The assault on the formation continued, and Palace Master Chen had dispatched three more demigods to join Chi Qiubai and Sikong Yang!
How many demigods did the Xia Clan even have?
At this point, keeping secrets was nearly impossible, especially since the operation had already been exposed—now the demon generals knew everything! There was no point in maintaining secrecy anymore, so when Palace Master Chen sent the three demigods led by ‘Lord Bu,’ he did not demand discretion.
“What? Dongbo Xueying has mastered the second-tier True Intent?”
On a flower boat, the bald, wiry old man Chao Qing had been happily drinking wine and watching the dancing beauties on board. Of course, he was also using the power of the Heavens and Earth to scan an area spanning thousands of miles for traces of demons. But now, the message from Sikong Yang left him in disbelief.
“This… he’s mastered the second-tier True Intent? Is this real?” Old Chao Qing hurriedly questioned, “How come there wasn’t even a whisper of this before? We didn’t even hear that Dongbo Xueying had grasped the Prototype of the second-tier True Intent. Now you’re telling me he’s mastered it?”
“Brother Chao, how could I possibly lie about something like this? Actually, back in the Chiyun Mountain World, Dongbo Xueying had already grasped the Prototype of the second-tier True Intent. But you know… how massive the implications of this are! Before this, in our Xia Clan’s history, there had only ever been one such person. If the Demon God Cult and the Witch God Temple got wind of this, they would stop at nothing to kill Dongbo Xueying. That’s why we’ve kept it secret all this time!”
“That makes sense. You all did the right thing. But then why are you telling me now?” Old Chao Qing pressed.
“This time, Dongbo Xueying single-handedly stormed a minor transcendent world, destroying one demon lair after another, as you know. The abyssal demons had established nests in five minor transcendent worlds, and now two have already been destroyed. We’re currently attacking the third! But this third demon lair is a bit special, and the operation has already been exposed. The demon generals are aware of it now. So there’s no need to keep it secret anymore!”
“Haha, I see! Now that the demon generals know, an old fellow like me finally gets to hear about it too,” Old Chao Qing laughed heartily.
This caused the dancing beauties and musicians on the flower boat to exchange puzzled glances.
Why was the old man laughing to himself like that?
But since the old man paid well, they dared not ask too many questions.
“Tell Dongbo Xueying to be careful! The third demon lair is a bit special, and his safety is most important,” Old Chao Qing sent the message. “He’s still young. After a few hundred years, he will truly sweep across the heavens and earth! All the other demigods combined won’t be his match. Neither demon generals nor the Demon God Cult will pose a threat anymore!”
Old Chao Qing was brimming with excitement.
In history, when the Xia Clan ancestor who mastered the second-tier True Intent appeared, that era was one of absolute dominance for the Xia Clan!
It was perfectly normal.
For example, when a god was born, or when a certain extraordinary demigod emerged, their race would dominate an entire era! Like in history, when the Orc Clan produced a god, they dominated an entire era, forcing the Xia Clan to hide in the Ember World.
Transcendence—and even divinity—were all about individual cultivation, so individual strength could sometimes be incredibly powerful and terrifying. One person sweeping through a group was perfectly normal.
Dongbo Xueying had only just mastered the second-tier True Intent, and already he was showing his brilliance, single-handedly annihilating a group of powerful abyssal demons!
He didn’t even need to solidify his Divine Core. Once his second-tier True Intent reached the ‘Triple Realm’ stage… he would be able to completely dominate an era! He would be invincible in his time!
“This kid really is something else,” Old Chao Qing grinned. At this moment, other Xia Clan demigods were also discussing this matter with him, because practically every Xia Clan demigod who received the news—except those from the Demon God Cult—was incredibly excited and delighted. The emergence of such a figure meant that the Xia Clan was about to dominate an entire era!
Dominating an entire era was an exhilarating thing! The Xia Clan’s foundation would grow even stronger during this period, and their lives would become far more comfortable.
“I could tell this kid was special from the beginning. My judgment has always been pretty good,” Old Chao Qing felt deeply satisfied. He could feel his own gradual decline, and in fact, before his death, witnessing the demons’ invasion had filled him with grief and anger!
Because the demons’ arrival would lead to the deaths of countless Xia Clan transcendents! And countless ordinary people would perish!
It pained him deeply!
But he was powerless to change it. He could only do his best to kill demons. He couldn’t change the tide!
But today’s news made Old Chao Qing incredibly happy. First, the demon lairs were doomed—those not yet eliminated would quickly retreat on their own. The number of Xia Clan transcendents dying in the future would drop drastically! And Dongbo Xueying’s growth had already sounded the death knell for the demon generals, and heralded the Xia Clan’s dominance over an entire era!
“Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Back then, he was scolded mercilessly by Sikong! I was afraid he’d fall into despair, but Unexpectedly he remained calm and composed. He never wavered from his path! Probably because of that… later he grasped the Prototype of the second-tier True Intent,” Old Chao Qing quickly deduced. “Too bad this was kept secret. Otherwise, I would’ve loved to see how swollen Sikong’s face was back then.”
Old Chao Qing chuckled happily, filled with pride.
This day was the happiest he’d had in a thousand years. Though he himself was nearing the end of his life, he had witnessed the rise of a figure destined to be immortalized in Xia Clan history! And he had seen the Xia Clan’s prosperity for the next few thousand years!
…
It wasn’t just Chao Qing. Every Xia Clan demigod was filled with excitement. This great news had come so suddenly, with no warning at all beforehand.
They all understood that with Dongbo Xueying’s rise, the entire world’s balance of power would change!
Previously, things had seemed precarious, but now the Xia Clan’s strength would continue to rise, ultimately completely overwhelming the demons and the Demon God Cult.
Of course…
They were also slightly worried about the situation inside the minor transcendent world. After all, the third demon lair seemed to be somewhat special? But with absolute confidence in someone who had mastered the second-tier True Intent, they believed that this attack would at most encounter some trouble, and Dongbo Xueying wouldn’t be in any real danger.
…
They were all anticipating it eagerly. The five demon generals were also anticipating it eagerly. The Demon God Cult, upon receiving the news, was furious but could only hope as well.
The Xia Clan had full confidence in Dongbo Xueying.
The five demon generals and the Demon God Cult, however, were pinning their hopes on the ‘Time-Space Temple Reincarnators’! The reincarnators of the Time-Space Temple traveled through countless worlds, and no reincarnation team could be underestimated—they were capable of creating miracles. They also believed that since the Time-Space Temple had assigned this mission, this team must have the strength to complete it!
Hope.
Both sides were filled with hope, both sides were waiting.
In the minor transcendent world, only Saint-level transcendents could enter. Now, sending a few Saint-level transcendents in? Or desperately sending fifth-tier demons in was already useless. Moreover, the Xia Clan demigods were guarding the spatial rifts outside. Sending fifth-tier demons in would likely just be sending them to their deaths.
…
Inside the minor transcendent world.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” More than half of the formation that surrounded the demon palace had already been destroyed. The remaining formations were also shaking precariously, their energy rapidly depleting.
