Section 153

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Feng went straight up the city wall.

There, three blood-stained men knelt on the ground, their hands fixed by iron chains, their faces lifeless.

When Xia Feng approached, their bodies trembled slightly, and their lifeless bodies erupted with strength again, gnashing their teeth and glaring fiercely at Xia Feng.

"Xia Feng!"

The Fierce Spirit Martial Emperor roared, wishing he could swallow him whole and skin him alive.

"Hmm, I'm here."

Xia Feng, however, nodded expressionlessly, then stepped forward, stroked his chin, and looked thoughtfully at the iron chains binding the three.

"You will definitely die, you will definitely die. Although we can't kill you now, there are more Martial Emperors in the Nichao Empire than just us. You will definitely be trampled into meat paste by the iron cavalry of our Nichao Empire!"

"Alright."

Xia Feng nodded, then took out the Qingxue Sword from his storage ring.

The sword's blade flashed with cold light, and the three great Earth Rank Martial Emperors couldn't help but shiver.

These past few days, they had been bled by Xia Feng like livestock, and by now they had long since lost their strength. The Yunxiao Martial Emperor still wanted to beg for mercy, but after opening his mouth and making a few whimpering sounds, he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, the Fierce Spirit Martial Emperor also revealed a look of despair in his eyes.

They had discovered since yesterday that no more vital blood could flow from their bodies.

And then today Xia Feng came.

Like old sheep from whom no more oil could be squeezed, or like donkeys that couldn't push the millstone.

After losing their use value, it seemed only death awaited them.

"It seems you already know your end. Opposing me results in such a fate."

Xia Feng coldly raised the Qingxue Sword, and with a swing, the blade fell.

Three heads rolled onto the ground with a thud.

The heavens and earth hummed, and a drizzling rain began to fall.

Three terrifying Great Dao powers returned to the heavens and earth.

...

In the Nichao Empire, Qing Ti heard the news from Jiuteng Tower that the tokens of the three were all shattered. He couldn't help but fly into a rage, turned around, and smashed a Servant into meat paste with a punch.

Xia Feng, who had come down from above Ling City, held the Wash Marrow Pill in his hand and no longer hesitated, putting it directly into his mouth.

Returning to his room, Xia Feng quickly sat cross-legged, the heat on his body causing him to sweat profusely.

Changing one's talent must involve a complete reshaping from the inside out.

The last time Xia Feng consumed the purple thunder fruit, he was in agony to the point of breakdown.

But now that he was a Martial Emperor, his Physique was much stronger than before. Coupled with experiencing so many things, Xia Feng's temperament had also become like steel.

The Wash Marrow Pill could elevate a Martial Warrior's talent to peerless, which was the so-called Heavenly Emperor Body.

But Xia Feng was already a Martial Emperor at this time, so an Emperor Body would not be reborn within him. This was actually a good thing for Xia Feng.

This meant that his talent transformation would not take too long.

After about a day and a night, Xia Feng stood up from the floor covered in filth. At this time, his entire body was like white jade. Throughout the entire day, all the waste material within his body had been expelled.

The pores all over his body seemed to be breathing fresh air. Xia Feng had never felt so relaxed before.

The change in talent was obvious.

Xia Feng's understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was no longer as hazy as before; it had become completely clear.

It was as if the previous Xia Feng only knew how to do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. After his talent was elevated to peerless, he could already comprehend calculus.

The improvement of talent was this simple and direct.

How strong exactly was peerless talent?

By night, Xia Feng couldn't wait to pull the Ten Girls to enter the dream Realm together.

He really wanted to see how far having peerless talent, on the same level as an Heavenly Emperor Body, could take him within ten thousand years.

Like before, it took a full seventy to eighty thousand years to break through a few minor Realms. This snail-like cultivation speed had long since made him extremely dissatisfied.

This was like a young person who drove a dilapidated old car his whole life, getting stuck in traffic every day commuting to and from work, and could only drive up to one hundred miles per hour at most.

But suddenly one day he obtained a supercar. After being stifled for so many years, shouldn't he quickly find a highway with no speed limit and race to his heart's content?

Xia Feng was not a Martial Warrior who was content with the status quo; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach this point today.

As night fell, ten Great Daos of Heaven and Earth hummed faintly in the sky. Xia Feng eagerly comprehended them, one after another, those he comprehended himself, those derived...

Ten thousand years passed quickly.

Opening his eyes in the morning, Xia Feng immediately erupted with an unparalleled Aura. He opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at his hands in disbelief.

"Earth... Earth Rank First Level?"

Xia Feng's Realm, from Xuan Realm Fifth Level, broke through to Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor in just ten thousand years.

He had also mastered thirty-one of the ten Great Daos of Heaven and Earth he controlled, all at the Realm of Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor.

Coupled with the complete Supreme Art and the ten Great Daos, the current Xia Feng, let alone an Earth Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor, even wanted to clash with a Heaven Rank Martial Emperor!

"So awesome!"

A strange cry came from Xia Feng's room, causing the Ten Girls living nearby to show helpless smiles.

The Ten Girls did not choose to improve their Realms during these ten thousand years, but continued to study and improve the Emperor Formations.

The previous Five Elements Formation and Ten Absolute Formation were forcibly elevated by one level under their dissection and study, becoming Emperor-level High Grade Emperor Formations.

When the Five Women jointly deployed the Five Elements Formation, they could withstand an Earth Rank Eighth Level Martial Emperor. When the ten people jointly deployed the Ten Absolute Formation, they could fight a Heaven Rank First Level Martial Emperor!

Chapter 187: Setting a Trap, Heaven Rank Martial Emperors Mobilize

Nichao Empire Imperial Capital.

The Azure Emperor was no longer as furious as before. He sat silently on the imperial chair, looking expressionlessly at the assembled officials before him.

"Are you all ready?"

"Reporting to the Azure Emperor, we are all ready!"

The civil and military officials in the great hall cupped their fists and bowed, their shouts shaking the heavens, as if they wanted to break through the roof.

"Very good."

The Azure Emperor nodded, then he turned his head to look at the more than ten figures on the right side.

"This is a war to destroy a nation. As the remaining elites of the Nine Ascendant Tower, you should be prepared to lead troops."

The Azure Emperor said slowly, every word revealing majesty and dominance.

"Azure Emperor, we have been waiting for this day day and night."

The remaining elites of Jiuteng Tower all cupped their fists and knelt on one knee.

"Very good. The military tallies of the Ministry of War are all in your hands. Afterwards, go to the Eastern State, communicate more with the Martial Emperors in the army, and grasp the distribution of the Great Xia army."

"Although some Martial Emperors have died, this cannot shake the Foundation of my Nichao Empire... The Great Xia Empire in this era is too arrogant and truly too presumptuous."

"Could it be that they truly believe that my Nichao Empire cannot touch them?"

"Since this new Xia Emperor wants to break the balance between the two nations that has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, then let him come."

"In a war between nations, only the victor can continue to develop... It's also time for the Heaven Rank Martial Emperors to join the war."

The Azure Emperor took a deep breath, his eyes fervent.

At the same time, while the Azure Emperor was holding court in the Imperial Capital, Xia Feng had already led twenty thousand vanguard troops to attack cities and seize strongholds, entering the border of the Nichao Empire, successively taking down more than ten outposts.

After breaking through to Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor, Xia Feng couldn't wait to find the Martial Emperors of the Nichao Empire to operate on.

It was a pity that the Nichao Martial Emperors on the border of the Eastern State had already been completely killed by Xia Feng, and the new Nine Ascendant Tower Martial Emperors had not yet arrived.

At this time, the only ones left in the Nichao Empire's army were two Huang Realm Martial Emperors.

When they saw Xia Feng attacking, they were like mice seeing a cat. They did not engage in battle and immediately led their troops to retreat a hundred miles.

For no other reason than that the Earth Rank First Level Xia Feng, leading those invincible veteran soldiers who had fought a hundred battles, was truly too fierce and simply unstoppable.

Most of the previous main forces had been drawn away by Fiend and others, and the remaining people couldn't even defend the basic territory now.

It could be said that Xia Feng entered the border of the Nichao Empire with almost no effort, and his army even overwhelmed the first city in the Western Xinjiang of the Nichao Empire, Beacon Fire City.

And the gates of this city were wide open, with no one inside, only the desolate wind and sand blowing through.

It was clearly already an empty city.

Xia Feng shrugged, then waved his hand, ordering his soldiers to occupy the city.

This was the first time the Great Xia Empire had occupied a city of the Nichao Empire. The size of Beacon Fire City was not large, far from comparable to the Great Xia Empire's giant city, Ling City.

But the significance of occupying this city-state this time was immense. This meant that the Great Xia Empire would shift from defense to offense starting today, completely changing from the previous situation of passively taking blows.

Countless Great Xia people were excited and indignant. Even the courtesans in the Imperial Capital were unwilling to accept silver, inviting those with affinity to celebrate together.
