Ye Xuan didn’t return directly to the Guanxuan Academy in the Divine Realms but instead went to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in the Immortal Ancient Realm.
When Ye Xuan arrived, Xu Tian, the branch president of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, hurriedly came out to greet him, bowing deeply, “Young Master Ye!”
Others might not know what happened, but he did. Two Upper Ancient God Realm experts from the Xuantian Divine Realm had fallen!
And Ye Xuan was still alive!
Anyone with a brain could figure out what that meant!
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Find me a place to cultivate, I need to go into seclusion for a bit!”
Xu Tian quickly replied, “Young Master Ye, follow me!”
With that, he led Ye Xuan to an unknown starry region.
Xu Tian glanced around, then said, “Young Master Ye, this is the best cultivation spot around, very quiet!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Xu Tian bowed slightly, “Young Master Ye, if you need anything, just say the word!”
With that, he retreated slowly.
After Xu Tian left, Ye Xuan looked around, then sat cross-legged. He opened his palm, and the ancient book his father had given him appeared.
A sword technique created by his father and big brother together?
Ye Xuan was beyond curious!
He opened the book, and suddenly, a sword light shot straight into his brow.
*Boom!*
In an instant, a flood of information poured into his mind:
*Moment of Invincibility. Once unleashed, you instantly transcend the current universe. In that moment, you’re immune to all forces of the existing universe, untouchable by fate or causality, countering all great laws and paths. With a single thought, your sword locks the soul, its light gleaming, leaving afterimages as it returns to the sheath, annihilating all things. In that moment, I am invincible!*
In that moment, I am invincible?
Ye Xuan froze!
Soon, his blood boiled with excitement!
Badass!
He wanted to roar.
This sword technique allowed him to leap beyond the current universe, untouched by fate or causality, countering all great laws…
Ye Xuan could barely contain himself.
This was way fiercer than One Sword Shatters Void!
As expected from his father and big brother’s joint creation!
One word: Fierce!
Two words: Insanely fierce!
Without wasting time, Ye Xuan dove into studying it!
But soon, he was dumbfounded!
He discovered that cultivating this technique required an astronomical amount of money, as it demanded vast spiritual energy to break through the current universe and transcend it.
How much spiritual energy?
He burned a million cosmic veins, but it was like a pebble in the ocean—no reaction!
Not nearly enough!
Holy crap!
Ye Xuan was stunned!
Unwilling to give up, he kept burning cosmic veins, standing with sword in hand, eyes closed, channeling the technique. Around him, countless cosmic veins burned wildly.
Two million!
Three million!
Four million!
Six million!
When he hit ten million cosmic veins, his sword finally trembled slightly.
Progress!
Ye Xuan’s heart leaped, and he quickly channeled the Moment of Invincibility technique. Soon, faint sword light appeared around him, but then, the burning cosmic veins were completely absorbed by his sword!
Ye Xuan hurriedly burned more cosmic veins!
At this point, he didn’t care about the cost—he just wanted to test this sword’s power!
He burned cosmic veins like mad!
Supported by endless cosmic veins, his sword trembled violently, and countless tiny sword lights appeared around him, like veins!
Ye Xuan suddenly raised his sword. The tiny sword lights converged toward his arm, flowing into the sword in his hand.
And now, it demanded even more spiritual energy!
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan kept burning cosmic veins!
About a quarter of an hour later, he thrust his sword forward, roaring, “Open!”
*Boom!*
With one thrust, the space-time before him split open.
Ye Xuan stepped into it, and the next moment, he appeared in a void space. He was stunned!
This space was pure nothingness, not the river of time or space-time, seemingly independent of the universe! From here, he could see the universe he came from, transparent and illusory.
Ye Xuan glanced at his body, covered in a thin layer of sword light, like scales, dazzlingly bright.
Invincible?
He thought for a moment, then took out the Great Dao Pen and slashed at himself.
*Slash!*
The pen’s edge struck him.
*Boom!*
The edge shattered, but he was unscathed!
Ye Xuan froze, then burst into wild laughter!
Truly invincible!
In that moment, he was truly invincible.
As if realizing something, he looked at the existing universe outside, closed his eyes, and suddenly drew his sword.
In that universe, four afterimages appeared somewhere, slashing in unison, their sword lights converging.
*Boom!*
In an instant, that starry region was obliterated, but the scariest part was the overwhelming power, sweeping millions of miles, wiping out the endless starry sky above the Divine Realms in a single moment.
A million-mile starfield, annihilated by one sword!
The residual force kept fracturing starfields beyond, affecting over a dozen universes!
In that moment, countless powerhouses were shocked!
Which big shot unleashed that sword?
Countless people began investigating, but found nothing.
Then, Ye Xuan returned to the existing universe, collapsing like a puddle of mud, utterly exhausted!
That sword’s power, far surpassing the Great Dao Pen, was too much for his current body to fully withstand!
Xu Tian appeared, seeing Ye Xuan and trembling, “Young Master Ye… you…”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “I’m fine! Just need a rest!”
With that, he lay there, closing his eyes to recover.
He didn’t use the pill his father gave him—too powerful, better saved for a critical moment. Only five pills, each used was one less, and his father wouldn’t always show up.
Xu Tian watched Ye Xuan, his face full of shock.
He strongly suspected Ye Xuan caused that starry sky wipeout!
But Ye Xuan was only at the Cave Mysterious Realm?
How could he have such terrifying strength?
Xu Tian was puzzled.
About an hour later, Ye Xuan’s complexion improved. He sat up, smiling bitterly.
That sword was just too terrifying!
Suddenly, he checked his storage ring and froze when he saw his cosmic veins.
Three million gone!
Three million!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
To unleash that sword, he burned three million cosmic veins. Was this sword technique like Qin Guan’s, powered by money?
He realized something else: he hadn’t used his bloodline power, Human Sword Intent, or Human Power! Otherwise, its might could’ve been even more terrifying!
And that sword wasn’t even at its full potential—he was just testing it, not going all out.
In short, this sword was insanely invincible!
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
His father really went all out this time!
Money, sword technique, and a box!
Thinking of it, Ye Xuan took out the box, examining it. It was ordinary, but he knew its contents were anything but.
He glanced at Xu Tian, who hurriedly said, “Young Master Ye, you go ahead, I’ll take my leave!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “What happened just now, keep it secret, got it?”
Xu Tian froze, then his expression changed, and he quickly said, “Of course!”
With that, he retreated.
Outside, Xu Tian’s face was full of disbelief. That commotion was really caused by Young Master Ye!
Absolutely absurd!
…
**Xuantian Divine Realm**
Xuantian sat in the hall, with several elders kneeling before him, the ones who’d gone to hunt Ye Xuan, just retrieved by him!
Xuantian let out a huge sigh of relief.
If he hadn’t caught them in time and they’d reached Ye Xuan… it would’ve been a disaster!
In the hall, the kneeling elders were bewildered.
Xuantian suddenly said, “Listen up, from today on, don’t go after Young Master Ye. If you encounter him, turn and leave. If unavoidable, treat him with respect, like your own father!”
The elders were utterly confused.
Xuantian roared, “Don’t ask why, just do it, for your own good! Get out!”
The elders, not daring to question, left in a daze.
In the hall, Xuantian leaned back in his chair, eyes closed.
These past few days, he’d lived in constant fear, the image of the man in the green robe haunting his mind!
Suddenly, an elder appeared, bowing slightly, “Realm Lord, Emperor Yuan, Clan Leader of the Emperor Desolate Clan, requests an audience!”
Xuantian frowned, “Emperor Desolate Clan? What’s he want?”
The elder said solemnly, “He says he has urgent matters to report!”
Urgent matters!
Xuantian nodded, “Let him in!”
The elder left, and soon, Di Yuan entered the hall, bowing slightly to Xuantian before getting straight to the point, “Realm Lord Xuantian, let me make it clear, my Emperor Desolate Clan has no connection to Ye Xuan, none whatsoever!”
Xuantian looked at Di Yuan, silent.
Di Yuan continued, “Realm Lord Xuantian, I’ve just tracked Ye Xuan’s whereabouts. After leaving the Divine Ancient Clan, he went straight to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. I’ve sent people to surround him. Realm Lord Xuantian, you can head there now, and my Emperor Desolate Clan will fully cooperate to capture Ye Xuan.”
Xuantian’s legs suddenly went weak.
