Chapter 2197: A Battle Staking Everything!

Ye Yuan's eyes had turned completely grayish-white.

His entire being seemed to have turned into an ice sculpture, exuding a frigid aura from head to toe.

It was not because he had cultivated an ice-type technique, but because he had become devoid of emotion.

And his distance from Yuan Jiu was growing closer and closer!

Yuan Jiu was astonished to find that his pressure could no longer stop Ye Yuan in the slightest.

"You truly surprise me. A human martial artist at the Heavenly Sovereign realm can actually mobilize Dao patterns! Young man, you have really made me see the human race in a new light!" Yuan Jiu was not intimidated, but instead praised him.

Surprised as he was, he did not feel much of a sense of crisis toward Ye Yuan.

Given Ye Yuan's cultivation level, no matter how extraordinary he was, he could not possibly inflict any harm on him.

Of this, he was certain!

At the eighth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm, he was an absolute powerhouse and a supreme existence throughout the entire Tongtian Realm.

They could look down on everything!

Ye Yuan walked step by step until he stood ten zhang in front of Yuan Jiu, then halted.

Yuan Jiu chuckled lightly, "Young man, not bad! Having the courage to stand before me, you are already stronger than the vast majority of people in this world!"

What kind of formidable existence was Yuan Jiu?

Being his opponent required courage!

This was no joke, but the immense pressure naturally formed when the gap in strength reached a certain level.

Let alone Ye Yuan at the third level of the Heavenly Sovereign realm; even if a human at the third level of the Heavenly Emperor realm stood ten zhang in front of Yuan Jiu, he would probably be scared shitless!

Ye Yuan halted his steps and said coldly, "What will make you see me in a new light is yet to come!"

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth.

Then, the two figures vanished into thin air!

Xin's pupils contracted, then a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"He actually took Ninth Uncle into his small world. What a reckless fool!" Xin sneered.

Those abyssal demonic beasts were all in an uproar.

"Has this kid been scared stupid?"

"With a flick of Lord Yuan Jiu's finger, his small world would probably shatter, right?"

"Small worlds are the most fragile. Others are afraid of their opponents finding their small world, but this guy actually took Lord Yuan Jiu in voluntarily!"

"If it were someone else, that would be one thing, but that is Lord Yuan Jiu!"

...

Even Yue Mengli was utterly perplexed, her face full of worry.

The small world was the foundation of a human martial artist, the source of their power.

At the same time, the small world was also the most vulnerable place.

Every human martial artist would guard the entrance to their small world tightly, afraid that an opponent might break in.

If the opponent was weak, it was manageable, but if the opponent was powerful, they could destroy the small world in an instant.

Even if the opponent was not strong, fighting within the small world would cause permanent damage to it.

Killing a thousand enemies, losing eight hundred of your own!

Just like back then, when a group of Heavenly Sovereigns broke into the Xianlin World; even a slight exchange of spells caused indelible damage to the Xianlin World.

If not for Ye Yuan ultimately turning the tide, the Xianlin World would have long been reduced to ashes.

For Ye Yuan, at the third level of the Heavenly Sovereign realm, to take in a god at the eighth level of the Heavenly Emperor realm, was that not asking for trouble?

Yuan Jiu looked at Ye Yuan with interest and chuckled lightly, "Is this your final trump card? Your small world cannot withstand even a single blow from me! This trump card of yours disappoints me greatly!"

Yuan Jiu thought the same as everyone else: this final trump card of Ye Yuan's was not only useless but also extremely foolish.

Perhaps Ye Yuan was very confident in his small world, but what kind of person would dare to let in an eighth-level Heavenly Emperor?

Moreover, he, Yuan Jiu, was no ordinary eighth-level Heavenly Emperor!

As one of the Nine Elders, his strength far surpassed that of gods of the same rank.

What was an eighth-level Heavenly Emperor, anyway?

"Oh, is that so?"

Gray Pupil Ye Yuan coldly uttered two words, then his figure suddenly vanished.

Yuan Jiu still wore a faint smile on his face, unconcerned by Ye Yuan's move.

Yet the next moment, the smile on his face abruptly disappeared, replaced by extreme gravity.

An extremely dangerous sensation surged into his heart!

It was the power of the Great Dao!

Dao patterns!

Without time to think further, Yuan Jiu activated the full power of the Great Dao within him, meeting Ye Yuan's fist.

Boom!

The entire Chaotic World trembled, and Yuan Jiu was sent flying backward, his qi sea churning.

Then, with a look of utter shock, he stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.

"And now?" Ye Yuan said coldly.

Yuan Jiu narrowed his eyes, finally taking a serious look at the Chaotic World.

As he looked, his heart shook violently!

The Chaotic World was completely different from the world he knew!

An extremely dense aura of the Great Dao, thick and solid Chaotic Divine Essence, and Dao patterns filling the sky.

All of this together made him feel as if he were in the prehistoric Tongtian Realm!

For an ordinary human Heavenly Lord, their small world would have long taken shape, able to accommodate living beings, absorb faith power, and nurture treasures.

But Ye Yuan's small world seemed to have only just formed!

Everything was still in the process of gestation.

Although this world was still in its infancy, the power of the Heavenly Dao it contained was actually on par with that of him, one of the Nine Elders of the Divine Clan!

Within this world, Ye Yuan could fully mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao to fight.

Yuan Jiu stared intently at Ye Yuan, shocked, and said, "Is this your small world? How can a small world be like this? What kind of cultivation technique have you been practicing!"

Gray Pupil Ye Yuan said coldly, "That's none of your concern! Prepare to die!"

Yuan Jiu's pupils contracted at these words, and he snorted, "You underestimate the Divine Clan too much! Your small world indeed surprises me, but it... is still too weak! After this battle, your small world... will shatter! And you will become a cripple!"

Gray Pupil Ye Yuan said coldly, "So what?"

As he spoke, Gray Pupil Ye Yuan threw another punch.

Yuan Jiu engaged!

Every punch from the two carried an extremely intense aura of the Great Dao.

This battle was truly world-destroying!

Every exchange of blows between the two shook the Chaotic World to its foundations.

Space shattered, and the qi sea churned.

In fact, every strike from Yuan Jiu caused irreversible damage to Ye Yuan.

But he simply didn't care.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...

Time passed minute by minute. No one knew how long it had been, but Yuan Jiu still hadn't come out.

It was then that the Abyssal Demonic Beasts finally sensed something amiss.

"What's going on? Could it be... that Lord Yuan Jiu is actually locked in fierce combat with that brat?"

"How is that possible? A mere Heavenly Lord's small world can't withstand even a ten-thousandth of Lord Yuan Jiu's power!"

"But what are those two doing inside the small world? They can't be chatting, can they?"

...

Everyone's hearts itched like a cat was scratching them; they desperately wanted to see what was happening inside the Chaotic World.

But the entrance to the Chaotic World could only be opened by Ye Yuan.

If he didn't open it, no one else could get in!
