Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 728 - 722 Martial Spirit

"It’s serious."

Those on the ground stimulated their True Yuan as if to ward off the residual shockwaves, exchanging glances before all gazed with some astonishment at the slender figure in the sky.

Yin Meng’s move was broken, while Ye Xuan’s was not. It was undeniable that Yin Meng had neutralized a part of the sphere’s power, but Ye Xuan had undoubtedly borne the brunt of it.

"This Junior Brother Ye Xuan..."

Yin Meng also looked at Ye Xuan with disbelief. She had previously doubted whether Ye Xuan had the ability to kill Zhai Tian, but now she was fully convinced that Ye Xuan indeed possessed that strength.

"What a lively scene here, such a bustling place, missing me, Ling Hanye, would be utmost dullness, wouldn’t it?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Just as the battle was not over yet, a figure appeared before everyone, exuding extremely fierce aura, moving like the wind, with presence yet traceless—it was Ling Hanye.

"Brother Ling!"

Seeing Ling Hanye show up, the disciples of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land revealed joyful expressions. They had been somewhat concerned about the outcome of the fight, but now with Ling Hanye’s arrival, they were utterly relieved.

Huo Yuan was the thirteenth-ranked ferocious man on the Holy List, but their Brother Ling was the seventh-ranked ruthless one.

"Ling Hanye!"

Huo Yuan’s face also showed a hint of wariness; he could belittle Yin Meng, but he couldn’t underestimate Ling Hanye.

"Huo Yuan, what’s the matter? Can’t we talk it out instead of causing such a commotion?"

Ling Hanye looked at Huo Yuan with a smile, seemingly amiable, but his tone carried a hint of chill.

"This ruthless fellow has senselessly inflicted harm on my junior Brother Zhai Tian, with such deep hatred, we cannot easily let it go," Huo Yuan said coldly.

"Zhai Tian?"

Ling Hanye appeared surprised for a moment, but soon his expression returned to normal, and he said lightly, "Killed him, that’s all there is to it, what’s the big deal? If one’s strength is insufficient, they are fated to die on Martial God Mountain, sooner or later. You’ll have the chance for revenge, but not now."

Ling Hanye’s words were quite blunt, clearly implying that Martial God Mountain was a place where killing occurred, that death was due to inferior ability and no one else could be blamed—revenge was justifiable. But today, with him present here, Huo Yuan definitely couldn’t kill Ye Xuan. Perhaps when Ye Xuan was alone, he might have a chance.

Even if Huo Yuan killed Ye Xuan then, they wouldn’t pursue it. His words were direct but also quite domineering and logical.

"Humph, kid, unless you keep hiding, when I find the opportunity, I will tear you to pieces."

Knowing he had no chance, Huo Yuan could only utter a harsh threat and then left the place along with the disciples of the Emperor Xi Sect.

"Thank you, Brother Ling, for the rescue."

After Huo Yuan had left, Ye Xuan also bowed to Ling Hanye.

"A rescue?"

Ling Hanye glanced at Ye Xuan, then revealed a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "I don’t think this qualifies as a rescue. If things had really escalated, Huo Yuan might not have been able to do much to you, right?"

He looked at Ye Xuan with a smiling gaze, as if trying to discern something from Ye Xuan’s expression.

"Brother Ling jests. Huo Yuan is the thirteenth-ranked expert on the Holy List, and with my modest skills, being lucky to withstand two of his moves is already fortunate. If the fight had continued, I fear the consequences would be unthinkable."

Ye Xuan said with a smile, shaking his head. Indeed, he now had the power to fight Huo Yuan, but that was on the condition that he activated the Earth Emperor Book and the Human Emperor’s Scepter, both Ancient Holy Artifacts, to their full potential. Doing so would expose his trump cards, and showing his hand before reaching the summit of Martial God Mountain was not a wise move.

"Let’s drop it, but you have to be careful now. Huo Yuan is a person who seeks revenge for the slightest grievance. You already had a rift with Emperor Xi Sect, and now that you’ve killed Zhai Tian, he definitely won’t let it go."

Ling Hanye reminded him.

"I know that. It’s not that simple for him to take my life."

Ye Xuan was noncommittal. If he had feared Huo Yuan, he wouldn’t have killed Zhai Tian to begin with and would have hidden away somewhere by now.

"Let’s go. Further ahead is the core area of Martial God Mountain. It’s easier to earn points there."

Ling Hanye didn’t doubt Ye Xuan’s abilities. Even he found Ye Xuan unfathomable, certain that Ye Xuan’s methods were not limited to what was apparent.

With that, he too moved, transforming into a streak of light and swept toward the distance.

Ye Xuan didn’t speak. He just quietly followed, and the others, too, began to move. Two groups merged into one, sweeping out with great momentum.

Everyone rushed along the way, and about half an hour later, Ye Xuan could feel that Ling Hanye’s speed had slowed down ahead.

"We’re almost there."

Ling Hanye’s voice perked up Ye Xuan’s spirit. He looked into the distance and indeed sensed some unusual fluctuations of nature’s spiritual energy in that far direction.

A few minutes later, Mu Chen and his party landed on a mountainside. Their gaze was directed toward the ground ahead, where a depression formed between several peaks. However, in that place shimmered dazzling light, and shadows loomed within it, each emitting astonishing spiritual power fluctuations. The number of these entities was at least close to a thousand.

Those dazzling lights were all transparent human figures, ferocious in aura, emerging from the mountain tops ahead.

"Those are Martial Spirits, a unique spiritual body that exists within Martial God Mountain."

Beside Ye Xuan, Yin Meng looked at the dense transparent figures with a solemn expression.

"So many Martial Spirits."

Zuo Lingyun, looking at the staggering number of Martial Spirits, also grew more solemn by the moment.

"There are even stronger ones in the depths."

Ling Hanye’s gaze was fixated on the depths, and he spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan shifted his gaze and saw some exceptionally tall shadows in the deepest part. Bursts of powerful pressure emanated from their bodies.

That fluctuation was far superior to the other Martial Spirits.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

"Those are the Spirit Generals born among the Martial Spirits, with strength comparable to that of Saint Realm cultivators."

Yin Meng also stepped forward, her expression alert.

"It’s better to avoid them if possible. With such a number, they won’t be easy to deal with."

Ye Xuan turned his head to look at the others. With such a scale of Martial Spirits, even someone as strong as Ling Hanye might not come out unscathed from their onslaught, and others could very likely perish within it.

"We are not the only group here."

Ling Hanye’s gaze suddenly swept toward several other mountain tops. There were also several groups of people there, all watching the wave of spirits in front of them without a hurry to retreat, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.
