The second Cyan Emperor roared in anger: "Who the hell is spouting nonsense?! If it wasn't for that brat causing trouble, how could Yun Zhonghe let the tribulation descend upon himself!"

"You and I are both Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns, we know what that threshold means to us. Would you commit suicide without a good reason?"

Facing the roar of the second Cyan Emperor, Xia Qingyang touched his nose. Although he wanted to curse back, the other party's reasoning indeed left him at a loss for a rebuttal.

He knew that this matter was somewhat related to Xia Feng, but he truly didn't know how Xia Feng managed it.

After all, an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign interfering with a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign undergoing a Divine Tribulation sounds bizarre in any case.

So, after a moment of silence, Xia Qingyang responded with a cold smile: "Talking is easy, but do you have any proof?"

"You spout baseless claims, I could also say it was you who harbored ill intentions toward Yun Zhonghe and secretly tried to harm him!"

"You!" The second Cyan Emperor didn't expect Xia Qingyang to be so shameless, instantly infuriating him.

He suddenly exerted force, and with a shifted stance, slashed several times towards Xia Qingyang, each strike caused space to fragment, echoing with great booms!

Though those moves were fierce, they were insufficient to harm Xia Qingyang, as both were Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns, and Xia Qingyang's strength was slightly superior.

After dodging these strikes, Xia Qingyang re-engaged in combat with him.

Below, Xia Feng surveyed the empty surroundings, then lifted his head.

With cold killing intent in his eyes, he leapt up, while ten women, understanding his intent, began to sit cross-legged, channeling spiritual Qi from the Ten Extremes Array into Xia Feng's body wholeheartedly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Flying into the air, his realm rapidly elevated, soon reaching the Celestial Tier Sixth Layer Martial Sovereign!

As the ten women's realm increased, the augmentation they provided expanded considerably.

Originally, Rizhao Empire had one less Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign than the Great Xia Empire, now with Xia Feng joining, the balance in the sky shifted drastically.

The other Martial Sovereigns of Great Xia Empire chose not to participate in this level of battle due to their lower realms, fearing even the shockwaves alone could severely injure them, let alone direct combat.

Though they lacked the qualifications to join the fight, sheer numbers enabled them to take turns launching surprise attacks.

Like ants overwhelming an elephant, the Martial Sovereigns of Great Xia Empire consistently launched long-range attacks at the lowest realm current Cyan Emperor, causing him to grimace and contort his face.

Frustrated, the current Cyan Emperor repeatedly attempted to descend and kill, yet was firmly restrained by adversarial Emperor Xia's predecessors.

"Wretched fools, usually I could kill you all with one hand!"

The current Cyan Emperor's impotent rage only elicited disdain and eye rolls.

The Martial Sovereigns of Lingxiao Pavilion also considered, had this old fool not been restrained, they wouldn't bother toying with him.

Although they acknowledged the power of Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns, all possessed intellect, unlike the enraged and ranting Yun Changlin.

The current Cyan Emperor fought disgracefully, several times attempting to utilize the Demonization Technique.

Yet, Yun Changlin hesitated; Demonization could elevate him to a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign's level, but he no longer had excess opportunities.

This Demonization Technique wasn't passed down by Rizhao Empire, but discovered by him one day in a concealed small world within the Imperial Palace.

Just as it was for Xia Tianming, this world constantly offers unforeseen chances and inheritances, quietly awaiting those who will uncover them.

Upon acquiring this inheritance, Yun Changlin was ecstatic, knowing it wasn't from a mere Martial Sovereign.

In other words, it was a Martial God-level legacy.

Through Demonization, one could temporarily gain immense strength, with the sole cost being overusage leading to total loss of sanity, becoming a demon.

This power, wherever placed, was exceedingly nefarious, even a Martial God's legacy likely belonged to a Demon God.

Thus, Yun Changlin never disclosed this matter to past Cyan Emperors, conducting personal experiments instead.

During testing, he utilized it twice, leaving only one Demonization chance remaining.

The extreme power comes with the cost of descending into madness, becoming a bloodthirsty demon.

The trials weren't without advantages; Yun Changlin harnessed spiritual power after Demonization to produce Demon Crystal—the material enabling rapid Demonization and bearing more demon seed power.

Should I use it?

The current Cyan Emperor was deeply conflicted.

At present, he indeed required power capable of overturning everything.

Yet, he didn't want to die.

Utilizing Demonization the last time meant total demon seed infestation, complete personality destruction.

He had fought against the fourteenth Emperor Xia for so long, with his empire in decline, yet refrained from choosing Demonization.

While Yun Changlin struggled with indecision, Xia Feng had swiftly and deftly maneuvered behind another Celestial Tier Sixth Layer Martial Sovereign Cyan Emperor.

"Ancestor, let me assist you!"

Xia Feng shouted, then abruptly raised the Qingxue Sword high, a sharp beam of sword light cleaving from above as if to rend the heavens and earth.

The thirteenth Emperor Xia's eyes sharpened fiercely, he roared immediately, his form towering like a mountain.

The Cyan Emperor leaped instinctively attempting to evade the terrifying sword light.

The thirteenth Emperor Xia swung a gigantic hand from another direction to strike heavily!

With overwhelming momentum, if hit by this strike, surely he'd be pulverized.

The seventh Cyan Emperor's breath became urgent, on one side lay Xia Feng's terrifying sword aura, the other a colossal hand; evading one meant facing the other!

Seeing the attacks approach, a cold light flashed in the seventh Cyan Emperor's eyes.

A choice had to be made!

"I refuse to believe a reckless youth, not even Earth Tier, could dare defy heavens!"

The Seventh Cyan Emperor finally decided, turning mid-air to bypass the thirteenth Emperor Xia's gigantic hand, subsequently lifting his Long Halberd to counter the sword aura directly!

Immediately, the sky burst into radiant brightness, the seventh Cyan Emperor clenched his teeth and strained to resist Xia Feng's sword aura.

In his view, the thirteenth Emperor Xia was a long-established veteran, possessing slightly superior strength.

Rather than confronting his move, it was preferable to withstand this brat Xia Feng.

An Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, even through secret technique elevation, couldn't possibly possess the ability to kill him!

Regrettably, this belief was disproven the moment after.

Upon meeting the sword aura, the seventh Cyan Emperor paused, realizing the aura dissipated immediately after an initial resistance.

He hadn't yet reacted when, in the next moment an incisive sword pierced through his chest.

"You…"

The Seventh Cyan Emperor looked down at his chest, disbelief twisting his gaze toward Xia Feng.
