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

Page 243

A terrifying thunderstorm instantly shattered the mountain beneath their feet, the thunder god raged, and all things fell silent!

Even the Soul Demon was forced back over a hundred steps, and the blood-red ghost-head broadsword in its hand trembled under the terrifying lightning...

"Golden lightning... Nine Profound Golden Lightning?!"

Hun Sha stared wide-eyed at the terrifying figure bathed in golden lightning, which resembled an ancient god or demon, majestic, terrifying, and inviolable!

"How could this kid possibly possess something so terrifying inside him!"

The Soul Demon screamed in disbelief.

He initially sensed the danger and thought it came from the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, but he never expected it to end like this...

At this moment, Ye Chen's body swelled to tens of feet, his hair stood on end, bathed in golden light, just like Son Goku in his Super Saiyan transformation.

His originally black eyes had been replaced by golden lightning, but there were also specks of milky white light mixed in with the gold.

"Heh, the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan... they don't seem so impressive after all..."

Ye Chen, who resembled both a god and a demon, shot golden light directly into the Soul-Slaying Abyss, while a voice as powerful as thunder resounded from his mouth.

"You arrogant brat!"

The Soul Demon's defenses were immediately broken by those words.

With a furious roar, he raised his blood-red blade once more...

With a ferocious look in his eyes, he swung his blood-red blade, and a massive blood-red beam thousands of feet long ripped through space, slashing down at the enormous golden figure with the force of splitting the earth.

"Hehe, this is more like it."

Feeling the terrifying blood-red light, Ye Chen smiled slightly, then stretched out his right hand, and a lightning spear completely formed from golden Nine Profound Lightning took shape.

With a casual wave of his hand, the lightning spear transformed into endless golden lightning, colliding head-on with the Soul Fiend Blade's aura with a deafening roar...

The crimson light and lightning intertwined, yet no sound was emitted.

The next moment, a terrifying shock burst forth from the origin, and countless terrifying hurricanes instantly swept across a range of thousands of miles. The space within that range of thousands of feet was violently distorted, and in the end, it was even shattered into a black hole thousands of feet in size...

Countless flying sand and rocks were swallowed by the black hole. After everything dissipated, the mountains within a thousand miles had all disappeared, and the original mountain range had become a depression!

This is a complete upheaval!

"Damn it, how come this kid is so troublesome?!" Hun Sha thought grimly as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

A kid who wasn't even a six-star Dou Sheng managed to elevate himself to the level of a seven-star Dou Sheng by relying on the Nine Profound Golden Lightning he somehow acquired.

Moreover, he could fight on par with someone like me, a late-stage Seven Star Dou Sheng!

No wonder he was able to lead his people out of the Medicine Realm, which was sealed off by the Void Lord.

Of course, what Hun Sha didn't know was that back in the Medicine Realm, Ye Chen hadn't shown any strength beyond his cultivation level; only the Refining Heaven Ancient Array and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame were somewhat outstanding.

The reason for doing this was to confuse the Void Devouring Flame to the greatest extent possible, so that it wouldn't be exposed before Su Lingyin devoured those Devouring Spirit Bloodlines.

The reason Ye Chen specifically had Su Lingyin lure the group of black flame creatures into the Refining Heaven Ancient Formation was to conceal the Devouring Spirit Bloodline aura that Su Lingyin might reveal when she made her move.

Before he truly possesses the power to suppress everything, he still needs to be careful not to expose his cheap mother-in-law's identity.

On the other side, Soul Fiend looked at the rampaging golden figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"No, we must finish this quickly!"

The fact that they've taken action against the Medicine Clan can't be kept secret for long, especially against the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan. They must end this before these guys realize what's happening.

A fierce glint flashed in Hun Sha's eyes, and his hand seals suddenly changed, causing the blood-red blade in his hand to fly out of his grasp.

As the crimson light surged, the blood-red blade instantly expanded to a thousand feet in size, its baleful aura condensing on the blade as if it were a tangible substance. The blood-red light surged, and even the soul trembled under this strike.

"Blood God Rises Through the Heavens!"

Soul Fiend's eyes turned cold, and his blood-red blade swept down in an instant!

A deafening sonic boom echoed across the sky. Where the blood-red blade passed, the space within a radius of ten thousand feet collapsed completely, and a massive, deep ravine, ten thousand feet wide, instantly formed on the newly formed plain below...

Seeing this, Ye Chen's expression also became serious.

"Drink!"

With a furious roar, the golden lightning spear in his hand rapidly expanded and then clashed fiercely with the blood-red blade.

"boom!"

An indescribable, terrifying shockwave swept across the sky, causing the already ravaged earth below to collapse once more, turning it into a bottomless abyss...

puff!

Hun Sha coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Just as he was severely injured by the backlash and his energy was greatly reduced, a purplish-gold light suddenly appeared from the space and silently arrived behind him...

Chapter 525 Forced into Marriage

"laugh!"

The purple-gold light touched the back of Hun Sha's heart in less than a breath, and the latter's battle qi defense immediately collapsed, the light easily piercing through his heart!

"How can this be?!"

Looking down at the heart that should have been beating in his chest, now gone, Soul Fiend's face turned deathly pale.

Of course, such injuries would have killed an ordinary person.

However, for a powerhouse like Soul Fiend, such an injury is not fatal. Moreover, even if his physical body dies, he can still preserve his soul.

However, Ye Chen didn't give him that chance...

As Hun Sha suffered severe damage, Ye Chen, who was prepared, raised his hand and released a milky-white flame lotus. In the instant that Hun Sha had no power to resist, he sealed it inside the lotus.

As the milky-white petals of the fiery lotus rapidly closed, Ye Chen also saw the figure of the Soul Fiend, which had been completely devoured by the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame...

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Then, the purple-gold light appeared beside Ye Chen. After the light dissipated, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman who was graceful, charming, heroic, and noble.

"Hey, big brother, I'm not late, am I?"

Well, okay, the moment she opens her mouth, all her elegance vanishes. Only Zi Yan could pull that off.

"No, you've arrived just in time!" Ye Chen said softly with a smile.

Knowing that the Soul Clan might be lying in ambush outside, how could Ye Chen not be prepared...?

Even before coming to participate in this pharmacopoeia, he had already sent a message to Zi Yan, instructing her to lead the powerful members of the Ancient Dragon Clan to ambush in the void surrounding the Shennong Mountains.

Just as the two were getting intimate, a figure silently appeared beside them...

Ye Chen, who had been smiling, suddenly froze, then looked at the figure of the newcomer with some surprise, and Tong Kong even shrank back slightly.

"To be able to get so close to me before being discovered, this person's strength is truly terrifying!"

Ye Chen thought to himself.

You must know that he is now a genuine Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, and with him already on guard, even a late-stage Seven Star Dou Sheng expert like Hun Sha would have no chance of escaping his detection.

"Who is this senior...?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the old man in black. He clasped his hands in greeting.

There was no malice in the other party, so Ye Chen could tell that he was not an enemy. Furthermore, because he had absorbed a large amount of ancient dragon blood essence, he was extremely sensitive to the aura of dragons, so Ye Chen was certain that this old man was a powerful senior figure from the dragon race…

"Let me introduce myself! Let me introduce myself!"

Zi Yan raised her hand and shouted, then jumped directly to the side of the old man in black.

"This is Grandpa Hei, who used to be my father's right-hand man... Grandpa Hei is an eight-star Dou Sheng, and even when my father was still alive, his strength was among the top three in the Dragon Clan!"

Ye Chen's eyes twitched, and then his eyes widened slightly.

"This old man is actually an eight-star Dou Sheng level old dragon..."

Such a terrifyingly powerful individual could probably even put up a fight against Void Devouring Flame, a nine-star Dou Sheng in his early stages.

As for the eight-star Dou Sheng currently existing on the continent, perhaps only the clan chiefs of the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan can compare with this old dragon!

Isn't this like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy...?

Ye Chen was originally worried that he didn't have a strong enough person by his side to keep the factory in check, which might put him at a disadvantage in future battles.

For this reason, he was even willing to risk forcibly absorbing the Nine Profound Golden Lightning within his body in order to quickly break through his cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, Zi Yan could bring him such a huge surprise this time. In this way, he doesn't have to take risks and can instead choose to improve step by step.

"Ye Chen greets Senior!" Ye Chen said respectfully, clasping his hands in greeting.

This wasn't to say that Ye Chen was being snobbish. The other party was, in a sense, Zi Yan's elder, and given Ye Chen's relationship with Zi Yan, it was only right that he be respectful to this old man.

The old man, whom Zi Yan called Grandpa Black, gave Ye Chen a sharp look from head to toe. Ye Chen felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and the hairs on the back of his head stood on end...

"Hmm, not bad, human lad. He is indeed worthy of my title as the lord of the dragon race..."

Tsk, what kind of talk is that? Does that mean he's admitting to his relationship with Zi Yan?

Ye Chen thought to himself.

Unlike ordinary women, Zi Yan was completely unaware of shyness when it came to this topic. Instead, she proudly declared, "Of course! This is the man I've chosen; he's naturally the best on the entire continent!"

Ye Chen's lips twitched, and he really wanted to ask: You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's the best?

Of course, Ye Chen wouldn't be modest about this; he was the best!

"Ye Chen, right? From now on, you can just call me Old Man Hei." The old man in black nodded to Ye Chen first, then changed the subject and continued, "However, shouldn't you and Zi Yan arrange your marriage sometime... After all, you already have a child. If the child is born without a proper father, wouldn't my Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan become a laughing stock?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen, who had been able to remain calm, instantly lost his composure. His eyes widened, and he roared, "What? What child... I don't know anything about him?"

Ye Chen's performance instantly darkened Old Man Hei's expression. A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the surrounding hundred-mile radius, even making it difficult for Ye Chen to breathe...

"Damn! This old dragon is too strong!"

Ye Chen roared inwardly.

At this point, he had lost all his additional attributes, so he was now just an ordinary five-star Dou Sheng...

Adding to the injuries caused by forcibly absorbing the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, Ye Chen was even weaker than usual. Therefore, when faced with the terrifying pressure of an eight-star Dou Sheng, he immediately felt immense pressure.

Fortunately, Zi Yan still cared about her older brother. She quickly tugged at Old Man Hei's sleeve and said in a disgruntled and coquettish tone, "Grandpa Hei, why are you doing this again... Didn't I tell you? That blood cocoon isn't my brother's or my child. It's just a special spirit born in the Void Thunder Pool..."

Unfortunately, Blackie clearly did not agree with this statement.

"Hmph! Born from the essence of the father and the blood of the mother. If it weren't for the combined yin and yang power of your bloodlines, how could a mere lightning spirit manifest a physical body!"

"If that's the case, then what's wrong with saying that you two are their biological parents?"

Ye Chen: "(￣ェ￣;)"

Zi Yan: “Σσ(?Д?；)”

That's really hard to refute.

……

"Uh, senior, let's leave here first and talk about this." Left with no other option, Ye Chen could only change the subject. "Don't worry, I will definitely give Zi Yan a grand wedding in the future. I will marry her in front of everyone on the entire continent!"

Yes, Ye Chen spoke very sincerely.

Given their relationship, Ye Chen would definitely not let this girl go in the future.

As for a grand wedding or something, is that a problem?

In the original novel, didn't Xiao Yan also hold a grand wedding after becoming emperor? And he married more than one woman...

Perfect timing! Ye Chen is planning something even bigger then!

Even if she's the bride, she'll definitely have more than Xiao Yan...

We can't lose face as time travelers, right?

"Hmph! Remember your words, or don't blame me for turning against you!" Old Hei clearly had no intention of pressing further and decided to stop while he was ahead.

This made Ye Chen feel uneasy; he felt like he'd been tricked...

His gaze shifted and he immediately saw Zi Yan standing to the side with a grin on her face. Ye Chen then gave the girl a knowing glare.

"Little girl, just wait, I'll teach you a lesson later!"

"Come on, come on..."

Well, after exchanging knowing glances, the two finally prepared to leave this troublesome place.

There was no other way. Even Ye Chen had already sensed the hidden aura in the distance. If he stayed any longer, he might really be surrounded by the Soul Clan.
