In the earliest era, there were an enormous number of ancient violent auras.
At first, most members of the God Clan did not take these auras seriously at all. When they encountered them, they could not even be bothered to spare them a second glance.
But every god thought differently.
Just because some people did not care did not mean everyone else felt the same.
A very small number of God Clan cultivators began researching whether these auras passed down from ancient times could actually be absorbed into the body and turned into usable power.
Thus, those fearless lunatics began touching, studying, and experimenting with ancient violent aura.
And the moment they began exploring it, the aura would flow into their bodies through physical contact.
Then, within only a few breaths, it would strengthen both their physique and divine power.
Their strength would increase dramatically.
Was that a good thing?
No.
It was merely a reward before death.
The truly terrifying aspect of ancient violent aura was that it was the final breath left behind by fallen primordial gods.
Once that breath found a suitable divine body, it would not only grant power—
It would also gradually grow stronger and seize control of the host’s mind.
The original consciousness would slowly become a slave to violence.
Until eventually, the host transformed into a monster that knew only battle.
Killing any god it encountered.
Even after exhausting all divine power, it would continue fighting until someone finally killed it.
From that moment onward, the God Clan began treating ancient violent aura as something to be avoided at all costs.
However, some people saw opportunity within it.
They began collecting ancient violent aura in order to cultivate “death warriors.”
Although those death warriors would not be particularly obedient, as long as they were unleashed inside enemy territory at the right moment, they could produce unexpectedly useful results.
Why not take advantage of it?
Those crooked-minded members of the God Clan believed themselves clever.
And for that cleverness, they paid in blood.
When large amounts of ancient violent aura remained together for long enough, they would merge.
They would evolve.
Once the quantity reached a certain level, they no longer needed physical contact with a divine body.
They would automatically invade the bodies of nearby gods.
The God Clan cultivators who stockpiled ancient violent aura were almost all devoured by backlash.
From then onward, ancient violent aura was officially classified as a taboo.
Upon seeing it, people would retreat three thousand li away.
However, this world never lacked geniuses willing to walk dangerous paths.
Ten thousand years later, a Ghost God named Chen Ziang became extremely interested in ancient violent aura.
After researching it for three thousand years—
He created a secret technique.
A technique that allowed him to absorb ancient violent aura into his body while remaining fully conscious and completely refining it for his own use.
At the time, countless people coveted his secret art.
But every single one of them died by his hand.
Over three hundred years, Chen Ziang absorbed thousands upon thousands of ancient violent auras and successfully stepped into the peak of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
His strength became so terrifying that he was nearly comparable to the primordial true gods.
Across the entire God Realm, he was unmatched.
A supreme powerhouse capable of suppressing an entire generation.
Yet such an existence suddenly vanished without a trace at the height of his fame.
No one knew where he had gone.
Some speculated that he had absorbed too much ancient violent aura and exploded to death.
Of course, many others refused to believe that.
But one thing was certain—
Chen Ziang had opened an entirely new path within the God Realm.
Afterward, many Divine Alliances attempted to imitate him and research ancient violent aura.
Without exception, every attempt failed.
One of the most famous examples was Xuanling Sect.
They gathered five thousand strands of violent aura for research.
But after several thousand years of study, and after hundreds of God Clan cultivators died in the process, they still failed to produce any meaningful results.
In the end, they had no choice but to abandon the project.
All those ancient violent auras were ultimately sealed beneath the sect itself.
After listening to Yinghuo’s explanation, Ye Yu was greatly surprised.
He had never expected Xuanling Sect to possess so much violent aura.
But if so many people had failed—
Then how exactly had Ling Tai succeeded?
That guy clearly looked stupid.
Could it really be true that appearances were deceiving?
Ye Yu shook his head slightly, but he also made a firm decision in his heart.
For the time being, he absolutely would not touch this ancient violent aura.
If he truly wanted to make it his own—
Then he would wait until the day he could defeat Ling Tai.
After pulling the secret technique directly from Ling Tai’s divine soul and learning it himself, that would be the safest option.
Right now, he was only at the initial stage of the Heavenly God Realm. Wanting to oppose giants like Ling Tai and Xuanling Sect at this point was still somewhat unrealistic.
Fortunately, in this timeline, there were still a full hundred years before the destruction of the Cui family.
Everything was still in time.
In reality, he would do his best to keep more members of the Cui family alive.
Otherwise, if all the burden fell onto Cui Yanshui alone, she would be exhausted.
Seeing that Ye Yu had remained silent for so long, Yinghuo assumed he was still thinking about the secret technique related to ancient violent aura.
So she immediately grabbed his hand.
“Husband, listen to my advice. Don’t use this thing. It’s too dangerous! Once your body loses control, there’s no saving you.”
Hearing that, Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
“Alright, I understand. I won’t use it for now. I’ll store it away first. Oh right, besides this, there’s one more thing I want you all to help me identify.”
As he spoke, Ye Yu took out the beast-headed divine token and handed it to Yinghuo and Yu Buxia for inspection.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuanzhen still stood off to the side in a daze.
Ye Yu asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? Why haven’t you said a single word this whole time?”
“N-Nothing! I still have something to do. I’m leaving first!”
Gu Yuanzhen fled the room incoherently, disappearing instantly.
Yinghuo and Yu Buxia studied the divine token for quite a while, but neither could figure out what it was.
“We don’t know what this divine token is either. Where did you get it?”
“I obtained it by accident. It looked valuable, so I kept it.”
Ye Yu did not mention the system reward and simply stored the divine token back into his Storage Ring.
This was the second-stage reward after Qi Yuan entered the God Realm.
Its significance was enormous. It definitely had some major purpose.
He needed to keep it safely stored away until he encountered someone who understood such things.
Yu Buxia, however, had no interest in the divine token at all.
Right now, only one matter occupied her mind.
“Just now, we saw Gu Yuanzhen arrive with her hand on her sword. I’m certain she’s already being controlled by an inner demon. Even though I can’t understand why she didn’t show any signs of violent instability, she definitely intended to attack you!
This is too dangerous. Shouldn’t we strike first and eliminate her?”
“Why even ask? If it were up to me, we’d kill her right now. The two of us together can definitely suppress her easily! We absolutely must eliminate danger before it can grow!”
Yinghuo’s expression was ice-cold, murderous intent overflowing from her eyes.
She absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Ye Yu.
Therefore, Gu Yuanzhen had to die.
Immediately.
Right now.
Not even a moment could be delayed.
Yu Buxia nodded in agreement.
Watching the two women act like this, Ye Yu felt deeply conflicted.
