Xuanwu War Sovereign

Crimson saber light flashed, one strike after another, as if thousands of slashes had been condensed into seven. Flames that seemed to stretch from heaven to earth coiled around the long saber.

That coiling fiery light was like an eternal flame, boiling the Void, melting matter, and incinerating the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

In Qin Feng’s Spiritual Sense, he felt his entire being, along with the surrounding Void, being burned by the flames, melting away. His Qi and Blood turned to nothingness, his soul to ash.

He steadied his mind, and all sorts of terrifying illusions deep within his heart dissipated. The Star River True Power in his body completed a full Circulation. He gripped the Beiming Divine Water Sword, and all the True Power he could muster surged into it.

He was just about to unleash the eleventh sword of the Primordial Tide to break this saber strike!

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, a sliver of Spiritual Light appearing in his mind. Mid-swing, Qin Feng converted all of his Star River True Power into Chaos Water Tribulation Power and slashed upwards.

This single sword strike caused the minds of all who witnessed it to tremble and sway.

RUMBLE!

It was as if countless tides were roaring in their ears. The sea and sky seemed to have inverted as the sword light transformed into a surging ocean. Like the floods of Primordial Chaos, the seas and heavens overturned, churning and roiling unstoppably.

RUMBLE!

The saber light crashed into the endless waves. Countless waves were annihilated, but as the Void collapsed, layer after layer of new waves rose to fill the gap, continuously wearing it down.

This was the greatest strength of the Chaos Water Tribulation: its ability to annihilate and assimilate. Like the ocean accepting a hundred rivers, it could contain all things and even convert an enemy’s power into its own.

The immense momentum of the blazing saber, which seemed vast enough to fill the world, crumbled and dissolved upon impact.

"How is this possible? He can’t just have six types of Water Element Mystical Meanings! His comprehension of Water Element Mystical Meanings has actually reached such a stage!"

The stalwart elder sucked in a sharp breath. The magnificent power was soul-stirring, but most terrifying of all was how the waves, like a rolling snowball, grew larger and larger.

BOOM!

Amidst the shock, the saber light unleashed by the stalwart elder finally vanished without a sound after seven or eight breaths.

At the same time, the vast, ocean-like Chaos Water Tribulation began to compress, its colliding waves gathering the force of a mighty Thunderbolt as they charged toward the stalwart elder from all directions.

’This is bad!’

As terror filled him, a trace of anxiety flashed through his eyes. The stalwart elder could no longer be bothered with the newly formed Molten Rock Secret Realm inside him. A tide of golden Secret Realm Power surged out to protect his body.

BANG!

It was like an immense tide crashing down upon a golden reef.

The stalwart elder’s expression changed drastically. The Molten Rock Secret Realm inside him trembled violently, as if two continents were colliding. The nascent Secret Realm rumbled loudly.

It was like the sky collapsing and the earth sundering!

SPURT! A mist of blood sprayed toward the sky!

Secret Realm backlash!

Horrified, the stalwart elder unleashed a strike with his remaining Golden True Power. The saber’s speed was swift and fierce, pulling the airflow into the momentum of a Tornado Saber.

It tore through the ocean-like Chaos Water Tribulation Power, swiftly carving out a wide path.

He was a man of immense combat experience. He knew that if he continued to fight, he might be able to injure Qin Feng, but the probability of his own death was extremely high.

Qin Feng saw the stalwart elder’s intent to retreat, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

Qin Feng could tell that the stalwart elder had reached his limit.

’Should I finish off this Martial Arts Giant for good?’

’Forget it. A Martial Arts Giant is a Martial Arts Giant, after all. He must have only just reached the Martial Arts Giant Realm, with most of his energy tied up by his nascent Secret Realm. If I push him too far and he unleashes his full combat power, disregarding the state of his Secret Realm, I might not be able to defeat him!’

With that thought, Qin Feng retracted his Chaos Water Tribulation Power.

BOOM!

The surging power flowed back like a great river reversing its course, entering the black-clothed youth’s body.

SWISH! SWISH!

The sound of something slicing through the air was heard. A stalwart figure appeared a hundred zhang away. The elder’s face was pale, and blood stained the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the stalwart elder’s expression, the snow-haired girl’s heart trembled violently.

Clearly, the stalwart elder had been at a disadvantage in this intense battle.

The snow-haired girl could hardly believe her eyes.

A mere Martial Artist at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm had actually been able to completely suppress a powerhouse at the Martial Arts Giant Realm.

This was simply too terrifying!

"Am I dreaming?" Elsewhere, a young Qin Family disciple had a dazed expression, his eyes blank.

What was a Martial Arts Giant? In the entire Yan Kingdom, only the Yan Royal Family had one.

It was precisely because of this one Martial Arts Giant that the Du Family of the Yan Royal Family had been able to rule the kingdom for thousands of years.

And yet, an existence like that had been thoroughly suppressed by their own Venerable Lord.

"It’s not that simple!" As the Qin Family’s Grand Elder, Qin Qingyun was at a higher Realm and saw things more deeply.

"Judging by this Martial Arts Giant’s performance, his use of Secret Realm Power is very unpracticed, and he can only wield very little of it. This Martial Arts Giant must have just advanced to the Martial Arts Giant Realm. His Heaven and Earth Secret Realm hasn’t stabilized, and most of his power is being used to suppress it!"

"That’s right. The strength of a Martial Arts Giant is by no means simple. A Martial Arts Giant has already gone from Extraordinary to Saint. Not only do their status, Realm, and power change dramatically, but their lifespan also skyrockets from a limit of two hundred years to five hundred!"

Qin Qinghong nodded. "As everyone knows, the longer one has been in the Martial Arts Giant Realm, the stronger they are!"

The three Elders did not look as optimistic as the other young disciples.

The saying, "All are but ants beneath a Martial Arts Giant," was not just an empty phrase.

Despite this, the three of them were still exceptionally shocked.

To suppress a Martial Arts Giant while only at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm was simply unbelievable.

The stalwart elder’s expression was grim. He wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, glanced at it, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and took a long, deep look at the black-clothed youth several dozen zhang away.

"Let’s go!"

His figure flashed, appearing beside Shi Han. He grabbed the girl, whose expression was changing drastically, and with another flash, vanished into the Moonless Forest.

Qin Feng watched this scene with cold eyes, not stopping them.

If a Martial Arts Giant was determined to escape, no one could stop them unless a Martial Dao Great Power took action!

"CAW, CAW! Brother Feng, I can’t believe that in just a few months, your strength has grown to the point where you can even suppress a Martial Arts Giant!"

The sound of flapping wings was heard, and a weight settled on his shoulder. A Black Feathered Crow with smooth, jet-black feathers landed there, squawking.

"You’re not so bad yourself. You ate nearly half of my Spirit Medicines!" Qin Feng turned his head and snorted coldly.

Eighth Master gave a dry laugh, his eyes darted around, and he simply closed them, saying nothing more.

With the changes in the Chaos Celestial Secret Realm, all kinds of Spirit Medicines were growing well, maturing batch after batch.

All sorts of Spirit Medicines had been readily available for this rascal to feast upon.

Eighth Master’s feathers had become glossy and shiny from its recent diet.

Fortunately, this damn bird was smart enough to leave the roots, otherwise Qin Feng wouldn’t have let it off so easily.

Having driven off Shi Han, Qin Feng knew that with the girl’s intelligence, she probably wouldn’t come looking for trouble again anytime soon. However, he was certain there would be more entanglements in the future.

"Shi Han..."

He murmured to himself, a peculiar glint flashing in his eyes.

After resting for a moment outside the Mangrove Forest, the group immediately headed for the Moonless Forest.

Just as the Qin Family party entered the Moonless Forest, the Flower Empress appeared alone in its core. The place was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers. A gigantic Ancient Tree of Life stood tall, reflected in a silver, mirror-like lake. Endless Moonlight shone down, making it seem like a kingdom of life. Countless Fierce Beasts and Barbaric Beasts were all unusually docile and peaceful.

Gazing at the scene before her, a charming smile full of allure spread across the Flower Empress’s elfin face. She murmured to herself, "Qin Feng, this place will be your true doom. Forcing this Empress to take action personally... it doesn’t dishonor you!"

Her figure flickered and transformed, and she walked into the forest as a young girl with silver hair and green robes...
