"Idiot, using something like this to threaten me, even if they don't come looking for me, I'll return to kill them one day!"

Xia Tianming roared, slamming the thousand-ton Void Cauldron onto Liao Changfei's body with force.

Liao Changfei flew across the air, uncontrollably spewing blood from his mouth.

It wasn't over. Xia Tianming shot up like a cannon, catching up to Liao Changfei and delivering another heavy blow!

BOOM!

Liao Changfei rolled on the ground, his back skidding along, his expression twisted with pain.

Just now, countless snapping sounds erupted from his body, all his bones shattered!

With cold eyes, Xia Tianming dragged the Void Cauldron and appeared above Liao Changfei again.

"No! Spare me! Lord Emperor's Son, I was wrong!"

Seeing the Death God above him wielding a scythe, the last shred of Liao Changfei's sanity was devoured by fear.

He crumbled and begged Xia Tianming for mercy, his survival instincts overpowering everything, as the once lofty figure of Xia Tianming, commanding thousands, reappeared vividly in his mind.

"Now you know you were wrong? Too late!"

The response was Xia Tianming's icy words, and what awaited him was only the ruthless scythe of the Death God.

"Void Shattering!"

Xia Tianming shouted angrily, and that Void Cauldron expanded once more, so large that Xia Tianming had to lift it with both hands.

The mysterious inscriptions on the outer layer of the cauldron sparkled with an eerie purple light, emanating an unspeakable ancient aura.

The giant cauldron slowly turned, the terrifying mouth of the cauldron aimed at Liao Changfei, and then a purple light shot out.

Staring at the approaching purple light, Liao Changfei had never felt death so close.

"No, my body, my Dantian... What exactly is this thing, could it be a Divine Artifact?!" Liao Changfei wailed in agony and despair as he was engulfed by the purple light.

Within the purple radiance, countless Void fragments wrapped around Liao Changfei, scrambling to tear at his flesh, and all his blood, his Spiritual Power was transformed into the same Void Energy, gradually devouring him.

"You guessed right, too bad there's no reward." Xia Tianming watched him with an expressionless face.

In the endless pain, Liao Changfei's body gradually dissolved, completely merging into the Void Cauldron.

With a wave of Xia Tianming's hand, his Storage Ring and the giant sword he previously used flew to his front.

Afterward, Xia Tianming snapped his fingers, the surrounding darkness gradually dissipated, and the cauldron manifested by the Void Cauldron gradually became transparent until it disappeared.

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian were overjoyed and in tears seeing both of them come out unscathed.

Although they couldn't see what happened inside the Void World, they could clearly hear Liao Changfei's pleas for mercy.

"Father, you did it, you not only returned to the Martial Sovereign Realm but also took down Liao Changfei who was eight realms above you!"

"But... twenty years ago, you were just an ordinary person in the Martial King Realm, without an Emperor Body or cultivation resources, with nothing at all, yet you faked your death and lay low for twenty-three years, suddenly becoming a Martial Sovereign. It's just too..."

Xia Naiwen was extremely excited but also filled with inexplicable doubt.

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng felt a belated, earth-shattering wave inside.

Indeed, in just twenty-three years, Grandpa managed to cultivate to the Martial Sovereign Realm with a mortal body; how was this possible?

Could it be that Grandpa also possesses a Dream Realm Pearl?

Xia Tianming shook his head, glanced towards the City Lord's Mansion, and said softly, "Let's go home first; we'll talk at home."

After Liao Changfei died, the Blood Moon Domain that had manifested in the sky immediately disappeared, and the residents of Xingyu City finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Xia Tianming began revealing to Xia Feng and Xia Naiwen the secret behind his faking death, bit by bit.

In truth, since the Zhan Tian Dynasty was annihilated, Xia Tianming was forced into exile to this Xingyu City, where the Spiritual Qi was sparse and resources were scarce.

But in the third year of his arrival in Xingyu City, he accidentally discovered that the spatial elements here seemed somewhat different.

Xia Tianming himself practiced the Great Dao of Space. Although his realm was gone, his experience and intuition remained.

To avoid the eyes and ears arranged by Xia Tianming, he purposely relocated the City Lord's Mansion to its current position by the middle wall.

The room he stayed in was the place with the most spatial fluctuations.

Every night, Xia Tianming would sit cross-legged, relying on his residual Power of the Great Dao of Space, continuously exploring the peculiar spatial fluctuations.

As a former Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, his intuition told him that Xingyu City definitely harbored an earth-shattering secret!

He practiced day after day for an entire year.

After a year, one evening, Xia Tianming finally pinpointed the source of the spatial fluctuations!

Overjoyed, he didn't lose his sanity.

He pondered the situation for a long time, aware that Xia Tianming's arranged sentries were lurking; if he opened this spatial node, they would probably suppress him immediately.

Hence, a plan to fake his death slowly formed in his mind.

Half a year later, prepared with the Substitute Tribulation Guwa, he successfully created the illusion of being gravely injured and steadily weakening in the eyes of the public.

On his supposed deathbed, he deliberately left Xia Naiwen a Jade Scroll imprinted with a trace of his spatial aura, telling him it was a last-resort life-saving tool.

Finally, on a night when he coughed up blood with superb acting, he fooled his son, daughter-in-law, and the three sentries arranged by Xia Tianming.

After Xia Naiwen buried the Substitute Tribulation Guwa, those sentries gradually dwindled in number.

From initially three, to one a year later, and none by the second year.

These people probably received orders from the Emperor's Lineage, deeming the Xia Family no longer worth monitoring, so they withdrew.

Having waited for so long, Xia Tianming finally had the opportunity to open the spatial node.

On the day he opened the spatial node, he carefully chose a stormy day to minimize attention.

Subsequently, upon opening the spatial node, he stepped into a void.

Within that void, besides a large purple cauldron placed at the center, there was nothing else.

With keen eyesight, Xia Tianming immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of the cauldron, judging by the Void fluctuations and aura it emitted, it was dozens of times stronger than the Upper Grade Emperor Weapon he used to wield!

Even a Top Grade Emperor Weapon wouldn't have such fluctuations!

Xia Tianming was ecstatic, knowing he had stumbled upon a great fortune!

In other words, this was very likely a Divine Weapon!

At that moment, he was overwhelmed with excitement, tears streaming down his face, thinking the heavens had blocked all his paths only to leave him a window at the last moment.
