Someone had actually launched a sneak attack on Ye Chen at this moment.
Furthermore, this person's strength was extremely terrifying. The broken sword in Ye Chen's hand was simply unable to stop this attack.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen's figure retreated several dozen feet. He glared at the person in front of him and shouted coldly, "Who are you?"
"Wu Chunqiu."
The person who answered Ye Chen wasn't Wu Chunqiu, but the Heroic Spirits in Ye Chen's mind.
Although these Heroic Spirits looked down on Wu Chunqiu, they also knew that Wu Chunqiu couldn't be underestimated. He was even more terrifying than the martialists that Ye Chen had just defeated.
"Young Master Chunqiu."
The martialists that had been beaten up miserably by Ye Chen were delighted when they saw Wu Chunqiu. "This brat doesn't take you seriously at all. You must teach him a good lesson."
Wu Chunqiu scanned the surroundings coldly before his gaze landed on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was also sizing up Wu Chunqiu at the moment.
Ye Chen had heard of Wu Chunqiu's name several times before. However, this was the first time he was seeing him in person.
As the second genius of the Sacred Race's younger generation, Wu Chunqiu was rather young. He looked like he was in his twenties. Although his appearance wasn't very outstanding, the strange aura that he exuded made him stand out.
Wu Chunqiu's cultivation base had already reached the Fourth Firmament of the Divine Path.
As for his true combat strength, Ye Chen couldn't tell.
"Ye Chen, it's no wonder that you were able to cause so many disturbances in the Ancestral Burial Ground recently. You do have some skills. I'll give you a way out. Hand over eight million Dark Soul Pearls and I'll let you go today," Wu Chunqiu said indifferently as he scanned Ye Chen.
Although his tone was indifferent, the killing intent in his words was so dense that it made the surrounding temperature drop significantly.
Such an unquestionable tone caused Ye Chen's eyebrows to frown as he said, "If you want to borrow the Dark Soul Pearls, you have to do it according to my conditions. Otherwise, you won't even get a single Dark Soul Pearl."
"How dare you! You think you're qualified to bargain with me?" Wu Chun Qiu's eyes flashed with coldness as he disappeared.
Even Ye Chen was unable to sense where Wu Chunqiu was.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had been on his guard the moment Wu Chunqiu had appeared. Hence, without any hesitation, Ye Chen's figure flashed to the side and pressed his palm on a tombstone beside him.
Buzz!
A woman slowly walked out from the center of the tombstone.
The woman was holding a long sword in her hand.
After scanning her surroundings, the woman drew her sword and slashed down at an empty space beside her.
A mist-like existence was sliced in half by the woman's sword.
The mist gathered in one spot and returned to Wu Chunqiu's appearance.
At the same time, the woman's shadow that Ye Chen had summoned from the tombstone also dissipated at this moment.
"Ancestor's Heroic Spirit, you were actually able to trigger the Ancestor's battle intent in this place." Wu Chunqiu stared at Ye Chen in confusion and fear.
Ye Chen's performance amazed Wu Chunqiu.
The reason Wu Chunqiu had been able to become one of the top geniuses of the Sacred Race's younger generation was because he had triggered the blessings of the gods. This was something that everyone knew.
However, Wu Chunqiu knew very well that the opportunity he had encountered wasn't the blessings of the gods. It was another opportunity.
Although this opportunity might bring him benefits that weren't necessarily inferior to the blessings of the gods, it was still an opportunity.
The problem was that the Sacred Race only recognized the blessings of the gods.
If Wu Chunqiu hadn't really triggered the blessings of the gods and had only encountered another opportunity, the chances of him being recognized by the Sacred Race would have been much lower.
Therefore, the blessings of the gods had always been a taboo in Wu Chunqiu's mind.
Although he wanted to trigger the true blessings of the gods, he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.
However, Ye Chen's performance had made the words "blessings of the gods" appear in Wu Chunqiu's mind again.
Previously, Ye Chen had casually pulled out a broken sword and unleashed a terrifying sword intent that could suppress a fourth-level Divine Path martialist.
Now, Ye Chen had actually triggered an Ancestor's Heroic Spirit to fight in his place.
This meant that Ye Chen was more familiar with this place than Wu Chunqiu.
It was even possible that there were countless Heroic Spirits secretly guiding Ye Chen. That was why Ye Chen was so familiar with this place.
If countless Heroic Spirits were willing to possess a person and guide them, there was only one possibility: a person who had truly received the blessings of the gods.
"Could this kid be the one who really triggered the blessings of the gods?" Wu Chunqiu's murderous intent intensified as he stared coldly at Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen had really triggered the blessings of the gods, then Wu Chunqiu would definitely kill Ye Chen there and then.
Otherwise, if the truth was exposed, Wu Chunqiu's good days in the Sacred Race would be gone forever. His current status and authority would be completely replaced by Ye Chen.
"You do have some tricks up your sleeve, but you must be dreaming if you think you can contend against me with this." Wu Chunqiu's eyes were cold as he took out a small cauldron.
The surface of the small cauldron was engraved with countless patterns. The lid and the body of the cauldron were completely fused together. However, there were a dozen holes of various sizes on the lid of the cauldron.
Wu Chunqiu held the bottom of the cauldron with one hand and activated the patterns on the cauldron slightly. Shadows immediately appeared in the holes on the lid of the cauldron.
Some of these shadows looked like giant snakes, some looked like centipedes, and some looked like venomous insects.
Dozens of sinister-looking venomous insect shadows lunged at Ye Chen.
"Spiritual attack." Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. With a thought, illusory realms immediately formed in front of him.
3,000 great realms!
The power of this move was many times stronger than when Ye Chen had first started cultivating it.
Although there was no power of sacrifice, 100 illusory realms were formed in front of Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, this kid's cauldron is called the 10,000 Dragons Cauldron. It's a spiritual artifact that has reached the 10,000 pattern level. You definitely won't be able to withstand his attack."
In Ye Chen's mind, a Heroic Spirit began to guide Ye Chen.
It had to be said that Wu Chunqiu had a good eye. He could tell at a glance that Ye Chen was familiar with this place because Ye Chen had many Heroic Spirits to guide him.
These Heroic Spirits were rather disdainful of Wu Chunqiu.
Speaking of which, these Heroic Spirits were the main characters of this ancestral cemetery. Therefore, with the guidance of these Heroic Spirits, even if Ye Chen and Wu Chunqiu fell out, Ye Chen wouldn't have to fear the other party.
Whoosh!
Indeed, just as the Heroic Spirit had said, Wu Chunqiu's 10,000 Dragons Cauldron broke through the hundreds of illusory realms that Ye Chen had set up in an instant.
Immediately, these illusory venomous insects lunged at Ye Chen.
With the support of the 10,000 Dragons Cauldron, these venomous insects were very powerful. Before they even attacked Ye Chen, Ye Chen could already feel his soul trembling.
