152: Chapter 152 The Mighty Heavenly Dragon Dynasty! They said they would leave no one alive, and they meant no one!

Didn't it mean he could directly threaten Saint Realm experts?

In the previous battle with the Imperial Brother, the combat power he displayed was already approaching the Saint Realm, which could be called the half-step Saint level.

Now his combat power has advanced even further, far surpassing a half-step Saint. If he's not a Saint, then what is he?!

Gu Li thought of this, and the shock in his heart grew even more intense.

Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the second level of the Profound Void Realm. Compared to before, he had achieved a Breakthrough of one level.

It was just a Breakthrough of one level in the Profound Void Realm, yet the increase in combat power was worlds apart.

Possessing combat power comparable to the Saint Realm while only at the Profound Void Realm... if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe it?!

Ye Chen noticed Gu Li's emotional fluctuations and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Is there any problem with the injuries on your body?"

This big dummy, could he have been beaten senseless by those three guys just now?

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Gu Li snapped back to his senses and shook his head subconsciously.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye Chen. My injuries are fine; they haven't touched my foundation."

He possessed the Barbarian Ghost Holy Body, and the recovery speed of his Physical Body was extremely fast.

The injuries he had just sustained had already recovered during his brief daze, with only one or two slightly more serious wounds remaining.

However, compared to the damage to his Physical Body, the blow to his psyche was far greater!

Ye Chen nodded slightly and fixed his gaze in one direction.

"Since there's no problem, let's go and regroup with the other Prodigies."

"Everyone must gather together before dark today to prevent anyone from being eliminated."

Hearing this, Gu Li's expression turned solemn, and he nodded seriously.

"I'll listen to you, Fellow Daoist Ye Chen!"

Indeed, if they didn't gather the others quickly, some might encounter the same situation he did.

Among all the Prodigies of the East State Empire, his combat power was at least at the upper-middle level, if not top-tier.

He had been in a wretched state facing the pincer attack of three people, let alone the accompanying Prodigies of the Four Great Holy Lands, excluding the number one Prodigy.

Ye Chen didn't delay. A surge of Chaotic Spiritual Power emerged from his palm, enveloping Gu Li's figure as they sped toward a starlight point on the compass.

That starlight point was the closest one to his current position.

Near that light point, there were two other starlight points, and the three points were converging toward each other.

This meant that the owners of these three starlight points were rapidly meeting up to find safety in numbers.

As long as he reached the nearest starlight point, he could regroup with three East State Empire Prodigies!

"Gulp!"

Gu Li swallowed again as he felt the scenery being constantly left behind.

This kind of speed... even if he used every ounce of strength he had, he couldn't even match half of it.

No wonder Ye Chen could arrive in an instant from such a distance just now.

With this kind of movement technique that could be called extreme speed, how could he not be fast?

Meanwhile, at the location of the starlight point Ye Chen was heading toward.

This place was no longer part of the plains and had transitioned into a range of rolling mountains.

Wan Lei sat cross-legged on a green rock, checking the compass from time to time.

Seeing four starlight points heading his way, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"At this rate, we'll be able to assemble a five-person team soon."

"In at most one or two hours, everyone scattered throughout the Xuantian Secret Realm will be gathered."

"This time, our East State Empire will surely break the previous shackles and push for first place in the assembly!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and began to adjust his breathing.

He had just encountered a Prodigy from the Heavenly Dragon Empire. After a battle, both sides were wary and retreated.

Fighting that Heavenly Dragon Empire Prodigy had put a lot of pressure on him.

Because he discovered that the Prodigy was not the top Prodigy of any Holy Land or the imperial family.

Rather, he was merely the second-ranked Prodigy of a place called the Yuelun Holy Land within the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

A second-ranked Prodigy of a Holy Land could fight him to a standstill; the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire was indeed not to be underestimated!

A moment later, two streaks of light descended from the sky from different directions.

Seeing Wan Lei sitting cross-legged not far away, both of their expressions lit up with joy.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Lei!"

"Senior Brother Wan Lei!"

Hearing the shouts, Wan Lei slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the newcomers, a smile also appeared on his face.

"So it's Fairy Mu Qiong and Li Yang. You didn't run into anyone from other Imperial Dynasties on your way here, did you?"

As he spoke, he stood up from the green rock and went to meet them.

Li Yang was another Prodigy from his Fenglei Holy Land who had come to participate in the North Heaven Province Assembly.

Mu Qiong looked at the torn corner of her skirt and smiled bitterly.

"Unfortunately, I ran into a guy from the Blood Martial Empire on the way. He seemed to be the top Prodigy of some Imperial Dynasty."

"Fortunately, he wasn't fast, so I was able to escape him and come here to meet you, Fellow Daoist Wan Lei."

Li Yang scratched his head and gave a simple smile.

"I didn't run into anyone else. I only encountered a third-level Tribulation Crossing Realm Vicious Beast along the way."

"It seems my luck is good to be able to meet Fairy Mu Qiong and Senior Brother Wan Lei here."

With the top Prodigies of two Great Holy Lands gathered together, his safety was somewhat guaranteed.

Just then, a light chuckle drifted down from the sky.

"Oh? So it's the three of you. However, there's a lingering aura of battle nearby. Was there a fight here just now?"

Before his voice had even faded, Ye Chen landed in front of the three with Gu Li.

When Wan Lei, Mu Qiong, and Li Yang saw Ye Chen, expressions of surprise and joy instinctively appeared on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Chen!"

They hadn't expected to regroup with Ye Chen less than half an hour after entering the Xuantian Secret Realm.

With Ye Chen by their side, it would be difficult for them to be eliminated this time!

Ye Chen nodded with a smile, his eyes narrowing as he looked at a patch of ruins in the distance.

There was a lingering aura of the Power of Profound Truth there, which he had sensed from afar.

Although it was unstable and had only just reached the level of the Power of Profound Truth...

Ultimately, it still belonged to the category of the Power of Profound Truth.

Seeing this, Wan Lei quickly spoke up.

"I did indeed run into a guy from the Heavenly Dragon Empire just now. His cultivation wasn't high, only at the sixth level of the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

"He seemed to be the second-ranked Prodigy of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Yuelun Holy Land, but that guy had actually comprehended the Power of Profound Truth."

"Relying on the Power of Profound Truth and his sixth-level Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivation, I was unable to take him down for a while."

"Seeing that things weren't going his way, he cautiously left. Since I was waiting for you all to arrive, I didn't bother to chase him."

Comprehended the Power of Profound Truth at the sixth level of the Tribulation Crossing Realm?

Hearing Wan Lei's words, the expressions of Mu Qiong, Li Yang, and Gu Li all turned solemn, and their gazes instinctively became heavy.

The Heavenly Dragon Empire? As expected of an Imperial Dynasty supported by a Saint King-level power.

This time, if the East State Empire didn't have Ye Chen, they might truly have been unable to challenge its authority!

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze from the distance and nodded in understanding.

It seemed their biggest competitor this time would be the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

However, even if the Heavenly Dragon Empire was powerful, it couldn't stop his East State Empire from taking first place.

Since he had come to participate in this North Heaven Province Assembly, he was determined to take first.

Otherwise, when his cultivation reached a higher level in the future and he thought back on this, he would find it embarrassing!

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen steadied his mind, looked at everyone, and said in a low voice.

"Gather everyone else within two hours."

"After that... we will start hunting mode!"

The Blood Martial Empire has five Holy Land-level powers. Including the imperial family, there are twelve Prodigies in total.

He had only killed three just now, so nine remained in the Xuantian Secret Realm.

Not a single person from the Blood Martial Empire shall remain. He... would keep his word!"],"new_glossary_terms":[{"zh":" Imperial brother","en":"Imperial Brother","entity_type":"person","gender":"male"},{"zh":" Liyang","en":"Li Yang","entity_type":"person","gender":"male"},{"zh":" Moon Wheel Sanctuary","en":"Yuelun Holy Land","entity_type":"organization","gender":"neutral"},{"zh":" Holy King","en":"Saint King","entity_type":"class","gender":"neutral"}]}
