    "Let''s go back to the gang." Hao Ke''s voice rang out again, and then, he walked far away amidst the waves of footsteps.

    After Hao Ke left, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the extremely depressed Hua Chen. He could not help but sigh, and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

    Not long after Hao Ke left, he returned, but this time, he was not alone. Beside him was another person, a man dressed in white, with a handsome face, looking like an ordinary person. However, when the surrounding people saw white-robed man, they all quickly shifted their gaze away.

    "Who is that?" After Hao Ke and the white-robed man left, some people in the crowd started whispering to each other.

    "You don''t even know this, one of them is Hao Ke, Sect Master Hao Ke, and the other is the renowned white feather of the white-clothed marquis." A knowledgeable person replied.

    Hao Ke and white feather quickly arrived in front of Hua Chen''s store. At this moment, Xia Xuan and the first brother were standing at the entrance, and the four people in the distance saw each other.

    "Big brother, long time no see." When white feather arrived, he immediately gave Xia Xuan a big hug, causing the people around him to be even more shocked. Especially the people who had seen Xia Xuan and Hao Ke''s hug before, they couldn''t help but swallow their Saliva.

    "Long time no see." He didn''t finish his sentence, but these simple words expressed a longing that he hadn''t felt in ten thousand years.

    Releasing Xia Xuan, white feather looked at him carefully before saying, "According to Hao Ke, you are Xia Xuan now?"

    "Yes." Xia Xuan nodded and said.

    "Yu Ran is much better. Xia Xuan''s name is just too common, haha." white feather suddenly teased, causing Xia Xuan''s face to be covered in black lines.

    "white feather, you''re still not that good at telling jokes." At this moment, another voice rang out, looking in the direction where the voice had come from. In the distance, there was a fat man about eight feet tall and eight feet wide, walking over slowly.

    "Owner Qian!" In black market, it could be said that no one did not know of Boss Qian. This was because in the entire black market, money was what everyone valued the most, and the richest person here was the President of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, the renowned Qian San Qian.

    The strongest member of the gang, Hao Ke, as well as the richest member of the trade union, Qian San, had the ability to assassinate Sect Leader s of various sects. It could be said that these three people represented half of the power of the entire black market.

    "How great your ten thousand years of development have been! I think everyone else is afraid of you. Isn''t this a bit too obvious?" Xia Xuan smiled and shifted his gaze towards the surrounding people. He had naturally caught the fear and shock on those people''s faces.

    "That seems to be the case. Why don''t we all go in and chat?" Hao Ke scratched his head and laughed.

    After that, Xia Xuan and his group entered Hua Chen''s Little Store, and saw the dispirited Hua Chen. white feather and Qian San could not help but shake their heads when they saw him.

 C278

    Chapter 278 - Plan (2)

    "Everyone, we need to think of a way to get Dong Xue out of the Black Ease Tower." When everyone sat down around a table, Xia Xuan said in a serious tone.

    "How do we get him out?" Hao Ke asked.

    "Soft first, then hard." Xia Xuan replied.

    "But we were all banned by her, we could not even enter the Black Ease Tower, how could we soften?" white feather asked.

    "No, not all of them. This brother doesn''t seem to have seen them before." Qian San suddenly pointed to the First Brother who had been silent all this time, and revealed the evil smile that a merchant should have.

    "Wait, what are you guys doing? I''m not familiar with that person." The First Brother, who had been watching the show, suddenly realized that the topic had changed to him. He immediately panicked and wanted to reject it, but the sinister expressions of the other four people slowly converged onto him.

    Night time was always the most lively time in the black market. When night fell, as the strongest power in the entire black market, Black Ease Tower s, it was only natural that it would be bustling with noise and excitement.

    Standing outside the Black Ease Tower, Number One''s face did not have the joy of coming here for the first time, there was only helplessness on it. The mission that Xia Xuan and the others gave him was just too difficult.

    "Whew, let''s go all out." He took a deep breath, and walked towards the Black Ease Tower, and when he reached the door, sure enough, two gatekeeper s stopped him.

    First Brother was not anxious and took out a book. This was brought over by Xia Xuan and company, they said that if ordinary people wanted to enter the Black Ease Tower, they only needed to show them this kind of thing. When the two gatekeeper saw this book, they let him in as usual.

    Entering the Black Ease Tower, the first brother was shocked, the Black Ease Tower at night seemed to have awakened compared to the daytime, they were still a group of black cloaked man on the first floor, every single person still had their own goods, but compared to the daytime, the number of people had increased by more than several fold, and with a sweep of his eyes, the number of items that could move the first brother was already countless.

    "Sir, why have you come?" Just as the First Brother was astonished by the Black Ease Tower at night, Wang He suddenly appeared beside him and asked the First Brother.

    "Why, the one you have banned is Yu Ran, not me, why can''t I come? I still have business to discuss with your Tower Lord." He put his hands on his hips and smiled.

    "This ˇ­" Wang He was rendered speechless by his brother''s words, so he could only say, "Then come with me." With that, Wang He led his brother and walked into the tower.

    As he followed Wang He, his eyes couldn''t help but be attracted by the surrounding goods. But now that he had an important matter on his mind, he could only reluctantly look away from those goods and follow Wang He.

    Very quickly, Wang He led the First Brother to a staircase. From there, they could reach the second floor of the Black Ease Tower.

    "Would you like to take a look around first or meet our Tower Lord directly?" Wang He said respectfully to the First Brother.

    "Let''s take a look." Yi''ge said nonchalantly.

    "Alright." Wang He responded and went up the stairs. When the First Brother saw this, he also followed. The surrounding people noticed that Wang He and the First Brother were walking towards the second floor. Envy filled their eyes under the black hat.

    "There is a hierarchy to every floor of the Black Ease Tower. Ordinary people can come to the first floor, but to reach the second floor, they need a certain status, so the status requirement for each floor will be higher by one level. You are probably an elder of the God-Slaying Manor, so with this status, you can enter the fifth floor." Wang He explained as he led the way.

    When the First Brother heard Wang He''s introduction, he couldn''t help but feel even more shocked. The people on the first floor were only ordinary people, but there were countless of items that could move his heart.

    "No wonder the Black Ease Tower are called the strongest power in the black market, they are indeed not simple." Brother Yi muttered to himself.

    Arriving at the second floor, what appeared in front of him was still a group of Black Man s, but the goods in their hands were all wrapped up in a crystal ball. Their gazes swept across the hands of the Black Man s, causing Number One to have the impulse to rush out and snatch the goods, but fortunately, he was still able to maintain his rationality and did not do anything out of line.

    "This is the second floor. Those who are able to come here are all elders or clan leaders from various sects and clans. In terms of quality goods, they are much better than those on the first floor." Wang He slowly explained.

    "Formidable, how did your Tower Master manage to maintain such a huge tower alone?" Yi''ge said in surprise. When Yu Ran had fallen, the left and right elders were in a state of internal strife and he was already physically and mentally exhausted to have to maintain a weak God-Slaying Manor. How could Dong Xue, a female, not have caused others to be shocked and impressed?

    "I think it''s better if I don''t visit. I''ll go see your Tower Lord directly." Yi''ge said with a sigh. He really did not dare to continue touring the area, afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation.

    "Alright." Wang He smiled slightly, and then placed his shoulder on Yi''ge''s body. A wave of spiritual energy fluctuation spread out, and immediately after, everything turned black, and in the next moment, he appeared in a pavilion, and in front of him was a door, which was Dong Xue''s room.

    "The Tower Lord is inside." After saying this, Wang He''s figure slowly faded away and he actually left.

    "Come in." From within the room, a cold voice rang out, and the door automatically opened.

    "Gulp." The big brother swallowed his Saliva and walked into the room. It was still the same as when Xia Xuan came over. In front of him, Dong Xue still had a head full of fluffy hair.

    "Pa!" After the first brother came in, Dong Xue slammed the pen in his hand onto the table, raised his head and looked at the first brother, then said with an ice-cold voice: "You two don''t need to use the soft to persuade me, I can''t possibly leave this place, and also, you were interested in those goods just now, right? Tell me their plan, and you can pick any ten items you want, what do you say?"

 C279

    Chapter 279 - Overturning the Heavens and Earth (1)

    First brother''s brow frowned, he never thought that Dong Xue would be so powerful. He had not even said anything, and everything else had already been guessed by Dong Xue, and he could even see that was drooling over those goods, and took out 10 items to bribe him. This woman was truly too dangerous, it was no wonder he could maintain her overbearing Black Ease Tower.

    The first brother felt helpless. He had already thought about it long ago, so there was no need to say anything. He immediately said: "I can tell you ˇ­"

    "Humph!" Are all the friends that Yu Ran makes this kind of greedy person? " Without waiting for the First Brother to finish speaking, Dong Xue snorted coldly and interrupted him.

    Brother One''s brow frowned again, and then said: "But I won''t take your reward, because we were going to use force first, and then use force. Now that the force is out of the question, we can only use force to drag you out."

    Dong Xue frowned, the binocular narrowed its eyes and made a dangerous arc, staring at Yi Ge and asked: "Why are you telling me?"

    "Humph!" The first brother sneered and then said, "Because the person who forcefully brought you out of the room was either me or someone else." After he finished speaking, a huge spiritual energy burst out from the body of the number one brother. The toughness of the spiritual energy gave Dong Xue a fright.

    The current Dong Xue''s strength was only at the second stage of the Profound Emperor. Although there were two elders in the tower who were at the sixth stage of the Profound Emperor, they had coveted for the position of Tower Master for a long time, so it was not certain that they would make a move.

    "This is my Black Ease Tower. If you dare to mess around, try me." He suddenly stood up, and the aura of a second rank Profound Emperor burst out without restraint. He hoped that he could withstand the pressure for a while, and wait for the arrival of the other elders in the tower.

    "Humph!" The first brother snorted coldly, and the spiritual energy in his body started to revolve frantically. Following after the release of the wave, he disappeared, and in the next moment, he reappeared behind Dong Xue as he grabbed towards Dong Xue''s neck with his palm full of spiritual energy.

    Sensing that the first brother had disappeared, Dong Xue felt a chill down his spine in the next moment. He knew that it was not good and immediately activated his spiritual energy, turning around and fiercely striking his back with his palm.

    The first brother''s palm just so happened to collide with Dong Xue''s palm, but with Dong Xue''s strength, she was basically unable to retaliate at all. Her entire body was instantly blown away, smashing apart the door, and even the walls of the pavilion in the end.

    The first brother wanted to chase after him, but the space in front of Dong Xue suddenly fluctuated for a bit, and then, Wang He stood in front of Dong Xue. At this moment, Wang He had also erupted with spiritual energy, and his aura had actually reached the peak of the first stage of Profound Emperor.

    "Wang He, why are you alone?" Dong Xue spat out a mouthful of blood and said to Wang He with much difficulty.

    "I don''t know. The elders don''t seem to be here." When he felt the strength of the first brother, he was also incomparably shocked. Originally, he had thought that even if it was an elder of the God-Slaying Manor, he should have only just broken through his Profound Emperor. However, the strength of this first brother seemed to be a little too terrifying.

    "Two old bums." Dong Xue cursed silently. She did not expect the two Clan Elders to not only not let her go, but they also forbid her from attacking anyone else. They were simply taking advantage of her situation, wanting to force her onto a dead end.

    Seeing that the newcomer was only a first stage Profound Emperor Wang He, he did not hesitate at all. The spiritual energy started to revolve and he disappeared, in the next moment he appeared in front of Wang He. The spiritual energy had condensed into a row of pike and directly pierced towards him.

    Wang He knew that he was no match for his first brother at all. Even if he were to face his first brother''s attack, he would be seriously injured. However, he would not dodge, because Dong Xue was right behind him.

    A light wall that seemed to have condensed into substance appeared in front of Wang He. When the spear tip of the pike stabbed onto the light wall, the entire light wall rippled, but was unable to pierce through the light wall in a short period of time.

    The corners of the First Brother''s mouth curled up in a smile. Sensing that smile, Wang He also felt that something was amiss. However, he did not know what was going on in his mind.

 C280

    Chapter 280 - Overturning the Heavens and Earth (2)

    Brother Yi would naturally not say what was on his mind. He immediately grabbed the pike and twisted fiercely, causing the pike to spin crazily. Like a drill, it wanted to break through the light wall.

    Under the crazy rotation of the pike, a crack actually appeared on the light wall, and the pike also pierced into the light wall. Although it had not pierced through the light wall, it was only a matter of time.

    He had already released all of the spiritual energy s. Naturally, he knew why the other elders did not come to help, but if he could endure for a period of time, then the elders would have no choice but to take action.

    After that, under Wang He''s surprised gaze, he saw that he had disappeared. He could clearly sense that there was a wave of a spiritual energy behind him, which meant that he had circled behind him.

    Wang He did not turn around to stop his brother. It was not that he did not want to, but he could not, because there was still a pike spinning non-stop in front of him, attempting to pierce through the light wall. Wang He was currently unable to move, because if he moved, the light wall would collapse. Not only would the unstoppable pike come at him, even Dong Xue behind him could not avoid it.

    At this time, the first brother had already appeared beside Dong Xue. Just as Dong Xue was about to circulate her spiritual energy s to resist, the first brother formed a sword shape with his fingers and quickly tapped on Dong Xue''s body a few times.

    The brother of the meridian that sealed Dong Xue did not dare hesitate at all. She immediately lifted Dong Xue with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist, before fiercely smashing it into the wall beside him. Immediately, half of the wall was powdered away. Looking back at the struggling Wang He, she couldn''t help but to laugh. Afterwards, she turned on her spiritual energy and flew towards the sky.

    Not long after Yi''ge left, the pike on the light wall disappeared. Since there was no more pike to threaten Wang Tuo, he immediately knelt down on the ground, with beads of sweat continuously falling from his forehead.

    Just at this moment, a few figures appeared in the pavilion. Those figures had extremely powerful auras, the majority of them belonged to the Profound Emperor level, and the weakest were at the Mysterious Sect realm. Numerous experts stood in front of Wang He. All of them had bitter expressions. If they had known that Wang He would give it his all, they would have attacked earlier. However, they had offended the Tower Lord.

    "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase him." Wang He raised his head and cursed at Elder Zhang.

    "We''ll chase them now." A white-haired elder answered and then activated his spiritual energy to chase after the direction where the first brother had escaped to.

    The sound of his fist shattering the top of the Black Ease Tower Tower was not small at all. Many people from black market immediately flew into the sky, and quite a few people from the Black Ease Tower also flew out, wanting to investigate what was going on.

    What followed closely after the first brother were light and shadows. What was shocking was that the auras of every single light and shadow were extremely strong, even the weakest were Mysterious Sect experts, and there were even more Profound Emperor experts. Although this kind of lineup could not be considered as being the supreme black market, it would not be a problem to walk unhindered within the black market.

    It was unknown whether it was because the First Brother was deliberately giving water or because he was not a match for the crowd, but not long after he flew out, he was surrounded by those elders. A formidable aura spread out and completely sealed off the escape route of the First Brother.

    "Scoundrel, why aren''t you letting the Tower Lord go yet?" A white-haired Old Man shouted angrily at First Brother.

    "Humph!" You want to keep me here with so few people? " The first brother snorted coldly, looking down on these elders.

    Amongst the elders present, there were five Profound Emperor experts and six Mysterious Sect experts. In terms of individual strength, Number One was the strongest, but everyone understood the principle of having more people and more strength. Of course, the current First Brother only emitted the aura of a fifth grade Profound Emperor. No one knew that the First Brother was actually a supreme expert who was at the peak of the ninth grade Profound Emperor.

    When the elders heard their brother''s arrogant words, they were so angry that their faces and necks turned red. They then activated their spiritual energy s and rushed towards him, these elders actually disregarded Dong Xue''s safety and wanted to defeat him.

    Seeing the actions of these elders, the first brother couldn''t help but reveal a smile, and his aura instantly soared. Although it hadn''t completely erupted yet, his aura had already reached the level of Profound Emperor of the seventh rank, and this powerful aura directly caused the elders to retreat.

    "Sister Dong Xue, see this? These are your tower elders. Why do I feel that only Wang and one of you are truly loyal to you? Being forced to back off, Yi''ge smiled at Dong Xue.

    "None of your business." Dong Xue, who had been held captive by the first brother until now, snorted angrily. She had long been on guard against these elders.

    "I never thought that the God-Slaying Manor would be able to bring out such a powerful elder after falling into poverty for such a long time. It really surprises us." Just then, a laugh sounded out. Looking towards the direction of the sound, he saw that two Old Man s had arrived at some point in time.

    One of the two Old Man s was dressed in white while the other was dressed in black. Although they were floating in the air, no one other than the First Brother could feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy, these two were the strongest trump cards Black Ease Tower had for the past ten thousand years.

    "Black and White Elder, why have all of you attacked only now?" Wang He flew over from afar. He came and scolded the black-and-white elder.

    "Humph!" Our business is not something that a junior like you can handle. " The black clothed black clothed black clothed elder snorted and then looked towards the direction of the black clothed elder brother. He loudly said, "Elders, attack together and capture this thief."

 C281

    Chapter 281 - Hua Chen Attacks (1)

    When they heard the black elder''s order, those elders also mustered up their courage. One by one, they gathered towards the black elder''s direction. There was a smile on their faces. With the black and white elder''s presence, they did not believe that the black elder could cause any more trouble.

    "Do you really think I''m a sick cat if a tiger doesn''t show off?" The first brother laughed unrestrainedly, and then a wave of spiritual energy surged out and fixed Dong Xue in the air. After that, another wave of spiritual energy condensed and formed into a pike, with the other hand holding onto the pike, a wave of spiritual energy rippled out from his body.

    In the next moment, he appeared in front of an elder whose strength was only at the Mysterious Sect. The pike in his hand released a cold light, and was about to stab towards the elder''s neck.

    The sudden change scared the elder. Facing the First Brother, he had no strength to fight back, and had no time to defend, when the first brother struck with the pike in his hands, he could only block in front of him with his hands, causing him to shut his eyes in fear.

    Just when the elder thought that he was about to die, the pike had not arrived yet. Opening his eyes, he saw that the black and white elder had already appeared in front of him.

    "Kid, don''t be too arrogant." While blocking the attack of the first brother, Elder Bai said while clenching his teeth.

    "Since you elders aren''t loyal, then I''ll just deal with a few of them and use them as a demonstration of my strength." The first brother laughed, and another wave of spiritual energy surged out. The aura of the pike suddenly rose greatly, and even if the left and right elders worked together, it would still be difficult to defend.

    "Humph!" The matters of our Black Ease Tower are not something that your God-Slaying Manor can handle. " The black elder scoffed coldly, after which he released a huge wave of spiritual energy, looking as though they were going to forcefully retaliate against First Brother''s attack.

    "Today, my God-Slaying Manor will take care of it." Suddenly, another voice came out, the voice was filled with unruliness, looking towards the direction of the voice, only to see that in the sky not far away, Xia Xuan was holding onto a flamethrower, smiling as he watched Yi Ge and the black and white clan elder face to face.

    "I wonder if we''re qualified to get involved." After that, Hao Ke, white feather and Qian San appeared behind Xia Xuan. The three of them had their hands folded across their chest and looked unrestrainedly at the black and white elders.

    "You, my Black Ease Tower will not let you go." The black elder said angrily, after that he began to operate the spiritual energy, wanting to settle the score with the white elder brother.

    Of course, before the black and white elders managed to settle the matter with the first brother, Xia Xuan and the other three had already started to move, charging towards the elders.

    Facing Hao Ke, white feather and Qian San, those elders had no way of resisting. One must know that they could become an overlord of a region of the black market because they relied on their own strength. In the black market, there was no such thing as making friends. Whoever had the toughest fist could have status and power.

    Of course, the limelight had not been completely snatched away by Hao Ke and the other two, and the person Xia Xuan was facing was also a Profound Emperor Ranker, he was still strong, but Xia Xuan still defeated him after using all his methods, and the only thing was that he himself was also severely injured.

    Not long after, only one out of the five Profound Emperor Elders remained, while the rest of the Mysterious Sect Elders were also casually taken care of by the four.

    "This ˇ­ Black and White Elders, this situation is not looking good." The remaining elder also felt fear. As he backed away, he spoke to the black and white elder.

    "You''ve gone too far. After capturing our Tower Master, you''ve come to deal with us instead." The Black and White Elder felt like they were riding a tiger and couldn''t back down. They immediately assumed the role of being bullied.

    Hearing that, Xia Xuan could not help but smile, looked at Yi Ge, and gave him a meaningful glance. The first brother who received the order retracted his attack, and instantly appeared beside Dong Xue. With a wave of his hand, he released the seal made by the meridian in Dong Xue''s body.

    After being cut off by the meridian, Dong Xue released a strong aura. She immediately wanted to rush towards Yi''ge, but after thinking about how strong Yi''ge was, she gave up.

    "Xue Er, I want to ask if you are going to pursue our responsibilities?" Xia Xuan came over to Dong Xue''s side and said with a smile.

    Dong Xue glared fiercely at Xia Xuan, she wanted nothing more than to tear Xue Er into pieces. However, she would not do that, so she took a deep breath and calmed her anger down, and then said to the black and white clan elder: The two of you do not support each other in time, and need to receive heavy punishment this time, in addition, I will not hold Xia Xuan accountable.

    Chapter 282 - Hua Chen Attacks (2)

    When he said that, the elders who were beaten to the point that they could not maintain their flight almost fell down from the sky. They did not expect Dong Xue to do this.

    "Tower Lord, we can only call you this now to save you some face. Do you really think we are afraid of you?" The black elder tore off his mask and said to Dong Xue. Then, the huge spiritual energy began to revolve, and charged straight at Dong Xue.

    Just at this moment, Xia Xuan and the others looked at each other, and everyone started to circulate their spiritual energy. However, they were not attacking the black and white elders, as they all flew off into the distance, as if they were about to leave.

    The sudden action of Xia Xuan and the rest also gave Dong Xue a big shock, but the black and white elders were all pleasantly surprised. They immediately activated their spiritual energy and rushed towards Dong Xue. With the strength of the black and white elders, they instantly arrived in front of Dong Xue.

    Right at this moment, Wang He appeared in front of Dong Xue, and the remaining spiritual energy also rushed out explosively. They gathered on his fists, and rushed straight towards the black and white elders claws.

    "Bang!" A huge explosion sounded and Wang He was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by the black and white elders.

    Dong Xue was shocked. Seeing that Wang He was about to smash onto the ground, a wave of spiritual energy rushed over and supported him, allowing Dong Xue to heave a sigh of relief.

    The black and white elders also saw Wang He''s situation, and their gazes shifted towards the source of the spiritual energy. In the distance, they saw First Brother, who had yet to leave, running the spiritual energy.

    "Tch!" The black and white clan elders stuttered, but they were still a little afraid, afraid that Xia Xuan and his men would turn around and capture them, because that would not be good.

    While feeling afraid in his heart, the black and white elder did not dare to hesitate in the slightest. He immediately turned his head to look at Dong Xue.

    This time, Dong Xue finally reacted. The spiritual energy frantically moved and gathered on both of its arms. It used its arms to block in front of its body and allowed the black and white elders to forcibly grab its arms.

    When the black and white elders'' claws landed on Dong Xue''s arms, the three spiritual energy s immediately exploded. Of course, the black and white elders did not have any effect on them at all, and was the one who could not withstand the immense power and flew out nearly a hundred meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

    "Resisting stubbornly." After that, the spiritual energy moved again. This time, the spiritual energy turned into a giant claw in front of Dong Xue, causing him to be greatly shocked.

    "Earth Ranked Martial Arts, are you sure we don''t need to use our hands against Xia Xuan?" It wasn''t that Earth Rank martial arts were impossible for Profound Emperor Rankers to defend against, but it was just that there was a huge difference in strength between the two of them and Dong Xue was still injured. If Dong Xue were to really suffer from this move, even if she didn''t die, he would only be able to take half a breath of air.

    "Don''t worry, someone will take action naturally. He is the strongest warrior in the black market." Xia Xuan waved his hand, there was no worry on his face, he did not believe that he could not force Hua Chen out.

    Elder Bai, who was in the sky, quickly finished condensing the giant claw. He immediately bellowed: "Spirit Stealing Claw!" Then, the giant claw condensed and rushed towards Dong Xue explosively. The powerful force made Dong Xue feel that the Death God had arrived.

    At that time, she was very happy. Even though she had experienced many hardships, in the end, she had a blissful life, and had found her other half. At this time, it was as if his back was already right in front of her eyes.

    "You were thinking about him even before you died, is it really ˇ­" Dong Xue had a smile on his face, and wanted to curse himself, but he did not utter a word. He could only close the binocular slowly, and wait for death to descend.

    "Die?" Could you possibly die? " Suddenly, a voice came out from the back of the figure in front of him, startling Dong Xue who had already closed her binocular. She hurriedly opened her binocular and discovered that the figure in front of him was not an illusory image, but a person!

    "Hua Chen." The one who had come was none other than Hua Chen. Even though he could only see the back of the figure, and the two of them had not met for many years, Dong Xue was still able to recognize that it was Hua Chen with a single glance.

    Hua Chen tilted his head a little, as if he wanted to look at Dong Xue, but in the end, he didn''t turn his head. Hua Chen slowly raised one of his hands, and then, it was as if time had stopped. The Spirit Stealing Claw unleashed by the White Elder was stopped in the air, no matter how powerful the Qi was emitted by the Spirit Stealing Claw, it was unable to move.

    "Why did you use such a method to force me to attack?" Hua Chen let out a light sigh, and then, he raised his hand and gripped it tightly, causing the Spirit Plunder to immediately explode. The spreading fluctuation of the spiritual energy caused the corners of his clothes to flutter about.

    Looking at Hua Chen''s back figure, Dong Xue thought back to ten thousand years ago, as if this man had always done this, always taking action to protect him at critical moments. That familiar back never would have been the back of the hero in her heart.

    "You two old bums, pay the price." After crushing the Spirit Stealing Claw with one palm, Hua Chen''s gaze suddenly turned towards the black and white elders. A wave of aura that was so enormous that even the color of the sky and earth changed explosively surged out, and the aura was so strong that it had actually reached the peak of the ninth level of Profound Emperor, just a step away from the Profound Master.

    After erupting with such a huge spiritual energy, Hua Chen''s entire being seemed to have changed. The heaven and earth spiritual energy began to gather towards it, giving it a huge boost like the aura of the emperor of the heaven and earth.

    Hua Chen raised his hand, and without holding back, the powerful aura of a ninth level Profound Emperor burst forth. The gigantic spiritual energy congealed behind Hua Chen, and actually transformed into a 30,000-meter long human silhouette.

    "Devil Statue Sacrifice to the Heavens." Hua Chen slowly spat out two words, after which the thirty thousand foot long devil statue waved its hands, fiercely clawing at the black and white elder.

    Facing such a demonic figure, the black and white Elders were so frightened that their legs had gone limp. Seeing the demonic statue''s big hands coming at them without any strength to resist, they could only wait for the big hands to grab them and then end their lives with a bang.

 C283

    Chapter 283 - Rich (1)

    When they saw Hua Chen defeating the black and white elders in one move, they were all shocked. The name of the black and white elders could be said to be known by everyone in the black market, and no one did not know of it. With the two of them working together, they could become enemies with the Profound Emperor of the seventh rank experts.

    "That was the Asura Demon Statue." It was unknown where someone in the city had called out this Heaven Ranked Divine Technique, which had once become famous in the black market. Even though this Divine Technique had not appeared for ten thousand years, it still could not submerge his prestige.

    The four words "Asura Demon Statue" quickly spread throughout black market, and everyone immediately guessed Hua Chen''s identity. No one knew why the once strongest expert of black market would suddenly appear. At that time, everyone thought that this genius that was rarely seen in ten thousand years had fallen.

    "You''re going a little too far." Hua Chen did not care about how restless the black market was. His gaze turned towards the distant Xia Xuan who was just about to sneak away.

    "Haha, Brother Hua Chen, we are doing this for your own good." Xia Xuan turned his head and smiled at Hua Chen. His smiling face did not have the grace of a Deicide.

    "All of you." Hua Chen was so angry that his teeth itched, but he did not teach Xia Xuan a lesson, because in his heart, he was secretly glad that Xia Xuan and his men had done such a thing.

    Hua Chen did not even turn his head around. He simply did not dare to do so because he was afraid that if he did turn around, that person would leave.

    "Hua Chen." Without waiting for Hua Chen to turn around, a gentle voice sounded out. That voice seemed to have touched the barrier in Hua Chen''s heart, causing him to be unable to endure any longer, he turned around and fiercely hugged Dong Xue, and tears started to roll down uncontrollably.

    "I''m sorry. I''ve been wrong all these years. Can you forgive me?" Dong Xue cried out.

    Hua Chen, who was holding Dong Xue, also shed tears. Right now, he was unable to speak, and the only thing he could do was to tightly hug Dong Xue, in order to express the feelings in his heart.

    At this time, in the distant horizon, a ray of light pierced through the clouds and shone on the black market. Then, the sun rose up from the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    "Alright, what is the proper behavior for this public meeting? Let''s hurry up and go back." Xia Xuan''s group of five flew over. Seeing the two crying in each other''s embrace, they could not help but reveal smiles on their faces.

    Xia Xuan and the others left, and the result was very good. Everyone was happy, Dong Xue and Hua Chen had gotten back together, and the black and white elder among the Black Ease Tower had also received a lesson.

    What he did not know was that inside the black market, in a huge mansion, there was a man sitting on a chair. The man could sense everything that happened above the Black Ease Tower, his face was extremely gloomy, his hands holding his chin, he was quietly thinking, and even though that was the case, the man''s powerful aura made the people around him feel extremely afraid.

    A few days later, the Black Ease Tower were still as lively as before, with many Black Man holding their own goods coming and going. The things that happened a few days ago had already completely calmed down, and everyone only knew that the previous number one expert of the black market had made his move, so this matter alone could not cause too much of a stir.

    This was not the highest level of the Black Ease Tower, there were a total of ten levels of Black Ease Tower and this was the ninth floor. Normally, the products that appeared here would cause countless powers to be jealous of them, but today, the ninth floor was not open to the public.

    "Be careful, the protagonist is about to appear." Hao Ke''s voice was loud, causing the atmosphere to become restless. Following the voice, numerous gazes turned towards the stairs, only to see Hua Chen slowly walking up.

    The current Hua Chen was dressed in a formal attire, his body was upright, and after activating the spiritual energy, his appearance had changed by several tens of years. He looked like he was only around twenty years old, if not for the fact that Xia Xuan and the others who knew him back then, they would not have been able to recognize him.

    "His demeanor hasn''t diminished at all." Looking at the current Hua Chen, Xia Xuan could not help but tease, but in terms of appearance, Hua Chen was the most handsome out of everyone present.

 C284

    Chapter 284 - Rich (2)

    "I can''t compare to you back then." Hua Chen also laughed.

    "Da!" Just at that time, footsteps rang out and everyone held their breath as they stared at the stairs. They saw a figure walk down from the tenth floor. Everyone was stunned when they saw that figure.

    The figure was dressed in white, with a long skirt trailing behind her. Her hands were held elegantly in front of her, no longer a fluffy head of hair, it was as if her long hair was brushed straight up to the floor. Her soft hair looked very beautiful, and she walked down the stairs with light steps.

    At this time, Hua Chen was at the stairs, waiting for Dong Xue to come over. However, he had already been struck dumb as he watched Dong Xue''s figure slowly walk down the stairs. He, who had been taken care of seriously, was still like ten thousand years ago, so beautiful, and so moving.

    "What are you looking at? Let''s go." Looking at the stupefied person in front of him, Dong Xue could not help but laugh, as he pulled Hua Chen''s arm and walked towards Xia Xuan and the others.

    Hua Chen was also cooperating very well, walking just like that, and the two of them looked like a perfect match.

    "I really have to thank everyone this time. If it wasn''t for you guys, we might never have gotten along." Dong Xue held onto Hua Chen''s arm tightly, his face actually turning red, and revealed a young girl''s bashful face.

    "Haha, that''s how it should be. That''s how it should be." Xia Xuan touched the back of his head and laughed. When the others saw this, they also laughed out loud. The atmosphere was quite joyous.

    "Xia Xuan, here are the resources that you need, I heard that there was a battle for the cactus not long ago, that the Immortal Seed must have been taken by you, and the resources that you exchanged with the funds were not enough to nurture the cactus, I believe you have prepared some other resources, but I still prepared some resources, just consider it as a gift." Dong Xue extended her hand, and in her hand was a storage ring lying quietly.

    Looking at the storage ring, his eyes showed gratitude, but at the same time he sighed in his heart. Compared to ten thousand years ago, the current Dong Xue was simply too smart, no matter what he did, he would be guessed at.

    Thank you then. When my God-Slaying Manor becomes the champion of the competition, you must come. Xia Xuan did not hold back, he took the storage ring and stayed in his hand, then cupped his hands towards Dong Xue and Hua Chen.

    "What are you talking about? Ten thousand years ago, we were already unable to differentiate between each other. Even if I were to give my life to you, we would be willing to do so." Hua Chen laughed.

    Everyone was laughing loudly, and the atmosphere was very happy. It was just that apart from being happy, no one noticed that at the staircase entrance, Wang He had already arrived at an unknown time, but he did not greet them, but stood there and watched them quietly. To be more accurate, he was quietly looking at Dong Xue.

    Wang He did not disturb everyone. After watching for a while, he silently walked down the stairs. However, his departing back looked somewhat sad.

    On a street not far from black market, Wang He walked silently. His expression was one of sorrow, and he did not look happy at all. The surrounding people recognized Wang He, and everyone knew his position in the Black Ease Tower.

    Wang He didn''t care about the people around him. He just walked in a depressed manner, but he didn''t notice that it was becoming quieter around him. There were less and less people around him, and it was as if he was distancing himself from the edge of the city.

    Finally, Wang He stopped. In front of him was a wall, blocking his path.

    When he looked up, Wang He realized that he had arrived at a dead end, and the place was sparsely populated. Normally, no one would come here.

    "Wang He, are you really willing?" Just as Wang He realized that something was wrong, a sinister laughter rang out.

    Wang He suddenly turned around and saw that at the far end of the alley, there was a black robe man standing.

    "Bei Qing, what are you doing?" The Black Ease Tower was not the strongest being in the black market, and there were many forces that stood shoulder to shoulder with it. The man named Bei Qing was the Sect Master of the Howling Firmament Sect, and his strength had long since reached the eighth level of Profound Emperor.

    "You protected her silently for several thousand years, and in the end, she is still with that Hua Chen. Are you really willing?" Bei Qing did not reply Wang He, and continued speaking in a gloomy voice, her voice was filled with Evil Qi.

    "Whether you want to or not has nothing to do with you, I advise you to leave quickly, this is the territory of my Black Ease Tower, it is not a good thing to cause a war between us." Wang He said angrily.

    "Don''t be anxious, I have something good that can allow you to unknowingly kill that person called Xia Xuan." As Bei Qing said that, he waved his hand, and a storage ring immediately flew towards Wang He.

    When Wang He heard that it was possible to unknowingly kill Xia Xuan, he wanted to catch his, but he immediately became vigilant. He did not believe that Bei Qing did not have any intentions.

    "Don''t be afraid, I just want to find out that person''s background and strength. You can take this opportunity to vent the anger in your heart, is that not good?" Bei Qing said in an evil voice, and when he finished, he too disappeared, leaving only the storage ring floating in front of Wang He.

    Seemingly influenced by the evil aura, an evil thought arose in Wang He''s heart. He actually accepted the storage ring as a sinister light flashed across his eyes.

    Amongst the Black Ease Tower, Xia Xuan came to the room that Dong Xue had arranged for him, and sat on his bed alone with a storage ring on his hand. Although Xia Xuan believed that the things that Dong Xue had given him were enough to cultivate his immortal seeds, he still had to see how much Dong Xue had given him, as it was a favor and he needed to know how big the favor was.

    The spiritual energy surged and wrapped the storage ring up, and then, Xia Xuan''s thread of consciousness floated into the storage ring, when he saw the scene inside, he sighed, Dong Xue had truly accumulated too much wealth in the last ten thousand years.

 C285

    Chapter 285 - Most Dangerous (1)

    As his consciousness slipped into the storage ring, Xia Xuan was truly shocked by Dong Xue''s wealth. In front of him was the mountain range of Ling Dan, this fist sized ball of light was the product of the spiritual energy''s concentration to the extreme, and to cultivate the cactus, the Ling Dan was the best choice.

    In the market, the price of a Ling Dan could already be considered a treasure grade, but the Ling Dan that were piled in front of him had already become a mountain. To cultivate half of their immortal seeds was enough, and the other half was probably given to Xia Xuan by Dong Xue.

    "I really don''t know how to repay this favor." Xia Xuan could not help but exclaim. The current God-Slaying Manor was in the midst of development, these Ling Dan were practically learning how to provide coal in the snow.

    While sighing, Xia Xuan looked up into the sky. Through the storage ring, Xia Xuan could feel the changes in the outside world, and immediately, the thread of consciousness turned into a ray of light and quickly left the storage ring, returning back to his body in a moment.

    "Creak." After regaining his senses, the door creaked open. Unsure of who it was, Xia Xuan hurriedly opened the binocular and turned to look at the door only to see Wang He standing at the door, maintaining his push on the door. He was surprised to find out that Xia Xuan had found him.

    "I was born on guard. I knew you were outside the door." Xia Xuan said first. In fact, he had already discovered Wang He outside the door long before his consciousness had sneaked into the storage ring, but he didn''t care about it at all. He didn''t expect that Wang He would take advantage of his awareness and sneak into the storage ring, but no one knew what his intentions were.

    "Actually, I was ordered to deliver something." Wang He smiled embarrassedly as he extended his hand. On his palm, there was a floating storage ring.

    "What is it?" Xia Xuan asked casually, but there was vigilance in his eyes.

    Wang He did not immediately reply. Instead, he walked into the room and closed the door before coming to Xia Xuan''s side. He said: "The Tower Lord said that this thing is very precious and can help you quickly raise your strength."

    "Stop pretending, Dong Xue knows my character. She wouldn''t give me such a thing." only heard Wang He''s lie in a day. Dong Xue knew herself so well, how could she possibly give this kind of thing that could forcefully raise her strength to him?

    "Humph!" "Be careful." Wang He snorted, and quickly pulled away from Xia Xuan, his face full of gloominess.

    "Are you really Wang He?" Xia Xuan stood up, and asked with furrowed brows.

    "It''s true." Wang He let out a cold snort. After that, the spiritual energy wrapped around the Storage Ring and an item flashed and appeared inside.

    It was a cauldron, a fiery red cauldron, and there were all sorts of flame patterns on it. It looked like it was truly a flame, and just a glance at it would cause one''s entire body to feel hot.

    The red cauldron appeared extremely quickly, even Xia Xuan was not able to react, a suction force suddenly erupted from the cauldron, and Xia Xuan who was locked on by the suction force was sucked into the cauldron.

    "Damn it, I hope no one noticed us just now." When the red cauldron landed, Wang He could not help but bite hard. He had initially wanted to take advantage of the moment when Xia Xuan''s consciousness was sneaking into the storage ring to suck Xia Xuan into the red cauldron, but he did not expect Xia Xuan to be so vigilant.

    After swearing, Wang Mu and the spiritual energy in his body surged and entered the red cauldron. Afterwards, the entire room became extremely quiet. There were no signs of any spiritual energy''s movements being emitted from the red cauldron.

    Not long after, two figures appeared outside Xia Xuan''s door at the same time. Those two were none other than the first brother and Hua Chen.

    "Why are you here?" Hua Chen asked immediately when he saw the first brother in shock.

    "I feel a weak fluctuation of the spiritual energy, this fluctuation is a little abnormal, let me take a look." Brother Yi answered. His gaze then turned to the closed door.

    Hua Chen''s gaze did not shift away from Number One, but continued to stare at him intently. With his ninth stage of Profound Emperor, he could only feel a hint of a spiritual energy''s fluctuation, but he did not expect that even Number One could feel it. He happily wondered just how strong this person''s true strength was.

    Of course, First Brother was completely focused on the room, and did not notice Hua Chen''s gaze at all.

    After feeling for a long time, Yi''ge didn''t sense any aura from the room, as if there was no one in the room at all.

    "Not good." Knowing that the matter wasn''t simple, Yi''ge immediately pushed open the door and discovered the flaming red cauldron in the room.

 C286

    Chapter 286 - Most Dangerous (2)

    "This is the Thousand Flames Cauldron!" The first brother did not recognize the cauldron, but Hua Chen recognized it immediately, and said: "This is the Howling Firmament Sect''s Bei Qing''s Weapons, why are you here?"

    "Thousand Flames Cauldron? is that thing that can trap people inside it and also completely block auras? " The first brother was shocked, even though he had been in the God-Slaying Manor for years, he could still hear the ears of the Thousand Flames Cauldron.

    Right now, looking at the red cauldron with an anxious expression, it was rumored that this Thousand Flames Cauldron had a Ten Thousand Flame Array hidden within. If the owner controlled the Ten Thousand Flame Array, his strength would skyrocket, and no one knew how much it had increased.

    "No, I have to go in." In the end, he could not endure it any longer and attempted to drill into the cauldron. However, he was blocked by a force.

    "It''s no use, the controller has blocked the cauldron. If he doesn''t undo it, even with our strength, we won''t be able to enter." Hua Chen sighed lightly, then walked to the side and drank a cup of tea.

    "Is there no other way?" Brother Yi hastily asked.

    "We can only wait for the controller to come out himself. Call Dong Xue and the others over, this is going to be a big problem." After he finished speaking, Hua Chen took a sip of tea, and his eyes revealed a sense of seriousness that did not seem like something he should have.

    Although the spiritual energy was dense, Xia Xuan did not dare to absorb it, because there was a kind of fire poison within the spiritual energy, and if he absorbed too much, it would poison him to death.

    As a result, Xia Xuan even sealed off the five hundred meridian, preventing the meridian from absorbing the spiritual energy by themselves.

    "Brat, since you''re so unlucky to have come here, don''t blame me for it. Blame it on you making Dong Xue and Hua Chen better together." A slightly angry voice rang out, only to see that in the sky, Wang He and the spiritual energy''s entire body were burning. When the surrounding spiritual energy saw him, all of them showed a submissive attitude, as if the current Wang He was the ruler of this world.

    "Aren''t you afraid of others coming?" Xia Xuan frowned.

    "What are you afraid of? This place has already been completely blocked off by me. With the strength of those people, they won''t be able to come in here. Wait for me to kill you to protect my hatred and then we''ll go out and die." Wang He said crazily, his binocular eyes also turned blood-red, looking full of Evil Qi.

    "Demonic Qi." Xia Xuan could see the evil aura in Wang He''s eyes with a glance, and immediately understood why Wang He turned into this state.

    Although Wang He''s own strength was only at the first stage of Xuanzun and was unable to cause any harm to Xia Xuan, with his addition, he had obtained a huge light formation that was emitting a strong light. With Xia Xuan''s experience, he was naturally able to identify the formation instantly, and was a powerful formation that could allow the controller''s strength to increase greatly.

    "My current strength is enough to rival a third stage Xuanzun. It''s time for your death." Wang He felt that the surrounding huge spiritual energy was filled with power.

    "Third-rank ˇ­" Xia Xuan was also shocked by these words, every stage of Profound Emperor level had a huge difference in strength. The current Xia Xuan could barely handle a second stage Profound Emperor, but to deal with a third stage Profound Emperor, there was a high chance of death.

    "Say goodbye." Wang He did not care about how surprised Xia Xuan was. Raising his palm, all the spiritual energy in the air stirred restlessly, the spiritual energy quickly gathered above his head, and one after another, the blood colored large knife congealed, as they pointed their sharp blades straight at Xia Xuan. Even when the large knife was just hovering in the air, Xia Xuan felt his scalp go numb.

    ''s current situation could be said to be extremely bad. In this place, he could not absorb the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, but he could still freely control it. Furthermore, Xia Xuan still had to resist the fire poison within the spiritual energy as well as Wang He''s attacks.

    The spiritual energy was secretly revolving in his body. The binocular was staring at Wang He, but ever since Xia Xuan had reincarnated, it had never seriously fought against him.

    Finally, Wang He and the hand that was raised up high descended, and then the large knife s that filled the sky started to get restless, the surrounding spiritual energy also started to run away, one after another sizzling sound could be heard as they all rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    With regards to the large knife that filled the sky, even with Xia Xuan''s strength, he was unable to defend against them. Furthermore, forcefully resisting them consumed a large amount of spiritual energy s, so without the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy to replenish, it was not appropriate for him to waste a large amount of spiritual energy s. As a result, Xia Xuan did not plan to receive them head on.

    After Xia Xuan disappeared, the large knife also lost their target and directly stuck themselves into the ground. Cracks immediately appeared, but very quickly, a force of energy was used to repair the ground.

    The large knife that was stabbed into the ground slowly turned into spiritual energy, floating in the air and once again transformed into Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. These spiritual energy could be moved by King and Earth spiritual energy at any time, it could be said that King and his endless spiritual energy were here.

    After Xia Xuan disappeared, he never appeared again. No matter how you felt or felt, Xia Xuan seemed to have just vanished into thin air. There was only the tiny remnants of the Lightning''s power left in the air, and Xia Xuan''s speed had already reached its limit.

    Back then, Xia Xuan had already cultivated the fourth stage of the flash lightning, so it would definitely be extremely terrifying if he were to display his full speed. Furthermore, the fourth stage of the flash lightning had the ability to escape into space, which made it difficult for even Profound Emperor experts to find any traces of it.

    Just as Wang He was looking around for traces of Xia Xuan, the space behind him suddenly distorted, and then a ghost-like figure appeared behind him, releasing a cold killing intent.

    If it was any ordinary person, such a sneak attack would definitely be fatal, but Wang He who was using the power of the Ten Thousand Flame Array was far superior to Xia Xuan. The moment Xia Xuan came into contact with the array, he reacted and turned around immediately.

    Xia Xuan also did not expect Wang He''s reaction to be so fast, and immediately turned his body, instantly landing several hundred meters away from Wang He.

    When Xia Xuan landed on the ground, the corner of Wang He''s mouth curled into a smile. When Xia Xuan saw that smile, he instantly felt that something was amiss, but before he could even circulate his body, a spiritual energy cage had trapped Xia Xuan.

 C287

    Chapter 287 - Awakening (1)

    "Haha, a dignified Deicide like you was actually captured by me. I wonder what you think right now?" Wang He looked at Xia Xuan who was like a beast in prison and could not help but laugh smugly. His smile was filled with satisfaction, and he purposely said that if the people of the world knew that he had captured the Deicide alive, Wang He''s reputation would definitely go up in smoke.

    This person usually hid too much light aura around Dong Xue. If it wasn''t for Dong Xue, maybe there would be a place for Wang He in the black market.

    "Say goodbye to this world." After laughing complacently, Wang He''s face turned extremely sinister. He raised his hand suddenly, and the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy started to stir, as countless spiritual energy gathered above his head, and turned into a fiery red spiritual energy cloud. Even before the cloud layer was formed, a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire space.

    Staring at Wang He in the sky, the only thing that Xia Xuan could think of was to seek Peng Hong for help, at that time, even the soul of the Deicide and the soul of the Soldier King would be useless.

    "Peng Hong, can you help?" Xia Xuan shouted in his heart, and that voice revealed a rare hint of anxiety. It was only Xia Xuan who was normally calm and collected, but now he had no choice but to panic.

    "You block first. If you really can''t withstand it, I''ll make my move." Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong''s lazy voice sounded out.

    "How am I supposed to defend against this? This is simply a dead end, okay?" Xia Xuan''s voice became louder, he never thought that Peng Hong would be so careless at a time like this.

    "Kid, if you want to escape from this little difficulty, do you think you''re worthy to receive Master''s inheritance?" Peng Hong''s expression suddenly became extremely serious, and when Xia Xuan saw the expression in Peng Hong''s eyes, he suddenly had a thought, he had to muster his courage and fight against Wang He''s attack.

    Xia Xuan did not ask for Peng Hong''s help anymore, his eyes were fixated on Wang He with a hint of resolution in his eyes. He still wanted to take revenge against the Celestial King, also wanted to pass on the Lord of the Five Realms''s Tao technique, and also wanted to eliminate the Exotic Devil King.

    With a reason to persevere in his heart, the anxiety in Xia Xuan''s heart disappeared, and a surge of blood aura spread out from his body. That kind of aura that belonged to a great general, was the possession that indicated the soul of the Deicide. At the same time, a burst of Soldier King Qi spread out. But because the soul of the Deicide was already an possessed body, Xia Xuan could only use the power of the Soldier King now.

    "It''s useless to put up a resistance. The current you is not my match at all." Wang He naturally noticed the change in Xia Xuan and also guessed why Xia Xuan had changed so much. He immediately shouted crazily.

    Right after he shouted, Wang He and the raised hand suddenly swung down, and the clouds in the sky started to frantically spin, turning into a ten feet long spiritual energy. As the Giant dragon rolled around, the space started to distort, and even the Giant dragon started to exhale, as if it was not formed from the spiritual energy, but a true Giant dragon.

    After rolling for a long time, the Giant dragon finally started to revolve its body and rush towards the ground where Xia Xuan was. The dragon that was opened had the largest power possible to swallow the heavens, and compared to the hundred thousand meter tall Giant dragon, Xia Xuan was as small as a speck of dust.

    Before the Giant dragon had landed, Xia Xuan was already prepared to meet it head-on. The Zhenghu blood armor was already attached to him, and the Book of Blood Light shone brightly beside him without stinginess, while the two Great God souls also lent Xia Xuan their full strength. The flamethrower was tightly clenched, but their sweat had already soaked their palms, if they were not nervous, it was fake, as this was a life and death situation.

    "Die!" A king and a berserk roar sounded out, and then, the Giant dragon wrapped Xia Xuan within it. However, the completely submerged image did not appear, and after the Giant dragon swallowed Xia Xuan''s cage, it let out a shattering sound.

    After the cage shattered, the Giant dragon was unable to advance any further, as if something was blocking the way for the Giant dragon.

    "Bang!" A loud explosive sound came out, and then the dragon head actually exploded, and when the Giant dragon rushed up to him, many other explosions sounded as well, as tens of thousands of feet of Giant dragon s exploded from the start to the end. That scene was extremely spectacular, but there were countless dangers beneath the spectacular sight, as if the Giant dragon was alive and dying.

 C288

    Chapter 288 - Awakening (2)

    When the Giant dragon had completely exploded, Xia Xuan''s figure was also revealed. It was just that the current Xia Xuan was kneeling on the ground, his clothes were in complete disarray, and even the Zhenghu blood armor close to his body was filled with wounds.

    The current Xia Xuan couldn''t even use the flash lightning, so it could be said that as the Deicide, even if he was killed by the Celestial King, he would not be in such a sorry state.

    "Resisting stubbornly." He never thought that Xia Xuan would actually be able to withstand this attack. One must know that this was a spiritual energy that had gathered the entire world, and even with his current strength, it was difficult for him to defend against it.

    "What is it? Just this much power? It''s not enough. " Xia Xuan crawled up from the ground while trembling. Although he was already covered in wounds, his face still revealed a smile.

    "You will die in the end. What are you resisting for?" He was naturally able to see that the current Xia Xuan was already at the end of his rope, making it easy for him to obtain Deicide s.

    Once again raising his hand, he saw that the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy had once again condensed into a thirty thousand meter tall Giant dragon. No matter how hard he tried to block it, it was useless.

    The thug waved his hand once more, and the thirty thousand foot long Giant dragon rushed explosively towards Xia Xuan again. Even if it was not trapped in the cage, Xia Xuan was still unable to escape. He immediately straightened his body, and threw a few Pills into his mouth and started circulating the little bit of spiritual energy that was left inside his body.

    The Giant dragon''s speed was extremely fast, so even though its distance from Xia Xuan was very far, when Xia Xuan finished his defensive maneuvers, the Giant dragon had already opened its mouth wide and was about to bite Xia Xuan.

    "Bang!" The sound of the spiritual energy''s explosion came out again, but this time, the dragon head did not explode, but continued to wear down Xia Xuan''s remaining spiritual energy s in the form of the spiritual energy''s charge.

    The Pills that he had just swallowed also started to show its effects, bit by bit, the spiritual energy also appeared on the surface of the dantian, but this small amount of spiritual energy was simply unable to satisfy Xia Xuan''s consumption. Xia Xuan was about to collapse, dying under the Giant dragon''s charge.

    Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong couldn''t help but to nod his head in satisfaction when he saw this scene. It could be said that resisting the first attack from the Giant dragon was already not easy, and now that he had endured for so long, in Peng Hong''s heart, he was already qualified.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to faint due to the exhaustion of the spiritual energy, a burst of power suddenly surged out, and then, as though Xia Xuan had become a different person, he erupted with an unimaginable power, causing the entire Giant dragon to explode in an instant. Furthermore, the spiritual energy that had exploded after the Giant dragon exploded did not merge with the heaven and earth, but was instead imprisoned by some kind of power.

    "Who are you?" Wang He naturally saw that Xia Xuan was being controlled by someone, but with his experience, he could not determine who it was.

    "Kid, I don''t want you to die, so please pass out first." Peng Hong did not answer Wang He''s question. Instead, he raised his left hand, and used it on the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy that he had imprisoned previously.

    When the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy trapped the king, even with Wang He''s current strength, he could not break free in the slightest, and the pressure from the spiritual energy was getting stronger and stronger. When the strength reached a certain point, Wang He actually fainted.

    At this time, the outside world was in an uproar. The five great forces, Black Ease Tower, Hao Ke''s Gang, white feather Hall, and Myriad Miracle Commerce had all gathered a large amount of men and women. As long as anything happened to Xia Xuan, they would flatten the Howling Firmament Sect.

    In Xia Xuan''s room, the Thousand Flames Cauldron was still quietly lying on the ground. Dong Xue, Hao Ke, white feather, Qian San as well as First Brother and Hua Chen were all anxiously waiting.

    "If it doesn''t work out, then I''ll lead the army and destroy the Howling Firmament Sect." Hao Ke was finally unable to endure it any longer and was about to leave. However, before he could even take a few steps, the white feather pulled him back and advised: "Don''t be rash, the Howling Firmament Sect is not some soft persimmon. Don''t act recklessly before you don''t know whether Xia Xuan is dead or alive."

    "But it''s been so long, how could you all have the patience to wait any longer? I can''t take this lying down. Today, the Howling Firmament Sect will be destroyed." Hao Ke clenched his teeth, the atmosphere was not like what he, a dignified gang leader Hao Ke, should have.

    At this time, the Thousand Flames Cauldron that had been still the entire time suddenly emitted a wave of spiritual energy, attracting everyone''s attention. Under the gazes of everyone, two figures suddenly flew out from the Thousand Flames Cauldron. Those two were none other than Xia Xuan and Wang He.

    When they saw Xia Xuan, everyone surged forward at once. When they saw the sinister injuries on his body, they were greatly shocked, and then, one by one, their gazes shifted towards Wang He.

    Hao Ke who had the most explosive temper immediately could not endure it anymore, the spiritual energy in his hands had already condensed into a desire to kill Wang He.

    Suddenly, a big fat hand grabbed onto Hao Ke. It was Qian San, who stopped him, and Hao Ke immediately asked: "Qian San, what are you doing?"

    Qian San did not answer, he only lightly shook his head, and then looked at Hao Ke, indicating him to look at him.

    Hao Ke immediately understood and turned his head to look at Xia Xuan. He only saw that Xia Xuan was already awake, but because of the severity of his injuries, he was unable to speak loudly. He gently raised his hand, as if wanting to stop Hao Ke.

    "Don''t kill him. He''s been controlled by someone. Wait until I recover, then we can plan our next move." Xia Xuan used his last bit of strength, but his voice was still soft. After speaking, he passed out as if he was completely exhausted.

    Everyone looked at each other. Although Xia Xuan''s voice was soft, everyone still heard it, and based on the Thousand Flames Cauldron, they could guess who controlled Wang He. It was also because people would forget about its dignity after the lion had been asleep for too long.

    Chapter 289 - Rising winds and rolling clouds (1)

    Xia Xuan''s coma lasted for several days, and after waiting for several days, many people could no longer hold it in. Many people wanted to immediately send troops to flatten the Howling Firmament Sect, but they were all stopped.

    Another ten days had passed, and Xia Xuan, who had been unconscious all this time, suddenly moved. A wave of spiritual energy came out of his body, causing the wave from the spiritual energy to cause his bed to collapse.

    "Ah ~" A groan could be heard as a figure crawled up from within the collapsed bed. The maidservant who was serving at the side was quite frightened as she understood how important this person was. If something were to happen to him, then he would have to account for it with his life.

    "This time around, it''s truly a blessing in disguise. My cultivation actually broke through." After standing up, Xia Xuan held his hand and felt the enormous spiritual energy in his body. Right now, his cultivation had actually broken through to the third stage of Xuanhuang, it could be said that if every time he experienced this kind of training, he would be able to raise his strength by so much.

    "What''s going on?" Xia Xuan''s movements were naturally the focus of attention of the entire Black Ease Tower. When there was movement from there, Hua Chen and the rest immediately rushed over. When they saw the collapsed bed, they thought that it was an attack, but when they saw Xia Xuan standing at the side, they immediately understood.

    "Kid, your strength is rising quite fast." Hua Chen saw through the difference between Xia Xuan and the past with a glance, and immediately said happily.

    "It''s not enough yet. I need even more power." Xia Xuan smiled, a look of longing could be seen in his eyes, looking forward to the day when he would once again become a Deicide.

    "Right, can you tell me what exactly happened this time?" Dong Xue thought about Wang He''s attack on Xia Xuan and asked immediately. Dong Xue knew that Wang He had been loyal for thousands of years, she did not believe that Wang He would attack Xia Xuan for no reason.

    "Naturally, it''s the Howling Firmament Sect. This time, we might have to fight them." Xia Xuan withdrew the smile on his face, but what replaced it was a look of seriousness. A mere Howling Firmament Sect naturally wasn''t much, but Xia Xuan had something else in mind.

    But when Xia Xuan said that he wanted to start a war with the Howling Firmament Sect, he sensed a hint of bitterness on their faces, as if they had just eaten something.

    "What''s wrong? What happened? " Xia Xuan knew that his comrades would definitely not hold back. If they were to go against the Howling Firmament Sect, they would definitely bring out all of their troops, but right now, everyone was acting like this, as if something had happened.

    "Hai." Everyone lamented with a sigh, and each one of their faces had a hint of bitterness, with no one replying to Xia Xuan.

    "Let me say it. Not long ago, Bei Qing came by once, and said that he wanted to take away the Thousand Flames Cauldron, and no one here can beat him. However, he left before he even got the Thousand Flames Cauldron, and it felt like he was here to show us his might," Hua Chen sighed lightly.

    "No, I can clearly feel an extremely evil power coming from him. Someone is definitely up to no good." Brother Yi seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "After that evil aura disappeared, he immediately fled."

    "Demonic Qi ˇ­" Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, the brow frowned, after sleeping for a while, it said, "You guys wait for me for a few days, I have a way to deal with Bei Qing." With that, Xia Xuan activated his spiritual energy and left, leaving behind the stupefied expressions of everyone in the room.

    Xia Xuan had left for another half a month. During this time, the Howling Firmament Sect had already gathered the other powerful forces in the black market and was preparing to fight the Black Ease Tower to the death.

    At the highest level of the Black Ease Tower, Dong Xue and the rest were discussing about the war with the Bloodthirsty Sect, and just at this moment, a voice sounded out. "You can attack the Howling Firmament Sect now, I am on my way back."

    Hearing this voice, everyone''s face revealed a hint of joy, this voice was none other than Xia Xuan.

    "Great! I can finally start fighting. My hands have been itching for a long time now." Hao Ke said excitedly. His fists were clenched tightly because he was so excited that his entire body was trembling.

    "What are you so excited about? You killed the most during that fight." Hua Chen voiced out his warning.

 C290

    Chapter 290 - Rising Wind and Surge (2)

    "Didn''t I say that I''m afraid of blood splattering all over me? It''s not like you don''t know my obsession with cleanliness." Hao Ke said in distress, causing the people in the room to laugh.

    It could be said that today was the busiest day in the entire black market for the past hundreds of thousands of years, and as long as it was a slightly famous power, then they would all go into action. Today''s battle would decide who was in charge in the future, and at such a time, everyone would naturally be busy forming their own teams.

    When both armies finished assembling, and started to move, the entire black market began to tremble, and the rumbling sounds of their steps could be heard even from outside the black market.

    The final gathering place for both armies was a place called the Armageddon Plaza. This was because the black market was a place for business, and the people here didn''t wish to fight. However, if they really wanted to settle the dispute using force, they would come to the Fighting Plaza, and it didn''t matter how you fought here, since it was decided that the war would be fought here.

    When the two armies gathered at the Grudge Square, even the square, which was three thousand feet wide, was unable to contain everything. The initial confrontation scared the surrounding people, who had originally intended to watch a show, and they hurriedly fled.

    However, looking at the two parties, and the Howling Firmament Sect, it seemed that Bei Qing charging in alone into the Black Ease Tower and defeating all the Black Ease Tower experts and then retreating had a huge impact on the people''s team.

    In front of the Howling Firmament Sect, Bei Qing''s entire body was surrounded by an evil aura, and the smile on his face looked a little evil.

    "Dong Xue, with so few people, how can you have the courage to make an enemy out of me? Bei Qing smiled charmingly.

    "Humph!" Do you think we have no way of dealing with you? " Dong Xue snorted coldly, but did not immediately give the order to start the battle. Since Xia Xuan had not returned yet, she did not know how long it would take for him to arrive.

    "What is it? Still waiting for the kid to come back? I''m afraid that even if he comes, it would be of no use. He would be severely injured by a mere king, what kind of trouble would he cause? " Bei Qing saw through Dong Xue''s thoughts and laughed. At the same time, he raised his hand.

    Under the stares from the crowd, the large hand suddenly swung down and everyone''s heart skipped a beat.

    "Kill!" The Howling Firmament Sect people suddenly roared, and then aggressively rushed towards the Black Ease Tower''s side. The ten thousand strong momentum immediately suppressed the Black Ease Tower''s side.

    "Let''s go." Dong Xue''s face turned gloomy, she knew that she was at a disadvantage, but she could not retreat, all she could do was wait for Xia Xuan to arrive.

    As the two armies collided with each other, miserable screams immediately sounded out. Countless amounts of blood flew in all directions. The chaotic situation was simply unspeakable.

    It was Hua Chen and the rest, at this time, Hua Chen and the rest of the Profound Emperor s had already played a crucial role. It had to be said that there was a saying in the Tian Lin Continent, "If a person''s strength is strong enough, it''s not impossible to turn the tide of a war."

    Thus, numbers could not determine the outcome of the battle. What actually decided the outcome of the battle were the Profound Emperor level of both sides.

    Of course, Profound Emperor Rankers were not something that could be found anywhere. In the entire black market, there were no more than thirty who had reached the Profound Emperor realm, and more than half of the Rankers were actually Black Ease Tower s.

    In this kind of situation, Hao Ke, white feather, Qian San and a few other Black Ease Tower elders had all found an opponent with similar strength. Only the first brother and Hua Chen moved together, and their opponents were Bei Qing.

    In this free-for-all, only Hua Chen, First Brother, and Bei Qing were ignored by everyone. It could be said that these three people were the three strongest people in the entire black market.

    "Brother Yi, shouldn''t you be displaying your true strength?" Hua Chen suddenly said as he stood in confrontation with Bei Qing. Hua Chen had always believed that the First Brother''s strength was not limited to just Profound Emperor of the seventh rank, and that the person had definitely hidden his true strength, even though he had still revealed his true strength when Bei Qing was attempting the Black Ease Tower, Hua Chen still did not believe him.

    "Humph!" "Quite impressive." The first brother laughed and no longer hid his strength. His body shook and the strength of a peak ninth grade Profound Emperor burst out.

    Feeling the aura the first brother had released, Hua Chen couldn''t help but be shocked. Although the first brother also had a ninth stage Profound Emperor, there was a heaven and earth difference between them and the first brother''s strength was far greater than his. This kind of strength couldn''t even be called a ninth stage Profound Emperor anymore.

    "I didn''t expect you to have such experts." , who was also in a confrontation in the distance, was also greatly shocked. With his current strength, ordinary half-step Profound Master was not something to be afraid of, but if Hua Chen was added in, he would be at fifty percent open.

    "If you know what I''m afraid of, then just surrender. Otherwise, you won''t even know how you died." With his personality, if Xia Xuan did not not casually reveal his true strength, he would not have hidden it at all.

    "If you have some strength, then be arrogant and conceited. Pay the price." However, it was difficult for Bei Qing to be afraid. He said those words in disdain, and then activated his spiritual energy, directly rushing towards the two of them.

    "Don''t go all out, wait for Xia Xuan to come back." Just then, Dong Xue''s voice sounded, reminding the two of them.

    The two of them nodded slightly, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time. Then, they rushed towards Bei Qing.

    The three of them did not stop for even a second. They rotated their bodies and simultaneously flew towards the sky. As they flew, they would constantly collide with each other. Every time they collided, it would cause space to fluctuate and it would soon become unbearable.

    Very quickly, the three of them flew up into the sky. People with their naked eyes could hardly observe them, but that did not stop the progress of the war. The two armies were still fighting, and today, a storm was brewing.

 C291

    Chapter 291 - Trust (1)

    When the three of them flew high into the sky, the battle between the two armies became even more intense. Miserable screams sounded unceasingly, it could be said that the battle today had caused the black market''s overall strength to drop by more than half.

    On the ground, Dong Xue did not join the battle.

    Standing there quietly, Dong Xue''s eyes were filled with worry. If Xia Xuan did not return in time, they would be at a disadvantage, and losing was only a matter of time. Although Xia Xuan was very weak, and even if she wanted to challenge someone stronger than him, she believed that as long as Xia Xuan came back, they would be able to turn the situation around.

    In the sky, the battle between the three was exceptionally intense, and every time they collided, spatial ripples would spread out, along with the appearance of spatial rifts. One had to know that spatial rifts could only be torn apart by Profound Master experts, so the dangers of the three could be imagined.

    "Whooosh." After exchanging a fierce blow, the gap between the three of them widened, and Hua Cheng Chen started to pant. Although First Brother and he could cooperate to fight against Bei Qing, this did not mean that they could defeat Bei Qing, but this did not mean that under the passage of time, Hua Chen, whose strength was merely at the ninth stage of Profound Emperor, would still be exhausted, and it would become more and more disadvantageous for them.

    "Is that not okay? Didn''t you want to play with me? Show me some skills. " Seeing that Hua Chen''s situation was not good, a smug look surfaced on Bei Qing''s face. In his eyes, the victory in this battle was already in his grasp, he could already imagine himself dominating the black market in the future.

    "You should rest first, I''ll fight him." As he said that, he started to revolve the spiritual energy again.

    "No need, I have to hold on until Xia Xuan returns. He must have a way to turn the situation around." However, Hua Chen showed an expression of refusal to lose, and also activated his spiritual energy, the aura was so strong that it was not the least bit weak compared to when he was at his peak.

    "You trust him that much?" He never thought that Hua Chen''s relationship with one another was so good that he would actually be able to hold the victor of such a war in his hands.

    "In that case, let''s go." The First Brother revealed a rare smile on his face. After exchanging a glance with Hua Chen, he activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards Bei Chen.

    "Stubborn fool." Bei Qing said disdainfully, then activated his spiritual energy and welcomed the attack without the slightest fear.

    The three of them clashed, and immediately, a wave of spiritual energy explosions occurred. Surprisingly, a human figure flew out, and that person was none other than Hua Chen.

    At this time, Yi''ge had always been punching Bei Qing, but Bei Qing managed to block it, and gathered all of his power into Hua Chen''s body.

    Bei Chen was not stupid, he knew that the First Brother was not his match, if not for Hua Chen, the war would have ended long ago. If he could take''s punch and finish him off, it would be for the best.

    "Pfft." Of course, Bei Chen was not made of steel. After being hit by Yi Fazi''s punch, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

    ''s full-powered attack could be said to have broken Hua Chen''s defense in an instant. Right now, he was in a coma, and was falling straight down to the ground. If Yi''ge did not care about this, Hua Chen would definitely die.

    The first brother''s speed was very fast, in a blink of an eye, he caught Hua Chen. Seeing that Hua Chen was unconscious, the gingiva could not help but bite hard and fiercely cast its gaze at Bei Qing.

    "Fighting with me, you''re still a bit too inexperienced." Bei Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking pleased with himself.

    "Humph!" How can you fight against me after receiving such heavy injuries? " The first brother released a wave of spiritual energy s, held Hua Chen up in the air and coldly said to Bei Qing.

    "Since I dare to take your attack head on, I naturally have my own methods." Bei Qing laughed, then suddenly, the Evil Qi surrounding him started to revolve frantically, gradually fusing with his body, the Evil Qi which was slightly sluggish due to his injuries, quickly recovered, and compared to before, it was still increasing.

    "You ˇ­" The First Brother, seeing the situation, was immediately shocked. He never thought that this Bei Chen would have such a method up his sleeve.

    "Hee." Bei Qing laughed complacently, after that he erupted with spiritual energy that soared to the sky, and rushed towards the big brother.

 C292

    Chapter 292 - Trust (2)

    "Damn it." First brother secretly cursed, and then, without hesitation, he activated his spiritual energy and welcomed Bei Qing.

    The two of them clashed fiercely, and a wave of spiritual energy rippled outwards. Although Brother Yi was strong enough to fight against Bei Qing, he was still clearly at a disadvantage, and would not be able to fight for long before being defeated.

    "Bang." In the end, he could not withstand that powerful force and spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body had been sent flying by Bei Qing''s palm for dozens of meters, barely managing to stabilize his body, but the blood in his body was still roiling, and he had to barely maintain his flight.

    Of course, Bei Qing was not completely fine, he had suffered some injuries in order to beat Yi''ge up to his current state, but compared to Yi''ge''s injuries, Bei Qing''s injuries were negligible.

    After wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, Bei Qing couldn''t help but reveal a complacent expression. The current situation was already clear, once Yi Yeyu loses, this war would be over with a speed that could destroy rotten weeds. At that time, the entire black market would be decided by his Howling Firmament Sect.

    "How is it? Your Xia Xuan still hasn''t appeared. I think he must be scared from the beating. " Bei Qing said proudly.

    "I have always believed that he would come." Brother gingiva clenched his teeth and clenched his fists until they creaked, while his heart was filled with unwillingness.

    "There''s no need to say anything else. Go and die." In the end, Bei Qing did not delay any further. spiritual energy condensed on his fist, and when the spiritual energy had condensed to a certain degree, he suddenly waved his hand, and a black spiritual energy group rushed towards First Brother.

    With his current condition, there was no way for him to defend against this kind of attack. If he was hit, he would die without a doubt.

    The binocular slowly closed its doors. The first brother didn''t even plan on resisting anymore and prepared to wait for death to come.

    "Xia Xuan, the rest is up to you." Yi Tian muttered with his eyes closed. That light was so strong that it caused the entire black market to be illuminated. Under the light, the clouds and mist in the sky all dispersed, and even the Black Spiritual Qi that had arrived in front of First Brother had disappeared.

    "Old fart, my brother is someone you can kill as well?" A voice filled with anger rang out. The voice was wrapped in spiritual energy and spread throughout the entire black market.

    In the Teenage''s hands, a fireball was currently emitting dazzling rays of light, causing Xia Xuan to look like a sun. Just glancing at him made him feel like his eyes were about to be pierced.

    "Heart of Flame!" How could you have the heart of Yan Yang? " Seeing the light sphere in Xia Xuan''s hands, Bei Qing immediately shouted out, while at the same time, the Evil Qi surrounding his body also dissipated at a visible rate, the powerful aura also quickly became sluggish, in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the eighth stage of Profound Emperor.

    At the same time, the First Brother''s injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a short moment, he looked as if nothing had happened.

    "The most effective way to deal with the power of the evil god is through the power of the flame sun." Seeing this situation, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but smile. For the sake of the Flaming Yang Heart, he had sold all of Deicide''s face, which was why he had borrowed the Flaming Yang Mansion''s Flaming Yang Heart.

    "Senior Bing, what are you waiting for?" Bei Qing knew that he had lost all of his power, and if he did not use his trump card, he would probably die here today.

    "Swish." The moment Bei Qing''s voice fell, a sonic boom sounded out, and everyone in black market could see a black ball of air suddenly shooting towards the sky at a speed comparable to the speed of light.

    In the blink of an eye, the ball of black aura had arrived in front of Bei Qing. Although the black aura was dissipating with a speed visible to the naked eye under the illumination of the Yan Yang Heart, the black aura seemed to have an unending stream of black aura which would not dissipate no matter how much light it gave off.

    "Boy, you''re quite capable to be able to borrow Yan Yang''s Heart, but it doesn''t seem to be enough to reverse the situation." A mocking voice resounded from the black ball of air.

    "I assume you must be Evil God Manor Elder Bing Beitian." Although it was only a ball of black energy in front of him, Xia Xuan could still guess who it was.

    "So what if you''ve guessed? Next year, today will be the day you die." The voice from the ball of air was not the slightest bit surprised. Instead, it was extremely arrogant.

    "Do you know this thing?" Xia Xuan had a smile on his face as he raised his hand. On his hand, a shrinking Thousand Flames Cauldron floated.

    "Are you going to use this broken ding as a trump card?" A cold laughter came out from the ball of air, filled with disdain for Xia Xuan who took out the Thousand Flames Cauldron in the battle.

    "Of course I don''t expect me to defeat you with the Thousand Flames Cauldron. I only need to trap you." Xia Xuan laughed, and then, with a violent wave of his hand, the Thousand Flames Cauldron grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it had grown to become thirty thousand meters large.

    "First brother, I''ll leave Bei Qing to you, I believe it would be easy to deal with him without any Evil Qi." Xia Xuan said to First Brother, then activated spiritual energy and went back inside the Thousand Flames Cauldron, immediately everyone''s gaze was focused on the cauldron, but there were no movements from the cauldron, so everyone''s gaze turned towards First Brother and Bei Qing.

    Everyone could see that Bei Qing was not a match for the First Brother, so the battle might end soon.

    "You''re courting death. Senior Bei is a first stage Profound Master, you won''t be able to defeat him." Bei Qing said to the first brother with his teeth bared.

    "You don''t have to worry about that. The victor of this war is us." First brother wasn''t worried in the slightest. Since Xia Xuan dared to absorb the North Ice Master into the Thousand Flames Cauldron, then he must have a way to solve the problem.

    A wave of spiritual energy condensed in the hands of the first brother, and slowly walked towards Bei Qing.

 C293

    Chapter 293 - Repatriation (1)

    It was still that space, a fiery world. The air was filled with violent spiritual energy, and there was even a large amount of fire poison mixed within.

    To Xia Xuan, the most important thing that the Thousand Flames Cauldron had in mind was not the Ten Thousand Flame Array, but the ability that the Thousand Flames Cauldron had trapped him in. As long as the Weapons''s master was still around, even half-step Profound Master experts would not be able to leave. Of course, to a true Profound Master Ranker like Bing Beitian, it was nothing. If Xia Xuan was left alone, the Thousand Flames Cauldron would probably be forcefully destroyed sooner or later.

    In the days since he had left the black market, other than borrowing the Flame Yang''s Heart, Xia Xuan had also refined the Thousand Flames Cauldron. He had also spent a lot of time erasing Bei Qing''s Dragon Soul Imprint.

    Standing on the Ten Thousand Flames Array, the black fog surrounding Bing Beitian had already dissipated. What appeared was a face that did not seem old, and the whiteness of her skin was practically as cold as the expression in her eyes of ice. Her long hair extended to her waist, and if she did not know this person, Xia Xuan would definitely think that Bing Beitian was a beauty that would not appear in the world.

    He knew that Xia Xuan had pulled him here for some sort of purpose, which meant that he did not need to go out at all, that Xia Xuan would immediately follow him in.

    As expected, Bing Beitian only looked around, and before he could take a good look at his surroundings, a figure of light flashed past. Looking towards the figure of light, he saw that Xia Xuan was holding onto the Heart of Flame, and appeared about a hundred meters away from Bing Beitian.

    "Brat, you dragged me here. Don''t tell me you want others to not be able to see your miserable death?" Bing Beitian teased.

    "Humph!" Bing Bei Tian, do you know what it means to have someone above you, to have someone beyond you? " Xia Xuan let out a cold snort, the Flaming Sun Heart in his hand was still radiating light, but light and darkness were rivals in life. To Bing Beitian, the power of the Flaming Sun was not something he could withstand.

    "If it were ten thousand years ago, you wouldn''t even be bothered about the Celestial King. But now, you are just trash who can injure even the King and become seriously injured." Bing Bei Tian laughed mockingly, and did not hear Xia Xuan''s words at all.

    "Maybe you''ll see." Xia Xuan could not help but sigh. Then, a fierce aura surged into his eyes, as countless spiritual energy s poured into Yan Yang''s heart, causing the light of Yan Yang''s heart to immediately become even brighter. Even with Bing Bei Tian''s strength, he was unable to completely defend against the terrifying light.

    "Kid, this is still not enough." Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped because a figure of light had appeared before him. It was a gigantic figure of light that was burning with terrifying flames.

    "This is the image of Flaming Sun God." Bing Beitian said in surprise. It could be said that anyone in the Evil God Manor would recognize that image because there was one of the biggest enemies in the The Divine Realm and that person was the Flame Sun God.

    Although it was just an image, Bing Beitian clearly knew that he was no match for it. It was only then did he realize that Xia Xuan had not borrowed the heart of the ordinary Flaming Sun, it was the heart of all the Flaming Sun family members, the treasures of the Flaming Sun family, the divine object that contained a tenth of the power of the Flaming Sun God.

    "You can actually borrow a mother''s heart!" At the same time, he kneeled down on the ground. Under the powerful aura and pressure of the image of the sun god, Bing Beitian didn''t have any thoughts of resisting at all.

    "The evil god gave you guys enough confidence to look down on the other Divine General Palaces, but he didn''t teach you guys a price to pay for that confidence." Xia Xuan said in a cold voice, and then, with a sudden wave of his hand, the image of the Flaming Sun God fiercely rushed towards Northern Ice Sky.

    When a person was in a life or death situation, their desire to live would always suppress their fear. Even the long-time high above Evil God Manor, Bing Beitian, was no exception. Seeing that Yan Yang''s divine image was about to close in, Bing Beitian suddenly channeled her spiritual energy and a group of dark spiritual energy charged towards Yan Yang''s divine image.

    Of course, it was useless to fight against the image. The image did not move at all and continued to charge towards Bing Beitian without losing any of its momentum.

    "AHH!"

 C294

    Chapter 294 - Repatriation (2)

    "Fortunately, Flame Sun God is one of the Gods of Rebel. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t be able to borrow his mother''s heart." Xia Xuan looked at the Flaming Sun Heart in his hand and couldn''t help but smile.

    At this time, in the outside world, the battle between the first brother and Bei Qing had not even been ten rounds when Bei Qing was defeated. Following that, the morale of the Whistling Sect''s side plummeted greatly, and with Hao Ke and the rest of the Profound Emperor suppressing them, the Whistling Sect''s side had become more and more disadvantaged.

    "Kill!" Within the army, Hao Ke shouted loudly. Like a madman, he moved his body and rushed towards the enemies. Under his attacks, those enemies fell down one by one like cabbages.

    That was to prevent the enemy''s blood from splattering on him. In the thousand years of killing, Hao Ke''s condition had never changed, which was also why every time Hao Ke fought a war, he looked very imposing, but the number of people he killed was not the most. It was to prevent the enemy''s blood from splattering on him.

    Just as he had struck down a portion of the group, a figure dressed in white flashed by. Following which, hundreds of people in front of him fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it was unknown how many of them were defeated. Hao Ke knew that the person was the white feather, the strongest assassin in the black market. Although the white feather killed soundlessly, the number of people they killed was definitely the most.

    In the blink of an eye, they turned to look at Qian San''s group. Although, because of Qian San''s fat body, even though he had the strength of a Profound Emperor rank, he could not kill anyone around him.

    In this situation, the already weaker Howling Firmament Sect retreated like a receding tide. Not long after, they were all about to leave the plaza.

    Just at that moment, the Thousand Flames Cauldron in the sky suddenly released a spiritual energy wave, and a figure was thrown out of the Thousand Flames Cauldron, falling straight to the ground. Like a shooting star, the figure smashed into the ground, right on the Howling Firmament Sect''s retreat path.

    "Bing Bei Tian, Bei Qing has already lost, do you still want to resist?" A voice that was wrapped in spiritual energy s spread throughout the entire black market. When everyone looked towards the direction of the voice, they only saw that in the distant sky, Xia Xuan had appeared out of nowhere. The Thousand Flames Cauldron had turned into a fist the size of his hand as it floated in his palm.

    "Clang!" One by one, the weapons fell to the ground, and the Howling Firmament Sect''s men gave up on resisting. One by one, they threw their weapons down and knelt on the ground, clutching their heads.

    Standing in the air, Xia Xuan''s gaze could not help but turn towards the first brother. Coincidentally, the first brother was also looking at him, so the two of them couldn''t help but look at each other and smile.

    In the next few days, Black Ease Tower and other great powers split up the Howling Firmament Sect as well as the territories that they had helped the Howling Firmament Sect in. It could be said that some people were so happy that they could not even close their mouths, and some even dispersed their wives in grief. Of course, Xia Xuan did not care about all this, he estimated that a month had already passed, and something big was about to happen.

    Outside the Black Ease Tower, Xia Xuan and the first brother had a difficult farewell with the rest of the people before they finally channeled their spiritual energy and flew into the sky.

    Looking at the figure of Xia Xuan and the first brother leaving, every one of them had a trace of reluctance. They were thinking back to how happy they were when they challenged the world ten thousand years ago with Yu Ran.

    In the Evil God Manor, when one of the Old Man heard what the other Old Man said, the teacup in his hand suddenly exploded, and his eyes could not help but burn with an intense rage.

    "Deicide! Just you wait, I will definitely remove your God-Slaying Manor from the competition. " Old Man said angrily. The image of Deicide seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and it could be said that he hated this Deicide to the depths of his bones.

    Although Xia Xuan had not returned for nearly a month, this did not stop the disciples from cultivating. Under the suppression of countless elders, the disciples'' strength had more than doubled.

    "Ah, why is my lord not back yet. There are only a couple of days left before the Academy Competition." An Elder in the manor sighed.

    "What''s there to be anxious about? I can already feel their auras." At the same time, he turned his gaze towards a direction in the sky, where the wooden beam of light had already stopped moving.

    The other elders also looked over when they saw this.

    Not long after, a crack suddenly appeared in the protective light shield covering the entire God-Slaying Manor. Although the crack was small enough to fit two people, countless eyes were immediately on it, because the crack was right in front of the right clan elder''s eyes.

    Not long after, two figures walked out from the passage. Those two figures were none other than the returning Xia Xuan and the first brother.

    At this time, the disciples also discovered Xia Xuan and the first brother, and everyone immediately turned to look at them. All of them held their breath, waiting for news from Xia Xuan.

    "Hmm. We have enough resources. " Xia Xuan said loudly. On your face, there was a joy that came from the bottom of your heart, and when the disciples around heard it, their cheers spread throughout the entire Deicide, causing even the God-Slaying Manor to tremble, as though they were rejoicing.

    On top of a tall mountain, Xia Xuan and the Right Clan Elder stood side by side. In front of them was a small sapling, that was precisely the cactus sapling that was raised using immortal seeds. It was just that because it did not have sufficient resources, the current sapling was still too small.

    "With the support of the Time Mansion and the people from the Furious Flame Mansion, we can barely raise them to this big." The right elder sighed and said.

    "Now we do not need anyone''s assistance. The Deicide Talisman will definitely regain its glory in the future." Xia Xuan said firmly. A storage ring floated on his hand, and following the circulation of the spiritual energy, countless Ling Dan rushed towards the cactus sapling like floodwaters.

 C295

    Chapter 295 - Courtyard Competition (1)

    Ling Dan s were like a flood as they watered the cactus sapling. However, as soon as the Ling Dan s approached the sapling, they turned into waves of spiritual energy s that were absorbed by the sapling.

    "It seems like he''s really hungry." The right senior elder stroked his beard and chuckled.

    Ling Dan was unceasingly watering the sapling, and the sapling was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just an hour, the sapling had grown to the size of an adult. Above the cactus, little flower buds were already appearing on the tree.

    "Since cactus have grown to such a large assembly, they should have a period of accumulation of energy. Before the competition begins, they should bear some fruits." Xia Xuan stared at the cactus and muttered.

    "The Immortal Fruit is extremely powerful, maybe we can use it in this competition." The right elder also said. Then, a smile appeared on both of their faces.

    The next few days, God-Slaying Manor was in full swing. With the resources that Xia Xuan had brought back, the disciples'' cultivation speed could be said to have been raised by more than multiple times. Furthermore, it was on the third day after Xia Xuan returned that the cactus took action.

    The reason why cactus s were coveted by countless people was because of the great power contained within the immortal fruit. This power was definitely not something that ordinary elixirs could compare with.

    "This time, there are a total of twenty-four cactus. In order to encourage disciples to cultivate, I have decided to give all twenty of them to the outstanding disciples. As for the other four, I will give them to you." The right senior elder looked at the 24 immortal fruits lying on the table in front of him with a hint of gratification in his eyes.

    "For what?" Xia Xuan who was at the side could not help but ask after hearing what the Right Clan Elder said.

    "It''s not like you don''t know the power of the Celestial Fruit. Whether or not you can win this year''s competition is up to you. If four Celestial Fruits can change the outcome, why not?" The right elder replied.

    Xia Xuan thought for a moment, then no longer refused, and with a wave of his hand, four of the smallest immortal fruits was placed into his storage ring.

    "In the future, you still have to have your own Ling He, or else you won''t be able to support the growth of cactus." Right now, the God-Slaying Manor was simply too poor. Xia Xuan could obtain the resources to raise the cactus, but he could not support its growth. In the future, he would need a large amount of resources.

    "Speaking of resources, there are a lot of them in The Spiritual World, it''s just that we can''t get in." The right clan elder said while stroking his beard. In his mind, he looked forward to the The Spiritual World with the most abundant resources in the entire Mainland, but after thinking about it, he felt a touch of regret. In the entire Mainland, there were countless people coveting the resources of the The Spiritual World, but the number of people who dared to barge in were extremely few, even him was no exception.

    "There will be resources. We only need to prepare well for tomorrow''s competition. We should quickly send these immortal fruits to the disciples." With that, Xia Xuan turned and left.

    Afterwards, the Right Elder gave out the immortal fruit to the disciples. After promising that the fruits would reward the outstanding disciples, the disciples'' cultivation had become even more fervent, and everyone was actively trying to show that they could also obtain a fruit that could be called the most precious treasure in the world in the near future.

    On the second day, Xia Xuan woke up early and stood in the air above God-Slaying Manor. Beside him were Wang Hao, Su Bing, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue. These past few days, Wang Hao and the rest had been training in seclusion, the God-Slaying Manor had provided them with a large amount of resources, all for today''s competition.

    After regaining the Shrine, everyone''s cultivation speed had increased by a lot compared to before. With the addition of a large amount of resources, everyone''s strength had increased by a lot. Although it had only been a month, their cultivation had increased by a lot.

    Come to think of it, although the strength of the six of them was originally off, they had simultaneously broken through Xuanzun. Now that all six of them, without exception, were Mysterious Sect Warriors, in addition to the change in their physiques after obtaining the Shrine and the soul that they could use at any time, they were not afraid in the slightest when facing off against a fourth stage Mysterious Sect expert alone.

    This team of six strong people, who were comparable to fourth stage Mysterious Sect, and Xia Xuan, whose strength was basically not weak, could not be considered weak. Of course, if they really were to participate in the Academy Battle Competition, this team would not be enough to guarantee victory. This was because the Academy Battle Competition was extremely cruel.

    Soon enough, all the disciples gathered and the various elders of the Palace also arrived. Under the gazes of anticipation, the right clan elder slowly walked in front of Xia Xuan and the others, stroked his pale white beard and said: "Disciples, today is the day of the competition, and the seven people behind me are the Participant s of the competition."

 C296

    Chapter 296 - Courtyard Competition (2)

    As he spoke, the right clan elder took a few steps back, revealing Xia Xuan''s group of seven. The disciples'' gazes towards Xia Xuan were filled with envy and longing. Seeing the disciples, Xia Xuan and the others couldn''t help but straighten their chests, trying their best to look more like an example.

    "It''s getting late, let''s go." Looking at the time, the right senior elder said and waved his hand, causing the light shield to disappear.

    "Let''s go." The right clan elder turned to look at Xia Xuan and said respectfully.

    "Brother Yi, I''ll have to trouble you to take care of little Zheng." At the same time, his gaze could not help but turn towards the little Zheng who was at the side. Without stopping for much longer, he flew off with the Right Clan Elder, and Wang Hao and the rest followed closely behind.

    The competition was not held in any mansion, because no mansion could withstand the damage caused by the fights between the disciples. The Academy Battle Competition was not held in some desolate wilderness. There was an independent space called Wanyuan Ridge, which was where the Myriad Courtyard Competition was held.

    Under the watch of many gazes, Xia Xuan and the rest gradually walked away. The competition had decided the future of the God-Slaying Manor, if one was unable to win the championship, in the future, no one would be able to join the God-Slaying Manor. But if they won, a large number of people would come for them, and only when the God-Slaying Manor was prosperous would they truly rise again.

    There was only one entrance to the Wanyuan Ridge and this entrance was located at a place called Ten Thousand House Valley. Usually, there weren''t many people here and there weren''t any spirit beast either.

    When the sun rose from the horizon, there were people who broke the three year silence. Each of the Palace Elders brought the carefully chosen disciples of the Palace over, and those powerful auras and arrogant faces gave the Ten Thousand Court Valley a lot of vitality.

    In the morning, many Divine General Palaces had arrived, but they did not immediately enter the Wanyuan Ridge. They were waiting for the hosts of the Myriad Courtyard Competition to open the entrance.

    "Swish" a sound of wind breaking sounded out, attracting many people''s attention. From the distant horizon, a few figures were quickly flying over, and only when they got near, were they able to see that they were Xia Xuan and the rest.

    With regards to the God-Slaying Manor, many elders of the Divine General''s Estate were extremely disdainful. After glancing at it, they turned their gazes away.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan and his group arrived at the place where the crowd was gathered. Standing in the air, they swept their eyes across the crowd and saw Xue Qing and Old Yao. At this time, Blood qing and Elder Yao had brought along their Palace disciples. They had noticed the arrival of Xia Xuan and the others and were about to step forward to greet them.

    "Yo, isn''t he someone from the God-Slaying Manor, why hasn''t the name of this mansion been removed?" Before Xue Qing and Elder Yao could greet them, a sarcastic voice sounded. Hearing the voice, Xia Xuan could not help but crease his eyebrows at the brow, looking towards his figure, he saw a group of people dressed in Evil God Manor attire looking at him with disdain.

    "Elder Bing, take care of your people." The Right Clan Elder said to a Old Man in the crowd. The Old Man was also dressed in black, and there was an article on his chest that had the word "Evil" carved onto it. It was clear that this person was also from the Evil God Manor, and his identity was also very interesting.

    "Children are really naughty, please forgive them." However, Icemountain had no intention of stopping them, and his face revealed a mocking smile.

    The Right Clan Elder was so angry that the gingiva was biting him, but he couldn''t do anything to them. The Evil God Manor was still very powerful in the general palaces of the various Great God s, and the current God-Slaying Manor didn''t have the strength to fight against the Evil God Manor.

    "Look at the people your God-Slaying Manor has sent. Seven Mysterious Sect s who have just been promoted, and even your Xuanhuang s have been sent out, there really is no one else in your God-Slaying Manor. " Seeing this situation, the disciples of the Evil God Manor were even more arrogant.

    "Sigh, since Elder Bing can''t control it, then I''ll discipline it on your behalf." Wang Hao and Xia Xuan looked at each other, and when they saw Xia Xuan gently nodding his head, a hint of a smile surfaced on their faces, and they immediately walked towards the Evil God Manor disciple who had just spoke.

    "Tsk, you think a first rank Mysterious Sect has the qualifications to teach me a lesson? Today, I will let you know the price of not knowing your place. " That disciple was extremely disdainful towards Wang Hao. In his opinion, his own strength at the peak of the first stage of Mysterious Sect was not something that Wang Hao could compare with, so he immediately went forward to teach Wang Hao a lesson.

    "Bang!" Unexpectedly, Wang Hao suddenly punched out, the disciple originally wanted to punch him, but when he received the punch, he was unable to defend against Wang Hao''s powerful force.

    "Brat, you''re courting death." Seeing that, Bing Lencang who was at the side immediately activated his spiritual energy and wanted to beat Wang Hao up, but right after he arrived in front of Wang Hao, a figure appeared. That figure was none other than the Right Clan Elder.

    The Right Clan Elder clenched his right hand, and Icemountain''s hand that was going to dig out Wang Hao''s heart was grabbed, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless.

    "Ice Lengcang, if the tiger doesn''t show his might, don''t take me for a sick cat." The right elder snorted angrily and threw Icemist''s hand away.

    The current God-Slaying Manor was indeed weak, but the right clan elder was not weak at all. No matter which Divine General''s estate it was, it was difficult to find someone who could make an enemy out of the right clan elder. If it wasn''t for him being an elder of the Evil God Manor, he probably wouldn''t even have the qualifications to speak to the right clan elder.

    "The envoy of the The Spiritual World has arrived." Just at this moment, a shout rang out, followed by the appearance of a suffocating spiritual energy. Several figures appeared in the air.

    The people who appeared in the sky all had pointy ears. Although they looked like people, they were not completely the same. These people were all from the The Spiritual World and were also the hosts of the Myriad Academy Competition.

 C297

    Chapter 297 - Initial Wanyuan Ridge (1)

    High up in the sky, several The Spiritual World s were looking down on the people from the various Divine Palaces. Although each of the The Spiritual World s seemed extremely powerful, none of them revealed any arrogance.

    Of course, no one would show disrespect because of their kindness on the surface. One must know that in the Tian Lin Continent, there was a saying, "The people of the The Spiritual World are not easy to fight, but they possess the ability to change the situation in the Mainland." This showed how powerful the The Spiritual World was.

    The people of the The Spiritual World slowly descended and landed in the crowd. At a close distance, everyone felt that the people of The Spiritual World in front of them possessed gigantic spiritual energy s, as if these people were formed of spiritual energy s.

    "Hello everyone, I am the The Spiritual World''s envoy. This year''s Great Hall Competition will be hosted by me, I hope that all the elders will cooperate, and the disciples will also use all their strength to participate." A leading The Spiritual World person bowed slightly towards the Divine General''s Palace elders. She looked very much like a gentleman, and compared to him, the Divine General''s Estate''s elders seemed like bumpkins.

    "Mister Gongzi, don''t worry. This competition will definitely be very exciting." A few elders from the Divine General''s estate hurriedly said. Immediately, another elder came forward to say some good words, very much like a friendly relationship.

    Xia Xuan who was at the side frowned. His gaze from before clearly stopped on Yun Che for a while, and although he turned around very quickly, Xia Xuan could still see a slight raise of the corners of his mouth.

    "Alright, it''s getting late, let''s get the disciples to hurry up and enter the Wanyuan Ridge." After hearing a few words of flattery, Gongguo''s words were cut off, and the elders obediently walked away, providing enough space for Gongguo to join in.

    The terrifying spiritual energy formed an array formation in the air, and when the array formation was formed, all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth started to revolve together, and the energy seemed to be able to shake the entire world.

    "Crack," a shattering sound rang out, and in the center of the huge array, a crack appeared. However, it was not a crack in the array, but a crack in space, and although many elders had the ability to tear space apart, the Wanyuan Ridge was not an ordinary space, if they wanted to tear the space between them, perhaps only Divine Masters could barely do it.

    "Crack crack." A series of cracking sounds rang out and a gigantic spatial crack appeared in front of everyone''s eyes. Although they had yet to enter, everyone could feel a majestic life force emanating from within.

    "Alright, I will randomly place you guys at the Wanyuan Ridge''s border. You only have one goal, and that is to become one of the top ten people to reach the Ten Thousand House Mountain." The aura of the fusion suddenly became very majestic, and the voice was filled with holiness.

    After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a wave of spiritual energy s covered all of the disciples'' bodies. The disciples then turned into shooting stars and flew into the spatial cracks.

    "Elders, you should all go in as well. I believe that you all would also like to see the performance of your own disciples." Then, he turned his head to look at the elders. After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and entered the spatial crack. When the elders saw that he had turned around, they also quickly turned their spiritual energy and followed him in.

    The vision in front of him blurred, because a spiritual energy was wrapping around him, allowing him to move at a high speed. In just a moment, his feet firmly stepped on the ground.

    The spiritual energy slowly dissipated, and his vision was no longer blurry. However, Xia Xuan''s entire body suddenly bent, and almost kneeled on the ground. The density of spiritual energy in this world was actually tens or even a hundred times greater than those in the outside world. Those who came here for the first time would all feel the same as Xia Xuan.

    "I actually forgot that the spiritual energy here are very dense, I''m really muddle-headed." Xia Xuan laughed and scolded, then sat on the ground and activated his spiritual energy, barely managing to stand up straight.

    Looking around, Xia Xuan realized that Wang Hao''s group of six was not by his side, his luck was extremely bad, and there were still people around him, there were quite a few of them, and what was even more abnormal was that all of them were in groups, and he was the only one left.

    Chapter 298 - Initial Wanyuan Ridge (2)

    "It can''t be that they''re purposely trying to make things difficult for me, right?" Xia Xuan suddenly remembered the smile on his face earlier, and he finally understood why he was in such an extremely vulnerable situation.

    Xia Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. When he was still Yu Ran, he had once participated in the Ten Thousand Court Competition, and at that time, he had once tried to withstand the pressure of the powerful spiritual energy, and he ended up getting injured. He still trained honestly, and continued moving forward after getting used to the pressure of the spiritual energy, but it was a waste of time to recuperate.

    Amongst everyone present, only Xia Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, while the others were struggling to resist the pressure of the spiritual energy, trying to straighten their bodies. There were even some bold and talented people who wanted to take a step, but ended up falling like Xia Xuan, who sat cross-legged and cultivated, slowly adapting to the pressure of the spiritual energy.

    After adapting for five days, Xia Xuan, who had been here before, quickly got used to it. He stood up and dusted himself off with a smile on his face. The surrounding people also turned their shocked gazes over. They had clearly felt that Xia Xuan was only a third stage Xuanhuang, but they had never expected that the person who would get used to it the most would be the person who was the weakest on the surface.

    He looked around, and only then did Xia Xuan have time to survey his surroundings. He was at the border of the Wanyuan Ridge, and behind him was an illusion, although it looked like it was a desert, but in reality, it was an endless void. Of course, there was an invisible barrier that prevented the disciples from entering the void.

    Looking further in the direction of the center of Wanyuan Ridge, he saw himself in a desert. At the end of his line of sight was a green line.

    After a simple glance and he had finished observing, Xia Xuan was ready to take a step forward towards the Forest. However, just as he took a step forward, he felt a rush of spiritual energy behind him, and immediately dodged the attack.

    After Xia Xuan dodged, he looked at the ground under attack and could not help but crease his eyebrows. Then, he turned his gaze towards the place where the attack came from, only to see a disciple dressed in the robes of a Evil God Manor disciple gasping for breath as she stared at him.

    "Brat, you reacted quite quickly." The Evil God Manor disciple said while gasping for breath. Sweat could not help but cover her face, obviously the disciple had not gotten used to the pressure of the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, she only wanted to bear the pressure and kill Xia Xuan.

    "You want to kill me just like that, aren''t you a little bit reluctant?" Xia Xuan crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at the panting disciple playfully. He could clearly feel that this disciple was only a second stage Mysterious Sect, in order to resist the pressure from the spiritual energy, he could probably only release a first stage Mysterious Sect. To Xia Xuan, opponents with this kind of strength were nothing more than mice that he could play around with easily.

    "Against a kid with Xuanhuang like you, I only need one finger." Those disciples gritted their teeth and said. Until now, he still thought Xia Xuan was just an ordinary Xuanhuang, and underestimating his opponent had become the biggest mistake in his life.

    "Evil God Manor has always been good to me, I think it''s time for you to return the favor." Xia Xuan laughed, the spiritual energy in his hand secretly activated, a wave of concealed killing intent started to gush out.

    "Reply? I''m afraid you don''t understand your situation. " The Evil God Manor disciple obviously did not understand the meaning behind Xia Xuan''s words, as she had actually said such foolish words.

    whoosh * That disciple still wanted to say something, but a shadow suddenly flashed past, then he was speechless. There was a clear wound on his neck that was very deep. If it went any deeper, his head would fall to the ground.

    That disciple still maintained the look of wanting to say something even though he had money. When he fell into a pool of blood, Xia Xuan stood by his side, in his hand was a short blade, the short blade''s body still had a trace of blood.

    Xia Xuan turned his head to the side. Beside him, there were a few disciples of the Evil God Manor sitting cross-legged, but the strength of those disciples was obviously not too high. As a result, when the disciples of the Evil God Manor saw that Xia Xuan had shifted his gaze over, they could not help but break out in cold sweat, afraid that Xia Xuan would kill them too, as he was a newbie that was not afraid of tigers.

    "Brat, our Evil God Manor is not someone that God-Slaying Manor can compare to right now. You must think carefully, don''t summon your God-Slaying Manor here to kill me." One of the disciples said. His meaning was very clear.

    "When I didn''t provoke you, did you let me off again?" Xia Xuan laughed, his face revealing a smile, that smile was the sign of death for the disciples of Evil God Manor.

    "Primordial chaos? Reincarnation? Aren''t you going to help out?" When the disciple who spoke previously saw Xia Xuan''s smile, a wave of fear rose in his heart, and he immediately shouted to the two waves of people around him. Those two waves of people were from the Primal Chaos Palace and the Rebirth Palace, and normally had quite a good relationship with the Evil God Manor.

    The most surprising thing was that the two groups of people completely ignored the disciples of the Evil God Manor and continued to cultivate with their binocular behind them, as if they did not hear anything.

    "You all ˇ­" The disciples of the Evil God Manor were so angry that their faces turned red, they immediately turned their gaze towards Xia Xuan, and started running their spiritual energy, wanting to fight to the death with Xia Xuan.

    Without waiting for the disciples to make a move, Xia Xuan''s figure had already disappeared. When a black figure flashed past, all the disciples of the Evil God Manor s fell to the ground.

    Xia Xuan kept the short blade that was stained with blood into his storage ring and turned to look at the center of the Wanyuan Ridge. He knew that the elders from the various Great God general palaces were all looking at the entire Wanyuan Ridge, and Icemist was no exception.

    Smiling faintly, Xia Xuan did not linger, and walked straight to the center of Wanyuan Ridge, leaving behind rows of surprised and resentful gazes.

 C299

    Chapter 299 - Recovery (1)

    On the third day after Xia Xuan left, a group of people stood up from the desert. That pair of people were none other than the disciples of the Primal Chaos Manor who had pleaded for help at the Evil God Manor.

    He had no objections to Xia Xuan killing the people from Evil God Manor, but when the Evil God Manor came to him for help, he had slapped the face of their Primal Chaos Manor already. This kind of relationship was not one that could be settled easily.

    "Big brother, are we going to chase them?" A disciple whispered in the ears of the leading disciple.

    "Of course, I can''t tolerate this kind of thing." The leading disciple said as he gritted his teeth. A wave of spiritual energy gushed out from his body and its strength was actually so strong that it reached Grade Five Mysterious Sect.

    "But his strength doesn''t seem to be as simple as it looks on the surface." The ordinary disciple said with a worried expression.

    "What are you afraid of? "He can still overturn the heavens, but our strength can completely crush him." The leading disciple angrily scolded. He scared the other disciples and made them shrink back, not daring to say another word.

    "Yo, the famous cryptogeny is about to make his move." Just at this time, when no one dared to speak, a laugh rang out, and as their gazes searched for the source of the sound, they saw a man dressed in yellow robes not too far away, bringing a group of Rebirth Palace disciples with him.

    "What, you, Huang Yue, can endure this?" The disciple called cryptogeny stared at the yellow-robed man and laughed sinisterly.

    "Of course we can''t, it''s just that it''s a little strange that his God-Slaying Manor would send a Xuanhuang to participate in the competition, do you think that it''s possible that that that guy has returned?" Huang Yue stared in the direction where Xia Xuan left three days ago, and the binocular formed a dangerous arc in the air. He, who was born cautious, would not lose his mind due to anger.

    Hearing Huang Yue''s words, the cryptogeny calmed down. If their guess was right, even if the two of them were to work together, there would still be a tough battle going on.

    "I wonder if cryptogeny has any intentions of cooperating with me to kill that brat in the cradle." Huang Yue looked at cryptogeny, obviously cooperating with him was the best choice.

    "Then, I hope that we can cooperate happily." The cryptogeny didn''t hesitate either. After speaking straightforwardly, he led the group of Primal Chaos Palace disciples in a big stride towards the direction in which Xia Xuan had left. Only, he did not see that Huang Yue, who was behind him, was looking at him as if he was a fool. Simple people were usually the best people to take advantage of, just like the cryptogeny.

    Three days ago, Xia Xuan left after strangling a group of Evil God Manor disciples. His goal was very clear, which was the Thousand Court Mountain in the very center of Wanyuan Ridge.

    Although the Thousand Court Mountain would only be opened half a month after the start of the competition, there were still many treasures in the Wanyuan Ridge. Even though there were also many hidden treasure sites at the borders, according to Xia Xuan''s observation, the closer one was to the Thousand Court Mountain, the better the quality of the treasures.

    "Kid, there are so many treasures in this world. What kind of place is this?" Xia Xuan was rushing on his way, when Peng Hong suddenly spoke out from his body. With Peng Hong''s strength, he could clearly feel those hidden treasures. Even with his strength, it could only be said that those treasures were coveted by others.

    "This is a territory donated by the The Spiritual World to the Human Realm. The Spiritual World is a land with abundant resources. Xia Xuan replied.

    "So that''s how it is." Peng Hong nodded his head and thought deeply. Although Peng Hong had not been in the Heavenly Scale Mainland for long, he still heard about the great name of the The Spiritual World. Although the The Spiritual World''s strength could not be compared to the The Divine Realm''s, his reputation had far surpassed the former.

    "Who?" Suddenly, Xia Xuan became extremely cautious, his eyes were fixated on a patch of grass, just a moment ago, Xia Xuan could clearly feel a movement.

    Although the Wanyuan Ridge was isolated from the outside world, it did not mean that there were no spirit beast in the Wanyuan Ridge. On the contrary, because of the dense spiritual energy here, the spirit beast were exceptionally strong, and even with Xia Xuan''s strength, he had no choice but to be careful.

    "Don''t be afraid, I''m not a bad person." A woman''s voice rang out, and from the bush, a woman walked out. It was a woman in white, and in terms of looks, she could be said to be a phoenix that came out of the water. However, the wound on her shoulder destroyed everything.

 C300

    Chapter 300 - Recovery (2)

    "You must be from the Ice Ling Family to wear these clothes, right?" Xia Xuan took a glance at the woman, and immediately recognized her origins. He thought that he had some friendship with the Ice Spirit God back in his days as a Deicide.

    "That''s right, I''m being chased by the people from Fire Phoenix Mansion. Little brother, you should quickly escape as well." The lady spoke anxiously to Xia Xuan, her expression looked extremely panicked, and Xia Xuan could immediately tell that the lady was still very kind, and did not forget to think for others even at this time.

    "The one they are chasing is you, but it''s not me. Why should I run?" Xia Xuan smiled, his hands on his waist, looking completely unflustered.

    "You ˇ­" The woman was so angry by Xia Xuan that her face was flushed red, and she did not know what to say anymore, so she could only crawl back into the grass, and completely hide her Qi. Only, the girl after getting injured obviously had her strength greatly reduced, and was unable to completely hide her Qi, even Xia Xuan was able to sense her existence.

    "Hai." Xia Xuan sighed helplessly. If he were to leave like this, this woman would definitely not be able to live past today.

    His gaze turned towards the distant horizon, where a few men dressed in fiery red robes flew over. Xia Xuan immediately recognized that those people were from the Fire Phoenix Mansion, and now that they had appeared here, he guessed that they were probably there to chase after the woman.

    Seeing those people, Xia Xuan released his spiritual energy, causing a wave of Spirit Qi to surround his body, covering up the Spirit Qi that the lady was unable to hide.

    When the people from the Fire Phoenix Mansion noticed the spiritual energy that Xia Xuan had released, they all landed on the ground in front of him.

    Seeing that Xia Xuan was only a Xuanhuang, a look of disdain flashed across the faces of the Fire Phoenix Mansion people, but they quickly concealed it. A leading disciple asked Xia Xuan: "Little brother, have you seen a woman from the Ice Ling Palace?"

    Although this disciple did not intentionally release spiritual energy, Xia Xuan could still feel his strength. This disciple''s cultivation was the highest amongst everyone, and he was a third stage Xuanzun.

    "I have." Xia Xuan laughed and replied straightforwardly.

    When the lady from the bush heard Xia Xuan''s answer, she immediately clenched her fists. She was truly afraid that Xia Xuan would use his information in exchange for compensation, and at that time, she would really suffer.

    "Then where is she?" The leading Fire Phoenix Mansion disciple asked in a hurry.

    "I don''t know where she is, but she asked me to pass along a message, ''Go to hell''." Xia Xuan said sinisterly.

    "I think you''re messing with us." Hearing Xia Xuan''s words, the disciples of the Fire Phoenix Mansion all lost their patience. All of them immediately activated their spiritual energy, wanting to teach Xia Xuan a lesson.

    The disciples of the Fire Phoenix Mansion were all shocked. The Xia Xuan in front of them had already disappeared, and no one could find Xia Xuan''s figure again. Only now did they realize that they had underestimated the man who looked like only a Xuanhuang.

    "Putong!" Suddenly, a disciple fell onto the ground, when everyone turned to look at the fallen disciples, they did not see Xia Xuan''s figure, but fear immediately filled their hearts, this kind of scene where they unknowingly watched as their comrade fell was the most terrifying.

    The fear had already spread throughout their hearts. The disciples'' feet would start to tremble, and they didn''t know when death would come, but they had no way to prevent the death god from recruiting them.

    Following the fall of another disciple, the only person left standing was the man leading them all. Xia Xuan stopped using his speed and stood in front of the man with a playful smile on his face. Looking at the fear on the man''s face, Xia Xuan started to think about how to play with him.

    "Brat, do you know that the elders are always watching us, are you not afraid of our Fire Phoenix Mansion taking revenge?" The man finally mustered up the courage to threaten Xia Xuan.

    "Humph!" A mere Fire Phoenix Mansion has the qualifications to threaten me? " Xia Xuan let out a cold laugh, a dense killing intent surged out, the surging spiritual energy did not hide anything and told the man that Xia Xuan wanted to kill him.

    "Spare me! I am only following orders. Please spare me!" The man was truly frightened by Xia Xuan, he immediately kowtowed to Xia Xuan, the sound of his forehead hitting the ground was extremely loud.

    "Sorry, you won''t live." Xia Xuan looked at the man coldly. In the end, his hand raised and a blade fell, and the man''s head fell to the ground.

    "Come out." After killing the man, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the grass at the side.

    "Sha sha", a rustling sound could be heard, and the woman walked out. At this time, the woman looked at Xia Xuan with eyes filled with surprise, she never thought that this Xia Xuan who seemed to be only in Xuanhuang would actually have such a strong strength.

    "Go reunite with your manor''s people as soon as possible." Xia Xuan said lightly before he prepared to leave.

    "The people from our manor are all dead. We were surrounded and attacked by two Divine General Palaces, and they risked their lives to send me out." The lady''s expression was extremely downcast, but when Xia Xuan heard her words, he was stunned.

    "Hey, do you want to go with me? To Ten Thousand Court Mountain. " In the end, Xia Xuan''s heart softened as he extended his hand out to invite the woman.

    "Can I?" The woman was overjoyed. A trace of an excited smile appeared on her face as she asked with her eyes wide open.

    Xia Xuan smiled and nodded his head. Then the girl cheered, looking very lively and cute.

    "I''m Hua Ling, nice to meet you." The lady stretched out her hand to shake Xia Xuan''s hand, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

    "Xia Xuan, please take care of me along the way." Xia Xuan smiled and replied simply.

 C301

    Chapter 301 - The Real Great Games (1)

    "Alright, let''s go. Time waits for no one." After treating Hua Ling''s wounds and consuming the spirit medicine, Xia Xuan spoke out.

    "Yes." Hua Ling nodded her head lightly and was about to follow Xia Xuan.

    "Kid, don''t be in such a hurry to leave. There''s something good 30,000 meters southwest of here." Just then, Peng Hong suddenly spoke out, and upon hearing his words, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards the southwest.

    "This is the outskirts of the Wanyuan Ridge, are you sure it''s good stuff?" Xia Xuan asked in his heart. He had never seen anything good appearing outside the Wanyuan Ridge.

    "Believe me, I definitely won''t let you down." Peng Hong said again, his voice brimming with confidence.

    "What''s wrong?" The spirit of Hua Ling who was behind Xia Xuan asked curiously when he saw that he had stopped.

    "Let''s not go to the Thousand Court Mountain first. We need to find something." Xia Xuan answered simply before walking towards the southwest. He trusted Peng Hong quite a bit, and since Peng Hong said that there was something good, there shouldn''t be any mistake.

    At this moment, in a relatively spacious area, a man was sitting on a huge rock. Although he didn''t intentionally release his aura, a dignified aura was still revolving around him.

    "Elder Senior-apprentice Brother, their Life Tablets have all shattered." A disciple walked over, and in the hands of that disciple, several shattered tokens were resting quietly.

    "Useless thing." The Eldest Senior Brother looked at the Life Tablets. Although they appeared cold on the surface, the ordinary disciple could see the anger in them and was immediately scared to the point where his entire body was shivering.

    Just at this moment, a huge snake tail swung over. The Eldest Senior Brother''s eyes flashed with a cold light. He suddenly pulled the clothes of the disciple beside him and his figure flashed as he disappeared.

    The two people who had disappeared appeared in the sky in the next moment, releasing the disciples in their hands, the senior brother had his hands behind his back, and was looking at the ground coldly. On the ground at this moment, there was a thousand meters long giant snake, and there were also many people dressed in the same clothes as the senior brother who were currently besieging the giant snake, but the giant snake were obviously not someone to be trifled with, and they were not the opponent of the giant snake at all.

    "What''s happening now is because of it. Let the Wah Ling live for a few more days." The strength of the spiritual energy had actually reached the level of a sixth stage Mysterious Sect. In the ten thousand academy competition, this kind of strength could already be considered to be at the upper middle level.

    To Xia Xuan, thirty thousand meters was not a long distance but the Hua Ling was injured, so Xia Xuan deliberately slowed down his pace. By the time they arrived at the place Peng Hong mentioned, they had already spent half a day.

    Xia Xuan was not anxious, the two of them were hiding in the grass, sneaking their heads out.

    In front of them was an open area, but it could be seen that this place was originally a lush Forest, but because of the intense battle, all the trees had been uprooted, leaving behind a ground full of holes.

    The most eye-catching thing on the empty ground was the thousand meter long giant snake. Every time the giant snake swung its huge tail, it would leave a deep scar on the ground that was several hundred meters long, which was extremely shocking.

    However, no matter how much they attacked the giant snake, they could not cause too much damage. Instead, it was the giant snake''s tail that was too fast for them to withstand. The difference in strength between them and the giant snake was too huge.

    "Hiss." The nearby Hua Ling suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly hid himself behind a bush, not daring to peek his head out.

    "These must be the other disciples of the Fire Phoenix Mansion." Xia Xuan could immediately tell why the spirits were in such a situation. The clothes worn by the surrounding people were all the same as the clothes worn by the people who were chasing after the spirits earlier. It was likely that these people were from Fire Phoenix Mansion.

    Hua Ling, who was hiding in the grass, shivered. She thought back to the scene of her junior and junior brothers being cruelly killed, and felt both angry and afraid. She looked at Xia Xuan with a pitiful gaze as tears welled up in her eyes.

    Seeing Hua Ling''s pitiful look, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but crease its eyebrows. It turned its gaze towards the three thousand meter tall giant snake and said with a serious voice: "I''ll try my best."

    In the sky, a figure of light rapidly flew by. Every time that figure of light attacked the giant snake, it would barely leave a scar.

 C302

    Chapter 302 - The Real Great Games (2)

    "The strongest person is the leader of the Fire Phoenix Mansion, his name is Huo Ye, and he has reached the sixth stage of Mysterious Sect, are you confident?" Looking at the eldest senior brother who was flying in the air and attacking the giant snake nonstop, Hua Ling''s eyes were filled with uncontrollable rage.

    "I have absolute confidence in not saying anything. I can only do my best." Xia Xuan''s eyes were fixed on the giant snake, and could tell that Huo Ye was not its opponent, but Huo Ye still wanted to fight with the giant snake, so he guessed that there was still a backup plan. Thus, even Xia Xuan did not dare say that he had the confidence to deal with him, since this large snake did not look weak at all.

    "Bang!" Another set of spiritual energy s attacked again, but still only left a small wound, but following the constant attacks, the small wounds added together made the giant snake look like it was riddled with scars. Being struck like this by Huo Ye, even the giant snake was enraged, and frantically shook its snake tail, wanting to finish Huo Ye off.

    Huo Ye was not that easy to deal with. Although the snake tail was large, it was very slow, and with Huo Ye''s strength, he could still barely dodge it.

    "Swish!" The snake tail once again brushed past Ye Chen''s face, and landed heavily on the ground, leaving behind a deep scar that was hundreds of meters long.

    "When are those people coming?" Huo Ye shouted to a disciple who was far away, his voice full of anger.

    "They said they''d be right there." The disciple who was yelled at by Huo Ye trembled in fear. Just as he finished speaking, a gigantic snake tail suddenly lashed out, violently slapping him into the ground. One did not even have to look to know that this disciple was already a pile of meat paste.

    "These bastards, I won''t forgive them in the future." Huo Ye secretly cursed. He activated the spiritual energy, and once again dodged the snake tail that was swinging at him. Then, he ferociously swung out his spiritual energy, forcefully hitting seven inches away from the giant snake.

    In the end, the giant snake was enraged, and a huge wave of spiritual energy burst out from its body.

    Right at this moment, a loud phoenix cry sounded out. A few thousand meters large giant phoenix flew over and directly smashed into the giant snake''s body, causing the momentum that the giant snake had just released to be repelled.

    "Apologies Brother Ye, I took too long to set up this formation. I''m a bit late." In the sky, where the giant phoenix had flown over, the clouds dissipated and an array formation was revealed. Within the array formation were a few green-clothed people maintaining the array formation.

    Outside of the formation, there was a man dressed in a dark green robe. The man held a cyan colored longsword in his hand, which looked quite imposing.

    "Hurry up and deal with this beast if you have time to speak." Huo Ye said impolitely, and turned to look at the man with eyes filled with anger. However, this was not the time to be angry, so he could only focus on dealing with the big snake.

    "Bei Kongxing, just you wait. After the Myriad Academy Competition, you and I will be irreconcilable." Huo Ye cursed in his heart, he could guess why these people were so late.

    "These people are from the Forest Boas. When they surrounded and attacked us earlier, they did half of their best." When Hua Ling saw Bei Kongxing and the others who came later, she could not help but grind her teeth and ask.

    In the sky, Bei Kongxing did not mind Huo Ye''s words at all. Instead, a complacent smile surfaced on his face as he turned around and waved at the disciples who were maintaining the formation. After that, those disciples began to circulate the spiritual energy and the formation began to circulate as well.

    Looking at the array which had slowly condensed a powerful spiritual energy, Bei Kongxing''s face revealed a strange smile. With a wave of his hand, the disciples suddenly activated the array and a spiritual energy rushed towards the giant snake.

    Roar ~ ~ A huge dragon''s roar sounded, the aura was so strong that it seemed like it wanted to swallow the giant snake, but what was unexpected was that the Giant dragon''s target seemed to include Huo Ye.

    The Giant dragon''s speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, its opened mouth enveloped Huo Ye. Huo Ye only noticed that the world had turned dark, and then, the enormous dragon mouth engulfed him, causing him to be caught unaware.

    "AHH!" Only now did she realize the dangers of this world. One moment, you might still be working together, and the next moment, you might want to take your life. Even if it''s just one moment, you can''t let your luck go so easily.

    Xia Xuan tilted his head and looked at Hua Ling, only to realize that he was staring at him with an unfathomable gaze. Xia Xuan could naturally see what was going on in Hua Ling''s heart, and immediately said: "Rest assured, if I were to harm you, I would not save you."

    To be honest, she was really afraid that Xia Xuan would become like Bei Kongxing.

    "Bei Kongxing, what are you doing?" The other disciples of Fire Phoenix Mansion saw this scene and shouted angrily at Bei Kongxing.

    "What are you doing? Do you even need to say that? There are no rules here. If I want to, I can kill all of you. " Bei Kongxing looked down on the disciples of the Fire Phoenix Mansion s. Towards these weak disciples, his eyes were filled with disdain.

    At this time, the size of the Giant dragon that had devoured Huo Ye doubled, its aura became even more ferocious, and directly started biting at the giant snake, but the giant snake was obviously not a match for the Giant dragon, and after a while, it was bitten to the point where it was barely breathing. Finally, the Giant dragon ruthlessly bit seven inches, and the giant snake immediately stopped breathing.

    After killing the giant snake, Bei Kongxing did not show any signs of stopping. His gaze turned towards the disciples of the Fire Phoenix Mansion, and immediately, the Giant dragon howled as it rushed towards those disciples. With the strength of the Giant dragon, no one could escape it.

    This was the Grand Competition, and it was not as good as it appeared to be. This was a battle of life and death, hiding in the shadows could bring the future to the mansion, but there were many people who only wished to survive.

 C303

    Chapter 303 - Source (1)

    After successfully killing off all the people from the and the giant snake, Bei Kongxing, however, was not in a hurry to come in contact with the array. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the ground.

    The spiritual energy condensed into a thin needle, and with a sudden wave of his hand, the thin needle shot towards the grass.

    Bei Kongxing''s target was actually the place where Xia Xuan and Hua Ling were hiding.

    Xia Xuan no longer hesitated. When the spiritual energy was in his hands, it actually went straight for the needle and grabbed it. When the needle was in his hands, with a strange twist of his palm, the impact was completely resolved.

    Seeing Xia Xuan walking out from the bushes, Bei Kongxing could not help but frown. Actually, he did not notice Xia Xuan previously, but he could feel the aura of the Hua Ling, and yet he did not sense any Xia Xuan at all.

    "Hua Ling, what are you hiding from?" Bei Kongxing said loudly, scaring the spirit of Hua Ling, who was perspiring cold sweat all over.

    Bei Kongxing waved his hand, and those disciples removed the formation. In his eyes, although Xia Xuan was not as simple as he appeared to be, it was impossible for the rest of the Forest Palace to be able to do anything against a mere Xuanhuang.

    "Your Forest Boas are quite treacherous." Both of Xia Xuan''s hands were placed behind his back, and there was not the slightest hint of anxiety that should have appeared on his face due to the fact that the other party had the numbers advantage, so his expression was extremely relaxed.

    "Brat, are you not afraid of death or are you being too arrogant? There are so many of us, yet you''re not running? Are you still spouting nonsense?" Bei Kongxing looked at Xia Xuan coldly, and his voice contained a hint of indifference.

    Bei Kongxing turned to look at a disciple at his side. That disciple had just reached the Mysterious Sect, so he could be considered the weakest of the disciples. The disciple also noticed Bei Kongxing''s gaze, and after understanding what Bei Kongxing meant, he nodded and activated his spiritual energy, then rushed towards Xia Xuan.

    Of course, to Xia Xuan, a person who had just broken through Mysterious Sect was not something to be afraid of. Immediately, the flamethrower flashed into her hands, and fiercely flung it out without any hesitation.

    The current Xia Xuan, Bei Kongxing and the ordinary disciple were coincidentally on the same side, so Bei Kongxing did not see any flamethrower. When the flamethrower pierced the chest of the normal disciple with its ferocious force, Bei Kongxing was immediately shocked, and hurriedly used his spirit to defend against the flamethrower.

    A wave of spiritual energy had just condensed in front of Bei Kongxing when the flamethrower turned into a Small Flood Dragon Dragon with a shake of its body. The Flood Dragon turned around and bypassed the spiritual energy''s barrier, spiraling onto Bei Kongxing''s body.

    "Ah ˇŞ ˇŞ" As a semi-divine apparatus, this bite of the flamethrower''s directly broke Bei Kongxing''s arteries. If not for Bei Kongxing''s timely spiritual energy blocking the meridian, he probably would have died from excessive blood loss.

    Bei Kongxing was furious, his big hand suddenly grabbed the Small Flood Dragon, and just as he was about to pinch the Small Flood Dragon to death, the Small Flood Dragon fiercely bit his thumb, and immediately bit off his entire thumb.

    Bei Kongxing was in so much pain that he hurriedly flung the Small Flood Dragon away. Just as he was covering his hand that was in extreme pain, a ghostly figure appeared behind him. The figure''s arrival was sudden, and even the other disciples of the Forest Imperial Manor beside him did not notice.

    The cold light quietly circled around Bei Kongxing''s neck. Even Bei Kongxing, who was secretly operating the spiritual energy, felt that it was dangerous, and that it was a threat to his life.

    It had to be said that Bei Kongxing was not a pushover. When he felt the cold light that only believed in his own life, he immediately turned around and escaped, not waiting for the cold light to take his life.

    Dodging Xia Xuan''s sneak attack, Bei Kongxing was standing in the air and could not help but reveal a pleased smile when he saw that the opponent was still maintaining the position of wiping his neck. Bei Kongxing could tell that he was just caught unprepared. If they really fought head on, he could say that he might not be able to defeat Xia Xuan.

    It was also exactly at this time that Bei Kongxing ought to have, because the smile on his face had not yet disappeared when a black scale lance that was drenched in blood forcibly pierced his chest. Looking at the tip of the spear which was still dripping with blood, Bei Kongxing''s binocular was completely round.

    As a semi-divine apparatus, it was very difficult to use spiritual energy to recover from a flamethrower''s injuries. When the flamethrower suddenly pierced Bei Kongxing''s chest, Bei Kongxing, who had previously dealt with both the giant snake and the Fire Phoenix Mansion, fell to the ground.

    Xia Xuan turned his head to look at the disciples of her Forest Palace and those disciples who saw Xia Xuan''s gaze turn over were all shocked. They did not even have the time to react to what had happened before Bei Kongxing had died.

    The disciples did not dare to fight with Xia Xuan anymore, and they immediately activated their spiritual energy s and escaped in different directions as if they were fleeing for their lives.

    It was not that he did not want to give chase, but he could not give chase. Honestly speaking, if the disciples were to team up, it would be difficult to deal with them even with his strength. Previously, he had to rely entirely on surprise to deal with Bei Kongxing.

    After resolving everything, Xia Xuan landed on the ground, and the corpses of the giant snake and Bei Kongxing stood in front of him. Xia Xuan had always been curious as to why there was such a powerful giant snake here, and why Huo Ye and Bei Kongxing had even come together to challenge the giant snake.

    After Xia Xuan took away Bei Kongxing''s storage ring, he burnt his corpse and walked around. He wanted to find some clues, but of course, he couldn''t find anything by looking at it.

    The Hua Ling had already walked over, and when he saw Xia Xuan''s thoughtful look, he did not say a word, and stood to the side, quietly waiting.

    "Do you know why they want to fight giant snake?" After pondering for awhile, Xia Xuan turned to look at the Hua Ling and asked.

    "I don''t know. They surrounded and killed our Bingling Manor because they have a grudge against us. I don''t know anything else." Hua Ling shook her head and said.

    After hearing that, Xia Xuan did not ask anymore. He sat on a huge rock and started pondering while staring at the giant snake.

    After a long while, Xia Xuan still could not think of a reason. Just as he was troubled, he suddenly thought of a person, and immediately said to Peng Hong in his heart: "Senior brother, do you know why?"

    Amongst the dantian, Peng Hong crossed his arms across his chest, revealing a haughty look, he said snappily: "You only thought of me now, what have you been doing for a long time?"

    After hearing what she said, Xia Xuan could only rub his head and smile awkwardly, he did not know how to reply.

    "Did you notice that the giant snake had moved half a step?" She rolled her eyes at Xia Xuan, but it was Peng Hong''s simple sentence that sobered her up.

    Looking carefully, Xia Xuan realized that even after death, the giant snake was still spiraling, and from start to finish, it had moved half a step tomorrow. It was the same even when the Giant dragon had bitten it earlier, its enormous body seemed to be deliberately concealing something.

    "What exactly is below?" Xia Xuan came to the side of the giant snake and asked curiously as he looked at the ground that was covered by the giant snake.

    "You''ll know when you get down there." Peng Hong said with a slightly angry voice. It was obvious that she was a little angry at Xia Xuan for thinking about him for so long.

    Xia Xuan also felt helpless. He could only use the spiritual energy s to move the giant snake s huge body up, revealing that it was not the ground, but a huge cave, and it was so big that even giant snake s could only barely cover it, and the cave was so deep that the bottom couldn''t be seen.

    "Could this be a snake cave?" Xia Xuan said in shock.

    "What snake cave? It was forcefully dug out by the two Divine General''s estate. The good stuff is right below." Peng Hong sneered.

    Hearing Peng Hong''s words, Xia Xuan also came to his senses, he turned to look at Hua Ling and asked: "Are you coming down to search for treasures?"

    Being asked by Xia Xuan, Hua Ling wanted to walk away, but she shrank back due to fear. Her hesitating appearance looked cute.

    Seeing Hua Ling like that, Xia Xuan laughed helplessly, and held her hand, then flew into the cave.

    The cave''s depth was beyond Xia Xuan''s imagination, even with his flying speed, he had to fly for nearly an hour before he could reach the bottom. It was hard to imagine what method the two people from the Palace had used to create such a huge cave. Of course, with the countless strange objects in the world, Xia Xuan believed that they had their own ways.

    They arrived at the underground. It was very humid here, and occasionally they could hear the sound of water dripping onto rocks.

    The spiritual energy wrapped around the binocular, and after looking around, he soon discovered a path. There were a few small snakes at the entrance of the path, staring at him, like a child who had lost its parents. When he saw a bad person, he did not dare to run, and could only stand on the spot and watch.

    It could be seen that these little snakes were the children of giant snake. It was no wonder that giant snake would risk its life to protect them, it was actually protecting its own children. Xia Xuan walked to the front of the little snakes, and a few Pills appeared in his storage ring, then placed the Pills on the ground and walked into the passage.

    The little snakes looked at the Pills on the ground and hesitated for a moment before devouring it. Looking at the distant Xia Xuan, their eyes were empty, but just because that empty space was empty, they firmly remembered Xia Xuan''s figure in their hearts.

    The passage was very long, and after Xia Xuan and the Hua Spirit had walked for nearly two hours, Xia Xuan realized that there was a strange power in the surrounding air. It was a kind of earth power, which was extremely dense and strong.

    After walking for a while longer, Xia Xuan stopped in his tracks. There was no more road in front of him, but this was also his destination, and in front of him was a gigantic ball of light. The deep yellow ball of light contained a powerful energy of the earth, and there were also many veins on the surrounding walls of the cave.

    "I never thought that there would be such a thing hidden here. This show has really struck it rich." Looking at that ball of light, Xia Xuan had an excited expression. It could be said that with this ball of light, the chance of winning the Myriad Academy Competition would be increased by an entire twenty percent.

    The earth was the origin of all energy, but the masses only knew that the earth contained a large amount of energy. They didn''t know where all of this energy came from, but the energy of the earth actually had a origin, and what appeared in front of Xia Xuan right now was the origin of the earth.

    "Brat, I didn''t trick you right? Is this item better than the other treasures?" Peng Hong crossed his arms across his chest with a face full of pride.

    "This time, you really didn''t trick me. You are simply too amazing. Junior is truly impressed." Xia Xuan said excitedly in his heart, and when hearing this, Peng Hong''s face looked even more proud.

    The source in front of him could be said to be the best treasure in the entire Wanyuan Ridge. All of the treasures in the Wanyuan Ridge were formed from a little bit of the source energy, and it could be said that all of the treasures added together couldn''t even compare to one ten thousandth of the source energy.

    "Stop dawdling, hurry up and absorb it. If you are discovered, you won''t be able to absorb it." Peng Hong reminded them.

    Hearing Peng Hong''s words, Xia Xuan did not hesitate anymore and rushed into the area. But just as he was about to move, he stopped and turned to look at the Hua Ling, asking: "The power of the spirit is great, you can take the opportunity to absorb it, it will be beneficial for your cultivation."

    "No, my body can''t absorb the power of earth." The words that came out startled Xia Xuan. He couldn''t absorb the power of the earth and was also from the Ice Ling Palace, so Xia Xuan had already guessed what kind of physique the Ice Spirit Beast had, maybe the Ice Spirit Beast would become the successor of the Ice Spirit God in the future.

    Xia Xuan did not speak anymore, and with a leap, he entered the region.

    As soon as he entered, an intense pain spread throughout his body, the energy of the earth was dense, and was not something an ordinary person could endure. When the energy of the earth rushed into his muscles and veins, even Xia Xuan felt as if his meridians were about to explode.

    Fortunately, Xia Xuan had trained in the Evil Realm, and as many as five hundred meridian were barely able to withstand the immense power of the earth. When the power of the earth continuously surged into the dantian, Xia Xuan''s aura also increased sharply, but the speed of the increase was not in proportion to the speed he had absorbed.

    "I say, do you have the nerve to fight with me?" Xia Xuan said a little helplessly. Peng Hong, who was within the dantian, was absorbing the power of the earth, which caused his aura to increase sharply and become too slow.

    "Do you have a conscience? Back then, we fought a great battle against the Exotic Devil King for you, but we haven''t fully recovered from our injuries yet. So what if we absorb some of the Earth energy? " Peng Hong said loudly, his voice filled with dissatisfaction.

    Hearing this, Xia Xuan also felt helpless, and could only continue to absorb the power of the earth.

    What Xia Xuan did not realize was that when Peng Hong absorbed the power of earth, he would return half of the power of earth to Xia Xuan. Furthermore, that power of earth was extremely pure, without any impurities at all.

    At this time, tens of thousands of meters above the center of Wanyuan Ridge, the elders of the various residences were nervously watching the disciples in the Wanyuan Ridge. Some elders were happy that their disciples had obtained the precious treasures, but there were also some who were aggrieved and indignant at the fact that their own disciples had all died.

    "Mortal Manor, your disciples are going too far." A red-haired Old Man shouted angrily to a green-robed Old Man, his red face showing his current emotions.

    "Right now, I don''t have the time or the anger to say all these. Those with the surname ''right'', do you know that Bei Kongxing is a genius that only appears once in a hundred years in our manor? This matter cannot end like this." The green robed Old Man''s face was filled with anger, and shouted at the right clan elder.

    "The Grand Competition clearly stated that the disciples are allowed to fight each other. Is your Mansion something else?" The right clan elder glanced at the green-robed Old Man, his cold gaze making the green-robed Old Man''s face turn even redder.

    "You two just wait, that brat also killed my Fire Phoenix Mansion''s disciples, this matter won''t end like this." The red-haired Old Man shouted angrily at the green-robed Old Man and the right clan elder. After he finished speaking, he activated his spiritual energy and flew towards the horizon, actually leaving the Wanyuan Ridge.

    "Alas, we have formed another alliance." The right clan elder could not help but mutter to himself. The relationship between the Divine General''s estate would normally not be too bad, and getting into a relationship with the Divine General''s Estate would bring about a lot of trouble for them, which would be even more troublesome for the God-Slaying Manor that was still developing.

    Chapter 306 - Another helping hand (2)

    His gaze turned to the ground once again. Previously, when Xia Xuan entered the cave, he did not know about Xia Xuan''s situation anymore.

    It was unknown if it was due to bad luck or who it was intentional, but the location where Wang Hao''s group of six was located was different. Furthermore, there were other people from the Divine General''s Estate around them ˇŞ it was still a little difficult for them to deal with those people with their strength, but with their intelligence as Divine Generals, they could still barely deal with them.

    "Look, the earth is withering." Finally, one of the elders noticed that something was wrong. He pointed at the rapidly withering land and asked in surprise.

    At this moment, it was as if the earth had lost all of its power and was withering. The sight of all the plants on the ground withering at the same time was extremely surprising.

    "There must be someone who has entered the Origin Stage. We can''t continue like this, or else Wanyuan Ridge would be finished." Another elder spoke up.

    whoosh * Just at that moment, a figure quickly flew out. That figure was one with them.

    Without even thinking about it, they knew what the blending was about. With it coming out, the elders were relieved, and they all turned to look at the disciples who were still looking around for treasures, but they couldn''t help but look at the wilted things around them. If the Wanyuan Ridge were to be destroyed, it would be a huge loss to all the Divine General Palaces.

    With their combined speed, they only needed a few breaths to travel through the entire Wanyuan Ridge. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived outside the cave. Looking at the giant snake''s corpse and the cave that led underground, the brow could not help but frown.

    After the brow wrinkled its brows, it once again channeled the spiritual energy and flew towards the cave.

    An endless amount of earth power surged into Xia Xuan''s body. Because of Xia Xuan, the origin energy did not transmit it to anything else, and the meridian on the wall also withered at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Of course, Xia Xuan did not care about the Wanyuan Ridge, as long as it could increase his own strength, even if the Wanyuan Ridge truly destroyed him, he would not hesitate.

    Moreover, the earth''s power had the effect of tempering the body and bones. Some Divine General''s residences gave some earth power to disciples to consume in order to cultivate their disciples, but they could only get a little bit of it.''s unending absorption of the earth''s power could be said to be lacking resources even among the The Divine King''s Mansion s.

    Following the influx of the power of earth into his body, Xia Xuan''s physique was also undergoing an earth-shaking transformation.''s physique which had obtained the Shrine''s was already very difficult to strengthen, but the power of earth did have the ability to do so.

    After absorbing for nearly an hour, Xia Xuan stopped absorbing and opened his binocular. In his eyes, the entire Wanyuan Ridge was on display, as if his every action and action could control everything. This feeling only lasted for an instant before disappearing, and in that instant, Xia Xuan became the origin.

    "Kid, do you know the consequences of absorbing more Earth power?" A voice filled with spiritual energy s sounded out, and that voice directly entered Xia Xuan''s mind. It was very clear, the source that surrounded him did not have any effect in blocking it.

    To be able to cause his voice to not be obstructed from reaching his brain, his first reaction was that this person was very strong, to the point that the current Xia Xuan was completely unable to retaliate in front of him.

    With a sudden leap, Xia Xuan''s entire person rushed out of the cave and stood on the ground, nervously looking towards the direction of the voice. Not far away, there was a man standing there with his ears pointed, although he was in a human form, he was not human, and had come to stop Xia Xuan from absorbing the spirit energy.

    "It''s you." Seeing that they were all in one group, Xia Xuan became more vigilant, but his heart was still in one piece. Although he was the host of the competition, it was difficult for him to say whether or not the fusion would be beneficial to him.

    "Don''t be nervous. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn''t have waited till now. I''ve been waiting here for over an hour." A gentle and kind smile appeared on his face, as though he was trying to make Xia Xuan lower his guard.

    Of course, Xia Xuan would not let down his guard just because of these words. He stood up straight and stared coldly at Blend, and said in a cold voice: "Who knows if you''re being cautious, and it seems that you intentionally made me separate from my comrades, and even made others stand by my side."

    "Sigh ~" GongRong sighed and said, "The Queen told me to give this to you." A crystal-like storage ring, even though it was just a storage ring, Xia Xuan could still feel a large amount of spiritual energy''s energy from it.

    "The Spiritual World will not participate in all wars, so even the Queen will not be able to send troops to help you, but spiritual energy have plenty of resources, I believe these things are extremely useful to the current God-Slaying Manor." The man in black said again. Then, he threw the storage ring back to Xia Xuan.

    Receiving the storage ring, Xia Xuan also trusted his. Naturally, he knew who he was talking about after beating up the Queen.

    "Thank you." Xia Mu repeatedly wrapped the Spirit Storage Ring with spiritual energy to prevent the powerful spiritual energy from spreading out. Then, he put it away and cupped his hands towards GongRong as he spoke.

    "I''m just following orders." Gong Rong waved his hand and turned to walk out of the cave with Xia Xuan and Hua Ling following behind him.

    "Oh right, those resources say that there is a martial arts manual. Although you are very strong, you shouldn''t reveal too much of it. This martial art is useful to you." As he was walking, Gong Rong suddenly turned and said to Xia Xuan.

    "Please thank the Queen for me." Xia Xuan cupped his hands towards GongRong with thanks, but his words were a bit courteous.

    Hearing Xia Xuan''s polite words, all of the brow frowned and muttered: "The Queen has been thinking about you, and is still keeping her promise." After he finished speaking, he suddenly activated the spiritual energy and instantly disappeared.

 C307

    Chapter 307 - Conflicts (1)

    "What did you say?" Hua Ling asked Xia Xuan curiously. She did not understand the conversation between Xia Xuan and the two of them at all, but she could vaguely sense that Xia Xuan was not a simple person.

    "Nothing." Xia Xuan naturally did not answer, and just followed the path they came from after a short while.

    Seeing that, Hua Ling shrugged her shoulders and followed Xia Xuan back the way they came from.

    Very quickly, the blending that had disappeared appeared in the air above the Wanyuan Ridge once more. At this moment, the other elders of the Divine General''s Estate were still watching the performance of the disciples in their own residences, and the changes in their expressions were extremely marvelous. The disciples that were sent over were the geniuses of their respective residences.

    "Thank you for your hard work." The right elder walked in front of GongRong and respectfully cupped his hands as he spoke.

    The other Elders'' mouths twitched in their hearts when they saw this. After which, they also walked in front of Blessing, cupped their hands, and said some words that caused them to be beaming.

    However, binocular would occasionally turn towards the ground, and with their strength, they could clearly see every corner of the Wanyuan Ridge. And in the place where their eyes could only see Xia Xuan and Hua Ling, who had just flown out of the cave.

    After flying out of the cave, Xia Xuan looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he waved his hand, and the gigantic spiritual energy lifted up countless of soil and trees, covering the cave in a simple manner.

    "Let''s find a secluded place to rest first. After I finish cultivating my martial arts, we will go to Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain." After finishing everything, Xia Xuan clapped his hands and said to Hua Ling before he walked into the distance.

    High up in the sky above Wanyuan Ridge, the various Palace Elders were still paying attention to the disciples in their own residences. However, some of their residences had already been destroyed, but those Elders had not left in anger like the Elders of the Fire Phoenix Mansion, as that would cause them to lose face in their residences.

    Before he left, another group of disciples came to the end of his life. Many elders started to pay attention to the disciples of the other residences, and the person they were paying the most attention to was not the strong Great God General Palace disciples, but the disciples of the Deicide Talisman.

    The God-Slaying Manor had only sent out seven people, and compared to the other Divine General Palaces, they were the smallest in number. Furthermore, every person''s cultivation was of a lower level as well.

    Wang Hao and the other three were gathered together early on, and when the six of them cooperated with each other, they were existences that were far above average in terms of strength. On the way, the six of them had collected a lot of treasures, and the people who obstructed them had all been eliminated.

    With a large amount of treasures, the strength of the six of them increased by leaps and bounds. Although the six of them had only just broken through to the Mysterious Sect Realm, all six of them had now reached the second grade Mysterious Sect.

    "Old Right, where did you get that seed? It''s really amazing." A Old Man in the sky who had nothing to do came close to the Right Clan Elder and asked curiously.

    "The seedlings have come all by themselves. Perhaps it is the Lord''s blessing." The right elder naturally would not say that the seven disciples in his residence were the six Great God Generals of the past, and only replied as if he was joking.

    "Humph!" Celestial King already doesn''t know how many have died, but I was hoping that he would protect you all. No wonder God-Slaying Manor became like this. " Suddenly, a mocking laughter rang out. When everyone looked towards the source of the laughter, they would see a white clothed Old Man standing not too far away looking extremely relaxed, as if he did not care about the anger on the right clan elder''s face.

    "Grandson, be careful with your words. Our Lord is not someone you can insult." The right clan elder roared at the white clothed Old Man. Every Divine General had faith in their own residences, so even if they had to commit suicide, they would not insult their own lord. Now that they heard the White Robe Old Man speak rudely, the Right Elder immediately lost his rationality.

    "Laozi is called Sun Youzi. If you call me grandson again, do you believe that I won''t panic with you?" Being called a grandson by the right clan elder, the white robed Old Man was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, as he shouted at the right clan elder.

    "Humph!" Even if you''re not in a hurry today, I''ll still be in a rush with you. " The elder on the right angrily snorted again as he channeled his spiritual energy and rushed towards Sun Youcai.

    He hated people calling him grandson the most in his life. Since the right elder had angered him, he naturally would not let it go, he immediately activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards the right head.

 C308

    Chapter 308 - Conflicts (2)

    The two of them clashed fiercely, and immediately, a huge wave of spiritual energy undulations spread out. The weaker Divine General''s Mansion Elders around could not endure the impact of the spiritual energy, and even after using all their strength to defend, they were still pushed back several meters.

    What was astonishing was that Sun Youdao was unable to match up against the right elder in this head-on exchange. This Sun Youcai''s strength had also reached a heaven-defying level.

    After a solid exchange of blows, the two of them suddenly pulled apart because their opponent was too strong. The two of them stood in the air and stared at each other.

    "Humph!" a thousand years ago, you were still no match for me. " The right Old Man snorted coldly.

    "Sorry, The Divine King''s Mansion does have a lot of resources, if you have to blame something, you can only blame your master for being too useless, he doesn''t even have the strength to protect the manor." Sun Youdao sneered. His words made the right elder quite angry.

    The right senior elder did not say anything more and rushed towards Sun Youcai. Sun Youcai was not afraid. He also rushed towards the right senior elder.

    Just as the two were about to clash once again, a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them, his sharp ears blending together. At this time, both his arms were stretched out, wanting to take the attack from Elder Right and Sun Youcai.

    Because the blending had happened too suddenly, the right Elder and Sun Youcai were so angry that they didn''t have enough time to stop. Their fists collided with the blending palm.

    The following scene left all the Palace Elders greatly shocked. Let alone forcefully receiving the attacks of the two, even one of them would not be able to withstand it. However, when the two of them combined their attacks and were struck by it, there was no movement from their spiritual energy at all, and even the two of them did not react at all.

    "Bang!" An enormous spiritual energy burst out from his body, sending both Sun Youcai and the Right Elder flying.

    He coldly looked at the two of them, and said with an ice-cold voice. "I have my support for this competition, I hope everyone will give me some face and not cause any more trouble."

    Their words truly shocked everyone. No one dared to speak anymore, and no one dared to speak to the envoy from The Spiritual World.

    One must know that although these two were not gods, their strength was already considered as gods. If they were to be converted to a Divine Rank, then they would at least be at the Soldier King level, and if one wanted to forcefully withstand the attacks of the two, even Divine Masters would find it difficult to do so. Thus, the confluence in front of them might have already reached their Master''s strength.

    Facing such an expert, even the elder of The Divine King''s Mansion, Sun You, did not dare to offend him, and immediately stopped talking.

    "This must be the God-Slaying Manor''s Right Elder, right? He is indeed getting stronger and stronger." These words intimidated everyone. They all turned to look at the silent Right Elder, who spoke with a hint of respect and sincerity.

    "I do not dare to say so, in front of an envoy, an Elder''s position is nothing." When he heard the sincere voice, the right elder immediately understood what it meant. He cupped his hands and said with a wide smile.

    Seeing the both of them conversing happily with the Right Clan Elder, Sun You''s face flushed red. He did not expect God-Slaying Manor and the The Spiritual World to have such a relationship, it was extremely disadvantageous for the The Divine King''s Mansion.

    Of course, thinking about it in his heart, but he did not dare to take any actions. Although the The Divine King''s Mansion was powerful, he did not dare to offend the The Spiritual World, otherwise, he would not be able to take the consequences.

    Ever since Xia Xuan absorbed the Origin Energy, he brought the Hua Spirit to a barren mountain. This mountain was extremely special within the Wanyuan Ridge. The entire mountain was made up of a type of spirit essence stone that even Mysterious Sect experts would not be able to break through.

    On this mountain, there were many spirit beast s called Mountain Piercing Dog. These spirit beast could pierce spirit stones and build a nest within. Piercing dog meat was delicious and extremely nutritious, and it was a delicacy that many practitioners pursued. However, at this time, no one would spend a lot of time to catch a Piercing Dog, thus no one came to this barren mountain.

    A figure stood at the peak of the mountain with his eyes closed. The spiritual energy was circulating within his body in a specific route and both of his palms had turned a fiery red color. The air around his body seemed to be boiling.

    Suddenly, Xia Xuan opened his eyes, and the gigantic spiritual energy congealed in his palm, he raised his hand high up, and pierced down fiercely towards the ground.

    If there were anyone else present, they would have been so shocked that they would not close their mouths. Xia Xuan''s arm had pierced straight through the ground, it had to be said that the ground was made of spirit essence stones.

    Xia Xuan''s arm suddenly pulled out from the ground. In his hand, he was holding something that looked like a dog but not a dog, or a pangolin but not a pangolin either.

    "Fierce Cloud Palm, a top rank Earth Realm martial art. It is indeed powerful." Looking at the Mountain Piercing Dog in his hand and then looking at the bright red palm, he could not help but laugh. Although the name was not domineering at all, like an ordinary martial art, just this kind of martial art could help Xia Xuan a lot.

    He calmed his aura and turned to look at the center of Wanyuan Ridge. Ten days had already passed, and with the Ten Thousand House Mountain almost opening, it was likely that the disciples there were fighting for the treasures, striving to increase their strength in the last moments.

    "Spirit." Xia Xuan called out from the bottom of the mountain, and then a beautiful figure quickly ran to the top of the mountain, it was Hua Ling.

    "Take it. After eating this meal, you''re ready to go to Ten Thousand Yuan Mountain." After handing the Piercing Mountain Dog over to Hua Ling, Xia Xuan turned his gaze towards the center of the Wanyuan Ridge. After so long, he still did not know what had happened to Wang Hao and the rest.

 C309

    Chapter 309 - Trouble (1)

    Although the Wanyuan Ridge was only a piece of land that had been moved from the The Spiritual World, its area was definitely not small. Even after travelling for a day, they still did not see any signs of the Wanyuan Ridge.

    Of course, Xia Xuan was not in a rush, there were still a few days until the opening of the Thousand Court Mountain, so they could still search for treasures during this period of time. After all, Hua Ling had not obtained anything, and with her strength, protecting himself would be a little difficult, so when he really rushed to the top of the Thousand Court Mountain, he did not have time to take care of a little girl.

    "Stop." As he was walking, Xia Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, and stared straight ahead. Although it was just a forest in front of him, the atmosphere was too quiet, even if there were no other disciples from the Divine General''s Manor passing by, there should still be insects chirping and birds chirping. However, there was no sound at all, everything seemed to be on guard.

    "What''s wrong?" Wal ingford asked curiously.

    "Stand back, at least three hundred meters away." Xia Xuan''s gaze was still fixated on the forest in front of him. In that moment, he had already sensed no less than ten powerful auras, and although these people were not enough to threaten him, he did not know how many experts he had yet to sense.

    Hua Ling also understood what had happened, and without hesitation, she turned around and ran off into the distance, only stopping after she had ran out three hundred meters. She turned her head to look in the direction of Xia Xuan and discovered that there were already several figures walking out from the forest, all of their Qi having reached the Mysterious Sect realm.

    "No matter how poor the God-Slaying Manor is, it shouldn''t be possible to send a Xuanhuang over. We suspect that you are the reincarnation of the Deicide." A man dressed in yellow robes walked out from the forest. The man was none other than Huang Yue.

    "Why are you blabbering so much, just kill them all. You would rather kill a hundred than let a single one off." Another figure sounded, and another man walked out from the Forest. It was cryptogeny.

    Looking at these two people, Xia Xuan could not help but frown. He naturally recognized them at a glance, and they were the disciples of the Primal Chaos and Samsara Palaces whom the Evil God Manor had requested help from before. When they thought about how Xia Xuan had killed Evil God Manor''s disciples in front of them, why did he appear here? Naturally, the only thing they wanted to do now was to kill him.

    "Since you''ve guessed who I am, you still dare to attack me?" Xia Xuan''s brow spread out. Towards these two Great God''s General Residence''s people, even Xia Xuan was afraid, and had no choice but to try and let the two teams go.

    "Since you''ve admitted it yourself, then don''t blame us for being impolite. With so many of us here, we really aren''t afraid of your mere Xuanhuang." Hearing what Xia Xuan said, the two squads did not seem surprised at all. Instead, there was a smile on their faces as Huang Yue spoke out.

    Everyone had spiritual energy secretly circulating in their bodies, preparing to attack Xia Xuan together. That scene was not good for Xia Xuan.

    "Don''t force me." Xia Xuan''s body unconsciously bent down, as though he was a wild beast being hunted by a group of hunters, vigilant of the movements of the hunters.

    "Isn''t it unwise for you to say such things at a time like this?" The cryptogeny laughed coldly, then disappeared. In the next moment, he appeared just a few meters away from Xia Xuan. The spiritual energy condensed on top of his fist and his entire arm was like a pike.

    Although it was not comparable to the Fierce Cloud Palm, but when he used it against an expert of cryptogeny''s level, even Xia Xuan did not dare to go all out. He immediately unleashed the flash lightning to the extreme, and his figure disappeared in a flash, and in the next instant, he appeared on top of a large tree branch a few metres away.

    "What a kid, his speed is really fast." After his attack failed, cryptogeny looked around and quickly found the distant Xia Xuan. Even he could not help but be shocked by the speed at which Xia Xuan displayed it, and immediately praised.

    "If you have time, praise us. Quickly finish the battle!" Suddenly, a figure rushed out, directly rushing towards Xia Xuan. Huang Yue whose Spirit Qi had been completely released, had actually reached the peak of Grade Five Mysterious Sect, although he could not win against Xia Xuan with such strength, adding a Grade Five Mysterious Sect rank cryptogeny on top of that, it was a completely different story.

 C310

    Chapter 310 - Trouble (2)

    Just as Huang Yue was about to charge towards Xia Xuan, the cryptogeny drilled into the ground and actually fused into Huang Yue''s shadow, and rushed at the same speed as Huang Yue.

    Although the two of them only had Grade Five Mysterious Sect, being the top geniuses within their respective Divine General Palaces, they naturally had the strong backing of their respective residences. Ordinary sixth-grade Mysterious Sect was absolutely no match for them, and when paired together, these two powerhouses would not be able to retaliate at all even if they had seventh-grade Mysterious Sect.

    Facing such cooperation, Xia Xuan clenched his teeth, and the flamethrower appeared in his hands. It was too late for him to dodge, he could only take it head-on, and the flamethrower immediately stood horizontally in front of him, wanting to block Huang Yue''s attack.

    Seeing Xia Xuan''s extremely foolish action, the corner of Huang Yue''s mouth couldn''t help but reveal a pleased smile. Immediately after, a longsword appeared in his hands, and the spiritual energy wrapped around the longsword directly chopped towards Xia Xuan.

    As expected, Xia Xuan did not dodge at all. The flamethrower lay horizontally in front of him and directly blocked Huang Yue''s attack.

    "The first generation of Deicide, they actually exposed their backs in front of the enemy." Just then, the cryptogeny walked out from Xia Xuan''s shadow. The dark aura made Xia Xuan feel cold.

    The claws that contained the spiritual energy were about to grab onto Xia Xuan''s heart. If it were to be grabbed by force, Xia Xuan''s heart would probably be pulled out.

    Just then, Xia Xuan suddenly let go of the flamethrower''s hand, but after releasing it, Huang Yue''s longsword did not succeed in hacking down. As a semi-divine apparatus, it was possible for it to hold on for a while.

    Letting go of the flamethrower, Xia Xuan turned around fiercely. The spiritual energy was flying at a fast speed along a fixed path in his body, and the air around him instantly boiled up. Both of his palms also quickly turned fiery-red, and directly thrusted towards the palm cryptogeny had grabbed.

    Regarding Xia Xuan''s actions, cryptogeny naturally did not expect it, but he was already unable to react at this moment. Watching the two hands collide, and then, a sharp pain came from his palm. Xia Xuan''s attack had actually shattered cryptogeny''s palm.

    After injuring cryptogeny with one move, Xia Xuan turned around again. At this time, the flamethrower was almost at its limit and was about to be suppressed. Suddenly channeling the spiritual energy, Xia Xuan grabbed onto it with both hands and used a special method to make the flamethrower vibrate several hundred times in an instant. Only then did Huang Yue''s attack dissolve.

    After using such a bizarre method to dissolve Huang Yue''s attack, Xia Xuan''s figure disappeared in a flash, and in the next instant, he appeared not too far away again. It was just that at this time, there were other disciples surrounding and annihilating Xia Xuan. Although they were afraid of Xia Xuan, they simply relied on their numbers and power, without any fear at all.

    Under the siege of so many people, Xia Xuan could only try his best to avoid them, but occasionally attacking did not relieve much of his pressure.

    "This won''t do. The thirty-six moves are the best course of action." Once again dodging a disciple''s attack, Xia Xuan thought to himself, about what to do next.

    "It''s really painful, because very few people can hurt me with my power of the Netherworld Udumbara. I am now more and more convinced that you are the reincarnation of the Deicide." The cryptogeny that was injured by Xia Xuan quickly endured the pain, and when he looked at Xia Xuan once again, his eyes were filled with madness.

    "A group of lunatics, I won''t play with you guys anymore." Xia Xuan looked at the cryptogeny, said something quickly, and then disappeared in a flash.

    Xia Xuan had unleashed the fourth stage of the flash lightning to its limit. No one was able to find out where Xia Xuan had went, but their search in all four directions was fruitless.

    At this time, cryptogeny was the fastest, the moment Xia Xuan disappeared, he immediately thought of what he could do, and immediately looked towards the direction of Hua Ling''s eyes, and sure enough, he saw Xia Xuan.

    "Swish!" A sound of rushing wind rang out. cryptogeny chased after Xia Xuan without the slightest hesitation.

    Sensing that the cryptogeny was chasing them, Xia Xuan picked up the Hua Ling and wrapped the two people up like crazy. Once again, he entered the space and disappeared. However, cryptogeny was already prepared this time. With a single glance, he saw the direction in which Xia Xuan was escaping in, and he immediately used his body to chase after Xia Xuan.

    "Stop looking, chase them all." In the forest, when Huang Yue saw this scene, he turned and shouted at the disciples who were still in a daze, and immediately brought a group of disciples to chase after the cryptogeny s.

    In the Wanyuan Ridge, a trace of the Lightning''s power flashed through the air. Only the truly strong could feel that it was a speed type martial art that could hide in space, its speed was extremely fast.

    Of course, although Xia Xuan was fast, flash lightning was definitely not an unlimited amount of martial arts, and the consumption to spiritual energy s was extremely huge. It just happened that Xia Xuan''s cultivation was not that high, and was unable to persevere for long, and had already stopped after an hour had passed.

    Sensing that only half of the spiritual energy remained in his body, Xia Xuan immediately swallowed two of them, and then looked towards the two Great God s who were chasing after him relentlessly.

    "Haha, you don''t have enough spiritual energy, right? Let''s see how you still run." cryptogeny chased closely behind. Seeing Xia Xuan who was still in the air, he could not help but reveal a crazed smile.

    When the cryptogeny was just a hundred meters away from Xia Xuan, a figure would appear sometimes and directly stand in front of him. When the cryptogeny collided with the shadow, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower would immediately be absorbed by the shadow, scaring the cryptogeny out of her wits and she quickly retreated.

    "Compared to the power of the Netherworld, I''ve never been afraid of anyone." When the figure appeared, it was actually Su Bing!

 C311

    Chapter 311 - Sharp Edge (1)

    Su Bing had his hands behind his back, the way he stood tall in the sky caused cryptogeny to be completely shocked, and from the cryptogeny on Su Bing''s body, he felt a sense of pressure, a pressure that came from a soul.

    "Just who are you?" The cryptogeny asked Su Bing. The netherworld was no ordinary power, and in the entire Myriad Academies Competition, there were less than ten people who could use the netherworld''s energy, to such an extent, he had never heard of.

    "You used to be a disciple of the Nether Realm, right? Moreover, you might have been a senior disciple. It''s just that you moved to the Rebirth Hall later on." Su Bing reported his name to himself tomorrow and said instead.

    "Are you the reincarnation of the Lord?" As intelligent as the cryptogeny, he naturally guessed at Su Bing''s background very quickly. Now that the Netherworld Udumbara Palace had been swallowed by the Evil God Manor, the power of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower couldn''t appear again, and it was even more impossible for someone like Su Bing to appear. So he could only think of one person, and that was the reincarnation of the Netherworld God.

    "You guessed it right. The reward is for not dying." Su Bing did not shy away, he admitted it straight away, his speech was filled with confidence.

    At this time, Huang Yue had already arrived with a group of disciples, and just happened to see Su Bing.

    "Unfortunately, our side does not only have this few people. Right now, it seems like you cannot fight against so many of us by yourself." cryptogeny said proudly.

    "Unfortunately, we have more than just a handful of people here." Another voice sounded, and then two figures appeared beside Su Bing. Both of them were familiar people, Wang Hao and Shangguan Zelong.

    Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the three of them completely released their auras at the same time. The strength of the three people now were actually a lot stronger than when they first arrived in Wanyuan Ridge, and they were actually all experts at the peak of the second stage of Mysterious Sect.

    The three second stage Mysterious Sect were not scary at all. What was terrifying was that Su Bing was still the reincarnation of the Netherworld God and that Xia Xuan was also the reincarnation of the Deicide. It was unknown if Wang Hao and Shangguan Zelong was the reincarnation of some kind of god, so even though there were still a lot of people on the side of the cryptogeny, they were still extremely fearful.

    "And who are you?" cryptogeny asked Wang Hao and Shangguan Zelong.

    "The names Angry Flame God and Feather God shouldn''t be low either." Wang Hao laughed complacently, and the words that came out startled cryptogeny and the others. The four Divine Generals were not people people people like them could handle, there was only one outcome for them if they stayed, and that was the miserable death of Wanyuan Ridge.

    "Withdraw." Without hesitation, he issued an order. cryptogeny and Huang Yue brought a group of disciples and quickly left. Xia Xuan and the rest did not chase after them, they did not care about the life and death of cryptogeny and the rest, as long as they did not cause trouble, there was no need to look for trouble.

    "Haha." Looking at the group of cryptogeny s walking away, Wang Hao and the other two burst out in laughter.

    "Not bad, you guys. You guys haven''t seen your strength increase a lot in such a short time." Xia Xuan comforted the three who were laughing loudly.

    "He can compare to you? Right now, you should already be at the sixth stage of Xuanhuang. " The three of them turned their heads. Based on their strength, they could tell that Xia Xuan, who had absorbed the power of the earth, had already reached the sixth stage of Xuanhuang.

    "Speaking of which, who is this person?" Shangguan Zelong pointed to the Hua Ling and asked.

    "The disciples of the Bingling Manor, Hua Ling, just happened to save you." Xia Xuan realized that he was still hugging onto the Hua Ling and quickly put her down, as he introduced her.

    "Boy, your luck with women is quite good." Wang Hao said shamelessly, causing Hua Ling''s face to turn red. He lowered his head shyly, not knowing what to say.

    "Don''t spout nonsense. I only have some friendship with the Ice Spirit God, it''s only right for me to help." Xia Xuan hurriedly explained.

    "Haha." Everyone laughed out loud.

    "What about the others?" Xia Xuan looked at his surroundings, and when he did not see anyone else, he immediately asked.

    "If you come with us, you''ll be surprised." Wang Hao waved his hand and flew away, leading the way. Su Bing and Shangguan Zelong looked at each other and chased after Wang Hao.

    "Together?" Xia Xuan looked at the Hua Ling who was still bowing her head and asked.

    "Yes." "En." Hua Ling nodded.

    Seeing that, Xia Xuan did not say anything more, he immediately used his spiritual energy to chase after Wang Hao and the other two, while Hua Ling also quickly chased after them.

    Wang Hao''s group did not go far. They only flew slowly for two hours before arriving at an empty area in the forest.

 C312

    Chapter 312 - Sharp Edge (2)

    There were man-made houses here, and there were even some disciples of the Divine General''s estate competing in cultivation. Those disciples mostly came from different Divine General palaces, and they did not seem to be enemies. The faces of the disciples in the competition were all filled with smiles.

    The most mystical thing was that when the disciples of the various Divine General Palaces saw Wang Hao and the other two, they all respectfully bowed. Wang Hao and the other two also nodded their heads lightly, as if they were the leaders of the disciples.

    In the eyes of the audience, Xia Xuan and the Hua Ling were merely rookies of the Xuanhuang Realm. In a tournament where only the strong survive, Xuanhuang was only a burden. As a result, Xia Xuan could see a trace of disgust in their eyes.

    He turned his head to look at the Hua Ling and discovered that she was buried her head in her chest after the fight. She didn''t dare to look directly into their eyes.

    "Don''t worry about others. You''ll be the successor of the Ice Ling Family in the future. As long as you work hard in the future, the Ice Spirit God''s Shrine will also be yours one day. These people will all be trampled under your feet." Letting out a sigh in his heart, Xia Xuan gently caressed the head of Hua Ling as he consoled her with a gentle voice.

    "Yeah." Hua Ling raised her head and looked at the smiling face. A hint of confidence inexplicably appeared in her heart. She nodded and gave a light "En".

    "Although we haven''t been separated for long, we have discovered quite a few things. Not long ago, a huge treasure appeared in the Wanyuan Ridge, and many people went to fight for it. In the end, only two Great God''s generals were able to obtain the treasure, one was our God-Slaying Manor, the other was our The Divine King''s Mansion." Shangguan Zelong, who was walking in front, turned his head and explained to Xia Xuan.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion ˇ­" Honestly speaking, the The Divine King''s Mansion s were the ones she needed to pay the most attention to. As a residence of the Celestial King s, its strength was definitely not that simple. It could be said that after the God-Slaying Manor s lost power, the The Divine King''s Mansion s gained the upper hand among the other Divine General Palaces, and their strengths were definitely not simple.

    "This treasure determines the overall situation of the competition. Right now, the competition is split into two teams. One team is led by the The Divine King''s Mansion, and the other is led by us, the God-Slaying Manor." Shangguan Zelong explained again, "Right now, the two sides are mortal enemies. Based on the current situation, it won''t be long before the two of us fight a big battle."

    After hearing it, Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but crease its eyebrows. It did not expect that such a big thing would happen in half a month''s time, the battle between the two sides would cause the number of people in the competition to decrease by half ah.

    "Our headquarters is right in front of us. Let''s go over and chat." Wang Hao who was walking in the front suddenly spoke out, then fiercely activated his spiritual energy and flew forward.

    Seeing that, Su Bing and Shangguan Zelong also activated their spiritual energy s and chased after him.

    What appeared in front of them was a tent, the only tent in this empty space. The others lived in temporary wooden houses that were made of trees and couldn''t be moved easily, but this tent could.

    At the same time, there were a few people standing in front of the tent. Three of them were led by Mo Youxue, Mo Haoxue and Wu Zhi. Although Xia Xuan did not recognize any of the people around him, they all emanated strong auras, the weakest of them were actually at the peak of the third stage of Mysterious Sect.

    "Wu Zhi, you did not guess wrong, that aura is indeed Xia Xuan." When Wang Hao saw Wu Zhi, he immediately laughed loudly and walked forward.

    "Don''t waste time, there''s movement over at The Divine King''s Mansion." However, there was not a trace of excitement on Wu Zhi''s face from being reunited with Xia Xuan, and there was even a hint of seriousness on his face. After hearing what Wu Zhi had said, whether it was Wang Hao or Su Bing who was behind him, all of the smiles on their faces disappeared, and the solemn expression on their faces made the atmosphere become extremely tense.

    After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he turned and walked back into the tent, and the rest of the people followed after him.

    The group entered the tent, but there was no light in the tent. Even the windows were purposefully obscured, and the entire tent was shrouded in darkness.

    In the darkness of the tent, Wu Zhi waved his hand, causing the spiritual energy to emit light, illuminating the tent. Furthermore, the spiritual energy formed a three-dimensional map.

    "I believe everyone has a certain level of understanding towards the current situation. Not long ago, The Divine King''s Mansion gathered a large number of experts to head over to our side. I believe our position has already been exposed." Wu Zhi pointed to the map and said, on it was a clear picture of the entire Wanyuan Ridge.

    "We''ll deal with them as we can, we''ll deal with them as we can. We have quite a few experts on our side as well. Do we really have to be afraid of them?" A burly man whose strength had reached the fourth stage of Mysterious Sect roared immediately. The words she said matched his appearance, making him look like a brute.

    "We have quite a few experts on our side as well, but they can''t compare to us. Moreover, if we were to fight head on, we would suffer heavy losses. We have to think over this matter over long term." Wu Zhi said as he frowned.

    "But what can we do?" Another brawny man said.

    "If it was not for that, it would be hard for us to deal with him. However, it is different now, the trump card of our God-Slaying Manor, Xia Xuan is here." Wu Zhi said as he pointed to Xia Xuan.

    Those who did not know Xia Xuan all frowned their eyebrows. In their eyes, Xia Xuan was just a mere Xuanhuang, if it wasn''t for Wang Hao and the other six, they would not even let him come to the camp. In the end, Wu Zhi said that he was putting all his hope on this person.

    "It''s just a mere Xuanhuang. How could he place all his hopes on him?" The boor that spoke previously said something again. His words were very straightforward, yet he spoke out everyone''s thoughts. Immediately, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

    "If you don''t believe me, why don''t you try your best? If I can defeat you, what else do you have to say for yourself?" Xia Xuan laughed, his hands behind his back, smiling full of confidence.

 C313

    Chapter 313 - Demonstrations (1)

    "Humph!" "Kid who doesn''t know his place." The boorish man snorted in anger and immediately raised his huge fist. On his fist, a terrifying spiritual energy began to revolve. Right now, the camp was only illuminated by the spiritual energy. It was not very bright in the first place.

    Facing this kind of attack, many people present did not dare say that they could easily take it. With a quick thought, they realized that Xia Xuan only had the strength of Xuanhuang.

    Just as the fist of the boor was about to hit them, they could not help but shake their heads. However, Xia Xuan suddenly punched towards the boor, and if one looked carefully, they would see that the air around Xia Xuan was boiling, and the fists that were punching towards him had become completely red.

    When the fists of the two collided with each other, the seemingly strong brute was instantly defeated. His entire body flew out and directly smashed a table into pieces.

    "Gulp." Seeing that, everyone was shocked, they never thought that Xia Xuan''s strength was actually that strong. Defeating the boorish man in one move, this kind of strength, perhaps only Wang Hao''s group of six could do it, they never thought that the unremarkable Xia Xuan was also so strong.

    "If it wasn''t for the war, I would definitely cripple your arm." Xia Xuan came to the side of the delinquent who had collapsed on the ground and screamed at him while clutching his hands.

    "Like I said, Xia Xuan is the trump card of our God-Slaying Manor. Even if the six of us were to join forces, we might still not be his match." Wu Zhi immediately said, his words almost choking Xia Xuan to death, but luckily Xia Xuan managed to endure it, and said these words exaggeratedly.

    "The God-Slaying Manor is indeed powerful. We are willing to follow the God-Slaying Manor to our deaths." Upon seeing this, a man immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

    Seeing that, the others wanted to follow suit, so they bent their bodies and knelt down, but just at that moment, Xia Xuan waved his hand, causing a wave of spiritual energy s to support them, and even the man who was kneeling down previously was lifted up.

    "We need to sincerely follow you. If we are forced to do this only for the sake of benefits, I hope that everyone will leave." Xia Xuan said in a serious voice, causing those people to break out in cold sweat again.

    "Brat, you''re still the best. Normally, I wouldn''t be able to suppress these people." Wang Hao casually patted Xia Xuan''s shoulder, looking at those people who stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do, his face couldn''t help but reveal a brilliant smile.

    "Speaking of which, that martial arts is not yours. What fortuitous encounter did you have?" Wu Zhi who was the smartest immediately noticed the most important part and spoke of it.

    "I found the Origin Skill earlier, a martial art that I coincidentally acquired." Xia Xuan nodded his head, and his words caused everyone to be shocked. Originally, everyone thought that the super treasure would be the best one out of all the treasures in Wanyuan Ridge, but they never thought that Xia Xuan would instantly find it.

    "Ai, I still can''t beat you." Wang Hao sighed, but this made everyone burst out laughing.

    The following time was to prepare for the arrival of the The Divine King''s Mansion. After Wu Zhi detailed his plan a few times, he let everyone go prepare. Afterwards, the entire campground started to boil, and everyone became abnormally busy.

    While walking in the camp, Xia Xuan discovered that the disciples of the Divine General''s Manor shared a common ground. The Divine General''s manor they belonged to was either the Divine General''s mansion which had rebelled against the The Divine Realm or their own manor was too weak, which meant that most of these people were here to seek protection.

    "These people are definitely unreliable, I wonder what kind of reliable items Wu Zhi prepared." Xia Xuan frowned, he had obviously guessed that Wu Zhi would not place his hopes on these unreliable people, he definitely had other cards up his sleeves.

    "Swish!" Right at this moment, a mass of aura light swooshed into the sky and exploded in the sky, forming the shape of a skull.

    Seeing this signal, Xia Xuan could not help but crease his eyebrows. Wu Zhi had told him before that this signal meant that the The Divine King''s Mansion was here and that everyone in the camp was on alert.

 C314

    Chapter 314 - Demonstrations (2)

    Not daring to stay for even a second, Xia Xuan immediately activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards the camp.

    In a split-second, Xia Xuan arrived at the tent. At this time, the experts of the various Divine General Palaces had already gathered in front of the tent. Upon seeing that Xia Xuan had arrived, Wu Zhi immediately walked over and said, "Quickly, we''re short of you."

    Xia Xuan nodded and went into the tent with a type of person.

    Once again, Wu Zhi waved his hand, and a wave of spiritual energy once again formed a map. On the map, there were a lot of models, one on the The Divine King''s Mansion, who were quickly surrounding them, and the other in the tent, who were waiting for them.

    "The speed of the The Divine King''s Mansion is faster than we expected. They have already surrounded us, but we can still carry out the previously agreed battle plan as per usual. As long as everyone works hard, we can definitely win." Wu Zhi pointed to the map and said.

    "Don''t worry, we will definitely use a hundred percent of our strength. This is a matter of life and death." However, when he saw Xia Xuan, he could not help but shrink his head, the confidence he revealed a few days ago had all been retracted by a bit.

    "Since everyone knows that this is a matter of life and death, then I won''t say anymore. Everyone can go do what you need to do." Wu Zhi did not delay any further, after he finished speaking, the experts disappeared, and in an instant, only Xia Xuan and the group of God-Slaying Manor were left.

    "Are you really that confident?" Xia Xuan looked at his six companions, and the brow couldn''t help but frown. The victor of this battle had already completely been handed over to him, even he himself suspected that his peers might have such confidence in him.

    "Your growth speed cannot be slower than us. The current you is definitely the strongest. If we don''t believe you, who do we believe?" Wang Hao smiled and put his hand on Xia Xuan''s shoulder. His eyes had a strange light in them, a kind of trust.

    Seeing the trust in Wang Hao''s eyes, Xia Xuan turned his head to look at the others. All of them had the same expression in their eyes;

    "Don''t worry, I will definitely live up to everyone''s expectations." Xia Xuan nodded his head heavily, he had never said it for sure, but once he made a promise, he would do it even if he lost his life.

    Right now, there were many auras hidden outside of the camp. These auras were all extremely powerful, and if one were to carefully sense them, they would be able to sense that they were slowly gathering towards the camp. It was likely that these auras belonged to the people of the The Divine King''s Mansion.

    Of course, it was not as if the God-Slaying Manor was completely unprepared. In the camp, the disciples of the various Divine General palaces were all waiting for the arrival of the The Divine King''s Mansion with Weapons in their hands.

    At this moment, Xia Xuan was seated cross-legged quietly within the tent. On his hand, a Pills was quietly floating, and the spirit medicine was transferring traces of the medicinal power into Xia Xuan''s body. Following the introduction of the medicinal power, Xia Xuan''s aura also slowly rose.

    This Pills came from the ruins of the Lord of the Five Realms. As the strongest practitioner in the past, the Pills that the Lord of the Five Realms had collected were definitely high quality Pills. The Pills Xia Xuan had selected was one that could greatly increase his strength in a short period of time without any side effects.

    Although Xia Xuan with the Three Great God s Equipment could definitely challenge Profound Emperor Rankers beyond his cultivation realm, he couldn''t easily use these things which could easily be recognized by the other elders of the Divine General''s Hall. Therefore, in order to alleviate the crisis, he would need the assistance of a few Pills.

    As he quietly absorbed the Pills''s energy, Xia Xuan''s consciousness spread over, enveloping not only the campsite, but even the forest outside the campsite. Xia Xuan felt like he could see everything.

    In the forest outside the camp, the disciples of the Divine General''s Estate were slowly walking towards the camp. However, none of them noticed the potential danger that lay within the treetops and shrubs.

    "Bang!" A disciple quietly walked forward, but his feet seemed to have stepped on something, and then a wave of spiritual energy s exploded under his feet. The strength of the spiritual energy''s explosion was so great that even the few disciples nearby were blown away, while the disciple who had triggered the trap was blasted into smithereens.

    "There are traps. Retreat first." The leader of the group immediately roared at all the disciples, and then the disciples all collectively retreated. The outcome of the previous disciple had given everyone a fright.

    "Want to run?" "Too late." Right at this moment, a shout rang out and a ghost-like figure rushed out from the treetop. With a wave of his hand, several small balls flew towards the retreating disciples.

    Those balls exploded upon contact. Their power was the same as the previous traps. Immediately, a large number of disciples were killed and injured by the explosions.

    Standing still, the black figure was none other than Su Bing.

    Right after Su Bing, there were still a lot of people. Every one of them threw out a few balls as sounds of explosions could be heard from the forest.

    "As expected of the God of Wisdom, his Weapons is indeed powerful." The few little balls in Su Bing''s hands revolved non-stop, and he had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

    "Trying to stop us with just this little Weapons? Isn''t that a bit too stupid?" Just then, a voice came out from the spiritual energy. The voice was very powerful, causing Su Bing, who heard it, to frown.

    "Swish!" A figure soared into the sky. As the figure charged into the sky, he waved his hand and an enormous spiritual energy exploded the small balls that were constantly being thrown.

    "From now on, those who retreat die." The figure stood in the sky from afar, the spiritual energy wrapped around the voice once again. Hearing the voice, the hearts of the The Divine King''s Mansion''s group of disciples tightened, but no one dared to resist.

    Chapter 315 - Great War (1)

    "Guo Moyu, is this how you God-Slaying Manor do things?" Wang Hao flew out of the camp and faced the man who was standing in the sky.

    "Wang Hao, it''s time for your God-Slaying Manor to die. Today, I''ll let you guys know what power is." The man called Guo Moyu faintly smiled, as the gigantic spiritual energy burst out, charging towards Wang Hao as soon as it stopped talking, and the two immediately clashed.

    Guo Moyu''s aura had already reached the seventh stage of Mysterious Sect, so this kind of strength was definitely at the peak of the Ten Thousand Court Competition. There were not ten people in the Participant that could be his match, if not for Wang Hao obtaining the treasure, they would not be his match.

    With the Angry Flame God''s soul possession and Wang Hao''s physique that was multiple times stronger than ordinary people, he could barely fight against Guo Moyu in every single move. Although it was difficult to win, it was still possible to fight him five times.

    Every time the two of them collided, a huge wave of spiritual energy would spread out. The disciples of both sides couldn''t help but secretly swallow a few mouthfuls of Saliva s when they saw this scene.

    "Swish", another few figures flashed out. They were Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue.

    The four of them arrived beside Su Bing, exchanged glances with him, and then flew up into the sky. The five of them stood in the sky, not intending to help Wang Hao, and just watched the battle between the two of them.

    "Is he waiting for us?" Right at this moment, a charming laughter sounded out, followed by five figures flying into the air. The auras of the four figures were actually not the slightest bit weaker than Guo Moyu''s.

    "Why can''t I see Ye Hua?" Wu Zhi''s eyes swept across the four of them and could not help but frown as he spoke.

    "Because we are here, there''s no need for Ye Hua to come." Those two figures were standing in the air, and their gazes landed on Su Bing. Those two people were none other than cryptogeny and Huang Yue.

    Looking at the two of them, Su Bing could not help but frowned his eyebrows. In the past, both sides had clashed, but because the two sides'' strengths were similar, it did not matter if they clashed. But now, the two of them had joined the side of the The Divine King''s Mansion, and with the two of them working together, they were not even a match for the seventh stage of the Mysterious Sect.

    "You must be very surprised to see us. The two of us were both disciples of the Nether Realm, so we are honored to be able to fight with the Lord." cryptogeny''s gaze had only locked onto Su Bing. As a former disciple of the Nether Realm, he really wanted to fight with Su Bing.

    "There''s no need to be surprised. I will rebuild the Nether Palace, and there will be many disciples even more outstanding than you." Su Bing''s and the others'' voices were so cold that they did not contain even the slightest bit of emotion. As soon as they finished speaking, their bodies flashed and rushed towards the cryptogeny and Huang Yue. As the Netherworld God turned, he had to personally deal with these two disciples.

    Everyone automatically chose an opponent and each person had their own old opponent. Thus, when the battle started, everyone used their full strength. The battle between the thirteen experts was simply too shocking, and the disciples of both sides were completely stunned.

    "Don''t just stand there. We''re going according to plan." Right at this moment, Xia Xuan suddenly appeared in the middle of the forest. Although his current aura was only at the eighth stage of Xuanzun, no one dared to go against him when the disciples of the God-Slaying Manor''s side saw that he was actually Xia Xuan. The news about Xia Xuan defeating the boorish fellow in one move had spread throughout the camp.

    Both sides were no longer in a daze after their failure. When the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side once again rushed towards the God-Slaying Manor, they released more balls, and explosion after explosion sounded. In front of the powerful balls that Wu Zhi had invented, the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side was unable to resist at all, and immediately, the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side retreated again.

    "Don''t stop, continue attacking." Xia Xuan looked at the continuously retreating army of The Divine King''s Mansion and roared again. After that, everyone''s throwing speed increased by a few points.

    The Divine King''s Mansion''s army were forced all the way, but even rabbits would need people if they were anxious, not to mention these prideful Qi Cultivators. When The Divine King''s Mansion was forced to a broken wall, they who had nowhere to retreat, decided to retaliate, and at the same time, large waves of spiritual energy threw those small balls forward, at the same time, figure after figure increased their speed to the maximum as they rushed towards God-Slaying Manor''s people.

    Chapter 316 - Great War (2)

    "Kill ˇŞ ˇŞ" The spiritual energy condensed into a pike. The person holding the pike rushed forward while shouting.

    Very quickly, Xia Xuan clashed with a disciple of the God-Slaying Manor. Under everyone''s gazes, the pike in Xia Xuan''s hands suddenly waved, and the disciple with a profound strength as high as a first rank was sent flying. Everyone could clearly see that disciple spitting out blood, and a scar that was terrifying from head to toe.

    "Gulp." All of the disciples secretly gulped, and with a casual move, they sent a first stage Mysterious Sect expert flying. This was not something a normal person could do, Xia Xuan''s strength was at least comparable to cryptogeny.

    A Ranker that could oppose the Grade Five Mysterious Sect was absolutely terrifying, Xia Xuan who had charged into the crowd was like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and the disciples were like grain, they were all slapped down by Xia Xuan.

    "Withdraw." Not long after, a shout came out, and The Divine King''s Mansion''s side retreated as if they were escaping.

    With regards to this chance, Xia Xuan would never let it go, he immediately chased after it, the The Divine King''s Mansion people ran as he chased, and as long as he was caught, he would die.

    After chasing for around half an hour, Xia Xuan suddenly stopped. He flew up to the sky and looked down at the people who were still running.

    "Bang!" Not long after Xia Xuan looked down, an explosion sounded. In front of him was a trap area, Xia Xuan''s goal from the very start was to drive these people there.

    Naturally, there were more than one trap. Following the first explosion, a large number of The Divine King''s Mansion disciples died. Although there were more The Divine King''s Mansion disciples, they could not survive this kind of death.

    "Fly, don''t trigger the trap." The disciples wanted to fly up into the sky, but just as they were about to move, they discovered that they were unable to fly at all. There seemed to be a barrier restricting flying in this area.

    Some of them wanted to escape from the trap area, but before they could escape too far, they were hit by the spiritual energy that was thrown over by Xia Xuan. After that, they were all blown up by the powerful force from the trap and died, while others were injured.

    Under Xia Xuan''s control, the people of the The Divine King''s Mansion simply could not escape from the trap zone. They could only watch in horror as their companions were killed and injured.

    After condensing another stream of mass of aura light, Xia Xuan threw it out once again. However, before the mass of aura light even landed on the ground, another spiritual energy attack smashed the mass of aura light that Xia Xuan threw out.

    "How can my The Divine King''s Mansion''s army let you kill them like cabbages?" From that voice, it was as if every single spiritual energy in the world were trembling. Everyone''s gaze seemed to have been attracted by that voice, as they all focused on the space in front of Xia Xuan.

    Under numerous gazes, a figure appeared out of thin air only a dozen or so meters away from Xia Xuan. That person was dressed in black robes, and although there were no bright decorations, his entire body was emitting a powerful aura, and even ordinary people could see that this man was not an ordinary person.

    "I assume this is the famous disciple of the The Divine King''s Mansion, Ye Hua." Xia Xuan said smilingly, there was not a single trace of surprise on his face as he looked at the man in front of him.

    "Although I have never heard of someone like Xia Xuan, I presume you are the reincarnation of the Deicide." This person called Ye Hua had immediately revealed his true ability the moment he opened his mouth, and had actually already guessed Xia Xuan''s true identity. It should be known that even a few elders of the Divine General''s Estate did not manage to guess Xia Xuan''s identity.

    "Smart, as expected of someone who can become the head disciple of the The Divine King''s Mansion, you''re truly powerful." Xia Xuan clapped his hands and praised.

    "This can''t be compared with you. Others might not know, but I do know that before you fell, you were on par with the Celestial King. I believe that you had already surpassed the Divine General Realm back then." Ye Hua said.

    "Words are useless. The outcome of this war still depends on us." Xia Xuan did not say anymore. The pike that was condensed by the spiritual energy had once again turned into a spiritual energy, and the flamethrower appeared in his hands in a flash. Although he could not use the Book of Blood Aura or the Zhenghu blood armor, using the flamethrower was not a problem.

    "The power of the Celestial King." Ye Hua did not have any intention to delay him, he immediately roared, and then a wave of golden spiritual energy wrapped around him, causing his entire being''s Qi to erupt. Ye Hua''s current strength had already reached the peak of the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect.

    "Aren''t you being a little reckless? Shouldn''t the power of the Celestial King be used as a trump card?" Xia Xuan looked at Ye Hua warily. This stance was one where one had to amplify the speed of their moves right from the start.

    "To deal with the famous Deicide, this is the only way." Ye Hua laughed coldly, and immediately after, he activated his spiritual energy and rushed towards Xia Xuan, that imposing Qi was so powerful that even Xia Xuan was shocked by it.

    "Since that''s the case, then I won''t be polite." Xia Xuan gave a cold snort, waved his pike, and walked towards Ye Hua.

    Bang! The two of them clashed fiercely, the flamethrower s that were wrapped in the spiritual energy collided with the fist that was wrapped in the Celestial King''s power, causing the surrounding spiritual energy s to all flee. The battle between the two was extremely intense, and more than half of the outcome of the battle was determined by them.

    "I will not lose this battle. There is a group of comrades who trust me behind me." Xia Xuan said after clashing with Ye Hua.

    "I won''t lose either. I have faith that I will definitely win." Ye Hua also said.

 C317

    Chapter 317 - Chaotic (1)

    Although Ye Hua was strong, the reincarnated was definitely not easy to deal with. Even if Xia Xuan did not cultivate too many martial arts, he could easily deal with him with just his combat skills.

    The Deicide''s Qi quietly wrapped around the flamethrower''s spear tip, and the flamethrower shot out, spiralling towards Ye Hua''s fist. Clank clank clank.

    Facing the flamethrower''s attack, the power of the Celestial King surrounding Ye Hua was like tofu as it easily drilled through. Before Ye Hua could withdraw his attack, the flamethrower had already crushed his entire arm.

    Even though he had guessed Xia Xuan''s true identity from the beginning, but he had still underestimated the Deicide''s strength. It had only been a few rounds, and he had already suffered such heavy injuries.

    "As expected, our The Divine King''s Mansion had no chance of winning this war from the very beginning. I have no plans to participate in this unfair battle." After Ye Hua said this, he released a wave of spiritual energy s, and under everyone''s gaze, Ye Hua disappeared.

    Xia Xuan did not have any intentions of chasing after him. First, let''s not talk about whether it was a plan to lure him away, there was simply no need to chase him down.

    On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Hao''s group was in a state of stalemate. Every one of them had fought before, so they had some understanding of their opponents.

    Among them, Su Bing''s battle was the most intense. cryptogeny and Huang Yue used to be in the Nether Realm, so their coordination was still pretty good. cryptogeny relied on the power of the Netherworld to main attack, while Huang Yue played a supporting role.

    "Bang!" Suddenly, an explosion sounded, Guo Moyu who was fighting Wang Hao was struck by the Intense Cloud Palm, his entire being became extremely weak, his face becoming extremely pale. Guo Moyu never thought that Ye Hua would lose so quickly, nor did he expect that Xia Xuan''s strength was so strong that she would silently give him a heavy palm strike.

    Guo Moyu, who had suffered a palm from Xia Xuan, had already lost his ability to resist. If he continued to fight in the following battles, he would definitely die, but he would not stay, and his side would very quickly lose. But in Guo Moyu''s eyes, what was more important than his own life?

    It was almost exactly the same as Ye Hua''s actions. The enormous spiritual energy burst out of Guo Moyu''s body, and under everyone''s gazes, Guo Moyu flew into the distance. His speed was so fast that even if Wang Hao wanted to chase after him, he wouldn''t be able to.

    "Hurry up and finish everyone else." Xia Xuan stopped Wang Hao who wanted to chase up, and pointed at the two great armies battling in the distance.

    Although the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side had fallen into a trap and suffered heavy losses, they still outnumbered the God-Slaying Manor''s side by a lot. Furthermore, the God-Slaying Manor''s side was unreliable and would choose to escape after a long battle, if this dragged on, the situation might turn around, so they had to finish the battle quickly.

    "Yes." Wang Hao looked at the two armies battling in the distance, and immediately understood what was going on. He nodded his head, and then turned his body to join the other armies in battle, and ended the battle with the fastest speed possible.

    The Su Bing who had always been trapped in a bitter battle had once again blocked Huang Yue''s attack, and then, the cryptogeny channeled his netherworld power and rushed over, but the result was the same. When the cryptogeny and Su Bing clashed, the cryptogeny once again lost against Su Bing, and his entire body was pushed back.

    Just as Su Bing wanted to chase after him, he discovered that both cryptogeny and Huang Yue seemed to be stunned, as their shocked eyes seemed to be looking behind them.

    The six people stood behind Su Bing, with Xia Xuan, Wang Hao, Wu Zhi, Shangguan Zelong, Mo Youxue and Mo Haoxue. The auras they gave off gave off gave off felt like they were dominating the world.

    "As expected of the reincarnation of the Divine General. We never thought of winning this battle. We are already satisfied to be able to fight with our Lord." At this time, the cryptogeny''s face no longer showed any signs of panic, and his voice turned into a deep sigh, "Looking forward to the duel at the peak of the Thousand Court Mountain."

    With that, cryptogeny and Huang Yue turned and left. Xia Xuan also did not have any intentions of chasing them. After all, the two of them were once members of the Nether Realm, they did not join the Nether Realm when the Nether Realm and Evil God Manor merged together, and instead chose to transfer to another Divine General''s Estate. Just by relying on one thing, the two of them were worthy of Su Bing''s pride.

 C318

    Chapter 318 - Chaotic (2)

    The seven of them looked at each other and smiled. Although victory wasn''t that hard to come by, the joy of success was still very good.

    did not chase them all. After all, there were simply too many people, and killing all of them would offend too many Divine General Palaces. This was definitely not a good thing for the developing God-Slaying Manor.

    On the contrary, Xia Xuan had let them go, and had even helped those Divine General''s Estate out of kindness. To the God-Slaying Manor, this was definitely a good thing.

    When the The Divine King''s Mansion''s army retreated, Xia Xuan''s group of seven stood in the sky. Although they still felt joyous about winning the battle, their faces did not reveal it. The gazes of the seven were focused on the people who were following the God-Slaying Manor, and they all came from other God-Slaying Manor s.

    At this moment, none of them had the slightest bit of joy on their faces. All of them were vigilantly watching the people around them.

    The Alliance was only temporary, when the The Divine King''s Mansion was defeated, the threat would disappear. Now that the people were no longer in the Alliance, people around could attack them at any time, but if they relaxed their vigilance, the result was death.

    This was the weakness of the Alliance. One moment they were partners, and the next they were enemies that could endanger their own lives.

    The gazes with which they looked at Xia Xuan and the others were filled with vigilance, more so than the others. It could be said that this great battle was led entirely by the God-Slaying Manor, but the seven people of God-Slaying Manor were comparable to a Divine General Manor. To them, the God-Slaying Manor was the greatest threat.

    The battle had just ended, and Xia Xuan and the rest of the seven had already fought a big battle with the enemy. Right now, they were at their weakest, so it was the best time to kill them.

    Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of the group of people, Xia Xuan waved his hand, and seven Pills appeared in his hands. He tossed six of them towards Wang Hao''s group, and the six of them swallowed the Pills.

    Sensing the Qi emitted by the seven of them, everyone secretly swallowed their Saliva. As the saying goes, no matter how well you do, you shouldn''t interfere in the river. Although this was the best time to group up and attack, there were truly a few Divine General palaces that dared to stand out.

    In the end, everyone left, Xia Xuan and his group also left.

    Above the Thousand Court Mountain, the various elders of the Divine General''s Manor were all discussing about the God-Slaying Manor. The Divine General''s Palace elders led by the God-Slaying Manor were all grateful to the God-Slaying Manor for protecting them, and the Divine General''s Manor elders that followed behind the The Divine King''s Mansion were grateful to the God-Slaying Manor for letting their disciples go.

    "The God-Slaying Manor is really going to rise up soon. If these seven were in my The Divine King''s Mansion, I''m afraid Ye Hua wouldn''t even be able to become the head disciple." The leading clan elder of The Divine King''s Mansion sneered at the right clan elder.

    Amongst all of the Divine General Palaces, only the The Divine King''s Mansion still did not feel grateful to the God-Slaying Manor.

    "Where did it come from? Without enough resources, no matter how talented you are, you will be left alone." With both of his hands behind his back, the Right Elder coldly said.

    "Since that''s the case, why don''t you let these seven people be transferred to my The Divine King''s Mansion, in case they decline and become geniuses." The elder from the The Divine King''s Mansion spoke out again.

    "Humph!" Hearing this, the right clan elder couldn''t help but snort coldly again. The other Divine General''s Palace might not know, but the elders of the The Divine King''s Mansion knew the true identities of Xia Xuan''s group of seven.

    "There''s no need to worry, our Time Mansion and God-Slaying Manor are related to the Divine Palace, and with this kind of genius disciple, my Divine Palace will naturally work hard to nurture them. I believe that these seven disciples will definitely restore the glory of our God-Slaying Manor." Just then, an elder suddenly spoke out, looking at the elder''s clothes and words, he was the elder of Time Mansion.

    "Hmph, I just hope that the genius won''t die prematurely." The Divine General''s estate elder coldly snorted. With a flick of her sleeve, she turned her head to the side, no longer speaking.

    "But I guess it''s still Ye Hua from your residence." The elder of the Time Mansion also flung her sleeves, and together with the elder of the right side, she turned her head to the side, not saying a word.

    Time passed by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the Myriad Court Mountain was about to open.

    This was at the very center of the entire Wanyuan Ridge. A hundred thousand meter tall mountain caused one''s eyes to crack, as if it was a divine mountain that was suppressing the earth. Just by standing outside the mountain, one could feel the majestic atmosphere.

    The entire Ten Thousand Court Mountain was enveloped by a kind of light shield. Being enveloped by this light shield made it impossible to enter the Ten Thousand Court Mountain, they could only stand outside and watch, waiting for the Ten Thousand Court Mountain to open. After the end of the great battle two days ago, Xia Xuan and his group had arrived here.

    Today was the day that the Wanyuan Ridge would open. As the sun gradually rose into the middle of the sky, the air of the entire Wanyuan Ridge seemed to become restless.

    "The final stage of the Myriad Courtyard Competition has begun. The Myriad Courtyard Mountain is open, and the ten Divine General Palaces that first arrived at the peak have obtained a spot in the finals." A powerful voice came down from the top of the mountain, it was so powerful that even the spiritual energy in the air trembled.

    Following the spread of the voice, the light shield that enveloped the Thousand Court Mountain slowly disappeared. The true competition had only started now.

    In a particular forest, Xia Xuan''s group of seven stood in a row. Faintly, one could feel that the auras that had been accumulating power for a long time were like hungry tigers that were charging towards the peak of the mountain.

    "Let''s go, our God-Slaying Manor will shine greatly in this competition." Xia Xuan laughed, he looked at his comrades, and the group of people suddenly erupted with spiritual energy that soared into the sky, and rushed towards the top of Shandong Province.

 C319

    Chapter 319 - Speed (1)

    Following the disappearance of the light shield, countless light figures soared into the sky. The auras of the light figures were extremely strong, but their flying altitude was not very high, and the entire Ten Thousand Court Mountain seemed to be enveloped by some kind of mysterious power, so flying in this place was impossible, and even Mysterious Sect experts could only fly around twenty meters high.

    Seven figures rushed out from within the forest below at the same time. Compared to the other disciples of the Divine General''s Hall, the seven of them could be said to have started somewhat late.

    In terms of speed, other than Xia Xuan, Su Bing was the fastest of the seven. Even in the The Divine Realm, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that had turned into a shadow was considered outstanding in terms of speed. , who had turned into a shadow, did not seem to be very fast, but he had already left Wang Hao and the rest behind.

    Xia Xuan''s speed was also not inferior to Su Bing''s. It seemed that Su Bing had already pushed his speed to the limit, but Xia Xuan was also not too far behind. Exerting the limit of the fourth stage of flash lightning, he followed closely behind Su Bing.

    "Don''t be too far behind, I''ll be leaving first." Mo Youxue said to the others from behind. Then, she channeled her divine power and transformed into a phoenix with a shake of his body. With the increase in her strength, Mo Youxue was also able to change into a lot of different beast forms. Furthermore, the changes on his body were a lot cooler than before.

    In the past, when Mo Youxue had transformed into her beast form, she looked like a normal beast, and didn''t have much growth rate compared to her body, so it was normal for him to deal with ordinary people. However, right now, Mo Youxue''s Phoenix form was like a rainbow feather, his body was sixty meters wide and his entire body was emitting a strong aura, as though she was a real phoenix.

    After transforming into the form of a phoenix, Mo Youxue''s speed had also increased explosively, bringing about a ray of multicolored light as she chased after Su Bing and Xia Xuan.

    The remaining four people looked at each other in dismay. They could all see a trace of helplessness in the other party''s eyes. In terms of speed, these three fellows were indeed too strong.

    Xia Xuan, who had been flying at full speed, would occasionally look around, only to see other Divine General''s Palace disciples being left behind one after another. No matter how fast they were, they were unable to catch up, and in the end, disappeared from his field of vision.

    Just as Xia Xuan was about to increase his speed again, he felt a strange gaze looking at him, and anxiously turned his head to look around, but he did not find the source of the gaze. However, Xia Xuan believed that there was someone watching him, and the feeling earlier was definitely not an illusion.

    Since he could not find the source of the gaze, Xia Xuan no longer searched. Instead, he spread out his consciousness and kept watch of the surroundings movements, at the same time, his speed increased, trying to see if he could shake off the person who was secretly watching him.

    Although the Thousand Court Mountain was huge, under the situation where one had to display this kind of extreme speed to the extreme, it would only take less than an hour for one to reach the top. However, in all of the previous tournament, there were very few people who could reach the top in an hour, because there was an essential obstacle in the process of reaching the top, which was the other Participant s.

    Just as Xia Xuan wanted to increase his speed yet again, a dragon formed from spiritual energy rushed over explosively. That aura was so ferocious that even Xia Xuan did not dare to take it head-on.

    With a fierce turn of his body and a Fierce Cloud Palm, he forcefully dispersed the spiritual energy.

    His gaze turned towards the direction the Giant dragon was rushing towards. In the distance, he saw a man chasing after it quickly. That man was none other than Guo Moyu.

    Upon seeing Guo Moyu, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but frown. He saw that there were many other people not far from him, and they were all the chief disciples of the various Divine General Palaces. Their auras were not weak, and amongst them, the strongest was Ye Hua.

    It had to be said that although Xia Xuan was very strong, when these people tried their best to stop him, it was difficult for him to reach the top.

    "Su Bing, you are the fastest, we will stay behind. As long as one of us manages to reach the top, our Palace will be number one." Xia Xuan said to Su Bing who was in front of him, and without turning back, he rushed towards the people behind him who wanted to stop him.

    At such a time, Su Bing knew what was important and what was not. Without further ado, he activated his maximum speed and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

    Xia Xuan led Wang Hao and the other three to stay behind to stop the attack, but the targets they had to stop were all the strongest people. With Xia Xuan and the other four to stop them, the number of people chasing after Su Bing had decreased by a lot. Of course, with Young Master Shao and Xia Xuan''s group of five, they weren''t able to stop everyone either. There were still some people who would continue to chase after them, but against those people, Su Bing''s power of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower was enough to deal with.

    Chapter 320 - Speed (2)

    Seeing that Su Bing was about to reach the top of the mountain but Ye Hua didn''t have a choice, the Xia Xuan in front of him had already tightly blocked his path. He could only hope that the other disciples in the mansion could enter the top ten.

    Dong! Suddenly, a melodious ringing sound came out, the sound was wrapped up by the spiritual energy and spread very far, the entire Wanyuan Ridge could hear it. Everyone knew what this sound meant, it was that the first round of the Myriad Academy Competition to rush to the peak of the mountain had already ended, and the top ten rankers had already been born.

    "Hee." Xia Xuan giggled, the second after that no longer stopped Ye Hua, he turned and rushed towards the summit, the top ten were already born, there was no longer any need for them to compete anymore, Xia Xuan believed that the first one to reach the summit would definitely be Su Bing, he believed that Su Bing would not disappoint him.

    Soon, everyone had arrived at the summit of the Thousand Court Mountain. When the first disciples of the various Divine General palaces found their own disciples, some of them had expressions of joy on their faces, while others had expressions of hatred and disappointment. Of course, the number of joyous disciples was quite small.

    "Haha, you didn''t disappoint me after all." Xia Xuan patted Su Bing''s shoulder, his face full of joy, their God-Slaying Manor''s rank was indeed first.

    "Not at all, it''s all thanks to you holding those experts back. Otherwise, how could I have done it all by myself?" Su Bing also laughed, but right after he finished speaking his face turned serious, he glanced to the side and said, "There is someone who needs to be careful, that Black Man over there, I do not know where he came from, and he obtained second place, and he followed behind me, slower than me, but I feel that he has the strength to get first place."

    When they heard Su Bing''s words, Xia Xuan and the others immediately looked towards him, only to see a Black Man standing quietly amongst the crowd in the distance. The people around that Black Man did not seem to recognize him, he was just like a crane in a flock of chickens, so conspicuous that he was always ignored.

    He tilted his head slightly and looked towards Xia Xuan and the others. Because of Black Man''s large hat, Xia Xuan and the others were unable to see his appearance clearly. However, they were certain that Black Man was looking at Xia Xuan.

    And it was that feeling again, as if someone was secretly spying on him. Xia Xuan finally understood who was spying on him earlier, this Black Man was definitely not simple.

    After looking at Xia Xuan, Black Man turned around and quickly disappeared within the crowd. This time, no matter how hard Xia Xuan searched, he could not find his figure, and this Black Man seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

    "This person is not simple." Xia Xuan muttered a reminder to his comrades.

    After waiting for not too long, a powerful aura descended from the sky. When everyone looked over, they saw a large cloud slowly descending. Above the cloud stood the various elders of the Divine General''s Estate.

    "Brilliant. This year''s Myriad Academy Competition is indeed filled with talented people. I am very happy to watch it." Above the clouds, the both of them applauded.

    "The top ten of this competition are: God-Slaying Manor, The Dazzling Residence, The Divine King''s Mansion, Primal Chaos Manor, winery, Time Mansion, Sunset Mansion, Time Space Manor, Blue Sea Manor, and Demon God''s Manor." The names that were called out were mostly the powerful Great God Generals of the peak level.

    Hearing the three words "The Dazzling Residence", Xia Xuan couldn''t help but frown. He didn''t know that there was a Divine General called Dazzling, and thought that this was a newly risen Divine General, but the Divine General''s estate created by this kind of newly risen Divine General could obtain second place in the Great Academy Competition. This The Dazzling Residence didn''t seem to be simple at all.

    "Did this The Dazzling Residence participate in the war a few days ago?" Xia Xuan asked as he looked at Wu Zhi.

    "Not really. This is actually the first time I''ve heard of The Dazzling Residence''s residence." Wu Zhi shook his head and replied with certainty. In the war a few days ago, he had already counted out which Divine General''s estate had joined the side of the God-Slaying Manor. He had also investigated which Divine General''s estate had followed the The Divine King''s Mansion, but he had still not heard of the Divine General''s estate.

    With Wu Zhi''s definite reply, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but touch his chin. The more mysterious things that were hidden, the more interesting they would be. Regarding these things that were deliberately hidden, Xia Xuan was very interested in exploring them.

    After pondering for a moment, Xia Xuan''s gaze turned towards a group of black clothed people. Those people''s clothes were imprinted with many demonic beasts, and many fierce demonic beasts'' faces caused people to feel a chill in their hearts, it was the clothes of the Demon God''s Manor.

    Looking at the Demon God''s Manor, that face appeared in Xia Xuan''s mind. Until now, Xia Xuan still had not found the demon god''s reincarnation, and he did not know where the demon god was currently. He was inevitably a little worried.

    Just as Xia Xuan was looking at the disciples of Demon God''s Manor, many figures walked into his field of vision. The person leading them was none other than Ye Hua.

    Currently, Ye Hua''s right hand had not been picked up yet, and was completely empty as his sleeve hung over his body. Ye Hua looked at Xia Xuan with a strange light in his eyes, as if he had some sort of scheme.

    "It''s getting late, so let''s start the final match early as well." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a huge spiritual energy lifted up the five pieces of ground below the mountain. Each piece of land occupied an area of a few thousand square meters.

    After creating the arena, with a wave of his hand, the spiritual energy condensed into a box and landed on the ground.

    "The top ten manors are sending people to draw lots. Everyone''s opponent is random." The man in black said again.

 C321

    Chapter 321 - Embarrassed opponents (1)

    Xia Xuan and his teammates looked at each other, then stepped forward with tacit understanding. As the first person to receive a name, God-Slaying Manor was naturally the first to draw.

    He reached his hand into the box, and after fiddling with it for a while, he pulled it out. In his hand, there was a ball of paper, which Xia Xuan held in his hand.

    The groups were divided into ten different colored pieces of paper. There were a total of five different colored pieces of paper.

    According to the order in which they had all merged together, each Divine General''s Estate would draw out a slip of paper. After each disciple in their respective residences had finished looking at the paper, their gazes all turned to the other Divine General''s Estate, wanting to know which Divine General''s Estate their opponents were.

    Xia Xuan''s gaze also swept one round around him, and finally stopped on a piece of black paper. ''s eyes turned towards the man holding the piece of paper. Xia Xuan''s brow could not help but frown, the man holding the piece of paper and dressed in black was a disciple of the Demon God''s Manor.

    Towards this opponent, Xia Xuan felt very helpless. If it was any other opponent, it would be fine, but the Demon God''s Manor was different. The Demon God''s Manor was a mansion created by the demon god, so as the Deicide, he naturally could not be too fierce.

    "There''s nothing we can do." Xia Xuan sighed and leaped up onto the stage.

    When the man from the Demon God''s Manor saw this, he also leaped up and appeared in front of Xia Xuan. The clothes that the disciple wore were different from the other disciples'' clothes. There were golden lines at the edge of the disciple''s clothes. It was the clothes that only the eldest disciple could wear.

    "Senior disciple of Demon God''s Manor Tao Yan, please advise." The head disciple of the Demon God''s Manor cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan. This disciple called Tao Yan knew about the relationship between God-Slaying Manor and himself, so this battle could only be said to be a friendly match.

    "Disciple of God-Slaying Manor Xia Xuan, please advise." Xia Xuan cupped his hands and said.

    After a simple bow, Tao Yan no longer spoke anymore and his body immediately trembled. His aura completely exploded forth and the aura was so strong that it had actually reached the seventh stage of Mysterious Sect. As the residence of the demon god, even though he was already reincarnated, there was still a gigantic Demon World standing behind him. Demon God''s Manor''s support could be said to be no weaker than the Time Mansion''s.

    Xia Xuan also released his Qi. Right now, Xia Xuan''s Qi was only at the sixth stage of the Xuanhuang, so there was a huge difference in the difference in their auras. The difference between their Xuanhuang and that was not just a little bit.

    Of course, no one would underestimate Xia Xuan just because of his low cultivation. Whether it was the disciples of the Divine General''s Estate or the elders of the Palace, all of them had witnessed Xia Xuan''s strength, and none of them were his match, let alone this insignificant seventh stage Mysterious Sect.

    "Drink." Tao Yan shouted as he activated his gigantic spiritual energy s and rushed towards Xia Xuan. Against an opponent of Xia Xuan''s level, Tao Yan did not think he could win at all.

    Xia Xuan admitted that his spiritual energy s'' degree of agglomeration was definitely not weaker than normal Mysterious Sect, but it was still not comparable to a genuine seventh stage Mysterious Sect.

    Even so, Xia Xuan still chose to face Tao Yan head on. The spiritual energy wrapped her fist and directly rushed towards Tao Yan''s fist.

    In the end, the two of them clashed, without any techniques, it was purely a barbaric collision, but it was this kind of clash that successfully injured Xia Xuan.

    "Puchi." Xia Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face becoming pale, it was hard to imagine what kind of attitude a Deicide would have.

    Tao Yan stood in place for a long time after coming into contact with the monster. Even though Xia Xuan''s injuries had already been revealed, he still stood there motionlessly.

    "No need to force yourself. Everyone knows my strength. I won''t embarrass myself." Xia Xuan said as he looked at the motionless Tao Yan.

    Xia Xuan''s words were like the final straw that broke the yak''s back. As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained some pieces of his internal organs, one could tell how much damage he had received. Such a heavy injury had also crushed Tao Yan, causing him to immediately kneel on the ground.

    With just a glance, one could tell who would win or lose. Xia Xuan was still standing, but he was no longer able to stand.

    Victory and defeat had indeed been decided, but this time Xia Xuan had slapped Demon God''s Manor''s face. The dignified eldest disciple of the Demon God''s Manor was actually defeated by an ordinary disciple of the God-Slaying Manor;

 C322

    Chapter 322 - Embarrassed opponents (2)

    A few disciples of the Demon God''s Manor flew up onto the stage and supported Tao Yan up. Tao Yan, who was being supported up by them, struggled to open his binocular as he looked at Xia Xuan. With that, Tao Yan fainted.

    "The first match between God-Slaying Manor and myself will be won by God-Slaying Manor. Do you want to continue fighting?" GongRong said in a loud voice. The final ten matches of the Grand Competition were a type of revolving battle. It would be considered over if both sides didn''t send any disciples, but there was another way to quickly end the battle, and that was to directly admit defeat.

    This was the time to compete in terms of the overall strength of each residence. A powerful manor could send out enough disciples, but a Divine General''s estate like the God-Slaying Manor could only send out seven people. They simply could not afford to lose a large number of disciples.

    This was also the reason why the God-Slaying Manor had to become the first Divine General''s estate to ascend to the peak. The first Divine General''s estate to ascend the peak had a break, which was very important to the God-Slaying Manor.

    "We choose to give up." However, Demon God''s Manor actually said something that was out of the ordinary, but these words did not sound strange to the people, because the relationship between Demon God''s Manor and God-Slaying Manor could be said to be known by everyone.

    "Since that''s the case, God-Slaying Manor will emerge victorious against Demon God''s Manor." GongRong nodded and said in a loud voice.

    After the battle ended, Xia Xuan immediately jumped down the stage, but right at that moment, a melding voice sounded again: "The Dazzling Residence against Sunset Mansion, The Dazzling Residence wins."

    The Sunset Mansion was also one of the top existences in the Divine General''s Estate. Just the number of people they sent out was definitely not little, and that The Dazzling Residence only had a black-clothed man. How did the Sunset Mansion lose so quickly?

    "What just happened?" Xia Xuan asked the stunned Wang Hao and the rest who were at the side. Previously, when he was fighting Tao Yang, he did not notice what was happening.

    No, he has the strength to say those words, and he allowed the people of Sunset Mansion to come together, which is truly infuriating for Sunset Mansion, but when they all leaped onto the stage, that person actually defeated all the disciples of Sunset Mansion in one move. Wu Zhi explained, but there was still a look of unconcealable shock on his face.

    "This The Dazzling Residence is really interesting." Xia Xuan rubbed his chin, the look in his eyes became extremely stern, even as a Deicide, he could not see through The Dazzling Residence.

    The disciple from The Dazzling Residence seemed to have noticed Xia Xuan''s gaze and turned her head over slightly. Under the wide hat, her snow-white chin was exposed and a trace of a smile could be vaguely seen on her face.

    Following that, the other comparisons of the Divine General''s Estate also came to an end.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion wins against Blue Ocean Palace''s The Divine King''s Mansion."

    "winery against Primal Chaos Manor, winery wins."

    "Time Mansion against Temporal Palace, Time Mansion wins."

    All of the Divine General Palaces had completed their battles. The Divine General''s estate that won, without exception, was the extremely powerful Divine General''s Estate. Of course, the God-Slaying Manor and the The Dazzling Residence were exceptions.

    "Congratulations to the Five Great God''s General Residence for being promoted. I also hope that the other five residences will not be discouraged and strive for a better result in the next Great Academy Competition. Next, let the Divine General''s Estate advance to draw out some scraps of paper." Once she finished speaking, she waved her large hand and a box once again appeared on the ground.

    Xia Xuan and the others did not draw this time, neither did Wang Hao and the others. As the first person to reach the top of the mountain, the Divine General''s Estate could rest for a round after finishing the first battle. This round was extremely important to the God-Slaying Manor, but it was just that they had coincidentally met the Demon God''s Manor in the first round.

    The Dazzling Residence, The Divine King''s Mansion, winery, and Time Mansion were drawing lots for each of the four Great God s. Xia Xuan would seize this opportunity to carefully observe and figure out the background of this The Dazzling Residence.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion against winery, The Dazzling Residence against Time Mansion." The result of the match was announced in a loud voice.

    As soon as he finished speaking, the disciple from The Dazzling Residence seemed to tilt his head to look at Xia Xuan, and then leaped up onto the stage. When the disciples of Time Mansion saw this, one of them also jumped up onto the stage.

    "Does your Time Mansion even think that you are much more powerful than him? "Let''s attack together." The black robe disciples arrogantly spoke again, but this time, no one would think that he was spouting nonsense. Since the Sunset Mansion was stronger than all of the Time Mansion disciples, even if he could defeat all of them in one move, it was still possible for him to defeat all of the disciples of the Time Mansion in one move.

    He looked at the leading clan elder of the Time Mansion and nodded her head slightly. Then, all the disciples jumped onto the stage.

    "Xia Xuan, the reincarnation of the Deicide right? I am very interested in fighting you. I hope you won''t disappoint me." Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded out in Xia Xuan''s mind.

    Xia Xuan frowned. was becoming more and more interested in this The Dazzling Residence.

    "If you don''t think I''m qualified to stand with you, then I''m qualified to stand with you." The hoarse voice rang out again, and the world began to change color.

    On the martial stage, the black-clothed disciple raised his hand high in the air, as if all the energy in the world was being controlled by him.

    Under the nervous gazes of many people, the hand that was lifted up violently fell, and all the Time Mansion disciples were blasted flying by a powerful force.

    Just like the Sunset Mansion, everyone was blown out of the competition with a single move from the black-clothed disciple. Compared to the Sunset Mansion, however, the attack this time seemed to be a lot gentler, as if they were giving Xia Xuan some face.

    When Xia Xuan saw binocular''s wide open eyes, he actually did not see what skill the black-clothed disciple had used.

 C323

    Chapter 323 - Grotesque (1)

    On the stage, the black clothed disciple slowly withdrew his aura and tilted his head to look at Xia Xuan, revealing a hint of smile. A sound transmission then sounded in Xia Xuan''s mind: "Don''t say that I''m not giving you face, but seeing that the Time God is your younger sister, these people aren''t even severely injured, right?"

    Xia Xuan frowned even more. The enemy in front of him was the only one he couldn''t see through other than Celestial King, and this enemy had pointed the spear at him. With Deicide''s personality, how could he not be vigilant?

    His gaze turned towards the The Divine King''s Mansion''s fighting arena. The one on the The Divine King''s Mansion''s side was Ye Hua, while the one on the stage was the eldest disciple who was dressed in golden silk robes.

    Looking at the battle between these two, Xia Xuan suddenly felt no longer interested. The creator of the winery was none other than the Liquor God, and it was unknown whether it was because of her temperament, but all the disciples of the winery had a leisurely look. Now that they knew they could not defeat the The Divine King''s Mansion, after a simple battle, they would definitely admit defeat.

    Sure enough, after Xia Xuan slightly adjusted his body for a while, Ye Hua threw the head disciple of the winery off the fighting stage, and he admitted defeat.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion wins." As this voice rang out, the curtain once again fell on the second round of the competition. Next, they would have to compare their luck.

    "Please draw lots for the rest of the three Great God s." GongRong shouted again. He waved his hand and a box once again appeared on the ground. God-Slaying Manor and The Dazzling Residence each took out a piece of paper.

    He opened his palm, and what was in Xia Xuan''s hand was a piece of white paper. His gaze turned towards the direction of the The Divine King''s Mansion and the The Dazzling Residence, and discovered a black paper quietly lying in the hands of Ye Hua and the black-clothed disciple.

    Seeing this result, Xia Xuan couldn''t help but reveal a smile on his face. His luck was still quite good, and next, he would be able to watch the battle between Ye Hua and the black-clothed disciple. He believed that with Ye Hua''s strength, he would definitely be able to force out some of the black clothed disciple''s moves, and Xia Xuan could also take this opportunity to observe.

    Ye Hua and the black clothed disciple both jumped up to the stage at the same time. This stage already had five fighting stages, and the unusually large stage was enough for two people to fight.

    "Boy, I have to say you are very strong. I might not be able to defeat you, but I am definitely not as simple as you think I am." Ye Hua said as he stood in front of the black clothed disciple.

    "I''m not saying that you''re simple. You still have no chance of winning even if you fight me." The black clothed disciple also said.

    "Victory or defeat will still be decided in two ways." Ye Hua gave a loud shout as the enormous spiritual energy exploded. The strength of the Grade Nine Mysterious Sect was absolutely not something that the senior disciples of the Divine General''s Estate could compare to.

    However, the black clothed disciple didn''t even have the slightest intention to seriously deal with Ye Hua. He only took a step back with his right leg and clenched his right hand into a fist, intending to clash with Ye Hua head on.

    Ye Hua naturally knew just how strong the black-robed disciple was. Defeating all the disciples of the Sunset Mansion in one move was a strength that not even he possessed, so he chose to avoid it this time.

    Before waiting for the black clothed disciple''s fist to strike out, Ye Hua''s figure disappeared in a flash, and in the next moment, he appeared behind the black clothed disciple. In Ye Hua''s eyes, this kind of attack without any skill was simply full of flaws.

    With Ye Hua''s position, he could coincidentally see half of the black-clothed disciple''s chin that was revealed under the large hat. Just as Ye Hua was about to give the black-clothed disciple a heavy blow, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the black-clothed disciple''s mouth seem to be slightly raised.

    Ye Hua was greatly shocked. At this time, the black-clothed disciple was actually smiling, and reckoned that the black-clothed disciple must have succeeded in his plans. It was just that Ye Hua was not able to guess what the black-clothed disciple was actually planning in his heart.

    Just as Ye Hua was shocked in his heart, the black-clothed disciple''s body slightly bent, and his tightly clenched fist fiercely swung towards the ground. When that fist smashed into the ground, an enormous shockwave immediately spread out in all directions, and even Ye Hua, who was behind the black-clothed disciple, was unable to avoid the shock wave.

    Only after personally experiencing it would one know just how powerful it was. When the shaking power struck Ye Hua''s body, the shaking power penetrated into his body, and then, the feeling that his internal organs were about to be torn apart surged forth.

 C324

    Chapter 324 - Grotesque (2)

    Ye Hua''s entire person was sent flying by the shockwave, but luckily the stage was wide enough, even though he had taken the attack without any preparation, Ye Hua was still not thrown out of the stage, but this time, his attacks were truly terrifying.

    After stabilizing his body, Ye Hua forcefully stabilized the surging blood within his body and anxiously turned his gaze towards the black clothed man. However, he discovered that the black clothed man had already disappeared.

    Ye Hua was indeed worthy of being the head disciple of the The Divine King''s Mansion. Out of the corner of his eye, he did not see the black-clothed man''s figure, so Ye Hua immediately knew that the black-clothed man was definitely behind him. He immediately turned his head, intending to block the attack that could come at any time.

    However, just as Ye Hua turned his head, the man in black had already viciously kicked Ye Hua in the stomach. With a loud * Bang * sound, Ye Hua''s entire body flew backwards, and immediately, a huge pit was smashed out, which was filled with dust.

    "Trust me, you have no chance of winning." The black-clothed disciple stood where Ye Hua stood before and spoke with a voice that did not contain the slightest bit of emotion.

    On the top of the mountain, when Xia Xuan saw this scene, he could not help but crease his eyebrows. If Ye Hua lost just like that, then he would not be able to see anything.

    Everyone thought that Ye Hua would definitely lose, but at this moment, a hint of happiness surged onto his face.

    "The victor is still too early." Suddenly, Ye Hua''s voice came out. When the dust settled, he saw that Ye Hua was standing, the gold energy surrounding his body was the power of the Celestial King, but it was stronger than the one from a few days ago.

    Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan could not help but raise his head, looking up at the sky. In the distant sky, there seemed to be a face, and it was the face of a Celestial King. Ye Hua''s power had increased by so much in a few days, there must be a reason.

    "Celestial King, I''m afraid your disciple won''t be able to win against others." Xia Xuan muttered to himself, then his gaze once again turned to the battlefield where Ye Hua and the black-clothed disciple were.

    Before the chaos of the rebellion of the gods had subsided, Celestial King and the evil god were standing on top of a cloud, looking down at the Human Realm. Their gazes pierced through space and directly landed on the Wanyuan Ridge in another space.

    "Your Highness Celestial King, this Ye Hua is too useless, to actually use all of the Celestial King''s power that you bestowed upon a normal disciple, he revealed his trump card so early, do you want to promote someone else to be the main disciple?" evil god also saw everything in Wanyuan Ridge, and could not help but say.

    "We can''t blame him. We can only say that Dazzling Spring is too shameless. I''ll have to set another rule for the next Great Academy Competition." Celestial King waved his hand and said.

    evil god''s eyes rolled around as he seemed to have thought of something. He then said: "Then, this Deicide, shouldn''t we deal with it?"

    "The execution of the Deicide has already ended. He is not guilty, and I have also made a rule that unless it is a great battle to the death, the gods are not allowed to participate in matters between the Divine General''s Estate." The Celestial King answered once again.

    "But," Just as evil god wanted to say something, he turned his head and looked at the Celestial King. Immediately, snowflakes began to form in the air around him and the cold aura caused even the evil god to shiver.

    "I don''t care about the grudge between you and Deicide, but don''t use me as a spear. Otherwise, I will make your death miserable." The Celestial King said in an ice-cold voice, and directly walked over after he finished speaking.

    "Creak." evil god gritted his teeth as they creaked. He had already blamed everything he had suffered on Xia Xuan, and he simply couldn''t wait to kill Xia Xuan.

    After a long while, the expression on evil god''s face suddenly recovered, he was truly stupid, the words that Celestial King had said previously had some meaning, and since the Celestial King did not care, then as long as Xia Xuan left the east side of Human Realm, he could personally kill Xia Xuan.

    "Deicide, just you wait. This life of yours will be your last." evil god laughed sinisterly, that laughter was filled with Evil Qi, all the surrounding plants withering after being touched by the Evil Qi, the evil scene caused everyone to feel terrified.

    In the Wanyuan Ridge, the power of the Celestial King that Ye Hua had displayed shocked everyone. Even a Profound Emperor expert would probably be able to defeat such an abnormally strong power.

    Even though many people could guess why Ye Hua possessed such a powerful Celestial King, no one dared to say anything. After all, no one in the Celestial King dared to offend him.

    "I won''t lose that easily." Ye Hua felt the endless Celestial King''s power gushing out from his body, and laughed proudly. In his opinion, since he could even use this trump card, then he would be invincible in the Myriad Academy Competition.

    "Sigh, you''re still too naive." The black-clothed disciple let out a light sigh, then raised his arm high up into the air. A terrifying spiritual energy surged out from his body, and that spiritual energy was so huge that it was not weak in the slightest when compared to Profound Emperor experts.

    "Let''s end this early. This battle is too boring." The black clothed disciple said coldly, his arm seemingly following the command, as the gigantic spiritual energy also smashed onto the stage.

    The gigantic spiritual energy smashed onto the stage, but after a long time without any movement, it made everyone feel suspicious.

    "What are you doing?" Ye Hua asked suspiciously, he was already prepared to endure the attack, but the black clothed disciple had already attacked the stage, as though he was always attacking the stage, he did not know what deep grievances he had with the stage.

    "Crack!" The black-clothed disciple stood up and a cracking sound rang out. A crack appeared on the ground.

    Seeing the crack, Ye Hua could not help but feel a sense of unease.

    "Kacha!" A series of kacha sounds rang out. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the entire martial stage caved in, leaving only a small piece of the ground beneath the black-clothed man''s feet.

    Losing the stage meant that Ye Hua had been knocked out of the range of the stage, and the outcome of the battle was known.

 C325

    Chapter 325 - Great Games Decisive Battle (1)

    Everyone was incomparably shocked. This stage was created by a combination, and its toughness was something that even Profound Emperor experts found difficult to break. The scene before them right now was enough to prove just how strong the black clothed disciple''s technique was.

    "It''s not simple at all. This is not an ordinary crack. He even controlled the direction of the crack. If this degree of control were to be placed on you back then, would you be able to accomplish it?" Wu Zhi explained from the side.

    "No. This person is a genius. His potential is greater than mine." Xia Xuan decisively shook his head. There was a talent in the martial arts world, and the black clothed disciple in front of him was a talent from this era.

    "I am starting to get interested in this The Dazzling Residence." Xia Xuan muttered in his heart. He still remembered the words that the black-clothed disciple had said before, that this The Dazzling Residence might become a great help for his revenge.

    "Sir Envoy, shouldn''t we announce the results of the competition?" The black-robed disciples said in unison.

    "The first match between The Divine King''s Mansion and myself will be won by The Dazzling Residence. Do you want to continue fighting?" In the end, he came back to his senses and shouted.

    "No need, we give up." The The Divine King''s Mansion leader said dejectedly.

    "The Divine King''s Mansion wins." "Retreat!" Gongzi Rong yelled again. With that said, the competition would begin the finals, and the next battle would be between God-Slaying Manor and Su Yun.

    "Since that''s the case, I won''t be resting any longer. Please start the battle as soon as possible." The disciple dressed in black said as his gaze turned towards Xia Xuan. Even though he couldn''t see the look in his eyes, he could guess that it was a pair of expecting binocular.

    "Our God-Slaying Manor will only send me alone to determine the outcome of this battle." Xia Xuan also stood up. After such a long period of rest, his injuries from the battle with Tao Yan had more or less recovered. Now, he felt that he had the ability to fight with the black-robed disciple.

    When Wang Hao and the others heard what Xia Xuan said, they wanted to say something, but Xia Xuan waved his hand. After understanding what Xia Xuan meant by that gesture, they swallowed whatever he was about to say.

    He waved his hand and created another stage, the stage this time was much larger than before, and the spiritual energy used to maintain the stage was also much stronger, without Profound Master, it was impossible to break it, so the scene of the stage being broken would probably never happen again.

    After the stage was built, Xia Xuan jumped up and stood on the stage, facing the black clothed disciple. The brow couldn''t help but frown, the current black clothed disciple did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations, and it was difficult to imagine that the powerful attack was launched by him.

    "How is it? Do you want to consider it? " The black-clothed disciple asked Xia Xuan with the corners of his mouth raised in a smile.

    "Let''s compete first." Xia Xuan gave a loud shout and then rushed towards the black clothed disciple. Although the aura was very strong, it did not scare the black clothed disciple in the slightest.

    The black clothed disciple''s hand clenched into a fist, and rushed towards Xia Xuan, but Xia Xuan was not afraid in the slightest, and directly clashed with him.

    "Bang!" A huge collision sound rang. What was most surprising was that Xia Xuan wasn''t sent flying in one move, but was stunned in place when the two collided.

    Under numerous astonished gazes, Xia Xuan and the black clothed disciple raised their other hands at the same time, and actually struck towards Fatty at the same time once again.

    The following scene was completely crazy. Their fists were clashing crazily, the speed of each punch was equal to Xia Xuan''s. Thinking back on the terrifying power of the black-clothed disciple''s attack, now that the two of them had clashed so fiercely, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

    "Why didn''t you go all out? Are you looking down on me?" Xia Xuan madly clashed with the black-clothed disciple, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

    "There''s no need for that. The current you doesn''t have the strength to make me use such a powerful skill." However, the black-clothed disciple sneered. Hearing these words, Xia Xuan was instantly angered. The spiritual energy immediately gathered onto his fist and fiercely swung out its fist, directly hitting the black clothed man until he retreated a few steps.

    The surrounding people naturally could not guess that the black-robed disciple had not used his full strength. In their opinion, Xia Xuan''s strength was extremely terrifying.

    "That''s right. It''s just that you can''t have such powerful attacks every time." After the black-clothed disciple stood still, he smiled coldly at Xia Xuan.
