The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.

“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.”

Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs.

After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch.

****

In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds.

The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei.

The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly with a sad face.

“Husband, aren’t we being excessive, leaving our child like that?”

The man smiled faintly, though his body trembled slightly at the question.

“He’ll be fine. If he can’t survive in such a small world, he’s not worthy of being my son.”

“Husband, why didn’t we take Tian’er with us? He could grow better, especially if he received your guidance; he could surely become a great expert in this universe.”

It turned out that the man and woman talking were Xiao Jian and Wangmei. The bodies killed in the Wang Kingdom were just replacements, not their natural bodies.

“Tian’er must find his path in cultivation. The hatred in his heart will make him grow faster. If he follows me, he might increase, but it would diminish his potential. Moreover, those who become true experts have lived through various hardships. Without hardship, pain, and humiliation, one cannot ascend to the peak of glory. Only those who have endured numerous challenges can stand at the pinnacle of cultivation. Now, it’s time for us to go. I can’t leave my clan any longer, or else a great catastrophe will occur in the entire universe.”

No matter what, Wangmei was a mother, and a mother’s worry was far more significant than a father’s. However, she couldn’t oppose her husband’s decision, who held the status of the Supreme God Emperor.

Xiao Jian held his wife’s hand and then walked across the stars.

After reaching a certain height, he tore through space and disappeared.

Xiao Tian sank into the great river, unconscious.

Various ferocious beasts approached to devour him. However, when the beasts were just a few meters away from him, Xiao Tian's body suddenly shone.

The light was so intense that it blinded the approaching beasts. They seemed confused and frightened, quickly retreating from Xiao Tian.

The scene was astonishing because these beasts were known to be extremely powerful and fierce. The weakest among them were level two beasts, equivalent to third-class warriors in the human realm. The strongest were beast kings, equivalent to earth king warriors in the human realm.

The beasts fled in fear from Xiao Tian's weak body. The light emanating from the minor child's body drove away all the ferocious beasts.

How could a child make such fearsome beasts retreat? What happened to Xiao Tian's body that allowed him to emit such powerful light?

After the beasts fled, the light disappeared from Xiao Tian's body.

****

At the calm riverbank, two figures were practicing together. One was a small girl, about eight years old, with her hair tied in a ponytail, fluttering in the wind. The other was an older man, standing tall and wise, watching the girl's every move intently.

The little girl was practicing sword techniques. Although the sword she wielded was just a wooden toy, her swings were lively and unpredictable. The wind complemented her swings, creating a mesmerizing rhythm.

"Ziyan Rouxi, it's time to go home. You've been practicing from morning till near sunset, making Grandpa waste a lot of time watching you," the old man sitting on a rock grumbled at the little girl.

"Grandpa, you finally have time to watch me practice, but you're already complaining so much. It seems you don't care about me at all!" the little girl pouted. Despite her young age, she looked lovely.

Before the older man could reply, he saw a small child's body drifting in the river's current.

"Wait, Grandpa!" the girl shouted.

"Where are you going? Don't...." Before Ziyan Rouxi could finish her sentence, she saw the child's body being carried by the current, not far from a high waterfall.

The older man ran into the water, retrieving the minor child's body—Xiao Tian.

After bringing him to the riverbank, the older man still heard Xiao Tian's heartbeat.

"This child is not dead." He immediately channeled his internal energy into Xiao Tian's body.

Xiao Tian suddenly coughed, expelling a lot of water from his mouth.

After continuous internal energy transmission, Xiao Tian began to open his eyes slowly.

When he fully opened his eyes, he saw the little girl's face very close to his.

Their eyes met.

"Are you the angel of death? Why isn't your face scary?"

Slap—

Ziyan Rouxi immediately slapped Xiao Tian's face.

"Ahh.... Why did you slap me?" Xiao Tian didn't understand why the angel of death slapped him.

"What did you just say? Angel of death? Do you want me to kill you?" Ziyan Rouxi was annoyed with being called the angel of death by Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian tried to get up but felt his whole body ache as if it were shattered.

After a while, he realized an older man was channeling his internal energy to heal his injuries.

"Don't move too much! Your body has suffered severe injuries. Let me heal you first."

    ​The North Sea Palace Ancestor formed hand seals, then he sat cross-legged in space exactly in front of the head of that dharma form. ​His position now was like the center of all the power that was gathering. The thousands of hands behind him continued to move, strengthening the technique that he was awakening. ​“Xiao Tian, this attack is named, the Thousand Stars technique. What you must know, those thousand stars are not just a mere expression, or stars made from divine energy. But these are a thousand original stars!” said the North Sea Palace Ancestor. ​Shen Jingyu who watched from below knitted his brow. He could not think why his father used his strongest technique just to test Xiao Tian's strength. ​He felt uncomfortable toward Xiao Tian, but he also could not stop his Father. Because that old man was so stubborn he would not listen to anyone's words when he had already decided something. ​“Senior, do what senior desires,” said Xiao Tian. ​The young man still stood in the

    ​The emptiness again became calm, but the hot temperature that was left behind had not yet fully disappeared. ​The air around the region still felt vibrating from the remaining heat that was left. Several clouds that were far in the distance had even evaporated completely, leaving the sky appearing much emptier than before. ​“Senior can propose the third attack,” said Xiao Tian. ​The North Sea Palace Ancestor was slightly silent. He still did not believe the attack of his millions of spears crumbled just like that. It must be understood, this second attack of his had already succeeded in annihilating so many strong figures in the ancient era, let alone the current era which has a limited number of True God Rulers. ​For a few moments, the old man did not immediately move. The sky which had just been hit by a large collision still left waves of pressure that were slowly fading. However his gaze never left the figure of the young man who stood in front of him. ​His gaze remained fix

    ​As those millions of spears came toward him, Xiao Tian waved his hand. “Fire World!” ​BUZZ!! ​In a blink of an eye a sea of fire imprisoned those millions of spears in the emptiness. That fire did not appear like an ordinary blaze. It exploded from a small point in front of Xiao Tian's palm, then expanded very quickly until it turned into an ocean of fire that filled the emptiness. ​That expansion did not stop only at the region where those spears were shooting. The fire continued to stretch in all directions, swallowing layer after layer of space until forming a wide expanse that truly deserved to be called a world. Inside that expanse, the boundary between sky, space, and emptiness became blurred. What remained was only waves of fire without end that blazed with Xiao Tian's absolute will. ​Tongues of fire radiated colors that were layered. There were red flames that blazed hard like living embers, gold that sparkled sharply, purple that glowed deeply, blue that vibrated coldly,

    ​As his aura increasingly increased, Xiao Tian waved his hand. He immediately made a protector that could encompass the Hundun Realm territory and its surroundings. If he did not do that, the North Sea Palace Ancestor's aura was already enough to make everyone who was watching die from being unable to breathe due to its pressure. ​The wave of power that he released did not explode loudly. On the contrary, it spread very subtly, like the surface of water expanding without a sound. From one point in front of his palm, a transparent protective layer immediately widened in all directions. ​That layer stretched across the sky of the Hundun Realm, covering the territory inhabited by the observers from various powers. For those who were beneath it, that protector was almost invisible. However once that layer was perfectly formed, the pressure from the sky which previously suffocated the chest immediately decreased drastically. ​Several cultivators who previously almost lost consciousness

    ​The dragon claw immediately descended from the sky with such great destructive power. Although that claw had a very far distance, everyone in the Hundun Realm and outside the Hundun Realm had difficulty breathing. The pressure caused was very suffocating to their chests. ​Along its trajectory, the windstorm that had been spinning in the sky was also pressed downward. Layers of rolling clouds immediately broke into chaotic currents, then were dragged following the fall of that dragon claw. ​Mountains in the distance trembled, the sea of clouds beneath the dark sky shook violently, and the entire atmosphere of the Hundun Realm seemed pinned by a single destructive will descending from space. ​The air throughout the entire region became heavy. Several cultivators who had lower realms were even forced to hold their breath because the pressure descending from the sky felt like a mountain falling from above. ​Even those who had lived long and stood in high realms still felt their heart

    ​Several North Sea Palace generals directly looked at each other after hearing those words. ​They did not doubt that Xiao Tian possessed extraordinary strength. However still, what he would face was the North Sea Palace Ancestor. ​“Are you sure?” asked the North Sea Palace Ancestor. He felt as if he was being belittled by a younger generation. ​The old man's gaze became sharper. Not because of anger, but because he wanted to ensure that the young man in front of him truly understood what he was saying. ​“Of course. I never say what I do not believe,” Xiao Tian replied. ​That answer made several people below again fall silent. ​Xiao Tian did not speak long. He also did not try to explain his abilities. For him, any explanation would not have meaning compared with the result that would be seen after those three attacks were truly released. ​The chat of those two although not loud, their voices were heard clearly by everyone. The Hundun Realm troops were not surprised by Xiao Tian
