Chapter 3691 - 3681: Whereabouts of the Sacred Origin Heart (Seventh Update)
Chapter 3691: Chapter 3681: Whereabouts of the Sacred Origin Heart (Seventh Update)
The terrifying power seemed to annihilate the All Heavens and crush the Universe, with endless starlight and Netherworld Energy grinding Zhou Jin like a millstone.
At this moment, the giant hammer in Zhou Jin’s hand not only couldn’t be wielded, but was annihilated in an instant, and at the same time, a mighty pressure descended upon Zhou Jin.
"Damn it!"
Feeling this horrifying pressure, Zhou Jin’s expression changed dramatically. He realized he couldn’t withstand it, which indicated just how terrifying the Refining Array was, filling him with dread.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
Within the formation, everything that existed, whether space or light, was all annihilated by the starlight and Netherworld Energy, turning into endless nihility.
Zhou Jin gathered all his strength, with limitless spiritual energy guarding him, struggling to resist the grinding of this formation, but his body felt increasingly heavy, his face grew more unsightly, and his aura became chaotic.
"Does this boy really want to suppress and kill me!"
Perceiving this, Zhou Jin was filled with horror. He couldn’t believe Ye Chen was so bold as to try to kill a sect elder, which was simply an act of betrayal.
However, at this moment, Zhou Jin had no time to lament Ye Chen’s ruthlessness. He dared not hesitate and aimed to escape the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation immediately, or else he might truly perish here.
"You brat, remember this, we are irreconcilable!"
Zhou Jin shouted angrily with unwillingness, suddenly taking out a golden giant hammer. This giant hammer emitted a mighty aura and contained infinite power, it was Zhou Jin’s most important artifact.
At this moment, Zhou Jin’s expression turned ferocious as he suddenly tossed the golden giant hammer into the air.
"Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer, sacrifice!"
Zhou Jin, in his bid to escape from the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation, actually sacrificed the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer!
This scene caused the disciples and elders watching to change their expressions drastically. This was Zhou Jin’s strongest magic treasure, and yet he offered it as a sacrifice, indicating the kind of crisis he faced within the formation.
At this point, everyone gasped, realizing how ruthless Ye Chen was. Clearly, Ye Chen was not a kind person, causing Lei Rong and others’ expressions to change slightly. If they had provoked Ye Chen earlier and Ye Chen had truly become enraged, they might have been refined and annihilated by this formation!
Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao were also staring at Ye Chen in shock, not expecting Ye Chen to be so decisive as to directly operate the formation to suppress and kill Zhou Jin. It was a truly heaven-defying act, utterly without restraint!
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer flew into the air, emitting endless brilliance, the golden light reflecting across the All Heavens as a terrifying aura swept forth.
Though the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer was sacrificed, it caused Zhou Jin to unleash destructive power, and a sharp edge pierced around him.
"Explode for me!"
At this moment, Zhou Jin’s aura surged to the peak. He launched a full-force strike against the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation, suddenly breaking it open, and then fled in panic without looking back.
Zhou Jin was indeed frightened by Ye Chen’s ruthless decisiveness; the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation was too powerful. Even though he sacrificed the Heavenly Splendor Treasure Lotus Hammer, it only allowed him to temporarily break open a gap, so he dared not hesitate and fled immediately; otherwise, if caught by the formation again, he would surely die.
Now Zhou Jin’s escape left the disciples and elders utterly stunned, shocked as they looked at the mighty formation enveloping Netherworld Peak.
"Everyone, aren’t you leaving? Do you desire to experience the formation?"
Ye Chen’s voice rang out as the formation suddenly vibrated, seemingly about to imprison and refine everyone present.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the elders’ faces turned pale, while the disciples showed expressions of fear.
Just moments ago, Ye Chen wielded the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation, almost refining and suppressing Zhou Jin, a scene that left them deeply terrified, realizing Ye Chen’s ruthlessness, and they quickly turned to leave, afraid of being refined.
The elders too felt that Ye Chen disregarded authority, showing them no respect. They secretly harbored resentment and decided that if given the chance, they would cause trouble for Ye Chen before leaving.
Watching everyone depart, Ye Chen’s eyes were calm, the power of the Nine Heaven Netherworld Formation withdrew, concealed, and the hall returned to its usual tranquility.
"Senior Brother."
At this moment, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao, eyes gleaming, respectfully cupped their hands and called to Ye Chen.
Witnessing what had happened, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao felt a deep admiration for Ye Chen, impressing them with his decisiveness, not even sparing the elders face.
"Thanks for your help today, come, let’s have tea."
Ye Chen smiled calmly, inviting the two to sit at the jade stone table in the hall, not far from the Netherworld Spirit Water.
Seeing the Netherworld Spirit Water, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao’s expressions changed slightly, the purity of the spiritual energy from the Netherworld Spirit Water being immense, clearly indicating the cause of the anomaly at Netherworld Peak.
"Senior Brother, you’ve gained a treasure land."
Yang Qianyu couldn’t help but exclaim. Just sitting by the Netherworld Spirit Water allowed him to feel intense spiritual energy entering his body through his nose and mouth, refreshing him.
"Just luck."
Ye Chen replied calmly, inviting them to drink tea.
After taking a sip of the tea, Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao couldn’t help but widen their eyes. The tea had been brewed with Netherworld Spirit Water, and the spiritual energy of the Netherworld Spirit Water was extremely pure. At this moment, a sip of tea made them feel the spiritual energy within their bodies tremble incessantly, and their cultivation levels improved a bit.
"This spring water is truly extraordinary."
Yang Qianyu stared intently at the Netherworld Spirit Water, unable to help but praise it in his heart.
Both Yang Qianyu and Liu Yunmiao were righteous individuals. Although they admired the Netherworld Spirit Water, they would not covet it or attempt to seize it, which was also why Ye Chen was willing to let them enter the main hall to taste the tea.
The three of them chatted for a while. After drinking quite a bit of tea, Yang Qianyu felt his realm loosen once again and hurriedly excused himself.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. Yang Qianyu’s bloodline talent was indeed impressive, and the Netherworld Spirit Water truly extraordinary. Just by drinking some tea, Yang Qianyu experienced a breakthrough. Even if he couldn’t break through the realm upon returning, his strength would still see some improvement.
Seeing as Yang Qianyu could achieve such progress, Liu Yunmiao, whose realm was lower, had his inner qi trembling even more. He was already at the threshold of a breakthrough, and at this moment, was almost triggering a Heavenly Tribulation.
"Master, I must take my leave."
Liu Yunmiao looked at Ye Chen and spoke awkwardly.
Alone with Ye Chen, Liu Yunmiao still remembered his identity as a servant and spoke up.
Hearing this, Ye Chen waved his hand and calmly said, "You may call me Senior Brother. You need not leave; stay here for your breakthrough, and from now on, reside at Netherworld Peak."
Netherworld Peak was several times better than Liu Yunmiao’s current place of cultivation. Upon hearing this, Liu Yunmiao was stunned, but also somewhat moved.
Staying at Netherworld Peak for cultivation allowed Liu Yunmiao to progress faster in his cultivation, and with tempted heart, he agreed.
This was Ye Chen’s reward to Liu Yunmiao, appreciating his commitment to their wager, even helping despite the dangers.
At this moment, Liu Yunmiao went to the summit of Netherworld Peak to make his breakthrough. The overwhelming divine lightning swept across, and Liu Yunmiao, being competent, passed through the Tribulation lightning without any risk.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Six Paths Sect couldn’t help but grit their teeth. Liu Yunmiao indeed gained benefits from following Ye Chen, which made them even more resentful. Clearly, they attributed all this to Ye Chen having acquired Netherworld Peak.
"Damn ant! Do not let me seize the opportunity, or I will surely take Netherworld Peak and let you suffer enduring torment, wishing for death!"
At this moment, Zhou Jin, within his place of cultivation, looked in the direction of Netherworld Peak, his eyes flowing with killing intent, and uttered coldly.
After Liu Yunmiao’s breakthrough, he remained at Netherworld Peak, following Ye Chen as a servant.
Ye Chen, during these days, did not venture out but rather sat beside the Netherworld Spirit Water, focusing on cultivation for some time, stabilizing his recently achieved realm and even approaching another breakthrough.
"If I advance further, it’s estimated that it won’t be long before reaching the Heavenly God Realm Seventh Level."
"This way, there’s a chance with the three-month agreement with the Star Moon Palace."
"Once all the opportunities here are absorbed, I can set out for the Dark Domain."
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, though currently, having just reached the Sixth Level of the Heavenly God Realm, advancing too quickly meant the foundation might surely be unstable. Moreover, breaking through to the Heavenly God Realm Seventh Level required some opportunities, which hadn’t yet presented themselves; thus, Ye Chen was in no rush.
In the subsequent time, Ye Chen became more familiar with Liu Yunmiao, and at present the two were in the main hall, with Ye Chen looking at Liu Yunmiao and his gaze flickering.
"Junior Liu, do you know of the Sacred Origin Heart?"
When Ye Chen said this, Liu Yunmiao’s face subtly changed as he looked deeply at Ye Chen, then nodded and said, "Of course, the Sacred Origin Heart was originally the sacred object of our Six Paths Sect."
"I’ve heard that too, but it’s rumored that the Sacred Origin Heart mysteriously disappeared along with the Sect Master Yin Zunxiao, not sure if it’s true."
Ye Chen spoke casually.
"Senior Brother, I don’t know either."
Liu Yunmiao’s expression changed, as if hesitating, and he spoke haltingly.
Seeing this, Ye Chen’s heart stirred slightly. Liu Yunmiao seemed to know something, but given the significant concern over the Sacred Origin Heart, he was not completely trusting of Ye Chen yet, and thus dared not disclose it.
Perceiving Liu Yunmiao’s mindset, Ye Chen did not press further, gently nodded, and did not inquire anymore.
These days, Ye Chen stayed atop Netherworld Peak but his name spread throughout the Six Paths Sect.
Within the sect, many disciples considered Ye Chen to be extraordinarily gifted, capable of defeating the Heavenly Repairing Realm at the Heavenly God Realm, already displaying Ye Chen’s extraordinary nature.
And Ye Chen’s use of the formation to drive back numerous disciples and elders was well-known, his decisive slaughtering character also earning admiration, hence many praised Ye Chen highly.
This group was led by Yang Qianyu, as well as several disciples with strength comparable to Yang Qianyu, who showed Ye Chen a friendly attitude, honoring him as Senior Brother.
During this time, many had visited Netherworld Peak to pay respects to Ye Chen, fostering decent relationships.
At this point, with Liu Yunmiao cultivating on Netherworld Peak, Ye Chen took a rare leave from Netherworld Peak, wandering around the sect to visit friendly disciples.
Ye Chen found many people, engaging in pleasant conversations, but whenever the Sacred Origin Heart was brought up, they would clamor up right away, as if the Sacred Origin Heart was a taboo within the Six Paths Sect, no one dared to speak of it.
