Dragon Clan!

"Ying Xuan, you've actually recovered? What, do you also want to be my enemy?"

The moment the name Ying Xuan was uttered, everyone present with some knowledge immediately changed color!

Xia Yan was even more shocked.

Dark Saint Ying Xuan is a renowned Heavenly Human Martial Saint, and he has a considerable grudge against the Mystic Xia Imperial Family!

Over the centuries, many direct descendants of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family have been assassinated by Ying Xuan.

This is also one of the reasons for the continuous decline of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family. Talented children are always killed, so naturally they cannot cultivate a large number of martial arts experts, and their decline is normal.

Of course, Ying Xuan couldn't always have the upper hand.

A century ago, the Mystic Xia Imperial Family devised a plan to ambush and kill Ying Xuan, using their considerable resources to severely injure this Dark Saint.

In order to survive, Ying Xuan even resorted to using Soul Escape, sacrificing part of his soul to escape.

The Mystic Xia Imperial Family originally thought that even if Ying Xuan didn't die, he would need to heal for several centuries.

However, Ying Xuan has recovered to his peak in just one century. Now that he has appeared, he must be seeking revenge against the Mystic Xia Imperial Family!

Thinking of this, Xia Yan and the Illusion Venerable exchanged a glance, and both women turned pale.

At this moment, Ying Xuan also looked at Meng Yunjie and said indifferently, "Wind Saint, I only want to seek revenge on the Mystic Xia Imperial Family. I do not want to make things difficult for you. I hope you will be sensible. Otherwise, when that silver beast Dong Lei Zhen arrives, you will have no choice."

"Ying Xuan, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm easily intimidated?"

Meng Yunjie narrowed her blue eyes, and her entire demeanor instantly changed from aloof and noble to cold and sharp!

Immediately afterwards, Meng Yunjie stretched out her fair and delicate hand, and with a light grasp, she held an ancient longsword with a black scabbard in her palm!

"Whoosh!!"

Meng Yunjie drew the sword, and saw that the sword's blade was bluish-white, with blue lotus flowers covering it, and a huge amount of wind elements gathered instantly!

"Sword Name: Qingping!"

Before she finished speaking, Meng Yunjie transformed into a stream of light and thrust her sword straight at him!

This sword strike was devoid of any fancy moves, not even any fluctuations in energy or spatial distortion, yet Ying Xuan couldn't dodge it!

Whether it was a spatial barrier or a Yuan Qi defense, Ying Xuan even tried to use teleportation, but to no avail.

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar resounded as Ying Xuan's head was pierced by the sword, and he exploded instantly!

Ying Xuan, who had lost his head, did not die. Instead, he was pushed back a long way, and the black mist covering his body surged towards his head, instantly condensing into a brand new head.

To be headless yet not die, to have severed limbs regenerate at will—this is the power of a Martial Saint!

"Azure Ripple Sword... you actually possess Innate Artifact?"

Ying Xuan stared at the Azure Ripple Sword in Meng Yunjie's hand, a look of shock flashing in his dark eyes, and even the Black Mist around his body churned and swayed due to the intense emotional turmoil.

How is that possible?

How could she possibly possess Innate Artifact?

You must know that Innate Artifact is the ultimate Emperor Artifacts of the Azure Blue World, surpassing even an Imperial Artifact!

Even during the mythical era when Martial Emperors suppressed the world, very few Innate Artifact were created, and even fewer people possessed them!

Every Innate Artifact contains the origin of the universe; it is the world's first and strongest weapon!

If Emperor Artifacts can easily shatter an ordinary planet, it can be called a planet-destroying weapon. Then Innate Artifact can be called a boundary-breaking weapon!

Because as long as a powerful enough cultivator can unleash the full power of Innate Artifact, it is enough to destroy a world!

In ancient times, the Demon Race who invaded the Azure Blue World were destroyed by Innate Artifact.

At that time, many martial gods of the Azure Blue World joined forces and used an Innate Artifact, the Demon Refining Pot, to directly refine the Demon Realm where the Demon Race lived into a massive amount of primordial energy.

Therefore, Innate Artifact are also known as artifacts that destroy worlds!

The proverb "Innate Artifact cannot be defeated by force" has been passed down from that era to the present day!

Thinking that Meng Yunjie, a mere Martial Saint, actually possessed Innate Artifact even Martial Emperors of the mythical era could hardly possess, Ying Xuan felt more awe than jealousy!

With her Innate Artifact, Meng Yunjie is capable of fighting against more than three Martial Saints on her own. How could Ying Xuan possibly match her alone?

"Let's retreat first as a sign of respect."

Ying Xuan was very decisive and acted in accordance with his words. He didn't even say a harsh word before leaving. He directly used his spatial escape technique and slipped away.

Are you kidding me? Facing an opponent with an Innate Artifact, Ying Xuan, a Heavenly Human Martial Saint, not running away and waiting to die?

Seeing Ying Xuan retreat decisively, Meng Yunjie did not pursue him, but immediately put away her Azure Ripple Sword, her face slightly pale.

While the power of Innate Artifact is indeed formidable, the amount of vital energy required to activate them each time is also enormous!

Even with Meng Yunjie's current strength as a Supreme Martial Saint, she could only use the Azure Ripple Sword for a minute at most before exhausting all her vital energy, mental strength, and physical strength.

In fact, just activating the Azure Ripple Sword for a second had consumed a lot of Meng Yunjie's vital energy, causing her face to turn somewhat pale.

However, even though she had expended some energy, her imposing presence still caused everyone present to lower their heads, and no one dared to look directly at her.

However, bowing one's head is only on the surface; in secret, countless powerful figures are plotting something in their hearts.

Everyone present heard Ying Xuan's exclamation about a "Innate Artifact"!

Azure Ripple Sword!

Innate Artifact!

This is a world-destroying weapon capable of annihilating an entire world!

Who wouldn't want that?

Having Innate Artifact is enough to make a great power prosper and stand firm forever!

Even a martial saint cannot stop people's greed!

Moreover, the powerful individuals who have reached the end of this spatial passage are all very strong, not to mention who among them doesn't have a powerful backer? Who isn't supported by a major force?

A mere martial saint of the Wind Luo Kingdom is not enough to frighten these powerful and influential figures.

Of course, even though they were already plotting how to deal with Meng Yunjie, everyone present pretended to be respectful, bowing their heads and looking like a flock of trembling sheep.

Meng Yunjie was unaware that a large group of cunning old foxes had their eyes on her. She still believed her authority had completely intimidated these petty scoundrels, so she smirked with satisfaction and coldly ordered, "Let's go!!"

These words were naturally spoken to Xia Yan and the others.

Before she finished speaking, Meng Yunjie turned around, waved her sleeves, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the end of the spatial passage.

Xia Yan, Yun Xin Yue, and Shang Buyu quickly followed.

Meanwhile, Illusion Venerable Xia Yin, Wen Fengxiang, Shang Daoming, and others led the powerful members of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family, the Righteous Qi Sect, and the Longshen Merchant Family, transforming into streaks of light and following after them.

After that, the powerful figures from various factions waited for a while before daring to continue their advance.

This demonstrates the immense prestige of the Wind Saint and also indicates that the intelligence of the powerful figures present is quite high.

"We're almost there. Once we enter the Thunder Emperor Relic, everyone be careful."

Meng Yunjie gave a reminder, looking ahead, where the fluctuations began to stabilize, and a dazzling light gate could be faintly seen, which was the end of the spatial passage.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

At that very moment, the spatial passage swiftly pierced through, and the dazzling light at its end surged forth. Xia Yan and the others instantly traversed into the portal of light.

In an instant, Xia Yan and the others immediately noticed that the space was shaking violently, but fortunately, this fluctuation only lasted for a moment before it calmed down.

The next second, their feet finally touched solid ground.

Just as they stepped onto solid ground, Meng Yunjie, who was in front, immediately waved her sleeves and used wind elements to condense a huge protective shield of energy to protect the people.

At this moment, Xia Yan and the others' field of vision quickly became wider and brighter.

Then, Xia Yan and the others were slightly taken aback.

At this moment, they stood atop a towering, majestic mountain peak. The entire space was utterly silent, devoid even of the sounds of insects, fish, birds, and beasts, as if life itself had vanished.

However, a thunderous aura, filled with the power of destruction and creation, rippled through this small world created by the Thunder Emperor.

??

In this ancient little world, dark clouds loomed, and silver lightning, like electric snakes, appeared and disappeared, swirling among the clouds, while the sounds of thunder and lightning constantly resounded.

Above the ground, mountain peaks rise abruptly, and on those mountains, one can vaguely see some ancient-style palaces.

And in the distant sky, islands float.

These islands are almost all inverted triangles, as if a powerful cultivator had shaved off the entire mountain peak, turning the mountains upside down, with the sharp mountaintops at the bottom and the smoothed-down bases at the top. Then, various floating arrays were inscribed on the surface of the mountains, turning them into floating islands where people could live.

Such a grand gesture is truly astonishing!

However, whether it's the mountains, the floating islands, or the ancient palaces, they all show signs of desolation.

Without grass and trees, without insects, fish, birds and beasts, it seems that there is no life at all.

Meng Yunjie's expression, however, was rather solemn.

Because she sensed some auras that shouldn't have been there.

These auras belong to some rather terrifying races, and to others to extremely powerful cultivators.

These races and powerful beings must have all perished within this small world. Their lingering aura, even after many eras, remains difficult to dissipate, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

The problem is that these races and powerful individuals shouldn't exist in this small world created by the Thunder Emperor.

Because they are the great enemies of the Thunder Emperor and the human race!

It seems that there are hidden reasons behind the fall of the Thunder Emperor and the collapse of the Void Thunder Palace.

Thinking this, Meng Yunjie's expression grew increasingly solemn, her face so gloomy it seemed as if water was about to drip from it.

Seeing that the Wind Saint's expression was not good, Illusion Venerable Xia Yin pondered for a moment, then used his spiritual power to explore this small world.

Then, her expression turned ugly.

Clearly, she also sensed those mysterious and powerful auras.

These auras were almost all much stronger than her, a Martial Venerable!

However, Xia Yin was unaware that the owners of these powerful auras should not have been present within the Thunder Emperor Relic.

She simply felt that this small world truly lived up to its reputation as the Thunder Emperor Relic, as it contained so many powerful individuals.

Seeing the gloomy expressions on the faces of both the Wind Saint and the Illusion Venerable, the others realized that something was wrong.

Xia Yan also used her spiritual power to comprehend it for a moment. Then she, Yun Xin Yue, and Shang Buyu exchanged glances, all looking somewhat bewildered.

They didn't feel anything, except that their souls felt somewhat oppressed.

"Alright, stop spacing out."

With a flick of her sleeve, Meng Yunjie's clear and melodious voice rang out, "This is only the outermost edge of the Thunder Emperor Relic. Will you stay with me or split up?"

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally wanted to follow this Wind Saint.

After all, who knows how many dangers lie within the Thunder Emperor Relic? It's safer to go with a Martial Saint expert.

Seeing that everyone wanted to follow her, Meng Yunjie sighed, but could only frown, look up to identify the direction, and then transform into a streak of light, shooting towards the palaces on the floating islands in the distant sky!

People quickly followed behind her.

At this moment, Xia Yan, who was flying high in the sky, casually looked down, but her expression suddenly changed.

Because she suddenly discovered that on that vast land, there were countless deep, narrow cracks and huge basins as if they had been created by a meteorite impact!

These abyssal fissures and meteorite basins have cleaved and crushed the vast land, creating a rather chaotic and terrifying landscape.

"Those marks were not formed naturally, but were caused by a large-scale battle between powerful individuals."

Meng Yunjie said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan and the others froze in surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.

Clearly, in those mythical, ancient, and even prehistoric times, a massive and extremely intense battle once took place in the Thunder Emperor Relic.

Moreover, the powerful figures participating in the great battle must be far beyond the level of Martial Saint!

Otherwise, Meng Yunjie wouldn't have used the word "strong" to refer to him.

With these thoughts in mind, people continued to gaze down at the traces of that ancient battle.

On the land, besides the deep fissures and meteorite basins that tore and crushed the earth, one could occasionally see the ruins of ancient cities.

These cities were all completely destroyed, and the scene looked quite tragic.

Seeing this, Xia Yan looked away with lingering fear and focused on flying at full speed.

Soon, the group arrived at a floating island. At this moment, Xia Yan noticed that some figures were also landing on the tops of some distant mountains.

Clearly, these figures were the powerful figures from various forces who had come to explore the Thunder Emperor Relic.

These powerful figures from various aristocratic families and sects did not immediately clash; instead, they greeted each other with respectful gestures.

After all, it would be rather brainless to start fighting and killing each other before fully understanding the situation of the Thunder Emperor Relic.

Xia Yan withdrew her gaze, and what appeared before them was a magnificent ancient hall.

The grand hall stood like a mountain, supported by massive stone pillars. In comparison, Xia Yan and her companions appeared as small as ants.

"Your Wind Saint, this is...?"

Xia Yan and the others looked at each other, all somewhat puzzled.
