Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 267: Chapter 234: Out of the Tomb



```

The Crimson Fire Flying Sword unleashed a brilliant, unmatched sword light, cleaving out a terrifying Sword Qi that stretched dozens of yards.

It was as if a vast chasm that could not be crossed had been cut between Heavenly Saint Moya's palm and the Treasure within the bronze giant coffin!

And behind the unparalleled sword light of the Crimson Fire Flying Sword was Ye Chen, who was rapidly closing in for the kill!

Heavenly Saint Moya dared not clash directly with Ye Chen, but if he wanted to snatch the Treasure, he had to confront the Sword Qi cleaved by Ye Chen; he had to face Ye Chen head-on.

"My physical body and True Qi are still of the Spirit Sea level, and even with the aid of the sacred artifact Treasure, I can at most only match the sword power of this Heavenly Saint, and there is even a great possibility that I'll be slightly inferior."

"To break through the Flying Sword's blockade and grab the 'Life Origin Coffin' and the Treasure inside, the only thing that could suppress this power of the Heavenly Saint is my Heavenly Saint True Soul."

"But if my Heavenly Saint True Soul really emerges, and if it gets damaged by that Lotus Leaf, then it's truly over!"

Heavenly Saint Moya, looking at the terrifying Sword Qi that lay between him and the bronze giant coffin and sensing Ye Chen's rapid approach, as well as the terrifying power of Ye Chen's secret Treasure of five Lotus Leaves, had his eyes flickering crazily, his mind racing with countless thoughts.

The Treasure within the bronze giant "Life Origin Coffin" contained countless treasures collected by Heavenly Saint Moya thousands of years ago, which made up a significant part of his wealth. Naturally, Heavenly Saint Moya was reluctant to give it up.

However, the risk of releasing his Heavenly Saint True Soul to snatch the Treasure was too great for Heavenly Saint Moya to dare.

One of his three Soul Fragmentations had already vanished in the five Lotus Leaves, and he had witnessed their power.

Heavenly Saint Moya even calculated in a flash that, very likely, he would be hit by the five Lotus Leaves before he could snatch the Treasure!

"No, it's absolutely not worth the risk!"

"This Treasure is not as important as my life, and what's more important is that I still have something that must be preserved at all costs!"

In a fraction of a second, Heavenly Saint Moya made his decision.

His palm did not reach for the bronze giant coffin; instead, his body flashed with light, and he fled towards another side.

As Heavenly Saint Moya made his escape, the sacred artifact in his hand, the "Eight Flames Fan," swung fiercely behind him, and in an instant, endless flames, fierce winds, torrents of lightning, and so on—eight kinds of forces—stood between him and his pursuers.

The Eight Flames Fan was the sacred artifact Treasure that Heavenly Saint Moya truly had used.

The power he wielded was far more mighty than when Python Demon Tower had used it!

While relying on the Eight Flames Fan to hold his ground, Heavenly Saint Moya's fingers traced through the void, and the ancient tomb's sky suddenly split open with a world-shaking fissure. Heavenly Saint Moya's body shot directly towards this fissure.

Heavenly Saint Moya, in an unexpected turn, had abandoned the Treasure within the bronze giant coffin, opting to flee the ancient tomb!

Ye Chen, too, had not expected Heavenly Saint Moya to be so resolute. As he watched the shrinking bronze giant coffin fall from the sky, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.

Whoosh!

With a grand gesture through the void, he grasped the miniaturized bronze giant coffin in his hand.

Then, Ye Chen's gaze swept across the ground, where the treasures that Fairy Nishang, Yun Luo, Liu Yan, and others had dropped—and which Heavenly Saint Moya had not taken—littered the land.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen gathered all these treasures into his possession!

Then, with the power of the Heavenly Saint flickering rapidly around his body, in just a few breaths, he overcame the blockade of the Eight Flames Fan's eight forces and pursued the world-shaking fissure in the ancient tomb's sky.

Having observed the experiences of Heavenly Saint Moya's True Soul, Ye Chen could tell that this world-shaking fissure was the exit Array from the ancient tomb!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From Heavenly Saint Moya's attempt to grab the Treasure to Ye Chen's intervention and then to Heavenly Saint Moya abandoning the Treasure to flee, everything took place in the blink of an eye.

Because he took time to collect the Treasure and breakthrough Heavenly Saint Moya's blockade with the Eight Flames Fan, Ye Chen was only a few breaths behind Heavenly Saint Moya, who had already successfully entered the world-shaking fissure.

Then, in an instant, Heavenly Saint Moya's figure completely vanished within the fissure!

And what Ye Chen was unaware of was that at the same time Heavenly Saint Moya entered the fissure, a fist-sized Relic flew from a certain point within the fissure right into Heavenly Saint Moya's hand.

This Relic was none other than the "Law Relic" of Heavenly Saint Linghua, who had fallen by Heavenly Saint Moya's hand!

Even in the memories of Heavenly Saint Moya's True Soul, he had deliberately hidden the memory of this concealed Relic within the third Soul Fragmentation, to avoid any accidents that might let the "Law Relic" fall into the hands of others.

Now, having entered the world-shaking fissure, Heavenly Saint Moya successfully took the "Law Relic" into his possession!

"Hmph, the Law Relic. While it's not as valuable as the bulk of my Heavenly Saint wealth in the 'Life Origin Coffin,' it might very well help me cultivate another Heavenly Saint in the Western Wilderness!"

"Ye Chen, just wait. Though my Treasure has fallen into your hands for now, it won't be long before I make you spit it all back out!"

Within Heavenly Saint Moya's resentful gaze, he broke through the final layer of the ancient tomb's exit Array.

And a few breaths later, Ye Chen also entered the world-shaking fissure, penetrating the final layer of the exit Array.

The moment for Ye Chen to leave the ancient tomb had arrived!

"The ancient tomb, over two months' time."

"One month on the outer ten great sea islands, one month in the Azure Blue Mansion!"

Throughout his escape, all the moments from the ancient tomb flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

He remembered the moments when he had dominated the Fourth Sea Island, the time he spent with all the Tomb Explorers, and when he broke through to the second chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture in the Azure Blue Mansion. He thought about Jiang Yao uncovering the secrets of her origins!

These tumultuous events of the past two-plus months had brought significant gains for both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

If only...

If it weren't for the awakening of Heavenly Saint Moya and the survival of the Heavenly Saint True Soul, everything would have been perfect!

Thinking of Fairy Nishang, Yun Luo, Liu Yan, Jin Lieyang of the Taixuan Sect, and others who fell at the hands of Heavenly Saint Moya, Ye Chen felt a touch of sorrow in his heart.

```

He indeed had a great harvest, but everyone else, they all died!

Facing the Heavenly Saint Moya, who possessed astonishment-inspiring means, strategies, and even calculations, even though in the end he managed to exert pressure on Heavenly Saint Moya with the help of various external forces, the others still died.

"This is the world of martial arts! This is the extraordinarily perilous cultivation world!"

"A slight misstep could lead to a death with no place to bury one's body!"

"Only by being truly powerful, and having an abundance of methods, can one prevent disasters before they strike!"

Ye Chen's heart was filled with melancholy, but this melancholy did not make him shrink back.

He had many things yet to do.

He had to accompany Jiang Yao, who had learned of her origins, to the Minor Spirit Realm to search for the kin of the Divine Phoenix Clan!

He had to protect his father and mother so they would never be consumed by the flames of war like the Divine Phoenix Clan!

He had to diligently practice the seven chapters of the Primordial Star Scripture of the Starlight Tower and even attempt to unlock all the mysteries of the Primordial Star Scripture that not even Zi Ji Star Lord had managed to fully comprehend!

Immediately before him, he had an important task to accomplish—to catch up with Heavenly Saint Moya and prevent him from causing harm to others!

Upon leaving the ancient tomb, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind, Ye Chen completely emerged from the ancient tomb in his pursuit of Heavenly Saint Moya!

...

Outside the space of the ancient tomb, deep within the Demon Burial Abyss, in a concealed cave.

The six powerhouses of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, Daoist Yunyang, Daoist Yun Fang, Daoist Wine Sword, Fairy Ni Xia, Daoist Chi Mei, and Fairy Jia Luo, were sitting outside the cave, cultivating.

They were still waiting for the day when the tomb explorers who had entered the ancient tomb would come out.

Since the day Ye Chen's breakthrough had caused the shocking phenomenon to disappear, calm had been restored outside the ancient tomb, and the six powerhouses had not noticed any anomalies.

They even thought that this tranquility would continue until the five-month duration of the tomb exploration ended.

However, just when Heavenly Saint Moya activated the exit array deep within the tomb, this tranquility was suddenly shattered!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the exit array deep in the tomb was activated, the top of the cave where the six powerhouses were sitting suddenly started to hum loudly, bursting forth with endless rays of light.

This terrifying change shocked the six quietly cultivating powerhouses, making them all jump up from their seated positions.

"What's going on?!"

Among the six powerhouses, just as Daoist Yunyang voiced out, a figure burst out directly from the light at the top of the cave.

This figure appeared to be a young man, and the six powerhouses even recognized him; he seemed to be a Sect Disciple of a Sixth Rank Sect who had entered the ancient tomb.

However, the Divine Soul aura emitted by this figure caused all six powerhouses to retreat in alarm!

From the Divine Soul aura of this figure, the six powerhouses unexpectedly sensed the aura of a Heavenly Saint.

Heavenly Saint!

How could a Heavenly Saint's aura fly out from the ancient tomb, especially from the body of this Sixth Rank Sect Disciple!

As the six powerhouses retreated in shock, they saw the figure let out a cold laugh towards them, then it burst forth, flying towards the top of the cave.

"What's going on?"

The six powerhouses were still utterly confused when another figure emerged amid the light above them.

This figure, too, radiated the power of a Heavenly Saint, which all six powerhouses feared.

"Ye Chen!"

When Fairy Jia Luo saw this figure, she cried out in surprise.

Fairy Jia Luo had not anticipated that Ye Chen would also come flying out with the power of a Heavenly Saint.

The figure that emerged first was, of course, Heavenly Saint Moya, who had performed body snatching on Xue Yue, and the one chasing behind was, of course, Ye Chen!

As Ye Chen flew out, hearing Fairy Jia Luo's exclamation and faintly seeing Heavenly Saint Moya escaping outside the cave, he was in a rush to pursue Moya. Without time to explain, he simply shouted, "That person just now is a Heavenly Saint from the Demon Sects!"

"We have all fallen into his plot, he has snatched the physical body of a tomb explorer and is attempting to escape, hurry and pursue him!"

Boom!

Whilst Ye Chen was speaking, he had already instantaneously given chase, vanishing into the cave.

"Demon Sect Heavenly Saint?!"

"Body Snatching?!"

The six powerhouses were completely stunned by Ye Chen's words.

"Chase!"

"We must chase!"

"If we let a Heavenly Saint from the Demon Sects escape, our Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and possibly the entire Southern Territory's thirteen nations, will be in great trouble!"

After a moment of realization, each of the six powerhouses burst forth, pursuing upward through the cave.
