Under the pitch-black night sky, Su Que’s Lifebound Demon Seed left his body, emitting a purple glow as it roamed through the sky.

His Lifebound Demon Seed roamed for nearly two hours, skimming over the clouds, diving into the sea.

That burning sensation did not occur again.

"Tribulation Seed Realm Second Stage: Night Wanderer, achieved!"

Su Que thought to himself, with a single thought, the Demon Seed flew out from the sea, entered his forehead, and straight down to the lower dantian.

Then, he urged the power of his Lifebound Demon Seed, throwing a punch towards the sea surface.

The Tribulation Seed Realm is inherently a state of training the spirit.

And spirit can channel Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, forming the intent of heaven and earth.

After reaching the Second Stage of the Tribulation Seed Realm, his spirit improved significantly.

After throwing a punch, a powerful fist intent surged forth immediately, gathering the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in a whirl, propelling forward with his fist intent!

Boom!

His fist intent struck the sea surface, instantly a water column like a giant white dragon leaped up from the sea and then crashed down.

"After advancing a minor realm, the power of techniques increased significantly."

Su Que estimated the power of his casual punch, thinking to himself.

"After the Tribulation Seed Realm, comes Day Wanderer!"

Having reached a new realm, Su Que aimed for the next realm.

"The cultivation of the Tribulation Seed Realm is the cultivation of spiritual power."

"Once spiritual power improves again, the Tribulation Seed can exit the body, even when exposed to the scorching sun, without getting harmed."

Thinking of this, Su Que concentrated his mind and continued practicing the Demon Saber.

As he executed the sword techniques of the Demon Saber, that cool feeling at his brow emerged once again, his spirit growing ever stronger.

...

Outside the east gate of the Capital City.

Li Xuanji, with graying temples and a scholarly demeanor, wore bright armor, seated high on a sweat-blooded stallion.

He led an army of over ten thousand, pressing straight towards the east gate.

The Liang Kingdom’s soldiers in the capital city tightly closed the city gates, still putting up resistance.

When Li Xuanji led his troops to charge, thousands of archers on the city walls of the capital city fired arrows in unison.

In an instant, a rain of arrows, like locusts, covered the sky, rushing towards Li Xuanji.

Li Xuanji remained unafraid, leading the charge, swinging his treasure saber that emitted a cold glow, forming a wall!

The clanging sound was incessant as the rain of arrows struck and broke upon this wall.

Pieces of short arrows scattered in all directions.

The soldiers behind Li Xuanji, seeing their commander’s bravery, were instantly invigorated with morale.

They tugged at their reins, gripping the horses with their legs, and followed Li Xuanji in his charge.

The army surged forward like a tidal wave, pushing toward the east city gate.

Li Xuanji was the first to reach the east city gate; the heavy gate was tightly shut.

He immediately shouted, channeling the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, executing the "Nine Nether Sky Dominator," slashing his sword towards the city gate!

A massive Sword Gang, as if carrying the power of heaven and earth, burst forth from his blade, crashing into the city gate!

Clang!

A deafening boom sounded, the city gate opened on impact.

"Heh!"

As the gate opened, a martial arts expert from Liang Kingdom suddenly leaped high, fist gathering a Fist Gang, attacking Li Xuanji.

Li Xuanji felt a sudden oppression, realizing this martial arts expert’s realm was likely also in the Late Stage of Gang Condensation Realm, akin to his own.

Considering that soon he would become emperor, he chose not to use the lifespan-consuming Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill again.

But he gritted his teeth, once again utilizing the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, executing another "Nine Nether Sky Dominator," using his sword, clashing with the martial arts expert’s Fist Gang!

The martial arts expert was immediately engulfed by a massive Sword Gang, the whole person split into two halves.

Li Xuanji once again led the charge inside, shouting:

"Those who surrender will not be killed, nor will the common people; everyone else, kill on sight!"

These words were emitted from his dantian, spreading in all directions.

Even the last of his soldiers heard these words clearly.

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Heaven-Breaking Army were even more energized!

Tens of thousands of soldiers swarmed out towards the city gate.

The Liang Kingdom soldiers blocking the way were instantly turned into blood and broken limbs by this surge of soldiers.

Li Xuanji charged on horseback, cutting down anyone blocking him.

With a special method, he infused True Qi into the horse, making it run even faster.

Riding like the wind, he soon reached the inner city of the Imperial City.

Gazing at the vermilion, towering palace walls, he was moved to tears.

In the past, when the Li Family ancestors lived in this Imperial City, they had renowned painters capture its scenery.

When the Li Dynasty fell, the descendants who fled brought these few paintings with them.

Li Xuanji saw these paintings in his childhood, listening to his father talk of their ancestors’ tales.

Now, having finally restored the kingdom, thinking of the Li Family’s thousand-year history of hiding and fleeing, and the huge toll on his lifespan from cultivating the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill for restoration.

All these things forced him to tears.

Li Xuanji rode into the Imperial City, slaughtering all the members of the Xiao Family of Liang Kingdom, sparing no one.

Leaving only a few Xiao clan members, crippling their limbs, he interrogated them about any Xiao Family members outside the capital city.

He intended to uproot them completely to avoid the tragedy of the Xiao Family of Liang Kingdom restoring the kingdom.

Li Xuanji slaughtered his way through and finally saw the throne of Liang Kingdom.

At that moment, his heart was finally at ease.

He began to consider how to rebuild the order after ascending to the throne.

...

On the deserted island, after two more days of cultivation, Su Que considered that he had been away for some time, so he returned to Jiannan Prefecture City once.
