The power of the Divine Realm was far beyond Xia Xiangkun's imagination.
He had built the Tianyi Sword Pavilion after countless struggles in Jianghu. Unfortunately, he had lost his original spirit when he was middle-aged and successful. Therefore, he had been a Genuine Earth Immortal for nearly ten years, but he still could not complete the development of the Divine Realm. Gradually, he accepted the reality. His courage and fighting spirit had disappeared.
There were many Genuine Earth Immortals in Jianghu, but except for those who were born in Confucian orthodoxy, how many people could complete the development of the Divine Realm by themselves? It was simply too difficult, so difficult that it made one feel powerless. Even those who were born in Confucian orthodoxy, if the Heavenly Policy Tower existed in their time, they must have been influential figures on the two lists. Some of them were even at a height that could not be looked up to, such as Guan Shanhai, Li Banshan, and Baili Junmo.
He had indeed accepted his fate in this life. He thought that being the head of a sect was the limit of his ability. However, that was on the premise that he was still the head of a sect. The shocking number of disciples of the Tianyi Sword Pavilion who had lost signs of life and collapsed was the proof of his struggle and his most glorious achievement.
Suddenly, they were all gone?
This really hit his sore spot, and he was in so much pain that he wished he was dead.
"You bastard!" He cursed angrily. The aura that had been suppressed by the Divine Realm suddenly broke out. Half of the sky cracked. Something broke through the sky and fell down, breaking the purple flower into thousands of pieces.
"Sword Seed, Extreme Field of Fire!"
He pressed his fingers into a sword and pointed them downward. A sword light that looked like a fire meteor led thousands of sword-shaped Flowing Fire to pour down. The sharp light that penetrated the soul created a burning hell that roasted the flesh.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented realization. It turned out that the Tianyi Sword Pavilion had unknowingly become a stumbling block for his cultivation. At the moment when it was shattered, his cultivation path that had been locked was also dispelled from the clouds and the sun. He felt the passion and excitement that he had when he was in Jianghu. He wanted to shout, so he shouted,
"Heaven and earth can't stop me. Today, the Tianyi Sword Pavilion will be changed to the Tianyi Sword Faction!"
From a pavilion to a sect, of course, it was not just a change in name, but also contained his shocking ambition to become a grandmaster of a generation. What else could make a person more spirited than the pleasure brought by a breakthrough in cultivation?
But he suddenly noticed that the enemy who killed his son was not only indifferent to his ultimate technique that would allow him to attain the Godly Realm, but there was even a wisp of ridicule on the corners of his mouth.
From Yan Li's point of view, this fiery hell was certainly enough to completely obliterate him. The reason why he was mocking him was because the God State that he had seen before, such as the tip of the iceberg of Emperor Han, was still 90,000 miles away. Naturally, he was not afraid.
"A night of listening to the spring rain in the small building, half the river is rustling and half the river is red."
The demonic laughter spread out again. The originally shattered purple flower reappeared. In the pavilion below, the purple-haired black blade figure stood quietly. His gaze was distant, piercing through the countless heavenly fire meteors, reaching an unknown number of layers of the sky. He looked at the white clouds and the gray dogs.
Suddenly, the setting sun shone on the surface of the lake. Half of the pond was decorated with flowers and the other half with red makeup.
The meteor sword rain fell on it, but it only caused a little ripple.
Xia Xiangkun suddenly realized that this was the real God State. His chest suddenly felt a sharp pain. The fiery hell that he had created was split open from the middle. He spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fell from the bronze cauldron.
The other survivor, Zuo Qianmu, completely shrunk his body under the bronze cauldron, trembling. Seeing that the Pavilion Master had been defeated cleanly, he advised with a trembling voice, "Pavilion Master, why don't you surrender!"
"No!"
Xia Xiangkun had just opened his mouth when he spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, he finally fell under the cauldron. His face was pale. He could only look at the mountains and plains covered with corpses. None of them could stand up again. He felt endless sorrow.
"I can't beat him … I can't beat him … The top ten of the Heavenly Star List is too terrifying …" Zuo Qianmu was like a frightened little beast, extremely terrified.
Yan Li walked over and said, "Between the two of you, the one who tells the truth will live."
Xia Xiangkun gritted his teeth and said, "Will you leave behind future troubles?"
"Do you dare?" Yan Shiyi said with a chuckle.
Xia Xiangkun's mind trembled. He finally knew that the shadow that the other party had left in him would cause his cultivation to be unable to advance for the rest of his life unless he personally defeated or killed the other party. He couldn't help but lower his head in disappointment.
"Pavilion Master … A bad life is better than a good death …" Zuo Qianmu continued to advise.
"The Yue Qiancao Gang came …" Xia Xiangkun closed his eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, "They invited me to suppress Swallow Fort together and promised me many benefits … On the day of the operation, we passed through a strange door. After that, there was only slaughter. A few people escaped through a secret passage. When we arrived, we only saw a ship escaping. Halfway through the chase, someone destroyed our ship. Only then did we realize that there was only one person who escaped …"
"Who?" Yan Li asked.
Xia Xiangkun shook his head and said, "I don't know. The weapon was a spear."
"Chaoyang!" Yan Li and Yan Shiyi looked at each other and continued to ask, "What happened to him afterwards?"
Xia Xiangkun said, "He was captured by two strange people."
"Strange people?" Yan Li said.
Xia Xiangkun hesitated and said, "Like the famous Xue Kuang and Tian Can of the Demon Realm."
This name was, of course, very unfamiliar. Yan Li didn't know much about the Demon Realm, but he had already grasped some clues.
"And then?" He continued to ask.
Xia Xiangkun said, "We went back and followed the clues. We discovered that they had escaped to the Great Desert Plains. When we were chasing them, they were suddenly swallowed by quicksand and disappeared without a trace …"
A trace of delight flashed in his eyes. "The quicksand of the Great Desert Plains is very frightening. Those who are swallowed, not even one in ten thousand survive. They most likely won't survive!"
Yan Li abruptly lifted his chest, and his eyes had lost all warmth. "If anything happens to them, I will make you beg for death."
"You don't keep your word!" Xia Xiangkun said angrily.
"Now, take me to that place!" Yan Li finished speaking. In order to prevent him from playing any tricks, he directly put the God Binding Ring that he had used to deal with Lone Eagle on his neck.
"This, this is?" Of course, Xia Xiangkun still had some tricks up his sleeve, such as ambushing Yan Li when he was unprepared. However, he quickly discovered that this last hope was shattered.
He was like a fish on the chopping block. He had no choice at all.
At the same time, Eastern Sky Territory, Huayang City, King Jing Palace.
King Jing Ji Changrui, like Overlord Ji Polu, had participated in the Battle of God Perishing twenty years ago.
In Li Ku's hunting list, this type of royalty was the priority and must die.
Rumor had it that Li Ku had already arrived hundreds of miles away from Huayang City. King Jing Palace was in a state of panic, as if every bush and tree was an enemy. It was already a pot of porridge.
Only Ji Changrui was still the same as usual. He stood at the corner of the window in his study, his hands behind his back as he gazed at the exuberant greenery outside the window. He was neither panicked nor in a hurry.
His three children each stood in a corner of the study. Unfortunately, they did not learn his calmness and composure. Each of them had varying degrees of anxiety.
The eldest prince, Ji Yuzhang, was twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. His figure was tall and prominent, and he was strong and powerful. He wore a black armor that looked extremely sinister. There were dragon horns protruding from both sides of his shoulders and elbows, and there were piercingly cold black patterns engraved on it. There were distinct layers of barbs on the breastplate. The entire armor seemed to be made to fit his body, and it showed off his figure even more.
This was precisely the Black Rose Armor that the three thousand Xuandang Death Soldiers under the command of King Jing. The barbs on the breastplate symbolized the thorny Black Rose.
He reported in a low voice, "Father, the heroes of the pugilistic world that can be contacted from both the north and south have already sent out invitations. So far, only twenty percent of them have come. However, Lion King Huang Batian has led the Jiangbei Thirteen Dock Chains and the Jiangxi Huangtang Mountain's seventy-two caves, a total of more than nine hundred heroes, and they have already arrived outside Huayang City. Your son made the decision on his own and sent someone to invite him. "
"Twenty percent is already very good," Ji Changrui said without turning his head. "Batian is here too? This time, I've implicated him. Please come over here. "
The second prince, Ji Yulang, did not want to be left behind. "Reporting to Father, the imperial court has already mobilized the Divine Arrester Hua Feihua and thirty percent of the Dragon Emperor Residence's manpower. The Governor of the Protectorate Long Qing will also lead his army here. In addition … the Right Minister Ban Zhao is expected to arrive tomorrow night."
"Mm." Ji Changrui did not deny it.
Ji Yushan was conferred the title of Countess Shuangxia four years ago. She was ranked seventeenth on the List of Beauties and had entered the Mystic Divine Sect to cultivate. She was undoubtedly the most promising of the three siblings. At this moment, she said in a crisp voice, "Father, I have invited Eldest Senior Brother Feng Yiyang and Elder Yuqing from the Mystic Divine Sect. I have also gotten to know Senior Brother Li Zhengjun from the Wilderness God Temple. His Heavenly Fiend Crouching Dragon once killed an elder from the Devil Sect. It's really impressive!"
Everyone had heard of these names.
Ji Changrui turned around and smiled. "Shanshan is indeed capable."
Ji Yulang's eyes flashed. "Little sister, you're really something. Feng Yiyang and Li Zhengjun are both experts on the Heavenly Chen List."
"Second Brother is still a bit more impressive," Ji Yushan said humbly. "The imperial court secretly gathered its strength and invited experts from all over the world. It was a thunderous strike that killed Li Ku. However, it was Second Brother who influenced the imperial court that invited so many experts. It's said that the Right Minister has long entered the Divine Domain and his strength is unfathomable. "
Ji Yulang did not dare to take credit. "This is all because of Father's face. I am currently in the Heavenly Capital, but I'm just an unpopular relative."
Ji Yuzhang said, "Father, Li Ku will come at any time. Make arrangements early."
He directly took off his mask of peace, causing the expressions of his siblings to change. They could no longer restrain their anxiety.
Ji Changrui slowly walked to the desk and sat down. His face was already full of self-mockery. "Back then, because of the struggle for the throne, I couldn't do anything. I racked my brains to survive. Twenty years ago, during the Battle of God Fall, I racked my brains, but the Wei Imperial Territory ultimately fell into the hands of that impoverished person. Even now, I still have to struggle for the absurd matter from twenty years ago. This prince has never had a smooth life. It's all fate. The three of you … "
"Yes …" the three of them lowered their heads.
Ji Changrui said calmly, "If things go wrong, then run."
The three of them trembled. Ji Yuzhang gritted his teeth and said, "Father, could it be that Li Ku is really so terrifying?"
"Unless … the ancestor is willing to act …" Ji Changrui sighed deeply. Only then did exhaustion appear on his face.
