On the city walls of Guanxuan City.
Beside Ye Xuan, Qin Guan spoke softly, “Killing the Qiu family’s people will surely provoke the Xiao Clan! Besides them, the people from the Dimensional Universe probably won’t let us off either!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “What can we do about it?”
Qin Guan grinned, “Just do it!”
Afraid?
Neither of them had ever been afraid!
What they were doing wasn’t simple. Making enemies was only natural!
Qin Guan suddenly said, “You should enter the Second-Dimensional Universe!”
Ye Xuan turned to look at her. She smiled slightly, “To improve your strength!”
As she spoke, she opened her palm, and thirty Crystal Kings appeared before Ye Xuan.
Crystal Kings!
Looking at the thirty Crystal Kings, Ye Xuan fell silent.
He knew how precious they were. A single Crystal King was priceless, enough to drive countless people mad!
Even those at the Other Shore Realm couldn’t resist such a treasure!
And Qin Guan had just handed over thirty of them!
She smiled, “One Crystal King can boost your cultivation by roughly a thousand years. Your realm has advanced too quickly, and your foundation is a bit weak. These Crystal Kings will make up for that flaw!”
Ye Xuan nodded, accepting the thirty Crystal Kings without refusal, then said, “I’m off to the Second-Dimensional Universe. If anything comes up, contact me!”
With that, he rode his sword into the air, vanishing into the depths of the starry sky.
On the city wall, Qin Guan looked up at the stars above. After a long moment, she turned and left.
…
After arriving in the First-Dimensional Universe, Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate and directly entered the Second-Dimensional Universe!
Glancing around, he noticed the spatial structure here differed from the First-Dimensional Universe. The space was angular and highly irregular, making it jarring to look at.
Without overthinking, Ye Xuan closed his eyes and began to operate the technique Qin Guan had given him, absorbing the power of the Second-Dimensional Universe!
Gradually, countless streams of dimensional energy converged toward him!
He found that the technique could still absorb the Second-Dimensional Universe’s power, though it was slightly strained!
Clearly, the technique needed improvement!
But for now, it was usable!
As endless dimensional energy entered his body, the Qingxuan Sword in his hand began to tremble faintly.
Dimensional energy!
Unlike before, this time Ye Xuan carefully sensed the dimensional energy!
He noticed a problem: this energy wasn’t cultivated by himself but drawn from the Dimensional Universe. In a sense, it was external power!
If the Dimensional Universe and Parallel Universe went to war, and the Dimensional Universe closed its channels, cutting off access to its power, wouldn’t the Parallel Universe’s experts be crippled?
At this thought, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed deeply.
His instincts told him this was a hidden risk!
With this in mind, he suddenly called out, “Little Tower!”
No response!
Ye Xuan blinked, then said, “Little Tower, you asleep?”
Little Tower’s voice was faint, “What do you want?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Little Tower, try absorbing the dimensional energy!”
Little Tower was puzzled, “Me, absorb dimensional energy?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes! Give it a try!”
After a moment’s silence, Little Tower began to absorb the energy. Instantly, countless streams of dimensional energy surged toward Ye Xuan like a tide!
And all of it was absorbed into Little Tower!
It actually worked!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was overjoyed!
Little Tower could absorb dimensional energy. What did this mean? It meant he could store dimensional energy in Little Tower’s world, which was vast. How much could it hold?
Normal Void Realm Heart-Breaking experts could only store dimensional energy in their bodies, and unlike him, they couldn’t freely access the Dimensional Universe’s space to absorb endlessly!
For ordinary Void Realm experts, absorbing dimensional energy was costly and difficult. They had to use the First-Dimensional Universe as a medium, which required merging with it—a nearly impossible task, as the First-Dimensional Universe was entirely different from the Parallel Universe. Merging with it was extraordinarily challenging.
Only in Ancient Desolation could it be done, as it had complete cultivation methods suited to the Dimensional Universe. Without such methods, no matter how talented, one couldn’t merge with the Dimensional Universe!
That’s why countless universe factions wanted to come to Ancient Desolation and join the ten superpowers.
In the field, Ye Xuan and Little Tower frantically absorbed the dimensional energy. Little Tower had given up cultivating since its transformation!
A lifetime of cultivation couldn’t compare to a day of transformation. It had accepted its fate!
Ye Xuan would be the King of Backers, and it would be the Tower of Backers!
With Little Tower storing energy, Ye Xuan’s dimensional energy grew exponentially, and he began using it to enhance himself!
His goal was Void Realm Heart-Breaking!
His aim: invincible in his realm, able to kill across realms!
Time passed slowly. After absorbing endless Second-Dimensional energy, Ye Xuan’s aura began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
After an unknown time, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
Boom!
In an instant, the space-time around him turned to ash, and the dimensional token in his hand vanished.
Void Realm No-Heart!
The moment he broke through, the dimensional space within a million miles boiled!
The commotion was too great!
Ye Xuan’s heart jolted, and he was about to retreat when, at that moment, the distant space-time split open, and a man slowly stepped out!
Seeing Ye Xuan, the man froze, “It’s you!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “And you are?”
The man looked at Ye Xuan, “Chu Tian!”
Chu Tian!
Great Chu!
Ye Xuan blinked, then grinned, “Enemies always cross paths, huh?”
Chu Tian stared at Ye Xuan, “I didn’t expect you to reach the Second-Dimensional Universe.”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Got business? If not, I’m leaving!”
With that, he turned to go.
Chu Tian suddenly said, “How about a spar?”
Ye Xuan turned to face him, “You sure?”
Chu Tian smiled, “What, think I’m scared of you?”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, “Bring it on!”
Whoosh!
The moment his voice fell, the space-time before Chu Tian split open.
A sword without warning!
Chu Tian’s eyes narrowed, reacting swiftly. When the sword was half an inch from his brow, he vanished like a ghost.
Whoosh!
Ye Xuan’s sword struck air. After missing, he remained calm, spinning to slash downward.
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and ten thousand miles of space-time collapsed!
A shadow retreated rapidly!
It was Chu Tian!
Chu Tian retreated a thousand zhang, opened his right hand, and pressed downward.
Boom!
Instantly, the eerie space-time above Ye Xuan turned into overlapping palm prints crashing down, as if millions of mountains were collapsing!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. His right hand spun his sword, Human World Sword Intent soaring as the Qingxuan Sword turned into a beam of sword light, shooting upward!
Head-on clash!
Whoosh!
The countless overlapping palm prints tore apart, ripping quickly at first but slowing toward the end.
At that moment, Chu Tian stomped his right foot.
Boom!
He vanished, and a white light shot toward Ye Xuan at terrifying speed!
Pure speed!
Pure power!
Where the white light passed, the dimensional space tore like paper.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. His Qingxuan Sword was still countering the palm prints.
But he had another sword!
With a thought, a blood-red sword appeared in his hand!
Bloodline Sword!
Ye Xuan’s bloodline surged. He slashed forward.
Boom!
The space-time before him exploded, and both men retreated wildly!
As they retreated, ten Bloodline Swords eerily appeared around Chu Tian!
Chu Tian frowned, clenching his right fist and punching out. A golden light erupted from him, instantly blasting the ten blood swords away, though not shattering them!
Seeing this, surprise flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes. The ten swords autonomously slashed at him again, and at the same time, Ye Xuan vanished from his spot.
Whoosh!
The space-time above Chu Tian split into eleven cracks!
Eleven swords!
Chu Tian’s pupils shrank. He pressed both hands outward, “Return to Silence!”
Boom!
A black light erupted from him, instantly turning the surrounding million miles of dimensional space-time to ash!
Ye Xuan returned to his spot, waves of terrifying force surging toward him, all blocked by his Human World Sword Intent!
In the distance, Chu Tian looked up at Ye Xuan, his palm open, murmuring ancient words. Gradually, the Second-Dimensional Universe trembled.
Boom!
Suddenly, the space-time above Ye Xuan split open, and countless terrifying black lights surged downward like a tide!
Boom!
The Second-Dimensional Universe boiled!
Countless Dimensional Universe experts, shocked, rushed toward the scene!
Other Shore Realm!
This wasn’t Second-Dimensional energy—it was Third-Dimensional energy!
This meant Chu Tian had reached the Other Shore Realm!
Third-Dimensional energy!
Seeing the black lights surging, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. Chu Tian’s power had undergone a qualitative change!
Facing that terrifying force, Ye Xuan closed his eyes slowly. He didn’t use his bloodline power or the three formations in the Qingxuan Sword, instead directly channeling Second-Dimensional energy!
Of course, he had a lot of it!
Ye Xuan spun his wrist and slashed upward!
In an instant, countless Second-Dimensional energies turned into a sword aura, soaring from the Qingxuan Sword.
Whoosh!
In the sky, the countless black lights were torn apart, reduced to nothing!
Seeing this, Chu Tian’s pupils shrank, “How is that possible…”
Ye Xuan looked at him and slashed down.
Chu Tian’s eyes narrowed, punching out with countless Third-Dimensional energies!
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted, and Chu Tian was forced back a hundred zhang!
Ye Xuan didn’t budge an inch!
Second-Dimensional energy against Third-Dimensional energy!
In the distance, Chu Tian stopped, looking at Ye Xuan with disbelief, “How is that possible…”
At that moment, the space-time split open, and an old man appeared.
Seeing the golden emblem on the old man’s chest, all the Dimensional Universe people gasped and retreated!
Ye Clan!
The old man glanced at Chu Tian, nodding slightly, “Not bad… Would you join my Ye Clan?”
Chu Tian was silent.
A voice sounded in his mind, “Agree!”
Chu Tian nodded, “I’m willing!”
The old man nodded slightly, “From now on, you’re a Ye Clan member! You may keep your surname, but outwardly, you represent the Ye Clan!”
Chu Tian nodded, “Alright!”
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, noting his No-Heart Realm, shook his head, then said to Chu Tian, “Let’s go!”
Chu Tian looked at Ye Xuan, “Next time we meet, you won’t be so lucky!”
He turned to leave.
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, “Why wait for next time? Why not settle life and death now?”
The Ye Clan elder frowned, looking at Ye Xuan, “Such arrogance from a mere junior?”
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm, “It’s in my nature, can’t change it!”
The elder’s eyes narrowed, his right hand flipping to press toward Ye Xuan.
In the distance, a ferocious glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, “To hell with you!”
He slashed out, breaking the elder’s momentum, then pointed his sword at the elder and Chu Tian, “Both of you, come at me together!”
Everyone: “…”
