But Ye Jingyu was different. Even though his power still lagged behind Sakuraon, the moment Sakuraon drew his spear, a glint of light flashed across the Samsara Eye between his brows.

Under the illumination of the Samsara Eye, the seven spear shadows visible to everyone else resolved into just one... Seven Star Splitting Sky—only one actually split the sky; it was just that Sakuraon's speed was so incredible that it created seven afterimages...

Since he saw through the essence of this move, what did Ye Jingyu have to fear? The Tyrant Origin Power in his body stirred, and instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing directly toward the dazzling seven shooting stars...

"Go with the Flow!" Ye Jingyu roared, but the Sky Sovereign Blade in his hand merely flicked. He touched the spear shaft lightly, just a gentle tap, and shattered the trajectory of the spear.

The seven spear shadows instantly vanished without a trace... And the Sky Sovereign Blade in Ye Jingyu’s hand swept toward Sakuraon’s wrist, skimming right past the spear’s shaft.

Before it even reached him, a sharp blade aura erupted... Sakuraon was greatly alarmed.

He had never imagined Ye Jingyu could shatter his move so easily. Feeling the blade aura tearing through the air toward him, he loosened his grip on the spear and retreated rapidly, barely evading Ye Jingyu’s lightning-fast strike.

But Ye Jingyu would never let such an opportunity slip. He stepped forward and swung his blade at Sakuraon once more...

In an instant, the wind and clouds shifted color. Waves of immense energy constantly erupted from Ye Jingyu’s body, and the Sky Sovereign Blade in his hand transformed into a gigantic demonic blade, appearing directly before Sakuraon and stabbing straight toward his chest...

Sakuraon was deeply shocked and quickly dodged to the left. But after moving barely half a step, he felt a sharp pain in his left arm...

Looking closely, the Sky Sovereign Blade, wreathed in purple blade light, had somehow appeared beside him... Samsara Annihilation Blade?

This was precisely Ye Jingyu's self-created supreme art, Samsara Annihilation—everything was like an illusion... Before he could even process the wound on his left arm, Sakuraon saw another immense blade light flare up above his forehead, hacking down viciously...

He quickly retreated backward, but after taking just three steps, before he could escape the massive blade light, he saw the tip of a blade materialize at his back... And he was rushing straight toward the blade tip.

At such speed, completely evading was already impossible. Sakuraon could only instinctively shift his body...

Yet, the sharp tip of the blade pierced his armor without mercy, sinking in as if it were soft tofu... A surge of intense pain nearly made Sakuraon lose control, but an even larger blade light reappeared in front of him, slicing toward him with unimaginable speed...

With a "Chii," a spurt of blood shot out; Sakuraon’s entire ear had been sheared off by that single strike... The intense stinging sensation jolted Sakuraon awake.

Looking closely, he realized there was no wound on his left arm or chest. Instead, his entire right ear was gone, and a massive gash marked his right shoulder.

If not for the Demonic Heaven Armor he wore, his entire arm might have been severed... Gazing at the blue blood and feeling the searing pain in his shoulder and ear, Sakuraon finally understood: he was injured.

Truly injured. He had been wounded?

Wounded by someone whose strength was, at most, at the Martial Saint realm? How was this possible?

Not only was his face filled with disbelief, but Shu Yun, standing nearby, also stared at the scene in complete astonishment. He hadn't felt the terror of the Samsara Annihilation Blade; he only knew that when Ye Jingyu struck, Sakuraon seemed unable to dodge, allowing the blow to land...

Only Sakuraon vaguely recalled that strike, wondering what kind of blade it was that made it impossible for him to distinguish the real from the fake? Why did everything feel identical in that moment?

However, after the initial stupor, Sakuraon was utterly enraged—furious, berserk, incandescent with rage... "I will kill you!" a roar tore from Sakuraon’s throat.

Streams of blue light suddenly shot out from within his body, and powerful demonic energy surged toward the heavens. Blue rays engulfed him entirely, and an aura of complete destruction erupted...

"My Lord, you must not!" Seeing Sakuraon suddenly undo his seal and unleash such immense power, Shu Yun’s face changed... He was not meant to exist in this world.

If powerful entities sensed his aura, could he possibly survive? But Sakuraon, lost in madness, paid no heed.

The demonic energy enveloping him grew thicker, and the blue light brighter. Ye Jingyu, standing before him, felt the constantly strengthening aura, and his own expression changed drastically.

What power was this? It was definitely a strength surpassing that of Xuanyuan Xiao Zhan...

Who exactly was he? Why did he possess such overwhelming power?

Without a second thought, Ye Jingyu mobilized the Tyrant Origin Power within him and unleashed Flowing Clouds, Water, and Stream at full speed, charging toward the center of the Blue Dream Marsh. Sakuraon’s inherent power was already superior to his.

Had it not been for his Samsara Eye discerning the true essence, those two initial strikes could have severely wounded him. Now that he had broken his seal, how powerful was he?

To fight someone like this—wasn't that suicide? "You think you can leave?" Seeing Ye Jingyu vanish from his spot in an instant, Sakuraon coldly snorted.

He stepped forward, covering several hundred zhang in a single stride, following closely behind Ye Jingyu... The very moment Sakuraon broke his seal, several powerful presences across the Nine Provinces Continent sensed the change.

Especially in a cave located closest to them, within the Heavenly Gang Mountain Range, Dugu Ba Chen, who appeared completely devoid of aura, suddenly opened his eyes... "Demonic energy?

Has the Demon Clan descended once more?" A calm statement issued from his lips, and his body slowly rose. He took a single step forward, covering a distance of several thousand meters in that stride...

In just a few steps, he had traversed tens of thousands of meters—a speed even faster than Ni Bo's... Bai Xiao Di of the East Sea, Xuanyuan Jue of Tian Yuan City, and Huangfu Yun of the Western Chu Empire also simultaneously detected this powerful aura.

However, sensing that Dugu Ba Chen was already moving in that direction, these figures merely showed a flicker of confusion before closing their eyes once more... (Tragic Brazil, tragic Kaká, tragic jinx-maker Pelé!
