Chapter 2504: Taking Advantage of the Crisis?

Everything seemed to have settled.

But at that moment, Tianqing moved!

The five Divine Clan Patriarchs flashed and surrounded Ye Yuan!

Ye Yuan seemed unfazed, saying calmly, "You can't keep me here."

Tianqing said in a deep voice, "I know! But I will use the billions of your human race as leverage to force you to fight us five! If you don't fight, we five will go on a killing spree!"

The air suddenly fell silent!

The human race's strong had barely caught their breath when their spirits tightened again.

Tianqing's suffocating killing intent made everyone understand that this was no joke!

If Ye Yuan refused, Tianqing would absolutely go on a killing spree!

The combined force of the five Divine Clan Patriarchs was too terrifying!

Especially since among them were two Ten-Mark experts!

"This... what can be done? If it were just Tianqing alone, it might be manageable, but they have two Ten-Mark Patriarchs!"

"Despicable! Shameless! How... how can they use such shameless means to pressure Lord Qingsheng?"

"It's over! This is completely over! Fight and die, not fight and die too!"

...

From beginning to end, the pressure from the Divine Clan remained.

Two Ten-Mark Patriarchs—no one could ignore their existence.

The Divine Clan's top experts were too strong!

But no one expected the Divine Clan to use such despicable means to force Ye Yuan into battle.

Seeing this, Lin Chaotian couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Ye Yuan, this time, let's see how you can still be arrogant! Aren't you very cocky? Aren't you very contemptuous? Aren't you known as the number one through the ages? Hahaha..."

Lin Chaotian seemed insane, his face full of glee.

Ye Yuan had crippled him, crippled all his hopes!

He hated!

He wished he could devour Ye Yuan alive!

Now, Ye Yuan had aroused the Divine Clan's fear, and they didn't hesitate to use the world's people as leverage to force Ye Yuan to face them head-on!

This outcome was what he most wanted to see.

He was no match for Ye Yuan, but the five Divine Clan Patriarchs together could be!

The strength of these five Patriarchs had always been above that of ordinary Patriarchs.

Now that they had attained the Dao and become Patriarchs, their power was even more incomparable.

Ye Yuan had to die, even if he didn't want to!

"Noisy!" Tianqing snorted coldly, casually slapping over, and Lin Chaotian was directly hit with blood all over his mouth.

He wanted to laugh but couldn't anymore.

This scene seemed very comical.

But no one laughed.

Because they couldn't laugh.

The pressure from the five Patriarchs was too great.

Now, as long as Ye Yuan said a single 'no,' the five Patriarchs would surely go on a killing spree!

Surrounded by the five Patriarchs, Ye Yuan remained very calm, saying lightly, "Isn't it good now, with humans and gods each holding half of the world?"

Tianqing frowned and admitted, "You, you make me wary! As long as you exist, I cannot rest easy day or night!"

After becoming a Patriarch, Tianqing's domineering aura had returned.

He was confident that no one in this world could threaten him anymore.

Even when Lin Chaotian became a Patriarch for the second time and his strength skyrocketed, he was only wary.

But now, he couldn't sit still!

The power Ye Yuan had displayed was somewhat beyond his control.

He didn't know if Ye Yuan would become even stronger!

By then, it would be a devastating blow to the Divine Clan!

Ye Yuan turned to Yue Mengli and said, "You want to fight too?"

Yue Mengli hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slowly.

She was caught in the middle, in great pain.

Yet, she still chose to fight.

Ye Yuan sighed leisurely and said, "Since that's the case, then let's fight!"

Ye Yuan accepted the challenge, and all the strong practitioners breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the Sage of the Azure Saint's reputation as a wise man was not undeserved.

But it was only a slight relief.

It wasn't that they lacked confidence in Ye Yuan, but the power of the Five Ancestors was too formidable!

"No! Are you bullying the human race into having no one? If it's a group battle, then count me in!"

Xuanji Heavenly Emperor suddenly spoke out, his gaze sweeping through the crowd as he snorted, "You few, how long will you hide like turtles? If Ye Yuan loses, can you escape unscathed?"

The direction Xuanji Heavenly Emperor looked at was precisely where several former Dao Ancestors were!

They had been concealing their auras, hiding among the crowd.

Among the previous Dao Ancestors, the Fire Ancestor and Water Ancestor had died, and Lin Chaotian had been crippled.

In the Tongtian Mountains, due to the struggle for the Rule Crystals, the Earth, Light, and Dark Dao Ancestors had been killed.

But three still remained.

They were not fated to become Ancestors again this time.

Yet they were once Dao Ancestors, and having undergone the baptism of the Lesser Tongtian Mountains, they were still Dao Ancestor-level experts.

At this moment, how could they stand aloof?

Among the crowd, the several former Dao Ancestors fell silent.

Suddenly, the Destruction Dao Ancestor stepped forward and said with a smile, "If you want me to act, fine! But I have a condition: the Fire Source Crystal belongs to me! And you must swear a Heavenly Dao oath that after this matter, you will not hold me accountable!"

The Destruction Dao Ancestor was not stupid; he knew that even if he got the Fire Source Crystal, he would not be a match for Ye Yuan, so he set a precaution in advance.

When he said this, the Thunder Ancestor and Wind Ancestor became unsettled.

Meanwhile, the human strong practitioners were in an uproar.

"Shameless! Truly shameless! This fellow is actually exploiting the situation to profit!"

"Heh, what a fine Dao Ancestor we have! Why don't he and Lin Chaotian just die?"

"Looking at it now, it's better for the Dao Ancestor to be appointed by the Azure Saint! After all, those he brought out are all loyal and brave!"

...

The Destruction Dao Ancestor's actions immediately drew scorn.

But he didn't care!

As long as he could become an Ancestor again, he didn't care about others' opinions at all!

The Thunder Ancestor and Wind Ancestor, however, were somewhat hesitant.

After all, the only vacant Rule Crystal was the Fire Source Crystal.

Xuanji Heavenly Emperor's face turned green with anger as he roared, "Hou Sheng, you despicable villain! At a time like this, you still try to exploit the situation!"

The Destruction Dao Ancestor smiled and said, "Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost! Besides, my intervention is itself for the greater good of humanity! Why can't both be achieved?"

Hou Sheng spoke without a blush or a racing heart, feeling no shame at all.

His values were inherently different from those of Ye Yuan and the others.

A few words are more than enough when there's no meeting of minds!

He was banking on the fact that Ye Yuan had to give in, which was why he said this.

After all, facing the Five Ancestors of the Divine Race, the only path for anyone was to retreat.

Fight to the death, and only death awaits!

"No need! None of you need to act!"

At that moment, Ye Yuan, one of the Five Ancestors, spoke calmly.

And his figure instantly left the encirclement, appearing before Hou Sheng.

He looked at Hou Sheng with a mocking expression and said with a smile, "You want the Fire Source Crystal?"

Hou Sheng's expression changed drastically as he backed away repeatedly, stammering, "You... if you dare to harm me, you will definitely not be a match for the Five Ancestors!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so? To be able to speak such shameless words so grandiosely, you're truly something! So, you can die!"

A flash of sword light, and the blade struck the throat!
