"Young master, are you okay?" Chu Xiong who was looking at Ye Chen who had come in with a slight limp became alarmed and immediately swept him in.
"It's okay, just help me get to my room."
"But sir....."
Ye Chen twitched his finger, driving Chu Xiong away.
He then sat down, took a lotus stance and began to suppress the dark energy within his soul. Doing things like how dark serum works.
"Damn it, this energy is still too great. There was no other choice, or I would be deformed." Ye Chen's agitated mind began to calm down again.
He slowly released the pressure within his soul, letting the dark energy out freely. This energy moved wildly then entered into the dantian.
Kraakk...
A voice like a crack was heard quietly, Ye Chen knew very well what this meant but he could not prevent it anymore.
Bumm...
A small explosion followed from within Ye Chen's dantian, this energy quickly filled all the veins and meridians in his body.
A strong wind blew, all around Ye Chen's body, punctuated by the thin black steam that was occasionally visible.
While outside, black clouds rolled around. Like there's gonna be a big storm coming.
"What's going on?"
"Oh Miss Song, I don't know for sure either. From what I heard, this mark means that there will be a cultivator who will break through to the Sacred level?"
"Haa.. Uncle Chu, is it?"
"Either, if it is true, may it bring good instead of the other way around" Chu Xiong, who received Song Fei's approval, said.
Without knowing what was going on out there, Ye Chen who realized he was about to break through to the Sky level looked uneasy.
He did not want this black energy to affect him and make him a demon.
At this moment of thought from above the sky appeared flashes of lightning between the clouds and quickly struck Ye Chen who was stabilizing his Heaven-level aura.
In his silence, Ye Chen was startled when he sensed that a great power was coming towards him.
As fast as lightning He installed a protective aray and concentrated the power in both hands, welcoming the descending lightning.
Blaarr...
The room where Ye Chen had shattered was torn apart, his clothes were torn apart.
Ye Chen looked at the sky then smiled faintly, preparing to welcome the second lightning strike.
The bigger lightning came back, Ye Chen who had prepared to return greeted him. Most of it succeeds in absorbing and converting it into energy that He stores.
He had thought of using other energies besides black liquid to break through the cultivation stage.
The sky started to calm down after the second lightning strike, Ye Chen finally rose to the early stage Sky level.
The rest of his energy He stored for any time used when the situation is desperate.
"Young master, you...?!"
"Thank you for worrying about me, but as you can see, I'm fine."
"Congratulations sir, you have ascended to the Sky level." Chu Xiong and Sing Fei congratulated.
They were alarmed and immediately darted when they saw the lightning strike that descended right at where Ye Chen was.
"Oh yeah is brother Cia back?" ask Ye Chen.
Chu Xiong nodded and said they were out taking care of something.
Elsewhere, "Dad... ...."
"Let's go back." Cia sun who had not had time to finish his words immediately nodded and darted quickly following his father, returning to the village garden.
Lu Ping was also the same, with Lu Jia Li and Ma Dong also returning soon.
"Cia Commander, Lu grandfather, welcome," Ye Chen said. "Oh you guys are here too?" he said again when he saw Ma Dong and Lu Jia Li.
Unlike the others, the Cia and Lu Ping commander looked seriously at Ye Chen.
"Genius talent." their inner.
"So, are you okay?" ask the Cia commander.
"As you can see I'm fine. Oh yeah we're in, there's something important you need to know"
Ye Chen avoided another question by inviting them all.
"Well that's the state of the sect of darkness" Ye Chen said ending his story.
Quiescent. No one dared to say anything, they did not expect that the darkness sect was so powerful coupled with the presence of a serum that could increase strength to one stage of cultivation.
Even the commander himself hesitated about being able to eradicate them all the way to their roots.
He turned to Ye Chen asking his plan.
"The most appropriate thing I think is to block every member or group that comes out, this way can reduce their number while waiting for help to arrive."
"Maybe in a week they have arrived" said the commander, "my men have gone to the border to pick them up.
After the talks, they disbanded. Now only Cia Sun, Ma Dong, Chu Xiong and Ye Chen remained.
Lu Jia Li had already left with Song Fei to rest.
"Senior, survived breaking through. Very good," praised Ma Dong. "Um, can you tell me your secret?"
"Have you this, at the end of the day, ask for a pointer." said Cia Sun.
"Brother Cia, even though you were expecting it too right? hehe...."
Ye Chen only smiled looking at his two comrades and said this is a special condition. Maybe they won't be able to.
"I can do it." said Ma Dong.
"First must drink the black liquid from the dark prince artifact. If you can't stand the pressure, you'll turn into a demon and eventually die with your neck cut off."
Unknowingly these three people were holding their necks.
"I give up" Ma Dong said followed by another nod.
"Something big definitely requires effort that is not light. Honestly, I'm lucky to be alive."
"Brother Chen, is it true that the effect is such?" Ma Dong who was still curious asked again.
"Why am I lying. Never mind I will rest first." Ye Chen said and left them.
...
In the main building, the headquarters of the darkness sect.
The patriarch looked carelessly at hearing Ye Chen was absent.
"Where's the son going, has no one seen him?"
All quiet.
"You! right elder, is there nothing you can do? What about the people sent first?"
The right elder recounted the state of the sect members who came out, all dead none left.
The patriarch only shook his head slowly hearing this news. Nor can he be constantly angry."
"Strengthen the ranks, I hope that things will not happen again." continued the patriarch then stood up and went inside.
The right elder was still lowered as the patriarch walked away. "Chairman left, how's your investigation going?"
"Just like you, I didn't find anything either. Not even all the members who were sent out did return."
The right elder understood the meaning of his partner's words. "Have not thought too much, we better go back first."
