Chapter 2926: Uncertain Future: The True Xuanwu Continent

The Dragon Talisman absorbed the Volcanic King’s corpse, integrating his bloodline into Ling Xiao’s body.

No matter its future utility, the power of the Phoenix bloodline possesses terrifying potential, infusing itself into every cell.

This will be greatly beneficial for Ling Xiao’s future cultivation enhancement.

Moreover, obtaining this bloodline power grants Ling Xiao the ability of Nirvana Rebirth.

This ability is very sinister and repulsive.

Naturally, Ling Xiao would not use it under normal circumstances.

But if surrounded and pursued by thousands of troops, he would rather be a bit sinister.

So this Nirvana Rebirth isn’t entirely useless.

Paired with the Life Retrospection ability, it provides an extra layer of life protection for him.

“Since you can’t properly use the Phoenix bloodline power, I’ll take it for myself.”

Ling Xiao coldly watched as the Volcanic King was rapidly refined by the Ancient Hellfire within the Dragon Talisman, leaving nothing behind.

The remnants of the Chen Royal Family, including the Fourth Prince, were so terrified at this sight that they couldn’t move.

Dead!

The Volcanic King actually died just like that!

Having undergone Nirvana Rebirth three times, he still died at Ling Xiao’s hands; Ling Xiao is indeed too fearsome.

The Volcanic King, Volcanic Crown Prince, Huo Yu, Great Minister, and the Seven Generals!

These were the most elite fighters of the Volcano Kingdom.

They had come to the Eight Immortals Kingdom with high spirits, intending to kill Ling Xiao and seize actual control.

But unexpectedly, they all perished here.

“You shall accompany them in death!”

Ling Xiao looked into the distance, waved his hand, and a dazzling Sword Qi struck the mountain top over there.

All the remnants of the Chen Royal Family, including the Fourth Prince, were slain.

He withdrew the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, hid his aura again, and then looked at a certain spot in the dense forest.

“Fanghua, come out. I know you’re there.”

Ling Xiao believed in the relationship he had with the Moon Lady, Yue Fang Hua; it wasn’t the kind of superficial affection born from a few meetings.

Their bond was forged through life and death situations.

Even if Yue Fang Hua saw his Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit, it didn’t matter.

Moreover, he purposely let Yue Fang Hua see it.

He could sense Yue Fang Hua’s inner anxiety.

That was a lack of confidence in him and fear of the Eternal Palace.

Releasing the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit was to let Yue Fang Hua know that, given time, he could absolutely stand atop the Xuanwu Continent, surpassing the Eternal Palace!

“The man I’ve chosen is indeed extraordinary.”

Yue Fang Hua stepped out, a bitter smile on her face: “But such things, never expose them in front of the martial artists of the Eternal Palace, otherwise it will be very troublesome.”

“Of course, I know.”

Ling Xiao nodded and said: “Cheer up; even if the Eternal Palace’s people come, even if I’m not a match for them now, I will snatch you back from their hands in the future! You are my woman, Ling Xiao’s woman, and I won’t allow anyone else to have you!”

He’s not an arrogant person; on the contrary, he’s fully aware that with his current strength, opposing the Eternal Palace is nearly impossible.

For now, he can only hope that the Eternal Palace’s people don’t discover them.

If they did, with his current ability, it would be impossible to keep Yue Fang Hua.

They returned to Thunder City.

The Volcanic King’s Storage Ring and the items inside were completely destroyed during the battle, so nothing was left.

However, Ling Xiao wanted this guy’s kingdom!

After returning to Thunder City, Ling Xiao immediately sent someone to notify Chen Cangmang to launch a campaign against the Volcano Kingdom.

Without the Volcanic King and other experts, the Volcano Kingdom was utterly vulnerable.

In less than seven days, surrender or destruction faced them.

The once mightier than even Chen Dynasty, the Volcano Kingdom instantly became a part of the Eight Immortals Kingdom’s territory.

Though some continued to resist, they posed little threat, not something Ling Xiao needed to concern himself with.

During these seven days, Ling Xiao didn’t cultivate but took Yue Fang Hua back to Eight Immortals County City and Yuhua Town.

About to leave indefinitely, possibly for a long time.

Meeting friends and family was necessary.

He also went to pay his respects to his father.

Simultaneously, he retrieved the Treasures he had buried near Yuhua Town during his previous reincarnation.

He hadn’t retrieved them before due to insufficient strength.

Now, retrieving them was beneficial.

The Spirit Stones he buried there were not trivial in number.

Unlike him, Xiao Jin was in seclusion during this period.

Having obtained the Heart of Molten Fire and being granted the Undying Phoenix Fire from Ling Xiao.

Xiao Jin decided to cultivate fiercely.

Because he felt the gap between himself and Ling Xiao widening, and with it, how could he protect Ling Xiao?

Ling Xiao had fulfilled his revenge plan; next, he would help Ling Xiao achieve unifying the Xuanwu Continent’s plan.

At this moment, Ling Xiao had already returned to Thunder City with Yue Fang Hua.

In the Thunder City Palace, Ling Xiao was looking at a map. After stepping out from the Chen Dynasty, he would directly head to the Nine Supreme Forces’ place most suited to him, the “Sword King Dynasty”.

The Nine Venerables are Linglong Palace, Xuan She Demon Sect, Heavenly King Sect, Seven Stars Sword Palace, Soul Hall, Sword King Dynasty, Fire King Dynasty, Ice King Dynasty, and Wan guo.

Among these Nine Great Powers, he had enmity with the first five.

Of the latter four, only the Sword King Dynasty suited him best.

Though farther than Xuan She Demon Sect, he planned to go there for at least some development.

Otherwise, going to an enemy area, he might be wiped out before doing anything.

“Ling Xiao, although I have great faith in your strength, lately I increasingly feel danger approaching.

Perhaps we truly need to part ways now.

Next, I will tell you something very important; you must remember it!

Suddenly, Yue Fang Hua said.

“What’s the matter, why suddenly so serious?”

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

“I don’t know, I just feel uneasy, perhaps the people coming for me have already arrived in the Eight Immortals Kingdom. I can’t let you or your Eight Immortals Kingdom face catastrophe because of me. After all, every person from the Eternal Palace can easily destroy a small nation.”

Yue Fang Hua earnestly said: “Listen to me, where you’re at, although it’s called the Western Region of the Xuanwu Continent. In truth, it has another name: ‘Exile Land’. Because the place is resource-scarce and small in size. Moreover, it’s a place where prisoners from the other Four Territories are exiled. Once here, returning to the other Four Territories becomes very difficult.”

“Why? Didn’t you return?”

Ling Xiao asked, puzzled.

Yue Fang Hua explained: “I could return because I was strong enough. But most martial artists exiled here have had their cultivation abolished, and here it’s impossible to regain their former power. So, returning is virtually impossible. However, exceptions exist, those exceptionally talented individuals who break through the region’s limits, eventually stepping out of Exile Land, traversing the perilous, barren Death Forbidden Land. It allows them to reach the real ‘Xuanwu Continent’.”
