Ye Chu followed Yang Hui’s gaze and looked over. In the distance a huge palace was rising up. The palace was extremely large and slowly emerged from underground. It stood ten thousand metres tall and was grand and magnificent beyond words.
Unlike the blood red sky all around this palace was cyan in colour. It was ancient and simple to the extreme with traces of countless years. A cyan light enveloped the entire palace giving it an extra ethereal quality.
The moment the palace appeared it seemed to seize the heart and mind as if it were a divine object that everyone should kneel and worship.
“What is this place?” Ye Chu stared blankly at the huge palace. Its aura was far too overwhelming. It had green rust spots and an ancient majestic air as if it had existed for countless ages.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui stood dazed looking at the huge palace before them. Although shocked by its imposing power they still walked closer. After getting nearer Yang Hui and Ye Chu exchanged a glance. Their expressions were filled with shock.
“Azure Flame Glazed Gold!”
Ye Chu could not help exclaiming. Looking at the huge palace he felt dizzy. The entire palace was cyan but within it there were flames burning like glazed fire. This made Ye Chu think of something the old madman had once mentioned.
Azure Flame Glazed Gold: this was supreme treasure material that contained the laws and principles of heaven and earth. It was one of the rarest materials in the world. Many cultivators who sought to refine heaven and earth weapons found it hard to obtain even a small piece.
Even powerhouses who seized the creations of heaven and earth would go mad for Azure Flame Glazed Gold. Yet the scene before him left Ye Chu with his mouth wide open. This majestic and overwhelming palace was entirely refined from Azure Flame Glazed Gold. Who could have such immense resources?
Even a supreme being would find it nearly impossible to gather so much Azure Flame Glazed Gold.
“What exactly is this place?” Ye Chu felt deeply shaken. If he told others about this who would believe it? Such a quantity of Azure Flame Glazed Gold would be enough to drive any place into madness including holy lands and supreme beings.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui stood very close to the palace. Looking at the cyan light flickering on it their hearts began to feel uneasy. The place was extremely quiet in a way that felt strangely eerie and made their scalps tingle.
“Leave this place!” Ye Chu said to Yang Hui. He did not want to stay here any longer. This place was far too strange. Even a supreme treasure like Azure Flame Glazed Gold could appear in such quantity. Who knew what kind of place this was.
As for knocking off pieces of Azure Flame Glazed Gold Ye Chu did not even dare to think about it. If they disturbed such a palace who knew what terrifying power it might unleash.
Yang Hui was clearly frightened too and did not dare to linger.
But at this moment a terrifying aura that made one’s heart palpitate surged forth. It came down overwhelmingly from above the palace. This was an aura that Ye Chu and Yang Hui could hardly withstand. Although it was not aimed at them even a casual trace of it made both of them spit blood.
“That… dragon… dragon…”
Yang Hui muttered in disbelief as she looked up at the top of the palace. At one spot something was being suppressed. Only white bones remained but from the shape of the bones it was a flood dragon.
Ye Chu’s entire body tensed. What was a flood dragon? An unparalleled existence on the verge of transforming into a true dragon. Even if not equal to a supreme being it was definitely an absolute powerhouse. Yet now it had been suppressed by this palace until only bones remained.
Ye Chu’s expression turned grave. His heart pounded so hard it felt like it would jump out. He tightly held the already trembling Yang Hui and suddenly thought of a possibility. “Could this be the place where those few supreme powerhouses suppressed the evil dragon?”
“No it is not!” Yang Hui said to Ye Chu with a tone of certainty. “Look over there!”
Yang Hui pointed again. At that spot a cultivator was being suppressed. He too had turned into white bones. However beside the bones huge characters were carved into the palace. The words carried a desolate and unwilling aura that let one feel his helplessness at the time.
“Even supreme beings must die so what of us? We had hope of reaching supremacy but what does reaching it matter?”
Between the words there was boundless resentment. This resentment lingered in the air. Even from afar Ye Chu could feel its surging power. The owner of these bones was definitely an absolute powerhouse.
Moreover from his words he had clearly been a figure with hope of reaching supremacy. Yet even such a person had been shaken to death inside this palace.
“Even supreme beings must die!”
Ye Chu and Yang Hui felt their scalps go numb. A bone chilling coldness pierced through their entire bodies. What were supreme beings? Existences who stood alone across the nine heavens and ten lands. Unparalleled powerhouses with no equal. They stood high above all. Only time could kill them. Otherwise who could touch them?
Yet now someone was saying even supreme beings must die? This…
“Young… young master…” Yang Hui’s face turned deathly pale. She gripped Ye Chu’s hand tightly seeking some courage from him.
Ye Chu looked around and found many cultivators who had been shaken to death. Each had turned into white bones. Every set of bones emitted an unparalleled aura that proved how extraordinary they had been in life.
On the forehead of each skeleton there was a primordial spirit true source.
In any other place Ye Chu would have gone mad with greed upon seeing this. The primordial spirit true source of an absolute powerhouse was priceless. But here Ye Chu felt not a trace of greed. He understood very well that he could not obtain these things. Not him and not even an absolute powerhouse.
“This… this might be another forbidden ground in the Emotion Domain!” Yang Hui suddenly thought of something and said to Ye Chu.
“Forbidden ground?” Ye Chu’s heart jumped. He knew too well how terrifying forbidden grounds were. Back when he entered the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground if not for Ou Yi he would have died long ago.
Yang Hui said. “The Emotion Domain has several forbidden grounds. The well known one is the Ancient Nightmare Forbidden Ground. But there is one most mysterious forbidden ground that only exists in legends. Many even believe it does not exist and over time everyone has forgotten about it.”
“What forbidden ground?” Ye Chu asked.
“The Azure Flame Divine Palace that is said to have buried a supreme being!” Yang Hui’s voice trembled. Her heart was pounding. This was a term buried deep in her memory. If not for the shocking scene before her she would not have recalled it.
“Azure Flame Divine Palace?” Ye Chu asked in confusion. “It buried a supreme being?”
“Yes! Legend says a supreme being was shaken to death by the Azure Flame Divine Palace! It was just a legend before. No one believed it. How could a supreme being be shaken to death? Besides no one had ever seen the Azure Flame Divine Palace. Everyone thought it was a mythical place that did not exist. Before this I thought the same.” Yang Hui muttered.
Ye Chu stood dazed on the spot. His scalp went numb from this news. This was actually a forbidden ground and one that had shaken a supreme being to death. What exactly was this damned place?
Ye Chu could not even imagine what could shake a supreme being to death.
“Moreover there was another rumour back then. Several absolute powerhouses surrounded and attacked the evil dragon. Although the evil dragon had its tail severed it still escaped. It was not suppressed by those few absolute powerhouses. Now it seems that is not impossible…”
