Chapter 37 Unlucky Ye Chen, Crazy Chen Wei

The night was as dark as ink, and the mountain wind whimpered.

In a hidden cave, Ye Chen consumed the Dragon Python Fig, which he had accidentally obtained in a Secret Realm. It seemed his Luck had returned.

"Chen'er, quickly calm your mind and gather the Five Qi in your Dantian! Prepare for a Breakthrough!"

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on a bluestone, Spiritual Qi surging around him, a faint reddish vortex swirling above his head.

The immense medicinal power began to rapidly dissolve within his body.

Soon, Ye Chen entered a state of focus. The liquid Spiritual Qi lake within him surged, and his limbs and bones felt as if they were filled with new power.

"Condense!" Ye Chen low-roared.

The Flame Emperor Prison Breaking Skill was operated to its extreme, and Ye Chen's entire body glowed red, a sign of his Fire Spirit Body being fully activated.

The Spiritual Qi transformed from the Dragon Python Fig quickly gathered in Ye Chen's Dantian under his guidance: Foundation Establishment First Layer, Foundation Establishment Second Layer… Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

Just as Ye Chen thought he would stop there, a massive Mental Energy entered Ye Chen's Dantian, quickly condensing the remaining medicinal power that hadn't been absorbed yet and sending it into Ye Chen's Foundation.

"Master, Disciple has achieved Foundation Establishment!"

Ye Chen could not hide his excitement.

Ye Chen's Master had helped him at the critical moment, assisting him in successfully condensing a Fifth Grade Foundation and breaking through to Foundation Establishment First Layer in one go!

"…Not bad."

A weak but somewhat relieved voice came from the Ring Spirit.

"The Foundation is even more stable than expected. Consolidate it quickly and then leave. This place is not suitable for long stays."

Ye Chen adjusted his breathing as instructed, but his mind was already planning his return journey. With the Flame Emperor Prison Breaking Skill and his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was confident he could make a splash in the Wenxian Sect's Core Disciple assessment and reclaim everything he had lost.

Especially the humiliation Zhou Chen had inflicted upon him, he would get it all back!

After a brief period of adjustment, Ye Chen identified the direction and rapidly flew towards the Wenxian Sect.

Just as Ye Chen passed through a black pine forest, a bone-chilling killing intent suddenly locked onto him!

Swish!

A Demonic Qi-laden demonic flame, like a venomous snake, shot out from the shadows, heading straight for Ye Chen's face.

"Who?!"

Ye Chen was greatly alarmed, but his reaction was extremely swift. In haste, he activated the Flame Emperor Prison Breaking Skill, striking out with his crimson palms!

"Boom!"

The demonic flame and the crimson flame collided, and the enormous impact force sent Ye Chen flying several feet, his Qi and blood churning, and his sleeve instantly charred black.

Ye Chen staggered to the ground and looked up.

Under the moonlight, a one-armed young man with a twisted face appeared.

His eyes were filled with venomous hatred; it was Chen Wei of the Blood Demon Sect!

He stared intently at Ye Chen, his voice hoarse.

"Ye Chen! It really is you! Wenxian Sect's bastard! Avenge my severed arm and stolen treasure!!!"

Ye Chen looked bewildered.

"What stolen treasure? What arm? Your Excellency must have mistaken me for someone else!"

He didn't recognize the one-armed man in front of him, who looked insane and whose cultivation was clearly much higher than his own.

"Mistaken? Even if you were burned to ashes, I'd still recognize you!"

Chen Wei roared, his voice filled with humiliation.

"You pretended to be a second-generation rich kid in Qing'ang Mountain Market, acted like a pig to eat a tiger, broke my Blood Demonic Flame, and then even announced your name as Ye Chen!

"You did it, so do you dare to admit it? Today, I will make you wish for death but be unable to die! If I don't extract your Soul and refine your spirit, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

He now took Zhou Chen's words, spoken when he impersonated Ye Chen, as irrefutable proof.

Moreover, Zhou Chen had appeared in Ye Chen's likeness at the time, and with the Divine Concealment Art's concealment, their Auras were identical.

Intense hatred caused Chen Wei to completely lose his reason.

"Chen Yi, attack with me and kill him!"

Chen Wei stopped talking nonsense. His remaining left arm surged with Demonic Qi, and the terrifying pressure of Nascent Soul Six Layer Peak was unleashed without reservation.

Blood-red demonic flames rapidly ascended, their color deepening, transforming into a roaring blood python that slammed with full force towards Ye Chen.

"Blood Prison Soul Devour!"

Chen Yi, beside him, attacked simultaneously, unleashing his Nascent Soul Nine Layer cultivation without reservation.

Ye Chen's face drastically changed; both of their cultivations far surpassed his own!

Without reservation, he fully activated the Flame Emperor Prison Breaking Skill, and his Fire Spirit Body was activated.

Ye Chen's body was engulfed in raging flames, like a fire giant, as he met the two's attacks with his fists.

"Flame Emperor Mountain Split!"

However, even with a newly formed Fifth Grade Foundation, the Realm gap was like an abyss!

"Pfft—!"

The crimson flames were instantly swallowed by the blood python, and the terrifying residual power of the demonic flames heavily struck Ye Chen's chest.

A Profound Rank High Grade inner armor, a life-saving treasure on Ye Chen's body, flashed with light, instantly dimmed, and shattered inch by inch!

A metallic taste came from his mouth, followed by a large mouthful of fresh blood, and his sternum made a grating, teeth-aching sound.

The Fifth Grade Foundation vibrated incessantly, and the Spiritual Qi lake in his Dantian stirred up monstrous waves, almost collapsing!

Ye Chen's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into an ancient tree, which snapped in response!

"Ant! Die for me!"

A cruel glint flashed in Chen Wei's eyes, giving Ye Chen no chance to breathe.

Chen Yi also transformed into a blood shadow, rushing forward, condensing a dripping blood-red demonic blade in his hand, stabbing directly at Ye Chen's glabella.

He not only wanted to kill him but also to destroy Ye Chen's Soul!

Only then could he atone for Chen Wei's severed arm; otherwise, returning to the Blood Demon Sect, Chen Yi's fate for failing to protect his Master would only be worse.

Blood Demon—Soul Shadow Rending Void!

The shadow of death instantly enveloped Ye Chen!

"Chen'er!"

In the ring, the old voice let out an urgent, angry cry.

At the critical moment!

Buzz—!

The ring on Ye Chen's hand suddenly erupted with dazzling cyan light!

A Spiritual phantom with an ancient Aura suddenly appeared!

This phantom looked at Chen Wei with an indifference that seemed to look down on all living beings.

The Ring Spirit did not hesitate to burn its already dwindling Origin Soul Power to forcibly manifest.

The phantom's finger pointed at the rushing Chen Wei and Chen Yi, moving incredibly slowly yet with immense weight, pointing forward!

"Starfall—Annihilation Finger!"

That single point seemed to drain all the surrounding light and sound.

Time seemed to freeze for an instant.

A terrifying ripple, splitting into two, shot out silently.

There was no earth-shattering Aura.

It seemed to Transmigrate through space, accurately landing on Chen Yi's and Chen Wei's glabella!

The ferocious expression on Chen Wei's face instantly froze, and the excitement in his eyes turned to shock.

Chen Yi's body still maintained its strange forward-rushing posture, and at his glabella, there was only an insignificant small hole.

The next moment.

Like statues instantly petrified, they crashed heavily to the ground.

Both of their life forces were completely annihilated by this single finger!

They didn't even have time to let out a single scream!

Everything happened in a flash of lightning.

After completing this attack, the phantom on Ye Chen's body also instantly dissipated.

A severe pain originating from the depths of his Soul suddenly erupted in Ye Chen's mind!

"Ugh ah ah ah ah—!"

Ye Chen let out a heart-wrenching roar!

This pain was hundreds or thousands of times more intense than the pain of his Physical Body being injured!

It was as if a piece of his Divine Soul had been forcibly torn apart!
