Section 50

“This is Emperor-level martial arts…”

Xia Feng murmured, his eyes becoming even more solemn.

He thought far ahead; those people in the Imperial Family cultivated this kind of martial arts from birth, their starting point was countless times higher than others.

This also meant that their strength was practically invincible within the same Realm!

The more he thought about this, the less Xia Feng dared to relax. He immediately began cultivating the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart.

Time passed quickly in the dream.

The only martial art Xia Feng could currently use was the peerless martial art Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash.

After a thousand years in the dream, Xia Feng had already cultivated to the second layer.

Two smooth, pure white Nine Orifices Exquisite Hearts had also appeared within his body.

“Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash is a type I cultivated myself. I still need to choose two more martial arts to be carried by the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart to enhance their power.”

Xia Feng took out a shimmering white storage ring and poured out all the martial arts scrolls he had looted from the Yunxiang Sect.

“Peerless martial arts that can be used…”

He rummaged through them and finally pulled out two martial arts scrolls.

One was a peerless High Grade sword technique martial art—Heavenly Evolution of All Living Beings Sword.

The other was a peerless Low Grade lightning martial art—Thunder Desolation Overlord Star.

Heavenly Evolution of All Living Beings Sword was perfect for use with the Qingxue Sword, and as for Thunder Desolation Overlord Star, after Xia Feng transformed into the Purple Lightning Body, he was even more familiar with the use of lightning martial arts, and there was also a power bonus.

“What a waste, using Emperor-level martial arts to enhance peerless martial arts…”

Xia Feng gave a bitter smile. This matter was truly like a clever housewife without rice to cook; the martial arts he currently possessed were these, there was no other choice.

A thousand years in the dream, three hours in reality.

After Xia Feng woke up, the sky had just started to brighten.

He held the Qingxue Sword in his left hand and a middle-grade Spirit Treasure saber he found from the Yunxiang Sect in his right, then ran to an open space not far from the City Lord's Mansion to test their power.

Chapter 56: Earth Rank Martial Emperor, condensing three Great Dao abilities!

Time waits for no one. In the following time, Xia Feng did nothing but Cultivate.

During the day, he recreated the martial arts he learned in the dream in reality, washing away the sense of separation between dream and reality.

At night, he used the Dream Pearl and continuously received the baptism of the Great Dao sounds.

At this time, Xia Feng was constantly circulating his Dantian in the dream world, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The Supreme Art circulated frantically, and his Realm was also rising little by little.

“Have I reached Earth Rank Martial Emperor?”

Soon, Xia Feng opened his eyes, stretched out his hands, and began to feel the changes within himself.

Today was his one thousand eight hundredth year of cultivation, and he had successfully entered the ranks of Earth Rank Martial Emperor!

“It’s time to condense another Great Dao ability,” Xia Feng took a deep breath.

With the Breakthrough of a Martial Emperor, each minor Realm would absorb the power of the Great Dao of heaven and earth and condense a type of Divine Ability.

In the Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang ranks, a newly advanced Martial Emperor only had one Divine Ability, while a powerful Heaven Rank Martial Emperor could possess four!

Divine abilities were the most powerful offensive means for Martial Emperors, and they were also the concretization of their strength.

Martial Emperors with multiple divine abilities had astonishing destructive power, making them hard to defend against.

At this time, Xia Feng had leaped from Huang Realm Martial Emperor to Earth Rank Martial Emperor, which also meant he could condense two more divine abilities.

Xia Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly looking up at the golden sky, his entire being moving with a thought.

He slowly condensed the power of the Great Dao within his body into his Dantian, and then used the Supreme Art to comprehend the Origin of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, conceiving new Martial Emperor divine abilities.

“The last Divine Ability was the Thunder Punishment formed by relying on the Purple Lightning Body. These two this time…”

Xia Feng's eyes moved slightly, and he began to think.

“The power of the Great Dao is the power of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth…”

Thinking of this, Xia Feng's eyes instantly lit up, and he found the direction for condensing his divine abilities.

Then, Xia Feng closed his eyes again and began to condense spiritual energy according to his idea, attempting repeatedly!

Two hundred years flashed by.

Xia Feng stood up from the ground, holding the Qingxue Sword in his left hand, grinning.

This smile was the joy of mastering these two divine abilities.

“Heavenly Execution!”

Xia Feng roared upwards, pointing the Qingxue Sword towards the sky above his head.

“Rumble!”

A loud bang erupted from the sky, and a projection of a giant Qingxue Sword descended from the heavens!

This giant Qingxue Sword emanated a terrifying Aura, seemingly brewing world-destroying power!

No one would doubt the power of this giant sword smashing into the ground!

“Earth Destruction!” Before Heavenly Execution disappeared, Xia Feng roared again.

Instantly, the ground beneath Xia Feng's feet began to tremble, making rumbling sounds.

Black malevolent energy gradually covered the ground. Slowly, this malevolent energy, following Xia Feng's will, condensed into countless sharp black blades!

Under Xia Feng's guidance, they quickly locked onto their targets and frantically rushed towards the mountains in front!

The moment countless black blades came into contact with the mountains, the originally towering mountain peak, fully five thousand meters wide, was instantly broken in half at the waist. Countless fragments of earth rolled down, stirring up endless dust.

Thunder Punishment, Heavenly Execution, Earth Destruction.

These were the three most powerful trump cards Xia Feng currently possessed. Each Divine Ability had unparalleled offensive power. Coupled with the other three peerless martial arts assisted by the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart, his strength had increased by another large margin!

“Two thousand years of time can only elevate me to Earth Rank Third Level Martial Emperor. It seems the upper limit for top-grade talent is here.”

“This is too slow. It seems I need to find more spiritual herbs and fruits that can improve talent in the future.”

Xia Feng put away the Qingxue Sword and shook his head helplessly.

Improving from Huang Realm First Level Martial Emperor to Earth Rank Third Level Martial Emperor in two thousand years was also a quite astonishing achievement if placed outside.

Some Earth Rank Martial Venerables lacked talent and could only Cultivate through hard labor. Some even took tens of thousands of years to break through to Earth Rank.

But Xia Feng had clearly taken the express train too much and was now complaining about the speed.

If those Martial Emperors who were stuck at Xuan Realm Ninth Heaven for thousands or tens of thousands of years heard this, they would probably all want to kill him.

...

While Xia Feng was cultivating in his dream, nine terrifying Auras from afar were approaching Xingyu City at extreme speed!

Their Aura was boundless and terrifying. The mere pressure brought by their flight caused the ninth-level Spirit Beasts below, comparable to human Martial Venerables, to tremble and flee in all directions with startled cries.

The arrivals belonged to the Three Great Dynasties of the Great Xia Empire: the Tianxia Dynasty, the Di Xia Dynasty, and the Ren Xia Dynasty.

“After so many years, that Reverse Blood lineage is still restless. It's really troublesome, wasting my time with women!”

A bald man leading the group said impatiently. He was full of muscles but wore a contrasting black and white Daoist robe and spoke vulgar language, not like a Daoist but rather like a licentious monk.

“It doesn’t matter. For us, it’s just like going for a walk. The Tianxia Emperor's intention is for us to cripple that kid's Dantian, but I think it's a bit troublesome. What if he has descendants with astonishing talent in the future? Wouldn't we have to make another trip?”

Behind the bald Daoist, another young-looking man yawned and said, “Let's be direct. Let's just kill off that Reverse Blood lineage completely. Anyway, the Emperor Body has long been transplanted onto that Lord.”

“Do you want to defy the Tianxia Emperor's decree?” The bald man snorted, “The Tianxia Emperor has his considerations for not killing the Reverse Blood lineage. You just need to obey orders!”

“Listen to the boss,” a man with yellow hair next to the young man patted his shoulder.

The young man shrugged and stopped talking.

“I heard that kid destroyed the Yunxiang Sect after being promoted to Huang Realm Martial Emperor. His talent is indeed not weak. A twenty-three-year-old Huang Realm Martial Emperor… Heh heh, I really want him to join my collection…”

The leader of the Di Xia Dynasty was an old man. A string of skull necklaces hung on his chest, and he kept cackling strangely, looking extremely eerie and sinister.

Behind him, there were also two Xuan Realm Martial Emperors wearing hoods, their faces unclear.

“Old Gui, restrain yourself. After all, it's a Bloodline that produced an Emperor Child,” the leader of the Ren Xia Dynasty was a man with a feminine appearance and a pale face.

On either side of him were also two Xuan Realm Martial Emperors, who consciously stayed a step behind, clearly indicating that he was in charge.

“Han Sen is right. This operation will be under my command. The sooner we cripple him, the sooner we can go back,” the leading licentious Daoist said.

Old Gui and Han Sen nodded, not denying the licentious Daoist's position as commander.

After all, in a world where strength was respected, the eight of them were all Xuan Realm Martial Emperors, while this licentious Daoist was an Earth Rank First Level Martial Emperor.

Why the people above didn't give the order to kill Xia Feng, the licentious monk Ma Wuji could actually guess nine times out of ten.

Although it was a Reverse Blood lineage, it had indeed produced an Emperor Body. The potential of this Bloodline was evident.

Kept in Xingyu City, if their descendants could produce another Heavenly Emperor Body…

Thinking of this, Ma Wuji couldn't help but shiver.
