Free Web NovelChapter 857: Chapter 856: Three-Eyed Profound Ape
After a slight dizziness, Ye Qingchen’s consciousness regained clarity.
He looked up.
He was in a strange cave, an unimaginably vast one, so large it seemed to stretch beyond the horizon. It even made Ye Qingchen feel that this place was larger than the Black Nether Profound Sea!
"Where is this?"
"I remember being swallowed into the mouth of a Three-Eyed Giant Ape earlier! Could this be its insides?"
Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.
He recalled clearly being swallowed by the giant ape.
Then.
He appeared here.
"That’s right, this is indeed inside me!"
A thunderous voice erupted.
Ye Qingchen abruptly raised his head, only to see a fierce wind rapidly gathering, forming into a massive face before him, and the face was unmistakably that of the giant ape!
The giant ape’s face alone was dozens of meters wide. Its fur was a deep blue-black, with ripples like water. And in the center of its forehead was an upright giant eye, appearing extremely extraordinary!
"Who are you?"
Ye Qingchen squinted, looking at the giant ape.
"Aren’t you afraid of me?"
The giant ape raised the corners of its mouth, its forehead eye revealing threads of surprise as it curiously sized up Ye Qingchen. After all, others who had come here before either turned their swords against it immediately.
Or were trembling with fear, faces full of dread.
But someone as calm as Ye Qingchen was exceptionally rare.
"Would being afraid of you help? With your strength, if you wanted to kill me, you’d have done it by now, no need for such methods!" Ye Qingchen said calmly, "I just don’t understand why you brought me here?"
When the Three-Eyed Giant Ape struck, it wasn’t that he didn’t resist.
But at that moment, all his power sank like a stone in the sea, vanishing without a trace. Clearly, the giant ape’s strength was far beyond his imagination!
"An interesting young man!"
The Three-Eyed Giant Ape seriously looked at Ye Qingchen, unable to hold back a hearty laugh:
"Since you’ve come, let me explain everything to you!"
"I am the Artifact Spirit of the Cyan Nether Hall, the Three-Eyed Profound Ape! My master was an unparalleled and peerless being. But due to an accident, he was ambushed by enemies and severely injured! The Cyan Nether Hall fell into the Kunlun Realm after that battle, eventually claimed by Taotian Palace!"
"Unfortunately, I lost all my power during that battle. I couldn’t contact my master, and with my current strength, I couldn’t find my master among the heavens, so I opened up this Black Nether Profound Sea, hoping to find someone fateful! To find my master for me!"
The Three-Eyed Profound Ape slowly explained the situation.
The information contained in its words was astounding.
"Is your master a Celestial Immortal by any chance?"
Ye Qingchen’s eyes revealed a glint of a different color.
To him, only a Celestial Immortal would possess such terrifying power, capable of owning such a vast magical palace!
"Celestial Immortal?" The Three-Eyed Profound Ape’s eyes showed a hint of disdain, "In front of my master, those people are like ants! If not for my search for my master, even Celestial Immortals wouldn’t qualify to enter here!"
"Celestial Immortal!"
Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but take a deep breath, considering even a Celestial Immortal couldn’t step into the Cyan Nether Hall, just how powerful could the master be?
"Young man, you’ve passed the initial test, and that’s why you can see me! I don’t know if you’d be willing to help me find my master!" The Three-Eyed Giant Ape lowered its massive face, quietly looking at Ye Qingchen, "Of course, if you are willing, I will impart the legacy left by my master in the Cyan Nether Hall to you!"
"If you are not willing, I will send you out of the Black Nether Profound Sea directly to the end of the trial! Of course, I will erase all the secrets of this hall from your mind!"
"If you are willing, you’ll have to face the trials I’ve set. If you fail, you will die here completely, with no bones left!"
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qingchen slightly frowned.
It seemed.
Finding the master of the Cyan Nether Hall to receive its legacy wasn’t going to be easy!
Seeing Ye Qingchen’s doubtful expression, the Three-Eyed Giant Ape explained: "My master’s realm and level aren’t as simple as you imagine! If you’re too weak and encounter my master’s old enemies, you might be killed at a glace!"
"Of course, I’m not only considering strength. Those with vile intentions can’t even enter this Black Nether Profound Sea! I absolutely cannot tolerate my master’s legacy falling into the hands of the wrong people!"
"Before you, Taotian Palace had thirteen candidates who entered here. But six of them died in the Black Nether Profound Sea, while the remaining seven barely reached here, and none passed the trial!"
"I wonder if you can pass!"
Ye Qingchen frowned.
On one side was the legacy left by the master of the Cyan Nether Hall, and on the other was the possibility of falling here!
"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something." The Three-Eyed Giant Ape said with a cryptic smile, "Before you came, the Black Nether Profound Sea had been sealed by Taotian Palace for two hundred seventy-six years!"
"But this time, because you took the trial, the Supreme Elder Kong Yuanhao from Piaomiao Peak secretly released the seal and tampered with your Bronze Token to bring you here!"
"Those people, unaware of my existence, intended to use the Black Nether Profound Sea to kill you! Moreover, Jian Chen and others with grudges against you are plotting, waiting to strike once you reach the end!"
As he spoke.
The Three-Eyed Giant Ape’s third eye blazed with light, revealing the image of Jian Chen.
In it, Jian Chen stood in a desert, holding a token, his eyes slightly narrowed:
"Ye Qingchen, you’ve gotten lucky!"
"I initially planned to eliminate you first! I didn’t expect you to escape this calamity!"
...
"Everyone has split up!"
On another grassland, a disciple from Void Peak gritted his teeth, "Ye Qingchen, you killed Ye Xuan, Zhou Longxing, Ning Yukong, causing our master to be suppressed beneath Void Peak, this won’t easily pass!"
And on Celestial Moon Peak.
...
Bang!
Hearing this, the hint of hesitation in Ye Qingchen’s eyes vanished completely.
"Ha, I never expected these Supreme Elders to be so relentless, always wanting to drive me to death!" Ye Qingchen sneered, a trace of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "With these people plotting in the shadows, I have no choice but to hurry up!"
Having encountered the Three-Eyed Profound Ape and learned the secrets of the Cyan Nether Hall, how could he just pretend nothing happened and willingly have his memory erased?
At this thought, Ye Qingchen raised his head, looked at the Three-Eyed Giant Ape, and said with firm determination:
"I agree to take the trial!"
"Good!"
The Three-Eyed Giant Ape’s central eye emitted infinite divine light, the light spinning in the void, forming into a vortex three meters in diameter. Runes around the vortex churned and fluctuated, appearing exceedingly mysterious.
Through the spinning vortex, Ye Qingchen could see, beyond it was still the endless Black Nether Profound Sea!
But.
This Black Nether Profound Sea was even larger, deeper, and more terrifying than what he had experienced before. It was like comparing the ocean to a small puddle!
"Enter here!"
"Your trial lies within!"
"The world beyond the vortex is different from the outside world in terms of time. A month inside equals only three days outside! If you can’t pass the trial within three months and gain my master’s recognition, you’ll remain inside forever! Never to come out again!"
"Young man, before you go in, I will ask you once more!"
"Are you sure you are ready? Once the trial starts, there will be no room for regret!"
Staring at the constantly spinning vortex.
Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, eyes resolute, and stepped inside.
Watching Ye Qingchen entering the vortex, his figure disappearing from this realm, the Three-Eyed Giant Ape’s eyes slightly narrowed, speaking deeply:
"Young man!"
"Don’t let me down!"
