Chapter 925: An Unexpected Encounter

After the initial shock, beneath You Sha's mask lay boundless greed!

Faced with a treasure like the Haotian Tower, no one could remain unmoved.

Even the Ten Great Divine Kings wielded weapons that were at most top-grade saint artifacts. Quasi-divine artifacts had not appeared in the past hundred thousand years.

Now that a quasi-divine artifact had appeared, You Sha's excitement was palpable.

"No wonder you're so confident—you have a quasi-divine artifact as your trump card! But... such a treasure in your hands is a sheer waste!"

With these words, You Sha vanished abruptly, and an endless killing intent enveloped Ye Yuan.

This was one of the reasons Ye Yuan was reluctant to act—the appearance of a quasi-divine artifact was too conspicuous and would inevitably cause a stir.

Upon seeing the Haotian Tower, You Sha did not retreat in the face of difficulty; instead, greed arose in his heart, and he wanted to claim it for himself.

Ye Yuan sneered and directly entered the Haotian Tower.

With Long Teng in control, he was not worried that You Sha could do anything to him.

"Boom, rumble..."

Violent attacks rained down on the Haotian Tower from every angle without any blind spots. However, under the divine might of the quasi-divine artifact, You Sha's attacks seemed somewhat feeble.

You Sha exhausted all his skills but could not breach the Haotian Tower's defense.

Although You Sha had absorbed a vast amount of killing intent, under Long Teng's control, the Haotian Tower possessed strength nearly comparable to a Divine King. It was impossible for You Sha to break through its defense.

"You Sha, first courtesy then force. It seems you don't appreciate the kindness shown to you!"

Inside the Haotian Tower, Ye Yuan snorted coldly.

Suddenly, the Haotian Tower blazed with light, its body expanding like a great mountain, pressing down toward You Sha.

A mountain range, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!

Seeing this, You Sha's expression changed drastically, and he tried to break free from the Haotian Tower's suppression!

However, the might of the Haotian Tower was not so easily shaken off.

He exerted all his strength and barely managed to escape the tower's suppression. Even so, the immense impact left him severely injured!

"You're asking for trouble! I told you, you can't keep me here. Now, each of us holds a secret of the other's—we're even. So, can I leave now?" Ye Yuan appeared and said calmly.

"Crack!"

Under that crushing blow, You Sha's mask split in two and fell off.

"Hm?"

A handsome face was revealed before Ye Yuan—a face that seemed somehow familiar.

Seeing You Sha's true appearance, Ye Yuan frowned.

"Leave? It's not that easy! My original body already knows you possess a quasi-divine artifact. Escaping from this Heavenly Execution Pit is probably impossible now!" You Sha said calmly.

Ye Yuan seemed not to hear these words at all. His attention was entirely fixed on that face.

Few things could shock Ye Yuan so deeply. But this face truly stunned him!

He looked at You Sha, his expression extremely complex.

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "I never expected this! I never expected this! This damned heaven really loves to toy with people!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's reaction, You Sha was utterly bewildered.

"Leave the quasi-divine artifact, and perhaps... the original will grant you a chance to live!" You Sha warned.

Ye Yuan looked at You Sha's face, feeling lost, and said, "It seems you have no consciousness of your own anymore! That's right, you've become a clone of Sikong Shang; how could you possibly have your own consciousness?"

You Sha said, puzzled, "What are you talking about? Do you think that will make the original spare you?"

Ye Yuan said nothing, raised his hand, and executed an extremely orthodox Qinggang Ziyang Sword Technique!

Seeing this, You Sha sneered, "A martial technique driven by mere true intent—are you insulting me?"

You Sha waved his hand casually, instantly nullifying Ye Yuan's attack.

Ye Yuan did not look surprised, but instead sighed, "It seems you really have no memory at all! You Wuyan, oh You Wuyan! To think you were a genius of your time, only to end up like this! Sikong Shang, it seems our feud is truly set!"

By the end, Ye Yuan's killing intent was fully exposed!

Indeed, the You Sha Sovereign before him was none other than You Wuyan, the founder of the Youyun Sect!

Ye Yuan had always found it strange why such a brilliant figure had remained obscure after arriving in the Divine Realm.

He never imagined that You Wuyan had fallen in the Shura Field and become a mere clone of the Dark Divine King, Sikong Shang!

What a coincidence—Ye Yuan never expected that after ascending, You Wuyan had come to the Shura Field and become its Sovereign.

Back then, the Youyun Sect had a statue of its founder You Wuyan, and it was the same person as this You Sha Sovereign.

But though the face was the same, the man was no longer that man.

Although Ye Yuan had never met You Wuyan, it was thanks to him that he had comprehended supreme true intent. The two could be said to have a master-disciple relationship.

Moreover, Ye Yuan had deep feelings for the Youyun Sect. Now that You Wuyan had been refined into a puppet, his anger was understandable.

Though the fall of geniuses was common, and You Wuyan was merely the most ordinary member in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan could not accept it happening to someone he cared about.

"Nonsense!" You Sha said, looking baffled.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and sighed, "Let's call it a day for now! But tell Sikong Shang that one day, I will come to settle this account with him!"

With that, Ye Yuan turned and began to walk out.

The current Ye Yuan was far too weak!

Though Ye Yuan could suppress You Sha with the Haotian Tower, he had no chance of victory against the Dark Divine King's true body.

The terror of the Ten Divine Kings could only be understood by those at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm!

Though called Divine Kings, the Ten Divine Kings had long surpassed the realm of Divine Kings!

In the absence of Divine Path powerhouses, the Ten Divine Kings were virtually invincible.

With his current strength, facing any of the Ten Divine Kings meant certain death!

You Sha watched Ye Yuan's retreating figure but did not pursue. He knew that even if he did, he could not stop Ye Yuan.

However, the original was now at a critical juncture. Could he really let Ye Yuan leave with the quasi-divine artifact?

Ye Yuan's vision blurred, and he emerged at the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

Leng Xue, Tian Dang, and Si Yin were all waiting outside.

"Haha, big brother, you're truly amazing..." An Ren's flattery was cut short as he noticed the expression on Ye Yuan's face was off.

At that moment, Ye Yuan's expression was not the usual calm and carefree look, but a face that seemed ready to kill.

An Ren had never seen Ye Yuan like this before.

"Rumble..."

Just then, rolling dark clouds surged from the horizon, and a massive black hand tore through the void, hurtling toward Ye Yuan!
