Xuanwu War Sovereign

Under the threat of death, Qin Feng’s mind grew taut, like a fully drawn bowstring. The surging Primordial Star True Qi within him poured into the Beiming Divine Water Sword like a Star River. In his palm, the Beiming Divine Water Sword erupted with an unprecedented, formless light.

RUMBLE!

He seemed to hear the roar of a surging tide in his ears.

Within the Beiming Divine Water Sword, layer after layer of the Primordial Tide began to stack. The first wave surged, and the second pushed the first, driving it swiftly to a new peak.

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth waves followed.

Pushing with all his might, Qin Feng felt as if he had broken through a bottleneck. Under the extreme pressure, the six tidal waves merged and thundered into the Beiming Divine Water Sword as one.

In his mind’s eye, Qin Feng saw countless ripples thunderously fuse together, transforming into a single, sky-blotting tidal wave.

’So the tidal waves can merge like this!’ A glimmer of understanding lit up Qin Feng’s eyes as he grasped a rhythm he had previously overlooked.

The surging of the tides wasn’t just about stacking; it was also about the fusion of power.

This was the true Tide Mystical Meaning. In Qin Feng’s Dantian, the Seed of Heaven and Earth flared brilliantly, its silver light pulsing like a real tide.

A majestic power, far beyond imagination, materialized within the Beiming Divine Water Sword.

An intangible, profound glimmer radiated from his eyes. Qin Feng looked up to meet the Sharp Blade descending upon him, then swung his arm in a devastating slash.

The peerless sword light resembled a vast Star River. As it slashed forth, it unfurled like a galaxy, bringing with it a heaven-storming tidal wave.

BANG!

Before the incredulous eyes of every expert watching, this Star River thundered horizontally and slashed across the waist of the Young Emperor of the White Tiger Royal Family, who had transformed his body into a weapon.

CRACK!

A sound like metal being sundered and jade being shattered reached everyone’s ears. The peerless sword light swept through the center of the weapon the Young Emperor had become, slicing the Young King in two.

PSHHH! Blood erupted as the body of this bearer of the White Tiger Royal Family’s Emperor’s Bloodline split apart at the waist.

His Life Force was exceptionally tenacious; he did not die immediately.

He stared blankly at the black-robed youth, his face filled with bitterness.

He was an illegitimate son of the current White Tiger Emperor. He had joined this siege hoping to make a stunning debut, which would grant him access to a flood of clan resources and allow him to soar to new heights.

He never imagined that he would die here before he even had a chance to witness his own rise!

’What majestic Sword Intent! What potent Innate True Power!’

"But... I can’t accept this!! If only I had revealed that my Emperor’s Blood had awakened sooner, I would have received the White Tiger Royal Family’s legacy Secret Technique! I wouldn’t have lost! I wouldn’t have lost!" the Young King roared. His body then exploded, transforming into a spray of bloody light that shot toward the sky.

The experts from the Demon God Temple watched this scene, their throats running dry.

He was dead!

A member of the White Tiger Royal Family who possessed the Emperor’s Bloodline was actually cut down and killed!

As experts of the Demon God Temple, they knew better than anyone how powerful the Emperor’s Bloodline was. And yet, such a prodigy from the Barbaric Wilderness had died at the hands of a seemingly weak member of the Human Race.

Several dozen yards away, Zhang Xuan slew two members of the White Tiger Royal Family with a pair of strikes. His gaze then fell upon Qin Feng.

’A terrifying physique! Majestic Sword Intent! His Sword Intent is the polar opposite of my Lifeless Killing Sword!’

Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered.

’However, his Sword Intent has a major flaw. Though its power is boundless and majestic, it requires time to build up momentum. This is a critical weakness. If someone were to exploit it, they could very well kill him!’

’Furthermore, his True Power is immense and terrifyingly vast, but it’s broad rather than refined. He can’t bring all his techniques to a point of Unity and forge them as one. He’s even wavering between several paths of Origin. This is another weakness. Given the chance, I’m seventy percent confident I could kill this guy!’

After felling the youth from the White Tiger Royal Family with a single strike, Qin Feng showed no trace of joy. He lifted a hand, revealing an arm covered in fine, bloody lines, as if a longsword had sliced him countless times.

Expressionless, Qin Feng took a single step. As he did, strips of flesh across his body tore open and blood began to seep out. He looked like a teapot covered in a fine web of cracks, his entire body on the verge of shattering.

The skin on Qin Feng’s body, and the flesh beneath it, had all been severed by that terrifying Sword Qi.

Qin Feng appeared unharmed on the surface, but in reality, the terrifying Sword Qi had flayed his flesh as if by a thousand cuts.

Countless fine strands of Sword Qi were also rampaging through his meridians, seeping into his organs!

A normal person would have long since been sliced to pieces by the Sword Qi.

Qin Feng circulated the Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique, forcibly commencing the Refinement of the countless strands of Sword Qi slithering through him like loaches. A stream of Seven Star Dragon Spring Water flowed from his Blue Sea and Heaven into his body, merging into his Life Origin like a clear trickle. Visibly, his destroyed meridians regenerated, and new flesh sprouted from his bones and sinews.

Some of the alien Sword Qi that had seeped into his body was forcibly refined by the Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique, turning into nourishment for his physical body instead.

Chunks of dead flesh and old skin fell from his body.

It was an exceptionally horrifying sight!

His aura recovered at a rapid pace, like that of a waking tiger.

Some of the experts from the Demon God Temple eyed the black-robed youth like hungry tigers. However, even knowing the youth was likely injured, none of them dared to approach.

Seeing that the situation had turned against them, some of the Demon God Temple experts prepared to flee, but they were ruthlessly intercepted by Ye Qinghua, Lin Zhiqiu, and the others.

The situation on the battlefield had completely reversed!

The geniuses from All Stars Academy, who had been suppressed for so long, were now like tigers released from their cages. They began to surround and annihilate the experts from the Demon God Temple.

Qin Feng paid no attention to the situation, allowing the students of All Stars Academy to carry on with the Slaughter.

Qin Feng sat down cross-legged and circulated his Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique to recover from his injuries.

Although his injuries this time were severe, they were only flesh wounds and recovered quickly.

Qin Feng’s mind was now mostly focused on the Seed of Heaven and Earth within his body.

Having experienced this life-and-death battle, Qin Feng had become vigilant and was paying attention to certain flaws within his body.

Qin Feng had noticed these flaws when he broke through to the Martial Arts Thirteen Heavens Realm, but due to a lack of time, he hadn’t investigated them in detail.

This time, they had nearly cost him his life.

Thinking back on his fight with the youth of the White Tiger Royal Family, Qin Feng shook his head and reflected, ’In the end, I’m still a step below a true Demon Level existence. My foundation is exceptionally deep thanks to my Innate Primordial Qi, but the Origin of this Seed of Heaven and Earth is too convoluted. Sea Power, Star Power, Power of Calamity, Power of Slaughter... It contains so many different powers, making its Origin seem vast, but in reality, it’s just a scattered mess. I can’t truly bring out my full strength!’

’At best, I could only use half my full potential!’

Dissatisfaction filled Qin Feng’s eyes. If he could have forged all the powers within his Seed of Heaven and Earth into one, how could he have possibly ended up in such a perilous situation?

If he could truly forge all his powers into one and convert them into pure Star True Power, he could have killed that expert from the White Tiger Royal Family with a single strike.

’It seems I must find a way to absorb all the other powers to purify my Origin and walk the true Martial Dao! Only then can I unleash my full strength!’

Qin Feng’s current Seed of Heaven and Earth was described as having ’nine orifices and eight apertures.’ While this strange Seed was far stronger than an ordinary Top-grade Heaven and Earth Seed, it was still a Half-Step away from becoming a true Extreme Dao Heaven and Earth Seed.

Qin Feng guessed that a true Extreme Dao Heaven and Earth Seed must have nine orifices and nine apertures, achieving the numerical perfection of the extreme Dao.

’Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Otherwise, with my current Realm, if I returned to All Stars Academy and went into seclusion for a few months, I could definitely refine this Seed of Heaven and Earth into a true Extreme Dao Heaven and Earth Seed!’

’However, it’s not like there aren’t any other options right now...’
