At this time, he had the exhilaration of face-slapping!
Weren't you making me take my own life? Now, I'll see how you posture still!
He knew that Netherkill's strength advanced by leaps and bounds these few years and already reached Seventh Level Dao Profound!
Furthermore, behind Netherkill was his master!
Ye Yuan looked at Coldblood with an amused look and said smilingly, "If I want to kill you, nobody can stop it."
Coldblood laughed loudly and said, "Who doesn't know how to brag?! Ye Yuan, do you really take us 12 Exalts to be someone who only knows how to eat rice and do nothing?"
Back then, in the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, a large group of the 12 Exalts died. Now, these 12 Exalts, clearly changed another batch.
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored Coldblood as well and said to Netherkill, "Have Sikong Shang come. This young master came to return the enmity of a palm!"
Netherkill said, "Master is already on the way over. He says that he needs your divine artifact!"
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Is that so? Then you let him hurry up. Oh, right, this young master will send you on your way first. Looking at you occupy this bag of skin, this young master feels disgusted!"
The moment his voice faded, Ye Yuan's expression turned cold. A terrifying soul force erupted out!
Buzz!
Everyone had yet to understand what was going on, and Netherkill already toppled to the ground softly.
With Ye Yuan's current soul force, wanting to obliterate a clone of Sikong Shang was seriously too easy.
What he wanted was Netherkill's intact corpse!
Seeing Netherkill talking to him, the rage in Ye Yuan's heart could not be suppressed anymore, and directly erupted.
Chiii!
Ye Yuan's sword finger rose up, the other 10 great exalts turned to dust in a blink of an eye.
Coldblood was completely dumbfounded!
The Seventh Level Dao Profound Netherkill was killed so easily by a divine soul attack?
Also, ten great exalts were obliterated without even drawing their weapons?
Just how powerful was the current Ye Yuan?
However, Ye Yuan's words stirred up massive waves among the crowd.
"Sikong Shang? I-Isn't this the name of the Darkness Divine King?"
"Could it be that behind Exalt Netherkill, was actually the Darkness Divine King? Doesn't this mean that the Chaotic Devil Sea is actually the Darkness Divine King's domain?"
"Ye Yuan said that he wanted to challenge the Darkness Divine King just now? If he isn't crazy, then he really has this strength. Then, he … is the Heaven Surmounting Divine King?"
The information revealed in Ye Yuan's words messed everyone up.
While Coldblood stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with despair!
Heaven Surmounting Divine King!
Ye Yuan actually really became the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!
I … Just what kind of a terrifying adversary did I provoke?
Thud!
Coldblood directly knelt down towards Ye Yuan and wailed, "Heaven Surmounting Divine King, it was Coldblood who failed to recognize Mount Tai even though I had eyes! Your Excellency, be magnanimous and let … let this lowly one take my own life! I … I was wrong!"
Coldblood knew that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was seriously too great!
As long as Ye Yuan did not agree, he could not accomplish it even if he wanted to die.
At this time, he already had no hopes of getting lucky in his heart, and only hoped for a quick death.
But this already became a luxury.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "This young master already gave you a chance, but it was you who didn't cherish it yourself!"
While talking, Ye Yuan held a pale flame up in the palm of his hand.
This flame made people palpitate with anxiety and fear.
The color on Coldblood's face instantly faded away clean!
"Go!"
Ye Yuan's palm lightly thrust. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame directly burned Coldblood's physical body clean, then wrapped around his divine soul and flew to Ye Yuan's side.
Ye Yuan retrieved a small bottle and stored Coldblood's divine soul inside.
He would refine Coldblood's divine soul for seven-by-seven, 49 days, finally turning into nothingness, never to reincarnate for all of eternity!
The current Coldblood was merely a minor character to him.
The reason why he went through all this trouble was just in order to let Coldblood experience the taste of despair, and use it to memorialize Tan Si's spirit in heaven.
Ye Yuan put away Netherkill's fleshly body and Tan Si's tablet. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled and he taunted, "Sikong Shang, these lackeys had followed you for a number of years at any rate, you actually passively watched them be killed just like that?"
Ye Yuan's words made everyone's heart jolt.
When did the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, already arrive?
A black silhouette slowly walked out from within the void, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, "Just a bunch of ants; inconsequential to this seat. What this seat is more interested in is your divine artifact."
Chapter 1200 - Coward
"The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is challenging the Darkness Divine King? Is Ye Yuan crazy? Doesn't he know that there's a massive chasm between the fifth level and sixth level?"
"Looks like they seem to have considerable enmity between them! It seems like entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, a major conflict happened between the two."
"Oh, right, didn't the Heaven's Secret Tower said that the Ten Great Divine Kings would have some changes recently? Could it be … referring to this showdown between them?"
"The Heaven's Secret Tower is truly too terrifying to actually be able to predict even this sort of thing. Well-deserving of 'Heaven's Secret,' these two words!"
...
Ye Yuan and Sikong Shang were all set for a showdown, immediately drawing many speculations.
The Heaven's Secret Tower was spread throughout the Divine Realm. Even though the Chaotic Devil Sea was relatively out-of-the-way, they also already knew the news that the Ten Great Divine Kings was going to have some changes.
The mysterious Darkness Divine King rarely revealed anything in the Divine Realm. Nobody knew how formidable his strength was either.
But without a doubt, for him to be able to stabilize in fifth place, his strength must be very terrifying.
Hearing that Sikong Shang was coveting his divine artifact still, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The divine artifact is right here. As long as you can kill me, it's all yours."
"Then … this seat will come and take it."
Sikong Shang's faint voice sounded out. All of a sudden, the skies turned dark.
His voice showed disdain on everything as if there was nothing that he could take notice of at all.
Even if Ye Yuan was similarly of the Ten Great Divine Kings, he did not take it to heart at all.
The blood-red colored sky was completely shrouded by darkness at this time.
Very soon, the surroundings became completely dark, unable to see one's fingers when extending one's hands.
At the same time, countless terrified voices accompanied it.
"I … I can't see anything!"
"What's going on here? I … I can't sense the surrounding essence energy anymore!"
"My God, my essence energy is currently rapidly flowing away!"
...
Sikong Shang was worthy of the title 'Darkness.' The moment he made his move, it was as if he was going to plunder everything.
These martial artists were unable to see. Furthermore, the surroundings felt like the surrounding essence energy was completely cut off.
Not just so, inside this region of dark space, their essence energy was flowing away rapidly, even if they did not
employ any martial technique or cultivation method.
This style of fighting was simply too unreasonable.
In the darkness, came Sikong Shang's indifferent voice.
"This seat knows that you're the newly-ascended sixth divine king. But to this seat, it's all the same! The last time, because this seat was in closed-seclusion in the depths of the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, you were lucky to escape. Didn't expect that this time, you actually delivered yourself to the doorstep to seek death. Then … this seat won't be courteous anymore. Despair and die in this darkness then!"
Suddenly, a terrifying devouring force came from inside the darkness. Ye Yuan felt that the essence energy within his body was actually flowing away rapidly!
This Darkness Concept carried the power of Divine Dao laws and was capable of devouring everything.
All connection between this darkness and outside world was completely cut off.
Experiencing the initial panic, those martial artists' emotions finally settled down.
They knew that the Darkness Divine King was not targeting them.
Ye Yuan, who was situated in the center of the darkness, should be the one losing all hope at this time.
"Indeed worthy of being the fifth divine king! This martial technique of the Darkness Divine King is too unreasonable!"
"Yeah! Can't see, can't touch, essence energy is even being devoured, how to fight still?"
"The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is in danger. He was too reckless to actually dare challenge a divine king ranked in the top five. Isn't this courting death?"
"Looks like Heaven's Secret Tower's changes this time is to strike Ye Yuan's name off the list."
...
Not that they were looking down on Ye Yuan, but because this move of Sikong Shang was too terrifying.
Nobody had seen before the Darkness Divine King attack. But the moment he made his move, it shocked the world.
The Darkness Concept was an extremely difficult to comprehend concept in the first place. For the Darkness Divine King to be able to comprehend it to such a boundary, it was simply unheard of.
Cutting off essence energy, was equivalent to severing the martial artist's lifeline.
Reaching Divine King, this sort of realm, one relied on comprehension towards Heavenly Dao and maneuvered heaven and earth essence energy to battle.
To a Divine King powerhouse, being unable to mobilize heaven and earth essence energy and merely rely on their own essence energy to match powers with the opponent, this was simply no different from courting death.
But the Darkness Divine King cut off all of the essence energy savagely and unreasonably just like this!
Furthermore, this darkness could even hasten the martial artist's essence energy consumption. Under this situation where one party's strength declined while the other's strength increased, there was no way to fight at all.
In their view, this move simply had no chink in the armor.
Probably, even if the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King came, he would have a terrible headache too, right?
Time slowly trickled by, but Ye Yuan did not have any movements at all.
While the Darkness Divine King did not seem to be anxious either. He laid low inside the darkness all along and did not make a move.
The world seemed to have fallen into deathly stillness.
"You don't seem to be worried at all." Suddenly, Sikong Shang broke the silence.
"Why do I have to be worried? Just based on this lousy move of yours?" Ye Yuan's words exuded thick mockery.
"Huhu, you're very interesting, different from the people I've killed in the past." Sikong Shang did not get angry and still said calmly.
Ye Yuan was silent and only said after a long time, "You … killed You Wuya and deserve to die!"
"Are you talking about Netherkill? This boy's talent was pretty good. Being selected by this seat to become a clone was his honor. According to what I know, you shouldn't seem to have any interactions with him?" Sikong Shang said very apathetically as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter.
Ye Yuan fell silent once more. He was utterly infuriated by Coldblood, this fellow.
But the more enraged he got, the more terrifyingly calm he became.
"He's considered half a master to me!" Ye Yuan said.
"Like this huh, no wonder. It's too bad, you're going to follow in his footsteps too. Alright, time is almost up. This seat should send you on your way already. Bring out your divine artifact; otherwise, there won't be a chance anymore," Sikong Shang said indifferently.
"There's no need for a divine artifact to deal with you."
"Huhu, what a confident young man."
Sikong Shang laughed mockingly and brazenly attacked!
In the darkness, a large hand smacked over towards Ye Yuan's back noiselessly.
The killing intent of this move condensed and did not dissipate. It was no different from an arrow shot from hiding in this darkness because there was not a hint of omen beforehand.
Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious and still had his back faced towards this palm.
In the darkness, a hint of a cold smile flashed past the corners of Sikong Shang's mouth.
As expected, only knew how to boast, was it?
Swoosh!
Suddenly, Sikong Shang's smile froze on his face.
This palm struck nothing!
Just earlier, Ye Yuan's figure shifted an angle bizarrely, and actually narrowly avoided this blow!
It must be a fluke!
In the darkness, Sikong Shang adjusted the angle and smacked a palm towards Ye Yuan once more.
However, it missed again!
"Huhu, is the exalted Darkness Divine King just a coward who sneak attacks people from the back?"
In the darkness, came Ye Yuan's mocking words.
With this, Sikong Shang finally knew that this was not a fluke!
Ye Yuan really knew where he unleashed his palm from!
"You can perceive me?" In Sikong Shang's words, they carried thick uncertainty.
This darkness was absolute darkness; could not see any light at all.
And Sikong Shang's figure could merge perfectly into this darkness.
Forget about eyes, even perception was unable to discover him too!
Yet, Ye Yuan could!
Chapter 1201 - Explosion Rune
"What do you think?"
Ye Yuan's words were filled with thick ridicule.
This martial technique of Sikong Shang's that resembled the power of domain was indeed incomparably powerful.
It was too bad that his opponent was Ye Yuan!
Grand completion heart realm made Ye Yuan's perception powers far exceed ordinary people.
The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil even let Ye Yuan possess unparalleled ocular powers!
Sikong Shang assumed a serious attitude towards the matter. But in Ye Yuan's view, he was just a clown jumping around.
This limitless darkness was not much different from daytime in front of Ye Yuan.
This darkness just cut off essence energy but was unable to cut off natural laws. Ye Yuan's movement technique was not affected.
"Terrific, lad! Indeed, you have some capabilities. It was this seat who underestimated you." Sikong Shang was extremely shocked and furious.
As the most mysterious existence among the Ten Great Divine Kings, he normally rarely made a move. But he had full confidence in his own strength.
He did not expect that he was actually made such a joke of by a junior.
"Is that so? I overestimated you! I even thought how formidable the fifth divine king was. Didn't expect that … you were too weak to stand up to the competition!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
One sentence, made Sikong Shang's face somber to the extreme.
"Brat, don't talk too big when boasting. Careful, the wind might sprain your tongue!"
Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Want to sprain this young master's tongue, you got to bring out a bit of true capabilities.
"
"Since you're so anxious to seek death, then this seat will fulfill your wish!"
Sikong Shang's expression turned cold, and a palm smacked out from within the darkness. Terrifying killing intent instantly swept across the entire space.
This palm force seemed to want to shatter this space!
"Abyss Netherworld Palm!"
The hint of a light smile curled up at the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth as he opened his mouth and said, "That's a bit more interesting! As expected, your Slaughter Concept isn't for show! This palm is powerful enough!"
"Conceited brat, prepare to die!"
Sikong Shang was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan's attitude.
This palm, Sikong Shang went all out. Berserk Slaughter Concept made the space start to tremble.
Ye Yuan laughed coldly. The power of his fleshy body instantly erupted, his entire body taking on a golden color!
Nine Transformations Golden Body!
The Ye Yuan who had been taciturn all along finally erupted!
The current Ye Yuan was just like the rising sun, lighting up the dark night!
Those martial artists looked at Ye Yuan in the sky, akin to the reincarnation of a god or buddha, his body exuding the aura of beholding a great mountain from top to bottom.
"This … What kind of martial technique is this?! To actually be able to break the Darkness Divine King's Silent Extermination Domain!"
"S-So strong! Why do I actually have a feeling of blood boiling with righteous indignation when I see the Heaven Surmounting Divine King's martial technique?"
"What a fine Heaven Surmounting Divine King! This … is really going to ride above the ninth heaven!"
Ye Yuan's berserk aura made everyone's face changed drastically.
Turns out that up till now, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King did not truly bring out his strength at all!
This was the true Heaven Surmounting Divine King!
"Nine Transformations Golden Body! This … How is this possible?"
Those people did not recognize the Nine Transformations Golden Body, but Sikong Shang recognized it.
In his understanding, this was simply not what a Tier 9 martial artist should be capable of possessing.
