Chapter 1494

Many cultivators covered their faces as they looked at Ye Ming's miserable state. Although they couldn't bear to look at him, they were laughing happily in their hearts.

Ye Ming's face was swollen like a pig's by Zi Chen's punches.

The other cultivators from Golden Leaf City wanted to go forward, but one of them was directly punched by Zi Chen. They finally understood Zi Chen's strength. They just stood in the distance and glared at Zi Chen, not daring to go forward.

A golden light rushed out of Ye Ming's sea of consciousness and returned to Zi Chen's sea of consciousness.

Zi Chen's body just happened to stop punching at this time. He turned around and walked toward the high platform.

Ye Ming, who was in a daze, slowly returned to normal.

The first thing he felt was pain. His face was burning with pain.

"Damn it, could it be that the pain from the spiritual sense has spread to the physical body?"

Ye Ming cursed. He was glad that this happened in his sea of consciousness. No one saw it, so it wasn't embarrassing.

Even if Zi Chen wanted to use this as an excuse, it would be fine as long as he didn't admit it.

With that in mind, the corners of Ye Ming's mouth curled up slightly. He couldn't help but smile proudly at his intelligence.

Ye Ming immediately felt pain at the corner of his mouth. He grimaced for a while. At the same time, he cursed Zi Chen for being too ruthless. If he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.

As he glanced around casually, Ye Ming realized that everyone's eyes were on him. All of them had strange expressions on their faces.

They looked like they were smiling but not smiling. They looked like they were crying but not crying. They looked like they were in pain.

Ye Ming was anxious. He thought to himself, 'Didn't I just lose? What's the big deal? Winning and losing are common.

Moreover, Zi Chen was the master of the Perfect Domain Seed and the Psychic Domain Core. It was normal for him to be a little special.

While thinking about this, Ye Ming could still feel the burning pain on his face. For this, he cursed Zi Chen in his heart. He was too ruthless. Even his body had a sensory reaction.

Pairs of strange eyes looked at him. Those faces wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They kept staring at him. Ye Ming gradually felt that something was wrong. His expression changed and he reached out to touch his cheek.

The first thing that came was an even more intense labor pain. Ye Ming could no longer feel his face. All he could feel was a gigantic ball of flesh.

He immediately understood what had happened. His expression became extremely ugly as he glanced at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's back was facing Ye Ming. Ye Ming could only see Zi Chen's back but could not see Zi Chen's expression. However, Ye Ming saw the people from Shuntian Society. They were smiling, but when Ye Ming turned around, they could not help but laugh out loud.

This laughter seemed to have caused a chain reaction. The others could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing.

Ye Ming's pig-like face turned livid as a deep sense of humiliation rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Your face. Touch your face and see what it feels like." Shuntian Dao did not forget to remind Ye Ming while laughing.

Heaven's Will Fortune Teller and the others were also laughing heartily.

There was a piercing pain coming from his cheeks. Without touching it on purpose, Ye Ming could guess how he looked at the moment.

Now, he was extremely ashamed and murderous intent rose from the bottom of his heart.

Coincidentally, Zi Chen walked up to the high platform and turned around to look at Ye Ming.

Ye Ming glared at Zi Chen with a murderous intent. "Zi Chen, you're digging your own grave."

Zi Chen looked down at Ye Ming and said coldly, "I think you're the one who's digging your own grave. Today's incident was just a lesson. If there's a next time, it won't be just a lesson."

When he met Zi Chen's eyes, Ye Ming realized that Zi Chen's eyes were even colder than his own. That cold murderous intent penetrated the bottom of his heart, causing Ye Ming's expression to change. He was not stupid and naturally understood the meaning behind Zi Chen's words.

Zi Chen was not referring to today's challenge, but the series of events that happened before.

Thinking back to how Zi Chen suppressed him, Ye Ming could feel the difference between the two of them. At this moment, no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress it.

If he could not suppress it, death was the only way out for him.

However, he had already remembered Zi Chen in his heart. Once he had the chance, he would definitely make Zi Chen regret what he had done today.

Ye Ming's sudden forbearance surprised everyone. However, they also saw how powerful and terrifying Zi Chen was from another perspective.

After some people silently compared themselves to Ye Ming, they shook their heads. Obviously, they no longer fought for the leader's position.

"Is there no one else?" The old man who had been smiling all along suddenly asked.

The special reward of being the leader was very attractive, but it could not attract everyone, especially some of the higher life forms. They had no interest in the city rankings.

As for Jin Meng, Jin Ge, Xiong Ba, and the others, they did not dare to challenge Zi Chen.

They originally had a grudge with Zi Chen. This time, they were afraid that Zi Chen would take this opportunity to kill them during the challenge.

This was because Zi Chen, who was constantly transforming, did indeed have the ability to kill higher life forms.

Ye Ming retreated and found a quiet place to heal his wounds. As for the others, they stayed where they were. For a moment, no one came out to challenge.

The Fortune Teller looked at Shuntian Dao and smiled. "You don't want to go. It seems that you are very qualified to be the leader."

Shuntian Dao shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. I think you are qualified. Why don't you go?"

The Fortune Teller smiled faintly and said, "I want to go, but just now, I pinched my fingers and calculated that we will be in danger. As for our leader, it will be even more dangerous. Therefore, I will take the initiative to give up this position and not participate in the competition."

"You don't even want to fight for such a good thing, and you want others to fight for it." The Mist Shadow curled his lips.

The three title holders obviously had no intention of fighting for the leader's position.

As for Jin Qingcheng, she was a woman. She had no interest in leading a group of men. She stood together with Wushuang. The two of them were whispering something, and there was laughter from time to time.

The Fortune Teller smiled mysteriously and said, "We don't fight, but it doesn't mean that others won't."

While they were talking, another person walked out from the crowd.

It was the Dark Mantle in a black robe. Red light flashed in his eyes as he stared at Zi Chen and said, "Please enlighten me."

"Good, your courage is commendable. Let the battle begin." The old man nodded. Obviously, he admired the Dark Mantle very much.

Roar.

A loud dragon roar suddenly resounded from the outside of this world. Everyone looked towards the source of the roar and saw a dragon shadow approaching from afar.

The dragon shadow rushed into this world without any resistance and hovered in front of Zi Chen. A pair of dragon eyes looked down. The dragon aura that belonged to the Dragon Clan spread in all directions.

Everyone's expression changed when they felt the dragon aura. Some of the higher life forms had a look of shock in their eyes.

Dragon.

A real dragon appeared in the sky. Lightning flashed around its body and its eyes were filled with majesty.

In everyone's perception, this was a real lightning dragon, not the so-called Dragon Soul Spear.

In Zi Chen's perception, the Dragon Soul Spear had an additional life force. This life force seemed to have refined the Spiritual Domain Core.

Not only was the dragon soul more majestic than before, it had also become stronger. There were faint signs of it breaking through the shackles and transforming into a dragon.

Facing the dragon aura, no one dared to breathe. Even those higher life forms felt a strong pressure in their hearts.

The scene was silent, only the dragon aura was spreading.

Shuntiandao looked at the dragon soul floating in the sky. He felt Zi Chen's aura from it and had a guess in his heart. He looked at Zi Chen again and found that he couldn't see through him anymore.

Dragons were naturally a type of higher life form. However, this type of life form had a very high starting point, just like those supreme beasts.

Such existences were usually very arrogant. Except for supreme beasts of the same level, they didn't even put other higher life forms in their eyes, let alone humans.

But why would this supreme dragon soul in front of him attach itself to Zi Chen and even recognize Zi Chen as its master?

Shuntiandao wasn't the only one who couldn't understand, the others couldn't understand either.

Swoosh.

Seeing that no one dared to move, the dragon aura around the dragon soul gradually retracted. Then, the huge dragon shadow shook its body and turned into a dragon spear.

Seeing the dragon spear, many higher life forms couldn't help but exclaim.

"Weapon, a dragon soul weapon!"

"This Zi Chen actually integrated the dragon soul into his weapon!"

"This is a supreme dragon soul. He actually refined it into a mortal weapon. What a waste!"

Those who exclaimed and sighed were all higher life forms. They were very sensitive to the dragon aura just now. That kind of oppressive aura that came from the soul was the aura of a supreme beast.

However, such a powerful Utmost Exalted Beast had actually been refined into a Domain Armament.

No one could accept this scene.

Even Shuntiandao and the others had a look of astonishment on their faces.

But relatively speaking, many humans didn't have such a big change in expression because some of them had seen the Dragon Soul Spear before.

The Dragon Soul Spear floated in front of Zi Chen. Zi Chen calmly looked at Dark Mantle. Originally, the two were going to fight, but the sudden appearance of the Dragon Soul Spear delayed them for a while.

The corner of Dark Mantle's mouth had a trace of bitterness. "I didn't expect you to have such a thing. Then let's forget about this battle. My weapon is not as good as yours."

Dark Mantle shook his head and chose to give up.

The human cultivators were very surprised by Dark Mantle's decision to give up, but the higher life forms were relieved because if Zi Chen held the Dragon Soul Spear, the dragon aura that was constantly spreading would greatly suppress Dark Mantle. Dark Mantle wouldn't be able to display his full combat strength.

And with this Dragon Soul Spear, Zi Chen had the qualifications to lead the higher life forms because it was a supreme dragon soul.

The Dragon Soul Spear turned into a ray of light and disappeared into Zi Chen's body. After keeping the Dragon Soul Spear, Zi Chen looked at Dark Mantle and said indifferently, "Since it's a challenge, it naturally has to be fair. Let's fight. I won't use any weapon, only my fists."

Dark Mantle looked at Zi Chen with some astonishment.

Zi Chen clenched his fist and said, "Why? Can't I?"

Dark Mantle looked at Zi Chen and said seriously, "This is a challenge. I will give it my all."

Zi Chen nodded and said, "Of course, I will give it my all too."

Swoosh. Swoosh.
