Spirit energy, endless spirit energy!
After tens of minutes of domain gate teleportation, Ye Yun felt the spirit energy in the air was astonishingly dense the moment he appeared. Even his own dojo was several times less potent compared to this place!
"How dare you return before the handover time!" Before Ye Yun could even take in his surroundings, he was interrupted by a thunderous shout. Several figures were seated cross-legged on the rocks beside him. To the naked eye, their presence was completely undetectable.
This wasn't due to their superior cultivation, but because they had been sitting there for so long that dirt had accumulated on them, and even a layer of green grass had grown.
Even more astonishing, a hundred-meter-tall green tree by his side vanished the moment Ye Yun appeared, replaced by a creature that was half-human and half-beast.
*Swish…*
A black shadow materialized not far from Ye Yun. The creature’s eyes clearly flickered in surprise upon seeing Ye Yun, who was wrapped in lightning.
"Not only did you return to the God Race starfield without authorization, but you've also brought someone from the Human Race starfield with you! Kid, not only are you beyond redemption, but your entire clan will be implicated!"
The half-human, half-beast creature was clearly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the black shadow.
As one of the five elders guarding the domain gate, their primary mission was to eliminate all alien races who intruded into the God Race starfield from the Human Race starfield, including humans.
Their second mission was to prevent creatures from the God Race starfield from entering the Human Race starfield, especially humans within the God Race starfield. Other alien races could pass with the appropriate clearance documents.
The Five Elders were the ancestors of the five major branches of the God Race, with power second only to the main family’s Divine Lord and the three Great Emperors. Two of them had just barely broken through to the Monarch realm, and three were at the peak of the Divine Sovereign realm.
"Hey, you're not a God Race member?" Ye Yun asked, frowning as he looked at the black shadow. It was illogical for the domain gate of the God Race starfield to be guarded, and for a Monarch-realm expert like this to enter the Human Race starfield from the God Race starfield so silently.
"I'm the one who's frustrated! I didn't steal or rob anyone. If they disliked me, they could have just told me to leave. Why do they want to kill me without a word?" The bald man looked dejected, seeing Ye Yun. He hadn't expected to be slower than Ye Yun, who had entered the domain gate after him. It seemed their strength differed considerably.
The domain gate, or Fangmen, allowed those with stronger cultivation to pass through faster.
"Heh, it seems neither of these two are our God Race members. If they're not God Race, then it's simple," an elder said, standing up with a cane. The moment he stood, the vegetation that had grown on him over countless years withered instantly, turning into dust.
As a Monarch-realm cultivator, albeit in the early stage, he could still sense a stronger aura emanating from Ye Yun and the bald man than his own. Despite their surprise, they weren't afraid; instead, they became excited as if they had found a feast.
"Kill…"
Before he could finish speaking, countless lightning snakes surged out from the domain gate behind Ye Yun. Simultaneously, many lightning snakes floating in the God Race starfield also moved, as if summoned, heading towards them at a terrifying speed.
The bald man, like a startled bird, retreated over a hundred kilometers the moment the lightning snakes rushed out of the domain gate, so fast that the five Gods who were watching him didn't even get a clear glimpse of his movement.
"What's going on? So many lightning snakes?" The elder with the cane's heart skipped a beat. His cane instantly transformed into a long mace, attacking the lightning snakes with a massive streak of light. The other four God Race members behind him joined in, launching attacks at the swarming lightning snakes.
"Idiots! You're looking for death!" the bald man exclaimed as he watched the five God Race members’ actions, then retreated another tens of kilometers.
As peak Monarch realm experts, their cultivation was evident. These five dared to provoke the lightning snakes that even he feared. This was no different from seeking death.
Indeed…
After a deafening crackle, three peak Divine Sovereign experts were instantly reduced to ashes by the lightning snakes.
"Who are you! Are you from a higher dimension?" The elder wielding the mace was the most skilled and resourceful among the five God Race members. The moment the lightning snakes targeted him, he had immediately torn a piece of a parchment talisman, thus suffering the least damage.
"Me?"
Ye Yun smiled. He unleashed his true qi, shattering the countless lightning snakes coiled around him. They transformed into pure energy, rapidly absorbed by the black hole hovering about half a meter above his head.
"Who do you think I am?"
"You… You're Human Race? How is this possible? How could a Human Race produce an expert like you!" Before the elder could speak, another survivor, lying a hundred meters away, exclaimed in disbelief.
"Human Race?!"
Not only the elder, but even the bald man, a hundred kilometers away, who had been monitoring the situation, was shocked. His first reaction was disbelief, but then he recalled the existence of the game 'Heavenly Dao,' and felt much more accepting. Although envious, it was somewhat understandable.
"I didn't expect the Human Race to have grown to this extent! Second Brother, quickly send a signal. Notify the Divine Lord! Perhaps only the Divine Lord can save us!" the elder said, transmitting his thoughts to the one behind him as he looked at Ye Yun.
"Save you? You're kidding?" Ye Yun chuckled, his divine sense at the extreme of the third realm. Playing mind games with him by transmitting thoughts was no different from shouting aloud.
"Forget it. I originally wanted to ask about the situation on your God Race side, but my second heavenly tribulation is here. I don't have time to waste with you!" Ye Yun said, instantly appearing behind them and killing the two Monarch-realm experts who were still bewildered by the word 'heavenly tribulation.'
"Damn it, being attacked by three close-range opponents, coupled with the abundant spirit energy in the God Race starfield, the energy of this heavenly tribulation is more than twenty times stronger than before! This is going to kill me!"
Ye Yun had initially intended to kill that beggar-clad bald man as well, but the heavenly tribulation returned, and the bald man was also partially targeted by it. Ye Yun felt a sense of balance, so he simply sat down and focused on enduring this heavenly tribulation.
