“Strength is decent! But since your esteemed self invited me here, could it be that you don’t dare to reveal your true appearance to people?” Ye Yuan already composed himself and did not have the slightest awareness of falling into a trap.
This person in front of him was dressed in black robes. He was even wearing a black fanged-mask on his face, looking very ferocious.
The masked man did not speak. Raising his hand, it was another palm!
Ye Yuan’s punch rumbled out, directly annihilating the masked man’s palm force.
“Mighty Heaven God Annihilating Palm!”
The masked man’s low voice transmitted over. A horrifying palm force assaulted towards Ye Yuan.
Violent killing intent filled the entire hall. This palm was clearly unleashed with the Slaughter Supreme True Intent.
In terms of the Slaughter Supreme True Intent’s level, it was evidently above Leng Qing’s!
Ye Yuan reckoned that even if this masked man’s Slaughter Concept did not reach seven stars, it was not far away either.
Although soul generals were divided into nine stars, these stars would be harder and harder to condense towards the back.
Six stars to seven stars, there was a major threshold too. A martial artist had to fight goodness knows how many matches before they could amass enough Slaughter Concept.
This masked man in front of him should be that so-called Demon King.
Facing such a palm, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless either. He immediately revolved the Void Dragon Shadow Punch to the limits!
Boom!
Two attacks with tremendous power collided together. A massive energy wave directly ravaged the hall. The roof immediately crumbled down.
The entire hall instantly turned into a wasteland.
But right at this time, the skies suddenly dimmed. The skies studded with stars.
A terrifying energy undulation instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside!
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan did not reveal a solemn expression but smiled instead.
He finally knew who this Demon King was!
“I didn’t expect that you, this fellow, actually ran to the Chaotic Devil Sea! But your improvement really makes me feel astonished! Since you want to test my limits, I’ll let you witness my true strength!”
The smile on Ye Yuan’s face gradually faded away. The Starmoon Sword quietly landed in his hand.
Ye Yuan slightly raised the Starmoon Sword, then just casually slashed in the air. A massive rift was actually slashed out in the sky!
After that, those motes of stars were completely annihilated under this slash!
This powerful Lumen Star Brilliance move was broken by Ye Yuan with a wave of his hand.
“Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword … Will Soaring to the Skies!” Ye Yuan lightly spat out these few words.
Behind that black mask, those pupils constricted, clearly shocked by the scene before his eyes.
Only when the skies recovered its clearness did the masked man come back to his senses from the midst of shock. He heaved a long sigh and said, “I thought that I was already powerful enough. Didn’t think that the gap with you became bigger and bigger!”
The masked man slowly removed the fanged-mask, revealing a delicate and good-looking face. Who could it be but Nalan Chu?
Back then, Nalan Chu left the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, saying he wanted to go out and train. But Ye Yuan never expected that he actually ran to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land and even entered inside the Asura Arena.
In Ye Yuan’s impression, Nalan Chu was a free and unconventional modest gentleman. But this Demon King before his eyes subverted Ye Yuan’s understanding of him.
It seemed like during this period, his transformation was really not small.
Chapter 886. 12 Exalts |
Looking at this debris all over the floor, Sun Qi could not help opening his mouth wide.
He originally thought that Lord Demon King calling Ye Yuan over was just because he admired Ye Yuan and wished to take him under his wing.
He did not expect that this Ye Yuan’s strength was actually this powerful!
Lord Demon King was actually defeated at Ye Yuan’s hands!
Nalan Chu’s title of Demon King did not appear out of thin air but was fought out match by match.
To be able to slaughter into the third level’s top five, it could be seen how powerful Lord Demon King’s strength was.
But such a Lord Demon King actually still lost to Ye Yuan!
Just what background did this Third Level Heaven Enlightenment brat have?
“Compared to before, you’re indeed much more powerful! It was absolutely impossible for the past you to force me to use Will Soaring to the Skies!” Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
“Will Soaring to the Skies! A fine Will Soaring to the Skies! Your sword intent is indeed already riding above the ninth layer of heaven! A sword like this is simply as the saying if gods block, kill gods, if Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!” Nalan Chu said with vicissitudes of emotion.
Nalan Chu had a deep understanding of Ye Yuan’s prowess after exchanging blows with Ye Yuan.
The last time, Ye Yuan using his most powerful Rending the Sky already shocked him.
Training and tempering these few years in the Asura Arena, Nalan Chu had always chased after Ye Yuan as his goal. His improvement was tremendous.
At one point, Nalan Chu also felt that he was already very close to Ye Yuan. But upon seeing today, Ye Yuan’s strength was still far above his!
This stance, Will Soaring to the Skies, truly rode above the ninth layer of heaven. He could not think of any strategies to resolve it at all.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Wait until the day my sword intent reaches major accomplishment, maybe it can really kill gods if gods block, kill Buddha if Buddha blocks. But right now, it’s still somewhat lacking.”
Nalan Chu also smiled and said, “That’s just a matter of time. Alright, this place isn’t a place to talk. Sun Qi, we’ll go to your residence.”
Sun Qi bowed and said, “Yes, Your Excellency!”
When Ye Yuan walked past him once again, the feeling in Sun Qi’s heart was completely different.
This young man’s strength was too terrifying!
Only after having some small talk with Nalan Chu did Ye Yuan know that Nalan Chu’s these two years of training and tempering was also rather not easy.
Nalan Chu had a warm-hearted and compassionate personality too. En route his training and tempering, he encountered an unjust matter.
A Rank Seven Holy Land’s junior disciple was in the process of violating a woman. Nalan Chu killed that person in his rage, then incurred endless pursuit. Along the way, he was forced into hopeless situations several times and narrowly lost his life, but he still pulled through in the end.
Rank Seven Holy Lands were not what the Crimson Afterglow, that sort of Rank Nine Holy Lands, could afford to provoke. Nalan Chu did not dare to expose his identity. Being forced against his will, Nalan Chu fled to the Chaotic Devil Sea.
As luck would have it, he obtained an Absolute Kill Token. Hence, he entered the Asura Arena.
Nalan Chu did not think that after he experienced life and death several times, his entire person underwent a complete transformation, integrating into the fighting ways of the Asura Arena very quickly.
In this place, he advanced with leaps and bounds. Not only he almost became a seven-star soul general already, but his Light Supreme True Intent also broke through to the third-stage!
“On that day, I heard that the second level had an upstart who is called Ye Yuan too. Moreover, his strength was overwhelming in the second level. I thought about whether or not there was such a coincidental thing. Later, I obtained the recording of you and Leng Qing fighting, before discovering that it’s actually really you!”
Running into an old friend in a foreign land, Nalan Chu was clearly very excited too.
These two years plus time, regardless of whether
was it strength or temperament, Nalan Chu underwent a tremendous change.
Demon King this title was not given randomly. This was simply unimaginable for the former Nalan Chu.
Ye Yuan also talked about the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s recent developments with Nalan Chu. Nalan Chu sighed endlessly when he heard it too.
But he was also very happy when he was informed that Tu You broke through and that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was promoted to a Rank Eight Holy Land.
“Ye Yuan, since you’ve already advanced to the third level, isn’t it time to choose a camp?” after the small talk, Nalan Chu said.
“Choose a camp?” Ye Yuan had a perplexed look.
Nalan Chu nodded his head and explained, “This Asura Arena is actually controlled by the 12 Great Exalts. Martial artists from the first level to the sixth level, regardless of whether Heaven Enlightenment Realm or Phaseless Realm, they actually all belonged to one of the 12 Great Exalts.”
Hearing Nalan Chu say so, Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization: “No wonder Leng Qing really got his wish when he wanted to fight with me!”
“Above Leng Qing is Exalt Heavenly Hedonist of the 12 Great Exalts. The exalt I belong to is Exalt Zhuo Yan. If my conjectures are right, Exalt Si Yin has probably got an eye on you already. Seems like she wants to pull you under her command,” Nalan Chu said.
Ye Yuan was stunned. Si Yin’s face emerged before his eyes.
“You’re saying that female attendant in the Asura Shop is one of the 12 Exalts?”
Ye Yuan had a blank look. Hearing Exalt Si Yin this name, he finally came back to his senses.
Si Yin calculated a myriad of things, but she did not calculate that Ye Yuan actually had a personal friendship with this Lord Demon King.
Nalan Chu smiled and said, “The 12 Exalts’ statuses in the Asura Arena are all different. The area Exalt Si Yin is in charged of is precisely the Asura Shop!”
Ye Yuan had a speechless look. That young lady was also a bit too capable at acting, right? Although Ye Yuan had suspicions long ago, he also did not think that this young lady was actually one of the 12 Exalts.
“Like this huh? What if I don’t join their camps?” Ye Yuan pondered about it and said.
“Not joining their camps, unless you have heaven-defying strength, otherwise, you can only be erased by them! Of course, they can’t violate the Asura Arena’s rules either. But they can utterly wipe you out within the permitted boundaries of the rules!” Nalan Chu said.
Regarding the rules, Nalan Chu said, Ye Yuan understood it. No matter which level Ye Yuan was at, they could arrange stronger opponents to deal with him, it was roughly like this.
“Heh heh, want to wipe me out, huh? Let them go ahead! Just hope that they don’t break off their front tooth!”
Ye Yuan did not wish to be anyone’s underling. He was him, a former peak Alchemy Emperor, a present genius youth!
Trifling 12 Exalts, what right to come and control him, Ye Yuan?
Seeing Ye Yuan’s attitude, Nalan Chu could not help saying with a bitter smile, “I knew it! No matter what, we jointly came out of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Furthermore, you’re the right and proper young lord! Whether professionally or privately, even if I die, I have to ensure your safety too!”
Ye Yuan was rather surprised when he heard that, but said with a smile, “You can’t even beat me, what do you have to protect my safety? Forget it, these things don’t need you to come and worry. At least at this third level, there isn’t anyone capable of harming me yet!”
Nalan Chu shook his head but did not know what he should say.
Actually, before finding Ye Yuan, he already mentally prepared himself. Other people, he dare not say, but Ye Yuan, he knew a little.
Want to make Ye Yuan bow and scrape as someone’s lackey, that was absolutely impossible.
“Huhu, Brother Ye, don’t talk about other things first. The 18 days top-tier cultivation chamber I promised you is already prepared. I know that Brother Ye should have just chosen a Slaughter Concept’s relevant martial technique. What you need most at this time should be closed-seclusion,” Nalan Chu said.
Chapter 887. Name List |
“Killing Song of the Sword!”
Inside the cultivation chamber, killing qi overflowed.
A mass of black-colored sword qi was roaming around inside the cultivation chamber. The space of the places it passed by would have minute undulation appear, making the surrounding walls have intense undulation sounds appear.
“This Slaughter Sword Art is indeed well-deserving of its fame, to actually be able to unleash killing intent through such a method! One month passed and I actually only comprehended a smattering of the first level!”
Just 18 days were too short. After time was up, Ye Yuan extended another 12 day’s time. Only then did he barely managed to comprehend a modicum of the Killing Song of the Sword.
To Ye Yuan, using a month’s time to go cultivate a martial technique under the prerequisite of possessing the Slaughter Supreme True Intent and actually just comprehend a trace of the rudiments, this was a very seldom-seen matter.
This Slaughter Sword Art was very profound. The difficulty of comprehending was absolutely not beneath the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art’s auxiliary martial techniques.
It appeared that what Si Yin said was not false.
If this martial technique was cultivated to the limits, one might really possess strength comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings!
It was just that if Si Yin found out about Ye Yuan’s cultivation speed, she would definitely be immensely shocked.
This martial technique, other people all cultivated with 10 years as units. Ye Yuan actually only used a month’s time to comprehend the preliminary rudiments. This comprehension ability was too terrifying.
The Ten Great Divine Kings were all staggering geniuses. But for them to reach this level, it requires over 500 years of time at the fastest too.
How could wanting to reach this sort of boundary be something overnight?
But Ye Yuan was still very unsatisfied with his cultivation speed.
“Time is pressing! This kind of cultivation speed is truly a little too slow. Looks like I got to think of ways to get some chaos gems.” Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and walked out of the cultivation chamber.
Exiting the cultivation chamber, Ye Yuan discovered that Sun Qi was actually waiting outside already. It was just that his gaze was somewhat evasive. Clearly, he had something he found difficult to express.
What kind of visual prowess did Ye Yuan have? He saw through that Sun Qi suffered considerable internal injuries at a single glance.
“What happened? You got injured during a fight? Where’s Demon King?” Ye Yuan frowned and said.
Nalan Chu did not use his original name here. Ye Yuan naturally would not reveal his unsavory background. It was just that Ye Yuan was quite surprised. If he had something to find him, there was no need to send an injured Sun Qi over, right?
“Lord Demon King he … he …”
Sun Qi words were vague, making Ye Yuan give rise to a hint of a foreboding premonition.
“Speak!”
Sun Qi suddenly said with a look of righteous indignation, “Lord Demon King he … he was beaten to severe injuries by someone and is in danger of losing his life at any time!”
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he snapped, “When did it happen? Why did you come and inform me earlier?”
“I … I wanted to come and inform Lord Ye Yuan previously as well, but Lord Demon King he did not allow! He said that Lord Ye Yuan’s matters are greater than the heavens. Unless it was absolutely necessary, we’re not to disturb your closed-seclusion!” Sun Qi said with a bitter look.
“Bullsh*t! His little life is almost gone, what matter is even bigger than this?” Hearing this news, Ye Yuan could not help being somewhat moved in his heart, becoming abnormally irritated.
Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Nalan Chu’s though
ts. It was just that he did not expect that Nalan Chu was actually so foolishly loyal. He was going to be beaten to death in no time, and he actually did not allow his subordinates to come and inform him to exit seclusion in advance.
In Nalan Chu’s heart, Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s Holy Lord. He was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s future.
Concerning martial artists cultivating, one of the greatest taboos was having a closed-door seclusion interrupted. Closed-seclusion suddenly being interrupted, if it was minor, it would make the things they comprehended be irrevocably lost. If severe, one would run amok, burying hidden dangers for breakthroughs in the future.
Nalan Chu did not wish to affect Ye Yuan became of him, that was why he did not let Sun Qi come and disturb Ye Yuan.
Seeing Ye Yuan fly off the handle, Sun Qi mumbled yes repeatedly by the side, and he did not dare to say anything.
Ye Yuan casually threw Sun Qi a medicinal pill and said, “Consume it. Take me to find Demon King!”
Sun Qi’s expression involuntarily changed when he got the medicinal pill.
Transcendent-grade Ling Hua Jade Dew Pill!
This was an extremely hard to come by Tier 7 healing medicinal pill; something that could not be bought on the market at all. Ye Yuan’s casual opening move was simply extravagant to the extreme.
Sun Qi consumed the medicinal pill and did not have time to refine the medicinal strength either, before bringing Ye Yuan to go find Nalan Chu.
Seeing lying on the bed was the unconscious Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan’s fury leaped up.
Nalan Chu’s heart meridians were virtually shattered; already at his last gasp, possible to die at any time. Ye Yuan even detected that within Nalan Chu’s body had a peculiar force that would cause immense damage to Nalan Chu’s internal organs.
Very clearly, the other party deliberately held back a trick or two just to torture Nalan Chu.
Competing in martial arts showdowns, death was a common occurrence. It was just that this kind of method was truly a bit too vicious.
The fury in Ye Yuan’s heart slowly rose!
