Chapter 4086: The Great Injustice

Yuwen Juan had consumed half of her Qi and blood, making escape impossible.

She chose a secluded corner, and with a thought, a bell-shaped Magic Treasure flew up, enveloped her, and then disappeared into the Void Realm.

Having been in this business for so many years, she still had some trump cards; the greatest function of this item was to conceal one's aura.

As long as she hid herself, even a Saint Emperor would be unable to find her.

She hadn't dared to use it before because if she were within the Divine Sense range of the Five Great Saint Emperors, doing so would only be a death wish, allowing them to trap her like a turtle in a jar.

After all, this item could block Divine Sense scans, but if they had already discovered her, hiding would be useless.

But the situation was different now; having escaped so far with the Blood Escape Art, she should have already left their Divine Sense range.

The main reason was that she was now too weak to flee further; with less than half of her strength remaining, continuing to run would only lead to capture, so she had to go all out.

Isolating herself from the outside world, Yuwen Juan let out a long sigh of relief, finally feeling a bit safer.

"You all just wait for me, I won't let a single one of you off!"

She was originally a narrow-minded and extremely vengeful woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of that method to take revenge on Xuanji Emperor back then.

Now, she was filled with even more hatred, grinding her teeth in anger at Ye Bufan and the others.

Fortunately, I managed to snatch the Chaotic Origin Energy; it was all worth it.

After briefly treating the injury on her shoulder, she flipped her wrist, and the Chaotic Origin Energy appeared in her palm.

Yuwen Juan looked at the gray Qi mass before her, her eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.

The reason why Chaotic Origin Energy was so precious, making the Saint Emperors of the Five Great Sects flock to it, was primarily due to two functions.

Firstly, it could enhance Cultivation; regardless of the Rank, absorbing Chaotic Origin Energy would cause one's strength to surge, far more effective than any Immortal Crystal.

After all, this was the essence left behind from the beginning of heaven and earth, and its purity was beyond imagination.

Another point was that it could help in comprehending the elements of heaven and earth, which was what the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Sects valued even more.

Once one's strength reached the Five-Rank Saint Emperor Realm, further advancement became extremely difficult; the most crucial aspect was the comprehension of the elements of heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, besides the five basic elements of Earth Element, there are also elements such as time, space, light, and darkness in heaven and earth.

However, to comprehend these elements for one's own use, and to advance from Fifth Grade to Sixth Grade, was incredibly difficult, not to mention the legendary True Saint Emperor who mastered all elements. But with Chaotic Origin Energy, it would be vastly different; after all, Chaos gives birth to all things, and any element could be comprehended from within it.

It was precisely for this reason that after receiving news of the Chaotic Origin Energy, the Sect Leaders of the Five Great Sects went mad, chasing it relentlessly.

Yuwen Juan naturally knew these two functions; she didn't absorb it directly but cut off a small piece of the egg-sized Chaotic Origin Energy.

She would keep this part to slowly comprehend the elements of heaven and earth in the future, which would be beneficial for her advancement to Five-Rank Saint Emperor and even higher Realms.

Then, she held the remaining large portion in her palm, circulating the Immortal Essence within her body, and began to absorb it.

Normally, to advance from Fourth Grade Saint Emperor to Fifth Grade, profound strength was one aspect, and another major factor was comprehending more elements.

Absorbing other Immortal Crystals or spiritual liquids would not have much effect, but this was Chaotic Origin Energy.

According to ancient records, direct absorption also greatly aided in comprehending the elements of heaven and earth, with a high probability of directly advancing to Fifth Grade in one go.

Of course, this was only a legendary record; Chaotic Origin Energy was so rare that typically, obtaining it and comprehending the elements of heaven and earth was already a great feat; who would be so extravagant as to absorb it directly?

But Yuwen Juan was different; she was now going all out, and to enhance her Cultivation, she couldn't care less, especially since she had enough Chaotic Origin Energy in her hand.

"Eh? What's going on? It doesn't seem to be the same as what the legends describe!"

A moment later, she opened her eyes again; she had indeed absorbed some energy, but it was completely different from what she had imagined, seemingly not as pure as the legends claimed.

She looked at her palm and instantly widened her eyes, her eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

The Chaotic Origin Energy, which was originally the size of an egg, was now more than half smaller, only the size of a quail egg.

"This… what is going on?"

Chaotic Origin Energy was the essence left behind from the beginning of heaven and earth, containing an unimaginable amount of energy.

Normally, an egg-sized Chaotic Origin Energy would be considered extremely extravagant, enough to make her Cultivation advance by leaps and bounds.

It should have taken at least ten days to half a month to fully absorb, but the current situation was completely different; it had shrunk by more than half in just a blink of an eye, which was clearly not right.

Yuwen Juan felt a little panicked; this was the treasure she had risked half her life to snatch, how could this happen?

With endless doubts, she ended her Cultivation and held the remaining bit of Chaotic Origin Energy in her hand, examining it carefully.

And just then, with a soft 'pop', the gas mass in her hand exploded, a foul smell assailed her, and then it dissipated into the Void Realm, leaving no trace behind.

"Ah!"

Looking at her empty hands, Yuwen Juan let out a beast-like roar.

To seize this mass of Chaotic Origin Energy, she had even given up on avenging her son, defied the Five Great Sects, burned half of her essence blood, and narrowly escaped death.

But what did she get in return in the end? Absolutely nothing.

Not to mention her, anyone else would probably go mad.

"Ye Bufan, damn Ye Bufan, you must have tricked me!"

At this moment, she finally came to her senses, convinced that Ye Bufan had played a trick on her, and that the mass of Chaotic Origin Energy was fake.

As an old fox, she had always been cunning and scheming throughout her life, always designing others, but she never expected to be so thoroughly outmaneuvered today.

She just couldn't understand how the other party had done it; that mass of gas had a strong Chaotic aura; she herself could never have created such a perfectly realistic fake.

Little did she know that the Chaotic Immortal Art, from its very origin, had a great similarity to Chaotic Origin Energy.

If it weren't for absorption and utilization, even Ye Bufan would have to place the two gas masses together to distinguish them.

And these people had never seen true Chaotic Origin Energy, so they simply couldn't differentiate it.

In fact, that was the case; Ye Bufan still had the Sword Emperor's Clone Jade Talisman unused, so how could he casually give her the Chaotic Origin Energy?

The reason he made it so complicated was to make her take the blame; otherwise, after he came out, he would have to face the Five Great Saint Emperors, and then he wouldn't be able to hide even if he wanted to.

Not only the Chaotic Origin Energy, but even other Magic Treasures would probably be exposed.

Yuwen Juan's eyes were bloodshot, like a wounded beast, panting heavily, her whole body radiating killing intent.

After a while, she slowly calmed down and also understood the reasoning behind it; she had been played like a fiddle by the other party, truly becoming a scapegoat.

What frustrated her the most was that no one would believe her if she told them about this.

Even if she jumped out now and told the Five Great Saint Emperors that the Chaotic Origin Energy she got was fake, probably no one would believe her.

Those people would only kill her first to determine the truth.

"Ye Bufan, you just wait for me, I swear I won't be human until I kill you!"

At this moment, Yuwen Juan was furious, aggrieved, and filled with killing intent; having lived so many years, she had never been so thoroughly tricked by anyone.

But she dared not leave even half a step, she could only lie here obediently, suppressing her rage.
