Chapter 1095 Breakthrough in Artistic Conception

Under the state of unity between heaven and man, every move of the eight giant apes was reflected in Ye Yuan's mind with the utmost clarity.

These eight giant apes were the perfect opponents for him.

The eight giant apes were extremely powerful; even without their combined attacks, Ye Yuan found it very difficult to handle them.

But it was precisely this extreme feeling that could stimulate Ye Yuan's potential!

The iron fists of the giant apes whistled past Ye Yuan's ears.

Although Ye Yuan could accurately dodge their fists, the force of primal energy from the punches was also very hard for him to bear.

The eight giant apes, with their sixteen iron fists interweaving, formed an extremely terrifying net of wind force in the air.

Even though Ye Yuan possessed the Divine King Domain, he was now wounded in many places.

However, the eight giant apes were not much better off.

Ye Yuan was too agile; under the erosion of the无极 Sword Domain, he had cut many openings on the bodies of the eight giant apes.

All eight giant apes had sustained varying degrees of injury.

All along, the opponents Ye Yuan encountered were too powerful. Many times, he relied on the power of divine artifacts to barely force them back.

But now, he was truly relying on his own strength to fight the eight giant apes to a standstill.

On the side, the disciples of the Purple Gold Hall watched with pounding hearts.

In their understanding, Ye Yuan's strength was mostly due to his divine artifacts.

But they had never seen how strong his true strength was.

This time, they truly witnessed it.

A Dao Xuan third layer cultivator, fighting eight giant apes, actually matched them evenly.

This level of strength, not to mention dominating his peers, even among their Divine King peaks, many were inferior!

"Unexpectedly, Ji Qingyun's martial arts strength has reached this level! I can barely handle one giant ape, but he fights eight alone and doesn't fall behind at all!" said a Divine King peak disciple of the Purple Gold Hall.

"Incredible! This guy is heaven-defying in alchemy, but now it seems his martial arts are no less than his alchemy!" exclaimed another Divine King powerhouse.

"Hasn't he been reborn for only about twenty years? How could he comprehend such profound Supreme True Intent? Could it be that his previous life was all a disguise?"

These disciples were all dumbfounded, completely unaware that Guo Xu's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"All of you, shut up!" Guo Xu scolded, clutching his chest.

The disciples realized they had misspoken and stuck out their tongues, falling silent.

Praising Ji Qingyun in front of the senior brother—wasn't that slapping his face?

Just then, the Divine Hound King suddenly spoke, "Ji Qingyun... seems to be about to break through!"

Guo Xu was startled and quickly looked toward Ye Yuan.

At this moment, Ye Yuan was wounded in many places, with bright red blood seeping out in several spots.

But his Divine King Domain shone brilliantly, even sharper than before!

Those sword glows grew stronger and sharper.

For a time, Ye Yuan's Divine King Domain blazed with green light, and the life-and-death aura ran rampant!

Originally, Ye Yuan's pseudo Divine King Domain was only about five zhang square.

This level of Divine King Domain was inferior even to the weakest Void Xuan cultivator.

But now, Ye Yuan's pseudo Divine King Domain had expanded to ten zhang square, doubling in size!

Do not underestimate this doubling; for a Void Xuan cultivator, even expanding by one zhang is extremely difficult.

The size of the Divine King Domain can, to some extent, demonstrate the strength of a Void Xuan cultivator.

Guo Xu had devoted himself to understanding the Dao, breaking through from the initial ten zhang square to fifty zhang square over the years—a tremendous improvement.

But his strength was not particularly strong among Void Xuan cultivators.

A Divine King Domain reaching a hundred zhang in radius is a watershed for Void Xuan cultivators.

Reaching this level is roughly equivalent to the existence of the Extreme Sword Divine King.

To reach this step, both types of Supreme True Intent must reach the ninth level and be perfectly fused!

As for Ye Yuan, his artistic conception comprehension was actually already stronger than Guo Xu's.

The reason his Divine King Domain was only five zhang square was that his primal energy was insufficient to support a larger sword domain.

Now, Ye Yuan's realm had not broken through, but his artistic conception had broken through!

Just now, Ye Yuan's sword intent finally broke through to the ninth level.

Only one step away from great perfection!

Ninth-level sword intent—a level many Void Xuan cultivators cannot reach.

Ye Yuan had achieved it in just twenty years!

"Chi chi chi..."

The green sword glows, like a group of green dragons, pierced a giant ape in front of Ye Yuan, covering it with wounds.

Thus, this giant ape could no longer hold on and fell with a crash!

These eight giant apes cooperated seamlessly; with one suddenly falling, their strength was greatly diminished.

With that, Ye Yuan, surrounded by countless green glows, like a walking monster, wantonly slaughtered these giant apes.

Ye Yuan's control of primal energy was extremely precise, so sustained combat was no problem.

Those superficial wounds were nothing to him, a powerhouse with a ninth-level physical body.

One by one, the giant apes fell, and Ye Yuan's slaughter speed grew faster and faster.

Finally, the last giant ape fell at Ye Yuan's feet.

Ye Yuan, relying on his own strength, had killed eight Divine King peak giant apes. Such an achievement was nothing short of a miracle!

The disciples of the Purple Gold Hall were all dumbfounded.

They had thought Ye Yuan was only using the eight giant apes to temper himself and would eventually use a divine artifact to kill them.

But they never expected that Ye Yuan, spending an entire day, had worn down the eight giant apes to death.

Once the giant apes were dead, Ye Yuan was almost completely exhausted.

He took out a pill and sat down on the spot to recover his primal energy.

He had collected a large number of spiritual herbs in the Eternal Medicine Garden, so refining a few ninth-level pills was naturally no problem.

The Divine Hound King, watching Ye Yuan meditating, said solemnly, "Ji Qingyun's combat experience is extremely rich; from start to finish, he gave those giant apes not a single chance! It seems he has experienced a lot in these twenty years! Guo Xu, having such an existence is not necessarily a bad thing for you. It can make you feel shame and then be brave, preventing you from daring to slack off! Success or failure lies in your own thoughts."

Guo Xu was shaken upon hearing this.

His murky gaze gradually became firm.

Yes, with such a monstrous existence as Ji Qingyun still training desperately, how could he have time to be jealous here?

As long as he kept training, one day he would surpass him.

Because Lord Xiaoyun had said that Ji Qingyun was a man doomed to die!

Although Guo Xu did not understand why Ji Qingyun was doomed, he was certain that Lord Xiaoyun would never deceive him.

He slowly stood up, radiating a strong fighting spirit!

"From today on, I, Guo Xu, will redouble my efforts! One day, I will surpass Ji Qingyun!"
