Chapter 969: Merging with Heaven and Earth!

The difficulty of finding divine essence is no less than that of finding a divine artifact.

With the disappearance of the divine path, divine essence has become increasingly scarce in the Divine Realm.

One might say, it diminishes with each use.

Only in the legacy caves left by divine realm experts can one find such divine essence.

This divine essence is the energy that divine realm experts use to maintain the operation of their caves. Over time, the divine essence also dwindles.

Moreover, the danger level of a divine realm expert's cave goes without saying.

Even a divine king entering such a place faces a near-certain death!

The strength of a divine realm expert is simply beyond the comprehension of the Dao Profound realm.

Given Ye Yuan's current cultivation level, it is fundamentally impossible for him to obtain divine essence.

Yet, Ye Yuan somehow possesses divine essence!

With divine essence, the gap in cultivation between him and Ye Yuan becomes essentially negligible.

Now, the contest boils down to their respective divine artifacts.

"Heh, divine essence? I have plenty of that stuff. Now, will you scram on your own, or do you want me to teach you a lesson?" Ye Yuan sneered.

Han Tong's face darkened. "Hmph! Even if you have divine essence, how much can you have? I don't believe your divine essence can sustain many attacks from a divine artifact! Trying to scare me off with such tricks is too naive!"

"Haha, scare you off? Open your dog eyes and watch!"

Without another word, Ye Yuan once again infused divine essence into the Sacred Dragon Token, unleashing a terrifying attack.

Han Tong's expression changed, and he had no choice but to passively defend.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous roar, and the main peak was once again shorn off a large chunk by these two terrifying attacks.

For a moment, rocks flew everywhere.

Ye Yuan was sent flying again, but his physical body was extremely powerful. Activating the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, he once again drove the Sacred Dragon Token to launch an attack.

Only a physique like Ye Yuan's could withstand such a heavy load. For anyone else, frantically activating a divine artifact like this would cause them to be crushed to death by the artifact's own pressure.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Time and again, Ye Yuan's divine essence seemed as if it were picked up for free, frantically driving the Sacred Dragon Token.

Han Tong was utterly frustrated!

At this point, how could he still doubt Ye Yuan?

How could this guy have so much divine essence?

After several powerful exchanges, Han Tong had also sustained considerable internal injuries. Worse, in such a frantic contest of divine essence, he had very little left!

But Ye Yuan's divine essence seemed inexhaustible, as if it would never run out.

Such usage was utterly enviable!

Although Han Tong often brandished the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Annihilation to intimidate, he rarely actually used divine essence.

Divine essence was something even the hall master had little of, so what he bestowed upon Han Tong was naturally limited.

But this Ye Yuan, like a prodigal son, treated divine essence as if it were nothing.

"Stop! Stop now! I... I concede!"

Seizing the gap while Ye Yuan was recovering his breath, Han Tong finally admitted defeat and conceded.

However, Ye Yuan sneered, "You want to fight, you fight; you want to concede, you concede. Who gave you that authority? When to stop is up to me! Again!"

After recovering his breath, Ye Yuan once again infused divine essence and blasted it toward Han Tong.

The divine essence left by Fang Tian was indeed plentiful. This barrage of bombardment consumed only a thousandth of it.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was the very image of a spendthrift, using precious divine essence out of spite.

Of course, Ye Yuan's real intention was not spite but to see if he could kill Han Tong!

Spending some divine essence to obtain the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Annihilation was still quite worthwhile.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After several more exchanges, Ye Yuan gave Han Tong no chance to catch his breath, launching attacks as if his life depended on it.

Han Tong's face was pale, a result of excessive blood loss.

After exchange after exchange, his body was on the verge of collapse. He truly couldn't understand how Ye Yuan managed to hold on.

At this moment, the once towering main peak had been reduced to half its original height.

The divine artifact battle between these two was truly terrifying.

"No, I can't keep fighting! My divine essence is almost gone. If I continue, I'm asking for death. This kid is too troublesome. I need to find a way to escape!" Han Tong thought to himself.

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan's attack arrived again. Han Tong, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, once again infused divine essence into the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Annihilation to counter Ye Yuan.

Han Tong was repelled again, his qi and blood churning, feeling as if his internal organs were about to flip over!

But this time, Han Tong forcibly suppressed his internal injuries, and suddenly a burst of blood light flared up as he fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Han Tong's speed was astonishingly fast, much faster than an ordinary mid-stage Dao Profound realm cultivator.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan showed no surprise, only sneering, "Trying to escape? That depends on whether you have the ability!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's figure suddenly vanished on the spot.

Han Tong, having activated a secret technique to boost his speed, was fleeing with his tail between his legs. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and Ye Yuan's figure had somehow appeared ahead of him!

Startled, Han Tong forcibly twisted his body and fled in another direction.

Ye Yuan took another step and vanished on the spot.

As Han Tong fled, Ye Yuan had somehow gotten ahead of him again.

This time, he finally realized he couldn't escape!

"You... you can merge with heaven and earth! Th-this is impossible! Ah! You... you've comprehended the unity of heaven and man?" Han Tong suddenly realized something, his expression drastically changing.

At this moment, despair filled his eyes.

If Ye Yuan had comprehended the unity of heaven and man, there was no way he could survive today!

But how could this kid have comprehended the realm of unity of heaven and man?

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You have some insight. That's right, your young master here just recently comprehended the unity of heaven and man. Will you stretch out your neck for the blade, or will you put up a final struggle?"

Upon receiving the affirmative answer, despair filled Han Tong's eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly activated the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Annihilation and blasted it toward Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was prepared. The Sacred Dragon Token was activated almost simultaneously, smashing toward Han Tong.

"Boom!"

Both were sent flying again, but Ye Yuan did not pause. This time, without even recovering his breath, he once again activated the Sacred Dragon Token and smashed it toward Han Tong.

However, Han Tong's divine essence had been completely exhausted in the previous exchange!

"Ah!"

A miserable cry rang out as Han Tong was reduced to nothingness under the bombardment of the Sacred Dragon Token.

"Clang!"

The Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Annihilation fell from the air and landed on the ground.

But Ye Yuan paid it no heed. His consciousness once again sank into his sea of consciousness, and he said coldly to the Sun-Moon Heaven Eye, "Well, have you made up your mind? This is the last time I'll ask you!"

The Sun-Moon Heaven Eye's expression changed. It had witnessed the entire battle and gained a deeper understanding of Ye Yuan's power.
