Chapter 3843: Chapter 3843: Mysterious Stone Tablet

With a ”ding,” a blood crystal stone dropped to the ground.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed. With a wave of his hand, he captured the crystal stone in his palm and secretly asked Xuan Han Yu, ”Fairy Xuan, what is this crystal stone?”

Even with the powerful body of a Corpse Baby, it turned to dust under Gu Xuan’s destructive power, yet this crystal stone remained intact. It must be no simple thing!

Xuan Han Yu smiled contentedly and said, ”This crystal stone is formed from the Heart Blood of the Corpse Baby and is called Yin Yang Blood Essence. Its effects are far stronger than the Ghost Buddha King Relics. With this Corpse Baby’s Yin Yang Blood Essence, I can possess the power equivalent to that of a Qiankun Realm Fourth Layer Heaven being for a short time!”

At this moment, Gu Xuan eagerly said, ”Disciple, who else dares to harm you? I’ll help you eliminate them all!”

Clearly, the feeling of protecting her disciple for the first time made Gu Xuan very thrilled!

Slaying a Corpse Baby was far from satisfying!

Ye Chen smiled faintly. He had now become the agent of the Netherworld Dark Mansion in the Bright Territory. Just as Gu Xuan had said, she would support his actions in the Dark Domain as much as possible. Therefore, Ye Chen had asked Gu Xuan to hide in the shadows and accompany him to the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest for the appointment.

With Gu Xuan’s presence, regardless of who invited him to the Ten Thousand Destruction Forest, he should be safe.

After all, there aren’t many in the entire Netherworld stronger than Gu Xuan.

The reason he hadn’t let Gu Xuan act initially was that opportunities to fight such powerful beings are rare. Ye Chen didn’t want to miss any chance to improve his martial arts!

And at this moment, as Gu Xuan looked at Ye Chen, she grew fonder and fonder. Ye Chen’s battle with the Corpse Baby gave Gu Xuan a clearer understanding of his heaven-defying spiritual root!

Originally, in Gu Xuan’s eyes, her strength might not be the pinnacle in the Dark Domain. After all, there are many ancient monsters hidden in the vast states of the Dark Domain!

But when it comes to martial arts talent, not many can surpass her!

Yet now, even the perpetually proud Gu Xuan believed Ye Chen’s martial arts talent might surpass her own!

And such a monstrous talent is her disciple, Gu Xuan’s!

Thinking of this, an incredibly proud smile couldn’t help but appear beneath Gu Xuan’s veil!

At this moment, Ye Chen was walking down a long corridor deeper into the Earth Palace.

The necrosis in this Earth Palace was so dense that it was anything but simple!

Quickly, Ye Chen and Gu Xuan arrived in a tremendously vast hall, where the scent of blood was extremely strong, and countless pools of blood were built!

Gu Xuan frowned, ”These pools of blood seem to be used for Corpse Refining. It seems this Corpse Baby wanted to refine some extremely powerful Corpse Demon, but capturing many martial artists resulted in failure each time!”

Ye Chen nodded, suspecting that Chen You purchased the Solar Lunar Dragon Transformation Pill for an attempt at Corpse Refining.

He bypassed these pools and headed deeper into the hall until he finally stood before a large door.

Ye Chen faintly sensed that the source of the necrosis lay beyond this door!

At this place, Gu Xuan’s expression also grew slightly more serious.

With a wave of her hand, the massive door before them was forcefully blasted open by a surge of power!

As the door opened, an exceptionally strong wave of necrosis surged forth. Both Ye Chen and Gu Xuan’s pupils contracted, for the necrosis behind the door was several times denser than even within the Earth Palace!

What appeared before Ye Chen and Gu Xuan was an enormous array formation, with a stone tablet at its center!

Exchanging a glance, the two of them stepped into the array and approached the stone tablet.

Ye Chen frowned slightly, as the inscription on the stone tablet gave him a faint sense of familiarity!

In part of his past life’s memories, it seemed to have appeared!

The image was too blurry for Ye Chen to be certain!

Could the Samsara Master have clashed with the people behind these inscriptions?

The characters were quite unusual, exuding an Ancient Intent!

Clearly, these were symbols used in an ancient or even older era!

Ye Chen asked Gu Xuan, ”Gu Mansion Master, do you recognize these characters?”

Gu Xuan’s eyes sparkled, ”No, I don’t. Also, haven’t I told you to call me Master?”

At this point, Xuan Han Yu spoke, ”I recognize these characters.”

Ye Chen’s expression shifted, asking Xuan Han Yu, ”What’s written on the stone tablet?”

Xuan Han Yu paused for a moment before saying, ”It seems that the disaster that wiped out countless martial artists back then wasn’t an accident but man-made!

The necrosis in this Earth Palace is so dense because it’s a location of absolute Yin, which has the characteristic of condensing necrosis. A supreme being of the Heavenly Corpse Sect needed a place rich in necrosis to refine Heavenly Corpses. So, he massacred countless martial artists in this Ten Thousand Destruction Forest and activated the array to enhance the necrosis condensing effect of the absolute Yin ground. Ultimately, he used the lives of many beings as the price to create this Earth Palace specifically for refining Heavenly Corpses!

What’s recorded on this stone tablet are his insights on refining Heavenly Corpses according to the Corpse Dao, but it only goes halfway. It seems he never succeeded in creating the legendary Heavenly Corpse!”

Ye Chen asked, ”Could it be that the Corpse Baby wanted to refine a Heavenly Corpse?”

Xuan Han Yu replied, ”It seems so.”

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen suddenly reached out, uprooted the stone tablet from the ground, and placed it in his storage bag. While he’s not interested in the Corpse Dao, the insights into refining Heavenly Corpses, even if only partial, hold immense value. Keeping it might serve some purpose, and he doesn’t want it falling into others’ hands.

The Corpse Baby had already taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of martial artists to refine a Heavenly Corpse. If it fell into the wrong hands, who knows how many more innocents would suffer and die?

Afterward, Ye Chen and Gu Xuan removed the skeletons from the pools of blood, cremated them, and left the Earth Palace.

Ye Chen and Gu Xuan mounted the Golden Roc, but instead of heading toward Wuming City or Deceit City,

the Golden Roc transformed into a golden streak of light, gradually leaving the Netherworld State...

Three days later, Ye Chen and Gu Xuan found themselves above what appeared to be an ordinary ocean, but strangely, the Divine Eagle, inheriting the bloodline of the Golden Winged Great Peng, suddenly halted mid-air, its feathers trembling as if in great fear.

Gu Xuan snorted disdainfully, glancing at the Golden Roc, and said to Ye Chen, ”From here, we’ll have to proceed on our own; Xiao Jin doesn’t dare fly any further.”

Ye Chen nodded, his eyes solemn as he gazed ahead over the ocean, feeling quite a bit of pressure even himself!
