In the city, Ye Xuan brought Ye Ling to a noodle shop.
Ye Xuan looked at the shop owner and smiled. “Two bowls of noodles, please!”
The owner glanced at Ye Xuan, grinned broadly, and said, “Coming right up!”
Ye Xuan looked around and smiled. “Qingcheng hasn’t changed much at all!”
Ye Ling nodded slightly. “In the past, I really disliked the Ye Clan, but now I have grown rather fond of this place, because it holds so many wonderful memories of me and my brother.”
Ye Xuan nodded too. In the past, he had also disliked this place, so he rarely returned.
But now that he was back, he realised he no longer hated it, nor did he hate the old Ye Clan.
Those hardships he had suffered in the Ye Clan all those years ago now seemed, well, not that bad after all.
At that moment, the owner suddenly brought over two bowls of noodles. “Here you are, honoured guests!”
Ye Xuan was about to pick up his chopsticks when the space beside him trembled slightly and a transmission message flew out.
Ye Xuan frowned a little.
Ye Ling said softly, “Do you have something urgent to attend to?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “No rush. We’ll deal with it after we finish eating!”
With that, he started eating.
Ye Ling glanced at Ye Xuan, gave a small smile, and began to eat too.
The brother and sister ate slowly, chatting and laughing together.
At that moment, a black-clothed figure suddenly appeared not far behind Ye Xuan.
It was An You.
An You looked at Ye Xuan and Ye Ling, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Ye Ling glanced at the black-clothed person, then turned to Ye Xuan and said softly, “Brother, go and take care of things.”
Ye Xuan swallowed the last noodle, looked at Ye Ling, and smiled. “No hurry. Finish your meal first, then we’ll go together.”
Ye Ling smiled sweetly. “Alright!”
She continued eating.
Ye Xuan watched her, and without realising it, a smile appeared on his face.
His heart had never been this peaceful before.
The Great Path?
Immortality?
None of it was worth as much as one smile from his little Ling’er.
Suddenly, Ye Ling put down her bowl. She looked at Ye Xuan and smiled. “Brother, I’m done! Go and be busy now!”
Ye Xuan smiled and reached out his hand.
Ye Ling blinked in surprise. Ye Xuan laughed. “Come with me!”
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, “Brother, my strength is weak. I won’t be able to help you. I won’t go. I’ve already had a very happy day today. You go and do what you need to do, really!”
Ye Xuan just shook his head.
Ye Ling stared at him for a while, then gave a brilliant smile, reached out, and took his hand. Ye Xuan laughed. “Let’s go!”
With that, he pulled Ye Ling along and vanished on the spot.
An You disappeared as well.
…
The Void-Reality Battlefield.
Ye Xuan brought Ye Ling to the Void-Reality Battlefield, where Qin Guan was already waiting.
Beside Qin Guan stood the Sin King.
The Sin King’s expression was extremely grave.
Ye Xuan looked into the distance. At the very end of the horizon stretched a colossal golden avenue nearly a million zhang wide. The other end of the avenue disappeared into the folds of space-time.
It stretched as far as the eye could see.
The entire golden avenue was formed from mysterious golden runes, utterly enigmatic.
Ye Xuan turned to the Sin King, who spoke in a low voice. “Young Master Ye, this is the legendary ‘Void-Reality Great Path’. When this path appears, it means a universe is about to be destroyed. According to records, it has appeared more than a million times, and every single time, a universe perished without exception.”
Ye Xuan smiled. “It seems the True God of the True Realm intends to wipe out my Guanxuan Universe.”
The Sin King nodded. “Yes.”
A complicated look flashed through his eyes. He had originally thought that the True God would not notice this place for quite some time, but he had never expected the True God not only to take notice, but to strike with lethal intent right away.
He was deeply worried.
The Sin King looked at the Void-Reality Great Path. In the True Realm, what kind of existence was the True God?
It was an invincible being that made people tremble just thinking about it.
At that moment, the Boundless Lord suddenly appeared beside Ye Xuan. He glanced at the golden avenue and laughed. “They’re coming in hard this time!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “You’ll go first in a bit?”
The Boundless Lord’s face instantly darkened. Damn it, you always try to trick me!
Qin Guan walked over to Ye Xuan and said softly, “They’re here!”
Ye Xuan nodded and looked towards the golden avenue.
At that moment, a middle-aged man slowly walked out from the avenue. The man was burly with a full head of red hair and wore a crimson flaming battle robe that fluttered without wind. An extremely powerful aura emanated from his entire body. The instant he appeared, the entire Void-Reality Battlefield began to turn illusory.
The middle-aged man swept his gaze across the field and frowned slightly. “What a low-grade universe!”
Beside Ye Xuan, the Sin King said in a trembling voice, “He is Yuan Wu Emperor, one of the ten great emperors under the True God!”
Yuan Wu Emperor!
The Boundless Lord suddenly burst out laughing. “One of the ten divine emperors? Let me test you first!”
With those words, he charged forward.
In the distance, Yuan Wu Emperor frowned, then threw a punch.
Boom!
In an instant, the punch turned everything within tens of millions of li into nothingness!
Bang!
At the same time, the Boundless Lord was sent flying a million zhang backwards.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned.
After the Boundless Lord stopped, he looked at his right hand. It had completely split open, revealing white bone.
The Boundless Lord was stunned.
Yuan Wu Emperor glanced at him. “Not that weak!”
Ye Xuan immediately burst out laughing.
The Boundless Lord’s face darkened. He stared at Yuan Wu Emperor. “Again!”
With that, he spread his palm. Countless Great Path seals instantly condensed in his hand. The next moment, he vanished.
Boom!
In the field, a flaming Great Path seal shot explosively towards Yuan Wu Emperor!
On the Void-Reality Great Path, Yuan Wu Emperor remained calm and threw another punch.
Boom!
In an instant, the Boundless Lord was blasted a million zhang away!
When he stopped, his physical body cracked open and blood sprayed out.
The Boundless Lord fell silent.
Ye Xuan looked at him, also silent.
This fellow wouldn’t be demoralised, would he?
The Boundless Lord suddenly looked at Ye Xuan and gave a faint smile. “Little Xuan, I think I’m falling behind the times a bit!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!”
“Haha!”
The Boundless Lord immediately roared with laughter.
Ye Xuan smiled too, then looked at Yuan Wu Emperor. “Are you the only one?”
Yuan Wu Emperor looked at Ye Xuan. “Are you the strongest in this universe?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Of course!”
Yuan Wu Emperor sized him up, then said, “I have killed over ten thousand sword cultivators!”
Ye Xuan laughed loudly. “You probably can’t kill me!”
Yuan Wu Emperor said calmly, “Is that so?”
Ye Xuan nodded and smiled. “Even your True God couldn’t kill me! Because I know summoning arts!”
Yuan Wu Emperor stared at Ye Xuan. “I have also killed plenty of summoners!”
Ye Xuan laughed again. Looking at Yuan Wu Emperor, he said, “If it’s just you alone, you definitely cannot destroy our Guanxuan Universe!”
Yuan Wu Emperor nodded slightly. “Rest assured, I’m not alone! However, I want to try by myself first!”
Ye Xuan suddenly stepped forward and smiled. “Then let’s try!”
With those words, he spread his palm. In an instant, a sword shot into the sky.
It was not the Azure Profound Sword, but the Human Realm Sword!
High in the sky, the Human Realm Sword slashed down!
Yuan Wu Emperor threw a punch!
Boom!
A terrifying aura swept out from his fist.
Boom!
This punch forcibly halted Ye Xuan’s Human Realm Sword. But at that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly vanished!
Yuan Wu Emperor’s eyes narrowed. He pulled his right fist back, then threw another punch!
Boom!
A expanse of sword light shattered instantly!
Yuan Wu Emperor was forced back nearly a hundred zhang!
By then, Ye Xuan had already returned to his original position.
The Boundless Lord looked at Ye Xuan in shock. “Why has your strength become so much greater?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “I’ve always been this strong. It’s just that my enemies have always been abnormal, haha!”
The Boundless Lord fell silent. Not only are your enemies abnormal, your sister is abnormal too.
Of course, abnormally strong.
No, your whole family is abnormally strong!
On the Void-Reality Great Path, Yuan Wu Emperor glanced at his fist. There was a sword mark on it. After a moment of silence, he looked at Ye Xuan in the distance. “Faith Sword Dao!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly and smiled. “Let’s not waste any more time! Call all your people out!”
Yet Yuan Wu Emperor shook his head. “I want to try a bit more!”
With those words, he suddenly stepped forward.
One step, and he was right in front of Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan suddenly thrust his sword!
This thrust still did not use the Azure Profound Sword, but it contained the sword intent of tens of millions in the human realm!
Boom!
An expanse of sword light suddenly erupted in front of Ye Xuan!
Boom!
Under everyone’s gaze, Yuan Wu Emperor was suddenly forced back to his original spot. He looked down at his fist. A deep sword mark was now upon it!
Seeing this, Yuan Wu Emperor’s eyes narrowed.
In Ye Xuan’s mind, Xiao Hun’s voice suddenly rang out. “Little Master, use me and you can definitely kill him!”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “It’s fine!”
Xiao Hun said softly, “Little Master…”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you just to break through to godhood!”
Xiao Hun immediately grinned. “Good!”
Ye Xuan looked at Yuan Wu Emperor in the distance and smiled. “Call your people!”
Yuan Wu Emperor nodded slightly. “Very well!”
With those words, he suddenly raised his right hand.
Boom!
Suddenly, the sound of countless hooves thundered from behind the Void-Reality Great Path!
At that moment, the entire Void-Reality Battlefield trembled violently, as if a great earthquake had struck!
Soon, one hundred thousand cavalry wearing flaming armour slowly rode out from the path. They were perfectly uniform, each holding a flaming spear, radiating an extremely terrifying aura. The instant they appeared, the entire Void-Reality Battlefield began to shatter inch by inch!
It simply could not withstand their power!
Seeing this, the Boundless Lord’s expression instantly turned grave!
What terrifying auras!
Only now did he realise that they had severely underestimated the strength of the True Realm!
And then, behind the cavalry, three hundred thousand infantry in flaming battle armour marched out in unison!
The moment they appeared, a mighty momentum swept through heaven and earth. That momentum alone could crush this entire world!
Yet it was not over. Behind the infantry, more than a thousand giants marched out together. Each giant was a hundred zhang tall, holding a spear in the left hand and a shield in the right. They stood there, faces ferocious, eyes filled with murderous malice, radiating a bloodthirsty aura that chilled the soul.
Seeing these thousand giants, the Sin King beside Ye Xuan said in a trembling voice, “This is the legendary Heavenly God Giant Clan! They are one of the oldest races in the True Realm. Long ago they submitted to the True God. When conquering universes, their favourite thing is to devour the living beings of those universes raw…”
Heavenly God Giant Clan!
Ye Xuan glanced at the thousand giants. He had to admit their auras were indeed extraordinarily powerful. If they charged into battle, they would be utterly terrifying.
At that moment, Qin Guan spread her palm. The next instant, the small tower appeared in her hand, and then nearly a million experts materialised behind them!
These were the million strongest fighters the Guanxuan Universe currently possessed!
At this moment, all one million wore expressions of utmost gravity!
Especially those Void-Reality experts who had survived from the previous era. Their faces were more serious than ever, because they realised that compared to the divine spirits of that previous era, these ones were simply far, far stronger!
They were not even on the same level!
Yuan Wu Emperor glanced at the experts behind Ye Xuan, then said, “Before coming, my master instructed us not to underestimate the enemy! Yet even now, I still feel your universe is very weak! Normally, a universe of your level would not warrant me or my army taking action.”
He looked around again and continued, “However, since the True God told me to do this, she must have her reasons!”
Ye Xuan suddenly turned to the Boundless Lord. The Boundless Lord’s eyelid twitched. “Don’t look at me. I’m just a little brother now, I’ll follow your lead!”
Ye Xuan laughed loudly. At that moment, a woman walked up beside him. It was Hong Chen, and right after, Qin Tiandao also appeared beside Ye Xuan.
Seeing the lineup before them, both Hong Chen and Qin Tiandao grew solemn!
This formation was truly somewhat beyond their expectations!
In the distance, the Sin King glanced around, then quietly took a few steps back.
If Young Master Ye called for help, he would fight desperately!
If Young Master Ye did not call for help, he would slip away!
It might be a little immoral, but staying alive was more important!
In cultivation, one must play it safe!
At that moment, Yuan Wu Emperor suddenly shouted, “Kill!”
No more nonsense!
The instant the word left his mouth, one of the Heavenly God Giants suddenly laughed maniacally. “Let me devour this lowly creature alive!”
With that, he leaped forward and thrust his spear straight at Ye Xuan, a force powerful enough to destroy an entire starry universe.
Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm!
Just as he was about to act, a sword hum suddenly resounded from the heavens. The next moment, a streak of sword light slashed directly at the Heavenly God Giant!
The giant’s face changed drastically. He hastily raised his shield to block!
Chi!
Under everyone’s gaze, the sword light tore straight through the giant’s shield, then sliced across his abdomen!
Chi!
The Heavenly God Giant was cut clean in half at the waist!
Everyone looked up into the sky. There, a woman slowly descended!
Seeing her, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly.
It was Ye Qingqing!
Ye Qingqing walked over with sword in hand, came to Ye Xuan’s side, and said nothing.
Buzz!
At that moment, another sword hum rang out.
Everyone looked up. Space-time tore open in the sky, and a white-robed woman slowly walked out!
Tu!
Almost simultaneously, to Tu’s right, space-time cracked again, and a woman in a plain dress slowly emerged!
Plain Dress Qing’er!
Tu and Plain Dress Qing’er came before Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan smiled slightly but said nothing!
The two women said nothing either, simply standing quietly by his side!
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Ye Xuan. “Ye Bandit!”
Ye Xuan blinked, then turned. In the distance, space-time split open, and a man stepped out. Leading them was Mo Yunqi.
Behind Mo Yunqi were Bai Ze, Ji Anzhi, An Lanxiu, Jiang Jiu, Ji Anzhi, Tuoba Yan, Lian Wanli, Yue Qi, Jian Zizai, Zhang Wenxiu, Xiao Dao, Dao Yi, Qian Mo, Great Priest A Mu, Mu Xiaodao, Xiao E, Xiao An, A Daoling, An Lianyun, Tian Yan, Qin Guan, Xian Gu Yao, Yan Bei, Xiu Fan, Shen Lan, Na Jia Lou, Wei Yangtian, the Painter…
So many familiar faces!
Seeing everyone, Ye Xuan was stunned.
At that moment, Qin Guan beside him suddenly smiled. “I had the Immortal Treasure Pavilion bring them here. No matter the outcome of this final battle, let there be no regrets!”
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Guan and smiled. “Thank you!”
Qin Guan smiled slightly and said nothing.
“Haha!”
At that moment, a loud laugh rang out from within the transmission array, and then a middle-aged man walked out!
Seeing the newcomer, Ye Xuan was stunned again!
It was the Ninth Floor!
It had been such a long, long time!
The Ninth Floor looked at Ye Xuan, did not approach, just smiled and waved.
Ye Xuan smiled back. At that moment, a woman suddenly appeared beside him.
It was An Lanxiu!
An Lanxiu glanced at him, then turned to face the divine army!
At that moment, another woman appeared on Ye Xuan’s right. It was Qingqiu!
Ye Xuan turned to Qingqiu and smiled. “When did you break through to godhood?”
Qingqiu looked at Ye Xuan and said softly, “You are my god. Whenever you break through to godhood, that is when I will. If you do not, I will accompany you forever.”
Ye Xuan blinked, then laughed heartily. After laughing for a while, he turned to the divine army, about to speak, when suddenly space-time tore open far in the sky.
Boom!
A sword cultivator in a cloud-white robe slowly walked out!
Big Brother?
Ye Xuan was stunned.
The sword cultivator looked at Ye Xuan and gave a slight smile, saying nothing.
“Haha!”
At that moment, to the sword cultivator’s right, space-time tore open again, and a loud laugh rang out. “Son, your dad is here!”
With those words, a sword cultivator in a green shirt strode out.
Green Shirt Sword Master!
On the left of the Green Shirt Sword Master followed a strangely dressed little girl with two horns on her head, licking a lollipop. On her shoulder crouched a fluffy white little creature.
At that moment, the white creature was looking around curiously with bright eyes.
Hearing the Green Shirt Sword Master’s words, Ye Xuan’s face instantly darkened!
After coming out, the Green Shirt Sword Master looked at Ye Xuan and laughed. “Surprised? Happy?”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Everyone: “…”
At that moment, a Heavenly God Giant suddenly glared at the green-shirted man, eyes filled with malice. “Are you lot done?”
With those words, he leaped forward and thrust his spear straight at the green-shirted man!
The green-shirted man frowned, turned, and swung his sword!
Chi!
Before anyone could react, the Heavenly God Giant’s head flew hundreds of thousands of zhang away!
Everyone was stunned!
Yuan Wu Emperor’s expression instantly turned grave!
The green-shirted man swept his gaze across the Heavenly God Giant Clan and said calmly, “I’m actually very weak. Would you like to try again?”
Everyone: “…”
At that moment, the Free and Unfettered Sword Cultivator smiled slightly. “Calm yourself. Today is your son’s show!”
The green-shirted man laughed loudly. “Right, right!”
He looked down at Ye Xuan and smiled. “Son, you perform!”
Ye Xuan felt a headache coming on. “Dad, if you really can’t handle it, just go and do your own thing! Really… I won’t blame you!”
The green-shirted man’s face darkened. “What are you saying? I’m your father, your real father!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
At that moment, the leading Yuan Wu Emperor suddenly spread his palm. A flaming token shot into the sky and disappeared deep into the starry expanse!
Calling for reinforcements!
Yuan Wu Emperor stared at the green-shirted man, his face filled with gravity!
He had underestimated them!
He needed to call for help!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan beside him was utterly speechless.
This old man had come to make things harder for him!
Damn it!
He was truly done for!
At that moment, from deep within the Void-Reality Great Path, wave after wave of terrifying auras surged towards them!
Sensing these terrifying auras, everyone’s expressions in the Guanxuan Universe’s side turned extremely grave!
After a long silence, Ye Xuan suddenly smiled. “Qing’er!”
“I’m here!”
The moment the words sounded, space-time tore open in front of Ye Xuan. A woman in a plain dress slowly walked out. She came before Ye Xuan and said softly, “I have always been here!”
The three swords were now assembled!
Looking at the woman before him, a brilliant smile spread across Ye Xuan’s face.
Seeing the plain-dress woman, the green-shirted man suddenly laughed loudly. “Destiny, how about the three of us have a proper fight today?”
The Free and Unfettered Sword Cultivator quickly nodded. “I’m in!”
The plain-dress woman glanced at the two of them. “Have you forgotten how I beat you both all those years ago?”
Hearing this, the expressions of the green-shirted man and the Free and Unfettered Sword Cultivator froze.
The green-shirted man said seriously, “Things are different now! To be honest, I’ve been looking for a defeat for a long time! Being invincible for so long is just too damn painful!”
Everyone: “…”
Destiny said calmly, “I am invincible. You two do as you please!”
The green-shirted man’s face darkened!
The Free and Unfettered Sword Cultivator shook his head with a smile, though mostly he was excited. Finally, he could have a proper fight!
Being invincible was truly lonely!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “How about you wait for me a little?”
The three swords looked at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan smiled slightly. “No problem, right?”
Destiny nodded. “Alright!”
The green-shirted man smiled. “Of course!”
The Free and Unfettered Sword Cultivator nodded. “Alright!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily!
At that moment, powerful auras surged like tidal waves from within the Void-Reality Great Path!
At this instant, the faces of everyone on the Guanxuan Universe side became incomparably grave!
Ye Xuan slowly turned his head and looked over all those familiar faces. After taking them all in, he gave a slight smile, then took the hand of the plain-dress woman, turned to face the Void-Reality Great Path, and after a long moment, said softly, “Qing’er, my era has ended!”
The End.
…….
