Ye Xuan returned to the Great Wilderness.
Inside Little Pagoda, Ye Xuan appeared before An Lanxiu. By now, An Lanxiu had fully recovered!
After all, Ye Xuan had no shortage of healing treasures, especially the invincible pills Yang Nianxue had left him.
Ye Xuan said softly, “You’re alright now?”
An Lanxiu nodded. “I’m fine!”
Ye Xuan’s tone grew serious. “Little An, where’s Sister Nian?”
Sister Nian!
An Lanxiu replied, “She left!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Left?”
An Lanxiu nodded slightly. “She said she’s going somewhere and will come find me after some time.”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Why did the Spirit Demon Clan target you?”
An Lanxiu shook her head. “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan’s expression darkened.
Clearly, the Spirit Demon Clan was just preying on whoever they could!
An Lanxiu looked at Ye Xuan. “Why are you here?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I came to find you and Sister Nian!”
An Lanxiu asked, “Have you been to the Middle World?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
An Lanxiu nodded slightly and fell silent.
Ye Xuan was about to speak when his brows furrowed. The next moment, he left Little Pagoda. As he emerged, a middle-aged man stood before him.
The man smiled faintly. “Are you Young Master Ye?”
Ye Xuan eyed the man. “And you are?”
The man chuckled. “The Preceptor of the Great Wilderness Hall!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Great Wilderness Hall?”
The Preceptor explained, “When the Spirit Demon Clan invaded years ago, all the forces of the Great Wilderness united to form the Great Wilderness Hall to fight them together!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Got it!”
The Preceptor looked at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, I’m here to invite you to join the Great Wilderness Hall.”
Ye Xuan was about to shake his head when the Preceptor added, “The Left Venerable of the Spirit Demon Realm has awakened. He’s rebuilt Demon City and declared he’s waiting for you to return and slaughter it!”
Rebuilt!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. “Really?”
The Preceptor nodded. “Indeed! Young Master Ye, you must be cautious. The Left Venerable won’t let you off. He…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan turned and walked away.
The Preceptor froze, then asked, “Young Master Ye, where are you going?”
Without looking back, Ye Xuan replied, “To slaughter the city!”
His voice fell, and he transformed into a streak of sword light, vanishing from the spot.
The Preceptor stood in silence, his eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.
…
Using the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Xuan returned to Demon City. When he arrived, the city had indeed been rebuilt!
The moment Ye Xuan appeared before Demon City, the Left Venerable materialized in front of him.
Clearly, the Left Venerable had been prepared!
The Left Venerable stared at Ye Xuan. “You’ve got guts!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the Spirit Demon Clan powerhouses behind the Left Venerable and smirked. “What, planning to gang up on me?”
The Left Venerable waved his hand, and the powerhouses retreated.
He looked at Ye Xuan. “I’ll fight you one-on-one. Use whatever external artifacts you want!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Good!”
The Left Venerable’s expression froze.
Damn it!
This guy didn’t even pretend to be polite?
His words were meant as a taunt, expecting Ye Xuan to say something like, “I disdain using external artifacts.” But he hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to just nod!
Without wasting words, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
Splat!
A blood-red sword light tore through the scene!
In the distance, the Left Venerable’s lips curled into a ferocious grin. He stepped forward and threw a punch. Golden light surged, and the heavens and earth were annihilated.
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was flung tens of thousands of feet away. As he stopped, the Left Venerable appeared above him, smashing down with a fist. “World-Destroying God Fist!”
Boom!
The punch turned the entire sky into a massive vortex!
This punch was apocalyptic!
Its power was utterly terrifying!
Below, Ye Xuan closed his eyes slowly. In his right hand, the Qingxuan Sword trembled, countless streams of time’s power flooding into his body.
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Ye Xuan!
This time, he didn’t elevate his realm—he only wielded the power of time!
Ye Xuan shot skyward, slashing with his sword!
Boom!
The sword struck the vortex, shattering it instantly. Countless sword lights scattered across the sky, tearing it into countless fragments!
Ye Xuan and the Left Venerable both retreated!
As he retreated, Ye Xuan held his sword vertically before his forehead and roared, “Swords, come!”
His voice fell, and the myriad realms trembled. The next moment, countless sword lights tore through space-time, arriving above the Spirit Demon Realm!
Millions of swords!
In the distance, the Left Venerable stared at Ye Xuan, his right hand slowly clenching as a terrifying power gathered in his palm.
Ye Xuan pointed his sword at the Left Venerable. “Slash!”
His voice fell, and millions of swords slashed down from the starry sky!
Splat…
In that instant, the sky above the Spirit Demon Realm was torn into millions of gashes. The dense sword energy poured down like a torrential storm toward the Left Venerable!
Millions of sword energies surged, and the entire Spirit Demon Realm shuddered!
Below, a ferocious glint flashed in the Left Venerable’s eyes. He stomped his right foot, soaring skyward, and threw a punch. “World-Splitting Strike!”
World-Splitting Strike!
The punch cracked the entire Spirit Demon Realm!
The entire realm split!
The moment the punch landed, countless sword lights were obliterated, crushed like dry weeds!
All sword lights vanished, but the Left Venerable’s expression changed. Unbeknownst to him, Ye Xuan had charged into Demon City. The next moment, a sword light erupted within the city, and in an instant, the entire city shattered!
City broken!
Seeing this, the Left Venerable’s face twisted with rage. “Die!”
His voice fell, and his right hand reached forward, clenching tightly. In the city, a patch of space-time exploded, and a figure was forced back—it was Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan wasn’t harmed, as his Qingxuan Sword had formed a shield before him.
The Left Venerable glared at Ye Xuan, his face ferocious. “Die!”
He charged forward, shattering space-time, and a terrifying force reached Ye Xuan in an instant!
A power capable of crushing everything!
With a thought, Ye Xuan’s sword shield transformed into a net. The Left Venerable’s punch slammed into it.
Boom!
The net caved in but didn’t break. As it returned to normal, the Left Venerable’s terrifying force was reflected back into his right hand.
Boom!
The Left Venerable was flung back tens of thousands of feet!
When he stopped, he was stunned!
Reflected?
That sword net had reflected his power?
His punch could shatter heavens and earth!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a slight smile.
It had been a spur-of-the-moment idea.
When forces collide, they create a greater force—force is mutual and can amplify!
He first thought of defense!
The Qingxuan Sword could form a shield to block force, which was fine. But why not make it a net?
Like in the mortal world: punch someone, and they’ll hurt, but you’ll hurt too. But punch cotton, and what happens?
In simple terms, overcome hardness with softness!
And if the net is elastic and tough enough, when you punch it, it rebounds!
The result proved him right!
As long as the Qingxuan Sword didn’t break, he was invincible—unless he was overwhelmed by a group attack!
In the distance, the Left Venerable stared at Ye Xuan. “What divine artifact is that!”
He was genuinely shocked. He knew the strength of his punch, yet this sword not only withstood it but reflected it!
Absurd!
Utterly absurd!
Ye Xuan summoned the Qingxuan Sword back to his hand and slashed to the right.
Splat!
A streak of sword light shot forth, tearing through the entire Demon City in an instant!
Ye Xuan looked at the grim-faced Left Venerable. “Build it again, and I’ll come back! Build once, I’ll slaughter once!”
His voice fell, and a flicker of sword light appeared beneath his feet. The next moment, he vanished from the spot.
In the scene, the Left Venerable’s face was dark. A voice suddenly sounded behind him. “Build it again! Let him come back!”
The Left Venerable’s heart jolted. He turned and bowed respectfully…
…
After returning to the Great Wilderness, Ye Xuan went straight to Little Pagoda, buzzing with excitement!
Based on his earlier idea, another thought struck him. If force is mutual, could he apply it to slashing the future, past, and present?
Transformation!
In that moment, Ye Xuan thought of this term!
Above Eternal Imperishable is the Limitless Realm, and above that is the Transformation Realm!
What is Transformation?
It’s the splitting and release of an essential energy, like a piece of wood bursting into flame—that’s fission!
On this basis, he could make his sword energy reach a terrifying level!
Amplified power!
Ye Xuan acted on the thought. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. The next moment, it trembled, and he released a wisp of sword energy. Then, he began compressing it frantically!
Unlike before, he didn’t just compress. As he compressed, he continuously fed new sword energy into the core, ensuring it wouldn’t collapse!
In simple terms, he compressed the sword energy while making it grow stronger.
He was searching for a fission point!
Under his pressure, the wisp of sword energy trembled violently. After a long time, it suddenly erupted in a dazzling burst of sword light. Ye Xuan was blasted a thousand feet away!
When he stopped, his chest had split open!
The spot where the sword energy had been was now a pitch-black void!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan froze, then turned and hugged An Lanxiu, who had rushed over at the sound. He kissed her fiercely and laughed, “Little An, I’m a genius! A super genius! Without me, Ye Xuan, the way of the sword would be as dark as a starless night. Haha…”
An Lanxiu looked at Ye Xuan. “Why did you kiss me?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Did I kiss you? I didn’t…”
An Lanxiu: “…”
