Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Ning Wang flew into a rage, silencing those in the hall who harbored similar thoughts, and none dared to mention the matter again.

"My esteemed ministers, deploy the war according to the original plan. I will do my best to find a way to get reinforcements here sooner. Also, regarding the Sea River Tribe matter today, no one is allowed to mention it outside this hall!"

He emphasized the last sentence, carrying a sharp warning.

He was worried that the matter would spread and reach his daughter's ears.

With his daughter's filial piety towards him, she might make choices against her own will for his grand cause.

......

After everyone withdrew, Ning Wang remained in the hall, frowning at the war sandbox, silent for a long time.

Among those who withdrew, two civil officials secretly gathered at a certain residence in the city.

"Brother Zhen, what do you think of this matter?"

"Ning Wang forbids mentioning it, he truly dotes on Princess Anning. But the border city is in critical condition, and the always ruthless and decisive Ning Wang now has the benevolence of a woman."

The official surnamed Zhen sighed, his words expressing considerable dissatisfaction with Ning Wang's decision.

"Indeed, if Ning Wang wants to ascend to the throne, what does sacrificing his daughter matter? Besides, it's just marrying Princess Anning to the Xie family of the Sea River Tribe. It's not like the Xie family wants Princess Anning's life."

Another official surnamed Wen said this.

"Brother Wen, we are now trapped in the border city. As officials here, holding important positions, leaving is absolutely impossible, that's a capital crime, and might even implicate our families. But are we really going to sit and wait for death? Reinforcements cannot come, the border city is isolated and without help. Although there are still two million border troops who can fight, it is foreseeable that the border city will be breached by the Wu'an army sooner or later. At that time, it will be the end of you and me!"

"Brother Zhen is right, there is no hope for the border city. This time, the Wu'an army is determined to break through this city. They have gathered eight million troops, and we only have three million. As the war continues, the border troops will eventually be exhausted. When the city falls, not only you and I will die, but our families will also be destroyed because of it! How can the two of us just sit and wait for death?"

"Why not do this? Aren't Xie Qian and the others staying at the border city inn? We'll have assassins disguised to go to the border city inn and secretly spread this news. That way, who would think that we spread it? Ning Wang wouldn't find any evidence, and would probably think that the Sea River Tribe people spread it."

"This is a good idea. Princess Anning is very filial. Over the years, she has spared no effort to assist Ning Wang in completing his grand cause. If she knows this news, she will definitely agree to a marriage alliance with the Sea River Tribe to repel the Wu'an army. At that time, Ning Wang will have no reason to refuse, unless Ning Wang publicly breaks ties with the Sea River Tribe. In that case, the border city can be preserved, our lives can be preserved, and our families will not be in danger."

......

At the same time, the border city inn, the largest and most luxurious inn in this border city.

Xie Qian and two young men beside him were drinking in a private room, smiles on their lips, their faces full of contentment.

"Young Master, do you think that Ning Wang will agree?"

A young man next to Xie Qian asked this.

"Ning Wang has no choice," Xie Qian said confidently, "There are many civil and military officials in the border city, not everyone is afraid of death, they will advise Ning Wang. As the war progresses and the border troops suffer increasing casualties, Ning Wang's will will only become more and more shaken. We can just wait quietly."

"Young Master wants to obtain Princess Anning so much, is Princess Anning as beautiful as a celestial being?"

"The most beautiful woman in Qingzhou, what do you think?" Xie Qian's face revealed a look of reminiscence, and he said, "I still remember the first time I saw her ten years ago, this young master was amazed by her beauty. In these ten years, this young master has been in seclusion, how could I miss this opportunity now? Moreover, Princess Anning not only has beauty, but is also a person who is well-versed in strategy."

"If our Xie family wants to occupy the land and harvest land resources, we need to use Qingzhou as the first station. If this young master marries Princess Anning, and then supports Ning Wang to ascend to the throne in the future. If Ning Wang dies, we will push Anning to the throne. At that time, the entire Daqian will be under the control of our Xie family. If we can defeat the Wu'an Dynasty, then the entire Qingzhou will belong to us!"

"Wonderful!"

The two young men revealed expressions of amazement, never expecting that the young master and the elders of the clan were plotting such a major event.

"Well, in the words of the family elders, a golden age has quietly arrived, and more and more opportunities will appear in the world, with the land being the most important. This time, the ancient tomb in the border city is just the tip of the iceberg of the golden age. Our Xie family is the royal family of the Sea River Tribe, with sleeping Overlord Saint realm ancestors. In the future, controlling Qingzhou and seizing the various opportunities in Qingzhou will allow us to continuously grow and reach an unprecedented peak. Since ancient times, so many great forces have risen in the golden age, and who can rise depends on whether they can seize the opportunity."

......

Half a day later, a piece of news spread from the border city inn, and it immediately became a hot topic, quickly spreading throughout the city.

Two maids of Princess Anning are in this city to inquire about news of the border city war, and after learning the news, they are both angry.

The people of the Sea River Tribe actually want to marry the princess?

In addition to their anger, they immediately wrote a talisman letter to Anning.

When Ning Wang learned that this matter was spreading in the city, his face turned ashen, and he shattered the table in the hall with a palm.

"Bastard!" His chest rose and fell violently with anger, and he hurriedly said, "Immediately block this news, and definitely don't let Ning'er know! Also, quickly find out who spread the news. If it wasn't spread by the people of the Sea River Tribe, but by our own people, imprison him in the dungeon, and after the border city crisis is resolved, I will settle accounts with him!"

After arranging these things, Ning Wang paced back and forth in front of the war sandbox, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, and he couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples.

......

In the mountains behind the border city, a talisman letter appeared in front of the cave where Jun Wuxie and Anning were in seclusion, blocked by a barrier.

After the Primal Chaos Avatar discovered it, sensing that the talisman letter was for Anning, he quietly opened a gap in the barrier.

The talisman letter entered the cave and flew to Anning, flashing with light.

Anning sensed it, withdrew from her cultivation, and stretched out her hand. The talisman letter steadily landed in her hand.

Reading the contents of the talisman letter, Anning felt heavy-hearted, and there was a complex look in her eyes, which eventually turned into a long sigh.

"Who gave you the talisman letter, what is the content of the letter?"

Jun Wuxie naturally noticed the fluctuations of the talisman letter and also withdrew from his cultivation.

After more than ten days of cultivation, devouring the Great Saint realm expert and dark energy, his martial arts cave heaven star sea has become much stronger, and the path from the peak of the Saint realm extreme heavenly position to perfection has already passed more than halfway.

Anning, who was slightly distracted, saw him wake up and wanted to hide the talisman letter, but it was too late.

Because Jun Wuxie reached out and took the talisman letter into his hand.

Seeing his face become more and more gloomy as he read the contents of the talisman letter, Anning felt inexplicably flustered and couldn't help but explain, "I won't agree, you have to believe me!"

"I don't think you would agree, what are you panicking about?"

Jun Wuxie looked at her with some surprise and said, "I'm just wondering, what is this Xie family of the Sea River Tribe, that its young master actually wants to covet you, it's really interesting."

"Ah, I thought, I thought..."

Princess Anning's face suddenly turned red as she spoke. She thought that Yue Wuxie was angry with her because of this, but it turned out to be wishful thinking.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Jun Wuxie asked. Anning is the person he will support in the future, the future emperor of Qingzhou. He will never allow her to marry someone else, otherwise, is Qingzhou still the Qingzhou under his control? Wouldn't it be making a wedding dress for someone else?

"I won't agree, can you believe me?"

Anning looked at him earnestly with her beautiful eyes, her eyes extremely firm.

The reason why she had such a complex mood just now was because she was lamenting her own life.

If she hadn't met Yue Wuxie before, facing such a situation, when the border city was unable to recover and was about to be breached, she might have made such a decision for her father, for the Daqian rivers and mountains.

But she met Yue Wuxie, so it was impossible for her to do that, and she also knew that he would definitely not allow her to do so.

"Of course."

Jun Wuxie nodded, shattered the talisman letter into a rain of light, and closed his eyes again, saying, "Cultivate, I see that your talent growth intensity has broken through a level, continue to use those resources, and you can make another breakthrough. As for the border city matter, you don't have to worry, with me here, the border city won't be breached. As for the Xie family of the Sea River Tribe, just let it go, if they dare to jump around, I'll make them regret it!"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Anning didn't know why, but she only felt that her heart suddenly settled down.

Young Master Yue said that with him here, the border city would not be breached, and she believed that the border city could be defended.

Because she believed that he would never say this just to comfort her.

......

The border city war is still continuing. Every two days, the Wu'an Dynasty will launch an attack, consuming the number of border troops.

Each time the war ends, the border troops bring back a large number of corpses, which are placed on several streets in the city, stretching for several miles.

The fallen soldiers are covered with white cloth, but the white cloth is quickly stained with blood.

Whenever this time comes, the city is filled with sorrow, and many people who help collect the corpses are in tears, crying while cleaning up the remains of the martyrs.

On and outside the city walls, smoke billows, and the ground is full of broken spears and broken armor. The soil is dyed red with blood, soaked into a blood-colored mud, mixed with minced meat.

War is cruel, this is a hellish scene.

Like blood, the setting sun, in the slightly dim twilight, from time to time a flock of crows and vultures fly over, making croaking sounds, adding a bit of desolation to this city and battlefield.

Just at dusk on this day, within the mountain range behind the border city, a tsunami-like momentum erupted from the stone cave in that mountain peak. The brilliant golden light illuminated every inch of the cave walls, making them appear resplendent.

Vigorous golden blood energy overflowed, sweeping like waves, one after another, startling Anning from her cultivation and prompting her to quickly circulate her true energy to protect herself.

Even so, she was still pushed back into the corner by the impact of the golden blood energy, her true energy barrier deformed, giving her a feeling of churning blood and energy.

"Golden blood energy? How could Young Master Yue have golden blood energy?"

She looked in shock at him, who seemed to be breaking through his realm. This kind of blood energy was too terrifying, so vigorous that it was suffocating.

Just the blood energy that naturally overflowed during the breakthrough was enough to prevent her from standing firm!

"A body cultivator, golden blood energy, could he be…"

Princess Anning suddenly remembered the secret wanted order she received more than half a year ago. Considering that he came from a great place, she seemed to understand something at this moment.

"Is he really Jun Wuxie, the person on the wanted list? Body cultivator and golden blood energy match perfectly. There are many people in this world who cultivate golden true energy, but golden blood energy is hard to find in all of history…"

Princess Anning was almost certain that he was that person. The golden blood energy matched, and he came from a great place. If he wasn't wanted, why would he come to such a remote place as Qingzhou?

This grand momentum lasted for a full half-day before gradually subsiding.

The golden light faded, and Jun Wuxie still sat there cross-legged like a statue.

At this time, his soul had already entered the Weapon Burial Ground, using a special medium to make it seem as though the Weapon Burial Ground was forging his soul, but in reality, it was simultaneously acting on his physical body.

Saint Realm, Limitless Heaven Realm, Perfection!

He opened his eyes and saw Anning looking at him with a strange gaze, and couldn't help but say, "You guessed it, right? That's right, I am the person on that secret wanted list."

"Who you are ultimately isn't important to Anning. Anning only knows that you are Yue Wuxie of the Qingyun True Martial Peak, the person who went to Hanzhou and saved Anning from a desperate situation."

"It's best if you can think that way."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he took out a True Martial Blood Pill and swallowed it directly.

Instantly, vast life essence surged, and the domineering True Martial Sword Intent impacted his meridians and limbs as if they were being torn apart.

Too violent!

Jun Wuxie hurriedly slowed down the speed of refinement.

He had still underestimated the domineering nature of the True Martial Blood Pill and the vastness of its life essence. He had almost been unable to withstand it and exploded when he tried to refine it at the fastest speed earlier.

The life essence of the True Martial Blood Pill surged towards his limbs like a roaring river, frantically tempering and strengthening his physical body.

Jun Wuxie concentrated his mind and calmed his heart, circulating the Primordial Golden Body Technique to separate the source from the life essence and integrate it into his bloodline source.

At the same time, after circulating several cycles through his limbs, the vast life essence surged towards the Martial Dao Cave Heaven and merged into the Sea of Stars.

Massive amounts of high-quality life essence quickly condensed into stars.

This speed was too fast, many times faster than when he devoured the cultivation of Great Saint Realm experts.

At this time, whether it was his Cave Heaven, his physical body, or his bloodline source, all were rapidly transforming.

Two hours later, a violent momentum erupted from his body again, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting.

At the same time, he only felt a buzzing in his head.

In an instant, a wonderful feeling surged into his heart. He only felt that he had instantly stepped into a magical realm, and his strength instantly doubled.

Saint Realm, Limitless Extreme!

He didn't expect it to be so fast, breaking into the Extreme Realm domain in just two hours.

Moreover, the trend of his rising in the Extreme Realm domain did not stop at all, and the transformation of his physical body was still continuing.

After another two hours, the grand momentum sounded again, and every pore on his body was spewing out life energy, and the golden glow in the cave was incomparably brilliant.

Saint Realm, Limitless Extreme, Minor Perfection!

The aura on his body was increasing every moment.

Princess Anning was dumbfounded.

Breaking through realms like this was too perverted, and it was still in the Extreme Realm domain.

What exactly was that pill, that it had such an incredible effect?

But even if the effect of the pill was against the heavens, who could immediately attack the Extreme Realm when they had just broken through a realm?

She wouldn't have dared to think about this kind of thing before.

She also cultivates the Extreme Realm, but she has to settle down for a long time each time before daring to try, and each time she attacks the Extreme Realm, it is quite difficult and takes a long time.

Gradually, she became more and more shocked.

Because she discovered that he had broken through in the Extreme Realm domain, but he was still in the Extreme Realm domain. What was going on?

After the Extreme Realm, shouldn't it be Half-Step Saint King?

"Could it be that Young Master Yue's Extreme Realm has several realms?"

She was once again subverted in her understanding. Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of anyone's Extreme Realm having several realms. The Extreme Realm is the Extreme Realm, and there is only one realm.

…

As time passed, Jun Wuxie finally completed the cultivation of the Extreme Realm domain and stepped into the Half-Step Saint King Realm.

Princess Anning clearly remembered the number of times he broke through in the Extreme Realm.

His Extreme Realm domain actually had three realms, two more realms than others!

Rumble!

In the process of Jun Wuxie attacking the Saint King Realm from the Half-Step Saint King Realm, his body suddenly burst out with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

That golden light was more brilliant than ever before, like a luminous divine sun, and the aura that permeated it made Princess Anning almost unable to breathe, with a kind of indescribable and intense pressure.

He broke through. This time it wasn't a realm, but a talent growth domain, stepping into the tenth heaven of the Mythical Realm!

Moreover, the entire trend did not stop. His bloodline was still evolving, his physical potential was still improving, and his realm was continuing to advance towards the Saint King!
