Ye Xuan was interrupted while crafting a Soul Seal by the awakened Mortal Emperor's corpse, controlled by a mummy old man. The mummy old man, realizing direct confrontation was futile, observed Ye Xuan's powerful aura and manifestations. Ye Xuan, anticipating the attack, quickly revealed the mummy old man's soul and defeated him, saving the Mortal Emperor's corpse.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the withered old man was not afraid but instead laughed and said, "Have you figured out your current predicament?"

"Yes, I am indeed now being held by you, but you should also consider that your entire world is being held by my Dou Tian Divine Domain."

"So do you think I have the right to tell you these things?"

At this point, a confident expression appeared on the soul’s face of the withered old man.

Ye Xuan restrained his smile, shook his head and said, "Ignorant people are incurable; do you think saying these can change your current situation?"

Upon hearing this, the withered old man coldly said, "Are you still unclear what this represents?"

"If that’s the case, then let me clearly tell you, if you submit to me now, not only can I make you survive, but I can also let your family and friends survive."

The withered old man stared at Ye Xuan with his single eye, waiting for Ye Xuan’s reply.

Ye Xuan chuckled, "What do you mean by this? A deal?"

The withered old man nodded and said, "You can consider it a transaction, but you surely won’t since even if you kill me, your apprentice won’t come back to life, and you will gain nothing substantial."

"I can see that you are an extraordinary being who knows how to avoid misfortunes."

"This transaction has no disadvantages for you."

The withered old man stared intently at Ye Xuan, persuading him earnestly.

Ye Xuan gazed calmly at the withered old man, and said indifferently, "Sounds reasonable, but I just won’t listen to you."

The withered old man’s expression turned ugly; this guy was really impervious!

"Then name your conditions!"

The withered old man growled.

He already knew he had no chance to turn the situation around, as this guy was too strong, absolutely incomparable to him right now.

The only way was to promise this guy something, whether he could fulfill it was another issue.

Saving his own life was the most urgent matter.

Other things didn’t matter!

"Conditions?"

Ye Xuan looked at the withered old man, smiled lightly, "To me, you are nothing."

"To the Dou Tian Divine Domain, you are just a failed stray dog, what say do you have?"

"Even if I gave ten thousand conditions today, it would be remarkable for you to fulfill even one."

"Moreover..."

"You can’t do it."

Towards the end, Ye Xuan’s gaze became extremely cold.

The withered old man’s expression became grim, "Since that’s the case, then let’s perish together!"

While speaking.

The entire soul of the withered old man suddenly expanded, he seemed to be going to self-destruct.

A terrifying power, drawing the Origin Power nearby.

The whole Divine Palace shook incessantly at this moment.

A doomsday feeling suddenly swept through.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment too, world-ending anomalies appeared.

But Ye Xuan didn’t retreat a single step, just coldly watched the occurrence, seemingly completely indifferent.

Simultaneously, the withered old man was also watching Ye Xuan’s actions.

Seeing Ye Xuan unafraid, he was resentful inside but couldn’t really choose to self-destruct.

Beings of their level value their lives very much.

Only when completely forced with no other means will they choose to self-destruct, taking enemies down.

But now, he still had other means.

The next moment.

The terrifying anomalies all disappeared.

And the soul of the withered old man also vanished.

He needed to return to his body, using escape means to first leave this place, whether it would be successful or not.

Escape first then decide.

Given the present situation, there was no time for him to think more.

And when the soul of the withered old man vanished, Ye Xuan grinned.

This step was naturally within his calculation.

He knew that beings like the withered old man wouldn’t really commit suicide.

This guy would certainly choose to return to his body, only by returning to his body could more means be executed.

And Ye Xuan was waiting for this step.

Ye Xuan turned to look at the withered old man lying miserably on the ground, quietly waiting.

Moments later.

The withered old man suddenly opened that single eye, dazzling Mysterious Light erupted, but instead of enveloping Ye Xuan, it wrapped himself.

Boom!

At this instant too, overwhelming black qi suddenly surged out within the Divine Palace, then transformed into a giant hammer, fiercely striking towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan seemed unresponsive, directly knocked flying by the giant hammer.

That scene happened to be seen by the withered old man.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan being knocked away, the withered old man suddenly became dumbfounded and then ecstatic.

"Heaven aids me!"

The withered old man even wanted to laugh heartily.

In the next moment, the withered old man performed Sealing, and his whole person transformed into a dazzling Mysterious Light, flying towards the Origin Power source.

Whoosh!

The withered old man instantly vanished.

"There are other powers within the Divine Palace?"

As if entering a time-space tunnel, the withered old man also pondered what had just happened.

That power was immensely terrifying, actually capable of knocking that Ye Xuan away.

It was precisely because of this that he had the chance to rush in and leave.

His original plan wasn’t to leave from here.

Because the power Ye Xuan controlled could suppress the Origin Power, if he escaped utilizing this place, he might be pulled out by Ye Xuan.

But the current situation was different because the suppression of Ye Xuan allowed him to find an opportunity to directly depart.

Indeed, heaven aids me!

The withered old man was extremely excited.

Finally found a chance to leave.

The withered old man didn’t know that after he "escaped", the Divine Palace had already returned to normal.

All those terrifying black qi vanished.

The formed giant hammer disappeared too.

The Ye Xuan who had been knocked away also reappeared within the Divine Palace, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was calm, not at all angry for letting the withered old man escape due to the anomaly.

Because...

This anomaly was designed by Ye Xuan himself.

Those black qi were controlled using Immortal Profound Power.

It was a performance for the withered old man.

As for why to let this guy leave.

It was because Ye Xuan’s special Soul Seal was already set, which the withered old man hadn’t sensed.

And Ye Xuan needed the withered old man to act as his pawn, but if he showed a certain flaw, alerting the withered old man, the other might become suspicious.

Although suspicion wouldn’t be useful, it wasn’t truly perfect.

Therefore, Ye Xuan arranged this grand scene.

"It’s time to go to the Nine Heavens Demon Pool..."

Ye Xuan took a look at the Origin Power source and turned to leave.

But before leaving, Ye Xuan left a Myriad Forms Body here.

This Myriad Forms Body was the Silent Annihilation Immortal Body.

And the pitiful withered old man was still smugly pleased with his escape route, entirely unaware he had already become Ye Xuan’s pawn...
