Rumours say that the Azure Flame Forbidden Land can extinguish gods and destroy immortals. The Cold Fire Emperor concluded at last, his voice trembling, yet the words he spoke made Ye Chu’s hair stand on end. He thought to himself, could this be another ancient nightmare forbidden land?
Ye Chu felt unwilling to accept it. With the black iron above his head, he pulled Yang Hui and continued advancing deeper. Even if this place truly was a deadly land, he still wanted to find a ray of hope for survival.
Young master. Yang Hui and Ye Chu kept moving deeper into the palace, which appeared even more desolate. Waves of pure power, like that born at the beginning of heaven and earth, surged continuously. The black iron blocked it with azure light, allowing the two to keep advancing.
It is fine. Ye Chu gently pinched Yang Hui’s soft little hand to signal her to relax.
Boom. Boom.
Just as Ye Chu and Yang Hui continued forward and went deep into the palace, the palace suddenly shook violently. The azure flame glazed gold light surged greatly, the glazed gold cracked open, and azure liquid rolled out. It sprayed forth like water from the sea, vast and boundless.
As the liquid surged, it carried extraordinary spiritual energy, as if from the birth of heaven and earth. Chaotic azure light shone brilliantly. Just a trace entering Ye Chu and Yang Hui’s bodies made them feel as if they had merged with the entire world, with all things seeming to gestate within themselves.
It was a strange feeling. When the sprayed azure liquid touched Ye Chu and Yang Hui, they felt as if their entire beings had become like all things, experiencing the growth and extinction of everything. It was a peculiar illusion, dreamlike and illusory, yet vividly real.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui both immersed themselves in this sensation. Their whole bodies became ethereal and detached, as if they would follow the birth and death of all things. Their entire beings turned illusory and were about to be assimilated by the surging power into the liquid itself.
Sizzle.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui became more and more ethereal. Their bodies were about to transform into the energy of heaven and earth as they stepped towards the azure chaotic liquid. At this moment, the black iron suddenly trembled with a sound, and light shot into Ye Chu and Yang Hui’s bodies. The previously lost pair instantly regained their senses.
Looking at the surging azure liquid before them and thinking of their actions just now, Ye Chu and Yang Hui felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their faces turned deathly pale with no colour left.
They knew very clearly the situation they had just been in. Without the black iron, they would really have turned into the liquid before them and ceased to exist.
Ye Chu took a deep breath and glanced at the black iron above his head. He thought that this place truly deserved to be called a forbidden land. Although there were no dried corpses like in the ancient nightmare forbidden lands, the dangers here were invisible. It used the profound ways of heaven and earth to bewilder cultivators. From the subtlety just now, Ye Chu could hardly imagine how many people could resist it.
Looking at the azure liquid before him, Ye Chu felt that such power was very peculiar. It could make people lose themselves, which meant it contained the way and the law within.
Ye Chu and Yang Hui continued forward and bypassed the surging azure chaotic liquid that was like sea water.
The two turned into the depths of the palace. After rounding a corner, their view suddenly opened up. Before them was a huge space, and Ye Chu looked down at this vast area.
Gazing at the palace below, Ye Chu and Yang Hui both stood frozen in place. They stared blankly ahead, swallowed their saliva, and their eyes revealed expressions of disbelief.
Young master. Chaos. Chaotic azure energy.
Below there was endless azure gas, like mist, covering the sky and the earth, filling the entire space. Every single strand of azure energy, upon close inspection, gave a feeling of transforming into a world of its own. The azure energy was very ethereal, with flowing brilliance and a sense of yin and yang intermingling, as if nurturing yin and yang to form a small world.
Chaotic azure energy was something no cultivator was unfamiliar with. Rumour had it that heaven and earth originally came from a chaotic azure lotus, and the chaotic azure lotus was formed from chaotic azure energy.
Later, gods and spirits were nurtured within the chaotic azure lotus. With great power they split open the heavens, breaking the chaotic azure lotus to create heaven and earth. The chaotic azure energy transformed into all things, becoming the origin power of everything.
Of course, some believed this legend while others did not. Ye Chu also held some doubts about it. There were many creation legends. In his previous life there was the story of Pangu splitting the heavens.
But regardless of whether the legend was true, it was enough to prove the preciousness of chaotic azure energy. It could be considered the highest quality spiritual energy in the current world.
This was the origin of all things. A single strand of azure energy could form a world. It was the essence of heaven and earth, the quintessence of all creation.
Rumour had it that obtaining chaotic azure energy offered the hope of nurturing one’s own small world. Even if one’s talent was insufficient, using it to refine tools would allow the resulting artefacts to merge with heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the world itself.
This was one of the most valuable items in the world. Even supreme beings would feel hot-eyed with envy upon encountering it.
The origin of all things. No matter what it is used for, cultivators can employ it. Ye Chu felt excited as he stared straight at the chaotic azure energy ahead. If he could collect enough chaotic azure energy, there would be so much he could do.
Chaotic azure energy was hard to find. Even supreme beings usually struggled to obtain it. In the world, the number of people who possessed chaotic azure energy could be counted on one’s fingers. Obtaining even a trace was an enormous opportunity.
Yet ahead there was an endless amount. The vast space was full of chaotic azure energy. Ye Chu now understood why the previously surging azure spiritual energy had such terrifying effects. It was probably because it had been contaminated with chaotic azure energy.
Young master, if we can obtain some, then. Yang Hui’s entire face flushed with excitement, looking charming and beautiful. If we can use chaotic azure energy to temper our qi seas and intent patterns, then.
At this point, Yang Hui felt her heart beating fiercely. This was an enormous opportunity that even supreme beings did not have. If it truly happened, they would absolutely be the first in history.
Normally they would not even dare to think about it. But before them lay endless chaotic azure energy. As long as they could take it, there was hope to do so.
Yang Hui’s suggestion also made Ye Chu’s mouth go dry. He exhaled lightly and stared straight down below. However, he still retained some reason. The power of chaotic azure energy that they had just touched was already so terrifying. As the origin of all things, the chaotic azure energy itself would only be more terrifying.
Ye Chu gritted his teeth and used his own power to draw in a strand of chaotic azure energy. Yet his power touching the chaotic azure energy felt like trying to shake a mountain. He could not move even the slightest bit.
Yang Hui tried the same. She gritted her teeth, but even driving her full power, she could not move the mist-like chaotic azure energy.
This.
Yang Hui felt shocked. She had not expected that this strand of mist-like azure energy would be as heavy as an entire world. It was simply not something she could move. Seeing a mountain of treasure but being unable to obtain it made both Yang Hui and Ye Chu feel extremely distressed.
Young master. Yang Hui looked at Ye Chu with unwillingness in her eyes.
Just as Ye Chu was about to say something, a booming sound came from below. The noise was extremely shocking. The endless mist-like chaotic azure energy below suddenly began to churn. As it rolled, the chaotic azure energy flowed, as if countless worlds were tumbling within it. It was spectacular, yet the same overwhelming aura surged forth.
But this was not what Ye Chu cared about. What made him unable to believe it was that in the middle of the churning mist, there was something that drove him mad, something that made his entire body have the impulse to jump down.
