"He's already dead."

"His mouth was tight; he refused to reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact, so I sent him where he belongs."

In an instant, the entire Great Xia Empire was stunned.

Xia Qingyang, Xia Haiwei, successive Emperors Xia, Xia Naiwu, and Xia Feng...

Everyone's minds felt like they had been struck by lightning, completely unable to process what had happened.

"Grandfather... is dead?"

Xia Feng lowered his head, unable to resist murmuring.

"Yes, if you know the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact, quickly present it to me, otherwise don't blame me for washing your Great Xia Empire in blood today."

Dongfang Le'an was domineering, as if he truly considered himself a god, a ruler.

The entire Great Xia Empire was merely his toy, vulnerable to his whims.

"There is no Divine Artifact here..."

Xia Feng raised his head, his eyes already red, and disbelief mingled with tearful mist emerged in them.

"We don't have the Divine Artifact you're searching for, you've come to the wrong place!"

"Still stubborn, are you?!"

Seeing Xia Feng in this manner, the fire within Dongfang Le'an flared up again; he raised his right hand, and horrifying Wind Blades gathered in his palm.

The aura of destruction filled the air—this attack far surpassed the power of a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign. It was the power of a god.

"You refuse to talk, is that it? Since none of you are willing to speak, don't blame me for being brutal."

Dongfang Le'an didn't regard Xia Feng and the others as humans. His gaze was emotionless, as if watching a herd of livestock.

"Xia Feng, is there really a Divine Artifact?! Quickly tell Lord Divine Envoy!"

At this critical moment for the empire, Xia Qingyang also changed.

He clenched his teeth before suddenly questioning Xia Feng.

Not only him, but the other Emperors Xia also cast questioning gazes toward Xia Feng.

The fate of the empire rested entirely on Xia Feng!

Dongfang Le'an's lips curled; he seemed to understand on whom the key question hinged.

Xia Feng, feeling the eyes upon him, gritted his teeth tightly, recalling the task Xia Tianming entrusted to him and his parents, with whom he once lived in Xingyu City.

"I've already said, we don't have the Divine Artifact you're seeking here!" Xia Feng, with eyes red from anger, replied coldly as he raised his head.

"If you're seeking a flimsy excuse to destroy the Great Xia Empire, that's outright embarrassing!"

"Heh."

Dongfang Le'an couldn't help but mock, "An excuse? Do I, Dongfang Le'an, need an excuse to wipe out a mundane empire?"

"Boring, absolutely boring. After I utterly destroy your Great Xia Empire, I'll find this Divine Artifact myself!"

The next moment, Dongfang Le'an swung his hand, and the Wind Blade, filled with storm energy, suddenly expanded immensely before darting straight toward Xia Feng!

Everyone looked up at the Wind Blade, their faces filled with terror.

It was a power beyond human capability; none of the successive Emperors Xia dared to intercept it.

Xia Feng stood there coldly, watching the Wind Blade charging at him without moving, almost ready to accept his fate.

This gesture made Dongfang Le'an squint slightly, and just as the Wind Blade was about to touch Xia Feng, he moved his right hand and dissipated it.

"You're really not afraid to die?" Dongfang Le'an squinted at Xia Feng.

"It's not that I don't fear death; I know you wouldn't dare kill me."

Seeing Dongfang Le'an halt his action, Xia Feng couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed he hadn't made the wrong move.

When everyone thought Xia Feng knew the news, even if Dongfang Le'an were foolish, he wouldn't kill him easily.

His claim to destroy the Great Xia Empire to find it himself was utterly absurd.

The Great Xia Empire was vast; neither a single Martial God nor ten others could easily discover the hidden Divine Artifact on such extensive lands.

Otherwise, Xia Tianming wouldn't have found the Divine Artifact in Xingyu City's small space.

Xia Feng wouldn't have obtained the Purple Gold Cauldron in God Burial Valley.

If finding the Divine Artifact were so easy for the Martial God, why remain cultivating in the Divine Domain?

They might as well all go out and hunt for the Divine Artifact!

"Just like your grandfather." Dongfang Le'an shook his head, covering his forehead.

But then, he raised his left hand again.

This time, he didn't gather that terrifying Wind Blade.

Instead, above the Great Xia Empire, a massive palm suddenly appeared.

"You may not care if you die, but surely there's someone you care about in this Imperial Capital, right?" Dongfang Le'an sneered like a demon, "With one move, I can destroy the entire Imperial Capital, including all lives within it."

"I'll ask you one last time: Are you sure you don't know where Xia Tianming's Divine Artifact is?"

The gigantic palm hovered in the air, tightening everyone's hearts.

Xia Feng couldn't help but swallow hard, having never expected a Yellow Tier Martial God to commit such a vile act.

"Choose to hand over the Divine Artifact or have the entire Imperial Capital accompany you to the grave," Dongfang Le'an said coldly, "I give you three seconds."

"Three."

Xia Feng remained silent, his expression conflicted.

"Two."

Xia Feng raised his head to look at Dongfang Le'an, a boundless fury burning within.

"One."

Xia Feng had already gathered all the Spiritual Qi, and the ten women behind him activated the Ten Extremes Array.

Ten Dao of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth appeared behind Xia Feng, glowing brilliantly!

"You're thinking of competing with a Martial God?!"

Seeing Xia Feng's choice, Dongfang Le'an became furious; in the final second, he switched from a strike to a grip, fiercely clenching towards Xia Feng!

Forget his grandfather, who had at least achieved Martial God status; but Xia Feng was just a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign—what right did he have?

Dongfang Le'an was truly enraged, the Great Xia Empire had to be destroyed, but before that, this insolent child needed a severe lesson!

"Crush him for me!"

The huge palm hurtled towards Xia Feng, his face twisted in fury, roaring as 490 Heaven and Earth Rules erupted along with the Ten Extremes Array of the ten women, unleashing significant power!

The 490 Great Dao of Heaven and Earth converged, unleashing formidable power.

At this moment, Xia Feng had surpassed Xia Qingyang's realm, and his attack had ascended to a different level.

This even made Dongfang Le'an frown.

"Boom!"

As the two clashed in the air, everyone's hearts hung high, anxiously watching Xia Feng above.

Can Xia Feng withstand the Martial God's strike?

For a moment, the color of the sky changed.

A powerful shockwave spread all around, Xia Feng's shirt burst open, and blood poured from his body as he tumbled to the ground, coughing up large amounts of blood.

Just taking this blow resulted in severe injuries.

Yet, Dongfang Le'an's strike was endured.

With the poise of a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign, he forcibly took the Martial God's move.

Although Dongfang Le'an didn't use his full strength, it was enough to astonish everyone!
