448: Chapter 448 In the next life, don't mess with me.

The ghost tide of ten thousand ghosts devouring the sky was a pure sea of death.

Every shriek from the ghostly shadows pierced directly into the Divine Soul, and every tear took away vitality and strength.

Ye Tian's consciousness was like a small boat in a storm, at risk of being completely swallowed at any moment.

But, deep within this boundless darkness, a single point of spiritual light remained unextinguished.

That was the Legacy imprint of the Chaos Derivation Art, the eternal clear radiance of the chaos bead, and the undying heart-fire he had condensed after facing his true self in the Mirror Abyss and confirming his path before the ruins core.

"Chaos is not deathly stillness; it is the beginning of all things and contains infinite vitality!"

"Lightning is not just destruction; it is the very first thread of power to break open Chaos and bring light!"

"Only after destruction can there be rebirth!"

"Crack..."

Outside the ghost tide, everyone only saw the black ghost tide vortex that had swallowed Ye Tian suddenly shrink inward, and immediately after...

"Rumble!!!"

Above the Nine Heavens, chaotic thunderclouds gathered crazily, instantly obscuring the sky over Huangji Square!

Within the clouds, lightning of many colors—gray, purple, gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow—rolled!

A vast thunderous pressure descended with a boom!

"Heavenly Tribulation?! No! This is... a Breakthrough phenomenon?!"

"Huahai Realm Fifth Level?! He's breaking through at a time like this?!"

"My god! This thundercloud... why is it this color?!"

The crowd below erupted, everyone stunned by this sudden phenomenon of heaven and earth.

Xiahou Ba opened his mouth wide, forgetting to shout.

Shui Qingdie forgot to cry, staring blankly at the sky.

Elder Qinglan and Elder Xing Tiexin were both shocked and overjoyed.

Li Xuanxiao gripped his sword hilt tightly.

On the high platform, Prince Rong sat up straight, and for the first time, the Brocade-Robed Envoy's eyes revealed clear astonishment.

On the arena, Yin Wujiang also felt the extremely Yang and righteous power contained within the thunderclouds.

He crazily urged the Soul-Devouring Banner, wanting to completely strangle Ye Tian before his Breakthrough was complete!

"Ten thousand ghosts return to one, devour souls and seize spirits!"

He roared hoarsely, and the bloody light of the Soul-Devouring Banner surged again.

The endless ghost tide no longer dispersed to bite, but rapidly condensed toward the center, transforming into a pitch-black ghost head that opened its giant mouth and bit down toward the location of Ye Tian in the center of the ghost tide!

This strike gathered the power of ten thousand ghosts, with enough force to instantly obliterate a Huahai Realm Fifth Level Cultivator!

However, the moment that giant ghost head closed...

"Break!"

A clear shout pierced out from the core of the ghost head!

Immediately after, endless gray-purple lightning erupted ferociously!

This lightning was more overbearing than ordinary lightning; it was the first thread of Origin power born after the qualitative change of the Chaos True Essence, which Ye Tian called: Chaos Thunder Gang!

"Boom!!!"

The Chaos Thunder Gang spread out spherically with Ye Tian as the center, booming as it expanded!

Wherever it passed, the ghost head that had gathered the power of ten thousand ghosts let out a shrill wail and was instantly evaporated!

The ghost head collapsed, and the overwhelming ghost tide behind it dissipated in swathes!

In just a single breath, the terrifying ghost tide was swept clean!

In the center of the lightning, Ye Tian's figure reappeared.

He stood where he was, Death Qi clinging to his right shoulder, his face pale as paper, his aura unstable due to his serious injuries.

But, fine gray-purple lightning arcs danced around his body, crackling, and his eyes were clear and deep.

Huahai Realm Fifth Level!

He had finally broken through!

"Im... Impossible!"

Yin Wujiang stared fixedly at the gray-purple Chaos Thunder Gang dancing around Ye Tian, his voice shrill: "Chaos Thunder Gang?! How could a mere ant from the Lower Realm cultivate such power?!"

However, the answer he received was the sword hum of sword.

Ye Tian did not waste any more words. He took a step, lightning exploding beneath his feet, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot, his speed so fast that it left a gray-purple lightning trail in the air!

The next moment, he had already appeared before Yin Wujiang!

sword was raised high, its blade wreathed in gray-purple Chaos Thunder Gang!

"Chaos Thunder Strike!"

He slashed down with one sword!

Before the sword arrived, the aura of the Thunder Gang, which destroyed all evil, had already made the Death Qi around Yin Wujiang boil crazily!

The Nether Soul-Devouring Banner in his hand let out a mournful cry, and the twisted ghost faces on the banner all revealed expressions of fear.

"Block it for me!"

Yin Wujiang's eyes were bloodshot, and he crazily burned his remaining essence blood, pouring it all into the Soul-Devouring Banner. The bloody light on the banner flourished, transforming into a ghost-blood shield that blocked above his head.

"Clang!!!!!!"

sword slashed fiercely onto the ghost-blood shield!

It was no longer the stalemate from before; this time, it was total suppression!

With just one explosive sound, the ghost-blood shield lasted less than half a breath before it shattered with a boom!

The Nether Soul-Devouring Banner let out a shrill cry, a large gash torn in the center of the banner by the Thunder Gang Sword Qi, and countless ghost faces dissipated while wailing.

This evil Magical Artifact dimmed significantly in spiritual light, and the backlash caused Yin Wujiang to spew a mouthful of black blood, his aura plummeting!

However, the momentum of Ye Tian's sword had not yet been exhausted.

The Chaos Thunder Gang tore through the Magical Artifact's obstruction; although its power was slightly reduced, it still carried a heart-palpitating destructive force, slashing fiercely onto the arms Yin Wujiang had hurriedly raised!

"Crack! Crack!"

Yin Wujiang's arms instantly twisted and deformed, his protective Death Qi easily torn apart by the Thunder Gang.

His entire body was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the protective light barrier at the edge of the arena, then rebounding to the ground, rolling a few times before stopping.

At this moment, Yin Wujiang's black robe was shattered, revealing his withered body. His arms hung limp, and a charred sword scar on his chest had almost gutted him, lightning dancing at the wound and preventing the Death Qi from healing it.

"Ah!!!"

Yin Wujiang let out a shrill scream, his eyes filled with resentment.

He would actually lose?!

And lose at the hands of a Lower Realm brat he hadn't even taken seriously before!

"Envoy... save me!"

He struggled, using his remaining strength to reach into his bosom for the boundary-breaking Talisman bestowed by the Brocade-Robed Envoy.

As long as he activated it, he could traverse space and escape to survive!

As long as I live, there is hope!

However, just at the moment his fingertips were about to touch the boundary-breaking Talisman...

"Swish!"

A white sword light suddenly shot from under the arena, striking the wrist Yin Wujiang was reaching into his bosom with!

The sword light swept past, the withered palm severed at the wrist, flying away together with the boundary-breaking Talisman!

It was actually Li Xuanxiao!

His expression was cold, his eyes filled with grim killing intent, showing that he was not kindly saving anyone, but rather...

He did not want this "Upper Realm visitor" who knew the secret of Ye Tian's Legacy to escape easily, nor did he want Ye Tian to get his hands on that extraordinary Talisman.

"Li Xuanxiao! You!" Yin Wujiang wailed, looking resentfully toward the stage below.

Li Xuanxiao sheathed his sword, expressionless: "In a fair duel, how can one allow the use of external objects to escape?"

And at this moment, Ye Tian's figure had already appeared before Yin Wujiang.

He did not look at the boundary-breaking Talisman or Li Xuanxiao.

sword was raised again, the sword tip aimed at Yin Wujiang's glabella.

"Wait! You cannot kill me! I am from the Upper Realm Nether Abyss..."

Yin Wujiang felt death, fear overcoming everything, and he shrieked for mercy.

Ye Tian's eyes had not the slightest ripple, only killing intent.

This person had carried malice from the moment he appeared, wanting to seize his Legacy, injuring his companions, and even sneaking in for a surprise attack last night.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"In the next life, don't come provoking me."

As the words fell, the sword light fell.

"Pfft!"

sword pierced through his glabella, the Chaos Thunder Gang erupted, instantly obliterating all of Yin Wujiang's vitality, and even shredding his remnant soul that was attempting to escape.

Yin Wujiang's body stiffened, his pupils dilated, and immediately after, his entire body, like sand in the wind, suddenly collapsed, turning into wisps of black mist rising into the sky, finally dissipating completely into the air.

Then, a black ring fell down.

On and off the arena, there was dead silence.
