Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 904 - 854: Ye Chen Arrives!
Among the 530,000 challengers entering the Heavenly God Mountain this time, Ye Chen was most concerned about the Upper God Kings of the Supreme Divine Institute, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, and Mu Qingxue.
Mu Qingxue was a good friend of Long Li.
Ye Chen certainly wouldn't sit by and watch her get into trouble!
"Do you know the direction where Sima Liao is pursuing Mu Qingxue?" Ye Chen asked the six people.
The six nodded, "We have companions following Sima Liao and Mu Qingxue. The location sent by those companions isn't far from here."
Hearing this, the tension in Ye Chen's heart eased slightly.
If it was too far, it would be troublesome not to make it in time, but since it's not too far, there's hope to reach Mu Qingxue before any mishap occurs.
Ye Chen quickly said to the six, "Tell me the direction, I'll take you there faster."
Faster?
The six hadn't grasped it yet.
The next moment, they felt enveloped by a sky-shattering divine power, instantly transported to an extremely high point in the void.
This instantaneous velocity was dozens of times faster than their flying speed!
At this moment, the six finally understood that Ye Chen intended to use his faster escaping speed to take them to that pursuit area.
"How does it seem Ye Chen is even more powerful than the rumors say!"
"I fear even with the combat power of a Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable, there's no escaping speed this fast!"
In their amazement, the six also noticed Ye Chen's anxious expression.
They quickly informed Ye Chen of the continuously guided location from the messages.
Then, with a booming sound, Ye Chen took the six of them and instantly vanished into the void.
If anyone saw Ye Chen's escaping speed with the six, they'd truly be astounded!
Even with six people, Ye Chen's escaping speed was still much faster than Sima Liao's pursuit of Mu Qingxue!
"Too fast."
"This escaping speed is truly too fast!"
The six Upper God Kings from Lancang Divine Kingdom, shrouded by Ye Chen's divine power, witnessed the Sea of Mist's expansive sea regions passing by in astonishment.
They could hardly imagine anyone flying this fast in the mysterious Sea of Mist.
What surprised them even more.
During their swift flight, an enormous Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable-level beast abruptly emerged from the ocean below, seemingly detecting them, and charged toward them in an intercepting attack.
At this moment, Ye Chen, carrying them, didn't slow down at all, and with a wave of his hand, a sword light slashed out.
Their eyes widened instantly.
This colossal beast at the Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable level was directly slain by Ye Chen with just one sword light!
Now, their minds were completely shocked.
Flying.
Flying at an extreme speed!
Ye Chen felt fortunate in his heart; he circled around the Sea of Mist and luckily wasn't too far from the route Mu Qingxue was fleeing on.
More fortunately, he encountered six people who knew about Mu Qingxue's situation.
Now, in Ye Chen's mind, there was only one thought, which was hoping Mu Qingxue could hold on until he arrived.
With urgent thoughts flashing, Ye Chen, like a streak of light, carried the six Upper God Kings from Lancang Divine Kingdom across the endless void of the Sea of Mist.
On the other side.
Enveloped in white divine light and fleeing, Mu Qingxue's face was already extremely pale.
Though the white wings she activated greatly increased her escaping speed, they also consumed a significant amount of divine power.
This was why she hadn't used them earlier.
Though using them now prevented Sima Liao from catching up, her divine power was slowly dwindling, causing her speed to decrease.
Moreover, dodging Sima Liao's continuous divine arts, she couldn't flee directly toward the Green Light Safe Zone, altering her flight path multiple times.
At this point, it was still several hundred miles away from the Green Light Safe Zone!
Outside the Sea of Mist, she could fly over in less than a second.
But within the Sea of Mist, it seemed an insurmountable gap.
Seeing the distance between her and her pursuer, Sima Liao, shrinking, Mu Qingxue's heart grew heavier. She knew that this time, she might not reach the Green Light Safe Zone.
"What do I do? What do I do?!"
"Sima Liao is in the Divine Venerable Realm, while I am in the Divine King Realm. His divine power is inherently more vast. At this rate of divine power depletion, I'm at a disadvantage."
"If he catches up, I won't even have the divine power to resist. It'll be over!"
"But facing him directly, I have no chance of victory!"
With her mind racing, Sima Liao's cold voice came from behind her.
"Escape?"
"I want to see how much longer you can run!"
As he spoke, Sima Liao's speed didn't diminish. Instead, the flame divine force on his body burned even more fiercely.
Thousands of feet, hundreds of feet, dozens of feet!
As the distance closed, Sima Liao suddenly slapped his hand, sending a shocking palm shadow toward Mu Qingxue.
Boom!
The impact of the slap exploded the void.
Racing to escape, Mu Qingxue hurriedly deployed a white shield-like divine artifact in defense, but even then, she was sent flying toward the sea, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Mu Qingxue barely halted her backward trajectory, and the next moment, Sima Liao took a step in the void, appearing ten feet in front of her with a cold smile.
Farther away.
The people who had been following Sima Liao and Mu Qingxue to watch the spectacle were gasping for breath and falling farther behind the two.
If more God Kings hadn't joined the pursuit along the route, the initial group would have lost track completely.
When Mu Qingxue and Sima Liao halted their confrontation for several seconds, the crowd finally caught up, remaining a thousand feet behind them in the sky.
"They stopped flying?"
"Looks like Mu Qingxue's done for. She seems injured and doesn't have the strength to widen the gap anymore!"
Seeing the situation clearly, many people's expressions changed.
At this moment, Sima Liao ignored the spectators.
He originally watched Mu Qingxue like a predator viewing prey. But seeing so many arrivals, he finally lowered his arms.
"Mu Qingxue, you did well escaping so far from me. You should be proud."
"Now, pay with your life!"
Sima Liao sneered, tightening a spell, sending hundreds of knife-like divine lights to rain down on Mu Qingxue.
"Taking my life isn't so easy!"
Mu Qingxue, her breath unsteady from Sima Liao's earlier strike, didn't completely give up.
Determination flashed in her eyes as she resolved to fatally wound Sima Liao, even if it meant her death, so he wouldn't get away unscathed!
With determined mind and spirit, Mu Qingxue erupted in golden radiance.
Within the light, her delicate body donned a golden armor, with a massive red cape appearing behind her.
Golden armor, red cape.
At this moment, Mu Qingxue discarded her elegant demeanor, resembling a warrior goddess.
"Sword, come!"
Mu Qingxue's pale hand reached out, and a cyan Divine Sword appeared.
The sword's blade glinted, sending hundreds of sword lights to meet Sima Liao's incoming deadly lights.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Instantly, a thunderous explosion rang in the void above the Sea of Mist.
Wielding golden armor, a cape, and Divine Sword, Mu Qingxue successfully blocked Sima Liao's attack.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Mu Qingxue still able to defend, Sima Liao's face darkened. "Looks like your gains on the first level of Heavenly God Mountain were significant. Otherwise, with your rank on the Heavenly God List, you couldn't have blocked my killing strike."
"But it doesn't matter; you're still going to die!"
A moment's delay invites change.
Sima Liao didn't wish to risk further unexpected developments and no longer held back.
Instantly, a world-shattering blood-red divine light surged from Sima Liao, within which countless blood skeleton phantoms flickered in and out.
"Great Devouring Ghost-killing Divine Light."
"Annihilate her for me!"
Sima Liao shouted, and from the bloody divine light came countless ghastly wails.
Soon, a bloody silhouette engulfed heaven and earth, turning the entire Void Scarlet.
In the scarlet, myriad skull phantoms flew from Sima Liao, transforming into vast-mouthed evil spirits, lunging at Mu Qingxue.
"This is Sima Liao's true power? At this magnitude, it seems he's reached the peak of the Lower Immortal Divine Venerable level!"
"He once had the combat power of a Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable at just the Upper God King level, but after transforming to an Earth Divine Venerable, he's immediately ascended to the peak of the Lower Immortal Divine Venerable!"
Even the God Kings watching from afar felt the chilling lethal force, retreating in fright.
Within the Great Devouring Ghost-killing Divine Light's encasement, Mu Qingxue's face changed drastically.
Mu Qingxue realized her divine power was being gradually melted by the blood-red shadows, making it impossible to fend off the impending skull phantoms.
"Could this be the end?"
"I wish to fatally wound Sima Liao even if it costs me my life. Can I not even withstand this strike?!"
Mu Qingxue couldn't believe it and refused to accept it.
With a fierce determination, she exhibited a sorrowful expression.
In a moment of resolve, Mu Qingxue thought of many people.
She thought of her parents in the Northern Region of the Mountain Divine Nation, thought of her friend Long Li, and recalled recently parting ways with Ye Chen.
"If..."
"If I hadn't parted with Ye Chen, the two of us together might have had the power to stand against Sima Liao."
As a myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind, Mu Qingxue grit her teeth, prepared to burn her lifeblood for a final desperate strike.
At that moment, Mu Qingxue suddenly heard a voice: "Friend Qingxue, don't panic."
This voice?
Mu Qingxue was stunned, her mind tensing instantly.
It was Ye Chen's voice!
The next moment, Mu Qingxue witnessed an unbelievable sight.
The countless skull phantoms lunging at her exploded and dissipated, and even the scarlet blood shadows seemed to tear open, revealing a vast expanse of the original Void.
Following that, Mu Qingxue saw Ye Chen alongside six unfamiliar figures appearing in the sky.
Ye Chen had arrived!
Just now, it was Ye Chen who saved her!
