After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

The next step is the precursor to the fourth realm of swordsmanship, 'Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source'.

Nine is the ultimate number, and nine golden rays signify that the sword intent has reached perfection, and only one step away from entering the legendary supreme realm.

This step requires opportunity, sudden enlightenment, or a flash of inspiration.

Even though it's just this one step away, there's no one else like it in the entire Tianyuan Continent.

"Could it be that cultivation level in the lower realms... doesn't fully represent a cultivator's strength?"

Mu Yan murmured, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

Throughout history, no one has ever achieved such combat power at the Void Refinement stage.

Only Xu Ze.

It was as if the Heavenly Dao had set up a 'cultivation' constraint for this Tianyuan Continent and for this cultivation world.

It had absolutely no effect on the young man in front of them.

Not far away.

Xu Ze raised his head and looked at Yan Tianlie.

That gaze was calm as still water, yet it sent a shiver down the spine of Yan Tianlie, a powerful cultivator at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

“Now,” Xu Ze said, his voice not loud, but like heavenly music, “it’s your turn.”

Yan Tianlie gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the tremor in his heart.

He is at the Tribulation Transcending stage and is the current Valley Master of Fire Cloud Valley!

He is the supreme ruler who has ruled this region for ten thousand years!

How can you be intimidated by a junior who has just broken through to the Void Refinement stage?

"Insanity!"

He roared and summoned the treasured artifact of Fire Cloud Valley.

A spiritual treasure acquired later in life.

It was a throne of fire, carved entirely from ten-thousand-year-old fire jade, with countless mysterious runes flowing across its surface.

Fire Cloud Valley has existed for ten thousand years, and it only possesses this one treasure that protects the sect.

The valley masters of all generations have used this to suppress the fortune and intimidate all directions. No outsider has ever been able to force Fire Cloud Valley to use this treasure.

Xu Ze was the first.

"go with!"

As soon as the spiritual treasure was unleashed, the entire Fire Cloud Valley began to tremble, and countless laws of fire surged from all directions, converging upon it.

That power was enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Xu Ze looked at the approaching throne and suddenly smiled.

He didn't hide.

He did not draw his sword.

He simply extended a hand and gently shook it.

"Snap—"

In the void, an invisible sword intent condensed out of thin air, transforming into a hundred-foot-long giant sword that pierced directly through the spiritual treasure.

Yan Tianlie was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood as he was sent flying backward.

He smashed through the mountain gate and several palaces.

Finally, it was embedded in the mountain, covered in blood, and barely clinging to life.

"No, impossible!"

He murmured, his eyes filled with terror.

"Absolutely impossible!!"

He is in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

The other party is only at the Void Refinement stage.

But in front of the other party, he was like an ant.

Is this the terror of sword cultivators?

Is this the power of perfect sword intent?

Xu Ze slowly descended and landed in front of him.

The Flame-Slaying Sword hung by his side, its blade trembling slightly, as if mocking this overconfident opponent.

"Do you have any last words?" Xu Ze asked.

Yan Tianlie looked at him, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

What else could he say?

beg for mercy?

He is in the Tribulation Transcending stage and is the Valley Master of Fire Cloud Valley. How could he possibly beg for mercy from a junior?

He could only close his eyes and wait for death to come.

But just then...

A voice suddenly rang out.

"enough."

Xu Ze turned his head.

Mu Yan emerged from the void and came to his side.

"Killing a Tribulation Transcending cultivator is not difficult," she said softly, her gaze sweeping over the trembling Fire Cloud Valley disciples in the distance.

"He certainly deserved to die, but those lower-level disciples and ordinary people were innocent."

"Not all of the 30,000 disciples of Fire Cloud Valley are spoiled brats. As long as the sect makes improvements and is supervised, it can still survive."

The words fell.

Xu Ze remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at the charming woman.

Everything was fine.

What's wrong with her?

I never realized you had such a saintly heart!

What do you want to do?

He asked telepathically, his tone tinged with suspicion.

"Don't speak."

Mu Yan winked at him, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Watch me do it."

Xu Ze raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any more questions.

He wanted to see what this woman was up to.

Chapter 150 Empress Dowager, You're Playing with Fire

Just as Xu Ze and Mu Yan were exchanging glances.

Not far away.

Valley Master Yan Tianlie was embedded in the mountain, covered in blood and barely breathing.

This ancestor, who had ruled the Eastern Region for ten thousand years and was in the Transcending Tribulation stage, was now in such a sorry state that he looked like a stray dog.

"...How is this possible?"

His eyes were filled with terror, disbelief, and a deep fear of the young man in the blue robe.

Even if a sword cultivator is unparalleled in killing and has combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level... isn't this a bit too much?!

I'm undergoing a tribulation!

A mere Void Refinement stage cultivator was actually able to shatter his sect's spiritual treasure?!

Wait a minute, why does the sword in their hand exude an even more terrifying aura?

"What kind of sword are you using?"

Yan Tianlie, barely clinging to his last shred of reason, asked weakly.

"Slay the Flame".

Xu Ze, dressed in a green robe and carrying a sword, had his robes fluttering in the wind.

Upon hearing the name of the sword, Yan Tianlie seemed to feel that it was the will of Heaven.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, I've lost today. Take my life now."

Even the flying sword they're using is called 'Flame Slayer,' so they're just here to take me away?

For a moment, the air was silent.

Seeing that even their patriarch had been beaten so badly, the audience fell completely silent.

The Fire Cloud Valley disciples, who had previously spoken rudely, now knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a single word.

The air was thick with the smell of blood and burning, mixed with the heavy breathing of the crowd, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

At this moment when fear was pervasive.

"There's no need to go to extremes."

A voice transmission resounded throughout the land.

Followed by.
