Ye Xuan Hard-Clashes with Taiyi! Chance Encounter with Three Xiāo Fairies!

Above the East Sea, monstrous waves crashed against the shore.

Two streaks of light, one ahead and one behind, tore through the sky, dragging two white air currents ten thousand miles long across the sea's surface.

The golden light ahead was Ye Xuan, executing the Heavenly Peng Extreme Speed.

The terrifying crimson beam of light hot on his heels belonged to the enraged Primordial Unity Golden Immortal—the Red Dragon King, Ao Lie.

The chase had already spanned hundreds of millions of miles of ocean.

"Human brat! You can't escape!"

Ao Lie's roar crashed down like rolling thunder, blasting countless pillars of seawater from the surface below.

As a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he had already condensed the Five Qi in the Chest. His mana was inexhaustible, and his resonance with the Great Dao far surpassed that of a Golden Immortal.

As time passed, the distance between them was visibly shrinking.

Ahead, Ye Xuan's form suddenly halted.

He felt the murderous intent closing in from behind, and a flash of resolve gleamed in his eyes.

"Running won't work anymore."

If he kept fleeing, once his mana ran dry, he'd be nothing but a lamb for the slaughter.

Since that was the case, only a fight to the death remained!

"So what if he's a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal? Today, I'll see just how tough this Great Emperor's body really is!"

Ye Xuan spun around abruptly, planting his feet on the void. No more escape.

"Boom!"

The blood within him began to surge, roaring like a great river.

The Five Great Human Body Secret Realms erupted in full force!

Below his navel, the golden Sea of Suffering boiled, and the Life Spring gushed forth; within the five viscera of the Dao Palace, five deities chanted in unison; his four limbs pierced heaven and earth, the great dragon of his spine roared; and at his brow, the Immortal Platform blazed with dazzling undying divine light.

A domineering, peerless aura shot up from Ye Xuan, stirring the winds and clouds.

"Not running anymore?"

Ao Lie sneered at the sight, his ten-thousand-zhang draconic body coiling through the air, trailing crimson flames.

"Since you've stopped, then die obediently! This King will rip out your soul and suppress it beneath the sea eye for ten thousand years!"

"Enough talk!"

Ye Xuan's eyes blazed as his heavy pupils suddenly opened.

The world of black and white instantly transformed before him into a primordial realm of countless lines and particles.

"Chaos Heavy Pupils—Heaven Splitting!"

Ye Xuan roared.

Two gray, hazy beams shot from his eyes, weaving and evolving in the void in an instant.

In that moment, a vast and ancient Chaos domain descended out of thin air, directly enveloping Ao Lie's massive draconic body.

Within this domain, heaven and earth were first split apart—clear qi rose, turbid qi sank, and earth, water, fire, and wind raged wildly.

"What kind of divine ability is this?!"

Ao Lie's previously contemptuous expression shifted instantly.

He felt as if he had fallen into an independent Small World, where the surrounding Great Dao Laws were actively rejecting him.

His mana, which had once obeyed his every command, now moved sluggishly and with difficulty.

Those streams of Chaos Qi pressed down on his draconic body like heavy Shackles, instantly reducing his speed and strength by thirty percent!

"Break for this King!"

Ao Lie roared, unleashing his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation without reserve.

Above his head, five crimson air currents shot into the sky—the Five Qi in the Chest!

"Boom, rumble!"

Terrifying mana fluctuations exploded outward from him. Crimson dragon flames incinerated everything, forcibly pushing back the surrounding Chaos Qi.

"Crack!"

Ye Xuan's evolved Heaven Splitting domain, ultimately unable to withstand the full-force eruption of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal due to the gap in their realms, was covered in cracks before shattering with a bang.

"Pfft!"

The backlash struck Ye Xuan. He grunted, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not retreat an inch.

Though the domain had shattered, it had still managed to make Ao Lin suffer a minor loss—several dragon scales had been broken, and his aura wavered for just an instant.

That instant was the opening!

"Grass Character Sword Art!"

Ye Xuan pressed his fingers together like a sword and slashed fiercely across the void.

Behind him, the phantom of a Nine-Leaf Sword Grass swayed with grace.

Though it appeared delicate, it radiated an unmatched sharpness that could sever past, present, and future.

Shiiing!

A vast, boundless Sword Qi swept outward.

This Sword Qi was so dazzling it seemed capable of cutting down even the stars in the sky.

It ignored the distance of space and struck directly at Ao Lie's vital spot.

Clang—thud!

Sparks flew in all directions.

Ao Lie's indestructible crimson dragon scales, comparable to a top-grade Houtian Spirit Treasure, were actually torn open by this Sword Qi!

Blood gushed out, dyeing half the sky red.

Roooar!

Ao Lie roared in pain, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was wounded?

A dignified Primordial Unity Golden Immortal had its defense broken by a human in the Golden Immortal Realm?

"You little beast! You're asking for death!!!"

The searing pain fully ignited Ao Lie's ferocity.

His massive dragon tail, like a crimson heavenly whip wrapped in ten thousand bolts of thunder, slammed heavily into Ye Xuan.

Boom!

Ye Xuan had no time to dodge. His entire body was sent flying like a meteor, crashing heavily into the sea and stirring up towering waves.

But the next second, he burst out of the water.

At this moment, his chest was caved in, white bones exposed, blood staining his white robes, and his aura was at its lowest ebb.

A furious strike from a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal—even a Great Emperor's physique couldn't fully withstand it.

"Now let's see if you still live!" Ao Lie's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

Yet.

Ye Xuan stood on the sea surface, his expression still terrifyingly calm.

He formed hand seals, and fragments of time danced at his fingertips.

"Sky-Mending Technique."

Hum!

A mysterious wave of time enveloped his entire body.

Under Ao Lie's horrified gaze, the horrific wounds on Ye Xuan began to reverse at a visible speed.

The collapsed sternum restored itself, the torn flesh healed anew, and the withered aura instantly returned to its peak!

In just a single breath.

Ye Xuan stood there completely unharmed, save for the bloodstains on his clothes, as if he had never been injured.

"Th-this... what kind of divine ability is this?!"

Ao Lie's dragon eyes bulged, feeling his understanding of the world being ground into the dirt.

Instant full health recovery?

How ridiculously unfair was that!

"This human brat... just what kind of freak is he?"

For the first time, a chill rose in Ao Lie's heart.

Crossing an entire major realm to defy a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, cutting his dragon body, and possessing a divine ability akin to an immortal body—

If this child was not eliminated, he would surely become a great calamity for the Dragon Race!

"No more delays!"

The killing intent in Ao Lie's eyes solidified into substance.

He opened his massive maw, and a bead as red as blood, with an endless sea of fire burning within it, slowly floated out.

A low-grade Innate Spirit Treasure—the Flame God Pearl!

The moment this pearl appeared, the seawater for ten thousand li instantly boiled, turning into endless steam.

The terrifying heat even warped and twisted the void itself.

"To force this king to use a spirit treasure, you can be proud of yourself."

By now, Ao Lie no longer regarded Ye Xuan as an ant, but as a great enemy that must be annihilated with full force.

"Go!"

The Flame God Pearl transformed into a scorching sun, carrying the might to burn heaven and boil sea, pressing down toward Ye Xuan.

Space was completely sealed.

No escape!

Ye Xuan looked up, feeling that suffocating heat, his brows tightly furrowed.

The power of a primordial spirit treasure was not something a physical body could withstand head-on.

"Looks like I can only run."

Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.

Though somewhat unwilling, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.

His Divine Sense had already connected with the Double Piercing Gate deep within his Consciousness Sea, ready to activate the teleport at any moment and return to the Perfect World for refuge.

Just at this critical moment.

At the edge of the sky.

Three auspicious clouds drifted leisurely by.

Standing atop the clouds were three peerlessly beautiful female immortals, each with a distinct and graceful aura.

They were none other than the Three Xiāo Fairies, disciples of Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Sect of Interception.

"Eh?"

Qiong Xiāo, clad in an emerald green dress and the most lively of the three, suddenly stopped and pointed down at the sea below in surprise.

"Sisters, look! What's that?"

Yun Xiāo and Qiong Xiāo followed the direction of her finger.

There, on the boiling sea surface, a youth in bloodstained white robes stood proudly.

And behind his head.

A massive, radiant, and supremely sacred golden wheel slowly turned.

Its golden light was so intense that it even overshadowed the glow of that primordial spirit treasure, the Flame God Pearl.

The Golden Wheel of Merit!

And it had nearly condensed into solid form—a wheel bearing an unfathomable amount of Heavenly Dao merit!
