They interweaved between each other and were interdependent. Not only was their power extraordinary, but they were also intricate and complex, undergoing a myriad of changes in the twinkle of an eye.
The footwork Ye Yuan was manipulating the others with was changing at every second, and not identical with his own footwork.
For the other martial artists to want to pass through the Yellow Springs Road based on Ye Yuan's footwork was simply a fool's talk!
Facing these ancient array formations that were all extremely rarely-seen array formations, if Ye Yuan's conjectures were right, they should all be the dragon clan's array formation. Ye Yuan could only accomplish passing through and was unable to control freely like in the past.
Shao Kai, An Ren, and the rest were all sweating profusely being controlled in Ye Yuan's hands. But they did not dare to have the slightest trace of their own actions.
The sound of those few people's shrill screams earlier were still reverberating beside their ears. With their strength, once they were attacked by the array formations, then there was only a road that led to death.
But what made them even more shocked was that Ye Yuan could actually accomplish such an inconceivable thing!
One had to know, carrying over ten puppets in one's hands while passing through such a terrifying grand array, how great a nerve did this require? How precise and subtle the soul force and essence energy, as well as how startling the Formations Dao attainments?
In their view, this was simply an impossible task.
Yet, Ye Yuan was indeed currently realizing it step by step!
"Mo Shang, let's go!"
Right at this time, Zhong Wubing who had been silent all along finally spoke.
Mo Shang could not help turning blank and said, "Right now?"
They did not have Ye Yuan's heaven-defying Formations Dao attainments. Charging forward at this time, they were bound to trigger the array formations!
Once the array formations were set up, Ye Yuan would surely be affected too!
Zhong Wubing suddenly mentioning to charge onto the Yellow Springs Road at this time, his goal was already understood without further explanations.
"That's right! I want to take a look at to what extent can this brat be heaven-defying to!" Zhong Wubing said with a cold sneer.
Exalt Netherkill's party only had eight people. But these eight people's strengths were incomparably formidable.
Furthermore, Exalt Netherkill was bound to have already prepared for many contingencies for the sake of this trip. They probably came for the sake of forcefully rushing through the formations.
It was just that this timing of barging through the formations was a bit too vicious!
But to the people in Asura Arena, vicious this term, seemed to be somewhat overly pedestrian.
Zhong Wubing leaped and directly entered the Yellow Springs Road.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
He did not have Ye Yuan's swift and fierce footwork. The moment he got on, he triggered the grand array.
The other seven people under Exalt Netherkill's command did not hesitate in the slightest too, directly leaping up.
Fierce flames instantly engulfed the seven of them. But the others knew that there was no way Zhong Wubing would perish in the sea of fire just like that.
Exalt Netherkill was the one with the deepest foundations among all of the Exalts. Since he already knew that there was a Yellow Springs Road here, how could he possibly not leave some trump cards for Zhong Wubing and the rest?
Sure enough, rays of chilly spectral light radiated out of the fire sea and actually isolated off this fierce sea of fire!
"Profound Shallow Birdcage! My god, Exalt Netherkill actually handed this high-grade ice-attribute holy artifact to them!"
When everyone saw that treasure held in Zhong Wubing's hands, a wave of exclamations immediately sounded out.
That pure white little pigeon cage gave off waves of profound ice-colored ghostly lights, and actually isolated off such a fierce fire sea!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The array formations on the Yellow Springs Road were all closely linked to one another. Eight experts coming up on this side all at once already set off the grand array.
Scorching flames actually spread over towards the front!
Sensing that surging fire sea at the back, Si Yin's lot all felt waves of chills down their spines, cold sweat pouring profusely.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhong Wubing's mouth showed a mocking expression.
"Brat, you're still a little tender to be fighting with me! I want to see just how you escape this fire sea!" Zhong Wubing said with a cold smile.
Sensing everyone's thoughts become unsteady, Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "Focus your mind and be unmoved! If you guys don't wish to die, then you can only trust me!"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone's hearts shivered, and they hurriedly put away their thoughts. But their bodies did not dare to even have any bit of movement.
At this point, apart from choosing to believe Ye Yuan, they already had no other choices.
Rather than their minds wavering and landing in the array formation, might as well let Ye Yuan control.
Ye Yuan's measures, they had already experienced it. Maybe he could still create a miracle now?
Ye Yuan's fingers were like they were flying. The footwork under his feet also accelerated.
All at once, Ye Yuan's speed increased.
However, Ye Yuan naturally had to pay a corresponding price too. The speed of his soul force and essence energy consumption was rising sharply!
"Everybody together! Whether you live or die, we each rely on our own means!"
Seeing that Zhong Wubing they all already got on the Yellow Springs Road, the rest could not endure it anymore either, all dashing onto it.
Although Zhong Wubing was powerful, the other camps' powerhouses were not few either. Furthermore, entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, everybody had ample preparations.
For some time, everyone was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea; each displayed their divine abilities 1 .
One magic weapon after the other flew everywhere. The most inferior was also a low-grade holy artifact.
Seemed like in order to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, each of the Exalts poured in the blood capital.
With Exalt Blazing Fire, this example here, these Exalts were clearly no longer calm either.
But this move of employing one magic weapon after another seemed to have infuriated the entire grand array all of a sudden!
Rumble!
Bolts of dense lightning descended with a roar, directly bombarding onto everyone's magic weapons.
Magic weapons that were slightly weaker were directly shattered.
"ARGHH!!"
For a moment, miserable cries echoed together.
The Yellow Springs Road became the human world's Asura Arena 2 .
Hearing such miserable cries, Shao Kai and they all each had goosebumps all over their bodies.
They could clearly sense that Ye Yuan increased speed.
Shao Kai could not resist sneaking a glance at Ye Yuan and could not help being startled inwardly.
Not a hint of panic could be seen on Ye Yuan's face. His entire person seemed to have entered some sort of very mysterious state.
Underneath Ye Yuan's foot, the movement became faster and faster. The movements of his hands similarly became increasingly faster!
Shao Kai could not help shockingly discover that not only did their group of people not receive any aftershocks, they pulled apart the distance from over there instead!
Ye Yuan's speed was actually even faster than the speed Zhong Wubing, and they all were advancing at!
This … How was this possible?
One had to know that Ye Yuan was currently doing over a dozen things at the same time. And each thing placed onto other people was an impossible task.
Under such circ.u.mstances, Ye Yuan's sp
eed did not reduce. It increased instead. This was also too heaven-defying, right?
Zhong Wubing also felt very unpleasant right now. But when his gaze fleeted sideways at Ye Yuan, his expression instantly became incomparably ugly. A widely known Chinese myth. It's kinda like a phrase that means they are contending with each other too. Means a tragic battlefield.
Chapter 908 - Eating Dust
The martial artists entering the Yellow Springs Road became more and more. The power of the array formations was also increasing continuously.
Apart from lighting and fire, these two types of attributes, several more kinds of attribute attacks landed.
For some time, the entire Yellow Springs Road was incomparably chaotic.
Zhong Wubing cursed incessantly in his heart and wished that he could kill off all of those fellows.
But at this time, his spirit was willing, but his strength was lacking as well.
Although the Profound Shallow Birdcage was a high-grade holy artifact, under such fierce attacks, it appeared rather hard-pressed to tackle all the problems too.
In the beginning, he still had some strength to spare. But later on, not just him, even the rest of the people must pull out all stops too, before they could barely hold on.
Ye Yuan's speed became increasingly faster. His heart realm entered a kind of mysterious state, making him have an all-round increase in control in all aspects!
Ye Yuan knew that under an extreme situation, his heart realm that entered a bottleneck finally broke through.
If dividing according to cultivation realms, Ye Yuan should have entered Heart Like Monolith's middle-stage.
After breaking through, his analytical abilities had a tremendous increase, making him have a huge increase in cracking speed when facing the ancient array formations on the one hand. On the other hand, controlling those companions also became even more skillful and accomplished with ease.
This way, Ye Yuan's advancement speed naturally became much faster.
The Yellow Springs Road was roughly 10 thousand feet in distance from start to finish. Ye Yuan's speed became faster the more he walked, and he reached the end very soon.
But at this point, Zhong Wubing they all merely walked half of the journey.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yuan's figure moved, directly leaping out of the Yellow Springs Road. Then with a wave of his hand, the rest also came out safe and sound.
"Big Brother Ye, you're too incredible! I really idolize you to death!" An Ren immediately jumped up in excitement.
Shao Kai was more reserved. But at this time, he was unbelievably agitated too: "Ye Yuan, you … did you breakthrough in heart realm?"
From Ye Yuan's state, it was not hard to determine that Ye Yuan must have had a breakthrough in heart realm. Furthermore, to be able to accomplish it to Ye Yuan's extent, his heart realm was inevitably terrifyingly high.
Ye Yuan's gaze looked towards Zhong Wubing rather amusedly, and he said with a smile, "This was all thanks to our Boss Zhong. It's impolite not to reciprocate. Shouldn't we repay in kind too?"
Ye Yuan deliberately poured in essence energy, making his voice penetrate through the array formations, and transmit into everyone's ears.
The moment Zhong Wubing heard, his expression could not help changing drastically.
He never would have thought that he failed to bury Ye Yuan, but let Ye Yuan had a breakthrough instead. Now, Ye Yuan was actually going to turn around and bury him in turn.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan raised his hand, and it was a palm, directly rumbling into the grand array.
Charging over this whole way, Ye Yuan was already very familiar with this set of interlinking array formations.
He only unleashed one move, but it set off the grand array's chain reaction.
All of a sudden, the grand array's attacks became several times fiercer!
This spreading out and affecting everyone all of a sudden, another series of tragic screams rang out again.
The various Exalts' ten years of painstaking preparations were all gone under this blow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One round of attacks landing, half of the martial artists directly perished. Even Zhong Wubing's side lost as many as three all at once too.
Those left were all elites among elites!
It was just that these elites, each and every one of their conditions were very bad as well. Apart from top-level powerhouses like Zhong Wubing, they all suffered varying degrees of injuries.
There was still less than half of the journey remaining. But it was not such an easy matter for them to want to pull through.
The present Zhong Wubing did not even have a chance to shout curses. It was only to see him teetering on his feet, exhausted from dealing with attacks from all directions.
A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth, and he said, "Let them busy away first. Let's go search for treasures first!"
"Haha, these bunch of fellows actually dare to use an underhanded move against our Boss Ye, serves them right to follow behind our asses and eat dust!"
As An Ren laughed loudly, he followed behind Ye Yuan gleefully, the appearance of a vile character intoxicated by success.
Clearing the Yellow Springs Road, what entered their eyes was a small two-storied pavilion.
Seeing this pavilion, the group of people was all very excited.
They knew that Exalt Blazing Fire obtained the treasure here. That was how he ascended to the sky in one leap, becoming an Exalt.
"Go in then!" Ye Yuan said.
Seeing everyone's looks of burning eagerness, Ye Yuan could not help telling them this with a smile.
The bunch of people scrambled after one another and entered into the building. Ye Yuan observed around. This place did not have any eye-catching aspects.
It was just that this building's first floor was clearly also cleaned out by people before. The things left were already not many.
"High-grade holy artifact!" someone suddenly cried out.
Actually, there was no need for him to shout, the rest of the people also saw it.
A sword rack was placed in the corner. Displayed on it was an exquisite treasure sword. Looking at the treasure sword's aura, it was absolutely a high-grade holy artifact without a doubt.
Seeing the treasure sword, there was someone who could not contain himself and wanted to make a move to take it.
"Stop!" Ye Yuan shouted sternly. That person's body shuddered, and he involuntarily stopped the movements of his hands and legs.
"B-Boss Ye, what is it?" That person said quiveringly with fear.
Hearing Ye Yuan bark so sternly, that person was also somewhat quaking with fear.
Ye Yuan casually took a piece of wood and threw over. It was only to see a ghostly light flash past. With a whoosh, the wood was directly vaporized.
That person could not help shrinking back when he saw the situation. Only then did he know that he already circled one round around the gates of hell and back.
"Even a fool can see that that is a high-grade holy artifact. You think that they won't retrieve it the last time they came over? You look, there's still has a pile of ashes over there. It must be a martial artist who triggered the restriction and was burned to death. To be able to walk in here, they were definitely people whose strength were overwhelming. Even they could not retrieve the treasure sword, can you collect it?" Ye Yuan said softly.
That person spat out his tongue, aware that he was too careless.
He thought that going across the Yellow Springs Road, inside this pavilion-building was just like that side-hall; there was no dangers anymore. He really did not expect that danger was hidden everywhere!
But he was also groveling on all fours in admiration towards Ye Yuan already. Ye Yuan had just entered this pavilion-building too but already observed all of the subtle aspects.
"Then … Then we can only watch blankly?" the person said rather unwillingly.
To be a
ble to be surrounded by such a powerful restriction, this treasure sword definitely had extraordinary aspects. Perhaps, it was not as simple as just a high-grade holy artifact.
Giving up just like this, how could they be willing to accept it?
High-grade holy artifact, even in the Asura Arena, it was extremely seldom-seen too.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, only Exalt-classes could possess a high-grade holy artifact. It was already very impressive for them, these slaughter generals, to be able to own a middle-grade holy artifact.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that, "Already came in, how can we return empty-handed?"
As he said, Ye Yuan slowly took a few steps forward, and actually directly walked over towards that treasure sword!
When everyone saw this scene, their countenance could not help changing suddenly.
"Boss Ye, that restriction …" An Ren shouted at the top of his voice, wanting to go up and pull Ye Yuan.
But the moment he made a move, Ye Yuan slipped away like a loach. He grabbed onto thin air.
Everyone's hearts seized up, and they could not resist closing their eyes.
But when they opened their eyes, Ye Yuan already picked up that treasure sword and started playing with it in his hand.
Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain what happened.
Such a powerful restriction, how come Ye Yuan was fine when he went in?
Chapter 909 - He Cannot, Doesn't Meant That I Can't!
"Restriction? This restriction practically only exists in name to me," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
This restriction was the same as the grand array, both triggered with dragon wave as the condition.
As long as Ye Yuan adjusted his own dragon wave vibration frequency to become the same as the restriction, passing through this restriction was something that could be easily accomplished.
Everyone exchanged glances, not sure what they should say.
There was still a pile of ashes on the floor, but Ye Yuan said that this restriction existed only in name. What else could they still say?
This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. No matter how difficult a matter was, it would become very easy when it reached his hands.
This skill to turn something rotten into something magical made each and every one of them admire endlessly.
