Chapter 2556: Chapter 2530: Breakthrough! Great Void! (Eight updates, asking for votes!)
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile. Now, it was time for his counterattack!
With a swift movement, he dove toward the bottom of the Inner Pool. The increasingly dense Divine Demon Essence swarmed towards him, and Ye Chen seemed to be advancing under the pressure of tens of thousands of tons. He gritted his teeth, showing no signs of backing down.
Two hours later, Ye Chen, covered in blood, finally reached the bottom of the pool, the gathering place of the Divine Demon Essence for tens of thousands of years!
The overwhelmingly powerful energy almost made Ye Chen’s blood boil and dry up!
Upon reaching the bottom, Ye Chen’s gaze swept across the area, and quickly, he locked onto his target.
A bizarre humanoid figure, about the size of a palm, carved from some unknown type of wood and engraved with countless Blood Runes.
The figure was covered with dense cracks as if it would shatter completely at any moment. However, the unknown wood emitted a faint blood-colored luminescence, continually devouring the surrounding Divine Demon Essence to prevent itself from completely breaking apart.
This must be the sacrificial object Elder Gu needed.
Ye Chen’s eyes twinkled, and with a wave of his hand, he drew the figure into his grasp and placed it into a Jade Box, sealing it inside.
The task Elder Gu had assigned him was now accomplished. As long as he handed over the sacrificial object to Elder Gu, there was a chance he could restore his past strength.
After all this, Ye Chen sat cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, swallowed several pills, closed his eyes slightly, and began recovering from his injuries, adjusting his own condition.
Some time later, Ye Chen reopened his eyes, which flashed with a piercing light, and his aura reached a peak state!
With a cold laugh directed at the Divine Demon Essence constantly swirling around him, he declared, “Since you all so enjoy burrowing into my body, then let me devour the entire Inner Pool completely!”
A burst of seven-colored light suddenly erupted from inside Ye Chen, and an immense attractive force originated from him. The originally calm Inner Pool began to violently rotate around Ye Chen, with myriads of Divine Demon Essence pouring into his body at the same time!
The Divine Demon Essence had the properties of coagulation and agglomeration. After spending seven days in the Inner Pool, Ye Chen had condensed a strand of extremely pure Divine Demon Essence in his body. Now, using this strand as a catalyst, he madly attracted and devoured the Essence around him!
If others knew about this, they would be shocked to the point that their jaws would drop to the ground!
It was an utterly suicidal behavior!
Originally, the Divine Demon Essence that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years was incredibly powerful, capable of bursting a person from the inside. Even thousands of years ago, the sect heir successors would do everything they could to slow down the entrance of the Divine Demon Essence into their bodies, giving them time to refine and absorb it!
But Ye Chen was doing the exact opposite!
This was too aberrant…
Time slipped away second by second, and the water column rotating around Ye Chen gradually began to thin!
…
Outside the Inner Pool, Tu Lanxin suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
The sage-like old man looked at her and asked, “Lan Xin, what’s wrong?”
Tu Lanxin’s beautiful eyes turned towards the white jade gate, a trace of surprise flashing within, as she said, “The aura of the Divine Demon Essence in the Inner Pool is weakening…”
The crowd exchanged glances, all witnessing the disbelief in each other’s eyes!
The weakening of the Divine Demon Essence in the Inner Pool, what did it mean?
It meant that the Essence, which had accumulated for tens of thousands of years, was starting to be devoured in large amounts by Ye Chen!
It was already a miracle that Ye Chen was alive. And now…
The sage-like old man couldn’t help but mutter, “This… He’s going to completely drain the Inner Pool…”
Ye Chen, forever surpassing their expectations!
Such a vast energy, even if all the elders present absorbed it together, would require hundreds or thousands of years to refine completely, right?
But what about Ye Chen?
At this rate of devouring, I’m afraid that it won’t even take two hours before the inner pool is completely absorbed by Ye Chen!
In an instant, these cultivators, who were once very confident in their martial arts talents, couldn’t help but show a wry smile…
Compared to Ye Chen, they truly amounted to nothing…
Perhaps even those beyond Chaos did not anticipate this turn of events, did they?
The second elder frowned slightly and turned to Yu Zhenzi, saying, “Sect Master, what should we do now? If Ye Chen continues to devour like this, it might take thousands of years for the inner pool to recover.
If that happens, the guardian formation of the Divine Extreme Sect would weaken over the next few thousand years, and if Ye Chen were to die during the devouring, all this Divine Demon Essence would simply go to waste!
Ye Chen is indeed outstanding, but is he worth the sect taking such a gamble for him?”
Yu Zhenzi simply said indifferently: “Wait.”
He has high hopes for Ye Chen!
Two hours later, the inner pool was now completely empty, not even a drop of water remained!
Ye Chen, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, suddenly let out a long howl, with an aura bursting forth from his body that shot straight into the Nine Heavens!
His level of cultivation had actually broken through directly to the first-level of the Great Void Realm!
This speed of cultivation was simply terrifying to the point where it left others breathless; while others broke through martial arts’ small divisions of realms one by one, Ye Chen had directly broken through a major realm in one closed-door session!
Yet, Ye Chen merely smiled slightly, not paying too much attention to his level of cultivation.
After all, it was just an incidental benefit; his true strength had never been measured by his level of cultivation.
The fact that he broke through a major realm only after draining tens of thousands of years’ worth of accumulation from the entire Spiritual Power Demon Pool was extremely rare.
This was because most of the energy had fused into Ye Chen’s bones, flesh, and meridians!
The essence of Divine Demon is extremely overbearing, yet its effects are also incredibly potent!
Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that with the power of the Divine Demon Essence far surpassing that of weapons, he no longer needed any for his breakthroughs!
Now, even without using the Fog Transformation Divine Ability, Ye Chen was almost an undying existence!
If he were to employ the Fog Transformation Divine Ability, perhaps a strong person at the early stage of the Disaster Slaying realm would bombard him day and night to no avail, unable to harm his very origins, right?
Even more terrifying was the power of Ye Chen!
At present, even without using any divine powers, just his physical strength alone had reached an extreme degree. If he were to use various enhancements, as well as the Heaven Splitting Power, his strength could potentially break through all limits!
Such strength was enough to crush all existences below the Disaster Slaying realm!
The gains from this time were simply too great!
Ye Chen exhaled lightly and slowly stood up. It was time for him to leave.
“However, since the Tribulation lightning did not appear this time, it will likely descend soon. I should go out and face the tribulation, wondering how the Heavenly Dao intends to eliminate me this time!”
The red light of the Soul Stone blossomed once again, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen left the inner pool.
The high-ranking members hidden in midair were all thrilled to see Ye Chen alive and walking out of the inner pool.
Even the always composed Yu Zhenzi was slightly flushed, slightly losing his composure.
The sage-like old man watched Ye Chen, who had broken through to the Great Void Realm in just seven days, and asked Yu Zhenzi with a trembling voice, “Sect Master, just how frightening is Ye Chen’s potential? Do you feel that the Divine Kingdom is about to change?”
The second elder also swallowed his saliva and said, “Lan Xin, you really brought back a monster this time…”
