At this moment, the Land of Chaos was trembling more and more violently.
In the Void, the black flowing light shrouded the heavens and the earth. The white fog dissipated and an extremely terrifying and oppressive aura slowly spread out, causing fear to rise in everyone's hearts.
Ye Chen awoke from his state of epiphany. He opened his eyes and looked at the drastic changes in the heavens and the earth in shock.
He had already kept the black divine sword in his body, but at this moment, the black flowing light showed no signs of dissipating. The black light covered the sky and stirred up the heavens and the earth. In particular, the extremely powerful and oppressive aura seemed to want to devour Ye Chen completely.
"How can this be?"
Sweat flowed down Ye Chen's cheeks. Ye Chen's eyes were dull. He looked at the endless black flowing light and at the Land of Chaos that was trembling non-stop. Rumbling sounds were constantly heard, as if something was about to break free from its bindings.
Swoosh!
At this moment, in the endless black flowing light in the sky, a golden ray of light flashed past. It swayed brilliantly and drew a mysterious trajectory.
Seeing this golden ray of light, Ye Chen did not know why, but he felt that his body seemed to have started to resonate. He could clearly feel the unwillingness, anger, hatred, and various artistic conceptions in the golden flowing light.
And these artistic conceptions did not exist in reality, but they appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
That feeling was like a call!
Rumble!
The heavens and the earth trembled and the chaotic aura completely dissipated. Ye Chen's eyes trembled crazily. In front of him, thousands of chains appeared. These chains were full of cracks and fluttered in the wind, breaking into countless fragments. In the center of the chains was a stone lock. In the center of the stone lock was a heart, a golden heart.
"Stone Lock Heart Binding!"
Ye Chen's gaze trembled slightly. Every single one of these tens of thousands of chains emitted an incomparably terrifying aura. Just being so close to them made him feel suffocated. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be if he were to be bound by these stone chains. Even Duan Chongyu would not be able to break through the shackles of these stone chains.
But at this moment, the stone lock was actually binding the golden heart. Moreover, the stone lock was full of cracks, as if it would shatter at any time.
Crack!
A soft sound was suddenly heard, and a pure golden light burst out from the stone lock. The space suddenly became deathly silent, and the stone lock started to tremble crazily. It radiated an incomparably vigorous aura, as if it could imprison thousands of things. Even Ye Chen, who was a few miles away, felt that his Primary Sea was about to be imprisoned.
The suppressive force was even stronger than that of the Eternally Sealed Ancient Sect of the Four Symbols Ancient Tribe.
Even so, the golden light still managed to break through the stone lock. It turned into a streak of light as it whistled through the air. Afterwards, Ye Chen only felt an extremely terrifying and tyrannical aura lock onto his body, causing his body to tremble violently.
Ye Chen suddenly had a feeling that the golden light had a special resonance with him, and it urgently wanted to merge into his body.
The golden light flashed and streaked across the sky like a meteor, shooting towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen's mind went blank. This golden light was so powerful and tyrannical that it could break through the binding of the stone lock. Why was it rushing towards him?
Ye Chen wanted to dodge this terrifying golden light.
But he was surprised to find that his body did not have any intention of moving. Instead, he took a step forward and took the initiative to welcome the golden light.
Light filled the air. In just an instant, the golden light was close to Ye Chen's heart. Then, Ye Chen felt his vision turn black. All the chaos in the Chaotic Land had completely calmed down. The stone lock and thousands of chains had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
This coma seemed to have lasted for a long time, but also seemed to have lasted for just a moment.
"Break!"
Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and shot out his palms. His whole body flew high into the sky and he was gasping for breath.
His eyes swept around and the chaotic scene from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen. It was as if everything he had seen and heard a moment ago was just a dream.
"Could it be that all this was just a dream?"
Ye Chen stretched out his hand and touched his heart. There was still a strong pulsation, there was no difference, there was no golden light at all.
If there was a change, then Ye Chen's cultivation had successfully broken through to the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer. Moreover, he was not far from the Sixth Heavenly Layer. His progress was extremely gratifying.
However, Ye Chen didn't feel happy about the breakthrough in his cultivation.
He did not believe that the scene from a moment ago was just an illusion. When Ye Chen was staring at the golden heart, that kind of resonance, that kind of call from his mind, was so real. Also, that golden light that entered his heart must be hidden in some corner of his body.
"Such a mysterious vision, there must be a reason for its existence, but my current level is too low so I can't completely see through it."
Ye Chen whispered in his heart. At this time, his brows tightly wrinkled.
He looked to the side and heard a whistling sound. Soon after, a white-haired young man appeared in front of Ye Chen. His whole body was covered in cyan armor and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. His white hair was fluttering in the wind and he was exuding an incomparably fierce aura.
"Who are you? Why have you come to the forbidden area of my Divine Palace?"
As soon as the white-haired young man spoke, Ye Chen's eyes slightly froze. This place was the forbidden area of the Divine Palace?
Seeing that Ye Chen did not answer, the white-haired young man's eyes became colder and colder. His body began to exude an incomparably overbearing aura. Cyan winds, with him as the center, wantonly spread out in all directions. It seemed casual but had an extremely terrifying penetrating power.
"Answer my question!" The white-haired young man spoke again. This time, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
Ye Chen cupped his fists and lightly said: "Your Excellency, you misunderstood me. I'm just a rogue cultivator. I didn't know that this place was the forbidden area of the Divine Palace and I didn't want to offend you. Please forgive me."
"A rogue cultivator?"
The white-haired young man sneered when he heard this. His eyes fell on Ye Chen's storage ring and he said in an indifferent tone: "You're just at the Fifth Sky of Truth realm, but you're able to enter the forbidden area of my Divine Palace. You must have some unspeakable secrets. Now, I order you to immediately destroy your cultivation and wait for my punishment."
His words carried an air of arrogance, as if this white-haired youth was a high and mighty monarch, and Ye Chen was merely an ant crawling under his feet. His words were like an order, and Ye Chen had to follow them no matter what.
"I've already apologized. Your Excellency's action is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Ye Chen's eyes turned a bit colder.
"When the weak face the strong, they must obey. You're not qualified to say the word 'too much' to me."
A voice filled with mockery was spat out from the white-haired youth's mouth. Immediately, his figure flashed like the wind and instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen. His hand was already tightly gripping a longsword. He directly thrust it forward, causing an incomparably sharp Sword Qi to swirl up.
At this time, Ye Chen also knew that this white-haired young man was at the late stage of Truth Eighth Sky.
