Chapter 38: One Punch Breaks the Emperor Formation 【Seeking Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Review Tickets】
The Southern Ridge and the Central State were separated by the Abyss of Destruction. Even Saint-level cultivators faced the risk of falling in the Abyss of Destruction. Only this passage was a safe way to travel between the two places.
Trade caravans from the Southern Ridge and the Central State used this route to travel between the two places, exchanging goods.
However, at the Heaven-Breaking Pass in the Central State, the Yanlei Immortal Dynasty levied a heavy tax on trade caravans from the Southern Ridge, while only charging caravans from the Central State one percent of the tax levied on Southern Ridge caravans.
This led to the Southern Ridge caravans being inherently disadvantaged compared to the Central State caravans.
It also made it difficult for the Ye Family's various elixirs, magic treasures, celestial materials, armor, and weapons to bring back sufficient profits from the Central State.
This had long been a source of dissatisfaction for all the forces in the Southern Ridge.
But to the surprise of all the forces in the Southern Ridge, the Ye Family, the domineering overlord of the Southern Ridge, remained silent.
This left the forces in the Southern Ridge puzzled and helpless.
Since even the Ye Family, the ancient hegemon of the Southern Ridge, had not spoken, the other forces in the Southern Ridge naturally dared not express their dissatisfaction with the Yanlei Immortal Dynasty, a super power.
In fact, such a high tax was a good thing for the Ye Family!
The Ye Family's little trick was to sell their elixirs, magic treasures, celestial materials, armor, and weapons through their own channels.
If we can't use the official road, then we'll smuggle it.
The Ye Family, as an ancient family, had many ways to do this.
Furthermore, the Ye Family had also produced an Emperor and possessed an Emperor Artifact, not to mention the terrifying and unparalleled Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Ye Xuan. Could any super power really dare to break with the Ye Family?
Since it was their own channel, they would receive 100% of the profits themselves!
Therefore, the Ye Family also gained a vast fortune!
Of course, this had a prerequisite, which was that the Ye Family's elixirs, magic treasures, celestial materials, armor, and weapons were of much higher quality than those of other forces!
It has to be said that thanks to Ye Xuan's incredible comprehension, the Ye Family's elixirs, magic treasures, armor, and weapons had been improved by Ye Xuan, making their quality far exceed market standards.
And the celestial materials, which had previously only grown naturally, had been cultivated by Ye Xuan using his knowledge from his previous life. Combined with the Divine City of the Ye Family, where the spiritual energy was so dense that it was almost liquid, the Ye Family could now mass-produce low- and mid-grade celestial materials!
This led to the Ye Family's elixirs, magic treasures, armor, and weapons being extremely popular in the market.
Compared to high-grade celestial materials, the market for low- and mid-grade celestial materials was larger, with a wider audience, naturally leading to extremely terrifying profits!
Five thousand years ago, Ye Xuan, wielding the Ultimate Emperor Artifact, the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda, secretly opened three passages in the Abyss of Destruction. Although none of them were as safe as the Zhuxian Pass - Heaven-Breaking Pass, the profits were terrifyingly high!
Moreover, with caution, even King-level experts could pass through safely!
It was through this method that the Ye Family had accumulated a vast fortune over the past five thousand years.
With wealth comes the need to invest in education.
Under Ye Xuan's guidance, the Ye Family's educational system was undoubtedly the most complete in the entire Desolate Heaven Realm.
Even the primary schools for young children were taught by at least King-level experts, with even Saints occasionally visiting to give lectures.
As for middle school and even university, the teachers were either Saints or Saint Kings, with even a few Great Saints among them.
It was precisely through this complete educational system, a rational contribution system, and sufficient resources.
In the past five thousand years, the Ye Family had cultivated a number of middle and lower levels that were beyond anyone's imagination, even Saints and Saint Kings!
Moreover, the strongest among those talented individuals were only a step away from becoming Great Saints!
It can be said that the Ye Family at this moment, excluding Ye Xuan and the Emperor-level and Quasi-Emperor-level foundations, was enough to rival the combined strength of five to six super powers!
This was one of the reasons why Ye Xuan held such authority in the Ye Family.
Of course, the outside world didn't know this.
The outside world only believed that the Ye Family had entered a golden age, with talented and powerful individuals emerging constantly.
There was nothing surprising about this, everyone had experienced it, but the Ye Family was simply more extravagant.
Digressing, although the extremely high tax on the Heaven-Breaking Pass was actually a good thing for the Ye Family.
But the Ye Family was also dissatisfied with this. Are you intentionally doing this, Yanlei Immortal Dynasty? That's fine, this is a good opportunity to vent our anger!
It would be even better if we could overthrow this Heaven-Breaking Pass!
"Humph! Ye Changming, just pray that your Ye Xuan, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor, can withstand the Emperor Killing Formation of the Heaven-Breaking Pass!"
Since there was no room for discussion, Situ Xuan wasn't planning to continue with empty words.
They could just have a big fight!
The Emperor Killing Formation might not be as powerful as an Ultimate Emperor Artifact, but it could still match an Emperor Artifact!
Situ Xuan still didn't believe that the Ye Family had a second Ultimate Emperor Artifact!
"Come and try it."
Ye Xuan's voice came from the flagship, carrying a trace of Quasi-Immortal Emperor might, shaking Situ Xuan's consciousness.
Situ Xuan's expression changed, and he forgot about continuing to threaten. He quickly fled.
It was too terrifying.
He was worthy of being a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
A single trace of Quasi-Immortal Emperor might was so terrifying.
However, it was still not as terrifying as Emperor might!
"Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation! Activate!"
Once he returned to the Heaven-Breaking Pass, Situ Xuan immediately controlled the Heaven-Breaking Pass and activated the Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation!
In an instant, the entire Heaven-Breaking Pass was radiating Emperor might, and countless Emperor Dao Laws condensed on it, as if they were going to recreate the might of the Emperor of the past!
At the same time, as the Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation erupted, the endless Abyss of Destruction that separated the Southern Ridge from the Central State seemed to be on the verge of going berserk.
Even the safe passage not far behind the Ye Family's fleet showed signs of disappearing.
The hearts of those from the Comprehensive Martial Arts world were raised to their throats at this moment.
"What a terrifying Heaven-Breaking Pass! Just looking at it, I feel like my consciousness is about to shatter."
"Yeah, those rays of light are simply terrifying."
"Is this the Emperor Formation that Ye Family's Great Saint mentioned before?"
"I wonder if Ye Xuan can withstand it."
"Definitely not, after all, one is an Emperor Killing Formation, and the other is only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor at the third level, the gap is too great."
"Hard to say. If he can't withstand it, what did Ye Xuan come here for? He can't be suicidal, can he?"
"That's right, I think Ye Xuan will definitely be able to withstand it. Don't forget, the Ye Family has an Ultimate Emperor Artifact!"
"Yeah, yeah, that's an Ultimate Emperor Artifact, it's not something an Emperor Formation can compare to!"
Although they said this, those from the Comprehensive Martial Arts world didn't really believe that Ye Xuan would bring the Ye Family's Ultimate Emperor Artifact with him.
That was the Ye Family's strongest foundation!
But how would Ye Xuan deal with this Emperor Killing Formation?
Everyone continued to watch the projection, waiting for Ye Xuan's response.
"Humph!"
In the projection, Ye Xuan snorted coldly.
He didn't want the three safe passages he had opened five thousand years ago to be destroyed just like that.
Even the official safe passage that the Ancient Emperor had opened and which had been reinforced by many Emperors was like this. Just imagine what would happen to the pirated safe passages he had opened.
So, the Abyss of Destruction absolutely could not go berserk!
Ye Xuan threw the three-legged two-eared cauldron in his hand, and streams of Xuanhuang Primal Qi descended, instantly suppressing the Abyss of Destruction that was on the verge of going berserk!
"What! It's really an Ultimate Emperor Artifact!"
"The Ye Family, they actually have a second Ultimate Emperor Artifact!"
Situ Xuan was dumbfounded, truly dumbfounded.
As the highest commander of the Heaven-Breaking Pass, he knew very well that to suppress the Abyss of Destruction on the verge of going berserk, only an Emperor could do it!
And to display the Emperor's might, only an Ultimate Emperor Artifact could do it!
Otherwise, even an Emperor Artifact, although incredibly powerful, was still far from the Emperor's might!
Of course, there was a slim possibility that even if this Emperor Artifact wasn't an Ultimate Emperor Artifact and didn't have the Emperor's Will within it, its inherent power would be comparable to an Ultimate Emperor Artifact, or even surpass it!
This kind of Emperor Artifact beyond imagination did exist in the ancient history of the Desolate Heaven Realm, but Situ Xuan didn't want to think about it.
If it was really that kind of Emperor Artifact, then there was no point in fighting, just surrender.
One required a huge price to awaken the Emperor's/Ancient Emperor's Will to display the might of the Emperor/Ancient Emperor using the Ultimate Emperor Artifact, while the other could display the Emperor's/Ancient Emperor's might at any time.
Comparing the two, what was there to fight about!
"Suppress!"
Ye Xuan let out a cold shout, the Xuanhuang Primal Qi spewing from the three-legged two-eared cauldron became even more intense, directly replacing the Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation in suppressing the endless Abyss of Destruction!
"Good opportunity!"
Situ Xuan's eyes lit up, believing that Ye Xuan was definitely using all his strength to activate the Ultimate Emperor Artifact, leaving him no time for anything else.
He immediately mobilized all his divine power and activated the Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation with full force.
In an instant, the countless Emperor Dao Laws of the Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation condensed into a divine spear, and then, in a manner that transcended time and space, it instantly appeared in front of the Ye Family's fleet.
The thick Emperor might caused everyone on the Ye Family's fleet to change their expressions, their legs went weak, and they felt like kneeling down.
"So this is the famous Heaven-Breaking Emperor Formation, nothing special!"
Ye Xuan ignored the thick Emperor might, stood up, and punched towards the divine spear completely condensed from Emperor Dao Laws.
The Dao Laws roared, and the Emperor Dao Laws howled!
The divine spear condensed from Emperor Dao Laws instantly shattered.
The endless Emperor Dao Laws scattered in all directions, destroying everything in their path.
However, the Heaven-Breaking Pass was still radiating endless Emperor might, as if that punch was just a test!
