Chapter 283: Luo Qingfeng's Fangs!

Ye Yuan stood at the eye of the storm, his robes fluttering.

At this moment, the violent primal energy around him was almost suffocating.

And Ye Yuan's breakthrough had now entered a critical stage.

Such狂暴 primal energy would be impossible for ordinary people to even refine, let alone break through a realm.

However, the flow of primal energy inside Ye Yuan formed a stark contrast with that outside his body.

The moment the violent and condensed primal energy entered Ye Yuan's body, it immediately became docile.

Before the "Spirit Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art," this level of primal energy was truly insignificant.

But at this moment, the primal energy was too abundant. Ye Yuan refined it continuously and soon reached the critical point of the seventh level of Spirit Liquid.

"He's about to break through, just a little more! I hope Ye Yuan will be okay!"

"How could anything happen now? The most dangerous time is after the breakthrough. Breaking through a bottleneck requires a massive amount of primal energy, like a flood bursting through a gate. But once that gate opens, closing it is not so easy!"

"Yes! Normally when we break through, we gather a primal energy storm corresponding to our realm so we can control it. But now this primal energy storm has far exceeded the limit Ye Yuan can withstand. Once the gate opens, I'm afraid... it will be a breach!"

Seeing Ye Yuan about to break through, the severely injured Li Changyu gloated, "A mere Spirit Liquid realm dares to break through in such a violent primal energy storm? He doesn't know how to spell 'death'! In a moment, when you see him blown to pieces, I wonder what expressions your Cloud Soaring Sect people will have, hehe!"

Just then, Ye Yuan's aura suddenly surged, becoming much stronger than before.

Clearly, he had broken through the bottleneck of the seventh level of Spirit Liquid in one go!

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and many even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching, not wanting to see Ye Yuan burst apart.

At the same time, the primal energy around Ye Yuan became even more turbulent, turning into a misty state, showing how dense the primal energy was at the storm's center!

The thick fog obscured Ye Yuan's figure, and the outside world could no longer see what was happening inside, but everyone knew that Ye Yuan was now battling the flood-like primal energy.

"He's dead! He's dead! This kid is quite talented to be able to set up such a powerful third-tier spirit gathering formation. The primal energy at the array's eye is nearly liquid. Even if I were breaking through at the array's eye, I would probably have burst by now, let alone a seventh-level Spirit Liquid cultivator." Li Changyu directly pronounced Ye Yuan's death sentence.

"Sect Master, Ye Yuan..." said the disciple who had previously received Li Changyu, worried.

Luo Qingfeng took a deep breath and sighed, "At this moment, only Ye Yuan himself can help Ye Yuan. I hope he can come out alive."

These words sounded somewhat lacking in confidence; under such circumstances, the chance of escaping alive was too slim!

...

Time passed bit by bit, and there was still no movement at the array's eye. Everyone's hopes were gradually dashed.

If Ye Yuan could come out, he would have come out long ago. Now, this situation... I'm afraid it's more bad than good.

At this moment, Li Changyu took a pill to control his internal injuries and returned to Luo Qingfeng's side.

"Sect Master Luo, I think there's no need to wait. With no movement for so long, that kid has probably already exploded into a pulp by now." Li Changyu said smugly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng's entire demeanor turned cold, and Li Changyu immediately felt a powerful pressure sweeping over him.

"I've been tolerating you for your master's sake, but do you think the Nethercloud Sect is a pushover? If your master were here, I'd still be wary, but a Condensation Crystal Realm cultivator like you dares to go too far in my presence? Do you take me for a mud doll?"

Luo Qingfeng's overwhelming aura, half a step into the Soul Sea Realm, pressed down on Li Changyu, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Changyu's repeated provocations had finally angered the sect master.

A sect master like Luo Qingfeng was no pushover. He had been swallowing his pride only to bide his time, buying the younger generation of the Nethercloud Sect a chance to grow.

But now, with Ye Yuan's fate unknown and the sect's greatest hope about to be dashed, Luo Qingfeng had lost his last shred of patience.

Once a tiger bares its fangs, there is little room for someone like Li Changyu, who bullies others by virtue of his master's power.

Luo Qingfeng unleashed his full aura, and Li Changyu felt as if a mountain were pressing down on him, his teeth chattering.

Only then did Li Changyu realize that this seemingly weak and incompetent sect master of the Nethercloud Sect possessed such formidable strength.

Such powerful pressure, Li Changyu had only felt from his own master.

Could it be that Luo Qingfeng's strength was no less than his master's?

How was that possible?

"You... you dare touch me? I... I am... an envoy of the Heavenly Firmament Sect! You... aren't you afraid of triggering a sect war?" Li Changyu said through gritted teeth.

Luo Qingfeng sneered, "You'd better pray that Ye Yuan is unharmed, or I'll use you as a sacrifice today! Sect war? Do you think you alone can start a sect war? You overestimate yourself! If the Heavenly Firmament Sect could destroy my Nethercloud Sect so easily, would they have waited until now?"

Hearing this, Li Changyu suddenly came to his senses. His face turned pale, and his legs gave way, sending him kneeling to the ground.

"The eight great sects each have their strengths and check each other. My Nethercloud Sect may not be as strong as your Heavenly Firmament Sect, but a sect war affects the whole. Isn't your sect master afraid that the other seven sects will unite? After all, our fate today could be theirs tomorrow! The sect masters are no fools; they understand this logic."

Every word from Luo Qingfeng struck home, making Li Changyu's face grow paler.

The disciples of the Heavenly Firmament Sect were used to being arrogant, and the Nethercloud Sect had always kept a low profile, so Li Changyu thought the Nethercloud Sect was a soft persimmon to be squeezed at will, even disregarding Luo Qingfeng.

Now it seemed he was nothing but a clown, utterly insignificant before Luo Qingfeng.

Without the strength of the Sea Transformation Realm, one had no say in inter-sect dealings.

Who would have thought that Luo Qingfeng, known for his weakness, could be so fierce?

Looking at the thick fog, Li Changyu suddenly realized he had made a fatal mistake today—he had touched Luo Qingfeng's reverse scale.

And this kid named Ye Yuan was Luo Qingfeng's reverse scale.

How could Li Changyu know what Luo Qingfeng was thinking?

What Luo Qingfeng was worried about now was how to account to Ye Yuan's mysterious master.

That unimaginably powerful existence, once he came to demand an explanation, would bring utter destruction to the Nethercloud Sect.

If Ye Yuan were truly dead, why would he fear a sect war?

Compared to that mysterious powerhouse, the Heavenly Firmament Sect was nothing.

When that time came, it wouldn't be just the Nethercloud Sect that faced annihilation; the Heavenly Firmament Sect would also be implicated.
