Chapter 924: Sima Shang!

"Ye Yuan, show your trump card! I really want to see whether you're bluffing or you truly have the ability to challenge me!" You Sha stared at Ye Yuan with burning eyes.

All along the way, You Sha had tolerated Ye Yuan precisely because he couldn't gauge Ye Yuan's trump card.

Now, having absorbed a vast amount of killing intent, his strength had surged significantly. Facing Ye Yuan again, he felt much more confident.

Ye Yuan also looked at You Sha, a faint smile flickering at the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "Should I call you You Sha, or should I call you Sima Shang?"

At these words, the remaining three venerable masters were all bewildered, while You Sha's aura visibly faltered.

"You three, leave for now!" You Sha said calmly.

Leng Xue and the other were startled, but still respectfully bowed to You Sha and said, "Yes!"

Si Yin now regarded Ye Yuan as her savior and naturally didn't want him to stay in such a dangerous place.

"Ye Yuan..."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It's fine. I think Venerable You Sha won't make things difficult for a junior like me, right?"

Si Yin was still uneasy, but since Ye Yuan had said so, she didn't insist and could only leave the space as well.

After the three left, You Sha's cold voice came: "Who are you!"

This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. Though his strength was less than the Formless Realm, even he, a venerable master, couldn't see through him.

Over the past thirty thousand years, countless martial artists had entered the Shura Field, yet none had ever escaped the control of the Death Order.

But Ye Yuan had done it!

Not only had Ye Yuan done it himself, he had even helped Si Yin break free from control. Such methods were utterly inconceivable.

You Sha knew the Death Order too well. Once planted into a martial artist's soul, it would merge completely and could never be separated.

He simply couldn't imagine how Ye Yuan had managed it.

Ye Yuan looked at You Sha and smiled, "Who I am is not important. What matters is that this Chaotic Demon Sea is indeed controlled by the Dark Divine King! I'm just very curious—what kind of existence is the Dark Divine King, Sima Shang?"

The Dark Divine King—the most mysterious of the Ten Divine Kings!

Throughout the Divine Realm, very few had ever seen the Dark Divine King. If not for the Heavenly Secrets Tower releasing the list of the Ten Divine Kings, probably few in the world would even know of such an existence.

There were many speculations about where the Dark Divine King actually was.

But among the upper echelons of the Divine Realm, the most popular guess was that the Dark Divine King was the ruler of the Chaotic Demon Sea!

As for the name Sima Shang, Ye Yuan had only heard it from his father, Ji Zhengyang.

Throughout the Divine Realm, very few knew this name.

You Sha was silent for a long moment before saying, "I am not the Dark Divine King!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Of course I know you're not the Dark Divine King himself. If the Dark Divine King only had your strength, the Chaotic Demon Sea would have been destroyed long ago! How could it have stood in the Divine Realm for thirty thousand years? If I'm not mistaken, you're just a clone of Sima Shang, managing the Shura Field and collecting killing intent on his behalf. What I'm curious about is, over these thirty thousand years, has the Dark Divine King always been Sima Shang alone, or has it been passed down through several generations?"

The lifespan of a Divine King-level powerhouse ranges from ten to fifteen thousand years. Logically, one Dark Divine King couldn't live for thirty thousand years.

Yet the Chaotic Demon Sea had stood for thirty thousand years, and during that time, many must have coveted it.

If every generation of Dark Divine King possessed the strength of the Ten Divine Kings, that would be terrifying.

Such a legacy was too dreadful!

You Sha fell silent again, then after a long pause said, "No comment! What is your purpose in entering the Chaotic Demon Sea?"

Clearly, Ye Yuan knew far more than he had imagined. Rather than deny it in front of Ye Yuan, it was better to keep silent.

Though You Sha's voice was calm, the shock in his heart was beyond measure.

The Chaotic Demon Sea had always been known for its mystery; only the most顶尖 existences in the Divine Realm knew a fraction of its secrets.

But Ye Yuan was clearly just a youth in his twenties—how did he know these secrets!

Even more shocking, Ye Yuan had called out his name in one breath!

Thus, he had to find out Ye Yuan's intentions!

Ye Yuan, however, smiled and said, "I only came for the Spirit Nourishing Stone. Now that I have it, I won't linger. The world is small—we'll meet again if fate allows!"

Ye Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.

"Hmph! You can leave, but first prove whether you have the qualifications to do so!" You Sha said coldly from behind.

Ye Yuan turned around and said helplessly, "Let's each mind our own business. I'll keep the secrets of the Chaotic Demon Sea to myself. Why force me to fight?"

It wasn't that Ye Yuan was arrogant, but You Sha's strength was too great. Once they fought, he would have to reveal his trump card.

Ye Yuan's trump card was too shocking; he didn't want to reveal it unless absolutely necessary.

But now it seemed You Sha had no intention of letting him go.

"Hmph! Only the dead keep secrets!"

You Sha snorted coldly and struck again with the Ultimate Sword Kill! The might of the Dao Profound Realm was something Ye Yuan could not withstand at his current level.

The狂暴 killing intent almost materialized, locking onto Ye Yuan tightly, giving him no chance at all.

The reason the Slaughter Sword Art was said to be cultivable to a level comparable to the Ten Divine Kings was that one of the Ten Divine Kings, the Dark Divine King, used this very martial technique!

Thus, the power of this sword strike was unimaginable!

Under this strike, not to mention a Heavenly Enlightenment Realm martial artist like Ye Yuan, even a mid-stage Dao Profound Realm martial artist would have no chance of survival!

But at that moment, a巨大 pagoda abruptly appeared between the two!

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar rang out. The irresistible Ultimate Sword Kill struck directly onto the Haotian Tower, yet the tower stood motionless!

"A divine artifact! No, it's a quasi-divine artifact! But it's only half a step away from a true divine artifact!" You Sha exclaimed in shock.

You Sha had a keen eye; with one glance he discerned the grade of the Haotian Tower.

Though not a true divine artifact, the name 'quasi-divine artifact' was already terrifying enough.

Because in the Divine Realm today, no one could forge a quasi-divine artifact!

After the decline of the divine path a hundred thousand years ago, only an extraordinary genius like Fang Tian had managed to forge a quasi-divine artifact like the Haotian Tower.

Of course, the main reason the Haotian Tower was successfully forged was the Haotian Stele.

If Ye Yuan were controlling the Haotian Tower, it naturally couldn't block You Sha's devastating strike. But if Long Teng were controlling it, the situation would be completely different.

Long Teng had absorbed the last remnants of Long Zhan's soul force and, with the help of the Spirit Nourishing Stone, had recovered sixty to seventy percent of his strength.

Such strength was more than enough to withstand You Sha's strike.

This was where Ye Yuan's confidence lay!

"See? I said don't fight, but you insisted. Unless Sima Shang comes personally, you can't keep me here!" Ye Yuan said calmly.
