Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 701 - 695: Success

"Finally, I’ve broken through," Ye Xuan said, releasing a long breath.

Before reaching the Martial Saint Realm, one could still be considered a mortal, but upon entry into the Martial Saint Realm, one could no longer be called purely mortal but a Saint with a lifespan of a thousand years. Moreover, True Yuan had formed an ancient tree within the Dantian. Although what resided within Ye Xuan wasn’t an ancient tree but a giant dragon, the form was different while the principle remained the same—they both stored an immense amount of True Yuan.

Boom!

A punch was thrown, ripples spread through the space, and a distant mountain peak shattered.

"After the promotion, the power of pure True Yuan attacks has indeed become much stronger," Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

The so-called Martial Saint is a Martial Saint, whose every move is extraordinary, no longer of the mortal world.

At this time, two figures swept over toward him, revealing themselves to be none other than Yu and Elder Xue.

"Ye Xuan, congratulations on successfully withstanding the Heavenly Thunder baptism and breaking through to the Saint Realm, transforming from cocoon to butterfly," Yu said with a beaming smile, revealing her form.

"Master."

Ye Xuan clasped his hands together in respect. He had known that Yu was nearby, and he was also thankful that she had set up a barrier around the area, without which the news of his Heavenly Palace Tribulation would have spread throughout the continent, making him the focus of everyone.

"Who is this venerable elder?" Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted to Elder Xue standing beside her, his expression growing somewhat solemn. The latter’s aura was unfathomable; even now, he could not sense its depth. Such strength was truly terrifying.

"This is our Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, Elder Xue," Yu introduced.

"Elder Xue has been in secluded cultivation for many years and only came here today because he sensed you were undergoing tribulation," she added.

"Don’t worry, kid, I know you have many secrets on you. I and Yu will keep what happened today a secret," Elder Xue said with a smile, seemingly perceptive of Ye Xuan’s concerns.

"I’m grateful to the Supreme Elder," Ye Xuan replied, slowly letting out a breath of relief. It seemed the Supreme Elder was not a greedy schemer, which put him at ease.

"Now that you have just entered the Martial Saint Realm, you might still be uncertain about your own strength. Why don’t we exchange a few moves?" Even as she suggested this, Yu made her move, demonstrating three parts of her strength with the wave of her hand. A giant hand, seemingly condensed from water, tore through the sky, reaching for Ye Xuan.

With a flick of his sword, Ye Xuan met the massive hand that covered the sky with a single strike.

Pffft!

The massive hand split in two, with powerful Sword Qi tearing through the skies. The aftermath caused the sea of clouds to violently split open, like the gaping maw of a demon.

"Ah!"

Yu sounded slightly surprised. Even at three parts strength, it was more than enough to sweep across the First Grade Martial Saint level, but it was sliced open by Ye Xuan’s single sword strike.

This undoubtedly demonstrated that Ye Xuan’s strength far surpassed that of an ordinary First Grade Martial Saint.

"Not bad, take another one of my moves."

Taking a deep breath, Yu raised her right hand in a circular motion, and the water rippled. An even larger giant hand pressed toward Ye Xuan, covering the sky with its immense size as if forming a curtain of water. The lines on its palm were clearly visible. The previous attack was casual, but this time, Yu infused it with formidable Martial Arts.

Ye Xuan still stood in his original spot, not dodging at all, and made a slanted cut with his sword.

Crack!

The giant hand formed of Water Element True Yuan had its fingers severed and suddenly exploded.

"The kid’s pretty good!"

Yu had not expected that after increasing her strength, Ye Xuan would still easily break her offensive. It seemed she had underestimated him. After all, he was an exceptional talent who had undergone the Heavenly Palace Tribulation, and he should not be viewed with common standards.

"Big Nebula Palm!"

Yu proceeded to increase her strength to eighty percent. This time, the winds and clouds behind her suddenly changed color as chaotic energy surged. Stars and nebulae converged; this palm strike, carrying terrifying oppression, brutally bombarded towards Ye Xuan.

This palm strike was enough to defeat a combative peer of her grade, that is, a powerhouse at the Third Grade Martial Saint Realm.

Faced with Yu’s aggressive attack, Ye Xuan couldn’t remain relaxed, and he too utilized Martial Arts. Using the Sword Control Technique, his sword light pierced through the Palm Force with an unbelievable speed, and in the next moment, Ye Xuan himself had passed through the Palm Force.

One man, one sword, their coordination was exceedingly proficient, instantly shattering Yu’s offensive. Then Ye Xuan performed Human Sword Unity, and in the blink of an eye, counterattacked against Yu, the cold light on his sword light piercing towards her.

Sss Sss Sss!

As the sword light threaded through the air, cutting through all resistance, even space couldn’t bear the sharpness of the sword light, and a crack appeared. However, as the sword light neared Yu, it suddenly slowed down, as if it encountered some tremendous resistance, its speed dragged down.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes, only to see that at some point, a layer of water curtain had formed around Yu. The water curtain seemed faint and easy to destroy, but the reality was not so. Ye Xuan’s sword light stabbing into it found itself in a difficult position, unable to penetrate further yet hard to be withdrawn, as if sucked in by the water curtain.

"Disciple, you want to turn defense into offense this easily? You’re underestimating me too much."

Yu waved her hand, and from that water curtain, in just a few breaths’ time, she had condensed seven or eight water dragons. They were vivid and fierce, emerging one after another from the water curtain, sweeping ferociously towards Ye Xuan.

With the imposing water dragons coming at him, Ye Xuan had no intention to clash head-on. He immediately gave up the Rain Saint Sword, and retreating back, he avoided the massive offensive.

The water dragons vanished, the water curtain dispersed, and the Rain Saint Sword flew into Yu’s hand. She gave Ye Xuan a glare, "To so easily drop your sword and run, is this how you treat this treasured blade? From that move just now, I believe you had the power to block it."

Yu could see that Ye Xuan had not given it his all.

"The sword belongs to Master, and now it has been returned to the Master, what’s wrong with that?" Ye Xuan said with a light smile, "Besides, even if I had given it my all, I wouldn’t be a match for you, Master. Why bother struggling?"

Although Yu’s cultivation seemed to be at the Third Grade Martial Saint level, her actual strength was certainly not limited to this realm. Ye Xuan knew that Yu was just sharpening his skills, and now that the goal had been achieved, why bother continuing the fight? Yu was not his enemy after all. His full strength would only be used against his enemies, and once exerted, they probably would not even be able to survive.

Of course, Ye Xuan did not yet believe he could defeat Yu.

"Good, young with boundless talent, yet you know when to advance or retreat, and you’re not arrogant or restless. Yu, I’m very satisfied with your disciple."

Elder Xue looked at Ye Xuan with an approving face. How could he not see that Ye Xuan’s temperament was quite good? Being an exceptional talent who had also passed the Heavenly Palace Tribulation, naturally, the more he looked at him, the more pleased he became. With the right guidance, this disciple is sure to lead the Heavenly Martial Holy Land to glory in the future.
