Before Mu Mo’s words could fully leave his mouth, a sudden sword light from an unknown source plunged into the top of his head.
Boom!
In an instant, the life force within Mu Mo was completely extinguished!
Everyone in the scene froze.
Gu Chou stared at Mu Mo, whose eyes were wide open as if he still didn’t grasp what had happened, and remained silent.
Fan Jian fixed her gaze on Mu Mo, her eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of horror!
Wu Lingmu’s eyes betrayed unmasked shock.
At that moment, Mu Mo seemed to realise what had occurred. A flicker of confusion passed through his gaze, “From… so far… away…”
How far?
Countless star domains!
And he had only sensed the faintest trace of that presence!
And just like that, he was gone?
Mu Mo found it absurd!
At this point, Ye Xuan opened his palm below, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He glanced at Mu Mo, then stepped aside.
Mu Mo looked at Ye Xuan as his body and soul began to vanish bit by bit.
It was an erasure!
He had no power to resist!
Staring at Ye Xuan, Mu Mo whispered, “Who is she?”
Ye Xuan replied, “My sister!”
Mu Mo’s eyes brimmed with confusion, “Your sister… then why are you so weak, yet she’s so strong?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I haven’t fully grown yet!”
Mu Mo: “…”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, “I told you not to sense her, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look, you’ve gone and done yourself in!”
Mu Mo murmured, “Who knew she was that strong…”
With that, he vanished completely.
No trace of Mu Mo remained in this world!
The scene fell into a silence as still as stone!
Gone!
Was Mu Mo some ordinary figure? He was one of the Twelve Life-Knowing Sages!
Yet such a supreme powerhouse had been erased, and they hadn’t even seen the one responsible!
For a moment, the atmosphere grew heavy!
Ye Xuan sighed again, “A perfectly good living person, gone just like that!”
The crowd: “…”
Fan Jian suddenly turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, may I know your sister’s name?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Others call her Destiny!”
Destiny?
Fan Jian and the others frowned slightly, for they hadn’t heard of her.
They were the strongest in this realm, familiar with the geniuses and prodigies of their era, yet there was no “Destiny” among them!
Fan Jian looked at Ye Xuan, “I’ve never heard of her!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “That’s normal!”
Fan Jian’s brow creased, “Why is that normal?”
Ye Xuan explained, “Because she’s not from the Burial Domain!”
At that, Fan Jian’s eyes narrowed, “From somewhere else?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Fan Jian fell silent for a moment before asking, “Has she surpassed Life-Knowing? I mean truly surpassed it, reaching another level entirely… do you understand the level I’m talking about?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened with exasperation. Bloody hell, are you looking down on me?
But honestly, he didn’t know!
He’d realised that while these people were all Life-Knowing, there were clearly tiers within that rank!
Fan Jian pressed, “Has she transcended the scope of Life-Knowing?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What do you think?”
Fan Jian fell silent.
Ye Xuan laughed, “You lot carry on with your business!”
With that, he stepped aside and sat cross-legged.
He was buzzing with excitement because he’d discovered something new!
The Time Domain!
If the Qingxuan Sword could ignore the Time Domain, didn’t that mean he could use it to create his own?
The thought thrilled him more and more!
In the scene, Fan Jian and the others glanced at Ye Xuan before looking away. Strictly speaking, he wasn’t their enemy, their true foe was the Evil Clan!
And now, they genuinely didn’t dare provoke him!
This guy was clearly a second-generation powerhouse. Picking a fight with him for no reason would be sheer folly!
Hadn’t they seen Mu Mo’s fate?
Just then, the final layer of the tower began to tremble!
At the sight, everyone’s expressions shifted!
All eyes turned upward to that last layer!
Was the invincible Snow Mountain King finally emerging?
Below, Gu Chou also gazed at the top layer, a faint smile on his face, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes!
After countless millennia, Wu Lingmu and Fan Jian had surprised him, especially Fan Jian’s swordsmanship, which delighted him. And this invincible Snow Mountain King? What surprise would he bring?
Gu Chou grew more eager!
Suddenly, the final layer of the tower began to fade bit by bit. Moments later, under everyone’s watchful eyes, it vanished entirely, and a man stepped down slowly.
He appeared to be in his thirties, with sharp, chiselled features, particularly those eyes that seemed to pierce through all worldly things.
He wore a simple cloud-blue robe, a translucent white jade pendant hanging at his waist, and in his right hand, he held an open ancient tome.
Gentle, refined!
That was the crowd’s impression!
Of course, they didn’t forget that this was the legendary invincible Snow Mountain King!
The moment he appeared, the powerhouses of the Great Snow Mountain erupted in excitement, all kneeling in reverence.
Beside Ye Xuan, Xue Linglong also bowed deeply!
The invincible Snow Mountain King!
He was the faith of every Great Snow Mountain heart!
Fan Jian and the others watched him too. Back in their day, they’d been prodigies too, yet in that era, before this Snow Mountain King, all geniuses paled, including the once-equally monstrous ascetic!
For them, it was a tragedy!
No matter how hard they strove, someone loomed above them!
Wu Lingmu and the others wore complicated expressions!
Then, the Snow Mountain King slowly turned his head toward Ye Xuan, seated not far away. Sensing his gaze, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, his heart skipping a beat. Bloody hell, this guy wouldn’t target him, would he?
This Snow Mountain King wasn’t Mu Mo, he wouldn’t be so easy to fool!
The Snow Mountain King’s eyes settled on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand. After a moment, he looked away, then turned to Gu Chou before him, “Another place?”
Gu Chou smiled, “Of course!”
As his words fell, the spacetime around them grew illusory. Soon, it was as if they were shuttling through, countless dimensions flashing by, yet to the onlookers, they seemed rooted in place!
Seeing this, Fan Jian and the others’ expressions grew grave!
Though Gu Chou and the Snow Mountain King appeared to remain, they were already far, far away!
Beside Fan Jian, Wu Lingmu said gravely, “Fan Jian, can you tell what level this Snow Mountain King has reached?”
Fan Jian shook her head, “I can’t sense it!”
Wu Lingmu’s pupils shrank, “You can’t sense it?”
Fan Jian nodded, “I can’t!”
At that, Wu Lingmu’s expression turned solemn, his heart surging with shock!
Fan Jian was a Life-Knowing God!
Yet she couldn’t gauge the Snow Mountain King’s depth? What level had he attained?
Wu Lingmu’s face grew heavier.
Fan Jian then glanced at Gu Chou, still shuttling through spacetime, and murmured, “That Gu Chou… he’s mysterious too! When he fought us before, he held back. I just don’t know how much!”
Wu Lingmu looked at Gu Chou and said softly, “Who’d have thought, after all these millennia, the Evil Clan would produce such a terrifying prodigy!”
Fan Jian nodded, “Every era births a few breathtakingly brilliant prodigies!”
She paused, then looked at Ye Xuan in the distance.
Wu Lingmu chuckled, “Do you think this lad’s a genius prodigy?”
Fan Jian was silent for a moment before saying, “What do you think?”
Wu Lingmu glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “He’s decent, but not a top-tier prodigy!”
Fan Jian shook her head, “You shouldn’t judge him by normal standards!”
Wu Lingmu laughed, “Go on then!”
Fan Jian murmured, “He’s got thick skin, utterly shameless! In that alone, most can’t compare!”
Wu Lingmu frowned, “What use is shamelessness?”
Fan Jian glanced at him, “Shamelessness alone isn’t much use, but pair it with a powerful backer? If you tried to touch him, he could infuriate you to death, believe it?”
Wu Lingmu’s expression froze. In that moment, he thought of Mu Mo!
How had that guy died?
Ye Xuan had riled him up until his mind went haywire, then tricked him into his doom!
Under normal circumstances, Mu Mo would never have stuck his neck out like that.
In the distance, Ye Xuan caught Fan Jian’s glance. Why was this woman staring at him? If she were eyeing the Qingxuan Sword, he’d get it, but she kept sneaking looks at him!
Did she fancy him?
At that thought, Ye Xuan sized her up. Truth be told, she was quite a looker. If he could take her into his harem… no, take her as a disciple! If she wielded the Qingxuan Sword as his pupil, even the Snow Mountain King might think twice!
But how to trick her into being his woman… no, his disciple…
Ye Xuan felt a bit sheepish!
Spending too much time with Little Tower had muddled his thoughts!
Just then, Gu Chou and the Snow Mountain King halted in the distance. They’d entered an unknown spacetime domain, now unimaginably far from Ye Xuan and the others.
Both were peak powerhouses. Once they clashed, even the shockwaves would be unbearable for others. Only in such a place could they minimise the fallout!
Gu Chou suddenly smiled faintly, “I’ve waited for this day a long time!”
The Snow Mountain King glanced at him, his expression calm, “Let’s begin!”
With that, he stepped forward. With that single step, the spacetime around them began to freeze, the temperature plummeting tens of thousands of degrees. Had this been outside, that one move would’ve frozen the entire universe!
In the distance, Gu Chou smiled faintly, “So this is your famed Ice Seal Domain from back then?”
With that, he stepped forward too, slowly raising his right hand…
