Chapter 1993: What Is That Thing?

Ye Yuan ascended the steps, the pressure on his body growing heavier and heavier.

The imperial bone, even after being weathered by countless ages, still retained its pride.

Ye Yuan's pale eyes were devoid of any emotion, and he said coldly, "The glory of the past has long since vanished like smoke and clouds. Do you still want to show off your might after death? The past is gone; let it be!"

Dao patterns coiled around Ye Yuan's body; this pressure was nothing to him.

Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at the summit of the Bone Mountain.

Before him lay a complete section of the Qilin Emperor's bone.

Ye Yuan remained as calm as an ancient well, reaching out to grab it, when suddenly a change occurred.

“Freeze!”

A voice rang out from the void, and a powerful force of law wildly coiled around Ye Yuan, completely sealing the space around him.

"Hahaha... Ye Yuan, you've worked hard on this journey. I'll take this Imperial Bone!"

Liu Yi's figure materialized, looking at Ye Yuan with a triumphant expression.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events; no one had expected that someone was hiding in the void.

This was truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

But how had he managed to do it?

"It's that damned Liu Yi! He... he's already at the Fifth Heaven of True God." Guo Jingyang stared at the figure, both shocked and furious.

In just a few months, Liu Yi had actually broken through to the Fifth Heaven of True God—it was astonishing.

"That bastard must have swallowed all the Xuantian Unity Fruits! Damn it, I never expected he had such a means of concealment. I underestimated him!" Song Yu's eyes blazed with fury.

It was too late for them to intervene now; for Liu Yi, the Imperial Bone was within easy reach.

Moreover, that space had been sealed off, and they couldn't break through.

"Damn it, damn it all! Are we just going to stand here and watch him take the Emperor Bone?" Hu Fei said, his face full of reluctance.

"Heh heh, so what if he withstood three strikes? In the end, the Emperor Bone was still snatched away by someone else," Zhou Yu said with a cold sneer.

Watching Ye Yuan get cut off, Zhou Yu felt a surge of satisfaction.

"Ye Yuan, didn't expect this, did you? Besides the Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman, I also have the Shangqing Void-Escape Talisman. You were on guard against me the whole way, but in the end, I still outsmarted you, didn't I? Heh heh, with this Emperor Bone, I will surely attain the Emperor's Aura, and the Heavenly Emperor Realm will no longer be a fantasy for me!"

Liu Yi looked at Ye Yuan, extremely pleased with himself.

He had never imagined that one day he would have a chance to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

Just thinking about it made him tremble with excitement.

With that, he reached out to grab the Qilin Emperor Bone.

But just then, a beam of light burst from the Emperor Bone, and Liu Yi was blasted away like a cannonball.

His expression changed, and he murmured, "How... how is this possible?"

However, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

Ye Yuan, who had been immobilized, slowly began to move his feet, walked up to the Emperor Bone, and gently picked it up.

Liu Yi looked as if he had seen a ghost, exclaiming, "This... this can't be! My Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman should be unbreakable by anyone within the True God Realm!"

Ye Yuan looked at Liu Yi with cold indifference and said flatly, "Foolish thing. The Emperor Bone has a spirit. Since it had the Celestial Venerable Bone Demon test us, and I passed the trial, it naturally recognizes me as its master. As for your Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman—what is that?"

In his Cangtong state, Ye Yuan's entire body was surrounded by a space of divine patterns, untouched by any laws.

How could a mere Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman truly immobilize Ye Yuan?

Not only Liu Yi, but Song Yu and the others were also utterly shocked.

They had all been immobilized by the Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman, and that feeling of powerlessness had nearly driven them to despair.

But Ye Yuan—was he completely unaffected?

Liu Yi had one last Hunyuan Body-Fixing Talisman left, and he had long planned to use it at this final moment to seize the fortune.

Who would have thought that Ye Yuan would be completely unaffected?

From beginning to end, he himself was nothing but a clown!

"Last time you snatched the Profound Sky Unity Fruit, you were lucky to escape. This time, let's settle the score once and for all." Ye Yuan looked at Liu Yi, his voice devoid of any emotion.

A flash of ruthlessness suddenly flickered in Liu Yi's eyes. He sneered, "Settle the score? With you, a mere True God Second Heaven? I know you're formidable, but I am now at True God Fifth Heaven! What can you possibly use to settle accounts with me?"

Suddenly, a ghost claw appeared in Liu Yi's hand, unmistakably a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure.

Ye Yuan, as if he hadn't seen it, walked slowly toward Liu Yi.

This Ye Yuan felt utterly unfamiliar to Liu Yi.

That icy sensation made him feel as if he were about to freeze solid.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Extreme Nether Death Soul Claw!"

A terrifying aura of death erupted instantly.

A mass of black qi surged violently toward Ye Yuan.

But Ye Yuan still made no move.

Blue filaments spread out and soon collided with the mass of black qi.

The black qi, as if seeing a ghost, dissipated instantly.

Liu Yi's eyes bulged wide, unable to believe what he was seeing.

What the hell were these blue filaments?

Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Yi turned and fled.

But it was already too late.

The divine patterns spread faster than he had imagined.

In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed in the divine pattern space.

"Welcome to my world!"

Liu Yi's pupils contracted, his face filled with panic and confusion. "Your... your world?"

A small world was not unfamiliar to Liu Yi.

But he had never seen Ye Yuan's world.

How could such a small world exist?

He tried to mobilize his divine essence and activate his own world power.

Yet he was horrified to discover that his world power could not be released outside his body here!

"Th-this... what the hell is this place?" Liu Yi's heart grew more and more terrified.

Here, he felt like an ordinary mortal.

No, even worse than a mortal.

Ye Yuan said, "You don't need to know. You only need to know that your so-called luck means nothing before me. Now, you can die."

With that, Ye Yuan pointed a finger, and Liu Yi exploded into nothingness.

When his form reappeared, Liu Yi had vanished without a trace.

The others watched the scene, stunned into silence.

Song Yu and the others were overjoyed and rushed over in a few quick steps.

"Brother Ye, where is Liu Yi?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Dead."

Song Yu laughed heartily, "Haha, I knew that despicable bastard would come to no good! Brother Ye, truly impressive, even able to easily break the Chaos Stabilization Talisman."

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coldly, "A mere trifle, not worth mentioning."

That glance from Ye Yuan made Song Yu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Ye Yuan ignored Song Yu, moved his body, and shot off into the distance.
