The liquid was crystal clear and emitted a terrifying aura—it was none other than the Devastating Rain that Ye Chen had collected from Di Lintian's cave dwelling!
What exactly this Devastating Rain was no one knew, but its fearsome corrosive power made even Land Gods tremble in fear, making it one of Ye Chen's strongest measures at present!
Yalina and Qianyue Bing were both ready to unleash their powerful moves. If Ye Chen wanted to stall the Zombie King, he naturally had to use his strongest method!
"Ah, it hurts like hell! I'm indestructible, yet this rain can scald me—what the hell is this stuff!"
The Zombie King tried to crush Ye Chen with a palm strike, but when the Devastating Rain fell on him, inexplicable agony surged through to his soul, causing his divine sense nearly to shatter.
"Don't think just because you're tall and strong, you can be invincible and the top fighter. Let me tell you, in front of this lord, you need to coil like a dragon and lie down like a tiger. I am your real boss!"
Holding the clay jar, Ye Chen sprinkled the Devastating Rain, causing the Zombie King to retreat again and again. A domineering aura naturally arose, as if he were back in the cave dwelling, chasing after a host of saints in disarray.
"Dammit, what is this thing, and why does it hurt so much!"
The formidable Zombie King roared invincibly, his divine mind surging wildly, being in a state of high-frequency outburst.
"Die, I want you dead!"
The Zombie King brought his two massive palms together, gathering an unimaginable force between them. He no longer planned to approach Ye Chen to kill him but instead aimed to use his invincible strength to blast Ye Chen away.
"Crap, the Zombie King is about to unleash a big move, run! Run! Run!"
Ye Chen, seeing the Zombie King's stance for a big move, was immediately frightened into a cold sweat and fled without engaging in battle.
The Zombie King was staggeringly fierce, able to utterly overpower Ye Chen in every aspect. If Ye Chen were to be hit by his big strike, Ye Chen would undoubtedly be reduced to ashes.
The reason why Ye Chen dared to contend with the Zombie King was the Devastating Rain in the clay jar.
"Boom—"
The Zombie King pushed horizontally with his hands, unleashing extreme power. The stone cave world trembled under this strike, and the scene of heaven and earth splitting apart erupted like an atomic blast.
"Pfft!"
Ye Chen coughed up blood, sustaining a serious injury. Although he tried his best to dodge, the attack area of this strike was too vast, and he was still affected by the explosive force.
"Die!"
The invincible Zombie King came on with indomitable force, his towering body causing the vacuum to shatter. He aimed to stomp on Ye Chen, wanting to crush him alive.
"Damn it!" Ye Chen growled and, using extreme speed, narrowly escaped.
"Boom—"
The huge footfall kept coming, forcing Ye Chen to dodge without rest and face an almost unimaginable impact.
"Yalina, Qianyue Bing, are you ready? I can't hold on much longer!" Ye Chen roared.
Ye Chen dared to face off against the Zombie King and buy time precisely because Yalina and Qianyue Bing had powerful moves that could seriously injure or even kill the Zombie King!
"Would you speak up—how much longer do you need!"
Ye Chen's call went unanswered, causing him to become suddenly anxious. Were these two women harmed by their own moves?
Amidst the crisis, Ye Chen hurriedly looked back, checking on Yalina and Qianyue Bing to see how their preparations were going.
"Oh for the love of your uncle!"
One glance nearly shook Ye Chen to his core, almost allowing the Zombie King to slap him dead.
"These two women actually ran away, they headed to the deepest part of the stone cave, leaving me behind to seek the chance to ascend to sainthood!" Ye Chen discovered a brutal truth which made his entire life seem tragic—he had been played by these two women!
"You're so cunning, I trusted you so much, and yet you joined forces to trick me!"
Ye Chen was more miserable than ever, feeling he was far too naive. He trusted beautiful women so easily, yet beautiful women can be so scheming!
"Boom—"
The Zombie King pressed forward, leaving Ye Chen unable to escape, forced to entangle with him.
Yalina and Qianyue Bing moved with incredible speed through the stone cave, drawing close to the source of the alluring aura.
"Yalina, don't you feel any pangs of conscience doing this?" Qianyue Bing asked Yalina, who was running beside her.
"Why should I feel any pangs of conscience?" Yalina replied, her tone inexplicably cheerful.
"You deceive Ye Chen, saying you have a supreme technique that can kill the Zombie King, just to have him buy you time. Now Ye Chen is fighting the Zombie King to the death, and instead of unleashing your most powerful skills to help him, you seize the opportunity to grab the fortune of this place. Isn't that a bit too inhumane?" Qianyue Bing challenged.
"You're one to talk? You did the same by tricking Ye Chen into taking the blow for you!" Yalina scoffed.
Yalina was indeed deceiving Ye Chen, exploiting his naivety to achieve her unspeakable secret.
However, Yalina did not expect that there would be someone who shared her intentions, and that person turned out to be Ye Chen's aunt.
"I am not the same as you!" Qianyue Bing said. "Ye Chen is my cousin's man. He has faced deadly threats for me, and all of this is as it should be!"
"Yalina, you have no relationship with Ye Chen. Why do you betray him like this? Ye Chen is about to give out, yet you still refuse to support him!" As Ye Chen's situation grew dire, Qianyue Bing rebuked loudly.
"Ye Chen is in a crisis, and you, as his aunt, don't lift a finger to help. Why should I go save him?" Yalina sneered with disdain. Being a ruthless and cunning ninja, her scheming was not inferior to anyone's. If she foolishly went to Ye Chen's aid, she might as well have had her brains kicked out by a donkey.
"Enough with the pretense of justice, we have both harbored murderous thoughts towards Ye Chen, so we both would rather see him dead!" Qianyue Bing finally bared her fangs. "You want to send me away, I want to send you away, it's all just for the sake of monopolizing the opportunity!"
"So now that we have come clean, there's no need to waste our efforts on each other any longer!" Yalina said with a smile.
"The opportunity is ahead, whoever can seize it, does so by their own ability!"
Qianyue Bing and Yalina swiftly dashed toward the end of the stone cave, competing in speed to reach it first and gain the upper hand.
Qianyue Bing had previously claimed she would kill Ye Chen to free Naimei Xue.
Yalina had also stated that because Ye Chen gave the flower of the Other Shore to Athena, placing her in a life-and-death predicament, she wanted to kill Ye Chen in revenge.
Although they eventually set aside their hostility towards Ye Chen, their murderous intent had not completely faded. Now, with an opportunity to plot against Ye Chen, naturally, they were willing to see him dead.
Therefore, even when Ye Chen narrowly survived an attack from the Zombie King, both Yalina and Qianyue Bing remained indifferent.
"What draws us here turns out to be a piece of golden light?" Qianyue Bing arrived at the end of the stone cave and was somewhat shaken by the sight in front of her.
At the end of the stone cave shone a pale golden radiance, resembling the halo of a Saint, emanating an indescribable air of mystery.
What drew Qianyue Bing and her companions was this expanse of pale golden light.
What is this thing!
"This is not mere golden light, but a field of Chaos Qi!" Yalina realized as she gazed upon the pale golden radiance, initially just as perplexed, but then her expression suddenly turned to one of extreme shock.
"Chaos Qi, what is that?" Qianyue Bing asked, puzzled.
"You are a legendary ninja from the island nation, you must have read some ancient texts, yet you don't recognize this Chaos Qi?" Yalina said with a smirk. "This Chaos Qi has another name, it's also called Immeasurable Golden Light!"
"Immeasurable Golden Light!" Qianyue Bing's breath hitched as she suddenly remembered something.
"Exactly!" Yalina's eyes burst with brilliance. "The thing that mysteriously draws us here is this Immeasurable Golden Light!"
"Legend has it that the Immeasurable Golden Light can aid one's ascent to immortality, but no one has ever seen it before!" Qianyue Bing's voice trembled slightly. "We have actually discovered this legendary substance!"
"This is our chance!" Yalina declared. "Many ancient texts record that the most powerful martial artists who absorb the Immeasurable Golden Light can not only ascend to become Earthly Immortals but also escape heavenly tribulations!"
"With a hundred zhang worth of Immeasurable Golden Light, there's plenty for both of us to ascend to Earthly Immortality, so there's no need for us to vie covertly anymore!"
Yalina beheld the vast expanse of Immeasurable Golden Light, her eyes alight with extreme fervor, an insatiable longing.
The Immeasurable Golden Light is an incredible substance, possessing many unimaginable uses. It can serve as a Healing Holy Medicine, saving people from life and death, or it can evolve the natural order of the universe, unleashing powers beyond the divine and demonic!
Yet, what makes Immeasurable Golden Light most famous is not its healing properties, nor its potential to be transformed into a superlative offensive power, but its ability to induce a wondrous transformation in the strongest Martial Artists, allowing them to ascend to Earthly Immortality!
No one knows how the Immeasurable Golden Light came into being. Its light is pale gold, as if it were the glow of the nascent sun, and it contains a divine substance that defies understanding.
Thus, some ancient beings speculate that the Immeasurable Golden Light may be the first glimmer of light that fell from the heavens when the world was formed!
The origins of Immeasurable Golden Light are mysterious, with unimaginable efficacy, naturally it is extremely rare. One could search thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and possibly never find a single strand of golden light!
And descriptions of Immeasurable Golden Light are mostly found in ancient texts.
Yet here at the end of this stone cave, the pale golden gas extends over a hundred zhang, its unfathomable aura sweeping through heaven and earth, a spectacle that truly defies belief.
Such an expanse of Chaos Qi would drive Earthly Immortals and even Great Venerables of the Other Shore to desperate, life-risking actions to obtain it because it's that precious!
"With so much Immeasurable Golden Light, it's impossible for us to take it all with us!" Yalina said. "Ye Chen is barely hanging on; we better quickly refine the golden light and ascend to Earthly Immortality!"
As a practitioner of the Ten Dragons Taboo, Yalina had to accumulate an incredible foundation to ascend to Earthly Immortality. Even though Yalina has lingered in the Ten Dragons Realm for a long time, ascending to immortality now would still be somewhat beyond her reach.
However, the appearance of Immeasurable Golden Light could enable Yalina to take a great leap forward, without even worrying about triggering heavenly tribulations, because the Immeasurable Golden Light inherently contains the inscrutable Heavenly Dao, which grants immunity to such tribulations.
"Of course, we should ascend, but what about Ye Chen?" Qianyue Bing still had some conscience and had not forgotten about Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen has many trump cards up his sleeve, it won't be easy for the Zombie King to kill him!" Yalina said. "Besides, even if we wanted to save him, we are powerless to do so. Only by ascending to Earthly Immortality can we be of help to him!"
"Well then, let's not delay. Let's quickly refine the Immeasurable Golden Light and ascend to Earthly Immortality!" Qianyue Bing said.
"Rumble——"
Qianyue Bing and Yalina each unleashed terrifying power, and from them erupted a tremendous suction force, drawing in the endless pale golden gas into their bodies.
