Chapter 1136: Chapter 1155: Gai Tianyuan’s Chest-Bursting Rage
’Tailing Saint King’ wore a somber expression, his eyes fierce and complex as he looked at Ye Xuan. If observed carefully, one would notice his gaze was extremely flustered, as if someone had uncovered his deepest secret.
"Hiss!"
Ye Xuan secretly took a deep breath, although he maintained an exceptionally calm appearance on the surface, inside, he was already engulfed by raging waves of shock.
’Tailing Saint King’ did not realize that Ye Xuan was merely bluffing him; Ye Xuan only had a slight suspicion but unexpectedly guessed right.
At this moment, ’Tailing Saint King’s’ expression was exceedingly grim and startled, enough to show that Ye Xuan had indeed guessed correctly.
No, it can’t be said to be entirely a guess; Ye Xuan indeed suspected he was Gai Tianyuan.
Well done!
Is he really Gai Tianyuan?
Ye Xuan appeared extremely calm on the surface, but his heart was roaring in shock.
Ye Xuan’s conjecture that ’Tailing Saint King’ was Gai Tianyuan wasn’t baseless.
Previously, when everyone entered the Tianyuan Kingdom, Ye Xuan asked several people how the Tianyuan Kingdom was destroyed.
The answers from those people were unanimous. The Tianyuan Kingdom was destroyed by the Lord of Spirits, and the astonishingly talented Gai Tianyuan also died at the Lord of Spirits’ hands.
Who is the Lord of Spirits?
He is the eternal supreme figure of the Tenth Epoch, and for someone to become eternal supreme, countless corpses paved their way. The Lord of Spirits is definitely not one to show mercy.
Since he destroyed the Tianyuan Kingdom, the Lord of Spirits wouldn’t leave any living creatures behind, yet a Chaos Mist Beast from the Tianyuan Kingdom survived, and it even enslaved Tailing Saint King. This, in Ye Xuan’s view, was inexplicable, as well as a small point of suspicion.
Of course, this point of suspicion isn’t significant, and ordinary people might not notice it, but Ye Xuan’s meticulous nature discovered something amiss.
However, this suspicion alone couldn’t prove ’Tailing Saint King’ is Gai Tianyuan; what truly made Ye Xuan suspect was the blood-colored pearl in his hand.
Don’t forget, Ye Xuan cultivated the Power of Silence Annihilation and the Power of Space-Time, which are among the twelve strongest powers, making him extremely sensitive to other supreme powers.
’Tailing Saint King’ told him this pearl was the Origin Pearl of a Chaos Mist Beast, but when Ye Xuan held the pearl in his hand, the two supreme powers within him surged wildly, subtly repulsing the pearl immensely.
Ye Xuan could further sense a terrifying force within this blood-colored pearl, not inferior to his two supreme powers.
Therefore, Ye Xuan dared to conclude that this blood-colored pearl wasn’t the Origin Pearl of some Chaos Mist Beast, but a treasure left by the Lord of Spirits, containing the power of spirits, likely used to seal something precious.
However, these two major suspicions still couldn’t prove ’Tailing Saint King’s’ identity; what led Ye Xuan to guess ’Tailing Saint King’ was Gai Tianyuan was his reasoning.
When the Tianyuan Kingdom was destroyed, everyone died. If any creature survived, it had to be immensely powerful, and only the astonishingly talented Gai Tianyuan would fit that description.
Relying on the above two suspicions, combined with Ye Xuan’s own reasoning, he boldly concluded that Tailing Saint King was Gai Tianyuan.
A person capable of contending with the Lord of Spirits could very likely escape alive.
Of course, Ye Xuan was merely suspicious, but unexpectedly, his bluff caused ’Tailing Saint King’ to fluster, making Ye Xuan confidently sure that Tailing Saint King was indeed Gai Tianyuan.
Yet why Gai Tianyuan became Tailing Saint King and the process involved, Ye Xuan did not know.
"Young one, you are very clever, clever enough to surprise me, but I can’t fathom how you knew I was Gai Tianyuan."
Tailing Saint King, no, it should be Gai Tianyuan.
Gai Tianyuan gradually calmed down, his eyes serenely gazing at Ye Xuan with a hint of curiosity within.
"Previously, I was only reasoning, merely a slight suspicion, but now you’ve unintentionally revealed yourself, finally confirming your identity to me."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and continued, "Actually, if you didn’t admit your identity, I might not have truly believed you were Gai Tianyuan because the Lord of Spirits would definitely not spare your life. But now, your identity is glaringly obvious."
"You... Are you really Gai Tianyuan?"
Yinhai Saint King trembled, instantly coming beside Ye Xuan, looking at Gai Tianyuan with a face full of trepidation, his eyes showing extreme fear.
Gai Tianyuan, a person tremendously frightening, an astonishingly talented person who could contend with the Lord of Spirits; when mythical figures reappear, how could Yinhai Saint King not be utterly horrified?
"I really like clever individuals, and you indeed are exceedingly clever. But don’t you know, the smarter someone is, the quicker they die?"
Boom!
Gai Tianyuan spoke ominously, as the stiff Chaos Mist Beast transformed into a wisp of black smoke, merging into his brow, unleashing terrifying power, the Creation Divine Light surrounding him, filling his gaze towards Ye Xuan with endless killing intent.
"Creation Realm, he’s Creation Realm! This Chaos Mist Beast is nothing but his wisp of remnant soul transformed." Yinhai Saint King screamed in terror, his steps continuously retreating, facing a horrific being of the Creation Realm, he and Ye Xuan stood no chance.
"You want to kill me?"
Ye Xuan showed no fear, calmly playing with the blood-colored pearl in his hand.
"Only the dead can keep secrets, and my identity must not be known outside." Gai Tianyuan said coldly.
"But if I’m dead, this pearl can’t be shattered, and you’ll be eternally trapped here." Ye Xuan sneered.
"Foolish boy, I just praised your cleverness, yet why are you muddled now? When you took this pearl from the Myriad Blood Pond, the Myriad Seal Formation was already deficient. As long as I seize your flesh, I can still crush the Myriad Blood Pearl and leave this place." Gai Tianyuan laughed coldly.
"Oh? Are you so confident you can kill me?" Ye Xuan squinted slightly.
"Hahaha."
Gai Tianyuan laughed wildly, as if hearing a colossal joke, then his laughter subsided, looking at Ye Xuan and saying, "Although I only have a wisp of remnant soul left, no longer at my peak cultivation, killing a junior like you is as easy as turning my hand."
"If you want to kill me, you’re far too early."
Boom!
Time and space changed, heaven and earth twisted, Ye Xuan stepped forward, only to see the space-time breaking apart, instantly vanishing from Gai Tianyuan’s sight.
"Power of Space-Time?"
Gai Tianyuan’s previously sneering face suddenly stiffened, shouting in terrifying shock, being utterly stunned.
"Power of Space-Time? How does he have the Power of Space-Time?" Gai Tianyuan felt as if his chest was about to burst with anger, entirely in a rampage state.
