The Phantom Tribe Leader stared intently at the Phantom Tribe powerhouse before him, “Where is Young Ye now?”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse said gravely, “He’s currently in the Tianling Universe!”
The Phantom Tribe Leader frowned, “Tianling Universe?”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse nodded, “A Level 4 civilisation universe!”
The Phantom Tribe Leader was puzzled, “Why is Young Ye in such a low-tier civilisation universe?”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse shook his head, “I don’t know!”
The Phantom Tribe Leader was silent for a moment, then said, “Issue the order, all Phantom Tribe members who have reached the Fourteenth Stage are to head to the Tianling Universe to retrieve Young Ye!”
Hearing this, the Phantom Tribe powerhouse was stunned, “This…”
The Phantom Tribe Leader looked at the powerhouse before him, “Is there a problem?”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse hesitated, then said, “All of them?”
The Phantom Tribe Leader nodded, “Not only that, I’ll go personally as well!”
“This…”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse was utterly shocked, “Clan Leader…”
The Phantom Tribe Leader slowly closed his eyes, “Our clan will welcome Young Ye with the highest honours!”
The Phantom Tribe powerhouse: “…”
…
Inside the Small Tower.
During this time, Ye Xuan had mastered overlapping the First through Fourth Layers of Space-Time, forming space-time pressure, it could be said that he was now a Tenth-Stage powerhouse, especially with his sword techniques and the Qingxuan Sword, he was virtually invincible among peers.
However, he discovered a fatal flaw, ever since he’d encountered the Divine Human Clan, his cultivation had been inseparable from the path of space-time, including now with the Spirit Tribe, who also focused on studying space-time, this wasn’t a problem in itself, but he hadn’t forgotten that he, Ye Xuan, was a sword cultivator!
His big brother’s words had once shocked him, because his brother understood nothing of space-time, only swords! Yet his brother’s sword could shatter all space-time!
Sword cultivator!
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, falling into silence.
Lately, he hadn’t practised his swordsmanship, focusing entirely on the path of space-time, and his space-time mastery had indeed grown stronger, now, he was not only unbeatable within the Tenth Stage, even Eleventh-Stage powerhouses might not be his match!
But his swordsmanship hadn’t progressed at all!
The sword!
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, sighing inwardly, he’d been neglecting his swordsmanship lately!
He wanted to advance his swordsmanship, but his current sword mastery had hit a bottleneck, achieving another breakthrough was incredibly difficult!
Among human sword cultivators, aside from his father and the other two, he was arguably the best! Now, he could only rely on himself to explore the path of the sword.
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan frowned, he’d made several breakthroughs recently, so why hadn’t his father’s and brother’s sword imprints shown any reaction?
With this in mind, Ye Xuan sensed those two sword imprints, yet there was no response at all!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, had his father tampered with these sword imprints?
Just then, the Spirit King’s voice sounded from outside the hall, “Young friend Ye Xuan!”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts, left the small tower, and opened the hall doors, the Spirit King said gravely, “Little friend, I’ve got bad news!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “What is it?”
The Spirit King nodded, “That black-robed figure is from a Level 5 civilisation!”
Ye Xuan chuckled softly, “As I suspected!”
The Spirit King added, “He’s determined to get your sword, he might act soon.”
Ye Xuan said quietly, “I never imagined that, just arriving here, I’d be targeted by someone from a Level 5 civilisation… I really admire myself, haha!”
The Spirit King said gravely, “His target is your sword!”
Ye Xuan was about to respond when a terrifying pressure suddenly swept in from the horizon.
Boom!
In an instant, the entire sky turned illusory.
The Spirit King’s expression changed dramatically, “They’re here!”
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky, the space there suddenly split open, a mysterious black-robed figure stepped out slowly!
Seeing this figure, the Spirit King’s face darkened.
This was a blatant disrespect to the Spirit Tribe!
The black-robed figure looked down at Ye Xuan below, saying hoarsely, “Young Master Ye, have you considered my offer?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What price are you offering for my sword?”
The black-robed figure replied, “Your life, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly, “So, if I don’t sell, my life’s forfeit, right?”
The black-robed figure said, “Yes!”
At that moment, the Spirit King beside him suddenly interjected, “Aren’t you being a bit too overbearing?”
The black-robed figure turned to the Spirit King, “Is your Spirit Tribe planning to interfere?”
The Spirit King met his gaze, “What if we do?”
The black-robed figure nodded, waving his right hand lightly, instantly, over thirty shadowy figures appeared around him!
Seeing these figures, the Spirit King’s expression turned grave!
The weakest among them were Twelfth-Stage powerhouses!
Five of them were even Thirteenth-Stage, and with the black-robed figure, that made six Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses!
Three Thirteenth-Stage!
In the Spirit Tribe, there were only two Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses, a few more at the Twelfth Stage, just nine in total!
In terms of sheer numbers, the opponent already outmatched the Spirit Tribe!
The Spirit King’s face grew unsightly.
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “This is between me and them, it has nothing to do with the Spirit Tribe, let’s take this elsewhere!”
He had no reason to drag the Spirit Tribe into this, after all, they owed him nothing, on the contrary, they’d already helped him plenty, pulling them in now would be downright dishonourable.
In the sky, the black-robed figure nodded, “Fine!”
The Spirit King started to speak but stopped, Ye Xuan smiled, “Senior, this has nothing to do with you, these past days, thank you for the Spirit Tribe’s hospitality and aid!”
The Spirit King sighed softly, “Little friend, I’m so sorry!”
He wanted to help Ye Xuan, but the cost was too great! As clan leader, he couldn’t act on emotion, if he forced his help, countless clan members would die, and it might not even save Ye Xuan! This black-robed figure was from a Level 5 civilisation, far beyond what the Spirit Tribe could currently handle!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Senior, we’ll meet again!”
With that, he vanished from the spot, reappearing in a boundless starry expanse, the black-robed figure and his group followed suit, appearing before him.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand, he looked at the black-robed figure, smiling, “One-on-one or all at once?”
The black-robed figure said, “All at once!”
As his voice fell, the powerhouses behind him charged straight at Ye Xuan!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyelid twitched, damn it, this guy wasn’t playing by the rules!
Watching dozens rush toward him, a feral grin spread across Ye Xuan’s face, instantly, he turned into a blood-red figure, the next moment, he swung the Qingxuan Sword forward fiercely.
Slash!
A blood-red sword light tore through the air!
The leading Thirteenth-Stage shadowy figure punched the sword light.
Boom!
The sword light shattered!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared before him, slashing down hard!
Sword-Drawing Technique!
Two thousand eight hundred stacked Sword-Drawing strikes!
This was his current limit, his true limit, because he’d even tapped into his bloodline power!
With this slash, the Fourth Layer of Space-Time shattered instantly!
Boom!
The Thirteenth-Stage powerhouse was sent flying back thousands of metres, but then, a powerful force surged in, engulfing Ye Xuan in an instant.
Boom!
The sword light broke, Ye Xuan was forced back ten thousand metres, as he stopped, a massive palm print, a hundred metres wide, descended from above, its crushing pressure shattering and annihilating the space around him layer by layer!
Ye Xuan stomped his right foot, drawing his sword upward.
A sword light struck the giant palm print, it trembled violently, an earth-shattering force erupted, Ye Xuan blocked with his sword, unleashing his sword domain.
Boom!
The immense force was fully absorbed by his sword domain, but at that moment, the space around him suddenly turned illusory!
Ye Xuan spun around sharply, not far away, a mysterious powerhouse was chanting a spell, gradually, Ye Xuan began plummeting downward in place!
To outsiders, he seemed stationary, but in reality, he was falling rapidly!
The Space-Time Abyss!
Just then, Ye Xuan’s form turned ethereal, the next moment, he returned to reality.
Seeing this, the black-robed figure’s face darkened, the Space-Time Abyss had no effect on Ye Xuan?
As the other powerhouses prepared to strike again, the black-robed figure raised his right hand, they immediately stepped aside, he opened his palm, pressing down lightly, instantly, countless waves of terrifying space-time pressure surged around Ye Xuan!
The multidimensional space-time pressure of the Fifth Layer!
Yet Ye Xuan remained expressionless, letting the pressure engulf him, he was completely unharmed!
The black-robed figure’s eyes narrowed, “How is this possible…”
As he spoke, he opened his palm, the Space-Time Spirit Seal appeared, the next moment, the space above Ye Xuan split open, a pressure dozens of times stronger than before crashed down, as it descended, the surrounding space began vanishing bit by bit.
The pressure of the Sixth Layer of Space-Time!
Ye Xuan still didn’t dodge or evade, letting the pressure crush down on him.
Boom!
The area around Ye Xuan annihilated instantly, but he remained unscathed!
Seeing this, the black-robed figure’s pupils shrank, “How can this be…”
From afar, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a feral grin, “I’m immune to all space-time pressure!”
As his voice fell, he vanished, a streak of sword light slashed toward the black-robed figure, who blocked with his arm.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, but then, a flood of sword light engulfed him!
The Square-Inch Sword Domain!
Boom!
As the sword light broke apart, the black-robed figure retreated repeatedly, mid-retreat, a blood-red flying sword struck.
He blocked with his arm again.
Slash!
His right arm flew off, at the same time, the Qingxuan Sword struck his chest!
Bang!
The black-robed figure was flung back ten thousand metres, his body shattering!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly from afar, he suddenly realised that once the Space-Time Abyss and space-time pressure were useless against him, these so-called Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses weren’t that formidable!
What separated a Tenth-Stage from a Thirteenth-Stage powerhouse? Their mastery of space-time, Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses could use the Fifth Layer to crush Tenth-Stage ones, that pressure was something no Tenth-Stage cultivator could withstand!
But Ye Xuan was an exception!
He was immune to space-time pressure!
In other words, to kill him, they couldn’t rely on space-time pressure, only raw power.
The black-robed figure looked at Ye Xuan, “Why doesn’t space-time pressure affect you?”
Ye Xuan grinned ferally, “Because I’ve got a sister, got it?”
The black-robed elder: “…”
…
