Chapter 504: 461 Crossing the Sea of Lightning
At this moment, Ye Chen could no longer completely avoid the Spirit Thunder with his movement technique; it was simply not possible. The dense barrage of Spirit Thunder could only be resisted with various means.
Facing the terrifying purple Spirit Thunder, which tore through the void and slashed down furiously, thick as dozens of feet, Ye Chen looked up and his eyes shone brightly as he unleashed all Five Great Divine Arts.
Instantly, the light of fire, gold, water, wood, and earth, the glow of the Five Great Law Divine Skills, enveloped Ye Chen's entire body.
The endless Divine Art power on Ye Chen surged to the skies, even stirring up hundreds of feet high.
In the end, this sky-scorching terrifying Divine Art power directly clashed against the horrifying Spirit Thunder that struck from the heavens and earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire core area echoed with the explosive sounds of colliding True Qi.
Amidst the explosive sounds, Ye Chen, with Divine Art power that continued to surge skyward without weakening in the slightest against the terrifying Spirit Thunder, kept rushing towards the Qianye Platform he had set his sights on.
As Ye Chen surged forward at extreme speed, even more Law Spirit Thunder fell like a torrential downpour, bombarding him relentlessly.
And at this time, Ye Chen even employed a Swordsmanship Divine Art, the "Great Five Elements Sword Light", in addition to the Five Great Divine Arts.
Sword light interwove with thunder light.
It caused the depths of the Law Sea to surge with countless rays of light that cut through the void!
Nearer and nearer.
With all his techniques deployed, Ye Chen drew closer and closer to the Qianye Platform that was directly below the "Green Spirit Bottle".
Finally, with a long howl, bursting with True Qi, he completely landed in the center of the Qianye Platform that stretched dozens of feet in radius.
"Ye Chen has succeeded!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen traverse the vast sea of thunder and enter the most core area, all the martial artists exclaimed in shock.
The Lan Xi God King, Wucan God King, Lei Yun God King, and Divine Venerable Hong Zhu's eyes sparkled even more brightly.
From Ye Chen's straightforward move, these powerhouses had already seen an unbelievable True Qi power and techniques on him.
For a martial artist from a lower realm to possess such True Qi power and skills at the mid-stage of Rotating Pill Realm was astonishing even to the experienced powerhouses of the Divine Kingdoms.
Especially Ye Chen's Five Great Divine Arts of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, they gave these powerhouses an inexplicable feeling.
These formidable beings sensed that even if Ye Chen had not yet cultivated these Five Great Divine Arts to their limits, they were already inconceivably powerful. If he did master them completely, it was quite possible that Ye Chen could sweep away all the Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses!
Of course, this was incredibly shocking to them!
"Brother Ye Chen has succeeded."
"He really chose the most central Qianye Platform."
Seeing Ye Chen fly onto the Qianye Platform right beneath the Green Spirit Bottle, Little Provincial Princess Fang Luo's eyes also lit up, "Now it's my turn to choose."
She promptly stood up.
After nodding her little head to Divine Venerable Hong Zhu and the three Divine Kings, she fixed her gaze on a Qianye Platform right beside where Ye Chen was.
Another massive stone platform directly below the Green Spirit Bottle.
Then, with a flicker of her body, Little Fang Luo also shot into the Law Sea in an instant.
Unlike Ye Chen, who resisted the Law Spirit Thunder with True Qi movement skills and techniques, Little Provincial Princess had no intention of resisting, as it was not yet time to absorb the Law Force within the thunder while outside the Qianye Platform.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The instant Little Provincial Princess flew into the Law Sea, three small bronze bells flew out from her body.
These three bells, only the size of a palm, immediately started orbiting around Little Provincial Princess once they flew out. The bells jingled gently, emitting a hazy light that shrouded her entire being.
Once the hazy light from the three bells enveloped Little Provincial Princess, even the wildly raging Law Spirit Thunder in the Law Sea could not get within inches of her.
Clearly, these three bells were incredibly top-tier treasures!
If it weren't for the requirement to endure the strikes of Law Spirit Thunder for final cultivation, Little Provincial Princess wouldn't need to fear the Law Spirit Thunder within the Law Sea at all with these three bells.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the protection of the three bells, Little Provincial Princess was literally without any danger, instantly landing on the Qianye Platform that was a little over ten feet away from Ye Chen and to his immediate left.
Ye Chen was seated in meditation on the Qianye Platform, looking at the three bells fluttering around Little Provincial Princess, and felt a slight shock in his heart.
Having reached the Qianye Platform himself, the first step of selecting the platform had ended. The second step of officially beginning cultivation under the bombardment of Law Force had not started yet, and the Law Spirit Thunder had stopped bombarding him.
He was of course very aware of Little Provincial Princess's approach.
Ye Chen could clearly see the miraculous nature of these three bells.
Seeing Ye Chen look over, the Little Provincial Princess giggled, retracted the three bells, which landed on her fair, delicate palm, dimming their light.
"Brother Ye Chen, I've come over too," the Little Provincial Princess called out to Ye Chen. "These three bells are a set of Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts, called the 'Xuni Bells.' They can withstand attacks from True Qi and can also resist physical and Divine Soul attacks."
Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact!
It's something that Divine King Level beings frequently use, a level above ordinary Divine Artifacts!
Ye Chen couldn't help but feel moved, the Little Provincial Princess, being the daughter of the East Territory King, could use Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts so casually.
The Ice Snow Jade Pendant that he obtained from the sub-palace of the Icebound Temple was merely a high-grade Divine Artifact and didn't reach the level of Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts.
Probably only by entering the main hall of the Icebound Temple and truly obtaining the legacy of the Ice-Seal Divine King could he possibly obtain one or two Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts.
However, Ye Chen didn't feel too envious of the Little Provincial Princess.
He had two treasures on him that the Little Provincial Princess would probably be extremely envious of if she saw them. Discover hidden tales at empire
That is, the Primordial Star Scripture and the Stars Divine Tower containing the Primordial Star Scripture.
Ye Chen had a premonition that the Primordial Star Scripture was a miraculous Cultivation Technique that absolutely surpassed the Divine Venerable Level.
As for the Stars Divine Tower, Ye Chen knew even more that within it surged countless starlights, as if housing an entire starry universe, undoubtedly stronger than the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact "Green Spirit Bottle" above his head and far surpassing ordinary Divine Artifacts and Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts.
In contemplating the one who left behind the Primordial Star Scripture and the Starlight Tower, the Zi Ji Star Lord, Ye Chen reckoned that his status was much higher than that of the East Territory King, and it was even very likely stronger than the ruler of the entire Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation.
Possessing these two amazing objects, Ye Chen naturally did not envy the Little Provincial Princess.
What he needed to do was to make good use of these two treasures to strengthen himself and, at the same time, take advantage of other cultivation opportunities to grow stronger.
One day in the future, Ye Chen wished to meet the East Territory King, the ruler of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation, and even the Zi Ji Star Lord who left him the Primordial Star Scripture, to ask why he received such a treasure!
After Ye Chen and the Little Provincial Princess consecutively selected their Qianye Platforms, all the other people followed suit according to their rankings, each choosing their Qianye Platforms.
After the Little Provincial Princess, it was Tian Li's turn to choose.
Tian Li initially wanted to resist the pervasive Law Spirit Thunder with his techniques just like Ye Chen, flying directly to one of the Qianye Platforms beside the Little Provincial Princess in the deepest area.
But when he really used his techniques to confront the pervasive Law Spirit Thunder, Tian Li realized just how formidable these Law Spirit Thunders were.
Even after he penetrated into the deepest area, he was struck by five Law Spirit Thunders, each dozens of meters thick, that sent him flying hundreds of meters away. If he hadn't quickly activated a magical treasure to defend against the Law Spirit Thunders, he would have almost dropped into the Law Sea, getting eliminated before he even started cultivating!
This incident scared Tian Li into a cold sweat!
It also surprised the countless Martial Artists watching him choose the Qianye Platforms by the side of the Law Sea.
At that moment, these Martial Artists and Tian Li remembered that in the previous three Signs of Life tests, Ye Chen was far ahead of everyone in True Qi Life Vital Sign, very close to the Heavenly Saint Realm of Great Perfection.
Just because Ye Chen could withstand the Law Spirit Thunder and fly straight in didn't mean that others could withstand it.
In the end, Tian Li finally reached the Qianye Platform beside the Little Provincial Princess by relying on a treasure.
This situation left Tian Li, who had wanted to show off in front of the Little Provincial Princess, with a somewhat flushed face.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After Tian Li made his selection, all the others consecutively chose their Qianye Platforms.
From those thousands of Martial Artists stepping into the Law Sea did they realize the horror of the Law Spirit Thunder that struck down from the sky and how miraculous it was for Ye Chen to penetrate to the core area without any treasures.
Boom!
One late-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist also tried to fly deeper to get closer to the Green Spirit Bottle and choose a more precious Qianye Platform; however, three terrifying Law Spirit Thunders instantly shattered his Protective True Qi, and even one of his defensive treasures was directly destroyed.
In a hurry, the late-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist landed on a nearby Qianye Platform, narrowly escaping the crisis.
Even after settling down, his face was pale with fright.
Rumble!
Another mid-stage Heavenly Saint Martial Artist, in his determination to choose a more valuable Qianye Platform, was instantly struck by five huge bolts of Law Spirit Thunder, each dozens of meters thick, and was directly blasted a thousand meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He ended up falling into the Law Sea.
And the moment he fell into the Law Sea, a burst of light swept him up and returned him to the edge of the Law Sea, next to the other Martial Artists.
The Lanxi God King, who presided over the second cultivation site, then declared, "Falling into the Law Sea means the end of this second cultivation opportunity. Stay on the shore, and after everyone else's cultivation is over, you can participate in the second assessment to see if you can get the next cultivation opportunity."
Before the second cultivation session even began, the chance to cultivate was directly lost.
Seeing this, those who were picking their Qianye Platforms later all showed shocked expressions and ended up picking platforms they could bear, slightly further away from the Green Spirit Bottle.
AfPicking precious Qianye Platforms was important, but not losing the opportunity to cultivate was even more crucial!
Eventually, apart from three Martial Artists who fell into the Law Sea during the process of choosing their Qianye Platforms and thus lost their cultivation opportunity, all the remaining Martial Artists selected their respective Qianye Platforms.
And at this point, the Lanxi God King finally announced that the second step of True Qi cultivation in the Qianye Platforms was officially starting!
