But he had yet to leave when his path was blocked by someone.
The arrival was very polite. Clasping his hands at Ye Yuan, he asked, “May I ask if you’re Lord Ye Yuan?”
“Exactly so. What guidance do you have?” Ye Yuan said coolly.
The person said, “This one is Sun Qi, the number one battle general under the third level’s Lord Demon King. Lord Demon King heard that Lord Ye Yuan is an outstanding young talent and wants to get acquainted with you, and specially order this lowly one to come here and invite milord up to the third level to have a chat.”
There were quite a few people in the outer-pavilion. Seeing Sun Qi, all of them were taken aback.
“It’s actually Lord Sun Qi! I heard that he’s the number one battle general under the Demon King; an expert ranked 58th on the Earth Carnage Proclamation! He’s actually so courteous to Ye Yuan!”
“Looks like Ye Yuan really made a name for himself. He hasn’t entered the third level yet, and he won Lord Demon King’s recognition, sending Lord Sun Qi personally here to invite. Truly remarkable!”
For a moment, there were many discussions inside the Asura Shop.
Chapter 885 - True Strength
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inviting Ye Yuan to join the team, this was nothing rare.
With Ye Yuan’s performance in the second level, he was bound to be regarded highly by those heavyweights after going to the third level.
What made people surprised was Sun Qi’s attitude.
Who was Sun Qi?
A powerhouse ranked 58 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. His strength was way stronger compared to Leng Qing.
An important person like this was actually so respectful towards Ye Yuan!
Even if he was sent here under the Demon King’s orders, it should not be this kind of attitude.
When did this Asura Arena become so civil and polite?
“Who’s the Demon King? I don’t know, and I’m not interested in knowing as well! I still have to go back to enter seclusion and cultivate. Don’t come and bother me!” Ye Yuan said with a look of impatience.
He was currently in high spirits and wanted to cultivate the Slaughter Sword Art. But another whatever Demon King jumped out again. It would be weird if he could be happy.
But these words were totally not the case when it fell into other people’s ears!
Who was the Demon King? One of the third level’s kings! A powerful existence ranked in the top five! Ye Yuan actually dared to speak impertinently!
If these words were to be brought back by Sun Qi, wouldn’t Lord Demon King blow his top?
The reason why the Demon King was called the Demon King was that he killed people without batting an eye! Regardless of who they were, as long as they provoked him, he obliterated without exception!
Maybe the Demon King was not the strongest one in the third level, but he was absolutely the most savage and cruel one in the third level!
Finished talking, Ye Yuan walked off without any care, and he did not even give Sun Qi a glance either.
Sun Qi’s face turned dark. What kind of person was Sun Qi? Coming to invite a second level’s brat, this guy actually still did not give face.
But upon thinking of Lord Demon King’s instructions, Sun Qi forcefully pressed down the discontentment in his heart, caught up with Ye Yuan, and said, “Since Lord Ye Yuan has already obtained the qualifications to advance to the third level, isn’t going up to the third level to cultivate the same as well? Lord Demon King has already prepared a third level’s top-tier cultivation chamber for you and can provide for milord’s cultivation.”
Regarding Sun Qi’s attitude, Ye Yuan was a little surprised too. He initially thought that Sun Qi would explode. Did not expect that this guy would actually be so good-tempered?
Ever since arriving at the Chaotic Devil Sea, Ye Yuan still very rarely saw such a good-tempered person.
But a top-tier cultivation chamber made Ye Yuan slightly moved.
One had to know that this top-tier cultivation chamber, one slaughter point could only use for three days. If not to assault bottlenecks, ordinary people would not rent it.
Ye Yuan paused for a bit and said, “Alright then, looking on account of the top-tier cultivation chamber, I’ll take a trip with you! I still have some matters to take care of at the second level. You go to the third level and wait for me.”
Actually, there wasn’t much stuff to take care of either. Ye Yuan was just going back to say goodbye to Tan Si.
These few days, Tan Si was still considered attentive and satisfactory. Ye Yuan naturally would not be miserly towards him either. He gave him some medicinal pills and instructed him to cultivate well.
Right now, the second level all knew that Tan Si was his follower. There naturally would not be anyone without eyes that would be making things too difficult for him.
Tan Si still had a lot of potential. During this period, his improvement was apparent as well. Advancing to the third level in the future was also not impossible.
After settling Tan Si’s affairs, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level.
…
Sun Qi brought Ye Yuan to an empty hall, saying to go report his arrival, and then disappeared.
In the entire hall, Ye Yuan was left all alone by himself.
Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his outstanding skills and did not mind either. He sat down calmly and drank tea.
Even after drinking the entire pot of tea, there was still no one who came to say hello. Inside the hall, it was still and quiet, with only Ye Yuan’s continuously tea-drinking slight sounds.
A cold atmosphere gradually loomed. This matter seemed like a trap, no matter how one looked at it.
“Make your move. Holding it in for so long, aren’t you tired?” Ye Yuan gently put down the teapot and said coolly.
As if responding to Ye Yuan’s words, a dark shadow suddenly dashed out. A palm with an irresistible force rumbled over towards Ye Yuan.
Bang!
The chair Ye Yuan was sitting on and the table were directly smashed into dust.
“Strength is decent! But since your esteemed self invited me here, could it be that you don’t dare to reveal your true appearance to people?” Ye Yuan already composed himself and did not have the slightest awareness of falling into a trap.
This person in front of him was dressed in black robes. He was even wearing a black fanged-mask on his face, looking very ferocious.
The masked man did not speak. Raising his hand, it was another palm!
Ye Yuan’s punch rumbled out, directly annihilating the masked man’s palm force.
“Mighty Heaven God Annihilating Palm!”
The masked man’s low voice transmitted over. A horrifying palm force assaulted towards Ye Yuan.
Violent killing intent filled the entire hall. This palm was clearly unleashed with the Slaughter Supreme True Intent.
In terms of the Slaughter Supreme True Intent’s level, it was evidently above Leng Qing’s!
Ye Yuan reckoned that even if this masked man’s Slaughter Concept did not reach seven stars, it was not far away either.
Although soul generals were divided into nine stars, these stars would be harder and harder to condense towards the back.
Six stars to seven stars, there was a major threshold too. A martial artist had to fight goodness knows how many matches before they could amass enough Slaughter Concept.
This masked man in front of him should be that so-called Demon King.
Facing such a palm, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless either. He immediately revolved the Void Dragon Shadow Punch to the limits!
Boom!
Two attacks with tremendous power collided together. A massive energy wave directly ravaged the hall. The roof immediately crumbled down.
The entire hall instantly turned into a wasteland.
But right at this time, the skies suddenly dimmed. The skies studded with stars.
A terrifying energy undulation instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside!
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan did not reveal a solemn expression but smiled instead.
He finally knew who this Demon King was!
“I didn’t expect that you, this fellow, actually ran to the Chaotic Devil Sea! But your improvement really makes me feel astonished! Since you want to test my limits, I’ll let you witness my true strength!”
The smile on Ye Yuan’s face gradually faded away. The Starmoon Sword quietly landed in his hand.
Ye Yuan slightly raised the Starmoon Sword, then just casually slashed in the air. A massive rift was actually slashed out in the sky!
After that, those motes of stars were completely annihilated under this slash!
This powerful Lumen Star Brilliance move was broken by Ye Yuan with a wave of his hand.
“Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword … Will Soaring to the Skies!” Ye Yuan lightly spat out these few words.
Behind that black mask, those pupils constricted, clearly shocked by the scene before his eyes.
Only when the skies recovered its clearness did the masked man come back to his senses from the midst of shock. He heaved a long sigh and said, “I thought that I was already powerful enough. Didn’t think that the gap with you became bigger and bigger!”
The masked man slowly removed the fanged-mask, revealing a delicate and good-looking face. Who could it be but Nalan Chu?
Back then, Nalan Chu left the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, saying he wanted to go out and train. But Ye Yuan never expected that he actually ran to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land and even entered inside the Asura Arena.
In Ye Yuan’s impression, Nalan Chu was a free and unconventional modest gentleman. But this Demon King before his eyes subverted Ye Yuan’s understanding of him.
It seemed like during this period, his transformation was really not small.
Chapter 886 - 12 Exalts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at this debris all over the floor, Sun Qi could not help opening his mouth wide.
He originally thought that Lord Demon King calling Ye Yuan over was just because he admired Ye Yuan and wished to take him under his wing.
He did not expect that this Ye Yuan’s strength was actually this powerful!
Lord Demon King was actually defeated at Ye Yuan’s hands!
Nalan Chu’s title of Demon King did not appear out of thin air but was fought out match by match.
To be able to slaughter into the third level’s top five, it could be seen how powerful Lord Demon King’s strength was.
But such a Lord Demon King actually still lost to Ye Yuan!
Just what background did this Third Level Heaven Enlightenment brat have?
“Compared to before, you’re indeed much more powerful! It was absolutely impossible for the past you to force me to use Will Soaring to the Skies!” Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
“Will Soaring to the Skies! A fine Will Soaring to the Skies! Your sword intent is indeed already riding above the ninth layer of heaven! A sword like this is simply as the saying if gods block, kill gods, if Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!” Nalan Chu said with vicissitudes of emotion.
Nalan Chu had a deep understanding of Ye Yuan’s prowess after exchanging blows with Ye Yuan.
The last time, Ye Yuan using his most powerful Rending the Sky already shocked him.
Training and tempering these few years in the Asura Arena, Nalan Chu had always chased after Ye Yuan as his goal. His improvement was tremendous.
At one point, Nalan Chu also felt that he was already very close to Ye Yuan. But upon seeing today, Ye Yuan’s strength was still far above his!
This stance, Will Soaring to the Skies, truly rode above the ninth layer of heaven. He could not think of any strategies to resolve it at all.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Wait until the day my sword intent reaches major accomplishment, maybe it can really kill gods if gods block, kill Buddha if Buddha blocks. But right now, it’s still somewhat lacking.”
Nalan Chu also smiled and said, “That’s just a matter of time. Alright, this place isn’t a place to talk. Sun Qi, we’ll go to your residence.”
Sun Qi bowed and said, “Yes, Your Excellency!”
When Ye Yuan walked past him once again, the feeling in Sun Qi’s heart was completely different.
This young man’s strength was too terrifying!
Only after having some small talk with Nalan Chu did Ye Yuan know that Nalan Chu’s these two years of training and tempering was also rather not easy.
Nalan Chu had a warm-hearted and compassionate personality too. En route his training and tempering, he encountered an unjust matter.
A Rank Seven Holy Land’s junior disciple was in the process of violating a woman. Nalan Chu killed that person in his rage, then incurred endless pursuit. Along the way, he was forced into hopeless situations several times and narrowly lost his life, but he still pulled through in the end.
Rank Seven Holy Lands were not what the Crimson Afterglow, that sort of Rank Nine Holy Lands, could afford to provoke. Nalan Chu did not dare to expose his identity. Being forced against his will, Nalan Chu fled to the Chaotic Devil Sea.
As luck would have it, he obtained an Absolute Kill Token. Hence, he entered the Asura Arena.
Nalan Chu did not think that after he experienced life and death several times, his entire person underwent a complete transformation, integrating into the fighting ways of the Asura Arena very quickly.
In this place, he advanced with leaps and bounds. Not only he almost became a seven-star soul general already, but his Light Supreme True Intent also broke through to the third-stage!
“On that day, I heard that the second level had an upstart who is called Ye Yuan too. Moreover, his strength was overwhelming in the second level. I thought about whether or not there was such a coincidental thing. Later, I obtained the recording of you and Leng Qing fighting, before discovering that it’s actually really you!”
Running into an old friend in a foreign land, Nalan Chu was clearly very excited too.
These two years plus time, regardless of whether was it strength or temperament, Nalan Chu underwent a tremendous change.
Demon King this title was not given randomly. This was simply unimaginable for the former Nalan Chu.
Ye Yuan also talked about the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s recent developments with Nalan Chu. Nalan Chu sighed endlessly when he heard it too.
But he was also very happy when he was informed that Tu You broke through and that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was promoted to a Rank Eight Holy Land.
“Ye Yuan, since you’ve already advanced to the third level, isn’t it time to choose a camp?” after the small talk, Nalan Chu said.
“Choose a camp?” Ye Yuan had a perplexed look.
Nalan Chu nodded his head and explained, “This Asura Arena is actually controlled by the 12 Great Exalts. Martial artists from the first level to the sixth level, regardless of whether Heaven Enlightenment Realm or Phaseless Realm, they actually all belonged to one of the 12 Great Exalts.”
Hearing Nalan Chu say so, Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization: “No wonder Leng Qing really got his wish when he wanted to fight with me!”
“Above Leng Qing is Exalt Heavenly Hedonist of the 12 Great Exalts. The exalt I belong to is Exalt Zhuo Yan. If my conjectures are right, Exalt Si Yin has probably got an eye on you already. Seems like she wants to pull you under her command,” Nalan Chu said.
Ye Yuan was stunned. Si Yin’s face emerged before his eyes.
“You’re saying that female attendant in the Asura Shop is one of the 12 Exalts?”
Ye Yuan had a blank look. Hearing Exalt Si Yin this name, he finally came back to his senses.
Si Yin calculated a myriad of things, but she did not calculate that Ye Yuan actually had a personal friendship with this Lord Demon King.
Nalan Chu smiled and said, “The 12 Exalts�
�� statuses in the Asura Arena are all different. The area Exalt Si Yin is in charged of is precisely the Asura Shop!”
Ye Yuan had a speechless look. That young lady was also a bit too capable at acting, right? Although Ye Yuan had suspicions long ago, he also did not think that this young lady was actually one of the 12 Exalts.
“Like this huh? What if I don’t join their camps?” Ye Yuan pondered about it and said.
“Not joining their camps, unless you have heaven-defying strength, otherwise, you can only be erased by them! Of course, they can’t violate the Asura Arena’s rules either. But they can utterly wipe you out within the permitted boundaries of the rules!” Nalan Chu said.
Regarding the rules, Nalan Chu said, Ye Yuan understood it. No matter which level Ye Yuan was at, they could arrange stronger opponents to deal with him, it was roughly like this.
“Heh heh, want to wipe me out, huh? Let them go ahead! Just hope that they don’t break off their front tooth!”
Ye Yuan did not wish to be anyone’s underling. He was him, a former peak Alchemy Emperor, a present genius youth!
Trifling 12 Exalts, what right to come and control him, Ye Yuan?
Seeing Ye Yuan’s attitude, Nalan Chu could not help saying with a bitter smile, “I knew it! No matter what, we jointly came out of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Furthermore, you’re the right and proper young lord! Whether professionally or privately, even if I die, I have to ensure your safety too!”
Ye Yuan was rather surprised when he heard that, but said with a smile, “You can’t even beat me, what do you have to protect my safety? Forget it, these things don’t need you to come and worry. At least at this third level, there isn’t anyone capable of harming me yet!”
Nalan Chu shook his head but did not know what he should say.
Actually, before finding Ye Yuan, he already mentally prepared himself. Other people, he dare not say, but Ye Yuan, he knew a little.
Want to make Ye Yuan bow and scrape as someone’s lackey, that was absolutely impossible.
“Huhu, Brother Ye, don’t talk about other things first. The 18 days top-tier cultivation chamber I promised you is already prepared. I know that Brother Ye should have just chosen a Slaughter Concept’s relevant martial technique. What you need most at this time should be closed-seclusion,” Nalan Chu said.
