Primordial Star Scripture

This situation utterly terrified the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables of the Blood Wing Clan standing by!

They could never have imagined that Xueling Chan, who had been carefully nurtured by the Blood Origin Divine Master and the Blood Wing Clan, was no match for this Divine King before them.

If Xueling Chan had not only been at a disadvantage without any signs of already being defeated, the two might have already fled!

Just as their hands and feet were turning cold with fear, they heard Xueling Chan's anxious voice: "The two of you, join in!"

"Let's join forces and kill him together!"

"I still have my trump card that I've yet to use. If the three of us strike together, we can surely kill him!"

To their surprise, Xueling Chan sought help from the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables, asking them to join him in besieging Ye Chen!

Hearing Xueling Chan's words, the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables of the Blood Wing Clan were momentarily stunned and hesitated for a split second, but Xueling Chan's subsequent words immediately piqued their interest.

Xueling Chan said, "This Divine King has such power at his realm, he must have many treasures. After killing him, I'll let you each pick three items from him first!"

"We get to choose the treasures first?"

"Picking treasures from this mysterious Divine King?!"

Their minds and spirits were stirred.

They exchanged a glance and instantly decided: "Let's do it! We'll strike together!"

"If things go wrong and we can't defeat this Divine King, given Xueling Chan's current state, he can still hold on for a while, giving us a chance to escape and teleport to a safe area!"

"If the three of us, along with Xueling Chan's trump card, successfully kill this Divine King, it would be a huge gain!"

"Let's do it!"

With this thought, the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables of the Blood Wing Clan unleashed their divine power, rolling out like waves of smoke.

Both belonged to the top ranks in the Blood Wing Clan among Upper Immortal Divine Venerables, not ordinary beings.

They had even slain many other powerhouses before.

Having decided to act, they certainly aimed for a kill shot!

In an instant, both unleashed their strongest means.

Both transformed into their most powerful combat forms, while one unleashed a divine artifact resembling a scythe, and the other launched several divine beads that seemed ready to explode.

The next moment, both flashed toward Ye Chen.

At the same time, continuously being blasted backward by Ye Chen's attacks, Xueling Chan's eyes flashed with divine light, gritting his teeth, a third eye appeared on his large bat-like head. A golden flash appeared within it, from which a blood-red divine needle flew out directly aiming to kill Ye Chen.

Instantly, Ye Chen was surrounded by the onslaught of the three powerful Blood Wing Clan members!

Under such circumstances, if it were anyone else, their face would surely change dramatically.

But Ye Chen seemed to have anticipated this situation.

And the method Ye Chen had not yet used, this time, he finally brought it out.

This method was none other than the "Copper Gong Mallet" technique!

Bam.

The copper gong flashed, and the wooden mallet struck.

Something astonishing happened to Xueling Chan and the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables of the Blood Wing Clan.

The two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables charging towards Ye Chen, along with the divine artifacts in their hands, were instantly and completely immobilized in the void as the copper gong mallet struck!

Even Xueling Chan was immobilized in the void!

The Copper Gong Mallet was a divine object Ye Chen had obtained from the Abandoned Land of the prominent figures of the Heavenly God Mountain, and even though he couldn't fully wield all its divine might, it was still incredibly effective against the joint assault of the three!

Ye Chen had not brought out this technique sooner as he wanted to see what Xueling Chan could do as a Divine King. Now surrounded by their combined attack, he finally unleashed it!

Being immobilized by Ye Chen, Xueling Chan and the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables of the Blood Wing Clan were utterly horrified, their spirits crushed.

They had thought that if they couldn't defeat Ye Chen, they could at least hold out for a moment and use the "Ancient Heavenly Cauldron Order" to teleport to safety.

But they never anticipated that Ye Chen had such a powerful technique to immobilize them directly.

At this point, they couldn't move, let alone use the "Ancient Heavenly Cauldron Order" to teleport away.

If they had known it would turn out like this, those two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Blood Wing Clan would never have helped Xueling Chan against Ye Chen!

If Xueling Chan had known it would turn out like this, he would never have tried to kill Ye Chen for treasures in the fifth realm!

"It's over, we're finished."

Xueling Chan and the other two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables were instantly filled with despair.

Yet at this moment, Ye Chen did not immediately kill the three of them but instead focused his gaze on the blood-red divine needle that was Xueling Chan's last attack.

At that moment, even though Xueling Chan was immobilized, the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables were immobilized, and even the Divine Tower, contending with a thousand and one flying swords, was immobilized.

However, the blood-red Divine Needle managed to remain unfazed, continuing its assault toward Ye Chen!

"This Divine Needle is somewhat peculiar."

For this Divine Object that Xueling Chan revealed at the last moment and could escape the control of the copper gong and wooden hammer, Ye Chen couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Yet, although he felt peculiar, Ye Chen remained calm in the face of the blood-red Divine Needle coming at him.

At that moment, with Xueling Chan immobilized, the Divine Needle seemed affected as well. Despite continuing its assault toward Ye Chen, its force was insufficient to cause Ye Chen any harm.

With Stellar Power surging within Ye Chen, he quickly suppressed the blood-red Divine Needle, binding it within the void.

Then, with a surge of Divine Soul Power, Ye Chen erased the owner recognition Divine Sense left by Xueling Chan within the blood-red Divine Needle.

The blood-red Divine Needle turned into an unowned object.

Ye Chen then temporarily stored away the blood-red Divine Needle.

Time was limited with the copper gong and wooden hammer's immobilization, and he still needed to quickly deal with Xueling Chan and the two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables from the Blood Wing Clan, along with completing an important task.

Exploring the Divine Might of the blood-red Divine Needle would have to wait.

With this in mind, Ye Chen's gaze turned directly towards Xueling Chan and the other two immobilized in space.

A stick of incense later.

Xueling Chan and the two had completely vanished from this world, leaving behind a variety of items in front of Ye Chen.

During this time, Ye Chen had eliminated Xueling Chan and the two on the spot, using "Blue Extreme Iceflame" to burn their remains to ash.

However, before executing them, Ye Chen first looted their belongings and performed a Soul Search on them.

The items now arrayed before Ye Chen were the Divine Objects he retrieved from the three of them.

Among these were items they originally carried with them before coming to the Ancient Forbidden Grounds, as well as Divine Objects they scavenged from the ruins in the fourth domain.

These were quite valuable treasures.

But Ye Chen's attention wasn't on these items; instead, it was on a small, crystalline bottle.

Contained within this small, crystalline bottle were a hundred drops of Divine Essence Blood.

If anyone saw this Essence Blood, exuding unique Divine Light, they would immediately recognize it as Essence Blood unique to the Blood Wing Clan, the top-ranked among the five advanced life groups of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom!

These hundred drops of Essence Blood were the very ones Ye Chen extracted from Xueling Chan!

Ye Chen had significant use for these hundred drops of Blood Wing Clan Essence Blood!

The "Primordial Star Scripture" fifth chapter, "Taiyi Chapter," required Ye Chen to gather Essence Blood of corresponding combat power levels from seven types of advanced life groups to activate the seven stars within the Star Disk on the fifth layer of the Stars Tower, thereby entering the sixth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.

This required seven different advanced life groups' Essence Blood, with stipulations for Essence Blood from one being below the Heavenly Divine Venerable level, three at the Heavenly Divine Venerable level, two at the Immortal Divine Venerable level, and one at the Sovereign level.

Previously, at the Supreme Divine Institute, Ye Chen defeated Xuan Chong from the advanced life group "Snow Liao Tribe" and obtained the first Snow Liao Tribe's Heavenly Divine Venerable level Essence Blood.

It was precisely this first drop of Snow Liao Tribe's Essence Blood that activated one of the seven stars, enabling him to draw upon the Stellar Power within.

Now, Ye Chen could finally use the second type of Essence Blood—Immortal Divine Venerable level combat power Essence Blood from the Blood Wing Clan—to activate the second star within the Star Disk!

Earlier, although Ye Chen had encountered members of the Blood Wing Clan, he was with Cai Meng'er and others at the time, making it inconvenient to draw blood.

Now, being alone in this domain, Ye Chen had no qualms and promptly acquired the Blood Wing Clan Essence Blood!

"The deeper into the Ancient Forbidden Grounds I go, the more dangerous it becomes. It seems I need to activate the second star sooner to access more Stellar Power."

"The more Stellar Power I draw, the more potent my combat power will become, aiding me in breaching the more perilous domains ahead!"

Although Ye Chen successfully killed Xueling Chan in battle,

he remains ever vigilant.

On one hand, Xueling Chan's combat power is not vastly inferior to his, prompting Ye Chen to stay wary of others; on the other hand, the blood-red Divine Needle acquired from Xueling Chan makes Ye Chen aware that the copper gong and wooden hammer at their current stage can't immobilize everything.

Encountering something that can evade the immobilization of the copper gong and wooden hammer and is more formidable than the blood-red Divine Needle, the copper gong and wooden hammer alone won't suffice; other means will be necessary.

Thus, increasing "Stellar Power" is, of course, Ye Chen's most effective current strategy!

"Through Soul Search within Xueling Chan's memories, I learned that his Divine Needle was a gift from a significant figure known as the 'Blood Origin Divine Master.'

"This gifted him with numerous means, allowing him to withstand me for a moment."

"Moreover, according to Xueling Chan's Divine Soul memories, there's another Blood Wing Clan woman named Blood Flying Yan who also received teachings and a Divine Artifact from the Blood Origin Divine Master, and she's even stronger than Xueling Chan."

"Likely, I'll encounter Blood Flying Yan in the sixth domain."

"Clearly, I must further enhance my capabilities before completing my mission!"

Ye Chen murmured as he gazed at the first Ice Pool, not yet fully turned silver.
