Chapter 124: Astonishing Discovery

  According to Ye Chen's calculations, that strand of spiritual energy would have to be violent enough to damage his meridians for at least half a month. So, for now, he didn't feel the need to rush off and find a secluded place. As he watched the various powerful individuals gather in one direction, Ye Chen's curiosity was also piqued.

  Most of the powers in the Eastern State have arrived, and these powerful figures have come. What is it that has brought them here?

  It's not just that the major powers have sent people, but they've all come with powerful elders, and even the Heavenly Master of the Dongtian has arrived. It's possible that the heads of the two universities have also come this time.

  In a certain place in the Hou Tu Forest, it has become a gathering place for strong people. Ye Chen is ready to sneak a peek, and maybe Yu Linglong will come too. With so many forces coming, how can Linglong Island not come?

  Ye Chen didn't know where the strong people from all sides were going, but he knew they were all heading south, which was consistent with his original direction. It seemed to be in the center of Hou Tu Forest.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chen quickly stepped away, without Zhan Xiaoling by his side, Ye Chen had a lot less worries, at least he wouldn't have to make a big detour to avoid the aura of low-level spiritual beasts.

  However, as Ye Chen traveled along the way, he discovered a problem. In many places, he felt the aura of spiritual beasts, but did not see any traces of them. Some places had an extremely strong aura, yet there was still no sign of the spiritual beasts.

  Ye Chen came to a conclusion that all the spiritual beasts and wild beasts in a very large area had disappeared, or rather, they had escaped from this region.

  It's no wonder, the strong from all sides have gathered here, and although they didn't intentionally release their auras, the spiritual beasts and wild animals still sensed the deep danger and fear, and all left this region to escape.

  Three days later, Ye Chen felt countless powerful auras that made his heart and soul tremble. Those auras came from far away in the front, Ye Chen looked up and saw that the source of the auras was behind a big mountain in the front.

  The surface of the great mountain was covered with ancient trees that reached for the sky. Leaf Chen quickly climbed up and stopped at the top, where he lay down on a large rock to look out over the landscape below. The valley beneath was enormous, almost devoid of trees, but filled with weeds and rocks.

  Surrounded by four great mountains, a basin of several tens of miles in circumference was formed. The basin seemed to be filled with a fierce and eerie atmosphere. Ye Chen, who was strange and sensitive, smelled a strong bloody smell, and even felt the sky-shaking hatred that hated heaven and earth. This kind of hatred made Ye Chen's heart beat violently, and at the same time, it also brought up a sense of desolation.

  "What's under this mountain pass that it's filled with such a miserable aura and soaring resentment..." Ye Chen muttered to himself.

  In the void below the mountain col, powerful cultivators stood in all directions, with a total of seven or eight groups of people. At a glance, it was clear that they belonged to different forces.

  Ye Chen saw the golden palace pulled by three dragon-like creatures, and also saw the carriage pulled by two ferocious beasts.

  "Ah, cold and snowy!"

  Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, he actually saw Han Qingxue. At this time she was standing beside a beautiful woman, the beautiful woman wore a pale yellow palace dress, her hair was combed into a bun, and a white jade hairpin was inserted horizontally into the bun, several shiny pearls hanging down.

  The beautiful woman's face was absolutely stunning, with an air of majesty that commanded respect without her even being angry. At this moment, she was staring intently at the center of the mountain valley, not even blinking once.

  The cold snow is still as clear and cold as ever, with the left hand grasping a sword and the right hand hanging down naturally. The white clothes flutter in the wind, the belt floats, the long hair falls on the shoulders, like a black waterfall, an ethereal beauty with a jade-like bone structure, just like a celestial maiden descended from the dust.

  On the other side, they were all women, each one as beautiful as a flower, wearing colorful clothes that fluttered in the wind. They all looked like they were in their early twenties. The first person wore a purple palace dress, with a light gauze covering her face, and had a slender and elegant figure. Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

  "Jade tinkling!"

  Although they were far apart, Ye Chen's eyesight allowed him to see the crowd clearly, and the woman in purple palace attire was undoubtedly Yu Linglong. Although Ye Chen had long known that Yu Linglong held a high position on Linglong Island, he hadn't expected her to be the leader of this trip to this place. To think that almost all the major powers had sent their respective leaders, what identity did Yu Linglong hold, was she the elder of Linglong Island?

  Ye Chen had all the forces in his sights, eight major forces, except for Linglong Island, Lingxiao Cave Heaven, and Lingshui Blessed Land. The remaining five forces were known to Ye Chen as the top five forces of Dongzhou, but what he didn't understand was why people from Lingshui Blessed Land were here? Could it be that Lingshui Blessed Land wanted to compete with these cave heaven-like top-notch forces for the treasure? This shouldn't be possible. Even the stupidest person would know that an egg couldn't beat a rock, so wouldn't Lingshui Blessed Land know this too?

  "Listening to Brother Mo, all blessed lands are attached to Dongtian and colleges. So, is Lingquan Blessed Land this time coming to help a certain Dongtian or college?" Ye Chen looked quietly at the mountain valley, with a thoughtful mind.

  Suddenly, a distortion occurred in the void between the eight major forces, and then the void was torn apart. A figure emerged from it, and Ye Chen noticed that when the figure walked out for an instant, he glanced at the position where Yu Linglong was located.

  The man was shrouded in a layer of mist from head to toe, making it impossible to see his face clearly. However, judging from his tall stature, he appeared to be a man.

  It wasn't just Ye Chen, almost everyone in the valley's void couldn't see that person's face through the fog, nor could they even make out his body.

  "Does this person know Yuling? Why do I have a familiar feeling?" Ye Chen felt a strange sensation in his heart, as if he had seen that person somewhere before.

  "Why doesn't this Taoist friend dare to show his true face?" A cold and indifferent voice came from the Heavenly Lord of Ling Xiao Cave Heaven in the palace.

  "You don't have the qualifications to know who I am." The person in the fog said indifferently, although his tone was calm and flat, but it gave people a strong and overbearing feeling.

  "Hmm!"

  Ling Xiao Dong Tian was ridiculed and underestimated by others, but he didn't get angry. At present, several major forces are gathered here. If Ling Xiao Dong Tian confronts this mysterious person first, they will be at a disadvantage. This is an unwise move. Therefore, although Ling Xiao Tian was furious, he endured it and didn't lash out.

  "How many people in the Eastern State don't know that our Lord is not qualified? You dare to speak wildly, do you think you are a member of the ancient imperial family or a person from the ancient sacred land?" Ling Xuan's Lord suppressed his anger, which was unbearable for those elders, and responded coldly.

  "That's enough!" Ling Xiantian scolded heavily, saying: "A trivial matter, why bother to calculate it?"

  The elder looked at the person in the mist with a cold gaze and snorted, saying no more.

  At this time, a gray gas slowly rose from the center of the mountain valley surrounded by the eight major forces, and gradually condensed.

  Tens of miles away, Ye Chen only felt a fierce and intense aura that covered the sky and enveloped everything, endless resentment surging up to the heavens, as if he saw a bloody seascape.

  In that gray atmosphere, scene after scene emerged, like a movie replay, it was an extremely cruel and bloody scene.

  In those scenes, a man with a body full of golden blood and energy, his black hair flying, his facial features stern and unparalleled, his aura overwhelming the world. He held a long spear in his hand, standing there, his feet trampling on mountains of corpses. Fresh blood gathered into rivers, the sea of blood surging, the waves crashing.

  On his left and right were two women, standing with their backs to him, unable to see their faces, only seeing the beautiful silhouettes of their backs. Both women wore white clothes, one of whom held a white jade guqin in her arms, silently watching the man with golden blood surging without saying a word.

  And as the countless strong men came from all directions, the strength of those people shook Ye Chen's mind and soul. The sky was filled with divine light bursting forth, each strike a manifestation of the Tao. The overwhelming power of the law submerged heaven and earth, countless laws of the Tao intertwined into a vast web of laws, covering the sky and earth, enveloping the man and two women.

  The man let out a loud roar, and the rolling sound waves shook the universe, turning the endless void into a black hole. Countless mountains and rivers cracked, and the earth sank. A voice of hatred that filled the sky came from his mouth.

  "Chaos True Devil!"

  Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, Chaotic True Devil? Hearing these few words, he had an inexplicable feeling that was hard to put into words.

  "Roar!"

  In a loud roar, the man's body burst forth with chaotic divine light, billions of strands of divine light shot out in all directions, and then those divine lights changed, turning into blood-red color in an instant. And Ye Chen saw his eyes, his eyes were extremely terrifying, they were pitch black, without any pupils.

  His body was also surging violently, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant figure that touched the sky with his head and stepped on the earth with his feet. After that, he only saw him slap out with one palm, countless magic patterns appeared, and the heaven and earth covered by his palm were reduced to nothingness in an instant. Those powerful beings who attacked him were all annihilated, not even a single ash was left.

  But there were too many people who wanted to kill him, seemingly endless, group after group of strong men rushed towards him, all kinds of divine weapons pierced through the void, cutting out endless divine light, extremely sharp, all fell on his body, golden blood splashing.

  The two women beside him had been motionless all along, silently watching everything.

  Finally, the man fell under the siege of tens of thousands of strong men, his true demon body disappeared, and he returned to his original form. The long spear in his hand suddenly split into two halves automatically, and then turned into two crescent-shaped wheel blades floating quietly beside him.

  The scene shifted, and the woman in white clothes hugged her guitar and played a tune that was like a demonic melody that cut through the soul. The sound waves transformed into massive Daoist wave marks, shattering the cultivators who were charging forward one after another into fragments.

  Ye Chen saw that the white jade guqin was covered in blood, stained with crimson blood, which was the blood of the woman in white. Then another scene appeared, two women tightly hugged the man's body, they came to a cliff edge, on the edge of the cliff stood a tall broken stone monument, on which four large characters were clearly engraved.

  "Abyss of Infinity!"

  Today is too busy, can't squeeze out time, writing at work all day... casually asking for flowers. Additionally: From now on, three more guaranteed every day, unless unavoidable circumstances. ~
