"This is indeed primordial divine power. No wonder this kid is so arrogant; he truly has the right to be."
"Primordial divine power is a force usually wielded only by creator gods. Why can this kid control it?"
"After sensing, this kid's cultivation is indeed that of a High Lord God. This makes it even stranger."
"Could he truly be the chosen one?!"
A series of thoughts raced through Elder Yue's mind. He looked at the young man before him, a sense of dread unexpectedly rising within him.
For the chosen one represented the destiny of the Heavenly Dao. To oppose such a person would be akin to defying heaven itself!
These thoughts plunged Elder Yue into confusion, leaving him unsure of what to do.
"Elder Yue, what is wrong?"
Seeing Elder Yue somewhat dazed, Elder Huo and Elder Xu inquired.
"Nothing!"
Elder Yue responded coldly, then continued to seize treasures.
"Ten percent obtained, such exhilaration."
Ye Yun held the primordial divine treasures in his hand, feeling immensely pleased.
Upon hearing this, Elder Huo and Elder Xu showed signs of anger.
"Ye Yun, do not be so arrogant! These treasures of yours will eventually belong to this elder, hahaha!"
"Elder Huo, your wishful thinking is admirable, but I can only tell you that it is not feasible."
"Scoundrel, this elder will surely kill you. Just you wait."
Elder Huo spotted a five-percent-quality Ninth-tier divine artifact ahead and flew towards it.
Elder Zhu Du, following behind him, also went along to protect him.
Ye Yun smiled slightly, no longer paying them any mind, and continued to observe the trajectories of treasures on the Heavenly Ladder using his Heavenly God's Eye.
"Heaven and Earth Great Shifting!"
Once again activating the Heaven and Earth Great Shifting, Ye Yun obtained several more Ninth-tier divine artifacts. His speed in acquiring treasures was far faster than everyone else's.
Soon, Ye Yun's actions were noticed by everyone. If this continued, no one would be a match for him.
"Everyone, this kid is cheating! If we don't eliminate him, we won't be able to obtain any good treasures."
"Elder Xu speaks the truth. Such cheating methods are despicable. Everyone, surround and attack him."
Elder Xu and Elder Huo attacked simultaneously, instigating the crowd. Many powerful individuals set their sights on Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, what is the meaning of you using such means?"
"Heh, what methods I use are none of your business. As long as the Mountain God does not forbid it, I can use it, right, Mountain God?"
Ye Yun directly addressed the authority, and the Mountain God nodded slightly in affirmation.
"As long as it is on this Heavenly Ladder, any means are permissible; it all depends on individual skill."
"Since the Mountain God has spoken thus, what more do you have to say?"
Ye Yun looked again at the cultivators targeting him. Their faces contorted, but they were speechless, as no one dared to question the Mountain God's words.
"Since you are obstinate, then die!"
"Kill!"
The cultivators from various rogue cultivator groups, especially those who had not obtained any treasures, were naturally envious seeing Ye Yun's overflowing riches, and their killing intent surged.
"Hahaha, you want to target me? That depends on your abilities."
Ye Yun knew that the people from the three major factions were waiting for these individuals to test his limits and would not act rashly.
He might as well seize this opportunity to strike hard and let these "waste" know his strength.
"Primordial True God Sword Intent!"
With a thought, Ye Yun unleashed several sword intents from his glabella, instantly striking the eyebrows of those powerful cultivators.
Following this, they saw a colossal sword descending from the heavens, like Mount Tai crushing down, leaving them unable to move.
"What is happening? What is this?"
"No, don't kill me!"
"Ah, it's too terrifying."
What Ye Yun used was a soul power attack fused with sword intent. These individuals lacked sufficient spiritual defense, and the level of their own sword intent was incomparable to Ye Yun's. Consequently, they fell into the illusory terror of the Primordial True God Sword Intent.
"They are suffering from a spiritual attack!"
"This kid's spiritual power is still so strong?"
"To easily make Lord God-level cultivators fall into a sword intent illusion, his sword intent level is far above theirs!"
The three elders wore solemn expressions, feeling they still understood Ye Yun too little.
"Perhaps we were all mistaken. He is using... soul power attack!"
"Soul power?!"
"Is that not a power that only creator gods can perfectly control? I've heard that such soul power attacks, if one cannot control them, can even backfire and cause spiritual fragmentation!"
Upon hearing Elder Yue's words, the other two elders were dumbfounded.
"This kid possesses invincible fortune. Sigh, he is truly troublesome."
"Elder Yue, are you afraid?"
"This old man naturally does not fear, but I think perhaps we can unite. This is no longer a matter of competing for the championship. Think about it, if this kid is allowed to develop freely, the future might even pose a threat to the three Great Nine-Level Worlds."
"This..."
The other two elders frowned slightly. Elder Yue's words were not alarmist but a real possibility.
Elder Xu said in a deep voice, "I now believe this kid is indeed Ye Yun, the number one on the talent ranking."
"Alas, I won't hide it from you. The sword energy that shattered my Cold Moon Great Hand Seal just now had fused with primordial divine power, a divine power that is usually only controlled by creator gods."
"My heavens, frequently using the methods of creator gods, this kid's talent is too great."
"It's over, we must eliminate him! We cannot let him leave this Heavenly Ladder!"
"Agreed, we will easily slay this child!"
The three elders, driven by fear, united once more. This time, their resolve was strong: they would eliminate Ye Yun.
Meanwhile, the cultivators from the other rogue cultivator groups no longer dared to act. After all, Ye Yun's sword intent could effortlessly trap Lord God-level cultivators in illusions; they would only be cannon fodder.
"Kill!"
Elder Huo struck first. With a wide opening of his mouth, a majestic primeval fire erupted into the sky, heading straight for Ye Yun.
"Primeval fire? Hahaha."
Facing Elder Huo's Pillar of Heaven Primeval Fire, Ye Yun showed no fear, even letting out a slight chuckle.
"Let me show you the true power of primeval fire!"
"Soul of Zhurong!"
Ye Yun activated his Star Soul power, and immediately, the silhouette of the Fire God Zhurong appeared behind him.
"Insignificant being, how dare you contend with a demon god?"
"Whoosh!"
The Soul of Zhurong unleashed the Zhurong Divine Fire. Instantly, the Pillar of Heaven Primeval Fire was no match, completely annihilated by the Zhurong Divine Fire.
"Impossible!"
Elder Huo's eyes widened in disbelief. His primeval fire power was like child's play before Ye Yun.
The Zhurong Divine Fire, invincible, instantly enveloped Elder Huo.
"Ah, save me, save me!"
"Ah?!"
The other two elders were shocked at the sight.
Elder Huo, who was adept at using primeval fire, was actually severely injured by flames?!
"He who kills, shall be killed! Elder Huo, I shall send you off."
"Zhurong—Inferno Blaze!"
