As the two masses of light met and devoured each other, Xia Qingyang directly leapt over them, closing the distance to Xia Tianming at the fastest speed.

Xia Tianming's expression was serious, Xia Qingyang's speed was too fast, and at this moment he was already too late to unleash the third sound.

Xia Qingyang, worthy of being Emperor Xia with the richest combat experience, even while enduring the aftermath of the explosion, aimed to reach Xia Tianming's side first.

Only this way could he prevent Xia Tianming from continuing to use the Void Cauldron to attack.

The true power of a Divine Artifact should not be underestimated, and merely the second sound had already posed a considerable challenge for him. If Xia Tianming continued to unleash the third or fourth sound, he would be thrown into a real disadvantage with no hope of turning the tide!

"Xia Tianming, hand over the Void Cauldron!"

Xia Qingyang roared furiously, slashing madly with the blade before Xia Tianming.

Xia Tianming frowned, presenting the Void Cauldron in front of him to withstand Xia Qingyang's attacks.

"Ancestor, if you truly want the Divine Artifact, then defeat me!"

Even though engaged in close combat, Xia Tianming did not show the slightest hint of panic on his face.

After breaking through to the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, the true power of the Void Cauldron slowly began to reveal itself.

In the past, he used the Void Cauldron with great awkwardness, often exerting maximum force yet achieving minimal effect.

But after gathering fifty Great Dao rules, Xia Tianming wielded the Void Cauldron once again, and immediately found it much more manageable.

Space and void, their essences are one.

As the master of the Void Cauldron, Xia Tianming even resonated with the Great Dao of Void, and while mastering the Great Dao of Space, he also comprehended nearly ten rules of the Great Dao of Void!

"Damn it, is that turtle shell all you rely on?!"

Every time Xia Qingyang exhausted himself to slash, the Void Cauldron perfectly blocked it, which made him both furious and angry.

In terms of both realm and strength, he exceeded Xia Tianming by quite a margin, yet he couldn't hurt him!

The vibrations transmitted back from the blade even caused slight cracks in his tiger's mouth.

"The Void Cauldron is my weapon. If I were to battle to the death against an external enemy, Ancestor, would you have said such words?"

Xia Tianming responded expressionlessly.

His retort was quite stinging, rendering Xia Qingyang's face flushed and speechless.

"There's no helping it, the power of the Divine Artifact is too strong. Second Uncle probably can't win against him." Xia Haiwei tenaciously watched the two figures inside the Emperor Dragon Platform, then said faintly.

"Both Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns, without a Divine Body, whoever possesses the Divine Artifact stands in an invincible position from the start," the Ninth Xia Emperor also commented.

Although the other Xia Emperors didn't voice it, their thoughts were consistent.

They were acutely aware that if it were them battling Xia Tianming, they too would be helpless.

All of Xia Qingyang's repeated attacks were defended by Xia Tianming. Xia Tianming also relied on the instant teleportation of the Great Dao of Space to continually shift positions.

Each time he drew apart, he struck fiercely on the Void Cauldron, triggering a resounding clear sound.

"Third sound, Broken Yin Yang!"

"Fourth sound, The Shift of the Stars and the Sun and Moon!"

One sound followed another; as Xia Tianming unleashed the third sound, he once again instantaneously teleported to the other side of the Emperor Dragon Platform, delivering another fierce blow!

Two attacks exceeding the Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, even faintly imbued with a demigod's aura, rapidly flew towards Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang's face shifted back and forth, facing the attacks from both sides, even with his experience, he momentarily didn't know how to respond.

Gritting his teeth, Xia Qingyang ultimately chose to stomp the ground fiercely and leap upward!

He soared into the clouds, then hurled his long sword into the sky.

The next second, following his roar, the long sword immediately expanded gigantically, occupying most of the Emperor Dragon Platform!

"Break it for me!"

Xia Qingyang swung his arm downward fiercely, and the giant sword shaped from the Top Grade Emperor Weapon slowly descended, directly aimed at the incoming shockwaves of void.

This move was remarkably similar to Xia Feng's Celestial Punishment Divine Techniques, both enlarging the weapon in hand and then fiercely smashing it down at the enemy.

The only difference would be that the giant sword summoned by Xia Feng was merely a projection of the Qingxue Sword.

Whereas Xia Qingyang genuinely cast the Divine Emperor Weapon with divine characteristics into the sky.

How could a projected blade compare to a substantive blade, especially with Xia Qingyang's divine Emperor Weapon?

After using this move, Xia Qingyang seemed somewhat exhausted, evidently consuming a significant amount of Spiritual Power.

"Ancestor, the fifth sound is coming."

Just as he was about to absorb some Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to recover himself, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Upon hearing this voice, Xia Qingyang's hair stood on end, and he immediately leaped back furiously!

He was so focused on neutralizing those two shockwaves that he had actually forgotten to monitor Xia Tianming's movements.

The most annoying aspect of a Martial Sovereign with the Great Dao of Space was never knowing when they might instantly teleport behind you with a vicious attack!

If he hadn't let his guard down, he could have been aware of the surrounding space fluctuations.

But those shockwaves were so terrifying that Xia Qingyang momentarily overlooked Xia Tianming.

It was in that moment that Xia Tianming seized the opportunity.

As he retreated rapidly in mid-air, Xia Tianming followed close on his heels.

Relative motion is relative stillness.

Xia Tianming reached out, his hand about to strike the Void Cauldron that shimmered with a purple glow.

Xia Qingyang finally lost his temper. He fiercely threw his long sword to the ground, embedding it deeply.

He didn't even have the heart to maintain the venerable image of the oldest Xia Emperor, and he broke into curse words at Xia Tianming.

"Not fighting anymore, damn it! Such bloody torment!"

"Xia Tianming, you little bastard!"

No way to land a hit, no way to throw him off, and all the while having to be cautious of Xia Tianming unleashing a big move with the Void Cauldron.

Even with Xia Qingyang's immense strength, he had no solution to such a rotten strategy.

"Oh?"

Xia Tianming raised his eyebrows, watching the Seventh Xia Emperor discard his weapon, and chuckled lightly.

"So, Ancestor, are you conceding?"

"You have the gall to speak!"

"Hiding behind that shell and occasionally playing dirty tricks, how could the Xia Family produce such a despicable descendant like you!"

Xia Qingyang gritted his teeth, glared at Xia Tianming, then landed on the ground and left the Emperor Dragon Platform.

Seeing Xia Qingyang leave on his own, the crowd instantly erupted into an uproar.

"My heavens, the Seventh Xia Emperor actually conceded? Even he isn't a match for the current Xia Emperor?"

"That Divine Artifact is terrifying, leaving the Seventh Xia Emperor with no solution!"

"I never imagined the strongest Xia Emperor in the Great Xia Empire would be the former Emperor's Son..."

The other Xia Emperors were also quite astonished, but eventually, they could only sigh helplessly.

If even Xia Qingyang couldn't do anything about Xia Tianming, they had even less of a chance.
