When they spread the news, everyone, whether they were already at the foot of the mountain or on the road, was in an uproar.
Some hot-tempered powerhouses have even headed straight for Tianmu Mountain, wanting to see if these rats have gotten too big for their britches and think they can challenge the entire Northern Region's forces...
However, when they arrived at the Tianmu Mountains and prepared to climb them, they were completely blocked outside the mountains by a transparent spatial barrier.
"What? This was done by those stinking rats?" An old man at the high-level Dou Zong level looked at this scene and his expression changed immediately.
"Impossible! Don't we know what Jin Shi's abilities are? He doesn't have such abilities. Besides, judging from the strength of this spatial barrier, it's probably from the descendants of a Dou Zun powerhouse..."
Dou Zun? !
These two words directly intimidated most of the powerful individuals.
Of course, some were unwilling to give up and tried to force their way in, but without exception, they were all poisoned by the Little Fairy Doctor's gas and were completely corroded. This change made everyone afraid to act recklessly anymore...
As time passed day by day, the day when the blood pool would appear drew ever closer.
The number of people at the foot of the mountain did not decrease; on the contrary, it increased.
Unfortunately, everyone was blocked at the foot of the mountain, including several disciples of the Four Directions Pavilion.
Meanwhile, at the crater of the mountain peak, a purple cocoon of light, several meters wide, stood there. The purple light on the surface of the cocoon flickered, like the beating of a heart, in a very rhythmic way...
Chapter 297 Enemy of Bloodline
Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family
As the light of the cocoon changes, a subtle fluctuation occurs in the energy of heaven and earth in the crater. At the same time, all that energy is absorbed into the cocoon, making the cocoon's light even brighter.
“Young Master, more and more people are gathering at the foot of the mountain, and it has attracted many powerful figures from the Northern Region. If this continues, it may lead to big trouble.” Hu Tian said to Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, Xian'er will handle things below," Ye Chen said calmly, not taking those so-called strong people to heart.
As the originally scheduled climbing time began, the many young talents who were still blocked outside the mountains finally couldn't stand it anymore.
The powerful figures who had followed also began to join forces to attack the barrier in front of them...
Unfortunately, although they outnumbered each other, their strength was far inferior, and their full-force attack couldn't even shake the barrier in front of them.
However, after such a long period of development, the matter has attracted the attention of truly powerful figures.
After a series of ripples appeared in the sky, an old man dressed in black robes appeared before the spatial barrier.
The old man who suddenly appeared was pale-faced, with a hint of gloom between his brows. His eyes were one black and one white, making him look quite eerie...
His appearance caused an uproar among the knowledgeable people below, who exclaimed, "That's... Venerable Yellow Springs?!"
Indeed, the visitor is none other than the Pavilion Master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, one of the Four Directions Pavilions, the Venerable Yellow Springs!
The moment the name was uttered, all was silent.
The Venerable Yellow Springs and the other three masters of the Four Directions Pavilion are renowned throughout the Central Continent, especially in the most influential Northern Region of the Central Continent...
"Haha, good! I didn't expect even a powerful figure like Venerable Huangquan to come. Let's see how arrogant those guys on the mountain are now, daring to defy the world and occupy this Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool!"
Clearly, the arrival of Venerable Huangquan excited many people below...
Dressed in black with a deathly pale face, Venerable Huangquan carefully examined the spatial barrier in front of him with his clear black and white yin-yang eyes. He sensed that it was only the aura of a one-star Dou Zun and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"A mere one-star Dou Zun is really underestimating my Four Directions Pavilion!"
With a furious roar, Venerable Huangquan's aura surged, and a violent corrosive energy erupted from his body, which he then struck at the spatial barrier with a palm...
Seeing the Yellow Spring Venerable's palm strike coming, Little Fairy Doctor also stepped outside the spatial barrier. Then, the gray aura swirling around her jade hand suddenly surged, and her slender jade fingers pointed at the void, striking the opponent's body with lightning speed.
Faced with the gray mist in Little Fairy Doctor's jade hand, Venerable Yellow Springs' expression changed slightly. When the gray mist swept over, he could clearly feel a chill.
"Oh!"
The violent black energy in the palm of Venerable Huangquan surged out, and then brought with it ripples of spatial power, which slammed hard into Little Fairy Doctor's jade hand!
The two collided, and a dark spatial rift was torn open out of thin air. Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body trembled, while Venerable Yellow Springs had to take two or three steps back before he could regain his footing...
"How can this be?!"
Having regained his footing, Venerable Huangquan's expression was unusually grim.
The opponent's cultivation level was clearly only one star, yet he was actually at a disadvantage when faced with a palm strike from him, a peak two-star Dou Zun.
&
Moreover… Looking at his palm, which had turned completely black, Venerable Huangquan's resolve stirred, and his vast battle qi surged within him, then condensed in his palm. A moment later, a hissing sound rang out, and three thin streams of blood shot out from his palm, emanating a foul stench.
"What kind of poison is this woman holding? It's terrifying!"
It should be noted that the dark battle qi cultivated by Venerable Huangquan itself possesses extremely strong corrosive properties, yet it couldn't even withstand the opponent's gray poisonous gas...
After defeating Venerable Huangquan, Little Fairy Doctor did not pursue him. With a swift movement, she stopped in front of the spatial barrier, looking at him indifferently.
"Who are you to dare trample on the rules set by the many forces in my Northern Region!"
Venerable Huangquan directly asked the question.
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at the other party indifferently and said, "My young master said that the energy from the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool this time belongs to my young master."
The Venerable Yellow Springs almost laughed in anger...
You think this place is yours just because you say it belongs to you? Do you think Zhongzhou is your personal property?
"Who is your young master to dare to speak such arrogant words!" Although Venerable Huangquan was cruel, he was not stupid. When facing an opponent of equal strength, he naturally had to find out the other party's background before speaking.
"Dan Tower, Ye Chen!"
It's still just two simple names.
However, the change in Venerable Huangquan's expression was even greater than that of Jinshi before!
"It's that little devil!"
Well, Ye Chen actually had no idea that he was seen in such a way by the Venerable Yellow Springs...
Or rather, any powerful figure in the Central Plains who knows about the tragic end of the Ice River Valley would regard Ye Chen as the most unapproachable being in the world, a true little devil!
"Hehe, so it was Mr. Ye on the mountain. I was too hasty. In that case, I have no objection to the ownership of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. Farewell!"
Before he could finish speaking, Venerable Huangquan waved his hand and vanished in a streak of black light.
The group of people below, who had been excited about the arrival of the Yellow Springs Venerable, were now utterly dumbfounded, their jaws dropping to the floor...
At the same time, a young man below, also dressed in black and exuding a terrifying aura that made people afraid to approach, changed his expression and then quickly headed away into the distance.
Elsewhere, a woman in flowing colorful robes frowned slightly, her purplish-brown, gem-like eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness…
"Even the Yellow Springs Venerable doesn't dare to provoke them. It seems the people on this mountain are definitely not simple in terms of identity and strength. There's no hope for the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool this time..."
This woman is none other than Feng Qing'er, the personal disciple of Lei Zun Zhe, the master of Feng Lei Pavilion, and is known as Miss Feng!
She also has a hidden identity: she is a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, one of the three major families of magical beasts...
As a member of a top-tier magical beast family, Feng Qing'er felt regretful about missing the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
What truly bothered her was the unsettling aura emanating from the mountaintop. It was as if her very blood contained a deep-seated hostility towards this aura, leaving her with a persistent, inexplicable sense of crisis…
"I'm really curious about the identity of the person up there..."
After hesitating for a long time, Feng Qing'er finally decided to stay and observe secretly to see if she could find out the identity of the person above!
Chapter 298 Zi Yan's Breakthrough
Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family
At the very top of the Tianmu Mountains, a huge, multicolored vortex appeared above the crater. As it slowly rotated, Ye Chen and the others could feel an extremely terrifying and powerful energy surging towards the sky.
"The blood pool is about to appear..."
Seeing this strange change in the sky, Ye Chen's gaze remained calm, and then fell on the huge purple cocoon of light below the vortex.
As energy continues to accumulate, the pulsating rhythm of the light cocoon gradually accelerates, and the rate at which it absorbs energy increases at a visible speed...
"You lot, after the blood pool descends, you can go in and cultivate for a while. It will be beneficial for improving your strength..."
Looking at the three Yao brothers, Ye Chen said calmly.
These words made the three of them's eyes light up. After all, the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool was rumored to be able to help people break through to the Dou Zong realm, which was exactly what they needed right now.
"Master, won't this affect Miss Ziyan?" Although the eldest son of the Yao family was very tempted, he looked at the cocoon of light that his master valued so much and asked cautiously.
Ye Chen chuckled and said, "It's alright, you can continue your cultivation..."
Trying to seize energy from Zi Yan will not be an easy task. Don't be fooled by the fact that the cocoon of light is behaving itself for now; when the final moment arrives, even Hu Tian might not be able to match Zi Yan's speed in plundering the energy of this world!
After explaining things to the three brothers, Ye Chen noticed that his younger sister, Xin Yue, also seemed hesitant to speak, as if she was equally interested in the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool.
Although Ye Xinyue is no match for the Dragon Emperor's cub Zi Yan, Ye Chen has a way to make her immune to the impact of that enormous energy if she wanted to...
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Chen flicked his finger, and two purple-black flames flew out, landing on Xin Yue and Han Yue beside him.
"You two, go down and cultivate for a while too. With the protection of the strange fire I gave you, you don't need to worry about the impact of those energies or the fire poison they contain..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinyue was overjoyed and exclaimed happily, "Thank you, brother!"
As for Han Yue, she felt slightly strange, somewhat surprised that the other party would actually consider her, an outsider...
"Thank you very much, Young Master Ye..." Han Yue said demurely.
Ye Chen smiled gently and said, "It's alright. Xin Yue has benefited greatly from your care during her time in the inner courtyard, so this is just a small way of repaying you. Besides, you and Xin Yue are like sisters, so just call me Brother Ye. 'Young Master' is too formal..."
Ye Chen's gentle smile and mild words made Han Yue's heart tremble slightly. For a moment, she even wondered if he had any special feelings for her.
But when she thought about the gap between them, and the stunningly beautiful woman beside Ye Chen who was behaving intimately with him, Han Yue dismissed her unreliable idea.
However, some things, once they emerge, will quickly take root and sprout, and by then it's too late to stop them.
……
...In the sky, the energy vortex grew larger and larger, and the energy it contained became increasingly terrifying. At a certain moment, its rotation speed finally began to slow down, then the vortex paused slightly, and at its center, a burst of intense light suddenly erupted!
"Oh!"
The sudden burst of intense light almost enveloped the entire Tianmu Mountain Range. At that moment, the thick fog that permeated the mountain range actually thinned out in the light!
The moment the intense light appeared, the energy vortex trembled violently, and then a massive, multicolored energy pillar, tens of meters long, burst forth from the vortex like an energy cannon, its target being the volcano below.
"boom!"
The beam of light moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it crashed into the massive crater. Immediately, a huge shockwave swept out, and the strange rocks around the crater burst open.
Ye Chen emitted an invisible force that completely blocked the shockwave. The crater was now filled with a rich, multicolored light, and an incredibly powerful energy rippled within it.
"Now is the best time to enter the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. Let's set off!" Upon seeing this, Ye Chen said directly to Xin Yue and the other two women, as well as the Yao brothers and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, an undisguised eagerness flashed in the eyes of Xin Yue and the other four. They moved swiftly, each pushing their speed to the limit, transforming into streaks of light and flying towards the crater like lightning.
The area of this Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool is about seven or eight zhang in size. It's not very big, but it can easily accommodate more than a dozen people, let alone the fact that there are only five of them now.
As for the light cocoon that Zi Yan had transformed into, Ye Chen directly used spatial teleportation to put her into the blood pool as well, which increased the speed at which the light cocoon absorbed energy to another level.
As time passed day by day, the five-day energy tide period ended, and the blood pool below reached its peak, overflowing with energy.
Despite being protected by Ye Chen's strange fire, Ye Xinyue and Han Yue were still too weak and had to leave the blood pool early on due to their bodies overflowing with energy...
Although the three Yao brothers were powerful, they only stayed for five days before going ashore.
Although this blood pool training did not allow them to directly break through to the Dou Zong realm as they had imagined, the three of them were still reborn under the cleansing of energy, and both their foundation and cultivation level underwent a certain degree of transformation.
Now, the only thing still in the blood pool is the cocoon of light that Zi Yan has transformed into...
Time continued to move forward, and Hu Tian and the three Yao brothers had already been sent by Ye Chen to help Little Fairy Doctor defend against any further trouble.
At this moment, only Ye Chen, Ye Xinyue, and Han Yue remained on the mountaintop.
"It's been almost a month already, why isn't Ziyan finished yet? Big brother, is something wrong with her?" Xinyue asked with some concern.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, just about to offer some words of comfort, when the entire mountain beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently!
Feeling the sudden tremor, Ye Chen was also taken aback. Then he turned his gaze down and saw that the purple cocoon of light in the center of the blood pool in the volcano was now bursting with a dazzling light!
"Hehe, alright, no need to worry anymore. It seems Ziyan is about to advance..."
Ye Xinyue and Han Yue were also delighted, then nervously looked down at the crater below.
As the intense light emanating from the cocoon grew stronger, a faint cracking sound finally rang out. Immediately afterward, the tiny cracks that had been covering the cocoon burst open, and countless rays of dazzling purple light shot into the sky through the cracks…
Ye Chen clenched his fist, and the surrounding sky instantly froze, suppressing the light.
