A hint of viciousness suddenly flashed across in Liu Yi's gaze, and he said with a cold smile, "Settle the accounts? With just the likes of you, a Second Firmament True God? I know that you're very impressive, but I'm a Fifth Firmament True God right now! What do you have to settle the scores with me?"
Suddenly, a ghost claw appeared in Liu Yi's hand. It was shockingly an empyrean spirit treasure.
Ye Yuan seemed to have not seen it, slowly walking over toward Liu Yi.
This Ye Yuan made Liu Yi feel extremely uneasy.
That icy-cold feeling made him feel like he was virtually going to be frozen stiff.
He gritted his teeth and snapped. "Extreme Nether Deathsoul Claw!"
A horrifying aura of death instantly erupted.
A cloud of black gas suddenly rumbled over toward Ye Yuan.
But Ye Yuan still did not have the slightest movement.
Blue fine threads extended out, colliding together with that cloud of black gas very quickly.
That cloud of black gas seemed to have seen a ghost, immediately vanishing into thin air.
Liu Yi's eyes became wide-saucers, looking at this scene in disbelief.
What the hell were these blue fine threads?
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yi turned tail and ran.
Except, it was already too late.
The divine marks' speed of extending was even faster than he imagined.
In a blink of an eye, he was engulfed inside the Divine Vestige Space.
"Welcome to my world!"
Liu Yi's pupils constricted, his face looking bewildered and lost as he said, "Your … Your world?"
Liu Yi was not foreign to small worlds.
But Ye Yuan's world, he had never seen before.
How could there be such a small world?
He attempted to use his ability and deploy his world power.
But he discovered to his astonishment that his world power was actually unable to release outside of his body in this place!
"This … This … What the hell kind of place is this?" Liu Yi became more and more alarmed and terrified in his heart.
In this place, he was just like a mortal.
No, wait, even less than a mortal.
Ye Yuan said, "You don't need to know. You just have to know that your so-called destiny is … nothing in front of me! Now, you can go and die already."
Done talking, Ye Yuan's finger pointed toward him. Liu Yi directly exploded into nothingness.
When his figure appeared again, Liu Yi already evaporated into thin air.
When the others saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked speechless.
Song Yu and the rest were wildly elated, sprinting over in a few steps.
"Brother Ye, where's Liu Yi?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Dead."
Song Yu laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I knew it! This wretched grandson wouldn't have a good outcome! Brother Ye, really nice means, to actually be able to even easily resolve the Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman."
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coldly, "Paltry tricks, nothing to be feared."
Being given this glance by Ye Yuan, Song Yu had a feeling of plunging into an ice cellar.
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Song Yu. His figure moved, speeding straight into the distance.
Chapter 1994 - Profound Secrets' Attention
"Brother Ye!"
The expressions of Song Yu and the rest changed, hurriedly chasing after Ye Yuan.
He suddenly felt that this Ye Yuan in front of him became so unfamiliar.
"Brother Ye, where are you going?"
Ye Yuan's movement technique was extremely fast. Song Yu and the rest actually could not catch up and could only shout from behind.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's footsteps stopped, and he said in a cold voice, "Stop following me. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on old friends."
The figures of Song Yu and the rest turned stiff, looking at Ye Yuan in somewhat disbelievingly.
Was … this still that Ye Yuan they knew?
Watching Ye Yuan left, Song Yu and the rest did not dare to stop him.
This Ye Yuan before their eyes was too horrifying and too cold. If they had followed, he would probably kill them without the slightest hesitation.
"Brother Song, what's wrong with Brother Ye?" Guo Jingyang asked puzzledly.
Song Yu's expression was rather ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "Brother Ye's cultivation method is indeed exceptionally rare, to even be able to disregard cultivation realm and instantly kill his opponent. But … it seems to have considerable side-effects and will affect one's temperament."
Guo Jingyang's face changed and he said, "This … What to do about this? He wouldn't keep going like this, right?"
Song Yu shook his head and said, "Of course not. But if he keeps on cultivating like this, he'll probably become a peerless powerhouse without the slightest emotion in the end!"
The other few people's expressions were all very ugly when they heard it. They already treated Ye Yuan as a sworn friend for life and death and were very worried about Ye Yuan.
"This … Then is it really fine for us to let him leave just like that?" Hu Fei asked worriedly.
"Relax, you saw his strength too. To be able to force the Empyrean bone devil to raise his realm to the Ninth Firmament True God Realm, ordinary dangers can't do anything to him at all. Moreover, even if he's like this now, he also wouldn't possibly push himself onto the road to ruin. In fact, I feel that he might be calmer than ever under this state," Song Yu said with a sigh.
The rest were speechless for a while and actually did not know what to do.
"Brother Song, then what should we do now?" Guo Jingyang asked.
Song Yu thought about it and said, "The matter here is pretty much settled. So let's return to the circle and wait for Brother Ye."
...
Three months later, Ye Yuan finally returned to the circle.
When Song Yu and the rest saw Ye Yuan, each and every one of them was extremely excited.
"Brother Ye, you're back! You worried us to death these few months!" Hu Fei said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Sorry, I've made everyone worry."
By the side, Song Yu suddenly said in surprise, "Brother Ye, you broke through again?"
Not seeing for a short three months, Ye Yuan actually grew stronger by another minor realm.
At present, he already reached the peak Third Firmament Origin Pill Realm and was only a step away from the Fourth Firmament Origin Pill Realm.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I had another fortuitous encounter these few months and broke through by a fluke."
Song Yu also discerned that Ye Yuan did not seem to be willing to talk too much about the events of these few months. So he also shut his mouth sensibly.
But Ye Yuan's realm increasing still gave him a shock.
Song Yu these few people understood that the implications of Ye Yuan breaking through a minor realm was that he was no longer the same person like in the past.
The current Ye Yuan dealing with Fifth Firmament True God powerhouses, it would likely be a cinch too.
After returning to the circle, everything settled down.
Ye Yuan observed for a bit. The children of destiny that returned to the circle safely were already less than one in ten.
Although this Ancient God Battlefield was teeming with lucky chances, it was also extremely dangerous.
But those able to return mostly had great improvements in strength, their auras more than a level stronger compared to before.
In the crowd, Ye Yuan even saw a familiar figure. It was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's gaze was also sizing Ye Yuan up. Discovering that Ye Yuan looked over, he immediately turned his head over and did not dare to meet his eyes.
For the current Zhou Yu, his heart was pounding away.
He was afraid, afraid of Ye Yuan coming to find trouble with him.
Zhou Yu
did not expect that just three months passed and Ye Yuan directly grew stronger by a minor realm.
When Ye Yuan was at the Second Firmament True God Realm, he was already not a match. Now, he was naturally even less of a match.
If Ye Yuan was bent on finding trouble with him, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Luckily, Ye Yuan just gave him a glance and did not have the intention of coming over to find trouble with him. Only then did he let out a long sigh in relief.
Since entering Ancient God Battlefield until now, around one and a half year's time had passed. The remaining time, everyone each entered meditation, waiting for the end to end.
Of course, there were still some children of destiny who kept seeking lucky chances outside, returning to the circle one after another.
In a blink, the three years limit was up. That Heavenly Emperor powerhouse's voice sounded out once more.
"Congratulations to all of your children of destiny, reaping bountiful harvests in the Ancient God Battlefield. However, I hope that everyone remembers my Jian Family's kindness. In the future, if my Jian Family has any requests, I hope that everyone doesn't turn it down!"
"Lord Heavenly Emperor is too courteous. The Jian Family's matter is my matter!"
"Lord Heavenly Emperor rest assured!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
...
The group of children of destiny hurriedly said.
Following that, that Heavenly Emperor powerhouse continued saying, "After you all experienced this, your destinies should undergo a change once again. After going back, let your city lords view it. Alright, let's say goodbye here."
Hearing this, everyone had excited looks on their faces.
The vast majority of them were imperial aura. Emperor surmounting auras were just a minority after all.
If they could evolve to emperor surmounting aura, then they would have hopes of breaking through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future.
That would be a massive good fortune to them.
After all, at great imperial capital this level, wanting to break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor was far too difficult!
In the crowd, Ye Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, because he felt that the Heavenly Emperor was currently paying attention to him.
It seemed like his perception was not wrong. He really caught the attention of the Jian Family and even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!
But he did not express anything, waiting for the Ancient God Battlefield to close the same as the rest.
Everyone was currently rejoicing, only to see a light flash and the circle directly disappeared. Everyone was sent into the passageway.
...
At the Profound Secrets Bodhimanda, Jian Yunxin bowed to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and said, "Father, that little fellow called Ye Yuan obtained the Qilin emperor bone inside the Ancient God Battlefield this time. In addition … he even made a trip to Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave."
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets's brows raised up and he said in surprise, "Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave is the place where Heavenly Emperor Cr.a.p.e Myrtle died. Fellow Daoist Cr.a.p.e Myrtle was a well-renown Transcendent Heavenly Emperor in the last epoch. Inside the Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave is full of dangers. He, a True God, actually entered the Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave? Also, he could block Empyrean Vast Universe's three sword moves; it shows that his talent is also similar to the geniuses of the last epoch!"
Jian Yunxin clearly also felt that it was incredulous and said, "Indeed so. Jian Rong has been constantly observing this little fellow. After he obtained the Qilin emperor bone, he entered the Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave alone. It's just that that place shields against all probing. So Jian Rong was unable to find out just what that little fellow did inside too."
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded his head and said, "Even if this emperor went, I'd also be unable to investigate the situation inside Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave, let alone talk about Jian Rong. This little fellow is really getting more and more interesting."
Jian Yunxin thought about it and said, "Father, Jian Rong also discovered an interesting thing."
Chapter 1995 - Burning Hot
"Oh? Say it! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said curiously.
"When that Ye Yuan received Empyrean Vast Universe's third sword move, Ye Yuan actually forced him to raise his realm to Ninth Firmament True God Realm before defeating Ye Yuan. And after that, Ye Yuan seemed to have a great change in disposition, heading to Cr.a.p.e Myrtle Cave all by himself."
Jian Yunxin clearly knew about Ye Yuan's affairs like the back of his hand.
When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets heard, he indeed revealed an astonished expression.
"The Ninth Firmament True God Realm? What formidable means! Even this emperor also wasn't this heaven-defying back then. Just what kind of deity is this kid? However, a great change in disposition also shows that his cultivation method has a problem. Furthermore, the problem isn't small. Whether or not he can achieve greatness in the future, it is something unknown," Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets exclaimed with admiration.
Jian Yunxin nodded and said, "This child feels this way too. However, if Father is interested in him, why not do a divination?"
Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed in spite of himself and said, "Do you think that I didn't perform a divination before? This child can't be fathomed!"
Jian Yunxin's pupils constricted, incredibly shocked in his heart.
"Alright, this matter ends here. The world shall soon change. I hope that my Jian Family can tide over this tribulation safely." Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets sighed lightly and walked away with his hands behind his back.
...
Inside Virtuous Wind Establishment, Jian Sutao looked at Ye Yuan five people, being rather surprised in his heart.
With the Ancient God Battlefield opening up this time, their Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital actually had more than half return!
In the past years, being able to have two or three people returning was already pretty good.
Being completely wiped out was also not something impossible.
In reality, with the Ancient God Battlefield opening up this time, many great imperial capitals' children of destiny did not have a single one come back.
This time, not only did five return, furthermore, each and every one of these five had great improvements in strength.
Especially Song Yu, he already reached peak Fourth Firmament True God.
The other three people also all broke through to Fourth Firmament True God.
Even Ye Yuan also broke through two minor realms in one go.
One could say that it was a happy ending situation.
"Looks like you all had considerable harvests in the Ancient God Battlefield this time!" Jian Sutao said.
Song Yu smiled and said, "It was all thanks to Brother Ye along the way. If not for him, we'd likely have been completely annihilated. Oh, right, when we're coming back, that Lord Heavenly Emperor said that our destinies all had changes. I wonder if City Lord can take a look for us?"
Jian Sutao nodded his head and said, "Naturally can."
As he said, he mustered up the aura viewing art and looked towards Song Yu and the rest.
Of course, he deliberately avoided Ye Yuan.
He did not dare to look.
It was alright if he did not look, but one look and he jumped in fright.
When Song Yu saw Jian Sutao's expression, he asked doubtfully, "What's wrong, City Lord?"
Jian Sutao clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Strange! Really strange! Making a trip to the Ancient God Battlefield, you all actually advanced to emperor surmounting aura? Let me take a look again."
As he said, he mustered up the aura viewing art again and examined them closely again.
The four people's destinies had indeed broken through to the emperor surmounting aura.
This was incredible! Within the entire great imperial capital, four emperor surmou
nting auras actually appeared all at once. This was one of its kind.
As for Song Yu and the rest, each and every one of them was extremely excited.
Song Yu originally had a peak imperial aura. He was an existence only a step away from reaching the emperor surmounting aura.
Breaking through to the emperor surmounting aura was something within reason.
But the rest made Jian Sutao greatly surprised.
Of course, they themselves were also extremely surprised.
Among the three people, Guo Jingyang and Middle-stage both had late-stage imperial auras. Hu Fei merely had a middle-stage imperial aura.
Who could have thought that even Hu Fei became emperor surmounting aura?
Although the Ancient God Battlefield is a good place to change one's destiny, such a big transformation wouldn't occur too! Emperor surmounting aura isn't some cabbage. More often than not, 100 great imperial capitals can't produce one emperor surmounting aura too. But now, four popped out all at once. Counting in Ye Yuan, it's five! This … Hang on, could it be that … the problem lies with Ye Yuan? Jian Sutao was speculating about this in his mind.
Thinking like this, he felt that it was very likely.
Jian Sutao discovered that all the people who got close to Ye Yuan seemed to have massive changes to their destinies.
Just take Jian Hongxiao for example; he originally should not have the chance to return to the Stellar Hall already.
Who knew that not only did he come back, he even broke through to the Empyrean Realm!
This destiny was simply heaven-defying.
The more Jian Sutao thought, the more he felt that the probability was very high.
One had to know, their ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, was such an existence with extremely heaven-defying destiny.
Hence, the Jian Family became one of this Heavenspan World's top major family clans.
Even those Transcendent Heavenly Emperors also had to give some face when seeing the Jian Family's members.
Could it be that Ye Yuan was actually such an existence?
The more Jian Sutao thought, the more alarmed he got, and the more curious he became. Just what kind of magical power did this Ye Yuan have on him, to actually be able to have such tremendous influence?
