Created by the Divine Human Race?
Yan Zhi fell into deep thought.
If it was created by the Divine Human Race, that would mean a divine human had descended to assist humanity!
And not just any ordinary divine human!
Who could it be?
In an instant, countless divine human experts flashed through Yan Zhi’s mind.
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and the Qing Xuan Sword appeared in his hand. He smiled and said, “Miss Yan Zhi, I have other matters to attend to. Farewell!”
With that, he turned and left.
Yan Zhi watched Ye Xuan’s departing figure in the distance, remaining silent.
Beside her, Qin Shui suddenly asked, “Mentor, do you really believe that sword was forged by our Divine Human Race?”
Yan Zhi said gravely, “This sword holds infinite mysteries. The principles of time and space contained within it far surpass those of this universe. Moreover, there are aspects of it that even I cannot comprehend. This sword could not have been forged by humans!”
Qin Shui frowned, “Then who could have made it?”
Yan Zhi murmured softly, “I don’t know! But it definitely wasn’t an ordinary divine human! What could their intention be? To support humanity?”
As she spoke, her brows furrowed.
Qin Shui suddenly asked, “Mentor, could Ye Xuan be lying?”
Yan Zhi replied, “That shouldn’t be the case. He even swore on his character! Besides, that sword is definitely not something humans could have forged!”
Qin Shui said solemnly, “Then what should we do now?”
Yan Zhi said, “You return to the Divine Human Race and inform the clan leader about this. I will stay here to observe further.”
Qin Shui nodded, “Alright!”
After speaking, she turned and disappeared into the horizon.
Yan Zhi glanced into the distance and then vanished from the spot.
…
Elsewhere, Jing Zhi looked at Ye Xuan, “They are from the Divine Human Race!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Jing Zhi said gravely, “Why not kill them?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Would killing those two make a difference?”
Jing Zhi replied, “True…”
Ye Xuan glanced around and then said, “Without realizing it, I, Ye Xuan, have become the standard-bearer for humanity…”
As he spoke, he shook his head with a smile, “It feels like a dream!”
Jing Zhi smiled, “Do you regret it?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “As you said, a battle with the Divine Human Race is inevitable, isn’t it?”
Jing Zhi looked up at the depths of the starry sky, “You know, we once wanted to leave this existing universe, to see the universe beyond! However, when we finally had the chance to leave, we discovered that the outside world harbored such malice toward us!”
Curiosity!
Often, human curiosity can be humanity’s downfall!
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, a massive stone gate suddenly appeared above them!
The Divine Gate!
The stone gate slowly opened, and a terrifying pressure swept down. Immediately after, an old man walked out!
Elder Zhang!
After appearing, Elder Zhang looked at Ye Xuan and said, “You cannot protect humanity!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You seem to be human too!”
Elder Zhang said, “I am different from you!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “How so?”
Elder Zhang replied, “I can become a divine human! After humanity is exterminated, all members of the Divine Gate will ascend to the Divine Domain, where we can embrace the Divine Civilization—a civilization far superior to humanity’s!”
The Divine Domain!
Ye Xuan frowned.
At that moment, Elder Zhang suddenly added, “We originally intended to give all humans a peaceful death, but since you insist on resisting, don’t blame us for being inhumane!”
As his voice fell, the surrounding space began to tremble. In the next moment, the space around them started to crack, and then the entire area began to burn!
In fact, the entire existing universe was beginning to burn!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan said gravely, “There must be a formation enveloping our existing universe. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to destroy it so easily!”
Jing Zhi nodded, “That must be it!”
Ye Xuan looked at the stone gate, “It’s behind that gate!”
Just as Jing Zhi was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly drew his sword and charged forward!
Whoosh!
A streak of sword light shot into the sky, directly slashing toward Elder Zhang in front of the stone gate!
Seeing Ye Xuan charging at him with his sword, Elder Zhang slowly pressed his right hand downward, and a massive palm print descended from the sky.
Boom!
The space above Ye Xuan instantly turned illusory!
Ye Xuan suddenly roared, “Slash!”
Boom!
The sword light struck the palm print, and in an instant, the palm print shattered into countless streams of light that scattered in all directions. At the same time, Ye Xuan, still holding his sword, had already closed in on Elder Zhang. With a single slash, he brought his sword down!
Elder Zhang was about to counter, but in the next moment, his expression changed drastically as a mysterious force enveloped him!
The Sword Domain!
The Fangcun Sword Domain!
The moment Ye Xuan’s sword fell, a burst of sword light instantly engulfed both him and Elder Zhang!
Within a square inch, everything is destroyed!
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, a soul suddenly flew out from the sword light!
It was Elder Zhang!
In that instant, his physical body had been completely destroyed. Not only that, but even though his soul had escaped, it was nearly transparent!
A single sword strike had almost completely erased him!
Elder Zhang looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, “You…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan’s sword suddenly flew out.
Before Elder Zhang could react, the Soul Suppressing Sword pierced through his forehead!
Boom!
Elder Zhang’s soul was directly absorbed!
After absorbing Elder Zhang’s soul, the Qing Xuan Sword trembled slightly!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qing Xuan Sword returned to his hand. At this moment, his face was slightly pale.
Using the Fangcun Sword Domain had drained him immensely!
In truth, he hadn’t fully mastered the Fangcun Sword Domain yet. He had only grasped about 80% of it, as he had been figuring out the sword domain entirely on his own!
If it weren’t for the Qing Xuan Sword, even with the Fangcun Sword Domain, he wouldn’t have been able to kill Elder Zhang!
The opponent’s strength was terrifyingly formidable!
In the shadows, Yan Zhi gave Ye Xuan a deep look. She hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to kill Elder Zhang with a single sword strike!
Elder Zhang’s realm far surpassed Ye Xuan’s!
Yan Zhi’s gaze fell on the Qing Xuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand!
A significant reason Ye Xuan was able to kill Elder Zhang despite the realm difference was the sword domain he had just used and this sword!
Her curiosity about the sword grew even stronger!
In the distance, Ye Xuan suddenly began walking toward the stone gate. At that moment, a group of powerful experts surged out from the gate!
All of them were super experts from the Divine Gate!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened!
There were too many of them!
At that moment, Xiao An and Jing Zhi appeared beside Ye Xuan.
Along with them was a white-haired old man!
Seeing this old man, Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned.
He had seen this man before—he was the old man who had played chess with Qing’er!
Why was he here?
Ye Xuan looked at the old man, who smiled awkwardly, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why are you here, senior?”
The old man replied, “I heard you were rallying people, so how could I not come?”
Just as Ye Xuan was about to speak, the old man added, “After parting ways with your sister that day, I returned and gained some insights. Unexpectedly, I made further progress!”
Ye Xuan examined the old man. Indeed, he had grown much stronger since their last meeting!
This old man was impressive!
Being humbled by Qing’er had actually led to his improvement?
The white-haired old man looked at the Divine Gate experts in the distance and said gravely, “Young Master Ye, these people are no ordinary foes!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “They are from the Divine Human Race, here to destroy our universe and all of humanity!”
The white-haired old man frowned, “They really intend to exterminate all of humanity?”
Ye Xuan nodded!
The white-haired old man’s expression darkened, “A more powerful race?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “The Divine Human Race. I hadn’t heard of them before, but from the looks of it, their strength definitely surpasses humanity’s!”
The white-haired old man’s eyes showed a trace of worry. As if remembering something, he looked at Ye Xuan and asked, “Young Master Ye, is your sister human?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Of course Qing’er is human. Why do you ask?”
The white-haired old man laughed, “If she’s human, then I have nothing to fear!”
He had been worried that Qing’er might be from the Divine Human Race!
If that were the case, what was the point of fighting?
They might as well surrender!
But since Qing’er was human, what was there to fear?
Hearing the white-haired old man’s words, Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. He looked at the Divine Gate experts in the distance and said, “Senior, I need you all to hold these people off for me!”
The white-haired old man immediately shook his head, “Young friend, we can’t hold them off!”
These people’s realms were all higher than theirs, and they outnumbered them. The three of them trying to hold off dozens of experts was unrealistic!
Xiao An suddenly said, “I can!”
Jing Zhi glared at Xiao An, “You can do nothing!”
She had noticed that Xiao An, because of Ye Xuan, was starting to speak without thinking!
Three people holding off dozens?
It was impossible!
Even with Ye Xuan, they couldn’t do it!
Ye Xuan suddenly glanced back. Below, countless flames were pouring into the existing universe. In at most half an hour, these flames would engulf the entire universe!
He didn’t have much time!
He had to enter the stone gate and destroy the formation!
At that moment, an elder from the Divine Gate looked at Ye Xuan and sneered, “You want to save humanity? What a pipe dream!”
Ye Xuan looked at the elder, “You’re human too. The Divine Human Race wants to exterminate all of humanity. Don’t you…”
The elder coldly laughed, “Human? After we exterminate you, we can ascend to the Divine Domain. The Divine Human Race will help us shed our human bodies and souls. Then, we will embrace the Divine Civilization and cultivate more advanced martial arts!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was speechless.
Just then, the elder suddenly sneered, “Human, don’t you like calling for help? Go ahead, call for help!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “What do you mean, I like calling for help?”
The elder mocked, “Didn’t you save humanity before by calling for help? But let me tell you, the Divine Human Race is searching for the people behind you. If you call for help, they might come, but they won’t leave alive!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “I won’t call for help! Don’t push me!”
The elder stared at Ye Xuan, “The human behind you has already broken free from the rules, hasn’t she? Call for her!”
Ye Xuan turned to Jing Zhi, “How many times has he told me to call for help now?”
Jing Zhi thought for a moment and then said, “I think it’s three times! You can call for help now! They’re the ones telling you to call, not you yourself. The white-haired old man and I can both testify to that!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Alright!”
With that, he took out the Qing Xuan Sword and said, “Qing’er, they’re telling me to call for you. I refused at first, but they keep pushing me. I… how about you make one more move? Just one last time!”
After a moment of silence, the Qing Xuan Sword began to tremble…
…
