Pride!
Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless. He had always despised those who, puffed up by their noble origins, acted superior to everyone else.
Did coming from the Ancient Cosmos make her inherently better?
Damn it!
To think this woman was educated—had all her studies gone to waste? Or was she, like him, just using books as a prop to show off?
In the distance, Second Immortal looked at Ye Xuan. “Ten breaths are up!”
As her voice fell, she took a step forward. The space above Ye Xuan’s head trembled violently, and a purple footprint suddenly burst through the air, plummeting straight down.
As the footprint descended, Ye Xuan felt as if a mountain were crushing him, his organs threatening to burst.
Ye Xuan lightly flicked his thumb.
*Buzz!*
A sword hum rang out as the Qingxuan Sword slashed upward.
The moment the Qingxuan Sword flew out, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
**Slay Lifespan!**
In that instant, the flow of time in the entire Bluestone Plaza accelerated countless times! The footprint above his head vanished silently.
As Ye Xuan unleashed this sword, he instantly pulled Zhou Xing into the small tower. As for Di Ming, he turned into a withered, dying old man in a flash.
At this moment, Di Ming was emaciated, his hair white, his eyes lifeless, completely devoid of vitality!
A Fate Mysterious Realm expert could resist the power of time’s passage, but Ye Xuan’s sword wasn’t just the power of passage—it combined the reverse-time power of **Slay Future**, wielded through the Qingxuan Sword!
The two forces, one forward and one backward, found a perfect balance, rendering Fate Mysterious Realm experts powerless against it!
On the other side, as Ye Xuan unleashed **Slay Lifespan**, Second Immortal’s expression shifted. She spread her right hand, and a purple light enveloped her completely, shielding her from Ye Xuan’s time passage. However, the man beside her wasn’t so fortunate, turning into a pile of dry bones.
Second Immortal stared coldly at Ye Xuan. “The power of Daytime Space-Time Passage! And an unknown reverse-time force…”
Ye Xuan turned to Di Ming, who was on the verge of death, and waved his right hand. A mysterious force enveloped Di Ming, restoring him to normal in an instant!
Reborn!
After recovering, Di Ming was dazed for a moment before bowing deeply to Ye Xuan, his voice trembling. “Thank you, Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then turned to Second Immortal, eyeing her curiously. “What’s that purple light of yours?”
Second Immortal said coolly, “A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. You don’t even recognize the Ziwei Divine Light. How pathetic!”
Ye Xuan fixed his gaze on her. “Can’t you stop acting so high and mighty?”
Second Immortal sneered. “You think I’m insulting you by wanting to take you as a servant? How laughable! Do you know how many in the Ancient Cosmos beg to join my Second Clan? Yet you see this life-changing opportunity as an insult. Truly ridiculous.”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a chuckle. “Looks like we have nothing to talk about!”
As his words fell, the Qingxuan Sword flew out again!
This sword slashed directly at the purple light.
*Boom!*
The purple light trembled violently, then cracked.
Seeing this, Second Immortal’s pupils shrank. “You… what kind of sword is that? It can damage my Ziwei Divine Light!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “I thought people from the Ancient Cosmos were supposed to be impressive, but you don’t even recognize my Qingxuan Sword. How pathetic!”
Second Immortal glared at Ye Xuan. “You’ll pay a heavy price for provoking me!”
Ye Xuan wasted no words, slashing again.
*Boom!*
This sword shattered the Ziwei Divine Light completely!
Almost simultaneously, Second Immortal vanished like a phantom. In the next moment, Ye Xuan found himself in an unknown, mysterious starry sky.
Ye Xuan frowned, scanning his surroundings. Where was this?
Suddenly, the distant starry sky split open, and a purple light shot out, streaking toward him like a meteor!
Ziwei Divine Light?
Ye Xuan frowned, not overthinking it, and flicked his thumb.
*Buzz!*
The Qingxuan Sword flew out, slashing at the purple light.
*Boom!*
In an instant, the entire starfield ignited!
Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword blocked the divine light, but the powerful light wasn’t shattered. The sword and light locked in a stalemate!
Then, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. He looked up sharply. At the edge of the starry sky, Second Immortal appeared, looking down at him. She spread her right hand, and a gold-blue token appeared. “Stars of the heavens, heed my command—gather!”
As her voice fell, the entire galaxy trembled. Endless star power surged from countless realms, flooding the starry sky. Unable to bear the influx, the starfield began to collapse.
This galaxy couldn’t withstand so much star power!
Ye Xuan looked at Second Immortal in the distance, silent.
This woman was unhinged, but her strength was undeniable. She first used the Ziwei Divine Light to tie up his Qingxuan Sword, then unleashed this ultimate move. Clearly, she believed his power stemmed primarily from the Qingxuan Sword.
Her logic wasn’t wrong, but this star power…
Ye Xuan’s expression turned strange.
In the depths of the starry sky, Second Immortal glared down at Ye Xuan, her eyes ferocious. “Divine Star Technique!”
As her voice fell, she pointed at Ye Xuan. Instantly, the endless star power erupted, blasting toward him.
The gathered star power from countless realms—what a terrifying force!
In an instant, the entire galaxy turned pitch black, completely annihilated!
Below, Ye Xuan remained calm, neither dodging nor fleeing, letting the endless star power crash into him.
*Boom!*
In a flash, Ye Xuan turned into a small blue figure!
In the distance, Second Immortal’s pupils shrank. She saw that not only was Ye Xuan unharmed, but he was frantically absorbing the star power.
Second Immortal stared at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with disbelief. “This… how is this possible…”
Below, Ye Xuan greedily took a deep breath. He felt like he was about to explode!
The star power was simply too much!
Why could he absorb it?
Back in the Fifth-Dimensional Universe, Sister Nian had modified his physique. That physique had later become somewhat outdated, unable to handle such star power—his body would’ve collapsed.
But now, his body was the Time Body he had forged himself!
Let alone this amount of star power—ten times more, and he could still absorb it!
After absorbing the star power, Ye Xuan was exhilarated. The endless energy surged into his body, and his cultivation skyrocketed!
Too perfect!
Ye Xuan looked up at the Qingxuan Sword, spread his palm, and thrust it forward.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword trembled, shredding the Ziwei Divine Light and transforming into a crystal-blue sword light, slashing toward Second Immortal!
In the air, Second Immortal’s eyes flashed with ferocity. She formed hand seals, and a black token floated from her hands. “Divine Hex Token, emerge!”
As her voice fell, a massive Eight Trigrams Divine Diagram appeared before her. When the Qingxuan Sword struck, mysterious forces from the diagram formed black threads, instantly binding the sword. Simultaneously, four bolts of lightning shot out, transforming into four thunder chains that locked the Qingxuan Sword.
Within the diagram, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently.
Ye Xuan’s mind stirred, and the Qingxuan Sword shook, slashing downward in place!
**Slay Fate!**
With one strike, the Eight Trigrams Divine Diagram dissolved into nothingness!
The Qingxuan Sword surged toward Second Immortal again!
Seeing this, Second Immortal’s pupils shrank. She didn’t retreat. A blood-red token appeared in her hand. She pointed, and a drop of essence blood flew from her fingertip into the token. She roared, “With my blood, I bind the Immortal God!”
As her voice fell—
*Boom!*
A white light appeared before her. From it stepped a middle-aged man in a white robe, holding a staff with a lantern, his expression serene.
Seeing him, Ye Xuan’s face darkened. What was this? A summoning technique?
The middle-aged man raised his lantern staff and said softly, “Ghostly Fire as Day!”
As his voice fell, he pointed the staff at Ye Xuan.
*Boom!*
A flame shot from the lantern, and a fiery path, invisible to the naked eye, swept down from the heavens!
In an instant, the dark starry sky turned as bright as day, yet it felt as if one had plunged into the Ninth Nether.
Below, Ye Xuan’s expression grew grave. He spread his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He closed his eyes slowly.
Calm mind!
Focused spirit!
The next moment, Ye Xuan flicked his thumb.
*Buzz!*
With a sword hum, the Qingxuan Sword soared skyward!
**Sword Shatters the Firmament!**
This sword carried **Slay Fate**, unleashed in a state of calm mind and focused spirit!
The Qingxuan Sword tore through the fiery path, reaching the middle-aged man in an instant. He pointed his lantern staff lightly.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword was halted in place!
Below, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The opponent had blocked the passage power within the Qingxuan Sword!
Was **Slay Fate** ineffective against him?
In the depths of the starry sky, Second Immortal saw Ye Xuan’s shock and sneered. “This is an Immortal God, formless and bodiless, a soul entity. Having attained the rank of Immortal God, his soul is near eternal. Your **Slay Fate** sword is useless against him, understand? You utter fool!”
“Soul entity?” Ye Xuan blinked, then said, “So it’s a soul entity… Thanks for the heads-up!”
As his words fell, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, piercing through the lantern staff and plunging into the middle-aged man’s brow!
*Boom!*
In an instant, the man was completely absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
**One Sword Fixes the Soul!**
In the sky, Second Immortal froze, petrified. “This…”
As the Qingxuan Sword absorbed the Immortal God’s soul, its aura surged. At the same time, Xiao Hun’s voice rang out, “Young Master, I’m about to break through!”
Ye Xuan paused, then looked at Second Immortal. “So, you came to deliver warmth! Thanks!”
Second Immortal: “…”
