Chapter 980: Crisis
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shi Zun thought to itself, ‘I originally wanted to recover before killing you, but it seems that you’ve chosen to kill yourself instead!’
Ye Chen was in so much pain that his body seemed to be controlled by the liquid in his body. It was impossible for him to spit it out!
“Gather all of the power in your body! Hurry!”
Just as Ye Chen’s consciousness was about to be shattered, a powerful voice exploded in his mind!
Xue Qiye!
Finally, Ye Chen remembered Xue Qiye’s warning and previous words. From his dantian, spiritual energy and true qi flowed out and formed a barrier!
The divine lightning in his body exploded, causing countless bolts of lightning to surround his body.
“Immortal Flames, come out too!”
Ye Chen roared angrily, and his body was wrapped in flames. The flames even seeped into his pores to resist the power of the liquid in his body.
Thanks to this Ye Chen felt much better, and was able to stay awake.
A few minutes later, the young woman beside him opened her eyes and realized that the explosion she had imagined did not happen.
When her gaze fell on Ye Chen, she saw a strange scene.
Divine lightning, flames, true qi, and even the power of body refining all wrapped around Ye Chen’s body. This young man actually controlled four different powers.
“How is that possible?”
The girl’s eyes widened.
Although she had not come into contact with many people, she was still clear about the basic cultivation principles.
Ye Chen’s elemental powers were extraordinary as well.
Divine lightning, Immortal Flames.
“Who is this guy? Is he even more powerful than Senior Sister?”
Before she could compose herself, a dragon’s roar erupted from Ye Chen’s body, and the very next second, a blood dragon emerged from Ye Chen’s body!
The cave began to crumble, and countless boulders and debris fell.
The blood dragon then coiled around him. Its cold eyes stared at Shi Zun and the young woman.
“Dragon Master!”
This time, she could no longer remain calm. This scene reminded her of something her master once said.
“The Dragon Master, Kunlun’s Emperor, Blood Spirit Clan’s Nightmare, Dao of Reincarnation!”
Her master had repeated these words many times.
She did not understand the meaning, but her master had emphasized many times that the reason why she did not leave the Blood Spirit Secret Realm was to wait for this person…
Could it be that the person her master was talking about was Ye Chen?
In her excitement, she wanted to ask Ye Chen, but when she saw Ye Chen’s condition, she stopped in her tracks.
“If you can really survive this, I’ll definitely bring you to see Master!”
The young woman made up her mind.
At this moment, Ye Chen was using all of his strength to resist the violent energy in his body.
Cracks had already appeared on his body, and blood was oozing out. Had it not been for his various powers, he would have died a long time ago.
“Kid, it’s about time. The Stone-Spirit Calabash’s power will enter your sea of consciousness in a while. The rest will depend on your willpower. If you can’t withstand it, it will be very dangerous!”
“Opportunity and danger coexist. If you want to become stronger, this is the only way. Although I said that you can endure it, there’s one thing I didn’t make clear. Your chances of success are only one in a thousand!”
Ye Chen almost cursed when he heard Xue Qiye’s words. One in a thousand!
What was the difference between this and courting death?!
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. Ye Chen could already feel the violent energy rushing into his sea of consciousness.
Time and s.p.a.ce seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Within the darkness, there seemed to be a powerful spiritual will pressing down on Ye Chen like a mountain. That spiritual will was immense and boundless.
Before that spiritual will, Ye Chen felt like he was just a drop in the ocean, and he even had the urge to kneel down and worship the spiritual will.
He knew very well that this was the Stone-Spirit Calabash’s origin power.
He guarded his divine soul and sea of consciousness, but his face was pale and almost devoid of blood.
There was only darkness around him. It was like a bottomless abyss!
Endless spiritual pressure enveloped Ye Chen and he was on the verge of collapse.
“I must leave!”
Ye Chen’s mind was extremely clear. As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of scorching energy came from the depths of the darkness.
Stone-Spirit!
The Stone-Spirit’s terrifying power transformed into a flaming eye that stared at Ye Chen from the darkness.
This made Ye Chen’s hair stand on end.
“Saint king realm? What’s wrong with the outside world of this era? Even a saint king realm trash dares to devour me?”
“Ridiculous!”
The flaming eye instantly turned into a crimson figure that looked down from above. Its eyes were filled with disdain, as if it was looking at an ant!
It came over to Ye Chen and stared at him.
“Why aren’t you kneeling in front of me?”
Just these few words made Ye Chen’s mind tremble.
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the crimson figure. He smiled and said, “Why should I kneel to you? You must be the existence inside the calabash. I’ll consume you. As long as I can endure it, you’re as good as dead. What’s the big deal about the difference in cultivation level?”
Ye Chen’s words made the crimson figure’s eyes narrow. “Interesting viewpoint, ant, but do you think you can handle it?”
“However, your body didn’t crack. It seems that this is what you are relying on. Unfortunately, your soul is different. No matter how strong your body is, your divine soul and sea of consciousness are extremely fragile!”
“If I want them to shatter, they will shatter!”
The crimson figure roared angrily. The entire world’s spiritual pressure seemed to be pressing down on Ye Chen, and he suddenly noticed that a crack had appeared in his sea of consciousness
Once it shattered, his divine soul would be severely injured or destroyed. Even if his physical body was not destroyed, he would essentially become a walking corpse.
“You can’t even withstand a single blow, ant. Your body has tainted me. Since that’s the case, I’ll erase you and make your body my vessel forever!”
Outside, Ye Chen’s mouth and nose were bleeding and his body was trembling.
The blood dragon sensed that something was wrong and roared angrily, but it was useless.
The young woman saw blood oozing out of Ye Chen’s seven orifices and her palms were covered in sweat. Her eyes were filled with worry.
“Could it be that a person who can control a dragon will disappear just like this?”
“Or perhaps, this Ye Chen fellow is not the existence Master mentioned?”
“He is now already half a step into the gates of h.e.l.l. Even if his body doesn’t explode, he’ll definitely die. What a pity.”
At the moment of crisis, Ye Chen’s divine soul suddenly overflowed with rays of light.
The light grew brighter and brighter, covering his entire sea of consciousness.
