Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 905 - 855: Tyranny

"Ye Chen."

"It's Ye Chen, ranked fourth on the Heavenly God List!"

"He's stepped in to help Mu Qingxue!"

Mu Qingxue was shocked to see Ye Chen, and the other observing God Kings likewise exclaimed in surprise.

They were filled with a sense of incredulity.

They knew Ye Chen's strength, but they never expected that he could block even Sima Liao's killing move—Sima Liao, ranked second on the Heavenly God List!

"Could it be that Ye Chen's combat power has reached the level of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable?!"

"When he entered Heavenly God Mountain, he only had combat power at the Middle Heavenly Divine Venerable level on the Heavenly God List. How could he have made such progress in just a few months?!"

Some of them thought of one thing: "It's said that in the first layer of the Great World within Heavenly God Mountain, Ye Chen single-handedly saved dozens of God Kings from Qianjue Divine Kingdom and swept through the Valley of the Wicked, slaying countless assassins and evildoers."

"It seems undeniable—Ye Chen truly lives up to being Wanmu Mountain's unparalleled talent. Though he's the youngest and his realm is inferior to Sima Liao's, his actual combat strength doesn't fall short. His speed of improvement even surpasses everyone else!"

The observing God Kings were moved with admiration.

Sima Liao in the Void Heaven also spotted Ye Chen.

In an instant, killing intent erupted in Sima Liao's eyes.

Originally, Sima Liao harbored murderous intent toward Ye Chen, but he refrained from making a move earlier as it was inconvenient.

Now, Ye Chen had ruined his plans, making him wish to kill Ye Chen immediately to vent his hatred!

"Ye Chen, you court death!"

"This is the Yellow Light Danger Zone within the Sea of Mist—it doesn't forbid fighting. Don't think that having several Sovereigns watching over you will stop me from killing you!"

This time, Sima Liao no longer concealed his murderous intent toward Ye Chen.

Seeing Sima Liao's stern killing intent, the countless observing God Kings were all alarmed.

They knew Ye Chen had angered Sima Liao, and this time, he might be in serious trouble.

Though Ye Chen was powerful, in their eyes, he was still no match for someone like Sima Liao.

"Ye Chen!" Mu Qingxue also trembled, flying to Ye Chen's side.

Despite being astonished by Ye Chen's earlier display of combat strength, the young woman still didn't believe Ye Chen could hold his own against Sima Liao.

Noting Mu Qingxue's worried expression and her action of standing beside him as if to fight alongside him, Ye Chen smiled and gestured gently, "Qingxue, leave this matter to me."

Then, Ye Chen turned to the six God Kings from Lancang Divine Kingdom beside him and said, "Thank you for guiding me."

Finally, Ye Chen strode forward directly, facing Sima Liao, and said aloud: "You say I court death?"

"Go ahead and try."

"We'll see who truly courts death."

Ye Chen's casual words echoed through the Void Heaven of the Sea of Mist, leaving countless observers in shock and disbelief.

The gathering God Kings who had come to watch could clearly see that Ye Chen had no fear of Sima Liao whatsoever!

"Go ahead and try. We'll see who truly courts death."

In fact, Ye Chen's words seemed to indicate he wasn't merely unafraid of Sima Liao but was even confident in his ability to kill him!

This stunned everyone deeply.

After all, Sima Liao was one of only two individuals among countless God Kings entering Heavenly God Mountain who had already advanced to the Divine Venerable Realm.

Although Ye Chen had also broken through his realm, his advancement from Lower God King to Middle God King couldn't compare to Sima Liao's leap from Upper God King to Lower Earth Divine Venerable.

Moreover, Sima Liao's combat power was already ranked higher than Ye Chen's on the Heavenly God List.

The Heavenly God List measured every possible facet of one's power; it couldn't have allowed Ye Chen to conceal anything.

Thus, where did Ye Chen's confidence come from to disregard Sima Liao?

These people didn't know that, while the Heavenly God List could assess others' abilities, it couldn't fully uncover the secrets of Ye Chen, who possessed the Stars Tower.

Neither did they know that Ye Chen's cultivation of Taiyi Divine Power made his breakthrough from Lower God King to Middle God King far more impressive than Sima Liao's advance from Upper God King to Lower Earth Divine Venerable!

Ye Chen had never feared Sima Liao.

At this point, with his realm elevated further, Ye Chen was absolutely confident he could defeat Sima Liao.

The two formidable figures stood face-to-face in the Void Heaven.

One was Wanmu Mountain's Heaven's Chosen God King.

One was Snow Desert Divine Kingdom's extraordinary prodigy.

The awe-inspiring aura emanating from these two was enough to strike fear into the hearts of countless challengers.

The challengers sighed in admiration—these were the true elites among the fifty-three thousand competitors!

The top-tier talents!

At this moment, the two faced off, neither willing to back down an inch. Everyone eagerly awaited the ultimate clash between Ye Chen and Sima Liao to determine who truly proved stronger.

"Ye Chen!"

Watching Ye Chen standing in front of her, shielding her from Sima Liao, Mu Qingxue's enchanting eyes sparkled.

Ever since hearing Ye Chen's name from Long Li, Mu Qingxue had been curious to meet Ye Chen.

From the moment she first encountered Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue had been awed by his strength. Now, seeing Ye Chen shielding her from harm, Mu Qingxue genuinely felt a deep respect for him from the bottom of her heart.

"No wonder Sister Long Li is fond of Ye Chen."

"He truly is an exceptional talent—the only one worthy of Sister Long Li!"

Ye Chen's remark turned what seemed to be Sima Liao's overwhelming advantage into a balance of power between the two.

Seeing countless observers anticipate the outcome of their clash angered Sima Liao.

How could he willingly share equal footing with Ye Chen?

To Sima Liao, only he was stronger; Ye Chen was unfit to challenge him.

Others hoping to see a competitive fight insulted him.

From his perspective, any fight with Ye Chen could only end in one result: Ye Chen defeated, Ye Chen dead!

Fed up, Sima Liao decided he wouldn't waste more words with Ye Chen.

The blood-red Divine Light surging from his body expanded across the sky.

"Ye Chen, you and Mu Qingxue must die!"

Sima Liao's cold proclamation barely finished when, instead of activating his Divine Artifact for a killing move, his entire body erupted, manifesting seven thousand-foot tall blood-red bear projections.

The seven colossal bear projections roared in unison, and Sima Liao's body grew exponentially larger, enveloped in a massive bear-like radiance that made him appear as an indomitable giant.

With a ferocious burst of speed, Sima Liao charged directly at Ye Chen.

When they saw Sima Liao's seven blood-red bear projections, many God Kings felt a chill: "Could this be the 'Sky-Extinguishing Eight Bear God Body'? This Divine Body is said to be one of the most formidable melee combat Divine Bodies, ranking among the very top even within Divine Venerable-grade physiques."

"Seven blood-red bear projections—this clearly indicates the Sky-Extinguishing Eight Bear God Body has reached Great Accomplishment!"

"I've never heard of Sima Liao cultivating this God Body; he hid it well."

"It's probably thanks to mastering this God Body that he surpassed Hua Xuelian on the Heavenly God List!"

As the God Kings marveled, Sima Liao—now resembling a towering giant or a mighty divine bear—had already lunged at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, however, did not dodge. Instead, his body radiated a terrifying halo of black and white Divine Light.

This was the true form of Taiyi Divine Power!

Boom.

In an instant, Taiyi Divine Power infused Ye Chen's physical form.

Compared to any previous activation of Taiyi Divine Power, this surge was far more overwhelming—proof of the power Ye Chen could unleash after advancing to the Middle God King rank.

With the black and white Divine Light of Taiyi Divine Power coursing through him, Ye Chen charged straight at the incoming Sima Liao.

Ye Chen was choosing to engage in close-quarters combat directly with Sima Liao!

As the two powerhouse figures prepared to clash, countless observing challengers felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Some even turned pale and exclaimed: "It's known that Ye Chen cultivates the 'Ancient Undying Divine Body', which is rumored to be among the strongest Sovereign-grade Divine Bodies."

"But Ye Chen is said to have only mastered the first tier, the Earth Divine Pattern, of the Ancient Undying Divine Body."

"If he had reached the third tier of the five Divine Patterns, he would easily counter Sima Liao. But with only one Earth Divine Pattern, he likely can't withstand Sima Liao's Great Accomplishment-level Sky-Extinguishing Eight Bear God Body!"

Even as these words of alarm rang out, they abruptly fell silent.

The observers caught sight of the two mighty figures colliding, their Divine Body strengths intertwining with terrifying force.

The outcome was utterly beyond anyone's expectations!

Sima Liao, who had displayed an overwhelming aura—especially with the seven towering bear projections that enveloped him—clearly seemed far more imposing than Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen, wrapped in a black and white Divine Light, landed a single punch that sent Sima Liao's gigantic, expanded frame flying backward!

Even more frightening, Ye Chen showed no intention of stopping. Stepping forward into the Void Heaven, he pursued the retreating Sima Liao, unleashing punch after punch with such devastating force that the Void shattered around them.

These punches were none other than the Earth Divine Pattern's signature move—Earth Collapse!

The punches resembled enormous hammers, each one landing violently on Sima Liao.

Sima Liao couldn't even mount a defense; Ye Chen's relentless strikes ultimately drove him crashing into the Sea of Mist.

Silence.

Everyone was stunned into silence.

The countless spectators, many of whom understood the Earth Divine Pattern's techniques, had never imagined Ye Chen's mastery over them could be so powerful.

Ye Chen had completely overwhelmed and smashed Sima Liao, who had activated the Great Accomplishment-level Sky-Extinguishing Eight Bear God Body, leaving him utterly defenseless!

"It's the special Divine Light emanating from Ye Chen—it's enhanced his Ancient Undying Divine Body's power!"

"It's precisely that unique Divine Light, fused with the Ancient Undying Divine Body, which has made his Earth Divine Pattern techniques so terrifyingly strong!"

Someone uncovered the secret, their gaze falling upon Ye Chen's extraordinary black and white Divine Light, filled with astonished dread.
