Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Xu Family Third Ancestor, Breakthrough of the Four Great Divine Origin Realms
Hearing that Ye Feng was leaving, many silently felt regret.
Inside the Great Liang Imperial Palace.
The Empress’s voice, somewhat weak, came through: “Sect Master Ye, are you in a hurry to return to your sect?”
“Yes, I will head back today.” Ye Feng nodded in response.
Just moments ago, the Sect’s Crisis Awareness had sounded a warning!
It seemed that a great battle was coming!
“Perhaps the Demon-locking Tower is about to erupt… After lying dormant for so long, is it finally time for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect to make their move?”
Ye Feng’s brow was tightly furrowed.
He did not understand why the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect would dare to strike.
Setting aside his and Hu Feifei’s status as two Divine Origin Realm Great Powers, not to mention the leaders of the Four Star-Level Forces: County King City, Sword King Sect, Myriad Islands Alliance, and Divine Wind Sword Sect, who were now not far from breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm themselves.
Perhaps they had already made the breakthrough.
In such a scenario, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect would essentially be facing six Divine Origin Realms at once.
Could they possibly be a match?
“If I were the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, I would definitely strike right after the descent of the Heavenly Dew and before the Sect Masters of the Four Two-Star Forces break through to the Divine Origin Realm; that would be the time to strike when they are most vulnerable.”
“As for acting now, wouldn’t that be ill-timed?”
“Could it be that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s foundation is much stronger than I imagined, powerful enough to sweep through several Divine Origin Realms?”
“Or perhaps… they have reinforcements?”
Ye Feng thought of this possibility.
The next instant, he considered the Ancient Soul Clan’s seal in the Underground Cavern and the mysterious and unpredictable King of the Foreign Clan.
If the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect allied with the Underground Cavern Alien Race, they could indeed form a formidable force.
“Once I return, I must visit the Ancient Soul Clan to see if their seal has developed issues.” Ye Feng thought to himself.
While he was contemplating, the others had finished packing.
Looking at the people ready to set off, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and said in the direction of the Great Liang Imperial Palace, “Empress, I must attend to urgent matters at my Sect. We shall meet again if fate allows.”
“Until we meet again!” the Great Liang Empress replied.
Looking at disciples like Wang Ping’an on the ground and the many Spiritual Beasts heavy with large and small bundles, Ye Feng held back a sigh, waved his hand, and led them to the vicinity of the Star Palace.
“These are actual stars!”
Ji Ziling stood on a meteorite the size of a fist, noticing its hard material that enabled it to float steadily in midair.
Even heavy Demonic Beasts like Mad Elephant and Niu Dali could stand firmly on it.
“Let’s go!”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng controlled the Star Palace, carrying everyone back to the Misty Sect tens of thousands of miles away.
…
It had been more than half a month since the battle at County King City.
Various news spread wildly, particularly about the Vine Giant, which had already become known throughout the entire Mystique Kingdom.
Mystique Capital.
A majestic and grandiose temple.
Ancestor Lingmiao sat cross-legged under an ancient tree, hearing the news about the battle at County King City, yawned and said: “A mere Divine Origin Realm Demon Fiend is no threat, even if she could truly descend, this old Ancestor could suppress her with a single slap.”
“The Ancestor is mighty!”
Several Divine Origin Realm Great Powers kneeling nearby flattered in succession.
“However, that Ye Feng from the Misty Sect and Hu Feifei are somewhat interesting, being able to cultivate to the Divine Origin Realm in the Southern River Basin where Spiritual Energy is scarce, is indeed beyond this old Ancestor’s expectations.”
Ancestor Lingmiao murmured, his voice remaining calm.
“Ancestor, do we need to summon them over?” A middle-aged man draped in dragon robes, with a thick beard asked.
“No need!”
Ancestor Lingmiao waved his hand, “Right now, the top priority is to prepare materials, construct a large Teleportation Array, and advance our Mystique Kingdom to a Four-Star Force.”
“Understood.” The dragon-robed middle-aged man nodded.
…
Several hundred miles away.
A vast complex of buildings covering dozens of miles.
“Hmph, what nonsense!” Xu Huamao slapped the table, his aura growing ever more formidable.
Heavenly Dew was the golden opportunity for all who were half a step away from becoming a Great Venerable to make a breakthrough.
But he had failed!
He was so close!
The reason was that at the critical moment of his breakthrough, he thought of the scene where he was utterly defeated by Princess Hu Feifei. His Dao heart became unstable, leading to his failure to break through, leaving him awkwardly close to the Divine Origin Realm.
“Hmph, worthless, to fail at such a good opportunity is most disappointing to me,” a voice full of contempt came from a high pagoda.
Xu Huamao quickly knelt on the ground and cried towards the distant pagoda, “Third Ancestor, it’s all Princess Hu Feifei’s fault. If she had not beaten this junior, causing my Dao heart to become unstable, how could I have failed my breakthrough?”
“Hmph, the excuse of the worthless is always plentiful!”
Xu Family’s Third Ancestor coldly snorted, “But isn’t it that South Ming Country’s five major cities have taken control of a secret realm? In half a year, if you can obtain enough Spirit Consolidating Fruit, you can still attempt to break into the Divine Origin Realm.”
“Yes!” Xu Huamao’s eyes lit up.
Although this breakthrough had failed, there was still the Spirit Consolidating Fruit.
Moreover, his foundation was now extremely solid, and with the help of the Spirit Consolidating Fruit, a treasure of heaven and earth, a breakthrough was guaranteed to succeed.
“Let’s talk about the Spirit Consolidating Fruit later. Right now, there are more important things to deal with,” continued the Xu Family’s Third Ancestor.
“Third Ancestor, please speak,” Xu Huamao hastily suppressed his excitement, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
“The Ancestor said that we of the Xu Family cannot lose face. In a few days, I will go with you to the Misty Sect to seek justice,” the Third Ancestor of the Xu Family said indifferently.
However, Xu Huamao could hear full confidence in the words.
“Third Ancestor, you’re going in person?” Xu Huamao’s eyes widened, clearly excited, “Could it be that you’ve made a breakthrough?”
“Indeed, after this Heavenly Dew, I have broken through two realms consecutively from the peak of the Divine Origin Realm first layer, entering the Divine Origin Realm third layer. Even with the two Great Powers of the Misty Sect, they are not my match.”
The more the Xu Family Third Ancestor spoke, the more serene he appeared, yet his words overflowed with arrogance and confidence.
“Divine Origin Realm third layer!”
Xu Huamao gasped and then suddenly pinched his thigh hard, feeling the pain, he realized, this was real.
The Third Ancestor had advanced to the Divine Origin Realm third layer!
“Misty Sect, Ye Feng, Princess Hu Feifei, you all wait for me!”
Xu Huamao finally stood up, held his head high and, with his hands behind his back, walked through the vast Xu Family mansion.
Pouting slightly, he unleashed his full aura!
…
This Heavenly Dew had brought about a qualitative improvement for the Mystique Kingdom.
Many old fellows who were stuck at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm had broken through, enjoying the surge in lifespan and the robust vitality that came with it, their previously dim eyes now shining with newfound brilliance.
Myriad Islands Alliance.
Boom!
A terrifying aura soared into the sky as a giant dragon coiled itself in the void, creating wave after wave of momentum.
“Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong has successfully broken through!”
“Congratulations to the Alliance Leader!”
“This marks the first Divine Origin Realm power for our Myriad Islands Alliance; from now on, we’re also qualified to ascend to a Three-Star Force.”
The Blue Dragon King, Mo Minxi, and others took a long breath of relief.
With Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong’s successful breakthrough, the burden pressing on their hearts finally lifted, and they relaxed.
Sword King Sect.
Clang!
A massive sky-reaching sword soared into the heavens, spanning a kilometer and seemingly capable of splitting the sky, churning the wind and clouds and drawing countless swordsmen to worship.
“Hail to the Sect Master’s breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm, safeguarding our Sword King Sect’s glory and prosperity for thousands of years!”
The followers of the Sword King Sect knelt and shouted.
Jiang Baige, the chief true disciple, knelt on the ground, looking at the sword that seemed to cut through the sky. He clenched his fists tightly, filled with aspiration.
Divine Wind Sword Sect.
Clang!
A sharp sword also soared into the sky, but without the momentum to split the heavens, it radiated an intense sharpness instead.
Rip!
With a gentle vibration of the sword, endless sword might spread over dozens of miles, dissipating the wind and clouds in the area.
