"Forget it, forget it! Don't know what kind of fortune this little girl garnered in her previous life, to actually be able to encounter a person like you! Follow me back first. This matter still needs to be discussed at length. You actually wasted Zhao Chenggan. The Wind Emperor most likely won't leave the matter at that!" Star Abyss heaved a sigh.
"Great grace can't be thanked with words. Today's matter, I, Ye Yuan, remembered it." Ye Yuan said coolly.
"What's there to thank? If you were really a spy, I wouldn't care less about you! It's just . . . who asked you to be somebody that Master, his elderly self, holds in high esteem?" Star Abyss said with a sigh.
"Haha. Didn't think that one day, I, Ye Yuan, would actually receive Li Daohang's grace," Ye Yuan said with a self-ridiculing laugh.
Star Abyss had just brought everyone and walked not far out when he discovered a silhouette blocking their path!
This scene happened too unreal, making everyone unwittingly feel their eyes blurring.
Because just earlier, there was clearly nobody there. But the next instant, a person suddenly popped up there, as if he appeared out of thin air.
Such a bizarre thing involuntarily made people feel a chill down their spine.
Looking at the arrival, Star Abyss's expression had an indescribable graveness.
Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly and already had some guesses about this person's identity.
"Star Abyss, although your Alchemist Association isn't under my rule, harboring people from another world like this truly make Us bitterly disappointed," the person opened his mouth and said apathetically.
This person that showed up bizarrely was actually the absolute sovereign of the Fierce Gale World: the Wind Emperor Zhao Tianyin!
And he was also the Fierce Gale World's one and only Boundless Realm martial artist! An existence that looked down upon myriad worlds!
Zhao Tianyin's age did not look old, still maintaining the appearance of a middle-age person. Seemed like in his younger days, he was already an extremely powerful existence.
Of course, if he was not a peerlessly talented person, how could he possibly break through to the Boundless Realm in the Lower Realms and attain the position of the Wind Emperor?
Zhao Tianyin wore a casual dragon robe. Apart from this, there were not too many ornaments, seemingly no different from an ordinary person. It actually gave people a feeling of returning to one's original simplicity!
Star Abyss sucked in a deep breath and said in a slightly low voice, "Since you know that the Alchemist Association isn't under your jurisdiction, why did you dare to touch my disciples?"
Even an existence like Star Abyss, when facing a Boundless Realm powerhouse, felt immense pressure too.
One had to know that under such an environment like the Lower Realms, Boundless Realm represented invincibility!
Even Peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were only just slightly stronger ants in front of the Boundless Realm Wind Emperor.
If not for this, why would the Grand Yan True Sect need to sacrifice countless Divine Traversing Realm martial artists to cast the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array back then?
Zhao Tianyin ruminated for a moment and said coolly, "Looks like . . . you knew his identity long ago!"
Chapter 437. Unprecedented Humiliation! |
"My own disciple, of course I know. If I didn't know beforehand, why would I appear here now?" Star Abyss said.
"Although you're the Alchemist Association's Chairman, you're also born and bred in the Fierce Gale World. Is what you're doing here treating this land that raised you fairly?"
"One, I didn't do anything that let down the Fierce Gale World. Second, my disciple also didn't do anything to let down the Fierce Gale World. The so-called conspiracy theories are completely conceived out of your own imagination. My disciple only came to save his seniors. Being serious, my disciple came to the Fierce Gale World still because the Swift Wind Guards captured his seniors, isn't it so?"
"But you also saw this child's strength. If We let him leave unchecked, he'll be my Fierce Gale World's mortal malady. Once he leaves, there will be many, many Fierce Gale World brave warriors that will die in his hands next time. You're also a titan of a world. Don't you consider for your people?"
The two people had a lively conversation and were actually like old friends of many years chatting.
These two people did not belong to the same group. Although they knew each other for many years, they were not some old friends. Star Abyss even once caused mayhem in the capital for his disciple's matter and forced the third prince to death.
But at their realm and status, every action had the demeanor of an expert and would naturally not look like lower level martial artists squabbling.
Yet, from the contents of their conversation, their opinions clearly could not reach a consensus. The smell of gunpowder gradually thickened as well.
This was absolutely not some good news to Ye Yuan's side.
And the Wind Emperor's words clearly struck Star Abyss's Achilles heel. If Ye Yuan returned to the Endless World, there would bound to be many Fierce Gale World martial artists who would die in his hands in the future.
In such a war between two worlds, nobody could detach themselves from it.
Ye Yuan could enter deep into the Fierce Gale World today for his seniors. He would surely have to kill people for his close ones in the future!
And Ye Yuan's potential was seriously too scary. This point, no one could refute.
These words that the Wind Emperor said was actually equivalent to admitting that he dreaded Ye Yuan very much.
"Humph! Posing as someone with high morals!" Ye Yuan suddenly said with a cold snort.
Once these words came out, everyone's countenance changed visibly.
In this world, there was actually somebody who dared to provoke the Wind Emperor!
Even if Ye Yuan's talent was heaven-defying, this gall was also too fat!
Even if Ye Yuan defeated Zhao Chenggan, before the Wind Emperor, he was still nothing at all. As long as the Wind Emperor was willing, he could kill Ye Yuan without even needing a finger!
Soul Sea Realm. The divine soul communicating with one's essence energy sea, one could manipulate heaven and earth essence energy.
Divine Traversing Ream. The divine soul and essence energy sea merge into one, roaming the world freely. One could manipulate heaven and earth essence energy in a large scope.
Boundless Realm. The divine soul gains a preliminary glimpse into the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. One could take control of heaven and earth essence energy within a fixed boundary. Saying that they were controllers was not over the top!
Hence, the Wind Emperor wanting to kill Ye Yuan now was practically just a matter of a thought.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Zhao Tianyin glanced sideways slightly and looked at Ye Yuan.
Everyone's hearts were thumping and had no clue how the Wind Emperor would punish Ye Yuan.
"Is there weight for you to speak here? Puny little Crystal Formation martial artist, saw Us and actually dare to not kneel!" Zhao Tianyin's dignified voice sounded.
Zhao Tianyin was not seen taking any action either. All of a sudden, the surrounding heaven and earth essence energy became berserk and actually squeezed towards Ye Yuan like a cage!
This was too sudden. Everyone did not react in time.
Immediately, Ye Yuan felt a weight of 30 thousand catties on his shoulders as if a pair of large hands was forcefully pressing him down to make him kneel!
Ye Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and his knees gradually bending. All the bones in his body gave off creaking sounds as he used all the strength in his body to resist.
"Who . . . the hell . . . are you, to also . . . also fit to make me . . . kneel down?"
Ye Yuan's face turned red, and he said this sentence word by word.
Zhao Tianyin said emotionlessly, "We are the ruler of a world. Could it be that We cannot bear a kneel of you
rs?"
"I, Ye Yuan . . . only kneel to parents and don't kneel to . . . the heaven! Compared to the heaven . . . what do you even count as?"
As he said, Ye Yuan's jaws were chattering. Each word needed to use his entire body's strength.
Ye Yuan's back was already bent, both legs slightly curved, but he stubbornly refused to kneel down.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone's faces including Zhao Tianyin's all changed.
What martial artists practiced was Heavenly Dao. What they feared most and held in reverence most was also Heavenly Dao!
The might of Heavenly Dao was what humans simply could not surmise.
Ye Yuan actually uttered words like this. Simply too unbridled!
"Speaking recklessly of heaven! Truly don't know life from death! With your strength, how do you know the terror of heaven?" Zhao Tianyin said.
"Zhao Tianyin! You're still not staying your hand yet?! Humiliating my disciple like today, you have to make preparations to receive my wrath!" Star Abyss saw Ye Yuan's agonizing state, and his heart pounded.
Speaking recklessly about heaven?
Among the people present here, there was probably nobody who understood heaven better than Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan was burdened with a deeply-seated blood feud and had already long lost awe and veneration towards heaven.
Alive again, he was going against heaven!
The heaven wanted to exterminate him, Ye Yuan. Then he, Ye Yuan, was going to ask the heaven why it was so unjust!
Although it was uncertain who Ye Yuan's enemy was, a person that could kill a peak Alchemy Emperor was definitely among the peak existences in the Divine Realm.
Compared to them, Zhao Tianyin truly did not count as anything.
Moreover, with Ye Yuan former identity, how could he willingly kneel down towards a puny little Boundless Realm?
If it were before, Boundless Realm was not even fit to lick Ye Yuan's shoes!
Star Abyss could understand Ye Yuan's words. He did not feel surprised. But Zhao Tianyin humiliating Ye Yuan like this was what he could not accept.
Who knew that this time, Zhao Tianyin was a never before unyielding. "Star Abyss, although I dread your identity, it's not without a bottom line. Furthermore, not everyone by your side can scorn Our prestige! Even if he's your disciple, making him kneel down to greet Us the first time meeting Us is not considered overboard, right? Moreover, he crippled Gan-er. This kneel serves as making an apology."
With Zhao Tianyin saying it like this, Star Abyss really had nothing to say.
If Ye Yuan was his eighth disciple, even if Ye Yuan was somebody from the Endless World, kneeling down to greet the Wind Emperor was nothing inappropriate.
But the problem was that making an Alchemy Emperor kneel to the Wind Emperor was an unprecedented humiliation!
Although Star Abyss did not interact much with Ye Yuan, regarding his temperament, he still had some understanding.
Even if Ye Yuan were to die, it was also not possible to kneel towards the Wind Emperor!
For a moment, Star Abyss fell into a dilemma and did not know what words he should use to rebut Zhao Tianyun.
Right then, Xiao Ruyan suddenly scurried out from the crowd and kneeled to the Wind Emperor with a slam.
"Your Majesty, the Wind Emperor, I beg you, let Master go! He . . . He only did it for the sake of saving his seniors and is really not a spy! If Your Majesty wishes to punish, Ruyan is willing to die in his place!" Xiao Ruyan's face was smeared in tears, but her face had indescribable stubbornness.
"Ruyan! You mustn't be rude! Get back for me!" Xiao Changfeng hastily reproached in alarm when he saw the situation.
Offending the Wind Emperor was not a burden that his Xiao Family could bear!
Chapter 438. Made You Suffer |
The Wind Emperor turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Ruyan. Ye Yuan could not help freaking out in his heart.
He had long seen through that this Wind Emperor was not some good-natured person.
To be able to kick off a war between two worlds for his own personal interests, such a person was a fierce and ambitious person no matter how one looked at him.
How could such a character take pity on a frail little girl?
"You, this baby girl, don't know what's good for you either! To actually help an aberrant person from another world plead for leniency! The Xiao Family received Our grace for generations, and this is how you repay Us? Alright then, since you want to die, then We will send you off!"
The Wind Emperor's words did not carry the slightest hint of emotion, making people feel a chill in their hearts when they heard them.
"Don't . . . !" Ye Yuan shouted.
But it was as if Zhao Tianyin did not hear it at all. Only to see him raise his hand slightly, his index finger lightly flicked. A starlight flew towards Xiao Ruyan's heart like a comet!
Nobody had any suspicion that as long as this bit of starlight touched Xiao Ruyan, she would be dead for sure!
But at this time, who could save her?
The starlight arrived in front of Xiao Ruyan in the blink of an eye. But it was like Xiao Ruyan did not see it at all. She currently had her back turned to look at Ye Yuan, giving him a gentle smile!
Swoosh! Bang!
The starlight did not strike Xiao Ruyan, but flew towards the far-end, smashing onto the ground.
An enormous rumble sounded. Rock fragments were smashed flying all around.
Xiao Ruyan . . . disappeared!
Regarding this surprise, the Wind Emperor was calm like before. He then turned to Ye Yuan. "Spatial spirit artifact? Looks like I still underestimated you."
Turned out that in that critical juncture just now, Ye Yuan unleashed the spatial spirit artifact and transported Xiao Ruyan inside!
This scene naturally could not escape the Wind Emperor's eyes.
"However . . . you can't even protect yourself right now; you actually still have the thought to bother with others. I want to see to what extent you can hold out!"
Zhao Tianyin's voice had just faded when Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure around him immediately increased multiple folds!
That horrifying pressure even squeezed the space until it morphed, giving people a very unreal feeling when looked at.
And Ye Yuan's body sunk down more than half under this kind of pressure. One knee was practically on the verge of touching the ground!
"Puhwark!"
Ye Yuan spurred the essence energy in his body frenziedly, trying to straighten up his back desperately. Under the enormous pressure, Ye Yuan finally could not resist vomiting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Not only so, under the compression of space, the skin on Ye Yuan's entire body also cracked, oozing out blood, looking very wretched.
"Zhao Tianyin! If you have the capabilities . . . kill me! Even if I'm . . . beaten until my bones are ground to dust, I also . . . won't kneel down!" Ye Yuan practically snarled it out.
"Kill you? Killing you is too easy! As long as I'm willing, what's hard about grinding your bones to dust? But . . . I only want your kneel," Zhao Tianyin said coolly.
Zhao Tianyin waved his hand once more. The pressure around Ye Yuan skyrocketed once more!
Very clearly, as long as he was willing, he could crush Ye Yuan's body into pieces with just this move. And the pressure that he was applying right now was just a drop in the bucket of his strength. The goal was to make Ye Yuan kneel down.
Under the tremendous pressure, Ye Yuan's consciousness gradually blurred, his body dropped bit by bit too.
Seeing Ye Yuan's wretched appearance, Star Abyss's fury finally ignited too!
However, he had yet to take action when he heard Zhao Tianyin say indifferently, "Star Abyss, I advise that you better not make a move. You're aware, on the Martial Path, you're too weak!"
As he said, Zhao Tianyin casually pointed with a finger again. Heaven and earth essence energy immediately formed a thin membrane, wrapping Star Abyss inside.
Star Abyss's face changed and smacked out a palm at the thin membrane.
Bang!
The thin membrane did not move a hint, and Star Abyss was actually bounced back!
This was the strength of a Boundless Realm martial artist!
Even the sovereign level Star Abyss was so incapable of withstanding a single blow in front of Zhao Tianyin!
"Alright, wait there obediently. After I take care of this brat, we'll slowly chat," Zhao Tianyin said faintly.
Star Abyss gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Tianyin, you . . . deserve death!"
But Zhao Tianyin did not pay attention to Star Abyss anymore. He increased essence energy for Ye Yuan once more!
"Argh!"
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's aura rose frenziedly. His eyes were blood-red as he stared at Zhao Tianyin icily.
Zhao Tianyin said lightly, "Burning blood essence huh . . . Burning 50% of blood essence in one go, you've virtually already ruined your own foundation. Doing this . . . just in order to not kneel down before me? Truly an obstinate youth. But . . . the more this is the case, the more I want to make you kneel. Haha."
Ye Yuan was heavily injured originally. Under Zhao Tianyin's pressure, he had reached his limits long ago already.
He could persist until now by relying entirely on a single conviction to hang in there.
Ye Yuan was self-aware that he was certain to be killed and simply burnt 50% blood essence in one shot, instantly filling the essence energy in his body to the brim!
Under such a condition, he actually slowly stood up a little!
However . . . all of this was futile. Ye Yuan compared to Boundless Realm martial artists, the gap was too great!
Just pushed back some and Zhao Tianyin slightly exerted pressure again, immediately pushing Ye Yuan down.
Boom!
Ye Yuan's feet actually trod the ground until it caved in!
And at this time, Ye Yuan's knee was only a mere couple of inches distance away from the ground!
Burning 50% blood essence was also unable to resist even a tiny bit of time.
