CHAPTER 1239: CHAPTER 1171: THE FOURTH DEMON DOMAIN

"Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen, my friend!"

"Brother Ye Chen!"

Seeing Ye Chen walk out, Tianli Weiwei, the four Peak Lords, Chining Xiaoxiao, and others swarmed towards him.

Especially Tianli Weiwei, who was so overjoyed that she burst into tears.

After all, in the first Flash Change Fire Environment at Flame Mountain, Ye Chen saved her life, so how could she not be grateful to Ye Chen? Seeing that Ye Chen hadn’t come out, Tianli Weiwei was worried that Ye Chen might have perished inside the Flash Change Demon Realm, since it had already reached the seventh Flash Environment in there.

At this moment, seeing Ye Chen safely emerge from the seventh Flash Environment, naturally made Tianli Weiwei extremely delighted.

"Brother Ye Chen, you must have reaped great rewards this time, right?"

"Can you tell me what exactly you gained? I’m dying of curiosity."

Seeing Ye Chen return safely, Chining Xiaoxiao also sighed in relief and, smiling, asked Ye Chen.

At this moment, Chining Xiaoxiao no longer harbored any thoughts of comparing himself with Ye Chen.

He couldn’t compare anyway.

Now, he only wanted to get along well with Ye Chen; he would even be willing to be Ye Chen’s sidekick.

After all, Ye Chen’s miraculous feats truly astonished this talented young generation from the Cosmic Sea South Pole Region.

"Rewards?" Hearing Chining Xiaoxiao’s inquiry, Ye Chen smiled, "Indeed, there were some rewards."

"But... I can’t tell you."

"Not telling me again." Hearing Ye Chen’s response, Chining Xiaoxiao felt frustrated, but he kept his posture low, "Alright, you’re the boss, if you don’t want to say, then don’t say it."

Ye Chen certainly wouldn’t tell Chining Xiaoxiao about the things he gained inside the Flash Change Demon Realm.

Because the rewards inside were simply too great!

This was also the reason for the smile on Ye Chen’s face when he came out.

Although Ye Chen came out earlier than Star Lord Ning Luo and Star Lord Fang Chong, Ye Chen had been in the seventh Flash Environment long enough to use the Flash Change Seed to come out.

In the seventh Flash Environment, Ye Chen continuously let the Ancient Origin Ice Bead absorb the terrifying cold power inside, and to Ye Chen’s extreme delight, the continuous absorption and enhancement of the Ancient Origin Ice Bead really resulted in an incredible transformation.

Ultimately, the Ancient Origin Ice Bead underwent a metamorphosis that continually amazed Ye Chen.

This Divine Bead actually transformed into a genuine Star Lord level treasure!

Even though Ye Chen hadn’t yet tested the combat power of the transformed Ancient Origin Ice Bead in battle, just sensing it, Ye Chen could tell that the ability to withstand the Ancient Origin Ice Bead was now much stronger than before; not only could it still freeze and even kill anything below Star Lord level, but now that it had transformed to Star Lord level, it could likely pose a threat to many Star Lord level beings or objects!

The Ancient Origin Ice Bead, having transformed to Star Lord level, provided Ye Chen with Star Lord level killing power!

This, of course, was exhilarating!

At the same time.

Because the Ancient Origin Ice Bead helped to withstand the terrifying cold in the seventh Flash Environment, Ye Chen was also able to successfully cultivate the seventh Astrology—Snow Astral Aspect to a deep level.

Adding to the six previous Astrologies, at this moment, Ye Chen’s power in just the All Elements Canon Astrology was already incredibly formidable.

Not to mention, there was also the Divine Stick from the Dragon Palace that Ye Chen hadn’t even started cultivating yet.

It is very likely that it is also a Divine Object comparable to the Ancient Origin Ice Bead!

Additionally, the accumulation for the Origin Star Aperture within the seven Flash Environments brought Ye Chen increasingly closer to reaching the Third Extreme in the Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.

Ye Chen will soon gain significant assistance from the Tai Yu Chapter once again.

All these countless rewards came from within the Flash Change Demon Realm, how could Ye Chen not be delighted?!

Now, he arrived at a valley in the third Demon Realm.

A large crowd surrounded Ye Chen, their faces full of admiration and respect.

After all, since entering the Nine Bends Demon Realm, Ye Chen’s performance has been truly astonishing, not weak even compared to the Five Star Lords, and in some respects, even stronger.

This naturally drew countless admirers to Ye Chen.

And another large group, though not gathered around Ye Chen, was constantly watching him, among them were the Three Star Lords who came out earlier.

At this moment, the Three Star Lords would occasionally observe Ye Chen, all because the impact Ye Chen had on them was too great.

Time continued to pass...

After Ye Chen and the Three Star Lords came out from the seventh Flash Environment, it wasn’t long before Star Lord Fang Chong came out from the Flash Change Snow Environment.

Star Lord Fang Chong also wore a smile on his face.

Evidently, within the Flash Environments, he too had significant gains.

And about a cup of tea’s worth of time after Star Lord Fang Chong came out, Star Lord Ning Luo also came out from the Flash Change Snow Environment.

However, Star Lord Ning Luo had a look of excitement mixed with regret on her face.

Evidently, she too had gains in the Flash Environments, but there also appeared to be some regrets.

However, once these two Star Lords came out, like Ye Chen, they didn’t discuss their gains from the Flash Environments with others, only inquired about others’ experiences in the Flash Environments.

When hearing that Ye Chen came out only a little earlier than the two of them but later than the other three Star Lords, yet reached the seventh Flash Environment, Star Lord Fang Chong once again gave Ye Chen a deep look, and Star Lord Ning Luo also seriously studied Ye Chen several more times.

Once all the Five Star Lords had come out.

Within the third section of the Demon Realm, a voice devoid of any emotion sounded directly again: "All those who challenged the Flash Environment and are still alive have come out."

"Now, proceed to open the fourth section of the Demon Realm!"

As soon as this voice finished speaking, a burst of sorrowful cries filled the air.

Because the meaning of these words was that those who hadn’t come out had all perished within the Flash Environment.

Initially, some people were still unwilling to believe this fact.

But at this moment, I had no choice but to face this cruel outcome.

"My son Lianchi, hasn’t come out either!" At this moment, the Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, Situ Nan, cried in pain.

Beside him, there were only a small half of the people left in the Immortal Divine Palace, and Situ Lianchi, who had been following him, never came out after entering the Flash Change Environment of the Third Demon Region.

"Situ Lianchi... died?!"

It was only now that many people realized this.

Thinking of Situ Lianchi’s elegant demeanor, many showed expressions of regret.

"Situ Lianchi died?"

Ye Chen also furrowed his brow and shook his head helplessly.

For Ye Chen, he had conflicts with Situ Lianchi, but Ye Chen never regarded such a person seriously.

He didn’t even care about Situ Lianchi’s situation.

Upon hearing of Situ Lianchi’s death now, he just felt it was a pity, but there was not much emotional ripple.

Indeed.

Those who died in the Third Demon Region were obviously not only Situ Lianchi.

More than a hundred million people entered the Third Demon Region, but now, only fifty million are alive and standing in the valley.

Most died within the Flash Change Environment.

Many people were truly frightened by the terrifying extent of the Nine Bends Demon Realm this time.

Adding up with the first two demon regions, nearly three hundred million died out of the four hundred million who entered the Nine Bends Demon Realm, with only a part choosing to leave early, and only fifty million remained.

Just when many were having second thoughts.

That voice, void of any emotional ripple, continued: "The Fourth Demon Region, due to some special circumstances, I can reveal some information in advance."

"The Fourth Demon Region is, like the First Demon Region, a safe zone within the Nine Bends Demon Realm where no one will die."

"Thus, you all can enter the Fourth Demon Region!"

Wow!

When this voice fell, the vast majority of the fifty million people in the field cheered.

Finally, another safe demon region!

The mortality rates of the Second Demon Region Valley of Death and the Third Demon Region Flash Change Environment were too high and frightening, causing many to reconsider.

Now, being able to safely enter the Fourth Demon Region, how could these people not be overjoyed?

Indeed, many who were initially grieving have now forgotten their sorrow, their mind and spirit already pondering the situation of the Fourth Demon Region.

Palace Master Situ Nan of the Immortal Divine Palace was also too eager to mourn the fall of Situ Lianchi, wishing to quickly move to the Fourth Demon Region.

Thinking alike with Situ Nan, many looked towards the sky.

The teleportation to the previous demon regions were all via golden rings appearing in the sky; entering them would lead to the next demon region. Now, everyone eagerly awaited the appearance of that golden ring.

And that voice, void of any emotional ripple, seemed to understand what everyone wanted, as a vast golden circle entrance appeared directly above the Void Heaven of the valley.

"Fly into this circle, and you’ll enter the Fourth Demon Region."

"Now, you have a quarter of an hour for everyone to enter!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When this voice fell, countless people instantly flew towards the entrance.

The Fourth Demon Region is a safe zone; naturally, no one would choose to leave.

In just a few dozen breaths, all fifty million people had entered the Fourth Demon Region!

Upon arriving in the Fourth Demon Region, Ye Chen was surprised to find the entire demon region was in seven-colored hues.

Even more astonishing was that the sky of this demon region was adorned with celestial bodies of seven colors!

These seven colors were: cyan, blue, yellow, fire, purple, silver, and gold.

"What a unique demon region!"

"Is this the Fourth Demon Region then?"

"Here, what awaits us?"

Ye Chen and everyone who entered the Fourth Demon Region stared at the radiant brilliance emitted by the seven-colored celestial bodies above, and the rainbow spectrum on the earth, guessing what events might unfold in the Fourth Demon Region.

At this time, the emotionless voice continued to appear in this Fourth Demon Region.

"The Fourth Demon Region is named ’Sky-reaching Path’!"

"In front of each of you, an exclusive path shall appear."

"This path will manifest different levels based on your overall ability."

"The lowest level path is a single-color path, the Heaven-reaching Cyan Path."

"The highest level path, with all seven colors, is the highest-grade Heaven-reaching Extreme Path!"

"Depending on the level of the Sky-reaching Path, the trials and rewards you face on it will differ accordingly."

"Of course, I must remind you, the Sky-reaching Path that appears for each person only represents the initial assessment of the Nine Bends Demon Realm on you, but whether you can gain rewards from the Sky-reaching Path depends on whether you can overcome the corresponding hurdles on the path."

"Only by overcoming all the hurdles can you obtain all the rewards above!"

"Remember, the best reward for everyone is at the very last checkpoint; you must strive to obtain the best reward belonging to you!"

"Now, everyone disperse into a line, prepared to meet your Sky-reaching Path!"
