Primordial Star Scripture
Chapter 1003 - 953 Counterattack!

At this moment, the "black nine-mystery silk" didn't have a single spot on it. Obviously, it was still far from becoming "one-spotted" black nine-mystery silk, let alone the highest level "nine-spotted" black nine-mystery silk.

"This is just the beginning."

"One must endure the onslaught of 'flame black crows' for three full days and also refine the 'black nine-mystery silk' for three full days!"

Ye Chen was in no hurry, continuing to use the methods from the Divine Light information to refine the "black nine-mystery silk".

On the other side.

Blood Flying Yan also entered the refining process of "black nine-mystery silk".

This woman was indeed someone of key cultivation by the Blood Wing Clan, taught divine skills by the Blood Origin Divine Master, her divine soul power was truly extraordinary.

In the furnace she faced, when eight 'flame black crows' attacked her divine soul, countless threads of bloodlight erupted instantly, immediately slaying the eight 'flame black crows' in the furnace!

Blood Flying Yan merely let out a cold laugh in her heart and then immersed herself in the refining of the "black nine-mystery silk".

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the furnace Ye Chen faced, one could see that the "black nine-mystery silk" in Ye Chen's hand had now turned into a "four-spotted" black nine-mystery silk!

At this moment, the entire furnace was filled with the increasingly dense and numerous attacks of "flame black crows" on Ye Chen. Each batch consisted of dozens to hundreds of them!

Even more terrifying was that the soul-killing force of each of these "flame black crows" far exceeded that of the "God-Devouring Caterpillar" and "Snowflame Toad" that Ye Chen faced earlier, as if numerous flames scorching towards Ye Chen's divine soul relentlessly!

If someone weaker were in this position, they would have long screamed in madness, or even their divine soul would have been severely injured.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen was not affected in the slightest.

No matter how many 'burning fire crows' came, Ye Chen instantly slew as many!

At the same time, the refinement of the "black nine-mystery silk" in Ye Chen's hand continued unabated!

Moreover, there was something even Blood Flying Yan did not know, at this moment, Ye Chen's divine soul in the furnace began to constantly strengthen!

"Marvelous, truly marvelous!"

"This furnace actually bears some resemblance to when I trained my divine soul in the Heavenly God Mountain back then. My divine soul transitioning from a 'blue divine soul' to a 'purple divine soul' can actually progress in this furnace!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but be amazed.

Back then, the Heavenly God Mountain was left by the colossal force of Cosmic Sea, the Ancestral God Temple, which even had great figures of the Divine Master Realm within, all so extraordinary.

Now it seemed that the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" were in no way inferior to the "Heavenly God Mountain", and in fact, appeared even more mysterious!

"This is just the sixth ordinary domain outside the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds,' and it can already aid in enhancing my divine soul!"

Enhancing the divine soul sounds simple, but achieving it is immensely difficult.

Under normal circumstances, upgrading from a "blue divine soul" to a "purple divine soul" would take hundreds to thousands of years of cultivation and require great fortunes!

This is why even many "Nine-Star Sovereigns" have not been able to raise their divine souls to the "purple divine soul" level.

Yet Ye Chen, ever since elevating his divine soul to the level of "blue divine soul" in the "Heavenly God Mountain", hadn't been able to further enhance it.

Now, in this sixth domain's "furnace" within the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds", Ye Chen had unexpectedly found a breakthrough!

"At the start of the second day of refining 'black nine-mystery silk', my divine soul also advanced. Judging by this, once I complete the three days of refining 'black nine-mystery silk', I might increase my divine soul strength by seven to eight per mille, saving hundreds of years of soul cultivation time!"

However, enhancing the divine soul strength is also an enormously painful process.

Initially, Ye Chen's divine soul was not much affected.

But by the third day of Ye Chen and Blood Flying Yan's refining of "black nine-mystery silk", not only had the attacks of "flame black crows" become dozens of times more intense on Ye Chen, but even his entire divine soul seemed to stir and blaze within the furnace!

From the outside, looking at Ye Chen's body, one could see countless beads of sweat dripping down, making him appear drenched.

To Blood Flying Yan, who'd been secretly observing Ye Chen, this scene carried a completely different implication.

"Hmm? Is this foreign divine king starting to falter?"

"Indeed, it's already the third day of refining 'black nine-mystery silk', even I am gradually struggling with the relentless attacks from 'flame black crows', this divine king, no matter how special, mustn't find it easy either."

Blood Flying Yan's mind stirred, harboring the intent to make a move on Ye Chen.

She'd been waiting for this opportunity!

However, Blood Flying Yan was indeed a person with calculating thoughts, even though she thought it was a great opportunity, she didn't immediately take action, but continued to wait, waiting for the optimal moment!

Time continued to pass.

When it reached the afternoon of the third day of refining "black nine-mystery silk", both Ye Chen and Blood Flying Yan had refined the "black nine-mystery silk" to the level of "eight-spotted" black nine-mystery silk.

At this moment, Blood Flying Yan was merely refining the "black nine-mystery silk" and slaying "flame black crows".

But Ye Chen, not only was refining "black nine-mystery silk" and slaying "flame black crows", his divine soul's cultivation towards a "purple divine soul" had also reached the critical juncture.

Outside, Ye Chen's body was completely soaked with sweat, leaving a large wet mark on the ground beneath.

In the furnace, Ye Chen's divine soul emitted a blinding firelight!

From the outside, it seemed as if Ye Chen could not withstand the trial of the fire furnace and was at a moment of extreme difficulty.

However, inside the furnace, Ye Chen's Divine Soul seemed to want to roar!

No matter how painful it was, Ye Chen genuinely felt the increase in his Divine Soul strength, which made him almost unable to resist letting out a long howl!

At this moment.

On the other side, Fei Yan's mind and spirit suddenly stirred.

"It's now!"

"This is the moment when the 'Black Nine Profound Threads' progresses from 'Eight Spots' to 'Nine Spots'. This foreign race Divine King has become like this and absolutely cannot spare any attention to defend against my attack!"

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, eight golden and shining Divine Nail-like objects instantly erupted from Fei Yan's body!

This was surprisingly a Divine Soul attack marvel given to Fei Yan by the Blood Origin Divine Master — "Falling Divine Nail".

Each "Falling Divine Nail" could degrade an opponent's combat power by one level through a Divine Soul attack. With all eight together, Fei Yan was confident to directly degrade Ye Chen's combat power from the level of an Upper Immortal Divine Venerable to an ordinary person, or even annihilate Ye Chen's combat power entirely!

Fei Yan truly had a mind of relentless malice.

In such a situation of refining the "Black Nine Profound Threads" inside the furnace, even dropping Ye Chen's combat power by just one level was enough to make him unable to withstand the trial of the fire furnace, causing his Divine Soul to completely disintegrate.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The attack of the "Falling Divine Nail" was extremely swift.

They seemed to shuttle through the void, vanishing the instant Fei Yan launched them, and in the next moment, they were already piercing towards Ye Chen!

At this time, Ye Chen still seemed immersed in the process of refining the "Black Nine Profound Threads" inside the furnace!

What Fei Yan didn't know was that at the moment she launched the "Falling Divine Nail" towards Ye Chen, the Divine Soul of Ye Chen in the furnace emitting blinding flames suddenly moved vigorously.

Instantly, Ye Chen's exterior body also moved dramatically.

"As expected, couldn't resist attacking me?!"

A voice emerged from Ye Chen's Divine Soul.

In an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the moment the eight "Falling Divine Nails" struck Ye Chen, a dazzling purple-silver Divine Light suddenly erupted from his body.

Amid the purple-silver Divine Light, a mysterious battle armor surfaced directly on Ye Chen's body.

Purple Silver Battle Armor!

This armor was, unsurprisingly, a Polar Sky Level armor called "Purple Silver Battle Armor" created from "Purple Silver Pearl" and given to Ye Chen by the Jiuyuan Divine Master during his expedition in the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain" at Heavenly God Mountain!

Upon the emergence of the "Purple Silver Battle Armor", Ye Chen's Divine Soul defensive skill "Amethyst Soul Protection Skills" was also directly activated.

Even the Divine Nail, a Divine Object given to Fei Yan by the Blood Origin Divine Master, was directly deflected by Ye Chen's "Purple Silver Battle Armor"!

Seeing this scene, Fei Yan, who originally expected to kill Ye Chen, suddenly went from great joy to great shock.

Fei Yan did not expect that the seemingly drenched Ye Chen, who appeared unable to withstand the trial of the fire furnace, exploded with Divine Soul defensive power that even chilled her to the core at the moment of her attack!

"You!" Fei Yan exclaimed in shock, but to her surprise, something unexpected happened.

Ye Chen did not waste any words with her and launched a counterattack directly towards her.

Boom!

From Ye Chen's body, the "Purple Silver Battle Armor" unleashed a powerful Divine Soul attack method, the "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills".

Inside the furnace, Ye Chen used the "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills" to slay countless "Burning Fire Crows", and now, outside the furnace, Ye Chen also used this technique to attack Fei Yan.

Repaying her attack in kind.

Though Ye Chen initially did not intend to attack Fei Yan, since she intended to kill him, he naturally retaliated against this malicious woman without hesitation!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

How powerful was the "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills", this Divine Soul Attack Secret Technique!

As soon as Ye Chen initiated it, countless blade-like purple radiances, dazzling like knife wings, counterattacked towards Fei Yan.

An extraordinary scene unfolded.

Mere moments ago, it was Fei Yan who launched eight "Falling Divine Nail" attacks at Ye Chen, but moments later, the "Falling Divine Nail" was deflected, and it was Ye Chen launching countless purple blade radiances of the "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills" towards Fei Yan!

Originally, even if Fei Yan wasn't refining the "Black Nine Profound Threads" inside the furnace, it would not have been easy for her to resist Ye Chen's attack, let alone now, when she had to split her attention between defending against both the attacks of the "Burning Fire Crows" inside the furnace and Ye Chen's "Amethyst Soul Slaying Skills".

Instantly, Fei Yan found herself at a life-or-death moment!
