The Lord of Myriad Underworld felt his dog eyes about to pop out. A Divine Emperor expert?
How could that be possible?
Even though he had a thousand reasons not to believe it, Xia Feng was standing right before his eyes, and disbelief was useless.
It was then he understood why he had suddenly lost his divine power. Xia Feng had likely comprehended the rules.
*Poof....*
The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly appeared in Xia Feng's hand, its blade capable of slicing through all things.
With his Divine Emperor strength and the cooperation of the top-tier divine artifact, the Xuanyuan Sword, Xia Feng waved his hand. The Lord of Myriad Underworld, who was stunned into immobility, was instantly cleaved in two.
Of course, a peak Divine Venerable like the Lord of Myriad Underworld would not be killed so easily. As long as his divine spark was not removed, he could not die.
The Lord of Myriad Underworld, originally cut in half by the Xuanyuan Sword, began to fuse back together at a visible speed.
Although the Lord of Myriad Underworld could not be killed, Xia Feng's previous strike, coupled with the process of fusing his body back together, consumed at least one-third of his strength.
He was already no match for Xia Feng, so how could he dare to make a move now?
"You... why do you have the strength of a Divine Emperor? Who exactly are you? There's no one like you in the Divine Realm." The Lord of Myriad Underworld was terrified.
Although he was not dead yet, if Xia Feng were to strike him twice more, he would have no strength left to resist. Then, he would have to watch as Xia Feng stripped away his divine spark until he died.
Facing the threat of death, the Lord of Myriad Underworld was truly starting to panic.
He had never imagined that there would be a Divine Emperor realm expert in the Divine Realm. The divine artifact in Xia Feng's hand was the absolute pinnacle of its kind. His own spear, compared to it, was practically trash meant to be thrown away.
"Do you think you're in a position to ask me questions? I ask, you answer. If I'm not satisfied, I'll strike you again. Let's see how many strikes you can withstand."
Xia Feng brandished the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, his eyes filled with confidence and arrogance.
Mu Yunchen was dumbfounded. She had heard and seen everything clearly. Xia Feng, as a Divine Emperor, had struck down the Lord of Myriad Underworld with a single sword strike.
Everything had changed so quickly that she was struggling to react.
Was this the husband she had found by tossing a brocade ball?
Suddenly, Mu Yunchen felt unworthy. She, who had intended to be devoted to him until death, was now filled with a sense of inferiority.
This was a Divine Emperor.
A legendary realm, unseen in the Divine Realm.
She herself never imagined that she would be involved in such a misunderstanding with a Divine Emperor one day.
Although Mu Yunchen's heart was churning with shock and a sense of inferiority, it did not cause her to give up on Xia Feng.
This was mainly due to the ingrained ideology she had been instilled with: either she followed Xia Feng forever, or she died. She only had these two choices.
It was like the chaste women of ancient times, perhaps even more so.
No one was paying attention to Mu Yunchen's thoughts now, and the Lord of Myriad Underworld was even less concerned about her. At this moment, he felt he was experiencing the most dangerous moment in his history.
"Senior, you may ask," the Lord of Myriad Underworld lowered his proud head. In the face of absolute power, all cunning schemes were useless.
The Lord of Myriad Underworld had no choice but to bow.
The strength of a Divine Emperor was too formidable.
Although there seemed to be a great realm separating a Divine Venerable from a Divine Emperor, the gap between them was as vast as the deep sea.
If a Divine Venerable was merely a river, then a Divine Emperor was the ocean.
The most crucial reason was that Xia Feng had slowly begun to grasp the power of rules.
Xia Feng himself didn't understand how he started to comprehend the power of rules; it was as if they were naturally awakening within him.
It was like a man and woman's first physical contact; neither knew how to proceed, but their instincts guided them.
This was the awakening of sexuality.
Because it was innate, it didn't require teaching.
"First, tell me why you recruited a divine son-in-law," Xia Feng asked his first question.
"I recruited divine sons-in-law to cultivate them into Divine Venerables, and then have them offer their cultivation to me, hoping it would help me break through to the Divine Emperor realm."
The Lord of Myriad Underworld did not conceal anything and revealed his intentions truthfully.
This had been his plan all along, and now that Xia Feng was asking, he dared not hide anything from a Divine Emperor.
Xia Feng had already comprehended the rules; if he spoke falsely, it would be easily discovered, and he dared not lie.
If Xia Feng discovered his lie, he would be struck again. Who knew what question Xia Feng would ask next? If his answer displeased Xia Feng, how many more strikes could he endure?
Upon hearing the Lord of Myriad Underworld's reply, Xia Feng was not surprised at all; he had already guessed as much.
Meanwhile, Mu Yunchen, standing in the distance, glanced at Xia Feng and felt that Xia Feng was indeed right.
"Are you so sure you can cultivate us to the Divine Venerable realm?" Xia Feng asked.
"That's why I needed to find individuals with exceptional talent. Furthermore, I discovered a passage in the desolate void. Cultivating in the vicinity of this passage is three times faster than cultivating outside. This is also why I have been cultivating there."
The Lord of Myriad Underworld revealed a secret he knew.
Xia Feng had no interest in this cultivation speed. He estimated that the desolate void was extremely dangerous, and outsiders were forbidden to enter. These rumors were likely spread by the Lord of Myriad Underworld to scare people away, lest they find such a place.
Moreover, he had occupied it for a long time, and no one could enter. For Divine Venerable experts, entering would not be very beneficial, and for those who were not Divine Venerables, it would be suicide.
Thus, the desolate void naturally became the Lord of Myriad Underworld's private garden.
"An important question. It is said that you are the Son of the Heavenly Dao?" Xia Feng continued to ask.
Xia Feng was very interested in this topic. Since arriving in the Divine Realm, Xia Feng had been most curious about two things.
First: himself. He was increasingly curious about his identity, even suspecting that he might be the reincarnation of some powerful being.
Otherwise, why would he have been so familiar with divine power from the very beginning? And why, upon reaching the Divine Realm, did his breakthroughs feel like regaining his strength? He had directly broken through to the Divine Emperor realm, a realm that did not exist in the Divine Realm.
Second: his curiosity about the Heavenly Dao. Especially after learning from Zhang Sanfeng that the Heavenly Dao was a person, a vague figure always appeared in Xia Feng's mind. Was that the Heavenly Dao?
Therefore, Xia Feng's greatest desire now was to know these two things. No one could provide him with a satisfactory answer; he could only explore and pursue them himself.
Upon hearing Xia Feng's question, the Lord of Myriad Underworld shook his head like a rattle drum, quickly denying it, "How could that be? I was just trying to elevate my status and pretend to be cool. If I were truly the Son of the Heavenly Dao, why would I be hiding and cultivating in this desolate void?"
"Then, how much do you know about the Heavenly Dao?" Xia Feng looked at the Lord of Myriad Underworld and asked.
He was a peak Divine Venerable. Perhaps his perspective was broader than Zhang Sanfeng's, and he might know other information.
"How can people like us understand the Heavenly Dao?" the Lord of Myriad Underworld shook his head and continued:
"However, I can introduce you to someone who might be able to enlighten you."
