However, in the face of overwhelming accusations and threats, Su Chen remained utterly unfazed. Just because they came from the Outer Circle, did that mean he had to submit to death?
With a swift motion, Su Chen darted forward like a specter, his Golden Cudgel resembling the scythe of death as it effortlessly crushed the life force of the two old servants. He then leaped into the air, standing high above in the sky, his voice cold and piercing like ice, echoing through the heavens:
"Today, I, Su Chen, declare to the world: if you harm those around me, even if you come from the Outer Circle, I will pursue your descendants relentlessly! I will sever your lineage!"
A thunderous roar erupted, akin to a clap of thunder that reverberated in everyone's ears. Once these words were spoken, they swept across the Great Xia Empire like a tempest, stirring endless waves of turmoil.
In an instant, regardless of where they were, people looked up in unison with expressions of shock as they gazed at the sky, as if even the heavens had changed color. The name "Su Chen" gently fell into their ears; at first, it felt somewhat familiar, but soon it stirred up tumultuous waves within the hearts of many Shenzong experts.
They recalled not long ago when he had slain the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps in a stunning display that shook the land. Their hearts began to race uncontrollably.
Incredulous, they realized that in just one month, this person had transformed into such an astonishing figure.
Xia Wang stood high above, witnessing this scene with flickering eyes filled with complex emotions. Finally, he sighed deeply and resolutely took out a precious talisman, intending to use it to contact the Supreme Academy.
As an important figure within the Supreme Academy's lineage, he understood that only by enlisting such a powerful entity could he stabilize the current situation.
Meanwhile, after suppressing the remnants of the Holy Temple, Su Chen did not pause but continued to battle beasts to enhance his cultivation level, eager to break through to the Shenzong Realm as soon as possible. He was acutely aware that the threat from the Outer Circle hung over him like a sword poised for execution. Even though he possessed formidable backing with his Martial Spirit: Great Sage Equal to Heaven and Golden Cudgel, he knew that the Golden Cudgel's divine skills could only be used once a month.
What delighted him was the Jade Gourd. After Xiao Hulu's ingenious development, it revealed its hidden function: by infusing it with cultivation energy daily, it would produce vast amounts of Divine Thought Power.
At that same moment, on the boundless eastern sea surface, Sakura Kageken God Suzuki Kojiro sat gracefully on a small wooden raft, riding the wind and waves toward the distant shores of Great Xia.
Unbeknownst to him on the same voyage was a magnificent ship cutting through the waves. Onboard stood several figures with imposing presence, their gazes similarly fixed on Great Xia; they hailed from Sakurazumi Kingdom's Demon God Legion.
Among them stood out a striking figure—Shōtō Tamamo. Dressed in resplendent attire woven from neither silk nor satin but seemingly crafted from the most brilliant stars of the night sky, her robe was embroidered with intricate and mysterious totems. Each step she took caused her robe's edges to dance like dark orchids in the night, exuding an irresistible allure and charm.
Her beauty was undoubtedly sculpted by divine hands; her features radiated an otherworldly grace that transcended mortal realms. Her deep-set eyes seemed capable of penetrating into the very depths of one's soul.
A cascade of long, jet-black hair flowed like a waterfall, interspersed with strands that shimmered in an eerie purple hue, dancing gently in the wind and adding an indescribable air of mystery and wildness. Surrounding this figure was a peculiar blend of aromas—an intoxicating mix of wine and an exotic fragrance—that enveloped the atmosphere, luring one into a state of blissful oblivion.
Beside Shōtoku, a host of notable figures from the Sakurazumi realm gathered, including Tengu, Tamamo-no-Mae, Yuki Onna, and Kappa. Each possessed unique talents, contributing to the formidable strength of the Sakurazaki Kingdom alongside Shōtoku.
Unlike the beings of Great Xia, who awakened their martial spirits to gain power, the denizens of Sakurazumi Kingdom followed a different path—one that led to divine embodiment. They awakened as phantoms or deities, acquiring immense strength in the process.
Faintly, whispers could be heard among them:
