Chapter 2167: When Two Tigers Fight, One Must Die!

As the Dragon Source Crystal entered his body, a tearing pain immediately struck, and Ye Yuan couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

Then, a stream of primal dragon qi quickly merged into his bloodline.

Ye Yuan's flesh and bloodline were being rapidly transformed.

He could feel his body growing stronger bit by bit.

However, part of the energy contained in the Dragon Source Crystal was diverted, transforming into chaotic divine yuan and soul power.

Since breaking through to the Chaotic Realm, Ye Yuan had discovered that the divine yuan he absorbed would split into three parts.

That is to say, no matter how he cultivated now, he was simultaneously training his essence, energy, and spirit!

This way, Ye Yuan's strength would be more consolidated.

Of course, cultivation also became slower.

However, the dragon clan's primal dragon qi existed in another form.

Ye Yuan could feel a warm current flowing into the Heavenly Dragon Mark, then spreading throughout his body.

His dragon bloodline became even purer!

But after refining six Dragon Source Crystals in a row, Ye Yuan still didn't feel any sign of the Heavenly Dragon Mark awakening, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"My bloodline power has increased by at least twenty percent, and the power of my dragon clan martial arts will also increase by twenty percent! This Dragon Source Crystal is really a good thing!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in admiration.

At his level, even a one percent increase in bloodline power was extremely difficult.

Yet a few Dragon Source Crystals had boosted his bloodline power by twenty percent—truly a rare treasure.

But Ye Yuan also noticed that the effect of the Dragon Source Crystals was gradually diminishing.

Moreover, the pain of fusing the Dragon Source Crystals was also increasing.

Ye Yuan estimated that after reaching a certain number of fusions, he would probably become saturated.

After getting up, Ye Yuan didn't delay and continued searching for Dragon Source Crystals.

The more of these things, the better.

Soon, guided by the Heavenly Dragon Mark, he found a Dragon Source Crystal.

But without any surprise, another Son of the Heavenly Dragon also came looking.

"Ye Yuan!" the other exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Yuan had already seen the newcomer—it was none other than Ao Yu.

Ao Yu looked smug and sneered, "What a small world! So, have you come to your senses yet?"

Ye Yuan chuckled lightly, "Come to my senses? What's that?"

Ao Yu shook his head with a laugh, looking at Ye Yuan with pity, and said, "I really don't know where you get the nerve to act arrogant in front of me! You probably don't know that just now, Long Qi of Cloud Dragon Village was defeated by me!"

Long Qi was someone expected to rank in the top three, yet he had now been defeated by Ao Yu.

Clearly, Ao Yu's strength had skyrocketed.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan's face showed no reaction, and he said calmly, "Oh, so what?"

Ye Yuan's calmness greatly provoked Ao Yu, igniting all his anger.

Outside, Ao Qi saw the two meet and couldn't help but change expression.

As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road—the two had finally crossed paths!

Just moments ago, the Heavenly Emperors outside had experienced a shock.

The little-known Ao Yu had actually defeated Long Qi, a hot favorite for the top three!

This result stunned all the Heavenly Emperors.

They had thought Ao Yu was just a filler, but after entering the Misty Battlefield, he seemed to have activated a cheat, consecutively obtaining Dragon Source Crystals.

In the end, his Heavenly Dragon Mark underwent a second awakening, and he even awakened a second innate divine ability, making even Long Qi no match for him.

Long Zifeng, who was feeling frustrated, saw this and sneered, "Looks like these two don't get along. Now there's going to be a good show! I wonder which is stronger—this arrogant Ye Yuan or the twice-awakened Ao Yu! When two tigers fight, one is sure to get hurt! Heh heh!"

But Ao Qi sighed and said, "Not one is sure to get hurt, but one is sure to die!"

The Heavenly Emperors were startled and looked at Ao Qi in surprise.

Originally, this time was supposed to be Purple Dragon Village's moment to shine, but unexpectedly, such a turn of events occurred.

Life and death were not prohibited in the Misty Battlefield, but unless there was real enmity, few actually killed each other.

Usually, crippling the opponent and forcing them to withdraw from the Misty Battlefield was considered the end.

But now, these two powerhouses were about to fight to the death, which greatly surprised everyone.

"Ao Qi, why is that?" someone asked.

Ao Qi sighed again and recounted the grudges between the two, leaving everyone stunned.

This Ye Yuan really was a troublemaker—he had actually caused a Heavenly Emperor to die!

But many were delighted to see such a scene.

Mutual slaughter was something they relished.

"Hey, this brat Ye Yuan is so arrogant, he probably never expected Ao Yu to have a second awakening! Even if he's a perfect seven-turn, he can't be Ao Yu's match relying solely on martial arts!" Long Zifeng sneered.

He left half a sentence unsaid: it would be best if they both ended up crippled and withdrew from the Misty Battlefield!

The other Heavenly Emperors also agreed with Long Zifeng's words.

Long Tianyu nodded and said, "After the second awakening, both bloodline power and innate divine abilities have risen by more than one level. Ye Yuan hasn't awakened even once, so he can't comprehend innate divine abilities. Therefore, he has almost no chance of winning!"

Long Xiaochun immediately objected upon hearing this, retorting, "Just wait and see—Ye Yuan will definitely knock him down!"

The Heavenly Emperors couldn't help but laugh.

Battles weren't decided by emotions.

A perfect seven-turn was indeed strong, but every Son of the Heavenly Dragon was the elite among elites.

In terms of physique, they were also close to perfection.

Although there was a gap in this regard, it wasn't insurmountable.

The innate divine ability from a second awakening could make up for that gap!

Moreover, everyone had already seen Ao Yu's combat prowess earlier.

Long Qi had used his second innate divine ability but still lost to Ao Yu.

Therefore, they didn't favor Ye Yuan.

"Hmph! Ignorant fool, you have no idea what it means to defeat Long Qi! I have already undergone a second awakening and comprehended a second divine ability. Even if you had heaven-defying powers, you won't escape alive today!" Ao Yu sneered.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly, "Is that so? Then show me your best move. Don't disappoint me."

Ao Yu's gaze turned cold, his blood surging like fire.

A massive true dragon phantom slowly solidified behind him!

Dragon Overlord Pagoda!

But Ao Yu's Dragon Overlord Pagoda was far stronger than Long Zheng's.

The true dragon was also much more solid.

Such was the power of a second awakening!

Feeling the immense power from the opposite side, Ye Yuan's lips curled into a playful smile, and he chuckled, "Interesting! It can force out some of my strength!"

Ye Yuan formed his hands into a Tai Chi shape, and a giant dragon emerged.

The third form of the Qiankun Dragon Claw—Great Universe Qiankun Palm!

Boom!

The void shook violently, the Dragon Overlord Pagoda shattered directly, and the Great Universe Qiankun Palm, with unstoppable momentum, slammed into Ao Yu.
