He was prepared for this day.
Xiao Yan's expression was fierce, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
“There are many powerful auras outside. This time, it seems that the Soul Palace is really planning to massacre the Starfall Pavilion as a warning to others…” The Iron Sword Venerable’s expression remained unchanged, but his voice was also tinged with solemnity.
"Just a few more days. In just a few more days, Teacher will wake up, and then..." Xiao Yan clenched his fists, feeling somewhat unwilling.
Of all those present, only Venerable Feng remained calm. With a change of hand seals, the Starfall Array in the sky rippled, and then, as space slowly distorted, everything outside was revealed to everyone.
"Hiss... This Soul Palace has actually put up such a lineup!" Even though they were already mentally prepared, everyone in the Starfall Pavilion couldn't help but gasp when they saw the Soul Palace's powerful figures standing in the pitch black outside.
"The two leading the team should be the Black and White Celestial Venerables of the Soul Palace... I didn't expect the Soul Palace to send out five Celestial Venerable level experts at once. They really think highly of us..." Venerable Feng let out a long breath and said.
Five Heavenly Venerable level experts with strength of five-star Dou Zun or above, plus dozens of elders and protectors from the Soul Hall. With such a lineup, let alone the Starfall Pavilion, probably only forces of the Heavenly Nether Sect could withstand it!
"Everyone, prepare to fight to the death..."
For a moment, everyone in the Starfall Pavilion was plunged into despair.
Just as Venerable Feng and the others had resolved to fight to the death, suddenly, a calm voice rang in everyone's ears...
"Going to your death? Well, that's not necessary..."
The sound was so sudden that even Venerable Feng and Xiao Yan were startled.
Then, they saw a young man dressed in light green clothing standing beside them...
"Brother Ye?!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior.
Chapter 395 The Descent of the Heavenly Dragon
Ye Chen's appearance gave the people of Starfall Pavilion a glimmer of hope.
Of course, it was really just a sliver of hope.
Even though Ye Chen has broken through, even though he directly broke through two stars to reach the six-star Dou Zun, there is still a huge gap between him and the group of people from the Soul Palace outside.
"Young Master Ye, after our battle begins, I hope you can find an opportunity to leave with that old fellow Yao Chen and Xiao Yan..." Venerable Feng looked at Ye Chen and said in a deep voice.
In his mind, whether Ye Chen or his Starfall Pavilion were present or not, they were doomed to perish this time. Since that was the case, it was better to preserve the last spark of hope so that they might have a chance to take revenge in the future.
Xiao Yan's face turned ashen, but he remained silent.
Looking at the atmosphere of utter desperation hanging over this group of people, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile...
"Elder Feng, there's no need for that. Although the Soul Hall members are strong, we might not necessarily lose..."
Ye Chen's words made many people's eyes light up.
Does this young guild leader of Danta have reinforcements?
In an instant, the atmosphere of despair in the arena dissipated considerably...
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, then said to Venerable Feng, "Let's go. If those guys outside get impatient, they might force their way in through the array, which would inevitably affect the interior of the Starfall Pavilion..."
The battle between Dou Zun is often earth-shattering, and it is very possible that a single battle could destroy the entire Starfall Pavilion, and the disciples of Starfall Pavilion would also suffer.
only……
"Young Master, shouldn't we use the formation to buy some time? Would your help arrive in time?" an elder from the Starfall Pavilion couldn't help but ask.
"No need," Ye Chen said calmly.
He didn't mention that he had no reinforcements at all, otherwise these people probably wouldn't have been able to handle it...
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng nodded, his hand seals shifting, and the light barrier in the sky trembled, revealing a portal.
Ye Chen stepped out of the formation first.
However, he had just stepped out of the space when he felt a silent attack coming from the side.
"Heh, the people of the Soul Palace are still as shameless as ever."
After blocking the opponent's sneak attack, Ye Chen coldly looked at the black mist that filled the sky and earth and mocked.
"Ok?"
The person who made the move was a five-star Dou Zun from the Soul Hall. He was quite surprised to see that Ye Chen had broken through his attack so easily.
"A six-star Dou Zun? When did the Starfall Pavilion have a powerhouse of this level?"
The Black and White Celestials immediately recognized Ye Chen's cultivation level and couldn't help but express their surprise.
However, the Soul Palace was quite familiar with Ye Chen's information, so someone quickly recognized his identity.
"He's Ye Chen, the young guild leader of the Pill Tower?!"
Upon hearing the name, the Black and White Celestials were first taken aback, then overjoyed.
"Haha, I never expected this person to appear here. It really is heaven's help! If we can bring this person back, the Palace Master will surely be very happy!" Black Heavenly Venerable, dressed in black, laughed.
Beside him, Bai Tianzun, dressed in white, glanced at Ye Chen and couldn't help but nod, saying, "As expected of the number one genius alchemist of the Pill Tower, to have the cultivation of a six-star Dou Zun at such a young age, it's no wonder that old ghost Zhaixing fell into your hands!"
At this moment, a Soul Hall expert who had once narrowly escaped from the ancient ruins whispered, "Lord Celestial Venerable, back when the ruins were contested, Ye Chen was only a four-star Dou Zun..."
Bai Tianzun: "...
... "
Why the hell didn't you say so sooner!
He cursed the fool in his heart, then Bai Tianzun pretended to be calm and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then we must not let this brat leave this time, otherwise he will definitely become a major threat to my Soul Palace in the future!"
Ye Chen looked speechlessly at the group of babbling idiots opposite him, then said to Venerable Feng and the others beside him, "Don't make a move for a while, just keep an eye on them and don't let them escape easily..."
"...?"
Venerable Feng and the others nodded, all with a puzzled look on their faces.
Given the current disparity in strength, are you sure we won't be the ones running away later?
Ye Chen looked at the group of guys opposite him who seemed to have him cornered, and couldn't help but mutter to himself...
"Tianlong, if I remember correctly, this is a top-tier divine beast of the dragon race in the Great Thousand World, second only to the True Dragon. Moreover, a beginner-level Battle Saint should be able to easily wipe out this group of guys in a minute..."
Since his Star Domain Technique was activated, Ye Chen hadn't used it even once. And this time, it was precisely a perfect opportunity…
"What, kid, want to surrender?" Seeing that Ye Chen and the Starfall Pavilion members on the other side had no fighting spirit, even the Black and White Celestial Venerable was a little confused.
Ye Chen chuckled softly, "Surrender, huh? Fine, I'll give you one chance to surrender..."
"You brat, have you been scared out of your wits?" Black Heavenly Venerable's face darkened, and he said coldly.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen said regretfully, "It seems you're giving up this precious opportunity..."
"So……"
"Dragon Soul True Form!"
A golden light shot into the sky from Ye Chen's body...
Then, it was as if the entire sky had been torn apart...
"Ow...!"
A deafening dragon roar suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, a colossal dragon, gleaming with blinding light, slowly emerged from the cracked sky, stretching out its massive body within the light.
The dragon was enveloped in golden light, its scales shimmering with a mysterious luster. Its winding body was powerful and vigorous, seemingly containing destructive power. Ancient, naturally formed patterns were engraved on its scales, making it look exceptionally mysterious.
The celestial dragon descended upon the world, its terrifying might sweeping across the land. The entire Tianxing Mountain Range, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was trembled by this oppressive force. Countless demonic beasts trembled and knelt on the ground, burying their heads deep in the earth, bowing and submitting to the supreme emperor…
"What...what is this?" Feeling the fear from the depths of their souls, everyone in the Soul Palace felt their souls frozen, unable to move even a finger.
"Roar!!!"
The earth trembled, and thunder roared.
With a roar, dozens of people in the Soul Palace could not withstand the terrifying dragon's cry and instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"A Dou Sheng?! A dragon of Dou Sheng level? Could it be a powerful figure from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan...?"
At this moment, both the Black and White Celestials were frantic with worry.
Who could have imagined that the massacre of the Star Pavilion, something they considered a sure thing, would turn out to be such a terrifying turn of events!
Fighting Saint!
Moreover, he is a Battle Saint from the Dragon Clan!
How could Ye Chen possibly summon such a terrifying powerhouse so casually?
---Aside---
One update today...
Chapter 396 The Central Plains Shaken
Facing a Dragon Clan Battle Saint, the Soul Hall group had absolutely no chance of resistance.
Of course, the Soul Palace was not unprepared. After all, Yao Chen had been rescued for a long time, and if he were to be resurrected, he would likely return to his peak cultivation level.
A peak-level Dou Zun can still turn the tide at crucial moments, so the Soul Palace has made all the necessary preparations for coming to the Starfall Pavilion this time.
With his last ounce of strength, the Black and White Celestial Venerable crushed the spatial jade talisman in his hand...
A pitch-black wormhole rapidly took shape, and from within it came a cold voice.
"You bunch of useless trash, in the end you even had to have me take action..."
On the other side of the spatial wormhole, inside a pitch-black palace, two figures sitting on the throne suddenly exuded a terrifying aura.
Eight Heavenly Venerables imprisoned the land, Nine Heavenly Venerables brought demonic rain!
This is the second of the nine Heavenly Venerables who oversee the Human Palace among the three main halls of the Soul Palace!
Although they were the two weakest, they both possessed the cultivation level of an eight-star peak Dou Zun, comparable to Queen Medusa, Cai Die.
Sensing the spatial distress signal sent by the Black and White Celestials, the two cursed their incompetence in their hearts while preparing to set off to provide assistance.
However, before he could finish speaking, the terrifying aura unique to the ninth-tier dragon race surged forth through the spatial wormhole...
"I'll circle you and give you a cross..."
"Ninth-tier dragons? You damned bastards, are you trying to kill me?!"
Terrified, the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Venerables didn't hesitate at all and attacked simultaneously, shattering the spatial wormhole in one strike, fearing that the other side would rush through the wormhole and kill them as well!
Upon witnessing this scene in the Tianxing Mountains, the Black and White Celestial Venerables were filled with despair.
Then, with a mere flick of its tail, the golden dragon in the sky caused the surviving members of the Soul Hall to feel the entire sky darken, and then everything vanished...
Rumble!
Even though Ye Chen had tried his best to control the power of this attack, the mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles from the location of the Starfall Pavilion was still reduced to ruins by this attack.
Not only the people from the Soul Palace, but countless magical beasts throughout the entire mountain range also suffered, their bodies reduced to nothing by this attack!
On the mountain peak, the people of Star Pavilion stared in disbelief at the scene that resembled the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth.
When everything calmed down and the terrifying dragon's might in the sky disappeared, Xiao Yan and the others finally recovered from their shock and looked at the young man standing in front of them with even more astonishment...
"A Battle Saint?"
"Brother Ye, was that... really a Dou Sheng?"
Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems my first appearance with this Star Domain Technique was quite effective...
However, looking at the dimmed star field within his Star Chart, Ye Chen sighed slightly at the terrifying energy consumption.
"To restore the star spirits within the star field, it would probably require at least a thousand points of star essence..."
One thousand points of star essence, which requires ten conversions, or at least ten days, can summon a ninth-tier celestial dragon for one minute. In that sense, it's worth it.
"A six-star Dou Zun can summon Dou Sheng-level combat power. It seems that the Pill Tower is really going to prosper this time!" Venerable Feng looked at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes and sighed inwardly.
Although the Pill Tower certainly has Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level fighters, each additional fighter of that level would be a huge boost for the Pill Tower.
<
Moreover, Ye Chen's current strength is only at the six-star Dou Zun level, so no one would doubt that he could break through to the Dou Sheng level.
