Chapter 430 - 383: Terrifying Military Merit!

Chapter 430: Chapter 383: Terrifying Military Merit!

Ye Chen was furious. He could no longer care that his identity might be exposed. His black robe rustled loudly, and with one step, he appeared directly in front of Luo Jun.

"What a tough guy. I was just wondering how to deal with you, and here you show up in front of me looking for death. That’s rare, rest assured you can die in peace."

Luo Jun sneered venomously, his hand pulsing with the Luotian Divine Wheel as he struck out, unleashing layer upon layer of Divine Light and Dao Traces, bombarding forward, shaking the entire Military Merit Hall to its core.

Such a strike would have turned even a regular Divinity Transformation Realm expert to ash, never to exist again.

But alas, his opponent was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s face was unwavering as he struck out with his palm, as if an immortal Heavenly Stele, his fingers and palm overflowed with interwoven Dao Traces, directly clashing hard against the Luotian Treasure Wheel.

"Seeking death, you actually dare to directly confront my father’s Luotian Treasure Wheel." Luo Jun sneered coldly.

Boom—

After a loud noise, Ye Chen, who everyone expected to be shattered to pieces, was completely unharmed, while the Luotian Treasure Wheel was knocked flying. The recovered Principle Divine Traces were all ground away, everything rendered to naught.

This scene deeply shocked everyone present, disbelieving!

"Impossible!" Luo Jun’s expression dramatically changed. Even though he knew Ye Chen might be a formidable character, he had endless confidence in the Luotian Treasure Wheel his father had entrusted him with.

This was nearly a Half-Saint Artifact, a Super Daoist Weapon that had been nourished with the treasure blood of numerous Super Experts, possessed demonic power, and was almost deemed the number one Daoist Weapon below the Semi-Saints. He could not believe that anyone under the Semi-Saints could withstand the Luotian Treasure Wheel.

But dreams are pleasant, and reality is cruel. He had encountered a fierce character, and not just any fierce character.

"Run!"

This was the first thought in Luo Jun’s mind. Without further ado, he fled, not even bothering to retrieve the Luotian Treasure Wheel. As long as he returned to his father’s camp, everything would be safe.

"Do you think you can escape?"

A detached voice sounded in his ear, and suddenly, to his horror, the black-robed figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Swoosh—

Ye Chen stepped forward, grabbing Luo Jun’s neck and immobilizing his body, holding him like a chicken and declaring, "I said I would kill you today."

"No, you can’t kill me. My father is Luo Tianxiong, the commander of the Third Great Army. If you kill me, my father will surely kill you."

Facing the end, Luo Jun couldn’t help but threaten Ye Chen, bringing up his powerful father.

Though his face was concealed, the cold light in his eyes clearly projected, icily saying, "Such big words. Do you truly think your father is omnipotent? Unfortunately, that holds no weight before me."

Puff—

A spurt of blood flashed, and Ye Chen’s finger tapped, causing Luo Jun’s leg to explode into a mess of flesh and bone, causing him to scream in agony, the sound mournful and piercing.

Ye Chen didn’t kill Luo Jun immediately, but instead inflicted pain bit by bit, making him feel the terror of death.

He pointed again, and Luo Jun’s arm and other leg both exploded, blood splattered everywhere, a shocking and harrowing sight. Luo Jun screamed even louder, the sound incredibly lonesome.

This scene, much to many peoples’ satisfaction, was because Luo Jun was too infuriating, and he deserved such an end; many declared it was only what he deserved.

"Stop! This is the Military Merit Hall, you cannot strike here."

Suddenly a voice exploded, halting Ye Chen. An elder emerged from within the hall, his brows containing great dignity, draped in a long robe, with an aura vast and powerful, naturally exuding a compelling authority that made people tremble.

He was the Seventh Elder of the Military Merit Hall, Li Wushan, secretly on good terms with Luo Tianxiong and holding considerable power.

Initially, when Luo Jun struck in the Military Merit Hall, he had turned a blind eye, pretending he saw nothing. But now, seeing Luo Jun face a fearsome opponent and on the brink of being killed, he had no choice but to step in.

"I don’t care who you are. Today, you dared to strike in the Military Merit Hall, challenging its authority. Surrender immediately, admit your guilt obediently, and you may receive a lighter punishment."

"What about him?" Ye Chen pointed at Luo Jun. "He struck out just now, witnessed by so many, and even blasted open the Military Merit Hall’s door."

The Seventh Elder’s expression turned cold as he said icily, "What about blasting open the Military Merit Hall’s door? I certainly did not see Luo Jun strike out; I only saw you committing violence alone from start to finish."

This statement made many dare to rage but not speak. As expected, the Seventh Elder was in cahoots with Luo Tianxiong.

Ye Chen chuckled coldly, "What a fine Military Merit Hall elder, truly impressive. When he attacked me earlier, I didn’t see you appear. Now that I have subdued him and am close to killing him, you show up and only accuse me of wrongdoing, not him. You really are unfit to be an elder, aren’t you?"

The Seventh Elder’s expression grew colder, "Who do you think you are to question whether I am partial or not? Moreover, Luo Jun came to exchange Military Merit, he has more than ten thousand points. Do you have any?"

"Over ten thousand points?"

Ye Chen laughed, but his laughter was ice cold. He raised his hand and threw his Military Merit Token onto the Divine Platform. Following that, the token immediately burst forth with endless Divine Light, illuminating every corner of the Military Merit Hall.

Among it, a dazzling Divine Light Column slammed into the Heavenly Dome’s light curtain with a thunderous roar, drawing everyone’s attention.

"This is!"

Everyone was dumbstruck. What kind of military achievement had been made for the Divine Light Column to appear, nearly shattering the test light curtain?

The Seventh Elder’s expression changed again and again. He knew he might have encountered an extremely terrifying figure.

At the same time, as the black robe fell away, a young and heroic figure emerged before everyone’s eyes. With his black hair cascading down, his eyebrows sharp as swords, his eyes bright as stars, and his posture tall and straight.

The young man’s handsome and stern face appeared, and his profound eyes like bottomless pits seemed to reveal a terrifying vision of stars being destroyed, instantly causing many people to exclaim—

"Great Demon King, Yue!"

It was unclear who said this, but no one cared, because at this moment, the entire place was in shock, with all eyes focused on that tall, young figure.

Great Demon King, Yue!

He was the very first legendary figure of the new generation, a young True King who had obliterated the Heavenly Dragon Army on the Domain Battlefield, swept away four young kings, and eradicated the Four Domains Army and the Forbidden Army of Red God Valley.

Five Great Saints wielding Saint Lord Level Daoist Weapons had come to kill him, but all were slain, as he seized the Saint Lord Level Daoist Weapons. Moreover, under the escort of the Fourth Great Bandit Wang Ming, he left the Domain Battlefield and returned to his camp unscathed.

All this cloaked him in a layer of mysterious and rich legendary aura.

There stood Ye Chen, his black hair loose, like a Divine Mountain spanning the horizon, his body muscular and statuesque, masculine and powerful, his body radiating Immortal Radiance, and he seemed poised to transcend above the common masses with a supreme demeanor, resembling an Immortal King.

Inside him, his Blood Qi roared like a Supreme Emperor in hibernation. His bloodline power was terrifyingly boundless, deafening, making people tremble.

He was merely standing there, yet he had captured the gaze of everyone present. At this moment, his outstanding presence was the focus of all eyes.

It could be said that no one knew of his arrival, or thought he would be so low key, concealing his aura, donning a black robe to exchange for military merit, and even quietly queuing for half an hour.

To many soldiers, Ye Chen was undeniably a respectable figure, not fearing authority nor exerting it.

"The Great Demon King Yue, is it really him?"

The Seventh Elder’s face changed color. He had never expected the man in the black robe to be the infamous Great Demon King, a taboo figure, a new generation’s Immortal True King, undefeated against the four kings, whose name resounded across the Five Great Domains after causing the complete annihilation of their armies, and the downfall of five Saints.

Now, the Seventh Elder had the urge to kill Luo Jun. If he had known earlier that the black-robed man was Ye Chen, he would never have allowed Luo Jun to do as he pleased.

Luo Jun also felt a suicidal regret, as he had never imagined that the person he had casually provoked would be the notorious Great Demon King Yue.

Upon the Divine Platform, the Military Merit Token shone with a bright Divine Light, and an alarming number appeared on the light curtain—

Nine hundred fifty-six thousand seven hundred and twenty-nine!

This was the military merit that Ye Chen had acquired on the Domain Battlefield, an astronomical figure, reaching a staggering nine million, unprecedented, even many Saints had never possessed such a colossal amount of military merit.

Ye Chen had slain five Great Saints alone, each Saint worth a million military merit points.

The Heavenly Dragon Army was a Heavenly Level Army, and naturally, their points could not be calculated the same as regular soldiers. The armies of the Four Domains were at least Mystic-level Armies, and the Red God Army almost surpassed the Heavenly Level Army.

Add to that the battle at the Bloodstained Mountain Range, being besieged by many powerful beings, and so on, the military merit accrued was horrifyingly reaching over nine million.

Seeing this terrifyingly astonishing figure, everyone couldn’t help but swallow hard. With such immense military merit, perhaps even a few of the most important Heavenly Treasures in the Heavenly Level region could be exchanged for it.

The fearsome Sky Light broke through the Military Merit Hall, piercing into the ninth heaven, its glow blossoming, illuminating heaven and earth, stirring the entire camp of the Qingyang Domain, drawing the attention of countless people.

"That’s... the Military Merit Hall!"

Even the high echelons on the Floating Divine Island of the highest commander were alarmed, and their expressions greatly changed when they looked at the thick column of light.

"Who could it be, to have gained such high military merit? One needs at least a million military merit points to condense a Divine Light Column that reaches the sky. And this column is clearly many times thicker, not just a mere million, but at least seven or eight million military merit points!"

"Quick, go see who it is?"

On the Floating Divine Island, a multitude of powerful figures hurriedly flew toward the Military Merit Hall. Such a strong concentration of military merit formed into a column was, even in the history of the Domain Battles, absolutely rare.

Basically, anyone with such a terrifying military merit was a top commander at the level of a Saint Lord.

Could it be that a Saint Lord was also claiming military merit and choosing a treasure?
