I’m invincible, do your worst!
As Ye Xuan’s words rang out, Tuoba Yan beside him froze for a moment, then smiled faintly. When she looked at him, her eyes held not just admiration but a trace of awe.
This once-small man had become unfathomably powerful.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s declaration, the black-robed elder first blinked in surprise, then burst into laughter, his voice thundering across the sky.
Ye Xuan watched him, smiling silently.
The elder suddenly pointed at Ye Xuan in fury, “You, invincible? To utter such absurdity—your shamelessness is something I’ve never witnessed!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Just then, dozens of afterimages appeared on the distant horizon!
The elder glanced at them, overjoyed, “They’re here!”
As his voice fell, dozens of figures landed in the palace. Leading them was a middle-aged man, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of authority.
Seeing him, the black-robed elder hurriedly said, “Greetings, Sect Leader!”
Tianzong’s Sect Leader, Mu Lang!
Mu Lang glanced at the elder, noting his soul-only state, and his eyes narrowed. He turned to Ye Xuan nearby, “Your doing?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Yep!”
Mu Lang stared at him, “You know he’s from Tianzong?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I do!”
Mu Lang’s right hand clenched slowly. The next moment, he lunged forward, throwing a punch straight at Ye Xuan!
The punch tore through space!
Strike first, ask later!
As Mu Lang’s fist came within inches of Ye Xuan’s face, an invisible force stopped it cold!
Mu Lang froze, then his heart jolted with dread. He tried to retreat, but a powerful force blasted him back hundreds of feet. When he stopped, his physical body shattered into nothingness!
The Tianzong powerhouses in the hall were dumbfounded!
His body… gone?
Their invincible sect leader’s body, just… gone?
The black-robed elder looked like he’d lost his soul, his spirit retreating frantically as if he’d seen a ghost!
Beside Ye Xuan, Tuoba Yan gently took his hand, whispering, “You’ve gotten so strong!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “I’m not just strong by day—nights are my specialty!”
Tuoba Yan paused, then caught his meaning, rolling her eyes as a blush spread across her cheeks, stunningly beautiful.
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, his left arm slipping around her waist.
In the distance, Mu Lang’s trembling voice croaked, “You… are you the legendary Primordial Origin Realm?”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Nope!”
Mu Lang stared at him. Moments later, he roared, “Summon the Ancestor!”
His voice echoed as he opened his palm, a token shooting from his hand into the clouds above.
*Boom!*
The sky churned, the clouds boiling!
Ye Xuan rubbed his nose, speechless.
Tuoba Yan whispered, “They’re calling their ancestor!”
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Ye Xuan smiled, “Don’t be afraid. Here, your man’s invincible!”
Tuoba Yan blinked, “What about elsewhere?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I’m invincible there too!”
Bragging’s not a crime—why not flex a little?
Just then, an old man emerged from the clouds.
Seeing him, the soul-only Mu Lang bowed deeply, “Greetings, Master Ancestor!”
Master Ancestor!
Behind Mu Lang, the Tianzong powerhouses knelt in unison!
The old man surveyed the scene, expressionless, “What a weak world!”
He looked down at Mu Lang, “What’s the matter?”
Mu Lang pointed at Ye Xuan, “Master Ancestor, this man wants to destroy Tianzong!”
The old man turned to Ye Xuan, frowning slightly, “He looks… familiar!”
Familiar!
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’ve spent some time in the Five-Dimensional Universe!”
“Five-Dimensional Universe!”
The old man’s brow furrowed deeper, staring at Ye Xuan, the sense of familiarity growing.
Mu Lang hurriedly added, “Master Ancestor, he not only wants to wipe out Tianzong but mocks you! Please, strike him down!”
The old man ignored Mu Lang, focusing on Ye Xuan, “Your surname?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Ye!”
“Ye…”
The old man frowned, pondering. Suddenly, his pupils shrank, his voice trembling, “Are you… Ye Xuan, Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “You know me?”
Hearing this, the old man’s body shook. Under everyone’s gaze, his legs gave out, and he knelt.
The Tianzong powerhouses were stunned.
What was happening?
The old man’s face paled, his eyes filled with terror, “Young… Young Master Ye… I didn’t know it was you… I’ve offended you, please forgive me…”
He kowtowed repeatedly.
The Tianzong members turned to stone!
Young Master Ye?
Who was this Young Master Ye?
How had they never heard of him?
Ye Xuan looked at the kneeling elder, smiling, “You know me?”
The old man nodded, trembling, “Young Master Ye once guarded the entire Five-Dimensional Universe—who doesn’t know you?”
In the Five-Dimensional Universe, there were two guardian deities: the Five-Dimensional Heavenly Dao, Mu Niannian, and Ye Xuan, Young Master Ye!
At this moment, the old man was terrified beyond measure.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Then why don’t I know you?”
The old man gave a bitter smile, “It’s normal you don’t know me. I’m just a nobody. I’ve never seen you in person—only your statue.”
He kowtowed again, “Young Master Ye, my disciples didn’t recognize you and offended you. Please forgive them!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Forgive them? I thought you were smart, but I was wrong! If they’d offended me, I’m easygoing—I wouldn’t care. But they offended my woman, and you’re asking me to let them go? Interesting!”
The old man’s face changed instantly. He stammered, “Young Master Ye, I’ll kill them right now!”
He turned sharply, slamming his palm down.
*Boom!*
Before Mu Lang and the others could react, they were erased!
After killing them, the old man added, “Young Master Ye, from this moment, I’ll disband Tianzong…”
Ye Xuan waved casually.
*Boom!*
The old man was wiped out!
Mercy?
He wouldn’t show mercy. Flip the scenario—if he weren’t strong, what would’ve happened to Tuoba Yan today?
Being kind to enemies was beyond foolish!
Just then, several figures rushed in from the distance.
Ye Xuan blinked in surprise—he knew them: Mo Yunqi and the others!
Jiang Jiu was there too!
Jiang Jiu, still in her battle armor, radiated valor!
Seeing Ye Xuan, Mo Yunqi charged over, laughing, “Ye Bandit, I thought you’d died out there!”
He gave Ye Xuan a bear hug.
Ye Xuan grinned, “I’m tough to kill!”
Mo Yunqi laughed, “I know you’re tough—most can’t touch you!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Nonsense, the one who can kill me hasn’t been born yet!”
Mo Yunqi froze, then shook his head, “Your skin’s gotten thicker!”
Ye Xuan burst into laughter!
The group gathered, celebrating together.
Mo Yunqi and Bai Ze drank themselves silly, but Ye Xuan stayed sober. He stepped outside the hall, where Tuoba Yan sat on the steps.
Ye Xuan sat beside her. She whispered, “Leaving?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Tuoba Yan said nothing.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a wisp of sword qi sank into her body. “This sword qi stays with you. As long as your foe’s weaker than me, you can use it to wipe them out instantly. It won’t fade!”
Tuoba Yan nodded faintly, “Good!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm again, handing her a storage ring, “This has some divine extreme crystals and cultivation methods. Follow them, and your strength will soar!”
Tuoba Yan smiled, “Anything else?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “That’s it!”
Tuoba Yan took the ring, whispering, “Go on, then!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I’m off!”
Tuoba Yan opened her mouth but stopped.
Ye Xuan vanished.
Seeing him disappear, Tuoba Yan froze, staring at the horizon, her gaze turning wistful.
After a long while, she looked away, her expression dim.
But then, a sword light landed before her. As it dissipated, Ye Xuan appeared.
Tuoba Yan blinked, stunned.
Ye Xuan’s lips curved, “I’m not leaving tonight!”
Tuoba Yan threw her arms around him, trembling, “Kiss me!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
That night—pure ecstasy!
…
The next day.
At dawn, a sword light shot from the palace, vanishing at the horizon in a blink.
In a chamber, Tuoba Yan’s eyes snapped open. She glanced beside her, saw Ye Xuan gone, and after a silent moment, smiled faintly.
She rose, but as her feet touched the floor, her legs wobbled, nearly buckling from the soreness…
…
In another hall, Mo Yunqi sat up, shaking off the hangover. He glanced at Bai Ze, sprawled like a dead pig nearby.
Mo Yunqi shook his head, about to call out, when Bai Ze’s eyes opened. He sat up, looking into the distance, “He’s gone?”
Mo Yunqi nodded, “Gone!”
Bai Ze nodded slightly, “Let’s go, then!”
He stood to leave, but paused, opening his palm. A storage ring lay there, startling him.
Mo Yunqi opened his palm too—another storage ring!
Clearly, Ye Xuan had left them!
They exchanged a glance. Mo Yunqi shook his head with a smile, “That guy…”
