"Ye Chen, let's attack together."
Lan Yue drew her Blue Moon Saber.
Boom, boom, boom, boom …
The two joined hands to attack the barrier. Instantly, the barrier trembled violently like a rubber ball, constantly sinking and bulging, while the divine stones inside remained motionless.
After an entire two hours, a crack finally appeared on the light barrier.
"Let's work harder!"
Ye Chen attacked tirelessly. If they couldn't get the divine stones now, it would be a thousand times more difficult for them to get them when the others came.
More and more cracks appeared on the barrier, making it look like a hollow crystal on the verge of shattering.
Bang!
A crisp shattering sound resounded as the barrier shattered.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three divine stones seemed to have a mind of their own as they flew off in three different directions at an astonishing speed.
"Don't let them get away!" Lan Yue's figure flashed as she chased after one of the divine stones. Having comprehended the essence of the word 'line', her speed was extremely fast. In just a short moment, she had caught the divine stone. It was strange that the power contained in the divine stone could be said to be terrifying, but it didn't harm anyone. It was as if whoever touched it first would possess it and wouldn't resist.
Ye Chen's speed was only a bit slower than Lan Yue's. He soon caught up to one of the divine stones. Now, there was only one left, and it had flown far away.
"Haha, it's a divine stone!"
A figure suddenly appeared in the direction the divine stone flew to. It was the Divine Fire Tribe's Raging Blaze Hall's Hallmaster, Huo Wubian. He grabbed the divine stone and laughed heartily.
"What dogshit luck!"
Lan Yue was indignant.
"There are still two more. Let's go first." Through the Netherworld Sacred Eye, Ye Chen saw Huo Wujin and Hei Sha, three quasi-legendary sovereigns. Even he couldn't guarantee that he could resist them. It was best to leave first. For him, one divine stone was enough. As long as he could restore the origin of the Heavenly Sword, his attack would be more than a hundred times stronger. Of course, it would be even better if he had two divine stones.
"Damn it, wait until I fuse this divine stone into my Fire Divine Halberd. Then, your time will come." Huo Wubian knew that he wouldn't be able to catch up to Ye Chen and Lan Yue, so he gave up. Most importantly, he had obtained a divine stone. For now, he could put the matter of hunting down Ye Chen and Lan Yue to the back of his mind. There was nothing more important than his own matters.
"I'll also leave first. Otherwise, Huo Wujin and Hei Sha will definitely be jealous when they see that I have divine stones." Huo Wubian pondered for a moment before flying in the direction he came from.
Fifteen minutes later, Huo Wujin and Hei Sha appeared.
"Nothing!"
Huo Wujin and Hei Sha exchanged a glance. They had clearly sensed that the source of the radiance was here.
The Black Fiend closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment. Swish! His eyes opened, and a cold light shone in them. "Someone came just now. Three people. One of them is from your Divine Flame Tribe. He should be Huo Wubian. The other two are the people we're chasing."
"They got the God's Stone?" Huo Wujin's face was dark. He did not doubt the Black Fiend's ability. The Black Fiend was proficient in the profundities of Yin and Yang, and he knew a Yin Yang Secret Art that could sense the aura left behind by others. "Let's not waste any more time. Let's chase after them and not let them leave the twelfth level."
Once they left the twelfth level, they would be free to fly.
Following the aura, the two chased in the direction where Ye Chen and Lan Yue flew, raising their speed to the limit.
"Huo Wujin and the Black Fiend have caught up."
Ye Chen was constantly paying attention to the situation behind him. The Netherworld Sacred Eye had given him time to prepare.
"What should we do?"
Actually, Lan Yue could take out her courtyard and enter it. With the defensive power of the courtyard's array, not to mention the two of them who were only Quasi-Legend rank Sovereigns, even a true Legend rank Sovereign would be able to hold on for a while. During this time, they could completely fuse the divine stone into the saint artifact and increase its power. At that time, they would have a fighting chance. But there was a problem. She didn't want to expose her courtyard. Once it was exposed, they would definitely guess that she was from the Unfalling Eagle Tribe. She didn't want to return to the tribe so quickly.
"Their speed is a bit slower than ours. Let's see if we can return to the eleventh level."
As long as they returned to the eleventh level, they would be safe. The twelfth level would consume too much sword energy.
After flying for a while …
"Looks like we won't be able to reach the eleventh level." Lan Yue sighed. The twelfth level's terrain was actually moving. After flying for a while, they were completely lost in the twelfth level.
"Since we're already here, let's find a place to fuse the divine stone into the saint artifact."
Fusing the divine stone into the saint artifact was a very dangerous matter. The slightest carelessness could cause the saint artifact to be destroyed. A supreme artifact could only contain a limited amount of divine stone. The more perfect a supreme artifact was, the more divine stone it could contain. Apart from that, if the method of fusing the divine stone wasn't ingenious and meticulous enough, the saint artifact would also be destroyed. It was like a person who could eat a bowl of rice, but if you asked him to eat a bowl of rice in one go, he would definitely be stuffed to death.
Although the twelfth level's temperature was high, there were still mountains.
A tall mountain appeared in front of the two of them.
The two of them discovered something strange. The temperature in the mountain was countless times lower than outside. Furthermore, the mountain rocks were extremely hard. The two of them used all their strength, but they could only leave a mark on the mountain wall. Fortunately, this mountain seemed to have been visited by someone. There was an unfathomable cave on the mountain wall.
"It must be a Legendary rank Sovereign."
Lan Yue guessed.
"En!"
Ye Chen nodded. With their strength, digging an unfathomable cave was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Only Legendary rank Sovereigns could do it easily. Unexpectedly, this twelfth level had long been discovered by someone else. It was just that it was kept a secret. As for the divine stone, it would be obtained by those who were fated. It wasn't guaranteed that whoever came first would be able to obtain it.
Ye Chen scanned the cave with his Netherworld Sacred Eye. Seeing that there was no danger in the cave, the two of them rushed in and moved a huge boulder to block the entrance. If someone wanted to force their way in, they would have to break the boulder first. The more dangerous thing was that if the other party came in, the two of them would have nowhere to go. They could only fight with all their strength.
The cave lit up. The two of them meditated on the spot, far away from each other.
Taking out the divine stone and the heavenly sword, Ye Chen took a deep breath and slowly stuck the divine stone on the heavenly sword, establishing a connection between the two. Then, he urged the heavenly sword to absorb the divine stone's power. This process was very tedious. The divine stone contained too much power, and the absorption speed couldn't be too fast. It could only be done bit by bit.
Buzz!
Like dry and cracked land meeting rainwater, the heavenly sword 'hungrily' absorbed the divine stone's power. Ye Chen vaguely discovered that the damaged source inside the heavenly sword was slowly recovering.
"It's really effective."
Ye Chen thought.
His growth time was too short. He had too many shortcomings. Currently, only the sacred tool could help him close the gap between him and the others. He was at a disadvantage in other aspects. This couldn't be rushed.
