Chapter 2472 2446 Madness (Five Updates)
Chapter 2472: Chapter 2446: Madness! (Five Updates) Chapter 2472: Chapter 2446: Madness! (Five Updates) And Ye Chen, a mere Sealed Gate martial artist, was actually capable of absorbing the Extreme Evil Energy? It was simply inconceivable!
Elder Wen’s mind suddenly flashed back to the words Ye Chen had said to him before the Physical Test…
What if the Demon Iron were damaged, what then?
“No good!” Elder Wen’s complexion changed drastically, as he was about to burst out of the attic to retrieve the Demon Iron!
Although he had told Ye Chen that he would not be held responsible for damaging the Demon Iron, this artifact, after all, was considered a Supreme Treasure of the Divine Alliance! How could it possibly be allowed to be destroyed? He had only said so because he believed that there was not the slightest chance the competitors would damage it!
But now, Ye Chen was actually absorbing that Extreme Evil Energy?
The Extreme Evil Energy was the root of the Demon Iron; if it lost this energy, wouldn’t the Demon Iron turn to dust in an instant?
Just as Elder Wen was about to take action, Tu Lanxin’s voice once again resounded!
“Elder Wen, didn’t you say that contestants are not responsible for any damage to the Demon Iron during the competition?”
Elder Wen’s face instantly fell, a picture of gloom. Indeed, he had said as much, but if the Divine Alliance learned of this, he feared he wouldn’t get off lightly…
However, confronted by Tu Lanxin’s words, Elder Wen could only let out a sigh and reluctantly sit back down. After all, he was not one to go back on his word, even if it was a casual remark.
Now he could only pray that Ye Chen’s body would reach its limit and that he would have to drop out of the competition immediately…
At this moment, Ye Chen’s face was full of rapturous joy. He had succeeded, truly succeeded; the Divine Ape Blood in his body had been fully activated and merged into his marrow!
The effect was even better than what Ye Chen had anticipated!
Now, even without wielding the Heaven Splitting Power, he could barely withstand the weight of the Green Lotus Annihilation Sword, though of course, to handle it with ease, he still needed to exert the Heaven Splitting Power.
However, even so, this was many times easier than at the beginning! And what’s more, his body had now begun actively devouring that Extreme Evil Energy!
The most crucial point was, he hadn’t reached his limit yet!
He took a step forward, channeling all of his power, and advanced towards the Demon Iron!
One step, two steps, three steps…
Ye Chen’s pace quickened, and after ten breaths, he crossed the ten-meter distance under the shocked and horrified gazes of the audience!
How was this possible?
A weakling who had nearly hit his limit at eighty or ninety meters, how could he have possibly made it past ten meters and smoothly advanced to the next round?
Furthermore, what was even more astonishing was that after breaking through the ten-meter mark, Ye Chen didn’t retreat but continued to advance!
Forward, forward, and still forward!
Nine meters, passed…
Eight meters, passed…
Seven meters, passed!!!
Ye Chen had done more than just advance; he had surpassed most of the geniuses. Even if he stopped now, he would have already secured third place in the Physical Test!
The crowd could only feel their faces burning with pain as if they had been slapped swollen!
Just now, their every disdain and mockery of Ye Chen were now viciously slapped back onto their faces!
A mere jumping clown?
If anyone were to be called jumping clowns, it would truly be them!
Yin Ming and Elder Gu were also thrilled at this moment!
The turnaround in Ye Chen’s performance, compared to the start, was immense! The reversal was simply too intense!
Those who felt it most deeply were the pair who had been concerned and anxious for Ye Chen!
Amidst the crowd, a veiled young woman allowed herself a slight smile.
Quite enchanting.
“This guy… remains unchanged.”
“It seems he intends to absorb this spiritual pressure.”
“This move is truly unprecedented.”
Six meters, five meters, four meters…
“No way!”
Yuan Lu exclaimed in shock, staring at Ye Chen in disbelief. At this moment, Ye Chen had reached the three-meter mark—this was his own record!
A Sealed Gate powerhouse, actually reached the same position as him?
However, after reaching three meters, Ye Chen finally stopped, and both Yuan Lu and the audience breathed a sigh of relief…
Thank goodness he stopped at three meters. Otherwise, Ye Chen would indeed have shattered their cognitive limits!
Even Wu Ming slightly frowned, and at the same time, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.
Hehe, a person with exceptional talent?
Ye Chen does have talent, but no matter how strong, can he really rival his Divine Body?
Ye Chen doesn’t even qualify to be compared with him!
But, the stronger Ye Chen’s potential is, the more he deserves to die! Wu Ming is destined to create brilliance in the Divine Kingdom, and Ye Chen is just a blemish in his glory. Even the smallest possibility of Ye Chen ruining his myth is unacceptable—Ye Chen must not be allowed to live in this world!
Wen Tianli also exhaled lightly. Has it come to an end?
Fortunately, now, though a bit of the Extreme Evil Energy from the Demon Iron had been lost, the impact wasn’t particularly significant.
But then, Wen Tianli’s complexion suddenly changed dramatically!
Why?
Because he perceived clearly that the Extreme Evil Energy was weakening!
Was Ye Chen, standing three meters away from the Demon Iron, actually starting to absorb the Extreme Evil Energy?
The Extreme Evil Energy began to diminish rapidly. Not only Wen Tianli, but also all the contestants and spectators on site could feel it!
“Eh, this spiritual pressure, it really is getting weaker!” remarked an audience member.
Another suddenly displayed a look of realization: “Could it be, that kid managed to come this far because the spiritual pressure weakened?”
“Very likely, do you remember what he asked Elder Wen earlier? Perhaps he really has some way to suppress the spiritual pressure!”
“The reason he withstood it for so long at the start might have been to wait for the others to leave!”
The crowd was agape with understanding, and the look they gave Ye Chen was once again filled with disdain.
Wu Ming could suppress the spiritual pressure because of his Forbidden Spirit Body, which was inherent to his constitution. But does Ye Chen have a Divine Body?
Clearly not. Hence Ye Chen must have employed some kind of cheating method to weaken the spiritual pressure!
Soon, Ye Chen’s steps moved again. The reason he stopped at the three-meter mark was simply to acclimate himself first. To truly absorb the energy, naturally, the closer the better, the faster the speed!
Ye Chen not only closed the distance to the Demon Iron but also, under the astonished gazes of those present, grabbed the Demon Iron with his hand!
That was the Demon Iron!
Merely the emitted spiritual pressure could directly kill martial arts prodigies, let alone actually grasping it!
But Ye Chen just did that!
Moreover, whoosh whoosh whoosh—the terrifying spiritual pressure seemed to roar up in an instant as if it had met its natural enemy!
Within a few breaths, with a crashing sound, the Demon Iron, a Supreme Treasure of the Divine Alliance that had witnessed the rise of countless talents over tens of thousands of years, just turned into powder in full view of the public, drifting away…
And the Extreme Evil Energy naturally dissipated along with it…
Dumbstruck, utterly dumbstruck…
What in the world is going on?
Even if Ye Chen could suppress the Extreme Evil Energy with some method, it should not directly reduce the Demon Iron to powder, should it?
Now, even a fool could see that Ye Chen was far more than they had imagined!
In the Battle Arena, there was a moment of total silence!
Even Wu Ming’s casual approach to the Demon Iron was completely overshadowed by Ye Chen!
Now, the only image remaining in everyone’s minds was that of the Demon Iron turning to powder in Ye Chen’s hands…
The shock was immeasurable, they were nearly passing out!
