"Ye Xuan, aren't you going to continue comprehending our martial intents?"

That eighth-level unity realm expert looked at Ye Xuan fearfully.

"I'm done," Ye Xuan replied.

"Wait, you haven't comprehended my palm intent!"

The peak seventh-level unity realm expert spoke up.

This whole scene was rather comical. To an outsider, it almost seemed as if they were giving it away to Ye Xuan.

Were they friends?

If the other members of the Nether God sect were to see this, their jaws would drop.

"I appreciate your kind intentions, but it's about time. I should send you on your way!"

Ye Xuan smiled and looked at them, and then reached out and clenched his hand.

A dazzling azure divine sword suddenly appeared, which exuded terrifying sword intent.

They were finished!

Damn it!

What was the point of all that effort then? Had they really just benefited him for no reason?

"Did you really think I wouldn't be able to tell that you're just stalling for time?"

Ye Xuan slowly raised the azure divine sword.

These people clearly knew that they could not withstand his attacks, but still persevered for so long. It was obvious that they were stalling for time.

Furthermore, it was likely that the person they were waiting for was a pattern condensation realm expert.

"It's a pity that the person you've placed all your hopes on might not even be able to withstand one of my sword strikes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, sword qi that seemed to be able to split the heavens and earth erupted and instantly pierced the sky.

Eighth-level sword intent!

The whole world seemed to dim. It was as if the sword qi had taken the place of the sun.

"This power…"

The inner sect elders of the Nether God sect felt their hopes shatter at the sight of this.

The people who were watching from hundreds of miles away immediately paled and immediately clutched their chests

In that moment, they all felt their hearts briefly stop beating.

"Such sword intent…"

"How is this possible?"

"Ye Xuan, Who are you? How could a mere 20-year-old cultivator possess such terrifying strength?"

"Impossible! How can you possess such powerful sword intent?"

Everyone was terrified of the sword qi, be it the elders, or the onlookers.

"Is this Teacher's sword intent?"

Not far away, Yue and Li Qingyan were stunned as well.

This was the power of their teacher!

World-destroying sword qi!

Buzzzzzz!

At this moment, every sword cultivator suddenly felt their swords tremble wildly. Then, they all flew in Ye Xuan's direction, as if they were submitting to him.

Myriad swords greeting the king?

What was this grand phenomenon?

"What's going on?"

"Can someone explain this to me?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock when they saw this.

Many sword cultivators chose to use swords as their natal artifacts. These were refined with their owner's blood and nurtured with their spiritual power.

A cultivator could only have one natal artifact in their life. Furthermore, this natal artifact was tied to their soul. Some natal artifacts had even been refined to the point where the cultivator would live and die together with the natal artifact.

Yet, these artifacts that they had so tirelessly refined were trembling. Those regular magic artifacts had already flown over to Ye Xuan.

They even had a feeling that if they were not suppressing their natal artifacts, these would fly over to Ye Xuan as well.

Although the earlier battle had terrified everyone, the feeling Ye Xuan's sword qi gave them was different.

They were on completely different levels. Everything seemed to pale in comparison to that sword qi, and they could only stare in awe.

"Ye Xuan!"

"Who are you? You're definitely not a cultivator from the Great Qian Dynasty!"

It did not make sense. There was no way someone from such a backward place could achieve this. It even felt comparable to the aura their sect master exuded.

Even Elder Gongsun would not be able to withstand this domineering sword qi!

"Hahaha! I'm not an old monster!"

"I'm just an ordinary cultivator from the Qingyun sect!"

Ye Xuan stood in mid-air as he infused the destructive power of heavenly lightning intent into the sword qi.

"You guys should be on your way!"

He swung the azure divine sword and, for a moment, the world seemed to turn black and white, except for the blinding sword qi.

"Hahaha! What a joke!"

"I can't believe that the Nether God sect is going to fall into ruin because of a mere personal disciple."

"Countless years of effort have gone down the drain because of some stupid kid!"

In the face of this destructive power, some of the elders revealed a look of despair, while others began to curse and swear.

When Ye Xuan revealed his eighth-level sword intent, the elders had already realized it.

Even if the sect master himself came, he would definitely not be able to kill Ye Xuan.

There was no way for them to stop him from developing. It would not take long for him to become strong enough to lay waste to the Nether God sect. Furthermore, in time, he would definitely become the most powerful person in the Nanzhou Region.

There was no medicine for regret. However, at the very least, they would not see this come to pass with their own eyes.

When the destructive sword qi struck, the bodies and souls of the elders were instantly reduced to dust.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, and four storage rings appeared in his hand.

Moments later, Ye Xuan appeared in front of Yue and the others.

"Teacher!"

"Teacher, you were so amazing just now!"

Zhao Yuyan stared straight at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with admiration.

Although she did not understand how powerful Ye Xuan was, the dazzling sword qi had shaken her soul.

"We should set off!"

Ye Xuan smiled and patted Zhao Yuyan's head.

Immediately, everyone got on the black flame eagle, which turned into a black streak of light that flew toward the Qingyun sect.

After Ye Xuan and the others left, a great commotion erupted within the populace of the Golden Empire.

They had witnessed something unbelievable today.

Was that a fight between gods?

If so, was that person the sword god?

…

The headquarters of the Nether God sect was situated in the northwest of the Nanzhou Region.

It was a major force that had existed for thousands of years, and was revered by countless cultivators who dreamed of becoming one of its members.

This sect itself had many other forces, and even empires, under its command. Its headquarters itself was even larger than the entire territory of the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this moment, Elder Chen was standing outside a bronze temple in the Nether God sect's headquarters.

His face was full of apprehension, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

After splitting up with the other four elders, he had immediately rushed back here to look for the sect master.

Unfortunately, the sect master was still in secluded cultivation. Under normal circumstances, he would not have dared to disturb the sect master.

However, this matter concerned the survival of the Nether God sect, so he gritted his teeth and told the sect master everything.

Chapter 228: They All Died?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the sect master learned of what had happened, he only told Elder Chen one thing.

Three days later, he would leave secluded cultivation and kill Ye Xuan!

Therefore, even though Elder Chen was anxious, he had no way of influencing the sect master's decision.

Elder Chen had no choice but to wait outside the bronze temple. At the same time, he informed the Blood Moon Temple and Yunjin Templeof everything that had happened in the Radiant Sky Empire.

The sect master of the Nether God sect had his own considerations.

He had been in secluded cultivation this entire time, during which the Nether God sect had been developing smoothly. However, at the critical moment of his secluded cultivation, the Nether God sect was suddenly facing a crisis that threatened their existence.

After Elder Chen's explanation, he finally understood.

It turned out that the Nether God sect had provoked an extremely monstrous existence.

A 20-year-old seventh-level unity realm expert!

When he learned of this news, his Dao heart fluctuated.

Even he had never heard of such a monstrous feat.

If he had not reached a critical moment in his cultivation, he would have left immediately to kill Ye Xuan himself without hesitation to avoid future troubles.

However, he had been cultivating in the bronze temple for 20 years. Now that he was about to break through, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

No matter how monstrous Ye Xuan was, he was only a seventh-level unity realm expert.

As long as all the inner sect elders were dispatched, was there a reason to worry?

If they could not even handle a seventh-level unity realm expert, then they were a waste of cultivation resources.

Most importantly, even Elder Gongsun had been dispatched, so Ye Xuan's death was certain.

Therefore, although he was extremely shocked by Ye Xuan's cultivation talent, the sect master did not think that this was a crisis that would threaten the existence of the Nether God sect.

'I hope there won't be any accidents this time,' Elder Chen prayed inwardly.

That being said, he also personally felt that this matter had been overblown.

It was four versus one, perhaps even five if they teamed up with Elder Gongsun. In addition, they had the Nether God sect's formation. Even if Ye Xuan turned out to be an eighth-level unity realm expert, the result would still be the same.

"Elder Chen! It's an emergency!"

At this moment, a Nether God sect cultivator ran over in a panic.

"What's the matter?"

Elder Chen frowned as an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

This cultivator was in charge of the soul jade tokens of the personal disciples and inner sect elders.

"Elder Zhuge and the others' soul jade tokens have all shattered! They're dead!"

Boom!

Elder Chen's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He then turned into a streak of light and flew toward the soul temple where the soul jade tokens were kept.

As soon as he arrived at the soul temple, Elder Chen searched for the soul jade tokens of the four inner sect elders.

It was true!

They were all dead!

"How is this possible?"

Elder Chen was dumbfounded as he stared at the shattered jade tokens.

It had only been one day since they split up, and they were already all dead?

Who did this?

Was it Ye Xuan?

Or some other terrifying existence?

If it was Ye Xuan, then how strong was this guy?

With the formation activated, they should have been able to hold their own even against a ninth-level unity realm expert!

Who did it?

A terrifying being who could kill those four had to be at least as strong as Elder Gongsun.

Hu!

Thinking this, Elder Chen could not help but take a deep breath.

However, at this moment, another soul jade token shattered!

It was Elder Gongsun's!

A ninth-level unity realm expert had fallen!

Boom!

Elder Chen felt his head buzzing. It was as if a thunderclap had gone off in his head.

What was going on?

Did they all die at the hands of the same person, or?

Could it really be Ye Xuan's doing?

Had they died together, or?

However, no matter what the cause was, this was an enormous loss for the Nether God sect.

"We're finished this time!"

Elder Chen's face turned extremely pale, and he hurried over to the bronze temple.

However, he did not choose to disturb the clan leader. When that disciple had arrived to report, the sect master would have definitely heard the news.

Even so, the sect master had not done anything, which meant that the sect master had reached a critical moment in his cultivation and would not allow anyone or anything to disturb him.

In other words, he had to wait two more days before the sect master would leave secluded cultivation.

Although the sect master's breakthrough was a good thing, Elder Chen was still troubled. This loss had been too great.

Five inner sect elders, and the law enforcement elder, had fallen!

The Nether God sect had lost six top-notch experts!

Hu!

Elder Chen took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. Then, he turned around and left resolutely.

He knew in his heart that things had changed.

He had to pass on the latest information to the Blood Moon Temple and Yunjin Temple.
