System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

136: The Eye of the Storm, the Secret Realm is About to OpenDeep in the Star Shattering Ravine, the energy storm roared like an angry sea. Seven-colored turbulence tore at space, emitting a deafening roar. An ordinary Earth Fiend Realm Cultivator would likely be torn to shreds by the violent Spiritual Qi before they could even hold on for a moment.

Ye Chen pushed his Chaos Myriad Transformations Divine Ability and the stealth ability of the hidden dragon ring to the limit. His aura perfectly blended into the violent environment, like a formless ghost, struggling to traverse the gaps between the destructive energy. He dared not use his Protective Aura to fly, as that would be no different from lighting a torch in the dark; he could only rely on his formidable Physical Body strength and precise predictions of energy flow to climb and maneuver between the steep, jagged cliffs.

The closer he got to the core area where the fluctuations originated, the greater the pressure became. Chaotic magnetic fields interfered with his sense of direction, scorching Fire Evil Qi and freezing Metal Wind attacked in turns, and invisible spatial rifts acted like hidden blades; one moment of carelessness would result in being dismembered.

Ye Chen was fully focused. His chaos primordial fetus rotated at an unprecedented speed, constantly adjusting the attributes of his Protective Aura, simulating various energies to reduce repulsion. His Divine Sense contracted to a range of ten zhang around him, acting like the most precise probe, sensing every subtle change in energy and potential danger.

After advancing for about an hour and crossing several energy barriers capable of annihilating a Late Stage Earth Fiend Realm Cultivator, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.

Ahead, it was no longer an endless chaotic storm, but a relatively ”calm” huge spherical space. This space was about a thousand zhang in diameter, and its boundary was not physical, but a constantly twisting and changing seven-colored light film formed by the intertwining, collision, and annihilation of countless violent energies. Outside the light film was the world-destroying energy storm, while inside the light film, it was an eerie silence, with only extremely pure Spiritual Qi, carrying dense starlight radiation and metallic Evil Qi, flowing slowly.

This was the true core of the Star Shattering Ravine, the ”eye of the storm” of the energy storm!

In the center of the eye space, a huge, pitch-black, strange metal covered in impact craters and melt marks floated! This metal was a hundred zhang in size, emitting an ancient, desolate, and heavy aura that did not belong to this world. It was the root cause of the Star Shattering Ravine’s landscape—the core wreckage of that ancient meteor!

What caught Ye Chen’s attention was not the meteor core itself, but the ritual currently taking place on the relatively flat dark silver ground beneath this huge metal!

Seven figures dressed in intricate black robes, their auras as deep as the sea, stood in a mysterious Formation, surrounding a circle. Each of their cultivation levels had reached the Late Stage of the Earth Fiend Realm, and the three leaders among them had even reached the Seventh Layer of the Disha Realm! Far exceeding the Elder Yin Gu he had encountered before!

These seven people each held a peculiar Magical Artifact; some were twisted bone staves, some were compasses inlaid with evil eyes, and some were urns dripping with black liquid. They chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient incantations, their bodies surging with Devilish Qi, transforming into seven thick black beams of light, injecting into the center of the circle they surrounded.

On the ground in the center of the circle, a huge Formation with a diameter of over fifty zhang was engraved! The lines of the Formation were not fixed lines, but composed of flowing dark red liquid. The liquid was thick like blood, emitting a nauseating, fishy sweetness and extreme evil! Countless twisted, painful resentful Soul phantoms floated and wailed in the liquid, providing a constant stream of negative energy for the Formation.

And the core of the Formation was not an energy node, but three items:

On the left, a fist-sized, constantly pulsating black heart floated! The heart seemed to be alive, and every beat caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly, emitting a Demon Venerable aura that was of the same origin as the Moon-Erosion Demon Venerable, but even purer and more ancient!

On the right was a finger bone about three feet long, crystal clear, but sealing a wisp of flickering black flame inside! The finger bone emitted two contradictory auras: the chill that froze the Soul and the scorching heat that burned everything to ash. Its ancient artistic conception was even above that of the Demon Heart!

And what shook Ye Chen’s mind the most was the item located at the very center of the Formation—it was an incomplete, palm-sized bronze compass base! The edges of the base were broken irregularly, the central needle had long since disappeared, but the ancient patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers engraved on it, as well as the vast artistic conception that seemed to be able to monitor the heavens and stabilize order, faintly echoed with the dark gold fragment in his arms!

This bronze compass base and his dark gold fragment were clearly different parts of the same item!

”What are they doing?” Ye Chen’s heart surged with stormy waves. The Dark Hall gathered so many experts in this extremely dangerous place, using the Demon Heart, the Evil Bone, and that mysterious bronze compass fragment as the core to set up such an evil and huge Formation—their goal must be earth-shattering!

He held his breath, reduced his sense of presence to the lowest, and observed carefully.

He saw that the seven Dark Hall powerhouses were chanting incantations faster and faster, their voices becoming higher and higher, carrying a kind of fanatical devotion. The dark red Formation on the ground shone brightly, and the flowing liquid was like boiling! The black Demon Heart beat more violently, as if trying to break free from its shackles! Inside that finger bone, the black flame suddenly rose, scorching the surrounding space until it twisted!

And the bronze compass base in the center, stimulated by the power of the Formation, began to tremble slightly. The patterns of the sun, moon, and stars on its surface lit up with faint light one by one, and a clearer, more magnificent order artistic conception permeated, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding evil Demon Formation, yet it was strangely and forcibly bound and utilized by the power of the Demon Formation!

”Taking the Holy Venerable’s Heart as a guide, taking the Moon-Erosion’s flame as fuel, leveraging the ’Foundation of Monitoring’... connecting the gate of the ’Wujian Demon Realm’... descend to this world!” The leading Black-Robed Figure at the Seventh Layer of the Disha Realm roared the last part of the incantation with a hoarse and fanatical voice!

”Rumble—!!!”

The entire eye space shook violently! The floating hundred-zhang meteor core suddenly lit up with countless dark red lines connected to the Formation below! Massive starlight power and metallic Evil Qi were forcibly extracted by the Formation and poured into the dark red Formation!

The light of the bronze compass base in the center of the Formation suddenly became blinding! The sun, moon, and star patterns on it seemed to come alive and began to rotate slowly! A subtle yet incomparably stable pale golden beam of light, seemingly composed of pure order rules, suddenly shot up from the center of the compass base, ignoring the obstruction of the eye space, and plunged directly into the seven-colored light film formed by violent energy above!

Wherever the pale golden light beam passed, the violent energy seemed to encounter a monarch, retreating and calming down one after another! The light film was forcibly torn open, revealing... a deep, pitch-black, absolute Void Realm that seemed to have no stars!

And in the depths of that absolute Void Realm, a point of scarlet light was rapidly enlarging from far to near! A terrifying will, far more ancient, more chaotic, and more indescribable than the Moon-Erosion Demon Venerable, followed the passage built by the pale golden light beam, like a shark smelling blood, crossed the endless Void Realm, and descended with a bang!

”It’s here! The gate of the Demon Realm will open! Welcome the descent of the ’Wujian Demon Lord’s’ will!” The Dark Hall powerhouses let out fanatical cheers, driving the Formation even harder.

Ye Chen felt his scalp tingle, and his Divine Soul trembled under that descending terrifying will! Wujian Demon Lord? Foundation of Monitoring? The Dark Hall was actually trying to guide an ancient Devil Head more terrifying than the Moon-Erosion Demon Venerable, and used that bronze compass fragment that might be related to ”Chaos Monitoring”!

He must not let them succeed!

His gaze locked tightly onto the bronze compass base in the center of the Formation that was trembling slightly and seemed to be echoing with the dark gold fragment in his arms.

The opportunity might only come once!

Just at the moment when that point of scarlet light was about to break through the Void Realm and descend completely—

Ye Chen moved!

He raised his speed to the limit, like a gray lightning bolt tearing through space, ignoring the seven Dark Hall powerhouses, and aimed directly at the bronze compass base at the core of the Formation!

【Chaos Myriad Transformations】—Simulation, Space Travel!

His Chaos Qi burned, forcibly opening a short-lived passage through the dense energy turbulence and the Formation barrier!

”What is this?!”

”Stop him!”

The Dark Hall powerhouses were both shocked and angry. They never expected that in this top-secret place, someone could sneak in until now! Seven terrifying attacks instantly locked onto Ye Chen, with overwhelming Devilish Qi, enough to crush any Earth Fiend Realm Cultivator!

But Ye Chen ignored it, his eyes only on that bronze base!

Just at the moment his fingertips were about to touch the base, a mutation occurred again!

The dark gold fragment in his arms and the bronze base erupted with unprecedentedly strong light and resonance at the same time!

”Hum—!!!”

A force of order Judgment, far exceeding the Earth Fiend Realm level and overriding all things, erupted with Ye Chen and the bronze base as the center!
