The target was precisely the grand array that Lu Linfeng set up!
The commotion of Lu Linfeng's breakthrough was indeed huge. But he already realized that his way of doing things would not work. The array formation already showed signs of instability.
This terrifying heavenly tribulation arriving at this time, his gaze revealed a look of despair.
Only at this time did he realize that he seemed to have angered Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao wanted to kill him and be done with it!
Just as that incomparably thick lightning bolt was about to fall on the array formation, a gentle power of Heavenly Dao overlapped on top of his array formation.
When that dark-yellow lightning bolt landed on it, it actually directly dissipated into nothingness.
The Lu Linfeng inside the array formation was incomparably shocked as he looked at this scene. He did not expect that this heavenly tribulation was actually all talk no action.
"Puhwark!"
It was not up to him to be shocked. The breakthrough failing caused him to suffer a tremendous backlash, fresh blood spurting wildly.
When everything evaporated away, only then, did Lu Linfeng saw clearly that there were three figures in the distance currently looking at him. This made him greatly surprised.
In order to ensure that his breakthrough was not interrupted, he set up many large formations around him. Even peak Void Mystic absolutely could not barge inside either.
But these three people actually entered effortlessly.
Furthermore, he actually did not detect it in the slightest.
If the three people touched the array formation, his breakthrough would have long failed.
The three silhouettes flashed and arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Seeing the arrivals, Lu Linfeng's gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, "Ji Qingyun! Was … Was it you who saved me?"
Lu Linfeng was not a fool. The might of that bolt of heavenly tribulation before could virtually destroy the heavens and decimate the heaven. But it started off with a large bang and ended with a whimper, finally dissipating into nothing. This was definitely someone making a move to assist.
Except, that kind of Heavenly Dao's might, who had this ability to save him?
Lu Linfeng had always focused on closed-seclusion, making preparations for today's breakthrough. Regarding the Divine Realm's matters, he did not have the slightest clue.
Suddenly, his entire body trembled and his gaze revealed astoundment as he said, "You … You broke through to the Deity Realm? This … This is impossible! I must have seen it wrongly!"
Chapter 1286 - World Locking Gate!
This person, Ye Yuan, in front of him gave Lu Linfeng a feeling of being above the clouds.
This kind of strength, what was it if not someone in the Deity Realm?
Furthermore, Lu Linfeng faintly had a feeling earlier, that aura that saved him was actually identical with the Heavenly Dao's!
Fang Tian looked at Lu Linfeng with sympathy and said, "You didn't guess wrongly. Ye Yuan, he indeed broke through to Deity Realm. He is now the Divine Realm's sole Deity Realm powerhouse!"
Lu Linfeng's entire body trembled, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of bizarreness.
For the sake of today, he had prepared for who knows how many years and expended god knows how much effort.
Before today, Lu Linfeng had been very confident.
He was confident that his approach was the most genius idea in the Divine Realm's 100 thousand years.
Not saying that it was definitely able to break through to the Deity Realm, but it was absolutely the most promising.
In the end, he failed!
This was originally nothing. After all, over these 100 thousand years, the people who failed were too many.
But a Deity Realm powerhouse actually really showed up in front of him!
Nothing was more demoralizing than this.
Ye Yuan knew that him appearing at this time was not some good timing. But Lu Linfeng's relationship with him was not shallow.
To really calculate, he was even half a disciple of his.
Allowing Lu Linfeng to be killed by heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could not do it.
"Impossible! Even I failed, and you … How did you accomplish it?" Lu Linfeng said, battered out of his senses.
These words sounded very arrogant, but Lu Linfeng indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
He derived a Heavenly Dao belonging to him with Formation Dao. This talent, this boldness, this strength, apart from Ye Yuan, there really was not a second person.
Even Fang Tian was also inferior to Lu Linfeng in certain aspects.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What you walk on is the Formation Dao, what I walk on is the Alchemy Dao. You derived Heavenly Dao with array formations, I completed Heavenly Dao with the Alchemy Dao; that's all there is to it."
Lu Linfeng's gaze turned intent, and he muttered, "Completing Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, completing Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao! That's all … there is to it?"
He naturally understood Ye Yuan's words. In fact, Ye Yuan's path had the same ingenuity of achieving the same goal via different means with him.
It was just that, he failed, while Ye Yuan succeeded!
Lu Linfeng keenly realized the profundities in Ye Yuan's words. One derived Heavenly Dao with Formation Dao, the other completed Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao.
It looked almost the same, but actually, it was diametrically opposed!
Ye Yuan's words were very vague, but it made Lu Linfeng suddenly feel refreshed.
Ye Yuan was telling him that his idea was too unrealistic, that was why it would fail.
Lu Linfeng could not refrain from recalling that terrifying heavenly tribulation and involuntarily palpitated with anxiety and fear.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong. Deity Realm was strong, but just now, he himself already touched the threshold of Deity Realm too. It seemed like it was still somewhat enough to choke when dealing with this heavenly tribulation.
"Ye Yuan, the heavenly tribulation just now … even if you're Deity Realm, it's also impossible to resolve it so easily, right?" Lu Linfeng asked probingly.
Fang Tian smiled and said, "Ye Yuan isn't an ordinary Deity Realm! You have been in closed-seclusion all along and probably don't know what happened in the Divine Realm. Ye Yuan is already the Divine Realm's controller now, surmounting above all life."
"C-Controller?" Lu Linfeng's pupils constricted. He was frightened by this term.
Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Old Fart Lu, you don't need to be disheartened either. With your talent, as long as you cultivate according to conventional routine, there's still a chance to corroborate the Great Dao again. Making a move earlier was just returning the favor of you imparting to me your knowledge."
Lu Linfeng's face was ashen pale, and he said with self-ridicule, "Talk is cheap for you, corroborate the Great Dao again? Easier said than done! This path doesn't work. This Lu's years of effort is equivalent to being in vain."
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Great Dao leads to the same destination. How can your efforts be wasted? You should just cultivate with peace of mind. In the future, there will be an opportunity to cultivate to the Origin Deity Realm. When the time comes, it will be the time for this method of array amplifying Heavenly Dao to give off its brilliance! That's all this Ye has to say. Old Fart Lu, you take care!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Fang Tian and Skydistant along with him and disappeared from where they were.
Lu Linfeng trembled. Looking at the direction Ye Yuan's figure disappeared, he did not come back to his sense for a long time.
Ye Yuan's few short sentences revealed a lot of information!
Could it be that Ye Yuan really had a way of making that vanished Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm's return again?
Highly probable!
Ye Yuan's current realm was already what he could
not see through.
Furthermore, listening to the meaning in Ye Yuan's words, after Origin Deity Realm, there were actually even higher realms!
But these were too far away for him.
Ye Yuan's words re-ignited Lu Linfeng's hope.
He got a backlash from Heavenly Dao, his strength greatly diminished. But Ye Yuan's move already minimized Heavenly Dao's damage to him to the greatest degree, preserving his foundation.
As long as he cultivated hard, he could still return to the peak.
...
Three months later, in the land of extreme east of the Divine Realm, at the end of the Garnersky Sea Region, there was a stretch of heavy fog.
The feeling that the stretch of fog gave people was extremely dangerous. Even Ye Yuan's gaze revealed a look of dread too.
Several figures stood in the air. Ye Yuan, Fang Tian, Skydistant, Yue Mengli, White Light, Long Teng, and the rest, all came here to see Ye Yuan off.
There were four phantoms behind Ye Yuan. They were precisely the spirits of the four symbols!
"What, scared? There's the realm barrier protecting here, the violent spatial turbulent flow can't come in. Once you pass through the World Locking Gate, it's the endless spatial turbulent flow after that! Do you … still want to brave it?"
A voice came from within the void. It was precisely Kunwu.
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, don't need to persuade anymore. Ye Yuan's mind is made up!"
"Heh, truly a brat who doesn't turn back without hitting the south wall! Forget it, if you want to court death yourself, others can't stop you either," Kunwu said in a disappointed and angry tone.
Ye Yuan slowly turned around and gave a bow towards the spirits of the four symbols, and said, "I'll have to trouble four seniors!"
The spirits of the four symbols were the totem powers of the four clans and did not have consciousness. But they were subjected to the domination of the Sacred Dragon Token, that was why Ye Yuan could bring them here.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought out the Sacred Dragon Token. A sacred aura instantly radiated the entire sea region.
The spirits of the four symbols also each split into north, south, east, west, revolving around the Sacred Dragon Token and standing in the air.
Suddenly, four clear cries billowed to the sky. The spirits of the four symbols opened their enormous mouths at the same time and spewed out a surge of powerful laws undulation, converging over towards the void.
"World Locking Gate, open!"
Four arcs of light shot to the sky and finally gathered in one place above the void.
An archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life came from above the void.
A massive stone door manifested!
Following the appearance of this stone door, everyone only felt like their divine souls were about to collapse and dissipate.
This aura that suppressed everything truly made people collapse.
Ye Yuan's body gave off an aura belonging to Heavenly Dao, enveloping everyone. That feeling of collapse instantly vanished into nothing.
Everyone looked at that archaic gate, unbelievably shocked.
"This is the World Locking Gate? What a powerful aura! Not reaching the Deity Realm, one can't withstand this kind of frightening pressure at all!" Fang Tian said with a sigh.
"No idea how those Deity Realm powerhouses back then knew about this exit either. Those selfish fellows had best all be buried in the turbulent spatial flow!" White Light said with indignation.
Chapter 1287 - Turbulent Spatial Flow!
"Senior Skydistant, Senior Fang Tian, after Ye Yuan leaves, the Divine Realm will have to trouble you all to take care of it!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands at the two and said.
Finally, the time to leave still came. Leaving his homeland, Ye Yuan also had a myriad of feelings well up in his heart for a moment too.
This place had what he was worried about, had his fetters. No matter where he went to, this was his home.
Regarding his home, Ye Yuan was naturally very concerned about his posthumous coverage.
Fang Tian said, "Go on, rest assured about the Divine Realm's matters. With Skydistant and me around, they can't stir up any large waves. There's also Lu Linfeng. He went to find Cao Yunzhi the other day as well, taking the initiative to request to serve as the Law Enforcement Hall's guest elder."
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "I didn't expect that this guy would actually do such a thing."
The Grand Yan Divine King had always moved independently. Apart from taking in a disciple, he had never joined any faction before and was completely indifferent to the Divine Realm's matters as well.
Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would actually take the initiative to request to join the Law Enforcement Hall.
Skydistant smiled and said, "Isn't this still on account of your face? He's giving a plum in return for a peach here, returning your life-saving grace!"
Ye Yuan chuckled and did not say anything.
With so many powerhouses holding down the fort, presumably, no major storms should appear in the Divine Realm. He could also leave with peace of mind.
"Senior Long Teng, on this journey, thank you very much for your care!"
Ye Yuan gave a deep bow toward Long Teng.
Long Teng was a teacher-like friend to Ye Yuan and helped Ye Yuan tremendously.
Previously, in order to let Ye Yuan escape, Long Teng even did not hesitate his soul disintegrating to resist Kanuo. How could Ye Yuan not be moved?
"Go on, go on, but you must take care!" Old Teng had tears running down his aged face as he said.
Ye Yuan nodded his head solemnly and came before White Light.
The two people grasped hands and had a big bear hug.
Between brothers, there was no need for too many words.
"Big Brother, you can go with peace of mind. I'll work hard on cultivation. When you restore the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao one day, I'll go to the Heavenspan World to find you!" White Light said firmly.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Good brother! I'll wait for you in the Heavenspan World!"
By the side, Lu-er was long already sobbing until tears poured down.
"Young Master, Lu-er … can't bear to leave you! Sniff, sniff …"
Ye Yuan pulled Lu-er into his embrace. Lightly stroking her hair, he said, "Good Lu-er, you cultivate well too. When you break through to the Deity Realm, Young Master will definitely fetch you to the Heavenspan World, alright?"
Lu-er pushed Ye Yuan away and said with teary eyes, "Young Master, you have to keep your word!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When have Young Master lied to you before?"
Lu-er smiled through tears and said, "I knew that Young Master is the best! Young Master, rest assured; Lu-er will definitely cultivate well and strive to break through to the Deity Realm as soon as possible!"
Yue Mengli still had an indifferent expression, as if nothing could move her.
Except, that hint of sadness and reluctance to part in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Li-er, you too."
Li-er's expression dimmed. She nodded and lightly hummed.
Looking at Li-er's eyes, Ye Yuan felt his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts and was actually speechless.
Ye Yuan understood that if they had to compete to see who was better, among these people, the one who could not bear for him to leave the most would be Li-er.
But, in order to not make him worry, she stubbornly endured it.
This girl, he really had nothing to nitpick with.
Ye Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say it.
At this time, any words were feeble.
With this departure, life and death were hard to predict, weal and woe unknown.
That was a completely foreign world. They did not know, Ye Yuan similarly did not know.
Just like entering the Godsfall Mountain
Range back then, Ye Yuan seriously could not give them any promise.
"I'm going!"
Ye Yuan hardened his heart, turned around, and flew towards that World Locking Gate.
Li-er's tears could not hold back anymore and burst out. She shouted at Ye Yuan's back view: "Big Brother Yuan, Li-er will go and find you! You must take good care of yourself!"
Ye Yuan's figure paused, but gritted his teeth and refused to turn his head back, his figure finally vanishing behind the World Locking Gate.
He was afraid, afraid that he did not have the courage to leave.
When Ye Yuan's figure disappeared from her line of sight, Li-er's entire person seemed to have been sapped of strength, falling down weakly.
Lu-er was startled and hurriedly supported her, similarly complaining tearfully, "Big Sister Li-er, you have to hang on! Young Master … Young Master, he'll definitely be fine!"
Li-er's tears were like floodwaters that broke the dam, drenched a peerlessly beautiful face.
"I know … I know! He'll definitely be fine!" Li-er choked.
The two sisters hugged their heads and cried bitterly. When everyone by the side saw this scene, they all could not hold back tears from trickling down their cheeks.
What they could do was only to pray, pray that Ye Yuan was able to survive the turbulent spatial flow.
...
In front of Ye Yuan was a murky gray space, no direction, no sounds.
What there was, was just violent energy undulations.
Ye Yuan heard Kunwu say before, this turbulent spatial flow was actually a sea of space, pieced together and formed by countless spatial fragments.
The friction and fluctuations between the spatial fragments would produce incomparably violent energy, wiping out everything in the sea of space.
Of course, this kind of energy had strong and weak types.
Strong ones, even if it was a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, they could obliterate too.
Weak ones, it was nine chances to die and one chance to live for Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouses too.
Right now, Ye Yuan had just passed through the World Locking Gate. The turbulent spatial flow was not very strong yet.
