Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Following the cave entrance, Yi Chen continued to walk, the Extreme Origin flowing around his body illuminating the cave interior as if it were broad daylight. Emitting light and brightness for him was as simple as eating and drinking; for a moment, the scenery along the path was fully revealed, captured entirely by his sight.

A large group of giant mantises charged toward Yi Chen as if they had gone mad, surging forward and kicking up large chunks of rock from the ground.

At this moment, the density of the giant mantises was clearly greater and stronger than the wave they had encountered when they first entered.

"They're like moths to a flame, overestimating their own strength," Yi Chen stepped forward, and suddenly, fierce golden flames ignited around his body.

What is rolling out?

Yi Chen strode forward, completely disregarding the oncoming mantis beasts. Under the scorching golden flames, the fierce mantises were ignited one after another, falling before him like burning torches, without the need for him to lift a finger, the efficiency of the slaughter was astonishing.

Having walked like this for roughly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the cave became increasingly cold and gloomy, curving downwards and leading to another great hall appearing before Yi Chen.

Inside the hall stood eighteen golden Arhat statues, each in a different pose.

At the entrance, there were two skeletons that had long since weathered away.

Yi Chen carefully examined them and found that these two skeletons had not died from beasts gnawing at them, but had perished together in a mutual demise.

In the dangerous journey of exploring the Secret Realm, the danger does not only come from the surrounding environment, but sometimes, one's own kind can be an even more dangerous presence.

"How tragic! Their bones lie exposed in the wilderness."

With tears in his eyes, Yi Chen picked up the two storage rings from the ground, and immediately, two golden sparks fell from his fingertips.

Looking at the burnt-out pile of ash on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the dead rabbits and foxes; perhaps one day, he too would end up like these cultivators, dying in a foreign land.

But now, with the world undergoing strange changes, where could one find happiness and peace?

If he did not strive and fight bravely at this moment, how would he remain unmoved by the eight winds and sit in possession of the Royal City when facing the future's towering waves and terrifying storms?

Speaking of towering waves, the image of Yuan Jun flashed through Yi Chen's mind; in this regard, Yuan Jun possessed an exceptional talent that was breathtaking, even Ling Yue and Zhen Ruan had to step aside!

"What am I thinking about, damn," Yi Chen chastised himself.

Dispelling the unexpected thoughts of the peach blossom mask that popped into his mind, Yi Chen immediately stepped into the hall. Suddenly, he felt the world spinning around him as everything nearby started to enlarge rapidly.

The hall suddenly became immensely large, the space stretching out extravagantly to the size of a hundred acres.

The golden Arhat statues, which previously appeared somewhat small compared to Yi Chen, also grew colossal in an instant.

In the distance, a three-legged golden cauldron suddenly appeared, with a rapidly burning incense stick inserted into it.

"Not bad, Mount Meru within a mustard seed, the Buddhist sect is most adept at such methods."

"Does the rapidly burning incense stick mean that I must defeat these eighteen golden Arhats before the incense burns out to pass through here?"

"I want to see whether my True Yang Spirit is stronger or whether these golden-bodied Arhats are more superior."

Faced with this sudden change, Yi Chen was not flustered. With a soft chant in his heart and the slow melting of the bright crystal in his Niwan Palace, a twenty-meter tall gilded Daoist shadow suddenly appeared on the scene.

At this moment, the form of the Pure Yang Holy Seal was clearly more appropriate than the tyrannical body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the eighteen golden-bodied Arhats charged toward Yi Chen; he met their assault without fear, matching their strength with his own, and clashed with them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The violent power was wantonly unleashed in the space, with continuous collisions sounding off like explosions, drifting in all directions.

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, just as it was about to extinguish, Yi Chen barely managed to dismantle the last golden Arhat puppet into several sections, revealing the mechanical structure within its body.

"Is this the trial to reach the Hundred Treasures Pavilion? Just how powerful was the Reincarnation Temple in the past?"

What Yi Chen didn't know was that, even in the past, the Reincarnation Temple simply required its disciples to endure until the incense stick had burned out, not to dismantle the puppet into pieces…

At that moment, the surrounding environment began to crack and crumble like broken glass. When Yi Chen came to his senses, he found himself standing in a corner of the great hall, gasping for air as he stared at a large hole that had suddenly appeared in the center, with a streak of golden light shining through.

….

….

The huge round cavity was red and green, and the ground was paved with a single slab of azure stone.

An opening, much like the mouth of a volcano, faced the upper layer, where countless scorching breaths surged up to be absorbed by the formation runes above.

A temple bathed in golden light sat at the very center, with the three golden characters for Hundred Treasures Pavilion drawing the eye.

Yi Chen leaped into the sudden gap and entered this strange domain.

"Is this the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of the Heavenly Dragon Cavern?"

"The formation above has still been functioning after all these years; it must have been accumulating and absorbing this fiery breath to maintain such power," Yi Chen mused, glancing back at the volcanic cavern's opening, full of admiration for the means once employed by the Reincarnation Temple.

At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems that not all perished overnight after the Reincarnation Temple's drastic change back in the day - there must have been some survivors," he speculated.

"If the remaining people could stage such a grand scheme, I can't imagine the formidable force that managed to bring such a great temple to this state."

After carefully scanning the four directions and finding nothing unusual, Yi Chen cautiously walked toward the distant palace.

To his surprise, nothing out of the ordinary happened along the way.

Pushing open the heavy brass doors, Yi Chen was immediately staggered by the sight that met his eyes.

A dragon!

A real dragon that had been long dead!@@novelbin@@

A creature of divine spirit, at least at the level of severing the dao, with an extensive lifespan.

Yet there it lay dead, its essence and vital energy completely drained by an unknown force.

"Ruthless. A Heavenly Dragon died here... What on earth happened at the Reincarnation Temple?"

The hall was filled with many treasures, an array of Magic Artifacts, a feast for the eyes.

At the very head were two books shrouded in clear light, and upon closer inspection, Yi Chen saw they were two golden tomes.

One was titled "Great Sun Divine Flame Purifying Scripture," and the other was called "Dragon Divine Fire."

Beside the altar, lay several skeletons, all blackened as if struck by lightning.

Since he was in the treasure mountain, how could he leave empty-handed?

Yi Chen gritted his teeth, as the Extreme Origin within him surged wildly. His hand suddenly reached into the clear light that enveloped the golden tomes. In a flash, peculiar golden divine lightning bolts emitted from the hall's dome, striking down at him.

"Eh, the power is average," he remarked.

After shattering the clear light with great force, Yi Chen, enduring the golden divine lightning strikes, firmly grasped the two golden tomes in his hands.
