Chapter 906: Under Divine Xuan, All Are Mere Ants (Part 2)
"Ah——!!"
Xuanyuan Wentian's scream was earth-shattering, clearly heard even at the Supreme Sea Palace a hundred miles away. They all looked north, deep shock and disbelief written on every face.
"That scream... is Xuanyuan Wentian!?"
"It's Xuanyuan Wentian's cry!"
"Could it be... could it be that Xuanyuan Wentian is no match for Yun Che? Is Yun Che the one who seriously injured Xuanyuan Wentian?" a Xuan adept from one of the seven nations said with extreme excitement.
Xuanyuan Wentian had displayed before them a power like that of a legendary demon god, and they could not imagine any force in the world that could oppose him. They never expected that in the clash between Yun Che and Xuanyuan Wentian... what they heard was Xuanyuan Wentian's scream.
"Is this... real?" Feng Hengkong and the others felt as if they were dreaming.
"Impossible!" The people of Tian Wei Sword Domain all stared wide-eyed, their faces full of panic: "The Venerable One's power is comparable to a demon god; how could he possibly lose to Yun Che!"
"Ha... truly hard to believe." Qin Wushang looked at the northern sky and sighed deeply: "Seven years ago, he was just a child who had just entered the Mystic Palace and needed my secret protection. Now, in just seven short years, he has already reached such a realm. Rather than an unprecedented legend, it's more like a dream that's hard to believe."
"In terms of age, isn't he still just a child in front of us now?" Dongfang Xiu said with a faint smile: "His nature is sinister and domineering; deep down he refuses to be controlled by anyone or to be beneath anyone. Such a person naturally wouldn't have any grand righteousness or be willing to bear any mission. But it is precisely he who saved the Cang Feng Kingdom, and today, single-handedly bears the future of the entire Tian Xuan Continent..."
"Although he himself surely doesn't care at all, if Tian Xuan Continent can thus shake off Xuanyuan Wentian's shadow, then he will certainly become an unprecedented myth of Tian Xuan Continent—one that perhaps no one can surpass in the future."

"Urghhhh..."
Xuanyuan Wentian clutched the wound on his chest that glowed with a crimson light, his face twisted like a true demon under immense pain. But no matter how he concentrated his power, the wound showed no sign of healing, not even the bleeding could stop, and his entire palm was soon soaked with dark red-black blood.
Although Yun Che displayed supreme confidence, he had no idea how strong Xuanyuan Wentian had actually become, so he couldn't be absolutely certain of victory. Thus, he first feigned weakness, using Xuanyuan Wentian's excessive confidence and arrogance to launch a sudden dirty strike, giving him a vicious sword wound.
The sword wound was long but shallow—such a wound would mean little to an ordinary Emperor Lord. However, this was a wound from the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword, the most terrifying nightmare for Xuanyuan Wentian's "demonic body." This wound with its crimson light not only caused him immense pain but also severely impeded his movements and considerably affected the circulation of his Dark Profound Force.
Even more frightening was that this wound could not be healed by Dark Profound Force at all. Even if Xuanyuan Wentian's profound power were ten times stronger, he could not quickly ease this wound—in fact, it would persist even longer.
"Yun Che... how dare you damage this Venerable One's noble demonic body!"
The physical pain and the humiliation of his pride completely shattered Xuanyuan Wentian's earlier calm and his proud stance of looking down on the world. Anger, fury, and murderous intent erupted fully under the drive of his Dark Profound Force.
Bang!!
Black light exploded from Xuanyuan Wentian's body, and the already overwhelmingly powerful dark aura suddenly surged several times stronger. A layer of black light swirled around his demonic body, flickering with pitch-black profound light like scattered lightning.
A dark pressure rushed toward Yun Che, forcing his body back several steps. His hands gripping the Demon-Slaying Sword tightened slightly, and his expression turned cautious.
"Aaaah... Yun Che, this Venerable One will tear you into shreds!"
The wound still dripped blood, and the pain seemed endless. Xuanyuan Wentian roared hoarsely, his black light surging as he suddenly emitted three dark beams that turned into tentacles coiling toward Yun Che.
The dark pressure carried by these three dark tentacles was incomparable to before, and their speed was several times faster. Yun Che retreated rapidly, flipping his arm as the Heaven-Defying Sword swept a crimson arc... Just as he struck out with his sword, his pupils contracted slightly.
Because behind the three dark tentacles, hundreds of dark sword lights suddenly appeared.
Boom!!
The three dark tentacles touched the Demon-Slaying Sword and, like three severed earthworms, twisted and quickly dissipated. But in the instant he withdrew his sword, hundreds of sword lights flew in with icy sword howls, each carrying an aura no weaker than the dark tentacles just dispersed.
"Yun Che... die!!"
Yun Che's eyes widened, his body retreating as fast as possible, but he couldn't outrun these hundreds of dark sword lights tearing through space. As the sword lights closed in, his eyes turned sinister. He abruptly stopped, letting out a low roar.
Profound light exploded from Yun Che's entire body, his profound energy surging. "Cloud-Sealing Sun-Locking" activated instantly, condensing an invisible Evil God Barrier. Amid the soul-piercing collisions, all the dark sword lights struck the Evil God Barrier.
Xuanyuan Wentian's hands turned into claws, black light dancing in his palms and all over his body as he furiously drove the dark sword lights. Yun Che gritted his teeth, hands spread wide, steadfastly supporting the Evil God Barrier.
The previously violently churning space suddenly became still. The two stalemated for a long time across a hundred zhang. The black light in Xuanyuan Wentian's hands roiled more and more violently, his face gradually twisting, as if he couldn't believe Yun Che had blocked him.
"Yun Che... this Venerable One wants to see... how long you can hold out..."
"Heh..." Yun Che actually smiled, speaking word by word: "It won't... be... too... long..."
As his voice fell, his expression changed, and he let out a heaven-shaking roar.
"HAAAA!!"
In the roar, Golden Crow Flame soared into the sky. Yun Che's profound energy, already several times expanded from before, swelled again. The prolonged stalemate suddenly broke as he fully released his profound energy, causing the Evil God Barrier to explode violently. The dark sword lights stuck in the barrier trembled with screeches, all thrown far away.
A tremendous backlash slammed into Xuanyuan Wentian, who was driving the dark sword lights, shaking his entire body and making his expression change drastically.
Yun Che surged forward, the Heaven-Defying Sword sweeping horizontally across the sky, destroying all the scattered sword lights in an instant. Then, stepping with Star God Remnant Shadow, he closed in on Xuanyuan Wentian. The Heaven-Defying Sword burst with hundreds of zhang of flame sword light, slashing toward the space where Xuanyuan Wentian stood.
Xuanyuan Wentian's gaze had turned extremely gloomy. He threw out a dark light curtain, sending the flame sword light far away, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the wound on his chest, coming away with a handful of blood.
His blood-stained hand thrust forward. As the dark red-black blood dripped, a black-red profound formation slowly formed in his palm, rotating slowly, gradually releasing a terrifying blood light.
"Yun Che, this is the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Array born from this Venerable One's demon blood..." His emotions were clearly more violent and furious after having his dark sword lights blocked: "This Venerable One originally planned to leave you a whole corpse... but now... this Venerable One will refine you into thick blood!!"
With the hoarse roar, Xuanyuan Wentian flung his hand. The half-foot-wide blood-colored profound formation flew rapidly toward Yun Che.
An extremely oppressive aura struck Yun Che, making him feel an intense unease. He instinctively retreated, but the blood-colored formation flew overhead, then spread open like a scroll, expanding hundreds of times in an instant and engulfing Yun Che.
"Hahahaha..." Xuanyuan Wentian laughed wildly: "Within the Blood Refining Array, you will soon turn into blood water, and your soul will be refined into nothingness, never to reincarnate... This is the consequence of angering this Venerable One!"
Caught in the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Array, the space around Yun Che turned entirely blood-colored, as if submerged in a world of thick blood. Countless eerie auras swept in from all around. These auras seemed non-aggressive, but Yun Che clearly felt his own blood begin to boil, and a growing heat spread through his entire body.
Glancing at his own palm, Yun Che squinted his eyes. Phoenix Flame and Golden Crow Flame erupted simultaneously. The surging flames instantly pushed away all the blood aura, burning through every corner of the formation. Yun Che also leaped up, his profound energy churning, the Heaven-Defying Sword swinging like a storm, smashing heavily into the blood-colored formation.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...
The two-million-jin crimson great sword swung in Yun Che's hands like a light straw. In just a few breaths, he had already struck a hundred times in succession, each blow causing the blood-colored formation to violently churn. After a hundred strikes, the grim blood aura within the formation was in complete chaos, even letting out a screech as if on the verge of collapse.
Boom!!!
With Yun Che's final sword strike, the blood-colored formation was smashed open with a huge hole. Flame burst out from within, then suddenly parted as Yun Che's figure shot out. He swung his sword, and behind him, the Shadow of the Celestial Wolf and the Phoenix Shadow appeared simultaneously.
"Phoenix Celestial Wolf Strike!"
"Wh... what!?"
From the moment the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Array enveloped Yun Che to its collapse, only five short breaths had passed. Xuanyuan Wentian's face finally turned completely pale with shock.
Previously, he had been wounded by Yun Che's dirty trick, and though furious, he believed it was entirely due to his own carelessness and not that Yun Che had any qualification to match him. After all, at that time, he had only used about twenty percent of his profound power.
But afterward, in his fury, he used the dark sword lights at full power, vowing to tear Yun Che into countless pieces... Then the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Diagram, even fueled by his own demon blood, was immensely powerful.
Yet, Yun Che completely withstood the dark sword lights, and even the Heavenly Demon Blood Refining Diagram was quickly broken through.
In his rage and fury, he had clearly used the full extent of his current power, yet he was completely unable to suppress Yun Che!!
"Aaaaah!!"
With a furious roar, Xuanyuan Wentian's shadow flashed abruptly, dodging Yun Che's Celestial Wolf sword shadow. But instead of counterattacking, he roared hoarsely: "Why! Why has your profound power increased to such an extent in just one short month!"
"This Venerable One cultivated for two thousand years, planned for a thousand years, endured for a thousand years, killed countless people, shed endless blood, expended immeasurable cunning, and even turned my own physical body to blood water... all to have today's power!!"
"And you..." Xuanyuan Wentian panted like an ox, anger, shock, confusion... and intense unwillingness and jealousy in his voice: "Why do you deserve... to have such power after just one short month! Where... where did you get this power? What exactly have you been through!"
