Chapter 483: I, Ye Xu, Am Invincible!

"Master, is he really a Third Tribulation Dao Lord?"

Dao Lord Long Yuan widened his eyes and asked Dao Sovereign Penglai beside him.

Dao Sovereign Penglai was dressed in a purple robe, his aura deep and prison-like, awe-inspiring without anger. As a Dao Sovereign who had passed the second decay of Heaven and Man, his strength went without saying.

"In my eyes, he is indeed a Third Tribulation Dao Lord," Dao Sovereign Penglai said solemnly. "If he has concealed his aura, there are only two possibilities."

"First, the cultivation method he practices has surpassed the Dao Sovereign level."

"Second, his cultivation is still above mine."

Dao Lord Long Yuan didn’t even need to think. It must be the second reason!

"Then what should we do?" Dao Lord Long Yuan said with an unwilling expression. "Could it be that we have to give up Luo Nishang?"

Dao Sovereign Penglai’s gaze was like an ancient well, calm and undisturbed.

Boom!

Suddenly.

The weather in Canglan City underwent a great change, dark clouds pressed overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, a massive physical manifestation stood amidst the lightning, lightning coiled around its body like dragons, its aura was violent.

This physical manifestation’s strength was unmatched, having reached the peak of Nine Tribulations Dao Lord, only a step away from Dao Sovereign.

"Who is this person?"

Dao Lord Long Yuan felt a heart-stopping oppressive force and said in shock: "Does he intend to attack the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion?"

"Just a physical manifestation."

Dao Sovereign Penglai laughed.

Finally, a Dao Sovereign couldn’t hold back and wanted to strike at Ye Xu.

Crash!

The physical manifestation in the thundercloud pressed down with a palm, the boundless void was compressed, collapsing wildly, condensing into a point, Ye Xu, the Old Man with White Brows, the Young Female Daoist, and the Beast Sect Master were all enveloped by the divine ability.

"Daoist brother, I am innocent!" roared the Beast Sect Master.

He was merely near Ye Xu and also encountered an unexpected calamity.

"Why do you suddenly attack, Daoist friend?" said the Old Man with White Brows, his expression changing drastically.

Although it was a small gap between one tribulation Dao Lord levels, the difference in power was like a profound chasm.

The Old Man with White Brows and the Young Female Daoist exerted their full effort, marshaling their mana, activating their treasures, but they barely managed to hold the space, their standing area was just within a radius of one zhang.

"Daoist friend, you are truly impatient; upon arriving at Canglan Divine City, you want to kill me."

"It’s a pity, only one physical manifestation is far from enough."

Ye Xu smiled, stood with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Daoist friend, if you truly wish to cause my death, then descend with your true self!"

Hmph!

In the heavenly dome, a cold snort descended. That physical manifestation rubbed its palms together. The Yin Yang Origin Dao transformed into a Taiji diagram, splitting heaven and earth apart. Two streaks of sword light slashed into the spatial point.

"How remarkably powerful this person is!"

The Head of the Qin Family was inwardly shaken. Though separated by a great distance and untouched by the residual power, he still sensed the terror of that technique and the might of the Dao Sovereign’s physical manifestation.

"He ultimately avoided descending in his true form,"

the Xuan Du Ancient Immortal sighed regretfully. "What a pity."

If the Dao Sovereign had arrived physically, he would surely have tested Ye Xu’s true strength.

Even so,

a single strike from a peak Nine Tribulations Dao Lord still left everyone awestruck.

"Pah!"

The Yin Yang sword energy descended, severing the Daos of both the Old Man with White Brows and the Young Female Daoist. Their treasures cracked, and they vomited blood, their auras growing feeble.

The Beast Sect Master was nearly split in two by the attack, while his Bi’an mount disintegrated into pieces beneath him.

With just one slash, it nearly claimed his life.

"Master, won’t you intervene?" the Young Female Daoist implored Ye Xu.

"This Master upholds benevolence and justice. I refuse to exploit others in peril."

Ye Xu spoke earnestly. "For each of you three individuals and your beast companion, one million divine stones, and I shall save your lives."

"…"

The Beast Sect Master’s eyes blazed with fury.

When gods clashed, it was the weak who suffered.

Not only was he grievously wounded, but now he had to pay a million divine stones for rescue?

"Master, we endured this because of you," the Young Female Daoist fumed.

"Then you may seek vengeance upon the attacker,"

Ye Xu replied with serene indifference. "I could disclose his weaknesses. With the three of you united, you stand a twenty percent chance of slaying him."

"Master, help me!"

The Beast Sect Master heard this and frantically retrieved a Dao Lord-level treasure.

Seeing this, the Old Man with White Brows and the Young Female Daoist did not dare hesitate any further. Each produced a million divine stones and presented them to Ye Xu.

"I am here now."

Ye Xu accepted the treasures and uttered a single syllable.

"Disperse!"

Bang!

The moment he spoke, the sword light manifested from the Yin Yang Origin Dao exploded violently into nothingness, neutralizing the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord’s technique without a trace.

"The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is making his move!"

A Dao Lord watching from the shadows felt his pupils contract sharply.

With a single word effortlessly defeating a Nine Tribulations Dao Lord’s ability, it must have been a Dao Sovereign.

"Ha ha ha…"

Above in the sky, the physical manifestation of the Dao Sovereign laughed heartily, "The master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion truly lives up to his reputation; no wonder he dares to single-handedly protect Dao Sovereign Ziyang’s disciple."

"Today, this one has truly learned a lesson."

"Until we meet again."

The thunder clouds immediately scattered, and the physical manifestation of the Dao Sovereign turned into mist, flying towards outside Canglan City.

Ye Xu reached out and clenched in the void.

Instantly, everyone felt dizzy as if the world was spinning, but that sensation lasted only a brief moment before everything returned to normal.

The Old Man with White Brows and the Young Female Daoist leaned their heads to look at Ye Xu’s palm.

Then they saw Ye Xu slowly open his hand.

In his palm, the physical manifestation of the Dao Sovereign was dashing rapidly, like light and lightning, unbeatable in speed.

The three tensed up inside.

This physical manifestation of the Dao Sovereign clearly believed it had escaped to safety, unaware that it was still in Ye Xu’s palm.

"The Master’s methods are truly unfathomable; I deeply admire them," the Old Man with White Brows said with sincere conviction.

The Young Female Daoist was also deeply awed and respectful.

"Nothing special, no need to overreact!" Ye Xu laughed.

"Daoist friend, are you tired from fleeing yet?"

His voice reached the ears of the physical manifestation of the Dao Sovereign.

In that instant, this physical manifestation halted where it was and lifted its head in disbelief, only to see an exceptionally handsome youth whose eyes sparkled like stars, staring down at it like a giant with a teasing look.

"No matter how skilled one is, there’s always someone more cunning," the physical manifestation chuckled. "Since this one has fallen into Daoist friend’s hands, I submit to your disposal."

"Daoist friend Lingxu, I won’t kill you," Ye Xu instantly revealed the true identity of the physical manifestation.

"Dao Sovereign Lingxu?" The eyes of the Old Man with White Brows and the Young Female Daoist twitched.

Obviously, both knew exactly who Dao Sovereign Lingxu was.

Ye Xu also recognized him.

He had suppressed Dao Sovereign Lingxu’s physical manifestation and peered into its memories; Dao Sovereign Lingxu’s true form was the first innate Golden Crow cultivated in the Nine Yang Immortal Domain.

This was a Two Tribulations Dao Sovereign.

"Oh?" Dao Sovereign Lingxu laughed. "If that’s the case, why not withdraw your technique and let me out?"

Whoosh!

Ye Xu moved with a thought.

Dao Sovereign Lingxu transformed into a streak of light as his physical manifestation grew larger and larger, firmly pinned in the void.

"Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, how dare you humiliate me like this?"

Dao Sovereign Lingxu struggled furiously, but gradually revealed his Golden Crow form.

This physical body was one he’d claimed by occupying nests.

"A Golden Crow?"

Dao Sovereign Penglai frowned briefly before his expression smoothed, a trace of mockery appearing on his face. "It’s that little Golden Crow from the Nine Yang Immortal Domain."

"It’s Dao Sovereign Lingxu?" Dao Lord Long Yuan exclaimed in shock.

"That little Golden Crow was arrogant and domineering; today he’s tasting the bitter fruit of his actions," Dao Sovereign Penglai stated.

Deep within the void.

Thoughts intertwined, rippling like disturbed waters.

Dao Sovereign Lingxu’s avatar being pinned above Canglan City was clearly about making an example of him to frighten others.

"People say Dao Sovereign Lingxu is domineering, but to me, the methods of the Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion are even more brazen, showing no respect whatsoever."

Ice Phoenix Demon Lord was horrified.

Xuan Du Ancient Immortal felt equally uneasy.

If Dao Sovereign Lingxu was the monkey being warned, they were the chickens.

"Thought it was a big fish, turned out to be a pauper." Ye Xu’s expression darkened; Dao Sovereign Lingxu’s Golden Crow avatar didn’t have a single artifact on it.

Not even the slightest sign of a Dao Lord-level treasure.

No wonder he dared to strike; he had absolutely nothing to lose.

"The old bastard is truly cunning."

Ye Xu sneered coldly. "I’ll leave you pinned here in the void indefinitely. Let this story spread across every immortal domain."

He put aside his distracting thoughts.

There were more pressing matters at hand.

"My dear friends, cease hiding in the shadows. Show yourselves." Ye Xu spoke expressionlessly. "I’ll count to three. Anyone still hiding by the end will be shown no mercy. Killed on sight."

"One…"

Everyone stiffened. The Dao Lords were visibly shaken. The Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion possessed immense power, and he hadn’t shown the slightest deference to even a Dao Sovereign’s physical manifestation. He truly dared to kill.

Figures began to appear one after another.

Dao Sovereign Penglai wasted no time, appearing alongside Dao Lord Long Yuan.

Some, however, still hesitated.

"Three."

Ye Xu grinned.

"Shit!"

The Dao Lords collectively cursed.

Boom!

But it was far too late.

The moment "three" was uttered, four Dao Lords were instantly obliterated, their treasures falling directly into Ye Xu’s possession.

Everyone trembled.

"He just ignored martial ethics…"

Xuan Du Ancient Immortal breathed a sigh of relief. His swift reaction had saved him from disaster.

In that instant.

All the Dao Lords fell silent, looking at Ye Xu with a mixture of terror and shock. They stayed rooted to the spot, too afraid to even move a muscle.
