Chapter 2366: The Thunder Ancestor's Promise!

The Profound Mechanism Heavenly Emperor cast a meaningful glance at the Thunder Ancestor but did not stop him.

An Ancestor, the pinnacle of existence in this world—even the divine clan's strong ones dared not act rashly against him.

He had that right.

Though speaking up at this moment made his move seem somewhat unsightly.

But who dared to criticize him?

The Profound Mechanism Heavenly Emperor would still grant him this face, as long as he did not interfere with the名额 for the Supreme Inheritance.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Battle Realm had completely erupted.

"The Thunder Ancestor! The Thunder Ancestor himself has spoken!"

"It seems the Thunder Ancestor truly values Pang Zhen!"

"This Ye Yuan is really something—forcing an Ancestor to personally intervene! He could ignore the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Emperor's face, but he shouldn't dare to ignore an Ancestor's, right?"

...

To force an Ancestor to plead for a junior was itself an extraordinary feat.

At least among these million unpredictable sons, no one but Ye Yuan could achieve this.

After all, Pang Zhen was a strong contender for the Supreme Inheritance.

Hearing this, Pang Zhen himself nearly vomited blood.

How humiliating!

"I never thought I, Pang Zhen, would stoop to needing the Ancestor to speak for me!" Pang Zhen cursed inwardly.

Ye Yuan was also taken aback upon hearing this.

He had been wondering why Pang Zhen's lightning laws were so powerful; he never expected him to be a descendant of the Thunder Ancestor.

With the Thunder Ancestor speaking, Ye Yuan fell into silence.

Everyone watched him, waiting for his response.

After a long while, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke: "I can let him into the top eleven, but I need a promise from the Thunder Ancestor!"

The crowd gaped in disbelief.

This guy was bargaining with an Ancestor?

What audacity!

This time, it was the Thunder Ancestor's turn to fall silent.

"Speak. As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree," the Thunder Ancestor said after deliberation.

Ye Yuan said, "I ask the Thunder Ancestor to help me obtain the Tears of Life."

Hearing this, the Thunder Ancestor paused noticeably, then said, "Tears of Life! Hah, boy, you have quite the nerve! Do you even know what the Tears of Life are?"

Ye Yuan nodded: "Of course I do. That's why I ask the Thunder Ancestor to act."

He was no longer the ignorant youth he once was; he had naturally learned about the Tears of Life.

This item was a product beyond the rules, precious beyond measure!

It appeared only once every hundred million years.

And it had never left the inner circles.

Outside, there were only legends.

This thing existed only in the hands of Ancestors!

The Thunder Ancestor's tone turned cold: "That cannot be done. Choose something else."

Ye Yuan shook his head: "Sorry, I desire nothing else but the Tears of Life. Since you cannot do it, I will show no mercy."

With that, he once again activated the sword formation, intending to kill Pang Zhen.

Everyone was stunned!

This guy was truly incredible!

That was an Ancestor, and he showed no respect at all!

"Boy, you dare!" The Thunder Ancestor's furious voice came from above the void.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "These seventeen wanted to kill me. Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhi were the instigators. Since the enmity is already set, why should I let them obtain the inheritance? Though you hold supreme status, you expect me to back down with just a few words. Sorry, I cannot do that."

As he spoke, Ye Yuan pointed into the void, and countless sword beams shot toward Pang Zhen.

The millions of Unfathomable Sons stared dumbfounded.

The Nine Dao Ancestors were true supremes, absolute sovereigns!

They were the undisputed pinnacle of existence in the Tongtian Realm.

The population of the Tongtian Realm numbered in the billions, yet only nine had reached this realm.

Their words were imperial edicts, representing the Heavenly Dao.

Now, Ye Yuan was going to kill Pang Zhen right before his eyes!

Even the Profound Mechanism Heavenly Emperor wore a dazed expression.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be so unyielding.

He refused to give face to the Dao Ancestor, simply refusing—truly earth-shattering.

One must know that even he had to show the Dao Ancestor some respect!

Of course, surprise aside, he also guarded against the Thunder Ancestor.

If he dared to make a move, he himself would act.

He had initiated this battle of geniuses for the great plan of the human race, not for the Thunder Ancestor alone.

Now that Ye Yuan had clearly obtained the position of Supreme Successor, he absolutely would not allow the Thunder Ancestor to break the rules.

The Thunder Ancestor glanced at him, seeming to know his thoughts, and suddenly spoke: "Stop! Within a thousand years, the Tears of Life may reappear! I can promise you that I will help you make a move then! Whether it succeeds depends on your own fortune! This is my bottom line!"

Ye Yuan heard this and smiled radiantly: "Good, deal! Please, senior, issue a Heavenly Dao oath! This time, you must go all out!"

The Thunder Ancestor's face darkened, but he still issued the Heavenly Dao oath as instructed.

After hearing the Heavenly Dao oath, Ye Yuan finally felt relieved.

To revive Mu Lingxue, he would offend even the Dao Ancestor or tear a hole in the sky itself.

Having obtained the Thunder Ancestor's promise, Ye Yuan's sword formation suddenly turned, killing toward the others.

However, after killing one person, he unhesitatingly slew Pang Zhen.

In the end, Pang Zhen ranked eleventh, obtaining the last inheritance slot.

Seeing this, the Thunder Ancestor's face turned green with rage.

This kid truly had no regard for death!

Couldn't he at least let Pang Zhen lose gracefully?

Even getting second or third would have been fine!

The subsequent battles held no suspense; Ye Yuan killed them one by one, quickly wiping out all the Seventeen Sons.

In the vast prison, only Ye Yuan and Wan Zhen remained.

"Heh, I didn't expect that in the end, it would be Brother Wan and me facing off!" Ye Yuan laughed.

Wan Zhen smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to use this method to face me in the end. In just a few days, I am far from your match!"

Ye Yuan laughed: "Without fighting, who knows? Brother Wan is the most talented person I have ever seen!"

Wan Zhen felt moved; Ye Yuan was giving him face.

In truth, at this point, fighting or not no longer mattered.

No one would think he could defeat Ye Yuan, not even himself.

Yet Ye Yuan was giving him face.

Ye Yuan didn't even give face to the Dao Ancestor, but he gave it to him!

He suddenly realized that Ye Yuan was a man of strong principles.

What he disliked, even if you put a knife to his throat, he would not back down.

What he liked, even if you were against the whole world, he would fight alongside you!

This friend was worth making!

Suddenly, he was filled with heroic spirit and laughed heartily: "Good, then let's decide the victor! This time, don't hold back!"

Ye Yuan laughed: "Exactly as it should be!"

Their great battle lasted an entire day and night!

Ye Yuan did not go easy; Wan Zhen was indeed the most troublesome among the Unfathomable Sons.

Only at the end, after wearing down Wan Zhen's divine essence, did he slay him!

Thus, the battle of geniuses finally came to an end!
