Chapter 1148: Sword Domain

To conserve primal power, Ye Yuan's defensive perimeter was already very small.

Under the Divine King Domain, the originally small defensive perimeter was still full of flaws.

But Kan Qingzi was horrified to discover that Ye Yuan's flaws were actually getting smaller and smaller.

Within the two-thousand-zhang sword domain, Ye Yuan seemed like a small boat on the vast ocean, buffeted by wind and rain, on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

However, Ye Yuan's defensive perimeter was becoming increasingly smooth and unimpeded!

At first, Kan Qingzi didn't pay it any mind.

But as time passed, the obstacles to breaking through Ye Yuan's defense grew greater and greater, and he finally noticed something amiss.

"Sword Domain! This... this is impossible! You haven't broken through to the Divine Realm yet, how could you have mastered the Sword Domain!" Kan Qingzi exclaimed in shock.

Within Kan Qingzi's Divine King Domain, he saw everything as clear as day.

A small area within the two-thousand-zhang Divine King Domain was slowly slipping out of his control.

You see, within the Divine King Domain, he was a god!

But now, he could feel that this small area was being hollowed out bit by bit!

A sword domain of extreme purity was slowly taking shape!

As Tian Li had said, this Divine King Domain was merely a deformed product under the current Heavenly Dao.

Fusing artistic conceptions and comprehending the Divine King Domain was the necessary path for today's peak Divine Kings.

In terms of power, it was naturally much stronger than ordinary Divine King experts.

But true domain power was not this deformed product of fusion.

Kan Qingzi had inherited Su Wo's legacy and knew that only true Divine Path experts could master domain power!

In ancient times, Divine Path experts did not divert their attention to comprehend multiple supreme true intents.

They would comprehend a single artistic conception to great perfection, then comprehend the laws of the Divine Path and break through to the Divine Realm.

In the end, they formed their own Divine Path Domain!

Kan Qingzi had infiltrated the Eternal Medicine Garden and knew that Ye Yuan had long comprehended the Divine King Domain.

But he found it strange why Ye Yuan had never displayed it.

He didn't know that Ye Yuan had long shattered his own Divine King Domain to focus on studying the sword.

Yet Kan Qingzi never dreamed that Ye Yuan would comprehend the true Sword Domain in battle!

A pure Sword Domain!

Though both were domains, the true Sword Domain was far stronger than the Divine King Domain!

This... was the true power of the Great Dao's origin!

It was domain power condensed from the laws of the Divine Path!

Within this domain, Ye Yuan was the absolute god!

"No! I must kill him before he completes it!"

Kan Qingzi's face turned cold, and murderous intent flared.

"Ji Qingyun, you forced my hand! Xunfeng One-Character Sword, kill!"

Kan Qingzi raised the 'Ziya' divine sword, and his entire being exuded an aura that pierced through everything.

This sword strike was Kan Qingzi's strongest martial technique.

He never expected Ye Yuan to force him to use this move!

As the word 'kill' left his mouth, Kan Qingzi's figure suddenly vanished, and all his sword intent condensed into a single line, cutting through the sky!

This was an extremely high level of control over sword intent; it could be said that Kan Qingzi's sword intent was at its peak among Void Xuan experts.

The power of this strike was such that even Ao Qian's Dragon Soaring the Four Seas might not be able to block it!

The terrifying power spread out, making the hearts of those concerned about Ye Yuan skip a beat.

This strike was too strong!

Even from such a distance, they could feel the piercing sword aura.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound of collision!

Kan Qingzi's eyes narrowed, and his expression was one of horror!

Ye Yuan had actually blocked his strike—with the tip of his sword!

The two divine artifacts collided, and sword aura overflowed.

Wild sword intent scattered everywhere, cutting rocks and trees into pieces.

Everyone was shocked; they couldn't understand what was happening on the back mountain to cause such a commotion.

Feeling the scattered sword intent, Hei Meng's expression changed drastically.

There were two streams of sword intent; one was his elder brother's.

The other, no need to guess, was definitely Ye Yuan's!

He simply couldn't understand how a mere Dao Xuan Sixth Layer could achieve such a feat!

Could it be that a Dao Xuan Sixth Layer could match his elder brother, who was comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings?

This... was a bit too far-fetched, wasn't it?

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck directly onto the island.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed again!

"Master Ye has broken through! He... he's fine!" Zhao Qian exclaimed joyfully.

Old Man Tan stared at the rolling tribulation clouds, his heart filled with shock.

What kind of freak was this Ji Qingyun, to be able to fight the Tongtian Island Master to this extent?

Even now that he had broken through, he was only at Dao Xuan Seventh Layer!

The Ji Qingyun who had returned could not be judged by common sense.

"Do you hear 'Ziya's' reluctance? It can be defeated, but it's unwilling to be defeated like this! Though you inherited Su Wo's legacy, you failed to grasp the essence of his sword intent and instead took a crooked path. Someone like you doesn't deserve to wield a sword!"

At the moment when Zhuxie and Ziya clashed, Ye Yuan's Sword Domain was finally complete.

After shattering the Divine King Domain, he had finally recondensed domain power!

And this time, it was true domain power.

Perhaps, in the current Divine Realm, it was unique.

Though it was only two zhang in size, within those two zhang, Ye Yuan was the absolute master!

Not even the Divine King Domain of a Void Xuan expert could compare!

And now, Kan Qingzi was within those two zhang.

"Chi chi chi..."

The terrifying sword intent instantly shattered his Divine King Domain, completely destroying the Divine King Domain within the two-zhang range.

"Pfft!"

The sword intent containing the laws of the Divine Path almost instantly breached Kan Qingzi's protective primal power, severely wounding him!

"Boom!"

A heavenly tribulation struck, but when it reached Ye Yuan's two-zhang range, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier and dissipated into nothing.

The power of the heavenly tribulation couldn't even break through his Sword Domain!

Kan Qingzi collapsed limply to the ground, his body riddled with holes.

Ye Yuan's Sword Domain was like a meat grinder, completely crushing him.

"No... impossible!"

Even now, Kan Qingzi still couldn't believe what was happening.

How could a martial artist at Dao Xuan Sixth Layer defeat him?

And, when he possessed a divine artifact!

Looking at the dying Kan Qingzi, Ye Yuan showed little pity.

In the world of martial arts, killing was not inherently wrong.

But Kan Qingzi's methods were too despicable.

Most importantly, he had masterminded the murder of Zhao Xingchen.

For that alone, Ye Yuan had to kill him!

Ye Yuan walked slowly to Kan Qingzi and said calmly, "We have some history between us. If it weren't for your killing Zhao Xingchen, I might have let you live. Now, do you have any last words?"

"Ha... haha... cough cough cough..."

Kan Qingzi suddenly burst into laughter, but due to his severe injuries, he coughed violently.

"Ji Qingyun, you are indeed a genius! But... you have inherited Jue Tian's legacy; the demon race won't let you off! Cough... cough!"

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Is this your last words..."
