Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 271: Chapter 238: A Storm is Brewing



The direction in which the countless clusters of flames exploded was unmistakably where Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya stood.

As soon as Heavenly Saint Long Xuan appeared, she launched an attack directly at Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya!

In an instant, Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya were engulfed in the sky-full of flames.

Ye Chen saw that, as Heavenly Saint Long Xuan attacked, within the flames, Elder Kugu's astonishing Heavenly Saint aura also began to wildly spiral and grow. A terrifying earth-based Law Pattern power started to spread within the sea of flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shortly thereafter, countless densely packed earth beads burst forth amidst the sea of flames.

Among these earth beads, the True Soul Flames of Heavenly Saint Moya were shining wildly!

Clearly, faced with Heavenly Saint Long Xuan's attack, Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya had begun to counterattack.

Seeing the counterattack moves of the two, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan gently shifted in the void and flashed through it in a split second. With a fierce slap of her fair palm, countless True Fires burst out from her palm, striking once more at Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya.

Seeing Heavenly Saint Long Xuan appear and immediately engage in battle with Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya, Ye Chen turned to the six powerhouses beside him and asked, "Should we assist Heavenly Saint Long Xuan?"

"There's no need."

Seeing Heavenly Saint Long Xuan take action, the expressions of concern on the faces of the six powerhouses disappeared, replaced with a rare smile: "Let's retreat to the side and watch the battle. If it's just those two, they absolutely stand no chance against Heavenly Saint Long Xuan!"

As they retreated, the six powerhouses kept telling Ye Chen about the feats of Heavenly Saint Long Xuan.

"Heavenly Saint Long Xuan is the youngest Heavenly Saint among the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory. She is also the strongest! She cultivates in Heaven Departure Nation, the neighboring nation of Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and is the supreme elder of the four-grade sect 'Heavenly Lan Sect.'

"She has only cultivated for a few hundred years, yet her combat power surpasses many Heavenly Saints who have cultivated for thousands of years."

"Among the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory, we only have three Heavenly Saints, while the ten demon sects of the Western Wilderness boast four Heavenly Saints. However, during these past few hundred years, the ten demon sects of the Western Wilderness have not dared to wage war against us in the Southern Territory, largely because of Heavenly Saint Long Xuan!

Of the seven Heavenly Saints between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan is even the one most likely to progress into the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm!"

"Rumor has it that Heavenly Saint Long Xuan has mastered the Fire Element Law, one of the five major Void Laws, to perfection. Moreover, when she stepped into the Heavenly Saint Realm, she even fused thirty-three types of powerful sacred-grade True Fires within her body..."

The six powerhouses recounted various tales of Heavenly Saint Long Xuan to Ye Chen.

She had merged thirty-three types of powerful sacred-grade True Fires within her body!

The youngest and yet the mightiest among the three great Heavenly Saints of the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory!

The words of the six powerhouses about Heavenly Saint Long Xuan sent a shock through Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had once fought Liu Yan, who had fused with one type of heavenly-grade True Fire, proving to be extraordinarily powerful. Yet, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan had fused with sacred-grade True Fires that were even more terrifying than heavenly-grade, and there were as many as thirty-three kinds!

This was somewhat beyond Ye Chen's imagination.

Ye Chen looked towards the battlefield.

Indeed, as the six powerhouses had said, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, fighting alone against two great Heavenly Saints, had already taken a dominating position!

Moreover, the sweeping flames had all but ignited the thousands of zhang of void around where Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya were, as if they pierced through the void, turning the expanse of thousands of zhang into a sea of red.

The terrifying power of the flames burned so intensely that the space between heaven and earth became incredibly hot. Even Ye Chen who had retreated to the side to watch the battle felt the True Qi within his body boil, even from a great distance.

And above the sea of flames, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan seemed like the master of these infinite flames. Ye Chen also saw that during the intense battle, around Heavenly Saint Long Xuan's body, there drifted seven or eight types of breathtaking, peculiar True Fires.

These seven or eight peculiar True Fires even made Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya, who had been resisting all along, dare not get any closer!

"This is what it means to be a Heavenly Saint!"

"A truly powerful Heavenly Saint!"

Ye Chen, watching Heavenly Saint Long Xuan proudly standing within the myriad flames, battling the two great Heavenly Saints, and seeing the peculiar True Fires floating around her, felt his own blood boiling with excitement.

When would he be like Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, protecting the Southern Territory, safeguarding his homeland!

Crossing two nations in an instant, igniting the heavens with flames, turning the void into a crimson expanse, deterring the petty and weak!

If he had such strength, perhaps he could have easily slain Heavenly Saint Moya in the ancient tombs!

For now, Ye Chen was still a far distance from such a realm.

Although he had experienced the might of a Heavenly Saint through the infusion of Heavenly Saint power, it was but an external force and one that was easily depleted, nothing like the true power of a battle at the level of the Heavenly Saints.

At the moment, Ye Chen's own strength was only enough to suppress those at the early stages of the Rotating Pill Realm.

"Although I can currently only overpower those at the early Rotating Pill Realm, I have only been cultivating for slightly over a year, not even two years!"

"Given time, I might not only become as powerful as Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, but I could even surpass her! In the future, I must accompany Jiang Yao to the Minor Spirit Realm and face our two great foes, the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan. I must become stronger!"

Watching the three great Heavenly Saints in combat, Ye Chen's desire to reach a higher realm grew even stronger.

It wasn't just Ye Chen who was deeply moved. The six powerhouses were also filled with many emotions as they watched the three great Heavenly Saints fight.

These six powerhouses were all at the Rotating Pill Realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Yet, it was this very step that kept them just outside the threshold of the strongest on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and it was very possible that they would never cross it in their lifetimes.

Heavenly Saint Realm?

Of course, the six powerhouses longed to step into the Heavenly Saint!

Once they entered the Heavenly Saint Realm, it was very likely that the situation in the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness would change once again!

Ye Chen and the six powerhouses watched the fight in the arena with myriad thoughts in their minds, while Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, Elder Kugu, and Heavenly Saint Moya, locked in the fierce battle, had already exchanged dozens of moves.

Within these dozens of moves, Heavenly Saint Moya, who only had the power of the Heavenly Saint True Soul Force, was almost killed several times by Heavenly Saint Long Xuan. If not for Elder Kugu's assistance, he might have fallen right there in the arena, not long after successfully performing Body Snatching from the ancient tomb!

This caused Heavenly Saint Moya's complexion to grow increasingly grim and pale!

When Heavenly Saint Moya dominated the Western Wilderness, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan had not even been born. Now, thousands of years later, Heavenly Saint Moya was directly surpassed by this newcomer, who even possessed the capability to potentially eliminate him. This, of course, infuriated Heavenly Saint Moya to the point of almost spitting blood!

His awakening this time had already met with repeated setbacks in the Southern Territory!

On the side, Elder Kugu's deeply sunken eye sockets wrinkled tighter, and seeing Heavenly Saint Moya narrowly escaping death a few times, his willingness to fight was fading more and more.

In the end, he even shouted loudly, "Brother Long, stop this!"

Boom!

Elder Kugu's large hand grasped, catching Heavenly Saint Moya and leaping out of the fray.

"Stop?"

Seeing Elder Kugu leap out of the fight, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan's fair palm lifted slightly, and as her hair like a waterfall fluttered behind her, the infinite burning flames throughout heaven and earth swirled back towards her. Finally, in the palm of her hand, a few dancing flames formed: "Fellow Daoist Skeleton, the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness are mortal enemies. Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr

You barged into my Southern Territory; did you think you could leave so easily?"

"Hmph, Brother Long, don't push people too far!"

Elder Kugu, seeing that Long Xuan had no intention of backing down, snorted coldly and lifted his hand. A token appeared in his palm.

In his token, there were three Law Pattern imprints.

"You also know that the four Heavenly Saints of the Western Wilderness all bear each other's imprints, capable of summoning Heavenly Saint projections at any time to join forces in battle. Presumably, Brother Long has the projection imprints of the other two companions from the Southern Territory, right?"

"The Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness are blood-sworn mortal enemies. Our ceasefire over the past few hundred years, Brother Long, you surely understand the reason—it's because neither side can do anything about the other!"

"If Brother Long really insists on detaining the two of us, then I wouldn't mind summoning the other three Heavenly Saints from the Western Wilderness right away, directly initiating a new war with your Southern Territory!"

"At that time, not only will the Western Wilderness not benefit, but your Southern Territory will also suffer a widespread catastrophe!"

As Elder Kugu finished speaking, he laughed coldly, his gaze even sweeping towards Ye Chen and the six powerhouses, with a blatant threat in his eyes.

Hearing Elder Kugu's words, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan's delicate brows knitted slightly as she glanced at the token in Elder Kugu's hand.

After that, her gaze swept over the faces of the six powerhouses, eventually settling on Ye Chen.

After a sigh, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan raised her arm gently towards Elder Kugu, "You may leave, but do not step into my Southern Territory again lightly, or next time, you might not be so lucky!"

As Heavenly Saint Long Xuan decided to let Elder Kugu and the other leave, urgency appeared on the faces of Ye Chen and the six powerhouses.

Letting these two go was like releasing a tiger back into the mountains!

However, as Elder Kugu said, if they really didn't let the two leave, the consequences of summoning all the Heavenly Saints might be even more unpredictable.

On one hand, Ye Chen and the others did not wish for Heavenly Saint Moya to leave.

On the other hand, Moya, upon hearing Elder Kugu suggesting departure, became even more anxious: "Brother Skeleton, my treasures are all on that young boy, and I haven't gotten them back yet..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Elder Kugu interrupted him as Heavenly Saint Long Xuan glanced over indifferently, "Let's go, we'll talk later!"

"We have an inevitable battle with the Southern Territory, but now is not the time!"

Boom!

While speaking, Elder Kugu's hand tore open a rift in the void, and then he and Heavenly Saint Moya fled into the crack in space, vanishing into it!

By the time the rift in the void had completely sealed, Elder Kugu and Heavenly Saint Moya had completely disappeared.

Watching the two vanish entirely, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan's gaze flickered, her fists clenched tightly within her sleeves: "Saved a Heavenly Saint who took over a body? So what."

"Give me some time, once I break through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, I will completely resolve these major problems for the Southern Territory!"

Clenching her fists, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan muttered to herself and finally turned her head.

Her gaze went straight to Ye Chen.
