The rumbling thunder echoed.
Long Yan's majestic voice fell, and the giant palm, thousands of feet above the void, accelerated its descent. However, just as the giant palm was about to strike.
A terrifying aura erupted from the Immortal Ship of the Lou Lan Empire. Immediately after, a fearsome attack shattered Long Yan's terrifying assault. Then, an old man appeared on the scene. This was the person who had sought help from the Silver River Empire on behalf of the Lou Lan Empire.
His name was Jiang Taiqing, an reclusive ancestor from the Jiang Clan, the maternal clan of the eldest prince of the Silver River Empire.
"Long Yan of the Long Yang Empire, tsk tsk~"
"Still as decisive in your actions as back then!"
As his figure settled, Jiang Taiqing's calm gaze fell upon Long Yan. Upon seeing the newcomer, Long Yan's expression turned solemn. "Jiang Taiqing of the Jiang Clan, Silver River Empire!!"
Jiang Taiqing was reportedly older than him by a thousand years. When Long Yan had risen to prominence, Jiang Taiqing had already entered the Void Ancestor realm. Though they were not from the same era, undoubtedly, in Long Yan's youth, Jiang Taiqing had been a god-like figure.
"Heh heh, it's rare to see someone from the same era. Although you were still weak back then, you have now reached the sixth-tier Void Ancestor realm, just like me."
"I presume you are the strongest in the Long Yang Empire!"
After a pause, Jiang Taiqing's body surged with fighting spirit. "Since you've come all this way, let's have a battle!"
"In terms of talent, you should be stronger than me, but... let me see your current combat prowess!"
*Boom*
Jiang Taiqing flipped his right hand, a long sword appearing in his grasp. That long sword was an immortal artifact. As it emerged, the surrounding air grew scorching hot, and the terrifying aura intensified by another notch.
"Then let us fight!!"
Seeing that the newcomer was a supreme powerhouse from his youth, Long Yan took a deep breath, daring not to be careless. He also conjured his long sword with his right hand, a dense sword intent crisscrossing the sky. His weapon was also an immortal artifact.
"Fight!"
With that single word, Long Yan's figure flashed, carrying an incredibly terrifying attack, and collided instantly with Jiang Taiqing!
*Boom~~~~*
A battle akin to world destruction. The residual shockwaves stunned everyone present.
Gulping sounds, one after another, came from the throats of the onlookers. Even the mere shockwaves made the Void Ancestors tremble. It could be said that everyone below the sixth-tier Venerable realm was filled with dread and terror.
*Sizzle~~~*
At this moment, a sky-splitting thunderbolt surged. In the next instant, Ye Xuan, surrounded by raging thunder, darted into the Lou Lan Empire's army. His spear intent crisscrossed the battlefield, and thunder raged.
"Ah~~"
In an instant, over a thousand Great Emperor realm powerhouses met their demise. As for those in the Venerable realm, no less than a hundred had fallen!
What a joke!
The system mission was to kill thirty thousand Venerable experts. This current amount wasn't even enough to whet his appetite!
Therefore... he had to kill more Venerables before anyone could react, or else he wouldn't have a chance to act once those Void Ancestor realm old monsters recovered.
"Presumptuous, how dare you!!"
Ye Xuan's sudden attack immediately enraged the Lou Lan Emperor Sikong Changming and the Lan Ling Emperor Tuoba Hui!
They had not been very wary of that brat. With such a surprise attack, the losses were foreseeable.
"Kill him!!"
Just as both of them gave the order, Ye Xuan reaped two more harvests. Over two thousand Great Emperors, plus nearly three hundred Venerables, had fallen. With just these three moves, over four hundred Venerables had spilled their blood on the spot.
It could be said that not even slaughtering pigs was this fast!!
Long Bayu looked at the ferocious Ye Xuan with great satisfaction. "Good lad!"
"No wonder that fellow, from a distance, had slapped away Prince Pingyang, one of the Eight Princes of the Lou Lan Empire."
"Seeking death!"
The Second Throne of the Lan Ling Empire, the Jade Shard Throne, exuded an eighth-tier Venerable aura, unleashing a terrifying attack towards Ye Xuan, showing no mercy.
Facing the overwhelming assault from the Jade Shard Throne of the Lan Ling Empire, the Second Throne of the Long Yang Empire was about to rush to his aid when he discovered that Ye Xuan's aura had surged again.
"This is... the peak of the fourth-tier Venerable realm, no, it's actually the fifth-tier Venerable!"
The Second Throne of the Long Yang Empire's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed Ye Xuan's realm. "This Thunder King has actually... entered the fifth-tier Venerable realm."
"Genius!"
"Peerless genius!!"
*Boom*!!
With a single strike, Ye Xuan was sent flying hundreds of feet back, pushed by the Lan Ling Empire's Second Throne's attack. However, Ye Xuan was completely unharmed. Instead, he used the momentum of the attack to kill another hundred or so Venerable experts from the Lan Ling Empire.
Long Baye, witnessing this scene, let out a hearty laugh that echoed through the air. "Hahaha, as expected of our Long Yang Empire's Thunder King!"
"Issue my decree!"
Long Baye suddenly thought of something and issued his command on the spot. "Effective immediately, the Thunder King shall be the new Twelfth Throne of our Long Yang Empire!!"
*Boom*!!!!
As this decree was issued, all those in the Long Yang Empire looked at Ye Xuan with changed expressions. They gulped involuntarily.
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
Accompanied by loud voices, millions of Long Yang soldiers shouted in unison. Ye Xuan's actions had directly boosted morale. Each of them charged towards the experts of the two empires, fighting with their lives.
"Long Baye, you are courting death!!"
At this moment, Sikong Changming's lungs were about to explode. His gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with unprecedented killing intent.
That brat must die!
Otherwise... he would surely be a great threat to their Lou Lan Empire in the future.
As Ye Xuan attacked, Venerable realm experts fell one after another.
Five hundred people!
One thousand people! Three thousand people!!
Before long, no less than three thousand Venerable experts from the Lou Lan and Lan Ling Empires had died by Ye Xuan's hand, and the speed was still increasing. This system mission was truly insane.
Therefore...
He could only complete the mission in a shorter time by using an equally insane method!
Frankly, Ye Xuan was not too excited about the million Silver Coins. What truly pleased him was the Time-Space Disc, which would allow him to perfectly fuse his time and space powers. After all, if he could truly achieve this, his strength would undoubtedly soar.
"Kill!!!"
The sky was filled with surging thunder. At this moment, Ye Xuan had truly terrified the Venerable experts of the Lou Lan and Lan Ling Empires. What a joke!
Even the Jade Shard Throne couldn't injure that brat. Their current strength was probably not enough to even scratch him!
As for the Void Ancestor realm powerhouses, they were all engaged in battle with the Void Ancestors of the Long Yang Empire and couldn't spare their hands. This allowed Ye Xuan to kill the strong enemies of both nations without any worries.
Long Bayu, seeing this, his eyes gleamed. "Everyone in the Long Yang Empire, you must ensure that King Ye Xuan's life is not in danger!"
"Yes, King Bayu!!"
The high-pitched and excited voices resounded. Everyone's attention was focused on King Ye Xuan. Some even abandoned their opponents to focus solely on Ye Xuan. If they detected any danger to him, they would immediately intervene. This scene, quietly... became Ye Xuan's personal killing spree.
