Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 649 - 601: Defiance

Three days later, early in the morning, Ye Chen kept his promise and left the Zhou Family of Fallen Moon City to head for the City Lord’s Mansion of the Circulation of Heaven Divine City.

Ye Chen planned to sort out the issue of the Divine City War quota and then set off to open the treasure trove left by the Ice-sealed Divine King in another part of the Star Continent and conclude his repayment to the descendants of the Ice-sealed Divine King.

Only after that would he truly face the Divine City War in just over two months!

But before agreeing to be one of the three candidates for the Divine City War, Ye Chen wanted to assess the other two companions who would take part in the battle with him.

After all, the "Divine City War" between the smaller divine cities was a three-person appearance where the victory was determined by a best-of-three system.

If the other two were too weak and there was no certainty they could help the Circulation of Heaven Divine City achieve ultimate victory, and secure those ten spots to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land, then Ye Chen saw no need to involve himself in this chaos and waste his time.

By the time Ye Chen arrived at the assembly square for the Circulation of Heaven Divine City War candidates mentioned by Vice City Lord Wang, over a dozen people had already gathered.

These dozen or so people were all young men and women, with only three being at the eighth tier of True God level, while the rest were at the ninth tier of True God level.

Vice City Lord Wang was also within this thousand-zhang radius of the huge square.

When Vice City Lord Wang saw the figure of Ye Chen flying down to the square of the City Lord’s Mansion, he changed his indifferent attitude towards the others on the square and came flying towards Ye Chen with a smile, "Friend Ye Chen, you really are punctual!"

Ye Chen also smiled at Vice City Lord Wang, "Wang, why are so many people gathered here?"

"These are martial artists sought out by the City Lord’s Mansion. To select the real candidates to represent the Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the battle of the Divine City War, we need to test their combat strength. Of course, you do not need to undergo combat strength testing, Ye Chen, because I have already personally tested you," said Vice City Lord Wang with a smile to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen and Vice City Lord Wang were talking quietly in the corner of the square where Ye Chen had just landed. This scene, seen from the center of the square by the dozen or so young men and women, caused them to be momentarily stunned.

"Who is this late-stage Sky Saint youth?"

They couldn’t help but be surprised.

When they arrived at the square, this Lower God King realm Vice City Lord Wang hardly paid them any attention, only saying a few indifferent words to ask them to wait.

Now, after this late-stage Sky Saint youth had arrived, Vice City Lord Wang greeted him with a smile and kept talking with him cheerfully.

When compared, the attitudes were starkly different.

Of course, this made the young men and women at the eighth and ninth tier of True God level take much more notice of Ye Chen.

"Could this person be a junior relative of Vice City Lord Wang? But that doesn’t seem quite right either. Why has he come to this gathering place for the ’Divine City War’ candidates?"

"Could it be that he is also participating in the ’Divine City War’ candidate selection? But with his late-stage Sky Saint level, isn’t he a bit too weak?" many murmured to themselves.

As these people speculated, Vice City Lord Wang walked over to the group with Ye Chen in tow.

"Gentlemen and ladies, this is friend Ye Chen," Vice City Lord Wang introduced Ye Chen to the young men and women, "Our Circulation of Heaven Divine City has three spots for the ’Divine City War,’ and the City Lord has personally decided on one of them; friend Ye Chen will occupy one."

"The remaining one undecided spot will be contended for once everyone is here. You will all have to undergo a test of strength to determine who is most capable."

Wow!

The words of Vice City Lord Wang caused a stir among the dozen or so young men and women on the square. They exchanged looks, disbelief flashing in their eyes.

Had Vice City Lord Wang lost his mind?

Allowing this late-stage Sky Saint youth to represent the Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Divine City War? Occupying a spot directly without any testing?!

After all, if the Circulation of Heaven Divine City ended up with the opportunity to travel to the "Nine Suns Ancient Land," then the three who fought in the war would be guaranteed to explore the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

The remaining seven spots would definitely be allocated to the juniors of the City Lord’s Mansion, with little chance for others to get this opportunity.

To the young people on the scene, wanting to go to the Nine Suns Ancient Land meant representing the Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the "Divine City War," which was the only chance they had.

But now, one of these extremely precious three spots had inexplicably fallen into the hands of this late-stage Sky Saint youth?

And with the City Lord having already personally decided on another spot, all the others were left to fight for that single remaining spot for battle?

The martial artists in the square felt very dissatisfied inside.

Why should they, as ninth-tier True Gods, struggle for a spot and yet still need to undergo testing, while this late-stage Sky Saint youth directly took a spot for himself?

Their dissatisfied expressions, of course, did not escape the eyes of Ye Chen and Vice City Lord Wang.

Ye Chen shook his head with a smile. Naturally, he felt no need to go out of his way to explain anything to these people.

Vice City Lord Wang simply smiled wryly, and in the end, he spoke to the group of young men and women, "Ye Chen’s combat power is beyond your imagination. It’s our great fortune to have him help our Circulation of Heaven Divine City, a minor divine city, participate in the great war."

Hiss!

The praise from Vice City Lord Wang made all the young men and women present take a sharp breath of cold air.

A youth in the late stage of the Heavenly Saint realm, to receive such high praise from Vice City Lord Wang?!

One must know, even the Nine Tribulations True Gods present didn’t seem to catch much of Vice City Lord Wang’s fancy.

Could this youth be even more formidable than the Nine Tribulations True Gods?!

All the young men and women present were native martial artists from the minor Circulation of Heaven Divine City. They had never heard of a youth in the late stage of the Heavenly Saint realm who could match or even surpass the Nine Tribulations True Gods.

Regarding Vice City Lord Wang’s words, they were completely dubious!

"Ye Chen, don’t mind them. I have already engraved the scene of our battle into a Battle Fragment and handed it over to the City Lord. The City Lord has personally determined that you are the second candidate to represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Battle of Divine Cities. Don’t worry," Vice City Lord Wang transmitted a message to Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen nod, Vice City Lord Wang no longer spoke and turned his eyes toward the void, waiting for the rest of the candidates to arrive.

But at that moment, Ye Chen suddenly looked toward a seemingly empty space not far behind him!

Ye Chen had been sensing that someone was quietly observing him, and upon looking, he activated his "Destruction Eye Skills" and directly saw two figures standing within a spatial crack in that seemingly empty void.

One of them was a tall middle-aged man in a green robe with a beard, and the other was a young girl in white.

"Could this tall middle-aged man be the lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City? And the girl in white, could she be the young lady predetermined by the City Lord as one of the participants in the Battle of Divine Cities?" Ye Chen thought to himself.

As soon as he looked, Ye Chen even sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the white-clad girl, which made his heart tremble a bit.

"The feeling this girl gives me, if we were to battle, I might not be confident of winning. If she truly is one of the chosen candidates to represent this minor divine city in the Battle of Divine Cities, then it’s possible for Circulation of Heaven Divine City to stand out among the eighteen minor divine cities," Ye Chen thought as he turned his head back, his eyes flashing a sharp light.

As Ye Chen glanced over, the green-robed middle-aged man and the white-clad girl in the void also started momentarily.

The girl in white then smiled gently at the green-robed man, "Uncle Nie, is this the powerful youth you mentioned, the one chosen by Vice City Lord Wang?"

"To be able to discover us in our hidden state at his Heavenly Saint later stage realm indeed shows he’s extraordinary!"

"Look at the other young men and women down there, completely unaware of our presence."

At this moment, the green-robed middle-aged man also deeply nodded, his eyes revealing a look of shock and satisfaction, "It seems this young man’s miraculousness far exceeds my expectations!"

"Perhaps he really comes from one of the big divine cities, for otherwise, he wouldn’t possess such a terrifying combat power across boundaries."

"Such talents are rare even in the big divine cities! Either they have their own fortune and wouldn’t come to the Nine Suns Ancient Land, or they would directly take one of the ten slots from the big divine cities and look down upon the need to battle for a spot to the Nine Suns Ancient Land offered by a minor divine city."

"I heard this youth came here for the Divine King of the Zhou Family from Fallen Moon City who has been missing for a long time. This time, it seems we’ve stumbled upon a treasure!"

"Lady Wan, with your help, we have a good chance of securing a spot to the Nine Suns Ancient Land this time!" the green-robed middle-aged man said.

Hearing the green-robed man’s words, the girl in white simply smiled lightly, neither affirming nor denying, her eyes once again looking down toward the square.

Not long after the conversation between the green-robed man and the girl in white, five figures hurriedly arrived one after another, landing in the square.

By then, all the candidates Circulation of Heaven Divine City was looking for the Battle of Divine Cities had finally all arrived.

Once everyone was assembled, the young men and women in the square could no longer afford to dwell on their dissatisfaction with Ye Chen. They understood that the situation could not be changed, and they had to compete with all their might for the last available slot!

At this time, Vice City Lord Wang smiled and nodded at Ye Chen, then stepped forward and walked before the group of young men and women.

Boom!

Vice City Lord Wang shook his sleeve, and a twenty-zhang tall huge circular luminous pillar flew directly from his sleeve and crashed onto the ground, its base plunging into the earth of the square.

"This pillar is a Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact called the ’Three Divine Pillars.’ This pillar can absorb the combat power generated from the three vital signs of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. I have altered it a bit to serve as a treasure for testing your combat power."

"All of you come forward, and use your strongest combat methods to strike this pillar. This pillar can even withstand the combat power of a Lower God King like myself; you needn’t worry about breaking it."

"In the end, whomever’s light from the combat power pillar is the highest, indicating the strongest combat method, that person will win the last slot to represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the ’Battle of Divine Cities.’

"Now, you can all come up in turn to test and compete!"
