Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1385 - 1235: The Other It

"Later, stop. Below, an extremely dangerous place!"

The Ancient Stele is immortal, with powerful principles flowing within it. However, what shocked Ye Chen even more was the line inscribed on the stele, naturally in ancient script, yet its waves were the same, allowing him to understand the true content.

The one who left the stele was undoubtedly a supreme powerhouse, immensely powerful. The Daoist Rules inscribed remain undiminished even after countless years, enabling one to sense the strength of its creator, at least an Ancient Great Power or perhaps even stronger.

Yet, such a supreme powerhouse left such inscriptions, warning those who come later not to venture below.

This left Ye Chen wondering what secrets the cavern below held, to instill such fear in even a supreme powerhouse, necessitating the warning.

Among them, bubbles full of vitality constantly emerge; they could possibly be the true source of the Undying Divine Spring. He could not possibly stop, as the hope of reviving Yu Qing lies below.

Naturally, he made every preparation, with the Human Emperor Tower emerging from the top of his skull, floating above his head, and the Desolate Great Halberd appearing in his hand.

Two Supreme Emperor Weapons protecting him were enough to safeguard him.

He descended through the cavern, reaching the tenth layer of the underground lake.

Cautiously, he scanned all around; while no immediate danger appeared, he had an intuition that this place might be perilous, a heedlessness would be disastrous.

Ye Chen opened the Heavenly Eye, but the tenth layer of the underground lake was extremely unique, capable of blocking probing gazes. Strong as Ye Chen was, he couldn't see the full panorama; reaching a certain range impeded his vision.

Moreover, the tenth layer of the underground lake was exceptionally vast, larger than all the nine layers above combined. Ye Chen descended over a thousand zhang yet hadn't reached the bottom, and he found it challenging to see the surrounding environment, cloaked in deep darkness.

Nonetheless, Ye Chen inferred the true location of the spring eye by deducing the direction where the bubbles ascended.

As he gradually sank, he abruptly saw a monumental object lying atop the lake bed—immense beyond description, more majestic than mountain ranges.

Upon closer inspection, his pupils shrank instantly.

Because this was not a mountain range at the lake bed, but a massive Starry Sky Giant Beast that had reached maturity, its body more enormous than stars, stretching over ten thousand li—astonishingly gigantic—yet lay motionless, its vitality completely extinct, leaving just a carcass, causing his heart to skip.

A mature Starry Sky Giant Beast, at least comparable to an Ancient Great Power, with such size rendering it unimaginably strong, now silently obliterated in the depths of the tenth underground lake, how could one not be alarmed?

Meanwhile, Ye Chen gradually adapted to the tenth underground lake. His eyes penetrating further, upon reaching the tenth layer, he couldn't help but gasp.

The tenth underground lake was exceedingly vast, unlike imagined, akin to a world thoroughly submerged in water, its end invisible.

The dark lake bed lay strewn with numerous carcasses, such as this corpse even larger than stars, resembling the Starry Sky Giant Beast. Some were smaller, humanoid, recognizable as Primordial Ancient Beasts, Alien Races, and some unknown beings, quite unique, differing greatly from known understandings.

Yet undeniably, each carcass at the lake bed had been incredibly powerful in life, retaining a trace of supreme Qi Mechanism even after their vitality was extinguished, attesting to their strength when alive.

But who knows how many powerful creatures' carcasses densely fill the lake bed of the tenth underground lake, which all made Ye Chen feel eerily unsettling.

Why are so many powerful beings' carcasses amassed here, mirroring the scene from the Sea Eye World in the Chaos Sea within the Divine Realm encountered within the Ancient Emperor Realm?

What is the reason behind all this?

Did the mysterious supreme powerhouse's declaration on the stele—of an extremely dangerous place—refer to this? A terrifying creature hidden within the tenth underground lake?

With the Human Emperor Tower above his head and Desolate Great Halberd in his hand, Ye Chen's Divine Power within quietly surged, vigilant against the potential emergence of danger in the tenth underground lake.

How did these powerful beings perish, all gathered here in the tenth underground lake, obliging Ye Chen to be extraordinarily cautious, as it possibly pertained to his survival?

But as he proceeded, everything remained calm, no genuine crisis emerged; however, Ye Chen never abandoned his vigilance, for everything seemed too mysterious, forcing him to be alert to all of it.

Rustle—

Suddenly, Ye Chen heard a peculiar sound, a sound like chains, similar to the Sea Eye World in the Chaos Sea, possibly indicating some special connection?

At that moment, Ye Chen gazed afar, the Heavenly Eye perceiving further distances, seeing a colossal silhouette gradually emerge, larger than the Starry Sky Giant Beast, even surpassing the Boundary Beast guarding the Tongxuan Ancient Sect in the Divine Realm of the Ancient Emperor Realm—its true size utterly indiscernible.

Its body entwined with chains as grand as mountains, formed by interwoven supreme Dao Runes and Dao Traces, crisscrossing to completely bind this terrifying existence within the tenth underground lake, or rather confine it to this lake-bed world.

Ye Chen's expression drastically changed, as this scene mirrored the Sea Eye World's exact likeness.

Moreover, he could feel the immense power emanating from this vast silhouette was exceptionally formidable; even when bound by Dao Chains, it was still overwhelmingly potent, as if capable of annihilating all heavens.

King!

At least a King Realm, akin to the Sea Eye World.

Could the supreme powerhouse who left the stele's declaration of an extremely dangerous place be referring to this King Realm-like terrifying existence mirroring the Sea Eye World?

Suddenly, the terrifying existence opened its giant purple eyes, larger than stars, looking directly at Ye Chen. An incalculable oppressive force swept forth, causing Ye Chen to feel as though his Combat Saint Body might burst open.

Too terrifying!

Buzz—

Human Emperor Tower descended with ten thousand layers of Chaotic Ancient Qi, Desolate Great Halberd trembled slightly, a sudden burst of golden light, passively awakening to resist the fierce beast's pressure.

Only then did Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief, yet the vast oppressive force remained, difficult to obliterate.

The monstrous beast looked down at Ye Chen, unexpectedly speaking coldly: "Human Clan boy, have you been to the depths of the Sea Eye World in the Sealing Universe Saint Emperor Realm?"

Ye Chen's scalp went numb, shockingly looking at it, saying: "Could you be—"

"Indeed, I am another of it!" The monstrous fierce beast spoke this way, its voice shaking the tenth underground lake, causing tremors in the silt, clouding the entire lake-bed world of the tenth layer.
