Chapter 2428 2402 The Behemoth in the Depths
Chapter 2428: Chapter 2402: The Behemoth in the Depths! (Thirteenth Update) Chapter 2428: Chapter 2402: The Behemoth in the Depths! (Thirteenth Update) As he swung the Rotten Beast Sword amidst the thousand-meter vengeful spirits’ terror, countless sword lights burst forth, turning the body of the thousand-meter vengeful spirit into a honeycomb of holes; then, extending his right hand, he reached into its body, and a blood-colored skull gradually emerged in his palm, generating immense power and beginning to absorb the spirit’s power.
“Whoo, whoo, whoo!”
“No…”
“No, no…”
From the mouth of the thousand-meter vengeful spirit emerged a nearly human voice, filled with extreme misery.
In less than a moment, its massive form shrank by tenfold, and then it exploded, its power entirely absorbed by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen felt refreshed, withdrawn the Slaughter Dao, and looked around; even the vengeful spirits in the distance scurried away at his sight, “My insight into the Slaughter Dao has advanced, actually allowing me to surpass two small realms!”
“It seems that the Slaughter Dao is truly my foundation.”
“Huh? In the distance, is that an altar?”
“And is there a huge creature on the altar?”
With some confusion, Ye Chen carried Ye Luo and flew directly toward the altar.
On their way, no matter how many vengeful spirits there were, feeling his murderous aura, they could not help but evade. The scene of Ye Chen transformed into an almighty kill god slaughtering millions of vengeful spirits was vividly clear to them—who would dare provoke Ye Chen!
“Hmm?”
“After ten thousand years, someone has finally arrived!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, this youngster has such heavy killing aura, how many people, how many vengeful spirits has he killed?”
“An interesting lad.”
Voices emanated from the altar.
Ye Chen traveled thousands of miles in the sky and arrived deep within the Resentful Spirit Land to see a colossal altar of tens of thousands of feet high, much like a bronze cauldron from Huaxia, with three cylindrical divine pillars stretching out from the sea of blood, each towering tens of thousands of feet high and now reaching up to three thousand feet—a monstrous figure in the Endless Sea, making it hard for Ye Chen to see any weapon capable of resisting the corrosion of the sea of blood.
The altar before him was not just an altar; the three divine pillars supporting the altar, each covered in moss, showed no signs of corrosion from the sea of blood. The altar itself occupied tens of thousands of square meters, made from a bronze-colored material that was unknown to Ye Chen.
ROAR ROAR ROAR!!
ROAR ROAR!!
A series of roaring sounds emerged.
There was a giant beast imprisoned on the altar, and it seemed somewhat infuriated—previously, it had spoken in human language, but Ye Chen had ignored it.
At this moment, Ye Chen continued to ignore it and instead scrutinized the beast, feeling a sense of familiarity. The giant beast stood five thousand zhang tall, its flesh shell magma-colored, evidently possessing strong defense, and it was tightly bound by countless chains.
These chains felt strangely familiar to him!
Suddenly, Ye Chen recalled something!
The few images passed to him by the blood dragon through the sub-spiritual beast!
In the images was an abyss!
And in the abyss was a demonic dragon imprisoned by chains!
The chains imprisoning that demonic dragon were exactly the same as the ones binding the giant beast before him!
Impossible!
SIZZLE SIZZLE!!
SIZZLE SIZZLE!!
Countless purple lightning bolts flashed upon the chains.
Countless chains, diving deep into the sea of blood’s bottom, seemed connected to the earth, firmly locking down this colossal beast.
Sizzle~~
Ye Chen moved a bit closer, the purple lightning on the chains swiftly attacked.
As soon as a purple lightning left the altar, it quickly expanded into a purple lightning dragon that burst forth with overwhelming power. Fortunately, it lacked spirituality. Ye Chen dodged easily with a few movements, but his right arm still got grazed by the purple lightning. Instantly, his arm cracked open, and blood splattered.
“What powerful lightning!”
“A casual strike that probably equals a full-force blow from a martial artist of the Great Void Realm Fifth Layer Heaven!”
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised. He never expected the purple lightning here to be so fierce. Looking at the giant beast that was chained, he felt some horror—the fact he could dodge these lightning bolts was good enough, but the ceaseless bombardment of myriad purple lightning constantly striking this colossal beast was unimaginable!
How powerful could this colossal beast be?
Peak of the Disaster Slaying Realm ninth level?
Or perhaps that distant Chaos Realm?
Only a being of the Chaos Realm could possibly withstand such terrifying and endless purple lightning, right?
Ye Chen knew that such a fearsome colossal beast was not something he could provoke. It was better to leave now, to avoid the situation where the beast, in a frenzy, might lead the purple lightning to mistakenly think he was there to rescue it, causing him to be affected as well.
Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, he noticed something unusual!
Bang!!
A blast echoed!
A vengeful spirit rushed toward the chains autonomously, causing the purple lightning to continuously strike the colossal beast!
“Are these vengeful spirits and this colossal beast, mortal enemies?”
“Sacrificing themselves to attack the beast, causing it to be struck by the purple lightning?”
Ye Chen was puzzled. He flew to a distance, caught many vengeful spirits, and directly accessed their fragmented memories. Then, by piecing together the surrounding clues, he finally came to some conclusions.
These vengeful spirits were all powerful martial artists in their lives.
From the Disaster Slaying Realm to the Dao Integration Realm, a massive force of tens of millions, they all stepped bravely from the Endless Sea to seal this colossal beast here at a very heavy price. Almost the entire army was wiped out.
The several hundred thousand martial artists who came to fight all fell here, and their remaining souls turned into vengeful spirits, dwelling in this space.
Whenever these lingering souls could no longer hold on and were about to completely shatter, dispersing into the universe, their pre-death intentions would control them to rush toward the sealing altar of the colossal beast, inciting the purple lightning to injure the beast to prevent it from recovering its cultivation level and combat strength, keeping it sealed here.
In the Ancient Times, what exactly happened in the Endless Sea?
What connection does this place have with the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, where the demonic dragon is imprisoned?
Having understood the causes and consequences, Ye Chen was preparing to leave when the colossal beast spoke again.
“Young one!”
“Your killing aura seems very intense.”
“You must have been chased and escaped here, I presume?”
As the colossal beast spoke again, the previous bombardment by the purple lightning seemed to have hurt him a lot, but he had already adapted to the pain.
It could be seen lying on the altar, its huge mouth not open, yet the voice still transmitted. “Young one, what is your name? I have been sealed here for so many years, and you are the fourth person I have seen.”
“You should know!”
“My power is beyond your comprehension. Over the years, I’ve met a few young ones.”
“After they accompanied me, I taught them cultivation methods, and they made a name for themselves outside. One of them seemed to have self-proclaimed as the Tai Ruo Yin Yang Saint Lord.”
“You must have heard of him, right?”
