218 The Gaze From the Towering Back

Why did a huge crack appear in the sky? Why were there mountains of corpses on the ground? What exactly happened?

The dragon clan had always been extremely powerful and had never submitted to anyone. Now, there was actually such a figure who could make the dragon clan regard him as their master and fight against the terrifying creatures from the crack.

Ye Xuan had so many questions on his mind. He wanted to get a closer look, but the figure was too far away. He couldn’t see the man’s face clearly at all. He could only see the back of the majestic figure.

Even this back view was extraordinary. He bore the weight of the world on his shoulders and stood on the head of the divine dragon. It was as if he was standing at the peak of the world, protecting its peace.

Although Ye Xuan didn’t know what was behind the abyss-like crack, he was certain that it was not friendly to this world from the bloody and ominous aura. However, he vaguely sensed a familiar aura coming from the crack.

Spiritual energy exploded in the sky, causing spiritual power fluctuations, so much so that the space became distorted, and fragments rained down everywhere. If one was accidentally sucked into such distortions, they would be in danger of being crushed into pieces. The void swallowed everything in its path.

The aftershock was already so powerful; one could imagine how terrifying the battle between the two sides was. It was already beyond Ye Xuan’s imagination.

The man’s combat power was formidable, but the creature behind the crack was also a terrifying existence. Ye Xuan only caught a glimpse of the battle momentarily and his eyes felt sore and swollen. There was a burning sensation in his pupils.

The battle left such a huge impact on him even though he had not experienced this firsthand. What he was witnessing now was merely the memory of the past stored in the Dragon Pearl.

With his current cultivation, he would probably be turned into ashes before he could even get close.

“This battle is too shocking. I’m afraid that this man’s cultivation can’t be measured by modern day standards,” Ye Xuan sighed.

His eyes were filled with respect and admiration. He didn’t know when he would be able to reach such a realm.

Based on Ye Xuan’s current combat level, coupled with the uniqueness of his constitution, even the elders of the major sects were no match for him. He was also considered an outstanding figure among his peers. This was still considered an understatement. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a heaven’s pride of the current generation.

Although Ye Xuan’s personality was calm and steady, he was occasionally a little smug. After all, he had the system as his cheat. It was inevitable that he would be a little impetuous. This was human nature.

However, the scene in front of him was like a slap that woke him up.

Even if he had a cheat, he was just an ant-like existence before the man in front of him. He couldn’t even deal with a dragon. The latter could kill him with a single blow.

There would always be someone better than you. The outside world was far vaster than one could imagine. Moreover, this was the world of cultivation. Miracles could happen at any time.

“It seems that I was too naive before. Perhaps in the present, I’m indeed someone who can reach the peak. However, compared to the past, I’m nothing. I still have a long way to go.”

As this thought came to Ye Xuan’s mind, he achieved a state of serenity, and his entire person became unprecedentedly relaxed. There was a change in his state of mind.

It caused his cultivation to surge up like a flood. Ye Xuan didn’t notice the ancient scroll floating above him. It was the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram!

Divine light flickered on it, intertwining to form dense Dao, which was filled with indescribable divinity.

Invisible air currents surrounded Ye Xuan, one clear and one turbid, one black and one white. Upon a closer inspection, one could faintly make out the essence of the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams.

When he looked up at the battle in the sky again, his eyes were still burning, but they were not as sore as before.

Ye Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists and muttered to himself, “Sooner or later, I will catch up to this person. I will soar through the heavens and earth. Nothing can stop me. I will embark on the path to become the strongest in the world and to reach the peak of cultivation. I shall also take a look at the view from the top.”

His tone was extremely flat, without any fluctuations, as if he was talking about the weather today. However, his words were powerful; it was apparent that he wasn’t joking.

With his current cultivation, people from 1000 years ago would have laughed at him if they heard him say such words.

He was akin to an ant with ambition higher than the sky to utter such arrogant words. He was truly laughable.

After all, even during ancient times when prodigies emerged one after another, an expert like the figure on the dragon’s head would be unparalleled.

1000 years ago,many powerful people roamed the world. At that time, the world’s spiritual energy was rich, and resources were abundant. There was never a lack of geniuses.

It was common for 10 or 100 geniuses to die in an instant in wars. Even they didn’t dare to exaggerate and say such things.

A battle of this level was already on par with that of existences such as half-Immortals, who were only one step away from breaking through the void and ascending to become Immortals.

However, Ye Xuan’s eyes burned with determination. No one dared to underestimate him. It was only a matter of time before he achieved his goal.

His whisper could not be heard over the wind that was blowing.

The fierce battle was still going on in the sky. Even if Ye Xuan was physically present during the battle, the figure might not be able to hear his words, let alone the fact that he was just in the memory of the dragon.

However, the invisible air around Ye Xuan became more and more solid, as if the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi had really descended. The black and white fish crossed and circled in tandem with an indescribable Dao rhythm.

The Yin and Yang aura only existed for a split second. Even so, it demonstrated the supreme Heavenly Dao, which could make all living things submit to it.

The aura was so spectacular that the towering figure paused for a moment and glanced down at him.
