Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 895 - 845: Sweeping Through the Valley of the Wicked
This sent Boss Yao into utter panic!
Seeing the seemingly endless force of annihilation about to completely shatter his vitality, Boss Yao could no longer care about his crushed Blood Armor and severed arms.
He cried out in desperation to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, spare me! Spare my life! I'm willing to offer up all my treasures; just let me go!"
Bang.
Amid Boss Yao's frantic pleas, Ye Chen made a casual grasp in the Void. That immeasurable destructive force formed a storm capable of obliterating everything, howling around Boss Yao, yet it did not directly finish him off.
It was clear, however, that if Ye Chen wished, he could kill Boss Yao on the spot in an instant!
Looking at the pathetic and begging Boss Yao, Ye Chen snorted coldly, "Treasures? If I kill you, I can naturally take all your treasures. Why would I need you to offer them?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen reached downward. Following his gesture, the Spatial Treasures dropped from the slain Purple Light Assassins and Villains flew out from the storm and landed in his hands.
Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Boss Yao's face turned pale with fright.
At this moment, he could no longer think about anything else.
This was no joke.
Earlier, he dared to oppose Ye Chen, but after just one exchange, Boss Yao realized that even with combat power at the level of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, he had no chance of surviving before Ye Chen. How could he dare resist any further?
Boss Yao had only one thought now: No matter the cost, his priority was to stay alive.
"Ye Chen, most of my treasures are stored in another area and not with me. Spare my life, and I will take you to that location and offer you all my treasures!"
"Rest assured, although that area is filled with countless assassins and villains, none of them are as strong as me. They won't pose any threat to you."
Worried that Ye Chen might not want to take the risk, Boss Yao hastily added more explanation in a panicked tone.
Hearing Boss Yao's words, Ye Chen fell silent, deep in thought.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
As Ye Chen pondered, every second felt like an eternity to Boss Yao.
His fate was now entirely in Ye Chen's hands. He didn't even dare to breathe heavily, terrified that the next moment, Ye Chen would take his life.
However, Ye Chen's next statement finally allowed Boss Yao's tightly held breath to relax just a little.
Looking at Boss Yao, Ye Chen asked, "You mentioned that the location of your treasures also has other assassins and villains?"
Boss Yao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! That place is what we call the 'Valley of the Wicked.' All the assassins and villains tasked with killing you challengers are gathered in that valley."
"Most of them are Red Light, Orange Light, and Yellow Light Assassins and Villains. Assassins like me, Purple Light class, are rare."
Hearing Boss Yao's explanation, Ye Chen nodded. "Very well. Lead the way. If there are treasures there worth my attention, sparing your life is not out of the question."
Although Ye Chen had not outright promised to spare his life, Boss Yao was already beyond caring about such details.
As long as there was even the slightest chance for survival, he wouldn't give it up.
He hurriedly responded, "I will take you to the 'Valley of the Wicked' immediately."
Ye Chen's decision to temporarily spare Boss Yao wasn't solely about the treasures Boss Yao had mentioned.
What Ye Chen cared more about was the information Boss Yao had shared: that the Valley of the Wicked hosted a sizable gathering of assassins and villains.
At present, Ye Chen had already slain seven Blue Light Assassins and Villains and six Purple Light Assassins and Villains. To complete his task, he still needed to eliminate three more Blue Light Assassins.
With the existence of such a valley, Ye Chen naturally preferred not to waste further time hunting for Blue Light Assassins elsewhere.
He could simply head to the Valley of the Wicked and complete his task there!
Furthermore, Ye Chen didn't mind the idea of completely leveling the so-called Valley of the Wicked.
After all, the assassins and villains gathered there were undeniably heinous individuals. In carrying out their missions, they had slaughtered countless challengers, likely including Divine Kings from the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation.
Given the opportunity, Ye Chen saw no reason not to avenge those fallen Divine Kings!
As for whether Boss Yao might take the opportunity to stab Ye Chen in the back, Ye Chen was unconcerned.
This time, the highest-ranking assassins who had entered the first layer of the Heavenly God Mountain world were the Golden Light Assassins, and they had been confined to a dedicated area for the top three contenders on the Heavenly God List. Other assassins' strongest were still only at Boss Yao's Purple Light level.
Against these assassins, Ye Chen had no doubt he could handle them.
However, Ye Chen did not have Boss Yao lead the way immediately. Instead, he turned to Hua Xuelian and the thirty-five Divine Kings from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom.
"Hua, fellow cultivators, what do you intend to do next? I'm preparing to head to this 'Valley of the Wicked.' Would you like to come along?"
Hua Xuelian and the thirty-five Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom were completely stunned at this moment!
They hadn't yet recovered from the shock of how the battle had unfolded!

No one could have anticipated that Ye Chen, facing five opponents alone, would kill four of them in an instant.
Even more unexpected was seeing the once-overbearing Boss Yao of the Purple Light Class grovel and beg for mercy before Ye Chen!
It wasn't until Ye Chen spoke to them that their Mind and Spirit finally registered the situation: "We… survived?!"
"Those seven Purple Light Assassins have been slain—six are dead, and the last one is gravely injured. We're finally out of danger, finally alive!"
Several Divine Kings from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom even knelt before Ye Chen directly.
After all, it was Ye Chen who had truly saved their lives!
Hua Xuelian also looked at Ye Chen in utter disbelief.
She couldn't fathom how Ye Chen had grown so strong.
Even with Boss Yao's combat power elevated to the level of a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable, he was no match for Ye Chen!
"Ye Chen isn't simply fourth on the Heavenly God List—he's leagues beyond even the first, Lin Shan. Even if Lin Shan further increased his strength, he still wouldn't be Ye Chen's match!"
When asked by Ye Chen whether they wanted to join, Hua Xuelian immediately nodded eagerly, "Ye Chen, I'll come with you. I also have something important to give you along the way!"
…
In the end, Hua Xuelian, along with thirty-five Divine Kings from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom, set out with Ye Chen, led by Boss Yao, toward the Valley of the Wicked.
Those Divine Kings from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom were unwilling to part ways from Ye Chen and Hua Xuelian. Even if they had to leave, they would only do so once they found a safer area.
While on the journey, Hua Xuelian took out a small white jade vial and handed it to Ye Chen.
This was the "important thing" Hua Xuelian had mentioned earlier.
"What is this?" Ye Chen looked at the vial, uncertain of its contents.
Hua Xuelian smiled, "Inside is a Fate Divine Pill that can help break through realms. Ye Chen, you saved our lives. Words cannot express our gratitude. Earlier, in a Secret Ground, we obtained several Fate Divine Pills. This one shall be your reward for saving us."
Hua Xuelian didn't mention that during their expedition to the Chaotic Wind Sea Area, they had acquired a total of only four Fate Divine Pills.
Yes, only four—each one precious beyond measure, capable of breaking through realms. Naturally, every single pill was invaluable!
Originally, their group of thirty-six was supposed to divide them evenly. But now, as Ye Chen had saved their lives, everyone unanimously decided that one pill must be gifted to him.
Even with just four pills, they resolved to offer one.
On one hand, it was to repay Ye Chen for saving their lives. On the other, the Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom hoped to build goodwill with someone as powerful as Ye Chen.
After all, in future dire situations, Ye Chen's casual intervention might save their lives.
Compared to their lives—and considering they might not even receive a Fate Divine Pill during the split—they were more than willing to offer one up.
"Ye Chen, you must accept this!"
"This Divine Pill is shared among us, and it must constitute our gratitude for saving our lives."
As Hua Xuelian spoke, the other Divine Kings from the Qianjue Divine Kingdom voiced their agreement.
Hearing their words, and especially realizing this Divine Pill could help break through realms, Ye Chen's heart shook with emotion.
With this pill, wouldn't that mean he could advance to the Middle God King realm?!
That was more valuable than any treasure!
Ye Chen did not put on false modesty. After giving the group a deep bow, he stored the Fate Divine Pill in his Ice Snow Jade Pendant.
As a gesture of reciprocity, Ye Chen distributed treasures from the slain Purple Light Assassins and Villains to the Divine Kings of the Qianjue Divine Kingdom.
These treasures were of minimal use to someone like Ye Chen, who even had Ultimate Heavenly Artifacts. However, for the Divine Kings, these were treasures of immense value.
After all, these were items belonging to Purple Light Assassins at the Superior Heavenly Divine Venerable level. Naturally, they were incredibly precious to the Divine Kings.
As Ye Chen, Hua Xuelian, and the rest conversed during their journey, before they knew it, they had left the Chaotic Wind Sea Area behind and arrived at an immense valley.
This valley, as Boss Yao had described, was the gathering place for countless assassins and villains—the Valley of the Wicked.
At that moment, two Blue Light Assassins were patrolling just outside the valley.
Upon seeing Boss Yao, both arms severed, leading the way with dozens of Divine Kings following behind, the two Blue Light Assassins were startled.
They recognized Boss Yao as well.
"Boss Yao, how did you get so badly injured?!"
"Who are these people?!"
Swish! Swish!
The two Blue Light Assassins flew to the Void several thousand feet before Ye Chen and his group, questioning Boss Yao while cautiously holding a transmission artifact in their hands. Clearly, they were prepared to report to the valley at the slightest hint of trouble.
Boss Yao dared not make any move on his own.
He looked to Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, should I take you directly into the valley to retrieve the treasures, or what do you wish to do?"
Ye Chen glanced at Boss Yao, then at the two Blue Light Assassins whose faces were filled with vigilance, and finally at the immense Valley of the Wicked, which spanned hundreds of miles.
Ye Chen smiled, "Since we're already here, let's summon all the assassins and villains in the Valley of the Wicked."
As he spoke, Ye Chen raised his hand and struck the Void with his palm.
A titanic palm shadow instantly filled the sky, completely enveloping the entire Valley of the Wicked.
Then, with a deafening roar, the massive palm shadow descended and slammed into the valley.
With Ye Chen's overwhelming combat power, even without unleashing a killing move, his strike aimed merely to force the assassins and villains to surface. Yet, it still flattened the entire Valley of the Wicked spanning hundreds of miles.
The massive valley collapsed entirely, leaving countless deep craters scarring the earth.
Simultaneously, clouds of dust erupted like a storm, engulfing the entire land in a furious shroud of chaos.
"What's happening?!"
"Who dares attack our Valley of the Wicked?!"
Amid the chaotic dust storm, one figure after another shot out from the ruins of the valley in panic. In an instant, the air above the Valley of the Wicked was densely packed with a swarm of figures.
