Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge waves churned within the river, and the surging tides threw up a sky full of white mist against the banks.

Xiao Yi's figure was swallowed up by the river water in an instant, disappearing without a trace, while Ye Feng and Zhang Tianyi stood by the riverbank and pursued downstream.

After chasing for over thirty miles, Xiao Yi's whereabouts were still nowhere to be found.

"Over thirty miles, even at our peak, survival would not be possible..."

"Damn it, one misstep leads to eternal regret! How could the two of us not have been on guard for Xiao Yi jumping into the river? What do we do now?"

Naturally, the two men weren't grieving over the death of a rabbit or the sorrow of a fox—they were lamenting Xiao Yi's passing.

They were simply regretting that they were unable to extract the many secrets from Xiao Yi.

Ye Feng spoke in a heavy voice, "It's better that he's dead!"

Before his mind flashed the words Xiao Yi had said before jumping into the river, that even gods and demons must listen, what an overbearing aura. Even gods and demons were to obey his commands, abide by his vows. Discover hidden content at empire

Zhang Tianyi fell into silence for a moment, his eyes cold with a hint of gloom: "Even if he not dead, what is there to fear? If we could kill him once, we can kill him a second time!"

"Enough!"

Ye Feng took a deep breath and looked towards the depths of the secret realm, "The ancient tomb is right ahead, we should hurry and head over there!"

The two men immediately left.

...

The river water was turbulent, like a raging dragon tossing and turning.

Downstream from where Xiao Yi had jumped into the river, a hundred miles away, there was a waterfall.

Rumble!

The waterfall cascaded down three thousand feet, the massive column of water like an angry dragon falling from the sky, slamming viciously into the pool below, sending waves hundreds of meters high into the air.

All of a sudden...

Xiao Yi was washed away by the swift river water, plummeting from the waterfall. The fall was three thousand feet high, and if he were to crash into the pool, it would surely be a dead end.

But at this critical juncture.

A crack sounded from his embrace, followed by a small figure surrounded by a faint silver glow that wrapped around Xiao Yi, its silver light turning into a silver sphere.

Shielding Xiao Yi's body, it smashed into the pool with a thud.

Then the silver figure twisted its body, carrying Xiao Yi deep into the bottom of the pool. In the pitch-black depths, hundreds of meters down, suddenly there was a light.

The silver figure, taking Xiao Yi with it, dived right in.

In the quiet cavern within.

Suddenly, bubbles burst forth from the crystal-clear lake, popping the moment they surfaced, with a streak of silver light flashing up.

It was the silver snake, clutching Xiao Yi as it surged out from the water.

Both man and serpent landed on the lakeshore.

The silver snake wove around Xiao Yi's chest, sensing the life force within him growing fainter and fainter. Determination and an almost human resolve flashed in the snake's eyes. Opening its mouth, it revealed two needle-like fangs.

Pff!

It struck right above Xiao Yi's heart.

Thump! Thump!

Xiao Yi's heartbeat suddenly became rapid and powerful. His pale face flushed with color, but the silver snake seemed listless, lazily sprawled on his chest, occasionally lifting its head with a human-like worry in its eyes.

In the darkness.

A magnificent voice, like thunder rolling across the sky, shook the heavens, its sound captivating all realms: "Without destruction, there can be no establishment..."

"Only through destruction can there be renewal!"

Inside Xiao Yi, the God Sealing Seed suddenly boomed, and the power of God Sealing fell like oil onto the fire of hope: "I am a General who commands the heavens, destined to battle against the heavens and earth, to seal gods and suppress demons, invincible in all the world..."

Rumble!

In the darkness before Xiao Yi, a sun appeared, its radiant light expelling vast swaths of darkness.

Boom!

The dark world violently burst apart.

At the same time...

Xiao Yi's eyes suddenly snapped open, and in his mind emerged a path, his path of martial arts, the path of the invincible!

Almost at the very moment Xiao Yi grasped this path of the invincible, in the deepest part of the ancient Eternal Tomb, among the nine pyramid-like tombs, the one on the far left trembled violently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But it was quickly suppressed by the might of the Eternal Tomb!

Golden light circulated around Xiao Yi, and inside him, the God Sealing Seed came to life, as countless forces of God Sealing surged out, converging at his dantian.

The cyclone condensed, spinning wildly, and at the same time, it rapidly shrank.

Eventually, it turned into a black pill the size of a walnut.

"With me, invincible!"

Xiao Yi's countenance was dignified, and amid a cold shout, the power of the God Sealing Seed frantically assaulted the black pill. Amid the crisp cracking sounds, the dark shell of the black pill shattered, breaking away piece by piece.

A strand of golden light brought forth patches of golden rainbows.

Finally, it transformed into a walnut-sized Golden Core, floating in the center of his dantian.

Xiao Yi's cultivation officially entered the Golden Core Realm!

Above this Golden Core, a golden ring slowly emerged, indicating the First Layer of the Golden Core Realm. The ring was inscribed with profound and mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and vicissitudinous oppression.

Sssss!

The silver snake in his embrace shrank in fear, curling up in Xiao Yi's arms, basking in the golden light. Its body, originally pure silver, slowly gained threads of gold.

Boom!

The vital energy of the First Layer of the Golden Core Realm within Xiao Yi surged wildly into the God Sealing Seed, like a vast ocean pouring into rivers, completely activating each and every God Sealing Seed.

Two thousand.

Two thousand five hundred.

Three thousand...

The number soared to five thousand before finally stopping.

The force of the five thousand God Sealing Seeds converging turned back into his body. After stepping into the Golden Core Realm, this power from the seeds became even stronger!

With Xiao Yi's current First Layer of the Golden Core Realm cultivation, even without using the Blood Explosion Skill, he could easily vanquish a practitioner of the Fourth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.

"Five thousand God Sealing Seeds, should be enough to inherit his legacy, right?" Xiao Yi's eyes shone.

The breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm and the devouring of Xina's heaven and earth vital energy alleviated the weakness caused by his excessive blood loss.

Xiao Yi's figure flashed as he entered the Eternal Tomb.

His eyes sharpened, falling upon the tomb that buried the Sword Demon Dugu, his eyes brimming with an eager fighting spirit, and Sword Intent surged forth like mad: "Suppress!"

Hum!

Between his palms, a "Suppress" character inscription fell like a towering mountain.

Rumble!

The entire tomb exploded with a blast.

A man dressed in green robes, tall and straight like a pine, with pride like a sword, stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were as sharp as sword edges, forbidding others to look directly. His gaze rested on Xiao Yi.

An earth-shaking Sword Intent soared to the heavens.

The number one expert of the Blue Star Realm, Sword Demon Dugu, became the sword, and the sword became him, reaching the realm where man and sword were one.

He pointed a single finger, yet it seemed as if a divine sword hung in the sky!

This sword shone with thousands of glimmers, like a great sun towering in the sky, slashing down towards Xiao Yi.

"Claim... Life!"

God Sealing force around Xiao Yi condensed into a sky-piercing sharp sword. This sword, like a meteor tearing through the sky, collided fiercely with another sword light. It was a clash of needlepoint against wheat, with terrifying power spreading in all directions.

He did not use the power of the God Sealing force to overpower the Sword Demon Dugu; instead, he chose sword against sword!

This was the dignity and pride of a swordsman!

Clink clink clang!

Sword techniques collided, and the two fought countless exchanges.

Xiao Yi's sword moves constantly evolved, while the Sword Demon Dugu simply swung his sword in the simplest manner. No sophisticated sword techniques were used, yet they contained the essence of the great way.

The sword follows the heart.

Truly powerful swordsmen rely not on sword techniques, but on Sword Intent!

Everything moves with the heart.

Where the thought goes, the sword edge follows!

With this realization,

Xiao Yi no longer used sword techniques, but simply wielded his sword against his opponent, the duel flowing like clouds and water, becoming more and more proficient. After a bout, without any hesitation and devoid of any sword technique, Xiao Yi swung his sword.

Pff!

With that sword, he cut off a strand of Sword Demon Dugu's hair.

The Sword Demon Dugu startled, a meaningful smile spread across his face, his figure flickered, and he turned into a ray of light that entered into the God Sealing Seed, transforming into an aloof silhouette standing with hands behind his back, gazing up at the sky.

At the same time...

Xiao Yi's mind received the life-long sword understanding of Sword Demon Dugu. His Sword Intent reached a new level, attaining the state where the sword follows the heart!

Beyond that.

There was also a set of sword techniques known as the "Solitary Nine Swords"!

If measured by the standards of this era, this set of sword techniques would be considered a high-grade fourth-tier technique. When combined with the second phase of Sword Intent, where the sword follows the heart, it would be comparable to a fifth-tier sword technique!

"The First Layer of the Golden Core Realm, second phase of Sword Intent, aided by the 'Solitary Nine Swords'. With my current combat power, even without the Blood Explosion Skill, I should be able to kill someone at the Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Realm."

A hint of anticipation appeared on Xiao Yi's face: "Ye Feng, Zhang Tianyi, clean your necks and wait for me..."
