Chapter 4915

The divine patterns here were complete and had not been damaged at all. It was obvious that no one had come in after so many years.

The spiritual energy here was rich, and hundreds of flowers were in full bloom. The short trees meandered, and their roots were as strong as dragons. The environment was quiet and beautiful.

Zi Chen saw people here.

Dead people!

Many dead people!

They were all women, wearing pure white clothes that were untainted by even a speck of dust. Every single one of their appearances were beautiful and unmatched, standing in different places.

Some of them had peaceful smiles on their faces, while others were gathered together and seemed to be conversing.

It looked like a frozen picture, and Zi Chen was like a stranger who had barged into the picture.

They were all dead. Before they died, there should be no warning, and they still maintained their original expressions.

Zi Chen could not imagine what kind of power would be able to kill them if the divine inscriptions were not activated.

Moreover, they did not notice. Their expressions were calm and normal. It was obvious that they had all died suddenly.

Zi Chen looked at a beauty up close. Under her long eyelashes, a pair of bright black eyes seemed to contain spirit. It was as if she was sleeping and could wake up at any time.

In his perception, she had long stopped breathing and heartbeat. She was like a real statue.

He gently reached out and touched her gauze. Just as he touched her, it was as if he had encountered an illusion.

The woman's gauze scattered like ashes. Her face also began to disintegrate, and her delicate body disappeared.

A gust of wind suddenly blew. As the wind blew, all the beautiful women with different expressions disappeared.

The flowers and plants were still there, and they bloomed even more brightly. However, the people who had been standing here before were all gone.

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat.

These people had been dead for countless years. This place was like a sealed place. With his appearance, the seal was triggered, and the dead people were completely turned into ashes.

The flowers and plants were still there. They swayed slowly as the breeze blew. They absorbed the spiritual light and grew.

Zi Chen looked at the flowers and plants. Countless years had passed. Why had these flowers and plants not become spiritual herbs?

Even if they were to be counted by age, they should have become divine plants long ago.

Unfortunately, they were not. They were no different from ordinary flowers and plants. They were not helpful for cultivation.

Looking ahead, Zi Chen saw a small path paved with jade stones. Following the path, there was a lake a hundred zhang away. The lake water was sparkling with a green light, filled with dense spiritual energy.

The surface of the lake was very calm, without a single ripple. Zi Chen looked towards the center of the lake and vaguely saw a shadow gliding across the bottom of the lake.

Is there life in the lake?

Zi Chen's expression changed. How powerful was a creature that had existed for countless years?

His soul remembrance spread out, but he didn't find anything. It seemed to be a flash of a reflection.

The lake water was clear and radiated light. It was rich in spiritual energy and looked like real spiritual water.

Zi Chen was about to walk along the path when suddenly, a light flashed from the bottom of the lake. It was as if a pair of eyes from the bottom of the lake had opened and looked at him.

Zi Chen's hair instantly stood on end. His body retreated several feet in the air, and the Thunder Escape Technique was displayed to the extreme.

First, there were the lifelike corpses, then there were the strange flowers and plants that couldn't be transformed, and there was also the abnormality at the bottom of the lake. Everything here was strange.

Zi Chen used the Divine Rune and looked around, but he didn't find anything strange.

Just as he was about to take a detour, the lake water suddenly surged. It was as if there was a powerful force gushing out from the lake. In an instant, the lake water soared into the sky, forming a huge wave that drowned Zi Chen.

Zi Chen held the black stone tightly and quickly retreated, wanting to avoid it.

"Come here …"

An illusory voice suddenly rang out. It was like the ethereal voice of a ghost. This voice came from the bottom of the lake.

"Could it be that those people died silently because there was some kind of ominous thing at the bottom of the lake?"

Zi Chen retreated even faster. Only this could explain why so many people died in an instant when the Divine Rune wasn't activated.

It was the thing in the lake that killed them!

Now, Zi Chen planned to retreat. This place was too strange. He came here to take refuge and look for opportunities. He couldn't lose his life here.

If worse came to worst, he could lure Jeffree in and let him clear the way here.

Zi Chen didn't know that Jeffree had obtained Picor's Golden Bell. Otherwise, he wouldn't have retreated. With the Golden Bell, Jeffree countered him in all aspects.

If the two sides met again, Zi Chen would die!

The black stone in Zi Chen's hand didn't react. Instead, the Divine Rune that he had refined before started to tremble.

A strange force spread out, affecting the speed of Zi Chen's retreat.

The next moment, the huge wave spread forward, enveloping Zi Chen.

When he came to his senses, Zi Chen was already in the middle of the lake. His body was sinking uncontrollably.

It was as if someone was dragging his feet and dragging him to the bottom of the lake.

Zi Chen's face was full of fear. He kept struggling, but there was no reaction.

His strength seemed to have been forcefully sealed.

The Divine Rune floated above his head, creating ripples that isolated the lake water. Since the black stone didn't react, the Divine Rune's abnormality was his greatest comfort.

He tried to swim up, but there was no reaction. Instead, he sank even faster.

"Come here …"

The voice sounded again, right below him.

Zi Chen nodded and looked down. It was pitch-black and he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, he saw a cold light in front of him. A person was rapidly approaching him.

Zi Chen's expression changed. He mobilized his body's strength.

Buzz!

The Divine Rune surged, creating ripples in the lake. The approaching figure brushed past him.

Their eyes met. Zi Chen saw a beautiful face.

This was also a corpse, similar to the one he saw before. It was just that the surging lake water had brought her here. She wasn't a living being.

But it was still scary enough.

Then, a few more corpses passed by him, drifting away with the ripples.

Zi Chen gradually calmed down. The summoning voice also disappeared. It was like a hallucination.

The Divine Rune was still glowing, separating the lake water. His body was still falling.

After falling for a long time, Zi Chen suddenly saw light.

He saw a glowing Divine Rune Array at the center of the lake. It seemed to be suppressing something.

And in the center of the Divine Rune Array, there was an even smaller array. At this moment, there was a pair of bright objects on the array.

It was a pair of eyes!

The bright eyes didn't have any emotions. They even had an aura of seeing through the mortal world.

The moment Zi Chen saw those eyes, he felt that all the secrets in his heart had been seen through.

What kind of eyes were those?

Celestial Eyes?

A sense of extreme danger welled up in his heart. Zi Chen wanted to avoid it, but his body was out of his control.
