616: Chapter 616 Saving Yuewen

Seeing this, Chen Yi was also lost in thought.

So, the reason he felt he could use more power wasn't because he was approaching the Void Realm, but because of this thing?

A thirty-star treasure—how could one appear in such a desolate wilderness?

This place feels quite suspicious too!

Perhaps it is time to spend some effort to properly investigate this place!

Chen Yi put away the talisman seal and simultaneously released a trace of spiritual power to activate it.

In an instant, a warm force surged into his body. He could feel that the power he could manipulate had increased significantly, almost reaching half of his prime!

Although he hadn't fully recovered, it was still easy enough to casually kill an ordinary Ancient God!

"Mengxue, your eyes are sharp as always!"

"I don't want verbal praise; just reward me when we get back!"

"That is naturally no problem."

Zhao Batian probably never dreamed that Chen Yi had actually let him escape on purpose.

After all, for him to dare to clamor against Lin Mengxue for the sake of Yue Wen, it was clear that Yue Wen's place of detention or Yue Wen herself held some trump card he could utilize.

So Chen Yi decided to follow the vine to find the melon, which also saved him the trouble of searching for Yue Wen.

Soon, Lin Mengxue brought Chen Yi to Zhao Batian's hideout.

It was a desolate planet, its surface pockmarked with craters, without an atmosphere, water, or any signs of life.

In a crater on the planet, Yue Wen was indeed being held captive.

The area around the crater was covered in dense, crisscrossing runes, forming a massive barrier that suppressed her within.

Her silver-white hair was scattered messily, her long dress was covered in dust, and she looked quite haggard, yet her eyes were still filled with an unyielding expression.

Yue Wen was stunned when she saw Chen Yi arrive.

"He came to find me; he actually came to find me!"

"Under these circumstances, when no one knew where I was being held, he actually came to find me?"

"How did he find this place? Did he come alone? Can he beat those pirates? Does he still have power? Is he... here to save me?"

Countless thoughts surged through Yue Wen's mind, each pointing to the same answer—Chen Yi had come to save her!

Just like when he helped her take first place in the Kingdom of Extreme Evil, he was always like this, quietly—walking into her heart!

Bringing endless ripples to her!

[Ding! Yue Wen favorability +10 points!]

[Current favorability: 75 points!]

Chen Yi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and looked at Zhao Batian.

Seeing Chen Yi and his companion arrive, Zhao Batian didn't flee; instead, he let out an unbridled laugh.

"Heh, you really did track me down! I knew it, you must have wanted to follow the vine to find the melon, which is why you let me escape!"

"Thinking you're so clever! Did you think I was unaware and just foolishly led you here? How stupid!"

"Next, let me show you the legendary power of an Ancient God!"

As his words fell, the barrier around Yue Wen suddenly erupted with blinding light.

That light surged out from the barrier, following the lines of the runes, and poured into Zhao Batian's body.

Yue Wen's body trembled violently; she could feel her power being rapidly drained away.

Meanwhile, the power on Zhao Batian was climbing steadily.

His aura broke through the Heavenly God level and reached the level of an Ancient God!

Although it was only temporary, it was indeed the power of an Ancient God!

In this world, the power of an Ancient God that no one had ever reached!

He clenched his fists, feeling the unprecedented, powerful force within his body; he couldn't suppress the smirk on his lips.

"Do you see? This is my trump card! Die!"

Chen Yi watched him charge over, raised his hand, and casually slapped out: "Too noisy!"

Then, Zhao Batian's body flew backward like a cannonball, faster than he had come, crashing through a nearby asteroid.

That asteroid shattered instantly upon impact, turning into countless fragments that drifted into the Void Realm.

Zhao Batian was covered in blood, embedded in a large fragment, completely dazed.

"Impossible! How could this happen?"

"I am clearly an Ancient God, I clearly possess the power of an Ancient God, he should clearly be able to crush everything, why?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Lin Mengxue glanced at Chen Yi, and Chen Yi nodded.

Between the two of them, there was no need for excessive verbal communication!

Lin Mengxue spread her wings and flew out, instantly catching up to Zhao Batian.

Ice-blue light surged from her mouth, engulfing Zhao Batian completely.

Before Zhao Batian could even scream, he was frozen into an ice sculpture.

A generation of pirate leaders had fallen!

Chen Yi withdrew his gaze and walked into the crater.

He looked at those runes, raised his hand, and pressed it against the barrier, instantly shattering it into countless specks of light.

Then, half-jokingly, he said: "Aren't you a God Emperor? How could you be captured by such a group of—"

Before he could finish, Yue Wen rushed up, threw herself into Chen Yi's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and buried her face in his chest.

Chen Yi froze completely.

Yue Wen, God Emperor level, the next City Lord of the City of Extreme Evil, that cold, arrogant woman who never lowered her head—was actually crying right now?

"Do you know how scared I was—"

"The first day I was teleported here, I was caught by them—"

"They wanted to extract the world will from me, but they couldn't, so they locked me here—"

"This world prevents me from using my power; with my current strength, I can at most protect myself, but there's no way to escape—"

"I tried calling for help, but no one came—I thought—I would eventually die here from exhaustion—"

Chen Yi listened silently without interrupting.

Actually, these experiences were nothing.

Yue Wen had been a Genius since she was young, raised in the palm of the hands of City Lord Di Wushuang and Ancestor Yunsan.

She was accustomed to being respected, accustomed to being protected, and accustomed to being high above—which was why she considered these experiences a tribulation.

The fact that those pirates couldn't defeat her and could only lock her up was already the best possible outcome!

But for her, this was the first time in thirty thousand years that she had felt helpless, the first time she had felt fear, and the first time she had felt that sensation of being on the edge of life and death.

Chen Yi gently patted her back: "It's okay now, I'm here—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Wen suddenly stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Chen Yi's body, and kissed him with her cherry lips.

[Ding! Yue Wen favorability +10 points!]

[Current favorability: 85 points!]

The sudden sound of the System notification, combined with Yue Wen's unexpected action, left Chen Yi completely dumbfounded!

Good grief, how did he get forcibly kissed again?

Was this also the world malice?
