Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 738 - 732: Murderous Intent

"Go to hell!"

Huo Yuan’s eyes widened, filled with murderous intent, as he sought to kill Ye Xuan in one fell swoop.

The blade’s radiance also closed in on Ye Xuan, its oppressive might terrifying beyond compare.

However, Ye Xuan himself was not panicked at all; as the blade’s radiance neared, a flicker from the Qiankun Ring on his finger made an ancient book appear in his hand, which he then spread open.

Boom!

The blade’s radiance struck the opened pages of the book but failed to inflict even a scratch, and on the surface of those pages, the words "Earth Emperor’s Book" could clearly be seen.

"The Earth Emperor’s Book! You even have the Earth Emperor’s Book in your possession!"

Huo Yuan screamed in shock, his face filled with disbelief. He could never have imagined that Ye Xuan had one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts.

Besides the Human Emperor’s Scepter, there was also the Earth Emperor’s Book.

Should this news spread, it would inevitably lead to an uproar. Just one Human Emperor’s Scepter might already be enough to have those big shots from all sides flocking to it, and if there were also an Earth Emperor’s Book, the entire Central Domain would surely be in a state of turmoil, stirring up waves of shock.

"Ye Xuan, an innocent may hold a jade unhindered, but possessing a treasure brings misfortune upon oneself. With so many peerless treasures in your hands, once the word gets out, your death is certain!"

Huo Yuan’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, no wonder this kid’s strength had improved so rapidly. With the Human Emperor’s Scepter and Earth Emperor’s Book, if he could obtain these two treasures, he would certainly possess a strength even greater than Ye Xuan’s. Having these two items in Ye Xuan’s hands was simply a waste of heaven’s gifts.

"No one will know about it, because it will not spread."

With a flip of his palm, Ye Xuan stowed the Earth Emperor’s Book away again, while behind Huo Yuan, the devouring vortex spread out once more, swallowing Huo Yuan whole.

"Damn it!"

The armor on Huo Yuan’s body cracked, his Protective True Essence dispersed.

"Ye Xuan, I am the most valued genius of the Emperor Xi Sect, the Sect Leader even lit a life-origin lamp for me. If I die, the Sect Leader will find out immediately."

As Huo Yuan’s Sacred Body was slowly consumed and crumbled, he knew death was inevitable, yet his expression became even more frenzied, "I came to the Martial God Mountain not only to enter the Martial God Tower but also to eliminate you. Now that I’m dead, you will be the prime suspect!"

"Ye Xuan, the Emperor Xi Sect will surely not let you off! Just await your death!"

As his body collapsed, Huo Yuan’s voice echoed in the passage, taking a long time to finally fade away.

At this moment, in the distant Central Domain, within a mountain gate where Spiritual Energy was rich, stood towering and grand buildings.

Here was the home of one of the Central Domain’s colossal forces, the Emperor Xi Sect.

Crack!

Within the depths of a great hall of the Emperor Xi Sect, a man in white robes sat cross-legged on the floor. In front of him, a bright lamp suddenly shattered.

In that instant, the man’s tightly closed eyes abruptly opened.

"Huo Yuan is dead?"

The pupils of the man in white narrowed, a hint of shock that could not be concealed surfaced in his eyes.

Huo Yuan was the most outstanding genius of his Emperor Xi Sect, seen as the future pillar of the next generation, the one he had great hopes for. Unexpectedly, he had perished within Martial God Mountain.

"With Huo Yuan carrying the Ancient Emperor Battle God Skill and armed with Blood Emperor Martial Arts and the Blood Emperor Pill as his trump card, not even the top ten of the Holy List could have killed him. Who could it possibly be?"

The middle-aged man in white had a gloomy expression. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and infused a stream of True Yuan into the Life Lantern. The next moment, an image appeared before him.

That scene depicted Huo Yuan being swallowed by the vortex. However, the scene was incomplete, lasting only an instant—within the blink of an eye, Huo Yuan was consumed and vanished within the passageway.

Facing Huo Yuan was only the blurry image of a person, unclear in all aspects except for the blue clothing worn by the young man.

"What sort of Martial Arts is this, that even after taking the Blood Emperor Pill, it couldn’t be withstood?"

The man in white could tell that Huo Yuan had taken the Blood Emperor Pill just before his death, but even then, he had still been devoured by the vortex.

"Who could the murderer be?"

As the image froze, the middle-aged man in white revealed a contemplative look. Huo Yuan was a disciple of the Emperor Xi Sect and the thirteenth-ranked genius on the Holy List. Among the Trialists who entered the Martial God Mountain this time, there were very few who could have killed him.

"Could it be that kid?"

The middle-aged man thought of Ye Xuan, and once again, True Yuan surged between his palms. The previously paused image began to change, and this time, Huo Yuan’s voice from just before his death echoed out.

"Ye Xuan, the Emperor Xi Sect will certainly not let you go! Wait for your death!"

The voice was laden with profound hatred.

"It truly was that bastard!"

The man in white’s eyes instantly turned fierce. Previously, when Ye Xuan had killed Kong Yin and Ling Yu, he hadn’t been too concerned—those two weren’t anything special. They together weren’t even worth one Huo Yuan; ten of them would not measure up. But Ye Xuan killing Huo Yuan was a different matter entirely.

"Bastard, once you come out of the Martial God Mountain, your death will be waiting!"

A cold murderous intent surged in the eyes of the middle-aged man in white.

...

In the passageway of the Artifact Pavilion.

"Are you alright?"

After the great battle, Ling Qianxue quickly rushed to Ye Xuan’s side. Even though she looked pale, as delicate as fragile porcelain, she still let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Xuan was not seriously harmed. Huo Yuan’s strength was too strong, and his hidden cards were endless. Ye Xuan could suppress him, but if Huo Yuan was driven to desperation, he might just decide to take Ye Xuan down with him.

"I’m fine. What about you?"

Ye Xuan grabbed Ling Qianxue’s hand. Her hand was soft, smooth, and supple. Normally, it would carry some warmth, but now it felt cold to the touch. When soul power penetrated into it, Ye Xuan found that Ling Qianxue’s meridians were in complete disarray, some even broken shatteringly.

It seemed that using that strange force also came with significant side effects.

Ling Qianxue pulled out a slender, fair hand, took a handkerchief, and wiped the blood from the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth. "You don’t need to worry about me. That force is highly compatible with my body; it is just too vast. It will not harm me, and with some time for recuperation, I should be fine."

"That’s good to hear."

Ye Xuan shook his head and gently stroked Ling Qianxue’s soft, black hair. "I have two Ancient Saint Artifacts protecting me, so don’t worry. However, killing Huo Yuan this time, if the people from Emperor Xi Sect find out, it’s likely to cause quite a bit of trouble."

Huo Yuan had mentioned the Life Lantern before, and if it was indeed as he said, the higher-ups of the Emperor Xi Sect wouldn’t easily let the matter rest.

"Once you exit the Martial God Mountain, you must immediately rush back to the Sect. Even if people from Emperor Xi Sect want revenge, they would not dare to take someone from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land."

Ling Qianxue knew what Ye Xuan was worried about. Indeed, the current situation was quite troublesome.

But the power of Emperor Xi Sect still couldn’t compare to the Heavenly Martial Holy Land; as long as Ye Xuan returned to the Sect, he would be safe from any harm.
