Divine Heart, Heart of the Origin Master, forms within Ye Chen!
The Origin Master Divine Blood, with each beat of the Divine Heart, begins to enhance Ye Chen’s entire life level.
This enhancement is not as direct as Star Lord Ning Luo mastering a terrifying swordsmanship, nor as simple as Chining Xiaoxiao mastering a defensive Divine Method.
This enhancement does not bring an immediate leap in combat power, but it incessantly elevates Ye Chen’s life limit!
Life limit includes talent, comprehension, and perception!
Ye Chen has already enhanced his life level countless times through cultivating the Primordial Star Scripture and countless cultivation techniques.
It is precisely because of these life-level enhancements that Ye Chen’s talent and comprehension have become increasingly high, making his cultivation breakthroughs easier and his achievements greater.
Now, with the life-level enhancement of the Heart of the Origin Master, one of the top ten Star Lords in the history of the Nine Bends Demon Realm, Ye Chen’s entire life level will experience an endless leap once again!
This benefit is something no amount of swordsmanship or defensive Divine Methods can exchange for!
This is the most fundamental and purest extreme leap!
Ye Chen sensed the beating of the Divine Heart, feeling slight changes within himself; whether his Divine Body or Divine Soul, there was a sense of ultimate sublimation.
If, in the past, Ye Chen only had a certain degree of confidence in breaking through to the Star Lord Realm,
now, with the Heart of the Origin Master, Ye Chen has absolute confidence in breaking through to the Star Lord Realm!
When the Divine Heart finally settled, Ye Chen flew out from the Time Lotus, and his cultivation on the Treasure Light Dais also came to an end.
As Ye Chen’s cultivation concluded, the masses beneath his Treasure Light Dais, including Gu Feng, Gu Yanyan, and the four Peak Lords, also emerged from their cultivation state.
When they opened their eyes, they all looked up to the Treasure Light Dais above them, gazing at Ye Chen who had just awoken from his cultivation state.
"Ye Chen, we owe it all to you this time!"
"Ye Chen, my friend!"
These followers of Ye Chen, numerous voices expressing gratitude, surrounded him.
Ye Chen, seeing their delighted faces, also smiled: "We’ve all gained something this time, so it’s a shared joy."
Though these followers gained the mysterious breathing technique rewards through Ye Chen, their cultivation improvements generated special energy, which greatly increased the flow of Ye Chen’s Time Lotus, benefitting his cultivation immensely. Ye Chen was equally grateful to them.
As the host and followers exchanged pleasantries at Ye Chen’s Treasure Light Dais, others at the different Treasure Light Dai were restless.
They had been waiting for Ye Chen for a long time.
The closest to Ye Chen, Chining Xiaoxiao, couldn’t help but ask Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, what reward did you get, to have cultivated for so long?"
Ye Chen glanced at Chining Xiaoxiao and replied, "The reward is useless for you, it contains special materials only I can cultivate with, it’s better if I don’t tell you, lest you envy me too much."
Hearing Ye Chen teasing, Chining Xiaoxiao could only hold in her frustration.
"Hmph, the Nine Bends Demon Realm has nine domains, Ye Chen, I will definitely get better rewards than you later. By then, don’t beg to ask me!"
As many were watching Ye Chen and Chining Xiaoxiao’s conversation, suddenly, in the sky above the first Demon Domain, a massive golden circle appeared.
That emotionless voice sounded again in this Demon Domain: "The exploration of the first Demon Domain has ended."
"Now, those who wish to venture into the second Demon Domain can fly directly into the circle above to enter the next domain!"
"I must remind you, the following Demon Domains will become increasingly dangerous. If you are not confident to continue venturing, stay where you are, after seven days, those remaining will be automatically transported out of the Nine Bends Demon Realm!"
After the voice finished speaking, it vanished.
Leaving over four billion people on the ground looking at each other!
Everyone raised their heads to look at the massive golden circle in the sky above the first Demon Domain.
"Entering here will transport us to the second Demon Domain?"
Many were eager to try.
After all, although the Primordial Spirit Slash earlier killed a batch of people upon entering the Nine Bends Demon Realm, everyone who entered the first Demon Domain made significant gains, with no one dying.
And those daring to venture into the Nine Bends Demon Realm would not be satisfied with the gains from just the first Demon Domain; they are eager to see what lies ahead!
Everyone chose to continue exploring!
The five Star Lords in the void moved first.
The top-ranked Star Lord Fang Chong, having lost to several young talents in the first Demon Domain talent ranking, felt disheartened, and certainly did not wish to stay in the first Demon Domain for long. Without considering others, he swiftly moved into the massive golden circle high above.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The other Star Lords moved instantly, flying into the golden circle.
Before leaving, Star Lord Ning Luo gave Ye Chen a few deliberate glances.
When the five Star Lords took action, others followed in succession. The five mysterious elders led by Elder Dugu, a large group of disciples led by the leaders of the Three Palaces and Four Islands, and the crowd from the Ancient Peace Pavilion, including Gu Feng and Gu Yanyan, the disciples led by the four Peak Lords, and countless other forces, all surged into the golden light circle encompassing tens of thousands of feet.
Ye Chen was also among the crowd.
Of course, this time, not only was Ye Chen surrounded by the four Peak Lords and their disciples, but he was practically enveloped by all the followers under the Treasure Light Dais, flying into the golden light circle.
In the eyes of these people, Ye Chen was no longer just an extraordinary young man; he was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest figures of the Three Palaces and Four Islands, and even in some aspects, someone who could rival the five Star Lords!
No one knew what would happen in the Demon Domain ahead, so of course, they chose to venture with Ye Chen!
The Nine Bends Demon Realm is composed of nine special spaces.
After entering the first Demon Domain, Ye Chen had already sensed the Space Star Aperture here and condensed the Origin Star Aperture within himself, giving him a clearer understanding of the Demon Domain space than others.
This is definitely not just a simple sea domain; there are definitely great secrets hidden within!
The Nine Bends Demon Realm, with its nine domains, must have been independently crafted as special spaces, each uniquely different!
As Ye Chen flew into the golden light circle, the next moment, the environment before his eyes suddenly changed.
The first Demon Domain he saw was a vast expanse of infinite flat land.
The next moment, as Ye Chen entered the second Demon Domain, he discovered they were all standing before a vast chaos mist.
The scene before them was completely shrouded in the chaos mist, making it impossible to see what lay within!
The misty realm was vast and boundless. Ye Chen surveyed the void, finding it impossible to probe inside the mist, and outside the mist was a desolate sight.
At this moment, the mist was sealed and hadn’t opened, so everyone had to wait outside.
The five Star Lords, who were the first to enter the second Demon Domain, also surveyed the area, finding that aside from the mist, there wasn’t anything special about the other territories. Likely, the secrets of the second Demon Domain lay within this mist.
Thus, the five Star Lords could only stand outside the mist, waiting for the seal to be lifted.
As over four hundred million cultivators arrived in the second Demon Domain, the voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation resounded in this domain as well.
"The second Demon Domain is divided into two major regions: Valley of Death and Heavenly Treasure Mountain."
"This is a perilous Demon Domain, unlike the reward-giving first Demon Domain."
"Among you, a great many will likely perish in this second Demon Domain!"
The words from that emotionless voice startled countless people.
A perilous Demon Domain?
Will half of the people die?!
Among the over four hundred million people, those with weaker strength regretted deeply. They discovered from the historical accounts of the Nine Bends Demon Realm that previous domains did not have such a high mortality rate, which is why they dared to continue. They originally intended to withdraw later.
Who knew that now, in the second Demon Domain, half the people might die, causing them immense fear?
"Now, there’s no turning back." The voice, as if knowing the crowd’s thoughts, continued without emotional fluctuation, "Your only choice is to keep pressing forward."
"Once the mist seal is lifted, it will cover the entire second Demon Domain, and you will all enter the Death Valley within the mist."
"In the Death Valley, if you lack strength, run wholeheartedly towards Heavenly Treasure Mountain. Heavenly Treasure Mountain is a safe haven; once you enter, the threat of death is gone."
"Of course, along the way, you will surely encounter countless deadly situations; whether you can safely reach Heavenly Treasure Mountain will depend on your strength."
"I remind you, once you enter the mist, each of you will have to go alone, unable to rely on others for help, so don’t even think about getting assistance from others."
The words from the emotionless voice left many in despair.
Having to venture alone, unable to rely on others?
This is truly a matter of life and death!
Even Gu Feng was worriedly looking at his granddaughter, Gu Yanyan.
If he had known the second Demon Domain was this dangerous, he certainly wouldn’t have let Gu Yanyan enter.
Who knew danger would come so fast.
Gu Yanyan could only rely on herself to tread carefully, hoping the dangers she faced in the Valley of Death would be lesser.
The voice ignored the worries of countless people and continued, "Of course, venturing through the second Demon Domain won’t just involve fleeing through the Valley of Death."
"In the Valley of Death, every kind of killer life form holds a special item called a Demon Spirit Soul. These killer life forms will harvest your lives, but you can also choose to kill them and harvest their Demon Spirit Souls."
"The more Demon Spirit Souls you harvest, the better treasures you’ll be able to exchange for when you reach Heavenly Treasure Mountain."
"There are countless treasures in Heavenly Treasure Mountain, each with a corresponding number of Demon Spirit Souls required for exchange. If the number of Demon Spirit Souls you harvest is plentiful, you might even exchange for the first treasure of Heavenly Treasure Mountain!"
"These are the rules of the second Demon Domain: grand escape from the Valley of Death, grand harvest of Demon Spirit Souls, grand exchange in Heavenly Treasure Mountain!"
"Whether you survive or exchange for treasures in Heavenly Treasure Mountain will depend on your luck and prowess!"
"Now, the mist seal is lifted; the Valley of Death officially begins!"
While countless people were still caught off guard, the mist before everyone’s eyes suddenly dispersed, and Ye Chen, Chining Xiaoxiao, the five Star Lords, everyone from the Three Palaces and Four Islands, Gu Feng, Gu Yanyan, and all from the Ancient Peace Pavilion, the four Peak Lords and their disciples, and all others from various forces, over four hundred million people in total, were all engulfed in the mist!
