CHAPTER 1175: CHAPTER 1115: THE DEATH OF HUA TIANJUE

Hongjue, just died like that!

Breaking through to the Star Lord realm, such a miracle, seemed to be nothing more than a fleeting moment of glory!

At this moment, Hua Tianjue looked at the completely vanished Hongjue and the Ancient Plate Divine Treasure, feeling a chill down his spine.

Just a moment ago, Hua Tianjue was immensely envious of Hongjue, envious of her acquiring the Ancient Plate and continuously breaking through the realms.

But Hua Tianjue never imagined that Hongjue would die like this, right in front of his eyes!

The Ancient Plate, which could crazily enhance the realm, actually took Hongjue’s life!

Hua Tianjue was utterly terrified.

If it had been him who acquired the Ancient Plate, wouldn’t it mean that the one who died might have been him?!

Thinking of this, Hua Tianjue looked at the two remaining treasures in the void with a bit of fear.

He didn’t know if the remaining two treasures would also lead him to death!

Suddenly.

A shocked Hua Tianjue, as if realizing something, directly cast his gaze at Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, you go first to choose the treasure!" Hua Tianjue said coldly to Ye Chen.

From Hua Tianjue’s words, it was clear that he wanted Ye Chen to take the risk first before he decided on his next move.

In fact, Hua Tianjue had even more thoughts of killing Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen chose a treasure and also fell under its influence, leading to his death, that would be one thing. But if Ye Chen survived and successfully obtained a treasure, Hua Tianjue certainly wouldn’t let Ye Chen walk away with it. With Hongjue no longer there to balance the scales, not only did he want to seize Ye Chen’s treasure, but he also wanted to unravel the big secret hidden on Ye Chen!

"Is Fellow Hua commanding me?"

Upon hearing Hua Tianjue’s cold words, Ye Chen, who was also somewhat shocked by Hongjue’s death, immediately frowned and spoke to Hua Tianjue.

With Hongjue dead, Ye Chen knew Hua Tianjue would no longer hide his malicious intentions.

Of course.

Previously, Ye Chen was not afraid of Hua Tianjue, and he still wouldn’t fear him now!

"If I want to choose a treasure, I will; if not, I won’t. There’s no need for Fellow Hua to command me."

Ye Chen glanced at Hua Tianjue, then turned his head, observing the two treasures in the air without any intention of choosing first.

Ye Chen’s words made Hua Tianjue furious.

"Ye Chen, don’t think that just because you’ve got a few Cosmic Emperor-level treasures and fought your way here, you have the right to look down on me." Hua Tianjue threatened Ye Chen, "If you don’t honestly choose a treasure, I don’t mind killing you first, then refining your corpse for my use!"

"Heh, by that time, even if you wanted to beg for mercy, it would already be too late!"

Hua Tianjue’s threats made Ye Chen snicker disdainfully: "Kill me first? Let’s see if Fellow Hua has the skill!"

Ye Chen was directly confrontational.

"Really not shedding tears until seeing the coffin!" Hua Tianjue, seeing Ye Chen’s attitude, knew this kid wouldn’t follow his arrangement to test the treasure first.

Having been repeatedly refuted by Ye Chen, Hua Tianjue no longer had the desire to waste words with him. He just wanted to kill Ye Chen quickly, refine his corpse, and see if he could use the corpse to retrieve the treasures.

Thinking of this.

Hua Tianjue clapped his hand.

Boom!

A cluster of flame suddenly appeared in the void, striking at Ye Chen at an incredible speed.

This flame was, indeed, the Cosmic Emperor-level flame Hua Tianjue had used to battle against the mutated green beast earlier.

Ye Chen had already sensed the terrifying nature of this flame earlier.

Ye Chen didn’t expect that Hua Tianjue would attack him with this flame right off the bat.

Of course, even knowing the terrifying nature of this flame, Ye Chen showed no fear.

Instead, Ye Chen was interested in observing the flame more carefully.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not bring out any other treasures to counter Hua Tianjue but directly used the Defensive Divine Treasure on him to resist Hua Tianjue’s attack.

When the flame unleashed by Hua Tianjue collided with the defensive power on Ye Chen, it created an earth-shattering explosion and a terrifying blast wave.

It was fortunate that this Treasure Cave was crafted by a Great Divine Practitioner and was unaffected by such battles.

If it were in an ordinary universe outside, this strike would shatter a piece of the Star Continent!

In the midst of the terrifying flame assault, Ye Chen’s defensive power completely withstood Hua Tianjue’s attack, and he even had time to use his "Change of Devouring Fire" ’s mysterious sense to grasp the wonder of this flame.

Ye Chen’s ease alarmed Hua Tianjue greatly.

Hua Tianjue hadn’t imagined that Ye Chen would so effortlessly defend against his attack.

The Defensive Divine Treasure on Ye Chen was clearly more powerful than he had anticipated!

Having already engaged in battle, Hua Tianjue certainly wouldn’t give up halfway. The powerful treasures on Ye Chen made his desire to kill him even more intense.

Whoosh.

Hua Tianjue stretched out a hand and directly retrieved the flame to his side, then pinched a spell with his hand, enveloping himself in the flame, transforming into a giant flame god, and charged towards Ye Chen.

Hua Tianjue no longer directly used the flame to strike at Ye Chen but instead enveloped himself in it to unleash the strongest attack state of the flame.

This attack state, Ye Chen had seen it before.

Back when Hua Tianjue fought the furious green beast, it was in this strongest attack state.

However, Ye Chen similarly showed no signs of concern at this moment; he could sense that his defensive treasure could definitely withstand this level of attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hua Tianjue, like a giant god of flames, pounced toward Ye Chen, but Ye Chen remained completely still. Bathed in the divine light, Ye Chen stood like a towering pillar, unmoved by Hua Tianjue’s attacks.

Ye Chen didn’t even intend to counterattack, simply watching Hua Tianjue’s assault leisurely, comprehending the flame power on Hua Tianjue!

Ye Chen’s actions made Hua Tianjue feel humiliated.

After all, as a Peak Lord, driving a powerful Flame Divine Treasure, he couldn’t even kill an Immortal Divine Venerable, who didn’t even budge under his attack. This was simply a mockery of his combat power!

Hua Tianjue had understood that Ye Chen’s defensive divine treasure was definitely not an ordinary Cosmic Emperor-level treasure; it was clearly mightier than his Flame Divine Treasure!

In this situation, relying solely on the Flame Divine Treasure was not enough to kill Ye Chen.

Even the other treasures he had might not be able to shake Ye Chen.

"This Ye Chen is so bold, it turns out he has such a level of defensive treasure."

"However, does he think these are my only means of attack?!"

At this moment, the enraged Hua Tianjue’s expression suddenly darkened, and his entire body began to emit a blinding white light.

A divine whip-like treasure directly appeared in his hand.

Wrath of the Celestial God!

This was clearly the strongest treasure Hua Tianjue had relied on to break into the Treasure Cave earlier—Wrath of the Celestial God!

Upon taking out this treasure, the previously calm Ye Chen’s expression immediately changed.

Ye Chen could feel the terror of this treasure.

This didn’t seem to be an ordinary Cosmic Emperor-level treasure; it was clearly a top-tier treasure on the brink of entering the Star Lord-level!

Ye Chen had been the first to enter the third Treasure Cave, having never seen Hua Tianjue wield the Wrath of the Celestial God, nor had he witnessed other Masters’ expressions change dramatically upon seeing it.

But instinctively, Ye Chen knew the terror of this newly revealed treasure from Hua Tianjue!

Almost in an instant, something appeared in Ye Chen’s hand.

A fist-sized, entirely crystal-clear, incredibly sparkling ice bead.

Ancient Origin Ice Bead!

In this moment of crisis, Ye Chen directly took out the miraculous Treasure, Ancient Origin Ice Bead, obtained from the front Treasure Cave.

"What, afraid?"

Seeing Ye Chen’s expression change drastically and a new treasure taken out, Hua Tianjue sneered coldly.

With Wrath of the Celestial God in hand.

Hua Tianjue already had absolute confidence that he could kill Ye Chen.

He didn’t care about the new ice bead Ye Chen took out, sensing that this ice bead was just a Cosmic Emperor-level bead and wasn’t stronger than his Wrath of the Celestial God.

"It’s already too late to be afraid. Ye Chen, I said I would kill you and refine you into a corpse, and I will definitely do it!"

"However, before that, I want to perform a Soul Search on you, to see why this Immortal Divine Venerable has so many treasures in hand!"

With a cold laugh, Hua Tianjue directly raised the divine whip-like treasure "Wrath of the Celestial God," ready to strike at Ye Chen.

At this moment, something Hua Tianjue could never have foreseen happened.

Hua Tianjue only saw a surge of power flow from Ye Chen’s hand directly into the ice bead he had dismissed.

In an instant, this ice bead erupted with an incredibly terrifying ice-sealing power!

This ice-sealing power was even more terrifying than his Wrath of the Celestial God!

This ice bead, clearly activated, possessed power far beyond his initial assessment!

Upon sensing the ice bead’s strength for the first time, Hua Tianjue’s Wrath of the Celestial God, which was striking towards Ye Chen, was directly frozen, sealed in the void!

To know that the furious green beast guarding outside the Treasure Cave couldn’t even block the Wrath of the Celestial God.

The ice bead could actually seal the Wrath of the Celestial God!

This was simply enough to make Hua Tianjue gasp in shock.

Finally realizing the endless extent of Ye Chen’s treasures, far surpassing his imagination, Hua Tianjue only thought of escaping the ice-sealing power.

But even though Hua Tianjue reacted quickly, before he could move, the peerless ice-sealing power of the ice bead completely engulfed him.

Not only was Hua Tianjue’s Flame Divine Treasure sealed, turning back into a wisp of flame frozen in the void.

Even Hua Tianjue himself was utterly sealed within the Treasure Cave!

What terrified Hua Tianjue even more was that this ice-sealing power could not only freeze him, but within it was an unmatched killing force that directly attacked him the moment he was frozen.

Pff!

Almost in the moment Hua Tianjue hadn’t even reacted, his entire physical body, along with his Divine Soul, were killed right on the spot!
