212: Chapter 212 Terrible Consequences

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Shenxiao, who was lying on the ground, became flushed with excitement and shrieked hoarsely, "Father, kill this person quickly! Wash away this humiliation for your son!"

Upon hearing these words, the phantom of the Saint finally took action.

He waved his arm, and a force like a landslide and tsunami surged forth, slamming violently against the golden light barrier.

"Boom—"

In an instant, the world changed color, winds and clouds churned, and the entire space seemed on the verge of being torn apart.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan had been prepared, and at the critical moment, he decisively activated the defensive Imperial Treasure talisman gifted to him by his master, Master Shen Xi.

This mysterious and powerful talisman exuded a terrifying aura, standing before him like an indestructible barrier.

The powerful Saint phantom, who called himself Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong, struck the golden light barrier formed by the Imperial Treasure talisman with a peerlessly fierce blow.

However, an astonishing scene unfolded—

"Bang—"

The Imperial Treasure talisman displayed its extraordinary power; it merely trembled slightly, easily blocking the Saint's attack.

Although the Saint's strike was astonishingly powerful, it could only stir up a faint ripple on the golden light barrier, completely unable to penetrate this sturdy defense.

Seeing that the Imperial Treasure talisman had successfully blocked the Saint's fatal blow, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he unhesitatingly brought out another treasure: the Master Shen Xi Command Token!

This treasure also contained endless divine might and power, a life-saving item specially bestowed upon him by his master.

As Ye Xuan softly shouted, "Master Shen Xi Command Token, destroy!"

He poured all his spiritual power into the Master Shen Xi Command Token and instantly activated the terrifying power hidden within.

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed, and the world shook!

"Boom—"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a crisp and melodious sword hum suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the world.

A dazzling sword light burst forth from the Master Shen Xi Command Token, shooting straight into the clouds like a brilliant star, unstoppable.

"Boom—"

The sword light tore through the void of the nine heavens, as if intending to split the entire world in two; its terrifying might made one shudder in fear.

This incomparable sword light, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, struck straight toward the Saint's divine sense avatar of Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong.

In the blink of an eye, the sword radiance arrived!

"Snap~"

The razor-sharp sword radiance sliced through all obstacles as easily as cutting tofu.

"How is this possible?!"

The Saint's divine sense of Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong didn't even have time to react before it was reduced to ashes in front of this supreme sword light, completely vanishing from between heaven and earth.

The Saint's strike sealed by Master Shen Xi within the Master Shen Xi Command Token was astonishingly powerful; even the Wanshen Sect's ancestral grounds within a thousand miles were not spared, as the overflowing Sword Intent carved a massive trench a thousand miles long.

"Who dares to attack my divine sense?"

Just as Ye Xuan was exerting all his strength to activate the Master Shen Xi Command Token and successfully sever that trace of divine sense,

Deep within the imperial palace of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty, far away in the Beixuan Continent, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong, who had been teasing and playing with his beloved concubine, suddenly flared with rage.

He gripped the waist of the beauty in his arms so tightly that she couldn't help but frown.

"Ouch... Your Majesty, please be gentle~ You're hurting me! What exactly happened?"

Consort Yin Yu keenly sensed the immense power emanating from Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong's palm.

Even as a cultivator in the King Profound Realm, she could barely endure such intense pain and could only complain in a spoiled, coquettish tone.

"Hmph! The divine sense I placed on Xuanyuan Shenxiao has actually been erased by someone!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong's eyes pierced through layers of the void, staring toward the direction of the Shenxuan Continent, his expression becoming incomparably gloomy.

"Didn't Xuanyuan Shenxiao already die?"

Consort Yin Yu couldn't help but be shocked; one must know that Xuanyuan Shenxiao had already perished two months ago.

"Hmph! Isn't all of this thanks to you? Do you really think I don't know anything? However, for the sake of our past relationship, I will pretend not to see it for now, but from this day forward, do not overstep your bounds again!"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong said with a gloomy expression, while fiercely kneading the delicate beauty in his arms.

Although the anger in his heart was hard to extinguish, when he gazed at the face before him, which could be described as stunningly beautiful and peerless in the world, he ultimately felt a sense of pity.

After all, perhaps he had always been too indulgent and permissive toward Consort Yin Yu.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Yin Yu knows she was wrong and will definitely change her ways in the future. Please forgive Yin Yu!"

Consort Yin Yu knew well that Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong's anger was no small matter, so she quickly pressed against him in a coquettish manner, using a sweet, babyish tone to curry favor, to the point where anyone listening would feel weak and soft.

"Sigh..."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong sighed helplessly and held the shapely Consort Yin Yu tightly in his arms, while silently pondering in his heart, "Although Xuanyuan Shenxiao possessed a Divine Body and enviable innate talent, his destiny was to bring misfortune to all his relatives, destined to be solitary for a lifetime."

"Thinking back, even a woman like his mother, Ji Qingya, could not escape this misfortune and unfortunately passed away two months ago!"

Thinking of this, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong couldn't help but furrow his brows.

One must know that whenever a new life is born into the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan, they always invite experts to divine the future and measure good or bad fortune.

If the destiny is superior, they are cultivated with all efforts; conversely, if the destiny is poor, they are discarded like worn-out shoes and left to fend for themselves.

Looking back to when Xuanyuan Shenxiao was born, strange phenomena frequently appeared, and the radiance of his Divine Body was dazzling, which made Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong overjoyed, and he immediately bestowed upon him a wisp of Saint divine sense as a reward.

As the co-ruler of the world and the Human Emperor, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong feared this peculiar destiny most of all, and thus he gradually distanced himself and grew cold toward the mother and son, Xuanyuan Shenxiao.

Not only that, even those within the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan treated the mother and son, Ji Qingya, differently, often subjecting them to cold words and, even worse, finding ways to deduct even the most basic cultivation resources.

Such treatment was even more miserable and unbearable than being cast into the cold palace!

"However, blood is thicker than water after all. Even so, he is still my own flesh and blood. Pass on my decree: immediately dispatch an elder whose cultivation has reached the Undying Realm to the Wanshen Sect to investigate."

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong turned to face the attendants standing outside the hall and issued this order.

"We respectfully obey the Imperial Decree!"

Outside the hall, the respectful responses of the attendants rang out, echoing within the magnificent and grand palace.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong then continued to lower his head and tease the cute and obedient Consort Yin Yu in his arms...

"No!!!"

Watching his father's divine sense avatar being destroyed, Xuanyuan Shenxiao's heart was filled with endless despair and darkness.

He widened his eyes and shrieked in disbelief.

He could not accept that what was happening before his eyes was real.

"That was close!"

Ye Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still filled with rage.

Just a moment ago, he had truly felt the threat of death approaching step by step, which made him exceptionally angry.
