Primordial Star Scripture

The topmost cultivation site.

Having lost the qualification to continue cultivating and already eliminated from the "Extreme Heaven Test," the nine Divine Kings were all seated cross-legged in this place.

At this moment, these nine Divine Kings stared at the square-shaped array, which from time to time transmitted Divine Sense, each with their own thoughts.

Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi, the four Divine Kings who were relatively closer to Ye Chen, although slightly disappointed about their elimination, didn’t take it too seriously.

Originally, their strength was not among the strongest in the top ten Divine Kings, and their venture to the Nine Suns Ancient Land was more about gaining experience and meeting Long Li.

Having participated in the "Extreme Heaven Test" alongside Long Li was satisfying enough for them; they had anticipated not making it to the end.

The most shocking thing for these four at this moment was the miracle created by Ye Chen, whom they had just befriended!

A Four Tribulations True God, a warrior from the lower realm, was currently competing to the end alongside the first prodigy of the younger generation of the Divine Kingdom and Long Li, the first goddess from the Supreme Divine Institute. Even figures like Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and Qin Feng had been eliminated, yet he continued to persevere.

And it seemed that he was on par with Long Li.

How could this not shock the four of them enormously?!

"Friend Ye Chen... is simply incredible!" Mu Ling communicated to Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi through transmission, full of wonder.

Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi all nodded in agreement.

"After this journey in the Nine Suns Ancient Land ends, we must invite friend Ye Chen to visit our two great houses in the Southern Region."

"I imagine the elders of our clans would be very delighted to meet such a talented youngster!"

"Who would have thought that our trip to the Nine Suns Ancient Land would yield such an invaluable gain, befriending such an impressive individual!"

Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi were a bit excited and agitated.

At this point, Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and Qin Feng had completely sour expressions on their faces.

On one hand, they hadn’t expected that the "Method of Fire Control" would be so difficult to comprehend, causing even them to be eliminated.

What they had even less anticipated was that there was someone who was stronger than they were, and still persisted.

This made Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and Qin Feng feel as though they had been slapped in the face.

They were celebrities at the Supreme Divine Institute but now, in the Nine Suns Ancient Land, they had been surpassed by a mere Four Tribulations True God, their faces slapped by this same minor deity, which was naturally humiliating for them.

What annoyed Yang Yan and Qin Feng even more was the hint of information leaked by Yang Yun that this Four Tribulations True God seemed to be remarkably valued by Long Li.

Long Li had smiled lightly at Ye Chen?

Had spoken intimately with Ye Chen?

They remembered that before the "Extreme Heaven Test" had started, when Ye Chen met Long Li, she seemed to look at him a little differently.

Jealousy blazed fiercely within Yang Yan and Qin Feng.

"Hmph, let that boy be proud for a moment!"

"Though his comprehension is indeed strong, he is just a Four Tribulations True God. Tall trees catch much wind, and I’ll make him learn what happens if he doesn’t stay modest!"

Qin Feng’s killing intent towards Ye Chen had become utterly uncontrollable.

He was eager to find a chance to kill Ye Chen immediately.

And Yang Yan’s eyes shimmered with a chill, pondering something or other.

As for Yang Yun, after releasing the news that Long Li took a special interest in Ye Chen, he just sneered as he looked down at the Bottomless Fire Cave.

"Ye Chen, I’m afraid this time, you will die a terrible death without me having to lift a finger."

"Qin Feng and Yang Yan are not the kind to easily quench their jealousy."

Among the nine eliminated Divine Kings, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing were the most concerned about who would obtain the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

Their thoughts were immensely conflicted.

On one hand, they were in awe of Ye Chen’s powerful performance, and thinking back to Ye Chen’s composed demeanor, they now understood that this young man was truly formidable.

What girl doesn’t admire a hero?

Especially for a genuine genius like Ye Chen, who could contend with Long Li, the two girls had never met anyone like him in the Divine Kingdom’s Northern Region or within their own Institute, the Tai Qing Divine Institute.

This even made the two young women feel an inexplicable emotion towards Ye Chen.

But on the other hand, they could not forget about Long Li, whom they exceedingly cared for.

"Blue Extreme Iceflame," this magical flame from the treasures of the heavens, was something they knew Long Li was desperate to obtain.

Initially, both girls had believed that the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" would undoubtedly be in Long Li’s possession, only to find out that others had also been drawn into the competition for it.

Nor had they expected that a miraculous young man would emerge, capable of truly competing with Long Li.

They no longer knew whether they hoped for the miraculous young man to continue creating miracles, or if they wished for their sister Long Li to get the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" as she desired.

"Let’s hope it’s sister Long Li who gets the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’ in the end."

"That Ye Chen... is formidable; he has already proven his capabilities. If there’s a chance, we’ll invite him to visit the Northern Region, to Danxia Valley..."

Thinking of this, the faces of the two young women even began to flush with embarrassment.

While the nine eliminated Divine Kings were each preoccupied with their thoughts, the square-shaped array before them suddenly transmitted another Divine Sense, reaching out to the nine individuals in the midst of the field.

This Divine Sense, unexpectedly addressed the nine people, noting that the last two remaining had both simultaneously breached the twenty-first training ground, and had both completed the twenty-first level of the Method of Fire Control training.

The two were heading towards the twenty-second layer of the training ground located at the very bottom of the Bottomless Fire Cave!

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Qianqian, Zhu Qingqing, Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi all stood up with a "whoosh".

They of course knew, the last two remaining were none other than Ye Chen and Long Li.

They hadn’t expected that even at the end, Ye Chen and Long Li were still closely following each other, still charging downwards without yielding the lead!

"Heavens."

"He actually completed the twenty-first layer of the Method of Fire Control!"

"Ye Chen and Long Li have gone to the twenty-second layer of the training ground, that’s the last layer of the ’Method of Fire Control’!"

"Doesn’t this mean that the two of them are already heading towards the final realm? Perhaps that legendary Extreme Heaven item, the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’, lies there!"

"The last layer, whoever can train successfully, will be able to obtain the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’!"

Zhu Qianqian, Zhu Qingqing, Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi all grew extremely tense.

They had no idea who between Long Li and Ye Chen would succeed in the end.

At the same time, they were filled with doubts. Continue your story on NovelBin.Côm

If...

If both of them completed the last layer at the same time, then to whom would the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" belong?

At that moment, among the nine Divine Kings, the ones who didn’t care much about who obtained the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" were Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and Qin Feng.

To them, it was all the same whoever got it.

In their hearts, they were already bent on killing Ye Chen.

Even if Ye Chen obtained that Extreme Heaven item, the three coming from the forces of the Sovereign Realm might, they also knew that such objects were beyond Ye Chen’s current realm and were hardly utilizable by him.

It also did not affect their plans to kill Ye Chen in the slightest.

The only reason they considered the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" was that if Ye Chen indeed got it, they could consider taking possession of the item after they killed him.

Although the rumors spoke of the true Extreme Heaven items as being incredibly sentient, once conquered, they would not accept a second master; even if the owner died, the Extreme Heaven item would likewise perish.

But if Ye Chen’s realm was too low, and he hadn’t truly conquered the Blue Extreme Iceflame, then they might be able to claim it for themselves.

Thinking of this made the three of them inwardly startled.

They suddenly realized that unconsciously, they had no significant doubt that Ye Chen could obtain the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" competing with Long Li.

While the nine eliminated Divine Kings had their own different thoughts, upon hearing that Ye Chen and Long Li had simultaneously reached the final step of the Extreme Heaven Test and both completed the twenty-first level of the Method of Fire Control, thereby proceeding to the twenty-second level.

Looking towards the depths of the Bottomless Fire Cave, tens of thousands of zhang below, one could see Ye Chen and Long Li standing amidst a field of purple flames.

At their current location in the realm, the terrible lethal power of the purple flames could easily slay an immortal Divine Sovereign!

Were it not for the fact they both had trained in the Method of Fire Control, specifically created to counter the lethal power of flames, even Long Li would not have been able to reach this place!

After standing up and receiving the twenty-first blue mark, signifying that both had passed the twenty-first stage of the Method of Fire Control training, Long Li and Ye Chen looked towards each other once again.

Through the continuous training and competing, they had become very familiar with each other.

Both were shocked by each other’s powerful comprehension abilities.

Especially Long Li, whose usually cold expression had melted like snowflakes, looked at Ye Chen and took a deep breath before smiling and saying, "Fellow Ye Chen, only the last layer of the Method of Fire Control remains to be trained."

"To be honest, I no longer feel confident in my heart now, you’ve truly surprised me!"

"If you had been cultivating in the Divine Kingdom from the beginning, I’m afraid that by now, your achievements would be even stronger than mine!"

In the course of their rivalry, Long Li had learned that Ye Chen came from the lower realm.

Hearing Long Li’s words, Ye Chen smiled as well: "Fellow Long Li is only sixteen, two years younger than me. Even if I had been cultivating in the Divine Kingdom, reaching your level of combat strength would be extremely difficult. You are being too modest."

"The last layer of the Method of Fire Control, I imagine in that realm, we might actually see the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’. I too am curious to see what it looks like."

"As for which of us two can obtain the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ that will depend on our respective fortunes."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Long Li nodded.

After exchanging glances, they both began to step forward, descending deeper into the Bottomless Fire Cave.

This time, as they walked down the slanted depth of the Bottomless Fire Cave for about the time it took to brew two cups of tea, and even crossed a bridge burning with flames, they finally arrived at the twenty-second layer of the Method of Fire Control training ground.

Upon reaching this place, both Ye Chen and Long Li felt a tremor in their hearts.

They saw that the site they finally reached was no longer an endlessly downward-extending corridor but rather, they had arrived on a vast platform.

The very bottom of the Bottomless Fire Cave was actually an immensely huge platform.

Even more wondrous was that this platform had twelve large Divine Stones burning with flames standing erect, and in the center of the platform, surrounded by the twelve colossal flames of the Divine Stones, was a small Fire Pond.

Above the Fire Pond, in the empty space, floated a three-feet-long, brilliantly sparkling blue flame.

The Blue Extreme Iceflame!

The moment they saw this flame, Ye Chen and Long Li knew that this was the most precious Extreme Heaven item hidden within the Bottomless Fire Cave!
