Chapter 1619: Enemy of All Humanity?

"We're old friends, no need for such formality. Just call me Ye Yuan. Ling Feng, long time no see. You seem to be doing well now!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Ling Feng was utterly shocked. In just over a hundred years, Ye Yuan's cultivation had grown from the initial Insightful Heaven stage to the current Return to Void Great Perfection.

Such a cultivation speed was simply inconceivable.

"Ye... Elder Ye! N-no... not at all!"

Ling Feng also came to his senses, immediately realizing that Ye Yuan's status was now extraordinary. How could he still treat Ye Yuan as a brother?

Ye Yuan smiled and didn't insist.

He knew that an insurmountable gap had already formed between him and Ling Feng, making it difficult for them to converse as equals.

His growth would inevitably bring about such situations.

Yan Ze was equally shocked. Back then, Ye Yuan was just a youngster in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, after over a hundred years, he had already become an elder of the Imperial City.

Such a leap made him somewhat uncomfortable.

But he quickly recovered and said to Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, you know this area best. Introduce the situation of Demon Summoning Ridge to the各位大人."

Ling Feng bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Yan Ze!"

At this moment, many Divine Lord realm experts gathered around, each exuding an imposing aura.

Facing so many Divine Lord realm experts, Ling Feng's face turned pale.

Fortunately, after years of training on the battlefield, he was a man of vigor and could barely remain calm.

Thus, he began to speak eloquently, introducing the terrain of Demon Summoning Ridge, the dangers of the natural chasm, and the distribution of demon forces on the opposite side.

Having struggled here for many years, Ling Feng knew these things like the back of his hand.

Meanwhile, Yan Ze was pulled aside by Ling Zikun, who asked in a low voice, "How do you know Ye Yuan?"

At this, Yan Ze's expression turned serious, and he looked at Ye Yuan with great respect.

If not for Ye Yuan back then, Xiyu City would have long been breached.

Now, this place would probably be demon territory.

He recounted the events of that year, leaving Ling Zikun astonished.

"This kid is indeed a freak! At the Insightful Heaven stage, he could single-handedly take on the demon army. It's no wonder he has such achievements now," Ling Zikun sighed.

Yan Ze asked curiously, "Grand Elder, Ye Yuan is only at Return to Void Great Perfection. Even if his strength is extraordinary, it must be limited. How can he become an elder of the Sky Eagle Imperial City?"

Ling Zikun chuckled and said, "This kid's alchemy skills are such that even the Grand Elder of the Sky Eagle Imperial City's Alchemy Tower admits inferiority. What do you think? Can he become an elder? Moreover, he has comprehended the laws of space. He's simply a prodigy!"

Yan Ze's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although he guarded the border, he knew very well what the Grand Elder of the Sky Eagle Imperial City's Alchemy Tower meant.

Ye Yuan, only at Return to Void Great Perfection, had made the Grand Elder willingly concede defeat.

Such strength was too monstrous, wasn't it?

Soon, Ling Feng finished introducing the general situation, and everyone gained an understanding.

Since the treasure had not yet appeared, after learning the situation, everyone went to find places to rest and conserve their energy.

Ye Yuan, however, pulled Ling Feng aside to catch up and gave him some second-grade divine pills.

Ling Feng had good talent and was clearly already at the peak of Return to Void中期.

When he saw the pills Ye Yuan gave him, his jaw dropped.

He realized that with these pills, breaking through to the Return to Void realm should no longer be a problem.

What Ye Yuan left for him were all divine-grade pills!

In the following days, everyone quietly waited for the day the treasure would appear.

One day, a beam of light shot up from Demon Summoning Ridge, blazing to the extreme, giving people a strong sense of shock.

"This... such a powerful aura. It's the aura of the Great Dao laws."

"The treasure has finally appeared! Just from this aura, it's definitely a rare treasure!"

"Too strong! No wonder it's said even Heavenly God experts would be tempted. I must obtain this treasure!"

...

Feeling the power of the treasure, everyone became wildly enthusiastic.

The crowd came to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

"The treasure has appeared, everyone hurry down!"

Someone shouted and leaped into the natural chasm.

With the first person taking the lead, others immediately followed suit. Many rogue cultivators, afraid of losing the advantage, also jumped down.

"Ah!"

But as soon as they jumped, some immediately realized something was wrong.

Those people suddenly lost their balance and fell straight into the abyss.

Screams came one after another, sending chills down everyone's spine.

These were all Divine Lord realm experts who could fly, yet they couldn't resist the magnetic field in the chasm.

"Everyone, don't jump! This magnetic field is too strong; we can't fly at all!" someone exclaimed in alarm.

Despair appeared on their faces. Were they going to enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed?

The Sky Eagle Imperial City group also arrived at the edge of the chasm.

Ye Yuan noticed that the magnetic field was now more than ten times stronger than before.

With such terrifying gravity, even Divine Lord realm experts could hardly control themselves.

And he knew that the further down, the stronger the field. Falling would only result in being shattered to pieces.

"Ye Yuan, what... what should we do?" Zheng Qi couldn't help asking.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "We'll have to rely on our own abilities! Based on my estimation, those at Divine Lord Seventh Heaven and above should be able to go down alone, and those at Divine Lord Ninth Heaven can probably take two or three people down."

Zheng Qi said in surprise, "Is the field really that strong?"

Ye Yuan nodded. "It's only stronger, not weaker! I can't say for sure how strong the field is below. Perhaps even a Divine Lord Seventh Heaven expert will suffer greatly going down."

"Hiss..."

The Sky Eagle group gasped in shock. The intensity of the field was too great.

The key was that there was no shortcut; they could only rely on the world power of Divine Lord realm experts to forcibly break free from the field's束缚 and stabilize themselves.

No one had expected such a situation.

"This... doesn't that mean only four or five of us can go down?" Zheng Qi said helplessly.

Everyone looked disappointed. Not being able to go down meant they had missed this opportunity.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That's for others. For us, of course, everyone goes down."

"Um... Elder Ye, you understand space laws. Can you take people down?" Ling Zikun suddenly came close and asked Ye Yuan.

His words immediately attracted the attention of many, who crowded around.

"Elder Ye, take us down!"

"Yes, we might face the threat of demons below. More people mean more strength!"

"Elder Ye, we should unite against the external enemy now, don't you think?"

...

Those Divine Lord realm experts looked at Ye Yuan eagerly, afraid he would refuse.

But at this moment, Gao Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Why are you all so humble? If he dares not agree, he will be the enemy of all humanity!"
