"So he's warning us that if we take one more step, we'll lose our lives? Does he really think he can do it?"

As Yun Xiao's words echoed, the Alliance Army instantly grasped his intent, slightly awed by his boldness.

But in the next instant, they burst into overwhelming laughter.

"Only one step?"

"I've taken two steps—so what?"

"I'll take ten!"

"Let's go, brothers, trample him!"

They not only laughed but grew even more excited, eagerly stepping forward. One by one, they lifted their legs high, making sure Yun Xiao could see them advancing.

"Die, you eunuch! Why don't you punish us?"

"You make me laugh! This pretentious fool thinks he's a Boundless Immortal!"

"He's ridiculously amusing!"

It was as if Yun Xiao had provided them with entertainment. For a moment, not only were they laughing at the scene, but the Million Starlight Palace was also swept by waves of laughter.

"This fool is truly a reckless one..."

Many elders in the Million Starlight Palace shook their heads.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiao gazed coldly at the crowd approaching with wild laughter.

"I just issued a license to kill without guilt; what's so funny about that?"

His face was indifferent. After saying this, he transformed into a white storm, charging toward the Alliance Army!

One man charging into 1,500 troops!

That figure in white stood in stark contrast to the opposing army, the sharp contrast creating a powerful visual impact.

Countless millions witnessed this scene in the Million Starlight Palace, their eyes narrowing slightly. Most hadn't expected that this celestial slave wouldn't maneuver tactically but would charge head-on!

"So what if there's 1,500 of you? I'll still force my way through!"

That white light suddenly expanded into a sphere, the power of three Burying Heaven grade calamities sweeping forth, making Yun Xiao appear even more imposing... This was his Corona, the effect of the Primordial Sphere.

However, compared to the torrent of geniuses opposite him, it was still far too little.

The crowd was like the bright moon; Yun Xiao was like a grain of rice!

And in that instant, that tiny grain shot out a streak of azure light from his hand!

That azure light carried the power of three calamities, with Yun Xiao's Buddha's Treasure Spirit seated upon it—equivalent to a tiny figure wielding the Flying Sword, instantly soaring across the starry expanse!

"Watch out for the Flying Sword!"

One after another, casual and unhurried warnings spread.

Their nonchalance was because Yun Xiao had only one Flying Sword, and with so many people present, even if the sword was strong, most believed they wouldn't be the unlucky one!

And in the next moment, they could gang up on Yun Xiao!

Even now, they continued to mock and laugh at him.

Suddenly, Yun Xiao's azure spirit sword vanished, and a blizzard swept across the starry battlefield.

"What the hell?"

A genius from the Dragon Devil Clan in the Fourth Baptism Realm saw a sudden flash of azure light before his eyes.

His mouth and the back of his head burst in a spray of blood!

A piercing hole bored through his skull!

He stood rigid, half his face still wearing a smile. But he was utterly dead!

Even his spirit was seized by the Buddha's Treasure Spirit, exorcized in midair, perishing amidst his screams.

A Dragon Devil Clan genius was slain in an instant!

This was the true might of Yun Xiao in the Third Baptism Realm, bearing a Boundless Corona.

But was it over? This was only the beginning!

In an instant, within the crowd, one genius after another—still laughing—had their mouths and the backs of their heads precisely blown apart!

One by one, their spirits were precisely exorcized by the Buddha's Treasure Spirit!

The Flying Sword swept across. Only a few managed to dodge in terror. Wherever the sword passed, bodies with pierced foreheads exploded and flew, each dying amidst laughter, with only a flicker of astonishment in their eyes.

So many tragic deaths occurred at once. As the over 1,500 troops charged forward, chaos erupted!

"He's massacring us!"

Screams spread. Faces that had been mocking turned to fear—tongues tied, eyes blank.

They halted in terror, not daring to take another step. Recalling Yun Xiao's earlier warning, they felt chills down their spines, hair standing on end, and cold sweat on their foreheads... some even subconsciously covered their mouths!

Over 1,500 geniuses were cowed in an instant!

"One Flying Sword instantly killed dozens of geniuses from Heavenly Monarch sects. Who else in the Grand Assembly Arena can do that?"

"His attack power is this fierce..."

They all knew Yun Xiao was strong, but they hadn't imagined he would be so overwhelming.

They were geniuses, not mere chickens and dogs. Even those in the Fifth Baptism Realm shouldn't be able to slaughter them like foot soldiers!

At that moment, many were indeed terrified.

However, these people were worthy of being geniuses from various Heavenly Monarch sects.

Mockery aside, once they realized the opponent was formidable, they adjusted immediately.

"Two fists can't fight four hands; he has only one sword!"

"Let's join forces to kill him!"

"His attack is strong, but he has only one life!"

This wasn't a rallying cry from the Young Dragon Lord, but each genius quickly reacted.

In the moment after their fright, these various geniuses unleashed their Sword Souls, Life Sigils, and celestial treasure to clear the way.

Demons, Martial Immortals, and others fixed their eyes on Yun Xiao, roaring as they charged forward!

"One thousand five hundred geniuses of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, each chosen from among countless trillions. If we can't kill a mere celestial slave, we might as well be worthless!"

They held themselves in the highest esteem; none saw themselves as cannon fodder. In their own worlds, they were legends admired by an untold number of subjects—unparalleled geniuses capable of building their own harems.

The radiance formed by Flying Swords, Life Sigils, celestial treasures, and martial techniques surged like a tidal wave of stars, flashing dazzling lights and erupting with grand, destructive roars, all crashing toward Yun Xiao.

"Forget someone in the Fifth Baptism Realm—even those in the Sixth or Seventh Baptism Realm could die under our combined assault!"

"He wants to hold out? Tribulation power is limited! Except for Boundless Immortals, no one can fight endlessly!"

These convictions were the very reason the Alliance Army did not fear Yun Xiao. In their minds, no matter how strong someone was, they would have to retreat before this group of future overlords of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River.

This was their belief!

Facing this torrent of conviction, Yun Xiao, who had just retrieved his Flying Sword, showed no hint of carelessness in his eyes. Nor was there any fear!

He remained as calm as ever, even somewhat carefree and graceful. His excellent state of mind allowed him to tread smoothly amidst such extreme assaults.

The light in his eyes changed!

In the next instant, the three-inch Flying Sword beneath his feet transformed into a six-foot Sovereign Sword. Standing upon it, his robes fluttered, exuding an elegant demeanor.

At the same time, he unfurled the violet Runic Umbrella!

The umbrella's ribs were formed by nine dragon heads, arrogantly overlooking all rivals.

"Killing is just a game."

The young man, riding his Sovereign Sword and holding the Runic Umbrella, showed not a hint of fear as he charged forward, crashing into the destructive storm ahead!

This time, it was truly one against over 1,000!

It wasn't against cannon fodder, but true elites!

"He's dead meat!"

As Yun Xiao boldly faced the murderous charge, many geniuses had a gleam in their eyes, their mocking voices rising once more.

"Did they cut off not just his manhood but his brain too?"

They still dared to laugh!

Amidst the overwhelming killing intent, Yun Xiao confronted the storm of Flying Swords, Life Sigils, celestial treasures, and various celestial techniques.

Swarms of demons, Martial Immortals, and True Devils awaited, ready to pounce once his defenses crumbled.

"Rise!" Yun Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he advanced.

HUM!

He shook the Runic Umbrella in his hand. Countless icy violet clouds surged up, condensing into nine layers. The clouds roiled like nine real worlds, forming a canopy above him.

This was an Upper Burying Heaven grade celestial technique of the Harmony Divine Palace, known as the Nine Realms Ice Clouds. When the Nine Realms Ice Clouds manifested on the Runic Umbrella, Yun Xiao seemed to exist in another realm, surrounded by nine layers of defense.

As soon as the Nine Realms Ice Clouds appeared, the youths nearby couldn't recognize it. But over at the Million Starlight Palace, it caused an incredible sensation—the sheer difficulty of this technique was beyond imagination.

The nine layers of icy cloud waves enveloped Yun Xiao, causing countless geniuses to lose sight of him. They could only see the Nine Realms Ice Clouds crashing into the crowd. Many Sword Souls, Life Sigils, and celestial treasures struck empty air, even colliding with each other, causing internal chaos.

Within the violet clouds, it was as if a nine-headed dragon was soaring, rampaging through the crowd.

But that wasn't the end.

In the next instant, snowflakes began to drift over the battlefield, turning it bitterly cold. Amidst the falling snow, a streak of azure sword light glided through the ice clouds like a phantom, elusive and unpredictable.

"Dreamless Drifting Snow! That's the Sovereign Sword technique from the Yin Sword Embryo Sword Art!" A sudden wave of shock surged in the Million Starlight Palace.

The astonishment had only just begun.

With the Nine Realms Ice Clouds as his shield and Dreamless Drifting Snow as his blade, the youth rolled up ice clouds and snowflakes. It was as if he was riding his sword through the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, the azure sword tracing a defiant path as he charged across the battlefield.

At that moment, Yun Xiao was like a cavalryman riding his sword, crashing into the crowd with incredible speed and extraordinary agility.

Wherever his Sovereign Sword pointed, heads flew off in terror.

"Ah?"

The 1,500-strong Alliance Army, which had just steadied themselves, was instantly struck with fear. They turned and fled in panic, losing all composure as if they had seen the god of death.
