Instantly reaching the Time Realm!
The two Inner Contemplation elders were struck as if by lightning, their minds blank!
What kind of move was this?
At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
The two elders didn’t dare fight in the study, but he did.
The instant Ye Xuan disappeared, the elders’ pupils shrank. How fast was Ye Xuan moving?
Beyond everything!
The lead elder threw up his arms to block, a terrifying force surging from within him. But the moment it appeared, Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword shattered it like cutting tofu!
*Slash!*
The elder was cleaved in two by Ye Xuan’s sword!
And it wasn’t over. After bisecting the elder, Ye Xuan swept his sword horizontally.
*Boom!*
The other elder was obliterated by the Qingxuan Sword!
Before Ye Xuan, the bisected elder’s soul rapidly dissipated. He stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief. “You… what’s with you?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Just like that!”
The elder roared, “You’re cheating!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Didn’t you say family background and backing are part of strength? I used the sword my sister made for me—that’s part of my strength too!”
The elder: “…”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Safe travels!”
With that, he swung his sword.
*Slash!*
The elder was erased!
At that moment, Old Zhang appeared at the door. He hesitated, then asked, “They’re all dead?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Old Zhang bowed slightly. “My apologies for the disturbance!”
He turned to leave.
Outside, Old Zhang leaned against the wall, his face full of confusion. “Is this what the Pavilion Master meant by ‘hacking’…? So nice… I want it too…”
Old Zhang was utterly baffled!
Two Inner Contemplation Realm experts!
Gone just like that!
Utterly absurd!
In the study, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, gazing at the Qingxuan Sword.
Little Tower suddenly asked, “Regrets?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Little Tower was puzzled. “Then what?”
Ye Xuan grinned widely. “Feels awesome!”
Little Tower: “…”
Ye Xuan let out a soft sigh, a mix of emotions.
If he fought purely on his own strength, he couldn’t have beaten those two together—not even one with full confidence! But with the Qingxuan Sword, he could instantly kill Inner Contemplation experts!
The Time Realm!
Before the power of Time, Inner Contemplation was like an ant!
On his own, he couldn’t win. With his sister’s help, one strike, instant kill!
After a long silence, Ye Xuan shook his head and put away the Qingxuan Sword.
Little Tower asked, “Little Master, you’re not using the Qingxuan Sword anymore?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “If the enemy doesn’t go too far, I won’t use it.”
Little Tower was curious. “What counts as ‘too far’?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Ganging up on me.”
Little Tower: “Got it!”
Ye Xuan suddenly stood and left. Soon, he arrived at a riverbank, lay down, and smeared blood on himself, making it look like he was gravely injured.
Little Tower was confused. “Little Master, what are you doing?”
Ye Xuan said, “Don’t talk!”
Little Tower: “…”
At that moment, a terrifying aura appeared in the sky. The next instant, space-time tore open, and an elder stepped out, his gaze locking onto Ye Xuan. “Where are they?”
Below, Ye Xuan scrambled up, eyeing the elder warily. “You… who are you?”
The elder frowned. “You’re that so-called Man of Destiny?”
Ye Xuan feigned fear. “You… Brother Dao Ling… I…”
With that, he turned and bolted, vanishing into the horizon at incredible speed.
The elder was stunned.
He fled?
Just like that?
After a long pause, the elder shook his head. “What a joke. This is the Man of Destiny…?”
He vanished, heading for the Dao Clan.
**Dao Clan**
The elder stormed into the Dao Clan, slamming his right hand downward.
*Boom!*
A terrifying pressure swept from the sky, instantly setting the entire Dao Clan’s world ablaze.
At that moment, a figure shot up from below!
*Boom!*
The terrifying pressure in the sky vanished.
The elder stared at Dao Ling, not far away. “Where are my Shi Clan people?”
Dao Ling frowned. “What are you talking about?”
The elder glared at Dao Ling. “You killed them!”
Dao Ling was puzzled. “What are you on about?”
A ferocious glint flashed in the elder’s eyes. “Still playing dumb? Die!”
With that, he vanished.
*Slash!*
The space-time before Dao Ling exploded, and a terrifying force surged toward him.
Seeing this, Dao Ling’s face turned cold. He stepped forward, pointing with two fingers, then threw a punch.
*Boom!*
The space-time before Dao Ling shattered, and the elder was blasted tens of thousands of feet away. As the elder stopped, Dao Ling vanished again. The elder’s pupils shrank, and he threw up his arms to block.
*Boom!*
A terrifying force slammed into the elder’s arms!
*Boom!*
His arms shattered, and he was thrown back tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, he looked up to see Dao Ling above him, a savage glint in his eyes. “Get lost!”
Dao Ling’s voice fell, and he stomped downward.
*Boom!*
Under the gaze of countless Dao Clan experts, the space-time where Dao Ling’s foot landed was erased, forming a zone of nothingness!
The elder was forced back tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, a fist imprint slammed into him.
*Boom!*
Before everyone’s eyes, the elder was reduced to nothingness, erased!
Killing an Inner Contemplation expert!
The Dao Clan experts watching were fired up!
Their clan leader had taken down an Inner Contemplation expert in just five moves!
Invincible strength!
Dao Ling suddenly said, “Find out why this man came here!”
An elder behind him quietly withdrew.
Soon, the elder returned and bowed. “Clan Leader, we’ve learned that two Shi Clan experts went to find Ye Xuan but then vanished. This man came here after visiting Ye Xuan. For some reason, he came to us—it must be Ye Xuan framing us!”
The elder added angrily, “That guy’s despicable!”
Ye Xuan!
Dao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, “The Shi Clan is likely targeting both me and him!”
The elder was puzzled. “Clan Leader, we have no grudge with this Shi Clan from outside. Why target us?”
Dao Ling closed his eyes slowly. “The battle for fate!”
The battle for fate!
He knew this contest was unavoidable. Only the survivor could claim all the Great Dao’s fate!
The elder said gravely, “Clan Leader, what should we do now?”
Dao Ling’s face was expressionless. “To the Zhou Tian Universe!”
The elder was stunned. “The Zhou Tian Universe?”
Dao Ling nodded slightly.
They had to go to the Zhou Tian Universe. Otherwise, the battlefield would be in the Xuanguan Universe, which would be disastrous for the Dao Clan. The clan, just revived, couldn’t withstand the Shi Clan’s onslaught!
The elder wanted to speak, but Dao Ling said, “My mind is made up! Dao Chu, from this moment, you’re the deputy clan leader. Everyone in the clan must obey your orders!”
With that, he vanished into the horizon.
Dao Chu looked to the sky, his eyes full of worry.
…
By a riverbank, Ye Xuan, lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. Before him stood a man—Dao Ling.
Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “So it’s the Dao Clan Leader. I’ve heard much about you!”
Dao Ling got straight to the point. “The Shi Clan won’t spare you or me. Instead of waiting for them, we should go to them!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “You’re worried the battlefield will be in the Xuanguan Universe, which would be bad for your Dao Clan. Your clan just returned from the Burial Ground and needs time to grow, right?”
Dao Ling nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “You’re quite candid!”
Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan. “They lost three Inner Contemplation experts this time. Next time, they might send Time Realm or stronger. Are you sure you want to sit here and wait?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Dao Ling continued, “One question: do you like Shitian?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Not at all!”
Dao Ling nodded. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s take him down!”
Ye Xuan said, “Let’s do it!”
With that, they vanished.
No hesitation—straight to action!
To the Zhou Tian Universe.
…
On the way, Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “What’s the Burial Ground?”
Dao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, “An ancient ruin. Legend says a great battle happened there.”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why didn’t the major forces of the Xuanguan Universe chase you down and wipe you out back then?”
Dao Ling said calmly, “There’s an evil aura there. They were afraid to die, so they didn’t pursue.”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Evil aura?”
Dao Ling glanced at Ye Xuan. “Heard of the Evil Spirit Clan?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Dao Ling said, “A powerful race, not from the Zhou Tian Universe but another. They were defeated and fled to the Xuanguan Universe, where they were sealed and suppressed.”
Ye Xuan was curious. “By whom?”
Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan. “Do you think I know everything?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Dao Ling looked away. “My turn to ask. You killed those two Inner Contemplation experts?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Dao Ling frowned. “They were Inner Contemplation. Fighting them would’ve caused a huge commotion. Why was there none?”
Ye Xuan turned to Dao Ling, puzzled. “Killing an Inner Contemplation expert needs a commotion? Isn’t it just one sword strike? What, do you need a second move to kill one?”
Dao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, “I just killed an Inner Contemplation expert too.”
Ye Xuan blinked. “And?”
Dao Ling said seriously, “It only took me half a move!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
