Can you play like that?
Needless to say, the man’s mind was thrown into disarray by Ye Xuan’s single sword strike.
He knew that only the most elite geniuses of the Great Motian Domain could enter this place. How could such a genius stoop to using such underhanded tactics? It was simply too despicable!
The man glared at Ye Xuan, his expression icy. “Are you that Child of Destiny or the one with the Divine Eyes?”
Ye Xuan glanced at him and countered, “Are you that Defiant One?”
The man stared at Ye Xuan. “I asked you first!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “I’m neither!”
The man frowned slightly. “From what I know, the brute from the Saint Vein isn’t supposed to be that strong…”
At that, Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. It seemed this youth didn’t know him, which made sense—he’d only joined the Saint Vein a few days ago!
Just then, the man began walking slowly toward Ye Xuan. “I took one of your sword strikes earlier. Now, you take one of my spear thrusts!”
As his words fell, he vanished from the spot!
A glint of cold light arrived first!
*Rip!*
The space-time in front of Ye Xuan suddenly tore open a sliver, and a spear tip thrust forth!
The moment that spear came, Ye Xuan felt as if he’d been locked onto. Soon, he pinpointed the key—this thrust had locked onto his soul!
A soul-locking spear!
Without overthinking, Ye Xuan didn’t retreat but advanced, stepping forward and slashing fiercely with his sword.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light shattered abruptly.
Both of them shot back nearly ten thousand zhang at the same time!
But as Ye Xuan retreated, countless flying swords tore through the battlefield. They moved at blinding speed, reaching the man in an instant!
In the distance, the man’s eyes narrowed. He thrust his spear forward, unleashing a wave of spear shadows that swept out, instantly filling the space within thousands of zhang around him with a storm of spear strikes.
*Boom!*
The heavens and earth trembled violently. The sky ripped apart into a massive spiderweb pattern, only to heal itself in the blink of an eye!
At that moment, both retreating figures came to a halt. The instant Ye Xuan stopped, the man vanished again, reappearing above Ye Xuan’s head.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, about to draw his sword, when the man’s entire form suddenly turned ethereal. Then, he thrust his spear downward. As it descended, Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank—this thrust wasn’t in the same space-time as him!
The opponent was trying to suppress him with a special space-time technique!
Realizing this, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. The next moment, he entered a mysterious space-time!
This was the very mysterious space-time Qing’er had left him. Initially, he’d needed the Qingxuan Sword to access it, but later, he’d gained the ability to enter without it!
The moment he stepped into that mysterious space-time, a spear appeared before him. That spear was so powerful it had pierced into his space-time. But here, he had the home advantage!
Ye Xuan’s sword flew from his hand, a wave of sword light slashing down, instantly engulfing the spear!
*Boom!*
With that strike, the spear vanished completely.
Ye Xuan looked up into the distance. The man was still standing not far ahead. Though they faced each other, they existed in entirely different space-times!
The man stared intently at Ye Xuan, his silver spear trembling slightly, poised to strike.
Ye Xuan brushed off his sleeve, then looked at the man, a flicker of excitement in his eyes!
Since his recent breakthrough, he hadn’t fought anyone yet!
And combat was the fastest way to improve. This battle with the man was exhilarating!
Without further thought, Ye Xuan stepped forward, exiting the mysterious space-time abyss. He locked eyes with the man. In the next instant, both vanished from their spots simultaneously!
*Rip!*
The space-time before them split open. The next moment, they disappeared into thin air. Then, a torrent of spear light and sword light erupted from the rift!
*Boom!*
In an instant, tens of thousands of mountains in the area began to quake!
Not only the surrounding mountains but the space-time around them boiled as well, an utterly terrifying sight.
Just then, the rift exploded. Two figures shot out, retreating simultaneously—it was Ye Xuan and the spear-wielding man!
Ye Xuan flew back tens of thousands of zhang. The moment he stopped, the space-time behind him disintegrated, only to restore itself at a horrifying speed!
In the distance, the man halted and glanced at his chest. A long sword mark stretched across it!
In truth, Ye Xuan bore wounds too, but with his Immortal Bloodline, they healed almost instantly!
The most perverse aspect of this Immortal Bloodline was that, unless he faced an opponent far stronger than him, Ye Xuan was a war god—an unkillable war god!
The man’s right hand tightened slowly around his spear. In an instant, the surrounding world turned ethereal.
In the distance, Ye Xuan held a sheathed sword in his left hand, his expression calm.
He knew the man was about to unleash his ultimate move!
And that meant they might soon be fighting to the death!
With that thought, Ye Xuan’s thumb rested lightly on his sword hilt.
With a single thought, his sword would unsheathe. He was eager to test the power of his self-created “Moment of Life and Death.” So far, he hadn’t used any aura, sword momentum, or the Qingxuan Sword!
His aura, sword momentum, the Qingxuan Sword, and that instantaneous strike were his ultimate trump card!
Just as they were about to clash, the distant mountain range trembled violently. A moment later, a mountain ten thousand zhang tall shattered, sending countless rocks and dust soaring into the sky. Then, a colossal demonic beast emerged. Its size was beyond comprehension—standing there like a pillar holding up the heavens. Forget Ye Xuan; even the mountains around it looked like ants in comparison!
Seeing the beast, Ye Xuan frowned. This thing was absurdly massive!
The man’s brows furrowed too.
Suddenly, the beast turned its gaze toward Ye Xuan and the man. Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched. Bloody hell, it can see me?
With its size, he must look like a speck of dust to it!
The beast abruptly swung a fist!
At that punch, both Ye Xuan and the man’s expressions changed drastically!
It felt as if the sky itself was collapsing!
The fist blotted out the sun and sky!
What the hell?!
Ye Xuan cursed inwardly, turned, and shot into the air on his sword, vanishing to the horizon’s edge in a blink. But he was still too slow.
*Boom!*
A tremendous force erupted behind him. In an instant, he was blasted tens of thousands of li away!
Not only that—when he stopped, his entire back had split open, blood gushing from his mouth!
Ye Xuan was dazed from the blow!
This terrifying?!
He turned to look. At that moment, he froze!
In his line of sight, the previous mountain range had vanished, replaced by a flat expanse!
That single punch had obliterated the vast mountain range into nothingness!
Ye Xuan gazed at the distant beast. Though it was now far away, its size remained enormous—barely smaller than before!
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan glanced at the spear-wielding man. The man’s face was deathly pale—clearly, that punch had gravely injured him too!
Sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, the man turned to meet his eyes. Their locked gazes burned with unmasked battle intent!
Just then, the beast’s right hand slowly clenched. As it did, the entire world turned ethereal.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan and the man’s faces changed again. Without hesitation, they turned and fled, pushing their speeds to the absolute limit! In a flash, they vanished beyond the distant horizon.
Behind them, the beast frowned slightly. Moments later, it unclenched its fist and turned to leave.
With each step it took, the ground quaked violently…
…
At the far horizon, Ye Xuan stopped. He glanced back, saw the beast wasn’t following, and let out a sigh of relief!
He really didn’t want to fight that thing. His gut told him his sword energy would barely scratch it!
As if realizing something, Ye Xuan scanned his surroundings, a trace of wariness rising in his heart!
This place was far from simple!
He looked to his right—the spear-wielding man was gone.
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan walked onward. His goal here was the cave abode of the Heaven-Controlling God. This was the place, but it was vast, and he had no clue where the exact spot was!
Nor did he know if this Heaven-Controlling God was alive or dead!
Everything was unknown!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan said, “In the future, I’ll leave behind a cave abode too, and let descendants explore it! That’d be pretty fun!”
Little Pagoda: “…”
Ye Xuan pressed forward. Soon, he reached a lake shaped like a heart, its water crystal clear.
He swept his gaze over the lakebed—nothing but stones, and that was it!
Then, Little Pagoda spoke up. “If Little White were here, it’d be great!”
Ye Xuan frowned, puzzled. “Why?”
Little Pagoda explained, “Little White has a treasure-hunting ability. She knows where the good stuff is! If she were here, you’d strike it rich, Little Master!”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Why don’t you have that ability?”
Little Pagoda said gravely, “I’m just a pagoda!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
As Ye Xuan prepared to cross the lake, a piercing, sky-shattering scream rang out from behind him!
He shot into the air and turned. At the distant end of the mountain range, he saw a massive head slowly falling from the sky!
That giant head belonged to the beast from earlier!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank. Bloody hell, someone killed that beast?!
Who?!
…
