"Damnable Tai Chu..."
In a daze, within the core space of the star, a roar from an alien race creature exploded, as if traversing from ancient times, resounding beside Ye Chen's ears, deafening.
The power of the voice was so immense that even Ye Chen's Primordial Spirit trembled slightly. If it were any other Saint, their Primordial Spirit might have shattered.
Although the language was different, the fluctuations of divine sense were universal.
This was at least a Heavenly King roaring; otherwise, how could it make his Primordial Spirit tremble even across the ages?
Ye Chen was startled and quickly focused his mind to listen, but this time, he heard nothing. The roar of the alien race creature seemed as if it had never occurred.
But Ye Chen had heard it clearly and unmistakably.
Eerie! Too eerie!
Ye Chen's expression grew solemn.
Damnable Tai Chu? Tai Chu?
What did this represent? Could it refer to the Tai Chu Sacred Land, or perhaps someone named Tai Chu?
Clearly, the instantaneous extinction of life for countless alien race creatures within this honeycomb star was inextricably linked to the so-called "Tai Chu."
Ye Chen considered using Time Reversal to investigate the truth but did not act, knowing it would be impossible to succeed.
First, he could sense that within the star's core space, there existed a terrifying, vast killing intent that lingered, persisting even after countless ages, though weakened. It still affected the process of Time Reversal, requiring several times more power than usual.
Second, the time gap was too vast, likely from ancient times. Even the remains of alien race Divine Spirits, at least at the Demigod level, had completely turned to dust, which spoke volumes.
Although he was powerful enough to perform Time Reversal, there were restrictions. He could not sustain it indefinitely. To trace back to ancient times would likely drain him to death.
For these reasons, he could not clearly understand what had happened back then, or why a fearsome alien race creature had roared and cursed those words in ancient times.
But one thing was clear: in the past, it was likely that mysterious "Tai Chu" who released a killing intent that permeated the honeycomb star, extinguishing all life in an instant.
Perhaps at that time, some alien race creatures did not perish immediately and shouted that phrase, "Damnable Tai Chu...," before being blown to pieces.
The shattered remains on the ground belonged to that alien race powerhouse who roared—a Heavenly King of the alien race, unimaginably powerful, yet reduced to fragments. Even now, though the flesh and divinity had dissipated, faint, terrifying fluctuations still lingered, causing the void to tremble slightly.
How powerful was that Tai Chu who struck back then? So powerful that even an alien race Heavenly King was instantly shattered, as there were no signs of battle in the core space—clearly a one-hit kill.
It was precisely this that left Ye Chen deeply shaken.
His interest in that mysterious "Tai Chu" grew even stronger.
Unfortunately, apart from these clues, he had basically gained nothing else.
However, he finally understood why the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon knew the dao techniques of the alien race. The Dark Abyss Valley was located above this honeycomb star, long-term exposure to demonic energy had gradually allowed it to learn the alien race's laws.
But why would an alien race honeycomb star appear in the Ancient Emperor Realm, buried deep underground? If not for his deliberate actions today, it might have remained buried forever.
Ye Chen left the honeycomb star but did not shatter it. Instead, he directly stored it within his internal space, applying multiple seals.
He had a feeling that it might prove useful in the future.
Afterward, he asked Cang Dragon if there were any areas in the Huang Gu Demon Domain similar to the Dark Abyss Valley, or any demon race creatures like the Dark Abyss Demon Dragon that cultivated demonic energy. He suspected this matter was not simple.
But Cang Dragon shook its head and mentioned that the Huang Gu Demon Domain was extremely vast, spanning at least tens of millions of miles, incredibly huge. Even after cultivating for hundreds of years, it had not fully explored all regions of the demon domain, only a small portion.
Especially in the center of the demon domain, there was a magnificent ancient city ruin called the Demon God Ruins, even larger than the Dark Abyss Valley, perpetually shrouded in mist. It was also a Forbidden Zone of Life where all living beings were strictly forbidden to enter.
Cang Dragon emphasized this mysterious Demon God Ruins, showing deep reverence from the heart, stating that throughout history, none who entered this Forbidden Zone of Life ever returned.
There had been fearless supreme demon lords, comparable to human Saint Lords, who relied on their great strength to attempt entering the Demon God Ruins to uncover the truth, but they vanished completely thereafter.
Outsiders had also sent super-powerful experts across the demon domain to explore the Demon God Ruins, but without exception, they disappeared without a trace.
Throughout history, these events added to the eerie and sinister terror of the Demon God Ruins.
But there had been demon race powerhouses who witnessed fearsome creatures appearing within the Demon God Ruins on several occasions, silently slaying super-powerful experts who tried to force their way in, crushing them like rotten wood. This shocked the demon domain and deterred outsiders.
Ye Chen was astonished. He hadn't expected such a terrifying Forbidden Zone of Life to exist in the Huang Gu Demon Domain. Instantly intrigued, he ascended to the highest point in the sky, from a commanding height, activating the Eyes of the Heavens to peer into that mysterious Forbidden Zone of Life, the Demon God Ruins.
In the distance, at the farthest horizon, in the center of the Huang Gu Demon Domain, stood a magnificent, towering ancient city, immense beyond measure, dominating the entire skyline.
The ancient city was shrouded in drifting clouds and mist, dreamlike and illusory, appearing extraordinarily mysterious.
With the Eyes of the Heavens straining to see, he could make out prehistoric halls and palaces that were once grand and colossal, comparable to the Divine Cities and Heavenly Palaces of supreme sacred lands. But now, only ruins remained, long gone from their former glory.
But the next moment, Ye Chen's expression changed drastically because he clearly saw that the ruins of the ancient city suddenly seemed as if the River of Time was flowing backward. It was no longer broken beams and shattered walls, a scene of decay.
On the contrary, the ancient city was now filled with towering buildings, floating Heavenly Palaces, Divine Islands among the stars, glorious and prosperous.
Above the Divine City, streaks of immortal light danced, immortal cranes arrived from the west amidst clouds and mist, and waterfalls cascaded down thousands of feet, an unprecedented sight of majestic splendor.
In the sky above, a starry sky appeared, with stars emerging one after another, shining across the heavens, revolving around the Divine City.
All of this was so miraculous, so extraordinary.
Clearly, just moments before, it had been a dilapidated ruin, but suddenly it transformed into a majestic, glorious ancient city. Ye Chen was spellbound.
Cang Dragon, arriving by his side, could only see a hazy, indistinct scene due to the great distance, unable to see clearly. But it also witnessed a glimpse, utterly shocked.
Had the Demon God Ruins revived?
But the next moment, everything vanished, ceasing to exist. From the deepest part of the Demon God Ruins, a pair of sinister eyes shot forth, causing heaven and earth to crumble!
