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

Page 260

These are all living, breathing lives... and they are your own blood relatives!

……

……

The battle was considered over when Gu Yuan, Yan Jin, and Lei Ying appeared on the battlefield.

Ye Chen's Star Spear vanished, and he then gave the dark figure a deep look before flying directly to the front of his own team.

As for the dark figure who had been shot through the heart by Ye Chen, he merely glanced at the large, dark hole in his chest, his expressionless face remaining completely unchanged...

However, when he tried to use his battle aura to repair the terrible wound on his body, he discovered that his battle aura was completely ineffective in repairing the injury!

Even if he mobilized a great deal of battle qi, he couldn't dispel the strange energy covering the wound, let alone heal it...

Furthermore, the mysterious energy continued to erode the shadowy figure's body through the wound, and in a short moment, the flesh around the wound already began to smell of decay.

This scene immediately made the Soul Emperor frown, and his vigilance towards Ye Chen rose to the same level as that towards Gu Yuan.

Although equally shocked by Ye Chen's mysterious power, Gu Yuan's primary target remained the Soul Emperor...

"Soul Emperor, immediately stop summoning the Dou Di Cave!" Gu Yuan shouted angrily as he looked at the ancient figure in the sky.

For the Three Races Alliance, although the Ancient Emperor's Cave offered the allure of becoming an Emperor, they preferred the current situation.

The Soul Clan has been decimated by the three-race alliance and would never recover even if given another thousand years. Although Ye Chen of the Pill Tower appears to be a threat, he has not shown any intention of posing a threat to the ancient races.

As long as everything remains the same, one day, these three races will once again become the most powerful forces on this continent... or perhaps they could be referred to as the Ancient Races...

"Hehe, Gu Yuan, you're late..."

The Soul Emperor gazed at the ground below and spoke softly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the ground where Canaan Academy was originally located suddenly burst open from the depths, and patches of fiery red magma instantly spread to the surrounding area.

At the very center of this magma, a massive vortex was slowly rotating, and within that vortex, something seemed to be brewing...

Chapter 543 A Surprise and a Delight: The Old Dragon Emperor

Seeing that the appearance of the ancient emperor's cave was a foregone conclusion, Gu Yuan knew that he could not stop it.

However, before this ancient emperor's cave appears, it would be wise to eliminate this helper beside the Soul Emperor.

Moreover, he had just been severely injured by Ye Chen, so this was an opportunity he couldn't miss!

Unfortunately, Gu Yuan's thoughts had already been seen through by the Soul Emperor, who calmly said to Gu Yuan, "Want to make a move now? This is indeed a good opportunity, but I have something else I want to remind you... Take a look at the woman beside Ye Chen, do you sense any familiar aura..."

Listening to the Soul Emperor's cryptic words, everyone present except Ye Chen and Su Lingyin, who was the target, was completely confused.

Gu Yuan had no idea what the Soul Emperor was trying to say, but he still shifted his attention to Su Lingyin beside Ye Chen, and then...

"This is...this aura?!"

This discovery instantly changed Gu Yuan's expression, and his change naturally surprised everyone. They wondered what was so special about Su Lingyin that could make a nine-star Dou Sheng lose his composure like this.

"Hehe, did you notice? The Devouring Spirit Clan... It's been thousands of years since we've seen them. Although we don't know how they appeared in this era, the Void Devouring Flame was captured by Ye Chen before, so it must be related to him."

Unlike Gu Yuan, the Soul Emperor remained indifferent.

"How is this possible... Even if an ordinary person obtains the bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan, it's impossible for them to integrate it into their own body! Given the evil nature of that bloodline, even those of us with the bloodline of a Dou Di could be devoured, let alone an ordinary person?"

Gu Yuan still looked incredulous.

Yan Jin and Lei Ying, who were standing nearby, finally understood the meaning behind Gu Yuan's words. It turned out that the eight-star Dou Sheng woman next to Ye Chen was actually a member of the Devouring Spirit Clan, which had been extinct for countless years.

"Besides beings like the Void Devouring Flame, how could anyone in this world possibly fuse with the power of the Devouring Spirit Clan's bloodline!"

This was the first thought that popped into the minds of the two clan leaders...

But they also knew that Gu Yuan would never lie to them about something like this...

"Clan Chief Gu Yuan, are you really sure that woman is from the Devouring Spirit Clan?" Yan Jin frowned and couldn't help but ask.

The Flame Clan naturally participated in the war that annihilated the Devouring Spirit Clan, and there were more than eight ancient races on the continent at that time...

However, Yan Jin was not yet the patriarch of the Yan clan at that time, so he missed the great war.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, steadied himself, and said decisively, "That's right! That evil and terrifying aura belongs to that race from back then. I can't be mistaken..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jin and Lei Ying's expressions also changed, and when they looked at Ye Chen and the others, their expressions became unfriendly.

As an entity that was jointly wiped out by various Dou Di races, even after tens of millions of years, its reappearance on the continent still poses a huge threat to them.

Ye Chen calmly observed the changes in Gu Yuan and the others' attitudes, and couldn't help but look at the Soul Emperor, who had been observing coldly from the sidelines, with newfound respect.

Ye Chen was originally thought to be an arrogant patriarch of the Soul Clan who wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics, but unexpectedly, he's now learned the art of shifting blame...

Of course, this is not a clever tactic; it's just a matter of whether the other party is willing to lower their pride.

However, Ye Chen didn't care about these things. When he decided to bring Su Lingyin along, he was already prepared for her identity to be exposed.

Ye Chen glanced at Gu Yuan and the others, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, and smiled faintly, saying, "What, is Clan Chief Gu Yuan planning to have a showdown with my Pill Tower first?"

As he spoke, Old Man Hei and Su Lingyin stepped forward simultaneously, their terrifying auras suddenly erupting, directly confronting Gu Yuan and the other two.

The atmosphere froze instantly; a major battle seemed inevitable.

But the next moment...

"Whoosh!"

The enormous magma vortex spun more and more violently, and a deafening roar echoed across the sky.

Upon hearing this commotion, Gu Yuan and the others' expressions changed again, their faces immediately darkening.

On one side is the ancient emperor's cave that is about to be born, and on the other side are the Devouring Spirit Clan, the Soul Emperor, and Ye Chen, who are mortal enemies. If they were to make a move now, their three clans would probably be attacked by both sides immediately.

Gu Yuan didn't think that the Soul Emperor would stand with them. Even though the Soul Clan was the true executor of the Devouring Spirit Clan's demise, the Soul Emperor, who had given up everything in the face of the temptation of becoming a Dou Di, would never let any reason affect his plans.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the vortex expanded, a massive pillar of magma, thousands of feet long, suddenly erupted from the surface of the magma sea, affecting many people from both the Dan Tower and the three races. The intense heat and impact caused casualties among the allied forces of the three races.

As for the Pill Tower, Ye Chen brought along all the Dou Sheng (Battle Saints), so although they were somewhat disheveled, they were completely unharmed.

There was nothing the three-race alliance could do about this, since Ye Chen had already begun to manage the Black Corner Region. Every blade of grass and every tree here was under his control, so there was no need to send too many people.

Gazing at the raging sea of ​​lava, the joy in the eyes of the Soul Emperor grew stronger and stronger. He could feel the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand suddenly becoming scorching hot.

"Wow!"

A colossal wave of lava, thousands of feet high, suddenly surged up and then crashed down. As it splashed lava everywhere, the rapidly spinning vortex of lava began to change...

On the surface of the magma sea, crimson magma rapidly spread out, and as the magma spread, an ancient stone gate standing between heaven and earth slowly rose from the magma under the fervent gazes of many.

As the lava above the stone gate rapidly receded, an ancient and primal aura instantly filled the world...

In this ancient and desolate atmosphere, all things are silent!

Even someone as powerful as Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor felt a deep sense of fear.

It was an aura that transcended the heavens and earth!

Ye Chen frowned and circulated his spiritual energy, which slightly reduced the oppressive aura.

Clearly, although the spiritual power he cultivates now surpasses that of this world, a Dou Di is capable of transforming their body into space, becoming the complete controller of the Dou Qi Continent's space. Therefore, even higher-level spiritual power, unless one's cultivation can reach the limit of this space, will still be suppressed by a Dou Di...

This also gave Ye Chen a clearer understanding of the Dou Di.

Countless gazes converged on the ancient stone gate, and finally, all eyes froze on the four ancient characters above the gate!

"Ancient Emperor's Cave!"

The Soul Emperor's eyes flashed with an astonishing light. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion upon seeing the place he had been pursuing for thousands of years appear before him.

"Finally, I've found you..." the Soul Emperor muttered to himself, finally unable to hold back his wild laughter as he looked up at the sky.

Laughter echoed like thunder across the sky.

"Is this the legendary ancient emperor's cave dwelling...?"

Gu Yuan was also somewhat lost in thought. He stared blankly at the ancient stone gate that stood quietly on the lava, as if something within him was stirring and trying to break free...

At the scene, the only one who was still able to remain calm was Ye Chen.

"Tsk, I'm about to meet my father-in-law. I wonder if it will be like those old stories from my past life, a joyous occasion of meeting my future father-in-law and son-in-law. Will I greet him with a smile, or will he stab me in the back?"

Thinking this to himself, Ye Chen secretly sent a telepathic message to everyone, telling them to retreat immediately!

Although everyone was puzzled, at this point everyone was thinking about how to rush into the Dou Di Cave, why did the guild leader ask everyone to back down?

Based on their trust in and obedience to Ye Chen, everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner without any hesitation...

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Zi Yan also came to Ye Chen's side with a puzzled look and asked in confusion.

Ye Chen said with a serious expression, "Do you remember when I explored this magma world? I discovered a terrifying being inside. The commotion here might awaken that being..."

He couldn't just tell Ziyan that her father was here, so Ye Chen could only make up an excuse.

"Is that so..." Zi Yan didn't suspect anything, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

As the Danta group retreated, the once calm sea of ​​lava suddenly erupted with towering waves...

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar resounded throughout the land.

The moment that roar, seemingly from ancient times, was uttered, Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor's expressions changed drastically. This aura... was actually no weaker than theirs!

"Hahaha, I, the Emperor, have finally seen the light of day again!"

Ten thousand feet of magma shot into the sky, and a fierce aura that changed the color of heaven and earth also surged out from the magma sea!

What appeared before everyone's eyes was a terrifying behemoth, its massive body covered in purple-gold scales emerging from the lava...

Although it was only a small section of the body, its size was still extremely large.

The mysterious creature's head, which exuded a hint of ferocity and oppressive power, emerged from the magma and gazed at the numerous people and horses in the sky. A look of surprise clearly flashed across its giant eyes.

"Unexpectedly, someone actually managed to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and summon the ancient emperor's cave from that damned space..."

The mysterious creature's giant eye swept across the sky, finally settling on Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor.

Well, in this world, although there are many people, only these two are worthy of his attention...

Unfortunately, that's when some people try to get involved.

"Ziyan, what's wrong..."

Looking at Zi Yan's somewhat dazed gaze, Ye Chen chuckled inwardly, but asked with feigned concern.

Of course, Zi Yan wasn't the only dragon present; there was even Hei Lao, who had fought alongside the old Dragon Emperor for countless years...

So, before anyone could react, a figure burst out from the crowd and went straight to the mysterious creature and Gu Yuan and the others.

The sudden appearance of the figure caused Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi to frown.

Before they could say anything, a trembling, shocked voice rang out from the figure…

"Dragon... Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor? Is... is it really you?"

At this moment, Old Man Hei's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was trembling with excitement.

The fact that an eight-star Dou Sheng powerhouse could show such a loss of composure demonstrates the immense impact Zhu Kun's appearance had on him.

"Oh? You are... Black Eclipse? What are you doing here?"

Upon recognizing Hei Lao's identity, Zhu Kun's expression changed, and he asked in surprise.

As he spoke, Zhu Kun's body shrank rapidly, transforming in an instant into the appearance of a middle-aged man with a full head of purple-gold hair.

Then, Zhu Kun raised his head, and the pair of golden children, exuding a strong sense of pressure, stared at Hei Shi. He then frowned and asked, "I didn't expect that the first person I would see on the day I escaped would be you. How is the Dragon Clan now? How many of those people from back then are still alive?"

Zhu Kun's age even surpasses that of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan. When he roamed the continent, the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan were not as powerful as they are now.

However, the ancient dragons that were with him back then were all from the older generation. Although dragons have long lifespans, without sufficient strength, their lifespans will eventually run out, which is why Zhu Kun asked this question.

Hei Shi calmed down at this moment. After listening to Zhu Kun's words, he was filled with emotion and said, "There are not many left... After Your Majesty disappeared, many of my old friends and I searched frantically. After searching the entire Dou Qi Continent, we went to the void... I only recently returned to the continent."

When I returned, I learned that the Ancient Dragon Clan had actually been split apart by a few ambitious youngsters while Your Majesty was missing and all of us old guys were away!

Later, Xiao Ziyan returned from the outside world, reunited the dragon clan and Dragon Island, and succeeded to the new Dragon Emperor's throne..."

“Little Ziyan…” Zhu Kun’s golden eyes flashed, and then his expression became slightly excited.

"my child……"
