Chapter 3404: Chapter 3404: Land of the Ancient Era (Fifth Update)
"Brother Ye Chen, Sister Xue is in seclusion, Little Gold says we need to be on defense against enemy attacks, no one is around to play with me. I’m so bored. Where are you going to play? Can you take me?"
Xiao Bai ran up to Ye Chen, tugged at his arm, and said pitifully.
"We’re not going to play..."
Ye Chen chuckled wryly, shook his head, and was about to ask Xiao Bai to go back when suddenly his heart froze. He caught a faint trace of karma on Xiao Bai, seemingly connected to the ancient battlefield!
"Brother Ye Chen, take me along. I won’t be a bother."
Xiao Bai shook Ye Chen’s arm, pleading.
Ye Chen’s gaze tightened, silently puzzled, "How does Xiao Bai have karma from the ancient battlefield on her? That’s odd."
He couldn’t understand, but since Xiao Bai had significant karma, bringing her along might be fine.
"Alright, I can take you, but don’t run off."
Ye Chen pinched her cheek and smiled.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ye Chen."
Xiao Bai laughed cheerfully, her face full of joy.
Ye Chen nodded, immediately taking her small hand, fearing she’d run off causing trouble, constantly tearing through the Void to advance.
Soon, Ye Chen, Xiao Bai, You Ying Ghost Weasel, and Ye Lingtian arrived at Boundary City.
There were guards stationed at the gate of Boundary City. As Qing Qiuyun’s master and a guest of the Qing Family, having won the Pill Venerate Conference championship, if Ye Chen showed up, naturally no guard would dare stop him.
But Ye Chen didn’t want to expose his whereabouts. As soon as night fell, he activated the Darkest Divine Vein, hiding in the darkness, silently crossing the city walls, and stepping into Boundary City.
"Brother Ye Chen, where are we going?"
Xiao Bai tightly held Ye Chen’s hand. Seeing Ye Chen being so cautious, she felt incredibly tense and excited.
"Don’t speak, follow me."
Ye Chen gave her a glance, moving lightly along the path from his memory.
Throughout the journey, he didn’t alert anyone.
Returning to Boundary City, Ye Chen was tempted to visit the Qing Family, to see Qing Qiuyun, but thinking it over, the karma was settled, and it was unnecessary to stir up enmity, so he gathered himself, leading Xiao Bai and the others step by step toward the entrance to the ancient battlefield.
Soon, the four arrived at a remote, barren mountain.
On the barren mountain, there was a stone cave.
The four continuously descended underground along the stone cave.
The night shrouded in darkness, the cave was pitch-black, no light visible, deathly silent except for their footsteps and breathing.
Xiao Bai felt both scared and tense, her hands sweating, slightly regretting coming along.
"Scared?"
Ye Chen lightly laughed, summoning a spark of flames to disperse the darkness.
The firelight reflected on Xiao Bai’s face; her fair and tender face now showed a touch of panic and sweat.
"No."
Xiao Bai stubbornly denied feeling scared.
"Let’s go."
Ye Chen smiled slightly, pulling her as they continued to walk underground.
Finally, the four arrived at the bottom, where there was a very heavy stone door, carved with a relief.
Upon closer inspection, the relief depicted the Samsara Master and Ren Feifan fighting back to back, surrounded by countless fierce enemies.
Ye Chen’s heart skipped a beat, feeling the Heavenly Mechanism Fitting. Indeed, this was the ancient battlefield’s entrance. By opening this stone door, they could step into the battlefield to seek ancient traces.
"Sir, are the battlefield ruins behind this door?"
You Ying Ghost Weasel asked in a hushed voice, his hoarse tone adding a mysterious flavor in the silent underground.
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded lightly, stepped to the stone door, pressing his palms on it, and tried to push it open.
But the door was extremely heavy, and despite his efforts, it didn’t budge.
"Break!"
Ye Chen exhaled sharply, using the Destruction Divine Dao to emit terrifying destructive black light from his palms, attempting to brute force blast open the stone door.
Under the assault of Destruction Divine Dao, the door glowed with brilliant seal light, yet remained unmoved.
"Sir, let me try."
You Ying Ghost Weasel stepped forward, releasing a stream of Ghost Fire from his palms, pushing the Corrosion Law to its peak. But even under his corrosion aura, the stone door remained unflustered; the seal light still shone brightly.
"No, the seal here is too strong, nearly impossible to break through."
You Ying Ghost Weasel shook his head, feeling the door’s seal was extraordinarily solid, almost indestructible, making it difficult to break open.
Meanwhile, Ye Lingtian was knocking around the door area, hoping to find the mechanism to open it, but there was none, as the door was locked tight.
"Hall Master, what should we do?"
Ye Lingtian’s face darkened.
"Let me think."
Ye Chen’s expression was grave. Even the Destruction Divine Dao couldn’t open it, this door’s seal must be highly secure, not something brute force could destroy.
While Ye Chen pondered, the Samsara Graveyard emitted waves of Sword Sound.
The Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword was vibrating intensely.
Ye Chen’s eyes lit up, immediately summoning the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword. The sword flashed, autonomously flying and lodging itself in the door’s crevice.
Crack!
Suddenly, the door opened, releasing gray-black light before the four of them.
"Brother Ye Chen, it’s open!"
Xiao Bai said joyfully.
The Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword turned out to be the "key" to opening the door!
"Let’s go in and take a look."
Ye Chen didn’t hesitate, stepping through the stone door into the interior world.
Xiao Bai, You Ying Ghost Weasel, and Ye Lingtian followed closely behind him.
This stone door entrance might have been arranged by Ren Feifan himself. The ancient battlefield nearly cost him his life.
It’s where he overcame life and death, and comprehended the path.
He didn’t want the battlefield’s traces to be buried by time, so he applied some means to preserve it entirely, leaving an entrance for future remembrance.
The four stepped through the entrance, immediately smelling a stench of blood.
In front stretched a gray, dim world.
The sky above was filled with cloudy dark clouds.
Lonely crows, solitary vultures circled the sky, occasionally letting out cawing sounds.
The ground was strewn with countless corpses, densely packed.
Endless years of erosion rendered these bodies dry, yet their skeletons remained, not completely reduced to ash, clearly protected by special means.
Even the place still carried a faint scent of blood.
Smelling the blood, Ye Chen’s thoughts seemed to return to the ancient world of battle, filled with the clash of swords, the blast of magic treasures, awe-inspiring.
He surveyed the surroundings, corpses everywhere, broken swords and knives, countless remains of magic treasures.
It was obvious this place had seen fierce war, the slaughter was brutal, with numerous casualties.
And a total sense of unease started stirring within him.
This place is probably dangerous!
