The Vast Heaven Stele was absorbed by him into his body. Ordinary people could not detect it at all. But the skeleton actually laid bare the truth with a single comment!
Looks like this skeleton not making a move the entire time was probably because of the Vast Heaven Stele. Otherwise, if he swung a saber down, most likely no one could withstand it.
“Senior recognizes the Vast Heaven Stele?” Ye Yuan did not deny it but answered with a question instead.
“Of course, I know it! The Vast Heaven Stele’s former owner was one of the leaders of the human race!” the skeleton said slowly.
“Former owner? Could Senior be talking about Senior Fang Tian?” Ye Yuan said curiously.
But the skeleton shook its head and said, “Fang Tian? Looks like the Vast Heaven Stele has already changed quite a few generations of owners. No idea how long I’ve slumbered here either. But since you obtained the Vast Heaven Stele, looks like the time for the Divine Realm’s great calamity has arrived again.”
Ye Yuan’s expression became apprehensive. Looks like this skeleton’s era before his death was even further back than he imagined!
Furthermore, hearing the meaning in the skeleton’s words, seemed like it was all ominous foreboding once the Vast Heaven Stele came into being.
Recalling Fang Tian’s experiences that Long Teng mentioned before, seemed like it was really the case. That whatever Heavenly Fiendgod sounded like a very powerful existence when one heard it.
If not for Fang Tian, most likely, the Divine Realm’s situation right now would definitely not be like this.
Now that 50 thousand years had passed, could it be another round of samsara again?
But Long Teng did not elaborate in detail regarding that earth-shattering great battle 50 thousand years ago and did not disclose more things. The specific circumstances, Ye Yuan did not know either.
Except, undercurrents seemed to be flowing in the Divine Realm presently. Could it be … related to the great calamity the skeleton talked about?
“Senior, just what kind of great calamity will the Divine Realm encounter? Is it possible that it’s related to some extent with this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array? According to what Junior knows, this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was also an extremely formidable array formation in the Ancient Era. Just what kind of an existence is this boneyard suppressing?” Ye Yuan was filled with doubts.
“Since you recognize this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, why did you still bring so many people inside? At present, the grand array has already loosened. That thing will accelerate the breaking of the seal after obtaining so much blood feed!” the skeleton said.
Ye Yuan’s expression changed when he heard that. He briefly recounted the events that happened in this period of time.
The skeleton kept silent after hearing it. He only opened his mouth after some time and said, “You went through the trouble. It’s just that your strength is too poor. Coming in makes no difference too. Just now, if not for sensing the Vast Heaven Stele, you guys would already all be dead men.”
The skeleton’s words were very calm, as though talking about something that was not worth mentioning. Blackwind this great circle of Tier 8, he thought nothing of him at all.
Ye Yuan did not doubt this skeleton’s words in the slightest. This person was surely a peerless powerhouse during his lifetime.
Even if he was only left with a skeleton now, the feeling that he gave him was also incredibly dangerous.
Except, being looked down upon by a skeleton, Ye Yuan was helpless too. Even though Ye Yuan was already going all out to increase his strength, it was still not quite adequate to look at!
Facing this kind of ancient-class powerhouse, even if countless tens of thousands of years had elapsed, he was not a match.
“Bring them away. This fiendgod is going to come into being very soon! You all can’t stop him! What are those Deity Realm powerhouses all doing, to actually let you guys, these babies, come to die!” The skeleton said unhappily.
Ye Yuan was speechless again when he heard that and said with a sigh, “Senior, the Divine Realm’s Divine Dao has already dwindled to zero for over 100 thousand years! Ever since then, there are no longer Divine Realm powerhouses!”
“What?! Divine Dao dwindled to zero!” Hearing this news, the skeleton finally lost composure.
Only after a long time did the skeleton sigh and said, “I’m only a remnant soul now, completely unable to feel Heavenly Dao. Could it be that the Divine Realm has entered an age of declining laws? Forget it, I’m already dead for god knows how many years and can’t bother with matters after my death either. I can only give a last bit of meager strength.”
Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart. Between the lines of this skeleton’s words, it all revealed the might of the fiendgod this place was suppressing!
Once an existence like this broke out, who knew what kind of a catastrophe the Divine Realm would have to suffer!
“Senior, isn’t there any way at all?” Ye Yuan said unresignedly.
“Back then, the one who sealed the fiendgod with this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was the Vast Heaven Stele’s owner. He was one of the leaders of the human race, and even he was incapable of killing this fiendgod. You can imagine his power! Even though you acquired the Vast Heaven Stele, your strength is too weak and don’t have the ability to deal with the fiendgod at all. Furthermore, you said that somebody is intentionally weakening the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array. Most likely, he’ll be able to break out before long,” the skeleton said.
How powerful the Vast Heaven Stele’s owner the skeleton talked about was, Ye Yuan had no way of imagining. But he was certain that as the leader of the human race at that time, the Vast Heaven Stele’s owner’s strength was definitely formidable to the extreme.
Even he had no way of killing the fiendgod. It could be seen how powerful this fellow was.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, “According to what Senior said, this fiendgod has already been sealed for several tens of thousands of years. Likely, his strength at present is just a mere fraction already. If talking about killing the fiendgod, wouldn’t now be the best opportunity?”
The skeleton was silent for a while and said, “Junior, you’re very responsible! But there’s no way that you’re his match. You have the Vast Heaven Stele on hand, best to cultivate as quickly as possible! That way, perhaps there’s still a gleam of chance to kill the fiendgod!”
But Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, “Junior … wants to give it a go!”
Chapter 837. All Facets of Life |
Rumble …
All of a sudden, the whole world started trembling.
Ye Yuan’s expression changed. This tremor clearly came from the direction of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array.
“Has it begun? Looks like I’ve reached the time to leave as well! Junior, future matters will be entrusted to you! On you, I saw the shadow of the Vast Heaven Stele’s owner! Be careful,” the skeleton said this sentence, then turned right around and left.
Ye Yuan’s expression was slightly dark, and he turned around and left too.
Seeing Ye Yuan come out safely, everyone heaved a big sigh in relief too.
“Brother Ye, it’s really great that you’re fine! No idea what happened underground, to actually make even the earth tremble. Furthermore, these zombies are actually flooding towards underground like tidewater,” Sheng Jun said rather worriedly.
Ye Yuan’s expression was grave as he said, “A fiendgod is suppressed underground here, whose strength is overwhelming! These zombies were probably created by people with the intent of assaulting the grand array. Now, this grand array suffered a tremendous impact. The fiendgod is going to break free very soon.”
“Fiendgod! In this world, could there really be the existence of the fiend race?”
“N-No way, right? To proclaim to be
a fiendgod, wouldn’t that be … a Deity Realm-like existence?”
“Are you kidding?! Once an existence like that breaks out, who in this Divine Realm can be his match? W-We’d better hurry up and leave!”
Ye Yuan’s words caused a huge panic among the seven Holy Lands’ martial artists.
Many martial artists already could not contain themselves, wanting to leave this boneyard.
Deity Realm, this was a realm that made all martial artists yearn for. It was also a realm that all martial artists feared.
Facing Deity Realm powerhouses, not everybody had this kind of courage.
To martial artists in an age of declining laws, Deity Realm was equivalent to invincibility.
“Everybody, this fiendgod was sealed for several tens of thousands of years by the grand array. His loss of strength is immense, and it’s precisely a fine opportunity for us to slay him! Once the fiendgod breaks free, when he recovers his strength, the Divine Realm will surely be plunged into an abyss of suffering. I ask for everyone to lend this Ye a helping hand and eliminate this fiend!” Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said to everyone.
Wei Cheng’s two legs were trembling. Suddenly, he snapped, “Ye Yuan, you had known that there is the fiendgod existing underground here long ago. Once it broke out, your Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will be the first to bear the brunt, so you want to drag us, the other six families, all into the water, isn’t that so!Hahaha, you even feigned a noble appearance, saying that it’s for the consideration of the seven Holy Lands! You, this fellow, are a hypocrite posing as a person of high morals!”
Hearing that the fiendgod was about to break free soon, Wei Cheng was frightened to the extreme in his heart.
Under this sort of circumstances, he habitually pushed all of the blame to Ye Yuan.
It was just that his words indeed aggravated the fear in everyone’s hearts even more. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan became somewhat unfriendly.
It was only due to Blackwind being present that they maintained a final restraint.
Under this kind of hopeless situation, it could reflect people’s hearts most of all.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “With your view of things, you can only see a tiny little White Valiant Region. Once the fiendgod breaks out, who in the entire Divine Realm can resist his footsteps?”
Everyone’s faces changed, all feeling a sense of pressure coming from head-on.
The fiendgod coming into being, the Divine Realm would surely be turbulent, and the one to be the first to bear the brunt was the White Valiant Region.
“Everybody, don’t listen to him quibble! You aren’t going to say now that you came underground for the sake of the human race’s righteousness, right? I don’t care, either way, I’m leaving! That is a fiendgod! Which one of you wants to seek death, just go yourself!”
Finished talking, he brought the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land’s remaining martial artists and left straight away.
Hua Shujie had a look of struggle and also came in front of Ye Yuan and said, “Brother Ye, the fiendgod cannot be fought! Presumably, an existence like him won’t take fancy on puny little Rank Nine Holy Lands like us too. Farewell!”
Finished talking, he turned around and said to the Fire Feather Holy Land martial artists, “Let’s go!”
Ye Yuan did not stop Hua Shujie’s departure, but said to Sheng Jun, “Brother Sheng, you?”
Sheng Jun had a look of dilemma too and countered with a question instead, “Brother Ye, even if the fiendgod’s strength is depleted to the limit by the grand array, he’s likely not what we can rival as well. I wonder how much confidence Brother Ye has?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Not much confidence!”
Sheng Jun was stunned, He originally thought that Ye Yuan being so resolute, he more or less had some confidence. But looking at it now, Ye Yuan was completely messing around!
“Brother Ye, isn’t it courting death like this? Is it worth it?” Sheng Jun asked.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “There’s no worth it or not worth it, only willing or unwilling. I, Ye Yuan, want to do it, so I’ll go do it. It’s that simple.”
Sheng Jun was stupefied again. If Ye Yuan talked about some great principle with him, he would definitely turn around and go.
But Ye Yuan’s words made his heart jolt.
Real men only seek a clear conscious when doing things, who cares about his reputation before and after his death!
“Fine! Brother Ye, I, Sheng Jun, will accompany you to go crazy today!”
Sheng Jun turned around again and said to the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land’s martial artists, “Though I’m the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land’s Young Lord, today’s matter, I won’t force you guys! Whoever is willing to stay behind, I, Sheng Jun, welcome cordially! Whoever is willing to go, I absolutely won’t bar the way either!”
Actually, Ye Yuan did not harbor any hope towards these people but did not expect that Sheng Jun actually really chose to remain behind.
Ye Yuan had this attitude towards the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land too. In the end, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land martial artists actually all chose to stay behind.
But the other three Holy Lands, only a few people stayed behind.
The number of people that remained behind in the end was merely 20 over people. Among them, over half was even the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s martial artists.
But this figure already far surpassed Ye Yuan’s expectations.
With Sheng Jun’s lead, a Phaseless Realm elder even stayed behind for the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land.
“Elder Sister Cai Yue, aren’t you going too? You had a hard time before managing to cure your Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique. If you encounter any mishap here, wouldn’t it be Ye Yuan’s fault?”
From start to end, Cai Yue stood behind Ye Yuan, did not say a word, and did not move before either.
Only when she heard Ye Yuan ask did Cai Yue smile and said, “This lowly one said before, in the future, this life is yours. Moreover, honestly speaking, the current Young Lord Ye is really mesmerizing this lowly one to death!”
Cai Yue’s eyes were full of admiration. Her gaze looking at Ye Yuan was like looking at her lover.
Ye Yuan said with a mocking smile, “Your life is your own, nothing to do with me. It’s really very dangerous this time. I don’t have any assurance at all. Elder Sister better leave.”
Cai Yue just smiled but did not have the intention of moving.
Ye Yuan was helpless and could only not urge anymore.
Rumble …
The tremors underground became even fiercer. In the underground passageway, wisps of fiendish black qi actually started spreading all over the place!
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he said, “Such powerful fiendish qi! Truly well-deserving of being a fiendgod! Being sealed for so many years by the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, he can actually still erupt with such powerful fiendish qi. Looks like the fiendgod is going to break free very soon. Let’s hurry up and go!”
The fiendgod had not broken free yet and already dispersed such powerful fiendish qi. This made everyone involuntarily become even more worried in their hearts.
Chapter 838. Setting up Formation |
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several dozen figures scurried out from the passageway Ye Yuan set up.
“Pooh! Pretending to be a human race hero for what? It’s fine if you go seek death yourself, you even want to drag us to be scapegoats. Are heroes so easy to be? Fishing for fame and praise!” Wei Cheng spat at the entrance.
He said these words very loudly and did not avoid everyone’s eyes and ears.
The moment the words came out, everyone shot over contemptuous looks.
“If not for Ye Yuan, you’d have already died several times over. You still have the capability to make sarcastic remarks here? Being shameless to your level is also considered a kind of realm!” Hua Shujie said with a cold smile.
Even though he did not have the courage to face the fiendgod, he still admired Ye Yuan’s choice greatly.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan had indeed saved everyone a number of times. This was an indisputable fact.
“Hua Shujie, don’t talk like you’re very lofty, didn’t you run too? What right do you have to comment on me? Also, you guys! Each and every one of you looking at me with this sort of expression for what? If you have the capabilities, go down yourselves!” Wei Cheng roared.
Under repeated blows, Wei Cheng’s psyche already utterly lost balance.
But his words were still very incisive. No matter what reason, running was running. These martial artists all turned their faces away, revealing looks of embarrassment.
People all had this kind of mentality, feeling that if the sky fell down, there would be tall guys propping it up.
The fiendgod coming into being should be those Divine King powerhouses coming out to face the enemy. What responsibility and duty did they have to face this kind of danger?
Those like Ye Yuan were undoubtedly moths flying into the fire that kind. They would even be ridiculed by people, such as Wei Cheng.
“Wow, very lively eh. Didn’t you guys go in? Why did you come out so quickly? You’re making it very hard for me like this!”
Suddenly, a spooky voice sounded out, making everyone jump in fright.
Two people clad entirely in black clothes suddenly appeared. They actually did not discover at all before this.
Hua Shujie said with a slightly somber expression, “Who are you people? Making a show of force here, don’t you know that the fiendgod is about to come into being at once?”
The two black-clothed people exchanged a glance and could not help laughing weirdly. One of them said with a big laugh, “Fiendgod coming into being? Of course we know! Because this fiendgod is freed by us!”
The moment these words came out, everyone’s faces changed drastically. No wonder Ye Yuan said that someone had ulterior motives. Turns out that he really hit the mark!
