The woman in the plain dress gazed for a long while before finally speaking. She turned her gaze towards an elderly man not far away, whose face was filled with disbelief.
She opened her palm and gently pressed down.
Boom!
In an instant, the space around the old man twisted and became illusory. Gradually, the old man transformed into a giant, his size at least three times that of an ordinary human. Moreover, his entire body emitted a layer of white flowing light, making him appear like a being of light at first glance.
This was the old man’s true form!
The woman in the plain dress glanced at him and remarked, “What is this thing? So ugly!”
The old man roared in anger, “Lowly humans, you were all created by us, the Divine Race. How dare you…”
The woman in the plain dress flicked her sleeve.
A sword light pierced through the old man’s brow.
Boom!
The layer of light surrounding the old man shattered, leaving only a faint, illusory soul.
The old man’s expression froze, his eyes filled with terror. “You… how can you harm me…”
The woman in the plain dress asked, “Humans were created by you?”
The old man stared at her, finally coming to his senses.
This human was different!
At that moment, an extremely terrifying aura began to spread from the distant horizon.
Seeing this, the old man’s face twisted into a grimace. “Lord Wuwei is coming! Woman, you’re finished! You…”
The woman in the plain dress suddenly drew her sword and slashed.
Swoosh!
In the distance, a bloody head flew through the air.
Instant kill!
Witnessing this, the old man was completely stunned.
She killed him just like that?
The woman in the plain dress glanced around, shaking her head with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. “Are the so-called creators of humanity really this weak?”
She then looked at the old man, puzzled. “Didn’t you create humans? Why are you so weak?”
The old man’s expression turned extremely grim. “Lowly human, kill me if you must, but do not insult me! We, the Divine Race, are not to be insulted by the likes of you…”
The woman in the plain dress shook her head. “I won’t kill you.”
She began to walk away, but after a few steps, she turned back to look at the old man. “You’re too weak to die by my sword.”
“Pfft!”
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood.
By then, the woman in the plain dress had already disappeared into the distance.
The old man’s face was ashen.
How could a human be so strong?
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared before the old man, wearing a silver crown.
Seeing the middle-aged man, the old man quickly said, “Lord Pingyang!”
The middle-aged man frowned. “Has a human broken through the restrictions we set?”
The old man nodded hastily. “Yes!”
Pingyang examined the old man. “You were no match for her?”
The old man’s expression darkened. “I was no match for her.”
Hearing this, Pingyang’s frown deepened, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. “Impossible… Even if humans from the lower realms cultivated to their limits, they shouldn’t be able to harm our Divine Race. How could a human injure you?”
The old man said gravely, “That’s what puzzles me too, but her sword can indeed kill me…”
He then looked at Pingyang. “Lord Pingyang, what should we do now?”
Pingyang slowly closed his eyes. “We thought everything was under our control, but it seems some humans have broken free from our grasp.”
The old man nodded. “That woman is incredibly strong!”
Pingyang suddenly asked, “Where did she go?”
The old man pointed into the distance. “That way!”
Pingyang looked in the direction the old man pointed, his eyes cold. “We cannot let her live, nor can we allow her to come into contact with our Divine Race’s civilization.”
He turned and ordered, “Issue a warrant for her capture. I want her alive! Only then will she have research value.”
From the shadows, a voice responded, “As you command!”
Pingyang looked into the distance and smiled faintly. “Let’s see just how strong this woman who broke free from our restrictions really is. However, since she managed to escape our control, she must have extraordinary qualities. She has immense research value! We must capture her alive!”
With that, he disappeared.
…
In the North Star Domain.
Jingzhi had also broken through!
As for what level she had reached, she wasn’t sure!
But she had definitely broken through!
After their breakthroughs, both Jingzhi and Xiao’an could freely escape the current universe’s spacetime.
However, they dared not stay in that spacetime for too long.
Because within that spacetime, there existed an extremely terrifying mysterious force—the same force that Ye Xuan had encountered before.
Even now, they were wary of that mysterious force.
Xiao’an suddenly said, “I can sense the stone gate!”
Jingzhi nodded. “Me too.”
Both women could now sense the stone gate.
Ye Xuan smiled wryly. “I can’t sense it.”
Xiao’an looked at Ye Xuan. “I’ll wait for you.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “That stone gate must lead beyond the universe.”
Xiao’an nodded. “It must.”
Ye Xuan glanced around and shook his head with a smile.
He hadn’t expected the Ancient Demon Clan and the Taiyi Clan to be finished so quickly.
He had been prepared for a life-and-death battle.
But he hadn’t expected Gu Ming and Taiyi Shenshui to seek out his father.
Even more unexpectedly, they actually managed to find his father.
Total annihilation!
What a mess!
Jingzhi suddenly asked, “What are your plans now?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Of course, I’ll explore beyond this universe. But before that, I need to take care of some personal matters.”
Jingzhi nodded. “Then I’ll wait for you too.”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Wait for me?”
Jingzhi smiled. “Being with you, Young Master Ye, makes me feel very safe.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Jingzhi glanced at Xiao’an. “If you want to fight, I’m ready anytime.”
With that, she turned and left.
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao’an, who remained silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Come with me.”
Xiao’an nodded. “Alright.”
Ye Xuan took Xiao’an and left.
…
In a cloud-filled realm, Fanduo, who had been meditating, suddenly looked up as Ye Xuan and Xiao’an appeared before her.
Fanduo was about to speak when she noticed Xiao’an and frowned. “You…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Xiao’an has broken through her limits and reached a level beyond the soul.”
Hearing this, Fanduo’s expression changed. “Really?”
Xiao’an nodded.
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao’an. “Xiao’an, can you guide her?”
Xiao’an thought for a moment and said, “The reason I was able to break through was because your father forcibly broke a certain seal. I don’t know what that seal was, but I can now sense the seal within her. However, I can’t break it.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “A seal?”
Xiao’an nodded. “It seems everyone has one. Wait…”
She looked at Ye Xuan. “You don’t seem to have one.”
Ye Xuan glanced at his body. “I don’t have one?”
Xiao’an nodded slightly. “I can’t sense it.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “What kind of seal is it?”
Xiao’an shook her head. “I don’t know. I can sense it, but I can’t break it. However…”
She hesitated.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Is there something you can’t say?”
Xiao’an said gravely, “I can share my experiences with her, but if no one can break the seal within her, even if she reaches her limits, she won’t be able to advance further. At most, she’ll only reach the level of Taiyi Shenshui.”
Taiyi Shenshui!
This person hadn’t truly reached the level beyond the soul, but he could briefly escape the universe’s spacetime, which was already quite terrifying.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then looked at Fanduo. “Why don’t you learn from Xiao’an for now? Later, I’ll ask Qing’er or my father to help you break the seal. How does that sound?”
Fanduo smiled. “Thank you!”
Xiao’an suddenly said, “Do you want to try using the Qingxuan Sword?”
The Qingxuan Sword?
Ye Xuan frowned and looked at the sword in his hand. “Can I?”
Xiao’an said, “It’s worth a try. This sword is extraordinary.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “But I can’t sense the seal within her.”
Xiao’an said, “I’ll help you.”
She extended her right hand and gently pressed down on Fanduo. As she did, Fanduo’s body trembled, and a faint black mark appeared above her head.
Xiao’an looked at Ye Xuan, who drew his sword and slashed.
Boom!
A sword light struck the black mark, and under their gazes, the mark trembled violently before shattering.
It actually worked!
All three of them were stunned.
Xiao’an looked at Ye Xuan. “Your sword is incredible.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Beside them, Fanduo said gravely, “But I don’t feel any different.”
Xiao’an said, “Follow me in cultivation, and it won’t be long before you can escape this spacetime.”
Fanduo bowed slightly. “Thank you.”
Xiao’an looked at Ye Xuan. “I’ll take her to the small tower.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright.”
At that moment, a woman walked over from the distance. “And me!”
It was Duo Yi!
Duo Yi approached Ye Xuan. “I want to join too.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Soon, Duo Yi and Fanduo entered the small tower to cultivate.
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. Could he create many super-strong experts with this?
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a smile.
After all, he was in desperate need of powerful allies, and with the Qingxuan Sword, he could elevate countless experts to new heights.
As if remembering something, Ye Xuan suddenly disappeared and reappeared in Qingzhou.
After being busy for so long, it was time to take care of some “proper” business!
He was getting tired of all the fighting and killing.
It was time to focus on having a child!
Ye Xuan arrived at the imperial palace’s main hall, where Tuoba Yan was busy. When she saw Ye Xuan, she was overjoyed and was about to stand up when Ye Xuan began to remove his clothes…
Tuoba Yan: “…”
