Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 337: The Colossal Hand That Supports the Heavens



The deputy temple spirit was inexplicably excited.

Ye Chen, the focus of the deputy temple spirit's gaze, had his mind completely immersed in the shock of fully comprehending the first of the eight hundred and ten foundational diagrams of the Icebound Divine Body.

"The Icebound Divine Body is a Divine Path Skill specialized in cultivating the physical body, even more mysterious and powerful than the Nine Transformation Fighting Body I've practiced!"

"This Divine Path Skill was comprehended by the owner of the Icebound Temple, the Divine King, from the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars. Once the Icebound Divine Body is fully cultivated, one can even draw Divine Energy directly from the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars, with boundless power!"

"These eight hundred and ten foundational techniques serve as the starting methods for laying the foundations of the Divine Body. The first diagram allowed a Nine-Star Whirlpool to appear in my flesh, drawing in the true qi of heaven and earth, and the second diagram begins the cultivation of the Icebound Divine Light within the physical body!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After sensing the changes in his body, Ye Chen's mind stirred, the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars in his eyes disappeared, and he turned his gaze back to the second diagram on the wall.

As Ye Chen observed the second diagram, the nine swirling star patterns on his body also began to move and change in accordance with the cultivation method depicted in the second diagram.

Having fully comprehended the first diagram, Ye Chen then completely immersed himself in the insight of the second diagram.

Time passed.

Thirty days had gone by in the deputy temple of the Icebound Temple, and Ye Chen had already reached the thirty-seventh of the eight hundred and ten diagrams. At this time, Ye Chen was no longer seated within the great hall; instead, he floated within the vast emptiness of the giant temple!

At this moment, Ye Chen's entire bodily form radiated a milky white halo, and peering through the fabric of his garments at his flesh, one could even discern an extremely mystical aura of Icebound Divine Light emerging.

Amidst the faint appearance of the Icebound Divine Light, one could sense a formidable and terrifying power concealed within Ye Chen's flesh.

If a mighty being were to sense the strength of Ye Chen's body at this moment, they would undoubtedly be astonished; merely cultivating up to the thirty-seventh technique of this foundational Icebound Divine Body skill, his physical strength was nearly reaching the level of a Heavenly Saint.

If he were to complete all eight hundred and ten techniques without relying on the Taiyuan Divine Pill or the Five Great Divine Arts, simply relying on the strength of his body alone, Ye Chen might possess yet another ability capable of contending with powerful Heavenly Saints!

And this was merely the foundation of the Icebound Divine Body.

The true Divine King's legacy, surpassing the foundational techniques of the Icebound Divine Body, was unimaginable in its potential might!

The foundational eight hundred and ten techniques of the Icebound Divine Body involved making nine stars emerge, Divine Light entering the skin, Divine Light entering the hair, Divine Light entering the bones, Divine Light entering the acupoints, and finally, directly opening nine Divine Gates within the body, concealing Icebound Divine Energy!

When the body opens all nine Divine Gates, that marks the complete cultivation of the eight hundred and ten foundational techniques!

Thirty days passed, and Ye Chen cultivated up to the thirty-seventh diagram, completing the cultivation of Divine Light entering the skin.

Eighty days passed, and Ye Chen had cultivated up to the one hundred and eighth diagram, mastering Divine Light entering the hair!

Two hundred and thirty days passed, and Ye Chen finally completed the cultivation of Divine Light entering the bones, directly cultivating up to the three hundred and sixtieth diagram!

And this timeframe was within the deputy temple of the Icebound Temple, where time flowed a hundred times faster than outside.

In the actual Barbaric Wilderness Continent, barely over two days had passed!

The deputy temple of the Icebound Temple left by the Divine King, with its hundredfold time acceleration law, was profoundly mysterious.

...

At the bottom of the Nine Nether Pool, within the mysterious deputy temple of the Icebound Temple, Ye Chen was seizing the time, diligently cultivating the foundational eight hundred and ten techniques of the Icebound Divine Body, striving to complete the second stage of the Divine King's legacy assessment.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Yin Qianjue was in a state of panic.

Even within his own residential estate, he hadn't sat down for two hours, pacing back and forth with a pallid face.

"How is this possible, how could Brother Feng Lun die?!"

Ever since he received the message three days ago from Heavenly Saint Mountain where Feng Lun Heavenly Saint was, stating that Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's Lifebound Law Placard had collapsed, he had been utterly flustered.

The Lifebound Law Placard is a powerful Sacred Artifact used to monitor the safety of the Heavenly Saints on Heavenly Saint Mountain, containing the life essence and soul of a Heavenly Saint. Only when a Heavenly Saint falls does their Lifebound Law Placard collapse.

Now, with the collapse of Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's Lifebound Law Placard, it directly indicated that Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, one of the leading figures among the early-stage Heavenly Saints on Heavenly Saint Mountain, had fallen!

This event had caused a great commotion throughout all of Heavenly Saint Mountain.

The fall of a Heavenly Saint was a rare occurrence for the Heavenly Sacred Palace over these many years!

Especially Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, who hadn't reached the end of his lifespan; his fall was definitely due to an accident!

Other Heavenly Saints didn't know the reason for Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's death, but Yin Qianjue was completely petrified.

Because he had received a message from Feng Lun Heavenly Saint some days ago, informing him that he was tracking Ye Chen, who had left the Heavenly Sacred Palace, and would seize the opportunity to eliminate Ye Chen.

At that time, Yin Qianjue was looking forward to Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's successful return, but what he couldn't have anticipated was that Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, who was following Ye Chen, had actually met his demise!

"Could it be that Ye Chen killed Brother Feng Lun?!"

This thought suddenly appeared in Yin Qianjue's mind.

As soon as this thought surfaced, Yin Qianjue shook his head in denial.

"Impossible, Ye Chen is just at the early stage of the Pellet Rotating Realm, hasn't even passed the third floor of the Holy Temple Tower, his strength is merely that of an average early-stage Heavenly Saint, he absolutely could not defeat Brother Feng Lun!"

However, since Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's death occurred while following Ye Chen, if he didn't die at Ye Chen's hand, then whose hand did he die by?

"Could there be an even more powerful Heavenly Saint protecting Ye Chen?"

Thinking of this, Yin Qianjue shivered with fear.

If there really was a more powerful Heavenly Saint protecting Ye Chen, and if they found out it was he who had incited Feng Lun Heavenly Saint to kill Ye Chen, then he, Yin Qianjue, would truly be in trouble, and there might even be a threat to his life!

"No, don't scare yourself."

"Ye Chen is from the Southern Territory, and the strongest there is only Heavenly Saint Long Xuan at the beginning stage of Heavenly Saint. Moreover, I heard that Heavenly Saint Long Xuan is in seclusion; there are no powerful Heavenly Saints in the Southern Territory protecting Ye Chen."

"Perhaps Brother Feng Lun met with some other accident."

Yin Qianjue comforted himself internally, searching for all kinds of reasons for Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's downfall.

But his heart could not calm down; it grew increasingly fearful.

Yin Qianjue even considered leaving the Heavenly Sacred Palace to lay low for a while, but then he thought of the three great adventures soon to come, where he would have a chance to go to the Void Abyss again, and he hesitated to give up this opportunity.

Eventually, amid doubts, anxiety, fear, and a stroke of luck, Yin Qianjue wrote a sound transmission letter and sent it back to the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness.

He had to inform the Heavenly Saints of the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness that his mission to have a Heavenly Saint assassinate Ye Chen had failed, with that Heavenly Saint's sudden demise!

...

The Chaotic Sea Area was the most complex region on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, far from land, it was a sea of chaos.

Countless Loose Cultivators lived there, numerous powers entrenched themselves, and even quite a few late-stage Heavenly Saint realm powerhouses resided within the Chaotic Sea.

Just as Yin Qianjue was transmitting his message to the Heavenly Saints of the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness to inform them of the failed assassination attempt on Ye Chen. However, unbeknownst to him, the two Heavenly Saints from the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness who had gone to the Chaotic Sea had come across a major incident.

On this day.

The two Heavenly Saints from the Western Wilderness, Heavenly Saint Mo Fang and Crimson Source Heavenly Saint, flew out of an island in the Chaotic Sea with smiles on their faces, heading back towards the Western Wilderness.

"Crimson Source brother, who would have thought that we'd have such a smooth trip to the Chaotic Sea seeking allies? The three friends from Rosy-Cloud Island were truly willing to help us from the Western Wilderness against the Southern Territory," Heavenly Saint Mo Fang said to Crimson Source Heavenly Saint with a smile.

Crimson Source Heavenly Saint also nodded with a smile, "The three friends from Rosy-Cloud Island had once cultivated in the Heavenly Sacred Palace. With Yin Qianjue making the connection, and the generous gifts we from the Western Wilderness prepared for them, along with comparing our strength with that of the Southern Territory, they naturally wouldn't refuse."

"The four Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness, along with the three friends from Rosy-Cloud Island, in total we have seven Heavenly Saints, while the Southern Territory only has three Heavenly Saints. Our strength absolutely crushes the Southern Territory."

"Let's stick to the plan. Once we return to the Western Wilderness, we'll start preparations, and once the three friends arrive from Rosy-Cloud Island in a month, we'll officially launch the war against the Southern Territory!"

Crimson Source Heavenly Saint and Heavenly Saint Mo Fang were undoubtedly overjoyed.

For many years, the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness had been in a stalemate with their sworn enemies, the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory. Now, they finally had the opportunity to break this balance and defeat the Southern Territory, which thrilled them.

Once they defeated the Southern Territory and took back control of its region, it was not just about regaining lost territory for these few remaining Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness.

As the few remaining Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness, they were aware that the reason behind their desire to retake the Southern Territory was because the ancestor who founded the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness had discovered a shocking secret within the region of the Southern Territory!

This shocking secret, as predicted by the founder ancestor, could be something even the Void Sky True Gods would go crazy for!

The founder ancestor hadn't unraveled this great secret before he was killed, and even his followers were driven out of the Southern Territory. For all these years, the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness had been longing to return to the Southern Territory, ostensibly to recapture the lost region, but secretly, it was all for that great secret!

"Let's go back and start preparing for the war."

"Once we defeat the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory and drive them out of the region, we will be able to go back and unravel that great secret."

The two Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness had these thoughts flickering in their minds as they flew towards the Western Wilderness.

As they flew thousands of miles away from Rosy-Cloud Island and reached a part of the central Chaotic Sea Area, both Heavenly Saints suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat.

They simultaneously sensed a threat of death!

"What's going on?"

Before Heavenly Saint Mo Fang and Crimson Source Heavenly Saint had time to exchange a glance, feeling alarmed, a colossal hand emerged from beneath the vast ocean where they were flying, and reached for them.

This colossal hand, over three hundred yards long, seemed to capture the two Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness in the blink of an eye, snatching them from the void and plunging them into the sea!

The two Heavenly Saints didn't even have a chance to resist and were directly grabbed by the colossal hand into the sea from the void!

Moments later, the sea returned to calm, and the dried husks of the bodies of the two Heavenly Saints were thrown out from the sea!

The two Heavenly Saints from the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness were instantaneously killed on their way back!

And at this moment, looking down towards the bodies of the two Heavenly Saints, one could see amidst the endless waves, a figure with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged deep in the ocean, muttering to himself, "After devouring the essence blood of these two Heavenly Saints, some of the damage I suffered from forcibly traveling through the void to this Barbaric Wilderness Continent has finally healed a little."

"Devouring a few more Heavenly Saints should allow me to recover my strength as the Void Sky True God."

"However… while absorbing the essence blood of these two Heavenly Saints, it seems I've learned something else. This minor Barbaric Wilderness Continent actually hides a great secret that even we Void Sky True Gods would covet?"

"The Southern Territory region? Once I recover my strength, I shall have a good look at what kind of shocking secret it could possibly be!"

"After all, I descended to this world to investigate the matter of the Divine Phoenix Clan. The possibility of any Divine Phoenix Clan members hiding in this Barbaric Wilderness Continent is slim, so there's no rush to search for them. But if I can solve this so-called shocking secret, it would be an unexpected gain."

After murmuring to himself, the figure once again fell silent.

But from his murmuring, it was shocking to realize that this figure was actually a Void Sky True God!

And his descent to this Barbaric Wilderness Continent was to search for members of the Divine Phoenix Clan!
