Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 908 - 858: Explosive Purple Silver Beads (2nd Update)

When all the challengers originally in the Yellow Light Danger Zone were swept into the Red Light Death Zone by the purple storm, the Yellow Light Danger Zone gradually returned to tranquility.

After a long while.

Some challengers who had been in the Green Light Safe Zone finally ventured back into the Yellow Light Danger Zone.

Upon entering, these challengers were instantly stunned.

Because, the entire Yellow Light Danger Zone was eerily quiet, devoid of a single figure!

"Where is everyone?"

"Weren't there thousands of people who entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone earlier? Why is there not a single soul now?"

These newly arrived challengers explored the Yellow Light Danger Zone extensively but saw no traces of anyone. The only people they encountered were also newcomers to the Yellow Light Danger Zone.

The thousands of people who had entered before them had completely vanished without a trace.

This left the new arrivals feeling a chill down their spines.

The previous entrants—did they all disappear?

Or could it be that they had all perished within the Yellow Light Danger Zone?

That couldn't be right.

The new arrivals were well aware that among the thousands who had previously entered the Yellow Light Danger Zone, there were formidable individuals such as Lin Shan, Sima Liao, and Ye Chen.

It was impossible that all of them, including someone of Lin Shan's level, fell simultaneously.

If that were true.

That would be terrifying!

Standing amidst the eerie silence of the Yellow Light Danger Zone, the newly arrived challengers were completely in the dark about what had transpired and felt a cold dread creeping up their hearts.

Some even turned around and fled back toward the Green Light Safe Zone.

The Yellow Light Danger Zone was far too sinister; they dared not linger.

The disappearance of the earlier entrants indeed sent shockwaves of terror through the later arrivals.

Meanwhile, those thousands who had disappeared were no longer concerned with any other zones. Forced by circumstance, they had already fallen into the most perilous region of the entire Sea of Mist and Wind—the "Red Light Death Zone"!

These people vividly recalled the chilling voice from when they first arrived in the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain, which warned that the Red Light Death Zone was absolutely forbidden: entering it was as good as certain death.

They hadn't intended to enter, of course.

But they were swept into the Red Light Death Zone by the sudden eruption of an endless purple storm, left without any choice!

Now, having entered the Red Light Death Zone, the thousands of people finally understood why it was dubbed the "Death Zone."

The moment they were swept into the Red Light Death Zone's ocean, although the sinister purple storm vanished, everyone immediately sensed much greater restrictions than they had in the Yellow Light Danger Zone!

Not only did their Divine Power deteriorate drastically, causing their combat capacity to drop multiple levels, their Divine Sense exploration range shrank, and even their flying speed became much slower.

But what was even more horrifying—this Red Light Death Zone contained an unknown special force that pulled everyone downward toward the ocean floor.

No one could resist this downward force!

Not even Lin Shan, Sima Liao, or Ye Chen!

Moreover, this downward force was even more dreadful than the pulling power of the earlier purple storm.

As the relentless descent dragged on, some Divine Kings—unable to endure the immense pulling force—were directly torn apart into pieces, dying instantly within the Red Light Death Zone!

Adding to the horror, countless Purple Silver Beads existed in this Red Light Death Zone, but these beads weren't like those in the Yellow Light Danger Zone, which were easier to collect.

In the Red Light Death Zone, every Purple Silver Bead moved at incomprehensible speeds.

They were frantically shooting across like projectiles!

Initially, the challengers felt unaffected by these rapidly flying beads, unable to collect them and unaware of their threat.

But when the beads started speeding directly toward them, the challengers—pulled downward by the immense force—found it impossible to dodge the explosive projectiles. And tragedies began to unfold.

Some challengers who didn't succumb to the downward pulling force were instead pierced through by the explosive Purple Silver Beads. Some were pierced hundreds of times, turning their bodies into sponges before dying instantly.

At this point, the Purple Silver Beads seemed less like treasures of immense value and more like instruments of death!

Out of the thousands swept into the Red Light Death Zone, several hundred died from the pulling force, while over a thousand perished under the barrage of explosive Purple Silver Beads.

As the descent continued deeper into the Red Light Death Zone, the death toll kept climbing, while fewer and fewer survivors remained.

The Red Light Death Zone was vast beyond measure.

The thousands swept inside had been widely scattered.

At this moment, Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, and several dozen Divine Kings were pulled to the western section of the Red Light Death Zone.

As the immense downward force dragged them deeper, eight individuals from Ye Chen's group perished almost immediately. freeweɓnovel.cøm

And as they descended further, more than ten others were killed by explosive Purple Silver Beads.

By the time the group had descended for the duration of a cup of tea, only twenty-three people remained, including Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue.

Based on their estimation, they had likely fallen over ten thousand zhang in the Red Light Death Zone!

As they continued descending.

Suddenly, thousands of Purple Silver Beads converged into a massive wave of Divine Light, shooting straight toward Ye Chen's group.

And this time, the projectiles were aimed squarely at Ye Chen himself.

"Ye Chen, watch out!"

Mu Qingxue cried out in alarm as she saw thousands of Purple Silver Beads hurtling toward Ye Chen at terrifying speeds. The other Divine Kings widened their mouths in horror.

Previously, even with just dozens or hundreds of these Purple Silver Beads shooting toward them, more than a dozen people in their group had died.

Now, thousands of beads were converging on Ye Chen alone, each moving as fast as a Lower Immortal Divine Venerable. Everyone feared for Ye Chen's life.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, those thousands of Purple Silver Beads collided directly with Ye Chen.

The impact slightly shifted Ye Chen's downward trajectory.

Yet, to everyone's shock, a formidable black and white Divine Light erupted from Ye Chen upon impact, blocking the deadly barrage of thousands of beads.

Each Purple Silver Bead was deflected by the overwhelming force emanating from Ye Chen, ricocheting off into other directions.

Ye Chen had survived this crisis!

This outcome astounded the Divine Kings present.

Anyone else would've been reduced to a corpse by now.

What shocked the Divine Kings even more was that after entering the Red Light Death Zone, all of their Divine Power had been heavily depleted, unable to resist the sheer number of Purple Silver Beads.

But Ye Chen—despite the loss of Divine Power—had managed to withstand thousands of attacks moving as fast as Lower Immortal Divine Venerables.

This was frightening.

If Ye Chen could endure such attacks with depleted Divine Power, how mighty could he be at full strength?

Could it be at the Mid Immortal Divine Venerable level?

Even though they had seen Ye Chen battle Sima Liao before, they couldn't imagine Ye Chen's combat power reaching such a level.

Yet, the Divine Kings had guessed incorrectly.

While Ye Chen's power was indeed unimaginable to them, the crux of his strength lay in his Taiyi Divine Power.

Ye Chen had discovered that, although his Taiyi Divine Power couldn't resist the downward pulling force, it had barely been depleted within the Red Light Death Zone!

"My Taiyi Divine Power was cultivated from the fifth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, the Taiyi Chapter, which is the legacy of Zi Ji Star Lord, one of the Cosmic Sea's supreme forces."

"Previously, the Heavenly God List revealed that the mysterious levels of Heavenly God Mountain were still inferior to Zi Ji Star Lord."

"Otherwise, the Stars Tower wouldn't have been able to conceal itself from the Heavenly God List's detection."

"With that said, it's understandable that Taiyi Divine Power can resist the energy-draining forces of the Red Light Death Zone."

The fact that his Taiyi Divine Power was barely diminished gave Ye Chen a glimmer of hope for navigating the treacherous Red Light Death Zone.

Though the chilling voice had stated that entering the Red Light Death Zone meant almost certain death.

As long as there was even a sliver of possibility, Ye Chen would not give up.

He was determined not to perish in the second layer of Heavenly God Mountain; he still had aspirations to conquer its summit!

Falling.

More falling.

Shooting.

The Purple Silver Beads continued their barrage.

Even though the trajectory of their attack was unpredictable, during the subsequent descent, five more individuals from Ye Chen's group perished.

By the end, only eighteen survivors remained, including Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue.

However, as they descended to a depth of approximately fifty to sixty thousand zhang, the relentless barrage of Purple Silver Beads abruptly ceased. No more beads threatened them.

Although they were still being dragged downward by the vast pulling force, their lives were no longer at immediate risk.

Finally, as Ye Chen and the remaining eighteen survivors looked through the endless seawater of the Sea of Mist and Wind, they saw the outline of undersea mountain peaks below. At last, they exhaled a collective sigh of relief.

They also felt the intensity of the downward pulling force diminish.

Finally, Ye Chen's group landed upon the mountain peaks located at the western depths of the Red Light Death Zone, tens of thousands of zhang below the surface.

"From our original group of seventy to eighty individuals, only eighteen survived."

"As for the other challengers swept into other regions by the purple storm, we don't know how many of them still live."

The eighteen survivors exchanged glances, their faces showing lingering fear.

But their expressions didn't reveal complete relief.

Because they were still trapped within the ocean floor of the Red Light Death Zone, with no clear way out.

Even when Ye Chen and the others attempted to ascend toward the surface, as soon as they left the vicinity of the mountain peaks, the immense pulling force would drag them back down.

There was no way for them to escape the area around the mountain peaks.

This predicament turned Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, and the eighteen survivors deeply somber.

After all, according to the rules for challenging Heavenly God Mountain revealed by the chilling voice, participants in the second layer's Sea of Mist and Wind had a total of three months. After three months, they were required to return to the outer edge of the Sea of Mist and Wind and pay a thousand Purple Silver Beads to access the third layer.

If they remained trapped in the Red Light Death Zone of the Sea of Mist and Wind, they might never make it out alive!
