Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Xu Family Third Ancestor, Breakthrough of the Four Great Divine Origin Realms

Hearing Ye Feng’s departure, many felt a silent pang of regret.

Inside the Great Liang Imperial Palace.

The Empress’s voice, somewhat weak, echoed: “Sect Master Ye, are you in such a hurry to return to your sect?”

“Yes, I will return today.” Ye Feng nodded in response.

Just moments before, the Sect’s Crisis Awareness had sounded a warning!

It seemed a great battle was imminent!

“Perhaps the Demon-locking Tower is about to erupt… After slumbering for so long, is it finally time for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect to strike?”

Ye Feng’s brow furrowed in concern.

He couldn’t understand why the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect would dare to attack.

Setting aside his and Hu Feifei’s status as two Divine Origin Realm Great Powers, not to mention the leaders of the Four Star-Level Forces: County King City, Sword King Sect, Myriad Islands Alliance, and Divine Wind Sword Sect, who were now close to breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm themselves.

Perhaps they had already made the breakthrough.

In such a scenario, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect would face six Divine Origin Realms simultaneously.

Could they possibly prevail?

“If I were the old Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect, I would strike immediately after the descent of the Heavenly Dew and before the Sect Masters of the Four Two-Star Forces break through to the Divine Origin Realm; that would be the opportune time, when they are most vulnerable.”

“But to act now… wouldn’t that be ill-timed?”

“Could it be that the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect’s foundation is far stronger than I imagined, powerful enough to overwhelm several Divine Origin Realms?”

“Or perhaps… they have reinforcements?”

Ye Feng considered this possibility.

The next instant, he considered the Ancient Soul Clan’s seal in the Underground Cavern and the mysterious and unpredictable King of the Foreign Clan.

If the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect allied with the Underground Cavern Alien Race, they could indeed form a formidable force.

“Once I return, I must visit the Ancient Soul Clan to see if their seal has developed any issues.” Ye Feng thought to himself.

While he pondered, the others had finished packing.

Looking at the assembled party, ready to depart, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and said towards the Great Liang Imperial Palace, “Empress, urgent matters at my sect demand my attention. We shall meet again, if fate allows.”

“Until we meet again!” replied the Great Liang Empress.

Gazing at disciples like Wang Ping’an on the ground and the numerous Spiritual Beasts laden with bundles large and small, Ye Feng let out a soft sigh, waved his hand, and led them towards the Star Palace.

“These are actual stars!”

Ji Ziling stood on a meteorite the size of a fist, noticing its hard material that allowed it to float steadily in mid-air.

Even heavy Demonic Beasts like Mad Elephant and Niu Dali could stand firmly on it.

“Let’s go!”

With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng controlled the Star Palace, carrying everyone back to the Misty Sect, tens of thousands of miles away.

…

More than half a month had passed since the battle at County King City.

Various news spread rapidly, particularly about the Vine Giant, which had already become renowned throughout the entire Mystique Kingdom.

Mystique Capital.

A majestic and grandiose temple.

Ancestor Lingmiao sat cross-legged beneath an ancient tree, hearing the news about the battle at County King City, yawned, and said: “A mere Divine Origin Realm Demon Fiend poses no threat, even if she truly descended, this old Ancestor could suppress her with a single slap.”

“The Ancestor is mighty!”

Several Divine Origin Realm Great Powers kneeling nearby flattered in succession.

“However, that Ye Feng from the Misty Sect and Hu Feifei are somewhat intriguing. To cultivate to the Divine Origin Realm in the Southern River Basin, where Spiritual Energy is scarce, is indeed beyond this old Ancestor’s expectations.”

Ancestor Lingmiao murmured, his voice calm.

“Ancestor, should we summon them?” A middle-aged man draped in dragon robes, with a thick beard, asked.

“No need!”

Ancestor Lingmiao waved his hand, “Right now, the top priority is to prepare materials, construct a large Teleportation Array, and advance our Mystique Kingdom to a Four-Star Force.”

“Understood.” The dragon-robed middle-aged man nodded.

…

Several hundred miles away.

A vast complex of buildings covering dozens of miles.

“Hmph, what nonsense!” Xu Huamao slammed the table, his aura growing ever more formidable.

The Heavenly Dew was the golden opportunity for those on the cusp of becoming a Great Venerable to make a breakthrough.

But he had failed!

He was so close!

The reason was that at the critical moment of his breakthrough, he thought of the scene where he was utterly defeated by Princess Hu Feifei. His Dao heart became unstable, leading to his failure to break through, leaving him awkwardly close to the Divine Origin Realm.

“Hmph, worthless! To fail at such a good opportunity is most disappointing to me,” a voice full of contempt echoed from a high pagoda.

Xu Huamao quickly knelt on the ground and cried towards the distant pagoda, “Third Ancestor, it’s all Princess Hu Feifei’s fault. If she hadn’t defeated this junior, causing my Dao heart to become unstable, how could I have failed my breakthrough?”

“Hmph, the excuses of the worthless are always plentiful!”

Xu Family’s Third Ancestor coldly snorted, “But isn’t it that South Ming Country’s five major cities have taken control of a secret realm? In half a year, if you can obtain enough Spirit Consolidating Fruit, you can still attempt to break into the Divine Origin Realm.”

“Yes!” Xu Huamao’s eyes lit up.

Although this breakthrough had failed, there was still the Spirit Consolidating Fruit.

Moreover, his foundation was now extremely solid, and with the help of the Spirit Consolidating Fruit, a treasure of heaven and earth, a breakthrough was guaranteed to succeed.

“Let’s talk about the Spirit Consolidating Fruit later. Right now, there are more important things to deal with,” continued the Xu Family’s Third Ancestor.

“Third Ancestor, please speak,” Xu Huamao hastily suppressed his excitement, not daring to breathe too loudly.

“The Ancestor said that we of the Xu Family cannot lose face. In a few days, I will go with you to the Misty Sect to seek justice,” the Third Ancestor of the Xu Family said indifferently.

However, Xu Huamao could hear full confidence in the words.

“Third Ancestor, you’re going in person?” Xu Huamao’s eyes widened, clearly excited, “Could it be that you’ve made a breakthrough?”

“Indeed, after this Heavenly Dew, I have broken through two realms consecutively from the peak of the first layer of the Divine Origin Realm, entering the third layer of the Divine Origin Realm. Even the two Great Powers of the Misty Sect are no match for me.”

The more the Xu Family Third Ancestor spoke, the more serene he appeared, yet his words overflowed with arrogance and confidence.

“Divine Origin Realm third layer!”

Xu Huamao gasped, then suddenly pinched his thigh hard, feeling the pain, realizing this was real.

The Third Ancestor had advanced to the Divine Origin Realm third layer!

“Misty Sect, Ye Feng, Princess Hu Feifei, you all wait for me!”

Xu Huamao finally stood up, held his head high, and with his hands behind his back, walked through the vast Xu Family mansion.

Pouting slightly, he unleashed his full aura!

…

This Heavenly Dew had brought about a qualitative improvement for the Mystique Kingdom.

Many old fellows who were stuck at the peak of the Element Gathering Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm had broken through, enjoying the surge in lifespan and the robust vitality that came with it, their previously dim eyes now shining with newfound brilliance.

Myriad Islands Alliance.

Boom!

A terrifying aura soared into the sky as a giant dragon coiled itself in the void, creating wave after wave of momentum.

“Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong has successfully broken through!”

“Congratulations to the Alliance Leader!”

“This marks the first Divine Origin Realm power for our Myriad Islands Alliance; from now on, we’re also qualified to ascend to a Three-Star Force.”

The Blue Dragon King, Mo Minxi, and others took a long breath of relief.

With Alliance Leader Mo Tianlong’s successful breakthrough, the burden pressing on their hearts finally lifted, and they relaxed.

Sword King Sect.

Clang!

A massive sky-reaching sword soared into the heavens, spanning a kilometer and seemingly capable of splitting the sky, churning the wind and clouds and drawing countless swordsmen to worship.

“Hail to the Sect Master’s breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm, safeguarding our Sword King Sect’s glory and prosperity for thousands of years!”

The followers of the Sword King Sect knelt and shouted.

Jiang Baige, the chief true disciple, knelt on the ground, looking at the sword that seemed to cut through the sky. He clenched his fists tightly, filled with aspiration.

Divine Wind Sword Sect.

Clang!

A sharp sword also soared into the sky, but without the momentum to split the heavens, it radiated an intense sharpness instead.

Rip!

With a gentle vibration of the sword, endless sword might spread over dozens of miles, dissipating the wind and clouds in the area.
