A prodigy was indeed terrifying. Ye Chu refined his entire essence with the Soul-Devouring Yuan Transformation Method. He benefited immensely, and his strength surged. One foot had stepped into the Sovereign level. But because he had yet to possess Dao and Law, his strength halted at this level, unable to advance even an inch further.
But at this moment, Ye Chu was already in no way inferior to a Sovereign in terms of power. He was even slightly stronger.
Similarly, devouring the essence of a prodigy had nearly caused Ye Chu to be devoured in return. Possessing the bloodline of the Unfallen Sacred King, Ye Chu refined the other’s Yuan Spirit. The will of the Unfallen Sacred King carried within the blood also erupted. Had Ye Chu not had Supreme Will to contend against it, he would probably have been erased in an instant.
But the eruption of Supreme Will also nearly caused Ye Chu to lose himself. He felt he was already somewhat unable to suppress the Supreme Will. The Supreme Will was faintly influencing Ye Chu’s Yuan Spirit, seeking to cause Ye Chu to lose himself.
This made Ye Chu frown slightly. He thought that he needed to comprehend Dao and Law as soon as possible. Otherwise, he truly feared he would be lost to the Supreme Will.
Ye Chu put away the collected blood of the Unfallen Star. This was a prodigy’s blood, and it was of great benefit to Xi Xi.
Looking at the dried corpse on the ground, Ye Chu then turned his gaze to the people of Unfallen Mountain.
The cultivators of Unfallen Mountain were already stunned. They had not expected that even the Crown Prince殿下 had been annihilated by the other party. This was the Crown Prince殿下, the inheritor of this generation. He represented the hope of Unfallen Mountain for this generation. Yet such a person had died before their eyes. It was equivalent to the hope of Unfallen Mountain for this generation being completely severed.
Unfallen Mountain was destroyed, the Crown Prince killed. This was catastrophic news for Unfallen Mountain. They did not know if the people of Unfallen Mountain could accept this fact.
A prodigy, as long as he did not die, would certainly become a figure with a voice in this world. But now, before he had even grown, he had been killed.
Everyone looked at Ye Chu with ferocious eyes, their eyes blood-red, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced towards Ye Chu to kill him. This hatred had long made them forget fear. All that remained was fury. They wanted to tear this person into ten thousand pieces.
A group of people pounced towards Ye Chu, each burning their own blood, throwing themselves at Ye Chu without regard for life or death.
Ye Chu had not feared them before, so he feared them even less now. Various powers continuously surged forth. Every strike of power was enough to strangle a cultivator.
Sword light flew in all directions. Ye Chu slaughtered his way through.
These people had also gone mad, disregarding life and death, burning their own essence blood, surging forth power far exceeding their own, and pouncing towards Ye Chu to kill him. Every time was a fight with their lives. Such attacks made Ye Chu not dare to underestimate them.
Ye Chu was not afraid of them, but this suicidal siege made him fear that a single moment of carelessness would cause him to capsize in a gutter.
The madness of the Unfallen Mountain cultivators also made Ye Chu turn ferocious. Terrifying power impacts were unceasing. The Green Lotus was also deployed. Wherever his fists passed, nothing could stand in their way. No one could block them. His fists shattered all things, his momentum unstoppable.
Later, another Sovereign came in pursuit. Not knowing Ye Chu’s details, he pounced towards Ye Chu head-on. Ye Chu smashed out with a fist transformed from Chaos Green Qi, instantly shattering his arm into pieces. The entire person was directly pierced through by the fist and died.
This strike shocked everyone, finally restoring some rationality to those who had been throwing themselves at Ye Chu without regard for their lives. Terror also appeared in their eyes, and some finally began to retreat.
When one person retreated, the morale of the others was affected, and they quickly collapsed.
Watching this scene, a coldness appeared at the corner of Ye Chu’s mouth. He thought that if that Sovereign had not collided head-on with his fist, it would have been somewhat difficult for him to kill him. But colliding with his fist was simply seeking death. A fist erupting with Chaos Green Qi could shatter all things. It was absolutely not something a Sovereign could block.
The Unfallen Star had also died from this point. Had he not been overly confident in his armour previously, with his Unfallen Sacred King bloodline, self-preservation would have been no problem. But he lost through carelessness, and this led to his death.
Ye Chu suddenly somewhat understood why the Old Madman never spoke of external things. Because possessing external things was a shackle upon one’s own cultivation. For example, the Unfallen Star possessed armour, so he was somewhat negligent regarding his own defence. And this negligence made him pay the price with his life.
The collapsed cultivators could no longer block Ye Chu’s footsteps. Ye Chu ran all the way. Those who blocked him were directly blasted to death with sword intent and fists. His entire person was stained with blood, like a bloody devil walking out of hell.
Ye Chu killed until their hearts turned cold, and he was also getting further and further from Unfallen Mountain. Ye Chu slaughtered his way through, thinking that before long, he would be able to shake off these people’s pursuit.
“Boom…”
After Ye Chu blasted one person to death, the void suddenly erupted. The entire void twisted, and heaven and earth trembled unceasingly. A massive vortex appeared in the void. The vortex spun, the sky burst apart, and heart-palpitating pitch-black cracks appeared one by one.
This scene made Ye Chu’s heart leap wildly. Especially when he felt a terrifying power to the extreme suppressing him until he could barely breathe, Ye Chu’s body tensed even further.
Just as Ye Chu was wondering what on earth was going on, a figure suddenly appeared in the void. This figure was precisely Shui Gu. Shui Gu landed beside Ye Chu, said not a single word, grabbed Ye Chu’s arm, dragged Ye Chu to tear open space, and shot into the space.
“Go!” The eternal sleepiness in Shui Gu was completely gone. What replaced it was a gravity he had never had before. He grabbed Ye Chu and traversed the void.
“What is it?” Ye Chu asked Shui Gu in confusion.
“The true foundation of Unfallen Mountain has broken its seal from the Xuan Stone! If we do not leave now, I fear we truly will not be able to leave!” As Shui Gu explained, his speed increased even further.
Ye Chu did not know what the true foundation was, but seeing Shui Gu’s expression, he knew how terrifying the other party was. He also said not a word, cooperating with Shui Gu to flee rapidly.
“You killed their inheritor of this generation?” Shui Gu suddenly asked Ye Chu, “That is rather beyond my expectations.”
“How did you know?” Ye Chu was puzzled, but he quickly reacted. All along, the strongest cultivators pursuing him had been Sovereigns. Unfallen Mountain certainly had more than just strong ones, so why had they not come? It was probably all blocked by Shui Gu.
And the reason Shui Gu let these people through was probably another reason, to temper him.
“I originally thought the Crown Prince of this generation could fight you to a draw, forcing out your Dao. I did not expect that you are strong enough to surprise me. You actually managed to kill him. Without even having comprehended Dao!” Shui Gu looked at Ye Chu and sighed.
Ye Chu was about to say something when he saw Shui Gu’s expression change drastically. He suddenly grabbed Ye Chu. Before Ye Chu understood what was happening, a massive pressure suddenly surged towards them from all around. This pressure pressed down upon them, making it impossible for them to traverse space. They were forced out from within space.
“No one can leave. All must die!” A ferocious voice reached Ye Chu and Shui Gu’s ears. They fell straight from the void, and an overbearing majesty bore down directly upon Ye Chu.
