Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 914 - 864: Undersea Blood Battle (Second Update)

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

After colliding into Ye Chen and sending him flying, several dozen Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts had seven of their kind charge at him once more.

The remaining Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts turned their heads, setting their sights on Mu Qingxue and the other eleven God Kings. With a deafening roar, they raged toward Mu Qingxue and the others, intent on slaughter.

Mu Qingxue and the eleven God Kings turned pale with fear.

The moment the Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts had slammed into Ye Chen, they had already gauged these beasts' combat power.

Each of these beasts carried the strength of a Middle Immortal Divine Venerable. How could they possibly resist such monstrous creatures?

Boom!

Even as they unleashed their full combat power, it was clear to them—within the next instant, their lives would be claimed by these Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts!

As the beasts attacked Mu Qingxue and the eleven God Kings, and the seven others pounced toward Ye Chen, two treasures suddenly materialized in Ye Chen's hands.

Surprisingly, it was the bronze gong and the wooden mallet!

At this dire critical moment, Ye Chen finally chose to unveil these treasures.

Whoosh.

In an instant, Taiyi Divine Power surged wildly from Ye Chen into the wooden mallet. As Ye Chen expended nearly thirty percent of his Divine Power, the mallet struck the bronze gong with an abrupt, resonating chime.

In a moment, a strange, Forbidden Treasure Power rippled across the entire heavens and earth.

The scores of charging Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts froze mid-air just as they reached Mu Qingxue and the eleven God Kings.

The seven charging at Ye Chen also came to a sudden halt.

With thirty percent of his Divine Power expended, Ye Chen was able to freeze all Sovereign Realm and below combatants in place for ten breaths' time.

Ye Chen intended to use these ten breaths to resolve as many of the Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts as he could!

And then, something truly shocking occurred.

All in the scene—people and Exotic Beasts alike, whether Mu Qingxue, the eleven God Kings, or the dozens of Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts—were completely immobilized in the Void.

The lone exception was Ye Chen, who retained his ability to move.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen sprang into action. With a sweeping motion of his hand, his Divine Power transformed into faint golden Starry Origin energy. With a flash, the "Second Form of Origin Slash" was unleashed in a strike.

Splatter!

With one swing, Ye Chen annihilated a single immobilized Purple-silver Horned Lion Beast in an instant.

As soon as the Origin Slash struck the beast, it burst apart into two halves before exploding with a "boom," leaving behind countless glimmers of purple-silver light that swiftly faded away.

To slay one Middle Immortal Divine Venerable-level Purple-silver Horned Lion Beast with a single move—such combat prowess would terrify countless Challengers!

Yet Ye Chen's expression darkened.

This was because, with that one strike, his original intention to slay three or four of the beasts at once had failed. If he continued at this rate, the ten breaths' time wouldn't be enough to slay them all.

Ye Chen hadn't accounted for the beasts' extraordinary defensive power, even while immobilized.

Having expended thirty percent of his Taiyi Divine Power to wield the treasures, the resulting Starry Origin energy was insufficient. The strike that should have killed three or four beasts only managed to take down one!

"At this rate, I'll only be able to kill fifteen of these Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts within ten breaths' time—far from slaying them all!"

"What's worse, I can't afford to spend another thirty percent of my Divine Power to wield the gong and mallet again. If I do, even immobilizing these beasts won't leave me enough strength to kill them!"

Ye Chen's heart sank.

But there was no time for overthinking or hesitation.

Ten breaths—he had to make them count, striking down as many beasts as possible to buy breathing room for the others!

No matter what—every second, every opportunity, had to be seized!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Boom!

Without stopping, Ye Chen slashed his sword once more. With a flip of his palm, the Yin Yang Twin Divine Swords blazed with dazzling sword light.

Once again, faint golden Star God Power surged forward as he swung fiercely at another Purple-silver Horned Lion Beast.

Splatter!

His second strike cleanly obliterated another Purple-silver Horned Lion Beast.

Then came the third strike, the fourth, the fifth…

A multitude of sword beams gleamed as one by one, the Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts burst apart and disintegrated.

When ten breaths' time elapsed, Ye Chen had slain sixteen Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts in total—one more than he had expected!

However.

The ten breaths expired, and the immobilizing effect dissipated.

Though Ye Chen had slain sixteen of the beasts, thirty-five still remained.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Even while immobilized, the beasts had witnessed Ye Chen slaughtering their kin.

Now freed, they cast a cautious glance at Ye Chen, their ferocity momentarily checked.

As if recognizing Ye Chen's terrifying strength, they no longer dared to surround him. Instead, they directed their bloodthirst toward Mu Qingxue and the other eleven God Kings.

Mu Qingxue and the God Kings had seen Ye Chen's display of treasure-wielding prowess.

Initially, they were beyond exhilarated by the miraculous might of his killing moves. But realizing that even Ye Chen—despite his extraordinary prowess—couldn't vanquish all the beasts at once, their hope turned to utter despair.

Now, as thirty-five Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts swarmed toward them, the God Kings wore expressions of sheer hopelessness.

At this moment, Ye Chen also felt utterly helpless.

Ye Chen understood that this time, he couldn't save everyone.

His only choice was to save Mu Qingxue!

"Fellow Daoists, you'll have to fend for yourselves. I'll do my best to kill these Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts. Hold on as long as you can!"

Ye Chen shouted to the God Kings before hurtling toward Mu Qingxue.

Whoosh.

At the same time, an icy blue flame roared into life within Ye Chen's palm.

This flame was none other than the Extreme Heavenly Object—"Blue Extreme Iceflame"!

Having repeatedly unleashed the gong and mallet treasures alongside the Second Form of Origin Slash, Ye Chen was already significantly drained. To rescue Mu Qingxue, he could no longer rely on these two powerful techniques.

Ye Chen had to resort to the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" instead!

Thankfully, Ye Chen's cultivation within the Middle God King Realm now allowed him to control greater amounts of the Blue Extreme Iceflame.

Where once he could only control a small wisp, now he could manipulate an entire small cluster of the flames!

By the time Ye Chen unleashed the Blue Extreme Iceflame, three Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts had already reached Mu Qingxue.

Ye Chen flashed forward, positioning himself as a shield before Mu Qingxue.

With a surge of the Blue Extreme Iceflame in his hands, the fiery energy morphed into an ice-blue Firebird and shot toward one of the beasts.

Boom!

In a deafening fiery eruption.

No matter how impeccable the Purple-silver Horned Lion Beast's defenses were, under the searing power of the Blue Extreme Iceflame, it was incinerated to ash in an instant.

The Firebird, still ablaze, darted toward the remaining two beasts.

With two more "booms,"

the last two Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts near Mu Qingxue met the same fiery fate, their forms consumed entirely!

At that moment, a flash of elation swept across Mu Qingxue's pale face—a joy born from surviving death's grasp.

In her beautiful eyes, however, astonishment also welled—a disbelief tinged with awe.

Mu Qingxue had seen Ye Chen wield the gong and mallet treasures, and she had witnessed his Origin Slash technique.

But she had never imagined that Ye Chen had yet another even more formidable technique—a fiery method utilizing an Extreme Heavenly Object!

"It's the Blue Extreme Iceflame!"

"This flame must be the Blue Extreme Iceflame!"

Mu Qingxue thought back to something Long Li had told her.

"Sister Long Li once mentioned that she and Ye Chen had obtained a flame called the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' together. I never expected that Ye Chen, already at the Middle God King Realm, could now control parts of this Extreme Heavenly Object flame!"

For a fleeting moment, Mu Qingxue was overwhelmed with sheer disbelief.

But the very next moment, her thoughts were interrupted.

It was the agonizing screams that jolted her back to reality!

Mu Qingxue turned to look and saw that, though Ye Chen had saved her, he had already moved to engage more of the Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts. However, despite his incredible strength, he was only one man.

By now, five God Kings had already been killed by the other Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts right there on the battlefield!

The source of those chilling screams was the dying cries of the five fallen God Kings!

Their deaths were horrifying beyond description.

They stood no chance against the Middle Immortal Divine Venerable-level Purple-silver Horned Lion Beasts. Some were torn into shreds, their blood painting the ground red.

Others were devoured alive—swallowed whole into the beasts' massive jaws, their bodies crushed as blood streamed grotesquely down the creatures' mouths.

Still others had been bitten into several pieces, their remains disappearing into the beasts' bellies in a grisly, terrifying feast!
