Profound Heaven Soul Sovereign

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Domineering Languang

But they held back, forcing themselves to endure. They knew, just as Ye Xuan had said, that what was at stake for the three of them wasn’t just their own lives, but the lives of the hundreds of millions of citizens of the Thirteen Nations Alliance. They couldn’t afford the slightest bit of recklessness.

Yun Aoxue and Xia Qixi clenched their fists. ’Ye Xuan, if you die, how could we live on?’ they vowed inwardly.

"Young Master Ye."

It wasn’t just Yun Aoxue and Xia Qixi. Luo Cheng, who was in the crowd of applicants, was completely dumbfounded when he saw that the person Crazy Battle wanted to kill was Ye Xuan. He let out a cry of alarm.

Zhou Qingwei of the Zhou family, who was also among the applicants, felt a sense of immense satisfaction at the sight. ’This brat really knows how to stir up trouble. As if offending the Qin family in the Imperial Capital wasn’t enough, now he’s even offended the Profound Mystery Sect. Perfect. Someone like him is better off dead.’

Murong Yunxiao of the Murong family frowned, a trace of worry crossing her features. ’How did he get into such trouble?’

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Master Qingfeng gave Ye Xuan a grave look and asked in a cold voice, "Is what he said true?"

Ye Xuan shook his head. "Master, I don’t know this person at all, nor have I ever seen any elder from the Profound Mystery Sect."

Naturally, Ye Xuan wasn’t about to admit to something like that.

His only hope was for Gale Light Academy to intervene. Otherwise, escaping Crazy Battle’s pursuit on his own would be incredibly difficult.

"You heard him," Master Qingfeng said lightly to Crazy Battle, nodding.

Crazy Battle’s face twisted into a snarl. "Just because he says it wasn’t him, that’s it?" he said coldly.

Ye Xuan sneered. "You keep insisting I killed an elder from your Profound Mystery Sect. Do you have any proof?"

All eyes turned to Crazy Battle.

"Proof? HAHAHA! I don’t need proof to arrest someone. My word *is* the proof!"

Crazy Battle glared viciously at Ye Xuan, his tone utterly domineering.

He had no proof, of course, but he was certain this was the person who had killed his son, Gale. It was a powerful gut feeling.

’Besides, so what if he wasn’t the one? What’s the big deal about killing one person by mistake to avenge my son?’

’In his journey to becoming a Supreme Elder, he had killed thousands, if not tens of thousands, of enemies. What was one more life? It was nothing.’

"Heh, such a domineering tone. By that logic, does your Profound Mystery Sect just kill whoever it wants in the Dream Realm Plain?" Ye Xuan mocked coldly.

"Brat, act tough all you want now. We’ll see if you can keep that up in a moment."

Crazy Battle stared at Ye Xuan with a sinister gaze, but he was in no hurry. He already considered Ye Xuan his prey.

He cupped his hands toward Qingfeng and said coldly, "Sir, I, Crazy Battle, respect the extraordinary status of Gale Light Academy. My sudden move today was not without reason. Please, do the Profound Mystery Sect a favor and allow me to apprehend this brat. He killed an elder of my sect, a heinous crime. We absolutely cannot let him go. If you grant me this, the Profound Mystery Sect will surely visit to express our gratitude in the future."

Given Crazy Battle’s personality, it was unheard of for him to speak so politely. But on someone else’s turf, he was willing to do whatever it took to capture Ye Xuan.

Qingfeng sneered. "And if I say no?"

Crazy Battle’s expression turned cold. "Do you truly wish to make an enemy of the Profound Mystery Sect? This person isn’t even a student of your Gale Light Academy. Is there any need for you to protect him like this? I am determined to kill this brat today. If you won’t step aside, then we’ll settle this with force."

As his voice fell, a golden wheel of light suddenly appeared before him. As the intense light bloomed, it was as if a giant, scorching sun had manifested in the world.

A powerful Profound energy radiated outward. The countless students below didn’t dare to look directly, crying out as they scrambled back. Under the terrifying aura, even breathing became difficult. They were like fish out of water, gasping for air.

This golden wheel of light was clearly a Tier Seven Lord Level Profound Soldier.

"You actually dare to make a move at Gale Light Academy! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Seeing this, Qingfeng’s expression changed abruptly. Crazy Battle’s words had been polite, but his actions were incomparably arrogant and domineering. He wasn’t giving Gale Light Academy any face at all.

SWOOSH!

A cyan longsword materialized in his hand, shimmering with a myriad of lights. It seemed to resonate with the sound of countless chants, and faint, cyan Wind Blades flickered in and out of existence around its edge.

As the two Lord Level Profound Soldiers appeared, they immediately stirred the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi. An immense pressure spread out in all directions, carrying a world-destroying might.

"Fine. Fine! It seems you’re determined to protect this brat. In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Crazy Battle roared. A golden radiance bloomed from between his eyebrows, and the golden wheel of light in the air began to hum loudly, shooting violently toward Qingfeng.

"Bring it on!"

A serious expression crossed Qingfeng’s face as he guided his longsword to meet the fierce attack head-on.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The two men were like streaks of light, clashing dozens of times in the air in the blink of an eye. Dense Profound energy tore through the sky, surging and roaring like a tidal wave. The shockwaves caused everyone’s faces to pale with horror.

Ye Xuan stared intently at the sky.

Crazy Battle Elder’s attacks were domineering and fierce; his golden wheel of light was like a scorching sun, radiating endless brilliance. In contrast, Master Qingfeng’s attacks were ethereal and graceful; with a flick of his sword, a sky full of Wind Blades would sweep forth with earth-shattering power.

For a moment, they seemed to be evenly matched.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed.

In the midst of the battle, Crazy Battle suddenly took a fierce blow from Qingfeng head-on. He used the opportunity to abruptly change direction, transforming into a wave of golden light that appeared before Ye Xuan in an instant.

BUZZ!

The golden wheel of light instantly enveloped Ye Xuan, its intense energy pressure causing the stone ground beneath him to shatter.

"Die, brat."

Crazy Battle’s vicious voice echoed.

Fighting Qingfeng had been a necessary evil; his true goal was to kill Ye Xuan. He had been looking for an opportunity throughout the battle, and he had finally found it.

"Not good."

Qingfeng, seeing this from above, was aghast. But by now, he was too late to intervene.

Everyone watched in horror, thinking the same thing. ’Even with Gale Light Academy’s protection, the brat couldn’t escape being killed in the end.’

Just as Crazy Battle’s golden wheel of light was about to cleave into Ye Xuan...

Just then—

"What nerve! To run wild at Gale Light Academy. Do you truly think there is no one here to stop you?"

A majestic, cold voice suddenly echoed in the air. The next moment, a magnificent palm made of Profound energy shot out from deep within Gale Light Academy, striking Crazy Battle’s golden wheel of light with a resounding CLANG and blasting it away.

BOOM!

The palm was dozens of feet wide, the lines on it so clear they seemed to be condensing into a physical form. Solidified strands of Profound energy swirled around it, exuding an incomparable might that felt capable of suppressing the heavens and the earth.

After knocking the golden wheel of light aside, the palm’s momentum didn’t lessen in the slightest as it descended upon Crazy Battle in mid-air.

"Indestructible Light Wheel, block it!"

Crazy Battle roared, holding the golden wheel of light before his chest to defend himself.

But it was useless. With a sickening tear, the giant palm ripped through his protective layer of Profound energy and slammed into his chest.

PTUI!

He spat out a mouthful of blood. His robes were pulverized, revealing the profound armor beneath, and his hair was a mess. He was a truly wretched sight.

"You cause trouble at my Gale Light Academy? Die!"

Having landed one blow, the giant palm showed no signs of stopping. It surged forward again, clearly intending to execute Crazy Battle on the spot.

"I am a Supreme Elder of the Profound Mystery Sect! You dare kill me?"

Injured, Crazy Battle roared in shocked fury, his face a mask of disbelief.

"Hmph. This is Gale Light Academy, not the Profound Mystery Sect. Here, forget a Supreme Elder like you—even if your Sect Master himself came and dared to break our rules, I would suppress him all the same."

The voice was filled with majesty, carrying an unrivaled aura of someone who looked down upon the world.

The giant palm descended like a great mountain, pressing down on him.

"Damn it! Golden Light Escape!"

Crazy Battle could never have imagined this person would show such utter disregard for his status as a Supreme Elder of the Profound Mystery Sect. He immediately spat out a mouthful of essence blood, and his body erupted in a golden, rainbow-like light, as if he were burning. He transformed into a streak of golden light and instantly vanished over the horizon.

"Gale Light Academy, you dared to move against me! The Profound Mystery Sect will not let this rest!"

From the distance, the faint echo of Crazy Battle’s furious roar could be heard.

"Hmph."

The majestic voice snorted with a hint of disdain. Then, the giant Profound energy palm shattered and vanished from the sky.

’A palm of Profound energy, almost condensed into a physical substance. That person must be at least a Tier Seven Third Layer Martial King,’ Ye Xuan thought.

Once a Martial Artist reached Tier Seven, the difference in power between each layer was astronomical. All the Martial Kings Ye Xuan had encountered so far were only at the Tier Seven First Layer.

But the owner of that majestic voice had repelled an all-out Crazy Battle with nothing more than a condensed palm of Profound energy. His strength was clearly on another level.

"Qingfeng, continue with the entrance assessment. If anyone else dares to cause trouble at Gale Light Academy, kill them on sight."

The majestic voice rang out once more before fading away.

"Yes, Vice Director Ge!"

Master Qingfeng flew down and bowed respectfully toward the academy’s interior.

Many in the crowd were left dumbfounded. ’So it was the vice director of Gale Light Academy... No wonder...’

As the top power in the Dream Realm Plain, many of the masters at Gale Light Academy were Tier Seven Martial King experts.

To be a vice director there meant one was a truly heaven-defying individual, undoubtedly one of the absolute top experts in the entire Dream Realm Plain.

"Alright. Due to certain... incidents, the registration was interrupted. We will now continue."

Master Qingfeng shouted, then glanced at Ye Xuan before returning to the front of the line.

The crowd quickly calmed their frayed nerves and resumed the registration process.
