In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Over that month, Azure World underwent earth-shaking changes.
After Chen Xuan returned from the Never-Sun Empire, he did not stop moving. He spent several days traversing the entire Xia Dynasty, uprooting every Secret Martial Arts Association stronghold lurking in the shadows.
Those Secret Martial Arts warriors hiding in the dark had nowhere to conceal themselves before the perception of peak Divine Intent Realm. They were dragged out one after another, stripped of the power bestowed by Gene Serum, then expelled from the country.
William Smith was personally captured by Chen Xuan at the Capital City headquarters.
This president of the Secret Martial Arts Association, major general of the Foreign Allied Forces, and successful recipient of Third-Generation Genetic Serum did not even have time to mutate before Chen Xuan sealed all the qi and blood in his body with one finger, leaving him crumpled helplessly on the ground.
"From this day forth, the Secret Martial Arts Association shall cease to exist."
Chen Xuan stood atop the ruins of the Secret Martial Arts Association headquarters. His voice was calm, yet it spread across the entire Xia Dynasty like thunder.
When the news spread, the whole nation erupted in celebration.
Martial artists and ordinary citizens once oppressed by the Secret Martial Arts Association poured into the streets, cheering in celebration.
And Chen Xuan's title had changed from "Martial Deity" to "Progenitor of Martial Arts."
Afterward, Chen Xuan spent another week traveling through every nation of the Foreign Allied Forces.
He killed no one and destroyed no cities.
He merely stood above each nation's capital, allowing his Divine Intent Realm to blanket the entire city and letting everyone feel that pressure, as mighty as the heavens themselves.
The month came to an end.
