Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 915 - 865: Bead Refining Diagram (First Update)

Seeing the five Divine Kings who had died tragically, Mu Qingxue's Mind and Spirit trembled.

If Ye Chen hadn't saved her just now, she would very likely have met the same tragic fate!

At this moment, Mu Qingxue couldn't afford to indulge in grief or emotion. This was the critical juncture of the great battle. Even if she couldn't kill the purple-silver horned lion beast, she had to do her utmost alongside the others to resist it, minimizing casualties!

In an instant.

Mu Qingxue flew toward a Divine King under attack by a purple-silver horned lion beast and joined the fight against the beast.

However, amidst this entire battlefield, the Divine Kings were clearly at a complete disadvantage. freewebnøvel.com

The battlefield was divided into three main sections.

The first was Ye Chen, activating the "Blue Extreme Iceflame." After saving Mu Qingxue, he moved on to other purple-silver horned lion beasts, saving two more people.

The second section was Mu Qingxue, teaming up with two other Divine Kings, still struggling to hold their ground.

The third section witnessed two more Divine Kings being killed right there amidst the chaos!

At this moment, the battlefield had been reduced to only Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, and four other Divine Kings.

Yet there were still as many as twenty-two purple-silver horned lion beasts remaining!

Gazing at the roaring, gnashing purple-silver horned lion beasts and the blood-soaked ground, the remaining Divine Kings felt their Minds and Spirits quake in fear.

They knew this was the pivotal moment in their blood battle for survival.

All their hopes rested on Ye Chen. If he couldn't save them, they would meet the same fate as those who had already perished, dying at the claws of the purple-silver horned lion beasts!

"You group together to fend off the purple-silver horned lion beasts. Leave the rest of them to me!"

Ye Chen didn't waste time talking. Activating the Blue Extreme Iceflame, he slew over a dozen purple-silver horned lion beasts in succession before charging at the remaining ones.

"Hold the line!"

"We'll fight to the death to hold them off!"

In this life-and-death moment, seeing Ye Chen throw himself into the battle with reckless abandon, the other Divine Kings knew they too had to give it their all to survive. Everyone unleashed their ultimate powers, even resorting to the life-draining Taboo Skills when they could no longer hold out!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On one side, Ye Chen drove the Blue Extreme Iceflame, relentlessly burning and killing the purple-silver horned lion beasts.

On the other, the purple-silver horned lion beasts howled as they encircled Mu Qingxue and the four remaining Divine Kings!

Finally, after yet another Divine King fell, this bloody battle came to an end with Ye Chen slaying the last purple-silver horned lion beast.

Out of the original thirteen survivors, only five now remained—Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, and three other Divine Kings.

Gazing upon the blood-soaked ground and the now-vanished purple-silver horned lion beasts, two of the three remaining Divine Kings broke down, covering their faces and bursting into tears as the overwhelming pressure lifted.

This battle had cost eight lives.

The surviving Divine Kings now fully understood that in the perilous Red Light Death Zone of the Sea of Mist, their strength was woefully inadequate!

Ye Chen's expression was somber as well.

"The Three Great Undersea Killing Formations: the Explosive Purple Silver Beads were likely the first formation, and these purple-silver horned lion beasts constitute the second formation."

"The threat posed by the purple-silver horned lion beasts is indeed more terrifying than the Explosive Purple Silver Beads!"

"The Explosive Purple Silver Beads lasted for seven full days of explosions. Who knows how many days these 'purple-silver horned lion beasts' will continue to attack."

With this thought in mind, Ye Chen turned to the survivors, saying, "Don't dwell on your sorrow. We need to prepare for the battles ahead."

"This batch of purple-silver horned lion beasts is wiped out, but if another batch appears tomorrow, we must still be ready to face them!"

Ye Chen's words made Mu Qingxue, who was standing closely beside him, clench her fists tightly, and caused the three remaining Divine Kings to shiver in realization.

That's right.

They were not out of danger yet.

If they didn't prepare well, even if they survived this time, there was no guarantee they'd survive next time!

"Ye Chen, do you have any good strategies?"

"If these purple-silver horned lion beasts keep appearing for days like the Explosive Purple Silver Beads, we might not be able to hold out much longer!"

Among the remaining three Divine Kings, two were from the Lancang Divine Kingdom, and one from the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation.

All of them looked anxiously to Ye Chen for answers.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment before speaking. "If the pattern of the Explosive Purple Silver Beads weakening over time holds true, the later batches of purple-silver horned lion beasts may decrease in number, which would be some good news for us."

"However, this is just speculation. To prepare for the purple-silver horned lion beasts, we must take other precautions as well."

"First, we can't stay near the nine massive pits anymore. This location is far too close to where the purple-silver horned lion beasts emerge. We need to find a more defensible area, further away."

Now that it was clear their opponents were purple-silver horned lion beasts and not Explosive Purple Silver Beads, they had to tailor their defense strategies accordingly.

"Second, we must keep training and improving our strength!"

"Most importantly, if we have any Defensive Divine Artifacts that can be set up together, we need to deploy them all!"

As the pillar of support for this group, Ye Chen's remarks earned unanimous nods from the remaining survivors.

No time could be wasted.

After their discussion, the five survivors quickly departed from the vicinity of the nine massive pits. They found a defensible area within the undersea mountain peaks, where they set up their defenses.

Then, everyone began cultivating once more.

This time, as Ye Chen sat cross-legged, he took out tens of thousands of Purple Silver Pearls.

Through the battle with the purple-silver horned lion beasts, Ye Chen realized that while he could handle the threats directly, protecting everyone else was a short-term impossibility.

This realization fueled Ye Chen's driving need to enhance his strength further.

Previously, Ye Chen had been reluctant to overuse the Purple Silver Pearls, since they were incredibly valuable and could nourish the Divine Soul.

But now, he no longer hesitated. To boost his power, he absorbed as much Divine Soul Power from the Purple Silver Pearls as possible, strengthening his Divine Soul techniques and elevating his combat ability!

It wasn't just Ye Chen.

Mu Qingxue and the three remaining Divine Kings also recognized that this was no time to worry about saving Purple Silver Pearls. Survival was their paramount concern now!

Thus, everyone brought out their Purple Silver Pearls and began cultivating with all their might.

A single day passed.

When the next day arrived, coinciding with the time when the purple-silver horned lion beasts would again emerge from the nine great pits, Ye Chen and the others, despite their distance, could still hear the beasts' roars.

"As expected, the purple-silver horned lion beasts don't appear for just one day!"

"They've returned!"

"I wonder if they'll find us here!"

The survivors stood tensely as the roars grew closer.

Soon, they realized there was no escaping fate—the purple-silver horned lion beasts had indeed located them!

However, this time, bolstered by Ye Chen's plan and a day of preparation, the remaining five were no longer thrown into utter chaos like the day before.

Yesterday's attack consisted of fifty-one purple-silver horned lion beasts.

This time, the number had dropped to forty-three, and their combat power had also slightly diminished.

When these purple-silver horned lion beasts rushed toward Ye Chen and his group's hiding spot beneath the undersea mountain peak, Mu Qingxue and the other three Divine Kings immediately activated four Defensive Divine Artifacts, forming a massive Defensive Light Shield. Utilizing the mountainous terrain, they temporarily held off the beasts.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, no longer burdened by the need to protect others, was finally free to focus entirely on combat!

Although it was impossible to kill all forty-three purple-silver horned lion beasts at once, these creatures had no chance of defeating Ye Chen either.

And as long as Ye Chen survived, he could launch his counterattack!

One beast, two beasts, three beasts...

Divine Power surged wildly from Ye Chen as he slew the purple-silver horned lion beasts one by one with his arsenal of skills.

After half an hour, all forty-three purple-silver horned lion beasts lay dead, with Ye Chen emerging completely unscathed!

Even Mu Qingxue and the three others, protected within their Defensive Divine Artifacts, had not suffered any harm!

For the first time, all five survivors had made it through the onslaught of the purple-silver horned lion beasts without any casualties!

"Brother Ye Chen, this method works! We finally survived the threat of the purple-silver horned lion beasts this time!"

After this hard-earned victory, the three remaining Divine Kings were filled with admiration for Ye Chen.

Time and again, it was Ye Chen who had saved them!

Hearing their joyful voices, Ye Chen allowed himself a moment of relief.

Yet his tone remained serious: "The purple-silver horned lion beasts' Killing Formation might be something we can survive."

"However, based on my explorations, there are a total of three Killing Formations. We've only encountered the Explosive Purple Silver Beads and the purple-silver horned lion beasts so far. Even if we survive the beasts, we still have to guard against the third and final Killing Formation!"

On the third day, yet another wave of thirty purple-silver horned lion beasts emerged from the nine massive pits, tracking and assailing Ye Chen's group.

Once again, Ye Chen managed to annihilate them entirely.

By the fourth day, their numbers had decreased to just nineteen purple-silver horned lion beasts, which Ye Chen also eliminated!

Afterward, the number of beasts dwindled even further, dropping to seven or eight, with their combat power reduced to only the level of Heavenly Divine Venerable.

Eventually, even Mu Qingxue and the three remaining Divine Kings abandoned defense and joined the battle against the purple-silver horned lion beasts.

Seven days later, Ye Chen and the other four survivors finally triumphed over the threat of the purple-silver horned lion beasts' Killing Formation.

Yet none of them relaxed.

Because, following the established pattern, the third Killing Formation was imminent.

On the fifteenth day since Ye Chen's group entered the undersea mountain peak, the third Killing Formation finally appeared before them.

That day began with a voice echoing across the entire undersea mountain peak where Ye Chen and his companions stood.

"Challengers trapped in the deadly sea bottom: if you can comprehend the designated portions of this 'Bead Refining Diagram' within the allotted time, you will be transported out of the deadly sea bottom and into a new realm!"

Boom!

Following the announcement, Ye Chen and the others looked up to see an enormous, breathtaking diagram materializing in the sky above the undersea mountain peak.
