Ye Yuan said smilingly, “I don’t have the habit of giving up halfway.”
“Do you feel that you can make it through this ninth level with your current strength? With your wit, you should be able to guess how powerful this palm will be. With your present strength, it’s simply impossible to be able to pass it! And the outcome of failing to pass it . . . is death! You’re the most talented youth in these ten thousand years. Killing you personally, I can’t really bear to,” said the black-clothed person.
The black-clothed person witnessed Ye Yuan’s heaven-defying talent along the way. He was naturally unwilling to destroy such a genius in his heart.
“Huhu, how will one know without trying? Senior, make your move!” Ye Yuan said indifferently without a care in this world.
The black-clothed person kept quiet and did not speak. The reason why he judged that Ye Yuan could not clear the ninth level was actually that Ye Yuan did not do anything in the later five days. He meditated in seclusion at the eighth level for five days!
Previously, Ye Yuan using three days to find the method to maneuver the strength of a true dragon, it truly astonished the black-clothed person for a bit.
But what made him puzzled was that Ye Yuan actually meditated in seclusion the entire time in the later five days!
Martial technique and comprehending concepts were different. The former needed one to constantly train.
Especially the dragon race’s martial technique, it needed time to polish even more so.
Ye Yuan did not think that he could clear the ninth level by being able to maneuver the strength of a true dragon, right?
Maneuvering true dragon’s strength to unleash a palm and using the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to unleash a palm were two entirely different concepts!
Or perhaps, Ye Yuan was comprehending the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm during these five days, but he had no gains?
No matter which angle one looked at, Ye Yuan did not have hopes of making it through the ninth level.
“I advise that you better give up! The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm ultimate palm, although I’m only using 20% strength, it’s also not what the current you can contend with. If you can comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, then there’s still hope. Although you can’t score a victory, you at least have the strength to protect yourself. But you only comprehended the method to maneuver the strength of a true dragon and have not learned the rudiments regarding the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. It’s simply impossible to survive!” musing briefly, the black-clothed person still exhorted him.
It was not that the black-clothed person was pessimistic about Ye Yuan. On the contrary, he was too optimistic about Ye Yuan.
But he was even clearer about the might of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!
The might of this martial technique, Ye Yuan was simply unable to experience.
The difficulty of this ninth level was too perverse!
“You should withdraw out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda first. You’re still young. Come again to the Vast Heaven Pagoda after ten years, this ninth level wouldn’t be considered much to you either! At that time, you will be able to experience the feeling of an awe-inspiring view from a high place! Young man, sometimes, take a step back, and it’s endless blue skies!” urged the black-clothed person.
Ye Yuan looked at the black-clothed person and suddenly grinned and said, “Many thanks for Senior’s concern. But this ninth level, I still want to challenge! In my world, behind are all sheer precipices and overhanging rocks. Only in front of me there are endless blue skies!”
It was not some heroic words, but the powerful self-confidence Ye Yuan exuded moved the black-clothed person visibly.
Yet, the way the black-clothed person saw it, he was still unable to understand Ye Yuan’s thinking.
A step back, endless blue skies; this was the black-clothed person’s understanding of life.
But advancing a step, endless blue skies, this was Ye Yuan’s understanding towards life!
Regardless of whether it was the previous life or this life, there was no ‘backing down,’ these two words in Ye Yuan’s dictionary!
Furthermore, to Ye Yuan, he truly could not wait for the next ten years!
Ten years were too long for Ye Yuan!
“Heh, you this boy, are really quite different! However . . . this is you asking for it yourself. if you die in my hands, you mustn’t have any grievances!”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “No complaints nor regrets!”

“Fine. Since it’s like this, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
The black-clothed person finished talking. The entire ninth level space became dim.
Now, it was only to see he lifted his palm up. An exceedingly violent aura spread out in all directions.
A colossal azure dragon gradually became distinct, coiling around behind the black-clothed person, with its face showing savageness as it looked at Ye Yuan.
Although he knew that this was just a dharma idol, Ye Yuan still felt tremendous pressure.
A fierce wind blew past, lifting the corner of Ye Yuan’s sleeves.
The palm force had yet to be released. There was already an imposing momentum that blotted out the skies and covered the earth engulfing everything.
“This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is hailed as able to shatter the firmament with force! Indeed, well-deserving of its reputation! He suppressed his cultivation to the Eighth Level Sea Transformation and only used 20% true dragon’s strength. This final palm actually has such power!”
This palm of the black-clothed person’s was much more powerful than Ye Yuan imagined!
The ninth level’s and eighth level’s difficulties were indeed not on the same level with this current level.
No wonder the black-clothed person kept on urging him to withdraw out of the ninth level. This level of difficulty was really not an ordinary kind of freakish!
He really did not know if this Vast Heaven Pagoda owner was a psychopath or not, to actually set up such a level of difficulty as a hurdle? How could this possibly be cleared?
Furthermore, without any doubt, this black-clothed person’s true dragon strength was clearly already cultivated to an extremely high level. Just 20% true dragon’s strength could actually generate such a horrifying move.
Ye Yuan stared at the black-clothed person without moving his gaze, mapping each one of his movements into his brain.
Suddenly, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth, “So that’s how it is!”
He slowly closed his eyes. The muscles on his body started to shake with a kind of strange tempo.
Ye Yuan learned from the black-clothed person’s manner, lifting his palm and maneuvering the true dragon strength in his entire body!
A faint phantom appeared behind Ye Yuan. It was actually a dharma idol azure dragon too!
When the black-clothed person saw this scene, his pupils constricted and his gaze revealed unbelievable shock.
“This boy . . . Just how did he accomplish it? This is my first time casting the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm’s ultimate palm. He . . . He actually learned it? How is this possible?
At this moment, the astonishment in the black-clothed person’s heart simply could not be described using words.
He was really incapable of imagining how monstrous a talent could comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm in such a short time!
There was actually such a heaven-defyingly talented youth in this world?
The black-clothed already arrived at the critical juncture of casting his skills at this time. He forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and continued casting the skill.
“Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm: Shattering Stars!”
The black-clothed person gave a sharp cry. The dh
arma idol true dragon was released with a roar.
That momentum was truly startling heaven and earth and making gods and ghosts weep!
A dharma idol true dragon flew towards Ye Yuan with baring its fangs and brandishing its claws!
To be able to condense a dharma idol, it indicated that the bloodline power was very strong.
And a true dragon dharma idol was all the more an extremely difficult dharma idol to condense. Even in the true dragon race, very few people could condense it as well.
Hence, this azure dragon before his eyes was on an entirely different level from the previous two levels.
At this time, Ye Yuan snapped opened both eyes, seemingly exerting all the strength in his body, pushing out the dharma idol behind him.
Compared to the black-clothed person’s dharma idol azure dragon, Ye Yuan’s dharma idol azure dragon was much more illusory and a size smaller too. Clearly, it was way lousier.
But this was not the key. The critical thing was that a little rookie like Ye Yuan could actually condense a dharma idol azure dragon!
Rumble!
Two dharma idol azure dragon collided together fiercely. The shock wave produced practically affected the entire ninth level!
The black-clothed person did not budge an inch in this tempest. Such an intense collision actually did not have any effect on him.
But Ye Yuan could not. He directly vomited a large mouthful of blood, receiving a tremendous impact.
If not that his current body went through the dragon blood’s remolding and was already no longer what it was, this blow could claim his life!
However, it was not over yet!
The black-clothed person’s dharma idol azure dragon directly smashed Ye Yuan’s dharma idol and continued charging towards Ye Yuan!
But the dharma idol azure dragon at this time was only left with a faint image. Clearly, a large portion of the true dragon strength was expended.
“Myriad Rain Sword Blades!”
Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation. He forcefully suppressed the injuries on his body and maneuvered all the essence energy in his body, executing the Myriad Rain Sword Blades without holding anything back!
Rumble!
Another violent collision!
But the commotion this time was far from as intense as before.
Ye Yuan vomited a large mouthful of blood again, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
Although the dharma idol azure dragon only had a faint phantom left, the power was still extremely strong.
Ye Yuan forcefully deployed essence energy under the circumstances where he was injured. It originally already caused his injuries to pile on. Suffering an intense impact once more, he was already very weak at this time.
However, the black-clothed person’s dharma idol azure dragon was completely exhausted by Ye Yuan in the end.
The black-clothed person looked at this scene and was speechless for a long time. He finally still heaved a sigh and said, “I really have no way of imagining just how did you comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm! Such a pity . . . According to that fellow’s requirements, you must stand up in the end! But you’re heavily injured right now and your essence energy depleted. Forget about standing up, even moving a bit is probably impossible!”
The black-clothed person was indeed shocked. But he was incapable of going against the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner’s requirements.
If Ye Yuan could not stand up, he would still fail in the end!
“But you don’t need to feel sorry either. You’ve already done very well! Vast Heaven Pagoda doesn’t forbid martial artists from entering a second time. With your talent, the ninth level would simply be unworthy of mentioning in front of you ten years later!” The black-clothed person consoled.
Ye Yuan lying on the ground seemed to be stimulated and started to struggle to his feet.
“Not . . . It’s not over yet!”
Ye Yuan’s fists clenched tightly as he used all the strength in the body, wanting to get up!
The black-clothed person’s expression changed. His judgment regarding Ye Yuan’s injuries should not be wrong.
Logically speaking, it was simply impossible for Ye Yuan to stand up. But . . .
This boy . . .
Bang!
Ye Yuan struggled a bit but still fell to the ground again.
“Don’t struggle anymore. You’ll die if this continues! Admit defeat. The Vast Heaven Pagoda can treat your wounds!”
Seeing Ye Yuan being so stubborn, the black-clothed person could not help being quite worried as well.
This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm’s final palm was nothing to be trifled with. Ye Yuan had injuries piling on top of injuries right now. Even if his body had undergone the dragon blood’s remolding, it already reached the limit too.
Ye Yuan messing around like this would really be putting his life at risk!
“No! I . . . I can . . . stand up!” Ye Yuan said obstinately.
He panted very heavily like puffing bellows. Clearly, his body already reached the limit.
Yet, he still stubbornly propped his body up and slowly got up!
The black-clothed person was visibly moved looking at this scene too. He wished that he could go forward and give Ye Yuan a hand.
But the black-clothed person knew that if he really did that, not only would Ye Yuan not thank him, he would hate him instead.
Because that way would not only make Ye Yuan’s challenge fail, it even trampled on Ye Yuan’s dignity!
This was a peerless genius’s pride. Ye Yuan could die, but he absolutely did not need other people’s charity!
“I finally understand why you want to set up such a stage! He and you . . . are really alike!” the black-clothed person murmured to himself. He seemed to have understood something. They were too similar.
Chapter 586 - Dragon Wave

Bang!
Ye Yuan fell to the ground once more. This was already the fourth time he failed.
During these attempts, his wounds were affected and became worse each time. He had vomited quite a few mouthfuls of blood. His complexion became increasingly paler, and his breathing progressively weaker. But he still stubbornly attempted to stand up once again.
“Argh!”
Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body to howl.
This time, he finally stood up!
But his two legs already did not have the slightest bit of strength. He stood up and his legs went weak, and he almost fell down again.
Only after staggering quite a few steps did Ye Yuan barely stabilize his figure.
“Huff . . . Huff . . .”
Ye Yuan was panting non-stop. He was already weary to the limit. His body kept on swaying but did not fall down from start to finish.
Seeing this scene, the black-clothed person’s countenance finally changed.
If it was said that he purely had the appreciation of a genius towards Ye Yuan previously, at this moment, he was filled with admiration towards Ye Yuan.
He had long seen through that Ye Yuan had already reached his limits. To be able to stand up, Ye Yuan relied entirely on one breath to forcefully hang in there.
Without immense willpower, it simply could not be done!
The black-clothed person came before Ye Yuan and said, “Boy, you’re bound to be a world-shaking figure in the future. To be able to wait for you, my 50 thousand years of bitter guarding this place were not in vain either!”
Ye Yuan paid no attention to him. He still swayed constantly there with his head lowered.
“En?”
The black-clothed person suddenly discovered something amiss. Looking close, Ye Yuan actually had both eyes tightly shut. He had already fainted dead away.
Seeing the situation, the black-clothed person gave a long sigh and beckoned with one hand. A beam of light shone down from the air, enveloping Ye Yuan inside.
The au
ra on Ye Yuan’s body was already very weak. If it were still not treated, he would really die!
But the black-clothed person was really unable to imagine just what kind of willpower Ye Yuan relied on to stand up.
The black-clothed person looked at the Ye Yuan in the middle of the light halo; his expression and emotion were complicated.
How many years had it been since his emotions were so worked up?
He waited for 50 thousand years in his Vast Heaven Pagoda. Yet, there was not a single one who could truly enter his sights.
Several thousand years ago, when that youth called Li Fantian appeared before him, it finally made his eyes lit up.
However, Li Fantian ultimately still could not make it through the eighth level. This even made him feel regret for a very long time back then.
All the way until Ye Yuan’s appearance, finally this youth gave him a real shock.
In truth, back at the first three levels, the black-clothed person did not feel that Ye Yuan was much stronger than Li Fantian yet. But when Ye Yuan had the second Perfect Completion, the black-clothed person finally realized Ye Yuan’s extraordinariness.
Especially Ye Yuan had refined the dragon blood. This gave him a tremendous impact.
And now, the black-clothed person was filled with admiration towards this youth.
This youth dad talent, had willpower, and had lucky chances. Ye Yuan possessed virtually all the qualities to become a powerhouse.
More importantly, he saw that person’s shadow on Ye Yuan.
Stubbornness! An unyielding spirit!
All the way until this moment did the black-clothed person finally understand the purpose of the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner setting up this ninth level hurdle!
What this ninth level tested was not just comprehension abilities, it tested a person’s character even more.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and discovered that he was at an unknown space.
“You’re awake? Here is the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s central space. You’ve already successfully cleared the ninth level,” an aged voice said.
