Wu Chunqiu still had the arrogance of a genius.
Therefore, he took the lead and charged into the River of Life and Death. He wanted to kill Ye Chen in the River of Life and Death.
"Let's go with the prince."
Behind Wu Chunqiu, seventeen black-robed warriors rushed out and followed Wu Chunqiu into the River of Life and Death.
Wu Chunqiu didn't stop them. Instead, he led them into the River of Life and Death.
They followed Ye Chen's example and chose a chain that floated above the River of Life and Death. Then, they stepped on the chain and rushed toward the countless metal coffins in the middle of the River of Life and Death.
Whoosh!
When Wu Chunqiu and the others stepped into the River of Life and Death, Ye Chen's figure had already rushed to the metal coffins in the middle of the River of Life and Death.
When Ye Chen landed on the metal coffins, the metal coffins sank slightly under Ye Chen's weight, almost sinking below the surface of the water.
Fortunately, the coffins were able to withstand Ye Chen's weight in the end.
"What are these coffins?
Why can they float above the River of Life and Death? "Ye Chen stood on the coffins and secretly asked the Heroic Spirits.
He was indeed very curious about these metal coffins.
One of the Heroic Spirits responded to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, the Sacred Race's ancestral cemetery was originally seized from the Necromancer Tribe. This was originally the Necromancer Tribe's sacred land, and also the place where the Necromancer Tribe nurtured battle corpses. If not for the Necromancer Tribe's many years of operation, this place wouldn't have such a dense death aura and even be connected to the World of Death."
"As for these metal coffins, they are unique divine artifacts that the Necromancer Tribe specially forged back then to nurture battle corpses. That's why they can float above the River of Life and Death. Ever since the Necromancer Tribe disappeared from the Hidden Dragon World, these metal coffins have been submerged in the River of Life and Death. With the protection of the River of Life and Death, no one has been able to do anything to these metal coffins."
A shocked expression appeared on Ye Chen's face.
He had never imagined that the ancestral cemetery would be related to the Necromancer Tribe.
However, if that was not the case, it would be difficult to explain how Wu Chunqiu and the other Corpse Driving Tribe martial art practitioners could so easily come to the Life and Death River.
Clearly, the Necromancer Race had a better understanding of the ancestral cemetery's environment than the Sacred Race.
With just a slight distraction, Ye Chen immediately focused and slashed the Monarch Saint Sword in his hand onto the metal coffin's chains.
Only by severing these chains could Ye Chen regain his freedom and escape with the help of this metal coffin.
Crack!
What made Ye Chen speechless was that the Monarch Saint Sword in his hand ruthlessly chopped down on the metal coffin's chain. However, it didn't have any effect. This metal chain was incomparably sturdy. Even if Ye Chen chopped down with all his strength, he still couldn't break it.
Without breaking the chains, Ye Chen couldn't leave. All he could do was watch as Wu Chunqiu and the others closed in.
Being surrounded by Wu Chunqiu and the others in the Life and Death River was truly a dead end.
"Again," Ye Chen was unwilling to give up. He brandished the Monarch Saint Sword in his hand again and slashed at the chain beneath his feet.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out. The sharp Monarch Saint Sword was still unable to sever the chain.
Such a scene made Ye Chen's face turn extremely gloomy.
For the chain to remain unscathed in the Life and Death River, one could imagine that the material used was extremely special. It wasn't strange that Ye Chen couldn't sever it.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen was in a desperate situation.
"Haha, this fool. Does he want to sever these chains?"
"These chains were specially created by the ancestors of our Necromancer Tribe. They are comparable to divine artifacts. How can they be severed so easily?"
"No one has ever severed these chains. Does this kid want to be the first? What a joke."
…
In the distance, the powerhouses of the Necromancer Tribe laughed loudly when they saw Ye Chen's actions.
These mocking voices made Ye Chen, who was sitting on top of a metal coffin, look extremely gloomy.
Do I have to go all out and fight Wu Chunqiu and the others? Ye Chen thought unwillingly.
If he went all out and even released the World Tree, he would have the strength to fight Wu Chunqiu and the others. However, this battle would definitely end with Ye Chen's defeat. There was no doubt about that.
After all, there were dozens of powerhouses of the Necromancer Tribe here.
Ye Chen had already experienced the strangeness of the Necromancer Tribe back in the True Spirit World.
If Ye Chen fell into their hands, he would probably be refined into a battle corpse. Even if he died, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
Therefore, Ye Chen didn't want to reveal all his trump cards until the very last moment.
"Ye Chen, this chain was created by the Necromancer Tribe using the bones of powerhouses. It can't be easily severed. However, you have the World Tree. With its devouring ability, you can definitely sever this chain." The voice of a Heroic Spirit sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
"Right, the World Tree." Reminded by the Heroic Spirit, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and summoned the Budur Ancient Pagoda.
Rumble!
Ye Chen didn't expose the World Tree directly. Instead, he let the Budur Ancient Pagoda expand and land on top of the metal coffin. He let the World Tree start devouring the chain inside the Budur Ancient Pagoda.
The roots and branches of the World God Tree wrapped around the chain.
Almost immediately, the chain started thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It is indeed effective. The World Tree's devouring ability is too abnormal." Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
However, at this moment, Wu Chunqiu and the others who came from the shore had already crossed more than half of the chain. They were almost in front of the metal coffin where Ye Chen was.
"The World Tree needs about ten breaths to sever this chain. During this time, Wu Chunqiu and the others will probably have enough time to rush here."
Ye Chen looked up at Wu Chunqiu and the others. He gritted his teeth and jumped out of the metal coffin. He took the initiative to attack a Necromancer Tribe ancient martial art practitioner.
When the Necromancer Tribe ancient martial art practitioner saw Ye Chen charging at him, he didn't panic. Instead, he looked delighted.
"Haha, you seem to have offended His Highness the Prince. I will kill you and present your head to His Highness as a congratulatory gift."
With a loud laugh, the Necromancer Tribe ancient martial art practitioner took out a bone staff. He waved it slightly, and the bone staff immediately emitted a soul-stirring sound.
"Divine Wine Curse."
Ye Chen shouted coldly. An extremely terrifying power suddenly rose from the blade of the Monarch Sacred Sword.
Under the influence of this power, the Monarch Sacred Sword in Ye Chen's hand seemed to suddenly become a huge sword that was a hundred feet long. With a loud bang, the sword slashed at the ancient martial art practitioner in front of him.
The ancient martial art practitioner held the bone staff in his hand. He had a cold smile on his face. He was very confident in his own strength.
However, the terrifying power that suddenly appeared from Ye Chen's blade made his expression change drastically. He didn't dare to be careless anymore. He waved his hand and summoned battle corpses.
The Necromancer Tribe's strongest ability was their ability to control battle corpses. As for their own combat power, it had always been very weak.
The Necromancer Tribe ancient martial art practitioner dared to attack Ye Chen mainly because his realm was far above Ye Chen's. He was at least at the Sixth Heaven of the Divine Path.
