Chapter 2168: Cultivation? That Doesn't Exist!

"This... the twice-awakened Dragon Conquering Floating Tower can't even withstand the Great Universe Heaven-Overturning Palm?"

"This guy... when he fought Long Zheng earlier, he was actually holding back!"

"Since when did the dragon race's innate divine abilities become so fragile?"

...

The many Heavenly Emperors were speechless. Was Ye Yuan planning to sweep through the Misty Battlefield with the move "Dragon Claw of the Universe"?

Moreover, the power Ye Yuan displayed was clearly far greater than when he fought Long Zheng.

If Ye Yuan had used such power when facing Long Zheng, Long Zheng would have been crushed to death by his palm long ago.

"Hehehe... Elder Tianyu, didn't you say Ye Yuan had no chance of winning? What about now?" Long Xiaochun laughed loudly at Long Tianyu.

Long Tianyu's old face flushed red as he argued stubbornly, "You saw it too—Ao Yu still has his Boundless Heavenly Fist as a trump card, and that's the real killer move!"

Long Xiaochun curled her lips in disdain. "Hmph! Do you think Ye Yuan has no cards left up his sleeve? Just wait and see!"

...

Ao Yu crawled out from underground, covered in blood.

Ye Yuan hadn't held back with his Great Universe Heaven-Overturning Palm, so Ao Yu's injuries were naturally much more severe than Long Zheng's.

Ao Yu looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.

He didn't know that Ye Yuan's fight with Long Zheng had already shocked the Heavenly Emperor-level experts outside.

He still thought that with his current strength, he could easily trample Ye Yuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, he was the one being trampled by Ye Yuan.

"Oh, you can still get up? Not bad," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, looking at Ao Yu.

Ao Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Damn it, you forced me! Now, I'll make you vanish into thin air!"

He withdrew his fist stance, and behind him, the true dragon spirit coalesced once more.

But this time, the true dragon spirit was several times more solid than before.

Before he even struck, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's pupils slightly contracted, and he wore a solemn expression.

It seemed this guy wasn't all talk.

With just this move, Ao Yu could easily kill a Second Heaven Celestial Lord!

"Boundless Heavenly Fist? It does have some semblance! But unfortunately, you're still far from it!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Ao Yu sneered, "Stop pretending! If you can take this punch, then you can be arrogant!"

A playful smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth. He brought his hands together and formed a circle in front of his chest.

A ball of light appeared in the center of Ye Yuan's palm.

There was no terrifying aura; everything remained calm.

Ao Yu's movement and Ye Yuan's stillness formed a stark contrast.

Seeing this, Ao Yu's pupils contracted sharply as he exclaimed, "Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand! Th-this is impossible! You just broke through to the Celestial Lord realm; how could you have mastered the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand so quickly?"

Ye Yuan chuckled lightly. "Cultivation? That doesn't exist! Didn't anyone tell you that I have an ancestral dragon soul?"

Ao Yu's expression changed drastically as he looked at Ye Yuan in shock.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to have an ancestral dragon soul!

In fact, the Primordial Dragon Qin had long mastered the fourth form of the "Dragon Claw of the Universe," the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand.

After Ye Yuan broke through to the seventh rank, he naturally grasped this martial technique.

The Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand was notoriously difficult to cultivate among the dragon race.

Many Celestial Lord-level experts, after cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, only achieved a half-baked level.

Thus, many would rather awaken their innate divine abilities than spend hundreds of thousands of years cultivating this technique.

However, Long Qin was extremely talented and had cultivated this technique to the Great Perfection stage.

So, as soon as Ye Yuan made a move, he displayed the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand at the Great Perfection stage.

As for boring things like cultivation, for Ye Yuan, who had an ancestral dragon soul, they simply didn't exist.

At this moment, Ao Yu felt like a herd of divine grass-mud horses was stampeding through his heart!

Outside, the crowd of Heavenly Emperors had erupted!

"Just how many trump cards does this guy have? The power of the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand is already on par with ordinary innate divine abilities!"

"Why did he master the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand right after breaking through to the Celestial Lord realm?"

"This is truly a clash of titans! I wonder who will win between the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand and the Boundless Heavenly Fist!"

...

Seeing everyone's shock, Long Xiaochun looked smug.

"Hehe, cultivation? What's that? Ye Yuan mastering the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand doesn't require any cultivation at all!" Long Xiaochun said proudly.

The crowd was stunned, but Chen Xing's eyes flickered as he said, "This kid... could he have an ancestral dragon soul?"

Long Xiaochun smiled and nodded. "Ye Yuan's ancestor is my mother's brother, Long Qin. He must have already mastered the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand, so Ye Yuan doesn't need to cultivate it."

Ao Qi's expression changed as he exclaimed, "Long Qin! The one from your Rain Dragon Village, known as the most talented son of the Heavenly Dragon?"

Long Xiaochun shook her head. "I'm not sure about that."

Chen Xing nodded slightly. "I've heard of him too. It's said that he had great prospects of entering the Heavenly Dragon Mountain back then, but he acted on impulse and charged into the Dragon Eye Cave, only to disappear without a trace. Who would have thought that among his descendants, such a prodigy would emerge!"

Although Ye Yuan's strength had only revealed the tip of the iceberg, these Heavenly Emperors understood clearly.

Ye Yuan had already surpassed his predecessor!

However, these Heavenly Emperors only saw the battle scenes on the light screen and didn't know the actual situation in the Misty Battlefield.

Ye Yuan's Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand didn't have earth-shattering momentum; it was as calm as a still well.

To Ao Yu, Ye Yuan's move seemed like an empty shell.

Of course, Ao Yu wasn't foolish enough to think Ye Yuan would use an empty shell against him.

On the contrary, his hair stood on end, and an extremely dangerous feeling washed over him.

But having undergone a second awakening, he refused to accept fate.

"So what if it's the Instantaneous Heavenly Dragon Hand? I don't believe that mere martial techniques can break my twice-awakened innate divine ability! Boundless Heavenly Fist, kill!"

Roaring, Ao Yu unleashed the Boundless Heavenly Fist.

This punch was supremely firm and yang, fully displaying the dragon race's domineering nature.

The true dragon spirit behind him suddenly threw a punch, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

It was with this move that Ao Yu had previously defeated Long Qi!

Facing this earth-shattering strike, Ye Yuan remained unfazed. He simply pushed lightly, and the light ball in his palm vanished in an instant.

Boom!

In almost an instant, a deafening explosion erupted.

The massive true dragon spirit was shattered into pieces by an inexplicable force in a flash.

Ao Yu's pupils contracted sharply. He wanted to flee, but it was too late.

His entire body was enveloped by a strange force, and then it exploded wildly.

Boom, boom, boom...

After the explosions, Ao Yu collapsed limply to the ground like a pile of mud.

Looking at Ye Yuan, who slowly walked up to him, Ao Yu's eyes were filled with despair.

"Wh... why?"

He was unwilling!

He had thought the Misty Battlefield would be his place of rebirth, but who knew... it would become his place of fall!

He had defeated Long Qi, ranked in the top three, yet he had been utterly defeated by Ye Yuan!
