In Dongfang Le'an's line of sight, Xia Feng at this moment no longer resembled a human.

From the outside, he looked more like some kind of evil being emanating a demonic glow.

The heart demon had been planted, and over a span of ten thousand years, it had grown into a towering dark tree.

Dongfang Le'an, holding up his Silver Spear, swallowed hard, closed his eyes tightly, and found himself somewhat afraid to look at Xia Feng.

His Dao heart was shaking, trembling.

"Aah!"

In the span of three breaths, Dongfang Le'an still couldn't steady his mind, let out a terrified scream, then put away his Silver Spear and immediately retreated backward explosively.

In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Le'an had fled, disappearing from everyone's view.

His actions completely shocked the people of the Great Xia Empire, as no one expected that Xia Feng, a Celestial Tier Seventh Layer Martial Sovereign, could actually scare away a Martial God alive.

From his behavior, it was as if seeing Xia Feng was like a commoner seeing a ghost in the dead of night.

It wasn't just them; even Qi Anna, who hadn't gone far in the space rift, widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What kind of trick is this?" she couldn't help but exclaim.

Could an ant actually scare away an elephant?

This is unbelievable!

"My husband is quite talented; this is nothing. He'll sooner or later come to take me back again!"

Xiao Qingxue, standing nearby, beamed with joy, unable to contain her pride as she looked up and said to Qi Anna.

Qi Anna remained silent and said nothing, gently shaking her head as she continued to traverse the space rift with Xiao Qingxue.

Perhaps this man from the lower realm truly had some skills, but it did not mean he genuinely had the capital to command attention from the Divine Domain.

A Martial Sovereign is still a Martial Sovereign; unless he breaks through to become a Martial God, no one in the Divine Domain will pay him any mind.

Only after Dongfang Le'an had left did Xia Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The ten thousand years of torment in the dreamscape were not for nothing; at least this time, it scared off Dongfang Le'an.

But this is not a long-term solution either.

Falling to the ground, Xia Feng's brow tightened, his face also looking unsightly.

Those previous Emperors Xia, who were full of smiles and wanted to ask questions, all closed their mouths unanimously.

They also realized what Xia Feng was troubled about; people were unclear why Dongfang Le'an reacted to Xia Feng as if a mouse had seen a cat, but this method seemed unstable.

"The real world and the dreamscape are essentially different... perhaps he will soon realize things are amiss."

Xia Feng leaned against the city wall, beginning to ponder.

The world constructed by the Dream Realm Pearl is both real and illusory; Dongfang Le'an couldn't discern it and could only continue to drown in it.

But in the real world, people's rationality and logic are very clear; perhaps in a few days, Dongfang Le'an will realize.

When that time comes, the Great Xia Empire will face a similar destructive fate.

Using the Dream Realm Pearl for cultivation?

The time is simply not enough; achieving the Celestial Tier Eighth Layer Martial Sovereign in twenty or thirty thousand years would be remarkable, let alone becoming a Martial God.

Xia Feng sighed, then returned to the room to begin contemplating solutions.

When it truly comes to the point of life and death, could he muster the Void Cauldron to withstand a Martial God?

But even if the Void Cauldron repels Dongfang Le'an, once the news spreads, there will likely be more Martial Gods coming after him in the future.

This is not a good solution, but in times of desperation, it might be his only option.

...

His nine other top-grade wives were also worried for Xia Feng; at this critical moment, they chose not to disturb him but gathered together to think of countermeasures.

The Ninth Daughter, filled with worries, had never felt such resentment for their weak abilities as at this moment.

"If only we could become Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereigns, by then with the Ten Extremes Array activated, our husband wouldn't be without a chance to defeat that Martial God!" Celestial Sword Saintess Li Qingxue's eyes gleamed with murderous intent.

"The Purple Gold Cauldron... perhaps it could help our husband."

Sun Yazhu, with her big eyes blinking, spoke with slight worry, "But I'm afraid that once the Purple Gold Cauldron appears, it will bring even greater trouble to our husband."

"But the most important thing is being alive, for where there's life, there's hope," Yu Siya gently patted Sun Yazhu's little head, clearly agreeing that the key moment was to reveal the Purple Gold Cauldron.

The other women didn't have any better ideas, and now the only thing they could rely on was just Sun Yazhu's Purple Gold Cauldron.

Unknowingly, Xia Feng's and Sun Yazhu's plans coincided.

Though exposing a divine artifact is dangerous, it is better than having Dongfang Le'an kill them all one by one.

With both divine artifacts out together, could they fend off Dongfang Le'an's next attack?

...

As Qi Anna shattered the space rift and returned to the Life Divine Domain, several Divine Kings in other dimensional spaces simultaneously opened their eyes.

"The Xiao family has already taken their offspring back."

"Such a young Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign... his talent is truly outstanding."

"It's high time we took our people back as well."

"Practicing in the lower realm for twenty years, progressing even faster than some offspring in the Divine Domain; truly, what are those good-for-nothings doing? If I had known, I would have sent them away!" one Divine King said angrily, disappointed.

With several transmissions exchanged, nine golden lights promptly flashed over the skies of nine locations in the Divine Domain.

The space rifts of the Divine Domain opened, and nine imposing Martial Gods left the dimensional space, entering the lower realm.

It had been three days since Dongfang Le'an fled from the Great Xia Empire's Imperial Capital.

In these three days, he hadn't been well, living in a state of confusion and dread, afraid Xia Feng would come after him with a sneak attack.

After three days, Dongfang Le'an's mindset became increasingly clear.

Unlike the dreamscape, he started to question why he was afraid of Xia Feng.

Obviously, the opponent was just a Martial Sovereign, absolutely impossible to be his match, yet he worried about being beaten down.

The dreamscape and reality...

Dongfang Le'an pondered for a long while, then the heart demon that briefly occupied his mind slowly released its grip.

After thinking it over for a long time, Dongfang Le'an suddenly realized.

He had always felt something was off, and at this moment, he finally understood what it was.

Recalling Xia Feng's demeanor and actions at the time, compared with those in the dreamscape.

Clearly, Xia Feng knew what had happened in the dreamscape.

But that dreamscape that left him with psychological shadows absolutely wasn't something a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign could create.

Divine Artifact!

A gleam flashed in Dongfang Le'an's eyes, linking all the clues together into a single line.

"It turned out to be a divine artifact capable of manipulating dreams, damn it, I was played by him!"

Dongfang Le'an roared in anger, throwing a punch fiercely at the mountainside, bringing up clouds of dust and flying stones, the once grand mountain instantly leveled to the ground, no longer majestic as before.

After confirming repeatedly that his divine power wasn't restricted at all, Dongfang Le'an stepped on his foot, immediately turning back toward the Great Xia Empire!

Let bygones be bygones in the dreamscape, but Xia Feng actually made a fool of him in the real world too.

If he didn't avenge this, Dongfang Le'an swore not to be human!
