Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 723 - 717: Mountain Climbing

The environment around Ye Xuan drastically changed, from the originally chaotic Magma Lake, it had transformed into a magnificent Immortal Palace, and at this moment, he was sitting on the throne, with beauties on his left and right, surrounding him like clouds, of unmatched beauty. Countless strong beings were kneeling on the ground, performing the deepest of bows in worship.

"Such a low-level Illusion Realm thinks to trap me?"

If it were an ordinary person, it might be possible to indulge in such an Illusion Realm, but Ye Xuan’s soul power and willpower were beyond that of ordinary people. The moment he fell into the Illusion Realm, he burst forth, drew out the Rain Saint Sword, and cleaved through the illusion, charging out.

His eyes cleared, and at this moment, the environment around him had already drastically changed. Those Molten Rock Spirits surprisingly began to fly up, and then they started stacking up at an astonishing speed, quickly assembling into a molten monster hundreds of feet in size.

"This could be troublesome."

Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank slightly. This Molten Rock Spirit, which could also be called the Molten Rock King, threw a punch over, causing the entire Bridge of Rebirth to tremble ceaselessly.

"Great Devouring Spirit Array!"

In this dire situation, Ye Xuan had no choice but to activate the Great Devouring Spirit Array, enveloping the Molten Rock King within it.

The massive Devouring Array Formation descended like a black hole, instantly suppressing the Molten Rock King.

After taking such an action, Ye Xuan circulated his soul power, and above his head, a transparent giant sword of soul energy materialized, then after solidifying, it slammed onto the Bridge of Rebirth.

Pop!

A wave of invisible, terrifying shockwave swept through, and in the next moment, Yin Meng, Zuo Lingyun, and others trapped in the Illusion Array awoke one after another.

Yin Meng, being the strongest, wouldn’t have been trapped by this Illusion Realm for long, and after being awakened by Ye Xuan, she immediately set off toward the other end of the Bridge of Rebirth.

The rest of the people, upon regaining consciousness, fled like ants on a hot pot, exerting all their strength to escape.

After everyone had safely withdrawn from the Bridge of Rebirth, the Molten Rock King also returned to the Magma Ocean, and the surroundings of the Bridge of Rebirth quickly plunged back into darkness.

"Did you wake us up?"

Yin Meng looked at Ye Xuan with astonished eyes, "Junior Brother Ye, why were you unaffected by the Illusion Array?"

Even she had been affected, so was Ye Xuan’s strength greater than hers?

"I have done some research on Illusion Techniques. Although this Illusion Array is ancient, its power is not at its peak. If Senior Sister weren’t completely unguarded, you wouldn’t have fallen into it."

Ye Xuan neither confirmed nor denied, simply smiling in response.

"Yes, Senior Sister, Ye Xuan knows a lot of strange and unusual things. You can take your time to find out more after we get back. But for now, we should quickly leave this place. We owe our escape this time to Ye Xuan. Let’s not put everyone in danger again."

Zuo Lingyun, knowing that Ye Xuan hid many tactics, also spoke up for him.

"Alright."

Yin Meng nodded, but she still looked at Ye Xuan, saying, "Thank you for this time; we all owe you a favor."

Yin Meng was the sort of person who always repaid her debts. If Ye Xuan hadn’t stepped in just now, they would likely be in peril, and not have passed through the Bridge of Rebirth so smoothly.

"We’re all brothers and sisters of the same sect; there’s no need for such polite words."

Ye Xuan really didn’t care about owing someone a favor. To tell the truth, he would only make a move when it was within his capacity. If even he was uncertain back then, he wouldn’t have hesitated to leave on his own because, after all, only by preserving his own life could he consider the lives of others.

"No, this is a great debt of gratitude that must be repaid. What’s more, your current situation in the trial isn’t favorable, Junior Brother Ye. Rest assured, as long as you are with us, I won’t let you face those people alone."

Yin Meng’s gaze sharpened, clearly referring to Huo Yuan and Dongfang Yun among others.

"Then, thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister."

Ye Xuan clasped his hands in thanks. Although he wasn’t afraid of those people, having more friends was always better than more enemies.

Yin Meng hadn’t been close to him before and certainly hadn’t thought of helping him; it was only because he had now done her a favor that her attitude changed.

The others also looked as though they had survived a calamity. This crisis truly made them experience the threat of a life-and-death trial.

"Let’s go!"

The group set off once more. This time, they encountered no major trouble on their way. After traveling for the better part of the day, they finally left the dark underground area and returned to the surface world.

Within sight lay a lush expanse of mountains and forests, and their emergence confirmed they were indeed within Martial God Mountain and no longer in the peripheral areas.

Upon reaching this location, the atmosphere around them grew busier. Due to a bit of bad luck, their group had taken a slightly longer route and could be said to have delayed considerably. Strong participants in the trial, assuming they were competent, must have already reached various places on Martial God Mountain, using all sorts of methods to earn points...

Tap.

Ye Xuan’s foot lightly touched the trunk of a sturdy tree, and his body shot out like an arrow. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked through the gaps in the forest canopy to the distant, obscure vista where a mighty peak loomed, almost piercing the sky. That must be the highest point of Martial God Mountain.

It was the destination of everyone present. However, only the most outstanding among the trialists would eventually gain entry there.

While Ye Xuan was observing the terrain around him, a noisy commotion from ahead caught his attention.

Drawing a bit closer, he discovered a conflict in progress. It seemed that a dozen strong individuals were besieging seven figures, who were clearly outmatched and growing progressively more exhausted amidst the onslaught, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"A bunch of idiots, hand over the points you have, or don’t blame us for being ruthless," a gaunt young man observed the breaking seven, sneering with malicious glee.

This young man was none other than Zhai Tian, the young genius of Emperor Xi Sect.

"Hehe, seems like our luck isn’t too bad, bumping into these so-called top talents of the Eight Great Spirit Domains. I must say, outside the Central Domain, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be called a genius. With your skills, you don’t deserve the title of genius; it would be more appropriate to call you fools."

Another disciple of Emperor Xi Sect scornfully laughed.

In the besieged group, Ye Xuan surprisingly recognized all seven individuals; they were Qin Wuyan, Duanmu Yu, Bu Qianfan, the Thousand-Faced Lady, and others who had appeared in the Eight Great Spirit Domains’ preliminary competition, as well as Ye Xuan’s former senior brother Xue Lingzi.

These individuals from the other Spirit Domains had clearly come together as a group but compared to the disciples of the Emperor Xi Sect, the gap in strength was unabashedly clear.
