Chapter 1711: Chapter 1708: Star Storage Tower
The words of Star Cloud Ancestor echoed across the heavens like rolling thunder.
Seeing Li Chen defeat the legendary invincible Immortal, all the onlookers were dumbfounded.
For a long time, they couldn’t come to their senses.
They dared not believe that everything before them was real!
The person most unwilling to accept this was undoubtedly Zhai Xingzi!
In his mind, his master, Star Cloud Ancestor, was an unbeatable myth.
Yet he never thought that the myth he revered as invincible would actually flee in defeat.
Moreover, he was defeated by a young junior.
Even seeing it with his own eyes, Zhai Xingzi couldn’t accept this fact.
Just as Zhai Xingzi was in a daze, Li Chen’s voice, like that of a Death God, suddenly erupted, shocking him to the core.
"Zhai Xingzi, I want to see who can save you today?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s thunderous rebuke, Zhai Xingzi was jolted awake.
At this moment, his gaze toward Li Chen was filled with fear.
And full of despair!
Suddenly, he let out a bitter smile.
"Haha, who would have thought that even I, Zhai Xingzi, would face today. Heaven wants to destroy me, heaven wants to destroy me, heaven wants to destroy me!"
After shouting "Heaven wants to destroy me" three times, he gathered all his True Yuan into his palm and struck it atop his skull.
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded in the sky, shaking the entire void intensely and almost causing it to collapse.
Zhai Xingzi, once acclaimed as the number one in Wuyu and master of Xingyun Hall, met his end!
After Zhai Xingzi’s suicide, the world instantly fell into dead silence.
The observing cultivators dared not look at Li Chen directly, lowering their heads to show their humble attitude.
After a long while, Snow Princess stepped forward, speaking in an incredulous tone: "Never thought you could actually kill Zhai Xingzi!"
Hearing Snow Princess’s words, Li Chen nonchalantly smiled, seeming not to take the matter to heart.
To him, not just Zhai Xingzi, even Star Cloud Ancestor, was no different from an ant.
At most, they could only be considered stronger ants.
Seeing Li Chen’s smug demeanor, Snow Princess couldn’t help but pout.
Immediately, her gaze fell upon the distant void where Star Cloud Ancestor fled, asking worriedly: "If I am not mistaken, what we just saw wasn’t Star Cloud Ancestor’s true form but merely a Divine Soul Avatar?"
Li Chen didn’t hide anything from Snow Princess.
In fact, there was no reason to conceal it.
After all, anyone who wasn’t a fool could see that Star Cloud Ancestor earlier was just an avatar and not the true form.
"Indeed, it was a Star Cloud Ancestor avatar!"
Snow Princess pondered briefly and said: "You not only destroyed Xingyun Hall but also killed Zhai Xingzi and injured Star Cloud Ancestor’s avatar. Given Star Cloud Ancestor’s vengeful nature, he surely won’t let this slide easily. How do you plan to handle what’s next?"
Li Chen had already considered Snow Princess’s words.
Star Cloud Ancestor will surely return for revenge!
However, definitely not now.
In the battle just now, although Star Cloud Ancestor’s avatar managed to escape, it had still sustained serious injuries.
This will likewise harm Star Cloud Ancestor’s true form’s foundation.
Therefore, the likelihood of him coming to seek revenge before fully recovering is very low.
According to Li Chen’s understanding, having sustained such severe injuries to the avatar, even with the aid of Spiritual Medicine like Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Star Cloud Ancestor would still need a good ten years or so to fully recover.
If no Spiritual Medicine aids the healing, relying solely on Star Cloud Ancestor’s body’s self-regenerative abilities would take even longer. A hundred and eighty years might even be short.
So Li Chen still has some time!
Moreover, judging by his experience, Star Cloud Ancestor’s true form should just be at Tribulation Crossing First Level.
At most, it could be at the peak of Tribulation Crossing First Level, definitely not at Tribulation Crossing Second Level.
The Tribulation Transcendence Realm is different from other realms; its grading is stricter, with a total of nine levels.
In Li Chen’s past life, he reached Tribulation Crossing Ninth Level!
Thus, he has a very clear perception of the power of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Based on his current strength, if he uses the Meteorite Heart, he would easily defeat Star Cloud Ancestor at the peak of Tribulation Crossing First Level.
His cultivation must at least reach Late Stage of Mahayana.
Just to be extra safe, he’d need the Late Stage of Mahayana Perfection.
To rise one realm in ten years would be unthinkable for most.
But for Li Chen, it’s no difficult task.
Especially with the accumulation of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from Zhai Xingzi over the millennia and Xingyun Hall’s entire Treasure Vault.
Thus, with these resources, alongside the help of the Meteorite Heart, for Li Chen, breaking through would be a walk in the park.
After brief chats with Snow Princess, Li Chen moved into the Treasure Vault of Xingyun Hall, looting his spoils.
If not, and other cultivators seize the chance while Xingyun Hall is destroyed, he’d suffer a great loss.
The surviving disciples of Xingyun Hall, seeing the Killing God Li Chen barging in, were terrified, pleading on the ground.
Li Chen’s gaze locked onto a disciple with Late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivation, questioning with a firm voice: "Who are you, and what role do you serve in Xingyun Hall?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s inquiry, the disciple trembled involuntarily, nervously responding: "I, I, I am Wang Dong, the Deacon of Xingyun Hall’s Outer Mountain!"
Hearing Wang Dong’s words, Li Chen smiled coldly and asked: "Do you want to live or die?"
Wang Dong quickly prostrated on the ground, offering his obeisance to Li Chen.
"Of course, I want to live!"
Seeing this, a satisfied smile lifted across Li Chen’s lips.
"Very good, now I command you to gather all surviving disciples of Xingyun Hall together. Whoever wishes to live must work for me. Those who refuse shall be executed without mercy!"
After saying this, Li Chen paused for a moment, his voice suddenly cold as he questioned harshly: "Do you understand?"
Terrified, Wang Dong nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at grains.
"I understand, I will definitely follow the immortal’s lead!"
Li Chen seemed satisfied with Wang Dong’s attitude, waved his hand, and said: "Alright, now take me to your Xingyun Hall’s Treasure Vault!"
Wang Dong quickly agreed, leading Li Chen toward the Treasure Vault.
Arriving at a seven-story pavilion named "Star Storage Tower," Wang Dong stopped and duly addressed Li Chen:
"Immortal, this Star Storage Tower is our Xingyun Hall’s Treasure Vault, divided into seven levels. The first and second levels are open to Outer Disciples, the third and fourth levels to Inner Sect Disciples. The fifth level is open to Deacon-level disciples. The sixth level is open to Elders and Direct Disciples, and as for the seventh level, only the Hall Master can enter!"
