Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Martial God incarnate? Nothing more than that!"

Xiao Yi's voice carried a fervent fighting spirit.

His words seemed relaxed, but his mind was actually stretched to its utmost tension.

After all, this was the legendary Martial God Zhao Wuji!

Though the restrictions of the ancient tomb had suppressed his cultivation to the First-layer Earth Venerable Realm, his combat power was definitely not to be underestimated. The mere fact that he had shattered the Hurricane Divine Shield with his flesh and blood fists was testament to his terrifying strength.

After all...

When he had previously fought with Yang Dingtian and others in the Cloud Dream Temple,

none of them had managed to break through the Hurricane Divine Shield!

Zhao Wuji's face was expressionless, as the wild, innate power surged within him, forming a circular shockwave on his shoulder, like an invisible ring of energy encircling his arm.

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

Ring after ring of energy shockwaves built upon each other,

Gathering at the fist and palm.

With a thunderous boom,

This attack, formed by the layering of energy shockwaves, crashed down on Xiao Yi's body with a roaring impact.

"Within my Fierce Dragon Nine Transformations' Shocking Character Decree, its power layers upon layers, enough to blast a Fifth Layer Earth Revered. You..."

Zhao Wuji sneered with self-satisfaction, but before he could finish, the smug smile on his face completely crumbled, replaced by a mix of astonishment and confusion. "This is impossible..."

Hum!

The violent energy shockwave slammed fiercely into Xiao Yi.

The frenzied energy, which could kill a Fifth Layer Earthly Venerable, dissipated upon him into circular ripples, spreading out in all directions through the void. Below the fragments of energy, Xiao Yi's lips curved into a mocking sneer, slowly enunciating, "Zhao Wuji, you've aged! Now, it's our era!"

Thump, thump, thump!

Zhao Wuji's face suddenly changed, and he staggered back three steps.

His face alternated between shock and uncertainty.

The venom in his eyes flickered, and Xiao Yi's words—you've aged—stabbed into his heart like thousands of poison-dipped needles.

Pain!

Piercing to the bone!

Zhao Wuji roared with clenched teeth, "Nonsense! I am the Martial God of Qingtian Realm, invincible as I am, existing as long as the heavens, enduring as the earth. How could I possibly age? I will not—I cannot—grow old..."

Xiao Yi's smile gradually faded as he snorted coldly, "If I say you're old, then you're old!"

Boom!

A stream of light shot into the sky.

The Divine Sealing Tree materialized behind Xiao Yi.

The towering Divine Sealing Tree, magnificent and imposing, reached into the heavens,

Standing within the ancient heavenly tomb.

Rustle, rustle!

The Sealing God Leaves on the tree quivered slightly, emitting a dazzling golden light, like starlight.

Scattered randomly, they gave off an extremely bright and sacred sensation.

"What is this..." Zhao Wuji's face showed terror.

The Divine Sealing Tree struck a deep fear into his heart.

"Just submit obediently!"

Xiao Yi extended his arms out to his sides, flat and wide.

Golden light rose from beneath his feet, enveloping his figure as he slowly lifted into the air, his eyes gleaming with the sharpness of the sun, "Heaven-sent sealing of gods, supremacy only to me..."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Leaves from the Divine Sealing Tree began to fall, drifting down from their branches.

The Sealing God Leaves, twinkling with brilliant golden light, had distinctly clear golden veins. Under Xiao Yi's control, these leaves danced in the air. Like a swarm of gold-lit fairies, they sometimes fell like rain, sometimes moved with the wind, and at times gathered in clusters.

Over one hundred thousand Sealing God Leaves, under Xiao Yi's finger, lost all their leisureliness.

Amidst a piercing whizzing sound.

Over one hundred thousand Sealing God Leaves whooshed together to form a giant gold sword, its blade shimmering with dazzling golden light.

With a whoosh.

The golden giant sword slashed down from the high sky.

The entire void began to shake violently, the overwhelming energy sealed off all directions of heaven and earth, and with a booming sound, the sword gleaming sharply chopped fiercely towards Zhao Wuji.

"No..."

Zhao Wuji's eyes split open, his eyeballs a bloody red.

That golden giant sword filled him with despair.

He pushed his innate powers to the extreme, and amidst thunderous roars, punch, palm, finger, sword...

The Martial God of yore.

The martial techniques he possessed were, naturally, unparalleled.

But...

No matter how formidable Zhao Wuji's attacks were, they all turned to ash under Xiao Yi's golden sword, annihilated between heaven and earth.

He watched in wide-eyed desperation as the sword broke through all defenses.

Zhao Wuji showed a hint of despair, his resentful gaze dead set on Xiao Yi: "Even as a ghost, I will not let you go..."

"A ghost?"

Xiao Yi scoffed and shook his head, "You're no match for me as a human, as a ghost, how could I possibly fear you?"

Boom!

The gold sword slashed down.

Zhao Wuji was split in half.

At the same time...

The blade of the sword buzzed and cracked open, reverting back into the Sealing God Leaves that filled the sky.

Whizz whizz whizz!

As the Sealing God Leaves spun and flew, they attached themselves to Zhao Wuji's body one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they completely enveloped Zhao Wuji. With a buzz, these golden Sealing God Leaves swept up Zhao Wuji and flew towards the towering tree behind Xiao Yi!

Hum!

Zhao Wuji fused onto the Divine Sealing Tree, and those hundred thousand-plus Sealing God Leaves then dispersed, returning to their respective places.

Only Zhao Wuji...

He was wrapped in a faint layer of golden light.

Visible to the naked eye, it condensed into a bud waiting to bloom.

"A flower? Could it be that sealing the powerhouses of ancient tombs in the Divine Sealing Tree yields flowers?"

Xiao Yi gazed at the cluster of buds, a sudden flash of insight coming to him as he murmured to himself, "I wonder if, once this flower blooms, it will yield some kind of fruit!"

This was the Divine Sealing Tree, after all.

The fruit that formed on the Divine Sealing Tree would undoubtedly be extraordinary.

Hissss!

The bud grew at an astonishing pace, blossoming in the blink of an eye. Soon, the petals withered away, but a fruit appeared on the branch. The fruit was entirely red, covered in silver patterns, quite mysterious, yet it contained a wondrous energy fluctuation. Immediately, he swallowed the fruit.

The fruit melted in his mouth.

As Xiao Yi digested the fruit, a tremendous amount of information suddenly emerged in his mind.

It was everything Zhao Wuji learned in his life.

This was the true inheritance of the Martial God!

For a moment.

Xiao Yi's mind was filled with tens of thousands of memories of martial techniques, deeply ingrained in his soul. Except for a lack of proficiency, he had mastered them all. This was far more powerful than when he had suppressed the strong and gained a part of their inheritance at the first layer, virtually leaving no place to hide, transferring all abilities.

"Just as I expected, this is how a Martial God's inheritance should be!"

Xiao Yi's lips curled into a slight smile, just as he was about to try out several cultivation techniques, Little Lin's anxious voice came from outside, "Boss, something's happened..."
