Chapter 711: Countermeasure

"Did you hear that? I know you were all top-tier geniuses in the lower realm, with your own pride. But..."

Cheng Jiang deliberately drew out his tone, his face darkening as he said, "Your pride is worthless in the Divine Realm!"

Ye Yuan looked at Cheng Jiang and couldn't help but smile. "Maybe in the eyes of true experts, I really have no capital for pride. But in front of you..."

Ye Yuan didn't finish, but his implication was very clear.

He, Ye Yuan, was proud!

As proud as he was in the lower realm!

Upon hearing Ye Yuan's words, Cheng Jiang did not show a furious expression.

Their purpose here was to make the ascendants obedient, to make them know that after ascending, they should keep a low profile.

Otherwise, if these ascendants were all arrogant to the skies, how could they be managed?

Ye Yuan's reaction was also within Cheng Jiang's expectations. In fact, every ascendant's attitude was more or less the same as Ye Yuan's.

The previous two were like that, and now they were still docile, weren't they?

"Ha, is that so? Then... I'd like to see your arrogance!"

Before Cheng Jiang's words faded, a powerful surge of primal force instantly pressed toward Ye Yuan, directly enveloping him.

The old man and the young man over there couldn't bear to watch.

They had just knelt under Cheng Jiang's move, without even the strength to fight back.

What was infuriating was that both of them were Void Unity realm experts!

Void Unity First Layer against Void Unity First Layer, yet they had no strength to retaliate.

After struggling a little, they dejectedly conceded. That scene just now even made them doubt life.

Had all these years of cultivation gone to waste? Or were the martial artists in the Divine Realm all this powerful?

If they, as Void Unity realm cultivators, were like this, then Ye Yuan, a kid who had just broken through to Divine游 Second Layer, would surely be crushed to death, right?

"Hey, Old Huang, look, something's not right!" the young man suddenly said to the old man.

Old Huang looked toward Ye Yuan and couldn't help but change expression.

"He... how is he completely fine? This... this is wrong!" Old Huang said in surprise.

Over there, Ye Yuan, under Cheng Jiang's forceful pressure, remained calm and composed, as if Cheng Jiang had done nothing.

However, the violent fluctuations of primal force around Ye Yuan clearly told everyone that Cheng Jiang was indeed applying pressure on Ye Yuan.

"Heh, primal force suppression? Is this your show of force? I don't think it's anything special," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

Cheng Jiang's face turned ugly. "You... how is it possible! You're an ascendant, and only at Divine游 Second Layer, yet you can withstand my primal force suppression! I don't believe it!"

Cheng Jiang clearly couldn't accept this fact, so he mobilized all his primal force!

The oppressive pressure of the Void Unity realm pressed toward Ye Yuan from all directions!

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Incorrigible!"

The next moment, Ye Yuan's aura exploded!

A violent burst of primal force erupted, directly pushing back Cheng Jiang's primal force suppression!

Cheng Jiang didn't expect Ye Yuan to have the strength to counterattack; caught off guard, he was pushed back and fell to the ground with a thud.

Ye Yuan sneered inwardly.

He knew Cheng Jiang's methods all too well; it was just taking advantage of having cultivated longer in the Divine Realm.

In terms of true realm comprehension, Cheng Jiang might not even be better than the ascendants.

The so-called primal force suppression was actually because the primal force in the Divine Realm was not only denser but also purer than that in the lower realm.

Thus, martial artists who cultivated in the Divine Realm had primal force many times purer than that of lower realm martial artists!

At the same Void Unity First Layer, Cheng Jiang's primal force was far purer than Old Huang's!

But how could Cheng Jiang have imagined that Ye Yuan cultivated the "Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art," which had shaken the entire Divine Realm!

Even when Ye Yuan cultivated in the lower realm, the primal force he absorbed into his body was refined by the "Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art."

Compared to Cheng Jiang, Ye Yuan's primal force was countless times purer!

So trying to use primal force suppression against Ye Yuan was simply a joke.

Although Ye Yuan couldn't fight across major realms as easily as in the lower realm, dealing with a low-level soldier like Cheng Jiang was still within his ability.

"No way? This... this kid is so strong!" Old Huang exclaimed on the platform.

The young man didn't speak, but his expression was exactly the same as Old Huang's.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiang's elder brother showed a surprised expression.

Over the years, Cheng Jiang had never failed when dealing with ascendants from the lower realm.

Unexpectedly, today he capsized in a ditch.

"Kid, you're asking for death!"

Cheng Jiang hadn't expected to lose face so badly to an ascendant; he flew into a rage and was about to attack.

But before he could move, his elder brother stopped him.

"Cheng Jiang, don't be impulsive!"

With that, he came before Ye Yuan and bowed. "Little brother, your primal force is exceptionally pure. I am Yu Ming. May I ask your name?"

Ye Yuan was no greenhorn who had just ascended; he knew the Divine Realm like the back of his hand.

These two were just soldiers guarding the Ascension Pool, backed by powerful forces that he couldn't afford to offend.

After all, Ye Yuan was still just an ascendant, too weak!

His earlier move against Cheng Jiang was only to give them a show of force, so they wouldn't push him around.

Now that Yu Ming was willing to be friendly, Ye Yuan was naturally happy to oblige.

"You flatter me. I am Ye Yuan."

"So it's Brother Ye. My brother is too rash; I apologize for his offense earlier. But restraining ascendants is also our duty. Brother Ye, please don't mind," Yu Ming said.

Ye Yuan smiled. "Brother Yu is overthinking. Such a small matter isn't worth my concern."

Yu Ming had thought that Ye Yuan, being young and strong, might be hard to deal with, but he turned out to be quite sensible.

And precisely because of this, Yu Ming held Ye Yuan in even higher regard.

This young man would surely become a great figure in the future.

At the very least, he would be someone they brothers would have to look up to.

For someone like this, either eliminate him now or befriend him in advance. At the very least, don't offend him too much.

"Haha, that's good, that's good! Brother Ye's primal force is so pure; you really don't seem like a newly ascended martial artist!" Yu Ming laughed.

"Brother Yu flatters me. It's just that the cultivation technique I practice is somewhat special. If it came to a real fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for Brother Yu," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Yu Ming was much more deep; he wanted to probe Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan cleverly conceded, lightly brushing past the topic.

Moreover, Ye Yuan only said he wasn't a match for Yu Ming, not that he wasn't a match for Cheng Jiang.

Yu Ming's heart tightened slightly, and he dropped the probing intention, laughing heartily. "Brother Ye is too modest!"
