Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen certainly didn't know that within the Divine Kingdoms of the higher planes, some great beings were already aware of the impending massive cleansing catastrophe set to befall the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents.

Even less could Ye Chen imagine that this figure, one whom even Divine Venerable Hong Zhu treated with utmost reverence, was silently watching him, awaiting the outcome of the massive cleansing catastrophe.

Wrapped in the surging red light that the power of the Northern Dark Ocean had stirred, Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, True Phoenix, Mu Lan True God, Palace Master Yuan Li, and others had disappeared from the territory of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent one moment, and in the next, they had abruptly arrived above an unimaginably vast crater.

No, it wasn't a crater, but the Northern Dark Ocean after the waters had receded!

For Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and everyone else saw below them a sprawling expanse of enormous palace complexes descending layer upon layer. Even though Ye Chen's divine sense could now cover hundreds of miles, he couldn't entirely take in these palaces, only sensing that some levels of palaces at the deepest part dipped into a region of darkness impenetrable to divine sense.

Even without being able to completely survey the layers of palaces within the Divine Sea, Ye Chen understood that these were undoubtedly the thirty-three levels of the Undersea Divine Palace, revealed after the waters of the Northern Dark Ocean had receded, as mentioned by the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan.

It was the very Undersea Divine Palace where all Heavenly Saints and True Gods would undergo the great cleansing catastrophe.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and the others were observing the endless, descending layers of the enormous Undersea Divine Palace, the entire palace complex emitted an incomparable crimson radiance. With a sweep of the light, Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and the others were directly drawn into the first level of the Undersea Divine Palace.

After a slight dizziness, when Ye Chen's consciousness cleared, he found himself within an immensely large palace.

This immense palace, with its ceiling above, was carved with countless strange figures of mythical creatures, humans, spiritual insects, dark demons, and even some bizarre creatures that Ye Chen couldn't even guess the species of.

Jiang Yao, True Phoenix, Mu Lan True God, Palace Master Yuan Li, and other Heavenly Saints True Gods, who were taken from Qingyang Town alongside Ye Chen, were now by his side.

Ye Chen also saw that countless individuals had already appeared in the vast palace, and amid the fluctuations of illusory shadows, more and more figures continued to materialize.

All of these arriving figures were unmistakably from the Heavenly Saint Realm and the True God Realm.

In just an instant, the vast hall was filled with hundreds of thousands of figures.

Among these hundreds of thousands, there were seven to eight thousand True Gods alone!

Clearly, these figures were the countless powerhouses from the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents brought here by the cleansing catastrophe of the Northern Dark Ocean.

Such an assembly of powerhouses, especially with seven to eight thousand True Gods gathered in one place, was an event that the entire Minor Spirit Realm had not seen for tens of thousands of years.

But at this moment, no one felt the slightest excitement; all faces were horror-stricken, and even the True Gods were no exception.

For everyone knew that they were now caught in the midst of the great cleansing catastrophe.

Their prospects for life and death were unpredictable.

"Is this really the first level of the 'Undersea Divine Palace' of the 'Northern Dark Ocean'?!"

"Heavens, we've actually been brought here, truly drawn into the great cleansing catastrophe!"

Many of the Heavenly Saint True Gods cried out in alarm upon appearing in this hall.

Others, however, remained silent with grave expressions, their eyes frantically scanning around, evidently contemplating strategies in their minds.

These Heavenly Saint True Gods clustered together in groups, and from the distribution of these clusters, it was evident that their positions differed based on the different realms from which they had been brought.

One could distinctly feel that there were several groups where the concentration of powerhouses was the greatest.

These were the groups of the five great ancient clans within the Minor Spirit Realm that remained after the Divine Phoenix Clan was overrun.

The five great ancient clans were the Yan Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, Flying Spirit Clan, Beiming Clan, and Blood God Clan.

Each group was crowded with seven to eight hundred, or even more than a thousand True Gods, and tens of thousands from the Heavenly Saint Realm. Had the great hall not been large enough, it could not possibly have contained so many powerful beings.

Besides the five great ancient clans, the other circles with strong auras converging together belonged to the countless forces of the Minor Spirit Realm.

Although these countless forces could not rival the five great ancient clans with an incredible number of True Gods and Heavenly Saints, they were still numerous in power and also had True Gods among them, presenting a similarly formidable aura.

In comparison, the martial artists from the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm seemed much weaker in strength.

All the martial artists present were from the Heavenly Saint Realm and the True God Realm. Despite the large number of powerful individuals scattered across the vast hall, their divine senses were sharp enough to clearly discern each circle.

Many people from the same realm gathered together, while at the same time, everyone was observing each other.

Ye Chen, holding Jiang Yao's hand, stood together with True Phoenix, Mu Lan True God, Palace Master Yuan Li, Palace Master Mu Yao, and many others from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, surrounded by countless Heavenly Saints.

With a sweep of Ye Chen's divine sense, he immediately saw the circles of the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan in the grand hall.

The martial artists from the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan were all gathered together.

As Ye Chen's divine sense reached out, the nine-tribulation True Gods, the old clan leaders of the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan, seemed to sense something and turned their divine gazes sharply towards him.

Boom!

Seeing one's enemy brought a surge of resentment.

If it were not for the current grave crisis where everyone's lives were at stake, and everyone needed to work together to search for the Sea God's Eye to save their lives, the old clan leaders of the Vermilion Bird and Flying Spirit Clans might have even launched an attack to kill Ye Chen on the spot!

Even when it was inconvenient to take action, these two old clan leaders, upon setting their divine gazes upon Ye Chen, directly sent him a telepathic message, "Hmph, Ye Chen, you brat, looks like your nine-tribulation True God ally can't make it to the Undersea Divine Palace this time, can they?"

"Without a nine-tribulation True God's assistance, let's see how you withstand our killing blow!"

"Don't think that we will let you go; killing you won't affect our search for the Divine Sea's Eye and the Eye of Fortune. When the opportunity arises, be ready to die!"

The old clan leaders of the Vermilion Bird Clan and Flying Spirit Clan did not hide their murderous intent towards Ye Chen in their telepathic messages!

Especially the old clan leader of the Flying Spirit Clan—hundreds of True Gods from his clan had fallen at the hands of Bing Yi under Ye Chen's command, and his beloved son, the Young Clan Leader of the Flying Spirit Clan, had met his demise. The enormous loss had greatly weakened his clan. How could he possibly let go of Ye Chen?!

If it were not for the presence of the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, he might have been unable to restrain himself from attacking Ye Chen right then!

The actions of the old clan leaders of the Vermilion Bird Clan and Flying Spirit Clan had long been under the watchful eye of many.

As they saw the gaze of both old clan leaders turn toward Ye Chen, many in the hall looked at him, wondering why this young man in the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm had caught the special attention of both old clan leaders.

They were unaware of the murderous intent hidden deep in the eyes of the two clan leaders, and the overt murderous intent in their messages to Ye Chen!
