Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen barely managed to hear a transmission from the ancient emperor of the Yan Clan in his mind reminding him to be cautious of everything, heard Jiang Yao's soft cry, and then felt her tender hand he was holding torn away by a mysterious blood-red light. Next thing he knew, amidst dizziness and disorientation, Ye Chen found himself in a completely new world.

"I've arrived at the second level of the Undersea Divine Palace!"

Ye Chen looked at the jade slip in his hand, which contained the rules of the Undersea Divine Palace, and saw the symbol for the second out of the Thirty-Three levels light up.

"According to the jade slip, starting from the second level of the Undersea Divine Palace, the space of each level is as vast as one of the Thirty-Three continents of the Lower Realm, with lengths and widths exceeding hundreds of thousands of miles!"

"Just by flying, it would take quite a lot of time to traverse these places. If I were to meticulously search these realms for the 'Eye of Creation' and the 'Eye of the Sea God', it would take even longer!"

"Moreover, the jade slip also states that each level of the Undersea Divine Palace contains countless folded spaces. Different people may fall into different folded spaces, and it is not possible for warriors in different spaces to encounter each other unless they pass through their respective spatial exits and enter the next level of the Undersea Divine Palace."

"I don't know if Jiang Yao is in the same folded space as I am, or how many other people are in this folded space!"

While Ye Chen was contemplating, he tucked the jade slip of the Undersea Divine Palace rules into his chest.

This jade slip had another special function—it would give a specific alert if a warrior entered the same folded space within a three hundred miles radius.

Ye Chen planned to search the area while looking for other warriors to see if he could encounter Jiang Yao or True God Murong Lan and the others.

Once he stored the jade slip away, Ye Chen looked up and observed the second level of the Undersea Divine Palace.

Roar! Roar!

The land was filled with fierce winds, like the howling of beasts, and everything was shrouded in a gray haze.

Ye Chen touched the "Ice Treasure Divine Ring" on his thumb, and with a flick of his sleeve, he turned into a streak of light, flying forward.

The Ice Treasure Divine Ring was an auxiliary artifact that Ye Chen acquired from True God Bing Ao of the Ice Wing Tribe in the Minor Pole Sky.

This artifact, crafted by a powerful Nine Tribulations True God of the Ice Wing Tribe, possessed three extraordinary effects: "Treasure Seeking, Space, and Concealment."

Ye Chen wore this ring primarily for its "Treasure Seeking" ability. Although it wasn't certain that he could find the exceedingly precious "Eye of Creation" and "Eye of the Divine Sea" with it, Ye Chen of course wanted to try.

Apart from the Ice Treasure Divine Ring, Ye Chen also extended the defensive Divine Robe, the "Purple Mist True Garment," to a radius of ten zhang around his body, guarding carefully against everything.

At the same time, Ye Chen took out the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact Flying Boat and the Purple Blood Divine Sword, keeping them ready in his hands.

The Undersea Divine Palace was full of deadly threats, and Ye Chen was of course proceeding with caution!

Ye Chen flew while carefully sending out his divine sense to probe the entire piece of land below him.

Although the chances of the "Eye of Creation" and "Eye of the Divine Sea" appearing on the second level were extremely low, Ye Chen was not about to relax his search.

He hadn't flown for long when sharp, piercing screeches echoed from the ground. In an instant, five beams of black light shot towards Ye Chen at an inconceivable speed.

Ye Chen instantly felt the tremendous force of the five attacks, all of which possessed the combat power of the late stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, bombard his body.

The five beams of black light were incredibly fast and possessed immense power!

However, Ye Chen didn't take attacks of this caliber seriously at all.

When the five beams of black light were about to strike Ye Chen, he didn't even need to use the Purple Blood Divine Sword. Instead, he just pointed his finger precisely in the air, and with five "Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" sounds, he repelled the black lights, making them tumble backward before dissipating to reveal the creatures within.

These were five half-meter tall, mink-like mystical creatures with strange black armor on their bodies.

Ye Chen had not expected these incredibly fast and powerful Black Armored Beasts to have such strong defenses.

Although Ye Chen had only used a pointing motion, the lethal force he unleashed was certainly enough to penetrate the bodies of top-tier mystical creatures at the late stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm.

It was unexpected that these five Black Armored Beasts could withstand it.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was that after being struck and sent flying backward, revealing their true forms, these five Black Armored Beasts actually spoke human language, saying, "So powerful, this human, our tribe of 'Black Armored Beasts' cannot withstand him!"

"Run! Quick, run!"

After a few shouts, the five Black Armored Beasts turned back into beams of black light and sped away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Black Armored Beasts?"

"Creatures that can speak the human language?"

Watching the fleeing creatures, Ye Chen had no intention of continuing the pursuit to finish them off. He kept flying forward.

According to the jade slip of the Undersea Divine Palace rules, every level of the palace was home to two murderous life-form tribes.

Having encountered the "Black Armored Beast" tribe, Ye Chen wondered what the second murderous life-form tribe would be.

To Ye Chen's surprise, after flying for most of an hour and searching hundreds of miles without encountering the second murderous life-form tribe, he had to become even more cautious.

As Ye Chen flew into a depression in the terrain, a series of light beeping sounds, dozens in all, suddenly came from the jade slip in his chest.

"Are there other warriors ahead?!"

"Listening to that sound, there are quite a few martial artists gathered!"

Whoosh.

Sensing the presence of other martial artists nearby as indicated by the jade slip, Ye Chen's speed instantly increased, and he flew toward the valley ahead.

Before long, Ye Chen saw dozens of figures gathering on a flat land ahead.

"Another fellow Daoist has arrived!"

As Ye Chen flew toward those dozens of figures, they also noticed him.

However, when they saw that the aura on Ye Chen's body was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, their faces showed disappointment.

They had suddenly arrived in the perilous Undersea Divine Palace and were constantly on edge; naturally, they preferred to be with stronger martial artists. That way, their venture through the Undersea Divine Palace would be much safer.

The lowest realm to be drawn to the Undersea Divine Palace was the early stage of the Heavenly Saint, so seeing that Ye Chen was of the lowest realm amongst them, they were understandably disappointed.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, didn't pay attention to their expressions. He noticed that he had never seen any of these dozens of faces before. It seemed that these people had not noticed Ye Chen either.

Ye Chen also noticed that among these dozens of figures, there were two who were Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact level powerhouses; the rest were at the Heavenly Saint Realm.

At that moment, everyone was gathered around the two First Tribulation powerhouses.

Whoosh.

When Ye Chen landed in front of the group, most people were worried about their safety. Seeing Ye Chen's low realm, they cared even less about him.

However, an older man in the late phase of the Heavenly Saint Realm approached Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, do you come from our Minor Spirit Realm, or from which continent in the Lower Realm?"

"I come from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent," Ye Chen responded with a smile.

"The Barbaric Wilderness Continent?" Hearing that Ye Chen was from one of the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm, many martial artists in the crowd sighed.

The Barbaric Wilderness Continent was one of the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm, certainly not as strong or well-founded as the sects of the Minor Spirit Realm.

Many in the crowd were disciples of small sects from the Minor Spirit Realm. Although they did not come from the five ancient clans, they obviously did not think highly of martial artists from the thirty-three continents.

Nevertheless, the older Heavenly Saint who had spoken to Ye Chen did not despise him and said with a laugh, "There are countless dangers in this Undersea Divine Palace. On our way here, we encountered several waves of 'Black Armored Beasts' ambushing us, and we even witnessed some fellow Daoists die at their hands."

"Since you have encountered us, let's explore the second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace together."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded his head, not refusing.

The Undersea Divine Palace was fraught with life and death crises—it was indeed better to move in larger groups for increased safety.

The elder, who clearly had strong interpersonal skills, began introducing the other martial artists to Ye Chen as he pulled Ye Chen into the crowd.

The two First Tribulation powerhouses were named Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God, each from small sects in the Northern Region of the Minor Spirit Realm.

In the Minor Spirit Realm, small sects did not have powerhouses beyond the Three Tribulations level; only those with powerhouses above the Three Tribulations could be considered large sects.

And among the large sects, only those with Fifth Tribulation level powerhouses could be considered major forces.

Of course, existences like the ancient five clans were something that countless Heavenly Saints and true gods in the Minor Spirit Realm looked up to.

Besides Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God, more than twenty of the Heavenly Saints came from small sects in the Minor Spirit Realm, while over a dozen others, like Ye Chen, also came from one of the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm.

"Alright, let's move on!"

When Ye Chen arrived, the group, led by Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God, was resting. After the two true gods finished resting and were ready to move on, everyone stood up, preparing to continue their journey together.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two true gods led the way, flying in front, followed by the Heavenly Saints behind.

While continuing to fly, Ye Chen and the others encountered another dozen or so martial artists, who all joined the group, venturing together through the second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen and his companions also encountered dozens of ambushes by "Black Armored Beasts," including two that were at the First Tribulation true god level.

Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God were decisive; they not only killed the two First Tribulation level "Black Armored Beasts," but also eliminated any late stage Heavenly Saint level beasts, ensuring the group's safe passage.

This made the many Heavenly Saints praise Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God without end.

Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God seemed quite pleased with the praise, smiling as they conversed with the Heavenly Saints flying behind them.

This process of flying, killing, and treasure hunting continued for half an hour until, just as Liao Hua True God and Du Ling True God had jointly slain another First Tribulation level Black Armored Beast and were enjoying the praises of many Heavenly Saints, Ye Chen's expression suddenly tightened as he blurted out, "Be careful!"

No sooner had Ye Chen spoken than Liao Hua True God, who had been smiling at the front, turned pitch-black and plummeted from the sky to the ground, ending his life instantly.
