After a long, long time, Dongfang Le'an finally awoke from his dream.

When he opened his eyes, a clear consciousness instantly arrived, and he realized that everything that had happened before was just a dream.

"This dream really..."

A shadow crossed Dongfang Le'an's eyes, and then he clenched his jaw tightly, looking as if he wanted to devour someone. Although it was a dream, whenever he closed his eyes, those images would float before him.

"Damn this wretched dream!"

Dongfang Le'an immediately cursed loudly, remembering those days of humiliation, struggling to survive under Xia Feng's hand, and even calling him 'father'.

Those difficult memories made him feel like he wanted to die.

"Whoosh!"

Space rippled, and Dongfang Le'an instantly disappeared from where he was.

Likewise, early the next morning, Xiao Qingxue had already risen and prepared Xia Feng's bed.

She wore simple clothing and stood together with Qi Anna.

Her beautiful eyes reflected Xia Feng's figure, slowly growing misty as emotions of reluctance surged forth.

"Xiao Xue, it's time to leave."

Qi Anna looked coldly at the people of the Great Xia Empire, not regarding them as equals at all.

Xiao Qingxue nodded gently, then took two steps forward to give Xia Feng a tight hug, before turning to walk toward Qi Anna.

"Xiao Xue, wait for me."

Xia Feng showed a determined expression, speaking earnestly to Xiao Qingxue.

Xiao Qingxue's little head nodded quickly, while Qi Anna's expression remained one of disdain.

A mere mortal from the Lower Realm, deluded enough to think he could take the Divine King's daughter from the Divine Domain—classic frog in a well.

Even if he truly became a Martial God, by the time he reached the Divine Domain, he should realize how ignorant and laughable his words were.

Qi Anna held Xiao Qingxue's small hand, then transformed into a stream of light that soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the shooting star vanished completely without a trace.

Xia Feng lifted his head, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Originally ten people, now one was missing.

These were his dearest loved ones.

After a moment of daze, Xia Feng withdrew his gaze, preparing to turn and walk into the Imperial Capital.

At this moment, a figure burst out again.

Dongfang Le'an wore an expression of ecstasy, hovering in the air, once again assuming that commanding stance, laughing skyward.

"Hahaha, Xia Feng, now that Qi Anna from the Life Divine Domain has left, let's see who can protect you now!"

As Dongfang Le'an appeared, everyone in the Great Xia Empire's complexion changed.

Is this catastrophe ultimately unavoidable?

"Are you mad? Our Great Xia Empire's bride is the daughter of the Life Divine Domain's Divine King, and you still dare cause trouble!"

At this critical moment, Xia Qingyang was the first to charge out, feigning anger and shouting at Dongfang Le'an in the sky.

"Pulling the tiger's skin to pull a big banner with me?" Dongfang Le'an sneered, then slapped forcefully across the air.

"Smack!"

A tremendous force exploded on Xia Qingyang's face, sending him flying over ten meters, crashing heavily to the ground.

The blow didn't kill Xia Qingyang, but it did ruin half of his face, leaving him in a terrifying state.

That was Dongfang Le'an deliberately holding back, otherwise, Xia Qingyang would have turned to dust.

More than killing, he wanted to humiliate, just as he had been treated countless times before.

"Boasting without seeing yourself in the mirror first!" Dongfang Le'an cursed from above, "These Lower Realm ants dare to cling to the Divine Domain?"

"You ants, in my Eastern Divine Domain, would only be the most marginal slaves!"

"Spit, really think you're something!"

Dongfang Le'an spat toward the ground, then drew a long spear from his waist, holding it high in his hand.

The divine might descended, and everyone felt a terrifying threat.

Now that Qi Anna was gone, there truly was no one to restrain Dongfang Le'an, the Martial God.

"Is the conclusion of my Great Xia Empire... to be like this?"

Xia Qingyang laughed bitterly, tears flowing uncontrollably.

The other past Emperors Xia also appeared to be in despair, some even dropping their weapons to the ground, kneeling with empty eyes.

The wrath of a Martial God, unstoppable.

With Qi Anna gone, their fate seemed sealed.

Dongfang Le'an's strike was without reservation, this spear would not only obliterate them but five hundred kilometers of land around the Imperial Capital.

Just as everyone was in utter despair, awaiting the Death God, a figure stomped the ground and leaped into the sky.

"Dongfang Le'an, have you forgotten your beatings and come to provoke your father, courting death?!"

Xia Feng, full of fury, shouted thunderously before everyone in the Great Xia Empire.

Countless people looked up in shock, unable to believe their eyes as they gazed at Xia Feng in the sky.

Including all the past Emperors Xia, they all widened their eyes, completely confused as to what Xia Feng was doing.

That was a Martial God, yet Xia Feng dared to insult him!

"Ancestor, has Xia Feng gone mad?"

The fourteenth Emperor Xia swallowed, shocked, and asked Xia Haiwei beside him.

"Don't ask me, I have no idea!" Xia Haiwei impatiently slammed his giant axe into the ground, sparking a burst of flames.

Not just the fourteenth Emperor Xia, Xia Haiwei was equally at a loss.

Over the years, he always thought himself the rashest, but when the moment came, Xia Feng turned out to be even more reckless!

"What good is it to gain some verbal advantage before dying?" Xia Donghai couldn't help but shake his head, sighing, "In the end, it's just a more brutal death."

Despair filled everyone's hearts, not believing Xia Feng alone could resolve this crisis.

But a strange thing happened.

The long spear held high could not come down, a minute passed, and as people slowly looked up, they found Dongfang Le'an's entire expression had changed.

The former arrogance was gone, under Xia Feng's cold gaze, he appeared terrified, even trembling uncontrollably.

It was the aftereffect of a million years of daily torment, something Dongfang Le'an thought he had forgotten, just a mere dream.

But seeing this demon god who tortured him day and night appear before him with the same eyes, the same words.

Painful memories surged forth, causing Dongfang Le'an's Dao heart to tremble violently.

Blades, spikes, beatings, humiliation...

The scenes of Xia Feng's endless torment over the millennia flashed in his mind, crumbling the defenses he had barely built.
