Primordial Star Scripture

Boom!

With the explosive power of the Divine Body, Ye Chen shot forward like a bolt of lightning, appearing in front of the Gray Winged Dragon in an instant.

This Gray Winged Dragon was of mid-Heavenly Saint Level, and Ye Chen had been able to battle warriors at this level with his physical strength alone ever since he had mastered the eight hundred and tenth form of the Icebound Divine Body.

Now, having gained new strength from the Undying Divine Body, his physical prowess had grown even greater.

With a surge of tremendous power, a flash of light from Ye Chen's hand sliced off the head of the hundred-zhang tall Gray Winged Dragon.

The first True Dragon was slain by Ye Chen in an instant!

Ye Chen had no time to relish the sense of achievement from his first slaying of a Gray Winged Dragon, earning his initial point in the trial. His mind acted instantly, drawing the dead Gray Winged Dragon into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

He then instructed the nine Icebound Guards within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant to collect the Dragon Blood from the deceased Gray Winged Dragon.

At the same time, Ye Chen once again hid himself in the stealthy light of the Tongming Mirror.

From the moment Ye Chen made his move, to the lightning-fast slaying of the Gray Winged Dragon, to stowing the creature in his Ice Snow Jade Pendant, and then hiding himself once more—all these actions happened in the blink of an eye.

Countless Gray Winged Dragons were still flying in the sky, some embroiled in fierce battles, with none noticing what had just happened. Not a single dragon realized that one of their companions had died!

"Success!"

The plan had truly succeeded, sending Ye Chen's heart racing with excitement.

Before realizing his plan, he had been worried that other Gray Winged Dragons would notice him and that he would provoke an attack from countless dragons.

But now, having truly slain a Gray Winged Dragon, Ye Chen finally felt relieved.

This method was indeed effective!

Hidden away, Ye Chen finally had the chance to observe the Gray Winged Dragon he had just slain within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Gurgle, gurgle...

The hundred-zhang tall corpse of the Gray Winged Dragon lay across the vast land within the space of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant. Pools of Dragon Blood flowed forth from the severed head, with the nine Icebound Guards busily collecting this blood with spatial treasures.

"Dragon Blood!"

Ye Chen felt that even though this mid-Heavenly Saint Level Gray Winged Dragon was dead, its blood was still pulsating with a heart-thumping power.

As Ye Chen breathed in the scent of this Dragon Blood, the power of his Undying Divine Body began to churn within him.

"If that's the case, I should slay more Gray Winged Dragons to get enough Dragon Blood!"

The Spirit Light Child had said that to refine the Undying Divine Body with Dragon Blood, it was best to accumulate a sufficient amount of Dragon Blood. Hunting over a hundred Gray Winged Dragons and using a hundred stalks of Dragon Heart Grass might just be enough for the refinement.

Having only slain one Gray Winged Dragon, Ye Chen was still far from his goal.

Hidden in the vast pit, Ye Chen began to observe and target any lone Gray Winged Dragon that strayed into the pit without being noticed by the others.

Thud!

Another Gray Winged Dragon was slain.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three Gray Winged Dragons perished.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Afterwards, even after Ye Chen had taken down one Gray Winged Dragon, four others discovered him. But before those four could even roar out a warning, Ye Chen swiftly killed all four Gray Winged Dragons that had entered the great pit.

After slaying over thirty Gray Winged Dragons, Ye Chen finally decided to stop.

Hunting True Dragons.

In one breath, Ye Chen had slain thirty-eight Gray Winged Dragons of the Heavenly Saint Level.

At that moment, Ye Chen still hadn't exhausted his physical strength. He had a boundless force at his disposal.

In this area where Heavenly Saint Level Gray Winged Dragons gathered, as long as he didn't face an attack by over a hundred, Ye Chen was confident that he could kill about ten in one go.

"The Undying Divine Body is indeed powerful. To think that just a month of cultivation could increase my strength so much!" Ye Chen marveled to himself.

Only in a real battle did Ye Chen truly sense the current extent of his physical power.

Ye Chen understood even better now; it was probably his previous cultivation of the basic 810 forms of the Icebound Divine Body that had enabled his second Divine Body—the Undying Divine Body—to make such great progress!

"Such a pity, such a pity..."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, "I still have much more physical combat power, but the shame is, the Tongming Mirror can only be used for an hour before the invisibility completely ends, and it can only be used again the following day."

The reason Ye Chen stopped was that the invisibility time of the Tongming Mirror was nearly at its end.

Once the Tongming Mirror's invisibility time ended, being exposed here would definitely attract the attack of countless Gray Winged Dragons!

Although Ye Chen had one more card up his sleeve that he could use, which was to escape with the help of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, doing so would undoubtedly alert these Gray Winged Dragons, and it would probably be impossible to quietly kill them while collecting the dragon corpses and harvesting the Dragon Blood afterward.

These Gray Winged Dragons might not be highly intelligent, but their instinct for killing and alertness were just as present.

Ye Chen would not take this risk before he had collected enough Dragon Blood!

"Since the invisibility time is almost over, it's better to start collecting the Dragon Heart Grass!"

"Don't wait until these Gray Winged Dragons have snatched away all the Dragon Blood Grass, leaving none of the Dragon Heart Grass."

With that thought, Ye Chen, still cloaked in invisibility, caused a stalk of Dragon Heart Grass to disappear every time he passed by one.

In a moment, no less than 120 stalks of Dragon Heart Grass vanished from the massive pit, all ending up on Ye Chen.

120 stalks of Dragon Heart Grass accounted for a large portion of the several hundred stalks in the massive pit.

The sudden disappearance of these Dragon Heart Grass drew the attention of countless Gray Winged Dragons flying in the sky outside the enormous pit. However, no matter how they observed, they could not see that it was the invisible Ye Chen who had taken the Dragon Heart Grass.

After the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Ye Chen flew out of the first gathering area of the Gray Winged Dragons and arrived in a safe zone outside.

Soon after, the light of invisibility from the Tongming Mirror completely vanished and entered its dormant state.

Ye Chen, looking at the 120 stalks of fiery red, dragon-shaped, peculiar spiritual grass—Dragon Heart Grass—in the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, and the surging Dragon Blood that the nine Icebound Guardians had collected, now looking like a small lake, nodded in satisfaction.

"Rest up for a bit, and continue the battle tomorrow."

"After I've collected enough Dragon Blood, I can start to go all out, quickly kill Gray Winged Dragons and accumulate points for the assessment!"

Muttering to himself, Ye Chen sat down to cultivate.

The next day, Ye Chen used the same method and killed another 46 Gray Winged Dragons.

On the third day, just over half an hour had passed, and Ye Chen had already killed 29 Gray Winged Dragons.

In a little over two days, Ye Chen had killed a total of 113 Gray Winged Dragons!

113 Gray Winged Dragons of the Heavenly Saint Level. Previously, with just the basic 810 forms of the Icebound Divine Body, Ye Chen could not have reached such a level of combat power. Now, with the addition of the power of the Undying Divine Body, Ye Chen had achieved this great feat using just his physical prowess alone.

Now, he had met the requirement to collect enough Dragon Blood.

He had also achieved the basic threshold to enter the second cultivation site—slaying one hundred True Dragons.

"But it's still not enough."

Ye Chen's gaze shifted towards the central area, where after a little over two days, Dragon Heart Grass in the many enormous pits had greatly diminished, and then he looked at the Spirit Light Child who was using the Dragon Heart Grass in his storage ring, the Heaven Spirit Ring, to purify the lake of Dragon Blood for him.

"Now that I've collected enough Dragon Heart Grass and Dragon Blood, it's time to go all out and accumulate assessment points. I want to see how many Gray Winged Dragons I can kill when I put my full effort into battle."

"Have a good spree of killing, even if these Gray Winged Dragons become alert and band together defensively afterward, I can move on to further regions like the 'Ironclad War Dragon' and 'Five-Clawed Azure Dragon' areas to hunt!"

Although 113 Gray Winged Dragons were enough to meet the requirements to enter the second cultivation site, Ye Chen was naturally not satisfied.

Not to mention his bet with Tian Li or the competition with the Little Provincial Princess for the second position on the Extreme Heaven Spirit List.

Just the fact that the assessment points could continue to be accumulated for later use meant that Ye Chen, in this first assessment area, would strive to obtain as many points as possible.

Whoosh.

Ye Chen flew into a valley where about forty to fifty Gray Winged Dragons were gathered. He no longer hid his form, put away the Tongming Mirror, and revealed himself.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As soon as Ye Chen appeared, the Gray Winged Dragons in this valley immediately spotted him, and their instinctual killing nature made them pounce on Ye Chen instantaneously.

At the same time, the howling of these Gray Winged Dragons alerted even more—a few hundred to a thousand—Gray Winged Dragons that were further away.

Those hundreds to thousands of Gray Winged Dragons roared furiously, and like a blanket blanketing the sky, they rushed toward Ye Chen.

The real slaughter had begun!
