Chapter 558: Xuanli Realm, Ye Qingxiao's Encounter

Just as Ye Qingxuan was in seclusion to cultivate,

in one of the Small Thousand Worlds attached to the Di Xuan Realm, the Xuanli Realm,

at this time, Ye Qingxiao, located in the far west of the Xuanli Realm, stood on the peak of a mountain and looked up at the sky, a look of melancholy appearing on his originally flat face.

If viewed from high altitude, one could clearly see that the land where he was located was now full of smoke and ruin everywhere.

It was not difficult to see what kind of fierce battle this land had experienced before.

And behind and around Ye Qingxiao were cultivators of the Void Meditation Realm and Deity Transformation Realm, numbering as many as ten thousand.

These cultivators either stood in the air, or stood on the peaks of mountains or ancient trees, looking in the same direction in the far west, with solemn and worried expressions on their faces.

It was just because the direction they were looking at was now a scene of surging demonic energy, lightning and thunder, and constantly twisting space.

Since the invasion of the Qingmo Realm, the Di Xuan Realm had opened up cross-boundary channels connecting to major attached Small Thousand Worlds.

In the hundreds of years that followed, cultivators from the Di Xuan Realm would occasionally go down to the lower world to temper themselves or track and hunt down the Qingmo race invading the lower world.

A hundred years ago, after Ye Qingxiao said goodbye to Ye Qingxuan, he came down from the Di Xuan Realm to this Xuanli Realm to temper himself.

For the first thirty years, everything in the Xuanli Realm was normal.

Except for the occasional appearance of demonic traces, nothing major happened that affected the entire world.

Relying on his peak Deity Transformation Realm cultivation base and the profound spells cultivated in the Profound Yi Tianzong, Ye Qingxiao, whose combat strength had reached the peak of the Xuanli Realm, traveled all the way in the Xuanli Realm without encountering any major trouble.

During his travels, when encountering traces of the Qingmo race, Ye Qingxiao would also decisively take action to eliminate the demons.

Thirty-plus years of time allowed Ye Qingxiao to make quite a name for himself.

Relying on the deeds of hunting Qingmo race powerhouses many times, Ye Qingxiao harvested extremely high prestige in the Xuanli Realm.

This kind of life was maintained until the thirty-fifth year of Ye Qingxiao's descent into the Xuanli Realm.

It was in this year, perhaps as the connection, mutual swallowing, and fusion between the Di Xuan Realm and the Qingmo Realm deepened, that a Qingmo Realm attached demonic domain world suddenly collided with the Xuanli Realm, one of the Di Xuan Realm attached Small Thousand Worlds, in a situation where it was caught off guard.

The collision, swallowing, and fusion of the two Small Thousand Worlds did not cause too much disaster.

But the rule fluctuations produced in this process shielded the connection between the boundary disk in Ye Qingxiao's hand and the cross-boundary channel, causing the cross-boundary channel connecting to the Xuanli Realm to be only able to enter and not exit, trapping Ye Qingxiao in this Xuanli Realm for a hundred years.

Under such circumstances, there were only two ways for Ye Qingxiao to return to the Di Xuan Realm.

First, destroy the major spiritual veins of the Xuanli Realm and knock down the Small Thousand World status of the Xuanli Realm.

In this way, the rule fluctuations in the Xuanli Realm would inevitably weaken, and the Xuanli Realm would also be unable to escape the fate of being swallowed by the demonic domain world.

But Ye Qingxiao could seize the opportunity to re-establish the connection between the boundary disk in his hand and the cross-boundary channel connecting the Di Xuan Realm to the Xuanli Realm, and return to the Di Xuan Realm before the Xuanli Realm was swallowed by the demonic domain.

Second, lead the humans of the Xuanli Realm to conquer the demonic domain world bordering the Xuanli Realm and let the Xuanli Realm swallow the other side.

In this way, the rule fluctuations of the Xuanli Realm would naturally return to calm and hide again, and Ye Qingxiao could also successfully return to the Di Xuan Realm.

Obviously, as a human, Ye Qingxiao ultimately chose the second option.

Not to mention that abandoning the humans of a Small Thousand World was something Ye Qingxiao could not accept, and it did not fit Ye Qingxiao's temperament.

As a peak Deity Transformation Realm personal disciple of the Profound Yi Tianzong, a hegemon-level force of the Di Xuan Realm, Ye Qingxiao also did not feel that there was anyone in that demonic domain world of the Qingmo race who could be his opponent.

Moreover, in this Xuanli Realm, it was not just him, this personal disciple of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Among the cultivators who came down from the Di Xuan Realm to temper themselves in the Xuanli Realm, there were as many as several hundred, among whom more than a hundred were disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

And among the hundred-plus Profound Yi Tianzong disciples, including Ye Qingxiao, ten were personal disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong at the Deity Transformation Realm.

After all, the cross-boundary channel connecting to the Xuanli Realm was one of the dozens of cross-boundary channels opened by the Profound Yi Tianzong itself, and the distance from the Profound Yi Tianzong's garrison was not far.

Among the disciples chosen by the Profound Yi Tianzong to go down to the lower world to temper themselves, many chose to come to the Xuanli Realm.

So in Ye Qingxiao's view, leading the human cultivators of the Xuanli Realm to conquer that demonic domain world should not be a difficult task.

This was also a decision made by Ye Qingxiao after discussing it with the other nine Deity Transformation Realm personal disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong.

In the nearly seventy years that followed, Ye Qingxiao had already fought the Qingmo race in that demonic domain world nine times, leading the cultivators of the Xuanli Realm.

Because where the Xuanli Realm bordered that demonic domain world, various violent forces and rule confrontations caused space distortion, which would strangely fall into a calm period every once in a while, each time maintaining for about a month.

Every time during this period, the Qingmo race in that demonic domain world would cross the border area of the two worlds and launch attacks on the Xuanli Realm.

This situation had lasted for a full nine times so far.

Although Ye Qingxiao was somewhat anxious to return to the Di Xuan Realm, he did not act recklessly in the slaughter with the Qingmo race.

Every time he faced the active invasion of the Qingmo race, the cautious Ye Qingxiao did not rashly gather the human powerhouses of the Xuanli Realm and kill them into that demonic domain world whose background he did not know.

Due to occupying the home-field advantage, and the fact that there were no powerhouses in that demonic domain world who could rival Ye Qingxiao for the time being,

so in the previous nine great battles, the human race of the Xuanli Realm basically occupied the advantage.

And according to the previous rules, the time for the next calm period of the border area of the two worlds was not far away.

Having led the humans of the Xuanli Realm to resist the invasion of the Qingmo race nine times in succession, Ye Qingxiao, who had matured a lot and whose temperament had become much more stable, looked at the border area of the two worlds not far away, the violent energy fluctuations and twisting space, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Qingxiao had a strong premonition in the dark that once the border area of the two worlds fell into a calm period this time, before one world's rules occupied a clear advantage and began to formally swallow the other, it would not erupt with violent energy and twist the space of the border area again.

That is to say, the Xuanli Realm and that demonic domain world were about to welcome the final battle to the death.

And in this premonition in the dark, Ye Qingxiao also sensed a faint and very obscure sense of crisis, always feeling that the border between this demonic domain world and the Xuanli Realm was not simple.

Thinking of this, a look of solemnity appeared in Ye Qingxiao's eyes.

Since that demonic domain world bordered the Xuanli Realm, perhaps because Ye Qingxiao was the strongest person in the Xuanli Realm at present, he began to have a very special but not obvious connection with the heaven and earth rules of the Xuanli Realm.

So Ye Qingxiao believed in his premonition in the Xuanli Realm very much.

And under this special connection with the Xuanli Realm, his speed of contemplating heaven and earth rules also became much faster.

In just seventy years, Ye Qingxiao could feel that he was only one step away from suddenly realizing the power of rules.

If it were not for the worry that his success rate of breaking through to the Void Penetration Realm in the lower world would be reduced, and the breakthrough would take a not-short time, he would have long gone into seclusion to break through.

"Ye Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeming to notice that Ye Qingxiao's expression was wrong, a green-clothed man not far from Ye Qingxiao flew to Ye Qingxiao's side and asked with some doubt.

This person was the same as Ye Qingxiao, one of the personal disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong who came to the Xuanli Realm to temper himself, named Xiao Yixian. Among the ten personal disciples of the Profound Yi Tianzong who came to the Xuanli Realm to temper themselves, Xiao Yixian's strength was only slightly better than Ye Qingxiao's, and his cultivation base was also at the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm.

In the process of resisting the invasion of the Qingmo race before, Xiao Yixian was one of the main forces, killing many Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race members alone.

"Nothing, just... I vaguely felt a sense of unease."

Facing Xiao Yixian's inquiry, Ye Qingxiao waved his hand, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said his premonition in his heart.

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian pondered for a moment, raised his head to look at the demonic domain world bordering the Xuanli Realm, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

But once Xiao Yixian withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Qingxiao again, he still opened his mouth to comfort him:

"Senior Brother, don't worry! In the lower world, with the strength of our two senior and junior brothers, there should be no Qingmo race who will be our opponent."

"Coupled with the help of other junior brothers and sisters, it should only be a matter of time before we conquer that demonic domain world."

"Perhaps!"

Regarding Xiao Yixian's comfort, Ye Qingxiao did not refute.

Sensing his premonition in the dark again, Ye Qingxiao patted Xiao Yixian on the shoulder and said softly:

"Pass the order down, let everyone prepare for battle!"

"This time, perhaps it is the decisive battle between us and the Qingmo race."

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's words, although Xiao Yixian was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask more, nodded, and promised:

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Then Xiao Yixian left here and flew towards the rear.

Three days later,

"Hum!" "Hum!" "Hum!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Following a series of violent spatial resonances, followed by a deafening roar.

The various violent energy at the border between the Xuanli Realm and that demonic domain world began to subside, and the twisted space gradually became peaceful.

Except for the heaven and earth rules of the two worlds still contending in the dark, the border area of the two worlds had returned to calm.

Such a big movement naturally attracted all the human cultivators preparing for battle in the Xuanli Realm.

Under everyone's gaze, just like the previous nine times, not long after the border area of the two worlds calmed down, a large wave of Qingmo race members flew towards the Xuanli Realm without restraint.

Looking at the dense figures of the Qingmo race in the distance, a cold look flowed in Ye Qingxiao's eyes, and he opened his mouth slightly to spit out a word coldly:

"Kill!"

Then Ye Qingxiao took the lead, holding the long sword in his hand, and was the first to kill towards the Qingmo race.

"Kill!"

"With Senior Brother Qingxiao here, we will definitely win!"

"Follow me to hack these beasts to death, today I want to prove the Dao through killing, and use the corpses of these beasts to break through to the Deity Transformation Realm."

Other human cultivators of the Void Meditation Realm and Deity Transformation Realm, at this time, also looked at the group of Qingmo race members viciously, and under Ye Qingxiao's leadership, slaughtered towards the Qingmo race members who entered the territory of the Xuanli Realm.

"Bang!" "Bang!"... "Pfft!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Sizzle!" "Rip!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of human and Qingmo race cultivators collided together, erupting with various collision and energy roaring and erosion sounds.

The entire far west of the Xuanli Realm suddenly appeared with various shining energy auroras and expanded at a very fast speed.

In just a few breaths, both sides had already lost hundreds of Void Meditation Realm cultivators.

If it were not for the fact that after the cross-boundary channel was opened, the cultivators of the Di Xuan Realm set up sacrificial arrays in the lower world, which could also sacrifice the corpses of the Qingmo race to improve their cultivation base.

After nine great battles, the corpses of the Qingmo race harvested had cultivated many human cultivators in the Xuanli Realm.

I am afraid that the human cultivators of the Xuanli Realm who had experienced nine great battles would have already fallen into a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

After killing an early-stage Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member with one sword, scanning the number of Qingmo race members in the battlefield, Ye Qingxiao raised his head to look at the direction of that demonic domain world, somewhat puzzled:

"In that demonic domain world, exactly how many Qingmo race Void Meditation Realm and Deity Transformation Realm cultivators are there?"

Although in that demonic domain world, it might also be possible to use the corpses of the human race to sacrifice and cultivate new Qingmo race powerhouses.

But the battlefields of the human race and the Qingmo race in the previous nine battles were all in the Xuanli Realm.

Occupying the home-field advantage, the number of Qingmo race cultivators who fell was clearly more than that of the human cultivators.

As a result, after nine great battles, the number of Qingmo race cultivators in that demonic domain world was instead vaguely pressing the human cultivators of the Xuanli Realm? With the doubt in his heart, Ye Qingxiao's figure moved at high speed in the battlefield.

"Clang!"

"Hmm? Actually have the guts to block the sword in my hand?"

Ye Qingxiao was originally prepared to kill the next early-stage Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member, but he did not expect that the sword he swung was blocked by a peak Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member.

And this peak Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member, Ye Qingxiao had not seen in the previous nine great battles.

Below, the peak Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race cultivator who blocked Ye Qingxiao's blow, at this time, looked at Ye Qingxiao with a ferocious and cruel expression, and said loudly: "Human boy, this deity is the Blood Capital Demonic Domain..."

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Pfft!" "Boom!"

Ye Qingxiao did not pay attention to the other party's words, his figure flickered, and he launched successive attacks on the other party from the air at a very fast speed, turning into a phantom.

Hundreds of feet of condensed-to-the-extreme, sharp-edged sword qi crisscrossed and attacked the other party.

In a hurry, the peak Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member opposite only blocked dozens of Ye Qingxiao's attacks, and then was hit and severely injured by one of Ye Qingxiao's sword qi.

Looking at the peak Deity Transformation Realm Qingmo race member who fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood, Ye Qingxiao sneered:

"A mere Deity Transformation Realm, also dare to call himself a deity? Ridiculous!"

Then, not giving the other party a chance to react, Ye Qingxiao held the long sword surrounded by spiritual power and killed towards the other party again.
