Chapter 2555: Chapter 2529: Hide? (Seven more releases)
…
Seven days later, a group of elders from the Divine Extreme Sect, along with Sect Master Yu Zhenzi, Tu Lanxin, and Elder Zuo, all had serious expressions on their faces as they looked at the huge white jade door. Yet, excitement flickered in their eyes!
Ye Chen had been inside the Inner Pool for a full seven days! He was about to make history!
In the history of the Divine Extreme Sect, the longest any successor to the Sect Master had stayed inside the Inner Pool was merely three days!
Moreover, the Inner Pool Ye Chen stayed in was the one that had accumulated tens of thousands of years of Divine Demon Essence!
There was simply no comparison with the Inner Pools of the past!
It was nothing short of defying the heavens to the extreme!
If it weren’t for the fact that they could still faintly sense Ye Chen’s life aura, they would have thought that Ye Chen had long since died inside!
At the same time, a shocking and earth-shattering news spread from within the Divine Extreme Sect!
The number one Heavenly Destruction Sword of the Outer Court, Qiu Wen, had closed off for seven days and upon emerging, had awakened the Tian Wen Body!
And his martial cultivation level had broken through to the extreme, all at once!
The ultimate record in the history of the Outer Court!
It scared many Outer Court and servant-disciples, and even numerous Inner Court Disciples stiff!
You know, above the Great Void Calamity, each division of realms is incredibly difficult to break through. It wouldn’t be surprising for one to spend thousands of years breaking through a minor division of realms!
Yet, Qiu Wen managed to break through in just a mere seven days?
He even triggered the Disaster Slaying Thunder!
Isn’t that too monstrous?
With such a level of cultivation, even if placed in the Inner Court, he wouldn’t be considered weak!
Not to mention, he now possesses the Tian Wen Body!
While everyone was shocked by the terrifying prowess of Qiu Wen, another news spread.
After emerging, Qiu Wen went directly to the Divine Devil Pond!
It is said, he is waiting there for that servant-disciple Ye Chen to emerge!
This… is simply leaving no way out for others!!!
It’s like he wants to completely crush Ye Chen!
Outside the woods by the Divine Devil Pond, suddenly there came a burst of noisy clamor.
It was already a sea of people! Countless disciples surrounded the spot in layers, both inside and out!
Looking at their attire, the majority were Outer Court and servant-disciples, but there were also some inner sect disciples mixed in!
Standing before the crowd was a spirited and handsome young man, none other than Qiu Wen who had awakened the Tian Wen Body!
The crowd, feeling the powerful aura emanating from Qiu Wen, were all filled with immense dread, and many felt sorrow for Ye Chen.
“Alas, this Ye Chen is really unlucky to have caught the wrong end of the stick.”
“It’s also his fault; he was too arrogant. If he had been a little more restrained, Qiu Wen might not have targeted him.”
“It seems, Qiu Wen is determined to use Ye Chen as a stepping stone, stepping on him to catch the eyes of the upper echelons!”
“After hiding in the Divine Devil Pond for so many days, Qiu Wen still does not want to let him go…”
“Qiu Wen is too ruthless; we must never provoke him in the future!”
The crowd discussed animatedly; not a single person was optimistic about Ye Chen’s chances!
It is said that Ye Chen was also injured when he defeated Yuan Dao, suggesting that Ye Chen’s strength is lacking. Such strength, not to mention the current Qiu Wen, even the Qiu Wen before closing off from the outer world is vastly superior.
Now, to Ye Chen, Qiu Wen is like the heavens.
How can mere human effort surpass the heavens?
Even if Ye Chen really could enter the water of the Divine Devil Pond, how much improvement can he truly gain?
A mere seven days, no matter how much he improves, cannot bridge the gap between them.
Qiu Wen, wearing a cold smile, deliberately spread the word far and wide, releasing the news to let more people see.
To see Ye Chen being trampled under his feet!
In his opinion, the best outcome for Ye Chen would be to not dare to accept his challenge, to publicly admit defeat, to surrender, and to kneel and apologize—the more spectators the better.
In the crowd, there stood a man and a woman in a corner by themselves, both of outstanding temperament. Even more crucially, the woman was extremely beautiful and incredibly eye-catching. Normally, such a beauty would attract many men around her.
However, the space around the two of them was vaguely kept clear, with no one daring to come too close. Some disciples looking at the woman didn’t even dare to show any trace of greed in their eyes, but instead, there was intense respect.
These two were none other than the second-ranked of the outer sanctums, Wang Bin, and the third-ranked, Wen Min’er!
At this time, Wang Bin, with a playful look on his face, said to Wen Min’er: “Min’er, why are you interested in this servant-disciple? Why come specifically to watch the fight? I’ve told you before, he definitely won’t dare to confront Qiu Wen.”
Wen Min’er didn’t say much in response, but disappointment flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Originally, having heard rumors about Ye Chen, she was drawn to this mysterious, powerful, heaven-gifted servant-disciple, but it was just a slight interest at first.
In her imagination, Ye Chen was an extremely proud man who entered the Divine Devil Pond just for cultivation training, and even if his strength was not as good as Qiu Wen’s, he would not avoid a fight!
From the moment she knew Ye Chen entered the Divine Devil Pond, she came to its vicinity…
Yet, a full seven days had passed, and she hadn’t seen anyone leave the Divine Devil Pond.
She realized she was wrong, she had misjudged; Ye Chen was not the proud man she had imagined.
No one can stay in the water of the Divine Devil Pond for seven days.
Ye Chen was hiding!
But deep down, she still held a bit of hope, hoping that she had misunderstood, hoping Ye Chen would confront Qiu Wen…
But now, she was completely disappointed in Ye Chen.
Nevertheless, she still hadn’t left; after waiting so many days, what’s a little longer?
After all, Ye Chen probably couldn’t last much longer in the Divine Devil Pond.
At the same time, she also looked at Qiu Wen with considerable wariness, knowing that Qiu Wen’s strength had multiplied countless times over!
This time, she also came to see just how terrifying the current Qiu Wen really was.
…
Meanwhile, Ye Chen didn’t know anything about what was happening outside.
After seven days of excruciating torment, now, Ye Chen’s flesh had remarkably regenerated, but his muscles and veins appeared almost transparent!
Looking through his body, one could see his bones had turned as flawless as supreme-grade Ice Jade, faintly shimmering with a pale golden light.
Suddenly, Ye Chen opened his eyes, a burst of seven-colored radiance flashing through them, as if Divine Demon Essence had merged into his eyes.
He exhaled a breath of dense air, a hint of joy appearing on his face!
He had endured it!
During these seven days, he had lost count of how many times his consciousness blurred, teetering on the edge of death, but, in the end, he had persevered!
Now, he had finally fully adapted to the Divine Demon Essence!
