Ye Chenfeng pushes his cultivation to the late-stage Divine Emperor Realm by absorbing a surge of Heavenly Dao power, despite suffering severe injuries. As the restrictive dark space dissipates, he and his companions realize they are still in danger and must find the source of the restrictions within the Demon Emperor's tomb before they are overwhelmed by approaching enemies.

Upon hearing this.

Ye Chenfeng stopped wasting words, continuing to speed forward while carefully sensing every slightest disturbance in the air.

At first he couldn’t feel anything from the air at all—after all, right now his cultivation was completely sealed.

The others kept glancing at him from time to time; whether they could leave this place alive or not, every shred of hope was entirely pinned on him.

From the direction behind them, one Divine Emperor Realm Late Stage aura after another was becoming clearer. If those things releasing Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm pressure caught up, then given their current state, even with Green Flame, they would be doomed without a doubt.

After his initial attempts failed to sense any clues in the air, Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed tightly. He did his best to keep his emotions calm, continuously adjusting his breathing, and started sensing with even greater care.

Suddenly.

He vaguely felt a trace of strange energy fluctuation in the air, but that trace of strange fluctuation flashed and vanished in an instant, and he simply couldn’t fully capture it.

At this moment.

Far behind them, the Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm auras were already faintly crashing toward them. Ye Chenfeng could no longer afford to waste time and resumed sensing.

Some distance behind them, five pitch‑black leopards were seen, rapidly pursuing Ye Chenfeng’s group. At their current speed, they would catch up to Ye Chenfeng and the others in about five minutes.

These five black leopards were all in a phantom state; clearly they were no longer living creatures in the true sense, yet the Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm pressure on them was absolutely real.

Each of the five black leopards was more than three meters tall, with a body length of five to six meters, and in their eye sockets glowed eerie violet pupils.

As they advanced they didn’t avoid the trees in the woods; wherever they passed, every tree, flower, and blade of grass was crushed to powder in an instant.

These gigantic phantom black leopards were filled with endless killing intent; clearly, their target was Ye Chenfeng and the others.

And Ye Chenfeng’s group still didn’t know that the ones chasing them were these huge phantom leopards.

These black leopards should also be some kind of beast from the Chaos Era. This place belonged to the tomb of the Chaos Demon Emperor. Throughout the entire Chaos Era, among all the beasts, the Chaos Demon Emperor’s achievements were the greatest, so in the eyes of the beasts of the Chaos Era, the Chaos Demon Emperor was a faith.

It could be said that among the beasts of the Chaos Era, the Chaos Demon Emperor’s call was answered by all.

Ye Chenfeng’s sensing became even more meticulous, and vaguely, he once again felt that same strange energy fluctuation from before.

This time, before that strange energy fluctuation could flash and disappear, the beating frequency of the Star Sky Stone in his heart suddenly sped up.

As the Star Sky Stone’s beating quickened, an extreme sensing power seeped out from within it. This sensing power attached itself to Ye Chenfeng’s body, allowing him to firmly lock onto that strange energy fluctuation at once.

Once he captured that strange energy fluctuation, Ye Chenfeng seemed to sense a thin line appearing in the air, continuously extending forward. He immediately followed this line at high speed: “I’ve sensed it—everyone, follow me.”

Following that invisible thread of energy he had perceived, Ye Chenfeng pushed his speed to the limit.

Fortunately, their luck was fairly decent: the thread’s end was nearby. After they sprinted for three minutes at full speed—

A cave appeared before Ye Chenfeng and the others.

There was no time to think or hesitate now; Ye Chenfeng charged straight into the cave.

After entering the cave—

The space inside wasn’t very large. In the center of the floor of this space was embedded a huge Blue Crystal Stone.

Dense array patterns were etched across the surface of this Blue Crystal Stone. This Blue Crystal Stone should be the core of all the restriction force in this place.

Given their current strength, it was impossible for them to shatter this Blue Crystal Stone in a short time.

Without saying anything, Ye Chenfeng directly summoned out Green Flame and had Green Flame begin burning this Blue Crystal Stone.

Under the burning of Green Flame, this Blue Crystal Stone actually showed no change whatsoever, making Ye Chenfeng and the others’ faces turn grim.

After a minute passed—

With Green Flame continuously burning it, some of the array patterns on the Blue Crystal Stone slowly began to fade.

Ye Chenfeng steadied his mind at once. “Maybe we just need to damage the patterns on the Crystal Stone so they’re no longer connected, and the restriction force will be broken as well.”

Yet right as his voice fell—

Streams of powerful Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm pressure surged into the cave.

With their cultivation suppressed, Ye Chenfeng and the others immediately felt a tightness in their chests.

As the pressure flooding into the cave grew ever thicker, and those black leopards were about to rush inside—

Finally, under the burning of Green Flame, a portion of the array patterns on the Blue Crystal Stone all snapped apart.

At the instant that part of the patterns on the Blue Crystal Stone broke—

Their expressions immediately relaxed; they felt the restriction force around them completely vanish.

Neither the suppression on their cultivation, nor the suppression on Space Law, remained.

And the moment the restriction force on them disappeared—

The blue light curtain that had split this little world in two suddenly exploded in mid‑air.

After exploding, the blue light curtain transformed in the sky into countless lights of different colors.

With their cultivation no longer suppressed, Ye Chenfeng and the others rushed out of the cave. Facing five Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm black leopards, taking them down was child’s play.

After all, Ye Chenfeng himself was now at Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm. It could be said he dispatched these five Late Stage Divine Emperor Realm Phantom Beasts without the slightest effort.

Only, their brows were furrowing tighter and tighter.

They saw that after the blue light curtain exploded, the lights of various colors it became—

Were now slowly condensing into all kinds of Phantom Beasts. Among these condensing Phantom Beasts, the weakest aura was at the Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage, and quite a few were even Late Stage and Peak Divine Emperor Realm Phantom Beasts—and their numbers were far from small.

In only a few minutes or so—

All those different-colored lights had condensed into beast after beast, numbering at least in the tens of thousands.

All these newly formed beasts were dropping toward the ground, with quite a few falling toward Ye Chenfeng’s group.

Tens of thousands of Phantom Beasts?

And all of them carrying Divine Emperor Realm pressure?

This was truly a grand handiwork.

It seemed the Chaos Demon Emperor had long anticipated that someone might be able to find a way to break the restriction, and so he had arranged this massive “surprise” for whoever destroyed the restriction force.
