Xiao Ying was not surprised that two supreme treasures deployed in succession had stopped the Five-Colored Peacock.
In theory, specialized supreme treasures such as the Sacred Wood and the Other Shore Golden Bridge possessed a measure of absoluteness. Only by absolutely countering their targets did they deserve the word "sacred." However, this applied when the difference between the two sides' cultivation realms was small. If the gap was too vast, their effectiveness would naturally diminish.
Xiao Ying's cultivation realm was still far below the Emperor Realm, but through the Imperial Dao, he drew upon his people's strength and Totem Power. Though their quality remained vastly inferior, their quantity more than made up for it.
What surprised Xiao Ying was that, moments after killing Demon Emperor Lixia, he clearly sensed the vast, pure vital energy granted by the Heaven-Mending Divine Ability, yet some mysterious force seemed to suppress it. For the moment, he could neither draw upon it nor put it to use!
Could the Heaven-Mending Recompense have been temporarily frozen because I'm undergoing the tribulation of founding a nation? Is this a peculiarity of the Imperial Dao? If it all comes back at once, won't it burst me to death?!
Amid his confusion, Xiao Ying speculated with considerable concern. Still, from his experience, the Heaven-Mending Recompense was the purest of powers. It probably would not burst him apart.
He did not know whether this counted as a blessing or a curse.
After all, although Xiao Ying could not break through in cultivation, the power of the Heaven-Mending Recompense could restore a tremendous amount of his strength, more effectively than any Immortal Elixir or miraculous medicine.
"Skree..."
After Kong Nishang's attack failed, Demon Emperor Wushang immediately let out a piercing cry. Four wings spread, sweeping toward the Other Shore Golden Bridge
