Chapter 91

"How could someone be this fast?!"

Ye Chen felt puzzled; logically, he should have been the first to break through to Golden Core, but now someone had broken through before him.

This shows that even before the spiritual energy revived, they were already on the verge of a breakthrough—not everyone is like you, with strong fortune and cultivation methods boosting them; even when spiritual energy was scarce, their training speed remained rapid, which proves that person's talent is extremely high, possibly even above yours!

The muddy-eyed one finished speaking, Ye Chen's brows furrowed deeply.

The muddy-eyed one didn't know about the system's existence, so naturally he attributed Ye Chen's obtained pills and cultivation methods to heaven-defying fortune.

But Ye Chen knew that his rapid growth was inseparable from the system, while the person who broke through to Golden Core had no system yet achieved it at the very start of the spiritual energy revival—just imagine how high their talent must be.

The muddy-eyed one said that person's talent "might even be above yours," which was just a polite way of saying; in fact, that person's talent is indeed above yours.

Ye Chen lightly exhaled, letting himself stop thinking about this; at this moment he had more important things to do, and those few Golden Core cultivators were already not far away.

He circulated all his spiritual power, the Art of Creation, the Wuji Yin-Yang Diagram, and the power of the two Extreme Boundaries also flowed, while Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder covered his whole body.

The next moment, a loud, arrogant shout suddenly rang out.

"Ye Chen, I never expected it to be you!"

Upon hearing that voice, Ye Chen's expression turned extremely solemn; earlier he had known that the experts from beyond Xingkong were intentionally targeting him, but he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.

In the instant that voice faded, three figures suddenly appeared before Ye Chen.

"Who are you?"

Ye Chen asked, although he knew their abilities, he still deliberately asked that.

He wanted to know more about those experts from beyond Xingkong.

"A dying person, what's with all this nonsense!"

A Golden Core Third Level cultivator said, and his strength was the strongest among the three.

In the next instant, the three simultaneously attacked Ye Chen; seeing this, Ye Chen showed no panic, instead remaining very calm.

As the three charged at Ye Chen, his figure vanished like a ghost.

When he reappeared, one of the three had already exploded into a blood mist.

The sheer strength caused the remaining two's expressions to abruptly change.

"He's clearly still just a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

The Golden Core Third Level cultivator said this in shock, and this sentence was almost blurted out subconsciously—one can imagine how shaken he was.

"Since you won't talk, I have no choice but to search your souls."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, his figure vanished again; there was no trace of him in the air, and only a faint thunderclap could be heard around the two.

"What's the point of hiding? Come out and fight us head-on if you dare!"

"Do I look like an idiot to you?"

The instant Ye Chen's words fell, another person died.

Low-level Golden Core cultivators, in Ye Chen's presence, didn't even have a chance to resist.

"You... you..."

"Whoosh—"

Ye Chen suddenly appeared before that person, and the Nine Heavens Chaos Mystic Thunder entered his body in an instant, his vitality rapidly draining.

His eyes were filled with shock.

"You... you can't kill me, my ancestor is..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his vitality completely faded.

"I don't care who your ancestor is!"

Ye Chen said, beginning to search their souls.

As he searched their souls, his expression grew increasingly angry.

Originally, when Ye Chen was massively slaughtering demon beasts by the sea, he had attracted the attention of the Esteemed Founder; the Esteemed Founder had merely wanted to take the opportunity to scout the reality of Huaxia, which had an invisible formation protecting it, and he was quite curious.

Therefore he cultivated people from M Country, which is also why Huaxia suddenly suffered attacks from those demon beasts and M Country nationals.

And Ye Chen's sudden appearance broke his plan, and at that time he also noticed Ye Chen.

After that, Ye Chen came to M Country and discovered the soul-separating formation, which was also the Esteemed Founder's doing; he intended to use those souls to save someone, but that person does not appear in the memory of this Golden Core cultivator, so Ye Chen also doesn't know who it is.

"What an Esteemed Founder, actually targeting me since then!"

Ye Chen's face was full of anger, and a towering aura erupted at this moment.

The muddy-eyed one, how much of the ore vein remains? I want to break through to Golden Core immediately!

There's still more than half left, you little brat are outrageous; the energy in these ore veins would be enough for more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators to break through to Golden Core, yet with you it only managed to break through a minor realm.

Perhaps it's because I possess an Extreme Boundary; you should know, this is my second Extreme Boundary.

Ye Chen said, after Ye Chen finished speaking, the muddy-eyed one continued: "The Extreme Boundary is only part of it; also, your cultivation method is indeed heaven-defying."

After saying that, Ye Chen suddenly thought of something: the Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Thus Technique: Tahuazizaidafa.

The system had previously said that after he broke through to Nascent Soul, he could cultivate this technique; now he is not far from that realm.

"Esteemed Founder..."

Ye Chen chanted the Esteemed Founder's name, and as he spoke it he clenched his fists, a towering killing intent spilling out.

The muddy-eyed one sensed Ye Chen's killing intent but said nothing.

I think you should now go back and reforge your Zhi Ren, because many animals have undergone huge changes, their strength is rapidly increasing, their talent bloodlines are awakening, and some may even possess ancient demon beast bloodlines; your Zhi Ren may no longer be sufficient to face the current crisis.

The muddy-eyed one said, and after he finished speaking, Ye Chen's killing intent dissipated, replaced by a hint of surprise—you should know, the previous muddy-eyed one was not like this.

At the very least, the previous muddy-eyed one would not have given such advice.

Ye Chen didn't know that, in his interactions with the muddy-eyed one, some notions had already changed silently.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he rushed toward the place where Lin Ruoxi and the others were.

Zhi Ren Ye Chen's body bore his divine sense, so he was not worried about being unable to find Lin Ruoxi and the others.

After Ye Chen flew for two hours, he finally reached the place where Lin Ruoxi and the others were.

And Zhang Hai, Ji An and the others, together with their families, were not far from where Lin Ruoxi and the others were.

Here, their original home had also turned into a forest, houses collapsed, appliances shattered, hardly any trace of modern civilization visible.

And not far from them, some people were scattered about, their conditions not good.

At this moment, Ye Nan walked out from the nearby grass, his face and arms covered in scratches.

"Honey, I don't know if those fruits are edible; I found some dry rations, you eat first."

Ye Nan said, handing over the half piece of bread in his hand.

Lin Ruoxi looked at the bread in Ye Nan's hand, took it, then passed it to Zhi Ren Ye Chen; although she knew it wasn't her child, she still chose to pass it to Zhi Ren Ye Chen.
