Wu Ji Nong and the thoughts of that two-star Sovereign were of no concern to Ye Chen.
For Ye Chen, the character of those two wasn’t worth engaging with, and there was no need to pay them any mind.
With that time, it would be better to explore the Thirteenth Chaos Zone a bit more!
Ye Chen continued to move forward.
The battle with the Ghost Sha Ming Bee made Ye Chen understand his own combat power more clearly. Coupled with the Cosmic Emperor level life-saving scroll he carried, Ye Chen felt even more confident in venturing into the Thirteenth Chaos Zone.
After walking for a while longer in the Ghost Mist, Ye Chen suddenly stopped again.
This time, Ye Chen directly sensed an inexplicable Treasure aura.
It seemed that there was an incredible Treasure nearby.
This Treasure aura was much richer than the Black Extreme Ghost Flower Ye Chen had obtained earlier.
Judging from the aura alone, it was definitely a Treasure countless times more valuable than the Black Extreme Ghost Flower!
This caused Ye Chen’s mind and spirit to stir.
However, at the moment he sensed the Treasure aura, it suddenly disappeared, as if its earlier appearance was just a coincidence.
This oddity made the Treasure seem even more extraordinary.
After sensing the appearance and disappearance of the Treasure aura, Ye Chen paused in place, pondered for a moment, and then sat down cross-legged, beginning to use the cultivation method from the Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture to sense the "Space Star Aperture" of this area.
The Tai Yu Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture is an immensely powerful Divine Art.
Even though the Thirteenth Chaos Zone is extraordinarily complex, in the outermost Chaos Ghost Mist Realm, where innumerable Divine Master Overlords cannot probe too far with their Divine Sense, limited to a range of at most a few dozen feet.
But when Ye Chen operated the Tai Yu Chapter, he could sense the Chaos Ghost Mist Realm with complete clarity.
Though it’s unclear whether it’s a special restriction of the Thirteenth Chaos Zone, he could only sense the individual Chaos Ghost Mist Realm Space Star Aperture. But Ye Chen was not disheartened in the slightest.
Being able to sense the Space Star Aperture of the Chaos Ghost Mist Realm was good enough!
This could definitely help him better understand the specific circumstances of this place.
Earlier, Ye Chen was worried that sitting down to cultivate might expose him to danger, but now, after clearly sensing the presence of a great Treasure here, he couldn’t help but first comprehend the Space Star Aperture of this place, improving his strength while thoroughly exploring the Treasure!
Ye Chen speculated further.
Since the Space Star Aperture of the Chaos Ghost Mist Realm is singular, it’s possible that he could sense more than one "Space Star Aperture" in the Thirteenth Chaos Zone.
This was certainly good news for Ye Chen.
This meant Ye Chen could imprint several more "Origin Star Apertures" within himself!
Sitting cross-legged, Ye Chen operated his Divine Power to defend himself while carefully sensing the Space Star Aperture here, imprinting a new Origin Star Aperture.
This cultivation and sensing continued for several hours.
During this time, it’s uncertain whether it was because Ye Chen had annihilated a large group of Ghost Sha Ming Bees that intimidated many demons here, or if there were no other demons in this area, but surprisingly, not a single demon came to attack Ye Chen.
Several hours later, Ye Chen successfully completed sensing the Space Star Aperture of the Chaos Ghost Mist Realm, successfully adding another Origin Star Aperture within himself.
Although this newly added Origin Star Aperture didn’t significantly enhance the combat power of his Tai Yu Chapter, a satisfied smile appeared on Ye Chen’s face.
Because, after sensing the Space Star Aperture of this place, Ye Chen’s ability to explore this area seemed to increase tenfold, and this time, he finally successfully sensed the strong Treasure aura that had appeared and disappeared earlier!
"In a pit more than a hundred feet ahead!"
"It turns out the Treasure aura was obscured by a special formation, only revealing itself at particular times."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and looked directly in the direction to the left front.
Following that, Ye Chen’s figure moved instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived beside a pit.
As he got closer, Ye Chen could more clearly see the entirety of the pit.
This was a pit with a radius of several hundred feet, shrouded in dense black mist, and concealed by a special obscuring formation.
If one were too far away or unable to breach the obscuring formation, it would be impossible to discover the pit.
Perhaps only a powerful existence like a Master could see the true situation of the area up close.
But what kind of person was Ye Chen?
Even though he wasn’t a powerful Master.
Just by comprehending the Space Star Aperture here, he completely discovered the pit.
Moreover, with Ye Chen’s training in formations, if he really approached this area, even without relying on the understanding of the Space Star Aperture, he could discover the peculiarity of this place.
Standing outside the pit.
After examining the obscuring formation for more than a dozen breaths, Ye Chen directly utilized his Divine Power to completely seal this area, preventing the Treasure aura from leaking and being discovered by others.
Ye Chen’s sealing technique was formed by condensing his countless insights into formations along with the driving force of his strong Divine Power.
Even the most powerful Master couldn’t sense Ye Chen’s sealing concealment without being extremely close to this place.
Having arranged everything, Ye Chen pointed fiercely at the obscuring formation with his finger.
An unparalleled sword light, like a divine lightning, blasted forward.
After this strike ended, Ye Chen’s hands kept moving, continuously striking at over a dozen points of this formation.
With a crackling sound,
The sound of the formation breaking was clearly heard.
Ye Chen completely broke the array’s formation eye here.
When the formation was broken, the concealing grand formation dispersed, and the specifics of the pit were finally clear in Ye Chen’s eyes.
However, before Ye Chen could examine what was inside, divine light suddenly surged from his body.
Because the moment he broke the formation, a killing force directly blasted towards him from within the pit.
In almost an instant, dozens of black divine lights blasted in front of Ye Chen.
The killing force of this black divine light would likely be difficult for even a low-level Divine Master to handle.
But Ye Chen’s expression remained unchanged.
A sudden burst of golden flame erupted from Ye Chen’s hand, instantly transforming into a golden firebird.
The golden firebird circled around Ye Chen at an inconceivable speed, burning the dozens of black divine lights to nothing!
Then, the golden firebird suddenly expanded, transforming into an enormous fiery divine bird a hundred feet wide, illuminating the entire pit brilliantly.
This golden firebird was, of course, the increasingly powerful Heavenly Forbidden Flame that Ye Chen could control after advancing to the Heavenly Divine Venerable.
Moreover, it contained the killing power of Ye Chen’s Starry Sky Earth Xuan and Heavenly Sword Divine Art!
If it were just the Heavenly Forbidden Flame, it might not have been so easy to burn away the black divine light.
But with the fourfold combat power amplification of Starry Sky Earth Xuan and the killing force of the Heavenly Sword Divine Art, the black divine light was no match for the Heavenly Forbidden Flame.
Not only was the black divine light completely burned away, but even the source of the black divine light was clearly revealed before Ye Chen.
These were dozens of black mysterious bats, which Ye Chen had never seen or heard of before, not even mentioned on the maps. It seemed to be a special demon that suddenly appeared in the Chaos Ghost Mist.
Seeing these strange demons, Ye Chen felt that this place had likely gone unnoticed by those Cosmic Emperors.
At this moment, the dozens of black mysterious bats were suspended in the void, seemingly not expecting Ye Chen to break their attack so easily.
Time seemed to stop for a moment.
The next moment, these dozens of black mysterious bats attacked Ye Chen once again.
This time, instead of spewing black divine light to attack Ye Chen, their entire bodies shot towards Ye Chen like black divine lightning!
Sensing the killing force of these black mysterious bats, Ye Chen instantly clenched his fist.
Suddenly, two strange divine lights, one golden and one red, frantically appeared on Ye Chen’s body.
Then, Ye Chen punched fiercely towards the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground was directly torn apart, and dreadful demon entities resembling lion-bear creatures surged out, roaring towards the dozens of black mysterious bats.
The terrifying lion-bear demon entities stirred up by the strange golden and red divine lights were clearly a hidden secret technique of the "God-devouring Transformation" of the top-ranked demon "God-devouring Great Demon" in the Eastern Edge of the Cosmic Sea that Ye Chen cultivated!
The God-devouring Great Demon is the top fierce demon in the Eastern Edge of the Cosmic Sea.
Its adult form fears not even the Cosmic Emperor!
Even though Ye Chen had not yet cultivated the God-devouring Transformation secret technique to its strongest, with the fourfold combat power amplification of Starry Sky Earth Xuan, this secret technique was more than enough to deal with these black mysterious bats!
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
The God-devouring Transformation technique-driven shadows of the God-devouring Great Demon roared wildly, with immense killing force, leaping towards the black mysterious bats, each shadow seizing one black mysterious bat.
A shocking scene occurred.
These black mysterious bats, which could kill low-level Divine Masters, were no match for the God-devouring Great Demon shadows.
The lion-bear demon entities of the God-devouring Great Demon shadows tore the black mysterious bats into shreds with a mighty swipe.
As they shredded these black mysterious bats, golden and red flames frantically burned on the hands of the God-devouring Great Demon shadows, thoroughly incinerating the black mysterious bats, leaving not a trace of ash!
After dealing with these suddenly attacking black mysterious bats, Ye Chen’s gaze returned to the pit.
This time, Ye Chen directly saw a humanoid skeleton lying on the ground in the pit.
The main body of this humanoid skeleton had clearly been dead for a long time, leaving only the skeletal frame here.
Moreover, the skeleton bones of its hand, head, and abdomen were a terrifying black, suggesting this person had died from poisoning.
At this moment, in the hand of the deceased skeleton, a peculiar blazing red plant was being held.
An immensely rich treasure aura was emanating from that blazing red plant!
It was the very aura of the great treasure that Ye Chen had sensed earlier!
