Chapter 518: Chapter 516: Renowned Throughout the Spirit Realm

Though Chen Xuanji’s aura was weak, at this moment he spat thunder from his mouth!

Starlight condensed into a sword, its blade reaching up to the Xuan Heaven and down to the Netherworld, twisting space itself, cleaving toward Xu Yang with unstoppable force.

A chill pierced Xu Yang’s entire body, as if he’d fallen into an ice cave!

Danger!

An unprecedented danger.

Every hair on his body stood up on end, snapping inch by inch.

The sword’s might was so, terrifying beyond words!

Xu Yang didn’t hesitate in the slightest, didn’t even look back, and summoned his spirit mark.

Whoosh!

"Lock!"

Heaven-locking Intent erupted madly, seeking to seal off this strike.

Buzz!

A thousandth of an instant.

The Infinite Profound Nether Sword trembled slightly, as if without the slightest hesitation, it slashed downward.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the spirit mark, which instantly shrank back into his body like lightning.

At the same time, a cluster of black Minghuo flared violently from Xu Yang’s body.

Puchi!

In the next instant!

Crack!

Xu Yang’s figure shattered apart.

The terrifying force spilled directly onto the Divine Tripod; with a thunderous clang, the tripod was utterly unscathed, but was flung in one stroke toward the Myriad Realm Tree.

"Xu Yang..." Yie Vajra cried out in shock.

"That’s an afterimage!"

Gon Lang suddenly let out a breath of relief.

The broken Xu Yang had no trace of life force.

Clearly, it was just an afterimage.

"He actually dodged it?"

Chen Xuanji watched the fading fragments before him in a daze, his mind completely blank.

His all-out, even borrowed, Infinite Profound Nether Sword had been evaded?

How was that possible?

Pfft!

Chen Xuanji’s body shuddered, spraying fresh blood from his mouth.

The stars in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn!"

"Xu Yang, put down the Myriad Realm Tree!"

Regaining his wits, Chen Xuanji saw Xu Yang, gripping the Divine Tripod, appear in front of the Myriad Realm Tree; his eyes nearly burst, his voice hoarse as he roared.

Without care for anything, he charged in.

The treasure armor on him shattered with a crack.

Chen Xuanji didn’t care in the least; the instant the armor broke, he crossed through the spatial impact and entered.

Xu Yang’s mouth was still dripping blood; his palm nearly trembling as he grasped the Myriad Realm Tree.

A mysterious surge washed over him.

In a trance, it was as if he saw the source of the Spirit River appear before his eyes.

The cracks on his spirit mark healed at a speed visible to the eye!

Xu Yang’s mind shook, instantly coming to his senses, just in time to see Chen Xuanji’s ferocious pounce.

"I warned you, don’t talk big!"

"See, you’re talking big again."

Xu Yang grinned, his face full of mocking ridicule, then seized the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod and leapt into the air.

Swish!

The Celestial Refining Divine Tripod erupted with unprecedented ancient power, taking Xu Yang straight into the boundless chaotic storm above.

Chen Xuanji lunged into nothingness, looked up, trembling violently, and roared in anger.

On the other side.

Yie Vajra and the other two exchanged glances, then maintained the Shenxiao Jade Talisman, fleeing like lightning.

Xu Yang had gotten the Myriad Realm Tree—that was enough for them.

Outside the river.

Countless Martial Artists surged from the river, retreating far to both sides, staring in terror at the earth-shaking great river.

The river’s waters, once towering, had been confined to the riverbed’s bounds.

But now, the balance had been broken.

The river poured out like an ancient angry beast, rampaging outward. Wherever it went, the earth was split, space twisted, great cracks and collapsed depressions appeared.

At the river’s center, a storm raged, raising waves a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand zhang high.

Its terrifying power shook the entire secret realm, nearly overturning it!

It made even True Monarch Peaks quake in fear!

"Hiss!"

"This is just too terrifying—the accumulated might is approaching the Shenxiao Realm!"

"Xu Yang and Chen Xuanji aren’t out yet. Chen Xuanji is one thing, but Xu Yang—how is he worthy?"

"Retreat! The river is about to explode completely!"

Rumble rumble rumble!!

A milky-white wave blanketed most of the domain, exploding into the sky all at once.

The earth shook, mountains moved, the heavens collapsed, space caved in!

The entire secret realm seemed unable to withstand such an impact, shattering apart. The unleashed force and river storm gathered, turning into an even more frightening catastrophe.

Not a single Martial Artist stopped to watch any longer; all fled in frenzied panic.

Amidst the chaos.

A streak of black shot out from the river; a ghostly light flickered, then a flash of cyan slipped like lightning along the ruined edge of the secret realm and darted away.

Dozens of breaths later.

The cyan light exited the secret realm, darting off into distant void without pausing for a moment.

In just half an hour.

This accidentally discovered shocking secret realm collapsed and was utterly destroyed.

As the storm spilled out, vast energy rained into heaven and earth.

In an instant, the density of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi over thousands of miles beyond the place of fall multiplied several times.

At this moment.

In the wilderness outside the secret realm.

Many Martial Artists watched the secret realm’s heart with the relief of having survived disaster.

Though the storm had weakened, it hadn’t yet dissipated, forming a giant vortex, slowly converging.

In the turbulence, a terrifying oppressive might still seeped out, suffocating to behold.

"Damn, I didn’t get any treasure at all."

"That’s what you get for being late. Be grateful—being alive is a heaven-sized blessing."

"Where’s Xu Yang? Why isn’t he here? Did he die inside?"

"Look at Chen Xuanji!"

"Chen Xuanji’s face is sullen, his aura weak—he’s clearly seriously wounded. If he’d gotten the Myriad Realm Tree, he’d already be heading straight back to the Star Nebula Infinite Sea."

"Hiss... Could it be that Xu Yang took the Myriad Realm Tree? How is that possible?"

...

Chen Xuanji stood on a hillside, making no attempt to hide himself.

His face was dark as water, so bad it could drip.

His aura was even more feeble, severely wounded!

His two guards had also perished within.

The sight made countless Martial Artists’ scalps tingle and their hearts surge tumultuously!

What did this represent?

The rarely seen Myriad Realm Tree had actually been taken by Xu Yang.

For a while, those who didn’t know asked everywhere; those who did were deeply shocked and awed by the name ’Xu Yang’!

In just three days.

The name Xu Yang shook the entire Spirit Realm!

Meanwhile, news of the Myriad Realm Tree’s appearance spread madly.

At this very moment, Xu Yang was already nearing the War King Clan.

Inside the Cyan Flame Boat.

Xu Yang’s face was deathly pale; his injuries still unrecovered.

The Myriad Realm Tree floated inside the Spiritual Boat. Xu Yang clenched his teeth, constantly tossing in countless supreme-grade Spirit Crystals and other treasures.

The Celestial Refining Divine Tripod was restless as well. The abundant essence it had devoured before was all churned out, supplied to the Myriad Realm Tree.

Xu Yang’s heart was bleeding.

You think he was willing?

He simply couldn’t control the Myriad Realm Tree.

He could feel that just cultivating near the Myriad Realm Tree was an unimaginable opportunity.

But perhaps because it had just emerged and hadn’t absorbed enough power within the secret realm, the Myriad Realm Tree was constantly drawing in the energy swirling around it.

Xu Yang dared not stop.

If he did, it would trigger an enormous commotion.

In fact, if he didn’t use resources as offerings, even his own power would be forcibly drawn away.

Unless he distanced himself from the Myriad Realm Tree!

"This thing is both a supreme treasure and a searing hot potato!"

"Once I return to the War King Clan I can get rid of it, but it’s going to be a huge problem all the same!"

Xu Yang forced a bitter smile.

Honestly, he didn’t know whether the War King Clan would be happy or troubled to see this Myriad Realm Tree.

Perhaps, both!

But now, he had no other choice but to hurry back as fast as possible to the War King Clan.

As all his resources and the Divine Tripod’s essence were finally consumed, the War King Clan’s secret realm finally appeared before his eyes.
