Chapter 88: The Perfected One

Now is the time for all spirits to awaken and recover.

Muddy Eye spoke after that voice fell.

Ye Chen remained silent; the phrase "Calamity exhausted, calamity born; Dao fallen, Dao returns" seemed to symbolize the rebirth of this planet.

Meanwhile, everyone on this planet heard that sentence, and many were still immersed in the sorrow of the world's drastic change.

Some could seize this opportunity to defy fate and change their destiny, while others would consequently fall from their pedestals.

In Ye Chen's perception, the world had expanded, and the Chinese authorities also began to act.

"Given the current size of the world, my speed may no longer be sufficient; previously I could cross all of China in half an hour, but now I cannot."

Ye Chen thought to himself, and after he finished speaking, he asked Muddy Eye: "How many times larger is the world now compared to before?"

"Based on current observations, it's estimated to be ten times the original size, and the world's expansion continues; not only your planet, but even the nearby star systems have undergone tremendous changes."

After Muddy Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked: "Are those people also about to enter?"

"Hmm, you can prepare now; at the latest half an hour later, they will be able to enter. Given this world's restrictions, those who enter first are cultivators below Golden Core."

"Alright, I will first absorb the power of the veins, then break through the Extreme Boundary."

"For now, do not break through to Golden Core in a short time; this world's restrictions are gradually relaxed according to the strength of the strongest, and once you break through to Golden Core, Golden Core experts will be able to enter."

"Understood."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, his figure vanished, and he left Kunlun Mountain.

Just as he was looking for a place to absorb the vein's power, suddenly his pupils contracted violently, his figure abruptly turned, and he sped off in a certain direction.

Muddy Eye saw Ye Chen suddenly change direction, and a hint of confusion appeared in its eyes.

"What happened?"

"A demon beast attacked the residential area; it is an Eighth Level Foundation Establishment demon beast, and Zhi Ren Ye Chen cannot cope with that Eighth Level Foundation Establishment demon beast."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Muddy Eye did not speak again; its heart remained indifferent, and he could not understand why Ye Chen did this—Ye Chen cared so much for those besides cultivators, which besides causing himself to fall into a slow cultivation state seemed to have no other purpose.

But Ye Chen still did it, and he did so without any hesitation.

Suddenly, Ye Chen's rushing figure came to a stop; Muddy Eye saw this and asked doubtfully: "What now?"

"Do you still remember the person shrouded in misty vapor that I told you about when you were unconscious and after you woke up?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Muddy Eye's eyeballs slightly shifted in their sockets, and it asked: "Has that person appeared again?"

"Well… a person holding a gun; looking at his/her figure… I feel very familiar."

"In this world, you are the only Perfected One; among those you know, there is no such powerful existence—could you be mistaken?"

Muddy Eye said, and after Muddy Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen sighed: "Perhaps so."

"Should we still go?"

Muddy Eye asked.

"No need to go; it's already over—that misty vapor person has completely disappeared."

At this moment, Ye Chen furrowed his brows deeply; he really could not figure out who was helping him in the dark.

The fiery red figure in his mind, vigorous and graceful, wielding a long spear that danced like a dragon and phoenix soaring; his Zhi Ren could not sense its cultivation level, which proves that the misty vapor person's cultivation must be at least Fifth Level Foundation Establishment, since his Zhi Ren's cultivation is at Fifth Level Foundation Establishment.

"First, find a place to absorb the vein."

Ye Chen muttered to himself; in the next instant, his figure vanished, and he found a relatively concealed spot to absorb the vein.

He did this because the descendants or disciples of those outside Xingkong are about to enter, and by cultivating and absorbing the vein, he will not appear for several days, just to be safe.

After sending that message, Ye Chen sent a message to Zhang Hai and Ji An, telling them to go find his parents, to stay together so that they could later be found.

After sending that message, Ye Chen completely entered cultivation.

During his cultivation period, the outside world underwent earth-shattering changes.

The planet's tremendous changes during his cultivation period have completely transformed; towering giant trees have sprung from the ground, reaching into the clouds.

Originally, animals turned into spirit beasts, gaining spiritual intelligence, while many animals also became extremely aggressive; at the onset of the great change, many people died in the mouths of their own pets.

The Chinese authorities acted immediately, yet despite their prompt response, over seven hundred million died in a single night, and now fewer than one billion survive in China.

And this planet has also fully entered the era of cultivation.

Seven days later……

Ye Chen exited his cultivation state; he could have done so earlier, but he did not, instead consolidating his cultivation and refining his spiritual power.

Now his foundation can be described as extremely solid; although he is still only at Foundation Establishment, he can contend with Golden Core fourth/fifth-level cultivators.

After opening his eyes, Ye Chen directly swallowed the Foundation Establishment Extreme Boundary Pill; after taking it, thunderclouds… also arrived.

Ye Chen gazed at the thunderclouds in the sky and murmured: "It's coming."

And at this moment, Muddy Eye, which had remained silent during Ye Chen's cultivation, spoke.

"Be careful; it is the Ninefold Heavenly Thunder, the third rank of heavenly thunder, which should originally appear only during Golden Core tribulation."

"Is it because I broke through the Extreme Boundary twice?"

Ye Chen seemed to be asking himself, and also asking Muddy Eye.

"Yes."

Muddy Eye gave an accurate answer.

"Golden Core cultivators have a hundred kinds of heavenly thunder when breaking through; yours is the third-ranked Ninefold Heavenly Thunder, and if you were breaking through to Golden Core, it would likely be the top-ranked Three Transformations Three Revolutions Heavenly Thunder."

"Three Transformations Three Revolutions? What kind of heavenly thunder is that?"

Ye Chen asked, puzzled.

"It is the exclusive heavenly thunder of Extreme Boundary cultivators; it corresponds precisely to three—Three Transformations Three Revolutions—breaking through to the pinnacle, future achievements limitless."

Muddy Eye's tone was solemn; it naturally hoped Ye Chen could carve a bloody path, but the Three Transformations Three Revolutions heavenly thunder, from ancient times to the present, in its memory, those who have succeeded in breaking through are few and far between.

Even in the era when Great Emperors walked everywhere, those cultivators who could survive the Three Transformations Three Revolutions heavenly thunder could be counted on one hand.

But it cannot be denied that those individuals ultimately achieved the supreme; if not for that sudden war that exhausted them, leaving their fate unknown, they would surely have broken through the shackles!

Whenever Murky Eye thinks back to that war, its eyes involuntarily tremble; it's hard to imagine, even an existence of its level had its consciousness sealed after being struck—one can imagine how terrifying that war was.

Ye Chen doesn't know these, and Murky Eye doesn't intend to say them; letting Ye Chen know these now is not a good thing.
