Chapter 695

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

For a moment, divine radiance surged like a flood Above the Void.

The powerhouses of all realms shot toward the entrance of the Starry Sea.

And this entrance lay near the territory occupied by Yang Xuan.

"Crack!"

The Starry Sea's self‑contained space gradually released spatial patterns, seeking to join with a part of the God‑Burial Abyss; a mysterious aura poured out like a tide toward the surroundings, and endless splendour streamed from the incomparably gorgeous starlight, like gorgeous flowers blooming.

The many powerhouses of the Frost Flower Ancient Sect strode through the void, and beneath their feet a frost road directly formed, which they walked upon at ease.

The frost road led straight to the entrance of the Starry Sea!

The Flame God Sect's members all turned into streams of spiritual fire, as if to burn heaven and earth, continually rushing toward the entrance.

Also, at the Empty Light Temple, many Buddhist strong ones chanted, emitting a faint golden light from their bodies, with miraculous phenomena surging behind them.

A single thought—flowers bloom.

A year—flowers wither.

At this moment.

All the members of the Azure Sword Sect looked toward Yang Xuan.

The leader, Zhang Li, slowly rose and said, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, we too should set out and seize the initiative!"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Set out!"

"Hiss!" "Hiss!" "Hiss!"

In an instant, over a hundred Azure Sword Sect disciples took flight on their swords; sword qi shone like a white river illuminating heaven and earth, intensely fierce.

In the heavens, a sword rain fell, extremely magnificent!

Zhang Li slowly approached Yang Xuan, lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, there's no need to hide anything now. Did that ancient sword cultivator senior already tell you where the great opportunity lies?"

"This is an opportunity of the Sovereign Realm; once our Azure Sword Sect obtains it, we can rise again!"

Yang Xuan slightly furrowed his brow, shook his head, "I have never met that senior; he never told me anything."

Zhang Li's face turned somewhat unsightly, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, you're being unfair. Our Azure Sword Sect has only just descended into the God‑Burial Abyss for a day or two, yet I can sense the marvelous nature of the territory you occupy. This place truly possesses the Dao Resonance of the Starry Sword Way."

"Clearly that ancient senior values you highly. Moreover, Senior Brother Yang Xuan, think back: when you first entered the God‑Burial Abyss, you were only a Six‑Star God Sovereign; with such strength, could you possibly occupy a territory of millions of li in this place where every inch of land is priceless?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan fell into thought.

"What Junior Brother Zhang Li says makes sense!"

"Perhaps over these years, that ancient sword cultivator senior has been secretly helping him, but he never noticed."

"But that senior truly never revealed anything about the great opportunity."

"Not even a hint!"

A moment of silence.

Zhang Li said, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, you wouldn't still be thinking of swallowing this great opportunity for yourself, would you? It should be handed over to the sect!"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "I am already exhausted; if I can bring the opportunity back to see my sister, I can be buried in the sect's ancestral grounds, and my doctor will be satisfied. Of course I will hand the opportunity over to the sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li's heart turned cold.

"Damn it!"

"This Yang Xuan actually still thinks of returning to the sect!"

"If Yang Xuan really returns to the sect, then the mission entrusted to him by the sect leader would surely be a failure."

"More importantly, if Yang Xuan discovers that Yang Ling'er has been suffering continuously, enduring the torment of Chu Youwei, wouldn't that drive him mad in the Azure Sword Sect?"

Thinking thus, Zhang Li forced a smile, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, seeing how confident you are, you must have a plan."

Yang Xuan gave a bitter laugh, "I will do my utmost, Junior Brother Zhang Li. You need not worry about these."

He secretly sighed in his heart.

It seems these junior brothers and sisters of the Azure Sword Sect still rely heavily on this senior brother!

"Yes."

Over these years, it has been him gathering the stellar qi and feeding it back to the Azure Sword Sect.

This has forged a great power!

Although there are idle gossips telling Yang Xuan to stop, saying the Azure Sword Sect is sucking his blood.

But what does it matter if they suck his blood?

As a senior brother, he should let the Azure Sword Sect suck.

As long as the master and junior sister take good care of his sister.

Over these years, he has done these self‑sacrificial things.

He is proud!

He takes pride!

But beside him, Zhang Li's face grew colder and colder, and he thought of something, secretly calculating in his heart.

"If that ancient sword cultivator senior values Yang Xuan so highly, how can we take the great opportunity from his hands?"

"It definitely requires Yang Xuan to voluntarily give it to us!"

"In my view, if Yang Xuan obtains it, he will surely proactively turn it over."

"But I still need to apply some pressure on him, making him feel guilty toward the sect, so that the ancient sword cultivator senior does not notice any flaw."

"Hmm. Let's do it like that."

Zhang Li laughed.

He knew Yang Xuan likes to endure hardship.

Hehe... Since you like to endure hardship, let's give you endless hardship to endure.

After suffering, they still thanked us, hehehe...

At that moment.

Zhang Li discovered that many strong cultivators from various star fields were coldly staring at the people of their Azure Sword Sect, some even with killing intent.

He immediately said to Yang Xuan, "Senior Brother Yang Xuan, those who come bear no goodwill! Do these people all think Senior Brother Yang Xuan is likely to obtain that great opportunity?"

Yang Xuan gave a bitter laugh, "In the end, competition is inevitable."

Suddenly, Zhang Li's eyes lit up as he thought of an idea.

Upon entering this Starry Void Sea, other major powers might target their Azure Sword Sect.

He could design a deadly trap, letting Yang Xuan sacrifice himself, and then have Yang Xuan obediently hand over the great opportunity to them.

That would be perfect.

Yang Xuan is dead!

They also obtained the great opportunity!

Shortly after, the Jiang family's people passed by Yang Xuan.

The brocade-clad man Jiang Shi glanced at Yang Xuan, let out a cold snort, "Upon entering this Starry Void Sea, we may have to cross blades."

Yang Xuan remained silent.

The next instant.

"Hiss!"

A heaven-piercing sword qi swept across the void, incredibly fierce, two terrifying sword dao forces tearing heaven and earth apart.

Everyone was slightly stunned.

Who has come?

Such pure sword intent!

The crowd saw a woman in plain robes walking on the starry sky with her bare feet; beneath her feet a heavenly road formed, her long hair fluttering, her exquisite face icy, as if devoid of emotion, appearing like a fairy descending to the mortal world, beautiful as a scroll coming to life.

The crowd marveled, although she was only a one-star Heavenly God realm!

However, the sword dao on this woman's body gave their great dao a sense of suppression!

A sword dao close to the source!

Soon.

The plain-robed woman Qingqiu surpassed Yang Xuan and the others, she did not even glance at Yang Xuan.

Although he had heard Yang Xuan's story from his master and felt he was somewhat pitiable.

But pitiful is pitiful.

There are many pitiful people in the world.

At that moment.

Zhang Li licked his lips, gazing at Qingqiu's exquisite back, and asked, "Fairy, I invite you to join our Azure Sword Sect. At that time, I can personally teach you sword dao!"

Qingqiu directly ignored him.

Many strong cultivators from other major powers all looked toward Zhang Li.

Zhang Li's embarrassed face twitched; he lowered his voice to Yang Xuan and said, "This woman, I must obtain her! I will make her submit to me and become my dao companion! Senior Brother Yang Xuan, help me then!"

Yang Xuan blinked slightly, "This..."

Soon.

In the Burial God Abyss, a large portion of Heavenly God realm experts and Divine Sovereign realm experts have stepped into the Starry Void Sea.

"Boom!"

The Starry Void Sea slammed shut, divine radiance towering, illuminating the void.

The crowd shockingly discovered that they had lost consciousness.

Deep above their heads, in an unseen place, the Iron Starry Firmament flicked his sleeve.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The power of ages began to turn!
