In addition to Martial Sovereigns, the Rizhao Empire also has many direct bloodlines.

The fourteenth Emperor Xia was not just a pedant; he understood the principle of eradicating the roots when cutting down the weeds.

In one night, the imperial bloodline of Rizhao Empire was slaughtered by the fourteenth Emperor Xia with his men, eliminating the final threat.

Assimilating a vast empire takes a long time, and after completing everything, Xia Feng finally had some leisure.

The threat of the Rizhao Empire was removed, but Xia Tianming's condition remained unknown.

"Alas, I don't know what's happening on Grandpa's side." Xia Feng, holding Siya, looked up at the sky with a face full of worry.

Siya's smooth, beautiful back was like silk, her face showing a satisfied blush as she gently placed her hand on Xia Feng's chest, scratching lightly.

"Believe in Grandpa; he has created so many miracles in his lifetime. I have a feeling," Siya breathed on Xia Feng's face, "that even in the Infinite Divine Domain, Grandpa will surely make it through."

"I hope so." Xia Feng responded with a hum, then lightly lowered his head to touch Siya's red lips.

As night fell.

Xia Feng used the Dream Realm Pearl to once again cultivate with the ten women and his parents.

He had an intense desire to become stronger; the Martial Sovereign Realm was no longer enough for him.

Only by becoming a Martial God could he bring Xia Tianming back.

Like dreaming of a thousand years.

A month was thirty thousand years.

In these thirty thousand years of cultivation, Xia Feng's realm advanced by leaps and bounds, soaring from an Earth Tier Eighth Layer Martial Sovereign to a Celestial Tier Seventh Layer Martial Sovereign.

The realms of the Ten Great Saintesses also broke through to Celestial Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign.

After all, they could only practice once every other day, resulting in much lower efficiency.

In these thirty thousand years, Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian each made breakthroughs, one becoming an Earth Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign and the other an Earth Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign.

From Yellow Tier nobodies, they became true experts among the Martial Sovereigns.

Placed in the Lingxiao Pavilion, only the top-ranked Dragon Generals could surpass them.

Xia Naiwen and the others were already quite satisfied with this progress.

A month was a long time, and the Great Xia Empire had nearly absorbed the Rizhao Empire, with its personnel placed in various institutions.

Perhaps it would only take decades or a century to fully assimilate the Rizhao Empire.

This news spread far, reaching even Xia Tianming in the Infinite Divine Domain.

Xia Tianming lay on the cold blue stone tiles, one hand on his forehead, eyes closed and silent.

At this moment, he was imprisoned in a silent and desolate cell, with chains densely entwined in front of it.

His body was covered with numerous scars.

Xia Tianming took a deep breath, handing five Top Grade Dragon Crystals to the jailer outside.

The jailer nodded, sighed after taking the Dragon Crystals.

"Brother Xia, if there really is some secret, you might as well tell them directly."

"The people of the Divine Domain will never stop until they achieve their goals."

"I admire your toughness, but enduring for another thousand or ten thousand years, even your sanity might be worn away, back in our Mingyao Empire..."

"Thanks, Charon." Xia Tianming waved his hand, saying no more.

Charon shook his head, then turned and left the prison.

"Truly formidable, to have pacified the Rizhao Empire, worthy of being my grandson."

Xia Tianming couldn't help but smile, then he sat up, focusing his mind and calming his breath.

Today marked the third month since he arrived in the Infinite Divine Domain.

The thing Xia Tianming feared most had indeed happened.

The Infinite Divine Domain figured that a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign couldn't have possibly slain the Blood Dragon, deducing that Xia Tianming was aided by a Divine Artifact.

To obtain information about the Divine Artifact, they had subjected Xia Tianming to various tortures relentlessly during this time.

Yet Xia Tianming remained resolute, no matter how they treated him, he gritted his teeth and never gave in!

Compared to the Divine Artifact, a Martial Artist just entering the Divine Realm was insignificant; Xia Tianming knew well that once he revealed the artifact's location, it would be the day of his death.

This torture created an irreconcilable conflict between Xia Tianming and the Infinite Divine Domain, both sides were aware of this fact.

Though being tortured, Xia Tianming did not slacken his conversion of Spiritual Power.

In three months, his Spiritual Power had dried up, Divine Power surged inside, and only the ignition of Divine Fire was needed to become a true Martial God.

He took a deep breath and began to ignite the fire within.

A minute, ten minutes.

If anyone were present, they could see that Xia Tianming's entire body emitted a bizarre purple flame.

This was his Great Dao of Space; as long as the flame engulfed his body, breaking through the Spirit Platform, the Divine Fire would be achieved.

Xia Tianming's talent was undeniable, gradually, he could clearly feel Divine Power flowing into his limbs and meridians.

In a morning's time, Xia Tianming had converted ninety percent; where there had been flow of Spiritual Power, now there was purely Divine Power.

"Only the last step left, faster, a little faster..."

Xia Tianming calculated the time, feeling a bit anxious internally.

He had two hours left; usually, by this time, the people from the Infinite Divine Domain would take him for interrogation.

If discovered before the Divine Fire formation, Xia Tianming wouldn't have the chance to ignite it again!

An hour, an hour and a half.

Xia Tianming was drenched in sweat, the purple flame was just a step away from the Spirit Platform, spreading upwards slowly.

"Just a bit more!"

Xia Tianming opened his eyes, bloodshot, filled with extreme tension.

He hoped for the people of the Infinite Divine Domain to arrive a little later this time.

Never had Xia Tianming wished for anything as much before.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Xia Tianming suddenly heard the clanking sound of chains from outside.

Damn it, they came early!

Xia Tianming's eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, the Infinite Divine Domain people arrived not only on time, but ten minutes early this time.

Hearing the approaching sounds, Xia Tianming forced himself to stay calm.

He took a deep breath, urging the purple flame to grow faster.

The last centimeter.

Faster, just a bit faster.

"Boom!" A fierce Divine Envoy kicked fiercely at the cage imprisoning Xia Tianming.

"Go on, keep being stubborn; today I've come up with a unique punishment, you'll get to try something new!" the Divine Envoy laughed cruelly.

Xia Tianming stood up from sitting, slowly raised his head, looking at the Divine Envoy without a word.

The Divine Envoy snorted, opening the cell door and dragging Xia Tianming out.

Xia Tianming stumbled forward under his push.

But no one saw Xia Tianming's raised corners of his mouth and fierce glance as he bowed his head walking.

The Divine Fire had ignited.

Xia Tianming finally became a true Martial God!

Yellow Tier First Layer Martial God!

Reaching Martial God was a different level entirely, no matter how many Martial Sovereigns or how strong they were, they were nothing more than ants before a Martial God.
