Chapter 2254: Growing Stronger Through Battle!

Ye Yuan killed a Heavenly Emperor with a flick of his finger, but those Heavenly Emperors naturally would not take it lying down.

Looking down from above, they were already thoroughly familiar with the restrictions behind them, and each tried to trigger them.

However, Ye Yuan moved among the restrictions as if in his own backyard.

He struck out with dazzling speed, hitting the nodes of the surrounding restrictions and annihilating all the attacks.

Then, with a series of flicks, he killed another Heavenly Emperor.

This was a contest of restrictions, not of cultivation, but of understanding of restrictions.

Clearly, Ye Yuan's understanding of the restrictions here far surpassed that of these Heavenly Emperors!

"Go after the two behind him!"

In the chaos, someone shouted, and the others immediately caught on, sending their attacks toward Jiang Ci and Kuang Dao.

Ye Yuan's gaze darkened, and his speed increased, blocking the attacks of over a dozen Heavenly Emperors without a single gap!

Seeing this, Tianyan's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "How is this possible? Has this kid been to Eight Void Mountain before? His understanding of the restrictions here has reached an incredible level!"

Shui Yuan and the others were also stunned. Ye Yuan, a mere Revered Elder, had perfectly defended against the attacks of over a dozen Eight-Star Array Gods.

"Brother Tianyan! It seems only you can deal with him personally!" said Shui Yuan Heavenly Emperor.

Tianyan Heavenly Emperor's face darkened. "If I can get within ten zhang of him, he will surely die!"

With that, the three of them ascended the steps.

With Tianyan Heavenly Emperor, a super-strong expert, leading the way, they moved quickly, closing the distance to Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan, hindered by the many Heavenly Emperors, slowed down considerably.

Of course, the main reason was that he had to protect Jiang Ci and Kuang Dao.

Jiang Ci's expression was extremely grim. As a super-strong expert at the Ninth Heaven of Heavenly Emperor, he had now become a burden to others.

Seeing Tianyan and the others getting closer from behind, he grew more anxious.

"Young friend Ye, thank you for your protection along the way! It seems this Boundless God-Slaying Bow is not meant for me. Take it and continue forward; don't worry about me!" Jiang Ci said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Ci had reached his current realm and lived for eons, experiencing countless deceptions and intrigues.

But he had never met someone as righteous as Ye Yuan in his life.

In his current state, he certainly could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation of Decline.

Dying early or late made little difference now.

Rather than being a burden to Ye Yuan, he would rather die.

"Shut up! These pieces of trash can't stop me! A grown man acting like a woman, seeking death—aren't you ashamed? Don't worry, when I can't hold on, I'll throw you out!" Ye Yuan struck like lightning and shouted coldly.

Just then, Ye Yuan shot out a few more beams of light and blew up another Heavenly Emperor, startling Jiang Ci.

This guy was truly strong!

Dealing with these Eight-Star Array Gods was like chopping vegetables.

If not for the overwhelming numbers, Ye Yuan would have charged ahead long ago.

Jiang Ci looked back and gasped.

Tianyan and the other two were ascending quickly, now only about fifty zhang away.

"Whoever kills this kid, I will reward them with a Heavenly Emperor Divine Artifact and three Carefree Heavenly Laugh Pills!"

Just then, Tianyan suddenly roared again, his voice clear throughout Eight Void Mountain.

The Carefree Heavenly Laugh Pill was an eighth-grade elixir, priceless!

Now, even more Heavenly Emperors were tempted.

Heavenly Emperor experts swarmed in from all sides, almost completely blocking the upward path.

Jiang Ci's face changed drastically. "This bastard is shameless! Young friend Ye, are you... are you sure you're okay? Huh? Young friend Ye?"

He realized that Ye Yuan was ignoring him.

More and more attacks came, countless beams of light raining down like raindrops, making Jiang Ci's scalp tingle.

Seeing this, Tianyan's eyes showed a smug smile.

Shui Yuan even gave a thumbs up and said smugly, "Brother Tianyan is truly brilliant! This move will be the death of this kid!"

Gu Hun, usually taciturn, now also smiled and said, "Inviting Brother Tianyan this time has been a great help!"

Tianyan said smugly, "This kid is meticulous and indeed extremely skilled in formations. Eight Void Mountain was indeed his best choice. Unfortunately... he met me! Heh, trying to play tricks in front of me—this Eight Void Mountain will be his burial ground!"

Pfft!

Before he finished speaking, another Heavenly Emperor was killed!

Pfft! Pfft!

This time, two!

After a moment, Ye Yuan flicked his fingers repeatedly and directly killed three Heavenly Emperors!

Ye Yuan's movements grew faster and more precise.

Before long, over a dozen Heavenly Emperor experts were slaughtered by him!

Then, many more Heavenly Emperors surrounded him.

And Ye Yuan's killing speed increased!

By the end, no one dared to come forward!

Beside Ye Yuan, Jiang Ci's eyes were nearly popping out.

What happened?

He was being suppressed just a moment ago, and now he suddenly burst out?

Tianyan and the other two had been smug, but now they were speechless.

"Th-this... what's going on?" Shui Yuan stared in shock.

Tianyan's gaze sharpened as he looked at Ye Yuan, then gasped.

"This kid... is comprehending the array! Along the way, his array dao strength has grown stronger! He was surrounded earlier because he wanted to use these people to understand the array! Now... he has comprehended it!" Tianyan's eyes widened in shock.

Beside him, Shui Yuan and the others were dumbfounded.

"This kid's comprehension is too monstrous!" Gu Hun couldn't help but complain.

Tianyan shook his head. "This kid has already forged his own path in array dao! His understanding of array dao has reached the essence! The arrays of Eight Void Mountain are a great treasure trove for array dao experts, depending on whether you have the ability to mine it! This kid has definitely never been to Eight Void Mountain before, so the restrictions here have greatly inspired him, allowing his strength to make a qualitative leap in a short time! Tsk... what a terrifying kid!"

Tianyan's analysis was very close to the truth.

In fact, Ye Yuan had been comprehending the array all along the way!

Although he ascended quickly, it was only because the restrictions at the foot of the mountain were too simple; Ye Yuan could quickly dismantle them and make them his own.

It wasn't until Tianyan used the Heavenly Emperor Divine Artifact as bait to attract Eight-Star True Gods to deal with Ye Yuan that Ye Yuan integrated everything he had learned along the way, causing another qualitative leap in his array dao strength.

In truth, Ye Yuan could have rushed up the mountain long ago.

But Ye Yuan was not in a hurry; he wasn't fleeing—he wanted to contend with Tianyan!

However, Tianyan was unaware of these thoughts!
