As the surging essence qi entered his body, that dizzy feeling finally began to fade away gradually.

Xu Yang greedily absorbed with abandon!

All this purest essence qi was something he had deliberately stored up before the battle.

But during the fight, he hadn't used it—instead, it came in handy now.

Song Yuanhao lost!

Although not dead, at this point it didn't matter much to the current situation!

The key was Can Sutian!

Can Sutian had gone into seclusion to break through to the Body-Burning Realm; just now his aura was fierce and powerful—could it be that he had already achieved a perfect breakthrough?

Thinking this, Xu Yang bit the tip of his tongue and opened his eyes.

One sweep of his gaze, and all around, chaos and battle spread over a vast land, furious to the extreme!

He could even see the Barbarian Race's puppet war generals!

"Don't worry about what's below."

"No matter how much Great Hao has prepared, even with the Barbarian Race's strength, they are not rivals to our Daqian!"

"The hidden forces, this time, are all being used—true lords, even more than these you see!"

Can Yunxiao seemed to notice Xu Yang's apprehension and gave a faint smile as he spoke.

The group was still pouring energy in to maintain the spirit patterns!

Xu Yang's heart jumped, but then he also felt at ease!

Such preparations were only natural.

"The real key is above, right?" Xu Yang looked at Can Yunxiao. "Lord Zongzheng, do you know why he is treating the Qian King's Seal like this?"

Regarding the Qian King's Seal, he had his guesses, but was still somewhat at a loss!

Can Yunxiao fixed his gaze on the Divine Tripod, his expression heavy: "The Qian King's Seal is the pivotal item that determines the foundation of Great Qian Heaven and Earth!"

"Song Tianchou has already refined these three seals, fusing them into Great Hao's three provinces, all under his will and control!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"As for the killer move he has prepared, I don't know what it is exactly, but it's certain that it will be triggered at the cost of these three Qian King's Seals."

"His Majesty actually has not completely recovered from the Body-Burning Realm's weakness. Without these three Qian King's Seals, his chances at victory are slim!"

Xu Yang's heart skipped a beat: "So, as long as these three Qian King's Seals are suppressed, even if Song Tianchou still has trump cards, his threat will be much diminished!"

"Exactly!"

Can Yunxiao nodded slightly. "Moreover, His Majesty has other plans for these three Qian King's Seals!"

Xu Yang cast a long, searching look at the Divine Tripod!

The Qian King's Seals inside the tripod had, for now, finally quieted down a little.

"If it weren't for my Divine Tripod, what would he have done?"

Can Yunxiao was momentarily startled, and then shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, the moment you entered the game, everything was already predestined!"

"If not for this Divine Tripod, would His Majesty have done such things?"

"To tell you the truth, this tripod is remarkable; even His Majesty once said he could not see through it!"

Xu Yang broke out in cold sweats!

Can Sutian had known long ago!

That is why everything happened today!

This is the Emperor of Daqian?

He felt chills running through his whole body!

Suddenly, Can Yunxiao said, "Your Highness, you don't need to worry. His Majesty has no desire to probe the secrets hidden within you."

"At his level, he would never covet such things!"

Xu Yang gave a bitter smile.

Even so, this feeling was unbearably unsettling!

"He plotted all of this—can he really guarantee nothing will go wrong?"

"Well…" Can Yunxiao looked hesitant. All he knew was what Can Sutian had told him—how could he know the final outcome?

Suddenly, the Divine Tripod trembled fiercely!

Clang!

The Qian King's Seal struggled violently!

"Damn it, Song Tianchou is calling them again!"

"Quick!"

Can Yunxiao's face changed drastically, recklessly pouring his energy forth.

Xu Yang spat blood from the corner of his mouth, instantly suppressing all stray thoughts, spirit sinking into the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

Within the void of the tripod, the three Qian King's Seals surged turbulently!

The surrounding void was a raging darkness, pervaded by the ancient might of the Divine Tripod.

Yet this imposing force could only intimidate!

With his current strength, he still could not wield it to truly suppress everything!

The Qian King's Seal was too powerful.

And Song Tianchou's summon grew only more intense!

The sealing power within the spirit pattern that Can Sutian had prepared could hardly restrain them for now!

"Celestial Refining Divine Tripod, Heaven-locking Three Seals…"

Xu Yang's heart stirred, his consciousness surging with a wave.

The next moment.

Inside the Divine Tripod, he performed the Heaven-locking Seal!

Buzz!!

Chains emerged from his very soul, spreading into the surrounding void.

Xu Yang, while swallowing purest essence qi, was also storing up more Heaven-Locking Divine Chains, locking down the area.

Every shake of the Qian King's Seal was like thunder striking his consciousness.

But now he had no other choice.

External force could not suppress them—he had to rely on his own strength.

Clenching his will, Xu Yang slowly channeled the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, merging with the Divine Tripod!

Buzz!

Suddenly.

Wisp after wisp of black fire emerged out of nowhere.

It was the bizarre spirit fire within the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

This spirit fire, even Gu Jun, who possessed the Purple Sun Heaven-Burning Fire, couldn't discern its origin, only peering at its ancient and overbearing nature.

Moreover, even after cultivating to such a degree, honestly he still could not truly command the spirit fire inside the tripod—could only use it for alchemy!

That shows just how extraordinary it is!

Seeing this spirit fire, Xu Yang's spirits were lifted!

My Heaven-Locking Divine Chains can't restrain you, but this Heaven-Burning Divine Fire…

At once, Xu Yang steeled his mind and continued cultivating.

Buzz!!

The spirit fire appeared in greater numbers, gradually winding through this dark void.

At a certain moment.

Xu Yang gave a mental command, sending the spirit fire rushing at lightning speed toward the Qian King's Seal!

Rumble!

Clang!

The Qian King's Seal seemed to sense danger, and struggled like mad.

Blood gushed from Xu Yang's five orifices, his whole body shaking violently like a sieve!

The six with Can Yunxiao were appalled, their faces pale as paper, power within almost depleted!

But at this moment, who dared retreat?

"Zongzheng."

A True Lord growled low.

He really couldn't hold out much longer.

Zongzheng's face turned solemn, and he spat out a bead!

Golden light dazzling, within it was like a vast ocean!

The bead fell directly onto the spirit pattern, and then endless energy erupted from it, funneling into the spirit pattern!

In an instant, the burden on the six lessened markedly!

Seeing this, the True Lords finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the tripod.

The spirit fire entangled, the Qian King's Seal struggling madly.

Xu Yang's head was splitting, his mind dazed!

With the Qian King's Seal's convulsions, he even saw the wide lands of the Northern Territory, Leizhou, and Qingzhou playing out in his mind, every inch unimaginably vivid.

With these three Qian King's Seals, it seemed one could fully spy on and control this vast world!

Suddenly.

The scene froze at one spot!

It was a corpse!

Completely identical to a Martial Artist of the human race, with a blade mark almost piercing through its heart on its chest.

No telling how long it had been dead!

But the invisible power emanating from it made Xu Yang's scalp tingle.

It even filled him with a fear greater than Can Sutian or Song Tianchou ever could!

Who is this?

"From beyond the realm?"

That notion arose, Xu Yang trembled all over, and instantly became alert.

This corpse must be Song Tianchou's ultimate trump card!

He meant to use the Qian King's Seal to unleash its remaining might, and then kill Can Sutian!

Then, while alive, this corpse's strength…surpassed the Body-Burning Realm!

Clang~~~

The Qian King's Seal erupted in a deafening scream, a ferocious howl echoing out.

"You little bastard, hand over the Qian King's Seal!"

A blurry roar boomed in his ears!

Pft!

Xu Yang spat blood, his vision going black.

"Go fuck yourself!"

Xu Yang bit through the tip of his tongue, his fierceness showing through.

"Refine for me!"

He threw caution aside, unleashing torrents of Heaven-Burning Divine Fire within the tripod, directing it all at once.

Pft pft pft!!

The black spirit fire shrouded the Qian King's Seal completely, raging wildly.

Bursting its shell in one place, with more fire surging forth.

Dazzling golden light splattered, yet under such corrosion, the brilliance faded bit by bit!

Xu Yang didn't know how he held on; in a daze, who could tell how long had passed.

Snap!

From within the Qian King's Seal, a faint clear crack sounded.

The very next instant, all resistance vanished utterly without a trace.

The three Qian King's Seals turned dim and lusterless, lying among the black flames as plain as any common great seal, unmoving!

"Impossible! He's not even at the True Lord level—how could he erase the imprint I left on the Qian King's Seal?" In the depths of endless void, Song Tianchou was suddenly aghast, calling out in shock.
