In the vast expanse of the starry sky, the ship of Fog Obscured Alms was being watched by countless fierce eyes as it traveled across, making all the passengers on the ship feel uneasy.

It was as though they were being driven into a land of peril, with murderous intent lurking in every corner.

The middle-aged man’s calm voice sounded, “Don’t worry, everyone. The guys we encountered along the way can only make a living in the starry sky. They are not powerful characters.

“I am not bragging, but in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, under normal circumstances, no one dares to touch our Fog Obscured Alms!”

He spoke with unwavering confidence.

However, before everyone could relax, a scream rang out from the ship, “Someone...is coming!”

Startled, the fierce middle-aged man snapped his head up.

In the distant starry sky, a lone and slender figure was coming this way. She wore a purple robe that matched her purple hair and she carried a battle spear on her back. Her beautiful face was masked by an ice-cold, detached expression.

She clearly came alone, but as she approached, the nearby starry sky undulated without a sound, with stars trembling as if they were about to fall from the sky.

Some ruthless figures who were lying in ambush on the nearby stars had no time to dodge before their bodies exploded into blood and flesh.

In purple robes and with purple hair, battle spear in hand, she strode forward like the goddess of slaughter. The starry sky quaked at her every step!

The boundary ship came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, unable to push forward, as though caught in the grip of an invincible giant hand.

On the ship, the middle-aged man’s face was deathly pale, and his body was drenched in cold sweat. An indescribable sense of fear coursed through his body like an ice-cold current.

Moments before, he had confidently reassured everyone that no one in the Ancient Nebula Underworld dared to provoke the Fog Obscured Alms.

But in the blink of an eye, a great calamity of death descended on them!

The middle-aged man was paralyzed, unable to speak or move a muscle.

The other passengers on the ship were all frozen with fear.

Who was she?

How could she be so terrifying?

The air felt suffocating and heavy, and each breath felt like a struggle.

In the far distance, the woman in purple came to a stop, running her indifferent and emotionless eyes across the ship.

Anyone who met her gaze trembled in fear, as though they were being watched by the eyes of death, even their minds and wills almost broke down.

“Evil creature, you finally appeared…” As the purple-clothed woman’s emotionless voice reverberated across the ship, she already launched into action.

A slender, fair hand extended into the air and made a grabbing motion.

Boom!

Around the boundary ship, the void collapsed inward like a water balloon had been crushed, causing terrifying unpredictable energy flows and deafening earthshaking roars.

As the ship was about to be crushed, a ray of divine, dreamy light shot up.

Instantly—

The collapsing and rumbling void came to a standstill, as if it had been frozen. The terrifying chaotic energy flows also bizarrely stopped.

Then, everything faded, leaving only the boundary ship!

At the same time, a beautiful and illusory figure walked out from the boundary ship, standing tall in midair, with strands of law power swirling around her body. Light cascaded around her, as if she was a divine being.

𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

It was none other than Xi!

Swoosh!

It was quickly followed by Lin Xun’s tall figure. He stood beside Xi, his handsome face serious and solemn. He did not expect the purple-clothed woman called Yanxing to come so soon.

How did she find him?

“Turns out you have a protector.” Yanxing’s eyes flashed a threatening purple light as she shifted them over to Xi. “It’s just that, do you think you can stop me?”

Xi flourished her sleeve and the Fog Obscured Alms ship was immediately teleported away, disappearing from this star field.

Only then did she say aloud, “Yezi, take him away. I’ll handle that bitch.”

The word ‘bitch’ clearly showed Xi’s disgust and disdain for Yanxing.

“Okay.” Yezi flew out and agreed right away.

A wisp of sword light emanated from him and shrouded Lin Xun before it darted straight for the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

“Go after that evil creature.” Yanxing wrinkled her brows. She did not take action but just issued a command.

Xi’s appearance triggered a faint feeling of danger within her, so she dared not distract herself at this moment.

“Yes!”

Two figures suddenly appeared in mid-air. One was a man in a gray robe and the other was an old man in fine robes. Both radiated the terrifying aura unique to the Emperor Stage.

In a flash, the two went after Yezi.

Xi also frowned, but she also did not do anything.

“Now, only you and I are left.”

With a casual motion, Yanxing took the spear off her back and held it in her hand. Her purple, menacing eyes were swirling with ice-cold murderous intent. “How about a fight to the death?”

“Alright.”

Xi stretched her beautiful and slender figure as she said in a serious tone, “It’s been a long, long time since I have fought with full-strength in battle. If you disappoint me, I promise that you will die an ugly death.”

Yanxing giggled out loud, “Alright.”

With a flash, she swung the battle spear.

Boom!

The starry sky was instantly plunged into chaos. Countless stars that were already swaying suddenly exploded in that moment, and chaotic energy spread in all directions like a tide.

“Fighting here is a bit restrictive. Do you dare to come with me and fight elsewhere?”

Xi’s figure whirled in the void, and in a flash, she was teleporting across the vast starry sky.

“Why wouldn’t I dare to?” Yanxing stepped forward and with a boom, she followed after her, breaking the constraints of the void.

……

“Heavens, what kind of existences are they?”

“They...at least should be at the Emperor Stage!”

“Emperor Stage? More like the Ancestor Stage. Didn’t you see the starry sky quake when the woman appeared?”

“Frightening!”

Far away, on the boundary ship that had avoided the calamity thanks to Xi’s help, the fierce middle-aged man and others finally recovered from their shock and terror.

Although Xi and Yanxing were gone, their terrifying aura still lingered in the starry sky, which was enough to make people’s souls leave their bodies.

“Why are we discussing it now?! Quickly run!” The middle-aged man commanded.

……

In the starry sky, Yezi turned into a stream of light and teleported across the void.

“Yezi, will Xi be okay?” Lin Xun asked worriedly.

“Of course.” Yezi answered without any wavering. “Although she has lost her memories like I have, I sense that she must have been an extremely extraordinary person in the past.”

Lin Xun sighed. “Yes, she is indeed incredible.

Watching over the Omega Secret-Realm like a gatekeeper, she had spent endless, unimaginable years in the Ancient Nebula Road. Every time she appeared, she could solve any problem.

Even when she faced the taboo law power in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, not a single flicker of fear ever crossed her face.

She had forgotten who she was.

She only knew that she had been in the Omega-Secret Realm ever since she had regained consciousness.

A long, long time ago, Xuan Shangchen, the head of the Xuan Clan, had once entered the Omega Secret-Realm and passed the nine levels of the Great Azure Cloud Path and even cracked the door open slightly.

Even though he failed in the end, he was now the head of the Xuan Clan, possessed earthshaking might, and regarded as the most powerful Sword Emperor in the starry sky!

Furthermore, Xi had witnessed Xuan Shangchen’s growth!

This fact alone was enough to highlight Xi’s incredible background.

However, her opponent this time was also incredibly strong. In the primeval era, she had come from the other side of the cosmos to hunt down Lu Boya and Luo Qingxun, forcing them to hide in the lower domain...

This was why Lin Xun was worried about Xi.

“Lin Xun, they are catching up.” Yezi cried out. “One is at the fourth level of the Emperor Stage, and the other is at the fifth. I’m confident I could handle one in a one-on-one fight, but two...I will fight with my all!”

Lin Xun couldn’t help but look behind him.

In the starry sky behind him, two terrifying Emperor figures ripped through the void’s restraints, closing in on him with alarming speed.

Lin Xun had seen the two on Tong Mountain of the Divine Apparatus Profound Sect. Both were old monsters of the Emperor Stage who followed Yanxing’s orders.

He just did not expect the two to possess such terrifying cultivation!

“Lin Xun, there’s another problem.” Yezi said aloud, “The Star Field where the Ancient Nebula Underworld is located is also shrouded in taboo law power. If we fail to quickly get rid of the two opponents behind us, we will likely be targeted by the taboo law power.”

Lin Xun’s pupils shrank.

Yanxing herself was already terrifying enough. If their presence was detected by the taboo law power and it alarmed the new Nameless Esteemed Emperor...

The consequences were unimaginable.

Lin Xun’s heart sank.

Before they had reached the Ancient Nebula Underworld, a terrible catastrophe had already descended upon them, something that Lin Xun had never imagined before.

“Lin Xun, I will stay here to stop those two. You head to the Ancient Nebula Underworld alone.” Yezi decided. “If I survive, I will go find you.”

His voice was as calm as always.

However, the determination in his voice made Lin Xun’s expression dramatically change, and he refused right away. “Yezi, listen to me this time! We are just killing two old bastards, there’s no need to risk your life at all!”

The last time, when he was surrounded by Ice Devouring Sword Emperor and the others, Yezi already fought with everything he had without regard for his own safety. Lin Xun still vividly remembered those scenes. How would he let the same thing happen again?

Yezi said softly, “Lin Xun, I am a sword spirit, I am not afraid of death. Throughout history, weapon spirits exist to protect their masters. You may not be my master, but if I can die for you...what’s the harm?”

Lin Xun spoke firmly “So what if you’re sword spirit? Who the hell decided that sword spirit must throw away their lives like an idiot? Remember, as long as I am here, even if we are really at the end of our rope, we must die in battle together!”

Yezi was stunned.

Lin Xun’s angry words left an impact on him like never before, leaving him speechless for a long time. Suddenly, he grinned, “I suddenly remembered that someone had said those same words to me before.”

“What?”

Yezi took a deep breath before he answered. “It’s better to die together than to live alone. This way, even if we die, it will be a happy death!”

Lin Xun resonated with those words. “This is how a real man should be!

“But…” His dark eyes were unfathomable. “We are not at the end of our rope just yet. Yezi, if I can buy you a moment of time, can you kill those two old bastards?”
