I picked up the scattered attributes

Even before he began plotting against Feng Xia, one of his figures had already quietly broken away and entered the twelfth portal along with the other demonic beasts.

And coincidentally, although he didn't land in the same place as Feng Xia, the distance wasn't far. Almost at the same time that Feng Xia killed Magikarp, Malu discovered the whereabouts of "Xia Donghai"!

Ma Lu found a spiritual flower here, which was already a Dao Platform level spiritual herb. Without thinking much, he directly devoured and refined it, continuously converting it into his own cultivation.

His original cultivation level was already at the Dao Platform Realm, so refining this lotus flower was no problem for him. In just half a day, he had completely refined it.

At the same time, an invisible barrier was broken, allowing the road to step into a higher level in an instant.

A platform appeared behind his head.

"Dao Platform Realm... First Heaven!"

Feeling the surging power flowing through his body, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "They say there are many opportunities in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and it seems that's true indeed. Just one spiritual flower on the outer perimeter has basically restored my peak strength. If I continue to advance..."

After indulging in a little daydreaming, Ma Lu looked into the distance and found that the bastard Xia Donghai was still sitting by the lake, his aura fluctuating and much stronger than before!

"A fifth or sixth level of the Divine Power Realm... Hmph! Indeed, being cautious is necessary. If I hadn't broken through to the Dao Platform Realm, and we were in the same major realm, he might have escaped!"

But now, he has recovered to the Dao Platform Realm and is invincible. Even if Xia Donghai is at the eighth level of the Dao Platform Realm, he still cannot escape his fatal attack!

Ma Lu snorted, the flames on his body gradually subsided, and all traces of his presence vanished, like an invisible shadow, silently approaching "Xia Donghai" by the lake.

Beside the lake, clear as a mirror, the Azure Dragon incarnation continues his meditation and ascetic practice.

Suddenly, a shadowy flame attacked from behind, silent and without fluctuation, yet containing a terrifying power to burn the soul, fiercely striking the back of the Azure Dragon's incarnation!

"Xia Donghai, the time has come for you to pay the price!"

A ferocious glint flashed in Ma Lu's eyes.

This strike brought together all his power!

"So it was you. Even the Holy Son probably didn't expect you to get in here."

Just then, he suddenly heard a calm voice, and then Xia Donghai's aura suddenly surged again, reaching the level of the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm!

"You really were hiding your cultivation level!" Ma Lu's heart skipped a beat, then he let out a long sigh of relief. "Eighth level of the Divine Power Realm, is this your true cultivation level? It's a pity, you're still going to die here. Your wondrous profound skills will ultimately belong to me—"

Swah——

A ninth divine wheel appeared behind the head of the Azure Dragon incarnation.

The moment the ninth divine wheel appeared, it immediately overwhelmed the previous eight divine wheels, towering above them and twisting the power of the previous eight divine wheels into one, bursting forth with a surging power like ocean waves!

"Wh...what? There's another divine wheel?!"

Ma Lu was visibly shaken, almost unable to believe his eyes.

At the same time, he also saw the smile on Xia Donghai's face:

"When exactly did you develop the misconception that... the Divine Wheel can only have eight paths?"

……

Chapter 0235

In that instant, the road froze in place.

A look of utter astonishment and shock appeared in his eyes. How could Xia Donghai have nine divine wheels?

As everyone knows, regardless of race or cultivation method, the highest level one can achieve is to refine the Eight Divine Wheels. This seems to be some kind of destiny limit that no one has ever been able to break.

But then, the impossible happened right before our eyes!

As soon as Xia Donghai's ninth divine wheel appeared, it integrated the previous eight divine wheels together, like an emperor who ruled over all things. The different powers of the eight divine wheels, under the control of the ninth divine wheel, ran in parallel without conflict, like the surging Yuanqing River, crashing against the sky and surging towards him in a mighty torrent!

"You...what?!"

"I thought it was someone spying on me, but I never expected it to be you."

Feng Xia calmly shook his head, and without saying a word, directly activated the strongest divine power of the Azure Dragon incarnation—

Taiyi Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Style!

"You were able to sneak in, which shows you have some skill and good luck. But why did you have to provoke me?"

The Azure Dragon avatar shook its head casually, and one of its hands transformed into a dragon claw, pushing forward horizontally. Before it even got close, the ground in all directions exploded, with earth and rocks flying everywhere, tearing deep ravines in the air!

Feng Xia sighed deeply, "I just wanted to cultivate in peace and quiet."

"you--"

In that instant, terror flashed in Ma Lu's eyes.

The world around him seemed to be frozen in place, his body completely stiffened, unable to move an inch, and he could only watch helplessly as the dragon claw descended and cut him to pieces!

hiss-

In the void, the jet-black steed fell to the ground, instantly cut in half at the waist by this attack.

However, Feng Xia did not give up.

Rumbling--

Rumble rumble rumble—

His expression was indifferent, and he once again struck with lightning speed, unleashing more than a dozen Taiyi Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Techniques.

The Taiyi Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Technique is the pinnacle of the East Sea Flood Dragon Clan's heritage. Now that it has been revealed to the world, it must be eradicated completely.

After a short while, the violent tremors finally subsided.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the Azure Dragon's incarnation had already drifted away, waving its hand without taking away a single cloud.

Where they had been, only a huge crater, over ten feet deep, remained, as if telling the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

"Interesting, really interesting..."

A full day later.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the deep pit.

Some broken soil and rocks flew up and were pushed to both sides by an invisible force. Finally, a trace of blood was revealed at the bottom of the pit. This trace of blood trembled and slowly detached from the ground, reforming into the shape of a black horse.

But at this moment, the divine light within the darkness was completely different.

They were full of arrogance and haughtiness, with an air of superiority. Anyone who met their gaze could feel their intense aggression.

"This guy's birth is quite rare, but unfortunately, rare doesn't mean powerful."

Black Horse shook his head and muttered to himself, "However, with the twelfth gate destroyed, I, the Holy Son, have no choice but to resort to this last resort and temporarily borrow this body."

For a moment, the Holy Son of the Demon Clan felt quite gloomy.

He thought he had found Jiao Jiao's information, but he never expected that it was just a smokescreen. Ma Lu and Xia Donghai, two little guys whose cultivation was barely at the first level of the Dao Platform Realm, were so audacious that they dared to deceive even him, the Holy Son!

"On the other hand, it's all thanks to this little guy named Ma Lu. If it weren't for his cleverness, I, the Holy Son, might still be trapped outside the Demon Emperor's Tomb, and I would never have discovered... that Xia Donghai is also related to the East Sea Dragon Clan!"

Thinking of this, the Holy Son felt somewhat better.

Although he didn't directly capture Jiao Jiao, he could never mistake the supernatural power Xia Donghai used. It was one of the top inheritances of the East Sea Jiao Clan—the Taiyi Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Style!

"If it weren't for the vast difference in cultivation between him and Jiao Jiao, I would almost have thought... that this Xia Donghai was Jiao Jiao in disguise... Sure enough, the East Sea Jiao Clan is not dead but still alive. Even though the clan has been wiped out, two great geniuses have still emerged!"

However, Xia Donghai's cultivation level was far too weak.

Previously, outside the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, the Holy Son had directed two forces at Xia Donghai and Ma Lu respectively to create the wanted image of Jiao Jiao. However, after that, the two forces did not disappear, but quietly took up residence in the bodies of the two!

It's just that neither Ma Lu nor Xia Donghai noticed it.

This is why, even though Ma Lu ran into the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, he still couldn't escape his gaze.

Furthermore, the power hidden within Xia Donghai's body constantly reflects Xia Donghai's condition, from changes in cultivation level to fluctuations in blood and qi, and even the trajectory of his divine abilities when he attacks. All of this is clearly visible to the Holy Son, leaving no secrets whatsoever.

At this moment, the black horse's body still appeared somewhat illusory.

The Holy Son sighed and did not continue to condense his power. In his eyes, Ma Lu's cultivation was too weak. However, there was nothing he could do. He had been ambushed by Xia Donghai and was still trapped outside the Demon Emperor's Tomb. If it weren't for this method, he would probably have missed the chance to open the Demon Emperor's Tomb this time.

"Xia Donghai... cherish your last moments."

The Holy Son took a deep breath, his gaze piercing the heavens and earth. Soon, as if sensing something, he locked onto a small hill in the distance.

Half a day later, the hill suddenly collapsed, and a black horse emerged from it, its body completely solidified.

The aura he exuded had already reached the Dao Platform realm!

"Next, we need to recover to the Yuan Dan realm as soon as possible," the Holy Son murmured, his expression remaining largely unchanged. "Once we reach the Yuan Dan realm, we'll deal with that Xia Donghai! Of course, before that, we can't let him continue to roam free..."

Suddenly, a violent explosion, accompanied by a faint tremor, came from the ends of the earth.

Sensing something, the Holy Son gazed into the distance and saw divine light soaring into the sky, accompanied by roars, explosions, and various other shockwaves—clearly, a fierce battle was taking place!

The Holy Son's heart stirred slightly: "This aura... it's like some ancient treasure has been born!"

Without hesitation, he flew forward. Along the way, several audacious demonic beasts attacked him, but in the next moment, they were all cut down. Finally, the Holy Son arrived at a devastated valley.

Deep in the valley, someone was shouting:

"Don't let it get away—"

"Grab it!!"

call out--

The next moment.

A streak of azure light pierced through the air. The Holy Son smiled faintly, opened his mouth, and spat out his magical power, which transformed into an unbreakable net that intercepted the streak of light.
