Chapter 176: Incarnation Outside the Body!

"Bang!"

Kicking away a large stone in front of him, the Black Crow Elder walked out of the pit he had smashed.

At this moment, the Black Crow Elder was tattered and ragged, with not a trace of a master's demeanor—he looked like a beggar.

"Very good! Very good! A bunch of ants have actually pushed me to this extent. You should be proud of yourselves! But the price is all your lives!"

The Black Crow Elder made no effort to hide his killing intent; he was truly enraged!

Before coming to seize the treasure, the Black Crow Elder had calculated everything. His greatest opponent on this trip was the Golden Eagle.

But who would have thought that this brat, who appeared out of nowhere, not only snatched his treasure but also dealt him a heavy blow!

In the Boundless Forest, the Black Crow Elder was a veteran powerhouse. Especially since breaking through to the Sea of Transformation realm, he had never suffered such severe injuries.

And all of this was thanks to this wet-behind-the-ears brat before him!

Without a doubt, the Black Crow Elder had truly stirred up killing intent.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Yuan had also stirred up killing intent at that moment!

Since his submission, Yuan Fei had been dutiful and responsible, and Ye Yuan had accepted this beast servant.

And just now, the Black Crow Elder had nearly killed Yuan Fei!

If not for Yuan Fei using the power of the great formation to block at the last moment, he would likely be dead by now.

Ye Yuan had always been protective of his own, and the Black Crow Elder's actions had thoroughly infuriated him!

Ye Yuan also took Yuan Fei into his spatial artifact, then looked coldly at the Black Crow Elder and said, "My life is right here. If you have the guts, come and take it!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's fighting spirit, the Black Crow Elder burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha... Your greatest reliance was that great formation just now, wasn't it? Now that the formation is broken, you still dare to act arrogantly before me? You really don't know your place!"

Ye Yuan sneered, "If you were at your peak, I naturally wouldn't be a match. But you were already injured outside, and just now you took a blow from Yuan Fei. Your injuries must be quite severe now, right? How much strength can you still exert? Sixty percent? Or fifty percent?"

Seeing through his condition, the Black Crow Elder's expression changed, then he snorted, "Hmph! Even if I can only exert thirty percent of my strength, killing you is no different from crushing an ant!"

"Oh really? I'd like to see how you crush this ant!" Ye Yuan sneered.

With that, Ye Yuan directly swallowed a pill, and his aura instantly surged!

This was a second-grade Five Elements Spirit Communion Pill he had refined before leaving!

Under the Black Crow Elder's horrified gaze, Ye Yuan's cultivation level skyrocketed, instantly breaking through to the third layer of Liquid Essence and finally stopping at the fifth layer!

"Hmm? What kind of pill is this? It can actually break through three realms directly! But... it should only be temporary, right?" the Black Crow Elder sneered.

"Enough to deal with you!" Ye Yuan said coldly.

"Haha, how arrogant! If you could break through to the Crystal Condensation realm, I might be a bit wary. But just raising three minor realms within the Liquid Essence stage—what can that change?"

Ye Yuan said no more and directly transformed into nine figures, nine sword beams merging into one.

The Nine Swords Technique of the Azure Firmament Drifting Snow Sword Art!

Ye Yuan went straight for his strongest killing move!

A hint of surprise flickered in the Black Crow Elder's eyes, clearly not expecting that a mere Liquid Essence realm cultivator could unleash such a powerful sword technique.

Now, with Ye Yuan at the fifth layer of Liquid Essence, the Nine Swords Technique was even more formidable.

However, against a Sea of Transformation realm powerhouse, this sword strike seemed somewhat inadequate.

The Black Crow Elder merely tapped lightly with his staff, directly hitting the sword beam, and the beam dissipated into nothingness!

Powerful! A despair-inducing power!

The ever-victorious Nine Swords Technique posed not even a hint of threat to the Black Crow Elder!

Even with only half his strength, the Black Crow Elder's might was still enough to inspire despair!

However, Ye Yuan was not naive enough to think that this single strike could finish his opponent; he was merely testing the Black Crow Elder's strength.

Clearly, the Black Crow Elder also saw through Ye Yuan's intention and thus displayed his strongest side.

Though it seemed effortless, the Black Crow Elder was inwardly greatly shaken.

He had thought this sword strike was nothing special, but when he met the sword beam, its powerful attack caught him somewhat off guard.

This strike could almost harm a Crystal Condensation realm cultivator!

And his current strength was roughly equivalent to the mid-Crystal Condensation stage.

If not for his deep foundation, that blow just now would have injured him.

Having nearly capsized in a ditch, the Black Crow Elder was secretly furious.

"Hmph! A mere trick! You've had your turn. Now it's mine!"

The Black Crow Elder decided to teach Ye Yuan a lesson and show him what the Sea of Transformation realm meant!

He held his staff horizontally across his chest and once again gathered terrifying heavenly and earthly elemental force.

The Black Crow Elder's staff was clearly also an artifact, capable of enhancing the gathering of elemental force! It was precisely by relying on this that he had defeated the Golden Eagle.

Now, the elemental force gathered by the Black Crow Elder, though not as terrifying as before, was still not something a Liquid Essence realm cultivator like Ye Yuan could withstand.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's expression changed. Gritting his teeth, he once again transformed into nine figures and unleashed the Nine Swords Technique!

Yet, before the elemental force gathered by the Black Crow Elder, this technique was too insignificant, unable to even stir a ripple.

"Hmph! An arrogant brat who doesn't know his place. Die!"

The Black Crow Elder gave a gentle push, and the wave of elemental energy shot toward Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan's expression changed drastically as he quickly tried to evade using his movement technique. But the wave of elemental energy grew faster and faster, following him like a shadow!

"Boom!"

The wave of elemental energy exploded again, turning the cave into a blinding white expanse.

The Black Crow Elder sensed that Ye Yuan's aura had vanished without a trace! Clearly, Ye Yuan was dead beyond dead!

"Hahaha! That arrogant brat is finally dead, isn't he? A mere Liquid Essence realm, daring to be so presumptuous—he really had a death wish!"

The Black Crow Elder had been completely outmaneuvered by Ye Yuan all day, and he was thoroughly displeased.

Now that he knew Ye Yuan was dead, the pent-up frustration in his chest finally released, and he felt an indescribable relief.

It had been many years since the Black Crow Elder had felt so pleased about killing a Liquid Essence realm cultivator.

After a moment, the light dissipated. The Black Crow Elder looked at where Ye Yuan had been, and his laughter abruptly stopped, followed by a change in expression!

That spot was completely empty!

If Ye Yuan had been blasted to smithereens, the Black Crow Elder wouldn't have found it strange, but that area didn't even have a single hair!

When had the power of the elemental wave become so strong?

Had it actually vaporized Ye Yuan entirely?

What a joke!

Just then, the Black Crow Elder's entire body broke out in goosebumps.

Danger!

Without a second thought, the Black Crow Elder rapidly retreated.

"Boom!"

A sword beam shot up from underground, piercing through the ground and heading straight for the Black Crow Elder's face!

"Swish!"

The sword beam grazed the Black Crow Elder's face, cutting off a few strands of his hair!

Close call!

At that moment, Ye Yuan's figure also emerged from underground.

Having narrowly escaped death, the Black Crow Elder's expression changed: "Incarnation Outside the Body!"
