Xi Longyi had already condensed his saber intent and so when he unleashed his saber slash, saber light was released and it carried a destructive power that sought to cleave everything before it into two.

Saber intent was like sword intent and other intents formed from users of weapons. It doesn’t even need to be a weapon but it can also be fist intent or palm intent as well.

In addition the intent can be infused to other techniques and weapons as well. For example a cultivator can condense his fist intent into a hammer, or a sword intent can be infused into a hand chop.

A cultivator can only cultivate one kind of intent and with the creation of one’s intent, the cultivators' understanding of himself and his weapon would drastically increase. It was not wrong to say that for a saber cultivator or sword cultivator, condensing an intent is a major benchmark for all cultivators. Of course not every cultivator condenses an intent.

The intent itself wasn't important, but the concept behind the intent.

Lei Jingye facing the majestic saber light could only dodge.

“Look at your disheveled appearance, it even makes me pity you.” Xi Longyi didn’t forget to insult Lei Jingye while he was down, as expected of a villain like character.

“Xi Longyi, I’ve never done anything to you. Why did you kill my clan? And now you even kidnapped my woman!”

The words Lei Jingye spoke weren’t doing Tianyi any favors either. His already chaotic thoughts became even muddier.

Surprisingly, Lei Jingye was also in the Nascent Soul realm in the way of martial cultivation. Despite this, no matter what arts or techniques Lei Jingye unleashed, they were all blocked by Xi Longyi with ease.

Xi Longyi even had the leisure to keep Daoyi at his side, not worried about Lei Jinye harming Daoyi. However it could also be that due to Daoyi being kept to Xi Longyi, Lei Jingye was unable to unleash his killer moves for fear of harming her.

All this while, Xi Longyi still had enough energy to taunt Lei Jingye.

“Oh, little worm don’t you find it weird? Before I even killed your clan, your soul should be urging and even pushing you to kill me no matter what!”

Lei Jingye’s movement became stiffened for a moment before he resumed his attacks.

“Aren’t you curious? What is this feeling that you can’t explain in your heart? The killing intent that you had the moment you and I met is even stronger than the one you gained from me killing your clan? Is it not weird?”

With each word that came out of Xi Longyi’s mouth, Lei Jingye’s fist became even more powerful as a vast and encompassing aura surrounded him, like a giant mountain.

Xi Longyi finally lost the carefree smile on his face and tossed Daoyi to the side, away from the field of battle.

“Dao’er!” Lei Jingye cried out, but he soon didn’t have time to worry about Daoyi as Xi Longyi’s attack became even more focused and unrelenting.

Tianyi however had the leisure. Although the battle at this level was rare even for him, he still checked on Daoyi. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was just unconscious.

However a thought soon occurred to him, maybe it would be better to die here rather than be used for Xi Longyi’s plans.

“I didn’t expect you to exhibit this much strength. I guess it wasn’t a coincidence you were able to escape from me the first time!” Despite Lei Jingye’s strength surpassing his expectations, Xi Longyi didn’t appear worried and still had a trace of his carefree demeanor.

Lei Jingye stayed silent throughout and continued to strengthen his assault on Xi Longyi. Tianyi was able to tell from the red light that was beginning to condense on Lei Jingye’s body, that he was burning his blood essence for the sudden increase of strength.

Yet Xi Longyi didn’t back off as Lei Jingye’s strength increased. Although the rate of accumulation of injuries on Lei Jingye’s body decreased, Xi Longyi continued to be as stable as Mount Tai. There wasn’t even a single injury on his body.

It was clear to Tianyi that Lei Jingye wasn’t a match for Xi Longyi.

Before long, Lei Jingye’s assault began to weaken and so did his aura. Taking this chance Xi Longyi unleashed one of his killer moves. His saber began to shine like the sun as a magnificent dragon’s roar was heard and he slashed down.

The attack seemed to cut through space itself as it struck Lei Jingye.

When all hope seemed to be lost, a red glow covered Lei Jingye’s body and protected him. The red light only diminished the lethality of Xi Longyi’s saber slash, a gaping gash still appeared on Lei Jingye’s chest and revealed his white rib cage. The red light, although weakened considerably, didn’t fade and it carried Lei Jingye away.

For the first time, Xi Longyi appeared stunned before rage colored his face. “Worm you actually refined my Red Dragon Lotus!?” There was a tone of incredulity in his voice as he gave chase. But he was unable to catch the red light streaking away in the sky.

“Xi Longyi, just wait till my injuries heal and I advance. The day of your death will be near then!”

Lei Jingye’s words echoed in the sky and carried heavy killing intent, but it was evident that there was weakness in his voice.

Xi Longyi snorted as he calmed himself down. “Just a worm that was lucky, the next time I see you. It will be the day of your death.” Saying so he picked up Daoyi who was still unconscious and flew away.

With the passing of time, Tianyi felt increasingly helpless as Xi Longyi suppressed Daoyi and forcibly made her cultivate the Nascent Soul Realm.

Although Tianyi didn’t know the method to create a Living Pill, Xi Longyi obviously did and with each passing day Tianyi wanted to run away even more and not watch the step by step process.

But it was like watching a horror movie, no matter how much you dreaded what came next, you would be unable to avert your eyes. It was human’s innate sense of curiosity and wanting to seek the truth.

Tianyi was currently in such a state, there was faint hope that Lei Jingye would be able to rescue Daoyi. Although there was a sense of disconnection in his chest knowing that Daoyi was Lei Jinye’s woman in this world, Tianyi sincerely hoped that Lei Jingye would be able to rescue her.

But the hope diminished with each passing day as Daoyi’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation came closer and closer. Coupled with Xi Longyi’s increasing cultivation, Tianyi could already see Lei Jingye arriving only after Xi Longyi became a Unity Realm Venerable.

“Lei Jingye, you useless piece of shit. Xi Longyi isn’t even in the sect, yet you can’t even find him and disrupt his plans?”

Because refining Living Pills was a major taboo, there was no way Xi Longyi would bring Daoyi back to the Buzhou Immortal Sect, where immortals were common. Immortals weren't as common as the clouds as the sky, but there was no doubt that the majority of immortals on the Heaven Continent were gathered at the Buzhou Immortal Sect.

And so Xi Longyi for the past few decades had been living outside of the sect in a secluded immortal estate, away from prying eyes. Even if he left to go adventure, he would still have ways to watch over Daoyi.

Tianyi could see that with each passing day the hope in Daoyi’s eyes was slowly being extinguished.

Until the day before her Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, all hope was lost and Daoyi’s eyes only held expectation, the expectation towards death.

The next day Daoyi was sitting in a formation that Xi Longyi had helped her set up. Xi Longyi himself was watching from afar, so that he would not be caught up in the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.

However Xi Longyi began to frown when Daoyi did nothing as the tribulation clouds began to condense and even streaks of lightning appeared.

“Jiang Daoyi, what are you doing? Do you want to die?” Xi Longyi said.

Hearing this, Daoyi looked up and gave her life's most beautiful smile that stole Xi Longyi’s breath away.

“What difference is there? The only choice I have is whether to die from the Heavenly Tribulation or to die to you after you turn me to a Living Pill. Even though you didn’t explicitly say it, I am not stupid.”

Xi Longyi was stunned for a moment before a rare gentle smile appeared on his face. “Don’t be foolish, Daoyi. How could I bear for you to die? After everything is over, I have an immortal pill that can let you keep your life and beauty.”

Daoyi laughed, it was a laugh as pleasant as the chime of bells filled with madness. “And then what? Live under you without any power, waiting for the day you tire of me? Xi Longyi don’t overestimate yourself. Do you think women are just things you can use and throw away!?” Daoyi looked away from Xi Longyi and stared straight at the tribulation clouds. “COME!”

At her once a lightning bolt descended and struck her. Xi Longyi was stunned, he couldn’t believe that this crazy woman would really allow herself to be struck by tribulation lightning. If a cultivator died to tribulation lightning, their souls would be destroyed and unable to enter the cycle of samsara to be reborn again.

Xi Longyi only stayed stunned for a moment before he directly flew above Daoyi and blocked the next strike of tribulation lightning. Even Tianyi was stunned by Xi Longyi’s actions.

Even if you have a Living Pill, if the damage caused by tribulation lightning was too much then having a Living Pill would be a useless venture. It was like getting damaged by 50 percent in order to refine a medicine that can heal a person for 40 percent. Of course with Xi Longyi’s strength, it was completely possible for him to block Daoyi’s tribulation for her even if the Heavenly Tribulation Increased his strength.

But what shocked Tianyi even more was that the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to drastically increase its strength far above the Nascent Soul realm.

“Unity Heavenly Tribulation!?” Tianyi cried out in shock as he looked at Xi Longyi as if he was a madman. Not only did he take the initiative to enter Daoyi’s Heavenly Tribulation, he also unleashed his own Heavenly Tribulation at the same time.

“Haha, Daoyi. Interesting, interesting. I’m beginning to become even more interested in you!” Xi Longyi said, he began to release his aura that seemed to make heaven itself bow before him.

Tianyi watched the Heavenly Tribulation strike Xi Longyi over and over again, while he protected Daoyi at the same time.

It was an incredible display of strength, even Tianyi who despised Xi Longyi had to admit he was incredibly charismatic and valiant at this time.

However an accident occurred. Or rather an interloper interfered.

Who else could it be but Lei Jingye?

Lei Jingye had changed drastically as his formerly black hair was now stark white, although his face still retained his youthful looks. But his skin was sallow and grey as if death was a hair’s breadth away.

“Xi Longyi! I’ve come for revenge!” Saying this, Lei Jingye entered the range of the Heavenly Tribulation, increasing its power even more!

It was at this moment that Lei Jingye revealed his shocking blood filled aura and his Unity realm cultivation base!

“Lei Jingye, you maniac! You refined countless mortals and forcibly raised your cultivation but your lifespan is reduced to the point that you don’t even have half a year left to live!” Xi Longyi said. Although he had called Lei Jingye worm before, he had expended countless resources to look for Lei Jingye and with each failure the name of Lei Jingye was deeply carved into his mind.

What was the scariest opponent? Many people had different answers.

Some might say it was someone whose strength far surpasses theirs.

Others would say it was an unknown enemy.

But for Xi Longyi at this moment, it was a suicidal maniac who did not fear death.

Lei Jingye chased Xi Longyi crazily without rest, unleashing killer moves after killer moves. Each attack decreased his remaining lifespan, but the blood aura on his body increased even further.

Xi Longyi was being continuously pushed back, unable to attack. Not only did he have to block Lei Jingye’s attack, but also the tribulation lightning whose strength increased passed his threshold.

It was an exciting battle for sure, one that Tianyi watched with bated breath. He hoped that Lei Jingye would be able to triumph or at the very least kill Xi Longyi before he died. This way, Daoyi would at least be able to live.

By now, Tianyi had already realized why Lei Jingye hated him. Lei Jingye was a transmigrator from the future, where his other self, Xi Longyi, pushed him to the brink and so Lei Jingye swore revenge on Tianyi, even though they were two different people.

But for Lei Jingye, it probably didn’t matter. Tianyi was his nemesis who killed his clan and stole his woman.

Although, if he found out that Daoyi became my junior sister, what expression would he make? Tianyi found his thoughts wandering again as he pinched his chin. There was a sense of anticipation in Tianyi’s heart.

Tianyi's attention was brought back to the battle.

In the end Xi Longyi prevailed over Lei Jingye and successfully passed his tribulation and entered the Unity realm, but his state wasn’t good.

Xi Longyi glared hatefully at Lei Jingye before stumbling towards Daoyi who had also been successfully promoted to the Nascent Soul realm.

Daoyi was unable to move as Xi Longyi had activated the seal on her body that he set up beforehand. Daoyi watched with wide and fearful eyes with each step Xi Longyi took, coming closer and closer to her.

Finally his bloody hand latched onto Daoyi’s throat before he roughly kissed her on the lips.

But Daoyi’s heart became even colder as she felt her qi, her vitality, even her soul being sucked out of her and into Xi Longyi.

“Y-y-you bastard. Stop this!” The whites of Lei Jingye’s eyes had already been dyed red from his tears of blood as he watched the woman he loved slowly wither under Xi Longyi’s action.

With each passing moment Daoyi aged even more before she finally became a skeleton with only skin latching onto her and all the hair had long fallen off of her head. It was a wretched look that made Tianyi want to vomit.

And vomited he did, as blood leaked from his mouth.

He could understand why Lei Jingye wanted Xi Longyi dead. Unfortunately this grudge had to be shouldered by his innocent self.

Tianyi watched as the last spark of Daoyi’s life faded away, and Xi Longyi recovered from all his injuries. But Xi Longyi had an extremely gloomy expression as he stared hatefully at Lei Jingye, as if Lei Jingye was the one who killed his whole clan and stole his woman.

For the remainder of Lei Jingye’s life, Xi Longyi tortured him everyday without rest.

By this point Tianyi had already formed a bone deep hatred for Xi Longyi. Although he didn’t know of the Daoyi of this world, she was still his junior sister and to see her go through all that made his heart fill with fury but with nowhere to unleash it.

Tianyi continued to watch on with cold eyes as Xi Longyi passed his life after that day until he reached the Transcending Mortality realm and began his Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

However in the middle of Xi Longyi’s Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, an unexpected person appeared.

It was none other than his mother, Xi Mengfei!

However different from the looks that Tianyi remembered it to be, her appearance was that of sixteen to seventeen years old, like the first time Tianyi saw her as a baby with none of the maturity and aura of a mother.

Her eyes were indifferent as she looked at Xi Longyi.

Suddenly a translucent sword that seemed to have been made from black crystal appeared in her hand. It was a breathtakingly beautiful weapon, and Tianyi even saw his own reflection on it, despite having no reflection in this dreamlike world.

Xi Mengfei raised her sword and then slashed downward.

Instantly a sword made of tribulation lightning descended onto Xi Longyi.

Xi Longyi didn’t have any preparation or a chance as he was directly pierced by the sword. Afterwards the tribulation clouds disappeared immediately, having judged that Xi Longyi failed.

And Xi Longyi looked incredulously at Xi Mengfei while blood leaked from every orifice on him and his vitality seeped away. He had already lost his ability to speak, but his expression spoke for itself.

“Dragon Emperor, did you really think that I didn’t know?” Xi Mengfei said, causing Xi Longyi to be greatly shocked. His shocked expression soon turned to wrath as he glared hatefully at Xi Mengfei.

“I had hoped that it was simply me thinking too much and it was simply the Dragon Emperor’s influence. But I gave you so many chances, I learned long ago my child was already dead. Dead the moment he was conceived, killed by you.”

Mengfei didn’t say anything else as she watched Xi Longyi, no the Dragon Emperor waste away. When the Dragon Emperor lost all sign of his life, Mengfei raised her sword and minced the Dragon Emperor’s body with her sword lights.

Tianyi felt his lips twitching. “Can this also be considered cutting grass at its roots?”

However he soon stiffened as he saw Xi Mengfei directly gazing into his eyes. His heart chilled as he realized that the Xi Mengfei of this world could see him!

But he didn’t have to worry for long as when the sword light that minced the Dragon Emperor’s body faded away, his consciousness also faded and he soon entered darkness.
