Chapter 2239: Evened Out

The miserable screams nearly shook the entire cave to collapse.

This amount of Soul Devourer Beast saliva was enough to kill Ghost Sorrow Heavenly Emperor ten times over!

He could dodge the Soul Devourer Beast saliva in the formation, but in his current state, how could he evade Ye Yuan's time freeze?

His figure grew fainter and fainter, finally dissipating without a trace amid the screams.

Ye Yuan took Ghost Sorrow Heavenly Emperor's axe and put away this heavenly emperor spiritual treasure.

Although he didn't use axes, it was still a heavenly emperor spiritual treasure.

These heavenly emperors all had their own ulterior motives; despite the fierce battle, Ghost Sorrow Heavenly Emperor had still held back.

At this moment, Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor was also nearing his end.

A Second Heaven heavenly emperor's vitality was on an entirely different level.

He had been hit the most, yet he lasted the longest!

All the heavenly sovereigns' gazes followed Ye Yuan, and from time to time, the sound of sharp intakes of breath could be heard.

This guy was too terrifying!

"Was that just now... the True Word of the Dao?"

"Ghost Sorrow Heavenly Emperor died without injustice! They all thought they had seen through Ye Yuan's trump cards, but what he had revealed before was only a part!"

"With a wave of his hand, five of the seven heavenly emperors died and two were injured! Truly... a fearsome fellow!"

...

These ghostly heavenly sovereigns were all old monsters who had lived for who knows how many millions of years, but all their past experiences combined were not as shocking as today.

Only today did they learn that heavenly emperors could be so fragile.

Ye Yuan moved his feet and slowly walked toward Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor.

"Kid, I won't let you off!" Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor glared viciously at Ye Yuan and roared.

Ye Yuan curled his lips slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.

How could he take the threat of a dying man to heart?

However, he was quite interested in that Youluo Ghost Lamp.

"Release!"

At that moment, Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor finally gave up struggling and was dissolved by his own blade.

Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor had fallen!

Everyone's hearts trembled violently. Although they had long known the outcome, they still found it hard to believe when it actually happened.

After all, that was a Second Heaven heavenly emperor!

Ye Yuan himself was not much affected and directly reached for the Youluo Ghost Lamp.

But just as his hand was about to grab the Youluo Ghost Lamp, a warning sign suddenly arose!

"Brother Ye, be careful! Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor isn't dead!" Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Without time to think, Ye Yuan pushed the law of space to its limit and vanished from the spot.

Boom!

Where Ye Yuan had stood, the blood light blasted a vacuum.

Then, it slowly recovered.

Pfft!

Even though Ye Yuan reacted extremely quickly, he was still caught in the blast.

His gaze darkened as he looked at the Youluo Ghost Lamp.

A faint soul slowly emerged from it—who else could it be but Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor?

He looked at Ye Yuan, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "So this is your true strength. We were all fooled by you!"

The law of space Ye Yuan had just displayed was at the peak of the sixth level.

Even ordinary heavenly emperors could hardly match it.

The killing blow he had prepared for Ye Yuan had ultimately been dodged.

Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor was filled with regret!

Ye Yuan looked at Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor, his eyes flickering.

This guy had actually come back from the dead!

But now, Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's strength had dropped significantly, falling to the First Heaven.

Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor did not pursue; clearly, he was also extremely wary of Ye Yuan.

The refined Soul Devourer Beast saliva was too potent; if he got contaminated again, he would have almost no strength left to fight back.

"Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor! Heh, I underestimated your name!" Ye Yuan sneered.

Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor snorted, "This Youluo Ghost Lamp can store eight split souls and nourish them within. Each split soul is one life, so naturally I have nine lives! Otherwise, what do you think the title 'Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor' comes from?"

Ye Yuan nodded, "I see! I killed one of your lives, so we're even. If you provoke me again, I can't guarantee how many lives you'll have left!"

This was a blatant threat!

Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor's gaze turned cold. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned to look at Wu Jiang.

"You know my trump card?"

The one who had warned him was none other than Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang's expression was somewhat grim, "Back then, you and Lingyou Heavenly Emperor fought to the death over the Silver Luo Blood Essence. I happened to be present! But the result of that battle was that he fell, while you obtained the Silver Luo Blood Essence and broke through to the Second Heaven!"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Lingyou Heavenly Emperor was also a peerless expert who had emerged from the Shura Blood Sea, but he had ultimately fallen.

Unexpectedly, he had perished together with Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor.

This Youluo Ghost Lamp, a heavenly emperor spiritual treasure, was truly a great killing weapon!

Lingyou Heavenly Emperor fell, but Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor, having obtained the Silver Luo Blood Essence, broke through to the Second Heaven.

Unfortunately, this time Nine Lives Heavenly Emperor gained nothing; not only did he lose one life, but his realm also dropped.

In the end, the blood lotus was obtained by Ye Yuan.

It could be said that the gain did not outweigh the loss!

Ye Yuan flashed and appeared before Wu Jiang, saying, "Thank you for the warning just now, Brother Wu. I owe you a favor."

With that, Ye Yuan took out the blood lotus, and with a flash of sword light, he directly split it in two.

He handed half to Wu Jiang and said indifferently, "This half of the blood lotus is to repay your favor."

Around them, the heavenly sovereigns' faces showed both surprise and envy.

A single sentence in exchange for half a blood lotus—that was too easy.

Wu Jiang did not take it and said with a bitter smile, "Actually, even without my warning, Brother Ye would have been fine. I am unworthy of this blood lotus!"

It wasn't that Wu Jiang was a gentleman, but having witnessed Ye Yuan's many methods, his perception of Ye Yuan had long changed.

At first, he only thought Ye Yuan was extraordinary in strength and thus considered allying with him.

But along the way, Ye Yuan had single-handedly overcome obstacles, almost invincible at the heavenly sovereign level!

Now, he had even slain five heavenly emperors in a row!

Such achievements completely颠覆ed his understanding.

He had seen clearly just now; when he warned, Ye Yuan had already instinctively used the law of space.

So, even without his warning, Ye Yuan would not have been in much trouble.

At most, his injuries would have been slightly more severe.

Thus, it wasn't that he didn't want to accept the half blood lotus, but that he dared not.

With this half blood lotus, given his talent, he would have one more chance to break through to the Eighth Heaven!

Ye Yuan directly stuffed the half blood lotus into Wu Jiang's hand and said indifferently, "I look at the process, not the result. You deserve it!"

Along the way, Ye Yuan had had some complaints about Wu Jiang.

After all, he had allied with Wu Jiang, but Wu Jiang had never acted.

However, with that one warning just now, this half blood lotus was worth it!
