**Kill!**
In the arena, no one expected Ye Xuan to show no respect to Qiu Yuan. After all, Qiu Yuan was the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Empire, a true figure of immense power!
Moreover, he represented the Yuan Empire!
What was the Yuan Empire?
It was the undisputed hegemon of the Four Directions Universe!
For countless years, no force had been able to shake its dominant position!
As the Grand Marshal, Qiu Yuan controlled nearly eighty percent of the Yuan Empire’s elite forces. In the entire Four Directions Universe, his influence and resources were undoubtedly among the top five!
The power and resources such a person wielded were terrifying!
Around the combat platform, everyone watched Ye Xuan, their expressions varied.
Some gloated, some were indifferent, others were curious!
Those paying close attention noticed that the elder Ye Xuan had just killed had announced his affiliation, yet Ye Xuan still dared to kill him!
That was intriguing!
Below the platform, Qiu Yuan’s expression remained calm upon seeing Qiu Lan’s death, not even a flicker in his eyes.
But at that moment, a shadowy figure emerged from behind him and charged toward Ye Xuan on the platform!
Suddenly, a woman in purple appeared in front of Ye Xuan, sweeping her sleeve.
**Boom!**
Under everyone’s gaze, the shadowy figure was blasted back to its original position!
The purple-clad woman coldly glanced at the shadow, then turned to Qiu Yuan, “You should know the rules of the Wild Ancient Battle List!”
The rules of the Wild Ancient Battle List!
Anyone on the list standing on this platform was untouchable unless challenged, but challenges had restrictions!
The Wild Ancient Battle List refreshed every three hundred years, meaning those over three hundred years old couldn’t be listed after the previous cycle.
Qiu Yuan and the shadow were clearly over three hundred years old!
Qiu Yuan glanced at the purple-clad woman, then looked at Ye Xuan, “Kill this man, and I’ll reward ten million ancient crystals!”
**Ten million ancient crystals!**
The crowd erupted!
Ten million ancient crystals was an enormous sum!
But Ye Xuan frowned.
This old man was too stingy!
He already had several billion ancient crystals!
At that moment, a storage ring flew into the Wild Ancient List. The next moment, a man in white appeared not far from Ye Xuan!
The purple-clad woman glanced at Ye Xuan, then turned to leave.
Ye Xuan suddenly called out, “Thank you, miss!”
The purple-clad woman turned back, “Thanking me?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
She stared at him, “I’m not helping you. I’m upholding the order of the Wild Ancient Battle List, understand?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Understood!”
The purple-clad woman left.
She wouldn’t show favor to Ye Xuan. Doing so now would only invite trouble!
The Yuan Empire was a colossal entity she didn’t want to provoke!
After she left, the man in white looked at Ye Xuan, grinning, “Ten million ancient crystals! I’m taking it!”
Ye Xuan suddenly vanished from his spot!
**Boom!**
The space in front of the man in white split apart!
His pupils shrank, and he quickly raised his arms to block!
**Boom!**
Under the crowd’s gaze, the man in white was forced back to the edge of the platform. As he stopped, Ye Xuan appeared above him, stomping down fiercely!
**Boom!**
The man in white was obliterated!
Below the platform, silence fell!
Another instant kill!
This man in white was ranked fifteenth!
Fifteenth, and still instantly killed?
Ye Xuan glanced at his right hand, eyes gleaming with excitement.
Invincible!
Invincible below the Human Realm!
Gu hadn’t lied to him!
At that moment, he felt deep regret.
Why had he been competing with those old monsters? Wasn’t it better to fight peers?
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan turned and scanned the crowd, “Who’s next!”
The crowd: “…”
Below, Qiu Yuan looked at Ye Xuan and suddenly said, “Kill this man, twenty million ancient crystals!”
**Twenty million!**
The price increased!
The crowd below erupted, their gazes on Ye Xuan shifting!
Killing Ye Xuan meant twenty million ancient crystals!
What did that mean?
Kill one man, change your fate!
Though tempted, no one moved. Ye Xuan had just instantly killed the fifteenth-ranked fighter!
But with great rewards come brave souls!
At that moment, a white light appeared before Ye Xuan, and a man holding a long spear emerged!
“Wild Ancient List, tenth!”
Someone in the crowd exclaimed!
Ye Xuan looked at the man. On his left chest was a small badge with the number ten!
Wild Ancient List, tenth!
Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly. Finally, a worthy opponent!
This man was in the Human Realm!
The man looked at Ye Xuan, twirling his right hand.
**Boom!**
A terrifying aura surged toward Ye Xuan!
Spear momentum!
From a distance, Ye Xuan swept his sleeve.
**Boom!**
The ancient aura shattered instantly!
At that moment, the man vanished, a glint of cold light appearing before Ye Xuan.
**Rip!**
The space shattered!
Ye Xuan didn’t dodge, letting the spear strike his chest.
**Bang!**
Ye Xuan was pushed back several yards, but his body didn’t break. The man, however, was flung thousands of feet away!
As he stopped, the man looked up at Ye Xuan, his eyes grave.
His spear had cracked, and a fist imprint marked his chest, left by Ye Xuan. His armor had absorbed most of the force; otherwise, that punch would’ve killed him!
People say sword cultivators are strong, but physical cultivators are the real headache!
If you can’t break their defense, you’re just a punching bag!
Ye Xuan patted his chest, looking at the man, “Continue!”
With that, he stomped his right foot.
**Boom!**
The platform trembled and cracked, and Ye Xuan shot forward with explosive force!
The man’s pupils shrank. He roared, thrusting his palm like a spear, unleashing countless spear lights!
**Rip!**
The space on the platform shattered layer by layer!
Then Ye Xuan’s fist arrived!
**Boom!**
Under everyone’s gaze, the spear lights shattered.
**Bang!**
The spearman flew out, crashing into the barrier at the platform’s edge. His body exploded, blood splattering!
His soul floated down. Ye Xuan appeared before him. The man raised his hands, “I surrender!”
Ye Xuan’s gaze grew cold.
The man quickly repeated, “I surrender!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Answer a question. Get it right, and I won’t kill you!”
The man looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan blinked, “If I lose and surrender, would you let me go?”
The man froze. The next moment, Ye Xuan stomped down!
**Boom!**
Under everyone’s gaze, the man’s soul shattered into nothingness.
Slain!
At that moment, the crowd’s expressions turned grave!
The tenth-ranked, a Human Realm cultivator, was killed!
On the platform, Ye Xuan turned to Qiu Yuan below, “Raise the price!”
**Raise the price!**
The crowd’s expressions turned strange!
Qiu Yuan suddenly said, “Kill this man, fifty million ancient crystals!”
**Fifty million!**
The crowd was stunned!
But more than that, they grew solemn!
Clearly, Qiu Yuan wanted the true prodigies of the Wild Ancient List to act!
Fifty million was incredibly tempting!
That amount could sustain a Human Realm cultivator’s practice for at least a thousand years!
The higher the realm, the greater the resource demands. Even super clans struggled to support a top genius!
Cultivation was insanely expensive!
At that moment, the Wild Ancient List trembled!
Seeing this, the crowd grew excited!
Someone else was coming!
Money’s power was undeniable!
Soon, a woman appeared before Ye Xuan. She wore a simple black dress, unadorned, her hair tied back in a single bundle. In her right hand floated a long ribbon!
Seeing her, someone exclaimed, “It’s Su Nü!”
Su Nü!
Wild Ancient List, second rank!
Her fame was immense. She’d climbed from hundredth to second in a single day!
Just one day!
Though she failed to challenge the first rank, it didn’t diminish her reputation!
No one expected this long-absent prodigy to appear today!
For the money?
From a distance, Su Nü looked at Ye Xuan, “Not for the money!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Not for the money?”
Su Nü nodded slightly, “I just want to spar with you!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Sure!”
Su Nü nodded, “Here I come!”
Before Ye Xuan could speak, his pupils shrank. Countless cold glints appeared around him.
**Rip rip rip rip!**
In an instant, tens of thousands of tearing sounds erupted from Ye Xuan’s body!
The crowd was horrified!
Ye Xuan clenched his fists.
**Boom!**
The cold glints shattered!
But Ye Xuan was forced back to the barrier’s edge!
His body didn’t break!
But his entire body turned blood-red.
The power was too strong!
And for the first time, he felt pain!
From a distance, Su Nü’s brows furrowed, “That’s… the legendary Ancient War Body!”
**Ancient War Body!**
The crowd froze!
The Ancient War Body!
The ancient sect’s supreme body-refining technique from the Southern Universe, hailed as the greatest of all time!
Was this guy from the Ancient Sect?
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan, eyes filled with curiosity.
Below, Qiu Yuan stared at Ye Xuan, lost in thought.
On the platform, Su Nü suddenly shook her head, “I can’t kill you!”
With that, she turned and left!
Thus, Ye Xuan jumped from tenth to second!
He glanced at the departing Su Nü, then looked down at Qiu Yuan, “Raise the money!”
**Raise the money!**
The crowd: “…”
…
