Chapter 2657: The Change of the Blue Sea Divine Conch!

"Hey, a Hongmeng ultimate treasure—I can't even imagine its power. Returning it to you now would be like handing my life over, wouldn't it?" Ye Yuan shook his head.

He had bargained for ten days, actually to give Tiannan City time to muster troops.

If he returned the Blue Sea Divine Conch and the other side went back on their word, a great battle would be hard to avoid.

The Dragon Prince frowned and said, "Regardless, we cannot agree to your terms."

Ye Yuan sneered, "It seems your goal is more than just the Blue Sea Divine Conch! Since that's the case, there's no choice—let's settle this with strength!"

With that, Ye Yuan stomped his foot, and the power of a great formation suddenly radiated outward.

Seeing this, the sea tribesmen's faces changed drastically, and they fled like mad.

Even the Dragon Prince's face turned slightly pale.

He was only at the无极天 rank and couldn't withstand Ye Yuan's poison!

"You're ruthless. We'll withdraw! But you must make a soul contract with me—if either side breaks it, may heaven and earth destroy them!" said the Dragon Prince.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "So be it!"

...

The torrential rain gradually stopped, and the tide receded.

On the city wall, everyone watched the sea tribesmen retreat with the waves, feeling as if they had dreamed.

Huang Haoyan, standing beside Ye Yuan, still couldn't wrap his head around it, dazed and confused.

He had actually returned alive!

This outcome was something he had never expected.

Su Peiyun saw him and threw herself into his arms.

"Pei... Peiyun, am I still alive? Am I dreaming?" Huang Haoyan asked in disbelief.

Su Peiyun's pearly tears fell, and she laughed through her tears, "You're alive! You're not dreaming! Master Ye saved you!"

"Right, right, Master Ye! It's Master Ye!"

Huang Haoyan suddenly snapped awake and knelt directly before Ye Yuan, saying, "Thank you, Master Ye, for saving my life!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back and rest. Take this Tianning Pill and refine it well."

Such a grand spectacle had greatly impacted Huang Haoyan's mind.

Now he was unsettled, which would greatly affect his cultivation; he needed to adjust.

The Tianning Pill was an excellent heavenly pill for calming the mind, at the ninth-grade peak level, and would naturally help Huang Haoyan stabilize his mind.

Huang Haoyan took the Tianning Pill, overwhelmed with gratitude, and left with endless thanks.

"Master Ye's methods are truly astonishing! You saved not just Huang Haoyan, but all the people of these nine cities! On their behalf, Cui thanks you for your great kindness!"

Cui Tong bowed deeply to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Now, you're not planning to arrest me?"

Cui Tong's old face flushed red, and he said shamefacedly, "Master Ye, please don't take offense! It's just..."

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said calmly, "Your little schemes can't hide from me. Rest assured, I will leave my legacy in the Tiannan region. But that's my business, not yours. Understand?"

Cui Tong and the others were overjoyed and quickly said, "Cui understands! Understands!"

At that moment, Cui Tong realized how ridiculous his earlier thoughts had been.

Even the Black Shark General couldn't keep Ye Yuan; how could the three of them, mid-level Jade Emperor Heaven cultivators, detain him?

Cui Tong couldn't help but feel grateful that they hadn't acted.

Otherwise, Ye Yuan would never leave his legacy.

Cui Tong's eyes rolled, and he said, "Master Ye, since you have such formidable poisoning skills, can we wipe out the sea tribes in ten days?"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and laughed, "Elder Cui, you're overthinking it! The sea tribes have billions of creatures. No matter how potent my poison, I can't kill them all!"

Ye Yuan naturally knew what Cui Tong was thinking—he wanted to exterminate the sea tribes of Jihan to eliminate future trouble.

But he had only been bluffing earlier.

No matter how powerful the poison, it couldn't kill all the sea tribe true spirits in an entire sea region.

Cui Tong's mouth fell open, and he said in shock, "You... you were deceiving them?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My poison formation is most powerful within ten li. Beyond ten li, I can't reach! The Black Shark General is quite strong. If we really fought, do you think I'd have a chance to poison all the sea tribes? Exterminating the entire sea tribe—not even a Saint Emperor Heaven could do that, let alone me!"

"This... this..."

"Master Ye, you're playing with fire!"

"Master Ye, if you were found out, you'd be dead without a burial place! You're incredibly bold!"

...

The city lords present were all stunned dumbfounded.

Ye Yuan had fooled not only the Dragon Prince but also all the experts in the city!

Ye Yuan chuckled lightly, "This matter seems dangerous, but it's actually very safe. Anyone who saw me instantly kill sea tribesmen within ten li would be shaken. As long as they were wary, I was naturally safe. At least, you all thought I could kill all the sea tribesmen, didn't you?"

Cui Tong and the others were taken aback, unable to find a rebuttal.

Indeed!

The impact of that scene was too intense.

Even a peak Jade Emperor Heaven expert couldn't instantly kill all the strong ones within ten li!

But Ye Yuan had done it!

Since he had done it, the psychological suggestion was very strong.

The sea tribes also feared death, especially the royal clan.

Thus, this operation seemed dangerous but was actually very safe.

When Cui Tong and the others looked at Ye Yuan again, their eyes were filled with awe.

This young man was not only peerless in alchemy and martial arts but also bold and meticulous, with a thorough grasp of the entire situation.

Having a ravine in his chest and a universe in his belly—this description fit Ye Yuan perfectly.

Such a person was simply monstrous!

...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The sea tribe army had retreated, and the ocean had turned back into land.

During the ten days, Tiannan City had also completed the assembly of troops and arrived at Dingnan City.

The commander of the Tiannan army was Ning Guangcheng, the deputy city lord of Tiannan City.

Ye Yuan paid no attention to the changes outside.

During these ten days, he had been in seclusion.

After a series of battles and with the help of heavenly pills, Ye Yuan's strength had reached the peak of mid-level Great Extreme Heaven.

These ten days, he was breaking through to upper-level Great Extreme Heaven.

In the secret chamber, circles of light suddenly lit up.

Ye Yuan felt as if his blood was burning.

"Hmm? This is..."

Ye Yuan looked at the Blue Sea Divine Conch before him, a look of surprise on his face.

Since the battle outside the city, the Blue Sea Divine Conch had been temporarily kept by Ye Yuan.

He had never been able to see through this thing; it didn't seem like a Hongmeng ultimate treasure at all.

Otherwise, even if he didn't recognize a Hongmeng ultimate treasure, he wouldn't have failed to identify it.

This conch was too ordinary.

But today, it had actually fluctuated.

And its fluctuation was affecting him!

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he quickly steadied his mind.

In the secret chamber, spiritual energy suddenly gathered.

In almost an instant, Ye Yuan broke through the bottleneck and reached upper-level Great Extreme Heaven!

And this was not the end!

Under the influence of the Blue Sea Divine Conch, the blood in Ye Yuan's body burned wildly.

His realm soared toward the Great Extreme Heaven Great Perfection!

"Hehe, how interesting! I didn't expect to meet someone of the same lineage!" Suddenly, a silvery laugh sounded in the secret chamber.
