Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 298

At this moment, Ye Chen's position should already be on the back side of this ancient star. Unless one goes up to the surface of this star, this position is not visible at all.

In this very place, a small pond, about five meters square, suddenly appeared...

Given the terrifying pressure on this ancient star, what kind of water could exist in such a place? With this curiosity in mind, Ye Chen moved step by step toward the small pool.

As Ye Chen approached, he could clearly feel that the closer he got to the small pool, the denser the primordial star power became. He even saw that above the pool, the rich spiritual energy and primordial star power were merging together under immense pressure, forming a new energy form. The golden liquid in the pool below was the result of this new energy transformation...

"Holy crap! The energy contained in these liquids is equivalent to a thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid!"

If a ninth-grade supreme being were to cultivate using this energy liquid, the probability and speed of breaking through to the Earthly Supreme level would probably increase by more than three times!

"This is really good stuff!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but show a delighted expression.

The small pool of energy liquid in front of him alone was enough for Ye Chen to cultivate all four women—Little Fairy Doctor, Qinglin, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen—to the Earthly Sovereign Realm…

I never expected to have such an unexpected gain during this trip to the Ancient Star Space!

Chapter 508 Destruction and Immortality

Looking at the highly condensed spiritual essence in this small pool, Ye Chen was filled with excitement.

Even experts with the strength of a ninth-grade supreme being dare not easily absorb this spiritual power, because the spiritual power condensed under such extreme conditions is too powerful. Once it enters the body, it may turn the tables and erode one's own spiritual power, resulting in more harm than good.

However, this shortcoming is not a big problem for a Heavenly Sovereign like Ye Chen. He can use his powerful Heavenly Sovereign spiritual power to forcibly tame these spiritual liquids and eliminate their violent aggression.

Ye Chen looked around at the overturned rocks and searched for a long time before finally finding a rock of suitable size. Originally, Ye Chen wanted to use it to make a container, but after trying many methods, he couldn't even pry open a piece of the rock. Just when Ye Chen was about to give up, he suddenly discovered that this Primordial Star Stone had extremely strong spatial properties...

This discovery made Ye Chen's eyes light up. If that's the case, he wouldn't need to open it at all. He could simply use his spatial power to create a storage space inside.

This idea wasn't just Ye Chen's wild speculation. Just think about that star stone that Ye Chen used as a gateway to the Primordial Star Space. Doesn't it contain a vast and boundless star field?

Do it when you think of it...

Ye Chen directly used the special energy formed by combining the surrounding spiritual energy with star power to forge a delicate ring. Then he found a star stone the size of a grain of rice and placed it on the eight-pronged hook on the ring. Thus, a simple storage ring was completed.

Although the starstone on this ring looks dull and not as gorgeous as those rings made of precious crystals, the size of its interior space, as well as the ring's security and sturdiness, are absolutely top-tier in the vast world.

Even a Heavenly Sovereign wouldn't be able to destroy this ring!

Now that the container was ready, Ye Chen no longer hesitated and immediately began to absorb the spiritual essence in the small pool using the new "Star Stone Ring".

What Ye Chen didn't expect was that as the "water" in these small pools decreased, the originally milky white liquid gradually took on a golden glow...

This scene made Ye Chen's eyes twitch, and there was even a hint of excitement in his expression.

"No way, how could something like this appear in this natural environment..."

After all the spiritual liquid in the small pool was absorbed, Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in shock when he saw something below.

At the bottom of the small pool, golden light condensed and formed a golden embryo about one foot in size. The embryo was covered with extremely ancient patterns and pulsated slightly, as if it were alive.

As soon as this item appeared, Ye Chen clearly felt that the dense spiritual energy in the surrounding world seemed to become viscous instantly. Taking a deep breath, even the spiritual energy in his body became more vigorous.

"It's actually the Spirit God Embryo! A form that can only appear when the Spirit God Liquid reaches the perfect level!"

Ye Chen had seen this before; it was the perfect spiritual liquid he had left for Zhu Kun after the fall of Zhu Rong, the supreme earthly being…

Even so, the Perfect Spirit Liquid back then was only the size of a palm. Compared to the one in front of Ye Chen now, the former was at most one-third the size of the latter.

"If Zi'er were to fully absorb this, her strength would probably be comparable to mine when I first went to the White Dragon Continent!"

Although Zi'er is now a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign, Ye Chen clearly understands the vast difference between those at the Great Perfection of Earthly Sovereign after experiencing the Chaos Spiritual Light entering his body.

Just like the Fourth Palace Master who once ruled the Northern Region for the Ancient Heavenly Palace, although he was only at the half-step Heavenly Sovereign level, he was able to perish together with a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse like the Devouring Heaven Evil Emperor, which shows how strong his combat power was!

Suppressing his excitement, Ye Chen carefully manipulated his Star Stone Ring to store the "huge" Spirit God Embryo before letting out a long sigh of relief.

This is understandable for Ye Chen. After all, it is a divine object that can create a top-tier expert in the Great Thousand World. Even the oldest forces in the Great Thousand World would probably go crazy for it.

Having done all this, Ye Chen continued to walk on the surface of the star. With continuous tempering, Ye Chen gradually adapted to the environment, until finally his speed increased, and eventually he was running...

Although the process seemed boring and simple, it greatly improved Ye Chen's physical body, more than doubling the improvement.

"No wonder the records of the Immortal Star God Body state that once mastered, it can withstand Heavenly Sovereign level experts with physical strength alone. The physical requirements for cultivating this body are simply too abnormal!"

[Source Switching App]

Even the five ancient Dharma bodies that still circulate in the world today are absolutely no match for the Immortal Star God Body in this respect!

This tempering process continued for a long time. In the end, Ye Chen even found an ancient star stone the size of a washbasin, held it in his arms, and underwent special weight training...

Only after confirming that he had fully adapted to the immense pressure around him, and even to the omnipresent destructive power, did Ye Chen find a spot and begin to actively contact the pure stellar destructive spiritual light contained within this ancient star, following the method recorded in the Immortal Star God Body.

When an invisible ray of destructive energy was drawn out from within the ancient star and directly entered Ye Chen's spiritual realm, Ye Chen, who was originally sitting cross-legged there, was instantly covered in sweat.

At this moment, it was as if he had entered a huge pool of magma, and an indescribable power was frantically washing over his celestial spirit and body.

Under the onslaught of that power, Ye Chen felt his Celestial Venerable Spiritual Body being melted layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye…

An indescribable, excruciating pain from the depths of his soul surged wildly from his body.

"Roar!"

A silent roar instantly emanated from Ye Chen, and then a colossal Star Warrior rose from Ye Chen's body, standing tens of thousands of feet tall on the surface of the star.

"Wow, it's huge..."

On a stone platform under the starry sky, a gray rabbit, about half the height of a person, was squatting on top of an altar, shading its eyes with its hand as it looked at the nearest star overhead.

In its line of sight, a colossal star giant was standing upside down.

On the surface of the star, the terrifying height of the ancient star, which was not very large in area, combined with its body, looked like an oversized ping-pong paddle.

"This kid is a monster. He actually managed to stay on the surface of that star for so long... I originally thought he was like those others, eroded and weathered into stardust by that terrifying destructive power..."

If Ye Chen were to hear this dead rabbit muttering to itself, he would probably grab it and give it a good beating and interrogation.

It's obvious that from the moment the two met in this ancient star space, this dead rabbit has been hiding a lot about this place.

Throughout the countless ages of this vast universe, the number of people who have had the opportunity to reach this primordial star space is definitely not limited to the Star Emperor and Ye Chen from back then...

Ye Chen is definitely not the only person who meets the requirements for cultivating the Immortal Star God Body.

However, judging from the powerful Dharma bodies circulating in the world today, let alone the Immortal Star God Body, there is not even any information left about the Star Immortal Body, which is quite intriguing.

The only possibility is that these people perished while cultivating the Immortal Star God Body, before they could even make a name for themselves in the world...

If Ye Chen understood these circumstances, although he was unlikely to give up the opportunity to cultivate the Immortal Star God Body, he would at least be somewhat wary. Perhaps he would continue to improve his strength and only come over when he had a more certain opportunity.

Unfortunately, this dead rabbit clearly hid a lot from him, and probably didn't even tell the Star Emperor the truth when he first arrived here...

Without paying attention to these things, Ye Chen's situation was indeed not good at the moment.

The excruciating pain was almost unbearable for Ye Chen. He clenched his teeth, and blood even began to seep from the corners of his mouth.

His trembling body and bloodshot eyes testified to the pain he was enduring, but he could only force himself to endure it, because he knew very well that his Undying Star Body was undergoing a transformation with the help of the power of the destructive spiritual light.

If he cannot bear this pain, it will lead to the failure of the transformation, and then he will truly have nothing left.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen's original Star Undying Body had been completely transformed. The image of his original armor had disappeared, replaced by a star robe made entirely of destructive star power. The ancient god spear and star god eye in his hand had also disappeared, and the star crown on his head had been transformed into an imperial crown.

If Ye Chen was merely a Star God Warrior before, then he is now the emperor of the entire universe, surrounded by countless stars. With every move he makes, he is blessed by immeasurable stars. This power is enough for Ye Chen to suppress Heavenly Sovereigns who are at a higher level than himself.

However, this current Dharma body cannot yet be called an Immortal Star God Body, because the destructive spiritual light contained within an ancient star is not enough to fully condense the immortal origin. Next, Ye Chen needs to continuously travel to other stars to absorb and fuse the destructive spiritual light of each star until he finally gathers 365 ancient stars.

Only after fully integrating the 365 rays of destructive spiritual light will Ye Chen's Immortal Star God Body be completely formed. At that time, this Dharma Body alone will be enough to rival a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign.

As for when the Immortal Star God Body is fully perfected, it is probably not impossible to reach the level of the Nine Ancient Emperors.

Thus, after using the destructive spiritual light contained within the first ancient star to forge the form of the Immortal Star God Body, Ye Chen began to travel continuously between various stars.

He originally thought that once he had fully adapted to the pressure of the first ancient star, the remaining ones would definitely be much easier...

As he expected, Ye Chen discovered that every time he returned to the surface of a star, the suppression he encountered would increase by three points, and the destructive power contained in those stars would gradually increase. After he had experienced the first hundred stars, the pressure and destructive power suddenly increased tenfold!

This sudden change almost caused Ye Chen's painstakingly condensed Star God Body to collapse, and even his own body, which had been tempered and refined over countless trials, was severely injured...

In the following period, Ye Chen spent more time repairing his body and Dharma body than he had experienced with all one hundred stars combined. Only after both were fully healed did he continue to merge with the destructive spiritual light.

Don't underestimate this sudden change. Although Ye Chen successfully passed this hurdle, countless people have been seriously injured or killed by this sudden tenfold boost in the past...

And you'll have to face this challenge twice more!

With one hundred stars, it's ten times; with two hundred stars, it's another ten times; that's a hundred times more than the first star; and then another ten times, that's a thousand times more!

This exponential increase has directly resulted in the fact that, over countless years, not a single trial participant has been able to successfully pass the test of the 365 ancient stars...

No wonder such a powerful Dharma body has no trace of existence in the entire world.

Of course, Ye Chen is the protagonist after all. He not only has a cheat system, but also the protagonist's halo. If he dies, the book will end. So he is destined to be the first person to cultivate this powerful Dharma body.

Above the 365 ancient stars on Earth, amidst a thick fog of stars, a small golden figure sits quietly in the mist.

Around this little golden figure, a terrifying aura of destruction was gradually reaching its peak. Even the Primordial Star Stone, which the Heavenly Sovereign could not originally create a crack in, began to slowly develop cracks under this aura of destruction...

When this destructive aura truly reached its limit, suddenly, an immortal true meaning that was completely opposite to it abruptly emerged and then rapidly grew stronger. One after another, purple-gold divine patterns began to appear on Ye Chen's bones, which made him exude an ancient and enduring true meaning all over his body, as if he was not born from the Dou Qi Continent, but had already existed in this world since the beginning of time.

"So this is true immortality!"

Only by truly coming into contact with the true meaning of immortality can one understand it. This is something that Mu Chen in the original work did not possess, after all, his eternal immortal body came from the Immortal Emperor. Strictly speaking, Mu Chen was merely an inheritor, not a creator.

Although Ye Chen did not know how the Immortal Emperor came into contact with the Immortal True Meaning, one of the strongest rules in the universe, Ye Chen himself relied on the universal truth of the mutual generation of Yin and Yang, using destruction to evolve into immortality, and thus mastered the two fundamental rules of the universe, destruction and immortality, in one fell swoop!

Chapter 589 Ancient Heavenly Palace

Tianluo Continent, Northern Border, Myriad Transformations Star Palace.

Located in the Star Palace of Hundred Battles City, powerful figures gathered. As the largest force in the Northern Realm, the Myriad Transformations Star Palace is the undisputed sole overlord. Within the Northern Realm, many forces, large and small, have submitted to it, and a steady stream of powerful individuals have come to join them, making the Myriad Transformations Star Palace ever stronger.

Of course, to outsiders, this growth is nothing but a joke.

After all, the Northern Boundary is just a corner of the entire Northern Region, and its strength is weak due to the long period of chaos, so the real top forces in the Northern Region would not even give them a second glance.

However, once the Myriad Transformations Star Palace truly unified the Northern Realm, and it was rumored that the Myriad Transformations Star Palace had two Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection experts and several Earthly Sovereign experts in charge, its status naturally changed.

However, this was not all good for them, because the rise of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace naturally brought them into the sights of the three major hegemonic forces in the Northern Region.

"The struggle for supremacy in the Northern Region is extremely brutal. Even for those hegemonic forces, it is not easy to withstand. Each time, they will gather a lot of cannon fodder to help them charge into battle and compete with the other two hegemonic forces." As the most senior Earthly Sovereign present in the Northern Realm, Ancestor Wansheng was introducing some specific information about the Northern Region to Zhukun, Ziyan, and others in the hall.

"The struggle for supremacy in the Northern Region is incredibly brutal. It's a battlefield between three dominant forces. Every battle has wiped out countless forces like ours. If we intervene too easily, I'm afraid..." Liu Tiandao said in a deep voice with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone present understood what he meant.

Although they were very confident in the strength of their mysterious palace master, and moreover, the leaders of the three major powers had not claimed to have reached the Heavenly Sovereign level, the palace master was not present at the moment. If the three major powers were to launch an attack on their Myriad Transformations Star Palace at this time, they would not be able to withstand it.

"We still need to find a way to delay him. As long as the Palace Master returns, not only will we be the overlord of this mere Northern Region, but the entire Tianluo Continent will be under the control of my Myriad Transformations Star Palace!" The Heavenly Serpent Old Monster's eyes flashed with madness, and his words clearly showed extreme confidence in Ye Chen.

This surprised Liu Tiandao and the others. Strictly speaking, the four, including the Heavenly Serpent Old Monster, were the ones who were finally subdued by force. Even if they didn't dare to resist because of Ye Chen's strength, they shouldn't have been more frantic than Liu Tiandao, the sycophant...

But the reality is that among all the powerful Earthly Sovereigns in the Northern Realm, only this Heavenly Serpent Old Monster has reached the point of fanatical devotion to his Palace Master!

Finally, Zhu Kun made the decision, saying, "Everyone, don't worry. Although we can't afford to offend the three overlords of the Northern Region right now, we can still find some trouble to delay them until the Palace Master returns. I've already made arrangements for this. Now, everyone just needs to guard the four directions and work hard to develop the power they have..."

With the Northern Realm unified, they need to devote all their energy to fully realize its potential. If this stage is hindered by other things, it will waste a lot of time for the Myriad Transformations Star Palace. Therefore, long before receiving the news, Zhu Kun had already discussed a solution with Zi'er.

After seeing everyone off, Zhu Kun looked at Zi'er, who was sitting there leisurely, and smiled kindly: "My dear granddaughter, it's up to you now..."

"Hey, look at me!"

The little girl patted her chest, looking like she was taking full responsibility.

With a simple hand seal, the space behind him suddenly shattered, and from within that shattered space, a colossal golden pyramid, tens of thousands of feet tall, emerged.

The massive pyramid was covered with ancient runes, which seemed to be formed from stars. Each flash of the runes would attract a terrifying tide of spiritual energy.

The Starry Sky Demon-Suppressing Tower was one of the eight sacred artifacts of the ancient Heavenly Palace that Zi'er obtained from the Fourth Palace Master.

Of course, its greatest function is to serve as a catalyst to activate the ancient celestial palace hidden in the void...

Indeed, Zhu Kun's method was very simple: to trigger the appearance of the Ancient Heavenly Palace! As a super overlord that once ruled the entire Tianluo Continent, any slight movement by the Ancient Heavenly Palace would definitely attract the attention of everyone in the entire Great Thousand World.

By then, who cares about the three great overlords of the Northern Region? Probably no one will have time to pay attention to their own isolated corner of the Northern Border!

Zhu Kun's plan was indeed very useful.

Just after Zi'er activated the Starry Sky Demon-Suppressing Tower, in the far east of the Tianluo Continent, in a place of extreme cold...

The entire world was shrouded in icy cold, which even ordinary Supreme Realm experts could not withstand. Gale-force winds swept through the world, and if caught in them, anyone below the fifth rank Supreme Realm would be torn to pieces.

In this desolate, frigid land, suddenly, the stars in the sky seemed to brighten. As the last rays of starlight shone down, a crack silently appeared in the starry sky where the starlight swept across...

Through the enormous rift in the starry sky, a vast and ancient aura pierced through time and space, sweeping out across the entire world!
