"No, no!"
Elder Huo roared in the circle of flames, his body burning with divine fire, utterly unable to resist, and gradually losing his ability to move.
"Elder Huo, Elder Huo!"
The other elders from the Sacred Emperor Domain and everyone on the Sacred Emperor warship were shouting Elder Huo's name.
"People from the Divine Sky Domain, the Ancient Domain, what are you waiting for? Save him!"
This time, Jin Wuzhu personally spoke, wanting Elder Yue and Elder Xu to rescue Elder Huo.
However, facing the immeasurable Zhu Rong divine fire, how could they dare to make any move?
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Rong let out a heaven-shattering laugh, like an ancient demon god descending, striking awe into the nine heavens and ten earths.
Of course, activating the Zhu Rong Star Soul came at a great cost. Ye Yun immediately withdrew it after sensing Elder Huo's death, as the Zhu Rong divine power was too potent, and there was even a risk of losing control if his own strength weakened.
"Master, mighty!"
"Master, invincible!"
"Hahaha, Master is too powerful, he actually killed a supreme god in an instant!"
Lin Xueyan and the other women cheered and jumped. They had a feast for their eyes this time; their Master was truly formidable.
"Ah!"
Ye Yun extended his divine hand, rapidly gathering the divine essence left behind by Elder Huo after his death.
"That's the divine essence of a supreme god, and he actually..."
"No way, what is he doing?"
Under the trembling gaze of the crowd, Ye Yun directly devoured Elder Huo's divine essence.
"Rumble!"
Instantly, a thunderous and powerful roar echoed from within Ye Yun's body as waves of divine power surged and collided within him.
Such terrifying power would have caused an ordinary upper-tier supreme god to explode and die, but Ye Yun, possessing the Star Undying Body, was naturally different.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Streams of starlight illuminated the land, merging into Ye Yun's body, transforming the surface of his body into a crystalline starlight state, rapidly repairing the meridians damaged by the divine essence surge.
"Hoo..."
With a breath exhaled, Ye Yun's foundation was once again elevated.
His formidable aura could even suppress a supreme god.
"Too terrifying, is this the strength of the number one on the talent rankings?"
"Is this still human? It's practically a god!"
"His body has already transcended the realm of cultivators."
A large number of rogue cultivators bowed in respect to Ye Yun. They dared not provoke this god of slaughter by showing disrespect, lest a casual gesture cost them their lives.
"Hahaha, esteemed seniors, there is no need for such formalities, but I have a condition."
"Please instruct us, Great Sovereign, and we will undoubtedly comply."
"All the treasures you have obtained, give them all to me. Then, after the treasure hunt concludes, I will distribute one treasure to each of you. This way, you won't be crushed to death on this heavenly ladder."
"Ah, this..."
Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing difficulty.
"Is there a problem?"
Ye Yun turned to face them, his eyes carrying a hint of majestic anger.
"No problem, no problem, we are willing to obey the Great Sovereign's arrangements."
The strong individuals were instantly intimidated, how could they dare to disobey? They all bowed to Ye Yun.
"Ye Yun, you!"
"Elder Xu, am I not allowed to recruit talent? Does that bother you?"
"You actually made them your slaves, how shameful!"
"Ridiculous, I am merely preserving their lives. Do you think I am unaware that your people from the Nine-Tier Great Worlds likely had a premeditated plan to slaughter these rogue cultivators and seize all their treasures?"
"Ah... you scoundrel!"
Elder Xu and Elder Yue revealed expressions of shock. They hadn't expected this kid Ye Yun to know everything. As people from Nine-Tier Great Worlds, they naturally intended to "devour" these rogue cultivator "waste."
"You scoundrels, humph, it seems we made the right choice by obeying the Great Sovereign."
"Indeed, the Great Sovereign can at least guarantee our safety. We are willing to obey!"
"Brothers, follow the Great Sovereign, and at least we'll get something. Following these insidious and cunning people from the Nine-Tier Great Worlds will likely lead to a nameless grave."
Only then did everyone understand the scheme of these powerful factions and declare that they had no further connection with them.
They had intended to isolate Ye Yun with the help of the crowd, but now, Ye Yun had turned the tables, using the rogue cultivators to isolate them.
Elder Xu and Elder Yue's faces were extremely grim, but they knew deep down that they had been utterly defeated by Ye Yun, both in terms of strength and strategy.
"Gentlemen, do you still have anything to say?"
"We don't have time to bicker with you. Elder Xu, let's go get our treasures."
"Right, Ye Yun, you're on your own."
They no longer dared to concern themselves with Elder Huo's situation or the affairs of other rogue cultivators. As long as they could snatch some treasures, that would be good enough. What more could they ask for?
"Hahaha."
Ye Yun turned and left, continuing his treasure hunt.
Under the potent deterrence of the Zhu Rong Soul, everyone had now witnessed Ye Yun's strength. His treasure hunt naturally proceeded smoothly.
With the assistance of the rogue cultivator group, he undoubtedly secured the first place.
"The treasure hunt for the Supreme God group has concluded. Ye Yun, I was hoping to witness a good show, but you, kid, have ruined it."
"Mountain God, I have merely increased the efficiency of this grand ceremony."
"Forget it. I admire your courage and resolve. Since you are the first place winner, I shall bestow upon you the Primordial Divine Power of Mount Xuan Ao."
"Thank you, Mountain God."
"Heh heh, don't thank me too soon. Whether you have the ability to accept this gift remains uncertain!"
"Oh? It seems this is a thorny rose."
"Perhaps it will pierce your soul?"
"Excellent, I have always been eager to accept a challenge!"
Ye Yun walked towards a high platform ahead. The Mountain God activated his divine techniques, and a crystal from the summit of Mount Xuan Ao flew up and hovered above Ye Yun's head.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Waves of Primordial Divine Power, like a turbulent tide, poured into Ye Yun's body.
Instantly, Ye Yun felt his spirit being pushed to its limit, and a force was even attempting to devour his consciousness.
"What is this?"
Ye Yun activated his Heavenly Eye, trying to get a glimpse of what was happening, but his vision was a chaotic void, revealing nothing.
"Terrifying!"
Ye Yun knew that this Primordial Divine Power must contain some form of consciousness. He absolutely could not let it take control of him, otherwise, all would be lost.
"Damn it, this soul power is too strong."
"I'm barely holding on. Could this be the Creation God, or perhaps an existence above the Creation God!"
"Is this what the Mountain God meant when he spoke to me?"
Ye Yun truly felt pressure this time. The Primordial Divine Soul, how terrifying it was!
"Before the Demon God, how dare you be presumptuous!"
Just as Ye Yun was enduring immense spiritual pressure and his consciousness was gradually being devoured, the Demon God's soul suddenly awakened!
