Chapter 2137: Brother Xun Has Your Back

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the dark, dense forest, several figures crisscrossed, the battle fierce.

A white figure darted among over a dozen black monsters, perilous at every turn.

Yet that white figure was extremely nimble; no matter how dangerous the situation, he always managed to turn danger into safety.

This young man in white was none other than Ye Yuan.

Nearly a year had passed since Ye Yuan entered the Dragon Eye Cave.

Ye Yuan's aura was now much stronger than when he first entered.

Over the past year, Ye Yuan had hunted thousands of sixth-rank abyssal demonic beasts and obtained a large amount of black crystals.

Of course, as the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, you'll eventually wet your shoes; Ye Yuan had naturally encountered Heaven Sovereign realm abyssal demonic beasts as well.

But Ye Yuan had long been prepared; he had set up the Space Binding Art in advance, and whenever he encountered a Heaven Sovereign realm abyssal demonic beast, he would immediately flee.

Thus, although the abyssal demonic beasts here were powerful, Ye Yuan's survival skills were even stronger.

So far, Ye Yuan had not encountered any real danger.

True·Sword Void Inscription!

With a fierce shout, the silent sword energy instantly erupted with terrifying power, and three black abyssal demonic beasts were directly blown apart.

Roar, roar...

The remaining abyssal demonic beasts seemed enraged, charging madly at Ye Yuan.

Hmph! You beasts really don't know when to die! Universe Qiankun Palm!

Ye Yuan snorted coldly and suddenly struck out with a palm.

Dragons soared across the wilderness, laughing proudly in the nine heavens.

Four or five abyssal demonic beasts were directly blown apart!

Roar, roar, roar...

The remaining abyssal demonic beasts grew even more furious, and clusters of terrifying energy fluctuations exploded around Ye Yuan.

True·Sword Void Inscription!

Another silent sword energy, Ye Yuan mercilessly reaped the lives of the abyssal demonic beasts.

After a day and night of fierce battle, Ye Yuan finally annihilated all these abyssal demonic beasts.

Whew... This batch was really formidable; even a True God Ninth Layer would probably be blown apart by their attacks. Ye Yuan let out a light breath of turbid air and said.

The strength of this batch of abyssal demonic beasts was all above True God Eighth Layer.

But their combat power was extremely terrifying; human True God Ninth Layers were no match for them at all.

Ye Yuan's current strength was infinitely close to True God Eighth Layer, and with his physical power, he was almost invincible below the Heaven Sovereign realm.

Yet even so, with his strength, he had expended great effort to slay them.

Ye Yuan collected all the black crystals and said with a smile, "Hey, this batch of abyssal demonic beasts is strong, but their black crystals are purer and more powerful. With this batch of black crystals, I should be able to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Primordial Pellet!"

Over the past year, Ye Yuan had completely treated the Dragon Eye Cave as a cultivation treasure land.

Whenever he saw a sixth-rank abyssal demonic beast, Ye Yuan's eyes would light up, and he would kill it without hesitation.

If Long Chi were here now, he would surely be furious enough to spit blood.

His seemingly clever scheme had only served as a wedding dress for Ye Yuan.

However, over the past year, Ye Yuan had also figured out some patterns of the Dragon Eye Cave world.

He now had a good sense of where was dangerous, where was safe, and where powerful abyssal demonic beasts appeared.

As long as he did not go beyond this range, there was no great danger.

This dense forest was a dangerous place, with many abyssal beasts of the late True God realm lurking.

As Ye Yuan's strength increased, the abyssal beasts in the previous area were no longer a challenge for him.

Finding a secluded spot, Ye Yuan set up a group of protective formations and began to refine the black crystals.

As the demonic aura entered his body, Ye Yuan's realm began to loosen.

A few days later, Ye Yuan's aura surged, and he finally stepped into the Eighth Heaven of the Yuan Dan realm.

"Breaking through is getting harder and harder!" Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help sighing.

"But these efforts are worth it! Although I'm now at the Eighth Heaven of Yuan Dan, in terms of the depth of my divine essence, I'm probably stronger than an ordinary True God at the Ninth Heaven! Not to mention the True God realm, even against the Venerable realm, at least I'm no longer completely powerless. Once I break through to the Ninth Heaven of Yuan Dan, with all my means, even against the First Heaven of the Venerable realm, I should be able to hold my own!"

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's gaze turned sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Li'er, wait for me to break through to the next realm, and I'll come to take you home! Lin Changqing, it's not yet two thousand years, I wonder how talented your so-called genius really is!"

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand years had passed, and Ye Yuan's longing for Li'er had never ceased for a moment.

And Lin Changqing's arrogance was also deeply etched in Ye Yuan's memory.

That Lin Changqing considered himself a genius, thinking Ye Yuan was as insignificant as an ant.

At that time, Ye Yuan had just entered the Divine God realm, while Lin Changqing was already a Venerable.

Yet a thousand years later, Ye Yuan had soared like a dragon, only one step away from the Venerable realm.

What realm had Lin Changqing cultivated to?

The previous Law Sea, as well as Yandao and Mowen, had given Ye Yuan great insights, with profound and far-reaching influence.

Regarding the next realm, Ye Yuan already had a plan in mind.

Ye Yuan had a feeling that the next realm would be vastly different.

The iron law that Venerables could not be challenged across realms would become a joke in Ye Yuan's case.

Ye Yuan was confident that once he broke through, his strength would definitely not be inferior to Lin Changqing's.

"Eh? There's someone here, and a human at that."

While he was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"Hey, Eighth Heaven of True God, and he managed to survive in Star Demon Forest? What a stroke of luck!" another person said.

"How did this human kid end up here? Could it be... he came in through a spatial rift?"

Ye Yuan turned to look and saw three young dragons, their faces full of disdain and mockery.

The leader was a young man with a scar on his face. He walked up to Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Kid, do you know what this place is?"

Ye Yuan nodded. "Dragon Eye Cave."

The scarred young man narrowed his eyes and couldn't help showing disappointment.

If he knew about Dragon Eye Cave, then he probably hadn't come in through a spatial rift.

A human could never have known about this place.

"Oh? You actually know it's Dragon Eye Cave, yet you still dare to swagger around Star Demon Forest? Ignorance truly breeds fear!" the scarred young man said with a half-smile.

Ye Yuan smiled and retorted, "Is there really any truly safe place in Dragon Eye Cave?"

The scarred young man was taken aback, choked by the retort.

This was a world of abyssal beasts; safety was only relative.

"Kid, you're lucky to have run into us. With your strength, walking alone in Star Demon Forest, you'd die without even knowing how if you encountered a powerful abyssal beast. Since we've met, you can tag along with us from now on. With Brother Xun looking out for you, you won't die so easily!" the scarred young man said.

"Alright," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.

This past year, he had been fighting alone, and it was too monotonous.

Besides, in a place like this, more people always meant more strength.

These few were clearly old hands here, familiar with the area. It would be good to learn from them.

As for words like "Brother Xun looking out for you," Ye Yuan simply ignored them.
