Boom!

With those words, the endless flames of Li Huo spread wildly, soaring under Xia Feng's will!

The ten sacred leaders were engulfed by the terrifying Li Huo. Endless pain and despair, compounded by Xia Feng's spiritual assault, caused these high-ranking Celestial Tier Martial Saints to start crumbling one by one.

First their bodies, then their minds, until their Dantian's final sacred spirits were completely turned to ash.

Among them, there were some who attempted to plead with Xia Feng, such as Bai Yanran from the Hehuan Sacred Land. In order to survive, she knelt to the ground, actively begging to become Xia Feng's dual cultivation cauldron, even offering up the entire Hehuan Sect, as long as she could be spared.

But Xia Feng was unmoved. Women were good, but since he already had ten exceptional wives yet to be wed, no other woman could catch his eye!

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the ten sacred leaders died tragically, consumed by flames, perishing in despair and pain.

As for the disciples they brought along, less than one-tenth could escape from Xia Feng's two great domains.

It was believed that the news of the ten sacred leaders perishing at Xia Feng's hands would spread throughout the entire northwest corner within a day.

He was eager to see if that person in the Imperial Capital would be so angry as to stamp his feet upon hearing this news.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng grinned widely.

Even though he had killed the ten sacred leaders, his work was not yet done. Having endured such hardship, not rewarding himself with some nice things was not his style.

Thus, Xia Feng, following the recent route of the northwest corner, began to sweep from north to south.

Starting with the Eighth Level Sacred Land, all the resources inside the Sacred Land would become part of his storage ring!

...

Three days later.

"Master Emperor's Son, all ten Upper Grade Sects in the northwest corner have been wiped out. As far as I know, it's all Xia Feng's doing."

A shadow knelt before Xia Naiwu, bowing his head, reporting the shocking news to the man in front of him.

"He can, single-handedly, eradicate the ten Upper Grade Sects?" Xia Naiwu slowly stepped down, standing before the shadow, his eyes showing seriousness for the first time.

"Reporting to Master Emperor's Son, according to the surviving disciples of the ten Sacred Lands, Xia Feng has cultivated the ten elements, mastering a total of four hundred and ninety elemental rules, with power comparable to a Half-Emperor."

"Those Upper Grade Saint Masters were just some Celestial Tier Fifth or Sixth-layer small fry, being eradicated by him alone is not surprising."

"Half-Emperor..."

Xia Naiwu stroked his chin, pacing back and forth in the hall, his pupils carrying a hint of coldness.

"Four hundred and ninety elemental rules, has my nephew gone mad?"

Xia Naiwu finally returned to sit on the emperor's chair.

"I reckon he's desperate to enhance his power," the shadow assessed. "Condensing the Emperor Body is a very long and arduous path. Even a Celestial Tier Martial Saint with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years might fail to succeed."

"But after breaking through to a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint, one's understanding of the elements of heaven and earth will greatly improve. Although it's challenging, it's definitely not as difficult as condensing the Emperor Body..."

"Enough, stop with the wild analysis!"

Xia Naiwu's eyes flashed with cold light, immediately cutting off the shadow's words.

"That's Xia Tianming's grandson, with the same Innate Emperor Body like mine. After cultivating to Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint, condensing the Emperor Body is a natural progression!"

The shadow's body trembled, only then remembering that Xia Feng also had an Innate Emperor Body, for whom breaking through to Martial Sovereign was not difficult!

"Master Emperor's Son, your teachings are correct. It was my oversight," the shadow took a breath.

"But I still can't understand why he didn't condense the Emperor Body to become a Half-Emperor after initially mastering forty-nine elemental rules. Why choose this self-destructive path?"

"You don't understand, and neither do I," Xia Naiwu shook his head, holding his forehead.

"But I can roughly guess why he can do this, though I don't know his intentions."

"Sword Dao, Knife Dao, Dao of Li Huo, Dao of Extreme Ice, Dao of Life..."

Xia Naiwu listed the ten elemental rules mastered by Xia Feng.

"Do you think these elements are connected to something?"

"This..." The shadow was puzzled, lost in thought.

"Let me give you a hint, the Top Ten Top Grade Sacred Lands," Xia Naiwu said lightly.

Upon hearing these words, the shadow suddenly realized.

He opened his mouth wide, blurting out, "This is the Dao of the Top Ten Top Grade Sacred Lands!"

"But, why?"

Xia Naiwu shook his head and said, "The Ten Great Daos of Elements, since the founding of the Great Xia Empire, no one has ever traveled such a path."

"I don't know what my nephew is planning, but his actions have made it impossible for me to remain low-profile."

Xia Naiwu sighed.

"Emperor's Son, surely you don't mean... But if you do this, those elders will certainly cause you trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the shadow panicked.

Xia Naiwu no longer intended to hide. By saying this, it indicated that the Emperor's Lineage was personally going to take action against Xia Feng!

"Trouble for me? As long as the Reversed Blood Lineage doesn't become a problem for Father Emperor, those old things can come for me all they want!"

Staring in the direction of the main hall, Xia Naiwu couldn't help but express his rage.

The shadow immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak in front of the furious Xia Naiwu.

"Forget it... Go to Lingxiao Pavilion immediately, have Liao Changfei take action, and this time, we must crush my nephew and eldest brother to ashes."

Knowing he had lost his composure, Xia Naiwu calmed himself down before waving his hand to the shadow.

Lingxiao Pavilion?!

Upon hearing this, the shadow almost forgot to breathe. He looked at Xia Naiwu in shock, as if confirming whether he had heard wrong.

"I told you to go, are your ears deaf?"

Seeing the shadow frozen in place, Xia Naiwu's expression instantly cooled.

"No... I wouldn't dare, I'll go find Lord Liao immediately."

The shadow bit his lip, struggling to breathe as he shattered the space, heading in a certain direction in the Imperial Capital.

He really hadn't anticipated that the Emperor's Son would employ the presence of Lingxiao Pavilion to annihilate Xia Feng!

They are the Empire's guardians of the Great Xia Empire!

The twenty-four Martial Sovereigns of Lingxiao Pavilion fought on the battlefield for the Great Xia Empire, securing the realm for that figure.

They can be considered the most elite, the most powerful force of the Great Xia Empire!

These are truly powerhouses who have broken through to the Martial Sovereign Realm, capable of fighting a nation single-handedly!

No matter the Dynasty or Sacred Land, in front of these twenty-four people, they're like chickens and clay dogs, not even worth looking at!

Unexpectedly, Xia Naiwu would indeed utilize such an existence to strike.

Liao Changfei is a Martial Sovereign coming from the Emperor's Lineage, and he is the only Martial Sovereign Xia Naiwu can currently mobilize.

He is a newly ascended Martial Sovereign in the empire over the past millennium, but with incredible talent and intelligence, he is now a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, ranking seventeenth among the twenty-four Martial Sovereigns.
