Chapter 3123: Chapter 3897: Tianji Daoist’s Unexpected Move (Second Update)

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered. If he were to release the Ling Xiao Martial Intent, his identity would be instantly exposed, his aura immediately captured by the Heavenly Dao Palace with no chance of escape.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Streams of Emperor’s Sword Energy continuously slashed towards him.

Ye Chen gritted his teeth, directly using his physical body to forcibly withstand the martial pressure of the Tiandu Emperor. As he faced the incoming sword qi, he brought his fingers together, waving them like a sword dance, or as if painting a landscape, shattering the sword qi one by one.

Fortunately, his physical body was robust, able to barely withstand the assault. Had it been anyone else under such overwhelming martial pressure, they would have been injured long ago.

"Oh, to block the pressure of the Tiandu Emperor simply with his physical body."

"Who exactly is this person? Could he truly be from the Upper Realm Venerate Clan?"

"Such a powerful physical body, able to withstand even the pressure of the divine emperor, is simply unbelievable!"

The people around, watching Ye Chen not release any Martial Intent, were instantly shocked.

Even the little Daoist child outside was taken aback, muttering in secret, "This young man is so powerful, why does he conceal his face? Could it be that his identity is truly special?"

No one could guess Ye Chen’s identity. After all, for someone merely in the Chaos Realm to have defeated the Golden-eyed Barbaric Bull in one move, and now to rely solely on his physical strength to withstand the divine emperor’s pressure—such heaven-defying methods likely do not belong to someone within the Divine Kingdom, but rather the Upper Realm Venerate Clan.

Finally, an incense stick worth of time passed.

Only twelve or thirteen people could endure it, while everyone else could not withstand it and had been forced to retreat early under the crushing Martial Arts Emperor Intent of the Tiandu Emperor.

Among those twelve or thirteen, quite a few were injured by the Emperor Energy Flying Swords, their bodies covered in blood, and even Ye Chen suffered some superficial injuries.

"Congratulations to all for passing the second test."

The little Daoist child came over, clasping his hands in greeting.

Despite passing the test, the crowd showed no signs of joy.

Because now, they were injured, and some were so severely wounded that bones were visible. In such a state, passing the final test would be incredibly difficult.

"There is still one final test."

The little Daoist child seemed to sense the crowd’s concerns and said, "There’s no need for worry; the last test focuses on the strength of the divine soul, and injuries won’t affect the outcome."

"A test of the divine soul? Then I’m relieved."

Hearing the little Daoist child’s words, the crowd immediately felt relieved.

Physical injuries wouldn’t affect the divine soul, and since the test was of divine soul strength, injuries didn’t matter to the crowd.

"Please follow me, everyone."

The little Daoist child led the way, and after the crowd quickly tended to their injuries, they followed along.

Ye Chen mingled with the crowd and followed, glancing back at the Tiandu Emperor’s corpse puppet, which stood there like a wooden statue, arms hanging down.

"The power of the Karma from an Ancient Great Emperor was already that formidable; how terrifying must their true forms be?"

Ye Chen felt a pang of awe in his heart, but quickly collected his thoughts, discarding distracting ideas, and prepared for the third test.

Soon, the group, following the little Daoist child, reached the mountaintop.

The peak was lofty, overlooking the land, offering breathtaking views. The morning breeze was refreshing, invigorating everyone.

But on the mountaintop stood an ancient Daoist temple.

The doors of the temple were tightly shut, with not a single breath seeping out, cloaked in mystical depth.

"Tianji Daoist must be residing inside."

Ye Chen looked at the Daoist temple before him, thinking to himself, unable to suppress a bit of excitement.

The crowd also showed excitement in their eyes.

Passing the final test meant entering the Daoist temple, meeting the Tianji Daoist, and inquiring about various karmic destinies, or possibly even defying destiny.

"I wonder what the specifics of the final test are?"

Someone asked.

The little Daoist child waved his hand and summoned an Eight Trigrams Mirror.

Wisps of clear light emanated from the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

"This Innate Trigrams Mirror exerts tremendous divine soul pressure. All you have to do is endure its aura for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and you’ll pass the test."

The little Daoist child spoke, waving his hand to set the Innate Trigrams Mirror spinning into the air, instantly enlarging it. It transformed into an enormous mirror, with the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams, Innate Destiny, Fengshui Tribulation, Qi Fortune and Blessings, and other mystical energies swirling through the mirror light.

"This Eight Trigrams Mirror carries a breath of the Outer Realm!"

Ye Chen’s heart trembled. He faintly sensed a hint of the Outer Realm from the Innate Trigrams Mirror.

It’s a magic treasure from the Outer Realm!

Tianji Daoist must have visited the Outer Realm!

Swoosh.

The vast mirror light swept like a tide, enveloping everyone.

Instantly, all felt tremendous divine soul pressure.

This mirror light seemed to possess a soul-suppressing effect, capable of shaking one’s divine soul.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen subtly shuddered, also feeling the impact of the mirror light, as if hammers were relentlessly pounding his mind.

He quickly steadied his thoughts, sitting cross-legged and resisting the pressure of the mirror light.

The surrounding martial artists also sat cross-legged, each circulating energy and deploying their magic treasures to resist.

Pfft!

But the divine soul impact of the Innate Trigrams Mirror was too intense, and someone immediately spat out blood, about to be knocked unconscious, helplessly withdrawing.

"Be careful, everyone. This Innate Trigrams Mirror is also called the Azure Dragon Soul Stabilizing Mirror, one of the Four Symbols Secret Treasures, with immense soul impact strength."

The little Daoist child calmly said.

As he spoke, the mirror light fluctuated, transforming into an azure dragon that roared and writhed, releasing even more terrifying divine soul pressure.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

In an instant, several more people spat blood and were forced to retreat in embarrassment.

"Four Symbols Secret Treasures? I wonder what they are."

Ye Chen was secretly puzzled.

"The Four Symbols Secret Treasures are four ambassador treasures famous in the Outer Realm—Azure Dragon Soul Stabilizing Mirror, White Tiger Soul-cutting Saber, Vermilion Bird Flying Cloud Hairpin, Xuanwu Sky-opening Axe, each with heaven-defying Divine Might. You must be cautious."

Unexpectedly, the voice of Sword Soul Xuan Immortal came from the Slaughter Sword.

"Oh? This mirror is indeed an object of the Outer Realm!"

"Tianji Daoist’s connection to the Outer Realm isn’t just as simple as having visited it."

"No wonder Xuanyuan Moxie holds him in such high regard."

Ye Chen’s heart trembled. No wonder he detected a breath of the Outer Realm, for this Azure Dragon Soul Stabilizing Mirror truly originates from the Outer Realm as a magic treasure.

Rumble!

The roaring mirror light became increasingly fierce, surprisingly erupting with the sound of thunderbolts, continuously pressing down.

Ye Chen’s body swayed, his divine soul bearing immense pressure, almost on the verge of losing consciousness.

Swoosh.

In the critical moment, divine light bloomed between his brows. The world evolved by the Chaos Star Tree continuously unleashed overwhelming energies, guarding his divine soul and enduring the impact of the Azure Dragon Soul Stabilizing Mirror.

"Hmm?"

From within the temple, a voice of uncertain surprise faintly transmitted, seemingly sensing something from the hidden Tianji Daoist living deep inside.
