Would Qing’er destroy the Milky Way?
Ye Xuan didn’t know. All he knew was that the Milky Way was likely in for a rough time.
Moments later, Ye Xuan arrived in the Daylight Space-Time.
Thanks to the Qingxuan Sword, the erosive power of the Daylight Realm had no effect on him. Moreover, within this realm, the power of his Life-Severing technique became even more terrifying! The Daylight Realm was filled with the power of time’s passage, which the Qingxuan Sword could directly harness!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
He hadn’t entered the Daylight Realm to manipulate the flow of time but to test the power of the “Concentrated Spirit” state.
The moment he closed his eyes, Ye Xuan entered a meditative state, swiftly followed by the Concentrated Spirit state.
In that instant, his mental energy and soul power reached a peak of focus.
Ye Xuan’s thumb flicked lightly.
*Buzz!*
The Qingxuan Sword shot out, slashing forward.
*Boom!*
In an instant, the entire Daylight Realm disintegrated!
A slight smile curved Ye Xuan’s lips.
The power of this sword strike was far, far greater than before!
In the meditative state, all things became clear. In the Concentrated Spirit state, he himself became clear. The key difference was that one clarified the world, while the other clarified the self.
In the Concentrated Spirit state, he could push every aspect of himself to its utmost limit.
Invincible!
Ye Xuan felt that sensation again.
Now, not only had he reached the Concentrated Spirit Realm, but he had also created the terrifying Life-Severing sword technique!
Boundary Breaker Realm?
They were no longer his match!
But Ye Xuan remained clear-headed. He hadn’t forgotten his “three-day charm” rule—his moments of brilliance never lasted long!
Stay low-key!
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and four storage rings appeared in his hand.
Inside the rings were nearly fifty star veins!
These fifty star veins were the personal wealth of Gu Ming and the others—not an enormous amount, but certainly not insignificant!
Combined with what Ling Tian had given him, he now possessed nearly seventy-five star veins. Star veins were valuable even to Boundary Breaker Realm powerhouses, meaning they wouldn’t lose their worth for a long time!
Ye Xuan stowed the rings and left the area, arriving in a starry expanse. He glanced around and smiled faintly. “Little Pagoda, it’s time to head to the next universe!”
Little Pagoda replied, “Indeed!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Little Pagoda, any expectations for the next world?”
Little Pagoda was silent for a moment before saying, “I hope the people in the next world are stronger. Otherwise, it’s just too boring! Life needs a bit of challenge to be interesting!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “Exactly! Let’s go say goodbye to Patriarch Ling Tian!”
With that, he transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished.
In the Spirit Realm.
Ling Tian looked at Ye Xuan, frowning slightly. “You’re leaving?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “It’s time to go!”
Ling Tian was puzzled. “Why?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “There are no worthy opponents left here!”
Ling Tian’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “Elder Ling Tian, do you know any particularly dangerous places?”
Ling Tian considered, then said, “Are you serious?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “The more dangerous, the better!”
Ling Tian looked at Ye Xuan. “There’s a place that might suit you, but it’s truly dangerous!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “The more dangerous, the better!”
After a moment’s silence, Ling Tian said, “The Realm of the Dead!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “The Realm of the Dead?”
Ling Tian nodded. “A very mysterious place. Even the people of the Six Realms dare not go there, including those far beyond the Boundary Breaker Realm.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “How do I get there?”
Ling Tian looked at him. “Don’t you want to learn more about it first?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No need!”
Ling Tian hesitated, then pointed two fingers at Ye Xuan’s brow.
*Boom!*
A stream of information surged into Ye Xuan’s mind!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Elder Ling Tian, farewell!”
As he turned to leave, Ling Tian suddenly called out, “Wait!”
Ye Xuan looked back. “What is it?”
Ling Tian said gravely, “I understand your desire for adventure and excitement, but that place is far from simple. Once you’re there, be extremely careful!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Got it!”
Ling Tian nodded slightly. “Take care!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Until we meet again!”
With that, he rode his sword and vanished at the horizon’s edge.
Ling Tian watched Ye Xuan’s sword light fade into the distance, her brows slightly furrowed.
…
Ye Xuan left the Six Realms, heading straight for the Realm of the Dead!
The Realm of the Dead!
He wasn’t afraid in the slightest!
Why?
Because the name alone suggested a place steeped in deathly energy, which he could absorb! Moreover, with his current strength, when he wielded the Qingxuan Sword, who could stand against him except the Three Swords?
He didn’t dare claim invincibility, but he felt that, aside from the Three Swords, there was likely no one in the heavens or earth who could match him!
At this thought, Ye Xuan let out a sly chuckle. He was getting a bit cocky!
At that moment, Little Pagoda suddenly said, “Young Master, should we show off subtly or go all out?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “What do you think?”
Little Pagoda said gravely, “How about we play the pig to eat the tiger? I think that’s a good approach! We pretend to be weak, wait for some dim-witted fool to challenge us, then reveal our true strength and crush them. If we face a smart enemy, they’ll immediately back down. If they’re foolish, they’ll call for their father or ancestors, and we can keep showing off…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Pagoda continued, “Going all out works too. With our current strength, aside from the Three Swords, we have no rivals! And the Three Swords are on our side. In that case, why shouldn’t we be bold? Why hold back?”
Ye Xuan considered, then said, “That makes sense!”
With a hearty laugh, he sped up.
Soon, Ye Xuan and Little Pagoda arrived in the Realm of the Dead.
Upon entering, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. He understood why it was called the Realm of the Dead.
The place was utterly eerie!
There was no trace of life, only an unsettling strangeness pervading everything.
Ye Xuan glanced around, then walked into the distance. Before long, he reached a riverbank where a blood-red stone tablet stood, inscribed with two words: Dead Man’s River!
Dead Man’s River!
Ye Xuan studied the river. Its waters were murky, shrouded in a mysterious force that made it impossible to see the riverbed.
After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “Little Pagoda, want to check it out first?”
Little Pagoda said gravely, “Young Master, are you scared?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “How could I be?”
Little Pagoda said, “With your current strength, no one can kill you. Wherever you go, you’re a big shot!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded. “That makes sense!”
With that, he walked towards the Dead Man’s River. As he reached the bank, his brows furrowed. The water in the river’s centre began to ripple, and a woman slowly emerged, floating upwards!
The woman wore a thin red gauze dress, her graceful figure faintly visible beneath, alluring and enticing.
Wet temptation!
Ye Xuan thought of the phrase.
The woman glanced at Ye Xuan but said nothing, merely taking out a comb and beginning to comb her hair. She combed slowly, gently, with tenderness.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said mentally, “Little Pagoda, what should we do now?”
Little Pagoda said, “Fight her!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Just like that?”
Little Pagoda said, “This woman is clearly a master. Spar with her, but don’t kill her. Our goal is to seek defeat, not to kill!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the woman in the distance. She suddenly asked, “Is something the matter?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I seek a fight!”
The woman’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. “Seek a fight?”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “Yes!”
The woman considered, then nodded. “Alright!”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the woman suddenly vanished from her spot.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He flicked his thumb, and the Qingxuan Sword shot out, slashing forward. But in the next moment, his pupils constricted. He discovered that the Qingxuan Sword had inexplicably returned to its sheath!
What was happening?
Before Ye Xuan could react, a hand seized his throat!
*Boom!*
In an instant, Ye Xuan’s physical body shattered. At the same time, the woman’s hand pointed a finger at his soul’s brow.
*Boom!*
Ye Xuan’s soul trembled violently, frozen in place as if bound!
Ye Xuan was stunned!
At that moment, Little Pagoda suddenly said, “Young Master, even if you want to show off subtly, don’t go this far! Don’t hold back so much!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “In millions of years, you’re the first to make such a request…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman suddenly opened her palm, and the Qingxuan Sword flew into her hand. She pinched the blade with two fingers, sliding them gently down to the tip, where she applied sudden force.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently.
It didn’t break, but a faint crack appeared on its blade. In an instant, it returned to normal. However, a crack also appeared on the woman’s fingers, and blood seeped out.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically!
She could crack the Qingxuan Sword!
Damn it!
This attempt at showing off had utterly failed!
The woman’s brows furrowed slightly. She looked at Ye Xuan. “This sword of yours is interesting!”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
What could he say?
His attempt to show off had failed, and he was speechless!
The woman suddenly opened her palm, and Little Pagoda appeared in her hand. She studied it, then said, “Reverse time…”
At that moment, Little Pagoda suddenly said, “Young Master, fight her!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
The woman glanced at Little Pagoda. “He doesn’t seem able to beat me!”
Little Pagoda said gravely, “Nonsense! My Young Master was just invincible. How could he not beat you? He’s just trying to show off subtly! Young Master, take her down!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “Are you being subtle?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Pagoda continued, “Of course! Below the Three Swords, who could kill my Young Master?”
Ye Xuan remained silent.
He was feeling a bit awkward now…
Hearing Little Pagoda’s words, the woman looked at Ye Xuan, studying him. “Your Young Master doesn’t seem that impressive!”
Just as Little Pagoda was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Little Pagoda… stop bragging!”
Little Pagoda froze, then said, “Young Master, stop hiding your strength! Take her down! Make her sing ‘Conquer’!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
