NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1280: Chaos Beast
In the eyes of Shadow and Yuan Mou, the things from Wang Ye's past life are equivalent to Wang Ye's own.
However, Wang Ye does not think so.
In Wang Ye's heart, his past life has no connection with him. Once in Shadow's possession, those things belong to Shadow.
And if Shadow is willing to give him those things, he ought to consult Shadow when he ascends.
What if they prefer for him to ascend within the Yuanling Sect?
"Alright."
Wang Ye said no more, but glanced at Shi Heng and Wang Yifeng, and respectfully spoke to them:
"Honored Masters, I wish to return to the Ice Sect to ascend to the Imperial Lord Realm."
"Although you are my masters, I hope the both of you can observe the process, as it will greatly benefit your future ascensions as well."
"Good lad!"
Wang Yifeng slapped Wang Ye hard on the head, giving him a flick, and facing Wang Ye's puzzled and confused gaze, Wang Yifeng spoke displeasedly:
"You brat, why are you being so respectful to me? Regardless of your past life, background, talent, or power, I have always been your master."
Wang Yifeng felt that Wang Ye's attitude towards him was too respectful, and thus he got angry.
After all, Wang Ye had always held a deep-seated respect for Wang Yifeng, but outwardly showed a casual demeanor.
"Haha, understood."
Though Wang Yifeng's knocking did not cause Wang Ye any pain, Wang Ye rubbed his head and replied with a smile, "Understood!"
...
Yao Demon Mountain.
After escaping from the Yuanling Sect, Zhang Yanling directly went to Yao Demon Mountain.
The Yanling Sect had long been surrounded by the people from several major sects, and if Zhang Yanling went there, he would surely expose his whereabouts.
"Lord of the Universe... I have always underestimated the power of the Lord of the Universe."
Zhang Yanling murmured.
He recalled how just a moment ago, only a spirit body of the Lord of the Universe delivered eight strikes that killed him eight times over.
If not for having inherited the abilities of the Phoenix long before, he would have been taken down directly by the spirit body of the Lord of the Universe in the Yuanling Sect.
Thinking about Guo Yi's earlier attacks on him, a trace of fear emerged in Zhang Yanling's eyes, as if a chill spread through his body, causing him to tremble.
Even though Zhang Yanling resurrected, the despair of death, along with the dissolution of his entire consciousness, remained deeply engraved in his memory, filling him with uncontrollable fear.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Yanling cursed fiercely.
He began to contemplate his next steps.
Currently, in the Spirit Star, aside from Guo Yi's spirit body, others should not be a match for him. He was likely the only Semi-Emperor in the current Spirit Star.
But.
Will the spirit body of the Lord of the Universe reappear?
Zhang Yanling couldn't help but wonder.
He was truly afraid.
He had only one life left.
If this one life was lost, it would be the end.
All along, Zhang Yanling felt his plan was flawless, that as long as the Lord of the Universe did not return, by destroying the chaos entrance at the Yuanling Sect, he would be able to take control of the entire Spirit and Earth Stars.
The plan seemed on the verge of success.
Yet in the final step of completion, he encountered Guo Yi's spirit body, which obliterated all his previous efforts in a single blow.
Almost.
He was nearly trapped at the Yuanling Sect, unable to return.
"Perhaps, only by advancing my power to the Imperial Lord Realm, can I truly overcome the spirit body of Guo Yi. At that point, I would stand invincible in the Spirit and Earth Stars."
Zhang Yanling pondered.
But.
Previously, even reaching the Half-step Emperor Lord Realm was already an exhaustive plan. Now, to ascend to the Imperial Lord Realm was no ordinary challenge.
Just then.
A voice suddenly appeared in Zhang Yanling's sea of consciousness, as if from an ancient era: "Are you wishing to ascend to the Imperial Lord Realm?"
"Who is it?"
The moment the voice appeared, Zhang Yanling's entire body trembled.
He was truly terrified by Guo Yi's earlier assault, causing him to react like a startled bird to any puzzling situation, gripped by fear.
It was exactly the case now.
Where was this voice coming from?
He was a Half-step Emperor Lord, after all!
Surely, in the Spirit Star, no one should surpass his power.
Let alone those from the Earth Star.
The true qi on Earth Star had only just recovered; even if their growth rate was rapid, an Imperial Lord Realm expert could not possibly emerge in such a short time.
Now, as the voice resounded.
He didn't even know where it was coming from.
Nor could he determine who the voice belonged to.
He instantly enveloped his surroundings with divine sense, covering over ten thousand meters, but found no one, even at a hundred thousand meters or a million meters!
Despite extending his range to several millions of meters, Zhang Yanling was growing more frightened, finding no trace of the intruder.
Who could it possibly be?
Capable of such a feat?
Just as Zhang Yanling was about to continue extending his divine sense, the voice echoed again in his sea of consciousness: "Stop wasting your efforts; no matter how far you extend your divine sense, it won't work."
Zhang Yanling ceased the extension of his divine sense.
He understood.
When he reached a certain distance, he already realized with his current power, he wouldn't find the other party.
Yet he was too frightened.
Hence, he only thought of extending the reach of his divine sense.
Upon the reminder, Zhang Yanling stopped, but cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.
Not detecting even a hint of the other party's presence meant their realm and power greatly surpassed his own.
Imperial Lord Realm?
Or perhaps, even more powerful?
At this moment, Zhang Yanling felt utterly hopeless.
Wasn't there not even a Half-step Emperor Lord in Spirit Star before?
But why suddenly, besides the spirit body of Lord of the Universe, who is Guo Yi, was there even an Imperial Lord now?
"As a Half-step Emperor Lord, you're so timid? Has the Spirit Star declined to this extent?"
The voice was filled with a mocking tone.
"Se... Senior."
