Chapter 4013: Chapter 4013: Blazing Fury (Part 1)
At the same time, at Black Cloud Ridge, Ye Chen put away the Rippling Palace. Looking at the deathly silent land and thinking of Xia Ruoxue who had just left, he felt a bit desolate inside.
"Forget it, I’ll go back to Chenyue Sea first."
Ye Chen shook his head, just about to set aside the clutter in his heart, when he suddenly saw the heavens dyed a blazing red, as if the Flames were going to melt everything, violently rushing straight toward him.
"Hm?"
Ye Chen’s gaze flickered. These Flames carried a blasting aura, extremely fierce and domineering, and also contained the breath of Life. He could vaguely see the silhouette of a human—someone was clearly making a move against him on purpose.
"Who are you? Why are you provoking me for no reason!"
Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold. The next instant, the Slaughter Sword appeared in his hand. The irritation from Xia Ruoxue’s departure made the fire in his heart surge up. At this moment the Destruction Divine Dao erupted, violent destructive power sweeping out.
"Boom!"
The Slaughter Sword collided with the Flames, and Ye Chen realized that the person within the Flames possessed a physical body and power that were simply heaven-defying. Even with his Destruction Divine Dao he couldn’t shake him at all. His own five viscera trembled violently, and a cracking sound came from the arm holding the sword—his bones were almost shattered.
"You’ve got some skill, but if this is all you’ve got, it’s not enough!"
The other party’s aura was fierce and menacing, clearly an enemy. Ye Chen was in a foul mood, and right now he only wanted to directly erase this guy shrouded in Flames before him, to vent the anger in his heart.
"Dao Seal..."
Ye Chen gripped the Slaughter Sword. The Dao Seal of the Destruction Divine Dao faintly surfaced. He growled low in his heart and was just about to thrust out a sword when the other party’s words cut him off.
"Big Brother, what are you doing!"
The other party’s voice, amidst excitement, carried a hint of panic, and most importantly, it was extremely familiar.
Ye Chen’s brows lifted. Divine light flashed in his eyes; he instantly saw through the Flames and recognized Yan Kun.
"Brat, how did you end up here? How did you enter the Dark Domain? And since you came to see me, why aren’t you dispersing these Flames?"
Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised, but couldn’t help cursing with a smile. If Yan Kun had shown his true face, he wouldn’t have mistaken him.
"Big Brother, I rushed over to see you and forgot about that."
"As for how I came in, Elder Yong naturally had a way."
Yan Kun chuckled, scratching his head, then his expression turned solemn. "Big Brother, come with me quickly, something urgent."
"Hm?"
Yan Kun’s anxious manner made Ye Chen a little surprised. He was about to ask when Yan Kun directly grabbed his arm. The next instant the Flames soared to the sky, and the two of them smashed through the Void and disappeared.
...
A moment later, the Void above the Eternal Desolate Land shattered. Ye Chen and Yan Kun stepped out together. Seeing the reek of blood, killing intent, and surging battle will filling this world, Ye Chen’s gaze sharpened.
The next instant, Ye Chen felt something stir in his heart and immediately sensed that the blood dragon was also here. He couldn’t help raising his eyes, and saw that among the nearby mountain ranges, the blood dragon was battling three terrifying ferocious beasts whose auras towered into the sky.
Of these three ferocious beasts, one looked like a Nine-Headed Mad Snake, its whole body covered in mottled, dazzling Scale Armor, with a pair of wings growing from its back. Every time the wings flapped, All Heavens trembled.
Another ferocious beast should be the Raging Sun Golden Lion, an Ancient Relics species. Its heaven-defying spiritual root and bloodline were both top-tier existences. Flames blazed all over its body, its ferocity soaring to the heavens.
The last ferocious beast was actually a Demon Qilin. It’s common knowledge that the Qilin is a divine beast of auspicious omen, but few know that there are mutations within the Qilin race. The Demon Qilin is the strongest in combat strength among them and is a Disaster beast. Wherever it appears, Disaster is bound to sweep through and Life will be slaughtered!
The blood dragon Realm was at the Sixth Level of Qiankun Realm, while the other three ferocious beasts were all existences at Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven, their actual combat strength likely exceeding the eighth or ninth-level Daoyuan realm! Moreover, all three had extraordinary Bloodline Talent, and their killing intent and battle intent were both blazing high. One look told they’d clawed their way out of endless slaughter.
Facing opponents like these, even the blood dragon gained no advantage. With his division of realms weaker by a level, he was being brutally suppressed. He was already on the brink of danger, and Ye Chen couldn’t help growing anxious.
The place they were in now seemed to be the interior of a magic treasure, with a barrier separating it from the outside. When Ye Chen tried to go out, that barrier stopped him, so he turned toward the Eternal Sacred King.
"Elder Yong, let me out, the blood dragon can’t hold on!"
Ye Chen looked at the Eternal Sacred King with a solemn expression, his gaze steely firm.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the Nine-Headed Mad Snake seized the chance while the Raging Sun Golden Lion and Demon Qilin were besieging and entangling the blood dragon. Its nine heads gathered together and suddenly spat out a beam of Nine-colored Divine Light.
This divine light bristled with endless Destruction meaning, carrying the Great Power to crush All Heavens, along with a peerlessly sharp, icy chill.
The blood dragon had no time to dodge and was slammed into head-on by the divine light. Even his Dragon scales, as tough as bedrock, were instantly pierced through.
"Pff!"
Struck by this heavy blow, the blood dragon spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. The next instant his eyes went unfocused and he collapsed straight to the ground.
"Elder Yong, let me in, now!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen’s killing intent boiled over completely. His eyes reddened as he glared at the Eternal Sacred King and shouted.
"You cannot."
Right now, the Eternal Sacred King could only look at Ye Chen helplessly, then spoke: "You cannot go to his aid. The power of the world’s laws here does not allow it."
"What kind of bullshit nomological power is that? Am I supposed to just stand here and watch? Just watch the blood dragon be killed by these three beasts of Sin?"
Ye Chen said, rage utterly unrestrained.
"You truly can only watch."
At this moment the Eternal Sacred King looked at Ye Chen with a solemn face and continued: "Haven’t you noticed how quickly the blood dragon Realm has risen?"
"The power of the world’s laws here is like this. It allows one to rapidly grow stronger amid endless battle, and there are no side effects. One’s foundation won’t be unstable due to a division of realms rising too fast, leaving hidden dangers."
The Eternal Sacred King looked at Ye Chen gravely.
"But if there is benefit, naturally there is a price."
"If you want to rise quickly, you must bear the cost behind that rise—that is, one life-and-death battle after another, each with nine chances to die and one to live."
"This battle was chosen by the blood dragon himself. If you intervene, the power of the world’s laws will judge the blood dragon to have violated the rules. Then all the ferocious beasts of this world will charge out and directly crush the two of you to paste!"
"You must understand, besides these three ferocious beasts of Qiankun Realm Seventh Layer Heaven, there are also existences at Qiankun Realm Eighth Layer Heaven, ninth-level Daoyuan realm, and even power stronger by another level!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned. He hadn’t expected this place to be so perilous.
"So you can only watch. Otherwise, if you make a move to help, you’ll be harming him instead." The Eternal Sacred King looked at Ye Chen’s expression and couldn’t help sighing.
"This is also why I had Yan Kun bring you here. We cannot help the blood dragon, but the blood dragon was born because of you—perhaps you can help him in some other way."
At these words, Ye Chen’s face remained expressionless. Unable to strike to assist, even he didn’t know how he could help the blood dragon.
Meanwhile, the blood dragon had already been beaten into unconsciousness, lying prone on the ground by the Nine-Headed Mad Snake and the other two ferocious beasts. The three ferocious beasts weren’t in any hurry to kill him, but instead started to toy with him.
The three ferocious beasts grabbed the blood dragon, hurled him into the air, then slammed him down onto the ground with a roar, treating him like a ball to kick around.
Seeing this, blazing fury ignited in Ye Chen’s heart!
