Yang Lian and the other two had already charged in front of Si Qian, their three powerful forces rushing toward Si Qian, ready to crush him!
But Si Qian remained calm, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
At that moment, Si Qian suddenly took a step forward and laughed, “Come, let me show you how sharp my sword is!”
As he spoke, the profound energy within his body surged like a tidal wave into the Qingxuan Sword. In the next moment, he slashed downward with all his might.
A single slash, straight to the end!
But Si Qian was stunned!
Because this sword strike had no power at all!
What was going on?
Before Si Qian could think further, the combined forces of Yang Lian and the other two engulfed him.
Boom!
Si Qian was sent flying tens of thousands of feet away!
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
What just happened?
When Si Qian finally came to a stop, his body was completely shattered. His eyes were vacant, his mind blank.
After obtaining the Qingxuan Sword, he had been studying it with some scholars from the Time-Space Temple and had never used it himself. Thus, he had no idea that he couldn’t wield the sword!
On the other side, Yang Lian said in a deep voice, “There’s something strange about that sword!”
Xiao Tian nodded.
At that moment, Si Qian, who was far away, suddenly began wildly swinging the Qingxuan Sword, but no power came from it!
Si Qian stopped. He understood now!
He couldn’t use this sword at all!
Thinking of this, Si Qian roared in anger, “Ye Xuan!”
On the other side, Yang Lian said gravely, “He’s been tricked!”
At that moment, Si Qian suddenly hurled the Qingxuan Sword toward Yang Lian and the others.
Si Qian glared at them, “Take the sword!”
Yang Lian, however, remained silent.
Si Qian sneered, “What, you want to destroy my Time-Space Temple? Let me be clear, even if you manage to destroy it today, how many of your Dao Mountain’s experts will remain? Besides, Ye Xuan is still out there, laughing at us!”
Yang Lian glanced at Si Qian, then stored the Qingxuan Sword, “Let’s go!”
With that, he turned and left.
The experts from Dao Mountain quickly followed.
On the field, Si Qian snarled, “Spare no effort to find Ye Xuan! Find him!”
Soon, the entire Time-Space Temple began frantically searching for Ye Xuan.
…
In the starry sky, Yang Lian and the others stopped. Yang Lian looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand and said, “I can’t activate this sword!”
Lin Xiao frowned, “It’s unusable?”
Yang Lian nodded, then handed the sword to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao gripped the Qingxuan Sword, and after a moment, his brows furrowed, “It seems only Ye Xuan can use this sword!”
Ye Xuan!
Xiao Tian suddenly said, “Find Ye Xuan!”
Soon, the experts from Dao Mountain began frantically searching for Ye Xuan.
…
Inside the small tower, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged. In front of him was a pile of soul crystals, which were now burning, releasing vast amounts of energy that continuously flowed into his body.
Gradually, a powerful aura began to emanate from Ye Xuan.
He was breaking through to the Boundless Realm!
After a long time, Ye Xuan opened his eyes. By now, he had absorbed a full million soul crystals!
The small tower suddenly asked, “Have you reached the Boundless Realm?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
He had now reached the Boundless Realm, but he still couldn’t compete with Xiao Tian and the others.
The gap in cultivation was still too large!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Little Tower, how did Qing’er manage to make ten years inside the tower equal one day outside?”
The small tower replied, “If I knew that, would I still be just a tower?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The small tower asked, “What are you trying to say, young master?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Time-space conversion!”
The small tower was puzzled, “Time-space conversion?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “The time-space inside the tower is different from the outside. To be precise, the time-space inside the tower is of a higher level than the outside. Do you understand what I mean?”
The small tower said, “No, I don’t!”
Ye Xuan was speechless. After a moment of thought, he continued, “Ten years inside the tower equals one day outside. This means the time-space inside the tower is different from the outside, or rather, the time-space inside the tower is of a higher level than the outside.”
The small tower said seriously, “Get to the point!”
Ye Xuan said, “If I merge with you, does that mean I’m merging with the mysterious time-space Qing’er created?”
The small tower hesitated, then said, “Do you want to try?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I think it’s worth a shot, but I’ll need your cooperation!”
The small tower said gravely, “Will it be dangerous?”
Ye Xuan replied, “It shouldn’t be! Come on, Little Tower, let’s merge again!”
The small tower transformed into a golden light and entered Ye Xuan’s brow!
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s entire body began to tremble violently. Gradually, his body started to become illusory, and the space around him began to disappear bit by bit. Even the ninth layer of space started to vanish!
However, Ye Xuan’s face instantly turned pale!
He realized that his body couldn’t withstand the time-space inside the small tower!
Soon, Ye Xuan had no choice but to release the small tower!
He couldn’t endure it!
By now, he was drenched in sweat, and his entire body was covered in cracks!
The small tower said gravely, “Young master, it seems this won’t work!”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “It does work! But I can’t sustain it for long!”
With that, he sat down cross-legged and began to heal his injuries.
An hour later, Ye Xuan’s injuries were mostly healed, and he merged with the small tower again—or rather, with the mysterious time-space inside the small tower. During the few moments of merging, Ye Xuan quickly tried to sense the mysterious time-space!
But he only had a few moments!
After those few moments, he had to start healing again, then merge once more…
And so, time passed, and Ye Xuan tried over and over again. After countless attempts, he finally managed to merge with the mysterious time-space using the small tower!
However, he could only sustain it for three breaths!
After three breaths, he had to separate, or his body would be completely destroyed! Moreover, he still needed the small tower to do it!
After merging with the mysterious time-space, Ye Xan began to experiment with manipulating it. After many attempts, he finally succeeded in harnessing the time-space pressure!
This excited Ye Xuan immensely!
He discovered that the time-space pressure from the mysterious time-space could easily destroy the ninth layer of space!
In the following days, Ye Xuan tried again and again. Unfortunately, he couldn’t enter the time-space abyss of the mysterious time-space, nor could he alter its structure. He couldn’t even sense the density of the mysterious time-space.
All he could do was manipulate its time-space pressure, but that was enough for him!
Of course, even manipulating the time-space pressure required the small tower!
In simple terms, with the small tower, he could now easily shatter the ninth layer of space!
Ye Xuan sighed in amazement. The small tower was finally useful!
Without further thought, Ye Xuan left the small tower. As soon as he did, the space not far from him began to tremble violently.
Ye Xuan frowned, “They’re here already?”
At that moment, a middle-aged man emerged from the trembling space!
It was none other than Yang Lian, the patriarch of the Yang Clan!
Yang Lian glared at Ye Xuan, “We’ve been searching for you for so long! You…”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and the small tower appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he hurled it, and the small tower shot out like a golden light.
In the distance, Yang Lian frowned, but in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He quickly clasped his hands together and pressed them forward.
Boom!
In an instant, the space around him, from the first to the eighth layer, condensed into a spatial barrier.
The small tower struck!
Boom!
The spatial barrier in front of Yang Lian shattered, and in the next moment, Yang Lian was completely obliterated!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was stunned!
Was it really this powerful?
Before this, he hadn’t known just how strong the time-space pressure of the mysterious time-space was. He knew it was formidable, but he hadn’t expected it to be this overwhelming!
He had just instantly killed a Soul Realm expert?
Ye Xuan was ecstatic!
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan quickly stored the small tower and fled!
He could only use it once, and after using it, he needed an hour to recover!
The toll it took on him was simply too great!
Shortly after Ye Xuan disappeared with the small tower, Xiao Tian and Lin Xiao arrived on the scene. The two of them stared at the spatial black hole in front of them, silent.
Yang Lian was gone!
Lin Xiao said gravely, “Did Ye Xuan do this?”
Xiao Tian shook his head, “He doesn’t have the strength. It must have been that woman who saved him before!”
Lin Xiao’s expression turned grim, “If she can kill Yang Lian so effortlessly, her strength…”
Xiao Tian’s face also darkened.
Lin Xiao said gravely, “Should we return the sword to him?”
Xiao Tian snarled, “Do you think he’ll let us go if we return it? No! We’re mortal enemies now. Even if we beg for mercy, he won’t spare us. Besides, bowing to him is something my Xiao Clan will never do!”
Lin Xiao said gravely, “My Lin Clan won’t either!”
Xiao Tian looked into the distance, his expression icy, “I’m going to the Divine Dao Nation!”
Lin Xiao frowned, “The Divine Dao Nation?”
Xiao Tian glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand and said, “I’m going to give this sword to the Divine Dao Nation. If Ye Xuan is so capable, let him go and demand it from them!”
Lin Xiao hesitated, then said, “Are you really going to give it away?”
Xiao Tian nodded, “This sword is useless in our hands. It’s better to give it to the Divine Dao Nation and let Ye Xuan provoke them.”
With that, he glanced around and said, “Let’s go now!”
After speaking, he turned and left.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, “I’ll go with you!”
With that, he quickly followed.
The death of Yang Lian had terrified both of them!
Yang Lian was on the same level as them, yet he had been killed so effortlessly! This meant that the person behind Ye Xuan could also kill them just as easily!
At this moment, they finally woke up!
Meanwhile, the Time-Space Temple was still frantically searching for Ye Xuan…
An hour later, in a distant part of the starry sky, Ye Xuan emerged from the small tower. He looked at the small tower in his hand and laughed, “I’m finally invincible!”
At that moment, the small tower spoke again, “Young master, my intuition tells me that your glory won’t last three days. Your enemies are probably about to level up again!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
…
