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

Page 242

Ye Chen's eyes flickered, and he immediately saw through Su Lingyin's real problem. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, but he quickly suppressed it.

After all, it would be inappropriate to laugh out loud in this situation...

"Alright, let's leave quickly..." Ye Chen said solemnly.

Go home early and give your mother-in-law some time to process this.

Beside them, the dozen or so young members of the Medicine Clan who had been rescued by Ye Chen from the Medicine Realm knelt down facing the direction of the mountains with sorrowful expressions.

Several women couldn't help but sob softly. Having always lived under the protection of the Medicine Clan, they had never felt so helpless and desperate.

Compared to the others, Yao Tian and Yao Ling were slightly calmer. Although their eyes still held endless sorrow, they did not show it on the surface.

Having gone through such a major change, both of them seem to have matured considerably.

"President Ye, I have no way to repay your great kindness. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay you with my life!"

Yao Tian turned around, clasped his hands in a deep fist salute to Ye Chen, and said in a solemn voice.

Beside him, Yao Ling's beautiful eyes were also fixed on Ye Chen, and she gracefully bent down.

"Live well, there's no need to repay us. If it weren't for the Medicine Clan's predecessors risking their lives, none of us would have escaped..."

Ye Chen waved his hand.

From this day forward, Yao Tian will no longer be the most dazzling star of the Yao Clan.

He needs to rely on his own strength to keep his remaining people alive. As for whether he can revitalize the race, that depends entirely on his own abilities.

"What are Chairman Ye's plans to do next?" Shennong looked at the group of young people from the Medicine Clan, feeling a pang of sadness.

Seeing his old friend's entire race wiped out, leaving only a few kittens and a few others, he couldn't bear it.

"The Soul Clan has acted too brutally. This time, they have killed many sect elders and sect leaders from the Central Continent. If this matter gets out, the Soul Clan will surely become a target of public criticism."

Although these sectarian factions may seem like ants to the Soul Clan, when united, they constitute a considerable force.

Ye Chen revealed the plan he had already made in his heart.

"Moreover, the truth about what happened today must be revealed to those ancient races, especially the ancient races!"

They are now the only force on the continent capable of rivaling the Soul Clan.

Then we'll unite with the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan to jointly contain the Soul Clan, and then find an opportunity to eradicate this scourge of the continent in one fell swoop!

Ye Chen's words made Yao Tian, ​​Yao Ling, and the others' eyes light up.

If we can destroy the Soul Clan, then we can avenge the extermination of the Medicine Clan!

"To deal with the Soul Clan, Yao Tian and my Yao Clan are willing to obey Chairman Ye's orders!" Yao Tian said directly, cupping his hands in greeting.

"We are willing to obey Chairman Ye's orders!" More than a dozen young people from the Medicine Clan shouted in unison.

When Shennong saw this scene, he sighed. He was originally very reluctant to get involved in this kind of conflict between continents.

But now, judging from the situation, it seems that there will be no safe place on the entire continent. He could only say, "Shennong Mountain Range is not safe either. I will go with you to the Pill Tower. I heard that your old monster is there. I haven't seen him for many years and I would like to meet him."

These words surprised Ye Chen.

After all, this old man is not just a six-star Dou Sheng, but also a top-level alchemy grandmaster who can refine ninth-grade Xuan Dan. His strength is definitely no less than his own. Taking him back would definitely make him a great god!

However, it was clearly not so easy for them to leave safely.

Just as Ye Chen and his group appeared outside the Shennong Mountains, on a mountain peak not far from them, a figure with a dark red ghost-headed broadsword slung over his shoulder leaned against a giant tree, his scarlet eyes reflecting a sea of ​​blood.

Chapter 524 Ye Chen's True Strength

Seeing the dark red ghost-head broadsword that suddenly appeared in front of them, Ye Chen and the others quickly looked towards a mountain peak.

"A member of the Soul Clan?"

When the figure appeared on the distant mountain peak, Yao Tian and the other remnants of the Yao clan immediately changed their expressions.

"It's Soul Fiend, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, whose strength is no less than that of Soul Mirror and Soul Flame!"

The only person present who was quite familiar with the ancient powerhouses of the Soul Clan, Shennong, quickly spoke up to remind them.

"As expected, since the Soul Clan chose to attack the Medicine Clan through the Pharmacopoeia, they will definitely go all out. I just wonder if the remaining one of the Soul Clan's Four Demon Saints has also appeared..."

These words made Yao Tian and the others from the Yao Clan turn even paler.

They had naturally heard of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan; each of them was no less powerful than their clan leader.

If two people were to pursue them simultaneously, their chances of escaping would be very slim.

Although they were willing to fight the Soul Clan to the death with sheer courage in the Medicine Realm, it was not an easy thing to gather the momentum of mutual destruction after they had truly escaped the desperate situation.

Moreover, they also bear the last hope of the Medicine Clan...

"Tsk, I didn't expect that someone would actually be able to tear apart the spatial seal set up by Lord Void..."

The Soul Fiend suddenly appeared in the sky above Ye Chen and the others, looking down at them with a grin.

He was initially quite annoyed that he'd been given a gatekeeping job, giving the opportunity to steal the credit to those two, Hun Yan and Hun Jing…

Unexpectedly, a little mouse actually bumped into my hand.

Ye Chen stared at the person in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He was naturally aware of the reputation of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, and having read the original work, he had a considerable understanding of their strength and foundation.

These are four terrifyingly powerful individuals at the late stage of the Seven Star Dou Sheng realm, who are renowned in the world alongside the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan.

On the surface, these four are already the second tier of powerhouses in the Soul Clan, second only to their patriarch, Soul Emperor.

However, Ye Chen also knew that, if he remembered correctly, the Soul Clan still had four ancient immortals at the level of eight-star Dou Sheng hidden away...

In terms of sheer numbers of powerful individuals, the Soul Clan alone is comparable to the three powerful races of Ancient Clan, Flame Clan, and Thunder Clan.

No wonder Ye Chen always felt that these ancient races were like pigs deliberately raised by the Soul Clan when he read books in his previous life. Every once in a while, they would slaughter a race to absorb their bloodline power and then extend the life of the Soul Clan...

This is not just idle talk; it's all based on the analysis made by Xiao Yan, Gu Yuan, and others in the original novel after the events involving the Medicine Clan.

Although Gu Yuan gave an example, Xiao Xuan once severely injured the Soul Emperor and several powerful Soul Clan members single-handedly, and even indirectly caused the premature death of some Soul Clan elders, thus greatly reducing the strength of the Soul Clan...

But Ye Chen felt that this was a forced attempt to salvage their shattered self-esteem.

The ancient races themselves have said that over the past tens of thousands of years, the ancient bloodlines on the continent have undergone countless replacements, but the Soul Race has remained steadfast, becoming the oldest and most mysterious race on the continent.

Most importantly, those ancient races declined or disappeared one after another, and some of them disappeared in ways similar to the Stone Race and the Spirit Race...

This leaves no room for doubt.

By treating other ancient races as domesticated bloodlines, the Soul Clan is truly terrifying!

However, this Soul Emperor's ambition seems to be greater than that of any previous Soul Clan member. He wants to become the next Battle Emperor of the Soul Clan, which is why he is so eager to take action against other races.

This is a plan to fatten oneself up first, and then make a desperate gamble!

Xiao Xuan had done something similar before, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

However, his failure gave the equally ambitious Soul Emperor an important reminder, making him realize that even if he exhausted the power of his entire clan's bloodline, he could not truly break through to the Dou Di level.

Unless one can find the missing piece in this world

That thing...

This thing can only be found in the cave of the last Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who appeared on the entire Dou Qi Continent!

Although these causes and consequences are not explicitly stated in the original work, one should be able to discern some of them by carefully reading the original text.

"How to do?"

Faced with the threat from the Soul Clan's powerful experts, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen.

Right now, only Ye Chen is the backbone of this team...

"It's alright, you guys go first, I'll handle this guy," Ye Chen said calmly.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the old man Shennong's expression changed.

How could you, a five-star Dou Sheng, possibly be a match for this guy!

Although Ye Chen's Refining Heaven Ancient Formation had previously refined the soul of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, it was only because of the combined assistance of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and Su Lingyin.

And most importantly, you need to have enough time to cast this grand formation...

If the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, Su Lingyin, and Shennong Elder were to restrain the Soul Flame simultaneously, and Ye Chen were to take the opportunity to set up a grand formation, then there would still be some chance. However, if only Ye Chen was left, Shennong Elder did not believe that he would have any chance of escaping.

Su Lingyin thought about this much as well...

"Don't worry, since this decision has been made, I'm confident I can handle it..." Ye Chen said, seeing the two of them frowning.

The main reason was that his cheap mother-in-law was not in a good enough condition to fight at the moment; otherwise, Ye Chen would not have minded letting them stay and help.

In this situation, the best option is to let them go first; otherwise, they might become a burden.

Seeing Ye Chen's determination, Shennong Elder and Su Lingyin said nothing more. After giving him a word of advice, they grabbed the young members of the Medicine Clan and quickly fled into the distance.

Watching those people leave, Hun Sha made no move, but focused all his attention on Ye Chen.

"What, sacrificing yourself for others? That's truly noble..."

Although his tone was sarcastic and disdainful, his actions were enough to show how much he valued Ye Chen.

Because Soul Fiend could clearly sense that the young man in front of him possessed a terrifying power that even he had to take seriously!

"It's not about selflessness, and besides, I don't think you can do anything to me..."

"How dare you!" A crimson glint flashed in Soul Fiend's eyes, and a cruel smile twisted his lips. "Then let me see if you have the right to utter such arrogant words!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand, which looked as if it were made of solidified blood, suddenly slashed down. A blood-red blade light, nearly a thousand feet long, swept across the sky and fiercely slashed down at Ye Chen.

"clang!"

The blade flashed past like lightning, and the next moment, a white figure appeared in front, arms crossed, actually managing to block the sharp blade...

The violent blade light instantly tore the sleeves of Ye Chen's arms apart, revealing his arms covered in purple-gold dragon armor.

A sharp pain traveled along the blade into Ye Chen's arms, causing him to frown slightly.

&

Bang!

With a powerful swing of his arms, Ye Chen deflected the terrifying blade of light, and a mountain behind him was cleaved in two.

Ye Chen took a few steps back and couldn't help but shake his arms. The power within his body surged, dispelling the pain and numbness in his arms.

"That old bastard, his knife is really heavy!"

This was Ye Chen's strongest defense, but unexpectedly it still couldn't completely withstand the opponent's attack.

Little did they know, the Soul Demon on the other side was completely shocked...

"Is this kid even human? He actually managed to withstand my blade's edge with his bare body? He's practically a humanoid beast!"

The fact that he swore twice in a row shows just how shocked Hun Sha was.

This is actually normal. After all, even if the opponent is an ancient dragon of the Void, with such a large difference in cultivation, taking a strike with 70% of one's power would still result in serious injury, right?

But judging from the other person's expression, they simply shook their hand and that was it...

"Purple-gold dragon scales... Could it be that this kid has obtained the bloodline of that young dragon emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?"

Zi Yan's unification of the Dragon Clan was not exactly a secret; some of the top powers on the continent were able to get the news, let alone the Soul Clan.

As for Zi Yan's identity as a Supreme Dragon-Phoenix, the Soul Clan also knew a little about it...

"He really is a lucky kid..."

"But that's all there is to it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hun Sha took a sudden step forward, and his figure appeared in front of Ye Chen almost instantly. The blood-red greatsword in his hand tore through space and slashed at Ye Chen's neck with an extremely astonishing speed.

The crimson light rapidly magnified in his pupils. The next moment, a violent golden light erupted from Ye Chen's body, followed by a terrifying golden lightning bolt that descended from the sky and struck Ye Chen directly...

wrong!

The lightning didn't come from the sky, but from inside Ye Chen's body!

In an instant, Hun Sha guessed what was going on.

boom!
