King of Creation
Chapter 1502: Chapter 1487: The Dragon King’s Informant
Big Ears Nie Ting provided intelligence on Ye Zhen, originating from Big Ears leveraging his innate divine ability to gather information related to Yun Ben, including Yun Ben’s identity details.
Behind Yun Ben is a little world belonging to the Demon Race, named Taimeng. Yun Ben not only hails from this world but is also a direct lineage bloodline of its current owner, ranked eighth.
In other words, although Yun Ben is not the future successor of the little world, he certainly holds considerable influence over it.
Of course, it’s not that Ye Zhen was afraid.
Ye Zhen has been on the Primordial Continent for many years, with numerous kills to his name; adding a Realm Lord’s son from a little world doesn’t matter much.
The reason Ye Zhen spared Yun Ben at the critical moment, forcefully driving his divine soul power to leave Yun Ben’s life, was actually because he valued the information Yun Ben’s identity could provide.
Ye Zhen came to Five Immortals Island for two purposes: one was to find clues leading to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects to awaken Little Demon, and the second was to search for Caiyi’s whereabouts.
According to Hua Changjun, Caiyi is likely an Ancient Clan member, who mostly live in seclusion within little worlds unknown to many.
Generally, only those from little worlds are most likely to know information about other little worlds.
Originally, Ye Zhen intended to slowly inquire, but he found the information Big Ears reported regarding Yun Ben’s background meets Ye Zhen’s needs perfectly.
After all, even if one belongs to a little world, if their status is too low, what they can know is extremely limited.
They must originate from a little world and have sufficiently high status to know about those hidden little worlds.
Thus, Ye Zhen spared Yun Ben’s life.
Moreover, in front of everyone, Ye Zhen shamelessly made Yun Ben acknowledge this favor, so as long as Yun Ben isn’t shameless, he should answer Ye Zhen’s questions.
"After years unseen, Ye, you’ve... you’ve improved greatly! Already at the Second Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, in just a few years..." Yun Ben jumped down from the Five Immortals Arena, wisely not interrupting, when Purple Spirit’s voice sounded.
"You damn it, how come there’s an old demon hag hidden inside you, and only a remnant soul at that... huh, no, it’s the kind that merges into an artifact soul, tut-tut, Lord Ye, you have some peculiar taste..."
Before Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou could finish teasing, Purple Spirit screamed, "Who are you calling an old hag, you freak, I’ll slash you..."
The terrifying Sword Qi suddenly rose perceptibly from Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein, Ye Zhen frowned and forcefully suppressed this Sword Qi, "In front of everyone, what do you want?"
"This... such a freak, dare call... dare call..." Purple Spirit was trembling with anger.
"Did I say anything wrong? Looking at your soul light, it must have taken hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, would calling you an old hag be too mild..."
Ye Zhen directly struck a thunderbolt within his body, scolding harshly, "Shut up, anyone who causes trouble now will be struck down first!"
Ye Zhen didn’t expect that the recently awakened Purple Spirit would also be so unruly; in contrast, Little Demon handled everything under his command smoothly, never requiring his attention.
"Di Kuohai defeated Yun Ben, according to the rules of the Five Immortals Arena, he will inherit Yun Ben’s consecutive wins, but two wins must be deducted from the total number.
Currently, Di Kuohai has six consecutive wins; does anyone want to challenge?" The Black-Robed Steward glanced at Ye Zhen with some surprise and began presiding over the Five Immortals Arena again.
At that same moment, Ye Zhen didn’t even look at the Black-Robed Steward; he sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowing a pill and simultaneously grasping two High Grade Spirit Stones, swiftly refining them to recover his spiritual power.
The battle with Yun Ben just now could be described as a fierce one; although Ye Zhen didn’t use all his means, he used at least half, with the most crucial factor being the overwhelming consumption.
The spiritual power within him was depleted by as much as sixty percent, though Ye Zhen exploited the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Mansion, enabling Five Elements Yin Yang mutual generation, still capable of supporting high-intensity combat for half a quarter-hour; truly exhausting.
Now, Ye Zhen’s primary task is restoring his spiritual power.
Ye Zhen’s demeanor appeared somewhat different to the martial artists watching from the sidelines.
Truthfully, today Yun Ben massacred the arena, among martial artists currently present, few dared challenge Yun Ben; yet, Ye Zhen had vanquished Yun Ben, theoretically also deterring most from daring to challenge Ye Zhen.
But in fact, that’s not the case; the inch may have its length, the foot may have its shortness; everyone has weaknesses, strengths, maybe Ye Zhen’s skills restrained Yun Ben, but some people’s skills might exactly suppress Ye Zhen.
Especially when they saw Ye Zhen recovering his spiritual power with all his might, many felt they’d seized Ye Zhen’s weakness.
"I’ll challenge the arena!"
A bald martial artist waved his Life and Death Contract and leapt onto the arena, leaving several martial artists who signed the contract later bemoaning their misfortune.
"As the consecutive winner, Di Kuohai will have fifteen minutes of recovery time; gentlemen, placing bets is starting!" the Black-Robed Steward declared.
This round of betting appeared tricky to make.
Based on Ye Zhen’s performance just now, the odds of winning are high, but this bald martial artist at the Dark Palace Realm Seventh Stage isn’t to be dismissed easily.
Among martial artists, there is no absolute invincibility; maybe someone’s divine power secret technique just happens to counter their opponent, many place bets more cautiously.
This excitement rekindled in the private bookmakers who nearly suffered losses overlooking Ye Zhen earlier, each shouting fervently.
Fifteen minutes flew by quickly, and through refining spirit stones and consuming pills, Ye Zhen’s depleted spiritual power merely recovered by about ten percent.
However, Ye Zhen felt it was enough!
To be honest, although he had won earlier, he still respected Yun Ben greatly.
In fact, a place like the Five Immortals Arena posed significant limitations for someone like Yun Ben from the Demon Race, who excelled in speed, Void Great Movement, and mainly cultivated the Fatian Xiangdi technique with a robust physique.
The area within the ten-mile radius, even at its longest point, was merely ten thousand meters. For the Gold-Cracking Cloud Leopard clan, known for their Ancient Bloodline and extraordinary speed, such a distance took less than two breaths to cover, leaving no room to leverage their speed advantage.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Ben would have no problem fighting against martial artists at the Middle Stage of the Realm King Realm, yet he was still defeated by Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen didn’t truly regard the usual martial artists present here.
"Time is up, the challenge begins!"
With a decree from the Black-Robed Steward, a thunderous sound of Thunderclap echoed throughout.
At the start, Ye Zhen unleashed the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder.
Watching others fight seemed thrilling, leaving one wondering, wow, why couldn’t you dodge such a simple attack?
You should do this, you should do that, and then you could block it.
But when facing it yourself, the feeling is entirely different.
The bald man felt only a flash of lightning before him, the Thunderclap-like sound roaring towards his forehead directly pierced into his Spirit Palace, startling him into a sudden shiver!
Too fast!
The Thunder Light was too fast!
So fast that he didn’t know how to respond, the strategies he thought of before now seemed inadequate.
He finally understood why, at Ye Zhen’s move, Yun Ben chose to abandon his Blue Gold Giant Sword of Suppressing Device Level and directly used his Void Great Movement divine skill to evade.
Unfortunately, he did not possess the Void Great Movement divine skill!
At the moment when the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder struck, the bald man’s only solace was that he had already gathered his entire Spiritual Power before entering, even activating the Suppressing Armor of low-grade.
"Hopefully, it won’t be a one-hit kill..."
In the next instant, the bald man was enveloped in electric light, his entire body convulsing as he was sent flying, emitting black smoke all along, and after crashing into the Guardian Barrier of the Five Immortals Arena, he fell to the ground and continued to twitch incessantly!
The sound of people sucking in cold air abruptly surrounded the area.
Earlier, when Yun Ben was defeated, people didn’t think much about it. They felt that Yun Ben facing someone at the Second Stage of the Dark Palace Realm was unimpressive, struggling for so long yet still losing, falling short of the talented names of fame before.
But now, seeing this martial artist at the Seventh Stage of the Dark Palace Realm being blasted away to unconsciousness by Ye Zhen in a single move, they understood.
It wasn’t that Yun Ben was weak, but rather that this Di Kuohai was far beyond the ordinary!
Even Yun Ben might not have knocked this bald martial artist unconscious in a single move.
In the crowd, Yun Ben, watching this scene, slightly relaxed his tense expression, his face not as gloomy as before.
There’s no helping it, that’s human nature: if you lose to an opponent, it’s a disgrace, but the stronger that opponent is, the less disgraceful it feels; if the opponent is strong enough, disgrace can turn into glory.
Yun Ben now had such thoughts: the stronger Ye Zhen’s record, the less he felt defeated.
The Black-Robed Steward above the Five Immortals Arena gave Ye Zhen another surprised glance, feeling that something unprecedented could happen with this young man on the arena.
"Di Kuohai has won seven consecutive matches, who dares to challenge next?"
The Black-Robed Steward called out several times, yet no one dared to challenge.
"If no one challenges within a quarter of an hour, according to the rules, Di Kuohai will be declared the winner of eight consecutive matches. Who will fight?" The Black-Robed Steward shouted.
As the Black-Robed Steward loudly encouraged the crowd, an elder with a short stature quietly and closely watched Ye Zhen on the Five Immortals Arena.
However, at this moment, Ye Zhen was under the gaze of thousands, with too many similar glances to pay attention to.
"Evil Punishing Divine Thunder! Acquired Spirit Treasure! Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire! Illusion Clone! Four features, a full four characteristics match exactly with those of the missing Count Ye the Dragon King is searching for.
For an ordinary divine power martial skill, others can have a high chance of learning it, but the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder is not something just anyone can cultivate successfully; as for the Acquired Spirit Treasure, even more so, it can’t just be owned casually, especially one of the Thunder Element.
Plus, the Heavenly Thunder Spirit Fire is quite rare, having one characteristic match is unlikely, but four matching characteristics...
Moreover, this Di Kuohai’s cultivation is quite low. Though his Second Stage of the Divine Communication Realm cultivation is higher than that of the Count Ye sought by the Dragon King, cultivation can improve, can’t it?"
"Seventy percent, at least seventy percent certainty. If this person is indeed the missing Earl of North Sea that the Dragon King is desperately searching for, then I would have accomplished a great deed, must inform the Dragon King immediately." After a moment of contemplation, the short-statured elder swiftly disappeared into the crowd.
