Ye Chen discussed Han Wenxin's cultivation of protective powers rooted in avoiding karma and worldly troubles, affirming his intent to steer clear of conflicts. As the supreme figure dispersed, allowing the group to depart, Bai arrived with a jade box intended for Ye Chen, which Wei Ying swiftly reclaimed amid evident tension. After healing in seclusion for several days, Wei Ying warned Ye Chen against further trouble and revealed witnessing Ye Luo seize the Chong Guang Divine Radiance Palace from Xuanyuan Moxie during their fierce battle, a treasure holding vital powerhouses.

It’s unfortunate that Ye Luo is currently in an unusual condition, clearly failing to recognize Ye Chen and showing strong hostility toward him. The pair cannot come together now, or else Ye Luo could pass the Chong Guang Divine Radiance Palace to Ye Chen the moment he lays eyes on him.

Ye Chen gained plenty of insights from Wei Ying, while she also picked up details about Ye Luo from him. Learning that Ye Luo could still be somewhere in the Nine Death Realm, Wei Ying abandoned her plans to depart and chose instead to accompany Ye Chen in hunting for Ye Luo within the Nine Death Realm.

All members had healed from their wounds, including the core injuries Wei Ying endured from deploying the Juehan Annihilation, which Ye Chen’s blood had fully mended, leaving no concerns behind as they immediately embarked on their journey.

The Death Ancient City and all ties to the Nine Death Realm lay in ruins from the massive conflict, and it was no longer concealed or hard to find, with its position now firmly set.

Without delay, Ye Chen and his companions headed straight back to the wreckage of the Death Ancient City.

To safeguard Wei Ying’s identity, since many were watching her closely in hopes of extracting Emperor Juehan’s hidden knowledge from her, she cast spells to alter her energy signature and looks, dodging any prying eyes.

Before, an elder had assisted them in accessing the Nine Death Realm by creating the gateway. With that elder now dead, Ye Chen faced a dilemma about gaining entry to the Nine Death Realm.

After some exploration in the Nine Death Realm area, they uncovered a hint on the fallen elder’s remains. The elder lay skewered by a lengthy spear and fixed to the wall, and from the spot of penetration, a boundless and grand death aura poured forth.

The decaying energy was incredibly thick, and getting near it brought the sensation of an infinite deathly domain rising and fading inside that aura, precisely aligning with the energy inside the Nine Death Realm.

"This serves as the gateway to the Nine Death Realm."

Ye Chen’s gaze sharpened as he offered a respectful bow to the elder’s body, then directed his finger at the injury on it.

"Buzz!"

A torrent of death aura erupted outward, and right then, the elder crumbled into dust, revealing a profoundly enigmatic portal in front of them.

Vast death aura flowed around it, and the portal shaped from the elder’s form stood there, serving as the way into the Nine Death Realm.

As a protector of the Door of Death, the elder had unlocked the path to the Nine Death Realm for everyone who visited the Death Ancient City, and even after passing, he upheld his role by transforming into the gateway of the Nine Death Realm, a dedication that stirred emotions.

Following that, the group honored the elder once more before advancing into the Nine Death Realm.

The elder had become the gateway, which would endure without fading, meaning the Nine Death Realm was no longer a mysterious, hard-to-reach domain that demanded endless hunts, enabling any visitor to access it freely from this point.

Now, Ye Chen and his allies stepped into the Nine Death Realm, where sweeping waves of grand death aura rushed over them, yet with prior exposure, none felt any impact this round.

Each entry into the Nine Death Realm placed them in varying spots, and this occasion proved no different, dropping them into an entirely strange territory.

Ye Chen scanned the area, taking in the grand rivers coursing nearby, where eight mighty rivers crossed and looped around the spot, creating a junction that shaped a unique symbol, infused with ultimate appeal.

"This location isn’t ordinary at all."

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with insight, fully grasping the situation in his mind, while the rest observed with keen fascination.

This area concealed mysteries, some even alarmingly deep, but Ye Chen and his team’s goal in the Nine Death Realm wasn’t to delve into such enigmas.

Likewise, following Wei Ying and Han Wenxin’s counsel, Ye Chen aimed to steer clear of needless conflicts, so they didn’t stay long in the area and departed promptly.

Right after Ye Chen and his group moved on, Xuanyuan Moxie, hidden in the peaks near a waterfall’s origin, abruptly snapped his eyes open.

"I’ve sensed Ye Chen’s presence once more!"

Killing intent blazed through Xuanyuan Moxie’s frame, oblivious to the fact that the exact region where Ye Chen and his companions had materialized belonged to his controlled space.

To clarify, the domain Xuanyuan Moxie claimed was a hub for the Power of Water Origin in the Nine Death Realm, demanding a base, and those bases consisted of the many Yangtze rivers spread across the realm.

Within the Nine Death Realm, every water flow stemmed from the eight vast rivers at Ye Chen’s former position, and those rivers linked to Xuanyuan Moxie’s space, letting him detect Ye Chen’s arrival.

"I require a bit more time to master the Power of Water Origin completely."

Killing intent churned in Xuanyuan Moxie’s eyes as he delved back into absorbing the grand Power of Water Origin enveloping him, shutting his eyes once again.

"Once I reach perfection, Ye Chen, that marks your end!"

Concurrently, Xuanyuan Moxie thought back to his Chong Guang Divine Radiance Palace and Ye Luo’s actions amid his grave wounds and near-death state, fueling his aura to surge anew.

"And you, Sin Dragon, must face death as well!"

...

In the Nine Death Realm, Ye Chen and his companions reached the site of their earlier run-in with Ye Luo, yet no signs of Ye Luo lingered there anymore.

"They’ve vanished."

The Sky-covering Demon Emperor gazed at Ye Chen with a dark look on his face.

"Hmm."

Ye Chen nodded gradually, as the surroundings still carried a subtle trace of blood aroma, along with a touch of lingering grudge.

This blood aroma came from dragon scales, and the grudge carried an oddly recognizable feel to Ye Chen.

"The divine dragon that kidnapped Luo got killed, but it doesn’t appear that Luo handled it himself."

Ye Chen lifted an eyebrow a touch, noticing the earth still marked with abundant dragon scales, realizing Ye Luo’s typical attack would eradicate body and soul without such prominent remnants; this killing style looked intentionally vengeful.

Moreover, a domineering potent aura hung in the atmosphere, signaling that a formidable being had arrived on the scene.

Within those traces, energies from Han Yuan Venerate’s avatar and various unknown sources mixed in, alongside some that hinted at the dragon race.

"What precisely occurred in this spot?" Ye Chen’s gaze shifted, planning to employ the Heavenly Demon Bright Eye to trace the connections, but he found them rather hazy.

"Allow me to attempt it."

As Ye Chen geared up to activate the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, Wei Ying moved ahead and offered.

Hearing her words, Ye Chen agreed without hesitation, watching Wei Ying with intrigued eyes, aware of her vast array of skills. Being the ancient witch of Juehan Palace, Wei Ying truly could uncover the events that unfolded here.

"Heaven and Earth Without Limit, Juehan Cave Heaven, One Sword Breaks the Sea, manifest!"

Wei Ying murmured the chant softly, and a lengthy, timeless Dragonslayer Sword materialized in her grasp. The blade radiated boundless grandeur and deep Heavenly Mechanism Qi, as though every hidden truth of the cosmos was inscribed on its surface.

Right then, rays of light burst from the sword, a solemn and majestic aura swirled about, and infinite Heavenly Mechanism revelations emerged while storm clouds amassed overhead, lightning crackled and thundered.
