Golden Robe Imperial Envoy! Eternal Layout!

If it weren't for the bronze coffin, Tang Jie would have fallen victim, either becoming a puppet of the God Demon Heart or its new body for resurrection.

It was also Tang Jie's good fortune. Since he didn't possess any large storage treasures, a heart hundreds of meters in diameter wouldn't fit into a Cosmos Bag. That's why it was placed in the bronze coffin, inadvertently resolving the crisis.

Sometimes luck is more important than strength!

Still shaken, Tang Jie decided to wait.

The bronze coffin had the ability to refine Innate Qi, and now it was reacting to the God Demon Heart. Tang Jie felt that waiting might lead to a change, as long as he didn't approach the bronze coffin beforehand.

"Re-condense the Pure Yang Golden Core."

Tang Jie waited for the bronze coffin's changes while condensing his recently damaged Pure Yang Golden Core.

In this desolate, uninhabited desert, Tang Jie used wisps of Innate Qi to repair his body, re-forming the Pure Yang Golden Core and returning to his peak state!

As for the bronze coffin, it continued to shine with a blood-red light.

Half a month later, Tang Jie opened his eyes and looked at the bronze coffin. The blood-red light on the coffin had vanished. Tang Jie listened carefully, and the sound of the heart beating from within the coffin had also disappeared.

"Is it resolved? Let's go take a look. If there's still a problem, I'll detonate the Pure Yang Golden Core again!"

Tang Jie pondered for a while. He had to check it sooner or later; dragging this out wasn't a solution.

So, Tang Jie cautiously approached the bronze coffin. He examined it closely and discovered a subtle change: a small pattern had appeared on its surface!

The pattern depicted a humanoid creature, seemingly composed entirely of dark red rock. It was powerfully built and roaring towards the sky.

"Isn't that the headless God Demon?"

Tang Jie was astonished. The small, dark red figure in the pattern was identical to the headless God Demon's corpse he had seen before, with the only difference being that the God Demon in the pattern had a head!

It seemed the bronze coffin had absorbed some kind of power from the God Demon Heart, resulting in this pattern.

"The bronze coffin is very strange. I'll need to be extra careful when using it in the future!"

Tang Jie secretly thought. The bronze coffin could suppress even Gods and Demons? Its origins were likely far greater than he imagined, and it might undergo unknown changes someday, so he needed to stay vigilant.

Then, Tang Jie slowly opened a corner of the bronze coffin's lid and peered inside. He was immediately stunned.

The God Demon's heart had vanished without a trace. Inside the coffin was blood as radiant as gemstones, each drop emitting a faint glow, exuding a sense of holiness and majesty!

"The God Demon Heart was absorbed by the bronze coffin? Refined into pure God Demon essence blood?"

This bizarre sight even startled Tang Jie.

"Rather than calling it the Innate Coffin, I think the God Burying Coffin is more fitting..." Tang Jie mused. It could devour and decompose the bodies of Gods and Demons, leaving behind only the purest God Demon essence blood.

Although Tang Jie didn't understand many of the recent events, looking at the shallow layer of God Demon blood in the coffin, he became excited. He knew his strength was about to undergo a qualitative leap!

Refining just one drop of God Demon essence blood had previously increased his Bloodline Power by one to two times. Now, the God Demon essence blood in the bronze coffin numbered two to three hundred drops.

This was the God Demon essence blood refined by the bronze coffin from the God Demon Heart. While fewer in quantity, its quality was exceptionally high, with no impurities, allowing for direct refinement!

If he could refine it all, the benefits would be unimaginable!

Tang Jie took a deep breath, retrieved a drop of God Demon blood from the bronze coffin, and began refining it to strengthen his Bloodline Power.

After refining the power of one drop of God Demon essence blood, Tang Jie felt as if he had consumed a potent supplement, and his Bloodline Power was rapidly growing!

Upon finishing the first drop, Tang Jie felt his Bloodline Power increase by twenty to thirty percent. He then proceeded to refine the second, third drops...

Tang Jie discovered that the more immense his Bloodline Power became, the harder it was to increase it by even a sliver. It was like eating meat; you couldn't gain weight proportionally to the amount of meat consumed. The stronger and closer to the limit one became, the harder it was to grow.

Even so, the speed at which Tang Jie's Bloodline Power grew was astonishing.

"Rumble!"

Blood-red light flashed around Tang Jie. The quality of the blood within him was improving. His blood flowed like a mighty river, emitting loud rumbling sounds and a faint glow.

In the history of martial artists, there were techniques for cultivating strength and techniques for cultivating the spirit, but no techniques for cultivating bloodline power had ever appeared. Tang Jie's cultivation technique for bloodline power, the God Demon Blood Realm, was a path less traveled and possessed infinite potential!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, over two months went by. The two to three hundred drops of God Demon essence blood refined by the bronze coffin were completely absorbed and refined by Tang Jie. Tang Jie felt a sense of fullness in his spirit, energy, and mind, his energy was more abundant, his mind sharper, and his body felt inexhaustible.

Having refined nearly three hundred drops of God Demon essence blood, Tang Jie's Bloodline Power had increased by at least a hundredfold compared to before. A single drop of his blood could now fill a small pond half a meter in diameter. This was a qualitative leap!

"What is the power of my God Demon Blood Realm now?"

Tang Jie was somewhat excited, eager to test the might of his God Demon Blood Realm!

God Demon Blood Realm!

Tang Jie circulated his Bloodline Power, and a rumbling sound echoed from within him. A wave of blood-red light erupted, spreading in all directions!

Rumble!

The range covered by the blood-red light easily surpassed the original hundred meters.

Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters...

"Crack crack crack!"

Wherever the blood-red light passed, it was like a heavy world crushing down. Cacti were pulverized, the ground was pressed and cracked, and the imposing power was akin to heaven and earth collapsing!

Two thousand meters!

This was the range Tang Jie's God Demon Blood Realm could cover: a radius of two thousand meters!

Within this range, Tang Jie seemed to be able to create his own world, suppressing enemies within it. He could even easily crush ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators into powder!

If Tang Jie had possessed such a powerful God Demon Blood Realm before, defeating the Evil Martial Emperor would not have required such great effort. Simply releasing the God Demon Blood Realm would have been enough to suppress the Evil Martial Emperor with ease.

"I wonder how I compare to those in the Nascent Soul Realm now?"

Tang Jie clenched his fists, feeling the surging Bloodline Power within him, he thought to himself.

Creating the God Demon Blood Realm and refining three hundred drops of God Demon Essence Blood had amplified the power of Tang Jie's God Demon Blood Realm to an exaggerated degree. Could this grant Tang Jie the ability to contend with Nascent Soul Ancestors?

Tang Jie was unsure, as he had never witnessed a Nascent Soul Realm expert unleash their full power. He had a brief exchange with the Nascent Soul expert from the Sacred Fire Sect, Fire Dragon Old Demon, but that proved nothing. Neither he nor Fire Dragon Old Demon had gone all out.

However, with a powerful God Demon Blood Realm, Tang Jie was confident that he wouldn't be completely outmatched when facing someone in the Nascent Soul Realm!

"I can leave now!"

Tang Jie thought.

Tang Jie had completely refined the God Demon Essence Blood extracted from the God Demon Heart. His own strength had greatly increased, and he could leave now!

Three months had passed since the incident in the Savage Mountain Range, and the situation should have calmed down.

"I'll return to Peerless City first and check on Father and the others."

Tang Jie decided to return to Peerless City first to gather information. Although Yun Ying had promised to look after Tang Tianhao and the others, he needed to confirm their safety before he could truly relax.

Tang Jie traveled back to the Great Xia Dynasty from the desert, returning to Peerless City. This was several days later.

Inside a cultivation room in the Wuhua Gate of Peerless City, a burly man was practicing martial arts. This man was Tieshan, one of the top experts in the Wuhua Gate.

As Tieshan was practicing, he suddenly seemed to sense something and quickly turned his head. He saw a man in black, Tang Jie, who had appeared there at some unknown time!

"Brother Tang!"

Tieshan was both surprised and delighted to see Tang Jie.

Tang Jie was now known as the strongest martial artist, and he had turned Peerless City into a true holy land for martial artists, enjoying immense prestige among them!

Tang Jie had been missing for nearly three months, and Tieshan was naturally unaware of the events that had transpired in the Savage Mountain Range three months prior.

"How are the City Lord and my father doing?"

Tang Jie asked directly.

Tang Jie's purpose in seeking out Tieshan was, of course, to inquire about Tang Tianhao and the others.

Although three months had passed, Tang Jie felt it was better to keep a low profile. Many people were likely still thinking about him.

Tieshan quickly replied, "More than three months ago, the Sect Master and the eldest young lady went on a trip to the Great Xia Imperial Capital. They also asked me to tell you not to worry."

"I see."

Tang Jie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It seemed Yun Ying had taken Tang Tianhao and the others to the Yun family in the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

The Yun family was located within the Great Xia Imperial Capital. Even if some people wanted to threaten Tang Jie by targeting Tang Tianhao, they wouldn't dare to make a move within the capital.

With Tang Tianhao and the others safe, Tang Jie felt at ease. Obtaining the God Demon Heart had made him a target, but as long as he was strong and displayed his power, letting those immortal cultivators know that he wasn't to be trifled with, no immortal cultivator would dare to covet him anymore!

"I'll go to Sunset Peak to cultivate for a while."

Tang Jie then left Peerless City, preparing to cultivate in the quiet Sunset Peak.

On Sunset Peak, Tang Jie watched the sun gradually setting on the distant horizon. He felt a moment of daze, sensing that he was getting closer and closer to a higher realm in the martial path!

"Who?"

Suddenly, Tang Jie's expression turned cold, and he turned around and shouted angrily.

In Tang Jie's perception, there was a second person on Sunset Peak!

"As expected of the strongest martial cultivator of this generation, to be able to sense my presence so quickly."

From behind a large rock on Sunset Peak, a man in golden robes, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, slowly emerged.

The man in golden robes wore a golden mask, which gave him a majestic and imposing aura.

"Who are you?"

Tang Jie narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in their depths. This man in golden robes clearly knew him very well, otherwise, he wouldn't have guessed that Tang Jie would come to Sunset Peak and would have been waiting here in advance.

Tang Jie harbored great hostility towards someone whose identity was unknown yet knew him so well!

The face beneath the golden-robed man's mask revealed a smile. He said calmly, "Tang Jie, you don't need to be nervous. I am not your enemy. You can call me... the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy!"

"Imperial Envoy? Golden Robe Imperial Envoy?"

Tang Jie frowned. The title was strange. Imperial Envoy, could it be an envoy of the current Xia Emperor or some other emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty?

"What do you want with me?"

Tang Jie did not lower his guard, pressing further. The Golden Robe Imperial Envoy gave him a dangerous feeling; he was definitely not an ordinary person, and his aura was very peculiar!

This made Tang Jie very curious. Was the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy looking for him because of the God Demon Heart?

But what the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy said next shocked him.

"Tang Jie, the reason I've come to find you is very simple. I have already approached other martial cultivators and invited them to jointly witness the birth of a prosperous era for martial artists and reach that supreme Martial Dao Realm. You are the last person I have invited!"

The Golden Robe Imperial Envoy clasped his hands behind his back and smiled.

"You are... the one who has gathered all the martial cultivators of all ages into one era?" These words caused Tang Jie to be uncontrollably shocked.

The reason martial artists like the Mad Beast and the Evil Martial Emperor fell into slumber for thousands or tens of thousands of years, only to awaken in the same era, was because they had all received a letter.

The letter described a secret technique similar to the art of suspended animation, which allowed one to enter a deep sleep and slow down the flow of their own lifespan.

Furthermore, the letter stated that after many years, an era of prosperity for martial artists would arrive, offering a chance to break through their current limits and reach higher realms of the Martial Dao!

This was undoubtedly like a beacon in the darkness for those martial artists struggling to achieve a breakthrough. They chose to believe the letter's words, fell into slumber, and awaited the arrival of the martial arts golden age.

Finally, in the current era, the time seemed to have come. Following Tang Jie's breakthrough, those sleeping martial artists experienced a chain reaction and all awoke in this era.

And the one who made them wait for so long, the one who told them that an era of prosperity for martial artists was coming, was this person before him who called himself the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy?

How long had this Golden Robe Imperial Envoy lived? What was his purpose in doing all this?

The Golden Robe Imperial Envoy sighed, "After waiting for so long, the Martial Dao will finally usher in an era of prosperity!"

Then, the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy changed his tone, "Tang Jie, come to the Endless Sand Sea in one month. I have already notified the other martial artists one by one. At that time, the strongest martial artists from all previous generations will gather, and a truly invincible martial artist will be born!"

There was a hint of excitement in the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy's voice; this was the era he had waited for countless years.

"What is your purpose in doing this? After all this effort, is it just to have a martial artist among us break through to the Innate Martial Dao?"

Tang Jie stared intently at the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy.

Tang Jie didn't quite understand the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy's motives.

After all this effort, gathering the strongest martial artists from every generation, was it merely to help one of them break through to the Innate Martial Dao realm?

"All these matters will be explained when you arrive at the Endless Sand Sea in one month. My identity and my purpose will all be revealed to you then."

The Golden Robe Imperial Envoy did not answer. Instead, he turned and took a step forward, crossing the void as if he had shrunk the ground into an inch. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from Tang Jie's sight.

"Endless Sand Sea... all martial artists from all of history gathered..."

Tang Jie watched the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy disappear into the distance, falling silent.

Tang Jie found the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy highly suspicious and was even more certain that he was an extremely dangerous individual. For him to go to such lengths to gather all martial artists into one era, was it truly just for the prosperity of the Martial Dao?

It was likely that only the Golden Robe Imperial Envoy himself knew the answers to all of this.
