King of Creation

"Ye Zhen, I didn't expect you to dare to come here as well. What a narrow road for enemies!" A voice suddenly roared in anger.

Upon hearing this angry roar, Ye Zhen's expression instinctively tightened, especially after hearing the name 'Ye Zhen.' The person who could call out his name on this Shuili Island of the Outer Domain Dead Sea must definitely be an old acquaintance of Ye Zhen!

Looking up, Ye Zhen immediately understood.

Zhe Yang!

It was actually Zhe Yang, the Palace Master of the largest sect in the True Spirit Domain, the Green Sun Palace. At this moment, he was blocking Ye Zhen's path, glaring at Ye Zhen with eyes that could almost swallow him whole.

This made Ye Zhen somewhat curious. As a Palace Master of the Green Sun Palace, even if there were grievances, it shouldn't be such an irreconcilable hatred.

However, after glancing at the stall of Palace Master Zhe Yang, Ye Zhen understood.

This Green Sun Palace Master, Zhe Yang, was here with two elders setting up a stall, both selling and buying.

Needless to say, the items on the jade plate for purchase were quite special.

"Earth Core Fire Balm, Purple Flame Crystal, Ten-thousand-year Fire Jade, Origin Essence Blood of a Dao Entrance Realm Fire Element Grand Demon, Fire Dragon Herb. As long as they have any of these items, they will purchase them at a high price."

The treasures sought by the Green Sun Palace's Zhe Yang were, without exception, extremely rare Fire Element Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they were of the exceedingly high and rare varieties.

These items were all extraordinarily precious, but their true value lay elsewhere.

From Ye Zhen's perspective as an Artifact Refiner, most of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were not the main ingredients for crafting Spiritual Artifacts or Soul Artifacts. Instead, they contained exceptionally pure and powerful Fire Element energy.

Ye Zhen speculated, more likely than not, that they were here to repair the Low Grade Soul Artifact, the Purple Flame Golden Lamp, which he had damaged.

During their battle in the Ground Fire Heart Palace, Ye Zhen had directly used the origin power of the Purple Spirit to cut a gash in Zhe Yang's Purple Flame Golden Lamp, causing a large amount of origin power inside the lamp to be lost, leaving it heavily damaged.

These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, laden with extremely pure Fire Spirit Power, could significantly help in repairing the damage to the Purple Flame Golden Lamp if he managed to gather one or two of them.

Of course, this was merely Ye Zhen's conjecture.

At that moment, Ye Zhen slightly cupped his hands and said, "So it's Palace Master Chuu. How is it that your Purple Flame Golden Lamp hasn't been completely repaired yet?"

Ye Zhen shouldn't have mentioned it. As soon as he did, it made Zhe Yang of the Green Sun Palace so angry that even the Three Corpse Gods were infuriated.

The Green Sun Palace's Sect Guardian Soul Artifact being severely damaged had caused them to suffer two setbacks recently.

The struggle between Establishment Kings is never a trivial matter. These setbacks had severely hurt the Green Sun Palace's interests, leaving them no choice but to try their luck at this once-in-a-decade Alchemy Appreciation Conference, hoping to find treasures that could repair the Purple Flame Golden Lamp.

Yet, rather than finding treasures to repair the Purple Flame Golden Lamp, they first ran into Ye Zhen, the person who damaged the lamp. Naturally, the anger was unimaginable!

Zhe Yang's pupils contracted suddenly. "It's surprising that Lord Ye managed to arrive at Shuili Island alive! However, with a power like the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, which doesn't stand out, you shouldn't be able to get an invitation to Shuili Island, right?"

"No need for Palace Master Chuu to worry about that. Palace Master Chuu should be more concerned about your Low Grade Soul Artifact!"

"You!"

Zhe Yang was once again exasperated.

"Move aside; a good dog won't block the way!" Ye Zhen shouted coldly.

Meanwhile, because of the commotion over here, martial artists from all directions had already gathered around, eager for a good show.

"Hmph, what if I don't move? What can you do about it?" Zhe Yang sneered with a face full of disdain.

"Do you think I'm an idiot, that I would violate the prohibition?" Ye Zhen scoffed, "If a dog blocks my path, wouldn't I just take another way?"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen turned and prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, one of the elders beside Zhe Yang swiftly blocked Ye Zhen's path.

"You dared to insult our Palace Master over and over again. It seems you're tired of living! If it weren't for Shuili Island, you'd already be finished elsewhere!"

The steel-bristled elder of the Green Sun Palace blocking the way startled Ye Zhen.

This elder's Cultivation was actually higher than that of Palace Master Zhe Yang.

Zhe Yang was just at the Seventh Stage Establishment, yet this elder's Cultivation was at the Eighth Stage Establishment, and the other elder, who had been silent and had a gloomy face, was at the Early Stage Ninth Stage Establishment!

The Green Sun Palace's standing as the number one sect in the True Spirit Domain was no fluke.

"May I ask who this is?"

"I am Lul Jia, Supreme Second Elder of the Green Sun Palace!"

"Boy, be sensible and apologize to our Palace Master, or else, hmph!" Lul Jia's face was fierce, yet his intention was unmistakable.

This is the Supreme Second Elder of the Green Sun Palace, so the other elder must be the Supreme Elder. To bring both Supreme Elders to the Outer Domain Dead Sea shows Zhe Yang's caution.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen couldn't help but sneer.

"This Shuili Island doesn't allow fighting, so you can brag and act mighty all you want, but I've got the same trick up my sleeve!"

With that, Ye Zhen pointed angrily at Zhe Yang and shouted, "If you don't make way, watch out for being unable to leave the Outer Domain Dead Sea alive!"

Ye Zhen's feigned threat provoked understanding laughter from the surrounding martial artists, which made Zhe Yang and the two Supreme Elders of the Green Sun Palace flush with embarrassment.

Ironically, Ye Zhen's sarcastic comment reminded Zhe Yang that Shuili Island wasn't entirely a peaceful place, that it had zones of slaughter — namely, Yixiao Building.

Raising an eyebrow, Zhe Yang taunted Ye Zhen, "Oh Ye, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to fulfil your dreams! Everyone knows what Yixiao Building on Shuili Island stands for!

Why not give you a chance to live out your aspirations? Let's have a match at Yixiao Building and see if you indeed have the ability to make me unable to leave the Outer Domain Dead Sea alive?"

"Well, dare you?" The Green Sun Palace Master Zhe Yang pressed.

Especially when Zhe Yang saw Ye Zhen's contemplative expression; he instantly grew expectant.

Not only Zhe Yang and the Green Sun Palace members, but also the surrounding Establishment Kings watching the excitement were eager.

With some time left until the Alchemy Appreciation Conference begins, grievances and murders inside Yixiao Building have been rare; a duel would be perfect to witness and maybe try their luck!

"Dare you?"

Ye Zhen propped his chin, deep in thought, and while everyone was watching Ye Zhen expectantly, he suddenly ridiculed Zhe Yang, "What Cultivation are you at and what Cultivation am I at? Compete with you in Yixiao Building? Am I stupid, or are you delusional and utterly foolish?"

Haha!

The onlookers immediately erupted into laughter at Ye Zhen's words, causing Zhe Yang's face to turn a purplish-red in anger as he snapped, "Didn't you say it yourself? Making it impossible for me to leave the Outer Domain Dead Sea? I was merely giving you a chance!"

"I was just imitating your boasting!" Immediately, the martial artists around burst into robust laughter, the sound resonating like thunder.

With that, Ye Zhen turned to leave!

Zhe Yang's expression noticeably darkened, "Ye Zhen, but it's no boast! Just wait, your end will come when you leave Shuili Island!

And once I repair the Purple Flame Golden Lamp, we shall charge at the Sun and Moon Divine Sect for reckoning!"

Ye Zhen, who had taken a few strides, suddenly turned back.

"Do you really want to kill me so badly?" Ye Zhen asked!

"A grudge for the destroyed treasure and hatred for the stolen treasure, irreconcilable!" Zhe Yang gritted his teeth and said.

"Alright, then I'll give you a chance to avenge your grievance, let's match at Yixiao Building!" Ye Zhen said.

Hearing this, the Green Sun Palace Master Zhe Yang rejoiced, "Really?"

"Of course!"

Saying this, Ye Zhen extended a finger towards Zhe Yang, "But I have one condition!"

"What condition, speak!"

"If I lose, naturally you take my life, but if I win, you must give your Low Grade Soul Artifact Purple Flame Golden Lamp to me!" Ye Zhen declared!

Upon hearing this, almost without any consideration, the Green Sun Palace Master Zhe Yang shook his head, "Impossible, dream on!"

"Oh, not willing? What if I increase my stake with this item?" As he spoke, Ye Zhen took out a treasure and flaunted it.

Almost the instant this treasure was taken out by Ye Zhen, Zhe Yang's eyes widened abruptly! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
