Chapter 2182: The Demon Appears

A dark object flashed and vanished, so fast it was inconceivable, directly遁入 the void.

The three Heavenly Emperors were caught off guard, unable even to react.

However, Ye Yuan was already prepared, his lips parting slightly.

“Stop!”

Ye Yuan uttered a true word, and time seemed to freeze.

The black insect, before it could flee, was suspended in midair.

The three Heavenly Emperors stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene, momentarily forgetting to act.

“What are you waiting for?” Ye Yuan snapped.

Luofeng suddenly came to his senses, pointed into the void, and a powerful禁制 shot out, completely trapping the black insect.

This was a black insect at the Heavenly Sovereign level; with Ye Yuan’s strength, it was difficult to confine it, so he let Luofeng act.

Ye Yuan’s gaze fell on the black insect, but the three Heavenly Emperors stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, as if looking at a monster.

The scene just now had struck them with overwhelming force!

Time and space froze simultaneously!

Even Jun Mingxin was affected by Ye Yuan’s时空冻结, her movements delayed for an instant.

As for Luofeng and Tan Yi, the effect was negligible.

Their strength was too great.

But that did not diminish their astonishment!

“Heavenly Dao True Word! It’s actually the Heavenly Dao True Word! At the Heavenly Sovereign stage, he has mastered the Heavenly Dao True Word!” Luofeng gasped.

“How could this kid have mastered the Heavenly Dao True Word?” Tan Yi exclaimed.

“Such a powerful Heavenly Dao True Word; I was actually frozen for an instant!” Jun Mingxin said in shock.

Ye Yuan himself was unaware, looking at the black insect, his expression growing increasingly grave.

The aura emanating from this black insect was very familiar to him!

“This is… Hmm? Why are you all staring at me like that?” Ye Yuan turned to discuss with the three, only to find them looking at him with extremely strange expressions.

What do you think?

You pull out such an outrageous move, and we’re not supposed to be surprised?

The three Heavenly Emperors were speechless.

Inadvertent showing off is the most lethal!

“What was that move just now?” Luofeng asked.

Ye Yuan was taken aback, then said, “You mean the时空冻结? That’s the innate divine ability of the Dragon Clan! Didn’t Zheng Yufeng tell you that I am the Chosen One of the Dragon Clan?”

Ye Yuan wore a look of “you’ve never seen the world.”

Since he had put forward this title, he was naturally not an unknown figure in the Dragon Clan; having one or two powerful divine abilities was normal, wasn’t it?

But these people had never taken his latter identity seriously.

“时空冻结… the Chosen One of the Dragon Clan…” Luofeng murmured, clearly unaware of what the Chosen One meant.

These Dragon Clan members of supreme bloodline were all extremely mysterious.

In the Tongtian Realm, even Heavenly Emperor-level experts rarely knew the secrets within.

The name of the Sub-Saint was thunderous in their ears, so much so that they overlooked the identity of the Dragon Clan’s Chosen One.

But Luofeng now understood that the Chosen One was definitely a status comparable to the Sub-Saint!

Based on this one move alone!

This person before him was truly an indescribable prodigy!

With such discerning eyes, how could Yue Mengli have chosen such a peerless prodigy?

With Ye Yuan around, who else could catch her eye?

At this thought, Luofeng couldn’t help but sympathize with his own disciple.

But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “That’s not important! What’s important is… this black insect is strange!”

Luofeng and the others tensed and asked, “Oh? What’s strange?”

Ye Yuan said, “This thing is called an Abyss Demon Beast!”

Yes, the aura emanating from this black insect was exactly that of an Abyss Demon Beast!

Ye Yuan hadn’t expected to encounter an Abyss Demon Beast here.

Weren’t those monsters all suppressed by Dragon Clan experts in the Dragon Eye Cave?

Could it be… that Li’er had fallen into such a terrifying place?

At this thought, Ye Yuan wished he could fly to the Black Flame Cave immediately.

“Abyss Demon Beast? Never heard of it!” Luofeng said, bewildered.

Ye Yuan flicked his finger, sending out a sword qi that directly killed the black insect, and said solemnly, “You don’t need to know; you just need to understand that these things are very dangerous! If they ever escape to the outside world, it will be a catastrophe!”

Suppressing the Abyss Demon Beasts was a secret of the Dragon Clan, unknown to the outside world, and Ye Yuan naturally would not divulge it.

But for this thing to suddenly appear in the Tongtian Realm was clearly not a good omen.

Hearing this, the three had varied expressions, but Ye Yuan had already returned to the bedside and continued to施展 the Chaos Heavenly Star Technique.

His Chaos Heavenly Star Technique encompassed everything, a culmination of his alchemy, and was more than capable of scraping the bones to heal the wounds.

Under the Chaos Heavenly Star Technique, nothing could hide, and Ye Yuan discovered that this little abyss insect had been hiding in Zhuo Yuanzhi’s sea of consciousness, extremely concealed.

No wonder even Tan Yi, an eight-star Divine Alchemist, had not detected it.

After a day and a night, Zhuo Yuanzhi’s rotting body began to slowly improve.

His faint aura also gradually recovered.

Seeing this, Tan Yi’s eyes widened!

“Such a domineering alchemy technique, with such an effect of bringing the dead back to life! No wonder! No wonder even a powerhouse like the Saint Ancestor’s High Priest regarded him highly and bestowed upon him the title of Sub-Saint!”

Two more days passed, and Zhuo Yuanzhi finally slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the unfamiliar man before him, Zhuo Yuanzhi felt as if he were dreaming.

“Zhuo Yuanzhi, I ask you, how is Li’er now?” As soon as Zhuo Yuanzhi woke up, Ye Yuan asked impatiently.

Zhuo Yuanzhi had clearly not yet emerged from his nightmare state, murmuring, “Li… Li’er?”

Ye Yuan said solemnly, “It’s Yue Mengli! Didn’t you enter the Black Flame Cave together? Where is she now? Is she still alive?”

Zhuo Yuanzhi’s eyes gradually focused, as if waking from a dream.

He tried hard to recall the situation at that time, his gaze gradually turning fearful.

“Ah! Don’t come near! Don’t come near! I… I’ll kill you all!”

Zhuo Yuanzhi seemed to recall some terrifying scene, becoming completely frenzied, and suddenly struck out with a palm.

The terrifying force erupted at such a close distance; one could imagine how fearsome its power was.

But he was fast; Ye Yuan was faster!

Before Zhuo Yuanzhi’s force could be released, Ye Yuan struck first, pointing a finger and directly immobilizing him.

Then, an overwhelmingly powerful soul force forcefully钻入 Zhuo Yuanzhi’s sea of consciousness.

“Ye Yuan, what are you doing?” Luofeng exclaimed in alarm and anger.

Performing a soul search causes irreversible damage to a person.

But this happened too suddenly; they had no time to stop it.

Interrupting Ye Yuan at this point would make Zhuo Yuanzhi even more beyond hope.

“Shut up! He’ll be fine!” Ye Yuan said sternly.

Then, scenes began to浮现 in Ye Yuan’s mind.

After the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, Ye Yuan’s soul power became more condensed and powerful.

With Zhuo Yuanzhi unconscious, Ye Yuan probing his soul would not cause harm.

But to Luofeng and the others, this scene was utterly inconceivable.
