Primordial Star Scripture

When the Five Great Divine Arts approached their peak concentration, Ye Chen was completely enveloped in an unimaginably powerful aura emanating from the Five Major Virtual Heaven Laws.

This aura skyrocketed to hundreds of feet in height!

As the aura surged, Ye Chen's entire body appeared more formidable than even the Heavenly Wood Puppet, which stood dozens of feet tall!

Boom!

With a single step, Ye Chen caused the void to tremble. Centered on his footstep, endless waves of energy crazily surged towards him within thousands of feet in every direction in this Treasure Cave Heaven and Earth.

Facing the towering Heavenly Wood Puppet, Ye Chen, with his combat power fully unleashed, was in no way weaker in terms of aura; he was even stronger by several measures.

With this step, the void trembled, and with his next movement, Ye Chen instantly shifted through the void, appearing directly in front of the Heavenly Wood Puppet.

Following that, a peerless sword light shot out instantly from the point between Ye Chen's eyebrows, carrying with it the full force of the Five Major Virtual Heaven Laws, and wildly struck towards the Heavenly Wood Puppet.

Crimson Fire Flying Sword!

This was the Crimson Fire Flying Sword that could merge with the five Virtual Heaven Laws of Ye Chen's divine techniques!

In this exceedingly short distance and with the full burst of Ye Chen's combat power, the Heavenly Wood Puppet had no chance to dodge.

And this sentient puppet had no intention of dodging!

"Very well, Treasure Hunter. Your realm may be low, but to possess such power, you are worthy of an all-out battle with me!"

"If you truly manage to kill me, then you are indeed qualified to obtain the treasures left by my master!"

The rolling voice echoed as the green vines covering the wooden body of the Heavenly Wood Puppet suddenly swept out like mad snakes from the heavens, stirring up the entire sky.

In the stirring, a series of spiritual runes began to flicker on these green vines. Amidst the agitation of endless spiritual runes, the Heavenly Wood Puppet's flying sword directly collided with the one sent by Ye Chen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the Heavenly Wood Puppet collided directly with Ye Chen's flying sword.

In a flash, the whole world was filled with the thunderous sound of true qi explosions.

The tremendous waves of true qi spawned by the explosive sounds even submerged Ye Chen, who was controlling the flying sword, and the several-dozen-feet-tall Heavenly Wood Puppet!

And in the next moment, amid the endless waves and the explosive sounds, Ye Chen once again clashed with the Heavenly Wood Puppet.

This was a battle of the late-phase Heavenly Saint level!

One was Ye Chen, who had reached the mid-phase of the Rotating Pill Realm but possessed an unprecedented three hundred ninety-six Five Apertures Rotating Pills within his body and had mastered the Five Great Divine Arts!

The other was the Heavenly Wood Puppet, a sentient, speaking being crafted by a peerless powerhouse, a true late-phase Heavenly Saint level wooden puppet!

When the battle reached its peak, the figures of Ye Chen and the Heavenly Wood Puppet could no longer be seen; all that was visible was the void being torn apart as two figures incessantly clashed and fought between the heavens and the earth!

After dozens of moves, Ye Chen was already covered in the fresh blood of battle.

And the Heavenly Wood Puppet had dozens of its formidable vines completely severed by Ye Chen!

The fight between the two, even after dozens of moves, had yet to determine a victor, as if they were locked in an evenly matched struggle!

Wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and disregarding the many other bloodstains on his body, Ye Chen, who for the first time fought with his own strength against a powerful late-stage Heavenly Saint, was growing more and more courageous, his eyes becoming brighter and clearer!

"Is this the power of a late-stage Heavenly Saint?"

"I, Ye Chen, at the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm, can now contend with this power!"

With surging fighting intent, Ye Chen's three hundred and ninety-six Five Apertures Rotating Pills inside his body rotated even more fiercely, like swallowing and absorbing, and with a deep breath, his depleted qi was fully restored.

Having recovered his qi, Ye Chen did not hesitate and once again engaged in combat with the Heavenly Wood Puppet!

The Heavenly Wood Puppet, crafted from wooden materials, also possessed a hint of sentience and was full of disbelief at this moment, "This youth is so strong, capable of getting stronger as the battle goes on, showing no signs of decline."

"Perhaps, my task of guarding the treasure will end at the hands of this person!"

"If it truly ends at his hands, then I would not have guarded the treasure in vain for my master. In the end, let's fight openly. If he destroys me, I can return to the divine item left in the Ice Fire Divine Cave by my master and be reborn anew!"

Seeing Ye Chen charging at him with no regard for his own safety, the Heavenly Wood Puppet's mind raced as all the green vines on its body burst into flames, and in an instant, this wooden puppet seemingly turned into a burning Fire Wood Puppet!

With a "boom" of flaming combustion, the astonishing firelight from the wooden puppet collided with Ye Chen's towering qi aura once again, and the two resumed their intense battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions of qi in this battle were even louder than the ones before!

The entire sky was completely covered by the light of Ye Chen's Five Great Divine Arts, further enhanced by the terrifying firelight and woodlight of the Heavenly Wood Puppet!

By the thirty-ninth explosive blast, Ye Chen was struck as though by a giant tree, sent flying hundreds of feet away, spewing a mouthful of blood, and landed on the ground.

However, the Heavenly Wood Puppet in the sky did not emerge victorious. At the moment Ye Chen was sent flying, the Heavenly Wood Puppet's wooden body "whoosh whoosh whoosh" simultaneously showed eight cracks.

Then, in an instant, the eight cracks spread all over the body of the Heavenly Wood Puppet, now dozens of feet tall, filling it with countless fissures, and the next moment, all the cracks exploded together, and the entire Heavenly Wood Puppet burst with a loud "bang," shattering into pieces!

In the end, the Puppet's Prime Wood fell from the body of the Heavenly Wood Puppet, and all its energy dissipated into the void, disappearing between heaven and earth.

The appearance of the Puppet's Prime Wood meant that the puppet had been completely destroyed!

The final battle ended with Ye Chen injured and the Heavenly Wood Puppet exploding to death.

Upon witnessing such a tragic scene, the nine Ice Snow Jade Pendant guardians called out in concern, "Lord Ye Chen, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," replied Ye Chen with a light chuckle, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Just as Ye Chen smiled at the nine Ice Snow Jade Pendant guardians and was about to get up and walk towards the small earthen platform, ready to lay his hands on the treasure "Green Spirit Marrow Heart Liquid" of this Treasure Cave Heaven and Earth, suddenly, two earth-shattering whooshing sounds directly targeted and shot towards him.

These two earth-shattering sounds were none other than qi auras of late-stage Heavenly Saint combat power!

Ye Chen's face changed in an instant. Were there others hidden in this treasure cave space? Had they launched an attack on him in the very moment he let down his guard, just after the fierce battle with the Heavenly Wood Puppet when he was injured?

And there were two qi auras of late-stage Heavenly Saint combat power!

What was even more eerie was that not only had he failed to detect the presence of other people here, but even the nine Ice Snow Jade Pendant guardians had not noticed any anomaly in this place!

As the two combat power qi auras approached Ye Chen in an instant, he snorted coldly and immediately his Life-bound Flying Sword "Crimson Fire" turned into a terrifying fiery red sword light, engulfing the two qi auras within the flames, and promptly eradicated them.

Ye Chen then turned towards the direction from where the qi auras had been shot and said coldly, "Who is it, attacking from the shadows? Show yourself!"
