Chapter 1618: The Unlucky One

"Haha... why shouldn't I be smug? This time, a precious treasure appears, and it might just be the opportunity for me to break through to the Divine God realm! The heights you and your dead master could never reach, I will attain. Tell me, shouldn't I be smug?" Gao Yuan said triumphantly.

Speaking of which, he was still of an older generation than Zheng Qi.

Given his seniority and strength, he shouldn't have come here in person.

But now that he had come, it was naturally for this opportunity.

He already had one foot in the Divine God realm, but he had been unable to break through.

Such an opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let slip easily.

Zheng Qi was so angry his face turned green, but he was utterly helpless.

Although he had risen from behind to catch up with Gao Yuan's realm, who would have thought that by exploiting the opportunity from harming his master, Gao Yuan had half a foot in the Divine God realm.

Zheng Qi's talent was also extremely outstanding, but when it came to the Divine God realm, he was willing but unable.

Over the years, he had tried almost every method, but could not find the opportunity to break through to the Divine God realm.

"You might indeed obtain the opportunity and break through to the Divine God realm, but you might also fall in the Demon Summoning Ridge and become a handful of dust," Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.

Gao Yuan's face darkened, and a murderous gleam appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was unafraid and met Gao Yuan's gaze.

"Where did this brat come from? When elders speak, is it your place to interrupt?"

No one expected that, in the midst of speaking, Gao Yuan raised his hand and struck out a palm.

A powerful palm force surged toward Ye Yuan with lightning speed.

This palm was too sudden, without any warning beforehand, so that no one had time to react.

Gasps of surprise arose all around, as if they had already seen Ye Yuan being smashed into a pulp by the palm.

How powerful was a palm strike from a half-step Divine God? Even a casual blow was not something a Return to Void Great Perfection martial artist could withstand.

But in the next moment, everyone's gasps turned into astonishment.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, a Divine Lord First Layer strongman beside Gao Yuan was sent flying backward.

That man fell to the ground, utterly miserable, already at death's door.

Gao Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Space Law!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, not bad, you have some insight."

Gao Yuan's face turned extremely ugly. He took out a pill and said coldly to the person beside him, "Give it to him!"

The person beside him dared not delay and quickly went to give the pill to that unlucky Divine Lord First Layer strongman, bustling about.

Gao Yuan looked at Ye Yuan, a cold gleam in his eyes.

He had just bullied Ye Yuan for being young, assuming he was a junior disciple of Zheng Qi, brought along to see the world.

Who would have thought this young man was so troublesome, actually having comprehended Space Law!

With Gao Yuan's keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Ye Yuan's Space Law was not half-baked but deeply realized.

That move just now seemed simple, but in reality, Ye Yuan had manipulated Space Law, undergoing a very complex spatial traversal, to transfer the attack onto that unlucky one.

Such means were simply inconceivable.

"Space Law! That young man actually knows Space Law!"

"My god, this kid has actually comprehended Space Law, and he's only at the Return to Void realm!"

"Since when did the Tianying Imperial City produce such a prodigy?"

...

Hearing the words 'Space Law', exclamations arose all around.

Such an incredible law, who wouldn't want to comprehend it?

But even if they cultivated bitterly for ten thousand years, they couldn't grasp even a fraction of it.

These Divine Lord realm experts, though able to use some spatial power, still only understood a bit of the surface of Space Law.

And Ye Yuan, only at the Return to Void realm, hadn't even opened his own small world, yet he had already comprehended Space Law.

For a moment, emotions of jealousy and envy filled the air.

When Gao Yuan struck just now, Zheng Qi was also startled, but Gao Yuan had caught him off guard, leaving him no time to rescue.

Who would have thought Ye Yuan was already prepared and turned the tables, crippling one of the opponent's Divine Lord realm experts.

All the frustration from before now turned into secret satisfaction.

"Old man Gao, this time you've misjudged. Ye Yuan is no junior; he is an elder of my Tianying Imperial City. He has the right to scold you a bit," Zheng Qi said with a smile.

Another wave of exclamations arose from the surroundings. They had never heard of a Return to Void realm martial artist becoming an elder of the imperial city.

But just based on this Space Law, it seemed sufficient.

After all, he had nearly killed a Divine Lord First Layer in one move!

Although it seemed opportunistic, who else could do it?

Gao Yuan's gaze was icy cold, clearly having murderous intent toward Ye Yuan. He said coldly, "Very well, you are provoking my anger! Then, be prepared to bear the brunt of my wrath!"

As he spoke, a terrifying pressure descended instantly.

Those of slightly weaker strength could barely stand.

The pressure of a half-step Divine God was too powerful!

Zheng Qi's expression turned grave, thinking that this old man seemed to have grown even stronger.

But Ye Yuan was calm and composed, as if unconcerned.

"Ah, Brother Gao, for my sake, let go of your grudges for now, shall we? The demons opposite are eyeing us covetously. If we fight among ourselves first, who knows who will get this great opportunity?" At this moment, Ling Zikun suddenly appeared and spoke.

Gao Yuan's expression changed, and his aura receded instantly.

He snorted coldly and said, "Ling Zikun, for your sake today, I'll spare this brat! But after this matter, I will surely seek justice for my disciple!"

Ling Zikun quickly said, "Brother Gao, calm down! Calm down! By the way, this is Yan Ze, stationed at Xiyu City. He is familiar with the situation around here. Let him introduce it first."

A middle-aged man stepped out from behind Ling Zikun, bowed to Zheng Qi, Gao Yuan, and the others, and said, "Your humble servant Yan Ze greets the esteemed lords!"

"Ye... Ye Yuan! You are Ye Yuan!" Suddenly, a person behind Yan Ze exclaimed in shock.

Yan Ze's gaze sharpened, and he swept his eyes over Ye Yuan, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, he too realized and exclaimed, "You... you are Ye Yuan!"

Ye Yuan had long recognized these two. One was Yan Ze, whom he had met once, and the other was an old acquaintance, Ling Feng.

He hadn't expected to see these two in such a setting.

Ling Zikun's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "What Ye Yuan? Is that how you address him? You should call him Lord Ye Yuan, or Elder Ye Yuan!"

This shock was no small matter. Ling Feng didn't understand, but Yan Ze knew what 'elder' meant.

Back then, when he had seen Ye Yuan, the latter was just a young lad who had just entered the Insightful Heavens realm.

Only a little over a hundred years had passed, and Ye Yuan had already become an elder of the imperial city?

This... this was too incredible, wasn't it?
