Chapter 1872: Chapter 1891: Savage Killing Intent
On the other side, the Great Sects of the Eight Directions.
Apart from Qianyang Sect being destroyed by Ye Xuan, seven Sect Hierarchs were currently gathered together, each one with an extremely grave expression.
"This is outrageous."
The Burning Heaven Sect Hierarch growled angrily, as if venting his fury.
"What’s the point of saying this now? This new Divine Master demands we hand over ten million Primordial Stones. If we don’t comply, I’m afraid we’ll face the calamity of sect destruction." The Three Yin Sect Hierarch said coldly.
"What a joke, we can’t even come up with ten million Primordial Stones. His actions are forcing us to rebel." Another Sect Hierarch said angrily.
"This person is even more brutal than Fei Yu, and since he was able to kill Fei Yu, if we show any dissatisfaction, I’m afraid he won’t spare us either." Another Sect Hierarch said heavily.
"Our Burning Heaven Sect can at most offer five million Primordial Stones, that’s already our limit. But if we really give it to the Feiyu Divine Dynasty, how will our disciples cultivate, and how will we cultivate?" The Burning Heaven Sect Hierarch asked bitterly.
"Gentlemen, I have a suggestion, would you care to listen?" The Three Yin Sect Hierarch said with an inscrutable gaze.
"What time do you think it is? Speak quickly."
Several Sect Hierarchs hurriedly looked at the Three Yin Sect Hierarch, as this matter was indeed urgent.
"Although we cannot resist the Feiyu Divine Dynasty, don’t forget, the Great Yan Divine Dynasty has always been eyeing the Feiyu Divine Dynasty. And the Great Yan Divine Master has the cultivation of the Heavenly Defying Third Transformation. If we pledge allegiance to the Great Yan Divine Master, with our forces combined inside and outside, we can surely overthrow the Feiyu Divine Dynasty." The Three Yin Sect Hierarch said sinisterly.
"Good suggestion."
Hearing this from the Three Yin Sect Hierarch, the others instantly showed excitement.
"Good, since you all agree, we should act immediately and ensure this new Divine Master of the Feiyu Divine Dynasty dies without a place for burial."
The Three Yin Sect Hierarch spoke with malice, and the seven Sect Hierarchs began their secret deliberations.
...
"Primordial Severance, Ancient Worry, Ancient Great Dream spanning a thousand autumns!"
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky, his thoughts slightly adrift, as if faintly understanding the meaning of this phrase.
The severance of the Primordial, the worries of ancient beings, and the demise of the Ancient Times, written into a grand historical scroll of the Three Great Eras.
Ye Xuan pondered, when the Ancient Times pass, if he cannot become earth-shattering, then he too will perish with the Ancient World.
But even if he becomes earth-shattering, survives the destruction of the Ancient Reincarnation, and smoothly enters the Ancient Times, where does his future lead?
Or does becoming earth-shattering mean he must return to the Chaotic Universe and compete against those earth-shattering beings of the current era?
"Three Lives Unification?"
"How exactly should one achieve Three Lives Unification?"
"Where exactly is the Dharma and Tao of the Future Body?"
Gazing at the sky in silence, unperturbed by the earth’s tremors, Ye Xuan was immersed in contemplation. Even though he had already stepped into the Heavenly Defying Third Transformation, it didn’t really excite him.
As his cultivation gradually increased, Ye Xuan could feel the harshness of the path ahead. At this moment, he practiced the Dharma and Tao of the present era, but the future still remained elusive and ethereal.
"Divine Master, things aren’t good."
Just as Ye Xuan was considering the future, the Great Elder and others filed in, their faces filled with gravity, bowing respectfully to Ye Xuan.
"What is it?"
His thoughts interrupted, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, showing slight impatience.
"All eight Great Sects have rebelled, countless sects below have responded in kind, and the territories governed by our Feiyu Divine Dynasty are in complete chaos, all condemning us." Yun Lan Heavenly King reported coldly, clearly indicating that the resulting situation was due to Ye Xuan’s actions.
"Then what’s the use of you all, slaughter all the rebellious sects and destroy their families." Ye Xuan coldly rebuked.
"Divine Master, if only the eight Great Sects had rebelled, with our cultivation, we could naturally suppress them. But these eight Great Sects somehow contacted the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, even if we go to suppress them now, with the powerhouses of the Great Yan Divine Dynasty present, we are at a disadvantage." The Great Elder sighed heavily.
"Great Yan Divine Dynasty?"
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, a strange expression forming at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "So be it, then tomorrow I shall lead you personally to exterminate these traitors."
"You may leave now."
With a wave of Ye Xuan’s large hand, the Great Elder and others were taken aback, not expecting Ye Xuan to disregard the Great Yan Divine Dynasty and seemingly prepare for battle.
"Divine Master, reconsider, the Great Yan Divine Master has the Heavenly Defying Third Transformation..."
Before the Great Elder could finish speaking, Ye Xuan’s expression turned cold, "Leave."
"Yes."
The Great Elder wore a solemn expression but somewhat understood Ye Xuan’s disposition and could only lead the people of the Feiyu Divine Dynasty out of the Tao Palace.
As the Great Elder and others left, a cruel and tyrannical smile emerged on Ye Xuan’s face, a chilling intent to kill quietly flashed in his eyes.
"Great Yan Divine Master?"
"You’re the one I want to kill."
Ye Xuan cruelly smiled; everything was within his plan, this was his real purpose.
In truth.
When Ye Xuan issued the Dharma Decree to oppress the Great Sects of the Eight Directions, he was forcing them to rebel, never actually intending for them to tribute ten million Primordial Stones.
Because it was simply unrealistic, the Great Sects couldn’t pay up.
Ye Xuan’s plan was simple: as long as the Great Sects dared to rebel, they would inevitably contact other Divine Dynasties.
Thus, Ye Xuan would have an excuse to annihilate all these Great Sects and seize all their Heaven and Earth Primordial Stones.
Subsequently, his target was directly the Great Yan Divine Dynasty, to destroy their Divine Dynasty and plunder all their Heaven and Earth Primordial Stones, and all Ancient Divine Items that could enhance cultivation.
This was Ye Xuan’s plan, because only through continuous conquest and plunder could he achieve the Heavenly Defying Nine Transformations in the fastest time possible.
As for massacring sects and extermination? In Ye Xuan’s view, it wasn’t an issue.
Because he never intended to rule over the Feiyu Divine Dynasty, nor did he want to be any Divine Master. What he wanted was merely his own strength. Whether other beings lived or died had nothing to do with him.
Everyone was just a pawn to him, and for the sake of rapidly increasing his cultivation, he didn’t care about the life or death of these pawns.
And this, was the difference between him and Fei Yu.
Fei Yu was too merciful, leading the Feiyu Divine Dynasty diligently and dutifully, though also oppressing the Great Sects below, he still gave them room for survival and cultivation.
But Ye Xuan was not Fei Yu, he couldn’t care less about the life and death of the beings below, as long as he could gradually grow stronger, even if billions of beings perished, he wouldn’t care.
Moreover, knowing the future, Ye Xuan was very clear about one thing: when the upheaval of Reincarnation and Destruction arrives, apart from the three earth-shattering beings of the Primordial Times, all other beings will disappear.
Since they were destined to die eventually, Ye Xuan wouldn’t feel any burden. In the Ancient World, strengthening oneself was the only correct principle.
...
The next day!
The Taiyang Star rose, pouring golden rays across the earth.
Dong—Dong—Dong!
The war drums thundered in a deafening roar, golden clouds ascended to the sky, countless silhouettes stood upon the golden clouds, their dreadful killing intent soaring into the heavens.
