“You… Who are you?!” Mi Xuan was shocked. He did not expect to be pulled out of Feng Qing Yang’s body so easily. Since his true form was that of a soul, he still functioned very normally. However, he soon discovered he could not move at all in front of the golden-clad young man. His soul had been completely suppressed. The other party’s aura was frighteningly powerful.

“Mi Xuan, don’t bother to struggle,” Duan Ling Tian said coldly, “Do you think you can escape from an Emperor of Gods?”

‘Emperor of Gods!’

Not only did Mi Xuan tremble violently upon hearing these words, but his subordinates, including the Vice Leader of the Profound Spirit Alliance, trembled in fear as well. They were shocked that their leader actually provoked an Emperor of Gods. Earlier, they had been wondering what kind of person could deal with their leader, who was an intermediate Lord of Gods, so easily. As it turned out, the other party was an Emperor of Gods. As expected of an Emperor of Gods to possess such terrifying strength.

“My lord, what benefits did Duan Ling Tian promise you? Why are you helping him to deal with me?” Mi Xuan asked in a trembling voice as he looked at Ye Chen Feng, “I’m willing to give you more than what he promised as long as you’re willing to spare my life!”

Mi Xuan did not doubt the golden-clad young man in front of him was an Emperor of Gods. Otherwise, the other party would not have been able to pull him out of Feng Qing Yang’s body so easily. He did not even have a chance to resist.

Ye Chen Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian after Mi Xuan finished speaking. “Duan Ling Tian…”

“Elder Ye, thank you for granting me my wish,” Duan Ling Tian said to Ye Chen Feng gratefully. Following that, he looked at Mi Xuan, and two streaks of light shot out of his eyes toward Mi Xuan; it was a soul attack.

Before they looked for Mi Xuan, Duan Ling Tian had told Ye Chen Feng that he hoped to kill Mi Xuan with his own hands.

Ye Chen Feng did not care about who killed Mi Xuan. After all, he could use Mi Xuan to nourish his incomplete sword soul in his prominent divine sword as long as he preserved Mi Xuan’s soul quickly after Mi Xuan died.

“No!” Mi Xuan wanted to struggle and resist when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s soul attack sweeping toward him. Alas, he discovered he could not mobilize his soul energy at all. At this moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him. It dawned on him that Duan Ling Tian was likely so eager to kill him because Duan Ling Tian wanted to silence him. He was certain that Duan Ling Tian wanted to kill him because Duan Ling Tian was afraid he would expose the fact that Duan Ling Tian possessed all Five Divine Elements.

Mi Xuan hurriedly looked at Ye Chen Feng and cried out, “My lord, Duan Ling Tian possesses the Five Div…”

Mi Xuan did not even finish saying the word ‘divine’ before Duan Ling Tian’s soul attack killed him.

Ye Chen Feng did not have time to think about Mi Xuan’s unfinished words. As soon as Mi Xuan died, he brought a unique black bottle out and waved his hand, storing Mi Xuan’s soul that was about to disperse. After he was done, he shook the bottle with a smile on his face and said, “Thank you, Duan Ling Tian.”

Ye Chen Feng did not dwell on Mi Xuan’s unfinished words. In his opinion, Mi Xuan likely thought that whatever Duan Ling Tian possessed was a rare treasure, but he did not think he would find it a treasure. After all, the things intermediate Lords of Gods, especially one who had never even been to the Realms of Gods, considered precious were nothing in the eyes of an Emperor of Gods like him. Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian had done him a big favor this time. He had no intention of robbing Duan Ling Tian even if Duan Ling Tian possessed some rare treasure.

Duan Ling Tian naturally was unaware of Ye Chen Feng’s thoughts. He only knew his goal had been achieved. After all, only a dead man could keep a secret. Previously, after killing Wu Hong Qing and gaining control of the Title Temple, he had quietly investigated the matter and discovered that Wu Hong Qing did not tell anyone else about the fact that he was in possession of the Five Divine Elements. Clearly, Wu Hong Qing had hoped to gain all Five Divine Elements. This was also likely the reason Mi Xuan did not tell anyone about his Five Divine Elements.

The Five Divine Elements were highly coveted. There were rumors that they would help one in becoming a supreme powerhouse and would give one immense power. With the Five Divine Elements, it was even possible to defeat someone with a higher cultivation base.

Duan Ling Tian said sincerely, “No, I should be the one to thank you, Elder Ye. Thank you for rescuing my master.”

Feng Qing Yang finally returned to his senses. He quickly thanked Ye Chen Feng as well. “Thank you for your help.”

After Feng Qing Yang finished speaking, he did not waste time and attacked Mi Xuan’s subordinates.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Sword rays flew out in the air toward Tai Yuan, the Vice Leader of the Profound Spirit Alliance and also a rudimentary Lord of Gods, and the other members of the alliance. All of them froze as though time had stopped.

When the sword rays swept past, all of Mi Xuan’s subordinates were beheaded in just an instant. Only Tai Yuan managed to escape at the last minute; even then, he had lost one of his arms to the sword rays.

“The law of time and the Sword Dao?” Ye Chen Feng waved his hand casually as he looked at Feng Qing Yang with a hint of surprise.

A sword ray shot out and killed Tai Yuan who was trying to flee.

Feng Qing Yang stared at Ye Chen Feng, shocked. This was because he discovered Ye Chen Feng had also comprehended the Sword Dao. Ye Cheng did not only master the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao, but Ye Chen Feng had also mastered it to the rudimentary stage. Surprisingly, his Sword Dao was stronger than that of Ye Chen Feng.

“I didn’t expect you to master the Sword Dao to this extent when you’ve only been in the Devata Realms…” Ye Cheng Feng said. He said with a sigh, “For nearly 20,000 years, I’ve never met anyone who surpasses my Sword Dao. You’re the first.”

Ye Chen Feng thought that the person in front of him was a Sword Dao genius. This was his impression of Feng Qing Yang. It was a rather unforgettable impression.

In the past, Ye Chen Feng had thought about the day he would be able to meet someone whose Sword Dao was equal to or stronger than his. However, he did not expect now that he had met the person outside of the Realms of Gods. Moreover, the other party was much younger than him, and the other party’s cultivation base was also much lower than his.

After becoming a Lord of Gods, one would be able to sense others’ bone age with one’s Divine Consciousness. Although one would not be able to precisely guess the age, it was still quite a close estimate. For this reason, Ye Chen Feng knew that Feng Qing Yang was only around 10,000 years old.

Feng Qing Yang said, surprised, “Apart from my disciple, you’re the first person I met who has comprehended the Sword Dao.”

Feng Qing Yang could tell that Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao was very different from his. Although there were differences between his and Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Dao, they shared the same essence. As for Ye Chen Feng, the essence of their Sword Dao was completely different.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian frowned briefly upon hearing his master’s words. He did not expect his master to expose his mastery of the Sword Dao in front of Ye Chen Feng. This would have been troublesome if they were in a Realm of Gods.

There were many narrow-minded powerhouses in the Realms of Gods. They were prone to jealousy and would definitely cause trouble if they found out someone younger than them with a lower cultivation base managed to master the Sword Dao, which they failed to do.

Hence, Duan Ling Tian instinctively frowned when his master openly revealed his mastery of the Sword Dao. However, his frown eased very quickly when he thought that it was fine to reveal this matter to Ye Chen Feng. Now that he had put this matter aside, he also felt rather surprised that the Ascension Elder from the Pure Yang Sect had also comprehended the Sword Dao. Since he went to the Realm of Gods, he had not met anyone who had comprehended the rudimentary stage of any one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. Similar to his master, he could also sense that Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao was weaker than his.

“Apart from your disciple?” Ye Chen Feng asked. Then, he said with a smile, “Oh, that’s right. Duan Ling Tian has mastered the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. The rudimentary form is considered the real Sword Dao in the Realms of Gods.”

“The rudimentary form of the Sword Dao?” Feng Qing Yang was slightly confused. Then, just as he was about to correct Ye Chen Feng, he received a Voice Transmission from Duan Ling Tian.

“Master, I hid my true strength while I was in the Realm of Gods. I only revealed the rudimentary form of my Sword Dao in front of others.”

Feng Qing Yang was not stupid so he immediately understood Duan Ling Tian’s meaning. Hence, he nodded and agreed with Ye Chen Feng’s words. Then, he added, “However, in Devata Realms, the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao isn’t considered the real Sword Dao.”

Ye Chen Feng nodded. “I know. I came from a mundane realm.”

Feng Qing Yang switched the topic seamlessly and said with a wry smile, “That’s right! I should’ve known. After all, when you attacked earlier, your strength was that of an Emperor of Gods. If you were a native of the Realms of Gods and not from the lower realms, your strength would have been restrained.”

…

After the trio returned to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Ye Chen Feng stayed for quite a long time. He spent his time there discussing the Sword Dao with Feng Qing Yang. Both of them benefited from their discussion.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect that Ye Chen Feng would be so keen to discuss the Sword Dao with his master after his master displayed his Sword Dao. Apart from that, he also did not expect his master and Ye Chen Feng to become good friends so quickly.

Finally, before Ye Chen Feng left, he said with a smile, “Qing Yang, in the future, when you come to the Profound Energy Land, come to the Pure Yang Sect and join my Hidden Fog faction.” Then, he added with a wry smile, “As long as you’re willing to join me, I can even accept you as a disciple on my master’s behalf and recognize you as my junior brother.”
