Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 910 - 860: Great Change of Taiyi! (Second Update)
"Get behind me now!"
As countless Purple Silver Pearls explosively shot toward them, the Taiyi Divine Power within Ye Chen surged forth, transforming into a massive black-and-white Light Shield, which he planted firmly in front of them.
At the same time, Ye Chen reached out with one large hand, directly pulling Mu Qingxue and several others around him behind his back.
Hearing Ye Chen's urgent shout, the other people also panicked and rushed toward him desperately.
However, the speed at which the Purple Silver Pearls were shooting was terrifyingly fast.
While Ye Chen could surpass their deadly speed, most others didn't have such rapid reflexes.
In an instant, five people were pierced through by countless explosively fired Purple Silver Pearls, their bodies riddled with holes. Even their Divine Power was obliterated, and they were killed on the spot.
Only the few Ye Chen had saved, along with some quick-reacting Divine Kings, managed to hide behind him in time. Ye Chen's massive black-and-white Light Shield, formed from his Taiyi Divine Power, blocked the storm of Purple Silver Pearls directed at them, sparing them from certain death.
Yet, out of the original eighteen survivors, only thirteen remained.
Those who sought refuge behind Ye Chen were fortunate enough to keep their lives, but all of them were pale with fear and shock.
None of them ever imagined encountering such a terrifying outburst of Purple Silver Pearls inside an undersea mountain peak!
Now, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, worried it might disrupt Ye Chen's concentration.
This was because an unending torrent of Purple Silver Pearls continued to shoot out from nine gigantic crater-like openings, bombarding them relentlessly. Meanwhile, Ye Chen was still using his Taiyi Divine Power to resist the onslaught.
The people huddled behind Ye Chen were left questioning: Could Ye Chen endure the prolonged attack of these endlessly firing Purple Silver Pearls?
Try hiding elsewhere?
Both the mountain peak itself and the ocean above were enveloped in the overwhelming barrage of Purple Silver Pearls. Where could they possibly hide?
"Ye Chen, do you need my help?"
Among the people behind Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue was undoubtedly the strongest.
Watching Ye Chen stand alone against the Purple Silver Pearls, Mu Qingxue grew increasingly anxious. She couldn't help but offer her aid.
Although Mu Qingxue wasn't confident she could resist the storm of Purple Silver Pearls, she couldn't allow Ye Chen to bear the burden alone.
"I'm fine. I can still handle these Purple Silver Pearls," Ye Chen said to Mu Qingxue calmly.
The tranquility in Ye Chen's voice sent a tremor through Mu Qingxue's Mind and Spirit. At the same time, it brought relief to the hearts of the other Divine Kings behind him.
Thankfully, Ye Chen was among them. Without him, they would have already perished under the relentless barrage of Purple Silver Pearls.
The nine craters spewed Purple Silver Pearls for nearly an hour before they gradually ceased firing.
As the mountain peak returned to a state of eerie quiet, the thirteen survivors finally dared to catch their breath.
Looking at the now-silent nine massive craters, a Divine King spoke up in astonishment, "Heavens, so the Purple Silver Pearls were shooting out from these nine gigantic craters!"
"During that last hour, it's likely that billions of Purple Silver Pearls were released. How could these nine craters have held so many?"
Another Divine King, surveying the surrounding mountain peaks, turned to Ye Chen and exclaimed, "Ye Chen, take a look! Earlier, many Purple Silver Pearls were flying toward other sections of the mountain. But now, they've completely vanished!"
"There's not a single Purple Silver Pearl to be seen anywhere across the mountain!"
Turning his gaze, Ye Chen confirmed what they'd said. The entire mountain peak was utterly devoid of any Purple Silver Pearls.
Ye Chen murmured, "The Purple Silver Pearls erupt from these nine craters. Those shot into the seawater above could have dispersed across the Sea of Mist—that would explain why the Sea of Mist is filled with them."
"But as for the ones that hit the mountain... why did they disappear? Could it be that this mountain can actually reabsorb the Purple Silver Pearls?"
A thought struck Ye Chen, and he slashed his sword toward a section of the mountain.
A resounding "clang," like the clash of metal, echoed through the air.
Despite Ye Chen's powerful strike, not a single mark was left on the mountain where his sword landed!
This sight left Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.
"The explosive force of the Purple Silver Pearls should be weaker than my sword strike; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to block them."
"But if the Purple Silver Pearls can disappear into the mountain, why can't my sword leave even a scratch on it?"
"Is it the Purple Silver Pearls that are special, or is there something unique about this mountain?"
While Ye Chen pondered, Mu Qingxue spoke up beside him, "Ye Chen, did you notice? Although the Purple Silver Pearls are tremendously strong, their power doesn't surpass yours; that's why you've been able to block them."
"But what's strange is this: even you couldn't escape the massive gravitational pull earlier, yet the Purple Silver Pearls were able to shoot freely into the seawater above. Why is that?" freēnovelkiss.com
Mu Qingxue's words made Ye Chen nod in agreement.
He had indeed noticed this anomaly.
Clearly, neither the Purple Silver Pearls' ability to break through to the seawater above nor their disappearance into the mountain had anything to do with mere force. There must be something extraordinary about the Purple Silver Pearls themselves.
As this realization struck him, Ye Chen suddenly conceived an audacious idea.
Turning to Mu Qingxue and the remaining eleven Divine Kings, Ye Chen said, "It seems the Purple Silver Pearls possess some unique, wondrous properties. I'll test it myself and find out what they are."
"My friends, I have a technique that allows me to transform into a Purple Silver Pearl. When I do, please don't be alarmed."
Transform into a Purple Silver Pearl?
Hearing this, the others were left dumbfounded.
As Divine Kings, some of them had practiced Transformation Divine Arts, but those techniques only changed outward appearances, not the essence of an object.
Even if someone transformed into a Purple Silver Pearl, it wouldn't carry the properties of the real thing. What would be the point of such a transformation?
While they were still confused, Ye Chen's Divine Light flashed brightly. In an instant, he vanished completely, and in his place, a single "Purple Silver Pearl" appeared in the void.
This "Purple Silver Pearl" was identical to the ones they had just seen. Moreover, it exuded the same Divine Light and carried an aura that could nourish their Divine Souls!
"This is... Ye Chen transformed into a 'Purple Silver Pearl'?!"
"Heavens, what kind of Divine Skill is this?! It's nothing like the Transformation Divine Arts we know—it's a full transformation into the essence of a Purple Silver Pearl!"
The group exclaimed in shock, while Mu Qingxue's face reflected profound astonishment.
She suddenly recalled something and said breathlessly, "I once heard of an existence beyond Sovereign who created a peerless Divine Skill. It allows one to transform into anything—completely, down to its essence—and even gain the properties and abilities of that thing. This unparalleled Divine Skill is called 'Transform Easily'! Could it be that Ye Chen has mastered such a legendary Divine Skill?!"
As Mu Qingxue exclaimed in disbelief, the Purple Silver Pearl that Ye Chen had transformed into shot directly away from the undersea mountain peak.
What happened next left everyone utterly stunned.
Previously, anyone who tried to leave the undersea mountain peak was dragged back by an immense force. Yet now, the Purple Silver Pearl that Ye Chen had become appeared completely unaffected by the pulling force. In mere moments, it had flown hundreds of meters away. Soon after, it traveled thousands of meters farther, until it completely vanished from sight.
