CHAPTER 1249: CHAPTER 1179: THE POWER OF THE DIVINE STICK

Strangers and old friends.

Ye Chen’s mood was rather complex.

Although Ye Chen only had a passing acquaintance with Lin Jing, their relationship was not very close, certainly not like with Jiang Yao and Long Li.

But, after all, she was an old acquaintance, someone who once ventured through Martial Arts with him.

Ye Chen certainly wouldn’t stand by and let Lin Jing be bullied by others.

From the moment he confirmed she was Lin Jing, Ye Chen decided to protect these two women thoroughly.

Not to mention, now surrounding them were just a few ordinary Masters, even if it were the Cosmic Emperor, what would Ye Chen have to fear?

Watching Lin Jing look around, trying to see who was transmitting sound to her, Ye Chen simply smiled and transmitted to her again: "Do you still remember slaying the Snake Demon at Silent Ridge in Mirror Lake?"

Silent Ridge slaying the Snake Demon at Mirror Lake?

Upon hearing these words, Lin Jing’s mind was blown!

She could never forget this event!

Because, within this event, there was someone she could never forget!

"Ye Chen?!"

"Are you Ye Chen?"

Lin Jing couldn’t help but shout out.

Although there were several companions when slaying the Snake Demon at Mirror Lake, Lin Jing knew the only one capable of coming here to the Sea of Exile could only be that unforgettable genius, Ye Chen!

Moreover, Lin Jing herself knew that she appeared here because she wanted to catch up to Ye Chen’s footsteps!

Lin Jing hurriedly looked around, but among the crowd, there was no familiar face.

Lin Jing’s sudden shout startled Overlord Jialing and the other six overlords of Rageflame Island.

"Jing’er, what’s wrong?" Overlord Jialing looked at Lin Jing, she had never seen her little disciple so flustered.

Lin Jing shook her head, not seeing Ye Chen, an overwhelming disappointment surged in her heart.

Lin Jing wanted to hear the transmission again, but no sound entered her mind again.

Could the transmission just now have been an illusion?

Lin Jing looked dazedly around, saying nothing, her mind in a fog.

Upon seeing Lin Jing’s strange appearance, the six overlords of Rageflame Island snorted coldly.

They didn’t care in the slightest about a Junior God King.

As for the Ye Chen mentioned by this Junior God King?

They felt the name was somewhat familiar, but what big figure could a Junior God King know?

If she truly knew a big figure, Thousand Extremes Island wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Thinking of this, the six paid no heed to the dazed Lin Jing and looked directly at Overlord Jialing. One of the Greater Tribulation overlords sneered: "Jialing, you said we six couldn’t trap you; I’d like to see how you escape."

"Escape. Come on, if you have the ability, run now!"

The other five overlords folded their arms around Overlord Jialing and Lin Jing, coldly watching them.

Overlord Jialing gritted her teeth, ready to use a Secret Treasure given by the Island Master when they left the island. But she was suddenly taken aback.

Because, out of the crowd watching, stepped a somewhat plump, middle-aged man in fine clothes.

As soon as the middle-aged man stepped out, he called out at the six overlords: "Six overlords bullying two women, what a joke."

"I’ll handle this matter today!" Jiang Li declared.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

This plump, middle-aged man in fine clothes was, of course, Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen stepped out, he immediately drew a lot of attention from those around.

Lin Jing was the first to look at Ye Chen, knowing the person stepping out might be the one who transmitted sound to her, the one who knew about the slaying of the Snake Demon at Silent Ridge Mirror Lake.

Originally, Lin Jing hoped eagerly that the person stepping out would be the young man she was familiar with and longed for. But seeing that it was instead a plump, middle-aged man in fine clothes surprised Lin Jing.

"Jiang Li?"

"Could he be a friend of Ye Chen’s, which is why he knows about Ye Chen? But if he’s a friend of Ye Chen’s, he wouldn’t be able to recognize me immediately."

"Or does he truly come out to right a wrong, and the transmission just now was merely my illusion?"

Lin Jing was still in a daze.

However, Lin Jing was filled with countless doubts, while the six overlords of Rageflame Island felt entirely differently.

Someone suddenly stepping in made the six overlords uneasy, fearing encountering a powerful figure interfering in this matter.

But when they turned and saw only a Divine Master Realm slightly plump middle-aged man stepping forward, the six were enraged to laughter.

"You?"

"With just you, you want to meddle in our Rageflame Island’s affairs?"

The weakest of the six, a Lower Tribulation overlord, looked at Ye Chen with utter disdain.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Like you, a first-level Divine Master, I could obliterate you with one hand!"

Overlord Jialing too was taken aback upon seeing Ye Chen’s realm; she hadn’t expected someone would jump out to help them, especially someone just into the realm of a Divine Master.

"This..." Overlord Jialing hadn’t spoken yet when Ye Chen smiled and looked at the six overlords of Rageflame Island: "You could obliterate me with one hand?"

"Then by all means, try."

Ye Chen swaggered forward.

"What a fool!"

"Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

In the Sea of Exile, villains were already numerous, and the six overlords of Rageflame Island were not ones to be benevolent. Seeing a mere Divine Master repeatedly provoke them, these six were filled with killing intent.

After all, countless people die in the Abyss every year!

What’s the harm in one more?

The weakest among them, a Lower Tribulation Overlord, let out a cold snort as divine power surged from his hands, transforming into a terrifying flame that sought to engulf Ye Chen from above!

"Watch out!"

Seeing that the Lower Tribulation Overlord was truly making a move, Overlord Jialing and Lin Jing both exclaimed in shock.

Overlord Jialing couldn’t resist wanting to help Ye Chen fend off this deadly strike.

She couldn’t bear to see this Divine Master, who stood up for them, die meaninglessly.

However, the next moment, Overlord Jialing was stunned.

Just before she moved, she felt a gentle force enveloping her entire being.

This gentle force gave her a sense of indomitability.

It was as if she was feeling the presence of a Cosmic Emperor!

Simultaneously, Overlord Jialing heard a voice in her mind: "No need to worry, elder. The six on Rageflame Island cannot harm me."

The next moment, Overlord Jialing witnessed a scene she would never forget.

As the terrifying flame of killing force from the Lower Tribulation Overlord descended upon the refined middle-aged man, the man opened his mouth and swallowed the flame whole.

The Lower Tribulation Overlord’s flame attack!

Swallowed by a mere First-level Divine Master!

And the First-level Divine Master was completely unharmed!

He even spoke casually: "This flame power is too weak."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Chen’s nonchalant demeanor startled the surrounding onlookers, and terrified the six overlords of Rageflame Island as if they had seen a ghost!

The onlookers had initially thought that this First-level Divine Master was a fool for challenging the six overlords with his Divine Master Realm.

But with this move, he proved otherwise, showing he was not an ordinary Divine Master.

He might indeed have the power to handle the six overlords!

"Not an idiot, definitely not a fool!"

"What a prodigious talent!"

The hearts of the onlookers were deeply shaken.

The six overlords couldn’t believe it, and the Lower Tribulation Overlord couldn’t restrain himself, unleashing another terrifying killing force towards Ye Chen.

Of course, Ye Chen would not let the six overlords keep trying to kill him.

Seeing the Lower Tribulation Overlord attacking again, Ye Chen frowned.

In the next moment, Ye Chen gently uttered a word: "Grow!"

Instantly, a spiritual light appeared in Ye Chen’s hand, which was a divine needle-like object. Upon Ye Chen’s command, it expanded rapidly, transforming into a divine stick over two persons long.

This divine stick was none other than the Ruyi Qiankun Rod, which Ye Chen had acquired from the Dragon Palace Dragon King.

This rod was unseen during his time in the Nine Bends Demon Realm and was perfectly suitable for disciplining these six overlords.

As the enlarged Ruyi Qiankun Rod landed in Ye Chen’s palm, Ye Chen swung it to counter the attacking killing force from the Lower Tribulation Overlord once more.

What kind of divine object was the Ruyi Qiankun Rod?

Even if Ye Chen concealed ninety-nine percent of its divine might, using only a fraction, the divine might was something the Lower Tribulation Overlord could not withstand.

One strike!

Ye Chen shattered the killing force of the Lower Tribulation Overlord’s attack, knocking him flying.

"Ah!"

The Lower Tribulation Overlord screamed in agony, horrified to discover that the divine power enveloping his body was scattered by the strike, and his divine body shattered.

This Lower Tribulation Overlord was reduced to a True God, and his True God Realm rapidly declined further, instantly making him a cripple!

"What is this thing?!"

The Lower Tribulation Overlord was frightened to death, having never seen such a fearsome divine stick.

From the moment Ye Chen made his move to the Lower Tribulation Overlord’s defeat, it was but an instant. The remaining five overlords were preparing to attack Ye Chen together, but upon witnessing the fate of the Lower Tribulation Overlord, they were petrified.

The five overlords could clearly sense that they could not withstand the divine might of this rod.

"Run!"

"This person is terrifying!"

In an instant, they had this thought in their minds.

The five of them scattered in different directions, fleeing at breakneck speed.

But the next moment brought another shocking turn of events.

Ye Chen swung the rod again, and it split into five dazzling lights, pursuing each fleeing overlord.

The five divine rod lights were incomprehensibly fast!

No matter how fast the five overlords fled, they could not outrun the rod’s divine might!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the divine stick struck all five to the ground, reducing them to the same crippled state as the initial Lower Tribulation Overlord, their realms plunged into oblivion.

The five lay on the ground wailing in pain!

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

Overlord Jialing was also dumbfounded.

Even the normally dazed Lin Jing widened her eyes in astonishment at the rod’s terrifying power.
