Chapter 2913: Exterminate!

The talent of Lü Yan and the other two was truly unimpressive.

The three of them had to swallow a full nineteen Sovereign Divine Pills before finally breaking through to the Emperor realm.

What a waste of such fine Xuan-grade Heavenly Pills!

But at least the Lingdan Sect now had four Emperor realm experts, instantly elevating its strength by a level.

The Emperor realm and the non-Emperor realm were two completely different worlds!

Even someone as monstrous as Ye Yuan could not cross that mountain and fight above his level.

As for those True Emperor Heaven experts, their strength also greatly increased.

The entire Lingdan Sect revered Ye Yuan like a deity.

Ye Yuan stayed in the Lingdan Sect for three years.

Over those three years, Ye Yuan focused his mind on the Blood Origin and the comprehension of the third layer of the Divine Derivation.

Now, although Ye Yuan had fused the Blood Origin, it was due to the power of the Dao Sword.

He could use the power of the origin, but his understanding of the Blood Origin was very shallow.

He knew what it was, but not why it was so.

The Blood Origin was also one of the most fundamental forces constructing the laws of the heavens, so its power was even not inferior to the Space Origin!

Having grasped a primordial force ahead of time, Ye Yuan was naturally thrilled.

With the Dao Sword as a medium, his speed in comprehending the Blood Origin was extremely fast.

There was no shortcut to comprehending origins.

But Ye Yuan had found a shortcut.

As for the third layer of the Divine Derivation, Ye Yuan had no clue at all.

The Soul Clan had three great scriptures and three great soul artifacts, each being the pinnacle of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The third layer of the Divine Derivation was a huge hurdle, extremely difficult.

This third layer was often only comprehensible by Emperor realm experts of the Soul Clan.

And the Divine Derivation was one of the Soul Clan's scriptures, so its difficulty could be imagined.

Ye Yuan had cultivated to the second layer's great perfection with almost no bottlenecks.

But this time, he hit a bottleneck.

This three-year peace was finally broken by the arrival of the Soul Envoy!

"Greetings, Soul Envoy!"

Wang Jun led the Lingdan Sect disciples in performing a grand kneeling bow.

This Soul Envoy was merely at the True Emperor Heaven great perfection, yet they, dignified Emperor realm experts, had to perform such a grand bow—truly humiliating.

"Mm."

The Soul Envoy was very arrogant, not even giving Wang Jun and the others permission to rise.

Instead, behind him, an Emperor Cloud Heaven expert's gaze roamed over Lü Yan and the others, revealing a half-smile.

This man was named Zhang Zuoshan, the sect master of the Feiyun Sect.

Speaking of the Feiyun Sect, it was once a subordinate sect of the Lingdan Sect, at most True Emperor Heaven.

Compared to the Lingdan Sect, the Feiyun Sect was like an ant.

But times had changed; the Feiyun Sect now had three Emperor Cloud Heaven experts, including one mid-level Emperor Cloud Heaven, and its strength had far surpassed the Lingdan Sect.

In fact, the Soul Clan did not simply exploit humanity; instead, they deliberately nurtured some weak sects.

But when they conscripted humans, they naturally conscripted those powerful sects.

In other words, weaken one batch, nurture another.

The weakened batch naturally hated the Soul Clan to the bone.

But the nurtured batch was grateful to the Soul Clan.

In this way, not only did they divide humanity, but they also ensured that humans could not produce any powerful beings, forever under the Soul Clan's enslavement.

The Lingdan Sect was clearly among the weakened batch.

And the Feiyun Sect was among the nurtured batch.

Zhang Zuoshan's aptitude was actually average, but with the Soul Clan's strength, nurturing a mid-level Emperor Cloud Heaven was still easy.

And Zhang Zuoshan had directly become a lapdog of the Soul Clan.

Wherever the Soul Clan pointed, he would never go west.

The Soul Envoy looked at Wang Jun and said indifferently, "Wang Jun, your Lingdan Sect's Zhou Chen and the other five Emperor Cloud Heaven experts have all fallen."

These words carried no emotion, as if the dead Emperor realm experts were mere puppies.

Wang Jun trembled all over, tears streaming down.

"Senior Brother! It... it was all my fault that harmed you!"

Zhou Chen was the former sect master of the Lingdan Sect!

Fifty years ago, the Soul Clan forcibly conscripted Zhou Chen and six other Emperor Cloud Heaven experts, leaving only Wang Jun as the sole Emperor realm expert.

Thus, Zhou Chen passed the sect master position to Wang Jun.

In fact, that conscription had intended to take Wang Jun as well, but Zhou Chen, to preserve a bloodline for the Lingdan Sect, gave most of the sect's resources to this Soul Envoy!

That was why the Lingdan Sect now exhausted its resources just to get a few sixth-grade Heavenly Pills.

Over the past few thousand years, the Lingdan Sect had heard too many噩耗!

Ancestor Hangyang led a group of disciples in a bloody battle with the Blood Clan for over a thousand years, ultimately falling.

When the噩耗 came, the entire sect was grief-stricken!

However, this was only the beginning.

After Ancestor Hangyang's death, the Soul Clan conscripted another batch of Emperor Hao Heaven experts.

Then came Emperor Cloud Heaven.

Now, only Wang Jun remained as the last survivor!

"Hey, Wang Jun, instead of weeping for that dead ghost Zhou Chen, you'd better worry about yourself! The Soul Envoy said that this time, all Emperor realm experts of the Lingdan Sect will enter the Chilian Battlefield! Since you now have four Emperor realm experts, it's perfect for all of you to go together."

Zhang Zuoshan looked at Wang Jun with a smug expression.

Seeing that the Lingdan Sect had suddenly produced four Emperor realm experts, he was extremely shocked inside.

Originally, the Feiyun Sect had completely surpassed the Lingdan Sect.

Zhang Zuoshan knew what kind of goods Lü Yan and the other two were.

For them to step into the Emperor realm was basically impossible.

But who would have thought that in just a few decades, all three of them had entered Emperor Cloud Heaven.

Fortunately, he had been cautious and planned to wipe out the Lingdan Sect this time, so he had fed the Soul Envoy some poison, urging him to continue conscripting the Lingdan Sect.

This time, he could completely trample the Lingdan Sect into the mud.

Wang Jun trembled, wishing he could tear Zhang Zuoshan apart.

He knew it must be this dog stirring up trouble again.

"Soul Envoy! My Lingdan Sect has fought for the Soul Clan and is now depleted of talents! Only these last few bloodlines remain! This time, Wang Jun is willing to go to the Chilian Battlefield, but I beg the Soul Envoy to spare Lü Yan and the others!" Wang Jun said tremblingly.

The Soul Envoy glanced at Wang Jun and said indifferently, "Fighting for my Soul Clan is your glory! What, do you think I am framing you? Say no more. The Chilian Battlefield is in urgent need of troops, and we need your service now. This time, not only will the four of you go, but all True Emperor Heaven experts must go as well!"

Zhang Zuoshan was overjoyed at this.

Wang Jun, however, looked up abruptly, his face full of hatred as he stared at the Soul Envoy.

This was to exterminate them completely!

Wang Jun was furious to the extreme, and the Emperor realm pressure on him suddenly burst forth, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

But the Soul Envoy didn't care at all, only saying indifferently, "What, you want to make a move? Think carefully: once you do, your Lingdan Sect will be completely wiped out!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.

His Emperor realm pressure instantly dissipated.

If they went, there was still a glimmer of hope.

If they didn't, they would be completely annihilated by the Soul Clan.
