Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 927 - 877: Slaying (First Update)

After the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" was unleashed, it transformed into a crystalline blue firebird and darted directly toward Sima Liao.

The dazzling purple blade light, resembling knife-like wings, and the pair of purple wings split into two actions—one slashing toward the "Purple Luo Divine Flame" attacking Ye Chen and the other spreading wide to layer upon layer protect Ye Chen.

From the moment Sima Liao commanded the "Purple Luo Divine Flame" to attack Ye Chen to Ye Chen countering, it happened in the blink of an eye.

In the next moment, the attacks from both sides collided right before them.

What surprised the two Divine Masters nearby was how the "Purple Luo Divine Flame," renowned for its devastatingly lethal effects on Divine Souls and aimed at Ye Chen, was directly cleaved into two by the radiant purple blade light Ye Chen summoned.

Although it was split into two, the "Purple Luo Divine Flame" still rushed toward Ye Chen, yet just as it reached him to burn, it was completely extinguished, dismantled layer by layer by the enveloping purple wings that guarded Ye Chen.

The strongest treasure gifted to Sima Liao by the Sky-supporting Divine Master—"Purple Luo Divine Flame"—failed even to harm Ye Chen!

"This is… the two Great Accomplishment-grade secret skills of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain, 'Amethyst Soul Protection Skills' and 'Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills'!"

"Impossible! It's only been twenty days! How could you possibly cultivate both secret skills to the Great Accomplishment-grade?!"

The Qing Shan Divine Master stared at the dazzling purple knife-like wings and the purple protective wings surrounding Ye Chen, his voice filled with shocked disbelief!

No matter how hard he racked his thoughts, he couldn't fathom how Ye Chen managed to cultivate those two secret skills to such an advanced stage in such a short time!

These two secret skills, exclusive to the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain, are training methods focused on refining the Divine Soul. Once cultivated to Great Perfection, they allow one to directly pass through the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain and provide exceptional assistance in both attack and defense regarding the Divine Soul.

Even though Ye Chen hadn't cultivated them to the Great Perfection stage, the Great Accomplishment-grade was already sufficient to withstand the soul-slashing attack "Purple Luo Divine Flame" from Sima Liao!

If the Qing Shan Divine Master had known earlier about the power Ye Chen possessed in Divine Soul cultivation, he would never have handed Sima Liao the soul-attack-oriented treasure "Purple Luo Divine Flame."

It turned out to be a treasure specifically restrained by Ye Chen's abilities!

The Qing Shan Divine Master was astounded.

The Jiuyuan Divine Master, however, leapt with joy.

When traveling to the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain alongside Ye Chen, the Jiuyuan Divine Master had speculated on how proficient Ye Chen was in cultivating these two secret skills.

But Ye Chen had always remained tight-lipped, merely saying he hadn't yet fully mastered them.

At the time, the Jiuyuan Divine Master assumed that when Ye Chen said he hadn't fully mastered them, he meant he had only reached the entry or Minor Accomplishment stage.

Never in his wildest dreams did he guess that Ye Chen managed to cultivate both secret skills to Great Accomplishment-level in such a brief period of time!

Great Accomplishment-grade!

And these were no ordinary cultivation techniques. They were the special Divine Soul secret skills of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

To reach Great Accomplishment-level in just twenty days—this speed of cultivation was unquestionably the fastest compared to all other challengers throughout the limitless Purple Ore Mystery Realm!

Given this pace, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be capable of further cultivating both secret skills to Great Perfection-grade within the remaining forty-five days, enabling him to pass through the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain without question.

How could this not bring overwhelming excitement to the Jiuyuan Divine Master?

Amidst the shock from one Divine Master and the delight from another, a cry of agony suddenly echoed from the direction where Sima Liao was.

The two Divine Masters were immediately taken aback, quickly deducing that although Ye Chen had successfully thwarted Sima Liao's assault, Ye Chen had simultaneously unleashed a flame attack against Sima Liao. Absorbed in watching Ye Chen, neither had yet paid attention to Sima Liao's predicament.

At this moment, as the cry pierced the air, they wondered aloud, "Could Sima Liao have failed to defend against Ye Chen's flame strike?"

When the two Divine Masters turned their attention toward Sima Liao, they saw the firebird formed from the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" unleashed by Ye Chen had already flown directly in front of Sima Liao.

The "Blue Extreme Iceflame," a Polar Sky-class flame, had grown even more potent after Ye Chen had advanced to the Middle God King Realm.

Such an intense attack, coupled with a flame of Polar Sky-level power, was beyond Sima Liao's capacity to resist.

From the moment the firebird lunged toward him, Sima Liao felt his entire being enveloped in a palpable aura of mortal peril.

In an urgent panic, he activated the white bracelet previously used defensively against Ye Chen's spatial confinement ability. The bracelet emitted white light that surrounded him.

However, this white bracelet was specifically intended to counter spatial confinement; it had no ability to resist the burning power of a Polar Sky-level flame.

Even as the white light was triggered, it was pierced layer by layer by the firebird formed from "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

As the firebird bore down on him, Sima Liao could no longer hold his composure and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Witnessing Sima Liao's misery, the Qing Shan Divine Master was gripped with chills coursing down his spine.

The Qing Shan Divine Master never expected that, despite lending Sima Liao three treasured artifacts, Sima Liao still couldn't stand against Ye Chen!

Ye Chen appeared not merely like a Middle God King but rather like an overwhelmingly powerful Immortal Divine Venerable—or even stronger—armed with techniques surpassing those of an Immortal Divine Venerable!

Against Ye Chen, Sima Liao seemed utterly vulnerable!

Initially, the Qing Shan Divine Master hadn't been concerned about Sima Liao's fate, convinced that Sima Liao could easily annihilate Ye Chen. Now, however, Ye Chen remained unscathed, while Sima Liao faced imminent death under Ye Chen's Polar Sky-level flame. How could this not leave the Qing Shan Divine Master appalled?

To think, Sima Liao was painstakingly selected as his auxiliary bloodline martial artist for cultivation purposes. If Ye Chen killed him here, all of his years of meticulous effort would go to waste!

Realizing the dire stakes, the Qing Shan Divine Master barked toward Ye Chen, "Ye Chen! Halt your attack against Sima Liao!"

Simultaneously, the Qing Shan Divine Master flew forward to interfere in the battle between Ye Chen and Sima Liao.

However, noticing the Qing Shan Divine Master's actions, the Jiuyuan Divine Master promptly intervened.

Boom!

The Jiuyuan Divine Master surged ahead, blocking the Qing Shan Divine Master. "Brother Qing Shan, if you dare meddle in the skirmish between these youngsters, although I might not be able to defeat you, I will report this matter to the Divine Masters of the Ancestral God Temple on the fourth layer of Heavenly God Mountain!"

"Those esteemed Divine Masters won't let this go lightly, and they might even punish you under the charge of interference, with execution not out of the question."

"Are you truly prepared to intervene?"

The Jiuyuan Divine Master's words caused the Qing Shan Divine Master's advancing motion to halt abruptly.

Though he ranked among the five Great Commanders as the Second Commander, he wasn't fearless.

The words of the Jiuyuan Divine Master struck a chord of caution within him.

Nonetheless, while reluctant to intervene directly, the Qing Shan Divine Master glared coldly at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, withdraw your attack! Although I'm restrained now, don't blame me for taking action against you in the future!"

The Qing Shan Divine Master resorted to threatening Ye Chen with his unrivaled authority in the Divine Master Realm.

Hearing this, the Jiuyuan Divine Master's thoughts churned anxiously. "Qing Shan is cunning. Such threats might indeed intimidate Ye Chen into swallowing his pride and resentments."

"After all, offending a Divine Master is extremely unwise."

Yet, amidst the Qing Shan Divine Master's chilling words and the Jiuyuan Divine Master's apprehensive reflections, another voice rang out—Ye Chen's.

"Withdraw my attack?"

"When Sima Liao came after me, why didn't you, Qing Shan Divine Master, call for him to stop? Do you truly think Ye Chen can be so easily bullied?!"

"Today, Sima Liao must die!"

Boom!

As Ye Chen spoke, the two Divine Masters witnessed the firebird formed from "Blue Extreme Iceflame" not being suppressed—instead, its flames intensified. Within mere moments, it pierced the last layers of the white light protecting Sima Liao.

The crystalline blue firebird emitted a sharp cry and, without hesitation, lunged at Sima Liao.

With an explosive, fiery detonation, Sima Liao's entire body was consumed by flames.

Finally, in full view of the two Divine Masters, Sima Liao was reduced to nothingness under the firebird's unrelenting incineration.

After completing its fatal task, the firebird let out a triumphant cry as it turned and flew back toward Ye Chen, eventually reabsorbed into his body.

Dead!

Sima Liao had truly been killed by Ye Chen!

The Qing Shan Divine Master stared at the scene in disbelief. Never could he have anticipated that, even after his intervention, Ye Chen would boldly slay Sima Liao right before his eyes.

Ye Chen—a fearless audacity!

Boom!

All at once, blazing fury erupted from the Qing Shan Divine Master as his overwhelming Divine Master aura exploded forth.

The terrifying aura forced the nearby Jiuyuan Divine Master to be blasted back tens of thousands of feet.

The horrifying aura also bore straight toward Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, you're audacious beyond belief!" The Qing Shan Divine Master glared at Ye Chen, his eyes emanating killing intent.

"No!" In that moment, the Jiuyuan Divine Master moved again, determined to intervene.

However, facing the Qing Shan Divine Master's wrath, Ye Chen remained unfazed. Instead, taking one bold step forward, he ascended into the void.

At the same time, the boundless cosmic power of the Starry Origin surged from Ye Chen's body, transforming into Yin Yang dual Divine Swords, which he held firmly.

None present knew that within Ye Chen's Qi Sea, the Stars Tower trembled and quaked incessantly.

Confronting the Divine Master Realm powerholder's daunting threat, Ye Chen countered defiantly, "Qing Shan Divine Master, if you wish to strike me, then do so!"

"I promise you'll live to regret it!"

In the void, two formidable figures faced off.

One was an exalted Divine Master Realm entity, transcendent beyond the Sovereign realm.

The other was merely a tiny God King of far inferior standing.

If this scenario transpired elsewhere, no one would even believe it.

However, here it unfolded vividly at the foot of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain!

Even against a Divine Master, Ye Chen displayed not even a shred of fear!

Ye Chen's unwavering confidence stunned the Jiuyuan Divine Master, who was momentarily rendered speechless. The Qing Shan Divine Master, too, momentarily arrested by wrath, suddenly regained clarity.

For an instant, the Qing Shan Divine Master sensed that this God King might possess even greater hidden resources than he had imagined—otherwise, how could he dare voice such arrogance?

As his gaze fell upon the cosmic Starry Origin power emanating from Ye Chen's body, the Qing Shan Divine Master's complexion turned pale.

As someone hailing from the Cosmic Sea, he instantly recognized the significance of this power source. Moreover, he himself cultivated using origin powers.

However, a minor God King exhibiting cosmic origin power was a revelation that shocked him deeply, leading him to realize one undeniable fact: This seemingly insignificant God King must have backing from an unfathomably formidable figure.

And that figure was certainly someone he dared not provoke!
