Chapter 358: The True Beginning

"I wonder how you feel, Your Excellency?" Xiao Han looked smilingly at the somewhat disheveled Xue Qing below, his long spear gathering a point of cold light, appearing rather ordinary within the pure white space.

"Heh heh~" Xue Qing took a slightly heavy breath and sneered, "Could it be that the Ice Saint is nothing more than a rat who hides his head and shows his tail?"

"Or do you really think you can exhaust me to death by relying on those things?"

Although those frost giants had caused him great trouble in this environment just now, that was all there was to it.

"That is naturally impossible," Xiao Han said with a straight face. "So, didn't I come here specifically to see you off on your final journey?"

"However, before that, there is still a grand gift that requires your appreciation."

"I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me!"

By the time he finished speaking, Xiao Han's face already carried a hint of schadenfreude.

"A grand gift?" Xue Qing was slightly startled. Without giving him a chance to ask, the former quickly revealed the answer.

Xiao Han remained expressionless, his fingers changing rapidly, and immediately after, a crystal-blue light seal rose from his palm.

Seeing this, Xue Qing's gaze sharpened, and his body tensed subconsciously. It seemed to be his illusion, but he felt that this seemingly ornate light seal had a faint, primordial-like suppression over him.

"Sweep the World and Cleanse the Dust!" Xiao Han gave a light laugh, then crushed the light seal in his hand, which turned into specks of starlight and quietly seeped into the space.

"Hm?" Xue Qing could not help but take a step back, carefully sensing the anomaly in the space, and then, his brows furrowed even tighter.

It was not some uncontrollable crisis; on the contrary, the space at this moment was unusually calm, with almost nothing worth being vigilant about.

Just as Xue Qing began to doubt his own judgment, Xiao Han's light laughter sounded in his ear,

"Do you know all of my intelligence?"

"What do you mean?" Xue Qing instinctively sensed the playfulness in Xiao Han's words.

"I think you probably don't!" Xiao Han said as if talking to himself.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a thousand-zhang light screen instantly appeared throughout the entire space. What was displayed in the light screen was the scene of the great battle between the two armies outside. Just as Xue Qing was completely bewildered, he suddenly caught an anomaly in the image.

"Good, good... very good!" Xue Qing said coldly, "I really underestimated your methods, Ice Saint."

"Such profound attainments in Spirit Arrays would be enough to make you a titan even if placed in that Great Thousand World."

………

Time shifts back two minutes.

At the moment Xiao Han crushed the light seal, everyone among the two warring sides heard a roar in unison,

"Boom!"

Regarding this, everyone was puzzled. Just at this moment...

"What is that below?" someone suddenly screamed.

Countless profound runes suddenly emerged beneath the entire battlefield, and a massive ring of light with a diameter of several thousand miles slowly rose from the ground, subsequently enveloping every battlefield in Langtian City.

However, these were not the true end. Rosy light broke through the thick cloud layer, and a great array blooming with dazzling white light slowly emerged from the clouds.

Ye Jianxin, who was fighting two Soul Clan Dou Sheng, saw this and felt joy in his heart. Cold light flickered in his eyes as he stared straight at his opponent, who was still in surprise, and a cold sneer hooked onto the corner of his mouth,

"Now it has finally come to our turn."

"Sword Shatters the Galaxy!" Ye Jianxin gave a low shout, pressed his index and middle fingers together, and lightly brushed the body of the Qingfeng Sword. The cyan sword aura, which had been no more than three inches from the sword, suddenly changed.

"Rise!" Behind Ye Jianxin, a humanoid phantom several thousand zhang tall suddenly appeared. Looking closely, the figure's appearance was actually somewhat similar to his own.

"This is..." The lips of the two Soul Clan Dou Sheng trembled slightly, yet they could not utter a single word. Feeling that pressure comparable to the early Seven-Star stage, what right did they, two Five-Star, have to face this!

The battle anomaly in this area was also noticed by others. Many Soul Clan powerhouses looked toward Ye Jianxin's battlefield with stunned expressions, but they could only look.

The current battlefield had long since become a mess. It was not just the Soul Clan; the coalition forces were mixed in as well. Even if some Soul Clan powerhouses had the intention to support, they would be held back firmly by other powerhouses.

What's more, for some reason, the Soul Clan powerhouses felt as if their own strength was being suppressed. Although their cultivation had not changed, their Dou Qi circulation was quite sluggish, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage when exchanging blows with the coalition powerhouses.

The two Soul Clan Dou Sheng seemed to realize their situation and wisely chose to fend for themselves.

The two had a ruthless look in their eyes and gritted their teeth to gather more than half of their Dou Qi. As for why it wasn't all of it, heh, in this situation, exhausting all of one's Dou Qi was no different from committing suicide.

"Dream Demon Heavenly Dragon!" A thousand-zhang giant dragon with its body wrapped in thick black Qi hissed and circled above the Soul Clan Dou Sheng.

"Ten Thousand Souls Ghost Evil!" The other did not fall behind. With a cold snort, an extremely powerful soul aura suddenly surged from within his body. Looking closely, that soul was entirely composed of countless soul bodies with ferocious expressions.

The endless black soul mist formed a skull ghost face on par with the black dragon, emitting a sharp hiss capable of shattering a person's soul, likewise floating in the sky, waiting in battle array.

A thousand-zhang giant sword arrived in an instant, appearing slow yet fast. Then, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, it sliced the black dragon and the ghost face in two as if cutting tofu!

Afterward, it slashed with undiminished momentum onto the bodies of the two Soul Clan Dou Sheng who were stunned in place. The violent Dou Qi instantly destroyed their bodies, and subsequently, the latter were swallowed by the torn space storm without any power to resist, quickly being torn into nothingness.

The battle anomaly in this area was also noticed by others, and then...

The momentum of the army surged in an instant. From time to time, one could see coalition Warriors erupting with powerful strength, instantly clearing away the opponents in front of them.

Ye Jianxin challenged two of the same rank and won with ease, which undoubtedly gave everyone a great shock.

"As expected of that kid's brother, his talent is also terrifyingly extreme!" Xiao Xuan, who was fighting Xuwu Swallowing Flame in the distance, also witnessed that astonishing scene just now and could not help but exclaim.

What concerned Xiao Xuan most was the method the other party used to erupt with the combat power of an early Seven-Star stage with the cultivation of a Five-Star Dou Sheng. The brilliance of that sword was indeed stunning to the world!

However, Xiao Xuan soon felt that the atmosphere on the field was not quite right. His Soul Power swept out and instantly encompassed the entire battlefield.

As for the fact that his distracted appearance caused Xuwu Swallowing Flame to feel great insult, Xiao Xuan did not care.

If it weren't for the fact that the Soul Clan was still of some use, a piece of trash like Xuwu Swallowing Flame, whose cultivation, Soul Power, and combat experience were all firmly suppressed by him, would have long been beaten into a dead dog on the spot and returned in a sorry state. The fact that the two were still trading blows was a favor from him, Xiao Xuan!

However, Xiao Xuan soon smoothed his brows and revealed a hearty smile. He looked up at the massive array above his head that seemed to have no use and realized, "So that's how it is. That kid actually still has such a trick up his sleeve!"

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to show any mercy!" Xiao Xuan's voice changed, his green robes fluttered, and he looked at the already slightly trembling Xuwu Swallowing Flame with a fierce glint in his eyes,

"Now, it is the true beginning!"
