"Xing Chen Bu Mie Ti!"
Under the imminent crisis of self-destruction, Ye Yun unleashed his Xing Chen Bu Mie Ti without reservation. The power of the stars transformed into a protective force, surging rapidly towards his meridians.
The destructive power and the protective force reached a stalemate, clashing against each other.
"What's going on with this kid? How can I feel an indescribable terrifying power within his body?"
"No, this kid is too strange. We can't let him continue evolving."
Tianlan Star Lord felt an involuntary flicker of worry, even fear. He had to quickly deal with the person before him, or he sensed that something incredible might happen.
"Tian He Divine Ability: Giant Waves Devour the Sky!"
Activating his cultivation, Ye Yun unleashed his divine ability, aiming for a killing blow.
"Rumble!"
The fierce and unstoppable Tian He Giant Waves transformed into an immense handprint, pressing down towards Ye Yun.
At this moment, Ye Yun's insides were burning, and smoke billowed from his seven orifices. He hadn't expected that even with Xing Chen Bu Mie Ti, he couldn't completely negate the destructive effects of the Bodhi Root on his body.
Of course, if he hadn't possessed Xing Chen Bu Mie Ti, even a True God-level cultivation would have been completely annihilated by the Bodhi Root.
The powerful palm print descended from the sky, stunning Song Ziyue and Xing Meng.
"Ye Aotian!"
They shouted loudly, but could offer no help.
"Ah!"
The instant the palm print descended, Ye Yun let out a sudden dragon's roar towards the sky. His mighty divine power could shatter the firmament.
His shattered meridians regenerated completely. From destruction came rebirth, and from breaking came establishment!
"Xing Chen Divine Fist – Break!"
Ye Yun stomped his feet and thrust a fist upwards.
The power of the stars within him coalesced into a giant fist, which instantly collided with the Devouring Sky Giant Wave palm.
The colossal palm print actually developed a hole. The Xing Chen Divine Fist pierced through the giant wave palm and continued its charge towards Tianlan Star Lord.
"What?! Impossible!"
Tianlan Star Lord was utterly shocked. This Giant Wave palm was a divine ability kill move of a peak True God, yet it hadn't killed Ye Yun, and had even been pierced through and counter-attacked?
"Da, da, da!"
At the same time, Elder Li and others appeared not far away. They had come after hearing the loud sounds of battle and witnessed the astonishing scene of Ye Yun's divine fist shattering the giant waves.
"Did you see clearly? Ye Aotian just broke through the Star Lord's giant wave divine ability with a single punch!"
"Elder Li, how could we not see clearly? What in the world is going on?"
"This kid is too strong!"
Elder Li and the other core elders were rendered speechless, their feelings a mixture of disbelief and reluctant acceptance.
"You've broken through?"
"Indeed. I have now broken through to the mid-stage True God. Tianlan Star Lord, as I said, I'm going to have some fun with you."
"Bastard! So what if you've broken through to the mid-stage True God? I am a peak True God. You are still two realms behind me. Do you think you have any chance of winning?"
"Yes, on the surface, the gap between us is still immense, but that is only on the surface."
Ye Yun sheathed his God Slaying Sword. With a thought, his brilliance shone.
Above Ye Yun's head, space churned rapidly. Amidst flashing light, the Heavenly Sword Genesis appeared, shaking the heavens!
"What kind of divine artifact is this? Why can't I sense its rank?"
"No way, why would someone from the Heavenly Domain possess such a terrifying divine artifact?"
"We must kill him and seize this divine artifact. Then our Tianlan Domain will rise."
The moment they saw the Heavenly Sword, all the elders of the Tianlan Domain were mesmerized.
"Ye Aotian, what exactly is your identity? I've investigated the Heavenly Domain. What's your relationship with the Domain Lord Ye Yun?"
"You're surprisingly interested in the Heavenly Domain?"
"Stop the nonsense and tell us your relationship!"
"Since you ask, I'll tell you. Ye Yun is Ye Aotian, and Ye Aotian is Ye Yun!"
Ye Yun held the Heavenly Sword Genesis, his eyes as sharp as stars, radiating an unstoppable might!
"Hahaha, it's just as I suspected. You are that exceptionally talented, one-in-a-million Domain Lord of the Heavenly Domain, Ye Yun!"
"So what?"
"I will kill you and obtain your destiny. Then our Tianlan Domain can rise."
"Well said, but can you do it?"
Ye Yun held the Heavenly Sword, pointing it at Tianlan Star Lord, his eyes cold, an endless killing intent permeating the entire area.
"Ah?!"
Elder Li and the other elders actually retreated. The majesty of the Heavenly Sword involuntarily inspired a sense of fear in them.
Even Tianlan Star Lord felt his body tremble slightly. The power of this divine artifact was too immense.
"Damn it."
The more this was the case, the more Tianlan Star Lord felt humiliated. He had to prove the might of his peak True God cultivation.
"Tian He Divine Art's highest level!"
Tianlan Star Lord abandoned all pretense of dignity and directly activated the highest level of the Tian He Divine Art. His entire body was encased in the Tian He Battle Armor, and he held the Tian He Divine Spear to face Ye Yun.
"Very good. If my disciple Xiaomeng were to wield this Tian He Divine Spear of yours, her Sea God power would surely reach perfection."
"What did you say? You intend to give my divine spear to your disciple?"
"I advise you to be more magnanimous. If you surrender yourself, perhaps I can spare your life!"
Ye Yun smiled at Tianlan Star Lord, as if discussing something ordinary and logical.
Even Elder Li and the others listened intently, sensing that Ye Yun genuinely possessed such power.
"What are you doing, gawking like idiots?"
Tianlan Star Lord also noticed their strange expressions and berated them loudly.
"Star Clan Lord, please forgive our transgression. We are at fault!"
Elder Li and the others quickly bowed and admitted their mistakes.
"Hmph, all of you, attack! Let's kill this brat together!"
"Ah? Star Lord, you want us to attack together?"
"Damn it, what do you think?"
"But..."
Elder Li and the others were truly dumbfounded this time. A peak True God from an eighth-level great world was actually going to gang up with them against a mid-stage True God from a first-level great world. If this were to get out, the powerhouses of the myriad worlds would laugh themselves to death.
"What the hell are you afraid of? As long as we kill them all, no one will know about this!"
"Star Lord..."
"Are you looking for death?"
Tianlan Star Lord was going mad. He no longer cared about the means; as long as Ye Yun died here, everything would be over!
"Yes!"
Elder Li and the others were truly terrified, as Tianlan Star Lord's demeanor suggested he was absolutely serious, not joking.
"Activate the formation!"
Elder Li gave the order, and the core elders positioned themselves around Ye Yun, activating the formation.
"Ye Yun, no matter how strong you are, you cannot possibly win. Hahaha, the ultimate victor is, as expected, me!"
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true."
Suddenly, Ye Yun extended his hand. In his palm appeared the Bodhi Root, which rapidly grew, forming a crystal-clear Fiery Bodhi.
