Primordial Star Scripture

Through the Little Demon Insect of the Black-Boned Bug that Ye Chen had captured earlier, he had already learned that the two types of lethal life forms in the second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace were the "Black Armored Beast" clan and the "Black-Boned Bug" clan.

As for the Black Armored Beast clan, the strongest among them was at the First Tribulation True God level.

And the Black-Boned Bug clan, according to the Little Demon Insect, had its strongest only at the Two Tribulations True God level.

Ye Chen, of course, had not the slightest fear of such levels!

Let alone ten thousand murderous Black-Boned Bugs scattered throughout the vast second level realm, which made it difficult to encounter a large number at once, even if all these Black-Boned Bugs came at Ye Chen together, he would not be afraid.

In Ye Chen's hands was a large-range attack artifact—the Thunder Gourd, eliminating Two Tribulations True God-level Black-Boned Bugs as easily as killing chickens!

With a calm heart, Ye Chen continued to fly forward, exploring as he went.

The True God Du Ling and the Heavenly Saints following Ye Chen, however, were constantly on pins and needles, afraid that they might carelessly suffer a sneak attack and perish at the hands (or mandibles) of the Black-Boned Bugs.

However, when they encountered several sneak attacks by Black-Boned Bugs in succession, Ye Chen finally took action and completely annihilated these attacking bugs, which finally put True God Du Ling and the Heavenly Saints at ease.

They knew that they had followed the right person this time.

This young Heavenly Saint, Ye Chen, had an inconceivably strong power. With Ye Chen leading them through the second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, there clearly wouldn't be any problems!

Suddenly, many Heavenly Saints, even True God Du Ling himself, gathered around Ye Chen, lavishing him with praise and adoration.

But Ye Chen didn't feel even the slightest bit of pride or concern for the fawning of these Heavenly Saints and True God Du Ling.

He would not follow in the footsteps of Heavenly Saint Liao Hua, who succumbed to pride and perished without even knowing how he died. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Ye Chen constantly reminded himself that he was still traversing the Undersea Divine Palace; he had to find the "Eye of Creation" and the "Eye of the Divine Sea" as soon as possible, in addition to locating the True Phoenix Jiang Yao, Mu Lan True God, and some other familiar Heavenly Saints he could possibly look after.

But to Ye Chen's disappointment, after leading these Heavenly Saints and True God Du Ling through a large expanse of territory, they didn't find even the faintest trace of the "Eye of Creation" or the "Eye of the Divine Sea," which were revealed in the Jade Slip.

Even after spending nearly ten days, almost completely scouring the entire second layer, they came up empty-handed.

Even after encountering many warriors within this folded space, they neither discovered any familiar faces nor heard any news of the "Eye of Creation" or the "Eye of the Divine Sea" from these warriors, which greatly disappointed Ye Chen.

Finally, when Ye Chen stopped beside a revealed passage leading to the third layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, he let out a sigh, "The second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace is still too shallow, not very challenging, and yields almost no gain. We didn't even see any of the treasures or unusual places within the palace."

"It seems, just as the Jade Slip indicated, that the farther down one goes into the Undersea Divine Palace, the more challenging and wondrous it becomes. The 'Eye of Creation' and the 'Eye of the Divine Sea' are very likely in the deeper levels of the palace."

"Looks like it's time to head for the third layer of the Undersea Divine Palace!"

The Undersea Divine Palace, consisting of thirty-three levels, gave Ye Chen just one year to find the "Eye of Creation" and the "Eye of the Divine Sea." Naturally, he wouldn't want to waste too much time on this second layer!

Preparing to go to the third layer, Ye Chen looked back at the warriors following him.

At this moment, the number of warriors following Ye Chen had swelled to several hundreds, including several more First Tribulation True Gods among them.

As for others not present, they, like Ye Chen and his group, were countless Heavenly Saints and lower-ranking True Gods, following behind the strong True Gods, searching together through the Undersea Divine Palace.

Ye Chen, looking at the several hundred warriors behind him, spoke out, "Fellow Daoists, I am ready to proceed to the third layer. When going to the third layer, we will be transported again into different locations of folded space, and the chances of us meeting again will be slim. I, Ye Chen, hereby bid farewell to all fellow Daoists in advance."

Hearing that Ye Chen was going to the third layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, the Heavenly Saints and First Tribulation True Gods behind him became jittery and hesitant.

While they wanted to continue delving deeper in the hopes of discovering the "Eye of Creation" and the "Eye of the Divine Sea" which could ensure their escape from this great cleansing tribulation, they also feared encountering greater dangers below.

If they met dangers they couldn't withstand in the next layer without Ye Chen's powerful protection, then they might not even have a chance to flee for their lives.

Looking at these hesitant warriors, Ye Chen chuckled and took strides toward the passage leading to the third layer of the Undersea Divine Palace.

Regardless of whether these people chose to go to the third layer or not, Ye Chen wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

He had to move on to the next layer!

And even deeper into the layers of the Undersea Divine Palace!

Ye Chen would not sit waiting for death.

It wasn't just about the "Eye of Creation;" even if he found one or two Eye of Creation artifacts, he would continue to delve deeper. One or two Eye of Creation artifacts were simply not enough for the survival of those around him!

Whoosh.

As Ye Chen entered the passage, a flash of light later, he arrived directly at the third level of the Undersea Divine Palace.

After Ye Chen had completely disappeared from the second level, many of the warriors who were still hesitating clenched their teeth and said, "We've only made it to the second level, we can't stop now. If the third level proves too dangerous, we can still use the passage to return to the second level. If we just hide on the second level, then after a year, the great cleansing tribulation will utterly annihilate the Heavenly Saints and True Gods, and without the 'Eye of Creation' and 'Eye of the Divine Sea,' we will also lose our lives outright!"

"Let's go for it!"

"Continue to the third level and see!"

In the midst of their conversation, these warriors also flew into the passage one after another, eventually disappearing.

In the end, there were only a few individuals left hesitating, churning with reluctance, afraid to continue venturing downward.

The third level of the Undersea Divine Palace.

This was a world densely covered with jungle, and as soon as Ye Chen teleported in, he found himself in a thick forest.

Within this dense forest were gigantic trees and vines everywhere. Some of the trees had leaves that were even bigger than a house, and the grass on the ground was exceptionally lush.

From time to time, one could also see an assortment of uniquely shaped flowers with fragrant scents along the path.

After entering such a densely vegetated world, Ye Chen became even more cautious in his heart.

With countless trees, countless vines, and countless branches blocking the way, one could never know where dangers lay hidden.

This was yet another new world, facing a new threat of slaughter. Ye Chen, who knew nothing about this place, of course had to be extremely careful!

Like in the second level of the Undersea Divine Palace, Ye Chen flew forward while on high alert, using his Divine Sense and detection treasures to scrutinize everything.

"Hm, someone?" After flying for a short while, Ye Chen suddenly heard sharp, piercing screams from ahead, along with numerous shouts of alarm.

Ye Chen's Divine Sense immediately probed towards the source of the sounds.

Although this jungle world greatly interfered with his Divine Sense, Ye Chen's Divine Soul had undergone specialized training in the Heavenly Saint Realm and had grown much stronger. Even though it was still greatly affected, within a ten-li radius, he could still discern everything clearly.

When Ye Chen's Divine Sense focused toward the source of the sounds, he saw a scene that was both shocking and thrilling.

The shock came when Ye Chen saw, on a patch of open ground in the jungle ahead, beside the path were five gargantuan plants in the shape of flowers. At that moment, the five massive flowers were actually attacking five of the dozens of people on the open ground.

When Ye Chen probed with his Divine Sense, he directly saw five Heavenly Saints wrapped by these huge flowers, with half their bodies engulfed within the petals, only their lower halves exposed.

Moreover, the lower halves of these five Heavenly Saints were continually being enveloped by the flowers, dragging them into the petals' interior.

From a distance, it looked as if the flowers were consuming these Heavenly Saints!

It wasn't just a semblance. When Ye Chen's Divine Sense probed inside the flowers, he saw that it was a real act of swallowing!

These flowers were actually a species of "Man-eating Flowers"!

The petals and stamens inside were like grinding disks, continuously shredding the flesh of the Heavenly Saints that had been wrapped inside. Large patches of blood were flowing out from within the petals.

The earlier screams were indeed from the five Heavenly Saints who were being devoured and dragged into the petals.

The shouts of alarm were from the other people nearby!

In addition to the shock of the "Man-eating Flowers" being able to devour even Heavenly Saints, what delighted Ye Chen was that he finally saw someone he knew all too well in the distance.

Heavenly Saint Long Xuan!

It was indeed the strongest figure from the thirteen countries of the south of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, who had reached the middle stage of Heavenly Saint Realm.

At that moment, dressed in a yellow robe, with a fiery red mark between her brows and a face fair and pure, Heavenly Saint Long Xuan was casting fire magic, joining forces with several other dozens of warriors to attack the five "Man-eating Flowers" that were devouring the Heavenly Saints.

Even though these dozens of warriors were all Heavenly Saints, and among them were a few late-stage Heavenly Saints, they were helpless against those five Man-eating Flowers.

Even more so, upon seeing that in almost the blink of an eye, the five Heavenly Saints who had earlier been attacked by the gigantic Man-eating Flowers were completely devoured, leaving no trace of life, and those five enormous Man-eating Flowers, seemingly unsatiated, launched another lightning-quick attack on the people, causing all the Heavenly Saints to be so frightened that they instantly retreated.

And then, something even more unbelievable happened.

Around these Man-eating Flowers, countless gigantic trees, vines, and grasses seemed to "come to life," all moving wildly and launching frenzied attacks toward the dozens of warriors who were now surrounded by them.

One particular blade of grass, which was originally only a few feet long, suddenly grew to dozens of feet in an instant, like an awe-inspiring green ribbon, and in a flash wrapped around Heavenly Saint Long Xuan who was among the crowd!
