Unrivaled Medicine God, page 271
They could not be blamed for this either. After all, there had never been anybody who would do this sort of foolish thing, killing off all the demonic beasts at each level.
Even now, nobody thought that Ye Yuan was actually doing such a thing as well.
They felt that Ye Yuan definitely found a place to hide and made use of the eleventh hour to spurt towards the next level.
“Huhu, City Lord Ren, calm down. Ye Yuan isn’t a frivolous person. Him doing this surely has his reasons. In this Vast Heaven Pagoda, it’s also not whoever clears the round fastest can walk to the end,” Qi Hai reminded Ren Xingchun, suddenly appearing beside him.
Chapter 557. He's Different from You Guys |
“Oh? Old Hai, is it possible that you know what Ye Yuan is doing inside?” Seeing Qi Hai’s attitude, Ren Xingchun was slightly surprised.
Qi Hai smiled slightly and said, “Ye Yuan’s level is different from the others. The things that he sees are naturally different too. There are countless demonic beasts in the first level and second level. Furthermore, these demonic beasts are not corporeal bodies, an excellent venue for training and tempering. If my conjectures are correct, he should be borrowing these demonic beasts to temper himself. That’s why he would hang on to enter the next level each time.”
Ren Xingchun’s eyes went wide. Even though he was very confident in Ye Yuan, wasn’t this too exaggerated?
Even Soul Sea Realm martial artists did not dare to stay in a level for too long. Ye Yuan dared to stay alone until the time was almost up?
Furthermore, without other people pinning them down, how did he charge past alone?
“Old Hai, even though Ye Yuan’s strength is pretty good, he’s at the Sea Transformation Realm after all. Training inside like this, I’m afraid that his essence energy can’t sustain!” Ren Xingchun said tactfully.
These words sounded like concern on the surface, but actually, it was reproaching that Ye Yuan was messing around too much.
So many demonic beasts inside, if his essence energy were exhausted and he got eliminated, just how unjust of a matter would that have to be!
If he was really eliminated, forget about him, this City Lord; even Ye Yuan himself would not be able to preserve his face either!
“Huhu, you this old man are losing yourself in concern. Furthermore, this grandson of yours, you yourself probably still don’t have much understanding. Ye Yuan appears very impetuous when doing this, even somewhat disregarding consequence. But after the matter, you’ll discover that he already calculated every single thing. Him stopping the Purple Mansion Sect, detaining Qin Hongtao’s grandson, eradicating the Heavenly Evil Sect, which incident wasn’t carried out after scheming? Relax, this boy will be fine!” Qin Hongtao said very affirmatively.
Ren Xingchun thought about it. It seemed to be truly as Qi Hai said.
His understanding of this grandson of his was really pitiably little. Of course, this was also related to Ye Yuan deliberately keeping him at a distance.
This boy’s temper was even worse than his. The two people frequently could not even see eye to eye. If he did not yield in the end, this boy could even poke a hole in the sky!
Qi Hai was very confident in his judgment. But he could not dare dream that Ye Yuan’s final goal was actually to kill off all the demonic beasts in a level either!
If he knew what Ye Yuan was doing inside, it was uncertain if he could still be so composed.
. . . . . .
After entering the third level, Ye Yuan suddenly noticed that it was much more spacious.
Within the first level and the second level, it was densely populated with demonic beasts. Especially the first level, that sort of density simply gave people a feeling of their scalp tingling. Just those numbers made people feel despair.
But after Ye Yuan entered the third level, he suddenly discovered that the demonic beasts did not seem to be as many as before.
He had already entered this level for some time and actually did not even see a single demonic beast!
It could not be to the extent where these demonic beasts were all killed by other people, right?
Ye Yuan was three days behind the rest. So, at this time, the third level should have already been void of other people long ago.
The other martial artists should have already cleared the third round or were already kicked out.
Which was also to say that currently in the third level, there was only Ye Yuan alone!
The one and only person!
“Strange. Even if this third level’s demonic beasts would have some reduction, it can’t be diminished to such an extent either, right? Just what on earth happened?” Ye Yuan said depressedly.
Since he could not meet demonic beasts, Ye Yuan simply just flew towards the entrance to the fourth level.
Ye Yuan was also rather looking forward to it now. Because after clearing the third level, there would be an interim reward.
If it was before coming in, Ye Yuan absolutely would not be looking forward to it like so. Because cultivation methods and martial techniques and whatnot, he really was not lacking any of them.
Just the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was enough for him to cultivate to the Divine King Realm. Why would there be a need to take such a superfluous action to learn other cultivation methods?
Even if he knew that Lu Linfeng soared from here, Lu Linfeng’s level was merely just slightly stronger than him.
To really talk about interest, Ye Yuan was just interested in the things after the sixth level.
But now, Ye Yuan’s thinking completely changed.
This Vast Heaven Pagoda was too mystical, to actually have this sort of thing like the nameless energy. Then what would the rewards for the first three levels be?
Because the path was free and unobstructed, Ye Yuan’s speed was exceptionally fast. He only used two hour’s time and was about to reach the fourth level’s entrance already.
However, everything before his eyes left Ye Yuan staring wide-eyed and his mouth agape.
“F*ck me. Are you shitting me?” Ye Yuan looked at the scene before his eyes and could not help rolling his eyes.
. . . . . .
At the same time, in a nameless space, a group of martial artists was currently discussing fervently.
“Finally passed the third level and can obtain the first stage’s reward!”
“Yeah. Although the demonic beasts’ rank only increased a small boundary with each round cleared, it feels more than several times more powerful! This fourth level, I can’t clear it no matter what!”
“Those Blue Sand Beasts were really hard to tangle with! I almost succumbed in the third level! If I couldn’t even pass the third level, this trip would be considered wasted.”
“Yeah. The Blue Sand Beasts are extremely formidable existences among Tier 3 demonic beasts too. Although the few of us are Soul Sea Realms, being surrounded by so many Blue Sand Beasts was really enough for us to die.”
Very clearly, the third level gave considerable pressure to these Soul Sea Realms.
One should not look at how each level’s demonic beasts only raised by a small boundary. The increase in the degree of difficulty was not simple.
Facing never-ending attacks, no matter how powerful the martial artist, they would be exhausted to death too.
Ye Yuan’s control over essence energy was so subtle and he nearly screwed himself to death, let alone other people.
Furthermore, these demonic beasts were not ordinary demonic beasts. Their strength in the same rank was very formidable too. If one did not have the corresponding strength, they would simply be unable to breach through the encirclement.
Entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, a total of 300 people entered. Yet, only less than 20 people were still inside this nameless space right now.
These people were all the same; they were all all Soul Sea Realm experts. Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were already wrecked by those demonic beasts until not even dregs were left.
The only Sea Transformation Realm martial artist surviving was just Ye Yuan alone.
Right at this time, an archaic voice suddenly sounded out, “Welcome to the inheritance space. Congratulations to everyone for successfully clearing the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s first three levels. I’ll give you each your corresponding rewards according to your performances in the first three levels.”
Guo Taoqun was the second to enter the nameless space. After entering the nameless space, he had been staring at the entrance all this while, wanting to see Ye Yuan’s silhouette.
But sadly, he did not even see a freaking shadow all the way until this voice sounded out!
Could it be that Ye Yuan really failed?
But how was this possible?
Guo Taoqun and Qin Yan exchanged glances, both looking absent-minded.
Just what in the world happened to Ye Yuan, to actually fail?
“May we ask Senior, there should still be one of us who hasn’t arrived yet, right?” at this time, Yin Yanhua suddenly spoke.
Everybody fell silent. They all knew who Yin Yanhua was talking about.
“He’s different from you guys,” said the voice, after musing for a moment.
Chapter 558. Different in What Way |
“Damn. Is this to let I, Little Lord, to review the troops? So many Armored Diamond Bulls are here just to wait for me?”
Only seeing the scene before his eyes did Ye Yuan finally know why he did not run into demonic beasts along the way.
All the demonic beasts were already gathered here, waiting in battle formation!
In front of Ye Yuan, it was all herds of large black bulls as far as the eyes could see, stretching to infinity.
These big black bulls were blazing with anger and seething with killing intent as if they had long been awaiting him.
Of course, Ye Yuan was still currently unaware that what those people previously encountered were all Blue Sand Beasts and not the Armored Diamond Bulls!
This Armored Diamond Bulls belonged to the category of extremely formidable existences among Tier 3 demonic beasts.
The skins of these large black bulls were coarse. They had thick flesh. Ordinary attacks simply had no way of penetrating their defense!
Under normal circumstances, even peak Crystal Formation Realm human martial artists had no way of breaching middle-stage Tier 3 Armored Diamond Bulls’ defense too!
One could imagine just how freakish this demonic beast was.
More importantly, this type of demonic beasts even had the bull-species’ savageness. Its offensive power was extremely formidable.
Ordinary martial artists, even if they got grazed, the outcome would be exceedingly wretched too.
Of course, no matter how powerful the Armored Diamond Bull was, it was merely just a Tier 3 demonic beast. To those at the Sea Transformation Realms and Soul Sea Realms, they were not worth mentioning at all.
Yet, Armored Diamond Bulls which blotted out the skies and covered the earth was an entirely different matter!
If what those people previously encountered were Armored Diamond Bulls, it would be pretty good to have five people managing to get past it.
It was precisely because he knew these Armored Diamond Bulls’ prowess that Ye Yuan could not resist swearing and have a myriad of profanities running through his head.
If he could use medicinal pills, Ye Yuan would not fear these savage bulls at all. But without the support of medicinal pills, the result was hard to say.
This was a very spectacular image. On one side were massive black bull herds blotting out the skies and covering the earth. On the other was a frail youth.
The visual impact of this image was incredibly intense. The two sides formed a strong contrast!
Ye Yuan in front of this sea of Armored Diamond Bulls was a feeble existence like a small rowboat, possible to capsize at any moment.
“However . . . killing these large raging bulls should be able to obtain considerable nameless essence energy, right?”
As he said, Ye Yuan took out the Xuanying Sword and accumulated his power, waiting to make a move.
“Come on, large raging bulls!”
Ye Yuan gave a clear cry. A Half-Moon Slash cleaved out domineeringly!
“Roar!”
Roaring sounds that reverberated throughout the skies emitted from these bulls’ mouth, vibrating until Ye Yuan’s eardrums hurt.
At the same time Ye Yuan raised his sword, those Armored Diamond Bulls moved too!
They charged towards Ye Yuan without heed for anything. That imposing manner could really topple mountains and overturn the seas!
Rumble!
Half-Moon Slash stuck close to the ground and flew over towards the Armored Diamond Bulls, cleaving a large gouge in the ground!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The places where the Half-Moon Slash passed through, the Armored Diamond Bulls were completely decimated and wiped out.
Just one move and several hundred Armored Diamond Bulls were killed.
But sadly, several hundreds did not even count as a single hair from nine oxen to such a massive bull herd.
Ye Yuan was very unsatisfied at the effects of this attack. The defense of these large savage bulls was not ordinary at all. If they were to be other demonic beasts, this attack should be able to cut down up to a thousand.
If he attacked like this, his essence energy expenditure would be much fiercer!
Even though his present essence energy sea already expanded to a circumference of 150 feet, the strength of the demonic beasts rose by a lot too.
If he continued expending essence energy like this, he would not be able to take it either.
“Coarse skin and thick flesh. Indeed, not easy to deal with!” Ye Yuan sighed with a vicissitude of emotion.
The attacks of these large black bulls, Ye Yuan was not very concerned. He had comprehended the Concept of Wind Flow. Under such circumstances, it was even easier to avoid those large black bulls’ attacks. These large black bulls simply could not touch him.
The problem was how much consumption could his essence energy take?
Unless there were no other alternatives, Ye Yuan did not wish to employ the nameless essence energy. Expending the nameless essence energy in such a place was truly too regretful.
He was not worried about these large black bulls’ attacks now. But once his essence energy ran out, the attacks of these large black bulls would be terrifying.
Ye Yuan slaughtered the Armored Diamond Bulls non-stop while he was coming up with countermeasures.
. . . . . .
In the inheritance space, those martial artists had blank looks.
“Different from us? What does that mean?”
“Could it be that Ye Yuan still hasn’t been eliminated now, and he’s still in the midst of clearing the rounds?”
“No way, right? Already six, seven days have passed here. He should be in the third level right now. His clearing speed is so slow. He’s not even equal to us!”
Very clearly, these people all knew that the mysterious person and Yin Yanhua were talking about the same person; it was Ye Yuan.
However, the mysterious person’s appraisal made these people all very displeased.
If Ye Yuan entered ahead of them, then forget it. But it was very clear right now that Ye Yuan was inferior to them.
Even if he was not eliminated, what could such slow clearing speed explain?
In these people’s thinking derived from experience, it was still whoever entered the next level faster, the better. Nobody would be foolish enough to stay behind to kill off all the demonic beasts in a level.
Hearing the mysterious person’s appraisal, Liu Hong frowned slightly too.
Before coming to the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he already planned properly. This time, he must shock everyone in one move, and to overpower the Three Sects’ head disciples!
Now, he accomplished it!
Clearing the rounds twice consecutively, he was the first person to enter the next level!
And the competition at the back, he believed that he would not lose as well.
But now, what did this mean?
That punk called Ye Yuan was not here at all. Could it be that Ye Yuan was even more incredible than him?
Liu Hong was a shockingly talented itinerant cultivator. After his sect was destroyed, he obtained a peak Divine Traversing Realm expert’s inheritance by chance.
During the past years, he had been cultivating bitterly in closed-seclusion all along and finally acquired a certain level of achievement.
Coincidentally, the Three Sects opened up the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time. Liu Hong naturally had to come and give it a shot in order to advance further.
His horizons were exceedingly high now and were long already not that small sect’s disciple back then.
Liu Hong’s current goal was very clear. He wanted to ascend to the Divine Realm!
Right at this time, the Three Sects opened up the Vast Heaven Pagoda too. This was simply a god-sent opportunity!
“Even the heaven wants me, Liu Hong, to soar to the skies with one leap! What reason do I, Liu Hong, have to refuse?” This was Liu Hong’s first reaction after getting this news.
In Liu Hong’s view, this Vast Heaven Pagoda was specifically opened up for him.
Otherwise, why was it not opened up sooner or later, but it was opened to the public right at the critical juncture of him exiting seclusion?
Troubled times create heroes. He was surely the hero created by this era!
But what was the meaning of the words said by this mysterious person?
Could it be that this Ye Yuan was actually even more special than him?
Liu Hong had been in closed-seclusion all along. He was very uninformed about news and completely did not know just what kind of existence Ye Yuan was.
In his eyes, the Three Sects’ head disciples were the targets that he had to surpass.
“Senior, I wonder how is he different from us?”
Even since entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Liu Hong had been moving alone the entire time. But this time, he finally could not resist voicing out.
