Primordial Star Scripture

They pursued Ye Chen for an entire day.

In the end, after attempting to encircle, blockade, burn True God energy and even deploying Divine Artifacts to chase, they still couldn't catch up to Ye Chen who continuously escaped using the Ice Snow Jade Pendant. Eight of the remaining nine True God Hunters were left with no choice but to give up.

There wasn't much time left for the trial. Continuing like this, they feared they might not get any Reward Points at all.

"This Ye Chen is really tough to deal with; he has such a powerful Divine Artifact Treasure!"

"Although the Reward Points on him are tempting, there's nothing we can do if we can't get them. If we keep chasing him, we might miss out on the points from other martial artists from the outside world."

Eventually, eight of the Ice Wing Tribe True God Hunters turned to search for other martial artists with Reward Points in their Blood Cards, completely giving up the pursuit of Ye Chen.

The only one who still insisted on pursuing Ye Chen was Bing Ao, the True God of the Six Tribulations.

Bing Ao couldn't believe it: "This Ye Chen, even if his Divine Artifact is formidable, given his realm, using the artifact must deplete a lot of his true qi. How can he manage to be on the run for four straight days without any break?"

"Keep chasing! I refuse to believe he can keep running away!"

What this Six Tribulations True God Bing Ao didn't know was that Ye Chen had something else besides the Ice Snow Jade Pendant—a treasure he obtained after killing the Fat and Skinny Holy Saints in the Five Elements Mountain: over twenty drops of "Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid."

This Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid could restore a martial artist's depleted true qi very quickly.

One drop could instantly replenish the completely exhausted true qi of a powerhouse at the late stage of Heaven Saint.

Ye Chen's newly cultivated "Taiyuan Divine Pill" was immensely powerful, with an astonishing amount and recovery rate of true qi. Coupled with the more than twenty drops of "Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid" he had, after being chased by the nine True God Hunters for four days, Ye Chen had only used up eight drops, still having more than a dozen left.

If this continued, even if Bing Ao pursued him until the seven days of trials ended, Ye Chen wouldn't let him catch up.

Bing Ao, who was completely unwilling to give up on Ye Chen's Reward Points, became increasingly anxious as he chased.

When time reached the last day of the trial, and it was about to end soon, Bing Ao finally realized that he absolutely couldn't catch up to Ye Chen like this.

At that moment, after struggling a bit on his face, Bing Ao called out to Ye Chen from afar, "Young friend Ye Chen, I will no longer chase you. Can we discuss something that is greatly beneficial to both of us?"

"If you don't trust me, I can stop first."

After Bing Ao called out from a distance, he indeed stopped.

"Discuss something greatly beneficial to both of us?" Being chased by Bing Ao and the other eight True God Hunters, Ye Chen hadn't had much energy to kill more Ice Wing tribe members he encountered while escaping in recent days. Especially since he had spent quite a bit of his precious "Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid", Ye Chen had long hoped that Bing Ao, the last to insist on the chase, would give up.

To Ye Chen's surprise, when Bing Ao gave up, he didn't leave but actually spoke out, wanting to discuss something with him.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, but seeing that Bing Ao had indeed stopped, he also stopped the Ice Snow Jade Pendant from a distance.

Of course, Ye Chen wasn't the slightest bit careless and didn't come out of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

The one facing him was a True God of the Six Tribulations; no matter what the other party was planning, he had to be extremely cautious.

Seeing Ye Chen's wary demeanor, Bing Ao couldn't help but smile wryly.

As a Six Tribulations True God, after pursuing Ye Chen for several days and now that the trial was about to end without having caught up, he really didn't have the energy to keep fighting with Ye Chen.

"Young friend Ye Chen," Bing Ao started, signaling his goodwill, "To be able to escape from us nine True God Hunters, and even previously eliminating one of our True Gods, is truly impressive. I am Bing Ao of the Ice Wing Tribe, a Six Tribulations True God, and I feel quite ashamed."

"Senior Bing Ao, just speak frankly. We are all participating in this trial according to the Heavenly Cloud Venerable's requirements; no need for courtesy with me," Ye Chen's voice transmitted from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Bing Ao smiled wryly and nodded, "Since you know we are all participating in the trial at the command of the Heavenly Cloud Venerable, let me talk about the matter I mentioned earlier, which would be greatly beneficial to both of us."

"The reason we hunt you and other front-runners from the outside world is because the Heavenly Cloud Venerable decreed that if we eliminate any of you high-ranking martial artists, we can obtain Reward Points corresponding to your trial points from you."

"Friend Ye Chen, you have more than four thousand Reward Points on you, far surpassing all other martial artists who entered the Ice God Mountain with you. Just eliminating you would be enough to exchange for four precious treasures! And since you eliminated one of our True Gods, your location has been exposed on our Blood Card, so we were all racing to hunt you down."

The True God Hunters also get treasure rewards?

Like I can get special rewards from the Blood Cards in their hands?

Ye Chen finally learned the reason behind these True God Hunters' mobilization.

It turns out they were also motivated by treasures from the Heavenly Cloud Venerable.

Ye Chen also realized why the nine True God Hunters had successively located him. It turns out after he eliminated Bing Luo, his position was exposed on the other True God Hunters' Blood Cards.

But Ye Chen was puzzled, "Senior Bing Ao, what is the matter that would be greatly beneficial to both of us that you mentioned?"

Bing Ao laughed, "Young friend Ye Chen, even if I eliminate you and obtain more than four thousand Reward Points from you, it does not affect your trial points. It only means that your trial is over and you no longer have the chance to accumulate trial points in the Ice God Mountain."

Ye Chen nodded.

Indeed, as the Lan Xi God King had said, every martial artist eliminated from the competition merely ended their trial, and the points accumulated prior were not erased but maintained. The Reward Points gained by these True God Hunters of the Ice Wing Tribe, however, had nothing to do with them.

Ye Chen had already guessed what Bing Ao was about to propose.

Sure enough, Bing Ao said, "Now that we've reached the last day of the trial, there's not much time left for the competition. Ye Chen, you've been pursued by me all this time and have hardly had the energy to snatch the white card from my fellow tribesmen. Why not make a deal with me?"

"I can let you pick two Divine Artifact Treasures from my collection in exchange for deliberately getting eliminated once and giving me your more than four thousand Reward Points."

"This way, Ye Chen, you can obtain two treasures, while I can exchange for four treasures. Deducting the two treasures I give to you, I too can gain an additional two treasures. We'll both be happy, what do you say?"

This Six Tribulations True God Bing Ao had actually thought of a profit-sharing scheme with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen glanced at Bing Ao.

Bing Ao's proposal was indeed beneficial to both parties. If Ye Chen obtained two treasures from him, even if he were to be eliminated afterward, he wouldn't lose anything and would end up with two treasures for free.

Otherwise, if they continued at this rate, even if he emerged unscathed, he would have no chance of gaining any more treasures.

Moreover, since Bing Ao was a Six Tribulations True God, the treasures he possessed should also be of no small value. By trading with him, the two could also make each other's acquaintance.

With this in mind, Ye Chen was already considering agreeing to the trade with Bing Ao.

However, Ye Chen naturally wanted to see what Divine Artifact Treasures Bing Ao had first.

When Bing Ao waved his hand grandly, displaying all his treasures and introducing them one by one, Ye Chen's eyes lit up upon seeing two of the items.

...

Outside Ice God Mountain.

As the seven days of the second trial location were about to end, more than five thousand martial artists who had entered the Ice God Mountain had mostly been eliminated by the people of the Ice Wing Tribe!

Fang Hua was among them.

However, at this moment, Fang Hua's expression was very relaxed. Although he had been eliminated, he had accumulated enough points before the elimination. His trial points had reached 1,103 points, and he barely managed to qualify for the third training location he had longed for.

Looking at the Extreme Heaven Spirit List in the void with great ease, Fang Hua said, "Brother Ye Chen is still ranked first on the Extreme Heaven Spirit List, and he even eliminated a True God of the Ice Wing Tribe!"

At this time, on the Extreme Heaven Spirit List, behind Ye Chen's trial points, there was a striking Blood Card symbol.

This Blood Card symbol had every eliminated martial artist asking its meaning. Upon hearing that it signified Ye Chen eliminating a True God of the Ice Wing Tribe and earning a chance to exchange for a special treasure left by Heavenly Cloud Venerable in the Ice God Mountain, every eliminated martial artist was both shocked and envious.

Fang Hua was, of course, aware of the significance of the Blood Card symbol.

When he thought of the dozens of martial artists who had been eliminated from the Ice God Mountain mentioning that they had witnessed the nine True God Hunters of the Ice Wing Tribe chasing Ye Chen in the ice caves of the Ice God Mountain, not even halting their pursuit upon seeing him, Fang Hua was even more astonished.

Fang Hua speculated that the nine great True God Hunters of the Ice Wing Tribe's pursuit of Ye Chen must be related to that Blood Card symbol behind Ye Chen's name.

It was very likely that Ye Chen's elimination of a True God Hunter had triggered the frenzied pursuit of the other nine hunters!

"Brother Ye Chen seems to have worked another great miracle in this second trial," Fang Hua mused.

"Once he comes out, I must ask him about what happened inside."

"The seven days are almost over; Brother Ye Chen and the Little Provincial Princess, along with the last few who haven't come out of the Ice God Mountain, should be coming out soon."

As Fang Hua was lost in his thoughts, a flash of light swept across the Extreme Heaven Spirit List and another Blood Card symbol suddenly appeared behind Ye Chen's name.

This indicated that Ye Chen had eliminated another True God Hunter of the Ice Wing Tribe!

"What's going on?"

Not just Fang Hua, but the other eliminated martial artists were also surprised by such a last-minute change during the end of the seven-day trial.

While they were still in shock, on the Extreme Heaven Spirit List, a flash of light also appeared behind the name of the Little Provincial Princess, Fang Luo, displaying a Blood Card symbol.

"The Little Provincial Princess eliminated a True God Hunter of the Ice Wing Tribe too?!"

This continuous change in the situation at the last moment completely stunned those martial artists that had been eliminated earlier.

In the midst of their astonishment, the teleportation array leading in and out of the Ice God Mountain flickered with light, and Ye Chen's figure appeared directly in the center of the array.

Soon after Ye Chen's appearance, "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh," the Little Provincial Princess, Tian Li, and the rest who were still in the Ice God Mountain, were all transported out as well.
