The woman was undeniably shocked.
She knew Ye Xuan wasn’t weak, but she hadn’t expected him to be *this* strong!
The old man before Ye Xuan was a peak Life Mysterious Realm expert.
Yet, in front of Ye Xuan, he had no power to resist?
She realized she had severely underestimated Ye Xuan’s strength.
Ye Xuan didn’t kill the old man, only destroying his physical body as a punishment.
Flexing a bit was enough—no need to take a life and make enemies.
Sheathing his sword, Ye Xuan prepared to leave when the woman spoke again. “Young Master Ye! We also have a grudge with the Buer Clan. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss, you just want to use me against the Buer Clan or something else, don’t you?”
The woman said gravely, “We can use each other!”
Mutual exploitation!
Ye Xuan laughed. “I don’t like playing these fancy games!”
With that, he turned and vanished at the horizon’s edge.
The woman watched him go, silent for a moment before saying, “We underestimated his strength!”
The old man, now just a soul, said grimly, “Could he be a Cosmos Heart?”
Cosmos Heart?
The woman frowned slightly. “That’s unlikely… he’s too young!”
Just then, as if noticing something, she looked up into the distance. “He’s heading toward the Buer Clan!”
The Buer Clan!
The old man’s expression changed. That guy was going straight to the Buer Clan?
…
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan arrived at the Buer Clan.
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “Young Master, you’re different now!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “How so?”
Little Tower said seriously, “Before, you were all talk. Now, you’re actually kind of badass!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Suddenly, an old man appeared not far from Ye Xuan, and countless powerful auras emerged around them.
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. “Did you kill Xian’er?”
Ye Xuan nodded, smiling. “Are you the Buer Clan’s patriarch?”
The old man glared. “No! You’re not yet worthy to meet the patriarch!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his head flew off!
No warning whatsoever!
Blood sprayed like a fountain!
The hidden Buer Clan experts were stunned.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Am I worthy to meet your patriarch now?”
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared before Ye Xuan.
Unfathomably deep!
The moment Ye Xuan saw him, that thought flashed through his mind, but his expression remained calm, even carrying a faint smile.
Cosmos Heart Realm!
This middle-aged man was none other than the Buer Clan’s patriarch, Buer Yan, a true Cosmos Heart Realm expert!
Buer Yan looked at Ye Xuan. “You’re fearless.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Weren’t you looking for me? Well, here I am!”
Buer Yan stared at Ye Xuan. “What gives you such confidence?”
Ye Xuan’s lips curled. “Guess.”
After a long silence, Buer Yan suddenly threw a punch at Ye Xuan from afar.
This punch embodied an entire universe!
As it landed, Ye Xuan felt the approach of a deadly aura.
His expression calm, Ye Xuan flicked his thumb, and the Qingxuan Sword flew out—not to attack, but to form a sword-shield in front of him.
*Boom!*
The punch struck the shield.
*Boom!*
The shield trembled violently, the sky boiling as immense force rippled outward, forcing countless nearby experts to retreat. Yet the sword-shield firmly blocked Buer Yan’s punch!
Buer Yan glanced at the shield, silent.
The shield then transformed into a sword-light, returning to Ye Xuan’s scabbard. Ye Xuan stepped forward, flicking his thumb again.
*Buzz!*
A sword cry rang out as a sword-light tore through the air!
One Sword to Sever Life!
This strike targeted not just Buer Yan but the entire Buer Clan!
The moment the sword moved, Buer Yan’s eyes narrowed. His right hand reached out, grasping at the Qingxuan Sword from afar.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword was enveloped by a mysterious force, trapping its endless time-eroding power!
Ye Xuan frowned in the distance. What was this force that could restrain his time-eroding power?
Suddenly, Buer Yan said, “Leave.”
Leave?
Ye Xuan looked at him. “Leave?”
Buer Yan nodded.
Ye Xuan laughed. “What, not going to kill me anymore?”
Buer Yan stared at him. “Go.”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, smiling. “I want to spar with you!”
A battle with a Cosmos Heart Realm expert!
His true purpose in coming to the Buer Clan was to fight a Cosmos Heart Realm opponent.
Life Mysterious Realm?
He had no interest in them anymore!
After a moment’s silence, Buer Yan said, “Another place?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Sure!”
Buer Yan opened his palm and swept it gently. The next moment, he and Ye Xuan appeared in an unknown starry expanse.
Ye Xuan glanced around, then looked at Buer Yan, smiling. “Please, enlighten me!”
Buer Yan nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing as he pinched his fingers forward.
*Boom!*
A sword-light appeared at his fingertips!
Slashing the Future!
The moment he caught it, another sword appeared silently behind his head, followed by several more!
Yet Ye Xuan hadn’t moved!
His swords had been unleashed earlier!
Buer Yan’s right hand pressed downward, transforming the space around him into a massive temporal shield!
The shield blocked all of Ye Xuan’s swords, but when the Qingxuan Sword struck, it shattered the shield, slashing straight at Buer Yan!
Buer Yan’s eyes narrowed. He clenched his right fist and punched.
One punch, one universe!
*Boom!*
The space before Buer Yan warped into a massive groove, and the Qingxuan Sword was halted by the punch!
Ye Xuan, watching from afar, fell silent.
How had a Cosmos Heart Realm expert blocked his Slash the Future?
Buer Yan spun his right hand forward.
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword was blasted away.
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the sword returned to him. The next moment, he leaped, appearing above Buer Yan, slashing down!
One Sword to Sever Life!
As the sword fell, the surrounding starry expanse began to disintegrate!
Buer Yan remained calm, raising his right arm to block.
*Boom!*
The sword struck his arm, forcing him back several zhang, but he blocked it, unaffected by Ye Xuan’s time-eroding power!
Even as the surrounding stars collapsed, Buer Yan stood unscathed!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. This sword wasn’t just time-eroding—it reversed time itself. Yet Buer Yan was immune!
In the distance, Buer Yan looked at Ye Xuan. “Below Cosmos Heart Realm, no one can withstand that sword!”
Ye Xuan paused, then asked, “How do you resist the time-eroding power?”
Buer Yan stared at him. “With your status and background, you can’t be unaware of the Power of Immortality!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Power of Immortality?”
Buer Yan nodded. “The Power of Immortality—eternal, indestructible, existing beyond time! Your time-eroding power is strong, but it cannot erode immortality!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I see. And how did you block my Slash the Future?”
After a moment, Buer Yan said, “With your current strength, that sword can strike me a quarter-hour from now. That’s enough time for me to sense danger. As long as I’m prepared, your sword can’t kill me.”
Ye Xuan stared at him. “Anything else?”
Buer Yan said, “I deduce your sword’s path.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Deduce my sword?”
Buer Yan nodded. “Both of your swords are powerful. Below Cosmos Heart Realm, you’re invincible. Even above it, you can hold your own. But thinking you can kill a Cosmos Heart Realm expert with just these two swords is a pipe dream!” He glanced at Ye Xuan, adding, “Cosmos Heart Realm isn’t as weak as you think!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Got it!”
Buer Yan glanced at the sword-shield before Ye Xuan. “That sword boosts your combat power significantly. Without it, you’d pose no threat to me!”
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “Then let’s try without it!”
With that, he stored the Qingxuan Sword in Little Tower!
Seeing this, Buer Yan stared at him. “Are you sure?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Let’s try again!”
His voice fell, and he opened his palm, summoning a new sword. He sheathed it, then slowly closed his eyes.
Calm mind, focused spirit!
His blood suddenly boiled, waves of bloodline power surging forth. In an instant, the space within tens of thousands of zhang around him turned into a sea of blood!
And it wasn’t over—his battle intent ignited!
*Boom!*
The starry expanse trembled!
Buer Yan’s brows furrowed in the distance.
Ye Xuan opened his eyes, whispering, “Heavens, aid me!”
*Boom!*
Countless worlds boiled, and immense forces and momentum surged from myriad realms. The entire starfield erupted, then collapsed.
Ye Xuan’s thumb flicked.
*Buzz!*
A sword cry echoed as a sword slashed forth.
Not Sever Life, nor Slash the Future!
Pure power!
The strike turned the starry expanse pitch black!
Buer Yan’s eyes narrowed. He stepped forward, punching.
Head-on!
*Boom!*
A deafening explosion roared through the collapsed starfield.
*Bang!*
Buer Yan was forced back thousands of zhang, his body cracking—but the cracks healed instantly.
He paused, then looked at Ye Xuan. “Without your bloodline power and the might of myriad realms, you’d pose no threat to me!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
