479: Xu Yuan's talent

Five Tianyang aliens tore through the Void Realm, the black flames burning on their bone spurs scorching the space along their path into spiderweb-like cracks.

The crystal on the forehead of the leading one was already dark gold, clearly indicating his Middle Stage Dao Lord cultivation. His bone blades crossed, severing a cross-shaped spatial rift: "Human Race… die!"

Xu Yuan's green robe fluttered, as he stood motionless in the center of the desert.

Only when the five attacks were within a zhang of him did he bring his fingers together like a sword and lightly slash!

"Zheng!"

A clear Sword Qi resounded through the heavens and earth.

There was no brilliant sword light, no vast momentum, only the purest Dao of Sword. Where Xu Yuan's fingertip passed, a hair-thin black line of space appeared.

"Chi—"

The figures of the five aliens froze simultaneously.

They looked down in astonishment, realizing that their bone spurs, crystal cores, and even their Dao souls were slowly misaligning along a perfect cutting line.

That seemingly delicate black line had actually split their Dao bodies, Dao souls, and even their Daos in two!

"What kind of sword… is this?" The Middle Stage Dao Lord alien struggled to look up, and the crystal on his forehead "cracked" into two halves.

Xu Yuan retracted his fingers and clasped his hands behind his back, remaining silent.

As his words fell, the five alien bodies exploded with a roar.

The black flames, which were capable of corroding Eternal Divine Gold, were actually shattered into the most primitive fire-elemental Dao principles by the residual Sword Qi.

Five blood-colored crystal cores floated in mid-air, then were absorbed by the jade talisman on Xu Yuan's waist.

“It seems there are also strong Cultivators in the world I am in!”

Xu Yuan murmured, his gaze looking into the distance.

The Tianyang aliens observing from afar collectively retreated, their forehead crystals flickering wildly, conveying an instinctive fear.

But even more astonishing changes were yet to come.

Xu Yuan suddenly pointed his sword at the sky, and a silver-white sword light shot up into the heavens.

The sword light suddenly split at ten thousand zhang in the sky, transforming into a sky full of stars falling. Each "star" was a wisp of Sword Qi condensed to the extreme, precisely locking onto all Tianyang aliens within a billion li.

"Fall."

As this word was uttered, the entire golden desert suddenly lit up like day.

Dozens of Dao Lord-level aliens looked up simultaneously, the last scene they saw was a sword rain like the collapse of the starry sky… [Current Points: 45]

Soon, Xu Yuan rushed to the top of the Immortal Ranking in this Realm.

"Look quickly! The Immortal Ranking on Battle Stage 67 actually has an unknown Prodigy!"

In the Dao Artifact Square, a Cultivator suddenly pointed at the light screen in the sky and exclaimed.

On the Immortal Ranking for Battle Stage 67, a string of golden, sparkling characters appeared.

[Human Race Xu Yuan: 45]

The entire square instantly erupted!

"Who is this Xu Yuan? Why have I never heard of him?"

"He should be a Prodigy cultivated by the Human Race Holy Temple!"

"Wait… look at the speed of his point increase!"

Everyone looked over at the sound, only to see that the point number next to Xu Yuan's name on the light screen was jumping at an astonishing speed. Almost every breath, it would surge by several points.

This meant that he was carrying out a slaughter-like harvest in the trial Realm!

But one must know that he was facing Dao Lord-level Tianyang aliens, not Dao Severing or Dao Master.

On the highest Starry Cloud Seat, in the Star Devouring Clan's position, the leading Half-Ancestor had a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Xu Yuan, isn't he Xu Qing's younger brother?"

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

A clansman beside him responded.

The Star Devouring Clan Half-Ancestor narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

Xu Qing, that was someone the Old Ancestor had instructed them to pay attention to, and now another Xu Yuan had appeared.

"Go and investigate this Xu Yuan's information!"

"Yes!"

That person complied.

At this moment!

Representatives of the various powerful races had already taken out their communication jade talismans, urgently investigating this Human Race Prodigy who had suddenly appeared. Soon, pieces of intelligence were rapidly transmitted in secret.

"Found him! This child is from the Human Race Xu Family!"

"Bone age less than a million years!"

"What?! How is this possible?!"

On the viewing platform, the expressions of several Chaos Race leaders changed. They seemed to see a young Martial Artist no less talented than Ming Hao appear, and they stared intently at the light screen, their eyes filled with disbelief.

This number caused a huge shock in the hearts of all strong Cultivators who learned the truth.

One must know that even Ming Hao took more than thirty million years to go from Dao Severing to Dao Lord!

The Star Devouring Clan Half-Ancestor looked at the figure in the green robe fluttering on the light screen, and said hoarsely: "This child… must be eliminated!"

"Look quickly at Battle Stages 38, 103, 174, and 267! There are four Human Race Cultivators with the surname Xu, all occupying the top spot on the Immortal Ranking!"

"Not only that, look at the King Ranking and Supreme Ranking, the Human Race Xu Family disciples occupy dozens of top spots!"

"Could this Xu Family be an ancient clan of the Human Race?"

"Investigate! Immediately investigate this Xu Family!"

Xu Qing took all of this in, then tilted his head back and took a gulp of Nine Tribulation Thunder Nectar, his expression calm. He was very clear about what these people were thinking, but anyone who dared to lay a claw on the Xu Family would have it chopped off.

If he couldn't handle it, there was still the Human Race Holy Temple!

He was, after all, a Grand Elder of the Human Race Holy Temple. The Human Race Holy Temple would protect him, both from the perspective of the Human Race and from the perspective of the Human Race Holy Temple itself!

Meanwhile, in the trial Realm, Xu Yuan seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at a certain spot in the Void Realm.

Xu Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile. The smile seemed gentle, but it sent shivers down the spines of all who were secretly observing. He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, performing a simple slashing motion.

"Qiang!"

A clear Sword Qi resounded through the heavens.

There was no brilliant sword light, no vast momentum, only a spatial rift as thin as a cicada's wing and as fine as a strand of hair, slowly extending from Xu Yuan's fingertips.

But wherever this seemingly delicate sword mark passed:

Time froze!

Space shattered!

The Dao was annihilated!

"Kacha—"

The sky curtain was easily torn open like fragile glass. Behind the rift, dozens of powerful Tianyang aliens, who had been lurking for a long time, were revealed!

There were ten Middle Stage Dao Lords alone, and two Late Stage Dao Lords.

"Kill him!"

After being discovered, the two Late Stage Dao Lord Tianyang aliens immediately revealed their true forms. One transformed into a million-zhang-tall mountain of flesh and blood, while the other became a black hole that devoured light.

"Kill!"

A group of Tianyang alien Dao Lords erupted with terrifying power and charged towards Xu Yuan.

But what awaited them was still a single sword finger!

"Chi—"

All the Tianyang aliens, whether Early Stage Dao Lord or Middle Stage Dao Lord, had no chance to react under this one sword finger. A fine line simultaneously appeared on their foreheads.

The two Late Stage Dao Lords let out mournful roars, desperately urging their Origin to resist, but it was ultimately futile.

The mountain of flesh and blood instantly split into a billion pieces, attempting to escape, while the black hole alien frantically devoured the surrounding space, trying to transfer the damage.

However—

The next moment, countless sword marks appeared out of thin air, both in the sky and on the ground, surging towards them.

"Bang!", "Bang!"

Two muffled thuds, and the two Late Stage Dao Lord strong Cultivators exploded with a roar.

Their Origin power had not even erupted before it was directly erased from its Foundation by the Dao of Destruction contained within the sword marks!

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

Above the cloud platform, this thought simultaneously arose in the minds of the various Chaos Race members who held grudges against the Human Race.

On the Human Race side, however, many Sword Dao magnates had already developed the idea of taking him as a disciple.

From a glimpse, these strong Cultivators could already see that Xu Yuan had blended multiple Daos into the Dao of Sword and successfully cultivated each Sword Dao to an extremely high Realm.

If Xu Qing walked the Dao of Myriad Daos, then Xu Yuan walked the Dao of Myriad Swords. Space, stars, time, and so on, were all swords in his hand.
