Those fiend shadows all cried out miserably endlessly. They clearly did not expect that Netherkill was actually powerful to such an extent.
“Run! Quickly flee! This guy is too strong! In our current states, we’re not a match at all!”
No idea who yelled out either. The group of fiend emperors turned around and wanted to flee outside.
Netherkill gave a cold laugh and said coolly, “Escape? How can it be that easy!”
Done talking, Netherkill unleashed another Extreme Dao Sword Kill!
This time, the killing intent was even greater than before!
At the same time, a surge of bizarre force suddenly descended. All of the fiend emperors’ figures all stagnated for that split second.
Just this split-second claimed their lives!
“ARGHHH!”
A series of tragic cries sounded over. It was just that those screams became softer and softer, and were finally gone.
The group of fiend emperor powerhouses who had once commanded the ancient era was actually jointly slain by Netherkill and Ye Yuan just like this!
Of course, if they were at their prime, forget about killing them, it was already pretty good for Netherkill to be able to escape.
But they were suppressed for as long as 100 thousand years and were long arrows at the end of their flight.
Netherkill slew a horde of fiend emperors but had no joy nor sorrow. His gaze swept towards Ye Yuan.
Chapter 924 - Sikong Shang!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ye Yuan, show your trump card! I want to see if you’re making an empty show of strength, or if you really have the ability to challenge this Seat!” Netherkill’s gaze stared at Ye Yuan with a glint.
Along the way, the reason why Netherkill exercised forbearance in every possible way was naturally that he could not figure out Ye Yuan’s ace-in-the-hole.
Now that he absorbed a large quantity of Slaughter Concept, his strength soared by a large margin. When facing Ye Yuan again, his confidence was also much greater.
Ye Yuan also looked at Netherkill. A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth as he said coolly, “Should I call you Netherkill, or should I call you Sikong Shang?”
The moment these words came out, the remaining three Exalts all had bewildered looks, but Exalt Netherkill’s breath clearly stifled.
“The three of you, leave for the time being!” Netherkill said calmly.
Exalt Coldblood and Exalt Heavenly Hedonist froze, but they still respectfully gave a bow towards Netherkill, saying, “Yes!”
Si Yin had already viewed Ye Yuan as her lifesaver at this time. She was naturally unwilling to let him stay in such a dangerous place.
“Ye Yuan …”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “No worries. I think that Exalt Netherkill won’t make things difficult for me, a junior, right?”
Si Yin was still worried. But Ye Yuan already said it like this, she could not very well say anymore either. She could only leave this space too.
After the three people left, Netherkill’s cold voice transmitted over, “Who are you?!”
This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. He clearly only had a strength that did not reach Phaseless Realm, but even he, this Exalt, could not see through him.
In these 30 thousand years, who knows how many martial artists had stepped into the Asura Arena. But there had never been anyone who was able to escape the Absolute Kill Token’s control.
But Ye Yuan did it!
Not only did Ye Yuan accomplish it himself, but he could also actually even help Si Yin remove the control. Such means was simply inconceivable.
Netherkill was all too clear regarding the Absolute Kill Token. Once it was planted inside the martial artist’s divine soul, it would become one with the divine soul, unable to be separated at all.
He was seriously unable to imagine how Ye Yuan did it.
Ye Yuan looked at Netherkill and said with a smile, “Who am I isn’t important. What’s important is that this Chaotic Devil Sea is indeed being controlled by the Darkness Divine King! It’s just that I’m very curious, just what kind of existence the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, is!”
Darkness Divine King, he is the most mysterious one among the Ten Great Divine Kings!
In the entire Divine Realm, extremely few people had seen the Darkness Divine King before. If not for the Heaven’s Secret Tower announcing the Ten Great Divine Kings, probably only a handful of people in the world would know that there was still such an existence.
Regarding where the Darkness Divine King was located, there were many varying opinions too.
But among the Divine Realm’s upper echelons, the most popular guess was that the Darkness Divine King was the Chaotic Devil Sea’s hegemon!
Regarding Sikong Shang this name, Ye Yuan had heard it from his father, Ji Zhengyang.
There was barely anyone who knew this name in the entire Divine Realm.
Netherkill mused and only said after quite some time, “I’m not the Darkness Divine King!”
Ye Yuan said smilingly, “Of course I know that you’re not the Darkness Divine King in person. If the Darkness Divine King only had your strength, the Chaotic Devil Sea would have long been eradicated by people! How could the Chaotic Devil Sea be able to stand erect for as long as 30 thousand years in the Divine Realm? If I didn’t guess wrongly, you’re just one of Sikong Shang’s clone, managing the Asura Arena on his behalf and collecting Slaughter Concept, that’s all. What I’m curious about is that for 30 thousand years, was the Darkness Divine King Sikong Shang alone, or the name had been passed down for quite a number of generations?”
Divine King Realm powerhouses, their longevity was from 10 thousand years to 15 thousand years. Logically speaking, it was impossible for one generation of Darkness Divine King to live for 30 thousand years.
But the Chaotic Devil Sea had stood erect for 30 thousand years. During the period, people who had ideas about the Chaotic Devil Sea was probably not in the minority.
If every generation of Darkness Divine King all had Ten Great Divine Kings’ strength, that was too terrifying.
Such a legacy was too frightening!
Netherkill mused once more and only said after quite a while again, “No comments! Just what objectives do you have for entering the Chaotic Devil Sea?!”
Very clearly, the things that Ye Yuan knew was much more than he imagined. Rather than denying it outright in front of Ye Yuan, better to remain tight-lipped.
Although Netherkill’s voice was calm, the shock in his heart could not be any greater.
The Chaotic Devil Sea had always been famous for being mysterious. Only the Divine Realm’s apex existences would know the tip of the iceberg of the Chaotic Devil Sea.
But Ye Yuan was clearly just a roughly 20 year old youth. How did he know these secrets?!
What made him even more shocked was that Ye Yuan actually said his name readily!
Therefore, he must make clear Ye Yuan’s intentions for coming!
But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “I only came for the Skandha Divine Stone. Now, the Skandha Divine Stone has already come into my possession, I won’t stay anymore either. We’ll meet again another day!”
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and was actually going to turn around and leave.
“Humph! It’s also not out of the question if you want to leave, but you have to first prove whether you have the qualifications to leave or not!” Netherkill said at the back coldly.
Ye Yuan turned around and said helplessly, “Everybody each mind their own business. The Chaotic Devil Sea’s secret, I’ll keep my mouth tight as a jar. Why do you have to force me to make a move?”
It was not that Ye Yuan was conceited, but because Netherkill’s strength was too formidable. Once he made a move, he must flash his trumps cards.
Ye Yuan’s trump cards were too outrageous. Unless there were no other alternatives, he did not wish to take them out.
But looking at it now, Netherkill did not have the intention of letting him off.
“Humph! Only dead men will keep their mouths tight as a jar!”
Netherkill gave a cold snort. Extreme Dao Sword Kill was displayed once more! The might of Dao Profound Realm was what the present Ye Yuan could not withstand at all.
The violent, murderous air was virtually materializing, locking onto Ye Yuan firmly, not giving him the slightest bit of opportunity at all.
The reason why the Slaughter Sword Art claimed to be able to cultivate to rival the boundary of the Ten Great Divine Kings, because what one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, the Darkness Divine King used, was this martial technique!
Therefore, the power of this sword move could be imagined!
Under this sword, forget about a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist like Ye Yuan, even middle-stage Dao Profound Realm martial artists had absolutely no chance of survival too!
But right at this moment, a huge pagoda suddenly appeared between the two people!
Boom!
A loud noise transmitted over. The unparalleled Extreme Dao Sword Kill cleaved directly on the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The Vast Heaven Pagoda actually did not budge an inch!
“Divine artifact! No, wait, it’s a quasi-divine artifact! However, it’s only half a step away from divine artifact!” Netherkill said in fright.
Netherkill’s eyes were excellent. He discerned the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s grade with just one glance.
Although it was not a real divine artifact, the title of a quasi-divine artifact was already sufficiently shocking.
Because in the present Divine Realm, nobody could refine quasi-divine artifacts at all!
Over 100 thousand years ago, after Divine Dao dwindled to zero, only Fang Tian, this level of genius without peer in his generation, was able to refine the Vast Heaven Pagoda, such a quasi-divine artifact.
Of course, the reason why the Vast Heaven Pagoda could succeed in refining was more importantly still because of the Vast Heaven Stele.
If it was Ye Yuan controlling the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he naturally could not block Netherkill’s staggering blow. But if Long Teng was controlling, the situation was completely different.
Long Teng obtained Long Zhan’s final soul force, plus the help of the Skandha Divine Stone, he already recovered 60-70% strength.
This kind of strength, using it to block Netherkill’s attack was more than sufficient.
Ye Yuan’s confidence lay here!
“You see, I already said don’t fight, but you insist on fighting! Unless Sikong Shang comes in person, otherwise, you can’t make me stay!” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Chapter 925 - Unexpected Chance Encounter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the shock, Netherkill’s heart was filled with indescribable greed!
Facing a treasure like the Vast Heaven Pagoda, nobody would be unmoved.
Even among the Ten Great Divine Kings, the weapons in their possession were at most transcendent-grade holy artifacts too. Quasi-divine artifact had never appeared before in these 100 thousand years.
Now that a quasi-divine artifact actually appeared, Netherkill’s feelings of excitement could be imagined.
“No wonder you had such confidence. Turns out that you actually have a quasi-divine artifact as your trump card! Except … a quasi-divine artifact being placed in your hands is too much of a wanton waste of God’s good gifts!”
The moment these words of Netherkill’s were said out loud, his entire person suddenly vanished. Boundless slaughter concept enveloped Ye Yuan inside.
This was also one of the reasons why Ye Yuan was not willing to attack. The appearance of a quasi-divine artifact was too conspicuous. It was bound to stir up a sensation.
When Netherkill saw the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he did not beat a retreat in the face of difficulties. Instead, it gave rise to feelings of greed, wanting to make it his own.
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and directly entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
With Long Teng controlling it, he was not worried that Netherkill could do anything to him.
Rumble …
Violent attacks smashed onto the Vast Heaven Pagoda without any blind angles. Yet, under the divine might of a quasi-divine artifact, Netherkill’s attacks were clearly somewhat falling short of his desires.
Netherkill unleashed all of his skills but was completely unable to breach the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s defense.
Although Netherkill absorbed a large amount of Slaughter Concept, the Vast Heaven Pagoda virtually had strength rivaling a Divine King under Long Teng’s control. For Netherkill to want to breach it’s defense was a totally impossible thing.
“Netherkill, try peaceful means first before resorting to force! Looks like, you’re rejecting face when it’s given!”
Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan snorted coldly.
All of a sudden, the Vast Heaven Pagoda radiated with a brilliant splendor. The pagoda body expanded rapidly all at once, akin to a large mountain, crushing down on Netherkill.
A lofty mountain blotted out the sky and covered the sun!
When Netherkill saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically, wanting to shake off the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s suppression!
However, the might of the Vast Heaven Pagoda was not so easy to cast off.
He used all of the strength in his body before barely managing to shake off the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s suppression. Even so, the tremendous impact force still made him suffer heavy injuries!
“Truly asking for trouble! I already said you can’t make me stay! Now, you and I each hold a secret of the other party. Count it as evening up the scores. Like this, can I go now?” Ye Yuan revealed his figure and said coolly.
Crack!
Under this suppression, Netherkill’s mask actually fragmented from it, becoming two halves and falling off.
“En?”
An elegant and handsome face in front of Ye Yuan. This face was actually somewhat familiar.
But Ye Yuan who saw Netherkill’s true appearance, his brows knitted together.
“Want to go? How can it be that easy? The original body already knows the news of you possessing a quasi-divine artifact. I’m afraid it’s already impossible for you to want to escape out of this Heavenly Slaughter Pit!” Netherkill said calmly.
Regarding these words, it was as if Ye Yuan did not hear it at all. His attention was placed fully on that face.
Very few things could make Ye Yuan so shocked. However, this face really made Ye Yuan astonished!
He looked at Netherkill. His expression turned complicated to the extreme.
Ye Yuan’s face revealed a bitter smile. Shaking his head, he said with a sigh, “Really didn’t expect it! Really didn’t expect! This dogfart heaven really likes to play jokes on people!”
When Netherkill saw Ye Yuan’s appearance, he could not help having a bewildered look.
“Leave behind the quasi-divine artifact, and then maybe … the original body will give you a slim chance of survival!” Netherkill warned.
Ye Yuan looked at this face of Netherkill’s and said despondently, “Looks like you already don’t have a shred of your own consciousness already! Yeah, you already became a clone of Sikong Shang, how can you possibly have your own consciousness?”
Netherkill said in confusion, “What on earth are you talking about? Do you think that the original body will let you off like this?”
Ye Yuan did not speak. Raising his hand, it was an extremely orthodox Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!
When Netherkill saw this scene, he said scornfully, “A martial technique unleashed using true intent. Are you insulting me?”
Netherkill casually waved a hand and instantly turned Ye Yuan’s attack into nothing.
Ye Yuan did not show a surprised expression. Instead, he sighed and said, “Looks like you really don’t have any memories at all! You Wuya, oh, You
Wuya, to think that you were a genius in your lifetime too. I didn’t expect that you were reduced to such an end! Sikong Shang, looks like our grudge is considered sowed!”
Talking towards the back, Ye Yuan actually revealed killing intent!
That’s right, this Exalt Netherkill in front of him was none other than precisely the founder of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, You Wuya!
Ye Yuan was also curious back then. Such a figure with boundless talent, why was his reputation non-existent after reaching the Divine Realm?
He never would have thought that You Wuya actually fell in the Asura Arena, and became a clone of the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang!
There were really no stories without coincidences. Ye Yuan never would have thought that after You Wuya ascended, he actually came to the Asura Arena and became an Exalt here.
Back then, the Tranquil Cloud Sect had the statue of Founding Ancestor You Wuya. He was completely identical with this Exalt Netherkill in front of him.
Except, although the face was the same, the person was already not the same person.
Even though Ye Yuan had not met You Wuya before, it was still thanks to You Wuya that he was able to comprehend a supreme true intent. Between the two people, there could be said to be the reality of master-apprentice.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan had very deep feelings towards the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Now that You Wuya was actually refined into a puppet by someone, the fury in his heart could be imagined.
Although it was a common occurrence for geniuses to perish, when You Wuya reached the Divine Realm, he was merely one of the most ordinary members. But this sort of thing happened to him. He could not accept it, no matter what.
“You’re not making any sense!” Netherkill said with a bemused look.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a sigh, “End it like this today! But you tell Sikong Shang, there will come a day when I’ll come and find him to settle this score!”
Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around and wanted to walk outside.
The present Ye Yuan’s strength was too weak!
Although Ye Yuan could suppress Netherkill with the Vast Heaven Pagoda, if facing the Darkness Divine King’s main body, he did not have a glimmer of probability for success.
