For the final few days, Ye Chu used baleful energy to baptise Ye Jingyun. Helping to baptise her physique, Ye Chu was extremely careful, not daring to make the slightest mistake. After all, the Teng Snake baleful energy was too terrifying. If even a trace remained in Ye Jingyun’s body, it was definitely something she could not withstand.
Of course, such a huge risk also made Ye Jingyun’s improvement terrifying. Under the stimulation of the Teng Snake baleful energy, her strength was increasing frantically.
Of course, Ye Chu was also kicked off the bed by Ye Jingyun many times during this period. Ye Chu’s hands would occasionally brush against her chest, her long legs, or her various private parts, and every time, Ye Jingyun would send a flying kick his way.
It was under such circumstances that Ye Jingyun’s strength improved by two levels, and she also stepped into the rank of a High-grade Prince.
Ye Chu also benefited greatly during these days. In his previous battle with Tan Kai, he had pushed his own power to its absolute limit, and at that time, he was already faintly on the verge of breaking through his bottleneck. Later, when baptising Ye Jingyun’s physique, he also verified his own Dao and methods. The bottleneck shattered completely, and in an instant, Ye Chu stepped into the Ninth Layer of the Xuangu Realm.
Reaching the Ninth Layer, Ye Chu felt a massive improvement in himself. If he were to encounter Tan Kai at this moment, perhaps he would not need to unleash so many wondrous arts just to hold him off.
Ye Jingyun also did not expect Ye Chu to break through so abruptly, and she was inwardly amazed by his comprehension. She had originally thought she had closed the gap between them, but in this very instant, he had widened it once again.
After both of them had broken through, Ye Jingyun realised that the baleful energy no longer had much effect on her, so she kicked Ye Chu off the bed with a single kick and lay on it alone.
Ye Chu, who had long been used to this, did not mind at all. He shrugged and walked out of the room. Wandering casually around the Tan family, he wondered how Tan Miaotong was doing since he had not seen her for so long.
Thinking about the preparations he had made when he came to the Tan family, Ye Chu felt somewhat uneasy again. Lost in thought, Ye Chu walked aimlessly and forgot where he had wandered. By the time he came to his senses, he frowned slightly.
At this moment, he had walked into a stone forest. A stone forest was not exactly a strange thing, as he had been in this area before. But what puzzled Ye Chu was that today’s stone forest had intents coiling around it. Ye Chu perked up and stared intently at the crowd.
“Is it finally happening?” Ye Chu took a deep breath, then shouted towards the void, “Whatever you all want to do, why not just be straightforward? Why use such petty tricks?”
How could Ye Chu not tell? This stone forest was actually a grand formation. He was currently trapped within it, and the kind of person who could lay down such a grand formation must be someone from the Council of Elders.
But what puzzled Ye Chu was that just as his words faded, a group of outstanding talents from the Tan family walked out.
“We have long heard of Brother Ye’s extraordinary strength. We have set up this grand formation to test Brother Ye’s abilities. We wonder if Brother Ye would be so kind as to enlighten us.” The group stared at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu looked at these people. None of them could compare to Tan Chen, yet each one was brimming with confidence. Ye Chu naturally knew the reason for this. He looked at them with a smile and said, “You all truly flatter me! Using a formation laid down by your elders to deal with me, I am truly overwhelmed with flattery!”
This remark made the expressions of these outstanding talents somewhat awkward, but they quickly covered it up. “We do not understand what Brother Ye is saying. We simply wish to test Brother Ye’s strength. If Brother Ye does not dare to accept, then perhaps you should leave the Tan family?”
Ye Chu shrugged and said, “If your elders were here, it would indeed be difficult for me to break the grand formation they laid down. But if you lot want to control the grand formation to fight against me, you are still a step short.”
This remark brought anger to the faces of the group of outstanding talents. Although they could not compare to the elders, with the grand formation laid down by them, their strength could increase exponentially. Working in tandem with the formation, even a figure at the Xuanhua Realm would find it hard to resist.
To be so arrogant after falling into the grand formation meant they would not shed a tear until they saw the coffin.
Thinking of this, these figures danced about, and various intents surged out violently. As the intents clashed one after another, everyone stared blankly at Ye Chu, their eyes cold and stern.
Without relying on the grand formation, even if these people attacked together, they would not be a match for Ye Chu. Ye Chu could take them down in just a few exchanges.
But as they drove the grand formation, it instantly erupted. The terrifying intents within it danced, and as they danced, a sky full of brilliant light surged brilliantly.
“Rumble…”
Deafening roars shook continuously, and a terrifying might surged out from the stone forest. A sky full of power condensed within the stone forest formation, transforming into a giant stone dragon. The stone dragon swept towards Ye Chu, its attacking momentum shockingly terrifying.
These repeated collisions made people’s hearts pound. Hearing the commotion, Ye Jingyun rushed over. Looking at the giant stone forest, it was like seeing a dormant giant dragon, and Ye Chu was currently right in its mouth.
“How despicable!” Ye Jingyun could not help but curse. A group of people joining forces to form such a grand formation to deal with Ye Chu was no different from them attacking him directly.
“Hahaha… A bunch of hypocrites who do evil yet still want to keep up a facade of virtue, do you truly think this can do anything to me?” Ye Chu laughed heartily. His aura danced, and terrifying power transformed into a sky full of petals. As the petals flew, they blocked the surging power of the stone forest.
Looking at Ye Chu, whose momentum was as magnificent as a rainbow, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. They did not expect that Ye Chu’s strength had actually improved yet again.
A group of elders hiding on the sidelines to watch from afar also turned grim-faced at this moment. This youth was indeed extraordinary, but he just had to be their opponent. If it were not for Ye Chu setting his sights on Miaotong, he could have taken any other woman from the Tan family.
“Hmph! But to dare to curse us as hypocrites, we will not let you have it easy today!” They looked at the group of Tan family disciples, and smiles returned to their faces. This group’s strength was not much to speak of, but it was enough to control the grand formation, and it was equally enough to defeat Ye Chu.
Sure enough, these people danced with their intents, and various fierce attacks from the stone forest continued endlessly. Waves of shocking power surged violently from the stone forest formation, and the sky full of intents merged, transforming into biting cold attacks that swept towards Ye Chu time and time again.
Every time, Ye Chu was shaken and forced to retreat continuously. Amidst his constant screams, various powers directly blasted the void into collapse.
Ye Chu was also trembling with fear. Such power was too terrifying. If his speed had not been fast enough, he feared he would have already been blasted into severe injuries.
“Ye Chu, you might as well leave this place now, otherwise you will be carried out horizontally today!” a disciple shouted at Ye Chu, his voice shaking like thunder.
“Haha, a broken formation also wants me to admit defeat? You are looking down on me too much! Wait until your elders rely on their seniority and disregard their dignity to make a move themselves, then we will talk.”
As Ye Chu spoke, his voice was as vast as thunder. The power in his arm danced, and he blasted directly towards one of the stone mountains. His fist, carrying the Chaos Green Qi, struck the stone mountain, causing it to shatter.
“I will just let you see how I break this stone formation!”
