The human powerhouses' morale soared, and they directly pounced over.
The fiend race fought while beating a retreat, returning in great defeat!
"Hahaha, we won!"
"Long live the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"
"The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is mighty!"
This battle was a complete victory. By slaying a fiendgod, Ye Yuan was already viewed by them as a god-like existence.
The human martial artists were all incomparably excited. Looking at the Ye Yuan in the sky, their faces were full of worship.
From being besieged on all sides to gaining a complete victory, the Ethereal Sect's battle was fought to one's heart's content.
This kind of refreshing feeling practically made every pore of theirs open up and relax!
But the faces of Xu Guangyin and the four great families' powerhouses were not too good.
The Heaven Surmounting Divine King was clearly targeting the fiend race. But they actually refused to help the Ethereal Sect previously.
If the Heaven Surmounting Divine King squared the accounts after the harvest, they would find themselves in serious trouble!
After a bout of celebration, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said, "The fiend race's might, I believe that you all have already felt it profoundly!"
Everyone all secretly nodded their heads. After the excitement, each and every one of them also had lingering fear in their hearts when they recalled the fiend race's might.
Although this battle was won, it was a Pyrrhic victory too!
Putting aside the fiend race martial artists, just those fiend slaves, their strengths were already much stronger compared to them before.
While the fiend race martial artists' strengths were even more terrifyingly powerful.
In the same realm, fighting one-on-two was no problem at all!
Furthermore, they also discovered that the fiend race was very difficult to be killed.
Such an opponent seriously made people despair.
Today, if not for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King battling the three great fiendgods, forget about the Ethereal Sect, even the four great families would probably be utterly exterminated too!
Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone and spoke up again. He said, "The human race has already reached the point of life and death! Sectarian bias will only hasten our destruction! Starting from today, my Mystic Gate will come into being and resist the fiend race! My Mystic Gate welcomes any human martial artist in the Divine Realm to join. When the fiend race is quelled and wiped out, the Mystic Gate will immediately disband!"
Chapter 1218 - Heading for Godsfall Mountain Range!
Mountains and rivers shattered, sects collapsed; how many living creatures turned to ashes?
When all the human martial artists were at feeling the most hesitant and lost, the appearance of the Mystic Gate was like raising up a flag banner, letting people find the way.
The fiend race wreaked havoc. The human territories virtually had no place for them to shelter themselves already.
The fiend race was too powerful!
Putting aside their formidable strength, they could even turn human martial artists into fiend slaves. The more they fought, the more there were, just like a plague.
"Did you guys hear? The Heaven Surmounting Divine King formed an organization called Mystic Gate, which specializes in dealing with the fiend race!"
"I'm going to seek refuge with the Mystic Gate right now! The Holy City, that bunch of guys, is simply trash! They normally make use of the Alchemist Association and acc.u.mulate wealth greedily without restraint. Now that the human race is in danger, they don't even let out a fart. What a disappointment!"
"The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is the hero in troubled times! I heard that the Ethereal Sect battle, he resisted three great fiendgods by himself. Not only was he completely unscathed, he even slew a fiendgod. Truly too powerful!"
"Fiendgods are former Deity Realm powerhouses. I heard that they were totally unkillable! Even the Divine Dao Era's major powers could only suppress them. But the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually cut down a fiendgod! His strength is simply unimaginable!"
With the Ethereal Sect battle, Ye Yuan's reputation spread among the human race powerhouses very quickly.
Following the fiend calamity's eruption, they already gradually realized that this was a race extermination crisis!
The fiend race's aggressiveness was too strong, virtually unable to eradicate them totally.
After all, people who were able to be like Ye Yuan, directly killing the fiend race, were not many.
For some time, countless human powerhouses flocked towards the Demon Region one after another.
At this time, inside the dragon clan, many powerhouses were gathered together.
"Your Excellency, the Four Symbols Family Clans already each hewed out some areas to use to help settle down the human race martial artists. However, some martial artists are not that compliant with the rules. Incidents of creating a disturbance happen time and again …"
The one currently reporting to Ye Yuan about the settlement situation of the human martial artists was precisely the Cao Yunzhi, who had a hand cut off by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan also did not think that this Cao Yunzhi was a skilled manager.
He arranged an elder position for Cao Yunzhi. His status in the Mystic Gate was second only to the various major mystic lords.
This arrangement made Cao Yunzhi extremely excited.
Cao Yunzhi, this person, had a great d.e.s.i.r.e for fame and wealth. Ye Yuan gave him a lot of authority as well. This made him extremely satisfied, settling down all sorts of bad characters every day for all that he was worth.
Of course, settling down was just the first step. More importantly was still management.
The Divine Realm's martial artists numbered more than billions. Even though the ones that flooded in were just a very small portion of it, the number was also extremely massive.
Among them, the majority of the people were all itinerant cultivators and were even stubborn and unruly.
How to make these people wait obediently was a major academic question in itself.
Cao Yunzhi racked his brains every day, running back and forth between these settlement locations, but also enjoyed it without feeling tired.
Hearing Cao Yunzhi's report, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Use severe punishment in troubled times, don't need to be courteous with them! Those who cause trouble must be severely punished! One person causes trouble, punish one person. One family clan cause trouble, expel the family clan out of the Demon Region! About this, you don't need me to teach you, right? Rather, how's the completion of the army's recruitment going?"
Cao Yunzhi revealed a troubled look and said, "Replying Your Excellency, right now, according to Your Excellency's method of drawing one in every ten, we've already recruited the first batch of our army. Right now, these people are already thrown into training. Before long, they will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, pretty well done! With the war starting, there's also not much time to train anymore. My requirement for them isn't high either, as long as they can defend the Demon Region, it's enough! This human-fiend war ultimately still has to fall on the two great heavenly fiendgods. If they don't die, the war will never be able to end."
The martial artist world's wars were forever that pinnacle great battle.
The rest were merely fish in the moat caught in the crossfire.
Only the victor between Kanuo and Ye Yuan could win the final victory of this war.
"Haha, Big Brother, you fought three great fiendgods alone. This battle was truly uplifting! At present, the White Tiger Clan has already merged into one with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and became one family. Our Demon Region has already banded together into one rope! As long as you, Big Brother, have any instructions, my White Tiger Clan will forge ahead unflinchingly even if we have to go throu
gh fire and water!"
These few days that Ye Yuan was not around, White Light already grew to become a true powerhouse!
He practically used his strength alone and united the White Tiger Clan.
The present White Light's strength was already comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings. His strength was very terrifying.
"Ye Yuan, if the Heaven's Secret Tower redo the rankings now, you'd probably already be the well-deserved number one divine king! Even Zhuge Qingxuan likely can't match up to you as well!" Teng Yun said with a laugh.
Witnessing Ye Yuan's freakish defensive power on that day, Teng Yun was already utterly convinced.
That kind of attack, he touched his heart and was certain that he absolutely could not withstand it either.
And if letting him unleash an attack, although his Nine Sun Burning Heaven was powerful, it did not reach the three great fiendgods' level either.
If one could not breach Ye Yuan's defenses, everything was in vain.
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Zhuge Qingxuan is merely a clown jumping around. This young master has never placed him in my sights. What I'm truly worried about is still Kanuo and Yue Ji! Brother Teng, with that battle that day, the fiend race should restrain themselves a little now. Tomorrow, I plan on setting off for the Godfalls Mountain Range. The matters of the Mystic Gate will be entrusted to you!"
"This … Are you really going?" Teng Yun could not help choking up when he heard that. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually setting off so soon.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Kanuo muffling the war drums and lowering the banners, he must be preparing for his final breakthrough. Once he fully recovers to strength rivaling Origin Deity Realm, none of us will be his match! The present Divine Realm doesn't have a staggering major power like Senior Absolute Heaven anymore. Hence, ordinary methods cannot possibly salvage the human race's losing trend at all! Cultivating by following standard routine is just sitting and waiting for death!"
Teng Yun also heaved a sigh when he heard and said, "The Godsfall Mountain Range is too perilous. That Kunwu Divine Wood is even harder to deal with. This trip of yours, you need to take good care of yourself! You're the human race's only hope. Even if it's for the human race, nothing must happen to you too!"
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Isn't it said that I'm the son of heaven's mandate? How can I die so easily? Brother Teng rest assured. Maybe when I return, I'll become the Divine Realm's first Deity Realm powerhouse in 100 thousand years!"
Ye Yuan was laughing, but the rest could not laugh.
It was indeed very difficult for them to face the fiend race's attack.
But the danger that Ye Yuan was facing was a hundred times greater than theirs!
The Divine Realm's powerhouses, even if it was Heaven Stabilizing and Spirit Bristle, this kind of powerhouses, did not dare to venture too deep into the Godsfall Mountain Range either.
But Ye Yuan had to enter into the depths of the Godsfall Mountain Range in order to search for the Kunwu Divine Wood this time.
It was said that that place, even if Deity Realm powerhouses entered, it was almost certain death too.
This departure, good or ill luck was hard to predict!
Furthermore, even if he really found the Kunwu Divine Wood, could he really break through to the Deity Realm?
With Heavenly Dao being missing presently, who dared to utter such big talk?
"I'll accompany you and go together, Big Brother!" White Light said without any hesitation.
Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Haha, you're my good brother!"
Chapter 1219 - Fake Goods
The Godsfall Mountain Range was vast, beyond hundreds of millions of miles.
It was at the extreme southern land of the Divine Realm. Nobody knew where its end lay.
Because no one could fly over the Godfalls Mountain Range!
Deity Realm powerhouses could not as well!
According to the legends of the Divine Realm, it was unknown how many Deity Realm powerhouses had fallen before in the Godsfall Mountain Range.
There had once been a Deity Realm powerhouse who attempted to forcefully fly through. But the further he flew, the more unstable the space was.
A moment of carelessness and it was hard for Deity Realm powerhouses to survive too.
But it seemed like in the Divine Dao Era, even if those Deity Realm powerhouses knew that this place was incomparably dangerous, they still swarmed over to this place like a flock of ducks.
Even if they were buried here, they would not flinch either.
Why they did this had long already become a mystery.
In the course of time, this place was termed Godsfall Mountain Range.
But to the present Divine Realm's powerhouses, the Godsfall Mountain Range was a treasure land.
Although this place was dangerous, it also contained countless opportunities.
In the stream of people, four figures were moving slowly.
These four people were precisely the Ye Yuan, White Light, Lu-er, as well as Yue Mengli, who came from afar.
Coming to the Godsfall Mountain Range this time, Ye Yuan's party made considerable changes to their appearances and also took Essence Sealing Pills, suppressing their realms to the boundary of Seventh to Eighth Level Dao Profound.
There was no guarantee that there would not be fiend race spies at the Godsfall Mountain Range. If they became aware of it, it would be no small danger to them.
Dealing with three fiendgods, Ye Yuan could still cope with it.
But if five attacked together, the result would be hard to say.
"Big Brother, why are there so many people at this Godsfall Mountain Range's entrance?" White Light wondered.
"The fiend calamity erupted. Apart from the Mystic Gate, probably only the Godsfall Mountain Range is the safest. But those who dare to come here more or less have some strength too," Ye Yuan said.
"Coming to the Godsfall Mountain Range to take refuge, are these people crazy? Before waiting for the fiend calamity to pass, they would probably all have to die here!" White Light said.
"Them coming here is nothing more than seizing that feeble ray of hope, wanting to obtain a supreme inheritance here and possess the strength to protect themselves." Ye Yuan said coolly.
"Heh, the fiend calamity erupting, all of them are thinking of escaping. They would rather face near-certain death here to seek out lucky chances than be willing to face the fiend race head-on, truly lamentable! Even if these people obtained supreme inheritances, would they really be like you and Senior Fang Tian, fighting for the human race?" White Light said disdainfully.
Ye Yuan also heaved a sigh and said, "Leave everything up to fate! Perhaps among these people, there would really be somebody who can obtain a heaven-defying legacy and break through the shackles? Heaven will always leave a door open. If I can't do it, I also hope that others can come forward."
Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan also had no assurance in his heart whether he could succeed or not.
Putting aside whether or not he could find the Kunwu Divine Wood, even if he really found it, he was not confident enough that the Dao Defying Pill was truly able to traverse while defying Dao. Ye Yuan did not have any assurance at all.
"Quick! Quickly go over and take a look. I heard that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King also came to the Godsfall Mountain Range!"
"What? Heaven Surmounting Divine King! He's a great hero of the human race. Isn't he currently resisting the fiend race at the Demon Region right now? How could he appear here?"
"I heard that he wanted to come here to look for an opportunity to breakthrough and fight against the fiend race!"
"Then what are we still waiting for? Hurry and go take a look!"
The four people were currently walking through the mountain path when they suddenly heard a group of people currently discussing animatedly.
Hearing these remarks, the other three people all used strange expressions to look at Ye Yuan.
; The Heaven Surmounting Divine King really came. But looking at those few people's attitudes, they were clearly not here for Ye Yuan.
Could it be that there was a second Heaven Surmounting Divine King?
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Looking at me for what? Wouldn't we know if we go over a take a look?"
White Light laughed and said, "Haha, of course, we have to go and take a look! I want to see just what kind of character this Heaven Surmounting Divine King is!"
At this time, a Seventh Level Dao Profound martial artist coincidentally walked past them. Hearing White Light's burst of laughter, he could not help saying puzzledly, "You all never even heard of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King? Truly too out of touch with the outside world and ignorant of the state of affairs! Right now, the fiend race is wreaking havoc, and the six great fiendgod powerhouses are glaring like ravening tigers! That day, the Ethereal Sect battle, the Ethereal Sect originally already lost all hope, but the Heaven Surmounting Divine King suddenly descended from the sky. A dragon roar reverberated throughout heaven and earth, directly shocking one of the six great fiendgods to death, while the other five were seriously injured and fled …"
This martial artist spoke eloquently and unceasingly, narrating Ye Yuan's valiant achievements, making Ye Yuan click his tongue in wonder too.
From this guy's mouth, he was simply deified already.
Yue Mengli and Lu-er both covered their mouths and laughed, laughing until Ye Yuan's face turned somewhat red.
But that person was overflowing with enthusiasm, as he explained at one side. He was also embarrassed to chase the person away and could only thicken his face and resign himself to it.
Not far ahead was a piece of empty lot. At this time, a large group of people already crowded around on the empty space.
In the middle, a white-clothed youth had an imposing aura, valiant and heroic in bearing, with somewhat the air of an expert.
A man and a woman even stood beside the youth. The male was equally young, and the woman was also quite attractive.
"Lord Ye Yuan, can you tell us about the situation of the Ethereal Sect battle? We've already admired your demeanor for a long time!" A martial artist said with a captivated look.
