"You … You … You'll die a horrible death! Do you think that by breaking through to the Deity Realm, you can pass through the turbulent spatial flow? Ahh, ahhh … You're alone. It … it's impossible to pass through the turbulent spatial flow! You're dead for sure! Ahh, ahhh …"
"That I don't need you to worry about. Before that, you'd definitely be dead already!"
Ye Yuan lightly threw down a sentence, but turned around and walked to another place, leaving Kanuo there howling miserably.
He already set up various means, taking turns one by one, it would make Kanuo ecstatic to the extreme until he wished he was dead.
Not far away from Kanuo, a beautiful woman was similarly shackled in the air.
This person was naturally Yue Ji.
Compared to Kanuo, Yue Ji's treatment was much better. It was merely being imprisoned.
Seeing Ye Yuan walk in, a thick look of fear revealed in Yue Ji's eyes.
She completely did not expect that this young man actually inherited this dilapidated world, taking control of Heavenly Dao!
Even if Ye Yuan really broke through to Deity Realm, by relying on the Fiendsource Bead, it was also not possible for Kanuo to be defeated so thoroughly.
But, under the Heavenly Dao, they did not have the least bit of strength to resist at all.
"Kanuo's outcome, you saw it. Say the purpose of you guys coming here, I can give you all a quick death," Ye Yuan said coolly.
Under Ye Yuan's means, they could not even commit suicide.
Hence, granting Yue Ji death was already the greatest grace to her.
That extremely pitiful voice of Kanuo's still entered Yue Ji's ears repeatedly.
Yue Ji's face changed, falling silent.
Ye Yuan did not urge either, quietly waiting for Yue Ji to open her mouth.
He knew that Yue Ji would definitely capitulate.
Sure enough, before long, Yue Ji opened her mouth.
"We're here for those two empyrean spirit treasures in your hands. Of course, we were even planning on cultivating a demonic skill with the help of the living creatures here, and break through to the Divine Lord Realm!" Yue Ji said.
When saying these, she secretly looked to size up Ye Yuan, fearful that he would suddenly rampage.
However, Ye Yuan did not reveal any expression on his face. She could not guess what Ye Yuan was thinking at all.
"Who sent you all here?" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Yue Ji's gaze turned intent, and she said, "It … It was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang!"
The expression on Ye Yuan's face finally had a hint of change.
He never would have thought that behind Kanuo and Yue Ji, was actually a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!
A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, that was a powerhouse at the very apex of the Heavenspan World.
Originally, Ye Yuan was still planning on finding their main instigator behind the scenes. After he cultivated to a certain realm, he would then take revenge.
Looks like now, he had to give the matter further considerations.
"There's enmity between Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang?" Ye Yuan asked again.
Chapter 1282 - An Ant Trying to Topple a Tree
Yue Ji nodded her head and said, "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was a fiend race newly-ascended Heavenly Emperor a million years ago. Back then, he was an empyrean powerhouse at the height of his popularity along with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and several others. They all had extremely high hopes of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. And among them, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had been enemies for a long time already. After that, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang obtained a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit in a heavenly emperor world, and broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm first."
Ye Yuan's face fell, and he said, "It was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang who killed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove? And then sent you all here to seize treasures?"
Yue Ji gave a bitter laugh and said, "In the eyes of a heavenly emperor, we're merely ants. We haven't even reached the Divine Lord Realm, so how can we possibly reach Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang's level? Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was also not killed by Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang. His means were exceedingly formidable, even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse found it difficult to kill him too! Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang just severely wounded him. As for who killed him, it's unknown."
From Yue Ji's words, Ye Yuan had a preliminary impression of the Heavenspan World as well.
The Heavenspan World was similarly a world filled with slaughter and struggles. In fact, it might be even more brutal than the Immortal Grove Region.
Ye Yuan even suspected that because Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was too severely injured, he was killed by some thieves and the likes who were coveting treasures.
Except that had nothing much to do with Ye Yuan anymore.
Ye Yuan knew very little about Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and was far from talking about love or hate.
The Immortal Grove Region choosing himself was just a kind of instinctive protection towards the Heavenly Dao itself. It just thought that he could take on the responsibility.
Putting it bluntly, it was a kind of mutual exploitation.
While he did not fail to live up to the Heavenly Dao's expectations either, achieving his present realm.
This kind of inheritance was different from Long Teng's inheritance. Ye Yuan did not have the obligation to go and help him take revenge.
But Kanuo and Yue Ji were sent by Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, so that was different.
Disregarding that he was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, even if he was Dao Ancestor Jiu Shang, Ye Yuan would definitely eradicate him too!
It was just that looking at it now, the hope was very slim.
Ye Yuan did not speak, waiting for Yue Ji to continue talking.
"Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had always coveted Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove's Soul Suppressing Pearl and wanted to make it his own. Hence, that's why he sent Kanuo and me to search for the Immortal Grove Region. As a result, it was indeed found by us!" Yue Ji said.
Ye Yuan's gaze was scorching as he said, "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang already ascended to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, so why would he still covet an empyrean spirit treasure?"
Yue Ji smiled bitterly and said, "The rarity of heavenly emperor spirit treasures can be described seldom-seen! And the Soul Suppressing Pearl could be said to be top-grade among the masses! It was precisely because Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove had this empyrean spirit treasure, that he had always suppressed Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang. It's just that didn't expect that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang's luck was better than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove's. In the end, it was he who broke through first."
Ye Yuan nodded his head, finally having a rough understanding of the beginning and end of the fiend race's invasion.
"Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, is it? One day, I'll let you know that ants can topple trees too!"
Ye Yuan's gaze was sharp, seething with killing intent.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ji could not help being stunned.
This kind of big-talk, only this one in front of her dared to say it.
A heavenly emperor was the strongest existence in the Heavenspan World. Even Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, who had just ascended a million years ago, was also not what an empyrean world's ant could resist.
...
The great battle already stopped, but the Divine Realm was still making progress with no signs of stopping.
The entire human territory was already utterly destroyed by this war.
The original human race setup was already thoroughly smashed.
Countless human martial artists were turned into fiend slaves by Kanuo, and then utterly obliterated by that attack of Ye Yuan's.
The remaining humans returning to the human region anew were bound to experience a very long period of shuffling.
However, these were all not what Ye Y
uan was concerned about.
Humans were especially adept at the law of survival. Once time passed, they would definitely establish a new order.
When Ye Yuan returned to the dragon clan, Fang Tian led everyone over.
They naturally inquired about Mu Lingxue's situation right away.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Lingxue is fine for the time being. It's just that her situation is very bad. Senior, I came back to tell you all that I'm leaving! Brother Teng, the Divine Realm's matters in the future will have to trouble you."
Ye Yuan's words made everyone startled.
Fang Tian's expression changed, and he said, "Sure enough, are you going to the outside world?"
Ye Yuan revealed a look of surprise and immediately smiled and said, "Looks like Senior already guessed it! This world that we're in is merely a small world that a Martial Dao powerhouse opened up, called Immortal Grove Region! Outside, there's an even broader world! Want to save Lingxue, I have to go there!"
Even if Fang Tian already guessed it, hearing Ye Yuan say it out, he was still shaken to the core.
"Ye Yuan, just what realm are you at right now? It seems like the Deity Realm isn't as strong as you!" Fang Tian drew a deep breath and said.
When the others heard this, they also could not help perking their ears up.
This was the question that every one of them paid attention to!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I'm indeed initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm currently. It's just that my situation is somewhat special. If I really have to say, I'm barely considered half-master of the Immortal Grove Region."
"Hiss …"
Everyone drew a cold breath. This matter was not difficult to understand.
That was also to say that Ye Yuan was the Immortal Grove Region's true god!
A god that towered above all beings!
Recalling Ye Yuan's growth experiences, everyone felt like they were dreaming.
"Then … do we still have hopes of breaking through to the Deity Realm?" Teng Yun asked with fear and anxiety in his heart.
This question was similarly the question that everyone was most concerned with.
Since Ye Yuan broke through to Deity Realm, then could they … break through to the Deity Realm or not?
But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I induced Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, completing the Heavenly Dao of initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm within my body, obtaining Heavenly Dao's recognition from there. You guys are unable to replicate it."
Hearing Ye Yuan's reply, everyone's faces all involuntarily revealed a look of disappointment.
Ye Yuan smiled and continued, "But everybody rest assured, this is just temporary! As long as I can reach the outside world, when my strength increases in the future, I'll naturally have ways to make Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao rise again! At that time, all of you will be able to break through to the Deity Realm!"
One sentence made everyone pleasantly surprised.
Except, Fang Tian's expression was still somewhat unnatural. He discerned the overtones in Ye Yuan's words.
Everyone dispersed. There was only Fang Tian and Ye Yuan left inside the great hall.
Fang Tian said, "Ye Yuan, tell me honestly, this departure for the outside world probably won't be so smooth, right?"
Ye Yuan smiled. He knew that he could not hide from Fang Tian. Hence, he briefly recounted the matters of the turbulent spatial flow, including the riddle of the disappearance of the Deity Realm powerhouses 100 thousand years ago.
Fang Tian's heart shook when he heard this. He was aware how perilous that turbulent spatial flow was.
"No way! You definitely can't go! Over 100 thousand years ago, there were at least 100 Deity Realm powerhouses. They faced near certain death when banding up together and entering the turbulent spatial flow! You by yourself, how can you possibly pass through the turbulent spatial flow?" Fang Tian said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Senior, my mind is made up, don't urge anymore! Lingxue sacrificed her divine soul for me, how can I watch her die helplessly? Don't talk about near-certain death, even if it's a certain death, I have to brave it too!"
Seeing Ye Yuan's attitude, Fang Tian knew that he could not persuade. Hence, he let out a sigh and said, "You're a good boy that regards feelings and ties highly! Forget it, on your trip, you must be careful!"
Chapter 1283 - Breaking the Seal
"Li-er, sorry!"
Under the moonlight, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli stood side by side, the words full of guilt.
According to Ye Yuan's original plans, once he was able to break through to the Deity Realm and end the fiend calamity, he would give Yue Mengli a glorious wedding.
But now, everything went up in smoke.
Mu Lingxue sacrificed her divine soul for him, leaving just a trace of spiritual consciousness left. Ye Yuan was seriously unable to marry Li-er.
With two lifetimes, Ye Yuan discovered that he actually fell in love with two people at the same time.
Ye Yuan always thought that he could put down Mu Lingxue. But that moment when Mu Lingxue unleashed Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, Ye Yuan's entire person seemed to be siphoned empty.
Only at that moment did Ye Yuan discover that the more he suppressed them, the deeper the feelings toward Mu Lingxue.
"Don't say sorry! If really want to say it, it should be me who says so! If not for my selfishness, maybe when you and Elder Sister Mu reunited, you'd have already walked together. Such a thing wouldn't have happened as well! I …"
Talking up to here, Li-er involuntarily shed tears.
She was grieving for Mu Lingxue!
These few days, Li-er was constantly washing her face with tears.
That scene of Mu Lingxue sacrificing the divine soul, she saw it clearly inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. At that time, her heart shattered.
She did not think that Mu Lingxue would actually be so decisive!
Only at that moment did she know that Mu Lingxue's love for Ye Yuan was not the least bit less than hers!
Only the depths of love would have such unhesitatingness.
Li-er was certain that if it was changed to her, she would likewise do so without the slightest hesitation.
But there was no if; the one crucified on the cross was Mu Lingxue!
In that instant, she suddenly felt somewhat envious of the Spirit Snow Divine King.
Because of those words, Ye Yuan would engrave it even deeper in his heart.
Ye Yuan lightly pulled Li-er into his embrace and said with a sigh, "Silly girl, don't cry anymore! You understand my heart, Lingxue's matters was a great blow to me. But your position in my heart isn't inferior to Lingxue's. It's just that her current condition, I truly can't deceive myself and go soaring away like a pair of birds forever."
Sure enough, Ye Yuan's words made Li-er stop crying. She could not bear to make Ye Yuan even more upset.
"Big Brother Yuan, don't say anymore, I understand! Go to the Heavenspan World! You must save Elder Sister Mu! Otherwise, I'd really not have the face to live on! If … If … I absolutely won't live on my own!"
Ye Yuan helped her wipe away tears and said with a smile, "There's no if! Don't you trust me?"
Li-er raised her head to look at Ye Yuan and nodded her head firmly.
The turbulent spatial flow was incomparably violent. If Ye Yuan brought the Vast Heaven Pagoda into it, it would be crushed into smithereens by the turbulent spatial flow!
Hence, Ye Yuan could only pass through the turbulent spatial flow alone.
Ye Yuan already separated the Vast Heaven Pagoda and Vast Heaven Stele. He would bring the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, and pass through the World Locking Gate!
"You stay behind with White Light and cultivate in peace. Come the day when you guys break through to the Deity Realm, that will be the point where I have preliminary success in the Heavenspan World!" Ye Yuan said.
Ye Yuan was currently considered half-master.
When his cultivation reached the Divine Lord Realm, the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao would naturally strengthen anew!
At that time, the Divine Realm's martial artists would be able to break through to the Deity Realm anew.
"Rest assured, Big Brother Yuan, I'll work hard on cultivating!" Li-er said.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En, your strength advances at a tremendous pace. There are already not many able to outperform you in the Divine Realm. I can naturally rest assured. Tomorrow, I'll let Senior Skydistant out. As long as he's around, nobody in the Divine Realm can overturn the heavens. When my strength is sufficient, I'll return to see you."
...
But when Ye Yuan appeared in front of Skydistant again, it gave Skydistant a fright.
He used an expression like he had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan and said in incredible shock, "You … You actually broke through to the Deity Realm? This … This is impossible! Heavenly Dao is missing, how did you break through to the Deity Realm?"
He did not believe this kind of bizarre thing. But that powerful aura of Ye Yuan, even he quivered endlessly.
This could not fool anyone!
Ye Yuan did not reply to his question but said with a scoff, "Huhu, Senior Skydistant has been suppressed by Zuo Zong for as long as a million years, seems like you're not anxious to get out at all?"
Skydistant froze again and said, "Go out? Don't joke around! Don't tell me that you're here to let me out?"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's how it is."
Skydistant said crossly, "Brat, you aren't here to specially make fun of me after breaking through to the Deity Realm, right? Even if you broke through to the Deity Realm, you're also just initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm. How can this bit of strength possibly let me out? This joke isn't funny at all!"
Ye Yuan smiled without saying a word. Reaching his hand out towards the void a bit, the entire Bloodrain Wilderness started trembling violently.
The demonic beasts and medicine spirits were all in a tizzy, not knowing what was happening.
Boom!
An afterimage shattered the fetters of space, leaping straight out from the depths of the seventh level.
