With this, everyone was depressed.
"What kind of lousy Earth Carnage Proclamation! Heaven's Secret Tower that bunch of fools, they are messing with us here, right? Someone as powerful as Ye Yuan actually can't even get on the Earth Carnage Proclamation?" That martial artist threw the Earth Carnage Proclamation onto the ground and said disdainfully.
They all saw Ye Yuan's strength with their own eyes. If even Ye Yuan could not get on the Earth Carnage Proclamation, then wasn't these rankings on the Earth Carnage Proclamation sheer nonsense?
"Forget it! Everyone says that Heaven's Secret Tower is omniscient. I think it's also just like that! Forget it, forget it, better take a look at the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! If there are no accidents, the Heaven Carnage Proclamation this time should still be Dou Jue, right? I just wonder if any of those few that came out from the third level entered the Earth Carnage Proclamation this time or not."
The moment these words came out, a bunch of people immediately became excited too, and took out the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and started looking.
"500th place, Zhen Hong. 499th place, Guo Xun. 498th place, Liu Ye. Heh heh, these few lords indeed got on the proclamation after half a year's time of acc.u.mulation! En? 4 … 495th place, Y-Ye Yuan! N-No way, right?"
"Haha, are you teasing me? Ye Yuan is just Heaven Enlightenment Realm, how can he possibly get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation? If you're lying to Your Father, you should also use some brains, alright?" Another person said with a laugh.
"W-Who's joking with you? If you don't believe, see for yourself!" As he said, that person directly threw the list to the other party.
"Heh heh, I'll look then! Your Father has never heard before that a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist can even get on …"
He was just talking when his eyes also glimpsed the last few names on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. Ye Yuan's name was shockingly there!
"R-Really got on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! This … How is this possible?"
Very soon, the news of Ye Yuan getting on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation swept across the entire Asura Arena's third level like a tornado.
In the Asura Shop, Exalt Si Yin looked at the Heaven Carnage Proclamation list in her hand, her expression very ugly.
"Shao Kai, what do you think?" Si Yin asked the middle-aged man in brocade beside her.
"In this subordinate's view, Ye Yuan definitely obtained a very big breakthrough in these two months of seclusion. Although he was also very strong when fighting with Bai Meng, he shouldn't be powerful to a degree where he gets on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. But it's precisely because so that this Ye Yuan is even more terrifying! His growth rate is too fast!" Shao Kai said solemnly.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, after the martial artists on the Earth Carnage Proclamation broke through to Phaseless Realm, there would be a period of acc.u.mulation before they had a chance to get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation.
After all, the people on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation were not to be trifled with. Even if those Heaven Enlightenment Realm geniuses were any stronger, it was also impossible to immediately surpass these Phaseless Realm seniors.
"As time passed, people's understanding of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation had also deviated. Actually, the Heaven's Secret Tower issuing this proclamation was originally ranked according to strength and potential, and not at all divided according to cultivation realm. Normally speaking, the Heaven Carnage Proclamation is the real powerhouse list, while what the Earth Carnage Proclamation regards as more important is potential. However, Ye Yuan being able to ascend to the Heaven Carnage Proclamation with Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivation, this is the first time since the two proclamations were published!" Si Yin said.
Shao Kai nodded his head rather approvingly as he said, "This Ye Yuan is truly remarkable! Sadly … it will probably not be easy for Lord Exalt to want to bring him under your command."
Si Yin's expression fell, clearly quite vexed.
Indeed, Si Yin was somewhat regretting now! Had she long known about today, she would have directly offered the points to help Ye Yuan buy the Slaughter Sword Art.
Delivering charcoal in the snow was more favorable than adding flowers to embroidery.
Wanting to rope in Ye Yuan now would probably need to expend a greater price.
"Heavenly Slaughter Pit is going to open very soon. We need Ye Yuan right now! No matter how great a price I spend, I must pull Ye Yuan over to my side!" Si Yin gritted her teeth and said.
Chapter 895 - Crucial Role
Just as the outside world expected, these two months time, Ye Yuan's strength increase was all-round!
Experiencing Bai Meng's battle, Ye Yuan finally found the opportunity for body-refinement to breakthrough to Tier 8.
After half a month, Ye Yuan drew support from the power of medicinal pills and broke through to Tier 8 in one stroke!
Breaking through to Tier 8 brought tremendous changes to Ye Yuan.
The primeval dragon bone's energy was released further, making Ye Yuan's cultivation realm rise a great deal too, directly bursting through the Fourth Level Heaven Enlightenment's bottleneck, finally reaching Sixth Level Heaven Enlightenment.
What made Ye Yuan even more surprised was that his dragon wave finally broke through to middle-stage spirit rank after the breakthrough this time!
Ye Yuan's talent in dragon wave, even Long Teng marveled greatly with admiration. But after he broke through to spirit rank, the rate of progress had always been very slow.
The power of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan had always relied on the advancement of the fleshy body to increase it.
All the way until this time, Ye Yuan's dragon wave finally broke through the bottleneck.
After breaking through to middle-stage spirit rank, the power of Ye Yuan's Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm had an extremely great increase.
Ye Yuan also became aware that after his dragon wave was cultivated to spirit rank, the frequency of that sort of vibration reached a very terrifying level. Wanting to make any more advancements were countless harder than before.
This was also the reason why he had always been unable to break through the middle-stage bottleneck.
With the strength of Ye Yuan's Tier 7 fleshy body, wanting to reach that sort of vibration frequency was virtually something impossible.
This time, Ye Yuan broke through to Tier 8, the strength of his fleshy body had a tremendous increase. Only then did it let him break through the bottleneck in one stroke.
Of course, the increase in dragon wave made the power of the Void Dragon Shadow Punch have a substantial increase too. But because Ye Yuan's Scorching Supreme True Intent still remained at a standstill, this limited the increase of Ye Yuan's strength.
The remaining half a month, Ye Yuan was constantly cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's seventh layer martial technique —- Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire!
This time, Ye Yuan did not cultivate in seclusion with a one-track-mind.
He thought of a possibility, since the Vast Heaven Stele was able to help him comprehend concepts, then if he entered the Vast Heaven Stele's space to cultivate this martial technique, would he comprehend it faster or not?
Ye Yuan visualized the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire and entered the Vast Heaven Stele's space. He discovered that inside the Vast Heaven Stele's space, there was actually a transparent silhouette battling him with Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire!
Furthermore, this transparent person's Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire was actually at minor accomplishment!
This discovery made Ye Yuan pleasantly surprised!
Such an opponent was simply tailor-made for him!
This half a month's time, Ye Yuan was demolished by this transparent person goodness knows how many times. Finally, it made his Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire reach minor accomplishment!
This sort of cultivation speed was simply rated as horrify
ing!
One had to know what when Ye Yuan comprehended the Void Fire Mark back then, he spent quite a few month's time.
But the difficulty of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire was god knows how many times greater than the Void Fire Mark.
Ye Yuan actually only used half a month to cultivate the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire to minor accomplishment.
As such, his Scorching Supreme True Intent also smoothly broke through to the second-stage!
Two months later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion fully satisfied and contented.
After exiting seclusion, the first one he went to find was naturally Demon king Nalan Chu.
What made Ye Yuan surprised was that when he found Nalan Chu, that gray-robed middle-aged man, Mo Shang, actually just happened to be present.
The moment Nalan Chu saw Ye Yuan, it was like he saw his savior. He hurriedly pulled him to one side and said, "Oh my Young Lord, you finally exited seclusion! If you still don't leave seclusion, my doorway will be trampled broken!"
Ye Yuan took a look at Nalan Chu and glanced at Mo Shang, and instantly knew what happened in this period of time.
Looks like those few exalts all did not give up!
Unable to find him, they actually set their eyes on Nalan Chu.
Looking at Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, don't act meek after receiving benefits! These two months, accepted gifts until your hands became weak, right?"
Nalan Chu's face involuntarily reddened when he heard that. He was just about to explain when he heard Ye Yuan say again, "Heh, if you accepted, then keep it. Since lord exalts they all are so courteous, we can't fail to appreciate favors either!"
Ye Yuan knew that these exalts finding him one by one was definitely not taking fancy on his potential, but because he had some areas for them to exploit.
In this sort of place like the Chaotic Devil Sea, if one naively thought that their talent was regarded highly by some important figure and want to groom heavily, then the final outcome would definitely be very tragic.
Since that was the case, why not take it since there were benefits?
But Nalan Chu passed Ye Yuan a storage ring and said, "The gifts I accepted are all here. These gifts were gifted targeted at you. It should belong to you."
But Ye Yuan smiled and pushed it back, saying, "If they gave you, just take it. Being polite for what? Could it be that you think they will still treat me shabbily?"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan circled around Nalan Chu and clasped his hands towards Mo Shang, saying with a smile, "What a nice mood Senior Mo Shang is in, to actually come here and be a guest."
Mo Shang smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "You, this brat, really can't do anything about you! Don't tell me that you don't know my intentions for coming!"
Ye Yuan smiled and refrained from commenting.
Mo Shang could not help being somewhat gloomy about his blow landing on cotton. But he opened his mouth again, "Senior, this word, I don't deserve it! You're a powerhouse on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation now too! Logically speaking, we should be of the same generation. If you don't mind, just call me Elder Brother Mo."
Ye Yuan froze. He had yet to understand what was going on when Nalan Chu explained, "The other day, the new issue of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation were already published. Your name appeared on the 495th place of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! This matter has already caused a huge commotion in the Asura Arena."
Only when Ye Yuan heard did he come to realize it.
He himself also did not think that he would actually get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation.
But Ye Yuan estimated his strength presently a little, beating Sixth Level Phaseless martial artists shouldn't be anything difficult. Getting on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation did not seem to be something hard to believe either.
It was just that, what made Ye Yuan surprised was that he was in closed-seclusion for two months and his strength had a tremendous increase. Such a thing actually could not hide from the Heaven's Secret Tower's eyes and ears.
This Heaven's Secret Tower was seriously mysterious until it made people feel terrified.
Ye Yuan in closed-door seclusion, if he was spied on by others, it was impossible to not detect anything at all. Then how did Heaven's Secret Tower come to know that he had the strength to leap realms and battle?
"Elder Brother Mo, even if Younger Brother, I, got on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation, compared to you, I'm afraid the disparity is still too great, right? You already said that Exalt Netherkill is extremely stringent in selecting slaughter generals, why would he pick me?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that was not a smile.
Actually, Ye Yuan already had some guesses in his heart. It was just that he still needed to confirm it through Mo Shang's mouth.
Although Ye Yuan gleaned considerable benefits in the Chaotic Devil Sea, he did not forget his objective of coming here.
Long Teng was still in slumber and needed Skandha Divine Stones to nourish.
And Skandha Divine Stones was the Chaotic Devil Sea's local specialty!
This matter, very few in the outside world knew. But with Ji Qingyun's status, he was naturally aware.
Skandha Divine Stones were inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit!
Mo Shang did not hesitate. Opening his mouth, he said, "One month later, the Heavenly Slaughter Pit will be opening! When the time comes, the 12 Exalts will bring a large group of subordinates to enter inside! And you will play a major crucial role!"
Chapter 896 - Conditions
"Heavenly Slaughter pit?" Ye Yuan intentionally pretended to not know.
Mo Shang nodded his head. Darting a glance at Nalan Chu, Nalan Chu got the meaning and left on his own accord.
After Nalan Chu left, Mo Shang explained, "This is a secret only limited to slaughter general-class to know! The Asura Arena has limitless good stuff and also a set of slaughter rules that the outside world doesn't. And these all originate from the Heavenly Slaughter Pit!"
"The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is an ancient battlefield, and also a land where gods fall! There are inexhaustible treasures inside. Of course, it also comes with tremendous danger. The Heavenly Slaughter Pit opens once every ten years. And two months later is precisely the ten-year date."
Ye Yuan's face made a surprised expression at the right time, but asked, "What does that have to do with me?"
Mo Shang said, "Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, the exalts discovered a grotto. And opening the grotto requires dragon race bloodline."
Ye Yuan came to a realization when he heard that. No wonder these exalts were all like flies, watching closely and not letting go.
"In that case, I'm a rare commodity in short supply right now? It's just … ten years passed all at once, these Exalts can't have not prepared any backup plans, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Although dragon race bloodline was scarce, as long as one searched seriously, they could still find some.
Since these exalts got their eyes on that grotto, it was impossible to not find martial artists carrying dragon blood in these ten years.
"That is, of course! It's just that martial artists carrying dragon race bloodline aren't easy to find. The ones who found dragon blood martial artists now are only four or five exalts." Mo Shang.
"Since they already found four or five, why do they still want to come looking for me?" Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.
"That, I'm not too sure. Maybe they took a liking to your strength. Because that grotto, exalts can't enter! Furthermore, since it requires dragon race bloodline, the treasures inside are very likely to be related to the dragon race. People carrying dragon race bloodline naturally have a greater chance of obtaining treasures." Mo Shang guessed.
Hearing Mo Shang's explanation, Ye Yuan could not help frowning and say, "Looks like, there were exalts who perished in that grotto?"
This sort of thing, one would only know after testing it out perso
nally.
Mo Shang nodded and said, "The last time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened up, everyone accidentally stumbled upon and barged into the Dragon Sovereign Territory. As a result, two Exalts were directly obliterated by the rules inside! Exalt Si Yin and Exalt Blazing Fire were supplemented in after that."
This Asura Arena had operated for several tens of thousands of years. But there had always been just 12 Exalts. Only after one of the exalts died, would the people below have a chance to fill in the vacancy to become an exalt.
However, even if there wasn't the Dragon Sovereign Territory incident, the replacing of the 12 Exalts was also very frequent.
Virtually every time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened, there would be several exalts who die inside.
However, there were too many good stuff inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit. Each time it opened, the exalts would advance and fill the gaps left by fallen comrades, and enter the Heavenly Slaughter Pit to seek treasures.
"Huhu, actually, It doesn't matter to me. It's just that since the exalts are unable to enter, how would he know how many treasures I annex inside?" Ye Yuan said with an indifferent look.
Mo Shang said, "Joining under the command of an exalt is not a verbal agreement, but swearing upon one's own Absolute Kill Token! After swearing, the exalt and the slaughter general will reach a kind of agreement. Once the slaughter general violates the oath, his life and death will be up to the exalt to control. Of course, as long as you don't go against the oath, the exalt won't erase you either."
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "It seems like that I have no choice."
Mo Shang nodded his head and said, "Under this sort of circ.u.mstances now, you indeed don't have a choice anymore! If you reject all of the exalts, you'll probably become their common enemy!"
Becoming the common enemy of the 12 Exalts, this did not sound like a fun thing no matter what.
But his life and death being controlled by others was clearly not Ye Yuan's style.
