The Divine Maiden Sect Leader’s face became increasingly difficult to bear, struggling to support against the joint blockade of the ten supreme giants. It’s known that those who were working together to seal her with Sacred Artifacts were the ten strongest in the Demon Realm, each equally formidable. Escaping such constraints couldn’t be done within a short time.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaofan did not hesitate and immediately traversed the Original Sacred Bell, heading towards Ye Xiaofan and the few females.
"Xiaofan—."
Ye Xiaoyue looked at that familiar figure, her beautiful eyes filled with endless tears. Seven years apart, she could imagine how Ye Xiaofan’s life had been during these years. To grow to this extent in such a short time, the hardships were imaginable.
Looking at Ye Xiaoyue, covered in scars, and feeling her intense weakness, the closer Ye Xiaofan got, the more uncertain he became, eventually stopping in mid-air less than a hundred meters away.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoyue was still sealed by a supreme restriction, unable to move as she floated quietly in the void. She tried to show her best side to her brother, forcing a smile and trying to look relaxed, even though the pain of countless Insect Bites was nearly engulfing her.
But this scene fell into Ye Xiaofan’s eyes, filling him with endless heartache and breathlessness.
Until Yunmo Baitian and others freed themselves, jointly breaking those layers of restrictions, Ye Xiaoyue’s figure fell weakly due to loss of support, and Ye Xiaofan cried out, breaking through the air toward her silhouette.
"Sister—!!!"
The once weak boy embraced his frail sister tightly, grasping the only close kin he had in the countless springs and autumns in this world, while his body seemed to tremble.
Ye Xiaoyue had already lost any strength, leaning on her brother’s support, yet still struggled to lift her hand to gently stroke Ye Xiaofan’s forehead. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears of joy: "Xiaofan, they told me you were dead. It’s so good; you’re still alive, my brother is still alive."
Listening to Ye Xiaoyue’s words, Ye Xiaofan completely fell into his sister’s embrace, burying his head tightly on her shoulder, his eyes involuntarily turning completely red.
The siblings hugged each other, reuniting after a long separation. Both felt mixed emotions in their hearts, joy intertwined with heartache that made breathing difficult.
At this moment, Ye Xiaofan secretly vowed in his heart never to let anyone harm his dear ones again in this lifetime. Should anyone dare to touch his family, he would obliterate them.
"Sister, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Xiaofan came too late, Xiaofan came too late, causing you to suffer."
Holding the only blood relative who silently protected him from small to grown, Ye Xiaofan felt not only heartache to the point of breathlessness but also endless self-reproach.
If he were strong enough, if he had come a little earlier, his sister wouldn’t have to endure such pain and torture. He swore inwardly that from now on, by any means necessary, he would become strong enough to protect those around him, strong enough to disdain any enemy, strong enough to make everyone tremble with fear.
Ye Xiaoyue naturally heard the self-reproach in Ye Xiaofan’s words and immediately exerted all her strength: "You foolish child, it’s good to be alive, not late, not late at all. Seeing you alive, I don’t know how happy I am. Our family’s Xiaofan has grown up, capable of shaking the Divine Sect."
As Ye Xiaoyue spoke, she hugged her brother tighter, afraid of letting go and not seeing him again.
Time slowly passed until the former let out a cry of pain, causing Ye Xiaofan to react hurriedly, loosening his grip on Ye Xiaoyue to check her injuries.
But merely grabbing her wrist made Ye Xiaoyue’s face turn deathly pale with cold sweat on her forehead, yet she bit her teeth hard, refusing to make a sound.
Ye Xiaofan immediately sensed something and suddenly uncovered Ye Xiaoyue’s sleeve, while the latter tried to stop him but was a step too late.
As the sleeve was uncovered in an instant, Ye Xiaofan froze on the spot. He saw that Ye Xiaoyue’s wrist had no intact skin; her whole arm was disfigured by the Heart-devouring Worms, constantly consuming flesh.
The entire wrist was a bloody mess, and even Heart-devouring Worms covered it, a horrifying sight.
Even such a wrist, Ye Xiaofan could imagine what kind of torment his sister was enduring these past years. Witnessing the unbearable scene, his hands instinctively trembled.
The next moment.
"Take care of my sister."
Ye Xiaofan couldn’t bear to face this scene anymore, handing his finest Elixir to Ji Xiaohui, then swiftly turning his back.
Turning away from Ye Xiaoyue, his eyes involuntarily filled with blood-red tears, no longer restrainable, wildly streaming down.
Yet behind those painful tears were boundless hatred and anger, alongside overwhelming murderous intent.
He looked up at the imposing silhouette, suppressed in mid-air by Yunmo Baitian and others, the rage and killing intent in his eyes unprecedentedly intense, almost tangible, finally erupting completely at this moment.
Boom—!!!
A terrifying force crazily surged forth; at this moment, whether it was the Golden True Self or the World Tree Martial Soul, both trembled violently, and even that single leaf seemed to mutate, merging into Ye Xiaofan’s body as a stupendous power.
In his hand, a golden Divine Sword appeared, with dragon roars echoing through the heavens and earth, chilling all who saw it.
The Dragon Emperor Sword had long become a combined sword, a true Divine Weapon, with its Terror Sword Force rampaging wildly, seemingly awakening the entire world at this moment.
As the white-clothed youth’s grasp on the sword hilt tightened, the utterance escaped his teeth in a barely explosive voice.
"Old witch— I want you— to vanish!"
Boom—!!!
As the words fell, countless Cultivators suddenly saw that figure seemingly transform into a deity in rage, roaring and breaking through the air, swinging the Divine Sword fiercely towards the immobilized Divine Maiden Sect Leader.
The Terror Sword Force madly converged, a spectacular force began to reach the extreme with the infusion of the World Tree Green Leaves. Even the Divine Egg seemed slightly shocked, vibrating slightly.
Yet this scene astonished endless mighty figures, as if witnessing a divine marvel.
Especially the female cultivators of the Divine Maiden Sect, all were collectively shocked, gazing in disbelief and amazement at the stunning youth.
He actually wields his sword towards a supreme giant!
A cultivator with a Perfect Cultivation of the Self-Slaying Realm dared to swing his sword at a Giant Level supreme being, moreover, one of the highest in the Saint Realm.
Know that, in the eyes of Saint Realm experts, the Self-Slaying Realm is no different from ants. If it weren’t for the Demon Realm’s Saints forcibly suppressing Bai Yue, the opponent could obliterate him with a flick of a finger, let alone strike.
Yet such a scene happened genuinely, rendering everyone stunned as if struck by lightning.
Self-Slaying Realm cultivator slicing a supreme giant’s sword. It’s unknown whether it’s courage or foolish ignorance. Even if a Saint stood there unmoving, a Self-Slaying Realm cultivator would struggle to break its flesh, let alone its defenses.
However, at this moment, countless hearts were filled with shock. To dare swing a sword at a Saint at the Self-Slaying Realm, this courage might be the first of its kind throughout the Hundred Broken Mountain Range’s history, as ordinary people don’t have the chance to strike at a Saint.
Yet even so, everyone still felt that person was insane, despite their extraordinary talent. It’s impossible to break through a giant’s defense at this realm, reaching its flesh is out of the question.
"Has he gone mad? Swinging a sword at a giant?"
Not just the Divine Maiden Sect’s innumerable female cultivators, even the thousands of Saints in the Demon Realm were completely shaken. A Self-Slaying Realm sword slicing a giant, who could envision such an occurrence?
No one knows what this sword will bring, but in all minds, it’s seen as an utter impossibility, unable to injure whatsoever.
