Unrivaled Medicine God, page 1002
Clearly, everyone did not know Empyrean Chaoyuan’s true strength. There were even many Empyreans who had stupefied faces.
Empyrean Pilljade wanted to make use of Empyrean Chaoyuan to block Ye Yuan and chase him out of the Cloudpill Summit!
Everyone said that Empyrean Pilljade and Empyrean Flutterfeather were not on good terms. This was indeed the case.
But while surprise was surprise, everyone was still looking forward to this battle immensely.
Just as Empyrean Pilljade said, the clash of two great grand completion Dao Realms was bound to be a fierce struggle between two evenly-matched opponents.
This kind of alchemy battle was hard to come across in ten thousand years!
After the surprise, the alchemy battles continued.
It was just that the battles afterward no longer had much suspense.
Empyrean Daogan, Empyrean Wenlan, even the rank three Empyrean Remotenight, when they went up the stage, they all had expressions like their parents had died, being extremely ugly.
How venerated were their statuses? Now, they had to undergo a sure-lose alchemy battle under the watchful gazes of the people. It was really even more awful than killing them.
These few great Empyreans were all leading authority class figures. What they valued the most were their own feathers. Even if they really had to lose, it also could not be in front of so many people’s faces.
At this very moment, their intestines were green with regret.
But how could they have thought that Ye Yuan would actually be monstrous to such a degree?
Thinking about it now, their provocation seemed so laughable.
A late-stage Dao Realm expert challenging a grand completion Dao Realm powerhouse?
It was not on the same level at all, alright?!
The results were as expected. Even Empyrean Remotenight could not gain the least bit of advantage under Ye Yuan’s hands too, and he was defeated in the end.
But these few Empyrean’s final medicinal pill grades were all peak superior-grade without exception.
At this time, everyone finally came to realize the truth, turns out that Ye Yuan did it on purpose!
Even Empyrean Remotenight was firmly suppressed by Ye Yuan to peak superior-grade, so how terrifying was his control over alchemy?
Late-stage Dao Realm and grand completion Dao Realm, only being a hair away, but the strength was worlds apart.
After Empyrean Remotenight quietly walked off, everyone roused themselves.
The main show had arrived!
Even the powerhouses on the grandmaster seats also became 120% alert, looking forward to this pinnacle battle!
This match was absolutely a pinnacle battle!
Because Empyrean Realm Pilljade was the only Ancestor Realm powerhouse, no one was his match at all. So the battle of peak Dao Realm was the pinnacle battle.
The six great holy lands’ masters cherished their feathers, it was impossible to fight in front of people.
If not for a Ye Yuan appearing today, they could forget about seeing this kind of pinnacle battle all their lives.
Empyrean Chaoyuan looked towards Ye Yuan and said with a hint of marveling, “Truly didn’t expect that this old man would actually have a day where I’d cross swords with an opponent like you.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “In this world, the unexpected things are in the majority. The things within expectations are few.”
Empyrean Chaoyuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, “Good, an extraordinarily intelligent child! This old man hasn’t had this kind of blood-boiling feeling for far too long already. Encountering you today made this old man much younger all of a sudden!”
As he said this, he took out a medicinal cauldron. But it was not the Daytime Cauldron. It was a true god mystic treasure.
“This is the cauldron that this old man used back then. This old man won’t take advantage of you when crossing swords with you,” Empyrean Chaoyuan said.
But when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he shook his head and said, “Our battle should naturally call forth all the resources in our power. The Daytime Cauldron is Brother Chaoyuan’s highest standard. If this Ye has an empyrean spirit treasure, I’d also take it out without the slightest hesitation.”
When Empyrean Proudcloud heard this, he could not help smiling coldly as he said, “Truly arrogant to the extreme! He still dares to be so careless when facing off against Brother Chaoyuan!”
Empyrean Wenlan gave a cold snort and said, “Ignorant! Does he really think that he’s invincible under the heavens by entering grand completion Dao Realm? Facing Brother Chaoyuan’s strength, even holy land masters are somewhat wary, but you’re looking down on him here!”
These few people were all defeated at Ye Yuan’s hands and were very reluctant to give in in their hearts.
Now that they nabbed the chance, there naturally could not be dispensed with a bout of ridiculing.
Ye Yuan just smiled coldly when he heard that and said, “What do you know? This isn’t looking down on my opponent, but respecting my opponent. Dealing with you guys, this Ye couldn’t be bothered to use my full strength at all!”
The few people’s expressions changed, and they said in fury, “You! Unbridled! Wildly arrogant! When you lose to Brother Cloudpill Summit and leave the Cloudpill Summit dusty and dirty in appearance, I’ll see what you have to be arrogant!”
But Ye Yuan said coolly, “It’s hard to come across a worthy opponent in life. Brother Chaoyuan is an opponent that this Ye respects! Toward opponents that I respect, this Ye will definitely go all out. So what even if I lose?”
These words were said valiantly, making the blood of the junior disciples in the plaza boil with excitement.
They saw through that Ye Yuan did not care about this grandmaster token at all.
Ye Yuan was enjoying the joy of battling in alchemy. This was seeking the apex of Alchemy Dao.
As for the grandmaster token, it was merely a worldly possession!
Cultivators of our generation should be like so!
For a moment, countless worshiping gazes were cast towards Ye Yuan.
“Hahaha! What a fine hard to come across a worthy opponent in life! Good, then this old man will go all out in this battle! Ye Yuan, regardless of whether victory or defeat, this old man will become friends with you, my friend across generations!” Empyrean Chaoyuan said with a big laugh.
With a thud, the Daytime Cauldron smashed onto the ring, giving off a series of horrifying undulations.
This Daytime Cauldron’s power was clearly several grades higher than even Empyrean Proudcloud’s Illusory Truth Cauldron.
“This old man was already at the grand completion Dao Realm 30 thousand years ago. I’ve gradually progressed in this realm for a long time. Coupled with the Daytime Cauldron, this peak empyrean spirit treasure, you have to be careful!” Empyrean Chaoyuan said with a laugh.
But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said calmly, “Please!”
Empyrean Chaoyuan nodded slightly. Seals formed in his hands and he said in a solemn voice, “Grand Luotian Thousand Illusory Dreamcloud True Art, release!”
The moment Empyrean Chaoyuan made his move, everyone’s expressions changed.
Chapter 2039. Half-Step Ancestor Realm! |
On the stage, fog curled upwards. An even and calm aura gradually released.
Although it was not outrageous like those Empyreans before, this aura made everyone’s faces change.
Strong!
Unexpectedly strong!
Empyrean Chaoyuan’s Alchemy Dao aura was like a towering mountain, standing steadfast.
Even if Ye Yuan crushed Empyrean Proudcloud’s imposing momentum, it also could not match up to the current Empyrean Chaoyuan.
“Huhu, Brother Chaoyuan’s Alchemy Dao realm seems to have improved significantly again! Looks like he’s the most promising alchemist of our Southern Border to step into Ancestor Realm after me! Although Ye Yuan is impressive, it’s likely very hard for him to want to pass his hurdle!”
When Empyrean Pilljade saw this scene, his face revealed a slight smile, showing a face full of approval.
Clearly, he was long confident about Empyrean Chaoyuan’s strength.
There was a series of exclamations in the plaza. Clearly, everyone did not expect that Empyrean Chaoyuan’s alchemy strength was actually so powerful.
“With this, Grandmaster Ye is in trouble! This opponent is too strong!”
“I really didn’t expect that turns out Empyrean Chaoyuan’s alchemy strength is actually even stronger than grandmasters.”
“It’s over, it’s over! Grandmaster Ye finally managed to prove his strength, but he is going to be kicked out of the Cloudpill Summit!”
…
If Empyrean Chaoyuan did not use the Daytime Cauldron, maybe Ye Yuan still had the strength to contend. But Ye Yuan let him use the Daytime Cauldron.
With the augmentation of an empyrean spirit treasure, Empyrean Chaoyuan’s strength was at least 20%-30% stronger.
This was practically fatal in the showdown between experts.
Even Ye Yuan himself was also slightly surprised in his heart. He also did not think that Empyrean Chaoyuan’s strength was actually so strong.
Looking at the strength that Empyrean Chaoyuan displayed, it could virtually rival Empyrean Flutterfeather’s back then.
However, Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit worried and brimmed with fighting intent instead.
Only by encountering such an opponent would this trip not have been in vain!
“Haha, bring it!”
Ye Yuan laughed loudly, the Chaos Heavenly Star Art suddenly erupted. An aura that was not weaker than Empyrean Chaoyuan instantly erupted.
Bang!
The collision of two mighty auras was akin to two massive mountains colliding together, sweeping up an energy storm frenziedly.
This spectacle was not the slightest bit inferior to the imposing momentum Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather’s alchemy battle back then!
Empyrean Pilljade’s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, “Evenly-matched! This … how is this possible?”
One had to know, not only did Empyrean Chaoyuan occupy the absolute advantage in divine soul, divine essence, and various aspects, he even had the augmentation of an empyrean spirit treasure.
But even so, he only fought until he was roughly on par with Ye Yuan.
This was also to say that if it was under the same rank, Empyrean Chaoyuan was not Ye Yuan’s match at all!
Empyrean Flutterfeather’s eyes also emitted a rare glimmer.
Of those present, only he knew that Ye Yuan’s strength became much stronger compared to their alchemy battle before.
If the current Ye Yuan carried out an alchemy battle again with him back then, it would not be known who would emerge victoriously!
“Huhu, is it just evenly-matched?” Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a smile that was not a smile.
Hearing this, everyone was startled inwardly.
Focusing their eyes and looking, sure enough, they saw Ye Yuan’s aura becoming stronger and stronger, and actually faintly showed signs of overpowering Empyrean Chaoyuan.
However, this kind of advantage was not obvious, Empyrean Chaoyuan was after all not the likes of Empyrean Proudcloud.
At this moment, Empyrean Chaoyuan had a somber look. He never dreamed that he would actually feel such tremendous pressure from a Six-star Alchemy God.
Empyrean Chaoyuan was an itinerant cultivator. He had once obtained an Eight-star Alchemy God’s inheritance by chance.
This Grand Luotian Thousand Illusory Dreamcloud True Art, even when facing-off against any holy land’s master, he did not fear in the slightest too.
Who could have thought that he would actually be suppressed in front of Ye Yuan?
Two massive mountain-like auras added radiance and beauty to each other, soaring straight to the sky. This scene was rather similar to Ye Yuan’s battle with Empyrean Flutterfeather back then.
But sadly, Empyrean Chaoyuan’s was ultimately a notch weaker and was unable to produce a resonance with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan released his aura fully, gradually shattering the scene of being evenly-matched in strength, and actually suppressed Empyrean Chaoyuan.
However, Empyrean Chaoyuan did not show weakness in the slightest too, standing up to Ye Yuan’s aura firmly.
Empyrean Pilljade’s expression became more and more solemn, narrowing his eyes as he said, “Could it be that … he already touched the threshold of Ancestor Realm, and stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm?”
Empyrean Flutterfeather had a smile in his gaze, secretly thinking to himself that this guy finally became aware of it!
The moment Ye Yuan made his move, Empyrean Flutterfeather discovered that Ye Yuan’s present realm was already similar to his back then!
This was also to say that Ye Yuan already glimpsed the door of Ancestor Realm. As long as there was an opportunity, he would be able to step into Ancestor Realm.
Dao Realm to Ancestor Realm, the most difficult was this step.
Ancestor Realm was too fleeting and ephemeral. Even for grand completion Dao Realm to want to touch this boundary, it required an immense comprehension ability and a lucky chance too.
Even Empyrean Flutterfeather also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually found this path so quickly.
Just how much time had passed from the last Alchemy Celestial Pavilion alchemy battle until now?
This kid’s comprehension ability simply startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep.
Empyrean Pilljade’s words were like casting a rock into a pool of still water, immediately a series of great waves.
“What? Half-step Ancestor Realm! Doesn’t that mean that he has a possibility of stepping into Ancestor Realm at any time?”
“Too crazy! Really too crazy! Could it be that this kid is the reincarnation of the Medicine Ancestor?”
“He’s just in the True God Realm! Once he reaches the Empyrean Realm or the Heavenly Emperor Realm, how terrifying would he be?”
…
The group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods immediately burst into an uproar!
Ancestor Realm, that was all of their lifelong pursuits. But this step was far too difficult.
Forget about Empyrean Proudcloud, this kind of late-stage Dao Realm, even the seven great peak holy land’s masters were also stuck firmly in front of this step, unable to break through for hundreds of thousands of years.
But how old was Ye Yuan?
Such a monstrous existence simply made them jealous until they wanted to kill people.
All the way until this moment, they finally understood why Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the grandmaster token to Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan already surpassed 95% of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods here, reaching a realm that they looked up to.
Even for the seven great peak holy land’s masters, apart from Empyrean Pilljade, there was only an Empyrean Flutterfeather who touched the threshold of Ancestor Realm and stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm.
The others were all lingering around grand completion Dao Realm. Regarding Ancestor Realm, they were unable to find the correct approach from start to end.
Ye Yuan was an existence on the same level as Flutterfeather!
If even he did not have the qualifications to hold this grandmaster token, who else had the qualifications?
“Condense!”
“Condense!”
Virtually crying out in chorus, Ye Yuan and Empyrean Chaoyuan shouted out.
Empyrean Chaoyuan looked toward Ye Yuan, his gaze still carried shock.
If talking about who had the strongest feelings with regards to Ye Yuan’s strength, it was none other than him.
“This battle indeed didn’t let this old man down! I didn’t expect that Grandmaster Ye stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm at a young age, truly envying this old man to death!” Empyrean Chaoyuan lamented.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Brother Chaoyuan doesn’t need to be envious. With your strength, you’ll eventually step into Ancestor Realm in the future!”
Empyrean Chaoyuan suddenly laughed out loud, saying, “Hahaha … this old man has never doubted this! This battle, this old man has reaped great benefits. This trip wasn’t in vain. The rest no longer have any meaning. Brother Pilljade, Brother Flutterfeather, this old man will be going back to enter closed-seclusion and will bid farewell here!”
Done talking, he did not wait for everyone to say anything, directly stepping into the void.
Chapter 2040. Structure Changes |
The furnace had yet to be opened, but everyone already had an idea about the results in their hearts.
Before this, no one would feel that Ye Yuan could really defeat all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods and sit on the seat of grandmaster.
But now, Ye Yuan used his fearsome strength to refresh everyone’s understanding.
“He … He really did it! Truly inconceivable! A Six-star Alchemy God actually swept across all the Seven-star Alchemy Gods!”
“If Empyrean Pilljade doesn’t make a move, there’s likely no one who can do anything to him in this land of Southern Border, right?”
“Truly terrifying talent! Could it be that this Heavenspan World is really going to produce a second Medicine Ancestor?”
…
Recalling the scenes of Ye Yuan battling in alchemy, everyone still felt like they were dreaming.
That was not some new rising Alchemy Dao star, he was already standing at the summit of the Southern Border’s alchemy world!
Surpassing Empyrean Pilljade was likely just a matter of a twinkling of an eye.
No one doubted that Ye Yuan would step into Ancestor Realm!
Ancestor Realm required countless years of accumulation to others. But to Ye Yuan, it did not seem distant.
Didn’t he also just spend more than a short thousand years’ time to reach this step today?
In the crowd, Yun Yi’s face was full of a bitter smile.
When he heard that Ye Yuan was this season’s Cloudpill Summit’s grandmaster, his first reaction was refusing to accept it.
