Chapter 2701 - 2690: Discovery! Encounter Again!

Just at this moment.

A voice echoed through the Hes’ council hall.

"Let him enter the Realm of Death! His heart has probably already grown a heart demon because of that brat. If he can’t personally kill that brat, the demon in his heart will never be removed. By then he’ll only slowly fall into ruin and become a cripple. Our Hes don’t need cripples."

It was the voice of the Hes’ patriarch, He Kongsheng.

Only his voice was heard, but his person was not seen. He Kongsheng clearly was not here, yet he still had everything happening in the Hes firmly in hand.

With the patriarch He Kongsheng making the decision, He Renbai naturally didn’t dare say anything more.

"Immediately prepare to open the Realm of Death." He Renbai said to the other members of the Hes.

While the Hes were getting ready to open the Realm of Death.

Outside the Valley of Divine Instruments.

Those Artifact Refiners who had originally stood unmoving in place, choosing to support He Yuantian and the others, had now all been dealt with.

The five supreme phantoms were withdrawn back into the statues by Ye Chenfeng; he had no intention of wasting time here.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Those Artifact Refiners who had chosen to retreat were all trembling with fear, staring at the corpses lying all over the ground. The reason they had chosen to retreat was because most of them had some minor friendship with Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an; they were giving Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an one last bit of face. In their eyes, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an were doomed to die this time, yet who could have known that in the end, what they thought was giving face had actually saved their own lives.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to stay here for too long. He glanced at Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an and said, "We’re leaving."

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an both nodded, then followed him away.

Only when Ye Chenfeng and the others’ backs gradually disappeared from sight did the Artifact Refiners present who were still alive finally let out a sigh of relief.

The Hes’ status in the Upper World had always been unshakable, yet now someone actually dared to openly oppose the Hes? It seemed the Upper World was about to become anything but peaceful.

After leaving the Valley of Divine Instruments, Ye Chenfeng, Li Muyan and the others walked through the sky, stepping on empty air the entire way.

After they had been walking on air for about half an hour.

Ye Chenfeng’s brows suddenly furrowed sharply. The Star Sky Stone in his heart and the Blood of the Earth Seven Colored Divine Spring in his Dantian all suddenly reacted at the same time. This abrupt change absolutely couldn’t be without a reason. He said to Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an, "Let’s stop for a moment."

Ye Chenfeng’s figure quickly dropped down to the ground.

Once his feet stepped onto the earth, Ye Chenfeng discovered that the Star Sky Stone in his heart and the Seven Colored Divine Spring in his Dantian were reacting even more violently. What on earth was going on?

Ye Chenfeng carefully sensed the surroundings, but he couldn’t detect anything at all.

Seeing how serious Ye Chenfeng looked, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an couldn’t help but grow increasingly uneasy, constantly scanning their surroundings.

"Brother Ye, is there something wrong with this place?" Unable to find anything, Li Muyan finally couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Chenfeng shook his head, then nodded, which only made Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an even more puzzled.

Ye Chenfeng crouched down, pressed his palm against the ground, and from his palm the power of the Star Sky Stone and the Seven Colored Divine Spring surged out.

After surging out.

On the originally ordinary, unremarkable ground, blood-red lines actually surfaced, these lines filling the surroundings and spreading in all directions.

From these lines Ye Chenfeng sensed a peculiar power. Although he still didn’t know what these lines were for, an extremely bad premonition faintly rose in his heart.

He lifted his palm from the ground, and those blood-red lines that had surfaced immediately vanished again.

"Brother Ye, what exactly is going on? What are those lines on the ground? Judging from how they surfaced just now, the area they cover shouldn’t be small." Shi Wan’an asked.

Ye Chenfeng had a feeling in his heart, and he said, "The area they cover indeed isn’t small. It’s highly likely they cover the entire Upper World."

Ye Chenfeng sank into deep thought.

As he was thinking, his consciousness in his mind suddenly turned blurry, and he couldn’t resist it at all.

On the side, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an saw Ye Chenfeng, who had been standing there, slowly close his eyes, and no matter how they shouted to him afterward, they couldn’t wake Ye Chenfeng up.

When Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness cleared again, he found himself standing atop a mountain peak.

Everything around him was a vast sheet of white; he couldn’t see where this was at all. Thinking of what had just happened, Ye Chenfeng was extremely sure he was inside some kind of illusion.

He carefully scanned his surroundings, and when he turned around and then turned back again, his pupils abruptly shrank. A black-robed old man wearing a bamboo hat had appeared in his line of sight.

This black-robed old man was sitting on a boulder at the mountain’s summit, his gaze watching the distant horizon.

Following his line of sight, Ye Chenfeng looked out, but from start to finish he could only see that endless sheet of white.

He recognized this old man; they had once crossed paths. This old man was the so-called embodiment of this heaven and earth.

"Why did you draw me here?" Ye Chenfeng asked, not relaxing for a single instant.

The black-robed old man smiled faintly and said, "Young man, don’t be so tense. Aren’t you curious about those red lines on the ground?"

"I can tell you responsibly that those lines are about to cover the Upper World, Middle Realm, and Lower Realm of the Divine Origin Realm."

"Do you know who created them? He Kongsheng of the Hes. Once they cover the entire Divine Origin Realm, you could say the Divine Origin Realm will be plunged into carnage. Anyone standing within those red lines will all turn into a puddle of blood, and the energy within their bodies will flow into He Kongsheng’s body."

"Young man, He Kongsheng is very likely to reach Eternal Life before you."

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were filled with a heavy solemnity. "Why are you telling me this? Aren’t you the controller of this heaven and earth? If He Kongsheng reaches Eternal Life, that would be bad for you, wouldn’t it? You should be taking action against He Kongsheng."

The black-robed old man laughed and said, "All things have their fixed principles. The current He Kongsheng is infinitely close to Eternal Life; he can already evade many of the constraints of the laws. A great many things are no longer within my control."

"Because of certain reasons, I cannot leave this place. If I could leave, I could personally resolve He Kongsheng, but right now I cannot do that."

"Don’t you also wish to reach Eternal Life? Before that happens, you must first deal with He Kongsheng. If he reaches Eternal Life, then I fear you will have no chance at all."
