Chapter 970: Fleeing Through the Void

"Alright, I'll help them break the Mystic Illusion Mirror!"

Though extremely unwilling, the situation at this point no longer allowed the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye to hold out any longer.

Compared to having over a hundred thousand years of cultivation destroyed, breaking the Mystic Illusion Mirror seemed like nothing.

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye also saw that Ye Yuan seemed to intend to spare his life. It appeared he wanted to get something from him.

He would find a way to deal with Ye Yuan in the days to come.

Ye Yuan released Yue Mengli and Yue Lingyu. The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye said, "I have already merged with you; performing the spell requires the use of your eyes!"

Ye Yuan nodded and handed control of his eyes over to the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye.

In this situation, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was still lodged in Ye Yuan's body, but the dominance was entirely Ye Yuan's.

As long as Ye Yuan was unwilling, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye could not use his eyes at all.

Ye Yuan felt a warmth in his eyes, and a strange power flowed out from them. Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu, and the others suddenly snapped awake.

"Yuan Ge, I thought... I would never see you again! This illusion was so powerful; I knew I was trapped in the illusion, but I just couldn't break free."

Even the composed Yue Mengli was terrified at the thought of nearly being trapped in the illusion forever.

Yue Lingyu was also shaken; she hadn't expected that with her strength, she could so easily fall into the illusion.

Ye Yuan gently embraced Yue Mengli and comforted her, "It's alright, everything is over. With Yuan Ge here, nothing will happen."

Yue Mengli nodded but held Ye Yuan even tighter.

"Ye Yuan, did... did you save us?" Yue Lingyu asked hesitantly.

Though she already had the answer in her heart, she still found it incredible.

Ye Yuan was only at the Formless Realm, yet he was the only one among them who remained clear-headed. This was too bizarre.

Moreover, Yue Lingyu noticed that Ye Yuan had somehow broken through to the mid Formless Realm!

They, as Divine King powerhouses, were deeply trapped, but Ye Yuan had gained an opportunity here, breaking through two minor realms consecutively. It was utterly astonishing.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is there anyone else here?"

Yue Lingyu took a deep breath and asked again, "The one who trapped us in the illusion should be the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, right? Now that we've woken up, could it be..."

As she asked this, Yue Lingyu's heart couldn't help but pound.

Had the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, which had not appeared for a hundred thousand years, been obtained by Ye Yuan?

Ye Yuan smiled without speaking, looking inscrutable.

Yue Lingyu was taken aback and realized she had been too rash. Such a thing, no one would easily admit to.

Since Ye Yuan didn't say, Yue Lingyu couldn't press too hard.

Some things, once spoken, could trigger a chain reaction.

The Zhou and Yue families regarded the Sun-Moon Bright Realm as their private property. Once they learned that Ye Yuan had obtained the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, they would not let it go easily.

At that time, a bloody storm would be inevitable.

Not to mention the relationship between the Yue family and Ye Yuan; once things turned ugly, the one hurt most would surely be Yue Mengli.

Even if the Yue family ultimately got the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, a great battle between the Yue and Zhou families would be hard to avoid.

At that point, these two first-rate sacred lands would likely find it difficult to maintain their current glory.

In comparison, having the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye with Ye Yuan seemed a better choice.

At least, given his relationship with Li'er, he would definitely stand on the Yue family's side.

In an instant, Yue Lingyu's thoughts raced, considering many things. She decided to bury this secret deep in her heart.

"By the way, what about that Han Tong?" Yue Mengli suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Yue Lingyu sighed inwardly. Sure enough, a daughter turns outward. Yue Mengli was deliberately changing the subject, clearly siding with Ye Yuan.

But thinking of Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu still felt greatly comforted.

The Innate Battle Soul Physique was not necessarily inferior to the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye! If she could cultivate it to the great perfection realm, she would also be a top expert in the Divine Domain.

It seemed this was the best outcome.

"Han Tong is dead. His Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Destruction is over there; I'll go get it," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Yue Lingyu was startled. Han Tong, wielding the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Destruction, had shattered her Mountain and River Map with a single strike.

But now, he was dead!

Who killed him? Could it be... Ye Yuan?

There seemed no other possibility!

How had this kid managed that?

Yue Lingyu found that she increasingly could not see through Ye Yuan. This kid was too mysterious and unfathomable.

Ye Yuan picked up the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Destruction and toyed with it in his hand.

Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the mirror.

Ye Yuan's expression changed, and he threw the mirror away. At the same time, he unhesitatingly summoned the Heavenly King Bell.

"Boom!"

A terrifying energy struck the Heavenly King Bell, sending Ye Yuan flying.

"Pfft..."

Ye Yuan spat out a large mouthful of blood, already severely injured.

Taking advantage of this moment, the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Destruction tore through the void and fled directly.

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Yue Mengli quickly stepped forward to support Ye Yuan and asked worriedly, "Yuan Ge, are you... alright?"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said weakly, "I didn't expect such a powerful forbidden force to be on the Spirit Rhinoceros Mirror of Destruction! It seems its true master is unfathomably powerful! Now I'm curious about what kind of existence this Divine Martial Hall is and what their purpose is!"

Since Lin Chao appeared within the Divine Martial Hall, they must be connected to the matters of the Boundless Realm.

Now, they were also after the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye.

It seemed they were playing a very large game.

Half an hour later, Ye Yuan finished his meditation and finally recovered some vitality.

As they walked, they suddenly noticed some people.

Ruan Shuangzhou, Zhou Boping, Zhou Yan, and others were scattered at the foot of the main peak.

Falling from the top of the main peak was nothing to them, but the tremors from the earlier battle of divine artifacts had inflicted considerable injuries.

Yet at this moment, they felt no pain, as they were still trapped in the illusion.

"They're still alive? They sure have nine lives!" Ye Yuan said in exasperation.

He had thought these people were surely dead, but they still had signs of life.

No one could control where the aftershocks of a divine artifact battle would reach. One misstep could mean being ground to dust.

Yet these people had such great luck.

"Ye Yuan, Zhou Boping contributed a lot this time. Can you... save him?" Yue Lingyu suddenly said.

Ye Yuan did not answer immediately but looked at Yue Mengli and asked, "Li'er, what do you think?"
