When they saw Ye Chen again, the two survivors almost burst into tears.
It’s so scary!
However, Ye Chen clearly didn't care much about their feelings or experiences, and directly assigned the two a very domineering task...
"You two will go and rule over the people on the Burning Heaven Continent. This continent now belongs to my Myriad Transformations Star Palace. I welcome them to submit to my Myriad Transformations Star Palace, but if they are unwilling, they must leave this continent within a year..."
The two brothers, Qingmo and Heimu, exchanged a glance, realizing that their master's task was a bit difficult.
You must know that those who can survive on this Burning Heaven Continent are all top-tier beings, many far stronger than them. If they were to simply approach and try to drive them away, they would probably get beaten up...
Of course, neither of them ever considered refusing.
No matter what, this was the first mission their master had given them, and they had to complete it even if it cost them their lives!
Ye Chen naturally wouldn't let the two of them go to their deaths. He channeled his spiritual energy, and two crystal-clear fire jade tokens appeared in his hands.
"With these two tokens, if you encounter an opponent you can't defeat, activate them to unleash three attacks. Even ordinary Spirit-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns would have a hard time blocking them..."
This was merely a pre-arranged tactic for the two of them. Ye Chen believed that after the previous battle, no Heavenly Sovereign would dare to ignore his warning.
The two were overjoyed to receive the Fire Jade Token, quickly put it away, and then took their leave.
After being left alone, Ye Chen first left the Burning Heaven Continent and secretly sneaked into the border of the Demon Realm. He then released his mother-in-law and began his fishing plan.
He then returned to his second space, intending to use the abundant spiritual energy within to break through his cultivation level.
Having experienced several major battles and refined the Ancestral Divine Fire, Ye Chen's spiritual power has now reached the limit of the mid-stage of the Spirit Rank. He only needs to go into seclusion once to break through to the late-stage of the Spirit Rank.
However, Ye Chen did not intend to simply improve his rank by one small step. He planned to try to see if he could directly skip the late stage of the Spirit Rank and advance to the Immortal Rank!
The spiritual energy required for this process will be an enormous amount. Although the size of the Burning Heaven Continent is enough to easily support the energy required for his breakthrough, it may take a very long time.
However, if it were in interstellar space, this wouldn't be a problem.
The Myriad Fire Continent is now stable, and innate beings are constantly emerging. Considering that mobilizing a large amount of spiritual energy might have some impact on those newly born innate beings, Ye Chen chose the second space, which is still devoid of life...
The material plane situation in Space Two is different from that of the Myriad Fire Continent in Space One, because Ye Chen did not directly create a vast and boundless continent here, but rather created 365 life-bearing planets based on those 365 ancient stars...
These 365 planets are arranged in the order of the Zhou Tian Grand Array, with the Sun Star at the center as the energy center. They are generated by rotating according to the number of Zhou Tian, and the spiritual power generated in the entire space is gathered at the position of the Sun Star at the very center.
The planets are ranked according to their proximity to the sun, with higher concentrations of spiritual energy, thus establishing a hierarchy.
The advantage of this is that life forms in this world can travel to more powerful planets in stages according to this hierarchy to improve their strength, reducing the brutal competition faced by ordinary life forms.
This can be considered a little experience gained from the Myriad Fire Continent. After all, in the current Myriad Fire Continent, the strong plunder resources, and the weak can only depend on them. Although countless powerful bloodlines can be born in a short time, it restricts the development of biological diversity.
More importantly, the stars Ye Chen created in the second space also possess some of the characteristics of ancient stars, such as planetary gravity...
The closer a planet is to the sun, the stronger its gravity becomes. This poses an extreme challenge to life on such planets. Only by strengthening one's physical body enough to withstand this gravity can one live freely on them.
Upon entering the next planet, a new kind of tempering begins...
Thus, all life forms that manage to leave this world will possess extremely terrifying physical bodies in the future, which is also a force that cannot be ignored.
At this moment, Ye Chen appeared on the Sun Star at the very center of the plane. After so many years of transformation, the spiritual energy concentration on the Sun Star had reached a terrifying level. Ye Chen even had a faint feeling that the Sun Star might give birth to a terrifying innate demon god in the future...
However, none of that matters now. After briefly sensing the changes on the Sun Star, Ye Chen sat cross-legged above the golden sea of fire.
As the sea of fire scorched, golden spiritual mist was continuously swallowed into Ye Chen's body with each breath. On the surface of his body, ancient purple patterns slowly emerged. These patterns were extremely ancient, giving people a sense of primitiveness, as if they were formed at the beginning of the world.
And so, time slowly passed by...
raging!
Golden flames burned fiercely, and a vast and boundless purple-gold mist surged in and converged into Ye Chen's body.
At this moment, all the celestial bodies that make up the dimensional array are rotating at an extreme speed, and the flow of time in the entire second space seems to be affected by this change, gradually beginning to deviate from the outside world...
This was something Ye Chen hadn't expected; his unintentional action would actually disrupt the time flow that had been balanced between the two realms.
In that case, wouldn't he be able to freely adjust the time ratio between this plane and the outside world?
Of course, even if Ye Chen discovered this approach, he would never do it, because the price he would pay would be extremely high, and it would even directly affect the spacetime rules and world laws of this plane, making it far more harmful than beneficial.
In other words, his consciousness has now entered a state of ignorance and chaos, and he is relying entirely on instinct to accelerate the speed of his own strength improvement, which has led to the current situation.
When Ye Chen wakes up from his cultivation, he'll probably regret it...
And so, time continued.
In the vast world, a month has passed since Ye Chen's great battle with the Black Corpse Demon Emperor.
Over the course of this month, the specific details of this great battle had spread throughout the entire world...
After all, the intervention of a powerful Heavenly Demon Emperor is a significant event for the Great Thousand Worlds.
Surprisingly, even with such a terrifying being's intervention, it caused no harm to the Great Thousand Worlds; in fact, it lost an arm...
This made Ye Chen's reputation even higher throughout the entire Great Thousand World!
Saint Abyss Continent, Great Thousand Tower.
Qin Tian, the chief elder of the Great Thousand Palace and the only Demon King slayer, looked at the other Great Thousand Palace elders around him with a joyful expression and said, "Excellent! I didn't expect that young friend Ye Chen would be so powerful. He killed two Xuan Demon Emperors and several You Demon Emperors in one battle, and even severed the arm of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. If this were in my Great Thousand Tower, this battle would be enough to make him the second Demon King slayer of my Great Thousand Palace!"
It's a pity that the other party is not a demon slayer belonging to the Great Thousand Palace, and judging from his actions, it is unlikely that he will join the Great Thousand Palace, so the idea of "the second demon slayer king" is just talk.
However, after this battle, Ye Chen's reputation and status in the Great Thousand World skyrocketed, making him comparable to the patriarchs and elders of the five ancient clans.
However, Cai Die and Zi Yan, who were originally stationed in Tianluo Continent, were getting restless.
Ye Chen had only said he was going to learn about the specific situation of the Burning Heaven Continent and the information about the Demon Clan before he left, but he didn't expect to fight a Heavenly Demon Emperor as soon as he arrived. How could the two women feel at ease...
"Jinglian, I'll leave this to you for now. Sister Caidie and I are going to find Big Brother..." Ziyan abruptly abandoned the task, leaving it to Jinglian Demon Fire, and prepared to run away.
However, her idea was immediately stopped by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, who said, "Zi'er is currently taking over the Thunder God Palace and preparing to break through to the Heavenly Supreme Realm. How can you, as her mother, abandon these matters? Moreover, the Tianluo Continent is of paramount importance to the master, so it cannot be left unattended."
The Burning Heaven Continent is a land of fire spirits; I can unleash even greater power there, so it's best if I go..."
Zi Yan was speechless after being silenced by the words of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, while Cai Die, after careful consideration, agreed to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire's suggestion.
However, after the Pure Lotus Demon Flame left, both women sped up their work. Whether it was the Tianluo Continent or the Thunder God Palace, they had to complete the integration in the shortest possible time. They couldn't let Ye Chen face that group of dangerous extraterrestrial evil races alone!
Ye Chen, who was cultivating, had no idea what the two women were thinking; otherwise, he would definitely have told them not to overthink things...
After that battle, the forces of the extraterrestrial evil race have now begun to retreat and have completely withdrawn from the Burning Heaven Continent.
After all, they weren't stupid. After Ye Chen killed five Demon Emperors, the strength of the demons on the northern border was greatly reduced. Moreover, the Burning Heaven Continent had a God of Slaughter who could kill the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon Emperor. Unless they were courting death, they would definitely not take the initiative to invade the border again.
On the second space planet, a purple-gold cocoon of light stands tall, entwined with purple-gold mist.
Inside the cocoon of light, a figure sat quietly cross-legged, like a stubborn rock.
At one moment, the figure seemed to tremble slightly, his eyes quivered, and then his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
laugh!
The moment the eyes opened, two beams of purple-gold light shot out, piercing through the light cocoon and traveling hundreds of thousands of feet through the void before gradually dissipating.
The figure opened its mouth and swallowed all the purple-gold mist into its body in one gulp.
The purple-gold mist slowly dissipated, and Ye Chen slowly stood up.
"That's right. After breaking through to the Celestial Grade Heavenly Sovereign, my strength has increased several times over. Now, even if I face those top-tier Heavenly Demon Emperors or late-stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, I have a chance of winning."
In the previous battles, Ye Chen relied more on his terrifying Dharma Body and the powerful divine artifact in his hands. If he were to engage in a war of attrition with a Heavenly Demon Emperor face to face, he would definitely be the one to lose in the end.
Especially someone like the Black Corpse Demon Emperor, who ranks among the top among the extraterrestrial evil races, is actually slightly stronger than Ye Chen in terms of combat power.
After all, they had only destroyed one of the opponent's arms before. Although this would have some impact on the Black Corpse Demon Emperor, it certainly wouldn't be significant.
Perhaps by now the opponent has already repaired their lost arm and their fighting ability hasn't diminished at all...
"Hehe, I wonder if that Black Corpse Demon Emperor, who suffered a loss, will come back in his true form to seek revenge or something. Let me test the true extent of my current combat power..."
After his breakthrough, Ye Chen seemed very confident, as if he couldn't wait to find an opponent of the same level to compete with.
Of course, this idea can only remain a thought.
If he's really at his current level, is it so easy for him to find an opponent of the same level to compete with?
Even if such people truly existed, they would not easily choose to fight upon meeting, because their status and position dictate that their every move would cause unpredictable chain reactions.
】
Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head, abandoning his unreliable idea, and then prepared to leave...
However, when he discovered the current state of the entire Space Two, just as mentioned before, he was immediately heartbroken.
"It actually increased the flow of time by dozens of times! How much of my world's essence must have been consumed to do that!"
What is a month outside is like several years here. No wonder Ye Chen was wondering why his breakthrough was going so smoothly...
After quickly restoring the entire plane to normal, and silently reminding himself several times that he must not make the same mistake again, Ye Chen returned to the Burning Heaven Continent.
As soon as he emerged, he sensed powerful spiritual energy fluctuations coming from hundreds of thousands of miles away. It seemed that there were Heavenly Sovereign level experts fighting...
This made Ye Chen frown, because he could clearly sense that one of the two combatants was actually the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
"Why did Jinglian come to the Burning Heaven Continent, and even fight against someone with the direct combat power of a Heavenly Sovereign? Could it be that something has happened on the Heavenly Luo Continent?"
Thinking of this, Ye Chen felt a little angry. With my current record, who would dare to provoke me in the jungle? Isn't that just asking for death? Thinking this, he disappeared from his spot and reappeared at the edge of the battlefield.
Chapter 612 Qing Yanjing
When Ye Chen arrived at the battlefield, the scene he saw surprised him slightly.
Originally, Ye Chen thought that the person fighting Jing Lian was a powerful expert of the same Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, but when he actually saw the person, it was completely different from what he had imagined.
"A spirit array? And a Grandmaster-level spirit array at that?!"
Spirit array masters have always been extremely rare in the Great Thousand World, let alone those who can reach the Grandmaster level, who are even rarer than Heavenly Sovereigns.
Looking at the great sun floating in the sky in front of her, the sun was so powerful that it could burn the heavens and boil the seas. If it weren't for the fact that Jinglian herself was a different kind of fire emperor and had the ability to control all kinds of fire, even an ordinary early-stage spiritual sovereign would have been defeated by now!
The power of that spirit array was truly terrifying. In Ye Chen's perception, if the power of that great sun were fully unleashed, it would probably be no less destructive than that of a Celestial Supreme.
The only thing currently limiting this great formation is the person controlling it... because that person is actually just a Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign!
To contend with a Heavenly Sovereign while only at the Earthly Sovereign Realm—this is definitely protagonist treatment! Ye Chen couldn't understand when such a terrifying prodigy had appeared in the Great Thousand World, and judging from her appearance, she was a woman...
Ye Chen observed carefully and found that the woman was wearing a beautiful long dress, had a tall figure, gentle eyebrows, and heroic eyes.
One glance reveals her to be an extraordinary woman!
However, no matter what, this woman is only a Sovereign Earthly Being. Although she can fight Jinglian to a draw for a short time by relying on the power of the spirit array, she will eventually be worn down.
Just as the battle between the women was about to be broken, Ye Chen took the initiative to appear and stop Jing Lian from taking drastic measures.
After all, he is a rare master of spirit arrays. If we can subdue him, it would be a great addition to the Myriad Transformations Star Palace.
"Alright, stop..."
Ye Chen's sudden voice made the Pure Lotus Demon Flame stop immediately. The woman who set up the formation breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not remove the formation, watching the former warily.
Ye Chen didn't say anything, just smiled slightly at it, then looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, and the Azure Demon and Black Demon who appeared out of nowhere...
"What happened? Jinglian, what brings you here, and how did you get into a conflict with this woman?"
Before Jinglian could answer, Qingmo stepped forward and said, "Master, let this old servant answer..."
The matter was actually quite simple. It was just that Qingmo and Heimu, after following Ye Chen's orders, drove away the people who were still stranded on the Burning Heaven Continent. Everything was going smoothly at first. Regardless of their strength, everyone obediently chose to leave after hearing what they represented.
But when they encountered this woman, she completely ignored their conversation and even accused Ye Chen of being domineering...
The three started fighting over a disagreement, but little did they know that the woman was so powerful that even the combined forces of the Green Demon and the Black Demon couldn't defeat her.
At the critical moment, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appeared. Because Qingmo and the other person had the Fire Jade Token given by Ye Chen, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame sensed it and intervened to save them.
Needless to say, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, knowing that the two were acting on Ye Chen's orders, naturally wouldn't stand idly by and immediately engaged them in battle...
After listening to Qingmo's explanation, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, saying, "So that's how it is..."
After speaking, he stepped forward and approached the woman. Under her wary gaze, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Miss, you may have misunderstood. The reason I wanted everyone to leave the Burning Heaven Continent is because I previously killed several Demon Emperors of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan and destroyed one of the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's arms. Therefore, they are likely to retaliate during this period..."
"At that time, the Burning Heaven Continent will become a battlefield. If other people are left behind, they may be caught in the crossfire."
The woman frowned slightly upon hearing this, looked at Ye Chen with a suspicious expression, and said, "Are you trying to lie to me? Those two people just now didn't say that!"
"I've heard that the Lord of the Myriad Transformations Star Palace single-handedly fought against several Demon Emperors of the Evil Clan, making him a peerless hero of our Great Thousand World. If people were to find out that such a figure had deceived a mere young woman, it would likely damage the Palace Master's reputation..."
Ye Chen chuckled to himself, surprised that this woman was quite interesting.
"What they said isn't wrong. I've set my sights on the Burning Heaven Continent and plan to establish my power here, so irrelevant people will be driven away. But does this contradict what I said before?"
"..."
