Chapter 2503: Self-Inflicted Suffering!

"Oh, is that so?"

Facing Lin Chaotian's threat, Ye Yuan was completely unperturbed, instead stepping forward.

Lin Chaotian, his face full of fear, retreated repeatedly, saying, "You... don't come any closer! If you do, I'll really crush it!"

Ye Yuan remained unmoved and continued to advance.

"Lin Chaotian, you've borrowed the Lesser Tongtian Mountain for a long time; it's time to return it to its rightful owner! And this Tear of Life, I'll take it as well!" Ye Yuan said calmly, seemingly unafraid that the Tear of Life would be crushed.

Lin Chaotian kept retreating; he was truly terrified by Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's various uncanny divine abilities left him with no chance to escape.

However, Lin Chaotian was also a ruthless man.

Under Ye Yuan's pressure, Lin Chaotian suddenly laughed loudly, "Is that so? Then if you have the guts, try taking the Tear of Life from my hand!"

With that, Lin Chaotian gritted his teeth and exerted force in his hand, about to crush the Tear of Life.

Just then, Ye Yuan calmly uttered a single word.

"Freeze!"

Lin Chaotian's body suddenly froze in place.

He struggled with all his might, even using both of his laws.

But everything seemed to have come to a standstill!

The power of his laws could not reach his hand at all.

All his strength seemed to be bound.

"Words of the Heavenly Dao! He... his Time Law has also reached the realm of rules?" Tian Qing was dumbfounded, feeling as if all his understanding had been overturned.

Within a month, Ye Yuan had broken through to the realm of rules for both supreme laws?

He was speechless!

In his view, Yue Mengli should be an unprecedented genius.

But compared to Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli was nothing!

This move, "Time-Space Freeze," Ye Yuan had not used for a long time.

Not that he didn't want to, but his opponents were too powerful, and this move could no longer be of much use.

Although innate divine abilities were powerful, it also depended on who the opponent was.

With Ye Yuan's previous strength, going against a Dao Ancestor would be like courting disaster.

Under the power of the rules, not only would he fail to succeed, but he would even suffer backlash.

But now, it was different!

His laws of time and space had both reached the realm of rules.

His physical realm had also reached the limit of the Ninth Revolution!

Under these circumstances, unless the Dao Ancestor surpassed himself,

otherwise, he could not break free from his Heavenly Dao True Words!

At least, Lin Chaotian could not!

Swish!

A flash of sword light passed, and Lin Chaotian's arm was severed at the wrist.

Ye Yuan beckoned with his hand, and the Tear of Life flew over.

Holding the Tear of Life, Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "I tried, and it seems... I succeeded!"

The look in Lin Chaotian's eyes shifted from shock to horror, and then to terror.

The laws of time and space!

The three great laws of the Time-Space Sword had all entered the realm of rules!

He finally understood why Ye Yuan had been so calm and composed.

Because he had completely surpassed Shang Heng, the Time-Space Grand Ancestor of that era!

He was the Azure Saint!

He was the number one man through the ages!

He was the true supreme being of the human race!

The supreme being of the human race was never self-proclaimed, but proven by strength!

All the powerful experts present were deeply shocked.

Ye Yuan, with his strength, had amazed three eras!

At the very beginning of this epoch, he had cast down a newly peaked Supreme Dao Ancestor into the dust!

"Who would have thought that this cycle of heaven would yield such an outcome!"

"Lord Azure Saint is now truly the number one man through the ages!"

"Thinking back on it now, Lin Chaotian's previous arrogance was truly laughable to the extreme!"

…

Everyone shook their heads. Lin Chaotian had used his strength to intimidate everyone.

Not long ago, he had been so overbearing and unmatched in his tyranny.

He thought that Ye Yuan was beneath his notice.

The Azure Saint was about to become history.

But now, reality had slapped him hard in the face.

He was nothing before Ye Yuan!

Only then did they understand why Ye Yuan disdained to refine the Rule Crystals.

Because he simply didn't need them!

The fusion of three great laws was indeed astonishing.

But in front of a Dao Ancestor, it counted for little.

Because stepping into the realm of rules with all three was nearly impossible.

Yet Ye Yuan had done it!

Now, he had stepped into the realm of rules with the three paths of time, space, and sword simultaneously!

What was a Dao Ancestor compared to that?

Lin Chaotian finally broke free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao True Words, but his body was drenched in sweat.

The power of three rules rampaged within him.

His severed wrist still bled profusely, impossible to staunch.

He looked at Ye Yuan in terror and said, "You... you're simply not human! How... how did you do it?"

Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian and said calmly, "Lin Chaotian, I won't kill you!"

Hearing this, Lin Chaotian's heart surged with wild joy.

He had never imagined that Ye Yuan would actually let him go!

But Ye Yuan's next words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Today, I will cripple your cultivation! I will suppress you before the boundary stele of the two races, letting you suffer the scorn of all humanity! This disgrace, you wrote yourself, and you shall bear it yourself!"

With that, without waiting for Lin Chaotian to react, Ye Yuan once again invoked the Heavenly Dao True Words.

Lin Chaotian was frozen in place.

Then, Ye Yuan struck his dantian with a palm.

The terrifying power of the laws directly penetrated his divine sea, shattering his small world into pieces.

Ye Yuan struck with extreme severity; Lin Chaotian's small world was utterly destroyed, impossible to regenerate.

Lin Chaotian's eyes were filled with despair. He glared at Ye Yuan and roared, "You... you are a demon! Ye Yuan, even as a ghost, I will not forgive you!"

Ye Yuan curled his lips and said with a faint smile, "That's assuming you can become a ghost! Return!"

He reached out with a gesture, and the Lesser Tongtian Mountain broke free from Lin Chaotian's control, returning to Ye Yuan's hand.

All these years, although the Lesser Tongtian Mountain had been in Lin Chaotian's possession, he had never been able to refine it.

A treasure like the Lesser Tongtian Mountain was not something just anyone could refine.

Ye Yuan had long decided Lin Chaotian's fate.

His sins could not be atoned for by death alone.

Faced with the invasion of the divine race, Lin Chaotian had only thought of his own interests, nearly plunging humanity into an abyss of eternal damnation.

This sin, he had to atone for himself!

At this moment, Lin Chaotian was still a Dao Ancestor, but he no longer had the divine essence to wield the power of rules.

The current Lin Chaotian was like a small child carrying a gold brick through a bustling market.

In the crowd, many eyes had already turned green with greed.

A Dao Ancestor!

Who wouldn't want to become a Dao Ancestor?

But just then, Ye Yuan said calmly, "You may strike him and curse him, but you must not kill him! The Fire Source Crystal, I have other uses for it!"

These words instantly extinguished everyone's fantasies.

Who would dare disobey Ye Yuan's words?

Killing Lin Chaotian was easy, but even if one became the Fire Ancestor, so what?

Ye Yuan could kill him like a dog!

Ye Yuan had reserved the Fire Source Crystal for Xiao Huo.

Since leaving the Tianying Imperial City, Xiao Huo had been in seclusion at some hidden place and had yet to emerge.

But the Fire Source Crystal was naturally most suitable for him.
