Liu Yan'er, upon hearing this, looked at the peerless prodigy praised by her ancestor and couldn't help but feel a good impression.
Just as she was about to nod in agreement, a commotion erupted outside.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the ancient Ye family? You court death."
"Ahhh! What is this, no… I don't want to die."
The crowd was interrupted by the chaotic sounds, and Elder Liu frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.
This moment, so special, brought back memories of his youth.
To be suddenly interrupted felt like being at the peak of excitement and then being forced to hold back.
Ye Wuyou's expression turned grim. He excused himself to Elder Liu and led the Ye family's strong practitioners out of the great hall, arriving outside.
As far as the eye could see, a youth radiating an evil demonic aura let out a chilling laugh, turning several Ye family clansmen into bloody mist.
Then, the bloody mist transformed into wisps of blood energy, which the youth consumed.
Nalan Yong's lips stretched into an extremely wide grin, revealing his pearly white teeth, and he looked at Ye Yu, who was stunned.
"Ye Yu, do you still remember me?"
After a month of frenzied slaughter, Nalan Yong's aura had reached the peak of the Integration Realm, just one step away from the Enlightenment Realm.
Scarlet killing intent emanated several meters around him, and space itself distorted under the terrifying power.
His tattered, blood-stained robe was the same as when his sect was annihilated, he had not changed it.
He wanted to remember that day, his moment of despair.
Ye Yu quickly reacted, his eyes flashing with confusion and coldness.
"Nalan Yong, you're not dead? Impossible, that day I used lightning punishment to destroy your soul and your physical body. No one could have saved you… unless the person I killed that day wasn't you."
Ye Yu soon confirmed his suspicions. He had inherited many ancient legacies and witnessed the lives of many immortals.
One of the conditions for reincarnation was the preservation of the soul.
Therefore, he had annihilated Nalan Yong's soul that day to cut off all ties and leave no future trouble.
The Ye family members now realized what was happening and surrounded him, their eyes showing disdain.
Although Nalan Yong's cultivation and aura had surged, facing the ancient Ye family, his mere Integration Realm cultivation was clearly insufficient.
Moreover, within the great hall, there was still a half-step immortal who could suppress everything.
Ye Yu's expression returned to calm. He slowly stepped forward with his hands behind his back, his gaze falling lightly on Nalan Yong, and he said haughtily.
"Nalan Yong, although I don't know by what means you escaped this catastrophe and even advanced your cultivation so rapidly, facing me, the Son of Destiny of this era, you… are not worthy. To oppose me is to oppose the Great Dao, to oppose the Heavenly Dao, and to court death."
The Ye family members surrounding them all showed looks of admiration. Such confident bearing was unparalleled.
Mu Changqing watched all of this indifferently from the void, with great interest.
"Such dense fortune. The feedback from the Great Dao, the natural endowment, the Son of Destiny, I wonder if the Son of Destiny is more terrifying, or if my Dao is more terrifying."
Mu Changqing murmured, and transmitted his voice to Nalan Yong.
"Defeat him, and destroy his Dao heart."
Nalan Yong's lips curled upwards, his eyes flashing with endless brutality and bloodlust.
The demonic energy around him became even more violent, soaring into the clouds. He looked up at Ye Yu and said.
"Ye Yu, do you dare to fight and settle the grievances between us?
If you are afraid, you can naturally use the Ye family's power to suppress me. However, if you, who claim to be destined by heaven, are afraid of someone like me, who was once trampled under your feet, then your Dao path is also useless. Just be your pampered young master."
Having received Mu Changqing's instruction, Nalan Yong directly blocked all of Ye Yu's escape routes.
He had no choice but to fight a fair battle.
If he refused, his Dao heart would inevitably be damaged, and he would develop a heart demon.
Ye Wuyou's expression shifted slightly. Nalan Yong had used some mysterious method, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds into the Integration Realm.
Furthermore, the aura emanating from him was extremely terrifying, and he was no ordinary person.
Although Ye Yu was powerful, he couldn't help but feel a hint of worry.
However, if he refused to fight Nalan Yong, it would undoubtedly damage his Dao heart and create a heart demon.
Ye Yu sneered.
His inherent strength gave him immense confidence.
He took another step forward, signaling the worried and conflicted Ye Wuyou and others to surround him.
With one hand behind his back, his gaze fell lightly on Nalan Yong, saying.
"Heh, you used demonic methods to gain this cultivation. The price you paid must have been considerable, right? But do you really think you can fight me at the same level? Then you are mistaken."
As he spoke, Ye Yu's aura surged outwards, igniting natural phenomena and auspicious omens of the Great Dao.
Seven-colored auspicious clouds descended, making him appear like a celestial being.
"Among my peers, I can be called invincible. Even if a fallen emperor prodigy descends, or an ancient great being reincarnates, I, Ye Yu, will not fear. You… a mere Nalan Yong, what right do you have to provoke me?"
Ye Yu's surging confidence caused the surrounding Ye family powerhouses to exclaim in admiration and awe.
In their hearts, it was only a matter of time before Ye Yu surpassed the Ye family's ancestor.
In the future, he would surely ascend to the Heavenly Realm, walk the path of immortality, and become invincible in the world.
Elder Liu, from the great hall behind him, looked at Ye Yu's confident back with admiration and said with a smile.
"Yan'er, are you satisfied with the Dao companion your ancestor has chosen for you? Such an unparalleled prodigy, throughout history, can be considered among the top tier."
Liu Yan'er was already smitten with Ye Yu. Her delicate face flushed, and she gazed at Ye Yu's invincible and confident back with infatuation.
"Hahaha, very confident, good, good. I am looking forward to crushing your confidence, shattering your Dao heart. Come, let's fight."
Nalan Yong, having received Mu Changqing's signal, no longer suppressed his demonic energy.
His body was shrouded in demonic energy, his arms transforming into demon dragon arms, and his body growing several times larger, resembling an ancient demon.
The ground beneath his feet was corroded by his terrifying demonic energy, and within a radius of a hundred miles, all life withered.
Ye Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he murmured to himself.
"Extreme Demonic Body, a terrifying physique from the era of the Fallen Emperor. How can you be the Extreme Demonic Body?"
"Too much nonsense, let's fight."
Ye Yu snorted coldly, raising his hand to summon a golden ancient sword. His eyes turned into golden pupils, radiating golden light.
His body exuded an ancient aura, terrifying and powerful.
Behind him, auspicious omens appeared one after another, with faint roars of ancient divine dragons.
"My heavens, this is the Young Master's Ancient God Body!"
"What a terrifying physique!"
"Of course, this is a divine body that is not inferior to the Extreme Demonic Body. Even in the prosperous era, the era of the Fallen Emperor, this physique was considered an outstanding talent."
The Ye family powerhouses exclaimed, their confidence in Ye Yu growing.
Nalan Yong let out a mocking laugh. They would never understand how terrifying the master behind him truly was.
With invincible confidence, Ye Yu brandished his golden ancient sword, cleaving through the void as he attacked.
Seeing this, Nalan Yong blocked with his demon dragon arms, which were infused with boundless, ultimate dark demonic energy.
*Bang!*
The colossal impact sent shockwaves scattering. The surrounding Ye family powerhouses fled in terror.
The ancient great hall of the Ye family swayed precariously. If not for Ye Wuyou's strenuous efforts to block it,
The entire Ye family would have been reduced to ruins by this single blow.
The two figures clashed, their black and golden eyes mere inches apart.
Ye Yu felt a jolt of alarm. Nalan Yong was not a paper tiger but truly formidable.
"Is that all?"
As they collided, the shadows of Nalan Yong's past humiliation by Ye Yu vanished.
His confidence returned.
