Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen's actions caused an uproar among the other Tomb Explorers.

The golden Demon Carp was a Rotating Pill Realm level Demon King, with at least the strength of the initial stage of Rotating Pill Realm!

Such strength was considered an overwhelming existence for them, who were of the Spirit Sea Realm. Not to mention fighting it, when facing such an existence's attack, their only thought would be to flee, and it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to escape very far before being annihilated!

However, Ye Chen showed no fear of the golden Demon Carp, daring to confront it directly. And it wasn't just that he initiated a fight, he was multitasking—collecting the Azure Blue Mansion with one hand while dealing with the Demon Carp with the other. He obviously didn't take the Demon Carp seriously at all!

Could Ye Chen be so bold?!

Amidst the astonished murmurs of the other Tomb Explorers, their gaze was now fixed solely on the golden Demon Carp and Ye Chen. The golden Demon Carp, seeing Ye Chen's incoming palm strike, let out a contemptuous laugh.

In the heart of the golden Demon Carp, killing Ye Chen, who was just at the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, wouldn't take any effort at all. To it, Ye Chen's attack was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"You dare to make a move against me?"

"What a joke!"

"Watch as I utterly annihilate you with one move!"

The thunderous voice of the golden Demon Carp echoed as its more than two-hundred-meter-long colossal body caused the waters of Azure Blue Lake to explode chaotically, scaring the other Tomb Explorers so much that they frantically scattered in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the massive body of the golden Demon Carp collided with the palm that Ye Chen had struck out.

At the moment of collision, everyone heard a terrifying sound of a sonic boom. Then, endless explosive energy whipped up the waters of Azure Blue Lake into a maelstrom.

Amidst the earth-shattering sound of their clash and the turmoil of the waters, an inconceivable scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.

The golden Demon Carp, which had been furiously attempting to annihilate Ye Chen with the power of a Rotating Pill Realm Demon King, was actually sent rolling and flying away by Ye Chen's palm strike!

"How is this possible!"

Watching the colossal, two-hundred-meter-long golden Demon Carp being swept away, tumbling over and over for a thousand meters or more before it finally came to a stop, and seeing Ye Chen, who had struck with one hand, still standing unflinchingly in his original spot—his other hand, which was multitasking, had already grasped the shrunken Azure Blue Mansion—all the other Tomb Explorers were completely stunned.

This!

What on earth had happened?!

A youth at the early stage of Spirit Sea Realm had just sent a Rotating Pill Realm Demon King flying with a single hand?!

Everyone could hardly believe what they had just witnessed.

The golden Demon Carp, which had been sent rolling away by Ye Chen for a thousand meters or so, was utterly shocked.

The clash with Ye Chen had been merely a brief instant, and while others might not realize how terrifying Ye Chen's move was, the golden Demon Carp, having personally felt it, was absolutely astounded by Ye Chen's blow!

The simple palm strike that Ye Chen had just executed had unleashed a force even stronger than its own frenzied attack!

"Impossible!"

"You are just at the early Spirit Sea Realm, how can you possess such tremendous power!"

"What technique did you use?!"

The greatly surprised golden Demon Carp, now looking at Ye Chen again, saw a serious expression in its demonic eyes.

Initially, it had regarded Ye Chen with utter contempt.

But now, even though it was a Demon King of the early stages of Rotating Pill Realm, a full realm higher than Ye Chen, it no longer dared to show the slightest bit of disdain for him!

Ye Chen had just launched an attack with a single hand, clearly not yet displaying his full power. To repel an early stage Rotating Pill Realm Demon King without going all out indicated that Ye Chen definitely had the power to contend with one at the early stage of Rotating Pill Realm!

For a moment, the golden Demon Carp didn't even dare to make another move.

On the other hand, after repelling the golden Demon Carp with a palm strike, Ye Chen sized up the shrunken Azure Blue Mansion in his hand before storing it inside his spatial treasure, the Heaven Spirit Ring.

Now that the Azure Blue Mansion was safely inside the Heaven Spirit Ring, Ye Chen finally let down his guard.

With him there to protect the Azure Blue Mansion, he no longer had to worry about Jiang Yao, who was still awakening her bloodline in the mansion's interstitial space, being harmed by anyone else.

"The issue with the Azure Blue Mansion is settled."

"Next, it's time to properly handle the business with the ancient tomb!"

Whoosh!

After securing the Azure Blue Mansion, Ye Chen's gaze immediately turned to the golden Demon Carp not far away.

The sudden stare from Ye Chen startled the golden Demon Carp, who had been keeping a close eye on Ye Chen's movements, causing it to retreat unconsciously by several hundred meters!

Then, after regaining its composure, the golden Demon Carp's expression turned ugly.

To think that it, a majestic Rotating Pill Realm Demon King, had been scared into retreating by a mere child, was simply too humiliating!

The golden Demon Carp's actions set the other Tomb Explorers abuzz.

"That golden Demon Carp, it seems afraid of Ye Chen?"

This thought flashed through everyone's minds.

As thoughts raced, they also found the notion somewhat absurd, as it was truly incredible to think that a junior in the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm could instill fear in a Rotating Pill Realm Demon King.

Even though Ye Chen had repelled the golden Demon Carp once, they assumed it had been careless.

As the Tomb Explorers whispered among themselves, the golden Demon Carp's face grew more and more unsightly.

Finally, as if to regain its pride, the golden Demon Carp once again bellowed at Ye Chen, "Kid, do you really dare to take away the Azure Blue Mansion?"

"Hand over the Azure Blue Mansion obediently. I did not use my full strength just now. If I truly make a move, you will surely die without a place for your burial!"

Others might not have caught it, but Ye Chen distinctly heard a tremor in the golden Demon Carp's voice.

Looking at the fierce yet fearful golden Demon Carp, Ye Chen let out a cold laugh, "Full strength? Please, use your full strength."

"If you don't give it your all, don't blame me for capturing you and asking you some questions!"

Whoosh!

Ye Chen's repeated contempt towards the golden Demon Carp caused the other Tomb Explorers to stir once more.

"Ye Chen, can you really deal with this Demon King?" Fairy Nishang couldn't help but call out to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen responded to Fairy Nishang with a smile and a nod.

The others could not discern the realm of the golden Demon Carp, but Ye Chen, after battling more than a hundred Rotating Pill Realm experts inside the Azure Blue Mansion, was intimately familiar with the aura of the Rotating Pill Realm!

He had long realized that this golden Demon Carp was merely an early-stage Demon King of the Rotating Pill Realm.

Inside the Azure Blue Mansion, Ye Chen had already defeated one hundred and sixteen early-stage Battle Spirits from the Divine Phoenix Clan!

Those were early-stage Battle Spirits from the Divine Phoenix Clan, each one on the cusp of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, reaching the peak of the early stage—strong warriors from the Divine Phoenix Clan of the Upper Realm, wielding numerous techniques unknown to the vast continent below.

These early-stage Battle Spirits of the Upper Realm were many times more formidable than the golden Demon Carp!

Ye Chen had defeated such adversaries, let alone this golden Demon Carp.

Ye Chen knew in his heart that to deal with this Demon Carp, he did not need to use all his techniques; just a few would suffice to completely subdue it!

His primary focus had been on seizing the Azure Blue Mansion, and his palm strike against the Demon Carp's attack was just a casual move. Now, with the intention of forcing the tomb's secrets out of the Demon Carp, Ye Chen would certainly not show any mercy!

"If you don't make a move, I will!"

Amidst the roiling waters of Azure Blue Lake, Ye Chen's cold gaze swept over the color-shifting Demon Carp, and in an instant, he stepped forward, crossing a distance of one to two thousand meters, and appeared right in front of the golden Demon Carp.

Following that, Ye Chen reached out with a large hand, and the endless waters of Azure Blue Lake formed an immense palm which descended from above towards the two-hundred-meter-long Demon Carp!

Ye Chen, facing an early-stage Rotating Pill Realm Demon Carp, was not only unafraid but even took the initiative to attack!

"Presumptuous!"

In such a situation, the golden Demon Carp, of course, wouldn't just accept it. Seeing the colossal palm reaching out towards it, the Demon Carp's expression abruptly changed, and gold and water Law Patterns suddenly emerged on its vast fish body.

In an instant, tremendous golden-blue True Qi surged from within the Demon Carp's body, eventually forming a massive trident several hundred meters long, which thrust towards the True Qi giant hand that Ye Chen had launched.

Watching the golden Demon Carp struggle, Ye Chen smiled faintly, and in a flash, the immense palm attacking the Demon Carp surged with the massive shadow of the Black Tortoise Physique.

This was the Black Tortoise Strength Great Divine Skill!

With the boost from the Black Tortoise Strength Great Divine Skill, the originally ordinary immense palm was imbued with overwhelming power. With a thunderous squeeze, it crushed the huge trident thrust by the Demon Carp!

What's more, the giant palm didn't stop there, it grabbed directly above, and amidst the Demon Carp's changing expression, it captured the two-hundred-plus-meter-long carp firmly in its grasp!
