The man in black's pupils contracted as he looked at Ye Yun before him, never expecting someone of such power to exist in such a humble place.
"Who exactly are you?!"
The man in black's voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear.
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow at his question. "Didn't your family teach you not to answer a question with another question?"
He was the one interrogating, yet the other party was questioning him.
However, the man in black merely glared at him menacingly, remaining silent.
"Looking at you, you're not planning to spill the beans, are you?"
Ye Yun narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"You wouldn't want to be cut into pieces and then cut into even smaller pieces, would you?"
As a Main God-level expert, his physical body was virtually indestructible by normal means, unless special methods were used.
He would merely regenerate his body and continue to endure endless torture, a method of torment favored by many wicked individuals.
Upon hearing Ye Yun's words, the man in black's face darkened. He shouted sternly,
"You people, your doomsday is fast approaching!"
Then, he threw his head back and let out a final roar.
"My Lord God Emperor, I am coming to see you!"
Ye Yun had initially sealed the divine power within his body to prevent him from committing suicide.
But unexpectedly, the man in black had managed to break through using some peculiar method.
Perhaps believing he was doomed and seeing no escape, he chose immediate self-detonation instead of fleeing.
With a boom, his body exploded like fireworks in the void. The violent blast and intense tremors caused the surrounding space to tremble!
The self-detonation of a Main God-level expert was indeed terrifyingly powerful!
"Master!"
Lin Xueyan and the others in the distance, seeing the violent explosion emanating from their master's location, became anxious.
Even from such a distance, they could feel the searing heat, let alone Ye Yun, who was at the epicenter.
In reality, Ye Yun, at the center of the explosion, had already reacted instantly and cast a defensive spell upon himself.
"Good heavens, this is practically a miniature supernova explosion."
Ye Yun marveled, a Main God-level self-detonation was no different from a miniature sun.
Looking at the man in black who had turned to ash, Ye Yun's face held no trace of relief. Instead, a somber expression gradually appeared as if a thought had struck him.
Just then, the people from the Heavenly Domain, worried about him, also arrived.
"Are you alright, you brat?!"
Xing Wu was the first to arrive and inquire.
The power of the recent detonation had made even her feel a sense of unease.
Fortunately, Ye Yun shook his head and smiled.
"Don't worry, a mere self-detonation can't harm me."
Generally speaking, a self-detonation from an opponent two or more realms below one's own would be difficult to inflict damage.
However, he could not deny that if the man from before had been an Exalted Main God like himself, he would have been in considerable danger.
This served as a stark warning; he needed to be extremely cautious when encountering similar individuals in the future!
Seeing that their master was unharmed, Lin Xueyan and the others also breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"That's great, you scared us half to death just now!"
Fang Zhiwei exhaled, looking at her master with lingering fear.
"Who was that person earlier? He felt so terrifying…"
This was self-detonation, a complete annihilation from all aspects, a destruction of both body and soul, leaving no chance for reincarnation.
Who would act so decisively?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and then said to Xing Wu.
"I plan to go to the Heavenly Origin Domain to investigate what's really going on. You stay here and guard the Heavenly Domain."
Now that he knew there were Main God-level experts involved, he dared not let the Heavenly Domain remain exposed.
While experts like Feng Qingxian could still resist Heavenly God-level opponents with formations, a Main God-level attacker would likely obliterate them with a single palm strike.
Xing Wu raised an eyebrow at his words. "You suspect that person might be connected to the Nether Demon Realm…"
"More or less. Besides them, I can't think of anyone else it could be."
Ye Yun reasoned that if the Heavenly Origin Domain was this powerful from the start, they should have at least heard of them, even if they were far away.
Therefore, he suspected some force was aiding the Heavenly Origin Domain's rise.
And in the entire Great Thousand World, the only powers Ye Yun could currently think of were the Nether Demon Realm or the Primordial Demon Tribe.
Xing Wu nodded and sighed, "That's fine, but you must be extremely careful."
"Of course. After all, the enemies we face this time are different."
Ye Yun took a deep breath. The enemies he had faced before, like the Heavenly Azure Domain or the Black Emperor, were within his realm of understanding.
However, the Nether Demon Realm and the Primordial Demon Tribe were powers completely beyond his comprehension. They were undoubtedly more powerful than the Divine Firmament Domain and were likely backed by multiple Creation Gods!
Thus, he had to confirm whether the Nether Demon Realm had indeed secretly positioned its army on their side.
If that were the case, the distance between the Heavenly Origin Domain and the Heavenly Domain would barely qualify as a strategic buffer zone, and preparations would be necessary!
Feng Qingxian, standing nearby, asked with some confusion. "What is this Nether Demon Realm you speak of?"
Ye Yun glanced at Xing Wu and said, "Later, you can explain to them about the Nether Demon Realm and the Primordial Demon Tribe."
"Understood."
Xing Wu nodded in agreement.
Ye Yun looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I need to step out for a moment. I'll be back soon."
He then didn't forget to instruct Lin Xueyan and the others. "You girls, you must listen to your Master's wife, understand?"
The girls exchanged glances but nodded.
"Yes, yes! We understand, Master!"
With that, Ye Yun turned around and headed directly towards the Heavenly Origin Domain.
As his figure disappeared into the void, everyone's gaze fell upon Xing Wu.
Seeing this, Xing Wu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Let's return to the Heavenly Domain first. I will explain everything in detail."
…
Meanwhile, Ye Yun sped towards the Heavenly Origin Domain at his fastest pace.
He didn't know if the previous guy had managed to transmit any messages through some secret means.
He had to find the Heavenly Origin Domain quickly and understand the situation!
The distance between the Heavenly Origin Domain and the Heavenly Domain was about four to five times that to the Silken Brocade Domain. However, with Ye Yun's continuous spatial leaps, he reached his destination without taking too much time.
What greeted his eyes was a sapphire planet similar to the Heavenly Domain, appearing no different from the outside.
"As expected… this concentration is about the same as the Heavenly Domain…"
In terms of cultivation environment alone, the Heavenly Origin Domain was similar to the Heavenly Domain, typical of a Tier 1 Great World.
With such a cultivation environment, it was impossible to produce so many Divine, Star God, and even Heavenly God-level beings!
From its outward appearance alone, there was nothing unusual about the Heavenly Origin Domain.
"I'll see what kind of trick you're up to!"
Ye Yun snorted, and his figure descended, heading straight for the Heavenly Origin Domain.
As he approached the Heavenly Origin Domain and passed through an invisible barrier, everything before his eyes changed!
