CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 504: TEN THOUSAND PATHS GOD EMPEROR, ANNOUNCES TO THE WORLD

"It’s over! That terrifying White-Clad Sword Cultivator has found us!"

Upon hearing Ye Yun’s voice, the King of All Paths Dragon’s heart clenched; a disaster was imminent. This White-Clad Sword Cultivator was far too terrifying. He had absolutely no confidence that the Ancestor could defeat the White-Clad Sword Cultivator.

"Who’s there?"

BANG!

The wooden door burst open, and an elderly man in yellow clothes emerged. The elderly man was incredibly robust and exceptionally burly, his entire being pulsed with vigorous vital energy. Behind him, ten faint Divine Dragon Phantoms seemed to writhe constantly. His eyes were blood-red and exceedingly eerie. His Super Divine Dragon Breath was incomparably powerful, emitting the unique imposing presence found only in the Divine Sovereign Realm. As he appeared, the very fabric of the surrounding world seemed to undergo a peculiar change.

Ye Yun stood in mid-air, indifferently observing this yellow-clad man and the King of All Paths Dragon, a smirk playing on his lips.

No wonder the King of All Paths Dragon didn’t announce it to the world. It turns out this old codger was punishing him here. So, this must be the Ancestor that King of All Paths Dragon spoke of. This old codger is quite confident, actually thinking he can test his strength against me.

Ye Yun’s gaze swept over them, and his expression froze when he spotted the Divine Dragon Phantoms behind the yellow-clad elder.

Are these Dragon Souls? One, two, three... ten. At least ten Divine Dragons have died at this old man’s hands. Even if these Divine Dragons were merely Divine Dragons raised by Dragon Raisers, in my eyes, this is an unforgivable act.

It was obvious this old man had used some Secret Technique to forcibly break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm. Although he reached the realm, his state is unstable. While this method extended the old man’s lifespan, it also damaged his foundation. He won’t live for much longer.

"So... you are the White-Clad Sword Cultivator?" the yellow-clad elder asked coldly, his eyes narrowing. Then, his form flickered, and he ascended into mid-air to face Ye Yun.

The Ancestor is too impulsive, the King of All Paths Dragon thought, standing up helplessly. He remained rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.

He had foreseen this very situation from the moment he was punished. Although the Ancestor’s breakthrough to the Divine Sovereign Realm via a Secret Technique had made him incredibly powerful, any injury he sustained would be incurable. It would only make his already short lifespan even shorter.

"This is also a powerful God Venerable Realm expert."

Beside Ye Yun, the black-clad youth from the Yuan Mo Clan watched the yellow-clad elder, a look of astonishment on his face.

The shockwaves from a battle between two God Venerable Realm experts would be unimaginable. Being so close, he would likely find it difficult to escape unscathed.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly saw the Senior stretch out a hand and lightly tap a finger in the void.

It’s that terrifying Body Restraint Divine Power again!

The youth’s heart skipped a beat. He stared in shock at the yellow-clad elder, who was frozen like a statue, utterly aghast. This Divine Skill even worked on cultivators of the same Divine Sovereign Realm!

This Senior is truly unfathomable! To think he could immobilize an expert of the same realm with a single finger... Truly terrifying... the black-clad youth thought, his heart pounding with a mix of fear and relief. Luckily, this Senior also enjoys smoking, much like their Demon Lord. In that sense, they are kindred spirits. Otherwise, if this Senior were to clash with their Demon Lord, the outcome would be difficult to predict.

What kind of Divine Skill is this?! the yellow-clad elder roared inwardly in fury, his heart in turmoil as if buffeted by stormy waves. That white-clad youth had merely extended a finger, pointing from a distance, and his entire body had become immobilized. Even with his arsenal of heaven-reaching Divine Skills and techniques, he was utterly unable to employ them at this moment. He was like a fish on the chopping block, completely at the mercy of another.

The yellow-clad elder was filled with immense terror. At this instant, the chilling sensation of death enveloped his entire being.

He had thought that after using a Secret Technique to break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm, no cultivator below the Divine Monarch Realm would be his opponent. He never expected that the youth opposite him, merely at the God Monarch Realm fifth layer, could immobilize him with a single finger. This realization plunged the yellow-clad elder into despair.

Standing in the small courtyard, the King of All Paths Dragon witnessed this scene and was utterly stunned.

This... How can this White-Clad Sword Cultivator be so powerful? This time, he hadn’t used any swordsmanship at all! Merely by employing a single-finger Divine Skill, he had frozen the Ancestor in mid-air! Truly terrifying!

Who on earth is this person? He’s probably even stronger than the Sword Pavilion! If he were a Sword Pavilion Successor, he would only use his sword in battle. But the Divine Skill this White-Clad Sword Cultivator before them had just performed had already surpassed the Sword Pavilion’s heritage; he was definitely not a Sword Pavilion Successor.

WHOOSH!

Ye Yun reached out and grasped.

The yellow-clad elder suddenly let out a bloodcurdling shriek. His body trembled violently, and then ten Divine Dragon Phantoms were forcibly ripped from him.

These were ten Dragon Souls.

Ye Yun held the ten Dragon Souls in his palm, examining them for a moment, his expression somewhat desolate.

He had arrived a little too late; these Dragon Souls had already lost their consciousness. They were no different from walking corpses.

"Sigh, be free now!" Ye Yun suddenly sighed, his pupils constricting slightly. The Dragon Souls in his hand instantly disintegrated into countless particles, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

Since they cannot be revived, let them return to the cycle of heaven and earth and enter reincarnation once more.

"AAAH..."

The yellow-clad elder let out a series of miserable screams. After losing the ten Dragon Souls, his Super Divine Dragon Breath rapidly weakened. His cultivation realm also plummeted from the Divine Sovereign Realm to the Peak of the God Monarch Realm. But this decline didn’t stop there. It continued downward until he dropped all the way to the God Lord Realm Ninth level, where it finally, precariously, halted.

However, at this time, the yellow-clad elder was ghastly pale, completely drained of color. A dense aura of death clung to him, and he seemed to be on the brink of death.

"Scum like you are a waste of air to keep alive," Ye Yun remarked with a light chuckle.

The yellow-clad elder’s body also suddenly dissolved into particles, vanishing from the world.

"This..."

Beside Ye Yun, the black-clad youth, having witnessed everything, could no longer contain the horror in his heart. He was drenched in cold sweat, his spirit nearly fled.

This Senior is too terrifying! With a mere lift of his hand, a God Venerable Realm expert had vanished. Fortunately, he had good luck back in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land and had behaved obediently, which was how he managed to keep his life.

The Ancestor... is gone...

The King of All Paths Dragon’s body went rigid. He stared blankly as the Ancestor disappeared from the world, an icy chill pervading his being, leaving him with no will to live.

Ye Yun descended from mid-air, alighting beside the King of All Paths Dragon.

"That old fool didn’t know what was good for him. What happened to him now is well-deserved." Ye Yun smiled indifferently. His gaze fell upon the King of All Paths Dragon as he said, "I can give you a way to live, if you wish to."

"Senior, I wish to live!" Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, the King of All Paths Dragon shivered. He abruptly knelt, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy.

"Henceforth, you shall be known as the Ten Thousand Paths God Emperor. Proclaim it to the world!" Ye Yun stated calmly.

"Yes, Senior!" The King of All Paths Dragon hurriedly agreed. Even now, he couldn’t figure out for the life of him why this White-Clad Sword Cultivator senior would spare his life, yet also demand he change his name to ’Ten Thousand Paths God Emperor’.

「In the time it took for an incense stick to burn.」

The King of All Paths Dragon was renamed the Ten Thousand Paths God Emperor. This proclamation immediately spread throughout the entire Van Dao Divine Dynasty. The subjects of the Van Dao Divine Dynasty were all aghast.

「In a small border city.」

A Divine Monarch Realm cultivator, hearing the mighty proclamation descending from the sky, sat frozen to the spot.

It must have been that Sword Cultivator Senior’s doing, the middle-aged Divine Monarch Realm cultivator muttered to himself, a fervent light in his eyes.
