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

Page 196

Ye Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Compared to the anger of the others in the Pill Tower, Ye Chen was secretly pleased.

The reason he so openly distributed Bodhi seeds to everyone just now, while perhaps intended to curry favor with these parties, was more likely a ploy to lure them in...

To reiterate, the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix wanted to use this opportunity to keep him, the head of the Pill Tower, while he also wanted to use this opportunity to teach these guys a lesson!

"Fairness? Ha, why don't I hear any talk of pursuing fairness in what you're saying..."

Ye Chen said with a playful expression.

Standing next to Hunyu, Jiufeng stepped forward and said to Ye Chen, "President Ye, don't be stubborn. How about this: if you give us ten Bodhi seeds to share equally, we can let this matter drop..."

"Pfft..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the two men with serious expressions, he laughed and said, "Isn't ten a bit too few? After all, there are hundreds of people here, how can ten be enough to go around!"

Jiufeng sneered: "President Ye need not worry about that. At that time, my Heavenly Phoenix Clan and Soul Clan will offer items of considerable value to exchange for these ten Bodhi seeds, and everyone will be able to get a share!"

"I think none of you here would object, would you?"

Jiufeng's gaze swept across the entire room, and everyone nodded in agreement. This was a free benefit, so naturally no one would refuse.

As for whether Ye Chen is willing or not, that depends on whether the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Soul Clan can provide the necessary support!

After hearing Jiu Feng's words, Ye Chen understood what the two were up to. However, he didn't think their approach was particularly clever.

Or rather, the other side didn't think they would back down just because they outnumbered the other side; they were just looking for an excuse to take action...

Or perhaps it's simply a matter of stalling for time...

Looking up, Ye Chen saw that the space suddenly twisted violently, like a prison, sealing everyone inside.

As the space was sealed off, both Jiufeng and Hunyu gave a cold laugh, each taking out a scroll and tearing it apart.

A violent spatial fluctuation emanated from the torn scroll and eventually entered the Soul Jade's body.

"break!"

Hun Yu slashed his hand across the air in front of him, and a spatial rift rapidly spread out, eventually forming a pitch-black spatial passage. From within this passage, a terrifying aura, like a storm, swept out!

Chapter 453 Whose Scheme?

The spatial passage was formed, and everyone present knew what it meant next.

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Soul Clan have actually joined forces..." Xiao Yan's expression changed, and his whole demeanor turned gloomy.

Yao Chen looked at his disciple, who was radiating murderous intent, gently patted his shoulder, and then shook his head slightly.

Similarly, Gu Xun'er's pretty face changed slightly when she was next to Xiao Yan. However, when Gu Qingyang and other powerful members of the Gu clan looked at her, she silently signaled to them not to make any rash moves.

As the little princess of the ancient clan, Gu Xun'er naturally possesses summoning jade slips of powerful members of the ancient clan. Even though the surrounding space has been locked, she still has a way to forcibly tear through the spatial blockade and summon powerful members of the ancient clan to descend.

However, under the current circumstances, she did not want to rashly step forward, as that would only cause the ancient clan to stand abruptly in front of the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix...

Gu Xun'er would never do something like shielding Ye Chen from disaster.

These subtle movements went unnoticed by the members of the Dan Tower, who were all focused on their opponents. As for Ye Chen, he never placed his hopes on anyone else.

Moreover, wasn't this exactly the scene he had been waiting for...?

In that short time, black mist surged within the spatial passage opened by the Soul Jade.

A hunched figure, as withered as bones, slowly appeared in Ye Chen and the others' sight. He wore a black robe, his aged face was extremely dry, his eyes were sunken, and two ghostly flames flickered in his eye sockets, exuding a hint of eeriness.

Upon seeing this person, the expressions of many of the older generation of powerful figures present changed drastically.

Especially people like Elder Yao and Old Ancestor Xiankong couldn't help but take a step back...

"Teacher?!" Xiao Yan was genuinely startled by Yao Lao's reaction and quickly raised his hand to steady him.

Similarly, the powerful Dan Tower experts beside Ancestor Xiankong couldn't help but look at him, seemingly puzzled as to why he was reacting so strongly.

"President, I'm afraid we're in trouble..." Old Ancestor Xiankong's expression was more solemn than ever before. He stared intently at the old man who didn't seem to be alive and said in a hoarse voice.

Ye Chen's heart stirred. Although the other party's aura did not leak out, Ye Chen, whose soul realm had broken through to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, could easily sense the enormous power within the other party's body...

"A two-star Dou Sheng, and he seems to be at a higher level than me, probably in the mid-stage of two stars..."

I just don't know if the other party is from the Soul Palace or the Soul Clan...

At this moment, Elder Xiankong's words reached Ye Chen's ears, causing the latter to turn his head and ask curiously, "Elder Xiankong, did you recognize the other party's identity?"

Ancestor Xiankong nodded slightly and said, "I've met him once. This person is the strongest among the nine Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace..."

"The Great Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace?!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

This can be considered the third-in-command of the Soul Palace. Ye Chen originally thought that the Soul Jade would summon the strong members of the Soul Clan, but he didn't expect that the Soul Palace would make a move in the end.

"It's alright, he's just a two-star Dou Sheng, I can handle him." Seeing that everyone here seemed to be frightened by this Soul Palace Grand Venerable, Ye Chen chuckled and said a word of comfort.

However, just as he finished speaking, Jiu Feng also made a sound.

Inside the spatial wormhole, a violent and domineering aura surged forth. The unique aura of a Dou Sheng instantly made everyone around feel as if a mountain was pressing down on them.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression becoming playful, and he muttered, "Tsk tsk, as expected of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, they really are unrestrained and domineering!"

The one who came from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was an old man in gray robes. What was most striking about him was his hooked nose, which made him look sinister.

"A mid-level Dou Sheng with one star, it should be the Eagle Phoenix among the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes..."

Of course, they couldn't have come alone.

Besides the Great Celestial Venerable, the Soul Palace also had three other members, all of whom were at the Half-Saint level, and one of them was even a high-level Half-Saint. Even by the standards of the Soul Clan, this was considered a grand gesture.

As for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, they are slightly weaker, with one mid-level Half-Saint and three peak Ninth-Rank Dou Zun.

If we add the numerous experts from the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan present, it can be said that the number of top-tier experts completely surpasses that of the Pill Tower, Flower Sect, and Starfall Pavilion.

Even with the addition of the ancient clan members, Ye Chen and his group are still at a disadvantage on paper without reinforcements.

Of course, the key is whether Ye Chen, the president of the Pill Tower, can withstand the two Dou Sheng opponents...

If we can't stop it, then everything will be over.

Even a high-level half-saint would have little power to resist a true fighting saint. So don't be fooled by the fact that there are quite a few strong people on the Pill Tower's side. Even if it were just Eagle Phoenix alone, she would be enough to slaughter them!

"Guild Master, what should we do?" Everyone in the Dan Tower looked anxious, placing all their hopes on Ye Chen.

With a light smile, Ye Chen glanced at the somewhat flustered crowd and said calmly, "What do you mean, what should we do? Although the enemy has many strong members, does that mean our Three Sects Alliance is weak?"

As for those two old bastards you're worried about, don't worry, leave them to me..."

"Heh, quite confident for such a young age." A hoarse, aged voice came, and the Soul Palace Grand Venerable's ghostly eyes had already looked over.

"It seems you have indeed obtained the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Such a young two-star Dou Sheng, even in the Soul Clan, would be worthy of being cultivated as a seed..."

"Hmph! So what if your strength has increased? You're just an ordinary person, what are you anyway! Boy, hand over everything you got from the Bodhi Tree, and maybe you'll still have a chance to live today..." Eagle Phoenix's cold and domineering voice rang out.

Although he was only a one-star Dou Sheng, he was confident that he could deal with even a two-star Dou Sheng, given that his bloodline power was infinitely close to that of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix. Moreover, he was not the only one with the combat power of a two-star Dou Sheng here...

With the two working together, Eagle Phoenix had no idea that the Dan Tower president, who had been stirring up trouble in Zhongzhou recently, had any chance of turning the tables.

"Don't think that just because you've been lucky enough to reach the Dou Sheng level, you can really roam the Dou Qi Continent unchallenged. In the eyes of true powerhouses, you are nothing!"

In times without heroes, even a nobody can rise to fame!

This is what Eagle Phoenix wanted to convey...

"Heh, a bunch of impure-blooded mongrels, look at what you're capable of... How much of the glory of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix have you inherited?!" Ye Chen looked at the Eagle Phoenix with disdain, his calm voice directly provoking the anger in the other party's chest.

"You bastard, how dare you bully me like this?! When I was dominating the Dou Qi Continent, your mother wasn't even born yet!" Upon hearing Ye Chen's undisguised contemptuous words, the Eagle Phoenix's eyes flashed with ferocity, and its surging Dou Qi erupted like a storm.

Chapter 454 One Against Two

Well, that statement left Ye Chen somewhat speechless.

After all, when this old, scruffy bird was traveling the Dou Qi Continent, let alone Ye Chen's mother, the Ye family probably didn't even exist yet...

"Tch... You're quite proud of yourself? After living for so many years, your strength is still inferior to someone like me who's not even thirty years old. I think you've wasted your entire thousand years of life!"

"you……?!"

These words almost made Eagle Phoenix turn into a phoenix in anger; it was practically spitting fire from its head!

Seeing Eagle Phoenix's behavior, the Grand Celestial Venerable of the Soul Palace cursed him inwardly as a "fool," but he still had to speak up and say, "Alright, Eagle Phoenix. Don't waste your breath arguing with this brat. Once we catch him, I'll extract his soul and torture him properly..."

The Great Celestial Venerable's words carried an endless chill...

The soul power of a ninth-grade alchemist at the Dou Sheng level is probably equivalent to that of a million ordinary souls...

Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Ye Chen lost interest in provoking the scruffy bird any further. He glanced at the powerful figures from the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan around him, then turned to Cai Die and the others not far away and smiled, "The rest of you are my responsibility..."

Although the opposing side has a considerable number of strong individuals, Cai Die, Trap Ancestor, and Yao Chen are all high-level semi-saints on our side, and they will not be weaker than their opponents in a real fight.

“Leave it to us…” Cai Die nodded heavily, her pretty face full of solemnity. “However, you must also be careful. The real deciding factor in this war is not on our side…”

Everyone present knew that to win this battle, everything depended on the fight between Ye Chen and the three from the Soul Palace: the Great Celestial Venerable and the Eagle Phoenix.

If Ye Chen can defeat the two opponents in a one-against-two situation, or even hold them off, then they can successfully overcome this crisis.

But if Ye Chen loses, or is even just suppressed, then they will be in trouble this time!

Seeing this, the Great Celestial Venerable opposite did not hesitate any longer and directly attacked Ye Chen...

His eyes flashed slightly coldly, and his hand suddenly formed a hand seal from his sleeve.

"Chichi!"

As soon as the hand seal was completed, the space around Ye Chen rippled, and then many white shadows flashed into his eyes. He saw that the surrounding void space suddenly transformed into countless sharp white bones, which shot towards him with lightning speed.

"little tricks."

Faced with the lightning-fast attack of the bone spikes, Ye Chen smiled, waved his sleeve, and a powerful flame erupted from his body, the terrifying temperature melting the bone spikes almost instantly.

This scene did not surprise the Great Celestial Venerable, after all, the other party was at the same realm as him, and their strength should not be too different.

"The Bone King splits the sky!"

The bone spurs had barely dissipated when the Great Celestial Venerable's even stronger attack, which he had prepared long ago, arrived.

With a cold shout, Ye Chen immediately saw the space above his head ripple rapidly. A huge bone knife, exuding a strange aura, tore through the void and slashed down at Ye Chen's head.

"stop!"

As the strange bone knife swung down, a peculiar wave immediately spread out from it, flying towards Ye Chen with lightning speed.

"Huh? Interesting, it's a soul attack..."

Feeling the strange fluctuations, Ye Chen was slightly surprised.

& nbs

He hadn't expected that this Great Celestial Venerable would actually know how to use soul attacks.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the clash of soul powers, even within the entire Soul Clan, there are probably only a few that Ye Chen can be wary of!

Now, a mere two-star Dou Sheng is using soul attacks right in front of me? It's simply...

court death!

Without any skill, Ye Chen's soul power surged forth from between his eyebrows, eventually transforming into a fist without any fancy moves. It directly collided with the soul fluctuations emanating from the bone knife, and both were ultimately annihilated.

Seeing the soul fluctuations so easily shattered by Ye Chen, the Great Celestial Venerable frowned, then his figure flashed, appearing beneath the massive bone blade that was a hundred feet in size in the sky...

Black mist surged from his palm, transforming into a giant hand that grabbed the white hilt of the knife. With a cold shout, the bone knife tore through space and instantly reached above Ye Chen's head, carrying an extremely terrifying and sharp aura as it slashed down!

Ye Chen frowned and threw a punch.

"Dragon Bite!"

The raging dragon's massive head reappeared, and terrifying waves of light instantly spread towards the Great Celestial Venerable, completely engulfing this world-destroying attack.

Seeing that his full-force attack had been so easily neutralized by the opponent, a dark look flashed across the Great Celestial Venerable's face, and his ghostly eyes emitted a faint blue light.

Seeing this scene from afar, Eagle Phoenix, who had not yet made a move, darkened his already gloomy expression even further.

"How is this possible? This kid only recently reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng with the help of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, yet he can fight to this extent against a veteran Dou Sheng like the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace...?"

It seems I underestimated them before.
