Chapter 1972: You're Something!

"Isn't it just relying on the might of a Celestial Venerable's divine treasure? What kind of skill is that?" Zuo Mo sneered, his face full of disdain.

They were naturally unconvinced; setting aside the divine treasure, Ye Yuan was no match for them at all.

Relying on external objects—what skill was that?

Of course, if these treasures had fallen into their hands, they would never have said such a thing.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over them and said calmly, "I do have a Celestial Venerable's divine treasure, and I am bullying you. Got a problem with that?"

With that, Ye Yuan wasted no more words and once again brandished the Star Luo War Banner.

Seeing this, the three of them changed expression drastically.

Having witnessed the power of the Star Luo War Banner, they dared not be careless. They mustered all their strength and joined forces to resist.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The booming sounds shook the heavens.

Relying on the might of the Star Luo War Banner, Ye Yuan didn't bother to defend at all; he simply charged madly at the three, employing a completely oppressive fighting style.

Zuo Mo and the others were so frustrated they could almost vomit blood; they had never fought such a suffocating battle.

They could only take hits, unable to strike back.

Well, they could strike back, but they couldn't hurt him!

Their attacks landed on Ye Yuan but had no effect whatsoever.

After all this fighting, Ye Yuan was as fine as ever.

As for them, the Star Luo War Banner had turned their insides into a churning mess, their divine energy in disarray.

This kind of fighting was simply unreasonable.

"Stop! Stop now! We... we don't want the Celestial Venerable's divine treasure anymore!" Feng Xiaotian shouted repeatedly.

He didn't want to continue this battle at all.

Their divine energy was already running low, while Ye Yuan remained completely unaffected.

Was this guy really at the First Heaven of True God?

Was his divine energy truly inexhaustible?

This fighting style was too shameless, but they had no way to deal with it and could only admit defeat.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's figure came to an abrupt halt.

Zuo Mo and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but now they were panting heavily, clearly exhausted from the ordeal.

At this moment, these chosen ones looked at Ye Yuan with fear in their eyes.

No wonder he was the Emperor's Aura; at only the First Heaven of True God, he already possessed two Celestial Venerable's divine treasures.

Moreover, these two treasures complemented each other in offense and defense, allowing him to suppress three True God Third Heaven cultivators across realms.

Such fortune was truly heaven-defying!

"Esteemed lords of the Emperor's Aura, if you need a Celestial Venerable's divine treasure, you're welcome to come and take it at any time," Ye Yuan said with a smile, looking proud of his treasures.

The few of them looked very grim. Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and said, "You're something! Let's go!"

With that, he led his team into the mist, unable to stay there any longer.

The others also slunk away in disgrace.

Originally, everyone had been watching the spectacle, but no one expected that the few strongest chosen ones would be completely suppressed by a First Heaven of True God.

They finally realized that Ye Yuan's strength was already among the top of these chosen ones.

"Brother Ye, you have impressive skills. I come from the Qingyuan Emperor Capital and have some ability. May I form a team with you?" At that moment, a handsome young man stepped forward and cupped his hands to Ye Yuan.

With him taking the lead, many chosen ones who considered themselves skilled also wanted to team up with Ye Yuan.

For a time, Ye Yuan became a hot commodity.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Sorry, but I have no intention of teaming up with anyone. As for opportunities, let each rely on their own abilities."

With that, Ye Yuan strode directly into the mist.

He had no ties to these chosen ones and was not obligated to be their protector.

Earlier, when Zuo Mo and the others came to cause trouble, these people had all watched with amusement. Now they wanted to seek him out? There were no such good deals in the world.

But Ye Yuan didn't notice that among the crowd, a pair of eyes had been fixed on him without leaving.

...

Once inside the mist, Ye Yuan's vision was limited to only a few dozen zhang.

Ye Yuan immediately became fully alert; he had a feeling that from here on, they were entering a truly dangerous area.

Were those war spirits outside strong?

Very strong!

But none of those war spirits dared to approach this mist, which clearly indicated danger.

"This damn place, I can't see anything. How am I supposed to find treasures?"

"Damn it, I can only see a few zhang ahead!"

"This place is too strange. Everyone, stay close."

...

Inside the mist, the chosen ones were all extremely frustrated.

Their eyesight was not as good as Ye Yuan's; they could only see a few zhang ahead.

For a True God realm expert, this was no different from being blind.

This feeling made them very annoyed.

Ye Yuan noticed that after entering the mist, the various teams became much more scattered, unlike before when they were a large group.

Everyone also knew that while this place was dangerous, it likely contained many good things.

However, Song Yu's and Zuo Mo's teams both chose the same direction as Ye Yuan, as if by tacit agreement.

Of course, they had no idea that Ye Yuan was not far from them.

"Hmm? Something's wrong!"

Just as he turned around, Ye Yuan suddenly felt something was off, so he turned back to look at Song Yu's team.

This look made his heart race.

They had entered from the Jiyun Emperor Capital with nine people.

Excluding himself and the two who had died, there should have been six left.

But why were there now seven people in the team?

Ye Yuan remembered everyone who had come together.

With a single glance, he noticed something wrong with the last person.

He was following closely behind the last person, like a ghost.

Ye Yuan remembered that last person; his name was Qian Feng, a peak First Heaven of True God expert.

Just then, that ghost-like figure's fierce eyes turned toward Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's heart skipped a beat—could this thing see him?

Was the mist ineffective against it?

"Qian Feng, watch your back!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan immediately shouted a warning to Qian Feng.

At the same time, he dashed forward, heading straight for the ghost behind Qian Feng.

After all, they were from the same emperor capital, and Ye Yuan didn't want to see someone from Jiyun get hurt.

Hearing Ye Yuan's shout, Song Yu's team was baffled, but they instinctively turned to look at Qian Feng.

Qian Feng himself was stunned, looking completely confused.

He instinctively tried to turn around, but it was too late.

He felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck, and then his entire body visibly shriveled up.

Seeing this, Song Yu and the others' pupils constricted.

Just then, Ye Yuan arrived and unhesitatingly struck out with the Star Luo War Banner.

Boom!

However, that figure was faster than him; with a "whoosh," it plunged directly into the mist and vanished.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

At the same time, screams rang out from within the mist, sending chills down everyone's spine.
