Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie naturally trusted Ning Wang's handling of matters, never doubting his prudence and ability.

"There must be no mistakes in sending warships to the key passes and towns."

Although he trusted Ning Wang's abilities, he couldn't help but remind him.

In preparing to face the powerful enemy, every aspect of preparation and arrangement had to be flawless.

The links in the plan were all interconnected.

The troop deployment was an indispensable link!

If something went wrong here, even if the opponent didn't see through the plan and things still developed according to their plan, the losses would still be devastating.

Even if they won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory. Of the seven million soldiers on the border, it was unknown how many would survive.

With the Wu'an army numbering in the millions, if they advanced directly, the seven million border troops, even with home-field advantage, would not be able to gain the upper hand.

"I've sent the three most cautious people. One is in front, one is behind, and they maintain constant contact using special methods, leaving contact marks along the way. The third person is responsible for checking the marks, reading the information, to determine whether the tasks of the first two are going smoothly, and then constantly reporting back to me."

"That puts my mind at ease."

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he summoned the refined Saint Weapons. A chorus of sword sounds and a cold, sharp light illuminated the entire room, causing the temperature inside to plummet.

Feeling such sword intent, the hairs on Ning Wang's skin stood on end.

"This is..."

Looking at the dozens of Saint Swords with flashing cold light floating in the air, Ning Wang's pupils contracted violently, his expression shocked to the point of being dazed, his only right hand tightly gripping the wheelchair armrest.

"Top-grade supreme Saint Weapons, and dozens of them are all that!"

Ning Wang found that his mind was not working properly, feeling like it was about to crash.

Top-grade supreme Saint Weapons were weapons that one wouldn't even dare to dream of, their precious value immeasurable.

If two equally matched Half-Step Overlord Saints were to fight, and one of them held a top-grade supreme Saint Weapon, then they could kill their opponent within a few rounds!

Top-grade supreme Saint Weapons were so powerful that the maximum power they could unleash was even stronger than a full-force strike from a Half-Step Overlord Saint cultivator, equivalent to being infinitely close to the Overlord Saint level!

A Great Saint Extreme Heaven Peak or Perfected expert, wielding a top-grade supreme Saint Weapon, could suppress a Half-Step Overlord Saint; the latter could kill a Half-Step Overlord Saint!

"Distribute these weapons to the experts around you and the commanders in the army. Also, these war spears, give them to the high-ranking generals in the army."

Jun Wuxie also took out the sixty-odd war spears. "The army I've mobilized will lie in wait outside the city, waiting for the Wu'an army to enter the trap. Then, they will enter the city at the fastest speed. At that time, you will seal off the border city, not allowing anyone to leave, and not allowing anyone to transmit information. Try to block the news. What we need now is time. Also, Qingzhou will definitely be unified in the future, so try not to kill the Wu'an army if possible."

"Okay, don't worry, I know what to do." Ning Wang came back to his senses, looking at the weapons floating in front of him, and said, "In just a few days, where did you get so many top-grade high-level and supreme Saint Weapons?"

"I refined them myself. Otherwise, do you think I could get these things in five days? Not to mention Qingzhou, even in Hanzhou, could you buy dozens of top-grade supreme Saint Weapons?"

Ning Wang's lips trembled a few times, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He was too shocked. What kind of methods were these?

In just a few days, he had refined so many top-grade high-level and supreme weapons.

Even a Fourth Realm Saint Artifact Refiner, let alone other Saint Artifact Refiners, couldn't have such speed. Perhaps even a Fifth Realm wouldn't have it.

His weapon refinement speed was heaven-defying, and his weapon refinement skills were also heaven-defying!

Most artifact refiners could only refine a few top-tier weapons in their lifetime, which was already a miracle, enough to burn incense and laugh in their dreams.

As a result, this young man actually refined a pile of them at once.

If other artifact refiners knew about this, he wondered if they would be so angry that they vomited blood.

While he was amazed, he was also filled with emotion.

This young man appeared out of nowhere in Qingzhou, because there had never been any trace of him before.

His existence was destined to change the future fate of Qingzhou.

This era was not peaceful, it was a great era of upheaval.

Ning Wang now also saw that the events of this era were far beyond what someone like him could control.

If a great era truly arrived, then even a grain of sand of the era falling on one's shoulders would be enough to crush them.

How many people in the world could withstand the wheels of the era, and become the trendsetters in the great waves of the era?

This young man in front of him was undoubtedly such a person. He would write the future of Qingzhou in this era!

He was gratified that his daughter could be with such a man.

At this moment, the only trace of frustration and unwillingness in Ning Wang's heart had completely disappeared.

He knew it wasn't that he was not capable, but that the opponent was so strong that it was beyond comprehension.

His opponent was a heaven-defying person, not something that ordinary strength could contend with.

Such a person had the posture of being invincible in the world. If he could continue on, he would definitely be respected by all races in the future!

How could a small king like him, who was seeking the throne in Qingzhou, compare to someone who had the hope of standing at such a high level?

Jun Wuxie looked at Ning Wang, and from his expression and eyes, he seemed to see his heart.

This was the first time Ning Wang had not been defensive in front of him, which surprised him.

It was extremely rare for a person to not be guarded, allowing others to see into their heart at will.

"Have you completely let go?"

Jun Wuxie understood his thoughts. The only thing that could make him do this was to truly let go, truly recognize the current relationship and status, and have an incomparably sincere heart, so that he dared to open up and let people see.

"I've let go. The ruler of a country is no match for the ruler of a city in the future. Now, when I think of the so-called grand ambitions of the past, I can't help but laugh."

Jun Wuxie nodded, "Your eyes were on Da Gan before, but my eyes are on the entire starry universe. In the future, even a small official position in the imperial court will be worth countless times more than the throne you once wanted to obtain, beyond calculation."

"I'll give you something."

Jun Wuxie took two steps forward, placed his palm on Ning Wang's shoulder, and a steady stream of pure energy poured into his body like a mountain torrent.

This was the energy obtained from devouring Overlord Saint realm experts!

Jun Wuxie had killed several Overlord Saint realm elders of the Ding family in Yecheng, Hanzhou, and their corpses were preserved in the cave heaven.

At this moment, he was devouring the corpse of one of the elders, using the Millstone of the World to purify karma, and instead of using the Primordial Golden Body Art to transform it into life essence, he directly injected the energy of true qi type into Ning Wang's body.

"This is... what kind of energy is this? How can it be of such high quality! It feels like it's of a higher level than the energy I cultivate myself. Could it be Overlord Saint level?"

Ning Wang was shocked beyond words. Who exactly was this young man? What kind of things did he have on him? Every time, he could shock him.

"Your soul has reached the Overlord Saint level, but your cultivation is stuck at the Half-Step Overlord Saint realm, lacking corresponding high-quality resources, making it difficult to break through. Now, these Overlord Saint-level energies can just help you break through."

As he said this, he injected some purple Lightning Tribulation Liquid into his cave heaven, saying, "Your limbs are incomplete, and you will have a slim chance of surviving the tribulation in the future. The origin of lightning in this Lightning Tribulation Liquid is very precious. Although it can't increase the strength of your physical body at this realm, it can derive lightning runes in your bloodline, increasing your body's resistance to lightning and helping you to overcome the Overlord Saint Tribulation."

Lightning Tribulation Liquid?

Ning Wang had seen legends about Lightning Tribulation Liquid in an ancient book.

Lightning Tribulation Liquid was said to be a gift from the heavens that could only be obtained when one had passed the ultimate heavenly tribulation.

He had never thought that he would have a day to obtain Lightning Tribulation Liquid.

The strength of the Lightning Tribulation Liquid was not high. Judging from the power contained within, it should have been obtained by Yue Wuxie when he was undergoing tribulation before the Saint realm.

This showed that he had already been able to safely pass the ultimate heavenly tribulation before the Saint realm!

Jun Wuxie ignored Ning Wang's shocked expression, and just kept devouring the Ding family elder at the Overlord Saint realm, and transferring the energy to him.

This process lasted for most of the day, until dusk, when he stopped.

He had only devoured a small portion of the corpse of that Ding family elder, but this was completely enough for Ning Wang.

"I know you have been wanting to break through to the Overlord Saint realm these years, but you can't rush the matter of cultivation. The situation in the border city is currently complicated. It's better for you to focus your mind on the safety of the border city. Anyway, you won't be able to break through before the war comes. Instead of being distracted, it's better to wait until the matter is over before you try to break through."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, his body disappeared into the void.

In the blink of an eye, he returned to the valley where Jing Ya lived.

He summoned the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King and shared the Minor Space-shifting Art with him through soul sharing.

Because the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King was his contracted battle beast, and had an extremely close soul connection, it could well obtain his experience and insights on this art from his soul sharing.

It closed its eyes and digested it for a moment, and then tried to cast the Minor Space-shifting Art under Jun Wuxie's guidance.

It failed many times at the beginning, but Jun Wuxie patiently explained and interpreted, giving it careful guidance.

Gradually, the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King was finally able to barely cast it.

It was just a little awkward. After hiding, it couldn't sneak, and it would easily be exposed as soon as it sneaked.

Jun Wuxie silently guided it until late at night, explaining in detail all the problems it encountered.

"I've guided you on everything I could. The rest is up to you to slowly comprehend. There's still time. In these days, you can completely cultivate it to the point where you can use it normally."

Near midnight, Jun Wuxie stopped guiding and left the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King, walking towards the elegant small courtyard near the waterfall pool, next to the green jade bamboo forest.

The night in the middle of winter was a little cold. Under the faint moonlight, in the elegant small courtyard, there was a graceful figure standing under the pink and white plum tree.

Jun Wu Xie entered the courtyard and saw Jing Ya holding a thick stack of clothes in her hands.

“The clothes I made for you last time, there shouldn’t be more than two sets left, right?”

Jing Ya came forward holding the clothes, her soft black hair flying in the cold night wind. The moonlight shone on her cyan feather coat, the specks of feather flowers shimmering with a hazy light, making her look especially beautiful and dreamlike.

“Mainly because sometimes when cultivating…”

Jun Wu Xie was a little embarrassed. Aunt Jing had indeed only left him with two sets of clothes.

Sometimes it was because of battles, and sometimes it was because breakthroughs were too violent, which could cause the clothes to be damaged.

“I knew this would happen, so Aunt Jing made some more for you. If Aunt Jing's cultivation recovers a bit more, I can use high-quality materials to sew clothes for you, so they won't be easily damaged.”

Jun Wu Xie took the clothes from her hand, put them away, and said, “I think it’s good as it is. It’s late, Aunt Jing, you should go back to your room and rest.”

“You will be entering the ancient tomb tomorrow.” Jing Ya shook her head and said softly, “Talk with Aunt Jing tonight. Once you leave, who knows how long it will be before you come back.”

Jun Wu Xie didn't know how to answer.

Indeed, the ancient tomb was unknown, and no one knew what level of ancient tomb it was, or what it was like inside.

Once he left, it might be ten days and a half months, or it might be several months…

“When you enter the ancient tomb, you must be careful. Not only should you guard against those who want to kill you in the ancient tomb, but you should also pay attention to the hidden dangers of the ancient tomb itself…”

“I know, don’t worry.”

Jun Wu Xie peeled off two drops each of the origin essence blood of the powerhouses he had killed during this period, put them in a small space bottle, and then put it in Jing Ya's hand.

Then, he took out a True Martial Blood Pill and gave it to Jing Ya together, “Just as Aunt Jing said, I don’t know how long it will be before I come back after this trip. Judging from the current situation, the longer I stay in the ancient tomb, the greater the changes that will happen outside. These things are for emergencies.”

The moment Jing Ya saw the True Martial Blood Pill, a strong look of surprise flashed in her eyes, the more she looked at it, the more shocked she was.

Although a certain aura in the blood pill was already very weak, almost non-existent, she still sensed it.

She didn't expect that the True Martial Blood Pill left by the ancestor of True Martial Peak would have such a great background.

Although the essence blood used to refine the blood pill had been infinitely diluted, because the owner of the essence blood was extremely profound and powerful before his death, even if it was infinitely diluted, it still had amazing effects.

In the blood pill, the life essence was diluted, only the origin fragments were not diluted much.

This one True Martial Blood Pill alone could repair half of her injuries.

But using it only to heal injuries would be too wasteful.

The origin in this pill can strengthen and stimulate the potential of the bloodline, even for someone like her, it can improve the intensity of talent growth!

“Aunt Jing, what’s wrong?”

Jun Wu Xie saw her staring at the blood pill in a daze, and couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.

“Ah?” Jing Ya came back to her senses and smiled, “Aunt Jing is fine, I just think this blood pill is extraordinary and a little surprised.”

…

Jun Wu Xie spent the whole night talking with Jing Ya under the plum tree in the courtyard, taking in the scenery of the late winter night with the faint moonlight.

Until the next morning.

He walked to the Blood鬃 Lion Dog Beast King, gave him a True Martial Blood Pill, and also gave him the beast core he had given him before.

Since he didn't know when he would return from this trip, Jun Wu Xie considered it again and again, and for the sake of stability, it was safest to let the Blood鬃 Lion Dog Beast King break through to the Overlord Saint realm as soon as possible.

To break through to the Overlord Saint realm, high-level resources are needed, and beast cores are the most suitable.

But even so, it will still not work in a short time, unless his talent growth intensity breaks through to the Mythical realm.

When talent breaks through to the Mythical realm, the comprehensive strength in all aspects will be greatly improved. If he simultaneously impacts the Overlord Saint realm at the moment of breakthrough, he can greatly increase the chance of success.

But to evolve to the Divine Beast bloodline and step into the Mythical realm, he still needs to fuse some Divine Beast essence blood.

Now, of course, it is impossible to find other Divine Beast essence blood, so Jun Wu Xie can only choose to use the True Martial Blood Pill instead.

“Wait until after the crisis in the border city is over before breaking through.”

Jun Wu Xie exhorted him in this way, and then summoned the Primordial Incarnation and left the incarnation behind.

In this way, no matter what happens outside, he can clearly understand it in the ancient tomb through the incarnation.

“Yan Ning, let’s go.”

Jun Wu Xie shouted into the small courtyard. Xu Yan Ning, with a spiritual drum hanging on her waist and a holy sword on her back, walked out of the house and quickly came to him.

“Wu Xie, take care.”

Jing Ya didn't move, standing under the plum tree, with some pink and white petals falling on her hair and shoulders, she seemed unaware.

“I will.”

Jun Wu Xie nodded, and then said to the Blood鬃 Lion Dog Beast King: “Protect Aunt Jing, no matter what, you must not let her encounter any dangerous threats!”

The Blood鬃 Lion Dog Beast King nodded, watching Jun Wu Xie and Xu Yan Ning leave, their figures quickly disappearing into the valley.

Only the Beast King and the Primordial Incarnation were left here, as well as Jing Ya standing in the courtyard.

“I don’t know why, but the closer the time for the ancient tomb trip and the opening of the ancient tomb gets, the more uneasy I feel in my heart…”

Jing Ya's heart could not be calmed, which was also why she always couldn't bear to let him leave when facing Jun Wu Xie's imminent entry into the ancient tomb.

Possessing the Heavenly Dao Fruit, even if the Dao Fruit has not yet awakened, this feeling is by no means unfounded.

She knew very well that this was not just concern causing confusion, but that there was probably a real crisis lurking in the ancient tomb.

Last night, she had already told Jun Wu Xie about her feelings, and repeatedly urged him to be cautious and protect himself.

…

The border city was particularly noisy today.

The streets and alleys in the city were discussing the ancient tomb.

Half a year ago, the matter of the ancient tomb showed clues, and then the ancient tomb appeared in the eyes of the world, thus erupting a war between the two countries, fighting endlessly.

Today, the ancient tomb is finally about to open.

Many people flocked to the northeast area of the city, either climbing high buildings or standing in the air, watching from a distance.

It's just that the distance is a bit far, and it's in the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, so you can't see it very clearly.

When Jun Wu Xie and Xu Yan Ning came to the northeast area of the city wall, they found that everyone was already waiting here.

Ning Wang didn't come, An Ning was here waiting for him with many powerhouses, as well as the powerhouses in the army, and his master Cheng Yuan Zhenren and his senior brothers and sisters.

“There must be hidden dangers in the ancient tomb, Wu Xie, you must be careful on this trip.”

Cheng Yuan Zhenren stepped forward and said this.

“Junior brother, take care!”

His senior brothers and sisters said one after another.

Jun Wu Xie nodded, gave them a reassuring look, and then left the city under their watchful eyes.

Xu Yan Ning and An Ning followed behind him, as well as a large group of Ning Wangfu's Half-Step Overlord Saints and the powerhouses in the army.

Arriving near the ancient tomb area, they landed on a mountain peak.

Other mountain peaks nearby were each standing with people.

There were people from Wu An's side, but not all of them were from Wu An, more of them were the powerhouses from the Seven Killing Tower, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, and the Soul Severing Valley behind them.

They disguised themselves as young cultivators, trying to paralyze him, but they were seen through by his pupil technique.

The people of the Sea River Clan did not disguise themselves. There were nine powerhouses in total, three clans of the Sea River, three people in each clan.

Whether it was Wu An or the three clans of the Sea River, there were no cultivators of this generation, they were all powerhouses from previous generations or earlier.

On the Royal Academy's side, there were four people in total. They all looked like young people, but in reality, only two of them were real young people, and the other two were foundation powerhouses who had lived for tens of thousands of years, in the Half-Step Overlord Saint realm.

It's just that they disguised and hid themselves very well, thinking that they were seamless.

Jun Wu Xie's pupil technique saw everything clearly.

“Come on, let's join forces to open the gate of the ancient tomb, don't delay any longer, enter the ancient tomb as soon as possible to find opportunities!”

The powerhouses of the three clans of the Sea River stepped into the air and landed in front of the ancient tomb.

“What you said makes sense, this ancient tomb has been around for a long time, and today it can finally be opened.”

The people on Wu An's side also followed and landed in front of the ancient tomb, and then the people from the Royal Academy also landed in front of the ancient tomb, preparing to join forces to open the tomb door.

Jun Wu Xie stood on the mountain peak and watched these people indifferently, competing to open the tomb door, not because these people were eager to contribute more.

They just wanted to go in first. If entering would not be randomly teleported, then they could ambush at the entrance.

He knew that these guys must be planning this.

Jun Wu Xie didn't want to argue with these people, it would only be a waste of words.

These people would not miss such a good opportunity to ambush and kill him.

“Young Master Yue, in the current situation, they want to…”

A commander-level general in the army also saw through those people's thoughts, with a worried look on his face.

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jun Wu Xie, “It doesn’t matter, let them perform. Since they want to do the hard work of opening the tomb door, we’ll just watch. When they open it, we’ll go straight in, wouldn’t that save effort?”

The muscles on the commander's face twitched slightly when he heard this.

He couldn't understand why Young Master Yue would give up competing with those people, knowing that being at the very back was very bad, and that life safety could not be guaranteed and it would be easy to be ambushed.
