Primordial Star Scripture

As Ye Chen grasped the fleeting surge of power from the severe damage to the life-bound flying sword, he began to confront Feng Lun Heavenly Saint. Meanwhile, millions of miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty's northern territory, Luoshuang City, in a region of the Polar Star Archipelago, located in the eastern part of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

In the void, images were projected within a light screen. Looking into the image, one could clearly see the scene of Ye Chen wielding the flying sword's power against Feng Lun Heavenly Saint!

Underneath, three exceptionally beautiful women were looking up at this light screen.

These three exquisite beauties were none other than Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, and the most powerful Palace Master Yuan Li of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!

What Ye Chen didn't know was that, while he faced Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's deadly assault, forced to rely on his life-bound flying sword "Crimson Fire" and even allowing "Crimson Fire" to unleash its secondary power due to life-bound damage, Jiang Yao, far away in the Polar Star Archipelago, felt a connection at the same time.

Ye Chen's life-bound flying sword "Crimson Fire" and Jiang Yao's life-bound flying sword "Ghostly Water" were a pair of twin swords.

When Ye Chen was still in the True Qi Realm at Qingyun Sect, he prepared to summon "Crimson Fire" to face the threat posed by the elder Zhou Yuntian of the Heavenly Net Sect, which triggered a reaction from Jiang Yao at Taixuan Sect, prompting her to personally go to Qingyun Sect and strike down Zhou Yuntian.

Now that Ye Chen had fully activated the life damage of the flying sword, naturally it caused Jiang Yao to sense his anomaly all at once.

The moment Ye Chen drew the "Crimson Fire" flying sword, Jiang Yao, along with Liu Qingmei and Palace Master Yuan Li, were on their way to an island in the Polar Star Archipelago; the frantic reaction of "Ghostly Water" immediately caused Jiang Yao's complexion to change dramatically.

Only a problem with Ye Chen's "Crimson Fire" could have caused such a turbulent reaction from "Ghostly Water".

Jiang Yao immediately thought that Ye Chen was in trouble.

Considering that Ye Chen, who had become exceedingly powerful, had to resort to using the Crimson Fire flying sword, he must be facing an exceptionally dangerous situation, which made Jiang Yao anything but calm.

Her heart fluttered so much that she nearly fell from the sky.

Jiang Yao didn't yet know Ye Chen had gone to the Great Zhou Dynasty. A moment later, she even turned her head to fly towards the direction of the Heavenly Sacred Palace in the central realm.

Jiang Yao's panicked state astonished the Palace Master Yuan Li and Liu Qingmei, her travel companions.

It was only the calmness of Palace Master Yuan Li that stopped the distressed Jiang Yao from veering off course.

Leveraging the twin connection between Jiang Yao's "Ghostly Water" and the "Crimson Fire", as well as the Heavenly Saint level abilities of Palace Master Yuan Li, she successfully sensed Ye Chen's location from hundreds of miles away and projected the scene of his battle.

Upon seeing Ye Chen drawing upon the life-damage power of "Crimson Fire" to confront a Heavenly Saint, Jiang Yao's heart was suspended in midair.

Jiang Yao realized that with the distance between her and Ye Chen, there was no way she could arrive in time to help him, and even Palace Master Yuan Li could not traverse such a distance to reach the Great Zhou Dynasty without the mark of a Heavenly Saint.

With no one to aid Ye Chen, and him facing a formidable Heavenly Saint alone, Jiang Yao was immensely worried!

It was only after a few moments, with the might of the life-damaged "Crimson Fire", that Ye Chen completely obliterated Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's killing move and captured him in his hands, which allowed Jiang Yao's heart to ease slightly.

Only then did Jiang Yao turn her attention towards Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.

In the young girl's eyes, as she looked at Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, there was endless killing intent.

And there was good reason for that killing intent!

If it were not for Ye Chen having the "Crimson Fire", he might have been dead at the hands of this Heavenly Saint by now.

Thinking of what would have happened to Ye Chen, Jiang Yao no longer knew how she would face the future.

Jiang Yao understood that there must be a reason why this Heavenly Saint targeted Ye Chen. She resolved that once she returned from the Polar Star Archipelago, she would overturn the central realm if necessary to uncover this reason and completely eliminate those who targeted Ye Chen!

Observing Jiang Yao's expression, Palace Master Yuan Li, standing beside her, also spoke up, "Princess Yao, I remember this Heavenly Saint; he should be cultivating at Heavenly Saint Mountain. Once we return to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"

A trace of murderous intent also surged in Palace Master Yuan Li's eyes.

Ye Chen was a rare prodigy that the Heavenly Sacred Palace hadn't seen in thousands of years, and coupled with Jiang Yao's relationship, no matter who targeted Ye Chen, she would definitely not stand by idly!

…

Seeing Ye Chen capture a Heavenly Saint in his hands, the patrons of the tavern were completely stunned.

The battle between Ye Chen and Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, with its terrifying destructive power that disturbed the space within hundreds of yards, and the fearsome sight of annihilation that pierced through the void, had caused everyone to forget their own dangers, completely immersed in the shock of witnessing a battle at the Heavenly Saint level.

A fight at the Heavenly Saint level.

It was something they had never seen in their lifetimes!

The intense spectacle of the battle even made the patrons feel as if a hint of the killing intent spilling in their direction would be enough to kill them on the spot!

Fortunately, in a battle at the Heavenly Saint level, not a sliver of killing intent was wasted, entirely focused on opposing the adversary; otherwise, they would certainly be dead by now!

Even more unexpectedly to these people, the young lad who seemed at a slight disadvantage ultimately turned the tide of battle, completely suppressing a true Heavenly Saint.

And to think that this young lad had been eating and drinking in the tavern with them just earlier, the tavern patrons were completely dizzy.

They had actually shared wine and food with a master of the Heavenly Saint level!

This was simply inconceivable.

Among the tavern patrons, Liu Yingying's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock and joy.

She had been praying for the young brother who appeared in the tavern and helped her escape the crisis with the Heavenly Tiger Gang to win, but she had not anticipated that he would actually succeed, and was even capable of contending with a Heavenly Saint!

…

In the void.

The Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, held in Ye Chen's grasp, had already turned completely ashen.

He would rather die than believe that this Ye Chen, only at the early stage of the Five Apertures Rotating Pill, could actually handle his Great Destructive God Bead, and could even withstand a mid-stage Heavenly Saint-level killing move!

When he saw the aura surpassing the initial stage of the Heavenly Saint emanating from Ye Chen, Feng Lun Heavenly Saint knew that for Ye Chen now, killing him would be as effortless as blowing off dust!

If he had known how formidable Ye Chen was, even if Yin Qianjue offered ten, no, a hundred Heavenly Wood Divine Flowers, he would never have chosen to confront Ye Chen.

What use would more Heavenly Wood Divine Flowers be if he had no life left to enjoy them?

Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was already full of regret. When Ye Chen's killing intent was released towards him, he couldn't help but wail and beg for mercy, "Ye Chen, spare my life! I am a Heavenly Saint of the Heavenly Saint Mountain, you can't kill me!"

Looking at Feng Lun Heavenly Saint begging for mercy, Ye Chen snorted coldly.

Spare your life?

I nearly died at your hand, and yet to spare you would be a joke!

Whether it was the peril of death or the damage to the life-force of my flying sword, you shall pay with your life!

Murderous intent surged in Ye Chen's eyes, and the destructive power from the damaged life-force of his flying sword was released with a roar, sweeping towards Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's sea of qi and throughout his body, directly shattering his sea of qi and rendering his meridians useless!

Then, Ye Chen squeezed hard, and a strange Divine Soul force surged into the soon-to-be-dead Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's mind.

This Divine Soul force was unexpectedly a "Soul Searching Secret Skill" that Ye Chen had cultivated from the "Forbidden Divine Tome," which he had acquired from Heavenly Saint Moya.

Having been hunted by Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, it was only natural for Ye Chen to investigate the reason.

Taking advantage of the moment Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's sea of qi and meridians were destroyed, when he was at his most vulnerable, was the perfect opportunity to search his soul for answers.

Overwhelmed by the Divine Soul force invading his mind, the already vulnerable Feng Lun Heavenly Saint passed out completely.

Minutes later, the hand clasped on Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's head flung violently, tossing the unconscious Feng Lun Heavenly Saint away. At the same time, Ye Chen pocketed the storage ring and the Great Destructive God Bead he had found on Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, flicked his finger, and a cluster of flames flew straight at Feng Lun Heavenly Saint.

Boom!

In an instant, the early-stage Heavenly Saint contender Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, who was unconscious, was burned to nothingness by True Fire.

Having killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, a glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, "Yin Qianjue? Heavenly Wood Divine Flower? So it really was the work of someone from the Western Desolation Demon Sect!"

"Once I have dealt with the Nine Nether Pond, I will settle the score with Yin Qianjue!"

...

One day later.

A youthful figure stood atop a snow-covered mountain, gazing at a vast expanse of ice and snow in front of him.

Looking deep into the ice and snow plain, one could faintly see a hundred-zhang-sized, gloomy and cold pond, situated right in the midst of the icy plain.

This youthful figure was unmistakably Ye Chen, who after dealing with Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, had left Frostfall Town and hurried to the region of the Nine Nether Pond.

After Ye Chen had killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, another incident occurred in Frostfall Town. With the fall of the three leaders of the Heavenly Tiger Gang, the previously brazen and powerful group in Frostfall Town was besieged by the entire town's forces.

The Black Wind Stronghold, occupied by the Heavenly Tiger Gang, was obliterated overnight!

The bandits of the Heavenly Tiger Gang, those who had committed evil deeds, were either killed or fled. Overnight, the Heavenly Tiger Gang, which had chilled the hearts of countless townspeople of Frostfall Town, became history. Even the young leader of the Heavenly Tiger Gang, who had been crippled by Ye Chen, was directly killed by disciples of the "Snowfall Sect," a sixth-rank sect in Frostfall Town.

However, as Ye Chen made his way to the Nine Nether Pond, he paid no attention to any of this.

Even those powerhouses of Frostfall Town who had heard of Ye Chen's deeds and rushed to the tavern to pay homage to him found themselves too late.

Atop the snowy mountain, Ye Chen was looking towards the ice and snow plain and the gloomy cold pond in the center of the plain.

"Crossing this mountain, I will enter the territory of the Nine Nether Pond."

"It is said that the Nine Nether Pond is frozen for tens of miles with no life present, truly extraordinary. Just standing on the outskirts, the bone-chilling cold penetrating through is astonishing."

"I fear even some Heavenly Saint powerhouses would not be truly able to approach the edge of the Nine Nether Pond."

Ye Chen gazed at the frigid pond in front of him, a cluster of blue flame slowly burning in his hand. As the cold air surged, even the flames seemed ready to freeze.

Boom!

Ye Chen squeezed his palm, drawing the flames back into his body.

"Fortunately, I have cultivated the Taiyuan Chapter and possess the Five Great Divine Arts. The fire-related Divine Art seems to be restrained here, but my water-related Divine Art seems to have become more lively."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the thought of Ye Chen, the eight Five Apertures Rotating Pills in his sea of qi began to spin, each Pill revealing a blue Divine Pill Law Pattern.

"Let's see how mystical this Nine Nether Pond really is!"

With the appearance of the blue Divine Pill Law Patterns, Ye Chen spread his wings like a great roc, leaping down from the snow mountain, and landing onto the ice and snow plain within the territory of the Nine Nether Pond.

Then Ye Chen stepped forward, heading towards the gloomy cold pond that lay at the center of the icy snow plain.
