Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

The medicinal power within the Five-Elements Pill was growing palpably richer, its aura astonishing. There were even cloud-like patterns spreading across its surface!

From a distance, it looked just like an Immortal Pill left behind in the mortal realm by an Immortal, a truly breathtaking sight!

Kunlun Shangxian, watching from the side, couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.

’This kid is so young, yet he’s already forged such a powerful foundation. Even his Alchemy Skill is a cut above the rest.’

Kunlun Shangxian’s interest in Ye Chen grew even stronger.

He was very curious just how many fortuitous encounters the boy had experienced to get this far.

While Kunlun Shangxian was lost in thought, the Chaos Suppression Cauldron suddenly jolted. The ball of light within it burst like a brilliant firework, exploding into countless specks of light!

”Did the Alchemy fail this time?” Kunlun Shangxian frowned slightly.

But in the next moment, his gaze sharpened.

He saw Ye Chen raise his hand and gently tap the Chaos Suppression Cauldron.

The Chaos Suppression Cauldron swayed slightly, and a suction force suddenly spread out, absorbing all the scattered specks of light and merging them back into the glowing orb.

Amidst a startling wave of Spiritual Power, the ball of light slowly dissipated, revealing ten perfectly round pills resting within the cauldron.

Each pill was covered in layer upon layer of cloud-like patterns. A faint mist suffused with Immortal Aura drifted from them, and they emitted astonishing fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

Even though Kunlun Shangxian knew nothing about the art of Alchemy, he could still sense just how terrifyingly powerful this batch of pills was.

’Is this a Pseudo-Immortal Pill?’

Ye Chen took a deep breath. As the pervading mist entered his nostrils, he felt the flow of Spiritual Power within his body instantly quicken.

These ten Pseudo-Immortal Grade Five-Elements Pills should be enough to support his cultivation all the way to the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Ye Chen didn’t hesitate. Having decided to break through here and now, he immediately placed a Five-Elements Pill in his mouth.

The Five-Elements Pill melted the instant it touched his tongue. An incredibly pure energy flowed down Ye Chen’s throat, quickly transforming into a warm current that circulated through the meridians of his entire body.

After all, the pill had been refined using his own bone and blood. Coupled with the Qi of Chaos from the Chaos Suppression Cauldron, its compatibility with Ye Chen was undoubtedly astonishing.

At this moment, every cell in Ye Chen’s body was cheering with joy!

An unimaginably vast amount of energy was frantically absorbed by Ye Chen’s body! His Spiritual Power aura skyrocketed in response!

BOOM!

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from within Ye Chen’s Dantian.

He had been suppressing his cultivation all this time, so now, under the effects of the Five-Elements Pill, the breakthrough was only natural.

Suddenly, the phantom of a golden Spiritual Sea materialized behind Ye Chen!

Within the surging golden waves, something seemed to be on the verge of rising up.

”This Spiritual Sea... it’s actually golden?!” Watching the scene unfold, Kunlun Shangxian’s face was filled with astonishment.

He had never seen a golden Spiritual Sea before.

He could only feel that the young man before him held too many secrets; even an existence of his caliber was shocked.

’Primordial Mansion, condense for me!!!’

Ye Chen roared in his mind.

’With the help of the Pseudo-Immortal Grade Five-Elements Pill, I must condense my Primordial Mansion to Nine-Star or higher this time!’

’Only then can I forge the ultimate cultivation foundation!’

Finally, within the golden Spiritual Sea, the phantom began to solidify.

But to Kunlun Shangxian’s surprise, the solidifying phantom didn’t look like an ordinary Cultivator’s Primordial Mansion.

It would be more appropriate to call it a tower!

A pagoda, completely shrouded in white light, rose from the Spiritual Sea. Its body was wreathed in a dense Qi of Chaos, and on each of its floors, a star of glittering gold was inscribed!

Behind the pagoda, a boundless, starry sky seemed to stretch out. Supreme phantoms of gods and demons even traversed the void to stand atop the tower, gazing proudly over the world and looking down upon all living things!

An utterly terrifying aura circulated around Ye Chen!

Even with all his experience, Kunlun Shangxian had never seen or heard of such an astonishing phenomenon!

Amidst the surging, violent Spiritual Qi, the twelve stars on the twelve-story pagoda behind Ye Chen lit up one by one. They shone as brilliantly as the scorching sun, erupting with a shocking blast wave.

Even the surrounding starry sky seemed to be affected, sending out endless ripples.

’It is said that those who can condense a Primordial Mansion of seven stars or more are already paragons among men, their talent unparalleled, dominating all ages. They are qualified to be the Sacred Sons and Saintesses of the great sects in the Sacred Lands!’

’Those who condense an eight-star Primordial Mansion are even rarer, practically unheard of throughout history. Looking back thousands of years, you might not find a single super-prodigy with such aptitude!’

’As for a Nine-Star Primordial Mansion... that truly exists only in legends. Perhaps one might appear once every few tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of years!’

Kunlun Shangxian’s expression was grave, a strange light flickering in his deep eyes. ’But what in the world is a Twelve-Star Primordial Mansion like this? I’ve never even heard of such a thing!’

Indeed. Accompanied by all sorts of ancient and mystical phenomena, the twelve brilliant stars on the pagoda behind Ye Chen were so dazzling their light nearly blotted out the entire surrounding sky.

The tower-shaped Primordial Mansion alone was astounding enough, but the twelve stars inscribed upon it were so shocking that no one would believe it if they were told!

Just how profound must one’s foundation be to forge a Twelve-Star Primordial Mansion in a single stroke—a supreme aptitude never before seen in history?

The terrifying phenomena continued to manifest behind Ye Chen, lasting for more than a hundred days!

Of course, in the outside world, only ten days had passed.

And during these hundred-plus days, Ye Chen’s aura went from soaring continuously to gradually subsiding, until it was completely retracted within him. He now looked like an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.

The phenomena behind him had already vanished fifty days prior.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s entire being was suffused with the light of the Dao, his aura restrained to the absolute limit. It was as if he had reached a state of profound, natural simplicity.

Through this period of deep consolidation, he had completely mastered the power of the Primordial Mansion Realm.

At the same time, the supreme foundation he had forged with the Pseudo-Immortal Grade Five-Elements Pill was now completely stabilized.

A terrifying power, impossible to describe with words, coursed through his meridians like a great river. As it passed, one could faintly hear a rumbling, thunder-like sound!

SWOOSH!

A piercing glint of cold light suddenly flashed through the void!

Ye Chen finally opened his eyes. A divine light shone brilliantly within them, and the aura around him surged, making him seem like an ancient Demon God, long dormant, that had at last awakened!

The very void around him rippled in response.

He let out a long breath, and the clarity returned to his eyes.

”I’ve finally broken through to the First Layer of the Primordial Mansion Realm!”
