When martial artists broke through realms, which one of them would not make ample preparations?
Li Zhangyu did it on the spot. Clearly, he was full of confidence. That was also to say, breaking through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm was not even considered much to Li Zhangyu.
Such boldness, among the younger generation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, there was simply no one like it.
Luo Qingfeng finally just let out a sigh. Now, in this kind of situation, Ye Yuan could only count on himself.
Or perhaps, Ye Yuan could create a miracle.
If it were another person, Luo Qingfeng might just really move to stop this. But Ye Yuan could never be measured using common sense.
Some things that would never happen to others became uncertain with Ye Yuan.
After all, there was simply no martial artist who grasped true intent in the Southern Domain.
Ye Yuan was the sole person!
In a blink, storms raged in the entire plaza. The two essence energy storms towered to the skies and meshed together.
Initially, Ye Yuan’s essence energy tempest was already very exaggerated. But Li Zhangyu’s essence energy storm was more than a level stronger.
Li Zhangyu was a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The commotion when breaking through was obviously different.
With a fellow suddenly popping out to breakthrough, they naturally got a feast for their eyes.
“Who’s this person? Why have I never heard that we had such a senior apprentice brother?”
“What’s this person trying to do? Why does he have to squeeze with Ye Yuan if he wants to break through and not find a place to enter seclusion?”
“The situation is not quite right! This person is a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The essence energy tempest that he created is so powerful! Essence energy storms are originally used to plunder the surrounding essence energy for one’s own use. The essence energy storm that he created is already starting to pillage Ye Yuan’s!”
“Ye Yuan’s in danger! If his essence energy storm is looted, then his hope of breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm will be dashed to pieces! There might even be the danger of cultivation realm falling!”
“What kind of mysterious person this is? Such a powerful aura! A Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist’s breakthrough actually has such great commotion!”
Many people started to worry for Ye Yuan. Compared to a stranger, everyone naturally hoped for Ye Yuan to breakthrough.
Except, everyone sensed that the essence energy storm on Ye Yuan’s side was becoming increasingly weaker. Ye Yuan’s breakthrough also fell into a precarious situation, as if there would be signs of stopping at any time.
If Ye Yuan and Li Zhangyu competed in supreme true intent, these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples would absolutely not worry for him.
Ye Yuan had grasped true intent. Forget that Li Zhangyu was just at Crystal Formation Realm, even if he was at the Sea Transformation Realm, or even the Soul Sea Realm, they did not think that Li Zhangyu could win.
But they were breaking through cultivation realms currently, seizing essence energy.
This way, Ye Yuan’s true intent would not come in handy at all. Instead, his cultivation realm became his greatest disadvantage.
How could a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist possibly be a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist’s match in plundering essence energy?
Chapter 281

Ye Yuan’s breakthrough at just reached a critical juncture when he suddenly felt the essence energy around him diminishing and was almost unable to support his breakthrough anymore.
The occurrence of such a situation made him feel rather baffled.
Opening his eyes slightly, he saw someone else besides him. This person was apparently breaking through too.
The other person’s essence energy tempest was much stronger than his. It was clearly at the strength level that only a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist should have.
Ye Yuan understood the situation very quickly.
Although this person looked very unfamiliar, just by looking at the other party choosing to break through beside him, he clearly had malicious intentions!
Towards guys like this, Ye Yuan would never be courteous.
The corner of Ye Yuan’s lips curled slightly. He sneered coldly in his heart and thought to himself, Want to play a game of plundering essence energy? You’re going to cry!
Since the other party wanted to play, then he would let him have his fill!
Seemingly sensing Ye Yuan’s glance, Li Zhangyu also turned to look at Ye Yuan and did a thumbs down gesture. The provocation meaning was very thick.
“Truly too arrogant! This fellow actually dares to do this sort of infuriating gesture. Does he really take it as if our Tranquil Cloud Sect has nobody?”
“En? I remembered. He’s wearing the Heavenly Sky Sect uniform! He’s a Heavenly Sky Sect disciple!”
“What? Why would a Heavenly Sky Sect disciple run all the way to our Tranquil Cloud Sect to breakthrough realms?”
“Are you dumb? How is he coming here to break through realms? He’s simply here to show off! Seizing essence energy for his own breakthrough beside Ye Yuan, causing Ye Yuan’s breakthrough to fail, and even making such a hand gesture in front of so many of us, he’s really bullying our Tranquil Cloud Sect for having nobody!”
“That might be so, but this Heavenly Sky Sect disciple is really very strong! We have to do a crazy lot of preparations before breaking through realms and then finding an isolated place to seclude ourselves. But him, he just ran over here directly to breakthrough! Furthermore, look at his appearance; he clearly still has a lot of strength leftover as if breaking through is like eating a common fare to him.”
“I say, can you stop boosting other people’s morale and diminishing our prestige? You’re also aware of Ye Yuan’s talent. Perhaps a miracle will happen!”
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples recognized Li Zhangyu’s background, they became bound by a common hatred for the enemy.
Although most of them had never seen before Heavenly Sky Sect’s people, they all knew the Heavenly Sky Sect’s overbearingness.
Rather, it was Ye Yuan who was completely clueless about this. Facing Li Zhangyu’s provocation, he just smiled faintly and stood up.
Ye Yuan was simply disinclined to bother with this sort of lame provocation.
The way Ye Yuan saw it, this kind of provocation were simply like shrews shouting and cursing in public. You scolded me a sentence, so I have to scold you back?
The best way to snuff out the other party’s arrogance was nothing better than to beat the other party down! Beat until they were genuinely convinced!
“Spirit Gathering Seal!” Ye Yuan cried out.
Only to see Ye Yuan’s hands move like phantoms. Seals fired out one by one.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan’s essence energy storm became violent again!
Originally, Ye Yuan’s essence energy storm already became incomparably thin under Li Zhangyu’s pillaging with the danger of dissipating at any time.
But now, it was like Ye Yuan’s essence energy tempest was injected with stimulants, forcefully snatching much essence energy from Li Zhangyu’s side, and was even strengthening continuously!
As a high ranking alchemist, he needed to master countless seals.
There would be times where an alchemist would gather essence energy in order to raise the quality of medicinal pills. This Spirit Gathering Seal was a more low-end seal among them.
Ye Yuan would frequently use it when his realm was lower in his previous life. After his realm rose, he rarely used it.
But when using it now, it was still incomparably fluent, and the effect was also extremely powerful.
With the guidance of the seal, Ye Yuan’s essence energy storm was like a vortex, building up unendingly.
/> “Haha, didn’t I say that Ye Yuan wouldn’t admit defeat so easily? So what if he’s a Heavenly Sky Sect’s Crystal Formation Realm? Displaying his paltry skills before an expert like Ye Yuan, he entrapped himself, right?”
“That’s right! Wait until Ye Yuan loots the essence energy over at his side clean. See how he breaks through!”
“No biggie! To be haughty, you also have to look at the other person! You’ll die a very miserable death if you posture in front of a genius who grasped true intent! Haha!”
Looking at Ye Yuan turning the tides, Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples felt that they gained face.
Although they were not very familiar with Ye Yuan yet, they already took him as their own people.
Especially in front of outsiders’ provocation, this kind of recognition would magnify limitlessly!
Li Zhangyu clearly also became conscious of this change and could not help being greatly astonished.
There was an impassable gulf between middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm and middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm. The commotion caused by him breaking through realms was actually pulled back by a puny little middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm?
No wonder Luo Qingfeng was so vague earlier, rather like treasuring his own belongings.
Looking at it now, there was indeed something fishy!
“Heh heh, you certainly have some measly capabilities. But if you think that you can win me like this, then you’re too naïve! Return for me!”
With a low cry, Li Zhangyu’s aura skyrocketed once again!
Following that, his essence energy storm also became even more violent!
The essence energy that was initially snatched over by Ye Yuan returned to Li Zhangyu’ essence energy storm once more!
Ye Yuan’s efforts earlier were all in vain right now.
But Li Zhangyu’s actions gave the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples a huge shock!
“What? This fellow was actually holding back so much extra strength!”
“No way? This commotion of his is probably catching up to breaking through Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm already! Could all the Heavenly Sky Sect’s disciples be powerful to this extent?”
“What kind of joke is that?! Looking at his age, he’s even a few years younger than Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Yujiu, but his cultivation realm has already surpassed Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu! If breaking through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm can cause such a powerful momentum, his strength is likely close to our personal disciples already!”
“Is this the strength of the Southern Domain’s number one great sect? No wonder they dare to be so arrogant. How can other sects compare to this strength?”
“Ye Yuan is on his last legs! If it continues to get pillaged like this, Ye Yuan’s breakthrough failing is a minor matter; he might even injure his foundations!”
To a certain degree, the strength of the essence energy tempest could represent a martial artist’s strength and potential.
The essence energy storm when Ye Yuan broke through was several times stronger than ordinary people. This could reflect his strength to a certain extent.
But Li Zhangyu’s essence energy storm being so powerful meant that his true strength was definitely much stronger than a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm.
As for how his true strength was, it was hard to gauge, but it was definitely ridiculously strong!
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingfeng’s expression was also not too good.
He reckoned that Li Zhangyu’s strength was roughly the same as Mo Yuntian, but his age was nearly ten years younger than Mo Yuntian!
After ten years, what extent could Li Zhangyu reach?
Furthermore, Luo Qingfeng dared to confirm that Li Zhangyu’s strength was absolutely not considered the peak among the personal disciples.
Luo Qingfeng did not even dare to imagine anymore!
The disparity was already so great between the junior generations. Where would the sect’s future lie?
Could he really swallow humiliation and shoulder the burden to wait for the day the Tranquil Cloud Sect rose? Luo Qingfeng involuntarily started to doubt it.
The gap between the two sects was currently widening with each step and not shrinking!
Besides . . . could Ye Yuan still mature smoothly after experiencing such a setback today?
Chapter 282

Under Li Zhangyu’s pillaging, Ye Yuan’s essence energy storm became smaller and smaller.
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples saw this scene, they unwittingly had the feeling of the fox mourning the death of a hare.
This was the Tranquil Cloud Sect’s, no, the Southern Domain’s number one genius!
Was he going to fail like this?
Although they were unresigned to this, they also knew that this was not that their combat power was weak.
It was the opponent who was too strong. No matter how much of a genius Ye Yuan was, he was only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, while his opponent was a genius martial artist from the Southern Domain’s number one great sect!
Perhaps in terms of potential, Ye Yuan tossed Li Zhangyu several streets behind. But presently, Li Zhangyu was a whole major realm higher than Ye Yuan!
If it were others, they did not even have the qualifications to force Li Zhangyu to use his full strength and would just directly lay down their arms and surrender.
But Ye Yuan, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, forced out the other party’s full strength!
Originally, Li Zhangyu had a relaxed look even when breaking through. But now, his entire body was tensed. He was clearly straining himself a lot more.
Although Ye Yuan’s Spirit Gathering Seal was only a very low-level seal, Ye Yuan’s attainments were extremely profound. How could it be so easy to seize essence energy from him?
Facing this situation, Ye Yuan had a composed face as if it had nothing to do with him at all.
It was only to see him took out several essence crystals calmly and casually struck them out. They transformed into several rays of light that flew in multiple directions.
Essence crystals were crystalline bodies formed from heaven and earth essence energy. There was powerful yet pure essence energy contained within. Sect disciples mostly used essence crystals when cultivating.
In the martial arts world, essence crystals were also used as currency.
Essence crystals were very precious. Even core disciples did not have the right to use them. Only elite disciples would have an extremely small number of low-grade essence crystals every month.
Of course, Ye Yuan was also allotted some low-grade essence crystals every month with his nominal elder status.
The few essence crystals that Ye Yuan just casually fired out were middle-grade essence crystals. This was given to him by Skymaple after completing the Level Nine mission previously.
Nonchalantly firing out so many middle-grade essence crystals made everyone’s eyes pop out.
This was really quite extravagant!
“What’s Ye Yuan trying to do? Those seem to be middle-grade essence crystals earlier, right? Wasn’t he still core disciple status before this? Where did it come from?”
“Who cares where it came from?! The Heavenly Sky Sect already bullied to our doorstep to smack our faces, and you’re still in the mood to mind this?”
“Cough, cough, isn’t it because of momentary excitement? I say, what’s Ye Yuan doing here? Could it be that he still has a chance to turn the tide?”
“Ye Yuan’s methods are inexhaustible. There might really be a chance to turn defeat into victory! Using so many middle-grade essence crystals at once, Ye Yuan can’t be throwing stones to play, right?”
“En? What’s going on? Why do I feel like the surrounding essence energy seems to be drained?”
Li Zhangyu currently had his full focus on seizing Ye Yuan’s essence energy and breaking throu
gh. He did not see Ye Yuan’s actions.
But at this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The surrounding essence energy suddenly became much thicker, and there were increasingly more currents!
Opening his eyes to take a look, Li Zhangyu immediately jumped in fright.
As the few light spots around Ye Yuan sparkled, the surrounding essence energy became increasingly wild.
“Spirit Gathering Formation! Are you mad, punk? Your Dantian will be stuffed until it explodes!” Li Zhangyu exclaimed.
Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, “No problem. Isn’t there you to be buried with me?”
Li Zhangyu cried out weirdly, “Madman! You’re really a madman! Quickly stop!”
Ye Yuan made use of middle-grade essence crystals as the eye of the formation to set up a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation.
Originally, with Ye Yuan’s Spirit Condensation Realm strength, it was impossible to set up a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation.
But he borrowed Li Zhangyu’s essence energy storm ingeniously, leading the big with small, overcoming a greater force with only a small amount of strength, and successfully set up such an array formation.
The formation had already activated. The essence energy in the surrounding dozen of mile radius was siphoned clean by the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Such power, forget about Li Zhangyu, a puny little Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm, even if a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm were here, they would also not dare to borrow such an essence energy storm to breakthrough!
No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yuan doing this was a way of perishing together. If the two of them continued to breakthrough here, the outcome would only be being stuffed to death by essence energy.
Such a level of essence energy storm had clearly already exceeded the limits that Li Zhangyu could withstand.
“Doesn’t this Senior Apprentice Brother like to join in the fun? I created even more fun for you; why aren’t you joining in now?” Ye Yuan still smiled faintly as he said.
