Chapter 442: Apocalypse Flame, Cleaved by a Sword

Skyfire God Honored held an exalted position in the Flame Spirit Region. Everything was at his beck and call, and he reveled in a luxurious life filled with three thousand beauties in his harem.

He never expected that he would perish today in this Cloud Mark Cave.

These Sword Cultivators from the Sword Pavilion are really too powerful.

Killing across realms is as easy for them as slicing vegetables and melons.

Their swordsmanship is sublime, something he has rarely encountered in his life, and it’s hard to describe with any language.

In the blink of an eye, three cultivators from the Divine Sovereign Realm had fallen under the sword.

Recalling his first encounter with this Sword Cultivator from the Sword Pavilion in the Mist Marsh, the chilling sensation of the sword tip pressed against his brow seemed to resurface.

Skyfire God Honored shuddered with fear, his knees suddenly buckled, and he abruptly knelt in mid-air.

He looked at Ye Yun with a pleading expression and said with a trembling voice, "Senior, please spare my life! I only just entered the Cloud Mark Cave; I haven’t done anything..."

Seeing Skyfire God Honored’s will crumble, Ye Yun chuckled.

This fellow with three thousand beauties in his harem certainly doesn’t want to die!

If Skyfire God Honored were to die, what would become of all his women?

"Skyfire! How can you beg for mercy at a time like this? Get up quickly and fight the enemy with your Master!"

The black-robed old man was so furious his insides felt like they were burning. He shot out a hand, grabbed Skyfire God Honored, and shook him violently.

"Master, it’s useless. We cannot afford to provoke the Sword Pavilion," Skyfire God Honored, his fighting spirit completely gone, said with dull, lifeless eyes.

The black-robed old man roared, "Wake the hell up! Even if you beg for mercy, do you think he’ll let you go?"

"Master, I have no grudges or enmity with this Senior. He spared my life once in the Mist Marsh," Skyfire God Honored said with a bitter smile.

"Is that so?" The black-robed old man’s expression darkened, as if he had thought of something.

"Sir, we no longer want this Black Stone Treasury. We’ll give it to you. How about you spare us, Master and disciple?" the black-robed old man asked tentatively, his gaze fixed sharply on Ye Yun while still grasping Skyfire God Honored with one hand.

Ye Yun smiled faintly. "You two are utterly vicious and have committed countless evils. Do you really think I would spare you?"

After speaking, he held his sword in one hand and slowly walked forward a few steps in the void.

With each step Ye Yun took, both the black-robed old man and Skyfire God Honored felt their hearts pound violently. It felt as if an immense pressure had instantly descended upon them. A great sense of terror welled up in their hearts.

"Don’t say I’m bullying the weak. You two insignificant cultivators of the Divine Sovereign Realm, if you don’t make your move now, you won’t get another chance."

Ye Yun continued his slow advance, raising the sword in his hand.

Possessing the Ancestral Dragon Body, mastery over various powerful Divine Skills, and an unimaginable hoard of treasures, the current Ye Yun felt no fear, even when facing a Divine King Realm expert. That was why, when dealing with two mere Divine Sovereigns, he would say he was bullying the weak. He was giving them one chance to act. At the same time, he wanted Liu Yiyi, who stood beside him, to witness the Sword of Death Realm again to deepen her comprehension. After all, her Binary Sword Chant was still only at a rudimentary level.

"Senior, are you truly not going to spare me?" Skyfire God Honored asked eagerly, seeming to regain some clarity upon hearing Ye Yun’s words.

Ye Yun shook his head.

Skyfire God Honored’s face immediately filled with disappointment.

He knew his Master had dragged him into this mess.

After a sigh, Skyfire God Honored wrenched himself free from the black-robed old man’s grasp. He formed a Hand Seal, and his entire body immediately erupted in roaring red flames. The color was completely different from the black-robed old man’s black flames.

"Skyfire, whether we live or die now depends on our fortune this time, Master and disciple," the black-robed old man said, his expression grave. He too formed a Hand Seal, and the aura around him intensified dramatically. Their Hand Seals were identical. This was their most powerful fire-attribute Divine Skill.

"Apocalypse Flame!"

The two shouted almost simultaneously, thrusting their hands violently towards Ye Yun. One red and one black, two surging seas of fire erupted from their Hand Seals, rolling forward like an unstoppable, world-ending torrent.

This fire-attribute Divine Skill is so strong... Skyfire God Honored really has some ability; he’s even stronger than Ning Fangzhi,

Liu Yiyi thought. She stood behind Ye Yun, her expression changing slightly as she watched the overwhelming Apocalypse Flame.

If she were to face Skyfire God Honored alone, it would likely end in a draw. However, she had the Red Tassel Battle Armor, so the Apocalypse Flame couldn’t harm her. In a battle of attrition, she would have a chance to defeat Skyfire God Honored.

Facing the vast red and black flames sweeping towards him, Ye Yun suddenly vanished.

A sword light, seemingly capable of sundering the heavens and splitting the earth, abruptly appeared in the void. The sword light was incomparably sharp and utterly unstoppable. The Sword of Death Realm—nothing in the world could block it.

SWISH! In an instant, the two apocalyptic red and black flames were cleaved in two.

"How is this possible?!" the black-robed old man roared in shocked disbelief. He was an expert at the Fourth Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm and had unleashed his strongest fire-attribute Divine Skill. Combined with his disciple’s attack, their joint offensive was still so easily shattered by the Sword Cultivator. A single sword strike had destroyed their Divine Skills.

What terrified him even more was that as the sword light descended, he found himself utterly unable to muster any will to resist.

This is simply too bizarre.

It’s as if, at this very moment, I’m already dead.

"It’s over." Seeing the familiar sword light descend, Skyfire God Honored closed his eyes.

This Sword Cultivator is too terrifying.

Neither he nor his Master could possibly block such swordsmanship.

SPLAT! Skyfire God Honored’s head abruptly exploded, sending crimson blood and white brain matter splattering everywhere. His Primordial Spirit shattered in the same instant.

Skyfire God Honored had fallen!

The next moment, the black-robed old man’s head, his eyes wide with terror, also exploded. Blood and brain matter flew through the air. His Primordial Spirit was minced by that sword strike, and he too perished on the spot.

This Sword of Death Realm is truly too powerful. If one’s cultivation base isn’t high enough, or their Dao Heart isn’t firm enough, they wouldn’t even be able to muster the will to resist this sword,

Liu Yiyi murmured to herself, her face flashing with successive waves of realization. At that moment, her understanding of the Binary Sword Chant deepened considerably.

"Yiyi, go and collect all their storage rings," Ye Yun said with a smile, turning to Liu Yiyi.

"Okay, Brother Yun." Liu Yiyi nodded quickly and got busy.

Ye Yun descended from mid-air and landed beside the black stone pillar. There, he saw four words inscribed on the ground: "Black Stone Treasury."

Ye Yun nodded silently.

No wonder Ning Fangzhi and the others were guarding the depths of the Cloud Mark Cave; it was precisely because of these four words.

Perhaps they believed that by breaking the black stone’s Seal, they could enter a Treasure Pavilion and obtain countless treasures.

A Treasure Pavilion capable of attracting several Divine Sovereign Realm experts would naturally be of a high grade. Could it have been left behind by a Divine King Realm expert?

Ye Yun mused, his gaze slightly focused as he began to examine the Seal on the surface of the black stone pillar.

Countless tiny, star-like runes flickered in the depths of his eyes. His Annihilation Eye activated, and a vast power of creation and destruction instantly descended, beginning to wear away at the Seals.

BANG! After a few dozen breaths, accompanied by a soft crack, the Seal on the outer layer of the black stone pillar shattered.
