Chapter Eighty-Five: Mysterious Inner Strength

  Twenty people were destroyed, the divine sword flashed lightning-like on the black clock, with a loud crash, the black clock was smashed and fell to the wall of the well, and stones fell down.

  This sword was quite fatal to the black great bell, the dark energy was dispersed, and the bell itself cracked, but it was instantly restored to its original state. The divine sword did not spare the bell, striking it again on the black bell.

  The sharpness of the divine sword was unmatched, and the black bell was equally extraordinary. The collision between the two produced a shockwave that turned everything around them into nothingness. However, Ye Chen's location seemed to be unaffected by the wave, remaining calm as ever. No matter how intense the battle here became, Ye Chen remained unscathed, still unconscious.

  A loud noise echoed far away in the deep well, and the expression on the face of the great void above was somewhat agitated and melancholic. On this day, the great void had waited for a very long time, since it fell into this place and transformed into Tianzi Mountain, the great void could no longer leave, nor could it enter the Yellow Spring to be reborn.

  The Yuanshen Bell at the bottom of the well has a powerful deterrent effect on ghosts, and the closer you get, the greater the chance of being sucked into the bell. People with low strength have already been trapped in this bell, including Da Kung, but he can still resist the suction force of the bell.

  Dà Kūn could only help those 64 generals, not letting them be sucked into the Yuán Hún Zhōng. However, as time passed, this would become increasingly difficult. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increased over a hundred years, the Yuán Hún Zhōng was gradually recovering, its suction power becoming much stronger.

  Not long ago, those two little girls were able to activate the Eight Gates Soul Locking Array. Once this array is activated, the 64 generals will no longer be controlled by Da Kun and can only exert a temporary influence. However, the strength displayed by the generals within the array is not under human control, but rather changes according to the strength of the person entering the array.

  Two little girls are also clever, realizing that the stronger they are, the harder it is to enter this formation and obtain their own Jiuzhou Mountain River Brush. They invite people to help them. Ye Chen and Chen Tao's group has already been the fifth group, and Da Kun doesn't have much patience anymore.

  Everyone who enters the deep well basically never comes out again, all of them are sucked into the clock by the Yuanshen Bell and transformed into a face. This is still the instinctual behavior of the Yuanshen Bell when it has not fully awakened. If the Yuanshen Bell were to thoroughly awaken, even Da Kung would have no opportunity to enter the Yellow Spring.

  Ye Chen's sudden breakthrough of the Soul Locking Array's Shocking Gate made Xiang Dakun's eyes light up, and the hope that had been somewhat dimmed was rekindled. The sharp sword aura, although not particularly formidable to the previous Xiang Dakun, was nonetheless a tangible entity, unlike his own ghostly form.

  So Ye Chen entered the ancient well, and all this happened. The time was not long, and the sharp breath, the piercing scream, etc. made Xiang Dakun's emotions fluctuate wildly, and eventually everything calmed down.

  The deep well no longer spewed out black air, nor was there any sword aura crisscrossing, everything seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened before. Quietly, I didn't know what situation would occur inside.

  If someone could enter the bottom of the well to take a look, they would definitely find that the black clock had disappeared, the sword energy had disappeared, and a very large empty space had appeared, empty and vast, pitch-black and boundless.

  Xiang Dakun did not approach, the previous few times made Xiang Dakun also become cautious, so this time Xiang Dakun did not rashly go to the top of the well to look, but patiently waited, waiting for the result that filled himself with hope or disappointment.

  After an unknown period of time, Ye Chen opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by complete darkness, unable to see the scene around him. What was even more astonishing was that he was lying in mid-air, neither touching the sky nor the ground, suspended in the void.

  Ye Chen thought back to where he was originally, which made him even more surprised. Originally, he was attacking that strange big clock, but now what's going on? Where did the big clock go?

  Ye Chen's mind was full of doubts, but he still looked around to see if there were any solid objects nearby. He looked left and right, but it was still pitch black and empty, like being in deep space, with no reference point, everything felt light and floating.

  This blackness was like the blackness of night, and it didn't have that original luster, nor did it have that piercing howl. Everything was quiet, without any sound.

  It's still that well! Ye Chen observed for a while, and replied affirmatively. The sky with only one round hole, although it didn't look very clear, could confirm that this was the ancient well. The previous scene was more blurred, but this time it seemed clearer.

  Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief, as long as it was still that well, he would be able to help Chen Tao and rescue him. With renewed spirit, Ye Chen hurriedly restored his internal energy and quickly made his way out.

  The boundary of the Innate Realm can indeed walk in the void, but it cannot go far, let alone Ye Chen is only a first-order person in the Innate Realm, and being able to stop in the void is already good enough, wanting to stroll in the void, dream on.

  Ye Chen circulated his internal energy, and suddenly he was stunned on the spot. With a thud, he fell to the ground, making a loud noise. His buttocks were sore from the fall, but Ye Chen seemed to feel nothing at all, sitting there motionless.

  What's going on? Ye Chen felt that the vigor in his body had become much colder and darker, unlike the original sharpness that left people speechless. Although half of this vigor still had the same feeling as before, the other half was gloomy and cold.

  He operated again, still with the same feeling. Ye Chen didn't know what had happened. Such a change in his own body, Ye Chen exerted his sword energy, the sword energy left his body, half white and half black, very distinct.

  The white was sharp, the black was gloomy, combined into a sword, which looked as strange as it could be, but the actual power displayed made Ye Chen take a big surprise. The black and white sword energy attacked the rocks below, and the rocks were cut in two like tofu.

  This sword aura is more heart-pounding and intimidating than the original white sword aura. Although Ye Chen's heart was worried that something bad would accompany it, he couldn't deny that after this change appeared, Ye Chen was still overjoyed.

  Ye Chen was at a loss for what to do, this black sword energy had obviously entered his body while he was unconscious, and now it had become a part of his body. Even though its final flow wasn't towards the Qihai acupoint, Ye Chen couldn't easily grasp its trajectory for the time being.

  Within a short period of time, it's definitely impossible to figure out this matter. Moreover, Chen Tao and others are still trying to rescue themselves, and Ye Chen doesn't have much time to stay here either. After several transfers, nothing unusual happened, and now that the internal force in his body is full, Ye Chen doesn't need to worry about anything.

  Yechen of Xiantian boundary stood up, and the long sword also disappeared without knowing where it went. Yechen looked at the dark top of his head, and a faint circle appeared.

  Yè chén jiǎo bù qīng tái, shēn tǐ jiù zhè mei wú fēng zì dòng, bǐ zhí de cháo shàng ér qù, jì yuán zhī qián de yī zuò wǔ xué shèng dì, yǒu yī zhǒng jué xué jiào zuò tī yún zòng, jù shuō néng yī bù yī bù dēng tiān ér qù, zhí shàng jiǔ chóng xiāo.

  Ye Chen's pace was not the same as Tui Yun Zong, it was just the control of Xian Tian Jing, controlling the Qi in his feet and rising up, looking similar to Tui Yun Zong but actually being worlds apart when truly executed.

  The energy consumed by Ti Yunzi is extremely small, and it can even be replenished while being consumed, with the replenishment speed being faster than the consumption. However, Ye Chen's consumption rate is astonishingly fast, perhaps after a hundred steps, his internal energy would be completely depleted.
