Chapter 986: Land of Ancestral Spirits!

Earlier, Ye Yuan was still at the fourth level of the Formless Realm. After a spin through the Haotian Tower, he had advanced to the fifth level.

Although breaking through a minor realm did little to change the current situation, it still gave Ruan Shuangzhou a shock.

"Hmm, I didn't expect that after being drained dry, I would break through on the spot," Ye Yuan said calmly, hands clasped behind his back.

Across from him, Pan Yin was astonished at the sight.

He could tell that Ruan Shuangzhou and Ye Yuan had entered into a soul contract.

A powerhouse at the Divine King realm actually serving a Formless Realm cultivator as master? Such a bold move could only come from a super holy land!

In an instant, Pan Yin's mind raced with possibilities.

If the White Tiger Clan had colluded with a human super holy land, then the Demon Tiger Clan was in grave danger!

It seemed he must keep this young man here!

Ye Yuan had no idea that this scene had only strengthened Pan Yin's resolve to detain him.

"Youngster, will you surrender, or must I take action?" Pan Yin said coolly.

Since he had given chase, there was no way he would let Ye Yuan escape, no matter how extraordinary Ye Yuan's methods were.

Such was the confidence of a top-tier Divine King!

Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "If you have the skill, by all means, try to catch me!"

Before Pan Yin could react, Ruan Shuangzhou vanished with a whoosh, and Ye Yuan's figure, like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water, gradually faded before Pan Yin's eyes!

At this sight, both Pan Yin and Ling Lixiao's expressions changed drastically!

"Unity of Heaven and Man! How is that possible!" Ling Lixiao exclaimed.

The Great Elder's face darkened. "After him!"

Ye Yuan did not flee toward the White Tiger Clan; he could sense that Pan Yin had sealed off all surrounding space.

Even if he merged with heaven and earth, Pan Yin could still force him out.

A top-tier Divine King's understanding of the Dao of Heaven was far deeper than that of an ordinary Divine King.

Merging with heaven and earth allowed one to escape unscathed from an ordinary Divine King, but not from a top-tier one!

Naturally, Ye Yuan would not flee toward the Demon Tiger Clan either—that would be walking into a trap.

Thus, he chose to escape in a direction between the two.

The Great Elder never dreamed that Ye Yuan's trump card was the Unity of Heaven and Man.

Hesitating for a moment, Ye Yuan had already fled tens of thousands of miles.

But the Great Elder had already locked onto Ye Yuan with his divine sense. Though delayed, he followed closely and would not fall too far behind.

As for Ling Lixiao, he could only eat dust in the rear.

Although the Great Elder could not merge with heaven and earth, his speed was no slower than Ye Yuan's.

One chased, the other fled; in an instant, they covered millions of miles.

As he pursued, the Great Elder was inwardly shocked. The state of Unity of Heaven and Man had not appeared in the Divine Realm for countless years.

No matter how experienced he was, he never imagined that such a state could appear in a young man in his twenties.

"This kid, what background does he have? Good thing I chased him; otherwise, who could have stopped him? No wonder he had that Divine King flee earlier—it seems he exhausted his yuan power to infiltrate the totem territory."

Pan Yin's mind wandered as the two had already covered an unknown distance.

The Great Elder, with his deep reserves, was actually slightly faster than Ye Yuan, who had merged with heaven and earth!

The distance between them was gradually closing.

"Kid, even if you've comprehended Unity of Heaven and Man, you won't escape!" Pan Yin projected his voice with yuan power directly into Ye Yuan's ear.

"Old man, if you've got the skill, come and catch me!" Ye Yuan's voice betrayed no panic, even carrying a hint of mockery.

Hearing Ye Yuan's voice, Pan Yin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, his expression changed drastically. "Damn! This direction—could he be trying to enter the Land of Ancestral Spirits? Damn it! That little girl Fang Xiao must have put him up to it! No, I have to find a way to stop him from entering!"

Pan Yin guessed correctly; Ye Yuan's destination was indeed the Land of Ancestral Spirits!

Before leaving, Ye Yuan had asked Fang Xiao if there was any place within the Demon Tiger Clan's territory that even Divine Kings dared not go.

The answer he got was the Land of Ancestral Spirits.

The Land of Ancestral Spirits was where the Demon Tiger Clan housed the spirit tablets of their ancestors, guarded by an immensely powerful tomb keeper.

Without permission, even the clan leader of the Demon Tiger Clan would be obliterated upon entering!

It wasn't that the tomb keeper had reached the Divine Realm, but that within the Land of Ancestral Spirits, he could borrow the power of the ancestral spirits.

This power was very peculiar; in short, even the clan leader would face great danger upon entering.

Upon hearing about the Land of Ancestral Spirits, Ye Yuan decided without hesitation to enter.

At this point, returning to the White Tiger Clan by the original route was impossible.

So Ye Yuan made a snap decision, merged with heaven and earth, and attempted to enter the Land of Ancestral Spirits.

A powerhouse like Pan Yin was not someone Ye Yuan could contend with at his current level.

Entering the Land of Ancestral Spirits was dangerous, but there was still a glimmer of hope. Falling into Pan Yin's hands, however, meant certain death.

The Land of Ancestral Spirits was not far from the totem territory. Ye Yuan had deliberately taken a wide detour before aiming for this place, so Pan Yin hadn't noticed at first.

Space rippled, and Ye Yuan's figure materialized.

Ahead stood two enormous dark-black tiger statues, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

Behind the statues was a massive mausoleum—this was the Land of Ancestral Spirits!

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Land of Ancestral Spirits! Surrender at once!"

Suddenly, a large group of warriors appeared. A quick scan told Ye Yuan they were all at the Dao Profound Realm, some even at the late Dao Profound Realm!

But these Demon Tiger Clan members were nothing in Ye Yuan's eyes.

"Shuangzhou, deal with them. We're entering the Land of Ancestral Spirits!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

Ye Yuan released Ruan Shuangzhou. The sight of a sudden Divine King powerhouse put the opposing group on high alert.

Ruan Shuangzhou did not hesitate. Like a tiger among sheep, he began a massive slaughter.

The reason a Divine King was called a Divine King was the immense gap between them and ordinary Dao Profound Realm cultivators!

Even a Dao Profound Eighth Layer cultivator was no match for a Divine King.

Soon, Ruan Shuangzhou had carved a bloody path.

Ye Yuan did not hesitate and followed Ruan Shuangzhou toward the mausoleum.

But at that moment, a terrifying aura came from an extremely distant place.

"Demon Tiger Secret Art: Tiger's Roar Shakes the Heavens! Roar!"

Pan Yin let out a long howl. A powerful sonic wave pierced through the void, heading straight for Ye Yuan.

"Ahhh!"

Some Demon Tiger Clan members who had survived were caught in the sonic wave. Blood streamed from their seven orifices, and they were shaken to death on the spot.

Ye Yuan's expression changed. Without hesitation, he summoned the Heavenly King Bell, the Sacred Dragon Token already in his right hand, and slammed it down onto the bell...
