Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 929 - 879: The Final Step (1st Update)

A few moments later, Ye Chen lifted his foot and stepped onto the first tier of the "Purple Crystal Divine Path."

Back when Ye Chen first came to the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain" with Jiuyuan Divine Master, even though his Divine Soul Power was strong, he hadn't yet practiced the mountain's two great secret skills. The moment he stepped on the first tier, his figure trembled uncontrollably, and upon reaching the second tier, he was instantly blasted off by the terrifying Storm Divine Soul Killing Force.

But this time, as Ye Chen stood on the first tier, his figure didn't shake in the slightest!

On the first tier, the horrifying storm-like Divine Soul attacks still surged toward the depths of his soul.

However, Ye Chen had already undergone a metamorphosis of his Divine Soul and was entirely unafraid of such attacks!

During this time of cultivation, Ye Chen had refined countless Purple Silver Pearls, further enhancing his Divine Soul. He had even mastered the two secret skills, "Amethyst Soul Protection Skills" and "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills," to the level of Great Accomplishment.

Why would he fear the first tier of the steps?

Ye Chen didn't even activate the two secret skills. Despite being under the onslaught of Storm Divine Soul attacks on the first tier, he remained as immovable as a Giant Mountain!

"Purple Crystal Divine Mountain, Purple Crystal Divine Path, a total of thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three tiers."

"Let me see how many tiers I can climb in one breath this time!"

Ye Chen looked toward the summit of the mountain, his gaze resolute.

In the next instant, Ye Chen lifted his foot and strode onto the second tier.

The second tier, the third tier, the fourth tier...

Ye Chen's ascension showed no signs of stopping. After barely half a tea's time, Ye Chen had already climbed over eight thousand tiers, still steadily advancing!

At the foot of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

Watching Ye Chen's figure ascending without pause, Fang Xuan Divine Master's eyes shone brightly, "Ye Chen's foundation truly is strong. Even at the eight thousand six hundred thirty-second tier, he hasn't needed to showcase the two secret skills."

"It seems likely that he'll manage to climb over twenty thousand tiers!"

Jiuyuan Divine Master, absolutely thrilled, exclaimed, "Ye Chen will definitely pass through the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain!"

It was understandable that Jiuyuan Divine Master was ecstatic.

Since managing the Fifth Commander District within the "Purple Ore Mystery Realm," no one under him had passed through the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain" within the prescribed timeframe.

Now, Ye Chen was about to become the first in the Fifth Commander District to achieve this feat.

This wasn't merely an enormous honor for the Fifth Commander District—it would also bring Jiuyuan Divine Master the most substantial reward in Contribution Points.

Among the three Divine Masters present, only Qing Shan Divine Master seemed unsettled.

At this moment, Qing Shan Divine Master had abandoned any thoughts of pursuing the matter of Ye Chen killing Sima Liao. His sole concern was whether the eminent figures of the Ancestral God Temple would punish him, and what actions the Great Commander might take.

Fang Xuan Divine Master noticed Qing Shan Divine Master's expression and turned to speak, "Qing Shan, although you didn't strike against Ye Chen, the intention to do so was clear. If I don't handle this, the eminent figures of the 'Ancestral God Temple' will surely be displeased."

"I have prepared two methods of resolution. Are you willing to accept them?"

How could Qing Shan Divine Master dare refuse?

He didn't even dare to inquire what the two methods entailed.

What a joke.

Although he was the Second Commander among the five, he was nowhere near comparable to Fang Xuan Divine Master, the Great Commander standing before him.

Qing Shan was merely at the third-tier Divine Master Realm, whereas Fang Xuan Divine Master had already reached the seventh-tier Divine Master Realm and was the supreme leader overseeing the entire "Purple Ore Mystery Realm."

Forget that there were "Ancestral God Temple" figures observing the situation—Qing Shan didn't even dare defy Fang Xuan's orders on their own merit.

"I will follow the Great Commander's arrangements completely," Qing Shan Divine Master immediately replied.

Fang Xuan Divine Master nodded and declared Qing Shan's punishment.

"The first method: the next supply of Purple Silver Pearls due from the Five Commander Districts shall be entirely provided by the Second Commander District."

Hearing this, Qing Shan Divine Master's complexion immediately soured.

Even if this task was feasible for him, it would deplete a tremendous amount of his energy and likely aggravate many of the Sovereigns under his jurisdiction.

Yet, he could only nod in acceptance.

Fang Xuan Divine Master continued, "The second method: for the next three batches of Challengers entering the 'Purple Ore Mystery Realm,' your selection rights for subordinates will be revoked. You can only resume these choices starting with the fourth batch."

Upon hearing this, Qing Shan Divine Master felt as though his mind had been struck by lightning.

This punishment effectively meant losing three chances to pick new subordinates.

His plan to find Martial Artists with auxiliary bloodlines to help his cultivation had already been disrupted with Sima Liao's death. With three selection chances now canceled, his vision for cultivating these aids would wither away.

Qing Shan Divine Master nodded in acceptance of Fang Xuan Divine Master's two judgments.

But regret overwhelmed him.

He regretted ever listening to Sima Liao's instigations and provoking Ye Chen.

If he had known that such terrifying figures supported Ye Chen… if he had known that the Ancestral God Temple's eminent figures were watching Ye Chen, he wouldn't have dared to go near him, not even if someone forced him!

Qing Shan Divine Master was utterly filled with remorse.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Fang Xuan and Qing Shan were talking, and Ye Chen was scaling the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain, four streaks of light zoomed toward the mountain.

The four figures turned out to be two other Challengers, Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan, along with their respective Divine Masters, Ciling Divine Master and Divine Master Huafeng.

Ciling and Huafeng Divine Masters had heard the news that the Great Commander had abruptly emerged from seclusion and rushed to Purple Crystal Divine Mountain. The news had surprised both, prompting them to hastily bring their subordinates to investigate what had transpired.

Descending swiftly, Ciling Divine Master approached Fang Xuan Divine Master for inquiries, and Fang Xuan explained the situation, supplemented by Jiuyuan Divine Master.

Upon learning that Ye Chen had killed Sima Liao, Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan were astonished.

Mu Qingxue was shocked because, even with Sima Liao at Qing Shan Divine Master's side, Ye Chen had still managed to kill him. She hadn't imagined such results.

Lin Shan, however, was struck by the realization of Ye Chen's terrifying prowess, surpassing even Sima Liao, the powerful warrior favored by Qing Shan Divine Master.

What truly stunned both Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan, along with their Divine Masters, was seeing the Great Commander herself emerging from seclusion all for Ye Chen.

And for Ye Chen's sake, the Great Commander was punishing Qing Shan Divine Master!

Ciling and Huafeng Divine Masters were slightly less surprised, as Fang Xuan had only mentioned the rule that Commanders couldn't act against Challengers, without elaborating on the influence of the Ancestral God Temple's eminent figures.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan, realizing the attention Ye Chen had drawn even while still in the God King Realm, were completely astounded.

When they turned their gaze toward Ye Chen ascending the "Purple Crystal Divine Path," they were more shocked than ever.

By this point, Ye Chen had already reached the midsection of the Purple Crystal Divine Path, seemingly having climbed over ten thousand tiers.

"Ye Chen… he's really going to pass the 'Purple Crystal Divine Mountain'!"

Mu Qingxue's eyes sparkled with excitement.

She knew that Ye Chen had risked himself entering the "Purple Ore Mystery Realm" to save her.

While she wasn't entirely certain of escaping unscathed, her life had at least been preserved, leaving her deeply grateful to Ye Chen and hopeful for his success.

Now, Ye Chen genuinely had a chance of escaping. How could Mu Qingxue not feel overjoyed?

Lin Shan, watching Ye Chen climbing higher and higher, found himself seeing the first-ranked Challenger from the Heavenly God List, the only one amongst them who had broken into the Middle Earth God Realm, developing a newfound respect for Ye Chen.

Lin Shan knew that no matter what, he couldn't achieve Ye Chen's composure in climbing the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

The four newly-arrived Challengers.

Sima Liao was dead, but Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, and Lin Shan all gathered at the foot of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

Initially, after inquiring about the Great Commander's purpose for coming, Ciling and Huafeng Divine Masters intended to escort Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan back.

However, seeing Ye Chen's incredible ascent inspired them both to decide to stay and train alongside him at Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

Thus, the remaining three Challengers began their own attempts at conquering the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.

This period saw Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan also diving into the mountain's two great secret skills.

Clearly, neither had cultivated these skills to Ye Chen's level of Great Accomplishment.

Lin Shan only managed to reach the two thousand three hundred-plus tier before being overwhelmed by the terrifying Storm Divine Soul attacks, stopping to train further.

Although Mu Qingxue's Realm was lower than Lin Shan's, her Divine Soul potential far surpassed his.

She successfully climbed to the fifth thousand four hundred sixty-second tier before halting her progress to refine the two secret skills.

While the two newcomers stopped ascending the "Purple Crystal Divine Path," Ye Chen continued moving upward.

By this moment, Ye Chen had reached the nineteen thousand eight hundred sixty-fifth tier, finally activating both secret skills.

Climb! Climb! Climb!

The brilliant purple blade-like wings of the "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills" fiercely sliced through the incoming Storm Divine Soul attacks.

The protective purple wings of the "Amethyst Soul Protection Skills" shielded Ye Chen entirely.

Ye Chen kept climbing, reaching the thirty-one thousand one hundredth tier before pausing for the first time.

His progress exceeded even Fang Xuan Divine Master's earlier expectations, entirely driven by his mastery of the two Great Accomplishment-level secret skills.

All three of the remaining Challengers began refining their abilities atop the Purple Crystal Divine Path.

The four Divine Masters stayed at the mountain's base, watching over Ye Chen and the others.

As days passed, the time for challenging the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain grew closer to its end.

When there were only five days left for this challenge, Ye Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged in cultivation, stood up once again.

Ye Chen resumed his attempt to conquer the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain!

This time, Ye Chen climbed to the second-to-last tier of the Purple Crystal Divine Path before stopping.

Only one more tier remained before Ye Chen could completely pass through the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain and return to the Green Light Safe Zone in the Sea of Mist. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Although Ye Chen hadn't yet stepped onto the final tier, the four Divine Masters at the mountain's base could tell he had more than enough strength to do so.

He was waiting.

Indeed, Ye Chen was waiting—for Mu Qingxue.

If Mu Qingxue could pass through the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain, Ye Chen would gladly return with her.

At this point, Mu Qingxue, despite far surpassing Lin Shan in her climb, had only reached the twenty-three thousand two hundred twenty-third tier. She remained seated in cultivation.

Five days remained, but Mu Qingxue still had over ten thousand tiers left to climb.
