808 Life And Death Chamber (1/2)
Leaving Gemstones Islands, Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng headed straight south. A trillion miles in that direction was a place Battle King once visited, and that was precisely the reason he had come to Southern Ocean. He wished to see if everything was the same as he'd seen in Battle King's memories.
The night passed, and Murong Qingcheng had already branded her soul imprint on the Purple Flame Demonic Gloves. At this moment, the pair of gloves was flickering with a purple flame, which was the glove's own power and was highly corrosive.
Along the outline of the purple flames, a dim black circular vein floated as well. This dark halo was the manifestation of the dark power, which would allow a dark-attributed martial artist to greatly amplify its effect. As for how big this amplification was, it could only be tested through battle.
A thousand li behind them, a dark light stream streaked across. Its speed was such that even describing it as lightning was not enough.
”What's mine will be mine.” Amidst the dark radiance, Darklight King's face was devoid of any expression.
Boom! His speed once again increased, the flickering light seeming like a star hopping about.
”He's here!” Ye Chen sensed the powerful shockwave coming from behind him. Turning around, he and Murong Qingcheng stood in wait.
Whiz!
A black light flickered, and Darklight King arrived ten li across them.
”You sure have the guts to not use your full speed.” The Darklight King was somewhat astounded. There was not too much of a difference between the speeds of half-step Kings usually. Although he had the confidence to catch up to them eventually, he didn't expect to do so quickly.
”Why would we? We were expecting you, after all. Fortunately, you didn't disappoint.” Ye Chen said indifferently.
”Impudent!” Blacklight King was enraged by Ye Chen's attitude, and the dark light surrounding his body erupted forth like a huge black sun. The powerful shockwaves created enormous waves on the ocean down below.
”Ye Chen, let me!” Murong Qingcheng strode out.
”Sounds good! A perfect opportunity for you to try out the Shadow Armor and Purple Flame Demonic Gloves.” Ye Chen faintly nodded.
With the Shadow Armor, Murong Qingcheng could even stand invincible before a veteran 'strongest' half-step King, while her offensive power had surpassed the vast majority of half-step King with the Purple Flame Demonic Gloves, and could rival that of the 'strongest' half-step Kings. When these two factors were combined, even Ye Chen couldn't guess how strong she really was. This was because even he himself had yet to exchange blows with a 'strongest' half-step King in an all-out fight.
”Hehe, you're sending your woman to death. Don't think I won't be able to do anything to her because she has the Shadow armor and Purple Flame Demonic Gloves. You will never be able to understand the power of a 'strongest' half-step King.” Darkflame King laughed in spite as the black light around him turned even more intense, becoming dazzling. A black light arc swept through hundreds of li of the surroundings.
”The fight is about to begin.” A thousand li away, a lot of people were rushing over, including Huang Mei, Yue Lingshuang, Red Flame King, head steward, and some half-step Kings who knew what was about to happen. Huang Mei was the quickest; her yellow light beam covered more than a hundred li with every flicker. Red Flame was next; covered in flames, he seemed like a dazzling meteorite streaking across.
The head steward came with a crew of four other half-step Kings, and his thoughts were anybody's guess. Their speed was exceptional, indicating that all of them were first rate half-step Kings. Meanwhile, Yue Lingshuang didn't push her speed to the limit as she flew along with Yue Bingxin, heading straight toward the black sun.
”Sister-in-law, hurry up!” Yue Bingxin was anxious, continuously increasing her speed.
”I'm going as fast as you!” Yue Lingshuang smiled bitterly. She put her arm across Yue Bingxin's shoulder and a silvermoon whitefox's phantom suddenly appeared her.
Swish! Her speed suddenly doubled, seemingly streaking across the void and looking terrifying.
A group of twenty people shot towards the battle scene one after another. The three at the battle scene also sensed their arrival and all glanced in that direction.
”We forgot about Yue Bingxin.” Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had left in a hurry. They had met Yue Bignxin in the auction, but didn't meet her before leaving.
”Young master Ye, this person is too strong. Let my sister-in-law help you!” From afar, Yue Bingxin's Zhen Yuan transmission entered Ye Chen's ears.
”Many thanks for your kind intentions, but it's not necessary.” Ye Chen mildly declines her.
Yue Bingxin said anxiously, ”Strongest' half-step Kings are not as simple as you think. They have already refined their bone marrow with Zhen Yuan.”
One could attain the half-step King realm by refining blood channels with Zhen Yuan. When all three kinds of blood channels had been filled with Zhen Yuan, one could then channel Zhen Yuan into the bone marrow. Once this step was accomplished, the Zhen Yuan would turn incomparably rich and pure in comparison to before. At this point, be it martial skills or soul, everything attained a new height, making one fall in the 'strongest' half-step King category.
”I know.” How could Ye Chen not know the superiority of 'half-step Kings? Merely the disparity of Zhen Yuan required extraordinary means to be supplemented.
