Chapter 2652: Chapter 2626: Choice (Three More)
Ye Chen was shocked to discover the cracks on the giant egg Little Gold were growing more pronounced.
It even gave Ye Chen the impression it might shatter at any moment.
The giant egg Little Gold revealed its form, circled around Ye Chen a few times, then flew to the spatial barrier of the Poison Cave, hovering aggressively.
With the spiritual beast and its master connected in soul, Ye Chen’s preparations were aimed to fend off external enemies rather than the Heavenly Tribulation. Little Gold’s eagerness to protect its master turned into a formidable combat strength.
BOOM!
Ye Chen looked up, and even with his firm character, couldn’t help but gasp sharply!
The shadowy images of ancient ferocious beasts like Taotie roamed endlessly through the tribulation clouds, merging into the steadily forming seventh-layer Heavenly Tribulation.
This Heavenly Tribulation—it was excessively strong!
Several colorful flames floated out of Ye Chen’s body: Green Lotus Demon Fire, Mystic Flames, and Falling Sky Poison Flame!
During his secluded cultivation at the Divine Extreme Sect, he had refined the Falling Sky Poison Flame!
Unfortunately, the Emperor’s Fire and Ancient Immemorial Evil Flame were still unrefinable.
Nevertheless, he could distinctly sense the number of flames sealed within his dantian had decreased.
Though a bit incredulous, Ye Chen vaguely suspected the missing flames might have some connection to the Blood Dragon of the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace.
Ye Chen’s expression turned grim as he clasped his palms together, merging the three flames under the intricate control of his micro-level power.
The fused flames emitted a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation, its ever-changing colors and unstable form radiating extreme danger!
This power was potent enough to deal a fatal blow to a late-stage Disaster Slaying Realm powerhouse.
Ye Chen’s heart bled—these treasures he had painstakingly acquired had to be partially sacrificed to resist the seventh-layer Heavenly Tribulation.
The void trembled as the power of the Heavenly Dao descended; the seventh-layer Heavenly Tribulation came crashing down!
Ye Chen flung the fused flames toward the tribulation, then a massive palm reached for it…
Cang Yan Extinguishing Spirit Palm!
Ye Chen unleashed all his techniques and fought the tribulation with full force. Just as this moment, a spatial fluctuation occurred at the Poison Cave entrance, revealing four formidable figures stepping forth.
Vermillion Bird Elder, Elder Fu Mo, and two other late-stage Disaster Slaying Realm great power users from the Heavenly Dao Palace all appeared, focusing their gazes squarely on Ye Chen.
The giant egg Little Gold erupted in a frenzy of bloodlust, fearlessly charging at these four powerhouses!
“A mere speck of light dares shine brightly!”
“Let alone a mere beast egg!”
Two Heavenly Dao Palace elders joined the assault, unleashing endless waves of energy!
They initially thought they could easily destroy the giant egg!
But to their surprise, their powers were inexplicably devoured by the giant egg!
BANG!
A terrifying wave of energy erupted forcefully!
The two Heavenly Dao Palace elders staggered backward two steps.
Their faces changed dramatically!
“What kind of monstrous creature is this? It possesses such power!”
One of the Heavenly Dao Palace elders exclaimed in shock.
Another elder’s eyes darkened: “This giant egg’s skin is tough and thick; it’s stalling for time.”
“Our mission is to eliminate that fledgling brat!”
“I will suppress this egg with this object, then we strike together!”
Saying that, a jade pendant floated out.
The jade pendant contained an extremely powerful force of the Heavenly Dao.
In an instant, it restrained the giant egg Little Gold.
Little Gold tried to struggle, desperately colliding against the confines of its restraints.
The other two wasted no time and launched an attack on Ye Chen.
The Three Great Divine Arrays were activated, prompting the two elders to scoff disdainfully as they began dismantling the formations.
…
Before the seventh-layer Heavenly Tribulation descended, at the Samsara Graveyard—
The awakened projections of several powerhouses were gathered, discussing a certain matter.
“This time… the crisis this kid faces is likely unprecedented. Heavenly Dao Palace has resolved to wipe out Ye Chen,” the Ancient Medical God said.
“He’s already severely injured. The final three layers of the Great Void Destructive Thunder Tribulation seem impossible to overcome! Perhaps I should intervene,” the Sword God of Six Paths, Feng Qingyang, sighed.
Kuang Wu Dominator, known for his enmity with the Ancient Medical God in ancient times, made a rare appearance, his expression cold and silent.
Kuang Wu Dominator, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, carried an aura of Vast Righteous Qi, his presence unfathomable.
In the end, everyone’s gaze gathered simultaneously on Feng Qingyang, the Sword God of Six Paths.
“Why do you all stare at me like this?” Feng Qingyang asked with a casual smile. Though his tone questioned, he showed no surprise, as he already knew the answer.
“Aside from borrowing our power, the only secret technique we can use to assist him is that one. Six Paths, have you truly made up your mind?” the Ancient Medical God asked.
“It’s only the dispersal of a divine soul projection. This divine soul, having survived since ancient times, has served its purpose!”
Feng Qingyang redirected his gaze, his teasing smile aimed at a tombstone where Little Gold’s awakening had once been triggered. “You’ve hidden yourself for so long, yet now emerge prematurely, gifting bloodline strength to Little Gold—from the Kunlun Mountains to this very moment. I suppose your intentions are similar, aren’t they?”
“Your strength should also suffice.”
Suddenly, Kuang Wu Dominator stepped forward: “Such actions are what I detest most! The Heavenly Dao descends its wrath in this way—such blatant bullying!”
Kuang Wu Dominator’s words shifted toward the Ancient Medical God: “Ancient Medical God, let’s set aside our grievances for now. Your medical prowess and accumulated favors are of greater use than your life. Preserve your strength; you need not act as we do.”
“That brat still needs you.”
The Ancient Medical God paused momentarily but said nothing.
Feng Qingyang smiled faintly, clasping his hands. “I don’t have much strength left anyway, so I’ll go first. Once I dissipate, this brat’s future troubles will be up to you all.”
Kuang Wu Dominator nodded: “He is also my disciple—though unofficially—his character resonates with me. Besides, that brat is the Samsara Master, and protecting his path is rightfully our responsibility.”
At this moment, the seemingly illusory yet tangible Samsara Graveyard suddenly shook violently.
It was…
A sign that Ye Chen, the Samsara Graveyard’s master, was in imminent danger!
Feng Qingyang wasted no time, divine light emanating from various tombstones, merging into his body.
In the outside world—
Feng Qingyang’s previously shadowy image solidified, his aura growing unimaginably strong!
This was harnessing the mystical power of the Samsara Graveyard, temporarily igniting divine projections at the expense of their existence to unleash a fleeting explosion of strength!
This… was their ultimate secret technique: Sacrificial Divine Powers!
With a heaven-shaking roar, the giant egg Little Gold broke free from its restraints, entwining one Heavenly Dao Palace elder completely. Scorching flames erupted violently from the cracks in the egg, unleashing relentless attacks!
Faced with such ferocity, the elder merely triggered his protective spiritual energy, slamming out a scarlet palm strike that repelled Little Gold instantly! Yet, Little Gold charged forth again!
This time, Little Gold aimed its attack at the strongest among the four—the Vermillion Bird Elder!
The Vermillion Bird Elder had apparently resorted to some secret method, reducing the suppression on his cultivation level in this place. The power behind his palm strike now carried the strength of the ninth level of Disaster Slaying Realm!
Not just him—the other three Heavenly Dao Palace elders unleashed late-stage Disaster Slaying Realm combat strength as well.
SPLASH!
A beam of sword light cleaved directly toward the egg Little Gold, leaving a deep sword mark.
Still intact—for now.
