Section 104

Xia Haiwei took a deep breath. He had used his full strength in the previous attack. Although Summer AzureSun looked disheveled, he had not yet taken the initiative to attack.

The two people in the sky continuously tangled, then separated, and then tangled together again.

The building material of the Emperor Dragon Platform was red rock diamond, said to be difficult for a Martial Emperor to break.

This material was extremely rare; the entire Great Xia Empire only had a hundred thousand tons in storage.

Under the clash of the two, the Emperor Dragon Platform gradually became dilapidated, with countless fragments flying up, causing the other previous Xia Emperors below the stage to feel great distress.

But they did not dare to rashly stop the great battle between the two, only hoping they could quickly determine the victor.

"Azure Nether Cloud Splitting Slash!"

Summer AzureSun's angry roar echoed in the sky. The long sword in his hand immediately flew towards the sky. Azure-green sword energy continuously revolved around the sword body, emitting a chilling cold light!

Xia Haiwei's expression changed slightly. He raised the giant axe in his hand high up and roared, unwilling to show weakness.

"Frenzied Spirit Axe, Dragon Flame Breaking Void!"

The two great ultimate techniques erupted. Azure-green and massive fiery red exploded in the air. The color of the sky was dyed, possessing a strange and beautiful appearance at this moment.

Both of their attacks contained extremely sharp edges. The faces of the crowd below the stage were filled with solemnity and shock. The last three previous Xia Emperors simply could not imagine that Summer AzureSun and Xia Haiwei's strength was actually so terrifying.

If any of them were on the stage, just the aftershock generated by these Moves would cause them to continuously vomit blood. If they were directly hit, they would likely be not far from death.

Neither of them held back in the slightest. For the Divine Artifact Void Cauldron, and to break through to the Martial God Realm, they had put in their full effort.

The crowd looked up at the smoke and dust in the sky, watching intently, unsure who would become the victor in this terrifying battle.

Azure-green and fiery red, the two great lights reflected in the sky, were locked in a stalemate. They looked as if they were quiet and peaceful, but in reality, both wanted to frantically devour the other.

Xia Haiwei's expression was slightly worse than Summer AzureSun's. The hand holding the giant axe was faintly trembling. Summer AzureSun's divine body condensation level seemed to have exceeded his imagination. Judging from the power that just erupted, it should have exceeded fifty percent!

"I didn't expect you could still break through during the battle!" He gritted his teeth, looking at Summer AzureSun in disbelief.

Summer AzureSun's face was also a little pale, but in the previous clash, with his extremely strong talent, he unexpectedly increased the condensation of his divine body to fifty-one percent, faintly possessing the Aura of transcending the mundane and entering the sacred.

Gradually, the azure-green light began to invade the fiery red. Summer AzureSun's hands suddenly formed seals and he roared, "Break!"

With an order, the vast energy fluctuation in the air directly exploded before everyone's eyes!

The azure-green firmly suppressed the fiery red. Although the Eighth Xia Emperor was helpless and unwilling, his divine body was ultimately slightly weaker than his opponent's.

The condensation level of the divine body exceeding fifty percent was a watershed. Many people could not cross this hurdle throughout their entire lives.

Fifty percent and ninety percent were the two biggest obstacles in divine body condensation.

Each Breakthrough would bring unparalleled powerful strength, and the divinity would also become more solid.

After breaking through fifty percent, there would be no major obstacles until ninety percent.

And breaking through ninety percent would almost certainly allow one to break through to at least Half God.

"He broke through fifty percent. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Old Ancestor's strength has reached this level."

Summer Bright shook his head slightly, saying with considerable emotion.

The Eighth Xia Emperor roared, continuously increasing his spiritual energy output, frantically hacking with the giant axe.

He dared not delay any longer. He had to use his full strength to end the battle in the shortest possible time.

To win, this was the only way.

Facing the rapidly increasing momentum of Xia Haiwei, Summer AzureSun was not flustered. Instead, he remained calm and collected, smoothly receiving every Move he made.

After half an incense stick's time, Xia Haiwei, who had been unable to defeat Summer AzureSun, could only sigh helplessly, slowly land on the ground, and walk out of the Emperor Dragon Platform.

"I concede."

The outcome of the battle was already decided. Having consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, he no longer had the means to defeat Summer AzureSun.

After all, they were all members of the Xia Family from the same lineage. He could not treat him like a true external enemy, wanting to blast him to death at all costs.

Summer AzureSun, whose divine body had broken through fifty percent, was already on a different level than him. Xia Haiwei knew well the terrifying nature of this second uncle of his, and continuing to fight would only result in the same outcome.

Although he painfully lost the Divine Artifact, if anyone present was most likely to break through to the Martial God Realm, it was only Summer AzureSun.

Instead of falling out with him, it was better to proactively give up the Void Cauldron. This way, he might still have a chance to receive personal guidance from the future Martial God.

The final victor chosen from the Ten Great Xia Emperors appeared. It was the oldest and most senior Seventh Xia Emperor, Summer AzureSun.

Summer AzureSun landed on the ground, his expression excited, looking extremely eagerly at the Void Cauldron beside Summer Bright.

"Summer Bright, this competition is over, and the strongest has been chosen. According to your and Xia Feng's promise, it's time to obediently hand over the Void Cauldron, right?"

Summer AzureSun slightly narrowed his eyes, locking onto the Void Cauldron tightly, his gaze unable to Move away even slightly.

"Of course, we agreed before that the Void Cauldron must be controlled by the strongest existence among the Xia Emperors." Xia Feng nodded with a smile.

"Mhm, not bad."

Summer AzureSun stroked his goatee and nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations to the Seventh Old Ancestor on your victory, but..."

This 'but' of his immediately caused Summer AzureSun to turn back sharply, his expression unfriendly.

The rest of the Xia Emperors also looked at Xia Feng, and the atmosphere suddenly froze to the freezing point.

They couldn't believe that Xia Feng would go back on his word at this time. They knew that any person here could easily blast him to death. What capital did he have to renege?

"Has the Seventh Old Ancestor forgotten, there is still one Xia Emperor standing here?"

Xia Feng gently raised his head, revealing a sunny smile, and then pointed at Summer Bright.

Chapter 129: Summer Bright is Actually a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor?

"There is still one Xia Emperor, you mean Summer Bright?"

Summer AzureSun looked as if he had misheard. He looked at Summer Bright, then at Xia Feng, and then sneered.

"Are you crazy or am I crazy? He is merely an Earth Rank Martial Emperor. Do you mean Summer Bright is stronger than me?"

"Whether he is strong or not, one will only know after fighting."

Summer Bright stepped forward expressionlessly. As he took a step, the air immediately fell silent.

The next second, a burst of uproarious laughter erupted.

The Ten Great Xia Emperors couldn't help but sneer. Even Summer Skyfate, who was preparing to challenge for the imperial throne again afterward, couldn't hold his belly and laughing, almost falling to the ground.

"Summer Bright, you want to fight me? Don't joke with this old man. You should quickly bring the Void Cauldron here."

Summer AzureSun waved his hand with a light chuckle. In his opinion, Summer Bright and Xia Feng were just fooling around, and it would pass after a few words.

"Old Ancestor, I am serious."

But what no one expected was that Summer Bright not only did not take out the Void Cauldron but instead took another step forward, looking at Summer AzureSun with a resolute expression.

"This competition was held to select the strongest Martial Emperor among the previous Xia Emperors of the Great Xia Empire. The ten of you have already competed, but I, this newly promoted Xia Emperor, have not yet made a Move."

"Alright, Summer Bright, you should obediently step down. Don't cause trouble in front of your Old Ancestor!"

"Exactly, don't think that just because you're acting shamelessly like a child, the Old Ancestor will spoil you. This is a major matter concerning a Divine Artifact; there's no room for familial affection!"

"Merely an Earth Rank Martial Emperor. I can defeat you with a flip of my hand. What capital do you have to challenge the Old Ancestor?"

The other great Xia Emperors all spoke sarcastically towards Summer Bright. Their eyes were contemptuous; they clearly did not take him seriously.

"Summer Bright, I think you're truly delusional! This Divine Artifact inherently belongs to the capable. The Seventh Old Ancestor has already agreed to your competition request and successfully won. What is your intention in acting so basely at this moment? Do you really think the Old Ancestor wouldn't dare to make a Move and kill the two of you?!"

Summer Bright stepped forward, looked at Summer Bright and Xia Feng, and angrily cursed.

As soon as he spoke, the other great Xia Emperors also nodded in agreement.

But seeing Summer Bright still standing firm in front, with no intention of retreating to take the cauldron, the faces of the previous Xia Emperors all changed.

They became like the Nine Nether cold ice, causing alarm and fear.

"Summer Bright, stop fooling around here. I'll give you one last chance. Don't make me come and take it myself."

Summer AzureSun's eyes were extremely cold. There was already a hint of killing intent in his gaze towards Summer Bright.

What noble identities the Ten Great Xia Emperors possessed! Although Summer Bright and Xia Feng, this grandfather and grandson pair, also had the surname Xia, if they were to make a fool of them in front of everyone, he wouldn't mind personally cleaning house!

"Old Ancestor, I said, the competition is not over yet. Who is the strongest Xia Emperor is still unknown!"

Suddenly, Summer Bright moved fiercely. He erupted all the spiritual energy in his body, and a full fifty Great Dao rules were projected in the sky!

Purple-gold brilliant light sprinkled down from the sky, and majestic momentum gathered around. Summer Bright was illuminated by this Void Great Dao like a golden figure, every Move carrying an extraordinary Aura!

"Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor!" The Eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, was stunned.

"What? Wasn't he an Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor before? How did he suddenly become Heaven Rank Ninth Level? Could it be that he had been hiding his strength all this time?!" The Ninth Xia Emperor also said in disbelief.

Not just him, but the faces of the Ten Great Xia Emperors, including the officials below the stage, all changed.

Not a single person could have imagined that Summer Skyfate's true strength had actually always been Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor!

So, was that battle between him and Summer Skyfate staged?

"No! No! No! How could he be a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor? This is all a trick! Old Ancestor, you can't be fooled by him! This is his conspiracy and scheme, all to keep the Void Cauldron!"

After feeling this Aura, Summer Bright instantly collapsed. He didn't believe it, nor could he accept it.

How could Summer Bright be a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor?
