But just earlier, Ye Yuan finally detected that the turning point for breakthrough arrived.
If it were others, they absolutely would not dare to break through at this time.
Once he was pinned down by the wolf pack, Ye Yuan would definitely be smitten to death by the heavenly tribulation. One had to know that there were over 20 peak Divine King Realm wolf kings in the wolf pack.
But Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his superb skills and did not care at all. He directly opened up his essence energy sea and allowed himself to break through freely.
Heavenly tribulation was nigh. The movements of Ye Yuan’s hands were not the least bit slow, killing two wolves in a blink.
Crack!
A coarse lightning bolt streaked down, rumbling over towards Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan gave a long cry and actually did not dodge nor evade!
These wolf kings’ intellects were exceedingly high and had long been waiting for this moment.
Just as the heavenly tribulation was about to land on Ye Yuan, five peak Divine King wolf kings arrived with a howl, baring their sharp teeth, and biting down towards Ye Yuan’s calf.
These few wolf kings’ teeth were no joke.
If bitten by them, Ye Yuan’s leg would be thoroughly crippled.
They eyed precisely this opportune moment to attack. Ye Yuan had to deal with the heavenly tribulation, it was totally impossible to deal with five wolf kings at the same time.
“Heh, arrogant fellow! This time, played yourself to death, right? I want to see how you avoid this certain-kill strike!” Guo Xu said with a cold smile.
Such an evenly matched battle and he actually still dared to be careless. He truly did not know how the word death was written.
But right at this time, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth.
“Waited very long for you all! Limitless Life-Death Sword!”
Ye Yuan gave a loud cry, his divine king domain instantly erupting. Five azure lights flowed out from inside the divine king domain bizarrely, heading straight for those five Divine Kings.
As for that heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to give it a glance at all.
Rumble!
Ye Yuan forcefully suffered this bolt of lightning tribulation, while those five wolf kings did not manage to bite him at all due to receiving Ye Yuan’s attack. Instead, they were implicated by the heavenly tribulation because they were too close to Ye Yuan.
This heavenly tribulation was virtually equivalent to the full power attack of a peak Divine King. The power could be imagined.
The five wolf kings were directly left in ruins by the heavenly tribulation!
While Ye Yuan stood up like he was completely fine. Patting the dust on his body, his figure suddenly vanished from where he was!
Seeing this scene, Guo Xu’s eyes became wide-saucers.
Could it be that this guy was a freak?
Forcefully withstanding such a horrifying bolt of heavenly tribulation, he was actually completely fine?
He did not know that for Ye Yuan, who transcended a Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, this kind of minor heavenly tribulation was completely no big deal anymore.
Ye Yuan just extended a golden right claw at the last second just now and forcefully withstood it.
Although this heavenly tribulation was equivalent to a peak divine king’s all-out attack, the effect was greatly discounted to Ye Yuan.
Towards heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could virtually be said to be immune.
The next instant, Ye Yuan was just like a walking heavenly tribulation. Areas that he passed through, miserable cries echoed. The wolf pack let out a series of wretched cries from time to time.
When the minor heavenly tribulation passed, only wolf corpses that covered the land remained.
While Ye Yuan broke through to Fourth Level Dao Profound successfully.
“H-How can this be? How could someone … transcend heavenly tribulation like this?” Guo Xu muttered to himself. He was struck dumb with amazement by this scene of Ye Yuan transcending tribulation.
Not just him, those Purple-Gold Hall disciples were similarly staring blankly with their mouths agape.
Those wolves wanted to ambush Ye Yuan but had a large group bombarded to death by Ye Yuan using heavenly tribulation.
This outcome … was too miraculous.
The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze. The originally almost guaranteed ambush made him somewhat worried at this time.
Could it really kill Ye Yuan?
Chapter 1097. Sudden Impulse |
“Ji Qingyun, just what kind of spirit medicines do you want to find? Carry on heading down, and everybody will fall into danger!” Guo Xu said solemnly.
Outside of the third level were all still some peak divine king desolate beasts. Heading further in and there would be some Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts.
With these disciples’ strengths, they were naturally unable to go deeper in.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, “Do you feel that ordinary spirit medicines can enter my arcane sights? Aren’t you all here for training? Didn’t make you follow me either. How about you bring your junior brothers and continue the training. I’ll go find my spirit medicines. If I get killed by desolate beasts, you should be happy instead.”
“You!” Guo Xu could not help being tongue-tied.
At this time, the Spirit Hound Divine King suddenly spoke up, “Guo Xu, you bring the junior brothers to train over here for a bit. I’ll follow Ji Qingyun to carry on advancing ahead.”
With this, Guo Xu became anxious, and hurriedly said, “How can this do?”
The Spirit Hound Divine King gave him a glance and said, “The spirit medicines that Ji Qingyun wants, barring no accidents, should be in the fourth level. Upon entering the fourth level, I won’t be able to care about you anymore! Furthermore, you also saw his strength. If we were to really come to blows, you can’t gain any advantages either.”
Guo Xu’s expression could not help turning stiff. Only now did he notice the fact that made people embarrassed.
The Spirit Hound Divine King’s meaning was already very clear: carry on following, and you would drag us down.
Even if Ye Yuan had any funny ideas, not only would Guo Xu not be of help following by the side, but might become Ye Yuan’s breakthrough point instead.
That … would be awkward.
“Then … Be careful, Spirit Hound Divine King!” Guo Xu said dejectedly.
The Spirit Hound Divine King patted his shoulders and said, “Relax. With me around, he can’t play any tricks.”
Guo Xu nodded his head. The Spirit Hound Divine King’s strength, he could naturally trust.
It was just that he never thought that he would actually become a burden one day.
…
Bidding the Purple-Gold Hall disciples farewell, Ye Yuan, one person, and one dog headed even deeper in.
Going further into the depths, Ye Yuan naturally could not be like before, using desolate beasts to practice.
Unless he used a divine artifact, otherwise, it was very hard to beat those Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts.
Hence, along the way, Ye Yuan and Zhao Lingdong, the two people were both very low-profile, avoiding those powerful auras as best as they could.
Being cautious along the way, a month’s time passed in a blink of an eye.
The distance of separating with Guo Xu and the rest was roughly a hundred million miles already.
In between this, there naturally could not dispense with encountering some powerful desolate beasts. It was basically all the Spirit Hound Divine King taking action to dispose of them.
But this, also let Ye Yuan witness the Spirit Hound Divine King’s might.
Ordinary Void Mystic desolate beasts were not a match for the Spirit Hound Divine King at all.
Along the way, as long as they encountered Void Mystic desolate beasts,
the Spirit Hound Divine King would cut down the other party with an overwhelming stance.
However, from start to end, that Howling Sky Divine Hound never made a move before.
Prior to reincarnating, Ye Yuan did not have contact with the Spirit Hound Divine King before. But regarding his might, he had still heard of it somewhat.
But only today did Ye Yuan know that Zhao Lingdong was even more powerful than in the rumors.
On this day, the two people finally arrived at the entrance area leading to the fourth level.
Ahead was a small-scale transmission array.
A small cluster of light pillars gave off a bright light.
As they were walking, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped his footsteps.
Zhao Lingdong asked doubtfully, “Why aren’t you walking anymore?”
Ye Yuan said with a calm expression, “Let’s walk around in the third level some more. I need a 500 thousand year Jadeblood Azuresky. This place is the third level’s deepest area, it might have it. If we can find it, we can also reduce the amount of time that we stay at the fourth level. This way, the danger will naturally also be lesser.”
The Spirit Hound Divine King was able to rampage unrestrained in the third level. But reaching the fourth level, he would also have to tuck his tail between his legs and behave.
The fourth level’s desolate beasts were too strong. With the Spirit Hound Divine King’s strength, the fourth level was also the limit.
Concerning the fifth level, he absolutely would not enter the area.
The Spirit Hound Divine King frowned and said, “500 thousand year Jadesky Azuresky, the chances of finding in the fourth level should be far greater than the third level. Don’t you forget, we only have half a year’s time. If we waste too much time at the third level, we won’t have time to find the spirit medicines at the back.”
Ye Yuan thought about it again and said with a nod, “What you said is correct, let’s go.”
The Spirit Hound Divine King’s heart eased up and nodded his head, and was about to advance forward.
But Ye Yuan had just taken a step and actually stopped again.
“En? What is it again?” The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at Ye Yuan and said doubtfully.
Ye Yuan turned his head to look at the Spirit Hound Divine King and suddenly said with a smile, “Your heart … it moved!”
The Spirit Hound Divine King’s heart thumped. Could it be that Ye Yuan saw through something?
Impossible!
From start to end, he examined himself and was certain that he did not reveal any flaws.
Zhao Lingdong frown and said, “What do you mean?”
The corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a faint smile, “My meaning is … you want to make me enter the fourth level very much?”
The premonition in Zhao Lingdong’s heart became increasingly foreboding. But he did not give up.
Another step forward and Ye Yuan would be caught in the trap of the Devil Ridge Three Freaks. As long as Ye Yuan was taken into the Mountain and River State Painting, there was absolutely no possibility of escaping with his life!
Even if the son of heaven’s mandate, being shielded from heaven’s secrets, only had one road that led to hell too!
Moreover, dealing with Ye Yuan would be five Void Mystic Realm experts.
But it was just missing one step!
His heart pounded, but Zhao Lingdong did not show even a hint on his face.
His person was incomparably level-headed to begin with. Even if dreadful waves that billowed to the skies were stirred up in his heart, he would not reveal the least bit either.
If he did not have this shrewdness, how could he dare to stay undercover under the leadership of the Holy City’s three titans for so many years?
It was also precisely because of this confidence that Zhao Lingdong knew that he definitely did not reveal a flaw along the way.
But how did Ye Yuan see through him?
Could it be because of that trace of spatial undulation?
That trace of spatial undulation, even he did not detect it. It could be said to be trivial to the extreme.
Moreover, even if Ye Yuan had his suspicions, why would it be right at this time?
Zhao Lingdong could not figure out after racking his brains!
“What are you implying? You were the one who wanted to find spirit medicines, not me! If you’re not willing to enter the fourth level, then just don’t go in.,” Zhao Lingdong said solemnly.
Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Lingdong and said coolly, “Still refusing to give up hope? Since I said such words, I naturally have some assurance.”
With this, Zhao Lingdong utterly gave up.
He knew that Ye Yuan really saw through something amiss.
But, there were no flaws in front of him at all. If not for knowing in-advance, Zhao Lingdong absolutely would not know that this place was a trap.
Then, how in the world did Ye Yuan perceive it?
Zhao Lingdong’s brows furrowed. Faint killing intent locked onto Ye Yuan, and he said in a deep voice, “I examined myself and am sure that I didn’t reveal any flaws at all. How did you see through?”
Ye Yuan did not answer his question. Taking a look at the transmission array in the distance, he said with a smile, “Like naturally formed, without any flaws in the slightest! If my surmises are right, this should be the legendary Mountain and River State Painting, right?”
Zhao Lingdong’s gaze turned sharp. He did not think that Ye Yuan could actually even make this out!
This brat was simply too freakish!
Ye Yuan turned to Zhao Lingdong again and said with a smile, “You indeed didn’t have flaws. But you should know what’s ‘Sudden Impulse,’ right?”
Chapter 1098. Absolute Kill |
Hearing ‘Sudden Impulse’ these two words, Zhao Lingdong’s expression changed greatly.
“You … You actually comprehended Sudden Impulse!”
“When fighting with those eight giant apes, I already comprehended it,” Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
The breakthrough of heart realm could let martial artists give birth to some very mysterious skills.
Such as merging into heaven and earth, such as … Sudden Impulse.
Sudden Impulse was actually a kind of sense to chase after good fortune and avoid disaster.
This sort of sense, many powerful martial artists all had it. But that sense was just the very, very shallow kind.
Furthermore, it was effective and ineffective at times, unable to use it as a reference at all.
But Sudden Impulse could be said to be the superior type of this kind of sense. Before encountering danger, one would be able to sense it in advance, and pursue good fortune and avoid disaster from there.
Facing off against the eight giant apes the last time, Ye Yuan’s heart realm already quietly broke through once more. This Sudden Impulse technique was also born in response to the proper time and conditions.
“However, you indeed concealed very well. Only all the way until a moment ago, did a feeling well up in my heart. It seems like taking another step forward, there will be absolutely no chance of survival,” Ye Yuan said unhurriedly.
Sudden Impulse was not invincible. It was just a fleeting and ephemeral kind of sense. Except, this kind of sensation was more accurate and stronger compared to ordinary martial artists, that was all.
Zhao Lingdong’s scheming was extremely deep and did not reveal the slightest hint of a flaw at all, and also did not have even a trace of killing intent towards Ye Yuan before.
Hence, Ye Yuan did not sense the danger previously.
“Then why did you come to suspect me?” Zhao Lingdong said rather gloomily.
“I said before, your heart moved. Although it was just that tiny bit, under this sort of crisis, it’s exceptionally strong,” Ye Yuan said.
Zhao Lingdong was thoroughly defeated.
He concealed extremely well along the way. Only just now, when
Ye Yuan was about to step into the enchantment set up by the Mountain and River State Painting, his breathing hastened, leaving a tiny trace.
But it was this tiny trace that betrayed him.
The formidable aspect of Sudden Impulse lay in here.
Of course, Sudden Impulse was not matchless.
Just like this time, although he comprehended Sudden Impulse, it was still incomparably dangerous.
Because the Devil Ridge Three Freaks showed themselves!
A layer of ripple oscillated in the space. Three black silhouettes emerged.
“Truly formidable. Didn’t think that the Mountain and River State Painting, this kind of divine artifact, actually had no way of drawing you in! But … you’re still hard pressed to escape death today!” said the Devil Ridge Three Freaks’s boss, Mo Datong.
Seeing the Devil Ridge Three Freaks, Ye Yuan’s heart sunk.
These three people were all Void Mystic Realm experts.
This was to say that there were actually five Void Mystic powerhouses who came to besiege him.
Furthermore, the things held in the Devil Ridge Three Freaks’ hands, were clearly all divine artifacts!
Five great Void Mystic powerhouse, three great divine artifacts, such a line-up could simply be rated as extravagant!
And such a line-up was actually just in order to deal with a measly little Fourth Level Dao Profound!
“You’re all members of the fiend race?” Ye Yuan said with a frown.
Such extravagance, probably only that power-hungry fiend race, always causing trouble from the shadows, could take out these divine artifacts.
It was just that Ye Yuan was very curious about what kind of method the fiend race used to make these people look virtually identical with humans. Even the slightest hint of fiendish energy was not revealed.
It looked like the fiend race really racked their brains empty for the sake of today’s set-up.
Mo Datong said, “That’s right! Lord Divine Master ordered the three of us to come over and take your life! Once the son of heaven’s mandate dies, the human race will be of no more threat!”
Hearing ‘son of heaven’s mandate,’ Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. But he felt relieved very quickly.
