At this moment, the overwhelming pressure spread, causing a chill in people's hearts.
"You're not afraid of me?"
As a high-ranking official of Liyang, second only to one person and above ten thousand, the King of Northern Liang had governed Northern Liang for twenty years.
Xu Xiao had not experienced being rejected for too long.
"No."
Fahai faced him calmly, shaking his head without hesitation.
Although the Bei Liang Royal Residence was famous, it did not have a single expert in the Heavenly Human Realm.
Chu Kuangnu was trapped underwater; even if released, he might not be willing to help him.
Li Chungang, having drawn a line in the sand, naturally would not offer assistance.
As for that 'Northern Liang nuclear warhead,' their strengths were similar, and the outcome was unpredictable.
His prestige mostly relied on the Xu Family's 300,000-strong army.
With his own abilities, if he wanted to leave, no one in the Royal Residence could stop him.
Seeing this situation, Xu Xiao could only sigh and give up.
"Since that's the case, the Bei Liang Royal Residence will no longer protect you in the slightest."
"There's no need for that."
Fahai's expression was indifferent; he didn't care.
With his own cultivation, he wasn't afraid of Liyang's covert assassination methods.
With that, Xu Xiao turned and left.
Soon after, a cold and beautiful figure quietly appeared, it was Nangong Pu She.
"What are your plans?"
"Plans? Of course, to take you back."
Nangong sighed softly, "I want to enter Tingchao Pavilion, and I will not leave until I reach the Heavenly Human Realm."
That battle with Han Shengxuan had once again awakened the hatred deep within her heart.
She had long ago sworn an oath to avenge her mother.
Insufficient strength made it difficult to make those who had once harmed her pay the price.
"The Heavenly Human Realm?"
Fahai smiled faintly, taking out the evil emperor relic from his hand.
"This is... the evil emperor relic?"
Nangong had heard of this item before and knew it had fallen into Fahai's hands.
"So the rumors are true, it really is with you."
Fahai nodded, "It contains the lifelong Cultivation and Origin Qi of successive Evil Emperors, as well as their Legacy Cultivation Techniques."
"Although most of the Internal Energy within has been used, the essence and martial arts remain."
"And the key to reaching the Heavenly Human Realm is hidden within."
"Oh?"
Nangong seemed slightly puzzled, "Since the Internal Energy is exhausted, how can one use it to Breakthrough?"
The answer was—absorb the evil emperor relic!
This Dong Xi still contained the True Qi of successive experts of the Demonic Sect.
Last time, Fahai had absorbed less than one-third.
Now was the perfect time to absorb the remaining power together with Nangong.
This evil emperor relic was indeed extraordinary!
As the two of them drew upon the power within, the hidden terrifying True Qi was instantly awakened and perfectly released.
A vast and boundless Qi surged out from the relic, sweeping towards the two of them.
The two subconsciously circulated their own Cultivation Techniques, frantically absorbing the pure power that permeated the entire space.
After an unknown amount of time—
Nangong's accumulation within her body had already reached its limit.
Now standing before her was the threshold of 'Heavenly Human'!
That Realm she had always dreamed of.
Once she stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm, she could truly be considered a powerful expert of the current age, and it was the first step into the top ranks.
If she could Breakthrough, she would have the ability to avenge her mother! This had always been the obsession in her heart.
Nangong took a deep breath, her beautiful face filled with solemnity.
The True Qi, surging like the sea, transformed into monstrous waves, constantly impacting that final barrier!
Waves of turbulent energy crashed against that invisible restraint!
Finally, after countless collisions—*crack*!
It was as if something hard had shattered!
Rolling True Qi instantly surged in, flowing throughout her entire body!
At the same time, the heavens and earth shook, the winds and clouds changed, and endless Heaven and Earth Origin Qi poured into her body like a tide!
She had finally stepped into the 'Heavenly Human' Realm!
Outside the room,
Xu Fengnian stood at the door, a faint smile on his lips, staring at the tightly shut door.
"It's been days, what exactly are they doing in there?" he muttered softly.
He turned to look at Xu Weixiong beside him, "Sister, do you know what they're doing?"
In this situation, facing Xu Weixiong, he had to address her as "Sister"; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, this was Xu Fengnian's experience over many years.
Xu Weixiong's expression was as usual, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Since you've chosen to practice martial arts, if you have this much thought, you might as well spend more time practicing Cultivation."
She never supported Xu Fengnian on the path of martial arts, so she had always been cold towards him.
Having been rebuffed, Xu Fengnian could only pout, turn around, and say nothing more.
Suddenly, a celestial phenomenon abruptly appeared!
The heavens and earth churned, and purple Qi surged from the east, with immense momentum, obscuring the sky and sun!
Purple clouds rolled, covering the horizon, and an area of a hundred li was enveloped by them. In an instant, the entire Bei Liang Royal Residence shook.
Everyone looked up, gazing at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
The guards in the shadows immediately tensed, patrolling everywhere, on high alert.
Xu Fengnian only recovered after a long while.
"Holy cow, this is quite a feat!"
Xu Weixiong's expression was solemn, "Purple Qi from the East? This is a sign of stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm!"
"Someone actually achieved Heavenly Human Realm?!"
Before her words finished, she caught a glimpse with the corner of her eye that there seemed to be an invisible force between heaven and earth, surging towards a certain room in front of them. She already had an idea in her heart, probably guessing who had achieved the Breakthrough.
