Stunned!

At this moment, Ye Chen was completely stunned.

He finally understood why Ouyang Xue's attitude towards him had changed so dramatically.

It turned out she had misunderstood him.

He disappeared for ten days to enter the Canglan Mountain Range to hunt Tier Two Demon Beasts and acquire Evolutionary Power.

However, Ouyang Xue mistakenly believed he had given up on himself, which led to her disappointment in him.

"Ye Chen, I originally thought you were a very strong person who wouldn't give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope! Unfortunately, I was wrong about you, I never expected you to be so weak." Ouyang Xue said with extreme disappointment, then turned and walked into the palace.

At this moment, her mood could be described as the greatest sorrow being a dead heart.

She had such high expectations for Ye Chen, but in the end, this was the result.

This truly broke her heart.

"Teacher Ouyang." Ye Chen's body instantly froze in place, wanting to explain to Ouyang Xue, but not knowing what to say.

The matter of hunting Tier Two Demon Beasts couldn't be casually revealed, otherwise, his secrets could be exposed at any time.

So, he ultimately chose silence.

"Three days later, I will definitely slay Duanmu Jie to prove I'm not giving up." Looking at Ouyang Xue's slightly desolate back, Ye Chen couldn't help but clench his fist and swear silently in his heart.

Now, whatever he said was useless.

Only strength could prove everything.

Half an hour later.

A steward from the War King Hall led a group of students from the hall, bringing a number of large wooden boxes to Ye Chen's residence.

These boxes were filled with Ordinary Spirit Stones, as many as fifty thousand.

They piled up like a small mountain.

"Hmph! This Ye Chen is at death's door, doesn't know why he wants so many Spirit Stones? No matter how many Spirit Stones he has, they can't save his life."

"He only has three days left to live, maybe he's planning to squander them." The group of students whispered quietly in secret, eyes filled with disdain.

To them, no matter how hard Ye Chen tried, he couldn't possibly defeat Duanmu Jie.

Whatever he did now was just a futile struggle.

"Finally got my hands on fifty thousand Spirit Stones." Ye Chen looked at the mountain-like pile of Spirit Stones, his eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.

With these fifty thousand Spirit Stones, he could cultivate the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm.

However, he had already entered the Human Emperor's Space once today, so he could only wait until tomorrow to enter again.

"Master, you can first store these fifty thousand Spirit Stones into the Myriad Dao Space and convert them into pure energy. Tomorrow you can use them to refine your body." The Tower Spirit smiled slightly.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded.

In the depths of his Dantian, a golden vortex hovered, containing countless tiny stars, like a miniature nebula, incredibly awe-inspiring.

This was the Myriad Dao Space that Ye Chen had condensed.

Hiss hiss hiss.

As Ye Chen operated the "Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique", the Myriad Dao Space in his Dantian began to rotate rapidly, with a terrifying Devouring Power surging out from within.

Subsequently, the fifty thousand Spirit Stones placed in front of Ye Chen were engulfed by this power, disappearing without a trace.

"The Myriad Dao Space is indeed domineering, to swallow so many Spirit Stones at once." Ye Chen couldn't help but marvel.

If these fifty thousand Spirit Stones were absorbed by an ordinary True Qi Realm Cultivator, even a hundred years wouldn't be enough to absorb them all.

But the Myriad Dao Space could instantly transform them into pure energy, stored deep within the space.

This method was truly astounding.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen once again entered the Human Emperor's Space and began refining his Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body according to the "Myriad Dao Human Emperor Technique".

Hiss hiss hiss.

As he unleashed the power of Exquisite Purple Ice, a piercing Cold Qi permeated through every corner of Ye Chen's body, almost freezing him into an ice sculpture.

Though Ye Chen's Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body now had formidable Defense Power, it still struggled to resist this Cold Qi.

This is why refining the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Second Level of Dragon Elephant Realm requires the use of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to refine the body.

Because ordinary energy couldn't refine Ye Chen's body anymore.

Ah!

A sudden and incredibly piercing scream emanated from Ye Chen's mouth, chilling to the bone.

He felt as if every blood vessel and meridian in his body were being shattered by the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice, the pain akin to ten thousand swords piercing his heart.

If not for Ye Chen's immensely strong willpower, he would have probably fainted long ago.

Zzz.

As Ye Chen's physical body reached a certain level of harm from the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice, an incomparably pure force stored in the depths of the Myriad Dao Space surged forth, flowing through every corner of Ye Chen's body like a warm current.

Under the nourishment of this force, the injuries on Ye Chen's body healed at an astonishing speed, returning to their immaculate state.

Moreover, Ye Chen could clearly feel that after his injuries healed, his physical power had significantly increased.

However, before Ye Chen could rejoice, another terrifying surge of cold qi flowed out from the Exquisite Purple Ice, once again tempering Ye Chen's body.

This pain was utterly indescribable; even more excruciating than when cultivating the Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.

"Suffer hardship to succeed, as long as I can become stronger, I must endure any pain, or else how will I avenge my parents in the future." Ye Chen gritted his teeth tightly, producing an ear-piercing grating sound, as if they might shatter at any moment.

Due to the pain, his facial features twisted together, looking especially menacing.

Yet, he did not stop tempering his body, instead driving the power of the Exquisite Purple Ice more vigorously, permeating it into every corner of his body.

Thus, every time Ye Chen's body was on the verge of collapsing, the pure energy within the Myriad Dao Space would autonomously surge forth to nourish his body, making it stronger and stronger.

Soon after, a layer of black filth appeared on his skin, emitting a pungent stench, those were the impurities expelled from his body.

Without these impurities, his body could become more and more flawless.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen had been cultivating in the Myriad Dao Space for two days and two nights.

And the day of his duel with Duanmu Jie finally arrived.

Buzz.

At this time, Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged within the Human Emperor's Space, his entire skin exuding a faint golden divine light, giving him an aura of solemn majesty, like a War God descending from ancient times.

Under the tempering of the Exquisite Purple Ice, he had shed three layers of skin, the defense power of his body reaching an incomparably terrifying level, as if forged from Divine Gold.

"Breakthrough for me." At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling golden light shot out from the depths of his eyes, and a lofty dragon roar echoed from within him, the sound shaking the heavens, causing even the earth and sky to tremble.

If this place weren't the Human Emperor's Space, that dragon roar could have instantly spread throughout the entire Celestial Flame Academy, heard by everyone.

Luckily, the Human Emperor's Space could isolate everything, no matter how great the disturbance, it wouldn't reach the outside.

"Success, Master, congratulations on cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Dragon Elephant Realm." The Tower Spirit beside him, spoke with immense excitement.

After two days and nights of arduous cultivation, Ye Chen finally reached the Dragon Elephant Realm in the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body, and the power of the five hundred thousand Spirit Stones stored in the Myriad Dao Space was thoroughly absorbed by his body.

Roar.

As Ye Chen's Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body broke through to the Dragon Elephant Realm, an incredibly astonishing vision appeared within the Human Emperor's Space.

A terrifying beast, larger than a star, stood roaring in the starry sky, its sonic waves pulverizing countless stars into dust.

The golden divine light emanating from it was more dazzling than the sun, dispelling the darkness within tens of thousands of miles around.

This terrifying beast was indeed the legendary Dragon Elephant.

It is said that the Dragon Elephant is a descendant of a True Dragon and an ancient Divine Elephant, born with immense strength, possessing the Power of a Thousand Tigers.

Moreover, an adult Dragon Elephant is infinitely stronger than a young one, able to effortlessly massacre living beings.

Perhaps this is also why the Supreme Human Emperor named the second realm of the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body as the Dragon Elephant Realm.

Buzz.

After quite some time, the celestial vision within the Human Emperor's Space began to fade away.

Yet, Ye Chen discovered a mysterious golden pattern appearing on his arm, resembling a minuscule True Dragon.

"Master, this is the Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern, a single Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern signifies possessing the strength of a young Dragon Elephant. Once you activate the Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern, you can instantly unleash the power of a young Dragon Elephant, with body defense comparable to it." The Tower Spirit spoke with excitement.

He had been anticipating this day for a long time.

Ye Chen cultivating the Myriad Dao Human Emperor Body to the Second Layer Dragon Elephant Realm not only allowed him the power of a young Dragon Elephant, but more importantly, it greatly enhanced his survival capability.

The defense power of his body now is probably more terrifying than many Tier Three Demon Beasts.

Even a Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm expert could scarcely harm him.
