As the Sword of the Path slowly descended, the entire starry sky of the middle world instantly boiled. The next moment, the middle world began to burn, gradually turning illusory.
Everyone was horrified!
This was about to obliterate the entire middle world!
Seeing this, Mu Xian and the others’ faces changed drastically, their eyes filled with terror.
How strong was the aura of this sword?
Despair!
At this moment, they felt utter despair!
Facing this sword, they couldn’t even muster the thought of resistance!
In its presence, they felt like ants—no, less than ants!
Not far from the plain-skirted woman, Ji Xuan stared at her, a trace of solemnity in his eyes for the first time. “Your Excellency…”
Before he could finish, a sword light pierced his throat, cutting his words short.
Ji Xuan’s pupils shrank, his body trembling as if struck by lightning, his mind blank!
*How is this possible?*
That was his only thought!
He had been instantly killed?
Though he was just a wisp of a clone, he was in the Boundless Realm. Even as a clone, he was a god-like existence in a place like this!
How could he be instantly killed?
At that moment, his mind was in chaos!
Just then, the Spirit Dragon, which had previously fled, reappeared. Looking at Tianming holding Ye Xuan, it trembled, “Big shot… if this sword falls, the middle world will be gone!”
Tianming glanced at the Spirit Dragon, her expression calm!
That single glance made the Spirit Dragon’s soul quiver. It hurriedly said, “I get it… I get it… I’m leaving right now… do as you please, big shot…”
With that, it turned and vanished at the horizon!
*Damn it!*
The middle world could fend for itself!
Survival was the priority!
Tianming looked at Ye Xuan in her arms. At that moment, his soul had fully recovered, and so had his body!
Yang Nianxue, standing nearby, was dumbfounded!
*What kind of move was this?*
Ye Xuan opened his eyes. Seeing Tianming, he paused, then gave a bitter smile. “Qing’er… I’m relying on my backer again!”
Qing’er gently caressed his cheek, her voice soft. “I don’t mind!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Yang Nianxue nudged Ye Xuan’s hand, gesturing toward the starry sky.
Ye Xuan looked up. The starry sky was burning!
Qing’er was about to destroy the entire middle universe!
Ye Xuan grabbed her hand and said softly, “Let it go. I was outmatched and got beaten—it’s my fault. No need to drag the other beings of this universe into it!”
Tianming nodded slightly. “Whatever you say, brother!”
With that, the Sword of the Path trembled and transformed into a sword light, landing beside her.
As the sword vanished, every powerhouse and being in the middle world breathed a sigh of relief…
They’d nearly lost the entire middle world!
Yang Nianxue glanced at Tianming, her expression odd!
She’d barely seen Tianming, only heard legends of her—a figure who once thrashed their father!
Wasn’t she supposed to be cold and aloof?
Yet, Tianming seemed quite reasonable now!
Suddenly, Tianming looked at Ji Xuan in the distance. He stared back, sneering, “Bullying me because my true body isn’t here?”
True body!
Still alive!
At his words, Mu Xian and Lan Shan’s hopes reignited.
Ji Xuan was still alive!
A supreme powerhouse beyond Eternal Immortality!
At that moment, the Sword of the Path beside Tianming shot into Ji Xuan’s brow. He burst into laughter. “Attacking my clone? What skill is that? If you’re so capable, wait for my true body to arrive, I…”
He stopped, sensing something, his pupils shrinking.
In the distant endless starry sky, within a city, a sword suddenly descended. As it fell, the entire suspended city began to turn illusory!
In the city, countless titans looked up, their eyes filled with terror.
Who was wielding this sword?
Was this meant to obliterate the Boundless City?
A furious roar echoed from the depths of the starry sky. “How dare you! Who twists space-time to destroy the Boundless City? Do you want to die… Holy crap… Big shot Tianming, it’s… it’s you… Time Master pays respects to Big shot Tianming! I’m kowtowing!”
A kowtowing sound echoed from the starry depths.
Only Tianming could hear his voice, but she ignored him. The sword continued its descent!
Then, another roar erupted from the city. “A mere sword cultivator, laughable, laughable! To think you can kill me through my clone? Absurd, ridiculous…”
As the voice fell, a middle-aged man shot into the sky, throwing a punch at the Sword of the Path.
This was Ji Xuan’s true body!
As his fist struck, the Sword of the Path pierced his brow!
No flair, no fuss!
Instant kill!
Just that simple, direct!
An unreasonable instant kill!
In midair, Ji Xuan was stunned!
Instantly killed?
His true body, instantly killed?
How was this possible?
Was he dreaming?
Soon, he realized it wasn’t a dream—his body was disintegrating, being erased!
In that moment, Ji Xuan was horrified, roaring, “Woman, do you know who my master is? My master is the Left Protector of the Time Tribunal, the right-hand man of the Time Master. Do you know who the Time Master is…”
“Holy crap!”
A shocked voice rang out from the starry sky!
It was the Time Master!
He suddenly appeared before Ji Xuan. Seeing him, Ji Xuan was stunned, then ecstatic, about to speak. But the Time Master’s legs gave out, and he knelt, trembling. “Big shot Tianming… I swear on the Way of Time, I… I don’t know this guy… My Time Tribunal has nothing to do with him… I…”
At that moment, the Time Master was crying!
Real tears!
He was terrified to the core!
Those who hadn’t faced Tianming couldn’t fathom her terror!
Once, he’d thought himself invincible, until he met Tianming!
That day, he lost!
One sword!
He, the Time Master, couldn’t even withstand one sword!
If he hadn’t knelt quickly, the Time Master would no longer exist!
Now, he hadn’t expected someone from his Time Tribunal to offend Tianming—and to drag him into it!
*Heavens!*
This was going to get him killed!
Seeing the Time Master kneel, trembling, Ji Xuan’s mind went blank!
The Time Master was a god-like figure in their eyes!
Yet now, this god was kneeling, shaking!
*My god!*
*Who is that woman?*
At that moment, Ji Xuan’s face was ashen!
Then, the Sword of the Path slowly emerged from Ji Xuan’s body, turning toward the Time Master!
He was horrified, kowtowing frantically. “Big shot Tianming, I’m sworn brothers with Young Master Ye! Sworn brothers!”
Young Master Ye!
The Sword of the Path trembled, then vanished.
Seeing this, the Time Master’s body went limp, nearly collapsing, his heart filled with gratitude.
Young Master Ye!
Tianming really gave Young Master Ye face!
Thankfully, he’d built that connection, or he’d be done for!
As if realizing something, the Time Master turned to Ji Xuan, who was about to vanish completely, and roared, “I curse your eighteen generations of ancestors!”
With that, he slapped out.
Boom!
Ji Xuan was erased!
Ji Xuan: “…”
…
In the middle world.
Before Tianming, Ji Xuan’s clone was fading. He stared at her, eyes full of confusion. “Who are you?!”
He didn’t know what had happened to his true body, but he knew it was gone!
His clone was now rootless. Even if Tianming didn’t act, he’d soon vanish.
Tianming didn’t answer. She turned to Mu Xian and Lan Shan, whose faces changed instantly. Lan Shan glared at her. “Let’s fight her to the death!”
Mu Xian nodded. “Alright!”
Lan Shan’s expression turned savage. “Woman, I don’t believe you’re that strong!”
With that, he charged at Tianming!
And he chose to burn his soul and body!
If Ye Xuan could burn, so could he!
They were all human—who was afraid of whom?
To his credit, Lan Shan had some skill. After burning his soul and body, his aura reached a terrifying level. Though not as strong as Ye Xuan or Dao Xuan Yi, it was still formidable!
In the distance, Tianming looked at Mu Xian, her expression calm.
When Lan Shan was dozens of feet from her, a sword pierced his brow!
Boom!
His body trembled violently, then turned illusory!
Instant kill!
No chance to fight back!
He didn’t even see Tianming move!
Lan Shan looked at Tianming, dazed. “Am I really this weak…?”
The field was silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
*This weak?*
This was a Supreme!
In the shadows, Yu Xian, the branch president of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, was pale.
At that moment, he understood why the Pavilion Master had given Ye Xuan the Mysterious Heaven Token!
His own perspective had been too narrow!
Then, Lan Shan turned to Mu Xian. “Why didn’t you act?”
Mu Xian trembled. “Would it have mattered?”
Lan Shan gave a bitter smile. “No!”
With that, he vanished completely!
Erased!
Mu Xian looked at Tianming. He hesitated, then said, “If I surrender, will you spare me?”
As his words fell, a sword pierced his brow, erasing him!
Everyone: “…”
In the distant starry depths, the Spirit Dragon trembled with fear. “Good thing I got out fast… People laugh at my cowardice, but I laugh at their stupidity…”
With that, it vanished into the endless starry sky.
Finally, Tianming turned to Dao Xuan Yi, who stared back, her expression calm, without a trace of fear!
Tianming looked at her. “Did you call him?”
Dao Xuan Yi countered, “Who are you?”
Rip!
A sword pierced her brow, and her body froze, her soul turning illusory.
Tianming looked at her. “I told you to answer, not to ask!”
