Chapter 2450: You Hurt Me, and You Laugh It Off!

Stepping into this valley, Ye Yuan felt immense pressure.

This pressure was something Ye Yuan had never felt even from the Nine Dao Ancestors.

On both sides were rows of statues in various shapes and forms.

The oppressive aura emanating from each statue was no weaker than that of a late Nine-Stripe powerhouse!

Ye Yuan had seen the forms of these statues before—they were the eight statues he had encountered in the Hidden Meridian.

But the statues here were diverse in form and far more complex than those in the Hidden Meridian.

Passing through this corridor of statues, Ye Yuan arrived at the entrance of a massive cave.

The terrifying fluctuations he sensed were emanating from within.

Ye Yuan knew that this was where the true power of the Divine Race lay hidden!

Two figures appeared at the cave entrance, causing Ye Yuan's expression to stiffen abruptly.

"You're here?" Yue Mengli spoke, her tone still indescribably distant.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mm, I came to see what turned you into this."

Yue Mengli said indifferently, "This is my true self. Before, I simply hadn't awakened."

Ye Yuan felt an inexplicable pang in his heart, but still said, "I will take you home."

Yue Mengli said nothing, but her expression was one of utter disdain.

At this moment, the old man beside her laughed, "So you're Ye Yuan? Heh, this old man has waited a hundred billion years to see you!"

The old man's smile was extremely twisted, and his entire aura was chaotic.

He looked... neither human nor ghost.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be severely injured.

But Ye Yuan didn't recall ever seeing him before.

"Oh? Why do you want to see me?" Ye Yuan asked in confusion.

The old man's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he cackled, "Why do I want to see you? Hehe... It was you who made me suffer a hundred billion years of torment in the ancestral land! It was you who made me neither human nor ghost! Tell me, why do I want to see you!"

A terrifying aura instantly spread out, locking onto Ye Yuan.

That momentum was not much weaker than Yuan Xiao's!

This old man was actually an existence close to the Ancestor level!

However, Ye Yuan remained unfazed even in the face of the Nine Dao Ancestors; how could he fear an old man?

He merely shrugged and said indifferently, "How would I know? What does your suffering have to do with me?"

This expression of Ye Yuan's deeply provoked the old man.

He suddenly became extremely agitated and roared, "You reduced me to this state, and you still laugh it off? Because of you and that Xuanji Heavenly Emperor, you evaded my surveillance. Out of self-blame, I have endured a hundred billion years of being cut into pieces! Dare you say it has nothing to do with you?"

At this moment, the old man's eyes were wide with rage, frenzied beyond measure, on the verge of losing control.

Clearly, he hated Ye Yuan to the extreme!

And Ye Yuan finally caught a hint of the truth.

He showed a look of sudden realization and said, "So you are the Miluo Heavenly Master!"

Ye Yuan had once heard of this Miluo Heavenly Master from Jian Rufeng.

Back then, although Jian Rufeng and Miluo Heavenly Master had never met face to face, they had engaged in covert struggles for countless years.

Only, Miluo Heavenly Master himself was unaware of this.

However, Jian Rufeng held Miluo Heavenly Master in high regard, praising his divination skills endlessly.

Jian Rufeng was only slightly stronger than Miluo Heavenly Master.

Thus, he had to borrow the power of a hundred experts from the Jian family to obscure the heavenly secrets!

A hundred billion years ago, Ye Yuan had appeared and had also drawn the attention of Miluo Heavenly Master.

Unfortunately, Ye Yuan had traversed through time and space, and the heavenly secrets were inherently elusive.

Moreover, Ye Yuan himself was extremely difficult to predict, so Miluo Heavenly Master simply could not find him.

Furthermore, Ye Yuan's appearance was extremely brief, and he later vanished without a trace, so Miluo had never seen Ye Yuan.

Yet it was these two men he had never met who caused him endless humiliation and made him endure the torment of being cut into pieces in the ancestral land!

Only he himself understood this bitterness.

What was even more infuriating was that he had lost inexplicably!

He didn't even know who his opponent was!

It was only recently, when the legend of the Azure Profound Dual Saints spread from the human race, that Miluo Heavenly Master suddenly woke up!

Combined with the heavenly way he had calculated back then, Miluo Heavenly Master could easily deduce that Ye Yuan was the one he had been searching for but could not find!

Today, seeing Ye Yuan, this rage could no longer be suppressed and erupted!

"Hehe... Kid, so you do know this old man! You made me restless for a hundred billion years, and today you deliver yourself to my doorstep—I won't let you off!" Miluo Heavenly Master cackled.

Ye Yuan put on a pained expression and said, "Sorry about that. I do feel guilty for making you like this."

Miluo Heavenly Master sneered, "Guilty now? Too late!"

Ye Yuan quickly waved his hand and said excitedly, "Not too late, not too late. I'm just guilty that you're not miserable enough! To run into you today—this is great!"

Miluo Heavenly Master's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "You're asking for death!"

A terrifying aura erupted instantly. Miluo Heavenly Master threw a punch, and the entire space trembled.

The terrifying power of the heavenly way directly compressed the space where Ye Yuan stood to its limit.

Ye Yuan curled his lips, flickered, and vanished from the spot!

Boom!

Miluo Heavenly Master's punch hit nothing, and his expression changed drastically.

"Kid, in the ancestral land of the Divine Race, let's see where you can flee!"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Miluo Heavenly Master erupted fully, striking until the void trembled.

However, the space of this ancestral land seemed to be protected by some mysterious force and did not collapse.

Yet no matter how hard Miluo Heavenly Master tried, he could not even touch a corner of Ye Yuan's robe.

Ye Yuan laughed, "Miluo Heavenly Master, you surveilled the world for the Divine Race. How many people have died directly or indirectly by your hand? Can you count them? Your crimes are too numerous to record! A hundred billion years is not enough to atone for your sins! You feel pain now? Do you understand the suffering of the geniuses from various races who died by your hand?"

Ye Yuan's words were filled with disdain.

Miluo Heavenly Master, who surveilled the world, was also the most notorious executioner of his time!

Countless geniuses from various races had died by his hand!

Could a mere hundred billion years atone for these crimes?

Ye Yuan thought not!

Miluo Heavenly Master roared, "Bullshit! My Divine Race stands above all races! Those ants dared to resist my Divine Race—death is not enough!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan laughed heartily, "Is that so? You seem to hate me a lot. Now that I appear before you, and you can't kill me, isn't that frustrating? Is the Divine Race so great? A patriarch-level expert like you can't even handle someone like me who has just entered the Heavenly Human Realm—what a disgrace!"

Sure enough, Miluo Heavenly Master was driven mad by Ye Yuan's words. His humiliation over the years finally found an outlet.

Yet now, he could do nothing to the other party!

Nothing was more infuriating than this.
