Chapter 1734: Chapter 1551: Phoenix Empress

This scene deeply shocked everyone present; none had expected that the assault by a Diamond Great Power would fail, only for the Combat Saint King to tear apart the Immortal Divine Body with his strongest strike.

Even those Great Power Level Overlords in the rear shared the sentiment. This was a Diamond Great Power, one of the most terrifying beings in the Pill Ruins Ancient Realm, possessing a Diamond-level Immortal Divine Body, yet was blasted apart by a mere Little Heavenly King, which was truly unbelievable.

However, at the same time, Ye Chen did not leave the Pill Ruins Ancient Realm. On the contrary, under the watchful eyes of all, he strode back, charging alone towards those Great Power Level Overlords.

Rumble—

The Chaos Tripod had long been restored to its original state, and now it enlarged, suppressing the heavens and earth, pounding towards those Great Power Level Overlords, sending them flying head over heels, caught off guard and thrown into disarray.

Simultaneously, Ye Chen performed a sealing technique, unleashing terrifying divine skills, once again blasting apart the reassembling Diamond Immortal Divine Body of the Diamond Great Power, or more precisely, before it even genuinely reformed, it was once again torn and blasted apart.

This yet-to-form Diamond Immortal Divine Body’s defense was far inferior to a fully formed Diamond Divine Body, and it could not withstand Ye Chen’s fierce assault.

The Diamond Great Power roared, full of unwillingness and rage, finding himself reduced to this state, as the opponent’s combat strength was not weaker than his. In a head-to-head battle, it might be hard to predict the outcome, but with one party’s divine body blown up, this gap was thoroughly magnified.

The opponent could accurately seize every advantageous opportunity to launch attacks, prevent the reassembly of the Immortal Divine Body.

Other Great Power Level Overlords charged forward, seeking to block, unleashing terrifying divine skills that engulfed the sky, killing Ye Chen, exploding into immeasurable destructive divine light.

Such a collision was far beyond imagination.

Ye Chen did not dare to confront head-on, continually casting various divine skills to block and dissolve the attacks.

Ye Chen blasted the Diamond Great Power for the third time, infuriating the latter immensely, with his divine soul howling incessantly, yet never having a complete chance to reform, with his divine soul being forcibly torn repeatedly, suffering severe injuries.

Undoubtedly, Ye Chen truly wished to absorb the Diamond Great Power into the Chaos Tripod for powerful refinement.

But it was not possible, not only because the Diamond Great Power’s life force was extraordinarily astonishing, but more importantly, from the depths of the Pill Ruins Ancient Realm, other Great Power Level Overlords were also rushing over, with existences no less terrifying than the Diamond Great Power, and even more so.

One after another, all truly formidable terrors, and at this moment, Ye Chen, strong as he is, could not face so many Great Power Level Overlords alone.

He let out a gentle sigh; ultimately, he attacked the just-reassembled Diamond Immortal Divine Body of the Diamond Great Power, injecting it with a Chaos Light, and tearing it apart once more. He then blasted it towards the rear, directly triggering an explosion, shaking the entire Pill Ruins Ancient Realm, the vast destructive power swept across the entire realm, causing a cataclysmic impact.

Those Great Power Level Overlords simply did not react in time, being engulfed by the tidal wave of terrifying destructive fluctuations, unable to completely extricate themselves, submerged within.

Undoubtedly, as strong as they were, facing the explosive force of a Fifth Layer Heaven top-tier Great Power, they could not completely escape unscathed, each suffering severe harm, with cracked forms and large coughs of blood being common, even some being blown apart, the effect was extraordinarily intense.

It was too terrifying.

"Ah—"

Amidst the wave of endless destruction, a world-shocking roar could be heard, shaking the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

It was a phoenix, not a pure-blooded Undying Phoenix, but with a very pure bloodline, showing signs of evolving into the progenitor Undying Immortal Phoenix, its whole body ablaze with Immortal Immortal Fire, radiating layers upon layers, burning the Heavenly Universe, extremely terrifying, easily withstanding the destructive wave left by the Diamond Great Power’s explosion.

It charged towards Ye Chen, transforming into an Immortal Immortal Light, seemingly reaching the pinnacle of speed, far surpassing many Great Powers.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen had already stepped out, directly leaving the Pill Ruins Ancient Realm, returning to the Central Square, facing off against the phoenix within the ancient realm, quite astonished.

An Undying Immortal Phoenix, the legendary Chaos Holy Spirit, further comparable to the Supreme level of Emperors and Monarchs. In the world, there are many beings with Dragon Blood running through them, but those with Phoenix Blood are extremely rare. At least up to now, Ye Chen had only seen the granddaughter of the Lord of Ten Thousand Domain Harboring Undying Immortal Phoenix Blood, never seen others, unexpectedly, seeing another now, and one with a very pure bloodline, its form very close to the legendary Undying Immortal Phoenix.

Such a phoenix, extremely powerful, and has reached the Great Power Realm, possibly claiming to be the Supreme of the same rank.

If given the chance, its bloodline could be continuously refined to purity, utterly transforming into an Undying Immortal Phoenix.

Suddenly, he thought of the Chaos Immortal Egg within him, with Red Gold Dao Fire, with Supreme Dao Traces, wondering if it could also be a young Undying Immortal Phoenix.

He was somewhat curious, yet unable to know.

At this moment, the phoenix transformed, revealing a graceful and dignified woman. She appeared unmatched in beauty and carried an air of incomparable nobility, as if she was the supreme sovereign, untouchable by anyone.

Her three thousand strands of hair were styled like a phoenix, and she wore a Phoenix Immortal Robe, standing elegantly before the gates of the Pill Ruins Ancient World. She regarded Ye Chen coldly and then looked at the Great Power of the Pill Emperor Clan, speaking coldly: "Pill Emperor Clan, you have crossed the line. Although this Pill Ruins Ancient World is the place you provided for us to reside, we of the Demon Race are not your prisoners to be plundered of life at will. I demand an explanation!"

Her nobility and coldness contrasted sharply with the essence of the phoenix, filled with anger over the death of so many Great Power Level Dominators within the Pill Ruins Ancient World.

This was intolerable.

Even someone as powerful as Dan Chen frowned in the face of this Phoenix Divine Lady, for she was no ordinary Great Power, surpassing even a Diamond Great Power, and was also justified in her grievance. He said, "Phoenix Empress, what do you intend to do?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Phoenix Empress, the name of the phoenix, noble as an Empress of the mortal world, suited her perfectly.

The Phoenix Empress glanced at Ye Chen with her elongated phoenix eyes, pointing with her slender jade fingers: "Hand him over, and the grievances can be resolved."

Dan Chen’s expression changed immediately, not to mention that Ye Chen was a member of the Pill Emperor Clan, a standout participant in the Pill Scripture, not someone who could be handed over lightly. Moreover, the Ancient Monarch had recently stated that Ye Chen was to be honored as the First Minister of the Emperor Clan, a status not much lower than his own. How could they hand him over? He immediately refused, "Impossible, he is our Pill Emperor Clan’s First Minister. Do you know his status?"

"What!"

"First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan!?"

Many were astonished. Except for the high-ranking members of the Pill Emperor Clan, no one knew that Ye Chen held the status of First Minister. Even Ye Chen himself was somewhat taken aback, being unaware of it.

But at the moment, he remained silent, observing coldly and ready to respond flexibly.

Being named the First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan, it’s undeniable that this status surprised many. As the First Minister, as opposed to an ordinary Guest Elder, the distinction was significant.

As the Emperor Clan’s First Minister, his status was so high that outsiders would view him as not much lower than a peak Great Power like Dan Chen.

The Combat Saint King, with such a status, was undoubtedly a figure of high rank and authority within the entire Pill Emperor Clan, elevated above others, making it daring for anyone to offend him. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to opposing the entire Pill Emperor Clan, and the consequences were daunting even to imagine.

Yet many were puzzled when the Combat Saint King became the First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan. Even Ye Chen was quite confused and intrigued.

At this moment, Dan Chen transmitted his voice: "Young friend, do not be afraid. This is all personally decreed by the Emperor Ancestor of our Emperor Clan. You can accept or reject it, and our Pill Emperor Clan will not force you."

Such accommodating words left Ye Chen somewhat astonished.

The Dharma Decree personally issued by the Ancient Monarch’s Ancestor?

Ye Chen was puzzled. When had he ever spoken with the Ancient Monarch of the Pill Emperor Clan? He shook his head, perplexed by it, but as the First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan, it was an extremely important status that, from any angle, was advantageous to him.

Generally, as a Guest Elder, one enjoys the various generous treatments of the Emperor Clan, but only steps forward when the Emperor Clan is in trouble. However, for a powerful clan like the Pill Emperor Clan, with many Great Powers, not just one Ancient Monarch, it was evident that there would not carelessly face extinction crises.

Precisely for this reason, the status of First Minister seemed particularly important. Ye Chen did not immediately refuse, but also felt he could not accept it right away, needing to think carefully first.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Empress’s expression also changed. Her peerless beautiful face held a strange shock, clearly puzzled. When had the Combat Saint King become the First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan? She knew she couldn’t afford to treat someone with such a status rudely.

But her expression turned slightly dark. If she let Ye Chen off easily, she would be unwilling, looking coldly at Ye Chen, she said: "Hmph, even if you are the First Minister of the Pill Emperor Clan, how does that matter? Pill Emperor Clan, do not forget your agreement with us."

"What do you intend?" Dan Chen’s expression changed slightly, clearly realizing something.

Boom——

The Phoenix Empress suddenly made a move, appearing before Ye Chen with a swish. Although she seemed light, she was incredibly fast, to the point that even a peak Great Power like Dan Chen found it difficult to stop her immediately.

Almost simultaneously, she descended in front of Ye Chen, her exquisite face indifferent and cold. Her slender jade finger formed an Immortal Divine Seal, with the most brilliant and radiant Dao Rune flickering between her fingers, directly striking towards Ye Chen’s face, aiming for the Mud Ball Palace between his brows.

A strike with the intent to kill!
