Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 358: This Little Thing is Not Human at All!

On the other side, the two peak Venerable Realm experts were astonished when they saw Ning Xuan had no reaction at all.

The expert on the left spoke again, uttering the same proverb. When he saw Ning Xuan still wasn't reacting, he was about to explain.

This time, the two Great Saint's disciples, who had just recovered their senses, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"Please, just stop talking. I'm embarrassed for you!"

The two experts looked at the disciples, both with puzzled expressions.

"This man," one of the Great Saint's disciples began, "only recently stepped into the Venerable Realm. But haven't you noticed he's already at the Second Layer Heavens?"

The three experts all turned to look at Ning Xuan, their eyes glittering with a dazzling light. Immediately, all three were shocked.

"Did he really advance while in the Chaos Boundary Sea?!" the expert who wanted to take Ning Xuan as a servant demanded, his breath coming in ragged bursts. If it were true, it meant he had stumbled upon a priceless treasure!

"Not only did he reach the Venerable Realm here in the Chaos Boundary Sea, but he also broke into the Emperor Realm the same way! Let me think… From the King Realm to his current realm, it probably only took him a few dozen hours."

The moment the words fell, a wave of disbelief washed over the experts.

"What?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I don't believe it!" the three Supreme Venerable experts exclaimed in unison. No one could ascend so many realms in such a short period!

"You all are just too slow," Ning Xuan said. "It took you a hundred years to reach your current realm. As for me, I've only been cultivating for three years at most… No, wait, it might be even less. Let me calculate…"

As he spoke, Ning Xuan became lost in his own world, beginning to calculate in earnest.

The two Great Saint's disciples and the three Supreme Venerables glanced at each other, their composure completely shattered. With their keen eyes, they knew that what Ning Xuan had said was the truth. The Supreme Venerable who had been so arrogant just moments before now felt his face burn with shame, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into and hide. They had reached the peak of the Venerable Realm in a century and thought it a remarkable achievement. But compared to this youth of the Human Race, they were nothing more than fools. It was laughable how self-important they had been.

No! I absolutely will not allow such a talented Human Race prodigy to exist here!

An intense killing intent suddenly surged in the heart of one of the Supreme Venerables. The next moment, he vanished. He was going to eliminate this prodigy.

There was no warning, just an expert exploiting the weak with his superior strength. An eliminated prodigy was just a corpse. Here, no powerful figure would ever step forward to defend him. A dead Human Race prodigy was just a death in vain.

The Supreme Venerable soared through the air and appeared before Ning Xuan, a broad smile on his face. But just as he did, he noticed a mocking smirk form on the corner of Ning Xuan's lips.

This is bad!

In the instant his expression changed, he felt an endless killing intent lock onto him. It was already too late to dodge.

SLASH!

An unparalleled sword beam flashed, and the Supreme Venerable was instantly obliterated.

Ning Xuan stood proudly, holding the Cloud Floating Sword as it continued to hum. A terrifying Sword Intent ravaged the space. The slain expert's body was caught in the Ferocious Gang Wind and disintegrated into dust in an instant.

A single sword strike, and a Supreme Venerable had fallen. The sight was utterly stunning.

What was even more terrifying was that after succeeding with his first strike, Ning Xuan took the initiative to attack again.

WHOOSH!

The Cloud Floating Sword unleashed a frightening sword beam, shooting straight toward another Supreme Venerable.

"Audacious!" the Venerable roared in fury. This little creature was completely lawless! How dare he take the initiative to attack an existence like him? Did he really think he was helpless?

However, just as the Venerable gathered his terrifying Element Force, he froze in shock. He was being inexplicably restrained by an unknown power. Looking up, he shrieked in horror, "The Ink Jade Pouch—"

Before he could finish the word, another peerless beam of light from the Cloud Floating Sword slashed through.

SLASH!

Yet another Supreme Venerable was forcefully obliterated.

The remaining Supreme Venerable and the two Great Saint's disciples all inhaled sharply and retreated in unison. Although the youth had used a Magical Treasure, his grasp of timing was simply sublime. His combat awareness was in no way inferior to that of a Supreme Venerable. This was too terrifying.

When Ning Xuan turned his head, his gaze locked onto the final Supreme Venerable. The man's heart jolted. He took two steps back and said with a trembling voice, "I… I'm not like them. A moment ago, I was going to ask you to join me…"

Before he could finish, the Venerable retreated dozens of yards, because Ning Xuan had already made his move.

As his strike missed, Ning Xuan's voice rang out, "We both know perfectly well what you were truly thinking!"

"I wanted to welcome you, yet you tried to kill me! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" the Venerable bellowed, now incensed as well. He stood at the pinnacle of the Venerable Realm and would not tolerate being looked down upon by a mere Human Race youth.

The response was another swing of Ning Xuan's sword, accompanied by the Ink Jade Pouch that flickered in and out of existence above his head.

However, the Supreme Venerable was prepared, his vigilance raised to its absolute peak. For the moment, Ning Xuan couldn't touch him with just these two Magical Treasures. The Venerable's eyes blazed, his gaze shifting between Ning Xuan, the Cloud Floating Sword, and the movements of the Ink Jade Pouch. He wanted them all. After all, each one was a treasure of the highest quality.

Ning Xuan's expression remained calm as he swung his sword again and again. The coordination between the Cloud Floating Sword and the Ink Jade Pouch grew increasingly seamless, but it was still utterly useless.

"Give it up," the Venerable taunted from across the distance. "The gap between us cannot be bridged by Magical Treasures!"

Suddenly, Ning Xuan cracked a sly smile.

The Venerable's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly retreated a hundred yards. His muscles tensed as he prepared for a powerful foe. This kid was full of tricks, and he had to remain vigilant at all times. He absolutely could not end up like the other two.

But after waiting a long while, Ning Xuan made no move. The Venerable's expression turned ugly.

"Are you toying with me?!"

From a distance, Ning Xuan simply nodded with a smile.

The Venerable was livid. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that same sly smile appear on Ning Xuan's lips again. He had been about to step forward but instinctively retreated once more.

Across from him, Ning Xuan burst into hearty laughter.

"You're courting death!" the Venerable roared, thrusting his palm forward.

A Ferocious Gang Wind, like a tsunami, morphed into a tornado and hurtled straight at Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan had no intention of dodging. He was engulfed in an instant.

Just as the Venerable and the two Great Saint's disciples furrowed their brows, Ning Xuan's voice echoed from within the storm.

"Thank you for your assistance, Senior!"

The two Great Saint's disciples were stunned. The Supreme Venerable's eyes flickered with understanding, and then he spat out a single, furious word through gritted teeth.

"Damn!!"

He was shaking with rage, for they all realized that Ning Xuan had advanced another layer within his realm.

Venerable Realm Third Layer Heavens!

Damn it! This kid wasn't even human! How could a member of the Human Race be so heaven-defying?

The Supreme Venerable, in particular, began to question reality itself. He thought he had held the absolute upper hand, but it turned out this little brat had been using him the entire time. Damn, damn, damn! His blood boiled, and the killing intent in his heart blazed hotter than ever. This wretched kid had to die!

At that moment, the Supreme Venerable's eyes turned blood-red. A terrifying aura erupted from his body and swept across the heavens.

On the other side, Ning Xuan's mouth once again curved into that same sly smile. This time, however, the Supreme Venerable remained unmoved.

But in the next instant, a sword suddenly appeared right in front of him.
