Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 716 - 668: Long Li’s Thoughts

The Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree was a relic left behind by the Heavenly Divine Venerable, the "Nine Suns Venerable," and a wondrous creation of heaven and earth.

Even many formidable Divine Kings and even the Earth Divine Venerable could not leave a mark on the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree.

Yet the flames that erupted from Ye Chen’s body instantly turned a large section of the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree’s trunk into pitch-black charred wood, indicating just how immense the power of these flames was!

It was only because Ye Chen was the master of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" and, despite the backlash, was not directly subjected to the full onslaught of the flame’s killing power. Otherwise, even with his Undying Divine Body, he would likely have been burnt alive!

At this moment, seeing Ye Chen in such distress from the backlash of the extreme "Blue Extreme Iceflame," even though they knew Ye Chen seemed to be gradually losing consciousness, appearing as if mad, Yang Yun and Yang Yan did not dare to approach him in the slightest.

They feared that the terrifying "Blue Extreme Iceflame" that killed Qin Feng might erupt from Ye Chen again, incinerating them on the spot as well!

They could only watch as Ye Chen madly crashed against the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree and the ground, their eyes filled with shock and darting around rapidly, as if they were contemplating something.

Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi, on the other hand, were extremely worried and anxious at Ye Chen’s current state.

But the four of them were completely powerless to help.

The backlash from this extreme artifact left them without a solution, despite their extraordinary combat strength within the God King Realm.

"What do we do!"

"If Ye Chen continues like this, I fear a serious problem will occur!"

"We are currently exploring the Nine Suns Ancient Land, with no way to seek external help, and the outside world will not intervene in this expedition. If something serious happens to Ye Chen due to the backlash, it would be a great loss for our entire Divine Kingdom!"

Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, Hong Ming, and Hong Yi all furrowed their brows, urgently contemplating if there was any way to help Ye Chen.

Hidden within the snow jade pendant, Xiaojiu was the most nervous of all.

Xiaojiu hadn’t expected that right after Ye Chen emerged from the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree, he would be attacked by Qin Feng. Nor had she expected the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" to be even more terrifying than imagined, actually intervening directly and killing Qin Feng on the spot.

Killing Qin Feng was, of course, not something Xiaojiu regretted.

But the sudden activation of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" and its backlash against Ye Chen completely worried Xiaojiu.

"The Heavenly Union Flame has not been fully nurtured into the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ and the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’ itself is an extreme artifact. With Ye Chen’s current realm, it is impossible to fully control it."

"How can I help Ye Chen break free from this backlash?!"

"Perhaps, only Long Li can help Ye Chen now!"

In an instant, Xiaojiu thought of someone.

She thought of Long Li, who was swept into the lava pool with Ye Chen and had absorbed the other half of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

Although Xiaojiu’s Divine Soul had been confined within the snow jade pendant by the Heavenly Union Flame, and she had not witnessed Ye Chen and Long Li absorbing the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," based on what she later heard from Ye Chen and the fact that she received the remaining half of "Blue Extreme Iceflame," she could easily piece together the situation of the two people.

Xiaojiu knew that they had faced the terrifying influence of the Heavenly Union Flame together before and had coped with it.

If Long Li were present during this backlash, she would definitely have a way to help Ye Chen.

Thinking of the solution, which likely involved the two of them cultivating together to suppress the impact of the "Heavenly Union Flame" on the Divine Soul, Xiaojiu couldn’t help but blush.

But at this moment, Xiaojiu could no longer be concerned with her embarrassment.

Her eyes peered through the jade pendant, searching desperately for Long Li as she looked at Ye Chen, who was being tortured by the backlash of both the "Heavenly Union Flame" and the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," appearing utterly frenzied.

"Long Li quickly flew away from the Bottomless Fire Cave earlier; she must have done so because of what happened with Ye Chen... perhaps she didn’t know how to face him."

"I fear by now she’s already vanished without a trace, completely unaware of Ye Chen’s condition!"

"If this goes on, even though Ye Chen has subdued the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’ and isn’t in mortal danger, a backlash that injures his Divine Soul and body will greatly affect his future cultivation!"

"Ye Chen can probably only endure at most for the duration of an incense stick’s burning before he can no longer withstand the killing force of the backlash, and his Divine Soul and body’s foundation will be thoroughly damaged!"

"What do I do? What do I do?!"

Xiaojiu was so anxious inside the snow jade pendant that she paced back and forth.

...

At this time, right after Ye Chen had killed Qin Feng and fallen into the backlash, Xiaojiu was extremely worried and simultaneously searching for Long Li.

Long Li, carrying Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing, had almost flown out of the Nine Suns Realm and was about to enter the Fiery Realm at the central region of the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

During their flight, seeing Long Li’s face flushed with embarrassment, her delicate ears completely red, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing also began to realize that something unusual was going on with Long Li.

"Why has Long Li become like this ever since she came out of the Bottomless Fire Cave?"

"She has always been composed, even when facing great powers from the Sovereign Realm. She’s never had such intense emotional turmoil."

"What exactly happened in the Bottomless Fire Cave!"

"In the Bottomless Fire Cave, Long Li was with Ye Chen. Could it be that something happened between the two of them?"

The more they thought about it, the more Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing felt that something was wrong.

Eventually, both women couldn’t help but fly up to Long Li and asked her, "Sister Long Li, what exactly is wrong?"

"Who got the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame’ in the Bottomless Fire Cave between you and Ye Chen? And why does Sister Long Li seem so out of sorts?"

When Long Li heard Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing mention the name of Ye Chen, her mind went blank in an instant.

Ye Chen was the young man she had had relations with!

The mere mention of Ye Chen’s name caused images of their competition in cultivating the "Method of Fire Control" within the Bottomless Fire Cave to involuntarily surface in Long Li’s mind.

Images of being swept into the fiery pit together with Ye Chen.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Even more so, images of her and Ye Chen embraced in a way that made her so ashamed she dared not think about it further!

Long Li’s feelings for Ye Chen were truly complex.

Before anything happened with Ye Chen, she had a slight fondness for him.

After all, Ye Chen was the first peer she had met whose talent was on par with hers, the first who could compete with her head-to-head.

He was, moreover, the only one who could trigger the "Star Luo God Ring" within her body!

In short, Ye Chen possessed qualities that differed from others, qualities that allowed Long Li, a typically cool and detached girl, to feel no aversion upon meeting him.

But even with that fondness, the sixteen-year-old Long Li had never even considered other matters.

She had never imagined that she would become involved with Ye Chen.

This completely shattered Long Li’s perception.

Let alone being intimate, she had never even held hands with any other male martial artist. In fact, she kept her distance from other male martial artists in her daily life and didn’t have any close male friends.

But now, to suddenly become so intimate with Ye Chen, and to have such an encounter was naturally a cause for both shyness and frustration in the utterly unprepared Long Li.

"Ye Chen he..." Long Li looked at Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing, completely at a loss for what to say to them.

She was, of course, too embarrassed to say that she had been intimate with Ye Chen.

She was even more embarrassed to admit that her panic was due to her fear of facing Ye Chen.

Long Li’s evasive demeanor only made Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing more suspicious.

When both women sensed the peculiar aura of Ye Chen on Long Li’s body, their hearts skipped a beat.

"Could it be that Sister Long Li and Ye Chen..."

Considering a possibility, both women were so shocked they almost plummeted from the sky.

Their Sister Long Li, what kind of person was she?

She was the first goddess of the entire Supreme Divine Institute, and the darling younger girl dearly beloved by sisters of the preceding two Northern Territory Kings!

The number of people pursuing Long Li throughout the entire Divine Kingdom of Wan Mu Mountain ranged in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

But no one had ever heard of anyone getting close to Long Li.

If Ye Chen had truly been involved with Long Li...

Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing had no idea what kind of tumult this would cause in the Divine Kingdom!

The two women couldn’t help but turn around to look towards the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree to see if Ye Chen had emerged from there.

Although they had already flown far away from the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree, as upper God King Realm cultivators, their Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, instantly spanning the vast distance to see what was happening there.

The instant they turned around, they saw Ye Chen reeling from the backlash after slaying Qin Feng.

"What’s wrong with Ye Chen?!"

Upon seeing Ye Chen as if engulfed in flames, crashing against the earth and the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree like a madman, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing screamed in shock.

"Ye Chen?!"

When Long Li heard the screams of Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing, heard something seemed to have happened to Ye Chen,

she immediately halted in flight, in a panic, looking back towards the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree as well.

When she saw Ye Chen in agony, wildly thrashing due to the backlash from the ’Heavenly Union Flame’ and the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ her heart tightened.

"No good, that’s the backlash from the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ Ye Chen he... why would he use the Blue Extreme Iceflame!"

Long Li stomped her foot in the void anxiously.

She didn’t even have time to alert Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing; her speed increased tenfold in an instant, traversing countless realms in the void, flying rapidly toward where Ye Chen was near the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree.

Previously, Long Li had been waiting for Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing to fly together, and although their flight was fast, it was certainly not her fastest.

But seeing Ye Chen in trouble, Long Li had no hesitation whatsoever.

Subconsciously, she flew at top speed, rushing to Ye Chen’s aid!

Despite not knowing how to face Ye Chen, Long Li had an instinct deep within her heart.

She didn’t want to see Ye Chen get hurt!
