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

Page 221

The one who truly cared was not the two hall masters and deputy hall masters of the Soul Hall, but rather a late-stage two-star Dou Sheng...

Ye Chen sensed a special aura emanating from him.

Meanwhile, as Ye Chen observed the people from the Soul Palace, on the other side, among the Starfall Pavilion members who had also hurriedly arrived…

Seeing the unsettled aura emanating from his disciple, Yao Chen could only sigh inwardly, then said softly, "Little fellow, don't be impulsive..."

They are not yet qualified to clash with the Soul Palace.

Upon seeing Ye Chen leading the Pill Tower group not far away, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led his disciples over.

After all, they were members of the alliance, and faced with the threat from the Soul Palace, Yao Chen had no choice but to find a powerful ally to cling to...

As Xiao Yan gazed at the Soul Hall Master, the latter seemed to sense it as well. He slowly turned his head, his eyes, as calm as still water, looking at Xiao Yan from head to toe. Then, he said indifferently, "Is this the bloodline left behind by the Xiao family? It seems the fallen Xiao clan is no longer a threat. Even the so-called most talented clansmen are nothing more than this..."

At this time, Xiao Yan had only just reached the intermediate level of half-saint, which was completely incomparable to his counterpart in the original work, and naturally he was not taken seriously by the Lord of the Soul Palace.

However, because the ancient clan had been secretly protecting this kid to prevent the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade belonging to the Xiao family from falling into the hands of the Soul Clan, the Soul Palace had never truly dealt him a fatal blow.

"However, that young president of the Dan Tower is quite extraordinary..."

Their gazes suddenly shifted to Ye Chen, and sensing the aura of a four-star Dou Sheng emanating from him, even the Soul Hall Master had to express his admiration.

However, his praise displeased one of the people shrouded in black beside him, who coldly snorted.

Upon seeing this, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall next to him quickly smiled and said, "Hehe, what the hall master said is true, but I think the young clan leader is even stronger."

Although the young clan leader is only a late-stage two-star Dou Sheng, even I am no match for him. If he were to activate his clan mark, he would be able to fight against a four-star Dou Sheng!

I believe the position of patriarch of the Soul Clan will undoubtedly belong to the young patriarch in the future.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man's lips curled slightly, but he looked at the Soul Palace Master beside him and said, "Whether you say this or not depends on the Palace Master's opinion."

"Young Clan Leader, you're overthinking things. Clan Leader possesses boundless power and has controlled the Soul Clan for over a thousand years without showing any signs of fatigue. It's too early to be talking about these things..." The Soul Palace Master smiled slightly and shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the young patriarch of the Soul Clan, clad in black robes, frowned slightly but did not say anything further.

Although he is the young patriarch of the Soul Clan and the most talented and skilled person in the Soul Clan this generation, he is not the sole heir to the position of patriarch.

Within the Soul Clan, there are more than a few individuals who have achieved god-level bloodlines, and theoretically, anyone who awakens a god-level bloodline is qualified to succeed as clan leader.

As for the Lord of the Soul Palace, although his strength is not among the top five in the entire Soul Clan, his status is not low, so he has a lot of say in this regard.

Besides the Pill Tower, Soul Palace, and Starfall Pavilion, many more powerful individuals have arrived one after another.

People like the Fire Cloud Ancestor, who hadn't traveled the continent for hundreds of years, all showed up one after another. In the end, the other ancient races also appeared one by one...

Naturally, Zi Yan, whom Ye Chen had always cared about, also arrived with the surprise she had mentioned.

Chapter 489 Gathering

"Big brother!"

Zi Yan's clear voice echoed in the air, drawing the attention of many people around her.

However, when they saw Zi Yan, dressed in a dragon emperor's purple-gold robe, happily run up to Ye Chen, the president of the Pill Tower, and affectionately take his arm, many people felt a pang of envy, but then their hearts trembled.

Having already reached adulthood, Zi Yan's appearance and temperament were no less than those of the alluring enchantress Cai Die. Coupled with the same regal aura, her appearance naturally exuded a unique allure.

Of course, more importantly, the fact that the other party, as the leader of a clan and from the most powerful and supreme race among magical beasts, was so intimate with this Danta Guild Master makes many people reassess the true strength of this Danta Guild Master...

"The Ancient Void Dragon... As expected, this kid's relationship with the dragon race is definitely not simple. No wonder he was able to summon a dragon energy clone at the Dou Sheng level before even breaking through to Dou Sheng. This must be a blessing bestowed upon him by some powerful dragon..."

The Soul Hall's deputy hall master, whose clone had been easily destroyed by Ye Chen, said resentfully.

When Hun Miesheng looked at Ye Chen again, his expression became much more solemn...

If it were just a pill tower, the Soul Palace alone wouldn't be afraid of them. Even Ye Chen, who was known as the strongest alchemist in a thousand years, was not taken too seriously by Soul Extinction.

All that happened before was simply because the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan hadn't focused their attention on the Central Plains. Once the demonic fire descends and he has time to spare, it won't be difficult to suppress the arrogance of the Pill Tower.

However, now that we see that the other party has actually joined forces with the Ancient Void Dragon, and is even a new Dragon Emperor who has unified the Ancient Void Dragon that has been divided for thousands of years, then the significance is completely different!

At this moment, Ye Chen's status among the ancient races present was significantly elevated...

"Hehe, big brother, we're not late, are we?" Zi Yan said to Ye Chen with a bright smile.

Zi Yan was clearly very happy to be able to leave the lonely Ancient Dragon Island.

"See, the surprise I told you about..."

Following Zi Yan's words, Ye Chen also looked at the unfamiliar old man beside her...

The old man looked to be about the same age as Elder Qingmu, with the same white hair and beard. However, the aura emanating from him was so strong that even Ye Chen couldn't see through it!

"This Elder Zhu is a powerful figure who fought alongside my father when he was still alive. He just returned from the Void Space a few days ago, and since the Demonic Flame has descended upon the world, he came with me..."

Upon hearing Zi Yan's introduction, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Elder Zhu, for coming to help this time..."

This can be considered a true elder within the Ancient Dragon of the Void, even surpassing the four great elders of the Four Great Dragon Islands in seniority. In terms of strength, Ye Chen judged that he should be an old dragon at the level of a five-star Dou Sheng.

Perhaps sensing his Dragon Emperor's unusual attitude towards this young man, the old man with the candle swept Ye Chen's gaze over him with scrutiny before nodding and saying calmly, "President Ye, there's no need for such formality. You have done my ancient dragon clan a great favor, and it is only right for this old man to assist you..."

While Ye Chen was having a pleasant conversation, the others were rather unhappy.

Unfortunately, the mere appearance of the Soul Palace Master had already made many people believe that the battle for the Demon Flame was already in jeopardy...

Now, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, which hasn't appeared in a thousand years, has emerged and is even involved with the monstrous guild leader of the Pill Tower. Doesn't this mean their chances are even slimmer?

Yet?

Xiao Yan also shared this idea...

Although with Gu Xun'er's help, he eventually subdued the Netherworld Poison Flame, which ranked twentieth on the Strange Flame Ranking, this only allowed him to break through to the level of a half-saint.

After all, the flame was of a low level and had special attributes, so it wasn't of much help to Xiao Yan.

If he were to succeed in subduing the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame this time, then Xiao Yan would truly be qualified to stand on equal footing with Gu Xun'er, making it possible to rescue his father from the Soul Clan...

"Hehe, Brother Xiao Yan, you really are here to join in the fun too..." Just as Xiao Yan was lost in thought, a loud laugh suddenly came from not far away, followed by the sound of wind breaking, and several figures appeared beside him as fast as lightning.

Xiao Yan followed the sound of the wind breaking and looked in the direction where it was. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly hid it and greeted the person with a warm smile, "So it's Brother Huo Xuan. It's been a long time. How have you been?"

The newcomer was none other than Huo Xuan of the Fire Clan. However, to Xiao Yan's surprise, although the two had met once in the Ancient Clan, they were not even close acquaintances. Yet, the warmth Huo Xuan displayed at this moment was completely unexpected.

Of course, Xiao Yan would not show such doubts.

Huo Xuan, dressed in a handsome white robe, broke through the wind and arrived, accompanied by a woman in red with her face veiled and an old man in purple.

The fact that the other party came in such a grand manner naturally attracted Ye Chen's attention.

After exchanging a few seemingly intimate words with Xiao Yan, Huo Xuan turned his gaze towards Ye Chen...

The Fire Clan's talented disciple greeted him warmly, "This must be Ye Chen, the President of the Pill Tower, right? I am Huo Xuan of the Fire Clan, greetings..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly. He suddenly understood why this guy had been acting so affectionately towards him...

"That bastard..." Xiao Yan cursed inwardly at Huo Xuan, but he wasn't angry.

After all, he knows his own limitations, and it would be foolish to get angry over something like this.

Not only was Xiao Yan not angry, but he also actively participated in the conversation between the two, taking the initiative to introduce Huo Xuan to Ye Chen, showing the same enthusiasm.

"Hehe, I could tell back in the Ancient Clan that Brother Xiao Yan was no ordinary person. It's only been a few short years since we last met, and he has already reached the level of a half-saint..." Huo Xuan suddenly praised Xiao Yan as he spoke.

"Hehe, Brother Huo Xuan, you flatter me. Compared to your advanced semi-saint level, I'm still quite a bit behind." Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

Huo Xuan smiled as well, then changed the subject, saying, "However, compared to President Ye Chen, we are far inferior..."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, but he nodded in agreement, "Yes, Brother Ye's strength has improved so drastically. I can't even imagine such a speed..."

This was indeed Xiao Yan's honest opinion. Considering the time it took him to break through to the Half-Saint level, while his opponent had already reached the Four-Star Dou Sheng level, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was worlds apart from Xiao Yan.

Ye Chen listened quietly to their flattery, feeling quite indifferent.

However, when he looked at the three members of the Yan Clan, he chuckled and said, "I'm just taking my leave first. I see that the Yan Clan members all possess strange flames. Xiao Yan, judging from your aura, you must have also refined a strange flame, right? Given enough time, I'm afraid your achievements will be no less than mine..."

Chapter 490 Demon Flame Space

Ye Chen's words surprised everyone present, and they all noticed that their auras were different.

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao Yan to have also refined a strange fire?" Huo Xuan looked at Xiao Yan in surprise and asked unexpectedly.

Xiao Yan chuckled softly and replied, "Aren't you the same...? Besides, judging from the aura within you, Brother Huo Xuan, your flames are probably extraordinary, aren't they?"

"With the help of the elders, I was fortunate enough to subdue the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame of the clan, otherwise my strength would not have increased to this extent..." Huo Xuan smiled, not hiding anything.

"The Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame, ranked sixth on the Strange Flame Ranking?" Xiao Yan's hand trembled slightly. He only knew that the Yan Clan possessed four kinds of strange flames, two of which were ranked in the top ten, but he did not know that one of these two, besides the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, was actually the Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame!

Ye Chen seized the opportunity to speak up, saying, "As expected of an ancient race, they actually possess such a collection..."

Xiao Yan was filled with envy. He had traveled all over the continent and only found a Netherworld Poison Flame with the help of his girlfriend. He never expected that Huo Xuan would get such a high-ranking Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame just by going back!

"President Ye, Brother Xiao Yan, this is Elder Huo Yao of my Yan Clan. He also possesses a different kind of fire, but it is the sixteenth-ranked Fire Cloud Water Flame..." Huo Xuan pointed to the purple-robed elder beside him and smiled.

"Another strange fire..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly once again.

Why are all these strange flames suddenly appearing in droves? Back then, I tried everything but couldn't find even a single piece of information about a strange flame...

Both Android and Apple devices are supported.

Otherwise, he would never have given up the extraordinary technique of burning incense!

Just as Xiao Yan was feeling disappointed, a clear voice suddenly rang in his ears, instantly bringing a look of surprise to his face...

"Brother Xiao Yan!"

Her clear, melodious voice was as pleasant as a wind chime, and Xiao Yan looked up with a face full of surprise...

A violent ripple appeared in the space not far away, and then several figures slowly emerged.

The person in the lead was dressed in a light blue robe, with a beautiful face like a flower. A gentle smile graced her exquisitely beautiful face, and her long, black hair was casually tied up with a light green ribbon, cascading down like a waterfall over her slender waist. A gentle breeze blew, and her hair fluttered, making her seem like a celestial being descended to earth.

"Xun'er, you're here!" Xiao Yan excitedly stepped forward to greet his girlfriend.

Only then did Xiao Yan truly feel confident...

Ye Chen and Huo Xuan both turned their gazes toward the newcomer.

They didn't pay much attention to the ancient princess, but were more concerned about the figure beside her.

Ye Chen recognized one of the people beside Gu Xun'er; it was Gu Qingyang, the ancient clan genius he had met at the Bodhi Ancient Tree...

Of course, Ye Chen was mainly looking at the other one.

He was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, dressed in a blue robe.

The old man always had a warm smile on his face, and his smiling appearance gave people a kind feeling...

However, both Ye Chen and Huo Xuan could vaguely sense the sharpness hidden beneath that smile.

"The ancient clan actually sent the ancient South China Sea as well..." Huo Xuan's voice rang faintly in Ye Chen's ears.

The latter raised an eyebrow, understanding the meaning of the fire's dazzling effect.

The intention was clearly to reveal the identity of that ancient clan expert to himself.

"Hehe, it seems the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is quite attractive, it even made you bid for a four-star Dou Sheng level expert..." Ye Chen chuckled, turned to look at Huo Xuan, and said.

Huo Xuan simply smiled and shook his head, then said, "President Ye Chen is overthinking it. Although my Yan Clan controls many kinds of strange flames, these are all inherited treasures of the clan. While I am also very interested in this Pure Lotus Demon Flame, I know my own limitations..."

The third-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking is not something I can subdue. The main reason my Flame Clan is here this time is to work with the other ancient clans to prevent the Soul Clan from obtaining the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

Ye Chen frowned, somewhat surprised that Huo Xuan would say such a thing to him.

"If President Ye Chen is interested in this, then perhaps we could join forces..."

"Oh? Could it be that the Fire Clan is willing to help me collect the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said softly.

"If President Ye really has such an opportunity, then it's not impossible..." Huo Xuan said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi, dressed in red beside him, changed her expression. She was about to say something when her brother stopped her with a look.

As for Huo Yao, the elder of the Yan Clan standing behind the two, his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end!

Ye Chen was unsure about the attitude of the three members of the Yan Clan, wondering how much sincerity Huo Xuan truly held in his words...

However, Ye Chen was very clear about one thing: he could only subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame by himself. Any promises from others were meaningless. Therefore, from the very beginning, he was preparing for the worst.
