Underwater world, dark gully.
The seawater surged and then quickly calmed down. Everything slowly returned to normal, and the giant beast sleeping in the depths of the dark gully slowly sank to the bottom of the gully. Its white eyes slowly closed, and it fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing seemed to have changed.
However, the giant beast's body suddenly trembled. Its eyes suddenly opened wide and were filled with fear.
Countless cracks suddenly appeared on his body. The blood-red patterns seemed to have been carved out by magma. Then, with a boom, he exploded.
Countless pieces of flesh and blood splattered out. The pitch-black giant beast's body suddenly shattered into countless pieces of flesh and blood, and shot towards the sea.
And at the place where it was originally sleeping, a fiery red light quietly floated. Then, when the intense and dazzling light on the light gradually faded, two people could be seen.
It was Ye Chen and Bai Yijun.
"This monster is really bold …" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows. A green light flashed in his eyes, and the seawater in the gully suddenly rolled out. It was forcefully pushed towards the top of the gully by a huge and powerful force.
A huge wind barrier was propped up from the rocks at the bottom of the sea. All the seawater in the gully was pushed out, and it became a huge space without any seawater.
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun landed on the rocks. The ground had been roasted by the flames just now, and it was as dry as land.
Ye Chen muttered to himself for a while, and then held Bai Yijun's hand tightly. He propped up a strong wind barrier around the two of them. Then, he activated the black flames under his feet. The originally dry ground quickly melted, and was directly burned to ashes.
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun quickly sank down.
When the two of them had sunk to a very deep depth, the huge Wind Barrier that Ye Chen had set up in the middle of the gully dissipated in an instant. The seawater that was flowing above the gully fiercely chased after them like a waterfall, filling up the entire gully. The rocks in the surroundings were trembling, and even the extinct volcano not far away was shaking as if it was about to erupt.
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun quickly sank. Not long after, they arrived at a dark red layer of the earth's crust. The temperature here was much higher than outside. Not long after, they entered a magma.
Ye Chen knew that he had arrived at the core of the earth. In the center of the dark red layer of the earth's crust, there was a mass of magma. The temperature was so hot that it seemed to be able to melt steel.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. His body did not stop, and he continued to rush deeper into the magma.
The temperature here was about the same as the surface of the sun. When they reached the deepest part, the temperature was close to 7,000 degrees.
Ye Chen knew that ever since the disaster 10,000 years ago, the temperature of the earth's core had exceeded 10,000 years ago. At that time, the highest temperature was only 6,000 degrees Celsius.
Although the difference was only 1,000 degrees Celsius now, it had a huge impact on Earth's climate. If the humans on Earth were the same as they were 10,000 years ago, they would not have been able to withstand such a climate and would have gone extinct long ago.
After arriving here, Ye Chen suddenly felt as if there was a faint energy fluctuation in the magma. He keenly grasped this energy fluctuation and quickly moved towards it.
Not long after, he saw a huge spatial connection point in the magma. This spatial connection point was extremely hidden. It was located in the crevice of a different dimension and was very difficult to discover.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He took a step forward and entered the spatial connection point with Bai Yijun.
The flames around them surged and then disappeared. What appeared in front of Ye Chen and Bai Yijun was a huge empty space. They were surrounded by exquisite silver walls. There were many strange beast patterns on the walls, and they were filled with strong power.
However, as soon as Ye Chen walked into this huge space, he felt an indescribable warmth all over his body. It was as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.
This intimate and warm feeling came from the front of the huge space. When Ye Chen raised his head to look, he immediately sucked in a breath of air.
In front of the huge space, on a silver platform, there was a huge golden heart lying tightly. There were many mysterious patterns on the surface of the heart, as if they were drawn with thick ink.
The golden heart was beating slightly. Every time it beat, the black mysterious patterns on its surface lit up with a black light, as if it was resisting something.
"What, what is this …" Bai Yijun was shocked.
Ye Chen frowned. He could feel a pure and sacred power from the golden heart. This energy was vast, profound, and noble. At that moment, it flowed out and floated into the magma through the spatial connection point behind him. Then, it merged into the Earth's crust and disappeared.
Ye Chen did not expect to find a huge golden heart in the deepest part of Earth.
He was silent for a moment. Then, step by step, he approached the golden heart.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the strong vitality of the golden heart. It was like a huge cocoon, ready to break out of its cocoon and be reborn at any moment.
"Whose heart would be placed here, and it's still alive? According to Earth's lifespan, this heart has been here for at least 4.5 billion years. How long is that? If this heart has always been here, then it has a history of 4.5 billion years.
Ye Chen felt scared just thinking about it.
"This heart seems to have been sealed by something."
Bai Yijun looked at it carefully and said softly.
Ye Chen nodded slightly. "I don't know what kind of powerhouse it was, but after he was killed, he still sealed his heart here. His enemy only sealed the heart and did not kill him. Could it be …"
"Could it be what?"
"Could it be that the person who killed this person was not his enemy, but his friend? Furthermore, every time this heart beats, the energy it emits is extremely strong, but it is repelled by the seal. Looking at the situation, it is likely that this person's friend brought his heart here after he died, and then sealed it with a seal to prevent the energy in the heart from dissipating too quickly."
"I don't know what kind of expert this person was when he was alive, but his friend placed his heart here. Why is there no one guarding it? Furthermore, the spatial connection point is open. If someone were to barge in, they would be able to see it easily. His friend is too careless." Bai Yijun frowned.
Ye Chen said in a low voice, "The spatial connection point is probably slowly collapsing under the heat of the magma.
Under such temperature, even if it was simmered for 4.5 billion years, even the strongest spatial connection point would collapse.
And there should be people guarding this place. They probably left after the spatial connection point was broken. "
"This person is really irresponsible." Bai Yijun sighed.
Ye Chen smiled, then looked at the golden heart. His eyes flashed, and he said, "The energy in this heart is abnormally strong. At the very least, it belongs to a Heaven-defying Realm powerhouse, or even stronger. If I can devour it, my strength will definitely soar."
"You want to eat this heart?" Bai Yijun glanced at him, hesitating. "That's not very good, is it?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "This world is dominated by the survival of the strong. Although this is a little cruel, there is no other way. Everything is caused by fate … It's too early to say. Since the person guarding this heart left, he must have left a powerful restriction. We have to be careful."
Bai Yijun nodded seriously.
Ye Chen turned his hand, took out the Heavenly Illusion Mirror, and then quickly made a mirror image of himself. Whether it was ability or aura, it was exactly the same as him.
Moreover, it was not an illusion, but a real life.
Under Ye Chen's instructions, the mirror image approached the golden heart.
Ye Chen brought Bai Yijun back to the entrance of the spatial connection point. If anything went wrong, they could immediately teleport out.
Under the nervous gazes of the two, the mirror image stood in front of the golden heart. Its body was wrapped in black flames, and it reached out to touch the golden heart.
Bang!
The mirror image's body suddenly exploded, turned into a cloud of black mist, and flew back into the Heavenly Illusion Mirror.
Ye Chen and Bai Yijun were both shocked, especially Ye Chen. He knew the function of the Heavenly Illusion Mirror. The mirror image it made was exactly the same as his strength and physique. However, at this moment, just touching the golden heart was instantly killed. If he had touched it himself, there would be nothing left of him.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's body was covered in cold sweat. He thought for a moment, turned his hand, and summoned the mirror image again. Then, he threw a spatial ring to it. "Put it in there."
The mirror clone held the interspatial ring and rushed towards the golden heart. When he got close, he grabbed the interspatial ring and opened it. Then, he released a black flame to protect his body. At the same time, he activated the divine power in his body and touched the golden heart, trying to move it into the interspatial ring.
However, the moment the divine power touched the golden heart, the mirror image's body suddenly exploded into countless black mist. Even the silver-white spatial ring exploded into ashes.
Ye Chen frowned. He did not expect that even divine power could not get close to the golden heart. He turned to look at Bai Yijun and sighed. "It seems that we can't get it."
Bai Yijun could only nod.
Ye Chen stared at the golden heart, then turned and left with Bai Yijun. Before he left, he used a few of the Guqin civilization's unique String Killing Formations outside the spatial connection point.
The two of them left the geocentric world and rushed up from the ocean. Finally, they broke through the blue sea surface and appeared high up in the sky.
Blue sky, white clouds.
The gentle sea breeze blew against their bodies, and the air was mixed with a salty smell.
Ye Chen took a deep breath, then looked at Bai Yijun beside him and said, "Let's go to the ancient world and take a look."
"Okay." Bai Yijun nodded.
Ye Chen grabbed with his hand and tore the void. With his current strength, it was not difficult to tear the ancient world's spatial barrier.
