Chapter 515: Chapter 510: Xuanguang Semi-Saint

The appearance of the elder in black caused a moment of stunned silence in the grand hall, and the crowd gazed in some surprise at this figure who had barged straight in.

"Is that you, Xuan Guang Semi-Saint?"

Upon seeing the elder in black, Yun Xiao Saint’s pupils contracted slightly, and then he suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Xuan Guang Semi-Saint?"

Ye Xuan, upon hearing this name, was also taken aback. At this time, Xue Lingzi’s expression turned grave, "So, it’s him."

"What’s wrong, do you know this person?"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but turn his head to ask. This person was indeed a genuine Semi-Saint Strong Person, a powerful presence with one foot already stepping into the Martial Saint level.

"I don’t know him personally, I’ve only heard the Sect Master mention him. This Xuan Guang Semi-Saint is one of the top powerhouses of the Yunlan Domain. However, he usually moves unpredictably and doesn’t deal with any Sects. But there’s one thing for sure, Xuan Guang Semi-Saint is no benign figure; rumors say he knows the location of the Evil Domain within the Yunlan Domain and has connections with the inhabitants there," Xue Lingzi said.

"Associating with people from the Evil Domain? Wouldn’t that make him quite bluntly, a traitor to the Human Clan?"

Next to him, Fei Yue’s pretty face changed as she spoke.

"You could say that, but no one has evidence, and even if they did, they couldn’t do much about him. At his level, only a true Martial Saint Strong Person would stand a chance of subduing him," Xue Lingzi shook his head.

"He may not necessarily be a traitor; I think I can guess something here."

A contemplative look appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. As a Semi-Saint, being a traitor of the Human Clan seemed unlikely for Xuan Guang Semi-Saint given his high Cultivation Level; he probably didn’t need to do that.

In fact, it was only on the Spirit Martial Continent that racial differences were viewed so stringently. In the Cultivation planes that Ye Xuan had seen, most actually had no such racial distinctions. This was even more so in the Heavenly Realm, where each force was comprised of powerful individuals from all major clans.

After all, everyone only pursued Cultivation. On the Spirit Martial Continent, those who first achieved the realm of Martial Emperor were regarded as the supreme beings of the continent. Among the Alien Clans, there were some unique cultivation resources that greatly assisted martial artists, like this piece of Evil Dragon Jade, which was of great benefit to any clan’s powerhouses for advancing their Cultivation.

According to what Ye Xuan knew, the territories of the Alien Clans contained many treasures that could enhance Cultivation; such items were hard to find in the outside world.

"Doesn’t this worsen our situation?"

Ouyang Tie’s expression turned ugly; dealing with just these undead dragon bones was troublesome enough, and now with the addition of this Xuan Guang Semi-Saint, whose allegiance was unclear, the situation was undoubtedly more dangerous.

"Not necessarily; we might even be able to take this opportunity to escape."

Ye Xuan didn’t believe that Xuan Guang Semi-Saint would waste his time attacking them. His primary target should be that piece of Evil Dragon Jade.

"So the Evil Dragon Jade might fall into his hands?"

It seemed that Fei Yue still harbored some desire for the Evil Dragon Jade.

"Fei Yue, junior sister! To come out with our lives at this point would be fortunate; the Evil Dragon Jade is not an artifact of good omen and not something we can meddle with."

Xue Lingzi shook his head; he too had harbored thoughts about the Evil Dragon Jade, but the power within the jade was truly frightening and not something they could control. Now, even their lives were at risk, and thinking about the Evil Dragon Jade was sheer folly.

"Evil Dragon Jade, who would have thought the Evil Dragon Clan would leave such a treasure here. That’s quite a windfall for this old man."

The Xuan Guang Semi-Saint’s eyes lit up upon seeing the Evil Dragon Jade. He then dashed forward, scattering the undead dragon bones in his path and quickly closing in on the position of the Evil Dragon Jade.

Boom!

The strength of Xuan Guang Semi-Saint was indeed formidable. With just one move, he sent the puppet holding the Evil Dragon Jade flying and reached out to grab the essential body of the jade.

However, the Evil Dragon Jade obviously would not surrender so easily. What Xuan Guang Semi-Saint caught was merely an afterimage, while the true body of the Evil Dragon Jade made use of the distraction to swiftly shift amid the dragon bones, disappearing in a flash.

"Little thing, where do you think you’re going?"

Xuan Guang Semi-Saint wore an expression of total mastery, confident in his ability to capture the Evil Dragon Jade, which was now premature in trying to resist him.

Yet at that moment, an astonishing fluctuation burst from the Evil Dragon Jade. Under its influence, all the undead dragon bones began to shake violently. Soon after, the bits of bone rapidly decayed and were absorbed at a stunning speed by the Evil Dragon Jade. In just a moment, a large dragon-shaped bone demon had formed, towering hundreds of feet tall and filling the entire hall. Its aura surged tremendously with the addition of the countless bones.

The Evil Dragon Jade transformed into the heart of this dragon-shaped bone demon, endlessly supplying a mighty power. In a short while, the bone demon’s strength grew increasingly formidable, eventually reaching a point that sent chills down one’s spine.

"Die!"

The bone demon raised its palm, holding a sharp bone blade in its right hand, and cleaved downward. The fearsome Qi Force seemed as if it would split even the ethereal space within the great hall.

Seeing this attack, even the face of the Semi-Saint Xuan Guang changed color. He hastily retreated, his hands quickly forming seals, and a surge of dark and domineering True Yuan emerged, forming into a black Yin-Yang pattern that protected a vast expanse of space.

Boom!

The energy emitted by the dragon-shaped bone demon was cold and malicious, and the Demonic Qi True Yuan unleashed by Semi-Saint Xuan Guang was oppressive and dark. As the two forces clashed, the turmoil they caused resembled the end of the world. Ye Xuan didn’t need to see with his eyes to feel that, right in the center of the great hall, a destructive storm was sweeping through—should one fail to leave in time, there was a very high chance of being utterly annihilated.

"Now’s our chance, go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, as the evil dragon bones began to crumble, Ye Xuan also spotted the location of the great hall’s exit and immediately burst forward at a breakneck pace.

Ye Xuan stepped onto the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword, which streaked through the air like a beam of light, instantly rushing out of the great hall. Whether it was the dragon-shaped bone demon or Semi-Saint Xuan Guang, both were powerful enough to easily kill everyone there. Any delay could cost Ye Xuan his life.

A layer of Dragon Scales spread across the surface of Ye Xuan’s body, stabilizing his form against the shockwaves.

Xue Lingzi, Fei Yue, and others followed tightly behind, rushing out of the great hall at full speed.

"We’re almost to the exit."

Ye Xuan’s group was actually very close to the great hall’s exit. It was only because their way was previously blocked by the evil dragon corpses that they had been unable to advance. Now that all the evil dragon corpses had been absorbed by the bone demon, they could easily escape with just a short distance to cover.

But just then, a wave of destructive energy suddenly erupted from behind. Ye Xuan glanced back to see a peculiar blue ring of fire igniting around the bone demon. It was this blue ring of fire that exploded forth, causing an extremely terrifying tide that was now crazily sweeping in all directions of the great hall.

In their field of vision, individuals like Yun Xiao Saint and others were also seen panic-stricken, frantically fleeing for their lives.

"Not good."

Ye Xuan’s expression was as grave as water. The great hall was guarded by prohibitions. If they could escape the confines of the hall, they would likely remain unscathed. However, they had not yet left, and if that wave of destruction hit them, survival would be slim.

Under the pressure of the crisis, not only Ye Xuan, but Xue Lingzi, Fei Yue, and others also tapped into their body’s potential, making a final sprint to escape the great hall’s bounds.

Ahhh!

Many who were too late to leave the great hall were swallowed by the blue tide, letting out high-pitched screams of agony, only to be completely obliterated within the tide, with not even their bones or souls spared.

"Terrifying!"

Having escaped the great hall, Fei Yue, Leng Wusheng, and others revealed looks of someone who had survived a great disaster. They had just witnessed the tragic plight of those who had not made it. Thankfully they were closest to the door of the great hall, otherwise, even if Ye Xuan and Xue Lingzi had escaped, Leng Wusheng and Ouyang Tie might not have survived.

"Let’s go, this place is not suitable to stay for long."

Ye Xuan had no intention to linger. The commotion caused by the Evil Dragon Jade was too great and had already attracted a Semi-Saint like Xuan Guang. It could very well draw other strong people to the scene. With their current strength, they were no longer suited to stay in such a place.

To claim the Evil Dragon Jade, one must at least possess the strength of a Semi-Saint. Everyone had witnessed the event just now. Even for Semi-Saint Xuan Guang, it wasn’t certain he could procure the Evil Dragon Jade, not to mention the others.

What they needed to do now was to leave this place as quickly as possible and return to the Xuantian Sect. Staying here for even a minute longer was dangerous.

The wave of destruction had killed most of the people who had entered the great hall, but the strongest among them each had their own life-saving methods and had essentially all survived. Still, they were somewhat shaken; after all, the recent wave had nearly killed everyone, including the likes of Yun Xiao Saint and Lord Wind who had also nearly lost their lives.

The crowd quickly evacuated the place, and after an indeterminate amount of time, another figure swept out. This person, with tattered clothes, was none other than Semi-Saint Xuan Guang. At the moment, Xuan Guang looked even more disheveled than Ye Xuan and the others, with much weaker aura. There was a gash on his shoulder that looked raw and bloody, as if his entire arm had almost been chopped off.

"That Evil Dragon Jade actually contained the will of an ancient saint from the Evil Dragon Clan, damn it."

Semi-Saint Xuan Guang’s face was ashen. He clutched his injured arm, his expression filled with resentment as he swept away and disappeared from sight.

Whoosh!

Not long after Xuan Guang had left, a black shadow landed in front of the great hall. This black shadow was at least three meters tall, and as he lifted his sleeve, a dark claw extended from within and reached into the great hall. A pulling force was unleashed, and subsequently, a dazzling black light flashed out, firmly grasped in the shadow’s hand.

This black light was the Evil Dragon Jade itself. If Ye Xuan and Xue Lingzi and the others were here, they would have been incredibly astonished. The Evil Dragon Jade that had just been so wildly violent had now become so docile in the hands of this black shadow.
