"Shut up, Brat! Hand over Gongyang Zhenjun immediately, or Old Man will turn you to dust and obliterate your soul today!"
"Damn it, this kid is trying to sow discord. Don't fall for it, everyone."
"You despicable scoundrel, surrender at once!"
...
Watching the various expressions of the furious experts from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect, Ye Kai sighed inwardly. Truly, where there are people, there is a world of intrigue. Even within the same Sect, how could a Primordial Spirit True Monarch be so impatient?
"You! Yes, you—the old man with the goatee and a dark face. Stop looking around; I'm talking about you."
Ye Kai pointed at the old man standing next to another short and plump Primordial Spirit True Monarch, speaking in a casual tone, "How about This Sect releases your Gongyang Zhenjun so you can have a word with him?"
"I'm quite puzzled. Among everyone here, you're the only one exuding such murderous intent. Not only have you been provoking This Sect with your words, but you've also put on that disgusting facade of camaraderie. What's really going on?"
The goateed elder's expression remained unchanged, but his pupils slightly contracted as he spoke in a chilling tone, "You dare to sow discord? You're courting death..."
"Enough already! I can't be bothered to ask for details," Ye Kai interrupted impatiently with a wave of his hand. "Remove the barrier immediately, and This Sect will naturally release your True Lord. If you all think you've got This Sect cornered, don't blame us for being ruthless—one or two of you might just find yourselves entering the Ninth Underworld!"
"You!!!"
The goateed elder's face darkened instantly, as if it could drip water. Yet he dared not speak further because the other True Lords, especially Yunliang Zhenjun, had already cast him a meaningful glance—a subtle warning.
Among the True Lords within the Great Wilderness Sword Sect, aside from two who had yet to emerge from seclusion, Yunliang Zhenjun was the most powerful. While he was not afraid, he also did not want to stir up more trouble.
He could only curse inwardly, wishing that Gongyang Zhenjun would be crushed by Ye Kai at any moment.
Ye Kai noticed the lingering resentment among the crowd, and some individuals even flickered their eyes with intent, immediately clenching their palms as if to crush the Confining Lotus in their hands. With a steady voice, he declared, "You have ten more breaths. If there is no response, we will fight to the death!"
"You!!!"
Yunliang Zhenjun frowned, his face contorted with anger. A powerful sword aura surged upward into the clouds.
Boom!!!
A terrifying golden light erupted once more, shaking the surroundings. Ye Kai felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and his eyes narrowed as his entire being surged with violent energy. If these people truly disregarded Gongyang Zhenjun's safety, he would have no choice but to reveal his trump card.
Crack! Crack!!!
His right palm glowed with a hazy Halo, and the Confining Lotus began to crack with visible fissures. With just a little more force, this Confining Lotus would completely shatter, and Gongyang Zhenjun, already severely injured and unable to recover in time, would undoubtedly meet his demise.
Bang!!!
Suddenly, Ye Kai unleashed Jade Mountain, a vast wave of power that instantly shattered the illusory Celestial Island above him as if it were a continent!
In an instant, Jade Mountain turned the tide of battle, shattering the cosmos and obliterating the Celestial Island's illusion before him. The golden light barrier trembled violently; where they collided, the void itself was annihilated, transforming into an unending torrent of chaos—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.
With the seal of the Celestial Mountain on the void broken, Ye Kai moved swiftly and transformed into a streak of light that dove into Jade Mountain before crashing out fiercely.
At that moment, an enraged roar echoed from the Celestial Island: "Ten Thousand Swords Refining the Realm, activate!!!"
In an explosive surge, countless beams of sword light measuring ten feet in length crisscrossed above the mountain. With a collective howl that stirred the air around them, this celestial mountain became even more formidable.
Each beam of sword light could easily cleave through a mountain peak; they scattered explosively yet coalesced into swirling rings that firmly anchored the void in place.
Meanwhile, the golden light surrounding them that imprisoned Thousands of Corpses erupted with layers of waves. Halos spun and flickered continuously, trapping Ye Kai without escape.
“Boom Boom Boom!”
With each successive impact, not only did the golden light become distorted, but the violent waves tore through the void, wreaking havoc with Earth, Water, Fire, Wind. Surprisingly, it remained unexpectedly resilient.
Ye Kai raised his eyebrows, and then he saw another illusory Celestial Island condensing above him, continuing to press down. Having lost the initiative, he could only brace himself for another counterattack.
After all, this was someone else's territory. Although this celestial mountain had not been completely Refined, the Light Screen it supported was astonishingly tough, causing him considerable frustration.
Moreover, he had a bad feeling; his own magical power was limited. Even with an endless supply of elixirs and the Life Pearl, his body would still tire.
Power has its limits, and so does the body; it could be completely exhausted.
Once that happened, the Celestial Island would inevitably suppress him again, and there would be no escape.
Although Ye Kai still had his Final trump card, he couldn't act recklessly. Just then, a furious voice suddenly echoed in the space: “You! If you hadn't forced my hand, Old Man would have already fully Refined this Celestial Island. You might as well stay here as my guest.”
As soon as the words fell, the elder who was Refining Celestial Mountain reappeared. He wore a Purple Gold Crown and elegant robes. With a casual wave of his hand, he tore through the void and appeared before Yunliang Zhenjun.
Perhaps still flustered from earlier and not paying close attention, he looked up at the Jade Mountain, and his expression immediately changed.
The avatar of Xuan Ye Dao Zun, now devoid of any discernible aura, exuded a terrifying presence that rivaled the full power of Jade Mountain. After a hearty laugh, he spoke: “Good, good! No wonder you dare to face my Great Wilderness Sword Sect alone; you possess a celestial mountain treasure.”
“However, if you have no other trump cards, then just stay!”
With that, he raised his right hand and swiped forward. Instantly, a massive rift over a hundred meters high split open in the void. The terrifying aura not only made Ye Kai's mouth twitch but also sent shivers down the spines of several Soul Manifestation Experts from Great Wilderness Sword Sect, including Yunliang Zhenjun, who all retreated in alarm.
With golden light barriers above and powerful figures surrounding him, Ye Kai felt trapped with nowhere to turn.
Yet he remained calm. Instead of panicking, he looked down at Xuan Ye Dao Zun and smiled slightly: “Though you have the advantage of terrain and numbers, it may still be too early to ensure victory by suppressing This Sect.”
"Know this, the Immortal Mountain has not truly been controlled by Refine, it is not omnipotent."
Xuan Ye Dao Zun felt a stir in his heart, calming himself before speaking, "The river of time and the great trends of the Dao cannot be obstructed by any individual. This Immortal Mountain is also a part of my Great Wilderness Sword Sect's rise to Radiance. Others cannot bask in it; they can only be utterly crushed into dust beneath the eternal Radiance."
"Hah!"
Ye Kai chuckled lightly, blinking as he spoke with a strange tone, "Old man, haven't you noticed anything unusual? You should know that this Radiance does not yet belong to your Great Wilderness Sword Sect!"
"Mm?"
"Damn!!!"
Xuan Ye Dao Zun Expression changed drastically, his face nearly twisting in fury as he shouted, "Insect-like beings, Old Man will ensure you are forever suppressed until your soul is scattered and reduced to ashes."
"Today, do not even think about leaving."
