Ye Yuan was enlightened when he heard. It turned out that there was still such a formidable ferocious beast.
These Souleater Beasts were simply the jinx of Ghost Dao powerhouses. But to corpse path powerhouses and humans, they were nothing much.
They practically only lived in the three great blood pools.
Because this place had large quantities of soul bodies.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Another dozen over Souleater Beasts suddenly scurried out, the speed inconceivably swift.
Several Ghost Dao Empyreans at the outer area were frightened until their complexions were ashen, all kinds of horrifying attacks flying over.
But these Souleater Beasts were incomparably sensitive. A twinkle in the air, and they directly dodged all of these disorderly attacks.
“Ahhh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
“Ahhh!!”
… …
Several miserable cries came over. A few Ghost Empyreans were dragged away by the Souleater Beasts just like that, who then started eating them with relish at one side.
Devouring these Ghost Dao Empyreans, the auras of those Souleater Beasts actually grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye!
How could those Ghost Dao Empyreans still keep their wits about them, turning tail and running?
The seven great Heavenly Emperors snorted coldly. A horrifying pressure spread out, those Empyreans went even paler.
There were wolves in front, tigers at the back, they could not run at all!
The seven great Heavenly Emperors clearly regarded the Asura abnormality this time with great importance, it was impossible to withdraw easily.
At this time, Ninelives pointed at Ye Yuan and said coldly, “You, go and finish off the Souleater Beasts!”
Everyone was stunned. Even Ye Yuan was also taken aback.
“Me? Alone?” Ye Yuan somewhat did not dare to believe it.
Ninelives nodded and said, “That’s right! You can choose to face them, or face the seven of us!”
A cold light appeared in Ye Yuan’s eyes, this Heavenly Emperor Ninelives was too much!
This guy was clearly targeting him.
The other few Heavenly Emperors all had gloating faces. Clearly, they viewed him as a different kind and were only exploiting him.
As for his life and death, they did not care at all.
Ye Yuan’s gaze flicked, and he said in a solemn voice, “Fine, I’ll go!”
Ye Yuan brandished his sword and advanced, dividing the crowd, slowly walking over toward those Souleater Beasts.
The group of Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances and smiled, hints of amused expressions revealing on their faces.
There were several dozen Souleater Beasts in front of him. They were all rank seven existences.
Normally, it should be impossible for so many rank seven Souleater Beasts to appear all of a sudden.
But the blood pool was having abnormal activities currently, these guys all scurried out one after another.
“Kill!”
Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, his figure turning into a phantom, rushing straight for the Souleater Beasts.
What he rushed towards was just a middle-stage rank seven Souleater Beast, that Souleater Beast also charged toward Ye Yuan, a hint of scorn flashing across in its eyes.
With a squeak, it disappeared before Ye Yuan’s eyes.
Then there was a squelch.
Amidst everyone’s amazed gazes, when the Souleater Beast that originally disappeared showed its figure, the bone sword passed through its chest!
This Souleater Beast was already deader than dead.
Before dying, the Souleater Beast still opened its eyes wide to look at Ye Yuan, clearly not believing that Ye Yuan could actually kill it.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak …”
The Souleater Beasts started braying frenziedly, turning into one glimmering afterimage after another, pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.
The claws of these Souleater Beasts were extremely sharp. Their attacks actually carried spatial law!
Even when encountering ordinary Empyreans, they likely had no opponents in the same rank too.
It was just a pity that they ran into Ye Yuan.
Apart from a few late-stage rank seven Souleater Beasts that could fight with Ye Yuan to the point they were evenly-matched, the other Souleater Beasts could not block Ye Yuan’s sword at all.
Ye Yuan’s sword was like a ghost amidst the bloody light. Areas that it passed by, it reaped the lives of Souleater Beasts without restraint.
Chapter 2236. Too Late |
The Ghost Empyreans were incredibly shocked!
Ye Yuan’s strength was clearly only Fifth Firmament Empyrean, but his combat strength was not the slightest bit inferior to a Seventh Firmament Empyrean.
Furthermore, his sword was extremely bizarre. It actually disregarded the Souleater Beasts’ spatial law!
No matter how swift like lightning these Souleater Beasts were, he could kill them with one sword move.
Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn’s gaze turned slightly dark and said, “This kid is fishy!”
Heavenly Emperor Ninelives’ eyes were sharp and said with some surprise, “This boy knows some spatial law too. Furthermore … he fused Sword Dao law and spatial law. His offensive power is very sharp. I didn’t expect that he’s also adept at restraining Souleater Beasts.”
Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn sneered when he heard that and said, “Human genius martial artist is it? Jeje, dying here is also pretty good!”
The other Heavenly Emperors also had gloating expressions on their faces.
But when the Empyreans heard it, they felt surprised.
This punk’s soul force was so strong. So they did not expect that he was also such a terrifying genius in martial arts.
No wonder he could actually block Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn’s attack previously.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak …”
Suddenly, ear-piercing screams were emitted in the caves by the side.
Three enormous Souleater Beasts scurried out, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan!
“Hiss … There are actually still several Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts hiding!”
“Luckily this brat lured them out! Otherwise, we’d be dead for sure!”
“However, this boy’s strength is genuinely strong. Placed among human martial artists, he’s absolutely a first-rate genius too! What a shame, he’s going to die here.”
… …
When the group of Ghost Empyreans saw these three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts, each and every one of them felt their scalps tingle.
This level of Souleater Beasts was virtually one bite each for them!
After Ye Yuan killed more than a dozen Souleater Beasts in a row, these three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts finally could not hold back anymore.
With three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts joining in, Ye Yuan’s pressure immediately skyrocketed.
But he relied on his movement technique’s superiority and could barely manage to tangle with the Souleater Beasts.
When the group of Empyreans saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.
Ye Yuan’s combat strength was too fearsome. He was simply a human-shaped monster.
These three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts, each one facing a human Eighth Firmament Empyrean could definitely win too.
But, under the pincer attacks of so many Souleater Beasts, Ye Yuan could actually still hold out.
Even though Ye Yuan’s body had quite a few injuries added, the number of Souleater Beasts was still slowly reducing.
The faces of the group of Heavenly Emperors finally revealed solemn expressions.
Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, “This brat was actually still hiding his strength previously! If not for these three Souleater Beasts taking action, we’ve all have been deceived by him!”
> Heavenly Emperor Ninelives’s gaze also turned slightly dark and said, “Hiding his strength is nothing much, but these Souleater Beasts are a huge threat! I reckon that there might even be peak Empyrean Realm Souleater Beasts hiding nearby!”
The moment these words came out, the Heavenly Emperors turned pale with fright!
Peak Empyrean Souleater Beasts were absolutely horrifying existences to Ghost Dao powerhouses.
Peak Empyrean and Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts hiding, what were their targets?
Was there still a need to say?
At this time, they were rejoicing greatly for Ye Yuan’s existence.
If not for Ye Yuan, they might really have been tricked by these Souleater Beasts.
While Heavenly Emperors were invincible existences, Souleater Beasts and Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were different.
Peak Empyrean Souleater Beasts similarly posed tremendous threats to Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors!
Encountering a natural enemy, the disparity in cultivation realm was no longer disparity sometimes.
If these Souleater Beasts sneak attacked by taking advantage of the chaos, the final result would really be hard to say.
If a peak Empyrean Souleater Beast could eat a Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperor, breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor would practically not have much suspense anymore.
This kind of temptation was worth Souleater Beasts taking the risk.
However, all their plans were disrupted by Ye Yuan.
His strength was too strong and actually forcefully contending with the Souleater Beasts horde by himself!
Currently, even Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts were forced out, and they were still unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.
Sure enough, not long after, a green shadow tore through the blood colors and flew straight for Ye Yuan.
Rumble!
Ye Yuan’s reaction was extremely fast. With a backhand, it was a sword.
However, this Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast was too strong. Ye Yuan vomited a mouthful of fresh bloody violently and was blasted flying out.
How could Ye Yuan still dare to remain still? His figure flashed, tunneling into one of the nearby passageways.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak …”
The Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast cried out strangely and turned into a streak of green light to chase after.
The Souleater Beasts were already enraged. How could they be willing to let Ye Yuan go?
Several dozen Souleater Beasts were in hot pursuit, chasing Ye Yuan into that passageway.
A hint of amusement flashed across the corners of Heavenly Emperor Ninelives’ mouth and he said coolly, “Alright, let’s go then!”
Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn laughed loudly and said, “This brat finally met his match. This time, see if he still doesn’t die!”
Ye Yuan luring away the Souleater Beasts, the Empyreans could finally heave a sigh in relief.
But following that, there was no one to block the spear for them anymore, they could only hope for the best.
In the crowd, Wu Jiang’s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, he still followed everyone and left.
… …
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yuan turned into a streak of flowing light, speed swift to the extreme.
Behind him, several dozen Souleater Beasts were quick as lightning, in hot pursuit.
This passageway’s blood light was a little dimmer, clearly, it was not the most important passageway.
In a blink, they arrived in an open area.
Ye Yuan’s figure suddenly stopped!
The group of Souleater Beasts also abruptly stopped, enclosing Ye Yuan in the middle.
The Souleater Beasts’ leader looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of balefulness in its gaze.
These Souleater Beasts had extremely high intellect. Furthermore, their guts were massive, to actually dare ambush Heavenly Emperors!
However, all these plans were ruined by Ye Yuan. So how could they not be furious?
Ye Yuan looked at the Souleater Beast leader and said with a light smile, “Alright, there’s no one here anymore, can send you all on the way already!”
The current Ye Yuan, his entire person’s aura was incomparably sharp and fierce, just like a sharp sword that was drawn from its sheath. How did he look like he was heavily injured earlier?
Heavenly Emperor Ninelives they all thought that Ye Yuan was already forced to his limits. Actually, all this was within Ye Yuan’s calculations!
Souleater Beasts were very clever. Seeing Ye Yuan’s appearance, they immediately became vigilant, eyes revealing wary looks.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak …”
The Souleater Beasts suddenly cried out strangely, turning into bolts of lightning, and they were about to escape.
“Too late … Immobilize!” The corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth curled slightly as he opened his mouth and said coolly.
Time Freeze!
Several dozen streaks of sword light flashed by and disappeared. How much stronger was the power compared to before?
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Several dozen Souleater Beasts were directly killed by Ye Yuan!
The Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast was already heavily injured on the verge of death, without the slightest strength to resist.
While the Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast’s strength was formidable and was not thoroughly dead yet.
“Seal!”
Ye Yuan moved like lightning, instantly laying down an array formation, and imprisoning these few Souleater Beasts.
Ye Yuan took out a small bottle and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect that there are actually still fierce beasts like you guys. This really greatly exceeded my expectations. Heh, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, since you think so highly of this Ye, then this Ye also can’t be stingy and will send a big gift to you later!”
Chapter 2237. Repaying Great Kindness |
Within a massive karst cave, several dozen figures were above the dome.
Above the dome, there was a densely packed swarm, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
The Ghost Dao Empyreans were currently undergoing a bloody battle with a bunch of blood-red bats.
On the other side, the seven great Heavenly Emperors were currently in a fierce battle with three gigantic Bloodwing Bats.
Fortunately, space was heavily distorted here, the undulations of their battle, the majority of it was transmitted away.
The three Bloodwing Bat Kings were all Heavenly Emperor Realm, with their combat strength being extremely formidable. Even if there was Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, this Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor taking part in the battle, they were still unable to do anything to them within a short time.
A blood-red lotus flower was growing upside down above the dome, emitting heart palpitating undulations.
That was shockingly a rank eight spirit medicine!
On the battlefield, came Ninelives’s alarmed and furious voice.
“This group of fools actually can’t even take care of a bunch of bats! So many people added up isn’t as good as that kid alone too! Really a bunch of good-for-nothings!”
At this time, he actually somewhat missed Ye Yuan.
This group of people walking all the way, encountered this Blood Lotus Flower before long.
Rank eight spirit medicine, these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were naturally moved.
But who would have expected that this Blood Lotus Flower actually had a large group of Bloodwing Bats protecting, and there were even three Heavenly Emperor Realm Bloodwing Bat Kings!
Even though seven great Heavenly Emperors joining hands practically overwhelmed the Bloodwing Bats, they could not take them down in a short time either.
The living things in this blood pool all had their methods against soul bodies.
Among them, one of the Bloodwing Bat Kings was already a peak First Firmament Heavenly Emper
or. Coupled with its strange sound wave attack, even Heavenly Emperor Ninelives would find it hard to ward off too.
While on the other side, those Bloodwing Bat numbers were tremendous.
Although the majority of these Bloodwing Bats were only rank six, the numbers of rank seven were not a lot, but their numbers were too many.
After a bloody battle, the Bloodwing Bats and Ghost Dao Empyreans this side suffered heavy casualties.
“Damn it, if I’d long known this, I would have let that punk live a while longer! These fools, they simply don’t have any use at all.” Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Only at this time did they know the significance of Ye Yuan’s existence.
At this time, it was too late to repent.
“Brother Ninelives, this isn’t a solution. Until when are you planning on holding back?” Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather said in a solemn voice.
Heavenly Emperor Ninelives let out a sigh and said, “Forget it. I originally wanted to save some strength, but these three fellows are indeed somewhat troublesome.”
Finished talking, his fingertips curled lightly. A black lantern appeared in his hand.
The black lantern emitted an incomparably strong aura, it was shockingly a heavenly emperor spirit treasure!
When the Heavenly Emperors saw this scene, each and every one of them was overjoyed.
“Youluo Ghost Lantern!” Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn said with a pleasant surprise.
This Youluo Ghost Lantern was Heavenly Emperor Ninelives’s lifeblood heavenly emperor spirit treasure. Its power was immensely powerful.
One could say that the Heavenly Emperor Ninelives with the Youluo Ghost Lantern was the real Heavenly Emperor Ninelives!
It was only to see Heavenly Emperor Ninelives hold his palm out. Youluo Ghost Lantern exuded a sinister ghostly energy, making the entire karst cave’s temperature drop by a few degrees.
“Voracious Ghost Face, devour for me!”
Heavenly Emperor Ninelives’s gaze turned intent, crying out coldly. A behemoth-like ghostly figure emerged from the Youluo Ghost Lantern.
