Primordial Star Scripture

At this moment, Xue Xian's face was flushed with a deep red. Slapped in the face. Severely slapped in the face! He had made a lengthy speech and even came up with three conditions for Ye Chen, which he assumed Ye Chen wouldn't dare to accept after being challenged to a duel on the Platform of Life and Death. He waited proudly for Ye Chen to agree to those three humiliating terms. But Ye Chen completely ignored those conditions. What's more, he bluntly stated that if Xue Xian dared to accept the duel on the Platform of Life and Death, he would kill him on the spot! Although Xue Xian wasn't as powerful as the great figures like Yang Yun and Yang Yan from major forces, he was still a high-ranked God King with unparalleled combat strength! Otherwise, Yang Yun and Yang Yan wouldn't have asked him to make a move against Ye Chen. But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was being looked down upon by a True God. The feeling of being despised made him feel as if everyone in the crowd was laughing at him. Xue Xian felt a surge of stifled anger rising in his heart and nearly fainted on the spot. "Boy, you truly have a death wish!" After taking a deep breath, Xue Xian managed to suppress this inexplicable emotion. When he looked at Ye Chen again, the murderous intent in his eyes was no longer hidden. He now had to kill Ye Chen, otherwise others might think he really feared Ye Chen! "Originally, if you agreed to my three conditions, you could have lived a bit longer." "Since you're so confident in your strength, then let's see on the Platform of Life and Death, who lives and who dies!" Xue Xian said through gritted teeth, addressing Ye Chen directly. Seeing the murderous intent in Xue Xian's eyes, Ye Chen's gaze also turned cold. He had intended to give Xue Xian a chance, but since Xue Xian remained unrepentant, then... Let that murderous intent vanish forever! "Then let's head straight to the Platform of Life and Death!" Ye Chen said calmly. Whir! Xue Xian showed no sign of backing down, and Ye Chen was ready to face him head-on. Everyone could tell that what Ye Chen had said was not just bravado; he truly dared to face Xue Xian in a battle to the death! This tensed up everyone present at the scene. The True God disciples from the Supreme Divine Institute, as well as many God Kings who had heard the news and arrived, were unsure who would survive if these two confident individuals actually faced off on the Platform of Life and Death. At that moment, Ye Chen's gaze swept over to the void behind Xue Xian and he said, "Yang Yun and Yang Yan, you two have been hiding and watching for so long, it's time for you to come out!" "Since you sent Xue Xian here to die, watch closely as I slay him!" "After I've dealt with him, I have some words for you as well!" Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, many of the Supreme Divine Institute disciples were taken aback. Yang Yun and Yang Yan were there? Everyone turned their eyes to where Ye Chen was looking. And many God Kings were skeptical in their hearts. None of them had noticed Yang Yun and Yang Yan hiding, yet Ye Chen had; could it be that Ye Chen's observational skills were far superior to theirs? The next moment, their skepticism turned into sheer shock. Because they saw that at the place Ye Chen was staring, the void was indeed ripped open, revealing two figures. Those two figures were indeed Yang Yun and Yang Yan! The hearts of these God Kings were shaken; Ye Chen should not be regarded as an ordinary True God. His observational ability was alarmingly strong, even more formidable than that of the God Kings! Now exposed, Yang Yun and Yang Yan were also somewhat surprised that Ye Chen had detected them. However, they didn't think much of it. There were many auxiliary treasures that could help track someone's trail. They had seen Ye Chen's collection of treasures in the Nine Suns Ancient Land, so it was not impossible for him to possess something capable of detecting their presence. After Yang Yun and Yang Yan revealed themselves, they looked at Ye Chen with a sneer and said, "Ye Chen, it's good to see you unharmed." "After the Nine Suns Ancient Land, you've continuously surprised people by not only securing first place in the Nine Great Divine Institutes' assessment but also topping the True God Ranking List." "But this time, if you fight Xue Xian to the death, I'm afraid your renown will come crashing down! Because, in a fight with Xue Xian, you only have one path - death!" Hearing the words of Yang Yun and Yang Yan, Ye Chen scoffed, "Is that so? Then both of you watch closely!" "Once I'm done with this matter concerning Xue Xian, it'll be time to settle our accounts!" Yang Yun and Yang Yan locked eyes with Ye Chen, both releasing their murderous intent. Back in the Nine Suns Ancient Land at the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree, Yang Yun and Yang Yan had intercepted Mu Ling and Mu Xiao's attempt to rescue Ye Chen, allowing Qin Feng to act against Ye Chen, which led to a deadly feud between Ye Chen and Yang Yun and Yang Yan. Later, when Yang Yun and Yang Yan spread the news that he had slain Qin Feng, it provoked several Sovereigns of Divine Dragon Mountain to appear outside the Nine Suns Ancient Land, intent on personally executing Ye Chen. If it hadn't been for the Northern Territory King and Sovereign Xuechen's intervention, even if Ye Chen could have escaped from the Divine Dragon Mountain's Lord Qin Yuntian, those who rescued him, like the East Territory King, would have likely sustained some injuries. Understandably, Ye Chen harbored deep resentment towards Yang Yun and Yang Yan, who were meddling behind the scenes, and saw them as his mortal enemies. And on Yang Yun and Yang Yan's side, their hatred for Ye Chen was bone-deep as well. Originally, their enmity toward Ye Chen was because he had obtained the first goddess of the Supreme Divine Institute, Long Li, whom they had long dreamt of. Latter on, they grew even more envious of Ye Chen's unparalleled genius, wishing they could kill him and be done with it. Subsequent conflicts with Ye Chen caused the animosity between them to escalate continuously. Ye Chen refrained from acting against them because he was not yet capable of facing them, whereas they feared the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" he possessed and dared not move against him personally. At this moment, both sides confronted each other directly, bringing their grudges to the forefront in the arena! Although they were not life-and-death enemies, everyone could see that the root cause of the upcoming life-and-death battle between Xue Xian and Ye Chen originated from Yang Yun and Yang Yan. This made the atmosphere in the venue even more tense. Originally, the fact that Ye Chen was to battle Xue Xian had already astounded many Divine Institute disciples. They hadn't expected that Ye Chen would also have a major feud with Yang Yun and Yang Yan! These people did not know what had happened between Ye Chen and Yang Yun and Yang Yan in the Nine Suns Ancient Land. However, they could infer that, since Yang Yun and Yang Yan did not dare to confront Ye Chen in person and only sent Xue Xian, Ye Chen must possess something that made them apprehensive. Instantly, the way the crowd looked at Ye Chen changed significantly. At this point, they no longer saw Ye Chen as just the unparalleled true god who secured first place in the new disciples' examination of the Nine Divine Institutes and topped the True God Ranking List. They now fully regarded Ye Chen as someone who could stand up to the strongest God Kings! After all, Yang Yun and Yang Yan were none other than the first and third ranked existences on the God King List! Ye Chen dared to provoke them! And wasn't the slightest bit afraid! The confrontation between Ye Chen and Yang Yun and Yang Yan sent a shiver down Xue Xian's spine and even caused another high-ranking God King, who had been invited by Yang Yun and Yang Yan to confront Ye Chen and was hidden amongst the crowd, to feel fear. If Ye Chen wasn't afraid of Yang Yun and Yang Yan, why would he fear them? Could it be that Ye Chen genuinely had the ability to annihilate them? Xue Xian, for a moment, even hesitated about stepping onto the Platform of Life and Death. However, Ye Chen's keen eyes did not miss the change in Xue Xian's expression. Looking at Xue Xian, Ye Chen sneered and said, "What, are you having second thoughts now? But it's too late. If you don't dare to step onto the Platform of Life and Death, then you must agree to my three conditions!" "Fight him to the death!" Before Xue Xian could speak, Yang Yun spoke directly to him. Yang Yun even transmitted his voice to Xue Xian, "Ye Chen dares to talk like this because he's relying on that 'Blue Extreme Iceflame'; he must have thought of some way to deal with the backlash of the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame'." "But you can rest assured, the item I gave you can protect you from being killed by the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame' for a few moments. During these moments, you can easily kill Ye Chen!" "Go to the 'Platform of Life and Death' and kill Ye Chen, and I will hand over the supreme Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact as promised. I already have it with me, and once you kill him, the artifact is yours!" Yang Yun's words caused Xue Xian's gaze to flicker. Seeing Ye Chen's gaze toward him and the numerous Divine Institute disciples around him eagerly discussing, Xue Xian gritted his teeth and fiercely said to Ye Chen, "Backing out? You wish! Let's go to the Platform of Life and Death right now!" After saying this, Xue Xian swiftly flew toward the direction of the Platform of Life and Death. "It seems I can only go to the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion' after this matter is settled." Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head and also descended from the stairs leading to the "Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion," following Xue Xian and flying toward the Platform of Life and Death. The Platform of Life and Death was not far from the "Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion" and was an immense stone platform. In just a moment, Ye Chen, Xue Xian, Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and a large crowd of people swarmed toward the "Platform of Life and Death." A three-star Sovereign elder of the Supreme Divine Institute, responsible for the "Platform of Life and Death," was surprised when he heard that Ye Chen wanted to fight a life-and-death battle with Xue Xian. Clearly, this three-star Sovereign elder knew Ye Chen! This elder immediately sent a message to the deepest part of the land belonging to the institute, where Sovereign Xuechen resided, without anyone else's knowledge. Instantly, he received a reply from Sovereign Xuechen, who allowed Ye Chen to participate in the life-and-death battle. Clearly, Sovereign Xuechen was aware of this event! Unknown to all, Sovereign Xuechen's attention had been drawn to their location the moment Ye Chen and Xue Xian's conflict arose. Seeing Ye Chen's indifferent gaze, which was full of pressure when facing Xue Xian, Sovereign Xuechen was reassured. She had witnessed this kind of look in Ye Chen's eyes during the Nine Divine Institutes examination. And whenever that look appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, it signified that he was utterly confident in dealing with any crisis! Since Sovereign Xuechen had agreed to Ye Chen participating in the life-and-death battle, the three-star Sovereign elder naturally wouldn't obstruct anything. After stating some conventional rules of combat on the Platform of Life and Death, Ye Chen and Xue Xian, the two who were to fight to the death, stepped onto the platform. When the many Divine Institute disciples below saw the two actually fighting on the Platform of Life and Death, they all realized that things had gone too far, and both parties were bound to engage in a genuine fight to the finish. "Brother Ye Chen, don't participate in the life-and-death battle!" "Ye Chen, do not fight!" Just as everyone saw Ye Chen and Xue Xian standing on the platform, about to start the battle, they heard an extremely urgent shout coming from the void. Then, everyone saw the Little Provincial Princess, Mu Ling, Mu Xiao, and others, rushing frantically toward the Platform of Life and Death.
