Just as Fang Xingjian was helping the Fourth Prince to check out the Hades Vault…

The event that had occurred in the Northern Ice Region also gradually started to take effect.

The Pops Clan and the Henry Clan had jointly suppressed most of the influences in the Northern Ice Region. Relying on the prowess Fang Xingjian had displayed at the banquet, as well as their own powers, the two clans jointly dominated and unified a large number of the aristocrat influences in the Northern Ice Region.

With a series of lightning speed operations, the influences of the two clans expanded rapidly. Then after they stopped their operations and were digesting the results of the battles, news of Fang Xingjian having defeated a part of Xia’s martial will finally spread out at the speed of a typhoon. While Fang Xingjian was exploring the Hades Vault, he once again shook the world.

…

At a manor outside the Imperial City in the Central Region, a young man with white hair, brows, and eyes sat cross-legged on the grass plains. With each breath he inhaled, the grass and trees on the grass plains shook with the same frequency.

It was as if the white-haired young man had already merged as one with the entire world.

Before him, another young man said, “Brother Ling, that Fang Xingjian has actually defeated a portion of Xia’s martial will despite not even having reached 20 years old. Although it’s just a portion of Xia’s martial will, Fang Xingjian is too powerful. Are you really going to challenge him?”

The white-haired young man opened his eyes. There was a feeling of emptiness inside them. It was as if there was nothing else in the world that could leave any traces in his heart.

“Currently, the talented geniuses of the Empire are just the Fifth Prince, myself, the Supreme Chief, Fang Xingjian, and a few people from the seven great clans. The First Prince has already attained the Divine level and is currently suppressing two great factions in the Xingwu Region. There’s no way I can disturb him.

“Although the other four princes are also amazing, it’ll take me no more than three moves to kill them.

“The seven great clans have legacies spanning over two hundred years. It’s a pity that they are all cowards who know only of hiding themselves and putting hard work in their cultivation. They don’t show the air of a Knight at all.

“Fang Xingjian is the only one who rose from the commoners, has extraordinary talent, has had many fortunate encounters, and is growing stronger at a rapid rate. Only a great genius like him is deserving to take an attack from my saber.”

Saying that, the white-haired young man lifted his head and look toward the sky. As his gaze moved, the cloud layers 10,000 meters high up in the sky started to tear into two, revealing the pitch black outer space. It was as if an invisible long saber had sliced up the sky.

“I’m only one step away from attaining the Divine level. I just hope that this Fang Xingjian will not disappoint me and that he can let me have the chance to sneak a peek at the true appearance of the Nine-Tiered Heavens, letting me advance into the unrivalled realm of martial arts.”

…

In the northeast side of the Empire’s Northern Ice Region, at the center of the Enraged Dragon River which was located in an area of snow and ice, several million tons of water kept gushing out with great impact and tearing up all physical matter before them into pieces.

The chill of the river water was so cold that it could pierce through to a person’s heart and freeze any animal to death.

Under such a situation, a human figure emitted faint fluorescent light while wrapped up into something sphere-like.

Behind him, a scar-faced man sent out a glare, and the water currents were pushed aside by his condensed martial will that seemed material. His martial will forcibly accepted the water pressure of several million tons of water and opened up a space in the center of the river.

This person was the leader of the Great River Alliance and one of the Empire’s ten great Divine level experts—the Fist Emperor. Beside him, the one that had been distorted into remnants of illusions, was the Fifth Prince who was only left with his martial will.
