Chapter 935: Chapter 934: Digging a Tunnel, the Will Inside!

As soon as Emperor Mutian’s warning sounded, a terrifying evil force had already swept in.

Ye Chen immediately withdrew the power of the Mutian Divine Seal.

“Get down!”

The soft command from Mutiann Celestial Emperor echoed, and before Ye Chen could drop down on his own, the Divine Finger unleashed an invisible pressure that forced him directly to the ground.

No wonder he’s the Great Emperor Mutian… just one finger can press me down obediently. Thankfully, it was restrained just now and didn’t slam me too hard, or else I’d be in real trouble.

“Dig in.”

The soft command from Great Emperor Mutian rang out once again.

Ye Chen: “…”

In that moment of distraction, Great Emperor Mutian’s finger had actually dug out a passage in the ground.

What a fast digging speed.

There are Emperor Realm Evil Spirits outside; it’s dangerous. Since Great Emperor Mutian says to dig in, then dig we must!

Digging into a tunnel made by the Divine Finger of a Great Emperor, it’s not embarrassing. Others want to dig but can’t.

Ye Chen drilled into the underground tunnel and found that the finger was still quickly excavating ahead, with skilled technique.

“Brother Mutian, you’re quite proficient.” Ye Chen mumbled.

“Of course, in my prime…”

The conversation halted abruptly.

Ye Chen could almost be certain that Great Emperor Mutian often did this kind of digging to escape back in the day.

“You brat, what did you just call me?”

“Brother!”

“You… so disrespectful! How dare you!”

“Let’s not dwell on it, hurry up with the digging. If the Emperor Realm Evil Spirit finds us, we’re finished.”

Great Emperor Mutian was quite frustrated, but it’s true—against an Emperor Realm Evil Spirit… with just one Divine Finger, it’s unbeatable.

The Divine Finger continued digging.

Ye Chen realized this wasn’t just simple digging.

The tunnel excavated was filled with a special power.

It makes sense; simple digging wouldn’t evade the perception of Emperor Realm Evil Spirits.

This finger… truly formidable.

A master in stealth.

Also unmatched in digging tunnels!

“Brother Mutian, I want to try too!” Ye Chen, gripping a sword, rushed forward, imitating the technique of the Divine Finger to dig ahead.

“Do you know the origin of my digging skills?”

“I don’t, but it feels amazing!”

“Indeed, I once dug out a Heaven-Burying Coffin!” Great Emperor Mutian’s voice carried unparalleled pride.

Ye Chen: “…”

“Brother, if you can unearth the Heaven-Burying Coffin, you must be quite familiar with it.”

“Kid, trying to find out more about the Heaven-Burying Coffin again? You’ve thought too much; I won’t tell you. Since you seem to have decent comprehension, I’ll teach you this Earth-Digging Divine Technique.”

Apparently, Great Emperor Mutian’s digging methods were called the Earth-Digging Divine Technique.

“At the dawn of the epoch, cultivation methods were scarce. Thus, a group emerged dedicated to excavating Supreme Powerhouse tombs from the previous era, exploring the inheritance and cultivation, gradually evolving into the Earth-Digging Divine Technique.

The Earth-Digging Divine Technique can shield against external perception, and when refined to a high level, can silently pierce terrifying formation restrictions.

Outside now, not just one Emperor Realm Evil Spirit, but even ten or eight can’t detect the tunnel I’ve dug.

Of course, you can’t do it yet.”

Ye Chen: “Brother, teach me the Earth-Digging Divine Technique quickly!”

…

In the depths of the Forbidden Zone.

Angry roars continuously echoed within a grand hall of bones.

“Hentian Emperor, what’s happening?”

A trembling Emperor Realm Evil Spirit hurried over to ask.

Above the hall, sitting a towering Evil Spirit Emperor with pale skin all over; the top-tier Hentian Emperor!

“Damn it, the Emperor Artifact I was refining has been discovered by humans!”

“Is it the one intended to refine the Divine Finger of Chi Mutian?”

“Correct, Chi Mutian’s Divine Finger was almost refined, but this unexpected event disrupted everything, giving Chi Mutian renewed hope!”

“This issue… is troublesome. With the Black Tide arrival, even we can’t act recklessly; Chi Mutian likely fled back to Celestial Burial Sea…”

Above, Hentian Emperor clenched his fist, saying, “Knowing Chi Mutian well, he won’t resign to fate. He’ll go all out to reclaim his Haoyang Celestial Fire.

There’s something inside that he obtained from the source of the Black Tide, so keep an eye on Haoyang Celestial Fire and don’t let him succeed!”

At that moment, laughter resounded.

“Hentian, with such a big incident, you didn’t even contact me proactively.”

A small-statured, similarly pale-skinned evil spirit strode into the hall.

His aura was completely equivalent to that of Hentian Emperor above.

“Heaven Destroyer, you don’t need to meddle in my affairs.”

Entering Heaven-Destroying Emperor sneered, “Orders within say, after the Black Tide dissipates, by all means necessary, the Enlightenment Tea Tree must be secured.

I’m here to notify you, set aside other matters and focus fully on vying for the Enlightenment Tea Tree.”

“Just an Enlightenment Tea Tree, no need for such fuss? You Heaven Destroyer handling such trivial affairs is sufficient.” Hentian Emperor retorted coldly.

Heaven-Destroying Emperor chuckled icily, “Hentian, don’t say I didn’t warn you, it’s the orders within, even Wutian and Broken Heaven dare not refuse. If you defy the wills within, the consequences… you’re well aware.

All we’ve achieved can be reclaimed anytime by the wills within. I advise you not to jeopardize your hard-earned achievements.”

“Heaven Destroyer, the Enlightenment Tea Tree is within our Forbidden Zone but not under its control. When the wills contacted you, did they mention the origin of the Enlightenment Tea Tree?” Hentian Emperor asked.

Heaven-Destroying Emperor: “I can’t answer that. I only know that the wills within cannot be defied. Message delivered, take care.”

With that, Heaven-Destroying Emperor flashed away, disappearing directly.

In the hall, underling Emperor Realm Evil Spirits of Hentian Emperor cautiously spoke, “Hentian Emperor, we should now…”

Hentian Emperor ordered, “Prepare to engage in the struggle over the Enlightenment Tea Tree.”

“And Chi Mutian…”

“He likely fled back to Celestial Burial Sea by now; without absolute assurance, he lacks the guts to reclaim the Haoyang Celestial Fire.”

“Hentian Emperor, there’s one thing I don’t understand, Chi Mutian’s Haoyang Celestial Fire has been sealed by us for a century, why hasn’t it been overwhelmed?”

Hentian Emperor spoke gravely, “If I’m not mistaken, Chi Mutian is linked to the Heaven-Burying Coffin, within Haoyang Celestial Fire lies an unimaginable mighty force, only Chi Mutian can dispel that force.

This time, letting him retrieve Haoyang Celestial Fire is actually a good thing: he lifts the force within Haoyang Celestial Fire, allowing me to strike and seize what Chi Mutian discovered at the Black Tide source.

The wills within, what exactly are they, not only Chi Mutian wants to understand, I want to figure it out too!”

…

Underground in the Forbidden Zone, Ye Chen practiced the so-called Earth-Digging Divine Technique while digging tunnels.

Great Emperor Mutian’s Divine Finger had taken a break.

After a prolonged time, Great Emperor Mutian stated, “We’re almost there, the aura of Haoyang Celestial Fire is nearby. Wait for the opportune moment, when the Black Tide recedes, then we’ll emerge!”
