Chapter 2302 2276 Death Vortex (Eleven More)
Chapter 2302: Chapter 2276: Death Vortex (Eleven More) Chapter 2302: Chapter 2276: Death Vortex (Eleven More) Ye Chen stepped upwards steadily, and due to the Buddha Light and the Daoist Treasure Jade Lotus, he did so without incident.
Soon he entered the third layer of the palace, where he found arm after arm covering the entire room.
Each arm emanated an aura of the Death Law.
These arms grew from the walls of the palace, dancing wildly; upon seeing this scene, Ye Chen found it quite strange.
How exactly did these arms grow inside the palace?
One could imagine, so many arms, densely packed, growing on the palace walls.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart as much as possible.
With the Rotten Beast Sword in one hand and the Heavens-Splitting Divine Spear in the other, he swung both, attacking the arms around him.
Slash!
The sword light rushed forward but had no effect when it struck the arms.
Instead, the arms, like frenzied demons, charged toward Ye Chen.
As the arms surged forward, his Immortal Divine Body burst forth with dazzling light.
Ye Chen’s eyes focused intently ahead as he retreated.
While retreating, the arms opened their fingers and grabbed Ye Chen by the collar.
When grabbed, Ye Chen could feel the aura of the Death Law gradually entering his body.
He did not try to stop it; instead, he allowed the Death Law to flow within him.
He had come to the palace precisely to comprehend the Death Law.
How could he let such a good opportunity slip by?
The aura of the Death Law continued to erode his entire body.
Ye Chen’s eyes closed, as he intended to comprehend the Death Law right there.
The arms were as hard as iron, his attacks to no avail. To advance to the fourth layer, he would likely need to grasp a trace of the essence of the Death Law.
Time ticked by slowly, and after an indeterminate duration, Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Within his gaze lingered a strand of the Death Law’s aura, and the arms that were wrapped around him one by one released their hold.
Ye Chen now possessed a hint of the Death Law’s flavor, and the arms, mistaking him for one of their own, dispersed voluntarily.
Inside the third layer of the palace, the path was clear, and he ascended the stairs to the fourth layer.
Upon entering the fourth layer, the omnipresent Death Law surged toward him.
In the fourth layer, there was nothing but the Death Law.
Having taken only two steps, Ye Chen found himself unable to move; to go deeper, he would need to comprehend even more of the Death Law.
He stopped, sat cross-legged on the ground, and meditated on the Death Law.
Each time Ye Chen stood up and took a couple of steps, he would stop again, gradually sensing the Death Law bit by bit.
Around his body swirled the aura of the Death Law, which began to grow increasingly intense.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen saw he was just one step away from the staircase.
He stepped into the fifth layer and found a corpse in the center.
The corpse exuded an aura of the Death Law that Ye Chen could not compare with.
This must have been the owner of the palace and the source of the Death Mountain Range’s creation.
It was hard to imagine how powerful this person must have been in life to envelop the entire mountain range with their power.
He approached the corpse and saw small characters written on the ground.
To obtain the legacy, one must first be annihilated!
Ye Chen saw the words and chuckled bitterly; to extinguish oneself was easier said than done!
Had he not sensed a thread of the Death Law, he would’ve just smiled upon seeing the phrase and certainly would not have considered suicide.
The Death Law, if one could not experience death, how could one cultivate its deepest secrets?
Ye Chen closed his eyes tightly while endless killing intent devoured him.
Mystic Flames erupted, engulfing his entire body!
He was gambling, too—on whether he could comprehend the essence of the Death Law.
Blood flowed from his body as Ye Chen lay on the ground, letting the scarlet pool spread.
Gradually, Ye Chen felt his breath growing weaker and weaker, leaving only traces of strength.
His cheeks were devoid of any color, and as he closed his eyes, the aura of death surrounding him intensified.
Ye Chen entered a state of self-forgetfulness, oblivious to the blood still seeping from his body.
He continued to painstakingly comprehend the Death Law bit by bit.
Time passed, indiscernible, and next to Ye Chen, a corpse’s eyes glowed with a dark light.
Its gaze fixed on Ye Chen, a wisp of soul drifted from its body.
The soul watched as Ye Chen’s breath gradually weakened, its eyes shimmering with a sinister glow.
Indeed, comprehending the essence of the Death Law required experiencing the aura of death firsthand.
He had not deceived Ye Chen with these words; the only final step was Possession.
He waited for Ye Chen to truly grasp the Death Law, then planned to rush into his body and possess it.
Waiting for this day had taken a long time; finally, he encountered a young man who had grasped the Death Law.
Ye Chen’s eyes slowly opened, filled with the essence of the Death Law.
He glanced and spotted the soul hovering above the corpse.
This was indeed Ye Chen’s weakest moment, and comprehending the Death Law had nearly cost him his life.
When the drifting soul saw Ye Chen, it revealed a covetous expression before plunging into his mind.
As the soul invaded his mind, Ye Chen felt it attempting to take over his body.
“Ha ha, I, the Emperor of Netherworld Death, shall return to the world once more.”
Inside Ye Chen’s mind, the Emperor of Netherworld Death let out a wild laugh.
He had long been unable to endure the loneliness and isolation of countless years.
Right then, the Daoist Treasure Jade Lotus inside Ye Chen’s mind emitted Buddha Light, ready to struggle against the Emperor of Netherworld Death’s soul.
Even as just a remnant soul, the Emperor of Netherworld Death was not to be underestimated; he invaded Ye Chen’s body fiercely.
The attack from the Daoist Treasure Jade Lotus and the soul of the Emperor of Netherworld Death created a delicate balance, and for a short while, neither could prevail over the other.
The Emperor of Netherworld Death frowned tightly; he had not expected Ye Chen’s body to contain a Supreme Treasure of heaven and earth.
But he said nothing more; as time passed, Ye Chen’s demise was certain!
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
A solar brilliance radiated from the center of Ye Chen’s forehead!
“Get out!”
Immediately following, a domineering, ice-cold voice thundered!
The Emperor of Netherworld Death’s complexion changed instantly!
This was the Demon Emperor’s voice!
He was the main reason for the suppression in the Land of Ten Thousand Demons all those years ago!
Wasn’t he supposed to be dead?
To still be alive!
“Don’t… don’t kill me!”
The Emperor of Netherworld Death never imagined that a Star Aperture realm expert could harbor such a terrifying entity.
Endless demonic energy began devouring the Emperor of Netherworld Death’s soul, which screamed miserably within his mind, but irrespective of his pleas, Ye Chen paid him no heed.
Fragments of his soul rushed into Ye Chen’s mind, forming a cluster of memories.
Ye Chen closed his eyes, quietly contemplating.
The information about two cultivation methods—Death Devouring and Death Vortex—penetrated his mind.
It was just unfortunate that his level of cultivation was too low; he was currently unable to execute them.
