Chapter 936: None Other Than Him!

Ye Yuan frantically expelled his primal force, while the lightning in his hand raged violently, eager to kill him.

But Ye Yuan paid no heed to the lightning's fury. With his left hand, he took out a small dark-green bottle, channeled his primal force, and stuffed the lightning directly into the bottle.

"Hiss... so strong! Who is this? Crossing the Formless Tribulation, how can it have such terrifying power?"

"Did you see that? He just sealed the lightning with his bare hands. This tribulation is like child's play to him!"

"He's crossing a two-colored tribulation, both lightning and soul tribulations together—extremely perilous! But... this kid is too freakish, right?"

Ye Yuan's tribulation crossing at the Yue Clan was immensely powerful, naturally drawing widespread attention.

Especially the scene of him grabbing heavenly lightning with his bare hands left everyone stunned. For a time, Ye Yuan became an idol to many of the Yue Clan's younger generation.

Zhou Yan's face turned ugly at the sight.

He thought that breaking through to Dao Profound and achieving the Emperor Realm would be enough to leave Ye Yuan in the dust. But now it seemed far from easy!

Ye Yuan's breakthrough to the Formless Realm was simply too effortless.

Without immensely formidable strength, who would dare cross tribulation like him?

Though Yue Jianqiu appeared calm, he was equally stunned inside.

He had only heard of Ye Yuan by reputation and had a poor impression of him—a mere native who had used some means to bewitch his daughter. If not for the sake of Soul Martial God King, the Yue Clan would have killed Ye Yuan long ago.

But now, Yue Jianqiu finally realized that Ye Yuan's arrogance was not solely reliant on Zhong Zizhen's fame.

He himself was also immensely powerful.

After the tribulation ended, Ye Yuan strolled down, his entire aura surging significantly.

When he came before the crowd again, he gave an unreal impression.

The Formless Realm: no form, no appearance. One felt as if merging with heaven and earth, a sign of profound comprehension of the Dao.

Yet Ye Yuan's condition was clearly far stronger than that of ordinary newcomers to the Formless Realm.

This showed that Ye Yuan's understanding of the Dao far surpassed that of typical Formless First Layer martial artists!

"Now, I can refine the Soul-Departing Pill!" Ye Yuan said calmly to the crowd.

Zhou Yan's expression changed, then he sneered, "If a Formless initial stage can refine the Soul-Departing Pill, wouldn't those Alchemy Emperors become a joke?"

The difficulty of refining the Soul-Departing Pill had been proven by countless people over the past seven or eight years.

It was only an eighth-grade pill, yet many Alchemy Emperors could not refine it!

Even someone as powerful as Quan Xingzi had failed against this mere eighth-grade pill.

Moreover, the pill formula Ye Yuan gave Yue Mengli was very detailed. He had marked all the points to note when refining the Soul-Departing Pill.

Yet still, no one could refine it.

Ye Yuan was very calm, merely saying lightly, "Before me, they are indeed jokes!"

"What an arrogant youth, utterly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! This Soul-Departing Pill formula came from you, yet even Alchemy Emperors can't refine it. If you, a mere Formless initial stage, can refine it, then perhaps the formula you gave is flawed?" Zhou Qianru suddenly sneered.

At these words, everyone's expression changed. Zhou Qianru's reasoning was plausible, making them unable to help doubting Ye Yuan.

It made no sense that a pill even peak Alchemy Emperors couldn't refine could be refined by a mere Alchemy Venerable initial stage youth, right?

Such a situation was simply unreasonable.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Qianru grew even more smug, sneering at Ye Yuan, "You used a fake pill formula to deceive Li'er for all these years—deserving of death! Or perhaps Li'er's illness wasn't so severe originally, and you did something to worsen it, then offered help to make Li'er devotedly follow you?"

The Yue family's expressions grew uglier, especially Zhou Yan, whose gaze at Ye Yuan was filled with murderous intent.

Setting up a ten-year deception to win Li'er's heart—Ye Yuan deserved to die!

"Ye Yuan, you are truly deep and scheming! You fooled all of us! Li'er, don't be deceived by this despicable man!" Zhou Yan gnashed his teeth.

Ye Yuan looked at him like an idiot and said calmly, "Five days from now, I will publicly refine the Soul-Departing Pill! Invite all the alchemists who have attempted to refine it to observe! Whether the pill formula I gave is flawed will be clear then!"

At these words, everyone was astonished.

Every alchemist guards their secrets jealously, both formulas and techniques. Publicly refining the Soul-Departing Pill would expose Ye Yuan's process to the world, subject to scrutiny.

Those who had tried to refine the pill were all Alchemy Emperors. They couldn't refine it, but if the formula were truly flawed, they would see it.

Ye Yuan might fool one or two, but with so many Alchemy Emperors observing, even with heaven-defying skills, he couldn't deceive them all!

Only with absolute confidence in his alchemy would Ye Yuan dare do this.

"Also, this auntie has quite the imagination, but trying to sow discord between Li'er and me with such methods—I can only say, it's foolish!" Ye Yuan said contemptuously.

Zhou Qianru's expression changed, and she was about to retort when Li'er said calmly, "Aunt, Li'er trusts Ye Yuan! If there is anyone in this world who can save me, it is none other than him! He will not deceive me! And no matter who wins the Bright Moon Grand Competition, the ultimate victor will surely be Ye Yuan!"

Yue Mengli's words struck like a whip, lashing fiercely at Zhou Yan's heart.

Such trust he had never received.

Yet Yue Mengli had known Ye Yuan for only a dozen years, with six or seven of those spent apart—why did she trust him so?

"Li'er, wh... why! What is so good about this brat?" Zhou Yan asked, trembling.

Li'er looked at Zhou Yan and said calmly, "Zhou Yan, you will never understand my heart. So, give up!"

Indeed, no one could understand Yue Mengli's heart.

Many years ago, the moment she saw Ji Qingyun, her heart was tied to him, and no one else could enter.

But Ji Qingyun's fall had once left her heart like dead ashes.

Unexpectedly, when she went to the lower realm to clear her mind, she miraculously encountered Ye Yuan!

And this youth gradually overlapped with that person, reviving her dead heart.

For Yue Mengli, nothing could be more beautiful than this!

But what truly surprised and delighted Yue Mengli was Ye Yuan's earlier words: "Your man is naturally the strongest!"

Could it be... that she had finally gained his recognition?
