Ye Yuan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Tan Yi smiled coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Brat, even if you're some dogshit Second Sage, you're also looking down on Eight-star Alchemy Gods too much! Yuanzhi's body, this emperor has already checked it no less than 20 times, but failed to get anything! It's not some corpse poison and he also wasn't inflicted with some poison. It's just like he's rotting out of the blue. Did you also discover that it's like this?"
A hint of disappointment also flashed across Fallen Maple's eyes.
He heard that Ye Yuan was Second Sage, so that was why he felt that there was some hope.
So he did not expect that it would not cut it either.
Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Tan Yi's mocking. The seals in his hands suddenly changed irregularly, inside the house suddenly became a sea of stars.
Chaos Heavenly Star Art!
Tan Yi's pupils constricted, immediately discovering that Ye Yuan's alchemy technique was extraordinary.
Broad and profound like the sea!
This was Tan Yi's feeling.
Ye Yuan's hands moved like lightning, one stream of chaos divine essence after another was sent into Zhuo Yuanzhi's body.
Zhuo Yuanzhi's body actually slowly suspended into the air and gave off a faint silver light.
Seeing this scene, the three Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in the house exchanged sidelong glances, struck dumb with amazement in their hearts.
Was this Second Sage's strength?
Actually, when Fallen Maple saw Ye Yuan for the first time, he also had a feeling of young people could not be trusted with important tasks.
After all, being called Second Sage at this age was a little too inconceivable.
But now, his doubts were all gone!
The understanding of Dao that Ye Yuan exhibited was extremely deep.
"At a young age, he actually already comprehended his own Dao! This kid is truly a freak!" Tan Yi cried out involuntarily.
Right at this time, a brilliant light flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes, and he said with a cold smile, "What a cunning thing, turns out that it's actually hiding here! Come out for me!"
Ye Yuan struck a palm out, directly smashing down toward Zhuo Yuanzhi's head.
Tan Yi and the rest turned pale with fright and were just about to stop him, but then they saw a dark thing suddenly fly out!
Chapter 2182 - Devilish Monster Appears
The dark thing vanished after a flash, being unimaginably swift, directly shuttling into the void.
The three great Heavenly Emperors were caught by surprise and could not even react in time.
However, Ye Yuan was long prepared, his mouth opening slightly.
"Immobilize!"
Ye Yuan uttered the true word, it was as if time stopped.
That black bug had not escaped yet and was immobilized in midair.
The three great Heavenly Emperor's eyes went wide, looking at this scene in disbelief, and actually forgot to make a move for a moment.
"Still in a daze for?" Ye Yuan shouted coldly.
Fallen Maple suddenly woke up. Pointing at the void, a powerful restriction directly spread out, thoroughly imprisoning the black bug.
This was an Empyrean level black bug. With Ye Yuan's strength, it was very hard to bind it. That was why he had Fallen Maple take action.
Ye Yuan's gaze looked over toward the black bug, but the three great Heavenly Emperors' gazes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan. It was as if they were looking at a monster.
The impact that the scene just now gave the three of them was seriously too strong!
Time and space froze at the same time!
Even Jun Mingxin was also affected by Ye Yuan's Time Freeze, his movement being sluggish for an instant.
As for Fallen Maple and Tan Yi, the influence was negligible.
The two of their strength were too powerful.
But this did not hinder their shock!
"Heavenly Dao True Word! It's actually Heavenly Dao True Word! An Empyrean Realm actually grasped Heavenly Dao True Word!" Fallen Maple s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath and cried out in surprise.
"How can this kid possibly grasped Heavenly Dao True Word?" Tan Yi said in surprise.
"What a formidable Heavenly Dao True Word! Just now, I was actually frozen for a moment!" Jun Mingxin said in shock.
Ye Yuan was still unaware, looking at the black bug, his expression increasingly solemn.
The aura that this black bug emitted, he was very familiar!
"This is … mn? All looking at me for what?" Ye Yuan turned around and was just about to discuss with the three people, but then he saw that the three people were currently using extremely strange gazes to look at him.
What do you think?
You freaking did such a heaven-defying move and still did not allow us to be surprised?
The three great Heavenly Emperors were rendered speechless.
Invisible posturing was the most lethal!
"Just now, what was that move of yours?" Fallen Maple asked.
Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, "You're talking about Time Freeze? That's the dragon race's innate divine ability! Could it be that Zheng Yufeng didn't tell you that I'm the Dragon Clan's Heaven's Chosen Son?"
Ye Yuan had an appearance of them getting excited over nothing.
Since he threw this title out, he was naturally not some nameless person in the Dragon Clan. Wouldn't possessing one or two powerful divine abilities be something very normal?
It was just that these people completely did not take his latter identity seriously.
"Time Freeze … the Dragon Clan's Heaven's Chosen Son …" Fallen Maple muttered under his breath, clearly not knowing what this Heaven's Chosen Son meant.
The Dragon Clan, this kind of demon race with a supreme bloodline, each one was incomparably mysterious.
In the Heavenspan World, even for Heavenly Emperor major powerhouses, very few could know about the secrets involved.
The title of Second Sage was resounding like the roar of thunder to them, resulting in overlooking the identity of the Dragon Clan's Heaven's Chosen Son.
But now, Fallen Maple knew that Heaven's Chosen Son was absolutely an identity that could rival Second Sage!
Just based on this move!
This person in front of him was truly a monster that was beyond words!
What kind of eyesight did Yue Mengli have? To find such a peerless monster?
With Ye Yuan, who could still enter her eyes?
Thinking up to here, Fallen Maple could not help pitying his disciple.
But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "This isn't important! What's important is that … this black bug is strange!"
The faces of Fallen Maple and the rest turned stern and asked, "Oh? What's strange?"
Ye Yuan said, "This thing is called an abyss monster!"
That was right! The aura coming off of this black bug was precisely the aura of an abyss monster!
Ye Yuan did not expect to actually see an abyss monster here.
Weren't these monsters suppressed in the Dragon Eye Cave by the Dragon Clan's major powers?
Could it be that … Li-er got caught in that kind of terrifying place?
Thinking up until here, Ye Yuan wished to fly to the Blackflame Cave immediately.
"Abyss monster? Never heard of this thing before!" Fallen Maple said with a blank face.
Ye Yuan flicked his finger and shot out a streak of sword energy, directly annihilating the black bug, and said in a solemn voice, "You don't need to know too much. You just have to know that these things are very dangerous, and that will do! Once these things run to the outside world, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering!"
Suppressing abyss monsters was the Dragon Clan's secret, the outside world did not know at all. Ye Yuan naturally would not spread it either.
But this thing suddenly appeared in the Heavenspan World, so it was clearly not a good omen.
Heari
ng this, the three people's expressions were strange. But Ye Yuan already returned to the head of the bed and continued exhibiting the Chaos Heavenly Star Art.
His Chaos Heavenly Star Art was all-inclusive, it could be said to have assembled the major accomplishments of his Alchemy Dao. Using it to shave the bone and heal the injury was naturally a cinch too.
Under the Chaos Heavenly Star Art, everything had nowhere to hide. Only then did Ye Yuan discover that this little abyss bug actually hid inside Zhuo Yuanzhi's sea of consciousness, being extremely covert.
It was also no wonder that Tan Yi, this Eight-star Alchemy God, did not discover it.
After a day and night, Zhuo Yuanzhi's decaying body actually started to slowly take a turn for the better.
That feeble aura of his actually slowly rose again too.
When Tan Yi saw this scene, his eyes became wide saucers!
"What an overbearing alchemy technique, to actually have such a miraculous effect! No wonder! No wonder Sacred Ancestor High Priest that kind of powerhouse actually viewed him in a different light, and he bestowed him the title of Second Sage!"
Another two days passed, Zhuo Yuanzhi finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this strange man in front of him, Zhuo Yuanzhi felt as if he was dreaming.
"Zhuo Yuanzhi, let me ask you. How is Li-er doing now?" The moment Zhuo Yuanzhi woke up, Ye Yuan was too impatient to wait and asked.
Zhuo Yuanzhi clearly had not woken up from the nightmarish state yet as he murmured, "L-Li-er?"
Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "It's Yue Mengli! Didn't you guys enter the Blackflame Cave together? Where is she now? Is she still alive?"
Zhuo Yuanzhi's eyes gradually focused, akin to waking up from a dream.
He struggled to recall the situation at that time, his gaze gradually becoming frightened.
"Ahh! Don't come over! Don't come over! I … I'll kill you all!"
Zhuo Yuanzhi seemed to have recalled some terrifying scene, his entire person became crazed, and he suddenly struck a palm out.
A terrifying force erupting at such a small distance, it could be seen how horrifying the power was.
But while he was quick, Ye Yuan was faster!
Zhuo Yuanzhi's force had not spat out yet, but Ye Yuan reached first despite launching later, pointing a finger out, directly restraining him.
Then, an extremely powerful soul force burrowed into Zhuo Yuanzhi's sea of consciousness domineeringly.
"Ye Yuan, what are you trying to do?" Fallen Maple said in alarm and anger.
Casting soul search, the damage to a person was irreversible.
But this scenario happened too suddenly. It was already too late for them to want to stop it.
Interrupting Ye Yuan at this time, it would be even more hopeless to salvage the situation for Zhuo Yuanzhi.
"Shut up! He'll be fine!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
Following that, one scene after another surfaced in Ye Yuan's mind.
After essence, energy, and spirit became one, Ye Yuan's divine soul strength became even more condensed and powerful.
Under the circ.u.mstances of Zhuo Yuanzhi being unconscious, Ye Yuan searching his divine soul would not cause harm.
Except, this scene in the view of Fallen Maple and the rest was something inconceivable.
Chapter 2183 - Entering Blackflame Cave
Tan Yi looked at Ye Yuan, his expression changing again and again.
He had always been paying attention to Zhuo Yuanzhi's activities and discovered that Zhuo Yuanzhi's divine soul did not get any damage.
Such terrifying divine soul control was simply inconceivable.
Even he, this Eight-star Alchemy God, could not achieve such precise control too.
"This … Is this the standard of Second Sage?"
Starting from when Ye Yuan stepped into this room, the few things that he did made him, this Eight-star Alchemy God, feel ashamed of his unworthiness.
Only then did he truly realize what kind of existence Second Sage was!
Fallen Maple's expression was somewhat ugly as he said with a bitter smile, "Just what kind of a monster did Mengli this lass take fancy on? Back then, I was still intent on matching her with Changqing. Thinking about it, it's really laughable!"
Lin Changqing and Yue Mengli two people were Fallen Maple Bodhidharma's golden child and jade girl.
Unconsciously, everyone had long already treated them as lovers, Fallen Maple was no exception either.
Toward these two disciples that he was most proud of, Fallen Maple naturally consciously or even unconsciously wanted to matchmake the two of them.
It was just that for so many years, Yue Mengli had always kept Lin Changqing at a distance.
Fallen Maple knew that Yue Mengli had Mister Right in her heart, so he did not mind either.
In his view, when Yue Mengli reached great heights in the future and became a supreme Heavenly Emperor together with Lin Changqing, why would she place a mortal in her sights?
But Fallen Maple never dreamed that the mortal he knew only used a short thousand years' time and stood in front of him.
Although his strength was far inferior to his, in terms of status, it was already sufficient to stand on equal footing with him!
Furthermore, the strength that he displayed, even they all, these Heavenly Emperors, had to look up to as well!
Achieving the position of a sovereign in the future was just a matter of time.
His previous idea naturally became a joke.
After a while, Ye Yuan let go of Zhuo Yuanzhi, the expression on his face became solemn.
From Zhuo Yuanzhi's memories, he saw that Li-er just happened to be pursued by several abyss monsters at that time.
Those Empyrean powerhouses had never seen before such a ferocious species, all fleeing helter-skelter.
The events that happened later, Zhuo Yuanzhi did not know anymore.
"Senior Fallen Maple, thank you for your hospitality. This Ye wants to set off for Blackflame Cave at once. Farewell!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and was about to leave.
"Hang on!" Fallen Maple hurriedly stopped Ye Yuan and said, "Actually, our seven great Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas have already reached a consensus. We plan on sending elite disciples over to Blackflame Cave this time to investigate thoroughly. Our Fallen Maple Bodhidharma plan on sending Yufeng and another Empyrean Realm disciple over. Why don't … Second Sage go together with them?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "They do theirs. I'll go on my own."
Ye Yuan was currently burning with anxiety, delaying for a moment more and Li-er would be in more danger.
He could not wait for a second longer.
Fallen Maple knew what Ye Yuan was thinking and said, "Actually, Yufeng they all are all set already. If not for Second Sage suddenly coming up the mountain, they might have already set off at this time. Since Second Sage wants to go, this emperor will have them set off at once, how's that?"
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Fine as well!"
On Sunset Peak, Zheng Yufeng brought four Empyrean powerhouses and prepared to set off with Ye Yuan.
These five Empyreans were shockingly all middle-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouses!
The few people were just about to set off when suddenly, a figure blocked their path.
It was none other than precisely Lin Changqing!
Lin Changqing directly knelt down toward Fallen Maple and gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please let Changqing go along!"
Fallen Maple said unhappily, "Nonsense! The Blackflame Cave is very dangerous, even if your Senior Apprentice Brother Yufeng went, Master is also filled with anxiety, let alone you? Go back!"
Lin Changqing had reddened eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "If Master doesn't let me go, I'll kneel down and not get up!"
Fallen Maple was just about to fly off the handle, but he heard Ye Yuan said coolly, "Senior Fallen Maple, let him go."
Fallen Maple let out a sigh and
waved his hand powerlessly and said, "Sigh, foolish! Go then, go on!"
With his eyesight, how could he not tell that Lin Changqing was going for the sake of Yue Mengli?
It was just that …
Fallen Maple gave Ye Yuan a glance and took a look at Lin Changqing again, finally, it turned into a long sigh.
… …
The group of people marched day and night without rest, with stars as a cloak and the moon as a hat, spending half a month's time, and finally rushed to Angry Nether Riverbank.
Angry Nether Riverbank was presently already the various major faction's forbidden ground.
But at this time, there were still many powerhouses surrounding and watching at the river.
These people were mostly Empyrean Realm powerhouses that came from the various major forces.
On the river, there was an enormous and dark cave entrance. There was dense black aura smoking around it. It was as if it was a prehistoric behemoth about to devour everything.
"Zheng Yufeng, why is your Fallen Maple Bodhidharma dragging your feet, only arriving now?" At this time, a middle-aged man came up and said to Zheng Yufeng.
Zheng Yufeng said, "Brother Li Yue, we were delayed for a while by some matters, hence, we came late."
Li Yue took a look at Ye Yuan and Lin Changqing behind Zheng Yufeng and said with a frown, "Isn't it agreed to only send middle-stage Empyrean Realms over? You guys brought two burdens. At that time, we'll still have to divide our attention to take care of them! Lin Changqing, this brat too, the two of you stay behind!"
When Lin Changqing heard that, his expression could not help changing.
He was indeed a genius, but his strength had not truly become powerful yet.
In front of Li Yue, he was still a junior!
While Ye Yuan behaved like he did not hear it at all, slowly walking to the riverbank, and sized up the Blackflame Cave's entrance seriously.
A very familiar feeling!
He had stayed for as long as ten years in Dragon Eye Cave and absorbed countless devilish energy.
But the strength of this devilish energy was much weaker compared to the Dragon Eye Cave.
Just as Fallen Maple said, this cave entrance was extremely unstable. Late-stage Empyrean powerhouses entering inside would probably make space collapse too.
