…

“Since no one has any objections, then this matter is settled.”

Zhang Shen opened his mouth and everyone nodded, acknowledging the matter.

Ye Xiao did not say anything more. Following that, Zhang Shen took out a mission raft.

“Ye Xiao, in the Ming Emperor Universe, a high-level existence has appeared. He has already achieved the Supreme Sovereign realm for a very long time, at least more than 300,000 years.

“If my guess is correct, his cultivation has already far surpassed the ordinary Supreme Sovereign, reaching the realm’s advanced stage.

“Now that you’ve chosen to accept the mission, then he’ll be in your charge.”

Ye Xiao accepted the mission raft and nodded.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll go take a look.”

As he finished speaking, he instantly disappeared from where he was.

Seeing Ye Xiao leave, everyone could not help but say,

“If not for the fact that this rascal’s strength is really very strong, I would definitely have made my move against him earlier. I would not have let him be so arrogant to this point.”

Zhang Shen said,

“The reason why we did not go and deal with him is not only because he is very strong. At the same time, there is another reason which is that he has already fused with heaven-defying laws.

“As long as he has fused with a heaven-defying law, he will be controlled by the God of Creation.

“This is the key reason why we aren’t going to attack him because he is no longer able to cause us any fatal damage.

“In addition, if we let him deal with those fellows that we don’t want to deal with, he will be able to accept the extent of our injuries and won’t delay us for too long. This can also be considered compensation.

“However, he has stolen so many things from us. This matter can’t be just settled like this. We just don’t want to make enemies with him now to avoid getting injured. If there’s an opportunity in the future, we won’t let him go.”

Zhang Shen did not directly answer. He only said indifferently,

“In that case, I advise you to hurry up and go back. Raise your cultivation and don’t waste your time here.

“In addition, there’s another thing I want to tell all of you. All of you had better seal all of your ‘share’ properly so that you won’t encounter such a situation in the future.

“Ye Xiao this fellow never plays by the rules. Who knows, he might directly pull all of your shares out by the roots the next time. At that time, all of you won’t even have the chance to cry.”

Hearing that, everyone’s expressions could not help but repeat themselves. Then, without another word, they immediately disappeared on the spot.

Zhang Shen could not help but shake his head.

“What a bunch of idiots.”

On Ye Xiao’s side, he had already begun to carry out his mission.

The reason why he dared to clash head-on with the others earlier was actually that he had devoured those heaven-defying laws. The others did not know that he had a special method that could purify those heaven-defying laws.

In their eyes, as long as he devoured those heaven-defying laws, he would be controlled by the God of Creation just like them. Thus, he would not pose too much of a threat to them.

At the very least, he would not pose a fatal threat to them.

That was the real reason why they did not attack him.

Otherwise, not to mention the fact that he had snatched so many heaven-defying laws from them, even if he only snatched one or two points from them… No, to be precise, even if he did not snatch anything from them, they would probably not let him off either.

Humans all paid attention to reality.

However, it was also an excellent opportunity for Ye Xiao.

He had to be one step ahead of that God of Creation to raise his cultivation to the level of a God of Creation before she saw him.

However, the difficulty of that matter was very great. It did not mean that he could succeed immediately if he wanted to.

Ye Xiao still needed to think of a long-term plan and think of another way.

‘Speaking of which, the main reason why these people want me to kill that Supreme Sovereign is probably that their numbers have already entered a state of saturation. Therefore, they do not wish to continue adding more companions to divide their heaven-defying laws.

‘Therefore, the other party certainly has to die.

‘These World Destruction Cavalrymen are so vicious. If I follow their plan and kill this fellow, they will have one less enemy.

‘Moreover, not only that, if similar existences appear in the future, they will still choose to kill.

‘The Supreme Sovereign is difficult to cultivate to, to begin with. After a long period of time, won’t there be no one other than myself who can go against them?’

Although there was still the Ancestral Dragon, with the addition of an Ancestral Dragon, there were only two people on his side. Compared to the other party, the difference in numbers was still too great.

Since that was the case, could he choose to secretly protect all of these people? He could use them as a source of potential for himself.

In the future, when he fought against them, he could also have some helpers.

After all, his cultivation base had already reached a realm, and he could no longer rely on the devouring power to increase his cultivation base.

He now needed that top-tier power of laws to increase his cultivation base.

Since it was difficult to increase his strength by a large margin, he might as well choose to expand his numbers. Perhaps there would be some unexpected effects.

Moreover, because of the existence of the Golden Book divine soul, he could completely block the auras of those people, making it impossible for Zhang Shen and the others to detect their existence.

As long as they could not detect the existence of those people, they would not be able to discover that those people were still alive.

He would not be exposed because of that. Everything was perfect.

He did as he was told. He directly entered the Ming Emperor Universe to carry out his plan.

…

At that moment, in the depths of the Ming Emperor Universe, a figure slowly opened his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up and he had a smile on his face. He revealed a satisfied expression.

“It’s been 370,000 years! I’ve finally raised my cultivation to the limit of this universe!

“From today onwards, no one in this universe will be a match for me. After cultivating for over a million years, I can finally rest.”

A relaxed feeling arose in his heart.

However, at that moment, an incident suddenly happened.

A voice quietly entered his ears.

“You’ve just reached the Supreme Sovereign realm’s late stage, and you’re already starting to be complacent?”

“Who’s there?”

Jing Hong was suddenly shocked and could not help but ask. At the same time, his heartbeat started to speed up.

Although he heard the other party’s voice, he had yet to see the other party’s figure. That meant that the other party’s strength was even stronger than his.

Moreover, it was not just a little bit stronger.

That made him somewhat unable to believe that there was actually an existence in the world that was even stronger than him.

He had clearly cultivated to the supreme, highest, and ultimate level!

Just as he was in shock, Ye Xiao quietly descended.

Seeing Ye Xiao’s figure, Jing Hong felt a wave of shock rise in his heart.

That was because he had never seen Ye Xiao before!

In the current universe, he should have an impression of all the high-level cultivators.

Whereas Ye Xiao, he did not have any impression at all.

Just where did that fellow come from?

Could it be… The void?

Ye Xiao’s hands were behind his back, and a faint smile hung on his face.

“I’m here to send you on your way.”

“Send me on my way? Why? I should have never offended you before, right?”

Jing Hong’s expression was filled with shock.

“You don’t need to ask about this matter anymore, because dead people don’t need to know too much.”

Ye Xiao did not directly tell the other party about wanting to recruit him.

On one hand, Zhang Shen and the rest might still be watching from behind.

On the other hand, Ye Xiao also wanted to test just how strong his combat strength was. If his combat strength was really too weak and could not withstand a single blow. Then he had no need to help him at all. He could just send him to the afterlife.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately started to make his move. The World Destruction law blasted toward Jing Hong.

“D*mn it!”

Jing Hong spat out fiercely. Naturally, she did not dare to waste too much time and retaliated on the spot.

The strength of the two naturally did not require much description.

Both of them were already at the late stage of the Supreme Sovereign realm. When they fought, they easily surpassed the limits of the universe.

The universe would explode into ashes on the spot and sink into oblivion.

After that, the two of them began a life-and-death battle in the void.

However, Jing Hong’s strength was clearly much lower than Ye Xiao’s. When the two of them fought, he was not Ye Xiao’s match at all. He was beaten back repeatedly by Ye Xiao.

If it was not because Ye Xiao did not want Zhang Shen and the others to predict how much strength he had and not use his maximum combat strength, Jing Hong might not even be able to last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn before he was directly killed.

Ye Xiao did not want to unleash all of his strength. He first had a playful attitude and easily suppressed Jing Hong.

Jing Hong was not a fool either. The more he fought, the more frightened he became.

According to what he understood, the late stage of the Supreme Sovereign should already be at the limit. It was simply impossible for anyone to reach a higher realm.

However, the strength that Ye Xiao displayed at the moment was clearly stronger than him, so there was no reason at all.

Unless Ye Xiao was an entirely new realm!

Could it be…

He had once heard by chance that there was another realm above the Supreme Sovereign, called the God of Creation!

However, he had always thought that it was an illusory existence in the legends. After he looked at it, it was very likely that Ye Xiao was an existence at that level. If that was really the case, then it would be futile for him to continue fighting.

Facing the God of Creation, even if his cultivation was at the late-stage Supreme Sovereign realm, he had no chance of winning at all.

He could not continue fighting like that. If he continued fighting, he would definitely die.

He had to escape!

Thinking of that, he directly turned into a stream of light and wanted to escape.

Ye Xiao smacked his lips and felt somewhat speechless.

That fellow actually wanted to escape after fighting for such a short period of time. He was really cowardly.

However, from another aspect, it could be said that he had great foresight. He could see that his strength was stronger than his.

At the same time, he was also quite smart. He knew that his strength was very strong, so he did not clash head-on with him.

Acting brave for a moment would only make him throw his life away in vain.

Ye Xiao also did not want such a fool.

Alright, it was safe to say that the guy passed the test.

Thinking up to that point, Ye Xiao executed the World Destruction law and instantly caught up to Jing Hong.

Jing Hong had already escaped a very long distance at the moment. He thought that Ye Xiao would not be able to catch up to him, or that he would not be able to catch up to him in a short period of time.

In the end, he did not expect that just as he turned his head, he would directly meet Ye Xiao’s gaze.

In an instant, all the hair on his body stood on end, and his heart was beating wildly.

It was simply too unbelievable. That fellow was not only abnormally strong, but his speed was also so fast that it made people feel that it was ridiculous.

In front of him, he felt like he was like a little baby, completely crushed.

How was that possible?

Did he still allow others to live?

“Ah!”

He let out a furious roar and directly used the law energy to bombard Ye Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao clearly had long anticipated that. He easily dodged that move of his and then punched his stomach. The World Destruction law was like a rainstorm, pouring down and wildly rushing into his body, on the spot, all of his strength was sealed.

Then, Ye Xiao directly put him into his own small world. Then, he used the Golden Book divine soul to shield his aura.

That way, it was equivalent to him having already killed him. Zhang Shen and the others would not have any suspicions.

Just as Jing Hong’s aura completely disappeared, Zhang Shen, who was far away in the Divine Hall, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

That was because of Ye Xiao’s previous performance, he had already begun to have some faint suspicions.

He felt that Ye Xiao was hiding something from him.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly plunder so many heaven-defying laws behind his back?

Although he did not know Ye Xiao’s thoughts, it was still very necessary to be on guard.

Therefore, he had been monitoring Jing Hong’s aura from the start.

After he saw that his aura had completely disappeared, the suspicions in his heart were like stones that had fallen to the ground, and he became much calmer.

‘Looks like I’m overthinking things. This fellow is just purely trying to take advantage of me.

‘That’s for the best. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome.’

That was because Ye Xiao had already obtained quite a number of heaven-defying laws.

While his original strength was about the same as the rest of them. After plundering the heaven-defying laws, his strength would only become even stronger.

If they were to really fight, there would definitely be some losses among them. They might even really die without a burial place like Ye Xiao.

Since both sides did not need to fight each other, it would definitely be much better.

If they lost some heaven-defying laws, then so be it.

On the other side, after Ye Xiao absorbed Jing Hong into his own small world, he also quickly entered his own small world.

Seeing him enter as well, Jing Hong’s expression was as gloomy as water.

“What exactly do you want to do? If you want to kill me, just do it directly. There’s no need to do so many tricks.”

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and unsealed the seal in his body.

That made Jing Hong, who was originally a little angry, instantly dumbfounded. He looked at Ye Xiao at a loss and completely did not understand what he was doing.

“What exactly do you mean?”

Ye Xiao smiled slightly.

“Don’t be angry. I was actually saving you just now. If I didn’t put on an act, you would already be dead! Moreover, even if I don’t kill you today, there will be others who will come to kill you.”
