Primordial Star Scripture

The millions of martial artists from the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wastelands could never have imagined that two of their Heavenly Saints would die in such a manner.

This is a Heavenly Saint!

To be crushed to death like ants by a Void Sky True God!

Not only the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wastelands, but the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent was unaware that such a Void Sky True God had descended to their world.

They were even more oblivious to the fact that this Void Sky True God not only killed the two great Heavenly Saints of the Western Wastelands but later caused a massive upheaval in the Sea of Chaos and even spread the turmoil to the Thirteen Southern Nations and the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

It even brought tremendous trouble to Ye Chen!

Of course, all of this is a story for later.

At this moment, after having killed the two Heavenly Saints of the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wastelands, the Void Sky True God continued to conceal himself within the Chaotic Sea Area to heal his wounds, his whereabouts unknown to others.

Ye Chen, who was in the subsidiary hall of the Icebound Temple, was even more clueless.

At this time, Ye Chen was still striving to pass the second stage of the Divine King inheritance test.

The days passed one by one.

When six hundred fifty-two days had elapsed inside the subsidiary hall of the Icebound Temple, translating to just over six days outside, Ye Chen had completed the eight hundred ninth of the fundamental eight hundred ten diagrams in his cultivation of the Icebound Divine Body.

At this moment, Ye Chen was only one step away from fully completing the fundamental eight hundred ten forms of the Icebound Divine Body. He was only one diagram short of completing all eight hundred ten diagrams!

Having completed the Nine Stars Emergence, Divine Light into Skin, Divine Light into Hair, Divine Light into Bone, and Divine Light into Acupuncture Points, one could see that every acupuncture point, every hair follicle, every cell in Ye Chen's body was flickering with the snow-white divine light of the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When Ye Chen mobilized the power of his physical body, he already felt that just with his physical strength alone, he could absolutely crush an early-stage Heavenly Saint!

Nearly two years of arduous cultivation of the basic techniques of the Divine King level Cultivation Technique, the Icebound Divine Body, had brought Ye Chen great gains and yet another powerful trump card!

"It's not completely finished yet."

"Although I have already made some achievements with the fundamental Divine Body, I am still one step shy of completing the basic cultivation, one last diagram short, that of opening the Nine Divine Doors."

Ye Chen's gaze turned to the most captivating diagram on the dome of the subsidiary hall of the Icebound Temple. That diagram was the eight hundred tenth one - the Nine Divine Doors Diagram.

This eight hundred tenth diagram, like the first one, required cultivation methods that linked to the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars.

The first diagram had drawn down a vortex of nine stars onto the body from the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars, whereas the last diagram involved opening nine divine doors within the body, capable of harboring the Icebound Divine Power.

Only by opening the Nine Divine Doors could one truly begin cultivating the official technique of the Icebound Divine Body!

"Come on, let's cultivate this final diagram now!"

Ye Chen looked at the eight hundred tenth diagram, his eyes sparkling. He then stood up from his meditative pose in the void, clenching his raised hands above his head following the cultivation method indicated by the diagram.

Within three years to complete the second stage of the cultivation test. With only six hundred fifty-two days used so far, Ye Chen had enough time to comprehend this diagram.

Ye Chen had unshakeable confidence in completing the entire eight hundred ten diagrams of cultivation!

With hands clenched above his head, Ye Chen also looked towards the dome of the subsidiary hall of the Icebound Temple. Finally, following the guiding method of the secret map on the dome, he traversed the endless starry sky once more and saw the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars.

At this point, having completed the cultivation of the first eight hundred and nine diagrams, Ye Chen felt an inexplicable connection to the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars upon seeing them again.

It was as if he had been cultivating on this Ice Domain Divine Star for a hundred, a thousand years!

As if he was birthed by this Ice Domain Divine Star!

There was a connection by blood.

A connection by spirit and mind.

This feeling, this realization, persisted for a good half hour. Then, Ye Chen, standing in the void in the subsidiary hall of the Icebound Temple, clenched his high-raised, imaginary-gripped hands with force.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A tremendous storm suddenly erupted on the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars that Ye Chen's eyes perceived!

Amidst the storm, pieces of ice and snow on the Ice Domain Divine Stars swirled wildly, forming nine huge icy doors on the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars.

Meanwhile, the previously cultivated Icebound Divine Light in every pore, every acupuncture point, every cell of Ye Chen's body burst forth resplendently.

In that effulgence, deep within Ye Chen's flesh, divine doors with patterns identical to the nine huge icy doors on the Ice Domain Divine Stars emerged.

Divine Doors!

These were unmistakably the Divine Doors that allowed his physical body to sense the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars, to draw on the Icebound Divine Power from them!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It felt like the opening of heavens and earth. With the appearance of these Nine Divine Doors inside his body, Ye Chen felt a true connection to the nine Ice Domain Divine Stars.

His power surged once more.

Even though he had not yet truly cultivated the Icebound Divine Body and lacked the techniques to draw on the Icebound Divine Power, the groundwork laid by nearly two years of cultivating this technique had enabled him to easily slay even a powerful early-stage Heavenly Saint like Feng Lun Heavenly Saint with just his physical strength.

Ye Chen had finally acquired another new trump card!

The Divine Doors revealed, and the foundation was established.

On the six hundred fifty-second day, Ye Chen finally completed the cultivation of the basic eight hundred and ten forms of the Icebound Divine Body!

Boom!

Ye Chen flew down from the void and stood once more on the land of the Icebound Temple.

Although aware that little more than six days had passed on the outside, Ye Chen had truly spent six hundred fifty-two days within the secondary hall of the Icebound Temple!

This was Ye Chen's longest cultivation session to date! Your next chapter is on empire

"Divine King inheritance assessment, the second phase, is finally complete," Ye Chen said with a smile of relief on his face.

Not completing the task would have led to his demise, so Ye Chen had naturally been somewhat worried, but now that he had succeeded in his cultivation, he could finally put his mind at ease.

Ye Chen was smiling faintly, but at this moment, the Hall Spirit of the secondary hall of the Icebound Temple had gone completely crazy.

Six hundred fifty-two days!

The youth before it had taken only six hundred fifty-two days to complete the cultivation of the eight hundred and ten secret maps.

This was more than a year ahead of the three-year timeline set by its master, the great Divine King!

Unbelievable.

The talented youth before it had shocked the Hall Spirit of the secondary hall of the Icebound Temple to its core.

"Young man, what is your name?" the Hall Spirit of the secondary hall asked Ye Chen.

Before, the Hall Spirit hadn't bothered to ask for Ye Chen's name because if Ye Chen had failed the second phase, there was only one outcome—death. So, asking would have been pointless.

But now the Hall Spirit knew that the youth before it might very well be the first true successor to complete the Divine King inheritance assessment!

He might become the inheritor of its master, the great Divine King!

At this time, it naturally needed to ask for Ye Chen's name.

"Honorable Hall Spirit, my name is Ye Chen," Ye Chen replied with a smile to the Hall Spirit.

"Ye Chen."

"Ye Chen."

The Hall Spirit repeated Ye Chen's name and then raised its voice, "Good, Ye Chen, you have completed the second phase of the assessment. As long as you complete the third phase of the assessment and defeat the Icebound Guardians, you will become the true inheritor of my master and receive news about the main hall of the Icebound Temple. By then, I should address you as Lord Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen, would you like to battle the Icebound Guardians now?" the Hall Spirit asked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen shook his head, "Honorable Hall Spirit, you mentioned that there were three years to complete the second phase in this secondary hall. I have finished ahead of schedule, may I use the remaining time to cultivate other techniques?"

The third phase of the assessment was to battle the Icebound Guardians left by the Divine King.

Ye Chen did not know just how powerful these Icebound Guardians were, so he naturally wanted to seize every opportunity to further strengthen himself.

With more than four hundred days left of the three years, if he could use all this time to cultivate, Ye Chen was confident that not only could he master the basic combat skills of the Icebound Divine Body, but he could also significantly enhance his strongest assets, the Taiyuan Divine Pill and Five Great Divine Arts.

By then, Ye Chen would be even more confident when facing the Icebound Guardians in the third phase of the assessment!

Hearing that Ye Chen wanted to continue cultivating, the Hall Spirit stated, "Three years were given to break through the second phase of the assessment, and since you have completed it early, you are certainly entitled to some rest."

"If you wish to use this time to cultivate, you should. An opportunity like this hundredfold time acceleration is rare to come by."

"Ye Chen, continue your cultivation. When the three years are up, I will remind you. Then you can go challenge the Icebound Guardians and face the third phase of the assessment," the Hall Spirit added.

Having completed the second phase of the assessment early and with his exceptional talents, Ye Chen had earned much courtesy from the Hall Spirit.

"Thank you, Honorable Hall Spirit," Ye Chen said, filled with joy at the news that he could continue his cultivation.

He had many techniques at his disposal, but what he lacked was time to cultivate. With the chance to benefit from a hundredfold increase in the flow of time, he was eager to take full advantage.

The Taiyuan Divine Pill and Five Great Divine Arts, he had not spent as much time cultivating these as he had on the basic eight hundred and ten forms of the Icebound Divine Body. Now was the perfect time to continue breaking through the techniques of the Taiyuan Chapter.

After thanking the Hall Spirit, Ye Chen immediately sat down in the secondary hall of the Icebound Temple and began assimilating the Starry Sky Dawn Light within his Qi Sea, cultivating a new Rotating Pill.

This session of cultivation continued, day after day.

On this day.

Ye Chen, who was meditating with his eyes closed, was suddenly called out by the Hall Spirit, "Ye Chen, the three years are up. You need to prepare to begin the third phase of the assessment."

The three years were over?

Ye Chen, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking into Ye Chen's Qi Sea, where there were previously only eight Five Apertures Rotating Pills, the entire void of the Qi Sea was now scattered with them.

The total number of Rotating Pills had reached an astonishing three hundred fifty-two!

In the three years inside the secondary hall of the Icebound Temple, barely ten days had passed on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Thanks to the different flow rates of time, Ye Chen had also made significant progress in his cultivation of the Taiyuan Chapter!
