“You’re a Limitless Realm expert, and you’re asking someone to lower their realm?”
That’s just too shameless!
At that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly laughed, “No problem!”
As his voice fell, he began lowering himself to the No-Path Realm, then looked at Ye Xuan, “Come on!”
Ye Xuan nodded, about to speak, when Xiao Yan abruptly vanished from his spot, his fist rocketing straight toward Ye Xuan’s face!
Strike first, gain the upper hand!
Countless life-and-death experiences had taught him that when fighting an opponent, never waste words!
A single unnecessary word could cost him his life!
He’d timed it perfectly, catching Ye Xuan just as he was about to speak, he knew this man wouldn’t expect an immediate attack!
This punch carried Xiao Yan’s full strength!
His goal was simple: one hit, one kill, leaving Ye Xuan no chance at all!
As his fist reached Ye Xuan’s face, Ye Xuan’s expression remained eerily calm, showing no intent to counter!
Seeing this, Xiao Yan’s heart jolted with unease, instinct screaming that something was wrong, but at this point, he had no way back!
Kill!
A flash of ferocity glinted in Xiao Yan’s eyes, his inner energy surging wildly as he poured everything into the strike!
Just as his fist was about to smash into Ye Xuan’s forehead, his body suddenly froze!
Xiao Yan blinked in confusion, what’s happening?
Why did I stop?
The next moment, his pupils shrank, his hands clutching his throat as blood spurted through his fingers.
Instant kill!
“Outrageous!”
At that moment, Yin Zun erupted in fury beside him, vanishing from his spot.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and slashed down with a sword strike.
Boom!
Yin Zun was flung back a thousand zhang by Ye Xuan’s single slash!
When Yin Zun stopped, he stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief, “You… Limitless Realm!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “Surprised?”
Yin Zun’s face darkened, “You’re actually Limitless Realm!”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his right hand, the Qingxuan Sword shot out.
In the distance, Yin Zun’s eyes narrowed, an iron staff appearing in his hand, the next moment, he smashed it down in front of him.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, but Yin Zun was hurled back another thousand zhang, and the iron staff in his hands was cleaved in two by Ye Xuan’s strike!
Seeing this, Yin Zun’s expression turned grim.
A Limitless Realm sword cultivator!
Since when did another Limitless Realm sword cultivator appear in this otherworld?
At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
Slash!
A streak of sword light tore through the scene!
Yin Zun’s eyes narrowed, he charged forward with a roar, throwing a punch, a beastly shadow flickering above his fist.
Boom!
That punch forcefully blocked Ye Xuan’s sword, not only that, it shattered Ye Xuan’s sword light.
In the distance, Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword returning to his hand, he looked at Yin Zun, who said gravely, “Since you’re Limitless Realm, why kill my disciple? Isn’t that just bullying the weak?”
Bullying the weak!
Ye Xuan laughed, “Old man, wasn’t it you and your disciple who picked a fight with me first?”
Yin Zun snapped, “How was I supposed to know you’re Limitless Realm?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Got it! If I’m Limitless Realm, you won’t mess with me, but if I’m not, I deserve to be picked on, right?”
Yin Zun glared at Ye Xuan, “You’re clearly Limitless Realm, yet you pretend to be No-Path Realm! Your intentions are downright sinister!”
Ye Xuan froze, then laughed, “Old man, you’re the one who came after me for no reason, and now it’s somehow my fault?”
Yin Zun raged, “If you’d shown your true strength, would I have targeted you?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You’re a bloody genius!”
As his voice fell, he vanished from his spot.
Slash!
A blood-red sword light ripped through the scene!
In the distance, a savage glint flashed in Yin Zun’s eyes, “You think I’m afraid of you?”
His voice dropped, his right foot slammed into the ground, his body lunged forward as he roared, “Get lost!”
Boom!
A phantom beast shadow appeared behind Yin Zun, the next moment, it let out a deafening roar.
Boom!
The surrounding space-time trembled violently, rippling like water, but it didn’t shatter!
Rumble!
Ye Xuan’s sword was blocked again, but the next instant, countless sword lights engulfed Yin Zun.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!
A series of tearing sounds erupted, and under everyone’s gaze, Yin Zun was flung back thousands of zhang, as he stopped, blood sprayed from his body!
At that moment, Yin Zun was covered in sword wounds!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan stood unscathed!
Seeing this, Yuan Zun and the others nearby grew solemn once more!
Ye Xuan’s combat strength was terrifyingly strong!
In the distance, Yin Zun wiped the blood from his mouth, looking at Ye Xuan, “Do you really want a fight to the death?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Weren’t you the one who started it?”
Yin Zun roared, “I only said a few words, and you want to kill me? Are you even human?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Yin Zun added, “If I offended you by saying a few things, can’t I just apologise?”
With that, he clasped his fists, “Lord Ye, my words earlier were out of line, please forgive me, don’t hold it against me!”
Everyone’s expressions turned odd!
This guy could really bend when he needed to!
Ye Xuan was a bit speechless too, he hadn’t expected this guy to apologise outright!
At that moment, Yuan Zun and the others looked at Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan smiled, “No hard feelings! It was just a misunderstanding, why would I hold a grudge? Yin Zun, I went a bit hard earlier, don’t take it to heart!”
Yin Zun glanced at Ye Xuan, “I won’t.”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Hope we can work well together moving forward! After all, the Limitless Divine Crystals are the goal of this trip, Yin Zun, keep the bigger picture in mind, no sneaky backstabs, alright?”
Nearby, Jun Daolin nodded slightly, “The bigger picture matters!”
The other Limitless Realm experts nodded too.
Truth be told, they didn’t want Ye Xuan to keep fighting Yin Zun either, if he did, they’d have to be wary of him.
After all, as Yin Zun said, though he’d offended Ye Xuan, it wasn’t worth killing over! Of course, Yin Zun was undeniably an idiot, cultivating for so long without growing a brain!
Yin Zun said gravely, “What are you saying, Lord Ye? I may have a temper, but I know what’s important!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then let’s keep moving!”
The group pressed on!
Beside Ye Xuan, A Dao Ling chuckled, “I’m a bit surprised!”
Ye Xuan smiled lightly, “Surprised I didn’t kill him?”
A Dao Ling nodded.
Ye Xuan glanced at Yin Zun in the distance, if he could kill him, he absolutely would, he didn’t leave loose ends! But the problem was, he’d missed the best chance to finish him off!
Without activating his bloodline, killing a Limitless Realm expert was tough!
Plus, Yin Zun had been ready to flee earlier! If he escaped, Ye Xuan couldn’t do much, the man was a rogue Limitless Realm cultivator, after all. And since Yin Zun had apologised, pressing the attack would make Jun Daolin and the other Limitless experts wary of him!
More friends were definitely better than more enemies!
A Dao Ling suddenly said, “Be careful crossing the river!”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the black river ahead, “Is there something fishy under it?”
A Dao Ling nodded, “Unknown creatures! What exactly, we don’t know!”
Ye Xuan said, “The river’s only a hundred zhang wide, with everyone’s strength, we could cross in a blink…”
He paused, then said gravely, “There’s something off with the space above it too?”
A Dao Ling nodded, “The space-time above this black river is bizarre, a twisted maze of sorts, that’s why we’ve never crossed it before, it’s just too strange, none of us were confident we could get through or come back!”
Space-time!
Ye Xuan froze slightly, what was he least afraid of? All kinds of space-time!
A Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan, “I know your sword’s special, can you lead the way?”
Lead the way!
Everyone turned to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled, “No problem!”
With that, he stepped forward, his footfall rippling the space-time beneath him, the next moment, the scene before him morphed into an unknown starry domain!
Then, A Dao Ling and the others appeared behind him, Ye Xuan glanced ahead, countless space-time tunnels stretched before him, not only that, they reflected endless versions of the group like mirrors.
Pretty eerie!
Ye Xuan frowned, scanning the surroundings, finally, he opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword trembled slightly, he closed his eyes briefly, then looked into the distance, “Follow me!”
He headed toward one of the tunnels!
But as he stepped forward, the space twisted violently.
Everyone’s faces paled!
Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, “Suppress!”
His voice fell, the Qingxuan Sword trembled, the next moment, the twisted space snapped back to normal!
Seeing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief!
They pressed on, but then Ye Xuan stopped, not far ahead, six men wielding ancient spears appeared, bare-chested, their bodies covered in blood-red runes!
Six living men!
Behind them stood an altar, atop it lay a woman in an ink-black dress, her face covered by a blood-red veil.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the others grew solemn!
At that moment, the Qingxuan Sword quivered, and Little Soul’s voice rang in Ye Xuan’s mind, “Young Master, get out now!”
Get out now!
Her voice carried a hint of panic!
Ye Xuan’s face changed, he shouted, “Retreat!”
As his voice fell, he turned to flee, but at that moment, the six spear-wielding men vanished from their spots.
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, with a thought, the Qingxuan Sword morphed into a sword-shield before him.
An ancient spear struck.
Boom!
The shield shuddered, Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, just then, he whipped his head around, as he did, he saw to his right, Yuan Zun’s head flew off, followed instantly by Jun Daolin, An Beishen, A Dao Ling, and the others—all decapitated in a flash!
Except for him, everyone in the group was instantly killed!
Total annihilation!
Ye Xuan’s face went deathly pale in that moment!
Not even a chance to fight back!
Then, the six spear-wielding men turned to him, one raised his weapon to strike, but a voice called from the altar, “Wait!”
At that, the man stopped, the six turned slowly, facing the woman on the altar, kneeling in unison, heads bowed.
Ye Xuan also looked at the woman descending, her face hidden by the blood-red veil, her features obscured!
She suddenly appeared before Ye Xuan, his pupils shrank, with a thought, the Qingxuan Sword turned into a shield again!
The woman pointed two fingers, tapping the shield.
The next moment—
Boom!
The shield shattered, exploding into countless fragments!
Ye Xuan’s mind went blank!
The Qingxuan Sword… was broken!
