But this bit of injury, Ye Yuan did not care at all!
He had a physical body as a carrier. Later, he just had to consume some medicinal pills, and he would naturally be able to recover his strength. But Xie Lingzi could not. He was just a divine soul now. He could not endure this kind of losses at all.
Let alone that Ye Yuan’s divine soul mystic art even completely trounced him.
“I didn’t expect that a junior boy in an age of declining laws actually had such strength! Truly remarkable!” Xie Lingzi said with an ugly look.
“Huhu, a Divine Dao Era’s Tier 9 powerhouse is also merely just so!” Ye Yuan said indifferently.
“Boy, don’t be so rampant by relying on that you have a physical body!” Xie Lingzi said furiously.
“I’m just bullying you by relying on that I have a physical body! So what? Come and bite me! Bite me!” Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.
Xie Lingzi was angered by Ye Yuan until he was huffing and puffing, but he could do nothing about it!
Although this move earlier was just a probe, Xie Lingzi discovered to his dismay that he was not Ye Yuan’s match at all.
When Xie Lingzi heard that there were no Deity Realm powerhouses now, he could not help harboring a sense of looking down on the present martial artists.
But through the exchange with Ye Yuan. He discovered that even if this sort of strength was placed in the Divine Dao Era, it was extremely daunting too.
If Ye Yuan was born in the Divine Dao era, he was bound to be able to achieve Deity Realm!
“Brat, this fleshy body, I don’t want it anymore! Humph, we’ll meet again another day!” Xie Lingzi missed this hit and actually backed out.
It was only to see his figure moved and actually wanted to back out from Ye Yuan’s sea of consciousness.
Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh, “Want to leave? How can it be that easy!”
All of a sudden, the surroundings became pitch-black, unable to see one’s hand in front of them.
Xie Lingzi was just about to escape but discovered to his surprise that there was no path to take. His expression could not help changing drastically as he said, “Boy, you actually sealed off your sea of consciousness! You don’t want to live anymore?”
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “I let you into the sea of consciousness in order to exterminate you in one stroke! Now that you want to escape from here, don’t even think about it!”
Chapter 761. Myriad Soul Extinction |
Xie Lingzi’s expression was ugly to the extreme. He did not think that Ye Yuan deliberately lured him in.
Now, Ye Yuan sealed off the sea of consciousness to fight with him to the death!
This kind of outcome was what Xie Lingzi could not have anticipated at all prior to this.
“Boy, you doing this, do you really take me to be a soft persimmon? If I explode with full power, the two of us, both will die!”
Looking at Xie Lingzi’s appearance, he was actually turning to desperate measures when driven into a corner.
Sealing off the sea of consciousness, even Ye Yuan himself could not sense the existence of his physical body too.
Now, Ye Yuan’s physical body was simply a walking corpse and would not have the least bit of sensation.
But with the Fiery who had just advanced ranks protecting, Ye Yuan was not worried about Grayflame.
Right now, Grayflame was already not much different from a dead dog. Fiery dealing with him was more than plenty.
“Heh, you got to have the capability to do that too! Speaking of which, I very much want to experience the divine soul mystic arts of an ancient powerhouse! How about … we compare notes a little?”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not wait for Xie Lingzi to answer either, and actually attacked straightaway!
“Ice Soul Curse!”
Ye Yuan gave a light cry and actually condensed out a large bunch of ice shards with soul force in an instant, stabbing towards Xie Lingzi.
His approach was pestering non-stop. Even if Xie Lingzi did not want to fight, it was out of the question too!
But Ye Yuan’s divine soul mystic art was very powerful. Even if Xie Lingzi had exceedingly high attainments concerning divine souls, he was still somewhat struggling with cope with things in front of Ye Yuan.
This Ice Soul Curse looked to be an extremely powerful offensive-style divine soul mystic art at one glance. Xie Lingzi’s expression darkened, and he howled, “Nether Soul Shield!”
All of a sudden, Xie Lingzi condensed a gigantic shield with soul force, blocking it in front of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ice shards bombarded toward the shield one by one. Tremendous impact force beat the shield back repeatedly!
But this move was not Ye Yuan’s ace in the hole. After he displayed this move, he had been observing Xie Lingzi’s divine soul mystic art constantly, his gaze revealing a pondering look.
The ancient era’s divine soul mystic arts seemed to be somewhat different from the present.
But where it was different, Ye Yuan could not pinpoint it either.
Ye Yuan’s divine soul mystic arts were numerous. Succeeding in one move, he changed styles unceasingly and carried out an indiscriminate bombing against Xie Lingzi, pressuring Xie Lingzi until he could not catch his breath at all, being exhausted from dealing with it continuously.
Ye Yuan discovered that the divine soul mystic arts he executed seemed to have slightly greater consumption compared to Xie Lingzi.
Although he took the absolute upper-hand, that was the absolute overpowering of strength. The divine soul mystic arts that Xie Lingzi displayed seemed to be more accomplished with high proficiency compared to himself.
This discovery made Ye Yuan very depressed.
Could it be that after the Divine Dao withered, martial artists’ divine soul also had some unknown transformation occurring?
Or was it because present martial artists lacked a little something, so they were unable to advance to the Deity Realm?
In contrast, the more Xie Lingzi fought, the more startled he got!
Ye Yuan was seriously too powerful. All kinds of divine soul mystic arts emerged in endless streams, seemingly inexhaustible!
If it continued like this, he would be exhausted to death by Ye Yuan!
Boom!
Xie Lingzi’s soul force abruptly erupted, slamming away Ye Yuan’s attack directly.
He looked at Ye Yuan like he went mad and roared, “Brat, you forced me! I’ll let you take a look at an ancient powerhouse’s true prowess!”
Xie Lingzi’s arms opened up slightly. A majestic soul force spewed forth from his divine soul akin to an erupting volcano.
While Ye Yuan actually felt a kind of very familiar feeling in this surge of soul force.
“His soul force … it seems to encompass some sort of elusive profundity! Just what is it?” Ye Yuan muttered under his breath, seemingly not paying any attention to this powerful attack at all.
Ye Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart as he said, “Oh right, that’s it! This mysterious aura is precisely the mysterious power contained within the golden characters! It’s just that … Xie Lingzi’s mysterious aura is too weak. If not for him erupting his soul force entirely, I wouldn’t sense it at all! Looks like he’s still a very long way away from Deity Realm!”
“Boy, facing imminent death and you’re actually still in a trance here!”
Xie Lingzi was currently releasing a big move but suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was currently in a daze. This made him feel unbelievable fury.
He was an exalted Divine Dao Era’s big shot and was actually being looked down upon by a junior brat like so. How to make him accept this?
It was only then did Ye Yuan come back to his senses. He had an apologetic smile on his face as he said, “Ah, sorry about that. Thinking about some things earlier and became absentminded. Uh … Fortunately, I can still make it in time right now. This is your strongest
divine soul mystic art? Doesn’t seem like much either. You disappoint me greatly.”
Fortunately, Xie Lingzi was a divine soul body right now. If he still had a physical body now, he would definitely be infuriated until he was heavily injured and vomit blood.
Ye Yuan’s words were seriously too infuriating. He was, at any rate, a former peak Dao Profound powerhouse too. He was actually being despised by a junior!
Except, he had yet to refute in time, and his face revealed a look of astonishment.
“Heh heh, I already have not used this move for a long time. My present soul force is barely able to support this move. Divine Dao Era’s Senior, sample the taste of this move of mine well. Because … you only have one chance to experience it!”
Ye Yuan played it down as he said it, but his soul force quietly dispersed throughout the entire sea of consciousness!
“This … How is this possible? My … My divine soul mystic arts … are actually unable to be used! You … what the hell kind of skill is this?!”
Xie Lingzi had an expression like he saw a ghost. He urged his soul force with all his might. However, his soul force was like withered, unable to be deployed at all.
Xie Lingzi had lived for ten thousand years. The cultivation skills and martial technique he had experienced before were too many to enumerate, but he had yet to see before any kind of divine soul mystic art that could make the opponent unable to even retaliate!
This kind of skill was also too horrifying.
Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, “It’s true that right now is an age of declining laws. But it’s precisely because they are unable to break through to the Deity Realm that martial artists pushed all kinds of methods to the limit, wanting to break through the fetters. Therefore, current martial artists’ strength is not as weak as you imagine! In comparison, same rank martial artists are even more powerful compared to that era of yours! Therefore … don’t look down on martial artists in a waning age!”
Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished face, as if he was a god.
“No! Don’t! I, Xie Lingzi, am someone who’s going to step into Deity Realm! How can I possibly die here?!”
Xie Lingzi yelled out crazily. Yet, no matter how he shouted, he was unable to muster up soul force.
“Myriad … Soul … Extinction!”
Out of Ye Yuan’s mouth, these three words were akin to the sound of a celestial deity.
The moment the words came out, the entire sea of consciousness quietened down.
Xie Lingzi’s mouth was still opening and closing frenziedly, but he could not emit any bit of noise anymore.
His soul force was constantly being extinguished by some inexplicable power.
While Xie Lingzi’s divine soul was like being hit, it was as if he was turning into mosaic tiles, his entire person breaking down into countless fragments!
At the start, these shards could still form a complete divine soul.
But now, those fragments fragmented once more, then they were utterly obliterated!
Chapter 762. Mystic Qi |
With a thud, Ye Yuan plopped onto the ground, panting for air heavily.
“M-Master, is that you?”
Xu Yan had been observing Ye Yuan’s activities by the side all along. But the battle which took place inside the sea of consciousness, he was unable to pry into it.
But in accordance to his judgment, with Xie Lingzi’s strength, it was impossible to lose to such a Divine Traversing Realm brat.
Except, Xu Yan could not quite figure out why Xie Lingzi actually spent such a long time to deal with a brat like this.
Moreover, looking at Ye Yuan’s appearance, it seemed like the cost was huge.
“Huff . . . Huff . . . That damn master of yours is already thoroughly dead now! Using this move right now is indeed somewhat more than I can bear. This time, even if there are medicinal pills assisting, without half a month, I’ll probably be unable to recover,” Ye Yuan panted for air as he said powerlessly.
When Grayflame who was by the side heard Ye Yuan’s words, it was as if he was struck by a thunderbolt in clear weather!
What did he say just now?
Master . . . Master was finished off!
This . . . How was this possible?
Even if Xie Lingzi’s current condition was much worse compared to his pinnacle period, to deal with a Divine Traversing Realm brat like this, it shouldn’t need the slightest effort, right?
Xie Lingzi’s might, the Grayflame who had always been by his side was all too clear. He was actually unable to seize possession of a Divine Traversing Realm boy?
Grayflame was limp and feeble on the ground like mud at this time. But he could not resist lifting his head to take a look at Ye Yuan, as if he had seen a ghost.
This young man before his eyes who was young until it could make people disregard was really a monster-like existence!
He took possession of Xu Yan, then lured Ying Tianya over through Xu Yan’s secret arts. It was originally something that was already in the bag.
Grayflame knew that the ones here this time were all Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. They were simply nothing to be feared to him.
But he took everything into calculations and also did not calculate that such a monster actually came this time!
Ye Yuan consumed a soul force recovering medicinal pill and rested for a while, and finally recovered.
When his gaze landed on Grayflame, Grayflame could not refrain from shuddering.
Ye Yuan flashed a bright smile and said, “You don’t have to be scared. Actually, I just want to ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, it’s not impossible to let you live.”
Grayflame was startled and hurriedly said, “Mi-Milord, go ahead and ask. This lowly one will answer everything!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, “You experienced the Divine Dao Era. Do you know how to achieve the Deity Realm or not?!”
Ye Yuan’s question made Grayflame’s expression became very ugly too.
“Milord, even in the Divine Dao Era, Deity Realm was also an inscrutable realm. Forget about me, even Xie Lingzi lingered in front of this great gate for a long time too, unable to find the correct approach!” Grayflame said with a bitter smile.
Ye Yuan looked at Grayflame with a smile that wasn’t a smile and said, “That’s to say that you don’t have any use at all? Fiery, eradicate his primordial spirit!”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t! I . . . Although I don’t know how to achieve the Deity Realm, I know that there is one thing of utmost importance to achieve Deity Realm!” Grayflame hastily said.
Hearing Grayflame’s words, Ye Yuan was slightly stirred in his heart; he was rather surprised.
Actually, Grayflame saying that he did not know the mystery of becoming a deity was within Ye Yuan’s expectation. Except, it didn’t expect that under Ye Yuan’s bluff, he actually really swindled out some things.
“What thing?” Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart and asked.
Ye Yuan’s life-long goal in his previous life was to achieve the Alchemy God Realm. But he sought after bitterly and did not attain it.
Now that he had a chance to hear the mystery of becoming a deity, how could Ye Yuan not be agitated in his heart?
Grayflame said, “Deity Realm powerhouses and ordinary martial artists are simply people of two different worlds. Even though Xie Lingzi was considered very powerful in the Dao Profound Realm, in front of Deity Realm powerhouses, he didn’t even dare to lift his head. As for how to affirm one’s Dao and become a deity, Deity Realm powerhouses all guarded the secret closely as well. But with Xie Lingzi’s status, he knew some secrets of becoming a deity. Allegedly, achieving Deity Realm is very closely related to something called mystic qi! All martial artists must go through the baptism of mystic qi before they can transform and become a deity!”
Hearing that, Ye Yuan’s brows creased together tightly. “Mystic qi? What is that?”
> Mystic qi, this name, it was Ye Yuan’s first time hearing.
Ji Qingyun was a member of the Divine Realm’s pinnacle-most group in his previous life. With regards to many secrets about Deity Realm, he was aware.
These hundred over thousand years, martial artists had never given up on the research on Deity Realm.
Each major force had its own core-most layer of secrets. Of course, there were also many things regarding Deity Realm that everyone all knew.
But Ye Yuan had never heard before that Deity Realm had something to do with a thing called mystic qi.
Grayflame shook his head when he heard that and said, “I don’t know. Deity Realm powerhouses all did not breathe a word about this to a soul. Even if there was some kind of exchange, that was also something between Deity Realm powerhouses. Martial artists beneath the Deity Realm, they did not place in their sights at all.”
Regarding this, Ye Yuan did not doubt it.
The might of Deity Realm powerhouses, ordinary martial artists had no way of imagining at all.
The gap between the Deity Realm and the Dao Profound Realm had no way of compensating using numbers at all.
No number of Dao Profound Realm powerhouses was a Deity Realm powerhouse’s match!
One could say that Deity Realm powerhouses were completely another level of life-form!
If not for so, they would not be called Deity Realm powerhouses!
Therefore, in the eyes of a Deity Realm powerhouse, ordinary martial artists did not have the qualifications of communicating with them at all.
Ye Yuan could not help revealing a pondering look.
Looks like Deity Realm powerhouses all disappearing overnight brought away too many secrets, resulting in a rupture appearing between the two eras’ martial artists.
As for this mystic qi, it sounds rather like an existence similar to essence energy. It was just that this mystic qi was probably a level higher than essence energy.
But according to what Grayflame said, he did not know what mystic qi was at all. That indicated that this sort of thing was probably not that easy to perceive.
Either it was extremely rare, or it required reaching some sort of profound boundary before one could perceive it. Or perhaps, both at the same time.
