Ye Chenfeng and Feng Wuji encounter a powerful Chaos Griffon, a former subordinate of Chang Manlong trapped by a seal. The beast, sustained by Longevity Spirit Ganoderma, reveals its desperation to escape its confinement. Ye Chenfeng proposes a deal: he will help remove the seal if the Griffon allows him to leave and refrains from attacking.

This Ghost Cloud Cave.

Back in the Chaos Era, it was layered with prohibitions set by Chang Manlong.

Therefore, every single stone that collapsed is filled with the power of these prohibitions.

The Chaos Griffon looked at Feng Wuji: "Can you help me regain my freedom?"

Feng Wuji hesitated in his voice. He also noticed the extraordinary nature of the chain shackling the Chaos Griffon. However, he was neither an Array Master nor an Artifact Refiner and had no means to free the Chaos Griffon. After all, he only possessed the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, while the Chaos Griffon chained up had the Middle Stage strength.

Feng Wuji didn’t dare to bluff now. If he claimed he could free the Chaos Griffon and was then immediately asked to act, the Chaos Griffon might just kill him.

After shaking his head, Feng Wuji said, "I don’t have a way for now."

"So, you’re toying with me?" The Chaos Griffon’s aura surged, and its right paw suddenly swiped at Feng Wuji.

The whole black right paw rapidly extended in the air, its speed so fast that it didn’t even leave an afterimage.

The black paw struck toward Feng Wuji’s chest.

Feng Wuji immediately blocked with his arms in front, his body emitting black Spiritual Energy that formed a thick protective layer around him.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, the Chaos Griffon’s black paw shattered Feng Wuji’s spiritual shield effortlessly.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

"Puff!"

After breaking through the spiritual shield, the black paw struck Feng Wuji’s arms, quickly fracturing the bones within them.

After both arms drooped down, the black paw finally struck his chest.

Feng Wuji’s body flew backward, blood spurting from his mouth, landing heavily on the ground.

He couldn’t withstand even a casual attack from the Chaos Griffon, highlighting the gap between the Initial and Middle Stages of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Feng Wuji lay on the ground, unable to get up. His chest hit by the Chaos Griffon, he felt his internal organs shifting. A few more strikes, and he would definitely be dead.

Retracting its paw, the Chaos Griffon ignored the fallen Feng Wuji and fixed its fierce gaze on Ye Chenfeng: "Do you know the price of deceiving me?"

Ye Chenfeng calmly replied, "Of course, I know. Are you now choosing to trust me?"

The Chaos Griffon paused before responding, "Go ahead, how will you help me unlock the chain around my neck?"

Ye Chenfeng answered, "After a preliminary assessment, this chain falls under the category of an Immortal Artifact and is inscribed with various formations. For me to unlock this chain, I must first observe it carefully."

"I forgot to introduce myself; I am a Ninth Grade Artifact Refiner and also quite skilled with formations."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s introduction, the Chaos Griffon coldly remarked, "Observe the chain as you will, but if I find out you’re deceiving me, I’ll crush you to pieces with a swipe of my paw."

Not far away, Feng Wuji lay on the ground, observing the development of the situation.

Ye Chenfeng slowly approached the Chaos Griffon. The closer he got, the more he sensed an eerie coldness, undoubtedly emanating from the Chaos Griffon.

Ye Chenfeng wasn’t entirely confident about unlocking the chain. Even if he was, he wouldn’t easily do it.

Before the chain is unlocked, he still has leverage to negotiate with the Chaos Griffon. Once it’s unlocked, he’ll have nothing, moreover, here the Space Law is restricted, preventing him from entering the small world within the Chaos Ring.

Ye Chenfeng grasped the chain and began to sense it carefully.

This chain binding the Chaos Griffon was indeed exceedingly special, continuously siphoning the Chaos Griffon’s internal power. It’s as if the Chaos Griffon’s own force is both activating the chain and ensnaring itself.

The formations inscribed on the chain’s surface were immensely complex, with at least a thousand intricate formations drawn on this chain. Unlocking it seemed anything but easy.

Suddenly.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes fixed on the stone wall behind the Chaos Griffon.

Characters were carved into the stone wall. Perhaps due to the passage of time, the wall was entirely covered in dust, rendering the characters nearly unreadable.

Out of curiosity.

Ye Chenfeng reached out to remove the dust from the stone wall; the Chaos Griffon didn’t stop him.

After removing the dust.

Ye Chenfeng began slowly examining the carved characters on the wall. What remained was a journal—a journal about Artifact Refiners—and it recorded the key to entering the realm of Supreme Artifact Refining.

Back in the Chaos Era, Chang Manlong was also a Supreme Artifact Refiner, a top-tier figure among them.

The characters on this stone wall were carved by Chang Manlong back then.

Thus.

Each character contained a special profound meaning regarding artifact refining. Currently, Ye Chenfeng was only a Ninth Grade Artifact Refiner, and given his current refining level, unlocking the chain was quite difficult. However, if he entered the ranks of Supremes, the difficulty would reduce significantly.

Ye Chenfeng could indeed gain insight into the profound meanings imbued in the characters on this stone wall.

"I need to comprehend these first, which will be more favorable for me to help you unlock the chain." Ye Chenfeng glanced at the Chaos Griffon before sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Chaos Griffon, seeing Ye Chenfeng so carefree, felt angry inside but forcibly restrained itself. It knew that the characters carved into the wall were experiences in becoming a Supreme Artifact Refiner. If Ye Chenfeng’s refining level improved, its chances of obtaining freedom would increase.

Nevertheless.

The Chaos Griffon was very displeased with Ye Chenfeng. Once it regains its freedom, the first thing it will do is to kill Ye Chenfeng.

Time swiftly passed.

In a blink, five days had gone by.

Ye Chenfeng remained in a state of comprehension.

Meanwhile, outside.

Since Ye Chenfeng was trapped beneath the collapsed Ghost Cloud Cave.

Wu Fengxian and Jiang Yuntian hadn’t left. They stayed so that if anything happened, they could assist Ye Chenfeng immediately.

Meanwhile, in the sky.

The fragmented sky shattered more and more bizarrely, and suddenly, the entire sky began to shake violently.

Then.

The increasingly ruptured sky split more, and openings like doors floated in the sky.

These door-like openings were the so-called Divine Gates.

Now, the Divine Gates fully opened.

Through these Divine Gates, one could directly reach the Divine Source Realm where the Hes resided.
