The Fifth Realm Gate-Nether Emperor Unleashed!

"Uuuugh..."

"Tsk, tsk... You still have the strength? Looks like it wasn't enough!" Xiao Feng shook his head and mocked him.

"Uuuugh..."

Bright Mystic Force circulated through Xiao Feng's body. By now, he had fully cultivated Miracle of Life to perfection, and its healing effects had improved severalfold compared to before.

Several breaths later, Ximen Qing could barely speak again.

But contrary to Xiao Feng's expectations, he had thought Ximen Qing would curse him. Instead...

"Envoy, save me!" The very first thing Ximen Qing did after regaining his voice was let out a desperate cry for help.

It seemed that after being tortured so badly, Ximen Qing's mind had actually cleared up quite a bit.

Hearing that, Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes but did not interrupt.

"Kehehehehe... How did you end up in such a miserable state? You've truly disgraced our sect!"

As the voice fell, a figure wrapped in a blue robe appeared before Xiao Feng.

The person's broad blue robe concealed their face from Xiao Feng, but that robe looked exceedingly familiar... Back then, the leader of the group that had taken Bai Ling'er away, Fu Chi Yao...

A Blue-Robed Envoy of the Creation God Sect...

Xiao Feng was not the only one observing the blue-robed figure. The blue-robed figure was observing him as well.

The Blue-Robed Envoy frowned beneath his robe. Ximen Qing had absorbed so much Divine Source Power that his strength should have reached at least the God Master Realm. Yet this person before him... was merely at the Peak God Lord level, but had beaten Ximen Qing into such a state. No, miserable was no longer enough to describe it.

It even sent a chill down his spine...

How had this person done it?

And his strength seemed able to keep surging endlessly. He had originally intended to observe a little longer, but Ximen Qing had called out to him directly.

He could no longer stand aside and watch.

And why did this person look so much like that Xiao Feng? It was as if they had been carved from the same mold.

Though the two looked alike, there was no way he could regard them as the same person. Not long ago, Xiao Feng had only been at Level 10 of the God Tribulation Realm, while this person possessed Level 10 God Monarch Realm mystic power. The gap was simply too vast. They could not possibly be the same person!

And he seemed to possess an inexplicable, "eerie" aura...

Yes, eerie was the only word he could use. He felt as though even a grown man like himself was about to be drawn in...

Xiao Feng spoke first. "A Blue-Robed Envoy of the Creation God Sect?"

"Oh? It seems Your Excellency has heard of our sect's name. That makes things much easier." The Blue-Robed Envoy said, "This man is a disciple of our sect. How has he offended Your Excellency?"

"He's Xiao Feng! That Divine Doctor Xiao Feng! Envoy, save me!" Ximen Qing cried out in alarm.

"What did you say? He's that Xiao Feng?" Upon hearing Ximen Qing's words, the Blue-Robed Envoy's voice rose sharply. He had never imagined that this person would be Divine Doctor Xiao Feng. One was in the God Tribulation Realm, the other in the God Monarch Realm... the difference was like heaven and earth. How could they be the same person?

"Too much talking!" Xiao Feng slashed down with the Hurricane Sword. Ximen Qing's neck was nearly severed, and his voice came to an abrupt stop.

Xiao Feng had guessed that there was another mastermind behind this. If he did not wipe them all out, how could he honor the spirits of Flowing Wind City?

And just as Xiao Feng had expected, this person's cultivation was Level 10 of the God Master Realm. In his estimation, this person should be the highest-ranking leader.

"A Peak God Master... Hehehe... What an impressive show of force. What did Flowing Wind City ever do to deserve attracting people like you?" Xiao Feng murmured in a voice that chilled the bones.

Rather than answer, the Blue-Robed Envoy tried to recruit Xiao Feng. "To think you defeated Ximen Qing with God Monarch Realm cultivation. Your reputation is indeed well deserved. Are you interested in joining our sect?"

"You've seen Ximen Qing's progress. If you join our sect, the next extraction of Divine Source Power can be entrusted to you..."

"Ximen Qing's divine spirit has already allowed him to reach the God Master Realm. If it were you, becoming a demigod would not be impossible..."

"Hehehe... Is this how you tricked Ximen Qing? It's one thing to fool that idiot, but you want to play me too?" Xiao Feng sneered coldly.

"Kehehe." The Blue-Robed Envoy gave a strange laugh. "Why would I deceive you? Ximen Qing's progress is right before your eyes. Why would I need to lie?"

"Ximen Qing's internal organs are failing, and even his life essence has developed fractures, yet he knows nothing about it. With such a tremendous price to pay, how dare you say such things!" Xiao Feng demanded furiously.

Hearing this, the Blue-Robed Envoy flashed a hint of surprise. Only then did he remember that Xiao Feng was also a doctor. But he quickly recovered and said, "To accept a god's blessing, one must always pay a price."

"Besides, our sect naturally has a way to restore him later." The Blue-Robed Envoy said, "And think about the heads of the Qi Family and Si Family. Both were at the Peak God Monarch Realm, yet they were killed by a junior who was countless years younger than them. Not only that, they gave up their lives, yet gained far less than our sect's divine blessing..."

"Doesn't that... already explain everything?" Ximen Qing asked.

Such an enticing promise. He believed Xiao Feng would never refuse it. No one would, unless they had no desire for the mystic path. But in a world filled with Abyssal Dust, no one could avoid obsessing over the mystic path or striving to improve their cultivation. Otherwise, there was only one outcome... death!

"If you want me to join, fine. But Ximen Qing must die! There can be no him if there is me, and no me if there is him..." Xiao Feng said leisurely.

After a brief hesitation, the Blue-Robed Envoy slowly nodded. "Fine. I will personally kill him when the time comes. What do you say?"

Hearing this, Ximen Qing, sprawled limply on the ground, began to tremble violently. He had never imagined that the envoy would not only refuse to help him kill Xiao Feng, but would instead try to recruit him. And not only recruit him, but even promise to kill him!

He instantly recalled what Xiao Feng had told him not long ago—"Or perhaps... would your so-called sect save someone who no longer has any value?"

"Hehehe..." Xiao Feng glanced at Ximen Qing's twitching body. He had not expected everything to go so smoothly. This person was truly being cooperative...

"Did you hear that..." Xiao Feng bent down and whispered into Ximen Qing's ear. "You... were played. No one would give you an opportunity for no reason. He let you bear the Divine Source Power while he watched from afar. And I suspect he had arrived long before I began torturing you."

"But he watched the whole time. That means you were merely a disposable pawn. I would even dare say that they only let you bear the Divine Source Power to produce one so-called God Master. You can throw your weight around in Flowing Wind City, but that is all."

"You can never make another bit of progress. So why did they make you bear the Divine Source Power, alter the City Defense Mystic Array, and go through so much trouble? What do you think?"

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's explanation, the Blue-Robed Envoy narrowed his eyes beneath the blue robe. "Oh? Then what do you think it was for?"

Xiao Feng slowly straightened. "Doesn't your Creation God Sect love seizing Divine Source Power most of all? I estimate that when the time comes, you will directly extract the Divine Source Power from Ximen Qing's body..."

"After all, your so-called method of creating gods cannot possibly be one that destroys talent and lifespan!"

"Clap, clap, clap... As expected of a doctor. You understand quite a lot." The Blue-Robed Envoy's words clearly acknowledged Xiao Feng's conclusion. "But no matter what, the increase in strength is real, isn't it?"

Hearing that, Ximen Qing fell completely into despair. His twitching body finally went still. His heart was dead. He... had been deceived...

If he had cultivated normally, then with his talent, he might not have become a demigod, but reaching the God Master Realm would have been a certainty...

But now, after absorbing so much Divine Source Power, he possessed God Master strength only through Divine Source Power. His cultivation could no longer advance, and he still faced death...

He should have had a bright future, but he had taken the wrong path...

"Divine Doctor Xiao, have you considered it? Join my Creation God Sect, and you can easily obtain supreme mystic power."

"One more thing." Xiao Feng did not answer. "Are you connected with the royal families of the various empires?"

The Blue-Robed Envoy did not answer directly. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Once you join our sect, you will know everything. So, have you made your decision?"

"What if I refuse to join?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Hehehe... What do you think?" the Blue-Robed Envoy asked in return.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Since my guess was correct, then..." As Xiao Feng spoke, he stepped on Ximen Qing's head. "If I kill him, will it disrupt your plans?"

"You..." The Blue-Robed Envoy clearly had not expected Xiao Feng to act this way. He had offered force and benefits alike, yet Xiao Feng, merely at the Peak God Lord level, still dared defy him!

"What about me? You all deserve to die!" Mystic power surged around Xiao Feng as he stomped down with his right foot.

"No... Stop!" Seeing this, the Blue-Robed Envoy immediately circulated all the mystic power of a Peak God Master. His mystic pressure crashed down upon Xiao Feng as he shot forward, instantly appearing beside him at top speed.

"I don't know who planned this scheme of yours, but... no matter who it was... everyone involved..."

Must! Die!

The Fifth Realm Gate—Nether Emperor Unleashed!

The Evil God Art had seven great realm gates. Every increase in realm gate would bring a violent eruption of mystic power, and Xiao Feng could open all seven realm gates at will. But once he could no longer withstand a realm gate's power, his body would explode and he would die.

At this moment, with God Monarch Realm cultivation, Xiao Feng could barely sustain the fifth realm gate!

And once it was opened, even a Level 10 God Master might not be able to stand against him!

Boom—!

With a thunderous blast, violent crimson waves erupted from Xiao Feng's body, sending his robes flying as though he had opened a gate leading straight to hell!
