Supreme Sword God

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: Three Powerful Alien Races, Overlord Race Descends!

"Old man, can we chat for a bit?" Ye Chen asked tentatively.

The elderly man: "Old as I am, not only are my legs and feet not nimble, my breathing isn’t either, can’t you see I’m out of breath?"

Ye Chen: "No worries, old man, you rest up, we’ll chat later."

Saying this, Ye Chen, familiar as ever, sat down on the ground.

Just like the old man.

"I’ve got some elixirs to strengthen the foundation and fortify vitality, want a few?"

The old man glanced at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "It’s fine, if you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to mind me."

A moment passed.

Ye Chen added: "Old man, are you thirsty? I can get you some water. If you don’t want water, I can fetch you any jade dew you might want. I’m someone with no other skills but to respect my elders, so don’t hesitate to tell me what you need."

The old man glanced at Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen: "It’s okay if you don’t feel like talking, I understand!"

The old man: "Thirsty."

Ye Chen perked up immediately, sprang to his feet, and asked, "Old man, what would you like to drink?"

The old man: "The water from the ancient well."

Ye Chen’s face dropped immediately.

The old man: "Alright, let’s go, no need to get close with an old man like me, plus you can’t really get close, I won’t fall for these tricks."

Ye Chen gave an awkward yet polite smile and said, "Old man, I’m not trying to cozy up, I truly feel destined to meet you. The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity in my heart. I think we could be friends across generations!"

The old man: "Heh heh."

Ye Chen: "Old man, have you been guarding this ancient well all this time? Why don’t you interfere when the Purple Crystal Race takes over this place?"

The old man: "If they want to die, let them die, I don’t care to watch."

Ye Chen: "So why did you show up when I came? And even saved me?"

The old man: "You can’t die yet."

Ye Chen was instantly moved, saying, "Old man, you say you don’t want to acknowledge me, yet you care about me in your heart."

The old man: ???

Ye Chen: "If it weren’t for your help just now, I would’ve died in the ancient well. Your life-saving grace, I, Ye Chen, will certainly repay abundantly!"

The old man: "Heh heh... weren’t you called Yi Xiaochen?"

Ye Chen was suddenly speechless.

So.

Had this old man seen through Ye Chen’s serious nonsense with Juechen, the current master of the Knowledge and Action Temple?

"Old man, the name Yi Xiaochen is just an act, not to be taken seriously. That Juechen goat, he’s no good, I’m just placating him. I was only protecting myself; that guy’s really something, and if I don’t scare him off, I’d be in trouble."

Before this old man, Ye Chen indeed didn’t dare to continue making up stories with the name Yi Xiaochen.

The old man leaned against the edge of the ancient well and fell asleep.

Began to snore lightly.

A bubble even emerged from his nostril, growing and shrinking with each breath.

Ye Chen’s hand itched, wanting to pop that bubble with a sword.

But he restrained himself.

What if he poked at it and the bubble didn’t burst, but the old man opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" There’d be no explaining that.

......

At this time.

In Yan Province.

A great storm was brewing.

The eldest prince of the Purple Crystal Race was exterminated, and the Purple Crystal Emperor sensed it.

Furious, the Purple Crystal Emperor immediately led the strongest followers of the Purple Crystal Race to that forest.

On the way.

An Emperor Realm member of the Purple Crystal Race looked worried and said, "Purple Crystal Emperor, we haven’t yet figured out the opponent’s background, isn’t this too rash? Currently, our Hundred Races Alliance is gravely injured, and the hands behind the chaotic era are showing one by one. If we provoke an existence beyond our capability, charging in like this is akin to a death wish..."

The Purple Crystal Emperor snorted coldly, "Fortune comes with risks, doesn’t that make sense to you?

The Hundred Races Alliance is indeed in a serious crisis because of Ye Chen.

More than half the emperors have fallen.

During that time, I was healing beyond the heavens and luckily escaped disaster, surely a twist of fate.

At present.

The other powers of the Hundred Races Alliance are recuperating, frightened and hesitant.

If we, the Purple Crystal Race, seize this opportunity to strengthen ourselves, our influence in the Hundred Races Alliance will undoubtedly see a significant increase.

If we can uncover a monumental treasure from that ancient well, our Purple Crystal Race might even replace the Hundred Spirits Race as the dominant force in the Alliance!

Such an opportunity, one in a million years, how can it be missed!"

"But..."

The Purple Crystal Emperor interrupted directly, "No buts.

The ancient well is enigmatic, and it certainly holds supreme fortunes inside.

Someone going directly there with such clear intent must know secrets about the well.

Based on some intelligence I have, that person bears only the aura of the Great Emperor.

Capturing that person, the glory of the Purple Crystal Race is just around the corner!"

"Purple Crystal Emperor... even with only the Great Emperor’s aura... we still..."

Purple Crystal Emperor: "What do you want to say?"

A group of strong members of the Purple Crystal Race all shrank their necks.

What they want to say... everyone understands.

The Purple Crystal Emperor is just at the Emperor Realm Tenth Layer, not even a Great Emperor... yet wants to challenge a Great Emperor, basically going to get themselves killed.

"Bunch of fools!"

The Purple Crystal Emperor cursed angrily, "Do you think I am so reckless and ignorant? I haven’t shared the ancient well’s secrets with any emperor in the Hundred Races Alliance, naturally not wanting to share this fortune with them.

But...

I’m not arrogant enough to think I can take this supreme fortune alone.

Let me be honest with you.

I’ve already contacted the Overlord Race, who dominate the Southern Domain, and their strong forces have already entered Yan Province. I’ve arranged to meet them in the area of the ancient well.

With the Overlord Race support, once we take the fortune from the well, we can establish dominance in the Eastern Domain Hundred Races Alliance, and even the Hundred Spirits Race will have to bow!"

Hearing the two words ’Overlord Race’.

The anxious ones among the Purple Crystal Race who had been considering retreat now each showed enthusiasm.

Among the alien races, the three strong races reign.

Namely, the Golden Ancient Race, the Overlord Race, and the Hundred Spirits Race.

The power gap among these three strong races is enormous.

The Golden Ancient Race, undoubtedly the number one alien race.

Next is the Overlord Race.

The Overlord Race’s talent completely outshines the Hundred Spirits Race.

Among the same tier.

The Overlord Race’s geniuses can fight two geniuses from the Hundred Spirits Race and remain undefeated!

"The Purple Crystal Emperor is brilliant!"

"With the Overlord Race backing us, hahaha, the Purple Crystal Race is about to soar!"

"The wisdom of the Purple Crystal Emperor is unrivaled!"

......

By the ancient well.

Ye Chen looked at the snoring old man and was speechless.

Dare claim old age and frailty?

The snoring is like thunder.

And not just ordinary thunder.

It’s like the heavens roaring!

Ye Chen gritted his teeth.

Someone feigning sleep can never be awakened.

If this old man sleeps for decades, he... can’t afford that time!

Just as Ye Chen hesitated and was about to retreat.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion erupted.

In the distance.

Huge swaths of the sky shattered.

Tremendous shockwaves spread in all directions, fracturing the earth for miles around.

Ye Chen glanced at the snoring old man, his mouth twitching.

Still not waking up...
