A Change!
Hearing King Zhongshan’s words, Hidden Blade frowned. “What’s wrong?”
King Zhongshan paused, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. “Let’s go!”
With that, he vanished from the spot.
Hidden Blade hesitated for a moment before following.
…
**Yun Realm**
Yun Realm floated among the clouds. Long ago, its founder had comprehended the Dao through the clouds, establishing Yun Realm in their midst!
Back in Yun Mengzi’s era, Yun Realm reigned supreme!
Yun Mengzi had been a dazzling genius, once poised to reach the No-Boundary Realm. Though he never broke through that final barrier, he was still hailed as the greatest after Jun Daolin—until Adaoling appeared!
In his time, Yun Mengzi was dubbed the strongest below No-Boundary!
On this day, a blood-red light suddenly blazed above Yun Realm.
Within, Zong Shou looked up at the sky. There stood a man—Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan’s aura was still rising!
Seeing this, Zong Shou’s face darkened dramatically!
Was this guy truly immune to backlash?
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a blood-red sword light slashed down from the heavens!
Zong Shou’s expression shifted. “Formation!”
His voice rang out, and the surrounding clouds converged into a massive shield above them!
The sword struck!
*Boom!*
The cloud shield trembled violently but held!
Zong Shou and the others breathed a sigh of relief—until another blood-red sword slashed down!
*Boom!*
A deafening roar echoed as the shield trembled again, cracks spiderwebbing across it!
Their faces sank!
In the sky, Ye Xuan swung his sword relentlessly, the cracks on the shield widening!
Zong Shou roared, “Kill formation!”
At his command, beams of light shot skyward, blasting toward Ye Xuan!
Above, Ye Xuan willed it, and the Qingxuan Sword morphed into a shield before him!
*Boom boom boom…*
The shield quaked under the barrage but blocked every beam!
Zong Shou’s eyes flashed with ferocity. “Keep going!”
Below, countless powerful forces surged upward, hammering Ye Xuan!
At that moment, Yun Realm unleashed all its formations!
In the sky, Ye Xuan stood behind his shield, letting the onslaught crash against the Qingxuan Sword.
The two sides locked in a stalemate!
Gradually, Zong Shou and the Yun Realm experts’ faces grew grim. Maintaining these formations consumed immense resources—continuing like this, Yun Realm couldn’t hold out!
Once the formations failed, who could stop Ye Xuan if he charged in?
Zong Shou stared at Ye Xuan, fists clenched.
Panic!
He was genuinely starting to panic!
If this continued, Yun Realm would collapse. Without the formations, no one could withstand Ye Xuan’s sword!
Zong Shou barked, “Use all the sect’s resources to sustain the formations!”
A nearby expert retreated at his words.
Zong Shou looked up at Ye Xuan above the clouds. “Ye Xuan, I know you’re not mad. Let’s talk!”
In the sky, Ye Xuan remained silent, standing behind his shield.
Zong Shou pressed, “Ye Xuan, if we keep fighting, it’ll only end in mutual destruction! And I’ll tell you this—my ancestor, Yun Mengzi, hasn’t fallen. If you push this too far…”
Suddenly, Ye Xuan turned and vanished at the horizon!
He’d run?
Zong Shou froze.
Was this guy willing to negotiate?
He quickly dismissed that foolish notion!
Ye Xuan had just annihilated the Enforcement Sect—given his nature, how could he compromise?
A Yun Realm expert asked gravely, “Sect Master, do we dismantle the formation or not?”
Zong Shou’s face twisted!
He understood Ye Xuan’s ploy!
This was a tactical retreat!
By leaving, Ye Xuan forced them into a dilemma: keep the formation up or dismantle it?
If they kept it, the massive drain would soon exhaust Yun Realm—they’d activated every formation! If they dismantled it and Ye Xuan returned, what then? Without the formations, who could stop him?
Dismantle or not?
Zong Shou was stuck!
The Yun Realm experts grasped this too, and silence fell over the field.
Zong Shou glanced at the sky, extending his divine sense. His face changed.
He sensed malice and killing intent!
Ye Xuan was still here!
The formation couldn’t be dismantled—if they did, Ye Xuan would strike back, and Yun Realm would be finished!
Zong Shou snarled, “Everyone, I’ve received word—our ancestor will arrive soon. Hold on a little longer, and Ye Xuan’s dead!”
A Yun Realm expert said gravely, “Realm Master, what if the one behind Ye Xuan shows up…”
Zong Shou spun around, roaring, “Why so much nonsense?”
The expert stood there, dumbfounded!
…
Elsewhere, Ye Xuan stood quietly among the clouds, eyes closed. The clouds around him had turned blood-red!
He just stood there—no one knew what he was planning.
Little Pagoda didn’t dare speak!
When Ye Xuan was normal, it could tease him. But now, he was clearly not normal—teasing him would earn it a beating!
Still, it was convinced Ye Xuan was faking madness!
When he’d hit it earlier, he’d used his fists—not the Qingxuan Sword, which could harm its core. He hadn’t used it!
Clearly, Ye Xuan was pretending!
But it didn’t dare say so!
It feared another beating!
A truly mad person wasn’t scary—what was terrifying was someone faking it!
Still, it was curious—how could Ye Xuan stay lucid after fully activating his bloodline?
Was his bloodline impure?
Suddenly, Ye Xuan opened his eyes. The moment he did, the space-time before him turned blood-red at a visible pace. In an instant, millions of meters around him became a sea of blood!
He turned, and the entire sky became a blood sea!
Soon, he reappeared above Yun Realm. Seeing him return, Zong Shou and the others’ faces darkened instantly!
Damn it!
This jerk was back!
Zong Shou was about to speak when Ye Xuan turned into a sword light and slashed down.
Zong Shou’s eyelids twitched. “Defend!”
At his command, countless beams shot up from Yun Realm!
This time, Ye Xuan didn’t defend—he charged straight in!
He slashed down!
*Rip!*
A beam split in two, but the next moment, countless others engulfed him!
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan was blasted thousands of meters back!
Seeing this, Zong Shou and the others sighed in relief—but then Ye Xuan vanished!
*Rip!*
A blood-red sword light streaked from the sky!
*Boom!*
A cluster of beams shattered under the strike, but more kept rising from Yun Realm. Each time Ye Xuan broke one, he’d be overwhelmed again!
This time, he didn’t retreat—he kept slashing wildly!
Gradually, Zong Shou and the others’ faces grew uglier.
Because they noticed—Ye Xuan was advancing!
Slowly, but he was moving forward!
Zong Shou stared at him, fists trembling!
A nearby Yun Realm expert rasped, “Realm Master, what do we do?”
If this continued, Ye Xuan would eventually break the formation and enter Yun Realm!
After a moment of silence, Zong Shou said, “Leave!”
Leave!
The Yun Realm experts froze.
Zong Shou repeated softly, “Go!”
An expert asked gravely, “And you, Realm Master…?”
Zong Shou chuckled, “His target’s always been me!”
Silence fell.
Zong Shou urged, “Hurry!”
The experts exchanged glances but didn’t move!
Zong Shou looked at them. “If you survive, rebuild Yun Realm someday. Dying here now is pointless—understand?”
They exchanged another look, still hesitant!
By then, Ye Xuan was nearing Yun Realm.
Seeing this, they stopped hesitating and turned to flee.
Zong Shou looked up at Ye Xuan, his right hand clenching as a powerful force gathered in his palm.
Suddenly, a blood-red explosion erupted, and Ye Xuan shattered the sky’s beams!
The heavens lay in chaos!
Crucially, Ye Xuan controlled his power precisely, avoiding large-scale destruction of the universe’s space-time—no Law power from Jun Daolin was triggered!
In the sky, Ye Xuan descended with his blood sword!
Below, Zong Shou laughed, “Ye Xuan, come on!”
He leaped upward, surging with power.
Above, Ye Xuan paused, then stepped forward—one step, one slash!
*Rip!*
In the sky, Zong Shou froze midair as Ye Xuan appeared behind him.
Ye Xuan opened his palm and continued downward.
Behind him, Zong Shou’s gaze dulled. He hadn’t expected Ye Xuan’s strength to grow this much in so short a time!
Xiao Xiao had dragged him into a pit!
The light in Zong Shou’s eyes faded. Suddenly, he saw something—his eyes widened, and excitement surged!
Below, Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword returning. He turned to the horizon, where a middle-aged man approached slowly!
It was Yun Mengzi!
This time, it wasn’t a clone or a soul fragment—it was his true body!
The real deal!
Zong Shou burst into laughter, “Ye Xuan! Ye Xuan! Your end is here! Haha… you—”
A sword pierced through the back of his head, exiting his mouth.
His voice stopped abruptly!
…
