Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1968 - 1950: You’re Letting Me Go?

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

At the very moment the two Gang Qi Giant Dragons met, they astonishingly behaved like living creatures. The Ice Dragon first breathed out Cold Qi, instantly freezing the foremost Gang Qi Longsword. Immediately after, the Flame Dragon breathed out a blazing flame, instantly detonating the Gang Qi Longsword, causing explosion after explosion to appear in the sky. In the blink of an eye, under such a method, the Heaven-Extinction Sword Formation completely vanished, with all the Gang Qi Longswords destroyed!

Watching the fireworks-like explosions appearing in the sky, everyone was turned into wooden statues at this moment. No one expected Fang Yan’s move to be like this, using the opposing principles of ice and fire to prematurely trigger the opponent’s move. What baffled everyone even more was how Fang Yan controlled the Gang Qi Giant Dragons to act like living creatures, a method simply too astounding to believe!

Others could also control Gang Qi, but only in terms of direction, absolutely impossible to control it like living beings. They truly had never heard of such a thing! It was only now that they realized what Fang Yan’s true strength was like—his power was absolutely terrifying, beyond terrifying!

Little did they know, the move Fang Yan released came from the techniques of the Heaven Defying Blade, called Twin Dragons Annihilation Slash. By leveraging the Heaven Defying Blade’s compatibility with dual Gang Qi effects, this move could be unleashed. Everything that followed was the result of Fang Yan using his Divine Sense at great cost to control them. It could be said that except for Fang Yan, no one could release such a move with the Heaven Defying Blade because none had a Divine Sense comparable to Fang Yan!

However, this move was very taxing on Fang Yan. It’s fair to say, after using such a move, Fang Yan’s own strength would also drop by half. But to defeat the Absolute Sword Ancestor’s Heaven-Extinction Sword Formation, he didn’t care anymore. Moreover, Fang Yan had his own plans: from the start of revealing his strength, he intended to attract the Holy Soul Sect’s attention. It would be best if he could enter the Holy Soul Sect, so he could find out what they were up to concerning Earth!

The Absolute Sword Ancestor personally witnessed his Heaven-Extinction Sword Formation being shattered with such a simple method by Fang Yan’s move. His face was filled with despair. He never expected Fang Yan to be hiding this deeply, nor did he foresee Fang Yan’s strength surpassing his own. A mere Human Immortal Realm beginner youth, and he didn’t even have the qualification to fight desperately—this was a massive blow to him. He, the genuine Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse, and the number one in the Lingtian Cultivation Realm...

Watching the two Gang Qi Giant Dragons continuing their charge towards him, the Absolute Sword Ancestor’s eyes showed a resolute color. He knew with his strength he could not withstand these two Gang Qi Giant Dragons, nor could he escape. In that brief instant, he made a decision—to self-destruct! He would risk his last chance to heavily injure all the invaders, even if he couldn’t kill Fang Yan, he would try to blast everyone to death!

Suddenly, a violent aura appeared on the Absolute Sword Ancestor in the sky; his body emanated a White Gang Qi that flickered, appearing extremely unstable. Anyone could tell that the Absolute Sword Ancestor was preparing to self-destruct. Instantly, everyone was on edge—a self-destruct by an Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse could obliterate everything within a span of several tens of miles, meaning everyone present would be affected. Even the Supreme Elders and Great Elders of the Earth Immortal Realm here could not possibly survive!

But it was already like this; even if they wanted to stop him, it was too late. Instantly, everyone began a desperate flight; though they couldn’t escape the range, distancing themselves further from the Absolute Sword Ancestor increased their chances of survival.

However, the people of the Supreme Immortal Sect were filled with a bleakness. The esteemed number one powerhouse of the Lingtian Cultivation Realm was actually forced to self-destruct today. Even if they were not dead, the Cultivation World could no longer contend with the opponent. Thinking of this, everyone wanted to leave entirely; even hiding in a deep, dense forest was better, at least they could survive.

But just as everyone was in full retreat, something unexpected occurred.

It was seen that the aura of self-destruction on the Absolute Sword Ancestor vanished instantly, as if it had never happened. Nobody felt any direct danger anymore. For a moment, everyone focused on the Absolute Sword Ancestor, not understanding what had happened.

Everyone knew that once the meridians were reversed, there was no stopping it. So they were all curious about how the Absolute Sword Ancestor halted his self-destruction, something seemingly impossible under normal circumstances. None of them had ever heard that self-destruction could be stopped.

At this moment, the gaze of everyone from the Holy Soul Sect and the three major sects focused on Fang Yan. They knew the Absolute Sword Ancestor’s cessation of self-destruction was definitely Fang Yan’s doing, but none knew how Fang Yan achieved it. At this moment, they were even frightened internally. If he could quietly stop self-destruction, who knows what else Fang Yan could do? Just this thought filled even the Great Elder and the two Supreme Elders with terror—they dared not battle with someone like Fang Yan.

Everyone truly could not comprehend how Fang Yan stopped the self-destruction of the opponent. This method was indescribable; any cultivator would be unable to resist the fear. What a joke, if even suicide wasn’t permissible, what was the point of playing at all!

Indeed, not just them, the Absolute Sword Ancestor himself was bewildered. Initially, he was prepared for mutual destruction; who would have thought such a situation would arise—the violent aura disappeared instantly, and he couldn’t mobilize his Gang Qi at all. Now, it had reached the point where he couldn’t even self-destruct if he wanted to!

The Absolute Sword Ancestor was filled with bitterness at this moment. He never imagined even self-destruction wouldn’t work. Looking at Fang Yan, he was at a loss for words. He had contemplated everything, except for the possibility that even self-destruction wouldn’t succeed. Throughout the entire Lingtian Cultivation Realm, he’d never heard of anyone being able to stop a self-destruction. What’s more, he never even saw Fang Yan make a move to stop him from self-destructing—a method truly unheard of.

As the one Ice and one Flame Gang Qi Giant Dragons spiraled toward him, the Absolute Sword Ancestor completely gave up, shutting his eyes. In face of such a powerful Fang Yan, he had no chance to escape at all. Rather than dying miserably, being consumed by the two Gang Qi Giant Dragons was better—at least it would spare him further concern.

However, though giving up, he felt truly unwilling in his heart. It took him almost two hundred years to achieve the Earth Immortal Realm and become the number one in the Lingtian Cultivation Realm, while Fang Yan seemed not even in his twenties. The disparity left him speechless; originally thinking himself a genius, only after meeting Fang Yan did he understand what true genius was—in comparison, his self-esteem was utterly gone!

Seeing this scene, the people of the Supreme Immortal Sect were all in despair. The Absolute Sword Ancestor represented the Supreme Immortal Sect’s highest combat strength, to be defeated so miserably by such a young man like Fang Yan, leaving them hopeless about the future of the Supreme Immortal Sect. Once the Absolute Sword Ancestor perished, the people of the Supreme Immortal Sect could not possibly withstand the opponent’s attacks. At that moment, the Supreme Immortal Sect would face calamity!

But none expected what happened next: the one Ice and one Flame Gang Qi Giant Dragons halted suddenly at a distance of only five zhang from the Absolute Sword Ancestor, causing everyone to freeze. They turned their eyes to Fang Yan, wondering if he didn’t want to kill the Absolute Sword Ancestor after all?

"You can go," Fang Yan said indifferently to the Absolute Sword Ancestor.

"You’re letting me go?" The Absolute Sword Ancestor was stunned upon hearing Fang Yan, staring at him in disbelief. At this point, Fang Yan letting him go seemed inconceivable, unreasonable even.

"There’s no mortal enmity between us, I don’t wish to kill you," Fang Yan said calmly, looking at the Absolute Sword Ancestor.

"Is this true?" The Absolute Sword Ancestor asked again in surprise. He now confirmed he had not misheard; Fang Yan truly intended to let him go—a concept he could not fathom. Traditionally, victory meant absolute defeat, usually ending in death. Yet Fang Yan intended to spare him, something he still couldn’t believe.

"It’s true, you may leave now," Fang Yan said to the Absolute Sword Ancestor, seemingly puzzled by the doubt in his words.

Hearing Fang Yan, the Absolute Sword Ancestor gave Fang Yan a glance, scanned the observing crowd, hesitated for a moment, then tossed an item at Fang Yan before retreating swiftly, not looking back. It had come to this point; saving his own life was already fortunate enough. As for the Supreme Immortal Sect, it was beyond his care.

Fang Yan raised a hand to catch the item thrown by the Absolute Sword Ancestor, examining it briefly. He found it to be a long, black item, not knowing what it was.

"Black Cloud Metal!"

"It’s actually Black Cloud Metal!"

...

Exclamations erupted from among the Supreme Immortal Sect’s people upon seeing the item. Who in the sect didn’t know the Absolute Sword Ancestor had acquired this Black Cloud Metal from an ancient site? Black Cloud Metal was a significant material for refining top-tier Dharma Treasures. Its value was immeasurable. They couldn’t fathom why the Absolute Sword Ancestor gave the Black Cloud Metal to Fang Yan, thinking it such a pity...
