After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 65:

Chapter 65: Slaying the Emperor, Destroying the Heavenly Xia Domain

“Even if you’re a 9th stage Heaven Tier Martial Emperor, it’s impossible for you to do this!”

“Who told you I was a 9th stage Heaven Tier Martial Emperor?”

Xia Feng spoke calmly. Then, with a thought, a faint divine pressure radiated from his body.

“That’s… divine might?” Emperor Xia Tian’s face instantly twisted in fear.

The other Martial Emperors were also stunned, their expressions quickly turning to terror.

“No… it’s not complete divine might. You’ve broken through to the Half-Saint Realm?”

Xia Tian, born of imperial blood and well-informed, immediately identified Xia Feng’s cultivation level.

“Mm.” Xia Feng smiled. “I haven’t reached the Martial Saint Realm yet, but taking care of you all is more than enough.”

“I was planning to play with you a bit longer, but when I checked the time… well, I still have two more imperial domains to visit.”

With that, a faint golden glow enveloped Xia Feng. He fully unleashed his strength, ready to end the battle as quickly as possible!

At this moment, Xia Feng held the Clear Snow Sword in his left hand and the demonic flute in his right. As long as someone was disturbed by the Soul-Capturing Demonic Sound, he would immediately use Cloud Elephant Heaven’s Might Slash to take their head!

In an instant, Xia Feng charged into the group of four Martial Emperors like a tiger into a flock of sheep—slaying one after another with ruthless efficiency!

Some tried to escape, but they were too slow. What greeted them instead was Xia Feng’s Thunder Judgment!

In the end, only Xia Tian remained.

“No… you’re a Half-Saint… you were born just over twenty years ago. How could this be possible…”

Xia Tian gritted his teeth, blue veins bulging on his forehead, still unwilling to accept the reality before him.

“Whether I’m a Half-Saint or not, those who died probably know better than you. And now… you’ve got no Martial Emperors left to command.”

“Next, I’ll kill you… and destroy your entire domain—just as you once joined them and did to my grandfather.”

Xia Feng’s voice was indifferent.

“Damn it! I should have reported to the Xia Emperor back then and had your reverse-bloodline exterminated to the last!”

“Xia Tianming really was blessed—dead for over twenty years, and still ended up with a freakish grandson like you!”

“But what do you think will happen next? Even if you defeat me, so what? The strength of the Great Xia Empire is beyond your imagination! If those great figures from the empire take action, you’ll be crushed to dust in an instant!”

“Are you done talking?” Xia Feng calmly dug at his ear as he looked at Xia Tian expressionlessly.

“You…” Xia Tian gritted his teeth.

“If you spare me, I’m willing to give you the entire treasury of the Heavenly Xia Domain.”

Seeing that threats didn’t move Xia Feng, Xia Tian changed his tone to pleading in order to survive.

“Keep my domain intact, and I swear I won’t report your presence to the Xia Emperor. That way, your whereabouts won’t be exposed.”

“You can take anything you want from the treasury. As for today, I’ll pretend it never happened. How about it?”

He looked at Xia Feng, offering the most generous terms possible.

First, he tried intimidation with the Xia Empire’s retaliation. Then, he offered to hide Xia Feng’s existence. Finally, he promised treasures beyond measure.

If it had been anyone else, they might’ve actually accepted this offer that came with all benefits and no risks.

Unfortunately for him, the one he was facing was Xia Feng.

“Not interested,” Xia Feng replied coldly.

Upon hearing that, Xia Tian’s expression instantly turned grim.

In the next moment, he suddenly activated a secret technique, compressing his dantian to its limits, exploding with speed several times greater than a Heaven Tier Martial Emperor, turning into a streak of light as he fled!

“You people of royal blood… if even half a sentence out of ten is true, it’d be a miracle.”

Xia Feng’s eyes turned cold as he also erupted with terrifying speed, chasing after that fleeing light.

He and the current Xia Emperor were already mortal enemies. Even if he spared Xia Tian today, would that old bastard really let him go?

Let’s not forget—it was the Xia Emperor who had ordered the three imperial domains!

The gap between the Half-Saint Realm and the Martial Emperor Realm was massive. No matter how much Xia Tian burned his blood or compressed his dantian, Xia Feng closed the distance faster and faster.

“No! You can’t do this! I’m the Xia Emperor’s son! If you kill me, you’ll die too!”

Xia Tian had already gone mad with fear.

“I’m the grandson of the former Emperor’s Son. If I don’t kill you, how will I face my grandfather in the afterlife?”

All he got in response was Xia Feng’s cold laugh.

Thus began a relentless chase—Xia Tian fleeing, Xia Feng pursuing—circling above the Heavenly Xia Domain for dozens of rounds.

Eventually, relying on his superior speed, Xia Feng caught up to Xia Tian.

“Divine Technique — Heaven’s Wrath! Divine Technique — Earth Shatter!”

To give Xia Tian “face,” he unleashed two Divine Techniques at once to crush him!

Facing the overwhelming killing intent of Heaven’s Wrath and Earth Shatter, Xia Tian fought back with everything he had.

But in the end, a Martial Emperor was still a Martial Emperor.

And a Half-Saint… had already transcended that realm.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed across the sky.

The ruler of the Heavenly Xia Domain—Xia Tian—was dead.

Xia Feng coldly walked up to the corpse, taking Xia Tian’s spatial ring and weapon.

“As expected of a domain emperor… even his weapon is a top-grade Dao weapon.”

He murmured as he examined the snow-white silver sword adorned with dragon patterns.

Then, as if cleaning up a battlefield, he collected the loot left by the other slain Martial Emperors.

Unfortunately, the three Martial Emperors he had killed earlier with Divine Techniques had been obliterated entirely—not even ashes remained.

Xia Feng couldn’t help but grimace in pain.

If he’d gone a little easier… he could’ve gotten so much more treasure.

…

After raiding the imperial treasury, Xia Feng had ten more storage rings in his possession.

As expected of an imperial domain—their collection of treasures was astonishing. Just the number of emperor-level martial techniques alone was twenty-six!

Not to mention the countless spiritual treasures, a few Dao treasures, and even low- and mid-grade Dragon Crystals!

At the Martial Venerable stage, spirit stones were no longer sufficient for cultivation.

They had to rely on Dragon Crystals—formed from supreme-grade spirit stones after absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy for a thousand years.

Dragon Crystals came in three grades: low, middle, and high.

Low-grade Dragon Crystals were suitable for Martial Venerables, middle-grade for Martial Emperors, and high-grade for Martial Saints.

Why? Because high-grade Dragon Crystals not only held massive amounts of pure spiritual energy, but also traces of heaven and earth’s laws.

Though rare, they were worth it—even Martial Saints would grind away at them day by day.

As for supreme Dragon Crystals, they contained massive fragments of heaven and earth’s laws—perfect for Martial Sovereigns to cultivate.

Looking down at the devastated Heavenly Xia Domain beneath his feet, Xia Feng wore a cold expression as he stepped toward the imperial palace.

“Cloud Mountain Palm!”

With a thunderous roar, a solidified giant palm spanning a thousand meters descended from the sky, slamming straight into the palace below!

Just like when he arrived.

But this time, there was no one left in the Heavenly Xia Domain who could stop this destruction.
