Chapter 229 – He is stronger!

Ye Sheng’s arrival undoubtedly lifted the spirits of everyone from Nanming Province!

On the other side, the young man in fire-red war armor stood coldly suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this, the Beginner Tier Peak cultivator knew what he had to do. He looked at Ye Sheng and the others with a sneer and said, “If you want to catch up, go somewhere else. Don’t get in the way here!”

His words drew laughter from the people of the two provinces.

Who would pay any attention to a province without even a Peak Tier cultivator?

The people of Nanming Province fell silent, their gazes turning toward them, but this time with cold smiles.

“What’s going on here?” Ye Sheng frowned, his eyes sweeping over the two provinces, roughly guessing what had happened.

Shangguan Jianyun sighed and briefly recounted the events.

It wasn’t too different from what Ye Sheng had expected.

However, what surprised him was the actions of Xu Xiao and the other three, which earned Ye Sheng’s admiration.

He hadn’t expected the four of them to stand their ground against outsiders, refreshing Ye Sheng’s impression of them.

“Ye Sheng,” Luo Wuchang stepped forward, carrying a black coffin on his back, and stared at the Beginner Tier Peak cultivator. “The four of us can still fight! We’ll hold off one person for you.”

Han Shuixian and Balun also nodded, making it clear that the Beginner Tier Peak cultivator would be left to the four of them, while the young man in fire-red war armor would have to be dealt with by Ye Sheng alone.

That was a High Tier Peak cultivator, and the four of them, having fallen in realm, were no match for him.

“Can you handle it?” Xu Xiao looked up at Ye Sheng.

The young man in fire-red war armor wasn’t just a High Tier Peak cultivator—he also possessed a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit, making him stronger than they had been when they burned their incomplete Dao Fruits!

Ye Sheng stood with his hands behind his back and nodded. “I alone am enough! You all should rest. Leave this to me.”

“Don’t be overconfident! After all, he’s also a Provincial Top Scholar!” Xu Xiao hesitated for a moment but still retreated with Luo Wuchang and the others. Ye Sheng could pull people into that Aberration space and temporarily reach the Ultimate Realm, so dealing with this fire-red war armor youth shouldn’t be a problem.

“A bunch of ants!”

The conversation between the group angered the young man in fire-red war armor, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

These people actually dared to think of challenging him!

He considered himself among the top hundred among thousands of Provincial Top Scholars!

Whoosh!

The young man in fire-red war armor activated his Breathing Technique, and his body was immediately enveloped in a blinding red Aura Radiance, with large patches of black mixed within.

The black had already reached 70% saturation.

Not only was he a High Tier Peak cultivator, but he was also only 30% away from the pure black ‘Ultimate Realm’!

With the amplification of a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit, his Combat Power had become terrifyingly strong, undergoing a Metamorphosis!

This sight made the people of Nanming Province tense.

This Provincial Top Scholar was indeed outrageously powerful!

“I’ll be right back!” Ye Sheng shook his head and then, under everyone’s gaze, simply walked forward, not even bothering to activate his Breathing Technique, stunning many onlookers.

“Boss!” Xu Xingchen was dumbfounded. It was true that Ye Sheng was strong, but wasn’t this too overconfident? After all, his opponent was a High Tier Peak cultivator, not far from the Ultimate Realm, and possessed a complete Great Emperor Dao Fruit.

“Seeking death!”

Ye Sheng’s casual approach enraged the young man in fire-red war armor, who threw a punch from a distance.

The punch was incredibly powerful, causing the Void to boil upon impact and drawing the attention of many nearby, who were surprised to see a High Tier Peak cultivator taking action.

Ye Sheng stepped forward, facing this punch with only a light, effortless slap of his palm.

This palm strike seemed utterly ordinary, yet the ordinary hand was enveloped in a black aura radiance akin to a black hole, devouring all light around it.

Boom!

With just one palm!

He effortlessly dispersed the fiery-red war armor youth’s fist radiance, then his palm pierced through the radiance and struck squarely on the youth’s chest.

Boom!

The force of this palm was so immense it nearly caused the fiery-red war armor youth’s eyeballs to burst.

Instantly, his body shot backward toward the ground like a cannonball.

Rumble!

The earth trembled violently, shaking the entire Life-Death Realm. As for the fiery-red war armor youth, his figure vanished directly beneath the ground.

For a moment, dust billowed in that area.

Everyone stared in stunned silence, seeing only a massive, astonishing crater beneath the dust, with the fiery-red war armor youth nowhere in sight.

It all happened too quickly, leaving no time to react—a dignified Peak High-Tier expert had been swatted into the ground like a fly.

That person hadn’t even activated his Breathing Technique, merely strolling over casually, yet he accomplished this.

“Impossible!”

Boom! From beneath the ground, a figure in fiery-red war armor shot into the sky. The armor on his chest was dented, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Once airborne, he stared at Ye Sheng with shock and fear.

Ye Sheng’s earlier palm strike had seemed unremarkable, yet it had nearly shattered his heart.

In the end, it was clear Ye Sheng had held back some of his strength, or else that single palm would have killed him outright.

“Ultimate Realm?! You’ve stepped into the Ultimate Realm?!” The fiery-red war armor youth gazed at Ye Sheng, his face filled with disbelief.

Others might not have seen it clearly, but he had.

Ye Sheng’s palm was unmistakably wrapped in a black aura radiance resembling a black hole—a radiance of extreme purity, without a trace of impurity.

Moreover, Ye Sheng wielded it with effortless mastery, easily controlling the power belonging to the Ultimate Realm.

“He’s even stronger now!”

Not far away, Xu Xiao and the other three watched, exchanging glances as bitter smiles appeared on their faces.

The current Ye Sheng had clearly established himself firmly within the ‘Ultimate Realm.’

No longer needing to rely on the aid of his Alien Space.

Having obtained the complete Great Emperor’s Dao Fruit, Ye Sheng was undoubtedly even more terrifying!

“Let’s go!” The fiery-red war armor youth gave Ye Sheng a deep look, then turned and left via Aerial Flight without a backward glance.

Facing Ye Sheng in the Ultimate Realm, he stood no chance whatsoever!

At the same time, he was awestruck by this place—truly worthy of Fengdu University, where one could witness such an Aberration at the Ultimate Realm.

He had thought himself strong, but never imagined there would be someone even stronger. It felt like he had stumbled into a nest of Aberrations.

With the Provincial Top Scholar gone, the people from that province, both horrified and alarmed, hurriedly followed.

Before leaving, each of them glanced at the figure in the white robe hovering in the air.

Just how powerful must this person be?

To shatter their Provincial Top Scholar’s chest armor with a single palm?

After the reinforcements retreated in disarray, the Beginner Tier Peak expert was undoubtedly dumbfounded!

Back then, he was only a High-Tier Giant, and there was actually a gap between him and true Peak Tier Aberrations like Ye Sheng and the ‘fiery-red war armor youth.’

Coupled with choosing the wrong Great Emperor’s Dao Fruit, he was essentially half-crippled.

The people from that province stood there, looking at each other in confusion, unsure of what to do next.

“Get lost already!” Xu Xiao cleared his throat lightly, glaring at the Beginner Tier Peak expert and the crowd from that province.

The Peak Beginner Tier cultivator glanced at Ye Sheng and couldn’t help but shiver. Ultimate Realm? What kind of Aberration was this?

As if waking from a dream, he hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, alright! I’ll scram right now! I’ll scram right now!”

With that, he hastily led the people from his province away from the Life-Death Stele.
