Supreme Sword God

Chapter 654: Chapter 653: Formation of the Asura Army!

Ye Chen exuded an air of unmatched heroism.

The group of human warriors were equally excited and invigorated.

The Three Emperors of the Alien Race were furious but helpless.

The alien members accompanying the Three Emperors could only gnash their teeth in anger.

This time, their losses were extremely severe; they initially came for the spatial stone in the Storage Ring held by Asura, but ended up losing eight Storage Rings’ worth of spatial stones to Asura.

Despite heavy investment in the Transformation Pool to specially cultivate Lu Yang, Iron Forest, and Tong Fang, not one survived; all were killed by Asura!

Moreover, they now had to offer another chance to enter the Transformation Pool to Asura.

......

”Asura, those three battles were brilliantly fought!”

He Taiyuan laughed heartily, stepping through the air, appearing beside Ye Chen. He looked at the Three Emperors of the Alien Race and said, ”I know you need some time to open the Transformation Pool, go prepare immediately.

Additionally, release all the humans you have imprisoned. I shall arrange for people to bring them back now.”

Celestial Eye Emperor snorted coldly, ”He Taiyuan, don’t celebrate too early. In the future, there will be times when you suffer!”

After saying this, Celestial Eye Emperor flung his sleeve and left.

The Iron Armor Emperor and Green Ghost Emperor, along with the members of the alien race, also withdrew one by one.

Once the aliens had departed.

He Taiyuan immediately arranged for Lin Wen and others to retrieve the human warriors held captive by the aliens.

After making the arrangements, he brought Ye Chen directly back inside the stone house.

”Elder He, I feel that everything that happened to me beyond the heavens this time must have been surreptitiously driven by Brother Chun!” Ye Chen did not hold back and expressed his speculation directly.

He Taiyuan nodded, ”He has come!”

”Does Elder He know the role Brother Chun is playing beyond the heavens?”

He Taiyuan shook his head, ”He came, but clearly didn’t want me to know. Yet I raised him from childhood; no matter how well he hides his aura, I can sense it.

Since Shi Fengchun the rascal doesn’t want to see me, let him be...”

Saying this, He Taiyuan sighed noticeably.

Ye Chen: ”Elder He, I know why Brother Chun doesn’t see you; it’s not that he doesn’t want to or is unwilling, it’s that he doesn’t dare!

I once asked Brother Chun if he needed me to pass along a message. Brother Chun said, as long as the aliens aren’t dealt with and the puppet masters behind the scenes aren’t exposed, he feels he doesn’t have the face to even send a message.”

He Taiyuan’s expression grew complex, falling silent briefly, ”Tell him, if he acts recklessly, even if I die, I won’t allow him to worship at my grave!”

Ye Chen: ”Does Brother Chun frequently act recklessly?”

He Taiyuan seemed lost in memory for a while before saying, ”Once he acts recklessly, he becomes a madman to the core... Whatever he wants to do, he will pay any price!”

Pay any price—these six words were emphasized heavily in He Taiyuan’s tone, and Ye Chen detected some additional meaning.

”Asura, prepare yourself. Later, I’ll personally take you to the Transformation Pool of the Three Alien Races!”

”Elder He, what exactly is the Transformation Pool?” Ye Chen asked.

He Taiyuan replied, ”The Transformation Pool is where the ancestors of the Three Alien Races were born, containing an energy that can vastly enhance life potential.

As you saw this time, Lu Yang, Iron Forest, and Tong Fang all had their life potential greatly stimulated by the energy from the Transformation Pool, causing their strength to advance rapidly.

I once obtained some energy from the Transformation Pool myself, unfortunately, I couldn’t utilize it.

It’s the same for others.

But you’re different!

Since you were able to accept the baptism in the celestial ceremony of the Three Alien Races last time, you also have a chance to have your life potential activated in the aliens’ Transformation Pool!

Currently, chaos has arrived outside, and every major alien is invading, many humans harboring sinister intentions. Your situation is actually more precarious than anyone else’s.

Hence, once there’s an opportunity to boost your strength, even if it’s just a tiny bit, you need to go for it!”

Ye Chen acknowledged with a hum, nodding, ”Is there anything I should be cautious about when entering the Transformation Pool?”

”That’s the forbidden area of the Three Alien Races; even their people dare not tamper while inside the Transformation Pool.

Once inside, just absorb the energy of the Transformation Pool until you can no longer absorb. That signifies reaching the limit your potential can endure, and you need not remain inside.”

Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled, ”If my potential is limitless, can’t I just keep absorbing...”

He Taiyuan was momentarily stunned.

Just how vast is Asura’s potential?

Who knows!

”Even if your potential is vast, you cannot absorb indefinitely, because the energy of the Transformation Pool is finite. After being absorbed, it takes a long time to accumulate again.

The Three Alien Races sent three prodigies at once into the Transformation Pool, by my estimation, the energy inside has already been consumed by more than half.”

Ye Chen said, ”Alright, I understand; no matter how much is inside, I’ll absorb as much as there is.”

About an hour later.

A sudden clamor arose at the human encampment.

Ye Chen and He Taiyuan walked out of the stone hut, only to see a group of humans covered in scars, brought back by Lin Wen and his group in the empty square.

More than a thousand people!

These were all the humans imprisoned by the aliens.

Counting the three thousand already here, the scale immediately reached five thousand.

Previously, He Taiyuan wouldn’t have dared imagine a day like this.

The resources Ye Chen had previously sent, plus another batch he just provided.

Resources to heal the recently rescued human warriors were more than adequate.

Provisions for five thousand people to train were sufficient to last several months!

Everyone gathered in this area.

The rescued individuals on their way back had heard of He Taiyuan and Asura’s exploits.

He Taiyuan had carved out a space for human survival beyond the heavens, dominated by the Three Alien Races.

And Asura had brought genuine hope to everyone!

All eyes focused on He Taiyuan and Ye Chen.

Ye Chen felt the reverence and eagerness in those gazes; at this moment, he deeply sensed another kind of responsibility!

Simultaneously... he also felt immense pressure.

Next, he would be the man responsible for sustaining an army of five thousand...

He Taiyuan looked at Ye Chen, a trace of concealed expectation in his eyes.

He felt that.

Asura already possessed a particular quality.

This quality is essential for being a leader!

”If one day, we can eliminate the Three Alien Races, this army shouldn’t be nameless. Asura, why not decide on a designation today?” He Taiyuan proposed.

Ye Chen’s thoughts whirled.

Decide on a designation?

Should he?

Once decided, he would truly have to bear this heavy burden forward.

”Decide!”

Ye Chen decisively agreed!

However strong an individual may be, it is ultimately insufficient.

In the future, the Eastern Domain will be mired in war; he must have enough power to stand firm amidst the chaos!

The True Martial Hall is already unreliable.

From now on, he must rely on himself!

”In that case, Asura, why don’t you choose a name for the army?” He Taiyuan suggested.

Ye Chen knew Elder He entrusted him with naming for good reason, but he equally respected He Taiyuan, ”Elder He, I’d rather you do it.”

He Taiyuan didn’t insist on deferring, ”Why not just call it the Asura Army?”

Ye Chen’s gaze intensified, then slowly declared, ”When the Asura Army is out, rivers of blood will flow!”

Everyone around was also invigorated.

In that instant.

The decree of ”When the Asura Army is out, rivers of blood will flow!” shook the heavens and the earth!

A dense battle spirit surged toward the heavens, shattering the chaotic energies oppressing the human encampment.

Storms swept, rich energy of the world poured like torrential rain.

Ye Chen looked up at the sky.

A force that could not be seen or touched, but could be genuinely felt, washed through the world, entering his body.

The aura surrounding Ye Chen began to undergo a special transformation.

The youthful greenness belonging to him faded rapidly, replaced by a majesty akin to mountains and peaks, rivers and seas!

At this moment.

The Three Emperors of the alien race simultaneously burst from the grand hall, looking towards the direction of the human encampment.

Celestial Eye Emperor’s expression was extremely grave, ”Human race... the fortune has risen!”

The Iron Armor Emperor and Green Ghost Emperor’s expressions were also grave and complex.

If it were on the Celestial Essence Continent, humans naturally possessed fortune.

But here is beyond the heavens, a world controlled by the Three Races.

Here, humans are prisoners, objects for venting anger, tools for training offspring, used as slaves or even blood offerings.

Now, humans have gathered fortune against their heavens!
