In a desolate starry void tens of millions of li away from the Mysterious Continent, space was torn open. A blazing beam of light shot into the heavens, carrying a figure and two small beasts.
It was precisely Ye Chen, along with Yiyi and the Golden Little Divine Dragon.
However, they did not linger at all. Instead, they immediately activated the Void God Platform once more, tearing through the void again and plunging into it, continuously shuttling through space.
After a full dozen or so shuttles, only when the Void God Platform was covered in countless cracks did Ye Chen finally stop.
At this point, they were an unimaginable distance from the Mysterious Continent, likely at least hundreds of millions of li away—an utterly staggering length.
Yet, Ye Chen did not come to a complete halt, continuing to shuttle repeatedly because the feeling that place gave him was far too terrifying, bordering on a lethal crisis. He had even prepared to summon the divine stone coffin of the Sovereign of Formlessness.
He believed that even if the existence on the Mysterious Continent was fearsome, he had nothing to fear. The Sovereign of Formlessness reigned supreme across ancient and modern times; his remains could absolutely awe all beings.
But he was reluctant to summon it lightly, as it required offering his Saint Body's essence blood, which would cause him significant harm.
Only after a long time had passed, when he could no longer sense the aura of the Mysterious Continent at all, did Ye Chen finally stop.
The danger just now had been too great, ranking among the greatest crises Ye Chen had ever encountered in his life, all because the supreme existence within the Mysterious Continent was too terrifying. He suspected it was at least a being of the Ancient Sovereign level, far beyond his ability to contend with.
Here in this star domain, although Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was not lacking, most of it was in a relatively violent state, difficult to absorb.
But Ye Chen devoured heaven and earth. The brief confrontation earlier had been an immense drain for him, and he urgently needed to replenish himself.
He sat cross-legged in the starry void. A massive whirlwind appeared in space, formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. The spiritual energy from the six directions and eight wildernesses was drawn by Ye Chen, coalescing into a giant vortex swirling above the crown of his head.
Above Ye Chen's head, a dazzling, resplendent glazed golden flame manifested. Vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy poured down, then, after being refined and purified by the glazed golden flames, transformed into pure spiritual energy that flowed into Ye Chen's body, continuously replenishing his losses.
Roar—
Suddenly, terrifying ferocious beasts charged out. Only then did Ye Chen jolt awake—this was still the Forbidden Land of Peril, and they were constantly encountering many fearsome beasts.
Although the vast majority were below the Heavenly King realm, there were also some terrifying living beings fully capable of rivaling that level.
Ye Chen was plunged into a fearsome, intense battle once more, engaging in a prolonged, sky-shaking conflict. Battle flames raged as one terrifying ferocious beast after another appeared, charging at Ye Chen in endless waves.
Roar—
On Ye Chen's left shoulder, the Golden Little Divine Dragon also took action. With a mighty roar, the space before it completely collapsed.
Although it appeared chubby, pink, and adorable, its roar was a true dragon's cry, accompanied by the genuine divine might of the dragon race. This race, standing at the pinnacle of all living beings in the myriad realms, held an almost terrifying deterrent power over nearly any creature, ferocious beasts being no exception.
On his other shoulder, Yiyi also acted, spewing out one seven-colored mystical bubble after another. They seemed utterly devoid of offensive power, yet it was precisely these seven-colored mystical bubbles that enveloped one fearsome beast after another, directly sealing them.
It was a most peculiar attack. Though seemingly harmless, it could restrain the vast majority of ferocious beasts.
However, Yiyi could not spew out too many seven-colored bubbles; soon, it ran out. From its words, Ye Chen learned it consumed a significant amount of divine power, but basically, anything below the Heavenly King level would find it impossible to break free.
Although it was difficult to seal Heavenly King-level beasts, it was sufficient for Ye Chen, greatly reducing the pressure on him.
Moreover, he did not even summon his Supreme One's Dao Body. He had the Golden Little Divine Dragon and Yiyi stand down, choosing to fight alone, allowing himself to undergo a baptism of blood and fire.
Boom—
Within this Forbidden Land of Peril, Ye Chen encountered truly fearsome, intense battles. It lived up to its name as a forbidden land, truly harboring the crises of a perilous zone.
For within this star domain, not only did numerous terrifying ferocious beasts exist, but many forbidden lands were also present.
In the starry expanse, often within seemingly ordinary areas, immeasurable killing intent lay hidden. Some contained the primal killing intent from the dawn of creation; others were secret realm forbidden lands. Once mistakenly entered, one would become trapped within, difficult to escape.
Ye Chen was, in a way, quite extraordinary. He dominated the Heavenly King realm, yet even he suffered various attacks in this region.
He even discovered an extremely terrifying existence that sensed his aura, charged out, and engaged him in a horrifying battle. They fought until heaven and earth shattered, traversing vast stretches of starry space, causing stars to explode and illuminating this dim star domain with their radiance.
Naturally, Ye Chen was fearless, yet he dared not underestimate the dangers of the border wastelands of the universe. To think such terrifying beasts existed here—no wonder corresponding ancient lands of life were scarce. How could anything endure with such peril?
In truth, Ye Chen was quite astonished. Why did such a crisis-filled place, riddled with killing traps, exist in the border wastelands of the universe? Yet within the myriad realms, it was impossible not to have heard of such a forbidden land. It should have been listed as a restricted zone and widely known. However, none of this had truly come to pass.
In the end, Ye Chen still fought his way through layers of killing intent, leaving this mysterious star domain. At its edge, he discovered a massive, dilapidated stone stele standing there, inscribed with several large characters in a vivid red color: Forbidden Land of Peril!
It seemed as if they were written in blood.
Ye Chen glanced at it a few times, silently committing it to memory.
Just as he was about to leave, right before his eyes, a peculiar continent suddenly descended from the sky. However, it was not the previous Mysterious Continent, yet it was similarly vast, standing tall in the starry void.
To Ye Chen's astonishment, he discovered this was an ancient continent brimming with vitality: azure skies, a vast blue ocean, endless wild forests, everywhere imbued with a unique, primitive aura, very ancient.
He saw, upon this ancient continent, fearsome six-armed Crocodile Dragons running, bodies clad in purple-gold scales, exuding a bloody aura, having devoured who knew how many living beings.
There were also lightning phoenix birds resembling Phoenixes soaring high, circling the skies, their wings as brilliantly colored as blood, diving down to seize a massive black-scaled python.
That python even showed signs of transforming into a flood dragon—truly extraordinary.
In the ocean, a whale covered in silver scales leaped into the air. Yet, the moment it leaped, it grew a pair of massive wings, flapped them, and soared into the sky, transforming into a divine bird—a supreme living being possessing the bloodline of the Kunpeng.
It could be said this was a scene from a prehistoric era. Many vanished primordial exotic beasts had reappeared in the mortal world. Ye Chen felt as if he had traversed the River of Time, arriving in the Mythical Era, witnessing the emergence of various exotic beasts and divine birds upon this ancient continent. He even saw some pure-blooded divine beasts, displaying extraordinary signs, utterly terrifying.
From an ancient stele outside the continent, Ye Chen discovered ancient script—
Fifth!
