Chapter 2237: Repaying Deep Affection
Peerless Medicine God · 第2237章 报答厚爱
Inside a huge cavern, dozens of figures flew beneath the dome.
The dome was covered with a dark, oppressive mass that blotted out the sky.
The Ghost Dao Heavenly Venerables were engaged in a bloody battle with a swarm of blood-red bats.
On the other side, the seven Heavenly Emperors were locked in fierce combat with three massive blood-winged bats.
Fortunately, the spatial distortion here was extremely severe, and most of the battle fluctuations were diverted away.
The three blood-winged bat kings were all at the Heavenly Emperor realm, their combat prowess exceedingly fierce. Even with Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor, a Second Heaven Heavenly Emperor, joining the fight, they could not overcome them in a short time.
A blood-red lotus hung inverted from the dome, emitting a heart-stopping fluctuation.
It was actually an eighth-rank spiritual medicine!
From the battlefield came Nine Lives' furious voice.
"These fools can't even handle a bunch of bats! All of them together aren't as good as that kid! A bunch of trash!"
At this moment, he actually found himself missing Ye Yuan.
This group had traveled all the way and soon encountered this blood lotus.
An eighth-rank spiritual medicine naturally stirred the hearts of these Heavenly Emperor experts.
But who would have thought that the blood lotus was guarded by a large group of blood-winged bats, and even three blood-winged bat kings at the Heavenly Emperor realm!
Although the seven Heavenly Emperors joined forces and were nearly overwhelming the blood-winged bats, they couldn't finish them off anytime soon.
The creatures in this blood pool all had their own means against soul bodies.
One of the blood-winged bat kings was already at the peak of the First Heaven of the Heavenly Emperor realm, and with its strange sonic attacks, even Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor found it hard to withstand.
On the other side, the number of blood-winged bats was enormous.
Although most of these blood-winged bats were only at the sixth rank, and the seventh-rank ones were not many, their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
After a bloody battle, both the blood-winged bats and the Ghost Dao Heavenly Venerables suffered heavy losses.
"Damn it, we should have let that kid live a little longer! These fools are utterly useless." Ghost Ruin Heavenly Emperor gritted his teeth.
Only now did they realize the significance of Ye Yuan's existence.
Now, regret was too late.
"Brother Nine Lives, this won't work. How long do you plan to hold back?" Remnant Feather Heavenly Emperor said in a deep voice.
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, I wanted to preserve some strength, but these three are indeed troublesome."
With that, he flicked his fingertip, and a black lantern appeared in his hand.
The black lantern emitted an immensely powerful aura—it was actually a Heavenly Emperor spiritual treasure!
Seeing this, the other Heavenly Emperors were overjoyed.
"Youluo Ghost Lantern!" Ghost Ruin Heavenly Emperor exclaimed in delight.
This Youluo Ghost Lantern was Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's innate Heavenly Venerable spiritual treasure, extremely powerful.
It could be said that with the Youluo Ghost Lantern, Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor was the true Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor!
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor raised his palm, and the Youluo Ghost Lantern emitted dense ghostly aura, causing the temperature in the entire cavern to drop sharply.
"Taotie Ghost Face, devour!"
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's gaze sharpened as he let out a cold shout. A ghostly figure like a giant beast emerged from the Youluo Ghost Lantern.
The ghost face opened its gaping maw and lunged toward the three blood-winged bat kings.
Sensing the terrifying ghost face, the strongest blood-winged bat king's eyes flashed with ferocity.
Suddenly, a burst of blood light flared, and the three blood-winged bat kings opened their huge mouths.
A world-shaking sonic wave rippled outward.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
In the distance, many Ghost Dao experts were caught in the terrifying sonic wave and exploded outright.
The seven Heavenly Emperors' expressions changed drastically, not expecting the blood-winged bat kings to be so powerful.
Without time to think, they unleashed all their trump cards and struck at the blood-winged bat kings.
The battle escalated once again!
The seven Heavenly Emperors, with their numerical advantage, gradually wore down the three blood-winged bat kings until they could no longer hold on.
The seven Heavenly Emperors were elated; their injuries were severe, but obtaining the blood lotus made it all worth it.
"Oh, quite lively here!"
Just then, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
The Heavenly Emperors' gazes sharpened as they looked in shock at the figure that had suddenly appeared.
Who else could it be but Ye Yuan?
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's pupils contracted. "This kid... didn't die? No, how come he has no injuries at all?"
Having been chased by a peak Heavenly Venerable Soul Devourer, Ye Yuan bore not a single wound!
How did this guy manage that?
The seven Heavenly Emperors were all stunned, and because of this, they nearly got killed by the blood-winged bat kings.
They had no time to dwell on it and immediately focused their minds on dealing with the blood-winged bat kings.
In fact, Ye Yuan had arrived long ago and had been hiding in the void, observing the battle between the blood-winged bat kings and the Heavenly Emperors.
Now, with the timing right, Ye Yuan revealed himself.
"How is this possible? Kid, what do you want?" Ghost Ruin Heavenly Emperor exclaimed in fury.
Ye Yuan smiled. "What do I want? To repay the deep affection of you Heavenly Emperors, I naturally have to pick this blood lotus."
With that, Ye Yuan did not hesitate. He took a step and flew straight toward the blood lotus.
The blood-winged bats were numerous. Seeing Ye Yuan charging over, several Heavenly Venerable-level blood-winged bats immediately rushed to block him.
But wherever Ye Yuan's sword light passed, these blood-winged bats were no match for even a single blow!
His combat prowess surpassed that of all these Ghost Venerables combined!
However, as soon as he joined the fray, even more blood-winged bats came to surround him.
Ye Yuan fought with his sword, as if entering an unguarded territory.
No one noticed that while slaying the blood-winged bats, Ye Yuan was quietly setting up a formation on the dome.
On the other side, the Heavenly Emperors were both shocked and enraged at the sight.
They cursed and shouted, but Ye Yuan ignored them completely, getting closer and closer to the blood lotus.
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's gaze sharpened. Suddenly, he slapped the Youluo Ghost Lantern.
A dense black mist surged out, enveloping his entire body.
"Vajra Ghost Body! Explode!"
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor seemed to don a suit of armor, his combat power suddenly skyrocketing.
The three blood-winged bat kings were already spent forces; how could they withstand the Second Heaven Heavenly Emperor Nine Lives going berserk again?
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the space in the entire cavern even further.
The three blood-winged bat kings were finally killed by Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor.
By this time, Ye Yuan had already fought his way near the blood lotus.
Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's gaze was icy cold as he sneered, "There are roads in heaven you refuse to take; there are no gates in hell you insist on barging in! Since you seek death, I'll send you on your way!"
Ghost Ruin Heavenly Emperor also sneered, "Kid, you escaped death once, yet you dare come to die again! This time, let's see where you can hide! Kill!"
A mere Heavenly Venerable dared to covet the treasure they had fought so hard to obtain.
The seven Heavenly Emperors were furious and joined forces to attack.
Seven Heavenly Emperors—how terrifying was their momentum?
The other Ghost Dao experts, seeing this, turned pale.
And at that moment, a strange smile suddenly flickered across Ye Yuan's lips.
Seeing that smile, Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's hair stood on end.
