Chapter 1446: Taking a Risk

"I... am... not... reconciled!"

Qin Tian's gaze gradually grew unfocused, filled with intense unwillingness.

He was the most talented disciple in the Wumeng Royal City in a hundred thousand years, and if nothing unexpected happened, he could even step into the Divine Lord realm.

Until one day, a fellow named Ye Yuan appeared, snatching away all his glory.

This rookie at only the Cave Profound realm had actually overshadowed him, who was half a step into the Heaven Gazing realm!

Once upon a time, in Qin Tian's eyes, Ye Yuan was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at any time.

Until one day, he was astonished to discover that this ant had suddenly grown up.

Grown to the point where it could threaten him!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to infiltrate the Tianlu World to kill him.

Yet the final outcome ended with his own death.

A prodigy of his generation, thus fallen!

"This... in the blink of an eye, he killed two Return to Void powerhouses! That guy, how did he do it?"

"Too... too strong! He's only at the early Heaven Gazing realm, yet he actually toyed two Return to Void powerhouses to death!"

"It's hard for Divine Path cultivators to leap across realms! But this guy's combat power has to be at least two minor realms higher—it's simply unbelievable!"

"This Ye Yuan, in the outside world, he's probably a top-tier genius too, right?"

...

Amid the crowd's exclamations, Ye Yuan sheathed his sword and stood upright, with no trace of pity in his eyes.

The Qin family had used countless methods to put him to death.

If it weren't for his trump cards, he would have long died without a trace.

The moment Qin Tian saw him, he had already regarded him as a dead man.

Killing him, Ye Yuan had no psychological burden.

"Bang!"

A huge rock fell from high above, directly smashing onto the isolated island.

The island could no longer bear the weight and slowly sank.

The Ten Thousand Year Soul Stones scattered on the island slid off and fell separately into the magma.

During his fierce battle with Qin Tian, he had been fully focused and hadn't noticed this huge rock.

Now he wanted to salvage the situation, but it was already too late!

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan used his third Heavenly Thunder Swift Movement Talisman, his body turning into a blur as he swooped downward.

Ye Yuan pushed his divine energy to the extreme, arriving ahead of the falling Ten Thousand Year Soul Stones.

Ye Yuan's hands moved like lightning; in that instant, he collected seven or eight Ten Thousand Year Soul Stones.

As for the rest, he could do nothing.

His straight-line dash had left no room for restraint, and he simply couldn't change direction.

"Supreme Elder!"

Bai Xiu and the others saw Ye Yuan's figure rushing toward the magma at extreme speed, and they were all greatly alarmed.

But Ye Yuan's speed was too fast; they couldn't do anything in time.

"Bam!"

At extremely high speed, Ye Yuan crashed into the Boundary Stabilizing Stele.

Due to the massive impact, the stele splashed a large clump of magma in all directions.

"Pfft!"

Ye Yuan directly spat out a mouthful of blood and couldn't recover for a long time.

The impact was too fierce; even with Ye Yuan's strong physique, he suffered considerable internal injuries.

It was as if he had taken a full-force collision from himself; anyone else would have killed themselves outright!

"You brat, is your life worth so little? If you keep playing like this, one day you'll play yourself to death..."

In his sea of consciousness, Wu Chen's roar came.

He was almost driven crazy by Ye Yuan's dangerous move.

This whole series of actions had happened in an instant.

Ye Yuan not only had to collect the Ten Thousand Year Soul Stones but also activate the Boundary Stabilizing Stele; if he made any mistake and fell into the magma, he would have completely played himself to death.

"Heh, it's fine, isn't it? I must get the Ten Thousand Year Soul Stones!" Ye Yuan forced a smile.

Ye Yuan struggled to his feet, ignoring his injuries, and leaped up.

"This place is not safe; let's go!" Ye Yuan said to the White Night Sacred Palace group.

"But... what about the Palace Master?" Bai Xiu asked.

"He'll be fine. Bai Chen is safer here than outside," Ye Yuan said calmly.

The dome collapsed, revealing a large gap above.

Ye Yuan leaped up and flew toward the gap.

Bai Xiu and the others' expressions changed, and they swiftly followed Ye Yuan.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Figures shot out from underground one after another.

But compared to the large group that entered, these figures seemed sparse.

"It's Huo Tianyang! That damned bastard, can't let him escape!"

As soon as Bai Xiu came out, he saw Huo Tianyang fleeing at top speed.

Seeing this, the White Night Sacred Palace group immediately wanted to give chase.

"Don't chase!" Ye Yuan said loudly.

Bai Xiu and the others paused, puzzled: "Supreme Elder, Huo Tianyang is our mortal enemy; how can we let him escape?"

Ye Yuan said calmly: "Let him be free for a while! When Bai Chen emerges from seclusion, he will naturally take his dog life."

Suddenly, Ye Yuan frowned and said solemnly: "Quick, let's go!"

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they sped away.

"Boom!"

Not long after they left, violent magma erupted directly from underground, shooting straight into the clouds!

The terrifying heat could be clearly felt even from ten thousand miles away.

The magma column was like a fountain, looking extremely spectacular.

Seeing this, everyone changed color: "Supreme Elder, this... the Palace Master inside, will he be alright?"

The magma was too terrifying; they couldn't help but worry.

Ye Yuan said calmly: "Don't worry! Having eaten the Dao Fruit, Bai Chen is the Heavenly Dao! This magma is very dangerous to us, but it won't harm him at all."

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone felt a bit relieved.

They all knew that Ye Yuan would not harm Bai Chen.

Since he said so, it must be true.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan caught a glimpse of a familiar figure fleeing into the distance.

He moved and gave chase.

"Brother Qingfeng, seeing an old friend, are you leaving without saying goodbye?" Ye Yuan said calmly.

This person was none other than Divine Envoy Qingfeng.

This time, two divine envoys had come with Duan Fei.

But the other divine envoy had died in the great formation; Qingfeng was luckier and survived.

He was afraid of being seen by Ye Yuan, so he planned to sneak away.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan was so alert that he spotted him.

Blocked by Ye Yuan, Qingfeng's expression turned ugly: "So it's Brother Ye Yuan. Qingfeng's eyes were dull; I didn't see you earlier. Please don't take offense."

At this moment, Qingfeng had none of the arrogance of a divine envoy.

Ye Yuan's great display of power, single-handedly slaying two Return to Void powerhouses, had left an indelible mark on the hearts of all Heaven Gazing cultivators.

In fact, given Ye Yuan's current state, it was hard to say whether he could defeat Qingfeng.

But Qingfeng didn't know that Ye Yuan had only three Heavenly Thunder Swift Movement Talismans and had used them all.

After all, Ye Yuan's current prestige was too strong!

"Heh, Brother Qingfeng, let's be straightforward. You need to think clearly: if you go back to the Tianlu Divine Palace to report now, you'll be making an enemy of the master of the Tianlu World! Once Bai Chen refines the Dao Fruit, that will be the time of your death!" Ye Yuan said darkly.
