Chapter 2757: Racing Against Time!

Amid the vast spatial turbulence, a streak of cyan light darted about, moving at an extreme speed.

The body of a true dragon could pierce the chaotic realm walls, so traversing this vast spatial turbulence was naturally nothing.

Yan Yuzhen thought Ye Yuan would choose to cultivate because she believed he lacked the ability to break through the realms.

Even if one reached the Jade Emperor Heaven, traveling through countless planes would require a tremendous cost, more trouble than it was worth.

But she clearly hadn't expected Ye Yuan to possess the ability to traverse the void.

When he had just broken through to the Celestial Rank, Ye Yuan naturally didn't have this ability.

But now, it was as easy as turning his hand for him.

The realm walls of the lower realms were nothing compared to the chaos of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Pfft!

In just half a day, Ye Yuan's true dragon body pierced through a realm wall and arrived in a small thousand world.

Without any hesitation, his divine sense unscrupulously covered the entire world.

At this moment, the whole world trembled.

This divine sense was far too powerful.

Soon, several figures appeared before Ye Yuan.

"G-great one... are you looking for something? Is there anything we can help with?" a superior minor extreme heaven cultivator said to Ye Yuan, trembling slightly as he mustered his courage.

As he spoke, Ye Yuan's divine sense had already swept through several times.

Even the attached small worlds were thoroughly searched by Ye Yuan.

But he found no familiar figure.

Rumble...

Above the void, a terrifying heavenly tribulation was descending.

Ye Yuan glared, and the heavenly tribulation instantly dissipated!

The martial artists of the small thousand world were all dumbfounded.

Too strong!

With just a glance, he made the heavenly tribulation retreat!

"Not here..." Ye Yuan murmured, then transformed into a true dragon again and broke through the realm wall.

The several Celestial Rank experts, seeing Ye Yuan leave, all breathed a long sigh of relief.

But soon, that superior minor extreme heaven cultivator said with a trace of melancholy, "That's a true expert! I feel that with a single thought, he could crush us! We've been dominating the lower realms, but we're really just frogs at the bottom of a well! I've decided: in half a year, I'll ascend to the Heavenly Realm!"

The other Celestial Rank experts, hearing this, changed expression.

But soon, they too felt relieved.

The Tongtian Realm was just a broken small thousand world, already refined by Yan Yuzhen and merged with Tongtian Mountain.

So there was no such thing as ascension anymore.

In fact, in ordinary small thousand worlds, reaching the Celestial Rank allowed one to ascend.

However, one had to endure a terrifying heavenly tribulation!

Thus, many experts preferred to conceal their aura and not ascend to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

But Ye Yuan's appearance made them realize that such a life was nothing but self-deception.

Ye Yuan naturally paid no attention to these people's thoughts; he was just looking for someone.

In one day, Ye Yuan flew through hundreds of large and small thousand worlds.

But the result was disappointing!

He didn't find a single acquaintance!

"Kid, the Thirty-Three Heavens, each heaven governs billions of planes. Searching like a headless fly, how long will it take you?" said Mitian.

"Yan Yuzhen is also a prodigy of his generation! He reached this step not just by relying on Tongtian Mountain. I can sense that his primordial spirit body has reached great perfection, only half a step away from the True Emperor Heaven. With his talent, breaking through will probably happen within these few years! Once he breaks through to the True Emperor Heaven, though 'Life is but a Dream' is powerful, it may not kill him. And don't forget, he... is a true master of time rules! I don't want to leave my fate in someone else's hands!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Upon meeting Yan Yuzhen, Ye Yuan and Mitian realized they had underestimated him.

Originally, they thought Yan Yuzhen was at most a superior Saint Emperor Heaven.

But who knew that without a physical body, his primordial spirit body had advanced further, only half a step away from the True Emperor Heaven!

Moreover, over these billions of years, he had focused on cultivating his primordial spirit, refining it to an extreme degree.

Perhaps he lacked powerful combat strength, but his toughness was not to be underestimated.

"Life is but a Dream" was certainly useful, but how useful remained uncertain.

And once Yan Yuzhen quickly broke through to the True Emperor Heaven, the effect of "Life is but a Dream" would be greatly diminished.

Ye Yuan didn't want to pin his hopes on his opponent's mistakes.

So, he had to race against time with Yan Yuzhen!

"But these planes are countless and tangled; how will you find them?" said Mitian.

"Yan Yuzhen doesn't have a true dragon body. Though his primordial spirit body can traverse the void, it's far inferior to a true dragon's! How far can he hide those people with his ability? I'll start from the Tongtian Realm and search outward in a spiral pattern; I'll find them eventually!" said Ye Yuan.

Mitian was taken aback, then chuckled, "Good kid, I underestimated you! You're racing against time now!"

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, his movement never pausing.

A few days later, Ye Yuan arrived at another small thousand world.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow and perked up!

Here, he actually found an acquaintance!

The Holy Ancestor's High Priest, Yi!

At this moment, Yi was being besieged by several top experts.

But Ye Yuan's unscrupulous scan had brought the battle to an abrupt halt.

Too terrifying!

Ye Yuan frowned, and those around Yi instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

He took a step and arrived before Yi.

"Ye Yuan!"

Seeing Ye Yuan, Yi couldn't help but burst into tears.

His aura was completely different from the experts of this small thousand world.

Every day, he spent it being hunted.

To have survived until now was truly thanks to heaven and earth.

He wanted to say more, but Ye Yuan made a gesture, and a powerful primordial spirit force instantly invaded Yi's sea of consciousness.

Yi's whole body shook violently. Faced with Ye Yuan's rough method, he had no ability to resist and could only let him do as he pleased.

Ye Yuan activated the Divine Derivation technique, forcibly erasing Yan Yuzhen's mark, then withdrew his primordial spirit force.

Yi was inwardly horrified. How strong had Ye Yuan become now?

Even the legendary Celestial Rank couldn't achieve this, could they?

Before him, he felt like a marionette, completely out of control.

At this moment, life and death were not his own!

That feeling was just like when he had been abducted to this realm.

That helpless feeling was truly maddening.

Yi wanted to say something else, but Ye Yuan said calmly, "We'll talk on the way; I'm in a hurry!"

With that, Ye Yuan moved his divine origin and absorbed Yi into his chaotic world.

Ye Yuan didn't pause at all, once again traversing the void.

He had no time to waste; wasting a second here might cost the life of a loved one.

At the same time, Yan Yuzhen suddenly opened his eyes, pupils constricting, and muttered to himself, "Only three days, and he's found the first one? It took me half a month to send the first one out! This kid, so fast! It seems I can't delay any longer!"
