"What, an Earth Tier Nine Layer Beast?!"

Master Qingyang was shocked, his mouth wide open. Xia Feng actually had an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign level exotic beast as his servant.

One should know that even he, a Celestial Tier master, has only managed to tame an Earth Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign Netherworld Tiger.

"Damn it."

Master Qingyang cursed inwardly. Exotic beasts have peculiar tempers, and becoming a human's servant usually requires some fortuitous encounter.

He had originally planned to use this Netherworld Tiger to distract Xia Feng, then find an opportunity to assassinate him.

Unexpectedly, this plan backfired, and not only did he fail to kill Xia Feng, but he also allowed his Netherworld Tiger to become a meal for that giant python.

"I said, today, you all must die."

Xia Feng glanced at the Ghost Shark, who was engaged in battle with the ten women, then turned around with an extremely terrifying murderous aura.

Master Qingyang also looked at him coldly.

He was a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign. No matter what Xia Feng relied on to fight across realms, he would not fear!

Without saying much, the two figures quickly engaged in battle.

They traded blows, constantly switching positions in mid-air.

The power of the Great Dao in the world burst layer by layer.

Xia Feng's attack moves were strange and ever-changing, while Master Qingyang clearly followed an assassin's critical strike path, yet he couldn't find any flaw in Xia Feng's technique to effectively hit him.

However, the fact that the Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign has some skill was deeply felt by Xia Feng when facing him.

If it weren't for the enhancement by the Dream Realm Pearl, he wouldn't have had the assurance to say he would keep the two of them here.

Master Qingyang was enraged, resentful, exerting force, but to no avail.

The Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign was unable to do anything about the Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, this bizarre phenomenon had become a reality.

In the end, even Master Qingyang had to admit that Xia Feng's hard strength was not inferior to his.

But he couldn't understand it. An empire's highest combat strength is the Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign. If those old monsters of the Imperial Family do not appear, theoretically, his strength should be able to sweep across the world.

For example, in the Great Xia Empire, the known Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns are former Emperors from the Xia Family, and there's no hidden ones in secret.

Their Lingxiao Pavilion's Great Dragon General was only at the peak of Earth Tier Nine Layer, which was why the Rizhao Empire always dared to harass the Great Xia Empire.

The Rizhao Empire had three Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns from outside the Imperial Family, they were the core strength as long as the core strength of both sides didn't take the stage.

But at this moment, it seemed like the situation had shifted slightly.

Master Qingyang parried his attacks, narrowing his eyes at Xia Feng.

If an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign could use a military array to unleash such formidable power, or if there were unconventional Martial Sovereigns like Xia Feng who ruled ten Great Daos, their advantage as Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns would be completely lost.

The Cyan Emperor sent them to hold the line and see the attitude of the Great Xia Empire's Imperial Family.

If the old monsters of the Great Xia Empire's Imperial Family made a move, the Rizhao Empire would gain tremendous external support, turning it into a justified war.

With a justification, even if the Great Xia Empire were to be annihilated, the other empires outside wouldn't have much to say.

But if the Great Xia Empire did not deploy Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns, and they were merely killed by the Earth Tier Martial Sovereign Xia Feng, then no matter how they calculated, it would be in vain.

"It's time to send you on your way. After killing you, we must return to defend Spirit City!"

"It's only two Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereigns. I thought the Rizhao Empire could send stronger Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns..."

Xia Feng sneered, then took out four more Nine Orifice Exquisite Hearts and crushed them.

In an instant, terrifying Spiritual Qi surged into his body, and Xia Feng's aura soared once again.

"Is this the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart technique of the Great Xia Empire?!"

Master Qingyang's pupils shrank, recognizing the technique. Years ago, he had exchanged a few blows with Xia Tianming in the Rizhao Empire.

Back then, using this move, he had forcibly raised his realm from Celestial Tier First Layer to Celestial Tier Third Layer, severely injuring the National Preceptor of the Rizhao Empire, making him vomit blood. It was difficult to hold on until the Cyan Emperor arrived to save his life.

And currently, Xia Feng's aura had already broken through to Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, moments later reaching the Second Layer Realm, and only stopped upon reaching the Third Layer Realm.

A Celestial Tier Third Layer Martial Sovereign — this was already beyond what Master Qingyang could contend with!

"Prepare to die!"

Xia Feng's shout was as thunderous as he instantly lunged at Master Qingyang, the massive power enveloping his weapon, making his hands numb and tremble uncontrollably!

"Retreat, Ghost Shark, retreat! There's something suspicious about this guy, he's even more treacherous than his grandfather!"

Facing a force he couldn't resist, Master Qingyang immediately shouted to Ghost Shark, intending to withdraw from the area.

But when Ghost Shark heard his shout, how could he not want to leave?

Except the ten women occupied ten positions in the sky, sealing the entire space with their Emperor Level Array. To leave the array, he would need extremely strong power to break through it with brute force.

Otherwise, he had to kill a few of these women. Once the array weakened, he would be able to leave.

But below, that giant snake creature continuously ambushed him, and whenever he tried to capture a Saintess to break through, the Heaven-Swallowing Two-headed Python would pounce and spray its venom on Ghost Shark's back.

Ghost Shark did not want to be poisoned before killing the ten women.

Even though his realm was high, poison was unpredictable, and unless necessary, he didn't want to get involved with it at all!

"Can't escape. No matter what, we have to kill him today. If it really comes to it, demonize!"

Ghost Shark gritted his teeth and shouted to Master Qingyang.

Demonization.

Hearing this, Master Qingyang's eyes immediately focused.

Just to deal with an Earth Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign, would they really need to use this Forbidden Technique?

Demonization was the trump card of these Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns from the Rizhao Empire.

Although useful, once demonized, the side effects were terrifying.

This technique was taught by the Cyan Emperor and could only be learned by the Rizhao Empire's Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns.

According to the Cyan Emperor, demonization could greatly enhance the practitioner's power, primarily by strengthening their physical cells, forcibly transforming them into a demon race's body.

However, this transformation was largely irreversible.

Each usage would turn part of the body into an Otherworldly Demon Race, and although only weakened for a period after canceling demonization, a portion of the body's tissues would still retain demonic traits.

According to the Cyan Emperor, demonization could only be used at most three times.

Once exceeded three times, one would be completely stripped of their sanity, becoming a demon race creature solely bent on slaughter.

No one wanted such a fate; becoming a demon race meant the original self was dead, leaving only a monster using one's body to conduct endless killing.

Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark had already used the demonization technique once during practice. Now, they only had two more chances left.
