"What is this? A third eye? "
Darklight King had a bad premonition. The crack on Ye Chen's forehead was like a silver vertical eye. It didn't have a pupil, but he could feel that the power of the vertical eye had already penetrated through his forehead and into his Sea of Soul. A majestic soul pressure was firmly locking onto him.
Puff!
A silver beam shot out from Ye Chen's vertical eye and drilled into Darklight King's Sea of Soul. Darklight King's Sea of Soul was on the verge of collapse, but as soon as the silver beam entered, his Sea of Soul was pierced through, and his remnant consciousness was annihilated.
With the crisis of Sea of Soul self-destruction resolved, Darklight King's remnant consciousness disappeared. The Zhen Yuan within his body hadn't been brewed to the most crucial point before self-destruction. With a bang, Darklight King's body turned into ashes, and a black radiance burst out, turning into a black fireball several li in size. Ye Chen's figure was instantly devoured by the black fireball.
"Ye Chen!"
Murong Qingcheng was anxious. She was the only one who hadn't left the area.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Suddenly, Ye Chen's voice entered Murong Qingcheng's ears.
At the center of the black fireball was a bronze Protective Zhen Yuan, firmly protecting Ye Chen's body. The black radiance could only create ripples on its surface, unable to shake it in the slightest. As the energy dissipated, Ye Chen's figure gradually became clear.
"Fortunately, he didn't succeed in double self-destruction. Otherwise, even if I wore bronze armor, I would've been blown into meat paste."
Ye Chen's spirit was somewhat dispirited, and his face was filled with exhaustion.
Double self-detonation was an extremely frightening indiscriminate destruction art. If Darklight King succeeded, his berserk Zhen Yuan and martial will would explode. Not to mention Ye Chen, anyone under Life and Death realm wouldn't be able to withstand it. They would lose control of their own life and death.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Chen used his special ability, the Soul Eye. In the early stages, the Soul Eye could only be used to observe things in a large area. But, as his cultivation increased, and he was now a half step king warrior, the Soul Eye had evolved into the Soul Light.
Soul Light was, in fact, the manifestation of a highly concentrated soul power, possessing an extremely powerful soul attack effect. Under the attack of Ye Chen's Soul Light, the Darklight King's Sea of Soul was pierced, and his consciousness dissipated along with it. Not only that, the Zhen Yuan within his body went berserk without the Darklight King's control. It didn't reach its peak, and was merely equivalent to the most ordinary Zhen Yuan explosion of a half-step King. It couldn't do anything to Ye Chen, who was clad in bronze armor.
Otherwise, the Darklight King's self-destruction would've been enough to cripple Ye Chen even if he didn't die. It was extremely dangerous.
However, after using the soul light for the first time, Ye Chen was not completely unscathed. His soul power had been reduced by more than half. If he wanted to recover to his peak, he would need at least a couple of months. During this period of time, although his battling power would not be affected, it would be impossible for him to use the soul light again. Otherwise, his soul power would be completely used up, and that would be very dangerous.
This was also the reason why Ye Chen's spirit was somewhat dispirited.
"The self-destruction is so weak!"
The fleeing crowd stopped one after another. The Darklight King's double self-destruction was too weak, and the shockwaves couldn't have reached this far. It should've been several dozen li at most.
"No, it doesn't contain any martial will!"
Someone reacted.
"Now that you mention it, it's true. Could this kid have used some method to stop Darklight King's Sea of Soul explosion?" Because everyone was busy fleeing, they didn't notice what had happened. Therefore, none of them saw Ye Chen use Soul Light, and could only guess.
"To be able to stop even the double self-destruction … Bingxin, you don't need to worry about your benefactor anymore. With his strength, those under Life and Death realm that can threaten him are few and far between." Although Yue Lingshuang didn't flee, she still retreated several dozen li. She couldn't stop the Darklight King's double self-destruction, nor did she have the time to save Ye Chen. The only thing she could do was retreat.
Yue Bingxin asked, "Aunty, do you think young master Ye has the qualifications to enter the Life and Death Substitute List?"
Yue Lingshuang stared blankly for a moment before replying, "It's very difficult. The Life and Death Substitute List only records geniuses under the age of fifty, and there are only thirty-six of them. One can well imagine the difficulty of entering it. After all, Elysium is too big, and there are too many geniuses. Moreover, this Life and Death Substitute List doesn't only include humans, but also demonic beasts, sea beasts, half-beasts, demonic humans, and other races. Choosing thirty-six Life and Death Substitute List from all these races … one can well imagine the difficulty."
"But I feel that young master Ye is very strong. Who knows, this might not be his strongest strength." Yue Bingxin had a new understanding of Ye Chen. Therefore, she was certain that he was unfathomable.
"The Darklight King is not a world-shaking genius. Therefore, even though he has reached the second layer of Life-and-Death Chamber, he still lost to your benefactor. As for the Life and Death Substitute List, each and every one of them is a peerless genius. They are all experts who can battle above their realm. I've seen a mid half-step King who defeated a Life and Death Substitute List's second layer Life and Death Chamber. He was only ranked in the twenties. As for the top ten, their cultivation bases are all at the first layer or higher. After several years, there might even be some at the peak of the third layer."
Yue Lingshuang didn't deny Ye Chen. If the scene just now had happened a few years ago, she would have also felt that Ye Chen could enter the Life and Death Substitute List. But now, it was a bit uncertain. After all, they were all world-shaking geniuses. If one could battle above their realm, so could she. At this moment, what mattered was cultivation base.
"Is that so!"
Yue Bingxin didn't expect that entering the Life and Death Substitute List would be so difficult.
"Let's go!"
Seeing Ye Chen kill the Darklight King, Manager He's eyes flickered several times. In the end, he still left with his people. With their strength, they simply couldn't defeat Ye Chen.
As the five left, the others also left, leaving only Huang Mei, Yue Lingshuang, and Yue Bingxin.
"Hehe, after defeating the Darklight King, you're now a 'strongest' half-step King."
Huang Mei walked over and said with a beaming smile.
Shaking off the bloodstains on the Evil Vanquishing Sword, Ye Chen indifferently smiled, "It's just an empty title!" After killing the Darklight King, he indeed had the qualifications to be called a 'strongest' half-step King. However, it was only in Gemstone Islands that he could be considered a 'strongest' half-step King. After all, who knew how many realms one could battle above one's realm?
Therefore, a 'strongest' half-step King's cultivation base was at least at the first layer of Life-and-Death Chamber.
"Young master Ye!"
Yue Bingxin and Yue Lingshuang also walked over.
Ye Chen said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I left in a hurry and forgot to greet you."
"It's fine."
Yue Bingxin smiled, "Is young master Ye really not going to Moonlight Island as a guest?" She then looked at Ye Chen with a hopeful gaze.
"Let's talk about it later!"
Moonlight Island was overseen by a Life and Death King, and Ye Chen wasn't used to visiting someone else's headquarters.
