By this time, more and more gazes were cast from the direction of the Imperial City Palace.

Eleven Martial Sovereigns besieging Xia Tianming, yet being beaten to this state, Xia Tianming's monstrous talent was once again laid bare.

"These wasteful idiots, they're almost at their limit..."

Xia Naiwu had sharp eyes, he could see that the Martial Sovereigns from Lingxiao Pavilion were already showing signs of hesitation.

Most of those obeying him were Yellow Tier and Profound Tier Martial Sovereigns, but these people couldn't pose any threat to Xia Tianming at all.

Looking at the panting Meng Jiang and Ma Kai, they couldn't stop the breakthrough of the Martial Sovereign Xia Tianming anymore.

If this continued, Xia Tianming's victory was only a matter of time.

He gritted his teeth hard and stopped hesitating. He transformed into a meteor and charged fiercely toward a direction in the Imperial Palace.

Xia Tianming glanced at him slightly, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Seeing Xia Naiwu leave, the Martial Sovereigns of Lingxiao Pavilion lost their morale instantly.

Just as Xia Tianming had said, he only dealt with the Emperor's Lineage with whom he had deep enmity; these ordinary Martial Sovereigns, why should they die in vain?

They also knew what Xia Naiwu went to do.

But at most, Emperor Xia would punish them, he wouldn't actually kill them.

But continuing to be against Xia Tianming, there was a real risk of falling!

The first Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign quickly soared up, distancing himself from the battlefield.

Where there was one, there was another. These Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Sovereigns, who did not belong to Emperor Xia, began to slowly approach the edge of the battlefield, then walked away.

"You bastards, the Emperor's son has already gone to call Emperor Xia, and you choose to flee at this moment?!"

Meng Jiang, while engaging in close combat with Xia Tianming, shouted furiously, looking up.

"Sorry, Lord Meng, we have no major grievance with the former Emperor's son, we just won't take the benefits promised by him."

The Martial Sovereigns who flew out from the battlefield chose not to take sides.

Having cultivated to this realm and lived for thousands of years, everyone was shrewd.

"Meng Jiang, if it's not possible, surrender. The former Emperor's son is magnanimous, he might spare your life!"

Having witnessed Xia Tianming's terrifying power, Ma Kai also chose to give up the fight.

When leaving, he couldn't help but advise Meng Jiang.

Meng Jiang ignored him and continued fighting Xia Tianming to the death with eyes red.

There were things others didn't know, but he knew better than anyone else.

The Martial Sovereigns of the Emperor's Lineage and Xia Tianming were a matter of life and death; there was no notion of surrendering for survival!

From the very beginning, when Xia Tianming's Emperor Body was stripped away by a poisonous plot, they were the biggest instigators!

He still remembered those eyes filled with rage and hatred sweeping past each one of them as Xia Tianming's Emperor Body was taken.

So, there was no way he could surrender!

Fighting to the death might be the only chance of survival!

...

Xia Naiwu had hurriedly arrived at the Cultivation Blessed Land of the Great Xia Empire, in front of the Qingxin Nine Cave.

He knelt on one knee at a cave, then pressed his head hard against the ground, circulating spiritual power to call out to the presence within.

After three breaths, an ancient voice slowly emerged.

"I have told you before, do not disturb my seclusion unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Father, something major has happened!"

Hearing the voice, Xia Naiwu's breath suddenly became heavy, and he prostrated his entire body, saying: "Xia Tianming did not die. Not only has he come back to life, but he also broke through to become an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign!"

"Currently, he is in front of the Imperial Palace, fighting with the eleven Martial Sovereigns of Lingxiao Pavilion, but even with their combined forces, they cannot withstand him!"

"He stated that he returned this time to challenge you for the throne as per the ancestral decree!"

Xia Naiwu quickly relayed a string of words, each one causing the figure inside the cave to tremble incessantly.

Silence.

A deadly silence.

Then, the ancient voice sounded again, lacking its former calm, replaced by a kind of oppression like before a storm.

"Are you saying Xia Tianming has come back to life?"

"And he broke through to become an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, defeating eleven Martial Sovereigns?"

"Absolutely true, otherwise, I wouldn't dare disturb you during your seclusion, Father!"

Xia Naiwu clasped his fists and gritted his teeth.

"So, it's a fake death... Haha, hahaha!"

The voice inside the cave suddenly changed, becoming extremely bloodthirsty and excited.

Even Emperor's son Xia Naiwu couldn't help but shiver upon hearing this voice, but at the same time, he felt relieved inside.

He knew his father's nature too well.

Emperor Xia of the Great Xia Empire, a king carrying another's Emperor Body, deeply sinister and violent at heart.

His wild laughter and excitement stemmed from completely disregarding Xia Tianming.

He was thrilled, thrilled for another chance to personally strike down that Xia Tianming, who had shone brilliantly under everyone's eyes since childhood.

"To challenge the throne, to challenge the throne, how wonderful it is!"

"In the past, considering the ancestral decree, I didn't kill him outright, enraging me thinking of him dying old in Xingyu City!"

"But he didn't die, and he comes back to compete for the throne!"

"I finally have the opportunity to torture and kill you personally, Xia Tianming!"

Summer Tianming laughed insanely, driven mad.

Then, an extremely terrifying aura erupted within the cave, with a blood-red glow expanding, shocking everyone around.

And upon sensing this aura, Xia Naiwu also couldn't contain his joy inside.

Father has broken through!

This is the pressure of the Earth Tier Seventh Layer!

Xia Tianming could forcibly withstand Meng Jiang's elevation to the Fourth Layer, but if facing Xia Tianming, sixth realm higher with the same cultivation of Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart, how could he handle it?

Only death awaits!

If it were still the same Fifth Layer cultivation, Xia Naiwu might've been worried, but with Xia Tianming breaking through to the Seventh Layer, he's crossed that major hurdle.

He has become a true high-realm Earth Tier Martial Sovereign!

A blood-red pillar of light shot to the sky, drawing the gazes of the ten Dao in the Dragon Hall.

"Has it broken through to Earth Tier Seventh Layer?"

"Xia Tianming's talent may be monstrous, but he's still a First Layer Earth Tier Martial Sovereign. It seems this time the winner is decided."

"Not necessarily?"

"For Xia Tianming to choose this time to seek him out, there must be something he's relying on, which he hasn't revealed yet."

"Then it will be interesting, the battle for the Emperor's son fifty years ago still has a sequel."

"Let's wait and see who in the Great Xia Empire is truly fit to be the contemporary Emperor Xia."

"..."

Xia Tianming withdrew the Qingxue Sword, Li Faxing was already collapsed on the ground, with seven or eight more sword wounds on his chest.

His pupils were completely white, devoid of any life breath.

Even Meng Jiang, the time of using essence blood to elevate his realm's secret technique had passed. Reverting to his Third Layer Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, he was extremely weakened and lost the capital to continue contending Xia Tianming.

At this moment, he was grabbed by Xia Tianming by the neck with one hand, held up in the air like a dead dog.
