Chapter 885: Ominous Arrival
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As expected, the white-robed figure’s body dimmed a little!
This level tested one’s alchemy flames and vision. This kid had clearly passed the test, despite cultivating both the Dao of Slaughter and the Dao of Alchemy.
He managed to figure out the second level within such a short period of time. Just who was this kid?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, the white-robed figure waved his arm and floated over to the stairs leading up to the third level.
“Although I don’t want to admit it, your talent in alchemy is the most heaven­defying I’ve seen recently. If it’s possible, I hope you can forgo your path of slaughter and focus on alchemy.”
Ye Chen smiled and unsheathed the Dragonslayer Heaven Sword.
“I’m sorry, but the Dao of Alchemy is only a supporting Dao. The Dao of Slaughter is the one that suits me!”
When the white-robed old man heard this, his eyes were filled with deep shock. The Dao of Alchemy was actually just a supporting Dao?
What kind of joke was this kid making?
How many people spent their entire lives yet failed to reach the true Dao of Alchemy?
What was the background of this kid? Why did he feel like he looked familiar?
Ye Chen brushed past the white-robed figure and headed toward the third level. If he was not wrong, Senior Feng, whom he had met in the Land of Slaughter, had passed the third level.
The third level was also the level that truly separated the good alchemy geniuses from the average ones!
The white-robed figure looked at Ye Chen’s back and suddenly slapped his forehead. He had recalled something!
His fingers formed a seal and he hurriedly took out a portrait.
The portrait was old, extremely ancient, and even somewhat incomplete.
He slowly unfolded the portrait with both hands, and traces of an ancient aura spread out. Soon the picture on it was revealed, which depicted the back view of a young man.
The young man carried a divine sword on his back. He held a silver needle in his left hand and a strange black stone in his right hand.
Spiritual energy surrounded him.
What was even more eye-catching was that the young man was actually standing on a 30,000-meter-long blood dragon, which seemed to dance across the nine heavens.
The white-robed figure raised his head abruptly again and stared at Ye Chen’s receding back, comparing it to the portrait. His eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness.
It was quite similar!
The only flaw was that the difference in strength between this kid and the young man in the portrait was too great.
The person in the portrait had at least reached the Daoyuan realm or above, whereas this brat was only a saint king realm cultivator.
“Could this young man be the person who destroyed the world a thousand years ago, the mysterious Heaven Murder Demon Venerable?”
“It’s said that one day in the future, the Heaven Murder Demon Venerable will overturn the Kunlun Mountains for a young girl. He will ride nine dragons and descend to the mortal world.”
A few seconds later, he took the portrait back and shook his head helplessly.
“The prophecies of those few mighty experts have never been acknowledged by outsiders. The situation in the Kunlun Mountains has never been changed, much less overturned for thousands of years or even longer. How can it be ruined by a young man with unknown origins?”
“I’m afraid my eyes are playing tricks on me. This kid only looks a little like the figure in the portrait.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed figure actually dissipated, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, outside the Core Tower, it was completely silent.
No one continued fighting. Everyone was focused on the Core Tower.
This was because the second level of the Core Tower had also begun to shine!
That kid actually cleared a level again!
It had been less than ten minutes again, putting aside the time it took for that kid to break through. By right, the second level should have taken far more time to pass than the first.
This had been the case for all of them. Now, this kid had reached the third level!
Old Fang guarded the door and looked at Daoist Nanxuan. He sneered and said, “Daoist Nanxuan, are you convinced now? From the very beginning, I saw the potential in this little brother. If there really is someone who can break the record, it is this person!”
Daoist Nanxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What’s there to be convinced about? If someone taught him how to pass the first two levels, it actually wouldn’t be difficult. If I’m not wrong, the two of you must have revealed a lot of things to this kid, right? Such despicable methods might be useful in the early stages, but the third level isn’t that simple!”
“lam certain that the second level is his limit!”
Before he could finish, the light around the third level of the Core Tower began to flicker. It was obvious that Ye Chen had passed the third level!
This time, it did not even take a minute!
The surroundings were so silent, that one would be able to hear a pin drop.
Daoist Nanxuan’s expression turned uglier and uglier. It felt as if he had been ruthlessly slapped.
Seeing this scene, Old Yang said with interest, “Karma came really quickly this time. The second level was his limit? It doesn’t seem like he’s stopping anytime soon. Guess someone had a muddled mind to have said that.”
“You!”
Daoist Nanxuan’s face was filled with anger. He wanted to attack, but he was stopped by a few experts behind him.
“We’ll wait for that person to come. We can’t do anything now,” someone reminded him from behind.
Dapost Nanxuan waved his sleeves and stopped talking. When that person came, these two would no longer be able to act so arrogantly.
“Daoist Nanxuan, do you want to bet on something interesting? If that young man passes the fourth level, how about you kneel down and apologize personally?”
“Of course, if that young man doesn’t pass the fourth level, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you, Daoist Nanxuan!”
Old Yang was clearly going all out.
In his opinion, Ye Chen and Alchemy Master Ling Yi were definitely connected, so it should not be difficult for Ye Chen to pass the first few levels of the Core Tower.
The fifth level might be difficult, but the fourth level should be fine.
Daoist Nanxuan naturally would not gamble. Given Ye Chen’s current momentum, reaching the fourth level was only a matter of time.
The key was that this kid was clearly focused on martial arts, so why was his alchemy talent also so heaven-defying?
Since when did cultivators with mortal roots become so monstrous?
While he was pondering this question, the spiritual energy in the surroundings suddenly changed, and black clouds pressed down on Danxu Town.
The invisible pressure made it difficult for everyone present to breathe.
When Daoist Nanxuan saw this, he was ecstatic!
That person was finally here!
If there was anyone who had enough authority to rival Alchemy Master Ling Yi in Danxu Town, it was this person!
His breathing quickened, and he and the others behind him knelt down piously.
Luo Yao and Luo Wuya also sensed that something was wrong. They bowed slightly to show their deep respect.
“Dad, what’s happening?” Luo Yao asked curiously, “Why does it feel so uncomfortable, like a demon has descended?”
