Come at Me! Come at Me!

One finger!

As that finger descended, the space where he and Ye Tianming stood trembled violently, then began to crack inch by inch. The entire sky resembled a gigantic spiderweb, a terrifying sight.

Below, even the air in the space around Ye Tianming was crushed at that moment. The pressure of that powerful presence bore down on him, leaving him unable to breathe.

This was a Time Immortal!

Ye Tianming took a deep breath and stopped concealing himself. A seal quietly formed between his brows.

The Transcendent Divine Seal!

The instant the Transcendent Divine Seal appeared, his mental power and divine soul surged more than tenfold. He beckoned with both hands, and in an instant, the earth below burst apart. Wave after wave of terrifying earth-vein power shot into the sky and gathered within the Dharma Aspect behind him. The Earth Dharma Aspect instantly swelled to over two thousand zhang tall.

Ye Tianming stomped his right foot, and the entire Dharma Aspect soared into the sky, carrying boundless earth-vein power as it slammed toward Xiao Bei's Dharma Aspect.

As the Dharma Aspect soared upward to strike, earth-vein power surged from deep beneath the earth like a river bursting through a dam, flowing without end and following the Dharma Aspect into the collision!

At that moment, he gave it everything he had!

At this point, he could not afford to think about so much. All he could do was fight with his life on the line.

Boom!

Ye Tianming's Dharma Aspect slammed into the giant finger. In an instant, like floodwaters raging forth, two shockwaves of power erupted. Wave after wave of powerful shockwaves spread in every direction, razing everything within several hundred zhang to the ground!

Explosions rang out without cease. Ye Tianming and Xiao Bei were both forced back again and again by each other's terrifying power, while the two Dharma Aspects began to sway...

Ye Tianming retreated dozens of zhang before he finally stopped. The moment he did, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Terrifying cracks covered his entire body. Worse still, he felt a wave of weakness rise from within him and spread through his limbs and bones.

Across from him, Xiao Bei also had blood at the corner of his mouth, but he was in far better condition.

Inside the academy, although Xiao Bei had gained the upper hand, Xiao Qun's expression was exceedingly grim, because Xiao Bei was a full six realms above Ye Tianming!

Six realms!

The reason he had sent Xiao Bei of the Xiao Family's younger generation to kill Ye Tianming this time was actually simple: he did not want people saying that the Xiao Family was using its elders to bully the young. After all, Xiao Bei and Ye Tianming were about the same age. The second reason was that Ye Tianming had made it through the Guanxuan Dao. If Xiao Bei killed Ye Tianming, his reputation would rise considerably.

After all, only two people had made it through the Guanxuan Dao in the past thousand years.

Yet he had not expected Ye Tianming to withstand Xiao Bei's power head-on. One had to remember that there were six realms between them!

Six realms!

Looked at another way, if Ye Tianming and Xiao Bei were in the same realm...

At that moment, he found it inconceivable, because someone from a low-ranking lineage could never reach such a level.

Something was wrong!

The problem lay with the person behind him!

Xiao Qun suddenly sneered. "Good, good, good. I was wondering why someone from a low-ranking lineage dared provoke my Xiao Family again and again. It seems the person behind him is no simple figure!"

Song Shi glanced at him. "He provoked your Xiao Family again and again? Wasn't it your Xiao Family that targeted him again and again? I've seen shameless people, but never anyone as shameless as you."

"Song Shi!"

Xiao Qun stared fixedly at Song Shi. "Do you think that because you're the academy head, my Xiao Family can't do anything to you?"

Song Shi smiled. "Come at me! Come at me!"

Xiao Qun stared at Song Shi without speaking.

Song Shi smiled. "Don't hold back just because I'm the academy head. Your Xiao Family is a second-rank great family. How fucking impressive is that? Are you still afraid of this? Come on, kill me."

Faced with Song Shi's provocation, Xiao Qun did not get angry. Instead, he smiled. "Song Shi, you're not worth my Xiao Family's trouble."

If the Xiao Family wanted to kill Song Shi, it would not be difficult. But Song Shi did hold an official position, after all. Killing him would bring a great deal of trouble. It was not worth it.

Xiao Qun turned to look down the mountain, killing intent in his eyes. "That bastard is indeed a surprise, but he'll definitely die today."

At the foot of the academy's mountain, Ye Tianming clenched his fists tightly. Behind him, endless earth-vein power surged.

Although he was exhausted, he knew he had to hold on now. Otherwise, he would surely die.

Across from him, Xiao Bei's calm eyes had grown grave. He truly had not expected Ye Tianming to withstand that blow head-on. After all, he was six realms above him.

If they were in the same realm...

Xiao Bei stared fixedly at Ye Tianming. Only now did he realize that the Xiao Family had seriously underestimated Ye Tianming, who came from a low-ranking lineage.

This man had to die!

The gravity in Xiao Bei's eyes gradually turned to killing intent. He knew full well that once Ye Tianming entered the main academy and received its resources and training, he would be absolutely terrifying in the future. Given time, the Xiao Family might gain a mortal enemy.

With that thought, he slowly opened both hands.

Boom!

The space-time around him shuddered. Countless streams of the power of time seeped out of space. At the same time, the Time Dharma Aspect behind him, which had grown somewhat illusory, began to solidify again. Not only that, it was also growing rapidly.

Ye Tianming took a deep breath, a flash of resolve in his eyes. He knew that in his current state, he had only one chance to strike.

All or nothing!

Ye Tianming roared, "Rise!"

His voice rang through heaven and earth like thunder.

Boom!

The earth rapidly collapsed, and countless streams of earth-vein power shot skyward from its depths. Like rivers, they poured into the Earth Dharma Aspect behind him. The Earth Dharma Aspect, which had grown somewhat illusory, rapidly solidified, and its presence grew stronger and stronger.

Ye Tianming suddenly stretched out his right hand and roared again, "Condense!"

Countless streams of earth-vein power suddenly gathered toward the Earth Dharma Aspect's arm. Soon, a giant sword a hundred zhang long formed in the giant's hand.

A Dharma Aspect wielding a giant sword!

But it was not over yet. Ye Tianming roared again, "Condense!"

Boom!

A giant scabbard quietly formed in the Dharma Aspect giant's left hand.

Ye Tianming's face was as pale as paper. He said nothing, merely directing his Dharma Aspect to put the sword into the scabbard. At that moment, he already felt close to collapse, but he held on.

Ye Tianming suddenly roared, "Slash!"

Slash!

As his voice fell, his Dharma Aspect suddenly drew the sword and slashed...

The Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique!

The Dharma Aspect's Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique!

Hum!

The sword's cry instantly rang across the entire sky.
