Tan Chen knew that these people despised his origins in the Love Domain. Although he felt anger in his heart, he forcibly suppressed it. Compared to the Mortal World Domain, the Love Domain was indeed far inferior, so it was normal for these people to feel a sense of superiority in front of him.
“One day, the Love Domain will make you look up to it. The Love Domain is not something you can underestimate!” Tan Chen gritted his teeth and secretly swore in his heart.
Looking at the distant and now empty Dark Pool, Tan Chen could not help but think. Perhaps when facing Ye Chu, they would not dare to put on their airs of being from the Mortal World Domain. Thinking of this, Tan Chen could not help but smile bitterly.
Before this, he still felt a sense of superiority in front of Ye Chu, thinking that Ye Chu was just a guy from a small place who got incredibly lucky. He never expected that in such a short time, the things the other party revealed would leave him dumbfounded, making him unable to help but feel a sense of frustration.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but all eyes were focused on the Dark Pool, even though the pool was calm at the moment, with only a gurgling stream flowing down.
…
Ye Chu continued to walk in the direction of the light, his body blocking the surging pressure from the water waves. After getting close to the light, Ye Chu finally saw clearly what was at the bottom of the Dark Pool.
It was a refined stone the size of a baby and shaped like one. Its entire body was like blue crystal, lying quietly at the bottom of the Dark Pool, devouring the holy liquid. The holy liquid flowed into it and disappeared completely.
“This blue water essence actually feeds on holy liquid?” Ye Chu clicked his tongue just thinking about it. He had seen the miraculous nature of the holy liquid, which was an extremely precious thing. Yet this astonishing stone actually fed on it. Was it really nurturing an immortal embryo inside? Ye Chu felt this was possible!
If it were not an immortal embryo, why would it need holy liquid to nourish it?
Ye Chu strode quickly towards the refined stone, the power in his body surging to block the terrifying water pressure. The light was brilliant, and the green lotus trembled as it landed beside the stone. He reached out and grabbed towards the baby-sized rock.
“Boom…” As Ye Chu reached out, the refined stone trembled. A terrifying burst of light shot out, striking directly at Ye Chu’s arm. Ye Chu’s outstretched hand was instantly numbed by the shock, and he was sent flying backwards. Blood surged in his mouth and sprayed out, staining the surrounding holy liquid with a bloody scent.
Ye Chu gritted his teeth. The green lotus trembled, and chaotic cyan qi surged out, rolling towards the medium-sized refined stone. With the power of the chaotic cyan qi rolling out, the light originally bursting from the refined stone disappeared. Ye Chu’s power wrapped around it and yanked it towards himself.
But just as Ye Chu pulled the refined stone towards himself, this part of the Dark Pool began to erupt. The holy liquid was swept up, and the light around it surged violently, turning into chains. The chains shattered, and the light transformed into brilliant starlight, illuminating the pitch-black Dark Pool.
From the outside, everyone could see that the Dark Pool had suddenly become incredibly bright, which caused countless people to focus their gazes on it.
Lin Shixin and Bai Qingqing stared intently at that place, feeling somewhat nervous in their hearts, wondering if Ye Chu had succeeded.
Ye Chu had his eyes closed in the Dark Pool. After adapting to the brilliant light, he slowly opened them, only to discover that where the refined stone had just been, there was a massive formation. The formation had cracked as the refined stone was swept away by him, and countless fissures had already appeared there.
He let out a light breath. Ye Chu looked at the refined stone beside him. Just as he was about to reach out and grab it, the stone shot out violently, rushing straight towards the surface of the Dark Pool.
“Boom…”
A massive sound exploded as the refined stone shot out from the Dark Pool, bringing up a terrifying water dragon, as if a divine dragon was soaring into the sky within it.
The refined stone appeared in the eyes of the world. Everyone was shocked by its brilliant light. Under its radiance, the sun and moon grew dim.
“What is this thing?” The crowd looked at the refined stone in the void, all of them frozen in place. This stone radiated brilliant light and was shaped like a baby, yet there was something wriggling inside it. If one did not look carefully, they would not even notice the wriggling thing within.
“How could this be?” They stared blankly at the void, guessing what this bizarre and terrifyingly aura-emitting thing was.
However, Lin Shixin and Bai Qingqing’s gazes were not attracted by the astonishing stone. They looked towards the Dark Pool, and their expressions changed slightly. At the Dark Pool, they did not see that figure.
Just as the two women were about to make a move, the Dark Pool parted to form a waterway, and a head popped out from it. Although it was pale, it made Lin Shixin feel relieved.
Only then did they turn their attention to the refined stone. Looking at the incredibly brilliant stone, a trace of heat appeared in their eyes.
“This is…” Luo Chizi and Wang Shanzhi looked at the refined stone in the void. Suddenly, their expressions changed, and they shouted in horror, “Is this the essence of a star?”
Waves of shock surged in their hearts. They never expected to encounter such a thing.
They had all heard the legends about the Mortal World Female Saint. Rumour had it that back then, a star fell from the sky, aiming to crash into the Mortal World Domain.
The force of a stellar impact was utterly terrifying. If the Mortal World Domain had truly been struck, it was feared that over half the living beings on it would have perished. Back then, as everyone watched this star crash down, they had already despaired, and countless people in the Mortal World Domain waited for the arrival of death.
But the result exceeded their expectations. The Mortal World Female Saint appeared out of thin air and blocked the shooting refined stone with her supreme power. This made everyone in the entire Mortal World Domain at that time grateful to the Mortal World Female Saint, which was also one of the reasons the Mortal World Domain revered her.
Of course, this also proved the strength of the Mortal World Female Saint. Being able to block a falling star was what kind of terrifying method?
But this was not what shocked the world the most. What shocked the world was that the Mortal World Female Saint actually refined this star, turning a massive pure essence into a baby-sized refined stone.
So, seeing that this refined stone was shaped like a baby, they knew this was that very stone.
No one could remain calm. How terrifying was the essence nurtured by a single star? If one could obtain it, then…
They could not imagine it, staring intently at this refined stone. They thought that if someone had known about it before this, many people would probably have come to snatch it, even knowing they would die here.
But…
The crowd’s gaze fell on Ye Chu, who was climbing out of the Dark Pool. They never expected this guy to find this thing.
Watching Ye Chu step through the air in the direction of the refined stone, everyone took a deep breath. Luo Chizi and the others clenched their fists even tighter.
“Is such a good thing really going to belong to them?”
Thinking of this, they felt extremely distressed.
Ye Chu walked through the air, stepping towards this refined stone. Compared to others, Ye Chu did not know the true value of this thing. He only knew it was definitely valuable. It was even nurturing an immortal embryo, and what Ye Chu wanted was to obtain the immortal embryo within it.
