Chapter 415 A Manifestation Before the Public
Having received the Grade Nine Treasure Pill, Ye Chen did not descend from the sky. Instead, he looked towards the space not far ahead.
There, the space suddenly began to slowly distort, and thick black mist seeped out from it. At the same time, a voice, indifferent and devoid of any emotion, resounded in the ears of countless people in the square.
"To be able to unleash a high-level Heaven-rank battle technique with the physique of a Dou Zun is quite impressive..."
"This palace?"
Upon hearing the indifferent voice emanating from the distorted space, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed.
Within the entire Soul Palace, could the one who calls himself "this Palace Master" really be that old bastard Soul Extinction, the Palace Master of the Soul Palace?
Dense black mist seeped out from the distorted space, and finally, under everyone's gaze, slowly condensed into a figure completely enveloped in the black mist.
"The Lord of the Soul Palace?"
Xuan Kongzi's shocked gaze was fixed on the figure in black mist. His originally calm aura suddenly changed, and the space around him began to tremble slightly.
"hold head high!"
At the same time, the Fourth Elder of the Little Pill Tower appeared in the shadows. The giant tortoise beneath him, as black as iron, roared to the sky, and a terrifying aura descended upon the entire area. The unique aura of a half-saint spread out, facing off against the black figure opposite him.
"Oh? A peak eighth-tier Iron Rock Tortoise? I didn't expect to see such a rare species these days..."
The black mist rippled slightly, and a faint laugh emanated from it.
Clearly, the newcomer didn't take the experts from the Pill Tower seriously at all.
On the high platform, Yao Chen looked solemnly at the old man riding the tortoise in the sky and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that old fellow to still be alive..."
Xiao Yan, however, was somewhat curious and asked, "Does Teacher know him? He was the one who guided us when we entered the Pill Realm during the Pill Gathering..."
Yao Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's normal. The Pill Realm is a very important place for the Pill Tower, so there will definitely be real experts protecting it."
"As for this old man riding the tortoise, his name should be Turtle Profound Elder. He's an old monster two generations older than me. I originally thought this old thing was already dead..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but grin. Two generations older than his teacher, the Pill Tower really did harbor a group of old monsters!
As for the person in the black mist...
Xuan Kongzi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you the Lord of the Soul Palace?"
At this moment, Xuan Kongzi and the other two giants all arrived in mid-air, facing this mysterious Soul Palace expert together with the Fourth Elder.
Even so, they still felt extremely heavy-hearted because the pressure from the other party was immense!
"Perhaps it would be better to call me the Vice Hall Master."
These words did not bring Xuan Kongzi any relief; instead, his heart sank even further…
How could a deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, and not even in his true form, possess such terrifying strength?
How strong must the true forms of the Soul Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master be?
In comparison, the gap between the top experts of the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace is enormous...
"The deputy hall master of the Soul Hall... Since you dare to trespass into my Pill Tower, then use your true body directly. A soul clone, are you perhaps too cowardly?" Ye Chen's eyes darkened slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.
"Heh, you're the first person to dare speak to me like that..." The figure in the black mist didn't seem angry at Ye Chen's words, but instead chuckled and continued, "So..."
A ninth-grade alchemy grandmaster of that age, you are practically unique, except among those ancient races.
Furthermore, I've heard you can summon a divine dragon at the level of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint). How about I witness it?
After hearing his words, everyone's attention turned to Ye Chen.
Xuan Kongzi was startled and quickly transmitted his voice, "Chen'er, don't be reckless. Although the opponent only sent an avatar, his strength is definitely at the level of a genuine Dou Sheng, which is worlds apart from a Half-Saint!"
Even a high-level half-saint would be completely crushed if he encountered a true fighting saint; the two are simply not comparable.
Ye Chen nodded slightly and glanced at his star chart...
Because he had previously used the Star Domain Technique Heavenly Dragon's Fury, all the star souls in the star palaces of his Dragon Head Star Domain were now dim and without light, and he was unable to use the corresponding Star Domain Techniques and Star Orbit Techniques.
However, he could still use his Dragon Soul True Body, and he had also accumulated over a thousand Star Essence. If needed, he could directly spend a thousand Star Essence to replenish the Star Power of a Star Domain. Therefore, dealing with a soul clone of the Soul Palace Vice Hall Master was more than enough...
"Hehe, since the Vice Hall Master has such an interest, I will naturally accompany him!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands quickly formed a hand seal, and then a dazzling golden light shot into the sky...
"Dragon Soul True Form!"
Roar!
!
The dragon's roar echoed throughout the heavens, bringing back a familiar scene for everyone...
A colossal golden dragon tore through space as it arrived.
However, unlike the previous Heavenly Dragon's Fury, this time the giant dragon emerged entirely from the spatial rift, its ten-thousand-foot-long body stretching across the starry sky, its head slightly lowered, roaring wildly at the Soul Hall's deputy hall master in the black mist...
"Quick! Open the protective shield!"
The terrifying aura of the two Dou Sheng powerhouses plunged the entire Saint Pill City into an abyss.
At Xuan Kongzi's angry shout, dozens of Dan Tower elders, led by the elder council, immediately flew in all directions. Then, a huge golden fire shield slowly rose from all directions and finally converged above everyone's heads, forming a solid protective shield that protected everyone inside.
"A Dragon Clan Battle Saint! It really is a Dragon Clan Battle Saint?!"
As people gazed at the golden dragon in the sky, which seemed to possess a sacred aura, countless people were shouting wildly.
"This Ye Chen can actually summon a Dragon Clan Battle Saint to protect him. No wonder he was able to become a giant in the Pill Tower before he was even thirty!"
At this moment, whether it was a top sect or a major local faction, all those who had previously been jealous of Ye Chen's succession as the president of the Pill Tower had put their previous thoughts behind them.
Such a terrifyingly powerful figure is someone they, a bunch of small fry, probably don't even have the right to be jealous of...
"It really is a ninth-tier dragon..."
The black mist surrounding the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall had dissipated under the golden dragon's might, revealing his original appearance.
However, judging from his current appearance, he didn't seem to care at all; on the contrary, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"However, this golden dragon is probably not the true form of a dragon, but rather an energy aggregate... and it's only at the level of a peak one-star Dou Sheng or a two-star Dou Sheng..."
With the current strength of his clone, he is probably no match for the golden dragon opposite him.
However, this gain was enough; at least he had figured out Ye Chen's trump card...
Chapter 416 The Ruthlessness of the Soul Palace
"Hehe, kid, that's enough for today. I hope you can grow faster, otherwise, this mindless dragon energy clone won't be able to protect you."
If we meet again, I will personally take your soul…
Ye Chen stared coldly at the soul clone of the Soul Hall's vice hall master. Hearing the other party's threatening words, he was too lazy to argue with him any longer. He slowly waved his hand and said, "If you want my soul, you'd better have the ability. I hope you can hide it well, otherwise next time we meet, it won't just be about destroying one of your clones!"
The moment Ye Chen made his gesture, the golden dragon charged directly at him.
Wherever the dragon passed, the surrounding space collapsed with a loud bang. The terrifying power directly tore space apart. At the same time, the Soul Hall Vice Hall Master's clone was instantly reduced to nothingness...
"Heh, what an arrogant brat! I'll be waiting for you, but before that, I hope you'll like the gift my Soul Palace has for you..."
As the clone dissipated, the sinister laughter of the Soul Palace's deputy hall master reached Ye Chen's ears.
"Oh no... the Soul Palace has another trick up its sleeve?!"
At this moment, Ye Chen was greatly alarmed.
Meanwhile, inside the golden protective shield.
Seeing Ye Chen easily defeat Dan Ta and the others, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, from within the sea of people in the square, piercing screams suddenly came from different directions...
Ah!
!
This stunned everyone.
Dozens of spectators suddenly exploded, their bright red blood splattering across the sky, and the pungent smell of blood instantly filled everyone's nostrils.
"Blood River?! You're courting death...!"
"
Xuan Kongzi was furious upon seeing this.
Clearly, those who just died were all victims of Blood River's Great Blood Devouring Technique!
What Xuan Kongzi couldn't understand was how this guy managed to unleash his evil magic without being detected, despite being suppressed by several powerful Dan Tower experts.
Moreover, he had already sealed the opponent's fighting spirit long ago...
Unfortunately, the truth is that not only did Blood River break free from the control of the Pill Tower, but its aura also began to grow wildly. In just a moment, it had already suppressed all the Pill Tower experts!
"This is the gift my Soul Palace gave to the Pill Tower, Old Ghost Xuan Kong, have a good taste..."
"Blood Transformation Technique, Blood Waves Raging to the Heavens!"
The terrifying crimson battle aura shot straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it had already enveloped the entire square...
"You bastard, how dare you!" Xuan Kongzi and the other two, as well as the Fourth Elder, Gui Xuan, all flew into a rage at this moment.
Everyone suddenly understood Blood River's intention: he actually wanted to capture all the hundreds of thousands of people who had come to witness the ceremony...
If they actually succeed, regardless of the impact on Zhongzhou, the Dan Tower will definitely be destroyed!
After all, the person who came to witness the ceremony was killed directly by your Pill Tower. At that time, the entire Central Continent will be the enemy of Pill Tower, and Pill Tower will no longer have the right to stand on the Dou Qi Continent!
Xuan Kongzi and the others tried to stop them, but the Soul Palace and the Blood River were clearly prepared.
At this moment, Xuehe was surrounded by black mist, and his aura had actually reached the level of a Dou Sheng...
Although it was clearly not his own power, with this enhancement, it was absolutely impossible for Danta to stop him quickly given his current strength!
In that critical moment, a beautiful white figure suddenly appeared.
She stretched out a slender, jade-like hand and grasped it from afar towards the River of Blood…
In an instant, space collapsed, and Blood River, who felt he was invincible, was instantly shattered into dust and disappeared into the dark void.
As the sea of blood above their heads dissipated, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a catastrophe.
As for that ethereal white figure that had just appeared, it had vanished without a trace...
Xuan Kongzi's soul power scattered in all directions, but he couldn't find any trace left by the other party.
"Alright, stop looking. That person should have already left..." The Fourth Elder gently dismounted his Xuan Turtle, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Fourth Elder, who was that just now?"
The fact that the opponent was able to kill Xuehe, whose strength had increased dramatically, so easily clearly indicates that he must also be a Dou Sheng powerhouse.
But why would the other party help Danta?
Seeing Xuan Kongzi's puzzled expression, the Fourth Elder shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know either..."
"However, judging from the aura that the other party exuded when they made their move, that person's strength is probably even more terrifying than the Grand Elder's..."
“This…” Xuan Kongzi’s eyes widened, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
In any case, the crisis in Danta has been resolved.
After the protective shield above disappeared, Ye Chen was finally able to enter.
Although he had already discovered the Soul Palace's conspiracy, Ye Chen was unable to enter due to the protective barrier.
However, if the protective barrier were to be broken during the time that the Heavenly Dragon existed, it would be possible, but the battle to protect Saint Pill City would collapse directly, and the elders of the Pill Tower who were in charge of controlling the formation would probably be killed instantly. Therefore, Ye Chen was somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, when he faced the Soul Palace Master's clone, he did not ask the Valley Master of Yin Valley for help, so he left him inside the protective barrier. At the critical moment, the Valley Master intervened and successfully resolved the crisis.
Otherwise, Ye Chen would truly face the dilemma of whether to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the square or protect the dozens of elders of the Pill Tower.
Regardless of which choice he makes, the final result will be a significant loss of strength for the Pill Tower, and he, as the new president of the Pill Tower, will likely be unable to continue in his position...
"Those bastards from the Soul Hall truly deserve to die!"
Such ruthless scheming is something only the Soul Palace would dare to execute so brazenly.
