Section 120

The Ten Girls had experienced the dream world. Their initial surprise at Xia Feng's cultivation method turned into a matter of course later on.

This should be their man; the path he walks must be unique and singular.

Ten nights passed quickly. Calculating the days, it was a full hundred thousand years.

The Ten Great Saintesses divided the days equally, meaning each person cultivated for fifty thousand years.

But their talents were extremely strong. Each of them possessed a natural Saint Body and peerless talent, which was more than ten times higher than the Purple Lightning Body and supreme talent Xia Feng condensed using the purple thunder fruit.

Therefore, in fifty thousand years, the Ten Great Saintesses all condensed an Emperor Body and became Half-Emperors.

They had never expected that within the five days of their marriage to Xia Feng, their strength would soar, directly reaching the level of their Holy Masters!

One must know that a Half-Emperor Realm expert, when the Great Xia Empire's top power didn't make a move, was the strongest in this region!

Even the Ten Supreme Holy Masters had only barely reached the Half-Emperor Realm.

Now, they were already capable of contending with the Ten Supreme Holy Masters.

As for Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian, although their talents were a bit weaker, luckily the time was long enough.

The two also comprehended nearly forty elemental rules, becoming Heaven Rank Fifth Level Martial Saints, their Aura flourishing.

It was just Summer Bright...

Before entering the dream, he was already a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor.

For him, the only hurdle he needed to cross was to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, condense a Divine Body, and become a Half God.

However, becoming a god was truly not something that could be achieved just by accumulating time.

To comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, one still relied heavily on serendipitous opportunities.

Perhaps it was comprehension gained between life and death, or perhaps receiving guidance from sparring personally with a Martial God, and so on.

However, sparring with a Martial God was unlikely.

Martial Gods were all in the God Domain; where would they have the time and effort to come to a small Empire and spar with a Heaven Rank Martial Emperor?

Unless his own lineage had a Martial God level expert overseeing it, then there would be a chance.

As for comprehension between life and death, thinking carefully, it also seemed unlikely.

Currently, Summer Bright was already a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor and possessed a Divine Artifact. As long as Martial Gods did not appear, he was basically invincible.

Even a Half God without a Divine Artifact would find it difficult to defeat Summer Bright, who possessed a Divine Artifact.

Therefore, to break through and survive the tribulation, he could only rely on Opportunity.

Chapter 148: The Emperor Child Personally Leads the Campaign!

Therefore, during these hundred thousand years, Summer Bright was still a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor. Aside from his spiritual energy becoming a bit denser, there were no substantial changes.

The same was true for Xia Feng. Supreme talent was simply not favored in the Martial Emperor Realm.

In a hundred thousand years, he had only broken through from Huang Rank Second Level Martial Emperor to Yellow Tier Ninth Level Martial Emperor.

Only by possessing ten different Great Dao rules could he barely contend with Profound Rank Martial Emperors.

This cultivation speed made him very dissatisfied, but unfortunately, his talent could only reach this level, and he was helpless.

It was also on this day.

It had been exactly twenty days since the Great Dragon General sent the four envoys, who had been made into human pigs, to the Empire's border.

During these twenty days, news was constantly being sent to the Imperial Dragon Hall.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Summer Bright constantly rubbed his temples, reading one battle report after another, becoming increasingly angry.

Just as the Nichao Empire's envoy had said, they actually had the ambition to annex the Great Xia Empire long ago.

Over the past month, the Nichao Empire had dispatched ten Martial Emperors, dividing their forces into ten routes of attack, causing the Great Xia Empire to retreat hundreds of kilometers and lose dozens of cities.

The pressure on the Empire was growing. Many people outside the Empire were watching. Summer Bright truly hadn't expected to encounter such a headache just days after taking this position.

Especially the most recent letter.

The war on the eastern front was extremely urgent, one could even say it had reached a desperate situation.

The Nichao Empire's Heavenly Martial Great General personally led a hundred thousand elite soldiers south to the east, defeating the thirty thousand troops led by Lingxiao Pavilion's Tenth Flying General Chen Boyu and capturing Ling City, a massive city in the eastern territory.

The Heavenly Martial Great General declared that if the Great Xia Empire did not hand over Xia Feng, he would flatten the Great Xia Empire's East Continent in the next three months. Countless citizens of the Great Xia Empire would be displaced because of Xia Feng, and their loved ones would be trampled into minced meat by the Nichao Empire's iron cavalry!

Such provocation had almost reached the Great Xia Empire's limit.

No ruler of any country could remain calm in the face of such provocation.

The fire in Summer Bright's heart grew larger and larger, and his anger also soared.

The Nichao Empire, many years ago he had already crossed swords with the Martial Emperors there and had once beaten them into fleeing in defeat.

He had never expected that just fifty years after his departure, the offensive and defensive positions between the two countries would suddenly reverse!

"I really don't know what kind of Xia Emperor Summer Skyfate, that bastard, is! Just a mere Huang rank fifth level Martial Emperor dares to provoke our country's border like this. Cai Feng, that scoundrel, I think he has the guts of a dog!"

He furiously smashed the corner of the Emperor's chair. The Martial Emperors and ministers below all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Summer Bright.

"Your Majesty, give me fifty thousand elite soldiers. Within thirty days, I will definitely bring back Cai Feng's head."

General General Gu Sha from the military stepped forward, clasped his fists, and volunteered.

Logically speaking, this matter should have been handled by the Lingxiao Pavilion Twenty-Four Martial Emperors.

But the Tenth Flying General Chen Boyu, who guarded the East Continent, was just a Huang Realm Third Level Martial Emperor, and at this moment, he had been routed by the Heavenly Martial Great General.

And the other Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperors also had their own territories to guard.

After the end of Xia Feng's wedding day, they quickly rushed back to their own territories.

Long Lin's earlier blustering had cast a shadow in their hearts. Knowing that the Nichao Empire could attack at any time, they had to be on guard.

The remaining Martial Emperors also needed to guard the Imperial Capital.

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Martial Great General was just a Huang rank fifth level Martial Emperor, merely a minor character among Martial Emperors.

When two countries are at war, the conflict escalates gradually.

It's not like if you send out a Yellow Rank Martial Emperor, I'll immediately send a Heaven Rank Martial Emperor to suppress them.

That wouldn't be a war; that would be an endless struggle between two countries, with all high-level forces deployed, determined to fight to the death.

That kind of war is a war of annihilation.

General General Gu Sha was a Martial Emperor within the military. At this time, he was already a Huang rank fifth level Martial Emperor. Facing the Heavenly Martial Great General, who was also a Martial Emperor within the military, he was confident he could defeat him.

Chen Boyu's defeat and retreat meant sending General General Gu Sha with fifty thousand elite soldiers to reinforce was also a correct decision.

However, Summer Bright shook his head. He stood up and looked at Xia Feng.

Xia Feng nodded and stood up directly from the leftmost Emperor's chair.

Before the court session began, the grandfather and grandson had already discussed it.

Therefore, Xia Feng stood up directly and clasped his fists towards Summer Bright.

"Xia Emperor, since that Heavenly Martial Great General is threatening to capture me, then I will personally go there!"

"The Emperor Child leading the campaign will, firstly, boost our military might, and secondly, it will be a show of disregard for the Nichao Empire's provocation."

"They keep saying 'hand over the Great Xia Empire's Emperor Child', as if our Great Xia Empire is a plaything they can manipulate at will."

"I will let them know what national prestige means!"

"A dragon has reverse scales; touching them incurs wrath. I will definitely take that Heavenly Martial Great General's dog head!"

Xia Feng spoke each word resolutely and decisively!

Summer Bright's lips curved slightly upwards. He raised his head and looked at the ministers.

"Everyone, the Emperor Child will lead this battle first. What are your opinions?"

The ministers below the platform were stunned for a moment, then spoke in unison.

"The Emperor Child is brave and responsible, a well-deserved model for our Great Xia Empire!"

"We wish the Emperor Child a great victory in this battle and a triumphant return!"

The vast majority of people below the platform had no objections; in fact, they were very satisfied with this new Emperor Child who dared to fight for the Empire.

As Emperor Children, the previous Emperor Child, Xia Naiwu, had never gone on a campaign.

He was always indulging in pleasure in Qingxin Hall, placing informants throughout the imperial palace, causing widespread panic.

In such an atmosphere, when could the hearts of the Empire's people ever unite?

Even the Lingxiao Pavilion Twenty-Four Martial Emperors, who only obeyed the Xia Emperor's orders, had four Martial Emperors diverted by him to the so-called Emperor Child's lineage.

It was no wonder that at that time, no one had the thought of serving their family and country.

Although the vast majority of people agreed, one person had a resentful expression.

That was General General Gu Sha.

He had endured in the military as a Martial Emperor for a long time, believing his contributions were no less than the latter six Flying Generals among the Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperors.

But unfortunately, others had filled the positions, and even if he wanted to rise further, he could only wait bitterly.
