……  The powerful purple divine lightning fell on the Xuan Yuan Mountain, but that was only the divine lightning at the side. The Xuan Yuan Mountain had the support of Ye Xiao’s martial true intent, so it would not be destroyed.

  The divine lightning at the center mercilessly fell on the Great Dragon’s body.

  Roar!

  The Great Dragon let out a heart-wrenching roar.

  At that moment, every part of its body was enduring the purple divine lightning from the outside to the inside.

  The divine lightning contained both the power of lightning and the power of rules. That power was not only testing the Great Dragon but also increasing its strength and increasing the power of rules in its body.

  If it could withstand it, it would undergo a transformation from the outside to the inside, becoming a Supreme Life’s Path Immortal Artifact.

  If it could not withstand it, then it would be finished.

  Not only would its soul scatter, but its entire body would also turn into ashes.

  He did not know why.

  At that time, a name that he remembered deeply from his previous life came to Ye Xiao’s mind.

  It was a woman that his companions were all very afraid of. Her name was Kelly, a poor girl who stood by the side of the street.

  She always had a smile on her face and cared for you with a warm tone. If you did not watch your feet, you would fall into her bottomless black hole and send everything you had into it, not leaving a single drop behind.

  Thunder and lightning struck down one after another, and the dragon let out one miserable cry after another.

  That also meant that the Heavenly Tribulation was continuously increasing its attributes.

  The dragon held on for a second, two seconds, three seconds…… Its body even began to emit traces of purple luster.

  However, it was still a little weak in the end. It could not withstand that power, and traces of cracks began to appear on its body.

  Ye Xiao frowned slightly and immediately used the True Lightning masterpiece technique.

  The True Lightning masterpiece technique controlled the purple divine lightning. That way, it could help the dragon reduce a lot of pain.

  As expected, with the True Lightning masterpiece technique, the side effects of the purple divine lightning falling on the Great Dragon were reduced.

  The Great Dragon took that opportunity to use the True Lightning masterpiece technique to quickly consume and absorb the power of laws within the purple divine lightning.

  Soon, the light on its body continued to flash and grow stronger.

  Finally, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Great Dragon finally succeeded in forging. The Lightning Tribulation gradually stopped, and a purple-gold light continuously emerged from the Great Dragon’s body, gradually spreading outwards, it also formed a nine-colored multi-colored light, and each layer had a special light.

  The Immortal Artifact was a great success!

  Ye Xiao felt the light spreading out from the Great Dragon’s body at that moment, and he was also extremely excited.

  Very strong!

  A feeling that could blow the heavens apart!

  Holding the thick and heavy Great Dragon, it was heavy and felt extremely safe.

  An Immortal Artifact! Combined with the immortal technique, it was estimated that even Supreme Eternals could be injured by him with a single strike.

  It was truly a weapon in hand.

  At the same time, the various Godly Emperors in the starry sky saw that the Lightning Tribulation had stopped and that there was already a peaceful aura coming from below. They could not help but become even more excited.

  “It’s done! It’s done! He really did it!”


  “An Immortal Artifact has appeared! No matter what, we have to think of a way to obtain this Immortal Artifact!”


  “At this time, I can only use my clan’s secret technique, the Astor Array-breaking Nail! To forcefully open this array.”


  “Astor Array-breaking Nail! It’s actually this kind of magic treasure. According to rumors, this is an ancestral item of the upper god clan. It was created by a Supreme Eternal. It can break all the arrays in the world.

  “There were only three!

  “Since ancient times, it has attacked twice in total. Each time, it can easily break the array.

  “The last time it was used was to break the seal that the Yanhuang Great World had set up at the border.

  “This is the last Astor Array-breaking Nail!

  “Isn’t it too much of a waste to use it here? If we attack higher-level god clans in the future, we can use this thing again.”


  The gaze of the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo was like a torch.

  “We can’t care about that anymore. We have already blasted the array for an incense stick’s worth of time, but we still haven’t been able to blast open this array.

  “If we drag this out for too long, when the other martial arts masters of this world come over to reinforce them, we will be in deep trouble.

  “To us, this is truly a big problem.”


  Everyone nodded.

  “This is the only way.”


  No matter how good the Astor Array-breaking Nail was, it was still an array-breaking supreme treasure. Other than breaking the array, it had no other use.

  How could it be compared to an Immortal Artifact?

  In the next moment, the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo took out a long and thick golden diamond-studded nail from his storage ring.

  That nail was really long and thick. The Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo could not even grab it with one hand.

  However, he could use his spiritual energy to support it and ensure the accuracy of the Astor Array-breaking Nail’s attack.

  “With the blood of my supreme god clan, activate the array-breaking supreme treasure left behind by the supreme ancestor, Astor Array-breaking Nail. With the supreme reputation of our ancestors, break the array in front of us. Open!”


  Following that, he let out a furious roar. In the next second, the Astor Array-breaking Nail turned into a golden light that was like a yellow dragon. With unstoppable momentum, it charged straight towards the array.

  Seeing that scene, the Godly Emperors and Godly Kings hiding behind the array could not help but become cautious. Their expressions changed drastically.

  One of the Godly Kings could not help but exclaim,

  “It’s over! It’s really over now. Something big is going to happen. This array is going to be broken.”


  Although Zheng Tianya also felt a little uneasy, he still smiled and comforted him,

  “There’s no need to be so exaggerated. Our Xuan Yuan god clan’s array has been specially reinforced.

  “Just now, they had so many Godly Emperors, but they spent an incense stick’s worth of time, but weren’t they still unable to break it open?

  “Now, this tiny nail is like breaking our array. Isn’t it a little wishful thinking?”


  Cold sweat began to flow down the forehead of that Godly King.

  “No! You don’t know the power of that nail. It’s a supreme treasure passed down from the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo in the Xuanhuang Great World. Back then, when they first invaded, I was at the scene. I saw with my own eyes that he used the Astor to break the array constructed by the Qilin clan!

  “According to legends, this nail was constructed by their supreme ancestor from ancient times. Their supreme ancestor was a Supreme Eternal!”


  Upon hearing that, Zheng Tianya’s head felt as though a huge bomb had been dropped on it.

  That tiny nail was actually so powerful?

  However, he could not help but say,

  “Even if this supreme treasure is so powerful, our Xuan Yuan god clan also has a Godly Emperor guarding it. Once the array is broken, they won’t be able to gain much advantage. Everyone, don’t panic.”


  The Godly Emperor spoke again,

  “You are mistaken again. This supreme treasure can only be controlled by the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo personally. In other words, the person who used it outside must be the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo. His strength is at the seventh level of the Godly Emperor realm.”


  Zheng Tianya’s footsteps shook as he felt that he nearly fell from the sky in shock.

  Was there a mistake?

  A seventh-level Godly Emperor!

  Was that level not a little too high?

  Could Ye Xiao still hold on?

  Boom!

  Just as he was thinking, the Astor Array-breaking Nail had already smashed onto the array.

  After a loud bang, a terrifying power erupted, and the surrounding stars paled in comparison to that ray of light.

  However, it did not produce that kind of intense explosion shockwave. Instead, it gathered all of its power into one point. In the end, it forcefully penetrated a large hole in the array that was strengthened by Ye Xiao’s law energy.

  “The array is open! Quick!”


  Seeing that scene, the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo and the others were extremely excited. They instantly turned into streams of light and charged over.

  Sensing the extremely powerful aura that came pouncing at them, everyone’s breathing froze.

  “Such powerful strength. Is this a seventh-level Godly Emperor?”


  “It’s not just the seventh-level Godly Emperor! There are many other Godly Emperors among them!”


  “Oh my God, we won’t die here today, right? If that’s the case, it would be a huge loss.”


  Some Godly Emperors were already on the verge of tears.

  One had to know that they had come there to thank the Xuan Yuan god clan. At the same time, they wanted to hug their thighs.

  If they died just like that, it would be a huge loss.

  However, the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo and company were not in the mood to kill those Godly Emperors.

  Their current goal was only that Immortal Artifact!

  The Immortal Artifact was the priority!

  As long as they obtained that Immortal Artifact, they would not hesitate to spare the lives of those Godly Emperors.

  The Immortal Artifact!

  How precious was that?

  There were probably not even one or two in the entire world.

  Its value was even greater than killing a bunch of early-stage Godly Emperors.

  No, it could even be said that its strength alone was equivalent to 1 percent of all the resources in the entire Yanhuang Great World.

  Do not underestimate this 1 percent. This was 1 percent of all the resources in the entire Yanhuang Great World!

  It was an item that had a price but no market.

  Resources could be obtained through other means, but Immortal Artifacts were things that could not be obtained.

  It was the only one.

  The Godly Emperors were dumbstruck.

  Although the other party did not charge at them directly, ignoring them.

  However, that did not mean that their suppression would not affect them.

  That suppression made one feel as if they were standing at the foot of a mountain alone, feeling the immense threat of that massive object.

  An endless pressure was ruthlessly suppressed above the entire Xuan Yuan god clan.

  Due to it heading straight for the Xuan Yuan Mountain, Xia Xinyi even knelt on the ground, unable to climb up.

  The Godly Emperor-level power was suppressing her to the point that she could not breathe.

  Just as she was feeling despair and fear, the power that was suppressing her suddenly vanished without a trace.

  Following that, she saw Ye Xiao holding a weapon that was emitting nine-colored light as he walked out step by step.

  “Grand Elder, there are Godly Emperors invading.”


  Chapter 556 - A Cold Sword Light Slashed Through the Nine Heavens, and the Seventh-Level Godly Emperor Turned Into Smoke……

  “I got it.”


  Ye Xiao spat out a few words indifferently. His gaze was fixed on the several rays of light that were descending in the sky.

  There were seventh-level Godly Emperors, sixth-level Godly Emperors, and other fifth and fourth-level Godly Emperors.

  At the same time, the Godly Emperors in the cage within the Xuan Yuan Mountain seemed to have sensed something as they immediately shouted,

  “It’s the Godly Emperors! This feeling is that of our Xuanhuang Great World’s Godly Emperors! It’s absolutely right.”


  “Hahaha…… I didn’t expect that they would really come. This way, we won’t die next time! Hahaha……”


  “I can sense that there’s still a seventh-level Godly Emperor inside! A seventh-level Godly Emperor will definitely be able to defeat that brat.”


  The Godly Emperor inside the cage was excited. Outside the cage, facing the arrival of many Godly Emperors, Ye Xiao finally began to move.

  Facing the increasing pressure, he took a step forward and pulled Xia Xinyi behind him. Then, he raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

  That sword attack was augmented by the Great Way of Life immortal technique and Immortal Artifact. Ye Xiao did not retain all the spiritual energy in his body at all. He did not leave any trump cards for himself.

  That was because he believed that that sword attack of his had enough power to settle everything.

  Even if his cultivation was only at the fifth-level Godly Emperor realm, even if the other party’s cultivation was at the seventh-level Godly Emperor realm, he was still not afraid.

  That sword strike had gathered all of his strength.

  With the augmentation of Immortal Artifact and immortal techniques, it would be raised to its peak state.

  A cold beam of light shot up into the sky. With an unstoppable momentum, it crushed everything in its path.

  In front of it, none of them could dodge that move. They were all crushed by that sword strike.

  The expression of the Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo who was charging down suddenly changed.

  His cultivation base was the strongest, so his perception was also the strongest.

  He immediately sensed that that sword strike was unusual.

  “Retreat! Quickly retreat!”


  He suddenly let out a scream.

  However, before he could turn around, the Godly Emperor behind him had already collided with him.

  Boom, Boom, Boom……

  Their speed was too fast. In order to plunder the Immortal Artifact, no one had thought of stopping. They all increased their speed to the maximum.

  It was also because of that wrong decision that they did not even have the chance to dodge before they directly collided with the sword.

  “No!”


  The Supreme Grand Elder Tai Luo could not help but let out a sorrowful cry.

  However, it was already too late. The power of that sword far exceeded his imagination. It instantly penetrated through his defenses and completely destroyed his entire body’s mechanism. He did not even have the chance to react.

  The Godly Emperors behind him were similarly enveloped by that sword light. All of their bodily functions were destroyed.

  However, the sword light did not stop because of it. Instead, it soared and charged straight at the bull, slashing a distance of more than 10,000 miles.

  Along the way, there was not a single living being that survived.

  Even the star islands and meteorites were all destroyed into dust because of that reason.

  Even the thunderclouds in the nine heavens that had yet to dissipate had a large hole transmitted out.

  A beam of strong light descended and shone straight on the entire Xuan Yuan Mountain.

  The sword beam lasted for less than three seconds. However, all the damage that was inflicted during these three seconds caused the entire world to tremble.

  There was a deathly stillness.

  All the Godly Emperors were stunned on the spot. Their minds were filled with questions.

  What had just happened?

  Before they could react, all the Godly Emperors were killed by a sword beam.

  What was going on?

  There was a seventh-level Godly Emperor!

  In the end, they could not even withstand that move.

  How powerful must the Xuan Yuan god clan have?

  Zheng Tianya was the same as everyone else. He was also given a huge fright.

  He did not expect Ye Xiao to become so powerful in the blink of an eye.

  A seventh-level Godly Emperor had been instantly killed by him with a sword.

  He had thought that Ye Xiao would not encounter a difficult problem that time around.

  Knowing he was fine, he patted his chest and looked extremely proud.

  “Everyone, did you see that? What did I tell you? As long as you come to our Xuan Yuan god clan’s divine territory, you don’t have to worry about a thing. This place will definitely be safe enough.”


  The other Godly Emperors and Godly Kings immediately nodded like old hens pecking at rice.

  That sword strike had really scared them to the point of peeing.

  A seventh-level Godly Emperor was already so scared that they could not even stand properly. In the end, they did not expect that the Xuan Yuan god clan had someone even more ruthless, killing the other party instantly with a sword strike.

  At that moment, everyone seemed to finally understand why so many martial arts masters had suddenly appeared in the Xuan Yuan god clan and beaten the others into a sorry state.

  It was definitely because of that existence’s support from behind.

  The four great god clans had been beaten to a state of introspection. It was most likely related to that existence.

  It looked like the Xuan Yuan god clan was really going to rise up!

  They had to curry favor with their god clan!

  If they did so in advance, they would have nothing to worry about in the future.

  In addition, when they returned, they had to tell their clansmen not to casually provoke the Xuan Yuan god clan.

  At that point, the Xuan Yuan god clan was no longer on the same level as them. They were no longer the god clan that was ranked 19th in the starry sky, but an existence that was already on par with the top ten.

  As for Ye Xiao, he could not help but raise his brows slightly after slashing that sword.

  “I’m a little regretful that I didn’t display my best level.”


  “.……”


  She could no longer feel the power of that sword earlier because that sword had already completely exceeded her imagination.

  In other words, her entire body was within the power of that sword. It was like you were deep within Mount Tai, unable to see its full extent.

  Even so, she knew that that sword had killed several Godly Emperors!

  It was a single sword that killed all of them!

  How terrifying was that strength?

  However, Ye Xiao said that he did not display his best level.

  Just what level was that fellow’s best level?

  Furthermore, Ye Xiao was actually not lying.

  He really did not display it well.

  Of course, the main reason was not his body, but the Great Dragon’s body.

  That was because the Great Dragon had made a mistake while resisting the Lightning Tribulation, causing some injuries to his body. Due to the injuries, the Great Dragon’s strength could not reach its peak.

  He still had to think of a way to complete the restoration of the Great Dragon.

  However, he did not have any knowledge in that aspect.

  Although he had always stayed in the library, it was the library of the Nine Provinces. Even later on, when the few great families moved some books over, it still did not work.

  It looked like he still had to go to the Xuan Yuan god clan’s martial arts library to take a look.

  “Grand Elder, there are many Godly Emperors from other god clans here today. Do you want to go and meet them?”


  Ye Xiao shook his head.

  “There’s no need. I’m not interested in that kind of thing. The two of you can handle it.”


  Following that, Ye Xiao used the Space-time immortal technique and instantly disappeared from where he was.

  When he reappeared, he had already appeared in the Xuan Yuan god clan’s martial arts library.

  The Xuan Yuan god clan had many martial arts libraries. They were distributed in every star field in the divine territory.

  The few great clans all had the highest-level martial arts libraries. However, apart from that, there was also a martial arts library with the largest base. It belonged to the entire Xuan Yuan god clan.

  Ye Xiao had naturally come to this largest martial arts library.

  When he arrived at this library, he swept it with his spiritual sense and unexpectedly discovered that the Venerable Black Tortoise was actually working as a librarian here.

  “Senior Black Tortoise…… Why is he working as a librarian here?”


  With a trace of doubt, Ye Xiao instantly moved to Black Tortoise’s side. Black Tortoise was reading a book with a serious expression on his face. Beside him was a large pile of cultivation techniques. Basically, there were all kinds of cultivation techniques.

  That made Ye Xiao unable to help but be stunned. Why did Senior Black Tortoise suddenly start reading so many books?

  His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  Could it be that Senior Black Tortoise had also awakened the same attributes as the Golden Book?

  However, after scanning for a moment, he realized that the Venerable Black Tortoise was exactly the same as before and did not have any special changes.

  What on Earth was going on?

  “Senior Black Tortoise.”


  He could not help but call out. The Venerable Black Tortoise suddenly raised his head and saw that it was Ye Xiao. He immediately said excitedly,

  “It’s you, Ye Xiao! Quick, take a seat. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I’ll pour you a cup of tea.”


  Ye Xiao waved his hand.

  “Senior is too polite. Speaking of which, why are you acting as a librarian here? Didn’t the Xuan Yuan god clan arrange a good training ground for you?”


  The Venerable Black Tortoise shook his head.

  “That’s not it. It was me who wanted to come over and become a librarian.

  “It’s really too slow for me to cultivate by myself. There’s not much meaning in cultivating bitterly all the time.

  “Later on, I thought that you were the one who stood out as a librarian. I’m like you, reading here every day. Perhaps I’ll have the chance to be like you, and one day, when I’m enlightened, I’ll be able to soar.”


  “.……”


  “But then again, I’ve been reading books for a very long time. Why haven’t I found the treasures in the books like you?

  “No matter how I look at it, I feel that everything is the same. I haven’t found anything special at all.

  “Can you give me some inspiration?”


  That……

  The corner of Ye Xiao’s mouth could not help but twitch violently.

  He could not possibly open his mouth and tell the Venerable Black Tortoise that he had a Golden Book divine soul in his body that could be used to synthesize a method, right?

  That was his greatest secret.

  He coughed lightly and immediately opened his mouth to explain,

  “It’s like this. You have to persevere in reading. Don’t always think of shortcuts that you can take. After reading too much, you will naturally discover the profoundness within.

  “Of course, this process is very difficult and lonely. I feel that it’s better to cultivate properly.”


  The Venerable Black Tortoise was silent for a moment and said with a serious expression,

  “No! You’ve already achieved so much now. This means that reading is still much better than cultivating. I want to learn from you. If you can endure loneliness, read properly and strive to become as strong as you as soon as possible!”


  Looking at the Venerable Xuanwu’s determined look, Ye Xiao was speechless.

  What are you not good at? If you learn from me, would that not be a dead end?
