Chapter 85: The Shock of a God-Sealed Powerhouse

The surrender of the Great Snow Dynasty shattered the will of the remaining three powers.

To preserve their bloodlines and legacies, they too submitted.

True to her word, Summer Zixuan granted them territories. As long as they remained peaceful, she would not interfere.

With the absorption of four major forces, two dynasties and two kingdoms, Daxia’s strength skyrocketed.

Daxia officially ascended to Imperial Dynasty status.

Though still far from the realm of Empire Dynasties, the leap was monumental.

For Summer Zixuan, it was enough.

Upon ascension, her cultivation surged like a rocket  breaking through the Purple Palace Realm and entering the Manifestation Realm.

She didn’t stop until she reached the Fourth Layer Manifestation Realm.

Such rapid advancement was jaw-dropping.

Once she exhausted the dynasty’s fate energy, she would be able to reach the Cave Heaven Realm in short order.

This was the power and risk of the Imperial Physique.

If the dynasty fell, her cultivation would collapse, and her fate would plummet. Death would be inevitable.

Those who walk this path either become emperors or perish.

Her rise also elevated the Daxia royal family.

Many broke through one to four layers of cultivation. Manifestation Realm became the new standard.

The three old ancestors, having exhausted their potential, chose not to enter death trials. Instead, they enjoyed their final days with family and passed peacefully.

The Ye Clan also benefited.

Their fate surged. Cultivation levels rose across the board.

Yue Rushuang and Sikong Mingyue broke through to the peak of the Manifestation Realm.

Zhao Qingge and Mo Sijun advanced toward the late Purple Palace Realm.

Though less gifted, they didn’t mind. They preferred raising children not just their own, but everyone’s.

As a result, the children adored them.

Ye Wushang remained unaware of all this.

He was deep in seclusion.

[Consumed 10 million Fate Points. Your Blade Intent has reached the Eighth Layer.]

BOOM~~!

His body exploded with power.

Blade intent surged, transforming, expanding, and roaring across the heavens.

A new level of blade comprehension erupted.

BOOM~~!

The Eighth Layer was achieved.

From the Ye Clan’s rear mountain, a blade aura tore through the sky terrifying and divine.

Within ten million miles, blade cultivators trembled. Some couldn’t even hold their weapons.

Ye Zhen, resting nearby, opened his eyes in awe.

“Manifestation Realm Eighth Layer Blade Intent… truly a peerless prodigy.”

He had seen countless talents. But Ye Wushang was beyond comparison.

Perhaps following him might restore my lost foundation.

Ye Wushang had no idea his ancestor was now eyeing him with renewed hope.

After half a month, he finished refining the blade intent.

From Layer Seven (Great Completion) to Layer Eight (Peak) the final stages are the hardest.

He opened his eyes. A flash of divine light passed through.

“My strength has skyrocketed. But it’s not enough. My essence is at its peak. It’s time to break through.”

He released his restraints.

Power erupted.

His cultivation surged from the Eighth Layer Manifestation Realm toward the Ninth Layer.

His Supreme Bone, Sacred Physique, Dao Seed, Divine Eyes, and Dragon Blood Pool all activated.

BOOM~~!

A divine roar echoed. His body exploded with power.

Ninth Layer Manifestation Realm achieved.

He stabilized his realm over ten days.

Then, he took out the Breakthrough Card.

He crushed it.

Dao rhythms and divine light entered his body.

His body rang like a bell. His Dantian, Soul, and Essence fused.

Purple light surged.

His Purple Palace trembled as if the heavens were being remade.

After an unknown time, a crisp sound rang out.

A beam of light exploded from his Purple Palace.

A new world formed.

Cave Heaven World born.

Purple energy flooded in, expanding the world.

Most Cave Heaven cultivators started with 1,000 meters. 3,000 was elite. 5,000 was prodigy-level.

Ye Wushang’s world passed 5,000 meters and kept growing.

10,000 meters…

20,000…

30,000…

40,000…

BOOM~~!

Eventually, it reached 99,999 meters, the absolute limit.

His heart thundered like a divine drum.

Each beat circulated his blood through the Cave Heaven World, refining his body.

Finally, a divine aura erupted.

WHOOSH~!

The pressure of a Cave Heaven Realm expert spread in all directions.

The entire Ye Clan felt it as if a divine world was pressing down.

Ye Zhen opened his eyes again.

“Such terrifying pressure… far beyond ordinary Sealed Marquis cultivators. Unbelievable.”

He was speechless.

In all his years, nothing had shocked him more than his time at the Ye Clan.

And it was all because of Ye Wushang.

Even the children of his descendants were prodigies.

Seeing them, Ye Zhen’s first instinct was to hide them.

Not a single one is ordinary.

He even considered locking Ye Wushang up and using him as a breeding stallion.
