Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 220

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't want to appear too powerful. He didn't want to become the main force in "Xiao Yan saving his father." He preferred to let his girlfriend do the work, while he would just offer encouragement from the sidelines.

"The Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu has always been one to repay kindness. You saved the Ancient Dragon Clan from danger this time. This kindness, along with everything that has happened before, will never be forgotten by any member of the clan. No matter what trouble you get into, the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu will always be your friend." Zi Yan gazed at Ye Chen with her beautiful eyes and said these words, which were completely out of character for her.

Perhaps noticing Ye Chen's surprised gaze, Zi Yan instantly lost her composure, stuck out her tongue, and said mischievously, "Hehe, this is what the elder said, I'm just borrowing it."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I won't say any more."

Although Zi Yan is the Dragon Emperor and her word is law, she still needs to pay attention to the opinions of the elders when it comes to important matters concerning the race.

Ye Chen had refused before because he was afraid that Zi Yan would force a decision, which would cause dissatisfaction among the others...

But if all the dragon elders have approved these, then it doesn't matter.

With the addition of the Ancient Void Dragon, at least the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan will calm down considerably. After all, their main enemies are still the other ancient races, and also that...

The Jade Emperor of the Western Paradise...

"Let's leave these matters as they are for now. However, soon it will be the day of the alignment of the nine stars, which occurs once every thousand years, and the day when the tides of heaven and earth descend. That day will also be the day when the Pure Lotus Demon Flame descends into the world. At that time, I'm afraid all the top forces on the entire continent will be alarmed. I need Ziyan to help me obtain this Pure Lotus Demon Flame!"

Given Ye Chen's relationship with Zi Yan, he could naturally discuss this matter directly. Although he would certainly have a lot of support around him, and the Pill Tower Ancestor would definitely appear, with Zi Yan's assistance, his chances of success would be much greater.

Zi Yan nodded firmly without hesitation and said, "I know, I'll definitely go! And I'll give you a surprise..."

Seeing the little girl raise her finger with a mysterious look, Ye Chen smiled gently, "Alright, then I'll be waiting for your surprise..."

……

……

After leaving Ancient Dragon Island, Ye Chen did not go to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, but returned directly to the Pill Tower.

After all, he still had many things to prepare before the Pure Lotus Demon Flame descended into the world, such as refining the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill...

Although Ye Chen's current alchemy skills have already made the success rate of refining ninth-grade precious pills quite considerable, the Nine Yin Yellow Spring Pill is clearly different. The powerful yin and cold energy it contains means that the refining process will be extremely troublesome.

After a month of effort, Ye Chen finally succeeded in refining the pill. Looking at the small black snake in his hand, which he had sealed with the Three Thousand Starry Sky Fire but which was still constantly attacking the fire curtain, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"This little thing is quite fierce..."

Feeling a chill rise from the soles of his feet to his heart, Ye Chen exhaled a long breath, which immediately turned into ice pillars and fell down with a crackling sound.

Beside him, Xuan Kongzi, who had been watching Ye Chen refine the medicine, smiled and said, "Now everything is ready..."

All we need to do after that is wait for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame to be born.

As for whether or not one can truly obtain it, that depends on human effort and leaving the rest to fate. After all, in all its previous appearances, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has never been truly subdued…

Given the ancient history of the Pill Tower, it has naturally experienced several instances of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame descending upon the world, and there are many ancient books on the subject. Therefore, Ye Chen has indeed learned quite a bit from them.

Xuan Kongzi was now truly speechless about his disciple.

Previously, Xuan Kongzi had forced back the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan with the Pill Tower, and he thought that was already terrifying enough.

But after only a few days away from the Pill Tower, his cultivation level has doubled upon his return. This is beyond terrifying; it's like they're leaving him no way out!

Looking at himself, after hundreds of years of cultivation, he had only barely broken through to the Dou Sheng realm by chance, and even now, he had only just stabilized his initial Dou Sheng cultivation...

Compared to Ye Chen's breakthrough speed, which was as easy as eating and drinking, I was simply a piece of trash!

Of course, Xuan Kongzi wasn't without confidence. At least compared to his two old buddies, he was already far superior.

For some reason, lately both Xuan Yi and Tian Lei Zi have been keeping their distance from him, making Xuan Kong Zi realize the fragility of friendship...

Chapter 487 Demonic Flame Descends!

For the rest of the time, Ye Chen had some free time.

The news of the demonic fire's descent has already begun to circulate among all the top powers in the Central Continent, and some strange phenomena have begun to appear in the land where it descended.

Danta has already begun sending people to investigate the situation...

Of course, it wasn't just the Dan Tower Alliance that took this action; some ancient sects that had previously kept a low profile in the Central Continent also turned their attention to that area.

The emergence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has attracted the attention of most of the forces in the Central Continent, whether open or covert, that have the power to vie for it!

This surging undercurrent continued for about five days...

Inside the inner city of Saint Pill City, Ye Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on a solitary peak, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and gazed at the distant sky.

At this moment, two crescent moons quietly appeared in the sky, one above the other!

At the same instant, in the starry sky, nine dazzling stars also slowly moved under countless astonished gazes, finally merging into a straight line...

The two moons appear together, the nine stars merge into one, the tides of heaven and earth appear, and the demonic fire comes to the world!

Finally, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame descended upon the world once more after a thousand years...

"boom!"

When the nine brilliant stars in the sky aligned in a straight line, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly swept across the entire world...

Countless strange mists spread out from the void, and faintly, the sound of waves could be heard coming from between heaven and earth.

"The tides of heaven and earth..." Ye Chen murmured as he looked at this once-in-a-millennium spectacle.

At the same time, several streaks of light quickly arrived at Ye Chen's side from within Saint Pill City.

"The demonic fire is about to descend upon the world..." Xuan Kongzi said solemnly as he landed beside Ye Chen.

Since the last time, Xuan Kongzi had been waiting at the Pill Tower and had not returned to the Small Pill Tower, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

Similarly, Qinglin, who had just returned from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and Xiaoyixian, who had emerged from seclusion, looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their hearts filled with shock.

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

Such a commotion could be seen throughout the entire Central Continent; countless powerful figures would likely already be rushing towards the place where the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had descended...

Even though many people knew they didn't have the ability to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, everyone still held onto that hopeful mentality, thinking, what if I'm the lucky one?

"It seems we need to prepare to set off as well..."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Xuan Kongzi nodded, and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped, then couldn't help but look again at the place where the tide of heaven and earth was descending...

Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth in the distant sky.

Beneath this light, there was also an extremely terrifying temperature, which spread out with the ripples. It was unknown how far it affected, but even at the very center of the Pill Tower, one could still feel a heat rising from the depths of one's heart.

"This is... the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has been born."

Seeing this extraordinary phenomenon, Xuan Kongzi immediately gasped. He never expected that the demonic fire would break through the seal so impatiently.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen gently pressed his forehead with his palm, because at the moment the demonic fire descended, the strange ball of light that had been floating in his mind began to ripple violently once again.

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Ye Chen's mind stirred, and his soul power surged, gradually suppressing the abnormal movement of the light cluster...

With his current soul power at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, although he still couldn't penetrate the ball of light, suppressing it wasn't a big problem.

"It seems we don't have much time to prepare. Let's set off now! In any case, let's get there and see what the situation is like..."

Ye Chen didn't plan to bring too many people this time.

In the entire Pill Tower, only Xuan Kongzi has reached the Dou Sheng level. Although Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin also hold the position of worshipper in the Pill Tower, everyone knows that they are just Ye Chen's people.

As for the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower, he naturally cannot be easily mobilized. After President Ye Chen left, the entire Pill Tower needs his care.

Leaving aside Qing Lin for now, this girl's trip to the Nine Netherworld Python was also incredibly fruitful. Not only did she break through to the Dou Sheng realm with the Demon Saint's essence blood, but even the Jade Serpent Three Flower Child became stronger. In addition, with so many powerful puppets, her cultivation level improved terrifyingly, and she has now reached the threshold of the two-star Dou Sheng realm.

As for Little Fairy Doctor, she is slightly inferior. Although she also has the Demon Saint's essence blood left to her by Ye Chen, she does not have the clone cultivation ability like Qing Lin. So, at present, she is only like Xuan Kongzi, having just stabilized the early stage of the One-Star Dou Saint.

Ye Chen decided to only bring Dou Sheng (Battle Saints).

At this level, the human wave tactic is no longer effective. All that's needed is to hold off some enemies of the same level for Ye Chen at crucial moments, so that they don't interfere with Ye Chen's progress.

As for those Dou Zun, they would only be cannon fodder if they went, and they wouldn't even be cannon fodder when facing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, so Ye Chen didn't let them go to their deaths.

"go!"

After Ye Chen uttered a sound, he tore through space and rushed directly into the void.

Behind him, Qinglin, Xiaoyixian, and Xuankongzi followed without hesitation.

Meanwhile, across the Central Plains, from within the various major sects and powerful forces, large numbers of figures soared through the air, accompanied by the whooshing sound of wind being cut, one after another sweeping across the sky...

Their goals were remarkably consistent, all pointing towards the northwest of Zhongzhou!

Given the speed of Ye Chen and his group of four, they were among the first to arrive.

After leaping out of the void, Ye Chen carefully surveyed the area and said in a deep voice, "We're about to enter within a thousand miles of the Demonic Flame's Descent. Be careful..."

Even in the Dou Qi Continent, a distance of a thousand miles is not short, but Ye Chen and the others knew very well that this distance was probably not enough to isolate the terrifying power of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Sure enough, although it was still night, the light overhead was even more intense than the brightest sunlight...

As they drew closer to their destination, waves of terrifying heat washed over them, even causing a stir among the Dou Sheng (Battle Saints) like Ye Chen and his companions.

"As expected of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the residual heat it releases alone is enough to make these Dou Zun experts with strength above the sixth star so difficult to resist..."

Xuan Kongzi glanced at the figures who had been forced back by the high temperature and couldn't help but speak up.

These people were from sects that were originally located very close to this place. They thought they could gain an advantage by virtue of their location, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't even have the right to get close in the end...

Clearly, even to be one in a billion lucky person, you need to have enough ability!

Chapter 488 A Series of Arrivals

When Ye Chen and his group arrived at the place where the demonic fire descended, they saw that this place, which was originally a land of towering mountains, had been transformed into a milky white desert.

A terrifying temperature rose from the desert, distorting the space within thousands of miles.

"What terrifying Pure Lotus Demon Flame! It actually burned such a massive mountain range into a desert..."

Looking at the vast desert that appeared before his eyes, Qinglin frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, all those who came this time were strong; otherwise, even if more came, they would only become a burden in the end.

Although Xuan Kongzi's cultivation was the weakest among them, as a powerful alchemist, he was more adapted to the high temperature than Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor...

He looked around, then looked up at the cracked sky. Rays of milky white light poured out from the broken space, and within that light was a terrifying temperature that even the soul could not bear.

“The space that sealed the Pure Lotus Demon Flame has been broken, but the demon flame has not come out…” Xuan Kongzi said softly, puzzled, as he looked at the scene.

"The milky white radiance that turned this land into a desert is merely the residual heat of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."

Ye Chen chuckled softly and said, "Of course it won't rashly run out. This Pure Lotus Demon Flame descends once every thousand years, but it has never truly appeared on the Dou Qi Continent, clearly indicating that it cannot completely break through the seal yet..."

"But that means if we want to subdue it, we'll have to go into its territory, which is ten or even a hundred times more dangerous!"

Xuan Kongzi and the other two nodded silently, then followed Ye Chen and waited quietly there, not daring to venture into the strange fire space...

A moment later, Ye Chen and the others could clearly sense that the surrounding space began to fluctuate violently. Then, as the sound of space shattering came, figures emerged from these passages.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at an open spatial passage to his left...

Thick black mist seeped out from the space, spreading out in a terrifying aura that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, immediately drawing all eyes to the area.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black mist slowly dissipated, and several figures gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

"That's... the Lord of the Soul Palace?"

Upon seeing the black-robed figure leading the group, exuding a terrifying aura, Xuan Kongzi, who had once fought against the Soul Hall Master's avatar, recognized him at a glance. Immediately, his internal fighting spirit began to circulate quietly...

The Lord of the Soul Palace!

These four simple words possess an unparalleled reputation in this Central Plains!

It should be noted that the opponent's reputation is far more powerful and ruthless than Ye Chen's current one. It is a fearsome reputation forged with the blood of dozens of top sects and several Dou Sheng experts, and the shock it brings to everyone in Zhongzhou is far greater than that of Ye Chen.

Gently reassuring the somewhat agitated Xuan Kongzi, Ye Chen's gaze swept over the figure, and he said calmly, "Teacher, don't worry..."

With Ye Chen's current strength, the words of this Soul Palace Master alone cannot pose any threat to their group.

As for the Soul Clan powerhouses accompanying them...

Ye Chen also saw a familiar face, the deputy hall master of the Soul Hall. As for the people beside him, they should be from the Soul Clan.

However, letting Ye Chen close
