Chapter 115: Chapter 105: Outer Heaven Great Demon (1st Update)

Divine standoff!

Faced with the vast and unending divine pressure like a tempest from the Hongtian Great Saint, Ye Chen simply smiled slightly, his black robe fluttering without wind, releasing a godly pressure that was no less than the opponent’s, confronting it.

Crack—

As the two boundless divine pressures collided, even the stable void was torn asunder, creating massive pitch-black fissures in space, horrifyingly gaping like ferocious black maws that devoured flesh and living beings.

This was the true power of a Divine Spirit Realm being; the mere clash of their divine pressures was enough to tear and shatter space, which even the Martial God couldn’t disturb.

If a real battle ensued, it was unpredictable how much more intense it could get.

Feeling the opponent’s divine pressure that was no less than his own, the Hongtian Great Saint trembled violently, finally regaining some composure from the excitement of regaining his strength, and stared deeply at the man in the black robe.

This mysterious man in the black robe had been inscrutable from the beginning—whether it was the time he restored his peak Divine-level power, he remained undisturbed like a deep, tranquil spring, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Either one is so frightened that they lose all sense, or one possesses absolute power, absolute confidence, fearing nothing.

And the black-robed man before him was undoubtedly the latter.

After the scenes of his encounters with the black-robed man flashed through his mind, a great wariness rose in his heart.

This mysterious black-robed man had an extraordinary origin; he knew absolutely nothing about him, but the other party seemed to understand him very deeply. Furthermore, the Tongtian tactics he had shown before, his composure now, everything he showed made him unfathomable, shrouded in a veil of mystery, impenetrable to the eye.

The imposing divine pressure withdrew like the tide, as if it had never occurred, and the Hongtian Great Saint rose to his full height, landing on the ground to meet Ye Chen eye to eye.

His expression eventually softened, with a light chuckle he said, "Fellow Daoist, I think you may have misunderstood me. I had just recovered and couldn’t completely control my aura. My apologies for the offense just now, please forgive me."

"Is that so? It’s a pity," Ye Chen’s tone conveyed regret, "I had also intended to experience the power of the other Divine beings besides myself. But now, it seems the opportunity is nearly gone."

As he spoke, he let out a soft sigh as if he truly regretted, causing one’s heart to throb.

The Hongtian Great Saint’s brows twitched twice at Ye Chen’s nonchalant words, forcing a laugh, but the apprehension in his heart grew even deeper.

He believed that this mysterious man in the black robe would not say such words without reason.

Later, as if by chance, Ye Chen subtly reminded him, "Hongtian Great Saint, although you have restored your Divine Spirit Realm cultivation and can certainly dominate the entire Tiandu Continent, there is one thing you must remember: I have only suppressed your Dao injury temporarily. Without that specific Divine Pill, your injury will erupt within five years."

"And such an eruption will be even more violent than before due to the excessive suppression. Once it rebounds, I fear that even as a Divine being, you might be reduced to ashes in an instant."

Hongtian Great Saint’s heart pounded severely at Ye Chen’s light and breezy words, filled with shock.

He knew deeply that this was probably Ye Chen’s warning to him not to have any different intentions towards him. Without his intervention, he would only have five years left to live.

This was also a form of restraint and threat on his part, a message that if he wanted to survive, he couldn’t do so without the other’s help.

Pausing for a moment, the Hongtian Great Saint’s face broke into a wide smile, and he chuckled, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist. I will keep it in mind."

Ye Chen just chuckled in response. Without the threat and deterrence, the Hongtian Great Saint might lift a finger to crush him the moment he regained his strength,

probably angered that Ye Chen had dared to demand conditions from a Divine being like him.

Although Ye Chen had Elder Yan’s protection and feared no opponent, he always made the fullest preparations. The Saint King Sealing Heaven Technique was a forbidden technique he had created himself, and no one in this world knew it better than he did.

If Hongtian Great Saint were to truly harbor malice, Ye Chen would not hesitate to unlock this seal and make him deeply regret provoking him.

This was also one of his means against the Hongtian Great Saint, a hidden card up his sleeve, one he would not use unless absolutely necessary.

In the end, Ye Chen flicked out a stream of light, which the Hongtian Great Saint caught effortlessly—a Memory Jade. Ye Chen said, "This is the pill formula capable of healing your Dao injury. As long as you gather all the Medicinal Materials, I will refine the Divine Pill for you, completely healing the Dao injury and restoring your full Divine fighting strength."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured that I will find all the medicinal materials you require."

Hongtian Great Saint readily agreed, then his Divine Thought swiftly scoured the Memory Jade, "Six thousand years old Netherworld Grass, five thousand five hundred years old Earth Soul Fruit, eight thousand years old Heavenly Blood Lotus, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years old Sky-reaching Flower..."

One by one, the names of medicinal materials rapidly surfaced in his mind, yet with each plant he encountered, Hongtian Great Saint could not help but be astonished, and after reviewing them all, even as a Supreme Divine, his expression involuntarily changed.

For the Memory Jade recorded each of these herbs as truly precious and invaluable.

Though these medicinal materials were indeed rare and considered Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, glancing across the vast Vast Continent, they were not few in number. However, what truly furrowed his brow was their age, each easily surpassing thousands of years.

You must understand that Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, stirring people’s hearts with their miraculous effects, any one of them could sell for a fortune, often harvested by men or Demon Beasts before they reached a thousand years in age. Rarely do they exist for several millennia, let alone eight or nine thousand years – an age not even Divine beings can endure.

Hence, the older their age, the more precious and priceless these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures become.

Even more so when at last he saw the name of a ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, he could not help but bitterly smile. This was no longer just a matter of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but rather a ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure. Merely consuming it could extend one’s lifespan by more than three hundred years – a treasure beyond price, enough to make any Divine being green with envy and desperation.

Such ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures are not things ordinary people, even Divine beings, could easily possess.

This mysterious man in the black robe had really posed a difficult problem for himself. It seemed that curing his Dao injury would indeed be challenging.

Hongtian Great Saint could not help but raise this issue, asking, "Fellow Daoist, is there no other Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could replace this ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure?"

Ye Chen gave an indifferent smile. Although the pill formula contained Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could heal Hongtian Great Saint’s Dao injury, it did not include this ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, which was just an additional condition he had imposed, necessitated by his own needs.

Of course, this was not something he could tell Hongtian Great Saint. He simply said, "This is none of my concern. I am only responsible for the prescription and Alchemy. Whether you wish to fully heal your Dao injury is your affair."

Seeing this, Hongtian Great Saint had no choice but to sigh with resignation.

Ye Chen spoke, "Well, since the Dao injury on your body has been suppressed, I would also like to know how you came to sustain such an injury. I can tell that this is no ordinary Dao injury – it must have been inflicted by at least a Divine being, and you were subjected to a vicious curse power, leading to your current plight."

"This power is quite strange, unlike any I’ve seen on the Tiandu Continent. And considering the Heaven Punishment plan, other Divine beings should not have attacked you. If I’m not mistaken, it must have been the Outer Heaven Great Demon you suppressed beneath Hongtian Divine Mountain that caused you such harm."

Hongtian Great Saint’s pupils contracted as he looked deeply at Ye Chen for a moment, then could only give a bitter smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you are truly extraordinary to have noticed this, impressive indeed!"

Immediately, a complex expression appeared on his face for the first time as he nodded and said, "If Fellow Daoist does not mind, then let me show you the culprit responsible for my Dao injury – the Outer Heaven Great Demon!"

The Outer Heaven Great Demons referred to those races that overlooked the Tiandu Continent.

Both Ye Chen and Elder Yan were curious about these Outer Heaven Great Demons and of greater importance; when Ye Chen heard about these races overseeing the Tiandu Continent, his heart already had some speculations.

Now was the time to confirm those speculations.

Boom—

Hongtian Great Saint waved his hand, opening up the Divine Platform upon which he had been sitting, revealing a mysterious passage shrouded in darkness. This was the path leading to the core of Hongtian Divine Mountain, and it was also through this that Hongtian Great Saint continued to suppress the Outer Heaven Great Demon beneath the mountain.

Upon entering the passage, in just an instant, they arrived in a vast cavern.

The cavern was a hundred zhang high, yet it was quite empty inside, save for an ancient altar at the center which spanned a full thirty zhang in diameter and was inscribed with dense marks of the ages.

Of course, all this was not the focal point; what most caught Ye Chen’s attention was on the ancient altar, the world-shaking Divine being whose formidable presence radiated, pinned down and immobilized by five Divine Swords –

The Outer Heaven Great Demon!

Upon seeing this Outer Heaven Great Demon, Ye Chen slowly drew in a cold breath and finally confirmed his suspicion.

Indeed, as he thought!
