Rip!
Boom!
The starry sky suddenly burst into flames!
This time, both unleashed their full power!
Dao Xuan Yi locked eyes with the approaching Ye Xuan, her right fist clenching tightly before swinging out. “Boundless Annihilation!”
Boom!
As the punch landed, a terrifying fist aura erupted from her hand, causing the entire middle world to tremble.
The might of this punch could destroy the entire middle world!
Yet, Dao Xuan Yi didn’t target the middle world. She focused all her power into a single point, aimed at Ye Xuan.
Facing this terrifying punch, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a savage grin. He drew his sword and slashed.
Draw Sword, Decide Life and Death!
A sword technique he hadn’t used in ages!
In that instant, Ye Xuan stacked his power frantically!
Waves of terrifying energy erupted before him like a volcanic explosion.
When that fist collided with Ye Xuan’s countless stacked sword lights—
Boom!
A deafening explosion reverberated through the middle world, chilling countless hearts. People looked up at the region, eyes filled with horror.
Mu Xian and Lan Shan had long since retreated frantically, keeping their distance from Ye Xuan and Dao Xuan Yi!
In the arena, as the terrifying force erupted, Ye Xuan and Dao Xuan Yi were both sent flying. As Ye Xuan flew back, his body began to annihilate bit by bit. But this time, the annihilation was slower, and his body was repairing itself simultaneously!
This time, his self-healing outpaced the annihilation, preserving his body!
Yet, his face was as pale as paper, and he was covered in blood!
The punch had severely wounded him!
In the distance, Dao Xuan Yi came to a stop. Her body was also annihilating, her soul rapidly dissipating!
But, like Ye Xuan, the universe was constantly repairing her body and soul!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan looked up at Dao Xuan Yi, a ferocious grin on his lips. The next moment, he vanished!
Rip!
A sword light tore through the field!
In the distance, Dao Xuan Yi looked up at the approaching sword light, her face expressionless!
As the sword light reached her, she clapped her hands together, forming an invisible barrier before her.
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s sword struck the barrier, which trembled and cracked but didn’t shatter!
From afar, Ye Xuan was about to strike again when Dao Xuan Yi vanished. Ye Xuan snapped his head up, and a blur rushed toward him!
Expressionless, Ye Xuan summoned countless flying swords to slash out around him.
They clashed head-on again!
Boom!
Countless sword lights shattered, and Dao Xuan Yi suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan’s throat. Just as she was about to crush it, a sword pressed against her own throat!
Inches apart, they locked eyes. The next moment, Dao Xuan Yi squeezed!
Crack!
Ye Xuan’s throat shattered, his soul forcibly expelled from his body. At the same moment, his sword pierced Dao Xuan Yi’s throat and slashed!
Rip!
Her throat split open, forcing her to abandon her body and escape as a soul.
Now, both were in soul form!
As a soul, Ye Xuan vanished again…
Dao Xuan Yi snapped her head up, her soul transforming into countless afterimages, shooting forward!
Boom!
Another explosion echoed through the heavens, and both souls were sent flying back!
As Ye Xuan retreated, he summoned countless flying swords to slash at Dao Xuan Yi. In an instant, the sky was filled with sword energy and light.
In the distance, Dao Xuan Yi’s lips curved slightly, a savage glint in her eyes. She reached forward, clenching her fist. Instantly, the space-time before her twisted into a massive black vortex. When Ye Xuan’s sword lights entered, they warped, shattered, and annihilated. The next moment, she charged forward, slamming an elbow toward Ye Xuan.
The strike tore the heavens apart like a spiderweb, utterly terrifying!
Facing this fearsome elbow, Ye Xuan grinned savagely. Transforming into a sword, he slashed forward.
Head-on!
At this point, it was a test of who was tougher!
Boom!
A wave of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was knocked back. Dao Xuan Yi pressed her advantage, throwing another punch. But Ye Xuan vanished, reappearing tens of thousands of feet away. Stopping, he opened his palm, a sword materializing. His eyes closed, the sword trembling violently. Then, his left hand opened. “Swords, come!”
As his voice fell, the starry sky quaked. Countless swords pierced through space-time, gathering above Ye Xuan—over a million blades!
In that moment, a terrifying sword momentum enveloped the entire middle world!
In the starry sky, Mu Xian and Lan Shan’s faces grew grave.
They suddenly realized they might have underestimated Ye Xuan!
This guy’s swordsmanship had some serious skill!
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan ran his fingers along his sword. His eyes turned blood-red, and his soul began to burn again, as did his bloodline.
Boom!
Boom!
As his bloodline ignited, his sword turned blood-red, and the million swords behind him followed suit!
Below, Mu Xian glared at Ye Xuan, furious. “Damn it! Why does he burn his soul like it’s a game? Burn when he wants, stop when he wants!”
Lan Shan stared at Ye Xuan, his face grim.
How many times had Ye Xuan burned his soul?
He’d lost count!
This guy burned his soul, body, and bloodline every time he fought!
And the worst part? He didn’t die! That was just absurd!
In truth, Ye Xuan’s ability to do this stemmed from the Qingxuan Sword. After absorbing it, his soul reached the Immortal Limit, and not just any limit! Though the sword was gone, its unique properties—like soul suppression—remained, allowing Ye Xuan to burn his soul repeatedly without total annihilation.
The Qingxuan Sword had granted him the ability to burn his soul and survive!
Opposite him, Dao Xuan Yi’s face was expressionless. The Boundless Divine Ruler appeared in her hand. She no longer underestimated Ye Xuan!
She didn’t dare!
At this point, Ye Xuan was growing stronger with every moment. Though her realm was a tier above his, his combat strength was no weaker than hers, which she found utterly absurd!
Suddenly, a massive white dragon appeared in the field—the leader of the thirty-six spiritual veins, the Spirit Dragon!
The Spirit Dragon looked at Ye Xuan and Dao Xuan Yi, its face dark. “Are you trying to shatter the middle world?”
Ye Xuan turned to the Spirit Dragon, his gaze like a sea of blood. “Get lost!”
The Spirit Dragon glared at him. “Fine, I’m gone!”
With that, it turned into a white light and vanished at the horizon.
Everyone: “…”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
*What the hell was that?*
Nearby, Mu Xian said gravely, “That Spirit Dragon was scared!”
Lan Shan remained silent.
Scared?
They were scared too!
If they had to face Ye Xuan alone, they’d turn and flee without hesitation.
The current Ye Xuan was beyond their ability to resist!
In the distance, Ye Xuan looked at Dao Xuan Yi. Without a word, he vanished.
Rip!
A blood-red sword light tore through the field!
Simultaneously, the million swords behind him slashed through the starry sky toward Dao Xuan Yi!
In that moment, the powerhouses of the middle world were horrified!
Ye Xuan’s sword posed a severe threat to the middle world.
In the distance, Dao Xuan Yi closed her eyes, holding the Boundless Divine Ruler upright before her brow. Her left fingers rested on the ruler’s tip, sliding down slowly.
The next moment, her eyes snapped open, and she swung the ruler. “Boundless!”
With that swing, a terrifying force swept out.
What was Boundless?
Infinite, without end!
The Boundless Divine Ruler, crafted by the ancestor of the Silent Mysterious Path, contained infinite power!
They clashed head-on again!
Boom!
Instantly, countless sword lights annihilated, and the space-time around Dao Xuan Yi began to collapse wildly. Ye Xuan was sent flying, but the next moment, he charged back toward her!
Dao Xuan Yi ignored the countless sword lights tearing around her. She stomped her right foot, vanished, and swung her ruler at Ye Xuan’s head.
Neither retreated!
A fight to mutual destruction!
At that moment, a small tower appeared beside Ye Xuan’s head, blocking Dao Xuan Yi’s strike. At the same time, Ye Xuan’s right hand transformed into a sword and pierced her soul!
Boom!
Bang!
The small tower let out a piercing wail, sent flying tens of thousands of feet by the ruler. But it didn’t break, having blocked the strike with Er Ya’s horn!
Ye Xuan glared at Dao Xuan Yi, snarling, “Woman, it’s over!”
With that, he gripped harder, ready to shatter her soul. But at that moment, the Boundless Divine Ruler in her hand erupted with a terrifying aura!
Boom!
Ye Xuan, inches away, was blasted back over a hundred thousand feet. As he stopped, his soul began to turn transparent!
In the field, everyone looked at the Boundless Divine Ruler. A soul slowly emerged from it.
It was a middle-aged man!
Everyone froze.
Who was this?
The man looked at the weakened Dao Xuan Yi and smiled faintly. “Very impressive! I never imagined that after tens of thousands of years, the Silent Mysterious Path would produce a genius like you. Haha…”
Nearby, Mu Xian suddenly exclaimed, “He’s Ji Xuan, the ancestor of the Silent Mysterious Path! Holy crap… is he a powerhouse beyond Eternal Immortality?”
Beyond Eternal Immortality?
At those words, Lan Shan and the others froze in place!
Dao Xuan Yi looked at Ji Xuan and said softly, “Ancestor!”
Ji Xuan smiled. “Heal yourself first!”
With that, he turned to Ye Xuan in the distance. Yang Nianxue had appeared beside him, holding his frail soul, trembling. “Little brother…”
Ye Xuan’s soul was nearly transparent. He grasped Yang Nianxue’s hand weakly and whispered, “Sis, this time… I really can’t hold on…”
Yang Nianxue held him tightly, her voice shaking. “It’s enough! It’s enough! You’ve done more than enough!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his face pale. He turned to the depths of the starry sky, a figure in a plain skirt appearing in his mind…
Qing’er!
To die like this, he still had regrets!
But life and death were beyond his control!
Ye Xuan’s eyes slowly closed, his grip on Yang Nianxue’s hand softening. “Sis… tell Dad I’m sorry… I let him down…”
As his voice fell, his breath faded to a thread, nearly gone.
At that moment, the space-time before Ye Xuan cracked open, and a woman stepped out slowly.
She wore a plain skirt!
Her true form!
The plain-skirted woman walked to Ye Xuan, gently taking him from Yang Nianxue’s arms. She caressed his cheek, her eyes filled with tender warmth. But gradually, that warmth turned to icy cold. “Clear the field!”
With her words, a sword slowly descended from the middle world’s starry sky!
In an instant, the entire middle world began to burn!
The Sword of the Path!
Once, it acted for the heavens.
Now, it acted for her brother!
