Tomorrow will be the fourth third update after 10 am!
…
Boundless energy surged through Ye Chen's meridians like a vast river. Soon, the Level 5000 energy core began to shrink. From the initial diameter of one zhang, it gradually shrank to six feet, five feet, four feet …
Until finally, it disappeared.
Ye Chen's skin expanded slightly. It was as if there was a big balloon inside his body, propping up his body. Energy shot out from his pores. His eyes were bulging, and he looked extremely terrifying.
"Press!"
"Press!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. The veins on his arms bulged and intertwined like earthworms. As he clenched his fists, his meridians were compressed with a bang. Then, they were pushed back!
Boom!
Ye Chen's mind went blank. All the cells, genes, and brain cells in his body were compressed and transformed under the expansion of his energy. They became tougher and expanded slowly, leading to the growth of his physique.
After a while.
This strange change gradually ended. Ye Chen opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely bright, as if they contained starlight. He clenched his fists slightly. All the bones in his body cracked. The meridians in his body were wider than before. Moreover, his meridians were like jade, glowing with a dark green light. He had evolved from flesh and blood to another extreme, becoming more and more condensed …
"I have reached Level Four Energy Master!"
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He raised his hand and drew. Energy surged out of his palm, forming a small black knife. The knife looked simple and unadorned. It looked almost exactly like a real object.
"With the White Dragon's Water Replication Innate Skill, I can replicate anything with my energy, including the opponent's battle skills and moves!"
Ye Chen waved his hand. The small black knife turned back into energy and entered his body. "With my current level of energy, I am only one step away from being able to replicate the first form of the Devour Innate Skill: Black Hole!"
"With the breakthrough in my energy, my physique has also increased from Level 3000 to Level 3200. An increase of 200 levels is not bad. If I were to put it outside, I would have to kill at least a few thousand Level 3000 wyrms to achieve this." Ye Chen was quite satisfied.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door from afar.
Ye Chen frowned and waved his hand. The wooden bolt on the door opened automatically and the door was pushed open. A young man stood outside with a dazed expression.
"What is it?" Ye Chen asked coldly.
The young man came back to his senses and was slightly shocked. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Three days have passed. Today is the day of the battle in the Internal Sea. Please move to the top of Xuanyuan Mountain and fight with the powerhouses of the Six Immortal Islands of the Internal Sea!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Got it."
The young man hurriedly excused himself.
Ye Chen stood up and pointed a finger. The clear water from the pond in the courtyard floated up and brushed against his face, washing away the dirt and dirt on his face. He looked much more spirited, and then stepped out...
On top of Xuanyuan Mountain.
Looking from afar, it was a sea of people. Many onlookers were chatting with each other. The scenery here was very beautiful. The waterfall was like flying, the spring water was pleasant to the ear, the deer and the beasts were galloping, and the ripples in the forest were rippling.
At the top of the mountain, there was a metal platform and many people were sitting in groups of twos and threes. The Six Immortal Islands of the Internal Sea had sent three people from each island, so there were a total of eighteen people. Including the six from Zhong Hai, there were a total of twenty-four people!
Ye Chen walked over and immediately attracted a lot of attention. Many people looked at him coldly, but they didn't say a word.
Ye Chen sat casually on a chair and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the gazes around him.
Not long after, a soft voice sounded, "Brother Ye."
Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked over. When he saw the straw hat youth, Huang Feng, he nodded slightly.
"The people from the Internal Sea this time are really strong."
Huang Feng, who was sitting beside Ye Chen, chuckled, "It is said that there are six strongest participants in the internal sea, and one of them is the Purple Cloud Island's Zi Wan. This young lady is really something. At such a young age, she has already achieved king rank battle strength, and she has even defeated a Deities Templar's envoy. Clearly, her strength is above second order king rank. Not to mention, rumor has it that her bloodline density is extremely high, exceeding sixty percent. She has awakened the Xuanyuan Divine Physique!
Ye Chen looked calm, but he was secretly shocked. He knew a little about the Xuanyuan Tribe. Everyone was a descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, and they all had Emperor Xuanyuan's bloodline in them. Once they awakened the bloodline, not only would it bring great benefits, but it would also make it easier to inherit the Xuanyuan Divine Sword!
"Zi Wan …" Ye Chen frowned, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Anyone who stood in his way would become his enemy. No matter who they were, they were all trash!
"The other five is Huang Cang from the Sea Wave Island!
He has the combat strength of a Third Order King Grade, and he is as dangerous as Zi Wan.
The rest are Huang Potian from the East God Island, Huang Jian from the Setting Moon Island, Huang Wenmo from the Heavenly Palace Island, and Huang Bingbing from the Lacking Light Island! "
Huang Feng said seriously, "These people all have the combat strength of a Third Order King Grade. Even the weakest among them, Huang Jian, has the combat strength of a Second Order King Grade. Moreover, we don't know if they are hiding their strength."
Ye Chen turned to look at him, and the corner of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile. "You are paying attention to these top experts. Could it be that you want to compete with them?"
Huang Feng was stunned. He scratched his head and said, "It's just a casual remark."
Ye Chen did not ask any more questions. He turned his head and waited quietly.
Dong …
Not long after, the sound of a bell reverberated throughout the area.
"Everyone …" An old man in purple walked out from a majestic temple at the top of the mountain. His whole body was filled with majesty, as if he had replaced Heaven and Earth as the supreme being of the world. "The internal audition will be divided into two rounds. The first round will be held on the altar!
A total of 24 people will enter the Spiritual Altar and place six tokens inside. Only those who obtain the tokens will be considered to have succeeded. The rest will be eliminated! "
"In the second round, these six people will duel to determine the ranking. After that, the remaining 18 people will have two chances to challenge any one of these six people. If they succeed in their challenge, they will be able to replace their position!"
The old man in purple looked around the area. "Now, the competition will begin. Contestants, please come up to the altar. Please cherish your qualifications and respect the Mythical Island behind you!"
All the young men and women were shocked. They looked determined. This was no longer a battle of victory, but a battle of honor!
Their own honor!
Their hometown's honor!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
One by one, figures flew across the sky. Most of them were stepping on the void, displaying their powerful strength and showing the valiance of their King Grade combat strength!
However, there were still four or five people who could only rely on the recoil force to jump up to the altar.
Ye Chen's figure was like the wind. His toes touched the void, and a circle of ripples seemed to ripple out. He moved and landed on the altar. He walked straight to a totem pole, took out a helmet, and slowly put it on.
As the 24 people entered the illusory scene on the Divine Altar, a young man suddenly flew over from the distance and whispered a few words into the purple-clothed old man's ear. The purple-clothed old man slowly frowned. After pondering for a moment, he left the sky above the martial stage and walked into the temple.
The audience below was slightly stunned. They did not understand what had happened.
In the temple.
The purple-robed elder looked at the two figures sitting in the main hall. One of them was the Island Lord of Purple Cloud Island. The other had a burly body and was nearly four meters tall. He looked like a giant and wore golden armor. He was the Island Lord of East God Island.
"What's the matter?" The old man in purple walked over and asked respectfully.
He was only an elder of the temple. In terms of status, he was slightly inferior to the two Island Masters.
The Island Master of Purple Cloud Island said in a low voice, "According to the news, the Blue Moon Island in the middle sea under my jurisdiction was attacked by a mysterious expert. The Temple Emissaries guarding there were slaughtered. When they finally made the report, they only had time to let out a scream and then there was silence. Then, on the other side of the communication device, there was only a chuckle. Then, the communication device was disconnected and we lost contact."
The old man in purple was stunned. Then, his expression changed slightly. He said, "If that's the case, why didn't you send someone to kill them?
Could it be some monster in an old cave deep in the mountains on the island that cultivated into a human form? Or a sea beast … "When he mentioned sea beasts, he immediately shut up. He had lived here for thousands of years and had never heard of sea beasts attacking the island.
Beside him, the Island Master of Eastern God Island shook his head and said, "The Island Master of Purple Cloud Island went to take a look, but he found that the 9,295 entrances on the island were all slaughtered. Their corpses were everywhere, and their deaths were extremely tragic. Their hearts were all pierced or their heads were twisted off. From the clues, it should not be the fault of a large beast. It should be some humanoid monster or a creature from outside the realm …"
"Outside the realm?"
The old man in purple's expression changed. He frowned and thought quickly. Then, he suddenly said, "Recently, there was a young man from outside the realm called Ye Chen. Could that person be his accomplice?"
"Most likely."
The Island Master of Purple Cloud Island looked a little regretful. He sighed softly and said, "I don't know why they came here. Everyone on the Blue Moon Island was buried. My subordinates searched the entire island but could not find the ferocious beast. I personally went to investigate but could not find it either. So, I guess that the ferocious beast most likely went to another island."
The old man in purple's pupils shrank. He said, "Then, aren't the other islands also in danger?"
The Island Master of Purple Cloud Island nodded and said, "The two of us came here for this matter. I hope you can report to the Dragon Emperor and let him personally take action."
The old man in purple agreed without hesitation. He said, "The Dragon Emperor is in seclusion and will come out soon. I will report to him immediately."
"Thank you …" The Island Master of Purple Cloud Island cupped his hands and disappeared.
…
At the same time, in the Spiritual Altar.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and looked at the world in front of him. He saw that the world was desolate and there were ruins everywhere. There were weeds and shrubs everywhere. There were broken stones everywhere. There was no sign of life.
"There was no instruction at all. I don't even know what the token looks like."
Ye Chen frowned and pondered for a moment. "If that's the case, the token must have been activated automatically when I arrived at a certain place. Or, I can get some clues from other things around me."
Ye Chen knew that this would be the second test in the Xuan Yuan Divine Tomb. The first test was to test the ratio of positive and negative energy in one's soul. Coincidentally, he had more positive energy, so he passed.
At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps coming from not far away. The person was slowly walking towards him.
