Ye Xuan’s face turned utterly black!
Sod it!
King of Backers?
Am I really that famous?
Seeing his expression, An Lanxiu shook her head with a faint smile. She took his hand, saying nothing.
The black-armoured man stared at Ye Xuan. “I can see the world below!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “You’re the guardian of the Void Truth World?”
The man nodded.
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why let people from the Void Truth World come down, yet block those from below going up?”
After a brief silence, the guardian replied, “Those who descend are usually too strong to stop. Those who ascend are usually weaker, easier to bully!”
Ye Xuan’s face froze.
That answer left him utterly speechless!
The guardian fixed his eyes on Ye Xuan. “One-on-one!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I want two-on-one!”
With that, he vanished.
The guardian’s eyes narrowed. He thrust his spear forward.
BOOM!
The thrust boiled the entire star-river!
Ye Xuan’s sword met the spear-tip.
BOOM!
The spear shuddered. The guardian staggered back. Mid-retreat, a second spear streaked in.
His pupils shrank. He blocked horizontally.
BANG!
Gun-light shattered. He was hurled tens of thousands of zhang away.
Before he stopped, a flying sword slashed down.
BOOM!
He retreated again. Cracks spider-webbed across his black armour!
An Lanxiu prepared another strike. The guardian suddenly shouted, voice trembling, “Big brother, stop! We’re on the same side!”
Same side!
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu froze.
The guardian quavered, “Big brother, I came from the world below too!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “From below?”
The guardian nodded frantically. “Yes, yes!”
Ye Xuan stared. “Then what are you doing here?”
The guardian replied, trembling, “I couldn’t pass what lies ahead! So I linger here, hoping to rob a few spirit crystals!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Bloody hell!
You really know how to live!
The guardian continued, “Ahead lies the Void Truth Forbidden Zone. Beyond that lies the true Void Truth Path! All those corpses you saw drifted out from the Forbidden Zone! That place is truly horrifying. You must not enter!”
Ye Xuan looked into the distance, brow creased. “Void Truth Forbidden Zone?”
The guardian nodded. “Exactly! Super terrifying!”
Ye Xuan said, “Tell me more!”
The guardian intoned, “I don’t know the details, but almost everyone who enters dies! I suspect a supreme expert resides there!”
Ye Xuan exchanged a glance with An Lanxiu, then grinned. “Let’s go!”
An Lanxiu nodded.
They strode onward.
The guardian hesitated, then called, “You’re really going?”
Ye Xuan glanced back. “Don’t you think I’m strong?”
The guardian’s face stiffened.
Bloody hell!
Are you showing off?
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, then vanished with An Lanxiu.
After a moment, the guardian followed.
…
Soon, Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu reached a black river. Beyond it lay pitch darkness; even starlight could not penetrate.
The Void Truth Forbidden Zone!
Ye Xuan released his divine sense. The moment it touched the zone, a mysterious force erased it!
Impossible to enter!
Ye Xuan frowned.
An Lanxiu suddenly declared, “Kill our way in!”
Ye Xuan nodded. Both vanished.
BOOM!
Moments later, the Forbidden Zone erupted. Terrifying shock-waves rippled outward.
The pursuing guardian watched, face grave.
Inside the Void Truth Forbidden Zone.
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu wore solemn expressions.
Before them stood a bull-headed colossus, dozens of zhang tall, wielding a heaven-splitting axe. Crimson eyes blazed. Blood-red chains coiled around its body. Its aura could crush worlds!
So strong!
Ye Xuan fell silent. This monster far surpassed the High Priest who had received countless blessings!
The bull-man loomed over Ye Xuan. Crushing pressure bore down!
Ye Xuan barked, “Attack!”
He became sword-light and vanished!
An Lanxiu vanished alongside!
The colossus swung its axe downward!
BOOM!
Apocalyptic force crashed down.
BOOM!
Sword-light and spear-light shattered. Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu retreated, hurled clear out of the Forbidden Zone!
Outside, Ye Xuan halted. His right arm split open, blood spraying!
A trickle of blood escaped An Lanxiu’s lips!
They exchanged shocked glances!
Such terrifying power!
Ye Xuan gazed at the zone, murmuring, “No wonder so many were stopped here!”
This bull-man was far mightier than the blessed High Priest!
The black-armoured guardian approached. He glanced at them. “Impressive, right?”
Ye Xuan asked, “How long have you been here?”
The guardian answered softly, “Roughly ten million years!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Don’t you feel lonely?”
The guardian’s face stiffened. After a pause, he shook his head. “Loneliness is nothing.”
Ye Xuan asked, “Do you know the bull-man’s origin?”
The guardian shook his head. “No clue! It was already here when I arrived!”
After a moment’s silence, Ye Xuan turned to An Lanxiu. “Again!”
An Lanxiu nodded.
They charged back in. Soon, thunderous explosions shook the outer world, shattering space itself.
Before long, they retreated once more, blood at their lips.
Ye Xuan glanced at his trembling hand, then at An Lanxiu. “Into the tower!”
They entered the Little Tower.
The guardian stood dumbfounded.
Cultivation!
Inside the Little Tower, another millennium passed in a blink!
Outside, only a hundred days!
One day, Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu reappeared. They exchanged a glance, then charged into the Forbidden Zone.
Inside, Ye Xuan spread his palm. Instantly, countless Mortal Sword Intents surged like rivers into his hand. Overwhelming sword intent blanketed the heavens!
The bull-man looked down. Ye Xuan pointed and slashed.
BUZZ!
A sword-cry pierced the firmament. Millions of intent-swords slashed toward the colossus!
Simultaneously, An Lanxiu became spear-light and vanished!
HISS!
Spacetime tore!
The colossus raised its axe and smashed!
Space twisted, then shattered. Volcanic power erupted!
BOOM!
The entire Forbidden Zone boiled, then began to collapse.
BOOM!
Another explosion. Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu retreated beyond the zone.
Ye Xuan stared at his trembling Azure Abyss Sword, silent.
This bull-colossus was ferocious!
He turned to An Lanxiu. She said calmly, “Into the tower!”
They entered again.
Little Pen’s voice drifted out, “Finally, the Little Tower proves useful!”
Little Tower: “…”
Now Ye Xuan truly devoted himself to cultivation.
He had completely let go of the Academy.
It was on the right track; no major chaos would arise for a very long time.
Cultivation knows no years. Another millennium flashed by.
This time, when they emerged, Ye Xuan looked weathered.
Outside, merely another hundred days!
Ye Xuan glanced at An Lanxiu. She said calmly, “Go!”
Both vanished, reappearing inside the Forbidden Zone!
The bull-colossus’s head ached at the sight!
Ye Xuan wasted no words. He spread his palm. “Swords, come!”
Instantly, endless Mortal Sword Intents flooded toward him like a tide!
After another century, his sword intent was incomparable. The moment it appeared, terrifying sword momentum locked onto the colossus!
Gravity filled the monster’s eyes!
It could feel these two humans had grown far, far stronger!
How did they cultivate?
Every century they vanished, they returned transformed. Utterly absurd!
Ye Xuan charged. Countless Mortal Swords became sword-lights slashing down. Simultaneously, An Lanxiu vanished!
Both struck together!
Facing the infinite swords, savage light flashed in the colossus’s eyes. It roared forward, swinging its axe in a heaven-sweeping arc!
BOOM!
Countless sword-lights winked out, yet sword-gashes bloomed across its body, blood gushing. An Lanxiu’s spear struck. It staggered thousands of zhang back!
Silence returned!
Ye Xuan and An Lanxiu wiped blood from their lips.
The colossus was gravely wounded, drenched in blood, sword-marks everywhere.
They exchanged a glance. Ye Xuan faced the monster. “Wait here!”
They turned to leave!
The colossus suddenly bellowed, “Stop playing! Pass through!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
…
Ten years inside the tower equals one day outside. One millennium inside should be roughly one hundred days outside.
I miscalculated!
