Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 299 - 160: Sword Slays the Demon Sect’s Peerless Demon Fiend, Shocking the Audience (Part 2)

However, just as they were in shock, Ye Xiaofan's figure had already appeared in front of them. With a swift movement of his sword, he slit his opponent's throat, separating head from body.

"What?"

Clang!

In an instant, countless powerful figures widened their eyes, staring in disbelief at this scene. Even Yunmo Yue, who was in a Divine Hall far away attempting a breakthrough, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, looking somewhat astonished at the sight.

Zhao Ling'Er watched the figure from the Demon Sect slowly falling, her expression filled with endless shock.

"How could he be so strong?"

Suddenly, countless formidable cultivators at the Spiritual Essence Realm were taken aback, dumbfounded as they watched Ye Xiaofan.

An immensely powerful figure, at the peak of the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank,' couldn't even last a single round in his hands, not even having time to react before being slain by his sword.

That was a genius among geniuses in the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank,' not an ordinary cultivator. Even an ordinary cultivator who had cultivated to the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank,' although vastly inferior to such a prodigious talent, would not be defeated so easily.

Even against a rare prodigy, they should at least be able to put up a fight, not be felled at the first encounter.

Reaching their level of cultivation, there was no such thing as underestimating their enemies. Even if underestimated, they would not be defeated with a single move, let alone be slain outright.

"Heaven, wasn't he just a newcomer at the peak of the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank'? How could he be this terrifying?"

"Not good, this person might really be an extraordinary monster. His power at the peak of the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank' is beyond what is typical of this realm, and the explosive force he wields far surpasses other strong figures of this level."

Many people came to this realization, with shock in their eyes reaching an inconceivable level.

Although breaking through to the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank' in six months had initially labeled him as a monstrous talent, it was merely an opinion formed in astonishment and did not carry the authority of certainty.

Yet at this moment, based on the power he displayed, even if he wasn't the prodigious talent of cultivation, he was undoubtedly a monster among monsters of an extraordinary level.

Even the four individuals including Nangong Jianchen, who were somewhat prepared, couldn't hide the ripples of emotion in their eyes.

At the same time.

After Ye Xiaofan killed the challenger, he stood calmly in the void, his gaze sweeping over the vast sea of people blocking his path.

"Weren't you all eager to kill Ye Xiaofan? Didn't you want the legacy? Why are you hesitating? I stand here now; anyone who seeks my life or the legacy, come and claim it!"

After speaking, Ye Xiaofan stood with his sword arrogantly, putting on a stance of perish together if necessary.

In truth, he did this deliberately, realizing upon his breakthrough that nearly ten thousand righteous and demonic cultivators had completely encircled the area. If Ye Xiaofan wanted to leave, the only way was to forge a bloody path.

And disrupting the formations was undoubtedly the smartest move. Only by plunging all these powerful cultivators into chaos did he have a better chance to break the encirclement and escape.

If they continued to besiege him endlessly, even with his strength, he would eventually fall into an extremely passive position and might be worn down to death.

Yet, faced with Ye Xiaofan's words, nearly ten thousand fearsome cultivators of both righteous and demonic paths remained silent.

It was evident that this person's combat strength was already beyond imagination. Before clarifying his true capabilities, no one wanted to be the vanguard. In this scenario, whoever succeeded in killing Ye Xiaofan and gaining the legacy would instantly become the target of everyone else.

"Heh heh."

Ye Xiaofan let out a cold laugh when he saw the thousands of formidable figures unmoved, attempting to provoke them.

"Is this what you call the Spiritual Essence Realm's top-tier battle force? Is this what you call extraordinary geniuses? Remarkable monsters?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Ye Xiaofan's gaze swept over all the attackers, his eyes showing utter disdain as he mocked, "Nearly ten thousand powerhouses, whose cultivation base are on par or even superior to mine, hesitate to attack a single 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank' cultivator?"

"If this gets out, won't you all be so impressive?"

"Don't you want the legacy I hold? Don't you want to see me dead? If you don't kill me today, I will surely become the second Sword Saint and a major threat to you in the future. If I do not fall today, one day I will be your demise."

Every resounding word spread across this world, and countless cultivators of both righteous and demonic paths listened to these words, watching the lone figure taunting thousands. They were all stunned into silence.

Although everyone knew his intentions—intending to provoke a mass attack so that in the chaos a breakthrough could be made—the mere sight of one challenging thousands still left a deep impression.

It must be noted that those standing there, at the weakest, were formidable cultivators of the 'Spiritual Essence Realm Seventh Rank,' with over ninety percent at the top-tier of 'Spiritual Essence Realm Eighth Rank' and above, many even at 'Spiritual Essence Realm Ninth and Tenth Rank' as unparalleled geniuses.

Not only that, but among them were numerous at 'Spiritual Essence Realm Perfected, Great Perfection, and Peak' levels, including nearly a hundred unparalleled geniuses and more than a dozen extraordinary monsters from both the righteous and demonic paths.
