The core of this set of array formation was at Kuai Liang's place. The most vulnerable link was here too!
Even though Ye Yuan had never seen before this array formation, his Formations Path attainments were exceptionally high.
Those fights previously, Ye Yuan was not lashing out blindly like a headless fly, but he as actually feeling out this array formation's method to crack it.
But sadly, how could Kuai Liang know. Not only was Ye Yuan's combat strength astonishing, but he was also even a Level Nine Formations Path expert!
Although this set of array formation was profound, as long as Ye Yuan worked hard to find the flaw, how could Kuai Liang conceal it?
He only practiced this set of array formation to the point he became proficient in it. But he did not understand the principle of the array formation after all.
Unless they could finish off Ye Yuan very quickly, otherwise, the final outcome could only be having the formation cracked by Ye Yuan, then routed each of them one by one.
Once Kuai Liang died, the entire array formation clearly became too weak to withstand a single blow.
Ye Yuan followed suit, killing these illusionary spirits one by one, and perfectly clearing the fifth level very quickly!
Qin Yan and the others were long already staring wide-eyed and their jaws slack!
What kind of situation was this?
Them attempting to challenge this level was by breaching the constraints of the array formation at all costs and rushing towards the next level's entrance.
But Ye Yuan?
Not only did he crack the array formation, he even killed all of the illusionary spirits!
One had to know that these illusionary spirits, each one of them in terms of strength alone was not beneath theirs!
Chapter 569 - Who's Bullying Who?
"Everyone, I'm making a move first," Ye Yuan greeted the Qin Yan trio and directly entered the sixth level.
Qin Yan and the others exchanged glances and already did not know what they should say.
At this time, the illusionary spirits that were already 'killed' by Ye Yuan emerged once more one by one.
"Do you guys still plan on challenging the round? Seems like . . . we don't have any hope at all!" Qin Yan said rather dispiritedly.
Guo Taoqun gritted his teeth and side, "Already came here. We can't retreat without fighting! I'll go first!"
As he said those words, Guo Taoqun entered inside the array formation with a leap.
. . . . . .
"Ye Yuan he really entered the sixth level! He has produced the best result in this one thousand years!"
"After entering the fourth level, his speed became fast instead! The fourth level only used 15 minutes to clear it. This fifth level is also merely just using the lesser part of a day's time. Truly inconceivable!"
"Wonder just where this fellow's limits lie! I don't know if he can clear the sixth level or not. If he can even make it past the sixth level, then he'll be the fifth martial artist who charges into the seventh level in this ten thousand years! Such monstrousness simply surpasses ancient and modern times!"
"This . . . isn't very likely, right? I heard that this sixth level's guardian's strength is even a cut above the challenger's own strength. Adding the supplementation of the array formation, it's simply impossible to make it through!"
"Who knows . . . Ignoring the differences in strength, just talking about what happened inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda, how many miracles has Ye Yuan created already?"
The other person did not reply.
Yeah. Just within this Vast Heaven Pagoda, how many turning points had Ye Yuan already created?
The first three levels cleared perfectly, obtaining three times the inheritance time of others.
Other people all got increasingly slower as they challenged the rounds. But after Ye Yuan entered the fourth level, his speed became faster instead. Consecutively clearing two levels actually only used half a day's time.
Who could ascertain that Ye Yuan definitely could not clear the sixth level?
Liu Hong stared at that gold-colored name blankly. The sense of defeat in his heart was incomparably intense.
He originally thought that he was the most talented youngster in this Endless World. Who knew that there were people beyond people. This Ye Yuan's talent flung him more than several streets behind!
What was laughable was that he still prided himself on being exceptional previously, and he even shrugged off that mysterious person's words.
Ye Yuan's performance in this Vast Heaven Pagoda was much more dazzling than his.
Forget about the third level, even in the first level, Liu Hong did not dare to remain behind to kill off all the demonic beasts!
And at this time, each step that Ye Yuan advanced trampled on his self-esteem once.
Soon . . . it was going to be crushed.
. . . . . .
At the sixth level, Kuai Liang was already waiting in full battle formation.
"Young man, what's your name called? This seat is called Kuai Liang. You just call me Elder Brother Kuai will do."
This was Kuai Liang's first time telling Ye Yuan his own name.
In this ten thousand years, he had just spoken to a scanty few people before.
But Ye Yuan was clearly the one that he spoke the most to.
"Junior Ye Yuan has seen Elder Brother Kuai!" Ye Yuan reported his family name.
Kuai Liang nodded and said, "Ye Yuan, you're very decent! This sixth level, it's already been a thousand years since anybody entered. Even if this ten thousand years, not many people could barge into the sixth level too. Furthermore, perfectly clearing these first five levels is just you alone!"
"Oh? But previously, someone made it to the eighth level, right? Could it be that he didn't clear perfectly?" Ye Yuan asked rather curiously.
That person called Li Fantian walked even further than Lu Linfeng. Logically speaking, he should be a world-shaking figure.
Such a genius should logically have the possibility of completing each level perfectly.
But it was only to see Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "He did indeed achieve Perfect Completion in the first four levels. But he fell short of success at the fifth level. Hence, your talent is still above his!"
Successfully clearing and perfectly clearing, the difficulty was not even on the same level. The fifth level's degree of difficulty was indeed not an ordinary kind of great.
If Ye Yuan did not comprehend a number of true intents, wanting to perfectly clear this round was likely not that easy as well.
Ye Yuan nodded his head, but he said with a forced smile, "But Elder Brother Kuai, isn't it somewhat high-handed for you guys to guard this level with the strength of Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm?"
Kuai Liang laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Your true combat power can't be measured using realms at all. The hurdles that the Vast Heaven Pagoda set up are used to test the martial artist's potential. You are able to clear the round perfectly at the fifth level and kill our First Level Soul Sea doppelgangers. The might of your combat strength is thus obvious. Furthermore, I have a feeling that you didn't go all out when you were at the fifth level!"
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Fine then. In a while, Elder Brother Kuai have to show leniency!"
"Heh heh, showing leniency can't be done! The stronger you are, the more we can't pull our punches! This time, we're going to unleash 100% of your concepts' strength!" Kuai Liang said with a laugh.
"Tsk tsk, how ruthless! Since Elder Brother Kuai regards me so highly, then I naturally also have to strive with all my might this time! But before this, can Elder Brother Kuai allow me to break through realm first?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.
Kuai Liang was startled. "Oh? You're going to break through again so quickly? Fine. What's the harm in letting you break through?"
Ye Yuan said with clasped hands, "Thank you very much, Elder Brother Kuai!"
Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense either, directl
y amassing immense heaven and earth essence energy, and started to break through to the Fifth Level Sea Transformation!
. . . . . .
Roughly two hours later, the storm ceased. Ye Yuan's aura rose by a level once more, and finally broke through to the Fifth Level Sea Transformation!
"Elder Brother Kuai, thanks for waiting!" Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.
Kuai Liang looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealed astonishment. "You, a puny little Sea Transformation Realm, actually have such impact when breaking through a minor boundary! If not for witnessing with my own eyes, I even thought that you were assaulting the Soul Sea Realm!"
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I've incurred Elder Brother Kuai's ridicule. The cultivation method that I cultivate in is rather special. The essence energy required is very massive. So the commotion when breaking through is a bit big."
It was more than just a bit big. It was very huge, alright?
Kuai Liang nodded and said, "You strength is so formidable; the cultivation method that you cultivate naturally can't be too lousy. Looks like your inheritance isn't simple. It probably isn't what this small world can have!"
Ye Yuan smiled. He knew that this could not hide from Kuai Liang's eyes either, and he could only change the topic. "Elder Brother Kuai, let's begin!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and was about to land inside the array formation.
At the same time, the essence fire within Ye Yuan's body erupted abruptly. During the process of him leaping, the aura in his body erupted once more, and his boundary soared up mightily.
By the time he landed inside the array formation, he already directly broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation!
Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!
Following Ye Yuan's boundary slowly advancing, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was already unable to sustain him breaking through three minor boundaries. Even breaking through to late-stage Sea Transformation this time was quite forceful.
Fortunately, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was very powerful among Tier 4 essence fires. Only then, did it f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y support his breakthrough.
When Kuai Liang saw this scene, his eyes became wide-saucers, "Fine lad. To actually still have this card up your sleeves! This martial technique is remarkably powerful! To actually directly aid you to break through to the late-stage Sea Transformation! I originally thought that I could bully you properly this time. Now, why do I feel like it's still you bullying me?"
Chapter 570 - Two Great Concepts of Fire
"Haha! Elder Brother Kuai, I'm coming!" Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.
"Bring it on!"
Facing Ye Yuan bearing down menacingly, Kuai Liang awaited in full battle array.
Presently, Ye Yuan broke through to the late-stage Sea Transformation Realm. His strength soared fiercely once more!
Flame Movement Carnage was brandished; it was on a completely different level than before.
Kuai Liang these people used all of their power. Their concepts were clearly all true intent level and above.
But Ye Yuan's Scorching True Intent overwhelmingly crushed them!
Flame Movement Carnage was just created, and its power was already not worse off compared to the Nine Swords Stance and Thousand Flowing Petals, these martial techniques. It could be imagined how formidable the might of Scorching True Intent was!
Even in terms of instantaneous explosive power, Flame Movement Carnage was even stronger than the move Ye Yuan created using supreme true intent.
What was even deadlier was that Ye Yuan's control over essence energy was very precise. One should not look at how each punch of his seemed to use all the strength in his body, it actually did not expend much essence energy.
With his present essence energy density, even if he fought non-stop for a day and a night, he would not exhaust all the essence energy within his body at all.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations could sustain for such a long time.
For a time, the situation inside the array formation was actually the same as in the fifth level; Kuai Liang's side was completely suppressed by Ye Yuan.
"Heh heh, Elder Brother Kuai, this array formation of yours is already useless against me. If you don't wish to lose, quickly think of a way," Ye Yuan said to Kuai Liang as he punched out.
Kuai Liang was also someone who was a veteran of a hundred battles. Looking at Ye Yuan's performance in the fifth level, he knew that the array formation was already useless.
Rumble!
After a violent collision, Kuai Liang and Ye Yuan both separated.
"Ye Yuan, you're indeed formidable! This array formation, we brothers practiced for a very long time before slowly understanding it well. You merely entered the array for half a day and actually already have a thorough understanding of the array formation!" Kuai Liang said with an emotional sigh.
Ye Yuan's monstrousness totally exceeded his expectations. This boy seemed to have limitless means.
He had already guarded this pass here for God knows how many years and had yet to be suppressed to this extent by a junior.
Although he admired Ye Yuan's talent, Kuai Liang still felt very aggrieved.
He was a powerhouse that controlled a region while he was still alive. Even if he became an illusionary spirit guarding this pass now, his pride still remained.
Being beaten by Ye Yuan for three consecutive rounds like this, it brought out his temper!
"However . . . we brothers are not easy to bully! What I want to tell you is that not using array formations can instead increase our combat strength even more! Brothers, go full power!"
Kuai Liang roared.
Each and every one of those illusionary spirits was like injected with stimulants, instantly erupting with a powerful aura!
Even though their boundaries were still Fourth Level Soul Sea, Ye Yuan suddenly felt that these illusionary spirits became somewhat different!
As if all of a sudden, these illusionary spirits became gods of war one by one, giving people a feeling of peerlessness.
"Hahaha! How many years has it been since this feeling of hot blood boiling! Thank you, Ye Yuan! If it wasn't for you, we'd probably all remain as emotionless walking corpses!" Kuai Liang said with a loud laugh.
The Kuai Liang at this time was akin to a god of war; his eyes radiating a brilliant light as if two different persons from that previous lifelessness.
Seeing Kuai Liang brimming with fighting spirit, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Looks like these few years, Elder Brother Kuai was shackled by the rules and became overly cautious and didn't dare to act boldly! Since that's the case, I'll consult Elder Brother Kuai's true strength then!"
"Good! Ye Yuan, I'll put forth my best effort to defeat you! This round isn't that easy to clear! Go!"
Under Kuai Liang's command, those 30 over illusionary spirits rushed towards Ye Yuan without any pattern at all. It was entirely different from that strict order previously.
But Ye Yuan's face became solemn. These people became completely different!
However, Ye Yuan naturally would not show weakness either. His figure moved, and he charged towards those illusionary spirits.
With his current late-stage Sea Transformation strength used in conjunction with the Scorching True Intent and Concept of Wind flow, it was not too difficult to contend with Fourth Level Soul Seas.
In an instant, Ye Yuan fell into these 30 over people's encirclement.
Different from landing in the array formation prior to this, these illusionary spirits' attacks were without any order to speak of. It was completely each fighting their own battles.
But not knowing why, these people's combat power suddenly soared by a level!
Furthermore, even though they were each fighting separate battle, the cooperation between each other was extremely well-coordinated.
Frequently, as Ye Yuan's fist was just thinking of hitting towards a person, he would suffer the pincer attacks of
multiple people at the same time. Helpless, Ye Yuan could only give up the attack and switch to defense.
The teamwork between these people was absolutely not as simple as one plus one equals two!
Although there was no array formation's augmentation, the pressure that Ye Yuan felt was much stronger than when they formed an array formation.
Ye Yuan crisscrossed among the illusionary spirits and displayed the Wind Flow True Intent to the limits. There was actually a feeling of beyond one's power!
This made Ye Yuan very baffled.
Just what in the world happened to these people?
"Haha! Back then, we were all a mercenary team. Every fight was all acting in concert together. For close to a thousand years, we ourselves can't remember clearly how many times we've fought together either! This sort of fighting instinct has long been assimilated into your blood already! Without the constraints of array formations, the teamwork between us will become even closer instead! Ye Yuan, if you can defeat us under this condition, you'll have the qualifications to accept the challenge of the final three levels!" Kuai Liang said loudly.
Ye Yuan was enlightened in his heart when he heard that!
No wonder he had a feeling of being unable to carry out every time he attacked. Turns out that these people had long taken team fights as their own instincts.
The incomparable trust between each other. Even communicating with their eyes was not needed; it was simply accomplishing things with a thought!
Fighting instinctively like this was undoubtedly extremely formidable.
"So that's how it is! Elder Brother and everyone else are indeed very strong. Your trust between each other also makes Ye Yuan visibly moved. However . . . this seventh level, I must go!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan's aura likewise erupted abruptly, soaring tremendously once more!
"Essence Energy Ignition! Flame Movement Carnage!"
Ye Yuan gave a roar. The essence energy within his body instantly ignited!
Instantaneously, Ye Yuan's fist exploded with a dazzling red light. An appalling aura forced those illusionary spirits back!
