When Ye Xingchen couldn’t accept Xiao Zuiji’s death, the power sealed in the depths of his soul completely released.
Quite suddenly.
And after that sealed power erupted, the ten spirit seeds that once belonged to Night King all flew out from their current inheritors’ bodies, merging into Ye Xingchen’s body.
In a certain sense, this could be considered returning to their original owner.
However.
He took all ten spirit seeds—what about the others?
Especially Jun Changxiao, who possessed two by himself and treated Little Fire and Little Evil like his own sons.
Working hard to cultivate them, only to discover they weren’t his biological children and were even taken away—this was sadder than being cuckolded.
Liu Sinan and the others didn’t care about losing their spirit seeds because they knew that once they merged into Ye Xingchen’s body, his combat power would greatly increase!
Indeed.
Unsealed power, merged spirit seeds.
The power surging through Ye Xingchen’s body had already climbed to an unimaginable level!
So much so that even the red-haired man furrowed his brows, sensing danger—even… a sense of crisis!
“Killing my fellow disciple.”
Ye Xingchen lowered his head, his voice hoarse: “Unforgivable.”
Calm words, without anger or killing intent, yet making one’s hair stand on end.
Sometimes, speaking harsh words doesn’t require hysterical shouting—abnormal tonal control is even more terrifying.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
The Heavenly Demon Emperor army below didn’t care about Ye Xingchen’s eruption. They continued killing toward the Eternal Sect disciples, using their numerical advantage to gradually surround them.
One death was just the beginning!
This sect, this plane must be destroyed!
“Buzz buzz—”
However, as they charged forward with raised sabers, the surrounding space trembled, manifesting flowing light like plastic wrap.
Above, Ye Xingchen still lowered his head, but his hands were already spread, ten fingers sinking into the depths of space. Then slowly pulling, the condensed flowing light below rapidly converged, binding several areas of enemies within.
Liu Sinan was stunned.
This method of reaching hands into space and binding enemies in different areas by pulling—it was quite impressive!
“Die.”
Ye Xingchen’s low voice seemed to contain the mystery of words becoming law. Hearing ‘boom boom boom’ explosions, all enemy soldiers bound within the space perished.
This death—over a hundred thousand!
“Swish!”
Just then, Ye Xingchen turned around, pointing two fingers toward another area. Sand power gathered at his fingertips and rapidly drew in, suddenly exploding mid-journey. The sand transformed into sharp needles, pressing down like a torrential pear blossom rain.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”
“Splurt! Splurt! Splurt!”
The needles formed from sand frantically pierced through the Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers, not only turning them into beehives but directly annihilating several hundred thousand more.
Reduced to ashes in the snap of a finger.
Ye Xingchen’s power was simply terrifying!
At this rate, the Heavenly Demon Emperor army wouldn’t be enough to kill!
Of course.
The red-haired man wouldn’t let him do as he pleased. He immediately gathered flames in both fists, coldly saying: “Your opponent is me.”
At this moment, he had no confidence in defeating this berserk fellow, but to destroy the Eternal Realm, to regain freedom, he must find a way to stall him, buying time for the Heavenly Demon Emperor army!
The idea wasn’t bad.
Currently, the Eternal Sect disciples were at a numerical disadvantage. Though still able to fight valiantly, they would gradually weaken after sustained combat.
“Sorry.”
“Your opponent is me.”
At this time, a voice came from behind.
The red-haired man turned around in shock, seeing a figure walking out from within the Sacred Fire Judgment step by step. He exclaimed in surprise: “How did you get out!”
His divine ability sealed areas with endless flames. Even if trapped warriors could resist the burning, they absolutely couldn’t break out unless forcibly shattering it from inside.
But.
What was the situation now?
The Sacred Fire Judgment still existed, undamaged. Yet the fellow trapped within was casually strolling out like walking in his own back garden.
Not only that!
As the figure walked out step by step, gradually becoming clear and revealing Jun Changxiao’s appearance, the surrounding endless sea of fire seemed drawn by some power, frantically surging into his body.
“This guy is absorbing my Sacred Fire Judgment!”
“Not good!”
The red-haired man realized something was wrong and immediately tried to retract the flames, only to tragically discover the connection was severed.
The fire was his.
But now, it no longer was.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
The blazing flames frantically poured into Jun Changxiao’s body. After merging into his dantian and being frantically refined, his skin gradually turned red, gradually became scorching hot.
“Sect Master!”
Seeing Jun Changxiao emerge, the disciples gained a pillar of support.
But thinking of Xiao Zuiji’s death, the joy that just surfaced was replaced by grief.
Especially Ye Xingchen.
Though currently in an erupted state with clear thinking and consciousness, seeing the Sect Master emerge not only brought inner grief but deep guilt—because of him, Senior Brother Xiao had died.
“Swoosh!”
Shortly after, the Sacred Fire Judgment was completely absorbed.
“…” The red-haired man’s expression was extremely ugly, the sense of crisis growing stronger, his state of mind increasingly panicked.
On the left was Ye Xingchen with the Ten Spirits gathered, transformed into Night King. On the right was the unharmed Jun Changxiao who’d absorbed the sea of fire—panic was understandable.
“Him.”
Jun Changxiao pointed at the red-haired man: “Leave to this seat.”
“Understood.” Ye Xingchen turned and flew downward. The murderer of Xiao Zuiji would be left to the Sect Master; the soldiers threatening the plane and fellow disciples would be left to him!
“Die!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Ye Xingchen seemed to transform into a death god harvesting lives. Just in the process of flying over, using different spirit seeds alternately, wherever he passed, Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers all shattered.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
Zhong Yi raised his blade and roared.
In a moment, War Cavalry Hall members charged forward.
The Eternal Sect’s leadership and disciples also channeled all their power into their weapons, fighting to annihilate enemy soldiers—as if moving slowly meant no one left to kill.
Indeed.
Being slow really meant no one to kill.
Because the berserk Ye Xingchen, with just casual gestures, caused vast swathes of Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers to die.
Most terrifying was that to quickly resolve the battle, he turned his body around, fully erupting Space power, Evil power, Fire Soul power and other forces.
“Buzz!”
The vast area behind him seemed to have a pause button pressed, instantly entering a frozen state.
“Snap!”
Ye Xingchen casually snapped his fingers.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM—” Instantly, the million soldiers existing within the sealed area shattered into nothingness on the spot. Blood and remains gathered together, forming a terrifying slaughterhouse.
“…”
Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo and the others’ scalps went numb with shock.
This scene of casually gesturing and causing a million lives to instantly perish—simply too terrifying!
Killing like flies.
Killing with red eyes.
Could no longer describe Ye Xingchen.
At that moment, he was a demon, he was death incarnate.
For Xiao Zuiji, even destroying the entire upper universe didn’t matter.
Though not deliberately pairing them up, the bond between Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zuiji was genuine and undeniable.
…
One finger snap, a million comrades dead.
This terrifying killing power directly shocked the Heavenly Demon Emperor army!
At this moment, they hesitated, they feared. From charging state they retreated step by step, only horror remaining in their eyes.
“Retreat!”
The commanding general gave the order.
This existence that annihilated lives like taking objects from a pocket also deeply shocked him. Especially with the red-haired man held back by Jun Changxiao, unable to divide attention to deal with him, all they could do was quickly withdraw to avoid more soldier casualties.
“Retreat?”
Ye Xingchen sneered.
“Swish!” He spread both hands. Space power erupted, rapidly spreading to extreme distances, then transforming into substantial flowing light barriers, trapping the fleeing Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers and the starship fleet parked in the distance.
“You all.”
Ye Xingchen finally raised his head, his twisted face like death descending: “Go accompany Senior Brother in death.”
“No…”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Under desperate cries, the Heavenly Demon Emperor soldiers trapped in the bound space were all dismembered, blood splattering, staining the contracting space barrier red!
“ROAR!”
“ROAR!”
The starship fleet also couldn’t escape destruction. Under the gradual contraction, they continuously collided, producing chain explosions. The commanding general inside the main warship could only face the consuming flames with terror.
…
This day.
This battle.
The Heavenly Demon Emperor’s tens of thousands of warships and millions of soldiers all perished.
The killer—Ye Xingchen!
