Chapter 497: The Might of Heaven and Earth, A Visitor Seeking Revenge

"It's actually him!"

Yin Jue was surprised yet not entirely caught off guard, as he had already suspected as much.

"As expected, only he would be capable of cultivating such an exceptional genius. I wonder what he's planning? Should I retreat and report this to Lord Tian Sha, or should I take a risk and make a move now?"

Yin Jue found himself in a dilemma.

He turned to look at Xu Yan, who was standing on the true dragon's head. At this moment, the Tian He Realm warrior who had made his move had already turned into flying ashes and disappeared.

"Or should I kill his disciple instead?"

Yin Jue fell into deep thought.

He was confident that he had a 100% chance of success if he chose to kill Xu Yan.

His gaze shifted towards the Qing Hua Realm, and Yin Jue made his decision.

"I'll go take a look at what he's planning in the Qing Hua Realm. Once I find out more, I'll have a better chance of success if the Realm Lord takes action."

With that in mind, Yin Jue concealed his presence and slowly increased the distance between them to avoid being discovered.

Since the person was here, he would enter the Qing Hua Realm from another location.

As for Xu Yan, there was no need to kill him right away. There would be plenty of opportunities to do so after learning more about the Qing Hua Realm.

With the help of the Mist Beast's true spirit, Yin Jue quietly and slowly made his departure, searching for a suitable location to enter the Qing Hua Realm.

Xu Yan looked coldly at the Shame-Redeeming Alliance. "Attack together, or you will have no chance at all!"

At this moment, the powerful experts of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance were all shocked. They wondered how Xu Yan could be so strong, as he was already a Tian He Realm warrior. Moreover, he had used a secret technique, a life-risking secret technique that unleashed immense power. Yet, he had still been defeated by Xu Yan?

"Attack! All of us together!"

At this point, there was no turning back.

The leader of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance said in a deep voice.

Boom!

One after another, Tian He Realm warriors stepped forward, their auras surging and connecting with each other. At this moment, they formed a united front, as if they were the rulers of this piece of heaven and earth.

It seemed like only by shattering this very heaven and earth could they hope to defeat their enemies!

"Xu Yan, you are strong, but we are not afraid even if we join forces!"

The leader of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance said resolutely, looking determined.

"Is that so? Today, I shall let you witness the might of heaven and earth."

Xu Yan smiled faintly.

He raised his hand and grabbed, and with a loud rumble, the heaven and earth shook. A majestic and awe-inspiring might descended, and with it came what seemed like another world.

The might of heaven was vast and overwhelming, with thunderous roars. All things turned into fierce sword lights, and in an instant, the sword lights of heaven enveloped the surroundings, and an aura of annihilation covered the four directions.

"We from the Myriad Treasures Alliance did not come here for you, Young Master Xu. Please don't get the wrong idea!"

Suddenly, several Tian He Realm warriors wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and took a step back.

"Oh? You're not here for me? Could it be that you came to watch the show instead?"

Xu Yan's gaze was indifferent.

"We are here to deliver treasures to the Heavenly God, Young Master Meng!"

Hong Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and a thought flashed through his mind, making him speak up.

"Yes, yes! We're here to deliver treasures to Young Master Meng!"

The other strong members of the Myriad Treasures Alliance quickly nodded in agreement.

They hurriedly distanced themselves from the other warriors, their bodies moving backwards at great speed. At this moment, they had no thoughts of revenge left in their minds, and even the Tai He Realm warriors seemed like little grasshoppers—it would be sheer suicide to fight.

"You cowards from the Myriad Treasures Alliance!"

The leader of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance and the others glared at them angrily.

"What cowardice? Our Myriad Treasures Alliance has always admired Young Master Xu for subduing dragons and saving the Divine Realm from peril. Your despicable actions are truly shameful!

We came here together because we wanted to help Young Master Xu in his time of need. Do you really think we from the Myriad Treasures Alliance would stoop to your level?

Young Master Xu's might shakes the heavens, and he naturally doesn't need our assistance. Now is the time to draw a clear line between us and to let you know the truth!"

Hong Yi said righteously.

The leader of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance and the others nearly spat out blood. Those bastards from the Myriad Treasures Alliance were like opportunists, siding with whoever was stronger!

Su Lingxiu and the others were stunned.

Were the warriors from the Myriad Treasures Alliance so good at reading the situation?

Meng Chong rubbed his head, took a step forward, and grinned viciously. "But I heard that you from the Myriad Treasures Alliance want to suppress gods and avenge past humiliations!"

"That's absolutely not true! This rumor didn't come from our Myriad Treasures Alliance. It's the despicable ones from the Shame-Redeeming Alliance who are pretending to be us and trying to frame us. Young Master Meng, please discern the truth!"

Hong Yi and the other Myriad Treasures Alliance warriors saw that with each step Meng Chong took, his body seemed to grow taller by a zhang. In just an instant, he had transformed into a giant, resembling a heavenly god, his might shocking.

At this moment, Meng Chong was far stronger than he had been back in the Tai Kun Realm.

Hong Yi and the others felt their livers tremble with fear. On one hand, they accused the Shame-Redeeming Alliance of being despicable and framing them by pretending to be members of the Myriad Treasures Alliance. They wanted to use Meng Chong's hand to wipe out the Myriad Treasures Alliance, and they truly were hateful for that.

On the other hand, they frantically flattered Meng Chong, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat like raindrops, and they quickly took out their treasures to offer.

"This is an ancient artifact that my Wanbao Alliance accidentally obtained in the Divine Realm. This artifact seems to hold a mysterious secret, but due to our low cultivation and shallow understanding, we were unable to fathom its true nature. Thus, we specifically came to present it to Young Master Meng!"

"Yes, yes, we are all here to offer our treasures."

The other Wanbao Alliance warriors nodded vigorously and hurriedly took out their own treasured possessions.

As expected of the top experts from the Wanbao Alliance, the treasures they possessed were extraordinary. Among them were several ancient artifacts, and although it was unknown exactly how mystical they were, they undoubtedly held some special qualities.

"Since you are here to offer your treasures, I shall accept them!"

Meng Chong nodded, finding the members of the Wanbao Alliance rather quick-witted.

"Thank you, Young Master Meng!"

Hong Yi and the others expressed their gratitude, their eyes brimming with excitement.

On the other side, the leader of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance and his companions wore resolute expressions, their eyes reflecting their determination to fight to the death. Having come this far, they could not back down like the Wanbao Alliance.

The slogans of slaying the Sword God and capturing the true dragon had already spread throughout the Divine Realm, and the Wanbao Alliance's slogan had only been an afterthought, shouted a mere two times.

Moreover, the Wanbao Alliance could easily shift all the blame onto them, but they could not do the same.

Xu Yan was a formidable and ruthless man. Since he had given them two choices, and they had not cherished that opportunity, their only option now was to fight to the death, hoping that they might have a slim chance of victory.

"Kill!"

The members of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance roared, launching their attacks together. Their powerful strikes shook the heavens and earth, sending ripples of force in all directions. A deep, rumbling vibration filled the air.

In the space between heaven and earth, a gigantic, ferocious mouth appeared, devouring everything in its path, as if it intended to swallow up heaven, earth, and Xu Yan all at once.

"Should we retreat?"

Ao Yuxue's heart raced.

This attack was too strong; she could not withstand it and could only try to avoid its edge.

After all, she had not yet reached adulthood and was still a young dragon, her strength only at the Tian He Realm.

"A mere trifle."

Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged as he lifted his hand and pointed forward. In that instant, the might of heaven transformed into a sword, silent yet seemingly born from the very creation of heaven and earth itself.

With a gentle slash, the ferocious mouth was cleaved apart, and with a gentle breeze, the members of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance were swept away.

"This is the Tian He Realm! This sword could slay a Godly Sovereign!"

Old Man Xiao was deeply shaken, inwardly exclaiming in awe.

Xu Yan's sword seemed ordinary, like a gentle breeze, but its true mystery was such that even a Godly Sovereign cultivator would struggle to withstand it!

The outcome of the battle was, of course, entirely as Xu Yan had predicted. Those Tian He Realm cultivators were nothing more than jumping clowns.

Old Man Xiao turned and left.

Everyone remained silent, even Ao Yuxue, who stared wide-eyed at the group of Tian He Realm cultivators.

The heavens and earth had returned to calm, the mighty aura vanished, and the surging momentum had dissipated.

In this moment, everyone watched in silence.

Even the Immortal Revereds who had followed, hoping to watch the spectacle or take advantage of any opportunity to join the fight, stood quietly, their eyes filled with confusion.

The powerful Tian He Realm cultivators had suddenly fallen silent.

"Let's go," Xu Yan said.

"Ah, oh, okay!"

Ao Yuxue paused, then turned her dragon body and prepared to return to the Qing Hua Realm, eager to have Xu Yan dismount from her head.

However, as she turned, it was as if she had triggered something, or perhaps stirred a gentle breeze. The silent members of the Shame-Redeeming Alliance suddenly turned into flying ashes and disappeared!

Gudong!

Hong Yi and the other Wanbao Alliance experts broke out in cold sweats, their hearts trembling. At the same time, they felt relieved by their quick wits.

The numerous Immortal Revereds who had followed were now soaked in cold sweat, their clothes damp, their lips quivering, and their hearts trembling.

"It's better to provoke a true dragon than to offend a Sword God!"

Someone muttered to himself.

Xu Yan rode the true dragon back to the Qing Hua Realm, and Su Lingxiu and the others also prepared to leave. As for the Immortal Revereds, they had been scared out of their wits and dared not enter the Qing Hua Realm without permission.

However, just at this moment, a figure stepped out from the crowd.

"Jiang Bulin, come out and accept your death!"

The voice was cold and sharp, filled with hatred that reached the heavens.

Those who had been about to return to the Qing Hua Realm paused and turned to look.

A young man with a fierce gaze and murderous intent walked out from the crowd, untying a long saber from his back as he approached.

The leather-wrapped saber began to emanate a sinister aura—an aura filled with evil, brutality, and bloodlust.

However, Xu Yan's displayed strength far exceeded his expectations.

And it seemed that Jiang Bulin and Xu Yan were fellow disciples. If Jiang Bulin was defeated, Xu Yan wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. If he intervened, the substitute seed would undoubtedly perish.

In that case, the residual soul fragment that he was would also be in danger of annihilation.

Although he was exceptionally cautious and had left behind a fragment of his soul, that fragment was minuscule and extremely weak. To restore himself to his former strength seemed like a far-fetched dream.

He could only barely cling to his existence, which was why Blood Extreme was so agitated.

"As long as I can kill Jiang Bulin, that's all that matters. With my current strength, I can definitely kill him!" The youth's voice was almost manic, unable to suppress the hatred in his heart, as if he was losing his rationality.

"Even if you really kill Jiang Bulin, you won't be able to escape death. Xu Yan will kill you!" Blood Extreme cursed inwardly. Why were all the people he found such idiots?

"As long as I can avenge Cloud, death means nothing. I'm not afraid to die!" The youth's eyes were filled with madness and uncontrollable hatred.

"Damn it!" Blood Extreme cursed inwardly. Cloud was already dead, and while she was alive, she hadn't even spared him a glance, only treating him as a servant. And now, this idiot wanted to risk his life for her? What were they thinking?

The youth's eyes burned with hatred, and his eyes turned scarlet. "It's all Jiang Bulin's fault. Cloud used to call on me for everything, but after she became his fiancee, she started giving me the cold shoulder.

"It's all because of Jiang Bulin. If not for him, Cloud would have been with me already!"

Blood Extreme thought that this guy was beyond saving. He had started deluding himself, and Blood Extreme cursed his own foolishness for choosing such a person.

He had originally thought that this was someone filled with hatred, and he could use that hatred to stimulate the youth's madness and ruthlessness, cultivating him into a more suitable substitute seed.

However, the youth's entire consciousness was now consumed by irrational hatred, and he was willing to throw his life away for so-called revenge.

"This won't do. I need to find a way to get through this calamity!" Blood Extreme's eyes narrowed as he thought. In his current state, it would be challenging to forcibly control this physical body, and he would encounter strong resistance. Moreover, the substitute seed hadn't been fully cultivated yet, so if he were to completely take over this body, it would be extremely difficult for this fragment of his soul to recover its strength.

"If only I had more time to fully cultivate the seed. Why did it have to be like this?" Blood Extreme felt helpless.

If the substitute seed were fully cultivated, he wouldn't need to let it risk its life. He could just occupy the body and refine its spirit, but the timing wasn't right yet.

"Since you insist on taking revenge now, I'll lend you a hand. Remember to follow my instructions at the critical moment. Only then will you be able to avenge your grudge and survive!" Blood Extreme said solemnly.

"As long as I can take revenge, death is nothing. This life is insignificant. I will do everything in my power!" The youth had a determined look on his face.

Blood Extreme nearly cursed out loud but stopped himself. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Don't you want to live and pursue the slightest chance of resurrecting Cloud?"

The youth paused, and amidst his mania, a look of longing appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, I want to resurrect Cloud. I will definitely listen to you, Senior. As long as Jiang Bulin dies, I will do whatever you say, no matter how slim the hope is. I will do everything in my power to resurrect Cloud!"

Blood Extreme heaved a sigh of relief and said comfortingly, "Good, good. It's not in vain that I'm guiding you. As long as you hold on to this belief, not only will you get your revenge, but you will definitely be able to resurrect Cloud!"

"Activate the Blood Hell Knife. Fully activate it, stir the heavens and earth, and use the power of the Blood Hell Demon Abyss. Challenge Jiang Bulin to a duel, a one-on-one battle between geniuses. Stay away from Xu Yan, or you won't be able to kill Jiang Bulin.

"Use the excuse of a battle between geniuses, a one-on-one duel. Jiang Bulin will accept the challenge. Don't reveal your full strength, or he will sense that you're too strong and might refuse the duel, leaving you with no opportunity."

Blood Extreme began to instruct the youth.

At the same time, he was also planning his escape. Whether they succeeded in killing Jiang Bulin or not, this substitute seed was destined to die.

He would either perish at the hands of Jiang Bulin or Xu Yan.

Therefore, Blood Extreme started plotting his escape strategy and how he would select the next substitute seed to restore his strength and rise again.
