Section 168

This speed simply shocked their understanding.

Without hesitation, the Eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, hefted his giant axe and shot up, breaking through the roof beams of the entire Imperial Dragon Hall. In almost the time it takes to breathe, he landed in front of Summer Bright.

"Is he really about to break through?!"

Xia Haiwei's rough voice boomed out. His eyes were wide as copper bells, constantly appraising Summer Bright.

"Yes."

Facing this impatient and short-tempered Old Ancestor, Summer Bright nodded unhurriedly.

"This, isn't this too fast..."

Xia Haiwei swallowed. Seeing that he was still somewhat disbelieving, Summer Bright simply extended his hand and materialized a portion of the Space Great Dao imbued with divine charm.

"Crackle."

With a soft sound, the power of the Space Great Dao flashed in Summer Bright's hand. That trace of divine charm couldn't be faked.

Xia Haiwei was also a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor. That Aura of a Martial God, which he had studied day and night and yearned for, was truly emanating from Summer Bright.

It couldn't be faked!

It wasn't just him; the other nine Xia Emperors who arrived shortly after also widened their eyes, as if struck by lightning.

"Heaven-Defying, Heaven-Defying, you are truly Heaven-Defying!!"

The Seventh Xia Emperor, Summer AzureSun,'s eyes were also about to pop out. He had comprehended for hundreds of thousands of years and still hadn't found the opportunity to break through.

Summer Bright hasn't even been alive for ten thousand years, has he?

Is this innate divine talent?!

"Could it be that you are not an Heavenly Emperor Body, but a Heavenly God Body? Has our Great Xia Empire produced an Innate God Body?"

The Ninth Xia Emperor let out a strange cry, and then his gaze towards Summer Bright became fervent.

He saw him take a large stride towards Summer Bright, directly extending his arm and wrapping it around Summer Bright's shoulder, completely abandoning the image of an Old Ancestor.

The Ninth Xia Emperor, Xia Yun, grinned slyly, his expression like that of a pervert seeing a young maiden traveling alone.

"Um, Tianming, we are your elders, aren't we?"

"Look, after you become a Martial God, can you take care of us a bit more?"

Xia Yun leaned in. Such intimate behavior made Summer Bright feel uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"What elder or not elder, I am still your elder!"

The Eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, puffed out his beard and went up to give Xia Yun a big slap on the back of his head.

"Get out of the way! Tianming hasn't even broken through yet and you're already thinking about things after that. Our top priority now is to keep this secret for Tianming and protect him while he advances!"

The other Xia Emperors also nodded, agreeing with this.

In fact, they also had the same thoughts as the Ninth Xia Emperor, it was just that they didn't show it as obviously as Xia Yun.

They all cared about their reputation. Although Summer Bright might be the first Martial God of the Great Xia Empire in the future, he hasn't broken through yet.

The best time to build a relationship would be after he breaks through, or when no one else is around.

As for people, especially the previous Xia Emperors, they all valued their reputation.

Shameless ones like the Ninth Xia Emperor were quite rare.

Although most people were quite excited and attached great importance to the fact that the Empire was about to produce a Martial God, one person's reaction was completely out of sync with the others.

The Sixteenth Xia Emperor, a Heaven Rank Fifth Level Martial Emperor, and also Summer Bright's Father, Summer Eastsea.

When he learned that Summer Bright was about to break through to Martial God, he stood frozen in place, looking lost and dejected, almost unable to stand.

"He's about to break through to Martial God? But how can this be? It's only been this long?"

It was as if something had shattered in Summer Eastsea's heart. Endless remorse and regret suddenly surged over him.

Fifty years ago, he chose to abandon Summer Bright, let Summer Bright take control of the throne, and remained silent about everything Summer Skyfate did.

But fifty years later, the Summer Skyfate he had abandoned not only reclaimed the throne but was even about to break through to Martial God.

And his choices and actions also led to the breakdown of his relationship with Summer Bright.

At this moment, Summer Eastsea felt a chill all over. He felt like a clown, a clown who had done something foolish without realizing it.

The gold was clearly right in front of him, yet he chose to pick up a pile of rust and kick the gold away.

Furthermore, that rust, for the sake of power and status, even engaged in treason...

Summer AzureSun turned slightly and glanced sideways at Summer Eastsea.

After the last incident, they also knew about the conflict between Summer Bright and Summer Eastsea.

During the struggle for the throne, Summer Bright had also publicly stated that he and Summer Eastsea would be strangers in the future.

Although there was a blood connection, the feelings were no longer there. If Summer Eastsea had any improper thoughts about Summer Bright breaking through to Martial God, he wouldn't mind striking first.

Summer Eastsea didn't move. Summer Bright also directly ignored him, greeting each of the previous Xia Emperors one by one, skipping over Summer Eastsea.

It wasn't just him; Xia Feng also ignored this man.

A Heaven Rank Fifth Level Xia Emperor, in the past, would have been out of reach, but now...

He hadn't not killed a Heaven Rank Fifth Level Old Man Chongwu before.

Depriving him of his Emperor Body, expelling him from the Dynasty, letting him die of old age in Xingyu City without care, and even favoring Summer Skyfate during the struggle for the throne.

Because of all these things, Xia Feng had long harbored killing intent. If he weren't the only remaining blood relative, Summer Eastsea's fate could only have been death.

"Tianming, when do you plan to break through?"

Just then, Summer AzureSun patted Summer Skyfate's shoulder and asked.

"Tomorrow at noon!"

Summer Skyfate's eyes burst with immense confidence, and he blurted out.

"Good, good, good! It seems that tomorrow at noon, a Martial God will appear in our Great Xia Empire!"

The Eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, threw his head back and laughed heartily. He carried his giant axe on his shoulder, as if he could already see the moment Summer Bright achieved Martial God.

"Right, everyone here, remember this: absolutely do not tell anyone about Tianming's Breakthrough. This is the number one major event in our Empire in hundreds of thousands of years!"

Suddenly, Summer AzureSun's eyes became incredibly cold. He scanned everyone one by one, not caring that everyone here was named Xia.

"If I find out that anyone here leaks the news, causing someone to interfere with Tianming's Breakthrough, then don't blame me for being ruthless towards my own people!"

"Naturally."

All the previous Xia Emperors nodded, but only Summer Eastsea's expression was extremely unnatural.

He had a feeling that Summer AzureSun's words were specifically directed at him.

Soon, Summer Bright, who had already made his plans, began to choose a location to prepare for his Breakthrough to Martial God.

Led by Summer AzureSun, the previous Xia Emperors ascended together and set up a Restriction above the Imperial Capital, sealing off all Auras.

The Imperial Capital was in the very center of the Empire, and generally, no one would dare to attack this place.

But it's better to be safe than sorry. You can never be too careful with this kind of matter.

Chapter 207: Summer Bright Undergoes the Heavenly Tribulation

The next day, noon arrived quickly.

The back mountain of the Imperial Capital was sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

The Ten Emperors of Xia hovered in the sky, not only sealing off the space but also observing the Supreme scene of a true Martial Emperor breaking through to Martial God.

Summer Bright sat cross-legged on the ground, his Aura constantly rising.

The Ten Emperors of Xia frowned, their eyes filled with longing and curiosity.

"It's time!"

Summer AzureSun swallowed. When he felt the Aura emanating from Summer Bright far surpassing that of them, he couldn't help but say.

"Breakthrough!"

Summer Bright's eyes burst with a sharp light. He suddenly tilted his head back and roared. A terrifying blood cloud suddenly condensed in the sky, frantically devouring all the spiritual energy from the surroundings.

At this moment, the Aura around Summer Bright became more and more terrifying, more and more powerful, even exceeding the scope of a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor!

Even Old Ancestor Summer AzureSun dared to say that if he were to fight the current Summer Bright again, he would definitely be instantly killed.

The crimson clouds continued to gather, but the Lightning Tribulation did not strike for a long time.

Each inhalation and exhalation seemed to be brewing something even more terrifying.

Summer Bright looked up at the blood cloud, his eyes filled with deep apprehension. He didn't know how powerful this Heavenly Tribulation would be.

But one thing was certain: as long as he could endure it, Summer Bright would be completely sublimated.

Slowly, four or five hours passed. The blood cloud in the sky was still condensing, but it hadn't unleashed its power yet.

After Summer Bright below comprehended his own true Great Dao, the Aura around him also underwent a fundamental change.

Spiritual energy gradually transitioned, and Divine Power slowly emerged from his body.
