Five hundred million years!
Hearing Er Ya’s words, Ye Xuan nearly fainted!
Tian Ming looked at Er Ya but said nothing.
Er Ya hesitated, then said, “You… all this fighting and killing isn’t good, Tian Ming. Don’t be so hot-tempered. Look at me—I’ve already calmed my temper a lot.”
Xiao Bai looked at Er Ya, her eyes blinking rapidly…
Tian Ming glanced at Er Ya, opening her palm. Not far behind Er Ya, two broken horns floated in the air and suddenly flew into Tian Ming’s hand.
Tian Ming directly inserted the two broken horns into the top of the small pagoda.
*Boom!*
The small pagoda trembled violently, and an extremely terrifying force surged out from within!
A horned pagoda!
Tian Ming opened her palm, and the pagoda returned to Ye Xuan’s side.
Tian Ming looked at Ye Xuan and said softly, “Brother, I’m going to handle some matters. Have fun! If one day you don’t want to keep striving, just say the word, and I’ll protect you for life!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Tian Ming gave Ye Xuan one last look before turning to leave. Ye Xuan hurriedly called out, “Qing’er, maybe next time, don’t hit Er Ya!”
He felt it was necessary to plead for Er Ya; otherwise, she was just too pitiful!
Tian Ming nodded slightly. “Alright.”
With that, the scene suddenly vanished.
In the instant the scene disappeared, Ye Xuan noticed Qing’er abruptly darting off into the distance, as if in a hurry.
Ye Xuan frowned. Had Qing’er encountered something?
At that moment, the small pagoda suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Little Master, I’m awesome now!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Just then, Dongli Nan walked up to Ye Xuan. She glanced at the dazed little demon lying on the ground. “How do we deal with her?”
Ye Xuan looked at the bewildered little demon. “From her downward, all demon beasts in the Demon Realm—exterminate them all!”
*Exterminate them all!*
As his voice fell, Dongli Nan gently waved her right hand, and the sixteen God Slayers behind her charged forward.
The next moment, the air was filled with piercing screams.
At that moment, the little demon suddenly sat up, glaring at Ye Xuan. “You…”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword shot out, piercing the little demon’s forehead.
*Boom!*
The little demon’s body shuddered violently, her soul rapidly dissipating.
Ye Xuan stared at her. “I originally planned to spare you for Er Ya’s sake, but it seems you still haven’t faced reality. In that case, go join your demon beasts!”
As his voice fell—
*Boom!*
The Qingxuan Sword completely absorbed the little demon’s soul!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword swept through the area, frantically absorbing the souls of the demon beasts.
These demon beast souls were a great supplement—why waste them?
Soon, all the demon beast souls in the area were fully absorbed.
And the entire Demon Sect’s demon beasts were completely eradicated.
Nearby, Nan Shi and the other Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts stood in silence.
The mighty Demon Sect had been annihilated just like that!
They couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. In this world, there was no “strongest”—only “stronger.”
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion needed to take this as a warning!
At that moment, Dongli Nan suddenly turned to Nan Shi. “You’re from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion?”
Nan Shi smiled slightly. “Indeed.”
Dongli Nan nodded. “From this day forward, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion is an ally of my Xuan Realm. As long as my Yang family stands, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion will never fall!”
The Yang family!
Nan Shi blinked. “The Yang family…”
The small pagoda suddenly chimed in, “Pretty sister, hurry and thank the Mistress! Don’t you know, with her word, no one will ever dare bully the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!”
Nan Shi hesitated, then gave a slight bow. “Thank you!”
Truthfully, she was a bit skeptical.
The Yang family?
She’d never heard of them.
Dongli Nan nodded slightly and turned to Ye Xuan. “Are you returning to the Xuan Realm with them?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “I need to go back to Qingzhou first.”
It had been a long time since he’d returned to Qingzhou. It was time to visit.
Dongli Nan thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright.”
With that, she turned to the white-robed woman, Yang Yan, in the distance. Yang Yan lowered her head slightly, saying nothing.
Dongli Nan’s gaze grew cold. After a moment, she said, “You all go back!”
*Go back!*
The Four Gods gave a slight bow and turned to leave.
The sixteen God Slayers followed suit.
Yang Yan glanced at Dongli Nan, then turned and left.
Dongli Nan looked at Ye Xuan and said softly, “Live well. Your mother will always be your support.”
As she spoke, her body gradually became illusory.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “Wait for me to come find you!”
Dongli Nan smiled. “Good.”
With that, she opened her palm, and a wisp of white light entered Ye Xuan’s forehead before she vanished completely.
Ye Xuan fell silent. That wisp of light was the location of the Xuan Realm!
At that moment, Nan Shi walked up to Ye Xuan and smiled. “Young Master Ye, we’re leaving too!”
Ye Xuan looked at Nan Shi. “Miss Nan Shi, thank you!”
Nan Shi blinked. “Will we come find you in the Xuan Realm later?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “You can!”
With that, he opened his palm, and a wisp of white light entered Nan Shi’s forehead.
Nan Shi laughed. “Young Master Ye, see you in the Xuan Realm!”
With that, she prepared to leave with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts.
But then, Ye Xuan suddenly called out, “Miss Nan Shi!”
Nan Shi turned to look at Ye Xuan. He smiled and said, “The Demon Sect is gone. All its wealth now belongs to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!”
Nan Shi froze. She hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to do this. She’d wanted to ask for a share earlier but hadn’t dared.
After a moment’s thought, Nan Shi said, “Let’s split it evenly.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Alright!”
Nan Shi immediately ordered, “Go collect it!”
At her command, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts rushed to gather the demon beasts’ treasures.
Nan Shi looked at Ye Xuan and laughed. “Young Master Ye, you’re so generous!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “The Immortal Treasure Pavilion sacrificed so much for me this time. This is what you deserve! Also, Miss Nan Shi, don’t forget to come find me in the Xuan Realm!”
Nan Shi laughed heartily. “Absolutely!”
She was definitely going to find Ye Xuan. The Xuan Realm was no small place. If the Immortal Treasure Pavilion could expand there, wouldn’t that be amazing?
At that moment, the High Immortal Envoy approached Nan Shi and handed her a storage ring. Nan Shi flicked her finger, and the ring flew to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, keep it safe! We’ll meet again!”
With that, she turned and led the Immortal Treasure Pavilion experts away.
Ye Xuan stood in place, silent for a moment, before putting away the storage ring and turning to leave.
…
Elsewhere, in a starry expanse, Yang Yan stopped. Before her stood the sixteen God Slayers.
Yang Yan smiled faintly. “Come on, make your move.”
The leader of the God Slayers spoke in a hoarse voice. “The Mistress asked me to ask you one thing: did you ever instruct the Young Commander to harm the Young Master?”
Yang Yan shook her head.
The leader of the God Slayers was silent for a moment before turning with the other fifteen and leaving.
Yang Yan frowned. “You’re not going to kill me?”
From a distance, the leader said, “The Mistress said not to kill you. But from this moment, you have no connection to her. You are forever barred from returning to the Xuan Realm. Also, the Mistress said, for the sake of past ties, she offers you one final piece of advice: never play clever tricks again!”
With that, he led the remaining fifteen God Slayers and vanished at the edge of the horizon.
Yang Yan stood in silence for a long time before turning and leaving.
…
Elsewhere, Ye Xuan didn’t return to Qingzhou. Instead, he found a place to sit cross-legged.
He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. The sword had undergone a breakthrough!
Earlier, it had absorbed the souls of the entire Demon Sect’s powerhouses, including the little demon’s soul.
Ye Xuan examined the Qingxuan Sword closely. He noticed it had undergone a qualitative change. A mysterious power flowed along the blade!
*The power of demon beasts!*
This was what the Qingxuan Sword gained from absorbing those demon beast powerhouses!
Ye Xuan suddenly swung the Qingxuan Sword lightly. With that swing, the surrounding space trembled violently before instantly disintegrating.
*One slash to sever fate!*
The speed of time’s passage was now dozens of times faster than before!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a smile. This battle hadn’t been a disaster for him—it was a boon!
With his current strength, killing a Sixth Realm expert would be effortless!
Ye Xuan put away the Qingxuan Sword and opened his palm. The small pagoda appeared in his hand. Looking at it, he smiled. “Little Pagoda, what did Qing’er change in you?”
The pagoda was silent for a moment before saying, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Don’t know? How can you not know?”
The pagoda sounded helpless. “I really don’t know!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then asked, “Those horns on your top… are they Er Ya’s?”
The pagoda replied, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan said, “Can I test them?”
The pagoda hesitated. “Test how?”
Ye Xuan suddenly swung his sword at the horns.
*Boom!*
The pagoda shuddered violently, and Ye Xuan was sent flying thousands of feet away. As he stopped, his arm split open, blood spurting out!
Stunned, Ye Xuan stared at the pagoda in disbelief. “Bloody hell, Little Pagoda, those horns… they’re incredible!”
The pagoda laughed heartily. “I know what got stronger!”
Ye Xuan asked, “What?”
The pagoda said, “I got harder!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The pagoda continued, “Little Master, I realised that Sister Tian Ming reshaped my body. Now I’m incredibly tough—even Little Soul would struggle to harm me! And these horns—Er Ya’s horns—are insanely powerful! In a fight, who could withstand a single ram from me?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Truth be told, even he was a bit wary of the pagoda’s ram.
The pagoda added, “Little Master, from now on, let me handle the fights! Let me! I, Little Pagoda, am finally going to be invincible! Haha…”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Maybe tone it down a bit?”
The pagoda laughed loudly. “Tone it down? Absolutely not! Little Master, let me tell you, I was born too late! If I’d come earlier, what would the Three Swords matter? If heaven hadn’t birthed me, Little Pagoda, the eternal sword path would be as dark as night…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
