Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

"Be careful!"

Just when everyone was feeling a bit puzzled, Ye Xuan suddenly sensed a slight abnormality. He quickly turned around, and in his line of sight, a spiritual light suddenly emerged from the four statues. Four Spiritual Bodies emanating a green glow appeared from the statues, breaking free from their restraints, and the astonishing pressure immediately spread around.

"Insects, do you think you're capable of touching the Netherworld Artifacts?" As the four Spiritual Bodies appeared, they instantly locked their gaze on Ye Xuan and his group, their cold voices resounding abruptly.

"Mere humans, daring to covet the Netherworld Artifacts, die!"

The four Spiritual Bodies were each more ferocious than the last, and as the voice fell, overwhelming killing intent suddenly enveloped the five people.

The surrounding space began to spin as if they were falling into darkness.

"Could there really be such powerful entities here?"

Ao Wuxu and the others all turned pale. They evidently did not expect the altar to harbor such formidable Spiritual Bodies.

"Do you think acquiring Netherworld Artifacts is that easy?"

Ye Xuan shook his head. Netherworld Artifacts are said to be stronger than even the ten great wonders, since both Divine Artifacts and Netherworld Artifacts are of the same level. However, Netherworld Artifacts are only suitable for use in hell, and anywhere else, their power is somewhat diminished.

But even so, any Netherworld Artifact remains a coveted treasure.

Now that four Netherworld Artifacts had appeared simultaneously, acquiring them easily was no simple task.

"Each of us takes one, Ye Xuan, the two of you take one. Is that alright?"

Facing the four immensely powerful Spiritual Bodies, Ao Wuxu looked at Ye Xuan.

"No problem!"

Ye Xuan nodded, then exchanged a glance with Ling Qianxue. Drawing the Void Sword, he swiftly thrust it upwards, the Sword Qi like a rainbow, piercing towards the Soul Body.

Swoosh!

However, the Sword Qi passed through, merely going through the Spiritual Body without causing any harm.

"Ignoring Sword Qi attacks?!"

As the Sword Qi directly penetrated through, Ye Xuan felt a sudden unease. The next moment, everything went black before him as a sharp, spike-like weapon appeared in his soul ocean, drilling fiercely towards his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit.

Swoosh!

The spike hit Ye Xuan's soul barrier, sparks flew, and Ye Xuan's soul trembled, causing him to retreat.

"Are you okay?"

Ling Qianxue's face changed slightly, immediately stepping forward to support Ye Xuan.

"I'm fine."

Ye Xuan's face looked a bit pale as he gazed at the Spiritual Body in front of him, taking a deep breath at the eerie nature of the entity.

"Strong soul power."

The Spiritual Body looked at Ye Xuan in surprise, clearly astonished that it couldn't penetrate Ye Xuan's soul.

At this moment, the others were also combating the Spiritual Bodies, but unlike Ye Xuan's encounter, not every Spiritual Body was immune to physical attacks, otherwise, it would be too overpowering.

"Boy, embrace your fate of death!"

The Spiritual Body absorbed a black long blade with a palm movement, then swung it fiercely towards Ye Xuan.

This strike severed the space into two parts.

Ye Xuan's body trembled as if he had fallen into absolute darkness, feeling like a wandering ghost without even a sense of his own weight.

"What a terrifying pressure, truly worthy of the Netherworld Artifact level."

A solemn expression appeared on Ye Xuan's face, as this level of onslaught was enough to kill an existence at the Sealing Emperor level.

"Break!"

Ye Xuan wielded the Void Sword, slashing out with a seemingly simple yet profound strike, with the sword light countering it.

Ling Qianxue also formed a Hand Seal, conjuring a light mirror in front of her and launching it outwards.

"Hehe, courting death!"

The Spiritual Body sneered, the blade light struck at Ye Xuan. This strike was extremely fierce, and just as it was about to fall on Ye Xuan's head, it suddenly vanished, eerily.

Ye Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his soul, recalling the previous incident, he instinctively retreated, but still was a step too slow.

Swoosh!

As expected, the blade light pierced through Ye Xuan's body, once again colliding with his soul barrier. This time, it directly cut open a wide fissure, the blade light seeping through.

"This is bad!"

Beside him, Ling Qianxue could clearly see that Ye Xuan's soul barrier was cut open, his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit exposed to the edge of the blade, precariously close to danger.

"Die!"

The Spiritual Body laughed maniacally, the blade light chopping fiercely at Ye Xuan's Martial Arts Primordial Spirit.

At that moment, the entire space seemed to come to a halt.

Ye Xuan's Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, a half-transparent tiny figure, appeared frail under the Heavenly Netherworld Blade, as if it could be sliced apart with a single strike.

"An insect will always be an insect, yet you want to steal the Netherworld Artifact?" The smile on the Spiritual Body's face seemed a bit twisted.

These four Spiritual Bodies were all Martial Emperor-level powerhouses from hell, but evidently, they could not truly descend here, only able to condense Spiritual Bodies for battle through the statues of the Four Great Netherworld Emperors.

Yet at this moment, an abrupt change occurred. The blade light froze suddenly upon striking Ye Xuan's Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, stopping in its tracks, unable to advance even a tiny bit.

Crack!

In the unnervingly quiet atmosphere, a fracture appeared on the blade light, then spread like a spider web, eventually causing the blade light to shatter into countless fragments.

"What?"

The Spiritual Body was taken aback, staring at Ye Xuan in disbelief. This blow was enough to kill any Sealing Emperor powerhouse, yet it failed to kill Ye Xuan and even shattered its blade light?

"Insect? Who's the real insect?"

The core of Ye Xuan's soul ocean, the half-transparent tiny figure, surged forth, shooting violently from the soul ocean like a ray of destruction, hitting the Spiritual Body with unprecedented speed.

Splurt!

The Spiritual Body was instantly penetrated, a hole appeared at its brow, and then the entire Spiritual Body stiffened before disintegrating.

"The Spiritual Body has been destroyed!"

The other four were all stupefied. The power of the Spiritual Body was comparable to Sealing Emperor powerhouses; even the intermediate Sealing Emperor individuals among them were suppressed by the Spiritual Body, yet Ye Xuan independently annihilated one of them?

This was simply unbelievable.

"What level of power is this?"

The remaining three Spiritual Bodies were all horrified. Ye Xuan's Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, in just a blink of an eye, eliminated one of them. Such power exceeded even the Sealing Emperor tier, making even their true forms feel a tremor of fear.

"Who exactly is this kid?"

The remaining three Spiritual Bodies watched Ye Xuan warily, realizing he was the only human here who posed a deadly threat to them. What puzzled them even more was how Ye Xuan, a mere human not even at the Sealing Emperor level, could possess such terrifying abilities.
