Chapter 2136: A Treasure Trove

Having sworn a heavenly oath and taken the contract, Long Chi finally showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.

"Hey, you're still thinking about getting out, aren't you? Sorry to tell you, this entrance is one-way—only in, no out! And once you go in, you'll be teleported to a random location. If there are many powerful demons there, congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!" Long Yu said smugly.

"Oh? So you're saying the Dragon Eye Cave has no exit?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

If there were no exit, that would indeed be troublesome.

If it were a sealed world, no matter how strong he became, he couldn't escape from inside.

"As for an exit, it's not that there isn't one. I've heard there are some spatial rifts in the Dragon Eye Cave that allow travel between the spatial turbulence and the cave. But where these rifts are, no one knows. So... entering the Dragon Eye Cave is like a one-way trip with no return!" Long Zhi said solemnly.

"Kid, it's not too late to regret! But those human lives won't be spared, hahaha..." Long Chi laughed wantonly.

Ye Yuan ignored him, leaped up, and his figure vanished into the cave entrance.

Long Chi had wanted to see Ye Yuan panic, but Ye Yuan was so decisive and jumped straight in, leaving him feeling displeased.

"Hmph! Not being able to kill you with my own hands is letting you off easy!" With that, Long Chi moved and disappeared from the hall.

Long Zhi also sighed softly and turned to leave.

However, shortly after they left, a figure sneaked into the hall.

Swoosh!

A flash of green light streaked by, and the figure darted straight into the Dragon Eye Cave, leaving the guards no time to react.

The two Heavenly Sovereign guards saw this and their expressions changed drastically.

"Was that... Long Xiaochun just now?"

"Damn! That jinx actually entered the Dragon Eye Cave—this is a huge mess! You stay here, I'll report to the Dragon Lord immediately."

Panicked, the two hurriedly left the hall.

...

Ye Yuan felt a dizzying spin, and after who knows how long, he finally landed on solid ground.

Before him was a strange world, with a blood-red sky as if flames were burning above, dim and gloomy.

Endless demonic energy surged toward him, penetrating to the bone.

"Such fierce demonic energy, many times stronger than the demon race's energy! But... such pure demonic energy is excellent cultivation material!"

A smile flickered across Ye Yuan's lips. The Chaos Heaven-Connecting True Scripture quietly activated, frantically absorbing the demonic energy.

If anyone saw this, their eyes would probably pop out.

This terrifying demonic energy, once it entered the body, whether for demons or humans, would be unbearable, quickly eroding them into mindless husks.

Ordinary people here would have to circulate their divine power to keep the demonic energy at bay.

But Ye Yuan? He was directly absorbing it!

As soon as the demonic energy entered his body, it was refined by the Chaos Heaven-Connecting True Scripture, turning into a mass of chaotic divine power that merged into his origin core.

Ye Yuan's origin core grew smaller, but the chaotic divine power became purer.

Everything begins in chaos, everything returns to chaos.

For Ye Yuan, there was no distinction between divine power, demonic power, or demonic divine power.

As long as it was a form of energy, it could be refined by the Chaos Heaven-Connecting True Scripture and eventually become chaotic divine power.

If Ye Yuan wished, he could also use chaotic divine power to simulate any form of energy.

"Heh, this demonic energy here is really nourishing. Cultivating here for a day is almost like ten days outside!" Ye Yuan marveled.

Swoosh!

A dark, shapeless thing silently approached behind Ye Yuan.

Suddenly, the dark thing opened a huge mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and lunged at Ye Yuan's neck.

Pfft!

A flash of cold light, and a sharp sword energy shot straight into the gaping mouth, piercing through the monster's head.

Ow...

The monster let out a series of strange cries, twitched on the ground a few times, and stopped moving.

Ye Yuan turned to look; the monster resembled a black dog, but with extremely long fur and no eyes at all.

If it didn't open its mouth, it looked like a black ball.

The monster had tried to ambush Ye Yuan, but he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and killed it instantly.

"Is this what they call a demon? It's really strong! I've never heard of such demons in the Tongtian Realm. What are these things?" Ye Yuan frowned.

The aura from this monster was comparable to a human True God Fifth Layer.

But that attack just now would have been too much for even three True God Fifth Layers.

"Abyssal demon beasts!" Wuchen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Abyssal demon beasts? You mean these things?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

Wuchen nodded and said, "Yes! With the Soul-Calming Pearl breaking through to Heavenly Emperor Treasure, my memories seem to be recovering somewhat. This Dragon Eye Cave feels very familiar to me, as if I've been here before."

Ye Yuan was startled and said, "You've been here? Could it be... that Immortal Lin Heavenly Sovereign came?"

Wuchen said, "Possibly! These abyssal demon beasts are extremely powerful; humans of the same level are no match for them. Some powerful ones can even fight above their level. Ye Yuan, you need to be careful."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mm, I'll be careful. Eh, what's this?"

Just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, he noticed a black crystal had fallen beside the abyssal demon beast's corpse.

"Such dense demonic energy! This must be the life essence of the abyssal demon beast! Tsk, the demonic energy stored here is even purer than in the air!"

Seeing the black crystal, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up.

Others would flee from this demonic energy like mice from a cat.

But Ye Yuan treated it as a treasure.

"Hahaha... This Dragon Eye Cave is really a great place! With these black crystals, I can break through to True God Eighth Layer in no time! That old dragon forced me into the Dragon Eye Cave, never dreaming that for me, it's a paradise!" Ye Yuan put away the black crystal and laughed.

The demonic energy in this one black crystal was almost equivalent to a sixth-grade divine pill!

What did Ye Yuan lack most in cultivation?

Pills!

Even though Ye Yuan was now wealthy, the amount of pills he needed for cultivation was enormous.

Sixth-grade spiritual herbs were extremely precious; even if Ye Yuan had money, he couldn't get that many herbs.

But with a steady supply of pills, Ye Yuan's cultivation would be lightning fast.

And here, with countless abyssal demon beasts, it was like having countless sixth-grade divine pills. To Ye Yuan, this place was a treasure trove!

Ye Yuan's eyes gleamed with light, and a crazy plan formed in his mind—hunt the abyssal demon beasts!
