Primordial Star Scripture

One day later.

Ye Chen was taken by the Treasure Cave Key and flew away from the first treasure site, entering the second stage of the life-and-death path checkpoint.

Standing in a vast expanse of amber-colored world, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile wryly.

It turned out that during the treasure hunt in the first site the day before, aside from finding the "Red Sun Crystal" and some "new insect eggs" in a little mound, he came up empty-handed for the rest of the time.

"The day of treasure hunting opportunity that I had earned by going through the 'Desert of Death' life-and-death road with immense difficulty is far from enough."

"After coming out from the small mound, I discovered four more treasure caves, but they were all empty, the treasures inside had long been taken by warriors who entered the Divine Heritage Cave before me. Later on, when I finally found some traces of treasures, I didn't even manage to locate the caves where these treasures were hidden before I was directly teleported out."

"It seems, to have another chance at treasure hunting, I must push through the second stage of the life-and-death road and gain access to the second treasure site."

Ye Chen sighed.

However, when his Divine Sense penetrated into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, and saw the to-be-hatched black-red insect eggs, the "Red Sun Crystal," and a bag of "Warmsun Sand" tucked in the corner of the pendant's space, Ye Chen couldn't help but nod and smile.

After all, although he didn't find anything later on, his initial gains were not too bad, and he didn't leave the treasure site empty-handed.

"Let's set aside the matter of treasures for now, it's more important to concentrate on getting through the second stage of the life-and-death road checkpoint."

The Divine Heritage Cave's three stages of life-and-death roads and three treasure sites, each hiding countless treasure caves.

This further the stage, the more dangerous the life-and-death road and the more precious the treasures within the treasure caves.

Having gone through nine terrible crises and massacres in the first stage of the life-and-death road, Ye Chen had come to realize just how perilous these checkpoints were, with the slightest carelessness leading to possible downfall.

With the beginning of the second stage of the life-and-death road imminent, Ye Chen naturally didn't dare to let his guard down or be distracted.

"The first stage of the life-and-death road was the 'Desert of Death' checkpoint, where the vast desert concealed various dangerous death traps. It remains to be seen what dangers the second stage of the life-and-death road holds."

Ye Chen looked up seriously to observe the new environment of this second stage of the life-and-death road he was just transported into, and scrutinized the directional guidance on the Treasure Cave Key.

After a long moment, Ye Chen took his first steps forward on this new journey of the life-and-death road. Discover stories with empire

The second stage of the life-and-death road did not prohibit flying.

However, Ye Chen didn't dare to fly at high speed in here, but moved forward carefully, inch by inch, and used instant spatial shifts with great caution.

After flying over six or seven miles, Ye Chen stopped in front of a green arc of light, his expression finally turning grave.

The green arc before him was hidden about fifteen or sixteen yards high in the void, a three-yard-long arc of light, looking much like a bridge of light in the void, seemingly dazzlingly beautiful.

But Ye Chen found not the slightest beauty in this arc of light!

That's because, when he passed the first arc of light earlier, Bing Shiyi from the nine Ice Guardians had alarmingly pointed out a yellow arc of light that was over eight yards long to Ye Chen, informing him of its danger.

At that time, Ye Chen learned that these arcs of light were none other than a deadly luminescence known as "Primordial Divine Light"!

According to Bing Shiyi, this "Primordial Divine Light" could only be refined by mighty beings above the True God of Six Tribulations.

This divine light could take various colors and shapes, even transforming into bizarre sudden bursts of light beams, and was often used to protect the forbidden treasure lands of True Gods.

The strength of the Primordial Divine Light's arcs and beams varied.

The weaker ones could kill those in the Spirit Sea Realm and the Rotating Pill Realm, and the stronger ones could even kill True Gods below Six Tribulations!

What terrified everyone the most was that no one knew where the "Primordial Divine Light" was hidden or when it would appear. If one inadvertently encountered a concealed, powerful "Primordial Divine Light," they would likely be slain before they could react!

When Bing Shiyi pointed out the first yellow arc of "Primordial Divine Light," Ye Chen had vaguely guessed that the death threats within the second life-and-death path were probably from these divine lights.

After traveling six or seven miles and encountering eight different-colored and different-shaped arcs, Ye Chen became even more certain of his conjecture.

The real danger indeed came from this Primordial Divine Light!

Although Ye Chen had not yet encountered any truly terrifying Primordial Divine Light, the newly emerged green arc alone, as Bing Shiyi had informed him, could instantly kill even a late-stage Heavenly Saint if touched unintentionally.

This naturally put Ye Chen on high alert!

These were only the Primordial Divine Lights he could see and detect; Ye Chen had no way of knowing whether he would encounter any concealed ones that were extremely difficult to detect, or any that could move and kill unexpectedly, or even ones that could kill True God level experts!

If he carelessly stumbled upon one without a way to defend or without noticing, he would absolutely take a nasty fall and might even lose his life!

While facing these Primordial Divine Lights and being extremely cautious, Ye Chen continued to fly forward.

In the second segment of the path of life and death, several other people were also on edge because of these Primordial Divine Lights.

About three thousand miles away from Ye Chen's position, in a certain territory, two late-stage Heavenly Saints—one fat and one thin—who had entered the Divine Heritage Cave were watching a blue ray suddenly shoot out three yards in front of them and halted in their tracks.

"Primordial Divine Light! This second segment's life-and-death path, the 'Primordial Divine Light' challenge, is indeed more dangerous than the first!"

"Had we not cultivated the 'Destruction Eye Skills,' we would not have noticed the hidden arc of light ahead, and that sudden blue ray would have surely killed us!"

The eyes of these two late-stage Heavenly Saints were simultaneously covered by a strange pale-grey light, which allowed them to see many hidden spatial fissures and beams of light in the air that other martial artists could not see through the pale-grey light.

This peculiar mystical power enveloping their eyes with pale-grey light was the special magical ability "Destruction Divine Eye" that the two Heavenly Saints had cultivated.

"Destruction Divine Eye"—the 'destruction' aspect allowed them to perceive many hidden things such as martial artists concealing themselves, hidden traps, and lethal lights like the ones they currently faced.

The 'extinguish' aspect was a powerful Divine Eye offensive technique, an attack spell that could directly shoot rays from the Divine Eye to obliterate an opponent's Divine Soul.

As Ye Chen had guessed when he encountered these two very different-looking late-stage Heavenly Saints in the Divine Transmission Hall, they indeed knew each other and had cultivated the same techniques. After being separated by being transported into the path of life and death, they managed to reunite.

It was by using the "Destruction Eye Skills" that these two had made it through more than half of the second segment of the life-and-death path, narrowly avoiding several lethal "Primordial Divine Light" attacks.

Elsewhere,

A green snake that was swimming through the air was struck by a green ray of light and instantly burst into surges of genuine Qi before transforming into a green flute.

At the same time, a young figure flew out directly from the green flute.

This young figure was none other than Ding Xiaojia, the young master from the Nine-Star Palace of the Jiumang Continent.

Ding Xiaojia looked at the green ray that had disappeared in an instant, his face paling: "This ray is too terrifying! It almost breached the defenses of my artifact, the 'Green Spirit Flute!'"

"The 'Green Spirit Flute' is a lower-tier divine artifact! With the 'Green Spirit Flute,' I managed to smoothly get through the first segment of the life-and-death path without facing any real threats!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I didn't expect that after being hit by five divine lights and divine arcs, my 'Green Spirit Flute' is almost unable to withstand anymore, and even the Divine Jade powering the 'Green Spirit Flute' has been depleted by half after just that momentary attack!"

"I don't have much Divine Jade left, and if it continues like this, I fear that after two more such blasts, my 'Green Spirit Flute' won't be able to defend at all!"

"With such a long way still to go on this second segment of the life-and-death path, what should I do? What should I do?"

Ding Xiaojia looked at the green flute in his hand and then at the still far-off end of the second segment of the life-and-death path, no longer daring to proceed.
