I originally planned to update at four o 'clock today, but I was too sleepy and my eyelids kept fighting. Let's change and update at four o' clock tomorrow.
…
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Chen's bewildered expression and smiled. He said, "The God Burial Abyss is not on an island. It is at the bottom of the entire ocean. There is a path to it in the Divine Power Fountain on every island."
"At the bottom of the ocean?"
Ye Chen was stunned and frowned slightly. At this moment, the middle-aged man took the lead and jumped into the Divine Power Fountain. He pondered for a moment and then jumped in after him.
Zi Wan and Huang Feng's eyes flashed, but they were not too surprised. They jumped in after Ye Chen. Huang Bingbing and the other two were surprised. When they saw the middle-aged man and the others enter, they quickly followed without hesitation.
As they entered the passage, Ye Chen gathered his strength and wrapped it around his body. He followed closely behind the middle-aged man. They turned left and right in the dark passage. After a while, they went down an unknown distance. As they rushed out of the passage, a spacious underground world appeared in front of them.
This underground world was fiery red and covered in magma. The temperature was very high. It was like a natural cave with many sharp edges. It was eerie and terrifying.
After Ye Chen landed on the ground, he looked around and memorized the map.
"This is the God Burial Abyss?"
Huang Bingbing and the others looked around in surprise. It was hard to imagine how much manpower was needed to excavate such a large place!
"Follow me!" The middle-aged man said in a low voice. He moved and rushed toward a small path in the distance.
This underground world was very vast. It was like a blood-red magma continent. There were many protruding strange rocks and a bubbling sea of fire.
The group flew for a short while and came to a sea of fire. In the middle of the sea of magma, there was a charred rock that had not melted since ancient times. There were several stone platforms on it. They had been burning in the fire for a long time, but there were no signs of them melting.
"That is the God's Stone!" The middle-aged man pointed and said to Zi Wan and the others, "You can cultivate on it."
Zi Wan and the others looked over and their expressions changed. After a while, Huang Feng asked cautiously, "That God's Stone seems to be a bit far away. Where should we go?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him and pointed to a rock wall in the east. "There is a small path over there. You can fly along that path. However, this sea of lava has been here for too long and has condensed too much fire poison and Earth Demon's Infernal Qi, causing strange monsters to be born in this sea of lava. Therefore, it's best that you don't stay on that path for too long, lest you attract those monsters."
Huang Feng and the others were startled for a moment before their expressions changed slightly. Huang Bingbing looked at the sea of lava with lingering fear and said, "Is that monster strong?
It won't be dangerous, right? "
The middle-aged man said indifferently, "I allowed you to come. Naturally, I've weighed the pros and cons. Don't worry."
Seeing this, the group didn't say anything else. After bidding farewell to Ye Chen, they turned and walked toward the path. Not long after, they found a one-meter wide path that was almost touching the surface of the sea of lava. If they were any lower, they would be engulfed by the sea of lava. Everyone rushed out one after another and ran for a distance on the path before using the momentum to fly up.
Ye Chen watched quietly.
Suddenly —
Roar!
An angry roar came from the sea of magma. Then, a stream of magma shot toward Zi Wan and the others in the air. In the sea of magma, bubbles suddenly rolled and waves of fire swept out. A magma monster covered in flames stood up from the sea of fire. It was ten meters tall and looked like a giant gorilla. It rushed toward Zi Wan and the others.
Zi Wan and the others were not weak. In addition, they had been on guard all this time. When they saw this lava monster, they were all shocked and hurriedly dodged. They didn't fight it and instead flew away.
"A dark creature!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the lava monster. There were dark creatures here too. Could it be that the Yellow Emperor had accidentally brought them here when he moved here?
At this moment, several lava monsters rushed out of the lava one after another. They were all different in shape. Some were like apes, some were like crocodiles, and some were like flying snakes. Their bodies were all condensed from lava.
Ye Chen looked at them and found that these lava monsters were very weak. They were only at the eighth or ninth rank, not even at the King Grade.
With the skills of Zi Wan and the others, their figures flashed and they quickly flew past.
After a short moment, these people finally arrived at the black scorched earth at the center of the sea of flames without any mishap. They felt as if they had survived a calamity, and all of them heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. After that, they turned around and waved at Ye Chen and the middle aged man.
The middle-aged man glanced at them and then said indifferently, "Let's go!" He turned and walked away.
Ye Chen followed. He knew that the middle-aged man had sent Zi Wan, Huang Feng, and the others away in advance. This meant that the place they were going to was extremely secretive and couldn't be revealed to ordinary people.
After walking for a short while, the middle-aged man brought Ye Chen to a broken bridge. There were cracks on the scorched earth, and fire flickered in the cracks. Clearly, there was a sea of lava under this scorched earth.
Not far ahead was a sunken valley filled with lava. In the middle was a long iron bridge that was four or five kilometers long. At the end of the bridge was a blurry black mountain peak.
The middle-aged man walked to the Iron Lock Bridge and bowed respectfully. "Master, the Battle of Geniuses has ended. The strongest six have been selected, and one of them has passed the Bridge of Souls and received the recognition of the Godly Sword. I have brought him here to seek an audience."
His voice echoed in the empty underground world.
After a long time.
"Let him come!" A voice came from the other side of the bridge a few kilometers away.
This voice was full of vicissitudes and majesty, leaving no room for doubt.
The middle-aged man turned and looked at Ye Chen. He straightened his back and said, "Go ahead. Whether you can obtain the Godly Sword is still uncertain. You have to pass the Lord Dragon Emperor's test first."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. He turned and looked at the blurry mountain peak in the distance. He walked over and stepped on the iron bridge. Below the bridge was a sea of fire. Hot air bubbles floated up and burst. The airflow was as high as ten thousand degrees Celsius. This bridge was made of a strange metal. Under such high temperature, it didn't melt at all.
However, when Ye Chen's feet landed on the bridge, he still felt a burst of heat. If he wasn't wearing the Bursting Flame Battle Boots, his feet would have been burnt to a crisp.
After walking for a long time …
The blurry mountain peak gradually became clear. It was a black mountain peak. It was sharp and steep as if it was made of metal. There wasn't a single tree or flower on it. It was completely bare.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a colossal creature that was tens of thousands of feet long. It was covered in golden scales, as if it was cast from molten iron. Its claws were sharp, and it looked vigorous and powerful. There was a sharp horn on its forehead, and two long white whiskers hung down from its eyes. It looked rather old.
Dragon!
Ye Chen was shocked. This huge monster in front of him was a real Divine Dragon. Its strength was far beyond that of a flood dragon. "I've long heard that the current ruler of the temple is the Yellow Emperor's protector. He's a descendant of the Dragon Tribe. I didn't expect it to be true!"
Ye Chen's heart trembled. This Divine Dragon in front of him was an existence beyond the Divine Tier. Its physical strength alone was at level 100,000. Moreover, it could turn into a ghost. If they were to fight, he would have to activate the Lightning Superman Mode to escape.
When Ye Chen looked at the Divine Dragon, the latter also raised its head. Its eyes glowed with a metallic luster and looked deeply at Ye Chen. Its eyes were clear and calm, as if it had seen through everything in the world. If it were an ordinary person, their mind would have collapsed immediately.
Ye Chen's heart trembled slightly. The Light of Wisdom appeared behind his head. His whole body was suffused with a holy and calm aura.
The Divine Dragon looked at him deeply and then withdrew its gaze. "Yes, you do have the qualifications to wield the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. However, you are an outsider. I can't believe you just like that. Unless you make a solemn oath in front of me and accept the implantation of a Contract Talisman!"
Ye Chen frowned and thought to himself, "Old ginger is spicier. There's even a Contract Talisman!"
He was quite familiar with this type of talisman. It was a product of the runic civilization. It looked like a rune but actually contained sophisticated technology. It could be implanted into the brain of a living creature. Once implanted, it would be connected to the cells of the living creature's brain and nervous system!
On the Curse Talisman, several procedures could be set. Once these procedures were violated, it would self-destruct!
He frowned and said, "What Contract Talisman?"
The Divine Dragon said calmly, "The Contract Talisman is a kind of oath restriction. Once implanted in your brain and you violate the oath, you will self-destruct and die!"
Ye Chen frowned and said in a low voice, "What oath?
Do you want me to swear to protect you all for life? "
The Divine Dragon said calmly, "The oath is very simple. There are three conditions. First, you are not to harm any human. Second, you are not to harm any member of the Xuanyuan Clan. Third, when the Xuanyuan Clan is in trouble, you must do your best and step forward bravely!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "If someone from the human race wants to kill me, won't I not be able to fight back?"
The Divine Dragon was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. After pondering for a while, it said, "Then set it up so that you can fight back against anyone who attacks you."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Okay."
The Divine Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a small talisman that floated in front of Ye Chen's forehead. It was the size of a finger and covered with tadpole and Sanskrit characters. It stopped for a moment and imprinted itself in between his eyebrows, seeping into his skin and disappearing.
The moment the talisman merged with his skin, Ye Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain. However, he quickly recovered. This talisman was not made of paper but was made of stem cells, biological cell balls, and other materials. It was half-mechanical and half-biological in nature.
"If it's a cockroach superhuman, it won't be restricted by this Contract Talisman. As long as it activates superhuman mode, it will crush its head and grow another one."
Ye Chen felt the small talisman in the center of his brain. He saw many roots growing out of it and connected it to his nervous system and consciousness system. Once the talisman was destroyed, he would die.
"After I leave, I'll ask Prynne or Elvi to help me take out the talisman. With their skills, they should be able to deal with a small talisman. If it doesn't work, I'll find the Beast Tamer Civilization and obtain the sealing technique inside to suppress and imprison the talisman!" Ye Chen planned in his heart.
