Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 1169 - 1109: A Choice of Life or Death

When Ye Chen once again flew out of the Ice Pillar Treasure Space and returned to the second Treasure Cave, all eyes once more focused on him.

Upon sensing that Ye Chen still did not carry the aura of a Star Lord level treasure, Hua Tianjue’s expression turned extremely grim.

However, he still said to Ye Chen indifferently, "Open your storage space and let us search it."

Hua Tianjue’s kind of sensing wasn’t completely accurate; he needed to see with his own eyes to be truly reassured.

As Hua Tianjue spoke up, the other entitled ones like Overlord Hongjue, Overlord Hongyu, Situ Chen, Yuan Qingzi, and Ao Ning surrounded Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had already seen such a situation before when others ahead were searched for their storage spaces.

Ye Chen didn’t say much either.

With a simple movement of his hand, a storage space appeared in his palm, and he proceeded to open it, allowing these powerful figures to inspect it.

Hua Tianjue and the others rudely extended their Divine Senses into the storage space, scanning through each treasure inside.

Ye Chen even felt that aside from Yuan Qingzi and Situ Chen, who had a decent relationship with him and did not conduct extra searches, the others not only scanned the storage space but also thoroughly searched his body, trying to see if he had any hidden storage space within!

This feeling of being probed by others was extremely unpleasant.

Ye Chen’s expression also turned cold.

"If I were strong enough, why would I bother hiding treasures? Even if they were outside, they wouldn’t dare probe me even slightly."

However, amidst the grim expression, Ye Chen sneered inwardly.

He could sense that no matter how Hua Tianjue and others searched, they couldn’t detect the Stars Tower in his Qi Sea.

This kind of divine object was simply beyond their perception!

After a thorough search yielded nothing, Hua Tianjue and the others finally gave up. They waved their hands, allowing Ye Chen to retreat to one side.

Then, they looked towards the next Sovereign level genius who was to retrieve the treasure and said, "You go fetch the treasure too!"

The Sovereign level genius stepped out and flew into an ice pillar.

After Ye Chen stepped aside, Ning Xiaoxiao quietly approached his side.

Ning Xiaoxiao transmitted her voice to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, the upcoming treasure hunt might not go smoothly. If possible, we should just leave the Chaotic Heavenly Hall and head outside."

Ye Chen understood what Ning Xiaoxiao meant.

This was only the second Treasure Cave, and the level of treasures had already increased to at least Overlord level, with the highest even reaching Star Lord level.

Those powerful Overlords had already started making moves to seize the treasures.

As for the third Treasure Cave, the treasures will probably be even more precious, and those Overlords will directly fight for them!

The only chance to seize the treasure in the last Treasure Cave, if even the minimum level treasure rises once more to reach Cosmic Emperor level, those Overlords would definitely not let it pass.

For Ye Chen and Ning Xiaoxiao, it meant there was essentially no chance to take the treasure.

Moreover, the guardian demon at the second Treasure Cave was already at the Peak Overlord level, so the guardian at the third Treasure Cave would likely be even more terrifying.

Whether they could even reach the third Treasure Cave was still uncertain.

Under such circumstances, it was understandable for Ning Xiaoxiao to want to leave the Chaotic Heavenly Hall.

However, although Ye Chen could foresee that the upcoming treasure hunts would not be easy, he was not willing to give up.

If he didn’t have so many backup plans, perhaps he wouldn’t continue to press on.

But now, with enough aces up his sleeve, this mysterious place called Chaotic Heavenly Hall in the Primal Beginning Universe was so magical that Ye Chen of course wanted to explore it!

This opportunity was extremely rare!

There might be a long time ahead without another chance to explore such a mystical place for treasures!

Such an opportunity must be seized!

Ye Chen also wanted to see if there were any more precious treasures ahead, or perhaps he might encounter another divine object capable of awakening the Chaos Cauldron, or even a chance to advance his realm like in the First Layer of Heaven.

Ye Chen would certainly not give up!

Hua Tianjue and the others didn’t even have the right to make him give up!

"The upcoming challenges probably won’t be simple," Ye Chen responded to Ning Xiaoxiao, "but I’m not planning to give up just yet."

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Chen incredulously.

She could tell that Ye Chen had surely anticipated the dangers and the Overlords’ keen watch. In such circumstances, to say he hadn’t thought of it would make sense for continuing, but if he had thought of it and still decided to press on, it would either mean he was too greedy or he had absolute confidence.

Too greedy?

From watching Ye Chen navigate the hurdles and breakthroughs at the Ancient Mountain earlier, Ning Xiaoxiao could tell Ye Chen wasn’t a person driven by greed but did things with absolute assurance.

This meant that Ye Chen was confident of handling any dangers that may arise?

The upcoming threats were likely to be of Cosmic Emperor level, weren’t they?!

He might even clash with those Peak Overlords, and yet Ye Chen felt capable of handling it?

Ning Xiaoxiao clearly remembered that earlier when those Overlords demanded Cosmic Emperor level treasures, Ye Chen didn’t produce any. In such a situation, Ye Chen could still handle it?

Ning Xiaoxiao found herself more and more unable to understand Ye Chen.

However.

After all, Ning Xiaoxiao and Ye Chen were just passing acquaintances, and Ning Xiaoxiao could see that Ye Chen didn’t want her to meddle too much.

In the end, Ning Xiaoxiao could only tell Ye Chen to be careful.

The treasure gathering continued.

Soon, the last two Sovereigns’ treasure gathering also ended completely.

One Sovereign only obtained two Overlord Level treasures, while the other obtained one Cosmic Emperor Level treasure and one Overlord Level treasure.

This last Cosmic Emperor Level treasure was snatched by Situ Chen.

The treasure hunt in the entire second Treasure Cave finally came to a complete end.

This time, it seemed that besides Ye Chen, no one else was truly delighted.

Although Hua Tianjue and others obtained Cosmic Emperor Level treasures, they couldn’t get the most precious Star Lord Level treasure, leaving them quite frustrated.

And the remaining few either had their hard-earned Cosmic Emperor Level treasures snatched away, or only obtained Overlord Level treasures, and weren’t too thrilled either.

At this moment, it was finally time to explore the third Treasure Cave on the Third Layer of Heaven.

After the treasure gathering ended, Hua Tianjue strode forward, heading directly towards the passage behind the second Treasure Cave, and the others followed suit.

A few who hesitated began looking for any opportunity to leave the Chaotic Heavenly Hall.

Perhaps the creator of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall knew that the last Treasure Cave was a more terrifying life-and-death trial. As many expected, while they were still on their journey, not having truly reached the passage of the third Treasure Cave, an opportunity to leave appeared ahead.

After walking for about half a cup of tea’s time, an Ancient Teleportation Formation and a Light Gate appeared ahead.

At the same time, two advisory stone tablets were placed beside the Ancient Teleportation Formation and the Light Gate.

According to the stone tablets, the Ancient Teleportation Formation leads outside the Chaotic Heavenly Hall. If you want to leave, just enter the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

The Light Gate, however, serves as the entrance to the passage to the third Treasure Cave.

The stone tablets advised that the danger level of venturing into the third Treasure Cave would dramatically increase. Without absolute confidence, one should either not venture in or be prepared for death.

This warning greatly changed the expressions of those who were already hesitant, and others didn’t look too pleased either.

Even Hua Tianjue, with combat power at the Cosmic Emperor level, couldn’t guarantee being able to get past the guardian demon of the third Treasure Cave.

After all, the demon in the first Treasure Cave was at the peak Divine Master level, while the demon in the second was at the peak Overlord level. Following this pattern, the demon in the third Treasure Cave is very likely to be at the peak Cosmic Emperor level!

Even if not following this rule, the demon in the third Treasure Cave surely reaches the Cosmic Emperor level.

The danger inside is self-evident.

At this moment, it was a crossroads of choices.

Either venture further or leave!

Seeing the two advisory stone tablets, Hua Tianjue turned and said to the others, "You all see the instructions here too."

"I won’t say more, I will just remind you that the upcoming danger is something you’ll have to handle personally. If you die in the danger, don’t blame us for not helping."

"No matter what you choose, I am going to continue pressing forward!"

Having said that, Hua Tianjue solemnly stepped directly into the Light Gate and entered the exploration entrance of the third Treasure Cave.

Seeing Hua Tianjue take action, others also made their decisions one after the other.

Overlord Hongjue and Overlord Hongyu, the Sovereigns of Linglong Divine Land, gritted their teeth and entered the Light Gate directly.

Sovereign Situ Chen, Yuan Qingzi, and even Ao Ning, a powerful Peak Divine Master, these formidable figures also didn’t give up and chose to continue forward.

However, among the remaining three Divine Masters, two chose to give up, one of whom was Divine Master Yuan Feng, who was in the same group as Ye Chen. They left the Chaotic Heavenly Hall using the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

Below the Divine Master level, talents made their choices.

Yu Shendu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and also stepped into the Light Gate.

Ning Xiaoxiao and Ye Chen exchanged a glance but chose to leave.

The two Sovereigns behind even chose to leave before Ye Chen did.

Finally, the only one left to make the choice was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at the Light Gate, stared for a moment, then directly stepped into the Light Gate.

Fifteen people were still alive.

In the end, six great Overlords, Ao Ning, another Divine Master, along with Ye Chen and Yu Shendu, a total of ten people decided to continue exploring.

The remaining five left straightforwardly.

Only ten entered the passage to the third Treasure Cave to begin their expedition.

As Ye Chen stepped into the Light Gate, the next moment, he came directly into a new passage.

By this time, the nine who entered the Light Gate before him, like Hua Tianjue and others, were out of sight. However, Yu Shendu hadn’t gone too far.

Perceiving that someone else had entered the passage through the Light Gate, Yu Shendu was taken aback and turned to look at Ye Chen.

When discovering that it was Ye Chen who chose to continue exploring, Yu Shendu was stunned.

He hadn’t expected that Ye Chen, who hadn’t previously obtained a Cosmic Emperor Level treasure, would have the courage to venture into the third Treasure Cave, which likely reached the Cosmic Emperor danger level!
