Hearing the old man’s words, Fan Jian and the others below shifted uncomfortably.
Resources!
They’d thought they stood at the pinnacle of this universe, but now, that notion seemed laughably naive!
The world was full of powerhouses—they just hadn’t encountered them!
It’s like in the mundane world: you think you’re rich?
Little do you know, there are plenty wealthier!
People should never take themselves too seriously.
In the spacetime passage, the Snow Mountain King suddenly laughed heartily, “If you won’t give it, I’ll take it myself!”
With that, he vanished, a powerful force sweeping through the scene!
Before the stone gate, the old man’s face remained expressionless. He raised his hand and pressed down hard!
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, a figure plummeted from the sky.
It was the Snow Mountain King!
As he stopped, the spacetime behind him dissolved into nothingness!
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions grew solemn!
Clearly, the Snow Mountain King was no match for this old man!
How strong was he?
Below, Ye Xuan glanced at the old man, feeling a headache coming on!
What was up with today?
Why were so many supreme powerhouses popping up?
Before the stone gate, the old man looked down at the Snow Mountain King, his eyes cold, “An ant shaking a tree!”
The Snow Mountain King laughed, “Again!”
With that, he vanished again.
Before the gate, the old man frowned. The next moment, he closed his eyes and raised an arm to block.
Boom!
Before anyone could react, a powerful force slammed into his arm, forcing him back tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, a figure crashed down from above.
The old man snapped his head up, about to strike, but the Snow Mountain King vanished once more.
The old man’s brows creased, a flicker of gravity in his eyes, “Transcending spacetime…”
Then, his pupils shrank as the spacetime around him collapsed and annihilated!
Boom!
He was forced back another ten thousand feet!
Stopping, a savage glint flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and threw a fierce punch!
Boom!
The spacetime before him boiled and shattered!
But the Snow Mountain King wasn’t there!
The old man frowned again, scanning around. Suddenly, a fist imprint appeared before him without warning. Reacting swiftly, he met it with a punch of his own!
Boom!
The imprint shattered under his blow!
Then, he spun and slammed his palm downward.
Boom!
The spacetime within hundreds of thousands of feet annihilated!
Below, Ye Xuan and the others’ faces paled, retreating hastily. Clearly, this old man didn’t care about the Burial Domain’s fate in his bid to kill the Snow Mountain King!
After retreating hundreds of thousands of feet, they saw the Snow Mountain King appear a thousand feet from the old man. The old man sneered, “You think transcending spacetime means you can kill me? Laughable!”
With that, he stepped forward. As he did, the spacetime around him, centred on his foot, began to burn!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the others in the distance blanched. This old man truly didn’t care about the Burial Domain!
At this rate, the domain would be obliterated!
In the distance, the Snow Mountain King opened his palm, and an illusory ice shield appeared before him. Just as it formed, a fist imprint struck!
Boom!
The divine domain around him shattered, and he was flung back thousands of feet. As he stopped, the old man appeared before him again!
A flash of ferocity crossed the Snow Mountain King’s eyes. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward and threw a punch!
Boom!
He was blasted into a mysterious spacetime abyss. At the same time, the spacetime within millions of feet turned pitch black, and the shockwaves from him and the old man continued rippling outward!
The entire Burial Domain was grievously wounded!
Seeing this, Fan Jian, Gu Chou, and the others in the distance looked grim!
Whether it was Fan Jian’s side or the Evil Clan, none wanted this universe destroyed—it was their home!
That’s why, during their earlier battle, Gu Chou and the Snow Mountain King had fought in distant spacetime realms!
But now, this old man’s recklessness would soon wipe out the Burial Domain entirely!
Then, Gu Chou turned to Ye Xuan. After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Brother Ye, could you help me protect this spacetime?”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man battling the Snow Mountain King, “If they don’t stop, we can’t hold it!”
Gu Chou fell silent.
Though Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword could repair spacetime, as he’d said, if the Snow Mountain King and the old man kept going, even the sword couldn’t save the Burial Domain!
Just then, the Snow Mountain King stopped. He looked at the old man, “Another place?”
Clearly, he didn’t want to destroy the Burial Domain either!
The old man sneered, “Why should I change locations with you?”
The Snow Mountain King frowned, “Our fight has nothing to do with others!”
The old man scoffed, “Didn’t expect the Snow Mountain King to be so merciful? From what I know, you plundered the Burial Domain’s resources to reach another level. Now you’re feeling pity for its beings? Don’t you find that laughable?”
The Snow Mountain King stared at him, “You want to destroy this domain!”
The old man smirked coldly, “You guessed it!”
With that, he stepped forward, and a terrifying aura erupted from him. Instantly, the entire Burial Domain’s spacetime boiled!
Seeing this, Gu Chou and the others’ faces sank!
This old man genuinely intended to annihilate the domain!
Then, Gu Chou called out, “Sir, is it necessary to destroy the entire Burial Domain?”
The old man shot him a cold glance, “I’ll destroy what I want. Got a problem with that?”
Gu Chou frowned, “Old man, let me tell you, you can destroy us, fine, but there’s someone here you can’t afford to cross. Think carefully!”
The old man sneered, “Someone I can’t afford to cross? Are you joking?”
Gu Chou pointed at Ye Xuan, furious, “My Brother Ye is here—how dare you act recklessly?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened. What the hell, Gu Chou, what’s your game? Are you trying to drag me into this mess?
The old man looked at Ye Xuan, frowning slightly, “You…”
Gu Chou quickly added, “This is my Brother Ye, the top second-gen… no, top genius of our time! Don’t say I didn’t warn you—if you touch him, a sword might just pierce your skull!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The crowd: “…”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. After a moment, he said gravely, “Why do I feel a hint of danger the moment I think of killing you?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, about to speak, when Gu Chou appeared before him. Clasping his fists, Gu Chou said, “Brother Ye, you called me Brother Gu, I called you Brother Ye—we’re brothers. As brothers, I’ve a favour to ask, and you won’t refuse, right?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, “You…”
Gu Chou clapped his shoulder, grinning, “I knew you wouldn’t say no!”
Before Ye Xuan could respond, Gu Chou snatched the Qingxuan Sword from his hand. The next moment, he vanished, reappearing before the old man. He held out the sword, smiling, “Sir, I know you’re strong, but dare you compare with the one who forged this blade?”
The old man glanced at it, then laughed, “What, threatening me?”
Gu Chou smiled faintly, “Wouldn’t dare!”
The old man looked at him, “I’ll be honest. It’s not me who wants to wipe out your universe—it’s those above. The Snow Mountain King’s emergence made them feel a sliver of threat! Just a sliver, but they don’t want this universe producing someone even stronger in the future! Understand?”
Gu Chou paused, then said, “I do!”
The old man pointed at Ye Xuan below, “You said all that to bait me into targeting him. Clearly, this kid’s no ordinary sort! But what you don’t realise is, the more extraordinary he is, the more he needs to die! The ones above won’t allow any anomalies!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Gu Chou fell silent, then looked at Ye Xuan with a wry smile, “Brother Ye, I’m no good at this swaggering stuff—better you take over!”
With that, he returned with the Qingxuan Sword and said, “Sorry, I wanted to save my clan, so I tried dragging you in. But looks like you don’t need me to stir trouble—you’re a walking hate magnet… I was worried, but seeing him target you, I’m suddenly not panicked! Heh…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The old man’s gaze settled on Ye Xuan, “Even the Snow Mountain King didn’t make me feel danger, but you do. Kid, care to explain why?”
Ye Xuan paused, then said, “I’ve no intention of being your enemy!”
The old man stared at him, “But what if we insist on your death?”
Ye Xuan frowned, puzzled, “Just because I make you feel a hint of danger?”
The old man nodded, “We don’t allow anyone who could threaten us to exist! Nipping genius in the bud—surely you get that?”
Ye Xuan looked at him, “So you’re set on killing me?”
The old man said, “Yes, because we don’t want another Snow Mountain King!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “You’re so unreasonable!”
The old man said, “Call your people!”
He paused, then smirked, “Oh, call whoever you want, as many as you like. We’re invincible—go wild!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
