I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Xie Tianheng was instantly full of pride. During their time in the Spiritual Realm, this old man had been so arrogant and looked down on his son-in-law. Now he sees how formidable his son-in-law is, doesn't he?

"My strength is still lacking, even though I've broken through to the Truth Refinement Realm. But within the ranks of True King Heavenly Venerables, I am not considered top-notch,"

Xie Tianheng sighed a bit.

Even though his Sword Dao was powerful, he'd grasped Sword Intent and even cultivated a Sword Arts Divine Skill. Nevertheless, with all this, he barely compared to the combat power of a late-stage True King Heavenly Venerable.

To outsiders, he was already regarded as a strong figure among the True King Heavenly Venerables, and he had a bit of a reputation. Yet for the ever-ambitious Xie Tianheng, it still wasn't enough.

"The Immortal Heavenly Venerable realm is still too far off. I'm only at the early stage of the Truth Refinement Realm. I'm afraid it will take a hundred years before I can break through to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable,"

At this moment, Xie Tianheng thought of pills.

"If I had pills to aid me, the breakthrough would certainly come faster."

He was somewhat tempted. Should he make a trip back to the Qinghua state?

All of a sudden, a faint sound of a sword's cry rang out, and Xie Tianheng immediately felt elated.

"Has Feng'er made a breakthrough?"

Looking towards the source of the sword's cry, a beam of sword light flew out from a small courtyard in a secluded cultivation area, with a Physiognomy that was faintly visible. The Physiognomy was a torrential sword wave, with the intent to kill barely perceivable.

Immediately after, the Physiognomy disappeared, revealing Xie Lingfeng's figure.

Xie Lingfeng had finally broken through to the Physiognomy Realm.

"Feng'er, now that you've had a breakthrough, let's find a place and have a spar,"

Xie Tianheng spoke.

On Yuntian Island, or rather, the entire Azure Sea Sphere, the only one who met his standard in the Sword Dao was his own son, Xie Lingfeng.

In the entire Azure Sea Sphere, besides father and son, no one else could be considered a Sword Dao Martial Artist.

Xie Lingfeng glanced at his father and, after a moment of silence, said, "Dad, there's no need. You're no match for me!"

Xie Tianheng's face darkened.

"Do you really think your dad is like those worthless Sword Dao Martial Artists? Do you think you can defeat me just because I created three Divine Skills when I broke through to Divine Skills, and now with my breakthrough to the Physiognomy Realm, my strength has greatly increased. Dad, you should just give up, you're not my opponent."

Xie Lingfeng's mouth twitched a bit, his father was indeed a bit too arrogant, "Now, the Martial Arts I practice has completely transitioned to the Great Wilderness Martial Arts. How can you compete against me within the same realm?"

"In terms of grasping the Sword Dao, Sword Intent, and Divine Skills, you're no match for me!"

Xie Tianheng was at a loss for words, unable to speak.

...

The group of Immortal Heavenly Venerables from Yuntian Island rushed towards the Realm Gate, and before they could get close, they saw that the small island where the Realm Gate was located had vanished, with the gateway hanging over the sea.

The great battle was over!

Such a massive battle concluded in less than a quarter of an hour?

What exactly happened?

The powerhouses were all puzzled, and they immediately thought of Gao Xueming who had been stationed at the Realm Gate.

"Where's Gao Xueming?"

"Where is he?"

Suddenly, the powerhouses discovered Gao Xueming standing in a daze on a small island, as if scared by something.

And this is an Immortal Heavenly Venerable!

And on the island, those True King Heavenly Venerables who were sitting in at the Realm Gate were all unconscious, not waking up.

"Gao Xueming, what has happened?"

A powerful, ruddy-faced elder holding an Azure Staff spoke with a grave voice.

The elder was the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, extremely powerful, and one of the strongest in the Azure Sea Sphere.

Gao Xueming took a deep breath, coming back to his senses, and looking at the group of Immortal Heavenly Venerables, he said solemnly, "A powerful being, one that must not be provoked, has come to the Azure Sea Sphere. So formidable that all the Immortal Realms in the Azure Sea Sphere united might not be a match for him!"

Upon hearing this, the powerhouses were all shocked.

"A powerhouse above the Immortal Realm? Impossible, such powerhouses seldom descend, and moreover, if such a being descended, we would surely know."

One of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables shook his head.

"It might not necessarily be from above the Immortal Realm, but his strength is indeed crushing that of the Immortal Realm,"

Gao Xueming sighed.

"Tell us, what happened?"

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe frowned and asked.

"It's a simple matter to explain..."

Gao Xueming briefly recounted the events.

However, he omitted the part about him willingly cooperating with the other party and ceding the Realm Gate. Instead, he portrayed it as if he had been forced to strike the True King Heavenly Venerables unconscious and retreat to this place.

All of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow people had been wiped out, and the one to whom he had owed a favor had also died. Now, with nobody left to prove the truth, wasn't it up to him to say whatever he wanted?

Even if the truth is revealed, what then?

He merely owed someone a debt of gratitude for saving his life, which he repaid, and that settled the matter, hardly a significant event.

After all, the person who was attacked was immensely powerful and killed all ambushing assailants in one fell swoop.

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe and others were utterly shocked after hearing this.

"Twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables joined forces and were annihilated within half a quarter of an hour?"

All the strong figures appeared incredulous.

"That's right!"

Gao Xueming nodded.

"The opponent looked like a young man, and I even suspect that he is not old, not an old monster!"

He chuckled bitterly; just one glance from the opponent was enough to scare him stiff, unable to move the slightest bit!

"Are you sure they were twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables?"

A powerful figure could not help but ask.

"Could there be any doubt?"

Gao Xueming spoke with a grave expression.

Everyone fell silent.

They all trembled slightly in their hearts; twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables, who were experts in joint attacks and had used a Divine Artifact to solidify the Domain, were wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour?

"Let's go, check the battlefield!"

The Sea Spirit Tribe's Great Elder said in a deep voice.

Outside the Realm Gate in the offshore waters, the battle had already calmed. The small island had vanished without a trace, but as the mighty figures stood above the seascape where the battlefield had been, their faces involuntarily changed.

Traces of sharp, piercing energies still lingered between heaven and earth.

Being in their midst, one felt an impending sense of annihilation.

"What kind of technique is this!"

An Immortal Heavenly Venerable muttered in shock.

Even with their Immortal Realm strength, they felt a sense of annihilation. If a Martial Artist of the Divine Refinement Realm were to step into this battlefield, they would probably be killed instantly by the remaining Qi!

Such terrifying intent to kill was not something these Immortal Heavenly Venerables could achieve!

Although the battlefield's murderous intent was slowly dissipating, the fact that it could linger for so long after the great battle ended, with such substantial lethal power, indicated that the person who made the move was beyond their capability to contend with.

Xu Yan had only used the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword and had not employed the Imperishable Sword Intent; otherwise, the Sword Intent here would not have disappeared and would have become a Holy Land for Sword Dao Martial Artists to comprehend.

"This person must not be provoked; I hope he bears no ill will,"

sighed the Sea Spirit Tribe's Great Elder.

He looked at Gao Xueming and said, "Since you have seen him, reveal his appearance so that we don't offend him by mistake!"

The rest of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables nodded in agreement.

They had to be extremely cautious with such a terrifying individual; they absolutely could not afford to offend him.

Gao Xueming gestured with his hand, and the power of the Domain converged, shaping an image of Xu Yan. Although it could only resemble seventy to eighty percent, it would be enough to recognize him and avoid offending him.

After memorizing his appearance, the powerful figures began to discuss how to handle the situation going forward.

The Sea Spirit Tribe's Great Elder reached out, and a small island in the distance was transferred to the base of the Realm Gate, placing the gateway back atop a small island.

After leaving one person to guard the Realm Gate, Gao Xueming and the rest returned to Yuntian Island. As for the slumbering True King Heavenly Venerables, they were awakened to continue their watch over the Realm Gate.

All these True King Heavenly Venerables were utterly baffled; how had the island of the Realm Gate changed after they slept?

However, they all understood in their hearts that something must have occurred; otherwise, why would they, the esteemed True King Heavenly Venerables, fall into a deep, unwakeable slumber?

But such matters were too profound, not something these weaker figures could comprehend.

Meanwhile, Xu Yan, after slaying the attackers of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, set off for Yuntian Island. However, as he was not familiar with the Azure Sea Sphere, his direction was somewhat off.

Sailing across the waves, Xu Yan took out a Flying Boat and navigated over the sea, sitting on the Flying Boat, gazing at the vast ocean.

"With Brother Xie's talent, he should be close to breaking through to the Physiognomy Realm, right?"

Xu Yan wondered inwardly.

Xie Lingfeng's talent was not lacking, and with the aid of pills to accelerate his cultivation, he should be close to breaking through to the Physiognomy Realm now.

"Once Brother Xie breaks through the Physiognomy Realm, he won't be considered weak even among True King Heavenly Venerables."

After assessing Xie Lingfeng's strength, Xu Yan had a good measure in his heart.

"I wonder how many Divine Skills Brother Xie has manifested?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Yan was curious.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Xu Yan wore a look of surprise and looked towards a desolate island in the distance.
