Chapter 3130: Pinpointing the Timing

In the void, Ye Chen walked through the misty expanse. Everywhere he looked, there were shattered star fields and blood mist. Due to the immense battle among the gods, countless lives were affected. Entire sects fled in droves, and both star domains and the starry sky showed signs of utter ruin.

"The Immortal Realm is still intact. How lucky."

The little old man, with his hands tucked away, felt both melancholic and satisfied. Having given the Tian Mo Di a good thrashing, he felt completely refreshed.

Ye Chen deeply understood this feeling.

The aftermath of this great war was nothing short of destructive. For the Xian Jie to have endured it without collapsing was truly remarkable. As his vision gradually recovered, he could see the signs: the structure of the Xian Jie was quite complex, with some profound mechanism operating in the background, not man-made, but supported by underlying rules.

"There are Zhi Zun."

The Hun Dun Ding suddenly exclaimed, bouncing up and down.

Ye Chen didn't need it to point them out; he could see them himself. In one corner of the starry sky, two majestic figures appeared. They had been part of the previous siege, and now they were moving together, searching. Who were they looking for? Naturally, the severely injured Ye Chen.

"Let's do it."

The Hun Dun Huo also called out, eager to fight.

Ye Chen didn't respond. He used Zhou Tian to conceal his true form and quietly passed by. From start to finish, he had no intention of attacking. It wasn't that he couldn't win, but he didn't want to invite unnecessary trouble. On the surface, there were two Zhi Zun, but in reality, there were five, with three hidden in the void. Once a battle started, he would be entangled, and the urgent matter was to find Zhao Yun's disciple and break his own seals. Once he recovered fully, the Zhi Zun in the Xian Jie wouldn't escape. Before that, it was best to keep a low profile; one wrong step could lead to being ganged up on by the gods again.

And so, the two sides passed each other.

Yes, they passed each other. The five Zhi Zun didn't notice anything, leaving the gods in the cauldron anxious. Were they all blind?

It wasn't that they were blind; it was the profundity of Zhou Tian. Ye Chen had concealed himself too well, not revealing any opening, so the five Zhi Zun were effectively blind.

Half a day later, Cang Yu Jie.

"Sister, we're back to your homeland."

The Chi Yan Xiong Shi nudged Zi Xin with a paw.

Zi Xin had already lifted her gaze.

Ever since her great revenge was exacted, this was the first time she showed any emotion. Looking at Cang Yu Jie, her eyes were filled with complexity. This so-called homeland was also a place of sorrow for her; her relatives were gone, and so were her enemies. She couldn't find any reason to live anymore, completely listless and spiritless.

The Xiong Shi sighed and said no more.

Looking at Ye Chen, he remained hidden in the void, surveying the scene. The battle of the Zhi Zun had also affected Cang Yu Jie; the once magnificent mountains and rivers were now in ruins, countless ancient cities bombed into rubble, and the once prosperous world now extremely desolate. Those who could leave had basically fled.

"Is Ru Shui here?"

The little old man spoke, tentatively asking, and even stood on tiptoe to help Ye Chen search.

Ye Chen couldn't give an answer.

This realm was neither too large nor too small. With his senses restricted, it was extremely difficult for him to find someone.

He paused slightly and stopped using his perception. Instead, he employed Zhou Tian to capture Ru Shui's opportunity in the dark. He could barely find a trace and used that to deduce.

What reassured him was that he could deduce it, which proved that Zhao Yun's disciple was still alive and indeed in Cang Yu Jie. But her situation seemed unfavorable; there was danger.

His calculation was spot-on.

At that moment, Ru Shui's situation was indeed dire. She had fallen into a piece of Yi Kong Jian in her Yuan Shen state. Previously besieged by the Zhi Zun, she had barely escaped with her life; being alive was already a miracle. Remembering her agreement with Ye Chen, she had fled to Cang Yu Jie and forcibly created this Yi Kong Jian. Unfortunately, she was still found. In her half-dead state, it was hard to resist. Speaking of injuries, she was even worse off than Ye Chen, because in terms of foundation, she couldn't compare to him. Although she was astonishing, she wasn't as resilient as him. Her ability to survive and escape to Cang Yu Jie was already a miracle.

"A trapped beast, why struggle?"

Desolate words echoed throughout the Yi Kong Jian, the voice full of demonic power, like a funeral song from the Jiu You.

It was the Hui Mie Mo Zun.

Earlier, Ye Chen had been targeting him, waiting to deal with him after tearing up the ticket. If not for Ru Shui's interference, he would have been captured and beaten into his Yuan Shen.

Among the gods, he was the sneakiest. Finding this Yi Kong Jian wasn't a coincidence; before the battle, he had placed a mark on Ru Shui for tracking. If not for the Yi Kong Jian blocking it, he would have found her earlier. This time, he came alone without informing the other gods, meaning he wanted to swallow the spoils alone.

Zhao Yun's disciple must have treasures; swallowing her would bring opportunities. Who wouldn't believe that? Moreover, he was one to pity the fair; Ru Shui was stunningly beautiful and couldn't be wasted.

Ru Shui didn't speak, her figure staggering, her eyes on Hui Mie Mo Zun filled with hate and anger. Her master was captured, and Hui Mie Mo Zun was greatly responsible. Even if she found the Ying Jie-bound Zhao Yun, without that, how could her master have been suppressed by the mob with his combat power?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Hui Mie Mo Zun sighed, with a playful and teasing tone, quite enjoying Ru Shui's expression—hatred and anger mixed with a hint of despair, a feast for the eyes.

Ru Shui still didn't speak, her hatred growing stronger. If not for her severe injuries, her situation wouldn't be so pathetic.

"Your taste must be quite good."

Hui Mie Mo Zun sinisterly laughed, extending a large hand from the sky. His laugh was sinister and lewd, licking his red tongue like a demon.

Ru Shui wanted to move, but the order locked her, making her unable to budge. Seeing the large hand descending from the sky, she felt true despair; even suicide was impossible. Today, she might truly disgrace her master's reputation.

However, before the large hand could reach, a small child manifested in front of her, his chubby little hand slapping upward against the heavens.

Boom! Crack! Puff!

Such sounds were extremely pleasing; Hui Mie Mo Zun's extended hand exploded instantly, affecting his true body, half of which collapsed.

Ye Chen had arrived.

Saving the beauty, he was a professional; in terms of timing, he had it pinpointed just right.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Looking at Hui Mie Mo Zun, he retreated step by step, three to five steps, each step collapsing space. When he finally steadied himself and saw it was Ye Chen, his face was full of disbelief. He knew that guy was still alive, but this recovery speed was too fast. Only three to five days, and he was back to normal? Had he activated a god-level hack?

"Seeing me, are you happy?"

Ye Chen didn't speak, but the Hun Dun Ding did. How to put it? The master was too lazy to talk to small fries, so it was happy to do so.

Happy? Extremely happy.

Hui Mie Mo Zun didn't speak; he turned and fled. He had to run, and run fast. If he ran slow, he wouldn't need to run anymore. Looking at the power of Ye Chen's previous palm, it proved Ye Chen's current state—he wasn't a severely injured person on the verge of death; he was clearly a lively god.

Ye Chen didn't bother with nonsense; with one step, he blocked Hui Mie Mo Zun's path and swung a palm.

Puff!

The blood light of a Zhi Zun was extremely dazzling; the Tian Di-level Hui Mie Mo Zun was as weak as an ant before the Sheng Ti Zhi Zun. His divine body had collapsed, his divine bones stained with divine blood, scattering throughout the Yi Kong Jian. When he landed, he was already an illusory Yuan Shen.

Even so, he wasn't willing to give up, thinking he could still salvage it. He sacrificed his Yuan Shen power to perform a heaven-defying escape technique, fleeing into the void.

"You, can you escape?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, reaching his small hand into the void, like fishing in murky waters. The Hui Mie Mo Zun who had just escaped into the void was caught back, grabbed by Ye Chen with one hand around the neck, lifted in the air. Zhou Tian order chains clattered, binding him up completely. What Zhi Zun? What god? It was all useless; no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Save me!"

Hui Mie Mo Zun howled, transmitting his divine sense, but unfortunately, the Yi Kong Jian was already sealed by Zhou Tian; even a Zhi Zun's divine sense couldn't transmit outside.
