Chapter 1256: The Righteous Sword!

After the palm strike, the nine ghostly fiends surrounded Ye Yuan and cast spells, quickly removing his ghostly curse completely.

"Impossible! How... how could you have comprehended the second level of the Divine Path?"

"Kid, you will pay for your actions!"

Both Zhuge Qingxuan and Li Kui were now furious.

One had lost his proud number one in the Divine Domain, the other had his painstakingly crafted Ten Thousand Soul Banner refined into a magic treasure by someone else.

This feeling was maddening.

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You two are being so sarcastic, who am I supposed to answer?"

"Hey kid, you're no match for him. Let me handle it!" Li Kui screeched.

"Impossible! How could I, the Calming Heaven Divine King, not be his match?" Zhuge Qingxuan retorted defiantly.

He still remembered how casually he had killed Ye Yuan outside the Holy City back then.

How much time had passed since then?

And now, inexplicably, he was no longer a match for him?

Zhuge Qingxuan's expression flickered; clearly, the two souls were fiercely contending for control of the body.

"You fool! You think you're the best in the world? Even I, back in the day, wouldn't dare claim that. And you?" Li Kui said.

"Hmph! That's because I wasn't born in the era of the Divine Path! Otherwise, my achievements might not be inferior to Zuo Zong's!" Zhuge Qingxuan said with full confidence.

Finally, Zhuge Qingxuan's original soul took control of the body. His face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with madness.

His primal energy surged, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he finally became serious.

"Are you crazy? Your law comprehension isn't enough to unleash a technique of this level! Forcing it will drain you dry!"

From Zhuge Qingxuan's mouth, Li Kui's screech came out.

Sure enough, Zhuge Qingxuan's body rapidly shriveled up!

But he still resolutely unleashed this move!

His hatred for Ye Yuan had reached a point of recklessness.

This hatred was more born from jealousy!

"Madman! You madman! If I had taken over, why would we need to die together with him? You idiot!"

Li Kui screeched repeatedly, but Zhuge Qingxuan completely ignored him.

He wanted to die together with Ye Yuan!

"Mys... tic... Di... vine... Fin... ger!"

Zhuge Qingxuan, now shriveled into a mummy-like form, uttered this final martial technique.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan sneered, "Heh, die together? You're overthinking it! A technique forced out like this is worthy of dying together with me?"

"Swish!"

Ye Yuan drew the Evil-Slaying Sword, and a terrifying sword intent soared into the sky!

Zhuge Qingxuan's aura was strong, but Ye Yuan's sword intent was even stronger, instantly overwhelming it!

Sensing Ye Yuan's aura, Li Kui screeched again, "The Evil-Slaying Sword! This is the Righteous Sword from the third level of the 'Evil-Slaying Sword Art'! You pig head, although the 'Evil-Slaying Sword Art' has no rank, now that he's comprehended the Righteous Sword, you're definitely no match!"

Li Kui was clearly very familiar with the 'Evil-Slaying Sword Art'. Before Ye Yuan even struck, he could already see the depth of it.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Art was the general outline of the Hao Tian Sword Art, and it had no rank. But in terms of power, this single strike of the Righteous Sword was far stronger than Zhuge Qingxuan's half-baked Divine Finger!

The two were simply not on the same level!

Li Kui knew that Zhuge Qingxuan was a genius born once in a hundred thousand years, and he had held high hopes for him.

But when he saw Ye Yuan's sword strike, he realized that Zhuge Qingxuan and Ye Yuan were not even on the same tier!

Ye Yuan was definitely a genius born once in a million years!

Even the Jue Tian of that year definitely did not have talent like Ye Yuan's!

Although the Demon-Slaying Sword Art was the introductory chapter of the Hao Tian Sword Art, it was by no means an easy divine law to comprehend.

On the contrary, comprehending this sword art was extremely difficult.

Yet Ye Yuan had already grasped the third level, the Righteous Sword!

That is to say, Ye Yuan was about to begin formally cultivating the Hao Tian Sword Art, which was truly a fearsome technique!

However, the Divine Finger was already Zhuge Qingxuan's final trump card, and he stubbornly used this move to decide the victor against Ye Yuan.

"Boom, rumble!"

The two profoundly mysterious divine laws clashed, and the terrifying fluctuations spread out, leveling the desolate surroundings.

This duel could be called the pinnacle duel of the Divine Realm!

The number one Divine King, who had held the title for two thousand years, officially withdrew from the stage of history today.

Even though Zhuge Qingxuan had received guidance from Kano and had a superior artistic conception,

Even though his elemental power realm was a notch higher than Ye Yuan's,

The outcome was still a complete defeat!

Zhuge Qingxuan's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, devoid of any sound.

However, Ye Yuan's condition was not good.

He had already been severely injured before, and now forcibly unleashing the Righteous Sword had nearly drained all his elemental power.

It seemed that between Ye Yuan and Zhuge Qingxuan, there was only a tiny minor realm difference.

But in a duel between such experts, if Ye Yuan did not go all out, he would not gain any advantage.

His victory over Zhuge Qingxuan was entirely due to the crushing superiority of his divine law!

Ye Yuan's face was as pale as paper, and his whole body felt utterly drained.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

After confirming that Ye Yuan was merely depleted of elemental power, Bai Guang said excitedly, "Haha, that was thrilling! I didn't expect that big brother's Demon-Slaying Sword Art had already broken through to the third level! I think your talent in the way of the sword is no less than the Ancestral Dragon Soul! Big brother, you've taken down the Heaven-Fixing Divine King, so now you're truly the number one in the Divine Realm!"

Ye Yuan swallowed a pill to restore elemental power and shook his head with a smile, "Number one in the Divine Realm? Hmph, that's nothing but a joke! Senior Fang Tian created this to inspire human warriors to strive upward, but there are too many who haven't been counted! Unfortunately, it didn't achieve the intended effect. Only someone like Zhuge Qingxuan would be immersed in it, unable to extricate himself."

The Divine Realm was too vast; even if Fang Tian had glimpsed the heavenly secrets, he could not possibly include everyone.

At the very least, within the Divine Fall Mountain Range, there were many powerful beings far stronger than the Ten Divine Kings.

And within this terrifying Divine Forbidden Territory, who knew how many formidable existences there were.

Number one in the Divine Realm? Even Jue Tian in his time would not dare to boast so boldly, would he?

Zhuge Qingxuan thought highly of himself, having long occupied the top spot among the Ten Divine Kings, and truly believed he was invincible under heaven.

Little did he know, he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well!

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's expression changed.

"Hehe... kid, I really must thank you! That fool was beaten into slumber by you, and now I can finally take control of this body!"

Zhuge Qingxuan, who had barely any life force left, suddenly surged with formidable energy!
