348: Chapter 348 Do you want more?

This calmness caused Bei Minghong's silver-gray pupils to contract slightly.

He had originally thought that a newly advanced Huahai Realm who had just achieved a Breakthrough and whose Realm was not yet stable would, in the face of the long-famed Bei Minghong Young Lord, feel at least some degree of solemnity and wariness, even if not fear.

But those were absent from the other's eyes; instead, they were exceptionally calm.

"You don't know what's good for you." Bei Minghong's voice grew colder. "Then, enter Eternal Silence."

The moment his voice fell, his right hand, which had been raised in the air, lightly clenched toward Ye Tian.

"Crack!"

The space was frozen by the icy cold. With Ye Tian as the center, the surface of the Thunder Pool and the air within a ten-zhang radius were instantly covered in a layer of solid ice shimmering with an eerie black-blue hue!

This solid ice was not formed from water, but was transformed from the power of the Eternal Silence Ice Soul mixed with frozen Thunder Laws. It emitted a terrifying aura that froze the life force, forming an ice crystal cage to completely consign Ye Tian and the space he occupied to eternal silence!

Eternal Silence Ice Domain! Bei Minghong's Domain prototype! Although not yet fully formed, its power far exceeded the single-target attack "Eternal Silence Frost Soul Finger"!

At the same time, behind Ye Tian, Nangong Yu, who had long been unable to restrain himself, let out a howl: "Brother Chi! Strike!"

A sharp light flashed in Nangong Chi's eyes as he suddenly thrust the damaged blazing sun heart-protecting shield in front of him. His hands rapidly formed hand seals, and he spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the shield's surface!

The shield erupted with one last burst of dazzling crimson-gold flaming light!

"Burning Heaven Secret Art: Flame Dragon Kill!"

Two crimson-gold Flame Dragons, completely transformed from Nangong Chi's natal essence blood and Burning Heaven True Essence, roared out from both sides of the shield!

One on the left and one on the right, they lunged toward the side and rear of Ye Tian, who was enveloped by the Eternal Silence Ice Domain! This formed a perfect pincer attack of ice and fire with Bei Minghong's Ice Domain!

Nangong Yu also exhausted his last bit of True Essence to fire off streaks of crimson flame arrows, blocking off Ye Tian's last bit of space to dodge.

"Senior Brother Ye!" On the platform, Bai Ling and Bai Shaoyi cried out in alarm. They were about to rush out when Feng Xuan stopped them.

Facing such a terrifying attack, Ye Tian simply took one step forward. The surface of the Thunder Pool liquid beneath his feet, which had already been frozen, exploded violently!

Majestic thunder power surged frantically into his body, merging with the thunder True Essence in his Qi Sea.

At the same time, his right hand holding the sword gave a gentle flick. The jingji sword emitted a thunderous sword chime!

On the sword's body, that layer of restrained gray luster suddenly brightened, no longer dull, turning into the original color of Chaos!

Within this Chaos color, countless silver-purple Thunder Sword Gang flickered!

These Thunder Sword Gang followed the momentum of Ye Tian's step and the guidance of his Sword Intent, rippling out indiscriminately in all directions from him as the center!

They swept past the closing black-blue ice crystals, the lunging crimson-gold Flame Dragons, the streaking crimson flame arrows, and also the astonished figures of Bei Minghong, Nangong Chi, and Nangong Yu...

Wherever the ripples passed, time and space seemed to freeze for a split second.

Then...

"Sss..."

The surface of Bei Minghong's black-blue ice was instantly covered with cracks and then vanished, without leaving even a single shard of ice behind.

"Puff! Puff!"

The two crimson-gold Flame Dragons that had fought with their lives were brushed by the ripples. Before they could even let out a wail, they shuddered violently and then disintegrated inch by inch from head to tail, turning into the most primal fire Spiritual Qi, swallowed by the Thunder Sword Gang that were being born and extinguished within the Chaos halo.

Those crimson flame arrows vanished even more instantaneously.

"Ugh, ah!"

Nangong Chi suffered a backlash and his whole body shook violently. His already sallow face instantly turned as pale as golden paper. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with boundless despair.

He could no longer hold the blazing sun heart-protecting shield in his hand. With a "crack," it completely shattered into several pieces of ordinary iron and fell into the Thunder Pool below.

Nangong Yu fared even worse. He was slightly further away, but his cultivation was the weakest. Just being swept by the edge of the ripple, his protective True Essence was shattered in a second. His bones shattered throughout his body as he sprayed blood wildly and flew back with a scream, his life or death unknown.

And Bei Minghong, who bore the brunt of the attack, had his silver-gray eyes contract suddenly! For the first time, an unconcealable shock appeared on his always cold and indifferent face!

A layer of Mystic Ice Armor automatically emerged on the surface of his body; this was one of the life-saving Divine Abilities of the Beiming Family Bloodline.

However, this Mystic Ice Armor, which was enough to withstand a full-strength strike from a Huahai Realm Middle Stage Cultivator, actually developed cracks with leaping Chaos thunder light the moment it was swept by that gray ripple!

Although it didn't shatter immediately, the Chaos intent within the ripple, which surpassed ordinary thunder and cold, scorched his Divine Soul perception!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Bei Minghong let out a muffled groan, his body uncontrollably retreating three steps, causing the Thunder Pulp to explode under his feet.

His face instantly turned a shade paler. Although he immediately stabilized himself, his composure and sense of superiority had been completely shattered.

His silver-gray eyes stared fixedly at Ye Tian, especially the sword in Ye Tian's hand that was emitting Chaos thunder light, which made his Soul tremble.

"Chaos Thunder Emperor Sword Scripture... Chaos Thunder..." Bei Minghong's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity and wariness.

He understood that the other party had not only obtained the Legacy but had also, at the moment of his Breakthrough to the Huahai Realm, initially comprehended a trace of the Chaos True Intent within it and fused it with his own thunder sword Dao.

The ripple from that sword strike just now seemed casual, but it was actually a slight manifestation on the level of Law. It could no longer be described by simple attribute suppression or strength differences!

Although his Eternal Silence Ice Soul was strong, it had not yet touched the level of Law!

Just one sword strike, one step.

Bei Minghong's Eternal Silence Ice Domain was defeated, one of the Nangong brothers was heavily injured and the other was on the verge of death; the defeat was certain.

On the platform, everyone stood frozen on the spot, their expressions showing extreme shock.

Many people's mouths hung open unconsciously, but they couldn't make a sound.

The Jade Slip in Feng Xuan's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," but he was completely unaware. He just stared at the green-robed figure standing with a sword in the center of the Thunder Pool and murmured, "Junior Brother Ye... what on earth did he comprehend?"

Bai Ling and Bai Shaoyi embraced each other, weeping with joy. The people of the Liuli Xuan Sect erupted in uncontrollable cheers, their gazes toward Ye Tian filled with fanaticism.

Ghost Girl stood there quietly. After a long time, she let out a soft breath and whispered, "Chaos Thunder Sword... Li Xuanxiao, it seems your sword has found an opponent."

She glanced at Li Xuanxiao, who was not far beside her.

Li Xuanxiao was still holding his long sword, but those eyes that were always as still as an ancient well were now shining incredibly bright.

He stared intently at the sword in Ye Tian's hand, his body leaning forward slightly. That was the most instinctive Battle Intent reaction when encountering an opponent worth going all out for.

He didn't speak, but that sky-piercing Sword Intent spoke more than any words could about his state of mind.

In the center of the Thunder Pool, Ye Tian slowly sheathed his sword.

The Chaos halo and Thunder Sword Gang on the sword gradually withdrew, turning back into that layer of gray luster.

He didn't even look at the Nangong brothers, but instead fixed his gaze on Bei Minghong.

"Still want it?" Ye Tian asked.

Bei Minghong's silver-gray eyes flickered violently.

He stared at Ye Tian. After a long silence, all the emotional fluctuations in his eyes slowly receded, turning back into a sheet of icy cold.

"Today, I underestimated you."

Bei Minghong's voice returned to its cold and indifferent tone, but no longer looked down from above.

He changed the subject and continued, "However, the Legacy is not the end. Once we leave this Eight-Child Secret Realm and reach the Imperial Capital, the real stage will have only just begun."

"At that time, I hope your sword will still be as sharp as it is today."

Having said that, he didn't stay any longer. He turned and stepped out, his figure already appearing at the edge of the platform. Then, leading the two men in black, he vanished into the corridor leading to the outside of the Thunder Hall after a few flashes.

He actually directly gave up the remaining "Thunder Source Essence" and "Thunder-Patterned Dao Gold" in the Thunder Pool and left without hesitation!

Ye Tian watched Bei Minghong disappear, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This person's decisiveness in Heart-Nature and accuracy in judging the situation far exceeded the likes of the Nangong brothers.

Those last words of his were both an acknowledgment and a more intense declaration of war.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the two remaining treasures in the Thunder Pool. Finally, his gaze swept across the people on the platform with their various expressions.

It was time to collect the spoils of war and then leave this Chixiao Thunder Hall.
