"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Xuan saw who it was and hurriedly stood up. Just as he was about to bow, Ye Xingchen stopped him.
"My dear subject, you are injured. There is no need to be so polite."
Zhuge Xuan's face was full of guilt as he said, "Your Majesty, I have failed to live up to your trust and caused the First Legion to suffer heavy losses."
With a wave of his hand, Ye Xingchen sent a stream of pure Vital Qi into Zhuge Xuan's body to help him recover from his injuries.
"You don't have to feel guilty." Ye Xingchen sent Zhuge Xuan away from the battlefield with a stream of True Qi.
After that, he gazed at Old Ancestor Blood Bat and said, "Old Ancestor Blood Bat, you actually dared to harm your subject. You deserve death."
Ye Xingchen had rushed to the Blackwater dynasty's territory because Shangguan Xi had secretly sent him a message. Only then did he know that the Blackwater dynasty had cooperated with the Demon Sect, and that the expert sent by the Demon Sect was actually Patriarch Blood Bat, who had been in seclusion for more than ten years.
Patriarch Blood Bat cackled and said, "So, you are Ye Xingchen. If you were hiding in Dai Heng's palace, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. But, you actually dared to leave the dynasty and come here."
"That's good too. It saves me the trouble of going to Dai Heng's Royal City."
Bang!
Ye Xingchen ignored the Blood Bat Ancestor and made his move.
He stretched out his jade-like hand and pressed it in the air.
Before the eyes of the Blood Bat Old Ancestor, the palm gradually grew bigger and bigger, giving off a resplendent and holy light.
It was as if a supreme true god had stretched out his hand from the God Realm to level the mortal world.
God Hands!
Now that Ye Xingchen had entered the Heaven stage, the might of his God's Hand had become even more powerful than his Heaven grade martial skills.
Blood Bat Ancestor's expression turned grave as he sensed danger.
"Huala …"
He unfurled the cloak on his back, and a bloody aura gushed out, turning into a pair of blood wings.
Then, there seemed to be something that was about to break out of his body, wriggling at different angles.
"Puchi!"
In the next moment, a pair of ferocious blood-colored bone wings extended from his back and combined with the Blood Cloak Wings, turning into a pair of huge wings made of flesh.
Boom!
The huge blood-colored wings flashed, setting off waves of blood-colored storms.
In an instant, the speed at which Ancestor Blood Bat manipulated the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi increased, and soon, a gigantic blood bat seal was formed.
The Blood Bat Seal was like a mountain pressing down on the palm.
Bang!
The Blood Bat Imprint collided with the palm. Resplendent light erupted forth from the God's Hand, and one could faintly see a god descending from the Divine World, using a flawless palm to exterminate evil.
Kacha!
Under the astonished gaze of the Blood Bat Ancestor, the Blood Bat Imprint was crushed by God's Hand.
"What kind of martial skill is this?" Old Ancestor Blood Bat's heart trembled as a look of shock appeared on his face.
One had to know that his Blood Bat Seal was boosted by the wings on his back, increasing its strength by multiple folds. Even a greater celestial level 2 martial artist would be suppressed by his Blood Bat Seal.
Ye Xingchen had only stretched out a single palm. It didn't look like he had used much strength, but he had managed to crush his Blood Bat Seal.
"Dead people don't need to know too much," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
He didn't take Old Ancestor Blood Bat to heart. A martial artist who had just broken through to the greater celestial realm and hadn't consolidated his cultivation base was no match for him even if he cultivated the Evil Fiend Technique.
Ever since his cultivation base broke through to the middle celestial realm, his strength had reached an unfathomable level.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen also didn't know where his limit was.
Old Ancestor Blood Bat could be used to test his cultivation base.
"Don't talk nonsense. I dominated the Great Cosmological Abyss and you weren't even born yet."
Old Ancestor Blood Bat sneered. "You're dreaming if you think you can kill me with your mere middle celestial cultivation base."
Swoosh!
Old Ancestor Blood Bat activated the Blood Bat Demonic Technique, and his body gradually transformed into a Scarlet Blood Bat.
"Today, I'll show you the power of the Blood Bat Demonic Technique that I've cultivated for a hundred years."
Old Ancestor Blood Bat completely transformed into a Scarlet Blood Bat. His body was shrouded in a blood-colored light, looking sinister and evil.
"Boom!"
He flapped his blood wings, and the surrounding spirit qi gathered to form an incomparably huge Blood Bat Dharma Form. Beneath the Dharma Form was the Blood Bat Domain.
Many Scarlet Blood Bats appeared in the domain, and the battlefield instantly turned into a blood domain.
Swoosh!
The Blood Bat Dharma Form opened its eyes and shot out two streaks of scarlet light that were dozens of feet long.
"Blood Demon Descent!"
Old Ancestor Blood Bat activated his True Qi, and the domain grew larger and larger. The Blood Bat Dharma Form transformed into a sinister Blood Demon.
Blood Demons were rumored to be from the Scarlet Blood Demon Clan. They lived on blood and were extremely terrifying.
The blood-colored domain gradually expanded and enveloped Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen frowned slightly. After the blood-colored domain enveloped him, he vaguely felt his blood boiling, and there was a hint of bloodlust in his heart.
He knew that this was the Blood Demon's will influencing him.
The Blood Demon lived in the Hell Realm and couldn't descend into the Great Beginning Realm. However, the demonic technique that Old Ancestor Blood Bat cultivated could summon a trace of the Blood Demon's will.
"Haha, Ye Xingchen, you're too careless. You actually didn't block my blood-colored domain."
Old Ancestor Blood Bat laughed loudly. "I'll summon a trace of the Blood Demon's will. You can turn into a Blood Demon puppet with peace of mind!"
"You want to influence me with a mere will? What a joke!"
Ye Xingchen sneered. Suddenly, a sword light tore through the sky and slashed through the blood-colored domain.
In Old Ancestor Blood Bat's eyes, this sword light was like the sword of the heavens, the sword of the Dao. It was grand and majestic, and it could destroy all demons and ghosts.
This was Ye Xingchen's sword intent. His cultivation had broken through, and so had his sword intent, reaching the fourth level.
The fourth level of sword intent was extremely sharp, as if it could cut through everything and kill everything.
Kacha!
The blood-colored domain was cut open by the sword intent. The Blood Demon's will was destroyed by the sword intent, and the Blood Bat Dharma Form was split in two.
"The fourth level of sword intent?"
Old Ancestor Blood Bat trembled as if he had seen a ghost.
If a martial artist wanted to enter the Lesser Celestial Realm, they had to comprehend the true meaning. Many martial artists were stuck at the first level of true meaning after comprehending it.
If they wanted to enter the Middle Celestial Realm, they had to comprehend the second level of true meaning. For the Greater Celestial Realm, they had to comprehend the third level of true meaning.
And if they wanted to break through to the Nirvana Realm, they had to comprehend the fourth level of true meaning.
The Nirvana Realm was a realm that surpassed the Greater Celestial Realm. A Nirvana Realm martial artist could easily kill a Greater Celestial Realm martial artist.
As far as Old Ancestor Blood Bat knew, the Sect Leader's cultivation had reached the half-step Nirvana Realm. However, because he hadn't comprehended the fourth level of true meaning, he couldn't break through.
Ye Xingchen was only around 18 years old, and he had actually comprehended the fourth level of true meaning. Moreover, it was the sword intent with the strongest attack power among all the true meanings.
Moreover, Old Ancestor Blood Bat could feel that Ye Xingchen's sword intent contained the essence of Yin and Yang. It was extremely terrifying.
"Just what kind of monster am I fighting with?" Old Ancestor Blood Bat's heart trembled.
He held a high position in the Demon Clan, and he had seen the records of the Xuanyu territory. The Xuanyu territory was vast and boundless, and there were countless provinces. However, there weren't many geniuses like Ye Xingchen.
Old Ancestor Blood Bat had the intention to retreat. He shouted, "Ye Xingchen, take my Blood Bat Slash!"
The wings on his back flashed, and he gathered the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to form a blade of Qi. He slashed at Ye Xingchen.
At the same time, his body retreated quickly, and he fled into the distance.
Pfft!
Suddenly, a white sword light pierced through the air, piercing through Old Ancestor Blood Bat, who had fled several miles away. The sword light pierced through the back of his head and came out from the center of his eyebrows.
Ye Xingchen held the White Emperor Sword in his hand. He no longer paid attention to Old Ancestor Blood Bat. Instead, he came before Zhuge Xuan and brought him to the battlefield between the Blackwater Dynasty and Dai Heng's army.
After he left, Old Ancestor Blood Bat's body exploded with countless Sword Qi, and he was riddled with holes.
Old Ancestor Blood Bat's hideous body fell from the sky and was completely shattered.
