Such a result had obviously gone beyond their expectations. No one had expected that the seemingly incomparably powerful Dwarf Tiger would collapse at the first blow. In fact, he wasn't Ye Xiwen's opponent at all.
Such a scene had subdued everyone in an instant.
Ye Xiwen indifferently glanced at everyone. He fiercely shook the holy sword in his hand. However, a loud sound was heard, and numerous sword-energies were chopped out in the sky. Everyone's eyelids twitched as they looked at this scene.
The Buried Person Sword had displayed even more dreadful might in Ye Xiwen's hand than before.
It was undeniable that the weapon in Ye Xiwen's hand wasn't a sage tool anymore. He had dared to use an ordinary iron sword to fight against an expert who possessed a sage tool. However, the might of his' Buried Sword Secrets' would be displayed to the fullest extent with the help of the holy sword in his hand.
This holy sword had burst out with a dreadful might that was far from comparable to the one in the Dwarf Tiger's hand. The inexhaustible brilliance of the sword-way had almost covered the entire Imperial Capital.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The numerous subordinates of the Fourth Prince were hit by the sword-energies that had covered the sky. They turned into masses of blood fog, and exploded in the sky.
This scene made everyone silent for a while. Many people also reacted. They understood why the Fourth Prince had attacked Ye Xiwen while he was condensing his sage body. It was because this might be the time when Ye Xiwen was at his weakest.
However, the result was completely beyond their expectations. Ye Xiwen had effortlessly beheaded the Dwarf Tiger and his group of experts even while he was condensing his sage body.
The Fourth Prince was still calm when he saw this scene. But, he couldn't remain calm anymore. His complexion had become extremely ugly. That was because Ye Xiwen was holding the long sword upside down. He was walking towards him step by step. The tip of the sword streaked across the void. It seemed as if a huge crack had been drawn on a clean piece of paper.
"You …" The Fourth Prince hadn't even had time to speak when he saw a cold light flashing. The Fourth Prince's body disintegrated in the air. He had been beheaded by Ye Xiwen, and had been cut into two halves. Even his soul had been destroyed.
All the outstanding heroes of the Great Wei State were silent. No one dared to stand up and speak for the Fourth Prince at this time. This was the price one had to pay in order to fight for the throne. So, no one could avoid paying any price.
Once they stepped onto the path of succession, they would have to face a life and death battle. There was no path of retreat, because if they took a single step back, they would fall into a bottomless abyss, a path of death.
In other words, nobody would've said a word for him if the Twenty-third Prince had died today. And, nobody would've shed a single tear for him. After all, the reality was cruel.
And, the Twenty-third Prince would inevitably blossom with unimaginable brilliance after the death of the Fourth Prince. He had originally been a nobody. However, he had become a popular candidate in the competition for the throne because he had the backing of such a powerful and unrivaled expert like Ye Xiwen.
Some people were crying injustice for the Fourth Prince. However, they didn't dare to say anything at this time. After all, Ye Xiwen's fighting strength was too terrifying. They wouldn't be able to deal with a peak level sage expert in such a short time if they were in his place.
However, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that they had seen Ye Xiwen's dreadful heavenly tribulation. A divine army of 500 sage experts had been easily defeated by Ye Xiwen. They weren't a match for him at all.
Who could stop such an expert? Only an expert of Sage Small Perfection realm would appear. However, it wasn't that the Imperial Clan didn't have such experts. However, such experts wouldn't participate in the competition for the throne once they had reached their level. Therefore, they would always act impartially.
They also didn't need to participate in this competition. After all, whoever ascended to the throne at their level would try to win them over. They wouldn't dare to cut off their offerings. So, why would they take such a risk to draw chestnuts from the fire if that was the case? After all, they would be done for in case they took a wrong step.
Therefore, the people who would often participate in the competition for the throne were individual experts like Old Ancestor Gong Yang. They weren't considered to be very strong. So, they would put their all into this fight. Otherwise, they might not have the means to advance in this lifetime.
Wasn't the so-called cultivation the same as cultivating the so-called companions, techniques, and wealth? They were individual cultivators. So, what they lacked the most was resources. So, it was only possible for them to cultivate to a higher level in their lifetime by taking a gamble like this.
"It seems that the fourth prince isn't the one who has hidden the deepest. Instead, it's this unknown Twenty-third Prince. He had said that he would participate in the competition in the past. However, I had never thought that he would have such a profound background. Moreover, he was hiding such an expert. I was scared to death when I saw the heavenly tribulation that day. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand it. And, the entire Imperial Capital would've been destroyed under his heavenly tribulation!"
"I saw that the Twenty-third Prince had returned this time. He had brought two consecrated experts with him. Then, another group of people had arrived. They were all wearing similar clothes. So, it's obvious that they belong to the same organization. It's hard to say which organization is supporting him!"
"Such fighting strength is indeed enough to sweep away the consecrated experts of those princes!"
The entire Imperial Capital was talking about this matter for a while. Some people were happy. They were excited about the rise of the Twenty-third Prince. However, some people were deeply worried because the Twenty-third Prince had joined the competition. And, this had made the already confusing competition between the princes even more chaotic.
"Holy sh * t! What's going on?" Suddenly, a streamer of light flashed in the sky. Then, the Wood Dragon strode down from the void while holding a human head in his hand. That human head was the head of the silver-armored general from before. It had already lost its vitality in the Wood Dragon's hand.
The Wood Dragon had chased this silver-armored general for thousands of miles. And, he had finally beheaded this seriously injured silver-armored general. He had just returned, and found that the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Capital wasn't quite right. It should be said that the entire place was filled with a kind of tense atmosphere. Moreover, the air was still pervading with the faint aura of the heavenly tribulation. It was a dreadful aura that could make people's souls tremble.
This dreadful aura had dissipated a long time ago. However, the Wood Dragon could still feel that an unimaginable heavenly tribulation had taken place here. He didn't know what had happened.
However, he immediately saw Ye Xiwen. He was holding a holy sword in his hand.
Ye Xiwen's body still had some residual aura. He had just made the breakthrough into the sage realm. So, some aura hadn't dispersed yet. So, he hadn't been able to control it well. So, he had been discovered by the Wood Dragon.
"Holy sh * t! You weren't crossing the heavenly tribulation here, were you?" The Wood Dragon opened his eyes wide as he looked at Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen's current strength was ridiculously strong as compared to his previous strength. It had made him feel terrified.
One must know that with his strength and innate talent, he had always been the one who made people feel scared, and no one had ever been able to make him feel scared. However, there was still some remnant aura of heavenly tribulation on Ye Xiwen's body, and it really made him feel scared from the bottom of his heart.
It was a kind of feeling of heavenly might. It was a kind of awe that all living things had towards the heavens. This was an instinctive reaction. And, it had nothing to do with him.
"Yes!" Ye Xiwen nodded. He received the holy sword, and threw it into the Heavenly Source Mirror. Ye Mo swallowed it. The Heavenly Source Mirror burst into bursts of scarlet rays of light. And, it illuminated Ye Xiwen's entire inner universe in blood-red color. It seemed as if the universe had turned into a sea of blood.
The rays of light were obviously more dazzling than when he had swallowed the Blood Emperor Seal. A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Xiwen's face because he knew that the Heavenly Source Mirror had recovered a little. It should be said that the Heavenly Source Mirror wasn't the Heavenly Source Mirror, but Ye Mo.
The Heavenly Source Mirror hadn't suffered much damage because they hadn't really fought that time. They had only been maintaining their aura and intimidating each other. Ye Mo was the one who had suffered the real damage.
In fact, there wouldn't be any problem with the Heavenly Source Mirror if Ye Xiwen had been ruthless enough to kill Ye Mo. He could have used it on the spot. However, how could Ye Xiwen be willing to kill Ye Mo?
Ye Mo had been like a teacher and a friend for so many years. He had imparted a lot of knowledge to Ye Xiwen. Ye Xiwen might have died a long time ago without him. He would have died before he had encountered the people of the Ancient Phoenix World. So, he wouldn't give up no matter what.
"Holy sh * t! What kind of heavenly tribulation did you cross? How can it be so terrifying!" The Wood Dragon found it hard to believe. The heavenly tribulation would quickly become calm and tranquil after it had passed. Many of those things that had been smashed by the heavenly tribulation would also quickly recover under the influence of 'spirit energy'. However, he could still feel the aura of so many undercurrents of the heavenly tribulation after such a long time. One could imagine what kind of heavenly tribulation Ye Xiwen had crossed.
"You're really abnormal. People say that I'm an evildoer or something. But, I'm nothing compared to you!" the Wood Dragon said in a rather depressed manner. There were only a few experts of the younger generation in the Northern Dipper Organization. He had cooperated with Qing Xu for quite a long time. So, he didn't want to compare himself with Qing Xu. After all, Qing Xu wasn't a human being. He had reached first even though he had started later.
That was because he was nearly a hundred years older than Qing Xu. He and Qing Xu were considered as experts of the same generation in the eyes of many people. And, the gap of a hundred years wasn't a big deal for their long martial arts practice. However, the feeling of being overtaken by Qing Xu still didn't feel good.
Now that he saw Ye Xiwen, he felt that he was a real monster.
He was somewhat depressed!
"You and Qing Xu are both abnormal. I'm also known as a heaven's pride expert. But, I'm nothing in front of you. This won't do. You two will pull me further and further away from me. I'll go to the Clear Heart Mountain Pass after this mission is over. I won't come out until I surpass you!" the Wood Dragon muttered after he had been stimulated by these two abnormal people in his imagination.
Ye Xiwen couldn't help but laugh. He didn't argue with him. Only he knew that he wasn't a genius. His innate talent wasn't outstanding. So, he couldn't compare himself with these geniuses. He had escaped death many times in order to reach this step. In fact, he couldn't even count how many times he had escaped death.
