Hearing Mutian agree so quickly, the Spirit King’s expression darkened as well!
Why was Mutian so confident?
Ye Xuan looked at Mutian, smiling faintly, “Lord Mutian’s confidence isn’t ordinary!”
Mutian laughed, “If you wish to back out now, that’s still an option!”
Ye Xuan turned to the Spirit King, “How many crystal veins does the Tianfu have in total?”
The Spirit King said gravely, “About twelve or so!”
Ye Xuan looked at Mutian, “How about we bet twelve Heavenly Crystal Veins?”
Mutian didn’t hesitate at all, “Deal!”
Deal!
At these words, everyone in the room was somewhat shocked, twelve Heavenly Crystal Veins, that was the Tianfu’s entire fortune!
What gave the Tianfu the nerve to play so big?
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then let’s begin! I assume Lord Mutian wouldn’t use that Dimensional Divine Spike against me, right?”
Mutian laughed, “Of course not!”
With that, he turned his head, not far away stood a black-robed powerhouse, like Mingdao, fully shrouded in a black robe, his features invisible!
The black-robed figure walked up to Ye Xuan, saying hoarsely, “You won’t back out, will you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “No!”
The black-robed figure nodded, opening his palm, a square crystalline seal appeared in his hand.
Boom!
In an instant, the space around the crystalline seal warped, simultaneously, the surrounding space-time began to twist!
Under everyone’s gaze, the crystalline seal entered the Fourth Layer of Space-Time, pausing briefly before immediately advancing into the Fifth Layer!
The Fifth Layer of Space-Time!
Seeing this, the powerhouses in the room all grew solemn.
What was this crystalline seal? It could enter the Fifth Layer of Space-Time?
Just then, the black-robed figure suddenly said, “Suppress!”
As his voice fell, the crystalline seal began to spin rapidly, in an instant, an overwhelmingly terrifying wave of space-time pressure erupted throughout the hall, the bodies of some weaker powerhouses shattered instantly!
All the powerhouses’ faces changed dramatically!
Including the Spirit King beside Ye Xuan!
This crystalline seal could actually bring the space-time pressure of the Fifth Layer into reality?
And it wasn’t over yet, under the black-robed figure’s control, the crystalline seal suddenly turned ethereal, in a flash, it arrived at the Sixth Layer of Space-Time!
The Sixth Layer of Space-Time!
At this sight, countless powerhouses in the room were left dumbfounded!
This crystalline seal could enter the Sixth Layer of Space-Time?
Yet it still wasn’t finished, after entering the Sixth Layer, a pressure a hundred times stronger than before abruptly swept through the surroundings.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Heavenly Crystal Hall dissolved into nothingness!
The powerhouses around were struck with terror, fleeing in all directions, even the Spirit King, Mutian, and Mingdao retreated swiftly!
That space-time pressure was so intense, even they feared it!
They were all peak Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses, able to enter and control the Fifth Layer of Space-Time, but the Sixth Layer remained unfamiliar to them!
As if struck by a thought, several of them turned to Ye Xuan, their faces full of astonishment!
Ye Xuan hadn’t retreated a single step!
At that moment, the Spirit King was bewildered, could this Young Ye have been playing the fool all along to take down the tiger?
In front of Ye Xuan, the black-robed figure said hoarsely, “Sir, this is called the Space-Time Spirit Seal, not only can it enter the Sixth Layer of Space-Time, it can also harness the space-time power of the Sixth Layer! Can your sword do the same?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “No wonder you’re so confident, you’ve got such a divine artifact!”
The black-robed figure said, “Young Master Ye, your turn!”
With that, he opened his palm, the Space-Time Seal returned to his hand, in an instant, that terrifying space-time pressure vanished without a trace.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Can your Space-Time Seal enter the Seventh Layer of Space-Time?”
The black-robed figure replied, “No! The Seventh Layer is infinitely mysterious, no divine artifact can enter it, that’s an absolute…”
Just then, the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand trembled violently, the next moment, it shot into the Sixth Layer of Space-Time, before anyone could react, it advanced into the next layer—the Seventh Layer of Space-Time!
Seeing this, the faces of every powerhouse in the room changed instantly!
Not far behind Ye Xuan, the Spirit King and Mingdao began trembling!
The Sixth Layer was unfamiliar to them, but the Seventh Layer wasn’t just unfamiliar, it was a legend they didn’t dare dream of.
And now, they were witnessing the Seventh Layer with their own eyes!
The black-robed figure in front of Ye Xuan fell silent, his hand shaking.
The Seventh Layer of Space-Time!
The opponent’s sword could enter the Seventh Layer, others might not grasp what that meant, but he did.
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand, he looked at the black-robed figure, smiling, “Shall we continue?”
The black-robed figure was silent for a moment, then said, “We’ve lost!”
Ye Xuan turned to Mutian, smiling, “Lord Mutian, where are my Heavenly Crystal Veins?”
Mutian’s face darkened to an extreme!
He hadn’t expected the black-robed figure to lose, this figure came from *that place*…
Just then, the black-robed figure opened his palm, a storage ring floated to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced inside, it contained a full twelve Heavenly Crystal Veins!
Ye Xuan wasn’t about to be polite, he took it, smiling, “Thanks!”
With that, he turned to leave.
At that moment, the black-robed figure suddenly said, “May I know where you’re from?”
Ye Xuan paused, laughing, “Why?”
The black-robed figure said, “Would you sell that sword?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “You want to buy this sword?”
The black-robed figure nodded, “Name your price, any condition is negotiable!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’ll think about it!”
With that, he turned and left.
Seeing Ye Xuan didn’t outright refuse, the black-robed figure’s clenched fist slowly relaxed.
Since he hadn’t refused outright, there was room to negotiate!
He feared Ye Xuan, but in his view, the sword entering the Seventh Layer didn’t mean Ye Xuan himself could, just as his Space-Time Seal could reach the Sixth Layer, but he couldn’t!
A divine artifact capable of entering the Seventh Layer… he had to have it!
After Ye Xuan and the others left, Mutian turned to the black-robed figure, saying gravely, “Elder Chi, could this Ye Xuan be from a Level 6 civilisation?”
The black-robed figure shook his head, “Absolutely impossible!”
Mutian was puzzled, “Why not?”
The black-robed figure said softly, “Because even the Tian’a Tribe never reached a Level 6 civilisation, besides, entering the Seventh Layer doesn’t mean one qualifies as a Level 6 civilisation! Let alone reaching Level 6, even achieving Level 5 isn’t that simple! The complexity and difficulty require a race to strive for at least tens of millions of years!”
Mutian’s face darkened.
The black-robed figure added, “Keep an eye on him for me, I need to prepare!”
With that, he turned and left.
Mutian looked into the distance, a flicker of worry in his eyes, clearly, this Elder Chi was determined to get Ye Xuan’s sword!
Ye Xuan returned to the Spirit Tribe with the Spirit King, upon arrival, he immediately asked, “Senior, do you know who that black-robed figure was?”
The Spirit King shook his head, “No! But I’m certain he’s not from the Tianfu!”
Ye Xuan said, “Could you help investigate?”
The Spirit King nodded, “Of course! On our way back, I already ordered a thorough check, but…”
He paused, saying gravely, “I fear we won’t find much!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled, “Senior, I need to seclude myself for a while!”
The Spirit King nodded, “Good!”
He hesitated, then added, “Thanks for your help today, little friend, otherwise, my Spirit Tribe’s Heavenly Coffin and crystal veins would’ve gone to the Tianfu!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “A small matter!”
The Spirit King laughed, “Regardless, thank you!”
Ye Xuan nodded, saying no more, he entered the hall and returned to the small tower.
Once inside, Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
That black-robed figure had clearly targeted him!
So the question was, who was he? Someone with a divine artifact like the Space-Time Spirit Seal couldn’t be ordinary, likely from a Level 5 civilisation!
A Level 5 civilisation!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed deeply, had he been targeted by a Level 5 civilisation again?
He looked down at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, shaking his head with a wry smile, he’d thought coming to the Tianling Universe would bring some peaceful days, but now a mysterious enemy had emerged!
What a headache!
At that moment, the small tower suddenly said, “Little Master, don’t worry, take life and death lightly, if they don’t back down, we fight, who have we ever feared?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened with exasperation, “Little Tower, I’ve noticed you’ve been getting cocky lately!”
The small tower said seriously, “Little Master, I’ve been remade by Sister Destiny, across the universe, aside from the Three Swords, who can handle me?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The small tower added, “Anyway, I’m not worried about anything!”
Ye Xuan was speechless, ever since Qing’er had remade this tower, it had become insufferably arrogant!
Aside from the Three Swords, it didn’t take anyone seriously!
No, aside from Qing’er, it was starting to disregard even his father and big brother!
Without dwelling on it, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged and began cultivating, he needed to push for the Tenth Stage now!
…
Somewhere in an unknown star domain.
The Phantom Tribe.
The Phantom Tribe Leader stood on the city wall, gazing at the starry sky, he had advanced from the Sixteenth Stage to the Seventeenth, known as the Ultimate Realm.
This was the limit a Level 6 civilisation could reach!
And his breakthrough was thanks to the guidance of that plain-skirted woman!
The plain-skirted woman!
Thinking of her, the Phantom Tribe Leader’s expression grew solemn, even now, whenever he recalled her, a deep, uncontrollable fear stirred within him!
Just how strong was that woman?
He didn’t know!
Nor could he fathom her strength!
At that moment, the space before him tore open, the next instant, a Phantom Tribe powerhouse appeared, saying excitedly, “Clan Leader, we’ve found Young Ye!”
The Phantom Tribe Leader’s pupils shrank sharply…
…
