Quickly, Xia Feng informed the previous Emperors Xia, who were in seclusion, about Xia Tianming's imminent breakthrough to Martial God.

This news caused an immediate storm among the previous Emperors Xia.

They wondered how Xia Tianming could be on the verge of breaking through to Martial God in less than three months of their closed-door meditation?!

This speed completely shattered their understanding.

Without hesitation, the eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, wielded a giant axe, burst through the ceiling of the entire Dragon Hall, and in almost a single breath, landed in front of Xia Tianming.

"Is he really about to break through?!"

Xia Haiwei's rough voice shouted loudly, his eyes widened like copper bells, constantly scrutinizing Xia Tianming.

"Yes."

Facing this impatient and hot-tempered ancestor, Xia Tianming calmly nodded.

"This, isn't this a bit too fast..."

Xia Haiwei swallowed, seeing that Xia Tianming still seemed a bit unconvinced, he reached out and materialized a power with Divine Charm of the Great Dao of Space.

"Sizzle."

With a light sound, the power of the Great Dao of Space flashed in Xia Tianming's hand, and that trace of Divine Charm was unmistakably genuine.

Xia Haiwei, being a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, could indeed sense the Martial God aura emanating from Xia Tianming.

Undoubtedly genuine!

Not just him, the other nine Xia Emperors who arrived later were also shocked, as if struck by lightning.

"Defying heaven, defying heaven, you're truly defying heaven!!"

The seventh Xia Emperor, Xia Qingyang, almost popped his eyes out, having been comprehending for hundreds of thousands of years but never found the opportunity for a breakthrough.

From birth to now, Xia Tianming seemed to be not even ten thousand years old?

Is this the innate divine talent?!

"Could it be that you're not an Innate Emperor Body, but an Innate Divine Body, and our Great Xia Empire has produced an Innate Divine Body?"

The ninth Xia Emperor let out a strange cry, and then his gaze at Xia Tianming became fiery.

He took a big step to Xia Tianming's side, directly putting an arm around Xia Tianming's shoulder, completely lacking the image of an ancestor.

The ninth Xia Emperor, Xia Yun, smiled slyly, his expression like a lecher seeing a maiden traveling alone.

"Uh, Tianming, am I not your elder?"

"When you become a Martial God in the future, could you take more care of me?"

Xia Yun leaned in, and such intimate behavior made Xia Tianming very uncomfortable, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"You're no elder, I'm still your elder!"

The eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, blew his beard and smacked Xia Yun hard on the back of his head.

"Move aside, Tianming hasn't even broken through yet, and here you are thinking about future matters. Right now, our urgent task is to keep this secret for Tianming and protect him to help him advance!"

The other Xia Emperors also nodded, agreeing with him.

In fact, they held similar thoughts to the ninth Xia Emperor, just not as overt as Xia Yun.

They all had reputations to uphold, though it seemed likely that Xia Tianming would be the first Martial God of the future Great Xia Empire, he hadn't broken through yet.

The best time to build connections would be either after his breakthrough or when no one else is around.

People, especially previous Xia Emperors, needed to maintain their reputation.

Such shamelessness as displayed by the ninth Xia Emperor was indeed rare.

Although most were highly excited and concerned about the potential emergence of a Martial God in the Empire, one person's reaction was entirely different.

The sixteenth Xia Emperor, a Celestial Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign, and Xia Tianming's father, Xia Donghai.

Upon learning of Xia Tianming's impending Martial God breakthrough, he was stunned, almost unable to stand.

"He's about to break through to Martial God, but how is this possible, in such a short time?"

Something seemed to shatter in Xia Donghai's heart, as endless regret and remorse swept over him.

Fifty years ago, he chose to abandon Xia Tianming, allowing Xia Tianming to seize the throne and tacitly accepted everything Xia Tianming did.

Yet fifty years later, the Xia Tianming he abandoned not only regained the throne but was about to break through to Martial God.

His decisions and actions led to the breakdown of their relationship.

At this moment, Xia Donghai felt a chill enveloping his entire body, realizing he was like a clown, a fool unaware of his own folly.

Clearly, the gold was before him, but he chose to pick up a rusty iron heap, kicking the gold away.

Further still, that rust had even betrayed the country for power and status…

Xia Qingyang slightly turned, casting a sidelong glance at Xia Donghai.

After the previous incident, they were all aware of the discord between Xia Tianming and Xia Donghai.

During the struggle for the throne, Xia Tianming publicly stated that he would become a stranger to Xia Donghai.

Although linked by blood, the feelings were gone, and if Xia Donghai had unreasonable thoughts about Xia Tianming's breakthrough to Martial God, Xia Qingyang would not hesitate to take the first move.

Xia Donghai remained motionless, and Xia Tianming directly ignored him, greeting each of the previous Xia Emperors, skipping over Xia Donghai.

Not just him, Xia Feng also ignored this man.

A Celestial Tier Fifth Layer Xia Emperor, once unimaginably distant, but now…

He had already killed Elder Chongwu of Celestial Tier Fifth Layer.

Stripped of the Emperor Body, expelled from the Dynasty, left to die in Xingyu City without concern, and even biased towards Xia Tianming during the throne contest.

Because of all this, Xia Feng had long harbored a murderous intent. If not for being the only remaining bloodline, Xia Donghai's end could only be death.

"Tianming, when do you plan to break through?"

At that moment, Xia Qingyang tapped Xia Tianming's shoulder and asked.

"Tomorrow at noon!"

Xia Tianming's eyes exploded with immense confidence, blurting out.

"Good, good, it seems tomorrow at noon our Great Xia Empire will witness the emergence of a Martial God!"

The eighth Xia Emperor, Xia Haiwei, laughed heartily, slinging the giant axe over his shoulder, as if he could already see the moment Xia Tianming became a Martial God.

"By the way, everyone present must remember, the news of Tianming's breakthrough must not be disclosed to anyone. It's the most significant event for our Empire in hundreds of thousands of years!"

Suddenly, Xia Qingyang's eyes turned extremely cold, scanning everyone without caring that they all bore the Xia surname.

"If I find out anyone leaked the news, causing interference with Tianming's breakthrough, don't blame me for dealing harshly with our own people!"

"Naturally."

The previous Xia Emperors all nodded, except for Xia Donghai, whose expression was extremely unnatural.

He had a feeling Xia Qingyang's words were specifically directed at him.

Quickly, Xia Tianming, having made his plans, began choosing a location for his Martial God breakthrough.

Led by Xia Qingyang, the previous Xia Emperors rose into the air, setting up a barrier above the Imperial Capital to seal all auras.

The Imperial Capital, being at the very center of the Empire, typically faced no threats of attack.

But you never know, and such matters should always be approached with utmost caution.
