Unrivaled Medicine God, page 1040
Ye Yuan being able to rise up heaven-defyingly had an inextricable relationship with these two treasures.
Such a treasure, even when placed in the Qilin Clan, it was absolutely not a dispensable existence too.
If not for the Qilin emperor bone being too tempting and too extraordinary, it would be absolutely impossible for Qi Chen to suggest this kind of alchemy battle.
But now, they discovered that there was no hope of winning at all, and they could only choose this kind of shameless method to end this bet.
Qi Zhen really did not take Ye Yuan seriously. Even if he was Second Sage, he also could not posture on top of the Qilin Clan’s head.
“Is that so? I can’t keep you here, but what about it?”
Ye Yuan’s gaze had a cold look as he slowly took out the emperor bone.
The moment the emperor bone emerged, a power that seemingly came from great antiquity suddenly descended. All of the powerhouses in the hall felt their shoulders sink, a tremendous pressure descending from the sky.
Everyone’s faces changed colors!
On that day, when Ye Yuan took out the emperor bone, he did not trigger the power inside the emperor bone.
The aura that they felt flowed out of the emperor bone naturally.
But today, the pressure in the emperor bone was in full bloom. Even these Empyreans felt enormous pressure.
Of course, it was merely just pressure, it did not give Ye Yuan the power to contend with Empyreans.
But one person was different!
That person was Qi Zhen.
This was an emperor bone from the ancient era, the ancestor of the present Qilin Clan’s ancestor. How noble was the bloodline and how strong was the pressure?
This kind of pressure originated from the depths of the bloodline and originated from the depths of the soul.
“Kneel down for me!”
Ye Yuan’s cry was akin to the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery. Borrowing the might of the emperor bone, it shook until the great hall quaked incessantly.
Qi Zhen’s mind told him that he should not kneel.
However, his body and soul seemed to not heed his orders.
It was as if there was a demon in his heart, telling him to kneel down, to kneel down …
In the midst of Qi Zhen’s trembling, he slowly knelt down.
One could tell from his body that his entire person was undergoing intense struggle.
However, it was to no avail!
Under such a powerful bloodline pressure, his body actually did not listen to orders anymore!
That instant when Qi Zhen’s knees came into contact with the ground, endless humiliation welled up in his heart.
He looked at Ye Yuan coldly, eyes bloodshot with rage as he roared, “Ye Yuan, you dare to humiliate me? Humiliating my Qilin Clan, you’ll die without a burial ground!”
Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene dumbfounded with gaping mouths.
Even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like Gongyang Lie was also staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied at this time.
A primal variant species like the Qilin Clan, not only were they powerful themselves, the strength of their race was also powerful to the extreme.
Although he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, when he saw a Qilin Clan’s distinguished talent like Qi Zhen, he also had to give in a little.
But Ye Yuan actually used this kind of radical method to make him kneel?
“Lord Second Sage, this … is probably not appropriate, right?” Gongyang Lie said cautiously.
Ye Yuan ignored him, but his gaze looked at Qi Zhen calmly as he said with a cold sneer, “Isn’t your bloodline noble? Aren’t you incomparably proud? Aren’t you taking advantage of your power to bully people? Aren’t you being shameless? Then let me tell you today, your pride is utterly worthless in front of me!”
“I don’t need the Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle. The wager can also be written off. I, Ye Yuan, am not an unreasonable person! But your Qilin Clan is self-assured that your bloodline is noble and looks down on everyone under the heavens, calling off the bet with this kind of shameless method. Turns out that the words of an Empyrean powerhouse are like letting out a fart!”
“If it’s like this, forget it too. But you even ran in front of me to swagger and make a show of force, wanting me to hand the emperor bone over with both hands! If it’s once or twice, forget it, but you all really take me, Ye Yuan, to be a soft persimmon, and can be threatened by any random Tom, Dick, or Harry? Mn?”
Ye Yuan glared fiercely, akin to a celestial deity that descended, giving people a feeling like he was a god.
When the surrounding Empyrean powerhouses heard Ye Yuan’s denouncing, each and every one of them secretly sighed in their hearts too.
Indeed, even though Ye Yuan was a young genius comparable to Sacred Ancestor High Priest, he did not have the arrogance that a youth would normally have.
Even when Crimsonsky was being arrogant in front of him, Ye Yuan also just brushed it off with a smile in the end.
But this Qilin Clan went too far.
That matter on that day, everyone present knew.
When Qi Yun saw Ye Yuan, he said that the emperor bone was the Qilin Clan’s and was extremely overbearing.
Later, Qi You jumped out and was also like that.
Then later, Qi Chen, this late-stage Empyrean mighty expert came out and was the same too.
Discovering Ye Yuan’s identity in the end and knowing that the matter could not be done, he used a wager to seize it by force and trickery.
However, after witnessing Ye Yuan’s strength, the Qilin Clan went back on their word again!
If they reneged on their word, forget it, you come and say it nicely.
Lower your head and admit your fault, perhaps Ye Yuan would not haggle over it anymore.
Yet, this Qi Zhen made it seem that he was number one under the heavens and ran in front of Ye Yuan to posture. Disregarding canceling the bet with this kind of shameless reason, he even wanted Ye Yuan to hand over the emperor bone with both hands.
Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger, let alone Ye Yuan, this genius who enjoyed success at a young age and had a status comparable to Sacred Ancestor High Priest.
No matter how easy-going one was, they also had a limit, no?
It was just that they did not expect that Ye Yuan’s emperor bone actually had such terrifying power, to actually be able to pressure the Empyrean Realm Qi Zhen to directly kneel down.
“Aren’t you proud? Isn’t your bloodline noble? Then I’ll trample all of your pride underfoot!”
Done talking, Ye Yuan stomped down, directly stepping on Qi Zhen’s face and stepping onto the floor.
The enormous force directly stomped until the ground fissured apart.
Ye Yuan’s strength was not worth mentioning to Qi Zhen. It was just that his face hurt a little.
But the humiliation in his heart reached the peak at this moment.
He gritted his teeth and said viciously, “Ye Yuan, if you have the guts, kill me! As long as you don’t kill me today, I’ll grind your bones to dust and let you know what’s called true remorse!”
How proud was the Qilin Clan? Today’s incident would become his lifelong smirch. How could he not be enraged?
But threatening Ye Yuan, he was not worried that Ye Yuan would really do anything to him.
Humiliating him like this was already the limit that he could do.
Did he really dare to kill Qi Zhen?
The consequences of killing him were not what Ye Yuan could bear!
Except, he underestimated Ye Yuan’s resolve.
He had always yielded to soft tactics and did not bow to force. Even if a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor came over, he could forget about making Ye Yuan lower his head too, let alone a mere Qi Zhen?
It was only to see killing intent appear in Ye Yuan’s eyes. The bone sword was already gripped in his hand.
“Huhu, you think that with you having the Qilin Clan a backer, I won’t dare to do anything to you? Since that’s the case, then I’ll send you off! I want to see what the Qilin Clan can do to me!”
Chapter 2113. Even if You're a Heavenly Emperor, It Won't Do Either! |
A hint of disdain flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth, the bone sword directly thrusting out.
A threat of death pounced from head-on.
Qi Zhen’s expression changed drastically. He did not think that Ye Yuan really dared to kill him.
Could it be that this guy did not care about the consequences?
Just as he thought that he was dead for sure, one fine blue thread after another blocked in front of Qi Zhen. Ye Yuan’s bone sword was actually unable to move an inch further.
The pupils of all the Empyreans present shrunk. That was the Dao mark, the hallmark of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!
This kind of power was the might of heaven and earth, mortals were not able to resist it at all.
When Qi Zhen saw the Dao mark appear, he knew that Gongyang Lie would not passively watch him be killed, and he could not help being overjoyed.
With a Heavenly Emperor taking action, who else could kill him here?
Ye Yuan’s expression turned cold and he looked at Gongyang Lie and said in a solemn voice, “You want to stop me?”
Gongyang Lie bowed and said, “Lord Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Qi Zhen’s status in the Qilin Clan is extremely high. He can’t be killed! Once killed, it will surely attract the fierce retaliation of the Qilin Clan. At that time, even Sacred Ancestor High Priest might not be able to protect you too!”
When Qi Zhen heard that, he seemed to have grasped the final life-saving straw, roaring wildly: “Ye Yuan, I’m the Qilin Clan’s Alchemy Dao future, Ancestor Si Chen’s successor! If you dare to kill me, you’ll definitely regret it!”
Ye Yuan laughed coldly and said, “Really cannot change your nature! At this point, you still dare to threaten me?”
His gaze became cold, and he turned to Gongyang Lie and said icily, “When this sage is doing things, it’s not your turn to come and butt in! Do you really want to stop me?”
Gongyang Lie mused for a moment and finally sighed and said, “Lord Second Sage, I’m doing it for your own good. I also don’t wish for the demon race to fall into internal strife. Let Young Master Qi Zhen leave; this emperor will make my apologies to Lord Second Sage later.”
In Gongyang Lie’s view, killing Qi Zhen was a huge matter.
Once they provoked the Qilin Clan, they might come roaring into existence and make the entire Demon Divine Region fall into chaotic times.
Although Ye Yuan’s title of Second Sage was big, he was merely a True God Realm in the end.
Gongyang Lie’s respect was completely toward Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and it was not toward Ye Yuan.
Toward Ye Yuan himself, Gongyang Lie did not have too much awe and fear.
No matter how breathtaking Ye Yuan’s performance was, that was also just a genius that had yet to grow up.
He was on a different level from a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like him in the end.
Ye Yuan laughed loudly. The aura on his body was surging to the sky.
However, in front of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse’s strength, Ye Yuan appeared so insignificant.
His bone sword was still unable to advance the slightest bit.
Gongyang Lie shook his head and said with a sigh, “Lord Second Sage, give up. The strength of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, you’re unable to imagine it! This emperor can’t watch you do the wrong thing and go beyond redemption.”
But right at this time, one fine blue thread after another crept out from Ye Yuan’s body.
Ye Yuan’s eyes also gradually became icy-cold.
Under the blue fine threads, Gongyang Lie’s power suddenly collapsed with a loud bang!
Gongyang Lie’s pupils constricted, wanting to make a move again, but it was already too late.
Puchi!
The bone sword directly pierced through Qi Zhen’s chest. Violent Sword Dao law destroyed Qi Zhen’s innards wantonly.
How powerful was Empyrean Realm? But in front of Dao marks, what did it count for?
Until death, Qi Zhen’s eyes opened wide, clearly not daring to believe everything happening before his eyes.
How could a True God Realm break through the Dao marks laid down by a Heavenly Emperor?
At this time, a trace of regret actually arose in his heart.
If he yielded to Ye Yuan, perhaps it would be a different outcome, right?
Pride, this thing, would really cause people’s death sometimes.
“This … How is this possible? Lord Second Sage he … actually broke through Lord Gongyang’s Dao marks!”
“What’s that on Lord Second Sage’s body? Could it be … Dao marks too?”
“How can a True God Realm … possibly use Dao marks? Could it be that my eyesight is failing?”
… …
Inside the great hall, shocked voices linked up together.
The shock that the scene which happened just now brought to them was seriously too intense.
What crept out from Ye Yuan’s body were clearly Dao marks!
But why would Dao marks that even a half-step Heavenly Emperor powerhouse could not utilize appear on a True God Realm powerhouse?
But the one who was more shocked was Gongyang Lie.
He, as a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, naturally understood what Dao marks signified.
That was truly a power that belonged to Heavenly Dao!
Only by reaching the realm of Heavenly Emperor could one enter the Dao with their bodies and mobilize the might of heaven and earth to carry out attacks.
But, Ye Yuan, a mere True God Realm powerhouse actually grasped Dao marks?
This kind of thing was simply too outrageous to hear.
At this time, Ye Yuan took back the bone sword and slowly got up. The Dao marks on his body faded away like the tide.
His gaze was icy-cold. Gongyang Lie meeting eyes with him actually involuntarily shuddered.
What kind of look was this!
“You … You actually grasped Dao marks! How is this possible?” Gongyang Lie looked at Ye Yuan and involuntarily asked.
His heart was completely being filled with questions at this time.
“If I, Ye Yuan, wants to kill people, no one can stop it! Even if you’re a heavenly emperor, it won’t do either!” Ye Yuan’s words seemed to freeze space.
The current Ye Yuan seemed to have become a different person.
The composure on his face had long already disappeared. What replaced it was iciness.
But different from the last time in the Ancient God Battlefield, the current Ye Yuan seemed to still have a trace of reason remaining.
With the lesson learned last time, Ye Yuan already did not dare to employ the power of Dao marks too much.
If not for Gongyang Lie taking action, he would not have utilized it either.
Gongyang Lie’s face changed, only then, waking up to reality.
A major issue happened!
“Ye Yuan!”
Gongyang Lie shouted coldly and said furiously, “You think that by calling you Second Sage, you can be lawless and unbridled? Do you know that you’ve caused huge trouble!”
Ye Yuan looked at Gongyang Lie coldly and said, “You think that I, Ye Yuan, can stand here and make you call me Second Sage, what I’m relying on is Sacred Ancestor High Priest? You’re wrong! It’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest who needs me, and it’s not me who needs Sacred Ancestor High Priest!”
“Arrogances! Truly wild arrogance! Even if you’re Second Sage, you also can’t compare to Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Furthermore, your action right now dragged the entire demon race into the water!” Gongyang Lie said in a great rage.
Ye Yuan continued icily, saying, “If the Qilin Clan comes, I’ll shoulder it alone! You don’t need to worry!”
Done talking, Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.
No one thought that things would actually develop to such an extent.
The situation presently already reached the degree where it could not be salvaged.
Looking at Ye Yuan’s distant back view, Gongyang Lie could not help but smile bitterly.
He also did not expect that he personally took action and actually failed to stop Ye Yuan.
The Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred was indeed extraordinary!
… …
Very soon, Qi Chen and the rest were informed of the news that Qi Zhen was killed, and they were naturally extremely alarmed and enraged.
“Xin Luo, this Empyrean is going to kill Ye Yuan right now. Don’t you stop me! Even if he’s the Second Sage, killing my Qilin Clan’s alchemy genius, he’ll also have to make amendments with death!” Facing Xin Luo, Qi Chen was in a towering rage.
Who knew that Xin Luo just shook his head and smiled bitterly as he said, “I won’t stop you. It’s just that, I’m afraid that even if you go, you can’t kill Lord Second Sage either!”
Chapter 2114. Long Xiaochun |
Hearing Xin Luo’s explanation, Qi Chen was taken aback with shock.
Indeed, that emperor bone was extraordinary!
With Qi Chen’s status, he had naturally seen before emperor bones handed down from ancestors.
But he had never heard of that an emperor bone could suppress bloodline and make the Qilin Clan not have the slightest strength to retaliate.
Let alone that Qi Zhen was even an Empyrean powerhouse.
Wouldn’t that mean that as long as Ye Yuan grasped the emperor bone in his hand, he would be in an undefeatable position when facing the Qilin Clan’s Empyreans?
No way, this emperor bone must be brought back to the clan!
“Very soon, Xin Luo, this matter, my Qilin Clan has remembered it. Your Westspirit Region just wait for my Qilin Clan’s wrath! Qi Yun, let’s go!”
Done talking, Qi Chen brought Qi Yun and the rest along, and then they left in a huff.
Xin Luo had long somewhat expected this scene. Seeing the situation, he could not help smiling bitterly.
