Chapter 2655: Chapter 2629: Adding to the Trouble (Sixth Release)
Crack!
Ye Chen’s divine soul emitted a brittle sound, like porcelain shattering, as the power of the Heavenly Dao inflicted severe damage upon it.
In the real world, Ye Chen’s physical body staggered, his face instantly turning pale; his whole being weakened, as if he had just endured a severe illness.
“I managed to endure it…” Ye Chen forced a bitter smile at Xiao Ling.
Then, Ye Chen retrieved a pill and swallowed it—a pill designed to heal injuries to the soul.
The damage caused by the Heavenly Dao to Ye Chen’s divine soul was overwhelming, and this Holy Pill could only temporarily suppress his injuries, unable to provide instant healing.
To help Ye Chen survive the Great Void Heavenly Tribulation safely, the Ancient Medical God had prepared various pills for him long beforehand, practically exhausting his entire holdings.
“Good, good!”
Xiao Ling praised without restraint, but his smile suddenly faded as he looked into the distance.
It was toward the depths of the Poison Cave, where he sensed several powerful presences rapidly approaching.
The incoming presence… carried ill intent!
“For this final tribulation, I won’t be able to witness your crossing firsthand. What’s more regrettable is that I won’t be able to showcase the most proud strike of my lifetime, as Six Paths once did before you!”
With that, Xiao Ling soared into the air, flying toward the oncoming enemies, leaving behind only his resolute and towering silhouette.
His departure was to block the incoming foes, shielding Ye Chen from the Human Tribulation!
During his flight, the starlight behind him fell upon Little Yellow’s giant egg.
“Senior!!!” Ye Chen’s eyes brimmed with blood-red tears as he watched Xiao Ling leave.
The ninth tribulation arrived faster than anticipated, and a blurred visage manifested.
It was… the shadow of the Heavenly Dao!
At the same time, the long-dormant giant egg of Little Yellow cracked open.
A giant beast, ablaze with red and blue flames, emerged.
It hatched.
This marked Little Yellow’s rebirth.
Little Yellow was enveloped by a special airflow.
This airflow was extraordinary.
It resembled the substance born from primordial chaos.
Additionally, faint traces of even stronger thunderclouds were brewing above the sky.
Ye Chen was momentarily stunned as he took in this scene.
Your current tribulation is already terrifying beyond measure!
If you add Little Yellow’s manifestation to the equation, both you and Little Yellow are doomed!
“Kid, quickly take this little one back to the Samsara Graveyard! It cannot manifest in the world now! Absolutely not!”
The Ancient Medical God’s voice rang out.
Ye Chen’s eyes darkened and, without any hesitation, he activated the Samsara Graveyard, which absorbed the dormant entity into its depths.
The other ominous thunderclouds began to dissipate gradually.
Meanwhile, deep within the Poison Cave.
Four elders of the Heavenly Dao Palace radiating immense energy fluctuations rushed out from the depths of the cave.
These four had previously followed the leadership of the Extreme Yin Cold Ancestor, venturing into the cave’s depths. Moments ago, they received orders to execute the Samsara Master.
While the Reincarnation Tablet was indeed crucial, the death of the Samsara Master was even more significant.
However, the four late-stage Disaster Slaying realm powerhouses appeared strangely disheveled, as if they had encountered trouble in the cave’s depths. One among them bore a fist-sized wound piercing his chest, evidently gravely injured.
“Curse it, I didn’t expect an ancient battlefield to be hidden here. We couldn’t find the Reincarnation Tablet and instead suffered misfortune!” The gravely injured elder cursed furiously mid-flight.
“Say no more. Those ancient war souls may be dead yet unyielding—they’re tricky to deal with but ultimately only minor troubles. There’s no need for reckless confrontation; at least our lives are intact. Elder Tian Mu, however, we still don’t know what enemy he faced—he’s been utterly destroyed.”
Another elder sighed deeply as he spoke.
“Could it have been done by Li Fan Yi?” someone speculated.
Many powerhouses from Du Ye Hall had entered Cold Poison City and were strong opponents of the Heavenly Dao Palace here.
“Li Fan Yi is being watched personally. Without obtaining the Poison Tablet, he won’t stir up much trouble. I think something happened with that boy.”
The others agreed wholeheartedly. Despite their disdain for the boy’s strength, his identity as the “Heir of the Reincarnation Sovereign” raised their level of caution toward Ye Chen significantly.
To be safe, the four hadn’t immediately chosen to assist when Elder Tian Mu’s death was reported. Only after receiving communication from Vermilion Bird Elder did they gather and set off together.
“The aura of the Heavenly Tribulation… it’s just ahead!”
Their spirits lifted, and their speed increased.
A faintly blurry figure suddenly appeared, blocking their path.
“A divine soul?”
“This aura! Seems familiar! It’s Xiao Ling!”
Xiao Ling said nothing, but his aura of facing death head-on erupted. Burning his divine soul, his power surged forth like tidal waves toward them!
In an instant, countless ferocious beasts manifested!
He resembled the ruler of endless ferocious beasts!
A Supreme of an era, even with his divine soul vanishing, he fought a battle to the death!
…
High above the cloud layers, Xuanyuan Han, the Extreme Yin Cold Ancestor, gazed down at the ground.
At the moment Xiao Ling launched his attack, he began chanting, summoning the power of the Curse of Obliteration in an attempt to rescue his subordinates.
Oddly, the cultivation level Xuanyuan Han deployed was close to Chaos-level; he hadn’t been suppressed.
As the all-encompassing Curse of Obliteration descended, the space trembled suddenly, and a scroll appeared. Inside the scroll, the mountains and rivers seemed alive, and a vortex emerged, absorbing and nullifying the Curse of Obliteration power entirely.
Within the scroll, a long river churned, the Curse of Obliteration force assimilated seamlessly. A Chaos-level full-power strike was neutralized effortlessly.
“Netherworld Map… Li Fan Yi!” Xuanyuan Han’s expression turned grim, his voice cold as he scoffed.
On the ground, the quartet of Heavenly Dao Palace elders had been overwhelmed and slain by Xiao Ling’s sea of beasts.
The Netherworld Map ascended into the sky before landing in the hands of a newly appeared figure. This person was unremarkably dressed, plain-looking, yet bore a sinister and charming smile—it was Li Fan Yi, the vice sect master of Du Ye Hall!
“The shadow of the Heavenly Dao… I’ve long heard of the return of your Heavenly Dao Palace’s fated nemesis, yet I never thought they’d be a mere junior of the Great Void realm.” Li Fan Yi locked his divine sense on Xuanyuan Han and spoke.
Ye Chen’s tribulation at the Poison Cave’s entrance and the earth-shaking commotion caused by the Great Void Destructive Thunder Tribulation had long drawn the attention of this area’s powerhouses and prominent figures.
Li Fan Yi’s arrival was unsurprising. In fact, quite a number of great powers were already observing Ye Chen now.
But for Li Fan Yi to assist Ye Chen stirred Xuanyuan Han’s confusion and anger!
“Remnants of the Sin Clan—merely an heir to some legacy. Fated enemy? He’s far from worthy!”
Xuanyuan Han’s voice was ice-cold, brimming with killing intent. “But you—saving him—I assume this means Du Ye Hall is officially declaring war on my Heavenly Dao Palace?”
“I’ll admit, you’re an unparalleled talent. Crossing vast realm divisions to kill your enemies is indeed impressive.”
“But the Heavenly Dao Palace governs the Divine Kingdom!”
…
“Heh… Xuanyuan Han, others may fear your Heavenly Dao Palace, but my Du Ye Hall is no longer afraid. After all, dead men never keep secrets, do they? Save your rhetoric. If you seek war, I’ll gladly oblige!”
Li Fan Yi’s battle intent flared, provocatively inviting conflict.
Though outwardly composed, his character was inherently extreme, and now, wielding Du Ye Hall’s Sect Treasure, the Absolute Weapon-level Netherworld Map, he was more overbearing than ever.
Accepting Xuanyuan Han’s strike wasn’t an intentional aid to Ye Chen.
As a cultivator capable of attracting the Heavenly Dao’s shadow, as the Heir of the Reincarnation Sovereign, and as the fated nemesis of the Heavenly Dao Palace…
Li Fan Yi was simply indulging a whim, deliberately causing trouble for the Heavenly Dao Palace.
