Chapter 2260 Five Years
Chapter 2260: Five Years! Chapter 2260: Five Years! Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The God of the Demon Sea stared at Ye Chen’s figure. No one could tell what he was thinking, but his eyes brightened with interest. “Submit to me, and I shall grant you supreme power,” he proclaimed. Ye Chen turned to face the God of the Demon Sea, a mocking smile on his face. “You want me to submit? You are not worthy of that!” As soon as he finished speaking, he propelled himself forward with great speed. Up until this moment, he had been unable to gauge the strength of the God of the Demon Sea at all. He only sensed it was incredibly terrifying. However, what appeared before him at this moment was merely the phantom of the God of the Demon Sea. If the real body had been present, he would likely have been killed instantly with just a single finger. Nevertheless, this phantom was at most a peak-level Sealed Gate realm expert, which gave him a chance to win. “You overestimate yourself!” the God of the Demon Sea retorted with a dismissive smile. He gathered his finger, and the seawater of the Demon Sea seemed to come alive, forming a vortex that ensnared Ye Chen’s body. The Demon Emperor’s daughter appeared before Ye Chen. Just as she was about to strike, she realized that her body could no longer move. Her soul had long been contracted to the God of the Demon Sea and was now enslaved. If the God of the Demon Sea wished, he could decide her fate with a mere thought. “If you wish to live, submit to me,” he commanded. He recognized Ye Chen’s potential. Perhaps Ye Chen could help him escape from this accursed place! Ye Chen’s eyes glimmered with defiance. Even if he were to die, he would never submit to anyone! This was his pride! The God of the Demon Sea frowned, recognizing the pride that was deeply ingrained in Ye Chen. Weng! Weng! Beneath Ye Chen’s feet, a massive vortex emerged in the Demon Sea. The vortex engulfed Ye Chen’s body and pulled him into the depths of the sea. The phantom of the God of the Demon Sea flickered and vanished. When Ye Chen opened his eyes, he found himself at the deepest part of the Demon Sea. He looked up and saw the true form of the God of the Demon Sea wrapped around a colossal pillar. His body was bound in golden chains. The moment he shifted even slightly, golden runes appeared to suppress him. Ye Chen noticed that dark green blood continuously dripped from his own body. Did this mean that the entire Demon Sea was formed from his blood? It was difficult to fathom how the God of the Demon Sea had survived until now. Ye Chen recalled the Demon Lord’s words and asked, “You are that Extraterrestrial demonic beast?” “No.” The God of the Demon Sea shook his head. “You do not have the right to know this.” “From the moment you attacked, I sensed that the bloodline within your body seemed to be suppressing me…” “Although it is quite weak, the feeling is undeniable.” “If I am not mistaken, your origins are very mysterious.” “It is even connected to the Divine Kingdom.” “There are less than three individuals in the world who can suppress my bloodline.” “What exactly are you trying to convey?” Ye Chen asked, frowning slightly. “If you are unwilling to submit to me, why do we not strike a deal?” As soon as the God of the Demon Sea spoke, he felt the golden runes rolling and tearing at his body. “I will grant you five years to defeat the Heavenly Dao Palace and save me. If you do not agree, I can still kill you with ease, even while trapped.” To powerful beings, five years passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Chen remained silent. He harbored some enmity towards the Heavenly Dao Palace. Sooner or later, he would confront the Heavenly Dao Palace. Five years felt too short. Even Ye Chen doubted his ability to confront them within that time frame. “I lack the confidence to defeat the Heavenly Dao in five years. I can only do my utmost!” Ye Chen did not make any promises. Once he committed, he would strive to fulfill it. “You cannot just do your utmost. You must defeat them. Ah!” The God of the Demon Sea let out a furious roar. The golden runes flashed and suppressed his aura. In the sky, a phantom that guarded this place seemed to sense something and extended a finger. The finger descended rapidly from the sky, piercing into the depths of the Demon Sea. The golden runes erupted with dazzling light. The light struck the God of the Demon Sea, causing dark green blood to flow even more profusely. “Haha! Even if you torture me, you cannot kill me.” At this moment, the God of the Demon Sea had lost all reason. He had truly gone mad. Ye Chen observed quietly from the side. Even if he wished to rescue the God of the Demon Sea, his current strength was not sufficient. “Five years! I shall only grant you five years!” The God of the Demon Sea, with great difficulty, extended a finger and placed something within Ye Chen’s mind. In that instant, Ye Chen realized a seal had formed in his mind. “If you do not destroy the Heavenly Dao Palace within five years, the seal in your mind will explode!” Ye Chen’s expression darkened. He despised threats! It could detonate at any moment. His life was no longer under his own control. “That woman’s soul contract has been severed. You may take her with you.” “Furthermore, as I wish for you to assist me, I will not let you do so without compensation. There remains a strand of power I have left within your body. This power is sufficient to save your life in a critical moment.” “Of course, if I remain trapped after five years, this power will be enough to kill you.” As soon as the God of the Demon Sea concluded his speech, Ye Chen felt his body moving uncontrollably. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside the castle. The royal family of the God of the Demon Sea had intended to capture the Demon Emperor’s daughter but were taken aback to see Ye Chen already present. What was happening? Ye Chen was still alive! They had believed that once Ye Chen had been taken by the God of the Demon Sea, he would not survive. Who could have predicted he would appear before them again? “Get lost!” Ye Chen had no interest in them. He approached the Demon Emperor’s daughter. “Your soul contract has been terminated. Come with me!” The Demon Lord’s daughter nodded slightly. She had realized that the seal on her soul had been lifted. The royal family of the God of the Demon Sea did not attempt to stop the two from leaving. So many experts had already perished. If they rushed forward, they would only be courting death. The soul contract was broken, but the Demon Emperor’s daughter was still unable to fly. Ye Chen grasped her hand and lifted her into the air. Having found the Demon Emperor’s daughter, the only remaining task was to revive the Demon Emperor. However, resurrecting the Demon Emperor was no simple matter. Although he had obtained the blood essence, that was merely the first step in the resurrection process. After all, during the critical moment of reassembling his body in the Black Crystal Stone Coffin, the Demon Emperor had failed as he had helped Ye Chen to deal with the Sword of Annihilation. As Ye Chen emerged from the Demon Sea, he sensed two sharp auras approaching him from the sky. “Hmm?” Ye Chen frowned. Could it be that Jun Mochen had not given up and feared that he had not perished in the Demon Sea? When the two figures appeared, their eyes reflected a hint of extreme fear upon seeing Ye Chen. There was someone who could enter the Demon Sea and emerge unscathed? How could this be possible? The Demon Sea was known as the true sea of death! No one had ever managed to escape from its depths!
