After the old man left, the Mysterious Yin King wanted to rush out of the Mysterious Yin Tower and escape. However, as soon as he stepped out, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky above the ocean. Inside the black hole, a golden lightning pierced through the sky and landed on the Mysterious Yin King's foot as if it had teleported.
Pop!
The Mysterious Evil King's entire foot was burned into ashes by the golden flame, and the fire spread towards his body. However, when it entered the Mysterious Yin Tower, the golden flame died out automatically, and the Mysterious Evil King also gave up on leaving the Mysterious Yin Tower.
Above the ocean, the elder's figure appeared. He raised his head and saw the black hole slowly disappear. The expression on his face changed many times.
"Although the Mysterious Yin Tower restricted the Mysterious Evil King's freedom, it also increased his battling ability. Damn, I can't believe that in one battle, I lost hundreds of years of cultivation. This hundreds of years of cultivation, I will need at least a few months to recover."
The elder's expression was not good. Losing a lot of cultivation, although it wouldn't decrease his battling ability, it would affect his stamina. Most importantly, if he didn't recover the lost cultivation immediately, the longer it took, the harder it would be for him to recover.
"They shouldn't have gone far, should I go after them?"
A look of hesitation flashed across the elder's face.
Pooh!
Suddenly, the elder spat out a mouthful of cold blood. The blood was grey, and once it touched the air, it made a sizzling sound.
"Damn, I will clear out the Yin Qi in my body first."
Feeling that there was too much Yin Qi in his body, it would be a hindrance to recovering his cultivation, so the elder gave up on the idea of searching for Murong Qingcheng. To him, as long as he recovered, finding a person would be a piece of cake. There was no need to make things too difficult for himself.
Pop!
The figure disappeared like a black bubble, and the elder disappeared without a trace.
…
Ye Chen took Murong Qingcheng with him, but didn't leave the ruins immediately. Instead, he found a very hidden building and temporarily moved in.
If he went back the way he came, he would undoubtedly encounter the self-exploding fireflies. Ye Chen was not confident that he could leave this place safely with the unconscious Murong. It was better to wait for Murong to regain consciousness first.
However, Ye Chen was also a little anxious. It was hard to say how long it would take for Murong Rong to recover from the Soul Shock. It was possible that Murong Rong could recover now, but it was also possible that she would not wake up for a long time. This depended on her luck, and it also depended on whether Murong Rong's soul was condensed or not.
Spreading a blanket on the floor, Ye Chen carefully placed Murong on it. Looking at her pale and delicate face, Ye Chen sighed softly and sat cross-legged to the side. He began to regulate his breathing and heal his injuries.
If it was anyone else, they would have suffered serious internal injuries from the Tiamat's Wrath and would not be able to recover within three to five days. Fortunately, Ye Chen had the most basic Immortal Body. As long as the injuries did not affect his core, he would be able to recover in a short period of time.
Half an hour later, Ye Chen slowly let out a breath of turbid Qi and opened his eyes.
"I didn't expect this to be a blessing in disguise. The Mysterious Yin King's soul sound wave greatly increased the burden on my heart, but it also stimulated the effect of the Heart Nurturing Grass. Originally, I would need more than a month to refine the Heart Nurturing Grass into my heart. But now, I only need a week."
"I'll take this opportunity and try to break through to half-step King realm. Even if I can't break through, I'll at least familiarize myself with it."
Keeping his promise, Ye Chen began his second attempt at half-step king warrior realm.
On the fifth day …
On this day, Murong Qingcheng groaned and woke up from her coma.
"I'm not dead!"
Murong Qingcheng thought that she was dead for sure. Now that she had woken up, it proved that she was only unconscious. At that time, her soul was in a mess, and she thought that she was dead for sure.
Turning her head, Murong Qingcheng saw Ye Chen sitting cross-legged on the ground. Steam was rising from his body, and he seemed to be beside a stove.
Knowing that Ye Chen was trying to break through to half-step King realm, Murong Qingcheng didn't disturb him. She crawled up from the bed and sat cross-legged on the ground. Taking a deep breath, she slowly entered a meditative state.
On the eighth day …
Ye Chen woke up.
Huff!
"It's still not enough. Seems like I'll have to refine all three Heart Nurturing Grass before I can enter half-step King realm. However, I've finally refined the first one."
Beside him, Murong Qingcheng sensed Ye Chen's movements and opened her eyes.
"Still not successful?"
Ye Chen said joyfully, "You're awake!"
"Yeah, it feels like a dream!"
Murong Qingcheng leaned over. Being alive was a gift from the heavens. She couldn't bear to die.
"It's good that you're awake. As for breaking through to half-step King realm, there's no rush. I'll succeed sooner or later." When Murong Qingcheng hadn't woken up, Ye Chen had always felt that he couldn't enter the right state. There were too many worries. The soul was a person's foundation, and it was very troublesome.
Hugging Murong, Ye Chen stood up and said, "Since you're awake, let's leave this place first. This is not a good place."
"How is Mysterious Yin King?"
Murong Qingcheng suddenly asked. She didn't know how Ye Chen had brought her out safely.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your Demonic Human King. He fought with Mysterious Yin King, and I took the opportunity to leave the thirty-third floor. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for us to leave alive. As for Mysterious Yin King and Demonic Human King, I think they're still alive. At their level, killing each other is very difficult."
"It's the Chaotic Demonic Ocean's Demonic Human King!"
Murong Qingcheng said in astonishment.
"It should be. I'll try my best to enter half-step King realm. Otherwise, if I run into them, I won't even have the strength to fight back."
Although entering half-step King realm meant that Ye Chen couldn't be an opponent of Life and Death Kings, he had a large amount of Zhen Yuan crystals, which could allow him to increase his cultivation base to a certain extent. Once his cultivation base was enough, adding on his own tricks, it would be better than having no hope at all.
Murong Qingcheng woke up, and the two left the ruins with much more ease. Those self-exploding fireflies still couldn't do anything to her Dark Force Field.
After leaving the ruins, the two dived for a long time. Only when they were tens of thousands of li away from this place did they break out of the water.
Huff!
Breathing in the fresh air, the two felt as if they had seen the sun again.
"Let's find an uninhabited island first."
Ye Chen looked around and said to Murong Qingcheng.
"I feel that my cultivation base can increase again." Murong Qingcheng nodded.
…
Finding an island in the Boundless Ocean was too easy. In less than half a day, the two found a relatively safe island.
After the effect of the Heart Nourishing Grass had been used up, Ye Chen swallowed the second one. While refining it, he comprehended the space profound while studying the Bewitching Mirror Shattering. The two complemented each other, and studying them together brought about unimaginable benefits.
As Ye Chen's first space profound sword art, Bewitching Mirror Shattering opened a new door for Ye Chen. As he studied it more and more, Ye Chen felt that the space profound was more and more profound. Wherever one was, there was a space. Space was not a box, but a container that could hold everything. Even time itself had an inseparable connection with this container.
As the intensity of the Bewitching Mirror Shattering increased, Ye Chen faintly felt that the things he saw were different from before. Before, he was limited to the surface. But now, he could already look at the essence of things. Perhaps it was a little hard to adapt to looking at the essence of things at the beginning, but once he got used to it, it would have an unimaginable effect on his future path.
"Break!"
As the sword slashed out, the seawater on the east side of the island twisted and folded, splitting into countless layers. Each layer was like a glass container.
Peng!
The seawater within the range of the space power was completely shattered, and waves soared into the sky.
"It should be about eighty to ninety percent done!"
Sheathing the Evil Vanquishing Sword, Ye Chen let the waves wash over his body.
Unknowingly, a month had passed.
The second Heart Nourishing Grass had been refined successfully. Compared to before, Ye Chen's heart strength was several times stronger. With his blood pumping faster, his heart was like a drum, letting out thumping sounds. This sound caused the surrounding earth to shake and dust to rise.
Once, Ye Chen had dived into the sea. The sound of his heart beating had even killed a fourth grade demonic beast. Ripples spread out in all directions with Ye Chen as the center. It was hard to imagine the extent of Ye Chen's heartbeat.
However, this was not the end. Ye Chen had officially refined the third Heart Nourishing Grass. Once he succeeded, he would attempt to break through to half-step King realm. This time, he could only succeed; failure was not allowed.
On the other side …
A powerful demonic aura soared into the sky, dyeing the sky black. Black whirlwinds appeared out of nowhere and revolved around the island, fiercely blowing.
Murong Qingcheng's cultivation base had clearly increased by another level. She was getting closer and closer to a veteran half-step King. Apart from this, the soul membrane of half-step Kings would also increase along with the increase in cultivation base. For example, the yellow-robed woman was a 'strongest' half-step King. Even if she suffered the soul sound waves of Mysterious Yin King, she would only suffer some injuries and not lose consciousness. This was the effect of the soul membrane.
On the other hand, Ye Chen possessed a fifth step Destruction Sword Soul and fourth step Immortal Sword Soul, as well as a soul power five times that of ordinary people. Even if he wasn't a half-step King, he could completely resist Mysterious Yin King's soul sound waves. Compared to the yellow-robed woman, once he entered half-step King realm and formed his soul membrane, it would be difficult for even Life and Death Kings to attack him with soul power.
Unless it was some extremely frightening heaven grade high step soul attack secret art, or a heaven grade peak soul attack secret art of annihilation …
Another month passed by …
Suddenly, a huge wave rose up in the sea. The huge wave took the shape of a ring and suddenly spread out. This was not the end. In the center of the ring-shaped wave, a huge water ball was suddenly born. It expanded to a size of several dozen meters before exploding violently. Water vapor filled the air.
Dong Dong Dong Dong!
The intense vibrations could be heard even on the island, startling some seabirds and causing them to flutter their wings and flee in panic.
"Three Heart Nourishing Grass actually strengthened my heart to this extent. It seems like the success rate of breaking through to half-step King realm is at least seventy percent."
Ye Chen emerged from the sea and stood on a reef.
What Ye Chen didn't know was that the main reason his heart could be strengthened to this extent was related to his Undying Body. The human body had a limit, and too much medicinal energy would be wasted, and the body wouldn't be able to endure it all at once. If it were someone else, refining three Heart Nourishing Grass might not be as effective as refining one Heart Nourishing Grass for Ye Chen. This was because Ye Chen's Undying Body could maximize the potential of his body, allowing him to absorb medicinal energy like a bottomless pit. Moreover, if there was any injury, the Undying Body would also help repair it. As long as his heart didn't explode, there wouldn't be any problem.
Therefore, although the Undying Body seemed insignificant in many aspects, nobody knew the truth. At the very least, Ye Chen wasn't clear about it.
