How despicable above you, said Jackdaw in response to Chen Jiannans taunts; he made no effort to hide his disdain at all.

In order to force Ye Zichen out of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he was even willing to lower himself to threatening Ye Zichens friends and relatives. Even demons disdained these sorts of base methods.

Yes, demons were ruthless, warlike, and bloodthirsty. Yes, they were prone to theft and liked invading others territory.

Even so, they still had a bottom line. They werent like the gods, who were a group of sanctimonious hypocrites.

Chen Jiannans current behavior changed the yao and demons perception of the whole human race.

Chen Jiannan completely disregarded Jackdaws taunts. How is this despicable? If Ye Zichen hadnt turtled up for three years, I wouldnt have been pushed to take things this far. Besides, our goal has always been forcing him out of the pagoda is it really worth fussing over my means?

Even now, you make it sound so righteous and reasonable. I really admire you, and the whole god race, too. Jackdaw cupped his fist as he spoke. When the other human supremes heard that, their faces reddened.

Chen Jiannans methods really were contemptible.

Chen Jiannan acted as if he hadnt heard anything at all. He simply gazed at the Pagoda. Time crawled by. Finally, a full hour had passed since Ye Zichens last transmission.

After this long wait, Chen Jiannans eyes flashed with sinister light.

If you think this is enough to buy you more time, I humbly suggest you give up on that idea! He held his sword to Xue Qis throat once more.

If you want to live, hurry up and make Ye Zichen leave the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. You ought to be quite clear what happened to the last few hostages. With that, he unsealed Xue Qis throat. This was intended to force Ye Zichen out, but to his surprise..

Brother Ye, dont worry about us! The moment he regained control of his vocal cords, Xue Qi shouted at the top of his longs. Although he didnt know how strong his captors were, if they could force Ye Zichen into hiding, they were obviously too powerful for Ye Zichen to overcome.

Xue Qi didnt want Ye Zichen to come to harm on their account. Stone and Xue Lan were still sealed, so of course, they hadnt expressed their view on the matter. However, he was certain they both felt the same way.

On the off chance they didnt, well, they could just go ahead and blame him!

Youre seeking death! Chen Jiannan hadnt expected Xue Qi to say such a thing. His face turned ashen, and he swung his blade at his captives throat.

Boom!

A sudden crack of lightning came crashing down. It landed directly on Chen Jiannans divine sword, forcing it aside. Instead of cutting Xue Qis throat, it merely sliced off a few hairs.

I warned you that if you dared touch them, youd suffer the consequences. A furious roar reverberated through the crowds ears. The next moment, the sky darkened as divine might shook the heavens.

The sea transformed into a sea of lightning before their very eyes. Thunder crackled nonstop overhead, and countless bolts of lightning devoured and merged with each other. The electricity grew, forming roaring divine dragons that soared through the heavens.

Ye Zichen merely stood there, surrounded on all sides by yao, demons, and gods. Lightning flashed through his deep, impenetrable gaze, looking so real, it seemed almost tangible. Lightning snakes coiled around him even as they resonated with the sea of roaring lightning dragons above.

They didnt know why, but even the surrounding sky immortals felt suppressed when they looked at him.

In the past, they could still exploit their superior cultivations to suppress Ye Zichens Dao of the Five Elements, but now, they felt that if they fought, they had a less than ten percent chance of victory.

That wasnt the most terrifying thing, though. What scared them even more was that only three years had passed.

He underwent such a qualitative transformation in just three years. In that case, what level would he reach given more time?

Of the supremes, some were pleased that Chen Jiannan had finally forced Ye Zichen out. If they just waited for him to come out on his own, who knew how long theyd be there? If Ye Zichen died inside, they might even accompany him for all eternity.

Everyone had a different reaction, including Chen Jiannan, Jackdaw, and Yin Hu.

Ye Zichen was no longer the Ye Zichen hed been three years ago.

This was especially obvious when they looked at the sea of lightning. To Chen Jiannan, it was a real shock; the lightning sea was almost a tenth of the size of the Xiao Clans lightning pool. Had Ye Zichen really made a breakthrough in the thunder element in just three short years?

Whoosh!

Before he recovered from his shock, raging flames lit up in the sea of thunder.

The fire merged with the thunder, and soon, the crackling electric dragons blazed with ice-blue flames.

He fused fire and thunder! This time, Chen Jiannan wasnt the only one shocked. Jackdaw was visibly stunned as well.

Thunder was the most difficult element to fuse with others. Just how monstrous is this Ye Zichen kids talent? To think hed reach such a level in just three short years!

Also, that fire! That was obviously ice fire! That wouldnt appear without a rather high level of comprehension.

Gradually, the black cloak covering Ye Zichen changed as well. It was no longer pure black; roaring thunder dragons appeared in the fabric. It was so lofty, it filled onlookers with reference. Furthermore, electricity condensed above his head, forming a crown. The pure aura of a king now permeated the wastes.

They couldnt let a spark like Ye Zichen grow any longer.

You made quite a bit of progress over the past three years, said Chen Jiannan. After recovering from his shock, he was the first to break the deathly silence. If he let Ye Zichen continue his performance, it would deal a severe blow to his subordinates morale.

I have you to thank for this, dont I? said Ye Zichen, who seemed like the incarnation of the god of thunder. With every word, heavenly lightning crackled overhead, and thunder rumbled through the supremes ears.

The thunder and lightning set the onlookers on edge. Theyre hearts thudded in their chests; it was like an emperor had descended to earth!

You said youd wait it out with me, and now here you are, using my dear friends to force me out of the pagoda. Fine then. Now that Im standing right in front of you, what do you have to say?

The composed confidence of his words started Chen Jiannan. However, he and his companions had all become sky supremes; their convictions werent so easy to shake!

Do you really think youre invincible just because you had a few little breakthroughs? Forget it; Im in no mood to waste words with you. Hand over the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and I can leave you with an intact corpse.

Hah. Ye Zichen laughed in response, then opened his right hand, revealing the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Want it? Come and take it!
