Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 261

Old Man Hei smiled and nodded, saying, "Zi Yan is of course your child. In the entire Dragon Clan, only your child is qualified to become the new Dragon Emperor!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Kun suppressed his excitement, looked at Old Man Hei, and asked urgently, "Where is my child? Where is Xiao Ziyan now?"

Old Hei glanced at Ye Chen and Zi Yan with a broad smile and said, "Hehe, Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. Not only is your daughter here, but your son-in-law is here too, so it's a good family reunion for Your Majesty..."

"What?!"

Zhu Kun, who was still excited, froze instantly, and three feet of golden light shot out from his pair of golden pupils.

"son in law?!"

Hemp egg!

I haven't even seen my daughter yet, and some fearless guy has already come to steal my vegetables?

Old Hei seemed oblivious to the murderous intent that was about to surface in Zhu Kun's eyes. He nodded excitedly and said, "Yes... but it's not quite right to say that the family is reunited. After all, your granddaughter is still in Zhongzhou. It would be a true reunion if we brought the little one here too!"

"Grand...granddaughter..."

"You bastard, I'm going to kill him!"

! ”

If Zhu Kun could still barely maintain his rationality, then hearing these three words would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, followed by a murderous roar that resounded throughout the world.

Chapter 544 Ye Chen's Thoughts: Scrape the Ground Three Feet Deep!

Zhu Kun's furious dragon claws ultimately did not land on Ye Chen's head.

Because, between the two, a slender figure in purple and gold stood in the way...

Both Zhu Kun and Ye Chen were stunned as they watched Zi Yan, who had golden wings unfurling from her back, wore purple-gold armor, held a golden dragon emperor sword, and appeared ready to attack at any moment.

"If you want to touch him, you'll have to get past me first!"

The cold words and the sharp tip of the sword instantly extinguished Zhu Kun's anger.

Zhu Kun immediately withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, then looked at the girl's cold, pretty face opposite him, appearing somewhat at a loss. Finally, he stammered, "Child, I...I am..."

"I am an orphan, without a father or a mother."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Zi Yan interrupted in a cold voice. However, her words and appearance made Ye Chen feel a pang of heartache.

Ye Chen naturally knew why Zi Yan was acting this way.

When Zi Yan was born, she lived alone in the deep mountains of the Black Corner Region...

At such a young age, although she was born with extraordinary talent as the daughter of the Dragon Emperor, she was still too young and suffered a lot of bullying. Although she eventually got revenge on them, the suffering she endured was unimaginable.

Later, she accidentally ate an unripe transformation herb, which led Elder Su Qian to bring her back to the inner courtyard. However, she remained all alone until she met Xin Yue, after which she gradually made friends.

Thinking back on it now, that clever, gluttonous little girl harbors a hidden sorrow...

At this moment, Zi Yan stood there stubbornly, but as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, a hint of sadness in her voice. Father… how much she had longed for this scene…

Ignoring Zhu Kun's murderous glare, Ye Chen pulled the stubborn and strong girl into his arms.

"Big brother..." The whispered voice reached Ye Chen's ears, causing him to tighten his arms again.

Seeing this, even Zhu Kun, a powerful figure at the pinnacle of the continent, panicked. As powerful as the Dragon Emperor, he couldn't stop his daughter's tears...

"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have coveted the ancient emperor's cave. It's all that bastard Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's fault. He plotted against me and made me trapped for so long!"

She wanted to go forward and wipe away her daughter's tears, but at that moment her daughter was nestled in the arms of another scoundrel, leaving Zhu Kun in a dilemma.

"Child, don't cry, don't cry, it's all my fault. From now on, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. If you don't believe me, I swear it's true."

Seeing the old Dragon Emperor in such a humble state, Ye Chen did not feel much sympathy for him.

To dare to explore the Dou Di Cave with his unborn child without any preparation, this old dragon's behavior is either arrogant or confident.

If you had arranged everything properly before coming out, neither Zi Yan nor the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would have ended up like this...

Of course, compared to the reunion of master and servant, father and daughter on this side, Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan and others on the other side simply stared wide-eyed.

Who would have thought that this suddenly appearing peak expert was actually the old Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, a super strong expert who had already dominated the continent long before them!

More importantly, this powerful figure was actually one of their people, and also Ye Chen's father-in-law.

The way things are changing is just too fast!

What Zi Yan said next sent a chill down their spines...

Zi Yan sniffed softly, her slightly reddened eyes fixed on the middle-aged man in front of her who was rubbing his hands together. The man, who had been so dignified, now looked rather simple and honest. Suddenly, she pointed her jade-like finger at the Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan in the distance, her voice slightly nasal: "How about we drive them away?"

"Row!"

Without any hesitation, Zhu Kun immediately agreed, and then a fierce glint suddenly appeared in his eyes as he turned towards Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan...

Even with Zhu Kun's strength, dealing with two late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng experts at once is definitely beyond his capabilities. However, if the Dan Tower group is included, then it might actually be possible...

Thinking of all this, both Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan's expressions darkened, and even the three-race allied forces were somewhat agitated.

Of course, if the two sides could join forces, then they wouldn't be afraid of the old Dragon Emperor.

However, both Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan were well aware that it was impossible for them to unite under any circumstances. The most important point was that they completely lacked even the most basic trust.

She glanced at Ye Chen...

Zhu Kun knew very well who his daughter was making this request for.

Although he was still somewhat unhappy, Zhu Kun couldn't show even the slightest bit of reluctance, otherwise his precious daughter probably wouldn't forgive him so easily.

"Hehe, I haven't made a move in many years. It's quite refreshing to encounter such a great battle as soon as I come out today."

Turning his head, Zhu Kun's body gradually floated up, his fist clenched, and a purple-gold luster slowly emanated from his body. His dragon eyes stared at Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, and he smiled.

"Humph!"

Seeing this sudden reversal of the situation, the Soul Emperor, his face grim, let out a cold snort. Then, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the ancient jade in his hand, striking the ancient stone gate directly…

Having secretly gathered power in advance, the Soul Emperor had now pushed the ancient jade to its limit.

"boom!"

As the beam of light shone down, the ancient gate that had been tightly closed for millennia suddenly began to slowly undulate, and cracks began to appear.

The cracks widened, and after a moment, the ancient stone door finally slid open slowly to both sides with a creaking sound.

"laugh!"

The moment the ancient stone gate opened, an ancient wave, seemingly from the distant past, suddenly burst forth from behind the massive gate!

Under such fluctuations, everyone present was struck as if by a heavy blow, and some of those with weaker strength were even directly blasted back tens of thousands of feet away.

The Dou Di Cave is about to open, and now even if Zhu Kun wanted to make a move, he wouldn't have the chance. Everyone's attention is now focused on the Ancient Emperor Cave, including Ye Chen and Zi Yan.

"Father-in-law, I wonder what's inside this cave? Is there really an item that can help someone break through to the Dou Di realm?"

Taking this opportunity, Ye Chen asked the question knowing the answer already.

Zhu Kun raised an eyebrow, feeling extremely uncomfortable hearing this scoundrel address him.

But he dared not retaliate... Moreover, Ye Chen's address was actually already...

In a way, he acknowledged himself as Ziyan's father, and seeing that his daughter didn't object, Zhu Kun's awkwardness immediately vanished. He even found the brat who had run off with his daughter much more agreeable.

"Indeed, there is a treasure that can help one advance to the Dou Di level... According to the information I have received, there is a nascent Emperor-grade pill in that cave. If I am not mistaken, if we, the Soul Emperor, and Gu Yuan were to obtain it, we would very likely advance to the Dou Di level."

Zhu Kun's words made everyone's eyes light up, but Zi Yan, Cai Die, and the other women couldn't help but frown.

"What would happen if Big Brother took that Emperor-grade embryonic pill? Would he be able to advance to Dou Di?" Zi Yan asked directly.

Zhu Kun: "...!"

So you really only have eyes for your little lover?

However, after Zhu Kun subconsciously examined Ye Chen, he was immediately filled with surprise...

"What's wrong with this little guy? How come even I can't detect any signs of battle qi in his body?"

Although he has completely switched to the spiritual energy cultivation system, this Emperor-grade embryonic pill is still very important to Ye Chen... As for how he will use it, Ye Chen needs to figure that out himself.

"I don't know what kind of existence this kid is, but in my ten thousand years of experience, I have never seen such an existence before... He doesn't even have any battle qi in his body, so what kind of Battle Emperor is he?"

Zi Yan was immediately startled, then quickly looked at Ye Chen. Although she knew that the latter was currently cultivating spiritual power, what if the Emperor-grade embryonic pill really had no effect on him? Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?

"Don't worry, I still have a great use for that Emperor-grade embryonic pill, even more important than advancing to the Dou Di realm, so I'm determined to win this Ancient Emperor Cave competition!" Ye Chen said directly.

With a determined look on her pretty face, Zi Yan said, "Yes, Big Brother, I will definitely lead the Ancient Dragon Clan to help you successfully obtain all the inherited items here!"

Zhu Kun: "..."

Speechless once again, Zhu Kun felt deeply hurt, but he had no choice but to obey his daughter's wishes... For Zhu Kun, who had been forced to separate from his daughter for countless years, nothing was more important than winning back his daughter's love for him as her father!

"Oh!"

Just as the ancient stone gate was fully opened, a wave that seemed to originate from the primordial era suddenly surged forth, causing the entire magma sea to explode with towering waves, the earth to tremble, and countless abysses thousands of feet deep to split open.

"Buzz!"

Strange ripples suddenly appeared on the ancient stone gate, and within the giant gate, space distorted and quickly condensed into a passage that seemed almost transparent.

"go!"

Upon seeing the transparent passage take shape, Ye Chen and Zhu Kun rushed out almost simultaneously. As they set off, Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan also transformed into rainbow lights and rushed into the passage as fast as lightning!

After passing through the spatial passage, what everyone saw was a void that had been silent for ten thousand years... In this boundless space, a piece of land floated in the space without any support.

This scene is somewhat similar to the first space when the continent was first created. However, compared to this pitch-black space, the first space has a complete sun, moon, and stars, which is completely different from this dimensional space that is dependent on the main world.

As figures appeared one after another, the silent space was finally broken. However, none of the three parties seemed to have any intention of stopping. They all rushed towards the continent, fearing that the other party would seize the initiative.

Of course, although the landmass did not look very big, it still appeared enormous when everyone came close.

Finding the Imperial-grade embryonic pill left behind by the ancient Emperor Tuoshe in such a place does not seem to be an easy task.

More importantly, after entering this space, even the Emperor-level souls of Zhu Kun, Hun Tiandi, and Gu Yuan were greatly suppressed...

"Come with me!"

At the critical moment, Ye Chen directly transmitted his voice to the people in the Pill Tower.

"You know the way?" Zhu Kun asked Ye Chen with a look of astonishment.

"I don't recognize it, but I've already found the possible location of that Emperor-grade embryonic pill..." Ye Chen said decisively.

"Impossible! Even if you are also an Emperor-level soul, you can't possibly surpass me by so much, can you?" Zhu Kun said decisively.

Even the three peak Dou Sheng were greatly suppressed here, so what makes you, a mere kid, think you can?

Ye Chen glanced at him, but offered no further explanation, and simply headed in his own direction...

"That brat!" Zhu Kun cursed angrily, but seeing Zi Yan follow without hesitation, he could only follow as well.

Indeed, even a soul at the Emperor Realm will be severely suppressed when it enters the territory of a true Dou Di.

However, Ye Chen is no longer just a simple Emperor-level soul. His soul has long since condensed into a divine spirit and even forged a Dharma body. Therefore, he has not been weakened in this Dou Di Cave.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others' actions, Soul Emperor frowned, remembering that Void Devouring Flame had been captured by this kid back then, and immediately followed behind.

Seeing all this, Gu Yuan and the others naturally didn't want to lag behind, so they also gave chase.

Sure enough, before they had flown for long, a huge plaza appeared in everyone's sight, and at the end of the plaza stood an ancient stone palace!

“Found it?!”

Upon seeing all this, all three parties were overjoyed.

Only Ye Chen didn't immediately focus his gaze on the ancient palace at the end, but instead looked at the huge plaza on the outermost edge, or rather, at the towering pillars on the plaza, each thousands of feet tall...

"Tsk, as expected, this is the Strange Flame Plaza..."

Looking at the deep yellow flame rising from the top of the pillar closest to him, Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile.

Of course, he wasn't coveting the numerous Origin of Different Flames still remaining in the Different Flame Plaza...

The moment Ye Chen saw this enormous plaza, a strong thought arose in his mind... What would happen if this Strange Fire Plaza were moved to the Sun Star above the Myriad Fire Continent and a temple were built there?

Or to put it more bluntly, could Ye Chen use this Strange Fire Plaza as a base and the twenty-two kinds of Strange Fire origins as nourishment to forge a palace of his own divine artifact level?

Or perhaps... a sacred relic?!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. If that were the case, it seemed he had gained another thing he couldn't give up... Should he just empty this entire Dou Di Cave Mansion...?
