At this moment, the Third Elder was utterly stunned!
Defeated in an instant!
He had never imagined he would die so pathetically!
He didn’t even see who his opponent was!
Truly a destined calamity!
The Third Elder’s throat bobbed as he looked at the old ghost beside him, trembling as he said, “It… it really was a destined calamity…”
The old ghost hesitated, then nodded.
The Third Elder roared, “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
The old ghost was dumbfounded. Hadn’t he said it?
It was this fool who hadn’t believed him!
At that moment, the Third Elder completely vanished.
Annihilated!
Gone!
The old ghost stood frozen, his mind in disarray.
A living person, gone just like that!
Had he underestimated that woman called Destiny?
The thought suddenly crossed the old ghost’s mind.
Could she be more than a Destiny Mysterious Realm expert?
As soon as the idea emerged, the old ghost shook his head with a wry smile, finding his own thought absurd.
Even the Zhou Clan of the Heavenly Family didn’t have anyone above the Destiny Mysterious Realm!
That woman, above Destiny Mysterious?
Absolutely impossible!
With that in mind, he hesitated, then set off for the Zhou Clan of the Heavenly Family.
He still didn’t want to miss this karmic opportunity, so he decided to warn the clan’s powerhouses to be cautious of the woman in the plain skirt…
—
In an unknown expanse of starry sky, inside the small pagoda, Ye Xuan looked at Liang Ren before him. Her injuries had already healed.
Liang Ren met his gaze. “Why are you staring at me?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Not long ago, you were invincible. Now, you’ve been thoroughly beaten! I’ve realised my strength can’t keep up with the pace of this world’s changes! If this continues, I might end up dead!”
Liang Ren snapped, “They ganged up on me, four against one!”
Ye Xuan let out a soft sigh, sitting to the side without another word.
He had to admit, the emergence of this Heavenly Family Zhou Clan was giving him a headache!
He’d just come out of seclusion, his strength greatly improved, but he hadn’t expected the enemy to change again!
How could this be?
Ye Xuan’s head throbbed.
At that moment, Liang Ren suddenly asked, “What’s your plan?”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Do you think they’ll let you go?”
Liang Ren fell silent.
Ye Xuan abruptly said, “Miss Liang Ren, how about we team up to wipe out the Zhou Clan?”
Liang Ren stared at him. “Are you feverish?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “You’re the one who’s feverish!”
Liang Ren frowned slightly. “If you’re not ill, how could you say something so ignorant?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Is the Zhou Clan really that strong?”
Liang Ren fixed her gaze on him. “I can understand you not knowing about the Dao Society—it’s a rather secretive organisation. But not knowing the Zhou Clan? That’s frankly abnormal!”
Ye Xuan chuckled. “Are they that strong?”
Liang Ren said gravely, “The Zhou Clan has at least three Destiny Mysterious Realm experts. Do you think that’s strong?”
Destiny Mysterious Realm!
Ye Xuan nodded, saying nothing.
Liang Ren continued, “The person behind you dared to kill someone from the Zhou Clan…”
She paused, frowning. “She’s not in the Destiny Mysterious Realm?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss Liang Ren, I’ll just ask you this: do you want to take down the Zhou Clan?”
Liang Ren looked at him. “Just you and me?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Liang Ren shook her head. “No chance!”
Ye Xuan said with a light smile, “If you’re willing to trust me, we’ll team up. If not, you can leave now, and I’ll take them on myself!”
Liang Ren was silent for a long time before standing up. She turned to leave but stopped after two steps, then turned back to Ye Xuan. “I trust you!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Now, step one: we train!”
Liang Ren frowned. “Train now?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Liang Ren asked gravely, “Will it help?”
Ye Xuan glanced around. “Look at this place!”
Liang Ren looked around, and in the next moment, her expression changed drastically.
The flow of time was different!
Liang Ren turned to Ye Xuan. “If outsiders knew about this pagoda, the entire Origin Universe would go mad for it!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Then let’s make sure they don’t find out! Miss Liang Ren, your primary goal now is to reach the Knowledge Mysterious Realm. While you’re at it, guide me a bit. I need your help with training!”
Liang Ren nodded. “Fine!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. He looked at Liang Ren. “Miss Liang Ren, I want to test the power of this sword strike. Be careful!”
With that, he took her to a desolate star field.
This spiritually barren star field, devoid of life, was perfect for training and sparring.
Ye Xuan looked at Liang Ren. “Miss Liang Ren, watch out!”
As his words fell, countless forces of time’s passage gathered into the Qingxuan Sword. In the next moment, his thumb flicked, and the sword struck.
In the distance, Liang Ren’s pupils contracted. Facing Ye Xuan’s terrifying strike, she didn’t dare underestimate it. She stepped forward, pointing a finger. As her finger moved, the space-time before her collapsed inward, and countless mysterious forces within that collapsed space-time frantically annihilated everything.
However, those forces vanished as soon as they appeared!
Seeing this, Liang Ren’s heart jolted. Her body flickered, retreating hundreds of thousands of metres away!
Centred on Ye Xuan, the space-time within a radius of hundreds of thousands of metres was utterly annihilated.
From afar, Liang Ren stared at Ye Xuan. “The Realm of Daytime!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “What do you think of this strike’s power?”
Liang Ren was silent for a moment before saying, “Invincible!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Invincible?”
Liang Ren nodded.
Ye Xuan frowned. “How? That strike didn’t even touch you!”
Liang Ren shook her head. “You’re wrong! I dodged that strike. If I’d chosen to face it head-on, I’d have died under that sword!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “So it’s still useless?”
Liang Ren glared at him. “Useless? Do you realise that strike caused this space-time to age countless millennia? Under that force of time’s passage, any power would perish! Of course, it’s not absolute. Destiny Mysterious Realm experts might withstand your time’s passage, but I’m not certain.”
She shook her head slightly. “Below Destiny Mysterious, no one would dare face you head-on! If you hadn’t struck first but waited to counter, I’d have died without a doubt!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan understood!
A counterstrike!
If Liang Ren had attacked first and he countered, she wouldn’t have been able to dodge that strike!
If she faced it head-on, anyone below Destiny Mysterious would die without question!
At this realisation, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth curled upward.
This strike was effective after all!
Liang Ren looked at Ye Xuan. “How did you manage to draw out the force of time’s passage from the Realm of Daytime?”
Ye Xuan raised the Qingxuan Sword in his hand.
Liang Ren gave him a deep look. “Your sister is definitely not just Destiny Mysterious!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Is it that hard to draw out the force of time’s passage from the Realm of Daytime?”
Liang Ren shook her head. “Try it without that sword!”
Ye Xuan gave an awkward smile. Without the Qingxuan Sword, he found he couldn’t draw it out—nor dared to. That force of time’s passage was too much for him to handle.
In truth, he hadn’t mentioned that he hadn’t used his full strength in that strike!
What was his full-strength strike?
In a state of calm focus, summoning the momentum and power of all heavens and realms, activating his bloodline power, sword momentum, and aura, then adding a Destiny-Slaying Strike—this was his strongest strike!
As for its true power, he didn’t know!
But for now, unless a Destiny Mysterious Realm expert appeared, he could probably walk unchallenged!
At this thought, Ye Xuan grinned. Actually, having stronger enemies wasn’t such a bad thing! The stronger the enemy, the more motivated he’d be!
Life needed a bit of challenge to be interesting!
The Zhou Clan?
Bring it on!
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Miss Liang Ren, let’s keep training! Next, I want to train in reversing time!”
Liang Ren frowned. “Reversing time?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly.
In truth, he’d long wanted to train in reversing time—using the Qingxuan Sword to draw out the reverse-time force within the small pagoda!
Normally, a Mysterious Insight Realm expert could only reverse time by about one breath. But the time within the pagoda was different, completely opposite to the Realm of Daytime.
Imagine a strike that reverses ten years…
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan’s pupils contracted!
Slaying the future!
Damn it!
Was his father’s future-slaying strike achieved by using this reverse-time method?
If he could truly draw out the pagoda’s reverse-time force, wouldn’t that mean he could slay the future with one strike?
It was profound!
But Ye Xuan was thrilled, because his intuition told him it was possible!
Reverse time!
Ye Xuan said, “Small Pagoda, I might need your cooperation!”
The pagoda replied gravely, “How do I cooperate?”
Ye Xuan said, “I need the force of time’s passage within the pagoda!”
The pagoda said, “Little Master, I don’t even know what that power is. It’s something Sister Destiny left in here. As far as I know, that power seems limitless for now.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I want to try. If you sense anything, let me know!”
The pagoda said, “Alright!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword hovered above it. In the next moment, he slowly closed his eyes, and the small pagoda within him began to tremble faintly.
In the distance, Liang Ren watched Ye Xuan, her brows furrowed.
This guy was going to reverse time?
Reversing time—she could do it too, but only for about ten breaths. Against weaker opponents, it was useful, rendering them defenceless with a time reversal. But against peers, it was far too ineffective!
Because everyone could reverse time, and it consumed a lot of energy!
Just then, the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand suddenly trembled. In the next moment, mysterious forces surged into the sword, and the surrounding starlight began to twist…
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly swung his sword at Liang Ren!
Liang Ren frowned, about to defend, but in the next moment, she realised she was completely unharmed!
What was going on?
A quarter of an hour later, Liang Ren’s pupils contracted as a strand of her hair silently fell by her ear.
Slaying the future!
What was slaying the future?
This strike didn’t kill the present you but the future you!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly roared, “I’m invincible! Dad, come out here—I’m going to beat you to death!”
The small pagoda: “…”
