Realms In The Firmament

…

Behind the mountain.

Li Wuliang was holding his broad saber, flying up and down in the sky. His weapon kept shooting out some saber lights.

Besides Li Wuliang, Xue Danru was wearing her white clothes, holding her long sword, like a fairy in the fog dancing beyond the clouds with the sword shooting out some sword lights.

Ye Xiao was so happy to see the couple, and he was a little angry at the same time. Li Wuliang and his woman were actually not weaker than Ye Xiao!

‘Holy hell? Is this even possible?’

Ye Xiao was shocked!

‘After all the fortunate experience I had, the treasures in my hands, I have an unbelievably strong cultivation foundation. I got a lot of extremely useful support, a massive amount of spiritual qi, dan beads, spiritual energy… Why are the people on my side all so unbelievably outstanding? Shuang and Han got the martial art I gave them, so it is reasonable that they could improve that fast. Xuan Bing has her mysterious and powerful Ling Xiao Ice Art, so she improves incredibly fast. Fine. What is the problem with Li Wuliang and his woman? Why did they improve so fast? They are both as powerful as me! I am already at the ninth level of the Saint Origin Stage! Am I actually weaker than these two?’

‘No wonder he called me little brother! He was quite confident!’

‘I always knew that Li Wuliang wanted to be my big brother since day one! Well, it doesn’t really matter for me, but I just don’t like it! It feels better to be the boss!’

‘Hmm… Fine. Let’s solve this later. The enemy seems to be quite dangerous. We should deal with the enemy first!’

As Ye Xiao looked over, it was a thirteen feet tall monkey with strong muscles, whose hair was all golden.

In the monkey’s hands, it was a long spear. The monkey was easily fighting Li Wuliang and his woman.

Apparently, the monster monkey was winning the fight against the couple.

He fought slowly, and it seemed like he didn’t want to win the fight so early because there was something else that he truly wanted…

With a long shout, Ye Xiao had appeared in the sky over the battle. As he saw the fierce face of the monkey, he was frightened.

Li Wuliang and Xue Danru should be as powerful as Ye Xiao. The couple couldn’t defeat the golden monkey!

Ye Xiao knew that Li Wuliang’s Tittle Phase skill was impossible-to-miss saber attacks. When he forced his saber into extreme and used his special technique, he could be three times more powerful than usual!

It seemed the monster monkey was horribly powerful!

“Li Wuliang, you are such a useless old man! Can’t you even defeat a monkey? How dare you call me your little brother? Pah!”

Since he had already arrived at the battle, they should all be safe now. No matter how he was shocked by the monster monkey, he felt relieved, so he teased Li Wuliang for a bit.

“Shut your mouth!” Li Wuliang showed a big smile on his face but didn’t speak as nicely. “If you have the time to talk about nonsense, you should spend it on giving us some help instead! I am exhausted!”

“Hah hah hah…”

“Well! Just watch me! Your big brother is going to kill this evil monkey with one slash! Li Wuliang, just watch!” Ye Xiao laughed and then became a stream of flickering light. The Monarch’s Sword appeared with a long bolt of lightning!

The sword slashed down from the sky like thunder, as if it was going to cut a piece of the sky off!

“Come on! Try to be more confident when you brag again!” At the same time, Li Wuliang made a shout as well. His hairs stood straight up, and he slashed his broad saber down!

Li Wuliang wouldn’t believe Ye Xiao could kill the monkey with a single attack!

The monkey was too powerful! Li Wuliang felt that it would be lucky not to be defeated.

It seemed to him that Ye Xiao had lost his mind because he was too happy to see his brother again.

The monkey looked disdainful. He raised up the long spear, and the entire place was suddenly full of cold stars. He shouted and said, “Are you sure? Just the two of you?”

His golden body suddenly turned into a rolling fire that nearly swallowed the entire mountain!

The monkey jumped up in the sky-piercing flame and made a powerful attack too. The long spear in his hand had become long and thick. The head of the spear was ten feet long, shining scary cold lights.

“Give me your souls!” The monkey shouted.

The monkey wanted the entire souls of other cultivators!

He didn’t defeat the couple as soon as he could because he didn’t want to hurt their souls. If Li Wuliang and Xue Danru exploded their souls, the monkey would lose what he wanted, and the fight would become meaningless to him. However, Ye Xiao started a fierce attack as he showed up, and Li Wuliang suddenly rose in a fierce attack as well…

That was exactly what the monkey wanted!

‘That young man, who just arrived, must be a little stronger than the woman. However, he is not an Immortality Stage cultivator. He is going to lose anyway!’

However, when he was ready to attack…

He was shocked.

He suddenly saw the kitten on Ye Xiao’s shoulder…

The cat was staring at his eyes.

The cat’s cold eyes were full of extreme prestige!

That prestige shook the monkey’s body and soul!

It was like a king descending to the world!

Who dared to disobey it?

The monkey suddenly exclaimed, and the long spear left his hand. He started to shiver.

His eyes looked terrified and full of submission, instead of fierceness and viciousness.

– Puff! –

Ye Xiao’s sword got through the monkey’s body, and the qi of the sword attack exploded inside the monkey’s body!

The monkey’s body was like a water balloon being pierced out from inside by millions of needles!

Blood splashed out, and he was like a blood hedgehog!

The giant body of the monkey stopped in the sky for a while. In his eyes, there was no fierceness or evilness, only despair…

The next moment, with a huge sound, it hit the floor and was on its knees…

Suddenly, his entire body exploded and became a mass of blood mist.

Erhuo slightly moved its small claws…

Li Wuliang was performing his extreme technique, slashing down his saber with his triple-power energy. He wanted to use this move because he and Xue Danru both knew what the monkey really wanted. However, he had to make sure the extreme move could defeat the monkey first.

Li Wuliang’s extreme move was powerful, and his special technique made sure the attack was impossible-to-miss, but he needed a moment to prepare for the final attack. Xue Danru was incredibly powerful as well, but she was good at delicacy. It was difficult for her to fight a strong enemy like the monkey. If she had to face the monkey alone, she would be put down immediately. Ye Xiao was a little more powerful than her, so he was able to buy a second for Li Wuliang! Li Wuliang seized the chance to operate his ultimate attack!

Li Wuliang had done a great job, but…

Well, things weren’t as he planned!

When Li Wuliang slashed, Ye Xiao already finished his attack, and the monkey had just become nothing!

Li Wuliang made the most powerful attack he ever made and cut nothing but air!

– Boom… –

His fierce blade hit the ground and made a crack on the mountain which was hundreds of feet deep… The mountain was cut into halves…

The power of the slash didn’t stop when the saber stopped. It kept going forward for thousands of feet!

The power of the saber attack was shocking! Ye Xiao was shocked!

‘Holy hell! How did he do this? This is so f*cking unbelievably powerful! If I got hit by that, I would become something really ugly!’

“F*ck!”

Li Wuliang performed the most powerful attack in his life but actually hit nothing! He was so frustrated and angry!

The impossible-to-miss technique was amazing, but there was one disadvantage about it. If the attack missed, it would hit Li Wuliang himself instead.

The impossible-to-miss technique indicated a paradox. With the impossible-to-miss technique, the attack had to hit the enemy. However, nothing really was impossible. The impossible-to-miss attack of Li Wuliang had locked the monkey up. No matter what the monkey was going to do, he had to be hit by that impossible-to-miss attack. However, Ye Xiao destroyed the monkey before Li Wuliang hit him. Well, the impossible-to-miss attack missed. If Li Wuliang wasn’t powerful enough to unleash the energy to the ground, he would have to bear the destruction of his own incredible attack!

However, this was not the most important thing at the moment. The monkey was incredibly powerful, and everybody knew it. He should be able to defend himself against Ye Xiao’s attack. Li Wuliang only wanted Ye Xiao to hold the monkey off for a while, and that was all. However…

Ye Xiao’s attack was too powerful, and he instantly killed the monkey and destroyed its body…

Li Wuliang’s ultimate saber attack missed its target, and it turned out to break the mountain into halves. The reverse impact caused a blast back on himself, and he tried so hard not to spit out blood.

Li Wuliang surely felt upset!

He had been fighting the monkey for half a month…

Ye Xiao actually killed the monkey with one sword slash!

Wasn’t it unbelievable?

‘What happened to me was incredible, and it led me to such great level in cultivation. Why is Ye Xiao even stronger than me?’

Xue Danru, Yue Shuang, Yue Han, the Flower King, the Poison King, and Xuan Bing all stared at Ye Xiao in shock.

‘That is… incredible!’

‘This monkey was an influential figure in the Limitless Ocean… How come Ye Xiao killed him with only one slash?’

‘One sword slash and the monkey became nothing but air?’

‘This is… This is more incredible than killing the other three monster animals earlier!’

Li Wuliang dragged his saber and walked over to the others. His beard stretched out like an explosion… He slapped on Ye Xiao’s shoulder and laughed. “Damn! How did you improve so fast? I have fought that evil monkey for half a month, and I was losing… You actually killed him that easily…”

As he continued to speak, he sounded more upset.

He had been through something really amazing, which boosted him up to an unimaginably high level in cultivation. He was going to show off in front of Ye Xiao and took the chance to be the big brother, but it turned out he was the little brother now.

He didn’t have the chance to show off, and Ye Xiao did.

It truly made Li Wuliang upset.

He felt like he was utterly humiliated.

Ye Xiao humphed and said, “Absolutely. I am not like you, little brother. How come you couldn’t even defeat a monkey?”

Li Wuliang angrily said, “F*ck you! Seriously? Do you want a fight with me right now?”

Ye Xiao squinted at him and said, “Oh, sure! Do you think you can win?”

Li Wuliang lowered his head and took a breath. He said, “No… I don’t think so…”

Li Wuliang surely knew how it would end. Ye Xiao was powerful enough to kill that monkey with just one sword slash. Besides, Li Wuliang had been injured by his own ultimate saber attack. If he truly fought Ye Xiao at the moment, he was going to lose!

Ye Xiao laughed and gloated. However, Li Wuliang suddenly stood straight up and said loudly, “When I get my energy recovered, I will challenge you! You can laugh as much as you want before that!”

Xue Danru and Xuan Bing both laughed.

‘What a fool.’

They hadn’t seen each other for such a long time, and the reunion brought them joy and happiness.

Ye Xiao finally got to know what had happened to Li Wuliang. He was surprised by the story, but also sighed that he couldn’t have such a great opportunity as Li Wuliang did!

When Li Wuliang and Xue Danru heard of the news about the One Meter Higher Sky, they wasted no time to come to this place. Half a month earlier, they finally reached this far. They felt tired, so they decided to get some rest.

While they were resting, the monster monkey suddenly appeared and attacked them both.
