Ye Xuan faced the Liu Family's Great Saint, who surprisingly could not harm Ye Xuan. The Great Saint unleashed his Dharma Form, only for Ye Xuan to shatter it with his Void Divine Spear. The Great Saint then manifested a Red Sun River to block the spear, but Ye Xuan's Void Power pierced through it. Ye Xuan then appeared before the Great Saint and impaled him with the spear, drawing on mysterious forces to halt the Great Saint's retaliatory strike. The Great Saint then used a Far Escape Talisman to flee, vowing revenge as he collapsed the void around Ye Xuan.

Extinguish!

A single word fell.

In an instant, the scene of the million-li of Void collapse where Ye Xuan had been was completely erased.

As if it had never appeared at all.

This is the method of a Great Saint!

He can directly wipe out all traces that someone once existed!

Even that entire stretch of space is erased along with him!

The living beings of the world are endless.

Those who can reach the Great Sage Realm are less than one in a hundred million.

And from Great Sage Realm to Great Saint Realm, another ninety percent are blocked.

Only less than one-tenth of those in the Great Sage Realm can step into the Great Saint Realm.

The Great Saint Realm is pretty much the peak of all cultivators.

With such an existence, he can casually create a world, found a sect, and have his name spread for ten thousand generations!

This is also why those in the Great Saint Realm are called era-giants.

Era-giants, within a vast era, are giant-level beings, undying through ten thousand calamities!

"Your attainment in the Void Dao is indeed astonishing, but you are, in the end, only in the Great Sage Realm. The power you can bring forth is not even one ten-thousandth of mine. For me to erase you is as easy as lifting a finger."

After calming down, the Liu Family Great Saint returned to his usual demeanor and spoke slowly, each word unhurried.

The only pity was that, just now, in order to end the battle quickly, he’d used a Far Escape Talisman once—that was what he regretted the most.

"Where does your confidence come from?"

Just as the Liu Family Great Saint was heartbroken over it, Ye Xuan’s voice slowly rang out.

It sounded as though it came from the depths of the cosmos, carrying a soul-seizing aura.

The Liu Family Great Saint’s expression froze, then turned to sheer terror. "Impossible!"

"I completely erased the traces of that space-time. Even if your power were stronger, you couldn’t resist this kind of force, unless you were in the Great Saint Realm."

"Then think carefully again—are there no other powers that can withstand it?"

Ye Xuan’s voice rang out, with a teasing flavor to it.

This made the Liu Family Great Saint’s face grow even uglier. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don’t tell me... your Immortal Body has already reached Great Success?"

The fact that Ye Xuan possessed an Immortal Body was no secret anymore in the Xuanhuang Great World.

After all, everyone knew about Ye Xuan seizing the Immortal Treasure.

Back in that battle that took place on the Ancient Battlefield of the Emperor Immortal Sect, it was precisely because the experts of the various sects wanted to fight for the Immortal Treasure that they ultimately suffered a complete defeat. At that time, people were already guessing that Ye Xuan had cultivated an Immortal Body.

It was just that, in such a short span, who would think Ye Xuan’s Immortal Body could reach any high level?

Gu Changge, as a Taiyang Immortal Body, had been cultivating from birth for over a hundred years. Only when the Heavenly Dao Suppression was lifted did he barely touch upon Immortal Body Great Success.

How long has it been since Ye Xuan got the Immortal Treasure?

All told, not even a full year.

Even giving Ye Xuan a year, merely Awakening the Immortal Body would already be badass.

So the Liu Family Great Saint had never considered that direction at all.

If Ye Xuan’s Immortal Body had truly reached Great Success, never mind a First Layer Great Saint like him—even if a Seventh Layer, Eighth Layer, or Ninth Layer Great Saint came, they might not be his match!

Immortal Body Great Success means he is about to assault the position of Great Emperor!

"That is absolutely impossible!"

The Liu Family Great Saint said in a deep voice, "Since ancient times, among those whose Immortal Body reached Great Success, the lowest Realm they had was still the Great Saint Realm. Otherwise, the power between the two would be out of balance. If your Immortal Body had truly reached Great Success, your Realm could not possibly still be in the Great Sage Realm."

"So..."

"Stop putting on a ghostly act in front of me. Get out here and die!"

The Liu Family Great Saint suddenly lashed out, sweeping a palm across.

Above the vault of heaven, that vast stretch of Star Universe collapsed in an instant.

One star after another plummeted, carving out streaks of dazzling radiance across the sky.

Ye Xuan was standing on one of the falling stars, looking down at the Liu Family Great Saint, speaking leisurely, "A summer insect cannot talk of ice, a well frog cannot speak of the sea."

"Take that principle with you to your next life."

Boom!

That falling star smashed down toward the Liu Family Great Saint.

The Liu Family Great Saint snorted coldly, raised his hand, and punched, directly blasting it to dust; the fierce power then locked onto Ye Xuan.

When the rolling Fiery Flame dissipated, a fist tore out from within and slammed hard into the Liu Family Great Saint’s fist.

Crack———

With a crisp snap, the Liu Family Great Saint’s entire arm was pounded into minced meat, bone fragments scattering through the air.

With a single thought from the Liu Family Great Saint, that arm instantly recovered, and he crossed both arms before him.

Thud!

This time, both arms were gone, and together with them, the Liu Family Great Saint himself was blown apart by Ye Xuan.

But the Liu Family Great Saint still didn’t die; he reconstituted himself in an instant and counterattacked.

Ye Xuan struck like a dragon, continuously blowing the Liu Family Great Saint apart, not giving him any chance to react.

Thus an eerie scene appeared.

Ye Xuan kept throwing punches.

The Liu Family Great Saint kept getting blown up, then recovering, only to be blown up again.

The Liu Family Great Saint’s mana and Divine Soul Power were being consumed at a frantic rate.

He was not far from death.

At this moment, the battle between Zong Jianli and that Great Saint Realm expert from Hua Tian Prefecture had already ended.

Zong Jianli’s skill was superior by a notch; he defeated that Great Saint of Hua Tian Prefecture.

The first thing the Hua Tian Prefecture Great Saint did after withdrawing from the fight was to look for Hua Ming.

But he discovered that Hua Ming’s aura had completely vanished.

His face changed drastically; he knew Hua Ming had most likely been killed by Ye Xuan.

He swept his gaze around, intending to personally kill Ye Xuan, only to find Ye Xuan was already battling the Liu Family Great Saint, so he could only give up on that plan and wait for Ye Xuan’s death.

Time flowed by slowly.

"I concede!" The Liu Family Great Saint was roaring.

Ye Xuan paid him no mind at all, his fists continuing to crash down.

And this time, Ye Xuan channeled a trace of his Taoist Body’s power, beating the Liu Family Great Saint so badly he had absolutely no strength to fight back.

After one stick of incense, the Liu Family Great Saint was on his last breath.

"I concede... I ask Young Master Ye to spare this old man..."

Taking advantage of the brief moment as his fleshly body regenerated, the Liu Family Great Saint pleaded weakly with Ye Xuan for mercy.

"Same rotten character as that old ancestor of yours."

Ye Xuan snorted coldly.

At these words, although fury churned in the Liu Family Great Saint’s heart, he didn’t dare refute. "It was this old man who failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope Young Master Ye can forgive me."

This time, Ye Xuan unusually granted the Liu Family Great Saint a brief chance to catch his breath; he did not strike again, but instead stared at him indifferently and said flatly, "All of you from the Liu Family of the Red Sun River are cowards, including that old ancestor of yours, the Red Sun Great Emperor."

The Liu Family Great Saint could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He locked his gaze on Ye Xuan and said in a deep voice, "You are in the ascendancy today, so of course you can be arrogant. But you have repeatedly insulted my forefather—what is the meaning of this?!"

Ye Xuan let out a derisive laugh. "I’m merely stating facts. Back then, the Emperor Battle initiated by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Emperor was to straighten the spine of the Human Clan. Let me ask you: was your forefather of the Human Clan or not?"

The Liu Family Great Saint snorted coldly. "Nonsense. My forefather also took part in the Emperor Battle back then—he fought for the Human Clan!"

Ye Xuan burst out laughing. "Save your flowery bullshit for the history books. The spine held up by the Human Clan’s Great Emperors was almost snapped by your forefather. If you can’t win, then you can’t win, but he actually bowed his damn head and conceded."

"Tell me, how are you any different from your forefather?"
