Chapter 2098: Invitation from the Red Feather High Priest

Those who have not truly entered the door of the law of space can hardly imagine how profound this law is.

The higher the realm, the more adept one becomes at wielding the law of space, which in turn creates an illusion that one is already quite formidable in the law of space.

However, if it can be called a supreme law, how could the law of space be so simple?

A martial artist's understanding of the law is only one aspect; the subtlety of its application lies in the mind.

With Ye Yuan's attainments in the law of space, he was certainly no match for a Heavenly Sovereign, but if a Heavenly Sovereign wanted to kill him, it would not be as simple as a single palm strike ending his life.

Clearly, Hao Feng Heavenly Sovereign had misunderstood this.

In fact, the Heavenly Sovereigns present had all been fooled by Ye Yuan.

"Alright, you've had your try. Can you give up now? Lie Feng, send him on his way!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Eh, sure! Haha, the Sub-Saint is truly formidable; otherwise, Old Bear here would have had to go through a lot of trouble to kill him!" Lie Feng Heavenly Sovereign rubbed his hands together, looking extremely excited.

He and Hao Feng were the foremost figures of the demon race and the human race, having fought each other for countless years.

Today, he could finally annihilate this fellow—how could he not be excited?

With a single palm, Lie Feng brought forth terrifying might, directly blasting Hao Feng Heavenly Sovereign to death.

Thus perished the once-invincible Hao Feng Heavenly Sovereign, Lord of the Extreme North.

As for Ruo Feng Heavenly Sovereign, he was naturally even less of a concern; under the joint assault of the demon race Heavenly Sovereigns, he soon fell in battle.

"Young master!"

At that moment, Lü'er's figure slowly emerged from the void, like a celestial maiden descending to the world.

Even the demon race Heavenly Sovereigns present couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.

Ye Yuan looked at Lü'er and couldn't help but sigh. The frail little girl of yesteryear had now grown into a graceful young lady.

Now, Lü'er was in no way inferior in appearance to the two divine maidens, Li'er and Mu Lingxue.

Moreover, Lü'er's Profound Yin Body endowed her with an icy, pure temperament, like an ethereal fairy.

"Heh, it's all in the past! From now on, your young master won't let you suffer the slightest harm!" Ye Yuan gently stroked Lü'er's head and smiled.

Lü'er nodded and said, "It's Lü'er who has caused trouble for young master."

Not far away, Yang Fei'er watched this scene with envy.

In the Ice Cloud Palace, Yang Fei'er had the closest relationship with Lü'er, so she naturally knew about the young master Lü'er always had in her heart.

But in her view, that so-called young master was utterly unworthy of Lü'er.

Lü'er had unparalleled talent and would likely face no obstacles in attaining the Heavenly Sovereign Dao in the future, while that young master was merely an alchemist from a small imperial city.

A thousand years later, the two would no longer be on the same level.

But when she learned of Ye Yuan's identity, Yang Fei'er was utterly shocked.

Lü'er's young master actually had such monstrous talent!

If it were just talent, that would be one thing, but the series of events that followed left her stunned beyond words.

He destroyed He Xiangyun with his fists, slew Feng Tianyang with his sword, and with a single shocking strike, blasted Ice Cloud Heavenly Sovereign to death.

Now, even Hao Feng Heavenly Sovereign, the lord of the Extreme North human race, had died at his hands.

Not only that, but he had also become the Sub-Saint of the demon race, and even Lie Feng Heavenly Sovereign, whom Hao Feng Heavenly Sovereign greatly feared, was subservient to him.

A man of such heroic stature—what woman could not admire him?

Yang Fei'er let out a faint sigh, actually feeling a bit envious of Lü'er.

After comforting Lü'er for a while, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke, "You've been watching for so long; why not show yourself?"

Lie Feng and the other Heavenly Sovereigns looked at each other in confusion, scanning their surroundings but finding no trace of anyone else.

Suddenly, a ripple spread through the space, and a figure slowly coalesced like ripples into an old man.

The old man had a goatee and looked very amiable.

Lie Feng looked at the newcomer, his eyes wide with shock.

Even he, a Seventh Heaven Heavenly Sovereign, hadn't detected the newcomer—yet Ye Yuan had?

No wonder the Saint Ancestor High Priest held the Sub-Saint in such high regard; he was truly extraordinary!

Previously, his reverence for Ye Yuan had mostly come from the Saint Ancestor High Priest.

But now, he realized that this Sub-Saint was truly not simple.

What shocked him even more was that, with his strength, he couldn't see through the depth of this goateed old man!

The goateed old man bowed to Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "This old servant is Gongyang Lie, a humble attendant by the side of the Red Feather High Priest. I pay my respects to the Sub-Saint!"

Ye Yuan showed little reaction to the old man's self-introduction, but the demon race Heavenly Sovereigns present nearly had their eyes popping out.

"R-Red Feather High Priest! Lie Feng of the Extreme North pays respects to Lord Gongyang!" Lie Feng Heavenly Sovereign directly knelt down, prostrating himself fully.

"We pay respects to Lord Gongyang!" All the Heavenly Sovereigns bowed in submission.

Ye Yuan was completely baffled and asked doubtfully, "Red Feather High Priest? Who is that?"

The goateed old man frowned slightly but still explained, "The Red Feather High Priest is the eleventh disciple under the Saint Ancestor High Priest. Apart from the Saint Ancestor High Priest himself, he is one of the eleven strongest in alchemy among the demon race!"

Ye Yuan suddenly understood upon hearing this.

This Red Feather High Priest was the Saint Ancestor High Priest's youngest disciple.

Being able to serve as an attendant by the Red Feather High Priest's side was not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could do.

This goateed old man was likely a Heavenly Emperor-level expert!

Hence, Lie Feng and the others were so respectful.

Of course, even if the goateed old man were not a Heavenly Emperor, his status as an attendant to the Red Feather High Priest alone would allow him to swagger through the demon race.

"I see. What business do you have with me?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

Facing a Heavenly Emperor-level expert, Ye Yuan showed little reverence.

He saw through the Saint Ancestor High Priest's intentions clearly. Previously, when he had broken 'Mo Wen,' the High Priest had shown no reaction and instead suppressed the matter, fearing that giving him too high a status would hinder his growth.

Now that Ye Yuan had shown his edge in the Southern Domain, forcing all the Seven-Star Divine Alchemists in the region to submit, the Saint Ancestor High Priest felt the time was right and thus declared him 'Sub-Saint.'

This title of 'Sub-Saint' was not because the High Priest believed Ye Yuan's status already matched such a position.

On the contrary, Ye Yuan's current strength was utterly insufficient to bear this title!

In terms of cultivation realm, Ye Yuan was only at the True God Realm.

In terms of alchemy, Ye Yuan had only just entered the Ancestor Realm.

There were countless experts in this world, and Ye Yuan had never considered himself invincible.

Not to mention others, just the eleven disciples under the Saint Ancestor High Priest were all great figures of the demon race with unparalleled alchemy skills.

Ye Yuan was far from being a match for them now.

By giving him this title, the Saint Ancestor High Priest intended to make him a target, allowing him to grow quickly through trials.

Clearly, the High Priest had been keeping an eye on his every move.

"Hmph, this kid is so arrogant, not taking my master seriously at all. Does he really think he's the Sub-Saint?"

Seeing no trace of reverence on Ye Yuan's face, Gongyang Lie felt quite displeased.

But he didn't show it on his face and said with a faint smile, "My master's domain, the Western Spirit Region, is about to hold a grand Divine Demon Pill Convention. He has heard that the Sub-Saint is a master of alchemy and specially invites the Sub-Saint to offer some guidance."
