While Wan Junxie was caught by surprise, Ye Chen had wielded Thunder Dash. With a “swish”, he escaped the Frightening Demon Claw and flew away.
The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron floated in the air in the distance. The three longswords – Celestial Ice Sword, Searing Sun Sword, and Storm Sword were humming in the air. The two Boundless Stage combatants exchanged looks with one another. Not too far away, there were also seven Godly Venerable Rank combatants and some Mystique Venerable Rank combatants. Meanwhile, Ye Chen’s Astral Body had suffered a tremendous shock.
One Buck and the Golden Sun Condor were fighting for their lives, engaged in a battle to the death with the Godly Venerable Rank combatants.
The faint binding secret technique still surrounded Ye Chen, preventing him from entering the Heavenly Astra Seal. If he escaped using Thunder Dash, then the Golden Sun Condor and One Buck would surely die.
Unless Ye Chen deployed a superior tactic, all of them would die here today!
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. With a “swish” of his right hand, he took out the Demon Suppressing Watch.
“I wonder how great the effect of this Demon Suppressing Watch will be!” Ye Chen held the Demon Suppressing Watch in his hand. A mysterious energy began to pulse from it.
Wan Junxie and Hu Feng suddenly sensed something amiss. They looked up and saw Ye Chen holding a black watch in his hands.
“What’s that black watch now?”
“How many treasures does this kid have?”
The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron already drove Hu Feng into a corner. Now, this black watch was definitely extraordinary as well!
“We cannot let this kid continue to activate more treasures!” The two Boundless Stage combatants turned into meteors and shot straight at Ye Chen.
Hu Feng waved the steel blade with his left hand. Blade shadows soared through the clouds. At the same time, Wan Junxie held a silver spear with both hands and thrust it in Ye Chen’s direction.
The two Boundless Stage energies contained immeasurable Absolute Martial Truth, almost enough to tear the sky apart.
The apex of Martial Truth can shatter the heavens!
Seeing the two Boundless Stage combatants coming toward him like meteors, Ye Chen growled softly. Tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills from inside his armguard space surged out like a fountain and launched themselves into the Demon Suppressing Watch.
“Boom, boom, boom.” The moment that the medicinal pills hit the Demon Suppressing Watch, they exploded and turned into streams of Celestial Chi, merging with the Demon Suppressing Watch. In addition, Ye Chen’s body also channeled Celestial Chi into the Demon Suppressing Watch.
The fountain of pills continued to gush.
The flying dagger in Ye Chen’s consciousness vibrated strongly as it poured out copious amounts of Celestial Chi.
As of this instant, tens of thousands of Chi Deposition Pills had disappeared into the Demon Suppressing Watch.
The Celestial Chi inside Ye Chen’s body had also been largely consumed.
The Demon Suppressing Watch remained dull. Despite the huge injection of Chi Deposition Pills and Celestial Chi, they were like a drop in the ocean. There was no reaction whatsoever.
Now, the two Boundless Stage combatants were just a hair’s breadth away.
“Master Lion, what’s going on?” Ye Chen shouted anxiously. Why haven’t the Demon Suppressing Watch responded even after he injected so many Chi Deposition Pills and Celestial Chi?
“Could I be mistaken? Youngling Ye Chen, try injecting more medicinal pills?” Master Lion replied with uncertainty.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to take a gamble!
If Ye Chen could not activate the Demon Suppressing Watch, he would die here today. No matter how much medicinal pills it took, he did not care!
The Celestial Chi in Ye Chen’s body surged into the Demon Suppressing Watch like a river while more pills flew out of the armguard space and into the Demon Suppressing Watch.
In an instant, Ye Chen had used up more than fifty or sixty thousand Chi Deposition Pills. The frenzied fountains of pills contained enough sufficient Celestial Chi to fill an entire lake.
“Activate right now!” Ye Chen roared angrily, urging on the frenzied flow of Celestial Chi. The Demon Suppressing Watch seemed to emit a dim shimmer.
The two Boundless Stage combatants had already rushed up to him. “Rumble, rumble.” Two incredible blasts of Celestial Chi landed on Ye Chen’s body. The Purple Demon Armor glowed brightly, absorbing a large portion of the impact, yet Ye Chen was still sent flying.
“Die!” Hu Feng and Wan Junxie’s faces looked grim.
Their attack was unable to break the Purple Demon Armor. Instead, the force was reduced into shadowy wisps. Nevertheless, in just one instant, the Purple Demon Armor had endured the equivalent of several hundred attacks. The defensive seal on Ye Chen’s Purple Demon Armor seemed to be reaching a limit.
Ye Chen involuntarily flew into the sky, his right hand still tightly gripping the Demon Suppressing Watch.
“Why can’t it activate? Activate now!” Ye Chen bellowed in rage. The dark shimmer on the Demon Suppressing Watch began to glow a little brighter.
Scores of pills flew out of the armguard space, but they were knocked aside by Hu Feng and Wan Junxie’s Boundless Stage Celestial Chi. Now, Ye Chen could only inject his own Celestial Chi into the Demon Suppressing Watch.
“Drop it right now!” Wan Junxie thundered. The spear in his hand struck Ye Chen’s right arm violently, trying to force Ye Chen to let go of the Demon Suppressing Watch.
A powerful force pierced through the Purple Demon Armor and hit Ye Chen’s right arm. Ye Chen’s right arm turned numb for a while and the Demon Suppressing Watch almost fell.
The attack of a Boundless Stage combatant was indeed powerful. Although more than ninety percent of this force had been blocked by the Purple Demon Armor, the remaining force that pierced through the armor still gave Ye Chen a frightening effect. If not for the Purple Demon Armor, Ye Chen’s arm would have turned into a bloody mist.
“Demon Suppressing Watch, activate right now!” Ye Chen howled like a madman. The Demon Suppressing Watch gave a “hum”, and then, a bright dazzling light burst into the air.
“Ding!”
A loud bell resounded and reverberated across the sky.
“Ahhhh!” Wan Junxie and Hu Feng seemed to hear a terrifying sound. They covered their ears and screamed in pain. The weapons in their hands fell as they struggled in the air.
Ye Chen could feel that the area within a few tens of meters radius of the Demon Suppressing Watch was being shrouded within a strange field. Inside this field, space was twisted erratically.
“What’s happening?”
“This is the Demon Suppressing Watch’s subspace. A Human Tier spirit artifact is equivalent to a Transcendent Stage powerhouse, so it could form its subspace. Youngling Ye Chen, your medicinal pills can only activate this subspace for a short time!” Master Lion said in a panicked voice.
Subspace was something only a Transcendent Stage master could wield. Therefore, it could completely suppress a Boundless Stage combatant!
Nevertheless, the Demon Suppressing Watch’s subspace was still a tad inferior compared to a true Transcendent Stage master.
This Demon Suppressing Watch was truly formidable! Just its bell toll alone almost broke their eardrums, causing them immense pain. Wan Junxie and Hu Feng looked up. They sensed the power of a subspace, something only a Transcendent Stage master possessed!
“Go!”
“Escape!”
Hu Feng and Wan Junxie seemed to make up their minds at the same time. They turned around to leave, but were alarmed to find that the subspace had suppressed them to the point of suffocation.
“Suppress them!” Ye Chen commanded angrily. The Demon Suppressing Watch fell and grew larger. Wan Junxie and Hu Feng, the two Boundless Stage combatants, were shrouded by the Demon Suppressing Watch.
There was a loud “boom”, like the sound of an earthquake. The Demon Suppressing Watch trapped Wan Junxie and Hu Feng underneath the body of the watch.
“Let us out!”
“If you kill us, the Temple of War will not let you go!”
Wan Junxie and Hu Feng continued to attack the Demon Suppressing Watch from the inside. “Dong, dong, dong”, the bells began to chime. Wan Junxie and Hu Feng shrieked painfully.
“Master Lion, how can I kill them?” Ye Chen asked. If Wan Junxie and Hu Feng managed to escape, then Ye Chen would be dead. In the last few moments, Ye Chen had already used up more than one hundred thousand Chi Deposition Pills. The remaining amount of Chi Deposition Pills could only activate it a few more times.
“The Demon Suppressing Watch can only suppress them, it cannot kill them. If you let them stay inside the Demon Suppressing Watch for a while, the subspace will absorb a portion of their Celestial Chi. Even then, when they come out, you still might not be able to fight them. You can, however, use this opportunity to escape. Revenge is a dish best served cold, you can always dish it out to them later!” Master Lion said.
The Demon Suppressing Watch could only suppress Wan Junxie and Hu Feng, but it could not kill them. As a Human Tier spirit artifact, the Demon Suppressing Watch was considered very powerful. Of course, in terms of tier level, it could not compare to Emperor Ming’s belt or the Heaven Rumbling Cauldron, but its effect was quite remarkable.
The Demon Suppressing Watch moved, most probably because Wan Junxie and Hu Feng were blasting it from the inside. Nevertheless, it appeared unruffled.
Now that Wan Junxie and Hu Feng were temporarily suppressed, Ye Chen looked around. He saw the Golden Sun Condor falling from the sky with a wail, sprinkling the ground with blood. Although the Golden Sun Condor had broken through to beginner Daemon King Rank after swallowing the Chi-shaping Spirit Pill, its cultivation was not yet stabilized. How could it possibly challenge Godly Venerable Rank combatants from the Temple of War?
On the other side, One Buck was under siege by four Godly Venerable Rank combatants. His clothes were tattered and his body was covered with blood. Fortunately, One Buck was a peak Daemon King, and also had a tough body. Otherwise, he would have died.
Another two Godly Venerable Rank combatants were chasing after Zhu Gonggong, but Zhu Gonggong slipped away very quickly. Despite their fervent pursuit, the two Godly Venerable Rank combatants could not catch Zhu Gonggong.
“You want to capture this Zhu Gonggong, no way! This god-like pig is as swift as the wind!” Zhu Gonggong harrumphed as he fled.
The Godly Venerable Rank combatants looked at Ye Chen in shock. Both of their Grand Supreme Elders had been suppressed by this gigantic black watch? They glanced at Ye Chen, still dressed in his Purple Demon Armor, and felt a shiver running down their spines.
“Who is this person?”
“This person managed to suppress the two Grand Supreme Elders!”
The seven Godly Venerable Rank combatants stopped in their tracks and looked at one another. They stared at Ye Chen, but they could only see his Purple Demon Armor, not his facial expression. Ye Chen raised his head slightly and looked back at them. They seemed to be frozen in place and their breathing became difficult.
They did not know that behind the Purple Demon Armor, Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi cultivation was only mid-Mystique Venerable Rank. Even his Astral Body cultivation was merely at beginner Daemon King Rank. The reason Ye Chen was able to suppress Wan Junxie and Hu Feng was all because of this incredible Human Tier Demon Suppressing Watch!
After exchanging looks with one another, all the Godly Venerable Rank combatants seemed to come to a decision.
“Let’s go!” All of them prepared to escape.
“Go? Not so easy!” Ye Chen’s voice rang out like an eerie spirit. He wielded Thunder Dash. With a “swoosh”, he rushed at one of the Godly Venerable Rank combatants. The Celestial Ice Sword, Searing Sun Sword, and Storm Sword seemed to be drawn along as they followed behind him. The Heaven Rumbling Cauldron also continued to spin and slam toward the Temple of War combatants.
