Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 805 - 756: Retrieving the Treasure
At the very bottom of the Ice Coffin, a huge Treasure Palace suddenly appeared!
In the land of the Demon Tomb, where Ancient Demonic Beasts are buried, the emergence of three Ice Coffins was already strange enough, yet now, there's a huge Treasure Palace hidden within the Ice Coffin; this surely made it all the more incredible.
One must realize that the land of the Demon Tomb was designed to bury Ancient Demonic Beasts. Who would go to the trouble of building Ice Coffins and a Treasure Palace for Ancient Demonic Beasts?
Ye Chen had heard that the Sovereigns who had hunted down the Ancient Demonic Beasts would simply toss their remains into the Demon Graves within the Demon Tomb.
Ye Chen had never heard of such deliberately crafted Demon Graves!
"Could it be that this is not simply a burial ground for Demon Creatures but contains some deeper Mysterious secret?"
Whilst contemplating in his heart, Ye Chen looked towards the huge Treasure Palace that had appeared at the very bottom of the left Ice Coffin.
Then, he directly saw two colossal tiger-headed humanoid Skeleton Guards with long tails standing outside the palace gate, each hundreds of feet tall.
Although these two Skeleton Guards appeared to be lifeless, the black patterns revealed on their bones made it evident that they were the remains of the powerful Demon Creatures born in the "Ancient Demon Abyss" of the Western Territory of the Divine Kingdom!
Strange.
Ye Chen felt something peculiar in his heart.
In this place where Ancient Demonic Beasts were buried, the remains of two Ancient Demonic Beasts stood at the entrance.
Shouldn't they have simply been thrown into this tomb?
Why did it seem as though these two long-tailed Demon Skeleton Guards were guardians at the gate of this vast hall?
As Ye Chen pondered, Fairy Luo Yun beside him spoke, "Ye Chen, don't be fooled by the dead appearance of these two Ancient Demonic Beasts' skeletons. Once you get within a hundred zhang of them, they will awaken and launch an attack on the intruders."
"I have entered this Treasure Palace before, and I have some experience bypassing these two Ancient Demonic Beasts' Skeleton Guards. Just follow me."
Ye Chen nodded his head.
His main purpose in coming to this Demon Tomb was to help Fairy Luo Yun retrieve the Treasure she desired.
Now that they had arrived at the location of the Treasure, it was natural to follow Fairy Luo Yun, who was familiar with this place.
Seeing Ye Chen nod, Fairy Luo Yun smiled lightly and flew towards the palace entrance.
Fairy Luo Yun was, of course, completely at ease with Ye Chen.
She had witnessed Ye Chen's methods when he severely wounded the three Demon Creatures of the Three Evils Sea. Even their escape from the Three Evils Sea was greatly aided by a Treasure given to her by Ye Chen.
Fairy Luo Yun even had a premonition that, in times of true crisis, she might perish in the Demon Tomb, but Ye Chen would probably remain unharmed.
In the blink of an eye, Fairy Luo Yun had reached a hundred zhang from the entrance of the Treasure Palace.
Ye Chen also followed close by Fairy Luo Yun's side, arriving at the entrance of the Treasure Palace.
At this moment, the two towering long-tailed Ancient Demonic Beasts' Skeleton Guards that had been motionless suddenly made a "crack-crack-crack" sound as their bones began to move vigorously. Even the eye sockets flashed with a dim blue flame, awakening!
As Fairy Luo Yun had previously said, these were not simply dead skeletons; they were indeed the guardians at the entrance of the Treasure Palace!
Boom! Boom!
Upon awakening, these two Skeleton Guards exhibited the formidable Combat Power that could instantly annihilate countless Lower Earthly Divine Venerables.
At that moment, Fairy Luo Yun pinched a spell between her fingers, and her body suddenly shone with layers of radiant light, which enveloped both her and Ye Chen.
The terrifying attacks from the two Skeleton Guards, upon encountering the radiant light emitted by Fairy Luo Yun, were dissipated instantaneously, not breaching the light in the slightest, let alone injuring Fairy Luo Yun and Ye Chen inside.
Seeing that their attacks were ineffective, the two Skeleton Guards seemed to become even more enraged. They instantly conjured long swords in their hands and began charging towards Fairy Luo Yun and Ye Chen wielding their swords.
At that moment, Fairy Luo Yun just smiled lightly, and the protective radiant light around her body suddenly burst forth with beams of light.
These beams of light directly blasted the two Ancient Demonic Beasts' Skeleton Guards into fragments!
Then, Fairy Luo Yun and Ye Chen passed through the hindrance of the two Ancient Demonic Beast Skeletons and entered the grand entrance of the Treasure Palace.
However, as Ye Chen looked back, something startling happened.
The fragments of the two Ancient Demonic Beast Skeletons that Fairy Luo Yun had blasted to pieces started to reassemble in the air and eventually turned back into two intact long-tailed skeletons, once again standing guard at the entrance of the great hall.
They did not attack Ye Chen and Fairy Luo Yun again.
It was as if the two had now earned the right to enter the Treasure Palace.
The fact that the two Ancient Demonic Beast Skeletons could be revived was already astonishing enough for Ye Chen, but seeing them revert to their original state was even more terrifying!
Although these two Ancient Demonic Beasts appeared to have the combat power of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable, it seemed as if they were powered by some inexplicable force behind them.
Seeing the shock in Ye Chen's eyes, Fairy Luo Yun seemed to understand what he was thinking.
She said to Ye Chen, "This Demon Tomb is no ordinary tomb of Ancient Demonic Beasts. Although I don't yet know what this Demon Tomb truly is, the one who is truly buried here would likely be much more frightening than the Ancient Demonic Beasts!"
"The two Skeleton Guards at the entrance we just passed through are probably expressly created by the master of this Demon Tomb!"
"Moreover, there are hundreds of such guards within the Treasure Palace. Last time, I made it all the way to the final group of guards and had even glimpsed the treasure trove inside the palace, only to be driven out by the guards at the end."
"That last batch of guards had the combat power of an Immortal Divine Venerable!"
Hearing Fairy Luo Yun's words, a sense of gravity flashed through Ye Chen's heart.
"Someone capable of refining the corpses of hundreds of Ancient Demonic Beasts to guard this Demon Tomb? And among these Ancient Demonic Beasts, there are even those with the corpses of an Immortal Divine Venerable?"
"Who has the audacity to undertake such a monumental task?!"
"If it was a human Martial Artist, why would they choose to place their tomb within the Demon Tomb territory?"
Caught between doubt and solemnity in his Mind and Spirit, Ye Chen followed behind Fairy Luo Yun as they continued towards the interior of the Treasure Palace.
Indeed, just as Fairy Luo Yun had mentioned, the two encountered group after group of Skeleton Guards obstructing their way.
The deeper they ventured into the Treasure Palace, the more formidable the Skeleton Guards they encountered.
Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable level, mid-level Heavenly Divine Venerable, Upper Heavenly Divine Venerable...

By the time the two had breached dozens of pathways within the Treasure Palace and entered its true inner sanctum, they had already bypassed the blockade of several hundred Ancient Demonic Beast Skeletons!
Fortunately, Fairy Luo Yun was no ordinary person, possessing combat power on par with a Mid-level Immortal Divine Venerable and also knowing methods to subdue these Demon Creatures.
Otherwise, although Ye Chen could also kill many of the Demon Creatures, exhausting his treasures in the process would likely prevent him from reaching the true inner sanctum.
Upon arriving at the inner sanctum, Ye Chen immediately saw that this so-called inner sanctum was more like a dedicated secret chamber for storing treasures.
Ye Chen saw dozens of treasures laid out on the ground within the inner sanctum at a glance.
The "white jade token" that Fairy Luo Yun had previously mentioned, which she wanted, was particularly eye-catching.
It was placed right at the core among these dozens of treasures!
Although Ye Chen didn't know what Fairy Luo Yun needed the jade token for, judging by its placement, it seemed to be an absolutely precious item among all these treasures.
However, Ye Chen did not pay too much attention to this treasure.
Firstly, he was still concerned about the strange thing detected by Xiaojiu inside the central Ice Coffin, something so astonishing that it might greatly aid Ye Chen's cultivation.
Secondly, the last batch of Demon Creature Skeleton Guards guarding this inner sanctum had already approached Ye Chen and Fairy Luo Yun!
And this group of Demon Creature Skeletons was the very last batch of Immortal Divine Venerable level guards that Fairy Luo Yun did not get past the last time!
Just by sensing roughly, Ye Chen could feel that among the last eighteen Demon Creature Skeletons, ten were of the Lower Immortal Divine Venerable level, five were of the Mid-level Immortal Divine Venerable, and three even reached the rank of Upper Immortal Divine Venerable!
