Chapter 376: The Might of Xuantian, the Divine Soul Falls

BOOM!

The Vast Sword River, stretching across heaven and earth for thousands of miles, intertwined with the terrifying, dark vortex that seemed to be Devouring Heaven and Earth. They erupted with an unprecedented impact as endless, brilliant sword light and a somber, dark radiance clashed, unleashing a dazzling glow that illuminated the world!

SHHIIINNGG!

The next moment, the blood-red Vast Sword River—brimming with world-ending peril, endless killing intent, and stretching for thousands of miles—violently sliced the massive, dark vortex in two. The supreme Sword Qi annihilated everything, leaving only a void.

‘How is this possible?!’ The Blood Nether Celestial’s pupils contracted sharply, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

His pupils shrank in disbelief, as if he’d witnessed something inconceivable. The Dark Devouring God Technique, which he had expended Divine Soul Power to cast, had actually been annihilated by a single sword strike!

WHOOSH!

In the next instant, the Vast Sword River—blood-red, brimming with endless killing intent and heaven-shaking Divine Power—tore through the sky, carrying an ultimate Sword Intent as it hurtled toward the Blood Nether Celestial.

“Not good!”

Seeing the terrifyingly powerful Vast Sword River slashing toward him, the Blood Nether Celestial’s eyes widened, and he cursed inwardly. ‘This attack… I can actually feel the threat of annihilation from it!’

Are you kidding me?!

Here in the Celestial Essence Realm, he could accept being annihilated by the Celestial Dao,

but since when could a mere native of the Celestial Essence Realm dare to lord it over him?

At this thought, the Blood Nether Celestial’s exotically handsome face twisted into a ferocious snarl. Vast and majestic Demonic Power surged within him, and a terrifyingly peerless Demon Monster Dao Rhythm emanated from his body.

He then clenched his fist in the void. A colossal blood lotus suddenly materialized, like an incredibly sturdy fortress wall, shielding the Blood Nether Celestial within.

BANG!

The next instant, the boundless Heaven-Reaching Sword River descended upon the massive blood lotus defense, generating a terrifying shockwave. The surrounding space shattered, revealing a deep, dark abyss and unleashing torrents of astral wind.

SHHNNKK!

After clashing with the nine-petaled blood lotus for less than a moment, the boundless sword river, imbued with heaven-reaching Divine Power, effortlessly shattered it to dust and continued its unstoppable advance toward the Blood Nether Celestial.

“Damn it!” the Blood Nether Celestial cried in alarm, but before he could react, his entire body was annihilated by the Vast Sword River and its terrifying Divine Power.

“It’s… it’s over,” Gu Yun stammered, his eyes wide with dumbfounded shock. ‘Senior Brother Ye is just too overpowered! With strength like this, I’d believe it without a doubt if someone told me he was in the Unity Realm.’

“Very good!!”

“I am Li Wanjun. You have destroyed my Divine Soul’s Dao Body. I will remember you well. Believe me, we will meet again very soon. When we do, I will let all of you experience… …what true despair feels like!!”

Just as the Blood Nether Celestial’s body perished, this grand and majestic voice echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

“Then come and kill me.”

Ye Xuantian spoke with indifference. He stood suspended in the Void Celestial, a slender, handsome figure in a white robe. He had sharp, sword-like brows and eyes as deep as starlight, yet they held an endless killing intent. A terrifying Dao Rhythm and the ultimate power of his Sword Domain swirled around him.

…

「Meanwhile」

On the Cangwu Immortal Continent, far beyond the Celestial Essence Realm, across an endless and vast starry sky,

countless massive worlds, each one comparable to or even surpassing the Celestial Essence Realm, revolved in the vast cosmos.

Outside one particular, massive, dark world, an unbroken chain of majestic palaces floated, standing tall in the starry sky and exuding an ancient aura.

Within one of the ancient, majestic, dark purple Divine Halls, a towering man in a black robe was surrounded by a misty dark light. He exuded a terrifying demonic aura, powerful enough to make worlds tremble. Suddenly, he snapped open his cold, Netherworld-like eyes.

They flashed with unprecedented fury.

Just a moment ago, the Demon Fiend vessel for his Divine Soul, which he had dispatched to the Celestial Essence Realm, had been utterly destroyed.

‘Ye Xuantian!!’

Li Wanjun’s deep eyes blazed with endless killing intent. He seethed with anger, his body radiating a terrifying demonic aura. Its frightening power seemed to affect a distant world, one that appeared close but was in fact an immense distance away, causing it to shudder in its orbit.

‘How many years has it been?’ Since stepping into the Tribulation Cosmos Venerable Realm, he had never suffered such a humiliation.

His Divine Soul vessel had been slain by a mere Tongxuan Realm Cultivator. If word of this got out, not only would he be mocked by his rivals among the Demon Fiends of the Tribulation Cosmos Venerable Realm, he would likely become a laughingstock for every Tribulation Cosmos Cultivator in the entire Cangwu Immortal Continent!

Still, he couldn’t deny the truth. ‘What a monster.’ To comprehend Dao Domain Power while only in the Tongxuan Realm, to possess a god-like Sword Technique, and to have such rich combat experience… his skill was approaching the Dao itself.

A prodigy of this caliber would be considered top-tier even on the Cangwu Immortal Continent. If he didn’t eliminate this threat root and stem, and instead allowed him to mature, then in the future, he would be the one living in fear.

‘The Celestial Essence Realm…’

A flicker of killing intent glinted in Li Wanjun’s deep eyes. ‘It seems I must accelerate the invasion of that realm. Once I successfully descend upon the Celestial Essence Realm, no matter what heaven-defying tricks that boy has, he will have absolutely no hope of escaping my grasp.’

‘When that time comes, after I devour the Origin Power of the Celestial Essence Realm, my strength will surely soar. I’ve been stuck in the Tribulation Cosmos Realm Early Stage for far too long. If this venture allows me to devour a World Origin and increase my power, then strangling a budding prodigy in his cradle will be a welcome bonus.’
