Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 906 - 856: Miraculous Treasure

At this moment, Mu Qingxue's delicate lips opened wide in astonishment.

Initially, she was worried that Ye Chen would not be able to stand against Sima Liao. Even after Ye Chen reassured her, she still considered whether she should act alongside him.

But now, as soon as Ye Chen made his move, Mu Qingxue felt completely relieved.

From a single glance, Mu Qingxue could tell that regardless of the techniques Ye Chen employed, he showed no fear toward Sima Liao.

Earlier, Ye Chen had already helped her break Sima Liao's "Great Devouring Ghost-killing Divine Light," and now he even thoroughly suppressed Sima Liao's Great Accomplishment-level "Sky-Extinguishing Eight Bear God Body!"

Amid Mu Qingxue's overwhelming joy and the stunned expressions of countless spectating Divine Kings—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sima Liao, who had been hammered into the Sea of Mist below, caused a massive pit in the waters upon impact. In the next moment, an enormous surge of seawater erupted from the pit, and Sima Liao's figure leapt out of the Sea of Mist once again.

This time, Sima Liao emerged disheveled, his hair wild and his eyes bloodshot, resembling a vengeful ghost.

Clearly, having been suppressed by Ye Chen and even struck down into the Sea of Mist earlier had deeply embarrassed him. Now, his fury and killing force had intensified to their absolute peak!

BOOM!

With a thunderous detonation, Sima Liao, who had shot out from the Sea of Mist, stood in the Void once again.

Disheveled and wild-haired, Sima Liao fixed his chilly gaze on Ye Chen and said grimly, "Ye Chen, you've forced me to this point."

"Originally, I had intended to leave you an intact corpse. But now, I will utterly annihilate you to dust and ashes!"

As he spoke, Sima Liao abruptly reached out with his large hand, and a palm-sized white skull materialized in his grasp.

"This is a miraculous treasure I obtained in the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's grand world. Accept your death!"

With an abrupt motion, Sima Liao pointed his other hand at the white skull, and in an instant, a drop of his lifeblood flew into the skull.

In that moment, the otherwise unremarkable white skull suddenly emitted two ghostly blue flames from its eye sockets.

In the blink of an eye—

The entire skull radiated an extraordinary, scorching power. This force instantly caused countless places in the Void to explode, while below, countless waves in the Sea of Mist evaporated into nothingness.

What was more horrifying, as this scorching force surged outward, two beams of piercing white light shot out of the ghostly blue flames within the skull, heading directly for Ye Chen like certain death.

Upon witnessing these two beams of white light and feeling the intense, oppressive power they carried, countless spectating Divine Kings were stricken with fear.

They couldn't help but sense that this miraculous treasure seemed completely foreign to their realm, carrying an eerily extreme killing force!

At this moment, facing the encroaching white beams, Ye Chen's expression abruptly shifted.

Yet, Ye Chen did not show any signs of panic.

Instead, with a furrowed brow, the black-and-white Divine Power around Ye Chen rapidly transformed into a pale golden Divine Power, surging toward his Qi Sea.

Instantly, streams of pale golden energy enveloped Ye Chen's entire body.

Ye Chen's posture shifted into that of wielding a sword in the Void, whereupon two shadows of Yin-and-Yang Divine Swords appeared in his hands.

This was none other than Ye Chen's most powerful killing technique, capable of channeling the Starry Origin Power—his self-created ultimate move: the second style of Origin Slash!

In the past, this technique had shattered an entire small world.

Now, as Ye Chen unleashed it in response, two peerless sword lights shot forth, colliding directly with the two white beams from the skull treasure wielded by Sima Liao.

From Sima Liao's deployment of the treasure to Ye Chen's counterattack, it all transpired within a fraction of a blink.

In that instant, everyone saw the beams and sword lights clashing violently.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of earth-shattering explosions erupted as the four divine lights collided, unleashing terrifying shockwaves that triggered monstrous tsunamis in the Sea of Mist below. Even the surrounding spectators were hurled far away.

When the spectating challengers managed to steady themselves and fly back, they saw that Sima Liao and Ye Chen, both at the epicenter of the clash, had been blasted several thousand feet away, yet they still faced each other directly!

Even though Sima Liao had erupted in fury and aimed to obliterate Ye Chen entirely, Ye Chen had managed to withstand Sima Liao's killing strike!

"Impossible!"

Sima Liao was utterly shocked.

He couldn't believe that Ye Chen had managed to block his miraculous treasure, one so fearsome that even he approached it with trepidation, obtained from the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's grand world!

At this moment, Sima Liao appeared deranged.

He had been summoned by Divine Dragon Mountain Sect Master Qin Yuntian to deal with Ye Chen, harboring the intent to kill him from the start. All along, he believed Ye Chen was no match for him.

Now, with his own killing strikes being suppressed and even his newly acquired overwhelming power proving ineffective, this revealed one undeniable truth: he was entirely inferior to Ye Chen.

How could Sima Liao possibly accept such a result?

With madness in his bloodshot eyes, Sima Liao stared at the white skull in his hands as if making a desperate decision.

Gripping the skull tightly, streams of fresh blood suddenly flowed from his hands.

In moments, the thick blood soaked the white skull entirely, dyeing it crimson red.

Then, something truly horrifying occurred.

The white skull abruptly flew out of Sima Liao's hands, hovering in the Void and spinning rapidly.

The ghostly blue flames in the skull's eye sockets then shot out, like eerie eyes locking onto Ye Chen.

In the next instant, these two ghostly blue flames surged toward Ye Chen like infernal fire.

Previously, the white beams emitted by the flames had already forced Ye Chen to counter with his strongest killing technique. Now, as the flames advanced entirely, their killing force was undoubtedly greater.

What countermeasure could Ye Chen employ?

"These flames are likely Immortal Divine Venerable-level Mystic Heavenly Fire, and among flames of its rank, it's extraordinarily powerful!"

"The 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' I possess is definitely stronger than these ghostly blue flames. However, the current power of the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' I can harness may not be sufficient to block these flames."

"And besides, these flames and the skull seem to be treasures from the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain's grand world, carrying a trace of profound strangeness. 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' is my ultimate card, and I should avoid using it if possible."

"It looks like I'll have to resort to that peculiar relic!"

In an instant, Ye Chen's mind flashed with calculations, yet he did not hesitate.

A copper gong and a wooden mallet suddenly appeared in his hands.

The moment the objects materialized, Ye Chen's Taiyi Divine Power surged like a waterfall into the wooden mallet.

Then, with a single strike, the mallet collided with the copper gong, producing a deep, resounding "Dong."

In that instant, something astonishing occurred.

The faint sound reverberated through the battlefield, and all present—whether Sima Liao, Mu Qingxue, or the countless spectating Divine Kings—felt their Divine Power within their Divine Bodies entirely frozen.

Even the two blue flames about to burn through Ye Chen were forcibly frozen in the Void, suspended and unable to advance an inch closer.
