Chapter 1024 - 1023: Two Fattys, Ambush on the Road!
The token in Ye Chen’s hand vibrated, and a transmission sounded.
"Kid, you have enough guts. It’s not impossible to keep Xu Tiandao alive, but it depends on how you complete the task for me!"
Ye Chen: "Do a task for you? You’re just a messenger for the First Generation Coffin!"
First, figure out the identity of the person speaking with him before proceeding.
Token transmission: "Don’t play tricks here. I won’t fall for it again since you got me last time!"
Ye Chen pursed his lips. This guy is quite cautious, so he said, "I already completed the last task you gave me, but where’s the benefit you promised me?"
Inside the First Generation Celestial Burial Coffin.
The old man smiled.
This kid is getting more and more cunning.
The messenger he sent to contact Ye Chen last time said nothing at all.
Smiling, the old man continued transmitting, "Recently, there have been changes in the celestial phenomena. Soon, there may be a massive downfall of stars, during which the Heaven-Burying Coffin will be greatly restricted. So, I have a small matter for you to handle."
Ye Chen: "..."
The transmitting guy is smart, continually avoiding the question.
But... it also feels kind of foolish to proactively expose that the Heaven-Burying Coffin might be restricted due to celestial changes...
What’s going on?
Is it a trap calculation?
Ye Chen: "What matter?"
"Make a trip to the forbidden zone. I’ll arrange for someone to escort you into the headquarters of one of the Evil Spirit Emperors, and you’ll help retrieve something."
Ye Chen: "That’s not a small matter. I’m currently weak; any Emperor Realm could crush me. Why don’t you give me some protection treasures?"
"I said I’d arrange for someone to take you in. Once the task is done, I’ll release Xu Tiandao. If you fail, you’ll handle it yourself."
Ye Chen: "Okay, I’m busy with other things now. Contact you when I have time."
With that, he directly threw the token into his Storage Ring, then took out the token given by the Sixth Generation Coffin, and transmitted: "The First Generation Coffin wants me to go to the forbidden zone in a while and steal something from an Evil Spirit Emperor."
A moment later, a voice came from inside the token: "Which Evil Spirit Emperor? Steal what?"
"I don’t know. I’ve already forwarded the message. What about my benefits?"
"In a few days, someone will deliver the benefits to you. Keep an eye on the First Generation Coffin’s side, and report to me immediately if there’s any movement!"
Ye Chen: "Okay!"
On an island shrouded in terrifying power.
The wealthy Fatty who represented the Sixth Generation Coffin to contact Ye Chen previously was accompanied by a little Fatty.
"Master..." The little Fatty smiled and called.
The wealthy Fatty turned around and gave the little Fatty a fierce glare, saying, "Brat, I didn’t agree to accept you as a disciple. If you keep calling me randomly, I’ll take your life immediately!"
The little Fatty chuckled, saying, "Once the master sees me, he immediately takes me away. The destined master-disciple bond cannot be blocked."
The wealthy Fatty snorted coldly, saying, "I brought you back just to have a runner to handle some trivial matters."
Little Fatty: "I’m willing to be at the master’s beck and call!"
The wealthy Fatty stared at the little Fatty, coldly laughing.
The little Fatty shivered from the chill.
The wealthy Fatty took out a jade bottle and threw it to the little Fatty, saying, "In a few days, find a guy named Ye Chen and give this to him. Remember, don’t say anything when you see him; hand over the item and leave immediately."
The little Fatty was startled, saying, "Is it that arrogant, unreasonable man from the Body Alliance, Ye Chen?"
"Yes."
The little Fatty’s small bean-like eyes squinted, saying, "Master, what if he tries to kill me? I’m not afraid of death, but it’s rare for the master to find a destined person like me. If I’m dead, it would be troublesome for the master to find another runner."
The wealthy Fatty stared at the little Fatty, coldly laughing, saying, "I just randomly picked you up. You’re taking yourself too seriously. Anyway, since you’re running errands for me, I’ll give you something to protect yourself from being killed by others from the Celestial Burial Sea halfway."
With that, the wealthy Fatty threw a jet-black orb out.
The little Fatty caught it, saying, "Master, how do I use it?"
"This was refined using power extracted from a decayed divine corpse. When you encounter enemies, throw it; below the Emperor Realm, it guarantees a wide area death zone. Generally, if you aim accurately in the Emperor Realm, they’re not dead; they’re gravely injured." The wealthy Fatty said.
The little Fatty was so frightened his hand shook, quickly putting it away carefully, saying, "Master, Ye Chen is a cunning person. When we hand things to him, shouldn’t we tamper? Otherwise, it might be inconvenient to control him in the future!"
This time, the wealthy Fatty showed a smile of approval, saying, "Kid, you’re quite brainy. What you can think of, you really think I couldn’t? As long as Ye Chen uses what I give him, normally it’s fine. But if I act, he becomes my puppet entirely!"
The little Fatty immediately flattered, saying, "Master, you’re wise!"
The wealthy Fatty waved, saying, "Seeing that you can talk well, I’ll give you a chance. Do well, and I might take you as a disciple if I’m in a good mood. Go on now!"
The little Fatty immediately bowed, saying, "Rest assured, master, I will ensure it’s done beautifully!"
......
"Splash, splash!"
The waves were surging and roaring.
At this time, Ye Chen had already left a remarkably far distance from Divine Mirror Island.
On the way there, Celestial Cauldron Emperor led the way, so his speed naturally was swift; now, returning by himself would take considerable time.
Just then.
A loud boom sounded.
Above Ye Chen, thunder clouds suddenly gathered, and a thunderbolt with a diameter of dozens of yards struck from the thunder clouds.
The tyrannical force shattered vast swathes of space.
The thunderbolt locked onto Ye Chen’s aura, seemingly wanting to obliterate him.
Facing this sudden assassination attack, Ye Chen remained calm, having prepared for it when he left Divine Mirror Island.
After all, Ten Thousand Islands Sect and Celestial Child Divine Island had issued kill orders against him, plus he killed many on Divine Mirror Island, surely inviting loads of revenge.
As the terrifying thunderbolt was about to strike Ye Chen.
"Whoosh!"
Ye Chen instantly unsheathed his sword, the sword light dazzling like a galaxy, slashing upward, splitting the thunderbolt in two.
"Cowardly rat, since you sneak around, no need to show yourself!" Ye Chen shouted, his eyes cold and fierce, Celestial Mark Sword sweeping again, tearing through space, entering the Endless Void.
"Ah!"
A sound of a miserable cry was heard.
Between heaven and earth, the law vibrated intensely. Clearly, a Great Saint, hidden in the void, was slain by Ye Chen before even revealing himself!
The Martial Arts Divine Eye proved useful.
The opponent was quite concealed, yet couldn’t evade the insight of the Martial Arts Divine Eye!
Ye Chen stood in mid-air, his aura domineering.
"Before trying to kill me, better weigh your abilities. For me, killing in the Saint Realm is like picking something out; better send a few Emperor Realms, otherwise, it’s really dull."
In the Celestial Burial Sea, a Saint Realm is considered a strong entity.
However, Ye Chen now has the confidence to overlook even Great Saints!
"Ye Chen, you’re quite confident. Since you want Emperor Realms to step up to kill you, let me fulfill your wish!" A loud voice, and a short-bearded old man, came stepping upon the waves directly in front of Ye Chen, giant waves rising, impacting mid-air, holding the old man’s feet.
Next, another burst of laughter resounded from the void, "Celestial Blade Emperor is dead, Celestial Cauldron Emperor went to Martial Alliance to deal with the aftermath, Emperor Mutian is still alive but hasn’t appeared, you’re miles away from Divine Mirror Island here, Ye Chen, today you’ve no escape!"
Speaking was a middle-aged man who charged out from the void, standing behind Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, you’re too flamboyant. ’The tree that stands out will be destroyed by the wind.’" A beautiful woman flashed into appearance to Ye Chen’s left side.
"My brother went to Divine Mirror Island and got killed by you. I swore upon getting word that I must take your life to avenge my brother." The fourth Emperor Realm old man appeared, blocking Ye Chen’s right side.
Front, back, left, and right, each had an Emperor Realm, sealing all escape possibilities for Ye Chen!
Yet Ye Chen’s face showed no trace of fear, brimming instead with a fighting spirit.
Having previously killed Emperor Realms, many times over,
But... either planning or slaying gravely injured and dying ones.
Today, it’s head-on, straight up; still killing Emperor Realms!
Once... killing four!
