Chapter 2184: The Strength of the Abyssal Beasts!

"Th-this guy... he's actually absorbing the demonic miasma!"

"He inhaled so much in one breath, yet he didn't explode and die!"

"Could his body be forged from starfall iron?"

...

Under the gaze of all, Ye Yuan walked leisurely into the Black Flame Cave with Lin Changqing.

He looked as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

Those Heavenly Venerate experts stared wide-eyed.

The demonic miasma was extremely violent; even inhaling a wisp would have dire consequences, let alone absorbing it like Ye Yuan did.

Seeing this, Zheng Yufeng could only smile bitterly.

He glanced at Li Yue and sneered, "Li Yue, what were you saying just now?"

Li Yue suddenly snapped back to reality and said awkwardly, "Huh? Oh, n-nothing! I didn't say anything!"

As if afraid they would keep pressing, he repeated fiercely.

"Time is of the essence; let's seal this demonic miasma quickly and enter the Black Flame Cave!" someone suggested.

Naturally, no one objected.

Over forty mid-stage Heavenly Venerate experts from the seven major powers made their move.

What a formidable sight that was!

They joined forces to set up a barrier, temporarily blocking the demonic miasma.

After about an hour of work, the barrier was finally complete.

Only then did the group of Heavenly Venerates enter the Black Flame Cave.

Once inside, it was a world utterly different from the outside.

Black smoke swirled, dim and lightless, looking eerie and terrifying.

Li Yue and the others had never seen such a place before.

"What kind of ghostly place is this?" Li Yue frowned.

Zheng Yufeng's expression was also grave. "I don't know, but... it's certainly no good place. Everyone, be careful!"

"This is the world of the Abyssal Beasts!"

Just then, a voice rang out, and two figures slowly approached from afar—it was Ye Yuan and his companion.

Behind Ye Yuan, Lin Changqing's gaze never left Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with terror.

"Abyssal Beasts? What the hell are those?" Li Yue asked, utterly confused.

The other Heavenly Venerates were also baffled; clearly, they had never heard of Abyssal Beasts.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "An extremely powerful race. In any case, everyone should be careful."

Li Yue said disdainfully, "Extremely powerful? Hah, how powerful can they be? The Tongtian Realm is ruled by us humans! Even the demons and monsters have to step aside!"

"Heh, this young friend is exaggerating! With so many mid-stage Heavenly Venerate experts here, even if a late-stage Heavenly Venerate showed up, we could still put up a fight. What's there to fear?" another Heavenly Venerate said.

As Heavenly Venerates, each had their own pride.

Moreover, these were the elite from the seven Heavenly Emperor dojos, each with numerous trump cards. Why would they care about some Abyssal Beasts?

Ye Yuan's few words were not taken seriously at all.

Li Yue's thoughts actually represented the majority of the Heavenly Venerates.

It wasn't that they didn't know the danger here, but they were extremely confident in their own strength.

After all, those who came before were only early-stage Heavenly Venerate disciples, and far fewer in number.

"Is that so? Then let's go." Ye Yuan was noncommittal and turned to walk ahead.

Li Yue curled his lip, displeased. "What a cocky brat!"

The group moved deeper, and suddenly their expressions became interesting.

Along the way, the ground was littered with black monster corpses.

Each of these monsters exuded a powerful aura; most were at the True God Realm, and many were at the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

These monsters had clearly died recently, but they all shared a common feature.

A large hole in their skulls!

So, who killed these monsters?

Obviously!

Everyone's gaze turned to Ye Yuan.

Who else could it be?

They were secretly shocked—in just about an hour, this kid had killed so many Abyssal Beasts?

But Li Yue sneered, "A Second Heaven Heavenly Venerate killed so many monsters? How strong could they be? Heh, this kid wants to show off, so he deliberately makes these monsters sound tough. In my opinion, they're nothing special!"

Another Heavenly Venerate nodded. "Killing so many in one go, these monsters are probably not as strong as ordinary humans of the same rank. But there are too many of them; we should be careful."

The Heavenly Venerates nodded in agreement; indeed, the numbers were overwhelming.

But from this, Ye Yuan's strength was still considerable, though no one was willing to admit it.

Lin Changqing opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn't speak.

Ye Yuan also didn't bother to argue; his attention was on the terrain.

He was searching for the scene where Li'er had disappeared, based on Zhuo Yuanzhi's memories.

After about half an hour's journey, the corpses on the ground gradually decreased.

Clearly, this was the limit of Ye Yuan's exploration.

Ye Yuan became alert; the Abyssal Beasts on the periphery were mostly weak, but deeper in, their strength gradually increased.

Roar, roar, roar...

Finally, a group of Abyssal Beasts of various shapes and sizes burst out, charging madly at the group.

These Abyssal Beasts were extremely ferocious and powerful; many were at the Third Heaven of the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

Li Yue only sneered disdainfully, "A bunch of scum. With such little strength, they dare to come and die? Truly foolish creatures!"

With that, he lightly pointed his finger, and a sharp, unparalleled blast of energy shot toward a leopard-shaped Abyssal Beast.

Boom!

The Abyssal Beast screeched, rolled a few times on the ground, and then scurried away.

Clearly, it had sensed Li Yue's power.

But Li Yue's expression changed, and his gaze turned serious.

He was a great expert at the Sixth Heaven of the Heavenly Venerate Realm; that finger strike would have killed or severely injured a Fourth Heaven Heavenly Venerate!

Yet this Abyssal Beast had escaped as if nothing happened.

Were these monsters really that strong?

He looked at his companions and found that the Fourth Heaven Heavenly Venerate human warriors were evenly matched against the Third Heaven Abyssal Beasts!

A chill ran through Li Yue's heart.

At the same time, it ran through everyone's hearts.

Only when they actually engaged in battle did they realize how powerful these Abyssal Beasts were!

Third Heaven Heavenly Venerate going head-to-head with Fourth Heaven?

These Abyssal Beasts could actually fight above their rank!

Fighting across ranks at the Heavenly Venerate Realm, and they were elites among human warriors.

This scene completely颠覆ed the Heavenly Venerates' understanding!

"Kill!" Several leaders' faces darkened as they made their moves.

When Fifth and Sixth Heaven Heavenly Venerate experts struck, the momentum was different.

In an instant, the Abyssal Beasts were either dead or wounded, retreating in defeat.

But the faces of these Heavenly Venerates became extremely grave.

At that moment, someone looked at Ye Yuan again and couldn't help but draw a cold breath!
