Chapter 2006: Thyme

"Hahaha..."

After a deathly silence, the army erupted into wild laughter, shaking the surroundings.

A True God Triple Layer saying he would single-handedly destroy an army of over a hundred thousand—what a joke.

"Kid, not to mention us city lords at True God Ninth Layer, even those at True God Eighth Layer could crush you with one hand! And you have the audacity to say you'll wipe us all out alone?" a True God Ninth Layer city lord laughed heartily.

"Kid, we're right here watching—let's see how you annihilate us all!"

"We're so scared! Look at me, my legs are trembling!"

"Hahaha..."

Another burst of laughter.

Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with amusement, as if watching a fool.

Before coming, they had thought Ye Yuan was some extraordinary talent, but he turned out to be such an idiot.

This lightened the originally tense atmosphere.

After all, the kid had provided them with plenty of laughs before his death.

However, some did not laugh.

Among the army, Yu Wenfeng's expression was grim.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to face the entire army alone.

Though he also found Ye Yuan's words amusing, his understanding of Ye Yuan ran deeper than others'.

A man who could say such things was either truly a fool or had real backing.

Yu Wenfeng knew that when Ye Yuan wiped out the Dead Soul Gate branch, he had planned meticulously and left no one alive.

How could such a man be a fool?

That meant Ye Yuan truly had a trump card!

But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out what it was.

Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, "It seems my persuasion is useless. I didn't want to commit too much slaughter, but since you seek death yourselves, don't blame me."

A True God Ninth Layer looked at Ye Yuan like he was an idiot and said, "I wonder why Lord Lü Yan made such a big deal. For a fool like you, sending a few strong men would be enough. Kid, this city lord will send you to your death now, so you don't embarrass yourself here."

With that, the man released a terrifying aura and crushed toward Ye Yuan.

At that moment, Ye Yuan's figure blurred.

Boom!

The attack hit empty air.

The strong man's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "Spatial translocation! No wonder this kid is so arrogant. But... is this your trump card? Everyone, attack together—trample the Tianying Imperial City!"

Rumble!

With a mighty roar, the five-army marched toward Tianying Imperial City, shaking heaven and earth.

But just then, a continuous drizzle began to fall from the sky.

"Hey, why is it raining suddenly?"

"This rain is strange—why is it green?"

"So fragrant... the rain smells like wine!"

...

The sky had been clear, but now rain suddenly fell, unlike ordinary rain—it was a patch of green, accompanied by a faint wine fragrance, intoxicating.

This strange sight made everyone stop, curious.

The leading True God Ninth Layer strong men were also curious at first.

But soon, they sensed something wrong.

"No, this rain... is problematic!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, but it was too late!

"Pfft!"

A Divine Realm martial artist suddenly spewed blood, blood oozing from all seven orifices, then fell weakly toward the ground.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

Then, one scream after another came, as they fell to the ground.

The sky rained both rain and corpses.

Wails filled the air, turning this patch of sky into a hellish scene.

Among the crowd, Yu Wenfeng's face changed the moment he saw the green rain, his scalp tingling.

An extremely dangerous feeling instantly struck him.

Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed toward Tianying Imperial City at top speed.

But it was too late.

In this space, the green rain was everywhere, seeping into every crack, impossible to avoid.

His body was already stained with raindrops.

Yet he didn't give up, using all his strength to dash toward Tianying Imperial City.

"Brother Ye, save... save me!" Yu Wenfeng shouted wildly.

He could already feel his divine energy flowing sluggishly, the terrible poison spreading through his blood to every part of his body.

Even forcing it back with divine energy had no effect.

This terrified him out of his wits.

Suddenly, a flash of light, and Yu Wenfeng felt himself wrapped in spatial force and whisked away.

His heart relaxed, and he felt immensely grateful for his earlier decision.

But the others were not so lucky.

Those Divine Realm martial artists couldn't hold out for long, dropping dead one by one.

Fortunately, the rain's range was not large, and many Divine Realm hadn't yet entered the green rain's area.

Those behind watched the struggling figures ahead, their eyes wide.

True God martial artists had abundant divine energy and lasted longer.

But only a little longer.

True God First and Second Layer martial artists began to drop dead.

"Ahhh! Help! I don't want to die!"

"Lü Yan, you've doomed us!"

"Lord Ye Yuan, we were wrong, please, save us!"

...

In the air, wails formed a chorus.

The mid-to-late True God strong men, their faces ashen, forcibly suppressed the poison with their power.

But the poison rampaged through their bodies like a primordial beast, threatening to break free.

"This... we're really done for! What kind of existence is this Ye Yuan?" a True God Ninth Layer city lord said bitterly.

"What poison is this, so strong? I... I can barely suppress it!"

"This Ye Yuan has unfathomable abilities! When gods fight, we... we mortals suffer!"

These True God Ninth Layer lords were all bitter, now regretting deeply.

Only then did they understand what Ye Yuan's warning meant.

He had truly given them a chance to live!

But they hadn't believed him, treating it as a joke.

Now they realized they were the joke!

But who could have predicted such a method?

Ye Yuan had hidden the poison in the void, using this indiscriminate method to poison everyone.

Such a method was utterly inconceivable!

...

Feeling the poison in his body gradually dissipate, Yu Wenfeng felt a survivor's relief.

His face pale, he looked at Ye Yuan with extreme reverence.

"Ye... Master, what... what poison is this, that even True God Ninth Layer can't withstand it?" Yu Wenfeng asked, still shaken.

Ye Yuan looked at Yu Wenfeng and calmly uttered three words: "Thyme."
