When Ye Chen entered the sixth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, all the sovereigns and lords of the various Great Divine Kingdoms knew that Ye Chen's cultivation achievements this time would be even greater.
After all, in the previous levels, Ye Chen had only spent a little over half an hour and already mastered nine volumes of the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound. This time, in the fifth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, Ye Chen had cultivated for dozens of hours, surely he will have even greater gains.
When they saw Ye Chen step into the sixth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, almost half of the Divine Kingdom lords focused their eyes on him. The remaining few also kept an eye on the battles of others in the True God and Divine Venerable areas while occasionally glancing towards Ye Chen.
Not only these sovereigns and lords.
Even the God Kings like Jiang Yao, Qianqian, and Moko Ye, who had already completed this round of competition, were also following Ye Chen's progress closely.
The spotlighted Ye Chen had now arrived at the sixth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain.
At this moment, Ye Chen's fighting spirit showed no signs of diminishing, and was still rising continuously!
The more he fought, the more Ye Chen realized that the heart of driving through knowing he couldn't conquer all seven Divine Mountains, but striving anyway, kept his state of mind in an excellent condition.
Ye Chen sensed that comprehending the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound came as naturally as a fish in water.
In the earlier second level, he spent over half an hour advancing the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound from the twelfth to the twenty-first volume. Just in the fifth level, Ye Chen spent more time but managed to advance it from the twenty-first to the twenty-seventh volume in one breakthrough!
Only the last nine volumes remained unmastered!
Even though he only advanced six volumes this time, Ye Chen felt that the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound became more difficult as it progressed, enhancing his combat power more significantly.
Moreover, after failing to comprehend the twenty-eighth volume of the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound, Ye Chen specifically refined some Divine Treasures obtained from the Divine Sect within the Starry Sky Waterfall during his time in the fifth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain.
Ye Chen now had many more techniques at his disposal.
Besides, Ye Chen had an ultimate technique yet to be used—the Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.
Even without using the combat power of the Tai Yu Chapter, Ye Chen was absolutely confident of advancing to even higher levels.
In the sixth level space, Ye Chen faced the approaching God-devouring Great Demon head-on.
This battle was even bloodier and more terrifying than the previous ones.
The God-devouring Great Demon in the sixth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain had a combat power reaching the dreadful ordinary five-star Sovereign level. This time, Ye Chen relied on his Eternal God Body, Heavenly Forbidden Flame, Starry Origin Power, the full combat power of the Great Sun Pitha Divine Sound, and used two Divine Treasures obtained from the Starry Sky Waterfall to finally conquer the sixth level!
Ye Chen stepped directly into the seventh level of the Fifth Divine Mountain!
As Ye Chen's score rose another level, all the God Kings focusing on his performance gasped.
"The Sixth Divine Mountain, even the Divine Master of the Cosmic Sea Ancestral God Temple couldn't conquer it. Could Ye Chen, in God King Realm, finish the Fifth Divine Mountain and enter the Sixth Divine Mountain?"
It should be known that even Moko Ye, the best performer in the Battle of the God Kings, only advanced to the fifth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain. Others like Qianqian and Jiang Yao didn't surpass five levels either, indicating the difficulty of breaching the fifth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain.
Now, Ye Chen not only passed the fifth level but also advanced through the sixth, and astonishingly entered the seventh level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, causing extreme panic among the other God Kings.
Especially Moko Ye, who knew the horror of the God-devouring Great Demon in the fifth level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, even after learning formidable Cultivation Techniques, he was completely no match for the fifth-level God-devouring Great Demon. Now that Ye Chen advanced two more levels than him, Moko Ye found it hard to believe.
"Could it be that Ye Chen received the inheritance from that Great Emperor as well?" Moko Ye speculated, "But, even with the inheritance, his combat power shouldn't be this terrifying!"
Jiang Yao watched Ye Chen's performance and showed a sweet smile.
This time, although Jiang Yao only progressed to the third level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, it wasn't her maximum abilities.
Jiang Yao knew that advancing to the third level definitely ensured her spot in the top one hundred, and she hadn't reached the time to showcase her full combat prowess yet.
Jiang Yao was also aware that even though Ye Chen reached the seventh level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, he hadn't yet exerted all his combat capabilities.
Qianqian glanced at Ye Chen's score, her eyes glinted as she pondered about his achievements.
As someone closest to Ye Chen, Jiang Yao naturally guessed correctly.
Even stepping into the seventh level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, Ye Chen hadn't released the final trump card—the combat power of the Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.
Within the seventh level, when facing a new God-devouring Great Demon, Ye Chen finally sensed his limit.
This God-devouring Great Demon employed a new Secret Technique—"God-devouring Transformation," completely suppressing Ye Chen from the beginning.
Ye Chen unleashed all his combat techniques except the Tai Yu Chapter and fought for thousands of moves against the God-devouring Great Demon, with Ye Chen left bloodstained, and the God-devouring Great Demon suffering only minor injuries.
This realization showed Ye Chen that without deploying the techniques of the Tai Yu Chapter, he absolutely couldn't break through this level.
Finally, as Ye Chen looked at the God-devouring Great Demon before him, his mind and spirit flickered: "The Seventh Level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, it is enough."
"If I use the power of the Tai Yu Chapter, advancing through the seventh level isn't a problem, but I'd likely halt at the eighth or ninth level, unable to enter the Sixth Divine Mountain, since not even the Divine Master of the Ancestral God Temple could breach the Sixth Divine Mountain."
"This is merely a battle to transform one thousand competitors into one hundred, knowing my limit, it's time to stop!"
Even though Ye Chen had resolved not to reveal the ultimate technique, he hadn't completely given up on fighting. He aimed to use every method and battle against the God-devouring Great Demon till the last moment.
Ye Chen knew he shouldn't worry about injuries, just like every time the checkpoint ends, the Ancestral God Temple restores the competitors' conditions. Even battling against the God-devouring Great Demon till elimination, he'd be fully restored post-elimination.
Given this scenario, fighting to the end was the only way!
This determination made Ye Chen fight with all his strength.
Due to this effort, Ye Chen managed to severely wound the God-devouring Great Demon in the seventh level with his final struggles, although initially he had only inflicted minor damages.
Despite being eliminated eventually, Ye Chen's battle scenes deeply etched in the minds of countless Divine Kingdom lords, Sovereigns, and Great Powerholders of the Ancestral God Temple.
Ye Chen, by advancing to the seventh level of the Fifth Divine Mountain, concluded his match, wrapped up his thousand-to-one-hundred battle!
Except for Ye Chen himself, nobody realized that at the exact moment he was eliminated, even the Ancestral God Temple powerholder who placed the Great Demon in the Divine Mountain didn't know Ye Chen had received a mysterious cultivation technique in his mind.
God-devouring Transformation.
This was indeed the powerful Secret Technique the God-devouring Great Demon used to finally defeat Ye Chen in the seventh level.
And it seemed to be more comprehensive than the move employed by the God-devouring Great Demon in the seventh level!
God-devouring Transformation!
The exclusive Secret Technique belonging to the God-devouring Great Demon clan had moved into Ye Chen's mind, and whether it was transferred by the God-devouring Great Demon or Ye Chen touched upon a unique fortune to acquire it remains a mystery!
