Primordial Star Scripture

"Xuan Chong, what do you say?"

"Do you dare to wager, dare to battle?!"

Ye Chen's voice echoed throughout the Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable combat Slaughter Field, stunning everyone.

No one expected that it was originally Xuan Chong who challenged Ye Chen, asking him if he dared to wager a battle.

Now, not only had Ye Chen accepted the challenge, but he also dramatically increased the stakes, turning the tables to ask Xuan Chong if he dared.

Instantly, all eyes were on Xuan Chong.

Everyone wanted to see if Xuan Chong would dare to take on Ye Chen's wager.

If Xuan Chong didn't dare to take up the wager in turn, he would become the laughingstock of all!

"Wager my hundred drops of Essence Blood?!"

"This Ye Chen is simply going too far!"

For Martial Artists, Essence Blood is equivalent to the Life Origin; it requires tremendous effort to recover once depleted, and sometimes, it might never completely recover.

True, Xuan Chong's hundred drops of Essence Blood may not be worth as much as the "Ultimate Heavenly Artifact", but Ye Chen's proposal to wager Essence Blood directly made Xuan Chong feel enormously humiliated.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of all, Xuan Chong could not possibly decline Ye Chen's wager. Otherwise, not only the disciples of the Supreme Divine Institute might laugh at him, but even the Divine Kings from the four Great Divine Kingdoms might look down on him.

After all, it was he who provoked this situation!

In the end, Xuan Chong thought bitterly, "A wager then, a wager it shall be. I've cultivated for so many years, how could I be afraid of you, Ye Chen?"

"I'll make sure you neither get my Essence Blood nor will you retain your Ultimate Heavenly Artifact!"

With that in mind, a surge of eagerness welled up in Xuan Chong.

The Ultimate Heavenly Artifact, oh!

Even a damaged one, if he could obtain it, he would certainly make a fortune.

With this thought, Xuan Chong directly challenged Ye Chen: "A bet then, a bet it is. Ye Chen, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Hearing Xuan Chong's agreement, a glint of sharpness flashed in Ye Chen's eyes as he thought to himself: "Done!"

Wow.

At this moment, the spectating area erupted into hubbub.

Countless people were incredibly excited.

After all, they were about to witness another thrilling fight!

Boom!

Having set the wager, Ye Chen's figure dashed and he directly flew onto the Slaughter Arena, taking his place amidst the void, standing opposite Xuan Chong from afar.

As the real battle was about to commence, Xuan Chong's vanity became even more pronounced. He licked his lips and sneered at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you were defeated by Beiling Xiaoxiao, yet I triumphed over her."

"Since we're going to battle, I'll let you make the first move, don't say I'm bullying the weak!"

Xuan Chong was showing off his battle achievements once more.

In his heart, Xuan Chong thought by letting Ye Chen make the first move and then counterattacking, he could defeat Ye Chen instantly and show his formidableness even more.

Xuan Chong was indulging in a beautiful dream.

At that moment, after hearing Xuan Chong's words, Ye Chen responded with a smile, "Are you sure you want me to make the first move?"

"Let you take the first move? So what?" Xuan Chong still spoke disdainfully.

As his words fell, Ye Chen didn't say more, directly stating: "Alright, if you're looking for a beating, you can't blame me!"

Boom!

In an instant, as Xuan Chong had wished, Ye Chen made the first move.

The moment Ye Chen took action, Xuan Chong immediately realized something was wrong.

He found that with just a simple wave of the hand, a terrifying palm strike like an overwhelming tidal wave was crashing down on him.

Under the onslaught of this terrifying palm strike, Xuan Chong even felt as if there was nowhere to escape.

Bang!

Indeed, there was nowhere to escape. Even though Xuan Chong mobilized all his Divine Power trying to dodge Ye Chen's attack, he couldn't avoid it at all and was instantly struck down onto the Slaughter Arena by Ye Chen's palm.

The Slaughter Arena where the two fought was a battle platform specially moved by the power of the Sovereign of the Supreme Divine Institute from the "Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable combat Slaughter Field" for the previous battle between Xuan Chong and Beiling Xiaoxiao. It was incredibly solid.

When Xuan Chong was struck onto the Slaughter Arena by that palm, the platform was unscathed, but Xuan Chong's entire body felt as though it was going to break apart.

The more exciting part was yet to come.

Xuan Chong, whose body almost felt shattered by that palm strike, couldn't even scream before Ye Chen's subsequent assault followed one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Terrible palm strikes rained down on Xuan Chong incessantly.

Before Xuan Chong could get up from the Slaughter Arena, he was bombarded back onto the ground of the platform.

He was simply being thrashed by Ye Chen, without even a chance to fight back.

In the end, Xuan Chong couldn't even manage a counterattack and was directly blasted to the brink of life and death by Ye Chen, eventually being eliminated from the Slaughter Arena.

Defeat.

The outcome of the battle between Xuan Chong and Ye Chen was a one-sided terrible defeat for Xuan Chong!

At this moment, the spectating area was filled with shock; no one expected Xuan Chong to be defeated so miserably.

Now, letting Ye Chen take the first action seemed like a joke.

Ye Chen took initiative and before Xuan Chong could even retaliate, he was already beaten!

Everyone could see that Ye Chen's combat power was much greater than Xuan Chong's, who was no match for Ye Chen at all!

At this moment, even the few behind the top ten Demon Level prodigies of the four Great Divine Kingdoms were all agape.

These Demon Level talents felt that Ye Chen's combat power might not be much weaker than theirs, and it was even possible that they were on par with them!

Sima Liao, ranked third, was also shocked: "Xuan Chong couldn't even fight back; he's a combatant who is considered to have stepped into the Middle Heavenly Divine Venerable combat power level. Has Ye Chen's combat level also reached the Middle Heavenly Divine Venerable combat power level? And is he an absolute powerhouse within this level?!"

Although Sima Liao sensed that Ye Chen hadn't stepped into the combat level of Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable like himself, the way Ye Chen thrashed Xuan Chong made Sima Liao believe that Ye Chen's strength was indeed extraordinary.

Hua Xuelian, who was by Sima Liao's side, also exclaimed with shock at this moment: "This Ye Chen definitely has the strength to rank in the top ten among the four hundred thousand Martial Artists coming from our four Great Divine Kingdoms this time, although he might not necessarily be able to defeat us. However, he is absolutely not weaker than the last few in the top ten!"

The numerous Martial Artists from the four Great Divine Kingdoms were all shaken.

Meanwhile, the disciples and elders of the Supreme Divine Institute were overjoyed, with many even cheering excitedly.

The Little Provincial Princess's face flushed with excitement as she shouted at the defeated Xuan Chong: "I said you couldn't beat my brother Ye Chen, and you didn't believe me! Now you can't even handle a single move from my brother Ye Chen!"

Beiling Xiaoxiao, along with the Martial Artists from the Slaughter Field who had seen Ye Chen's power before, were extremely surprised at this moment.

They had thought that Ye Chen's strength would improve after over a year of arduous cultivation.

But they had never imagined that Ye Chen's strength would improve to such an extent!

Especially Beiling Xiaoxiao, she had always been looking forward to Ye Chen using that Treasure, which even she feared, to defeat Xuan Chong. But what Beiling Xiaoxiao did not expect was that, without using that Treasure, Ye Chen could beat Xuan Chong so miserably!

Obviously, at this moment, using just his normal abilities, Ye Chen's combat power far exceeded hers!

Right now, Ye Chen was no longer at the level he was when he fought against her in the Slaughter Field of the Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable; it was as if his combat power had increased countless times!

Sovereign Jia Lan and Divine Venerable Meng Yue exchanged glances at this moment, their eyes filled with a mix of surprise and delight.

"Who would have thought, after more than a year, Ye Chen's strength has improved so much!"

"It seems that his arduous cultivation in the Earth Fiend Cultivation Room has brought him an enormous harvest!"

The elders of the Supreme Divine Institute, at this moment, each felt a sense of exhaling and lifting their eyebrows in satisfaction.

Previously, Xuan Chong had swept through the Slaughter Field of the Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable with his power, and also defeated Beiling Xiaoxiao, which had greatly suppressed their spirits.

Now, Ye Chen has helped them, and the entire Supreme Divine Institute, regain their dignity!

An Eight Star Sovereign elder from the Supreme Divine Institute even deliberately said to the Sovereign who had previously intervened to stop Sovereign Jia Lan from the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom: "How about it, Elder Xue, didn't you say you wanted to see Ye Chen's strength? Isn't Ye Chen's strength quite something?"

"Ye Chen, just like your Divine Kingdom's Xuan Chong, is in the Lower God King Realm. Besides, Ye Chen has spent much less time cultivating than Xuan Chong. Unexpectedly, Xuan Chong was defeated so miserably, tsk tsk..."

The elder from the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom had previously ridiculed the Supreme Divine Institute overtly and covertly on various occasions. Now, the elders of the Supreme Divine Institute finally found an opportunity to throw those taunts back at them.

It was indeed payback!

The Eight Star Sovereign elder from the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom, on hearing the words of the elder from the Supreme Divine Institute, trembled with anger.

"Useless, Xuan Chong is too useless!"

"Actually unable to withstand a single move from Ye Chen! If you can't resist, then don't show off. Now you've lost face badly, making our Snow Desert Divine Kingdom lose face along with you!"

In his rage, the Eight Star Sovereign elder glared at Xuan Chong, wishing he could slap Xuan Chong to death on the spot.

At this moment, Xuan Chong was not at all aware of the glaring eyes of his Divine Kingdom's leading elder; his heart was filled with disbelief and unwillingness: "No, how could I be defeated by this Ye Chen?!"

"The Ultimate Heavenly Artifact is mine, it's mine!"

"It's just because Ye Chen took action first and I didn't notice that is why I lost, it must be so!"

As he said this, Xuan Chong's head abruptly raised as he shouted towards Ye Chen: "I don't accept this, Ye Chen, I do not! If I take the first move, I will definitely defeat you!"

Xuan Chong's refusal to admit defeat even after losing caused a commotion among the spectators.

"Shameless!"

"To lose and not admit it, and you were the one who let brother Ye Chen make the first move, every word was yours, how about you just ascend to heaven!"

The Little Provincial Princess was even amused to the point of laughter by Xuan Chong's shamelessness.

Others also started cursing at Xuan Chong vigorously.

However, Xuan Chong ignored all these curses; he was just looking at Ye Chen.

Because he knew, only if he shamelessly got another chance to fight Ye Chen could he regain his face!

Ye Chen, hearing Xuan Chong's words, of course knew what Xuan Chong's silly act was all about.

However, Ye Chen didn't care about his tricks.

Ye Chen directly said to Xuan Chong indifferently: "Not convinced? Fine, then I'll let you make the first move."

Hearing that Ye Chen really agreed to fight him again, Xuan Chong hurriedly flew back to the Slaughter Arena from the defeated area.

As if afraid that Ye Chen would change his mind, Xuan Chong didn't say another word and immediately launched an attack at Ye Chen.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, Xuan Chong unleashed all his formidable techniques; he released all his Divine Power, and even brought out his precious Life-bound Treasure.

However.

When Xuan Chong launched his initial attack on Ye Chen, what followed was a scene that surprised everyone once again.

Just like before, Ye Chen struck with an earth-shattering palm, completely scattering all of Xuan Chong's attacks.

Then, the huge palm force once again slammed Xuan Chong to the ground!

Finally, amidst endless blows, Xuan Chong was once again brutally defeated and Eliminated!

A crushing defeat.

A merciless beating!

This time, Xuan Chong still ended up miserably crushed and savagely defeated.

After this defeat, the color drained from Xuan Chong's face.

He knew that he indeed could not defeat Ye Chen no matter what.

Even though he could sweep through the Slaughter Field of Lower Heavenly Divine Venerables, and even defeat Beiling Xiaoxiao, his combat power was only at the level of a common Mid-level Heavenly Divine Venerable. But Ye Chen's combat power was obviously many times stronger than his!

At this moment, Xuan Chong didn't even dare to look at Ye Chen or anyone else any longer.

After all, he had lost a lot of face.

Regretful of his insistence and having lost again, his reputation was completely tarnished.

Xuan Chong even thought about sneaking out of the Slaughter Arena.

But Ye Chen was not going to let him get his wish.

Ye Chen directly said to Xuan Chong: "How about it, are you convinced now? If you're still not convinced, I don't mind beating you up once more."

"If you are convinced, then honor your bet - one hundred drops of Essence Blood, and pay up!"
