You shouldn't take pills!

[Ding—— ]

Immediately, a piece of information appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

[The Blood Red Pill is derived from Blood Red Ginseng, which undergoes a 749-day refining process using an extremely demanding method.

Blood Red Ginseng, a highly prized medicinal ingredient, is said to require nourishment from spirit beast essence for a century to grow due to its harsh growth conditions. As it is nourished by spirit beast essence, Blood Red Ginseng contains immense energy.

However, this infusion also brings out a wild nature. When consumed alone without other medicinal herbs, it is prone to inducing a berserk state.

After taking the Blood Red Pill, one can experience a substantial increase in strength, but it comes with significant side effects, severely harming one's foundation, potentially leading to...]

Ye Chen didn't expect Qian Xunji to lack such self-confidence that he would resort to taking pills even before starting the battle.

No wonder Qian Xunji, as the Supreme Pontiff, hasn't achieved much. It seems his strength is inadequate.

"The gap between you and me cannot be bridged by pills, and such forced advancement will cause you great after-effects!" Ye Chen squinted his eyes and said.

Cultivation is a matter of perseverance and gradual progress. Trying to forcefully improve one's cultivation goes against the law of heaven and harms the foundation.

"You're right, but I am stronger than you now!" Qian Xunji's mouth revealed a trace of blood, obviously due to the overwhelming power of the drug.

Regardless of who Ye Chen was, Qian Xunji didn't dare to gamble with his life. He just needed to kill Ye Chen to be done with it!

Even with blood seeping from the corner of Qian Xunji's mouth, the overwhelming surge of soul power within him remained unyielding. The faint purple soul power enveloped his body like mist.

"Martial Soul Possession!" Qian Xunji called out, and immediately, countless soul forces surged towards him as if summoned.

A golden, sacred light appeared on him, and three pairs of huge golden wings radiated light, carrying him off the ground, suspended in mid-air.

Bibi Dong couldn't help but worry for the black-clad youth in front of her. In the Douluo Continent, the Martial Soul determines a soul master's upper limit. Higher-quality Martial Souls can allow a soul master to overpower others at the same level, and as the levels progress, the power of the Martial Soul becomes even more prominent.

Qian Xunji's Martial Soul was a Seraphim, one of the most powerful Martial Souls in the world.

"Stronger than me?" Ye Chen snorted coldly, looking disdainful. He couldn't understand how Qian Xunji dared to utter such arrogant words.

Ye Chen glanced at Qian Xunji, who was floating in mid-air, and said "Impressed with your ability to fly?"

With a flick of his sleeve, small blue water streams swiftly gathered and condensed beneath his feet, forming a massive wave that elevated his entire body. Ye Chen stood confidently on the crest of the wave.

"Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to be enemies with my Martial Soul Hall?" Qian Xunji's eyes darkened as he threatened, hoping to fight for another chance for himself.

"Quit the nonsense and fight if you want to!" Ye Chen said contemptuously, finding Qian Xunji's talk tiresome.

"Looking for death!" Qian Xunji's face darkened as he coldly snorted. In the next moment, his figure blurred and disappeared from the original spot, leaving only afterimages behind.

He flew towards Ye Chen in the air, stretching out his right fist. Countless golden holy lights gathered on his fist, forming a golden angel saint glove.

The gloves contained tremendous energy, providing both power and protection for Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji's fist moved at an incredibly fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Ye Chen.

Bibi Dong's heart was in her throat as she felt immense pressure from the front.

Ye Chen's expression remained calm, not showing the slightest panic. He immediately made a gesture with his right hand and accompanied by a faint purple soul power, he uttered, "Deep Sea Abyss!"

Suddenly, countless blue water streams surged from all directions and gradually converged into a giant oceanic wave that stood before Ye Chen like a black hole. This wave could withstand all of Qian Xunji's attacks.

"Let me show you the power of the ocean!" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Qian Xunji's fist struck the waves in front of Ye Chen, but it felt like hitting cotton. All the force was instantly dissipated, and the waves swiftly engulfed the golden holy light surrounding Qian Xunji's fist.

Moreover, what terrified Qian Xunji the most was the seawater that fell on his arm. It wasn't ordinary seawater; it carried a corrosive power that made a sizzling sound when it touched the sacred light on his fist.

The power of the sacred light was visibly disappearing.

"Get lost!" Ye Chen lightly shouted, and the next moment, the enormous wave thrust forward with immense force, sending Qian Xunji flying.

Qian Xunji had to retreat several steps before stabilizing himself.

"This... this... this is impossible." Qian Xunji stared blankly at the scene before him, filled with disbelief.

He knew that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Limit Douluo, but he didn't expect it to be so vast. Just one move and he was in such a miserable state.

And the boy before him was so young. Given a few more years, who knew what terrifying existence he would grow into?

Qian Xunji looked at Ye Chen with a dark expression. "It was just one move, don't be too arrogant. I haven't used all my strength yet."

As he spoke, Qian Xunji slowly extended his right palm, and countless golden sacred lights gathered on his hand, forming a vague shape. The shape continued to solidify, and a longsword engulfed in blood-red flames materialized in Qian Xunji's hand.

"Holy Sword!"

Qian Xunji gripped the crimson longsword, which carried a unique aura and terrifying power.

Feeling the power in his hand, Qian Xunji was extremely excited. He didn't believe that Ye Chen could withstand this move!

Swoosh! The surrounding air distorted and blurred in an instant as Qian Xunji's figure suddenly vanished from his original position, leaving only a series of afterimages.

Ye Chen stood his ground, and in front of him was still the "Deep Sea Abyss," the massive blue barrier that could withstand all of Qian Xunji's attacks!

"One man can defeat an army!" Ye Chen exuded confidence.

But in Qian Xunji's eyes, Ye Chen's contempt and provocation were apparent.

"Break for me!" Qian Xunji roared, and with just the fluctuation of his soul power, he shattered the nearly completed Lore Lotus Formation.

At the same time, Qian Xunji's aura surged again!
