Chapter 4296: Chapter 4296: Empress Descends? (Fifth Update)

She also wanted to seize the Gengjin Origin Talisman, but now that her skills were inferior to others, she had nothing to say.

After all, Ye Chen’s strength was much greater than hers.

This Gengjin Origin Talisman naturally belongs to the stronger.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Chen walked up to Yu Yingxue, reached out his hand, and tried to help her up.

Being able to successfully seize the Gengjin Origin Talisman this time was also thanks to Yu Yingxue’s earlier sacrifice.

"I’m fine."

Yu Yingxue’s expression was complex, but she eventually sighed and, with Ye Chen’s help, wobbly stood up.

Even though she had sacrificed earlier, Ye Chen was able to seize the Gengjin Origin Talisman more because of his own power, and she couldn’t complain.

After all, even the Golden Lion had pledged allegiance to Ye Chen, which showed how terrifying his power was.

"How did you end up here?"

Ye Chen was a bit curious, as the hiding place of the Gengjin Origin Talisman was very concealed, and he wondered how Yu Yingxue found her way there.

"The Green Armored Turtle guided me here. It’s a Source Beast, its origins are connected, and it captured the aura of the Gengjin Origin Talisman, calling me to seize it, but unfortunately..."

Yu Yingxue gestured, drawing back the injured Green Armored Turtle into herself, her eyes still carrying a hint of regret.

"I’m sorry, but the Gengjin Origin Talisman is mine now. I really need this Source Talisman. As compensation, when we return to the academy, how about I refine a batch of pills for you?"

Ye Chen shrugged, putting away the Gengjin Origin Talisman.

"No need. The Supreme Treasures of the world belong to the strong. You being able to get the Gengjin Origin Talisman is your fortune and opportunity, I have nothing to say. I’m just curious, what exactly is your identity?"

Yu Yingxue looked Ye Chen up and down, seemingly trying to see through him, but she couldn’t see anything.

"If I told you, I fear it might scare you to death. Let’s go."

Ye Chen smiled faintly, soundlessly placing the Golden Lion into the Netherworld Map and striding away.

Yu Yingxue staggered, dragging her injured body, and followed along.

Boom!

However, they hadn’t taken more than a few steps when suddenly, the surrounding void ignited explosively.

Fierce flames erupted from all directions, crashing down like magma, attacking the two of them.

These flames carried traces of the Reincarnation Energy and the brilliance of stars.

"Reincarnation Star Flame! Has Xuan Jiyue arrived?"

Ye Chen’s expression changed drastically, urgently pulling Yu Yingxue, dodging the attacks of the Reincarnation Star Flames, while simultaneously wielding the Slaughter Sword, swinging it like ink to ward off the invasion of the Star Flame heat.

"What do you mean Xuan Jiyue, you’re not seriously saying the Empress of the Upper Realm, are you?"

Yu Yingxue was startled, her pretty face turning pale.

The name of the Empress of the Upper Realm was as known to her as thunder in her ears.

Now that Ye Chen was saying Xuan Jiyue had arrived, she was naturally quite frightened.

Even at her peak, she wouldn’t have been a match for Xuan Jiyue, let alone now that she was gravely injured, losing her fighting capabilities.

"Heh heh, heh heh..."

Just then, a shrill cry of a night owl resounded.

Whoosh!

With a gust of wind, a gigantic Night Owl Giant Bird, with blood-red feathers and sinister ghost energy, hovered in the sky.

Its massive wings spread wide, blocking out the sunlight, casting a large shadow.

Streams of Reincarnation Star Flames continuously emitted from the Night Owl Giant Bird, spreading out to cover the land.

Within a range of tens of miles, everything was crushed by the Reincarnation Star Flames. The forest trees, cliff rocks, were all burned to ashes; entire spaces were incinerated, with countless nomological disturbances surging like the arrival of doomsday.

"Cold Blooded, Blood-devouring Ghost Owl!"

Ye Chen’s pupils shrank, the Night Owl Giant Bird in the sky turned out to be the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl from "Cold Blooded".

The one releasing the Reincarnation Star Flames was not Xuan Jiyue but the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl!

The Blood-devouring Ghost Owl flapped its wings, making drops of star flame roil like magma.

Amidst the swirling magma inferno, it descended from the sky, transforming into a thin silhouette.

Clad in a red robe, seemingly shrouded in ghost energy, with claws on its hands whose ten sharp talons exuded a chilling sharpness, also pulsating with the aura of Reincarnation Star Flames.

Behind it, a Star Flame Talisman was bursting out with brilliant divine light, the pale white Reincarnation Star Flames continually flowing out.

"Why does the Empress’s Token fall into his hands?"

Ye Chen was internally shaken, feeling that this Star Flame Talisman contained the blood essence spiritual energy of Xuan Jiyue, obviously forged with considerable effort.

If released, the actual body of Xuan Jiyue would also suffer damage.

The Blood-devouring Ghost Owl is Dishi Tian’s subordinate, yet it holds the Empress’s Token.

Clearly, Dishi Tian and Xuan Jiyue’s cooperation is becoming increasingly close, even treasures like the Star Flame Talisman can be traded.

Ye Chen felt heavy-hearted, realizing that by the time the Saint Slaughter Conference begins, the enemies he would face would not just be Dishi Tian. Behind him lies a Xuan Jiyue, truly an immense challenge.

"Heh heh, youngster, hand over the Gengjin Origin Talisman, and I can let you have an intact corpse!"

The Blood-devouring Ghost Owl stared at Ye Chen, not knowing his identity.

During the battle between Yu Yingxue, the Golden Lion, and when Ye Chen seized the Gengjin Origin Talisman, he had been hiding in the shadows, watching everything clearly.

However, this avatar of his only possessed early-stage Primordial Origin Realm strength, hence he didn’t act rashly.

Waiting for the Golden Lion to weaken, the Green Armored Turtle to be gravely injured, and Yu Yingxue to be severely hurt, he then launched a thunderous attack.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Ye Chen’s face changed; he hadn’t anticipated that the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl had been lurking in the shadows all along.

If it were a regular duel, he would have at least a 60-70% chance of slaying the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl.

After all, it’s just an avatar.

But the issue now is that the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl holds a Star Flame Talisman!

The Star Flame Talisman was constantly trembling, and streams of Reincarnation Star Flames emanated like volcanic magma, covering the earth fully in fierce fire, with no place to stand.

The Blood-devouring Ghost Owl was extremely cautious, using its trump card right away, giving Ye Chen no chance for a comeback.

Even the Golden Lion had been subdued by Ye Chen, so he dared not have any carelessness.

"Ye Chen, I... I’m in so much pain."

Yu Yingxue clutched onto Ye Chen’s arm, her delicate body teetering, her whole body drenched in fragrant sweat.

Gravely injured, she couldn’t withstand the scorching of the Reincarnation Star Flames, feeling as if she were about to explode, the pain immense.

Ye Chen’s expression changed, hurriedly supporting Yu Yingxue.

Yu Yingxue was the daughter of Yu Siye; if she died, Yu Siye would be heartbroken, and it would severely affect the layout of the Samsara Master.

Therefore, Ye Chen absolutely couldn’t watch her die.

"Rest a bit."

Without further ado, Ye Chen decisively placed Yu Yingxue into the world of the Netherworld Map.

With Ye Chen’s current level of cultivation, controlling the Netherworld Map was already very convenient. Without needing to intentionally summon it, he could take someone into the Netherworld with just a thought.

"Hmm?"

The Blood-devouring Ghost Owl was momentarily stunned upon seeing Yu Yingxue disappear.

"Now’s the chance!"

Seizing the moment of the Blood-devouring Ghost Owl’s distraction, Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold, immediately grasping the opportunity, tightly gripping the Slaughter Sword, and launched a sudden lethal attack.
