Chapter 2448: Not a Shameful Thing

"Oh, really? It does look quite intimidating."

Faced with Xin's three great Dao True Martial arts, Ye Yuan appeared very calm.

He casually extended a hand and called out, "Sword, come," and the Sword of Time and Space materialized.

The biting cold made Xin's expression change.

He hadn't expected Ye Yuan to also be able to condense a light sword out of thin air.

"Then let me see just how strong these three great Dao True Martial arts aimed at me really are," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Xin's anger was instantly ignited.

Ye Yuan didn't take him seriously at all!

"You're asking for death!"

Xin gritted his teeth, his wings vibrating slightly as his body tore through the void, arriving a hundred zhang in front of Ye Yuan.

His speed was incredibly fast!

He twisted his wrist, and the Void Blade slashed down, tearing a rift in the void.

At the same time, layers of frost formed around Ye Yuan.

The space around him was frozen solid!

The three great Dao True Martial arts erupted simultaneously, their power truly formidable.

The watching divine sons were extremely excited, already impressed by Xin's strength.

"Die!"

Xin roared as the Void Blade slashed down without hesitation.

Just then, Ye Yuan moved.

Without any earth-shattering strike, not even using spatial laws, he simply met the Void Blade with an ordinary sword stroke.

The frost before him was cut in two.

The so-called imprisonment became a joke.

Xin's pupils contracted; he hadn't expected the light sword in Ye Yuan's hand to be so sharp!

In an instant, sword and blade clashed!

Crack... crack, crack!

The Void Blade in Xin's hand developed fine cracks.

Pfft!

Xin was struck as if by a heavy blow, his entire body sent flying.

The Void Blade in his hand shattered into pieces!

With one hard clash, the three great Dao True Martial arts collapsed.

Ye Yuan had won decisively!

Xin spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Ye Yuan in shock.

Everyone stood dumbfounded, unable to believe what they had just seen.

Three great Dao True Martial arts, with a higher realm than Ye Yuan, yet defeated in a single move?

Wasn't that too absurd?

"No... no way? Lord Xin couldn't even withstand one move?"

"Lord Xin is already a top expert among Nine-Emblem cultivators, yet he was defeated across realms by a human? Who... who is he?"

"When did the human race produce such a talented expert?"

...

The divine sons felt their worldview completely shattered.

The mighty divine race had lost to the human race!

"Is this the result of your years of hard training? So weak!" Ye Yuan pointed his sword at Xin, his face full of disappointment.

Xin was indeed strong, but still inferior to Tian He after his injury, so how could he be a match for Ye Yuan?

Moreover, Ye Yuan was now much stronger than when he had just broken through.

Xin looked utterly dejected. He had trained so hard for so long, nearly dying several times, all for today.

Since his last defeat, his strength had soared over the years, and he thought he could avenge that loss.

Who would have thought he would lose in a single exchange?

The three great Dao True Martial arts were as fragile as sand sculptures before Ye Yuan, crumbling at a touch.

Before the fight, he thought he was extremely strong.

But after the fight, as Ye Yuan said, he was too weak!

"Impossible! How... how could I lose to you? This can't be! How much hardship have I endured over the years, all to defeat you! I won't lose! I won't lose!" Xin roared.

Ye Yuan smiled faintly. "You've only focused on training, probably unaware of the major events outside over the years. If you knew, you wouldn't be so naive. But... it doesn't matter now. Tell me about Li'er, or... die."

Ye Yuan spoke lightly, as if chatting with a friend.

But everyone could tell he wouldn't hesitate to kill Xin.

Xin and Yuan Jiu were the culprits who took Li'er away back then; Ye Yuan felt no qualms about killing him.

"Hmph! Kill me if you want! I won't tell you a word even if I die!" Xin roared.

"Oh, then die."

Ye Yuan merely said "oh" lightly, thrusting the Sword of Time and Space forward to kill.

The divine sons' expressions changed drastically, not expecting Ye Yuan to be so decisive.

Just then, Ye Yuan's expression shifted, and he teleported away.

The space rippled slightly, and an old man stepped out from the void before Xin, accompanied by Yuan Wei.

As soon as the old man appeared, Ye Yuan felt an immense pressure.

The old man looked like an ordinary elder.

Too ordinary!

There was only one explanation: this old man was too strong!

"Hehe, as expected of the Eternal Green Saint, such keen perception!" the old man laughed.

Ye Yuan frowned slightly. "Are you... the Xuan Vein Ancestor?"

The old man nodded slightly, admitting, "I am Yuan Xiao, the Xuan Vein Ancestor."

Xin was shocked; he hadn't expected to disturb the Ancestor!

"Lord Yuan Xiao, I... I have disgraced the Xuan Vein!" Xin knelt and kowtowed.

Yuan Xiao smiled. "Losing to the Green Saint is nothing shameful. Get up."

Xin was bewildered, not understanding.

Yuan Wei signaled him not to speak and just listen.

Yuan Xiao looked at Ye Yuan. "The Green Saint's status is so noble; there's no need to argue with the younger generation. Xiao Li is different from them; she isn't training in the Celestial Battlefield. You won't get anything by asking. How about coming to my place, and I'll tell you about it?"

Ye Yuan frowned deeply, displeased with Yuan Xiao's form of address.

Still, he nodded. "Fine!"

"Please!" Yuan Xiao slightly turned and made a gesture.

Ye Yuan said nothing, moving and merging into the void.

Everyone present was stunned.

Until Yuan Xiao's figure disappeared, the entire Celestial Battlefield fell into dead silence.

The Ancestor was so polite to a human?

Was this for real?

Xin, in particular, looked as if his eyes would pop out.

He thought the Ancestor had come to help him kill Ye Yuan, but instead, he was so courteous to him.

"Lord Yuan Wei, what... what is going on?" Xin asked, dumbfounded.

Yuan Wei sighed. "Ye Yuan is no longer the Ye Yuan of old! You've been in seclusion all these years and don't know what's happened outside. Our divine race's defeat was caused by him!"

Yuan Wei didn't hide anything and briefly recounted Ye Yuan's deeds.

After finishing, Yuan Wei patted Xin's shoulder and sighed. "Losing to him is not a shameful thing. You should know that the nine human Dao Ancestors all suffered a great loss at his hands! Otherwise, with his cultivation level, how would he dare enter the Abyss World?"

With that, Yuan Wei turned and left.

Xin stood frozen, feeling terrible.

Anyone who heard about Ye Yuan's deeds would probably feel the same.

Xin was now merely replicating Yuan Wei's reaction from back then.
