Chapter 1245: The Might of a Divine Path Expert!

As soon as this old man appeared, Ye Yuan felt a dangerous aura rushing toward him.

That feeling was like facing Fang Tian.

The first impression this old man gave Ye Yuan was strength.

Extremely strong!

However, the closer he got to this cave entrance, the faster Ye Yuan's heart beat.

Now, Ye Yuan felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

This heartbeat sensation was definitely not caused by this old man.

Ye Yuan, do not be reckless!

Just then, Ao Li and the grand elders of the four clans also arrived.

Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention; all he wanted now was to enter that cave.

"Senior, Ye Yuan means no offense. I only wish to take a look inside this cave. May I?"

Ye Yuan forcibly calmed himself and spoke to the old man in a consultative tone.

"This is my secluded cultivation ground; there is nothing else here. Besides, don't you find such a request rather abrupt?" the old man said indifferently.

Ye Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Junior knows this is somewhat abrupt, but I have a reason I must enter! If I cause any disturbance, I am willing to make amends afterward."

In over five hundred years across two lifetimes, Ye Yuan had never felt such a strong urge to enter a place.

He was certain that this cave was absolutely connected to him in a significant way!

"What a joke! How dare you profane the ancestor's cultivation ground?" Ao Li said coldly.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said flatly, "This has nothing to do with you; you have no say here!"

"You!" Ao Li's face turned livid with rage.

The ancestor gestured for Ao Li to stop speaking, then looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, "Young friend, there are many secrets of the Four Symbols Clan in the cave. It's normal for you to resonate with it, given that you carry the Azure Dragon bloodline. If you were a dragon, I wouldn't mind letting you in. But you are merely a human!"

Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes. The ancestor's words seemed flawless, and the refusal had good reason.

But for some reason, Ye Yuan still wanted to go in.

That intense psychological urge shattered the ancestor's words completely.

Ye Yuan turned his palm over, and a fire poker appeared in his hand.

The powerful dragon might emanating from the fire poker made everyone's expression change.

At this moment, the ancestor, who had been calm all along, finally lost his composure!

"The... the Sacred Dragon Token! The former clan chief took it away and it never reappeared. How could it be in your hands?" the ancestor exclaimed in surprise.

"Never mind how it came into my hands. Since you say the cave holds the secrets of the Four Symbols Clan, I wonder if this Sacred Dragon Token qualifies me to enter and investigate?" Ye Yuan said calmly.

The ancestor's face flickered with uncertainty. He had never expected that Ye Yuan would possess such a sacred object.

Seeing the Sacred Dragon Token was like seeing the clan chief; even he could not defy the ancestral teachings!

As for the other Four Symbols Clan members, including Ao Li, they all looked bewildered.

They knew the Sacred Dragon Token was no ordinary item, but having grown up in the Divine Beast Domain, they did not understand its significance.

"Ancestor, what is this object?" Ao Li couldn't help asking.

Anything that could move the ancestor was certainly not ordinary.

"This is the Sacred Dragon Token, the supreme divine artifact of our dragon clan! According to dragon clan ancestral teachings, whoever holds this token is the master of the dragon clan!" the ancestor said solemnly.

The ancestor's words made everyone's expression change.

Ao Li was stunned and looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. "How can a human being the master of the dragon clan and command obedience?"

"Heh, a human, you say... My big brother's bloodline is purer than any of yours. Why can't he command obedience? In the Divine Domain, my big brother is already the master of the human race! You probably don't know that the Sacred Dragon Token doesn't choose its master randomly. Even if my big brother gave it to you, it would never accept you as its master!" Bai Guang said disdainfully.

Ao Li's expression changed, and he couldn't help looking at the ancestor for confirmation.

The old ancestor slowly nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement with Bai Guang's words.

Ao Li's face turned ashen; he simply could not accept this fact.

"Senior, do you have any doubts now?" Ye Yuan looked intently at the old ancestor.

The old ancestor pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Since you have been recognized by the Sacred Dragon Token, I naturally acknowledge you as my master! But this cave... you cannot enter!"

The old ancestor's words made Ye Yuan's expression change.

He had not expected that this old man would not even show respect to the Sacred Dragon Token.

But precisely because of this, Ye Yuan was even more certain that there must be some secret inside!

Ye Yuan put away the Sacred Dragon Token and said indifferently, "Very well, I understand. Since that's the case, I'll have to offend you!"

With that, Ye Yuan's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

The Great Teleportation Art!

But this time, someone was faster than him!

Almost at the same moment, the old ancestor's figure also disappeared from the spot.

Also the Great Teleportation Art!

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan and the old ancestor clashed fiercely in the void, but their figures were shaken out of the void, flying thousands of zhang before barely stabilizing.

This old ancestor's strength was indeed terrifyingly powerful!

However, the old ancestor could not stop Ye Yuan's determination to enter the cave. He raised his hand and unleashed the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm!

"Heh, at such a young age, you can comprehend a divine-level dragon wave—truly a genius! But using it against me is not enough."

The old ancestor smiled faintly and also struck out with the Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm!

With one palm strike, even Ye Yuan's expression changed!

"Boom!"

After a head-on clash, despite Ye Yuan's extremely strong defense, he was shaken by the opponent and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"So this is the strength of a Divine Path expert? Truly living up to its reputation! Unfortunately, there is no longer any Divine Path in this world."

Ye Yuan sneered coldly and decisively drew the Evil-Slaying Sword!

"Furious Sword Fire Lotus!"

Ye Yuan's sword intent had greatly advanced, and Xiao Huo's Pure Sandal Sacred Flame was also no longer what it used to be.

This move, Furious Sword Fire Lotus, was no longer as powerful as before.

Seeing this scene, Ao Li's face turned extremely ugly.

So Ye Yuan had not even used his full strength when dealing with him!

The evolved Furious Sword Fire Lotus was even a notch stronger than the divine-level Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm!

"Old ancestor, be careful!" Ao Li shouted loudly.

He knew the old ancestor was formidable, but faced with such a terrifying attack, he was uncertain whether the old ancestor could withstand it.

However, the old ancestor merely smiled faintly and once again pushed out a Coiling Dragon Heaven-Shattering Palm!

The power of this palm was even greater than the previous one!

"Boom!"

With one palm strike, Ye Yuan was sent flying again.

After two palms, Ye Yuan had already sustained considerable injuries.

"Senior seems to have mastered divine path laws! I suspect you are not far from the Heaven-Seeing Divine Realm, are you?" Ye Yuan said in a deep voice.

The old ancestor smiled faintly and said, "I had just broken through to the Divine Realm when the laws of heaven and earth became incomplete. Over the years, with nothing else to do, I have merely been comprehending some divine path laws. So, do you still want to enter?"

Ye Yuan took a deep breath and said, "One final move. If you can block it, I will retreat immediately!"

"Hehe, young one, you are very strong! But you are not yet my match. Retreat for now! Come find me when your strength is sufficient." The old ancestor shook his head with a smile, clearly not believing that Ye Yuan could defeat him.
