“Know this: any being capable of reaching the Evil Rankings of Wuzhong Mountain is nothing less than a brutal deity.
They take pleasure in annihilating the divine clan!
In such circumstances, how could the Crimson Spider Queen Sang Qimeng possibly allow anyone to leave alive?
And given the way the light bent all around, there was only one possibility: Sang Qimeng had ensnared this place in an inescapable net.
To try to flee would only hasten one’s death!
Ye Yu could clearly feel that, ever since Sang Qimeng had appeared, her gaze had never wavered from him.
That gesture was not hard to interpret!
Before hunting an unknown prey, a predator always does this first:
They assess whether they can swallow the quarry or risk being slain by it!
This was crucial.
So at this critical juncture, Ye Yu could not retreat—absolutely could not!
The only way to turn the tables was to rely on his Illusion Dao.
Ye Yu steadied his mind, fixed his piercing gaze on Sang Qimeng, and spoke clearly, “Sang Qimeng, a million years have passed—how have you been?”
This sudden greeting caught everyone present completely off guard!
Sang Qimeng’s brows knitted tightly. She stared at Ye Yu with narrowed eyes and asked in confusion, “You know me?”
“Heh,” Ye Yu sneered. “It seems you’ve grown too comfortable in the Divine Realm, you’ve even forgotten me! Back in the Underworld, if I hadn’t spared you intentionally, would you still ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) be alive today? What a joke!”
Ye Yu’s lips curved into a mocking smile.
On the path of cultivation, who dares claim invincibility?
Everyone survives a few life-and-death battles by sheer luck.
After all, fortune is also a form of strength!
Ye Yu was betting that Sang Qimeng’s curiosity would drive her to subconsciously deduce his identity.
And passive skills that block heavenly secrets always carry a backlash when triggered.
The stronger one’s power, the harsher the backlash!
Only by doing so could he severely wound Sang Qimeng on the spot and snatch a sliver of hope.
As Ye Yu had predicted, Sang Qimeng stared at his unfamiliar face, brimming with curiosity, and began to subconsciously piece together his origins.
But no sooner had she started!
Her entire divine soul felt as if struck by a massive blow.
Her ghost-god form trembled violently.
In an instant, she fell to one knee.
Seeing this, Ye Yu activated his special effect at once!
In a flash, the once-bright Divine Realm plunged into utter darkness!
A pair of enormous crimson eyes filled the sky!
Then, a terrifying demonic-god body towered into view.
The ground seemed to transform into a sea of blood!
Countless resentful souls wailed madly within it!
That horrifying, frigid aura sent shivers through everyone present!
“Bold Sang Qimeng, how dare you presume to deduce my identity? For this crime you deserve death!”
A roar of righteous fury echoed through heaven and earth!
In Ye Yu’s vision, the numbers above Sang Qimeng’s head began to spike wildly.
In just a moment, her Fawning Value soared into the tens of millions!
On the ground, Sang Qimeng knelt completely and kowtowed repeatedly.
“Please spare me, Supreme One! Please spare me, Supreme One!”
All of this transpired in the blink of an eye!
Hong Zhencheng had no idea what had occurred.
Why had his opponent suddenly prostrated herself?
Could it be that she’d been cowed by the Supreme One’s domineering aura?
Tsk tsk tsk, he thought. The Supreme One truly lives up to the title!
The next instant, Hong Zhencheng’s own Fawning Value began to flicker overhead.
But he’d already been harvested several times, so he only contributed eight thousand points.
This phenomenon confirmed one truth: you can’t fleece the same sheep repeatedly—after too many tugs, it yields nothing more!
However, Xie Buyu and Bai Shuang were brand-new contributors!
They’d never given any Fawning Value before.
The numbers over their heads spun wildly!
Without hesitation, Ye Yu harvested all the Fawning Value from everyone present.
Combined with the small amount he’d accumulated earlier, he exchanged it all for cultivation.
After merely two breaths, Ye Yu’s power had leapt to the pinnacle of the Great God Realm!
Damn it—after becoming a deity, the Fawning Value required to break through was astronomical!
Even after harvesting so much, he’d only advanced from the early Great God Realm to its peak!
Still, Ye Yu understood that one could not swallow a giant in a single gulp.
Unless he staged another large-scale sermon in the Demon Realm.
Use quantity to achieve a qualitative leap!
Otherwise, a grand breakthrough remained impossible.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Spider Queen Sang Qimeng, seeing Ye Yu’s countenance shift, thought he’d been distracted.
Seizing the moment, she poured all her strength into fleeing.
Her speed was so great she left afterimages in her wake!
Ye Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She’s gone, thank goodness!
Honestly, if Sang Qimeng hadn’t fled, Ye Yu would have been in real trouble.
Slaying a late Ancient God Court deity is no trivial matter!
If cornered to desperation, she could have been even more dangerous.
With the greatest crisis passed, Ye Yu left his special effect active and turned to Xie Buyu, saying, “Go. Bring that succubus to me alive!”
“At once!”
Xie Buyu answered without hesitation.
In a flash, he appeared before Bai Shuang and subdued him on the spot.
There was no contest—one was a battle-hardened Ancient God Court powerhouse, the other a Golden God Realm cultivator bolstered merely by resources.
It was as easy as plucking fruit from a tree!
Soon, Bai Shuang’s divine power was sealed, and he was brought before Ye Yu.
At the same time, Ye Yu deactivated the special effect.
Light returned to the surroundings.
But Bai Shuang trembled as if fallen into an ice pit, forcing out a bitter smile.
“Supreme One, everything before was just a misunderstanding. Please spare me. In exchange, I’ll offer you half my wealth—artifacts, heavenly materials, divine techniques... anything you desire!”
Bai Shuang spoke with absolute confidence—after all, he had many wealthy patrons.
Resources were never in short supply for him.
But the next moment, Ye Yu slapped him across the face!
“Fool, if I kill you, I get all your wealth—why settle for half?”
Saying so, Ye Yu snatched the storage ring from Bai Shuang’s hand.
Then he smiled softly. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die too quickly. You still have use.”
At this, Bai Shuang’s face drained of color. He clasped his hands behind his back and stammered, “Supreme One, I... I’m not that kind of fellow!”
Those words instantly sent Ye Yu’s anger skyrocketing tenfold.
