At this moment, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Ye Xuan flicked his sleeve, and a surge of thunderous might swept upwards.
Boom!
The terrifying pressure vanished without a trace.
At that moment, an old man appeared before Ye Xuan. Upon seeing him, the old man froze, “It’s you, King Backer!”
King Backer!
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly.
The old man hurriedly said, “I didn’t know it was you, my apologies for the disturbance!”
With that, he turned and vanished at the horizon’s end.
Ye Xuan was speechless, “Am I that terrifying?”
Mu Tiandao said, “It’s your sister who’s terrifying!”
Ye Xuan, “…”
Mu Tiandao continued, “Your physical body is terrifying now, not just in defence, but in attack, you’re an invincible existence! These divine thunders are world-destroying entities, and now they’re all gathered in you. Imagine the terrifying power your body holds!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Can I defeat someone at the Heavenly End Realm?”
Mu Tiandao replied, “Depends on who you’re facing! Against an ordinary Heavenly End Realm, with your bloodline and sword, you could win. But against a true, unadulterated Heavenly End Realm, you’d definitely lose!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “What’s an unadulterated one?”
Mu Tiandao said, “One like me!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Mu Tiandao continued, “You should get used to your body now!”
Ye Xuan nodded. He opened his palm, then clenched it tightly.
Boom!
In an instant, he transformed into a thunderous figure, and a terrifying, powerful pressure filled the heavens and earth.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath. At that moment, he felt infinite power in his right hand.
With one punch, he felt he could shatter the heavens and earth.
The power of thunder!
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
That invincible feeling was back!
Mu Tiandao suddenly said, “Your physical strength now is such that even Heavenly End Realm experts would struggle to break it, unless they were at my level. Otherwise, you could stand still and let Heavenly End Realm experts hit you, and they couldn’t kill you!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Are there many at your level?”
Mu Tiandao said, “In this world, they can be counted on one hand!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “That’s good!”
Mu Tiandao added, “You could try merging your bloodline power with this divine thunder!”
Ye Xuan was stunned, “Is that possible?”
Mu Tiandao said, “Try it!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright!”
With that, he opened his palm, and his bloodline power surged within him.
Boom!
The moment his bloodline activated, the thunder around him began turning blood-red.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan grew excited, discovering that the thunder could merge with his bloodline.
Mu Tiandao said, “With your bloodline’s power enhancing these divine thunders, they’re even more extraordinary!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Indeed!”
As if struck by a thought, he released his Human Sword Intent.
Three forces merged!
As the three forces combined, he found his aura surged instantly, several times stronger than before.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. He swung it casually.
Swoosh!
A blood-red thunderous sword light slashed towards the sky.
In an instant, the entire world within the Star Gate shattered.
In the dark void, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. Moments later, the thunder around him returned to his body, and his bloodline calmed.
Ye Xuan’s lips curved slightly. Now, Order Realm experts were nothing in his eyes.
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan put away the Qingxuan Sword and vanished from the spot.
Ye Xuan returned to the Northern Sect, remembering that Yun Qi was to take him to a special place.
Upon returning to the Northern Sect, Mo Yi appeared before him. Seeing Ye Xuan, Mo Yi hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Is Miss Yun Qi still here?”
Mo Yi nodded, “She’s still here, in seclusion!”
Still in seclusion!
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I’ll wait for her then!”
As Mo Yi was about to speak, he suddenly turned, sensing something, “She’s out!”
Out of seclusion!
Ye Xuan nodded and vanished from the spot.
When Ye Xuan arrived at Yun Qi’s courtyard, he saw a young man. Upon seeing the sword in the man’s hand, he was slightly stunned.
A sword cultivator?
It had been a long time since he’d seen one.
Seeing Ye Xuan, the young man frowned slightly.
Ye Xuan ignored him and sat to the side.
The young man looked at Ye Xuan, “Didn’t Mo Yi tell you not to disturb this place?”
Ye Xuan glanced at the young man and smiled, “I’m here to wait for Miss Yun Qi!”
The young man stared at Ye Xuan, “The young lady doesn’t wish to be disturbed, leave!”
Hearing the young man’s commanding tone, Ye Xuan frowned and said, “Can you speak more politely?”
The young man stared at Ye Xuan, his sword trembling slightly, “Disappear from my sight now, or you’ll regret it!”
Ye Xuan was stunned. At that moment, the door nearby opened, and Yun Qi walked out.
Seeing Ye Xuan and the young man, Yun Qi paused, then looked at the young man, “Why are you here?”
The young man bowed slightly, “The Lord sent me to bring you home!”
Yun Qi shook her head, “I don’t want to go home yet!”
The young man gave a wry smile, “Young lady, it’s the Lord’s order!”
Yun Qi said, “I don’t want to go back!”
She turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, have you finished your business?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’m done!”
Yun Qi nodded, “Let’s go then!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Alright!”
As they were about to leave, the young man suddenly said, “Young lady, before I came, the Lord instructed that you must return…”
Yun Qi looked at the young man, “Did he specify a time to return?”
The young man was stunned.
Yun Qi smiled, “No time specified, right? If not, the return is up to me!”
The young man looked troubled, “Young lady…”
Yun Qi said, “I don’t want to go back yet. Tell him, he won’t punish you!”
With that, she looked at Ye Xuan, “Let’s go!”
Ye Xuan nodded, and they soared into the sky.
The young man’s face darkened. Without much thought, he followed.
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan looked at Yun Qi, “Your family wants you back?”
Yun Qi nodded, “There must be something going on, or they wouldn’t ask me to return!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “You don’t seem keen to go back!”
Yun Qi nodded, “Indeed!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Yun Qi said, “They want me to inherit the family business. I don’t like being tied down, so I told them to give it to someone else, but they insist on me…”
She shook her head, “It’s troublesome!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Inheriting the family business means you’ll have lots of money, right?”
Yun Qi sighed softly, “What meaning is there in that kind of life? The meaning of life lies in striving! Besides, inheriting the business means I can’t do what I love!”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “What about you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Me?”
Yun Qi asked, “Do you have a family business to inherit?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I suppose I do, but my father doesn’t control me much. He prefers to let me roam free!”
Yun Qi smiled, “That’s nice, free and unrestrained!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “You haven’t been beaten! I used to get beaten every day… it was miserable!”
As Yun Qi was about to speak, the young man appeared behind them.
Seeing him, Yun Qi frowned, “You’re still not going back?”
The young man hesitated, then said, “I’ll follow you, young lady!”
Yun Qi shook her head, “You don’t need to follow me!”
The young man said solemnly, “Young lady, the Royal Clan has appeared!”
The Royal Clan!
Yun Qi’s brows furrowed slightly, “The Royal Clan?”
The young man nodded.
Yun Qi was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ll return after I finish this matter!”
The young man nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “The Royal Clan?”
Yun Qi said, “A very mysterious and terrifying race. Legend has it their ancestors were closely tied to the Master of the Great Dao, like royalty.”
The Master of the Great Dao!
Ye Xuan said, “From your tone, this Royal Clan sounds dangerous?”
Yun Qi looked at Ye Xuan, “Not just dangerous, very dangerous! Their ancestors did something to earn the Great Dao’s Pardon, which means no world’s Heavenly Dao can act against them. They’re practically above the law! That’s not the scariest part, though. The scariest is that this pardon can command the Heavenly Dao! Even the Dao God of the Dao Realm once obeyed them! And, it’s said, they even married a Heavenly Dao…”
She smiled, “Impressive, right?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Yun Qi looked at him, “Not impressive?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Quite impressive!”
Yun Qi glanced at him, then said, “The Royal Clan is far more terrifying than I described. This race established its own order in the myriad worlds, within the Master of the Great Dao’s order, of course. But, it’s rumoured their ancestors created an outer order, permitted by the Master. Scary, right?”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
Yun Qi stopped and looked at him, “Why aren’t you shocked after all I’ve said? Don’t you think this is impressive? Hmm?”
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, “Do you want me to be shocked?”
Yun Qi said seriously, “Normal people would be shocked hearing this, wouldn’t they?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Yun Qi watched him, waiting for an answer.
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “Want to know?”
Yun Qi nodded.
Ye Xuan beckoned, “I’ll tell only you!”
Yun Qi paused, then walked to him. Ye Xuan leaned in and whispered, “I’m not shocked!”
Yun Qi looked at him, “Why not?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Those who know, know!”
Yun Qi, “…”
