Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

The Black Abyss Emperor's eyes turned slightly cold, and immediately he stepped through the void, instantly appearing in another place.

Boom!

The Emperor's might covered a million miles, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to cease, making the entire world seem plunged into doomsday. Countless cultivators wore expressions of panic, not knowing what had transpired.

The next moment.

The Black Abyss Emperor refined all living beings entirely, and the terrifying life origin converged towards him like a flood.

Slaughter!

Complete slaughter!

The Black Abyss Emperor roamed through the Ancient Desolate World, annihilating all life in his path. Whether it was cultivators from the Divine Transformation Daoist Palace or Great Saints, they were all blood food in his eyes, no different from each other.

Billions of living beings were blood-sacrificed and refined, their terrifying resentment reaching the heavens and shaking a vast domain.

This upheaval.

Made many forces turn pale upon hearing it.

"The Ancient Great Emperor has appeared, blood-sacrificing all creatures!"

"This is a great calamity—"

An Ancient Great Saint had a sorrowful expression, as if witnessing a scene of blood rain pouring and the heavens and earth weeping.

In the Ancient Xia Family.

Xia Tianjun listened to the report from the Xia Family elder, his expression somewhat serious.

"The Ancient Great Emperor has emerged, now wantonly slaughtering, intending to seize the life origin of all beings to restore his own power. But for an existence of the Emperor Realm, the life origin of ordinary cultivators is insufficient, only a sufficient quantity will do!"

"For the Black Abyss Emperor to recover, he would need the blood of at least a billion humans!"

Regarding the actions of the Black Abyss Emperor, Xia Tianjun sneered, but he would not intentionally interfere.

The Ancient Great Emperor.

Even if he was not afraid himself, he could not afford to offend him easily.

Moreover.

The Ancient Desolate World is so vast.

Humans number far more than billions.

Even if a billion humans perished, it would not significantly damage the entire Ancient Desolate World.

In Xia Tianjun's eyes, ordinary humans were like ants, fallen as they fell. During past great catastrophes, the ones who suffered the most casualties were these cultivators.

As long as the Black Abyss Emperor does not go against the Ancient Xia Family, Xia Tianjun could not care less.

Xia Qiuqiu hesitated: "If that Ancient Great Emperor opposes the Divine Martial Dynasty, what should we do?"

"..."

Xia Tianjun was silent for a while, then slowly spoke.

"Let's just watch for now!"

If possible, Xia Tianjun naturally did not want to get involved in their conflict.

But now the Ancient Xia Family had nominally submitted to the Divine Martial Dynasty. If the Ancient Great Emperor truly invaded, the Divine Martial Dynasty's orders would come down, leaving no room for the Xia Family to refuse.

Unless.

The Xia Family wanted to tear apart their relationship with the Divine Martial Dynasty.

But doing so.

The Xia Family would have to bear the corresponding consequences.

If the Ancient Great Emperor could destroy the Divine Martial Dynasty, then fine.

But the problem is, in Xia Tianjun's view, even though the Ancient Great Emperor is formidable, it's impossible for him to obliterate the Divine Martial Dynasty.

As long as the Gu Family Ancestor lives, no one can threaten the Divine Martial Dynasty.

Similarly.

If the Xia Family does not follow the decree, when the Divine Martial Dynasty settles accounts later, the visit of the Gu Family Ancestor to the Xia Family would be a considerable trouble.

The battle in the Taichu Ancient Land made Xia Tianjun realize the vast gap between himself and Gu Qingfeng.

The opponent never fully used his entire foundation, while he had to rely on an Imperial Weapon to contend against him. Without the Imperial Weapon, he wouldn't be the opponent at all.

With Gu Qingfeng's strength, the opponent becoming an Emperor is inevitable.

Once such a strong one breaks through the Emperor Realm, his power will be even more terrifying.

In this situation.

It's natural that Xia Tianjun did not want to tear his relationship with the Divine Martial Dynasty.

...

In the Divine Martial Dynasty.

In the court.

A minister cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, news has come from various places that the Ancient Great Emperor, who emerged from the Taichu Ancient Land, is wantonly slaughtering and blood-sacrificing billions of beings. This matter cannot be ignored!"

"The Ancient Great Emperor!"

Gu Yang's eyes narrowed, his fingers gently tapping the armrest. After a moment, he turned his gaze to Gu Yi.

"Does the Jinyi Guard have any clarity on the identity of that Ancient Great Emperor?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that Emperor is named Black Abyss. He was an Emperor of the Human Clan from the Ancient Times, and later disappeared without a trace. It was rumored outside that he had long since died, but in fact, he had sealed himself in the Taichu Ancient Land.

As for the Imperial Clan left behind by the Black Abyss Emperor in the past, it turned to dust during the Ancient Catastrophe.

As for more information, the Jinyi Guard has not been able to fully understand it yet!"

Gu Yi reported truthfully.

Ancient Great Emperor!

These four words brought immense pressure to all the ministers in the court.

Gu Yang frowned deeply, then said: "Keep a close watch on the movements of the Black Abyss Emperor. If he does not step into the Divine Martial Territory, so be it, but should he trespass into the Divine Martial Territory, report to me immediately. At that time, I will personally request the Supreme Emperor to come forth and suppress him!"

An Ancient Great Emperor is equivalent to a moving natural disaster; Gu Yang certainly wouldn't take it lightly.

But the Ancient Desolate World is so vast that Gu Yang couldn't possibly track the other's movements and then besiege and suppress him.

After all.

If an Emperor wanted to leave.

Even another Emperor would find it difficult to stop him.

So.

The Ancient Desolate World isn't solely dominated by the Divine Martial Dynasty. Before other forces intervene, Gu Yang couldn't act recklessly.

If the Divine Martial Dynasty and the Ancient Great Emperor both are exhausted in battle, others would exploit the situation.

So.

As long as the Black Abyss Emperor does not offend the Divine Martial Dynasty, Gu Yang couldn't be bothered to engage him.

Of course—

Gu Yang also knew that the enmity between the Divine Martial Dynasty and the other party was already established, and if there was a chance, the latter wouldn't ignore the Divine Martial Dynasty.

If there was a chance.

Gu Yang still hoped to entirely eradicate this threat.

But before that, what Gu Yang needed to do was quickly unify the entire Eastern Domain and then let the Divine Martial Dynasty ascend to a Divine Dynasty.

Just then.

Suddenly.

The Qi Fortune of the Divine Martial Dynasty shook.

When Gu Yang looked into the void outside, he saw the Qi Fortune of the dynasty manifest once again, a newly sprouting lotus leaf slowly growing out, transforming the previous Nine-grade Green Lotus into a Tenth-grade.

And when the Tenth-grade Green Lotus appeared, a potent Qi Fortune descended, causing Gu Yang's body to slightly shudder, and his cultivation directly broke through from Saint Second Realm to Saint Third Heaven.

"Achieved the Saint Third Heaven!"

Gu Yang did not expect his cultivation to break through so quickly, nor did he expect that simply the Qi Fortune Green Lotus' transformation to Tenth-grade, rather than the dynasty ascending to a Divine Dynasty, could bring such a significant change.

However, the difference was.

This time, the transformation of the Qi Fortune Green Lotus only resulted in Gu Yang breaking through in cultivation, without any of the ministers experiencing an increase in Qi Fortune.

Seeing this scene.

Gu Yang also understood internally.

As the Emperor of the Dynasty, he is closely tied to the dynasty's Qi Fortune, so any changes in the Qi Fortune Green Lotus could directly reflect on him.

But comparatively.

The other ministers, although they also received Qi Fortune support, only when the dynasty ascends can it truly result in breakthroughs in cultivation.

In daily life, the Qi Fortune support accelerates cultivation significantly.

This is why many cultivators wish to become officials in the dynasty.

Receiving the Qi Fortune's protection from the Dynasty, cultivation receives divine-like assistance. Even cultivators of average talent, when enhanced by the dynasty's Qi Fortune, can rival true prodigies.

Of course.

This applies to the Dynasty.

In contrast, the augmentation from typical dynasties and kingdoms is not as high.

Especially the latter.

The Qi Fortune of a kingdom is limited, and thus the changes it brings are limited.

Most cultivators who possess some level of cultivation do not value the Qi Fortune of a mere kingdom. Only the Qi Fortune of a dynasty and above are desired by these cultivators.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Qi Fortune Green Lotus has transformed into Tenth-grade, the ascension to a Divine Dynasty is just around the corner!"

The ministers hurriedly congratulated as they witnessed this scene, and hearing this, Gu Yang's face also revealed a smile.

Green Lotus Tenth-grade!

Then how far can the Eleventh-grade and Twelfth-grade be?

One must know.

The current Divine Martial Dynasty has just begun to conquer the Eastern Domain and has not truly brought all one hundred and eight provinces under control.

When that step is reached, ascending to a Divine Dynasty will surely happen.
