Chapter 886: Obtaining the Heavenly Eyes Again

Chapter 886: Obtaining the Tian Yan Again

Bang!

As Xu Tian trembled, Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at Xue Liao and the others with great interest, his two rows of teeth gleaming snow-white under the moonlight.

However, though his smile was bright, to Xue Liao and his companions, it was like the beckoning of the grim reaper.

What kind of person was he? He was the Holy Lord of Tian Ting, Ye Chen himself—the one who had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of cultivators, routing them completely; who had slain two revered figures in Xu Tian; and who had carved a bloody path through the encirclement of nearly ten million cultivators.

He was a god of war, a god of slaughter. Just gazing at him made their bodies tremble.

This was the might of the Tian Ting Holy Lord.

"Break this cage. The rest of you, follow me to slay Ye Chen."

Xue Liao suddenly swung his sword and charged at Ye Chen, with over a hundred Kong Ming Realm experts following behind.

Xue Liao was much calmer than Xue Qiong—at least he hadn't lost his senses to fear. To kill Ye Chen, they needed to summon a massive army of cultivators, and the first step was to shatter this cage.

Quick victory!

Ye Chen thought to himself, his eyes instantly blazing with intensity. Since he knew Xue Liao's intent, he couldn't let him succeed.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The void hummed as Xue Liao and his group summoned their spiritual artifacts, unleashing their peak power and sweeping out divine radiance like a vast sea.

Break!

Ye Chen shouted coldly, sending forth both the Chaos Divine Cauldron and the Jiu Zhou Divine Diagram. They radiated immense power, crushing the sea of divine light.

Die!

Xue Liao's sword pierced through Xu Tian, its force overwhelming and utterly dominant—a supreme killing technique.

"The Shixue Double Venerables were slain by me—who gave you that confidence?"

Ye Chen sneered, dodging Xue Liao's fatal strike in an instant. He countered with a sweeping sword, and in that moment, over a dozen people beside Xue Qiong were cut down.

At the sight, Xue Liao thrust out a palm, unleashing a sea of blood that engulfed Ye Chen.

Open!

In just a second, Ye Chen cleaved through the blood sea with his sword and followed up with a punch that sent Xue Liao reeling back.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

Behind him, the Shixue Hall experts brandished their killing swords, leaving bloody gashes across Ye Chen's back.

Get back!

Ye Chen snorted coldly and swept out with a massive Palm Strike, knocking them aside.

At the same time, Xue Liao spat out a wisp of blood essence, transforming it into a blood sea that carried a purple spiritual pearl, pressing down on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled coldly and stepped into the sky, merging the Kang Long Eight Wastes into one strike. With a single punch, he shattered the purple spiritual pearl into dust.

Xue Liao was shaken back once more. Before he could steady himself, a ghostly figure appeared before him, and a golden fist came hurtling toward his face. Reacting quickly, he summoned a Xuan Guang Armor for defense.

Bang! Crack! Puff!

The three sounds echoed in succession.

Ye Chen's fist smashed through the Xuan Guang shield, piercing it entirely. Xue Liao was wounded, his chest bones shattered, and he staggered backward.

Wind God Art!

Ye Chen struck decisively and swiftly, moving like the wind, as fast as divine light. As soon as Xue Liao regained his footing, Ye Chen's sword pierced through his chest.

Ah!

Xue Qiong roared in fury and retreated rapidly.

Where do you think you're going?

Ye Chen stepped forward in pursuit, but he was blocked by a surge of Shixue Hall experts from both sides.

Anyone who blocks me dies!

Ye Chen advanced step by step, Chi Xiao Sword dripping with blood in his hand. Anyone who stood in his way was cut down with a single strike—no one could withstand it, not even those at the peak of Kong Ming Realm. His power was terrifying beyond belief.

They're afraid!

The Shixue Hall experts were terrified, their arms trembling as they gripped their killing swords. Dozens of Kong Ming Realm cultivators, plus a Zhun Tian Realm expert, were collectively forced to retreat step by step by Ye Chen. No one dared to charge forward—advancing meant death.

Kill! Kill him for me!

Xue Liao kept shoving the Shixue Hall experts in front of him, his own fear evident. Ye Chen was like a god of death, filling him with dread.

They had no choice but to obey the hall master's command.

The Shixue Hall experts gritted their teeth and charged, unleashing their divine techniques madly.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Ye Chen sustained wound after wound, golden blood splattering and stinging the eyes.

Yet, his steps never faltered. With his sacred body enduring the assaults, he pressed forward, and each swing of his sword claimed a head. In less than a minute, the dozens of Kong Ming Realm experts became souls beneath his blade.

Now it's your turn!

Ye Chen's vital energy burned with pain, his bloodline power surging wildly. His entire body radiated divine light, bathed in sacred blood, his form like molten gold—radiant and dazzling.

Kill!

In extreme fear, Xue Liao lunged forward, his eyes blazing with divine light as he fired two thunderbolts.

"Your Tian Yan is useless against me."

Ye Chen's left eye spun with the Immortal Wheel, manifesting a dark vortex that sucked in the thunderbolts. Then, with a punch that shattered Xu Tian, he blasted half of Xue Liao's body to pieces.

Ah!

Xue Liao howled, his hair disheveled like a demon, rapidly regenerating his body.

But Ye Chen gave him no chance. He closed in instantly, unleashing his invincible golden fists, each strike drawing blood and reducing Xue Liao's body to a mangled form, leaving him no room to fight back.

On the Yellow Springs Road, you won't be alone!

Ye Chen's voice was icy as he delivered a world-shaking sword strike aimed straight at Xue Liao's forehead.

No! No!

Xue Liao's pupils dilated in terror, his face twisted in fear. Even before the sword pierced his brow, his body felt as cold as ice, as if he had plunged into the endless depths of hell.

Puff!

As fresh blood sprayed, Xue Qiong's brow was pierced by Ye Chen's sword.

Boom!

At the same time, the other Shixue Hall experts broke through the Tai Xu Dragon Forbidden Cage.

But it was too late—Xue Liao was already slain, and his Tian Yan essence had been seized.

Run!

With even Xue Liao dead, the Shixue Hall experts were filled with horror and fled.

Where do you think you're going?

Ye Chen moved to give chase, but as soon as he took a step, his brow furrowed. In the distance, he saw a massive black tide of people surging from the horizon, their numbers vast and including many Zhun Tian Realm experts.

Seeing this, Ye Chen turned and vanished into the darkness.

His goal achieved, there was no need to clash head-on with the Shixue Hall army.

Boom! Boom!

Not long after he left, the ocean of people arrived, shaking Xu Tian with their force.

Damn it!

Gazing at Xue Liao's body pinned in the void, the Shixue Hall experts erupted in rage, and the army spread out, frantically searching.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already escaped into the mountains, moving like a streak of divine light and fully utilizing his evasion skills.

It wasn't until the second night that he stopped in a remote, desolate forest.

After scanning his surroundings, he took out the essence of Xue Liao's Tian Yan.

Xue Liao's Tian Yan essence was still two illusory eyes, containing pure pupil force, which Ye Chen's Immortal Wheel Eye absorbed forcefully.

Immediately, his divine sea trembled, and the Immortal Wheel mark rotated slightly, greatly increasing his pupil force. The entire world became much clearer in his eyes, with an indescribable aura of the Dao emerging.

Not bad at all!

A smile tugged at Ye Chen's lips.

For the next dozen days, it was a life on the run.

During this time, he faced multiple ambushes from the Bei Chu army, but each time he routed them.

That night, he once again dragged his blood-soaked sacred body into the vast mountains.

"Just you wait."

Ye Chen crushed some pills and devoured the essence madly. Though he had been injured repeatedly, his mood was still quite good.

Along the way, he hadn't just been killing—he had also plundered treasures, amassing a true fortune.

More importantly, what pleased him most was drawing all of Bei Chu's attention to himself, buying precious time for Nan Chu to build their defenses. That was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Boss, are you still alive? I..."

"Ye Chen."

His Xing Chen Dao Body's voice rang out, but before he could finish, it was interrupted by Chu Ling Er's voice, which carried a sob.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Ye Chen smiled warmly.

"I'll find the master. Stay home and wait for us to return."

"If you dare die out there, I'll marry someone else."

Chu Ling Er said, tears welling in her beautiful eyes.

"Don't joke around, I..."

Ye Chen's words trailed off as his brow furrowed, and he instinctively looked deeper into the mountains.

Something was different there. It looked ordinary, but faint, ethereal mists were drifting about.

Vaguely, he could see a graceful figure dancing, like a dreamlike illusion—a exiled immortal descended from the nine heavens, pure and flawless.

Subconsciously, Ye Chen stood up and activated his Immortal Wheel Eye, slowly approaching.

After advancing a thousand zhang, he realized that these mountains were concealed by a powerful hidden formation. Due to its age, the formation's foundations had weakened, revealing a clue—otherwise, even he might not have noticed it.

It's actually a separate realm inside!

Ye Chen murmured to himself, concentrating his pupil force in his left eye until it narrowed to a line, piercing through the mists to see the deepest scene.

It was a valley, with a stone tablet covered in flower petals standing before it. Etched on the tablet were three ancient characters: Luo Shen Abyss.
