17: In the middle period of Emperor Wu, the situation is about to reverse!

A minor breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Level in just one month.

Such speed, even when considering the entire vast Blue Star, is enough to shock all sides and become the focus of everyone's discussion!

Xu Yi no longer thought too much, tightly gripping the SSS-level Blazing Thunder Crystal in his hand, which contained rich lightning energy.

He closed his eyes and focused, wholeheartedly immersing himself in absorbing the resources!

In an instant, the lightning-attribute energy within the Blazing Thunder Crystal surged into Xu Yi's body like a wild horse unbridled, galloping and flowing along the intricate network of meridians!

The internal energy was not only abundant and powerful, but also exceptionally pure, causing Xu Yi's cultivation to climb steadily like bamboo shoots in spring.

Every second, he could feel the growth of his internal strength and cultivation.

This feeling of comfort, from the inside out, made Xu Yi almost intoxicated, forgetting the passage of time........

Day after day, night and day, in the blink of an eye, two weeks quietly passed.

And on this ordinary day at noon, the sky above Tianchi City suddenly changed dramatically!

A powerful Martial Emperor aura, far beyond ordinary human comprehension, swept across the entire city like a violent storm!

This caused everyone in the city, whether martial artists or ordinary citizens, to involuntarily stop everything they were doing and look up at the sky, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared, as if the entire sky was covered by a thick curtain.

The sound of thunder echoed through the clouds.

Black lightning, like giant dragons, weaved through the clouds, and the flashes contained destructive power, shrouding the entire city in a doomsday-like scene!

Witnessing this scene, everyone was momentarily flustered and began to discuss animatedly.

"This... what's going on? Why did it suddenly change so much?!"

"Hiss! This aura seems to originate from the Marshal Residence!"

"Marshal Residence? Such a terrifying anomaly suddenly appeared in the sky, could it be that Defense Envoy has made progress in his cultivation?!"

"As expected of Defense Envoy, his talent is truly strong."

"........."

The news quickly spread throughout the city, and both ordinary citizens and high-level martial artists were shocked by this sudden terrifying aura.

They all stopped what they were doing and discussed heatedly.

Especially those Martial Venerable-level masters, who could more deeply feel the Martial Emperor pressure contained within this aura!

It was a display of power that surpassed the limits of their cognition!

"This aura seems a bit off. It doesn't seem like further progress in cultivation. Could it be that... Defense Envoy, he, he broke through?!"

The voice of the Martial Saint-level Martial Arts Association President trembled slightly, his eyes filled with both shock and awe, knowing what it meant to break through to Martial Emperor in such a short period of time........

At this moment, Xu Yi in the cultivation room slowly opened his eyes, which flickered with the light of thunder.

The surrounding cultivation resources had all turned into nothingness, completely absorbed by him, leaving only an empty cultivation room and a powerful energy fluctuation that had not yet dissipated.

A smile that he couldn't hide hung on the corner of his mouth.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Martial Emperor pressure that enveloped the entire city instantly receded, and everything returned to its usual calm.

Xu Yi looked down at the communication ring on his finger, his heart surging with indescribable excitement!

What was originally expected to take a month now only took a short half-month, and he had successfully entered the realm of Martial Emperor.

"Haha, I really didn't misjudge myself. All these level shackles will eventually be broken by me one by one!"

Xu Yi's heroic laughter penetrated the cultivation room, echoing throughout the entire manor.

After nearly tens of seconds, Xu Yi finally reined in the surging joy in his heart, and his state of mind returned to peace.

From the clouds, he returned to reality.

With a thought, the system panel opened in response, and a series of changes in his personal strength data came into view.

After browsing, he gently tapped, and the panel disappeared again.

Then Xu Yi stood up, clenched his fists, and sensed the vast energy within him, like a surging river, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!

Then, in an exceptionally comfortable mood, he walked out of the cultivation room.

"Congratulations, sir, for another step forward in your cultivation!"

The butler, Butler Zhao Jian, had been waiting outside the door at some point, and as soon as he saw Xu Yi come out, he hurried forward, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and admiration.

The pressure that Xu Yi had just unleashed shocked even him, an "old man" who had struggled on the path of martial arts for many years but whose cultivation had regressed.

It was the most terrifying aura he had ever witnessed in his life!

"Hehe, it's just crossing another minor realm, nothing to make such a fuss about."

Xu Yi smiled calmly, his tone peaceful but unable to hide the joy in his heart.

Butler Zhao Jian's eyes flashed with disbelief upon hearing this, saying, "Sir... are you saying that your current level of cultivation has already entered Martial Emperor?!"

His voice trembled slightly, clearly greatly shocked by the news!

He had originally thought that Xu Yi had only made great progress in his cultivation during these two weeks of seclusion.

But he never expected that he had directly crossed the chasm between the early and middle stages.

Such a breakthrough speed was unprecedented, refreshing the breakthrough records of all Martial Emperor Level martial artists on Blue Star!

Xu Yi looked at Butler Zhao Jian's shocked and pale face, and gently nodded in confirmation, "That's right, Martial Emperor."

Then his tone shifted, and he began to inquire about the outside situation during his seclusion.

"In these two weeks while I was in seclusion breaking through, has anything major happened in Mobei Province?"

Butler Zhao Jian listened to the inquiry and quickly composed himself, beginning to report in detail, "During your seclusion, Mobei Province has been peaceful and calm."

"The three Beast Saints outside the border battlefield and the beast tide they led have not made any moves since they were killed by you last time."

"The three major defense lines are safe and sound, and the various cities in the rear are also peaceful..."

Butler Zhao Jian had been with Xu Yi for many years, from a subordinate to his current butler.

He was already very familiar with Xu Yi's habits; he would always ask about these things after each seclusion.

Therefore, he had already made full preparations, reporting clearly and meticulously.

After listening to Butler Zhao Jian's report, Xu Yi pondered for a moment and muttered, "So, these beasts have chosen to lie low now..."

His gaze deepened, as if he was thinking about something.

In the past, the fierce beasts outside the territory were never so well-behaved, at least harassing the three major defense lines once a week, constantly looking for opportunities to break through the defense lines and attack the human cities in the rear.

"Want to hide your Edge and recuperate, huh? I won't let you have your way."

A sharp killing intent flashed in Xu Yi's eyes.

He had seen through the intentions of these fierce beasts.

Now that he had successfully broken through to Martial Emperor and his strength had greatly increased, it was time to take the initiative and change the current situation!

That ambush back then wasn't going to end so easily.

He would use the blood of the fierce beasts outside the territory to comfort the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the three major defense lines, allowing their heroic spirits to rest in peace........
