Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 759 - 711: Heavenly Decree Nine Transformation Lotus
This enormous Purple Lotus Light Shadow, exuding a mysterious sense of solemnity, brought tranquility to the entire sky upon its appearance.
Even the fourth sword of Ye Chen's "Nine Swords of Annihilation," the "Qiankun Shake," which had shaken the whole world, dissipated into nothingness when approaching the giant Purple Lotus Light Shadow and couldn't get anywhere near it, let alone affect Xue Ningning inside.
Xue Ningning had used her most powerful trump card, and blocked all of Ye Chen's killer moves in one fell swoop!
Upon seeing the mysterious and solemn Purple Lotus Light Shadow, the "Qiankun Shake" unable to cause the slightest tremor, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and ceased his attacks.
Ye Chen knew that this "Purple Lotus Light Shadow" might be an extraordinary divine object.
Ye Chen did not recognize this Purple Lotus Light Shadow.
However, as soon as Xue Ningning activated this treasure, countless God-Lords and even many Sovereigns present were shocked, and some even exclaimed, "Is that the 'Heavenly Decisive Divine Lotus'? Could it be Elder Tian Jue's Supreme Heavenly Divine Treasure from Divine Miao Peak?!"
"No, it can't be possible. Never mind Supreme Heavenly Divine Treasures, even Mysterious Heavenly Divine Treasures can't be mobilized by those in the True God Realm!"
"But this appearance of the Purple Lotus Light Shadow is strikingly similar to the 'Heavenly Decisive Divine Lotus'; it's just that its divine might seems weaker."
These God-Lords and Sovereigns raced to guess the true origin of the "Purple Lotus Light Shadow" that enveloped Xue Ningning.
And when the two most powerful beings present, the Northern Territory King and Sovereign Xuechen, saw the burst of purple light from Xue Ningning transform into an immense Purple Lotus Light Shadow, their eyes instantly narrowed.
However, after scrutinizing the "Purple Lotus Light Shadow," the two Sovereigns shook their heads again.
"No, this isn't Elder Tian Jue's Supreme Heavenly Divine Treasure 'Heavenly Decisive Divine Lotus.' It's an accessory generated by the 'Heavenly Decisive Divine Lotus,' likely a treasure created from a nascent Supreme object."
"Even so, a treasure forged from a nascent Supreme object is still incredibly precious. Its transformation into a genuine Supreme object in the future is not impossible."
"This Xue Ningning, to have such an item on her, must have an inexplicable connection with Elder Tian Jue from Divine Miao Peak's two Upper God Kings!"
At this thought, the two Sovereigns looked towards Ye Chen, who had ceased his motions after seeing Xue Ningning unleash the Purple Lotus Light Shadow.
"Ye Chen's combat power, for someone in the True God Realm, is already unimaginable, and his defense from the Immortal Body technique is also unparalleled. Moreover, the Defensive Treasure he activated during the grand elimination round when he withstood the joint attack of a hundred True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain, must also be a treasure formed from a nascent Supreme object."
The two Sovereigns thought of Ye Chen's "Star Azure Divine Robe," and with their discernment, they could certainly see the grade of the "Star Azure Divine Robe."
"Strong offensive power, equally strong defensive capability, it could have been said that Ye Chen was unbeatable in this competition of the nine divine institutes."
"However, he surprisingly confronted Xue Ningning..."
At this thought, the two Sovereigns sighed inwardly.
"Although Xue Ningning's attacks seem weaker than Ye Chen's, this Defensive Treasure born from the 'Heavenly Decisive Divine Lotus' is also unparalleled in defense."
"Even if it's just a nascent Supreme object that has not fully matured, it's likely that not even God King Level attacks could penetrate it."
"If both sides cannot breach the other's defense, could it be that Ye Chen and Xue Ningning will end in a draw?"
"If it comes to a draw, and since Xue Ningning has scored more Assessment Points previously, she will remain the top ranker, and Ye Chen can only be second!"
"Is it destined that Ye Chen will fail this trial?"
The two Sovereigns had once said that Ye Chen must fulfill their three demands.

The first of these demands was to seize the true championship of the divine colleges' assessment.
Otherwise, he would be imprisoned for ten thousand years.
Now, Ye Chen was at a deadlock with Xue Ningning, a situation that even the two Sovereigns had not anticipated.
"To break the stalemate, unless... unless Ye Chen possesses a means surpassing God King Level combat strength. Only then, Xue Ningning's nascent Supreme object forged Divine Lotus Treasure, would not be able to withstand."
"But Ye Chen is only a Nine Tribulations True God!"
"A Nine Tribulations True God possessing Upper God King combat strength is already an absolute genius! To have combat strength surpassing that of a God King, reaching God-Lord level, even the weakest Earth God-Lord Level, in the countless eons of the Divine Kingdom is a rarity!"
"After all, the leap in realm and combat strength is too vast."
Even though Ye Chen had already surprised the two Sovereigns many times, they dared not imagine that he could have more strength, that he could still breakthrough.
As the two Sovereigns sighed and even pondered how to give Ye Chen a chance afterward,
Countless others had noticed that Ye Chen's attacks simply couldn't penetrate Xue Ningning's defense.
At this moment, many were worried for Ye Chen,
While others were excited enough to jump for joy.
These people, who harbored hatred against Ye Chen, included the Sect Master of Divine Dragon Mountain and the top two God Kings on the God King Leaderboard, Yang Yun and Yang Yan.
Through the Sovereign next to them, Yang Yun and Yang Yan had already learned about the origins of Xue Ningning's "Purple Lotus Light Shadow" technique. When they heard the powerful Sovereign next to them admiring the "Purple Lotus Light Shadow," Yang Yun and Yang Yan were even more eager to see Ye Chen fail.
"Good, good, truly worthy of a True God from Divine Miao Peak, certainly impressive!"
"Haha, neither Tianyu Beiling nor Moyuan could stop Ye Chen. If Xue Ningning stops Ye Chen, that's fine too. As long as Ye Chen doesn't take first place, he will die a very ugly death!"
The Sect Master of Divine Dragon Mountain, Qin Yuntian, had a gleam in his eye as he recognized that the treasure Xue Ningning was using was forged in the form of a prototype of a Supreme Heavenly Divine Treasure.
"This treasure cannot be breached by any attacks below the level of a God Sovereign. I want to see how Ye Chen can launch an attack of that caliber!"
"That Ye Chen does possess a powerful offensive Divine artifact that can break through defenses, the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' which he used to kill Feng'er. However, I've heard that Ye Chen cannot control the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' and if he uses it, he will definitely suffer a backlash."
"And now, in the midst of battle, as long as Xue Ningning can withstand it for a moment, even two great Sovereigns will find it difficult to intervene and help Ye Chen. After all, Xue Ningning possessing this treasure probably has a lot to do with 'Elder Tian Jue.' 'Elder Tian Jue' herself is a nine-star Sovereign, and she will not sit idly by and let the contest of Divine Miao Peak's successor be interfered with by two great Sovereigns!"
"Even if Ye Chen wins in the end, the backlash he suffers during the battle will definitely make his plight visible to countless people and cause him great embarrassment!"
"And if he doesn't use the Blue Extreme Iceflame, he won't be able to achieve the true first place in the assessment of the nine great Divine Institutes, and he will be imprisoned for ten thousand years! The three demands made by the two great Sovereigns had already spread throughout the Divine Kingdom. If they go back on their word, although no one would dare to openly criticize, their prestige would definitely suffer a big hit."
"I am curious to see how Ye Chen will break out of this dilemma!" Qin Yuntian thought, and for the first time in a long while, he revealed a smile.
Ever since a hundred True Gods from Divine Dragon Mountain were expelled from the assessment by Ye Chen, he had been wearing a cold face for a long time.
Only now, seeing Ye Chen with no countermeasures available, did he let out a cold laugh again.
In the assessment area, on the ground below the five great battle platforms,
the Little Provincial Princess stood among the crowd of assessors. Seeing the astonishing Purple Lotus Light Shadow aura around Xue Ningning, and noticing that Ye Chen had stopped his attack, her little face was filled with worry.
"Brother Ye Chen, you must win!"
The Little Provincial Princess clenched her fists tightly.
Meanwhile, the other nine True God maidens of Divine Miao Peak were also holding their breath.
They had not anticipated that their Sister Ningning would fight Ye Chen to such an extent!
When Ye Chen blocked Xue Ningning's "Ice God Flame," they were shocked by Ye Chen's strength. They knew then that Xue Ningning would probably have to use her trump card.
And when they saw that Xue Ningning indeed used her trump card, their excitement was mixed with pity for Ye Chen.
As True Gods of Divine Miao Peak, they certainly knew how powerful that Purple Lotus Light Shadow aura surrounding Xue Ningning was.
That was a Divine artifact bestowed by their nine-star Sovereign of Divine Miao Peak!
"Sister Ningning is impressive, and Ye Chen is impressive too!"
"It's a pity, only one of them can achieve the true first place. From the looks of it, if neither defeats the other, they might end up tied for first place. Tied for first, including the previous assessment points, Sister Ningning is definitely going to surpass Ye Chen!"
"If Ye Chen fails, I heard he will be imprisoned for ten thousand years by the two great Sovereigns! It would be terrible if someone so powerful were to be imprisoned for ten thousand years."
"But… but Sister Ningning can't possibly let Ye Chen win. Not to mention the pride of a warrior that would prevent Sister Ningning from doing so, our rules at Divine Miao Peak would absolutely not allow Sister Ningning to do that!"
"A warrior's contest is about using one's true abilities; that is the respect due to each other!"
The two little loli sisters from Divine Miao Peak were frowning with worry for Ye Chen at this moment.
The assessment area was filled with discussions both inside and outside.
Above the Void Heaven, Ye Chen and Xue Ningning were at a standoff for a good ten breaths' time.
After those ten breaths, amidst the engulfing aura of the massive Purple Lotus Light Shadow, Xue Ningning called out to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I admire your strength."
"However, my sect has demands, and I cannot relax in the slightest during combat."
"So, even if we end up in a draw in this battle, I will fight with all my might!"
"This 'Heavenly Decree Nine Transformation Lotus' is already my strongest move. Whether you can defeat me depends on if you can break through this 'Heavenly Decree Nine Transformation Lotus'!"
"Make your move, Ye Chen!"
"Either make your move, or we end this battle right now!"
Xue Ningning's voice resonated throughout the empty space.
