Primordial Star Scripture

No one knows why Ye Chen wagered a hundred drops of Essence Blood with Xuan Chong.

No one knows why upon hearing Xuan Chong accepting the bet, Ye Chen couldn't help but say "Success" in his heart.

Indeed, Xuan Chong was the one who provoked first.

To clear his name and uphold the dignity of the Supreme Divine Institute, Ye Chen would defeat Xuan Chong.

On the way from the "Earth Fiend Cultivation Room" to the Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable Combat Power Slaughter Field, Ye Chen had made this decision.

At that time, Ye Chen did not even think about the stakes, he just focused on defeating this provocateur.

However, the moment Ye Chen saw Xuan Chong, an expression of immense surprise surged in his heart.

Because, Xuan Chong came from the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom and was a tribesman of the "Snow Liao Tribe".

Many spectators knew that the "Snow Liao Tribe" from this universe is a famous high-level spirit clan with potent innate divine abilities.

Yet, they did not know that Ye Chen precisely needed the Lifeblood of high-level spirit clans!

The fifth chapter of the "Primordial Star Scripture" Ye Chen cultivated, the "Taiyi Chapter," required Ye Chen to find seven high-level spirit clan tribesmen and obtain a hundred drops of Essence Blood from each.

Then, to drop them into the star disks formed by the seven dazzling stars on the fifth level of the Stars Tower.

Only then, Ye Chen could proceed to the sixth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture!

For this purpose, the fifth level of the Stars Tower even reserved for Ye Chen a "Heavenly Spirit Rankings" that records ten thousand powerful spirit beings in the universe.

Back then, upon seeing the "Heavenly Spirit Rankings," Ye Chen had memorized the ten thousand powerful spirit clans in his heart.

He even engraved deeply into his mind, the "hundred high-level spirit clans" useful for his breakthrough to the sixth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.

This was the reason he recognized Xuan Chong as someone from the high-level spirit clan "Snow Liao Tribe" at first glance!

According to the requirements of the "Taiyi Chapter," Ye Chen needed to find one hundred drops of Essence Blood from three Heavenly Divine Venerable level, two Immortal Divine Venerable level, and one Sovereign level high-level spirit clan individuals.

Out of the seven Essence Blood requirements, only one position can be used to find Essence Blood from below the Heavenly Divine Venerable realm of high-level spirit clans.

Originally, Ye Chen planned to look for the opportunity to gather Essence Blood after completing the requests of Huyan Divine Master in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom after coming out from Heavenly God Mountain.

After all, there are many high-level spirit clans in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

But now, having unexpectedly encountered Xuan Chong, a tribesman from the "Snow Liao Tribe" here, Ye Chen certainly would not miss this closer opportunity!

Although Xuan Chong is just a Divine King, he is a tribesman of a high-level spirit clan, meeting one of Ye Chen's requirements for seeking the seven major bloods.

Ye Chen certainly wants to obtain Essence Blood from Xuan Chong!

Once he obtains the Essence Blood and drips it into the Stars Tower to activate one of the seven star disks, it will greatly aid the potency of his "Taiyi Chapter"!

Especially since Ye Chen is about to enter Heavenly God Mountain, and also to help Huyan Divine Master fulfill his wish in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Both of these matters do not afford any mistakes.

If there are, it would mean Ye Chen could die!

Of course, Ye Chen hopes for his power to be enhanced sooner rather than later.

Now, having the chance to obtain Xuan Chong's Essence Blood, and having the opportunity to activate a star disk before entering Heavenly God Mountain, Ye Chen would certainly not miss this godsend!

Xuan Chong has no idea that Ye Chen's wager with him, by setting a bet on Essence Blood, involves such deep reasons!

Xuan Chong is even more unaware that while he intended to shame Ye Chen, he ended up unwittingly aiding him!

When Ye Chen asked for the wager to be paid, Xuan Chong's face turned successive shades of red and white, and he even stood still looking towards Sima Liao as if seeking help.

However, at that moment Sima Liao did not heed Xuan Chong's plea for help.

It's a joke, Sima Liao isn't foolish.

He knew that Xuan Chong's defeat, not conceding but losing again, had already brought him great embarrassment, and if he did not even pay up the bet, that would be utterly indefensible.

Moreover, Sima Liao had seen that when Ye Chen demanded Xuan Chong to pay up the bet, the elders of the Supreme Divine Institute were all eagerly watching Xuan Chong.

It seemed like if Xuan Chong dared to renege, they would personally enter the fray to catch him and force him to pay the bet.

In this situation, Sima Liao could not help Xuan Chong anymore.

He even directly transmitted a message to Xuan Chong: "It's just a hundred drops of Essence Blood, if he wants it, just give it to him! It's still better than you compensating with a more valuable Ultimate Heavenly Artifact!"

"After returning to Snow Desert Divine Kingdom from Heavenly God Mountain this time, I will search for treasures to help you recover your Life Origin and replenish your Essence Blood!"

Even Sima Liao said this, leaving Xuan Chong no choice but to gloomily fly back to the Slaughter Arena.

He extended his arm towards Ye Chen and said, "I will force the Essence Blood into the meridians of my arm; you need to take one hundred drops, so hurry up and take them."

Having been defeated under the watchful eyes of the public and now about to be bled in the same manner, Xuan Chong thought to himself that he had truly bad luck for several lifetimes.

If he had known how powerful Ye Chen was, he would have never provoked him, not even if he was beaten to death.

Even if it was Sima Liao who secretly instigated him to provoke Ye Chen, he would have asked Sima Liao to find someone else!

Xuan Chong's regretful feelings were of course unknown to Ye Chen.

At this moment, Ye Chen was not about to pay any heed to Xuan Chong's feelings.

Upon hearing Xuan Chong agree to "bleed," Ye Chen extended his finger, and a flash of sword light directly sliced upon Xuan Chong's arm.

Instantly, drops of "green-tinged" "Essence Blood" began dripping down towards the ground.

With another tap of Ye Chen's finger, a small white bottle caught those falling drops of Essence Blood.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

In a moment, a hundred drops of Essence Blood had all fallen into the small white bottle.

Ye Chen checked it over once and, seeing that they were indeed true Essence Blood, sealed the little white bottle, flipped his palm, and stowed the bottle on his person.

"One hundred drops of Snow Liao Tribe Essence Blood obtained," Ye Chen was in a very good mood.

He even smiled at Xuan Chong and said, "Divine King Xuan Chong, thank you very much."

Being thanked by Ye Chen made Xuan Chong even more infuriated to the point of almost spitting out blood.

He thought to himself: "Do you think I wanted to give you my Essence Blood?!"

Xuan Chong didn't wish to speak another word to Ye Chen, nor did he want to stay in this humiliating place any longer, having already paid the stake, he directly flew away from the Slaughter Field without turning back.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, the Little Provincial Princess, Divine Venerable Meng Yue, and Sovereign Jia Lan among others stayed and talked for a while longer, and then also left the Slaughter Field.

The crowd slowly dispersed.

However, the incident where Ye Chen had a great battle with Xuan Chong, ultimately beating Xuan Chong so badly that he couldn't even retaliate, remained a topic of discussion among the spectators for a long time.

Eventually, through these people's accounts, the news spread to the ears of all disciples and elders in the Supreme Divine Institute.

Among the crowd.

However, no one noticed that Sima Liao of Snow Desert Divine Kingdom, while watching Ye Chen leave the Slaughter Field, had a mysterious cold glint hidden deep within his eyes.

"Unexpectedly, having Xuan Chong try to test Ye Chen turned out this way."

"Well then, at least it has reaffirmed that Ye Chen's capabilities are still within my expectations!"

"It appears, as Divine Dragon Mountain Sect Master Qin Yuntian said, killing Ye Chen on Heavenly God Mountain is going to require some effort. I need to prepare a few trump cards!"

The thoughts weighing on Sima Liao's mind revealed a shocking piece of information.

This person, ranked third among the top ten demon-level genius Divine Kings from the four major Divine Kingdoms and possessing combat power fierce enough to defeat countless Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables—"Sima Liao"—was actually affiliated with Divine Dragon Mountain Sect Master Qin Yuntian.

Originally, Qin Yuntian had said he would find someone among other strong Divine Kings from various Divine Kingdoms entering Heavenly God Mountain to deal with Ye Chen; unexpectedly, this Sima Liao was the candidate he had found!

Having left the Slaughter Field, Ye Chen directly returned to his own cave dwelling.

He did not continue to practice in the Earth Fiend Cultivation Room.

Ye Chen simply sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling, looking at the small white bottle in front of him containing one hundred drops of Xuan Chong's Essence Blood.

"There's barely over a month left before entering 'Heavenly God Mountain'. Now, with so many Divine Kings from the four major Divine Kingdoms coming to enter Heavenly God Mountain along with the Divine Kings from Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom, the competition will definitely be intensely fierce!"

"Not only must I enter Heavenly God Mountain and also return alive from it, I have another task to accomplish. It seems I need to prepare even stronger techniques."

"During the past year in the Earth Fiend Cultivation Room, my techniques have greatly improved. In the remaining month or so, I'll use it to properly cultivate the 'Taiyi Divine Power'!"

"First, let's activate one of the seven stars in the Star Disk using Xuan Chong's one hundred drops of Essence Blood!"

Whoosh.

At the thought from Ye Chen, his Divine Soul once again entered the Stars Tower.
