Chapter 1696 - 1490: Life Exile

In a swirling, tumultuous moment, it was as if billions of Death Gods converged, surging toward Ye Tian.

In the blink of an eye.

The Devouring Breath was right before Ye Tian, seemingly about to annihilate him.

Xuan Chuqing’s face had turned deathly pale, utterly terrified.

Almost everyone was certain, Ye Tian was finished!!!

However.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tian did not even take a step back, only sighed and said, "I told you there are other means, why don’t you believe it?"

Before he finished speaking.

"Life Exile." Ye Tian uttered these four words.

Instantly.

Absolute silence fell.

Only Life Force remained eternal.

An ethereal and boundless river of life appeared out of thin air, like an illusion.

It suddenly appeared before Ye Tian’s eyes.

Enveloping and covering the Devouring Breath.

And then...

Visibly, the Devouring Breath began to struggle, a terrified struggle, but to no avail; on the contrary, the color of the Devouring Breath rapidly turned pale, as if it had aged.

A breath later, the Devouring Breath no longer had any devouring or corrosive energy fluctuation, as if it transitioned from life to death.

In the end, it transformed into withered, lifeless air, breaking apart piece by piece, drifting away with the wind.

And yet, Ye Tian remained unmoved.

Standing there.

Completely at ease.

"Life Exile Technique is quite handy," Ye Tian thought contentedly. Thanks to the blessing of the Immortal River, the World Tree had grown an entire stage, increasing the amount of Life Force it could instantly provide by more than tenfold for the Life Exile Technique; it was incredibly useful.

The power of the Life Exile Technique had increased more than a hundredfold compared to before??????

It was downright intoxicating.

Moreover, Ye Tian clearly felt that due to the cleansing and refining of the first stage of the Immortal River’s blessing, his communication and integration with the World Tree became more pure.

Thus, the synergy with the World Tree was effortless, smooth as silk, and using the Life Exile Technique wasn’t tiring at all—it didn’t consume energy, but rather, there was a kind of indescribable enjoyment.

"No! No!! No!!!! Impossible!" Fu Yi was finally afraid, yes, afraid, trembling all over with fear.

Honestly speaking, the Devouring Breath was the ultimate move of the Devouring Immortal Body.

Fu Yi had accumulated resources for quite a few days to execute such a move.

Yet it was so effortlessly broken by Ye Tian?

Did Ye Tian really have other means?

Life Exile???

How could this ant who wasn’t even in the Immortal Realm have so many methods?

Fu Yi was both thrilled and scared, jealous and unwilling, and regretful...

His eyes flickered with indecision, hesitation was evident amidst his sinister gaze.

From the outside.

Things weren’t any better.

Look at the expressions of Fu Tonghai and Fu Qingrong; they were grim and devoid of emotion, breathing laboriously like dry wood.

At this moment.

"Life Exile," Ye Tian gently uttered those four words again.

Suddenly.

The river of life seemed to be drawn from the endless void of time.

Suddenly enveloping the entire scene.

Endless and boundless.

Omnipresent.

Like a seamless Life Aura Shield, it descended directly upon Fu Yi.

"Devouring Body Protection!!!!" Fu Yi was shocked, his body retreated explosively, trying to escape, but he couldn’t, because Life Exile was omnipresent, unless he had no life, he couldn’t avoid it, he could only withstand it, the Devouring Dharma pushed to the extreme, transforming into a layer of battle armor covering his body.

Fu Yi looked as if he was wearing a layer of black armor, upon which devouring lights flickered, Devouring Laws roamed, and Devouring Divine Thunder densely covered.

However...

Before Fu Yi could breathe a sigh of relief.

It came.

Life Exile came.

Fu Yi’s body trembled, his face turning into a vicious expression filled with immense fear.

Because, he felt the Devouring Immortal Body actually... actually... actually wanted to shrink back.

"Damn it!!!" Fu Yi cursed through gritted teeth, forcibly operating the Devouring Immortal Body to prevent the Devouring Dharma from retreating.

Meanwhile, the layer of battle armor formed by the Devouring Dharma on Fu Yi’s body began to squirm.

A struggling squirm.

A squirming that fought with all its might to resist.

The battle armor of the Devouring Dharma was trying to both corrode and withstand, and use Swallowing Skill to resolve it.

But it was all useless.

The battle armor of the Devouring Dharma became increasingly withered in its squirming.

Soon, cracks and wrinkles appeared.

"Ye Tian, we can talk this over!" Fu Yi shouted, "I mean no ill will, we... we can talk it over!"

The Devouring Dharma had reached its limit, and in his screams, Fu Yi retracted the Devouring Dharma back into his body, even causing severe injury to the Devouring Immortal Body.

Ye Tian merely met Fu Yi with a touch of mockery and calmness, gazing at him like he was looking at a jumping clown.

Not bothering to acknowledge Fu Yi at all.

"No!!!!" Fu Yi grew even more terrified. After the Devouring Dharma returned to his body, he could only operate his Immortal Origin to form a Gang Shield around himself to resist, yet it couldn’t hold on, Immortal Origin rapidly depleting as Fu Yi let out a hoarse roar.

Suddenly.

Fu Yi looked at Ning Qingqing, shouting loudly, "Qingqing, save me!"

Ning Qingqing instinctively wanted to speak up to plead with Ye Tian.

However, the words were on the tip of her tongue.

She restrained herself.

After all, she was not anyone important to Ye Tian, how could she plead with Ye Tian? It would only be self-humiliation.

Moreover, in fairness, it was Fu Yi himself who was greedy and insisted on provoking Ye Tian, trying to seize the gift from the Immortal River, but Ye Tian turned out to be an iron wall, and kicked a steel plate—it was simply a consequence of his own actions!

Yes, she had previously developed some feelings for Fu Yi.

But that little bit of affection had almost entirely dissipated as Fu Yi revealed his true nature.
