"The Black Emperor is running away, so what are we doing standing still here?"
"Waiting for a feast?"
"Brothers, let's escape using our own skills!"
"..."
The Black Emperor's actions set off a chain reaction.
The remaining Abyssal Creatures had no interest in continuing the fight and fled in all directions as fast as they could.
"I've finally taken this path."
The shadow of Qin Xiao secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Now he could make his move with confidence.
The next moment, he reached out and grasped, the Sea God's Trident flew from Poseissi's hand into his own.
Then he gathered all his strength and threw the Sea God's Trident like a javelin.
A golden light streaked across the sky at an alarmingly fast speed, instantly striking the fleeing Black Emperor.
With a loud bang, a mushroom cloud formed above the sea.
A great amount of seawater evaporated in an instant.
The Black Emperor's life force disappeared in a flash, along with his soul and origin, with no possibility of returning to the abyssal plane to be reborn.
It was hard to imagine the terrifying power contained in Qin Xiao's throw.
"The, the Black Emperor has fallen!"
At that moment, all the Abyssal Creatures felt a chill run through them.
Could an emperor ranked in the top ten of the abyss be so easily defeated?
Just how powerful are the gods of this world?
However, in the next moment, a voice that chilled them to the bone rang out.
"Those of Sea God's Island, kill!"
With Qin Xiao's voice spreading across the sea, the numerous Sea Soul Masters and sea soul beasts, as if injected with adrenaline, started a relentless pursuit of the escaping Abyssal Creatures.
Normally, with the strength of these Abyssal Creatures, things should not have come to this.
But the old saying goes, defeat is like a collapsing mountain.
With no morale left, even the strong can only be slaughtered.
...
"Are you alright?"
Finally having a moment, Qin Xiao spoke to Poseissi.
A relieved smile spread across Poseissi's face, "I've been waiting for you, thankfully I didn't give up. The promise I made to help you defend Sea God's Island, I've kept it."
"Yes, without you, who knows what would have become of it. Sea God's Island might not have existed anymore..."
Qin Xiao spoke with a hint of emotion in his voice.
It had to be said, Poseissi certainly had her talents, which were unmatched by ordinary people.
Not dwelling too much on the issue, Poseissi asked, "So, what are we going to do next? When will your real body return?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao's expression suddenly turned serious, "The problem with the abyssal plane can be resolved, but I fear we might face even bigger troubles..."
"What troubles?" The color drained from Poseissi's face, a sense of dread hitting her heart.
Qin Xiao pointed towards the sky.
"The Divine Realm?"
"Correct, the Divine Realm..."
...
Meanwhile.
Above the vast expanse of Spirit City.
Another figure emerged in Qin Xiao's Spirit Sea.
"I didn't expect to see you so soon."
The Thunder Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Qin Xiao with a smile.
"I thought you had completely left."
As if greeting an old friend, Qin Xiao replied with a smile.
"This is the last vestige of thought I left before my main body departed, completing what needs to be done and saying what needs to be said, before dissipating completely."
"Oh?" Qin Xiao frowned slightly.
"I won't beat around the bush. What I can tell you is that you have caught the attention of the Divine Realm. It won't be long before the gods of the Divine Realm descend."
Qin Xiao didn't say a word.
The words of the Thunder Emperor echoed his own thoughts.
After all, he held the godhood of the Asura God. The Sea God's godhood was also within him, and after the fall of the Lord of the Abyssal Plane, the Abyssal Sage King, the essence of the abyssal plane had also come into his possession—all things that the Divine Realm coveted.
But could Qin Xiao give them back to the Divine Realm?
Clearly, that was impossible.
Not to mention anything else, he had already refined half of the source of the abyssal plane; unless he died, that power could not be taken from him.
"It has to be said, you've grown quickly. By the standards of this world, you now possess the level of a First-level Divine Realm."
"But facing many Divine Kings of the Divine Realm, that might still not be enough."
After thinking for a bit, the Thunder Emperor added, "Even with my Armor, it won't be enough. No matter how good your Cultivation Level is, you can't fully unleash the full power of the Thunder Emperor's Armor..."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao nodded slowly.
That was indeed the case.
Even with the Thunder Emperor's Armor, him matching a Divine King was one thing, but in the Divine Realm where there are five great Divine Kings and numerous other gods, he would likely struggle to protect himself with his current Cultivation Level.
"However, you don't need to worry. Breaking through to the God King realm isn't impossible."
"I'd like to hear more about that."
"You have the Asura God's godhood in your hand. Given ten years, you're sure to naturally break through to the God King realm."
The Thunder Emperor explained unhurriedly, "But absorbing and understanding someone else's power is ultimately slow, and once you absorb the God King's Position, your future prospects would be ruined. Rather than that, I might as well have let you absorb the godhood directly from the beginning."
"So, you mean, you want me to comprehend the realm of a Divine King on my own?"
"Exactly. To create your own God King's Position, this process is shorter, and your potential for the future is limitless."
"Can it really be done?" Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.
"Of course it can, although I'm not completely sure if you can succeed. Whether it works or not is up to you."
"How would I know if I don't try? What exactly should I do?"
```
"With my remaining strength, I can conceal Soul Land within the void for three years," he said. "Even a Divine King will not be able to detect the existence of Soul Land within these three years."
Besides, I will grant you one more opportunity for creation. If you come to understand it, you will definitely break through to the realm of the Divine King within three years. However, if you fail to comprehend anything, your doom will arrive after these three years."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "At this point, it seems I really have no other choice, right? Please do tell me what I should do, senior."
"I give you seven days to deal with the trivial matters of Soul Land. After seven days, find a secluded place to begin your closed-door cultivation."
"Understood."
Qin Xiao nodded, then left the Spirit Space.
When he opened his eyes, he realized the battle over Spirit City had nearly come to an end.
The corpses of abyssal creatures piled up like mountains.
Of course, the loss of humanity was also extremely severe.
Qin Xiao fell silent for a while.
No need to ask.
He knew that humanity was facing an unprecedented disaster.
And no one would be spared in this catastrophe.
"Your Highness..."
At that moment, several excited voices called out in unison.
Qin Xiao turned around to see Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and others rushing towards him.
"It's good that you are all safe."
Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Qin Xiao was still very relieved.
This was normal.
How many people are truly selfless?
Qin Xiao saw Zhao Wuji, too, "Old Zhao, you have worked hard."
"Hehe, this is what I should do," Zhao Wuji said with a laugh, scratching his head.
Qin Xiao then looked towards Liu Erlong, "How great were the losses for the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan?"
Liu Erlong thought seriously for a moment, "Although the losses are heavy, they are acceptable. Thankfully, we have formed an alliance with the major forces on Soul Land and gathered in Spirit City, where we still hold some power to resist; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, what was said was true.
Sea God's Island was an excellent example.
With the Black Emperor, a top-10 strength from the abyssal plane, descending, it was fortunate that we had Sea God's Trident, along with Poseissi and many Sea Soul Masters and sea soul beasts, to counter some of the forces from the abyssal plane.
What about those powers far inferior to Sea God's Island?
Undoubtedly,
Other than 'destruction', Qin Xiao could not think of another word.
"The war is not over yet; there are still a large number of abyssal creatures scattered all over Soul Land, which will take a long time to purge. Do not relax your vigilance easily."
Qin Xiao reminded Liu Erlong.
"You're right, we indeed need to work together,"
"And the war will last longer than we imagined."
"Destruction is easy, creation is hard. Even after the abyssal creatures are purged, planning the reconstruction is yet another big issue."
"..."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, Bi Bidong, and a seriously wounded Qiandaoliu, among others, also walked over.
They agreed with Qin Xiao's words.
"This matter can only be left to you all now."
"Are you leaving?"
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, everyone was stunned.
The intention to leave was not concealed in his words at all.
Even Ning Rongrong, who stood beside Qin Xiao, subconsciously tightened her grip on his clothes.
Qin Xiao gently patted Ning Rongrong's hand, "Don't worry, I'm just leaving for a while. My Cultivation Level has advanced too quickly, and some foundations are unstable; I need time to solidify them."
He did not mention the crisis in the Divine Realm to anyone.
Because with their abilities, they simply could not solve it; it would only increase their panic.
"I see," said Ning Rongrong as she let go of Qin Xiao's hand.
Of course, Ning Rongrong was easy to deceive.
Qiandaoliu, Ning Fengzhi, and others were somewhat skeptical about Qin Xiao's words, but they did not inquire further.
It's better to know less about the affairs of the martial world, as understanding some things might not benefit oneself.
Afterward, Qin Xiao struck with thunderous might, killing most of the abyssal powerhouses.
Among these were the Heavenly Bull Emperor and Bee Emperor, mighty beings from the top 10 layers of the abyss.
The remaining abyssal creatures were no longer a coherent force and couldn't pose much of a threat.
For the next five days, Qin Xiao didn't go anywhere; he stayed in a small courtyard within Spirit City, cherishing the time with the women.
No one disturbed them during those five days.
On the morning of the sixth day, the lively courtyard suddenly quieted down.
Because Qin Xiao had left.
He left them with these words, "This departure is only to ensure a better reunion next time."
...
Tiandou Empire.
Tiandou City.
Qin Xiao arrived at the outskirts of the city, which was a sight of devastation.
The once grand and majestic city was now only ruins and rubble.
The smoke of gunpowder still filled the air, unable to dissipate the pungent smell of blood.
It was hard to imagine the severe ferocity that had taken place here.
Fortunately, the disaster had passed, and under the lead of the Douluo Alliance, or the Douluo Federation, many people were active inside and outside the city, beginning the rebuilding process.
Walking through Tiandou City, Qin Xiao was filled with emotions.
After all, his memories of this city were remarkably profound.
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears.
"The knowledge I'm teaching you is unbeatable. You must study hard, understand?"
Curious, Qin Xiao followed the voice.
In a short while, he arrived at a dilapidated courtyard where Yu Xiaogang, tattered and unkempt, was enthusiastically imparting his knowledge to a few children.
They were all seven or eight years old, obviously commoners whose Martial Spirits had failed to awaken.
"Xiaosan, do you remember the ten core competencies I taught you yesterday?"
