Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen, surrounded by five or six thousand Heavenly Saints eager to challenge him, could only helplessly shake his head at this moment.

Especially one very old late-stage Heavenly Saint warrior, seeing Ye Chen constantly frowning with a look of worry and concern, said to Ye Chen, "Little guy, stop worrying. After I defeat you, I'll take your place. I'll be the ultimate candidate to enter the Magical Gourd for cultivation in this area!"

The words of this late-stage Heavenly Saint elder made Ye Chen feel both amused and helpless.

He was clearly worried about Jiang Yao, but to these Heavenly Saints, it seemed as if he was worried about being defeated by others?

Thinking of Jiang Yao, Ye Chen could only keep his worries and concerns in his heart in the end.

For one thing, there were countless folded spaces inside the Undersea Divine Palace, making it impossible for him to search for Jiang Yao. Secondly, there was not the slightest stir from the "Crimson Fire" flying sword within Ye Chen's Sword Palace Acupoint. His "Crimson Fire" flying sword was a twin to Jiang Yao's "Ghostly Water" flying sword; if Jiang Yao were in real danger, he should have been able to sense it.

Lastly, even if the Undersea Divine Palace blocked this kind of sensing, Ye Chen still believed in Jiang Yao's skills, her strength!

Not only did Jiang Yao have the Divine Phoenix Clan's treasure, but she also had the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact "Ice Snow Divine Sword" given to her by Bing Yi. With so many Heavenly Saints making it to the eleventh layer of the Undersea Divine Palace without incident, Ye Chen believed that nothing would happen to Jiang Yao either!

In the midst of various emotions, Ye Chen could only keep his worries about Jiang Yao in his heart and look for an opportunity to find her later.

Now, he had to deal with these challengers first.

"Five thousand nine hundred and twenty-four challengers?"

With a sweep of his divine sense, Ye Chen ascertained the exact number of Heavenly Saints challenging him.

Frustrated about Jiang Yao's situation, Ye Chen thought to himself, "Let me relieve some frustration with these challengers."

Ye Chen's thoughts were unknown to these challengers.

These people were crowding Ye Chen's challenge area, all itching to fight!

When True God Zhou Lin announced the start of the "grand martial contest" challenges across the hundred zones, an early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior jumped out in front of Ye Chen first: "I'll challenge you first, young man!"

Seeing this early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior leap forward, quite a few Heavenly Saints muttered with envy, "He got ahead of us!"

"Hmph, it doesn't matter; we all have to face a challenge in this area anyway. If he wins first, we can still beat him!" With this thought, the Heavenly Saints calmed down.

Ye Chen looked at the early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior who had jumped out with a smug look and said indifferently, "Well, with over five thousand nine hundred challengers, it seems I'll need to make this quick."

"What?" The casual words of Ye Chen took the early-stage Heavenly Saint challenger by surprise.

Then, what Ye Chen said next sent him into a towering rage. He heard Ye Chen tell him, "Ten breaths' time—I will defeat you within ten breaths. Make your move, or you'll lose the chance to attack altogether. Don't waste time."

Defeat him in ten breaths' time?!

No chance to make a move if he doesn't take action?!

A waste of time?!

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, this early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior was furious! Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

He'd confidently taken the initiative to challenge because he was somewhat certain of his own strength. Although he did not come from one of the six ancient clans of the Minor Spirit Realm, he hailed from a powerful force with True God Realm experts who had endured Two Tribulations, and even facing late-stage Heavenly Saint warriors, he was not the least bit daunted.

Even if he wasn't certain he could make it to the end, he still had the confidence to occupy a spot among the alternatives for a while, to prove his might.

Now, he was being looked down upon by an early-stage Heavenly Saint youth, told that a match with him was a waste of time.

Of course, his heart was ablaze with anger!

"Ten breaths? Humph, young man, I'll see what abilities you have to speak such big words!"

Boom!

With his anger surging, the early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior instantly unleashed a terrifying Heavenly Saint force and, with an aggressive move, charged towards Ye Chen.

Even though Ye Chen had spoken quietly, everyone present in the arena had the cultivation of the Heavenly Saint Realm and heard everything crystal clear.

As they saw this early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior make his move, all the Heavenly Saints outside the combat ring turned their gazes towards Ye Chen to see how this slightly arrogant youth would defend himself.

True God Zhou Lin, hovering in the void, also looked towards Ye Chen.

True God Zhou Lin wanted to see what was exceptional about this young man who had been the first to reach the strange land.

Even the likes of Palace Master Yuan Li, Mu Yao Palace Master, and Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, who were standing at the outskirts of other fighters' challenge zones and had not yet started their own challenges, turned their eyes toward Ye Chen.

And several alternative late-stage Heavenly Saint warriors, who were fighting, also looked over towards the busiest circle, where Ye Chen was the center of attention.

Beneath countless watching eyes, as the first early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior charged towards him, Ye Chen muttered a number to himself: "Five breaths."

Then, he took action.

Before all the Heavenly Saints could grasp what was happening, the early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior who had lunged at Ye Chen was sent flying back even faster than he had approached, finally crashing down onto the ground with a thunderous impact!

The early-stage Heavenly Saint warrior couldn't even get back up, lying on the ground groaning in pain!

"What happened?!"

"What's going on?!"

All the Heavenly Saints watching Ye Chen's area blinked and saw the early-stage Heavenly Saint challenger defeated in the blink of an eye.

They hadn't even reacted, and the battle was already over?!

They hadn't even seen clearly how Ye Chen had defeated that mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior!

Outside the crowd, in the void, True God Zhou Lin inhaled sharply at this moment!

As a True God of the Five Tribulations, he had clearly seen Ye Chen's move.

He could sense that in the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had used an extremely powerful attacking divine technique, and obviously, Ye Chen hadn't even used his full strength before he instantly defeated the challenger from the mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm.

"This young lad, he's got great strength!"

"No wonder he's the first to break into this 'Void Celestial Gourd' realm!"

"His true combat power has likely reached the level of a True God of the Two Tribulations or even the Three Tribulations!"

True God Zhou Lin was guessing.

While countless Heavenly Saints were confused and shaken, and True God Zhou Lin was surprised, Ye Chen turned to look at all the Heavenly Saints in front of him and then to the first challenger who had fallen to the ground: "Do you concede? If so, the rest can continue to fight, no need to waste time! There are more than five thousand warriors here, and it will take some time for me to defeat them all!"

This time, when Ye Chen mentioned not to waste time again, the Heavenly Saints who previously thought Ye Chen was a bit arrogant, were now silent.

Even though they hadn't seen clearly how Ye Chen had defeated the mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior in the first battle, as warriors of the Heavenly Saint Realm, their knowledge was extensive, and now it was clear to them that this young man was not to be trifled with!

This young man, might truly have the ability to be arrogant!

"I accept the challenge!"

Seeing that the fallen mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior couldn't even get up, another late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior stood out.

"I come from the Blood God Clan of the Minor Spirit Realm, lad, you're thinking too much if you say you will defeat us all. Remember, the one who will defeat you is called 'Crimson Source Heavenly Saint'!"

The late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior spoke directly.

"Crimson Source Heavenly Saint!"

"He is a well-known late-stage Heavenly Saint from the Blood God Clan, and it's said that he has a great chance to break through to the True God Realm in the future!"

"In this challenge area, the most powerful one I know of is him. He very well might end up owning the final cultivation spot of our area!"

"Even if the young lad is powerful, he is unlikely to be a match for Crimson Source Heavenly Saint!"

Countless Heavenly Saint Realm warriors who knew the name of Crimson Source Heavenly Saint were whispering among themselves.

Amid the low whispers of these Heavenly Saint Realm warriors, Ye Chen looked at Crimson Source Heavenly Saint and smiled, "Crimson Source Heavenly Saint? Since you've come to challenge, then make your move, similarly, within ten breaths' time!"

Again, ten breaths' time?!

Hearing Ye Chen mention ten breaths' time again, the Heavenly Saints paying attention to Ye Chen no longer thought he was simply arrogant, some even thought he was utterly clueless about the difficulties of reality.

To know, Crimson Source Heavenly Saint was a late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm warrior, and furthermore, one who had the hope of advancing to the True God Realm.

Defeat Crimson Source Heavenly Saint in ten breaths' time?

Even the top-tier late-stage Heavenly Saints wouldn't dare to make such a boastful claim!

While these Heavenly Saints found Ye Chen's bold words unbelievable, Crimson Source Heavenly Saint's face swelled red with blood, feeling both called an elder by Ye Chen and also told he would be defeated within ten breaths, which left him feeling incredibly frustrated, unable to vent his anger.

Only by defeating Ye Chen could he release this pent-up frustration.

With this thought, Crimson Source Heavenly Saint didn't wish to speak another word, and his figure flashed and vanished into thin air.

As he disappeared, a Heavenly Saint who knew about Crimson Source Heavenly Saint's techniques spoke out directly, "Crimson Source Heavenly Saint has a set of powerful Void-Shifting techniques that are extremely hard to guard against. The moment he appears will be the moment he strikes to kill..."

Before the Heavenly Saint could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped.

For he was shocked to see that the moment Crimson Source Heavenly Saint disappeared, the young man opposite him, Ye Chen, reached out towards a spot in the empty space to his left.

This grasp actually pulled out the hidden and vanished Crimson Source Heavenly Saint out of thin air!

What left all the Heavenly Saints who had previously marveled at Crimson Source Heavenly Saint's strength dumbstruck was that the young lad, with a strong swing of his hand, caused the formidable Crimson Source Heavenly Saint they revered to, just like the first challenger, be completely unable to resist, and be slammed to the ground with the same method.

In the end, Crimson Source Heavenly Saint lay on the ground wailing continuously, struggling to stand up, but completely unable to do so!

Seeing this, how could the Heavenly Saints present not understand Ye Chen's strength?

This young man, it wasn't a case of not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!

Clearly, he possessed a combat power many times stronger than Crimson Source Heavenly Saint!

And thinking that they too stood within this challenge area.

Recalling their own earlier thoughts of defeating this young man and occupying the reserved spot.

The more than five thousand nine hundred Heavenly Saints who hadn't yet challenged Ye Chen wailed in their hearts.

It was over.

They had chosen the wrong person to challenge!
