Bang!
Heavenly Fire God Lord's physical body exploded on the spot, nearly smashed into powder. What Celestial Venerable's body had not been forged through countless calamities and tribulations? It was said to remain unscathed through ten thousand tribulations, untouched by karma—yet now, Ye Xiwen had shattered it to pieces.
And this had been his body at its peak. Though his realm had fallen, Heavenly Fire God Lord's physical body remained incomparably formidable, far surpassing an ordinary Third Stage expert. That was why he had been several times stronger than other Third Stage experts. Yet before Ye Xiwen, all of it was like plastic foam, vanishing into nothingness in an instant.
His Primordial Spirit fled like a streak of light, trying to escape. Everyone could even see the panic on his Primordial Spirit's face. Many supreme beings gasped sharply. How desperate did a Celestial Venerable have to be before deciding to abandon his physical body?
If he had not condensed his Primordial Spirit and fled, his physical body's speed would never have carried him beyond Ye Xiwen's pursuit.
Yet even so, it was useless. Ye Xiwen's speed had reached the utmost limit of the world. He spread out the laws of time, forming a domain of time laws that instantly slowed Heavenly Fire God Lord's Primordial Spirit. Then he seized it in his hand, ready to crush it to death.
He intended to settle accounts once and for all with this enemy who had made him tremble with fear ever since he had been an Emperor Lord.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a great shout rang out. A figure tore through the sky and arrived before Ye Xiwen. Who else could it have been but the Southern Celestial Venerable?
"What, Southern Celestial Venerable? Are you going to stop me?" Ye Xiwen narrowed his eyes
