The flower petals which blotted out the skies and covered the earth gave people a hair-raising oppressive feeling instead.
"Oh my God. Is this really a martial technique unleashed by a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm? It's too preposterous, right?"
"The quantity of these flower petals is probably several times of that move previously! He finished off over a dozen Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realms in one move just now. How horrifying will the power of this move be?"
"This move is too heaven-defying! I really can't imagine how a Seventh level Crystal Formation Realm can manipulate so much heaven and earth essence energy! How exquisite does one's manipulation ability have to be?!"
Indeed, Ye Yuan's control over essence energy had already completely surpassed their imaginations.
In terms of control of essence energy, Ye Yuan was Divine King level!
And his abilities in this area were completely attributed to alchemy skills.
In his previous life, Ye Yuan was extremely meticulous in refining pills, and his requirement towards control of essence energy was harsh to the extreme. Only then did he have such exquisite control abilities.
In the past, Ye Yuan was a housewife who could not cook a meal without rice. Now that his strength increased dramatically and his essence energy was ample, he could unleash this aspect to its pinnacle!
Controlling heaven and earth essence energy was not having it at one's beck and call, but to control the heaven and earth essence energy within a certain radius with the essence energy within the martial artist's own body as the foundation.
Now that Ye Yuan broke through five realms in succession, the essence energy in his body showed an exponential increase. The essence energy that he could control naturally also increased exponentially.
Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe were still brimming with confidence earlier. But currently, their faces had a never before seen grimness.
Such power was simply appalling!
The pair exchanged glances, and understood each other without words!
"Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade, Advancing With Indomitable Will!" Huang Wenqiu roared, charging at Ye Yuan with a lightning-like momentum.
"Starfire Ablazing Prairie!" Xue Zaihe lightly flicked his finger. A small tuft of flames flew out swiftly, vanishing in a blink of an eye!
The two people bore down menacingly. Ye Yuan mind stirred. Two clumps of flower petals blocked their incoming path.
"Thousand Flowing Petals, explode!"
Faint explosion sounds echoed in the air, wanting to stop the two people's incoming path.
However, the Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade and Origin Spirit Nine Transformations were not some common wares.
Only to see Huang Wenqiu pressing forward like a hot knife cutting through butter the entire way, splitting the clumps of flower petals!
While Xue Zaihe formed a no-mans-land for himself with formidable strength.
At the same time, the small tuft of flames that he controlled suddenly appeared by Ye Yuan's side!
Yet, it did not have the Starfire Ablazing Prairie's momentum as imagined. Because the instant that it appeared, there were already innumerable flower petals enveloping it.
Inside that bundle of flames contained horrifying power. However, it was wrapped up by limitless flower petals.
The petals exploded unceasingly, frittering away that mass of flames' power.
While on Huang Wenqiu's side, only to see him split the sea of petals into two halves with one blade!
A horrifying streak of saberlight passed through the flower petals sea, cleaving towards Ye Yuan!
But Ye Yuan unhurriedly controlled the boundless petals to continuously explode around the surroundings of the saberlight.
By the time the saberlight arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it was already just an ordinary attack.
Ye Yuan casually flicked with his hand. The saberlight dissipated.
Huang Wenqiu's expression changed drastically. This was his Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade's strongest attack. This streak of saberlight was enough to freaking cleave ordinary Late-Stage Sea Transformation Realms into two halves! It was actually effortlessly resolved by Ye Yuan just like this!
Huang Wenqiu gritted his teeth, mustered up all the momentum of his saber, and slashed towards Ye Yuan once again!
However, there were petals exploding non-stop around him, hindering his advancement. There were too many flower petals. Clumps after clumps exploded ceaselessly, seemingly without end.
Ye Yuan was clearly not far away. But Huang Wenqiu felt that this bit of distance was a short distance away, but poles apart.
Just like this, his speed became increasingly slower.
This Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade move stressed about accomplishing in one vigorous effort.
But this one vigorous effort was forcefully worn down by Ye Yuan.
Depleted by the second and exhausted by the third.
Without that momentum of pressing forward with indomitable will, even if the saber technique was stronger, it would not be much stronger.
The saber momentum that Huang Wenqiu acc.u.mulated for a long time dissipated to nothing like this.
The saber momentum exhausted, Huang Wenqiu was instantaneously enveloped by infinite flower petals, going from offense to defense!
While on this side, Xue Zaihe already sunk into the boundless flower sea.
Although the flower petals were unable to break through his defense for the time being with him relying on his powerful Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivation, he could not do anything to those flower petals either.
Just eradicated one batch, and there would immediately be a vast quantity of flower petals replenishing over.
This sort of fighting method really made people have an impulse to vomit blood.
And that bundle of flames that he fired out was already like a candle flame in the wind currently; tottering on the edge of extinguishing.
Seeing the great battle on the platform, everyone below the stage all held their breaths.
They had never seen before that martial artists could still fight like this!
"Young Master Ji's martial technique is simply unheard of! These flower petals look very weak. So many countless flower petals together give people a feeling of being unmatched!"
"Yeah! Moreover, Young Master Ji's attention is divided into three; he's controlling those flower petals to deal with the two people and a bundle of flames. This feeling of releasing and withdrawing it as he pleases really makes people revere!"
"No matter how powerful the attack, going through those countless petals' self-detonation and erosion, it would rapidly become weak and feeble. This kind of feeling is like falling into a quagmire."
The flower petals in the sky became increasingly sparse. Just as the petals were about to dissipate to nothing, Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe finally could not hold out anymore, and the flower petals breached their defenses!
"Ahh!"
"Argh!"
Two miserable cries sounded out on the platform at the same time, making people's hearts tightened when heard.
"The two mighty number two experts were defeated like this?" The audience below the stage still did not dare quite believe this until now.
How many years had it been since anyone from the capital's junior generation dared to challenge Xuang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe?
Apart from Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan, these two people could virtually be said to be invincible existences!
But today, under their teaming up, they actually lost in the hands of a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.
The impact this conclusion gave people was seriously too great!
Even if Ye Yuan killed so many Sea Transformation Realm martial artists previously, the impact it brought was also not as great as now!
Ye Yuan stood at a corner of the platform dressed in white. Clearly quite young, yet gave people a feeling of insurmountable!
The
current Ye Yuan was akin to a heavenly deity descending upon the world; invincible!
The shock that Ye Yuan gave everyone today could no longer be described using words.
Crossing ranks to battle was every genius's inherent skill.
But crossing ranks to battle like Ye Yuan, the people completely could not imagine it!
One had to know that Ye Yuan's opponents could virtually be said to represent the highest standards of the entire Fierce Gale World's junior generation!
Such a victory was too soul-stirring.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly turned around to look at Zhao Chenggan, saying nonchalantly, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, want to come down and play?"
Chapter 426 - Shangguan Lingyun’s Anticipation
When Ye Yuan's voice fell, everyone's hearts plunged!
"I'm a little hard of hearing. What did Ji Qing say just now?"
"He . . . He wants to challenge His Highness, the Seventh Prince! I-I didn't hear it wrongly, right?"
"I really don't know how to use words to describe my current emotion. In this world, apart from Shangguan Lingyun, there's actually somebody who dares to challenge His Highness, the Seventh Prince!"
"Yeah! Seventh Prince is a genius martial artist who comprehended true intent; on a completely different level from Huang Wenqiu and the rest! Ji Qing . . . actually dares to challenge even him!"
"Why do I feel like something is not quite right? Isn't this a spouse finding martial competition? Why did it suddenly become a martial arts tournament? The matter of His Highness, the Seventh Prince, courting Shangguan Lingxue is publicly known. As long as Ye Yuan doesn't provoke him, it's impossible for him to come down!"
Ye Yuan's words instantly ignited the entire plaza!
Challenging the capital's number one, the candidate for wind emperor, how formidable the strength and how much courage did this need?!
"Heh, you're sure that you want to challenge this prince?" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold snicker.
Towards Ye Yuan's courting death action, Zhao Chenggan was naturally very welcoming.
He had long wanted to eliminate Ye Yuan. Now, with this open and above-board chance to kill Ye Yuan, he obviously did not wish to let it slip by.
Even with Ye Yuan using a powerful move such as the Thousand Flowing Petals previously, Zhao Chenggan still had full confidence in eliminating Ye Yuan!
"Little Junior Brother, don't be reckless! I know that your strength improved greatly. But Zhao Chenggan's strength is absolutely not as simple as you imagine!" Shi Haoran's brows knitted and he transmitted his voice.
Xiao Ruyan was so anxious that she almost wanted to jump down. She hurriedly transmitted her voice, "Young Master Ji, the pair's strength earlier is much weaker compared to Zhao Chenggan. You . . . You better not provoke him!"
But Ye Yuan smiled lightly and did not say any more. However, his meaning was understood by all.
He was not joking but really wanted to challenge Seventh Prince!
Zhao Chenggan sneered and said, "You aren't thinking that you have the qualifications to challenge me after winning the two of them, right? Since you're seeking death, then I'll help you!"
Finished talking, Zhao Chenggan floated down.
Arriving on top of the platform, Zhao Chenggan's long spear jerked and was full of overbearingness from start to end.
"Haha, a vanquished opponent actually has the guts to challenge this Prince! This Prince admires your foolishness greatly! It's just that even I kill you today, I won't marry Xiao Ruyan either. Don't you worry."
Once he stood on the stage, Zhao Chenggan's tyrannical aura could not be concealed anymore.
Especially with that long spear in his hands, it raised his aura to the peak even more so.
Every action carried a breath-taking power!
The number one expert among the younger generation lived up to his reputation.
Hearing Zhao Chenggan's words, Xiao Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief. But she was also secretly worried for Ye Yuan.
Zhao Chenggan already had not exhibited his strength in front of people for a long time. Most likely, even Shangguan Lingyun wasn't sure of his current strength.
But nobody doubted Zhao Chenggan's present strength!
"I will seek vengeance if there is a grudge. I entered a retreat for a month and broke through five realms consecutively. This was all for you. Hence, you should feel honored!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Last time, Zhao Chenggan not only nearly killed Ye Yuan, he even almost killed White Light too.
This grudge was not what an apology could skate over.
If Zhao Chenggan sincerely apologized, then forget it. But the entire capital all knew that Zhao Chenggan was only forced by the circ.u.mstances.
If not for Star Abyss exerting pressure on the Wind Emperor, it was entirely impossible for him to come to apologize.
Ye Yuan was about to leave the Fierce Gale World soon. With Ye Yuan's personality of not leaving revenge through the night, how could he possibly wait until the future?
Therefore, today, this fight was unavoidable!
"Hahaha! So what if you consecutively broke through five realms? You're not thinking that only you can break through, right? The reason why this Prince was only at the Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm was not because this Prince couldn't break through, but it was because this Prince was deliberately suppressing my realm! Hence . . . open your eyes!" Zhao Chenggan laughed wildly.
All of a sudden, Zhao Chenggan's long spear shook. An absolutely powerful aura undulated out!
On the platform, an essence energy tempest actually formed!
"This . . . His Highness, the Seventh Prince, is actually breaking through! He's going to break through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm! If he breaks through successfully, then Ji Qing won't have any hope at all!"
"What's Ji Qing doing? Isn't he going to go forward to interrupt Seventh Prince's breakthrough? Watching him break through passively?"
"Sigh . . . It's useless. Since Seventh Prince dares to break through in front of him, he naturally isn't afraid of him interrupting! This is a powerhouse's absolute self-confidence! Furthermore, in that battle prior to this, Ji Qing's essence energy is also pretty much depleted, right?"
"But speaking of which, Seventh Prince actually broke through his bottleneck for Ye Yuan. This in itself should be an affirmation and placing importance on Ji Qing, right?"
For a time, storms raged on the platform. Zhao Chenggan's aura was in the midst of continuously rising!
For geniuses like Zhao Chenggan, what was most important for them was not realm breakthrough, but it was comprehending concepts.
When a martial artist was young, it was the most optimal time to comprehend concepts. Once their potential was exhausted, wanting to comprehend concepts again would be as hard as scaling to heaven.
At that time, it also signified where the limits of a martial artist lay.
Therefore, pinnacle geniuses never took breaking through realms to be of importance. Most of their time was used for comprehending concepts.
Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingyun, these people all did not deliberately cultivate essence energy but reached Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm at this age. It could be seen how great their talent was!
Ye Yuan naturally also placed priority on comprehending concepts. Hence, his essence energy realm was not high all along.
If he went all out to break through, he would be able to break through to the Soul Sea Realm in less than half a year.
To an Alchemy Emperor, using medicinal pills to pile on realms was seriously too easy.
Zhao Chenggan did not meditate to absorb essence energy. He just held his spear and stood there, but his aura was still in the midst of rising non-stop.
Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm to Seventh Level was not a small threshold. But in front of Zhao Chenggan, it was dismissed so easily.
This was the number one person of the capital's junior ge
neration!
Shangguan Lingxue's face did not have any visible change in countenance. She looked at Shangguan Lingyun and said with a smile, "Big Brother seems to be regretting a little!"
Shangguan Lingyun said with a regretful face, "Yeah. I thought of a really good idea just now to go down and fight with Ji Qing. But he actually challenged His Highness, the Seventh Prince. It makes me feel really dejected."
Shangguan Lingxue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What idea?"
"Hur hur, I just have to go down and defeat him, then fake defeat."
"To think that you can think of that! But Ji Qing is already an arrow at the end of its flight, while His Highness is like the midday sun. Is there still anything worth competing in this match?"
"You think this way? Too shallow! How can a shockingly brilliant character like Ji Qing challenge Seventh Prince under the circ.u.mstances where he doesn't have room for maneuver?"
"En? Could it be . . . that move earlier was still not his limit? But his essence energy has already reached its limits as well! Furthermore, His Highness even broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm. I seriously can't think of how he should respond."
"Heh heh, I'm also very much looking forward to it!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a laugh.
Chapter 427 - How Unfortunate; I Know It Too
Zhao Chenggan's breakthrough did not last for too long. Very soon, the essence energy tempest dissipated. But Zhao Chenggan's aura soared tremendously, stopping firmly at the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm!
He looked at Ye Yuan with a cold smile and said, "Now, do you feel regret for your foolishness? But it's already too late. Provoking this prince is your greatest sorrow in this lifetime!"
Crossing ranks to battle were as simple as eating and drinking to Zhao Chenggan. Ordinary late-stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists completely did not have the strength to retaliate in front of him.
Even peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, Zhao Chenggan could easily kill too.
And today, this was his first time being crossed ranks to battle by somebody.
Moreover, it was not one or two minor realms, but a full major realm!
