Chapter 908: Eating Dust

More and more martial artists entered the Yellow Spring Path, and the power of the formation continuously increased.

In addition to the thunder and fire attributes, attacks of several other attributes came crashing down.

For a time, the entire Yellow Spring Path was in utter chaos.

Zhong Wubing cursed inwardly, wishing he could kill all those fellows.

But at this moment, he was also more than willing but powerless.

Although the Xuanli Cage was a top-grade holy artifact, it was somewhat stretched thin under such fierce attacks.

At first, he still had some spare strength, but later, not only he but even the others had to go all out just to barely hold on.

Ye Yuan's speed grew faster and faster, and his state of mind entered a mysterious realm, giving him a comprehensive improvement in his control over all aspects.

Ye Yuan knew that under extreme conditions, his state of mind, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, had finally broken through.

If classified by realm, Ye Yuan should have entered the middle stage of a heart as firm as a rock.

After the breakthrough, his analytical ability greatly improved, allowing him to both greatly increase his speed in deciphering the ancient formation and handle his companions with more ease.

Thus, Ye Yuan's forward speed naturally became much faster.

The Yellow Spring Path was about a thousand zhang long, and Ye Yuan's speed grew faster and faster, quickly reaching the end.

At that time, Zhong Wubing and the others had only just covered half the distance.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Ye Yuan moved his body and leaped directly out of the Yellow Spring Path. Then, with a sweep of his hand, the others also came out unscathed.

"Brother Ye, you're amazing! I totally worship you!" An Ren jumped up excitedly.

Shao Kai was more reserved and steady, but even he was thrilled: "Ye Yuan, you... did you break through in your state of mind?"

From Ye Yuan's condition, it was not hard to judge that he must have made a breakthrough in his state of mind. And to reach Ye Yuan's level, his state of mind must be terrifyingly high.

Ye Yuan looked at Zhong Wubing with a playful gaze and smiled: "This is all thanks to our Boss Zhong. Courtesy demands reciprocity. Shouldn't we return the favor?"

Ye Yuan deliberately infused his yuan power, letting his voice penetrate the formation and reach everyone's ears.

When Zhong Wubing heard this, his expression changed drastically.

He never expected that instead of trapping Ye Yuan, he had caused Ye Yuan to break through. Now, in turn, Ye Yuan was going to trap him.

With that, Ye Yuan raised his hand and struck a palm directly into the great formation.

Having traversed this path, Ye Yuan was already very familiar with this set of linked formations.

He only used one move, but it triggered a chain reaction in the formation.

Instantly, the formation's attacks intensified severalfold!

This affected a wide area, and a series of screams rang out again.

The ten years of careful preparation by the various lords were completely wiped out by this one strike.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

After one round of attacks, half of the martial artists fell directly. Even on Zhong Wubing's side, three were lost in an instant.

Those who remained were the cream of the crop!

But even these elites were in bad shape. Apart from top experts like Zhong Wubing, all had sustained varying degrees of injury.

With a little over half the distance remaining, it would not be easy for them to survive.

At this moment, Zhong Wubing didn't even have a chance to curse. He was hard-pressed on all sides, struggling to cope with attacks from every direction.

A smile flickered across Ye Yuan's lips: "Let them busy themselves first. Let's go find the treasure!"

"Haha, those guys dared to play dirty tricks on our Boss Ye. They deserve to eat our dust!"

An Ren laughed heartily and trotted behind Ye Yuan, looking smug.

Beyond the Yellow Spring Path, a two-story pavilion came into view.

Seeing this pavilion, the group was extremely excited.

They knew that it was here that the Blazing Flame Lord had obtained a treasure, which allowed him to rise to prominence and become a lord.

"Let's go in!" Seeing everyone eager to try, Ye Yuan smiled.

The group rushed into the pavilion. Ye Yuan observed and found nothing unusual here.

But the first floor of the pavilion had clearly been ransacked, with little left.

"A top-grade holy artifact!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.

Actually, even without his shout, the others had already seen it.

In a corner stood a sword rack, on which rested an exquisite sword. From its aura, it was undoubtedly a top-grade holy artifact.

Seeing the sword, someone couldn't resist and reached out to take it.

"Stop!" Ye Yuan shouted sternly. The man trembled and halted his movements.

"Ye... Boss Ye, what's wrong?" The man asked timidly.

Hearing Ye Yuan's harsh rebuke, he was also frightened.

Ye Yuan casually picked up a piece of wood and threw it over. A faint light flashed, and with a "crackle," the wood shavings were instantly vaporized.

Seeing this, the man shrank his neck, realizing he had just skirted the gates of hell.

"Even a fool can see that's a top-grade holy artifact. Do you think they wouldn't have taken it last time? Look over there—there's a pile of ashes, probably from a martial artist who triggered a prohibition and was burned to death. Those who can make it here are all incredibly powerful. If even they couldn't take the sword, how could you?" Ye Yuan said softly.

The man stuck out his tongue, realizing he had been too careless.

He had thought that after passing the Yellow Spring Path, the pavilion would be as safe as that side hall, but he hadn't expected dangers lurking everywhere!

Still, he was utterly in awe of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had just entered the pavilion but had already observed every detail.

"Then... we just have to watch?" The man said reluctantly.

Surrounded by such powerful prohibitions, this sword must have its extraordinary qualities. Perhaps it was more than just a top-grade holy artifact.

How could they give up so easily?

Top-grade holy artifacts were extremely rare even in the Asura Field.

Generally, only lords could possess top-grade holy artifacts. For them, as generals, owning a mid-grade holy artifact was already impressive.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan smiled: "Since we're here, how can we return empty-handed?"

With that, Ye Yuan slowly stepped forward and walked directly toward the sword!

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Boss Ye, the prohibition..." An Ren shouted, trying to grab Ye Yuan.

But as he reached out, Ye Yuan slipped away like an eel, and he grabbed nothing.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they couldn't help closing their eyes.

But when they opened their eyes, Ye Yuan had already picked up the sword and was playing with it in his hand.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Such a powerful prohibition—why was Ye Yuan unaffected when he entered?
