Chapter 124: Siege?

He could almost be certain that such a world‑shattering technique, surpassing imagination and pointing directly at the supreme Tiandao, must have come from the hand of that unfathomable Master of the Red Dust!

Xiao Jie's earlier reservation was indeed deep enough.

In the arena, the severely wounded and disfigured Feng Changyin, listening to the unabashed shocked chatter around him, saw his complexion shift from pallor to ash, ultimately turning into utter humiliation and gloom.

He glared fiercely at Yu Huangjie, as if trying to carve his visage into his soul, yet could not speak a word, let out a sharp cold snort, forced his wounds down, became a flash of light, and fled without looking back, not even caring about the phoenix blood nirvana fruit.

Yu Huangjie chuckled, didn't give chase, and happily ran to the precious medicinal herb, carefully digging it up together with the surrounding soil and pocketed it.

At this moment, Ye Wuque slowly stepped out of the crowd and came before Yu Huangjie.

"Brother Ye!"

Yu Huangjie saw Ye Wuque, his eyes instantly lit up, and he leapt over excitedly, "Great that you're okay! I just now vaguely sensed your aura!"

Ye Wuque smiled and patted his head, "Well done, your strength is improving quickly, and this body‑refining divine art is even more impressive."

Receiving Ye Wuque's praise, Yu Huangjie grinned broadly, showing two little fangs.

The surrounding onlookers, seeing this mysterious terrifying young Supreme being so familiar and respectful toward Ye Wuque, dropped their jaws, deepening their awe and curiosity toward Ye Wuque.

After this battle, the name Yu Huangjie spread like a whirlwind throughout the core region of the space‑time rupture, his feats of crushing Feng Changyin and blasting the Nine‑Dragon War Chariot enough to place him among the top young Supremes, his reputation soaring.

After Ye Wuque and Yu Huangjie reunited, they set off together to continue exploring the core area.

As they delved deeper, Ye Wuque gradually sensed that one of the Three Great Supremes' powers flowing calmly within his body—the Reincarnation power—was beginning to exhibit faint yet distinct fluctuations!

This change was not agitation, but a feeling akin to a wanderer returning home, drawn and guided by a kindred instinct!

"This feeling… is similar to when we previously encountered the Ancient Yin‑Yang Primordial…" Ye Wuque thought, his eyes suddenly brightening, "Could it be that nearby… lies an Ancient Reincarnation Origin?"

This thought set his heart aflame!

Ancient Primordial Power, each variant an unattainable supreme treasure, offers immeasurable benefits for solidifying his foundation, comprehending Supreme laws, and forging divine arts!

He immediately followed the faint guidance of the internal Reincarnation power, adjusted his course, and led Yu Huangjie toward a specific sector at speed.

Although Yu Huangjie did not understand, he trusted Ye Wuque unconditionally and kept pace.

However, as they advanced in that direction, in several other points of the core region, almost simultaneously, a few powerful figures seemed to sense something as well, either through secret arts or special constitutions, and all turned their gazes toward the same direction!

Whoosh! A blade of emerald divine light tore the Void, Jun Wentian, the divine son of the Jun family, stepped with the Arcane Step, his gaze sharp, and surged toward that sector first.

On the other side, Qin Haoyuan, surrounded by Fate Runes and seemingly able to pierce illusion, raised an eyebrow, counted on his fingers, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, and transformed into a streak of light to rush forward.

Boom—! The Nine-headed Moon-Howling Sky Wolf hauled a Dark Gold War Chariot, crushing the heavens, and Ye Qingtian, the third‑rank of the Ye Clan, sat atop it, his gaze deep, as if receiving a command or signal, steering the chariot.

Further away, three mysterious figures cloaked entirely in broad black capes, their aura cold and eerie, merged silently into the Void like shadows, also slipping toward that direction.

Besides them, several keen‑nosed or simply opportunistic Heavenly Pride and other strong beings also sensed the anomaly, converging from all directions like sharks smelling blood.

When Ye Wuque and Yu Huangjie arrived at the guided spot, it was no longer a simple chaotic zone but a far stranger, seemingly stitched together from countless shattered mirrors—a twisted space.

Here the Space‑Time Law seemed even more chaotic, light refracting into hazy hues, and within the Void one could glimpse vague fragments of scenes from different eras flashing by.

More importantly, in the central area, a faint yet discernible ancient, profound, seemingly endless Reincarnation‑inducing strange wave emanated!

Though extremely weak, it was undeniably present!

Here, it must be nurturing an astonishing opportunity!

Ye Wuque and Yu Huangjie just landed, their gazes sweeping toward the core where the wave originated, and then their eyes flickered slightly as they looked around.

From various directions, formidable silhouettes arrived one after another, each occupying a sector, their powerful aura openly radiating, making the already twisted space even more oppressive.

East, a flash of emerald light; Jun Wentian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze icy, a faint cold curve at the corner of his mouth.

West, Qin Haoyuan, surrounded by floating Fate Runes, fixed his gaze on Ye Wuque with a detached coldness, as if observing an omen about to manifest.

North, a wolf howl shakes the heavens; Ye Qingtian commands a Nine‑Wolf War Chariot, still seated, eyes half‑closed as if nurturing his spirit, yet the immense unseen momentum is impossible to ignore.

South, the three cloaked mysterious figures stood silently, seemingly merged with the shadows, but beneath their hoods three cold gazes remained fixed on Ye Wuque.

Beyond them, numerous other arriving Heavenly Pride and strong beings scattered around, eyes burning as they stared at the wave's source while cautiously assessing these evidently unapproachable top‑tier presences.

Strangely, compared to the still‑unrevealed opportunity, Jun Wentian, Qin Haoyuan, Ye Qingtian, and the three cloaked figures seemed to focus their attention even more on Ye Wuque!

That unmasked scrutiny, coldness, and veiled murderous intent intertwined, forming an invisible great net that enveloped Ye Wuque.

Yu Huangjie's eyes flickered slightly, his head tilted, muttering to himself, "Huh? What are these guys… why are they all staring at Brother Ye?"

Ye Wuque faced the gathering hostile gazes with a calm expression, even a faint smile curling his lips, as he looked around as if at an old friends' reunion, and said softly,

"They've certainly arrived in good numbers..."

These various Heavenly Pride forces, who see him as prey and wish to eliminate him, have likely been waiting for the moment to besiege him for a long time.

Little do they know… I, Ye Wuque, have been waiting for… this very moment as well.

To draw all potential threats into the open and eliminate them at once! To avoid future trouble!

The atmosphere instantly grew exceedingly tense, sinking into a bizarre Dead Silence and standoff.

The air seemed to solidify, a oppressive feeling like a storm about to break over a wind‑laden tower pervading every inch of space.

Until a moment when Qin Haoyuan, surrounded by Fate Runes, seemed to lose patience first, or perhaps felt he embodied a certain "Heavenly Destiny".

He took a slight step forward, looking down at Ye Wuque with a voice lofty and fateful, breaking the suffocating silence first:

"Ye Wuque, you are a clever person."

"If you're sensible, hand over right now the items obtained from the secret realm, and that supreme treasure, obediently."

"Perhaps… we might still show great mercy and spare your life."

The moment the words fell, all gazes suddenly sharpened!
