Primordial Star Scripture

"Young lad, are you ready to undertake the first challenge of the 'Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death' — the 'Curser's Selection Test'?"

After Long Xiao finished speaking, he fixed his exceptionally bright gaze on Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen!"

Before Ye Chen could speak, Fairy Luo Yun looked towards him, full of concern.

The way General Azure Dragon described it was terrifying; if one couldn't survive the test within the third Ice Coffin to the right, they would die inside. Despite her immense faith in Ye Chen's strength, Fairy Luo Yun was extremely worried for his safety.

Especially since she no longer qualified for the selection as a Curser, unable to render the slightest aid to Ye Chen!

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head to reassure Fairy Luo Yun: "Senior, as this Venerable before us mentioned, your memory will be erased shortly and you will be sent away. You should head to the Land of Divine Milk first and find the others from the Sky Fox Sect."

"But what about you?" Fairy Luo Yun frowned with concern, "Also, I have the Ultimate Heavenly Artifact Treasured Sword you gave me. I should return it to you now."

Ye Chen shook his head and stopped Fairy Luo Yun: "Senior, you should keep the Ultimate Heavenly Artifact Treasured Sword for now. Since you cannot obtain the Divine Milk here, you may need it when trying to obtain Divine Milk in the Land of Divine Milk later on."

"Should I pass this test and have the chance, I will come to find you in the Land of Divine Milk."

"There's no need to worry about my safety, Senior!"

A flicker of determination shone in Ye Chen's eyes: "It's either a blessing or a curse; if it's a curse, there's no avoiding it. Since I cannot evade the 'Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death', I will do my utmost to meet the challenge!"

Ye Chen's Divine Sense shifted towards the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

He wasn't without trump cards to play.

He used one Xuan Divine Cone in the Three Evils Sea, and still held two more, which should offer some assistance.

He also concealed two pieces of Yin Spirit Ganoderma on his person, which were rumored to fend off perils from the first Demon Tomb; perhaps they would also be beneficial to him.

Moreover, Ye Chen did not believe that the Divine Master selecting the Cursers would set challenges that were utterly impassable.

After all, the Divine Master was looking for someone to fulfill his wishes!

As long as it's not absolutely impossible, Ye Chen would spare no effort to seize even the slightest chance!

Had there been a choice, Ye Chen might consider opting out.

But when there's no choice and he must face what comes, then Ye Chen would only strive with all his might!

The expression on Ye Chen's face caught the eye of Xiaojiu inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Although Xiaojiu was deeply worried about Ye Chen's safety, as a partner who had braved numerous dangers with him, Xiaojiu had absolute trust in Ye Chen!

"Ye Chen, perhaps this is a blessing in disguise," Xiaojiu telepathically communicated to Ye Chen. "Let's not talk about the benefits that lie ahead; just by getting through the first challenge of the 'Curser's Test' in the 'Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death', you'll obtain all the Divine Milk inside this Ice Coffin."

"There are thousands of drops of this 'Divine Milk' here! With just one drop, you can surmount the bottleneck of the Nine Tribulations True God and break through to the God King Realm!"

"You've been looking forward to this for so long; finally, you can become a Divine King, and you'll have plenty of Divine Milk left. Just for this, you must go all out to pass the 'Curser's Test'!"

Upon hearing Xiaojiu's words, a glint sparked in Ye Chen's eyes.

Indeed.

The God King Realm.

Wasn't this the purpose of leaving the Supreme Divine Institute, to strive for the God King Realm?

Just one step away.

With the Divine Milk, stepping into the God King Realm was a certainty!

"With no retreat available, there is no need to retreat!"

"For the God King Realm, I'll give it my all!"

Ye Chen clenched his fists.

Seeing Ye Chen's resolve, the presence of the Seven-Star Sovereign, General Azure Dragon "Long Xiao", smiled and nodded: "Young lad, by your demeanor, you seem ready."

"Let's first send this Heavenly Divine Venerable out of this Ice Coffin, and then I'll place you into the third Ice Coffin on the right!"

...

A few breaths later.

Fairy Luo Yun found herself outside the Demon Tomb once more.

Her memories of the second Ice Coffin had been completely erased.

Seeing Ye Chen's disappearance beside her, Fairy Luo Yun was puzzled: "Hm? Wasn't I going to the second Ice Coffin with Ye Chen? How did I end up outside of the Demon Tomb?"

Fairy Luo Yun touched the white jade token she had acquired from the first Ice Coffin with great confusion.

She furrowed her brows, lost in thought.

As if sensing that her memories had been erased, or perceiving some fearsome matter, Fairy Luo Yun's expression changed in a flash.

"My memories seem to contain something untouchable, related to this Demon Tomb and Ye Chen!"

"An inexplicable feeling is urging me to leave the Demon Tomb at once."

"Ye Chen… I have a feeling that Ye Chen is still safe, but he might be entangled in things I cannot touch!"

"It seems I must part ways with Ye Chen for now!"

Fairy Luo Yun's gaze settled firmly on the Demon Tomb.

After a long while, she took a deep breath, then left the Demon Tomb and flew towards the core area of the first Demon Tomb, the Land of Divine Milk.

...

As Fairy Luo Yun departed the Demon Tomb, inside the tomb, Ye Chen had already flown out of the second Ice Coffin and into the third Ice Coffin on the right.

Previously, Fairy Luo Yun had mentioned that the third Ice Coffin was also inaccessible.

This Ice Coffin was tied to the "Curser's Test," so naturally, others couldn't enter at will.

But now, Ye Chen had entered the test; with Long Xiao's help, he smoothly entered the third Ice Coffin.

As he flew right beneath the third Ice Coffin, a sky filled with terrifying black insects swarmed towards Ye Chen, attacking ferociously.

These black terrifying insects were precisely the first of the five major dangers in the "Curser's Test" mentioned by Long Xiao when sending Ye Chen into the third Ice Coffin—the danger of the "Black Crow Heavenly Demon Worms"!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky teeming with these terrifying black insects formed a horrifying cloud of tens of thousands of insects.

Although each insect only possessed the combat power of the God King Level, the sheer number of tens of thousands was terrifying to the extreme.

Facing the onslaught of tens of thousands of "Black Crow Heavenly Demon Worms," Ye Chen, with an extremely solemn expression, released the "Crimson Fire" flying sword from the Sword Palace Acupoint between his eyebrows with a "swoosh."

Following that, the terrifying killing force of the "Nine Swords of Annihilation's" Fifth Sword swept towards the sky-full "Black Crow Heavenly Demon Worms," rending and killing.

...

At the beginning of Ye Chen's "Curser's Test," looking down from directly above the third Ice Coffin, one could see that the space below had turned pitch black.

Above the void of the third Ice Coffin, the figure of General Azure Dragon "Long Xiao" was suspended in mid-air.

His Divine Eyes gazed below.

"Over the years, countless people of destiny have entered our four deputy tombs. Some took some treasures and left, while others entered the selection of the 'Curser.'"

"The vast majority did not pass the selection; some lost their qualifications at the beginning and were directly thrown out of the Demon Tomb with their memories erased."

"Others fell during the selection, dying in the 'Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death,' with not even one person successfully passing the first two gates!"

Upon saying this, Long Xiao's gaze shifted toward Ye Chen, who was amidst endless dangers below the third Ice Coffin.

"This young man, his background is definitely extraordinary!"

"There is a breath within his Qi Sea that even I fear!"

"That kind of breath is clearly from the Cosmic Sea! My master once entered the Cosmic Sea, and I recognize this breath!"

"And that breath seems even stronger than my master's!"

"I really wonder what kind of thing he has on him!"

"Alas, I am but a remnant soul and absolutely unable to investigate. Of course, even if my true body were still around, I probably couldn't uncover it either!"

"However... This gives us some hope. Perhaps this young man could truly fulfill my master's wish and even successfully pass the 'Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death!'"

Thinking this, Long Xiao couldn't help but sigh deeply!

"For so many years, our remnant souls have remained for this very reason."

"I hope this matter can be completely resolved before our remnant souls completely dissipate!"

"Three days, this 'Curser's Test' will go through a full three days of terrifying dangers!"

"Although these dangers will change according to this young man's bone age, realm, and combat power, it is still extremely perilous!"

"Let's see whether this young man can still be alive after three days and come out from inside!"

After mumbling to himself, Long Xiao fell silent, his eyes continuously watching below as if observing something.

One day.

Two days.

Time passed bit by bit.

Looking at the space below the third Ice Coffin, it was still a swath of pitch black.

However, the sounds of fighting within never ceased!

And Long Xiao, who had been watching intently below, had his eyes shine brighter and brighter.

When the three days had completely passed, the elated Sovereign Long Xiao of the Seven Stars Sovereign Realm could not help but let out a loud howl.

In the midst of his howling, a figure flew directly out of the pitch-black space below the third Ice Coffin!

This figure, with somewhat tattered clothes and body covered in bloodstains, had piercingly bright eyes.

This figure was, of course, Ye Chen!

After three days passed, Ye Chen came out alive from the third Ice Coffin.

This clearly signified that Ye Chen had passed the first trial of the "Three Mysterious Gates of Life and Death," the crisis test of the "Curser's Test," and successfully obtained the qualifications of a "Curser!"

The reason why Long Xiao couldn't help but howl was precisely because of this.

No one had passed the "Curser's Test" in the deputy tomb he was in charge of for a very long time!

Now that Ye Chen had passed the "Curser's Test," he had finally become another "Curser," possessing the opportunity to fulfill his master's wish.

And by observing Ye Chen's testing process, Long Xiao had a premonition that perhaps this young man, who even he feared a bit, would be the first to help his master fulfill his wish!

In the midst of Long Xiao's racing Mind and Spirit, Ye Chen, who had emerged from the third Ice Coffin, directly came to his side.

Ye Chen said to Long Xiao: "Senior, I have completed the 'Curser's Test.' Is the Divine Milk in the second Ice Coffin you mentioned before now mine?"

Thinking of the three days of testing, Ye Chen still felt a lingering sense of dread inside.

Terrifying.

It was truly terrifying.

The first batch of those "Black Crow Heavenly Demon Worms" he encountered was nothing much, but in the end, he even faced dangers at the Divine Venerable level!

If it weren't for his possession of the Xuan Divine Cone and the cultivation of the Undying Divine Body, he would have likely died during the test.

However, despite the lingering dread, Ye Chen also felt a surge of excitement.

That is, he had finally passed the test and could obtain the Divine Milk.

He could finally start to officially strike towards the God King Realm!
