Chapter 2992: Chapter 2966: Captivating Soul!
Crash!
As he stepped into the Tomb Mansion, the bronze giant gate automatically closed.
The world before him instantly plunged into darkness.
A faint and peculiar aura lingered around him, refusing to dissipate.
Suddenly, Ye Chen realized that his connection with the Samsara Graveyard had become extremely weak.
If he were to summon the powerhouses from the graveyard at this moment, the combat strength he could borrow would be at most half of usual.
"Haha, interesting."
Ye Chen’s eyes turned cold; this Chong Guang Tomb Mansion was indeed peculiar.
If his connection with the Samsara Graveyard were completely severed, he would not hesitate to flee.
After all, no wondrous opportunity could outweigh his own life.
Ye Chen was not one to act rashly.
But for now, he could still exert half of his combat strength, which was sufficient.
Ye Chen calmed his mind and advanced lightly along the Tomb Mansion passageway.
Though it was pitch black around, with Ye Chen’s level of cultivation, seeing at night posed no problem.
He saw clearly that the walls of the Tomb Mansion were engraved with ruined Prohibition Runes, most of which were damaged.
Apparently, when Ye Shaoyou had previously invaded the Tomb Mansion, he had battled the prohibitive forces here.
This made it easier for Ye Chen; without the killing prohibitions, he would face much less difficulty.
Buzz!
Suddenly, glowing streaks of light appeared in front of him.
Some Prohibition Runes emitted brilliant light.
The prohibitions here were evidently intact, not damaged.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The glowing Prohibition Runes coalesced into crossbow arrows, carrying the overwhelming force of Destruction Divine Dao, crazily assaulting Ye Chen.
What seemed to be simple Prohibition Runes actually contained potent Destruction Divine Dao.
"Ling Xiao Martial Intent, God Slaying and Heaven Shattering! Thunder Desolate Dominator Star Sword! Slash!"
Ye Chen did not act carelessly, swinging the Slaughter Sword with the full display of True Martial Intent.
Dazzling starlight burst from his sword, accompanied by rolling thunder, shaking the void, as if the surrounding space was about to collapse.
Ye Chen swung his sword like splashing ink, with sword light, starlight, sword qi, and thunderbolt fiercely clashing with the crossbow arrow lights, emitting sounds like clashing blades.
Woo woo woo!
The crossbow arrow lights shattered into streaming light, dispersing.
But Ye Chen was forced back three steps by the prohibitive power.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The next instant, before he could catch his breath, the Prohibition Runes turned into countless flying swords slashing toward him.
...
Meanwhile, in a dark area near the cave.
An extremely mysterious aura flowed there.
Demon Dawn Runes and strange chants emanated from this Black Hole.
The entire cave became silent—every Blood Bat shivered, too afraid to make a sound.
Amidst the endless demonic qi, two black-robed figures slowly emerged from the Black Hole.
In their hands, they each held a terrifying steel trident.
Endless demonic qi continuously emanated from their bodies.
Amidst the black demonic energy, a hideously terrifying face appeared, with a black face and tusks, resembling a legendary demon.
Their skin was also hard and bony, covered with thick scales, and a row of bone spurs protruded from their spines, piercing through their black robes and exposed to the air, emitting a mysterious aura.
"Hehehe, I never thought I, the Annihilation Void Demon, would return here again."
"We were exiled to Lost Space-time for untold ages, drifting in the endless cosmos, nearly losing ourselves."
"The aura of other devils is evident in this Divine Kingdom."
"Interesting."
One of the black-robed figures sighed, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of life.
"Fortunately, Mo Xue Ming left a hidden mark to guide us with the coordinates."
The other black-robed figure chuckled.
"What is this place? It seems like I sensed Chong Guang Emperor’s aura!"
"Let me deduce... hmm, Chong Guang Tomb Mansion, so this is Chong Guang Tomb Mansion!"
"Hahaha, heaven blesses our race; this Chong Guang Tomb Mansion harbors many opportunities!"
"And that hidden mark appears to be in a boy’s hands; let’s eliminate him as well."
The two black-robed figures conversed as they strode toward Ye Chen’s direction.
The Black Hole behind them gradually faded and disappeared.
The fractured space quickly restored to its original state.
But the scattered small black Space Crystal shards on the ground testified to their presence.
If Ye Shaoyou were here, he would surely recognize these two black-robed figures as the legendary Annihilation Void Demons!
...
The scene shifted.
Ye Chen looked at the layers of danger before him, his eyes cold as he retreated repeatedly, raising his Sword Spear to block, though not clashing directly.
In a series of intense collisions, Ye Chen deflected many flying swords, yet still many prohibitive flying swords viciously cut into him, leaving gaping wounds.
"These prohibitions are not easy to deal with."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, knowing these were just basic prohibitions, yet still troublesome. Advancing further might leave him torn to pieces.
No wonder even Ye Shaoyou back then also got injured by prohibitions.
The prohibitions in this Tomb Mansion were truly formidable.
Ye Chen’s gaze shifted, contemplating a strategy.
"Samsara Master..."
"This incantation can break the prohibitions..."
A familiar voice echoed again, a segment of obscure and mysterious incantation reached Ye Chen’s ears.
"Are you Chong Guang Emperor?"
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he asked.
"It is I... help me..."
Chong Guang Emperor’s voice was very weak.
"How do you know me?"
Ye Chen was a bit curious; Chong Guang Emperor actually knew his identity as the Samsara Master.
"Ji Xuanyue..."
Chong Guang Emperor whispered three words, even though his voice was weak, it carried immense reverence and awe.
This Ji Xuanyue seemed to possess an astounding Divine Might.
Such a level of expert as Chong Guang Emperor trembled when mentioning Ji Xuanyue’s name.
"Who is Ji Xuanyue?"
Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had countless ties to this Ji Xuanyue, yet he couldn’t recall.
"..."
Chong Guang Emperor fell silent, seemingly too weak to utter another word.
"Hold on, I’ll save you soon."
Ye Chen took a large step forward.
He wasn’t doing it out of goodwill, rescuing Chong Guang Emperor was merely for the immense benefit.
After all, Chong Guang Emperor was one of the Seven Divine Emperors of yesteryears; if Ye Chen could seize his secret treasures, he would gain immense advantage.
This was also vital in countering the Netherworld Hall and the Heavenly Dao Palace!
"Calamity Dispel and Elimination, Annihilate All, Origin of All Things, Activate!"
Ye Chen chanted, and the Prohibition Runes ahead immediately halted their attack.
This was the incantation Chong Guang Emperor had just imparted to him.
Once deployed, it produced excellent results.
"Why did this guy set up so many prohibitions?"
Ye Chen complained inwardly, then took large strides towards the main chamber of the tomb.
"Humble being, retreat quickly."
Suddenly, a deep roar came from deep within the ground.
Brush!
Ye Chen instantly halted his steps, gripping his Sword Spear tightly, wholly alert.
This roar was extremely familiar.
When he first entered the cave and drove away the bats, he had heard this voice, imbued with a primordial savagery.
"You have awakened me; I shall spare your life considering your cultivation, now leave swiftly."
The deep voice echoed throughout the tomb chamber, shaking the heart and soul.
