Chapter 439: Chapter 436: Tyranny of the Ancestral Dragon

Boom!

The collision caused the sky to change color, and to the horrified gazes of onlookers, the putrid light column that had exploded in front of Ye Xuan quickly retracted, as it was forced back by the dark golden dragon at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No!"

As the putrid light column disintegrated inch by inch, the Corpse Demon possessed by the Bright and Dark Ming King roared out, unable to dodge, and was enveloped by the dark golden dragon.

Simultaneously, under the slightly horrified stares of the crowd, the Corpse Demon’s body burst apart, its Demonic Qi dissipating at an alarming rate. Its massive form rapidly crumbled and fell apart.

"I am unwilling!"

The voice of the Bright and Dark Ming King echoed through heaven and earth, but in the next moment, his body also completely collapsed, fading into the world around it.

The cataclysmic force gradually faded, and the Demonic Qi that filled mid-air swiftly vanished.

"The Bright and Dark Ming King has been defeated!"

Ling Jingtian, Murong Yun, and others were visibly shaken, and after being petrified for a moment, they burst into ecstasy upon seeing the Demonic Qi dissipate from the sky.

They could have never anticipated this outcome; Ye Xuan eradicated the Bright and Dark Ming King. Despite the latter unleashing terrifying combat strength that made people shudder, he still stood no chance in Ye Xuan’s hands.

"So everything Xuaner said was true."

Ling Jingtian and the others realized that Ling Qianxue was not joking around. Ye Xuan’s strength had indeed reached the point where he could annihilate a First Grade Martial Venerable in an instant.

Keep in mind that the Bright and Dark Ming King had definitely possessed the battle strength of a First Grade Martial Venerate, and he wasn’t just an ordinary one at that. Yet, he still lost to Ye Xuan, even being annihilated.

"Dad, you didn’t even believe your own daughter. Ye Xuan is the champion of the Four Directions Contest, and even the top experts on the Master List of the Chaotic Sea Domain have been defeated by him. The Ye Xuan of now is no longer that little disciple from the Heavenly Martial Hall," Ling Qianxue said with a glance at Ling Jingtian.

"I lacked insight."

Ling Jingtian had no words to reply; he indeed had underestimated Ye Xuan. But he couldn’t be blamed; Ye Xuan’s progress was simply staggering and hard to believe unless witnessed firsthand.

Regardless, the major calamity of the Tiannan Region had thus been averted.

The minions of the Black Demon Sect also scattered like birds and beasts, retreating immediately after the Bright and Dark Ming King was slain.

The situation quickly turned from peril to safety, accompanied by a tsunami of cheers from the plaza. The previously oppressive atmosphere completely dispersed.

"Ye Xuan, you’ve saved the entire Sect."

Ling Jingtian, Murong Yun, and the others looked at Ye Xuan with faces full of gratitude, their excitement beyond words.

"It’s only right. After all, I am affiliated with the Heavenly Martial Hall. It was my duty to help when the Sect faced trouble," Ye Xuan shook his head. In truth, it was he who hadn’t handled the tail-end of the situation properly, leading to this catastrophe.

"By the way, how is the Ye family doing now? And the Nangong family?"

Ye Xuan suddenly thought of the Ye family. With the Tiannan Region in such chaos, swept by the calamity of the Black Demon Sect, he hoped nothing had happened to them.

"Don’t worry, the people of the Ye family are safe. I brought them to the Heavenly Martial Hall early. The people from the Xia family and Nangong family came together with them. I’ll take you to see them later."

Murong Yun waved his hand, signaling Ye Xuan to be at ease.

"That’s good."

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to the Ye family, he would have been filled with regret.

"You’ve all come a long way and must be tired. Rest well for now."

Having just been through a major battle, Ling Jingtian also needed to clean up the aftermath.

Nodding, Ye Xuan clasped his fists towards Ling Jingtian and then left the plaza with Ling Qianxue.

...

"Xuaner, are you saying you’ve been selected by the Sect Envoys to go to the Spirit Martial Continent?"

Several figures appeared in the pavilion of the courtyard. It was the Ye family members, with Ye Tianxiong among them.

"Yes, I’ve already agreed with Elder Jin that we will set out in a month. By my estimate, we’ve got about twenty days left," Ye Xuan nodded. Elder Jin was currently waiting for him in the Chaotic Sea Domain, and when the time came, he would follow to the Spirit Martial Continent.

"Spirit Martial Continent is the center of this world and bound to be extremely dangerous. When you get there, you must be extra careful," Ye Tianxiong said with some emotion. He had been deeply moved when Ye Xuan went to the Chaotic Sea Domain before, and now the place Ye Xuan was about to go was even more remote and high-level—the Spirit Martial Continent, a place that almost only existed in the imagination.

"I know."

Ye Xuan nodded. The Spirit Martial Continent might indeed be a land of extreme danger for ordinary people, but he had spent so much time in the Heavenly Realm in his past life that he really wasn’t worried about the Spirit Martial Continent.

"Ye Xuan, to think that in just a little over two years since we last saw you, you have already become powerful enough to rival the Martial Venerate Experts of legend. Our Ye family is truly fortunate to have a genius like you. It seems that the vengeance for your father can finally be avenged," another person, Ye Zhan, Ye Xuan’s fourth uncle, said with a smile on his face.

"The vengeance has already been avenged."

Ye Xuan shook his head, then his eyes became resolute, "The one who plotted to destroy the Ye family was the Demon Dragon Venerable of Sky Demon Mountain, and he is already dead."

"Dead?"

Ye Tianxiong and others were all taken aback and then looked at each other in astonishment. In their exchanged glances, there was unmistakably a trace of ecstatic joy. The Demon Dragon Venerable sounded like a Demon Venerable. Such beings were beyond the Ye family’s reach for revenge without Ye Xuan.

"Good! How gratifying! Come, Ye Xuan, the whole family is here today, let’s drink to the point of no return," exclaimed Ye Zhan, lifting his cup with excitement.

"Alright, to the point of no return!"

Hearing that Ye Xuan had exterminated the Demon Dragon Venerable, the archfiend who had almost led their Ye family to ruin, everyone felt immensely satisfied. For a while, many members of the Ye family raised their cups and drank together.

Ye Xuan also raised his cup. It was rare to gather with his family like this; now that he was leaving, it was uncertain when he would be able to return.

With that thought, Ye Xuan lifted his cup and drained the liquor in one gulp.

Everyone drank merrily, and Ye Xuan began to share some interesting stories from the Chaotic Sea Domain, captivating the Ye family members with laughter swirling constantly in the courtyard, long into the night.

...

Ye Xuan stayed in the Heavenly Martial Hall for some time. After advancing to Sixth Grade Martial Sect, he needed some time to consolidate his progress and also stayed to guide the younger generation of the Ye family and Heavenly Martial Hall.

Now, he was like a legendary figure in the eyes of the young generation in the Heavenly Martial Hall and the Ye family. Previously, the Bright and Dark Ming King had caused havoc, mercilessly slaughtering and destroying countless cities, families, and even sects, plunging the Tiannan Region into darkness and panic. However, Ye Xuan’s arrival and his defeat of the Bright and Dark Ming King had lifted the crisis from Tiannan Region.

Ye Xuan had turned the tide of disaster, effectively becoming everyone’s savior. Moreover, the stories Ye Xuan shared at the Ye family’s banquet a few days ago quickly spread among the sect, and his exploits in the Chaotic Sea Domain stood unrivaled. Young people all share something in common—they especially admire peers who are slightly older and stronger than themselves. Since Ye Xuan’s deeds were legendary, he easily became the object of these disciples’ admiration.

In the back garden.

Ye Xuan was instructing two younger family members in martial arts while pondering over his own martial arts routines.

In swordsmanship, he was mainly relying on Dual Sword Flow techniques. A single-handed sword would not significantly augment his power until he cultivated higher-level swordsmanship. Currently, Ye Xuan’s main focus was on mastering the final two moves of the Dragon Essence Palm.

Heavenly Dragon’s Tail Sweep and Ancestral Dragon’s Torture.

These two moves were the most potent of the Dragon Essence Palm, and as Ye Xuan’s cultivation had improved, he had quickly mastered these palm skills.

Moreover, with the essence of the Dragon Essence Palm combined with Ye Xuan’s Quasi-Saint grade Demon Dragon Bloodline, the power he could unleash was doubled, as if a True Dragon descended upon the world. The presence of his martial skills alone was enough to strike terror into people’s hearts.

Half a month flashed by, and it was already time for Ye Xuan to depart.

Before leaving, Ye Xuan left a considerable amount of pills and resources for the Ye family and Heavenly Martial Hall, chiefly four million Xuanyuan Pills, with both forces receiving half. Xuanyuan Pills weren’t much of use to Ye Xuan now, but they were still significantly beneficial for the experts of the Ye family and Heavenly Martial Hall.

After all, Xuanyuan Pills might be common in the Chaotic Sea Domain but were far from ordinary in the Tiannan Region.

In addition to Xuanyuan Pills, Ye Xuan also left other pills and resources, along with two Supreme Grade secret manuals, to serve as trump cards for both forces.

As for the Flood Dragon, Ye Xuan allowed it to leave on its own after ten years if it desired. He also bestowed resources, allowing the Flood Dragon to continue to stay in the Tiannan Region as the guardian Demon Beast of the Ye family. During the debacle with the Black Demon Sect, the Flood Dragon had made significant contributions to protecting the Ye family.

After all this, Ye Xuan bid farewell to everyone and, accompanied by Ling Qianxue and Nangong Yao, embarked on the return journey to the Chaotic Sea Domain.

"Spirit Martial Continent, what a legendary place. Who knows how much they will have grown by the time they return," Ling Jingtian couldn’t help but feel emotional as he watched the three ride away on a flying puppet.

"Their growth, I suppose we can no longer imagine, right? When that day comes, it will surely be like the return of a king. I just wonder when that will be," murmured Murong Yun, equally filled with wonder.

"It won’t be long now, Ye Xuan said after he gets a firm foothold in Spirit Martial Continent, he’ll consider relocating both the Heavenly Martial Hall and the Ye family there," Ye Tianxiong suddenly spoke up, his eyes gleaming.

"Oh? He actually has that idea?"

Ling Jingtian, Murong Yun, and others exchanged looks, their faces showing barely concealed excitement. Spirit Martial Continent was the holy land of martial arts; to say they didn’t want to go there would be a lie.

It all depended on whether Ye Xuan could make that day come.
