Chapter 2740: The Saint Venerables Thoroughly Screwed!

In the dense forest, dust flew everywhere, and chaos had long since erupted.

Dao Yun Saint Venerable and the others were being chased all over the place.

Roar!

A huge roar rang out, and Dao Yun Saint Venerable was sent flying by an Iron Li Beast.

“Bastard! I won’t let you off!” Dao Yun roared.

At that moment, the Iron Li Beast’s gaze locked onto another person.

That person was merely a mid-level Jade Emperor Heaven, inconspicuous among the crowd.

Now, his face turned extremely ugly, and he cursed, “Damn it! That bastard kid—I’ve been keeping a low profile, but he still has to force me out?”

As he spoke, his strength suddenly surged, directly reaching the peak of lower-level Saint Emperor Heaven!

And his appearance also changed dramatically.

Seeing this, Dao Yun couldn’t help but rage, “You fucking Cang Jie, you’ve been hiding deep!”

Cang Jie Saint Venerable said irritably, “You’re the fucking one! Your whole family is fucking! You couldn’t stand the loneliness and had to expose yourself—what the hell does that have to do with me?”

Dao Yun Saint Venerable’s face darkened, and he said in a low voice, “Stop fucking talking! Let’s join forces and kill this thing! Although this Iron Li Beast is only at the peak of lower-level Saint Emperor Heaven, its strength is too great—I can’t handle it alone!”

Cang Jie Saint Venerable said, “Fuck! Then why are you standing there like an idiot? Why not make a move?”

The two Saint Venerables were also pushed to the brink, every sentence laced with profanity.

Ye Yuan releasing these Saint Venerable True Spirits had completely disrupted everyone’s plans.

Someone like Cang Jie Saint Venerable hadn’t even revealed himself when he saw those celestial medicines, but now, being chased, he had no choice but to expose his strength.

The other five hidden Saint Venerables were in the same boat.

If they held back any longer, it would cost them their lives.

They had refused to act all along, waiting for the moment of true great fortune to strike suddenly.

But now, they were forced to reveal themselves.

These Saint Venerables all wanted to kill Ye Yuan.

However, they had to face these Saint Venerable True Spirits first.

Fortunately, they fled in time, and these True Spirits had little intelligence, so they managed to survive.

Otherwise, if they were caught up by those mid-level or even upper-level Saint Emperor Heavens, it would be almost certain death.

As for the main force, they had long been scattered, each fleeing for their lives.

At this moment, atop a mountain ridge, Dahuang’s aura was soaring wildly.

Earlier, Ye Yuan had snatched the Heavenly Burial Purple Ling Flower from Shi Yue, but the other two main ingredients were still missing.

Unexpectedly, they were all gathered here.

So, without any delay, he directly refined a genuine Heavenly Emperor Pill for Dahuang.

Watching Dahuang break through, Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said, “I didn’t expect that one Heavenly Emperor Pill wouldn’t be enough to elevate him to mid-level Saint Emperor Heaven! The gap between each realm in Saint Emperor Heaven is truly vast!”

“Heavenly realm experts, before Saint Emperor Heaven, are all about solidifying the foundation! Only by stepping into Saint Emperor Heaven can one be considered truly initiated! After Saint Emperor Heaven, every step is extremely difficult. Even a genuine celestial pill cannot let him ascend to heaven in one step! Of course, if you could refine a fifth-grade Heavenly Emperor Pill, the effect would be a different story,” Mi Tian said.

Ye Yuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. A fifth-grade Heavenly Emperor Pill—how easy was that to refine?

The higher the grade of the Heavenly Emperor Pill, the more difficult it became.

Moreover, the gap between a fourth-grade celestial pill and a fifth-grade celestial pill was as vast as that between Jade Emperor Heaven and Saint Emperor Heaven.

On the Dao of alchemy, this was also a major watershed.

Because the Dao rules contained within a fifth-grade celestial herb were extremely complex.

Otherwise, how could it be called fifth-grade?

Although Ye Yuan was confident, he also knew that taking this step would not be easy.

Of course, the most important thing was to have fifth-grade celestial herbs to practice on.

However, fifth-grade celestial herbs were too precious, and Ye Yuan could not practice on a large scale.

He had indeed collected many fifth-grade celestial herbs before, but these herbs were of extremely high quality and not suitable for laying a foundation.

Even the celestial herbs needed for a fifth-grade foundation-building celestial pill were extremely precious on the Yuqing Continent.

Thinking about it, staying on the Yuqing Continent seemed to offer limited prospects.

Once he settled the grudge with Wuding Heavenly Sect, it would be time for Ye Yuan to leave the Yuqing Continent.

Dahuang's realm ultimately stopped at the mid-stage of Lower Saint Emperor Heaven.

Ye Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this result, but Dahuang was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Ye Yuan profusely.

Indeed, following Master Ye out was the wisest choice.

When he returned this time, Bull Demon Saint Sovereign would surely be astonished to see him.

At that time, he wondered if Bull Demon would lay down his pride and become Master Ye's mount.

...

Half a month later, before a magnificent hall, thirteen Saint Emperor Heaven experts stood, each looking miserable, like beggars.

"Damn Ye Yuan, he really screwed me over! To shake off the Tieli Beast, I ate my treasured fifth-grade celestial pill!" Dao Yun Saint Sovereign gnashed his teeth in hatred.

A fifth-grade celestial pill was not a common cabbage to them.

For Saint Emperor Heaven experts, any fifth-grade celestial pill was their lifeline.

But now, his lifeline was gone—how could Dao Yun Saint Sovereign not be furious?

Tian Lu Saint Sovereign also gnashed his teeth: "Be content! I've hoarded fifth-grade celestial pills for thousands of years, and this time I've used them all up! If I don't get any benefits from the Lost Spirit Palace, this trip will be a total loss! That bastard really knows how to screw people over! Not only did he take enough benefits for himself, but he also screwed us over!"

"Damn it, you two should be content! I was chased by seven Saint Sovereign True Spirits, including one at Upper Saint Emperor Heaven! Not only did I use up all my celestial pills, but I was also severely beaten! Now I can only exert the strength of a Lower Saint Emperor Heaven!"

The speaker was Ji Yu Saint Sovereign, a Middle Saint Emperor Heaven with extraordinary strength.

But he was unlucky—targeted by an Upper Saint Emperor Heaven True Spirit, chased all the way, nearly dying several times.

Fortunately, those True Spirits had low intelligence, or he would have died long ago.

Even so, he was severely injured, losing thirty percent of his strength!

Now he could only exert the strength of a Lower Saint Emperor Heaven, with no one to complain to.

The other Saint Sovereigns all looked grim.

Before the mountain gate, besides these Saint Sovereigns, many Jade Emperor Heaven and half-step Saint Emperor Heaven experts had also arrived.

However, the original group of four to five hundred Jade Emperor Heaven experts had now dwindled to less than two hundred!

The Jade Emperor Heaven experts had truly suffered heavy losses.

But among them, one person was full of energy and high spirits.

By his side, he actually had a Saint Sovereign True Spirit!

This Saint Sovereign True Spirit was one of those that had been chasing them earlier.

"Tsk tsk, speaking of it, I really have to thank Ye Yuan! Without him, I wouldn't have been able to subdue a Saint Sovereign True Spirit! Tsk tsk, that guy tricked me badly with Dahuang, but now this is compensation!"

This person was none other than Wufang Daoist!
