From the outside of the third layer of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, you can already feel the immense size of the giant tree.
But when you truly fly into the Divine Light of the giant tree, you finally see through the mist and can truly see the full appearance of the giant tree.
This giant tree is even larger and more mysterious than imagined!
From the outside, it looks at most a few hundred zhang high, but once inside its space, this giant tree is a full ten thousand zhang tall, like a Giant Mountain!
It’s simply towering to the sky and anchoring the earth!
At the lowest part of the giant tree, there is a mysterious entrance.
This is also the true entrance to this giant tree.
When Ye Chen and Ning Xiaoxiao followed others and flew into the entrance of the giant tree, the sight before them left them stunned.
This giant tree was not naturally born, but crafted by someone, and inside the entrance, there is an enormous hall!
At this moment, Hua Tianjue and the others who had flown in first had already settled in the hall.
When Ye Chen and Ning Xiaoxiao also flew into the hall, along with a few others who entered afterward, all fifteen who remained alive had entered the hall inside the giant tree.
At this time, everyone gathered around Hua Tianjue.
And Hua Tianjue stood against one wall of the hall, reading the words on the wall.
These inscriptions were the instructions for the challenges of this giant tree hall!
Ye Chen also glanced at the words on the wall.
Upon reading them through, Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
"This giant tree is actually a treasure mine!"
According to the inscriptions on the wall, within this giant tree lies countless treasures. Unlike the Myriad Treasures Grotto of the First Layer of Heaven with numerous pathways, where everyone essentially traversed different paths.
Nor like the Heavenly Chaos Great Marsh of the Second Layer of Heaven, where everyone adventures alone and faces crises independently.
In this giant tree, everyone can only proceed on the same path!
Everyone must face the dangers inside the third layer of heaven together, advancing collectively!
The words on the wall also explained that besides the hall everyone was currently in, there were three other treasure caves, each guarded by a demon, and one must overcome the demon to enter the treasure caves for treasures.
Each treasure cave has a specified number of treasures that each person can choose.
In the first treasure cave, everyone can choose three treasures.
In the second treasure cave, everyone can choose two treasures.
In the third treasure cave, everyone can choose one treasure.
Upon completing the challenges of all three treasure caves inside the giant tree, one can pass through the last ancient teleportation formation to enter the fourth layer of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall.
After reading the inscriptions on the wall, not only was Ye Chen overjoyed, but all the other people also had smiles of delight on their faces.
Three treasure caves!
A total opportunity to select six treasures!
Do you know, this is in the space of the third layer of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, a place more precious than the First Layer of Heaven and the Second Layer of Heaven.
The treasures here must be better than most of those in the First and Second Layers of Heaven!
If they can pass through the demons guarding all three treasure caves and seize six treasures, it would unquestionably be a massive harvest.
Ye Chen and the others also knew that the further they went in the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, the greater the danger, and later they might not be able to proceed far and could be stopped very quickly.
Of course, now it was best to get as many treasures as possible!
At this moment, Ye Chen was filled with anticipation.
In the Myriad Treasures Grotto of the First Layer of Heaven, Ye Chen comprehended the method of the spatial rift, also gained several unique treasures from within the grotto, and most importantly, he entered the Divine Mountain that can elevate his realm, advancing from Heavenly Divine Venerable to Immortal Divine Venerable!
In the Heavenly Chaos Great Marsh of the Second Layer of Heaven, Ye Chen traversed many death spaces and mastered the "Change of Devouring Fire," "Wind Swallowing Transformation," and "Water Absorption Transformation," allowing him to advance further in the cultivation of the three divine objects of fire, water, and wind!
Now, in the Chaos Ancient Tree of the third layer, who knows what he might obtain!
Ye Chen anticipated, as did Ning Xiaoxiao, who had gathered much information about the Chaos Ancient Tree, and everyone else was expectant.
At this moment, Hua Tianjue, the leader, seeing that everyone had finished reading the words on the wall, spoke up, "Let’s go, we will challenge the first treasure cave, and face the first guarding demon there!"
With that, he took the lead, heading into the passageway deep within the hall.
Everyone followed behind Hua Tianjue, moving forward.
After advancing about several hundred zhang further.
Everyone felt an incredibly intense wave of heat coming ahead.
This heat wave was terrifying; the remaining two Dominion Realm geniuses and Ning Xiaoxiao struggled to bear it and quickly activated their defensive treasures to resist the heat wave.
Among the geniuses below the Divine Master Realm, only Ye Chen and Yu Shendu could maintain their calm expressions.
Yu Shendu was recognized as the foremost talent below the Divine Master Realm, and it wasn’t surprising that he withstood this terrifying heat wave.
That Ye Chen, at the Immortal Divine Venerable Realm, could also withstand it, shocked many people greatly.
Reflecting on how Ye Chen previously found the Divine Mountain that could enhance one’s realm in the First Layer of Heaven, and during the contention for entry into the Chaotic Heavenly Hall outside, Ye Chen held dominion-level divine treasure in his hand.
In an instant, everyone understood that this Ye Chen before them was definitely not as simple as he appeared to be, an Immortal Divine Venerable genius!
His true strength might be no weaker than Yu Shendu!
This made the Divine Master Overlords in the scene pay even more attention to Ye Chen!
Of course, the heat wave still affected Ning Xiaoxiao and other Divine Venerables, yet it had little impact on the Divine Master Overlords. After Ning Xiaoxiao and others activated their defensive treasures, the team did not pause as they continued moving forward.
The farther forward they traveled, the more terrifying the heat wave became.
After advancing over a hundred zhang, even Yu Shendu could no longer withstand it and also activated his defensive treasure to block the heat wave.
At this moment, Ye Chen still had not activated any treasure to block it!
This made Yu Shendu’s heart suddenly shrink.
"Could it be that Ye Chen’s defensive ability is stronger than mine?" Yu Shendu looked at Ye Chen in disbelief.
Seeing Yu Shendu’s gaze, Ye Chen’s Mind and Spirit moved, but he smiled and said to the astonished crowd looking at him, "Earlier, in the Realm of the Second Heaven, I obtained a treasure that can automatically block the heat wave, so I don’t need to deliberately activate it to defend."
As he spoke, Ye Chen flipped his palm, and an ice-crystal-colored orb appeared in his hand.
As soon as the ice-crystal-colored orb appeared, Ning Xiaoxiao beside Ye Chen felt an extremely chilly sensation spreading in her direction, shrinking back the heat wave assaulting her.
Evidently, the ice-crystal orb in Ye Chen’s hand is a remarkable cold divine object!
Upon hearing that Ye Chen was also using a treasure to block the heat wave, everyone felt slightly relieved.
If Ye Chen could walk this far without using any treasure, surpassing Yu Shendu, that would be too terrifying.
After all, Yu Shendu is a Five-Star Sovereign, and Ye Chen is merely an Immortal Divine Venerable!
What these people didn’t know was, that the ice-crystal orb in Ye Chen’s hand was not obtained from the Realm of the Second Heaven, nor was it something Ye Chen used for automatically blocking the heat wave all along.
This treasure was actually one of the treasures left behind by the Cosmic Emperor in the Refining God Chart.
Ye Chen noticed several attentions focused on him, so he intentionally took it out to avoid drawing too much attention to himself.
In fact, the heat wave in front of him posed no threat to Ye Chen even without the ice-crystal orb!
Indeed, Ye Chen even felt that as the heat wave struck him, it was absorbed into his body, transforming into divine power that gradually enhanced his divine power cultivation.
The cause of all this was precisely the result brought about by the mystical insight Ye Chen comprehended earlier in the Realm of the Second Heaven!
That mystical insight was, in fact, — the Change of Devouring Fire!
"The ’Change of Devouring Fire’ mystical insight has increased my capability to absorb divine fire-related things, could this heat wave be transformed from divine fire?"
"Could the guardian demon in front be related to divine fire?"
Ye Chen pondered as he moved forward.
After advancing several hundred more zhang, Ye Chen and the others finally arrived outside the first treasure cave and saw the guardian demon outside this first treasure cave!
It was a gigantic Fire Serpent!
This Fire Serpent was probably a thousand zhang long, coiling its body upright ahead, like a volcano.
Its entire body was fiery red, and atop its head, like a Divine Dragon, grew two fiery divine horns. Its scales, each several zhang large, glistened with peculiar divine light like fire crystals.
Upon seeing this Fire Serpent, everyone’s tensed hearts suddenly relaxed.
Even though the Fire Serpent appeared incredibly terrifying and the heat waves it emanated previously had been almost unbearable for many talents below the Divine Master realm, upon truly seeing its form and sensing its aura, everyone finally understood its realm.
This was a Fire Serpent at the Divine Master Peak!
It was still manageable!
Initially, everyone was worried the guardian demon would be too formidable; now, there was absolutely no need for concern.
As long as the Fire Serpent was killed, they could enter the first treasure cave to select treasure!
Thinking of this, Hua Tianjue couldn’t help but already feel tempted to take action.
However, at this moment, the Overlord Hongjue from Linglong Divine Land stopped Hua Tianjue and spoke up, "Hua, this demon is indeed easy to handle, but before dealing with it, should we discuss the order of selecting treasures upon entering the cave afterwards?"
"After all, those who select treasures first will have a greater chance of getting good treasures."
Overlord Hongjue’s words prompted everyone else to look at Hua Tianjue.
Indeed, although they still didn’t know how the treasures inside the cave were stored or retrieved, those who choose first surely have the greatest advantage.
Determining the selection order is crucial.
Upon hearing Overlord Hongjue’s question and seeing the crowd’s gaze, Hua Tianjue responded unceremoniously, "Of course, based on strength priority!"
"Whoever has the strongest strength goes first to select!"
"If anyone is dissatisfied, feel free to challenge those at the front, and no one else will interfere. How about it?"
Hua Tianjue’s words made the Divine Master and talents below the Divine Master realm feel a shiver in their hearts.
Evidently, according to this order, the Overlords present would choose first, and they could only line up afterward.
Nevertheless, after thinking it over, selecting treasures in this order seemed most appropriate.
Seeing everyone silently agree, Hua Tianjue laughed heartily and directly said, "As for this Divine Master Peak Little Demon, you don’t need to make a move; I’ll eliminate it directly!"
