Unrivaled Medicine God

by <unknown>

  Ye Yuan was stunned. “So simple?”

  Guo Taoqun burst into laughter and said, “Simple? Haha! It’s Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is thinking of things too simply! Don’t look at how we have 300 people who entered this Vast Heaven Mystic Realm. In this first level, close to half of the martial artists will be eliminated! We’re only at the entrance area right now, so the number of demonic beasts is not many. When reaching the deep regions of the first level, the numbers of these Tier 2 demonic beasts will reach an extremely terrifying number! Even Sea Transformation Realm experts might not be able to retreat unscathed! Although I broke through to the Soul Sea Realm now, I don’t dare to keep on fighting in the beast horde either. Otherwise, my essence energy will be exhausted sooner or later and be eliminated.”

  Only now did Ye Yuan come to understand. If it was just vanquishing Tier 2 demonic beasts, then that was truly too simple.

  Although the strength of Tier 2 demonic beasts was not powerful, once the numbers reach a certain level, it would produce a qualitative change.

  No matter how high your boundary was, it could not withstand the exhaustion from confronting too many demonic beasts!

  High tier martial artists were hailed as invincible. In real life situation, that was the case too.

  But in theory, low ranking martial artists could completely use numbers to exhaust high-tier martial artists to death!

  Ye Yuan thought about it and asked, “Could it be that the demonic beasts in this first level can’t all be killed completely?”

  Chapter 551. Why Did You Only Just Arrive? |

  Hearing Ye Yuan’s query, Guo Taoqun could not help being stupefied.

  “This . . . I really don’t know. Probably, no one will be dumb enough to kill off all the demonic beasts here, right? Although these demonic beasts are not corporeal bodies, their strength is not the slightest bit inferior to real demonic beasts. Those endless demonic beasts, unless one has a Divine Traversing Realm strength, otherwise, nobody dares to stay here to kill off all the demonic beasts.”

  Guo Taoqun felt that this question of Ye Yuan’s was somewhat hard to answer, so he replied it like this.

  Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.

  He killed a demonic beast earlier and also felt that these demonic beasts were not corporeal, but it seemed to be formed from some type of energy.

  But the strength of that demonic beast just now was not the slightest bit inferior to Tier 2 demonic beasts.

  If these demonic beasts reached a certain number, even Soul Sea Realm experts would not dare to clash head-on either.

  “They all went to the inner region. Let’s go too,” Ye Yuan said.

  Guo Taoqun hurriedly followed after and said to Ye Yuan, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, it’s very easy to pass through this first level. How about we compete on who passes the first level first?”

  To the current Guo Taoqun, Tier 2 demonic beasts truly had no way of threatening him. As long as he charged over with all his might, those demonic beasts could not stop him.

  With the desire to win stirring inside him, Guo Taoqun gave birth to the thought of competing with Ye Yuan for a bit.

  But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard and said, “If it’s battling you, I really don’t have much assurance in beating you. But to compete in speed with you, you’ll definitely lose.”

  Guo Taoqun had a face full of disbelief and said, “Might not be so, right?”

  He was at the Soul Sea Realm now. Even if he did not have full assurance in winning Ye Yuan, in terms of battle endurance and explosive power, he was confident that he could surpass Ye Yuan.

  The reason why Ye Yuan could cross boundaries to battle and his greatest reliance were that terrifying concept comprehension of his.

  If it was competing in speed, with Ye Yuan facing so many Tier 2 demonic beasts’ obstruction, for him wanting to be faster than Guo Taoqun, it was virtually impossible.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, “If you don’t believe me, let’s just compete. But we don’t need to compete until the finish point. Just determining the victor will do.”

  “Fine! Compete away then! Starting now!”

  Guo Taoqun’s voice had yet to fade, and his entire person already dashed out like an arrow discharging.

  Ye Yuan smiled faintly. His movement technique activated, and he followed after too.

  At the start, this stretch of area was practically a vast expanse of flat land. What these two people competed in was naturally leg strength.

  Yet, Guo Taoqun discovered to his dismay that no matter how hard he exerted his strength to speed up his movement technique, Ye Yuan was around not far from him from start to end. Ye Yuan was like a dog-skin plaster sticking to him.

  Ye Yuan’s current movement technique was still Spirit Void Shattering Space. But ever since comprehending the Concept of Wind, Ye Yuan applied the Concept of Wind into his movement technique.

  The two superimposed. Although Ye Yuan was only Second Level Sea Transformation right now, his speed was not the slightest bit slower than Guo Taoqun’s.

  Along the way, the two people casually slew the Tier 2 demonic beasts around them, running neck to neck all the way.

  After two hours, Guo Taoqun stopped gloomily and said to Ye Yuan, “I say, aren’t you too freakish? Offensive power so formidable, even movement technique is also so freakish! I broke through to Soul Sea Realm now and cultivated Tier 4 movement technique and actually can’t shake you off!”

  Ye Yuan stopped too and said smilingly, “This movement technique of yours isn’t bad. If you can train it to the Great Circle Stage, I won’t be able to keep up.”

  Guo Taoqun involuntarily rolled his eyes. He just broke through to Soul Sea Realm not long ago. How could he possibly train the Tier 4 movement technique to the Great Circle Stage?

  “Heh heh, even if your movement technique is any faster, it’s useless too! Starting from now, the number of demonic beasts will get increasingly more. Although movement technique is important, endurance and essence energy are the key to determining victory!”

  Guo Taoqun finished talking and dashed out once more.

  Before long, sure enough, as Guo Taoqun said, the number of demonic beasts became increasingly more, virtually surrounding the two people.

  Everyone’s destination was pretty much the same. With 300 people in this first level, the chances of everyone bumping was still very high.

  But as they got deeper and deeper in, martial artists’ miserable cries would sound out from time to time from the two people’s surroundings and then disappear. Clearly, they were transported out of Vast Heaven Pagoda.

  But those being transported out were basically all Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.

  Like Guo Taoqun said, this first level was going to eliminate a large batch of martial artists.

  Guo Taoqun was a peak existence among the junior generation himself. Now, especially after breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm, his strength was incomparably daunting.

  Demonic beasts that approached him practically all had the outcome of being instantly killed.

  But along with the increasing number of demonic beasts, Guo Taoqun also gradually put away his mentality of playing around and started to treat things seriously.

  Failing miserably at a simple task was not something fun.

  Around another two hours passed. Guo Taoqun finally could not resist darting a glance to the back with his eyes. He was delighted inwardly. Because there was already no sign of Ye Yuan.

  Evidently, Ye Yuan was already blocked by the demonic beasts.

  Even though he overwhelmed Ye Yuan with the advantage of cultivation realm, Guo Taoqun still felt very accomplished.

  Ye Yuan’s monstrousness virtually made people despair.

  Regardless of winning him under any kind of circumstances, it was all something to be very thrilled about.

  Being besieged by so many demonic beasts, the consumption speed of a Sea Transformation Realm’s essence e
nergy was much faster than a Soul Sea Realm’s.

  In order to reduce this kind of expenditure, the martial artist must carefully utilize their own essence energy. This way, the speed of killing demonic beasts was bound to slow down.

  Charging ahead blindly, the speed of essence energy consumption would shoot up by several folds.

  With Ye Yuan’s Second Level Sea Transformation essence energy level, it would be exhausted entirely very quickly.

  How could such a clever person like Ye Yuan possibly do this kind of foolish thing because of a small competition?

  “Heh heh, charge ahead for a distance, then wait for Ye Yuan and tell him that I won! Haha! I really want to see the expression of him losing the competition!”

  Guo Taoqun was talking, but his hands were not slow. In a blink of an eye, another dozen over demonic beasts were killed, and he charged forward once again.

  After a while, Guo Taoqun suddenly discovered that the demonic beasts ahead seemed to be increasingly lesser.

  “En? What’s going on? Logically speaking, the further in one goes, there should be more demonic beasts. Could it be that I had too much fun killing and actually lost my way? That’s wrong, the direction should be correct. Really weird!” Guo Taoqun could not figure it out.

  He continued dashing ahead but discovered that the demonic beasts around became lesser and lesser. The puzzlement in his heart grew.

  All of a sudden, ahead of him was clear and spacious, without even a single demonic beast.

  And in front of him, Ye Yuan was currently looking at him calmly, with a wide grin on his face.

  “Why are you only here now? I’ve already waited for a long time! With nothing to do, I cleared away the surrounding demonic beasts and finally can have a break,” Ye Yuan said smilingly.

  “. . . . . .” Guo Taoqun stared at Ye Yuan with wide-saucers for eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

  “You . . . Just how did you do it? You’re only at the Sea Transformation Realm. How can you possibly be so much faster than me?” It was only after some time did Guo Taoqun come back to his senses and ask out this question.

  Chapter 552. Nameless Energy |

  Of course, Ye Yuan would be that much faster than him!

  The number of these demonic beasts looked to be extremely horrifying. But to talk about crowd-control measures, was there any martial technique more powerful than Ye Yuan’s Thousand Flowing Petals?

  At least in this Endless World, such a martial technique probably could not be found.

  If these demonic beasts’ ranks were high, then forget it. If it were just Tier 2 demonic beasts, Ye Yuan could casually summon a cluster of petals and it would basically be an instant kill.

  More importantly, Thousand Flowing Petals was a type of perpetual martial technique. As long as Ye Yuan’s essence energy was not exhausted, he could constantly summon more petals by his side.

  Guo Taoqun naturally had crowd-control type martial techniques too. But firstly, crowd-control type martial techniques had tremendous expenditure. Secondly, unleashing it takes time. The losses outweighed the gains.

  To the vast majority of the people in the Vast Heaven Pagoda right now, charging into the second level was the most important thing. Guo Taoqun was clearly not an exception too.

  Along the way, Ye Yuan displayed the Thousand Flowing Petals. His advancement speed was not much slower compared to when without demonic beasts.

  In comparison, the demonic beasts in front of Guo Taoqun got increasingly more. His speed naturally slowed down.

  “Huhu, I said that you’d definitely lose. You just had to insist on a pummeling. Alright, you go to the second level by yourself. I’ll circle around the first level some more,” said Ye Yuan. As he said this, he was making his move to leave.

  Guo Taoqun was stunned. “What’s there to circle around in the first level? The first level had long been cleared countless times. If there were any hidden rewards, it would have long been discovered by people. But up till today, there was simply nobody who discovered any additional rewards.”

  Ye Yuan said smilingly, “It’s fine. I’m just curious. You go on first.”

  As he said this, Ye Yuan’s figure leaped, vanishing inside the demonic beast herd.

  Guo Taoqun saw Ye Yuan moving freely among the demonic beasts. It was as if it was an uninhabited land. His eye could not help becoming wide-saucers.

  Only at this time did he know why Ye Yuan’s speed was much faster than his.

  The demonic beasts here completely did not have their own consciousness and attacked martial artists with no fear of death at all. But those demonic beasts simply could not approach Ye Yuan’s body.

  Clusters of petals willfully reaped the lives of those demonic beasts.

  “Hiss . . . Monsters are monsters. Indeed not what mortals like us can compare to!”

  After a long while, Guo Taoqun gave a sigh and turned around, rushing to the depths of the first level.

  . . . . . .

  After half a day, in a remote corner of the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s first level, Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes.

  “These demonic beasts are all formed from a type of energy. Slaying these demonic beasts can actually acquire a trace of this type of energy! And this type of energy can actually convert into essence energy, promoting the advancement of cultivation! Truly unbelievably miraculous!” Ye Yuan muttered under his breath.

  In the beginning, Ye Yuan did not notice yet. But when he was competing with Guo Taoqun, Ye Yuan slaughtered large numbers of demonic beasts and finally noticed a hint of something wrong.

  After those demonic beasts were killed, there was a strand of extremely minute energy that entered inside Ye Yuan’s body.

  This wisp of energy was extremely minute; it was virtually undetectable.

  If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Yuan killed a large number of demonic beasts within a period of time and those energies converged to form a small tuft, Ye Yuan would not be able to discover it at all.

  Ye Yuan was also uncertain if this type of energy was harmful to the body or not. So he bid farewell to Guo Taoqun and found a covert place to investigate.

  He casually laid down a set of array formation. Those Tier 2 demonic beasts were simply incapable of barging inside. Then he started to study this small tuft of energy.

  But with this investigation, Ye Yuan discovered that with his experience and knowledge, he actually could not recognize what this energy was!

  After failing to glean anything with numerous attempts, Ye Yuan simply mustered essence energy and attempted to force that trace of energy out of the body.

  But Ye Yuan did not expect that once the energy came into contact with essence energy, it actually merged into the essence energy with a whoosh.

  This was no trifling matter. Ye Yuan hurriedly wanted to expel the nameless energy. But after that tuft of energy fused into his own essence energy, it was like a poisonous sore inflicted deep into the bones, no longer able to separate.

  Ye Yuan unleashed all of his skills to the utmost and could not do anything to that mass of nameless energy.

  But that mass of energy just quietly lay within his essence energy sea and did not have make any excessive action. Only then did this let Ye Yuan be slightly at ease.

  Later on, Ye Yuan might as well just circulate the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and started to refine that mass of essence energy.

  What surprised Ye Yuan was that the nameless energy really reacted!

  Before long, the nameless energy was actually refined into essence energy. It made Ye Yuan’s boundary loosen up a trace. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.

  Although Ye Yuan had killed many demonic beasts, the nameless energy obtained was an extremely, extremely tiny speck.

  Ye Yuan internally viewed that trace of essence energy. It seemed to be a little different from the essence energy that he originally cultivated. But just how was it different, Ye Yuan could not determine it.

  To really say it
out, Ye Yuan had a feeling that this kind of essence energy seemed to be even more powerful than the essence energy which he previously cultivated!

  “This type of energy can actually promote essence energy. Then wouldn’t I be able to use this energy to undergo cultivation? Guo Taoqun said that this first level did not have any additional rewards. Could it be that this is the first level’s hidden boon? It’s just that this type of energy . . Just what in the world is it? Why is it that even I haven’t heard of it before?”

  Ye Yuan thought for a long time and could not figure out the reason why either.

  But he felt that this energy should not be harmful to the human body. Hence, he made a bold decision: kill off all the demonic beasts in the first level!

  Since this type of energy could increase cultivation, how could Ye Yuan let it slip by?

  “When soldiers arrive, use a general to keep them off. When water rises, build a dam with earth. If some problem were to really occur, just think of ways to resolve it in the future!”

  . . . . . .

  Outside the Vast Heaven pagoda, those sects’ old ancestors all stared at the light screen, wanting to see to what extent their own juniors had progressed to.

  “Somebody entered the second level!”

  “En? Who is Liu Hong? He’s actually the first one to enter the second level!”

  “The first to rush into the second level is actually not the Three Sects’ head disciples? Where did this Liu Hong pop out from?”

  . . . . . .

  The second level was totally empty right now. Therefore, Liu Hong’s name was very conspicuous.

  This name appeared abruptly, making everyone all feel somewhat caught off-guard. Because before this, simply no one had heard of this name.

  The expressions of the Three Sects’ old ancestors were very ugly. They had a feeling of getting their faces slapped.

  It was fine if Ye Yuan was monstrous. Where did this Liu Hong pop out from? To actually prevail over the Three Sects?

  One had to know that Qin Yan and Guo Taoqun they all were at the Soul Sea Realm now. Among the junior generation, they should be sweeping away everyone else. But now, they were actually surpassed by an unknown boy!
