Chapter 142: One Sword to Kill You!

The greatest clash of the younger generation in history!

　　At this moment, everyone across the entire universe held their breath, eyes locked onto that battlefield, not even daring to blink, afraid of missing a single moment of this spectacular fight.

　　The younger generation couldn’t fully grasp what was happening — they just wanted to enjoy the spectacle, so the more intense the battle, the more thrilled they were. But the veterans among the older generation all wore expressions of grave solemnity, because the combat power Ye Tianming and Yang Jia were displaying had exceeded all expectations — far exceeded them!

　　When Ye Tianming surged skyward wrapped in the force of ten thousand powers, the space and time he passed through began to crumble inch by inch. High above, Yang Jia’s figure shuddered as well, transforming into a streak of sword light that slashed ferociously down toward Ye Tianming below.

　　The instant he unleashed that sword strike, the power of countless living beings and the force of the True Word Laws came swarming out, ultimately pouring entirely into the tip of the Qingxuan Sword.

　　With so many terrifying forces combined, aside from those three swords, only the Qingxuan Sword could withstand such power.

　　In this moment, both of them had truly begun to fight with everything they had.

　　To kill the other!

　　Under the gaze of all, the two swords crashed violently together.

　　Boom!

　　That collision truly shook the heavens and split the earth. Both were instantly sent flying backward, and in the moment they were hurled away, tens of thousands of terrifying shockwaves of force erupted all at once, spreading outward in all directions like a roaring tide.

　　The faces of those watching nearby changed drastically in an instant, and they all scrambled to retreat.

　　At the same time, dozens of Circle-Breaking realm experts rushed forward, joining forces to block those shockwaves — but very quickly, their expressions shifted as well, and they too fell back in a panic, not daring to resist at all.

　　Because within those shockwaves lay not only the power of the Qingxuan Sword and the True Word Book, but also Ye Tianming’s Law of All Living Beings.

　　And all of these forces completely ignored the boundaries of cultivation!

　　Every Circle-Breaking realm expert retreated simultaneously, none of them willing to take the hit head-on.

　　Seeing that even the Circle-Breaking realm experts weren’t blocking the shockwaves, the faces of the other spectators instantly drained of color — because if those shockwaves reached them, they would die without question.

　　In this moment of despair, someone suddenly looked up toward the small golden pagoda floating in the sky. “Tower God, please save us!”

　　Tower God!

　　At those words, everyone in the area turned to look at the small pagoda. The moment they saw it, the despair that had gripped them gave way to a surge of new hope, and they all fell to their knees. “Tower God, save us!”

　　Tower God!

　　Hearing that title, the small pagoda gave a sudden jolt of excitement. It let out a hearty laugh, its form trembling, and in an instant, thousands upon thousands of golden rays of light cascaded down across heaven and earth, blocking every last shockwave of force.

　　At the sight of this, the people below erupted in cheers. “Tower God is invincible!”

　　”Tower God is invincible!”

　　Wave after wave of cheers surged up to the heavens like a tide, shaking the entire universe.

　　High above, the small pagoda laughed loudly. “No need for all this, everyone — just basic moves, basic moves…….”

　　Everyone: “……”

　　From the shadows, Nalan Feng and the others stared hard at the small pagoda. They had never forgotten that this broken pagoda followed Ye Tianming — and right now, it was clear this broken pagoda actually had some real substance to it.

　　In this moment, they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease. Because as the fight had gone on, they had suddenly realized that Yang Jia might not be a guaranteed winner after all.

　　With the threat to their lives resolved, everyone in the area quickly turned their attention back to the distant battlefield. At this moment, that battlefield had been completely swallowed by all manner of forces, and they couldn’t see Ye Tianming or Yang Jia at all.

　　Everyone’s hearts leapt into their throats.

　　Who had lost?

　　Soon, the various forces in the combat zone gradually dissipated, and Ye Tianming and Yang Jia came back into view.

　　When they saw the two of them, everyone in the area froze.

　　Half of Yang Jia’s physical body had been sheared away, and his remaining half-soul was nearly transparent — but a sword was fused with that translucent soul, none other than the Qingxuan Sword, which was forcibly anchoring his soul and preventing that half from being immediately erased!

　　And surrounding him, the endless power of all living beings and the force of the True Word Book had also been reduced by half!

　　All of it had been forcibly wiped away!

　　From the shadows, when Nalan Feng and the others saw the state Yang Jia was in, their expressions all darkened. In this moment, they were no longer composed.

　　Because they had realized that Yang Jia, when facing Ye Tianming, not only held no advantage whatsoever — he was at a severe disadvantage.

　　Nalan Feng stared hard at Ye Tianming and Yang Jia in the distance. “Have them get ready.”

　　The others fell silent. Silence was consent.

　　At the start, they had all placed complete faith in Yang Jia — after all, he was the son of the Guanxuan Sword Master, the most monstrous talent of the current age, and he carried so many divine artifacts on him. How could he possibly lose to someone his own age?

　　But the facts were telling them that Yang Jia winning was far from certain.

　　And Yang Jia absolutely could not lose.

　　If Yang Jia was about to lose, they would flip the table without hesitation!

　　Yang Jia could not lose!

　　The Guanxuan Universe could not lose!

　　On the other side, Nan Yuan looked up into the void, his eyes narrowing slightly, his expression grave.

　　Beside him, Wei Qian’s face had also darkened somewhat. He said in a low voice, “The people of the Guanxuan Universe are getting restless.”

　　Nan Yuan nodded. “Brother Wei, if something changes in a moment, we must protect Young Master Ye at any cost.”

　　Wei Qian nodded. “Of course.”

　　He had already chosen a side, and having done so, there was no turning back — he could only see it through to the end. His thinking was the same as Nan Yuan’s: even if their combined strength couldn’t match the Guanxuan Universe, as long as Ye Tianming stayed alive, their civilization would have hope!

　　At this moment, all the powerful fighters of the Hundred Clans Era and the Ancient Civilization were already on full alert, ready to act at any time.

　　In the arena, everyone’s gaze quickly fell on Ye Tianming. He stood there, his entire body covered in dense sword wounds, while blood continued to seep steadily from the corner of his mouth, and the sword intent surrounding him was gradually being worn away.

　　The power of all living beings, plus the True Word Book, plus the Qingxuan Sword.

　　It was fortunate that his Law of All Living Beings had forcibly erased half of those forces — otherwise, even with his strengthened physical body, he would certainly have been killed instantly.

　　But even so, he was still severely wounded.

　　After all, what Yang Jia held in his hand was the Qingxuan Sword.

　　Yang Jia looked at Ye Tianming. He had never imagined that Ye Tianming would actually withstand that sword strike head-on.

　　He slowly closed his eyes.

　　That Law of All Living Beings…… was truly terrifying. Even he felt a deep wariness toward it.

　　He knew he probably had only one more chance to strike.

　　Because Ye Tianming could certainly unleash the Law of All Living Beings one more time…… and in his current state, it would be very difficult to withstand it again.

　　On top of that, he still had no idea whether Ye Tianming had actually reached his limit.

　　Just then, Ye Tianming in the distance suddenly looked up at him. “Do you have any more cards to play?”

　　His tone was calm. Composed.

　　Hearing those words, the expressions of all the spectators around them turned strange — Ye Tianming had completely dominated Yang Jia in terms of presence.

　　Yang Jia stared hard at Ye Tianming and shot back, “And do you have any more cards to play?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded. “I do.”

　　Yang Jia’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Then bring it on!”

　　Boom!

　　The words had barely fallen when a surge of blood radiance suddenly erupted from within him. In just an instant, the entire area where he stood transformed into a sea of blood.

　　The Frenzied Demon Bloodline awakened!

　　He spread both hands wide, and very quickly, his previously shattered physical body was directly reconstructed by the Frenzied Demon Bloodline.

　　Rebuilding the flesh through bloodline power!

　　Wave after wave of terrifying bloodline might spread outward across heaven and earth.

　　The onlookers around him retreated once again, not daring to get close to Yang Jia’s terrifying bloodline force — because it would affect their minds.

　　Even the Circle-Breaking realm experts all stepped back, unwilling to face the Frenzied Demon Bloodline head-on. The killing intent and ferocity within it were simply too overwhelming.

　　Yang Jia suddenly opened his eyes. Within them was a sea of blood-red, churning like a roiling crimson ocean — utterly terrifying.

　　The Frenzied Demon Bloodline!

　　The number one bloodline in this universe today!

　　Yang Jia suddenly drew his Qingxuan Sword. With the Frenzied Demon Bloodline helping to suppress the damage, his half-vanished soul could now barely hold its own against Ye Tianming’s Law of All Living Beings. And the moment he gripped the Qingxuan Sword, it turned blood-red.

　　This was the power of the bloodline!

　　Yang Jia raised the sword high in his right hand and roared, “All living beings, lend me your strength one more time.”

　　Boom!

　　Across heaven and earth, the power of countless living beings surged in endlessly, ultimately pouring entirely into the Qingxuan Sword in his hand. Not only that — the True Word Book suddenly transformed into a beam of golden light that shot into the sky, and in the next instant, tens of billions of golden runes blanketed heaven and earth, as wave after wave of terrifying True Word Law force rushed toward Yang Jia like a tide.

　　At this moment, Yang Jia’s aura instantly reached its peak — yet even so, he still couldn’t break through the restriction of Ye Tianming’s Law of All Living Beings, and his cultivation realm remained firmly suppressed.

　　Yang Jia had tried to break through the restriction of the Law of All Living Beings, but found it completely useless. So he simply stopped trying. He looked at Ye Tianming not far away and roared, “One sword to kill you!”

　　The words fell, and he suddenly transformed into a ten-thousand-foot blood-colored sword light that slashed ferociously down toward Ye Tianming.

　　As that sword strike was unleashed, the space between heaven and earth was torn apart.

　　Below, Ye Tianming’s expression remained perfectly calm. He watched quietly as Yang Jia’s sword came for him. This strike was far, far more powerful than the one before — the amplification from the bloodline power was terrifying beyond measure, and combined with the Qingxuan Sword…

　　The might of this single strike was enough to make even the Circle-Breaking realm experts in the area feel a sense of dread!

　　Overwhelming force breaks all technique — Yang Jia was clearly trying to shatter Ye Tianming’s Law of All Living Beings through sheer, absolute power.

　　From the shadows, Nalan Feng stared hard at Ye Tianming. “Let’s see how you die!”

　　Just then, Ye Tianming suddenly drew his sword. The instant he did, the faces of Nalan Feng and the others changed drastically. Nalan Feng roared, “Protect the Young Master!”

　　With that, he threw all caution aside and directly intervened by force.

　　Because the moment Ye Tianming drew his sword, everyone was stunned.

　　They had discovered that Ye Tianming’s physical cultivation realm had jumped directly from the Supreme Immortal realm to the Circle-Breaking realm.

　　What the hell?

　　What was going on?

　　Everyone was stunned.

　　And when Nalan Feng and the others saw this, they didn’t hesitate for a single moment — they acted immediately, because they understood perfectly well that once Ye Tianming reached the Circle-Breaking realm, Yang Jia had no chance of winning.

　　As Nalan Feng and the others made their move, Nan Yuan, Wei Qian, and the others also sprang into action.

　　In just an instant, the entire arena erupted into a full-scale clash of civilizations!

　　And the spectators were completely dumbfounded.

　　What the hell?

　　You were just fighting each other and now you’ve all broken into a brawl?

　　What is going on?

　　Although the Ancient Civilization and the Hundred Clans Era were no match for the Guanxuan Universe in overall strength, they were more than capable of holding them back for a moment — and that one moment was all it took.

　　Below, when Yang Jia saw Ye Tianming’s cultivation realm suddenly reach the Circle-Breaking realm, his expression changed drastically. He had never expected Ye Tianming to suddenly break through to the Circle-Breaking realm. Just as he was at a loss for what to do, Ye Tianming’s sword had already arrived before him.

　　Circle-Breaking realm, plus a sword that decided life and death, plus the Law of All Living Beings!

　　That single strike instantly shattered every last bit of Yang Jia’s power.

　　It was utterly devastating.

　　By the time Yang Jia came to his senses, Ye Tianming had already seized him by the throat. Almost simultaneously, a streak of sword light came slashing in from the side, aimed directly at Ye Tianming — but the moment Ye Tianming’s hand closed around Yang Jia’s throat, that sword light stopped dead in its tracks, half a zhang in front of Ye Tianming.

　　Behind that sword light stood a woman.

　　Ye Tianming ignored the woman entirely. He fixed his gaze on Yang Jia and snarled, “You’re already done before I’ve even used my third Law? You’ve really disappointed me!!”
