"Crack..." First to shatter was the body of Feng Bo. Though he was the ancestor of wind, his current form was merely manifested essence of wind power condensed by divine thought, utterly incapable of withstanding such an assault. The figure with eight human heads and a tiger body with ten tails slowly dissolved, finally vanishing entirely.

Next came Zhurong's thick arms, followed by the two fire dragons beneath his feet. His body, too, began to fracture under the relentless attack of those wind dragons.

Witnessing the complete disintegration of Zhurong and Tian Wu, although Han Ba’s expression was grim, she charged forward without hesitation. No matter what, she had to buy Ye Jingyu some time—even if that sliver of time was negligible. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she would not surrender. As long as Ye Jingyu lived, they could be reformed at any moment...

Yet, after destroying only seven or eight wind dragons, she began to falter, her body gradually dissipating.

Watching Han Ba’s form also begin to shatter, Ye Jingyu charged forward without a second thought, unleashing every supreme technique he possessed. But the surrounding storm was too fierce. These wind dragons moved within the gale as easily as fish in water, their power greatly amplified. How could Ye Jingyu possibly endure it?

"Screech..." A long gash was torn across his shoulder, a bloody streak appeared across his lower abdomen, and half of one ear was ripped away. Blood stained his garments, and his strength was rapidly depleting.

Facing the twelve wind dragons lunging at him once more, Ye Jingyu was nearly overcome by despair. Was this truly his end? Had he come all this way only to die before saving Luo Ling'er? How could he be such a useless man?

No, he could not die; he absolutely would not die. The wind elemental power within him circulated ceaselessly, causing waves of cyan light to emanate from his body. Slowly, he raised his right hand.

Since you are wind dragons, then I shall use the power of the wind to shatter you! Wind Spirit Sunder Finger!

He took a step forward and pointed his finger. Immediately, a thread of green light began to spiral continuously, instantly sinking into the body of the foremost wind dragon. That dragon shattered completely, transforming into countless motes of wind elemental power, which were then absorbed by the might of that single strike.

It then twisted toward the neighboring dragon, piercing it in the blink of an eye. The green light grew ever brighter. Almost instantaneously, this one finger had pierced the bodies of all twelve wind dragons. The green radiance, formed from wind elemental power, seemed almost substantial. In this moment of life and death, he had actually created such a supreme art.

The spiraling green beam shot toward the heavens. As more wind elemental power poured in, the power of the strike grew immense. Finally, Ye Jingyu’s finger could no longer bear the pressure, and it shattered entirely...

That streak of green light pierced directly into the sky, followed by a deafening, thunderous roar...

Outside, Feng Yan, who was pushing the jade pendant to its limits, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The jade pendant shuddered violently, as if it were about to crack...

Feng Yan was shocked. Disregarding the fact that a large portion of his vital essence had already been consumed, he opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful, redoubling his efforts to activate the pendant...

Within the space contained by the jade pendant, Ye Jingyu saw a hole blasted in the sky by his attack. Just as he was about to fly out with all his might, he saw a vastly larger wind dragon emerge from the opening, opening its massive jaws to bite down on him—a wind dragon stretching thousands of feet long, its aura of energy so intensely concentrated...

That last strike had nearly depleted all the wind elemental power within Ye Jingyu; unleashing a second strike was impossible. Seeing the rapidly approaching wind dragon, Ye Jingyu sank into despair...

It was precisely at that moment that the Eastern Emperor Bell, which had been suspended in his Sea of Consciousness battling the Immortal Slaying Sword, suddenly transmitted a message—it had completely eradicated the restrictive seals within the Immortal Slaying Sword...

Ye Jingyu’s heart soared. With a single gesture, the Eastern Emperor Bell manifested above his head...

"Pangu opens heaven and earth, Eastern Emperor establishes the cosmos, fix them for me!"

Streams of cyan light continually poured forth from the Eastern Emperor Bell. The surrounding storm began to calm, and even the monstrous, thousand-foot-long wind dragon was immobilized by the cyan light.

The Eastern Emperor Bell, when wielded by Donghuang Taiyi in ancient times, could hold the entire cosmos steady and suppress the Three Realms. Although Ye Jingyu could not unleash its full power now, using it to stabilize a miniature world of wind such as this was effortless.

The Eastern Emperor Bell wasn't freezing the gale; it was freezing the entire world. In other words, the space within this jade pendant was now utterly locked down.

Seizing this opportunity, Ye Jingyu summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword he had just subdued and shot toward the sky...

The Immortal Slaying Sword, being one of the Four Great Ancient Fiendgod Swords, found it child’s play to tear open a space already stabilized by the Eastern Emperor Bell. With a flash of light, a huge rift appeared in the heavens...

Ye Jingyu seized the moment and shot straight through...

Feng Yan was busy suppressing the jade pendant when he suddenly noticed the light of the pendant dim. Before he could grasp what was happening, a hole abruptly appeared in the jade, followed instantly by a beam of black light shooting out that pierced directly through his forehead. Immediately following this, a figure shot out—it was Ye Jingyu...

His eyes held utter disbelief. He simply could not comprehend how Ye Jingyu had escaped this Wind Spirit Realm? Especially how he had shattered the jade pendant directly from the inside? How was this possible? Without reaching the Profound Immortal Realm, escaping from within was simply impossible!

Ye Jingyu certainly wasn't going to answer his questions. The Eastern Emperor Bell instantly shot out and slammed brutally into Feng Yan’s body, shattering him completely, along with his soul—utter annihilation...

Watching Feng Yan’s dissipating form and his soul vanishing entirely, Ye Jingyu let out a long sigh of relief. He was finally dead; this vengeance was settled...

Glancing at the green jade pendant, which was now beginning to crack apart, Ye Jingyu recalled the Immortal Slaying Sword, summoned a streak of light, and sped directly toward the Ancient Splendor Continent. A collapsing magical artifact held no attraction for him now; the most crucial thing was reaching the Ancient Splendor Continent...

Outside Fangtian City on the Ancient Splendor Continent, Liang Xiaoke’s body was already beginning to break down. Despite his formidable physique, facing several opponents stronger than himself proved too much to bear...

Feeling his life force draining away, Liang Xiaoke sighed inwardly...

"Jingyu, Big Brother can no longer keep you company. Take good care of yourself, cherish the people around you, and look after my wives for me. Also, I’m giving that temptress Yao Rao to you—no use letting good things go to outsiders, don't be polite about it, brother..." he murmured to himself. Gazing at the massive axe wielded by Zhan Batian descending upon him, Liang Xiaoke slowly closed his eyes. But just as his eyes were about to close completely, his periphery caught sight of a silver gleam shooting down from the horizon...
