Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

In an instant, palm shadows flew, and countless palm prints soared into the sky, colliding wildly with Xu Pingsheng.

bang bang bang! ! !

The continuous, deafening roars shook the heavens, and each collision unleashed a monstrous storm of spiritual energy.

If it weren't for the sealing array, it would probably have shaken the entire Primordial Secret Realm.

Ye Linxiao grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, his shock being repeatedly heightened.

He originally thought that the difference in realm between the three Quasi-Emperor levels, coupled with his full-force attack, would be enough for him to easily crush and control Xu Pingsheng, and that he could defeat him in a short time.

But when they actually fought, he realized that the incredibly young old man in front of him had such a solid foundation and heaven-defying combat power that it completely overturned his understanding!

For ordinary cultivators, crossing a single realm makes a world of difference, but Xu Pingsheng can not only contend with him despite being above his level, but even subtly outmaneuver him in both offense and defense!

He unleashed his life's skills, his imperial divine powers emerging one after another, unleashing devastating attacks. Yet, each powerful assault was neutralized and directly countered by Xu Pingsheng's more concise and domineering Dao power.

Xu Pingsheng's moves seemed simple and unadorned, without any complicated or profound rules, but the power contained within was vast and domineering, repeatedly causing his blood to surge, his arms to go numb, and almost making it difficult for him to defend himself!

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ye Linxiao's forehead, his breathing became rapid, and the powerful quasi-emperor spiritual energy within his body was rapidly depleted during the intense battle.

He had lived for over seven thousand years, traversing countless battlefields, witnessing the rise and fall of numerous geniuses, and seeing countless heaven-defying prodigies, but he had never seen such a terrifying junior cultivator!

Despite possessing only the cultivation level of a Quasi-Emperor at the sixth level, he was able to unleash peak combat power comparable to that of a Quasi-Emperor at the ninth level, engaging in a fierce and protracted battle with a veteran powerhouse like him who stood at the pinnacle of the human race, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

Such unparalleled talent and profound knowledge are simply inconceivable and unprecedented!

Suddenly.

A soft sound pierced the battlefield, and Xu Pingsheng suddenly retreated, stopping in mid-air to confront Ye Linxiao across the distance.

He frowned slightly.

The Heavenly Emperor Scripture should be a cultivation technique that surpasses the level of Immortal Emperor, and is extremely profound. However, with his current cultivation level, he is not yet able to unleash its true supreme divine power, and can only exert a superficial combat strength, barely managing to fight on par with Ye Linxiao, who is at the peak of the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor.

really.

Those cultivators who stand at the pinnacle of humanity are all peerless geniuses who crushed all others in their respective eras. The higher their cultivation level, the more solid the barrier to their realm becomes, and the difficulty of fighting beyond their level increases exponentially.

He thought to himself that perhaps it was time to use the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

Although this technique is only a top-tier Emperor-grade cultivation method, it is extremely domineering and refined. With his current physical body and Dao power, he is able to fully activate it and unleash all its mysteries.

At this time.

Seeing that Xu Pingsheng had not moved for a long time, Ye Linxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If they keep fighting, his old body might just give out here.

He forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body, restrained the chaotic spiritual energy around him, adopted the demeanor of a seasoned expert, forced a gentle elder's smile, and spoke to ease the situation:

"Xu Pingsheng, I never imagined that you would possess such heaven-defying combat power at such a young age. You are truly a great fortune for our human race!!"

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

"I must admit, you've earned the right to sit at the same table as me, hehe~~"

Ye Linxiao forced a smile. "How about this? In order not to deplete the strength of the human race, let's call a truce. I won't wait in line for Meng Luoli and the others; I'll give them all to you. I only want the imperial weapon and cultivation technique that Jiang Taixu obtained from the secret realm. What do you think?"

Xu Pingsheng stood silently, without uttering a word.

In the depths of his profound eyes, there was not a ripple of emotion, only a chilling glint of light, as sharp as ancient ice, piercing to the bone.

The deathly silence made Ye Linxiao's heart sink slightly, his brows furrowed abruptly, and his tone suddenly hardened:

"Hmph! Don't misunderstand, I'm not afraid of you! I simply admire your talent!"

"Now that the Great Emperor is nearing the end of his life, all races surround us, ready to pounce, and the situation is extremely precarious! If we, as humans, were to fight amongst ourselves and slaughter each other, we would only be benefiting the other races and causing a great disaster! At that time, you would be the eternal sinner of humanity!"

Faced with these high-sounding words, Xu Pingsheng remained unmoved and kept silent.

He slowly raised his long, slender index finger, pointing it at Ye Linxiao from afar, his voice cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion:

"The Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, a single finger can sever mountains and rivers!"

Sizzle—!

An invisible, imprisoning force, barely perceptible to the naked eye, suddenly pierced through the air, instantly passing through the void and directly sweeping past Ye Linxiao's body.

Before Ye Linxiao could even register the slightest warning, the quasi-emperor-level spiritual energy barrier protecting his body shattered and dissolved without warning.

He felt a sudden chill in his chest, followed by excruciating pain that tore at his soul.

He instinctively looked down, his pupils contracting sharply in an instant, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

A gaping hole appeared in his chest, piercing straight through his body, leaving a bloody and terrifying mess.

He was deeply shaken, his body stiffened, and a storm raged within him.

How is that possible?

What level of cultivation technique is this?!

In the entire history of the Kunxu Realm, he had never heard of such a domineering and bizarre finger technique!

Just now, the quasi-emperor spiritual power that he had been circulating freely within his body was completely frozen, leaving him no room for independent defense, and his body was easily pierced through.

This injury was not fatal to him, given his strong physique and status as a quasi-emperor at the ninth level.

However, it dealt a near-devastating blow to his Daoist heart and soul.

The boy before him was too mysterious in origin and too terrifying in combat power, completely beyond his comprehension.

At this moment, Ye Linxiao, who had fought for seven thousand years and whose mind was as firm as a rock, felt a strong sense of apprehension and deep fear for the first time.

"That gesture just now was to get what An Ran deserved!"

Xu Pingsheng's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, and resounded throughout the entire secret realm, causing the surrounding gale to suddenly freeze.

Before he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on his fingers again, his gaze icy and piercing:

"This finger strike is on behalf of Luo Li!"

"Two fingers imprison heaven and earth!"

boom!

An even more violent, invisible force crashed down, instantly exploding a gaping hole in Ye Linxiao's abdomen, gushing out blood that stained his robes red.

"puff--"

A surge of hot, sweet-smelling blood rushed to his throat. Ye Linxiao could no longer suppress the churning blood and chaotic Dao power within his body. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick blood, staggered backward, and instantly created a distance of hundreds of feet.

He looked flustered and shouted repeatedly:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, stop! Stop immediately! You and I are both pillars of the human race, bearing the heavy responsibility of its survival. We must not kill each other!"

"Oh?"

Xu Pingsheng slightly raised his eyes, his gaze turning even colder.

"When you massacred and wiped out the entire Jiang clan, did you ever think about the survival of humanity? Did you ever consider that we shouldn't kill each other?"

A simple question instantly rendered Ye Linxiao speechless, his breath caught in his throat.

His expression changed several times, and he hurriedly waved his hands, offering a frantic explanation:

"I was wrong! I was confused back then, blinded by my inner demons, and committed a grave mistake!"

"Moreover, my previous claim about the torture and killing of Meng Yuening was all fabricated! When I broke into the Jiang Clan's main hall, Meng Yuening had already embraced Jiang Taixu's body and resolutely self-destructed, sacrificing herself without suffering any humiliation!"

Upon hearing this, most of the pent-up frustration in Xu Pingsheng's chest dissipated.

Fortunately.

The mother-in-law and father-in-law, whom the couple had never met, were not subjected to humiliation or torture before their deaths, and were able to die with dignity.

But this sense of relief did not diminish the chill in his eyes, nor could it erase the heinous crime of Ye Linxiao's massacre of the Jiang clan.

Xu Pingsheng stood in the void, his robes fluttering, and his icy voice once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth, falling like a pronouncement:

"No!"

"You don't admit you were wrong!"

"Instead, they knew they were going to die!"
