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

Page 228

The Ye family also contributed significantly to the great battle against the Soul Palace.

In the northern region of Zhongzhou, with the Ye family's continuous expansion and the connections of the Han family led by Han Yue, most of the northern region was already under the Ye family's sphere of influence...

As for the original overlord of the Northern Region, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, it had long been destroyed. Thunder Venerable himself was even directly smashed into mincemeat by a five-star Dou Zun of the Ye family!

Since the war with the Soul Hall began, the Ye family and the Soul Hall have fought more than a hundred battles, large and small, in the Northern Region of Central State. Several Dou Zun have fallen, and more than a hundred Dou Zong have also perished...

This is why the Ye family's rapid expansion over the years has increased its strength a hundredfold, enabling it to single-handedly withstand the Soul Palace's attack in the Northern Region.

This once shocked the entire Central Continent, astonished by the power and terror of the Ye family.

"It seems we need to stop fighting with the Soul Palace for now. The situation in Central Continent is currently very volatile. I think we should wait for Ye Chen to return before making any further decisions..."

Inside the hall, Cao Ying, dressed in a blood-red, eerie long dress, slammed her hand on the table in front of her, her gaze sweeping over everyone as she spoke.

>

Old Monster Lin and Xuan Kongzi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement with the proposal.

Although Cao Ying's strength was not among the top in the crowd, as the president of the Danta Guild, she had enough say at this time.

After all, ever since Ye Chen elevated the position of President of the Pill Tower to the level of the true supreme controller of the Pill Tower, the status of Cao Ying and Dan Chen, who were also among the three giants of the Pill Tower, also rose accordingly...

After making the decision, Danta immediately issued a ceasefire order to all sides, instructing all forces belonging to the Danta Alliance to hold their ground.

As if sharing some inexplicable understanding with the Pill Tower, at the same time the fighting stopped here, the powerful figures from the Soul Palace also retreated one after another...

A war that was thought to have no end was abruptly suspended.

The disappearance of the Stone Clan swept across the entire Central Plains like a whirlwind...

All the factions were quite shocked by this news, and then some perceptive individuals vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

These ancient races were all incredibly powerful, and they have stood strong for thousands of years!

However, in less than ten years, two races vanished into thin air. Once could be a coincidence, but twice would surely be a ghost story...

Moreover, the methods used to eliminate the two races were exactly the same, making it obvious that the culprit who wiped out the Spirit Race and the Stone Race was the same person or the same force!

However, troublesome things followed. On this continent, in people's minds, there were only two forces capable of silently erasing the ancient races such as the Spirit Race and the Stone Race... the Soul Race and the Ancient Race.

In other words, the disappearance of these two races was most likely the work of one of them!

Just as the outside world was making a fuss about this matter, the Demonfire Space... which had been quiet for a year, finally began to change.

Rumble!

The spatial rift, which had been sealed by the milky-white flames, once again emitted a terrifying vibration that could be clearly heard for miles around.

However, because of the demonic fire that descended back then, this area of ​​several thousand miles had long become a forbidden zone for life, so such a commotion went unnoticed...

Of course, except for those with ulterior motives...

"Quick! There's movement in the Demon Flame Space. Send the message back to the Pill Tower immediately!"

Several figures belonging to the Pill Tower watched all this from afar, and immediately someone shouted sharply.

In other places, similar messages were also being spread...

At the same time, a figure suddenly and strangely appeared between heaven and earth at the spatial rift. With his appearance, the demonic fire space that had been burning and refusing to let anyone approach slowly disappeared from this world!

"Ugh, finally out..." Ye Chen stretched and yawned.

I feel like I've been in that demonic fire space for a very long time...

Of course, the reason why Ye Chen spent so much time in the Demon Flame Space was not simply because he wanted to fuse with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, because that would not have taken much time at all.

Most importantly, Ye Chen spent more than half a year collecting the ancient Heaven-Refining Array that had existed for thousands of years within the Demon Flame Space into his own Star Essence Space...

Even though they had already obtained all of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's understanding of the Refining Heaven Ancient Formation, it was still a huge undertaking.

Fortunately, Ye Chen succeeded in the end!

Chapter 503 The Soul Palace Annihilation Plan

In the deep starry sky, an endless dragon stretches out, like a Milky Way.

Around this giant dragon, 108 enormous golden spots shimmered, like 108 stars illuminating the universe.

This is Ye Chen's Star Essence Space, which lies between illusion and reality, and the Star Essence Diagram deep within his soul.

At this moment, the area deep within Ye Chen's soul that displays his own attributes has undergone more than 50% evolution of the Star Essence Space. This is also an important reason why Ye Chen was able to incorporate the Refining Heaven Ancient Array into it.

Within this space, besides the colossal galaxy dragon that filled the entire universe, there was also a giant lotus flower that reached the sky and stood upright, and a grand array of heaven and earth that slowly rotated in reverse direction!

The three are adjacent to each other yet do not interfere with each other. What Ye Chen wants to do is wait until the Star Essence Space has completely evolved and see if he can merge the three into one...

If his idea can be realized, then even if he travels to the Great Thousand World in the future and encounters those powerful races within it, he will have enough means to defeat them.

Perhaps I can establish my own realm even faster than the Flame Emperor and Martial Ancestor in the original story...

With his soul power spreading out, Ye Chen easily discovered the people who were monitoring him.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, after spotting a group of people dressed in Danta attire, he instantly teleported to their side...

"Ah...Bye, greetings to the guild master!" This Dou Zun expert from the Pill Tower was obviously startled, but after recognizing Ye Chen, he immediately knelt down in delight.

"No need for formalities. Tell me what has happened in Zhongzhou during this time..." Ye Chen said calmly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the Dou Zun did not hesitate. After organizing his thoughts, he briefly recounted the major events that had occurred in Zhongzhou over the past two years.

"The war with the Hall of Souls..." Ye Chen murmured to himself.

Just as I thought, Hun Miesheng would definitely not be satisfied with this trip to the Demon Flame Space.

However, Ye Chen felt that the Soul Palace's actions were probably not just for revenge for what happened in the Demon Flame Space; they were likely deliberately trying to attract public attention...

After hearing the news that the Stone Clan had also disappeared, Ye Chen became even more certain of this idea!

"Heh, the Soul Clan has certainly come up with a good idea." Ye Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "By exploiting the Soul Palace's meager losses, they've directly attracted everyone's attention, and then they're secretly plotting and scheming. They're treating everyone like monkeys!"

Ye Chen was extremely unhappy with the feeling of being used as a tool...

"It's time to cut off the Soul Clan's hand that's reaching into the Central Continent!"

After fusing with the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, Ye Chen's Dou Qi cultivation finally broke through to the fifth-star Dou Sheng level, and even reached the late stage of the fifth-star level...

This level of strength gives him the ability to fight a six-star Dou Sheng. If you add in the Dan Tower Ancestor and Zi Yan, then unless the Soul Clan sends out a powerhouse of the level of the Four Demon Saints, and not just one, Ye Chen has nothing to fear!

As for beings like the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan, each of them is under constant surveillance by others. Especially now that the Stone Clan has just disappeared, it is impossible for them to be deployed without being noticed by outsiders. Therefore, the Soul Emperor would never easily send them out.

Ye Chen now wants to seize this opportunity to eliminate the Soul Palace from the Central Plains.

Go out and completely sever the Soul Clan's control over the Central Plains...

Of course, in the original story, Xiao Yan did this to save his father, while Ye Chen did it more because he coveted the soul essence collected by the Soul Palace!

……

……

Dan Domain, Holy Pill City.

As the headquarters of the Pill Tower Alliance, the return of Ye Chen, the president of the Pill Tower and the leader of the alliance, made the entire Holy Pill City lively.

Because of the truce, many powerful figures in the Pill Tower Alliance had already returned to the Pill Domain. Ye Chen even saw Xiao Yan, who had hurriedly arrived accompanied by Xiao Chen, the ancestor of the Xiao family...

"Brother Ye, your strength has increased again!" Xiao Yan said with envy, sensing the terrifying aura hidden within Ye Chen's body.

Ye Chen smiled slightly, looked at Xiao Yan, and said, "You're not bad either. Nowadays, who in Zhongzhou doesn't know how powerful the young master of the Starfall Pavilion is? Not only is his strength comparable to a Battle Saint, but his alchemy skills have also reached the peak of the eighth rank. This surpasses many old monsters in the Pill Tower who have lived for hundreds of years!"

It must be said that Xiao Yan's talent in alchemy is indeed extraordinary, even surpassing that of Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. It could be said that he was very satisfied with his current achievements.

After all, he didn't know how glorious he was in the original historical process. Judging from the present perspective alone, Xiao Yan's growth was second only to those ancient clans with divine bloodlines.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yan, with a solemn expression, revealed the true purpose of his visit.

"Brother Ye, with the strength of our alliance, we are now capable of annihilating the Soul Palace. It's time for us to eliminate this major threat!"

This idea coincided with Ye Chen's, but Ye Chen did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "What if the Soul Clan sends powerful experts to help?"

Xiao Yan patted his chest confidently and said, "Brother Ye Chen, you don't need to worry about that. Xun'er has already promised me that the Ancient Clan will keep an eye on those peak experts of the Soul Clan. Even if they can send one or two reinforcements, their strength will definitely not be able to surpass ours!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly; this was precisely why he had been trying to recruit Xiao Yan into the alliance.

If a powerful member of an ancient clan keeps an eye on the Soul Clan, then the only possible unexpected situation will be avoided, and they will have the strength to destroy the Soul Palace with swift and decisive action!

"If that's the case, then we must act quickly!"

Ye Chen said decisively, "All of the Soul Palace's main forces are concentrated in the three main halls. As long as we concentrate our efforts to destroy these three main halls, the Soul Palace will be like a rootless duckweed, and will no longer have the qualifications to confront our Pill Tower Alliance!"

Xiao Yan agreed with this statement.

"So what should we do? Split up our forces?"

Conservatively speaking, splitting forces is not a wise move.

However, the current alliance has an overwhelming advantage over the Soul Palace, especially since Ye Chen is confident that he is not afraid of even a Seven-Star Dou Sheng when he unleashes his full power, which gives him even bolder ideas.

"Split the troops!"

Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yan, you take Senior Xiao Chen and the Starfall Pavilion, along with the other major forces in the alliance, and attack the Human Hall among the three halls..."

"As for the remaining Heavenly Palace and Earthly Palace, leave them to me!"

Chapter 504 The Power of Devouring

Destroying the Soul Palace is not something that can be done just by talking; it requires thorough preparation.

As for whether the Soul Hall would discover this process and prepare accordingly, Ye Chen wasn't worried. Because that was certain; the Soul Hall couldn't possibly be unaware of the Pill Tower's major actions.

Moreover, Ye Chen never thought of relying on a surprise attack; he just wanted to crush them head-on!

During these preparations, Ye Chen secretly left Saint Pill City to meet someone...

The southwestern region of Zhongzhou is within the sphere of influence of Yin Gu.

With Dan Chen by his side, Ye Chen set foot on this land for the second time...

It was still that small island in the middle of the lake, deep in the Valley of Sound, where Su Lingyin, dressed in a snow-white dress and wearing a veil, greeted Ye Chen and his companion.

"I heard you're preparing to take action against the Soul Palace. Why do you have time to come to my Yin Valley at this time? Do you want to ask me to come out of seclusion?" Su Lingyin looked at Ye Chen and said calmly.

Ye Chen chuckled and nodded, saying, "I do have the idea of ​​asking you for help, senior, but that's only one aspect..."

"Oh? So it seems you have a second one?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, raised his palm, and a black, smoke-like mass of energy surged in his palm.

The moment the cloud of energy appeared, Su Lingyin's expression changed slightly, and Dan Chen, who had been quiet all along, couldn't help but raise his head.

"What is this?" Su Lingyin's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her expression gradually becoming serious. "I sensed a call from my bloodline within it, and this thing seems to possess an exceptionally powerful devouring force..."

Seeing the mother and daughter's reaction, Ye Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.

"This is a long story, it all started with the descent of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame..."

Su Lingyin rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, and couldn't help but raise her voice a little, saying, "Then let's get to the point!"

"Alright..." Ye Chen clicked his tongue regretfully, then said, "To put it simply, back in the Demon Flame Space, I snatched a sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking, from the young patriarch of the Soul Clan. During the refining process, I extracted this special substance from the Void Devouring Flame..."

"I don't know exactly what this thing is, but I feel it's somewhat similar to the Devouring Spirit Clan's bloodline ability that you mentioned, so I brought it here for you to see."

The Void Devouring Flame consumed the last Devouring Spirit King of the Devouring Spirit Clan, and also inherited the entire bloodline power of the Devouring Spirit Clan's royal family...

Ye Chen, who had read the original work, was naturally very clear about this.

Originally, this so-called power of the Devouring Spirit Clan bloodline was useless; it only greatly enhanced the Void Devouring Flame.

But when Su Lingyin revealed that she inherited the bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Clan, it gave Ye Chen a bold idea...

Perhaps, if handled properly, I could actually cultivate another person with the bloodline of the Devouring Spirit Royal Clan in this Dou Qi Continent.

"Hmm, it would be even better if we could breed another race..." Ye Chen thought to himself.

Putting aside these random thoughts for the time being, Ye Chen turned his gaze to Su Lingyin and said calmly, "This thing should be useful to you, right?"

Taking a deep breath, Su Lingyin glanced at Ye Chen with a complicated expression.
