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

Page 33

However, perhaps due to running out of luck, the search yielded nothing for most of the day...

Ye Chen stood at the edge of the mist, frowning in thought.

"It seems there aren't many of these special behemoths. Should we venture deeper into the valley to take a look..."

This made him hesitate slightly.

After all, the strength of those two giant beasts was already comparable to that of a Dou Huang expert. If this valley really is, as he suspected, the lair of those giant beasts, then there are likely to be even more powerful beings there...

"Fine, I have to go and see for myself..." Ye Chen felt he was being indecisive.

However, he can rest for now, and he feels that his fighting spirit is abundant, so it's time for him to break through.

This is the greatest benefit that the Star Chart brings to Ye Chen.

Although the Star Chart only improves some basic attributes and cannot possibly give his overall strength an explosive boost, it is precisely these improved basic attributes that make him a monstrous genius in everyone's eyes!

Possessing a combined Essence and Qi attribute value of 100, Ye Chen's inherited physical strength allows him to quickly adapt to the effects of his rapid power increase, solidifying his foundation. Furthermore, his conversion speed of Battle Qi is terrifying, even reaching a point where it can accelerate the cultivation of his own techniques…

It was precisely because of this that the hidden dangers he had originally estimated would take two or three years to fully adapt to the rapid improvement brought about by taking the Dragon Essence were quickly eliminated, and he broke through one after another in less than half a year.

"Let's go back to the cave where I rested earlier. After we've rested a bit, we'll venture deeper into this valley to take a look..."

With that, Ye Chen had the little white fox in his arms point the way, leading Hu Tian out of the misty area.

Over the next three days, Ye Chen first broke through his Dou Qi to the Seven-Star Dou Ling level, and then began refining the star power contained within the two meteorite stones day and night...

Unfortunately, perhaps because of its enormous size, Ye Chen found that his refining speed from this giant meteorite was significantly slower.

In three days, less than a third of the star power has been extracted. Wouldn't it take more than half a month to completely extract the star power from these two giant meteorites?

This is not possible!

Even though the food prepared in their storage rings was enough for them to live here for a year, Ye Chen didn't want to waste his time here like this.

Let's collect as many meteorites as possible first. As for refining them, we'll have plenty of time to do that once we're outside!

Having made his decision, Ye Chen immediately put away the meteorite and then led Hu Tian out of the cave...

The two arrived at the entrance of the valley and looked at the lush green forest inside. The environment was obviously more beautiful, but there was no sound around, and it was too quiet.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen said, "Let's go in! Be careful in a bit, and if you notice anything amiss, run out immediately!"

Hu Tian nodded, his hawk-like eyes constantly scanning everything around him.

During their careful infiltration, Ye Chen, who was more sensitive to energy, suddenly noticed...

At this moment, the energy in the valley was much more concentrated than that outside, by a full five or six times!

If one can cultivate in such an environment, even if the techniques are lacking, the speed will definitely not be much slower.

"What a wonderful place! If all the Ye family members could come here to cultivate, the family's strength would definitely increase dramatically within ten years!"

He thought to himself, but in the end, all he could do was sigh.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen's idea was unrealistic simply because of the existence of those giant beasts.

After advancing for about ten miles, they still couldn't see the end of the valley, which made Ye Chen frown: "This valley is quite long..."

But just as he was thinking this, he suddenly realized that the environment in front of him had opened up!

The once dense jungle has disappeared, and what appears before us is like a small grassland, with grass growing more than half a meter high...

More importantly, in the heart of the grassland, more than a dozen giant beasts with wings on their backs and resembling horses were frolicking together.

"how come?!"

Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.

From his previous observations, he concluded that these strange behemoths should be devoid of reason.

When they meet, shouldn't they fight to the death so they can devour each other and improve themselves? But what's going on here?

"Young master, the weeds here are too short; they offer no cover. Should we still go over?" Hu Tian asked with some concern.

Ye Chen also frowned.

With nothing to hide behind, if they go out, they'll definitely be discovered by those pegasus beasts. A great battle will be inevitable then…

If it were just these dozen or so Pegasus, Ye Chen wouldn't be afraid. After all, judging from their size and energy level alone, they should only be at the Dou Wang level. Facing Hu Tian, ​​a Dou Zong, and his own Xinghuo, it wouldn't be difficult for them to take them down.

But Ye Chen didn't know if there were any other stronger beings in the valley. If they caused a commotion and alerted the entire valley, things would get really serious!

After thinking for a while, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Go! Let's be quick and try not to make too much noise. Once we've got it, we'll leave immediately!"

After all, these dozen or so giant beasts were just a dozen or so meteorites, and Ye Chen didn't want to give up so easily.

Moreover, if they retreat after a successful attack, there shouldn't be too much danger. At worst, they can retreat to the misty area; with the psychic white fox around, Ye Chen isn't afraid of getting lost.

Having made up their minds, Ye Chen and Hu Tian exchanged a glance, and then the latter transformed into lightning, rushing hundreds of meters away to the middle of the dozen or so giant flying horse beasts.

It's sizzling!

A sound like electricity cutting through the air rang out, and then Ye Chen saw the head of the nearest Pegasus beast explode and then dissipate...

Seeing Hu Tian, ​​who had already taken the first meteorite, rush to the other side, Ye Chen's expression was also incredibly focused. Silver fire snakes coiled around his hands, and he also charged towards another giant beast.

His strength was far inferior to Hu Tian's, but with the restraint of Xinghuo, although he could not kill with one blow like the latter, the pegasus beast that Ye Chen targeted did not last long in the face of Ye Chen's violent Xinghuo attack...

Chapter Seventy-One: Uprising

Even though Ye Chen and his group tried their best to keep the battle as quiet as possible, the attacked pegasus beasts began to roar one by one, their voices loud enough to shake the surrounding area for thousands of meters.

"Not good! Old Hu, we must finish this quickly!"

The moment he heard the voice, Ye Chen's expression changed drastically.

Meanwhile, less than a kilometer away on the other side of the grassland, deep within, two even more terrifying dragon-like behemoths were resting comfortably...

"Roar~~" "Roar~~"

A series of furious roars instantly startled the two enormous creatures, who had been lying down asleep, awakening them and causing them to abruptly stand up...

These two colossal beasts were tens of meters tall and over a hundred meters long. Their dragon tails were like giant steel whips, and with a gentle flick, they smashed huge cracks into the ground, which was terrifying.

"Roar, roar~~"

Two terrifying behemoths, comparable to seventh-tier magical beasts, exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a furious glint. Then, these two giants strode towards the location of the battle.

It is obvious that these two behemoths not only possess reason, but their intelligence is also absolutely no less than that of humans, making them completely different from those outside the world.

What would it be like if two small, mountain-like creatures started running wildly...?

Just look at the valley that has now crumbled to tell you the truth.

While there are indeed magical beasts larger than them in the outside world, those that have reached that level of strength have generally already transformed into human form. Even those that haven't chosen to transform possess the ability to fly, so it's rare to see them running wildly on the ground.

If we only consider this point, these behemoths are clearly inferior to those true magical beasts.

When Ye Chen and his companion discovered the two enormous beasts, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately felt the urge to turn tail and run away.

"Young Master, hurry!" Hu Tian flashed in front of Ye Chen, ignoring the remaining few Pegasus beasts, and flew directly into the sky.

"Roar~~!"

When the two level-eight velociraptors saw Ye Chen and his companion take flight, and then looked at the Pegasus giant beast on the ground that had been slaughtered down to only a few heads, they immediately raised their heads and roared. The roars were filled with a chilling killing intent, which made Ye Chen's heart tremble.

"Thank goodness, this thing doesn't seem to be able to fly..." Ye Chen thought to himself with relief as he looked at the giant beast on the ground that could only roar at the sky.

But at this moment...

"Roar~~" "Roar~~" "Roar~~" "Roar~~"

Suddenly, a series of beast roars rang out above Ye Chen. The roars rose and fell, and just by listening to the sound, one could tell that there were quite a few of them.

"Above!" Ye Chen, who was suspended in mid-air, looked up in shock and saw huge flying dragon-shaped magical beasts flying over from the white mist above. Each of the flying dragon-shaped magical beasts was seventy or eighty meters long, and its fleshy wings were fifty or sixty meters wide when spread out.

Giant flying dragons appeared and disappeared in the white mist, their sheer number making Ye Chen feel as if he could no longer breathe.

"Holy crap! So many?" Ye Chen exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Hu Tian's expression changed upon seeing this, and he said urgently, "No, there are too many of these things, and each one exudes an aura at the level of a Dou Huang. We will not have an advantage in fighting in the air!"

The most crucial point is that he needs to take care of Ye Chen, who cannot fly. Therefore, even though he is a Dou Zong who can fly, facing so many flying dragons and giant beasts...

Their siege could only end in defeat.

In just a moment, Ye Chen made his decision.

"Let's go down and enter the woods!"

Although the trees on the ground certainly won't stop these guys overhead, they only need to hinder them for a moment to give them time to escape.

"Okay!" Hu Tian immediately agreed, and then he and Ye Chen plummeted downwards.

As for the two giant beasts still on the ground, Hu Tian had already made up his mind. At worst, he would sacrifice himself to block them at the last moment, buying his young master enough time to escape into the dense fog area.

It sounds like a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Once on the ground, Hu Tian unleashed a massive pillar of lightning-infused battle qi with his right palm, momentarily halting the two giant beasts on the ground. He then rushed outwards with Ye Chen.

"Roar~~"

The colossal dragons overhead blotted out the sky, and seeing that the two had actually returned to the ground, they immediately spat out gray energy balls that fell down.

"What the hell! You think you're a tailed beast?!"

Seeing this, Ye Chen scurried away while inwardly cursing.

"Old Hu, hurry up and leave! Don't get entangled with them!"

Seeing that Hu Tian actually wanted to fight the two giant beasts behind him, Ye Chen immediately shouted loudly.

Hu Tian did not stop upon hearing this, but instead said, "Young Master, hurry up! I'll hold them off for now, and we'll catch up with you later!"

Although the two giant beasts were enormous, they were incredibly fast, so Hu Tiancai decided to cover their retreat.

Moreover, the battle here will obviously attract more attention from the sky, reducing the pressure on Ye Chen to escape.

Ye Chen quickly understood Hu Tian's intention, but at this moment he could only flee as fast as he could, otherwise staying behind might become a burden...

Just as the two of them were each plotting their desperate measures, an invisible wave suddenly spread rapidly from the deepest part of the valley, seemingly transcending space and instantly enveloping the entire valley...

"This is……?!"

Upon discovering that they could not control their bodies, Ye Chen and Hu Tian's expressions changed drastically.

"Soul power? How could there be such terrifying soul power!" As an alchemist, Ye Chen was all too familiar with this method. It was simply using powerful soul power to suppress the enemy, thereby causing their soul to stagnate and making them unable to control their body.

But, how is this possible!

From these behemoths, there are meteorite cores containing stellar power, and pure energy that constitutes their bodies. The only thing Ye Chen could not sense was soul power!

It is clear that although these giant beasts possess all the characteristics of living beings, they are not actually living beings, because they do not have their own independent souls!

At this moment, such terrifying soul power suddenly erupted in the valley. Could it be that the mastermind behind these giant beasts is finally about to make a move?

"It seems this Bewildering Array isn't so powerful after all. Someone from the outside world has actually broken in again. That old man was bragging about it to me back then..."

Just as Ye Chen was in shock, a faint voice filled with an ancient aura suddenly rang out in this space. As soon as this voice rang out, Hu Tian's powerful lightning attack instantly collapsed, and the giant beasts that had been attacking in a rage fell silent, lying prostrate on the ground as if welcoming their emperor...

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Terrifying Rabbit

Under the gaze of Ye Chen and the other person, the air in the sky rippled rapidly, and then, a small figure that was completely inconsistent with this domineering entrance appeared silently.

Without any unusual celestial phenomena or even a grand entrance, a rabbit exactly like the wild rabbit Ye Chen had seen most often in his previous life suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

This scene was so bizarre...

However, although it was just a rabbit, Ye Chen had a vague feeling that this whole world couldn't withstand the hop of that tiny rabbit leg...

Seeing the two humans staring at it in disbelief, the gray rabbit clicked its tongue in a human-like manner and shook its head, saying, "You're really causing me trouble. I'd better just kill you..."

One sentence made Ye Chen's eyes widen in fury.

This rabbit is too ruthless; it'll kill someone at the drop of a hat!

However, just as Ye Chen mustered all his strength, protecting himself with silver starlight, and prepared to fight to the death to teach this rabbit a lesson, the other party's pair of small, round, dark eyes suddenly fixed on him, and then revealed a clear look of surprise...

"Huh? This is... the power of stars..."

Seeing that the damned rabbit had stopped, Ye Chen also quickly abandoned his plan to fight desperately and prepared to see what this damned rabbit was planning to do.

Seemingly having discovered Ye Chen's special abilities, the mysterious rabbit in the sky suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chen and said indifferently, "Little human, what's with this stellar power on you?"
