Chapter 2233: A Grudge Is Born

"Soul-Summoning Heavenly Emperor!"

"Broken-Feather Heavenly Emperor!"

"Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor!"

…

"That's... Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor! He's a Second Heaven Heavenly Emperor!"

One after another, powerful figures appeared, seven in total!

The crowd gasped, clearly not expecting so many Heavenly Emperors to have been hiding.

Wu Jiang looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, wondering how he had discovered these Heavenly Emperors.

Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor swept his gaze across the scene and said coldly, "All Heavenly Venerables are forbidden from acting on their own! Disobey, and you die!"

The Heavenly Venerables present changed color instantly, realizing they were being conscripted as cannon fodder!

First and Second Heaven Heavenly Emperors were at the bottom of the Heavenly Emperor ranks and lacked the confidence of those above.

Of course, the places where Third Heaven Heavenly Emperors and above went were useless for such cannon fodder.

This anomaly was very strange, and these First and Second Heaven Heavenly Emperors were extremely cautious, making it a good choice to use Heavenly Venerables as cannon fodder.

In various secret realms, it was common for the strong to use the weak as cannon fodder.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Suddenly, several figures dashed madly toward the entrance of the Asura Blood Pool.

Heavenly Venerable experts were incredibly fast!

But fast as they were, Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor was faster!

A cold smile flickered at the corner of his mouth; he flicked his finger, and a few points of light arrived in an instant.

Boom, boom, boom...

Not one of those fleeing Heavenly Venerables escaped; they were all killed instantly!

Among them were even several late-stage Heavenly Venerable masters!

"Anyone else want to leave?" Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor said indifferently, without a trace of pity.

The others were silent as cicadas in winter.

Before a Heavenly Emperor, they were like ants!

Only a Heavenly Emperor could oppose a Heavenly Emperor!

Wu Jiang's deathly pale face turned even whiter.

He couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan, only to find him calm and seemingly unworried, which put him somewhat at ease.

Seeing no one step forward, Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor said flatly, "Good, since no one wants to leave, let's go in."

It must be said that the Asura Blood Pool had gathered countless experts.

There were over a hundred Heavenly Venerables alone.

This force was already extremely powerful.

Just as everyone was about to enter the blood sea, Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor suddenly let out a soft exclamation, "There's even a human little worm! You, come here!"

As he spoke, Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor pointed at Ye Yuan.

Wu Jiang's expression changed, and he looked nervously at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan stepped forward slowly and said calmly, "What instruction does Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor have?"

Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor frowned and said displeasedly, "Such an insolent brat! A mere human worm dares to covet the treasures of my ghost clan?"

With that, he flicked his finger, and a white beam shot directly at Ye Yuan.

The terrifying energy fluctuation made all the Heavenly Venerables change color and scatter.

Ye Yuan was also surprised inwardly, not expecting this Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor to kill without a word.

But though startled, he was not flustered; he retreated explosively and struck out with his bone sword.

Boom, boom, boom...

In an instant, Ye Yuan unleashed over a thousand fierce sword beams, blasting toward the white beam.

After retreating several thousand zhang, the white beam was finally completely dispersed by Ye Yuan.

A huge chasm was blasted between them.

Ye Yuan sheathed his sword and stood, glaring at Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Venerables looked at Ye Yuan in shock.

Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

This scene had happened too suddenly, too fast for anyone to react.

But seeing Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor attack, they all thought Ye Yuan was dead.

Unexpectedly, in the span of a breath, Ye Yuan had unleashed over a thousand sword beams, directly canceling out Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor's attack.

Although this strike was merely a casual blow from Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor, it was not something any Heavenly Venerable could block.

This strike was more than enough to kill an Eighth Heaven Heavenly Venerable!

At least among the Heavenly Venerables present, fewer than ten could block it.

"Heh, Ghost-Sorrow, you've really grown up, can't even handle a mere human Heavenly Venerable brat," Soul-Summoning Heavenly Emperor said gloatingly.

"Ghost-Sorrow, I don't know you! This is too embarrassing!" Broken-Feather Heavenly Emperor also looked as if he couldn't bear to watch.

Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor was momentarily stunned, then flooded with boundless rage.

In front of a group of Heavenly Emperors, he had lost face completely!

"Damned human brat, I'll kill you!"

With that, Ghost-Sorrow Heavenly Emperor's terrifying pressure suddenly exploded, and he was about to unleash a devastating strike.

Feeling this dreadful pressure, the Heavenly Venerables turned ashen.

The might of a Heavenly Emperor was too terrifying!

"Ghost-Sorrow, spare the boy. His strength is decent; killing him would be a waste." At this moment, Nine-Lives suddenly spoke up.

Nine-Lives Heavenly Emperor was a Second Heaven Heavenly Emperor; Ghost-Sorrow had to give him face.

He snorted coldly, "Boy, you're lucky!"

Nine-Lives said flatly, "Let's go in!"

The Heavenly Venerables opened their domains to isolate the blood light and slowly entered the Asura Blood Pool.

Ye Yuan suppressed his anger and followed the crowd into the cave.

Before him were seven Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors; opposing them would be unwise.

His goal was the Silver Luo Blood Essence; there was no need for pointless conflict.

Of course, he remembered this grudge.

Wu Jiang approached and said in surprise, "Brother Ye, are you alright? Just now, I thought you were done for. Hey, your strength is impressive; my judgment was right."

Wu Jiang was somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan's strength, but his implication was that he himself could also have blocked that strike.

Ye Yuan understood clearly; this Wu Jiang was clearly no ordinary Heavenly Venerable.

Entering the cave, before them was a sea of blood—a huge underground cavern.

Along the way, there were blood pits of various sizes, filled with crimson blood that occasionally bubbled.

"Don't touch those bubbles. Once they touch you, even a Heavenly Venerable will have their soul scattered!" Wu Jiang warned.

Ye Yuan was slightly startled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Besides that, Ye Yuan noticed that the space here was extremely distorted; ordinary Heavenly Venerables could not traverse space.

This Asura Blood Pool was like a huge spatial cage, trapping everyone here.

And the deeper they went, the more terrifying the spatial distortion became.

Even a Heavenly Emperor could not escape.

Of course, for Ye Yuan, this was nothing.

His mastery of spatial laws was far beyond that of ordinary Heavenly Venerables.

This group was extremely powerful and encountered no danger initially.

But soon, trouble arose!

"Ah!"

A scream rang out; a Second Heaven Heavenly Venerable of the Ghost Dao was directly sucked into a blood pool and vanished.

At this, all the Heavenly Venerables' hair stood on end.

They hadn't even seen the enemy, and the Heavenly Venerable was gone.

Ye Yuan's gaze darkened and he said to Mad Blade Ghost Venerable, "Mad Blade, stay close and don't get separated."
