Xu Nian was frantically absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy around him.
As he absorbed it, his Cultivation also continued to rise.
Xu Nian's Spiritual Cultivation directly broke through to the Six-star Battle Emperor Realm, and it was still increasing.
His Body Cultivation also experienced a significant increase.
At this moment, it had reached the peak of the Five-star Body Emperor.
All of this was thanks to the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
The effect produced by the simultaneous absorption of Spiritual Energy through three major Cultivation Techniques was undoubtedly terrifying.
The crowds around were also dumbstruck.
This was the first time they had seen someone's cultivation cause such a huge commotion.
Xuan Hong was somewhat astonished.
Even during his peak period in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm when he used his Cultivation Techniques, he might not have caused such a huge commotion.
The youngster in front of him truly took him by surprise.
And that Demon Beast avatar, such a fearsome beast, was also something he had seen for the first time.
Just at that moment, a strong fluctuation came from the horizon.
Then, three fierce beams shot towards Xu Nian, who was sitting cross-legged.
These weren't just any beams; they were three incredibly sharp Spirit Axes.
Xuan Hong's eyes narrowed, and he let out a disdainful snort.
With a sweep of his sleeve,
the hurtling Spirit Axes stopped less than a meter away from Xu Nian.
A surprised and questioning voice came from a distance in the shadows.
Xuan Hong shouted loudly.
The hovering giant axes immediately flew back the way they came.
A series of screams arose.
The three individuals hiding in the shadows died on the spot.
Yes, they were the Mo Family's three brothers, whom Emperor Tianhen had just summoned.
These three Nine-star War Emperors died without even showing their faces.
"Your Majesty, the Mo Family's three brothers are all dead in battle!"
In the Emperor Palace, a man in black spoke to the Emperor seated high above.
His voice clearly trembled.
He obviously knew that the Emperor had reached the brink of a rampage.
"Useless, all of you are useless!" Emperor Tianhen roared, his aura bursting forth.
The man in black was blown away, crashing into a wall.
A Battle Saint Level, unable to withstand the aura of a Supreme Battle Emperor Level expert.
As soon as the Battle Saint died, men in black emerged from the shadows, carrying away his body.
"Your Majesty, calm your anger. Xu Nian has a super expert by his side. It should be the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle from the Ancient Spiritual Sect, whose realm has reached Heavenly Phenomenon. The Mo Family's three brothers couldn't even get close to him," a voice spoke again from the shadows.
The Imperial Family controlled a massive intelligence department.
It comprised hundreds of members, all of whom were Battle King Level or above.
These people, like shadows, followed the commands of the Emperor.
Normally, they handled various matters for Emperor Tianhen.
But today's battle had exceeded their capabilities.
With their strength, they could only relay intelligence for Emperor Tianhen.
Nothing else could be done.
"A Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle? Why would such a powerful being willingly follow this Xu Nian?" Emperor Tianhen said angrily.
"It is said that Xu Nian released the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle from a Small World, and it vowed to protect him for half a year. Your Majesty, what should we do? If this continues, in less than two hours, the Imperial Capital Array will collapse," the person in the shadows asked again.
Emperor Tianhen's brows were tightly furrowed.
Clearly, he was very wary of the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.
By now, Xu Nian had grown to a point where even the Imperial Family was helpless.
"It seems we can only wait for the ancestor to emerge from seclusion. It will be soon. Once the ancestor emerges, Xu Nian, today will be your end, even if you have a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Xuan Turtle to protect you," Emperor Tianhen said angrily.
Sending more people now would be useless.
After all, that Xuan Turtle was too powerful.
Inside the territories of the Xu Family of the empire.
Three Battle Emperor Level experts stood in front of the sect's gate.
As they looked up at the massive storm in the sky, their hearts were filled with both shock and awe.
They all knew who was the one stirring up the Spiritual Energy of the entire Imperial Capital.
And they were very clear about the reason why the Fang Family was annihilated.
For this young man, who had numerous ties with their Xu Family.
They truly regretted from the bottom of their hearts.
Regretted how they had treated Xu Nian in the past.
Now, they had already revoked the position of Family Head Xu.
It was Xu Nian's grandfather who was appointed as the new Family Head of the Xu Family.
Xu Nian had also heard about it from Xu Xin and others through the Communication Spirit Talisman.
He knew this was the Xu Family making their stance clear to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was also pleased with this.
If it weren't for considering his grandfather, mother, and sister's feelings,
Xu Nian would have long since annihilated the Xu Family.
After all, Xu Nian had no feelings for the Xu Family.
The Leng Family felt the same, but they were also relieved.
Because of Leng Yanran, Xu Nian had not troubled them.
But the Lin Family was different.
At this moment, they were extremely anxious.
They were truly afraid that Xu Nian would also order their Lin Family to be exterminated.
Terrified, they arranged for their important family disciples to quietly leave the Imperial Capital.
Xu Nian, however, paid no heed to these matters at this time.
Right now, he had reached a critical moment in his cultivation.
By now, the Spiritual Energy of the entire Imperial Capital had been almost entirely depleted by them.
And his Body Cultivation had also reached the realm of a Seven-star Body Emperor.
His Spiritual Cultivation had also reached the realm of an Eight-star Battle Emperor.
This frenzied absorption was,
undoubtedly like taking a miraculous Spirit Pill for him, making his Cultivation skyrocket.
The gains for the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar were also substantial.
It had now reached the peak of the Eight-star Demon Emperor.
In terms of combat power, even a regular Supreme Battle Emperor was no match for it.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was finally completely absorbed.
The Great Array in the sky of the Imperial Capital was also on the verge of collapse now.
Xu Nian smiled faintly, a Immortal Sword appearing in his hand.
"Mixed Element Slash!"
Xu Nian shouted loudly.
The sword in his hand immediately chopped out.
Instantly, a massive gap was torn in the Great Array in the sky.
Eventually, the whole Great Array completely collapsed.
Without the support of Spiritual Energy, the Great Array naturally crumbled as though it were made of paper.
The people from the Divine River Palace all around witnessed this scene,
and they all showed expressions of surprise.
"The Imperial Capital Great Array has really been broken!" Everyone was surprised in their hearts.
With the Imperial Capital Array broken,
they too were safe now.
Xu Nian also smiled faintly.
Without the Imperial Capital Great Array, the Imperial Family had lost a trump card.
The only thing left to be cautious about was perhaps the Tianhen Ancestor who had not yet appeared!
However, at this moment.
A purple light soared into the sky from within the empire.
A giant purple sword struck the heavens.
A powerful fluctuation immediately pervaded the entire Imperial Capital, making everyone's heart tremble.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital was drawn by this fluctuation, showing surprised looks.
Even Xuan Hong's eyes showed a look of astonishment as he exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible, how can there be fluctuations of the Zifu True Essence?"
