Chapter 2552: Chapter 2526: Terrifying (Four Updates)
Such a monstrous talent, how could he be dressed in servant-disciple attire?
These people, actually having him start as a servant-disciple!?
Damn these little guys, are they squandering heavenly resources!!!
The old man’s eyes even flashed with a hint of anger; although his strength isn’t quite on par with the sect master and elders, when it comes to seniority, there are very few in the Divine Extreme Sect who stand above him!
He decided that once Ye Chen emerges from the Divine Devil Pond, he would speak with the sect master and elders. If they do not accept Ye Chen as a personal disciple, he would personally take Ye Chen as his own!
At the bottom of the vortex, Ye Chen, of course, didn’t know what the old man was thinking. He half-closed his eyes, gathering all his concentration to refine that overwhelming Divine Demon Energy!
His body’s divine blood, demon blood, Divine Deity Beast blood, and reincarnation bloodline were all completely activated, frantically devouring the energy within the fiendgod, strengthening himself.
If Ye Chen was just a bit slower, and the speed at which the Divine Demon Energy surged into his body caught up, even he could burst and die!
Gradually, Ye Chen’s body seemed to adapt to the Divine Demon Energy, and the speed of his physical restoration began to surpass the rate of destruction!
Ye Chen was delighted as he knew his constitution had strengthened! Though not by much, he hadn’t been in the Divine Devil Pond for long!
Just thinking about how much his strength would increase after completely refining the entire Outer Pond, he almost burst out laughing!
However, just as Ye Chen was feeling a bit relieved, what made him laugh and cry at the same time was that the rotating speed of the Divine Demon Energy vortex suddenly increased!
With a loud ‘BOOM’, an explosion sounded within Ye Chen’s body, unbearable pain emanated from every single cell in his body!
It was as if billions of extremely sharp, tiny daggers were stabbing into his body at the same time! The pain made Ye Chen grimace!
His body, which had just recovered slightly, began to shatter again!
It was as if the Divine Demon Energy was forcing Ye Chen to advance and strengthen, leaving him no room for slightest slack!
Truly domineering indeed!
While Ye Chen was in pain and pleasure, storms were brewing in Divine Extreme Sect’s Outer Court and the Servant Institute!
News that Qiu Wen, the top Heavenly Destruction Sword of the Outer Court, would challenge the newly joined servant disciple Ye Chen in seven days, spread far and wide!
Qiu Wen, although nominally still an Outer Court disciple, in fact, had long possessed the strength to enter the Inner Courtyard, thus till now, no one from the Outer Court dared to challenge him!
And to avoid drawing the attention of the higher-ups of the Divine Extreme Sect, Qiu Wen had not actively challenged others. If he demonstrated too strong of a capability, the upper echelons might promote him directly to the Inner Courtyard.
But now, this being who was akin to a fiendgod in the hearts of the Outer Court disciples, was challenging a servant disciple?
This news was explosive!
Suddenly, there was almost no one in the Outer Court or Servant Institute who did not know the name Ye Chen!
Moreover, Ye Chen, upon entering, had killed the top servant-disciple Wang Baoquan, shattered the Dao heart of Outer Court disciple Li Kuaisu, severely injured the Outer Court genius Lang Shaotian with a single move, and also reduced Yuan Dao, with a single strike of the Heavenly Sword, into Nihility, and refused the invitation from Master Zhang!
This news also completely spread!
For a moment, Ye Chen, in everyone’s hearts, became unimaginably legendary, almost like a demonic nature descended, and those who were initially skeptical about Qiu Wen’s challenge to the servant disciple began to look forward to the battle!
But just then, another disappearance spread…
Ye Chen seemed to have vanished!
Challenged by Qiu Wen, and then disappeared?
Haha…
Those disciples who had been somewhat looking forward to this battle were utterly disappointed in Ye Chen.
A group of outer disciples, while dining in a restaurant, one man frowned and said, “Wasn’t it said that this kid named Ye Chen was so arrogant that he even disregarded Master Zhang’s invitation to take him as a disciple? Why is he now playing disappearing act upon facing Qiu Wen?”
Another person sneered, “Ha, recognizing the situation is what makes a wise man. Even if he doesn’t accept Qiu Wen’s challenge, it’s understandable, after all, that’s the top of the outer sanctums, who would want to court death?”
“I think that all the rumors about him are utter nonsense, errors compounded by more errors, this person is just a good-for-nothing, right?”
“I think so too, at the Sealed Gate level, joining the Divine Extreme Sect? Probably some trash who got in through connections, just boasting about himself.”
Inside Immortal Heart Forest, Zhao Shangzhi said to Qiu Wen with a hint of disdain, “Young Master Qiu, it seems that worthless person hid as soon as he heard you wanted to challenge him! According to my investigation, he should have entered the Divine Devil Pond now!”
“Divine Devil Pond, huh?” Qiu Wen’s face showed thicker contempt, and he sneered, “He dares to enter the Divine Devil Pond to enhance his strength? Probably can’t even get into the water, right?”
“Young Master Qiu, what should we do now?”
“What to do?” Qiu Wen said indifferently as he sipped his wine, “Hide? Ha, as long as he is still in the Divine Extreme Sect, he can’t hide. No rush, let’s wait for my bloodline to awaken, then I’ll just wait outside the Divine Devil Pond for him to come out!
Given the concentration of the Divine Demon Energy in the Divine Devil Pond, even if he doesn’t enter the water, he won’t be able to stay too long. And besides, is he going to shrink inside forever?”
“But if Ye Chen refuses your challenge, what then? After all, you and that worthless aren’t in the same branch.”
Qiu Wen put down his wine glass, a cruel glimmer flashing in his eyes, and said, “If that’s the case, then let it be. This young master can spare his lowly life, but, he must kneel before me publicly; otherwise, wouldn’t some still say that this young master can’t handle a lowly servant?”
…
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the Divine Devil Pond, Ye Chen was enveloped in a cluster of white light, an indication of the extreme richness of the Divine Demon Energy!
Enveloped by the white light, Ye Chen’s expression was calm, utterly serene, and his whole body exuded a crystal-clear feeling!
Time ticks away, second by second…
And the old man in the sky, who had been initially shocked and unable to comprehend, was now thoroughly horrified!
Ye Chen had stayed at the bottom of the pond for a whole day now!
He had lived in the Divine Extreme Sect for tens of thousands of years and had never seen such a thing before!
Suddenly, there was a booming sound in the Divine Devil Pond, the continuously swirling water suddenly reversed its flow, revealing the tranquil figure of Ye Chen sitting at the bottom…
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the mysterious old man almost popping out, the reversing water rushed towards Ye Chen!
