Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 926 - 876: The Battle of the Purple Crystal Mountain (2nd Update)

Originally, Ye Chen had intended to eliminate Sima Liao.

Later, when Sima Liao joined the Second Commander Zone under the Qing Shan Divine Master, it became inconvenient for Ye Chen to act, so he suppressed his killing intent for Sima Liao.

Now, however, Sima Liao had turned around to try and kill him instead.

So how could Ye Chen possibly be afraid?!

Even though he knew Sima Liao must have gained numerous techniques from Qing Shan Divine Master to dare to attack him, Ye Chen still felt no fear at all!

After all, Sima Liao wasn't a Divine Master, but merely a small Earth Divine Venerable. Even if he borrowed treasures, he couldn't fully unleash their true combat potential.

On the other hand, Ye Chen's methods far exceeded Sima Liao's by countless measures!

As long as Qing Shan Divine Master himself didn't intervene, Ye Chen had nothing to fear!

Even if Qing Shan Divine Master did step in, Ye Chen would ensure it wouldn't go smoothly for him!

This was because Ye Chen had clearly noticed that, when Qing Shan Divine Master looked at him coldly, his Qi Sea's Stars Tower trembled faintly again.

It seemed as though it was prepared to defend its master!

This even sparked a thought in Ye Chen's mind—he was almost tempted to let Qing Shan Divine Master make a move, just to see what sort of miraculous transformation the Stars Tower left behind by the Zi Ji Star Lord would undergo before the Cosmic Sea's mighty figures!

Ye Chen's chilling words exploded in the scene like a clap of thunder.

Jiuyuan Divine Master hadn't expected that, even when facing Qing Shan Divine Master, Ye Chen would remain seemingly fearless and still dare to act so tough.

Even Qing Shan Divine Master appeared somewhat startled.

He hadn't expected that Ye Chen would dare to be so brazen in front of him, even going so far as to declare his subordinate's provocation as courting death.

However, at this moment, Qing Shan Divine Master's gaze toward Ye Chen was already that of someone staring at a dead man.

Bound by the rules, of course, he wouldn't directly strike at a junior. But he had given Sima Liao three treasures—disposing of this junior before him would be effortless!

As for Sima Liao, he was utterly infuriated, his face twisted in rage.

"Courting death? You say I'm courting death?"

Sima Liao was so angry that he laughed.

Previously, he'd always been overshadowed by Ye Chen, and the mere sight of Ye Chen had even made him feel fear. But now, after finally securing the backing of Qing Shan Divine Master, he was still being belittled by Ye Chen—how could he accept this?

"Ye Chen, let's see who's courting death—you or me!"

Boom!

Sima Liao moved, and waves of divine power surged from his body, rushing at Ye Chen like a raging beast.

Seeing Sima Liao's sudden action, Jiuyuan Divine Master instinctively wanted to intervene.

At that moment, Qing Shan Divine Master moved, blocking his path and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Jiuyuan, my good brother, let's just enjoy the show here."

"You have confidence in your follower, don't you? Then why worry?"

With Qing Shan Divine Master's hand on his shoulder, Jiuyuan Divine Master finally stopped moving.

Although he held Ye Chen in the highest regard, it was clear Qing Shan Divine Master would not allow him to interfere, leaving him no choice.

"We can only count on Ye Chen now."

"I'm here, so Qing Shan won't step in, but he's definitely armed his subordinate with treasures. I wonder if Ye Chen can withstand them."

Jiuyuan Divine Master anxiously turned his gaze toward Ye Chen.

By then, Sima Liao had already closed in on Ye Chen.

In Sima Liao's hands appeared a sharp, deadly conical spine-like Divine Weapon.

"That's the Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact, the 'Primordial Crystal Divine Spine.' Qing Shan, you actually bestowed a Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact upon Sima Liao!" Jiuyuan Divine Master was visibly angered, even foregoing courteous terms to address Qing Shan Divine Master. He was truly furious to see such a Polar Heaven Treasure given to Sima Liao.

Though the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine was a discarded treasure of Qing Shan Divine Master,

Jiuyuan Divine Master understood that superior treasures would be beyond Sima Liao's ability to wield. However, the part-functionality of the Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact would still pose an immense threat to a God King Realm cultivator like Ye Chen!

Jiuyuan Divine Master only knew Ye Chen possessed extraordinary Divine Soul Power, but he was unaware of Ye Chen's other capabilities, making him deeply concerned for Ye Chen!

While Jiuyuan Divine Master seethed, Qing Shan Divine Master smiled faintly. "Is it not proper for me to reward my subordinates with treasures? That junior you call Ye Chen is also your subordinate—you could give him treasures too."

Jiuyuan Divine Master was momentarily speechless.

If he had known Qing Shan Divine Master's subordinates would target Ye Chen, he would have surely armed Ye Chen with defensive treasures.

But now, with the battle begun, how could he still have time to give Ye Chen anything?

As the two Divine Masters sparred verbally, the match between Sima Liao and Ye Chen reached the moment of truth.

As the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine neared Ye Chen, Sima Liao smirked smugly. Yet at that moment, he suddenly saw Ye Chen retreating swiftly, raising his hand to summon a copper gong and wooden mallet before him.

Then, Ye Chen directed his Taiyi Divine Power into the mallet, which immediately struck the copper gong!

Whoosh.

In an instant, a binding force surged toward Sima Liao and his Primordial Crystal Divine Spine.

But Sima Liao sneered coldly. "Ye Chen, back in the Yellow Light Danger Zone, this was the same trick you tried to kill me with. Did you really think you could restrain me again?"

Sima Liao activated a second treasure, a small white bracelet that emitted a flash of Divine Light, enveloping him in white radiance.

When the white light surged, the binding force from the gong and mallet immediately lost its effect on Sima Liao.

Undeterred, Sima Liao pressed his assault on Ye Chen, the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine also free of restraint.

As a Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact,

Ye Chen's copper gong and mallet were capable of binding objects or beings beneath the Sovereign Realm, but they could not affect the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine of the Polar Heavenly Level.

Sima Liao and the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine continued their attack on Ye Chen.

Seeing this, Ye Chen remained calm and composed.

He had anticipated that Sima Liao would bring trump cards to the fight and was fully prepared.

As the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine approached, Ye Chen quickly discerned its status as a Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact.

With a swift motion, he summoned a gourd-shaped treasure with a "whoosh."

Then, as Ye Chen formed a complex spell with his hands,

whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

In a blink, 1,001 flying swords burst forth from the gourd, raining down like torrents of a swordstorm, meeting the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine head-on.

This was none other than Ye Chen's premium Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact, "Gourd Sword," paired with the Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills!

Having elevated his Divine Soul to the level of "Blue Light Soul," Ye Chen had perfected these techniques. This was the first time he used them together in battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A clash erupted between the fully mastered techniques of a premium Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact and part-functional attacks of the Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact.

The Divine Instruments collided, and mighty explosions reverberated through the battlefield.

The immense force sent Ye Chen and Sima Liao flying backward, each retreating hundreds of feet!

Yet neither seemed harmed.

Through this exchange, Ye Chen's premium Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact "Gourd Sword" held its ground against the Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact's onslaught!

Sima Liao's astonishment was palpable.

He couldn't fathom how Ye Chen had managed to block a Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact!

Even Qing Shan Divine Master and Jiuyuan Divine Master were visibly shocked.

The two Divine Masters hadn't predicted that Ye Chen could withstand the power of a Polar Heavenly Divine Artifact with a Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact, despite Sima Liao's inability to fully wield the former's power.

"It's that Divine Power!"

"Not only is Ye Chen's Mysterious Heavenly Artifact and technique astoundingly powerful, but his Divine Power also seems rather... unique."

Qing Shan Divine Master observed Ye Chen's Taiyi Divine Power but couldn't pinpoint its origins. He merely sensed its extraordinary nature.

At that moment, Ye Chen fixed his gaze on the retreating Sima Liao, his expression hardening. "So even with techniques borrowed from your master, this is all you've got?"

Boom!

Ye Chen stretched out his hand, and immediately, the 1,001 flying swords of the Gourd Sword returned to hover around him, radiating power. With a mere point of his finger, the swords shot out once more, aiming straight for Sima Liao.

Clearly, Ye Chen intended to rely on his overwhelming Taiyi Divine Power to deplete Sima Liao completely.

Seeing Ye Chen launch another attack, Sima Liao activated the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine once more to counter, and the two clashed again.

Their battle raged on without respite.

As the fight continued, Sima Liao grew more and more uneasy.

He had assumed that after neutralizing Ye Chen's gong and mallet, Ye Chen would pose no further threat. Yet, even in this evenly matched duel, his own Divine Power was gradually depleting, whereas Ye Chen's strength showed no signs of diminishing.

Even with his Lower Earth Divine Venerable realm, he felt his Divine Power inferior to Ye Chen's!

Eventually, Sima Liao's expression shifted drastically. Realizing that maintaining his attacks with the Primordial Crystal Divine Spine could leave him powerless to kill Ye Chen,

he muttered to himself, "I have no choice but to use my strongest move!"

"Luckily, I've been cautious, and Qing Shan Master prepared one last trump card for me!"

With a flash of determination, Sima Liao channeled his divine energy, unleashing a burst of purple flame toward Ye Chen.

Upon seeing the flame, Jiuyuan Divine Master gasped in shock. "'Purple Luo Divine Flame,' Qing Shan, you actually gave that to Sima Liao?!"

The Purple Luo Divine Flame, a rare and deadly fire born from Purple Mines in the Purple Ore Mystery Realm, could severely harm Divine Souls, surpassing even ordinary Polar Heavenly Divine Artifacts in its terrifying power.

Jiuyuan Divine Master couldn't fathom that Sima Liao possessed such a thing!

Amid Jiuyuan Divine Master's cries of alarm, the Purple Luo Divine Flame hurtled toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen immediately sensed the peculiar threat from the flame, his expression hardening.

In a split second, Ye Chen summoned forth his "Blue Extreme Iceflame," which surged out to meet the flame. At the same time, his hands flashed, producing two more artifacts.

One was a radiant, blade-like purple light.

The other—a pair of purple wings!
