Chapter 125: The Terrifying Nuo Mian

The vanished Ye Chen hid in a place, first absorbing the energy that those Golden Core Tenth Level cultivators had turned into.

He aims to break through to Nascent Soul at the fastest speed; the Nascent Soul stage is still capital for his rapid growth.

"Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Tahuazizaidafa shouldn't disappoint me."

Ye Chen clearly remembers this is Huang Tian Di's method; he also knows its defying nature, and Huang Tian Di ultimately achieved the former emperor's fruit position thanks to this method.

Of course, it isn't solely the method's merit; Huang Tian Di's own talent is also extraordinary, constantly surpassing contemporary young cultivators.

Who dares to call themselves invincible? Who dares to claim they won't be defeated? Huang Tian Di does.

And the invincible heart Ye Chen forged through Three Transformations Three Changes will also set him on this path, surpassing the contemporary younger generation and attaining the invincible fruit position!

Ye Chen arrived at a mountain peak and sat there to absorb.

He didn't look for any hidden spot; now on this planet, no one can match him.

So now he no longer needs to hide.

The reason he chose such an obvious place is to lure those who don't know life and death to come after him.

Once those people come, they will become nourishment for his growth.

Ye Chen absorbed, but the result was a bit unexpected—no one came to find him.

"Looks like they're all scared off by me; Golden Core cultivators no longer dare to trouble me."

Ye Chen said, and the speed of absorption never ceased.

The speed of Ye Chen's absorption was rapid; not even the twenty‑plus energy clusters condensed by Golden Core cultivators were left unabsorbed.

But his cultivation has not yet reached the Extreme Boundary peak; it's still a little short.

Ye Chen simply opened the storage bag Yun Yun gave him; the moment he opened it, a dense aura of spiritual power surged at him.

Ye Chen was shocked, seeing the bag packed densely with spirit stones, all of top quality!

He estimated there might be over five hundred thousand spirit stones inside, likely Yun Yun's entire fortune.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly felt a strange unease.

"In the end, I've wronged her too much."

Ye Chen thought to himself, recalling his cold words to Yun Yun, sighing helplessly; it wasn't that he wanted to, but there was truly no other way.

The dangers around him were simply too many.

Hun Yan, sensing his emotions, said to him: "Since you feel you've wronged her, you should grow even faster; didn't you promise to become her protector?"

"As long as you grow, become her protector, and guard everything of hers, isn't that enough?"

After Hun Yan finished speaking, Ye Chen gave no reply, but kept staring at the spirit stones in the bag.

After a while, Ye Chen said to Hun Yan: "Hun Yan, you're becoming more human-like; sometimes I even feel you're a person, not a cold innate spirit artifact, and sometimes I think I'm not as clear‑sighted as you."

However, this time Hun Yan gave no response to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't know what Hun Yan was thinking, and of course he didn't need to understand; now he prepared to absorb these spirit stones and break through!

He decisively took out five thousand spirit stones to begin cultivation.

This cultivation lasted a whole day; when he finished, his cultivation suddenly reached the Golden Core Extreme Boundary peak!

"It's time to break through…"

Ye Chen murmured softly, and the next moment, he relaxed his mind and voluntarily faced the Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Chen looked at the tribulation clouds overhead, his expression calm and indifferent.

"Esteemed Founder…"

As his words fell, Ye Chen surged forward, actively confronting his Golden Core Extreme Boundary Heavenly Tribulation.

……

At this moment, in the starry sky, Gu Lan and Esteemed Founder were locked in fierce combat.

"Gu Lan, don't think my Gu Sun family fears you!"

Gu Lan heard Esteemed Founder's words and sneered repeatedly.

"When you sent people to kill my Xuan granddaughter, didn't you consider whether my Yun Family would act against you?"

"Your Xuan granddaughter is so close to that kid Ye Chen; if I don't kill her, who will I kill? She deserves it!"

After Esteemed Founder finished speaking, Gu Lan instantly raged, "Esteemed Founder, you're courting death!"

"Gu Lan, our strengths are comparable; don't think you can take me down!"

Gu Lan roared, his God Transformation cultivation instantly rippled across the starry sky, and he too unleashed his God Transformation.

After both fully displayed their cultivation, the starry sky itself became turbulent because of them.

"Hey, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth, what are you two doing?"

Nuo Mian suddenly stepped forward to advise Gu Lan and Esteemed Founder.

But the already enraged Gu Lan would not easily give up.

And Esteemed Founder likewise; he knew Gu Lan was determined to kill him today, and if he didn't show some strength, he might end up here today.

Gu Lan is a downright madman.

"Nuo Mian, I advise you not to meddle, lest you fall here."

Gu Lan advised, but Nuo Mian was indifferent, "Oh dear, you're so fierce, people will feel scared."

Boom!

Gu Lan suddenly launched an attack on Nuo Mian; the strike shattered the surrounding stars, and Nuo Mian's form dissipated in the starry sky, as if truly dead.

But the next moment, Nuo Mian's voice floated softly.

"Hey, don't you feel that the kid inside is breaking through to Nascent Soul? Once that happens, Nascent Soul cultivators can enter, and after Nascent Soul, God Transformation can also enter; although their own strength will be greatly reduced, would a God Transformation cultivator still fear a freshly broken‑through Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"And you, Gu Lan, your granddaughter has already returned safely; why provoke Esteemed Founder again?"

After Nuo Mian finished speaking, his form reappeared in the starry sky, this time not as a woman's visage but as a graceful jade gentleman.

Gulan looked at Nuomian, and a hint of danger suddenly arose in his heart, a feeling he had gained from many years of slaughter.

His perception told him that Nuomian at this moment was very dangerous.

"Nuomian, you talk too much!"

In the next moment, Esteemed Founder also acted against Nuomian; Esteemed Founder always felt that Nuomian wanted to mock him, but Nuomian truly did not think that.

Nuomian only wanted Ye Chen's all-beings mask; as for the rest, he could do without anything.

And Esteemed Founder understood that Nuomian was letting them undergo trials so that he could sit back and reap the fisherman's profit.

Boom—

A huge energy undulation reverberated in Xingkong, and Nuomian's figure disappeared once again.

In Gulan's perception, Nuomian seemed to have completely vanished, but reason told him that Nuomian could not possibly have been defeated so easily; otherwise, he could not explain that hint of danger in his heart.

And at this moment, Esteemed Founder was also searching for Nuomian's figure in Xingkong.

But in the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened, a chill that penetrated his soul sweeping over his entire body.

"You seem... to be a bit disrespectful toward me."

Nuomian said gloomily, at this moment, his cultivation was not an incarnation, but... Crossing Tribulation!
