These eight giant apes even displayed that strange posture earlier while running.
They actually wanted to do it a second time!
Right then, Ye Yuan moved. His figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
Merging into heaven and earth!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan plunged in the middle of the eight giant apes.
His pseudo-Divine King domain opening up, violent sword energy instantly threw the tempo of the giant apes' joint-attack into disorder.
Clink clank, clink clank.
Countless sword energy hacked onto the giant apes and actually emitted the sound of metal clashing.
These eight giant apes' bodies were actually comparable to holy artifacts.
Ye Yuan's sword lights were also unable to breach their defenses for a short time!
Of course, this was still primarily because Ye Yuan's cultivation realm was lacking. His sword intent concept was attained, but he did not have powerful essence energy to support it.
If he had Divine King Realm essence energy, he would have killed at least two giant apes at this time already.
These giant apes clearly did not expect that this seemingly unremarkable human actually took them by surprise.
Ye Yuan's random entry immediately upset the giant apes' joint-attack. They were each fighting their own battle currently. But Ye Yuan had plenty of room to play, shuttling back and forth between them.
For some time, both sides actually fought until they were equally matched.
Although Ye Yuan's Divine King domain was temporarily unable to breach the giant apes' defenses, as time passed, they could be exhausted to death by Ye Yuan.
Eight giant apes howled incessantly. Each and every one of them wanted to display that strange posture.
But Ye Yuan did not give them a chance at all!
Every time they wanted to make a joint attack, Ye Yuan's countless sword lights would focus on a giant ape to greet it.
Even if his Divine King domain was any weaker, once it went to say hello on a person's body, it would be too much for the other party to take as well.
And their joint-attack, as long as one could not keep up, it would directly be broken.
Guo Xu looked at this scene, his expression unspeakably gloomy.
He did not think that he actually failed miserably in an easy task.
Chapter 1095 - Concepts Breakthrough
Under the heart realm of Heaven Man Unity, the eight giant apes' every movement and action were mapped in Ye Yuan's mind, revealing every tiny detail.
These eight giant apes were perfect as opponents for him.
These eight giant apes' strengths were very fearsome. Even if they did not use joint-attacks, Ye Yuan also felt exceptionally strenuous to cope with it.
But it was precisely this feeling of limit-like that could stimulate Ye Yuan's potential!
The giant apes' iron fists produced fierce winds by Ye Yuan's ears.
Although Ye Yuan could accurately avoid their fists, the essence energy force-wind howled from the fists also made it too much for Ye Yuan to bear.
Eight giant apes, 16 iron fists weaving together, forming an exceedingly terrifying force-wind web in the air.
Even if Ye Yuan possessed a divine king domain, he also sustained injuries on many parts of his body.
However, those eight giant apes were nowhere better.
Ye Yuan was too nimble. Under the whittling of the Limitless Sword Domain, the eight giant apes had many cuts sliced open on their bodies by him.
The eight giant apes all suffered varying degrees of injuries.
All along, the opponents that Ye Yuan encountered were all overly powerful. Many times, he had to borrow the power of divine artifacts before he could barely manage to force the opponent back.
But now, he was truly relying on his own strength to be evenly-matched with these eight giant apes.
By the side, the Purple-Gold Hall disciples watched until they were incredibly terrified.
In their understanding, the reason why Ye Yuan was powerful was likely still by relying on his divine artifact.
But just how powerful his true strength was, they had never experienced before.
This time, they really experienced it.
A Third Level Dao Profound, battling eight giant apes, was actually evenly-matched.
This strength, forget about laughing proudly among the same rank, even among them peak divine kings, it was also far greater!
"I didn't think that Ji Qingyun's martial Dao strength had actually reached this step! My strength, dealing with one giant ape is already enough to choke on. He actually didn't fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest dealing with eight!" a peak divine king Purple-Gold Hall disciple said.
"Truly remarkable! This guy's alchemy Dao is heaven-defying. But looking at it now, his martial Dao is not the slightest bit weaker than his alchemy Dao!" Another divine king powerhouse sighed with admiration.
"Didn't he reincarnate for around 20 years? How can he possibly comprehend such a profound supreme true intent? Could it be that it was all a guise in his previous life?"
These disciples were all stunned silly, not at all aware that Guo Xu's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.
"All shut your mouths for me!" Guo Xu clutched his c.h.e.s.t and reprimanded furiously.
These disciples became aware that they misspoke and involuntarily stuck out their tongues and no longer spoke.
Praising Ji Qingyun in front of Eldest Senior Brother, wasn't this slapping his face?
But right at this time, the Spirit Hound Divine King suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Ji Qingyun … seems to be breaking through!"
Guo Xu could not help being alarmed when he heard and hurriedly looked over towards Ye Yuan there.
Currently, Ye Yuan was wounded on many parts of his body. Quite a number of areas even oozed dark red fresh blood.
But, his divine king domain radiated with a resplendent light and was actually even sharper compared to before!
Those sword lights became stronger and stronger and also became sharper and sharper.
For a moment, Ye Yuan's divine king domain gave off a brilliant azure light. The energy of life and death rampaged willfully!
Originally, Ye Yuan's pseudo-divine king domain was only roughly 50 square feet.
This level of divine king domain could not compare to even the lowest of Void Mystic powerhouses.
But now, Ye Yuan's divine king domain actually expanded to a hundred square feet already, expanded a full one-fold!
Don't look down on this one-fold square feet, to Void Mystic powerhouses, even expanding 10 feet was an exceptionally difficult matter.
The size of a divine king domain could show the strength of a Void Mystic powerhouse to a certain extent.
Guo Xu devoted to comprehending Dao, breaking through from the initial-most 100 square feet to 500 square feet these few years. The improvement could be said to be tremendous.
It was just that his strength was not considered very strong among Void Mystic powerhouses.
Divine king domain reaching a thousand-feet radius, this was a dividing crest for Void Mystic powerhouses.
Reaching this sort of degree, one would roughly be an existence in the same class as the Extreme Sword Divine King.
Reaching this step required two kinds of supreme true intents to both reach the level of rank-nine, and must be fused together perfectly!
As for Ye Yuan, his concepts comprehension was actually even stronger compared to Guo Xu already.
The reason why his divine king domain was only 50 feet radius was that his essence energy was completely insufficient to support such a large sword domain.
But now, Ye Yuan's cultivation realm did not break through. It was his concepts comprehension that broke through!
Just earlier, Ye Yuan's sword intent finally broke through to rank-nine.
It was only a step away from the great circle of perfection!
Rank-nine sword intent was an existence that many Void Mystic powerhouses were unable to attain.
Ye Yuan only used 20 years and did it!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The azure-colored sword lights were akin to a group of azure-colored wandering dragons, puncturing a giant ape in front of Ye Yuan full of wounds.
Hence, this giant ape could not hang in there anymore and collapsed with a loud crash!
These eight giant apes had excellent teamwork. One suddenly collapsing, their strength reduced greatly.
With this, Ye Yuan brought along innumerable azure light, like a walking monster ravaging these giant apes wantonly.
Ye Yuan's control of essence energy was extremely exquisite. A prolonged battle was not an issue at all.
Those external wounds were not worth mentioning at all to a Tier 9 fleshy body powerhouse like him.
One giant ape after another collapsed with a loud bang. Ye Yuan's speed of slaughtering also became increasingly faster.
Finally, the last giant ape toppled at Ye Yuan's feet.
Ye Yuan actually annihilated eight peak divine king giant apes with his strength alone. This sort of battle achievement could simply be rated as a miracle!
Those Purple-Gold Hall disciples were all stunned silly.
They even thought that Ye Yuan was only making use of these eight giant apes to temper himself. In the end, he would still utilize a divine artifact to be able to slay these eight giant apes.
But they never could have thought that Ye Yuan spent an entire day's time, and forcefully exhausted these eight giant apes to death.
The moment the giant apes died, Ye Yuan was also practically on the brink of giving out already.
He fished out a medicinal pill and meditated on the spot to recover strength.
He collected a large batch of spirit medicines at the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Refining a few Tier 9 medicinal pills was naturally nothing difficult.
The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at the Ye Yuan currently meditation and said in a solemn voice, "Ji Qingyun's combat experience is extremely abundant. From start to end, he never gave those giant apes even a gleam of chance! Looks like during these 20 years, he experienced a lot! Guo Xu, actually, having such an existence isn't a bad thing to you. He can make you strive harder after knowing the humiliation and make you not dare to slack off in the slightest! Whether a success or a failure, it depends on your own mindset."
When Guo Xu heard that, his entire body involuntarily trembled.
That turbid gaze gradually became resolved.
Yeah, such a monstrous existence like Ji Qingyun was still cultivating by risking his life. What energy did he still have to be jealous here?
As long as he cultivated continuously, there would come a day where he would be able to surpass him.
Because Lord Cloudsky said before, Ji Qingyun was someone certain to die!
Although Guo Xu did not understand why Ji Qingyun was dead for sure, he was certain that Lord Cloudsky absolutely would not lie to him.
He slowly stood up, his body radiating a fierce fighting intent!
"From today onwards, I, Guo Xu, will strive doubly hard! There will come a day where I'll surpass Ji Qingyun!"
Chapter 1096 - Fourth Level Dao Profound!
Swish!
An azure light flashed past. A snake-form desolate beast was immediately killed by Ye Yuan.
This was the 65th desolate beast that Ye Yuan slew within 10 days!
These 65 desolate beasts, all of them were super strong peak Divine Kings.
Some desolate beasts even had some talent ability, making Ye Yuan suffer a huge loss too.
But with this bout of tempering, Ye Yuan's improvement speed was also extremely evident.
The Holy City's disciples watched Ye Yuan grow bit by bit with their own eyes. This sort of growth could virtually be visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye!
However, just 10 day's time had passed.
Even though they no longer dared to anyhow appraise in view of Eldest Senior Brother's face, their astonishment towards Ye Yuan was not ambiguous at all.
The breakthrough of Dao Profound Realm powerhouses, even just a tiny bit, was also calculated in years.
But for Ye Yuan, it was calculated using days.
These 10 days of tempering completely did not have elements of resorting to unorthodox means. It was bona fide battles after battles.
Although battles could help martial artists to increase strength rapidly, such an increase was also too apparent, right?
What made Ye Yuan surprised was that Guo xu actually did not come to find trouble with him anymore.
It seemed that after the giant apes, Guo Xu became wiser.
And the eyes Guo Xu looked at him with also seemed to be different from in the past.
But these had nothing to do with him. He had no spare time to care about this.
To the current Ye Yuan, the most pressing matter at hand was to increase strength.
That hint of undulation at the entrance area made Ye Yuan somewhat uneasy.
He believed that Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm would not lie to him!
Since that was the case, his strength being an iota stronger, it would naturally be an iota safer too.
In a twinkle, half a month passed. Ye Yuan charged all the way into the third level. But at this time, he finally sensed that he was about to break through to the Fourth Level Dao Profound.
Third Level Dao Profound and Fourth Level Dao Profound were similarly a threshold.
By crossing it, Ye Yuan's essence energy and emperor qi would have a substantial increase.
The increase in essence energy would naturally also let his divine king domain be strengthened.
After entering the third level, the desolate beasts here were evidently much stronger. Although they had yet to encounter Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts, the strength of the desolate beasts presently were extraordinary.
Furthermore, quite a few desolate beasts showed up in packs and bands. The weakest also had first-rate Divine King's strength.
However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of stopping.
Once he recovered essence energy, he would immediately go over and kill desolate beasts.
At the moment, he was currently fighting with a group of wolf-form desolate beasts!
He was currently dealing with several hundred wolf-form desolate beasts by himself. The majority among them were first-rate Divine Kings, while peak Divine King Realm wolf kings also had no less than 20.
This sort of cooperation between desolate beasts was much more tacit than even those eight giant apes.
Ye Yuan was bold and unconstrained, being locked together in battle with the wolf pack.
When everyone saw this scene, they were all unbelievably shocked.
"This guy really went crazy! Such crazed cultivation, how the hell did he survive?" Guo Xu said with a frown.
Along the way, Ye Yuan never stopped before, spending it in the midst of slaughter all along.
This intensity of cultivation, Guo Xu questioned himself and was certain that he absolutely could not hang in there.
The Spirit Hound Divine King said, "To be able to obtain such startling accomplishments in 20 years, it was definitely not a fluke for Ji Qingyun! His talent need not be commented no more, but this tenacity is even harder to come by. Such high-intensity cultivation, even Void Mystic powerhouses will have their spirits crumble too."
Suddenly, Guo Xu's expression changed, and he said, "This guy is really a mad man! He … is actually going to break through in the midst of the wolf pack!"
In the sky, tribulation clouds rolled.
He had already fought for a day and night with this wolf pack and killed over a hundred wolves.
But just earlier, Ye Yuan finally detected that the turning point for breakthrough arrived.
If it were others, they absolutely would not dare to break through at this time.
Once he was pinned d
own by the wolf pack, Ye Yuan would definitely be smitten to death by the heavenly tribulation. One had to know that there were over 20 peak Divine King Realm wolf kings in the wolf pack.
But Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his superb skills and did not care at all. He directly opened up his essence energy sea and allowed himself to break through freely.
Heavenly tribulation was nigh. The movements of Ye Yuan's hands were not the least bit slow, killing two wolves in a blink.
Crack!
A coarse lightning bolt streaked down, rumbling over towards Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan gave a long cry and actually did not dodge nor evade!
These wolf kings' intellects were exceedingly high and had long been waiting for this moment.
Just as the heavenly tribulation was about to land on Ye Yuan, five peak Divine King wolf kings arrived with a howl, baring their sharp teeth, and biting down towards Ye Yuan's calf.
These few wolf kings' teeth were no joke.
If bitten by them, Ye Yuan's leg would be thoroughly crippled.
They eyed precisely this opportune moment to attack. Ye Yuan had to deal with the heavenly tribulation, it was totally impossible to deal with five wolf kings at the same time.
"Heh, arrogant fellow! This time, played yourself to death, right? I want to see how you avoid this certain-kill strike!" Guo Xu said with a cold smile.
Such an evenly matched battle and he actually still dared to be careless. He truly did not know how the word death was written.
But right at this time, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth.
"Waited very long for you all! Limitless Life-Death Sword!"
Ye Yuan gave a loud cry, his divine king domain instantly erupting. Five azure lights flowed out from inside the divine king domain bizarrely, heading straight for those five Divine Kings.
As for that heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to give it a glance at all.
Rumble!
Ye Yuan forcefully suffered this bolt of lightning tribulation, while those five wolf kings did not manage to bite him at all due to receiving Ye Yuan's attack. Instead, they were implicated by the heavenly tribulation because they were too close to Ye Yuan.
This heavenly tribulation was virtually equivalent to the full power attack of a peak Divine King. The power could be imagined.
