It was not that he, Cloudsky, was foolish, but hearing the Yu Soul Sect and the secret of Deity Realm, these two things that Ye Yuan threw out were too shocking, resulting in him having that instant of lowering his guard.
And Ye Yuan took advantage of precisely this instant and succeeded in sneak attacking.
Sensing the traces of cold intent coming from his neck, Guo Xu's heart went utterly cold.
Ye Yuan making a trip into the Bloodrain Wilderness, his current strength already flung him beyond the nine heavens.
Just now, his divine king domain was simply as weak as a piece of blank paper in front of Ye Yuan's Evil Extermination Sword!
"Ji Qingyun, you despicable man! This place is the Holy City. Do you think that by holding me hostage, you can escape? Dream on!" Guo Xu clenched his teeth and said.
Ye Yuan made a move like lightning, directly sealing Guo Xu's essence energy. Ye Yuan then lightly patted his shoulder and said smilingly, "You'd best worry about yourself. My matters don't need you to be concerned. If I die here, you'd definitely die before me."
Guo Xu's face was ashen pale. He was really meat on somebody's chopping board right now.
"Ji Qingyun, what do you want?" Cloudsky asked in a solemn voice.
Guo Xu's status in the Holy City naturally went without saying. Hence, that was why Ye Yuan chose him to be the hostage.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Two conditions! First, immediately attack the Medicine King Hall! Second, hand over the Holy City's divine inscriptions! Don't look at me with that kind of look. There's no room for discussion. I'll give you ten breaths of time to consider. Once the time is up, Guo Xu will die!"
"You're dreaming, Ji Qingyun! Divine inscriptions are my Holy City's non-transmissible secret! Even ordinary elders can't cultivate either, why should we give you?" Cloudsky said fiercely.
But Ye Yuan ignored him and started counting backward very calmly.
"Ten breaths."
"Nine breaths."
"Eight breaths."
"Seven breaths."
...
"Three breaths."
Cloudsky's expression was incredibly grim as he said with a cold smile, "Ji brat, you want to use this kind of method to scare this lord? You're too naive! If you really kill Guo Xu, you'll also die beyond all doubt today!"
Along with Ye Yuan's countdown, Guo Xu's breathing also became ragged.
The sweat on his body already soaked his clothing.
However, Cloudsky still did not have the intention of agreeing to Ye Yuan.
"Two breaths!"
"One breath!"
Cloudsky looked at Ye Yuan with a cold sneer just like that. He did not believe that Ye Yuan really dared to make a move.
This place was the Holy City. If he killed Guo Xu, Ye Yuan definitely could not escape!
"Guo Xu, you set your mind at ease. I assure you with my head that Ji brat absolutely won't dare to kill you!" Cloudsky said to Guo Xu.
"Time's up!"
Right at this time, ten breath's time was up.
Cloudsky laughed loudly and said, "Ji brat, why don't you kill! Just now, weren't you still threatening this lord?"
The corners of Ye Yuan's mouth curled, and a hint of a mocking smile flashed past. The Evil Extermination Sword pressed forward lightly.
Slash …
Guo Xu's head flew high up, turning into a headless corpse in a blink of an eye.
The Evil Extermination Sword's edge ground Guo Xu's divine soul into pieces along with it too.
Everyone was stunned!
Only all the way until the head hit the ground, did they abruptly startle awake.
The Holy City's successor, was actually killed so easily?
Ye Yuan really killed Guo Xu!
Ye Yuan actually really dared to kill Guo Xu!
Was this guy mad?
"You … You really dared to kill him!" Cloudsky said angrily.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If killed, then killed, what's to dare or not dare about? You wouldn't think that I was joking with you earlier, right? Oh, right, you even guaranteed it with your head just now. Now, can you take it down?"
Rumble!
Cloudsky's divine king domain suddenly erupted, sweeping over towards Ye Yuan instantly.
"Ji brat, I'm going to tear you to pieces!"
Cloudsky roared as he rushed over!
Cloudsky was one of the Holy City's three great titans. His strength connected to the heavens and penetrated the earth.
His strength was not what ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses were able to compare to.
One could say that Cloudsky was the Divine Realm's true apex existence.
Below the Ten Great Divine Kings, he reigned supreme!
The moment the divine king domain opened up, it enveloped Ye Yuan inside instantly.
However, Ye Yuan was long prepared and completely did not give Cloudsky any chance at all.
The instant that Cloudsky's divine king domain opened up, Ye Yuan's figure already merged into heaven and earth, escaping outside the Heavenly Saint Tower with a flash.
How could Cloudsky allow Ye Yuan to flee? He immediately chased outside.
"Pass down the order, seal the city gates! I want to see if this brat really can't be killed!"
Outside the Heavenly Saint Tower, Cloudsky and Ye Yuan faced each other across a great distance.
He was already beyond furious and completely did not care about the matter that Ye Yuan was the son of heaven's mandate.
He only knew that he had to kill Ye Yuan today.
However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of running away. He still stood there in a collected manner.
Looking at Cloudsky from a distance, Ye Yuan said with a calm smile, "Old punk Cloudsky, you don't have to be like this. This young master hasn't played enough yet. How would I leave readily? Come, come, come, I've long heard that the Holy City's three titans' strengths are exceedingly formidable. This Ji wants to experience it today, whether or not it's really as powerful as in the rumors!"
Cloudsky snorted coldly and said, "Fine. Since you're not running, then this lord will let you witness what's true might!"
Cloudsky's divine king domain opened fully. The entire Holy City was shaken!
The radius that his divine king domain covered was too large.
The horrifying aura that came from inside virtually made people asphyxiated.
A hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth. His figure became erratic all of a sudden.
When Cloudsky saw this scene, his gaze involuntarily turned intent!
With his strength, he was actually unable to lock onto Ye Yuan!
"This … This brat's heart realm actually already reached the realm of perfection! Heaven Man Unity! Heaven Man Unity! Damn it! How on earth did this punk do it? Since I'm unable to use aura to lock on, then I'll directly annihilate you! Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder!" Cloudsky said indignantly.
Above the sky, turned into a sea of lightning, enveloping the 10 thousand foot radius that Ye Yuan was in inside entirely.
Cloudsky's divine king domain actually reached a terrifying 10 thousand feet!
This terrifying undulation shocked the entire Holy City.
Only at this moment did people know that Wu Yuanqiao, who was known as the Thundercry Divine King, was simply not worth mentioning in front of Cloudsky!
This was a true peak powerhouse!
That violent lightning ocean could simply obliterate everything!
Back then, the Spirit Bristle Divine King exterminating a hundred divine king powerhouses with the power of flames, was also nothing more than this!
"S-So strong! How did Lord Qingyun Zi provoke Lord Cloudsky? This time, it's really dying without even leaving dregs behind."
"Truly didn't think that Lord Cloudsky's strength is already terrifying to such an extent! Looking at the power of this divine king domain, his strength is probably already not beneath the Ten Great Divine Kings, right?"
"Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder! This is the Divine Realm's most powerful domain of lightning power! The Holy City's three titans are indeed all not ordinary people!"
Such tremendous undulations naturally incurred large numbers of powerhouses to surround and watch. Everyone was unbelievably shocked towards Cloudsky's Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder.
Such a grand occasion, how many years had it not appeared already?"
Chapter 1122 - Greater Teleportation!
Quite a few people were very sympathetic towards Ye Yuan. The consequences of angering Lord Cloudsky was not that fun.
The price was death!
But right at this time, Cloudsky's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Behind Cloudsky, inside the void, a peerless sword light tore through the air, akin to a falling star, falling fiercely to the ground.
"Ji Qingyun, you dare?!"
Cloudsky's eyes turned bloodshot, but looking at that sword light in the distance, he felt powerless.
Ye Yuan was able to hear his roar, but the sword light could not hear it.
With a boom, a tiled building was directly ruined by the sword light, kicking up clouds of dust.
"No way, right? What happened just now? Wasn't Ji Qingyun trapped by Lord Cloudsky inside the Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder? How did he run over there?"
"That sword light of Ji Qingyun's … was so strong! Isn't he just Fifth Level Dao Profound? How could he release such a powerful attack?"
"No, wait! That direction … seems to be the Purple-Gold Hall! This … This is severing the lineage! Ji Qingyun, what ruthless means!"
The Holy City's powerhouses spoke at great lengths unceasingly. Only now, did they discover that the direction Ye Yuan attacked was actually the Purple-Gold Hall!
What kind of place was the Purple-Gold Hall?
That was the Holy City's future!
Each disciple inside were all peerless geniuses that the Holy City spent countless resources to groom.
This baffling sword of Ye Yuan's was actually going to eliminate those Purple-Gold Hall's disciples!
He already killed Guo Xu. Annihilating the Purple-Gold Hall's powerhouses, the blow to the Holy City was tremendous.
Although this move was rather vicious, Ye Yuan did not have much sympathy in his heart.
The price of this sin was death!
Ever since becoming aware of the Yu Soul Sect's actions and conduct, as well as the Holy City's attitude, Ye Yuan had the idea of destroying the Holy City.
This kind of sect existing in the world, even continuing the shameless behavior for a million years, was simply the Divine Realm's nightmare.
Cloudsky they all still had this sort of attitude toward the fiend race. It indicated that the Holy City's style was already penetrated deep into the bones and was simply hard to change anymore.
Since there was no way of changing, then let him destroy it.
Currently, Ye Yuan was not the three titans' match yet. But it did not impede him from claiming a bit of interest first.
At this time, wailing cries echoed out inside the Purple-Gold Hall.
"Second Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother! You guys … why have you guys departed?"
"Senior Apprentice Brother, seems like … seems like our Divine King Realm senior brothers all … all died!
"This … Who in the world did this?"
Ye Yuan did not annihilate them completely. Under the great circle of perfection Heaven Man Unity, he was able to clearly sense the situation of those disciples in the Purple-Gold Hall.
This streak of sword light, he was targeting those Divine King Realm disciples.
"Ji Qingyun, you … you'll die a horrible death! Such an inhuman and brutal thing, you're actually capable of it!" Cloudsky pointed at Ye Yuan and let loose a torrent of abuse.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a calm look, "Your Yu Soul Sect has powerhouses being born every generation. Zhuge Qingxuan is even hailed as the Divine Realm's number one divine king! But you all watch on with folded arms regarding the matter of the fiend race's invasion. Think about it, how many people are plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering because of you! Several tragic wars, you all stayed aloof from the matter. Comparing cruelty, comparing shamelessness, this Ji … is truly far off."
Ye Yuan's words were akin to rolling thunder, resounding throughout all major streets and small alleys in the Holy City.
Although everyone had not heard before the great name of the Yu Soul Sect, Ye Yuan's meaning was already very clear.
For a moment, there was another wave of commotion.
Cloudsky's face was livid with rage, hating Ye Yuan to the bones.
Of course, he was more regretful now!
If he did not allow Ye Yuan to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness back then and chased him away with forceful measures, perhaps there would not be so much trouble.
Now, the consequence caused by a wrong decision made in a moment of weakness was too severe.
"Nangong Zifeng, what are you still waiting for?! All Void Mystic martial artists obey my command, everybody attack together and eradicate Ji Qingyun!" Cloudsky said solemnly.
There was a series of ripples in the void. Six to seven figures surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle at the same time, cutting off all of his escape routes!
A purple-robed powerhouse stepped out slowly and looked at Ye Yuan with a frown as he said, "This boy's heart realm broke through to the realm of perfection and already comprehended the art of greater teleportation. Unless Qingxuan is here, no one can make him stay."
This purple-robed powerhouse was precisely one of the three titans, Nangong Zifeng!
Nangong Zifeng's words stirred up massive waves in the crowd.
"Art of greater teleportation! It's actually the art of greater teleportation! No wonder Lord Cloudsky's Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder couldn't do anything to Ye Yuan either!"
"Art of greater teleportation is an extremely profound spatial secret art. Rumors have it … that this is a magical ability that only Deity Realm powerhouses can comprehend!"
"This Ji Qingyun is simply too monstrous! It's fine if his Alchemy Dao talent is strong, didn't think that resurrecting again, even his martial path talent became so terrifying as well."
"The Holy City's two great titans moved out at the same time and actually can't do anything to him either, and even had their lineage severed by Ji Qingyun. If this were to spread out, the Holy City's face would be utterly lost!"
The art of greater teleportation was actually the upgraded version of merging into heaven and earth.
When Heaven Man Unity reached the great circle of perfection, one's comprehension of heaven and earth would reach a higher level.
Within a certain radius, the martial artist could reach another spatial node as they pleased, making people incapable of grasping.
Even Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, this kind of Void Mystic powerhouses whose divine king domains reached 10 thousand feet, were also unable to lock onto Ye Yuan.
However, Ye Yuan's current cultivation realm was on the low side. At most, he could only teleport roughly a 10 thousand feet distance.
It was just that these 10 thousand feet were already sufficient.
The art of greater teleportation was not an exclusive right of Deity Realm powerhouses. It was just that those able to use the art of greater teleportation in the legends were all Deity Realm powerhouses. Hence, that was why these martial artists would have this kind of mistaken cognition.
Casting the art of greater teleportation, one's heart realm must reach Heaven Man Unity's great circle of perfection.
This was an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, even during the Divine Dao Era.
Even if the Divine Dao Era powerhouses cultivated Essence, Energy, and Spirit to the great circle of perfection, they might not be able to cultivate heart realm to perfection either.
Hence, Divine King powerhouses who used the art of greater teleportation were virtually non-exis
tent!
Cloudsky looked at Ye Yuan from far away, his face livid with rage.
How could he not know that he could not make Ye Yuan stay? But this current sort of situation, what else could he do?
"Ji Qingyun, your cultivation increasing greatly is also all thanks to the Holy City. Why not we each take a step back. You leave the Holy City, and we'll let today's incident pass, just treat it like nothing happened, how's that?" Nangong Zifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Pffft …
These words actually made Ye Yuan laugh.
"What are you laughing at, Ji Qingyun?" Cloudsky said in a deep voice.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I'm laughing at your shamelessness! This Bloodrain Wilderness is the medicine garden of the ancient Heaven One Sect. You guys took forcible possession of it. Now, using it to treat it as a favor, isn't it funny?"
"You!" Cloudsky could not help being rendered speechless.
But his inner-heart was endlessly shocked. Looks like Ye Yuan really entered the seventh level. Otherwise, how could he know so many ancient secrets?
Chapter 1123 - Easier to Call up an Evil Spirit Than to Allay It
"Ji Qingyun, you comprehended greater teleportation. But … those subordinates of yours didn't comprehend it! Do you think that they can escape the Holy City?" Nangong Zifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and finally knew why Nangong Zifeng did not show up all along.
It looked like this guy had been preparing a contingency plan the whole time!
It was naturally impossible for a sly old fox like Cloudsky to give Ye Yuan opportunities on the Heavenly Dao Oath.
His oath was merely just up until Ye Yuan exited the Bloodrain Wilderness.
Now that Ye Yuan came out, the oath naturally ended here too.
The Holy City could not touch Ye Yuan, but they naturally could turn the blades onto Ao Qian they all.
"If you dare to touch them once, I'll kill a Void Mystic powerhouse! I'm not the two of your match, but the others, you can give it a try!" Ye Yuan said with a frosty expression.
Ao Qian they all followed him and braved through fire and water. Ye Yuan had long viewed them as bosom friends already.
