141: Chapter 141 The Northern Heavenly Continent is in an uproar! Cultivation breakthrough, second level of the Profound Realm!

The news of the True Dragon bombing the Monster Beast Mountain Range within the East State Empire spread across the entire North Heaven Province at an incredibly fast speed.

For a time, countless Martial Artists across the Four Great Dynasties of the North Heaven Province were shocked beyond measure.

A True Dragon was a powerful race among the Yao Beast clan, practically the Supreme King.

Within the entire Yao Beast clan, there were less than a handful that could be compared to a True Dragon.

That their North Heaven Province, a third-rate province only guarded by experts in the Saint Realm, would actually have a True Dragon appear was unbelievable.

The key point was that this True Dragon did not attack human territory.

Instead, it unleashed a terrifying destructive divine light upon its own Monster Beast Mountain Range.

It not only wiped out nearly half of the Yao Beasts in the Monster Beast Mountain Range but also severely injured the Sacred Beasts with Saint Realm cultivation.

While shocked, countless Martial Artists within the North Heaven Province who knew of this matter were filled with confusion.

They could not figure out why this happened or what caused it.

Unfortunately, this doubt of theirs was destined to remain unanswered.

The mystery of why the True Dragon appeared in the East State Empire and bombarded the Monster Beast Mountain Range with divine light was something only that True Dragon likely knew.

Time passed, and soon, a few hours went by, and the sky began to brighten.

After several hours of fermentation, the events of the early hours of last night became known to more people.

Inside East State City, countless citizens were whispering to each other, sharing their speculations.

But no matter how these citizens speculated, there was still no definitive conclusion about what happened last night.

Inside the palace, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, breathing in and out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside the Imperial Palace was no less than that of the Mountain River Holy Land.

The palace he was in was even inscribed with a large spirit-gathering array, making the Spiritual Qi even denser.

Not to mention that when cultivating, he also summoned many Spirit Stones and Heaven And Earth Treasures to assist him.

"Boom!"

Amidst a barely audible low rumble, the aura on Ye Chen's body suddenly surged.

He directly broke through from the First-Level Profound Void Realm to the Second-Level Profound Void Realm.

Cultivation Breakthrough, Second-Level Profound Void Realm!

"Hoo!"

Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.

"Not bad at all. A night of cultivation and I've broken through a level. Yesterday's battle was worth it after all."

In his battle with Gu Lingtian yesterday, although he hadn't used his full strength, he had gained some insights.

After spending the night digesting these insights, his cultivation had broken through as he had wished.

It is worth mentioning that while his spiritual power cultivation broke through.

His Physical Body cultivation also broke through from the Peak of the Fifth-Level Crossing Calamity Realm to the Sixth-Level Tribulation Crossing Realm.

His Divine Soul cultivation had not achieved a Breakthrough, but it had taken a few steps forward, reaching the Peak of the First-Level Manifest Saint Realm.

Given the power of the Divine Soul Cultivation Technique he practiced, the Supreme Law · Chaos God-Refining Art.

His Divine Soul cultivation at the Peak of the First-Level Manifest Saint Realm could at least rival the level of other Martial Artists in the middle or Late Stages of the Manifest Saint Realm.

He was not only touching the Saint Realm level in combat power now, but his cultivation was also steadily advancing!

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a slight buzzing sound rang out, and Ye Chen took out a communication token from his bosom.

Injecting a trace of spiritual power, a familiar deep voice came from the token.

"Ye Chen, come to the square quickly, it's time for us to depart!"

The owner of this voice was none other than their Mountain River Holy Land's Grand Elder, Jiang Wuji.

Hearing the voice fall by his ear, Ye Chen was slightly surprised.

Departing already?

Wasn't there still some time before the North Heaven Province Assembly began?

During this period, he had been prepared to properly tour East State City.

Unexpectedly, it had only been the second day, and they were already setting off for the North Heaven Province Assembly.

Shaking his head, Ye Chen didn't overthink it. After clearing the cultivation waste from the palace, he tore through the Void Realm and left.

Since he had been notified, he would go and see what was going on.

Changing the itinerary on short notice, there must have been some unexpected event.

Otherwise, how could such a grand event as the North Heaven Province Assembly be changed for no reason?

At the same time, on the square where the banquet was held last night, the figures of the princes, ministers, and the banquet had already disappeared.

On the vast square, only the Imperial family and the Prodigies of the Four Great Holy Lands were gathered together.

On the high platform, Saint Realm experts like Gu Yuan, Jiang Wuji, and Li Yuncang sat in mid-air, saying nothing.

Only the faint pressure belonging to Saint Realm experts naturally dissipated in all directions.

"Rip!"

A space was torn open, and Ye Chen's figure walked out slowly.

Glancing at the scene in front, his expression was slightly awkward.

"Everyone has already arrived. It seems I am the last one. Sorry to keep you all waiting."

He had been at a critical moment of Breakthrough just now and hadn't paid too much attention to other details.

When he arrived, he realized that in the time before, Jiang Wuji had already sent him dozens of messages.

Not just Jiang Wuji, even Ye Wushang had sent several messages.

Seeing Ye Chen's figure appear, many Prodigies subconsciously shifted their gazes over, paying attention.

Almost every Prodigy's eyes carried traces of awe.

Even Gu Lingtian, who had fought Ye Chen yesterday, had no dissatisfaction in his eyes.

When he went back to review the battle last night, he suddenly realized that Ye Chen hadn't used his full strength at all.

Because he heard that Ye Chen had another method to increase his own combat power.

His forte was not fist techniques, but sword techniques, and none of these were used during the battle.

Only that sword strike that secured the victory at the end could be considered a true display of his sword techniques.

If Ye Chen had gone all out, he feared he wouldn't have been able to last ten moves!

In mid-air, Jiang Wuji's expression softened slightly, but he still couldn't help but scold.

"You really have a lot of airs, making so many of us wait for you alone."

"It's good that you know you were wrong, you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he seemed to have noticed something, and his pupils shrank violently.

The next moment, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Your cultivation, you broke through again?"

He remembered very clearly that when they were rushing to East State City, Ye Chen had just broken through his Profound Void Realm cultivation.

How much time had passed now? Ye Chen's cultivation had already broken through from the First-Level Profound Void Realm to the Second-Level Profound Void Realm.

This... this... this... How could he not be shocked?!

Hearing Jiang Wuji's words, the four Saint Realm experts, Gu Yuan, Li Yuncang, Lei Qianjun, and Ma Xuan, also noticed this point.

However, the four of them could only show expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

They hated it!

Why wasn't such a monstrous Prodigy like Ye Chen one of their own?

Why was he in the Mountain River Holy Land where Old Man Jiang was?!

The admiration in Ye Wushang's eyes grew even stronger, and the fanaticism could not be covered up.

"As expected of Senior Brother Ye Chen, breaking through cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking!"

He had witnessed Ye Chen's cultivation soaring rapidly all the way.

When he first met Ye Chen, his cultivation was considered weak, and now he had already reached the Second-Level Profound Void Realm.

The other Prodigies could only shake their heads bitterly, unable to say anything.

Compared to a freak like Ye Chen, they had absolutely no comparability.

Although Ye Chen's cultivation was still far lower than theirs, they knew very well that Ye Chen's strength could not be encompassed by cultivation alone.

Breaking through from the First-Level Profound Void Realm to the Second-Level Profound Void Realm was another leap for Ye Chen's combat power!

Just in their hearts, there was also a strange, indescribable sense of anticipation.

They could no longer bear Ye Chen's Heaven-Defying talent.

When those guys from the other three Great Dynasties saw Ye Chen's monstrous nature.

Who knew what expressions those guys would show then?

Just thinking about that scene, they felt full of anticipation!
