Primordial Star Scripture

The second segment of the Path of Life and Death, where Ye Chen was flying.

Just as Ding Xiaojia hesitated, not daring to move forward, Ye Chen also encountered his first brush with death on the second segment of the Path of Life and Death.

Twenty-some li into his flight on the second segment of the Path of Life and Death, suddenly, a stream of purple "Primordial Divine Light" appeared out of nowhere and brutally struck at Ye Chen, who was carefully navigating the skies.

While flying, Ye Chen had already spread the defensive mist of the "Purple Mist True Garment" around a radius of ten zhang from his body, always alert for any unusual movements in his surroundings.

What Ye Chen was specifically on guard for were those unexposed bursts of "Primordial Divine Light" that could suddenly assault him!

When this stream of purple "Primordial Divine Light" appeared out of thin air and abruptly attacked, it pierced through the defense of the Purple Mist True Garment in an instant.

Ye Chen, who was always on guard, tensed to the extreme in a split second.

The Purple Mist True Garment, a lower-grade Divine Artifact for defense, was unable to block the blow from the purple "Primordial Divine Light"!

When the "Primordial Divine Light" broke through the Purple Mist True Garment's defense, attacking right in front of Ye Chen, it was already too late for him to escape. There was only one method left for him to use.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Ye Chen, who was flying through the air, suddenly disappeared, and the entire void was left with only a snow-white jade pendant hanging in mid-air.

This snow-white jade pendant was none other than the Ice Snow Jade Pendant containing nine Ice Guardians!

The Ice Snow Jade Pendant, a legacy of the Ice King, was a superior-grade Divine Artifact. Faced with the unstoppable and unevadable purple "Primordial Divine Light," Ye Chen had no choice but to rely on the Ice Snow Jade Pendant to resist!

Initially, in these three great unknown territories full of mystery, Ye Chen was reluctant to expose the powerful treasure he possessed, the Ice Snow Jade Pendant. However, now facing a life-and-death crisis with no other means of defense, Ye Chen had no choice but to use it!

The moment Ye Chen entered into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, the purple "Primordial Divine Light" struck the pendant a moment later.

The purple "Primordial Divine Light," which the Purple Mist True Garment couldn't defend against at all, was obliterated the instant it touched the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, leaving not even the slightest scratch.

As the purple "Primordial Divine Light" was extinguished and tranquility returned to heaven and earth, Ye Chen emerged from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant once again, noting that the pendant was completely undamaged, which left him with a deep sense of relief.

"Superior-grade Divine Artifact, indeed it is! Without great fortune, such treasures could only be possessed by mighty deities or kings who have survived the eight or nine tribulations!"

"The Ice Snow Jade Pendant is merely a superior-grade spatial Divine Artifact, and its defensive capability is so powerful!"

"If it were a superior-grade offensive Divine Artifact, perhaps traversing these three great territories wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

After reflecting, Ye Chen shook his head with a smile.

Having obtained a superior-grade spatial Divine Artifact left by a divine king was already an incredibly lucky feat, let alone fantasizing about a superior-grade offensive Divine Artifact was indeed too much to hope for.

Ye Chen's gaze returned to the immeasurable stretch of the second segment of the Path of Life and Death that laid ahead.

"This segment of the passage, the Primordial Divine Light, is truly unavoidable."

"I fear only those with great strength or powerful Divine Arts can make it through this Path of Life and Death. With my current mid-Rotating Pill cultivation and several Divine Arts not fully mastered, relying on my own strength to make it through is somewhat beyond me."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Since the Ice Snow Jade Pendant has been used, let's continue with this artifact until the end of this Path of Life and Death before putting it away!"

With that thought, Ye Chen stopped wasting time.

With a determination of his mind, he flew back into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

The next moment, the palm-sized chunk of snow-white jade pendant transformed into a point of sparkling light and bolted forward at an inconceivable speed along the Path of Life and Death.

Now that he was truly utilizing a superior-grade Divine Artifact, Ye Chen had enough confidence that the defenses of a superior-grade Divine Artifact could not be breached by anything in these three great territories, not even the "Primordial Divine Light" from the Five Elements Mountain level.

No matter how formidable those "Primordial Divine Light" bursts were, they could not penetrate the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

In such a scenario, Ye Chen certainly wouldn't continue flying cautiously. His speed surged tremendously.

In just a short time, Ye Chen had already rocketed hundreds of li!

During this process, the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, which had transformed into a point of glistening light, encountered several more attacks from "Primordial Divine Light."

As a result, the majority of the "Primordial Divine Light" didn't even manage to strike the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, instantly being deflected by it. Even the minimal amount of the Primordial Divine Light that did hit the pendant was immediately extinguished by it, without the Ice Snow Jade Pendant's speed being reduced in the slightest.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chen now had absolute confidence that he could pass through this second segment of the Path of Life and Death!

Whoosh!

A point of brilliant light twinkled intensely as it glided through the second segment of the Path of Life and Death.

No one knew that within this light hid Ye Chen, as well as nine great ice-bound guards.

Nor did they know that this point of brilliant light was in fact transformed from a superior space Divine Artifact.

The point darted about.

The point twinkled intensely.

Within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, Ye Chen felt the peculiar sensation of flight, the special feeling of traveling through the Path of Life and Death, and in that moment, he had an epiphany.

The Path of Life and Death is only such in the face of the weak; to the powerful, this so-called Path of Life and Death might be as insignificant as the flight of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, leisurely ignored and instantly traversed!

On one side was the nerve-wracking, cautious flight; and on the other, a sudden sense of security. This contrast gave Ye Chen, in the midst of his epiphany inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, a surge of Qi within his body.

Within the Qi Sea, shrouded by the starry mist, the three hundred seventy-two Five Apertures Rotating Pills experienced a sudden increase of twenty-four during this moment of epiphany, leaping to three hundred and ninety-six!

Epiphanies are encountered by chance, not sought after.

Ye Chen never expected to have such a momentary epiphany in the middle of this second segment of the Path of Life and Death.

Of course, the epiphany was fleeting; Ye Chen could no longer enter that strange state which caused his Five Apertures Rotating Pills to surge in a blink, induced by stellar mist.

Seeing that he couldn't re-enter this peculiar state, Ye Chen simply smiled.

He continued forward on the second segment of the Path of Life and Death, controlling the flight of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant while looking around.

Even without an epiphany, experiencing this Path of Life and Death was quite the feeling indeed.

...

Tens of miles ahead of Ye Chen, Ding Xiaojia stood still with an incredibly troubled expression, his teleportation having placed him right in Ye Chen's path.

"What to do? What to do?!"

"Neither advancing nor retreating is an option!"

"Could it be that I, Ding Xiaojia, will perish in this second segment of the Path of Life and Death?!"

Ding Xiaojia had already been bombarded several times by the "Primordial Divine Light" and dared not continue onwards through this second segment of the Path of Life and Death.

But staying within this segment of the Path of Life and Death meant that once time was up, he would be directly annihilated by the Divine Heritage Cave.

Experience tales with empire

In desperation, Ding Xiaojia once again activated the Green Spirit Flute to venture forward, but then, just before, a sudden blast of the "Primordial Divine Light" struck the Green Spirit Flute, creating three fissures and draining the Divine Jade that powered the flute in a moment of defense.

This unexpected turn of events terrified Ding Xiaojia to the point where he dared not take another step forward!

Ding Xiaojia had already been in that place for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

His complexion grew paler and uglier by the minute, but without the protection of the Green Spirit Flute, he dared not move at all.

Ding Xiaojia was filled with regret for not heeding his father's advice, insisting on bringing many treasures to challenge Five Elements Mountain, to this Divine Heritage Cave!

Just as Ding Xiaojia was losing hope, he suddenly saw an extremely bright point of light speeding towards him.

Ding Xiaojia instinctively tried to dodge, but found that the ultimate point of light stopped abruptly when it was just over three feet in front of him, and then a young figure flew out from the point of light.

Upon seeing this young figure, Ding Xiaojia exclaimed in shock.

This youth, was none other than Ye Chen, who had entered the Divine Heritage Cave just before him. Who else could it be?!
