Chapter 1807: Or Else There Will Be No Chance!

"This time, the young man should have no chance to turn the tide, right?"

Sensing the exceedingly majestic Meridian Qi emanating from Xue Qi, many unexpectedly retreated several steps, murmuring under their breath, and had not a shred of doubt about the outcome of this battle.

One is a genius girl in the Holy Vein Three Realms Transformation Realm Early Stage from the Emperor Canglong Palace, and the other is but a brat in the Heavenly Realm Late Stage; there was no comparison between the two.

"This young brother, do not seek temporary bravado, it is better to find a chance to escape!"

Even Murong Sou at the center of the plaza couldn’t help but utter in a deep voice, as someone with experience, he was keenly aware of the gap between Heavenly Realm Late Stage and Transformation Realm Early Stage.

"Hehe, do you believe now that I’m not deceiving you?"

Yet, upon hearing Murong Sou’s words, the young man didn’t seize an opportunity to escape, instead turned his head, revealing a smile to this Murong family expert, making the latter a tad regretful for the boy’s foolishness.

Indeed, what Yun Xiao said is true; after the successive battles, Murong Sou no longer thought this young man was sent by the palace to confuse him.

After all, including Tan Qigong, who was the Director of the palace, several had perished at Yun Xiao’s hands. To say they were sent to deceive Murong Sou seemed an absurdly high price to pay.

It was precisely because he thought this plain-clothed youth might have some relation to Xu Tongshi, Murong Sou spoke to remind him. Yet, the young man not only showed no gratitude but seemed wholly unaware of his perilous predicament.

"Could he possess some unknown method, even able to contend with a Transformation Realm Early Stage expert?"

Looking at the youth with a smiling face, a wildly unrealistic idea arose in Murong Sou’s mind, only to be abruptly quashed.

The divide between Heavenly Rank Third Realm and Holy Vein Three Realms is akin to a vast chasm; fundamentally different, Holy Vein Three Realms experts have fully grasped the Sky Power and begun cultivating Space Power.

This is precisely why experts of the Holy Vein Three Realms have unrivaled measures against cultivators of the Heavenly Rank Third Realm. Often, before you even touch the hem of a Holy Rank expert’s clothes, you risk losing your life.

Earlier, Yun Xiao indeed revealed a side different from regular cultivators, using an eccentric method to freeze Tan Qigong, who was a Half-step Holy Rank, into an ice sculpture.

But strictly speaking, Half-step Holy Rank is just the peak of the Heavenly Realm. They have only glimpsed a hint of an opportunity to leverage Space Power, far from truly wielding it.

Xue Qi is genuinely a Transformation Realm Early Stage expert, meaning she can invoke that hint of Space Power as a means to defeat enemies, a method against which a Heavenly Realm cultivator has no resistance.

No one understood where Yun Xiao’s current confidence stemmed from; a Heavenly Realm Late Stage youth from the Lower Ranker showed no fear towards a Transformation Realm Early Stage expert, an utterly bizarre affair.

At this moment, the notion that "Yun Xiao is insane" resurfaced even more vividly in their minds, as they decided to witness this spectacle, even though they suspected Xue Qi might kill for silence.

"Yun Xiao, you won’t have another chance to speak nonsense again!"

Xue Qi, forcibly subduing her anger, felt her confidence surge as her Transformation Realm Meridian Qi erupted, and with cold words, her aura subtly changed.

"Is it the Xuanji Heavenly Transformation Technique again?"

Sensing the familiar aura, Yun Xiao murmured, but the next moment, he realized this Xue Qi now isn’t the one he had encountered on the Tenglong Continent.

"It seems over the past two years you’ve truly advanced, managing to upgrade the Xuanji Heavenly Transformation Technique to the Xuanji Saint Transformation Technique!"

Considering Yun Xiao’s acumen, he immediately understood his initial sensing wasn’t accurate; the Xue Qi, who reached the Holy Vein Three Realms Transformation Realm Early Stage, was now employing a higher-level technique.

This was evidently a method that grew stronger with cultivation; upon recognizing this fact, Yun Xiao knew the current Xue Qi was likely harder to deal with than on the Tenglong Continent.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao now isn’t merely a Lingyun Realm cultivator like before. The gap between Heavenly Realm Late Stage and Transformation Realm Early Stage wasn’t as insurmountable.

If Yun Xiao leveraged the power of the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, he might reach this tier; yet he refrained from using his last resort unless necessary, particularly in the perilous depths of Murong Tomb.

"Yun Xiao, I know you have strong Ancestor Veins, so activate them quickly, otherwise, there will be no opportunity!"

Feeling the overwhelming Xuanji Meridian Qi within, Xue Qi was rather proud, much like a lofty swan gazing down upon an ant, speaking with disdain.

Once defeated at Demons Mountain on Tenglong Continent by Yun Xiao, it was a humiliation Xue Qi never let go; she had been searching for Yun Xiao to reclaim her lost dignity.

At that time, Xue Qi was defeated by the Ancestor Vein Power of Yun Xiao. In her opinion, even if Yun Xiao unleashed all of his Ancestor Vein Power, it was unlikely he could break through to the Early Stage of the Hua Xuan Realm.

After the opponent had revealed all his trump cards, defeating and killing him would be even more satisfying, wouldn’t it? At this moment, Xue Qi was undoubtedly harboring this thought.

"As you wish!"

Regarding Xue Qi’s suggestion, Yun Xiao did not arrogantly refuse. He knew that just relying on his current cultivation at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Realm, he might not even withstand three moves from Xue Qi. Unleashing the Ancestor Vein Power was originally one of his plans.

Hoo... Hoo...

For a moment, as Yun Xiao’s thoughts moved, the air deep within the Murong Tomb seemed to be stirred by a mysterious force, rushing towards Yun Xiao’s surroundings.

Nearby, Xue Qi watched coldly but kept her promise and did not strike at this time. Honestly, even she was a bit curious about whether Yun Xiao, who was unleashing his Ancestor Vein Power in the Heavenly Realm, could elevate by one realm.

Ancestor Vein Power also has grades, and most are fixed in grade. Only some advanced Meridian Refining Masters can attempt to ascend a meridian, but it requires a bit of luck and comes at a great cost.

Back at Demons Mountain, Xue Qi sensed Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein Power was only of the Heavenly Rank Intermediate grade, which allowed him to elevate by one small realm at the Lingyun Realm level. But within the boundaries of the Heavenly Realm, it might not have the same effect.

In Xue Qi’s cold sneer, there was also a hint of unspeakable jealousy. She was, after all, an abandoned child, and even though her talent was exceptional, she only managed to activate a Fire Attribute Ancestor Vein by chance.

Thus, Xue Qi had always harbored a trace of jealousy towards those talented individuals who possessed formidable Ancestor Veins, especially this boy who grew up with her and dared to have such a powerful Ancestor Vein Power. How could she possibly balance that?

Boom!

As Xue Qi’s thoughts surged, Yun Xiao’s enhancement of Ancestor Vein Power reached a critical explosion. A powerful energy wave erupted around him, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"He actually elevated to the Peak of the Heavenly Realm!"

The Meridian Refining Master at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Realm had a look like he’d seen a ghost. Although he had considered this outcome earlier, when it actually happened, he still found it hard to accept.

Because this meridian refining master elder clearly knew that only when one possessed a Heavenly Rank Advanced grade Ancestor Vein could a cultivator forcibly elevate by one small realm within the Heavenly Realm level.

And even with a single Heavenly Rank Advanced Ancestor Vein, it’s difficult to achieve. If that’s the case, then on that young man, there are at least two, perhaps even three, four, or five Heavenly Rank Advanced Ancestor Veins. How shocking is that?

In fact, Yun Xiao’s possession of Heavenly Rank Advanced Ancestor Veins goes beyond just three, four, or five. If that old man knew Yun Xiao actually had eleven Ancestor Veins, he might just drop his jaw in shock.

Even Murong Sou, a strong member of the Murong Family over there, was full of astonishment. Compared to ordinary Heavenly Realm cultivators, perhaps he could sense even more.

In Murong Sou’s perception, Yun Xiao seemed to be bursting with Ancestor Vein Power all over. Besides the previously seen Ice Cold Ancestral Vein, there appeared to be countless Ancestor Vein Powers erupting.

Even if Murong Sou hadn’t perceived all eleven of Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Veins, his heart was still in a tumultuous storm. This young man, whom he had never seen before, truly piqued his intense curiosity.

"People associated with that person are indeed extraordinary!"

Murong Sou’s mind wandered far. Clearly, he connected this little young man before him to the once imposing and unparalleled Long Xiao Battle God. Wasn’t this young one just clutching the spiritual tablet of the Long Xiao Battle God to demand something from him?

If that’s the case, then there must be some unknown connection between them. At the very least, he might have a strong relationship with the War God disciple Xu Tongshi. Otherwise, the latter wouldn’t have entrusted the spiritual tablet to this person.

"Why him?"

While Murong Sou and the many onlookers were in stunned awe, Xue Qi, who had just encouraged Yun Xiao to unleash his Ancestor Vein Power, had a face that turned peculiarly grim.

When Yun Xiao indeed used his Ancestor Vein Power to elevate his Meridian Qi Cultivation to the Peak of the Heavenly Realm, the trace of unwillingness deep in Xue Qi’s heart surged again.

Even though Xue Qi was already an Early Stage expert in the Hua Xuan Realm, in terms of Ancestor Vein Power, she was far inferior to Yun Xiao. This battle hadn’t even begun, but in a certain sense, she had already lost a round.

"No matter what, today you must die!"

The overwhelming jealousy in Xue Qi’s heart transformed into a surge of hostility, combining with her Meridian Qi of the Hua Xuan Realm, and in an instant, it was already attacking in front of Yun Xiao.
