Chapter 2035: Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign

"Ye Yuan, Purple Spirit Divine Grade!"

"Qingyu Heavenly Sovereign, Extreme Peak Grade!"

"Jiuhao Heavenly Sovereign, Extreme Grade!"

……

Five Heavenly Sovereigns were defeated, then another five came, but the result was still the same—complete defeat!

After five or six rounds in a row, the results were all the same.

Ye Yuan was always Purple Spirit Divine Grade, while the others were either Extreme Peak Grade or Extreme Grade.

In short, none could break through the bounds of Heaven Grade.

Soon, those Heavenly Sovereigns began to sense something amiss.

"Hiss... This isn't right!" Liuming Heavenly Sovereign frowned.

Beside him, his friend Chengfeng Heavenly Sovereign smiled and said, "Heh, you've noticed too? This Master Ye is no simple character!"

Liuming Heavenly Sovereign said in surprise, "You saw it long ago?"

Chengfeng Heavenly Sovereign laughed, "The order of appearance is based on the strength of the Heavenly Sovereigns, that is, their seating order. Those who have come up now are ranked around forty or fifty, and they are far stronger than Brother Long Yi and the others. Logically, even if Master Ye is powerful, someone should have broken through to Heaven Grade by now. But so far, not a single one has managed to reach Heaven Grade!"

"That is to say, Master Ye still has strength in reserve! This... Could it be that his strength can truly reach the level of a Grandmaster?"

Liuming Heavenly Sovereign was truly astonished!

Originally, he thought Ye Yuan was only extremely skilled in deduction, perhaps slightly lacking in practical ability.

But who could have imagined that Ye Yuan's practical ability was even more terrifying than his deduction?

What a monstrous young man!

Chengfeng Heavenly Sovereign smiled and said, "I don't know if he has the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign, but I am very curious now—who can actually force out his true strength?"

By now, no one doubted Ye Yuan's monstrous talent; everyone was just eager to see who could force him to reveal his full power.

As the battles went on, the five-star and six-star Divine Pills Masters below had long since shifted from surprise to admiration for Ye Yuan's strength.

They were different from those Heavenly Sovereigns. In the eyes of seven-star Divine Pill Masters, Ye Yuan was just a junior. A junior riding over their heads naturally displeased them.

But Ye Yuan was the same age as these juniors. When a peer possessed such terrifying alchemy strength, what could they do but admire?

After ten rounds, Ye Yuan had won all of them without a single opponent reaching Heaven Grade.

Such a result was too unexpected.

"Master Ye is truly formidable! From today on, he is my idol. I hope to one day stand before him."

"Give it a rest! Weren't you the one who said he was arrogant and didn't know his place?"

That person's face reddened as he argued, "Th-That was before I knew! Before this, who could imagine that a six-star Divine Pill Master could reach such a level?"

"True enough. Today has been an eye-opener!"

……

After ten rounds, Ye Yuan had defeated fifty seven-star Divine Pill Masters. Regardless of whether he won or lost from then on, he had already earned the frenzied worship of these juniors.

"Swoosh!"

A figure leaped into the air and landed on the stage, a look of contempt on his face.

"It's Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign! Finally, it's his turn!"

"What, is Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign very powerful?" someone asked in confusion.

"Heh, powerful is an understatement! Do you know why Lord Piaoyu started with Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign and had Master Ye fight them one by one?"

"This... Is there some significance?" He had originally thought it was just a casual remark, but now it seemed otherwise.

That Sacred Land disciple was clearly showing off, saying smugly, "Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign ranks twenty-fifth among all Heavenly Sovereigns. All seven-star Divine Pill Masters before him are at the middle stage of the Dao Realm. But starting from him, they are all great experts at the late stage of the Dao Realm!"

"So that's it! Starting from Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign, the strength has taken a whole step up!"

Gasps of surprise arose all around as they finally understood the difference.

The Dao Realm is an extremely long stage. Even at the same middle stage of the Dao Realm, the pills refined could vary greatly.

And advancing from the middle stage to the late stage of the Dao Realm is an incredibly difficult step.

Only by taking this step could one be considered a top-tier seven-star Divine Pill Master.

Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign was clearly such a powerhouse!

"Wait! If that's the case, then Master Ye must already be at the late stage of the Dao Realm!"

Soon, someone realized this and thought of Ye Yuan.

Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign was the watershed for the late stage of the Dao Realm. If Ye Yuan had defeated all the middle-stage Dao Realm experts, didn't that mean he was very likely at the late stage of the Dao Realm?

A late-stage Dao Realm expert over a thousand years old...

When the crowd realized this, they all gasped.

With Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign as a reference, they could better appreciate Ye Yuan's monstrous talent.

For a six-star Divine Pill Master, entering the Dao Realm was already the limit, let alone the middle stage—even the peak of the early stage was unimaginable.

Because once one entered the Dao Realm, the difficulty of comprehending the Dao of alchemy would skyrocket, requiring countless years of accumulation.

And that long period was enough for these geniuses to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Previously, everyone's guesses about Ye Yuan's strength had mostly been at the middle stage of the Dao Realm.

But now, Ye Yuan had suddenly risen a step, reaching the late stage of the Dao Realm.

This shift left everyone feeling too amazed... and absurd.

The Sacred Land disciple who had been showing off was also stunned; he clearly hadn't thought of this either.

"This... Although Master Ye is indeed a prodigy, he cannot be a match for Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign. After all, Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign has spent no short time at the late stage of the Dao Realm!" said the Sacred Land disciple.

The others nodded in agreement. Even a prodigy had to have limits. A late-stage Dao Realm expert over a thousand years old was already unimaginable.

For Ye Yuan to continue crushing everyone would be too unreasonable.

But now, none of these juniors felt it was inappropriate for Ye Yuan to sit in the Grandmaster seat.

At such a young age, he had already surpassed eighty percent of the Heavenly Sovereigns. His future achievements would definitely not be inferior to these Grandmasters, perhaps even surpassing them.

"Ye Yuan, I indeed underestimated you. I didn't expect that at such a young age, you are already at the late stage of the Dao Realm. But you are too arrogant and too conceited! You shouldn't have used the Grandmaster Token as a bet to challenge all seven-star Divine Pill Masters. With me, you stop here. You can only withdraw from the Cloud Alchemy Conference in disgrace!" Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign looked at Ye Yuan with a disdainful expression.

Both at the late stage of the Dao Realm, he had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years longer than Ye Yuan—how could he possibly lose?

Nevertheless, Ye Yuan's talent truly surprised him.

In fact, he was somewhat envious.

With Ye Yuan's talent, surpassing him was only a matter of time.

Therefore, he had made up his mind to thoroughly crush Ye Yuan's spirit, strip him of all his pride, and nip this genius in the bud!

Geniuses are dazzling, but they are also fragile.

The greater the genius, the prouder they are, and the faster they wither after a blow!

With this thought, Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign felt a secret thrill.

"Oh? Is that so? Forcing me to withdraw from the Cloud Alchemy Conference—you, are not qualified!" Ye Yuan looked at Aoyun Heavenly Sovereign and said calmly.
