Time passed bit by bit, and night fell.
In the Desolate God's Tomb, there was a place that no one had ever set foot in before. It was also the most dangerous place in the Desolate God's Tomb.
As far as the eye could see, boundless darkness enveloped everything. Endless evil demonic energy wantonly covered everything, as if it wanted to turn the entire Desolate God's Tomb into a demonic land.
Amidst the terrifying demonic energy, there was a figure standing quietly, as if the demonic energy could not shake him at all.
"Is this the Demon Abyss that you mentioned?"
Ye Chen raised his eyes. Two golden beams shot out from his eyes as if they ignored the boundless darkness and wanted to see the entire Desolate God's Tomb.
In front of him, demonic energy that was as black as ink penetrated the heavens and the earth. The demonic energy invaded all living beings in this place, as if they were standing in an abyss.
As the crimson divine flames flickered, the Emperor Seal's artifact spirit, Old Fan, appeared, "The reason why the Great Desolation Old Man chose this place as the Desolate God's Tomb was because there was a Demon Abyss here, and there seemed to be a demon suppressed inside!"
"Demon!"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed as if he wanted to see through the endless darkness, "This demon existed here before the Desolate God's Tomb was built?"
To be able to be called a demon, even if it could not compare to the Mysterious Immortals above the Nine Heavens, it was not inferior to the Tribulation Stage cultivators of the cultivation world.
"That's right!"
Old Fan nodded slightly and said, "Back then, after Great Emperor Xuanyuan suppressed his immortal body and immortal soul, it attracted the covetous eyes of countless people from the outer realm. In addition, the barrier of the Yinxu World was broken, causing the energy of the Demon World and the Netherworld to spread.
"Therefore, this is the origin of the demonic earth."
He sighed faintly, "There are many terrifying existences in the demonic earth, and the demonic earth energy is constantly invading the outside. If not for the barrier seal left behind by the Great Emperor, I'm afraid the so-called outer area, core, and forbidden zone would not exist in the entire Yinxu."
Ye Chen frowned, "Then how did this demon come here?"
If there really was a barrier seal left by Great Emperor Xuanyuan, with his ability to suppress ancient immortals, how could a mere demon pass through the seal?
"I'm not sure about that."
Old Fan's eyes flickered. Clearly, he understood the meaning behind his words and muttered, "I hope this demon was not placed here by someone with ill intentions. Back then, I was brought out by Old Man Great Desolation and my spiritual nature was chaotic. Even if I sensed it, I could not do anything."
"No matter what, since I've encountered this devil today, I'll eliminate him to prevent him from harming Earth in the future!"
Ye Chen shook his head. Then, golden flames burned in his eyes, piercing through the darkness of the entire Demon Abyss.
Amidst the vast Devil Qi, there was a flight of stairs leading to the end of the darkness.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He stepped forward and walked up the stairs. Old Fan turned into a Divine Dragon and hovered above his head, illuminating the entire Demonic Abyss.
It seemed to be a demonic well with no end. Ye Chen studied it as he walked. The wanton demonic energy was getting more and more terrifying. In the end, it was as if a demonic sea had erupted.
"Eh …"
Ye Chen suddenly said, "Although this demonic energy is extremely pure, it carries a trace of death energy as if its body has rotted. Could it be that what's being suppressed below isn't a demon but a demonic corpse?"
"That's possible!" Old Fan said solemnly.
As the two of them ventured deeper, they finally arrived at a huge karst cave. There were countless caves that looked like a beehive, and Ye Chen had entered from one of the entrances.
In the center of the karst cave, there was a huge cloud of black mist. Within the black mist, one could vaguely see a huge creature. The black mist was emitted from its body.
Apart from the terrifying Devil Qi, there was also endless death energy. As the two mixed together, they continuously spewed out into the countless caves around them.
"It's really a demonic corpse!"
The raging flames in Ye Chen's eyes soared again.
In his eyes, there was an incomparably huge man in the black mist. The man floated in mid-air. His body was like a mummy, and his skin was dark purple.
The most attractive thing about him was that this man had three vertical eyes, all of which exuded a strange aura. On his face, there were faint flickering demonic patterns that were extremely evil.
"It really is a demonic corpse!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered, "And it looks like it's a Three-eyed Demon from the Devil World. No wonder it gave me such a familiar feeling!"
At his peak, he had led the Immortal World's army to fight the Devil World more than once. In the Devil World's army, the most difficult to guard against was the Three-eyed Demon.
The members of the Three-Eyed Demon Race were born with three eyes, and each eye possessed extraordinary magical powers, such as Soul Snatching, Soul Snatching …
Old Fan suddenly said, "What's that on him?"
After his reminder, Ye Chen realized that there was a seedling on the Three-eyed Demon's body. The seedling was golden and was only the size of a palm. It looked like a seedling that had just grown out of the ground.
However, it was this seedling that remained motionless on the demonic corpse.
"What's this?"
Ye Chen was shocked at first, and then his body shook violently, "This is the World Tree seedling?!"
In this endless world, there was a divine object. This object was known as the World Tree, also known as the Supreme Sky Tree. This object stood in the middle of the world. Legend had it that the World Tree could grow endlessly and eventually grow directly into the Immortal World.
Therefore, countless people frantically searched for the World Tree because of this seemingly absurd rumor, trying to use the World Tree to reach the Immortal World.
Although this rumor seemed absurd to others, it was worthless to Ye Chen.
When he had just ascended to the Immortal World, he had seen the World Tree that had grown from the mortal world into the Immortal World, causing the order of the Three Realms to be in complete chaos.
At that time, the master of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Immortal Emperor Daozhen, ordered people to cut it off. As a result, the World Tree turned into countless fragments that scattered throughout the heavens. It also stopped the people of the lower realm from thinking of ascending to the heavens.
Ye Chen did not expect to see a World Tree seedling here.
"Could this seedling be born from the fragment that was cut off back then?"
Ye Chen started to size up the demonic corpse as he thought to this point. Subsequently, his gaze focused on the demonic corpse's heart.
There was a golden fragment the size of a fist, and the golden seedling had grown from it.
"As expected!"
Ye Chen came to a realization immediately. He could not help but say in surprise, "I didn't expect there to be a fragment of the World Tree here. Moreover, it has taken root and sprouted."
He then sized up the demonic corpse and said in the end, "This demonic corpse has died a long time ago. Moreover, a portion of its cultivation base and essence energy have been absorbed by this fragment of the World Tree. That's why it can take root and sprout."
"Is this demonic corpse already dead?"
The Emperor Seal's artifact spirit, Old Fan, heaved a sigh of relief.
Just when he was about to speak, he saw Ye Chen suddenly walk toward the demonic corpse. Then, a palm-sized dark green bottle appeared in his hand.
