Chapter 580: Chapter 573: Ye Zhen’s Terrifying Strength

The moment he stepped in, Ye Zhen felt his body lighten and entered a distinctively colored space dominated by black and white tones. At the center of the ground lay a blue moon with hints of white, and above it hung a sun radiating brilliant golden light.

The entire space was engraved with complex inscriptions, which combined with the blue moon on the ground and the fierce sun overhead, exuded a mysterious aura from every corner.

"Is this the Sun and Moon Divine Altar?" Ye Zhen looked around, somewhat puzzled.

Just then, clumps of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to roil and condense within this space. In just two or three breaths’ time, thirty Spirit Power Incarnations, brimming with overwhelming power, materialized.

Each Spirit Power Incarnation radiated Spiritual Power fluctuations exactly like those of a Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist, their only difference being their colors.

There were colors of green wood, red, white, earthy yellow, and water blue, seemingly corresponding to the Five Elements Spiritual Energy within the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Whoosh!

The moment thirty figures appeared, their heads all turned simultaneously; their lifeless eyes fixated on Ye Zhen as thirty waves of powerful Spiritual Power rose at the same time.

All thirty colored figures also attacked Ye Zhen simultaneously!

And in that very moment, Ye Zhen moved!

The Purple Jade Spirit Armor appeared on his body, and the Supreme Treasure Artifact Blood Shadow Spear materialized in Ye Zhen’s hand as he took a step forward, stabbing straightforwardly with the spear in hand.

Thud!

One of the Spirit Power Incarnations popped like a balloon when Ye Zhen poked it, dissipating into the purest Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

"This... is too weak to test my strength..."

Ye Zhen helplessly shook his head and took another step forward, moving towards another rapidly approaching Spirit Power Incarnation. He completely ignored the overwhelming flames and water dragons, the White Sword Gang, and the Earth Spirit Great Palm Seal coming from above, allowing them to crash against his Purple Jade Spirit Armor.

Boom bang hiss!

Explosions continued, but Ye Zhen’s Purple Jade Spirit Armor didn’t budge. To say nothing of the Purple Jade Spirit Armor, even the Red Jade Spirit Armor couldn’t be moved by attacks of such level.

There was no helping it, these Spirit Power Incarnations might have radiated the aura of a Fourth-Stage Soul Sea Realm, but the actual strength of their Spirit Power attacks was about the same as a Third Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist, being mere incarnations after all.

Over a year ago, Ye Zhen was cutting down Second and Third Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists as if slicing vegetables, let alone now.

Inside the first level of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, figures flickered, and popping sounds continued unendingly. After five breaths, the thirty Spirit Power Incarnations that had just condensed were gone.

Almost simultaneously, a staircase brimming with flowing light appeared at the very center of the Divine Altar.

"The entrance to the second layer?"

The next moment, Ye Zhen stepped into the second layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.

The second layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar was actually not much different from the first, except that the inscriptions on the ground and surrounding it were even more complex and mysterious. Upon closer inspection, one could notice that both the moon on the ground and the sun above seemed to be rotating. As the sun and moon rotated, the complex patterns also moved accordingly, seemingly forming an extremely mysterious trajectory.

But when Ye Zhen tried to seriously observe this mysterious trajectory, it felt chaotic and always seemed to be missing something!

Whoosh!

A huge Fire Spirit Handprint imprinted towards Ye Zhen’s chest, while behind him, hundreds of dark green branches wrapped around him like a fishing net.

There were only twenty Spirit Power Incarnations in the second layer, but the strength of these twenty was more than fifty percent greater than those in the first layer.

These twenty Spirit Power Incarnations radiated the aura of Peak Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm, with their Combat Power roughly equivalent to a Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist.

To tell the truth, it was quite strong, of course, only relative to Ye Zhen without a breakthrough in Cultivation! If Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was still at the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, and the Shattered Jade Scripture had not broken through to the Purple Jade Realm, then these twenty Spirit Power Incarnations with Combat Power similar to Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists would indeed pose some trouble, and dealing with them would require Ye Zhen to put in some effort.

But now, it really didn’t matter much!

Surges of purple Spiritual Power flowed around him, turning the dark green vines that had wrapped around him into ash. A small purple seal suddenly flew out from Ye Zhen’s chest towards the five Spirit Power Incarnations charging at him from the opposite side.

"Suppress!"

The moment the word left Ye Zhen’s mouth, the Purple Jade Seal spun swiftly, dazzling with radiant light!

Pop pop pop pop!

Amidst the radiance of the Purple Jade Seal, the five Spirit Power Incarnations directly ahead of Ye Zhen exploded like fireworks one after another.

"Burst!"

Following Ye Zhen’s command, the Purple Jade Seal that had just suppressed its targets turned sharply and rushed into the five Spirit Power Incarnations to his left.

Bang!

A wave of purple Jade Spirit Power burst forth, and the five Spirit Power Incarnations on Ye Zhen’s left also dissipated!

"Absolutely no pressure..."

With two Purple Jade Seals, Ye Zhen took care of the twenty Spiritual Power Incarnations on the second layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar within two breaths’ time.

From the moment he entered the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, not even sixty breaths had passed.

Another staircase, resplendent with flowing light, appeared at the center of the second layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar. However, Ye Zhen did not immediately step onto the third layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Soul.

Ye Zhen felt that there was something extraordinary about the Sun and Moon Divine Altar from the moment he stepped onto it, as if it contained infinite mysteries. Since he was here, he thought it best to explore it a bit.

Ye Zhen attempted to comprehend something!

But after merely dozens of breaths, Ye Zhen gave up!

The moment Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power touched the arcane patterns on the floor and edges, their trajectories chaotically altered, leaving Ye Zhen unable to find any clues.

"I wonder if the Spiritual Power Incarnations on the third layer will be able to test the fruits of my recent advancement in Cultivation," Ye Zhen thought with some regret as he stepped onto the third layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.

The third layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar was slightly smaller than the second, but the moon on the ground and the sun in the sky looked even more vivid. At first glance, they seemed alive. There was a faint light connecting heaven and earth, but just like before, when Ye Zhen looked closely, they immediately turned into inanimate objects, devoid of any spirit nature.

"Is this... the presence of a Vein Forging Realm expert?"

As ten balls of light condensed and spun, Ye Zhen’s expression became slightly more solemn. With his current Cultivation, facing a single Spiritual Power Incarnation with the strength close to a First Stage Vein Forging Realm Martial Artist, Ye Zhen was not the least bit afraid!

However, facing ten such experts, especially when they were skilled in Joint Strike techniques, would require careful handling.

The first to take shape, a Spiritual Power Incarnation emanating the aura of the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, glanced coldly at Ye Zhen. In a flash, more than a hundred shadows burst forth throughout the third layer space, converging upon Ye Zhen from all directions.

The most terrifying part was that each of these hundreds of shadows exuded the same aura.

"Divine Skills! They can actually use Divine Skills?"

In his astonishment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense stirred and immediately sank into the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment. Ye Zhen’s gaze turned cold, and everything before his eyes became clear.

Swoosh!

A Purple Jade-colored finger suddenly emerged from the void and struck one of the illusions in the third layer of the altar with the speed of lightning.

Thump!

The Purple Jade-colored finger pierced straight through the forehead of the Spiritual Power Incarnation, causing all of the illusions to dissipate at once.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened to Ye Zhen.

After dispersing the first successfully condensed Spiritual Power Incarnation, the residual power of Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger was still present. Coincidentally, another Spiritual Power Incarnation exuding the aura of a Vein Forging Realm expert had just taken form in the rear.

And then, it was pierced straight through by the residual force of Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger, dissipating on the spot!

Seeing this, the slight excitement and anticipation that had just risen in Ye Zhen disappeared.

There was no challenge at all!

Ye Zhen had originally thought that the Spiritual Power Incarnations on the third layer, which exude the aura of the Vein Forging Realm, might be able to test his true combat power. But in reality, it didn’t suffice.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen’s Floating Jade Finger, formed from Purple Spirit Jade, wouldn’t have obliterated two Spiritual Power Incarnations in one strike, and this was without the addition of the Purple Spirit from Sword Heart Enlightenment.

However, when you think about it, although these Spiritual Power Incarnations exude the aura of First Stage Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists, their actual combat power was only slightly stronger than a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, somewhere between the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm and the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm.

To take down the eight remaining Vein Forging Realm First Stage Spiritual Power Incarnations, Ye Zhen didn’t even need sixty breaths’ time; he effortlessly eliminated them one by one, almost without breaking a sweat.

However, despite how easy it was, it also gave Ye Zhen a rough understanding of his current strength, although it didn’t test his true combat power.

Ye Zhen felt that if it had been a few months earlier, facing these ten Vein Forging Realm Spiritual Power Incarnations, he would have been in great trouble.

But now, it was too easy.

In other words, Ye Zhen’s strength had indeed improved significantly, especially since the Shattered Jade Scripture advanced from the Red Jade Realm to the Purple Jade Realm. This level of improvement was substantial, so much so that Ye Zhen believed that the descriptions in the Shattered Jade Scripture were not at all exaggerated.

"If the Purple Jade Realm is this powerful, what would the final Shattered Jade Realm be like?" Ye Zhen suddenly felt some anticipation!

Moreover, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation had also advanced from the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the Late Stage of the Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, not far from the Fourth Stage. Compared to before, his Spiritual Power had nearly tripled, and assisted by the Spiritual Power of the Soul Refining Secret Spirit, it was even more condensed.

When all these improvements combined, the terrifying advancement of Ye Zhen’s strength was naturally expected.

At the moment of Ye Zhen’s anticipation, an extremely powerful compressive force abruptly came from all directions, pressing towards Ye Zhen, seemingly ready to force him out of the third layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.

"Is it time to leave already?" Ye Zhen felt somewhat helpless but had no choice but to be manipulated.

Just when Ye Zhen felt he was being squeezed out, he instinctively looked back, and his expression turned to one of extreme astonishment; for in that instant of being pushed out, he saw a completely different third layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.

Meanwhile, inside the Moonlight Hall Martial Arts Arena, Tian Guizhang and Yao Sen were in a heated quarrel!
