Supreme Divine Emperor

In the darkness, a deep voice sounded out, the sound slowly traveled far away, following that the sounds of flowing water could be heard, it was obvious that they were in a river, the clear sound of flowing water allowed Ye Chen to understand, he guessed that it was from an underground river.    

He held his head, feeling the pain as if a needle was pricking him. He shook it a few times and then remembered what had happened.    

"I should have been heavily injured by the sect protecting Demonic Beast of the Holy Star Heavenly Sect, and fell off the cliff. Why am I here? There is a river at the peak of the Holy Star, but this place is obviously not the peak of the Holy Star! " Ye Chen slowly stood up with a face full of suspicion.    

What surprised him was that the injuries on his body had already completely healed without any hidden injuries. Thinking about it, this should be related to the Ancestral God's blood, allowing his recovery abilities to reach a terrifying level.    

His surroundings were extremely dark, but with Ye Chen's strength, this level of darkness was unable to obstruct his line of sight. He was currently standing on an underground river, and the sound of flowing water came from ahead.    

After pondering for a while, Ye Chen still decided to take a step forward and head towards the underground river. The river water was not very fast, but it was extremely cold and even with Ye Chen's strength, he could feel a chill that penetrated into his bones.    

"Motherf * cker, this isn't the path to hell, is it?" Ye Chen could not help but shiver, his heart becoming heavy.    

Even within the Cultivation Realm, netherworld was a place that cultivators feared, and even god-like beings did not dare to rashly step into.    

He continued to move forward and he could see that the underground river was becoming wider and wider. From the very beginning, it was more than ten feet wide, but now, it had actually become ten feet wide, and the river water had actually become much slower.    

Just then, a cold wind blew over, Ye Chen's face revealed a look of surprise, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward, as though he could see through the end of the underground river.    

"Wind?" Ye Chen never thought that after walking along the underground river until here, he would actually feel the warmth of the water. Although it was still very cold, but compared to the coldness of the water, he didn't know how much stronger it was.    

"I've already walked about 10 miles along this underground river. Logically speaking, an underground river should not be so short." Ye Chen frowned again, but he increased his speed and continued to speed along the underground river.    

Half a cup of tea later, a streak of white light entered Ye Chen's line of sight. A brilliant smile appeared on his face; that place should be the end of the underground river, but he didn't know how far it was from the peak of the Holy Star.    

"It seems like I fell into a river at the foot of the Holy Star Peak before being washed into this underground river. Luckily, I managed to get out." Ye Chen's face revealed a hint of happiness as he muttered to himself.    

Ye Chen's eyes focused on the white light in the distance, and his speed increased in vain. He had already had enough of the cold air here, and didn't want to stay here for even a breath of time longer.    

In the end, what entered Ye Chen's line of sight was a square shaped entrance that was blocked by two oddly-shaped rocks on both sides.    

"So it turned out to be such a good feeling to see the light of day again!" Arriving at the exit, Ye Chen slowly closed his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, and greedily sucked the Qi from the outside.    

"I wonder how the Holy Star Heavenly Sect is doing now …" Ye Chen suddenly remembered what happened before he fell to the Holy Star Peak. However, in the next moment, his pupils constricted as he looked ahead absentmindedly.    

What made him disappointed was that this place was not the outside world at all. The surrounding vast rock walls proved that this was only a vast space with a radius of several miles.    

The majestic palaces stood within, and an ancient aura emanated from above. It was as if there was a layer of dust on top of the palaces, as if they were filled with the aura of time.    

On the cliff, there were countless strange stones that were embedded in it. They were like stars shining brilliantly, brightening up the entire space and allowing one to clearly see everything in it.    

In addition, the spiritual essence here was abundant as it roiled about within the space. Bathing in it would give one a refreshing feeling.    

"What a mysterious aura, this, is the pure energy of heaven and earth?!" Ye Chen's expression moved, then revealed a look of shock, he saw that inside the surging spirit energy, crystal clear liquid beads were floating, and after absorbing the pure energy of heaven and earth from the Five Elements Star Plate, Ye Chen could naturally identify them in an instant.    

"This should be an underground palace, and it's even under the Holy Star Peak. Since the Holy Star Sky Sect is built on it, it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?" Ye Chen muttered to himself. In the midst of his extreme shock, he took a step forward and flew towards the underground palace. However, Ye Chen did not immediately get close.    

"This place has been abandoned for too long. There shouldn't be any living creatures here." Ye Chen took a quick look around. This underground palace was already covered in dust, it did not seem like there were any living beings inside.    

He reached his hand out, and flames shot out from his fingertips, then started to run amok in the underground palace. For some reason, this underground palace gave Ye Chen a very heavy pressure, he was a little uneasy in his heart, so he did not dare to act rashly, and could only probe about with his flames.    

After a long while, Ye Chen found that he was unharmed, and then slowly let go of the Power of The Soul, sweeping towards the spirit aura layer, a moment later enveloping the entire earth palace's top.    

One could see that each of the purple colored silk threads were like Divine Dragon s, shuttling through the layers of spirit energy. Wherever they passed, the colorful droplets would disappear, obviously absorbed by Ye Chen's soul.    

"The hundred threads of the soul have already been completed and cannot be stored any longer. The only way is to find a way to break through Heavenly Spirit Stage." Looking at the spirit aura layer, Ye Chen could not help but frown. Right now, he was trapped with a question, which was how the Power of The Soul would break through the Heavenly Spirit Stage.    

If it was before, when he knew the method, it would be when his soul had materialized, and if he had comprehended the power of heaven and earth, his soul would be able to separate itself from his body. This was the most fundamental difference between Heavenly Spirit Stage and Luoling Stage.    

"Wait! "Physical form!" Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. Looking at the little purple Divine Dragon that was shuttling back and forth in the spirit aura layer, he suddenly thought of something in his heart, "As long as the threads of the soul are solidified, it should be able to let the Power of The Soul break through its Heavenly Spirit Stage! As for the physical form, it had to leave the body and be able to resist the natural power of the world! Although my soul can temporarily leave my body, I can't leave my body for too long. "    

In that moment, Ye Chen seemed to have understood something, he immediately sat cross-legged and the threads of the soul in the outside world returned to Ye Chen's body. Inside his Mind Palace, the black whirlpools were spinning quickly, and the purple threads of the soul were spinning extremely quickly.    

"Since one soul thread is unable to resist the power of the world, then what about the other two?" Ye Chen thought, and then carefully controlled a few to condense them.
