Seeing the demon beast charge again, Ye Xuan’s expression shifted!
This wasn’t an ordinary demon beast, and even he felt some apprehension!
Its power was terrifying. Even with his cultivated Dao body, he could barely withstand its strength!
But at this moment, he had no room to retreat!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. The next moment, he charged forward, slashing down with a single stroke!
Sword exchange!
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan, along with his brush, was sent flying!
At that moment, the demon beast suddenly stomped heavily on the ground.
Boom!
The earth collapsed instantly, and a terrifying force surged from the ground, blasting toward Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. His figure trembled, and he shot into the sky. The next moment, he transformed into a beam of sword light, slashing toward the demon beast!
The beast looked up at Ye Xuan, its eyes full of disdain, not even bothering to dodge!
The sword fell!
Boom!
A wave of sword light shattered, and the demon beast was forced back a hundred zhang!
When it stopped, a gash split open on its head, blood gushing out!
Seeing this, the faces of Xue Qing and the other two in the distance changed dramatically!
Zhao Mu’s expression was grim. “He’s at the Heavenly Dao Realm!”
Heavenly Dao Realm!
Hearing this, Xue Qing and Li Feng’s faces also darkened!
They had thought Ye Xuan was only at the No-Dao Realm, but they never expected him to be at the Heavenly Dao Realm!
Heavenly Dao Realm!
This was not something they could afford to provoke!
At this moment, Zhao Mu suddenly growled, “He’s definitely no match for that demon beast!”
The other two hurriedly nodded!
In the distance, after Ye Xuan’s sword broke its defence, the demon beast grew furious. It let out a deafening roar, then leapt forward, charging headfirst at Ye Xuan!
Seeing the beast charge, Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. The power of his bloodline surged within him. The next moment, he slashed down with all his might!
Rip!
Where the sword passed, space itself was torn apart!
Man and beast clashed head-on once more!
Boom!
As the sword fell, a burst of sword light erupted from the beast’s head!
Bang!
In an instant, the demon beast was forced back nearly a thousand zhang, but Ye Xuan was also pushed back several thousand zhang!
The moment the beast stopped, countless sword strikes from the mortal realm came slashing down!
Boom, boom, boom!
Explosions rang out continuously!
In the distance, a trickle of blood seeped from Ye Xuan’s mouth!
Though he had cultivated a Dao body, his physical form still couldn’t withstand the beast’s power!
It was simply too terrifying!
Without his Dao body, he wouldn’t have been able to fight this beast at all. A single charge from it could shatter anything!
Ye Xuan muttered in his heart, “Little Brush, do you know this demon beast?”
The Great Dao Brush replied solemnly, “I don’t know it!”
Ye Xuan frowned. The Brush said helplessly, “My master has so many underlings. I can’t possibly know them all! Besides, you know I’ve been locked away for a long time!”
Ye Xuan said helplessly, “I’m done with you!”
Wiping the blood from his mouth, he looked at the demon beast in the distance!
At that moment, the beast, now enraged, glared with ferocious eyes. Suddenly, it let out a roar, and the surrounding space and time began to boil!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. This damn thing knows magic?
At that moment, a black light suddenly surged from the beast’s mouth!
Boom!
In an instant, the surrounding space and time began to burn!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. This thing really knows magic!
Not daring to be careless, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and countless mortal sword intents poured into the Qingxuan Sword. At the same time, his bloodline power surged wildly. The next moment, he charged forward, slashing down with all his strength!
A sword strike with everything he had!
Rip!
The slash tore through the black light instantly, but Ye Xuan’s body also cracked open, blood spraying!
Shocked, Ye Xuan trembled and retreated rapidly!
When he stopped, faint flames lingered on his body, frantically corroding him!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face turned grim. He hurriedly activated his bloodline power.
Boom!
As the bloodline power surged, the flames were dispelled!
Ye Xuan looked up at the demon beast, now enveloped in deep blue flames!
Frowning, he asked, “Little Brush, what kind of demon beast is this?”
The Great Dao Brush replied solemnly, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, the beast charged forward, a burst of flames shooting out!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with ferocity. “Who’s afraid of who?”
With that, he gripped his sword and charged at the beast!
Fight!
Admittedly, Ye Xuan’s temper had flared up!
Since his breakthrough, when had he ever endured such frustration?
Just do it!
And so, man and beast clashed in a fierce battle!
Nearby, Xue Qing and the others’ faces grew increasingly grim!
They realised Ye Xuan was fighting the beast evenly!
They knew how strong that beast was. Over countless years, many Heavenly Dao Realm experts had tried to ascend Dao Mountain, only to be torn apart by this beast or to flee after a couple of rounds!
Someone like Ye Xuan, able to fight the beast on equal terms, was almost unheard of. At least, they had never seen it!
At that moment, Xue Qing said gravely, “That beast can’t kill him!”
They could see it now!
The beast couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan!
Xue Qing added, “If he wins, the three of us are doomed!”
Glancing at Zhao Mu and Li Feng, he said, “We need a backup plan!”
Zhao Mu asked grimly, “What backup plan?”
Xue Qing looked at Ye Xuan in the distance, saying nothing.
The battle continued!
This time, Ye Xuan didn’t fight head-on but adopted guerrilla tactics!
With the Qingxuan Sword, he could break the beast’s defence. Soon, the beast was covered in sword wounds, but Ye Xuan’s face soon darkened!
He discovered the beast could heal itself!
It was simply perverse!
Ye Xuan was getting frustrated!
But he wasn’t afraid. The pills Dan Chen had refined for him finally came in handy!
If his body wasn’t enough, the pills would make up for it!
And so, man and beast fought from morning to night, then from night to day…
Days later, what started as an even fight began to tilt in Ye Xuan’s favour!
Thanks to his Mad Demon Bloodline!
This bloodline grew stronger and more perverse the longer and crazier the fight!
At first, Ye Xuan was rational, but after fighting for so long, he started to go mad!
Every sword strike broke the beast’s defence!
Another day passed.
Boom!
In the sky, a blood-red sword light erupted, and the beast was sent flying a thousand zhang by Ye Xuan’s strike. As it stopped, dozens more sword lights slashed down!
Boom…
The beast was forced back another thousand zhang!
When it stopped, it let out a furious roar, shattering countless sword lights in an instant!
In the distance, Ye Xuan stood with his sword, the Qingxuan Sword trembling slightly in his hand.
Ye Xuan felt his right hand had gone completely numb!
Utterly numb!
This demon beast was just too tough!
Without the Qingxuan Sword, he wouldn’t even have scratched its hide!
In the distance, the beast seemed to calm down. It realised this human wasn’t as weak as it thought.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan said, “Shall we talk?”
Talk?
The beast’s expression turned ferocious. With a roar, it charged forward!
Keep fighting!
Talk?
The word “talk” didn’t exist in the beast’s dictionary!
Life and death didn’t matter. If you’re not convinced, fight!
Seeing the beast charge again, a cold smile curled Ye Xuan’s lips. He vanished from the spot!
If it’s a fight you want, let’s fight!
He’d see it through to the end!
Soon, man and beast were locked in battle again!
Xue Qing and the others had disappeared!
They didn’t dare stay. If Ye Xuan defeated the beast or if it retreated, they’d be done for!
After nearly three days and nights of fighting, both man and beast were covered in wounds!
At that moment, both stopped!
They were exhausted!
The beast glared at Ye Xuan. It was helpless. Normally, no human expert could fight it this long!
Even those of the same realm couldn’t endure like this!
But this human was different!
His body was formidable, and most importantly, he grew stronger the longer he fought!
In the distance, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes. “Sword Spirit, are you there?”
After a moment, the Sword Spirit replied, “I’m here!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “How can I break through my bloodline?”
The Sword Spirit said, “There are many ways, but for you, the fastest and simplest is to fight! Keep fighting to activate your bloodline!”
Fight!
Ye Xuan asked, “Just fighting will do?”
The Sword Spirit replied, “Of course not! It has to be life-and-death combat! In the face of life and death, your potential and your bloodline’s potential are most easily unleashed!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is there a quicker way?”
The Sword Spirit was silent for a moment, then said, “There is!”
Ye Xuan hurriedly asked, “What?”
The Sword Spirit said, “Devour bloodlines! Consume a powerful bloodline to feed your own. That works too!”
Devour bloodlines!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then asked, “Where do I find one?”
The Sword Spirit said, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan was speechless!
The Sword Spirit continued, “I just remembered one!”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “Who?”
The Sword Spirit said, “Er Ya’s bloodline! Her bloodline is incredibly powerful. If you devour it, you’d level up at least ten times!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened!
Devour Er Ya’s bloodline?
Leaving aside his father, he wasn’t even sure he could beat Er Ya!
The Sword Spirit continued, “Besides Er Ya’s bloodline, there’s another exceptional one!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “Who?”
The Sword Spirit said, “My master, your father’s bloodline! If you devour his bloodline… congratulations, you’d be invincible!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “Can you suggest someone I can actually beat?”
