…
“But… Who should we send? Among us, there are still a large number of people who need to stay behind to guard the archaic sea beasts under the Undesirable Sea.
“Moreover, the person we send has to be sufficiently powerful. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to send him to his death. It would be meaningless.”
Everyone could not help but be at a loss.
It was unrealistic to send out all of them at the same time. To do it alone required sufficient strength.
They had a huge restriction.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly spoke,
“Why don’t you let me do it?”
Hearing that voice, everyone present was stunned at first, then their faces instantly relaxed.
“It’s Brother Emperor Dragon!”
“100,000 years ago, Brother Emperor Dragon was already a Sacred Sovereign with two apertures. Now, his strength has long risen to a higher level, increasing by more than a few times! It’s more than enough to deal with that brat.”
“Among all the people present, Brother Emperor Dragon’s strength can be considered to be outstanding. It’s most suitable for Brother Emperor Dragon to make a move.”
“Since that’s the case, then I can only rely on Brother Emperor Dragon!”
…
At the same time, on the other side, after Ye Xiao killed Bai Yu, he plundered his sacred blood and primordial soul and quickly left.
Adding on those Sacred Sovereigns and primordial souls that he killed previously, Ye Xiao already possessed the sacred blood and primordial souls of seven Sacred Sovereigns.
Moreover, among them, five of them were Sacred Sovereigns with one aperture, while the other two were Sacred Sovereigns with two apertures.
Their sacred blood possessed an extremely huge amount of law energy. After absorbing it, they could greatly raise their cultivation.
Their primordial souls could be used to make puppets and serve as the guardians of the Xuan Yuan immortal territory.
Their primordial souls could also be refined by him to strengthen his cultivation. However, his cultivation was not weak. In addition, he had obtained many insights from the Ancestral Dragon, so he did not need to further strengthen his cultivation for the time being, thus, he could save that portion.
In short, what he obtained were all good things.
If not for the fact that he urgently needed to rush back to the Xuan Yuan immortal sect to protect them, he would have long refined those sacred blood on the spot.
Even so, after he settled the matter with the Xuan Yuan immortal territory, he would have to refine all those things.
However, he had not flown far when he felt another aura descend.
That aura was much stronger than the two auras from before.
He had actually reached the Sacred Sovereign with three orifices!
His cultivation at that level was already on par with his.
Ye Xiao could not help but sigh in his heart. In the end, it was the Undesirable Sea. Its foundation was sufficient to be able to easily send out so many high-level cultivators.
If it was on land, it would probably not be able to send out so many high-level cultivators in a row.
However, he had nothing to be afraid of.
He could be said to be invincible among those of the same level, so he had nothing to fear.
Since the Xuan Yuan immortal territory was currently under attack, he did not want to waste any more time. He waved his right hand and directly pulled out the Great Dragon.
At the same time, a violent fluctuation appeared in the domain in front of him.
“Ye Xiao! You trespassed into my Undesirable Sea and killed the Undesirable Sea’s disciples wantonly. What a crime you have committed!”
Ye Xiao could not be bothered to waste his breath on the other party. He activated the Primordial Chaos sacred art and slashed out with his sword, immediately slashing towards the other party’s domain.
The sword ray was like lightning, slicing through the sky and tearing apart the spatial barrier. Without giving the other party any chance to react, it directly tore apart the other party’s domain.
The other party did not expect that Ye Xiao was actually so powerful. With a casual slash of his sword, he directly tore apart his sacred art domain.
He did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. As his pupils constricted, he desperately circulated his sacred art, allowing his body to jump out in the shortest amount of time.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late in the end. Half of his arm was chopped off by Ye Xiao on the spot.
Intense pain surged into his heart, but it was not even half of the fear in his heart.
He did not dare to delay the slightest bit. He did not even have the intention to resist. He immediately used his strength again, attempting to escape.
At that moment, he had already completely realized that he was not Ye Xiao’s match. Only by seizing the time to escape was the right path.
However, Ye Xiao would not give him the chance to escape at all.
Ye Xiao had always adhered to the principle of cutting the weeds to get rid of the roots.
If he allowed the other party to slip away from under his nose, he would definitely be a potential threat in the future.
Even if the other party did not dare to attack him, he would still attack his family and clansmen because he held a grudge.
He could not be spared!
Kill!
“In the name of Ye Xiao, heavily injure the Sacred Sovereign in front of me.”
Ye Xiao could have used the Destiny sacred art to instantly kill him.
However, the Destiny sacred art consumed too much energy, and the difference in lifespan between killing and heavily injuring was too great. There was no need for Ye Xiao to waste so much of his lifespan on a small character.
As long as he heavily injured the other party, he could bully his way forward and immediately kill the other party.
It was simple and convenient, and the consumption was also low.
His lifespan could be used in more crucial areas.
The Destiny sacred art unleashed its might, not giving the other party the slightest chance to refute as it heavily injured the other party on the spot.
“Argh!”
The other party spat out a mouthful of nine-colored sacred blood that was exuding a golden auspicious aura. His aura instantly withered rapidly, and his speed was significantly reduced. His body seemed to have come to a momentary halt.
Taking advantage of that momentary pause, Ye Xiao swung the Great Dragon and slashed out once again. There was no need to worry. That sword would definitely easily crush and kill the other party and completely destroy him.
At that time, Ye Xiao would have another victory.
After Sacred Sovereign saw that scene, he did not know whether it was because he was too afraid or because he had just suffered a serious injury. His face instantly turned as pale as wax.
However, at that critical moment, an incident suddenly occurred.
In the sky, the void barrier was once again torn apart. A streak of dark green light descended straight down and ruthlessly smashed towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao’s eyes slightly moved. He had no choice but to give up on killing the other party. He then changed his direction and raised his hand to kill in the sky.
Boom!
The two forces collided, creating an explosive shock wave. It was no longer as simple as separating the entire sea surface. Instead, it directly tore apart the void!
That was right, it was as terrifying as tearing apart the void!
A huge dimensional rift appeared between heaven and earth.
The seawater of the Undesirable Sea surged into it rapidly.
Countless lives were devoured. The monsters in the depths of the alternate dimension were shouting excitedly, continuously devouring the creatures of the Undesirable Sea that fell into it.
That Sacred Sovereign with three apertures, who was severely injured by Ye Xiao, also smashed onto a small path in the distance due to that attack, blasting that small island into the end of the year.
However, he did not feel any anger. Instead, he even shouted out in excitement,
“Hahaha… It’s the powerhouse of our Undesirable Sea! This aura is Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon! About 100,000 years ago, he was the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon who shook the entire Undesirable Sea!”
Countless Imperial Immortals also felt that aura. Although they had no way of approaching that place, they still knelt in that direction.
One could imagine how powerful and terrifying that Sacred Sovereign was.
“This aura is Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon!”
“This emperor really didn’t expect that after 100,000 years, Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon would actually reappear in the wayless sea! This emperor has no regrets in this life!”
“Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon must have come for Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao can no longer be arrogant! He will definitely die!”
…
On the surface of the sea, Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes and held the Great Dragon in his hand as he stared intently at Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon who was descending from the sky. His face revealed a hint of solemnity.
The Sacred Sovereign with four apertures!
One had to know that Ye Xiao himself had only just reached Sacred Sovereign with three apertures, while the other party was already a Sacred Sovereign with four apertures.
Of course, that did not mean that Ye Xiao would be afraid of him.
His ability to cross ranks in battle was not something to be trifled with.
The Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon landed and looked at Ye Xiao. His eyes revealed a hint of killing intent and a hint of admiration.
“Not bad young man. To reach such a terrifying cultivation at such a young age. With your talent, I think it can be called the highest level in the entire world!
“If I can give you some more time to grow, perhaps there won’t be many people in this world who can be your match.
“However, there’s one thing you have to be clear about. No matter how powerful a genius is, if he doesn’t grow up, he’s no different from trash.”
As the words of the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon fell, the pressure from his four apertures also descended like a huge mountain, suppressing the dimensional crack that had just been opened so that it could not easily heal itself.
The dragon in Ye Xiao’s hand drew the Great Dragon and immediately stepped forward.
“What’s the point of saying so much nonsense?”
The Primordial Chaos sacred art covered the sword body, and Ye Xiao’s strength was raised to the limit at that instant. With a sword strike, he instantly tore apart the sacred art domain of the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon.
However, it was different from the Sacred Sovereign with three apertures that he dealt with earlier. At that time, Ye Xiao did not break through the entire domain with a sword strike. He only broke through half of it, and the remaining strength could not continue to penetrate deep into the opponent’s face.
“I don’t have much strength left,
“This venerable self knows that you possess two top-tier sacred arts. Together with a sacred weapon, it allows you to possess the strength to fight across ranks.
“However, this venerable self is different from other ordinary Sacred Sovereigns. This venerable self cultivates the Five Elements sacred art. Although it can not be compared to your two sacred arts, it can be considered to be one of the top ten sacred arts among all the sacred arts.
“This is enough for this venerable self to greatly increase the distance between his actual combat strength and yours.
“In addition, this venerable self’s cultivation is one level higher than yours.
“Therefore, the difference in strength between the two of us hasn’t been greatly reduced by you.”
As he finished speaking, Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon extended a hand and pointed in the air. The spatial barrier was immediately mercilessly torn apart.
A terrifying power ruthlessly crushed everything in front of it in an unstoppable manner and pounced straight at Ye Xiao’s face.
At that moment, the surging ocean surface of the Undesirable Sea seemed to have been suppressed by that top-tier energy and became as flat as an ice surface.
Ye Xiao did not panic and swung his sword.
The powerful power bombarded that sacred art domain, causing the speed of the domain’s descent to instantly slow down.
Taking advantage of the instant the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon’s spatial domain paused, Ye Xiao raised his large hand.
“In the name of Ye Xiao, heavily injure the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon.”
An inexplicable attack suddenly blasted onto the body of the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon.
Splat!
The Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His aura instantly started to descend, and his expression began to wither.
However, unlike the other Sacred Sovereigns, although his injuries were also very serious, they actually healed in an instant after being injured.
That was right, it healed in an instant.
Ye Xiao was slightly stunned. He noticed a strange and unadorned bronze necklace on the other party’s neck. Earlier, it emitted a dark blue light beam. It was also after that light beam that the injuries on Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon’s body healed in an instant.
“A sacred weapon?”
Ye Xiao could not help but squint his eyes slightly, while Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon said with a faint smile,
“Do you think that I don’t know that you know the Destiny sacred art? The Destiny sacred art can harm people without form, and killing people is just a thought. The truth of fate involved in it is something that no one can decipher.
“However, the Destiny sacred art also has its flaw, which is that it consumes one’s lifespan.
“Although your cultivation is strong and your lifespan is abundant, my cultivation is one level higher than yours. If you want to kill me, I estimate that your lifespan will be greatly depleted.
“Although you wouldn’t die instantly, you would have very few chances to use the Destiny sacred art again. At least, not for a short period of time.
“Without the Destiny sacred art, the Sacred Sovereigns of the Undesirable Sea and the Sacred Sovereigns who had enmity with you from other places would come to kill you immediately.
“That was why you didn’t dare to use the Destiny sacred art to kill me directly.
“As for using the Destiny sacred art to heavily injure me, it’s also useless because my sacred weapon can quickly heal the injuries on my body in a short period of time. No matter how serious my injuries are, they can be healed instantly.
“Your Destiny sacred art is practically useless in my eyes.”
Ye Xiao looked straight at Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon in front of him.
Needless to say, that old fellow was somewhat capable.
He was betting that he did not dare to use the Destiny sacred arts with all his might.
In fact, if Ye Xiao did not come to Undesirable Sea at that time and did not meet Senior Ancestral Dragon, he had made the right bet.
Because before that, Ye Xiao did not have any backers to rely on.
Such him, his greatest reliance was himself.
Therefore, he had to leave some tricks for himself.
The Destiny sacred art was his trick. At the very least, it could allow him to instantly kill a Sacred Sovereign powerhouse that was slightly stronger than him.
That meant that the other Sacred Sovereigns were afraid of him.
Just like how no one would dare to provoke you if you had a nuclear bomb in your hand.
Even if they provoked you, they would not dare to push you to the brink of death. Otherwise, when a rabbit is anxious, it would still bite people.
Those Sacred Sovereigns also cherished their lives very much. They had painstakingly cultivated for over 100,000 years to reach their current level with great difficulty. No one wanted to die.
However, if there was no Destiny sacred art, Ye Xiao would really die without a burial ground.
At that point, Ye Xiao was different.
That was because he still had the Ancestral Dragon backing him up. Although the Ancestral Dragon had said not to casually summon him for no reason, it was Ye Xiao’s decision whether or not there was a problem.
Therefore, ye Xiao did not say any more nonsense. He directly took a step forward and said loudly,
“With Ye Xiao’s orders, kill the Sacred Sovereign Emperor Dragon in front of me.”
Those words were like thunder, instantly resounding throughout the entire Undesirable Sea.
Everyone who heard his voice could not help but narrow their eyes.
How was that possible?
Ye Xiao actually used it!
If he used the Destiny sacred art to cross ranks to kill enemies, the lifespan he would use would definitely be much greater!
That way, his Destiny sacred art was practically crippled within a short period of time.
How dare he?
