"What, you're the victim?"
Ye Yun was bewildered. Good heavens, in front of this supreme "senior" like him, the Heavenly澜 Star Lord actually dared to spout nonsense. What a bold fellow.
"Yes, senior. I am the Lord of the Heavenly澜 Domain, and this Heavenly澜 City is my base. Now, it's been completely occupied by people from the Heavenly Domain. That Heavenly Domain Lord, Ye Yun, relying on a very powerful supreme god under him, drove me out of the Heavenly澜 Domain. I've come for revenge, is that a problem?"
"Oh, that sounds quite reasonable."
"Indeed, indeed. So, senior, please step aside. We are not here to oppose you."
Hearing that the other party seemed to agree with his point, the Heavenly澜 Star Lord was overjoyed.
"However, the Heavenly Domain is a Level 1 Great World, and the Heavenly澜 Domain is a Level 8 Great World. I would very much like to know how the Lord of an Level 8 Great World like you was driven out?"
"This..."
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord's mind reeled. All sorts of unpleasant memories flooded back. He had fled like a stray dog then. Did he have to recount all of that to this "senior"?
That was naturally impossible!
"Senior, that Ye Yun is cunning and treacherous. He actually set a trap for me, and then that supreme god, Song Ziyue, ambushed me. Otherwise, I, the dignified Lord of an Level 8 Great World, would never have lost to them!"
"Quite ambitious. But how is it that I heard you resorted to underhanded tactics in the Ten Thousand Realms Grand Election and even intended to harm the Heavenly Domain's people in the Heavenly澜 Secret Realm, only to suffer a backlash in the end?"
"What?!"
At these words, sweat beaded on the Heavenly澜 Star Lord's forehead. He wondered how this "senior" knew so much detail.
"A person should conduct themselves uprightly. I see that you, young man, are full of schemes. Now you've even colluded with this elder to cause trouble. I, this seat, am righteous and cannot stand by and watch."
"Senior, you've been misled by slander. Please do not act rashly."
"Hahaha, whether it's slander or not, you know it in your heart! Now, get out of my sight immediately, or I will make you all turn to dust!"
"This..."
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord was speechless. He had plotted and spoken at length, thinking he had succeeded, only to find the other party completely unmoved.
"Alas, Heavenly澜 Star Lord, you've been tricked."
"Elder Xia, what do you mean by that?"
"How could such a powerful figure appear out of thin air in Heavenly澜 City? I suspect this person is also in league with Ye Yun."
"What? The Heavenly Domain has someone even more powerful than Song Ziyue?"
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord's eyes widened, and his heart trembled violently. If that were true, weren't they walking right into a trap by coming here to investigate?
"Senior, please reveal yourself. Why hide?"
Elder Xia, being a core elder of a Level 9 Great World, could not back down, no matter how strong the person before him was. Otherwise, what would the Black Soul Domain's reputation be?
"Since Elder Xia has invited me, I shall come out and meet you."
Auspicious clouds surged, and golden light erupted.
A person stood alone on a banana leaf fan, floating upwards.
A powerful aura emanated everywhere, instantly shocking Elder Xia and the Heavenly澜 Star Lord.
"This, isn't this Ye Yun?"
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord immediately recognized the person before him as the Lord of the Heavenly Domain, the Great Ruler of the Ten Thousand Realms—Ye Yun!
"It is indeed I. Heavenly澜 Star Lord, you were just calling me 'senior, senior' with such comfort. Why are you so surprised now?"
"You scoundrel, you dare to take advantage of me?"
"Heh heh, you called me that yourself. How can I be taking advantage of you? Besides, martial arts are judged by strength, not seniority. My strength is far superior to yours now, so calling me senior is only natural!"
"Damn it, you're seeking death!"
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord was enraged by his words and sent forth a torrent of heavenly river water directly at Ye Yun.
"Heavenly澜 Star Lord!"
Elder Xia tried to warn him, but it was too late. The Heavenly澜 Star Lord had already charged at Ye Yun.
"Alas, with such a lack of self-awareness, a lesson is in order."
Ye Yun sighed and with a flick of his banana leaf fan, a gust of wind surged forth, turning the giant waves back and unleashing them upon the Heavenly澜 Star Lord.
"What?!"
Seeing his own divine skill, the Heavenly River waves, rebound upon himself, the Heavenly澜 Star Lord was greatly alarmed.
"Rumble!"
With a deafening explosion, the Heavenly澜 Star Lord's body was sent flying by the waves.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood. The Heavenly澜 Star Lord realized that the backlash from the waves had clearly been amplified by Ye Yun's power of stars.
"Why is your power of stars so much stronger than before?"
"Didn't I tell you? My strength is now worlds apart from yours. You insisted on 'testing it yourself,' so I had to teach you a lesson."
"I don't believe it. I am a supreme god, and you are merely a middle-tier god. I absolutely refuse to believe you are this powerful."
"Then let's try again. Don't blame me for not warning you, I won't be responsible if I cripple you."
Ye Yun revealed a disdainful smile, which only further enraged the Heavenly澜 Star Lord. The other party clearly didn't take him seriously. He had to go all out this time and regain his honor.
"Heavenly River Divine Skill, Highest Level!"
"Heavenly River Divine Blade!"
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord drew his ninth-rank divine artifact, the Heavenly River Divine Blade, and then unleashed the strongest move of the Heavenly River Divine Skill.
"Heavenly River Breaks Its Banks - Flood Disaster Annihilates the World!"
The mighty Heavenly River water surged forth like a unleashed beast, ferociously devouring everything in its path.
"Quite ferocious. Unfortunately, no matter how ferocious the weak are, it cannot change the outcome."
"Genesis Swordplay: Sacred Path Ascends!"
Ye Yun held the Heavenly Sword Genesis, and the Genesis Swordplay appeared.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
The Heavenly Sword shone with endless sacred light, transforming into a heavenly path. Ye Yun, standing on auspicious clouds, ascended it.
"Slash!"
Endless sacred light, the judgment of the sacred sword.
"Rumble!"
The powerful energy burst forth, causing heaven and earth to tremble, and the sun and moon to sink.
The world-annihilating flood disaster of the Heavenly澜 Star Lord was like moths flying into a flame before Ye Yun's Genesis Swordplay, bringing about its own destruction.
"Ah!"
The sacred light dispelled the flood and struck directly at the Heavenly澜 Star Lord.
He felt his body was like a kite with a broken string, completely beyond his control.
"Why is it like this?"
Disbelief filled his eyes. How could he, a supreme god, be so vulnerable?
"Hmm..."
Elder Xia's brow furrowed. He reached out, and a divine power caught the Heavenly澜 Star Lord.
"I told you to be careful, and you still wouldn't listen?"
"Elder Xia, I... Pfft!"
The Heavenly澜 Star Lord was beaten beyond recognition, utterly pathetic.
"Ha, truly a hero emerging from youth. At your age, to possess such cultivation, I admire you."
"Elder Xia, this is a personal feud between the Heavenly澜 Star Lord and myself. It would be best if you did not interfere."
"Hahaha, I am a core elder of the Black Soul Domain. I accompanied the Heavenly澜 Star Lord this time precisely to reclaim the Heavenly澜 Domain. If you speak like this, how shall I report back to the Black Emperor?"
"Black Emperor?!"
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed...
