Primordial Star Scripture

Having clarified the cause of the incident, all eyes converged on Ye Chen and Yin Qianjue on the Wind and Thunder Platform.

At this moment, Ye Chen also stood up. After bowing to Palace Master Yuan Li, he directly addressed Yin Qianjue, "Yin Qianjue, what else do you have to say?"

Feeling the gaze of countless eyes upon him and hearing Palace Master Yuan Li speak up for Ye Chen, Yin Qianjue's face turned ashen.

He knew that in such a situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to have a chance to live any longer.

However, Yin Qianjue still found it hard to believe that this young man, younger than himself, could have killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint!

Yin Qianjue, the top talent cultivating in the Heavenly Sacred Palace from among the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness, had strength that neared that of an early-stage Heavenly Saint. Such prowess among the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness was absolutely considered genius, and given time, it was possible for him to become the top expert of the ten great Demon Sects.

Now, he was about to be destroyed by the hands of this youth, with no more chances to continue growing stronger!

Yin Qianjue could not believe it, refused to believe it; his plans had failed just like that.

"No, if I'm going to die, I'm dragging you down with me!"

"If I'm to be destroyed by you, Ye Chen, I absolutely cannot let you get off easily!"

Yin Qianjue was already resembling a madman, his eyes blood-red as he looked at Ye Chen, and without saying a word, he suddenly charged toward Ye Chen.

As he charged instantly, Yin Qianjue also forcefully activated all the Rotating Pills in his body, intending to self-destruct, hoping to at least inflict severe injuries on Ye Chen if not kill him!

Boom!

It was almost instant, Yin Qianjue had shot towards Ye Chen, and his Rotating Pills were also igniting and exploding in an instant.

Even though Yin Qianjue wasn't very famous in the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he was, after all, a disciple of the first Holy Temple Tower, and the strongest among all the disciples of the ten great Demon Sects training in the Heavenly Sacred Palace; his strength was exceedingly close to that of an early-stage Heavenly Saint.

This level of strength meant the self-destruction of the Rotating Pill would be significantly amplified, unleashing all the potential and the full might of his body to achieve maximum damage. Such a level of Rotating Pill self-destruction and resulting harm could definitely bring damage that reached the peak of the early-stage Heavenly Saints!

Seeing Yin Qianjue crazed, igniting his Rotating Pills and shooting towards Ye Chen, many disciples from the Southern Territory who had rushed to the Wind and Thunder Platform, as well as those onlooking Heavenly Saints and disciples from the five grand Holy Temple Towers, many exclaimed, "Rotating Pill self-destruction!"

Although they had seen Ye Chen's strength at the Holy Temple Tower, where he had already shown battle power comparable to an early-stage Heavenly Saint, now facing the reckless self-destruction of Yin Qianjue, even Ye Chen might be injured or even die.

In a flash, many turned their electric glances toward Palace Master Yuan Li.

In such a situation, only a powerful expert of Palace Master Yuan Li's level might be able to save Ye Chen!

In an instant, these people saw that Palace Master Yuan Li had no intention to act, and further saw that facing Yin Qianjue's self-destruction, Ye Chen did not show the slightest hint of panic.

"Could this youth withstand such a level of Rotating Pill self-destruction? If that's the case, he must have the battle power of at least a mid-stage Heavenly Saint!"

"He killed Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, does he truly have the battle power of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint?!"

This thought only flashed through their minds for an instant before everyone saw Ye Chen making his move as Yin Qianjue had charged to his front and the Rotating Pills were already igniting and exploding.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantly, a shocking aura surged from Ye Chen's body, an aura so overwhelming that even many mid-stage Heavenly Saints present changed color at its intensity!

This aura also shocked the Mu Yao Palace Master and Skyscraper Palace Master.

Witnessing this aura, both Jiang Yao and Palace Master Yuan Li revealed a hint of a smile.

Jiang Yao and Palace Master Yuan Li, after Ye Chen's return to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, had already learned from Ye Chen about his entrance into the mysterious time-accelerated realm and his significant increase in strength. Seeing Yin Qianjue's venomous last-ditch effort to drag Ye Chen down with him, they knew Ye Chen could handle this crisis!

Meanwhile, Yin Qianjue, who had charged directly at Ye Chen and activated his Rotating Pill self-destruction, had his eyes completely filled with terror.

He finally realized Ye Chen's strength; the aura that Ye Chen was emitting was even stronger than the most powerful techniques known from Feng Lun Heavenly Saint!

"I hate this!"

"To think, I can't even kill this Ye Chen with my self-destruction!"

A moment of regret flashed through Yin Qianjue's mind.

He regretted harboring thoughts of poisoning Ye Chen. Faced with a talent of Ye Chen's caliber, he should have given up long ago. The Southern Territory had never actively invaded the Western Wilderness, and he really had no need to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Ye Chen!

It was because of his mentality aligned with the Western Wilderness Demon Sects, constantly desiring to invade the Southern Territory, always wanting to kill Ye Chen, that he ended up in such a predicament!

At the very last moment, Yin Qianjue had closed his eyes, resigned to his fate that he would die in the self-destruction of his Rotating Pill, no matter what.

At that moment, however, he heard Ye Chen's voice, "Rotating Pill self-destruction, trying to kill me even in your dying moments!"

"In that case, I can't let you die from your Rotating Pill self-destruction. If you're going to die, you will die by my hand!"

Boom!

Ye Chen reached out with his hand into the void, and in an instant, a surge of earth-elemental law power erupted from his body. This power was none other than the earth-elemental divine technique—Earth Returning to Origin Art.

This force instantly sealed the exploding power of the Rotating Pill within Yin Qianjue, not only sealing the power but Yin Qianjue himself!

Ye Chen, while in the Icebound Temple's auxiliary hall, had defeated the nine Icebound Guardians even though his realm was suppressed to the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint. Naturally, his combat power had reached the strong degree of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint.

Even if Yin Qianjue self-destructed, if Ye Chen didn't wish for Yin Qianjue to die in such a manner, then he would not die!

"My God!"

"To seal the self-detonation of the Rotating Pill of a warrior whose power approaches that of an early-stage Heavenly Saint is absolutely a mid-stage Heavenly Saint's maneuver!"

Seeing that Yin Qianjue couldn't even die by self-detonating and was instantly sealed by Ye Chen, many of the disciples from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects were scared out of their wits and turned deathly pale.

At that moment, another clump of Mysterious Blue True Fire appeared in Ye Chen's other hand.

He sealed Yin Qianjue not because he wished to spare him from dying by self-destruction, but that did not mean Ye Chen would spare Yin Qianjue's life. Your journey continues at empire

Ye Chen intended to personally take action, to kill the ringleader who had tried to harm him time and again!

Boom!

As soon as the Mysterious Blue True Fire, known as "Heaven-Devouring True Fire," appeared, it instantly exploded onto the sealed Yin Qianjue. Then, with the divine techniques of fire and earth stirring together, the void was torn apart with a thunderous grind, and Yin Qianjue was ground by the two terrifying divine techniques into nothingness, not even a speck of ash remained!

Yin Qianjue, dead!

Thereafter, Ye Chen waved his sleeve, drew back the earth and fire elemental law power into his body, and stood firm on top of the Wind and Thunder Platform.

Silence.

The silence of death.

In an instant, Ye Chen's lightning-fast moves stunned all the disciples from the Heavenly Sacred Palace and the five great Holy Temple Towers!

Then, after a moment of deadly silence, a tumultuous wave of discussion erupted.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen's gaze went straight to the area where the disciples of the Western Wilderness Demon Sects were. He had noticed this group of Demon Sect disciples who came along with Heavenly Saint Leiming and Yin Qianjue.

Ye Chen raised his voice and said, "Should anyone from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects dare to scheme against the people of the Southern Territory as Yin Qianjue did, I, Ye Chen, will personally kill them!"

After speaking, Ye Chen's figure moved, and he flew directly toward where Palace Master Yuan Li and Jiang Yao stood.

The disciples from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects were completely terrified and paralyzed.

Having witnessed Ye Chen's mid-stage Heavenly Saint level strength, even if Ye Chen hadn't said it outright, they wouldn't dare to provoke those from the Southern Territory again!

"Send a message back, we must hurry and inform the venerable ancestors in the Western Wilderness that the Southern Territory is not to be trifled with anymore. A peerless genius has emerged, and we can no longer provoke the Southern Territory!"

The disciples of the Western Wilderness Demon Sects were completely stunned, while the disciples from the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory who cultivated in the Heavenly Sacred Palace were moved to tears.

They knew that by saying these words and killing Yin Qianjue in such a manner, Ye Chen intended to let everyone know that the Southern Territory was no longer a pushover.

Finally, the Southern Territory had waited for a peerless genius who could make all others fear them!

With Ye Chen around, the entire Southern Territory no longer had to fear an invasion from the Western Wilderness Demon Sects. On the contrary, it was the Western Wilderness who had to be wary of the Southern Territory!

These disciples from the Southern Territory were also eager to send messages to the thirteen countries in the Southern Territory, to tell the martial artists there that the balance of power with the Western Wilderness had been broken. This time, it was their Southern Territory that had truly gained the upper hand!

Looking at the expressions of the disciples from the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, warriors from other regions of the Heavenly Sacred Palace inwardly exclaimed, "With his own power, he changed the balance between two great territories. This is a true genius indeed!"

...

At the deepest part of Heavenly Saint Mountain, in the secluded realm where Palace Master Yuan Li cultivated, next to a lake of ice-blue water that spanned ten thousand meters.

Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, and Palace Master Yuan Li stood by the lakeside.

After dealing with Yin Qianjue, Ye Chen followed Jiang Yao to meet the Mu Lan True God who had crossed realms to find her.

At that moment, ripples gently rose from the ice-blue lake, and the True Phoenix that Ye Chen had previously encountered flew out from the lake.

Next to the True Phoenix stood a woman in a green dress, looking ever so gentle with a faint smile, also looking toward the people by the lake.

"This is Aunt Mu Lan," Jiang Yao softly said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded and looked over at the woman in the green dress, noting her pale complexion which clearly indicated she was injured, and he could not sense her Void Heaven True God aura. Clearly, a being of the Void Heaven True God level was a formidable existence far beyond his ability to perceive.

As she saw Ye Chen look over, the woman in the green dress also smiled and nodded at him. Her voice was as gentle as her appearance, "So this is Ye Chen whom Princess Yao has always talked about. Not bad at all. A young genius indeed. Only sixteen years old but already has the combat power of a mid-stage Heavenly Saint. Not even the young talents of my Divine Phoenix Clan can compare to you."

As she spoke, Mu Lan True God and the True Phoenix instantly arrived at the lakeside.
