Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 245: Chapter 214 Never Say Die!

The Rotating Pill Realm is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late.

Unlike in the True Qi Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm, where the power disparity between minor stages is not too great, upon entering the Rotating Pill Realm, as one begins to comprehend the five major Heavenly Void Laws, the Power of Laws becomes increasingly formidable in the latter stages, making the gap in strength between each stage an almost insurmountable chasm.

It's precisely for this reason that sect rankings within the Barbaric Wilderness Continent are divided by the stage of the Rotating Pill cultivators they host: sects with early-stage cultivators are merely seventh-rank, those with middle-stage cultivators directly become sixth-rank, and sects with late-stage cultivators reach the status of a fifth-rank!

Within the upper realms among the Divine Phoenix Clan, this disparity is even more pronounced.

Keep in mind that these Battle Spirits are left behind only when members of the Divine Phoenix Clan cultivate to the pinnacle of a minor stage and are preparing to break through to the next stage.

Battle Spirits of the early Rotating Pill stage are one thing, as they are preparing to break through to the middle stage.

However, Battle Spirits in the middle stage have been cultivated to the extreme limit of the Rotating Pill middle stage and are on the verge of breaking through to the late stage!

Such Battle Spirits are almost equivalent in strength to many formidable late-stage Rotating Pill cultivators on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Seeing Ye Chen preparing to challenge these middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits, even Phoenix Spirit couldn't help but worry about him.

Although Ye Chen was now capable of dealing with early-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits, Phoenix Spirit knew that Ye Chen was absolutely not strong enough to contend with a middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirit.

"Ye Chen, do you really plan to confront these middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits?"

"You have no chance of winning if you fight now, unless you have another major breakthrough. Your current tactics will decidedly not overcome these middle-stage Battle Spirits."

Phoenix Spirit solemnly advised Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked up at Phoenix Spirit, flashed a smile, and said, "Lady Phoenix Spirit, I know."

"There will be no deaths in the Battle Spirit Hall, and even if I am defeated, I will simply be expelled from the challenge area by the restrictions. It's the perfect opportunity for me to witness the capabilities of middle-stage Rotating Pill experts."

"Observing more is always beneficial."

Ye Chen certainly wasn't arrogant enough to think he could defeat a middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirit of the Divine Phoenix Clan. He had barely surpassed the early-stage Battle Spirits, let alone the middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits, which were entirely a level above the early-stage ones.

As he said, his only desire was to witness the techniques of the middle stage, so that he could be somewhat prepared when truly facing the strong under the heavens.

Seeing that Ye Chen wasn't being overconfident, Phoenix Spirit was somewhat relieved.

Still, she held a slight concern: "Ye Chen, although you will not die in the Battle Spirit Hall, you can still be injured by defeat, especially when fighting against middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits, the injuries can be more severe."

"Your idea of experiencing middle-stage techniques isn't wrong, but be careful not to suffer too serious injuries."

Ye Chen nodded.

Then, Ye Chen took a deep breath and focused all his divine thoughts on the middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirit statue before him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirit statue was activated, and amid the endless eruption of Spiritual Light from below, the figure of a female soared into the sky.

This middle-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirit statue turned out to be the Battle Spirit of a female cultivator from the Divine Phoenix Clan!

Looking at the female cultivator, one could see her dignified appearance and spirited valor, wearing a set of ice-blue battle armor, as extraordinary in martial prowess as any male cultivator.

What caught Ye Chen's attention even more was a string of purple bells she wore on her hand.

Ye Chen had heard from Phoenix Spirit that early-stage Rotating Pill cultivators, having just begun to comprehend the five major Heavenly Void Laws, lacked strong control over the Power of Laws, with most of their techniques being divine abilities associated with their respective Laws.

But once they made a breakthrough to the middle stage, these cultivators' command of the Power of Laws greatly increased, as did their ability to activate the restrictions within a Treasure Instrument. At this point, many of their techniques involve the use of treasure artifacts!

Like the Black Fire Sword that Ye Chen obtained, it's a Treasure Instrument, with eighty-one restrictions that Ye Chen could only activate thirteen of, considerably augmenting his strength.

If faced with a formidable middle-stage Rotating Pill cultivator who could unleash a large part of a Treasure Instrument's restrictions, the power of the instrument could become truly unimaginable!

Clearly, the string of purple bells on the hands of this female cultivator was definitely a powerful Treasure Instrument.

Ye Chen, who was about to face her in combat, of course needed to be wary of this instrument.

Boom!

Once the female Battle Spirit ascended into the sky, Ye Chen didn't hesitate. His figure shifted, and he instantly moved into the sky to face the female Battle Spirit head-on.

After reaching the sky, even before the battle had begun, Ye Chen could sense a subtle Power of Laws enveloping the void.

With his cultivation of Primordial True Liquid, capable of instantaneously converting into the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth Five Elements True Liquid, his sensitivity to the five major Heavenly Void Laws was much stronger than that of other cultivators.

He sensed that the Power of Laws emanating from the female Battle Spirit contained the essences of "water and fire," two entirely distinct Heavenly Void Laws.

Clearly, the female Battle Spirit was cultivating both "water and fire" from among the five major Heavenly Void Laws!

As Ye Chen was sensing the Heavenly Void Laws from the female Battle Spirit, she made the first move.

Boom!

With a gentle tap of her finger, the Powers of Water and Fire Laws enshrouding the void instantly transformed into torrents of blue and red currents, violently swirling forth.

In a moment, with Ye Chen's standing position as the center, an area spanning hundreds of zhang was completely engulfed by the cyclone of blue and red currents.

Under the influence of these two currents, Ye Chen, who was standing in the void, found himself suddenly immobilized.

This experience was different from the instant immobilization he encountered when fighting early-stage Rotating Pill Battle Spirits. This time, Ye Chen was completely unable to move, and even his divine thoughts were restrained, rendering him incapable of even executing spatial transposition.

This was the legendary Law Domain, a confining space from which one could not escape. If one couldn't break the space, they would be entirely restrained within it, at the mercy of their opponent!

This middle-stage female Battle Spirit truly possessed the terrifying strength to deploy a Law Domain capable of fully restraining others!

Ye Chen, trapped within the red and blue-colored Law Domain, watched as the air that bound him formed continuously blossoming ice-blue and fiery-red flowers.

If Ye Chen knew of the Female Battle Spirit's technique, he would certainly recognize it—this was the Female Battle Spirit's Law Domain, "Twin Flowers Locking Origin Formation!"

If Ye Chen couldn't break through the ever-blossoming Twin Flowers, he would be completely trapped to death within the Twin Flowers Locking Origin Formation.

"Powerful, too powerful!"

"This Rotating Pill mid-realm Battle Spirit truly is the remnant of a Rotating Pill mid-realm cultivator who cultivated to the extreme. Facing her, I feel just like I'm facing the Peak Master and the five strongest Rotating Pill post-realm warriors of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom!"

"I must break this Law Domain, break through this Law Domain quickly!"

Before the Law Domain had shrouded him, Ye Chen's True Qi had already transformed into his strongest Water-series True Liquid, and at the moment he was trapped, a vast White Tiger Physique enveloped him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the instant he was restrained in body and mind, the astonishing White Tiger Physique surrounding Ye Chen surged with endless Attack Mana. This boundless Attack Mana was ultimately channeled into the Black Fire Sword in his hands, while his most powerful sword intent, "Heavenly Gang Sword Intent," also merged into the Black Fire Sword.

Then, the power of the Nine-Turn Battle Body outside his body also began to flicker wildly.

At the instant he was trapped, Ye Chen's three techniques merged into one, all manifesting as slashes from the Black Fire Sword, cutting towards the Law Domain that swiftly loomed over!

However, as soon as Ye Chen made a move, just as his Black Fire Sword shattered two ice-blue and three fiery-red flowers, his whole person was completely overwhelmed by an endless bloom of flowers.

And then, Ye Chen felt a heat on his forehead, and with a "bang," he was sent out to the defeated area.

Defeat!

It was only an instant of the Female Battle Spirit striking that Ye Chen lost.

If it weren't for the protective restrictions of the Battle Spirit Hall and the fact that he was practicing within the Battle Spirit Hall, rather than in actual combat, Ye Chen would have been killed in the move that the Female Battle Spirit had used just now.

He didn't even see how the Female Battle Spirit attacked his forehead!

Ye Chen, looking up at the sky from the defeated area, saw the Female Battle Spirit vanish, returned to the statue of the Battle Spirit.

"No, I can't allow the Female Battle Spirit to strike first. Otherwise, my attack won't arrive in time to stop the Law Domain."

"I must strike first!"

After his defeat, Ye Chen wasn't dispirited. The battle spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

"Let's do this again!"

Ye Chen immediately flew from the defeated area to the front of the Battle Spirit's statue and once again activated the Female Battle Spirit.

This time, as the Female Battle Spirit soared into the sky, Ye Chen also activated the Azure Dragon Physique almost simultaneously and flew into the sky!

In the sky, Ye Chen didn't wait for the Female Battle Spirit to attack first. With a slight tremor of the Black Fire Sword in his hand, all thirteen of the sword's restrictive seals burst forth. At the same time, the Nine-turn Golden Body patterns and Heavenly Gang Sword Intent were infused into the Black Fire Sword.

Swoosh!

The brightly glowing Black Fire Sword instantly shot towards the Female Battle Spirit.

Then, the Female Battle Spirit gently pointed a finger at Ye Chen, and the vast powers of water and fire from the Heavenly Void Laws surrounded him once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Chen's Black Fire Sword continuously cut through these two Law powers, but an ever greater force overwhelmed him, and he was restrained once more just a few meters away from the Female Battle Spirit.

Ultimately, Ye Chen was eliminated again!

This time, even as he was being disqualified, Ye Chen was struck by the Female Battle Spirit's palm in the chest.

Had Ye Chen not acted quickly to unleash the Qilin Dharma Form, absorbing most of the attack's power, he would have been severely injured by that palm strike!

After his defeat, Ye Chen didn't rush to strike again as before but instead reflected for a while before flying back to confront the Battle Spirit statue that had defeated him twice already.

"Let's do this again!"

For the third time, Ye Chen activated the Female Battle Spirit.

This time, Ye Chen's attack was suddenly transformed into another technique, a sword-flying technique!

This time Ye Chen combined the flying sword technique with the White Tiger Physique's attack, and with the addition of the Heavenly Gang Sword Intent, his attack power increased greatly, even shattering a large area of the Female Battle Spirit's Law Domain!

Although he ultimately couldn't avoid defeat, Ye Chen had made substantial progress.

"Let's do this again!"

After his defeat, Ye Chen analyzed the shortcomings of his attack and once again engaged the Female Battle Spirit for the fourth time...

Battle! Defeat! Battle again!

Ye Chen seemed tireless, facing defeat time and again. But after recuperating with the Azure Dragon Physique's recovery power, he would always launch another attack at the Female Battle Spirit.

Phoenix Spirit, who was watching the battle, nodded her head as she saw Ye Chen repeatedly failing but never disheartened, never giving up.

"Not bad, not arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat."

"Ye Chen will achieve great accomplishments!"

"He still can't defeat the Rotating Pill mid-realm Battle Spirit now, but how old is he? He's only fifteen or sixteen years old, just at the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

"To be able to fight against a Rotating Pill mid-realm Battle Spirit under these circumstances is already something to be proud of!"
