Primordial Star Scripture

Additionally, four late-stage Heavenly Saints also engaged in a fierce battle with the vast swarm of golden Demon Bees.

A late-stage Heavenly Saint with white eyebrows and a yellow robe burst into the void, his body's True Qi blazing furiously, actually emitting divine might akin to high-grade True Fire of a saintly level!

Every cluster of True Qi that leaped forth incinerated a swarm of golden Demon Bees attacking him into ash, and although there were more than eight hundred bees encircling him, not a single one could breach his defense beneath the intense blaze of True Qi, akin to superior True Fire.

Looking at the situation, it was only a matter of time before the white-browed and yellow-robed elder would annihilate all of the golden Demon Bees.

There was another late-stage Heavenly Saint who was likewise extraordinarily powerful.

This late-stage Heavenly Saint was none other than the one who first greeted and spoke to Ye Chen when he arrived at the Forbidden Ancient Lands, also emphasizing the rules of treasure hunting in the ancient land.

Initially, this Heavenly Saint only emanated an ordinary late-stage Heavenly Saint aura, but now, as his aura fully blossomed, he was not a bit weaker than Bing Shisan.

His Combat Skills were known for Physical Combat Power, and when his aura was fully unleashed, patterns of divine flesh emerged over his body beneath the grey clothes.

Amidst the surge of divine flesh patterns, the late-stage Heavenly Saint bellowed continuously, fearlessly plunging into the swarm of golden Demon Bees, their toxic and lethal stings notwithstanding; he crushed every single one of the bees with his bare hands!

Another late-stage Heavenly Saint, similar to the mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth with the cyan basket, also summoned a powerful magical treasure of his creation.

His magical treasure was a painting.

When this late-stage Heavenly Saint unfolded the painting, flock after flock of earthy yellow sparrows flew out, flickering with spiritual light as if they were no different from living creatures.

Moreover, each and every sparrow was at the combat level of a late-stage Heavenly Saint, their power surpassing the golden Demon Bees attacking the Heavenly Saint.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The sky full of sparrows emerging from the painting was no less numerous than the golden Demon Bees; amidst their fluttering, they directly swooped down on the golden Demon Bees to annihilate them.

The farthest late-stage Heavenly Saint simply sat cross-legged in the void, motionless, but above his seated physical body, suddenly appeared a small silhouette resembling himself.

This silhouette was none other than the Divine Soul shadow of the late-stage Heavenly Saint.

This Heavenly Saint, evidently practiced in powerful Divine Soul Attack Methods; as soon as the small Divine Soul shadow above his head appeared, his eyes shot forth beams of sky-shocking brilliance.

Each beam, as long as it hit the golden Demon Bees attacking him, instantly annihilated them into nothingness.

In the midst of battle,

The six survivors who held out until the end all displayed their true formidable combat strength.

Ye Chen had the support of his Combat Beast Bing Shisan, the Purple Mist True Garment, and the Five Great Divine Arts; the mid-stage Heavenly Saint youth had the mysterious cyan belt and cyan basket; and the other four late-stage Heavenly Saints each wielded True Qi Combat Power, Physical Combat Power, Sky-Shocking Magical Treasure, and incredible Divine Soul Attack Methods.

All six withstood an even denser second wave of attacks from the golden Demon Bees, and as the battle progressed, the number of bees in the attacking swarm dwindled, growing fewer and fewer.

At this rate, the six of them would certainly annihilate all of the golden Demon Bees!

Although the six had gained the upper hand, not a trace of relaxation appeared on their faces.

Out of the seventy or so Adventurers who came to these Forbidden Ancient Lands, merely attempting to harvest the Void Sky Quintessence Fruits under the two large trees had resulted in the fall of the overwhelming majority, leaving only the six of them alive.

Moreover, it was clear that the swarm of golden Demon Bees wasn't solely targeting those harvesting the Void Sky Quintessence Fruit; even those who stood below without engaging in the fight, including Ye Chen and others, were attacked by the swarm of golden Demon Bees.

Such a situation made the six aware that these golden Demon Bees, which flew out from the small clay temple behind the two fruit trees, were not as simple as guardians of the Void Sky Quintessence Fruit.

It's very possible that something even more dangerous existed here!

And Ye Chen, who was continuously annihilating the golden Demon Bees, was even more vigilant!

He remembered that Bing Shiyi had told him that a power that even made Bing Shiyi's soul tremble was seeping out from that small clay temple.

That power, it definitely wouldn't be just these Demon Bees which even Bing Shisan could withstand; there had to be something even more powerful hidden within that small clay temple!

Under such circumstances, the six had no intention of lingering in this bizarre place and planned in their hearts that once they wiped out these golden Demon Bees and were free, they would immediately leave this area.

Their survival up to the last moment was not only due to their incredibly strong means and trump cards but also a result of their extremely cautious and careful hearts.

From the moment the golden Demon Bees launched their second wave of attack, they knew that this was no place to stay for long.

Among the six, the late-stage Heavenly Saint who unleashed True Qi as fierce as True Fire was the first to be free; after killing more than four hundred golden Demon Bees, he didn't bother with the other three hundred plus still attacking him, and he burst directly towards the exit below the staircase.

As a result, something startled all six of them occurred.

When this late-stage Heavenly Saint existence flew to the verge of that spatial gap and was about to escape from the outlet, leaving this Forbidden Ancient Lands, the ten-zhang wide spatial gap outlet that had been revealed by Ye Chen and his five companions' breaking of the seal, suddenly closed in an instant.

The entire secret space within the Forbidden Ancient Lands, now completely separated from the outside space.

Ye Chen and his six companions were completely trapped inside the secret space of the Forbidden Ancient Lands, they could no longer find an exit to leave!

Such a situation not only caused the complexion of the late-stage Heavenly Saint, who was flying towards the outlet, to drastically change, but also caused the other five people who had been paying attention to the surroundings and silently observing the movements of the Heavenly Saint, to feel a sinking feeling in the depths of their hearts.

Although it was said that this was a secret space within the Forbidden Ancient Lands, there certainly was a way out, but now that the spatial gap had disappeared, leaving would not be so simple. They might have to completely understand this inner space.

Under such circumstances, it seemed impossible to avoid the crises within this inner space.

All six of them had grim expressions on their faces, but what happened next caused their hearts to sink even further.

Right at the moment when the spatial gap was closing, from the small earthen temple behind the two fruit trees bearing Void Sky Quintessence Fruit, suddenly came a series of jarring, cold laughter.

The instant this cold laughter was heard, those Gold Needle Bees that were still attacking towards the six people, all flew backwards, returning to the small earthen temple.

Looking at this, these Gold Needle Bees of the late-stage Heavenly Saint level were obviously being controlled by someone!

Could the Gold Needle Bees, which instantaneously killed more than sixty martial artists, actually be under someone's control? Was there still a living person within the small earthen temple behind the two fruit trees?

Thinking of this, the hair on the skin of Ye Chen and his companions stood on end.

You have to know, these Forbidden Ancient Lands had just been breached by them, how could there possibly be someone inside?

The Five Elements Mountain, that's a place fraught with extreme danger. Each exploration lasts only three months, and after the three-month exploration period, a ferocious void hurricane will sweep through the entire Five Elements Mountain, a hurricane capable of killing all mighty beings.

Even a First Tribulation true god could not withstand such a void hurricane.

In such a case, other than the three months of exploration, it would be impossible for any martial artist to stay in the Five Elements Mountain at other times.

And the human voice coming from the small earthen temple, it couldn't possibly be someone from the current group of people who had just entered the Five Elements Mountain.

If it is not a newly arrived explorer, and other martial artists couldn't have stayed in the Five Elements Mountain before this exploration, then who could be laughing coldly in that small earthen temple?

Could it not be a human being?

If it isn't a human, yet it emits a cold laugh like a person, what else could it be?

This eerie situation made even the six strong warriors who had survived to the end feel a chill running down their spines.

At this moment, Ye Chen was thinking even more of Bing Shiyi's words — could this entity emitting the jarring laughter be the source of the power that even Bing Shiyi was afraid of?

Ye Chen and his five companions were all staring intently at the entrance of the small earthen temple, completely unaware of what might emerge from it in the next moment.

And at this time, after the jarring cold laugh ceased, a harsh voice that terrified all six people followed.

"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect that of the more than seventy adventurers who came this time, there were still six decent martial artists who managed to dodge the attack of my Gold Needle Bees, not bad, not bad at all."

As this raspy voice sounded, a figure directly walked out from the earthen temple.

The gaze of Ye Chen and his five companions instantly fell upon this figure.

This look made all six of them jump in their hearts!

If this figure is to be called a person, it's definitely not human, but to call it a monster is also incorrect; the figure that walked out from the small earthen temple is actually a white skeleton with all flesh gone, only the white bones remaining!

What caught Ye Chen's attention even more was that between the eyebrows of this white skeleton's skull, there was a socket-like hole the size of an eye socket, out of which was emitting a greenish glow, much like that of an eyeball.

With the glow also coming from the original two eye sockets of the skeleton, this skeleton seemed to have three eyes.

A three-eyed skeleton!

Ye Chen had never seen such an entity before that could speak and even command Gold Needle Bees of the late-stage Heavenly Saint level!

And the next sentence spoken by this three-eyed skeleton confused Ye Chen and the other five martial artists even more.

After its three glowing eyes briefly scanned over Ye Chen and his five companions, it directly asked them, "In this batch of adventurers who entered the Five Elements Mountain this time, is there the Saint Heir of the Xuanjin Continent, Jin Lieyang?"
