The tremors of the Myriad Races Battlefield gradually subsided. The pervasive Netherworld death qi rapidly dissipated under the self-purification of the world's rules, receding like a tide and leaving behind a scene of devastation.
The surviving cultivators were still shaken, gazing at the collapsed altar and the figure standing proudly beneath it in coarse linen clothes, their eyes filled with awe and the daze of having survived a catastrophe.
Xuanyuan Che stood with his hands behind his back. After absorbing that wisp of diluted Emperor Blood clone, the Chaos Sea within him rippled slightly before returning to an even deeper calm. That bit of energy was like a drop in the ocean to him, barely better than nothing. He raised his eyes, his gaze seeming to pierce through the battlefield's barrier and land on that cold, resentful Supreme divine sense.
"A Supreme of the Netherworld Clan..." he muttered to himself, a faint, mocking smile playing on his lips. This routine was truly timeless.
"All listen to my command!" At this moment, from the direction of Xuanhuang Ancient City, the Prefect Jiang Daoxuan's majestic voice echoed through the light screen into the minds of every surviving Prodigy. "The Battlefield is about to close, and the exit will open soon! The Netherworld Clan rebels have been vanquished, but there may be changes outside. The elders of the various academies are already waiting to receive you. After exiting, immediately gather with your respective academies. Do not delay!"
His voice carried an undeniable seriousness. Clearly, the powers outside had also sensed the arrival of that Netherworld Supreme.
Rumble!
High in the sky, a massive gate of light slowly took shape. It was the only passage out of the Battlefield.
"Let's go," Xuanyuan Che called out, transforming into a stream of light and rushing towards the gate first. Yun Mengyao and the other two followed without hesitation.
The other Prodigies also seemed to awaken from a dream, each summoning their escape light and surging towards the exit. At this moment, no one cared about rankings anymore; survival was the top priority.
However, beyond the gate of light was not the expected Xuanhuang Ancient City plaza.
It was a forcibly torn and twisted void!
Void turbulence raged, and at the center of the turbulence, a blurry, colossal figure stood tall. He was clad in dark imperial robes, surrounded by billions of wailing, resentful souls. His mere existence caused this void to continuously collapse and reform. The icy killing intent was palpable, firmly locking onto Xuanyuan Che, who had just rushed out of the gate of light!
The Netherworld Clan Supreme—Netherworld Bone Supreme!
He was no ordinary Supreme; he had walked a very, very long path within the Supreme Realm.
"You little beast! You killed my son's clone and stole my son's Emperor Blood! Today, I will surely extract your soul and refine your spirit, forever imprisoning you in the Netherworld Blood Sea!" Netherworld Bone Supreme's voice was like ten thousand years of ice, imbued with Supreme laws, causing the blood and qi of countless Prodigies who had just rushed out to churn, nearly making them fall into the void.
That Emperor Blood was something he had painstakingly obtained from the main lineage, and only he knew what he had gone through for it. In a way, that Emperor Blood was almost as important as his son.
He attacked directly, a giant palm covered in Netherworld bone armor extending out, ignoring spatial distance and directly grabbing at Xuanyuan Che. The Supreme's strike encompassed all directions, even engulfing Yun Mengyao and the other two behind Xuanyuan Che, as well as a large area of nearby Prodigies. It was clearly intended to kill in one blow, without mercy!
"Netherworld Bone! How dare you!" From another part of the void, the furious roar of Lu Xuanchen, Prefect of Eastern Xuan Academy, echoed. A brilliant Xuanhuang sword qi tore through the void, attempting to intercept. Simultaneously, several other Supreme auras erupted, originating from major powers in the Central Continent, clearly unwilling to see their own Prodigies affected.
However, Netherworld Bone Supreme attacked in his rage with extreme speed. Lu Xuanchen's interception was a beat too slow!
At this critical juncture!
Xuanyuan Che's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Supreme... Is that so impressive?"
He took a step forward. The previously restrained Chaos Qi around him erupted, no longer a faint clear light but a vast, gray torrent like an ocean! Within the torrent, earth, wind, water, and fire were reborn, and Innate Dao Runes flickered in and out of existence!
"Chaos... Sky Opening!"
He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed at the grasping Netherworld giant palm, cleaving the void!
Screech!
A subtle rift of Chaos spread from his fingertips, initially minute before rapidly expanding into a massive chasm stretching across the sky! Within the chasm was surging primal Chaos Qi, just like the state of the world before creation.
The Netherworld giant palm plunged into the Chaos chasm and, as if caught in a quagmire, its speed drastically reduced. The Supreme laws composing the giant palm violently collided with the Chaos Qi, emitting a chilling crackling sound!
It was at this moment that Lu Xuanchen's Xuanhuang sword qi arrived, striking the side of the giant palm fiercely and causing it to deviate slightly.
Boom!!!
If you find this book good, to avoid losing it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
The giant palm grazed the edges of Xuanyuan Che and the others, slamming into a distant asteroid belt and instantly annihilating countless stars into nothingness!
The terrifying shockwave sent countless Prodigies flying, their screams rising one after another.
But Xuanyuan Che and the other three stood steadily in the void, their Chaos Qi swirling around them, completely unharmed!
A deathly silence fell!
Whether it was the Supremes in the void or the Prodigies who had narrowly escaped, all stared dumbfounded at the figure in coarse linen clothes, who seemed like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
He... he just... took a Supreme's attack head-on?!
Was there anything he couldn't do?
Who exactly was he, and where did he come from?
"The Chaos Dao Body... is actually this terrifying?!" an elder from an ancient family murmured in shock. "It's just unknown whether it's innate or acquired. In ancient texts, only the Upper Realm..."
Netherworld Bone Supreme's attack missed, and he was filled with shock and anger. Especially seeing Xuanyuan Che's calm, unruffled eyes, which seemed to mock his incompetence, further fueled his rage.
"Junior! Let's see how many more blows you can block!" The Netherworld death qi around him boiled as he prepared to attack again.
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Daoxuan's icy voice rang out. An invisible Supreme domain spread out, forcibly stabilizing the void and blocking most of Netherworld Bone Supreme's killing intent. "Are you, Netherworld Clan, intending to wage a full-scale war with my Three Thousand Dao Domains by attacking a junior?"
At the same time, Supremes from True Martial Academy, Ice Snow Holy Palace, Vajra Academy, and other forces also unleashed powerful auras, subtly surrounding Netherworld Bone Supreme. They could stand by and watch Netherworld Bone target Xuanyuan Che, but if it affected too wide an area and endangered their core successors, they would never agree.
Netherworld Bone Supreme's expression was as dark as water. He stared intently at Xuanyuan Che, who was subtly protected by the aura of several Supremes, knowing that it would be difficult to succeed today. However, his killing intent did not diminish; instead, it grew more intense.
"This child possesses the Chaos Body, an anomaly of heaven and earth. If he is not eliminated today, he will surely become a great threat to the Three Thousand Dao Domains in the future. Do you truly intend to protect him?" Netherworld Bone Supreme's eyes were sinister.
"Hmph, whether he is a threat or not is not for your Netherworld Clan to decide," Jiang Daoxuan said coldly. "The Battlefield has closed. You should leave quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for activating the Xuanhuang Great Array and keeping you here!"
Netherworld Bone Supreme's gaze flickered. Finally, he let out a cold snort. "Fine! Very good! Xuanyuan Che... I remember you! The pursuit of the Netherworld Clan will be relentless, until death!"
After uttering his threat, he tore through the void, taking the remaining Netherworld Clan cultivators with him, and vanished instantly. For a Supreme-level existence, if they were determined to leave, it was very difficult to keep them.
Moreover, this person was already in the late stage of Supreme...
The tense atmosphere in the void eased slightly.
All the surviving Prodigies let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.
Countless gazes once again focused on Xuanyuan Che, filled with complex emotions.
After this Battlefield competition, which was forcibly ended early, Xuanyuan Che's name would truly shake the Three Thousand Dao Domains!
Xuanyuan Che ignored the surrounding gazes and looked towards Lu Xuanchen's direction, nodding slightly in greeting, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, let's go."
The four of them turned into streaks of light and flew towards the distant Eastern Xuan Academy's ship.
At another end of the void, Zhou Qiankun clenched his fist, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "Chaos Body... Xuanyuan Che. The next time we meet, I will definitely fight you!"
Xue Qingxian's gaze was clear and cold. She took a deep look at Xuanyuan Che's retreating back before turning to leave, snowflakes dancing around her.
Shakya clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name, "Amitabha, may all calamities be ended, well done, well done." Deep within his eyes, a look of gravity flashed.
The ancient sword in Xiao Wuji's embrace let out a soft hum. His cold face remained as impassive as ever as he turned and disappeared into the void.
