Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

At the ancestral land of the royal family, everyone looked at the empty spot, still unable to believe that their ancestor had perished!

Wasn't it just someone sent to secretly hunt down Nioh? Why has the situation changed so drastically?

"revenge!!"

Suddenly, a voice filled with extreme sorrow, yet utterly calm, rang out.

Everyone was suddenly awakened and immediately stood up and bowed to the two founding emperors.

"Emperor Taizu, we must avenge ourselves!"

"The grudges against our three ancestors and all our clansmen must be avenged!"

A murderous aura involuntarily emerged in the void, making the space here extremely fragile.

The founding emperor of the royal family looked down at the dozen or so empty seats below, and for the first time, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.

"Revenge? Who should I seek revenge on?"

"Do you dare to seek out Niou?!"

Everyone opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word!

The mastermind behind it all is Prince Ni, but would the royal family dare to seek revenge against him?

Even setting aside his Dragon Transformation Realm subordinates, the current royal ancestral land would regard him as a true treasure.

"Should we seek out Hakugyokyo, a force under Niou's command?"

The crowd gradually calmed down.

There's nothing I can do; I don't even know who to turn to for revenge.

The frustration and anger in their hearts were causing them immense torment.

"From now on, our primary concern should not be revenge, but how to avoid being completely purged by Niou!"

"By adding Bai Yujing and the Heavenly Punishment Division, that brat has three warriors at the Dragon Transformation Realm under his command. Just his own strength alone makes him the second strongest in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Moreover, apart from Xia Wenwu, everyone else in the royal family dislikes our royal family."

"Who can guarantee that the royal family won't join forces with that brat and use this opportunity to completely eliminate us!"

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of fear.

I was so caught up in my anger that I forgot about the reality of the situation.

Suddenly, another Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator spoke up.

"It shouldn't be that bad. As long as Xia Wenwu doesn't give the order, those old fogies in the royal family won't take the initiative to eliminate us."

"Furthermore, Qiao Feng of Baiyujing must have developed health problems after yesterday's battle!"

As a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, how could he not know the immense price Qiao Feng paid to kill a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator from his own clan!

...

At the headquarters of Baiyujing in Cangshan, Xiazhou, Xia Zhaoyan personally descended upon this place with Shi Guanyin.

His expression was solemn, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart!

"Your Highness, Qiao Feng is currently in seclusion healing his injuries!"

Tie Zhongtang's expression was also solemn. After returning yesterday, Qiao Feng could no longer hold on and went into deep seclusion!

"What happened?"

Xia Zhaoyan looked anxious; he hoped to hear a result that wouldn't disappoint him.

"Your Highness, Qiao Feng launched two attacks using the laws of time, which forcibly reduced Xia Qingcang's cultivation level."

"However, his own foundation and origin also suffered severe backlash."

"After all, neither of us has yet broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm!"

Next, Tie Zhongtang explained the current situation to Xia Zhaoyan.

Although his combat power has reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, his Dao Foundation and Origin are still at the Shattered Realm level.

Forcibly unleashing two attacks of laws far exceeding one's realm will naturally result in a significant backlash.

Firstly, this kind of attack doesn't consume much true energy; it mainly consumes one's own essence.

A person's original essence is accumulated little by little from the beginning of their cultivation.

It is produced by the human body itself, not transformed from external spiritual energy.

Moreover, the reduction cannot be made up for in a short time unless a truly miraculous elixir born from heaven and earth is found.

But the history of Tianhuang is so long, where can there still be innate spiritual medicines now?

"So, unless Qiao Feng's original essence is restored, he is very likely to be trapped in the Shattered Realm for the rest of his life?" Shi Guanyin asked with a frown.

"That's right!" Tie Zhongtang nodded solemnly.

"Moreover, his Dao foundation has also been damaged. He not only needs to slowly recover his original essence, but also repair the damaged Dao foundation!"

"In terms of time, I'm afraid..."

Xia Zhaoyan stood up and looked into the depths, which was the core of Baiyujing, where Qiao Feng was currently in seclusion.

They were surrounded by the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun!

For the first time, Xia Zhaoyan showed a look of regret. He shouldn't have forced Xia Qingcang to live!

For the sake of an old codger who's going to die sooner or later, he's now rendered his subordinates almost useless!

Qiao Feng's combat strength has now completely fallen below the Dragon Transformation Realm, unless he recovers from his injuries.

Upon seeing the prince's expression, Tie Zhongtang immediately stood up and said:

"Your Highness, Qiao Feng asked me to convey this message to you before he went into seclusion."

"So you don't have to blame yourself. As your subordinates, we would be willing to die for you, let alone just a few minor injuries."

"He also said that he really wanted to personally kill a Dragon Transformation Realm expert, so that you could speed up your ascension."

"Although the great calamity of reincarnation is still ten thousand years away, we cannot waste time in this low-dimensional world."

"Only when you become the Xia Emperor, unifying the desolate lands and shattering the Heavenly Dao, can we travel beyond the realms to witness the vast myriad worlds!"

Xia Zhaoyan took a deep breath, suppressing the negative emotions in his heart.

As the system's master, he wasn't afraid of Qiao Feng's demise, because if all else failed, he could simply transfer the life force within the system...

A glimmer of hope? That's it!

He turned around abruptly and looked at Tie Zhongtang.

"After my last sacrifice, I still retained some vitality, which was refined from the essence of countless cultivators. This should allow Qiao Feng's essence to recover more quickly!"

Tie Zhongtang's eyes lit up immediately!

Yes, Your Highness's vitality is a treasure comparable to a primordial elixir.

As a resurrected hero, he did not know in what form He existed.

However, the life-giving medicine that revives people is definitely one of the most precious treasures in all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Your Highness, you should give it a try!"

So, Xia Zhaoyan led the two of them quickly to the back.

The eighteen riders bowed respectfully; their fame had soared after yesterday's battle.

The formation of eighteen people was enough to kill a Celestial Realm expert.

These eighteen people were the ones who killed the two Celestial Ancestors of the Sima family.

It should be noted that each of them individually is only at the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and their combat strength is only at the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

However, with the support of the formation, it possesses the strength to kill someone in the early stage of the Celestial Realm!

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's mind stirred, and a ball of light the size of an infant's fist slowly appeared in the palm of his right hand.

A powerful surge of vitality instantly emanated from him, and Tie Zhongtang quickly waved his hand, sealing off the surrounding space with his true essence.

He felt a yearning emanate from his Dao foundation just from smelling that vitality.

"Your Highness, this will definitely work! It will be of great help to Qiao Feng's injuries!"

Xia Zhaoyan nodded, finally relieved. It was good that it was useful.

He then signaled the eighteen riders to open the secret chamber door, and gently raised his hand, sending the life force slowly drifting toward Qiao Feng, who was sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air.

In an instant, Qiao Feng's body trembled instinctively, emitting a strong suction force.

That life force was instantly swallowed up by his body!

The next moment, a circle of pure white light appeared around Qiao Feng's body.

Visibly, his complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and his body gradually recovered!
