Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 931 - 881: Life Cavity, Death Cavity, Secret Inheritance (Second Update)

Amidst the divine light.

Under the gazes of countless eyes.

Ye Chen looked at the familiar Sea of Mist and took a deep breath: "I'm back!"

Back when he first entered the Sea of Mist, Ye Chen would never have imagined that the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain hid not only the Undersea Killing Formation, but also the "Purple Ore Mystery Realm," the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain," and countless challengers from past eras, along with a number of formidable Divine Masters!

Returning to the Sea of Mist now, Ye Chen felt as if a lifetime had passed.

This unexpected journey had yielded substantial rewards for Ye Chen.

Not only had he acquired tens of billions of Purple Silver Pearls—an amount sufficient to shake countless nine-star Sovereigns across the universe—but he had also gained a purple-silver armor gifted by the Jiuyuan Divine Master and Divine Wine from Fang Xuan Divine Master that greatly enhanced his Life Origin!

The most precious reward, however, was the transformation of his Divine Soul, which directly ascended to the level of a "Blue Light Soul." This didn't just elevate his soul by countless magnitudes but also granted him two sets of extraordinarily profound Divine Soul Secret Skills!

The only regret was that this ordeal had claimed the lives of thousands of challengers and left people like Mu Qingxue and Lin Shan trapped.

Ye Chen let out a sigh.

No matter what, the trial of the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain was now over.

He now had to prepare to face the challenges of the third layer and ultimately the final layer of Heavenly God Mountain!

This was for himself, to fulfill the mission of conquering Heavenly God Mountain,

and also to bring back safe news of Lin Shan and Mu Qingxue!

With his mind composed, Ye Chen restrained his emotions and, under the countless astonished gazes, directly flew out from the Green Light Safe Zone to the edges of the coastline.

As soon as he reached the edge, Ye Chen was immediately surrounded by the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Hua Xuelian, and the Divine Kings of the Five Divine Kingdoms.

"Ye Chen, you truly made it out alive!" Hua Xuelian's voice trembled with excitement.

"Ye Chen, where have you been during this time?" The Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan was equally exhilarated.

The other Divine Kings also raised their voices one after another: "Senior Brother Ye Chen, we heard that the thousands of people who first entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone have all disappeared. Why did none of them return except you? What on earth happened in the Yellow Light Danger Zone?"

Voices of inquiry erupted in a cacophony.

Ye Chen first nodded slightly toward the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Hua Xuelian, and others. Then, addressing the Divine Kings, he said, "Previously, an unexpected event occurred in the Yellow Light Danger Zone. Almost everyone perished. I barely managed to escape the crisis alive."

As for the matter of the "Purple Ore Mystery Realm" and the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain," Ye Chen refrained from revealing it to them due to certain obligations, offering only a simplified account of the situation.

Though Ye Chen spoke in a straightforward manner, everyone else gasped in shock.

An accident?

Almost everyone dead?!

Only Ye Chen managed to escape the jaws of death?

The Divine Kings were astounded. Among those who entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone earlier were Lin Shan, ranked first on the Heavenly God List, and Sima Liao, ranked second. Could it be that even they failed to escape the clutches of death?

Many Divine Kings felt a profound sense of relief.

Thankfully, they hadn't entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone prematurely. Otherwise, they might have also perished in the Sea of Mist!

At this moment, Ye Chen was reluctant to dwell on the topic of the deadly crisis.

He turned to Hua Xuelian and said, "Hua Xuelian, my friend, I thought you had entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone with us, becoming ensnared in the deadly trap and falling as well."

"I didn't expect to see you again." freёweɓnovel.com

Seeing Hua Xuelian unharmed genuinely surprised Ye Chen.

He knew the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan had not entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone at the time. But given Hua Xuelian's strength, it hadn't occurred to Ye Chen that Hua Xuelian wouldn't have been there.

Hua Xuelian, hearing about the calamities faced by those who had entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone earlier, felt his heart pound wildly and patted his chest in lingering fear: "Ye Chen, I was incredibly lucky this time to have narrowly avoided such a great catastrophe!"

As it turned out, Hua Xuelian had been in the Yellow Light Danger Zone but had retreated to the Green Light Safe Zone shortly before the devastating purple storm erupted, while chasing after some Purple Silver Pearls.

When Hua Xuelian returned to the Yellow Light Danger Zone, everyone else had already vanished without a trace.

He had been utterly shocked at the time.

Now hearing Ye Chen confirm what had happened, he realized how narrowly he had escaped disaster!

Hua Xuelian couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease.

After all, even Sima Liao and Lin Shan hadn't been able to escape the deadly crisis. If it had been him, he likely wouldn't have survived either.

Seeing Hua Xuelian safe and also having collected enough Purple Silver Pearls, Ye Chen turned to inquire about the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan's experience in the Sea of Mist.

As Ye Chen and the others talked, the final moments of the trial in the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain slipped away.

Boom!

When the time expired, a Void Light Formation dozens of meters wide abruptly appeared at the edge of the Sea of Mist.

Simultaneously, the voice that had earlier announced the rules of the second layer echoed once again.

"The three-month trial in the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain is now officially over."

"All who have completed their tasks may, within the next quarter-hour, surrender the required one thousand Purple Silver Pearls into the Void Light Formation to be transported into the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain."

"Those who fail to complete the task will, like those who failed in the first layer, be permanently trapped in the second layer!"

"The time to surrender Purple Silver Pearls begins now!"

Whoosh.

As the voice faded, those at the edge who had completed their tasks fell silent.

One by one, they began shooting their collected Purple Silver Pearls into the Void Light Formation.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As these people handed over the required one thousand Purple Silver Pearls, they were immediately enveloped in divine light and whisked into the Void Light Formation, vanishing from sight.

For every success, there were inevitable failures.

Of the initial five hundred and thirty thousand who entered the first layer of Heavenly God Mountain, only ninety thousand advanced to the second layer.

This time, over fifty thousand of the ninety thousand perished in the Sea of Mist due to various Exotic Beasts and fatal mishaps.

Additionally, more than twenty thousand failed to complete their tasks and now wore expressions of utter despair.

Only a little over ten thousand successfully completed their tasks.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a matter of moments, most of those ten thousand successful challengers were transported into the Void Light Formation.

Amid the shifting crowd, Hua Xuelian turned to Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, you've collected enough Purple Silver Pearls this time, right?"

Hua Xuelian was worried that Ye Chen, having narrowly escaped disaster, might not have gathered enough Purple Silver Pearls, which would spell disaster.

Ye Chen chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I've collected enough."

He could not discuss matters regarding the Purple Silver Pearls with Hua Xuelian and the others.

If he could, it would undoubtedly shock Hua Xuelian and countless other Divine Kings who had completed their tasks!

These Divine Kings were delighted just to have a few hundred or even a few thousand extra Purple Silver Pearls after completing their tasks.

What they didn't know was that not only had Ye Chen collected enough Purple Silver Pearls, but he also carried tens of billions of surplus Purple Silver Pearls gifted by Jiuyuan Divine Master!

Having survived unimaginable perils, Ye Chen's haul of Purple Silver Pearls alone was enough to make countless Sovereigns green with envy!

With a faint smile, Ye Chen, along with the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Hua Xuelian, and others, handed over their required Purple Silver Pearls.

After casting a final glance at those remaining in the Sea of Mist who had failed their tasks, Ye Chen sighed deeply before stepping into the Void Light Formation, vanishing completely from the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain.

...

The first layer of Heavenly God Mountain was a slaughterhouse against assassins and villains.

The second layer of Heavenly God Mountain was a test of collecting Purple Silver Pearls and surviving the Sea of Mist's perils.

When Ye Chen and the others—numbering over ten thousand—arrived in the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain, Ye Chen found himself wondering whether the task of the third layer would involve traces of the ancestral estates of ancient predecessors.

What greeted them was a vast giant peak that they had all been transported atop.

Looking down from the peak, the entirety of the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain stretched out before them, dotted with countless beams of divine light shooting up into the skies.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these beams of divine light emanated from what appeared to be sealed ruins scattered across the land.

As Ye Chen stood in awe, he felt a peculiar sense of summoning emanating from certain locations among the ruins below, resonating with the three tokens left in his Qi Sea by Feng Luo and the three given to him by Lin Shan.

Just as Ye Chen's heart was stirred, a voice echoed into the ears of the more than ten thousand challengers atop the giant peak.

"Challengers, welcome to the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain."

"The third layer of Heavenly God Mountain is called the 'Life and Death Caverns World.'"

"Within this layer lies countless ruins. Some of these ruins are true death zones, where entry almost guarantees a one-way path to oblivion."

"These regions fraught with mortal dangers are known as Death Caverns."

"Conversely, there are also numerous Life Caverns. While containing their share of tests and hazards, they are relatively safer, and the rewards within them are substantial. These Life Caverns hold the ruins of estates left behind by Sovereign-level beings or those who surpassed the Sovereign realm in ancient times."

"Those who can explore the Life Caverns may uncover immense fortune and even gain the Secret Inheritances that transcend the Sovereign level!"
