Chapter 2495: Who Is Number One!

“Ah!”

A miserable cry, Zhang Zhen fell to the ground.

From start to finish, Ye Yuan had not once raised his head.

To deal with someone of Zhang Zhen's strength, a single sword qi was enough.

He was only a foot away from the Water Source Crystal.

So close, yet so far!

Zhang Zhen looked at the Water Source Crystal before him, still crawling forward desperately.

He stretched out his severed arm, trying to grasp the Water Source Crystal.

Just then, another flash of cold light streaked past.

His arms were gone instantly.

From afar came Ye Yuan's icy voice: “Men die for wealth, birds die for food! But one must have a bottom line! Yesterday's cause, today's effect. Everything is your own doing!”

Pang Zhen, seeing this, laughed wildly: “Hahaha... Zhang Zhen, you've finally gotten what you deserve! How satisfying! How satisfying!”

Zhang Zhen was very clever; over the years, he had not deliberately ingratiated himself with Pang Zhen.

But some things, he always did casually.

And coincidentally, let Pang Zhen see or know about them.

Over time, Pang Zhen became deeply convinced of Zhang Zhen's character.

So along the way, he never had the slightest suspicion of Zhang Zhen.

But in the end, he was still sold out by Zhang Zhen!

He had gone through countless near-death experiences to obtain the Tears of Life.

But in the end, it benefited Lin Chaotian!

This pent-up fury almost drove him mad.

Now, finally having vented his anger, how could he not be happy?

Wan Zhen snorted coldly: “Just now, you probably never imagined you'd end up like this, did you? Serves you right!”

The sword qi entered his body through his wounds, causing him unbearable pain.

Despair!

The gap between him and Ye Yuan was too great!

He also understood that Ye Yuan was doing it deliberately.

Seeing but not obtaining!

Nothing was more despairing than this.

He was only one step away from becoming a Dao Ancestor.

But he would never become a Dao Ancestor!

Ye Yuan reached out with a wave, and the Rule Crystal flew into his hand.

Zhang Zhen could only watch helplessly, powerless.

Having done this, Ye Yuan ignored him and focused on treating Pang Zhen and the others.

Zhang Zhen lay on the ground, not daring to move.

Ye Yuan's suggestion was too terrifying; he had no chance of escape.

At this moment, his heart was filled with extreme fear; waiting for death was not a pleasant feeling.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Wood Spirit Divine Origin in the three was gradually forced out of their bodies by Ye Yuan.

The injuries of the three also slowly recovered.

Pang Zhen's severed limb also slowly grew back under Ye Yuan's treatment.

“Sir, Lin Chaotian has obtained the Fire Source Crystal and will definitely refine it as soon as possible. Once he refines the Fire Source Crystal, his strength will increase greatly,” Pang Zhen said worriedly.

Ye Yuan was unconcerned and said calmly: “His appetite is big, but he has to be able to swallow it. The accounts between him and me should be settled. The three of you guard me; I will go into seclusion here.”

“Seclusion?”

The three were stunned.

Others come to Tongtian Mountain to compete for the position of Dao Ancestor.

But Ye Yuan, on the contrary, came to the mountain to go into seclusion and cultivate.

Was he going to compete with the Dao Ancestor in cultivation speed?

After all, refining the Rule Crystal did not take long; at most a month to fully digest it.

If Ye Yuan went into seclusion now, could he surpass Lin Chaotian within a month?

After Lin Chaotian refined the Fire Source Crystal, his strength would not be a simple one-plus-one-equals-two.

The power of combining Wood and Fire rules was truly terrifying.

Even if Ye Yuan went into seclusion and broke through now, could he surpass Lin Chaotian, who possessed two major rules?

Regarding Ye Yuan's choice, they were all somewhat baffled.

Now, the most critical thing should be to catch up with Lin Chaotian and prevent him from refining the Rule Crystal.

However, Ye Yuan's authority was already deeply ingrained; naturally, they would not oppose his decision.

If Ye Yuan asked them to guard, then guard they would.

“Sir, what about this fellow?” Pang Zhen pointed at Zhang Zhen and said.

“I leave him to you,” Ye Yuan said calmly.

Ye Yuan knew that the one who hated Zhang Zhen the most was Pang Zhen.

He naturally wanted to leave this chance for revenge to Pang Zhen.

Sure enough, Pang Zhen cracked his knuckles and looked at Zhang Zhen with ill intent.

He had been holding back this anger until now.

After giving these instructions, Ye Yuan ignored them and began to cultivate on his own.

His sword qi had already penetrated the body, destroying Zhang Zhen's vitality.

With the strength of these three, naturally, they would not let him escape.

Ye Yuan's realm had reached its limit; he could not break through further.

What he needed to break through was naturally his comprehension of laws.

Of the two major laws, time and space, Ye Yuan's time law had stagnated, while his space law was growing stronger.

Before entering Tongtian Mountain, his space law had actually reached the fifth level of the origin stage.

After entering Tongtian Mountain, the space law here was almost the supreme law of the Tongtian Realm.

Here, even Dao Ancestors could not teleport, showing how powerful the space rules were.

Along Ye Yuan's journey, the space rules here had greatly inspired him.

What he needed to do now was to consolidate all these inspirations and then break through.

The realm of rules was not far off.

…

At the end of the path was a deep tunnel.

Seeing this tunnel, Lin Chaotian was overjoyed.

Outside this tunnel, one could not refine the Rule Crystal.

To become a Dao Ancestor and refine the Rule Crystal, one had to enter this tunnel.

And now, he was only one step away from becoming a Dao Ancestor for the second time.

He believed that once he became a Dao Ancestor again, his strength would definitely not be inferior to Ye Yuan's.

Even if Ye Yuan could truly break the shackles, he would not be weaker than Ye Yuan.

Because his strength was heaven-given.

With this thought, he gripped the Fire Source Crystal in his hand even tighter.

“Ye Yuan, you can never imagine how powerful I will be with two major rules! No matter how strong your talent is, heaven is an obstacle you can never overcome.”

Laughing loudly, Lin Chaotian entered the tunnel.

Day by day passed, and Lin Chaotian's aura grew with each passing day.

A month later, Lin Chaotian's momentum soared into the sky.

The terrifying power of fire made him look like a deity.

“Hahaha... I have transformed from the Life Dao Ancestor into the Fire Spirit Dao Ancestor, probably the first person in eons! Ye Yuan, let me see how strong you are, and whether your divine soul can withstand my attack!”

Lin Chaotian was now extremely arrogant; he felt immensely powerful.

Ye Yuan's previous strangeness was insignificant in the face of his power!

With two major rules upon him and the position of Dao Ancestor descending, he had become the number one person in the world!

But he did not know that at this moment, Ye Yuan's space law descended, making him ethereal beyond measure.
