Maybe he still had a chance to make up for this regret?
Ye Yuan was not sure, but as long as there was a trace of possibility, he would not give up!”
… …
Bidding farewell to Ye Hang husband and wife, and his other, Ao Jun, Ye Yuan returned to the Heavenspan World once more.
Presently, the Southern Border’s general situation had already settled down. With Bai Tong holding down the fort, he could also leave with his mind at ease.
After the great battle with Nineorigin the last time, not only was Ye Yuan’s chaos world utterly destroyed, his fleshy body debilitated, his divine soul even almost turned to ashes.
If not for Dustless deploying the Soul Suppressing Pearl to protect Ye Yuan at the final juncture, he would not have lost his memories so easily.
After all, Nineorigin was not an enemy that Ye Yuan had encountered in the past.
He was too strong!
His strength was sufficient to rival a human race’s Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!
What kind of concept was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor?
Someone like Jiu Shang, he could kill him with a puff of air!
For Ye Yuan to be able to survive under his hands, it was already a miracle.
But the price was Dustless falling into slumber.
Without Dustless’s support, Mu Lingxue’s spiritual sense became weaker and weaker.
Hence, after suppressing the Southern Border’s upheaval, Ye Yuan had to leave!
He had to go to Shinra Ghost Region, to search for a natural treasure called Silvernet Blood Essence.
Silvernet Blood Essence was immensely helpful for recovering soul bodies and could help Dustless recover.
However, just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, Ning Tianping also came to bid farewell to him.
At present, Ning Tianping already broke through to the Empyrean Realm with the help of Ye Yuan’s medicinal pills.
His strength was already suddenly to go and take revenge for his master, Mo Lifei.
Mo Lifei had once said before, his opponent’s strength was merely at the peak True God Realm.
Even if he broke through after so many years, with Ning Tianping’s strength, it was naturally a cinch to deal with him. Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to stop him.
Ye Yuan gave Ning Tianping some medicinal pills and Empyrean spirit treasures to protect himself. This master and servant two people left, going on their own path.
Chapter 2228. Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean Over! |
Shinra Ghost Region was a land with extremely strong yin energy. Human martial artists did not dare to approach at all.
Legends had it that this place was once an ancient battlefield, with countless powerhouses who had died.
Countless remnant souls and skeletons experienced year after year of changes and became Ghost Dao powerhouses.
And this ancient battlefield also gradually evolved into the Shinra Ghost Region.
This place, Ghost Dao powerhouses gathered, there was no lack of Empyrean level powerhouses.
With Ye Yuan walking into Fengdu Ghost City, he immediately attracted the attention of many Ghost Dao powerhouses[1].
“Eh, it’s actually a human! Haven’t tasted the flavor of humans for so long! I didn’t expect that there’s actually someone who isn’t afraid of death delivering himself to our doorstep.”
“Jeje, what a delicious smell! His blood must taste very good!”
“All don’t snatch him from me! This human is mine!”
… …
When several rank six Ghost Dao powerhouses saw Ye Yuan, each and every one of them salivated heavily like they had seen a delicacy.
Humans were delicious food in their eyes.
Rumble!
The moment Ye Yuan’s aura released, the pressure of Chaos Realm suddenly bloomed, directly crushing those few Ghost Dao powerhouses to dust.
The complexions of the other Ghost Dao powerhouses turned deathly pale, looking at Ye Yuan with horrified faces, turning around and wanting to flee.
“You, come over!” Ye Yuan suddenly pointed at a rank six heavenly corpse with a deathly pale complexion and said.
That heavenly corpse was no different from humans. It was just that his complexion was dreadfully pale.
At this time, because he was frightened, his face was even more without any rosiness.
“S-Senior, what instructions do you have?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “I’m looking for Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean. Do you know where he’s at?”
Fengdu Ghost City was an emperor-level ghost city, with the occupied territory being massive. There were three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors inside.
The forces established by the three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were respectively called Yin Huai Manor, Vast Huai Manor, Li Huai Manor.
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean had once told him that he was under Heavenly Emperor Cangsu’s Vast Huai Manor.
The heavenly corpse said, “Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean? He … He should be imprisoned in Yin Huai Manor currently!”
“Imprisoned?” Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
The heavenly corpse nodded and said, “A few days ago, Yin Huai Manor suddenly attacked Vast Huai Manor. It caused a huge commotion in Fengdu Ghost City. Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean fumbled and was captured. Vast Huai Manor lost more than a dozen hidden streets.”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned intent and he said, “Lead the way.”
The heavenly corpse was taken aback and said, “Where to?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Yin Huai Manor!”
The heavenly corpse said in surprise, “Senior, Yin Huai Manor has experts as plentiful as clouds, just the Empyreans are as many as more than a dozen! You’re all alone …”
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly, with his tone turning slightly cold as he said, “Lead the way!”
The heavenly corpse was startled and said, “Yes!”
The heavenly corpse trembled with fear, bringing Ye Yuan around. They then arrived in front of a feudal government office that occupied a huge area.
On the feudal office was written three large characters, ‘Yin Huai Manor’!
Ye Yuan knew that Shinra Ghost Region’s Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not easily move out as well.
As long as Heavenly Emperors did not take action, with his current middle-stage Chaos Realm strength, there were already not many in the Empyrean Realm who could do anything to him.
Moreover, Fengdu Ghost City’s three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were only First Firmament Heavenly Emperors.
Even if they wanted to take action, Ye Yuan had the power to protect himself too.
“Eh? Human!”
When Yin Huai Manor’s guards saw Ye Yuan, their two eyes lit up.
Ye Yuan stepped forward and said coolly, “I’m here to bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean away!”
The guards exchanged glances and suddenly let out loud hoots of laughter.
“Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean away? Who do you think you are?!”
“What a delicious boy! His blood must be very sweet.”
“Boy, since you came, forget about leaving. Stay behind and let us brothers have a taste!”
Done talking, the few guards rushed forward and were about to tear Ye Yuan to pieces.
Ye Yuan gave a cold snort. Stomping his feet, a horrifying air billow spread out with him as the center.
Bang, bang, bang …
The few guards directly exploded, turning into clouds of flying ashes.
The remaining force of the air billow did not diminish, directly shocking until the earth ruptured, transmitting into Yin Huai Manor.
After killing a few guards, Ye Yuan lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the feudal office.
That heavenly corpse’s eyes went wide. He even thought that Ye Yuan came to beg for leniency. But this guy was actually going to directly kill inside?
Nuts, right?
Yin Huai Manor was a Heav
enly Emperor powerhouse’s faction!
Even if you were an Empyrean, you also would not dare to rush like this, right?
Fine lad, this human brat is too domineering!
Ye Yuan caused a huge commotion, alarming Empyrean powerhouses very soon.
A Ghost Dao Empyrean stopped Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, “Human punk, to dare act wildly in the Yin Huai Manor, are you courting death?!”
Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, “Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean over and I’ll leave at once.”
The Ghost Dao Empyrean sneered coldly and said, “Who do you think you are, you ask this Empyrean to bring him over and this Empyrean will bring him over? Then what face will the Yin Huai Manor still have to keep a foothold in the city?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Are you mistaken? I’m not discussing it with you. I’m just informing you! If he’s not coming out, then I’ll search for him by myself!”
The Ghost Dao Empyrean could not see through Ye Yuan’s actual situation. But he saw that Ye Yuan was young. Even if he was at the Empyrean Realm, he also would not be too strong.
Hence, he gave a cold snort and whirled toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan’s hand seals were like phantoms, and he said in a cold voice, “Seal!”
He instantly formed a formation!
The Ghost Dao Empyrean was directly sealed in the array formation by Ye Yuan, unable to even move.
Presently, Ye Yuan’s strength improved further. The power of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array grew more than a magnitude stronger.
Dealing with a Second Firmament Empyrean Ghost Dao Empyrean, he did not need the slightest effort at all.
That Ghost Dao Empyrean had a look of terror. He totally did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move, and he was already completely sealed.
No matter how he urged his strength, he was unable to break free!
How could this human boy be so strong?
Very soon, there were several more Empyreans that came out again, and they were all sealed by Ye Yuan in one move!
The rank six powerhouses in Yin Huai Manor, each and every one of their eyes were almost popping out.
“Just who the hell is this human brat? He hasn’t made a serious move yet and half of Yin Huai Manor is already defeated!”
“This boy is an extremely formidable rank seven Formation God, too terrifying! If not for showing mercy, the few lord Empyreans would probably already be all dead!”
“This boy is here for Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean! He’s actually forcefully barging into Yin Huai Manor! Really crazy! Lord Chi Jue has already rushed over, so he’s dead for sure!”
… …
While talking, an Empyrean powerhouse with a deadpan face appeared in front of Ye Yuan.
“Boy, it ends here! Take a step further and you’ll die without a burial ground!” Chi Jue said in a cold voice.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, “I said before, bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean over, and I’ll leave at once.”
Empyrean Chi Jue’s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, “Since you’re seeking death, then this Empyrean will send you off! Hah!”
It was only to see him roar wildly, a punch charging toward Ye Yuan.
This Empyrean Chi Jue was a corpse path Empyrean. His fleshly body was immensely powerful and was already late-stage rank seven.
A corpse path Empyrean primarily cultivated the fleshly body. A body full of tough muscles forcefully contending with Empyrean spirit treasures was nothing difficult.
It was just a shame that he ran into Ye Yuan.
Bang, bang, bang …
In a blink, the two people clashed over several dozen moves.
Empyrean Chi Jue retreated wildly. His two meaty palms felt like they were already not his anymore.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a strange look, “You’re competing on physical body with me?”
Empyrean Chi Jue looked at Ye Yuan with a terrified look as he said in shock, “Perfect seventh transformation golden body!”
[1] Fun fact, 酆都城(Fengdu City) is a term for the netherworld/hell. The author just added a ghost here to modify it slightly.
Chapter 2229. Fine, Give You Face! |
After Jiu Shang died, Ye Yuan’s heart realm reached perfection, his thoughts flowing smooth, his strength reaching greater heights.
Presently, he was already comparable to Fifth Firmament Empyreans.
With the strength of Ye Yuan’s fleshy body, forcefully contending with a Seventh Firmament Empyrean was no problem at all.
And he did not even utilize any martial technique at all.
“Chi Jue, what are you dragging your feet for? Just a human brat, and yet you still haven’t taken care of it until now?”
“Haha, I said that you all, these corpses, only have a body full of boorish muscles and don’t have any use at all!”
“It’s also not useless, at least it can be used as a meat shield!”
At this time, another three figures arrived, encircling Ye Yuan in the middle.
These three people were shockingly all late-stage Empyrean mighty experts!
Empyrean Chi Jue snorted coldly and said, “The three of you, stop gloating over others’ misfortune here! This punk has a perfect seventh transformation golden body. His fleshly body strength is not beneath mine! Furthermore, he’s even a Seven-star Formation God. His strength isn’t to be underestimated!”
The other three people revealed shocked faces, looking toward Ye Yuan with amazement.
These three great ghost empyreans were respectively Ghost Seven, Si Chen, and Demoncloud.
They were the same as Empyrean Chi Jue. They were the four late-stage Empyrean generals under Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge’s command.
An Empyrean Demoncloud said with a cold laugh, “Perfect seventh transformation! Heh heh, looks like Old Chi, you ran into a tough nut this time! However, perfect seventh transformation is completely useless in front of my Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!”
Ye Yuan looked at the four great Empyreans and said coolly, “Looks like I have to beat you all down before you guys know pain!”
If it were before, Ye Yuan would still need to be very careful, using a scheme to rescue Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean out.
But presently, his strength already did not need to act in a secretive manner. He could just directly kill to the doorstep, neat and tidy.
Shinra Ghost Region was this kind of lawless place, where the weak were prey and the strong feasted.
Therefore, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk rules with them at all, directly beating them into submission.
Of course, on the account of Heavenly Emperor’s face, he would not deal a killing blow.
Otherwise, he would be fine, but Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean would be dead for sure.
“Huhu, truly a shameless boasting brat! This Empyrean will place an order for your blood in advance! Brothers, attack together!”
Empyrean Si Chen laughed coldly, the seals in his hands already started kneading.
“Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Myriad Ghosts Devouring Hearts!”
All of a sudden, shrill screams of countless fierce ghosts suddenly sounded out, making people feel like their hearts were tearing apart as they listened to it.
The ferocious ghosts wailed shrilly as they chomped down on Ye Yuan.
“Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Vast Sea Ghost Hands!”
Empyrean Demoncloud gave a fierce cry, an enormous ghost palm descended from the sky, directly slamming toward Ye Yuan.
“Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Innumerable Ghost Shadows!”
Empyrean Ghost Seven cried strangely. Countless dark shadows extended out from underground, intertwining over toward Ye Yuan.
Three ghost talismans were executed. They were all Empyrean level ultimate moves, with their power being incomparably formidable.
One attacked the heart, one was a frontal clash, and one was a restraint. Coupled with Chi Jue this meat sh
ield, the attacks of the four great Empyreans simply left no room for criticism!
“Hahaha, brat, die!” Empyrean Si Chen cried out strangely.
Facing the ghost shadows that blotted out the skies and covered the earth, Ye Yuan just lightly spat out a word!
“Immobilize!”
The air instantly solidified!
The amusement in the four great Empyreans’ eyes disappeared and what replaced it was terror.
They could not move anymore!
The shackle of Heavenly Dao froze everything.
Whatever move, whatever ghost shadows, were all frozen.
“True Sword Hollow Etch!”
Ye Yuan swung his bone sword, four streaks of sword light instantly fired out.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Four figures flew out backward in four directions!
Three Ghost Dao Empyreans were directly cleaved into two. But very soon, their bodies merged together. It was just much fainter.
As for Chi Jue, a large wound was opened up on his chest, a ghastly sight.
Defeating four Empyreans with one move!
The four great Empyreans looked at Ye Yuan with terrified faces, their gazes full of shock.
“Heavenly Dao True Word, controlling space! This … This …” Si Chen said with a look of horror.
Ye Yuan stood with his sword behind his back as he said coolly, “It’s just a warning this time. Keep forcing me and next time, you won’t be able to recover!”
This sword move, Ye Yuan already held back.
Otherwise, how could there be a possibility of them recovering?
One had to know, back then inside the Blackflame Cave, Ye Yuan annihilated hundreds of Empyreans by himself!
Now that he broke through to middle-stage Chaos Realm, would he think anything of a few guys who had not even reached Eighth Firmament?
The expressions of the four great Empyreans were very ugly. Only now did they discover what kind of a monster they faced!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and said coolly, “Looking for so long, isn’t it time to show yourself? Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge!”
A figure slowly walked out of the void, looking at Ye Yuan, amazement in his eyes.
The arrival’s aura was faintly discernible; hard to grasp. It was shockingly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!
