Primordial Star Scripture

"Ye Chen, why do I sense a particularly unusual aura about you, like sword force, yet like blade force, and even more so like a terrifying thunder lightning slaughter power?"

As soon as she noticed Ye Chen landing in front of her, Sovereign Jia Lan immediately voiced her observation.

However, while she was speaking, this sensation disappeared, and Ye Chen's special aura completely dissipated, leaving no trace of abnormality.

"Sovereign Jia Lan, you truly live up to your reputation as a Seven-Star Sovereign. Your senses are incredibly sharp," said Ye Chen with a smile, "I have been cultivating a Divine Art recently and, in my haste, it seems the killing force from the Divine Art has not fully dispersed, which is why you could sense it."

"Cultivating a Divine Art?" Sovereign Jia Lan nodded.

"This Divine Art of yours must be extraordinary. I only sensed it for an instant, but I felt an indescribably strange impression, as if it's a killing force not belonging to our universe's Divine Arts."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm not sure how powerful this Divine Art actually is, but it should be quite decent. Perhaps after entering Heavenly God Mountain, I'll have a chance to try it out!"

Sovereign Jia Lan's intuition was not wrong.

The aura of the Divine Art revealed by Ye Chen just now was indeed the result of the Divine Art he had created over the past month in the Stars Tower.

Sovereign Jia Lan said she felt that the aura of this Divine Art was as if it did not belong to this universe, because it was a self-created Divine Art by Ye Chen. Furthermore, this self-created Divine Art was designed specifically to wield the Starry Origin power of those seven dazzling stars.

The Starry Origin power was left by the creator of the Primordial Star Scripture, "Zi Ji Star Lord," originating from the Cosmic Sea and, of course, does not belong to this universe!

Creating this Divine Art in just over a month is quite a short time.

Ye Chen has dubbed his self-created Divine Art "Origin Slash," and in this past month, he has just begun to create the first move.

Ye Chen designated this first move as "Origin Slash First Form."

This first form may not yet be called a fully-formed Divine Art, but when executed with the Starry Origin power, it has become yet another trump card in Ye Chen's arsenal.

Ye Chen has already tested the power of this first form, and among all his techniques, it ranks second only to the Divine Might of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," making it the second most powerful in Ye Chen's multitude of methods.

It's even more formidable than Ye Chen's current "Eternal God Body Earth Divine Pattern" technique and the "Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills" technique!

After all, the Eternal God Body Earth Divine Pattern technique and the Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills technique can only be executed with normal "Taiyi Divine Power."

But for Ye Chen's self-created "Origin Slash First Form," the power exerted surpasses normal Taiyi Divine Power, utilizing the far mightier Starry Origin power!

With this new trump card, Ye Chen even feels he might contend against true Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables.

Moreover, with "Blue Extreme Iceflame" at his disposal, defeating all Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables might not be impossible!

In such circumstances, Ye Chen feels an even greater confidence in venturing to Heavenly God Mountain.

After all, Ye Chen heard that among the Divine Kings from the four Great Divine Kingdoms presently here, the strongest top three Demon Level Divine Kings possess combat power at the level of Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables.

Even if they are exceedingly powerful among those with Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable-level combat power, they probably won't be a match for Ye Chen at his full strength.

As Ye Chen contemplated, Sovereign Jia Lan smiled and said to him, "Let's go, Ye Chen. It's time to meet up with the others who are heading to Heavenly God Mountain."

Ye Chen nodded, sealed up his dwelling, and then followed Sovereign Jia Lan to the gathering point.

...

The gathering point for this trip to Heavenly God Mountain is located in the very heart of the Divine King Disciples' residential continent at the Supreme Divine Institute.

At this moment, four hundred thousand Divine Kings from the four Great Divine Kingdoms have already converged on this central realm.

Apart from these Divine Kings from the four Great Divine Kingdoms, the local Martial Artists from the Mountain Divine Nation of Wanmu Mountain are also gathered here.

Apart from the top one hundred on the Great God Institute's God King List who earned the qualifications to go to Heavenly God Mountain, with over seventy people ready to explore, there are countless other Divine Kings from numerous other forces across Star Continent chosen by the nine Divine Institutes also granted the opportunity to go to Heavenly God Mountain.

The number of local Martial Artists from Wanmu Mountain's Mountain Divine Nation heading to Heavenly God Mountain is not less than any of those from the four Great Divine Kingdoms, with over one hundred twenty thousand Divine Kings from Mountain Divine Nation gathered here alone.

Together with the Divine Kings from the four other Great Divine Kingdoms, the total exceeds five hundred twenty thousand!

This crowd virtually packed the central realm to the brim, teeming with figures everywhere.

One small force from Mountain Divine Nation known as "Heavenly Dragon Sect" has brought three Divine Kings.

Among these three Divine Kings, two are Upper God Kings, while the other is a Middle God King.

As a smaller force within Mountain Divine Nation, the three currently find themselves squeezed at the periphery of the central realm.

After all, only the top hundred disciples from the Great God Institute's God King List and the formidable prodigies of other Great Divine Kingdoms, as well as Mountain Divine Nation's powerful forces, are able to stay in the core area of the central realm's void.

Or it's the brilliant Divine Kings from the other powerful forces of Mountain Divine Nation.

As a small power from the Mountain Divine Nation of Wanmu Mountain, the "Heavenly Dragon Sect" unexpectedly obtained quotas to travel to Heavenly God Mountain, with reservations that they could only squeeze in at the very edge.

One of the three God Kings from the "Heavenly Dragon Sect," an Upper God King, said, "We don't know if this trip to 'Heavenly God Mountain' will bring us fortune or misfortune."

"Though the chance to venture to Heavenly God Mountain is coveted by countless people, and our Sect received these three quotas seemingly by chance after helping an important person of the Divine Nation, it is said that out of ten thousand people who go, it is already good if even one survives."

"Given that over five hundred and twenty thousand people have gathered this time, I fear that less than fifty will live to leave 'Heavenly God Mountain' alive!"

"The vast majority will become cannon fodder, perishing within Heavenly God Mountain!"

"As a Junior God King from a small power like ours, we surely cannot compare to the disciples on the God King List from the nine Great God Institutes. I'm afraid we will become the cannon fodder!"

Another Upper God King, however, shook his head and said, "It cannot be said like that. Although the nine Great God Institutes sent only a little more than seventy people this time, far fewer than the combined forces of other powers from the Mountain Divine Nation, the majority of those who survive will undoubtedly be the talented God Kings from the Great God Institutes and those from other Divine Nations."

"But every time, there are God Kings from small powers who stumble upon astonishing fortunes and make great gains within Heavenly God Mountain. Perhaps this time, the great fortune will fall upon us!"

"This opportunity to explore 'Heavenly God Mountain' is extraordinarily precious, and we didn't obtain it easily. We must cherish it, even if we end up becoming cannon fodder and dying on Heavenly God Mountain, we must not give up!"

These words from the Upper God King caused the first Upper God King who spoke to nod in agreement: "I will certainly not give up on this chance, even if the possibility is slim, I must give it a try!"

"I just mean that, though the institutes sent fewer people, each one is an elite. Furthermore, the rumors say that among the four other Great Divine Kingdoms there are Demon Level exceptional talents amongst the God Kings. Most likely, those who ultimately survive will be the strong among them, leaving us with very slim hopes."

"Yes, this is also true," the other Upper God King agreed with a nod.

The two Upper God Kings from the Heavenly Dragon Sect kept talking, but the Middle God King beside them remained silent all along.

Upon noticing the silence from the Middle God King, the two Upper God Kings turned to him and asked, "Yan Nong, Junior Brother, why are you so quiet?"

"Junior Brother, don't worry about the journey to Heavenly God Mountain. Although you are only at the Middle God King Realm, you came to the Divine Nation from the lower realm, and were personally taken as a disciple by the leader of our Heavenly Dragon Sect. In just beyond two years, you have broken through from a Lower God King to a Middle God King. Perhaps this time you too could gain a great opportunity!"

Hearing the words of the two Upper God Kings, the Middle God King named Yan Nong spoke, "God King Mo Li, God King Fang Han, I'm not worried. After all, whether one can come back alive from Heavenly God Mountain depends on luck."

"I've been quiet because I wonder if there's a chance to see an old acquaintance at the Supreme Divine Institute."

"An old acquaintance?" Upon hearing Yan Nong's words, the God Kings Mo Li and Fang Han beside him were both taken aback, "What? Yan Nong, Junior Brother, you have an old acquaintance in the Supreme Divine Institute?"

Yan Nong nodded, "Yes, this old acquaintance of mine came to the Divine Nation from the lower realm a few years ago, just like me."

"Moreover, he is much younger than me and even more amazing. Back in the lower realm, I heard he would join one of the nine Great God Institutes."

"Before I came to the Divine Nation, I learned that he had successfully entered the strongest Supreme Divine Institute, and I saw his name on the God King List of the nine institutes."

"I don't know if the name is really his, or if it just happens to be someone with the same name!"

"When we parted a few years ago, he was at the Heavenly Saint Realm. If he's joined the Supreme Divine Institute, he must have reached the True God Realm by now. But just in a few years to say he has entered the God King Realm, and even ranked among the top few on the God King List, it all seems quite unbelievable!"

Yan Nong's words caused his companions to shake their heads repeatedly, "Coming to the Divine Nation from the lower realm a few years ago and being only a Heavenly Saint?"

"Even if he joined the Supreme Divine Institute, it must have been a strain, let alone climbing to the top ranks of the God King List. Don't bother looking; that influential figure among the top ranks of the God King List must be someone with the same name as your acquaintance, not the person you knew!"

God Kings Mo Li and Fang Han beside Yan Nong were definitive in their opinion.

Yan Nong sighed, "It's a pity that our Heavenly Dragon Sect is a small power and cannot get too much information about the nine Great God Institutes. We have only a copied God King List, so we know the ranking."

"Even the information about my acquaintance joining the Supreme Divine Institute was told to his family by an influential figure who went to the lower realm, which is how I knew."

"But given his wonder back in the lower realm, perhaps, he really could create such a miracle in the Supreme Divine Institute!"

As the three of them were talking, they saw a disturbance in the core area in front.

Even the formidable God Kings seated in the most central area of the void were all standing up as if on cue.

The trio also heard a wave of noisy voices reaching their ears: "Ye Chen is here!"

"Brother Ye Chen has finally arrived!"

"It's been a long time since we've seen Brother Ye Chen; he must be even more formidable now!"

"It's said that the strongest God King of the entire Mountain Divine Nation is him now, and that even the exceptional talents among the top ten God Kings from the other four Great Divine Kingdoms may not be stronger than him!"

In these noisy voices, the name "Ye Chen" was mentioned frequently and in unison.

"The old acquaintance I spoke of is called Ye Chen, has he arrived?" Yan Nong hurriedly looked in the direction where everyone standing was gazing.

Mo Li, the God King beside him, and Fang Han, the God King were both momentarily stunned and then hastened to look over: "This Ye Chen, could it be the person ranked seventh on the God King List? But he's only in the seventh position, why are almost everyone saying he is the strongest God King of the Mountain Divine Nation?"
