The small tower was feeling a bit awkward!
Its master actually ignored it!
How was it supposed to step down from this?
As if struck by a thought, the tower turned to glance at Ye Xuan, somewhat helplessly saying, “Little master, are you really her biological child?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, the middle-aged man in front of the tower suddenly spoke, “I’m waiting for you to call someone!”
Hearing this, the tower flew into a rage, glaring at the man, “My little master has a sword—dare you touch it?”
As it spoke, Ye Xuan, ever cooperative, opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword slowly floated toward the middle-aged man!
He’d stand firm when needed, but never when it wasn’t!
The middle-aged man stared at the Qingxuan Sword before him, silent.
The tower sneered, “What, scared? This sword was forged by the greatest powerhouse in all the heavens and cosmos, Destiny Sister—dare you touch it?”
The man looked at the tower, a trace of disdain curling his lips, “The greatest powerhouse in all the heavens and cosmos? Ridiculous!”
With that, he gripped the Qingxuan Sword firmly with his right hand!
*Boom!*
The sword erupted with a terrifying force, but in the next instant, that power was suppressed by the man.
Expressionless, he said, “Let’s see who you really are!”
His voice fell, and he closed his eyes slowly. At the same time, the Qingxuan Sword began to tremble faintly!
Seeing this, the tower let out a sigh of relief, “I, the little tower, love confident guys like you!”
Nearby, Ye Xuan stood quietly, unmoving.
The tower couldn’t help but glance at him again, hesitating before asking, “Little master, have you really gone mad or not?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Suddenly, the middle-aged man snapped his head up, staring into the depths of the endless starry sky. A moment later, his pupils shrank.
*Swish!*
A sword pierced his brow without warning!
*Boom!*
In an instant, his body turned illusory!
His eyes filled with disbelief, “This…”
But it wasn’t over. In a distant, unknown world atop a towering mountain peak, on this day, a sword appeared in the sky above without any sign. As it did, a middle-aged man meditating there snapped his head up, a glint of ferocity in his eyes, “Insolence!”
His voice rang out as he opened his palm, a golden seal rising slowly from it. The moment it did, countless strange golden runes appeared in the surrounding heavens and earth, releasing beams of golden light that converged into the seal. In the next instant, the seal shot skyward, hurtling toward the sword!
The sword descended straight down!
When it struck the golden seal, the seal vanished silently!
Seeing this, the man’s pupils contracted, “How…”
Before he could finish, the sword plunged into his skull.
*Boom!*
His body turned illusory!
The sword morphed into a streak of light, vanishing at the edge of the boundless sky…
The man stared at the horizon, eyes full of confusion, “Slashing the clone, shattering the true body…”
His voice faded, and his body dissipated silently.
Fallen!
With his disappearance, the beings of this other world were stunned!
A Limitless Realm powerhouse, fallen just like that?
Whose sword was it?
The powerhouses of this entire world were dumbfounded!
Soon, an old man appeared where the middle-aged man had fallen, staring ahead with an无比 grave expression.
Then, a woman in a red dress appeared not far from him, her face equally solemn.
Both were Limitless Realm powerhouses!
The old man suddenly whispered, “Who was it?”
His voice carried a trace of bewilderment.
The red-dressed woman remained silent.
“Haha!”
A hearty laugh suddenly echoed from the distance.
They turned to see a middle-aged man in a white robe approaching slowly.
The old man narrowed his eyes, “Jun Daolin, what’s so funny?”
Jun Daolin laughed, “We’ve spent our lives seeking a breakthrough, but the nine of us have cultivated for tens of millions of years without a single step forward! Yet today, we’ve witnessed a strike from someone beyond Limitless—shouldn’t we be thrilled?”
The old man and the red-dressed woman fell silent.
Thrilled!
As Jun Daolin said, the nine of them had stagnated at Limitless for tens of millions of years, unable to advance. Many times, they’d wondered if Limitless was the end of the martial path.
But now, that sword had shown them it wasn’t!
At that thought, the old man and the woman suddenly smiled!
Hope!
In that moment, hope ignited in their hearts—Limitless wasn’t the end, giving them a new goal and drive!
The red-dressed woman turned to Jun Daolin, “Jun Daolin, do you know who wielded that sword?”
Jun Daolin laughed, “No idea!”
She glanced at him, saying nothing more, though her instincts told her he knew!
Then, another woman approached from the distance!
It was A Dao Ling!
A Dao Ling smiled, “Never thought Chi Di would fall just like that!”
Chi Di—the middle-aged man who’d been slain.
The red-dressed woman looked at A Dao Ling, “A Dao Ling, do you know who struck?”
A Dao Ling blinked, “No clue!”
The red-dressed woman frowned, glancing at A Dao Ling and Jun Daolin, “You must know!”
Jun Daolin smiled, “Red Veil, don’t dwell on who wielded the sword! You should ask why they killed Chi Di!”
Before Red Veil could reply, the old man interjected, “Whatever the reason, this old man’s choosing to keep a low profile from now on! Farewell!”
He turned and left.
Jun Daolin glanced at him, chuckling, “Old Mo Ke’s amusing, no wonder he’s lived the longest!”
Among the nine, Mo Ke might not be the strongest, but he’d survived the longest.
Red Veil looked at A Dao Ling and Jun Daolin, then turned and departed.
Only A Dao Ling and Jun Daolin remained!
A Dao Ling said softly, “Never imagined she’d be this strong!”
Jun Daolin smiled, “You know her?”
A Dao Ling nodded, “My clone in the Daolin Realm met her—got wiped out instantly!”
Jun Daolin’s smile faded, “Chi Di’s clone went to the Daolin Realm to kill that Ye Xuan kid…”
He looked at A Dao Ling, “It was someone behind Ye Xuan who killed him!”
A Dao Ling nodded.
Jun Daolin fell silent.
They didn’t hide it from each other because they were allies.
In this place, going solo was tough. One-on-one, killing was near impossible, but two-on-one changed everything.
Alliances were common here, and since they hailed from the same place, their partnership was natural.
Jun Daolin sighed, “Chi Di died so miserably… didn’t even see his killer!”
A Dao Ling laughed, “That little guy might come here soon!”
Jun Daolin looked at her, “You know him well?”
A Dao Ling’s lips curled, “He calls me big sis!”
Jun Daolin froze, then gave a thumbs-up, “Impressive!”
A Dao Ling laughed heartily.
…
In the Daolin Realm.
With the middle-aged man’s complete disappearance, the small tower sighed in relief, “Destiny Sister’s still the reliable one!”
As if recalling something, it turned to Ye Xuan. The man’s soul hadn’t been erased—it was absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
More precisely, Ye Xuan had controlled the sword to absorb it!
In that moment, the tower was certain Ye Xuan was fully lucid!
But it didn’t dare ask or expose him—this little master wasn’t a pushover. If it got cheeky now, he might play mad and beat it up!
And it’d take it for nothing!
In the shadows, King Zhongshan and Yin Sha were ecstatic!
They’d acted!
The big shot behind Ye Xuan had finally made a move!
And with one strike, they’d erased a Limitless powerhouse’s clone!
A Limitless big shot, no doubt!
Yin Sha’s voice trembled, “We bet right!”
King Zhongshan laughed, “Of course!”
Then his brow furrowed, “Watch out for one person!”
Yin Sha frowned too.
Yun Mengzi!
He’d vanished completely since the Limitless powerhouse appeared.
King Zhongshan said, “He probably won’t dare confront Ye Xuan openly now! But he might play dirty in the shadows!”
He paused, then shook his head with a smile, “With Ye Xuan’s wits, he’s probably not afraid of dirty tricks!”
Yin Sha smiled faintly, “True!”
In the distance, the Qingxuan Sword before Ye Xuan trembled violently, then erupted with a terrifying aura. As it did, the surrounding spacetime boiled, and soon, that boiling spacetime began to annihilate bit by bit!
Seeing this, King Zhongshan and Yin Sha’s faces turned grave.
The sword was about to break through!
It had already devoured countless strong souls, and now, a Limitless clone too!
It was finally ascending!
Near the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Xuan stood quietly. His bloodline power still roiled, but he didn’t run around killing indiscriminately!
This puzzled the tower immensely!
Unlike its master, this little master was different after activating his bloodline!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan looked up, palm open, and the Qingxuan Sword landed in his hand.
*Boom!*
The sword and Ye Xuan erupted with a terrifying aura together!
A dual breakthrough!
…
