Chapter 471: Chapter 422: Restraint

Ye Chen sighed softly, finally back to reality, looking at the flowing time-space, he felt that everything on the River of Time seemed like a dream, so unreal.

But he knew it was all real because his perception wouldn’t lie; the Tenth Layer of Divine Halos inside him also appeared much clearer, ambiguously emerging as if he could step into the final half step to the Supreme Realm of the Ten-layered Heaven Level at any moment.

Now, he could feel himself becoming stronger, although he hadn’t completely transformed into the Ten-layered Heaven, he still felt a lot more powerful.

With just a slight movement, his limbs and bones, every part of his body, resounded wrongly as if loud as morning bells and evening drums, accompanied by the roaring of bright, reddish-gold Blood Qi, repeatedly washing through his meridians, continuously strengthening his blood, shaking the earth, making the whole land tremble along with it.

Zhao Tianyi’s face showed shock; he could feel Ye Chen’s strength. Despite him being just a youth, he gave off a terrifying oppressive force like a Primordial Beast breaking out from its cage in the Ancient Times, the thunderous roar inside resonating enough to almost make him cough up blood from the pressure.

The two Demon Beings, trapped in the void, shattered completely, their countless black scales cracking, spilling dark blood freely.

"This is..."

Zhao Tianyi was shocked, astounded by just how powerful Ye Chen was, feeling even greater than a King-level being.

A moment later, the roaring sounds inside Ye Chen subsided, his eyes calm yet infinitely deep—like an abyss, enough to make one’s soul fall deeply and uncontrollably.

"Elder Yan, did you just notice that?" Ye Chen suddenly asked.

"What did you notice?" Elder Yan curiously inquired.

Ye Chen hesitated, then shook his head, choosing not to explain further.

With a soft thud, Ye Chen flicked his fingers, and two finger radiance pierced through their foreheads, annihilating the Primordial Spirits, the blood-red eyes completely dimming, collapsing dead.

Zhao Tianyi then came to his senses, looking perturbed, "Brother Ye, were you able to find out any useful information?"

Ye Chen nodded but his expression was grave because the information was too vital, unspeakable, a secret.

Moreover, he sensed a future soaked in blood, a great collapse of the world, like the great destruction of the Mythical Era, and even more terrifying.

He also saw a future where he was the unchallenged supreme, yet the world was silent around him, nothing left beside him, his wife and friends, all acquainted souls gone, buried and memorialized merely by tombstones, leaving him alone to accompany the Divine Dao, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted and sorrowful.

He resolved fiercely in his heart to change this status, to prevent such disastrous future occurrences.

Zhao Tianyi felt Ye Chen’s heavy mood, though curious about what exactly happened, he did not ask.

At the same time, he suddenly turned pale because he sensed many evil presences rapidly approaching, the sound of breaking through the air incessant. Out of the fog, over thirty Demon Beings swiftly approached like lightning, each equally horrific and menacing, lunging forward.

It was known that each of these Demon Beings was at the Demigod Realm level and could merge with the fog to disappear, ambushing many young talents unawares and taking their lives.

Now, with over thirty charging together, it was truly terrifying.

Even with a King-level being by his side, Zhao Tianyi felt a deadly danger emerging.

He let out a long cry, from his mouth burst forth Innate Milky White Gang Qi, unleashing Divinity Transformation Realm level Divine Power, transforming into thousands of Sword Radiance, streaking through the fog and slashing towards the Demon Beings, creating a continuous clanging sound.

Yet those Demon Beings, each clad in pitch-black hard scales as if wearing a layer of Battle Armor, Zhao Tianyi’s attacks could hinder them, but struggled to kill them effectively, still charging forward.

With a swift motion, a monstrous and evil figure lightning-fast surged forward, its dire black scaled claw grasping a trident blade, seeming even stronger and more demonic than the others, with wings sprouting on its back, indeed a Divinity Transformation Realm great Demon, towering a zhang tall.

Zhao Tianyi felt like he was facing a great enemy, his whole demeanor turning significantly solemn, with a long cry, he deployed a powerful Divine Power, a Divine Mirror appeared, its surface mysterious, inscribed with vague yet powerful Dao Patterns.

The Divine Mirror clinked, its entire body blazing brilliantly, all Dao Patterns becoming clearly visible, hovering above Zhao Tianyi’s head, like an Immortal Ancient Weapon, fiercely emanating a searing Divine Light, instantly piercing through a vast expanse of fog, revealing clarity, and additionally slashing towards the Divinity Transformation Realm great Demon, engaging it in fierce combat.

It must be said that Zhao Tianyi himself was also very strong, capable of standing out from many young elites, securing one of a thousand places, and he had already achieved the Divinity Transformation Realm, being inherently powerful, simply overshadowed by the matchless Ye Chen.

In fact, Ye Chen hailed from the Zhao Country within the Immortal Empire. Despite being dethroned from the Prince’s position, he was once a member of the royal family, and he also wielded the powerful immortal inheritance Divine Arts. In a flash, he conjured eighteen massive mountains out of thin air. Towering into the clouds, they crushed the sky and advanced, killing countless demon beings along the way, staining the ancient city area with blood.

In the Divinity Transformation Realm, a great demon roared and howled, even screamed; corrosive demon fog rolled as it engaged Zhao Tianyi in fierce battle. Divine Light clashed with Demon Light constantly, shaking the ancient city area and even drawing the attention of many onlookers.

Swoosh—

The Divine Mirror spanned the sky, casting a blazing beam of Divine Light that pierced through the air and penetrated the abdomen of the terrifying great demon. Not even its dark scales could defend; even the flesh at the wound was charred, and no dark blood flowed out.

Other demons from the Demigod Realm tried to assist, but Ye Chen made his move. In that moment, he charged forward, a single man radiating an overwhelming surge of energy, rolling forward and directly blasting those demon beings one after another into the air.

"Brother Zhao, focus on this alien demon. I’ll handle the others," Ye Chen said.

"Got it," replied Zhao Tianyi, thrilled in the heat of battle. Although he had not yet reached the King Level, he was undeniably a formidable young talent. Manipulating handprints, the Divine Mirror appeared above his head with two Divine Wheels materializing below his feet, one black and one white—Zhao Country’s Black and White Divine Wheel Technique, inherited from Ancient Times, one of the country’s powerful Divine Skills.

As the Black and White Divine Wheels emerged, they also evolved into the Power of Darkness and Light Power. Spinning opposite each other, transforming Yin and Yang, they seemed to morph into a Black and White Tai Chi Diagram that smashed into the great demon from the Divinity Transformation Realm, immediately exploding it so its dark scales completely shattered, skin ripped, and blood splattered.

Finally, the Divine Mirror shone brightly, Dao Patterns emerged, and it cast beams of ultra-intense Divine Light ceaselessly, striking down upon the great demon until it was thoroughly slain; its blood splattered the sky, corroding many stones into perforation.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Simultaneously, Ye Chen swiftly flicked out one finger radiance after another, piercing through the void with extreme speed, easily penetrating the foreheads of the demon beings, directly slaying them.

Soon, over thirty demon beings lay dead on the ground, unable to move a muscle.

Everything seemed unbelievably easy.

"Let’s go," said Ye Chen.

Indeed, killing demon beings was not difficult; it was just because the fog obscured their figures, making it impossible to lock onto them, hence making them hard to kill. Once the fog cleared, it seemed much simpler.

Along the way, although the duo was continuously attacked by demon beings, they remained unharmed, and Zhao Tianyi eventually adapted to the environment of the foggy area, no longer relying solely on Ye Chen, and could also strike down demon beings himself.

The deeper they ventured into the ancient city area, the denser the drifting fog became. Despite possessing strong Divine Sense, they could not see further than ten meters; everything was shrouded and obscured.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

Within the fog, one could faintly see black shadows flashing and bursting like lightning across the sky—these were the terrible demon beings, now emerging in significant numbers.

Boom—

Suddenly, Ye Chen radiated endless Light Radiance. A torrential Holy Light surged, continuous like an ocean engulfing all directions, dispersing thick fog and covering every demon being in the area.

Visibly, these demon beings were clearly potent and quick as lightning, but in the next moment, they all screamed as the black fog around them rapidly evaporated and, along with their bodies, swiftly disintegrated in the Holy Light.

Plop, plop, plop—

One after another, charred corpses fell from the sky, and in an instant, all the alien demon beings perished.

Zhao Tianyi gaped. He already knew Ye Chen was extremely strong but had not imagined him to be monstrously powerful, instantly killing hundreds of demon beings. It was almost excessively powerful.

Ye Chen explained, "These demon beings possess a cold, wicked nature; the best way to deal with them is to use Holy Light Technique, an upright and bright Divine Power spell, to counteract their nature effectively, hence achieving remarkable results."

Zhao Tianyi gave a bitter smile, acknowledging the simplicity of the theory but knowing the difficulty in practice.

Everyone knows that light and darkness oppose each other, but to suppress the other, one must be strong enough; otherwise, neither can affect the other. In Ye Chen’s case, it was purely an overwhelming advantage that left him speechless.

However, because of this, Ye Chen also attracted the attention of other young powerhouses, who all hurried over. Witnessing the black charred corpses on the ground, they stared agape, hardly able to believe their eyes.

For Ye Chen, they now showed much more reverence, recognizing him as a terrifying figure at the King Level.
