The Fist Emperor sighed while thinking, ‘This is unexpected, really unexpected… To think that Fang Xingjian would be such a world-shaking character. Since that’s the case, then I can’t let the Fifth Prince continue to go against him. It’s better to tell him earlier and let him give up.’
When the Fifth Prince heard these, his gaze narrowed, and it was as if he could not even bother about the pain he was experiencing throughout his body. He asked dazedly, “Fang Xingjian… killed Xia who was at the second tier of the Divine level?”
“That’s right,” the subordinate continued. “From the beginning till the end, Xia could not even retaliate once. He was really under the mercy of Fang Xingjian, without any ability to retaliate at all.”
“Arghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Fifth Prince’s expression instantly became distorted by ten or even a hundred times. His entirety became flushed red like a heated wok, and he released an extremely infuriated roar as if he were tearing his heart and lungs out.
He hated, hated, hated it…. To think that Fang Xingjian was one step faster than him again, and had even killed Xia, who was at the second tier of the Divine level. An endless string of grievances surged up from the Fifth Prince’s chest.
“I can’t accept this! I can’t accept this! Why is he always able to surpass me?! I’m one who was selected by the Chaos Witch! I have the world’s best fist art talent!
“Why?! Why is that b*stard Fang Xingjian able to surpass and step all over me?!
“Arghhhh!!!!!”
The violent air currents scattered out in all directions, bringing up endless waves of lava and breaking through the head of the volcano. They turned into countless fragmented stones, lava, and volcanic ash as they soared into the skies. It was as if the volcano had erupted.
However, at the next moment, with the pressure of both being overwhelmed by anger and having his body experiencing extreme pain, the Fifth Prince abruptly spurted out a large mouthful of blood. He fell toward the lava and completely lost his consciousness.
The Fist Emperor sighed and said, “This is how the world is—it’s unfair. The more you climb up to the top, the more you’ll realize that there are some people in this world whom you’ll never be able to catch up to no matter how hard you try.” Currently, there was a very dejected expression in the Fist Emperor’s eyes.

In the mountains northwest of the Empire, Hildebrand’s silhouette continued to flash continuously amongst the forest before he finally came to a stop before a small mound.
“It’s here?”
“It’s here.”
Talking to himself, Hildebrand punched out time and time again, creating a large crater in the mound. After digging incessantly for several tens of meters, there was finally a soft bang. Then a metal door, that was covered with rust and the traces of time, appeared before Hildebrand.
“This feeling… It’s this feeling.” In Hildebrand’s consciousness, True Lord Qingshan’s eyes were gleaming with excitement. “I can sense it. It’s inside. It’s inside here! My body… My body is inside! It’s calling out to me!”
“What?! How is that possible?!” Grand Duke Alba said in astonishment, “Your body would have been from several tens of thousands years ago. How can it possibly still exist?”
“I don’t know, but I have the feeling that it’s inside here,” True Lord Qingshan answered. Then he urged, “Go in, go in quickly. Once we get back my body, we’ll be able to have a chance to defeat Fang Xingjian.”

The National Academy outside the Imperial Capital was the training ground for the Empire’s most elite Conferred Knights. The place had a scenic view, rich resources, and had nurtured many generations of experts for the Empire.
Currently, in the National Academy’s Sacred Land, Dongfang Ling was sitting cross-legged on a stretch of grass, with a green long saber placed on his legs. As he inhaled and exhaled, the saber continued to tremble like it had gotten its own spirit.
