"What do you know, junior? You dare to boast at such a young age. Don’t think that just because you used some petty tricks just now, no one noticed. I don’t believe you can still withstand me. First, take this move of mine." After Ye Lingtian finished speaking, his offensive became even more ferocious.

Those who didn’t know the inside story felt that Wang Yufan might be dead this time.

Meanwhile, Changtian and Liu Wuxie merely sneered inwardly; they had witnessed all of Ye Lingtian’s actions.

Wang Yufan watched as Ye Lingtian’s offensive pressed down, and in an instant, he vanished from his original spot, a scene that stunned everyone.

"Where did that kid go? Why did he suddenly disappear?" someone in the crowd said.

"No, he’s there, right in front of Lord God Emperor Ye," someone said in shock.

"What? How could he be so fast?" Ye Lingtian also reacted at this moment; Wang Yufan’s speed was simply too fast. Even though he was in the God Emperor Realm, he couldn’t discern any trajectory just now.

"Is this the strength of that kid? Oh no..." Before Ye Lingtian could finish speaking, Wang Yufan directly covered Ye Lingtian’s forehead with a large hand.

Those who knew about Wang Yufan’s actions towards Ye Xiu earlier now looked as if they had seen a ghost. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

They already knew what Wang Yufan was going to do.

"This... is this kid really going to cripple Lord God Emperor Ye?"

"Don’t say that, but I somehow feel it’s similar. Judging from his speed just now, Lord God Emperor Ye didn’t react at all. Has this kid’s strength already surpassed the God Emperor Realm, reaching the Shenzun Realm? How is that possible?"

Someone said this, but hearing it, everyone in their hearts nodded in tacit agreement.

Indeed, it was so. Wang Yufan’s performance here was undeniably fierce: sealing the Tiandao Imperial Court’s top genius, sending several elders of the Tiandao Imperial Court flying, and finally, intending to seal Ye Lingtian, the strongest expert in the Dao Realm. Such astonishing actions were not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

"Why can’t I move? My realm... Ah." At this moment, Ye Lingtian, in Wang Yufan’s hand, had disheveled hair, and his entire strength rapidly plummeted.

"You... you are in the Shenzun Realm? How is it possible for you to have such a high cultivation at such a young age? Please, let me go. I will submit to you from now on, alright?" Ye Lingtian’s sudden change in attitude made Wang Yufan pause for a moment.

The sealing power in his hand slowly began to weaken.

Wang Yufan slowly released his hand, and a powerful force directly suppressed Ye Lingtian.

When Wang Yufan gave up on sealing his cultivation, Ye Lingtian felt much more relaxed; the feeling of power draining from his body finally stopped. However, the subsequent power from Wang Yufan suppressed him even more terrifyingly than before. That feeling... Ye Lingtian couldn’t describe it.

It was as if he were an ant facing a massive mountain. He was a master in the God Emperor Realm! He was a man who stood at the peak of the Dao Realm. But in front of this young man, he was simply incomparable.

Ye Lingtian painstakingly turned his head to look at Liu Wuxie in the distance. He knew that Liu Wuxie was the ancestor of the Jidao Imperial Court, and his resurrection was also a mystery. But at this moment, he seemed to have understood: it was because of this terrifyingly powerful youth who had directly resurrected an ancient figure.

He finally understood why Liu Wuxie had warned him earlier not to engage with this young man—because he already knew how terrifying this young man was, and perhaps their relationship was extraordinary.

If he pledged allegiance to Wang Yufan from now on, his cultivation would very likely advance to the Shenzun Realm or even higher. Thinking of this, Ye Lingtian’s breathing quickened. Although he was currently suppressed by Wang Yufan, he showed no signs of defiance.

He had also lived for many years and understood certain things. For a young person like this, there were only two possibilities.

One was that this young man might be a prodigy from a higher plane, or the young man in front of him might actually be older than himself, merely having used some rejuvenation techniques.

But no matter which it was, Ye Lingtian felt that he might be fortunate because of this decision.

Wang Yufan then said:

"Are you truly willing to become my subordinate? Not deceiving me?"

"Yes, my Lord. I was truly presumptuous just now, not knowing your power. May I become your subordinate? In the Dao Realm, besides the ancestor of the Jidao Imperial Court, I am the second God Emperor. The God Emperor Realm might be insignificant in your eyes, but I can help you with many things. I only hope you can take me in and not seal my cultivation. It’s truly not easy to reach this current realm after so many years of cultivation.

Therefore, I, Ye Lingtian, earnestly request your Lordship to forgive my transgression this time," Ye Lingtian said earnestly.

"Alright, seeing how earnest you are, I can let you be my subordinate, but I will need to put a slight constraint on you," Wang Yufan said.

Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Ye Lingtian was startled, thinking Wang Yufan might be about to seal his cultivation again.

Looking at Ye Lingtian’s expression, Wang Yufan said:

"No need to worry so much. Rest assured, I’m just leaving a type of restriction on your body. Once you betray me or do something that Tiandao cannot tolerate, you will immediately dissipate from this world. Oh, and that strange cultivation technique you used before, you must abandon it now. Otherwise, if you use it just one more time, even gods won’t be able to save you."

Hearing Wang Yufan say this, Ye Lingtian hastily replied:

"My Lord, I know that the cultivation technique I practice goes against heavenly principles, but it also allowed me to reach my current realm. If not for that technique, I might not even be in the God Emperor Realm right now."

Hearing what Ye Lingtian said, Wang Yufan glanced at him and retorted:

"Look at you, you still have the nerve to say that. Anyway, I’ve already told you: if you use that cultivation technique again, you’ll bear the consequences yourself."

Upon hearing Wang Yufan’s final warning, Ye Lingtian seemed to deflate, slumping down dejectedly.

"Alright, alright. If you perform well, I do have a cultivation technique here that is very suitable for you. However, I can’t give you the entire technique at once. I will give it to that old man, and he will gradually give it to you. I’m afraid you might go berserk if you practice it all at once."

Upon hearing Wang Yufan’s initial words, Ye Lingtian’s face lit up with joy. But his subsequent words caused him to wilt once more.

"My Lord, I’ll be fine. I can do it. I won’t cultivate to the point of going berserk," Ye Lingtian said.
