Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 185

At this moment, they didn't care about their own safety; they only had one goal in mind: to hold off the attackers and prevent them from escaping!

Meanwhile, Liu Cang, who had originally withdrawn from the battlefield, was quick to seize the opportunity and was already preparing to make his escape.

But before he could even move, a slender figure blocked his way...

"Fairy Hua... damn it!" Upon seeing that it was actually a half-saint powerhouse from the Flower Sect, Liu Cang was terrified.

But before he could react, Fairy Hua, equally enraged, had already struck out with her palm.

Faced with this furious attack, all the blocking techniques launched by Liu Cang and the others behind him exploded almost instantly!

The terrifying gale pierced through space, finally pouring down on the bodies of those powerful members of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Such terrifying power caused almost everyone except Liu Cang, a nine-star Dou Zun, to cough up blood almost instantly. Their bodies crashed to the ground like cannonballs, completely losing their life force.

Although Liu Cang spat out a mouthful of blood, he still had the strength to escape, and with that strength, he flew hundreds of feet in an instant, seemingly about to escape...

But the next moment, a figure in a green robe blocked his way. The smiling expression on that face made Liu Cang blurt out a name.

"President of the Pill Tower, Ye Chen!"

"You answered correctly, but there was no reward..."

With a flick of his finger, a beam of battle aura directly repelled Liu Cang.

Then, a snow-white fist traversed countless spaces, appearing directly behind Liu Cang and slaying his last vestige of life with a single punch...

Chapter 433 The Hidden Hand of the Heavenly Nether Sect

The battle resumed, and it was once again one-sided, except this time the advantage belonged to the Flower Sect.

Faced with the combined attack of Qing Xianzi and Xian Kong Lao Zu, two equally powerful experts, Tian Ming Lao Yao used all his skills, but he could only parry and had no power to fight back.

The remaining experts of the Tianming Sect were simply unable to withstand a single blow from Hua Xianzi, who was also a half-saint... Especially after Liu Cang was killed, everyone in the Tianming Sect could only watch helplessly as they were slaughtered by an enraged woman!

Seeing everyone fighting, Cao Ying, unable to contain her murderous intent, glanced at Ye Chen and said, "Aren't you going to make a move? I don't want to just be a bystander..."

Ye Chen chuckled softly and said, "Okay, but be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, a black figure rushed out. Then Ye Chen saw a Tianming Sect expert desperately forcing back the Flower Sect elder who was entangled with him on a battlefield, and then turned to escape.

But the next moment...

"Illusion, Nine Realms!"

A pair of childlike eyes, gleaming with a faint purple light, appeared in his field of vision, and his body, which was rushing out, suddenly stopped in mid-air...

stop!

A longsword formed from crimson flames pierced his chest in an instant, and then, in moments, it was burned to ashes.

"Hmm, Cao Ying's soul illusion technique has become much more powerful. Even a five-star Dou Zun would find it difficult to break free if they were careless," Ye Chen commented softly.

Dan Chen, standing beside him, nodded silently, admitting that he was still far behind Cao Ying in terms of combat experience.

However, she also possessed soul skills, and because of her stronger soul power, Dan Chen believed that she was even more powerful than Cao Ying in terms of soul skill strength, which was her advantage.

Just as Dan Chen was preparing to join the battle to hone her skills, a burst of fiery energy flashed from a mountain peak deep within the Flower Sect...

If it were anyone else, they might not have noticed this change on this battlefield where fighting spirits were flying everywhere, but Ye Chen was different.

Putting aside his powerful and acute senses from his Heavenly Realm soul, his sensitivity to the aura of flames alone was enough for him to detect the problem...

"A great battle is raging here. Does the Flower Sect have some hidden tricks up its sleeve?"

But that's not right either. After all, if they hadn't returned in time, the entire Hua Zong group might have been wiped out by now. What good would having a backup plan be then?

"wrong!"

Ye Chen's gaze swept across the entire room, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"The Heavenly Nether Sect should also have a Crimson Flame Evil Lord, an eight-star Dou Zun. He's a minor character who appeared in the original story, so why didn't he show up this time..."

Upon discovering the key point—or rather, the blind spot—Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He then reached out and grabbed Dan Chen's small hand, hurriedly saying, "Come on, let's catch the thief..."

Completely unaware of what was happening, Dan Chen was bewildered as Ye Chen pulled her into the Flower Sect Mountains.

Just as she was wondering if her brother Ye was about to unleash his beastly desires, the two of them stopped on a desolate mountain.

& nbs

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, because in his field of vision, there was a mysterious cave on this desolate mountain, and judging from the surrounding area, it seemed that someone lived there...

The fiery aura he had sensed earlier was now inside this cave!

"Let's go in!" After concealing their presence with their immense soul power, Ye Chen and Dan Chen entered the cave directly.

Meanwhile, deep inside the cave, the once pitch-black cave was now illuminated by flames as if it were daytime.

Something inside the cave seemed to be burning, making a sizzling sound.

The Crimson Flame Evil Lord, who was not present on the battlefield, was currently manipulating the flames. Upon seeing this, his face lit up with even greater joy. He changed his hand seals, and all the Heavenly Refining Flames in the cave were gathered together and concentrated in the center of the formation, burning fiercely.

The Heavenly Flame burned for a full half hour before a "sizzle" was heard, and a chilling aura swept across the entire mountain. Even the Crimson Flame Evil Lord, who possessed a strange flame, couldn't help but shiver.

A dark figure emerged from the breach in the seal scorched by the Heavenly Flame. Crimson Flame Evil Lord put away the Heavenly Flame and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, saying, "Crimson Flame pays respects to Lord Netherworld Prince."

Clearly, the reason why the Crimson Flame Evil Lord did not participate in the great battle was because he was sent by the Heavenly Netherworld Old Demon to rescue this Netherworld Child! And the latter was none other than the former sect master of the Heavenly Netherworld Sect!

Beneath the black robe, Youmingzi was enveloped in a chilling battle aura, his strength fluctuating wildly and unpredictably.

"That old hag Hua Yu, even on her deathbed she wanted to drag me down with her, hahaha, but I'm still alive, that's fate!" Youmingzi let out a hoarse laugh, and a vortex of cold battle qi formed around his body, nourishing his heavily injured body.

"It's you, Chi Yan? Hmm, where is Hua Yu now?!" You Mingzi's cold gaze fell on Chi Yan.

Crimson Flame Evil Lord hurriedly replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the former Sect Master of the Flower Sect, Hua Yu, is dead."

"Dead? Hahahaha, good riddance..." Youmingzi laughed loudly.

Upon seeing this, the Crimson Flame Evil Lord quickly threw a figure out and continued, "This is the successor chosen by Hua Yu, and all of her battle qi is sealed within this person's body!"

The one captured by the Crimson Flame Evil Lord was none other than Yun Yun, who had been living in seclusion here!

This poor woman, who only wanted a peaceful life, was captured by the infiltrated Crimson Flame Evil Lord before the great battle even began...

If the Crimson Flame Evil Lord hadn't been so aware of the Netherworld Prince's cruelty in leaving this woman as "food" for his awakening, she would probably have already perished at his hands.

Upon hearing Crimson Flame Evil Lord's words, Youmingzi's eyes immediately flashed with a blood-red light, and he chuckled strangely, "Heh heh, you actually obtained that bitch Hua Yu's entire inheritance? Perfect, I'll use you to heal my wounds!"

After speaking, Youmingzi raised his hand and grabbed at Yunyun on the ground. A terrifyingly cold aura instantly froze her very soul...

Seeing that she was about to be used as nourishment by such an old monster, Yun Yun felt a great fear in her heart. At the same time, the seal left by Granny Hua Yu in her body shattered instantly!

A terrifying aura unique to peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun experts instantly soared into the sky, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse...

Similarly, under such an outburst, the chill that was about to freeze Yun Yun's entire body was instantly dissipated, and the two people beside her, Chi Yan Xie Jun and You Ming Zi, had to take two steps back.

Chapter 434 Gift

Sensing the violent power erupting from inside the cave, Ye Chen's immense soul force instantly spread outwards.

Then, he saw Yun Yun, who was almost bursting apart by the immense battle aura...

"Oh no!" This scene also startled Ye Chen.

Thankfully, I made it through, otherwise Yun Yun would have truly perished.

With her current physical condition, she simply cannot withstand such a terrifying amount of battle qi. Even if she were lucky enough not to die at the hands of the Crimson Flame Evil Lord and the Netherworld Child, she would be burst apart by the battle qi.

Transforming into a streak of light, Ye Chen instantly appeared in the arena. He then pointed a finger, and purplish-brown battle qi rapidly invaded Yun Yun's body, subsequently suppressing the massive battle qi within her...

Ye Chen's appearance greatly surprised You Mingzi and the other person, who obviously did not expect that there would be an outsider present at this time.

"It's the Pill Tower President?!" Crimson Flame Evil Monarch immediately recognized Ye Chen's identity, and his expression changed drastically. "Not good, Elder Sect Master, retreat quickly! This person is powerful and can fight a Dou Sheng!"

Youmingzi was startled by these words, but judging from Ye Chen's aura, he hadn't even reached the peak of Dou Zun. Although he didn't doubt Chiyan Xiejun's words, he had other thoughts...

"If I could devour all of these people, I could immediately return to my peak condition!"

Thinking of this, a cruel smile flashed across Youmingzi's face. Then, to the incredulous gaze of Chiyan Xiejun, he pointed a finger, and a torrent of chilling battle qi poured out, freezing him in the blink of an eye...

"Hehe, being able to become my healing aid is the greatest reward I can give you."

After saying that, the Crimson Flame Evil Lord's entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Youmingzi opened his mouth and sucked the Crimson Flame Evil Lord's flesh and blood into his mouth.

With the healing power of the Crimson Flame Evil Lord's flesh and blood, Youmingzi's previously unstable aura stabilized somewhat. Although he had not recovered to the strength of a one-star Dou Sheng before his serious injury, he now had the ability to fight against a nine-star peak Dou Zun.

If he were to devour a few more powerful individuals, his strength would become even more terrifying!

At this moment, Ye Chen finally resealed the fighting spirit within Yun Yun's body, and then witnessed the scene of You Mingzi devouring the Crimson Flame Evil Lord...

Seeing the flesh and blood being swallowed up by Youmingzi, Ye Chen did not stop him immediately. Instead, he collected the two flame seeds left behind by the Crimson Flame Evil Lord after his death.

"A new strange flame, the Heaven-Burning Flame, and a beast-fire Heaven-Refining Flame from the ancient divine beast Qilin. Not bad, not bad, both are very powerful flames..."

Although the Heavenly Flame of Burning Heaven did not appear on the list of strange flames, its power was not inferior, even stronger than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. As for the Heavenly Refining Flame, although it was a beast flame, it originated from the ancient divine beast Qilin, an existence on par with the Ancient Void Dragon, and its beast flame power was even stronger than the Heavenly Flame of Burning Heaven!

Seeing Ye Chen's complete disregard for him, Youmingzi was instantly enraged.

"Youngster, I am Youmingzi, the sect master of the Tianming Sect! Kneel down and beg for mercy!"

As Youmingzi spoke, his chilling fighting spirit condensed into a giant hand, which pressed down on Ye Chen's head, intending to force him to kneel down.

"Hmm? As expected of a former Dou Sheng powerhouse, even with only a fraction of his former strength remaining, he is still far superior to an ordinary nine-star Dou Zun..."

From the other party's aura, Ye Chen could even feel the pressure unique to a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

Unfortunately, Youmingzi, who had been suppressed for hundreds of years, was already outwardly strong but inwardly weak. If he hadn't devoured the Crimson Flame Evil Lord, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single move from Ye Chen.

&n

At this moment, Ye Chen also learned of the Heavenly Nether Sect's plans...

They first subdued the Flower Sect with violence, which also attracted the attention of the Flower Sect's experts, giving them time to rescue Youmingzi.

Before Qinghua Fairy and the other two arrive, all that is needed is for Youmingzi to recover to the strength of a half-saint, which will be enough to suppress the former.

At that time, given the evil cultivation method of the Heavenly Nether Sect that devours flesh and blood, it's possible that while restoring Youmingzi's strength, it could also help the Heavenly Nether Old Demon achieve a breakthrough...

With two Dou Sheng powerhouses, and having absorbed all the power and resources of the Flower Sect, the Heavenly Nether Sect might actually have the confidence to compete with the Pill Tower!

Unfortunately, with Ye Chen's arrival, all of Tianming Sect's plans have come to naught.

A fiery blade flew from Ye Chen's hand, easily splitting the giant hand formed from cold battle qi in two.

"Strange fire? I hate those who play with fire the most! Kid, prepare to die!"

Seeing his casual strike broken by the opponent, a chilling killing intent filled the heavens and earth. Youmingzi's voice was unusually cold: "You dare to slap this saint's face? You're courting death!"

Sensing the killing intent in his opponent, Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Kill me? With your half-dead state right now?"

Even in his prime, Ye Chen wouldn't necessarily be afraid of this Youmingzi, let alone now that the old man is just an empty shell...

"Insolence! Take this Nine Netherworld Hand strike from me!"

Feeling slighted, Youmingzi flew into a rage. A large, black hand, like a ghostly claw, pierced through space and flashed toward Ye Chen's head.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you..."

"Dragon Bite!"

Dragon's Bite, comparable in power to a mid-level Heaven-rank technique, would require some time to execute even for Ye Chen in a combat setting. However, as a skill with built-in cheat-like abilities, Ye Chen's Dragon's Bite is instantaneous…

With a single punch, a terrifying devouring force spread out, not only swallowing up Youmingzi's pitch-black hand, but also nearly destroying half of Youmingzi's body due to his carelessness.

"Ah! How is this possible? You damned bastard..." Youmingzi, who barely escaped the dragon's bite, let out a shrill scream.

Looking at his lost left arm and left leg, he was filled with disbelief.

"How could you possibly use such a powerful fighting technique so casually?!"

That's an attack with the power of a Heaven-Rank Battle Technique; even a Battle Saint couldn't cast it instantly!

Unfortunately, Ye Chen had no intention of answering his question. His follow-up punch pierced through You Mingzi's body, plunging him into extreme weakness once again.

It must be said that the vitality of a Dou Sheng powerhouse is truly remarkable.

Having survived being sealed away for so many years, and now even with Ye Chen's body shattered, it's still alive and kicking...

"Spare me! I'm willing to be your slave!" Seeing that he had just regained his freedom and was about to be beaten to death by this kid in front of him, Youmingzi finally became afraid and hurriedly begged for mercy.
