Primordial Star Scripture

This "Green-Eyed Toad" was at least several zhang in size; compared to the normal size of an ordinary toad, it was terrifyingly huge!

What was even more terrifying was its tongue.

As it shot explosively towards Ye Chen, the toad's tongue stabbed straight at him like lightning, resembling a cold gleam shooting through the sky directly targeting Ye Chen's head!

Ye Chen, who had been on alert for this "Green-Eyed Toad," certainly wouldn't let an entity of mere ordinary Nine Tribulations True God Realm hit him. With a light smile, the aura around his body burst forth all at once.

This aura not only made the rapidly shooting tongue of the "Green-Eyed Toad" retract abruptly, but it also made the large monster halt its swiftly moving figure, causing it to flee backward in a flash.

In the end, it vanished without a trace instantly!

Ancient beasts have a natural sensitivity to danger.

This "Green-Eyed Toad" sensed that Ye Chen's aura was powerful enough to kill it, and without engaging Ye Chen in battle, it fled straight away!

This surprised Ye Chen a bit; the "Green-Eyed Toad" was indeed very vigilant.

What Ye Chen didn't know was that it was precisely because of his formidable strength that the "Green-Eyed Toad" was scared away.

Over the years, many people had discovered the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit," but in the end, they were all killed by this "Green-Eyed Toad," and that's why the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit" had remained here until now.

"Alright, now that the 'Green-Eyed Toad' has fled, it's time to take the 'Green Spirit Dragon Fruit.' Xiaojiu, Zhou Yue, there are exactly three fruits, one for each of us."

Having said that, Ye Chen gently caressed the purple plant's fruit with his finger, and the three fruits fell into his palm.

Ye Chen tossed two of the fruits directly to Xiaojiu and Zhou Yue.

"Hehe, as a Soul Beast, I do indeed need this kind of fruit! Ye Chen, I won't stand on ceremony with you!" Xiaojiu chuckled softly, spread her wings to fly, grew a bit larger, and directly grasped the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit" in her claws.

Zhou Yue, who caught the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit," was somewhat incredulous, "Ye Chen... Ye Chen, I can have a share of such a precious thing?!"

Zhou Yue had just heard Xiaojiu say that such a fruit could be auctioned off for a hundred thousand Black Divine Coins apiece!

A hundred thousand Black Divine Coins!

Even if all of the Zhou Family's assets in Fallen Moon City were added up, it wouldn't amount to that much.

Now, such a precious fruit was in her own hands, given to her by Ye Chen, which made Zhou Yue almost unable to believe it.

"It's okay, finder's keepers," Ye Chen said to Zhou Yue with a gentle smile, "Although the fruit is precious, as we move forward, there will be many more opportunities to obtain even more valuable treasures. Don't be shy."

"Mm, thank you, Ye Chen." Seeing that Ye Chen was sincere, Zhou Yue thought for a moment, then smiled and accepted the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit."

Zhou Yue knew that only someone as powerful as Ye Chen could readily give away such things.

Because for such powerful individuals, obtaining these things was as simple as mortals picking peaches.

Ye Chen said there would be more opportunities to obtain precious treasures, and Zhou Yue certainly believed him; Ye Chen had the ability!

"Xiaojiu, how do you eat this fruit? Can you just consume it directly?" Holding the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit" in his hand, Ye Chen examined it and asked Xiaojiu.

Ye Chen noticed that the fruit hadn't emitted any fragrance at first, but after being picked from the plant on which it grew, it was fragrant and tempting, making Ye Chen almost unable to resist devouring it on the spot.

And seeing the lifelike dragon-shaped core inside the translucent flesh of the fruit only added to his amazement.

Xiaojiu was indeed a know-it-all; upon hearing Ye Chen's question, she smiled lightly and said, "With this kind of fruit, both the flesh and the core can be consumed directly, but the core is the truly valuable part. Of course, it's best to use it when breaking through in your cultivation, as the sudden increase in Divine Soul power will make the breakthrough easier."

Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he stopped the impulse to consume it directly.

Breaking through realms?

Ye Chen knew that within the next few months, he would be cultivating within the Life Origin Wheel and might well break through to a new realm!

"I'll consume this treasure when I break through from the late stage of the Heavenly Saint to the True God Realm. After all, I have to have treasures to face the first of the Three Tribulations."

Seeing that Ye Chen hadn't consumed the fruit, Zhou Yue also smiled and said, "I've just cultivated to the Three Tribulations True God not long ago, and the sense of the fourth divine tribulation has yet to arrive, so I'll refrain from using it too. I'll keep it, and in case I need Black Divine Coins in the future, I can sell it directly!"

As she finished speaking, Zhou Yue playfully winked at Ye Chen and giggled lightly.

The young girl's talk of selling it, of course, was just a joke. Such precious fruit sometimes cannot even be bought with Black Divine Coins, so she naturally wouldn't sell it.

And the Zhou Family, about to inherit the treasure of the Ice Snow King, wouldn't be in need of Black Divine Coins.

Just as Ye Chen, Xiaojiu, and Zhou Yue were brimming with smiles from obtaining the three "Green Spirit Dragon Fruits," Ye Chen's brow suddenly furrowed, and Xiaojiu landed directly on his shoulder, looking into the distance.

"What's wrong, Ye Chen?" Zhou Yue noticed the troubled expressions on Ye Chen and Xiaojiu and she was momentarily stunned.

Ye Chen summoned Zhou Yue with a gentle wave of his hand, and the girl stood beside him. Then, just like Xiaojiu, Ye Chen turned his gaze toward a direction in the north.

Just as Zhou Yue settled next to Ye Chen, a series of booming flight sounds filled the air, and she saw five streaks of light shooting towards their location.

Finally, the light faded, revealing the figures of five people.

All five of them were at the Nine Tribulations True God Realm, and the one in the front was a young man with a somewhat sinister face.

As soon as this young man landed, he greedily eyed the three "Green Spirit Dragon Fruits" that Ye Chen, Xiaojiu, and Zhou Yue were holding.

"The Green Spirit Dragon Fruit, it really is the aura from when the Green Spirit Dragon Fruit has appeared!"

"I didn't expect my 'Multi-spirit Treasure Belt' to actually find such treasures!"

After clicking his tongue in admiration, the young man fixed his gaze on the small bird transformed by Ye Chen, Zhou Yue, and Xiaojiu, "One of you is in the late Heavenly Saint stage, and the other at the Three Tribulations True God Realm, yet you managed to obtain Green Spirit Dragon Fruits, you must have some shit luck!"

"Hand over the fruits and get lost!"

With his arms crossed in front of his chest, the young man appeared completely sure of himself, as if he had Ye Chen and the others pegged.

After all, they were five Nine Tribulations True Gods; why would they fear two lower-realm Martial Artists like Ye Chen and Zhou Yue?

Ye Chen's brow also furrowed.

"There was no sign of these people before, but as soon as I picked the fruit, they flew over. Could it be that the aura released by the 'Green Spirit Dragon Fruit' after being picked alerted them?"

Ye Chen shook his head and then looked back at the sinister-faced youth who demanded they hand over the fruit and leave.

"Get lost?" Ye Chen smiled lightly, his palm caressed the air, and he stowed the Green Spirit Dragon Fruit into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant on his person, "You wish."

Xiaojiu also glared at the sinister-faced youth. She blurted out, sucking the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit" from her claw into her stomach in one gulp, and even seemed to savor its deliciousness with a smacking sound, "So fragrant, so fragrant."

Zhou Yue also concealed her "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit" at Ye Chen's silent cue.

Ye Chen and Zhou Yue's actions, coupled with Xiaojiu's direct consumption of the "Green Spirit Dragon Fruit," instantly infuriated the sinister-faced youth before them.

"Good, good, today has really been an eye-opener. Here in the Buried Dragon Mountain Range, there are actually people who dare to disobey our 'Black Dragon Stronghold'!"

"Boy, you and your little bird have successfully angered me. And there's only one outcome for angering me, and that is—death!"

Boom!

As the sinister-faced young man spoke, his aura erupted forth. The immense Nine Tribulations True God aura formed a conical storm that blasted directly towards Ye Chen.

At the same time, the young man leered towards Zhou Yue, "Of course, this girl has some looks; I won't kill her. I'll take her back to the stronghold and enjoy her for a few days before rewarding her to my brothers!"

Seeing the sinister-faced youth make his move, Ye Chen could only shake his head in resignation, but when he heard what he said, Ye Chen's gaze instantly turned icy.

Ye Chen did not say much. Watching the conical storm that the sinister-faced youth had launched, he reached out into the void with a big hand and crushed the terrifying storm in his grasp.

Then, with another grab in the void, Ye Chen directly pulled the sinister-faced youth towards him.

Even as a Nine Tribulations True God, the sinister-faced young man couldn't resist Ye Chen's grip!

This turn of events caused the originally arrogant and sinister countenance of the youth to transform drastically, as he screamed in alarm. The other four Nine Tribulations True Gods, sensing things had gone awry, also attacked Ye Chen at the same time.

Ye Chen waved his sleeve once.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four incoming Nine Tribulations True Gods were blown back hundreds of yards by a tremendous force, slamming against the vast ancient trees of the Buried Dragon Mountain Range, breaking the giant trees upon impact.

The screaming sinister-faced youth was now held in front of Ye Chen by his upside-down grasp, and with a clench of his hand in the air, Ye Chen crushed the lower body of the youth into the void. Then with a flick of his palm, he sent the youth flying hundreds of yards away, to smash into the trees as well.

"Hearing you talk, you've done plenty of evil things, so it's only right to cripple you, so you can't do any more evil deeds!" Ye Chen's voice reached directly into the ears of the five men lying on the ground.

The sin of the sinister-faced youth with the destroyed lower body was already unbearable, and after being smashed so fiercely, he fainted from the pain.

As for the other four, noticing the blood on the sinister-faced youth's lower body, they were all shocked and cried out, "Young master, young master!"

One of the four looked at Ye Chen and said, "Boy, you're dead, definitely dead!"

As he spoke, a signal flare of extreme speed shot up into the sky, releasing a huge blood-colored dragon pattern in the sky!
