Chapter 517: Great Gains
Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga
News had transmitted after two months that a great sage expert had gone inside the depths of the heavenly crater. Apparently, he had found some clues, and was searching because of it. This had incited everyone even further. And, more and more experts had arrived there and joined in the search. Ye Xiwen was straddling in a group of a group of ancient demon beasts in a valley, and he was slaughtering them left and right. He appeared like a swaying catkin while doing so. He was facing a group of ancient mountain beasts draped in golden scales. Their bodies were extremely hard. They were roaring loudly. They all possessed earth-type magical power, and they had been unleashing this power upon Ye Xiwen. A massive rock fell from the sky, and it seemed that it would crush Ye Xiwen to death. Many of these ancient demon beasts were at the late stage of the semi-sage realm. But, the majority of them were at the sage realm. Ye Xiwen looked like a swaying catkin among them. He had an iron sword in his hand. He was brandishing his iron sword like a dragon. He was relentless, and nothing could stop him. That falling rock hadn't even reached above his head when it was broken down by his sword light. It couldn't even get close to him… However, each of these ancient demon beasts possessed 'spiritual intelligence'. Moreover, they seemed trained… just like professional soldiers. The rocks fell down from the sky in quick succession. In fact, they weren't even giving Ye Xiwen any time to catch his breath. There was an ancient tree behind Ye Xiwen. It was partially visible within a layer of golden energy that was fluctuating behind him. Of course, it was the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. The 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' had shrouded Ye Xiwen's body in its entirety. The bright look in his eyes glittered with clear- mindedness. There was no trace of impurity in it. This unclouded expression in his eyes under the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' was simply unprecedented. Ye Xiwen was launching attacks with a clear mind. Every sword attack was simple… just as the ones that were mentioned in the standard textbooks. He wasn't unleashing any gorgeous sword moves. However, even such ordinary sword strikes had stopped those falling rocks from approaching him. Ye Xiwen had found out that his moves had become smooth, ferocious, greatly efficiency, and very machine-like whenever he was shrouded by the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. His might had also increased very significantly. He had concealed the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' inside his vital energies, and it was further covered by the dreadful divinities. So, an average person couldn't see the trace of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. These ancient demon beasts were his test objects. His iron sword suddenly issued a clang sound. It was just an ordinary iron sword. However, it looked like a legendary sword in his hands. In fact, it seemed that this sword could even cleave the heaven when he held it. "Rumble!" The sounds of explosions resounded unceasingly. Ye Xiwen's long sword was issuing endless sword-lights in the sky, and those falling rocks were being shattered into pieces at a very fast speed! 'Buried Person Sword' and 'Buried Sword Secrets' were being displayed regularly. They had already reached a superb condition. Ye Xiwen strode-on by taking the advantage of a gap he had just created. And, his figure suddenly rushed out and stormed into that group of ancient demon beasts. "Clang!" Ye Xiwen brandished his iron sword. The sword-light formed an ice-cold black light. Then, it shot out several sword strikes in an instant. The bodies of those ancient mountain beasts were incredibly hard since they were draped in armors. It was difficult to injure them… even with a divine weapon. However, they were nothing in front of Ye Xiwen's iron sword. Blood splashed out wherever the sword light fell. The beasts appeared to be made up of paper as they got ravaged by those iron- sword strikes. Moreover, those sword attacks had accurately struck the vital points of these demon beasts. Each of these demon beasts was more 3 metre tall. They were even taller than Ye Xiwen. However, how they could be a match for him? He shuttled among those demon beasts as if he was strolling in a courtyard. Those mountain beasts roared and collapsed one after another wherever he went. They were no match for him. Hundreds of beasts had been killed by him within the blink of an eye. He looked like the God of Death for a moment because he was causing deaths wherever he was going. These demon beasts weren't weak. However, they were being slaughtered by Ye Xiwen's sword moves because he was extremely powerful. Each move was precise to an incredible degree! His attacks were was even more formidable than before. In fact, Ye Xiwen felt that his inner realm had just made a breakthrough, and had entered another realm. He had previously walked on a road that had required great skills, but not much labor. His every sword attack used to have crushing power. It could crush anyone who stood in its front. This was the so-called 'lifting heavy weight as if it's light'. A small mountain appeared as light as a feather in his hands. He could crush it while laughing and talking. However, it was different now. His sword play looked even more ordinary. But, its power hadn't dropped even a bit. Even a mountain beast of peak sage realm couldn't stop one move of his'. He didn't even need to use another move, and could kill the demon beast on the spot in one move alone. Perhaps this should be called 'lifting light weight as if heavy' instead of the other way round. He could crush many enemies even if he had a large feather in his hand. This was a new realm in its own. It seemed as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment. He had reached an entirely different realm alotogther. The inner realm and the realm of strength were entirely different things on the path of martial arts. One couldn't turn back once they had attained a high realm of strength and gotten stronger. However, inner realm of martial arts was completely different from this. One could enter another realm only if they had comprehended the previous one thoroughly. Otherwise, one might return to the previous realm of 'lifting heavy weight as if it's light' at any time. He still needed to practice a lot to strengthen his new realm under the 'lifting light weight as if it's heavy' situation. And, he would be able to freely switch things around when he would get a complete hold of both 'Lifting heavy weight as if it's light' and 'lifting light weight as if it's heavy' realms. This was the so-called 'degree of control' of one's mind… because the mind would interpret something 'heavy' as 'light as a feather' in one moment, and something 'light' as a 'giant mountain' in the other. It was truly a confusing and complicated concept. However, Ye Xiwen had already entered this realm now. So, his frame of mind had become very clear. Moreover, he clearly knew that this had happened with the support of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. It wasn't surprising that many people had fought over the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' since the ancient times. He only had a branch of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. It had surely begun to grow back. But, it wasn't clear how long it would take for the entire tree to grow up. One could advance by leaps and bounds if one could meditate under a complete 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' even for a day. In fact, one could make skyrocketing progress at that time. However, it wasn't clear how much he would've grown up by the time the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' would grow back to its stage of maturity. A scarlet mirror flew out of Ye Xiwen's body. And, those demon beasts that had been killed by him were immediately absorbed by the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' wherever the scarlet light went. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" The iron sword issued 'clang' sounds. Ye Xiwen freely brandished his sword in quick succession, and the attacks unleashed unimaginable power. A large number of demon beasts were killed again, and their flesh was absorbed by the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' wherever the sword light went. This would obviously be used for Ye Mo's recovery later-on. Ye Mo's condition had become much better. He had also woken up once in these two months. However, he had landed into deep sleep quite soon after that. Ye Xiwen finally managed to kill these demon beasts after having fought them for half-a- day. He had also managed to produce the ideal condition of 'lifting light weight as if it's heavy' concept this time. He could've entered this realm without the support of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. However, it would've been difficult. Moreover, it wouldn't have been a smooth process. He knew that he had reached his present limit. It didn't matter how skilful he was. He needed time to enter this realm. It was similar to the case when he had taken a lot of time to enter the 'lifting heavy weight as if it's light' realm. Moreover, the thing that had made him the most happy was that his strength was showing signs of making a breakthrough after he had faintly started to feel the 'lifting light weight as if it's heavy' realm. He felt that his strength would soon make the breakthrough into the intermediate stage of the sage realm. It hadn't even been half-a-year since he had entered the initial stage of the sage realm. However, it was no big deal for him. His accumulation was extremely profound. An ordinary person must pay attention towards consolidating their realm once they had made a breakthrough. And, they also required time for doing that. However, he was different. His foundation was very strong. An ordinary person required time for consolidating their realm. However, this time could be enormously shortened in his case… just like the Wood Dragon's. The Wood Dragon had just reached the late stage of the sage realm a while ago. However, he was almost about to enter the peak stage of sage realm now. It was hard to say how many adventures these heavens' pride level experts had come across. But, it was evident that they had obtained many more special methods than ordinary people. Therefore, it was only obvious that they couldn't be treated as ordinary people. However, Ye Xiwen's foundation was more profound as compared to that of the Wood Dragon's. The Wood Dragon had also said that he had never seen such a profound foundation as that of Ye Xiwen's. In fact, it could scare a person to death. However, he didn't know that this rich accumulation had been acquired back when Ye Xiwen was at half-step legendry's realm. And, it had only come to manifest to its true extent in his current foundation. He had built this unprecedented and incomparably strong foundation in order to cross that terrifying sage realm 'Heavenly Tribulation'. How could an ordinary person think to such extent? However, this wasn't the time for 'closed-door training' because he didn't have anyone by his side for protection. The Wood Dragon had already left him and gone to meet that great sage expert the Northern Dipper had sent. Ye Xiwen had also gone about his own way. He would join them when the time would be right. Ye Xiwen had only dared to bring out the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' because the Wood Dragon wasn't present there. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous if the Wood Dragon had recognized it. And, Ye Xiwen couldn't dare to take this risk… not at this time at least. He and the Wood Dragon were partners. However, one can't tell what's going-on in the other person's heart. He knew that a group of great sage experts would swarm in if the news that he had a treasure like the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' got transmitted. Ye Xiwen went inside the lair of those mountain beasts after he had killed them. It was a cave that curved down into the ground. He also killed the remaining beasts one by one on his way. He walked for a quarter of an hour or so, and arrived at the bottom of the passage. He then saw a huge cavern at the bottom. Yellow- colored 'spirit crystals' were present all around the cave. The so-called 'spirit crystal' was a pure natural crystal that was condensed from the 'spirit energies'. It wasn't like the 'spirit stone' because a 'spirit stone' was formed after a stone had gone through eternal polishing by the 'spirit energies'. Furthermore, it would even have to absorb the 'spirit energies' after that. Therefore, the spirit stone contained many impurities inside. However, these 'spirit crystals' were different. They were pure and natural crystals that were entirely condensed from the 'spirit energies' alone. So, they were very pure in their make, and could be absorbed directly. These treasures could often be found inside the caves that were formed innumerable years ago. It wasn't surprising that these mountain beasts were so powerful. After all, they had been thriving on so many 'spirit crystals'. These 'spirit crystals' were much purer than ordinary 'Primary Spirit Dans'. In fact, one piece of 'spirit crystal' could be exchanged for more than hundred 'Primary Spirit Dans'. However, the fact is that only the experts of the great sage realm and above could condense 'Primary Spirit Dans', and that too up to some purity… Ye Xiwen's initial estimate suggested that this room full of 'spirit crystals' could approximately be exchanged for one billion 'Primary Spirit Dans'. It could be said that he had become rich overnight! He would skyrocket in one fell swoop in case he managed to obtain so much wealth! (To be continued)

23 comments, join in Chapter 518: Who Tricks Whom Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Xiwen waved his hand, collected these 'spirit crystals', and put them inside the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. These 'spirit crystals' were the protective barrier with the help of which those mountain beasts had been flourishing. However, they had fallen into Ye Xiwen's hands now. It could be said that one 'spirit crystal' could be exchanged for 100 'Primary Spirit Dans'. In fact, one could get an even higher number of 'Primary Spirit Dans' if they exchanged it in the black market. However, he didn't wish to exchange these 'spirit crystals'. 'Spirit crystals' could be exchanged for 'Primary Spirit Dans' with ease. However, it was difficult to exchange 'Primary Spirit Dans' for the 'spirit crystals'. Ye Xiwen must find a place to absorb these 'spirit crystals'. And, his cultivation would perhaps attain a brand-new progress once that had happened. Ye Xiwen had barely emerged from the underground cave when energy fluctuations appeared in the sky. And, it was accompanied by the emergence of a 'Flying Fire Meteor' that illuminated half of the horizon. They were the Meteor Sect's people! Ye Xiwen immediately restrained his breath, and he operated the 'Restraining Breath Technique' to its capacity. His entire body sank into the subspace, and got concealed therein. In fact, he didn't even set off any fluctuations in this process. His 'Restraining Breath Technique' had reached at a new realm once he had entered the sage realm. Consequently, even a great sage expert would find it difficult to discover him once he had concealed his presence. Of course, this was subject to the condition that he mustn't move. Therefore, he was confident that a sage expert couldn't discover his existence by any means. He didn't need to worry about being discovered unless his presence had been locked on to by the enemies. The Flying Fire Meteor had already reached above Ye Xiwen within a few breaths. He swept out his divine sense, and found a few familiar faces on that 'Flying Fire Meteor'. The Great Wei Empire's second prince and third prince were present along with their subordinates. He had seen them separating from each other before hand. However, they had somehow gathered together at this time. A young man was standing at the top of the 'Flying Fire Meteor'. He was tall and handsome. His outstanding aura was quite threatening. He was dressed in the Meteor Sect's standard uniform. However, he had a special air about him. The 'Flying Fire Meteor' came to a halt in front of the underground cave of the mountain beasts. Everyone got down from it, and swept their glances over the entire place. The Third Prince spoke-up somewhat remorsefully, "We are late. He has escaped. I didn't expect that this Dragon Master would be so sly. He's one slippery bastard!" "I think he's a poisonous snake! A viper that can bite you anywhere and anytime!" the Second Prince opened his mouth and said. In fact, he had said this as he had looked towards that young man who was standing in front of everyone and seemed like the leader of this group. "Has someone from our side leaked the news… and allowed him to get away?" a prince's consecrate opened his mouth and speculated. "It's impossible. We had departed at the same time. And now, we have gathered together. So, he couldn't have obtained news… Let alone escape in advance!" the Third Prince denied and said. They had planned to deal with Ye Xiwen from the get go. It had seemed that they had scattered when they had departed. However, they had gathered together soon after that. Therefore, nobody here could say that the news might have gotten leaked. They had been pursuing Ye Xiwen since the last few months. And, they had finally obtained the news of him being present in this vicinity with great difficulty. Therefore, they had rushed straight here. However, it seemed that Ye Xiwen hadn't left long ago. "Look at this mess. It's obvious that this Dragon Master has left recently. Moreover, it doesn't appear like he has left in a hurry after getting the news. I can only say that this guy's luck is very good!" "He must've left very recently from the looks of it. So, shouldn't we purse him?" someone asked. Ye Xiwen had now understood that why these experts of the Great Wei State's Imperial Clan had left so quickly at that time — They had been planning to deal with him! Moreover, they had also brought the experts of the Meteor Sect along with them… That young man's imposing aura was suppressive and threatening. He looked suave and outgoing. He had already entered the Small Perfection level of the sage realm. So, he was a step ahead of the Peak level of the sage realm! Each martial art move of the peak level of the sage realm has a standard style as per the comparison based on the practice moves. But, these different styles can be linked up together in order in the case of Small Perfection level of the sage realm. So, there wouldn't be any gap in between the moves as a result of this linking. And, this meant that there was a big power gap between the two realms. Furthermore, one could easily use these styles in an unorganized sequence once they had reached the Great Perfection level of the sage realm. One could disrupt the order of these moves. And, one wouldn't need to adhere to the sequence of the styles. Therefore, the experts of sage great perfection realm could unleash these moves at will, and without following any order. Consequently, they could cast a move at the time of unleashing the attack, but that move could get transformed into some other move when the attack would finally get materialized. The Sage Small Perfection Realm was more incredible than the Sage Peak Realm. In fact, these two realms were almost entirely at different levels. "There's no need. He's just a small fish; and nothing more. He can't stir up mighty waves in the sea!" the young man said disdainfully. It was obvious that he didn't give a damn about Ye Xiwen. "Many senior experts of our Meteor Sect have arrived. So, what's he? He's nothing. You don't need to worry!" "Of course! Of course, you are right, Brother Sheng Feiyue! That Dragon Master isn't an issue for a talented man like you. I only suspect that those two belong to some organization. And, they might secretly wish to topple the rule of our Meteor Sect!" the Second Prince said. He had hit the nail on the head. He had harboured doubts about the origins of Ye Xiwen and the Wood Dragon since the beginning. After all, he hadn't been able to find anything about the backgrounds of both these individuals. And, this was the most dreadful thing for him. "I will go and report this matter to the higher- ups. The Sect will investigate and find the origins of both these individuals. This is our Meteor Sect's domain. It's ridiculous if they think that they can topple our Meteor Sect's rule. They think too highly of themselves if they are embracing such a notion. They are overconfident!" Sheng Feiyue's face exposed a disdainful smile. His confidence had originated from the formidable strength of the Meteor Sect. They had been ruling the Meteor World since countless years. Moreover, they hadn't declined even once… unlike the True Martial University. The Meteor World was their territory. Therefore, he believed that those two were thinking too highly of themselves if they thought that they could topple their rule in their backyard. They were overreaching themselves. A mysterious light suddenly flashed in Ye Xiwen's eyes. The Northern Dipper's objective wasn't to topple the Meteor Sect's rule. The Northern Dipper had tyrannical strength. However, they had a very few personnel in their ranks. So, their combined strength was far from rivalling that of the Meteor Sect's. Therefore, they wouldn't go for a head-on confrontation with the Meteor Sect by attempting to topple their rule. However, this matter was tied to planting a Northern Dipper saboteur in the Meteor Sect. It wasn't clear when this saboteur would prove his usefulness. After all, Ye Xiwen didn't even know how many such saboteurs the Northern Dipper commanded. However, the Twenty-third Prince was very important for Ye Xiwen since this would be his first base of operation for obtaining resources from the Great Wei Empire at a steady rate. This obviously wouldn't satisfy his ever-increasing requirement of resources. However, it would still be a steady source of income for him. Therefore, the consequences would be disastrous for Ye Xiwen if he ended up attracting the attention of a sect as enormous as the Meteor Sect. After all, the Meteor Sect had been ruling the Meteor World for so many years. So, they wouldn't show any mercy if someone tried to topple their rule. Therefore, he couldn't allow them to spread this news. And, this meant that he would need to annihilate the sources of the news before that! "That Dragon Master is only an irksome fly; nothing more. He's nothing. They aren't a match for our Meteor Sect!" Sheng Feiyue said. Ye Xiwen and his trusted aid could prove to be a big trouble for the Second Prince. However, they were nothing for him. He had such belief and confidence, and he also had the strength to back it up. Moreover, he was also confident that Ye Xiwen would be a mere peak level expert of the sage realm at most. However, he himself had already entered the Sage Small Perfection Realm. Therefore, he would crush Ye Xiwen to death if the latter dared to appear. "This ancient world was once the Headquarter of the deceased Bereaved Clan. So, this place has countless precious treasures. My cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds as long as I obtain even one of these ancient treasures. Won't I be able to suppress that Dragon Master at that time as well? So, what if he is a great master of alchemy? I will crush him to death with ease!" Sheng Feiyue coldly said. Sheng Feiyue sat down on the 'Flying Fire Meteor' after he said this. Then, he urged to fly forward. It transformed into a grandiose streamer of light, and disappeared in the horizon. Ye Xiwen came out of the void. His pupils contracted, and a 'cold intention' flickered in his eyes. A pair of golden wings suddenly appeared on his back. He then opened his wings, transformed into a golden streamer, and chased after them at a speed that was even quicker than theirs. He didn't have a divine flying tool like the 'Flying Fire Meteor'. However, his devil wings were an extremely powerful magical ability in their own merit. In fact, he could even travel back-and-forth between myriads of worlds once it had been practiced to the pinnacle. This was the strongest aspect of the devil wings. Ye Xiwen caught up with Sheng Feiyue and other people soon enough. However, he didn't act rashly, and didn't alert them of his presence. Instead, he decided to hang behind them. He had restrained his breath with the help of 'Restraining Breath Technique'. And, he was outside their line of sight. Moreover, he was using his divine sense to examine their actions. However, they couldn't discover his presence. Sheng Feiyue was driving the 'Flying Fire Meteor'. So, he was in the front. He had attracted the attentions of many demon beasts on-route. However, how could those ancient demon beasts be a match for him? They had obviously been crushed by these people. Ye Xiwen was steadily pursuing them. And, a blur silhouette of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' was present behind him. Consequently, he had never been so clear- headed. He was pursuing Sheng Feiyue and the others on the one hand. And, he was undergoing practice on the other. In fact, he felt that his cultivation was already at a critical juncture. He felt that he would reach the intermediate stage of the sage realm if he could make another breakthrough at this time. His fighting strength could be compared to that of an expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm once that had happened. And then, he could blow up this arrogant Sheng Feiyue with a single punch. He just needed to wait! The look in Ye Xiwen's eyes was charged by thousands kinds of tricks. All kinds of plans and schemes had appeared in his mind one by one. His attitude had become unprecedentedly peaceful under the effect of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. His 'killing intention' had certainly become stronger with the passage of time. However, that hadn't had the slightest of effect on his rational mind. So, he could still think of all sorts of schemes in a calm manner. Time passed day by day. And, it had soon been more than a month ever since Ye Xiwen had started to pursue Sheng Feiyue and the others. Sheng Feiyue and the others had gone on expeditions in all directions in this more than a month's time. And, they had also come across dangers several times. However, they had escaped all dangers. They had also obtained many benefits during this time. They had already ventured deep into the underground world of the heavenly pit by now. They had also come across increasingly powerful ancient demon beasts as they had gone farther into the depths of this underground world. Many of those demon beasts had attained 'spiritual intelligence', and had established their own ancient demon beast kingdoms… And, that too in perfect order! Ye Xiwen had been amazed at the sight of this. Everyone had arrived in front of a huge mountain at this time. "There's something wrong about this huge mountain. I think it's a massive ancient demon beast!" (To be continued)

They noticed that it was a mountain range that had stretched up to more than a thousand kilometres. In fact, it was so huge that they couldn't see its boundary. "There's something wrong about this huge mountain. Wait, this is a huge ancient beast!" the Second Prince exclaimed on top of the 'Flying Fire Meteor'. He had realized that this wasn't a huge mountain. Instead, it was the corpse of an incomparably huge ancient demon beast. The corpse of this ancient demon beast had gotten covered with layers of dusts with the passage of time. Thus, it had eventually formed such a huge sierra. It was covered with layers of dusts, and had passed through countless years of transformation. However, everyone quickly found out that this was a beast's corpse once they calmed down. They swept their divine senses through the layers of dusts, and saw that there was a gigantic beast under that cover of earth. Its entire body was covered with ice-cold black scales. Moreover, it seemed as if molten iron had poured out from its body, and had then submerged into the dust. And so, that huge body had taken the form of an endless mountain range. Many ancient demon beasts were living on top of that mountain. They were surviving with the support of this giant creature's corpse. Moreover, its blood essence had already condensed into crystal stones. "It's such a giant creature. It shouldn't be in hibernation, right?" the Third Prince asked sceptically. He had swept out his divine sense. However, he could still feel its looming coercion. Moreover, its corpse didn't seem to have decayed. In fact, it still looked vivid and alive. His entire body stretched tightly. He was afraid that the awakening of this giant creature would lead to a terrible battle. One must know that this wasn't his assumption. Instead, it was possibly a disaster waiting to happen! In fact, it wasn't impossible by any means. These mega-sized creatures were different from the human race. After all, the human race had a short lifespan. However, some inborn giant creatures were similar to dragon race and so on. They had a lifespan of several thousand years. And, such great lifespans meant that their life was simply endless. They could live for way too long before they died. They possessed outstanding innate talent and noble bloodline. So, they could reach to a very profound realm during the innumerable years of their lives… even if they didn't practice. On the contrary, the human race had to work hard and cultivate with their entire strength in order to obtain a very long lifespan. One could even say that these giant creatures were the true 'heaven's favoured ones'. Sleeping was a very good way to kill endless time. The human race had to strive to cultivate in order to reach to a particular realm. However, these creatures could automatically arrive at that realm by taking a nap. Anyone would become incomparably jealous by looking at such natural talent. This could also be the case with this colossus. After all, it might have become a mountain range after being in hibernation for thousands of years. Therefore, it would be a dreadful disaster if this giant creature was to be woken up. "He's already dead!" Sheng Feiyue concluded. He had relaxed after he had confirmed that this colossus was dead. After all, he had also been afraid of what could've happened if this creature was suddenly awakened. "There's a huge empty wound on its head!" Everyone looked in the direction in which Sheng Feiyue had pointed his finger. Everyone then saw a huge hole at the peak of this huge mountain range. Streams of red water were splashing out of it from time to time. Everyone held their breath. It wasn't clear when this colossus had died. However, it was still bleeding. Moreover, it didn't seem like its body had decayed. So, it was evident that this colossus must've been very powerful… However, the thing that had alarmed him even more was the fact that such a formidable colossus had been killed by someone in one stroke. He could guess that this colossus hadn't even been able to fight back. Therefore, it was possible that it may have died in one shot. Moreover, there weren't any traces of superficial scars on its body either. That person must've been insanely powerful. "This is a... star colossus!" Ye Xiwen had recognized it in a second. There was a faintly looming star power around it. So, it was obviously a star colossus! What else could it have been? Most importantly, it hailed from the tribe of that star colossus that was sealed inside his 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. Star colossuses had many tribes. It wasn't that they were a single race. However, they usually kept to themselves. They would rarely come together. Ye Xiwen entered the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' as he realized this. That star colossus had already become motionless in the blood pool. After all, it wasn't its real body; it was only a wisp of its soul. Therefore, there was no power left inside it since Ye Xiwen had unceasingly been extracting its power. Ye Xiwen's blood slave was quietly waiting on the other side. This blood slave had unconsciously made the breakthrough to the peak of the sage realm. The power that had been extracted from the body of the star colossus had been entirely absorbed by the blood slave. Therefore, the blood slave had promoted at a brisk pace, while the star colossus had become more and more dispirited. This star colossus was at half-step great sage realm. However, it still didn't have any way while facing the unending extraction of its vitality. It hadn't anticipated that it would fall into Ye Xiwen's hand when it was plotting against him. After all, Ye Xiwen hadn't even reached the semi-sage realm at that time. In fact, he had merely been at the half-step legendary realm. Ye Xiwen would have a half-step great sage realm helper by his side by the time this star colossus's entire vitality was absorbed by the blood slave. And, nobody below the great sage realm would be able to deal with him when that happens. "Ye Xiwen, you'll die a dog's death!" the star colossus roared as soon as Ye Xiwen came inside. But, he had long been weak. The chains of the talisman that had shackled his body were still absorbing his vitality. "Die miserably? Why you would have been in this situation if you hadn't plotted against me?" Ye Xiwen smirked. He had anticipated that he had no way to destroy the magic seed inside his body because of this star colossus. He had surely put his entire effort into suppressing it. However, the magic seed was still gradually maturing. And, it could pose a huge threat to him one day. In fact, it wouldn't be pretty if he were to die under the influence of the magic seed. Practising 'Heart Seed Devil Method' was like dying 10 times without getting birth again. It was a method used for controlling other people. Ye Xiwen had that magic seed planted inside his body. And, he had been surviving it so far. However, it was like a sharp sword that was hanging above his head. And, it could fall at any time. In fact, it wasn't even known when it would fall. However, it would certainly be a dead end if it fell. He could only improve his cultivation in order to suppress the growth of the magic seed. He would get an opportunity to live-on if this magic seed broke. Moreover, his martial power would increase drastically if that were to happen. However, he would die miserably if he couldn't survive it. However, he didn't have any other choice at this time. "That thing lying over there should be from your race!" Ye Xiwen loosened the star colossus's seal so that it could see outside. "How's this possible?" The star colossus couldn't believe its eyes. However, it hadn't mistaken that familiar aura. They were similar star colossuses. However, they hadn't met frequently. In fact, they might not have seen anyone of their race in their entire lifetime. However, that wound was even more frightening. It seemed as if someone had attacked from the sky with a spear, and had nailed it to death. It was hard to express in words how ferocious the killer would have been. "Ha ha ha, God is really helping me. The corpse of such a colossus is infinitely precious. Ha ha ha! It seems that God has destined me, Sheng Feiyue, to rise to the peak!" Sheng Feiyue's eyes suddenly glittered as he glanced over it. He wouldn't have dared to provoke a living colossus. However, a dead one couldn't pose any threat to him. On the contrary, it was a huge treasure for him. Sheng Feiyue immediately drove the 'Flying Fire Meteor' down. However, several hundred giant apes suddenly jumped out from the endless forest that was on that mountain range before they could land on it. Their entire bodies were emitting silver rays of light, and their faces looked fierce. Many exceptionally vicious sage realm apes were also present among these huge apes. Most of them had already arrived in front of these people, and had launched attacks with their fists. Moreover, their fist-technique looked smooth. In fact, their fists even issued whistling sounds. "These giant apes have already become sentient. Their fist technique is so smooth and relaxed. It isn't inferior to that of the great masters of human race who've been immersed in practicing fist-techniques for many years!" Ye Xiwen remarked, "Where have they learnt this from? Is it their innate magical skill?" Martial arts cultivators used to focus on a particular martial heritage. Those who didn't have any dedicated heritage were called 'random cultivators with no background'. People often wouldn't pay attention to such people because it was quite difficult to become powerful if one didn't have a heritage. However, where had these silver giant apes learnt this fist-technique from? [Is it because they are related to the bloodline of this star colossus?] Ye Xiwen secretly guessed. The demon beasts on this mountain were perhaps born with the bloodline of this star colossus. They were visibly different from the ordinary demon beasts. In fact, this case was similar to how the star beasts in the foreign battlefield had taken birth with the bloodline of that sealed star colossus. These giant apes rushed forward. Consecrates of a few princes didn't even get the time to react, and were killed by the fist- attacks of the giant apes. "Audacious evil beasts!" Sheng Feiyue finally moved into action. His entire energy soared into the sky. He didn't say anything else as he stretched out a big hand. A blue light suddenly spread across the entire sky. And, the blue light that had emitted from his palm formed a huge net in the sky. The swift giant apes that were approaching a fast speed bumped into that huge net, and got pierced by the blue lights. They screamed, and fell down from the sky. Sheng Feiyue had displayed the true might of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. A silver giant ape suddenly roared at this time. It came out flying from inside the mountain. This silver giant ape was nearly twice as tall as the other giant apes. It launched a long-range raid. It seemed as if a small mountain was rolling over with loud bangs. Many stars were revolving around it. They were a representation of its star power. Its imposing aura was earth-shattering. After all, it was a demon beast of Sage Small Perfection Realm. It was the leader of these silver giant apes. And, it was very powerful. This leader of the silver giant apes suddenly roared loudly, and the noise shook the sky. The silver star-power on its body looked incredible. It issued tyrannical aura as its fist swept out towards Sheng Feiyue. In fact, the sounds of its bellows were similar to that of a Devil God. The space was shattered into pieces by the fist's pressure. "Rumble!" Sheng Feiyue clashed with the leader of Silver Giant Apes. And, the result was earth-shattering. The remaining experts of the Great Wei Empire also began to fight with those other silver giant apes. "Now is my chance!" Ye Xiwen's eyes lit up. He fluttered his golden wings. He took a detour towards the back of the mountain, and landed there. (To be continued)

However, these cracks on the mountain range were only constricted to the range of a dozen kilometres. They hadn't continued to proliferate any further. In fact, it seemed that a mysterious force was constricting the cracks from proliferating. This was the work of the principle of this star colossus. It that had automatically protected its body! This incredible star colossus still possessed amazing power even though it had been dead for countless years. Ye Xiwen swept his gaze. There weren't any other creatures present on top of this mountain. Only the star beasts that had born with the bloodline of this star colossus were present on the mountain. Other ancient demon beasts couldn't come near this mountain. They had been repelled by that inexplicable coercion. Ye Xiwen had barely approached the mountain range when he felt an overwhelming suppressive force pressing down upon him. His golden divinities automatically covered his entire body as a result, and resisted that huge suppressive force. Ye Xiwen walked on the mountain and arrived at that huge wound. Small pools of blood were flowing inside the wound at all times. Ye Xiwen jumped inside the wound. This was an extremely long passage. He could even feel that this star colossus's body still had the vitality. It didn't seem that it had died several years ago. Its ferocious body would've made it extremely difficult to kill it if its mind hadn't been extinguished by that strike. Its blood still contained huge amounts of energy. It wasn't surprising that those silver giant apes possessed extraordinary strength. Ye Xiwen went ahead walking along that huge wound. He could still hear the thumping heartbeats that were transmitting the blood in all parts of its body. Ye Xiwen transformed into a golden streamer and flew inside the body of this star colossus. He saw a planet inside its body some time later. It was revolving, and a section of universe had taken shape around it. This was a piece of universe! This star colossus had actually quenched a planted inside its inner core. And, it had used the star power from that planet as the driving force for its own body. No wonder that these star colossuses were so powerful that it was hard to find a match for them. The True Martial University had been compelled to collapse by a star colossus in its most prosperous times. However, this star colossus's vitality hadn't gone down after its death. That's because its soul had been annihilated, but the star core was still preserved. Therefore, this huge body hadn't decayed since it had been supported by a steady stream of star power. After all, this star colossus wasn't immortal in reality. Its body had only appeared immortal for countless years because of this nucleus that was unceasingly producing star power. "It's hard to imagine the strength of the man who killed this huge monster!" Ye Xiwen had no choice but to admire. This world had many people whose strength was beyond his very comprehension. However, he became excited soon after. He had always been worried about his future progress because he had started his journey late when compared to his peers. After all, that kid Pang Yang Bo had become a heaven's pride expert, and had advanced to the semi-sage realm at the age of 10 years. However, Ye Xiwen had merely entered the Houtian realm when he was 11 or 12 years old. He had surely put his entire effort to reduce this disparity in the future. And, his cultivation realm had also advanced quite quickly. However, there had been a big disparity from the beginning. And, he couldn't ignore this disparity anyhow. He needed to advance quicker than those other heaven's pride experts in order to catch up. However, this would undoubtedly make his foundation unstable. This wasn't a joke. What would be the long-term prospect of a tall building with an unstable foundation? It might collapse at any time. He knew about this matter more than anyone else since it was more important to him than it was to others. Therefore, he had always attached special important to this matter. He had always made the preparations before he would make a breakthrough. He would obviously do this to make his foundation safer and better. However, it required the support of countless 'spirit energies'. The realm was like the blueprint of a tall building. He could deduce it with the help of his mysterious space. However, he couldn't construct the building without the help of the raw materials. He had nearly consumed the resources he had obtained by winning the Four Sects Martial Arts Competition. And, now this huge star core had fallen upon him like an enormous pie. Moreover, it was much easier to absorb it than the 'Primary Spirit Dans'. Ye Xiwen didn't hesitate. He promptly laid out a barrier formation inside the body of this colossus. After that, he began his 'closed- door training'. He put his entire effort, and didn't stop for even a bit. The 'Observing Person Scripture' was operating crazily; it didn't stop for even a moment. The small universe in his body was also revolving frantically. The star core issued buzzing sound like a spinning cocoon since its star power was being extracted little by little. It was obviously being absorbed by Ye Xiwen's body. This endless star power was a big supplement for him. He didn't even need to convert this energy. He must obtain the support of more and more star power if he wanted to expand the Universe that was inside his body. The star power gradually entered his small Universe. His small universe had also begun to expand inch by inch. Ye Xiwen's small solar system had taken shape after he had entered the sage realm. It could now function independently. In fact, it could even produce star power which could further expand his Universe. However, its speed was very slow. In fact, forming a proper universe still looked far-fetched. He would need to draw support from this solar system for several hundred years or thousand years… or even more than that to make that happen. However, this star core had enormously accelerated this process. He gradually reached closer to making the breakthrough under the influence of the surging star power. He looked like a real God sitting upright in the Universe and chanting sutras from ancient scriptures. He was sitting upright under the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. The 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree' was glowing silver under the shower of the star power. It gradually drooped upon his body, and shrouded it in its entirety. A page of the ancient scripture emitted a dazzling golden beam above Ye Xiwen's head. It seemed like this chant had existed since ancient times! Ye Xiwen knew that time was running out. Sheng Feiyue might defeat those star beasts anytime. And then, he would rush inside as well. Therefore, Ye Xiwen needed make the breakthrough before Sheng Feiyue arrived here. Else, he would have no other choice but to escape in distress. He had decided to use all his methods in order to make the breakthrough within a short time. He had taken out the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree', and had also used that page of the 'Ancient God Scripture' along with it. This page of 'Ancient God Scripture' wasn't some incredible secret method or anything. However, it was like the most profound recorded principle in the world. He would gain some benefits every time he'd read it. And, this resulted in a long-term gain. It might seem like he hadn't made a huge progress if one were to look after a short period of time. However, the accumulation over a long period of time would eventually turn into a very big profit. The Fifth God's cultivation speed had been very quick. And, this page of 'Ancient God Scripture' had played a big role in that! "You beasts are acting very recklessly!" Sheng Feiyue repelled an attack from the leader of those silver giant apes. "I know your intelligence isn't inferior to that of humans. You should have surrendered to me earlier, and I would've spared all you mountain spirit beasts in return. However, you are following the path of your own doom now. So, I will kill all of you at once!" Sheng Feiyue had become somewhat impatient. He would've spared the lives of these silver giant apes if they had surrendered in the beginning. And, he would've made them his slaves after that. However, he had already lost his patience by now. The dead body of this unknown colossus had attracted his desire beyond any known limits. So, he couldn't wait anymore. "Arrogant human!" the leader of the silver giant apes roared. An invisible force suddenly rushed out from the top of its head. It seemed as if a godly ape was standing between the Heaven and the Earth. It felt as if its domineering presence could scare the gods and devil into submission. "Someone like you doesn't stand a chance!" Sheng Feiyue sneered. A dreadful magical power suddenly pressed down from above. A palace suddenly appeared from the void. It issued waves of sage power as it fell down from the sky. It was a sage tool in reality! Sheng Feiyue had condensed the palace where he lived into a sage tool. It possessed endless might, and could be transported anywhere and anytime via a portal. "Rumble!" The palace grew bigger and bigger as it swept towards that giant ape leader to crush it. The entire world broke down into pieces. Cracks appeared in the space as if it was a mirror. They then proliferated across the entire horizon like a spider web. The legs of that leader of the silver giant apes suddenly broke down, and it fell to its knees. Its martial power was far inferior to that of a heaven's pride expert like Sheng Feiyue who had been practicing since several hundred years. Moreover, Sheng Feiyue's strength had increased very greatly since he had taken out a sage tool. "Beasts will always be beasts. I had given you a chance to live, but you didn't take that!" A sinister look appeared on Sheng Feiyue's face. Endless divine beams emitted from the palm of his big hand. The divine beams got interweaved, formed a huge net of light, and advanced towards that leader of the silver giant apes to shroud and crush it. "Bang!" That leader of the silver giant apes was trapped by the large light-net of Sheng Feiyue's. It then exploded in the sky and transformed into a mass of blood fog. The other silver giant apes scattered in panic when they saw that their leader had been killed. However, how could they have escaped from the hands of Sheng Feiyue? They were annihilated one by one… Sheng Feiyue jumped onto the mountain after he had killed those silver giant apes. He faced upwards and burst into laughter, "Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, God is favouring me! This colossus obviously has an extraordinary origin. Even its dead body is an astronomical wealth. Ha ha ha ha..." "Congratulations, Senior Brother Sheng. You will become invincible throughout all the generations!" The other princes and their subordinates clapped for Sheng Feiyue and praised him in flattery. They enjoyed a noble status in the Great Wei State. However, they knew that they were nothing in front of Sheng Feiyue. The Great Wei State undoubtedly possessed outstanding national strength. However, even dozens of such Great Wei States were nothing in front of the Meteor Sect. These people could act domineeringly in the Great Wei State. However, they were nothing when it came to the bigger picture of the Meteor World. In fact, they were far inferior to Meteor Sect's powerful core disciple like Sheng Feiyue. They could only fawn over him when in his presence. "Rumble!" Sheng Feiyue was still feeling pleased with himself when the energy of the entire world suddenly congealed together. Countless 'spirit energies' suddenly came whistling towards the mountain range. Then, a powerful aura erupted from the mountain. Sheng Feiyue's complexion had darkened. Someone had beaten him to a punch! (To be continued)

24 comments, join in Chapter 521: Meteor Sect? I am not! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Sheng Feiyue saw this, and became angry. He had realized that someone had taken advantage of the distraction his fight had created. And, this person had then drilled their way inside. "Dammit! This opportunistic son of a bit*h has dared to take advantage of the distraction to go inside!" Sheng Feiyue roared. He stretched his big hand, and it emitted endless rays of light. They then transformed into a big net of light, and swept down. "Bang!" The entire mountain suddenly collapsed under the attack of this huge net. It seemed as if the sky had fallen down to the ground, and had shattered into small pieces within a split second. Subsequently, the rubble from the mountain was reduced to powder. Then, waves of strong astral winds set off and dispersed these dusts. "Bang!" A golden 'real elemental energy' appeared from below and soared into the sky. A violent turbulence surged up and around. And, a slim figure appeared along with it. He was dressed in blue clothes. His eyes looked profound, and his aura felt formidable. In fact, it seemed as if an Ancient Devil God had reincarnated. The golden divinities were boiling on Ye Xiwen's entire body. An exceptional 'fighting intention' was overflowing from his body. "Who are you?" Sheng Feiyue's ice-cold eyes flickered indefinitely. He had roared these words out loudly. He had also felt that the energy of this man who stood before his eyes was boiling ferociously. Ye Xiwen grinned and replied, "Weren't you the one who was looking for me? Don't you wish to kill me?" "You are that so-called Dragon Master?" The second prince became bewildered when he looked into Ye Xiwen eyes. He hadn't expected that the person they had been searching would appear in front of them in such a manner. Moreover, he was shocked to see that this man was much younger than he had expected. Martial Arts Experts could maintain their youthful appearance. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't a several hundred or thousand years old expert who had maintained his young appearance. Instead, he was very young! He looked fifty-years-old at most. How was it possible for such a young man to become a great master of alchemy? However, it must be true. Otherwise, Jiang Zhou Qing would never have gone to meet him personally. Jiang Zhou Qing had been practicing since several hundred years. Yet, even he couldn't surpass this Dragon Master. "You are a liar. Isn't that right? You are a liar because you claim that you are a great master of alchemy. You wanted to sneak into our Great Wei Empire, right…? What's your objective?" the third prince exclaimed in anger when he saw Ye Xiwen's real face for the first time. "Humph! Where do you come from? You have dared to infiltrate the forces of our Meteor Sect. You have bad intentions. Wait and watch how I crack down on you and find out about your secrets." Sheng Feiyue sneered. His eyes didn't flicker anymore. His terrifying aura rushed out like an overwhelming vast ocean in order to suppress Ye Xiwen's soul. "I didn't know where to look for you. However, I didn't know that you yourself would appear in front of me. The time spent on trying to find you here-and- there didn't go in vain after all!" Sheng Feiyue was at Sage Small Perfection Realm. He was leaps and bounds ahead of the Sage Peak Realm. Earlier, Ye Xiwen would've been no match for Sheng Feiyue even if his fighting strength had been strong enough to rival that of the experts of the Sage Peak Realm. Not to mention that Sheng Feiyue was considered a very tyrannical expert even in the Sage Small Perfection Realm! "It doesn't matter what your background is. You have dared to take advantage of me. You are courting death!" Sheng Feiyue shouted. His murderous aura surged up. He was a bit wary of Ye Xiwen at first. However, he didn't let that bother him for long. He belonged to a prestigious family, and he was a heaven's pride expert of his generation. Also, he had been unceasingly obtaining resources from the Meteor Sect. So, he wasn't worried about a 'random cultivator with no background' even if the said-expert also had good qualifications. The contest between a 'random cultivator with no background' and an expert of a legitimate sect would be one-sided even if they were to be in the same realm. Their access to resources, spirit stones, divine tools, power techniques, and so on just weren't on same level. Sheng Feiyue extended his big hand. Endless rays of light suddenly burst from it, and swept out towards Ye Xiwen to crush him. But, Ye Xiwen wasn't going to be outdone. Golden divine beams had covered his entire body. In fact, it seemed as if Sheng Feiyue was fighting against a golden statue. "Bang!" The fight had reached a superheated stage in no time. And, both sides had started resorting to extreme methods. The entire space had shattered into pieces under their attacks. Their battle had reached to the sky. Those experts of the Great Wei Empire turned pale with fright. They were visibly surprised by Ye Xiwen's strength. All of them were familiar with Sheng Feiyue's strength. He had merely been practicing for three hundred years, but he had already entered the Sage Small Perfection Realm. He was a heaven's pride expert of his generation. And, there was almost no doubt that he would advance to great sage realm in the future. He possessed incredible strength. That leader beast of Sage Small Perfection Realm had also been slaughtered by him a moment ago. So, they had seen the extent of Sheng Feiyue's strength. The ape leader was also in Sage Small Perfection Realm. Still, there had been a difference of cloud and mud between their strengths! Sheng Feiyue's strength was so tyrannical that it was difficult to find a match for him among his peers. Perhaps, only those top heaven's pride experts could overshadow him… They had thought that Ye Xiwen would only have the strength of the Sage Peak Realm at most. However, it didn't seem like he was in a disadvantageous position while fighting with Sheng Feiyue. And, this had left them in extreme shock. "I didn't expect you to have some means of your own. However, that's also useless. After all, what are you in comparison to our Meteor Sect?" Sheng Feiyue hadn't obtained the upper hand over Ye Xiwen yet. And, this had surprised him. He would have understood if Ye Xiwen had been in the Sage Small Perfection Realm. However, he didn't seem to be. In fact, he appeared to be in the intermediate stage of sage realm. But, Ye Xiwen had still managed to match him until now. And, this had surpassed Sheng Feiyue's imagination by far… Ye Xiwen slightly raised the corner of his mouth. His fighting strength had made a huge progress after he had made the breakthrough into the intermediate stage of sage realm. He couldn't have dealt with Sheng Feiyue so easily if he had still been in the initial stage of sage realm. In fact, he would've been in a very difficult situation; he would've had to retreat instead. After all, his realm differed by a lot from that of Sheng Feiyue's. Sheng Feiyue had started operating the 'Green Rainbow Meteor Cultivation Method' inside his body. This was a very tyrannical power technique of the Meteor Sect. This technique had emerged out of the Meteor Sect's name. A starry-white light was emanating from his entire body. He was attacking with his entire strength, and wasn't holding back. "I'll send you on your way to hell!" Sheng Feiyue flashed an evil grin. He brandished his palm. This was the Meteor Sect's technique – 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm'. Only a few people in the Meteor Sect knew this palm technique. In fact, most of the core disciples hadn't even gotten the opportunity to learn this technique. However, Sheng Feiyue had gotten this opportunity because he was a core disciple and a heaven's pride expert. This was enough to determine how praiseworthy this palm technique was. That palm slapped through the clouds that hung from the sky, and broke down the entire blue dome of heaven. The 'killing intention' was clearly overflowing to the heavens. However, he was surprised to see Ye Xiwen smiling in the face of this attack. Ye Xiwen suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and brandished his palm. However, it wasn't the 'Fire Cloud's Falling Sky Hand' this time. Rather, it was the 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm'! Moreover, Ye Xiwen's hands had somehow displayed it in its truest form! It wasn't entirely in its purest form so to say… However, it looked more tyrannical than the attack that had been launched by Sheng Feiyue. This was because of the star power in Ye Xiwen's body. "Bang!" The two big hands suddenly collided in the sky. Countless shadows of those two palms filled the entire sky. And, it seemed as if these palm-shadows were ripping the vast sky apart. The world shook and collapsed under their attacks. The 'murderous energy' flew from the sky and surged all over. The scene appeared similar to the 'Judgement Day'. It seemed as if cold water had been poured onto those princes and other people of the Great Wei Empire. Chills ran down their spines. They looked insignificant in front of this level of fighting power. They could only acquire the position of the Emperor of Great Wei Empire. However, they were undoubtedly insignificant in front of these genuine young elites. Only a colossal force like the Meteor Sect could have nurtured such young elites. Indeed, there were other people that had such exceptional innate talent. However, other people used to get a pitiful amount of resources when compared to the disciples of these big sects. A good amount of resources was the so-called basic requirement for effective cultivation. In fact, it was considered a joke if someone wanted to make the breakthroughs without having the unceasing support of these resources. "How is it possible?" a look of fright flashed on Sheng Feiyue's face. He wasn't shocked because Ye Xiwen was able to contend against him. Instead, it was because Ye Xiwen had used the 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' technique. After all, this was the Meteor Sect's secret technique. "Are you also a disciple of the Meteor Sect...? It's impossible!" [Could Ye Xiwen also be a disciple of the Meteor Sect?] He had never seen Ye Xiwen. But then again… the Meteor Sect had several million disciples. How could he recognize all of them? However, another thought crossed his mind. It would've been normal if he hadn't heard about an ordinary person. But, Ye Xiwen wasn't ordinary. He had a very high cultivation level at a very young age. So, how come he had never heard of him? He didn't believe that Ye Xiwen could be a hidden cultivator or whatnot. A chicken is a chicken, and a Phoenix is a Phoenix. A chicken can't be compared with a Phoenix even if a Phoenix has met with a misfortune. Only the cultivation of a person is the factor that can decide whether they are a chicken or a Phoenix. A Phoenix will always be a Phoenix. A Phoenix will stand out even if they have sunk into a group of chickens. Their shine won't get concealed. [Could he be some elder's foreign disciple?] This wasn't impossible. After all, the Meteor Sect had so many elders, and many of them were eccentric. They would teach top secret techniques to outsiders because they considered it to be their predestined affinity; the so-called 'Immortal fate is beyond everything'. And, Ye Xiwen's 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' technique also seemed somewhat unfamiliar. Therefore, this ought to be the case... Of course, Sheng Feiyue would never get to know the real reason why Ye Xiwen's 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' technique looked strange. It wasn't because he hadn't learnt it properly. And, it wasn't because he had misinterpreted some vital concept while learning it from a copy of a secret martial arts book that was left behind by some master. Instead, it was because Ye Xiwen had used the 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' technique for the first time in his life. He had certainly used the mysterious space in that split second to deduce the mysteries of the 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' technique. However, it would obviously look a bit strange since he had used it for the first time. So, this out of his hands. "Meteor Sect? I am not!" Ye Xiwen grinned. His snow-white teeth somewhat horrified the people. "It's over!" Ye Xiwen spoke-up. The 'killing intention' flashed in his eyes. Ye Xiwen had never shown any leniency in killing his enemies. 'A tooth for a tooth, and an eye for an eye' was his motto. If someone wanted to fight with him… he would certainly do that. And, if someone wanted to kill him… he would certainly kill that person. It was that simple. The news of this mustn't spread outside. It would cause a huge uproar… whether it was about the involvement of Great Wei Empire or about the corpse of the star colossus… The Great Wei Empire wasn't a very big empire for the Meteor Sect. However, this matter concerned Meteor Sect. And, they wouldn't allow other people to interfere. In fact, they would become extremely enraged if they found out about the things that were going on here. And, he reckoned that he would be chased by a group of great sage experts if the news of the corpse of the star colossus got out. Ye Xiwen knew that he must not leave any clue! (To be continued)

30 comments, join in Chapter 522: Slaughters Sheng Feiyue! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga This was a very realistic problem. The so- called 'killing people and preventing them from divulging a secret' was so. Ye Xiwen would certainly die if they didn't die. He might escape if one great sage expert were to chase him. However, what about a group of great sage experts? How would he escape then? Also, these people wanted to kill him as well. Therefore, letting them live could prove to be even more troublesome for him. Ye Xiwen deliberated for a while. He then decided to put away the 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm'. He had obtained this palm technique from the blood-red-clothed Young Master. However, he had never used it. In fact, he hadn't even practiced it. Right now, he wanted to annihilate these people in the shortest span of time. Otherwise, some formidable ancient demon beasts might arrive here. And, that would be too bad. One mustn't forget that each of these beasts possessed extraordinary 'spiritual intelligence'. This 'spiritual intelligence' wasn't inferior to the intelligence of an ordinary human. Moreover, many of them had been alive since thousands of years, and were simply old foxes. So, why wouldn't they have any interest in the treasures that were present here? Ye Xiwen attacked without any hesitation after he thought of this. His entire body transformed into a universe. This was a universe that had existed since eternity; a universe that was spread everywhere - An Eternal Universe! The so-called Eternal Universe was the collection of space and time. And, only God could control space and time. Ye Xiwen's Universe was continuously growing. In fact, there would come a day when he would have so much power that he would be able to control the entirety of time and space. And, nobody would be able to do him any harm when that would happen. He hadn't become that terrifying at present. However, faint signs of it were present. His Universe would transform into a realm one day. However, this was a matter for the future. Ye Xiwen's fist suddenly pressed down like a huge star. It carried terrifying momentum. In fact, it seemed like a boundless galaxy as it swept down on Sheng Feiyue to crush him. Ye Xiwen had attacked with all of his strength. This was the first time that he had attacked with his entire strength ever since he had made the breakthrough into the intermediate stage of sage realm. So, this attack was entirely different from the ones that he had performed when he was in the initial stage of sage realm. After all, he had made a substantial progress. Ye Xiwen's ferocious aura arrived over Sheng Feiyue's head, and overwhelmed him completely. It looked incredible. Sheng Feiyue had started his journey many years ago. And, he had become a famous heaven's pride expert in a very short span of time after he had entered the Meteor Sect. However, the Meteor World and the True Martial World were different. The True Martial World had changed into a place where independent warlords used to compete for the power that had been vacated with the decline of the True Martial University. However, the Meteor Sect was still in its flourishing period. The Meteor Sect alone was the largest force. Therefore, there weren't many competitions taking place in the Meteor Sect. The heaven's pride experts were particularly considered to be isolated. And, they weren't allowed to compete with each other… at least not until they had reached the sage realm. Therefore, Sheng Feiyue had never fought with the heaven's pride experts of his generation. Let alone with a person like Ye Xiwen who had taken the lives of many heaven's pride experts! He may have been engaged in the occasional fights, but he had never been beaten down before. Moreover, Ye Xiwen was much younger than him… Ye Xiwen used his entire strength, and didn't hold back one bit. The 'Big Bang Stardust Fist' rushed through several hundred miles. It smashed the void into pieces wherever it went, and the chaos was unleashed from the other side. Then, this startling attack suddenly materialised in front of Sheng Feiyue. "Bang!" Sheng Feiyue's 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' got crushed in an instant. The starlight that had spread across the entire sky also vanished. Instead, Ye Xiwen's fist exploded like the Big Bang. "Crack Crack!" the horrifying sound of breaking of bones could be heard. Sheng Feiyue's hands had gotten crushed! After that, his body entered the spatial fault. The space broke down and he sank into it. His entire body had been drenched in blood. He was in a tragic state. The scene looked too horrible! "Senior Brother Sheng has sustained injuries?!" Those people of the Imperial Clan of the Great Wei State were left dumbstruck as they saw this scene. Sheng Feiyue was a God-like figure to them. However, he had been seriously injured by this 'Dragon Master'. He was considered among the top- notch heaven's pride experts of the Meteor Sect. However, he was left powerless and unable to fight back. It seemed as if they had been brought back to their senses by the sound of a loud and ear- piercing thunderclap. However, the power of Ye Xiwen's fist didn't decrease. It swept down and struck Sheng Feiyue's main body. His bones began to issue gurgle sound under the ferocious pressure. And, blood gushed out from his entire body. Sheng Feiyue was struggling with all his strength. His body had begun to transform into flames under the starlight. He looked like a burning fire ball… like a star that had illuminated the Eternal Universe. These burning flames began to burn Ye Xiwen's fist. This produced a noise. It wasn't clear how hot those flames were… However, they looked exceptionally ferocious! Ye Xiwen laughed loudly. [You think this will work?] An ordinary person would've gotten burnt to death by these terrifying flames. This was also one of the hidden cards of Sheng Feiyue's. However, Ye Xiwen had practiced the 'Tyrant Body Technique' till the seventh layer. In fact, he could even contend against a sage tool with his bare hands. So, one could imagine how ferocious his body had become. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be defeated by such a counter-attack. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's fist had transformed into a huge star. And, it refused to bow under the impact of this counterattack. Instead, his fist pounded even more quickly. Those princes and other experts felt as if two stars had suddenly collided in a boundless Universe. The world had collapsed, and everyone had been left to tremble with fear. "Aah!" Sheng Feiyue screamed. He appeared to be in an exceptionally dire situation. Ye Xiwen's ferocious fist had already crushed his entire body. His flesh had also begun to tear apart. And, his thick bones had become exposed. His blood had started to splash out as well. It was evident that he had sustained very serious injuries. He realized that he had messed with the wrong person. "I won't go down!" Sheng Feiyue roared, and his voice stirred the horizon. However, Ye Xiwen didn't show any mercy as his mountain-like fist slammed down on Sheng Feiyue. "Rumble!" Sheng Feiyue's bones got shattered, and more of his blood splashed out. It looked terrible. His internal organs had been destroyed. And, his soul was also annihilated. Ye Xiwen searched for Sheng Feiyue's storage ring. Sheng Feiyue was extremely rich when compared to a troubled person like Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen alternated between being rich and poor. He swept in his divine sense, and found an abundance of wealth inside Sheng Feiyue's stock. The amount of 'Primary Spirit Dans' was alone more than 30 million. And, the total wealth surpassed 100 million after the value of the various other treasures were added to it. It could be said that Sheng Feiyue had been far wealthier than ordinary sage experts… Of course, even this wealth of 100 million might not be enough for a spendthrift like Ye Xiwen. "You... you dared to kill him!" The Third Prince was shocked. His heart sank as he realized that Sheng Feiyue had been killed. "It seems like I did!" Ye Xiwen replied in a carefree manner. He was standing in the sky, and he was looking down at everyone like they were already dead. That's right! He was looking at a group of dead people! It seemed as if Ye Xiwen was looking into their eyes. A chill ran down the Second Prince's spine. He had suddenly realized that Ye Xiwen could kill all of them. "You want to kill us!" the Second Prince spoke-up. His complexion had changed very significantly since he couldn't stop himself from getting scared this time. He knew that Ye Xiwen would kill all of them in order to preserve the secret of this place. Otherwise, the secret of this place would certainly leak out. "Run! Quickly!" The Third Prince shouted. He transformed into a streamer of light and promptly flew in one direction. Everyone else also flew away in different directions in quick succession. He believed that Ye Xiwen wouldn't be able to kill all of them if they escaped in different directions. And, he was obviously hoping that he would be able to escape while Ye Xiwen was killing the other people. "Humph!" Ye Xiwen snorted. The 'spirit energies' began to condense frantically in the air. Then, a super-huge wave condensed and swept out. It then condensed into a great seal that filled the sky. And, the 'Inverting Ocean Seal' suddenly swept down. "Bang!" A huge explosion occurred. A vast space got smashed to pieces. The chaos leaked out from the cracks in the space, and overflowed the entire sky. "Bang!" Those people wanted to escape. However, it was impossible for them to match Ye Xiwen's speed. Ye Xiwen had destroyed them in a split second. 'Overturning the Heavens Seal' was a wonderful ancient technique. One could even overturn the blue dome of heaven if one practiced this technique to the peak. Ye Xiwen practised this technique all the time. However, he had grasped it only recently. In fact, he hadn't even practiced the 'Inverting Ocean Seal' to the peak. So, it wasn't clear when he would grasp the 'Overturning the Heavens Seal'. Let alone, practice it to the pinnacle… Ye Xiwen wiped-clean the traces after he had annihilated these people. He then conveniently collected the dead body of the massive star colossus. This star colossus was enormous. So, it was very difficult for Ye Xiwen to collect it and put it inside… even though it was dead. Fortunately, he had the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. So, he placed the star colossus inside the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. An ordinary spatial ring or some other space type divine tool would have broken down if it had been used in place of the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. Ye Xiwen had only consumed a little bit of this star colossus's star core in order to make the breakthrough to the intermediate stage of sage realm. After that, Ye Xiwen started to play with Sheng Feiyue's 'divine tool palace'. He could only sigh at this huge world since it was full of extraordinary wonders. Someone had actually made a sage tool out of a palace! Moreover, it could attack as well as defend! Such a divine tool was extremely rare. In fact, it was rarer than those inner divine armours and those other defensive divine tools… However, this wasn't enough to tempt Ye Xiwen. After all, Ye Mo was undoubtedly more important to him than these rare divine tools. Ye Xiwen would gamble everything if it meant waking up Ye Mo from his slumber. Not to mention that Ye Mo had become like this for his sake. In fact, Ye Xiwen would've long become a cold corpse if Ye Mo hadn't saved him. Ye Xiwen had realized that this star colossus was a treasure house of herbs. Its corpse was like an incomparably huge stockpile of resources. He had only absorbed a little bit of the star core, and even that had been enough for him to make the breakthrough into the intermediate stage of sage realm. Therefore, Ye Mo would surely get well soon if he swallowed this entire colossus. Ye Xiwen cast a spell to wake up Ye Mo when this thought crossed his mind. Ye Xiwen could take the initiative to wake up Ye Mo… thanks to the growing number of sage tools which Ye Mo had swallowed. Ye Xiwen no longer needed to wait for him to wake up on his own. However, Ye Xiwen wouldn't have wanted to wake him up as soon as possible if it wasn't important. (To be continued)

It had transformed into a freezing astral wind at higher altitudes. The sound of fluttering of clothes echoed in the vicinity. However, Ye Xiwen didn't seem to care as that cold wind blew against his face. In fact, he didn't even use his 'real elemental energy' to block the wind! "You are fortunate that you found a dead star colossus!" Ye Mo's voice echoed inside Ye Xiwen's mind. His voice was still weak. However, his condition had improved a lot after he had swallowed that palace sage tool. Ye Xiwen nodded. He agreed with Ye Mo's point of view. After all, the True Martial University's decline was enough to guess the tyranny of an adult star colossus. Such a star colossus might not appear for ten-thousand years. However, it would cause an enormous calamity once it had appeared. Therefore, this was an enormous opportunity for him even though he had only obtained the dead body of a star colossus. Even the great sage realm experts would go crazy over it! "You should be able to recover after you've swallowed the dead body of this star colossus!" Ye Xiwen replied. He believed that Ye Mo would rejuvenate by using the exuberant vitality of this star colossus. "Indeed, but..." Ye Mo shook his head and said, "This is an enormous opportunity for you. And, it could give you a huge boost. So, it would be extremely unfortunate if I swallowed it!" "What are you saying?" Ye Xiwen asked. "This star colossus belongs to the same race as the one that is sealed in the True Martial World. But, this one is merely an infant!" Ye Mo's words left Ye Xiwen speechless. This star colossus had been so dreadful at infancy! So, one couldn't even imagine how dreadful an adult star colossus might be. However, it needed to be mentioned that an adult star colossus appeared as big as a star, and used to feed on planets. "However, even this one's strength clearly surpasses the great sage realm. Moreover, the blood slave that you control can be used for controlling this star colossus. This star colossus is dead. However, only its soul has been destroyed. Its body is still the same as it was when it was alive. Moreover, I am afraid that its corpse will eventually give birth to a resentful soul if things go on like this. And, that would bring an enormous disaster!" Ye Mo explained. "Your blood slave has also been condensed from the soul of a star colossus. It displays only a small might at present. However, it could contend against the experts of half-step great sage realm if you integrate it with this star colossus's formidable body. Moreover, your blood slave will eventually enter the half- step great sage realm once it has absorbed the entire soul of the star colossus that is inside the blood pond. And, it will be able to contend against the great sage experts when that happens. It will provide you with an enormous amount of protection as a result. In fact, even that Mu Sheng Jie can't harm you if you have the protection of great sage level!" "Plus, I don't need it urgently. Moreover, I will recover quickly once you have the strength of great sage realm. After all, the level of strength decides whether a matter is difficult or not. A lot of problems can be solved very easily if you have enough strength!" Ye Xiwen nodded. He didn't hesitate after he had heard Ye Mo's words. He first made the blood slave try and control the dead body of that star colossus. It could be said that the blood slave was doing the job here. However, Ye Xiwen's soul was connected to the blood slave. Therefore, it was no different than him doing the job. After this, a pair of huge wings appeared on his back. His wings suddenly fluttered. He transformed into a streamer, and disappeared into the horizon. A heaven's pride expert of the Meteor Sect had died in the heavenly pit. This news should've caused a huge sensation. However, this news had been drowned by the other news that had proliferated from the heavenly pit. The secrets inside the heavenly pit had gradually been dug out along with the arrival of a great number of experts. Even the information about the bereaved had been excavated with the passage of time. It turned out that these ruins belonged to the bereaved 'Third Eye Race'. It was reported that the members of the 'Third Eye Race' had a third eye on their foreheads. However, the rest of their body was similar to that of humans. One such race had been present among the races which were purged by the Meteor Sect in the past. Therefore, this news had proliferated even more quickly. It was reported that this was the ancestral land of the 'Third Eye Race'. So, this was their foundation place. It had certainly declined. However, there should be many incredible treasures present inside. Three years' time had passed in a flash. The bereaved were no longer part of rumours alone. Rather, there was conclusive evidence now. In fact, someone had even seen the bereaved people. And, it was reported that the high-level experts of the entire Meteor Sect were extremely concerned because of the appearance of the bereaved. Thus, they had sent a large number of experts here. There was a city outside the heavenly pit. This city had become popular because of the heavenly pit. Hundreds of thousands of people had gathered in this city in a short time. And, the majority of them were cultivators. A scholar-looking man was sitting upright on the main seat inside a lively restaurant. Many travel-worn experts had surrounded him. He faintly opened his mouth and said, "You newcomers think that you will find some treasures inside this heavenly pit. However, I will suggest you that it would be better to not provoke some people. "The Small Jupiter of the Meteor Sect is an example of such a person. His strength has already entered the half-step great sage realm. It is difficult to find a match for him in the younger generation. In fact, nobody can outmatch him… apart from those old great sage experts. "However, almost all the great sage experts in this Meteor World belong to the Meteor Sect. After all, this is their territory. One or two great sage experts may occasionally arrive from outside, However, they don't dare to mess with him either. This is the reason why he has suddenly risen to fame." "Of course, how can we dare to provoke the experts of the Meteor Sect…? The Small Jupiter had earned his fame long ago. It is said that he will soon enter the great sage realm. How can we provoke someone like him?" "Yeah... It's best that we don't mess with those people of the Meteor Sect!" Many 'random cultivators with no background' spoke-up one after another. Offending the True Martial University in the True Martial World might not be a big matter. However, offending the Meteor Sect in the Meteor World was akin to courting death. "Isn't there any other ferocious expert apart from him?" someone curiously asked. They had arrived here very recently. So, they wanted to know about the situation here. Three years had passed. However, those who wanted to fish up some gold… or who wanted some treasures… were still arriving unceasingly. Many people had died inside. And, their bodies had been ravaged by the ancient demon beasts. However, there were many who had obtained a lot of benefits in the pit, and had soared to the sky after that. Therefore, this place's allure had attracted many people, and they had been arriving here unceasingly. This was probably an example of the saying 'seeking riches and honour amidst danger'. "There's another calamity star apart from the Meteor Sect's Small Jupiter. Nobody knows his name. He usually dresses in green clothes, and carries an 8 or 9 years old girl along with him. Everyone calls him the 'Green-Clothed Traveller'. He had become famous after a fight two years ago. He had once managed to escape from a great sage expert. And, an expert of half-step great sage realm has also died by his hands. He is incomparably dreadful! "These two are the most terrifying experts. But, there's no need to worry as long as you don't run into them. Of course, you can only blame your fate if you unluckily come across the attack of a great sage expert!" that scholar laughed mischievously and said. Everyone nodded. This was true – great sage realm experts weren't the real danger here. They were certainly very powerful. However, they wouldn't move into action without any reason. After all, those old and sly foxes wouldn't move into action unless they had obtained some concrete information. Therefore, sage experts were the main powerhouses that were active inside the heavenly pit. And, these two individuals were the most frightening among them. "Tap, tap, tap..." the sound of footsteps came from downstairs. It was gentle, and in rhythm. A green shadow appeared in front of everyone along with the sound of footsteps. They were surprised to see a handsome young man dressed up in green. He didn't look very outstanding from appearance. However, he seemed aloof. There was a little girl by his side. She was dressed up in a sky-blue long skirt; her skirt also had silver embroidery on it. Her face looked delicate and pretty. Her complexion looked a bit red. Her eyebrows were slanted, and her mouth was small. A timid expression was hung on her face. She looked approximated 8 or 9 years old. Her long and silver hair was rolled up into two knots on the top of her head. Two silver bangs were softly hanging down over her eyes; they were dangling in a rhythmic fashion. "Silver hair..." Everyone noticed that this young girl had silver hair. After all, this made her look very peculiar. However, they then noticed that the young man with her was dressed in green clothes. And, they immediately remembered the Green-Clothed Traveller that scholar had told them about. [Isn't that?] [Dresses in green clothes, and carries a young girl along]. Even that scholar had held his breath when he had seen them arrive. He had recognized who this person was. It couldn't be anyone else. After all, only that Green-Clothed Traveller could dare to dress up like that. It wasn't that nobody had tried to impersonate him. However, he had quickly found out about those who had done so. And then, he had killed them. In fact, he had killed around a dozen imposters in a short span of time. Thus, nobody had dared to impersonate the Green-Clothed Traveller after that. That little girl obviously became a bit timid when she saw so many people around. So, she grabbed that Green-Clothed Traveller's big hand. However, the Green-Clothed Traveller merely looked at the little girl with a faint smile on his face. Then, he took her to a table. Everyone held their breaths as they saw these two young individuals – one big and one small. They didn't dare to say anything. Ye Xiwen wasn't too surprised when he noticed that everyone had held their breaths. He merely picked-up Xiao Ya, and made her sit on a chair. The little girl sat there in a cute manner. But, she didn't say anything. Ye Xiwen ordered some dishes. The trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth under the mask. He had spent these three years fighting. More and more people had continued to arrive since an increasing number of things had been discovered inside the heavenly pit. Moreover, it seemed that the craze for this place wouldn't quieten down in the several decades to come… or even the several hundred years after. This three years' time had a very big effect on him. His slightly-unstable realm had consolidated, and had become stable. He had also made narrow escapes many times. However, the first one had been the direst of them all. This was when the Meteor Sect had investigated about Sheng Feiyue's death. And, Ye Xiwen had attracted the Meteor Sect's rage because of that. Consequently, they had sent a great sage expert to kill him! He was eventually forced to merge the blood slave with that star colossus. And, its fighting strength had increased very drastically as a result. This is why he was able to escape from that great sage expert. That fight had resulted in a bloodbath. Ye Xiwen had escaped after sustaining serious injuries. Moreover, a senior half-step great sage expert of the Meteor Sect had perished in an instance that had taken place later. He even clashed with the Small Jupiter one time. And, it had indeed been very terrible. However, it was time to leave. Too many changes had occurred in the last three years' time. For example… the Great Wei Empire had already elected a new Emperor. (To be continued)

41 comments, join in Chapter 524: Hallucinatory Star Field! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga The Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince had died at Ye Xiwen's hands. And, the Big Prince had been suppressed as well. Therefore, only the Twenty-third Prince had remained amongst the favourites. So, he had eventually obtained the title of the Emperor. And, people's expectations had again fallen into his hands. He had ascended the throne two years ago. However, not everyone was convinced with his credentials. So, the Wood Dragon had to come out of the heavenly pit in order to help him in stabilizing his regime. However, Ye Xiwen had decided to wander inside the heavenly pit. In fact, that great sage expert of the Northern Dipper had also searched about for the treasures for several months. However, he hadn't found anything worthwhile here. Therefore, he had left much sooner. Many other great sage experts had also left in a similar fashion. They had certainly found many exotic treasures. But, these treasures weren't very useful for them. Otherwise, Ye Xiwen and that Small Jupiter wouldn't have been considered as the most ferocious people around... This little girl's name was Xiao Ya. Ye Xiwen had met her when she was being chased by some ancient demon beasts. He had rescued her in a very convenient fashion. He had then asked her about how she had gotten there. But, she didn't know anything about herself. In fact, it seemed as if her memory had been sealed by someone. She only remembered her name — Xiao Ya. Therefore, Ye Xiwen had no choice but to take her along. Fortunately, Xiao Ya was exceptionally cute. She never quarrelled, and never made any noise. In other words, she was far well-behaved than that wolf cub. Therefore, he had happily kept her by his side. His cultivation had strengthened enormously in these three years. His cultivation of intermediate stage of sage realm had consolidated by now. So, he could make the breakthrough into the late stage of the sage realm at will. It could be estimated that he would be able to contend against the experts of the Sage Great Perfection Realm without the support of the star colossus once he had made the breakthrough. Ye Xiwen had disguised himself, and he had even used the 'Restraining Breath Technique' to transform the star colossus into a human form. However, too many flaws had remained despite his best efforts. Consequently, he would still be exposed to danger if he were to come across a top expert. It was very important for him to be strong enough to deal with these external forces. He didn't get much time to think since the food arrived soon after. He obviously didn't need to eat. However, Xiao Ya did. So, he only observed Xiao Ya's gentle and refined movements as she ate. Her small mouth would swallow the food very slowly. However, she was eating at a very quick speed for someone her age. Ye Xiwen was watching someone eating so gently yet with such ferocity for the first time. Xiao Ya had soon consumed everything that had been set on the table. She then turned her small face towards Ye Xiwen. She seemingly felt a bit embarrassed. And, Ye Xiwen was also left to wonder. How could her small belly pack so much? Ye Xiwen didn't stay once Xiao Ya had finished eating. He picked-up Xiao Ya, transformed into a streamer, and disappeared into the city. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after both individuals had departed. After all, Ye Xiwen's deterrent force had affected them very significantly under the shade of the 'Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree'. Moreover, they had been discussing about him when he had arrived. Subsequently, they were afraid that he would kill them if he were in a bad mood. The people of the Meteor Sect had also received this news. So, they arrived here not long after Ye Xiwen had left. However, they were unaware that Ye Xiwen had already flown off into the space. "Where… are we going?" Xiao Ya looked at him, and asked in her soft voice. Xiao Ya was standing beside Ye Xiwen above the escaping light high up in the sky. The loud astral winds in the upper atmosphere had nearly overshadowed her voice. However, Ye Xiwen had still heard it since the astral wind couldn't affect his hearing. "We're going home!" Ye Xiwen gently smiled and replied. He had been wandering for several years now. So, he wanted to return. However, he didn't wish to use the Northern Dipper's transmission portals to return. Instead, he wanted to return on his own! He would have to fight Cao Yuyu in another ten years. Cao Yuyu had entered the Sage Great Perfection Realm a few years ago. So, it wasn't clear to what extent he would have grown after ten years. Ye Xiwen was no match for him as per his current cultivation. Moreover, the star colossus couldn't help him in this case. In fact, he couldn't even reveal it since it would be too bad for him if the high- level experts found out about it. Moreover, this was his trump card. So, he would take it out only if he was in a life or death situation. He could only strive to promote himself to the peak of sage realm in these ten years. Only then could he contend against Cao Yuyu. Not much time was left! "Home..." this word was very strange for Xiao Ya. She didn't remember anything when Ye Xiwen had met her. She didn't even know how she had arrived inside the heavenly pit. The first thing she remembered was that she was trying to hide from those ancient demon beasts that were chasing her. "Yes!" Ye Xiwen nodded. He had already made a plan. He would make Xiao Ya enter the True Martial University after their return because he had found out that she possessed dreadful talent. He had met her one year ago. And, he had taught her the 'Bright Jade Cultivation Technique' six months ago. This was the technique that he had used for laying his foundation in the past. Who could have imagined that she would make the breakthrough into the Xiantian Realm in just six months? It had nearly depressed Ye Xiwen to death! He had gone through so many trials in order to make that breakthrough. He alone knew how many dangerous expeditions he had gone on. However, Xiao Ya hadn't needed to do anything. She had automatically made the breakthrough into the Xiantian Realm. In fact, Ye Xiwen hadn't even given her any medicinal pills for support... He hadn't given her a medicinal pill because she wasn't like him. He could digest those pills with the help of his mysterious space. Those pills could neither have any bizarre effect on him, nor could they shake his foundation. However, the fact that it had worked on him didn't mean that it would work on others as well. So, he wanted to make her practice for a few years so that he could observe her and polish her foundation. Who could have imagined that she would improve at such a lightning speed? She had entered the Xiantian realm in just six months! Such talent was enough to blow him away. In fact, she was talented enough to shatter the pride of those heaven's pride experts. Thus, he had sprouted the plan to make Xiao Ya enter the True Martial University after his return. However, he wouldn't let her join the 'Hidden Star Peak'. Instead, he'd have her enlist in some other heritage. After all, the 'Hidden Star Peak' was in an extremely miserable condition. In fact, the entire heritage was in ruins. It could be said that they would have kept on trying to mend the complete version of the 'Hidden Star Scripture' generation-after-generation if Ye Xiwen hadn't mended it for them. It wasn't the time for the University to recruit the disciples. That only happened once in a hundred years. However, it wasn't a difficult thing for him to make a person enter the True Martial University. This was due to his status of a core disciple as well as a heaven's pride expert. In fact, it would be a piece of cake for him. Moreover, people would always welcome such a genius with open arms. It had been a grand occasion for Ye Xiwen when he was in Yi Yuan School and the True Martial University had opened its gates to recruit new disciples. After all, it was a once- in-a-century event. Therefore, he had put his entire effort to get recruited. However, putting someone through the admission process was nothing more than a slight show of strength and status for the current Ye Xiwen. His status and strength had changed... So had his vision… Ants on the ground can never see the eagles hovering in the sky! "Let's go!" Ye Xiwen stated in a loud voice. Then, he suddenly accelerated the speed of his flying light. He tore his way through the vast sky, and flew out of the Meteor World's atmosphere. -------------- "What the hell is this place?" Ye Xiwen was in the void. He was standing above a desolate planet. There was nothing in sight. The starry space was spread as far as he could see. He had arrived in this section of space after flying for three months since he had left the Meteor World. However, he had been wandering here for one month now, and he still couldn't get out of this starry space. "Hallucinatory Star Field!" Ye Xiwen checked in his star atlas and exclaimed. He had gotten hold of the Northern Dipper's top secret star atlas. The star atlas stated that this star region was known as the 'Hallucinatory Star Field' because it was very difficult to travel through this section of the space. The space was overlapping, and there were many natural transmission portals lying around. Therefore, one might end up passing through one of these natural transmission portals if one weren't careful. Consequently, one would be sent back to the beginning of the region. This place wasn't as dangerous as some other parts of the space. However, many people had gotten trapped here, and had eventually died. Ye Xiwen shouldn't have needed these many days to cross this place since he had sage realm cultivation. Moreover, he also had deployed his demon wings. However, he had still been wandering in this region for one month now… Xiao Ya was cutely standing beside him. She didn't say anything. She merely raised her small face and looked at Ye Xiwen. She seldom spoke. In fact, she wouldn't have uttered a single word in this one month if Ye Xiwen hadn't asked her to. "Let's go and have a look!" Ye Xiwen had detected some fluctuations. They had seemingly resulted from a fight that was happening far away. The fluctuations were very fine since they had transmitted from far away. However, he had still detected them. And, he had become excited because the people who were fighting could turn out to be some acquaintances. And, they could possibly guide him out of this place if that were the case. Ye Xiwen had only flown forward for a moment when he saw that dozens of people were closely sticking together inside a boundless star filed. And, they were surrounded by several hundred star beasts. "Damn it! How have we landed into a group of star beasts? It's not like our clan has arrived at this 'Hallucinatory Star Field' for the first time! In fact, we already knew that these star beasts inhabit this region. So, how could we land into their group by mistake? The people of Li Clan must've been responsible for this!" an expert who appeared to be in his thirties bitterly spoke-up as he brandished a blade towards those star beasts. His cultivation had already entered the initial stage of the sage realm. His blade carried extraordinary might. However, these star beasts were even more ferocious. In fact, more than one-third of them were at the sage realm. Therefore, he had slowly been forced to retreat even though he was strong. "Concentrate on them, and don't complain. What's the use of saying these things at this time? First we need to get out of here. Only then can we settle the debt with those bastards!" a middle-aged man spoke-up at this time. He stood beside that seemingly thirty-year-old expert. Ye Xiwen was surprised to see his robust tall figure. He was waving his spear as if it were a dragon. Those star beasts screamed and transformed into blood fog wherever that spear went. His cultivation made it seem as if he had entered Sage Small Perfection Realm long ago. So, a single blow from his spear was enough to kill one of those star beasts of initial stage of sage realm. Moreover, it could conveniently kill a large number of those semi-sage level star beasts as well. This battle had transformed into a bloodbath. Both sides had suffered a disastrous number of casualties. Therefore, the star beasts that had surrounded them suddenly withdrew. They no longer encircled them… Those experts relaxed to some extent after those star beasts had retreated. They promptly sat down cross-legged in the space, and began to meditate in order to restore the energy inside their bodies. The richer ones among them used medicinal pills to restore their energy. Medicinal pills were precious. However, it was more important to preserve life at such a dangerous place. "Who is there?" That spear-wielding middle-aged man shouted at this time. His knife-like sharp vision swept inside the void. "Don't worry. We mean no harm!" Two figures slowly appeared in the space. (To be continued)

Two figures slowly appeared in the space. A tall figure dressed up in green appeared in front of everyone. There was another short figure with him. This silhouette wore blue clothes. Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they noticed that this man's cultivation was only at the intermediate stage of the sage realm. So, they didn't need to worry even if this man harboured malice. After all, what could an insignificant expert of the intermediate stage of the sage realm do?! A dozen or so individuals in this group were at the intermediate stage of the sage realm. Some of them were also at the late stage of the sage realm. Moreover, some were even at the peak stage of the sage realm. That middle-aged man was at the sage small complete realm. In fact, an expert of the intermediate stage of the sage realm posed no threat to him even though he had sustained serious injuries. "Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked. He felt somewhat alienated from these two individuals. However, he wasn't very vigilant. What could an insignificant expert of the intermediate stage of the sage realm do? He could suppress him with the flick of his hand. "We are travellers. My younger sister and I have accidentally arrived in the Hallucinatory Star Field. Now, we can't find a way out of this place. We don't know if we can get out of here on our own. Can you take us along with you so that we can leave this place? It will be a big favour on us!" Ye Xiwen cupped his hands in gratitude and said. "Taking you along with us isn't an issue. However, you've also seen that we've perhaps been trapped by someone. We're already in the borderline zone of the Hallucinatory Star Field. However, we may come across an unavoidable deadly fight at any time. And, it won't be good if you were to come to harm because of us. So, you must give it a proper thought first!" the middle-aged man smiled and explained the situation in a straightforward manner. "Villa Lord!" "Villa Lord, you mustn't do this!" "Villa Lord, you mustn't do this. God knows if the Li clan may have sent these people. We may possibly get exposed if we take them along with us. And, we may have to face an endless number of star beasts if that's the case. Consequently, it would become very difficult for us to find the Green Scaled Fruit for sister-in-law!" the man who had used the blade promptly stepped forward and spoke- up. The voice of the middle-aged man hadn't even faded when many of the other experts started attempting to dissuade him in quick succession. It was evident that they were extremely careful. They were afraid that Ye Xiwen could be an enemy spy or whatnot… "I have already made up my mind!" the middle-aged man firmly said, "We have already lost many young brothers in our quest for the Green Scaled Fruit. How can I, Yan Hong Yi, lose any more of our young brothers because of my family's affair?" "Villa Lord, we are doing this willingly! Even the brothers who have died would have no complaints. Sister-in-law treats us so well. She doesn't look down on us because of our lowly background. We shall not give up… no matter what!" that blade-wielder firmly replied. "Shut up! Do you wish to lose all of our brothers here?" Yan Hong Yi — the middle- aged man chided him. "I've decided to plunder the Great Building. I've also heard that someone had once found the Green Scaled Fruit inside the Great Building. It's still much better than trying to find a needle in a haystack inside this Hallucinatory Star Field!" Ye Xiwen started to admire Yan Hong Yi as he heard his words. He had seen so many cold-blooded leaders who had never hesitated in putting the lives of their subordinates in danger for their own aim. In fact, leaders were callous and cold-hearted. Therefore, it was rare to come across an affectionate leader like Yan Hong Yi. Yan Hong Yi was extremely majestic. That blade-wielder was very reluctant to give up. However, he couldn't disobey Yan Hong Yi's words after Yan Hong Yi had scolded him. Yan Hong Yi saw that everyone was reluctant. However, they didn't dare to go against his words either. He turned around towards Ye Xiwen and said, "I'm sorry. This family drama must've amused you!" "There's nothing to pardon. The righteousness of the Villa Lord has only made me admire you even more!" Ye Xiwen cupped his hands in obeisance and stated. Yan Hong Yi sighed and said, "I am Yan Hong Yi — the Villa Lord of the Poyuan Villa that lies in the jurisdiction of Shang Yang City. And, these are my younger brothers!" "I am Ye Xiwen. It's nice to meet you, Villa Lord Yan. And, this is my little sister Xiao Ya!" Ye Xiwen gave the introduction, "We would be troubling you for a little while, Villa Lord Yan!" "No problem; no problem at all. Young Brother Ye, you are most welcome. It's not a big thing. We will go forward once we've tidied up here!" Yan Hong Yi smiled and said in a straightforward manner. He then turned around and ordered everyone to collect the corpses of those star beasts. These were top- notch materials. Moreover, many of the wounded individuals required some care. Everyone's working-speed was very quick. They were acting in harmony, and were showing mutual understanding and coordination. It was obvious that they weren't doing this for the first time. So, everyone knew that they must pack up as soon as possible. Else, the smell of blood might attract other greedy star beasts. These people were used to drifting aimlessly in the space. It was hard to tell how superior their skills were in these matters in front of an amateur like Ye Xiwen. "Our Villa Lord is kind that he has offered you shelter. You had better not be a spy of the Li Clan. Otherwise, you are done for!" the blade- wielder flew over to Ye Xiwen and warned him in a cold manner. His fierce expression scared Xiao Ya as she stood beside Ye Xiwen. So, she slightly retreated from her current position. She was visibly somewhat scared. Ye Xiwen frowned. He didn't like this. However, he didn't attack. He must get out of this Hallucinatory Star Field with the help of these people. Anyway, he would part ways with them after he had gotten out of the star field. So, there would be no dispute afterwards. Moreover, Ye Xiwen had noticed that this blade-wielding man had a bad attitude. However, he had also realized that this man was thinking about the well-being of his Poyuan Villa. Ye Xiwen certainly didn't like his attitude, but he couldn't say that he hated it either. The blade-wielder went to help other people in clearing the stuff after he had warned Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen looked at Xiao Ya with a calm and gentle expression in his eyes. [It seems like someone is targeting this team!] Ye Xiwen had caught this information from the conversation between these people. However, it didn't bother him. He would merely take out the corpse of the star colossus, and he would death-slap anyone who'd try to cause him trouble. In fact, this would hold true as long as he didn't come across a great sage expert. Moreover, he was confident that he would manage to escape even if a great sage expert were to attack. The blood slave had become increasingly proficient at controlling the star colossus. So, Ye Xiwen had stopped making it come out of the star colossus's body. Ye Xiwen simply made the blood slave reside in the body of the star colossus, and had been slowly transforming into its soul. This had indeed been a very big help for him. Ye Xiwen had averted disaster many times in these last three years' expeditions because the blood slave was controlling the star colossus. The blood slave would be able to unleash the full potential of this star colossus once it would completely transform into the soul of this star colossus. Then, even the great sage experts wouldn't be a problem anymore. Of course, this would happen after many- many years. The people of the Poyuan Villa cleared up the corpses rather quickly. Yan Hong Yi took out a ship-shaped divine tool after everyone had cleared up the area. It was a pseudo-sage tool that was used for sailing in space. However, it was good-enough for moving faster. Everyone went aboard the ship. The ship then transformed into a streamer of light, and shuttled in the Universe. Ye Xiwen was standing on the deck of this large ship. He realized that this ship was moving at such a high speed that he couldn't even feel the outside. Moreover, it was sailing so smoothly that it seemed as if it was treading on level ground. He had never ridden on a speed-type divine tool because he was a lone operator. Moreover, he also had a magical power like the devil wings. Also, he had never seen a divine tool that could catch up with his sage realm speed… However, he felt that he required a similar speed-type divine tool that could fly. This was because he had a little girl along with him now... "Young Brother Ye, don't mind that Hu Anguo's words. That guy is always like that, but he doesn't have bad intentions!" Yan Hong Yi walked up to Ye Xiwen's side and said. It appeared that there was no need to worry about driving this ship. One only needed to input the route in such flying divine tools. These tools could then fly on autopilot mode. Ye Xiwen smiled. He knew that Yan Hong Yi was referring to the person who had come to warn him a while ago. However, he didn't care about it either. After all, his temper would go out of hand in his lifetime if something like this would start to bother him. "It's all right!" Ye Xiwen laughed. "It doesn't matter!" "Where does Young Brother Ye come from, and where is he headed?" Yan Hong Yi asked. "I have come from the Meteor World, and I haven't decided where I wish to go. So, I can go anywhere. Ha ha..." Ye Xiwen laughed and replied. He hadn't decided where he wanted to go. He could go to any place that would come along the way as long as he was travelling in the direction of the True Martial World. It would obviously depend upon the situation at the time. However, he hadn't thought about any particular place that he wanted to go to. "Young Brother Ye might as well visit our Poyuan Villa since he hasn't decided where he wishes to go!" Yan Hong Yi smiled and said. He looked at Xiao Ya. He was indeed straightforward and generous. However, he was no fool. He had showed special fondness towards Ye Xiwen, and had hitched him a ride. However, it wasn't that he had made this decision in a casual manner. After all, he was the leader of a force. And, the survival of this force depended on his actions. So, he could take this force to hell if he wasn't careful. He had favoured Ye Xiwen because of Xiao Ya. He had never seen someone with such a pure bearing. She was as pure as a baby. She was without the slightest bit of contamination. Someone with such a pure mind could instinctively judge who was good and who was bad. After all, no amount of disguise could conceal one's malice from an infant. And, Xiao Ya was so close to Ye Xiwen. This showed that Ye Xiwen wasn't a bad person. This was the reason why he had allowed Ye Xiwen to come aboard the ship. And, he believed that his judgement couldn't be wrong. After all, he hadn't been the leader of this force for so many years for nothing. He must have some ability to make good judgements. Ye Xiwen obviously didn't know what was inside Yan Hong Yi's mind. However, he became very excited because of this invitation. The so-called 'a man is alive when he walks on the most dangerous roads, eats the best delicacies, has the most beautiful woman, fights the most powerful enemies, makes friends with the heroes who deserve his friendship, and does what he loves to do!' And, Ye Xiwen believed that a man like Yan Hong Yi was undoubtedly worthy of his friendship. "Well, how can I refuse if the elder brother has invited me?" Ye Xiwen smiled back. Anyway, he hadn't decided where he wanted to go. So, he could easily go with the flow for now. "Good, you're very frank and straightforward!" Yan Hong Yi admired Ye Xiwen when he saw that Ye Xiwen was neither timid nor fake. (To be continued)

It seemed as if it had met with a huge impact. "Villa Lord, it's not good. Several hundred star-beasts have appeared in front!" a man suddenly came tumbling out from the crowd. Everyone looked on, and found that several hundred star beasts had surrounded the ship. Moreover, each of them was as big as a hill. They looked like the magnified versions of fierce wolves. Their entire bodies were covered with silver fur. And, that silver fur was glowing in this dark Universe. There were innumerable. And, these hundreds of beasts had tightly contained them in the space. "Damn it! They've found us!" Yan Hong Yi's complexion turned unsightly as he said these words. A dreadful aura soared into the sky from the middle of these star beasts' group. Then, a fierce mountain-sized wolf slowly appeared in front of everyone. "Fierce Star-Wolf King!" Everyone's complexion turned deathly pale when they saw this monster. They even forgot about those other hill-sized fierce star wolves. There was usually a certain relation between height and strength. However, it didn't necessarily mean that one was going to be insanely powerful because one had a big stature. However, this fierce star-wolf king had truly frightened them. It had already surpassed the peak of the sage realm, and was currently at the sage small perfection realm. And, this had scared them out of their wits. Yan Hong Yi was the strongest among the people of the Poyuan Villa. He was at the sage small perfection realm. However, he would have to put everything at stake while fighting this wolf king. Obviously, it wouldn't be that easy since this wolf king's ominous energy had gone off the charts. The outcome of a fight between a fierce beast and human expert of the same realm would be difficult to predict. Some experts would win, while others would lose rather tragically. This varied from person to person. There were some geniuses who possessed the power to crush opponents belonging to the same realm. It wouldn't have been a very difficult thing to deal with this fierce star-wolf king for such a genius. After all, they possessed superb divine tools, outstanding cultivation, and an ancient heritage. So, their attacks were far more powerful than those of their peers. However, it wasn't that easy for ordinary people. They neither possessed powerful divine tools… nor did they have formidable martial arts roots. Moreover, they didn't even have a solid foundation. Consequently, even a group of three such individuals would be unable to defeat a fierce beast of the same realm. "Finally arrived?" Ye Xiwen muttered. He shot a glance towards that powerful-looking fierce star-wolf king. Then, he looked at Xiao Ya with a smile of reassurance. After all, she didn't need to worry as long as he was there with her. However, he didn't know that Xiao Ya wasn't worried. Her complexion had remained unchanged. She had faced all kinds of situations ever since she had tagged with Ye Xiwen. It seemed as if she felt that there was no need to worry as long as Ye Xiwen was by her side. "Brothers, we are in this predicament because of me. So, it is my duty to go, and engage that fierce star-wolf king. Meanwhile, you guys must look for an opportunity to escape!" Yan Hong Yi took out a spear, grinned, and said these words. The look in his eyes made it seem that he didn't find himself to be a match for these star-beasts. "Villa Lord!" "Villa lord, let's go together. We aren't afraid of death!" "These star beasts have surrounded us. How can we escape? So, let's go together. We mustn't let these lowly beasts ridicule us... even if we die!" These star beasts had long been wise and clever. This was because they possessed 'spiritual intelligence'. Their battle formation resembled that of a battalion of soldiers. They had already surrounded them from all directions. Moreover, their encirclement seemed to be impenetrable. "Come with me. I will go and engage that fierce star-wolf king. Come to give me backup if you guys manage to kill those other fierce wolves in time. We still have a chance of survival!" Yan Hong Yi didn't resist any further. After all, he knew that his previous plan was hopeless. Moreover, there was only a slim chance of survival, and that too only if they went all out to hold their own against these beasts. "Young Brother Ye, I'm sorry that I've dragged you into this. I shouldn't have done that. You must take off with little sister as soon as you get the opportunity!" Yan Hong Yi said. "Relax. I have a plan!" Ye Xiwen replied. However, he felt that many of the people of Poyuan Villa that surrounded him were looking at him with bad intentions. He deliberated a bit, and understood that these people were suspecting him of being a spy of the Li Clan… just as Hu Anguo had earlier suspected him. They felt that it couldn't be a coincidence that they had come across these many fierce beasts after a mysterious person had come aboard their ship. It was also probable that he was the one who had attracted these beasts. Ye Xiwen merely smiled. After all, everything would become clear from the outcome of his actions at this juncture. "Howl!" Everyone was still discussing here, but that fierce star-wolf king couldn't wait anymore. So, it howled loudly. And, its howl shook the entire world. The void collapsed. And, a huge black crack spread out wherever the sound waves from its howl went. Then, the huge crack spread out towards the ship. "Humph!" Yan Hong Yi coldly snorted. He advanced, and arrived at the front of the ship. He pointed his spear towards the vast emptiness. And, a boundless ripple proliferated and scattered in the vast space. Then, that ripple suddenly collided with that huge crack. "Bang!" A vast chunk of the void collapsed under the suppression force. The fight between two senior experts of the sage small perfection realm had barely begun. However, it had already shaken the entire world. Everyone's expressions had turned serious. The first clash was enough to determine that this star-wolf king was much more tyrannical than they had previously imagined. The star-wolf king's loud howl stirred up the flock of fierce wolves. And, their eyes turned red. Their claws dug into the space, and split open deep black cracks in the void. "Howl!" the fierce star-wolf king let out a loud howl like a sonic boom. Those fierce wolves also looked upward and howled one after another. They had launched a long-range raid towards the ship by doing so. The long-range raid of each of those small hill-sized beasts was overwhelming. The void shook as they approached with a scary momentum. It seemed as if violent waves were causing turbulence in an ocean. "Die!" The people of the Poyuan Villa also roared as they rushed out to face those fierce star- wolves. "Bang!" The seemingly endless horde of the fierce star-wolves suddenly collided with the matrix formation that was protecting the ship. One- third of the matrix formation was destroyed in a flash. This was inevitable since these fierce star-wolves were too many in number. Even the ship's protective layer couldn't endure such a massive impact. However, the semi- sage level fierce wolves were instantly turned into ashes by the barrier. Ye Xiwen's expression had also turned stern. The real fight was about to begin. The ominous aura of the enemy penetrated through the void, and blew against his face. This was a true battle. "Be a good girl, and stay on the ship until I return... Alright?!" Ye Xiwen looked at Xiao Ya and spoke after everyone had left the ship. Xiao Ya was only at the Xiantian Small Perfection Realm at present. Her cultivation speed was extremely quick. However, she couldn't travel in the space by herself. Moreover, she could die here because there was no air in this place. This was her vulnerability, and nothing could be done about it. Earlier, Ye Xiwen was there to protect her. However, he would have to engage in the battle now. He couldn't dare to say that he could protect her out there; at least not with confidence. Therefore, it was better to make her stay on the ship. "Ok!" Xiao Ya softly replied. She was a very clever kid. Yan Hong Yi had already started to clash with that fierce star-wolf king. His spear was waving like a dragon. It devoured a vast chunk of space as it rushed towards that fierce star-wolf king. Yan Hong Yi didn't hold back. His entire 'real elemental energy' suddenly burst out of his body with an incredible spear-beam. "Howl!" The fierce star-wolf king opened its large mouth… as if it were a sacrificial bowl. A dreadful 'spirit energy' fluctuated, and burst out of its mouth. The terrifying cannon-beam travelled through the void, and collided with Yan Hong Yi's spear-beam. "Bang!" Two great powerhouses had begun to clash, and this resulted in crackling sounds being produced. The scene looked exceptionally stunning. The clash of their dreadful powers resulted in energy waves from the point of the collision. Those energy waves then swept all across. And, they shattered the space wherever they went. The fierce star-wolf king issued an angry howl. And, its silver fur began to glow golden. Then, it dug its claws into the space, bolted forward explosively, and transformed into a golden streamer. It arrived in front of Yan Hong Yi in an instant. Yan Hong Yi hadn't thought that this fierce star-wolf king would have such incredible speed. He hadn't even gotten any time to react, but it had already arrived in front of him. However, he couldn't retreat. That's because his whole team would collapse if he were to fall back. He could only clench his teeth, and prepare for battle. He brandished his spear, and suddenly trampled the void under his feet. Then, he darted forward like a rolling mountain to crush that approaching golden light. "Boom!" The boundless collision issued dreadful energy waves. The void shook, and cracks that resembled a spider's web spread out. A tremendous energy wave swirled about violently. And, a figure was sent flying by that shock wave. It was Yan Hong Yi. Yan Hong Yi felt a strange taste in his mouth. He was about to spout a mouthful of blood. However, he knew that he couldn't spout blood at this. After all, his power would suffer a heavy loss if he did that… Therefore, he forcibly swallowed the blood essence. Consequently, his face turned an unusually dark shade of red. Moreover, he was forced to retreat over a dozen meters before he was able to break his momentum. These human experts were undoubtedly weaker when compared to these fierce beasts. Therefore, fighting with these fierce beasts was akin to courting death for a majority of these human experts. However, that wasn't true for a freak like Ye Xiwen. The fierce star-wolves weren't considered among the top-notch star beasts. Nonetheless, their ferocity and instincts far surpassed that of humans. However, the human experts had one advantage over these fierce beasts. They possessed 'intelligence'. They could use tools, divine tools, talismans, and whatnot. Only these things made the human experts eligible to contend against these fierce beasts. Yan Hong Yi was an old expert of the society. So, he obviously knew this fact very well. However, he didn't have any other method at this time. Moreover, he couldn't retreat. He could only drag time since he had to hold-up until the people of the Poyuan Villa had killed those other fierce beasts. They could then help him escape… or they could provide him with backup. He would obviously have more room to choose then… "Howl!" The eyes of the silver wolf-king had turned red. Moreover, there was an ominous glint in them. The wolf-king issued a thunderous howl once again. Its claws suddenly grabbed the void, and issued a metal clanging sound. It opened its mouth like a sacrificial bowl once again. Endless 'spirit energies' suddenly gathered. And, another sprit energy cannon-beam was ejected... but, not towards Yan Hong Yi. Instead, it was directed towards the ship! This silver wolf-king was sentient, and had already acquired 'spiritual intelligence'. So, it had obviously made out that these human experts wouldn't be able to escape without their ship. In fact, they would be sitting ducks! Ye Xiwen's exceptional flying magical power was extremely rare. The majority of human experts didn't have a divine tool they could use for flying away. Consequently, their flying speeds were no match for those of these demon beasts. "It's not good! Damn it!" Yan Hong Yi stopped minding the silver wolf-king for the time being. However, it was already too late for him to stop this attack that was going towards the ship. However, a frightening sword-rainbow dropped from above at this time. (To be continued)

25 comments, join in Chapter 527: Astonishes Everyone! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "Bang!" the sword energy fell down from above, and exploded with incredible energy fluctuations. The entire space disintegrated under the crushing suppression of the sword energy. Yan Hong Yi was left in a state of shock by this sudden assistance. However, he soon found out that this unexpected helper was none other than Ye Xiwen; it was that young man whom he had never taken seriously! "You must quickly run away. This is a demon- beast of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. You're no match for it!" Yan Hong Yi promptly shouted. Ye Xiwen merely grinned in reply. Yan Hong Yi was still asking him to run away… This was a rare occurrence. In fact, any other person would've sacrificed the helper's life to save their own. On the ship, Xiao Ya looked serene as she witnessed Ye Xiwen's aura. It had become even more tyrannical with the passage of time. An overbearing energy was raging inside Ye Xiwen's slim figure. Hu Anguo was staring blankly at Ye Xiwen. In fact, he looked embarrassed. After all, he hadn't expected Ye Xiwen to act like this. Therefore, he was very surprised that the person who had saved their ship had turned out to be Ye Xiwen… the same man whom he had doubted earlier. Consequently, he was forced to reconsider his opinion of Ye Xiwen. The expression in Ye Xiwen's eyes had condensed, and his pupils looked profound. It seemed as if the birth and destruction of the universe was taking place within his eyes. "Howl!" the fierce star-wolf king howled once again. An ominous and severe energy began to surge inside its body. Its eyes were red. It suddenly trod with its claws. And, it seemed as if the void beneath its claws had been ripped apart. Then, it quickly drilled through the void and pounced towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen shot his fist in retaliation. It transformed into a huge star, and swept down. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's fist suddenly pounded the body of the fierce star-wolf king. A terrifying explosion resounded as a result. In fact, it seemed as if this sound had originated from the collision between two planets. And, boundless energy waves swept across. "How is this possible? He blocked that fierce star-wolf king by using his fist?! How the hell is this possible?" "He is using his body to contend against this massive beast…? Am I dreaming or something?" Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene unfold before their eyes. After all, they believed that an average human expert couldn't contend against a demon beast. A human expert needed to have those divine tools, talismans, and whatnot if they wanted to contend against a demon beast. Moreover, it would be difficult to confront a demon-beast king even if one were to use divine tools. In fact, a human expert could contend against a demon-beast king of the same realm only if one were to be at the pinnacle among human experts of that realm. However, he was fighting that fierce star-wolf king bare-handed. And, it seemed as if he hadn't even gone all out yet. But, the thing that had surprised them the most was that Ye Xiwen wasn't the one who had been sent flying away because of that explosion. Instead, it had been that fierce star-wolf king! "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's fist transformed into a huge star, and pounded the tip of that fierce star-wolf king's nose. That fierce star-wolf-king went flying upside down, and its blood started to splash out. Everyone was left dumbstruck as they witnessed this scene. Ye Xiwen had struck the tip of that fierce star-wolf king's nose. It was the weakest part of a star beast's body. However, even the weakest part of star beast's body was as hard as iron. What kind of a monster was Ye Xiwen to be able to pull this off?! Everyone was staring blankly at Ye Xiwen. And, Yan Hong Yi was no exception. He had been greatly shocked by this scene, and remained speechless for a long time. Moreover, he had also become a bit depressed. After all, he had tried his best against this demon beast. But, he had failed to fend it off even then. However, Ye Xiwen had done that easily… and that too whilst being unarmed! "Villa Lord Yan, thanks for letting us get aboard your ship. I have nothing to repay you with. So, I will deal with this beast for you as a means to show my gratitude!" Ye Xiwen looked at Yan Hong Yi, and spoke-up. Perhaps, it wasn't a big deal for Yan Hong Yi to take Ye Xiwen along with him. However, it was a very big deal for Ye Xiwen. He was confident that he wouldn't have stayed trapped in this place forever. However, he might have had to waste a year's time… or even more in order to escape this place if he hadn't met Yan Hong Yi and his crew. And, he obviously didn't wish to waste so much time. Similarly, it was no big deal for Ye Xiwen to deal with this monster. However, it was a life- saving grace for Yan Hong Yi. Ye Xiwen didn't pay heed to Yan Hong Yi after he had finished speaking. Instead, he shifted his attention towards that fierce star- wolf king. It had become even more violent after sustaining injuries at the hands of Ye Xiwen. The hair on its body had stood up, and transformed into spikes. In fact, it looked like a hedgehog when inverted. However, nobody dared to underestimate it. After all, its hair could inflict a fatal wound. "Arrogant brat!" the fierce star-wolf king roared. It couldn't conceal the violent look in its eyes as it suddenly rushed out. Its massive body rushed over with the crushing power and pressure of a giant mountain that was rolling over. "Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm!" Ye Xiwen shouted. His vision was locked on that fierce star-wolf king. A big hand stretched out, and a thousand palm-shadows suddenly appeared in the sky. They then transformed into thousand meteors in the Universe, and rushed towards the fierce star-wolf king. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Those meteors fell from above in quick succession, and pounded the body of that fierce star-wolf king. A loud metal clanging sound echoed in the vicinity as a result. The skin of this fierce star-wolf king was supposed to be invulnerable. Even a divine tool couldn't injure it. Even Yan Hong Yi hadn't been able to contend against it with a sage tool in his hand. However, Ye Xiwen was different. His 'tyrant body' had reached the seventh layer. Its might had reached a dreadful height. Every palm attack and every fist attack of his' was like a giant mountain that could cut off a thousand-miles-long river. It was incomparably dreadful. The meteors in this 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm' were the embodiments of his heavy fist blows! Therefore, every meteor had gorged out a huge chunk of flesh from the body of that fierce star-wolf king. The body of that fierce star wolf was supposed to be incredibly powerful, but it had soon turned into a complete mess. It had gotten badly mutilated, and had been drenched in blood. The fierce star-wolf king couldn't advance because of the continuous bombardment of Ye Xiwen's 'Thousand Stars Tyrant Palm'. Therefore, it couldn't come close to Ye Xiwen. In fact, it had been forced to retreat because of the barrage of attacks on the contrary. The protective layer of 'Demon Elemental Energy' couldn't protect it anymore. In fact, the protective layer was receding unceasingly. The fierce star-wolf king had been forced into a difficult situation by Ye Xiwen's attacks. However, it wasn't scared. On the contrary, it became even fiercer. And, its ominous power swept in all directions. It suddenly broke the space, and appeared in front of Ye Xiwen. Its tail swept out towards him. Its tail was the hardest part of its body. An ordinary expert would be cut into two halves if its tail struck them. Ye Xiwen stretched out his hands, and grabbed that tail. 'Bang!' his arms trembled. The fierce star-wolf king had used its entire strength. An average person's entire arm would've torn off if they were in Ye Xiwen's place. However, even the web between Ye Xiven's fingers hadn't been ruptured. His arms had merely trembled a bit at first. However, he managed to grab that tail properly after that. Then, he suddenly threw the beast away. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen threw away the fierce star- wolf king. It went out flying, and crashed into a meteor. The meteor shattered, and gave rise to a small mushroom-cloud of dust. "He's fighting with that star beast king with his bare hands!" Everyone was left thunderstruck as they witnessed this scene. They had thought that Ye Xiwen was overestimating himself. After all, he had dared to put his body at risk by fighting with that star-beast. Wasn't that akin to courting death? However, they weren't thinking so anymore. Moreover, they had realized that Ye Xiwen was a monster in comparison to that fierce star-wolf king. In fact, they had never seen someone fighting bare-handed against a star beast. Stunningly, Ye Xiven had dominated that star beast since the beginning of the fight. In fact, it seemed as if he was toying with it. They had even forgotten that they too had a 'star beast' opponent to fight. However, even those other star beasts were dumbfounded at this time. After all, their leader was like a god to them. But, their leader had unexpectedly been forced into a disadvantageous position by a human in a clash of physical strength. This thing was simply beyond their wildest imaginations. The fierce star-wolves didn't have the strongest body among the star-beasts. However, their not-so-powerful physical constitution was still very powerful when compared to that of human experts. It was their key strength. However, even this key strength had failed to manifest itself in front of Ye Xiwen. Both sides reacted quickly, and engaged in the deadly battle once again. The body of the fierce star-wolf king had been badly mutilated by Ye Xiwen's attacks this time. The star-wolf king even felt a little dizzy. Moreover, its fierce eyes were no longer blood-red. They had instead regained their normal shade. It was initially going berserk due to being by pushed by some secret method. However, it had been bombarded several times… and, had been sent flying here and there. So, the effects of that secret method had finally worn off. And, it had come back to its senses as a result. Moreover, it had finally realized that this slim man before its eyes was way too ferocious. And, it didn't have the power to defeat this man. "It's over!" Ye Xiwen softly exclaimed. He took the initiative to attack this time, and he suddenly trod on the golden waves. His figure swept forward in a flash. Nobody could see him since their eyes couldn't keep up with his speed. This felt like the legendary magical power as mentioned in the fables. It was said that one could compress the Earth with a thumb with the help of this power. Ye Xiwen arrived in front of that fierce star- wolf king in the blink of an eye amidst the flashes of golden light. The 'Inverting Ocean Seal' condensed instantaneously. It gathered endless 'spirit energies' from all around, and then condensed above Ye Xiwen's head. He raised his hands. And, it seemed as if he had lifted a boundless ocean. He looked like that legendary figure mentioned in the fables that had lifted the heavens for countless years. "Haa!" Ye Xiwen shouted loudly. And, the boundless ocean poured down at once. Its dreadful weight suppressed, and broke down the void. It transformed into a huge seal midway, and swept down with a crushing force. It might've taken a lot of time to describe what was happening. However, everything had happened in a split second. The speed of Ye Xiwen's seal attack was incredibly quick. He had manifested and unleashed the 'Inverting Ocean Seal' in an instant. And, it had pounded that fierce star-wolf king immediately-after. Moreover, the fierce star-wolf king was still feeling confused and disoriented when the 'Inverting Ocean Seal' came down upon him. "Bang!" a loud explosion sounded. The fierce star-wolf king was minced by the 'Inverting Ocean Seal'. The 'Heavenly Source Mirror' slowly emitted scarlet light within Ye Xiwen's body. And, the body and essence of the fierce star-wolf king was absorbed by the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' along with its most important part — the demon core. The 'Heavenly Source Mirror' had become much more powerful than it was three years ago. After all, it had recovered a lot during Ye Xiwen's three years of expeditions. "It won't be too long before the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' recovers!" Ye Xiwen said in his heart. "We've luckily survived this time, thanks to Young Brother Ye. It's a huge favour. I don't have words to thank you. Ke ke..." Yan Hong Yi coughed as he arrived beside Ye Xiwen. He then patted his shoulder, and said. (To be continued)

It truly wasn't a big thing for him. Fighting demon beasts was much simpler than fighting complex and cunning humans. One merely needed strength to crush the beasts. In fact, one would have the power to crush these beasts if one had great strength, 'Real Elemental Energy', and other such things. And, Ye Xiwen had gained an upper hand in all these aspects. The legends stated that the main objective of his 'tyrant body secret' was to go on expeditions against devils and gods. Therefore, dealing with these demon beasts must be very easy for him. It wasn't difficult to deal with demon beasts after having an upper hand in all these aspects. In fact, dealing with human experts was much more difficult than dealing with these beasts. After all, the human experts had much more than formidable strength alone. They also had all kinds of divine tools, talismans, and whatnot in abundance. Therefore, Ye Xiwen felt that it was much more difficult to deal with human experts. "Ke ke!" Yan Hong Yi suddenly coughed once again. Blood also came out from his mouth along with the coughing. His complexion had turned pale. "Are you all right?" Ye Xiwen promptly asked. "I'm fine. It's nothing. It's just old injuries. They've resurfaced due to my fight with that beast. Plus, I've also sustained some new injuries in that fight. I'm all right. Hey, I'm getting old. These injuries wouldn't have had any effect on me if I had been young!" Yan Hong Yi waved his hand. He smiled reluctantly, and used his martial power to suppress the injuries. Ye Xiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Getting old? What kind of a joke was it? An expert would become more and more powerful as their cultivation deepened with age. Consequently, an older expert would possess more powerful vitality and vigour than the younger ones... unless they were on the verge of death. Those remaining star beasts couldn't escape, and were killed very quickly with Ye Xiwen's assistance. Moreover, the team hadn't suffered huge losses since Ye Xiwen had killed that fierce star-wolf king in time. Everyone's opinion of Ye Xiwen had also changed. They hadn't liked him initially. They had arrived here in the 'Hallucinatory Star Field' with the determination to lay down their lives. These chosen people of the villa were second to none. After all, the villa had so many experts. And, Ye Xiwen was merely at the intermediate stage of the sage realm. So, what could he have possibly achieved? However, they were amazed after they witnessed Ye Xiwen's strength. They were trying to avoid making eye contact with Ye Xiwen at the moment. After all, they had said that he might be a spy of the Li Clan. So, they couldn't say anything to redeem themselves at this time. After all, they could only say that they had been rather unfair towards him so far. However, they were also feeling a bit relieved. They would be at ease even if the Li Clan played some trick now. After all, they had a formidable expert like Ye Xiwen to keep watch. Their safety factor had enormously increased since they had two Sage Small Perfection level experts to keep watch now. Everyone's behaviour towards Ye Xiwen had changed enormously after this matter. Fortunately, they didn't come across any other mishap until they came out of the 'Hallucinatory Star Field'. They then arrived at another star region that was adjacent to the 'Hallucinatory Star Field' – River Shore Star Field. The Poyuan Villa was situated in the Shang Yang City. It was less than ten-thousand miles away from the borderline of the 'Hallucinatory Star Field'. Perhaps, an ordinary person wouldn't be able cover this distance in their entire lifetime. However, it wasn't very far for these experts. Ye Xiwen felt that the distorted appearance of the void had switched back to normal once they had come out of the 'Hallucinatory Star Field'. "Finally, we've come out of that damned Hallucinatory Star Field!" Ye Xiwen let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Ya was standing beside him. He touched her small head. However, she only quietly looked at him, and didn't say anything in response. A huge city was floating in the space at a distance. It was emitting colourful rays of light that had illuminated this section of the Universe. Yan Hong Yi told Ye Xiwen that this was the Shang Yang City. The Shang Yang City was undoubtedly much bigger than the Wind Dragon City. In fact, it was at least ten times bigger than the Wind Dragon City. This city that was floating in space was established after many experts from various planets had ventured into this section of the universe. They had only established this city for their temporary stay. However, it had gradually developed into an enormous city. In fact, there weren't many cities in the True Martial World that could be compared with such a big city. This endlessly spanning city looked pleasing to the eyes. One couldn't see its edge. The rays of light emanating from the barrier formations on the city's walls would flicker from time to time. Every section of the city's wall was covered with layers of matrix formation. This had been done in order to protect the city from the attacks of the star beasts. The faces of the Poyuan Villa's people had a look of exhaustion when they saw that their home wasn't very far now. After all, they had been on the expedition in the Hallucinatory Star Field for a very long time. Even the sage experts would get worn out in that strange starry region. So, nobody had dared to relax even a bit at that place. However, they now got some sense of relaxation when they saw that their home was right in front of them. Many experts were going through the required procedure for entering the city at the gates. The majority of them were legendary experts. The truth experts were very rare. However, the ratio of truth experts varied from world to world. This place was unlike various other worlds. So, it was difficult for the truth experts to survive in a starry region. In fact, it was even more difficult for them to survive in this starry region since it was very far from other inhabited worlds. Even the legendary experts could barely protect themselves here. The ship entered the Shang Yang City. The experts stepped aside from the way. The soldiers above the city's walls didn't dare to stop the ship either. It was evident that the Poyuan Villa didn't have a low status in the Shang Yang City. "Villa Lord Yan, it seems that your villa has a huge influence in the Shang Yang City…" Ye Xiwen let out a smile from the corner of his mouth as he looked at Yan Hong Yi. "Don't make fun of me, Young Brother Ye. I am only slightly famous in this city!" Yan Hong Yi replied. The ship arrived at an extremely big villa that was situated on the northern side of the city. Each house in the city was built like a huge building complex. The houses were spanning across the city. It was a magnificent sight. "Villa Lord is back!" The guards left to inform the people of the villa as soon as the ship arrived at the gate. Many old and young people gathered at the villa gate as a result. These people were the relatives of the experts that had gone out on the expedition. Yan Hong Yi and the other experts stepped down from the ship. Then, a beautiful girl hugged Yan Hong Yi and shouted, "Daddy, you're back!" She appeared to be 17 or 18 years old. She had a small and beautiful face. Her skin was as fair as snow. Her big and round eyes were nimble, and looked incomparably pretty. She was an extremely beautiful young girl. She was dressed up in fiery red dress which reflected her curvy figure. She also had a kind of indescribable agility in her. Yan Hong Yi's face exposed a rare affectionate expression. He opened his mouth and said, "Of course, I am back! Where is your mother?" "Mother fell asleep!" the young girl replied. Her wonderful eyes then turned towards Ye Xiwen. "You're Ye Xiwen, right? You're the one who helped my father in killing that fierce star-wolf king, aren't you?" These experts had already sent a message, and had informed everyone about their safety. Therefore, it wasn't a surprise that she knew about Ye Xiwen as well. "Yun Ting, don't be impolite!" Yan Hong Yi said with a strict face. "Young Brother Ye, I'm sorry. This is my daughter Yan Yun Ting. She has been pampered since childhood. So, she is a bit impolite!" "Why? I don't think he's that much older than me!" Yan Yun Ting bit her lips and muttered resentfully, "Wow, this little sister is so pretty!" Yan Yun Ting became surprised when she looked at Xiao Ya, and her eyes started to shine. Ye Xiwen found her expression to be similar to that of those young girls he had seen in his previous life. They would have a similar reaction whenever they'd see a Barbie doll. Xiao Ya's small and delicate face still carried a timid expression. It was also an expression of annoyance, but it looked cute nonetheless. Xiao Ya didn't hide her face behind Ye Xiwen when Yan Yun Ting extended her palm towards her. She only grabbed his clothes. However, she seemed to be puzzled as she looked at Yan Yun Ting. Why does this elder sister look so surprised? Yan Yun Ting didn't feel embarrassed on seeing that Xiao Ya wasn't showing respect to her. "Yun Ting, don't cause trouble!" A serious look appeared on Yan Hong Yi's face. He was afraid that his immature daughter might offend Ye Xiwen. After all, he and Ye Xiwen had gotten close on their way back. He had also found that Ye Xiwen didn't care much about ordinary matters. However, he cared a lot about that little girl who accompanied him. "Gee, I was wondering why there's so much noise. I see… so the Villa Lord Yan has returned!" suddenly, a strange laughter sounded. Then, a group of men arrived walking through the street. They were headed by a young man who looked approximately 25 or 26 years old. He had pretty facial features. However, he had a gentle and reserved air about him. He was clad in a magnificent robe, and looked like a playboy from his appearance. He was carrying a smile of mockery at the corner of his mouth. A group of experts followed him. And, all of them were powerful sage experts who possessed a reserved aura. "It's you, Li Chen Tian!" An expression of disgust appeared on Yan Yun Ting's face when she saw this man arriving. [Li Cheng Tian? Li Clan's people?] This name immediately appeared in Ye Xiwen's mind. He had heard this name many times from the mouths of the people of the Poyuan Villa while they were in the Hallucinatory Star Field. Apparently, both these clans had been enemies since many generations. The complexions of the Poyuan Villa's people would always turn ugly whenever they'd mention anything about the Li Clan's people. And, Yan Yun Ting's behaviour had indirectly confirmed Ye Xiwen's speculation. "Why have you come here?" Yan Hong Yi's complexion also turned ugly as he asked with a serious countenance. "How could this little nephew not have come after he heard that Villa Lord Yan had returned?" Li Cheng Tian cupped his hands in obeisance and replied. However, there wasn't a trace of respect on his face, "I heard that Villa Lord Yan had been roaming in 'Hallucinatory Star Field' during those days. I wonder how well this trip of yours has turned out to be." "How dare you say that? You're a mean scum! We wouldn't have lost so many brothers if it wasn't for you!" Yan Hong Yi's complexion had turned very ugly. However, it was Hu Anguo who had retaliated this time. "Oh, oh yeah, you see sometimes food can be eaten without hunger. But, you must never talk nonsense. You-yourself went to the 'Hallucinatory Star Field'. What does our Li Clan have to do with that? Talking nonsense can get a person killed, you know?!" Li Cheng calculated secretly and said. "Honestly, this young nephew is very surprised. I hadn't expected that Villa Lord Yan would return safely!" An expression of hate appeared on the faces of the Poyuan Villa's people. After all, they knew that the Li Clan's people had caused those troubles for them. However, they couldn't do anything. "Villa Lord Yan! This young nephew has arrived here, and he wants to ask you something. What have you decided regarding the matter of marriage that I had mentioned last time?" Li Cheng Tian's intense gaze fell on Yan Yun Ting's curvy figure, and a sinister expression flickered in his eyes. "Get lost! I won't marry a person like you!" Yan Yun Ting's small face turned a deep shade of red as she angrily replied. (To be continued)

Yan Yun Ting's face became flushed. She was gasping heavily in anger, and her bountiful chest was heaving. Her delicate face didn't have any deterrence force, but it still looked very charming. "Yan Yun Ting, I'm talking to you nicely. Why must you always behave like this? I intend no harm to you!" Li Cheng Tian shot a glance at Yan Yun Ting and said. "You should leave. My daughter will never marry a person like you!" Yan Hong Yi stepped forward and coldly stated. "Villa Lord Yan, you might want to give it a proper thought!" Li Cheng Tian's complexion had turned cold, "You won't want to put your Poyuan Villa in harm's way because of your momentary anger, would you?" Li Cheng Tian narrowed his eyes as he said. Then, a trace of madness flickered in his eyes, "Villa Lord Yan hasn't healed yet as far as I know. So, it would be better if you don't get too impulsive!" "Wasn't it your Li Clan that used underhanded tricks to injure our Villa Lord? You get the hell out of here. Our young sister will never marry a scum like you even if all of us have to die to protect her!" Hu Anguo coldly replied. "Do you have a death wish?" Li Cheng Tian's gaze turned gloomy and cold as he threatened. He then flew out, arrived in front of Hu Anguo, and shot his palm. "Bang!" Li Cheng Tian's palm struck Hu Anguo's chest. A tremendous force exploded, and sent Hu Anguo flying away. He collided with several people before his backwards momentum finally came to a halt. Li Cheng Tian was a shameless scoundrel. However, he was incredibly strong as well. In fact, his strength had reached the late stage of the sage realm. Moreover, he had only been cultivating for several hundred years. So, he could be called a top-notch expert among the younger elites. However, Hu Anguo had entered the sage realm recently. So, how could he be his match? "Stop!" Yan Hong Yi moved into action. His big hand rose up, and swept towards Li Cheng Tian to grab him. The space trembled and got distorted under the pressure of his big hand. One could well-imagine the tremendous might carried by the attack of an angry expert of Sage Small Perfection Realm. At this time, the five experts standing in the front row behind Li Cheng Tian attacked at once. Layer upon layer of divine beams fell from above, and formed a big barrier of five elements — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth — in order to protect Li Cheng Tian. "Bang!" Yan Hong Yi's big hand grabbed this big barrier instead. And, a dreadful rumbling sound swept out. Then, a terrifying aura proliferated in the surroundings. Li Cheng Tian merely laughed as the dust settled. He looked towards Hu Anguo; the man had already lost his consciousness. In fact, it wasn't clear whether Hu Anguo was dead or alive, "Didn't I tell you? Talking nonsense can get a person killed!" Li Cheng Tian said. Then, he turned towards Yan Hong Yi and said, "Villa Lord Yan, you're very impulsive!" Li Cheng Tian's current ruthless appearance didn't divulge that he was the same person who had looked like an elegant young master a while ago. Yan Hong Yi glared at him. However, he didn't rush towards him. Rather, he rushed towards those five individuals who stood behind him. However, he was surprised to see that each of these five individuals looked a bit similar to each other. All of them had a long and round waist, and a burly figure. "You're the five brothers of the Huang Clan?" Yan Hong Yi looked at these five men with his ice-cold eyes. "I've heard that each of you is at the Sage Peak Realm. You've practiced the power technique of the five elements. So, you can lay down Five Elements Great Barrier to contend against the experts of the Sage Small Perfection Level!" Ye Xiwen had never heard about them. Therefore, he didn't give much importance to them. However, the countenances of the people of the Poyuan Villa had changed. After all, these five individuals were extremely famous in the Shang Yang City. They had been famous for over a hundred years because they could lay out the Five Elements Great Barrier. And, they could even use it to contend against the experts of the Sage Small Perfection Level! Sage Small Perfection Realm and Sage Peak Realm differed by far. There were many experts of Sage Peak Realm in the Shang Yang City. However, there were only a few experts of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. After all, every Sage Small Perfection level expert needed to create a solid and deep foundation. And, this was the disparity between the two realms. These five brothers were only at the Sage Peak realm, but they could still contend against the experts of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. Therefore, their names had become widely famous in the region. These five brothers had always been independent. They didn't belong to any force of the city. However, nobody dared to provoke them even then. However, they had apparently joined the Li Clan. This was something that no one could've predicted. "I didn't expect that the five Huang brothers would join the Li Clan. They have become the hired thugs of the Li Clan!" "It's no wonder that Li Cheng Tian has dared to come here so arrogantly to provoke us. The backing of these brothers has given him so much confidence!" Everyone was angrily looking at the five Huang Brothers. It wasn't surprising that Li Cheng Tian had such a carefree expression on his face. The five brothers of the Huang clan had collectively laid out the Five Elements Great Barrier. They surely couldn't defeat a Sage Small Perfection level expert. However, it was also very difficult for a Sage Small Perfection level expert to defeat them. Yan Hong Yi had sustained new injuries of late. Plus, his old injuries hadn't healed either. So, his strength had decreased considerably… "Villa Lord Yan, you should think about it carefully. After all, it will be advantageous for both our clans if Yun Ting marries me. After all, the bond between our clans will strengthen because of our marriage alliance. And, we won't have to be afraid of anyone in this Shang Yang City after that. What do you say?" Li Cheng Tian recklessly proposed. He was confident that Yan Hong Yi couldn't do anything to him as long as he had these five brothers to back him up. This was why he had hastily arrived here right after Yan Hong Yi's return. "I'm giving you three days to reconsider. I will return after three days. And, I will either marry her… or give you a declaration of war. I might as well inform Villa Lord Yan that my father has already reached the pinnacle of Sage Small Perfection Realm. Moreover, he is planning to undergo 'closed-door training' after my wedding. And, he will reach the Sage Great Perfection Realm in about three to five years. So, he will be able to dominate the entire Shang Yang City at that time. Even the City Lord won't be able to do anything to our clan. And, your Poyuan Villa will be destroyed if you reject my proposal. So, you must take the right decision since I genuinely don't wish to take that step!" Li Cheng Tian threatened. However, nobody in the Poyuan Villa cursed Li Cheng Tian for his arrogant and despotic behaviour at this time. That's because they were still in a state of shock upon hearing that his father would soon make the breakthrough into Sage Great Perfection Realm. There was a big disparity between Sage Peak Realm and Sage Small Perfection Realm. However, there was an even bigger disparity between Sage Small Perfection Realm and Sage Great Perfection Realm. A senior expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm could lay a strong foundation in the Shang Yang City. However, a senior expert of the Sage Great Perfection Realm could dominate the entire Shang Yang City. The current City Lord of the Shang Yang City was the only Sage Great Perfection Realm expert in this city. A proud expression appeared on Li Cheng Tian's face when he saw that everyone was in shock. [This is the time to change the rule in Shang Yang City. This is my Li Clan's time to rule!] However, his gaze suddenly fell onto Xiao Ya's body. And, a fervently perverted look flickered in his eyes. "This little girl is pretty good. How did I miss such a nice little thing earlier? I would've taken her home with me by now. Ha Ha Ha. Anyway all these girls will be mine sooner or later!" Li Cheng Tian's perversion became even worse. He licked his lips and said. "Dream on!" Yan Yun Ting's beautiful eyes coldly glared at Li Cheng Tian. Suddenly, the rumour about Li Cheng Tian's interest in young girls echoed in her mind. There was no reason why she wouldn't feel disgusted by him... "This is beyond your control. There is nothing that I can't obtain if I want to!" Li Cheng Tian coldly snorted. He stretched his hand towards Xiao Ya in order to grab her. The five brothers of Huang Clan were standing behind him, and they were watching Yan Hong Yi very nervously. They had gotten the information that Yan Hong Yi had sustained serious injuries. And, they knew that this had decreased his strength very considerably. However, he was still an expert of sage small perfection realm. And, they could contend against him only because of their powerful barrier technique. In other words, they didn't dare to underestimate a senior expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. However, they soon realized that Yan Hong Yi wasn't even thinking about attacking. Instead, a disdainful and gloated expression flashed in his eyes as he grinned. However, they couldn't understand why such an expression had appeared on his face… [Idiot!] Yan Hong Yi secretly sneered in his heart. [This Li Cheng Tian is courting death!] However, Yan Yun Ting wasn't as confident as Yan Hong Yi. Suddenly, a burst of energy emerged out of her body, and soared upward. It was about to attack Li Cheng Tian… However, she then heard a "bang" sound. A big hand that was made up of energy stretched out from nowhere. It then pinched and crushed Li Cheng Tian's hand. Then, the energy-hand transformed into a group of 'spirit energies' and dispersed. "Who are you?" Li Cheng Tian's complexion changed as his sinister gaze fell upon Ye Xiwen. After all, he hadn't expected that this ordinary looking young man would've effortlessly crushed and dispersed his attack. Ye Xiwen ignored Li Cheng Tian. He merely touched Xiao Ya's small head instead. He had seen that she had been scared by this incident, and her small face had turned deathly pale. So, he softly said, "Don't worry, I'm here!" "Yes!" Xiao Ya nodded. She didn't say anything else out of sensibility. Li Cheng Tian's complexion turned fierce after he saw that these two individuals had ignored him. He felt embarrassed as he furiously laughed, "Ha ha ha ha... Interesting... Very interesting! Nobody has dared to interfere in my business for so long. So, you're obviously an outsider. I had cut off the hands of the last idiot who had dared to interfere in my business. I don't want much for you. I will only cut your limbs, and hang them on the city wall for everyone to see. And then, I will see who else dares to interfere in my business!" The ten experts who were standing behind Li Cheng Tian also laughed nastily. They ran towards Ye Xiwen, and surrounded him. All of them were sage experts. After all, Ye Xiwen was merely an expert of the intermediate stage of sage realm in their estimation. How could he face such an elite team? He would surely get crushed if he tried to face them! Li Cheng Tian took a glimpse at the expressions of those Poyuan Villa experts who had returned with Yan Hong Yi. However, he found their expressions a bit strange. Also, why had Yan Hong Yi not attacked yet? And, why was it that he had an optimistic expression on his face? In fact, it seemed as if these people were looking forward to a good show! However, these thoughts disappeared from his mind as he ogled at Xiao Ya with a lustful expression in his eyes. Anyway, Ye Xiwen was already a dead person in his opinion! "Attack!" it wasn't clear who had shouted among those experts. However, they rushed towards Ye Xiwen, and issued their strongest attacks without any hesitation. They didn't seem to care that they might destroy this place. After all, it was Poyuan Villa's territory. "You're an audacious bunch!" Ye Xiwen coldly snorted. His big hand stretched out. And, that seemingly overwhelming barrage of attacks was instantly grabbed and extinguished by his big hand. These attacks didn't even get a chance to land! The complexions of those experts turned dull. After all, they hadn't thought that this would happen. However, they didn't get time to think much since Ye Xiwen had already made his move. He trod forward, transformed into a streamer, and arrived in front of one of the experts. Then, his big hand suddenly swept out. That expert couldn't avoid that hand. He could only watch it coming closer and closer. He could only stare blankly as that big hand slapped him on his face. "Bang!" That expert went out flying because of the tremendous impact. His teeth got smashed, his body rotated like a spinning top, and he went flying. Then, he heavily slammed on the ground, and a huge crater opened therein. "You were right about what you said — talking nonsense can really get a person killed!" Ye Xiwen's eyes turned extremely cold. (To be continued)

39 comments, join in Chapter 530: Sends Everyone Flying! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "You were right. Sometimes, talking nonsense can really get a person killed!" Ye Xiwen's words seemed ruthless... as if they had come straight from hell. Xiao Ya had been with him for less than a year. However, this quiet and well-behaved young girl's cuteness had won him over. So, how could he tolerate the fact that someone had harboured ill-thoughts about her? Li Cheng Tian's sinister expression had frozen. Ye Xiwen's movement was extremely quick as he appeared in front of another sage expert like a golden flash of light. Then, he lifted his foot, and kicked that expert. The speed of his foot appeared to be slow. However, it was incomparably fast in reality. Therefore, that expert could only look helplessly as Ye Xiwen's foot hit his chest. "Bang!" "Crack, Crack!" The sound of breaking of bones was heard along with a muffled scream. That expert was sent flying upside down. He crashed into the ground, and opened a huge crater before finally coming to a halt. His chest and sternum got crushed by Ye Xiwen's kick. Moreover, he couldn't breathe either. So, it was hard to say whether he would live or die. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's golden figure flashed in front of those experts one by one. They also didn't get any time to react, and went out flying by his bombardments. They had been rendered breathless by the attacks. These people were basically the lackeys of Li Cheng Tian. So, Ye Xiwen felt that it wouldn't be a problem even if they died. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen arrived in front of the last expert, and sent him flying too. Everyone was in a state of disbelief… except those people of the Poyuan Villa who had returned with Ye Xiwen. Those people had no strength to fight back in front of Ye Xiwen's attacks. However, they were sage experts in their own rights. Li Cheng Tian's subordinates could only be considered as hired thugs. However, they were considered to be on the superior side in the Shang Yang City. Li Cheng Tian finally understood the reason behind the gloating expressions on the faces of those people of the Poyuan Villa. [They were laughing at my overconfidence.] [This young man possesses incredible strength!] Li Cheng Tian's countenance turned even more distorted since he felt that everyone present there was ridiculing him. And, all these things had happened because of the young man who was present before his eyes. "Kill him for me!" he ordered the Five Huang Brothers who were present by his side. He didn't wish to believe that this young man couldn't be killed even after using the combined strength of the Five Huang Brothers. The Five Huang Brothers moved into action without any hesitation after they had heard Li Cheng Tian's command. Each of their bodies separately radiated the light of five elements —metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They unleashed terrifying auras as the Five Elements Great Barrier swept towards Ye Xiwen to crush him. The Five Huang Brothers were experts of the Sage Peak Realm. Even one of them was enough to wreak havoc. And, they could even contend against an expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm when together. This attack was different from the one they had used to stop Yan Hong Yi a while ago. After all, they had attacked with their entire strength this time. The 'spirit energies' of the entire Shang Yang City had condensed at this place at a very high speed. Many experts of Shang Yang City had also flown over to this place. However, they were witnessing this fight from afar because they couldn't dare to come near. After all, the Poyuan Villa was a big force in Shang Yang City since it was home to many experts. "Aren't they the Five Huang Brothers? I've heard that they've joined the Li Clan. But, why are they fighting here at Poyuan Villa?" "Li Clan has gone off the leash. Li Clan's Clan Lord is about to make the breakthrough into the Sage Great Perfection Realm. He will dominate the entire Shang Yang City after that!" "Poyuan Villa's Yan Hong Yi has a very old enmity with Li Clan. It is said that the wife of the Villa Lord Yan Hong Yi had been courted by Li Clan's Clan Lord as well. However, Villa Lord Yan married her in the end. In fact, this bitter enmity between these clans is more than hundred years old!" The Five Elements Great Barrier shook the void as it arrived in an overwhelming manner. It surged forward, and issued vibrations all over. The Five Huang Brothers had attacked with their entire strength, and had unleashed their endless might in sync. Ye Xiwen's complexion had also turned a bit solemn. After all, he wasn't dealing with ordinary sage experts this time. Faint golden rays of light had begun to flicker on his body; the divinities were looming. Suddenly, a dreadful murderous aura swept out from his body, and soared up. Consequently, cracks appeared in the void. Ye Xiwen didn't speak anything while facing the Five Elements Great Barrier. He merely stretched out his big hand. It transformed into a star, and swept out. "Bang!" the star ferociously collided with the matrix formation of the five elements. The clash issued incomparably ferocious shock waves, and they instantly ripped apart the void. Even the fortified space of the city couldn't resist the impact that was produced by this collision. Everyone's complexion had turned pale in amazement. The Five Huang Brothers were legendary. But, who was this young man? No one could believe their eyes when they saw that he hadn't fallen into a disadvantageous position while fighting the five brothers. The five brothers were also somewhat stunned. They had secretly locked most of their energy on Yan Hong Yi's body. After all, they were afraid that Yan Hong Yi might launch a sudden attack. They could indeed contend against an expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. However, that was only possible when all five brothers fought together. Also, they could only contend against an expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. But, they couldn't defeat him. Therefore, they had to be careful at all times. However, they hadn't expected that Yan Hong Yi would never attack. And, that this young man who they didn't care about would be able to stop their attack single-handedly. They certainly hadn't used their full strength yet. Still, an ordinary person couldn't stop the Five Elements Great Barrier. After all, it had the power to blast away an average expert of the Sage Peak Realm. Ye Xiwen landed on the ground. His black hair was fluttering in the wind. His eyes looked profound, and it seemed as if a universe had taken birth inside them. His fighting intention soared, and it seemed that he possessed a monstrous aura. Everyone had thought that he wouldn't be able to stop the attack of the Five Huang Brothers. However, everyone had been proven wrong. "Young man, you're pretty good. But, this is it for you!" the eldest among those five brothers shouted. Simultaneously, his imposing aura surged sharply. It had become even more dreadful than before. The minds of these five brothers were interlinked. Therefore, they thought of the same thing. They knew that they had to attack this man with all of their strength this time around. In fact, they had stopped thinking about Yan Hong Yi for the time being. "Die!" Ye Xiwen bellowed. He trod forward at an abnormally quick pace. Simultaneously, the golden rays of light emanating from his body became even more intense. He looked like a Golden God as he rushed forward to face his enemy's attack. Ye Xiwen didn't use any special move; only his fist swept out. Yet, it carried tremendous power. He forged ahead relying only on the toughness of his body, and took on the Five Huang Brothers. His monstrous aura could've scared a person to death. The aura spread out in all directions. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Ye Xiwen hadn't used any fancy moves. He had only shot his fists. The Five Huang Brothers had thought that Ye Xiwen either had a death wish… or he had gone crazy. After all, that was the only possible explanation for fighting them unarmed. However, they soon realized how mistaken they were… There was nothing stylish about Ye Xiwen's fist attacks. However, every fist had shaken their Five Elements Great Barrier. Li Cheng Tian's countenance had also turned exceptionally stiff on the other side. After all, he hadn't anticipated that Ye Xiwen would be so insanely powerful. In fact, he had initially thought that the Five Huang Brothers would take care of him with ease. However, Ye Xiwen had left them to tremble. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's fist pounded on the Five Elements Great Barrier once again. "Bang!" The barrier shattered into pieces. "Poof!" "Poof!" "Poof!" It seemed as if the five brothers had been accidently struck by lightning. They spouted blood from their mouths as their bodies were sent out flying. "Bang!" They crashed into the ground, and a huge crater was formed. Li Cheng Tian became scared when he saw that Ye Xiwen was coming towards him step by step; even his arms had begun to shake slightly. It wasn't that he had never seen a powerful expert. In fact, he had seen the strongest experts in Shang Yang City. However, he hadn't thought that this ordinary looking young man could wipe out the Five Huang Brothers within such a short span of time. After all, he had enormous faith in them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the Poyuan Villa so rashly... "What do you want to do?" Li Cheng Tian swallowed his saliva. He had become very nervous. "Didn't you do what you wanted to do just now? So, now I will do what I want to do!" Ye Xiwen replied insipidly. His expression looked cold... as if he was talking to a dead person. Li Cheng Tian had killed many people in his life. However, most of them were young and weak people. In fact, he would've collapsed very easily if he had encountered people who were far stronger than him. However, Ye Xiwen was different. Many of the people whom he had killed were more tyrannical than him. Of course, he had reached up to here after fighting and defeating all those powerful enemies. That's why he had a seemingly invincible aura, and Li Cheng Tian didn't. "Don't you dare trying something…! My father is the Clan Lord of the Li Clan. The Li Clan won't let you off easily if you so much as even touched me!" Li Cheng Tian swallowed his saliva as he tried hard to maintain a stern look in order to intimidate Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen looked at him, and shook his head as a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Li Cheng Tian was also a sage expert like those Five Huang Brothers. However, his aura wasn't even close to their imposing auras. In fact, it was simply pathetic. He was merely a weakling who depended on powerful connections, and bullied the weak. And, it was a waste to spend resources on trash like him! Li Cheng Tian noticed Ye Xiwen's disdain for him by looking at his facial expressions. Li Cheng's face became stiff. Then, a sly look appeared on his face. "Go to hell!" A sage level long sword suddenly appeared in Li Cheng Tian's hand. And, he hacked it at Ye Xiwen without delay. However, he realized that his sage sword had only slashed Ye Xiwen's afterimage. Suddenly, Ye Xiwen appeared in front of Li Cheng Tian, and snatched the sage sword from his hand at a lightning speed. After that, he fiercely slapped Li Cheng Tian on his face. "Bang!" Li Cheng Tian's body rotated rapidly like a spinning top, and went backwards at a very fast speed. His forehead almost got smashed, and his teeth got shattered. "Bang!" Li Cheng Tian's body ferociously crashed into the ground, and a huge crater was formed. He lost consciousness soon- after.

56 comments, join in Chapter 531: Can’t We Ask Ye Xiwen for Help? Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Li Cheng Tian had gone out flying. He had crashed into the ground, and a huge crater had been formed as a result. He had also lost consciousness because of this impact. In fact, it was hard to say whether he would survive or not… Ye Xiwen's incredible strength and ruthlessness had shocked and terrified everyone. They secretly compared his strength with their own. His attack had looked gentle, and they could see that Li Cheng Tian hadn't died. However, Li Cheng Tian had definitely sustained some serious injuries. "Isn't he afraid of the Li Clan's retaliation?" someone whispered "He has defeated the Five Huang Brothers. It shows that he can challenge the experts of the Sage Small Perfection Realm with ease. So, he may not face much trouble even if the Li Clan flies into a rage." "Who is this man? He certainly doesn't belong to the Poyuan Villa. Otherwise, he would've become famous in the entire Shang Yang City by now!" Yan Hong Yi was also in a state of shock after having witnessed Ye Xiwen's fierceness. It wasn't like Yan Hong Yi hadn't killed many people himself. However, the way in which Ye Xiwen had casually beaten them up had left him extremely scared. That look of indifference in Ye Xiwen's eyes had shaken him in particular. [Such a resolute disposition is hard to imagine.] He couldn't help but sigh as he thought of this. He had wanted to recruit Ye Xiwen. In fact, he was even willing to step down from the position of the Villa Lord of the Poyuan Villa for Ye Xiwen. However, it suddenly seemed that his desire to recruit Ye Xiwen couldn't be fulfilled. [It's impossible to contain this extraordinary young man in such a small place.] Suddenly, Yan Hong Yi realized that Ye Xiwen had hurt Li Cheng Tian very badly. Li Cheng Tian was in a miserable state as result. In fact, he was lingering between life and death. This worried Yan Hong Yi so much that he started to have a headache. He clearly knew that Li Clan's Clan Lord loved his son very much. After all, he had even arranged goons like the Five Huang Brothers to guard his son. So, how could he leave the matter after he had come to know that his son had been beaten up this badly? Anyway, everything had already happened. So, there was nothing he could achieve by thinking too much about it now. Also, it didn't matter whether Li Cheng Tian survived or not. After all, his condition would make no difference anymore; the Li Clan wouldn't spare Poyuan Villa once they had moved into action. Yan Hong Yi shot a glance at Ye Xiwen, and pondered over something. [We may get over this calamity if this man stays here with us!] Ye Xiwen looked at Li Cheng Tian. He had attacked without holding back. He hadn't killed Li Cheng Tian. However, he had left him half-dead. The impact had even shaken Li Cheng Tian's mind. Consequently, he would only be a fool from now onwards… "Villa Lord Yan, I have increased your troubles by doing this!" Ye Xiwen turned around towards Yan Hong Yi and said. "It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. The Li Clan has long been eyeing our Poyuan Villa. We would've been killed by those star-beasts back in the Hallucinatory Star Field if Young Brother Ye hadn't helped. So, I think we owe you one!" Yan Hong Yi replied very cordially. He would never harbour ill-will towards Ye Xiwen… even if he had to face Li Clan's fury. Nobody had imagined that Li Cheng Tian would arrive in search of trouble at this time. However, he hadn't been able to cause any trouble for them. Instead, he himself had gotten into trouble, and had been left crippled in the end. This news had spread throughout the Shang Yang City overnight. Many people had witnessed the fight. So, it was impossible for the Poyuan Villa to stop this news from spreading. And, it had caused a sensation in the entire city in no time. "Did you hear? Li Cheng Tian has been crippled by someone!" "Li Cheng Tian…? Isn't he the eldest son of Li Clan's Lord? Who can dare to harm him? Do they have a death wish?" "Ha ha ha... God is watching. Li Cheng Tian had it coming. He was always bossing around people by using the influence of Li Clan. But, he messed with the wrong guy this time... and got wrecked for it. Damn!" Rumours had spread in abundance overnight. Many other forces had also added fuel to the fire. They wanted to see an intense collision between the two giants; Li Clan and Poyuan Villa. They hoped that the clash would be earth-shattering. After all, nothing could be as good as this. Different kinds of rumours had begun to prevail. Some people were also saying that Yan Hong Yi had fought and defeated the Five Huang Brothers. And, he had then brutally beaten up and crippled Li Cheng Tian. After all, there was no other logical explanation for what had happened to Li Cheng Tian and the Five Huang Brothers. People couldn't believe that some young man had defeated the Five Huang Brothers. Consequently, the information about Ye Xiwen nearly got concealed under these rumours. The Li Clan eventually made a move amidst these rumours and anticipations. A declaration of war was sent to the Poyuan Villa as a result. The Li Clan's Clan Lord would personally arrive after three days, and he would ask for an explanation regarding what had happened to his son. Moreover, he had challenged the Villa Lord Yan to a mortal combat; and, only one of them would survive it. The entire city was already bustling with noise and excitement when this news added fuel to the fire. However, everyone suddenly became eager to watch this battle now. The collision between these two big forces would lead to the establishment of one huge force in the Shang Yang City; the other would obviously be eliminated. Moreover, a senior expert of the Sage Small Complete Realm would be overseeing the battle. This was set from the beginning that one individual would certainly die in this mortal combat. So, one amongst these two forces was bound to collapse after this death-match. Almost everyone was optimistic about the Li Clan in this situation. After all, the Li Clan's Clan Lord had already reached the pinnacle of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. And, he was soon going to enter the Sage Great Perfection Realm. He would dominate the entire Shang Yang City once that had happened. Moreover, the news about Yan Hong Yi's injuries had also started to do rounds… The Li Clan's Clan Lord was a bit stronger than Yan Hong Yi. Moreover, Yan Hong Yi's injuries hadn't healed yet. Wasn't it already obvious who would win, and who would lose? The news that two big forces were on the verge of collision had stirred up a storm in Shang Yang City. Yan Hong Yi was reading the declaration of war that he had received from Li Clan's Clan Lord. He was inside his study room in the Poyuan Villa at this time. He sighed as he read the declaration. His daughter Yan Yun Ting was beside him. It seemed as if she had matured all of a sudden; the immature temperament of a little girl had vanished from her persona… She understood that Poyuan Villa was currently passing through its most dangerous time-to-date. The entire Poyuan Villa was solely relying upon Ya Hong Yi. In fact, it might collapse in a flash if they lost the support of a senior Sage Small Complete Realm expert like Yan Hong Yi. There were several other experts of the Sage Peak Realm in the villa. However, there was a huge gap between the Sage Peak realm and the Sage Small Perfection Realm. The gap was like the natural moat around the city; it kept most of the experts from advancing. And, those sage experts would remain stuck at the checkpoint between the Sage Peak Realm and the Sage Small Perfection Realm throughout their lives. Therefore, it could be assumed that the Poyuan Villa's decline would only be a matter of time if Yan Hong Yi died. "Daddy, you mustn't go. Li Fei Bai would stop at nothing. He's about to enter the Sage Great Perfection Realm. So, he will certainly resort to extreme methods to kill you!" Yan Yun Ting bit her red lips, and said. "I know... but there is no other way. The courage of the Poyuan Villa's people will collapse if I don't go!" Yan Hong Yi sighed as he replied. Such is always the condition of a force that solely depends on one person. The entire force collapses in-time if that person dies… "But daddy, you could've given all you've got if you weren't injured. However, you are badly injured. How you can you be a match for Li Fei Bai in this condition? Li Fei Bai wants to use this opportunity to get rid of you. That's why he has proposed a mortal combat. Daddy, you should wait until you've recovered from your injuries. You can face him after that!" Yan Yun Ting said. "Silly girl, my injuries won't heal easily. In fact, they will take many years to fully heal. I hope that they will heal in one fell swoop if I make the breakthrough into the Sage Great Perfection Realm. Besides, do you think Li Fei Bai is so honourable that he will wait for my injuries to heal?" Yan Hong Yi sneered. He was very familiar with his old rival Li Fei Bai. They had grown to understand each other well during this hundred years old enmity. "I reckon he won't even wait for three days if I don't accept this declaration of war. In fact, he might even launch a surprise attack on Poyuan Villa tonight itself!" "Isn't he afraid of being punished by the City Lord?" Yan Yun Ting asked startled. Her pair of wonderful eyes opened wide in wonder. "City Lord…? Can he do anything after everything were to have taken place? Once something happens — it cannot be changed. So, why would he provoke the Li Clan for us?" Yan Hong Yi replied in a straightforward manner. However, he knew that people could be very fickle when it comes to their own survival. Nobody knew better about the inconstancies of human relationships than him. That was why the thought of recruiting Ye Xiwen had previously arisen in his mind. After all, Poyuan Villa's situation would've changed significantly if he had recruited Ye Xiwen. "I've been in conflict with Li Fei Bai since several hundred years. I know him well. He must've made a strategy to kill me since he has chosen to send a declaration of war so confidently," Yan Hong Yi sighed and said. "However, I don't have any way out this time. Our several-hundred-years-old resentment must get settled this time. Moreover, I must go and fight for the sake of the Poyuan Villa. You must take your mother out of Shang Yang City along with the other people of the Poyuan Villa. And, you must never come back..." "Daddy!" Yan Yun Ting nearly jumped up. "How can this be?" "You must be obedient. Li Fei Bai is very merciless by nature. So, he won't spare Poyuan Villa after he has killed me. Therefore, you must take everyone out of here when everyone's attention is drawn to our fight!" Yan Hong Yi said. "You will have to take care of your mother in the future. Fortunately, I think that you've also grown up now!" Yan Yun Ting looked at Yan Hong Yi. Her eyes had turned red from the crying. She softly said, "Daddy, No! I will marry... I will marry Li Cheng Tian!" "No!" Yan Hong Yi immediately replied. "Li Cheng Tian has been notorious since hundred years. Who doesn't know about his evil acts? You will undoubtedly tread dangerous grounds if you marry him. Moreover, he's nothing more than an idiot now. How can I helplessly see you throwing away your life? "Anyway, Li Fei Bai hasn't been targeting me for one or two days now. Our enmity is very old. He won't spare our villa even if you marry Li Cheng Tian. He won't give up until he has either destroyed or annexed our villa!" Yan Hong Yi shook his head. He had rejected Yan Yun Ting's idea without even giving it any thought. "Daddy, can't we ask others for help? Isn't that Ye Xiwen very powerful? He has even defeated a demon-beast of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. Things can change if he gets involved!" Yan Yun Ting bit her lips and said. (To be continued)

12 comments, join in Chapter 532: Fight Begins! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "Young Brother Ye is obviously very strong. Perhaps, even an expert of Sage Small Perfection Realm is no match for him. However, Li Fei Bai has reached the pinnacle of Sage Small Perfection Realm. He's about to enter the Sage Great Perfection Realm. So, Young Brother Ye may not want to face him. Moreover, he has already helped us once. How can I shamelessly ask him to fight for us again?" Yan Hong Yi shook his head and said. Moreover, he was afraid that he would land into a big trouble if he made Ye Xiwen angry. "Forget it. This matter is already decided. You will take your mother and the others out of here after three days. I must take care of this matter on my own!" The night gradually turned darker. Ye Xiwen was blasting his fists in the air inside a small courtyard. He hadn't even used a trace of his real energy. However, the air would still get disintegrated wherever his fists would go. The sound of explosion could be heard from time to time. However, the sound from most of the explosions had been contained by an energy field that didn't allow any sound to proliferate. Sweat dripped from Ye Xiwen's forehead as he panted unceasingly. These several years of expeditions had put him in many dangerous situations. There was hardly any time when he could relax and didn't need to be vigilant. So, he had decided to work on his fist technique now that he had gotten the time to relax. He had been practicing 'Big Bang Stardust Fist' for a long time now. However, his comprehension of this fist technique could only be called 'normal' when compared to his blade technique… or his sword technique. He knew around a hundred forms of his fist technique. However, there was still a big disparity in comparison to those people who had been practicing their fist technique for many years. He had been reducing the gap between 'Lifting heavy weight as if it's light' and 'Lifting light weight as if it's heavy'. However, he wasn't some genius who would 'understand it all' at a glance. The comprehension of these foundations was the most basic step on his cultivation journey. The stronger the foundation… the faster his cultivation speed would be in the future. He hadn't been able to enter the realm of 'lifting light weight as if it's heavy' even after so many years. However, he believed that his fighting strength would increase enormously once he had entered this realm. This tremendous improvement wouldn't take place because of his physical strength… or because of practicing some great secret technique. Rather, it would happen because of the promotion of the foundation of his cultivation. Consequently, his powers would also become more efficient. Xiao Ya was looking at Ye Xiwen practicing the fist technique. She was calmly looking at him with a rare smile on her face. Suddenly, a sound of rushing footsteps came from the outside. Xiao Ya slowly walked out to check. However, she collided with Yan Yun Ting as she rushed in. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Are you hurt?" Yan Yun Ting became anxious when she realized that she had collided with Xiao Ya. After all, she liked this quiet little girl very much. "Little sister, is your elder brother here?" Yan Yun Ting asked. She liked Xiao Ya very much. However, she wasn't in a mood to think about this issue at the moment. Xiao Ya quietly nodded. Her small and delicate face carried a faint smile. So, it seemed that she was in a good mood. "Ye Xiwen?" Yan Yun Ting entered the courtyard. Then, she saw Ye Xiwen sitting on the branch of a big tree inside the courtyard. The starlight was falling obliquely on his body, and was illuminating it. "Excuse me!" Yan Yun Ting stopped as she realized that her actions were discourteous. "What's the matter?" Ye Xiwen jumped down from the branch of the tree. Then, he looked at Yan Yun Ting and asked. "Young Brother Ye, please save our Poyuan Villa!" Yan Yun Ting suddenly knelt down. Her eyes filled with tears as she said this. "Get up; get up first!" Ye Xiwen's eyes moved swiftly as he extended his hand. He didn't allow her to continue kneeling. His 'real elemental energy' held Yan Yun Ting, and made her stand up. "First tell me what has happened?" "I know my request can be very troublesome for you. However, I plead you to save our Poyuan Villa… save my daddy!" Yan Yun Ting replied. "Villa Lord Yan? What happened to him?" Ye Xiwen asked. "Is it about Li Clan's declaration of war?" Ye Xiwen thought for a moment, and understood why Yan Yun Ting had arrived in such a rush. It obviously wasn't Yan Hong Yi's idea. After all, he would've arrived here personally if he wanted to talk. So, this must be her idea. Moreover, such a fast action also matched her carefree personality. "Yes. Li Fei Bai's hates my daddy. So, he will resort to extreme methods if this mortal combat were to take place. He won't spare my daddy. Therefore, I request you to please save my daddy!" Yan Yun Ting's eyes were filled with tears as she said. She suddenly felt how foolish she had been when she hadn't seen her daddy's suffering in the past. "I would've helped even if you hadn't asked when it comes to the Li Clan's declaration of war. After all, I'm also involved in this matter!" Ye Xiwen nodded and replied. It was true that the two clans had already harboured grudges against each other. However, it was Ye Xiven who had ignited this conflict. Otherwise, this conflict could very well have been delayed for several years. "Thank you, thank you very much!" Yan Yun Ting bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude. Her eyes were filled with tears, "I will do whatever you want as long as you save our villa and my daddy's life!" "Hey, hey, don't treat me like someone who would fall as low as to take advantage of your hardship, ok?" Ye Xiwen helplessly looked at Yan Yun Ting. After all, taking advantage of someone's hardship was beneath his dignity. Yan Yun Ting looked at Ye Xiwen with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face. However, she also felt a bit relieved. After all, she had made up her mind to sacrifice herself for saving her daddy and the Poyuan Villa. However, she also became a bit annoyed once she felt relieved. After all, she was famous for her beauty in the entire Shang Yang City. How could she have such a weak s*x appeal? Clarifying one's intentions was understandable. But, he didn't have to reject her offer so blatantly and hurriedly. Yan Yun Ting's mind had previously been in chaos. However, she had suddenly felt stress-free once she had received the assurance that Ye Xiwen would help them. But, it wasn't known where her hyperactive little mind had flown off to all of a sudden… Ye Xiwen didn't know that Yan Yun Ting was presently thinking about stuff like that. Otherwise, perhaps he would've felt even more helpless. Yan Yun Ting's behaviour had gone beyond his imagination tonight. He had felt that she was a pampered little princess when he had seen her for the first time. However, she seemed a lot more mature right now. Apparently, people need to experience some things in life in order to grow up. Maturity has nothing to do with strength or age. For example, Li Cheng Tian was a spoiled brat of a rich clan in Ye Xiwen's opinion. And, there wouldn't have been any significant difference in his personality even if he had possessed formidable strength. "Listen, Villa Lord Yan will think that I am bullying you if he sees you in this state!" Ye Xiwen looked at Yan Yun Ting helplessly and said. "You don't look old from your appearance. In fact, you look like a teenager. You may even be younger than me. So, why do you always come across as an old man?" Yan Yun Ting smiled through her tears as she said. "I've got a lot of experience!" Ye Xiwen laughed. He was completely different from the pampered Yan Yun Ting whose life had been smooth so far. He had obtained so much experience by cultivating for most of his life. How he could be like her? "How deep is the enmity between your daddy and Li Clan's Clan Lord?" Ye Xiwen curiously asked. The Poyuan Villa's people had been talking about the Li Clan since the time he had met them. So, it was evident that the two sides didn't have a small grudge. "My daddy and Li Fei Bai courted my mother when they were young. Eventually, my mother chose daddy since he had a humble background. However, Daddy and Li Fei Bai have been fighting for several hundred years because of this matter. Li Fei Bai has unceasingly tried to destroy our Poyuan Villa. They've fought with each other many times. The old injuries on daddy's body are also because of Li Fei Bai's plot!" Yan Yun Ting slowly narrated the entire story. It was very common for two people to be jealous of each other because of a love affair when they were young. However, it was rare for such a jealously to continue for several hundred years. Therefore, it was clear that Li Fei Bai's desire for revenge was very strong. "Li Fei Bai and Daddy fought secretly at first. So, it was difficult to determine the winner and loser. However, Daddy has sustained serious injuries this time around, and Li Fei Bai has advanced greatly. So, he must be assured of his win. And, that's why he has sent this declaration of war. It's because this is the perfect opportunity for him to kill Daddy!" Yan Yun Ting said. "This is going to be difficult!" Ye Xiwen secretly thought. It was widely known that Li Fei Bai was about to enter the Sage Great Perfection Realm... This obviously meant that he was at the pinnacle of Sage Small Perfection realm. [He must be stronger than that fierce star-wolf king.] However, he was involved in this matter. So, he couldn't back down no matter what. Three days' time had passed in a flash. It had disappeared within the blink of an eye. No news came out about Li Clan or Poyuan Villa in these three days. However, that didn't mean that the city was in peace. On the contrary, the entire Shang Yang City was seething with excitement because of Li Clan's declaration of war. The hatred and desire for revenge between Li Clan and Poyuan Villa had lasted for several hundred years. So, many people knew that it was the time to end this hatred and desire for revenge. Moreover, it was inevitable that only one party would survive in the end. The enmity of several centuries would come to an end when the two big forces would try to overthrow the other this time. "Yan Hong Yi, come out to die!" A loud shout came from the space outside the city on the morning of the third day. The rumbling sound shook the entire Shang Yang City. In fact, it seemed that it would disintegrate the entire city. A figure was issuing dreadful power in the space. He looked like an ominous god who was demonstrating his monstrous might in space. Everyone knew that the mortal combat was about to begin. This exceptional fight would decide the rise or fall of two clans. The entire star field was shaking. This fight had to take place in the space. After all, it was a confrontation between two senior experts of Sage Small Perfection Realm. Therefore, the entire Shang Yang City could get destroyed if either of them forgot to take precaution. Consequently, such a stunning fight could only take place in the space. After all, only the space could withstand such a fight without thoroughly collapsing. That ice-cold figure exuded a chilling and murderous aura. Many people were left trembling, and didn't dare to come close. However, an increasing number of people had still gathered since they wanted to see this exceptional battle. "Bang!" An imposing aura exploded from the Shang Yang City, and soared up. It was located far away from Li Fei Bai's stunning aura. A figure came out of the city, and rushed into the space. (To be continued)

31 comments, join in Chapter 533: Things Take a New Turn Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga The entire Poyuan Villa had turned quiet in the morning. There was an unusual silence everywhere. It seemed as if everyone had gone to see the duel between Yan Hong Yi and Li Fei Bai. Numerous whistling sounds were coming from a distant place. Numerous people were heading towards the Poyuan Villa on their flying lights. Such a commotion alarmed many experts along the way. After all, there were no ordinary civilians in this city; everyone in this city was a martial arts expert. Therefore, it was hard to say how superior their perception skills were when compared to that of ordinary people. The divine senses swept from all around and caught on this huge group. "Li Clan? They are Li Clan's people! What are they doing here?" "Oh God, they are the famous experts of Li Clan. Aren't those eight men in the front the Li Clan's Eight Tigers? I've heard that each of them is an expert of the Sage Peak Realm. They enjoy a huge reputation in the Li Clan. Each of them can rule over a region. They rarely appear together. However, they've turned out in full strength now. What is Li Clan planning to do?" "Is that old man in the front Li Clan's hidden Great Elder? Look at his aura! Has he already broken into the Sage Small Perfection Realm?" There was an old man leading the group of experts of Li Clan. He was dressed up in a green robe. His countenance looked ice-old, and a bit pompous. His unstable aura was occasionally leaking from his body. He was a dreaded expert of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. He had entered the Sage Small Perfection Realm very recently. So, his aura was a bit unstable. Nonetheless, he was in Sage Small Perfection Realm, and Sage Peak Realm couldn't hold a candle to it. "He's really at the Sage Small Perfection Realm!" Some weak experts in the city trembled under the coercion of this old Great Elder. They couldn't even prevent their bodies from shivering! "Look at the direction they are headed towards… Is it Poyuan Villa? Yan Hong Yi and Li Fei Bai are fighting outside the city. And, a group of experts of Li Clan has turned out in full strength…? It's obvious that they want to exterminate the Poyuan Villa. This is a very good strategy. It's game over for Poyuan Villa this time!" The experts of Li Clan were moving very quickly. They were advancing aggressively, and didn't seem to care about concealing themselves. In fact, it seemed that they wanted everyone to see them. Some insightful people had already understood what was going on. After all, Li Clan's actions had explained everything very simply. Li Clan wanted to establish their prestige. They wanted everyone to see how a colossal force of the Shang Yang City like the Poyuan Villa had to collapse in front of them. The Shang Yang City was very big. However, those experts of the Li Clan had crossed it within a short span of time upon their flying lights. The barrier formation that was protecting the Poyuan Villa had gotten activated while facing the group of experts from the Li Clan. Li Clan's Great Elder stepped forward. His imposing aura surged up. Then, it transformed into a gigantic glowing red light, and soared up. He looked like an ominous devil at this moment. His blazing gaze could pierce the Nine Heavens. "Humph!" the Li Clan's Great Elder coldly snorted. Then, he suddenly stomped his foot, and issued a wave of bright red light. The light carried tremendous power as it swept down like a tide towards the barrier. The red light collided with the matrix formation that was protecting the villa. Endless divine beam spattered in all directions for a moment. The spirit energies in the surroundings got churned and thrown in all directions. The space also collapsed as this happened. "Bang!" The entire matrix formation that was protecting the villa broke down within a split second. After all, it couldn't resist this attack from such a close distance. The dreadful strength of an expert of Sage Small Perfection Realm had manifested itself. "Who has dared to cause a disturbance in our Poyuan Villa?!" Suddenly, a delicate shout came from inside the villa. It then transformed into sound arrows, and shot towards the Li Clan's Great Elder. "This pathetic little trick won't work!" The Li Clan's Great Elder took a step. Countless spirit energies instantly gathered under his feet, and condensed into a thick shield before him. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Those sound arrows tore through the atmosphere, and crashed into that 'spirit energy shield', and 'metal clanging' sounds were issued as a result. It seemed as if a giant bell had rung through the atmosphere. In fact, a terrible storm had been set off because of this. Several figures flew out of the Poyuan Villa at this time. They were led by Yan Yun Ting. She seemed to have lost her mischievous vibe. On the contrary, she looked reliable and experienced. "Why have you Li people come here?" An expert of the Sage Peak Realm attacked from inside the Poyuan Villa at this time. A long sword cut open the space as he attacked, and took the form of a hanging galaxy. The boundless galaxy then suddenly swept down. This was an attack from an experienced Sage Peak Realm expert of Poyuan Villa. "A mantis trying to stop a chariot, eh? Don't overestimate your capabilities!" Li Clan's Great Elder sneered. His skinny figure appeared incomparably large as he stood there motionless. That hanging galaxy arrived in front of the Li Clan's Great Elder within the blink of an eye, and he finally moved. However, he then stretched out his big hand. And, it covered everything in an overwhelming manner as it swept out. In fact, it seemed as if boundless clouds had fallen down. The scene looked like an apocalyptic sight. The galaxy and the clouds collided, and issued a dreadful storm. The vast atmosphere got shattered, and dispersed in all directions. "Aah!" A scream was heard at the same time. That expert of Sage Peak Realm screamed, and was sent flying away by the explosion. He collided with several buildings before he come to a halt. And, most of his body had begun to collapse as a result. "How audacious! Your Li Clan has gone too far!" a loud shout came from inside the villa as a spear was shot out. It slashed out unrestrained divine beams that took the form of a giant dragon; it was a terrifying sight. This long spear was carrying incomparably powerful energy. It locked on Li Clan's Great Elder, and streaked across the atmosphere with an irresistible force. The Li Clan's Great Elder didn't dare to neglect this attack. In fact, he got a bit scared this time. It could even be said that the terrifying power from this spear had left him to tremble. Moreover, he didn't have enough time to react this time. That spear reached near him in a flash. He had laid out several defences in front of him. However, these defences got smashed to pieces under this spear-attack. However, his defences gave him some time to react. So, his figure turned around, and flew away. But, that spear had still opened a large wound on his body. And, blood gushed out from that wound as an overbearing energy invaded his body. "Who?" The Great Elder's vision swept across the Poyuan Villa's buildings. "Old Man, I'm surprised that you are still alive. Your Li Clan is vicious and merciless. You couldn't even wait for a little while!" A figure emerged from inside the Poyuan Villa along with these cold words. It was none other than the Villa Lord of Poyuan Villa — Yan Hong Yi! "How can Yan Hong Yi be here?" Many experts who were watching this scene from afar were stunned. "Yan Hong Yi is here… So, who is duelling with Li Fei Bai outside the city?" This question appeared in many people's minds. They got very excited since things had taken a new turn. Many people had run from the city because of the impending duel between Yan Hong Yi and Li Fei Bai. And, the Li Clan had taken advantage of this situation. They had launched an attack on the Poyuan Villa under the leadership of that Great Elder who had recently entered the Sage Small Perfection Realm. They wanted to wipe out Poyuan Villa so that they didn't have to worry about it in the future. However, they couldn't have imagined that Yan Hong Yi would still be inside the Poyuan Villa. After all, he was supposed to have gone for the duel with Li Fei Bai… The situation had become very confusing. Many people had been certain of Li Clan's victory before the event had started. However, they weren't entirely sure now… "Yan Hong Yi, is it really you?" Li Clan's Great Elder asked with a look of astonishment on his face. [Yan Hong Yi was supposed to have gone for the duel. However, he is here. So, who has gone there? Is it a trap?] Li Clan's Great Elder started to think of all kinds of conspiracies. His countenance had turned even more complicated as he looked at Yan Hong Yi — the youth who had grown up under the pressure of Li Clan, and had eventually become the role model for people who came from a humble background. Yan Hong Yi's countenance had turned cold. He was extremely glad that he hadn't taken the wrong step. He had certainly believed that Li Clan would attack Poyuan Villa, but only after Li Fei Bai had killed him. So, he had felt that they would have the time to rescue everyone. However, he hadn't thought that the Li Clan's attack on Poyuan Villa would take place parallel to his mortal combat with Li Fei Bai. It seemed that the Li Clan didn't wish to give Poyuan Villa any chance of survival. Yan Hong Yi felt cold in his heart as he thought of this. After all, he would have dragged the Poyuan Villa's people to death along with him! However, he fortunately didn't take that step. "How can you be here? It's impossible!" Li Clan's Great Elder shouted in disbelief. "Nothing is impossible. But, it's time to settle our centuries-old score!" Yan Hong Yi's eyes had turned ice-cold. In the extraterritorial battlefield on the other side… Li Fei Bai was alone, and was showing off his exceptional fighting strength in the space. A formidable coercion radiated from him in all directions. In fact, even the experts who had wanted a better view hadn't dared to come close. Li Fei Bai's middle-aged handsome face revealed an ice-cold and ruthless expression. He had anticipated Yan Hong Yi to appear before his eyes. However, Yan Hong Yi hadn't come. Instead, a green-clothed young man had appeared before him. His figure was slim, and his aura was surging. Moreover, his aura gave off a sense of arrogance… as if he looked down on the world. Ye Xiwen was extremely quick. He had suddenly appeared in front of Li Fei Bai by treading on his flying light. Then, he sized up Li Fei Bai. He noticed that Li Fei Bai's battle armour was giving off an icy shine. He looked like a god in the space. Even the stars looked insignificant in front of him. Even Ye Xiwen was a bit cautious. After all, Li Fei Bai had already entered the pinnacle of the Sage Small Perfection Realm. Moreover, he was only a step away from obtaining the strength of the Sage Great Perfection Realm. Therefore, he was much more powerful than that fierce star-wolf king. "Who are you? Where is Yan Hong Yi?" Li Fei Bai asked somewhat indifferently. "Is he such a coward that he hasn't come himself and has sent an amateur-ish young boy instead? Get lost, and ask him to come. Otherwise, I will go and trample his Poyuan Villa flat myself!" Li Fei Bai had become restless. [Yan Hong Yi isn't here. So, the people I had sent to launch a raid on the Poyuan Villa must be in trouble!] "Don't bother. I have come to fight with you on behalf of Villa Lord Yan!" Ye Xiwen stated. "Who do you think you are? You don't deserve to fight with me!" Li Fei Bai said disdainfully. "I am the one who defeated the Five Huang Brothers. And, you're saying that I don't deserve to fight with you?" Ye Xiwen insipidly replied. "What? You're the little bastard who injured my son?" Li Fei Bai opened his eyes wide.

Li Fei Bai sneered. He hadn't placed Ye Xiwen as his first target. After all, he had believed that the people of Poyuan Villa would have no choice but to die once he had killed Yan Hong Yi; the person who had injured his son would be no exception either. However, he hadn't expected Ye Xiwen to appear before him instead of Yan Hong Yi. So, he had become enraged since things hadn't gone according to his plan. "I hadn't expected that Yan Hong Yi wouldn't come, and would instead send you to die. When did he become such a coward?" Li Fei Bai spoke-up in a disdainful manner as he belittled his old rival. "He hasn't become a coward. But, you're not worthy of fighting him!" Ye Xiwen calmly replied. His lofty figure was standing tall in the space. Not worthy of fighting him! The first word that had come in the minds of the spectators after they heard this sentence was 'arrogant'. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't some ordinary arrogant person. Li Fei Bai had an outstanding reputation in the Shang Yang City. He had established supreme prestige since several hundred years. So, who would dare to say that he wasn't worthy? However, Ye Xiwen had indeed said it. Each of these spectators could rule over a region since they were sage experts. However, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of these two supreme individuals. Moreover, they were afraid that the aftermath of this battle would blow them away. "Not worthy…? Those are big words! An insignificant expert of the intermediate stage of sage realm dares to act audaciously in front of an experienced man?!" Li Fei Bai sneered and said. His gaze pierced Ye Xiwen like a sword. Li Fei Bai's incomparably tyrannical aura swept out like a vast ocean. It surged forth overwhelmingly as it swept out towards Ye Xiwen. Golden waves suddenly appeared under Ye Xiwen's feet as his aura swept towards Li Fei Bai. "Bang!" The two stunning 'imposing auras' collided in the space, and cracks proliferated in the surroundings from the point of collision. The space was left to crack like glass as a result. Many experts had been watching from afar. However, they were forced to retreat; especially some experts of the semi-sage realm since they still hadn't reached the sage realm. In fact, they had an even more frightened expression on their faces as compared to the sage realm experts around them. They retreated again and again. In fact, the aftershocks had even swept some of them away. They were even forced to defend themselves with their entire strength. After all, they would've gotten crushed by the aftershocks if they hadn't… "You've got some skills. However, you're still a long way off from me!" Li Fei Bai coldly shouted. Then, he brandished a spear. He looked like a general who had been on expeditions for many years as he thrust his spear forward. The spear issued an incredibly stunning 'murderous aura' that subsequently transformed into an evil dragon. The energy spread out in all directions. The dragon suddenly opened its mouth like a sacrificial bowl, and advanced towards Ye Xiwen to kill him. However, Ye Xiwen stood fearless, and brandished his long sword. It was merely an ordinary sword. There was nothing fancy about it. And, it didn't issue any gorgeous looking divine beam either. Then, Ye Xiwen performed a simple sword attack. However, it still seemed that it would smash the world within a split second. The sword-slash opened endless cracks as it went forward to face the incoming spear attack. "Bang!" The two weapons collided. And, the sage-level spear in Li Fei Bai's hand issued incredible rays of light. However, Ye Xiwen's iron sword pierced through those rays of light like the sunlight cuts through the darkness. And, his sword eventually collided with the tip of the spear. "Crack, Crack!" Numerous cracks appeared in the sky, and left it to look like a spider's web. A 'killing intention' flashed in Li Fei Bai's eyes as he saw that Ye Xiwen had blocked his attack. He had also realized that this young man's realm didn't matter. This young man possessed the strength of Sage Small Perfection Realm to say the least. And, there was no doubt about this. This youth belonged to Poyuan Villa as per Li Fei Bai's knowledge. And, it seemed that he had become very strong at a very young age. He hadn't merely maintained a youthful appearance like others had. Rather, he was genuinely very young. And, such a person could pose a huge threat to him in the future if he was allowed to continue his cultivation. He clearly knew how terrifying such a person could become later on. Therefore, such a person had to be strangled in the cradle! He had to be killed before he could cause greater damage. The people of Li Clan who were witnessing this duel also felt the same. The elite experts of the Li Clan had gone to launch an attack on Poyuan Villa. However, some of them had arrived here along with their Clan Lord. It was hard for them to conceal the look of astonishment in their eyes. It would have been acceptable if it had been that famous and outstanding Yan Hong Yi. After all, Villa Lord Yan had been able to contend against their Clan Lord in the past as well. However, this unknown young man had proved to be a match for their Clan Lord so far. And, this was beyond their very imaginations… Some people of the Poyuan Villa had also arrived to watch the fight. However, they also hadn't thought that Ye Xiwen would be able to block Li Fei Bai's attack. However, their confidence increased enormously once they saw that Ye Xiwen was handling this with ease. They had come prepared to die since they were determined to delay Li Fei Bai after he had won the fight. After all, they wanted to buy time for the evacuation of the villa. However, it suddenly seemed that they didn't need to think about dying just yet. "Is that all you've got? Li Clan's Clan Lord… a man who has shaken the Shang Yang City for several hundred years with his power! Does he only possesses this much strength?" Ye Xiwen softly taunted. He had spoken this with disappointment and contempt. His voice wasn't loud. However, it had exploded in everyone's mind like thunder. Everyone was looking at Ye Xiwen's slightly slim figure. However, nobody felt that he was too wild and rash anymore. In fact, he suddenly seemed to have the qualification to back such words. "I didn't know that a young man who doesn't know the profoundness of this world could be so wild after making such a small accomplishment. I've seen many so-called geniuses like you. However, all of them have turned into dust!" Li Fei Bai coldly replied. His words were sharp and penetrating. "I've also seen many old dogs like you... dogs that have been practicing for several hundred years. I would have smashed you like an ant if I had gotten to even one-tenth of your cultivation time!" Ye Xiwen sneered back in response. It could be said that he wasn't lacking when it came to glib-talking… "You're courting death!" Li Fei Bai's face turned pale. This had poked a weak spot of his heart. Many outstanding geniuses had died in the past before they had even reached the sage realm. They had perished before they could make a name for themselves, and proclaim themselves as hegemons. None of those peerless geniuses had survived. And, he had managed to become the late-comer who had outlived his more-deserving peers. Therefore, he had become the hegemon in this region even though he was nothing but ordinary in comparison to his now-dead peers. Indeed, many of his peers had died and turned into dust. However, those who had survived had risen to the point where he couldn't even look up to them. The spear in Li Fei Bai's hand issued endless 'spear beams', and they then swept out towards Ye Xiwen. He felt that such a person couldn't be left alive. Otherwise, it would be a huge disaster for him. Li Fei Bai's foundation possessed the accumulation of several hundred years. His foundation had become incredibly deep. A person like Ye Xiwen couldn't match this since he had reached this level within a short span of time. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't afraid. His eyes looked deep. And, his golden divinities crawled over his entire body as he raised his iron sword to face the attack. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The tips of the spear collided countless times with the iron sword within a split second. Li Fei Bai's spear was a sage tool that had been improved for countless years. And, the iron sword in Ye Xiwen's hand was an ordinary long sword. However, it had still revealed unimaginable might in his hand. The actions of both sides were getting increasingly faster. Li Fei Bai's realm was much higher than that of Ye Xiwen's. However, Ye Xiwen's body had already been toughened to a terrifying extent. Moreover, his attacking speed was at the peak because of his clear mind. The ruthless and tyrannical expression in Li Fei Bai's eyes intensified as the fight progressed. He had been underestimating Ye Xiwen so far. However, he had started to take him seriously now. In fact, he was becoming more and more afraid of Ye Xiwen. So, he had become even more determined to kill him. "Bang!" The tip of the spear collided with the sword in the space once again. Li Fei Bai didn't retreat. He instead stepped forward and ferociously leapt towards Ye Xiwen. He arrived in front of Ye Xiwen within the blink of an eye... like lightning! The imposing aura of the spear in his hand made it appear as if it was a dragon. The dragon-like spear swept out, and shattered the void as it thrust towards Ye Xiwen's head. "Go to hell!" A sinister look appeared on Li Fei Bai's face as a crazed look flashed in his ice-cold eyes. However, Ye Xiwen's speed wasn't any lesser. And, he instantly responded by raising his sword to block the attack. "Bang!" Li Fei Bai's spear collided with the sword's body. "Bang!" The tip of Ye Xiwen's iron sword broke down. After all, it was merely an ordinary iron sword. However, Ye Xiwen used his divine wisdom, and mended it within the blink of an eye. His patchwork skill wasn't at a very high level. However, fortunately his sword was only an ordinary iron tool. So, it could be repaired in a flash. Ye Xiwen didn't budge under Li Fei Bai's attack. He merely stood there motionless. On the contrary, Li Fei Bai was sent flying by a tremendous force. And, his eyes were left to reveal an incomparably terrified look. How could his opponent have such terrifying strength? It was too frightening! There was no limit to how much scared he was right now. In fact, Ye Xiwen appeared like a super-monster whose body was cloaked in human skin. After all, Ye Xiwen's realm was far inferior to his. However, it was him who had gone out flying by the impact of this collision. Ye Xiwen's toes moved slightly at this moment. Then, his figure transformed into golden streamer, and suddenly arrived in front of Li Fei Bai. He immediately used a very basic sword move. And, his long sword transformed into a viper and rushed out. The attacking side and the defending side had switched places. The strengths of both parties had surpassed that of an average sage expert. They were fighting at a lightning fast speed. They were moving so quickly that an ordinary person couldn't even track their movements. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Cracks appeared in the void every time they clashed. Li Fei Bai's offensives became more and more urgent. However, Ye Xiwen's defensives were impenetrable. Both individuals had gone all out. However, it still wasn't possible to determine the clear winner. "Who is this man? How has he proven to be a match for Li Fei Bai?" Many people were in doubt. After all, they didn't know how Ye Xiwen was managing to hold his own against Li Fei Bai to this extent. In fact, Ye Xiwen's strength was enough to scare a person to death. "Yeah. It's insane. We mustn't go near them while they are fighting. Otherwise, we may get suppressed to death by the aftershocks of their fight. It's no wonder that they are fighting in the space. The Shang Yang City wouldn't have been able to withstand such an intense battle!" Li Fei Bai wasn't calm like Ye Xiwen. After all, he was failing to defeat Ye Xiwen. So, he had gradually become very anxious. Moreover, Yan Hong Yi was probably still in Poyuan Villa since Ye Xiwen was here. And, this meant that the experts he had sent to destroy Poyuan Villa would've bumped into Yan Hong Yi by now. They would've landed into big trouble as a result. And, they would probably suffer heavy losses if things didn't change very quickly. A crazed look appeared in his eyes as he realized this. "Boy, you are courting death!" (To be continued) Rate Translation Quality 36 comments, join in Chapter 535: Slaughters Li Fei Bai! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Li Fei Bai had decided to better not delay any further. After all, it was hard to say how things would turn out to be if he continued to delay. A dangerous aura began to permeate into the surroundings from his body. Then, thick hair began to sprout on his body. And, they soon covered his body entirely. Consequently, he started to look like a hairy monster from afar. In fact, Ye Xiwen even got some 'star-beast' vibes from his body. "How has Li Fei Bai transformed into this? Isn't he human?" Someone among those spectators who were watching this fight from afar had gotten scared. In fact, that boundless and ominous aura had scared a lot of people. "This is Li Fei Bai's special ability. He can transform into a 'beast man', and his strength increases enormously after he has had this transformation. I've heard that he had once sucked the blood of a star-beast. That's how he obtained this special ability." Ye Xiwen frowned as he looked at Li Fei Bai. After all, he had become even more dangerous after becoming the beast man. He was very unscrupulous; to think he'd even transform into a monster in order to gain strength… "Young man, I haven't undergone this transformation for more than a hundred years. But, you have forced me to take this step today. So, I can say that you're pretty good. However, that's all that you could've done. It's over now!" Li Fei Bai coldly stated. The hair on his body had become even thicker and longer. In fact, he bore no resemblance to his original appearance now. He had radically transformed into a hairy and humanoid monster. "Bang!" Li Fei Bai suddenly trod forward, and numerous cracks appeared in the space. He had used a dreadful reactive force to propel himself forward. His body had grown much bigger after the transformation. And, his speed had also increased significantly. He arrived in front of Ye Xiwen within the blink of an eye. Then, the spear in his hand issued an ear-piercing sound, and swept out towards Ye Xiwen. "Whoosh!" Ye Xiwen simply raised his hand, and grabbed that spear. The tip of the spear struck his palm, and this collision issued a metal clanging sound. Vigorous 'Real Elemental Energy' gathered in the middle, and then swept swirling across in the air. It opened a huge crack in the void. Everyone was left dumbstruck as they witnessed this scene. The fight had become even more intense than before. Neither of these two individuals was letting up. It had seemed that Ye Xiwen wouldn't be able to withstand Li Fei Bai, and would be defeated very quickly. However, Ye Xiwen had become increasingly calm. In fact, it seemed as if Li Fei Bai couldn't give him any trouble even after he had turned into a beast man. "Crack!" A huge mountain fell from above as the intense sound of breaking of space was heard. It then swept down towards Li Fei Bai. It was the 'Hanshan Seal'! However, Li Fei Bai reacted very quickly. He broke away from Ye Xiwen's entanglement. He then trod away and escaped from the range of Hanshan Seal's bombardment. "Rumble!" the 'Hanshan Seal' bombarded, and the entire space in its attack-range sunk- in and collapsed like a sinkhole. The spectators held their breaths. The 'Hanshan Seal' had shattered the space in a large area. This technique had indeed carried enormous might. "Buried Person Sword!" Li Fei Bai had barely avoided the attack of the 'Hanshan Seal' when he heard an ice-cold shout in his ears. "Haa!" "Haa!" "Haa!" Sword energies formed in the space, and then spread out to cover everything in the range as they swept towards Li Fei Bai. They swept over like an overwhelming wave. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Li Fei Bai unceasingly brandished his spear in order to block those sword energies. However, each of those swords had carried enormous power. In fact, it seemed as if they would pierce the world itself. The palm with which Li Fei Bai held the spear had been badly mutilated. Each incoming sword-energy appeared like a small mountain as he tackled them. It was like facing a barrage of hills! Li Fei Bai became extremely scared in his heart. [How can someone have such terrifying strength? He's like a beast disguised as a human!] It was a strange scene to behold. Li Fei Bai looked like a monster. However, he was retreating under the continuous sword-attacks of the slim-looking Ye Xiwen. Everyone found it absurd. [Who's the real monster?] This question had aroused in everyone's minds. "Bang!" Li Fei Bai faced the raid of the sword energies once again. However, he couldn't dodge them this time, and went out flying by the explosion. He collided with a nearby meteorite, and the meteorite got shattered by the impact. It wasn't clear how long it had been since the fight had started. However, Ye Xiwen had gotten complete control over it. Li Fei Bai had appeared very powerful at first. However, he had been suppressed by Ye Xiwen, and had been retreating again and again. "Haa!" A golden figure flashed in front of Li Fei Bai. Ye Xiwen had rushed over, and had appeared in front of him. Then, his iron sword slashed down, and cut open a pitch-black rift as it fell down on Li Fei Bai. "It's over..." Everyone's eyes became wide open as this thought appeared in their minds. After all, this outcome was beyond their wildest imaginations. However, it looked inevitable… and a matter of fact in a way. It was beyond everyone's imagination because they had believed that it would be a one-sided contest in which Li Fei Bai would be victorious. In fact, no one had thought that he would fall into a disadvantageous position. However, this outcome had later seemed inevitable because everyone had realized that Ye Xiwen had maintained the upper hand since the beginning of the fight. The people who had been watching this fight hadn't been sure how long ago the fight had started. However, they were sure that Ye Xiwen had suppressed Li Fei Bai the entire duration of the fight. Therefore, this outcome couldn't be considered as strange. "Bang!" The sound of an explosion stirred the entire space. A blood-red figure emerged from it; it carried a dreadful and ominous aura. Li Fei Bai hadn't been killed by Ye Xiwen's move. Instead, he had moved away from the range of Ye Xiwen's attack. Moreover, his stature had become increasingly large. And, his entire body looked blood-red. He had previously transformed into a big and hairy monster. However, he hadn't transformed completely. But, he had completed his transformation, and had now become a blood-red demon beast! He looked hideous and vicious. It was hard to say which demon-beast's blood he had swallowed that had made him so terrifying. Li Fei Bai's body had transformed completely. And, everyone could feel the dangerous aura on his body. The 'Real Elemental Energy' swept out uncontrollably from his body. It then swirled around, and distorted the vast space. Even the light had gotten distorted. It was a humanoid demon-beast! "Die, kid!" Li Fei Bai roared in a low voice as the blood of the beast rushed into his brain. Consequently, his consciousness became a bit fuzzy, and he became even fiercer. His eyes had also turned a deeper shade of red, and looked very ominous. His eyes were fixated on Ye Xiwen. Nobody had ever forced him to undergo the complete transform. He knew that the complete transformation would harm his body greatly. However, he didn't have any other option at this time. Moreover, everything was worth the risk as long as he could kill Ye Xiwen on the spot. "Tyrant Heavenly Demon Spear!" Li Fei Bai shouted. Terrifying 'Real Elemental Energy' began to surge on his body. And, his spear shot out within a split second. It ripped apart the void, and arrived in front of Ye Xiwen within the blink of an eye. The extremely terrifying force of the spear had shattered the space. And, the space didn't even get enough time to repair itself. "Big Bang Stardust Fist!" Ye Xiwen shouted in a deep voice. The star power began to boil on his entire body. Then, some amount of star power boiled out from his small Universe. It seemed as if his small Universe had expanded countless times in a split second as it swept out. This was his universe. And, it had enveloped Li Fei Bai in a flash. There were only two individuals inside this Universe — Ye Xiwen and Li Fei Bai. Ye Xiwen was the only true God in this Universe, and Li Fei Bai was a great devil who wanted to destroy the world. "Boom!" Ye Xiwen's fist transformed into a huge star, and swept down. It then collided with Li Fei Bai's spear. The space couldn't bear this collision, and collapsed as a result. Ye Xiwen's universe had also begun to distort at a rapid pace. A huge mushroom cloud rose in the Universe. And, rays of light swept out and dazzled many spectators. They screamed and hid away since the rays of light were unbearably bright. These experts of sage and semi-sage realm had found it hard to withstand this… A huge storm had been set off by the impact of the mushroom cloud. A figure went out flying upside-down as the storm dispersed. His entire body was covered with blood. Everyone stared at this figure to find out who it was. [Isn't that Li Fei Bai?] Old Li Fei Bai spouted blood from his mouth. He had gone out flying in front of everyone. His entire body had turned red. However, it wasn't because of his long and red hair. It was because of the blood that had gushed out from the pores of his body. In fact, it appeared as if he was made entirely out of blood. Li Fei Bai couldn't maintain his appearance of a beast-man after he had sustained these severe injuries. So, his long hair returned inside his body as he transformed back into his human form. Li Fei Bai couldn't conceal that look of terror within his eyes this time. Other people hadn't witnessed everything clearly. However, he had experienced Ye Xiwen's ferocious strength first-hand. His body had become as ferocious as that of a star-beast after he had transformed into the beast-man. However, he had still appeared weak in front of Ye Xiwen. The beast-man hadn't even been able to perform better than the human Li Fei Bai. In fact, his internal organs had been ruptured by Ye Xiwen in just one move. [He isn't human! He's a monster draped in a man's skin!] "Crack!" People hadn't even reacted when they heard a shrill sound of breaking of space. Then, a blood-red spear suddenly fell down from above. "Puchi!" Everyone was still distracted when that blood-red spear cut through Li Fei Bai's defensives, and pierced his heart! The entire space had suddenly turned quiet. In fact, there was a deathly silence. After all, an expert of Sage Small Perfection Realm had been impaled to death in the space. They had seen the entire fight with their own eyes. There hadn't been any fanciness to it. Li Fei Bai had been suppressed in this fight from the beginning. He hadn't had the power to fight back. And, it didn't matter how formidable a strength he had revealed; it was simply not enough. He had been suppressed by Ye Xiwen, and had ultimately been impaled to death. The faces of the experts of the Li Clan had turned ashen after they witnessed their Clan Lord being suppressed, and eventually killed by Ye Xiwen. The entire population of the Poyuan Villa were dependent upon Yan Hong Yi. Similarly, the people of Li Clan had also solely depended on Li Fei Bai. Li Clan's background was comparatively more profound than the Poyuan Villa's. However, it still wasn't that much better… The faces of the Poyuan Villa's experts revealed a look of excitement. They felt elated. After all, a huge stone had finally been lifted from their chests. This incident obviously caused a huge sensation in the Shang Yang City… (To be continued)

How can he be so outstanding?" "I hadn't expected that such an expert would be hiding inside the Poyuan Villa!" The experts trembled as they saw Ye Xiwen's slim figure from behind. His slim figure looked majestic whereas Li Fei Bai's figure looked like a tragic painting that had been nailed in the space. Soon after, another piece of information proliferated in the Shang Yang City. Li Clan's Great Elder had been killed by Yan Hong Yi. In fact, no one had survived among those elite experts of the Li Clan who had launched a raid on the Poyuan Villa. "The Li Clan is finished. Their two top experts have died along with a large number of other elite experts. The Li Clan is now doomed!" Li Clan's decline was the most popular topic in the Shang Yang City for a month. Li Clan's Clan Lord, Li Fei Bai, had been impaled to death before everyone's eyes by Ye Xiwen. This news had shaken the entire Shang Yang City. Li Fei Bai was a powerful and arrogant hegemon of the Shang Yang City. He was about to make the breakthrough into the Sage Great Perfection Realm. In fact, he would've dominated the entire Shang Yang City after he had done so. However, he had been killed in a battle. The entire Shang Yang City was seething because of this news. Everyone had become extremely excited. However, there hadn't been any fanciness to the battle. Li Fei Bai had been forced into a disadvantageous position, and then impaled to death… The Poyuan Villa was solely dependent upon Yan Hong Yi. However, the Li Clan was different from a newly emerging force like Poyuan Villa. After all, the Li Clan was thousand years old, and was regarded as a luxuriant force in the Shang Yang City. How could it be that easy to destabilize it? The Great Elder of Li Clan was another Sage Small Perfection Level expert. He had been killed by Yan Hong Yi after Li Fei Bai's death. Even those other elite experts who had launched a raid on Poyuan Villa hadn't been able to escape. All of them had been killed. The death of Li Fei Bai alone wouldn't have been enough to collapse the Li Clan. However, two senior experts of Sage Small Perfection Realm had died along with many other elite experts. And, the Li Clan had thoroughly declined as a result. The remaining members of the Li Clan had been expelled from the Shang Yang City in a matter of few days. And, the slow runners had been killed… Moreover, the Poyuan Villa wasn't the only force that had attacked them after this incident. It was hard to tell how many people Li Clan had offended during its prolonged dominance in the Shang Yang City. Nobody had dared to say anything to Li Fei Bai and his men because of Li Clan's integrated power. However, those previously hidden enemies had emerged after the Li Clan's support pillar had been eliminated. The Li Clan that had enjoyed an illustrious reputation for a thousand years had been uprooted within the short time of one month. And, this had shaken the entire Shang Yang City. Those thousand-year-old or ten-thousand- year old clans might be extremely tyrannical for ordinary people. However, this incident had made everyone realize that even such clans were nothing for genuine experts. A force that was dependent on its millennium- old strength had become a big joke in front of true tyrannical strength. Everyone was happy in Poyuan Villa since such a big problem had been resolved. They felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from their chests. Moreover, they didn't need to worry about facing destruction anymore. Yan Hong Yi showed gratitude towards Ye Xiwen in his study room inside the villa. He said, "We were fortunate that Young Brother Ye saved the entire Poyuan Villa this time. It's a huge favour. I don't have words to thank you!" "It's no big deal. It was very easy. Moreover, I was somewhat responsible for this whole mess!" Ye Xiwen waved his hand as he replied. It had been a month since the battle. However, this was the first time that Yan Hong Yi was talking to Ye Xiwen since then. And, that was because he had been bedridden this entire time. That Great Elder of Li Clan had entered the Sage Small Perfection Realm only recently. However, Yan Hong Yi had been suffering from old injuries. So, he hadn't been in his peak condition. Therefore, he had sustained serious injuries in an Earth-shattering fight with that Great Elder. Consequently, he had been bedridden for an entire month. In fact, he had only 'somewhat' recovered even now… Yan Hong Yi had decided to revel for a while. He had only brought a person along with him so that they could spend some time together and have fun. However, that person had ended up saving his Poyuan Villa. This represented the so-called saying 'lead a leisurely life drinking and enjoying, and leave everything in god's hands'. "Forgive my audacity for asking Young Brother Ye to come here so untimely. I have something that I would like to request you to do!" Yan Hong Yi sincerely s¬aid. "Please say!" Ye Xiwen replied. "The Great Gas Building in our River Shore Star Field is about to open very soon. I would like to request Young Brother Ye to visit it if he doesn't mind!" Yan Hong Yi said. "Where is this Great Gas Building?" Ye Xiwen asked. "Great Gas Building is the most magical place in our star region. It is said that an almighty force had left behind a divine tool long time ago. And, that tool is locked at that place in our Star Region. Many people leave for the Great Gas Building every time it opens. And, many people have gained enormous benefits there. Some of them have skyrocketed, and become top-notch experts of their generation!" Yan Hong Yi explained. "However, only a limited number of people can enter the Great Gas Building. The 10 people who possess the maximum strength and the most outstanding innate talent get the approval to enter that place. I can see that Young Brother Ye is very young. However, your strength is enough to awe the entire world. Your innate talent must also be outstanding. So, you definitely have a chance!" Yan Hong Yi continued. "I'm also telling you this because of my selfish motive. There's a strip of domain called the 'Great Gas Collar' in the immense domain surrounding the Great Gas Building. One can find different kinds of precious treasures inside that strip of domain. However, fierce- beasts and demon-beasts are also present there. My wife is seriously injured, and I need the Green Scaled Fruit for her treatment. I believe that it can be found there because someone had once obtained it from there. I had previously planned to go there alone. However, my injuries haven't healed yet. Therefore, I won't be able to go there in such a condition. I hope that Young Brother Ye will pay a little bit attention to this matter. I will be very much grateful to you if you do so!" Yan Hong Yi bowed again to show gratitude towards Ye Xiwen. [Green Scaled Fruit, Great Gas Collar?] He had heard about this matter from Yan Hong Yi in the past. Yan Hong Yi had originally planned to go there alone. However, he had sustained a lot of injuries after having been in several fights. The records of this Great Gas Collar were present in the Northern Dipper's secret map that Ye Xiwen possessed. However, the Northern Dipper didn't have much information on the Great Gas Building. They only recorded legends that said that a God had left behind a divine tool at this place. Many people had obtained heritages whenever the Great Gas Building had opened. Moreover, many different heritages had been found there. Power techniques, divine tools, and many other precious treasures had also been found. Ye Xiwen didn't wish to miss the opportunity to go to the Great Gas Building since he wanted to increase his strength by leaps and bounds within a short span of time. Ye Xiwen left Shang Yang City while the entire city was still immersed in the shock of Li Clan's collapse. He had once again set foot on his journey back to the True Martial University after bidding farewell to Yan Hong Yi and the others. A golden light streaked across the space as a young man dressed in green clothes shuttled in the space at an astonishing speed. A pair of golden wings was fluttering on his back, and the sound of wind and thunder faintly echoed every time his wings fluttered. The spirit energies transformed into an astral wind, and blew against his face. The wind blew his clothes, and a 'flapping' sound echoed. He had enhanced his devil wings to an entirely different level. So, he swept out wind and thunder as his wings fluttered. Moreover, it could be said that this magical power resembled the 'wind and thunder wings' of the legendary character Lei Zhenzi. Ye Mo had once mentioned about the Wind and Thunder Wings. However, Ye Xiwen had made fun of him. How could something as primitive as 'Wind and Thunder Wings' be the superior form of his devil wings? After all, the Wind and Thunder Wings merely showed the beginning of magical power and nothing more. It seemed that time had passed very quickly since only a few years were left to prepare for his appointment with Cao Yuyu. Therefore, Ye Xiwen couldn't relax even a bit. He had finally reached the peak of the intermediate stage of sage realm. And, he was about to enter the late stage of sage realm. He would be able to blast away even the experts of the Sage Great Perfection Realm after his next breakthrough. His fighting strength was one step away from entering the Sage Great Perfection Realm. Perhaps, Cao Yuyu had underestimated Ye Xiwen when he had issued the declaration of war. Cao Yuyu had already become a top-tier expert of the sage realm at that time. However, Ye Xiwen hadn't even reached the sage realm. Cao Yuyu had issued the declaration of war because he wanted to kill Ye Xiwen in front of everyone. After all, this would allow him to establish the Law Enforcement Hall's prestige. "He has miscalculated!" Ye Xiwen secretly muttered. Ye Xiwen was no longer that boy who had barely been able to withstand the impact of Cao Yuyu's war declaration. He had been continuously bridging the gap between himself and Cao Yuyu. However, he didn't need to look up anymore. In fact, he would be able to look his opponent in the eye sooner or later... or even overlook him. However, he also remembered Mu Sheng Jie. [That guy had once fought with the Big Brother for the hegemony. And, even the Big Brother hadn't been able to suppress him in a proper manner. Moreover, he has obtained many enormous benefits from the ancient ruins. And, he will become even more ferocious once he comes out of the closed- door training.] Ye Xiwen was more wary of Mu Sheng Jie as compared to Cao Yu Yu. Perhaps, Ye Xiwen was nothing more than a clown who jumped around for an expert of Mu Sheng Jie's calibre. Even an expert of the Sage Great Perfection Realm would seem only slightly stronger than an ant to him. Ye Xiwen became even more afraid as these thoughts crossed his mind. Crushing ants was no big deal when compared to killing fellow human beings. [I would be treated as an ant if I am not strong enough. And, I would then get crushed to death!] Ye Xiwen looked far into the distance with a cold look in his eyes. It didn't matter whether it was Cao Yuyu or Mu Sheng Jie. He wouldn't let them off if they wanted to harm him. Their plots to murder him wouldn't kill him. Instead, they would only make him stronger. [Wait until I return. I will give them a big surprise!] Suddenly, waves of scarlet light began to emanate from Ye Xiwen's body. This made his body shine red, and made him look like a bloody shadow. "Ye Xiwen, where are you going?" Ye Mo's voice reverberated inside Ye Xiwen's mind. "What's your recovery status?" Ye Xiwen asked. "I've recovered... at least 70-80%!" Ye Mo laughed and replied. Countless sage experts had died at Ye Xiwen's hands during these few years of expeditions. Not many of those sage experts had possessed sage tools. However, the number of sage tools he had acquired was still significantly large. And, all those sage tools had been devoured by Ye Mo along with their tool spirits. It was clear that Ye Mo had become much more conscious after he had swallowed Li Fei Bai's sage level spear as well. (To be continued)

27 comments, join in Chapter 537: Dispute is About to Begin Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "The Heavenly Source Mirror has levelled up quickly, and has become a Great Sage Tool after it has swallowed so many sage tools!" Ye Mo merrily stated. Great Sage Tool and sage tool were two entirely different concepts. In fact, there was a difference of cloud and mud between them. Ye Mo had sustained injuries to his essence. However, the Heavenly Source Mirror had nothing to do with that. In fact, Ye Xiwen hadn't seen the injuries affecting the essence of the Heavenly Source Mirror. Therefore, Ye Mo had swallowed the tool spirits of many sage tools in order to replenish his essence. It was similar to when Ye Shu had swallowed other book demons in order to strengthen his essence. Basically, all living things possess the ability to consume another life, and assimilate it into theirs. However, the extent to which they do it isn't the same. The human race also possesses a version of this ability... the so- called 'you become what you eat' theory. However, the extent of food consumption isn't so exaggerated in their case. After all, humans can't devour and assimilate food in its entirety like these demons and spirits can. The 'Heavenly Source Mirror' had swallowed the remaining sage tools. It was impossible for an ordinary divine tool to level up like that. It could be said that the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' had grown up automatically. After all, an ordinary divine tool required the constant support of its owner to add materials. Moreover, special sacrificial techniques also needed to be utilized for it to progress. However, Ye Xiwen didn't need to worry about these things because Ye Mo had taken care of these things by himself. In fact, Ye Xiwen felt that Ye Mo could have used the Heavenly Source Mirror as his main body, and could've cultivated to become a peerless and great devil. After all, this was very much a possibility. "That's awesome!" Ye Xiwen burst into laughter and replied. The 'Heavenly Source Mirror' would undoubtedly become his trump card since it had advanced and become a Great Sage Tool. It would be like a trump card that is hidden at the bottom of the deck. In fact, it would be enough to insta-kill his opponents. "What are you planning to do next?" Ye Mo asked. "I'm planning to visit this Great Gas Building. I want to have a look!" the expression in Ye Xiwen's eyes looked exceptionally firm as he replied. He could have returned to the True Martial University through the Northern Dipper's transportation portal. However, he had decided to postpone that because he wanted to test his limits and gain practical experiences before he returned to the True Martial University. This represented the so- called saying 'Reading ten-thousand books isn't equal to walking ten-thousand miles on the road'. There were a lot of matters that couldn't be understood by undergoing closed- door training alone. The Great Gas Building was undoubtedly the most famous place in the entire River Shore Star Field. The Great Gas Building attracted powerful experts from all corners of the River Shore Star Field. It had been famous for countless years now. This place certainly had many treasures. And, they would provide a big boost to Ye Xiwen since he has always had to face great difficulties in order to promote his strength. Ye Xiwen also had the assistance of his blood slave. The blood slave now controlled the body of the star colossus. So, Ye Xiwen was confident that he would be able to escape even if he were to come across a Great Sage expert. The world was so big. And, he could go anywhere. "Anyway, I can see that you have plentiful 'real elemental energy'. Moreover, you've already reached the peak of the intermediate stage of sage realm. Therefore, it would be better if you first look for a place to train. You should try to break through the threshold of the late stage of sage realm. You will feel much more confident if you go to Great Building after that!" Ye Mo said. Ye Xiwen used his divine sense, and shared some information about the Great Gas Building with him. "Ok!" Ye Xiwen nodded. He had the assistance of his blood slave, and his blood slave had become extremely powerful after it had started to control the star colossus. However, promoting his own strength would still take a lot of time. Moreover, he couldn't rely too much on others. The River Shore Star Field was vast. And, there was a big region in its depths which was called the Great Gas Collar. The Great Gas Collar was gigantic. However, it was perennially packed with a poisonous fog. Even the Great Sage experts didn't dare to venture into this region carelessly. Otherwise, they would be corroded to death. The Great Gas Building was located at the center of the Great Gas Collar. Some people said that the Great Gas Building was a divine tool, while some people said that it was the residence of a god. However, everyone agreed that the Great Gas Building was full of mysteries. The Great Gas Collar remained packed with poisonous fog all the time. It opened once every fifty years. Many old fogies would come out of their closed-door training, and would rush to this place whenever it opened because there were countless precious treasures present at this place. And, they could possibly make the breakthrough into the Great Sage Realm if they were to obtain even a small number of those treasures. However, the Great Sage experts didn't dare to approach the Great Gas Collar. They would get suppressed as soon as they entered it. It didn't matter how formidable a Great Sage Expert was. They would be demoted to the Sage Great Perfection Realm if they entered the Great Gas Collar. Moreover, there wasn't any exception to this. This effect was absolute. Moreover, once a great sage expert who had ventured into the Great Gas Collar had been targeted and killed by several experts of the Sage Great Perfection Realm inside the Great Gas Collar. Therefore, no Great Sage expert had dared to set foot in the Great Gas Collar since then. Initially, the Great Sage experts weren't so scared of the Great Gas Collar. After all, they still carried the experience and perception of a Great Sage expert even if they had been suppressed by the effects of Great Gas Collar, and demoted to the Sage Great Perfection Realm. So, ordinary experts of Sage Great Perfection Realm would still be no match for them. Therefore, many Great Sage experts would visit the Great Gas Collar. The ordinary experts of Sage Great Perfection Realm were no match for them, and would get tortured to death by these Great Sage Experts. However, the ordinary experts of Sage Great Perfection Realm had later joined hands, and had killed a Great Sage expert who had ventured into the Great gas Collar. And, no Great Sage expert had dared to enter the Great Gas Collar since then. After all, how could they make such a mistake with so much wealth on their body? Therefore, the Great Gas Collar had become very famous for being able to suppress Great Sage Experts. Its notoriety had even spread in the nearby star regions. It was a famous restricted zone for Great Sage Experts. Ye Xiwen was looking over the information collected by Yan Hong Yi on the Great Gas Collar. However, he had also become apprehensive about going to the Great Gas Collar after he had come to know that even a Great Sage Expert had died inside this place. Great Sage experts were very different from ordinary sage experts. All Great Sage experts were famous in their respective regions. However, they had been suppressed at this place. And, one of them had even died here. This represented the so-called saying 'A dragon swimming in the shallow waters is toyed by prawns, and a tiger fallen flat on the ground is bullied by the dogs'. This place was extremely mysterious. Ye Xiwen flew quickly for another month, and finally sensed the Great Gas Collar. However, the first thing that had caught his attention was an incomparably large city. It appeared as if a huge continent was floating in the space. The city looked like a giant beast hidden in the space, and it extended as far as one could see. In fact, it looked like a star- colossus! The cities in the space were often much bigger than the cities on various planets. This was because the space had a harsh environment. Therefore, a lot of people lived in a region together. Moreover, there weren't any topographical limitations. So, the cities grew in size with time. However, this city was even bigger than Shang Yang City. In fact, it seemed to be touching the sky. The city walls were so tall that one couldn't even see the edges. This was the only city in the vicinity of the Great Gas Collar. Therefore, it was known as the Great Gas City. It had also become popular because of the Great Gas Collar. Ye Xiwen entered the city without any hesitation. The Great Gas City was very lively at this time since the Great Gas Collar was about to open. The experts from various regions had rushed over here en masse. The experts could be easily found everywhere in the city. The majority of these experts were ordinary sage experts. The Great Sage Experts couldn't enter the Great Gas Collar. Therefore, it was a great opportunity to shine for these ordinary sage experts. Ye Xiwen entered a restaurant to rest for a while. Then, he let out Xiao Ya from the Heavenly Source Mirror. He had put Xiao Ya inside the Heavenly Source Mirror since he had been in a hurry to get to this place. The Heavenly Source Mirror could be regarded as a self-sufficient space at present. It wasn't very big. However, it had enough area for Xiao Ya to perform a wide range of activities. Xiao Ya had advanced in these two months, and had entered the sixth layer of the Xiantian realm. Ye Xiwen envied her progress. However, he couldn't do anything about it. There were too many geniuses in this world... like fishes in the ocean. Pang Yang Bo had become a heaven's pride expert at the age of 11 or 12. Ye Xiwen would have no time left to do anything else in his life if he started to envy each and every one of these geniuses. The entire restaurant was unusually crowded at this time. Ye Xiwen and Xiao Ya were rather unnoticeable, and hadn't attracted anyone's attention. After all, there were too many experts here. Moreover, it was full of strange people. One could tell that there was an enormous difference in the living environments of these strange experts. The majority of the people had black hair and black eyes. However, some of them had purple hair or red eyes. But, these strange looking people also seemed to have blended into the crowd. Someone there had mentioned that these bizarre looking people probably had some relations with a bereaved race. And, someone had also said that their living environment must've been responsible for such a change in their appearance. Everyone had different opinions. However, this was nothing but an ordinary matter. Ye Xiwen wasn't surprised. He had seen white, black, brown, and all other types of people on the Earth. Xiao Ya wasn't concerned about these matters either. In fact, she didn't seem to care about anything besides Ye Xiwen. "The Great Gas Collar is finally about to open. I have been waiting here for more than a year. But, my wait is finally over!" "Yeah... the Great Gas Collar has already begun to spit out some heavenly treasures!" Ye Xiwen had been listening. Apparently, the Great Gas Collar was known to unceasingly spit out heavenly treasures whenever it was about to open. At that time, the entire territory would shake, and it would seem as if those heavenly treasures were falling from it. A lot of people had arrived as early as one year before the opening so that they could find a favourable spot and capture those falling heavenly treasures. Of course, sometimes demon beasts also used to get spat out. One could obtain rare treasures if they were lucky. And, they might bump into those demon beasts, and get torn to pieces by them if they were unlucky. In fact, the chances of that happening were very high. However, these experts were basically desperados who would do anything for their cultivation. Many of them were 'random cultivators with no backgrounds'. They didn't have many resources at their disposal. Therefore, they had to strive for everything that they required. Ye Xiwen was also like them in this regard! "I will go to observe in a while. I wish to see what all heavenly treasures are going to come out. He he, it will be an easy task to gain riches and honour if I manage to obtain some!" "Humph... Riches and honour? I think you want to die!" someone disdainfully sneered and replied. "You think it is some great place…? Beware. You will be doomed if some demon beasts appear instead of those pathetic heavenly treasures!" "Who was that? Which bastard said this? Come out and face me if you have the guts. I dare you!" that man stood up and shouted. "Why wouldn't I dare to show a reckless fool like you his place? I don't know how many arrogant men like you die every day!" that expert who had sneered suddenly stood up and shouted. The entire restaurant immediately became noisy. It seemed that one wrong sentence would lead to a big fight in a place like this. The other experts who were present inside the restaurant also became vigilant, and stood up one after another. "The sixth vibration has begun!" a loud shout came from outside the city, and travelled far and wide. (To be continued)

34 comments, join in Chapter 538: Great Profits Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga The entire restaurant had suddenly begun to seethe with excitement. Everyone had forgotten about that little fight after the Great Gas Collar had begun to vibrate. After all, it had vibrated for the sixth time. The Great Gas Collar used to vibrate nine times before opening. Each vibration lasted for almost a month. Heavenly treasures and demon beasts used to appear on the edge of the Great Gas Collar because of the vibrations during this time. And, it depended on a person's luck whether they would come across a fortuitous treasure... or a disaster! The entire restaurant had emptied within a few moments. Ye Xiwen had also gotten mixed among them. He flew out of the Great Gas City, and went in the direction of Great Gas Collar. The Great Gas Collar appeared in front of him in a short span of time. The Great Gas City was like a colossus floating in the space as Ye Xiwen had originally felt. However, the Great Gas Collar looked like a boundless continent floating in the space by that measure. It looked infinite. It looked like a vast floating continent that had been surrounded by a poisonous fog. Ye Xiwen had barely arrived when he saw a guy getting corroded to death by that poisonous fog. That guy hadn't believed the rumours about this place. He had thought that he'd be able storm into the Great Gas Collar with the help of his sage tool. However, he and his sage tool had gotten corroded by the poisonous fog. That guy's screams had shaken the void. There were many other experts who hadn't believed the rumours either, and had thought about entering the Great Gas Collar. But, all of them suddenly stopped at their places. However, these people were daredevils whose cultivations had reached the sage realm. And, each one of them was proud and arrogant. So, how could they stop because of fear? They obviously weren't going to give up. "Puff!" A streamer of light spouted from the Great Gas Collar. "It has started. It has started spitting!" The Great Gas Collar had begun to spout heavenly treasures. All the experts suddenly went crazy because of this. A dozen of the sage experts scrambled to capture those treasures. They rushed towards that streamer one after another. However, more than half of those experts hadn't even reached close to that streamer before they had been attacked by the other experts. And, not a single person among them survived this sudden ambush... "Roar!" A roar came from that streamer. The divine light dispersed, and revealed a ferocious demon-beast. Its ominous energy looked dreadful. Then, that beast opened its mouth like a huge sacrificial bowl, and sucked ferociously. A few sage experts in the vicinity started to run quickly. However, they couldn't escape, and got swallowed by that beast. That demon beast's speed was insanely fast. It had killed those unlucky sage experts in an instant. And, a river of blood started to flow in the space as corpses floated everywhere. The demon beast swaggered away after it had killed those experts. "It's too ferocious. This demon beast must be ten times or even hundred times more ferocious than the star-beasts!" someone said in fear. Fortunately, that person hadn't rushed towards the streamer. Otherwise, they would also have met their end like those other people. Many of the remaining experts decided that they wouldn't hurriedly rush up. They would first see what was coming out. Otherwise, they could also come across such a tragedy. They had realized that gambling with their lives wouldn't be enough to capture those heavenly treasures. Those ordinary experts had met with a cruel and bloody end. However, this was how the ordinary experts used to survive. After all, they didn't have an abundance of resources like those heaven's pride experts. So, they had to rely on themselves for everything. "This place is very weird. One has to put their life on stake to fight for a bright future!" Ye Xiwen secretly said. Moreover, this wasn't even the most dangerous time. The most dangerous time would come after they had entered the Great Gas Collar. Ye Xiwen waited for a long time before a streamer finally emerged out. A mighty aura dissipated in the surroundings. It seemed that a demon beast had come out once again. Everyone stopped in their tracks since they didn't wish to throw away their lives. Ye Xiwen concentrated his 'Real Elemental Energy' in his eyes. And, he saw that a golden feather was wrapped up inside that streamer. The 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' had begun to operate automatically inside his body almost immediately after he had seen that feather. "Ye Xiwen, quickly go and grab it. It's a Phoenix Feather!" Ye Mo's voice reverberated inside Ye Xiwen's mind. He didn't wait for Ye Mo to speak further. A pair of wings suddenly opened at his back. He then transformed into a streamer of light, and rushed forward. Some people had been gloating since they had thought that the streamer contained a ferocious beast. However, Ye Xiwen smacked open the streamer, and exposed the Phoenix Feather in front of them. Then, the phoenix feather got sucked into the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. "Stop him. He has obtained a Phoenix Feather!" someone reacted quickly and shouted. A bunch of dreadful and imposing auras rushed towards Ye Xiwen from every direction. These sage experts hadn't held back their imposing auras even a bit. Theirs auras carried incredible power and surrounded Ye Xiwen. A few of those experts were very fast. And, they had arrived in front of Ye Xiwen very quickly. Ye Xiwen sneered as his body began to leak golden divinities. The golden waves looked mighty and enormous. And, his murderous aura looked frightening. "Bang!" A late stage sage expert who was the fastest among them had already arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. However, a big hand fell down from above and grabbed him. The gigantic hand pinched him, and made his body explode. That late stage sage expert had been reduced to a mass of blood fog as a result. Then, the divinities took the form of a giant wave under Ye Xiwen's feet, and surged forward. It seemed as if a star had pounded with an incredible force. The other experts who had rushed towards Ye Xiwen got drowned out by this golden wave. The rest of the experts found Ye Xiwen to be extremely ferocious. They couldn't possibly dare to go after him. After all, it would be akin to courting death. They were certainly wild. However, they weren't idiots. They knew that they didn't have any chance of winning. Ye Xiwen picked up Xiao Ya, turned around, and left. He had felt the divine sense of a Sage Great Perfection level expert sweeping over here. Their aura was getting increasingly close. So, it was evident that a senior expert of Sage Great Perfection realm was coming. Ye Xiwen's current strength was enough to sweep away an expert of Sage Small Perfection Realm. However, he could barely resist a Sage Great Perfection level expert. His speed became extremely fast once the demon wings opened. And, he returned to the Great Gas City in a matter of moments. "This place is in chaos. There are no rules or restrictions. There is only one rule, and that is... strength rules!" Ye Xiwen secretly said. After all, everyone was fighting frantically for their future. "Ye Xiwen, you got very lucky this time. It is clear that this Phoenix Feather is from a pureblood Phoenix. It would be an enormous benefit for your 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' if you were to refine it!" Ye Mo said. This was also why he had told Ye Xiwen to grab it. The Great Gas Collar spouted different kinds of magical items for the entire month. Some people had skyrocketed after they had obtained those treasures. However, the majority of people had died there. They had either died in the mouths of those demon beasts or they had been killed by other experts. Ye Xiwen had moved into action many times in this one month. And, he had also obtained some heavenly treasures. They weren't extremely precious. However, they were very rare. Ye Xiwen hadn't missed any target since he had the assistance of Ye Mo by his side. Moreover, he would never grab the wrong item. However, he had also encountered a very dangerous situation once when he had been tracked down by a senior expert of the Sage Great Perfection Realm. In fact, he had been pursued for a long time before he had finally been able to escape. Ye Xiwen had returned to the Great Gas City from the Great Gas Collar today. The Great Gas City had become even more crowded during these past several days. He had come to know that there was a chamber of commerce in this city. Moreover, it was going to hold an auction very soon. Four big forces resided in the Great Gas City. The City Government governed the entire city, and had been a super force for a long time. However, the other three colossuses — Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce, Heaven Dominating Dojo, and the Sky Moon Sword School — operated under the City Lord. The Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce was the one conducting the auction. They'd conduct such auctions after every monthly vibration of the Great Gas Collar. And, they'd gain people's attention every time. Those experts who had harvested big profits from the Great Gas Collar also wanted to sell some magical items. Those magical items were surely exceptional. However, not all of them were suitable for their own use. Therefore, it was better to sell those magical items in the auction, and get the equivalent amount of Primary Spirit Dans instead of having to safeguard them. After all, they could buy the things that they required with the 'Primary Spirit Dans'. The Great Gas City had become much more crowded than usual at the time of the auction. Many experts had rushed towards the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. However, nobody dared to cause any disturbance at this time. They were rowdy and arrogant. However, they weren't idiots. They obviously knew that the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce was counted among the four big forces of the Great Gas City, and this big force certainly wouldn't sit back and do nothing if someone stirred trouble. A large number of experts who belonged to the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce had been keeping watch outside the Chamber of Commerce. So, there was no way to cause a disturbance even if someone wanted to do so. Ye Xiwen hadn't gotten mixed with the crowd like an average person. Instead, he had gotten hold of a private room. However, he had to make a security deposit of 100 million Primary Spirit Dans for this room. These Primary Spirit Dans would be returned to him after the auction. This was the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce's way of checking whether their client had enough financial resources or not. They didn't care about their client's strength. They only cared about their financial resources. Ye Xiwen didn't mind this. After all, he possessed a huge amount of Primary Spirit Dans if one didn't consider his ceaseless consumption of 'spirit energy'. Moreover, he had obtained tons of Primary Spirit Dans by killing sage experts here. In fact, he had seized a huge amount of Primary Spirit Dans, and the total amount in his stock had surpassed one billion Primary Spirit Dans. Ye Xiwen took Xiao Ya inside the private room after he had paid 100 million Primary Spirit Dans. The room wasn't very big. In fact, it was spread across an area of only a dozen or so square-meters. However, it looked extremely extravagant since it had been decorated magnificently. Some fruits had been arranged on a table. These were spirit fruits which contained spirit energy. An average person would feel refreshed after having eaten these fruits. But, they were also very beneficial for the experts. The time passed second by second, minute by minute. Soon, all the experts who wished to participate in the auction had arrived. Suddenly, a loud uproar came from the outside as a group of experts walked in. They were headed by a young man whose face looked gentle but slightly gloomy. "Gee, what's there in this auction that it has even attracted the attention of Young Master Tian Jian of Sky Moon Sword School?" "Is this the Sky Moon Sword School's Young Master Tian Jian? He is outstanding. Look at his exceptionally calm aura! Perhaps, he has already entered the Sage Great Perfection Realm. It's no wonder that he is being trained by the Sky Moon Sword School to be their next leader. His strength is simply outstanding!" "It is said that the Sky Moon Sword School will be represented by him this time around. He will go to the Great Gas Collar to compete for the top-ten positions!" (To be continued).

After all, the successor of one of its forces has such a cultivation level!" Ye Xiwen secretly became speechless, "Don't tell me these forces have the backing of a Great Sage expert keeping watch?" Ye Xiwen knew that it was easy to find sage experts in these star regions because of the harsh living environment. However, it was very difficult to find Great Sage experts. Generally, only one or two Great Sage experts could be found in a star region. But, it couldn't be compared with the huge number of Great Sage experts in those other worlds. This place also couldn't be compared with a colossus like the True Martial University. Generally, the successors of True Martial University used to be at least at the Sage Great Perfection level. So, there was no comparison whatsoever. Therefore, this force was enough to run rampant in this star region if a senior Great Sage expert was keeping watch. Ye Xiwen was also somewhat worried. That Great Gas Building was still in the centre of the Great Gas Collar. So, everyone's gaze was fixated on the Great Gas Building. After all, it was the main target of the experts who had rushed over here. In fact, the treasures of Great Gas Collar were like the appetizer before the main course. The experts which were the real deal had arrived here for the heritages present inside the Great Gas Building, and the magical items that could appear inside. However, the Great Gas Collar wasn't worth their time. Of course, the target of the majority of experts on the weaker side was merely the heavenly treasures that appeared inside the Great Gas Collar since they couldn't dare to think about obtaining the heritages inside the Great Gas Building. It wasn't clear how many experts had arrived. However, only ten experts could get the permission to enter the Great Gas Building. Obviously, the competition was intense and brutal. So, none of the experts who were below the Sage Great Perfection Realm had ever gotten the permission in the past. Therefore, entering the building was merely a delusional and unrealistic thought for the majority of the people. Ye Xiwen's current strength was enough to defend himself inside the Great Gas Collar. However, it wasn't enough if he wanted to get the permission to enter. Ye Xiwen decided that he would undergo closed-door training once the auction was over so that he could get the permission to enter. The entire Great Gas Collar would vibrate three times more. There was half-a- year left before the Great Gas Collar finished spitting magical items. And, he would have made the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm by then. Therefore, there would be hope of getting the permission to enter the Great Gas Building, and obtaining the heritages. Another group of experts had arrived after the arrival of the Young Master Tian Jian of the Sky Moon Sword School. However, they weren't holding swords like the experts of the Sky Moon Sword School. Instead, each of these experts was holding different kinds of weapons. They were headed by a tall man whose face carried a savage look, and whose eyes looked ice-cold and ruthless. Moreover, his cultivation was as good as that of Young Master Tian Jian. "He is King Tai of the Heaven Dominating Dojo. His aura is very ferocious. He looks like a savage beast. He had merely shot a glance this way, and everyone had still felt as if they were falling down an ice hole. He is extremely frightening!" "Don't you know that King Tai had fallen into a lair of star-beasts in his childhood? He was rescued several years later. However, he had transformed into a beast by then. His bearing is like a savage's. He kills the entire family of anyone who goes against him. He is the chief disciple of Dominating Heavens Dojo…" The man's tone dropped increasingly. It seemed as if he was afraid that King Tai might hear him. The private room had been designed very cleverly since no one could see inside the room from outside. However, one could use their divine sense from inside the room in order to see what was happening outside. Ye Xiwen felt the ferocious aura of King Tai. He had made everyone scared, and nobody had dared to approach him. After all, he looked like a fierce beast. In fact, one would have believed that a fierce beast stood in front of them and not a man if they had closed their eyes and didn't see him. Some other experts had also arrived after the people of these two groups. However, they hadn't been able to cause a sensation like the people of these two groups had. Ye Xiwen fed the spirit fruits to Xiao Ya. He hadn't given her any medicinal pill since he was afraid that it would ruin her foundation. Her foundation was very deep and very pure at the same time. These medicinal pills would ruin her unique innate talent if she used them for increasing her cultivation speed. However, these spirit fruits wouldn't harm her. These fruits were natural, and had been grown on the ground. So, nothing could be better than these fruits. Moreover, Ye Xiwen felt that Xiao Ya wasn't far from making the breakthrough into the Truth Realm. In fact, she would undoubtedly make the breakthrough into the Truth Realm within ten years. However, he couldn't ponder much on this since the auction began very soon. It began with the loud 'thump' sound of a wooden mallet. It seemed that the sharp and clear sound worked as a calming force, and suddenly made the noisy atmosphere tranquil. The Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce was rich and overbearing. Even that wooden mallet was a divine tool. In fact, it was a sage tool that could transform into a weapon at the time of need. Everyone looked toward the middle of the auction stage at this moment. They saw an approximately 20-year-old young woman. She was dressed up in a dark green muslin skirt. Her facial features looked delicate, and her skin was as fair as snow. Her jade-like delicate arms were partly visible under her muslin skirt. They looked like lotuses, and made her look even more attractive. A lot of people whistled like boiling pots when they saw this woman on stage. "We are very lucky this time. Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce's genius Wen Yi Ren is hosting the auction!" "Yeah, I've heard that Wen Yi Ren is a genius in the field of business. Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce used to be one of the many chambers of commerce in the Great Gas Collar in the past. However, it dominates the other chambers of commerce in the Great Gas City now, and it's all due to her great efforts. In fact, it has become a colossal force like the Dominating Heaven Dojo and the Sky Moon Sword School within a short span of three-hundred years!" "She's not just a business-genius. After all, those other businessmen are nothing but money makers. They just know 'give and take'. However, she's also a top cultivator. In fact, it is said that her cultivation is as good as that of King Tai and Young Master Tian Jian. She is counted among Great Gas's Four Heroes, and has many admirers!" Ye Xiwen heard these people's discussion, and understood that this young woman was one of the four heroes of Great Gas. He hadn't spent much time in Great Gas City. However, he had heard about the so-called Great Gas's Four Heroes. All four of these individuals were outstanding. The Eldest Young Master of the City Government was the other hero apart from King Tai, Young Master Tian Jian, and Wen Yi Ren. He was also ranked first among the four heroes of Great Gas. This Eldest Young Master of the City Government wasn't the most popular among the four heroes even though everyone considered him as the leader of the four heroes. He wasn't as popular as Wen Yi Ren. After all, she looked beautiful, her cultivation was on top. Moreover, she had the support of a colossus like the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce behind her. One would soar into the sky if they got married to her. They would make rapid career advancement. However, she was even more difficult to get than the most precious treasures… One could offend anyone in the city… except Wen Yi Ren. "Everyone, I'm extremely grateful to have you all here. I hope everyone can buy whatever they think is important in the following auction!" Wen Yi Ren didn't speak much. However, her charming face made everyone feel as if they had bathed in a spring breeze, and every bit of resentment had been dispelled from their hearts. "Now, we're going to auction today's first item. It's a 'sage level' inner armour. This sage level inner armour is a bit damaged. However, its defensive power is far greater than that of those pseudo-sage tools. So, one would have much more assurance when they would go for the treasure hunt in Great Gas Collar if they had this inner armor!" Wen Yi Ren calmly said. "The starting bid for this sage level inner armor is 70 million Primary Spirit Dans!" This inner armour made all the experts who were sitting below go crazy. After all, many among them wanted to go to the Great Gas Collar. There were semi-sage and sage experts among them. However, it didn't matter what kind of strength they possessed or what their cultivation was. Everyone knew what kind of place the Great Gas Collar was. It was considered as an extremely dangerous place. After all, one could lose their life on the spot if they weren't cautious enough. Therefore, one must increase their strength as much as possible before venturing there. The divine tools were mere accessories. However, they could be regarded as a part of one's strength. Many among these people were still using pseudo-sage tools since the sage tools were rare. And, this was a very rare kind of divine tool. It was certainly a bit damaged. However, countless people would still chase after it like ducks. Two young girls who were clad in revealing attires came up on stage with a metallic tray. These two young girls would have certainly attracted the attention of a lot of people earlier. However, no one paid any attention to them at this time. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the tray that had been covered by a red cloth. That cloth was also a divine tool which had cut off other people's divine senses. Therefore, they couldn't use their divine senses in order to see what was inside it. A snow-white inner armour appeared in front of everyone as Wen Yi Ren lifted the red cloth. This inner armour was faintly emitting sage power. It had unleashed a unique coercion that could be classified as the embodiment of anger. However, one corner of the inner armour was broken. There was a huge hole at that place... It seemed as if it had been drilled with a sharp weapon. [This Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce has brought out a sage tool in the beginning of the auction. Naturally, there is no need to say that they are rich and overbearing. It's well known that many sage experts don't have sage tools, and even some Great Sage experts use pseudo-sage tools. So, it is clear that there is a shortage of sage tools these days. This sage tool is damaged. However, the price of a rare divine tool like this inner armour can't be any less. In fact, it can't be under the price of general sage tools.] Ye Xiwen secretly thought. Then, he swept out his divine sense, and found out that this snow-white inner armour had been made of the skin of a snake-type demon beast. However, he couldn't find out which demon beast it was. This type of inner armor would have attracted his attention in the past. However, his 'Gilded Tyrant Form' itself was the best defence. So, this inner armour would be useless if even his 'tyrant body' wasn't able to resist an attack. Moreover, this inner armour would be even more useless if his tyrant body was able to resist the attack. Therefore, he had always been dismissive about such defence type divine tools. In fact, it would be better to buy some attack type tools instead. However, he looked at Xiao Ya who was beside him. She was much more fragile than him since she was merely an expert of the Xiantian Realm. And, even a slight negligence on his part could cause a huge disaster. So, he opened his mouth and shouted, "75 million!" (To be continued)

35 comments, join in Chapter 540: Competition in the Auction (Part 2)! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "100 million!" a loud shout suddenly overshadowed Ye Xiwen's voice. Ye Xiwen carefully listened. [Isn't this Dominating Heaven Dojo's King Tai?] "Who's spending such a huge amount?" someone asked with unsurely. "Who else can it be other than King Tai? Gee. He is willing to spend this much for Wen Yi Ren!" "What do you mean?" Many people's ears erected suddenly. They had become curious. "You guys are outsiders. Maybe that's why you don't know about this matter. However, who in our Great Gas City doesn't know that King Tai has been courting Wen Yi Ren for ten years now. Moreover, his infatuation with Wen Yi Ren hasn't decreased one bit. He targets the first and last auction items whenever Wen Yi Ren hosts the auction. He must take them. And, it's a dead end for anyone who dares to challenge him!" Ye Xiwen pondered secretly. [It's no wonder that everyone is standing still, and that they haven't shouted the price for a long time.] Initially, he had believed that everyone must be considering chances of profit and loss. After all, it wasn't a good deal to purchase a damaged sage level inner armor for 70 million Primary Spirit Dans. However, it had also occurred to him that different people should have had different views. A sage tool would cost approximately 100 million Primary Spirit Dans. In fact, a good quality sage tool might even get sold for 200- 300 million Primary Spirit Dans. However, it would get sold for that much only… and not more than that. So, a sage level inner armor would cost approximately 200 million. This inner armour's starting bid was 70 million. However, it could clearly be seen that it was seriously damaged. So, some discount must be given on its price. In fact, it would be better to purchase a new one than having to repair it. Moreover, it must also be considered whether one has an urgent requirement of this divine tool or not. "You're buying this inner armour for the girl?" Ye Mo's voice reverberated inside Ye Xiwen's mind. "Yes!" Ye Xiwen nodded. "I don't need it since I have 'Tyrant Body'. 'Tyrant Body' is stronger than anything else. However, she is not that strong. So, she might have to suffer disastrous consequences if she's not prepared for the upcoming battles!" "But, it's broken. Are you planning to buy some materials to patch it as well?" Ye Mo asked. Ye Xiwen nodded. His level of refining tools wasn't even close to that of those real great masters who used to refine tools. However, his skill couldn't be compared with an average person either. So, mending an inner- armour wasn't an issue for him. "Yes! I'll buy some materials in the auction!" Ye Xiwen replied. He possessed a large number of heavenly treasures. However, most of them were raw materials for alchemy. So, he had very few materials for refining tools. "Gentlemen and friends, let me have this inner armour. I want it!" King Tai's voice was loud and clear like the sound of a big bell. However, his polite words had a strong hint of pressure. In fact, the threatening intention was very profound. "105 million!" Ye Xiwen shouted softly. His voice sounded very clear in this quiet auction site. Everyone was left dumbstruck by this. [Who is this audacious person? He has dared to compete against a person like King Tai. Does he have a death wish?] King Tai frowned inside his private room. He hadn't met such a daring person for a long time; after all, everyone respected him since he enjoyed a very high status. So, it didn't even matter what his strength was. Who would dare to ignore the chief disciple of the Dominating Heaven Dojo? "110 million!" King Tai shouted once again. This amount was more than enough for a damaged inner-armour. So, he became a bit distressed, and an ominous light flickered in his eyes. King Tai didn't know who this stranger was. So, he couldn't even look down on him. However, this price had made him somewhat distressed. A sage tool would approximately cost 100 million Primary Spirit Dans. And, there were many sage experts who had never possessed a sage tool. So, one could imagine what the real worth of these 100 million Primary Spirit Dans was. In fact, there had been many sage experts who hadn't been able gather this much money in their entire lifetime. It hadn't been very easy to gather so much wealth even for King Tai. And, he wouldn't have spent such a huge amount of money, and suffered such a heavy loss if he didn't want to impress Wen Yi Ren. "110 million, one!" Wen Yi Ren revealed a pleasant smile on her face. It was a good thing for the Chamber of Commerce that people were competing to buy this commodity. She had been afraid that nobody would compete for it. She knew that King Tai came every time she hosted the auction in order to impress her. However, she wanted someone to dare and compete against him. "110 million, two!" "115 million!" Ye Xiwen suddenly shouted from his private room when everyone had been thinking that he had given up. "Ohh!" Suddenly, everyone went into an uproar. Ye Xiwen's act had been unconscious in the beginning. However, what about now…? It had to be intentional this time! It was evident that he didn't give importance to King Tai. "Who is this man? Do you know this man? He's very bold. He isn't giving face to King Tai!" someone said in disbelief. "Does he have a death wish? King Tai has an ominous reputation. He can kill anyone who dares to disobey him. This man is safe inside the territory of Great Gas' Chamber of Commerce right now. However, it will be very difficult for this man to get out of Great Gas City alive!" "He is very courageous. However, unfortunately he isn't far from his death!" No one was optimistic about Ye Xiwen. They didn't think that he could escape from King Tai's hands. Ye Xiwen was following the path of his doom in their opinion. "130 million!" King Tai exclaimed in a loud voice. The speed of response was very quick. He didn't fall below Ye Xiwen. "Go and find which man is daring to snatch my stuff? He is courting death!" King Tai ordered one of his aides. His complexion had turned fierce. "I won't let him live. I'll kill him, and then use his heart and liver to prepare a meal!" An ordinary person would have gotten scared to death if they had heard King Tai's vicious words. However, the countenances' of the experts by his side didn't change. It was clear that they had seen King Tai's barbaric attitude many times in the past. "Yes, Young Lord!" a weak looking expert answered. He then opened the door, and went out. Ye Xiwen didn't know what was happening in King Tai's private room. However, he wouldn't have cared even if he had known. He didn't need to worry. After all, he could escape even if a Great Sage expert confronted him. And, he could kill anyone as long as they weren't a Great Sage expert. Of course, he could do so only with the aid of the blood slave since it controlled a star colossus. "135 million!" Ye Xiwen shouted. His voice seemed direct and effective. It didn't show any signs of weakness either. However, he had become worried since his limit was 150 million. He wouldn't be able to continue if the bid surpassed this amount. After all, he wanted to get a good deal out of this auction. Otherwise, it would be better to go and buy a new inner armour instead of spending this much money on a damaged one. King Tai wanted to impress Wen Yi Ren. However, Ye Xiwen neither had such a desire nor was he a foolish spendthrift. Moreover, Primary Spirit Dans had flown out of his hand like running water because of his mysterious space. Many sage experts might not have earned the amount of money that he had already spent. However, he didn't have any regrets about doing so since it was something he should have spent his money on. He had spent his money on himself. But, that didn't mean that he was a spendthrift. "Good, very good!" King Tai smirked. He smiled through his anger. He had been famous for many years. And, nobody had ever dared to disregard him like this! A look which was as fierce as a beast's appeared in his eyes when he smiled. "He's very bold. However, I can't let him walk away from this city alive!" King Tai smiled instead of being angry. "I will let him have it if he wants it so badly. However, I've sent someone to keep watch. So, I'm not giving up yet. I want everyone to see the end of this person who has dared to disobey me!" King Tai hadn't become hostile and killed Ye Xiwen on the spot because it was Wen Yi Ren's territory. However, this didn't mean that he would let go of a guy who had dared to go against him. King Tai didn't continue to compete with Ye Xiwen, and this was against everyone's expectations. After all, he had given up on the face of it. However, those who were familiar with King Tai's nature knew that he would take his revenge after the auction. "King Tai isn't speaking-up. Are the legends about him false?" "They're not false. That boy is done for. He shouldn't have dared to compete with King Tai in this manner. After all, King Tai is always ready when it comes to killing people and robbing their possessions!" someone who was very familiar with King Tai smiled disdainfully and said. Many people had found this whole incident of someone opposing King Tai very entertaining. However, that was only until the end of the auction. This incident would stop mattering rather quickly for everyone else apart from Ye Xiwen. Many other items appeared one by one after Ye Xiwen had obtained the inner-armour. Medicinal pills, divine tools, demon beast's inner cores, and even demon beast's eggs were sold in the auction. Basically, there were all kinds of extraordinary things. These things could rarely be seen on ordinary days. One could buy these things outside of this auction, but they would face great difficulty in doing so. Moreover, some of these things could only be purchased in such auctions. Those things streamed out like running water, and were quickly sold. There were also various types of materials for refining tools. The auction finally came to an end after it had continued for an entire day. Ye Xiwen had also purchased many rare and precious raw materials, spirit fruits, and so on in this auction. He had spent over 50 million Primary Spirit Dans on these things. It could be said that he had also made a good harvest. "The next and last item of this auction is 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'. This grass can heal the injuries sustained by the soul, and raise it to higher level. It is a top grade medicinal herb. And, its base price is 100 million!" Wen Yi Ren explained. Everyone held their breath. A mere medicinal herb was getting sold at the price of a sage tool. Moreover, this was only its base price. It wasn't clear what price it would be sold at if its price continued to increase during the auction. A person's soul sustained injuries in a fight only on rare occasions. However, it would be troublesome if that were to happen. The wounds on the body could be cured quite easily. After all, there were thousands of treatments for it. However, the ordinary methods couldn't be used for curing injuries sustained by the soul. The treatment scope of Ye Xiwen's 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' would extend from curing just physical injuries to curing soul injuries once he'd advance a step further. However, there was no way to cure soul injuries as per Ye Xiwen's current level of 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique'. Otherwise, he would have already treated Ye Mo who had exhausted the primary essence of his own soul, and had fallen into a deep sleep slumber. However, a medicinal herb had appeared that could heal souls. A bright light flashed in Ye Xiwen's eyes. [I must obtain it irrespective of the price that I must pay.] (To be continued).

36 comments, join in Chapter 541: Competition in the Auction (Part 3)! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Mo had recovered more than half-way till now. However, he hadn't recovered completely. But, he would recover very quickly if he got this 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'. And, Ye Xiwen would get a strong assistance when that would happen. The ordinary experts who sat downstairs were whispering. However, not many of them could dare to open their mouths to place a bid. After all, the base price of this commodity was 100 million. So, they couldn't participate in this auction since they didn't have a lot of Primary Spirit Dans. In fact, a lot of experts couldn't collect this much wealth in their entire lifetime. Moreover, it would have been worthwhile to spend this much money if it were a sage tool. However, spending such a huge amount of money for 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass' wasn't such a good idea since it wasn't even certain whether it would ever come to use. Those ordinary experts looked toward those private rooms located on the second floor. Only those rich people who occupied those private rooms could afford this kind of price right now. "150 million!" the first one to make a bid was King Tai. This was obviously expected. Everyone believed that he would snatch away the first and last commodities as long as Wen Yi Ren hosted an auction. After all, he had the support of a colossus like Dominating Heaven Dojo behind him. An ordinary person couldn't quote such a large price. However, Wen Yi Ren never hosted an ordinary auction. So, King Tai didn't get many such opportunities. Many people held their breaths as they heard this bid. King Tai was the chief disciple of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. So, he didn't care about wasting Primary Spirit Dans. He had increased the price by 50% in one fell swoop. "I want this 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'!" King Tai stated. His voice sounded ice-cold and a bit hoarse. It seemed as if a beast was proclaiming dominance in its territory. Moreover, there was a strong sense of threat in his tone. "200 million! Pardon me, but I also want to have some fun. I want this 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'!" a chilly voice came from a private room at this time. "Isn't this Sky Moon Sword School's Young Master Tian Jian? Why does he want to take part in this game? Does he want to compete with King Tai?" Somebody soon found out that this voice belonged to Young Master Tian Jian. Young Master Tian Jian was one of the four heroes of the Great Gas City. Many people became excited as a result. They had enjoyed watching Ye Xiwen and King Tai competing with each other a while back. But, Young Master Tian Jian's bid had made them even more excited. A contest that involved two of the four heroes would always attract people's attention the most, and would become a hot topic for discussion. After all, these four heroes were the future leaders of the four forces of the Great Gas City. "210 million!" King Tai clenched his teeth and said. 200 million Primary Spirit Dans had already surpassed the genuine price of the 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'. Moreover, King Tai couldn't spend money so extravagantly even if he was the chief disciple of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. An ominous light flickered in his eyes, and he secretly became furious. The first item had been taken by someone else. And now, he had to compete for the last one too! "220 million!" Young Master Tian Jian shouted. Both of them had clearly become careful after the price had increased to 200 million. So, they weren't raising the bid by a large amount anymore. "Bastard!" King Tai had become very angry. The Young Master Tian Jian wanted to oppose him today. Wen Yi Ren was the only woman among the four heroes of the Great Gas City. And, she didn't have any conflict with the others. The City Government's Eldest Young Master remained aloof from the other three heroes. So, only these two men had a conflict with each other among the four heroes. They would obstruct each other's path whenever they got the opportunity. King Tai hadn't made his bid when a loud and clear voice sounded, "250 million!" King Tai instantly recognized this voice. [Isn't this the same guy who competed for the first item with me?] Ye Xiwen had placed several bids so far, but he had been very low-key. So, King Tai had almost forgotten about Ye Xiwen after Young Master Tian Jian's bid. He had also forgotten about teaching Ye Xiwen a lesson. However, Ye Xiwen had dared to challenge him again now. Therefore, King Tai's believed that Ye Xiwen was courting death this time. Everyone was left dumbstruck. Someone had dared to interfere in these two men's contest. They too had obviously recognized this voice. [Isn't this the same guy who had competed for the first item?] Everyone had become excited, and it seemed as if a boiler had suddenly exploded. Moreover, the price had increased to 250 million. So, it was clear that this mysterious person was as wealthy as the other two contenders. Ye Xiwen had spent more than 200 million already. And, he had quoted 250 million this time. So, he had at least 450 – 500 million Primary Spirit Dans. Some people gasped after they made this calculation. Only the top experts of sage realm, or the ones who had entered the Great Sage realm could possess a wealth of 450 million. In fact, this figure was enough to be the net worth of a Great Sage expert. Young Master Tian Jian's and King Tai's confidence had stemmed from the forces that backed them. They had spent millions once or twice because of this backing. But, what was the background of this man? Could he also be a disciple of some super- force? This was also a possibility. The Great Gas Collar was about to open. So, experts from all parts of the River Shore Star Field had arrived here. Some experts of neighbouring star regions had also arrived. So, it couldn't be considered strange if a disciple of some super-force had also arrived. In fact, everything would make sense if it was so. Of course, they didn't know that Ye Xiwen was alone. Otherwise, they would've gotten scared to death. There were never enough Primary Spirit Dans for Ye Xiwen. He would soon use up whatever he had earned. The mysterious space was like a mega beast. It would soon swallow his entire wealth like a bottomless pit. However, he couldn't separate it from himself! True Martial University had much more resources as compared to these forces of the Great Gas City. However, Ye Xiwen's current status in the True Martial University wasn't on the same level as that of these people in their respective forces. Naturally, he couldn't freely spend the entire force's resources like them. "That's intriguing!" Young Master Tian Jian slightly raised the corner of his mouth inside his private room. He had begun to take some interest in this man who had interfered in his contest with King Tai. After all, such a man could either be a big idiot, or have some serious backing. He preferred to believe the latter. After all, how could an idiot possess so much wealth? Such a person would have already been robbed by someone in this world full of powerful people. "260 million!" King Tai quoted his renewed price. However, everyone could tell that he was extreme enraged. Blood dripped in his heart. 260 million Primary Spirit Dans was an astronomical figure. However, he had no choice but to quote this price since he didn't wish to lose face in front of Wen Yi Ren. "300 million!" Ye Xiwen stated without batting an eye. This 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass' was extremely important for Ye Mo's recovery. So, he had to get it even if he had to spend the entire amount of Primary Spirit Dans that he had in his stock. Ye Xiwen had given many sage tools to Ye Mo to swallow. The total cost of those sage tools surpassed 2 billion Primary Spirit Dans. So, he obviously wouldn't regret spending a few million more. It could be said that he was always short of money. So, he had always faced the shortage of Primary Spirit Dans during his cultivation. However, it must also be said that he was rich when there was a need to be. He could spend as much money as was required if he considered the cause to be important. Ye Xiwen's bid blew everyone away. This person had to be a rich lord. The other bidders were also considered rich. But, they were increasing the price by ten million at a time. However, this man was increasing the price by fifty million at a time. It seemed that this person had recently acquired a lot of wealth, and that money wasn't money for him… it seemed as if it was merely a pile of papers. Even Wen Yi Ren was astonished by Ye Xiwen's bid. She had been hosting auctions for many years now. So, it wasn't that she hadn't seen a lot of 'rich men'. However, she had seen such an extremely extravagant rich man for the first time. "Everyone wants it so desperately. So, I must behave like a gentleman, and I mustn't snatch what they want. I withdraw!" Young Master Tian Jian spoke-up in a nonchalant manner. "Damn it! This guy was only messing with me!" King Tai was secretly tensed. Young Master Tian Jian was only messing with him. After all, he knew that King Tai wouldn't want to lose face in front of Wen Yi Ren. Therefore, he had forced him to bleed a huge amount of money. "310 million!" King Tai almost roared this time. "Bastard, bastard! I must kill him. He has forced me to spend so much money!" the sound of King Tai's roar reverberated inside his private room. Many of his subordinates hid far from him. They didn't dare to come near him. It would certainly be disastrous if his wrath fell upon them. A feeling of intense hate for Ye Xiwen and Young Master Tian Jian had surged inside King Tai's heart at this time! "350 million!" Ye Xiwen spoke up. However, his voice was calm. There was no hint of hesitation in it... as if this price was practically nothing for him. He could have spent his entire wealth for Ye Mo's recovery. However, he didn't want to behave like a local tyrant. This King Tai wanted to buy this last item of the auction at all cost because he wanted to act as a very wealthy person in front of Wen Yi Ren. Perhaps, he would have trailed after Ye Xiwen's bids unceasingly if Ye Xiwen had increased the bid by ten million at a time. And then, Ye Xiwen might have had to pay a lot more. Therefore, Ye Xiwen believed that he could force King Tai to quit only by acting as a rich person. In fact, King Tai would have continued to compete if Ye Xiwen had acted timidly. King Tai's complexion had turned a deep shade of red. [Bastard, I will crush you along with your wealth.] King Tai used to crush his competitors using his wealth. However, he- himself had been made speechless by someone who had used the power of money. This had happened to him for the first time in his life. King Tai didn't have any choice but to quit since he only had 300 million Primary Spirit Dans; and that too after adding the Primary Spirit Dans of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. In fact, he wouldn't have been able to increase the bid so crazily without the Dominating Heaven Dojo's backing. He had been distressed at first because the price of the last item had become too high. Therefore, he would've had to spend a large amount of Primary Spirit Dans to buy the item. However, he had become even more distressed now. And, that was because he couldn't increase the price anymore. So, he felt that he had lost face in front of Wen Yi Ren. And, he hated Ye Xiwen even more because of this. Ye Xiwen had stunned everyone. A lot of people had started to speculate about his identity. [Where has this local tyrant arrived from? He is so wealthy that he is throwing away money recklessly.] They wouldn't have been left dumbstruck if Ye Xiwen had increased the price by ten million at a time. However, he had increased the bid by a large amount every time. This had blown everyone away. King Tai didn't raise the bid any further, and this last item smoothly fell into Ye Xiwen's lap. The auction had finally come to an end. However, numerous experts were still excited. After all, they had thought that King Tai or Young Master Tian Jian would play the leading role in this auction. However, they hadn't expected that someone would appear in the middle of their contest, and would snatch away the limelight. Ye Xiwen quietly went backstage along with Xiao Ya while everyone was still discussing spiritedly. After all, he wanted to receive the things that he had bought in the auction. (To be continued)

15 comments, join in Chapter 542: Closed-door Practice Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Xiwen arrived at the backside of the room. He was surprised to see the silhouette of a familiar person. That person was none other than Yan Yun Ting. She was chatting nonstop with Wen Yi Ren. "Sister Wen, I have arrived in order to ask you whether you have any information about the Green Scaled Fruit." Yan Yun Ting asked. "We have already been paying attention to this matter. We will surely hand over the Green Scaled Fruit to you once we find it!" Wen Yi Ren replied. Ye Xiwen saw both of them talking and laughing. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other. However, he hadn't expected that. After all, Wen Yi Ren and Yan Yun Ting didn't share the same social status. "Young Master Ye!" Yan Yun Ting became happy the moment she saw that Ye Xiwen there as well. And, she became even more excited when she saw that Xiao Ya had also come. Xiao Ya didn't appear to be intimately acquainted with her. But, that hadn't hindered her fondness for Xiao Ya. In fact, she became excited every time she looked at Xiao Ya. "I didn't expect to see you here!" Ye Xiwen was very surprised. However, he was even more surprised to see the relationship between Yan Yun Ting and Wen Yi Ren. "How has Villa Lord Yan allowed you come alone?!" Ye Xiwen asked. He hadn't expected that Yan Hong Yi would send his daughter instead of coming by himself. "My daddy hasn't recovered from his injuries yet. Even my mother is unwell. So, it's just me in the end!" Yan Yun Ting let out a chuckle. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of Ye Xiwen, and he raised his head to see who it was. It was Wen Yi Ren. "So, you are that Young Master Ye Yan Yun Ting had mentioned about!" Wen Yi Ren lightly stepped forward. Then, she let out a smile and said. Ye Xiwen shot a glance at Yan Yun Ting. He didn't know what capacity he had been introduced to Wen Yi Ren in. "Yes. It's nice to meet you, Lady Wen!" Ye Xiwen cupped his hands in obeisance and replied. "Young Master Ye is outstanding. Even King Tai suffered a loss at your hands!" Wen Yi Ren slightly smiled and said. She possessed a peculiar charm. "It wasn't my intention to compete with him. I needed those things!" Ye Xiwen lightly replied. King Tai believed that Ye Xiwen had made him lose face. However, Ye Xiwen didn't care about that since he hadn't opposed King Tai on purpose. Wen Yi Ren's wonderful pair of eyes scanned Ye Xiwen's body. Then, she chuckled and said, "King Tai isn't a nice person. He may come after you. You can seek help from our Chamber of Commerce in case you need it. After all, this matter has started in our Chamber of Commerce!" Wen Yi Ren said. She knew how King Tai's attitude was. So, she warned Ye Xiwen… as well as offered her assistance in the matter. Ye Xiwen was somewhat surprised by this. King Tai had an infatuation for Wen Yi Ren. However, Wen Yi Ren didn't seem to have a very good opinion of him. "There will be no need for that. I only wish to take away the items that I've bought. However, I would like to borrow a place in your Chamber of Commerce for closed-door training!" Ye Xiwen said. He had decided that he would carry out closed-door training to make the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm once the auction had ended. "It's not a problem. I will ask someone to make arrangements for you!" Wen Yi Ren nodded. This matter was nothing for her. Ye Xiwen had spent millions of Primary Spirit Dans in their Chamber of Commerce. So, this matter was nothing compared to what he had done. However, she was still looking at him. She had maintained a smiling expression at the corner of her mouth this whole time. [He has spent so much. Undoubtedly, he must be thinking of having a bit of protection from the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. He's not an idiot. He must know that he has offended King Tai very much.] Ye Xiwen wasn't afraid of King Tai. However, he needed time until he had made the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm. He wouldn't have to be afraid of King Tai at that time even if he didn't use the star colossus. "Boy, I've finally found you. Now, you must accept your death like an obedient kid!" a coarse and wild roar came from not far way. A group of people arrived from around the corner. They were headed by King Tai. Ye Xiwen saw King Tai's tall figure. His coarse and wild aura resembled that of a beast. His pair of red eyes was glaring at Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt that a dangerous divine sense had locked upon him. It was like a warning sign before a beast throws itself towards its prey. "It's such a wonderful coincidence that Lady Wen is also present here!" King Tai's gaze fell on Wen Yi Ren who was beside Ye Xiwen. So, he restrained his murderous aura, and a smile appeared on his face. But, it seemed as if a beast was smiling. It looked bizarre. "I don't know why Young Master King has arrived here. Have you arrived here to collect the items that you've bought in the auction? Don't worry. Our people will deliver it at the Dominating Heaven Dojo!" Wen Yi Ren let out an engaging smile as she spoke to this well-known old friend of hers. A fierce look appeared on King Tai's face as he heard this. He then said, "Wen Yi Ren, I think you know of my temperament and habit. No one can save the person whom I wish to kill. This boy is going to die!" Wen Yi Ren knew this very well. However, she couldn't let King Tai prevail. After all, the reputation of their Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce would get ruined if a person had to face retaliation for having purchased some things from their auction. In fact, no one would dare to buy anything from their Chamber of Commerce if such news spread in the city. "I'm sorry. But, this is our Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure that you're familiar with the rules of our Chamber of Commerce. No one can touch our guests inside our territory!" the smile vanished from Wen Yi Ren's face as she coldly replied. King Tai's complexion turned ashen. He hadn't expected that Wen Yi Ren would come out in Ye Xiwen's protection. He started to burn with rage because of this. Was their hundred years old friendship inferior to this boy who had come from god knows where? He took a few steps while looking at Ye Xiwen. However, he was surprised to see that Ye Xiwen merely stood at his place with a seemingly unaffected attitude. In fact, he didn't give King Tai any attention whatsoever. He had only created a ring of Real Elemental Energy around Xiao Ya for her protection. And, he had isolated her from King Tai's gaze in this way. A gaze could also kill a person. This wasn't a fable for the real powerhouses. "Good, very good! You are merely an insignificant expert of the intermediate stage of sage realm. And, you have still dared to oppose me. So, you're very ambitious, and have the courage of a leopard. However, your days are numbered. Hide if you want to hide. But, you won't be able to do so for long. You'll be safe only if you never step out of the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, you'll die!" King Tai's complexion had turned dark. King Tai's beastly aura surged overwhelmingly as it rolled towards Ye Xiwen. It was enough to crush the imposing aura of an average sage expert of the intermediate stage of sage realm. However, Ye Xiwen stood calmly... as if King Tai's beastly aura hadn't affected him. King Tai had to restrain his aura in the end. After all, Wen Yi Ren was present there, and this place was the territory of Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. So, he must not act presumptuously. However, he shot a firm glance at Ye Xiwen. Then, he turned around and left. "This uncle is so ferocious!" Xiao Ya grabbed the corner of the lower hem of Ye Xiwen's jacket, and said. "He looks like a mad dog fighting for food on the street!" Xiao Ya had said these words very innocently. After all, children's words carry no harm. However, Ye Xiwen started to laugh loudly. King Tai hadn't gone far when he abruptly came to a stop. However, he didn't take a step further for a while. [Mad dog fighting for food on the street…] King Tai's dark face burst with rage as he walked away from the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce along with the Dominating Heaven Dojo's. However, he had vowed that he would kill this boy of unknown origin in a brutal manner. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Ye Xiwen laughed wildly while holding his stomach. Xiao Ya's single sentence had made the impact of a thousand sentences. Xiao Ya had spoken innocently. However, it was the most appropriate remark one could have made. "Young Master Ye, I wanted to mediate between you and him. However, it seems that I've failed. King Tai won't forget this matter very easily!" Wen Yi Ren said. She looked a bit worried. "I will crush him to death if he dares to cause trouble!" Ye Xiwen replied indifferently. It seemed as if he was talking about a flea that he would crush to death. A look of surprise appeared on Wen Yi Ren's face when she heard this. [I'll crush him to death if he dares to cause trouble. Who would dare to speak such words about an extremely powerful person like King Tai?] [He has dared to say such a thing even though he knows about King Tai's status and power. And, he doesn't seem to be foolish either. So, he must have some solid backing.] She didn't believe that Ye Xiwen was a stupid person. That meant that he certainly had some strong backing. [What is his background?] Wen Yi Ren was also slightly amazed. However, she didn't say much since it looked like Ye Xiwen had planned everything in advance. Anyway, he was not in danger as long as he was in the Chamber of Commerce. Ye Xiwen soon completed all the formalities. And, he got the things that he had bought after he handed over the Primary Spirit Dans. "Ye Mo, you should recover quickly with this 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'!" Ye Xiwen's heart had been unburdened greatly after he had finally obtained the 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'. It was the most precious item for him among all the things that he had bought. He would have a powerful assistance once Ye Mo had recovered. So, he would have much more assurance if he left for the Great Gas Collar after that. He hadn't spent 400 million in a blind frenzy. The amount of money which ordinary sage experts couldn't earn in their entire lifetimes had been spent by him without thinking too much. So, he had probably come across as a spendthrift who wanted to become a local tyrant. And, Wen Yi Ren had perhaps come out for his protection because of this reason. "Haha, I can finally get rid of this half-dead and half-alive state!" Ye Mo laughed and said. "However, you must be careful. King Tai isn't the friendly kind. He must be scheming against you, and can attack you anytime and anywhere!" "I know. However, my strength will increase significantly after I've made the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm. At that time, I'll be able to urge the Heavenly Source Mirror to thoroughly transform the soul of star colossus into the blood slave. Then, the star colossus's body will exhibit even more might. Sooner or later, it will make the breakthrough into the Great Sage realm as well. And, I will be able to travel anywhere in this big world when that happens!" Ye Xiwen said. He was certainly aware of King Tai's threat. However, he would follow his own plan for now. "Then, I will crush King Tai to death if he dares to cause trouble!" Ye Xiwen stated in a cold voice. Wen Yi Ren didn't make Ye Xiwen wait for a long time. Soon, she had a secret chamber tidied up for Ye Xiwen's closed-door training. This hadn't been a difficult thing for her due to the influence of Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. Ye Xiwen placed Xiao Ya inside the Heavenly Source Mirror in order to prepare against contingencies. Then, he laid out layers of barrier formations inside the secret chamber. This would buy him enough time to wake up in case something happened. This represented the so-called saying 'don't do harm to others, but don't allow others to do harm to you either'. After all, he hadn't been familiar with the Chamber of Commerce to a great extent. Ye Xiwen sat down on a mat, and began the 'closed-door training' after he had made all the preparations.

39 comments, join in Chapter 543: Enters the Late Stage of Sage Realm! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Xiwen sat cross-legged on the mat. The Enlightening Mind Ancient tree had fully flexed itself. And, the divine rays that hung down from the tree had completely shrouded him. So many years had passed, but the Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree had grown barely a few inches. It was hard to say how much time it would take for it to grow to the level mentioned in the fables. Ye Xiwen's chaotic and distracting thoughts had gotten suppressed since he was shrouded by the divine rays of the Enlightening Mind Ancient Tree. So, his mind had become clear and calm now. The Observing Person Scripture had begun to operate crazily within his body. The star power had started to boil inside his universe. His universe looked like an ocean full of stars at the moment. The Real Elemental Energy flowed through his entire body. It could be said that Ye Xiwen's foundation was extremely profound. Many of the experts who had been cultivating for several hundred years did not have a foundation as profound as his'. He might not have been able to break the norms and challenge experts that were several stages higher than him if his foundation hadn't been so profound. Therefore, he wasn't worried at present. It seemed that things would naturally take their course. The Primary Spirit Dans were burning unceasingly inside the Heavenly Source Mirror. After that, they were gradually transforming into a long stream of 'spirit energies' and were channelling inside his body. He was absorbing these spirit energies, transforming them into Real Elemental Energy, and then attacking the barrier of the late stage of sage realm using this Real Elemental Energy. He put his whole effort and didn't hold back even a bit. The Observing Person Scripture was working at a crazy speed. It didn't stop even for a moment. The small Universe was also frantically spinning inside his body. Those spirit energies derived from burning the Primary Spirit Dans were issuing buzzing sounds, and were gradually being absorbed by him. This seemingly endless supply of 'spirit energies' was a big aid for Ye Xiwen. He didn't even need to convert them into a suitable form of energy for absorption. He needed the support of these 'spirit energies' if he wanted his small Universe to expand and grow bigger. The 'spirit energies' gradually entered his small Universe. Consequently, the small Universe inside his body began to expand inch by inch. The solar system inside his body had fully taken shape. Moreover, it would improve every time he made a breakthrough. So, it would obviously improve by leaps and bounds when he'd make the breakthrough into the Great Sage Realm. His Real Elemental Energy gradually advanced towards the barrier of the late stage of sage realm under the shower of the 'spirit energies'. Earlier, it had been difficult to advance towards the barrier. However, it had suddenly become a lot easier due to the support of the spirit energies. It seemed that an endless flood of spirit energies had broken out of a dam. A page of the Ancient Scripture was emanating dazzling divine rays above Ye Xiwen's head. It seemed as if an ancient voice had been reading aloud these scripture since forever. Meanwhile, Ye Xiwen was trying to gradually break through the shackles, and advance in a stronger direction. Time passed day by day. And, two months had come to pass soon enough. An increasing number of people had arrived in the Great Gas City as the time for opening of Great Gas Collar was getting increasingly close. So, the Great Gas City had become even more lively and crowded. The Great Gas Collar had spouted an increasing number of divine treasures with the seventh, eighth, and ninth vibrations. And, an increasing number of rumours about Great Gas Collar had also started to circulate. A large number of experts had arrived inside the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce as the time for the opening of Great Gas Collar was very close. Ye Xiwen also knew of these developments. He was submerged in the closed-door training. However, he had left a part of his soul outside for keeping watch on the affairs. Therefore, he knew of everything that was happening outside. Half-a-year's time seemed to have passed within the blink of an eye. Ye Xiwen had been inside the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce for more than half-a-year. ~~In a room inside the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce~~ "Young Master Ye has been undergoing closed-door training for more than half-a-year. Why hasn't he come out yet?" Yan Yun Ting said somewhat anxiously. "The Great Gas Collar will open soon. It would be very difficult for him to reach the Great Gas Collar in time if it continues like this!" "You need to be patient. It's useless to worry. There is no problem even if he goes there a bit late as I will also go to Great Gas Collar this time in order to get the Green Scaled fruit for your mother's treatment. I will certainly help you in finding it!" Wen Yi Ren comforted Yan Yun Ting. She wasn't worried about when Ye Xiwen would come out. "Thanks, Elder Sister Wen!" Yan Yun Ting relaxed a bit. Suddenly, it seemed as if the entire world was left to shake. An Earth-shattering sound came from afar, and shook the entire space. The atmosphere in the vicinity of the Great Gas Collar had agitated. All the experts were stunned. "The Great Gas Collar has opened!" "The ninth vibration is over. Haha. One year! I've been waiting for this for one year. Finally, this Great Gas Collar has opened now!" The experts in the Great Gas City had become very excited. Countless experts transformed into streamers of light, and flew towards the Great Gas Collar. "Elder Sister Wen, what should we do now? It has opened!" Yan Yun Ting asked somewhat anxiously. She had known that it was about to open soon. That was why she had been worried, and couldn't wait for Ye Xiwen to come out. "There's no need to wait for him. I will ask someone to deliver a message to him. We must be the first ones to reach there. We can't fall behind the others!" Yan Yung Ting decisively said. "I don't know when he will come out of the closed-door training. But, we don't have much time!" "Alright!" Ye Xiwen had also felt that fierce vibration inside the secret underground chamber. He realized that the Great Gas Collar must have opened. However, he couldn't afford to get distracted right now. After all, the small sun at the centre of his universe was becoming increasingly hot. This wasn't the real sun. Rather, the true power of sun in his small universe had barely condensed inside his body as of yet. Basically, this was the representation of the light sources inside his body. And, it was the point of origin of all power sources in his universe. Ye Xiwen had arrived at a crucial moment. He had been attacking the barrier for more than half-a-year. So, it had become very thin. And, he was only one strike away from breaking the barrier, and entering the late stage of sage realm now… He had burnt more than 300 million Primary Spirit Dans in this half-a-year's time. Every strike on the barrier had consumed more than 10 million Primary Spirit Dans. Other people would be shocked to the core if they came to know about this. In fact, they would rain curses on him for being such a spendthrift. He had attacked the barrier at least 30 times in the past six months. However, it hadn't broken. His foundation was extremely strong. So, the barrier was also very strong. In fact, it was hundred times stronger than that of an ordinary person. A lot of power was needed for each of his strikes on the barrier. Therefore, a huge amount of Primary Spirit Dans had been burning nonstop in order to provide him that unceasing supply of energy. He had used up a huge amount of Primary Spirit Dans. However, he had become habituated to this. His wealth came quickly, and also went quickly. But, this price was nothing if he could enhance his strength. However, Ye Xiwen would never give up his profound foundation to decrease the problems in making a breakthrough. "Haa!" Ye Xiwen exhaled a breath. Those energies had been condensed into a picture; a star chart to be precise. And, it seemed that a world itself had been condensed out of nowhere during this breath... as if done by a legendary god from the fables. If he said there is light — then there is light! Ye Xiwen inhaled one breath, and absorbed the entire star chart. Then, he spouted it. Then, he inhaled it once again, and spat it out again. He repeated this process a number of times. It became bigger and better every time Ye Xiwen inhaled it and spat it out. "Bang!" An imposing aura suddenly burst out of Ye Xiwen's body. It was ten times more potent than his aura from before. Ye Xiwen felt that his entire power had surged out in full swing. He had finally entered the late stage of sage realm! This feeling was indescribable. He felt that he could blow away a senior expert of Sage Great Perfection Realm with a single fist attack now. The Real Elemental Energy had flooded his body, and had finally overcome the obstacles. It had broken the barrier of the late stage of sage realm! Ye Xiwen's aura broke through the barrier formation, and rushed towards the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. He felt several tyrannical divine senses sweeping over there. They also swept over his body. However, a scarlet light suddenly surged out from inside his body, and shrouded him. The Heavenly Source Mirror had automatically protected its owner… Those divine senses swept over his body, but left one after another. One of those divine senses was that of a person whom Wen Yi Ren had asked to pass on the message to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen knew that Wen Yi Ren would have rushed to the Great Gas Collar by now. She also knew that she would've taken the people of Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce with her. After all, it had been three days since the Great Gas Collar had opened. However, it didn't bother him since he didn't want to go there with Wen Yi Ren anyway. Being a solo operator was the best way for a person with so many secrets like him. Ye Xiwen was very happy. However, the biggest reason for his happiness wasn't his own progress. Instead, it was Ye Mo's full recovery. He had been wandering here and there all these years for Ye Mo's treatment since he had wanted to try all kinds of methods to do so. Ye Xiwen's biggest achievement in this more than half-a-year's time was that he had helped Ye Mo in recovering his soul by giving him the 'Nine Leafed Dragon Primary Grass'. Ye Mo's soul had completely recovered after refining and absorbing it for more than half-a- year. Moreover, Ye Mo's level had increased as well. "It has been half-a-year. The Great Gas Collar has finally opened!" Ye Xiwen said. He was already late by three days. So, he didn't waste any time. He transformed into a streamer of light, and flew out of the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. The news of Ye Xiwen's departure soon reached the Dominating Heavens Dojo. "Good, good, good. I have been waiting for you to come out!" King Tai said in a cold voice and laughed. "I knew that you wouldn't hide there for your entire life!" King Tai's expression turned exceptionally sinister. His hatred for Ye Xiwen knew no bounds. After all, Ye Xiwen had made him lose face in front of Wen Yi Ren. King Tai's hadn't left for the Great Gas Collar even though it had opened. Instead, he had been waiting for Ye Xiwen to come out. The hatred in his heart would only disappear after he had brutally killed Ye Xiwen. (To be continued)

13 comments, join in Chapter 544: Pursued and Besieged! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga [My wait is finally over. That Ye Xiwen has come out of the turtle shell of the Great Gas Chamber of Commerce's protection. And, he's going to die now!] King Tai's hand trembled somewhat because of excitement. He had waited for almost half- a-year for this day. He wanted to tear Ye Xiwen into shreds so that he could make a meal out of him. King Tai had been rescued from the lair of the star beasts when he was younger. However, he-himself had transformed into a beast after staying in that lair. He didn't feel like a beast on ordinary days. However, he would transform into a beast if he became angry. Ye Xiwen had left the Great Gas City. His journey towards the Great Gas Collar had been smooth so far. However, he frowned at this moment since the entire place seemed too quiet. He knew about the Dominating Heaven Dojo's influence. So, he knew that the news of his departure from the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce couldn't be concealed. However, everything looked very quiet right now. And, this seemed strange to him. Was King Tai's such a generous person that he would let him go this time? It wasn't possible. Even King Tai wouldn't have believed it if someone had said this to him! Ye Xiwen believed that King Tai was the kind of person who would take revenge even for a small grievance. After all, he had arrived after the auction to kill him because he had snatched away his items in the auction. Such a lawless man could dare to do anything. The more powerful a person is, the more likely it is for them to become lawless. Nothing could be done about this. Who would want to talk about equality with weaklings? Who would want to talk about giving them respect? "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" An incomparably sharp sound of breaking of space was suddenly heard as dozens of spear-like long arrows arrived while piercing the vast space. They surrounded Ye Xiwen from all sides; thereby blocking off his escape routes. It was clear that this extremely proficient attack had been well-coordinated. The opposite party hadn't unleashed their attack in a disorganized manner. The Heavenly Source Mirror ferociously emitted a scarlet light from Ye Xiwen's body. It shrouded him, and formed a scarlet boundary. "Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!" Those rushing arrows struck the scarlet barrier, and issued metal clanging sounds. They couldn't break the Heavenly Source Mirror's defence. "Go, kill him!" a loud shout came from inside the void. Subsequently, more than a dozen figures appeared in the space around Ye Xiwen. All of them were powerful sage experts with extremely tyrannical auras. In fact, the weakest among them were also at the intermediate stage of sage realm. They were headed by a middle-aged expert who had already entered the Sage Great Perfection Realm. "Dominating Heaven Dojo!" Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes, and his countenance turned serious. Those people had the Dominating Heaven Dojo's logo on their bodies. King Tai had sent more than a dozen sage experts. He certainly had a disposition of seeking revenge even for a small grievance. Ye Xiwen had the strength of the intermediate stage of sage realm half-a-year ago. And, King Tai didn't know that he had made a breakthrough in these six months. Still, he had sent a Sage Great Perfection Level expert to stop him. He was either extremely cautious… or he had given Ye Xiwen too much importance. It seemed that he was still very much angry because of what had happened in the auction half-a-year ago. However, Ye Xiwen's face exposed a trace of excitement. After all, he had recently made the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm. So, he needed people to practice his newly obtained powers on. Moreover, he hadn't fought with an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm yet. "He is still smiling. Isn't he scared?" an expert of the Dominating Heaven Dojo burst into laughter, and said. He appeared to be somewhat crazy. The other experts also followed suit, and burst into laughter. "It's useless to pretend to be naive. You will die this time. Nobody can save a person whom our Young Lord wants to kill. You would have been safe if you were still hidden inside the Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. However, you will die since you've come out!" the chief middle-aged expert who had reached the Sage Great Perfection Realm said with a sinister grin on his face. "Brothers, attack. We must give the head of this boy to the Young Lord when he arrives!" That middle-aged expert's voice had barely faded when those experts of the Dominating Heaven Dojo attacked one after another. Different kinds of attacks swept out like waves. These grandiose attacks captured the entire space around Ye Xiwen. They swept all across, and crushed the void. However, that expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm merely stood there with his arms folded across his chest. He didn't mean to interfere. What was Ye Xiwen in his opinion? He was an insignificant expert of the late stage of sage realm; nothing more. He differed from him by several levels. He had personally arrived here not because King Tai gave very much importance to Ye Xiwen or because King Tai was very much cautious. Rather, it was because he wanted to curry favour with King Tai — the future Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. Everyone in the Dojo knew that King Tai was going to be the next Lord. So, that expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm could enjoy endless wealth for several hundred years if he could curry favour with him. Many people in the Dojo were under him because of his Sage Great Perfection level strength. So, he was regarded as a high-level person. In fact, the people of the Dojo believed that the next Lord of the Dojo would have to rope him in. And, this may have been true for average people. But, this Young Lord was different. Everyone knew that this Young Lord had been captured by the star beasts in his childhood. Consequently, his temperament had become similar to that of a beast. He had been acting normal in these past years. However, that incident from his childhood had left a very profound imprint on him. His temperament had become incomparably violent... so much so that he would kill a person if that person disobeyed him. In fact, he would even eat their flesh later. This represented the so-called saying 'You will flourish if you obey, and die if you disobey'. So, it would certainly be better for that Sage Great Perfection level expert if he could improve his relation with such a Young Lord in advance. However, he had brought people along with him. After all, he didn't wish to do this job with his own hands since he believed that Ye Xiwen was unworthy to be his opponent. "Haa!" Ye Xiwen lightly shouted. A big hand stretched out, and a golden light scattered in the surroundings. Then, the big hand grabbed and extinguished the attacks of those experts of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. In fact, it appeared as if a big hand had smashed a group of ants. "Ha ha. Consider yourself worthy to face us!" Three experts of the late stage of sage realm rode on a Small Three Echelon Formation to outflank him. The first expert had a sword scar on his face. His complexion looked sinister as he laughed furiously. These people had been following King Tai for a very long time now. So, they had also become somewhat violent and fierce. Those three men rode on the Small Three Echelon Formation with great coordination. This formation looked simple. However, it contained the power of countless dao principles. It wasn't easy to produce and make variations in most of these matrix formations such as Univariate formation, Yin Yang formation, Three Echelon formation, and Four Elements formations. Moreover, these matrix formations must be used in coordination with the user in order to display the greatest might. This was especially true for these three small barriers which needed concentric offensives as well as defensives in order to display their might to the peak. Their might was equivalent to that of three senior experts of the late stage of sage realm at their peak. Even an expert of the sage peak realm could contend against only one or two experts of the late stage of sage realm. So, the strength of these three small barriers was even greater than that of an expert of the sage peak realm. It wasn't as exquisite as the Five Elements Great Barrier of the Five Huang Brothers. However, it was already enough for these three men who were quickly moving back and forth. The combined attack of the three men issued a strange fluctuation. And, their murderous aura shook the entire Universe as their offensives swept out towards Ye Xiwen like mighty tides. "Heh!" Ye Xiwen sneered. He looked like a God as he stood motionless in the middle of these violent attacks, and allowed them to hit him. Finally, he moved, and a fist swept out. This fist then transformed into a big star, and fell down on the Small Three Echelon Formation. And, the resulting scene looked like an image from a doomsday depiction. A terrifying force swept out in all directions. The space shook and ripped apart under the crushing pressure of this big star as dreadful waves of star power swept all across. The complexions of those three men changed significantly after Ye Xiwen's fist swept out. They could feel this extremely terrifying force. The Small Three Echelon Formation that they were riding on was unable to withstand this crushing blow even with the help of its inbuilt heavenly principles. [Such a dreadful brute force... how can this man be so powerful?!] This thought appeared in the minds of those three men. They had already entered the late stage of sage realm a long time ago. In fact, they weren't far from the sage peak realm. So, an ordinary expert of late stage of sage realm wasn't a match for them. Moreover, they had attacked together while riding on the Small Three Echelon Formation. They had never come across someone who could contend against them even after they had started to use the Small Three Echelon Formation. However, they hadn't expected that this guy who had been at the intermediate stage of sage realm half-a-year ago could possess such terrifying strength at present. However, they had finally experienced Ye Xiwen's incredible power at this time... The complexion of that chief middle-aged expert of the Sage Great Perfection Realm had also changed significantly by this time. He had realized that he had underestimated Ye Xiwen's strength. Ye Xiwen's strength was perhaps even more tyrannical than his. "Stop!" He couldn't continue to watch anymore, and attacked promptly. Consequently, boundless divine beams suddenly swept out towards Ye Xiwen. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen fist had transformed into a big star, and had crushed the Small Three Echelons Formation. Then, that dreadful fist pressure had slammed upon the bodies of those three men. The defensive divine tools on the bodies of those three men activated within a split second. However, they got disintegrated immediately-after. "Aah!" The weakest expert among those three couldn't endure Ye Xiwen's dreadful fist pressure. The pressure of that fist wasn't sharp. However, it was as heavy as a giant mountain. That man got crushed by the enormous pressure. He screamed loudly, and blood gushed out from every pore of his body. His skin wasn't able to endure the tremendous pressure, and ruptured as a result. His entire body was covered with blood at the moment. He looked like a person made of blood. Those other two men attacked at this time. They had finally understood that Ye Xiwen was far more powerful than what they had imagined. He had looked like an expert of the late stage of sage realm. However, they had come to realize how stupid they had been after they had started to fight him. After all, they would've killed him by now if he was an ordinary expert of the late stage of sage realm. A terrified look appeared in their eyes. They were thinking about the legendary heaven's pride experts who could fight people who were much more powerful than them. Now, they could only wait for that expert of Sage Great Perfection Realm to arrive, and save them. They had to put their entire effort, and constrain this man till then. Otherwise, nobody among them would survive. The combined attack of the two men fell from above like a star river. It transformed into a whirlpool in the sky, and swooped towards Ye Xiwen. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen stretched out his big hand. The golden light spread out in all directions. Then, the big hand grabbed the star river, and exploded it. Ye Xiwen shot another punch immediately- after. It transformed into a big star, and swept down. "Bang!" Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred. Both men trembled with horror under Ye Xiwen's fist pressure. They tried to run away. However, they couldn't rival Ye Xiwen's speed, and their heads got pounded upon by Ye Xiwen's fist. "Bang!" "Bang!" Two muffled sounds were heard as their bodies got smashed by Ye Xiwen's fist, and their blood got splattered in the space. (To be continued)

24 comments, join in Chapter 545: Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Another expert of the late stage of sage realm had collapsed under the pressure of Ye Xiwen's fist. The bones of his entire body had gotten crushed, and his soul had been shattered. It may have seemed that all of these things had happened over a long duration of time. However, all of it had happened within the blink of an eye. The attack of that middle- aged expert of Sage Great Perfection realm finally arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. His attack wasn't slow. It hadn't taken a long time to reach Ye Xiwen. However, it seemed slow compared to Ye Xiwen's extremely fast speed. Ye Xiwen's devil wings weren't just a magical power. They also contained a cleverly crafted agility skill that made Ye Xiwen's attacks as fast as lightning. It took a long time to describe everything. However, Ye Xiwen had defeated these experts in an instant. Ye Xiwen didn't blink his eyes as he faced the attack of that middle-aged expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. A scarlet screen suddenly emerged from his body, and appeared in front of him. "Bang!" a loud sound was heard. It seemed as if the Heaven and the Earth had collided. This had been a terrifying collision. It had given rise to a dreadful wave which had swept out, and had smashed the vast space layer by layer. Everyone saw that Ye Xiwen stood motionless in the space as the shock waves dispersed. He looked incomparably outstanding. "Damn it!" The complexion of that middle- aged expert of Sage Great Perfection realm changed. He hadn't expected that such a blunder would happen because of his late response. Three sage experts had died within a split second. It was a big loss. Losing three sage experts could be considered as a disastrous loss even for a colossal force like the Dominating Heaven Dojo. There weren't many sage experts in the universe. Moreover, it wasn't very easy to either create one or recruit one. Therefore, even the death of a single sage expert was considered a significant loss. However, the Dominating Heaven Dojo had lost three sage experts in one fell swoop. The Dojo Lord wouldn't spare that middle-aged expert of Sage Great Perfection realm if he returned without Ye Xiwen's head. "Kill him!" the complexion of that middle-aged expert suddenly changed, and he shouted. The remaining ten experts took out their long bows, and nocked their arrows. Then, they shot their arrows towards Ye Xiwen. "Whizz!" "Whizz!" "Whizz!" A barrage of arrows cut through the vast space like a giant dragon, and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Those experts had attacked with their entire strength. Their arrows formed a densely packed rain of arrow in the space. Ye Xiwen coldly snorted while facing the approaching rain of arrow. Then, he shouted loudly, and the sound of the shout set off countless 'spirit energies'. They appeared like an avalanche, and swept out after they had transformed into divine beams. Those arrows weren't able to approach Ye Xiwen. They had been shattered on the way by those divine beams. "Whoosh!" A figure penetrated through the dense rain of arrows, and arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. The middle-aged expert had taken advantage of the distraction caused by those arrows, and had arrived near Ye Xiwen. "Boy, I will send you on your way. Damn it! You've dared to cause so much trouble for me. I will make sure that you die without a burial ground!" The countenance of that middle-aged expert turned ice-cold as he looked at Ye Xiwen. He had rushed over with a dreadful 'Real Elemental Energy'. Consequently, a terrifying power had swept out, and this had opened numerous cracks in the void. The scene looked unusually terrifying. That expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm was only one step away from entering 'Sage Accomplished' realm. He was only one step away from attaining the highest level of the sage realm. Such a person had attacked with his entire strength. Obviously, his strength was incredibly dreadful. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen stretched out his big hand, and blocked the offence of that expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm. "You're very skilful. It's no wonder that you're so arrogant. However, you shouldn't have dared to oppose our Young Lord. You're like an ant in front of our Dominating Heaven Dojo!" A look of astonishment had appeared in the eyes of that middle-aged expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. After all, he hadn't thought that Ye Xiwen would be able to stop his attack. This was completely beyond his expectations. However, soon his complexion became even more sinister. And, he rushed out at an even faster speed. Then, his aura burst out of his body, formed a dreadful tide, and rushed towards Ye Xiwen. He then brandished his palm. It smashed down, and shattered the void. He had attacked with his entire strength this time. He hadn't held back one bit. "Bang!" The palm of that middle-aged expert suddenly arrived in front of Ye Xiwen. However, it got stopped by a golden wall that had been formed by the mighty golden waves under Ye Xiwen's feet. It seemed that two big stars had collided. Both men had unleashed insane powers, and their violent collision had set off energy waves that surged everywhere. The face of that middle-aged expert finally exposed a look of terror. Earlier, he hadn't attacked with his entire strength, and his attack had been stopped by Ye Xiwen. However, he had attacked with his entire strength this time. But, he still couldn't shake Ye Xiwen's defence... In fact, his attack had seemed useless. It seemed as if a moth had thrown itself into fire. "It's my turn now!" Ye Xiwen sneered. His entire vitality surged out of his body. His golden divinities surged up into incredible divine waves, and swept towards that middle- aged expert. "Bang!" That middle-aged expert wasn't able to escape. And, the attack struck him head- on. "Poof!" He spouted a mouthful of blood, and his body went out flying upside down. In fact, his body had nearly gotten torn into two halves. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen didn't stop after that middle-aged expert went out flying. Instead, he rushed after him while breaking the space. His figure transformed into a golden streamer, and violently dashed forward. The tremendous repulsive force propelled Ye Xiwen forward as fast as lightning. He had covered a large distance in a flash… as if it were only a few inches. He instantly caught up with his target, and formed the Hanshan Seal. "Bang!" The Hanshan Seal fell down from above like a huge mountain. The void collapsed under the immense pressure. "Bang!" The body of that middle-aged expert got crushed under the tremendous pressure of Ye Xiwen's attack. The entire space turned quiet. Everyone was blankly watching this scene before their eyes. They felt like idiots. They had never imagined that this could happen. They hadn't anticipated that the situation would turn out like this. The main reason why they had arrived here was that they had wanted to curry favour with King Tai by killing Ye Xiwen. And, it should have been very easy since Ye Xiwen was only an expert of the intermediate stage of sage realm half-a-year ago. Sage realm was very difficult to reach for most of the human experts. However, it was no big deal for this group. They had brought more than a dozen sage experts. In fact, their group even included a senior expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm. So, no matter how formidable their target was… He wouldn't be a match for them. It was precisely because of this that they had rushed here of their own accord while striving to be the first and fearing to be last. They were willing to do anything to curry favour with their future Lord, and this non-risky mission was most welcome. However, they hadn't thought that things would eventually change like this. The most powerful expert among them couldn't stop Ye Xiwen's attack, and had gone out flying. "Run away quickly!" Those remaining ten experts couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't clear who had shouted. However, everyone began to turn around to escape. They had arrived here to curry favour with King Tai. But, they were indeed afraid of death. They didn't want to throw away their lives for the sake of the Doming Heaven Dojo. Their speed was quick. However, it wasn't faster than Ye Xiwen's speed. Ye Xiwen went all out, and killed them rapidly. The space once again turned quiet in a matter of moments. In fact, there was a dead silence. Ye Xiwen had obtained some information from King Tai's subordinates. So, he knew that King Tai had transformed into a streamer of light, and had been shuttling through the space towards Ye Xiwen's location. "Hurry up! Hurry up! I want to tear that bastard with my own hands!" King Tai fiercely said. It was hard to imagine how much hatred he possessed for Ye Xiwen. He wanted to tear Ye Xiwen into pieces, and devour his flesh. He knew that Ye Xiwen had already left Great Gas's Chamber of Commerce. So, he was in a hurry. Also, he knew that his subordinates would have already confronted Ye Xiwen. Therefore, he wanted to reach there even more quickly. Otherwise, his men would've already killed Ye Xiwen by the time he arrived, and his half-a-year long wait would go in vain. "Make sure you wait for me. I will rip you apart with my own hands!" King Tai said while laughing fiercely. His speed was extremely fast. He had reached that battlefield rather quickly. However, he was surprised to see that the entire scene was in a mess, and a figure was sitting upright in the centre of this scene. He looked like a Buddha who had been quietly cultivating, and had fused with the Universe. "Boy, you didn't try to escape?" King Tai had recognized in a glance that this figure was Ye Xiwen's. It could be said that he hated Ye Xiwen to the core. He had seen him only one time. However, he had such a deep impression of him that he could recognize him in one glance. Ye Xiwen stood up, and exposed a smile from the corner of his mouth. It looked somewhat ice-cold. "I don't have the habit of putting aside danger. If there is a threat, then I must destroy it as soon as possible!" Ye Xiwen had been waiting here for King Tai. He had come to know that King Tai was going to arrive here from those experts he had killed. So, he had decided that he would settle the deal with King Tai once-and-for-all right here. He already knew that King Tai was the kind of person who would take revenge even for the slightest of grievances. He hated Ye Xiwen, and wanted to kill him just because he had snatched away an item from him in the auction. Such a person would do anything if left unattended. This represented the so- called saying 'cut the weeds and eliminate the roots'. It would be better to attack first and kill him instead of waiting for him to attack! "Ha ha ha ha. You've got some courage!" King Tai furiously laughed. His ominous power shook the space in the surroundings, and shattered it. "But, it's fine. The heaven is helping me. Now, you die!" This was the ominous power of King Tai. He had acquired it when he had lived in seclusion among the demon beasts for a long time. He was also an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. However, he and that middle-aged expert weren't on same level. There was a difference of cloud and mud between them. He looked like the King of demon-beasts in this starry space. He looked incomparably ferocious. (To be continued)

38 comments, join in Chapter 546: Pressing Battle! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga King Tai shouted loudly, and summoned a two meter tall star-beast. Its head was like that of a leopard, its body was like that of a tiger, and its tail was like that of a scorpion. Its entire body was blood-red. It looked exceptionally ferocious. Ye Xiwen had seen the record of this strange star-beast in the ancient books. It was the combination of three animals — leopard, tiger, and scorpion. It wasn't known to which species of demon-beasts it belonged. All the fierce beasts of the world like the demon- beasts, the star-beasts, and so on followed a simple principle... the purer the blood, the more ferocious the beast is. The human race also followed this rule. The men who possessed the blood of the ancient humans were awfully powerful. However, this hybrid beast was clearly an exception to this rule. It looked insolent and fierce as it raised its head and roared. Its roar shook the entire surrounding space. It was incomparably dreadful. This star-beast possessed an incredibly ominous dominance. It looked like the king of the beasts. It looked up and stood straight. Then, it trod with its four claws, and ripped apart the space. This fight had attracted many experts here. A lot of experts had left for the Great Gas Collar. However, some of the experts believed that they wouldn't get any good opportunities to obtain divine treasures at the Great Gas Collar. After all, those fortuitous encounters came with brutal killings. They either believed that they didn't possess enough strength or they believed that they didn't have good luck. Basically, they were just too ordinary. The majority of them were the experts of the Great Gas City who knew everything about the Great Gas Collar. Therefore, they didn't want to go there to throw away their lives. A lot of people had heard that King Tai had been talking about killing someone in the past six months. That someone had turned out to be Ye Xiwen. Now, Ye Xiwen had come out, and King Tai had set out to kill him. And, these people didn't wish to miss this epic confrontation. Many people had arrived here one after another. They looked from afar that the ominous energy of a star beast was boiling in space. "My goodness, isn't that the hybrid beast that has been accompanying King Tai for many years now? It is said that many people had gone to suppress the group of tiger-leopard- scorpions after King Tai had fallen into their group. However, they had seen that this tiger- leopard-scorpion was calmly accompanying King Tai when they arrived there. It is said that this tiger-leopard-scorpion is of a different nature from birth. It is inherently bold and powerful!" "Of course, there's no doubt about it. It looks extremely terrifying. It seems that it can tear the world to shreds!" Ye Xiwen's complexion turned serious. This hybrid beast didn't lack in strength when compared to King Tai. In fact, this demon beast of variant origin had also reached the Sage Great Perfection realm. It seemed that it would be very difficult to deal with it. "Kill!" King Tai stepped onto that hybrid beast, and shouted loudly. The 'spirit energies' of the entire space began to vibrate crazily. They vibrated and twisted. The scene looked extremely terrifying. King Tai pulled out heavenly and painted halberd, and held it in his hand. It issued a dreadful charm. Ye Xiwen snorted as he saw this. Then, the golden vitality in his entire body surged out. It transformed into an energy pillar, and soared up. Then, that energy pillar swept all across in an overwhelming manner. There wasn't even a bit of fear on Ye Xiwen's face as he faced King Tai who rushed towards him like a small mountain. In fact, he felt somewhat excited deep in his heart. That expert of Sage Great Perfection realm whom he had fought earlier was no challenge when compared to King Tai. Ye Xiwen spread out his hands at this time. Then, he suddenly clenched his fists, and transformed them into a big star. Then, this big star swept forward with a loud rumbling sound. "Rumble!" The big star collided in the sky with the halberd. And, this collision issued a metal clanging sound. The tip of King Tai's halberd and Ye Xiwen's fist pressure collided. Both of them had attacked with their entire strength. King Tai's body got swept away by a dreadful astral wind. His complexion turned slightly discoloured. He hadn't thought that Ye Xiwen could be so powerful. After all, he had believed that Ye Xiwen was merely an expert of the late stage of sage realm; nothing more. However, Ye Xiwen was fighting with him bare-handed. Moreover, it seemed that his strength was incredible… and so was his potential! In fact, it could be said that he would develop to a great extent if he was left alive. The entire starry space suddenly exploded. The spot of collision in the space had already transformed into smoke and dust. Numerous cracks had appeared even at faraway places. The complexions of those experts who had dared to arrive here to witness this fight changed as soon as they saw this. They felt that they might get to see this kind of a fight only once in their entire lifetime… However, what had shocked them the most was that this unknown boy before their eyes had turned out to be a match for King Tai. Moreover, he was fighting with King Tai unarmed. This was what King Tai used to do with others in the past. He often used to take on his opponents like a beast by relying only upon his tyrannical body. However, the situation had reversed in this instance. King Tai's complexion slightly changed. He had come across such a tough opponent for the first time in his life. His opponent was fighting with him barehanded. This meant that his body was extremely tyrannical. Perhaps, it was even more tyrannical than his. Otherwise, how could an expert of the late stage of sage realm fight with an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm? "You've got some trick up your sleeves. It's no wonder that you've dared to oppose me. However, it's still useless. Nobody can save you. Today, you shall die!" King Tai furiously said. A proud and cruel grin appeared on his face. Ye Xiwen eyes were ice-cold at the moment. King Tai possessed outstanding strength. He deserved to be one of the four heroes of Great Gas. He was indeed strong enough to rule among his peers. However, Ye Xiwen didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. He raised his hand, and clenched his fist. He then said, "I will take on whoever dares to fight with me. This day shall be your death anniversary next year!" "That's very audacious of you!" King Tai burst into laughter as his halberd pointed towards Ye Xiwen once again. He then attacked carrying a dreadful 'imposing aura'. He rushed forward sitting on the hybrid beast, and shattered the void. And, a wave of murderous aura erupted to complemented King Tai's tyranny. King Tai's halberd sketched a long imaginary shadow in the space. It suddenly issued countless halberd-beams, which went flying towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen simply disregarded it. A fist swept down, and transformed into a huge star. The huge star crushed everything in its path. Those halberd-beams bombarded on top of this star. However, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared in that instant, and annihilated those halberd-beams. Consequently, the halberd-beams disappeared without a trace after giving rise to a few ripples. "How is it possible?" King Tai didn't dare to believe what he had just seen. [What is his body made of? How can it be so tough?] A bad feeling appeared in his mind at this time. However, Ye Xiwen didn't give him a chance to react. And, he quickly launched another attack. Each of his fists pounded like a big star. It blotted-out the sky and covered the Earth, and set off strong energy storms. This was the most unusual fight. Both sides had gone all out. The speed of their attacks was so quick that it had dazzled the majority of experts who had been witnessing the fight from afar. In fact, they couldn't even tell how many times these two individuals had clashed in that instant. "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" The two individuals attacked each other, and metal clanging sounds were issued. However, it seemed Ye Xiwen had suppressed King Tai by using his fist alone. "Bang!" Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded. King Tai retreated several times in front of everyone while remaining seated atop his hybrid beast. In fact, he had nearly fallen off the hybrid beast. He spouted mouthful of blood; a big and round hole had been opened on his chest. Moreover, his metal armor had also been shattered. In fact, he would have died if that metal armor hadn't been protecting his body. King Tai stared at Ye Xiwen in a malicious manner. He hadn't paid attention to Ye Xiwen at first. He had only wanted to tear him into shreds, and devour his flesh thereafter. However, he had realized how wrong he had been after he had fought with Ye Xiwen. He had always fought with everyone depending solely upon his tyrannical body. People used to say that he was a star-beast in the form of a human. He had always toyed with his opponent to his heart's content. However, his strongest aspect looked extremely weak in front of Ye Xiwen. In fact, his most tyrannical aspect had been rendered useless because he had come across an opponent with a more powerful body than his own. And, that was why he was suffering right now... His strongest aspect had been nullified. So, what could he depend on now? He had become aware of the terror of Ye Xiwen's ferocious body… just like those demon beasts that had died at Ye Xiwen's hands. His attacks couldn't shake Ye Xiwen's defence. In fact, it seemed as if he were a Golden God of War. However, Ye Xiwen hadn't even paid any attention to his defences. Moreover, it had been his simplest of attacks that King Tai had been finding trouble coping up with... King Tai had tried very hard to injure Ye Xiwen. However, he hadn't been able to do so. On the other hand, Ye Xiwen's casual attacks had injured him to the point of leaving him to vomit blood. "Are you okay?" King Tai's hybrid beast opened its mouth and asked. "I'm fine!" King Tai clenched his teeth, and somehow suppressed the vitality that was surging inside his body. However, he still continued to spout blood because of his wounded vitality. "I'll kill him. I'll rip him to shreds!" Ye Xiwen was standing in the void. He looked average, and nowhere near spectacular. However, he carried a terrifying and outstanding aura. Everyone had come to feel it… especially after he had completely repulsed King Tai. King Tai looked at Ye Xiwen. His eyes were ice-cold like electricity. They were brimming with killing intention and intense hatred. "Bang!" King Tai lifted his halberd. The space exploded, and halberd-beams swept out. His murderous aura looked boundless. Such battle prowess had surpassed the level of an ordinary expert of Sage Great Perfection realm! Everyone was terrified when they saw this. After all, such fighting strength was enough to slaughter all of them at the same time! The most powerful person among them was merely an expert of the late stage of sage realm. After all, the experts who were stronger than the ones in this group had already entered the Great Gas Collar. It was impossible for the ordinary experts that were present here to not get terrified while witnessing such fighting strength. However, what made them even more terrified was that King Tai who possessed such incredible fighting strength had been forced into a disadvantageous position by Ye Xiwen. In fact, King Tai had been brutally battered by Ye Xiwen's attacks. Moreover, he had been left exhausted and distressed. In fact, the experts who were witnessing this fight had begun to believe that Ye Xiwen was as terrifying as an ancient killing god! "Kill!" King Tai's murderous aura burst out. He knew that he had fallen into a disadvantageous position. However, he didn't become weak. On the contrary, his killing intention rose even higher. He then stormed towards Ye Xiwen while carrying the long halberd in his hand. He felt that he needed to seize this opportunity to kill Ye Xiwen! "It seems that you haven't understood it yet!" Ye Xiwen smirked. There was no doubt that King Tai was very powerful. However, he couldn't pose any threat to him unless he was a heaven's pride expert of the same realm. What was a heaven's pride expert? They were the so-called 'peerless geniuses' who appeared one in millions. The True Martial University had a few heaven's pride experts among its millions of disciples. However, those millions of experts who had arrived in the True Martial University were the best ones among god-knows how many experts in the Southern Region. Moreover, even those experts had been selected from countless ordinary people. It needn't be mentioned that the Southern Region was so huge that it was hard to count how many people populated it. It didn't matter how big the Great Gas City was. After all, it was only a city; nothing more. It wasn't on the same level as the Southern Region. (To be continued) Translator's Thoughts Novel_Saga Note: The Halberd used by King Tai is called ‘Fang Tian Hua Halberd’. ‘Fang Tian’ means ‘comparable to heaven’, and ‘Hua Halberd’ means ‘Painted Halberd’. Fang Tain Hua is a mythical halberd. In short, it’s a painted halberd with a painting that can be compared with the paintings in the heaven.

30 comments, join in Chapter 547: Slaughters King Tai! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Xiwen possessed the fighting strength of a heaven's pride expert. In fact, he could be called a peerless genius among the heaven's pride experts. There had been several heavens' pride experts in the Southern Region in the past hundred years. In fact, the heaven's pride experts who had died at Ye Xiwen's hands would've become more terrifying if they had grown up to this day. King Tai might have pulled Ye Xiwen into a bitter struggle if he was also a heaven's pride expert. Ye Xiwen sneered. A big hand stretched out, and fell down from above. It then transformed into a great seal, and swept down. "Bang!" The great seal pounded upon King Tai's halberd. A terrifying force travelled through the halberd, and charged into his body. Consequently, it became a little difficult for King Tai to hold the halberd since his palms had been cracked open to bleed. Moreover, the legs of the hybrid beast on which King Tai was sitting had also bent because of the attack. It nearly fell to its knees as a result, but its movement crushed the void underneath. King Tai had finally discovered that his martial arts accomplishment was nothing in comparison to Ye Xiwen. Moreover, there was a huge disparity in his level of martial dao achievement as well. The disparity wasn't as big as the disparity between humans and ants. However, it was as much as the difference between cloud and mud. It could also be compared to the disparity between an infant and a sturdy adult. "Now, die. Blood Rain Killing Demon!" King Tai roared. He urged out the entire Real Elemental Energy in his body. After all, he needed to turn the tide in his favour at any cost. And, he had to go all out for this. There was no other option. His aura began to surge up, and the void in the periphery got distorted in its entirety. The lower half of his body transformed into a pool of blood, and that hybrid beast got integrated into it. Consequently, his fighting strength suddenly turned up a notch. "Damn it! Boy, I'm not willing to accept that I can't kill you. I am the best. I'm the head of the four heroes of Great Gas. Who do you think you are to be challenging me?" King Tai's Real Elemental Energy burst out, and disintegrated the void. The unleashed energy contained an incredible divine power. Ye Xiwen's complexion turned slightly cold while facing King Tai's sudden outbreak. However, his gaze seemed simply unaffected. The page of Ancient God Scripture flew out behind him. It seemed as if he was reading the God Scripture that had been passed down since ancient times. A divine beam burst out, and dyed Ye Xiwen's entire figure golden. He now looked like a Golden God of War. "It's useless. You're no match for me. What four heroes of Great Gas? It's laughable!" Ye Xiwen coldly replied. He didn't care about the Great Gas's four heroes. He would have crushed them like ants if he possessed the same cultivation time as them. He wasn't scared of the Great Gas's four heroes. However, he would be somewhat wary if the forces backing them attacked him. Ye Xiwen's fist transformed into a big star, fell down, and struck King Tai's body. King Tai clenched his teeth, and suddenly released an incredible scarlet light from his body. The scarlet light transformed into a sky-devouring blood beast. In fact, it looked like an ancient beast from the legends that could swallow the stars. It then suddenly rushed up to attack. "Rumble!" Ye Xiwen's big star transformed into numerous sword-lights as he faced this dreadful insurrection. And, that blood-beast got cut into two halves on the spot. The beast transformed into an astral wind in the void, and was then swept away like a mighty wave. King Tai had nearly transformed into a fierce beast during this attack. Moreover, countless scales had grown over his body. Suddenly, the scarlet halberd streaked through the vast space. It carried an invincible ominous energy, and instantly arrived in front of Ye Xiwen to kill him. King Tai's muscles began to rupture. It was evident that he couldn't maintain this beastly form for long. Blood splashed out from his body, and he transformed into a blood man. In addition, his complexion turned exceptionally fierce. Half of the reason for this transformation was his immense hatred for Ye Xiwen, while the other half was his unbearable pain which had converted into immense power. This was to be his last as well as most powerful strike! A sword appeared in Ye Xiwen's palm. He then slashed with it. The strike transformed into a sword-light, and swept out. It rushed towards that scarlet halberd. Buried Heaven Sword! Ye Xiwen had already mastered the sword technique of 'Buried Heaven Sword' to the bone. So, even his single effortless sword strike was able to unleash a dreadful amount of power. "Bang!" King Tai's strength had reached its zenith. And, it seemed that he would break the world. However, Ye Xiwen's strength was still more formidable. King Tai's body got blown away by Ye Xiwen once again. Moreover, his body was being torn apart by Ye Xiwen's horrifying power. In fact, it had nearly been ripped apart by now... Ye Xiwen streaked across the space, and instantly arrived in front of King Tai. The incredible magical prowess of devil wings had manifested to the extreme. Ye Xiwen stretched out his hand. It suddenly transformed into an exceptionally huge seal, and slammed down on King Tai. Everyone was stunned as they witnessed the scene before their eyes. King Tai's strength had been insane before he had transformed. And, his strength had increased by a notch after transforming into a beast. However, he still hadn't been able to stand his ground in front of Ye Xiwen. Moreover, he had been routed very effortlessly. This showed that Ye Xiwen was far too powerful. "It's over. King Tai is done for. He looks like an infant in front of this man even after unleashing his utmost power. He's far inferior to this man. They aren't on the same level!" "It's a pity. King Tai is a peerless genius of our Great Gas City. He might have had the opportunity to enter the Great Sage realm in the future. However, he is going to fall here!" "King Tai always bullies others by abusing the power of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. So, it is a good thing that he's going to die now!" "This man is reckless and unruly. He has dared to resort to extreme methods against King Tai. The Dominating Heaven Dojo isn't going to leave this matter be. This will shake the entire Great Gas City!" Most of the spectators didn't have a favourable opinion of King Tai's chances. After all, King Tai didn't have anything that could give these people even a bit of hope about his chances against Ye Xiwen's unimaginable strength. "Stop!" a furious shout came from the Great Gas City. All the 'spirit energies' gathered in the surroundings suddenly scattered like clouds. Then, a big hand swept out from the Great Gas City. It ripped through the vast space, and rushed towards the battlefield. This attack carried immensely dreadful strength, and the power of boundless principles. Its might couldn't be matched. And, this development instantly left everyone terrified. Great Sage! This scary Great Sage coercion made a lot of experts weak in the knee. They didn't dare to disobey. After all, this was the true power of Great Sage! There would be no suspense about the outcome if an ordinary sage expert clashed with a Great Sage expert. It would be impossible for ordinary sage experts to contend against a Great Sage expert because they weren't on the same level as a Great Sage expert. "This is Dominating Heaven Dojo's lord!" Ye Xiwen felt that overwhelming 'imposing aura'. Moreover, the killing intention was hardly concealed. In fact, it seemed that it would engulf him whole. "Humph!" Ye Xiwen snorted. This Dominating Heaven Dojo's Lord must have been observing King Tai since the beginning. He must have been considering Ye Xiwen as King Tai's whetstone. Therefore, he hadn't done anything so far. However, he had now seen that King Tai had fallen into a disadvantageous position. Moreover, he was also about to die at Ye Xiwen's hands. So, he couldn't stop himself from attacking. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't the kind of person who would leave the root of the trouble behind. King Tai's personality wouldn't allow him to be grateful to Ye Xiwen if Ye Xiwen didn't kill him. Instead, he would harbour a grudge against him, and would think about methods to kill him. "Bang!" King Tai screamed as his body got crushed by Ye Xiwen. Then, his body transformed into a mass of blood fog. And, his soul got shattered. "You have a death wish!" The Dominating Heaven Dojo's lord became infuriated when he saw his beloved disciple being killed. He had been nurturing King Tai for many years so that he could succeed him. He had put mental and physical efforts for many years to nurture King Tai, and had made him one of the four heroes of Great Gas. Moreover, King Tai was expected to become a Great Sage in the future. However, the entirety of his efforts had gone in vain since King Tai had been killed by Ye Xiwen. Everything had got in vain. So, he would now have to spend several hundred years more to cultivate another person. And, this new talent still might not be able to achieve King Tai's level of strength. Moreover, the other three heroes of Great Gas would have grown to god knows what extent till then. This was the most awful thing that could have happened. A dreadful imposing aura soared in the space above the Great Gas City. And, a silhouette carrying a boundlessly evil aura swept towards the battlefield. His big hand had already ripped through the vast space, and was coming towards Ye Xiwen to grab him. It seemed that it would soon crush Ye Xiwen to death! "Whoosh!" Ye Xiwen's speed was extremely quick. He transformed into a golden flash in an instant, and moved several hundred kilometres away. "Bang!" The place where Ye Xiwen had stood a moment ago exploded. The space collapsed, and chaos leaked out from it. Then, the space exploded! It was like the aftermath of doomsday! It looked insanely terrifying. Ye Xiwen would've been crushed to death if he hadn't escaped so quickly. After all, he was merely an expert of the late stage of sage realm. Therefore, he differed from the Great Sage by several realms. So, he could've gotten crushed to death very easily. The disparity between sage realm and Great Sage realm was bigger than the disparity between legendary realm and sage realm. In fact, there was a difference of cloud and mud between them. They were simply not on same level. "Boy, you will die. I won't let you off!" The Lord of Dominating Heaven Dojo roared like an injured beast. He had entered Great Sage realm many years ago. And, nobody had ever dared to act like this against him till now. In addition, everyone used to pay respect to his disciples wherever they went. Nobody had ever dared to resort to extreme methods against his disciples. He had nurtured his successor for so many years. However, that would-be successor was now dead. So, it was certain that he would go insane and harbour an enormous grievance against his would-be successor's killer. It was hard to imagine how fast a Great Sage's attack could be. After all, this Great Sage's attack had crossed an enormous chunk of space in an instant to arrive close to the battlefield. Ye Xiwen had felt that an aura that initially had been very far away had arrived close to him in an instant. A Great Sage expert was very scary. However, it wasn't that Ye Xiwen didn't know this. After all, he had made a narrow escape from the hands of a Great Sage expert of the Fire Cloud Cave in the past. He had been attacked several times that day, but he had still managed to escape. His strength had certainly increased significantly from back then. However, he knew that he was still far from being a match for a ferocious expert of the Great Sage realm. Therefore, he immediately opened his devil wings, transformed into a streamer of light, and flew into the distance. (To be continued) Rate Translation Quality 20 comments, join in Chapter 548: Escapes from the Chase! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" A golden streamer was randomly shuttling around in the space at a great speed. And, a big hand was unceasingly pressing down from above. The big hand shattered the space and transformed it into a mass of chaos every time it pressed down. It appeared as if this big hand was giving birth to a new world each time it slammed down. "Ah!" Ye Xiwen heard the roar of the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo coming from behind him. The spiritual power contained in that big hand was tightly locked on his body. His pair of golden wings fluttered faster and faster. Great Sage experts were extremely ferocious. They could cover a thousand miles in a single step. Their incredible speed was simply beyond anyone's imagination. It would be useless for an ordinary sage expert even if they tried to escape as fast as possible. A Great Sage could catch up with them in an instant. However, Ye Xiwen was no ordinary sage expert. Moreover, his speed would become very high whenever he'd use his devil wings. In fact, he'd look like a golden lightning when he'd use his devil wings. This was how he had managed to escape from the hands of a Great Sage expert even when he only possessed the strength of semi-sage level. However, he was considered a super expert in sage realm now. It wasn't clear how much his strength had increased. Moreover, his devil wings had reached a whole new level as well. He had been chased nonstop by a Great Sage expert in the past. In fact, he had come close to being grasped on several occasions. However, his speed had become even faster now. The rage of the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo had soared. He roared again and again. However, he couldn't catch Ye Xiwen. He was missing to catch him by a bit every time. Ye Xiwen's present attitude was much more calm and confident as compared to when he had been chased by that Great Sage expert of the Fire Cloud Cave. However, the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo chased Ye Xiwen continuously. He wasn't willing to give up. It seemed that he wouldn't spare Ye Xiwen even if he had to pursue him to the end of the world. It felt that he would definitely tear him to shreds since he had killed his beloved disciple. "Ye Xiwen, quickly go towards the Great Gas Collar. He won't go in there!" Ye Mo promptly reminded. Ye Xiwen nodded. However, Ye Mo didn't need to say that since Ye Xiwen had already been flying in the direction of the Great Gas Collar. Ye Xiwen had slaughtered King Tai. So, the Lord of Dominating Heaven Dojo wasn't going to spare him. In fact, it seemed that he would pursue him to the world's edge. The devil wings were too awesome, and he didn't need to stop even for a bit. However, he didn't wish to spend his remaining life being chased like this. Therefore, he could go only in the direction of the Great Gas Collar since the Great Sage experts didn't dare to enter that place. However, the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo made out Ye Xiwen's intention soon enough. And, he flew into a rage when he figured out that Ye Xiwen wanted to enter the Great Gas Collar. [He would escape if I let him enter the Great Gas Collar. And, I won't be able to take revenge on this vile murderer who has killed my disciple.] Therefore, he tried to increase his speed. However, his speed had already reached to its limit. So, his speed didn't increase further no matter how much he tried. And, he kept falling short of Ye Xiwen by an inch every time as a result. He had obviously become furious. He didn't know what kind of agility technique Ye Xiwen possessed that had enabled an ordinary sage expert like him to escape from the hands of a Great Sage expert. This seemed like a big miracle which would shake the entire starry space if declared publicly. The Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo roared again and again. However, he couldn't catch Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen looked like a golden streamer that was far too fast. Moreover, it seemed that his momentum and power weren't reducing with time. Ye Xiwen's foundation was very deep. And, his Real Elemental Energy was even more profound. Even an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm might not have such profound cultivation. So, it wasn't clear how long it would take for his energy to exhaust. In fact, he had all kinds of spirit dans for replenishing his Real Elemental Energy. He had certainly consumed a huge amount of Primary Spirit Dans in these six months. However, a huge amount of it was still left in his stock. In addition, he also had a lot of medicinal pills in his stock for replenishing his Real Elemental Energy. So, it was basically impossible for him to exhaust the entirety of his resources. A lot of people were on the trajectory to the Great Gas Collar from Great Gas City. They saw that a flustered-looking senior Great Sage expert was chasing an ordinary sage expert in exasperation. The sound of his roar surged up like thunder, and shook the surroundings. A chunk of the space collapsed every time the big hand slammed down. The scene looked extremely dreadful. It was hard to tell how many people had been affected by this chase so far. After all, the mere aftershocks from this chase had injured many sage experts. "Bang!" Both men had reached the borderline of the Great Gas Collar. The Great Gas Collar looked different from earlier when it had been blockaded by the poisonous gas. Now, it had finally revealed a bit of its true appearance. However, some areas still had a weak presence of the poisonous fog. The ordinary people in these areas were able to enter the Great Gas Collar. However, the Collar looked like a giant continent. "Whoosh!" Ye Xiwen suddenly arrived while streaking across the space like a golden streamer, and vanished into the Great Gas Collar without even stopping for a moment. "Roar!" the sound of the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo's furious roar reverberated behind him. He had gone mad in rage since Ye Xiwen had escaped. Ye Xiwen had entered the Great Gas Collar. So, the Dojo Lord couldn't pursue him any further. "Phew!" Ye Xiwen let out a sigh of relief. He had planned how he would escape if he were to come across a Great Sage expert. However, he heaved a sigh of relief after having executed that plan. "There is a difference of Heaven and Earth between Great Sage realm and sage realm. They simply aren't on the same level. The Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo is just at the initial stage of Great Sage realm. However, he is as awe-inspiring as a God!" Ye Xiwen said this. He still had a lingering fear in his heart. A Great Sage level expert was far more powerful than what he had imagined. "He will definitely send people to blockade this Great Gas Collar. He won't let you escape very easily!" Ye Mo warned. The Great Gas Collar was very big. However, it wasn't impossible for these super-experts to blockade it. Ye Xiwen developed a headache as he thought all this. An ordinary sage expert would certainly be screwed if he got chased by a Great Sage expert who was dead-set on not letting him go. Therefore, this was only a temporary escape. He would still have to face him later. "However, it's not impossible to deal with it!" Ye Mo sneered and said. "You speed up the process of refining the soul of the star colossus. Your blood slave can grow up quickly to the initial stage of 'half-step Great Sage Realm' that way. And, it will be able to display the might of Great Sage Level by controlling the corpse of the star colossus once it's there!" Ye Xiwen wasn't the only one who had made a fast progress. Ye Xiwen had surely made the breakthrough into the late stage of sage realm, but that blood slave had already reached the Sage Accomplished realm. In fact, it had made much quicker progress than Ye Xiwen. The blood slave itself was formed by absorbing the star colossus' soul. Therefore, the so-called bottleneck, realization of realm, and so on didn't matter for the blood slave since its growth was based on 'direct borrowing'. Its cultivation increased by absorbing the star colossus. So, the quicker it would absorb… the faster it would progress. The blood slave could now display the strength of the late stage of half-step Great Sage realm when it controlled the corpse of the star colossus. However, its body would become even more tyrannical than Ye Xiwen's with the aid of the star colossus if it- itself could progress to the initial stage of half- step Great Sage realm. And, it could contend against the experts of initial stage of Great Sage realm at that time. However, it was easier said than done. The blood slave wouldn't need to enter the Great Sage realm. However, half-step Great Sage realm still had those two words in it — 'Great' and 'Sage'. So, it was still very challenging. Fortunately, the blood slave didn't have to face any realm-barrier. Therefore, the task could be accomplished as long as the rate of absorption was accelerated. "Anyway, I've shaken off this guy for now!" Ye Xiwen ignored the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo as he continued to roar in the background. Ye Xiwen then rushed inside. "Brother, please wait for a moment!" a crisp yet elegant voice came from behind. Ye Xiwen turned around to see an approximately 20 years old woman. Her skin was as fair as snow. Her eyes looked like pools of limpid autumn water as they flickered like the stars in the sky. Her fine black hair hung over her shoulder, and an ivory-silk long skirt outlined her graceful body. In addition, she had draped another water-colored slim-fit robe which had embroidery of light-cyan threads at the collar and cuffs. She wore a pair of shoes which were also cyan in colour. And, each of those shoes had a light-pink lotus embroidered over them. The lotuses looked prominent yet elegant. Ye Xiwen frowned as he saw that woman slowly emerging from the void. He also became a bit vigilant since he had discovered that this woman possessed the strength of Sage Great Perfection realm. In fact, she was no less than King Tai. "What's the matter?" Ye Xiwen asked. "Please forgive this younger sister for being presumptuous. This younger sister is Ding Tong. I've just seen your outstanding might. Even a Great Sage expert was unable to deal with you. I would like to invite you to join our team!" the woman, Ding Tong, faintly smiled and replied. "You saw that?" Ye Xiwen frowned, and looked at Ding Tong. His eyes flashed a few times. He suddenly became vigilant in his heart. The Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo couldn't come here. However, it didn't mean that no one from the Dominating Heaven Dojo could come here. There were a lot of experts in the Dominating Heaven Dojo. Some of them had even reached Sage Accomplished Realm. And, he believed that those Sage Accomplished Level experts wouldn't let him off if they found him. In fact, they wouldn't rest until they had hunted him down. The experts of Sage Accomplished realm weren't as powerful as the experts of Great Sage realm. However, Ye Xiwen still couldn't contend against them unless he took out the blood slave while it was controlling the star colossus. However, he reckoned that the blood slave would get affected by the Great Gas Collar if he took it out here. It would then get ganged up and destroyed by his enemies. After all, the Great Gas Collar didn't allow anyone with the strength above the sage realm to enter its boundaries. Ye Xiwen would still manage to escape. However, it would be very troublesome. "Don't misunderstand me. We and the Dominating Heavens Dojo aren't together. In fact, we don't even belong to the Great Gas City!" Ding Tong explained. She was afraid that Ye Xiwen had misunderstood her. After all, she had seen him escaping from the hands of the Lord of the Dominating Heaven Dojo just now. She clearly knew how much the difference between sage realm and Great Sage realm was. However, Ye Xiwen had escaped from the hands of a Great Sage expert. So, he had to be a famous person. In fact, he had to be a top-player in the sage realm. Moreover, it was also clear that Ye Xiwen was a fierce person. Therefore, it would be very bad for her if she messed up and he misunderstood her for a disciple of the Dominating Heaven Dojo. "Our team isn't from the River Shore Star Field. We have come from another star field. We have arrived at Great Gas Collar in order to make some profit. Would you like to join us?" Ding Tong asked. Ye Xiwen raised his eyebrows. He was very familiar with the method of such small groups. There was advantage as well as disadvantage in joining them. The advantage was that it would be safer to operate in a group of people inside the Great Gas Collar. However, the disadvantage was that that one might die if the other group members had evil intentions. However, Ye Xiwen didn't care about this. Even an expert of Sage Accomplished realm couldn't stop him from escaping. Anyway, he hadn't gotten the time to collect information regarding the Great Gas Collar because of King Tai. So, he could also obtain some information by joining this team. Ye Xiwen nodded after he had thought this, "Very well then!" (To be continued)

Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga The two individuals didn't hesitate, and flew towards the depths of the Great Gas Collar after Ye Xiwen had agreed. "I have invited you so presumptuously because there's a tomb in the depths of the Great Gas Collar. It is said that this place contains a secret that can help a sage expert to enter the Great Sage Realm!" Ding Tong explained. Ye Xiwen raised his eyebrows. A bright light glittered in his eyes. The sage realm was an extravagant hope for the majority of experts. However, every sage expert wanted to enter the Great Sage Realm. Sage experts could merely defend themselves in the starry space. However, Great Sage experts were considered the powerhouses of the starry space. In fact, they were capable enough of reigning over a region. The Great Sage Realm could be attained easily by the experts of Sage Great Perfection Realm and Sage Accomplished Realm. However, the star field was like a natural barrier. So, it was much more difficult to make the breakthrough into the Great Sage realm in the star field as compared to on a planet. The promotion from the legendary realm to the sage realm could be said to cause the transformation of body. However, the promotion from sage realm to Great Sage realm led to the transformation of soul by this analogy. And, this transformation would be completed only after one had entered the Great Sage realm. "However, many people have obtained this news. So, a chaotic fight between exceptional heroes is imminent. Therefore, we hoped to find as many experts as possible for support!" Ding Tong said. Ye Xiwen nodded. Countless people would have gone crazy if there was indeed a method to enter the Great Sage realm. Moreover, those who have dared to enter the Great Gas Collar are undoubtedly super- experts of the sage realm. And, all of them would love to enter Great Sage realm. "It is said that someone had obtained this treasure the last time this Great Gas Collar had opened. And, that person reached the Great Sage realm very quickly after going out of the Great Gas Collar!" Ding Tong added. "Therefore, many experts would be arriving for this secret this time! "In fact, our team also has a lot of experts. I hope Brother Ye will join hands with me in the fight when the time comes!" Ding Tong glanced at Ye Xiwen with her sparkling eyes, and said. Ye Xiwen suddenly felt that something wasn't right. [What kind of a situation is this? This Ding Tong obviously doesn't trust the people of her own group. Moreover, she wants an outsider like me to join her in the fight. Isn't it kind of funny?] [It's evident how wary they are of each other. It's no wonder that they've dared to add more people to the group.] Ye Xiwen couldn't help but become more vigilant after having thought this. Ye Xiwen had known that the situation at the Great Gas Collar was going to be complicated. However, it was much more complicated than what he had imagined. He might fall into someone's trap if he were not careful. However, Ye Xiwen didn't think much about it at this time. And, this was probably related to that secret which could help people to enter the Great Sage realm. Ye Xiwen couldn't let this opportunity slip out of his hands. After all, his journey to the Great Sage realm would become much simpler if he managed to obtain this secret. He knew nothing about this so-called secret. Therefore, it would be better for him to follow this team, and obtain some concrete information first. Moreover, those people who might scheme against him must know that he was no fool. Only the time would tell who schemed against whom! "We must not delay in that case. We must rush over there!" Ye Xiwen said. Then, both individuals quickly disappeared into the horizon. Both of them were outstanding experts in the sage realm. It was hard to tell how many miles they had travelled within the blink of an eye. They had arrived inside a mountain valley after about half-a-day's time. The Great Gas Collar was very famous for being a dangerous place. Violent auras of extremely fierce demon beasts could be felt everywhere. They would've had to fight with several beasts if Ye Xiwen hadn't sensed them in advance. Neither of them was afraid of those demon beasts. However, they wanted to avoid needless confrontations since they would've delayed them. The entire Great Gas Collar was full of dangers. It looked like a prehistoric Great Ancient Continent from the fables. Wild auras of demon beasts were lurking everywhere. They were present in large numbers, and had formed a kingdom. This kingdom had an army. It seemed as if it was a country of demon beasts. The situation was very dreadful. They individually couldn't cause a threat to the elite human experts. However, they seemed terrifying when they appeared in groups. "We will wait for them here. Our team had only a few people at first. But, those few people had gone to look for helpers afterwards. And, I happen to be the first one to return among them!" Ding Tong said. "This place is full of demon beasts. This place is more terrifying than a desolate wilderness. Moreover, I have means to escape from an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm when it comes to one-on-one confrontation. However, it will be better to stay as far away as possible from that army of demon beasts!" Ye Xiwen didn't say anything in response. An ordinary person must stay as far as possible from such an army of demon beasts. After all, one individual may be able to fight with ten or even hundred beasts. However, an ordinary expert surely couldn't fight with a thousand demon beasts. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't ordinary. He was capable of fighting with a thousand demon beasts. So, he wasn't afraid of fighting with a huge group even if he was alone. After all, he had 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' to protect his body. So, he could recover from his injuries in an instant using this technique. Moreover, he had already perfected his Tyrant Body to the seventh layer. So, it wasn't that easy to injure him. Ding Tong had keenly noticed Ye Xiwen's silence to her remarks of caution. However, she maintained her composure. After all, it was normal for the powerful experts to be a bit arrogant. Moreover, this person had managed to escape from the hands of a Great Sage expert! She wouldn't have believed that this man who looked like an ordinary expert of the late stage of sage realm had escaped from the hands of a Great Sage expert if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes. In fact, she would've considered it a fairy tale if she had heard about this matter from someone. One would think that Ye Xiwen was unfathomable if they had seen him at that time. One couldn't tell what his background was. Ye Xiwen suddenly wrinkled his brows as he looked into the distance! "A demon beast is peeping on us!" Ye Xiwen coldly smiled and said. "It's acting recklessly!" Ding Tong was left dumbstruck as Ye Xiwen told her this. So, she swept out her divine sense. And, she found a spot in the space to be somewhat strange, and immediately became scared as a result. After all, they were about to gather at this place and a demon beast was spying here. This was a bad omen. It was possible that a force of demon beasts had been keeping watch here, and was planning to launch an ambush after they had come to know that these people were about to gather here. Moreover, it was also be possible that the demon beast which was spying on them was merely a pawn that had arrived here to confirm the news. In any case… it wasn't good news for them. Meanwhile, Ye Xiwen was about to attack. "Bang!" Suddenly, the entire sky began to tremble, and cracks opened up in the space. Startling divine beams surged down from the sky. Then, those enormous and powerful beams bombarded at that spot in the space. "Aah!" a scream sounded, and a demon beast fell down from the void. It had been blasted into two halves by the direct bombardment. Two figures came from afar treading on flying lights immediately after that. They had made a flashy entrance. They seemed to have travelled several hundred miles. Ye Xiwen condensed the Real Elemental Energy in his eyes, and saw through the light that had filled the entire sky. He saw the figures of a man and a woman. The man stood in front. His imposing aura appeared like a mighty tide. He looked impressive, and his outstanding appearance seemed heroic. He possessed a kind of innate outstanding bearing. He seemed to be entirely different from a secretive kind of person like Ye Xiwen. They seemed to have two very different styles. A person could tell that this man was powerful by merely looking at him. On the other hand, one had to stay with Ye Xiwen for some time to recognize the extent of his strength. So, this man was entirely different from Ye Xiwen. The woman behind him was exactly the opposite. She wore a red dress that couldn't conceal her perfect figure. In addition, her perfect face carried an alluring and lovely appearance. One would feel a thrill deep in their bones if they shot a glance at her. "Gee, didn't I say that you're too careless, Ding Tong. That demon beast had been observing our meeting spot. What would we have done if Brother Gu Tian hadn't attacked in time and that beast had spread the information?" That alluring red-clothed woman scolded Ding Tong as soon as she arrived. Ye Xiwen shot a glance at Ding Tong, and found that her complexion had darkened. It was clear that she didn't have a good relation with this woman. "This is the helper I've found — Gu Tian. He is currently at Sage Great Perfection level, and is only one step away from entering Sage Accomplished realm. He has arrived at Great Gas Collar in order to make the breakthrough. He will strive for a position among the top ten individuals of Great Gas Building when the time comes!" the charming red-clothed woman looked at that impressive man as she said. "Gee, this wouldn't be the helper that you've found, right? Ding Tong, we're going to that tomb. There shall be dangers everywhere in that place. So, it would be a joke to take along an expert of the late stage of sage realm. He will only get tortured to death over there!" The red-clothed woman shot a glance at Ye Xiwen, and made out his cultivation level. Then, she said somewhat disdainfully. These people were at the Sage Great Perfection realm. Only Ye Xiwen was at the late stage of sage realm. So, he stood out among these people in a way. However, he looked prominently weak to be precise. The experts of late stage of sage realm weren't weak. In fact, they were famous even in the starry space. They could be sent to some remote star fields as ancestors without a problem. However, Ye Xiwen looked very weak in front of these three experts of Sage Great Perfection realm. "There's no problem if he himself gets killed. However, I'm afraid that he will drag us down with him. Do you think that this is a child's play that anyone can come and join?" The red-clothed woman disdainfully looked at Ye Xiwen. She looked deep into his eyes. She had hoped to see him all flustered and exasperated, and flying into a rage. However, she was surprised to see him calm and composed. It seemed that he either didn't mind her words… or had ignored them completely. "Ye Xiwen, this is my comrade, Xiao Yuanyuan!" Ding Tong's complexion soon restored to normal. However, she was unceasingly sneering in her mind. [You will surely come to know who's being funny when you experience how ferocious he is.] "This is the helper I've found — Ye Xiwen!" "This is the helper you've found? It's laughable. He he he he. It would've been better if you had returned empty handed instead of finding someone like this!" Xiao Yuanyuan rudely laughed. However, she realized that she had embarrassed herself because both the people whom she had ridiculed hadn't paid any attention to her. In fact, the way they had ignored her had left her to look like a clown. Consequently, a bitter look flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, another burst of divine rays flashed in the sky, and several figures came over flying. (To be continued)

Ding Tong's voice rang in Ye Xiwen's ears. She had transmitted her voice to Ye Xiwen's brain using a secret sound transmission technique. "He is Yue Rui. He's the core disciple of the famous Seven Luminaries Divine School which is located in the River Shore Star Field!" Ye Xiwen recalled that there was a school of this name in the River Shore Star Field. It was more powerful than the Dominating Heaven Dojo. But, it couldn't be compared with a giant force like the True Martial University. However, it was still a dominant party in the River Shore Star Field. This man's cultivation was as good as Gu Tian's. In fact, it seemed a bit more powerful than his. Ye Xiwen could feel a suppressive force impacting his heart even though this man stood far away. The man carried an arrogant expression on his face. It seemed as if he was disdainfully overlooking the world. Another man arrived immediately after him. He was short in stature, and had prominent features. He looked unusually ugly. However, he was dressed in magnificent snow-white clothes. It seemed as if he was pretending to be an elegant young master… as if a monkey had worn a crown. He looked ridiculous. Moreover, Ye Xiwen noticed that his legs looked weird. That man had concealed his legs well. However, Ye Xiwen had noticed them at a glance. However, Ye Xiwen didn't dare to underestimate him since his vigour and spirit were far more tyrannical than that of the yellow-clothed man. Moreover, his fundamental aura was randomly surging around. This man had already reached the peak of the Sage Great Perfection realm, and was only one step away from entering Sage Accomplished realm. Then, he would become a formidable person who would stand at the top of the sage realm. He also had a blazing and ominous look in his eyes. "This is Gong Yan Jia. He's a major disciple of the Hidden Fantasy Sect. It is a major sect in another star field. He's the strongest among the four of us. However, his temperament is very violent. And, he hates it when people talk about his looks, or call him a cripple. You must also be careful about this!" Ding Tong's voice reverberated in Ye Xiwen's mind. Two men and a woman arrived immediately after them. One of those two men was dressed in a black robe, while the other wore a white robe. Both of them looked skinny, and had wretched facial features. Their appearance was very similar. It was obvious that they were twins. That woman was dressed in a black dress. She had a very cold bearing. It seemed as if she was emitting a chill from her body in order to keep everyone a thousand miles away from her. She appeared to be indifferent towards everyone. "Brother Yue, Brother Gong Yan, how come you're so slow? My junior sister and I have been waiting for you for so long!" the red- clothed woman Xiao Yuan Yuan delicately smiled and said. She-herself had only recently arrived. However, it didn't appear so from her words. "Would you not introduce these three people to us?" "Fufufu… Such a beautiful girl. He he… We, the cultivators of Yin and Yang, had been looking for such a fine 'human cauldron' for a long time, but we couldn't find any!" the white- robed old man among those twins let out an evil laughter as he said. He looked at Xiao Yuan Yuan with an avaricious expression in his eyes. It seemed as if he wanted to swallow her whole. "Tee-hee. Indeed, elder brother!" the black- robed old man also laughed sinisterly. "What do you say, young girl? Marry my elder brother, and I can assure you that you will have the taste of being on the seventh heaven. Your cultivation will also advance by leaps and bounds. Sage Accomplished realm will only be a matter of time for you!" These two old men had started to unscrupulously harass Xiao Yuan Yuan immediately after they had arrived. Ye Xiwen had an incredible insight. So, he had seen through these two old men. [They are probably walking on the path of dual cultivation. However, the evil energy soaring on their bodies makes it evident that they aren't walking on the correct path]. Dual cultivation wasn't some depraved way. Instead, it was an upright and straightforward path of displaying one's strength and discipline. The legend of the Yellow Emperor who had become an immortal overnight by having sex with a hundred females had been passed down for generations. The Daoist teaching also had a proper path of dual cultivation. And, Buddhism had the so-called joyous way of meditation. So, it could clearly be seen that the path of dual cultivation wasn't some corrupt method. The monks paid particular attention to Land, Companion, Principle, and Wealth. Among these, the word 'companion' referred to both mates and friends in one's life. So, it also contains the idea of dual cultivation within. However, every cultivator of dual cultivation path wasn't decent and righteous. There were many corrupt cultivators as well. Their dishonest ways would improve upon using this cultivation method. It also helped them in getting faster results. On the other hand, the honest and straightforward path of dual cultivation was all about long-term approach. Moreover, both the parties involved could benefit from it. On the contrary, the evil way of dual cultivation was often predatory in nature. One party would be withered to death after their primary essence had been entirely plundered by another party. These two men were clearly the dual cultivators of the evil way. In fact, one could tell that they weren't good people just by looking at them. Ye Xiwen carefully looked at Xiao Yuan Yuan once again. He found that she was an owner of the so-called inborn charming bone. This kind of constitution wasn't commonly seen in humans. This physique was very suitable for walking on the path of dual cultivation. One would make a rapid progress no matter whether they followed the correct way of cultivation or the evil way of cultivation. This method was outstanding. It was no wonder that these two old men were this interested in Xiao Yuan Yuan. After all, the rapid progress of their evil cultivation would no longer be a fantasy if they could use her as a human cauldron. However, Xiao Yuan Yuan wasn't aware of their ulterior motives. She only thought that they were old perverts. So, she looked at them in a very disgusted way. "Fu*k off, you old motherfu*kers!" Xiao Yuan Yuan became furious. She took a valiant stance, and didn't show even a trace of weakness. "It will be better if the both of you behave yourself. Otherwise, I won't mind killing a few people in advance!" Gu Tian stepped out and warned those two old men. He was the helper whom Xiao Yuan Yuan had brought along. He was a discerning person who could easily see their intentions for Xiao Yuan Yuan. And, he couldn't let those old men do whatever they wanted. "Kill us? Fufu… Pretty boy, you're very courageous!" The white-robed old man stared maliciously at Gu Tian and said. "A bunch of ugly freaks!" Gu Tian retorted disdainfully. His voice hadn't faded when a shrill sound of breaking of space was heard. A figure suddenly arrived in front of him, and threw a kick at him. "Bang!" The kick carried the impact of the end of the world. It formed a huge picture of the end of the world, and swept towards Gu Tian to shroud him. The air in the entire surrounding area froze. It was a scary sight. However, Gu Tian's reaction wasn't slow either. His cultivation of Sage Great Perfection realm wasn't just for show. He shouted loudly, and his hands criss-crossed in order to resist the attack. "Bang!" The entire space sunk by that kick which had come straight from the end of the world. A sound of 'crunch' was heard immediately-afterwards. Gu Tian let out a stuffed groan, and got blown away. He then spouted a mouthful of blood. His hands softly hung down since they had been mangled by that kick. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths. They were stunned as they saw the scene before their eyes. All of them were proud and arrogant experts. However, they became scared as soon as they saw this scene. Gu Tian's strength wasn't lacking. He was a top expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm. However, both of his hands had been broken by a single kick. The tyrannical strength of this kick had made them scared. At this time, that figure finally emerged. It turned out to be Gong Yan Jia. His expression looked ice-cold as he looked at Gu Tian with his gloomy and cold eyes. Then, he tightly pursed up his lips and said, "Pretty boy, I will trample you to death if you make such irresponsible remarks next time!" His voice sounded husky. Everyone was startled because of what had happened just now. It seemed as if a wild demon had crawled out of hell. Gu Tian's face flushed with embarrassment. He forcibly suppressed the injuries to his body, and stood up. His vision had turned gloomy and cold. He had never come across such a difficult situation. He had always been considered a heaven's pride expert. He had been treated as a treasure worth protecting. He had never been kicked by someone so pathetically. "Crunch!" "Crunch!" Gu Tian's broken hands suddenly recovered under his treatment. However, his complexion had turned ashen. He had realized that this man before his eyes wasn't an easy person to deal with. He looked lame. However, he was an exceptionally ominous person. Ye Xiwen had finally understood what Ding Tong had meant by 'violent temperament' after Gu Tian had called Gong Yan Jia 'an ugly freak'. All individuals in this team were handsome men and beautiful women. Ye Xiwen wasn't exceptionally handsome. However, he was far from ugly. Only Gong Yan Jia and those two old men behind him could be considered ugly. However, Gong Yan Jia's reaction was far too violent! Apparently, he cared very much about his physical defect. In layman's language, the more a person cares about something… the less they have of it! The more a person cares about his appearance… the uglier they look. So, one must keep on experimenting with their looks. Also, a person tends to spend less of their money if they care too much about it. "Ye Xiwen, each of these people are cruel and rebellious. Each of them is more arrogant and despotic than the other. They are a group of scoundrels. All of them have evil intentions. Are you sure you want to collaborate with these people?" Ye Mo's voice reverberated in Ye Xiwen's mind. Ye Xiwen smiled and replied, "I wouldn't mind working with a group of devils as long as they provided me enough assistance. Anyhow, these people are only a little cruel and untamed. That's all. Who doesn't want to look domineering nowadays?" Xiao Yuan Yuan was also looking at Gong Yan Jia with an ugly expression on her face. The graceful expression had vanished from her face. She was the one who had found Gu Tian. So, she had obviously lost her reputation. She might appear as a frivolous woman with no real depth in her character. However, she obviously had self-respect and pride since she was an expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm. "Fufufu… I told you this pretty boy is useless. However, you can still throw yourself into this old man's arms. I assure you that I will take you to the seventh heaven!" the white-robed old man laughed, and said. There was a sinister expression on his face. Xiao Yuan Yuan's complexion turned ugly. However, she ignored the two wretched old men. "Next, I want to make a declaration!" Gong Yan Jia swept his ice-cold vision across everyone, and said in his usual husky voice, "I shall be leading this group. All of you must listen and obey my commands. Who approves? Who opposes?" Everyone was taken aback. They obviously hadn't expected this. The original members of the team like Yue Rui and Ding Tong were also shocked. (To be continued)

They hadn't thought that Gong Yan Jia would declare his intention to lead them. Everyone was left dumbstruck. [Is he insane? He is indeed very strong. However, other people in the team are also the experts of Sage Great Perfection realm. But, he wants to control everyone. Is he insane or what?] "You're insane, you cripple!" nobody had said anything until now. Gu Tian was the first one to respond. He and Gong Yan Jia had already become enemies. So, he didn't need to be afraid of anything now. Gong Yan Jia stared at Gu Tian with his knife-like vision. His eyes conveyed a simply message. [You don't approve? Then, get ready for a brutal fight.] "Our team contains people from various places. And, everyone's strength is nearly the same. There is a saying 'A bird without wings cannot fly, and a snake without head cannot crawl'. Anyway, one of us must step up, and lead us in a certain direction. Otherwise, there will be a clash of opinions if there's no leader!" Yue Rui opened his mouth this time, and said. He hadn't anticipated that Gong Yan Jia would say such a thing at this time. However, he and Gong Yan Jia had a certain amount of mutual understanding between them. Therefore, he was in favour of Gong Yan Jia's proposal. But, the complexions of Ding Tong and Xiao Yuan Yuan didn't look good. They were already in the weak position among the four original members. Now, Gong Yan Jia and Yue Rui had joined hands. So, it wasn't surprising that Yue Rui and Gong Yan Jia had gone out together and returned together as well. Unfortunately, the two girls had very bad relations with each other. So, it was impossible for them to join hands to veto out the decision of the two male members of the team. "Brother Ye, do you now understand why I had told you that we must stick together?" Ye Xiwen heard Ding Tong's voice at this time. Ye Xiwen nodded. They might get swallowed if they didn't stick close together under this situation. "Nobody has opposed. So, I'll regard it as everyone's approval!" Gong Yan Jia swept his dark and cold gaze across everyone. Everyone felt as if a wild beast was staring at them. Ye Xiwen could be called a 'humanoid monster' because of his off-the-charts fighting strength. However, Gong Yan Jia had made everyone feel that he was a beast draped in a man's skin. His sinister and ice-cold look had given everyone the chills. Then, everyone came to know from Yue Rui's introduction that these two old men whom Gong Yan Jia had brought were known as Yin and Yang Brothers. It was said that they were very infamous in a certain star field. It wasn't known how many women they had harmed. They used to plunder women's primary essences for their cultivation. So, it could be said that they were two very cruel people. They used to look for female experts for their cultivation. Many young female experts in that star field had fallen into the evil schemes of these two old bastards. The primary essences of men were useless to them. Therefore, they used to plunder only female experts. It wasn't known how many people had raised their voices against them, and had gotten killed for it. They had once alarmed a senior Great Sage expert. However, they had gotten informed about him in advance, and had escaped. The name of other black-clothed ice-cold woman was Mo Zhen. She was a core disciple of a women-only sect. She was outstanding. "Fufu, boy you are only at the late stage of sage realm. But, you've still dared to join this group. You're very courageous. However, you'll become a burden on us when the time comes!" The black-robed Old Yin among the Yin and Yang Brothers laughed sinisterly at Ye Xiwen after their introductions had been made. Everyone was at the same level… apart from Ye Xiwen whom Ding Tong had brought. Therefore, everyone was suspecting whether Ye Xiwen had the capability to be one of them. An expert of the late stage of sage realm couldn't be considered as weak. But, the said-expert couldn't be compared with these experts of Sage Great Perfection realm. Therefore, saying that he would drag them down wasn't wrong. In fact, it was very logical. "I will test him right away, ok? I will kill him right now if he has insufficient strength!" the white-robed Old Yang spoke loudly, and looked into Ye Xiwen's eyes. His gaze became increasingly ice-cold and ruthless. The white-robed Old Yang's voice hadn't even faded when a majestic aura suddenly locked on Ye Xiwen. Then, a big hand suddenly swept down towards Ye Xiwen to grab him. It transformed into a sky full of clouds, and slammed down. This was his famous master-technique — the 'Yin and Yang Big Hand Seal'. A killer hand came down, and it seemed that it wouldn't give Ye Xiwen any way out. He and Ye Xiwen had no enmity. Still, he had resorted to such an extreme method against him. It was clear that his weird temperament wasn't just for show. Suddenly, a white Yin and Yang fish opened its big mouth, and swam towards Ye Xiwen to bite him. Then, the white Yin and Yang fish transformed into a fierce beast. Spirit energies gathered from all directions, and integrated into its body. The white-robed Old Yang had the experience of several hundred years. So, he had practiced this Yin and Yang Big Hand Seal to an unfathomable extent. It seemed that it would break the entire world as it smashed down. "You're overreaching yourself!" Ye Xiwen sneered. His entire golden vitality surged out, and began to boil. It soared into the sky, and a fist punched upwards. The fist transformed into a big star, and dashed up. The Yin and Yang fish had transformed into the 'Yin-Yang Symbol'. It seemed like the most intense collision in the universe when the 'Yin-Yang Symbol' issued an incomparably dreadful explosion. The entire space and the 'Yin-Yang Symbol' had gotten annihilated in that explosion. However, the momentum of Ye Xiwen's fist hadn't decrease after it had pounded upon that white Yin and Yang fish. "Bang!" The explosion rose high up in the sky, transformed into endless spirit energies, and scattered in the atmosphere. Ye Xiwen trod forward at an extraordinary pace. His fist had arrived in front of the white- robed Old Yang. "This is bad!" the white-robed Old Yang secretly muttered. However, there was no time to regret. So, he quickly retreated in frenzy. "Rumble!" Ye Xiwen's fist smashed down on the valley, and the entire valley disintegrated. The rest of the people promptly retreated far away from the range of impact. They had a conflicted look on their faces as they looked at Ye Xiwen. Nobody had thought that Ye Xiwen could be so ferocious. Ding Tong was the one who had found him. However, even she hadn't thought that he could be so incredible. After all, she had only seen him escaping from the hands of a Great Sage expert and nothing more. She had roped him in because she was looking for a person with excellent agility skill. She had thought that it would be rather convenient if someone were to aid her in quick exploration when the time was right. However, she had suddenly seen that Ye Xiwen didn't merely possess an excellent agility skill. In fact, his strength was also very impressive. Everyone had a newfound respect for him. An ordinary person could never possess such awesome strength. And, they certainly couldn't issue such a powerful move. She had never thought that Ye Xiwen could have such strength. The white-robed Old Yang had retreated. However, Ye Xiwen wasn't going to let him off. That old man had attacked with all of his strength. He hadn't held back even a bit. So, how could Ye Xiwen spare him? "Yin and Yang body protection, endless chaos, eternal existence!" White-robed Old Yang's Yin and Yang fish suddenly transformed into a 'Yin and Yang Symbol', and wrapped him up. The black-robed Old Yin proudly looked at everyone and said, "This is the super technique of us brothers who follow the path of Yin and Yang. It is known as 'Primal Chaos of Yin and Yang'. All livings things will transform into the energy of Yin and Yang along with any form of energy that breaks into the field. And then, it will be absorbed. So, it's impossible to budge us!" Everyone felt dreaded when they heard this. They pondered on this matter. [How would we break out if we encountered this kind of Yin and Yang field?] Everyone frowned since they didn't have any means to escape the field. In fact, it was very difficult to deal with the worldly forces related to chaos, such as Yin and Yang, the five elements, and so on. The reason for this was that such forces often flowed in the form of an unending stream. "What's so great about this Yin and Yang of yours? Watch how I destroy it!" Ye Xiwen was unfazed. His offensive didn't halt even a bit. There was nothing fancy about his attack. In fact, he hadn't used any special move. He had simply unleashed a dreadful attack with sheer brute power. This was the crudest attack. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's big star collided with that Yin and Yang based attack, and it almost began to transform into Yin and Yang energy. In fact, it seemed as if it was evolving toward a more advanced grade of power. "Bang!" But then, that Yin and Yang based attack began to explode in the face of Ye Xiwen's fierce offensive, and set off a dreadful storm. "How is this possible? Nobody can tackle my Yin and Yang technique. How did you do it?" The white-robed Old Yang had a look of disbelief in his eyes as he gazed at Ye Xiwen. He couldn't believe that Ye Xiwen possessed such ability. His Yin and Yang power had emerged out of the dual cultivation. Many people looked down on it. However, it was a very clever kind of martial arts. Yin and Yang together contained the principles of all living things. He could possibly become a Great Sage expert if he continued to practice the Yin-Yang method. He had fought with many people who were at the same realm as him. However, nobody had been successful at cracking it… let alone cracking it so easily. "What Yin and Yang technique? Is your Yin and Yang evenly balanced?" Ye Xiwen said disdainfully. It would have been an enormous trouble for him if he had been facing the Yin and Yang Brothers together. However, the white-robed Old Yang had been relying only on the principle of transforming Yang into Yin. He had transformed a part of his Yang power into Yin polarity. However, the powers of Yin and Yang poles weren't in equilibrium. The power of Yang pole was still more powerful. It was simply impossible to form the balance between Yin and Yang with this creation method. Basically, it only appeared powerful. The white-robed Old Yang hadn't met a unique and exceptionally powerful expert like Ye Xiwen before. Ye Xiwen's offensive effortlessly broke the white-robed Old Yang's attack. So, he had started to think about retreating since he was on the verge of death. However, Ye Xiwen's power locked him firmly on the spot. So, he couldn't go anywhere. "Stop!" The black-robed Old Yin finally reacted. After all, he couldn't let Ye Xiwen proceed with his attack. Suddenly, an extremely pure power of Yin polarity swept out towards Ye Xiwen. It seemed that it would stop him. However, how could it be so easy to stop Ye Xiwen? "Bang!" Ye Xiwen's fist power hadn't lost its momentum. So, it finally smashed on the white-robed Old Yang's body. "Bang!" The white-robed Old Yang's body disintegrated before everyone's eyes. "Brother!" the black-robed Old Yin screamed loudly. (To be continued)

33 comments, join in Chapter 552: My God, How Can He Be So Powerful? Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga "Brother!" tears of blood came out of the eyes of the black-robed Old Yin as he screamed. These two brothers had been roaming unhindered for many years. They had been inseparable. So, he had never expected that he would have to helplessly watch his brother explode to death one day. And, this feeling had simply torn his heart apart. Ye Xiwen stretched out his left hand. It then turned into a claw. And, that claw conveniently grabbed the mighty power of the Yin polarity that had been falling down, and crushed it. It didn't matter whether it was the power of extreme Yin polarity or extreme Yang polarity. Ye Xiwen would give it no importance if there wasn't a proper balance between the Yin and Yang forces. "My God, how can he be so powerful?" Xiao Yuan Yuan stared blankly at Ye Xiwen. Her eyes contained a terrified expression. She had never thought that Ye Xiwen could be so powerful. She and Ding Tong were sworn enemies. Therefore, she had made fun of Ye Xiwen whom Ding Tong had brought along. However, she hadn't thought that he could be so powerful. And, she was extremely shocked as a result. She hadn't been this surprised when that cripple Gong Yan Jia had attacked. He had certainly gained the upper hand while confronting Gu Tian. However, both of them belonged to the same realm. And, it was normal to have a strong person and a weak person in the same realm. However, Ye Xiwen had killed that white- robed Old Yang even though Ye Xiwen was merely at the late stage of sage realm. In fact, he had dominated him thoroughly. And, that white-robed Old Yang didn't even have the power to fight back in the end. These Yin and Yang brothers had to unite in order to display their supreme might. However, it was impossible now. Yue Rui and the other people had also become afraid after they had found out how powerful Ye Xiwen was. It could be clearly seen that they had been blown away by Ye Xiwen's incredible fighting strength. He had pushed them in a bigger shock as compared to Gong Yan Jia. "I'll kill you!" The black-robed Old Yin stared at Ye Xiwen with bloodshot eyes. It seemed that he wanted to tear him into two halves. A predominantly black Yin and Yang fish boiled in his hand. It then rushed towards Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen sneered. He was about to deal with this black-robed Old Yin when a divine beam fell from the sky, and enveloped that black Yin and Yang fish. Everyone stared blankly. The man who had shot that beam turned out to be the cripple — Gong Yan Jia. His eyes looked dark and ice- cold as he said in his husky voice, "This matter ends here. The entire team must follow my commands from now on. Didn't I tell you not to violate my order?" Gong Yan Jia looked into Ye Xiwen's eyes. His gaze was brimming with anger. However, it contained a bit of jealousy as well. He hadn't attacked Ye Xiwen recklessly since he had also become somewhat afraid of him. He had been taken aback by Ye Xiwen's recent performance. In fact, he was no longer sure that he would be able to defeat Ye Xiwen. Therefore, he hadn't attacked. He had connived with the white-robed Old Yang to launch a big attack on Ye Xiwen. He had planned to take him down using the Old Yang's brute strength. After all, he knew that everyone in this team had ulterior motives. So, he had planned to attack Ye Xiwen in order to overwhelm the others. However, he had clearly understood that he had made a blunder. There were many things that weren't as smooth as he imagined them to be. The white-robed Old Yang had died at the hands of Ye Xiwen. But, he couldn't let the black-robed Old Yin die in a similar fashion. After all, he would lose his prestige if that happened. "He has killed my brother!" The eyes of the black-robed Old Yin were wide open. He hadn't thought that he would lose his brother in this fight. His heart was full of hatred for Ye Xiwen. However, he couldn't understand that the problem lay with him and his brother. After all, they wouldn't have kicked an iron wall like Ye Xiwen if they hadn't been so arrogant and despotic. In fact, this represented the saying 'you reap what you sow'. "Awesome. Gee. I couldn't have imagined that a character like you would be hidden among us. You're an elusive talent. The universe is so big, and it's full of wonderful things!" Yue Rui stepped forward to resolve the dispute. "A man like Brother Ye is involved in our operation this time. So, our operation will certainly go smoothly. No harm will come our way!" Yue Rui continued. The black-robed Old Yin didn't behave arrogantly towards Ye Xiwen this time. This represented the so-called saying 'One shows their arrogance towards those who aren't as powerful as them'. After all, one must maintain their so-called dignity. The black-robed Old Yin couldn't be arrogant while dealing with an expert like Ye Xiwen. Otherwise, it would be too bad for him if Ye Xiwen misunderstood him and got provoked. Moreover, he had also witnessed Ye Xiwen's ruthless side by now. So, he didn't wish to confront Ye Xiwen directly. The black-robed Old Yin swept his gaze across everyone. Ding Tong would definitely stand on Ye Xiwen's side. Xiao Yuan Yuan had also become furious with him and his brother a moment ago. Gu Tian had been blown away by his boss Gong Yan Jia. So, he wouldn't help him either. Gong Yan Jia could be considered to be on his side, but he didn't seem to be interested in collaborating against Ye Xiwen. He could guess what these people were thinking at the moment. Each of them was selfish, and had personal ambitions. So, why would they agree to take the risk of testing out Ye Xiwen's true strength in order to avenge his brother? Moreover, who would cry for them if they got slaughtered by Ye Xiwen? He knew that he was no match for Ye Xiwen without their help. His strength was almost the same as that of his brother's. And, Ye Xiwen had made his brother retreat again and again. His brother had been comprehensively defeated. In fact, his brother had been killed in only one move. The black-robed Old Yin wasn't much better than his brother. The two brothers could have contended against Ye Xiwen if they had joined hands against him. But, how could they possibly join hands now? Therefore, he could only clench his teeth and glare at Ye Xiwen. He had to forcibly make himself give up the idea of attacking Ye Xiwen. However, he had developed a deep hatred for Ye Xiwen in his heart. He would certainly not think twice before attacking Ye Xiwen if he got the right opportunity. He hated all these people as well. After all, his brother would still be alive if they had tried to save him instead of sitting back and watching him die. Ye Xiwen coldly looked at everyone. He had understood that each person in this team had ulterior motives. In fact, it was difficult to understand how such a team had been formed in the first place. He could trust Ding Tong; and only slightly at that. However, he believed that the other people would turn against him as soon as they got the opportunity. In fact, they wouldn't even think twice about it. "All of us want to go to the tomb because there might be some secret regarding advancing to the Great Sage realm at that place. However, there's no need to harm friends!" Yue Rui pretended to be a good man, and said. It would be difficult to figure what kind of person was behind his 'goody two shows persona' if one hadn't seen the arrogance on his face earlier. "We shouldn't delay in that case. It would be better if we got there quickly!" Ye Xiwen said. "What are you so desperate about? The tomb wouldn't have opened yet!" Gong Yan Jia's hoarse voice revealed a contemptuous tone. It was clear that he was making fun of Ye Xiwen's lack of knowledge. However, Ye Xiwen didn't get angry. After all, he indeed didn't know anything about this matter. So, it would be better if he followed other people for now. "There must be layer upon layer of matrix formations outside the tomb. A large number of experts must have arrived there already. They may have brought the masters of matrix formations along with them. We don't need to attack the matrix formations. We must wait until those experts and masters have broken them down. We will take advantage of the confusion once those matrix formations are down, and we will enter without making any delay!" Gong Yan Jia said, "A large number of experts must have arrived this time, and many of them should be at the Sage Accomplished level. They could get mixed among the ordinary experts, and launch a surprise attack. Therefore, we must stay united. You must obey my orders. Otherwise, we will be defeated when the time comes. So, don't blame me for being strict!" Gong Yan Jia was looking at Ye Xiwen as he said. Clearly, what he had said was directed at Ye Xiwen. After all, Ye Xiwen was the only one among these people whose ambitions he couldn't see through. Moreover, he had become a bit scared after he had witnessed Ye Xiwen's power. He was confident that he could deal with most of these people. But, there was one person who might not obey him. And, that individual was this extremely powerful, untamed, domineering, and violent man — Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen showed neither approval nor disapproval. He remained quiet. After all, he would look for an opportunity to get away from this group when the time would come. And, stay united? It was all bullshit! Anyone could tell that these people could never unite. Gong Yan Jia had urged them to stay united in order to stop them from turning against each other. And, this was probably a good strategy for now. Ye Xiwen wouldn't think of destroying this unity under normal conditions. However, Gong Yan Jia had better not blame Ye Xiwen for being strict if the former tried to treat him as cannon fodder. "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" Gong Yan Jia hadn't finished criticizing Ye Xiwen when the roars of demon beasts reverberated in the surroundings. Black clouds filled the entire sky, and waves of evil wind appeared like wailing ghosts and howling wolves. Countless tyrannical figures of hill-sized demon beasts appeared in front of everyone. Everyone's complexion suddenly changed. They were surrounded by an army of demon beasts. One must know that the most dangerous entities in the Great Gas Collar were these demon beasts. Nobody had been able to wipe out these demon beats in all these years. The formidable ones among them had even formed a country of demon beasts. There wasn't any difference between them and the humans… apart from their appearance. The most ferocious ones among them were the so-called 'commander beasts' and 'soldier beasts'. An ordinary person would have a hard time escaping if they came across them. These demon beasts were very cunning. In fact, the old demon beasts that had been living for thousands of years were as intelligent as humans; if not more. They had gathered as an army in order to chase and kill these human experts who had entered the Great Gas Collar. These demon beasts were much more organized as compared to the unorganized experts in Ye Xiwen's team and all the other experts who had arrived from the River Shore Star Field and many other star fields. And, this organized army of demon beasts was a deadly threat. An ordinary person would have to struggle in order to escape if they came across these demon beasts. "Damn it! How have these demon beasts found us?" Yue Rui couldn't maintain his elegant demeanour this time, and secretly cursed. Ye Xiwen, Gu Tian, Xiao Yuan Yuan, and Ding Tong immediately recalled that demon beast who had been spying on them. They had killed it. However, they didn't know that it had managed to send the information which had attracted such a big army of demon beasts. (To be continued)

36 comments, join in Chapter 553: Why is He So Powerful? Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Countless tyrannical demon beasts had been lurking in the Great Gas Collar. And, it would be the most dreadful thing when they'd assembled and form an army. Ye Xiwen looked at the battle formation of the demon beasts. The majority of these demon beasts were at the semi-sage realm. Some more powerful and adult ones were at the sage realm. Such an army was terrifying from a general perspective. Hardly anyone could deal with this army. "Humans, you must surrender obediently and become my slaves. I may spare your life if you do so!" a buzzing voice came from the army of the demon beasts. It sounded somewhat hoarse and shaky. It seemingly sounded a bit shaky because they weren't used to talking in the human tongue. "This army is being led by a demon commander!" Yue Rui frowned and said. However, he looked somewhat relaxed. After all, it was much better to have a demon commander leading the army than a demon king. It didn't matter how powerful a demon commander was. It could at most be at the Sage Great Perfection level. However, a demon king in the Great Gas Collar could even be at the Sage Accomplished realm. They might get an opportunity to escape if they were to come across such a large army of demon-beasts or a Sage Accomplished level demon king. However, they wouldn't stand a chance if they had to face both of them together. However, Ye Xiwen could escape from the hands of a Great Sage expert. So, he wasn't much concerned. In fact, everyone had become relaxed after they had realized that it was only a demon commander who was leading this army. "The demons have arrived. Everyone must get ready to execute them!" Gong Yan Jia sneered. What kind of arrogance did he possess? He wanted to command these experts in order to attain the supreme throne in the team. So, how could he surrender to these demon beasts? It was impossible. His voice hadn't faded when his leg suddenly stepped out. It transformed into boundless wind and clouds, and stamped down. "Bang!" A large number of demon beasts got crushed to death. The space got trampled down by his leg. Gong Yan Jia's tyrannical power was simply incredible. His cripple- looking leg was his weak point. But, it was also his biggest weapon. He had transformed his defective leg into a sage tool. So, it possessed endless might, and was extremely terrifying. It was no wonder that Gu Tian hadn't been able to stop his kick, and had been sent flying. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons for it was that there was a difference in their strengths. However, the main reason was the infinite might that his leg had obtained after being transformed into a sage tool. "The troubles keep coming one after another!" Ye Xiwen frowned. It could be said that there were endless troubles in the Great Gas Collar. However, he didn't have any other option at this time. He had to go all out, and slaughter these demon beasts. In fact, it wasn't only Gong Yan Jia. Even the others weren't ready to withdraw. They all attacked one after another. They were outstanding people. They wouldn't surrender to anyone; let alone to these demon beasts. These Sage Great Perfection level experts had attacked with their entire strength. How could those semi-sage level demon beasts stop their attacks? Even the sage level demon beasts in that group screamed as they got crushed to death one after another. "Damn it humans… you don't listen until you've been forced. Kill them for me, my children. Their flesh and blood will be a treat for us!" The demon commander's flustered, and an exasperated command came from the middle of the army of the demon beasts. It believed that it was giving these humans a chance to live. Therefore, it hadn't expected that these humans would dare injure his children by disregarding his mercy. Suddenly, the densely packed army of demon beasts rushed towards the human team in an overwhelming manner. And, a myriad of demonic martial arts were unleashed towards the human experts to kill them. These demon beasts couldn't match with these outstanding experts individually. However, they were marching in formation at this time. So, they were able to firmly resist the attacks of these outstanding experts. Yue Rui and the other people could only unceasingly evade while facing this joint attack that consisted of various demonic martial arts. They didn't dare to get close. However, Ye Xiwen didn't have time to care about other people. Countless densely packed demon beasts were rushing towards him. A storm of demon beasts was rushing towards him along with waves of demon wind. Countless martial arts transformed into demonic beams, and swept out towards him. Ye Xiwen didn't dare to delay. He promptly started to operate the 'Observing Person Scripture' inside his body. Then, two hammer- like fists transformed into two big stars, and smashed down. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Pitiful screams were heard every time Ye Xiwen's hammer-like fists pounded. They were accompanied by explosions of flesh and blood. Ye Mo was busy enjoying himself inside Ye Xiwen's body. After all, the blood essences and inner cores of these demon beasts were being absorbed by the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. Consequently, the mirror was becoming more and more powerful with each passing second. Its aura was also becoming more and more pure and smooth. Apparently, it was advancing towards an amazing transformation. It had to move ahead one step in order to transform into a great sage tool from a sage tool. It would be able to crush these demon beasts effortlessly once it had completed the transformation. The difference between a sage tool and great sage tool was same as the difference between a sage expert and Great Sage expert... It was like the difference between cloud and mud… or heaven and Earth. A great sage tool's full strength attack was almost equal to a great sage expert's full strength attack. It wouldn't matter how tyrannical the army of these sage level demon beasts was if they were attacked with a great sage tool; they would be obliterated without exception. However, a huge amount of energy was required in order to complete the transformation. And, it would take a lot of time to gather that much energy. Ye Xiwen was fighting with his entire strength since those demon beasts were way too many. He wasn't worried about defending himself or exhausting his entire 'Real Elemental Energy'. However, other people were. Ding Tong was fighting with a sage level demon beast. It was a terrifying expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm. She was unceasingly swallowing spirit dans for replenishing her 'Real Elemental Energy'. However, she still wasn't able to keep up with the energy consumption required for facing the full strength attacks of this Sage Great Perfection level expert. The attack of a Sage Great Perfection level expert would certainly be overwhelming. Therefore, the consumption of 'Real Elemental Energy' and 'spirit energies' would be of an astronomical amount. How could she meet this requirement by depending upon her own natural rate of restoration? It was impossible unless she possessed a secret magical technique like the 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' that went against the heaven's will. Ding Tong was attacking with her entire strength, and was swallowing all sorts of spirit dans for replenishing her 'Real Elemental Energy'. However, she was still finding it difficult to hold her own. It was difficult to say who was stronger and who was weaker between a human expert and a demon beast since both of them had strong and weak points. The key was to see who could display their strengths to the peak at a crucial time. Only the one who could display their strength to the peak could defeat their enemy. Ding Tong had ample fighting experience. However, her opponent was more cunning than her. And, it was taking proper advantage of its tyrannical body. In fact, she would've lost a hundred times by now if Ye Xiwen hadn't been helping her from time to time. "Ye Xiwen, the blood essences of these semi- sage and sage level demon beasts aren't enough. You must supply the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' with lots of good-quality blood essences if you want the 'Heavenly Source Mirror' to become a great sage tool. In fact, it should level up very quickly if you kill a few Great Sage level beasts, and let it absorb their whole blood essences!" Ye Mo's voice reverberated in Ye Xiwen's mind. He had absorbed a lot of blood essence and inner cores by now. However, those couldn't be put to use immediately. After all, he had to refine them first. Therefore, one must not look at it as 'the quantity is very huge' because high quantity is directly related to low quality. Therefore, the final result wouldn't be that good. It would be far better to kill a powerful demon beast to get the desired result. Other people would've certainly gotten scared to death if they had heard Ye Mo's idea. Gong Yan Jia had killed many demon beasts under his foot. In fact, he had even crushed a demon commander of Sage Great Perfection level. However, even he wouldn't dare to go deeper into the formation of these beasts. One would be torn to pieces by the countless formidable demon beasts if they went deeper into their formation. However, this was nothing for Ye Xiwen. It was very difficult for those demon beasts to injure him. Moreover, he could insta-heal himself with the help of 'Phoenix Regeneration Technique' even if he sustained injuries. Therefore, this wasn't a problem for him. Ye Xiwen silently thought for a moment. [What? You're asking me to kill a few Great Sage demon beasts? Great Sage demon beasts don't grow on trees. It is very difficult to find them. Moreover, I can only escape a Great Sage demon beast. I'm not powerful enough to kill one. So, chasing after a Great Sage demon beast is definitely not a thing to consider.] Promotion of 'Heavenly Source Mirror' to Great Sage level still looked far-fetched. He had already decided that he would make 'Heavenly Source Mirror' his primary divine tool. Therefore, it was worth it to invest everything into the 'Heavenly Source Mirror'. After all, he would obtain great benefits in the future in the form of repayment. However, Ye Xiwen still decided to try to burst into the formation of demon beasts. [There are too many demon beasts. They seem to be infinite in number. But, this problem can't be solved by simply wasting time. In fact, the demon beasts would continue to arrive if we delay. Moreover, it won't be easy to wipe them out if they went back to the kingdom of demon beasts.] [The best way would be to kill the commanding general of these demon beasts. Then, this army of demon beasts would scatter. These demon beasts can be considered as intelligent as the human beings. However, they aren't humans. All of them are cruel and rebellious. They have gathered only because of the deterrence of their great general. So, I reckon that they will disperse if that senior demon general of theirs is killed.] Ye Xiwen didn't hesitate any further after he had thought this. He transformed into a golden streamer, and burst into the group of demon beasts. Everyone watched him blankly as he burst into the group of demon beasts. "Does he have a death wish? There's no need to be so rash!" Yue Rui muttered to himself as his bayonet pierced an approaching demon beast. The other experts couldn't believe that someone had dared to burst into the demon beasts. One could probably sweep away a tribe of ordinary demon beasts. However, such an organized army of demon beasts was extremely terrifying. "Damn it! This boy better not die!" the black- robed Old Yin said as if he was showing pity. However, he wasn't feeling pity for Ye Xiwen. He had said these words only because he wanted to kill him personally. "What's he up to?" An expression of shock flashed in Ding Tong's eyes. She didn't know what Ye Xiwen was planning to do. Gong Yan Jia had been indulged in a crazy slaughter. However, even he was in a state of disbelief at the moment. But, he didn't believe that Ye Xiwen was some crazy guy. [He's a guy who kills very decisively. How can such a guy be insane? So, the only possibility is that he has some assurance.] [What's he leaning on?] [Why is he so powerful?] (To be continued)

35 comments, join in Chapter 554: He’s A Monster! Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Ye Xiwen didn't care about what other people were thinking at this time. His entire focus was on capturing the leader of these demon beasts. He wanted to kill that demon general as soon as possible. Otherwise, many junior demon beasts could get attracted towards this place... like moths are attracted towards light. One of the biggest reasons for the death of the majority of experts every time the Great Gas Collar had opened was that they had come across the army of demon beasts. The royal clan of the Great Yue State used to send its organized army to suppress the experts of the devil race whenever they surfaced around the Great Yue State in large numbers. The current scenario was basically the same as that. It was just that the positions had changed this time. "Children, someone is daring to penetrate our battle formation. Show him our ferocity!" A malicious laugh reverberated among the demon beasts. Ye Xiwen's act was equivalent to courting death in their opinion. An expert of the Sage Great Perfection realm might be able to kill hundreds of semi-sage experts with just a slap. However, one thousand or ten thousand semi-sage experts could contend against that expert of Sage Great Perfection realm if they joined hands. In fact, they could even kill the said expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. Whether it is quality or quantity, whichever side would display their strength to the extreme would emerge victorious. Ye Xiwen found that there were many different kinds of demon beasts when he went deeper inside. And, all kinds of demon beasts were in abundance. There were many strange kinds of demon beasts present among them as well. So, he became certain that there was at least one kingdom of demon beasts nearby. An ordinary pack of demon beasts often possessed only one kind of demon beasts. It wasn't normal to have many different kinds of demon beasts mixed together. These demon beasts were arranged in squadrons of three or four. These squadrons of three or four had combined to form a big battle formation. These demon beasts had already attained spiritual wisdom. And, that was the most terrifying thing. "Fufufu, there's a human expert. Such exuberant vitality! My martial power will reach to an unfathomable extent after consuming him!" "I haven't seen a human expert in a long time. Ha ha ha ha… He's bringing us blood and food!" "These human experts are the overlords and princes of their respective star fields. They are the elites. Each of them possesses infinite wealth. We would become rich if we looted even one of them!" These demon beasts revealed greedy looks when they saw Ye Xiwen coming in. A human expert would need special methods if they wanted to absorb the blood essence of a demon beast, and transform it into their martial power. However, these demon beasts possessed innate instincts. They could obtain the desired energy from the various types of flesh and blood that they consumed. Consuming a person like Ye Xiwen could be greatly beneficial to them. After all, Ye Xiwen had cultivated a formidable 'body type power technique'. His body contained plentiful blood, and he possessed vitality to an unfathomable extent. Moreover, he was hardly concealing his vitality right now. In fact, he had set it free. Therefore, his vitality had started to dazzle like a beacon in the night sky. Moreover, human experts often carried a lot of wealth on them. This was also the goal that they coveted. The demon beasts arranged themselves into a huge formation, and madly attacked Ye Xiwen. They had attacked from every direction in an overwhelming manner. The scene looked exceptionally shocking. "Buried Person Sword!" Ye Xiwen's ice-cold voice seemed to have transmitted from hell. It sounded ruthless and callous. "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Thousands of sword-lights appeared in the sky, and rushed out for hundreds of miles. The sword-lights then slashed toward those soldiers who were rushing in. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" It didn't matter whether it was a semi-sage expert or a sage expert. They all got cut into two halves by Ye Xiwen's sword-lights, and subsequently transformed into masses of blood fog. They were being slaughtered miserably, and the masses of blood fog that were being produced as a result were being absorbed by the Heavenly Source Mirror inside Ye Xiwen's body. There was no difference between semi-sage experts or sage experts before Ye Xiwen's sword-lights; all of them were getting slaughtered. Ye Xiwen was on a rampage. He seemed like a precise slaughtering machine. He was running amuck, and was slaughtering all these demon beasts. Ye Xiwen seemed like a heavy tank without brakes. He was simply unstoppable at the moment. The sword-lights soared wherever he went. Each of his ice-cold and ruthless sword strikes appeared as accurate as mentioned in the textbook. Even the most basic sword techniques projected incredible power in his hands. Even the most random combinations of basic sword techniques possessed the might of some stunning sword technique. Ye Xiwen had gradually found some rhythm in transitioning between the 'lifting heavy weight as if light' realm and 'lifting light weight as if heavy' realm as he practiced it on the bodies of those demon beasts. Therefore, even a light sword strike could crush them like a heavy mountain. The demon beasts that had managed to enrol in this army were considered as the well- known figures among the demon beasts. However, they still couldn't contend against Ye Xiwen since he possessed the fighting prowess of a heaven's pride expert. They were simply not on his level. These demon beasts contained powerful energy of blood essence inside their bodies. So, the Heavenly Source Mirror emitted increasingly bright rays of light since it was getting to absorb this blood essence. In fact, most of the attacks of these demon beasts weren't even reaching near Ye Xiwen's body. They were exploding beforehand. They were being blocked by the scarlet screen of light that had been emitted by the Heavenly Source Mirror. Even Ye Mo didn't wish to be left out. He rushed out of Ye Xiwen's body, and a series of scarlet lights also swept out along with him. The demon beasts that got swept away by these blood lights immediately screamed, transformed into a pool of blood, and got absorbed in their entirety. Ye Xiwen's slaughtering speed increased dramatically with Ye Mo's participation. And, he slowly moved towards the core of the army of demon beasts. The depths of the army formation of these demon beasts felt overwhelming. The demon beasts were present everywhere. However, Ye Xiwen could still see that there was a city inside. In fact, it was a magical weapon in the shape of a city. The commanding general of this army of demon beasts was present in the centre of this city. It appeared domineering and magnificent. Ye Xiwen was consuming his 'Real Elemental Energy' at a fast pace under such slaughtering. The 'Primary Spirit Dans' were burning unceasingly inside the Heavenly Source Mirror in order to replenish his Real Elemental Energy. Ye Xiwen had to resort to this method in order to replenish his energy because of the nonstop slaughtering. No one could've dared to burst in like it. Otherwise, they would certainly have been annihilated. "Human, accept your fate!" a deep, gruff, and angry voice came from afar. It sounded like a thunderclap. Then, a hill-sized demon beast dashed towards Ye Xiwen to kill him. This demon beast's body was completely covered in hard armour. Its grandiose aura locked upon Ye Xiwen. Its boundless aura swept out like a wave, and swept away everything. Even the demon beasts in the vicinity had been swept away. However, this demon beast didn't seem to care. Instead, it appeared to be brimming with ruthlessness and thirst for blood. Its hill-sized body came charging in an overwhelming manner. Its gigantic body arrived in front of Ye Xiwen, but it somehow seemed as if a giant mountain had collapsed in front of someone. However, Ye Xiwen's complexion looked tranquil. It didn't change even a bit. His brain was immersed in a high degree of calculation. He looked ice-cold and accurate like a machine at this time. He wouldn't make any mistake. His slim body quickly rushed up to face that hill-sized figure. "Bang!" Two entirely different bodies collided inside the army of demon beasts; one was big and the other was small. Massive and terrifying forces swept out from both bodies, and set off endless astral winds. Those astral winds condensed into an energy storm, and swept all across. That energy storm rushed out in all directions like layers of dreadful sea waves, and devastated everything in its path. "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" Those demon beasts in the vicinity that had been swept away by the energy storm screamed. After all, all of them had sustained serious injuries. In fact, the ones that had been close to the collision had been crushed into masses of minced meat. It was a scary sight. The clash between two Sage Great Perfection level fighting powers was second only to the clash between two Sage Accomplished level ones. The world collapsed and disintegrated. The calamity caused by this fight inside the army of demon beasts involved many of the surrounding demon beasts. However, Ye Xiwen didn't care. Why would he care about the deaths of these demon beasts? Moreover, this demon beast was obviously accustomed to brutality as well. So, it too didn't care whether its subordinates died or survived. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" This was a collision of two unequal bodies in terms of size. However, the one that had gone out flying wasn't the slim human. Instead, it was that hill-sized Sage Great Perfection level demon-beast. This was way beyond the expectations of the demon beasts that were witnessing this fight. That hill-sized demon-beast had been forced to retreat several steps by Ye Xiwen's kick. It had gone back several steps. And, every step of it had broken the space. Numerous cracks had been opened in the sky as a result. It could be clearly seen what kind of gravitational pressure it carried. Blood was seeping out from under its scale- armor. Ye Xiwen's attack had seriously injured its internal organs even though it had worn armour. A terrified expression appeared in the eyes of the demon-beast. It hadn't thought that this ordinary looking human could be so powerful. Demon beasts were closely dependent upon their build regardless of whether they possessed formidable strength or not. However, Ye Xiwen's frail body couldn't be considered big even among humans… let alone among these demon beasts. Therefore, Ye Xiwen's body was like that of an ant as far as these demon beasts were concerned. It seemed as if someone was going to trample an ant to death, but had been injured by the ant instead. However, Ye Xiwen didn't have time to waste. He quickly condensed the Hanshan Seal. It then transformed into a giant mountain, and slammed down. "Bang!" The sky turned into a complete mess as numerous cracks got opened in it by the intense pressure of that mountain-seal. The Sage Great Perfection level demon beast didn't get enough time to evade, and got suppressed to death along with several hundred other demon-beasts in the vicinity. Ye Xiwen gripped his sword, and went further inside the army of demon-beasts. And, he continued his slaughter of demon-beasts on- route. Everyone was watching Ye Xiwen's progress from the outside. There were some people who were looking forward to seeing him die in there. However, they were all outstanding talents. So, how could they not have figured that Ye Xiwen wasn't some crazy guy? He certainly had some backup. Ye Xiwen's march into the deeper parts of this demon beasts' army gave rise to loud noises. There was chaos inside the entire army of demon beasts, and it was impossible to sweep in the divine sense to observe clearly. However, it could still be sensed where Ye Xiwen was, and where the chaos in the demon beast legion was. "He is truly a Monster!" These words appeared in everyone's mind. The look of terror in the eyes of Gong Yan Jia got more and more intense. (To be continued)

30 comments, join in Chapter 555: Slaughters Successfully Translator: Novel Saga Editor: Novel Saga Yue Rui and the other people hoped that Ye Xiwen would succeed in slaughtering the commanding general of the demon beasts as his assault started making more and more noise. Otherwise, they would get surrounded even more tightly by this army of demon beasts. And, who would dare to say that they could escape if that happened unless they were an expert of the Sage Accomplished realm? They might have underestimated Ye Xiwen initially. However, nobody dared to look down upon him now. It wasn't considered a big thing if a Sage Great Perfection level expert defeated another Sage Great Perfection level expert. However, it was a shocking thing if an expert of the late stage of sage realm defeated an expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. Perhaps, only a top-notch heaven's pride expert could achieve such a feat. In fact, they couldn't say with certainty whether a top-tier heaven's pride expert of the late stage of sage realm could defeat an ordinary Sage Great Perfection level expert. In contrast, it seemed that Ye Xiwen could even prevail over a top-notch heaven's pride expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. Thus, the disparity was huge. Ye Xiwen didn't know what they were thinking. He didn't have the time to think about that right now. After all, an increasing number of demon beasts were surrounding him from all directions as he penetrated deeper and deeper whilst carrying his assault toward the centre. His consumption of Real Elemental Energy had reached to a terrifying height at the moment. Consequently, the Heavenly Source Mirror had given up on absorbing the inner cores of demon beasts, and had begun to transform the Demon Elemental Energy that was present inside these inner cores into Real Elemental Energy in order to keep up with the increasingly high energy consumption. Otherwise, the consumption of Primary Spirit Dans would have reached to an astronomical figure. Moreover, Ye Xiwen had been encountering the elite demon beasts since he had reached close to the centre. These demon beasts were much more ferocious that those on the outskirts. The majority of the demon beasts on the outskirts were at the semi-sage realm. But, those demon beasts had been replaced by sage level demon beasts after Ye Xiwen had reached close to the centre. Even Ye Xiwen had begun to find it strenuous. He had finally realized that there was a fundamental difference in the quality of this army of demon beasts and the hordes of demon beasts that he had slaughtered in the past. An average person would've already died if they had been in his place. "Ye Xiwen, you can't continue to delay. Otherwise, a mishap may befall you!" Ye Mo warned loudly. Ye Mo's entire body had turned red, and was exuding an ominous bloody glow. He used to be somewhat weak and transparent. However, his entity had solidified after he had absorbed the inner cores and blood essences of a number of demon beasts during this battle. The Heavenly Source Mirror had obtained enormous benefits. In fact, his body might take form if it continued like this. Ye Mo was merely a tool spirit. However, Ye Xiwen had always seen him as a mentor and a friend. Therefore, he would help him in reconstruction of his body and free him from the shackles of the Heavenly Source Mirror with the passage of time. Of course, it would be better if Ye Mo chose the Heavenly Source Mirror as his core and assimilated it. However, this wouldn't work for Ye Xiwen since Ye Xiwen intended to make the Heavenly Source Mirror his primary divine tool. Therefore, only two ways could be adopted. Either Ye Mo had to obtain an exceptionally good body, or he had to reconstruct his body by absorbing enough blood essence. At this moment, Ye Mo felt that his body would be formed again. Ye Xiwen nodded. [I can't go on like this. It's already too late. I must kill all of those Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts. They are the generals of this army. This army of demon beasts would collapse and fall into confusion if I kill those generals.] Ye Xiwen didn't wait any longer after he had thought this. He quickly unfolded his devil wings, transformed into a streamer of light, and shuttled inside the army of demon beasts like a lightening bolt. The power of wind and thunder began to boil on his wings, and issued a thunder storm. Those demon beasts which had been making futile attempts to get close to him were swept away by the power of wind and thunder, and were left to perish in the end. Ye Xiwen had finally gone all out! He had unleashed all of his firepower! A senior Sage Great Perfection level demon beast had occupied a spot in the depth of the army. It was emitting a fierce aura from its body. It shouted at its subordinates, and commanded them to launch a suicidal attack on Ye Xiwen. However, such tactics wouldn't work on a person like Ye Xiwen. After all, Ye Xiwen possessed a brilliant understanding of military tactics. In fact, this was simply a beginner's tactic in his eyes. After all, he had read all the books in the library of the Yi Yuan School. He had grasped all the concepts of battle. In fact, he had a better understanding of military tactics than the veterans of his time. However, he hadn't gotten the opportunity to use these tactics till now. Moreover, he even had a profound understanding of those so-called 'theoretical battle tactics' which were hard to put into practice. However, he was still astonished to see that this demon beast general had the ability to unleash his troops to their demise. Ye Xiwen's speed was extremely quick. And, he arrived in front of that demon beast general of Sage Great Perfection realm in an instant. Many soldiers were present in front of that general as a defensive line, but they weren't able to stop Ye Xiwen's footsteps. Instead, they got blown away by the power of wind and thunder of his devil wings. "Puny human, how dare you intrude in my domain?" That demon beast general of Sage Great Perfection realm swept its glance. Its eyes looked cruel and ruthless as it swept out its tail towards Ye Xiwen. Its tail was thicker than Ye Xiwen's body. The pointed end of the tail pierced through the vast sky, and produced cracks in it. Its tail was no less than a magic weapon. "Bang!" Ye Xiwen grasped that thick tail with his hands, and the veins in his arms swelled as a result. He then spun around that Sage Great Perfection level demon-beast-chief, and formed a huge whirlwind. And, the demon beasts that had been trying to get close got swept away in a split second as a result. Another demon beast of Sage Great Perfection realm rushed over. It trod down the sky, and launched a long-range raid. This attack left the entire world to tremble, and distorted the sky. "Crack!" the shrill sound of breaking of space was heard as Ye Xiwen threw away that Sage Great Perfection level demon beast general. And, it went into the direction of that other Sage Great Perfection level demon beast that was executing the long-range raid. "Bang!" The two hill-sized beasts suddenly collided with each other, and shook the world. Ye Xiwen strode forward, and stepped across a long section of space. He had arrived above the two giant beasts in the sky in an instant. He brandished his fist. It smashed in the space, and a tremendous force suddenly exploded in the void. The two Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts were supposed to be extremely powerful. But, they were practically nothing in front of Ye Xiwen's fist. They got crushed into a mass of blood fog by the big star. Then, the Heavenly Source Mirror absorbed their blood essence. Suddenly, the Heavenly Source Mirror emitted brilliant rays of scarlet light. The blood essence obtained from these two Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts was much better than the blood essence obtained from the entire crowd of semi-sage level demon beasts. However, Ye Xiwen didn't stop there. He went deeper into the formation, and continued to slaughter the Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts wherever he saw them. Those Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts were considered to be extremely fierce, but they looked insignificant in front of him. At present, Ye Xiwen could defeat even a heaven's pride expert of Sage Great Perfection realm. So, these ordinary Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts were nothing for him. "Who is this human? He is brutal!" "It seems that he's targeting the Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts like us!" "Damn it! This man is killing wantonly. He wants to kill all of us!" The demon beast generals began to use their divine senses to communicate among themselves. After all, they had realised that Ye Xiwen wanted to eliminate all of them in order to cause the collapse of their army of demon beasts. There were numerous demon beasts in this army. In fact, they were simply endless. However, there weren't many demon beasts of Sage Great Perfection realm among them. There were only about a dozen of them. And, only six of them remained at this time. Ye Xiwen and Gong Yan Jia had killed the others. Therefore, those remaining six demon beasts of Sage Great Perfection realm rushed out at the same time. After all, they couldn't allow Ye Xiwen to continue with his killing spree. Otherwise, the entire army of demon beasts could collapse. Those six demon beasts had rushed out collectively. Each of them was at the Sage Great Perfection realm. So, they could be considered as the elites among sage experts. "Damn human, die!" Those Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts assembled in a matrix formation. They strode over quickly like a storm even though they had enormous bodies. Then, they launched a joint attack on Ye Xiwen. Those attacks condensed into an incredibly huge sword in the sky, and swept down towards Ye Xiwen. These Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts had used a special matrix formation. The combined strength of the six huge Sage Great Perfection level beasts had been concentrated into that incredibly huge sword. So, it seemed that it would smash the sky into pieces. Some unlucky demon beasts couldn't escape in time, and were cut into two halves by that sword. The huge sword had even smashed their souls into pieces. It was evident that those demon beasts didn't have any luck on their side. "Haa!" Ye Xiwen shouted as his golden vitality surged out. "Buried Heaven Sword!" Ye Xiwen's pores emitted sword energy. This sword energy condensed into a sword in the sky, and faced the bombardment of the incoming sword energy. "Rumble!" The two swords suddenly collided with each other. Nothing could remain intact under the dreadful force issued by this collision. It swept out energies. These energies swirled in the air, and crushed the space into fine powder. Consequently, the chaotic energy was left to surge in all directions. However, the potency of the sword intention that was condensed inside Ye Xiwen's sword energies didn't decrease. Moreover, Ye Xiwen's sword had already defeated the sword that had been condensed jointly by those Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts weren't able to resist Ye Xiwen's ferocious Buried Heaven Sword. Then, his formidable sword intention locked onto them, and left them incapable of making an escape. Therefore, they got chopped down, and transformed into a mass of blood fog. They had been at the Sage Great Perfection level before their deaths. However, there was a difference of cloud and mud between their strength and that of Ye Xiwen's. The remaining demon beasts instantly scattered like scared birds as this happened. After all, they had been freed from the reins of these Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts. So, they let out strange cries, and began to run away one after another. These human experts seemed like Gods of Death to them. In fact, these demon beasts would've escaped long ago if they hadn't been under the restraints of those few Sage Great Perfection level demon beasts. However, they didn't have those restraints on them anymore since those Sage Great perfection level demon beasts had been killed by Ye Xiwen. Therefore, these ordinary demon beasts had decided to flee. (To be continued).
