The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

At this moment, the stone hall was in a mess. Although the Cangxie Supreme had completely destroyed the two puppets, he had also consumed a great deal of energy. His already sickly and effeminate face looked even paler.

"Damn it..."

Cangxie Supreme took a breath, his gaze sweeping over the remains of the puppets, his eyes dark and gloomy.

Such supreme-level puppets were not uncommon in ancient times, and there were various methods to activate them, so it was not impossible to subdue them.

The puppets within this spiritual treasure are all controlled by a wisp of spiritual consciousness, serving only as guardians. Anyone who dares to try to take the treasures from this stone palace will be attacked by them, and the fight will not end in death.

"Anything that can be protected by a supreme puppet must be extraordinary. We should not linger here and must act quickly."

Cangxie Supreme calmed his somewhat disordered spiritual energy, his gaze falling on the three jade boxes, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

However, just as the Supreme Cangxie was about to step forward to collect the jade box, a black figure swiftly swept in from outside the hall and blocked the Supreme Cangxie's path.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Supreme Cangxie's pupils contracted, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"You've gone to great lengths, so I'll take care of collecting the treasures inside this stone hall on your behalf."

Ye Fengqing wore a faint smile as he met Cangxie Supreme's gaze.

If he had been here just now, he would have inevitably joined the melee and lost a lot of strength, which is far better than sitting back and reaping the benefits now.

"Kid, you're courting death!"

Cangxie Supreme's face was ashen, and killing intent surged in his eyes.

He had used many methods to defeat the four supreme beings and destroy the two guardian puppets. Now that his spiritual power was weak, this brat came to take advantage of his misfortune. He was truly despicable.

However, even with his weakened spiritual power, he was still not someone a first-grade supreme being could contend with.

"You're the only one who will die."

Ye Feng's expression remained calm, but a sharp glint flashed in his deep black eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng raised his right hand, his palm radiating light, and an ancient longsword appeared out of thin air.

The sword is long and slender, with crimson flames swirling around its edges. Its interior is a deep, dark gold color, and fine, mysterious patterns flow across its surface, radiating a powerful and intense spiritual energy.

As Ye Feng took out the Blazing Sword, the temperature in the world rose significantly in a short moment.

"This is...a divine...artifact...!"

Cangxie Supreme's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice stammered, and an undisguised greed flashed in his eyes.

Divine artifacts are divided into low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade. Even a low-grade divine artifact contains thousands of drops of supreme spiritual liquid, enough to tempt any supreme expert.

He had been a second-grade supreme being for many years, yet he didn't possess a single true divine artifact, only quasi-divine artifacts. And this mere first-grade supreme being kid in front of him actually possessed such a treasure.

"No wonder you dared to take advantage of me; it turns out you're relying on a divine artifact."

Suppressing his greed, the Supreme Cangxie revealed a cold smile on his effeminate face.

Artifacts can indeed greatly enhance the combat power of supreme experts, but in the face of absolute differences in realm, such enhancement will be quite limited.

"Do you really think that a single divine artifact can bridge the gap in strength between us?"

"Today, I not only want the treasures of this stone palace, but also the divine artifact in your hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual power around the Supreme Cangxie surged suddenly, and a dark blue light emanated from his body. The huge, ice-blue phantom, hundreds of feet tall, reappeared.

Oceanic Dharmakaya!

Although the Cangxie Supreme had previously exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy in the battle with four black-robed Supremes and two Supreme puppets, his aura was still terrifying after activating the Supreme Dharma, far surpassing that of a First-Rank Supreme.

"The Spirit Treasury is dangerous; delay could lead to unforeseen changes. We must act swiftly and decisively."

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed, but he showed no intention of backing down.

Since he dared to make a move at this time and become the one who reaps the benefits, he must have his own confidence.

Judging from the surface alone, one cannot discern the true power of the Blazing Fire Sword. He believed that Supreme Cangxie would soon regret his actions.

"Nine Heavens Blazing Fire!"

Ye Feng let out a low shout, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the Li Huo Sword.

In an instant, the Blazing Fire Sword trembled violently, and the dark golden patterns on its blade suddenly lit up, with crimson flames burning fiercely. A wave of intense heat emanated from the Blazing Fire Sword.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be in a giant furnace.

hum!

Immediately afterwards, a sword cry resounded, and crimson flames surged forth from the Blazing Fire Sword, turning from red to gold, and then from gold to dark. In a daze, it condensed into a massive dark gold flame sword thousands of feet long in front of Ye Feng.

The giant sword swept across the sky, and the surrounding space was distorted by the terrifying heat, with fine spatial cracks spreading out.

"How is this possible..."

"What grade of artifact is this? How can it possess such power? And who exactly is this kid...?"

Cangxie Supreme's pupils shrank sharply, his face turned deathly pale, and the cold smile on his lips froze as a sense of horror instantly overwhelmed him.

Cangxie Supreme's pupils shrank sharply, his face turned deathly pale, and the cold smile on his lips froze as a sense of horror instantly overwhelmed him.

"go!"

Just as the Supreme Cangxie faltered, terrified by the terrifying power of the Li Huo Sword, Ye Feng, with a cold expression, swiftly and decisively brought down the Li Huo Sword.

After he repaired the Blazing Fire Sword with the Supreme Spirit Liquid, it had barely regained some of its power.

He could use some of his methods. The Nine Heavens Blazing Fire was a divine power inherent in the Blazing Fire Sword, which was why he was very certain that the Blazing Fire Sword was ranked as a sacred artifact.

Unfortunately, his strength is currently very weak, and he can only use a trace of the power of the Blazing Fire Sword. Even this trace of power is enough to crush a first or second-grade Supreme Being.

boom!

The giant sword of flames, thousands of feet long, moved in response, carrying the force to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and crashed down towards the supreme avatar of the Cangxie Supreme.

"Shield of the Sea!"

Cangxie Supreme's face was deathly pale, but he dared not sit idly by and wait for death. He exerted all his strength to activate his Supreme Dharma Body, formed a hand seal, and a dark blue spiritual energy ice shield condensed in front of him.

Above the ice shield, spiritual energy swirled, and a chill permeated the air, yet it paled in comparison to the scorching heat that filled the heavens and earth.

boom!

The next instant, the dark gold flame greatsword and the azure ice shield collided with a deafening roar.

A deafening roar erupted from the sky, and a violent surge of spiritual energy swept outwards, causing the entire valley to collapse, with rocks flying everywhere and dust billowing in the air.

Click!

It lasted only three breaths before fine cracks appeared on the azure ice shield, and then it shattered with a crash.

The flaming giant sword, its momentum undiminished, slammed fiercely into the Sea Sea Dharma Body of the Cangxie Supreme.

"ah!"

A piercing scream rang out, and the enormous, ice-blue phantom of the Cangxie Supreme trembled violently before collapsing with a deafening roar, dissipating into countless specks of spiritual energy.

puff!

The figure of the Supreme Cangxie was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward and crashing into the mountain wall. Blood gushed from his mouth, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme.

"Who...who exactly are you...?"

Cangxie Supreme struggled to raise his head and looked at Ye Feng, who was walking slowly towards him, his eyes filled with fear.

A first-grade supreme being who can control and activate a divine artifact of this rank must have an extraordinary background.

Ye Feng ignored Cangxie Supreme's questioning, his gaze calm, and he slightly raised the Li Huo Sword in his hand.

"Spare me...spare me!"

Cangxie Supreme felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly begged for mercy, his previous arrogance completely gone.

"All the treasures here belong to you; this is a token of my sincerity. Please spare my life!"

As he spoke, the Cangxie Supreme's hands trembled as he presented Ye Feng with the four mustard seed bracelets he had previously collected, along with his own mustard seed bracelet.

Ye Feng's gaze fell on the five mustard seed bracelets. He nodded slightly, raised his hand, and took them into his hand.

A wisp of spiritual energy probed into it, and after a cursory scan, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

Of these five mustard seed bracelets, apart from the collections of the four black-robed supreme beings, the collection of the Cangxie Supreme Being is even more abundant. There are a thousand drops of supreme spiritual liquid alone, plus other rare and precious materials, spiritual pills and artifacts, which is equivalent to two thousand.

"Foolish. Even if I kill you, all these things will still belong to me."

Ye Feng glanced at Cangxie Supreme and spoke calmly.

In his current predicament, he would not show any mercy or be soft-hearted. Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that the news of the Blazing Fire Sword in his possession had been exposed would bring him a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, this Cangxie Supreme is a member of the Haiming Sect of the Linhai Continent. If he is allowed to leave, he will likely be hunted down by others.

With the strength of a supreme being, one doesn't qualify to be a nice guy in this vast world.

"I am an elder of the Haiming Sect. If you kill me, the Haiming Sect will never let you go!"

The Supreme Cangxie's face turned deathly pale. He screamed and gently crushed a jade talisman in his palm, making his final struggle.

Seeing that the Supreme Cangxie was still making his little moves, Ye Feng curled up a mocking smile.

"If I don't kill you and them, they probably won't let me go even more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng gently swung the Li Huo Sword in his hand, and a dark golden sword light of spiritual energy swept past.

The pupils of the Supreme Cangxie suddenly dilated, and his physical body, along with the divine soul within the Supreme Sea, instantly shattered.

A second-rank supreme being thus completely perished.

Ye Feng watched this scene calmly, without much emotion in his heart.

In this vast world, strength reigns supreme. If he were weak today and had no trump cards, his fate would be even more tragic than that of the Cangxie Supreme.

"Let's leave this place first..."

Ye Feng's gaze swept around and landed on the three jade boxes in the dilapidated stone hall.

Although his previous battle with the Supreme Cangxie was intense, the three jade boxes remained intact, thanks to the protection of the spatial barrier on them.

Now, it's finally time for him to collect his spoils.

"call…"

Ye Feng moved swiftly, arriving before the spatial barrier. With a wave of his hand, he stored all three jade boxes into his mustard seed bracelet. Without hesitation, he lightly stepped into the void and disappeared into the valley.

"How dare you kill someone from my Haiming Sect!"

The first person was dressed in a dark blue robe, with a sinister face and a chilling aura emanating from him; he was clearly a third-rank supreme being.

Behind him followed two other figures, both of whom possessed strength between the first and second ranks.

"Junior Brother Cangxie!"

The leading Rank 3 Supreme's gaze fell on the mangled corpse on the mountain wall, and his face instantly turned ashen.

"He was killed with a single sword strike; even the divine soul within the Supreme Sea could not escape..."

One of them stepped forward and examined the area, his expression grave.

"To be able to kill Junior Brother Cang Xie in such a short time, the opponent's strength must be at least at the second-grade Supreme level, or even stronger."

"However, no matter who he is, anyone who dares to kill a member of my Haiming Sect will pay the price!"

……

In a hidden mountain cave.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged, calming the surging spiritual energy within his body.

Previously, when he used the Blazing Fire Sword to unleash the Nine Heavens Blazing Fire technique, although its power was immense, its consumption was also astonishing, almost draining nearly half of his spiritual power.

"With my current strength, forcibly activating this Blazing Sword is still somewhat of a strain..."

Ye Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression solemn.

With the help of this Blazing Sword, he was able to instantly kill a Second-Rank Supreme with the strength of a First-Rank Supreme. Such a feat, if it were to spread, would be enough to cause a sensation.

But the more this is the case, the more it demonstrates the extraordinary nature of the Fire Blade.

The Supreme Nine Ranks are separated by an insurmountable gap between each rank, making it extremely difficult to fight beyond one's rank.

Even the four black-robed supreme beings who joined forces earlier were no match for Cangxie Supreme, a second-rank supreme being, which shows how powerful he was.

"In the future, unless absolutely necessary, this Blazing Fire Sword should not be used lightly."

Ye Feng's gaze fell on the ancient longsword in his hand, and his mind became slightly heavy.

Sacred artifacts are treasures that even Earthly Sovereigns and Heavenly Sovereigns would covet, let alone ordinary Sovereigns.

Ye Feng took a deep breath, put the Li Huo Sword into the Mustard Seed Bracelet, calmed his mind, and then took out the three jade boxes.

The three jade boxes were crystal clear, with spiritual light flowing across them and mysterious patterns faintly appearing, clearly indicating that they were all sealed with seals and restrictions.

Ye Feng's gaze narrowed slightly as he probed with his spiritual energy, carefully unlocking the restriction on the first jade box.

The moment the jade box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating the senses.

Inside the box lay a greenish-red fruit the size of a baby's fist. Its skin was crystal clear, and one could vaguely see strands of golden veins flowing within, making it seem as if it were alive.

"What...is this...?"

A look of confusion flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, and he paused for a moment.

Despite having read extensively in various ancient texts, he still lacked understanding of this vast world and did not know what the spiritual object before him was.

And there's nothing we can do about it; the world is vast and boundless, and it's impossible to know and be omnipotent all at once.

However, based on the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from this blue-red fruit, he was able to determine that it was extraordinary.

"We could put it up for auction with the Chamber of Commerce and exchange it for Supreme Spiritual Liquid..."

Thinking to himself, Ye Feng closed the jade box again and put it back into the mustard seed bracelet.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng opened the second jade box.

Inside the box was an ancient scroll, from which faint fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated.

Ye Feng unrolled the scroll, his gaze sweeping over the words written on it, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Minor Divine Spell... God-Slaying Roar..."

This scroll contains a divine technique specifically targeting the spirit within the human body.

Once successfully cultivated, it can strike unexpectedly and directly damage the opponent's divine soul hidden within the Supreme Sea, making it virtually impossible to defend against.

"This kind of sonic attack technique can play an unexpected role at crucial moments."

A smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips as he put the scroll into his mustard seed bracelet.

Then, Ye Feng opened the third jade box.
