"So strong!"
Gazing at the young figure in the distance ahead, wielding saber gleams and a rain of swords, Chen Yuan and the others had looks of utter shock in their eyes.
An utterly terrifying presence surrounded Ning Xuanyuan, and an incomparable sharpness radiated from every part of him. His sword intent surged to the heavens; his saber gleams could destroy the world.
Streaks of cold light raged through the void, destroying everything in their path. The space around them seemed to tremble. It was terrifying.
Although Chen Yuan was at the Life Palace Realm, he could sense a terrifying intent from Ning Xuanyuan. It was so powerful that even his heart trembled, let alone Chen Huang and the others.
At that moment, the Voids in this space were all Silver Rank, and high-tier Silver Rank at that. Their strength was comparable to that of a human at the peak of the Soul Sea Realm! Yet before Ning Xuanyuan, they were like melons and vegetables beneath his blades, utterly unable to fight back.
Most shocking of all, Ning Xuanyuan had already been fighting here for an entire day and night!
Even Chen Yuan's squad would never have lasted so long under a siege by so many Silver Voids.
After all, those Voids were not particularly intelligent, and their nature meant they knew neither fear nor fatigue. They knew only to fight madly until they had utterly killed the intruders who entered this place.
The toll such intense fighting took on a person went without saying. Yet Ning Xuanyuan was like a tireless killing machine. Even Chen Yuan wondered if he would refuse to stop until he had killed every Void here.
By now, the spatial rings of Chen Yuan and the others were already full of Soul Jade, and even their pockets were stuffed to the brim. If their results were measured by the amount of Soul Jade collected, Ning Xuanyuan alone had matched what their squad gathered in a month!
How many Silver Voids had Ning Xuanyuan slain?
Just then, a hoarse roar suddenly came from the passage ahead, and a figure strode out.
The figure was imposing beyond compare, clad in golden armor. It bore an unparalleled presence, like a prince among men.
"Blood Scion, be careful! That's a Gold Rank Void!" Chen Yuan's expression immediately tightened. As he shouted the warning, he and the others beside him hurried forward, intending to rush to Ning Xuanyuan's side.
"Don't come over."
But a voice brought them to a halt. Ning Xuanyuan turned lightly, his saber gleam and sword intent drawing a bright streak of light through the void and tearing apart the bodies of the Voids around him.
With the appearance of the golden figure, the Silver Voids farther away all retreated and gathered behind the Golden Void. Low growls rumbled ceaselessly from their mouths, and a savage light flickered in their eyes.
"Blood Scion?"
Chen Yuan's expression was extremely grave. A Golden Void was far stronger than a Silver Void. The difference of a single rank represented a vast gulf in strength.
Normally, Voids of different ranks did not cross boundaries. Could it be that Ning Xuanyuan had slain so many Silver Voids that he had attracted a Golden Void from the next level?
The Golden Void continued walking toward Ning Xuanyuan, and a terrifying presence immediately swept out from it.
The Golden Void's body seemed to become an insubstantial shadow. An immensely powerful will surged over it—a will at the Life Palace Realm level!
Ning Xuanyuan stood where he was, surrounded by an unstoppable saber and sword intent that annihilated the void.
Yet the Golden Void seemed to disregard everything as he continued forward, passing through the storm of sabers and swords. An increasingly powerful, astonishing presence emanated from him, shaking the void. It was terrifying.
Ning Xuanyuan's expression remained calm, though his eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense how powerful his opponent was. But so what? It was only a Golden Void!
"Clang!"
A clear sword cry rang out. Streaks of sword light flowed forth like water, then turned into a torrential rain that poured down, instantly engulfing the Golden Void.
But at that moment, an incomparably violent will burst from the Golden Void. Countless palm imprints blasted out in an instant, sweeping away everything.
Each palm imprint contained an immensely dense death Qi. Beneath those palms of death, the sword gleams rapidly shattered and vanished.
Ning Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and another sword cry rang out. In an instant, sword gleams pierced through the air and struck into the Golden Void's body.
Yet the Golden Void's body seemed to shimmer with an ethereal light. A terrifying light of death bloomed and curled around its form. At the same time, the pressure of a powerful will descended, bearing down on Ning Xuanyuan. In that instant, Ning Xuanyuan's body seemed to sink slightly.
Ning Xuanyuan's gaze sharpened. The pressure of a Life Palace-level will was indeed terrifying.
He raised his left hand, and a saber gleam tore through everything, directly shattering the palm imprints of death striking toward him.
The Golden Void let out a roar and shot forward like a blurred afterimage, moving at an inconceivable speed. Countless terrifying, overlapping palm imprints surrounded its body and blasted toward Ning Xuanyuan.
A terrifying storm of sabers and swords suddenly swept up around Ning Xuanyuan, continuously shattering the incoming palm imprints of death. The storm pressed forward, destroying everything in its path.
The Golden Void, however, seemed to pay it no heed and walked straight toward the storm of sabers and swords. How laughable that a Soul Sea Realm being would dare contend with him!
The instant the Golden Void stepped into the storm, Ning Xuanyuan felt a terrifying force of will descend from above and bear down on him. Its might was wildly savage, instilling a sense of helplessness against a force that could not be resisted. It sought to crush his body and destroy his will.
But in the next moment, a strange radiance seemed to appear within Ning Xuanyuan. Bathed in it, the young man seemed to become an emperor among men, unmatched beneath the heavens!
Saber and sword rose together—the Evil Emperor's divine skills!
One Sword Concealed in the Void!
One Saber Cuts Through the Void!
Terrifying saber and sword intent struck, and the Golden Void seemed to sense the threat. He had dared to close in on Ning Xuanyuan and attempt to kill him only because he believed the power of his own will could suppress Ning Xuanyuan, who was at the Soul Sea Realm.
But reality was not what he had imagined.
"Screech!"
A piercing cry rang out. A streak of cold light bloomed in Ning Xuanyuan's hand and pierced straight through the Golden Void's body.
The Golden Void's body suddenly stiffened, and its face seemed to twist.
"Kill!" Ning Xuanyuan shouted coldly. The storm of sabers and swords annihilated everything, utterly tearing the Golden Void apart. Fear and unwillingness appeared on its face, but in the end, its body was torn to pieces and reduced to nothing.
"Clatter!"
With a crisp sound, a round Soul Jade fell to the ground. Deathly silence filled the space around them, and even the air seemed to have stopped moving.
