Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 786 - 737: Battle of the Earth Divine Venerable

Hidden deep within "Divine Lotus Peak," the three mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables likely never imagined that their whereabouts had already been discovered by Xiaojiu and relayed to Ye Chen.

The "Ni Shan God King" would be even more surprised that he had been targeted by a descendant of a God King whom he had wronged and long since forgotten!

The Treasure Exchange Event officially began.

The plaza in front of the mountain gate was bustling with activity.

This was the grand gathering that took place every three years for these one thousand clans, with nearly each family bringing out their treasures to continuously exchange with other clans.

Even Ping'er and her grandfather brought out several treasured items from their family's collection to exchange for some precious cultivation materials for Ping'er.

The entire Treasure Exchange Event lasted the whole morning.

The warriors in the field were still not satisfied.

However, at this moment, they had all begun to put away their treasures.

They knew there would be time later to exchange treasures, but now was the main event of the "Treasure Exchange Event," where the patron ancestors of the one thousand families would display their combat powers and fight each other!

All eyes turned towards the void space beyond the mountain gate plaza.

In those gazes, there was reverence, admiration, fear, and above all, anticipation.

As these people were looking on, Ping'er quietly transmitted a message to Ye Chen, "Uncle Ye Chen, the 'Treasure Exchange Event' offerings to the patron ancestors have been going on for thousands of years."

"Over these thousands of years, many families have fallen, but new ones have risen, and there have always been one thousand families required by these patron ancestors to continually offer tributes."

"Initially, some families were unwilling, but they were all brutally suppressed by the patron ancestors; later on, the offering throughout the 'Treasure Exchange Event' became a tradition."

"And every time, the battle among several patron ancestors at the 'Treasure Exchange Event' serves as a deterrent. They want to show the one thousand families their powerful might, sufficient to dominate the entire continent!"

Ping'er spoke with utmost seriousness.

Clearly, these words must have been told to her by the elders of her family.

Hearing Ping'er's words, Ye Chen smiled and patted her head. Then, his gaze also turned towards the large mountains beyond the plaza at the mountain gate.

"These three mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables sure know how to enjoy themselves, directly suppressing a whole Star Continent and demanding continuous offerings from the clans on the continent."

"They are clever indeed, choosing only one thousand families and collecting tribute only once every three years; no doubt even the Western Territory King Mansion of the Divine Kingdom wouldn't bother with them," he said.

"However, small streams make a big river. Over the years, the tributes they have collected must amount to a staggering figure."

"Merely through intimidation, they get to enjoy all manner of offerings—a clever tactic indeed!"

While Ye Chen was pondering, Xiaojiu chuckled and sent a telepathic message to him, "Ye Chen, since that 'Ni Shan God King' has been serving as a patron ancestor for so many years, he must have accumulated quite a collection of treasures."

"Although he is just an Earth Divine Venerable, and the offerings from below may not be too valuable, the total is probably still worth a considerable amount of Black Divine Coins."

"After we deal with that 'Ni Shan God King,' we can take those treasures, which will surely be of great help to your cultivation!"

Upon hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he nodded in agreement.

Just as Ye Chen and Xiaojiu were "scheming," laughter echoed across Void Heaven.

"Time truly flies! Before you realize it, the day of the 'Treasure Exchange Event' has arrived again!"

"Ni Shan, Wanbo, I wonder if the two of you have made any progress during this period of seclusion!"

"Master Liancheng, last time you claimed first place in the 'Tri-ancestor Fight' and enjoyed a lot of offerings, but this time the offerings should fall to me, Wanbo!"

"Fellow Daoists, I did not put forth my full strength when refining treasures before. However, this time I, Ni Shan, must take first place in the 'Tri-ancestor Fight.' I have some matters that require the assistance of these little families down below!"

Amidst the conversing voices echoing in all directions, the silhouettes of three mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables appeared as if out of nowhere, flying straight out from the giant mountain peaks behind the plaza.

In an instant, they arrived above the extreme heavens of the mountain gate plaza!

Then, the three mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables directly fixed their divine gaze on the countless warriors from the one thousand families below.

"We greet the patron ancestors!"

Seeing these three prominent mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables, numerous warriors from different families prostrated themselves on the ground.

Many others were seeing these fabled mid-tier Earth Divine Venerables for the first time, completely stunned by their awe-inspiring presence in the field.

Of course, Ye Chen had no intention of kneeling before these three individuals.

Hidden among the crowd, Ye Chen had previously identified these three individuals through Xiaojiu's investigation, and seeing them now, they were exactly as Xiaojiu had described.

The leftmost one, with withered brows and clad in yellow robes, was the "Ni Shan God King."

According to their conversation, the middle one, a gray-robed and rotund middle-aged man, must be the "Master Liancheng" who had won the previous Tri-ancestor Fight.

The youngest looking one at the end was a long-haired youth clad in purple, known as "Master Wanbo."

It was these three who occupied Divine Lotus Peak, held esteem on the Snow Lotus Mountain Continent, and enjoyed countless offerings!

The three mid-rank Earth Divine Venerables of Void Heaven swept their gazes over the crowd below before shifting their attention away.

To them, those below were mere small fries, endlessly providing tributes; they simply didn't take them to heart.

"Since the assembly has begun," said Master Liancheng among the three, "let us follow the usual rules of the competition. You two fight first to decide the victor, and then the winner can challenge me, the champion of the last session."

"Hehe, haven't moved a muscle in three years; I'm getting a bit itchy for action," said Master Wanbo, turning to look at Ni Shan God King upon hearing Master Liancheng's words, "Ni Shan, let's see the power of your 'Blood Puppet'."

Ni Shan God King gave a noncommittal smile, waved his large hand downwards, and suddenly a shocking barrier enveloped everyone in the plaza below.

"We will still follow the old rules; we cannot touch the barrier below, to avoid injuring these youngsters who submit their offerings to us. Let's battle up here in Void Heaven."

"Wanbo, make your move!"

In an instant, Master Liancheng stepped aside.

Ni Shan God King and Master Wanbo then faced each other directly in the void!

"It's started; the battle between the mid-rank Earth Divine Venerables is about to begin!"

The countless onlookers were ecstatic.

Many of them had come to submit offerings just to witness this world-shaking battle, just to behold the grandeur of the legendary mid-rank Earth Divine Venerables!

"Uncle Ye Chen, are you as powerful as them?!" Ping'er was extremely excited, her curiosity getting the better of her as she suddenly sent a telepathic message to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smiled and telepathically replied, "My own realm is not up to par with these individuals."

"However, if it really came to a fight, I do have some methods up my sleeve to deal with them."

"Really? Oh my, Uncle Ye Chen, you're incredible!" Ping'er's heart thumped wildly with excitement.

She looked around stealthily as if afraid that someone would overhear, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her and her Uncle Ye Chen, she felt relieved and said, "Uncle Ye Chen, I know you must be concealing your strength on purpose. Don't worry, Ping'er will definitely keep your secret."

"Hehe, to think that I came to watch the battle between a couple of great figures, only to meet an even more formidable Uncle Ye Chen!"

While Ping'er was somewhat excited, her grandfather glanced at her and said, "Ping'er, quickly watch the battle in the sky. The two venerated ancestors are about to fight. You've always wanted to see this, so don't miss out on this world-shaking battle."

Ping'er responded to her grandfather with a covert wink at Ye Chen.

Then she, together with Ye Chen, watched the sky with a light chuckle.

Above in Void Heaven.

Ni Shan God King and Master Wanbo, standing opposite each other, didn't mobilize their immense Divine Power like the battles of the True God Kings.

They simply pinched their fingers to cast a spell, and each released a mysterious object.

In front of Ni Shan God King appeared a Combat Puppet, vividly detailed with eyes, eyebrows, and mouth, clad in blood-red armor.

Master Wanbo, on the other hand, summoned a palm-sized, dark-black mountain.

The next moment, the Blood Puppet and the dark-black mountain in front of the two expanded dramatically, clashing at an unbelievable speed.

The dark-black mountain transformed instantly into a mountain of a thousand zhang tall, ruthlessly bearing down upon the Blood Puppet below.

The Blood Puppet also swelled to a titanic size in an instant and, with a swing of its fist, sent the imposing dark-black mountain flying tens of thousands of zhang away.

The battle of this caliber between mid-rank Earth Divine Venerables was astoundingly inconceivable!

Xiaojiu also telepathically said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, cultivating to the Earth Divine Venerable realm, one's Divine Power surges to extreme heights. Their battles hinge more on the Life-bound Treasures they've been refining over time!"

"Having undergone countless years of refinement, these Life-bound Treasures possess terrifying offensive power. Once fully unleashed, they can even far exceed the combat level of the Earth Divine Venerable themselves."

"Don't think that these two mid-rank Earth Divine Venerables are merely letting their Life-bound Treasures fight; if both artifacts unleash their full battle power, they could effortlessly shatter an ordinary Star Continent!"

Hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen's heart was also stirred.

Earth Divine Venerable battles were indeed different from those of Divine Kings, not only fighting themselves but also relying on a myriad of Life-bound Treasures.

In such circumstances, owning a Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact or the legendary Ultimate Heavenly Artifact would likely skyrocket one's combat power to unimaginable levels!

No wonder Ye Chen had heard that those in the Divine Venerable Realm and Sovereign Realm were all coveting the Ultimate Heavenly Artifacts.

Ye Chen's gaze was especially fixed on the Blood Puppet in front of Ni Shan God King. Ye Chen had used various Combat Puppets before, but their techniques were very rigid, capable only of manifesting part of the original master's combat power.

Just like the Combat Puppet left to him by the Frozen God King, it only had the combat power of a mid-rank Divine King, nowhere near the True God King's actual strength.

Yet at this moment, Ye Chen sensed a true mid-rank Earth Divine Venerable killing intent from the Blood Puppet of Ni Shan God King, and he felt that the puppet seemed to hold some unfathomable power yet to be utilized.
