Chapter 1255: The Second Stage of the Divine Path!

"Zhuge Qingxuan!"

The three of them changed color at the sight of Zhuge Qingxuan.

Ye Yuan had thought Zhuge Qingxuan was no match for Li Kui, but he never expected him to escape from the Soul Refining Sect space.

However... his entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a great change.

"Hey, surprised? Didn't expect me to escape from inside, did you?"

"Hehe, boy, you're quite something, knowing how to use a borrowed knife to kill! But this lord's century-old work has been destroyed in an instant—this fury, you will have to bear!"

Two completely different voices actually sprang from the same mouth, startling Ye Yuan and the others greatly.

But Ye Yuan quickly understood: the Soul Refining Sect's sect master, Li Kui, seemed to have possessed Zhuge Qingxuan.

However, this was different from soul-seizing; Zhuge Qingxuan still had his own consciousness.

But now, Zhuge Qingxuan indeed gave him a very dangerous aura.

After the initial shock, Ye Yuan quickly calmed down and laughed heartily: "Hahaha... The dignified Calamity-Conquering Divine King has now fallen to such a neither-human-nor-ghost state! If the outside world knew, I'm afraid it would become a fine tale throughout the Divine Realm, wouldn't it?"

Zhuge Qingxuan's face darkened. Although he was now possessed by Li Kui, he still retained half of his original personality.

He valued face above all, and being taunted like this by Ye Yuan, he was about to lose his temper.

"Calm down! If you lack even this much composure, how can you achieve great things?" Li Kui advised.

"Shut up! Whatever you have to say, wait until I kill Ye Yuan!" Zhuge Qingxuan wouldn't listen and directly shouted him down.

"Hehe, without this god, do you think you can kill this boy?"

"I don't need your help! Do you think my title of Calamity-Conquering Divine King is for nothing?"

"Fine, fine, this god won't interfere! But don't come begging me later!"

With that, Li Kui fell silent, as if he had relinquished control of the body.

"Ye Yuan, this time, not even the Heavenly King himself can save you!" Zhuge Qingxuan said harshly.

Ye Yuan only smiled faintly: "Last time, I wonder who fled like a dog?"

"Hmph! If you hadn't used tricks last time, how could I have lost to you?" Zhuge Qingxuan said disdainfully.

"Only the weak make excuses for their failures," Ye Yuan said calmly.

"Then let me see today just how strong you really are!"

Zhuge Qingxuan gave a cold laugh and悍然 thrust out a finger!

Mystic Qi Finger!

One finger out, wind and clouds stirred!

Ye Yuan's eyes showed disdain, and he sneered: "This move again? Can't you come up with something new?"

Saying this, Ye Yuan swung his Exorcism Sword, and the Furious Sword Fire Lotus roared out, meeting Zhuge Qingxuan's Mystic Qi Finger.

But at that moment, Ye Yuan felt a tightness in his chest, as if his primal force was blocked. This Furious Sword Fire Lotus almost failed to release.

"Boom!"

A half-baked Furious Sword Fire Lotus was no match for the Mystic Qi Finger.

Ye Yuan's chest felt as if struck by a tremendous force; he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground, blood soaking his clothes.

"Brother Yuan!"

"Big Brother!"

Li'er and Bai Guang were greatly alarmed, never expecting such an outcome.

Ye Yuan struggled to his feet, his internal organs already severely injured.

Fortunately, he had the Overlord Dragon Regeneration Art, which was frantically healing his wounds.

"Hehe, how was the taste of this god's Ghost Spirit Curse?" Li Kui cackled.

Ye Yuan knew the problem lay with the two blood rays from before.

He hadn't felt it earlier, but now when he circulated his primal force, he sensed two strange forces blocking his chest, making his primal force flow unevenly.

This feeling was somewhat similar to the Defiling God Blood Beads of the six protectors, but in terms of power, it was much stronger.

It was like a curse planted on Ye Yuan, which even the Primordial Magnetic Spirit Wood could not dispel.

Truly worthy of a former peak Heaven-Gazing expert; his methods were simply unimaginable.

But...

A mocking smile flickered at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth, causing Li Kui's expression to change.

"Ghost Spirit Curse, is it? Sounds quite impressive. I wonder... if Ghost Li can undo this Ghost Spirit Curse?" Ye Yuan sneered.

A blood-red figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan.

Li Kui's face turned extremely ugly, and he ground his teeth: "So that's why the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was missing—it fell into your hands!"

Li Kui had personally refined these ghost fiends, so he naturally knew their power.

Ordinary martial artists, even at extremely high realms, could not subdue these ghost fiends.

He couldn't imagine how Ye Yuan had managed to subdue them.

Thinking of how his years of hard work had become a wedding dress for Ye Yuan, Li Kui felt as if he himself had been cursed with the Ghost Spirit Curse—a stifling sensation.

Ghost Li, as if not seeing Li Kui, summoned the other eight ghost fiends and began to cast a spell on Ye Yuan.

These ghost fiends were very familiar with Li Kui's methods. If Li Kui were at his peak, they naturally couldn't undo the Ghost Spirit Curse.

But now, their strength was sufficient.

"Think you can break the curse? Not so easy! Hey, let me show you what the number one in the Divine Realm really is!"

Zhuge Qingxuan's face turned cold, and he thrust out a finger again.

"Mystic Heaven... Finger!"

Zhuge Qingxuan shouted coldly; the power of this finger was truly unimaginable.

Mystic Calamity Finger, Mystic Qi Finger, Mystic Heaven Finger—these were clearly martial skills from the same lineage in the Brahma Heaven Heart Sutra.

To comprehend them to such a degree was truly infinitely powerful.

Moreover, Zhuge Qingxuan had also comprehended the Divine Path Domain. With the domain's enhancement, his strength was even more terrifying.

Ye Yuan's face darkened: "No wonder you're so arrogant—you've comprehended the second stage of the Divine Path. Unfortunately... do you think you're the only one who has?"

Ye Yuan's body shone with golden light, and he struck out a palm with overwhelming force.

Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm!

Ye Yuan's dragon clan martial skills had advanced rapidly. In the Exile Land, under the guidance of the ancestor, he had broken through to the second stage of the Divine Path!

The second stage of the Divine Path corresponded to the Divine Path law power of the mid-Dongxuan Divine Realm.

Originally, Zhuge Qingxuan and Divine King Lingzhe were at the same level of law comprehension, mostly at the late stage of the first stage of the Divine Path.

I don't know what guidance Zhuge Qingxuan received from Kano, but his strength had greatly increased, breaking through to the second stage of the Divine Path.

Unfortunately, Ye Yuan's law comprehension was much faster than Zhuge Qingxuan had imagined.

Second-stage Divine Path Coiling Dragon Heaven-Breaking Palm versus second-stage Divine Path Mystic Heaven Finger!

It should have been a evenly matched strike, but Ye Yuan had the enhancement of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body, and with one palm, he sent Zhuge Qingxuan flying.

"Hey, the number one in the Divine Realm—how shameless!" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.
