Ten clans!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
This bizarre scenario was happening again!
Could these guys have been set up by the Great Dao Pen?
Great Dao Pen: “…”
Suddenly, the Lord of the Mysterious God Realm turned, opening his palm and softly commanding, “Rise!”
Boom!
The blood in the altar behind him surged skyward, instantly turning millions of miles of sky blood-red. A massive blood-colored vortex appeared above Ye Xuan’s head.
In that moment, malice and killing intent flooded the heavens and earth!
The Lord stared at Ye Xuan. “An array formed from the blood of millions of souls, seal!”
As his voice fell, the black vortex trembled violently, and a blood pillar, a hundred feet wide, descended from the sky.
Its primary target: the Great Dao Pen!
Below, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, his right hand clenching. Just as the Lord and others thought he’d resist, Ye Xuan stood still, letting the blood pillar engulf him.
Boom!
The entire ground turned into a sea of blood!
But then, Ye Xuan’s eyes snapped open.
Boom!
Two blood-red sword beams shot from his eyes, shattering the space before him!
In that moment, he looked like a blood-soaked figure!
Boom!
Suddenly, the blood sea surged toward Ye Xuan like a tidal wave!
Seeing this, the Lord and his group were dumbfounded.
What was happening?
They realised their blood array not only failed to harm Ye Xuan but was being absorbed by him!
Most absurdly, Ye Xuan’s killing intent and malice were stronger than those of their blood array!
What in the world?
The Lord and his group were utterly baffled.
Gu Han, watching from afar, stared at Ye Xuan in disbelief.
She never imagined the refined Ye Xuan could exude such terrifying malice and killing intent, as if he’d become someone else!
What kind of person was he?
Ye Xuan let out a furious roar.
Boom!
In an instant, he absorbed every drop of blood in the heavens and earth!
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from him, causing the surrounding space to boil!
After absorbing the blood, his bloodline power grew even stronger!
His bloodline had always progressed slowly, as unlike his father, he rarely committed mass slaughter. This kept his bloodline’s growth minimal.
But now, the Lord had delivered countless blood infused with endless killing intent and malice!
To Ye Xuan’s bloodline, it was like rain after a drought!
His bloodline broke through to a new level!
In the distance, the Lord and his group’s faces darkened. Ye Xuan’s bloodline had actually advanced!
Ye Xuan looked up at Xuan Mu. “One-on-one?”
One-on-one!
Xuan Mu stared at him. “As you wish!”
As he prepared to act, the Lord stopped him.
Xuan Mu said gravely, “Brother, I know we can’t underestimate anyone, but I want to fight him fair and square!”
He turned to Ye Xuan. “He annoys me. I want to kill him myself!”
The Lord fell silent.
Xuan Mu smiled, “If you’re worried, it’s fine. If I can’t handle him, you can step in, alright?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The Lord nodded, “Fine!”
Xuan Mu appeared before Ye Xuan, staring at him. “Today—”
A sword slashed forth.
Void Slash!
The strike came without warning!
Ye Xuan struck with full force, infused with his bloodline power!
He dared not underestimate his opponent—an Ancient God!
A killing move from the start!
Though Ye Xuan struck suddenly, Xuan Mu reacted swiftly, raising his arm to block.
Boom!
Sword light shattered, and Xuan Mu was forced back a thousand feet, his right arm cracked. But the next moment, he shot forward like an arrow, vanishing.
Rip!
The space in the field tore apart!
Ye Xuan instinctively slashed downward.
Boom!
Sword light exploded, and Ye Xuan was pushed back. As he retreated, the space before him ripped open, and a fist imprint roared toward his face, distorting the surrounding space.
Ye Xuan sidestepped, dodging the terrifying punch. His wrist flicked, slashing toward Xuan Mu’s abdomen, but Xuan Mu reacted quickly, raising his knee to block the sword.
Boom!
Sword light erupted between them, and both retreated. As they did, dozens of sword beams appeared eerily before Xuan Mu.
Seeing the sudden swords, Xuan Mu’s pupils narrowed. He roared, clenching his fists, crouching, and shouting, “Break!”
Boom!
A terrifying force surged from him!
Boom!
Ye Xuan’s dozens of swords were blasted away. At that moment, a shadow rushed forward, and a blood-red sword slashed forth.
Boom!
Xuan Mu was sent flying thousands of feet!
As he stopped, hundreds of swords descended, engulfing him!
Swords formed from sword intent!
As the swords struck, Xuan Mu’s pupils shrank to pinpoints. He roared, his right hand opening, and countless black blades flew upward.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions rang out as sword and blade lights shattered. Xuan Mu retreated frantically, while Ye Xuan vanished.
Rip!
A blood-red sword beam tore through the field, shattering space in its path!
From the shattered sword light, a terrifying force erupted, and a fist imprint surged forth, crushing toward Ye Xuan’s blood-red sword beam.
Boom!
The fist shattered, the sword light broke!
Both retreated thousands of feet, and the space within tens of thousands of feet shattered like glass, collapsing into nothingness!
A dark void!
Their lingering forces continued to erode the broken space!
Their power was too overwhelming!
Nearby, Gu Han’s eyes were filled with gravity and shock.
She hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to be this strong!
Before, she could suppress him, but now, he matched an Ancient God blow for blow!
His growth was absurd!
Unnatural!
But she soon realised why Ye Xuan’s combat power was so terrifying.
First, his bloodline power!
Much of his strength came from his newly advanced bloodline, which had boosted him immensely. Second, his sword intent!
Gu Han noticed that Ye Xuan’s ability to clash with an Ancient God stemmed not only from his bloodline but also his sword intent, which was so potent it could harm Ancient Gods!
These factors allowed Ye Xuan to hold his own!
The Lord of the Mysterious God Realm noticed this too!
Though Ye Xuan was only Cave Mysterious, his bloodline and sword intent were extraordinary!
Xuan Mu glared at Ye Xuan, his body covered in sword marks, some deep enough to nearly shatter his body.
Though he disliked Ye Xuan, he had to admit—Ye Xuan’s swords were terrifying!
Ye Xuan wasn’t unscathed either. A deep fist imprint marred his chest; Xuan Mu’s earlier punch nearly destroyed his body.
Ye Xuan took a deep breath, closing his eyes, his body trembling slightly.
After absorbing the blood, his bloodline breakthrough made it hard to control!
Thankfully, his recent reading had calmed his mind, preventing him from losing himself entirely.
He needed to stay lucid!
He didn’t strike again. The longer he delayed, the better, as his bloodline power’s activation meant his strength was rising endlessly!
Xuan Mu noticed this too, glaring at Ye Xuan. His right hand clenched, and a terrifying force gathered in his fist, causing the surrounding space to crumble bit by bit!
He was getting serious!
Xuan Mu shot skyward, and a massive black mirror flew from his body. Holding it, he aimed at Ye Xuan and flashed it.
Boom!
A terrifying force surged from the mirror, and a golden light pillar roared downward, shattering the unknown world as it descended!
Xuan Mu stared at Ye Xuan below. “Die!”
But Ye Xuan looked up, untying the Great Dao Pen from his waist. Instantly, his realm surged from Cave Mysterious to Ancient God!
He matched Xuan Mu’s realm!
Below, Ye Xuan swung the pen.
A stroke slashed forth!
Rip!
The sky’s light pillar shattered, and Xuan Mu was blasted tens of thousands of feet away…
At that moment, the Lord of the Mysterious God Realm vanished.
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, trying to swing the Great Dao Pen again, but it was too late.
Boom!
A blood mist exploded, and a shadow retreated tens of thousands of feet!
When Ye Xuan stopped, only his soul remained—his body had shattered!
His soul hit the ground, fading rapidly…
…
