Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 709 - 703: Self-Destruction

"Ye Xuan, why go to such extremes when leaving some leeway could suffice? Grant some face to my Emperor Xi Sect and let today’s issue end here; I will surely never trouble you again."

Cornered and with nowhere to run, Sound Saint sought to compromise with Ye Xuan, thinking that as long as there are greens in the mountains, one needn’t worry about fueling the fire; as long as he could escape with his life this time, he wouldn’t worry about a chance to make a comeback. But if he let Ye Xuan finish him off here, then there wouldn’t be any chance at all.

"Grant you face? I gave you plenty of face before, but you wasted your chances. You even schemed against Xuantian Sect behind my back, trying to stab me in the back. How could I let you go today?"

Ye Xuan sneered coldly; the fate of these two, who initially wanted to kill him, was sealed from the start, marking their inevitable demise. He had slightly softened his intent to kill these two, yet they had done something like this, simply courting death.

"Damn it, do you think you have me cornered today? It’s still uncertain who will live and who will die if we end up in a fish-net situation," Sound Saint said with a vicious look. Judging by the way things were, it seemed Ye Xuan had him pegged; they wouldn’t stop unless it was a fight to the death.

"If you’re so confident about a mutual destruction, why all this nonsense!"

Ye Xuan ignored Sound Saint and thrust his sword forward.

"Tenfold Sound Barrier!"

Unable to stop Ye Xuan, Sound Saint had no choice but to channel his True Yuan, erecting layer upon layer of sound barriers to hinder Ye Xuan’s advancement.

"Break!"

Ye Xuan slashed through with his sword, invincible on his path. Deploying the Human Sword Unity, he quickly shattered the sound barriers and caught up to Sound Saint.

"Very well! You forced this, let’s die together!"

A touch of madness appeared in Sound Saint’s eyes. Ye Xuan had caught up, and it seemed that his opponent didn’t plan to spare him. At that moment, the aura around Sound Saint became unstable, with a violent fluctuation. freewёbnoνel.com

"Thinking of self-detonating?"

Ye Xuan had long recognized Sound Saint’s intentions. The moment the latter’s aura changed, he left an afterimage on the spot, and his real body appeared in front of Sound Saint. The Rain Saint Sword in his hand, fast as a meteor, pierced into Sound Saint’s Dantian.

"It’s useless, go die!"

Ye Xuan’s reaction was slightly late. With a crazed expression, Sound Saint’s True Yuan boiled over. His body then transformed into a scorching mini-sun and violently exploded, causing the sky above Daluo Heavenly Palace to burst thunderously, a terrifying shockwave sweeping out, forming a destructive storm.

The disciples of Daluo Heavenly Palace on the square couldn’t withstand such terrifying aftershocks; their bodies were blown away, vomiting fresh blood.

Those disciples standing further away fared better, receiving less impact. Everyone looked up at the sky in shock; they had never seen such a horrifying explosion before.

"That Sound Saint actually was driven by that young man to self-detonate."

Some disciples with higher cultivation levels clearly saw what had happened in the sky and were deeply shaken. Sound Saint was a true Martial Saint Strong Person, not just a Semi-Saint, and yet he was driven to self-detonate by a young individual.

Who exactly is this person?

"That guy must have been blown up too."

Many disciples wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths. Even from such a distance, they were swept away by the aftermath and sustained injuries. Ye Xuan was right at the center of the explosion; his body likely turned into flying ashes.

Even a Saint couldn’t have withstood that situation and would have perished instantly.

"What happened?"

At that moment, several figures rushed out from the depths of the Daluo Heavenly Palace, astonishingly led by Sima Yan, the Palace Master, and the White Dragon, the Semi-Saint, among other high-ranking officials of the palace.

"Ling Yu Saint has been killed!"

"Sound Saint self-destructed!"

These two pieces of news exploded like bombs within the Daluo Heavenly Palace, leaving Sima Yan and the others stunned in place. Two great Saints, one killed and one self-destructed—what dreadful events had transpired?

By then, the smoke in the sky had slowly dispersed, revealing a figure within it, surrounded by a Light Shield. As the smoke cleared, the Light Shield also dissipated slowly.

"He actually didn’t die?"

This revelation caused an uproar among the disciples of the Daluo Heavenly Palace. Even after such a close-range self-destruction, Ye Xuan was still alive and seemingly unscathed.

The disciples of the Daluo Heavenly Palace drew in a sharp breath, their scalps tingling; the self-destruction of Sound Saint had been in vain.

"Is this person... Ye Xuan?"

Sima Yan’s gaze was fixed and unwavering as he stared at the figure in the sky. He scrutinized the face carefully, and his expression drastically changed.

He had heard some of Ye Xuan’s exploits recently. The man had won first place in the preselection for the Eight Great Spirit Domains and had even joined the Heavenly Martial Holy Land as a disciple. However, no matter how splendid those rumors were, none shocked him as much as the scene unfolding before him now.

Ye Xuan, with his own strength, had killed two great Saints—was this the same disciple from the Xuantian Sect?

"Palace Master Sima."

At this time, Ye Xuan descended from the sky and came to a halt in front of Sima Yan and the others.

Seeing Ye Xuan descend, Sima Yan couldn’t help but give a wry smile. "I never expected that the Xuantian Sect could produce such an astonishing and brilliant individual. However, by killing Sound Saint and Ling Yu Saint today, you’ve made formidable enemies with the Emperor Xi Sect."

"If I dared to kill them, I naturally am not afraid of Emperor Xi Sect’s revenge."

Ye Xuan was non-committal. He had indeed intended to eliminate the two secretly, but Sound Saint’s self-destruction had likely alerted many. Secretly finishing off the two was no longer feasible, but Ye Xuan wasn’t worried about exposure. As a disciple of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land and under the protection of the Supreme Elder, he didn’t need to fear a mere Emperor Xi Sect.

"Sima Yan, I know you are merely lackeys for these two. I’m too lazy to kill you, but from now on, both the Daluo Heavenly Palace and the Holy Demon Cave Heaven must obey the commands of the Xuantian Sect. If you dare disobey, do not blame me for being ruthless."

Ye Xuan didn’t bother with further discussion. Now that Sound Saint and Ling Yu Saint were dealt with, there was no need for more killings—as long as Sima Yan was willing to cooperate, all would be well.

"No problem. From now on, all forces within the Yunlan Domain will submit to the Xuantian Sect. If anyone defies this, they will be at your disposal." Clearly, Sima Yan was also a man who knew the times. If he still opposed Ye Xuan now, the consequences would undoubtedly lead to death; he wasn’t that foolish.

Moreover, by eliminating Sound Saint and Ling Yu Saint, Ye Xuan had also removed two major nuisances for them. These two had been highly resented within the Daluo Heavenly Palace for causing endless troubles, yet no one could handle them. They could only suffer under their oppression—by killing these two Saints, Ye Xuan had actually solved a big problem for them.
