Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! An intense wind blew past Ye Chen's ears. At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't even open his eyes. The whole world was incomparably silent. He couldn't hear anything, and he didn't want to care about anything. He only wanted to sleep for a while, and it would be best if he never woke up.
"Not good!"
After biting the tip of his tongue for the umpteenth time, Ye Chen tried his best to use the pain to wake himself up. Then, he stuffed a Yuan Qi replenishing pellet into his mouth.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen felt that his thoughts had slowed down a lot. At this moment, even an ordinary Sea of Soul Master could knock him down in one strike.
"My strength is still too weak. Since I've reached this point, there is no such thing as a peak master level opponent. My true opponents are half-step Kings. If I want to leave this graveyard alive, if I want to make a name for myself and not be looked down upon, I can only increase my strength."
At this moment, the only thought in Ye Chen's mind was to find a place to heal. If he didn't, he would die soon. After healing, he didn't plan to act immediately. Instead, he would try his best to break through to late Sea of Soul realm. When he had enough strength, it would not be too late to leave.
However, the problem at hand was that he couldn't find a good place to train. He didn't want to find a random place to heal, which would make him die even faster.
"Seems like geniuses also need enough luck. Let's hope I can find a place to train as soon as possible."
Ye Chen smiled self-mockingly, feeling that he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
Reality proved that Ye Chen's luck was quite good. After half a cup of tea's time, just as Ye Chen was about to collapse, he found a stone chamber. The stone door of this chamber moved up and down, and there was a mechanism to open the door. Without any hesitation, Ye Chen smashed the switch, and the stone door slowly rose up. With a swish, Ye Chen rushed in and closed the door.
"All these years of luck accumulation did not go to waste."
As the last thought flashed through his mind, Ye Chen fainted.
Before he fainted, the Undying Body had already begun to take effect, continuously healing his internal injuries from the inside out. The pills that he had swallowed had turned into streams of vital energy, providing the Undying Body with a source of energy. After all, the Undying Body also needed to consume energy.
…
Murong Qingcheng, who was far away, frowned, and a worried look appeared on her face. She faintly felt that something related to her was being threatened, and it made her very uncomfortable. No matter how she thought about it, only Ye Chen could make her feel uneasy.
But very quickly, Murong Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. The uneasiness in her heart automatically dissipated. Perhaps Ye Chen was already out of danger.
…
After an unknown period of time, Ye Chen woke up from his slumber.
He took out the water bottle from his storage ring and realized that three days had passed.
"Three days!"
Letting out a sigh, Ye Chen started to check his injuries.
What made him slightly happy was that his injuries, which were close to death, had already recovered by 30%, and he had a certain amount of combat strength. This was because the elixirs that replenished his vitality had already been used up. If someone had fed him elixirs in these three days, it was very likely that his injuries would have recovered by more than 50%.
"Fortunately, I'm out of danger now."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chen looked around. After discovering that the stone chamber was empty, he no longer paid attention to it. Grabbing another handful of elixirs, he stuffed them into his mouth.
While unconscious, the Undying Body would automatically operate. After waking up, Ye Chen could actively operate the Undying Body, increasing his recovery speed by several folds.
Another two days passed, and Ye Chen's body had recovered to ninety percent.
"Almost there. This bit of injury won't affect me much. Next, I'll break through to late Sea of Soul realm with all my strength!"
Breaking through from the peak of mid Sea of Soul realm to late Sea of Soul realm was extremely difficult. It could be said that it was two to three times more difficult than breaking through from the peak of early Sea of Soul realm to mid Sea of Soul realm. If one were to say that there were a hundred Sea of Soul realm experts, sixty would be at early Sea of Soul realm, thirty-eight would be at mid Sea of Soul realm, and as for late Sea of Soul realm, only two or three would be at most, which was only two to three percent. One could imagine how difficult it would be to reach late Sea of Soul realm.
If not for the fact that Ye Chen had already touched the barrier of late Sea of Soul realm, he wouldn't have thought of breaking through immediately. After all, it was too unrealistic. How could breaking through realms be so easy?
Of course, once he broke through, the benefits would be enormous.
The state of being one with the world lasted even longer, roughly two to three times longer than the time it took to break through from the peak of early Sea of Soul realm to mid Sea of Soul realm. With such a state, Ye Chen had a premonition that all his profounds would improve greatly.
With his meridians almost fully repaired, Ye Chen sucked in a deep breath and entered the ethereal state, slowly operating his Zhen Yuan and making a great circulation.
As his Zhen Yuan circulated, a cyan radiance appeared around Ye Chen's body, making him look like a cyan statue.
That night, although Ye Chen didn't operate the Undying Body intentionally, his injuries were completely healed without any mishap. Moreover, after this near-death experience, the strength of Ye Chen's body had greatly increased, as if he had been reborn from a bath of blood. His essence, qi, and soul were even more powerful and abundant than before.
Huff!
Letting out a breath of impure Qi, Ye Chen paused his cultivation and took a pear from the Fire Pear Tree in his Plant Ring, fiercely taking a bite.
The red crystal-like pear was crisp and tender, and its flesh melted in his mouth, nourishing his body and slowly increasing his body's strength.
"This Fire Pear Tree needs to be nurtured properly. Unfortunately, I don't have any spirit tree nutrient fluid."
Mid grade spirit tree nutrient fluid could be used for a hundred years in one year. In other words, using mid grade spirit tree nutrient fluid to nurture a Fire Pear Tree could increase its maturity by one hundred years. Peak mid grade spirit tree nutrient fluid could increase it by two hundred years in one year. If it were upper grade spirit tree nutrient fluid, it would be even more amazing. One year could be used for five hundred years, or even six or seven hundred years. Only ten years would be needed to turn a several thousand year old Fire Pear Tree into a ten thousand year old one.
A ten thousand years old upper grade Fire Pear Tree was several times more precious than a supreme grade artifact. There were at least five thousand Fire Pears growing out of it, and the effect of each pear was more or less the same as a Sea of Soul realm spirit crystal stone. It was extremely astonishing.
Of course, the current Fire Pear Tree wasn't bad either. It was more than three thousand years old, and dozens of Fire Pears were equivalent to a Sea of Soul realm spirit crystal stone.
The longer it was eaten, the greater the effect would be.
"Spirit tree nutrient fluid is not easy to refine. I'll try my luck in the auction later!" Ye Chen had a lot of upper grade spirit stones on him, as well as some extremely valuable treasures such as soul stones. Encountering an upper grade spirit tree nutrient fluid, Ye Chen couldn't let go of it.
After resting for a while, Ye Chen continued cultivating.
…
While Ye Chen was cultivating, a portion of people had already arrived at Fire Bird King's graveyard. Ghost Wood King and Gopher King were among them.
Ghost Wood King and Gopher King had entered Gray Wolf King's graveyard a day later than Ye Chen and the rest. Unfortunately, their luck wasn't good, and they didn't gain anything. Thus, they could only give up on the graveyard and enter Fire Bird King's graveyard to try their luck. As demonic beasts, they greatly hoped to obtain the inherited demonic arts of the four Demonic Kings.
"I wonder who has the second key?"
Gopher King muttered.
"Zun 'er."
Armored King signaled Xia Houzun.
"Yes."
Xia Houzun didn't intend to monopolize Fire Bird King's graveyard. With so many people guarding here, he simply couldn't afford to waste time. Moreover, once the graveyard was opened, it couldn't be closed, and others could enter as well. Thus, he might as well open the graveyard openly.
"Why is it the young generation again?"
Many people revealed doubtful expressions. The first key was in Jiang Tian's hands, and the second was in Xia Houzun's hands. They suspected that the third and fourth keys' owners would also be youngsters. There seemed to be some sort of rule that allowed the youngsters to obtain the keys.
Creak!
Fire Bird King's graveyard's entrance loudly opened.
"Let's go in."
"Fire Bird King is a bit stronger than Gray Wolf King, so he should have more treasures."
"I hope my luck is good."
Everyone gathered here entered Fire Bird King's graveyard one after another.
While flying, Gopher King said to Ghost Wood King, "I wonder if those people have come here. It would be best if we can bump into them."
Ghost Wood King said, "This time, we won't let them escape. We can kill them one by one."
"Right. I suspect that the kid you're fighting also has a great treasure." Gopher King's small eyes revealed an ominous glint.
Several hours later, Wind Storm King Jiang Tian and Iron Hand King also appeared.
"That kid might be dead."
Iron Hand King didn't think that Ye Chen could survive after suffering such heavy injuries.
"For him, death is better. Living would be more painful."
"Haha, indeed."
The three put aside Ye Chen's matter and entered Fire Bird King's graveyard.
Soon, Qing Liu and Yan Fengfeng also appeared.
"I wonder how Ye Chen and the rest are doing."
Frowning, Qing Liu and Yan Fengfeng's figures flickered, entering the second graveyard.
…
Time passed bit by bit, and Ye Chen finally reached the crucial moment. He could feel that the Zhen Yuan in his body was showing signs of transformation. It was like an undercurrent under a calm ocean, ready to erupt with a huge potential at any time and raise a huge wave.
"If I don't use it now, then when?"
Ye Chen had once killed Murong Qingcheng's eldest uncle, the extremely ambitious Murong Wang, and obtained seven supreme grade spirit stones. Supreme grade spirit stones were used by Life and Death Kings for cultivation. The Yuan Qi contained within them was astonishing, and each one had a huge value. Previously, Ye Chen was reluctant to use them. But now, he had no choice but to use them.
Taking out a supreme grade spirit stone, Ye Chen held it in his palm and absorbed the energy within.
Supreme grade spirit stones were worthy of being called supreme grade spirit stones. They didn't need to be refined at all, and could be directly absorbed. Instantly, the Zhen Yuan in Ye Chen's body thickened. Although the absorbed Zhen Yuan couldn't become his permanent Zhen Yuan and was an external force that would gradually dissipate if he couldn't break through, without a doubt, this external force increased Ye Chen's chances of breaking through to late Sea of Soul realm.
"Break!"
Roaring inwardly, Ye Chen summoned his Zhen Yuan and attacked that nonexistent barrier.
