Section 60

High-Grade Saint Realms are usually formed through tens of thousands of years of Holy Land wars and annexations, with several Middle Grade Holy Lands eventually merging into one High-Grade Saint Realm.

High-Grade Saint Realms are filled with experts; generally, Earth Rank Martial Saints will appear among them, and there are even a small number of low-level Heaven Realm Martial Saints.

And this final Top-Grade Saint Realm is the true culmination of power among forces beneath the Empire!

The Holy Master of a Top-Grade Saint Realm must be a Ninth Level Heaven Realm Martial Saint. Besides them, there are many hidden Guest Elders, Elders, and old monsters in slumber.

Any one of these people, if sent out casually, would be an existence capable of making High-Grade Saint Realms tremble with fear!

Top-Grade Saint Realms have been passed down for at least a hundred thousand years; besides the Empire, they are the most powerful entities, transcending all others.

And these Top-Grade Saint Realms have left behind numerous restrictions in order to consolidate their strength.

For example, within the Holy Land, the most potential boys and girls will be chosen as Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, and they must also unite.

The offspring born from the two, without exception, are monstrous talents with exceptional innate ability and comprehension.

With the Holy Land's resources used for vigorous cultivation, most of them become candidates for the next Holy Master of the Top-Grade Saint Realm.

Therefore, when they learned that the Ten Great Saintesses had come for Xia Feng that day, those Holy Masters were unhappy.

Tradition cannot be easily broken!

"Di Xia Dynasty, Ren Xia Dynasty, you should all wash your necks and wait."

Xia Feng shot up towards the sky. His speed was seven or eight times faster than when he was a Half-Saint before!

That is to say, it would only take one day for Xia Feng to reach the Di Xia Dynasty!

At this moment in the Di Xia Dynasty, Di Xia Emperor Xia Di was restless, pacing back and forth in the main hall as if troubled by something, sighing repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, that person of the Reverse Blood lineage is truly strange. He was actually able to destroy the Tianxia Dynasty by himself. I suspect he has already entered the Half-Saint Realm."

In the imperial court, all the civil and military officials remained silent. Only a white-haired old man cupped his fists and stepped forward, saying.

"I know, but the Tianxia Dynasty, including Xia Tian, had a full five Heaven Rank Martial Emperors, while my Di Xia Dynasty only has four. If that kid comes knocking, how should we defend ourselves?"

The Ren Xia Emperor's Face revealed a look of pain.

Since learning that the Tianxia Dynasty had been destroyed by Xia Feng, he hadn't been able to eat or sleep well for the next few days.

It was their Three Great Dynasties that had sent people to kill Xia Feng back then.

The destruction of the Tianxia Dynasty showed that that kid was someone who would definitely retaliate for even the smallest grievance!

So who was next? The Di Xia Dynasty, or the Ren Xia Dynasty?

Even the strongest Tianxia Dynasty was destroyed. How could their Dynasties, which were slightly weaker in overall strength, resist?

He had considered whether to just abandon the Di Xia Dynasty and move the main force south.

But thinking of the current Xia Emperor's nature, if he fled without a fight like this, he would likely die dozens of times more miserably than being killed by Xia Feng!

"Perhaps we can make peace with him."

The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, then sighed.

"Your Majesty, when the Battle Heaven Dynasty was destroyed by the Ten Great Generals before, you did not go. From a standpoint perspective, we have not yet formed a deadly enmity with the Reverse Blood lineage."

"Only when the Xia Emperor issued the command before did we send Han Sen to lead a team to cripple that kid."

"There is some grievance, but compared to the Tianxia Dynasty, it's still okay. I suggest that, facing an invincible strong enemy, perhaps we can proactively apologize and compensate him with a portion of Middle Grade Dragon Crystals and..."

"Nonsense! This is absolutely impossible!"

Before the white-haired old man could finish speaking, an Eighth Level Heaven Rank Martial Emperor stood up in the main hall and angrily interrupted him.

"As a Dynasty, why should we humble ourselves to a Reverse Blood lineage? What is he? A beastly thing! Do you really think he's a Half-Saint, and that the Tianxia Dynasty was destroyed by him alone?"

That General was burly and rough, his eyes full of contempt. His speech was vulgar and rude, openly belittling Xia Feng.

"After all, no one saw what happened at the time, but I can say with ninety-nine percent certainty that that kid definitely doesn't have the strength of a Half-Saint. To destroy the Tianxia Dynasty, perhaps he hired someone else to act!"

"Ma Kai, what do you mean by this?"

Di Xia Emperor Xia Di's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he asked.

"Your Majesty."

Ma Kai cupped his fists and said, "We don't need to fear that beast. It's a very simple principle: from our location to the Tianxia Dynasty, Martial Emperor experts only need three days to reach it. But now a full eight days have passed!"

"What does this show? It shows that that Reverse Blood lineage beast simply doesn't have the strength to attack our Di Xia Dynasty!"

"If he were truly a Half-Saint, wouldn't it be a simple matter for him to come for our Di Xia Dynasty after destroying the Tianxia Dynasty?"

"I strongly suspect that his battle achievements are exaggerated, and it's not even certain that the Tianxia Dynasty was destroyed by him!"

The more Ma Kai spoke, the angrier he got. He turned his head and spat on the ground, cursing at the surrender faction led by the white-haired old man: "You dogs who harm the country and the people!"

Chapter 69: You, You Are a Martial Saint?

"The reason our Di Xia Dynasty can exist today is because of our determination to dare to fight, to dare to struggle, and to dare to fight to the death with the enemy!"

"If everyone were like you, becoming timid and hesitant at the slightest rumor, and couldn't wait to surrender to the other side, then our Dynasty would have collapsed long ago!"

"Yan Old Man, stop trying to mislead Your Majesty here. A twenty-three-year-old kid, being able to break through to Earth Rank Martial Emperor in such a short time, I'll admit his Heavenly Emperor Body is incredible!"

"But if you tell me that he's a Half-Saint at twenty-three, I really wish I could spit a mouthful of phlegm in your Face to make you sober up properly!"

This vulgar-speaking General spoke like a machine gun, making it difficult for Yan Old Man to parry.

His entire old Face turned red, and he pointed at the other party somewhat angrily, saying, "You... you, you scoundrel! We are discussing a major matter concerning the survival of the Dynasty, yet you are throwing a tantrum here like a shrew. You are a disgrace to scholars, and you dare to be a General of the Dynasty? It's simply shameful!"

"Hmph, I think you're the one who's shameful, aren't you?" The General sneered, completely unmoved by Yan Old Man's words.

"To even be afraid of such a snot-nosed kid, you've truly lived so many years in vain!"

A thoughtful light flashed in Di Xia Emperor Xia Di's eyes.

It had to be said, although the General's words were vulgar, upon closer examination, they were quite reasonable.

If that Xia Feng were truly a Half-Saint expert, there's no reason he would let them off after destroying the Tianxia Dynasty...

If a Half-Saint were coming, it would only take about two days, right?

But it's already the eighth day. Perhaps General Zhang is right?

If possible, who would be willing to keep being cowardly towards others like this?

Moreover, the other party is just a snot-nosed brat!

He had even thought about moving south to seek refuge before. At this moment, a surge of shame and indignation welled up in his heart.

"Hear my command!"

Suddenly, Di Xia Emperor Xia Di let out a loud shout, causing all the civil and military officials in the court to tremble. Then they turned around one after another, cupping their fists.

"Your Majesty!"

"I have made my decision. General Zhang, you will immediately go to the Ren Xia Dynasty and tell Ren Xia Emperor Xia Ren that that kid is just putting on a show. Have him bring his three Heaven Rank Martial Emperors under his command, and we will join forces to go to Xingyu City and completely capture and kill that kid!"

"This humble General obeys the order!" General Zhang was overjoyed upon hearing this. He immediately stepped forward quickly, then cupped his fists and knelt, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will unite with the Ren Xia Emperor at the fastest speed and will not let that kid escape!"

The others in the imperial court exchanged glances, and also stepped forward one after another, expressing that they would tear Xia Feng's body into ten thousand pieces!

Only Yan Old Man sighed repeatedly on the side, feeling heartbroken and distressed.

That was an Heavenly Emperor Body; becoming a Half-Saint was not entirely impossible.

But he was a person of low status and his words carried little weight; what he said, no one believed, which was equivalent to zero.

It was just a pity that now in the entire Di Xia Dynasty, no one was paying attention to him anymore.

General Zhang took the Di Xia Emperor's handwritten decree, turned around, and was just about to leave the imperial palace.

But the moment his left foot just stepped out of the threshold, he froze in place, completely still.

"My dear official, what's wrong? Why haven't you set off yet? Did you forget to bring something?"

Di Xia Emperor Xia Di was a bit confused by General Zhang's actions. He strode forward and asked thoughtfully.

"No... it's not... he..."

And the only response he received was General Zhang's buzzing sounds like a mosquito, not even turning his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that his entire person had become sluggish, completely scared silly by the scene before him.

"Not what? What are you talking about? As a General of my Di Xia Dynasty, why are you dawdling like a woman when you speak!"

His rude behavior immediately made Di Xia Emperor Xia Di furious. He quickened his pace towards him and loudly reprimanded him!

However, General Zhang still didn't pay attention to him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to pay attention to His Majesty the Xia Emperor, but at this moment, his entire body had lost sensation; his flesh, blood, and bones were all numb!

"Why are you still not speaking? I am asking you, are you ignoring me?!"

Di Xia Emperor saw General Zhang ignoring him like a dead person, especially here in the imperial court with all the civil and military officials present.

This made him feel that he had completely lost Face.

As the high and mighty ruler of a Dynasty, all those in high positions are extremely concerned about saving Face.

Seeing General Zhang unresponsive, the Di Xia Emperor instantly raised his Aura to the extreme.

The Aura of a Ninth Level Heaven Rank Martial Emperor erupted, causing those civil and military officials with weaker strength to retreat one after another, and some even fell to the ground.
