Chapter 1127: An Unexpected Turn

"Brother Ji, long time no see. Why come and go in such haste?"

The Heaven-Calming Divine King waved his paper fan, looking like a graceful young master.

He appeared frail, but in truth, he was the most dangerous man in the entire Divine Realm.

Ye Yuan's brow furrowed. After years apart, Zhuge Qingxuan's strength had become unfathomably deep—this was hardly a good omen!

The last time he had met Zhuge Qingxuan was over a hundred years ago.

Back then, the pressure Zhuge Qingxuan exerted on Ye Yuan was far less than it was now.

It seemed that over these twenty-plus years, he was not the only one who had progressed!

"Zhuge Qingxuan, spare me your act! As if I'm that familiar with you," Ye Yuan said coolly.

Since he couldn't escape, there was no choice but to fight.

In a direct confrontation, Ye Yuan was no match for even Yun Xiao or Nangong Zifeng, let alone Zhuge Qingxuan, hailed as the number one in the Divine Realm.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected Zhuge Qingxuan to be so fast, intercepting him in just half an hour.

After all, with his current speed, even Nangong Zifeng might not be able to catch up.

It wasn't surprising that Zhuge Qingxuan could catch him, but his speed was simply too monstrous.

Zhuge Qingxuan raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Very well, then. How do you intend to settle today's massacre of the Holy City?"

The Heaven-Calming Divine King was composed, with little anger in his tone.

Yet his words carried an inherent authority.

"Hey, don't be so hypocritical, alright? If you covet the Divine Inscription, just say so. Those people are nothing but ants to you. Don't tell me you chased me out of pity for them!" Ye Yuan sneered.

Zhuge Qingxuan curled his lips slightly and smiled faintly. "Heh, a wise man doesn't beat around the bush. Hand over the Divine Inscription, and I'll give you a quick death."

The moment the words "quick death" left his mouth, a faint, elusive power of origin instantly spread out.

Ye Yuan immediately felt the entire heaven and earth pressing down on him.

A faint aura of divine law overflowed from his words, warding off the pressure.

Seeing this, the Heaven-Calming Divine King's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of delight.

"It seems that as the foremost figure of the Yu Soul Sect in this era, your shamelessness is unmatched in the world!" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

Zhuge Qingxuan was not particularly annoyed and said calmly, "Since you know, it seems I need not waste more words. Will you hand it over yourself, or must I do it personally?"

In Zhuge Qingxuan's eyes, even those Divine King-level experts, or even Void Profound experts, were nothing but ants.

Perhaps Yun Xiao and Nangong Zifeng still cared about worldly status and the lives of the Holy City's experts.

But Zhuge Qingxuan couldn't care less.

The only thing that could truly move him was the Divine Path!

Ye Yuan smiled calmly as well. "If you have the skill, come and take it yourself!"

"Swish!"

Zhuge Qingxuan closed his folding fan, still wearing a composed expression. "It seems you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Zhuge Qingxuan thrust his fan forward, and the entire world collapsed!

Ye Yuan's eyes narrowed as a overwhelming oppressive force instantly bound him completely!

The Great Teleportation technique had completely failed at this moment!

Others could hardly imagine that such an ordinary strike could carry the might of heaven and earth!

"Your divine law is too shallow!"

Zhuge Qingxuan wore a look of disdain.

In this world, those who could obtain the Divine Inscription were few and far between.

And those who could comprehend it were even rarer.

But if anyone in the Divine Realm excelled in the comprehension of divine law, it was none other than the Heaven-Calming Divine King, Zhuge Qingxuan!

In his previous life, Ye Yuan had crossed paths with Zhuge Qingxuan.

But back then, Zhuge Qingxuan had never revealed his true strength.

Today, however, Ye Yuan finally understood why Zhuge Qingxuan was revered as the Heaven-Calming Divine King!

This fan strike left Ye Yuan feeling utterly powerless to counter it.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Ye Yuan felt the space around him collapsing.

Along with it, his body felt as if it were being torn apart by the space.

Now, Ye Yuan could sense that Zhuge Qingxuan's comprehension of divine law far surpassed his own!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

Under the immense pressure, Ye Yuan's powerful physique began to crack inch by inch, blood spurting wildly.

Ye Yuan clenched his teeth, feeling as if the entire heaven and earth were collapsing.

This was the true power of divine law.

Ye Yuan's sword path was merely at the beginner's level.

Facing Zhuge Qingxuan, he was far too weak!

"Heh, when the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey claims to be king! Did you really think my Holy City was a soft persimmon to be squeezed at will?"

Zhuge Qingxuan still had strength to spare, his contempt for Ye Yuan evident.

The blood vessels in Ye Yuan's arms and legs burst inch by inch, blood gushing like a fountain.

He finally understood why the Ten Divine Kings were called invincible.

The number one in the Divine Realm was too strong!

Ye Yuan's greatest reliance was the Great Teleportation.

It was precisely because of this secret technique that he dared to contend with experts like Yun Xiao.

But now, he could no longer perform the Great Teleportation!

Just then, Yun Xiao finally arrived. He happened to witness Ye Yuan's desperate struggle and burst into wild laughter.

He had been in a state of extreme collapse all day.

Seeing Ye Yuan about to be destroyed, all of Yun Xiao's pent-up frustration was released in that moment.

"Kid Ji, aren't you arrogant? Weren't you going to destroy the Holy City's legacy? Go ahead and destroy it!" Yun Xiao laughed wildly.

Ye Yuan paid no heed to Yun Xiao's taunts.

He had no time to deal with Yun Xiao's mockery!

At this moment, Ye Yuan had entered a mysterious state.

Zhuge Qingxuan's pressure placed immense strain on his body.

But then, the Heavenly Stele within him began to react!

Tian Li had taught Ye Yuan the "Heavenly Chaos Technique," but Ye Yuan had not yet grasped such profound divine law.

Now, Ye Yuan felt as if his mind had exploded.

Those Divine Inscriptions, like a band of robbers, forcibly stormed into his sea of consciousness.

After obtaining the "Heavenly Chaos Technique," Ye Yuan had actively tried to comprehend it but gained nothing.

The hardest part of the Divine Inscription was the entry; Ye Yuan couldn't even get a foothold in the "Heavenly Chaos Technique."

Now, the Divine Inscriptions seemed to come alive. Though Ye Yuan did not actively contemplate them, they actively merged into his mind.

Ye Yuan's whole body trembled, and a faint yellow light enveloped him completely.

The spatial pressure that had been crushing him was now blocked by this faint yellow light!

Zhuge Qingxuan's smile froze on his face.

His divine law power could no longer advance an inch!

He increased his force, but... the yellow light remained unmoved, shielding Ye Yuan completely.
