Chapter 3930: Chapter 3930: Astonishing Bloodline Opportunity (First Update)
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took in everything before him, and an involuntary faint smile appeared on his face.
The five-colored phoenix shadow flashed and sank into Xiao Rou’s body. Xiao Rou, who had kept her eyes tightly shut all this time, finally opened them again. After gaining the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, an incomparably noble aura radiated from her entire being, and even her features underwent subtle changes. She had already been very delicate and pretty before; now she had become breathtakingly beautiful!
Looking at Xiao Rou, a hint of amazement flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. This time, Xiao Rou had been captured by the Jidu Divine Sovereign, and then, due to the descent of the Heavenly Demon, her bloodline awakened. It could be said she had turned misfortune into blessing. With the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline, not only would Xiao Rou’s strength greatly increase, but her Martial Arts Talent would also be vastly enhanced. As long as nothing unexpected happened, she would inevitably step into the Primordial Origin Realm with time.
At the same time, Ye Chen’s wariness toward that Heavenly Demon grew even heavier. To casually cause another’s bloodline to undergo Ancestral Return—what kind of heaven-defying power was that?
If he ran into Senior Ren again, he would really have to ask.
A being like that, most likely only Senior Ren would know its origin.
Confusion surfaced in Xiao Rou’s beautiful eyes, but the moment she saw Ye Chen, her expression turned incomparably horrified. With a cry of alarm, she was about to flee into the distance.
Ye Chen was slightly taken aback, then spoke with a wry smile, "Xiao Rou, it’s me."
She must have mistaken him for the Heavenly Demon.
Hearing this, Xiao Rou cautiously turned around and sized Ye Chen up from head to toe.
Only after sensing Ye Chen’s division of realms and that familiar aura did she let out a small breath. That Heavenly Demon was too terrifying; it had already left a psychological shadow in her heart.
But very soon, Xiao Rou noticed her own changes. A look of surprise blossomed on her pretty face as she said, "Ye Chen, I... this is..."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Your Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline has successfully awakened."
Brilliant light flickered endlessly in Xiao Rou’s beautiful eyes, but very soon that joy completely faded. With some worry, she said, "Ye Chen... that existence who claimed to be the Demon Ancestor, in the end it was..."
Being targeted by such a thing, one could well imagine the pressure Ye Chen was bearing.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "It’s fine. That guy has to lie low for a while."
Then Ye Chen said, "Xiao Rou, everything is over for now, and the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion won’t trouble you for the time being. I still have important matters to deal with. You should hurry back to the Dark Domain."
Now that Xiao Rou had awakened the Heavenly Wind Bloodline, her speed of escape had increased greatly; the Jidu Divine Sovereign had already been defeated by him, and the Heavenly Imperial Pavilion likely had yet to discover anything amiss. At this point, Xiao Rou returning alone to the Dark Domain should not pose much danger.
This trip to the Chenyue Sea would be incomparably dangerous; even he could not guarantee his own safety, so he naturally would not bring Xiao Rou along.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Xiao Rou’s pretty face, but she quickly nodded. She had now awakened the Heavenly Wind Bloodline, possessing strength on par with a middle-stage Qiankun Realm existence, yet if she wanted to remain at Ye Chen’s side, it was still not quite enough.
The next instant, Xiao Rou turned into a streak of five-colored radiance and vanished in a flash.
After Xiao Rou left, Ye Chen also continued on his way toward the Chenyue Sea.
This place was already not far from the entrance to the Chenyue Sea. Before long, Ye Chen arrived before a boundless expanse of ocean.
The weakened Xuan Han Yu said, "Any farther and you’ll be entering the Chenyue Sea. Now, take out the Jidu Divine Sovereign’s corpse."
Ye Chen took out the jade bottle. With a flash of light at the mouth of the bottle, the Jidu Divine Sovereign’s corpse appeared before him.
Xuan Han Yu said, "What I’m passing on to you now is a Left Dao Illusion Technique. First, put on the Thousand Illusion Jade Mask you obtained in the Dark Domain, then perform the seals as I instruct."
At these words, Ye Chen put on the Jade Mask, slit his fingertip, and drew several crimson talismans in the Void. The talismans flashed and landed on the Jidu Divine Sovereign’s corpse.
With a wave of Ye Chen’s hand, several pieces of wood engraved all over with dense runes were planted around the Jidu Divine Sovereign, forming a circle. With a flick of his finger, Mystic Flames fell onto the wood, igniting in a blazing roar.
He silently recited the mnemonic, and surging spiritual energy howled forth. The Flames on the wood burned ever more fiercely, and the corpse within the circle gradually began undergoing some strange transformation!
The Jidu Divine Sovereign’s skin grew ever redder, as if fresh blood was about to seep out. At this moment, the Blood Runes on his body suddenly shone brilliantly, and the blood within his corpse surged into the runes like Fei Mo drawn to fire.
Half an hour later, the entire body had turned pale and shriveled. Those talismans drawn with Ye Chen’s blood slowly floated up and hovered in the air.
With a wave of Ye Chen’s hand, the Flames were extinguished, and those runes merged into Ye Chen’s body. In that instant, Ye Chen’s aura underwent a subtle, indescribable change and very quickly became identical to that of the Jidu Divine Sovereign!
The corpse, meanwhile, crumbled into powder.
Light flashed across the Thousand Illusion Jade Mask, and Ye Chen’s appearance transformed into that of the Jidu Divine Sovereign.
Ye Chen released his divine soul, sensing his own aura, and could not help but smile faintly.
However, he soon frowned slightly and said, "It’s a pity this secret technique can’t imitate the Cultivation Aura. Looks like I’ll have to use the Annihilation Spirit Stone to conceal it."
With a twist of his wrist, Ye Chen put on the Annihilation Spirit Stone. Once this Annihilation Spirit Stone left the Dark Domain, its effectiveness would slowly diminish; in the Bright Territory, it could only be considered a consumable item. Still, Ye Chen’s supply of Annihilation Spirit Stones was far from lacking.
The next moment, Ye Chen’s figure shot into the air as he flew toward that stretch of sea.
Holding the jade token that emanated Moonlight, he cast a seal. The sea winds and waves surged; a great wave arose and swept Ye Chen into it. The next instant, Ye Chen’s figure vanished from where he had been.
After a bout of dizziness, Ye Chen found himself on a strange sea island. Beyond the island stretched a boundless ocean as far as the eye could see, and within this sea region were countless Immortal Islands. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this entire sea area was astonishing to the extreme!
At this time, two men clad in silver-white armor walked toward Ye Chen. These two were clearly both Qiankun Realm existences!
Their divine souls swept over him and, discovering they could not see through the Jidu Divine Sovereign’s level of cultivation, both revealed slightly odd expressions. However, they did not probe further and instead smiled as they said to the Jidu Divine Sovereign, "Jidu Divine Sovereign, this way, please."
Clearly, the two were not unfamiliar with the Jidu Divine Sovereign.
Xuan Han Yu’s weak voice rang in Ye Chen’s mind, "Judging from their attire, this sea region should be the West Sea among the Four Outer Seas. Go with them. This island is the Guiding Land of the Chenyue Sea and does not yet count as truly entering the Chenyue Sea. To pass through, you must first clear this guiding inspection."
Following the two men, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked Xuan Han Yu, "Four Outer Seas? So there’s also an Inner Sea?"
Xuan Han Yu said, "Correct. Altogether, the Five-Colored Moon Sea is divided into inner and outer. The Four Outer Seas, named after the four directions, are the East, West, South, and North Seas, while the Inner Sea is named after the five colors: red, blue, yellow, white, and black. The martial arts of the Inner Sea far surpass those of the Outer Seas, and each sea region has its own relative strength and weakness."
