"Eymond, attack!" Qiao Yuan shouted fiercely, rushing together with Eymond, pincer-attacking Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean.
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean gave a cold laugh and said with a furious roar, "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes … Innumerable Ghost Shadows! Dark Extermination Ghost Blade!"
In an instant, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean transformed into countless incarnations, each one's aura was incomparably powerful.
Qiao Yuan's and Eymond's expressions changed suddenly, urging the fiend essence within their bodies to the limit.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless blade images landed frenziedly, turning into an airtight blade-net, slicing the entire space into fragments.
Qiao Yuan and Eymond wailed miserably, with their figures flying out backward. The fiend energy on their bodies immediately decreased significantly.
Qiao Yuan struggled to crawl to his feet, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he said, "Damn it! How can it be like this?!"
Chapter 1878 - Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace
"What a powerful attack! It's simply impeccable!"
"Why did this Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean suddenly become so strong?"
"This is the 81st rune of the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Innumerable Ghost Shadows! He actually cultivated to such a boundary already!"
"No, wait, he definitely didn't have this strength previously. What in the world did Ye Yuan do to him?"
...
Ye Yuan's words were still ringing in their ears, he said that he could help Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean chase these two mighty fiend race Empyreans away.
Just now, they were the same as the two great Empyreans, taking it to be a joke.
They did not expect that in a blink of an eye, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean really brought down these two mighty fiend Empyreans with one blade.
Ye Yuan looked at that rapidly shrinking space, letting out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
This blade arrived quickly and also left quickly, not like the great battle previously. The ripping of space was continuous and the destructive power was also completely different.
Previously, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean's fight with the two great Empyreans, he did not have the chance to approach Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean at all. He could only enter the cave to draw their attention.
Ye Yuan looked at the two great fiend Empyreans and said coolly, "Now, is it still a joke or not?"
Qiao Yuan's expression was very ugly. An exalted Empyrean powerhouse was actually made a mockery off by a Celestial Deity Realm.
However, what on earth did this boy do, to actually make Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean's strength increase greatly?
Ghost Dao Hundred Runes' 81st rune, that was a Ghost Dao that even Empyrean powerhouses found hard to comprehend, and Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean actually used it.
"Kid, don't you be impudent! The victor hasn't been decided yet! Eymond, attack together!"
Qiao Yuan gave a fierce cry, fiendish energy immediately surging on his body.
Ye Yuan's gaze turned sharp and he said coldly, "You guys really want to go to the point of no return for a Seven-Colored Aegirine?"
Qiao Yuan sneered and said, "So what?"
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "I don't care, but Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove's real treasures should be inside that palace. But if you guys want to really fight it out with Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, the Immortal Grove World will likely fall apart to pieces. At that time, that palace will drift into spatial turbulent flows and you guys can forget about finding it again!"
The moment Qiao Yuan heard, the imposing momentum on his body immediately diminished significantly.
What Ye Yuan said was right, they already sensed that the Immortal Grove World could not withstand Empyrean-level battles at all.
Once they fought it out to the bitter end, the entire world would collapse and that palace would definitely crashed into a spatial turbulent flow.
Wanting to enter the palace at that time would be virtually impossible.
However, Qiao Yuan still did not give up and said to Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, "Wild Blade, this kid said to give you the Seven-Colored Aegirine, but he didn't give it to you. Could it be that you're going to stomach this insult?"
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean gave Ye Yuan a glance and said coolly, "I hit it off very well with this little brother. That Seven-Colored Aegirine, I'll give it to this little brother!"
"WHAT?!"
Qiao Yuan's eyeballs went wide, disbelief written all over his face.
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean fought with them for the greater part of a day for the Seven-Colored Aegirine. Now, he actually gave the Seven-Colored Aegirine to Ye Yuan?
The others similarly had astonished looks, feeling that this scene in front of them was seriously too subverting.
One had to know, they had a bloody battle with those Ghost Dao powerhouses for a long time for the Seven-Colored Aegirine.
Now, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean actually made the decision and gave the Seven-Colored Aegirine to Ye Yuan.
This … This made people too peeved!
Of course, what they had even more was envy.
That was a Seven-Colored Aegirine, giving a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse to use was simply a wanton waste of God's good gifts!
This thing was something that could let Empyrean powerhouses advance.
"Just nice, I was called out by them from the Senro Ghost Realm and can still stay for a few days. I'll follow along with Little Friend Ye Yuan then." Just as everyone was unbelievably surprised, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean threw out another heavyweight bombshell.
Qiao Yuan's face turned black and nearly had an impulse to curse and swear.
This guy could be off doing anything, but he just had to be Ye Yuan's bodyguard!
He was originally still planning on finishing Ye Yuan off along the way. Now, nothing could be done.
No one would have thought that a great struggle for the Seven-Colored Aegirine would actually conclude like this.
The group of True God Realms fought fiercely for more than ten days, in the end, even Empyrean powerhouses took action. But nobody obtained the Seven-Colored Aegirine in the end and instead let Ye Yuan, this Celestial Deity Realm, get it.
Helpless, the party could only rest their hopes on that palace.
Three great Empyreans blazing the trail, there naturally would not be much danger on the way.
Very soon, the group of people arrived on that tallest mountain peak.
Only after arriving before it did everyone feel the majesty and magnificence of this palace.
But Ye Yuan's gaze landed on a young man by his side.
That person seemed to have noticed Ye Yuan too and flashed a friendly smile at Ye Yuan, saying, "Brother Ye, we meet again! You're really impressive, to actually be able to snatch the Seven-Colored Aegirine from the hands of a group of Empyrean powerhouses!"
This person was none other than precisely Tang Yan!
Ye Yuan did not expect that this Tang Yan who concealed his abilities actually walked all the way here!
One had to know, previously in the Asura Ghost Domain, the Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses who challenged the Heaven Killing Sword Formation had pretty much all fallen.
Especially those itinerant cultivators without backers, the casualties were even terrifyingly huge.
Ye Yuan did not think that Tang Yan actually pulled through.
"Huhu, Brother Tang indeed keeps your ability hidden deeply! This Ye admires!" Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said with a smile.
Ye Yuan touched his own heart and felt that he was rather accurate at reading people. But this Tang Yan, he could not see through.
Tang Yan smiled and said, "What ability do I have to hide? It was merely hiding from place to place and barely managing to walk until here, that's all. Even so, this Tang also narrowly escaped death several times."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Tang is modest."
"Heh, finally arrived at Old Fart Immortal Grove'
s lair! Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace! Heh heh, that thing should be hidden in here, right?" Qiao Yuan chuckled and was about to step into the great hall.
He was brave stemming from great ability and was also not afraid of whatever contingency Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove set up.
"Hold on!" Ji Xun suddenly shouted.
Qiao Yuan's brows furrowed and he said, "Mn? What's wrong, Old Fogey Devilfeather?"
Empyrean Devilfeather could not even take care of a True God Realm right now, how could Qiao Yuan take him seriously?
Jiu Shang said in a solemn voice, "Lord Jiu Shang sent you two pigs here, isn't he afraid of spoiling the important affair?"
Qiao Yuan snorted coldly when he heard that and said, "Devilfeather, stop putting on stinky airs in front of Your Father! If you're formidable, why would you be suppressed by Old Fart Immortal Grove for five million years?"
Ji Xun's face turned black and was practically about to rampage.
But he was currently a tiger who had ended up in an open plain, so how could he be Qiao Yuan's match?
It was only to see him snort coldly. He said, "Okay then! If you want to seek death, go in then!"
Qiao Yuan's brows furrowed and he calmed down instead.
Suddenly, his gaze swept and landed on a Third Firmament True God.
"You, go in first!" Qiao Yuan said in a cold voice.
That Third Firmament True God's face changed but hesitated.
Qiao Yuan said in a cold voice, "If you're not going, die!"
As he said, powerful fiend essence burst forth, crushing that Third Firmament True God until he could not catch his breath.
Empyrean powerhouses were too strong!
Bang!
Qiao Yuan did not give him time to hesitate at all, suddenly slamming a fist out, immediately blasting him into dregs.
Then, his gaze landed on another True God Realm and said, "You, go in!"
The moment that person heard, his face was immediately ashen.
But at this time, it was not allowed for him to refuse at all.
Carrying fl.u.s.tered emotions, he walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
Buzz, buzz …
Bang!
A horrifying energy undulation landed. That True God powerhouse did not even let out a scream. He directly turned to ashes.
Chapter 1879 - Eradicate Him for Me!
The group of powerhouses all had slightly fearful expressions. This Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace's restrictions were too powerful.
Qiao Yuan's face changed. He then pointed at another True God powerhouse and said, "You go!"
But this time, he pointed at Yang Yidao.
The moment Yang Yidao heard, his face immediately turned pale and he stammered, "L-Lord Empyrean, haven't we already tested it?"
Qiao Yuan snickered and said, "Not testing more, how will this Empyrean know where the weak point of this restriction is?"
One sentence and everyone felt imperiled.
Ji Kang, Zuo Pan, and the rest of the True God Realm top powerhouses, all had very ugly faces.
The fox mourning the death of a rabbit was pretty much like this.
Yang Yidao was aware that there was no chance to be spared. Suddenly, he knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a flash.
He understood that at this time, there was only Ye Yuan who could save him.
"L-Little Brother Ye Yuan, I-I beg you, save me!"
Ye Yuan was also rendered dumbfounded by this sudden change. An exalted Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse actually knelt in front of him?
When the other True God powerhouses saw this scene, they could not help giving rise to the feeling of the fox mourning the death of a rabbit.
At this time, the Celestial Deity Realm martial artists whose numbers were not many felt very safe instead. Because even if they went, they could not probe anything out at all.
When Qiao Yuan saw this scene, he immediately laughed.
"Huhu, if you'd long known that it would be this way, why behave like that back then? He obtained an empyrean spirit treasure based on his own ability, you guys insisted on abusing your power to bully people. Now, you're in a crisis and turned around to beg him. Is it that you guys will sell him again after this round? Ye Yuan brat, let me remind you, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean can't stay for more than a few days here."
Qiao Yuan had a smile on his face, seemingly not worried at all that Ye Yuan would help Yang Yidao.
Along the way, they concealed their strength, taking Ye Yuan's conflict with these people into their sights.
At this time, Yang Yidao's intestines were green with regret.
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
Yang Yidao slapped himself ruthlessly and cried bitterly, "Ye Yuan, I made a huge mistake! It was all my fault! I shouldn't have been blinded by obsession and covet your empyrean spirit treasure! But … But in the end, we're all humans, are you going to passively watch everyone die in the hands of the fiend race?"
"Yeah! Ye Yuan, at this time, we should be bound by a common hatred for the enemy and deal with the fiend race together first!"
"Everyone is human compatriots, you can't stand by and watch us die!"
...
The moment they heard Yang Yidao's words, these True God powerhouses all voiced their vocal support, wanting to hold Ye Yuan ransom to ethical principles.
Ye Yuan was originally somewhat stirred, but when Yang Yidao said until the second half of his sentence, Ye Yuan became enraged.
"Enough!"
Ye Yuan gave a furious roar, interrupting their words.
Everyone's faces changed, they all saw through that Ye Yuan was angered.
"Yang Yidao, if you're scared of death yourself, then be scared of death yourself. Deliberately dragging everyone in, are you bullying me for being soft-hearted? Or is it that you feel that I'm young, easy to hoodwink?" Ye Yuan looked at Yang Yidao and said with a cold smile.
Yang Yidao's face was ashen. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so sharp.
His bit of trick was seen through by Ye Yuan.
He was secretly shocked. How could a thousand over years old little fellow have such profound cunningness?
He, this old monster who had lived for a million years, could not play any tricks.
"Also, you guys! Know that you're humans now? Know that there are compatriots now and want to fight the enemy with a common hatred? What the hell have you been doing? When the two of them were dealing with me inside the cavern, did one of you come forward? Previously, when Ji Kang they all were taking advantage of their power to bull people, did any one of you step forward to step up for me? Now, know how to be scared?"
Ye Yuan's gaze was scorching, sweeping over each person's face.
The places it passed through, those True God powerhouses all lowered their heads.
Ye Yuan sneered inwardly. These people posed as people of high morals but were self-centered.
Saying whatever human race's righteousness was merely holding you ransom to ethical principles.
What Qiao Yuan said was right, even if he helped these people pass this hurdle, once Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean disappeared, they would recover to their original faces very quickly.
"Hahaha! Boy, I really underestimated you. Looks like you see things even more thoroughly than I do!" Qiao Yuan laughed loudly and said.
Ye Yuan suddenly reined in his expression and said coolly, "I know that there are definitely Empyrean powerhouses among the humans too. But … I really admire your tolerance, to actually be able to endure until now. Huhu, thinking of sitting things out and reaping the spoils later?"
Ye Yuan's words made Qiao Yuan's face change.
They naturally also suspected that the humans had Empyrean powerhouses around too. But even the Seven-Colored Aegirine appeared and the human Empyreans did not show face. They thought that there were none.
He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually suspected that the humans had Empyreans too.
Ye Yuan swept his glance over and said with a faint smile, "All not making a sound huh? All treating me as a sucker, making me fight to the death with the fiend race Empyreans, is it? Sorry, you guys want to dodge, but I won't let you do as you wish! Senior Wild Blade, give them a chop, force out our Lord Empyreans for me!"
The moment Qiao Yuan heard, he could not help laughing loudly and said, "Hahaha! Boy, you're indeed ruthless enough! A great character!"
But the faces of Ji Kang and the rest changed and said, "Ye Yuan, you … what do you want to do?"
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Don't blame me, want to blame, blame the Lord Empyreans! Senior, do it!'
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean nodded slightly, evil ghostly power suddenly erupting. Those human powerhouses were all ashen
In front of Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, they did not have the strength to retaliate at all. There was no difference from lambs awaiting slaughter.
The blade rising, the terrifying aura raged.
Whoosh …
Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean did not hesitate in the slightest and really chopped a blade over.
The faces of the human powerhouses all abruptly changed, they finally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking with them.
But right at this time, two powerful auras suddenly erupted, meeting this blade.
Bang!
The blade momentum dissipated, everything returned to tranquility.
Two auras that were not weaker than the fiend race Empyreans appeared in the midst of the human camp.
The faces of the powerhouses around them suddenly changed, backing away one after another.
Ji Kang's pupils constricted, looking at one of the figures and exclaimed, "Lord Zhao Min, you … you're here too!"
Zhao Min looked at Ji Kang and said with a cold snort, "Humph! Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital's face is totally lost by you all!"
Ji Kang had a look of embarrassment. Being suppressed by a Celestial Deity Realm boy along the way, this was simply a great stinging insult in his life.
But he had no choice!
Putting aside that he had peak True God strength, he even had an Empyrean powerhouse protecting!
The other Empyrean powerhouse said, "Heh heh, Zhao Min, you might not fare better than how Ji Kang did too. This boy isn't simple!"
