Chapter 2469: The Dao of Devouring!

Ye Yuan looked at the newcomer and was somewhat surprised.

His Chaos Primordial Spirit had extremely strong perception, so this person naturally could not escape his detection.

However, the appearance of this person caught him off guard.

This person was actually Medicine Ancestor's eldest disciple, Changle Heavenly Emperor!

If Medicine Ancestor had appeared here, Ye Yuan would not have been surprised at all.

But it turned out to be Changle Heavenly Emperor.

This somewhat honest-looking eldest disciple showed no sharpness whatsoever.

Back when Cloudheart Realm collapsed, Medicine Ancestor's disciples either died or fled, long since vanished without a trace.

Who would have thought that today, Changle Heavenly Emperor would appear before him.

Ye Yuan looked at Changle and said, “Brother Changle seems… not what he used to be! You followed us all the way, yet managed to evade the perception of the Dao Ancestors!”

Changle stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, “But I didn’t evade the perception of Lord Qingsheng, did I? Truly astonishing—Lord Qingsheng’s soul is so powerful that even the Dao Ancestors couldn’t kill him!”

Over the years, Changle had been in seclusion in a small world.

Only in recent years did Changle return to the Tongtian Realm and survive the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

Now, Medicine Ancestor’s alchemy Dao had been fully digested by him.

His strength was only a step away from the Dao Pill.

Thus, he planned to seek out his final target for devouring: Ye Yuan!

As long as he devoured Ye Yuan, he would surely reach the Dao Pill realm!

Who would have thought that the world had changed so much, and that little fellow who once provoked Medicine Ancestor had transformed into the Eternal Qingsheng.

Upon learning this news, Changle Heavenly Emperor was truly shocked.

But fortunately, Ye Yuan had fallen out with the nine Dao Ancestors, giving him an opportunity.

Indeed, this time he had been observing the battle around the Qiyuan Mountain Range and finally found his chance.

Ye Yuan had actually left his body!

So he followed all the way here.

But along the way, he was stunned speechless.

Six Dao Ancestors took turns attacking, killing Ye Yuan dozens of times, yet Ye Yuan’s soul was completely unharmed!

Such a thing was simply too outrageous!

He had lived a long life but had never seen anything so insane.

Unkillable!

But soon, Changle’s shock turned into ecstasy.

His Dao of Devouring was primarily aimed at the soul.

If he could absorb Ye Yuan’s soul, wouldn’t he become an immortal body?

In the future, what would Dao Ancestors amount to?

Now that the world had changed, Dao Ancestors were no longer so unattainable.

That pig had even overthrown a Dao Ancestor, hadn’t it?

Ye Yuan looked at Changle and smiled, “Heh, Brother Changle seems quite interested in me.”

Changle did not hide it and nodded, “We both pursue the supreme alchemy Dao, so naturally I am interested in you. Last time in Cloudheart Realm, I really wanted to have a bout with Brother Ye. Unfortunately, my master had already given orders, so I didn’t have that fortune. I wonder if Brother Ye would fulfill this long-cherished wish of mine?”

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised. Had Changle Heavenly Emperor taken such a great risk to follow him all the way just to compete in alchemy?

He wouldn’t believe that even if he were beaten to death!

Changle Heavenly Emperor appeared very honest and loyal, but when Ye Yuan faced him, he always felt a sense of danger.

Ye Yuan did not immediately agree but asked, “I remember you fled Cloudheart Realm together with Medicine Ancestor back then. Where is he?”

Changle smiled amiably, unconcerned, “Dead!”

Ye Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly. This guy said it so lightly!

His own master was dead, yet he spoke as if it were a trivial matter.

Still, Medicine Ancestor was a generation’s hegemon and indeed a genius in alchemy.

But who would have thought he would end up like this?

Without thinking, Ye Yuan could guess what had happened between master and disciple.

Changle Heavenly Emperor was the kind of person who seemed loyal but was actually treacherous.

He appeared very honest and harmless, but was actually extremely dangerous.

Such people were the easiest to let one’s guard down.

In Cloudheart Realm, Changle Heavenly Emperor’s presence was not strong, even less than his junior brother Yaoshu Heavenly Emperor.

But in the end, it was he who had the last laugh!

Changle smiled, “Brother Ye is a smart man, so I’ll speak plainly. I have obtained all of my master’s inheritance and am only half a step away from the Dao Pill realm! I need a powerful opponent to help me cross this threshold. I wonder if Brother Ye would oblige?”

Ye Yuan frowned slightly, “Are you really just looking for an alchemy duel with me?”

Changle Heavenly Emperor laughed, “If I wanted to harm Brother Ye, I would have struck long ago. Why waste words? Besides, Brother Ye’s soul is unkillable even by Dao Ancestors, so why fear my actions?”

Ye Yuan did not hesitate and shook his head, “Sorry, I do not engage in alchemy duels with those who betray their masters.”

With that, Ye Yuan turned to leave.

But at that moment, the sky suddenly darkened.

A tremendous suction force grabbed Ye Yuan’s Chaos Primordial Spirit, making it impossible for him to break free!

His movement technique could not be activated.

Ye Yuan’s pupils contracted as he turned to look at Changle Heavenly Emperor.

Behind Changle, a huge black wheel was silently turning.

The terrifying suction force came from that massive wheel.

The wheel seemed capable of devouring everything!

“Heh, since you refuse a toast, I can only force you to drink a forfeit! This is my Dao—the Dao of Devouring! The souls that have died under my Dao of Devouring number thirty-five thousand and seventy-eight! Among them is that dead ghost Medicine Ancestor. As long as I devour you, I will attain the Great Dao and reach the Dao Pill realm!” Changle Heavenly Emperor still spoke with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha.

But his smile now appeared sinister.

Ye Yuan’s expression changed as he felt his soul being involuntarily drawn in.

Such powerful soul force!

His Chaos Primordial Spirit could withstand the might of Dao Ancestors without dying, yet it could not resist this terrifying devouring force!

Changle Heavenly Emperor’s soul was the strongest Ye Yuan had ever seen.

Ye Yuan felt that even if his soul was not as good as the Chaos Primordial Spirit, it was not far off.

Changle Heavenly Emperor had devoured too many souls and turned them into his own, allowing his soul to grow to an unimaginable level.

Coupled with his bizarre and unpredictable Dao power, it gave Ye Yuan an extremely dangerous feeling.

No wonder Medicine Ancestor had died at Changle’s hands.

Taken by surprise, how could Medicine Ancestor withstand such devouring force?

If Ye Yuan had his complete body now, he could cleave Changle Heavenly Emperor with one sword strike.

But unfortunately, he was now in soul form!

Ye Yuan had not expected that there was someone in the Tongtian Realm who could threaten his Chaos Primordial Spirit.

Rumble…

From within the black wheel, a huge black hand reached out and grabbed at Ye Yuan.

The black hand seemed to have a magical power, pressing down on Ye Yuan so that he could not move.

Pfft!

The black hand grabbed out and plunged directly into Ye Yuan’s soul body.

Ye Yuan’s pupils sharply contracted as he felt his soul force gush out like a floodgate opened!
