487 One Sword Strike!

It was obvious that if Li Siyuan made the same choice again, not only would Su Changkong stand by and do nothing, but even the Immortal Divine sect might abandon him.

After all, the Immortal Divine sect was an ancient sect that had existed for countless years. It was impossible for them to choose to make an enemy out of another equally powerful sect just because a mere mystic lord realm elder had grudges with the other sect.

Li Siyuan naturally understood this, so he could only helplessly grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

At the same time, the Reincarnation Fairy was looking at Ye Xuan and the terrifyingly huge sword.

!!

"Uncle Situ, can you see the secret behind this sword technique?"

"How does it compare to our sect's judgment sword technique?"

She was very curious.

What level had Ye Xuan reached in terms of the Sword Dao? How did he learn such a terrifying sword technique?

Ever since she met Ye Xuan in Qingyang City back then, she had been fascinated by him.

How had such a monstrously talented expert remained unknown for a hundred years? Was there some sort of special reason behind this?

He had only shot to fame after the incident with the ape beast's precious bone. There were not even any rumors about him in the mystic world prior to that.

Had he shunned fame and glory? Was this the true demeanor of a peerless expert?

Over the years, she had been competing with Mu Beichen to see who was stronger, but after seeing Ye Xuan, she understood.

A true expert did not need to prove himself to anyone! True gold would always shine!

Situ Mo looked at Ye Xuan deeply, then sighed.

"Although our sect's judgment sword technique is powerful, Ye Xuan's sword technique very likely exceeds the constraints of the power of the laws."

His words shocked the cultivators from the Jade Lake Divine sect.

"Is his sword technique really that terrifying? To the point that even our sect's judgment sword cannot match it?"

"The two aren't even on the same level," Situ Mo said very seriously.

Hearing this, everyone felt a little disappointed.

The Great Wilderness Divine sect, the Immortal Divine sect, and the Jade Lake Divine sect were all top holy lands. However, it seemed that the Great Wilderness Divine sect was about to break away from the pack and rise up!

Buzzzzzz!

At this moment, the heaven devouring divine sparrow let out an ear-piercing cry. It seemed to have sensed some terrifying danger, and its wings were filled with the terrifying power of true fire. Clearly, this sense of danger came from that huge divine sword in the sky.

It immediately gave up on attacking the Pixiu and gathered all of its power, charging toward Ye Xuan. To the heaven devouring divine sparrow, Ye Xuan was the far bigger threat.

It opened its mouth, and a powerful suction force emerged as it tried to swallow Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan would naturally not allow this to happen. His peak-level mystic lord realm cultivation erupted. Although he had not reached the supreme realm, it would not stop him from fighting the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

"Let's fight!"

Ye Xuan howled at the sky, a crazy smile on his face.

Moments later, the huge divine sword released a baleful aura, and even created a huge hole in the spatial barrier. It was filled with killing intent that seemed to want to devour everything!

Then, it transformed into a blood-red divine dragon that whizzed toward the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

This was an attack that contained all of Ye Xuan's power, and it had locked onto the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

A look of fear flashed across its eyes, as its body trembled. It could clearly sense the terrifying sword intent contained within the blood-red divine dragon.

After it discovered that the blood-red divine dragon had locked onto its aura, and there was no way to escape, it immediately used the suction force in an attempt to dissolve the power of the attack.

Boom!

The two forces collided with each other, causing the entire area to tremble.

Moments, a rain of blood suddenly began to fall within the archaic divine mountains. The blood belonged to the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

Everyone looked up and saw that half of the heaven devouring divine sparrow's wing had been cut off by Ye Xuan.

"Oh my god, is this for real?"

When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked that even the heaven devouring divine sparrow had not been able to withstand that sword attack.

Everyone could clearly sense that the heaven devouring divine sparrow's precious bone was emitting a brilliant light. It was obvious that it had just used its inherited divine ability!

Even so, it had still been seriously injured by Ye Xuan's sword attack.

Buzzzzzz!

The heaven devouring divine sparrow released a pained cry, as it looked on in fear at Ye Xuan.

Ever since it was born, it had never been so severely injured.

Even the invincible Chief Tian Xuan was only able to drive it back to the archaic divine mountains, but was unable to cause any serious damage to it.

The heaven devouring divine sparrow's massive body crashed into the ground, and its life force was rapidly draining away.

"Wait… Did Chief Ye Xuan kill the heaven devouring divine sparrow with one strike?"

When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked senseless.

488 Giving Chase

Just as everyone thought that it was going to die, its huge body suddenly erupted with dazzling fiery light.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they saw this. The heaven devouring divine sparrow was a supreme realm existence. Even if its physical body had been severely injured, as long as its soul still existed, it would be able to recover. freēwēbnovel.com

When Ye Xuan saw this, he raised his eyes slightly, also feeling a little surprised. However, it mattered not. If he could not kill it in one strike, then he would use another!

At this moment, the heaven devouring divine sparrow spat out a huge fireball toward Ye Xuan, forcing him back. As a supreme realm existence, in terms of strength, it naturally surpassed Ye Xuan.

It had been too careless just now, and had been distracted by the Pixiu, which was why he had been seriously injured by Ye Xuan's attack!

After learning the hard way, it would not make the same mistake again.

After using the fireball to force Ye Xuan back, the heaven devouring divine sparrow did not choose to attack again. Instead, it glared at Ye Xuan fiercely, then turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

Even though its body had successfully recovered thanks to the surging life force of a supreme realm being, it had still been weakened.

Furthermore, it could not take too many of those sword strikes, otherwise, it might really end up being buried here.

"Trying to run? It won't be that easy!"

Monstrous sword intent erupted from Ye Xuan's body, and he turned into a dazzling streak of light and pursued the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

However, it was an ancient beast descendant known for its speed. Even if Ye Xuan used the power of teleportation, he could not catch up.

"This beast runs pretty fast!"

Helplessly, Ye Xuan could only give up.

He had gone all out, but was unable to match its speed. He now understood why Chief Tian Xuan had been unable to kill the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

However, Ye Xuan didn't want to give up such a rare opportunity. If he did not kill it while it was injured, things would be troublesome for him when it recovered.

"You're not going anywhere!"

Ye Xuan let out an angry roar as his body turned into a divine sword that soared into the sky and slashed toward the archaic divine mountains.

"My god, isn't this guy a little too brutal? Which one is the real beast here?"

When everyone saw this scene, they were completely dumbfounded.

They had heard of Ye Xuan's battle achievements and knew that he was terrifyingly strong, but this display of strength was beyond their wildest imagination.

A peak-level mystic lord realm expert was chasing a supreme realm beast!

Was this some sort of dream or illusion?

What was going on? Had the world gone crazy?

How had Ye Xuan accomplished this? How had he become so strong?

Ye Xuan's destructive sword qi shot up into the sky. In an instant, it cut through space and slashed toward the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

At that moment, the heaven devouring divine sparrow turned around and was almost scared to death. It had grown to fear this human's sword strikes, and no longer dared to be careless.

It pushed its body to its limit as it moved even faster, dodging the dazzling sword qi. Then, it suddenly opened its huge mouth, as that unparalleled suction force suddenly emerged again, trying to devour the living beings around it.

Ye Xuan's expression changed when he saw this. The power of his spiritual sense swept out, carefully observing the energy flow within the heaven devouring divine sparrow's body.

Suddenly, he discovered that the precious bone within the heaven devouring divine sparrow's body was emitting a dazzling divine light. It transformed into a mysterious rune.

As the heaven devouring divine sparrow devoured the living beings around it, its injuries were slowly recovering.

'I see. I didn't expect the heaven devouring divine sparrow to be able to use its devouring power to heal its injuries.'

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.

According to the ancient legends, the heaven devouring divine sparrow was a ferocious beast that had been born during the chaos era. It was born in the depths of the eastern sea in the mystic world and lived in the Fusang tree like the golden crow divine beast.

The only difference between the two was that the golden crow divine beast would appear during the day and shine light upon the earth with its brilliant divine power. This was why it was called a divine beast by humans.

In comparison, whenever night fell, the heaven devouring divine sparrow would appear silently and use its terrifying and strange devouring power to devour everything, treating everything and everyone as food.

After countless years, countless living beings had fallen at the hands of the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

As it constantly devoured living beings, its cultivation rose. However, the cost of that was that the heaven devouring divine sparrow was hated by the human race, and even hunted down.

In an ancient book of the Great Wilderness Divine sect, it was recorded that the human race had once encountered a world-ending catastrophe in ancient times. The true instigator of that catastrophe was the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

The heaven devouring divine sparrow had wanted to devour all of the living beings in the entire mystic world and completely control it. It was a crazy plan!

Fortunately, it failed in the end. Furthermore, thanks to that catastrophe, the human race gradually became stronger and gained the strength to compete with the other races.

At the same time, the ancient beasts that had been sleeping in the archaic divine mountains gradually awoke. After countless eras of war, the human race had designated these ancient beasts as the ten most powerful beasts!

The appearance of these ten powerful beasts completely shattered the heaven devouring divine sparrow's dream of devouring the mystic world.

489 Zhuyan

Of course, these were only recorded in the ancient books of the Great Wilderness Divine sect and were considered legends. Ye Xuan did not know how much of it was true and how much of it was exaggeration.

More importantly, this heaven devouring divine sparrow was obviously not the same as the one from the ancient times.

"Is your devouring power really that terrifying? Do you really think it can easily devour everything?"

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Just as he was about to use the Cloud Heaven Sword to finish off the heaven devouring divine sparrow…

"Roar!"

On the other side of the archaic divine mountains, an earth-shaking roar was suddenly heard.

At the same time, an incomparably powerful energy wave suddenly rippled out, causing the entire archaic divine mountains to shake uncontrollably. The energy waves churned through the air in layers, making them visible to the naked eye.

Everyone's expressions immediately changed as they hurriedly circulated their spiritual power to resist the energy waves.

Ye Xuan quickly looked up.

It was the black tortoise that had let out the roar.

After being repeatedly provoked by the Pixiu, the black tortoise could not bear it any longer. The power in his body suddenly erupted.

It was only a roar, but it sent Pixiu flying.

Moments later, the black tortoise raised a huge leg, which was wrapped in the destructive power of the laws, and suddenly kicked it.

Spatial cracks appeared everywhere, and the Pixiu stared fearfully at the incoming foot. It circulated all of its spiritual power and charged up its heavenly lightning power frantically.

Then, the entire sky turned gray. The terrifying power of the heavenly lightning flashed through the sky and transformed into a torrent of lightning bolts that swept toward the black tortoise.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from atop a huge mountain.

A monkey holding a huge staff suddenly appeared on the mountain peak. Its blood-red eyes contained terrifying power.

"What? It's actually a Zhuyan…"

Everyone was shocked. The appearance of the black tortoise had attracted not only the Pixiu and the heaven devouring divine sparrow, but also this Zhuyan, which had an extremely rare bloodline.

The Zhuyan held the huge staff in its hand and then let out a loud roar. It leapt into the sky, and its huge staff came crashing down onto the back of the black tortoise.

When it did, the black tortoise roared angrily, and it swatted the staff away.

Shortly after, the three extremely powerful beasts began to fight. Spatial cracks began to appear all around them, spewing out void power.

"Interesting!"

Ye Xuan lit up when he saw this scene.

Then, his gaze shifted back to the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

After devouring many living beings, it had recovered a great deal. Even if Ye Xuan used all of his strength, he might not have the advantage against it..

However, if he used the cloud heaven sword, he most likely would be able to deal with the heaven devouring divine sparrow.

That being said, Ye Xuan had changed his mind.

He wanted to watch all of these beasts fight each other.

What exactly was the heavenly treasure?

Was it really worth fighting over like this?

Then, Ye Xuan flicked his sleeves and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The heaven devouring divine sparrow, which had just recovered from its injuries, immediately erupted with spiritual power. It wanted to settle the score with Ye Xuan, but when it looked around, it discovered that Ye Xuan had already disappeared.

Helpless, it let out an angry roar.

At this moment, the heaven devouring divine sparrow also sensed the Zhuyan's aura.

Although the black tortoise was extremely powerful, it was now besieged by two powerful beasts. The huge coffin on its shell was starting to show signs of being dislodged.

Seeing this, the heaven devouring divine sparrow gave up on trying to find Ye Xuan and joined forces with the other two beasts to besiege the black tortoise.

As long as it managed to obtain the heavenly treasure, it would likely be able to surpass the supreme realm and reach the ancient realm.

"Oh my god, the three supreme realm beasts are besieging the black tortoise! Tsk tsk! That black tortoise has probably been alive since time immemorial. Those three beasts don't know how to respect the elderly!"

Su Changhe, who was among the Jade Lake Divine sect's group, was spouting nonsense at this moment.

Then, just as he was about to start blabbering again, a palm suddenly out of nowhere and smacked his head.

"F*ck!"

Su Changhe was shocked. He thought that some expert had suddenly made a move on him, but when he turned around, he discovered that it was Ye Xuan.

"Chief Ye Xuan, when did you return? You really almost gave me a fright!"

"I almost thought that someone was jealous of my looks and wanted to disfigure me," Su Changhe patted his chest with lingering fear and said seriously.

The nearby Jade Lake Divine sect cultivators cringed out of embarrassment on his behalf when they heard his words.

Could this guy's skin be any thicker? Even an iron wall would be ashamed to say such words.

They could not comprehend why an expert like Ye Xuan would allow such a shameless person to accompany him.

That kid was a hooligan, but the point was that, at least in terms of cultivation or talent, anyone here had him beat!!

What was Chief Ye Xuan thinking?

Rather than a shameless hooligan, even bringing around a beautiful but dumb woman was better.

Eh?

Nearby, the Reincarnation Fairy noticed his arrival and asked curiously, "When did Chief Ye Xuan return? We did not sense your presence at all."

...

"Just now," Ye Xuan said lightly.

490 The Grand Elder Of The Jade Lake Divine Sect

"I see…" The Reincarnation Fairy nodded and was about to say something.

However, Ye Xuan spoke first, "How about you guys? Did something happen?"

"We're fine. Although the battle between those great beasts is extremely terrifying, we're far enough away to avoid suffering any real damage," she replied with a smile.

When Situ Mo saw that Ye Xuan had returned safely, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Right now, he was surrounded by many juniors from the Jade Lake Divine sect, and with such a terrifying battle taking place, it was truly difficult for him to hold it off by himself.

If something like what had happened to the Reincarnation Fairy happened again, he would have to bear the blame.

"Chief Ye Xuan, you've finally returned!"

Situ Mo wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said happily, "I'm already so old, and my heart isn't as strong as it once was. I was terrified for you just now."

"If you had not come back, I would not have known what to say to your sect!"

Ye Xuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

'I didn't expect this old man to be so humorous!'

"However, Chief Ye Xuan's sword attack just now was so terrifying! I have never seen anything like it. It can truly be called a divine sword strike!"

"After this battle, Chief Ye Xuan's name will definitely spread throughout the East continent," Situ Mo said with a face full of emotion.

This was something he truly believed, and he was not just saying it out of courtesy.

Ye Xuan was only a mere mystic lord realm expert, but was able to severely injure the heaven devouring divine sparrow, a supreme realm being, with a single sword strike, crossing realms!

It was absolutely unbelievable!

Situ Mo had an inexplicable intuition that given Ye Xuan's monstrous talent, he would definitely reach the supreme realm in the future and lead the human race to glory.

Ye Xuan smiled and did not say anything about it.

When he was on the Tian Yuan continent, he had never cared for fame, let alone in the mystic world.

Moreover, he was just acting on a whim and wanted to try out the power of the second sword move of the Flora sword technique. As for whether he could defeat the heaven devouring divine sparrow and shaking up the East continent? That was not something Ye Xuan was bothered to think about.

"I don't care about fame. I'm just doing whatever my heart tells me to."

Ye Xuan chuckled, then his eyes fell on the great battle, and his eyes glowed with excitement.

"What I'm more curious about now is what kind of treasure is hidden in that coffin that the black tortoise is carrying. It was actually able to attract three powerful beasts with ancient bloodlines!"

Hearing this, Situ Mo was even more impressed by Ye Xuan. If he had Ye Xuan's strength, fame was something he himself would have chased and basked in.

After all, after painstakingly cultivating to become strong, who could resist the temptation of being famous?

This feeling was simply too cool, okay? No man could resist it.

However, Ye Xuan seemed to be simply nonplussed by the whole idea. His expression remained completely calm.

Perhaps this was what a true expert was!

As for the huge coffin Ye Xuan was talking about…

Situ Mo shook his head helplessly.

"I'm not sure either. I only know that this black tortoise has been around for a few days. However, until now, no one has managed to figure out what is hidden inside."

"However, it's obvious that it's something that's extremely valuable."

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, and then his eyes turned to the battle again.

Boom!

As the terrifying energy waves spread out, the entire world began to tremble.

In the sky above the archaic divine mountains, the three powerful beasts released their terrifying divine powers to try and knock the coffin off the back of the black tortoise.

However, the black tortoise was so powerful that it was not at a disadvantage despite being outnumbered and surrounded.

As time slowly passed, more and more cultivators entered the archaic divine mountains, and an entire day passed just like that.

When the first wisp of purple aura rose from the east the next day, the four beasts were still locked in battle.

The surroundings had been ravaged by heavenly lightning, true fire, and demonic power. Despite this, the black tortoise remained steady and unyielding, and its power seemed to be as vast as the ocean.

"Oh my god, what's going on here? It's terrifying!"

The cultivators who had just reached the outskirts of the archaic divine mountains were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

Huge cracks were everywhere, and violent energy shockwaves caused the ground to tremble every few minutes. Several mountains had already been flattened and crushed.

At this moment, a few bright lights suddenly fell from the sky, which then revealed the figure of an elder covered in divine light.

"Oh my god! It's the grand elder of the Jade Lake Divine sect!"

"What exactly is happening? Even such a powerful expert has made his way here…"

Everyone was observing the situation with bated breath. Chu Tianba's arrival ignited the onlookers into a frenzy once again.

In a short while, a few more bright lights flashed through the sky.

"Oh my god, even Elder Tongtian is here!"

Chu Tianba greeted Elder Tongtian with a smile when he saw him.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chu would come here as well."

A smile appeared on Elder Tongtian's aged face.

As the grand elder of the Jade Lake Divine sect, Chu Tianba had absolute control over the Jade Lake Divine sect and was also responsible for training the Saintess.

Over the past hundred years, Chu Tianba had never left the Jade Lake Divine sect.

...
