Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Destroy the corpse and erase the traces? That suits my intentions perfectly!"

Xiao Yi flashed a grin and eyed Black Falcon with amusement.

The Ninth Grade Longevity Spirit and the Dao Heart Seed Demon Skill were of utmost importance and absolutely could not be leaked.

Otherwise...

Both he and Little Lin would be in mortal danger.

The only way to ensure that no information was leaked was to kill Black Falcon.

Black Falcon was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, "Ridiculous, do you really think you, at the mere peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm, can kill me? It seems you have no clue just how powerful the experts of the Longevity Secret Realm are!"

"You're not the first from the Longevity Secret Realm to die by my hand!" Xiao Yi said, still grinning.

Black Falcon's brow furrowed.

Suddenly...

An image surfaced in his mind, and he looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief, speaking solemnly, "Are you... Xiao Yi from the Daqian Dynasty?"

Apart from the supreme geniuses of the Nantian Holy Land and the inner court of the Nantian Holy Institute, the only person Black Falcon knew of who could wield such combat power at the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm was Xiao Yi, the Peerless King of Daqian Dynasty.

Upon this realization...

Black Falcon's eyes lit up with wild joy, and he laughed heartily, "Excellent, excellent, excellent! It's as if I've found what I searched so hard for without any effort at all. The entire Daqian Dynasty wishes for your death, but they're restrained by the edict from the Nantian Holy Land and unable to act. Yet here you are, delivering yourself to me. Killing you would earn immense merit, enough for me to become a noble and an advisor—easily within reach!"

The news of Ye Hua and the other four from the Longevity Secret Realm dying had already spread back to the Nantian Dynasty.

The Nantian Dynasty was seething with anger.

Even though those five individuals had merely refined the spirit from the weakest ranks of the Longevity Secret Realm, their collective power was formidable.

Yet all five had died in the Daqian Dynasty.

This caused a furor throughout the court and country.

However, due to the decree from the Nantian Holy Land, no hostilities were allowed between the two nations within the time limit of the Nantian Assassination Order.

That was the only reason the Nantian Dynasty had not made a move.

Otherwise...

Even if it did not lead to war between the two countries, they would have sent experts to the Daqian Dynasty to provoke a battle for longevity.

The previous summons from the commander of the imperial guards was to discuss sending people to the Daqian Dynasty after the Nantian Assassination Order expired.

They had not expected Xiao Yi to voluntarily come to them.

If they could capture or kill Xiao Yi and then present him to Nantian Wen immediately after the Assassination Order ended, the resulting merit would be great enough to earn a promotion of three ranks without any issue.

With this thought in mind...

Black Falcon's body swept up in a black light, forming a dark seal behind him. As it spun slowly, the dark light from all around converged into the seal. He held out his hand, causing the seal to hover above his palm. While it floated and sank, it emitted a humming sound and a palpable sense of death enveloped it.

"Dark Seal that Dominates the Nine Nethers!"

Black Falcon slapped his palm down, and the dark seal instantly burst forth with an intensified black light, rolling towards Xiao Yi to crush him.

Boom!

A thunderous noise erupted.

The dark seal abruptly enlarged as if it were a towering mountain, smashing toward Xiao Yi's head. The ferocious power was so overwhelming that it made the void in all directions tremble, with spatial rifts appearing everywhere. From those dark rifts devoid of light, storms of the void poured forth.

The roaring sound reverberated throughout the entire Black Eagle Mountain Range.

Boom boom boom!

Under the storm of the void, mountains crumbled at a rate visible to the naked eye, becoming dust in the sky, sprinkling down softly.

Rivers were sucked into the air, fish and other river creatures were lifted helplessly high into the sky and then plummeted to their deaths.

Facing such a formidable attack from the Dark Seal...

Xiao Yi showed a stern expression, with purple-gold light flowing around his body and the Wind Thunder Wings on his back fluttering.

His muscles tensed in an instant, as hard as forged metal.

Within his eyes...

The brilliance resembled two tangible swords, shuttling through the void.

As if tearing the heavens apart.

Boom!

The Demon Sword Chanyue unsheathed and merged with his body, transforming into the domain of the Skycloak Sword.

Within the Sword domain.

Blue Sword Qi converged into a circular Sword Array that enveloped the black Nether Seal, with countless sharp swords radiating out as Xiao Yi pointed.

With his will, the sword moved.

Amidst the whooshing sounds of tearing through the air.

Countless sword shadows rose against the sky, like schools of fish surging in a river, the booming noises were continuous as they slammed into the Nether Seal, one after the other.

Under the relentless onslaught of the endless Sword Qi.

The entire Nether Seal, emitting black streams of qi, burst open amidst the thunderous noise.

Finally, with a loud boom,

It exploded into a cloud of dust,

Dispersing between heaven and earth.

"You could shatter my Nether Seal?"

Hei Yu's complexion shifted slightly, as he did not expect Xiao Yi to be so powerful. He was able to shatter a strike from a being of the Third-layer Heavenly Venerable Realm with his Dharma Phase Realm Peak cultivation. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "No wonder His Majesty holds you in such high regard, you indeed have some skill. Given more time, you might truly become a great threat to the Nantian Dynasty. Alas, it is a pity that you have met me today!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a black crow appeared behind Hei Yu.

This crow was fifty zhang tall with a wingspan nearly a hundred zhang wide.

Between its eyebrows,

Three tufts of golden yellow feathers shone like a crown, resplendent and bright.

Nether Raven!

A legendary creature that dwells in the Yin and Yang realms, devouring the living by day and gnawing on the souls of the dead by night.

With the appearance of the Nether Raven,

A deathly aura enveloped Hei Yu's body. As he spread his arms, black lines flew out from the body of the Nether Raven and landed on him. Shortly after, they pulled Hei Yu into the body of the Nether Raven's Dharma Manifestation, fusing man and manifestation into one. This was one of the strongest techniques of the adepts of the Longevity Secret Realm.

Fusing man and manifestation into one.

Allowed him to wield the forces of heaven and earth through the Dharma Manifestation!

"Sword of Death!"

A low roar emanated from the mouth of the Nether Raven as Hei Yu's black wings suddenly flapped. Amidst the whooshing sounds, countless black feathered swords shot forth explosively.

Like a torrential downpour, they fell from the sky.

The whooshing sounds

Were deafening.

Each of these feathered swords was comparable to a Seventh Grade elemental weapon!

Both the speed and the power reached the pinnacle of what a being of the Third-layer Heavenly Venerable Realm could exert.

Facing such a terrifying attack, Xiao Yi's eyes sharpened, revealing a somber expression. Purple-gold light flickered unstably around him as the Wind Thunder armor clung to his body, lightning coalesced into a mighty thunder spear, while gusts of wind formed the Hurricane Divine Shield. Spear and shield combined, he seemed like a Golden Armored War God about to rush headlong into the oncoming black rain of swords.

But just at this moment...

A booming noise echoed from the Black Hawk Fort Mountain Range; a golden light shattered the entire peak and shot up into the sky with a loud boom.

Within that column of golden light, a figure broke through the air and rushed over.

Hovering in the sky above,

Within the pillar of golden light covering him, the figure spoke coldly, "Boss, how is this wretch worthy of your attention? Let me handle it!"
