Ye Chenfeng's bloodline awakens upon reaching the Divine King Realm, triggering seven massive golden light pillars across the Tian Xuan Realm. This unprecedented divine phenomenon signifies an incredibly powerful new bloodline, stunning the entire realm and prompting powerful figures like Luo Qianhai to investigate and potentially recruit the awakened individual. Meanwhile, Zhao Jinpeng and his companions rush back to ensure Ye Chenfeng's safety, unaware he is the one who awakened this supreme bloodline.

Among the ancestors of powerful groups like Xiao Yao Palace were Luo Qianhai, Tan Yuanwu, and Wu Lingxiang, to name a few.

The reason these seven pillars of the Divine King Realm were not attributed to Ye Chenfeng stemmed from the recent escape from the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral grounds. At that time, Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation had only reached the pinnacle of the sixth level of the Heavenly God Realm. The chasm between the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine King Realm is immense, a barrier that even many geniuses can never overcome, remaining forever at the peak of the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm.

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Chenfeng possessed the inner core of an ancient mire spider. While his talent was indeed extraordinary, arguably unprecedented, it was still believed insufficient to propel him into the Divine King Realm so swiftly.

For cultivators like Luo Qianhai, who were ancestors at the Divine King Realm, the journey from the seventh level's peak to the initial stage of the Divine King Realm had spanned centuries, often millennia, with no exceptions.

Furthermore, Ye Chenfeng had been directly confronting the Bloodswallow Clan before their departure! Where could he possibly have found the opportunity to break through? Simply surviving would have been the best possible outcome in such circumstances.

While the entire Tian Xuan Realm buzzed with discussions regarding Ye Chenfeng's seven Divine King pillars.

In an expanse of unending darkness.

Ye Chenfeng, having just ascended to the initial stage of the Divine King Realm, absorbed knowledge about bloodlines from Old Bai and Old Hei. His eyes narrowed slightly, his entire demeanor becoming more ethereal, imbued with a profound sense of mystery following his breakthrough.

With his formidable aura carefully contained, feeling the potent surge of power within him, Ye Chenfeng’s lips curved into a satisfied smile. Now, having reached the Divine King Realm, he could finally unleash his Divine Domain.

However, he sensed that the Divine Domain nestled within his brow was undergoing a significant transformation, a necessary process for every expert who enters the Divine King Realm. Typically, it requires about ten days after entering this realm to manifest the Divine Domain for the first time.

After his breakthrough to the Divine King Realm, Ye Chenfeng attempted to access his small world. Yet, within this oppressive dark space, an unseen force restrained him, making entry into the small world within the Chaos Ring impossible, although retrieving items from the Chaos Ring remained unobstructed.

Observing the colossal stone blocks hurtling past him, Ye Chenfeng realized the urgency of departing from this location. He surmised that Bai Xiaorou and Wu Lingxiang, among others, should have already returned to Central State, and no doubt the ancestors of Xiao Yao Palace had also made their way back there.

Ye Chenfeng remained deeply worried about the situation in Tianyuan Ancient City. It was regrettable that Luo Qianhai and the others could not be left behind within the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral land. Now, empowered by his breakthrough to the initial stage of the Divine King Realm, he felt absolutely confident in protecting Tianyuan Ancient City, provided he could extricate himself from his current predicament.

Typically, established teleportation arrays are situated within remarkably stable spatial dimensions.

Even powerful cultivators who tear through the void to traverse space do so through exceptionally stable rifts.

The Tian Xuan Realm is comprised of innumerable, distinct spaces, and Ye Chenfeng currently found himself in an endless dark void, characterized by the constant stream of massive stone blocks, a clear indication of its inherent instability.

Having fully recovered from his injuries and achieved his power breakthrough, Ye Chenfeng could now navigate this boundless space with freedom, his form propelling itself into the void ahead.

As he moved through the void, he adeptly evaded the immense, flying stone blocks.

This desolate place seemed boundless; aside from the gargantuan stone blocks shuttling through, there was virtually nothing else.

After many hours of traversing the void.

Ye Chenfeng’s movement abruptly ceased, his brow furrowed in concern. He sensed that something was amiss. Internally, he questioned, “Old Bai, Old Hei, have I been through this place before? Am I trapped in some loop? Have I lost my way?”

Old Bai Wu Fengxian and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian remained silent, seemingly deep in contemplation.

After a considerable pause.

Old Bai and Old Hei appeared to have grasped the situation. Old Bai Wu Fengxian finally spoke, “Young one, escaping this place may prove exceedingly difficult; this resembles the legendary Mystery Space.”

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voice carried a heavy tone, “Boy, in this world, tearing through the void allows one to enter Dimensional Space. Generally, those countless Dimensional Spaces are interconnected. However, only the Mystery Space exists in complete isolation.”

“The Mystery Space has persisted since the Ancient Era. It is said that any cultivator who enters the Mystery Space, even those at the Divine Venerable Realm, cannot find a way out. From the Ancient Era until now, countless cultivators have been carelessly swept into the Mystery Space; I have never heard of a single individual escaping it.”

Old Bai Wu Fengxian nodded, confirming, "That's correct, young one. Entering the Mystery Space means you'll lose your way permanently, condemned to wander here for eternity. It's quite unexpected that the collapse of the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral grounds would draw you into this place; you must be mentally prepared. With Old Hei and myself, getting you out will be an extremely arduous task."

Mystery Space?

Ye Chenfeng's spirits immediately sank. The initial exhilaration from achieving the Divine King Realm completely vanished. If the words of Old Bai and Old Hei held any truth, escaping this place would indeed be a monumental challenge.

From ancient times until the present, not a single soul who fell into the Mystery Space has ever managed to leave. This dire prognosis was terrible news for Ye Chenfeng, who was desperately eager to return to the Central State to attend to his unresolved matters. He simply could not afford any delays within the Mystery Space.

Ye Chenfeng pondered internally, "Old Bai, Old Hei, is there truly no way out of this predicament?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian responded, "Young one, continue exploring the vicinity of the Mystery Space while Old Hei and I endeavor to locate an exit."

Following Old Bai Wu Fengxian's directive, Ye Chenfeng proceeded deeper into the Mystery Space.

Five days elapsed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout these five days, Ye Chenfeng found himself ensnared in a bewildering labyrinth, and neither Old Bai nor Old Hei had succeeded in discovering an exit.

Ye Chenfeng came to a halt, intending to voice his thoughts internally.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A deafening rumble reverberated from all directions, assaulting Ye Chenfeng's ears.

Concurrently, the very fabric of the surrounding space began to convulse, sending a sharp jolt of dread through Ye Chenfeng's nerves.

For the past five days, Ye Chenfeng had encountered no immediate threats. However, this sudden eruption of chaos was undoubtedly an ominous sign.

The river of spiritual Qi flowing through his meridians was already circulating vigorously. His Divine Sense expanded outwards, meticulously probing the changes in his surroundings. His brow furrowed deeper as the tremors in space intensified, the booming sounds growing increasingly painful to his eardrums.
