"Eternal Stars, None Shall Conquer Me!"
With a heaven-shattering roar, Ye Yun's body transformed into a dragon of stars, soaring into the highest heavens.
"Roar!"
The dragon's cry shook the heavens, unstoppable.
The thunder dragon ascended without a word, charging towards Ye Yun.
The final battle was unexpectedly fought between two colossal dragons.
"This is too monstrous, not human at all!"
"He actually transformed into a dragon to confront the heavenly dao, this is madness!"
"People in the city are too crazy these days, I want to go back to my village!"
Everyone watching Ye Yun face the heavenly tribulation was dumbfounded.
High above the nine heavens, two nine-headed dragons clashed incessantly.
The heavenly tribulation's lightning, destroying all!
The unyielding stars, rapidly recovering!
"Rumble!"
Finally, the heavenly tribulation unleashed its ultimate strike. The power of lightning exploded, and all became silent.
"Master!"
Lin Xueyan and the other women's eyes reddened as they cried out towards the sky. Their hearts trembled to their very core; if their master perished, they wished to live no longer.
"Ye Aotian!"
Song Ziyue, Xing Meng, and the others also furrowed their brows, their hearts filled with indescribable tension.
"It's over, Ye Aotian was obliterated by the thunder dragon."
"This is the power of the heavenly tribulation. Ye Aotian's talent was too immense, heaven envied his genius and struck him down!"
"My heavens, it seems being excessively talented isn't always good; crossing the tribulation is a death sentence!"
A large number of powerful individuals showed looks of pity. Ye Yun's talent was truly extraordinary, and his indomitable spirit, daring to confront the heavenly dao, was deeply admirable. Yet, in the end, he was judged by heaven. It was truly a pity.
"No!"
Suddenly, on the high platform, the Lord of Tianlan Star revealed a look of astonishment.
Then, high above the nine heavens, the light of stars illuminated the land, forming a path of stars. Walking upon this grand path was only one person, a majestic figure who intimidated all creation – it was none other than Ye Yun!
"What?! Ye Aotian is unharmed?"
Now, true shock set in. He had survived the judgment of the heavenly tribulation!
"Esteemed ones, I have returned."
Ye Yun walked upon the starlit path, waving to his female disciples below.
"Wow, Master is back."
"Master, you are the strongest!"
"Master, let's cheer for Master!"
All the female disciples wept tears of joy and relief.
"This kid, truly..."
Song Ziyue and Xing Wu exchanged smiles, looking at each other.
"Scoundrel, why are you still alive!"
The old man of Xuanfeng roared, launching a sneak attack on Ye Yun with a ghost king's curse.
The potent curse manifested as numerous spectral hands, lunging towards Ye Yun on the starlit path.
"Noisy!"
Ye Yun casually waved his hand. Divine power manifested as a lightning sword, instantly shattering countless ghostly hands.
"What?!"
"How dare you sneak attack this seat! Do you not know how to write the word 'death'!"
Ye Yun's eyes changed. With a thought, the lightning sword transformed into a thunder dragon, instantly coiling around the old man of Xuanfeng.
"No!"
The old man of Xuanfeng's face contorted, emitting a wail of pain and despair.
"Rumble!"
Then the thunder dragon exploded, annihilating the old man of Xuanfeng.
"Killed a High God-level expert in an instant?!"
"Ye Aotian's cultivation has truly ascended to the High God level!"
"Damn it, is the heavenly dao trying to destroy him or help him?"
"Heaven helps those who help themselves, it's true! Ye Aotian succeeded, he's too strong!"
Everyone was stunned by Ye Yun's ascension. From an eighty-tier Heavenly God, he had transcended the limits, broken through the heavenly tribulation, and achieved the rank of a Lower High God!
With such unparalleled talent and invincible destiny, who could rival him?!
After the old man of Xuanfeng's death, a ball of incredibly potent energy gradually formed within his body.
The intensity of this energy was immense, blinding many nearby experts.
"That's the Divine Yuan of the old man of Xuanfeng!"
Someone exclaimed.
This was a crucial treasure dropped by a High God-level or above expert upon their demise.
"Receive!"
Ye Yun extended his hand, and the Divine Yuan was absorbed into his palm.
"Master, we knew you'd be fine."
Ye Yun descended the starlit path. Fang Zhiwei, Chu Ai, and the other women surrounded him, joyfully escorting him back to his position in the Heavenly Domain.
"Of course. And I have you little disciples waiting for me. How could I leave you?"
Ye Yun stroked the heads of his little disciples, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Ye Aotian!"
Suddenly, a roar echoed from behind.
Ye Yun turned and saw a person from the Xuanfeng Star Domain.
This man was the deputy of the old man of Xuanfeng. Witnessing his star domain's leader slain by Ye Yun, he had to step forward for the honor of his domain.
"How dare you cruelly slaughter someone from my Xuanfeng Star Domain during the opening of the Ten Thousand Realms Selection! You must pay the price!"
"Star Lord, this is the territory of your Tianlan Star Domain! Ye Aotian has committed such atrocities, Star Lord, you must deliver justice for our Xuanfeng Star Domain!"
The expert bowed deeply towards the Lord of Tianlan Star, seeking justice.
Ye Yun also looked towards the Lord of Tianlan Star, wanting to see how this High God would handle the situation.
"The duel between Ye Aotian and the old man of Xuanfeng was a personal grievance. What does it have to do with me? Moreover, the old man of Xuanfeng used a sneak attack, and it's only natural that Ye Aotian killed him in retaliation. Is there a problem?"
The Lord of Tianlan Star valued Ye Yun's talent. Now that Ye Yun had ascended to the High God level, if he could be recruited, it would be a great asset to the Tianlan Star Domain, potentially even allowing them to advance to a Level Nine Great World. Therefore, he had no intention of dealing with Ye Yun at this moment.
Of course, if Ye Yun refused to be subservient and didn't pledge allegiance to the Tianlan Star Domain, that would be a different matter.
"Star Lord, you!"
The expert's face contorted instantly, surprised that his request for justice had been completely disregarded by the Lord of Tianlan Star.
"Wuwuwu..."
At this moment, Mo Xuan was still whimpering. Seeing his master die by Ye Yun's hand, he was filled with rage but utterly helpless.
With his current strength, challenging Ye Yun would likely result in him being crushed.
However, the humiliation of his tongue being cut out, how could he let it go?
"Do you have any more questions?"
The Lord of Tianlan Star asked the Xuanfeng expert with a cold smile.
"Fine. Although the old man of Xuanfeng deserved to die for his sneak attack on Ye Aotian, Ye Aotian must also return the old man's Divine Yuan to me!"
"Return it to you?"
Ye Yun let out a slight chuckle, surprised by the childish demand.
"This is the spoils of my victory. Why should I return it to you?"
"You scoundrel, this is the old man of Xuanfeng's遗物 (yí wù - belongings after death)! How dare you monopolize it! It should be left to us as a memento!"
"A memento? Hahaha, you make me laugh. You're the one who wants to monopolize it, aren't you? This is a High God-level Divine Yuan. Once you obtain it, you can initiate the heavenly tribulation and ascend, right?"
Ye Yun had struck a nerve, making the expert hate him even more.
"Please, Star Lord, deliver justice."
Unable to confront Ye Yun directly, he turned and bowed to the Lord of Tianlan Star.
