Chapter 3629: Chapter 3619: The Nightmare Arrives! (Fifth Update)
Ye Chen couldn’t help but show a wry smile. It seemed that no matter where he was, power was something one had to fight for themselves. Without strength, where would fairness come from?
Under the guidance of the Star Moon Palace disciples, Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui quickly arrived at the assessment site.
The assessment of the Star Moon Palace was simple: just step into the teleportation formation leading to the Moon Soul Domain!
Between the Star Moon Palace hall and the Moon Soul Domain teleportation formation was a corridor paved with jade-like gemstones. At this moment, the corridor was shining with vibrant green spiritual light!
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. The spiritual light in this corridor was formed by layers of intertwined seals! To move forward, one could only keep breaking through these seals!
It seemed simple, but it was not easy at all!
Moreover, according to the introduction from the Star Moon Palace disciple earlier, the more people entered the corridor, the stronger the power of the seals!
For Ye Chen, taking Jin Shuhui through the corridor became exponentially more difficult!
However...
This was only difficult for typical early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm powerhouses...
The reason for this assessment system, first, was a requirement from the major forces of the Moon Soul Domain. After all, without restrictions, the martial artists of the Star Swirl Domain would have already flooded the Moon Soul Domain...
The martial arts environment of the Moon Soul Domain was much better than that of the Star Swirl Domain, enough to accommodate all of the Star Swirl Domain’s martial artists. But who would want thousands of martial artists suddenly flooding in and contending for cultivation resources?
Secondly, it was the intention of the founders of the Star Moon Palace to protect the Star Swirl Martial Artists. The Moon Soul Domain was much harsher than the Star Swirl Domain, and people from the Star Swirl Domain would inevitably face rejection upon entering the Moon Soul Domain, so those martial artists needed stronger strength to survive!
If they couldn’t pass even this assessment, how could they expect to gain a foothold in the Moon Soul Domain?
But now, Ye Chen already possessed the power to contend with early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm existences; even if the strength of these jade corridor seals doubled with Jin Shuhui’s presence, it seemed like nothing to him!
Ye Chen wrapped an arm around Jin Shuhui’s slender waist, calmly saying, "Hold on tight and don’t let go."
Jin Shuhui’s face turned slightly red at his words, but instead of resisting, she nestled her face into Ye Chen’s chest...
The next moment, Ye Chen’s gaze turned sharp, and the Hongmeng Ancient Technique, the Heavenly Demon Body, and the Heaven Splitting Power were all unleashed!
The Slaughter Sword appeared in his hand, with the Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm surging out. The Heavenly Destruction Sword Technique spun, with Destruction Divine Dao’s aura spreading. At this moment, Ye Chen resembled a Death God stepping from the Netherworld!
The Star Moon Palace disciples felt the terrifying pressure, and couldn’t help but retreat in horror, looking at Ye Chen in shock!
Was this Ye Chen’s true strength?
Ye Chen had shocked them so many times that now they were somewhat numb!
Even if it was said that Ye Chen was the reincarnation of the Samsara Master, they would probably accept it!
The martial arts thinking of these Moon Soul Domain disciples was completely overturned!
The next moment, gray-black sword light slashed out!
The jade corridor seemed to be stimulated, green light flashing wildly, and countless runes constructed array formations, layering upon each other, emerging to suppress the gray-black sword light!
But!
They shattered!
Each formation was enough to withstand a full-strength strike from an early-stage Heavenly Repairing Realm existence, but against Ye Chen’s sword, they could only break apart!
The sound of cracking continued; the thousands of formations shattered in an instant, and the entire jade corridor dimmed!
And Ye Chen, at this time, had already taken Jin Shuhui through the corridor.
A group of Star Moon Palace disciples were like petrified statues, staring fixedly at the scene before them...
One strike...
With just one strike, the seals within the corridor were completely broken, which had surely set a new record in the history of Star Moon Palace assessments!
Not to mention, Ye Chen did it while carrying Jin Shuhui!
The strength of the corridor’s seals had doubled, yet the result was still the same?
At this moment, Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui had disappeared into the teleportation formation...
After a whirlwind of sensations, Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui opened their eyes again.
What appeared before them was a building somewhat similar to the Star Moon Palace of the Star Swirl Domain...
However, neither paid attention to their surroundings, for their attention was captivated by the concentration and quality of spiritual energy around them!
Even Jin Shuhui, like Ye Chen, showed a shocked expression!
The spiritual energy of the Moon Soul Domain had already surpassed the levels of Qi Transformation and Liquid Transformation, having directly advanced to higher quality spiritual energy!
Completely incomparable to the Star Swirl Domain and the Divine Kingdom!
Beside the formation, a Star Moon Palace disciple responsible for looking over things glanced at Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui as if seeing country folk entering the city...
But soon, an expression of disbelief appeared on the Star Moon Palace disciple’s face!
What was going on?
With the cultivation level of these two, how did they pass the assessment?
Ye Chen calmed down, walked to the disciple, and said, "Hello, are there any procedures we need to complete upon entering the Moon Soul Domain?"
For the first-time martial artists ascending from the Star Swirl Domain to the Moon Soul Domain, several identity authentication procedures were required. Along with this, they would receive a token issued by the Star Moon Palace, allowing free travel between the two domains.
Ye Chen was unsure of Xia Ruoxue’s whereabouts and, moreover, was still awaiting Ye Lingtian’s news, so naturally, he needed to prepare for such an eventuality.
Only then did the Star Moon Palace disciple regain his composure, looking at Ye Chen with uncertain eyes, nodding, "Um... Please show me your identity tokens..."
His demeanor became much more respectful...
After all, if one didn’t have enough strength and could still easily enter the Moon Soul Domain, there was only one possibility...
Background!
Only with a powerful background could one achieve such a feat!
To him, Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui might be illegitimate children of some Moon Soul Domain powerhouses. Anyway, even though he was a Star Moon Palace disciple, he was merely an outer disciple, unable to provoke people of extraordinary backgrounds!
The Star Moon Palace disciple obviously misunderstood, though, if he knew that Ye Chen had slain the Star Moon Palace Examination Steward and the Star Moon Law Enforcer before entering the Moon Soul Domain, one wonders what he would think?
Ye Chen and Jin Shuhui left the main hall of the Star Moon Palace, with Ye Chen playfully toying with a jade scroll in his hands. After misunderstanding his background, the Star Moon Palace disciple not only completed all procedures swiftly but also gave them a map of the Moon Soul Domain.
This map recorded not only the geographical situation of the Moon Soul Domain but also detailed documentation of local power distributions. They were currently in a place named Smokeless City.
Some distance from the Six Paths Sect.
But not too far from the Zhan Family!
"Qing Liao City..."
Ye Chen softly recited the name of a city, a cold gleam suddenly flashing in his eyes.
This Qing Liao City was a small town not far from Smokeless City, and the Zhan Family was the most powerful force within it, apart from the City Lord’s Faction!
The Zhan Family where Zhan You resided!
