Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Showdown with Water Element Divine Abilities (Part 1)

Qin Feng opened his eyes. Looking at the shattered table and chairs, he nodded to himself.

Outside the main hall, Qin Yumei, who was standing in attendance, saw this, and her face lit up with joy. "Congratulations, Venerable Lord, on your advancement in Cultivation!"

Qin Feng replied, "It’s still far too early. This is merely a superficial understanding of the Void Vibration Mystical Meaning. If I truly mastered it, I could probably shatter the Void within a hundred-foot radius in a single move!"

He casually took out the Beiming Divine Water Sword and slashed out with a wave of his hand.

PSHCHT!

It was like a sharp sword slicing through water, instantly parting it.

’The power of the Void Mystical Meaning!’

Qin Feng was now gradually learning to fully utilize the power of the Void Mystical Meaning, integrating it into his Movement Technique, Stepping Technique, Martial Skills, and even his Swordsmanship.

Of the Daluo God Sealing Thirteen Swords, Qin Feng had only cultivated one, yet he had forged a unique Sword Dao that was entirely his own.

After several evolutions, the power of his Primordial Element Tide Extinction Sword had grown immensely.

This was Qin Feng’s Sword Dao.

Qin Feng didn’t need some overwhelmingly powerful Sword Dao or tyrannical Cultivation Technique; he only needed the Sword Dao that suited him best.

This Sword Dao would grow with him, becoming more complete and more powerful over time.

At this moment, his Primordial Element Tide Extinction Sword was already beginning to fuse with the Void Mystical Meaning.

If one day Qin Feng could fully integrate the Void Mystical Meaning into this single sword strike, a single slash could likely achieve Heaven and Earth Creation.

A sword to sweep the Divine Land for three days and nights; a single blade’s light to chill nineteen provinces!

He recalled the legendary grace of the first Sword Ancestor.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a sense of yearning and admiration.

With that slash, Qin Feng had integrated a trace of the Void Vibration Mystical Meaning, effortlessly tearing open the Void.

Previously, even if Qin Feng had channeled all his True Power, he would have at most been able to make it tremble slightly.

Watching this, Qin Yumei felt a chill creep into her heart.

Although that flash of sword light had no grand visual phenomena, she felt it was more terrifying than any other.

That single strike already carried a hint of the Sword Dao’s Fifth Realm: All Laws Return to One.

’The Patriarch is truly growing stronger by the day. This rate of change is astonishing. With his current Cultivation, he’s probably already on par with those County Families with over three thousand years of history. In the future, he might even be able to elevate the Qin Family to a Duke Family, or perhaps even an Emperor Family!’

On the Spirit Sea Continent, there were also tiers among families.

The lowest tier was the hundred-year-old prominent families. Above them were the thousand-year-old families, which controlled numerous branches and had a vast sphere of influence.

For example, the Qin, Xu, and Ning Families of Mountain and River City had branches spread throughout the surrounding major towns, making them the local tyrants of the region.

Such families were typically overseen by experts at the Sea of Reincarnation Level.

Next were the families with a legacy of over three thousand years. Families of this caliber were known as County Families.

County Families controlled multiple large cities on the scale of Mountain and River City. Their influence was immense, and they had ancestors at the Martial Arts Giant Level overseeing them.

Many such families had founded their own Commandery Kingdoms, with their Patriarchs typically holding the title of Commandery Prince.

Above them were the Duke Families. A Duke Family had at least three Martial Arts Giant ancestors overseeing it.

Such a family could found a Middle-Grade Commandery Kingdom at the very least.

A family like this was already comparable to some third-rate Major Sects.

Above them were the Emperor Families, which were comparable to second-class Major Sects. An Emperor Family had at least three Great Powers overseeing it and possessed its own inheritance Secret Realm.

The inheritance was the most crucial aspect of a great family.

The reason Emperor Families were called as such was that they were completely different from ordinary families.

Emperor Families had Martial Dao Great Powers overseeing them.

A Martial Dao Great Power could reincarnate their True Soul. Although such a being only had one chance to be reborn this way, one could only imagine how terrifying they would be. After being reborn, their aptitude and comprehension would certainly be top-notch. Furthermore, once their memories from their past life reawakened, their potential would be frightening to contemplate.

The number of powerful experts in such a family was far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

The vast majority of geniuses on the Martial Arts Pride Ranking were peerless prodigies who were the reincarnations of Great Powers, or even fallen gods.

For Martial Arts Strongmen, it wasn’t about who your father was, but who you were in your past life.

The Royal Families of the Nine Great Empires were all Emperor Families.

Legend had it that above the Emperor Families, there existed the truly supreme Emperor Races.

The strength of an Emperor Race was in no way inferior to a first-rate Major Sect.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Qin Yumei took a step forward and said, "Venerable Lord, during the few days you were in seclusion, the Five Great Families have been frequently contacting the Whale Shark Race. It seems their experts will be making a move soon. Should we launch a preemptive strike and eliminate the Five Great Families?"

"No, not yet!"

If this were before, when he was acting alone, Qin Feng would have long since found an opportunity to slaughter all of the Five Great Families.

But he couldn’t do that now.

His status had changed. He was now the City Lord of Yunhu City. If he engaged in a wanton slaughter, it would be detrimental to the stability of the city.

A bandit needs no reason to kill.

But a person in power must have a reason.

’The higher one’s position and the greater one’s power, the more one has to weigh their options!’

As this thought crossed his mind, a flicker appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. He said, "Don’t worry. The Five Great Families are like turtles in a jar right now. They won’t be jumping around for much longer. The only reason I haven’t killed them is that the big fish hasn’t taken the bait yet!"

Qin Yumei then said, "Oh, right, Patriarch. A few days ago, two Martial Artists claiming to be from the Wood Emperor Sect came to pay their respects to the City Lord!"

The Wood Emperor Sect was one of the Eight Hundred Side Sects. They possessed the Legendary Level Technique, the "Wood Emperor Scripture," as their core Secret Technique, as well as twenty-four Wood Element True Inheritances.

They were ranked first in the Wood Element among the Eight Hundred Side Sects.

This was by no means an undeserved reputation.

The Wood Emperor Sect was highly skilled at cultivating Spirit Medicine, and for this reason, they were held in high regard by some of the Great Powers of the Star Sect.

Qin Feng was no stranger to the Wood Emperor Sect; it was one of the major side sects affiliated with the Star Sect.

"What are their names?"

"Jun Ruoli and Xu Qiqi!"

"The Wood God Child, Jun Ruoli, and the Heavenly Eye Goddess, Xu Qiqi!" Qin Feng’s gaze shifted, a trace of surprise showing in his eyes.

These two were more than just famous.

They were the two most famous geniuses of the Wood Emperor’s current generation and could not be underestimated.

"Where are they now?"

"After waiting for half a day and seeing that you were in seclusion, they left. However, before she departed, Miss Xu gave us a piece of information!"

"What information?" Qin Feng’s brows twitched as he looked at Qin Yumei.

Qin Yumei said, "She urged you to be extremely careful at the upcoming Cyan Forest Banquet."

’What does she mean? Could there be some secret about the Cyan Forest Banquet this time? And why would she warn me about it?’

As he pondered this, a look of bewilderment appeared on Qin Feng’s face.

He and this Xu Qiqi were strangers who had only met by chance. Why would she warn him about the Cyan Forest Banquet for no reason?

Just then, Qin Feng’s expression changed dramatically.

RUMBLE!

The next moment, a sound like the heavens collapsing and the earth sundering echoed in his ears.

More than half of the city’s residents were abruptly woken up.

VMMMM!

The ground was trembling!

Qin Feng’s expression changed again as he appeared outside the City Lord’s Mansion. At that moment, over Cloud Lake, a monstrous, sky-high tidal wave filled his vision.

The surging water blotted out the sky and sun. It was like dark clouds obscuring the moon, blocking out even the daylight.

This terrifying sight fell upon the eyes of many Martial Artists in Yunhu City, frightening them so much they could barely stand.

Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed.

’The experts of the Whale Shark Race are making their move!’

At the same time, Qin Feng’s powerful Divine Thought detected the sounds of fighting and killing coming from outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Two streaks of light flashed, and the figures of Qin Qingyun and Qin Qinghong appeared behind him, their faces filled with urgency and anger.

"City Lord, this is bad! Experts from the Whale Shark Race have appeared in the city! They’re slaughtering the citizens!"
