Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Ye Yun Makes a Grand Appearance, Liu Yiyi’s Shock

Jiang Hengyue only possessed the cultivation base of the True God Realm. After donning the Asura Armor, his combat power could surge to the Half-step Divine Monarch Realm. However, compared to this black-clad youth at the Peak of the God Monarch Realm, they were not on the same level at all. Thus, it would be a piece of cake for this person to snatch Jiang Hengyue’s Asura Armor.

Ye Yun hadn’t expected that the Ninth Sea Area, an extremely remote location where even Divine Monarch Realm cultivators were exceedingly rare, would be visited by this black-clad youth at the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm. This youth had actually gone to Skyreach Island in the Ninth Sea Area and snatched that Asura Armor. This person is truly shameless! Ye Yun thought. This also demonstrates that Skyreach Island’s strength is insufficient to deter such a powerful cultivator. I’ll have to set up an impenetrable Defense Formation next time I visit Skyreach Island.

...

”Why does Sword Sovereign’s Senior Brother have an extra piece of armor?”

”What exactly is that armor? Its aura is so potent!”

”My heavens! His cultivation base has soared to the Divine Sovereign Realm!”

”Is that a God-level Armor? It actually allowed him to leap from the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm straight to the Divine Sovereign Realm! This armor... it’s simply terrifying!”

”The Sword Sovereign is likely in danger this time.”

”Sigh...”

On the platform, all the God King Level Cultivators were visibly moved, unable to conceal the tempestuous shock in their hearts. Just moments ago, when the Sword Sovereign had unleashed her Killing Sword Technique, such a formidable attack had landed on the Green Armor to no effect whatsoever; it had been completely repelled. In other words, this Green Armor possessed an unimaginable defensive power.

In the void, Sword Sovereign suddenly ceased her attack. She stared coldly at the black-clad youth enveloped by the Green Armor, her aura intensifying. At this moment, Sword Sovereign was finally prepared to unleash her life’s ultimate techniques without reservation.

”Liu Yiyi! You are no match for me. This Asura Armor allows me to directly reach the Divine Sovereign Realm. Considering our fellowship as members of the same Sect, if you beg for mercy, we can still be Senior Brother and Junior Sister. What do you say?” the black-clad youth said gravely, his eyes filled with smugness and arrogance.

For nearly a thousand years, he had kept this body hidden, cultivating deep within the seabed of the Ninth Sea Area, far from the Divine Land. Unexpectedly, on Skyreach Island, he had discovered that a mere True God Realm Cultivator possessed a God-level Armor. This discovery made him ecstatic. If he also possessed such a God-level Armor, wouldn’t his combat power increase manifold? As a Great Cultivator at the Peak of the God Monarch Realm, he naturally knew that such God-level Armor was extremely rare even in the Divine Land. Even an Immortal honoring practitioner might not possess one. At that moment, he had been tempted. He had acted decisively and snatched the Asura Armor. After obtaining it, he had spent a considerable amount of time thoroughly refining it. Now, this Asura Armor had made both his offense and defense terrifyingly formidable. Facing the lethal attacks of Sword Sovereign’s Killing Sword Technique, he no longer felt any fear.

In the square, Ye Yun’s eyes flickered, a divine light passing through them. In this situation, he naturally couldn’t stand by and watch Liu Yiyi get injured. No matter how strong Liu Yiyi was, she was only at the God Monarch Realm tenth layer. There was still a significant gap to the True God Venerable Realm.

With a flicker, Ye Yun appeared in mid-air. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he did not acknowledge Liu Yiyi. With his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed indifferently at the black-clad youth opposite him, his eyes exceptionally cold.

Ye Yun’s sudden appearance stunned everyone in the Jianyun Sect.

”Isn’t that the White Clad Sword Cultivator who slew Wang Teng from the Hegemon Sect? How did he suddenly appear?”

”We originally thought he was going to challenge the Sword Sovereign. We didn’t expect it to be the Sword Sovereign’s Senior Brother who was issuing the challenge! We really made a blunder last time. Looking at it now, it turns out he wants to challenge the Sword Sovereign’s Senior Brother, doesn’t he?”

”Now this will be a good show to watch.”

”They say this white-clad young man is at the God Monarch Realm fifth layer. Can his combat power match that fellow who is comparable to the Divine Sovereign Realm?”

”...”

On the square, those Immortal honoring practitioners all grew agitated, their gazes locked onto the figures in mid-air, voicing their various suspicions.

”Is this...?”

Gazing at the elegant, almost ethereal figure in white, Sword Sovereign, suspended in the void, seemed to fall into a daze. A warm current surged through her originally cold and unfeeling eyes.

So similar... He’s so similar.

The back view of the white-clad young man was strikingly, almost nine-tenths similar to the Brother Yun in her heart.

Sword Sovereign had naturally heard the discussions among the God King Level Cultivators in the square. Only then did she realize that the white-clad young man standing between her and the black-clad youth was the Mysterious Sword Cultivator who had slain Wang Teng of the Hegemon Sect.

”So alike! Truly so alike...”

At this moment, Sword Sovereign’s heart felt as if a hundred colossal waves were crashing within it, her emotions teetering on the brink of losing control. She had yearned for him for a hundred thousand years. Now, with the sudden appearance of someone who so closely resembled Ye Yun, Sword Sovereign could no longer contain her inner feelings.

”Who are you?” the black-clad youth shouted, his heart pounding as a white-clad young man suddenly appeared before him.

”This Asura Armor isn’t bad,” Ye Yun said with a slow smile, leisurely drawing a Silver Long Sword. ”Too bad it doesn’t belong to you. Today, I will reclaim this Asura Armor.”

”How did you know?” the black-clad youth demanded, staring intently at Ye Yun, his mind reeling in shock.

The Ninth Sea Area is extremely far from the Daluo Region. That place is incredibly remote; cultivators from the Daluo Region almost never venture there. How could this white-clad Sword Cultivator know that his Asura Armor was stolen? This white-clad youth appears to be only at the God Monarch Realm fifth layer, yet he shows no nervousness when facing me. He even declared he would fight me to reclaim the Asura Armor. This person must have concealed his true cultivation base. His actual realm might be at least the Half-step Divine Venerate Realm, or even higher. At worst, he might even be an Immortal honoring practitioner.

Thinking this, the black-clad youth became extremely wary. Although he possessed the Asura Armor, he still felt a degree of nervousness when facing a True God Venerable Realm cultivator.

Ye Yun suddenly sensed something; he heard rapid breathing behind him. It was Liu Yiyi’s voice. Although Ye Yun had altered his facial features, his build remained unchanged. The sight of his white-robed back easily caught Liu Yiyi’s attention.

Ye Yun turned around.

Looking at that devastatingly beautiful and familiar face, he offered a slight smile.

Sword Sovereign Liu Yiyi’s eyes instantly widened. The white-clad young man before her, though handsome, was not Ye Yun.

”It seems I was just wishful thinking,” Liu Yiyi sighed inwardly. ”Brother Yun has been dead for a hundred thousand years. How could he possibly appear in the Divine Land?”In that instant, the raging fire in her chest was extinguished, and her heart began to freeze over once more.

”The Asura Armor your Senior Brother is wearing was stolen from a friend of mine,” Ye Yun said with a gentle smile, as warm and refreshing as a spring breeze. ”After I retrieve the armor, you two can continue your fight.”

”That smile...”

Looking at Ye Yun, Liu Yiyi’s heart suddenly began to pound erratically. Although this white-clad young man looked different from Brother Yun, for some reason, the hint of a smile on his face was strikingly, eight or nine-tenths similar to Brother Yun’s...
