Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Ye Chen had no time to warn others as innumerable "God-Devouring Caterpillars" formed a demonic wind that had already reached Cai Meng'er and the other two surviving Immortal Divine Venerables, relentlessly attacking them.

In this life-and-death moment, they could only rely on their own ability to withstand the instantaneous attack of the "God-Devouring Caterpillars," whose numbers had increased dozens of times!

Boom!

In an instant, following the previous Nine Flames Clan Immortal Divine Venerable who screamed and collapsed, another Immortal Divine Venerable was bitten to death by the "God-Devouring Caterpillars" on the spot!

Previously, these individuals could withstand the "God-Devouring Caterpillars" for several breaths, but with their numbers now skyrocketing, two people were instantly killed.

Only Ye Chen, Cai Meng'er, and the Nine Flames Clan Upper Immortal Divine Venerable named "Chi Yan" were left in the field.

After killing two Upper Immortal Divine Venerables, a huge swarm of "God-Devouring Caterpillars" emerged from their corpses.

Having devoured the Divine Body Power and Divine Soul of the deceased, the "God-Devouring Caterpillars" finally emitted that cold Divine Light so familiar to Ye Chen and the others.

It truly was the "God-Devouring Caterpillars."

These demonic winds were indeed composed of "God-Devouring Caterpillars"!

The glowing "God-Devouring Caterpillars" that emerged from the two deceased joined the insidious wind of God-Devouring Caterpillars, more violently biting towards Ye Chen, Cai Meng'er, and Chi Yan.

Cai Meng'er's pretty face was already full of horror.

She hadn't expected to be attacked by the "God-Devouring Caterpillars" so soon after just escaping a previous assault.

Now, two more people had died.

The only slight relief Cai Meng'er felt was that the "Star Blue Divine Garment" Ye Chen had given her still managed to withstand the attack of the "God-Devouring Caterpillars," whose numbers had grown tens of times.

Cai Meng'er quickly glanced at Ye Chen and then at Chi Yan beside her, who was still alive.

At this moment, both Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan heard Ye Chen's voice: "Quickly rush into the crumbling temple; these 'God-Devouring Caterpillars' dare not enter inside!"

Simultaneously, they finally felt Ye Chen's rescuing Divine Power surging towards them.

In this moment of life and death, Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan dared not hesitate. Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, they rushed desperately towards the crumbling temple.

As they charged forward, they felt the terrifying demonic winds surrounding them being blocked by Ye Chen's power.

Two breaths later, the two of them rushed directly into the crumbling temple.

In the next moment, Ye Chen also dashed inside.

Then, the three of them saw the countless "God-Devouring Caterpillars" forming a demonic wind continuously swirling outside the crumbling temple. However, as if fearing something, they did not dare to touch the temple.

After hovering for dozens of breaths, the demonic wind composed of "God-Devouring Caterpillars" seemed to finally abandon the chase of Ye Chen and the others, abruptly dissipating outside the temple.

It was only then that Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ye Chen."

"Ye Chen Daoist!"

Both looked towards Ye Chen.

Their hands and feet were still trembling with fear.

They hadn't expected Ye Chen's earlier warning to be true, that the fourth domain indeed hid the unseen "God-Devouring Caterpillars," and in such a multitude.

Fortunately, with Ye Chen's help, they managed to dash into the crumbling temple; otherwise, they, too, might have perished under the claws of the "God-Devouring Caterpillars."

Even though they survived by a stroke of luck, two companions had perished.

If those two had known this would be the outcome, they might never have dared to proceed further, preferring to be transported to a safe zone with nothing to show.

Regrettably, there's no remedy for regret in the world.

Even if their combat power reached the Upper Immortal Divine Venerable level, once fallen, they would truly cease to exist.

While Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan were still in shock, Ye Chen looked grimly around the dilapidated temple.

With two more dead, Ye Chen also felt unsettled inside.

But he had advised before; others were unwilling to leave, which couldn't be helped, and now they must accept this outcome.

The most crucial thing now was what lay ahead.

"This dilapidated temple is the largest hall in this area."

"Moreover, I noticed earlier that those 'God-Devouring Caterpillars' forming the demonic winds didn't dare to touch the walls of the temple — there's something strange about this temple!"

"Otherwise, with the temple being so ruined and having so many openings, those 'God-Devouring Caterpillars' could easily have flown inside."

While observing, Ye Chen's Divine Sense also spread out in all directions within the temple.

A few breaths later, Ye Chen's expression changed, and he called out to Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan, "Come quickly!"

Then, Ye Chen led the way towards the depths of the temple.

When Ye Chen called, Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan snapped to their senses. Seeing Ye Chen moving, they quickly followed him into the depths of the temple.

After walking about a few dozen feet deep and passing through several corridors of the great hall, the three of Ye Chen entered the innermost chamber of the dilapidated hall.

The chamber door is directly open.

Upon entering the chamber, the hearts of Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan suddenly clenched.

They saw that the chamber contained dozens of Divine Lights, protecting dozens of Divine Objects, displayed within!

"Divine Objects!"

"These are the hidden Divine Objects of the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds'!"

Chi Yan couldn't help but exclaim!

Chi Yan immediately noticed that among the dozens of Divine Objects wrapped in Divine Light, there were Heavenly Divine Fires!

Having wandered through various realms, this was his first discovery of Divine Objects.

Meanwhile, Cai Meng'er looked at Ye Chen with shock.

Although she had previously used Divine Sense to scan the surroundings and found no chamber, she couldn't imagine Ye Chen had directly discovered such a precious place from the outside!

At this moment, amidst Chi Yan's joyous cry and Cai Meng'er's startled gaze, Ye Chen was heading toward a corner of the chamber.

On the wall in that corner were engraved countless lines of small text.

Ye Chen looked at these small texts, and Cai Meng'er followed, standing beside Ye Chen, also looking at this text.

Eventually, Chi Yan also came over.

After the three of them read the small texts, they finally realized.

The lines of small text clearly corresponded to the dozens of Divine Objects in the chamber, serving as activation skills for these Divine Objects.

"A total of twenty-eight Divine Objects, with twenty-eight activation skills. According to the text on the wall, each person can only pick one Divine Object from here." Chi Yan turned back to look at those Divine Objects.

At this moment, Cai Meng'er was eyeing the last line of the small text.

"The twenty-eight lines above are activation skills for the Divine Objects, yet there is one last line, which is written as some 'mysterious mantra'; it doesn't reveal what it's used for."

There are a total of twenty-nine lines of text on the wall.

The final line, however, had no indicated use and appeared extremely chaotic, seeming like an "anonymous mantra", without any apparent meaning.

Ye Chen also focused his gaze on the last line of text.

"This 'anonymous mantra' wouldn't appear here meaninglessly; it must have some hidden meaning."

Ye Chen quietly memorized this last line of mantra.

Cai Meng'er glanced at Chi Yan, who was fixated on the Divine Objects in the chamber, then looked to Ye Chen and spoke, "Ye Chen, everyone can choose one Divine Object here. We've survived and reached here, all thanks to you. You should be the one to pick first from these Divine Objects."

Cai Meng'er's words snapped Chi Yan out of his daze, and he quickly said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, indeed you should pick the Divine Object first!"

Ye Chen chuckled, "There are twenty-eight Divine Objects here, which seem to be of similar value. There's no need for excessive formality; choose whatever you want freely."

Ye Chen had already surveyed these Divine Objects, and they were all typical Ultimate Heavenly Artifacts; even the two clusters of Heavenly Grade Divine Fire didn't seem more precious than his "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

These Divine Objects hadn't surprised Ye Chen significantly.

"This is only the fourth realm, the first appearance of Divine Objects, probably not very precious. There should be more valuable Divine Objects later." Ye Chen thought.

With ample treasures on him, Ye Chen remained calm, while Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan stared at the Divine Objects in the chamber with shining eyes.

Cai Meng'er, although the daughter of Cai Meng Sovereign, a Nine-Star Sovereign, found it hard to acquire an Ultimate Heavenly Artifact. She was naturally excited to obtain one now.

Meanwhile, Chi Yan, a talented Upper Immortal Divine Venerable from a branch of the Nine Flames Clan, lacked a handy Divine Object, and was even more thrilled with the opportunity for one.

After consulting Ye Chen several times, both Cai Meng'er and Chi Yan finally began their selection.

Cai Meng'er chose a defensive Divine Object resembling a "bracelet."

Chi Yan chose a defensive "Divine Robe."

Evidently, the earlier assault by the "God-Devouring Caterpillar" had frightened them considerably, leading them to prioritize selecting defensive Divine Objects.

After making a full circuit, Ye Chen's gaze finally settled on a cluster of cold snow flame known as the "Cold Snow Flame," which was a Heavenly Grade Divine Fire.

Though this Divine Fire wasn't as good as the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," he was willing to acquire another piece of Divine Fire. Moreover, the wall still held the activation skill to claim it.

Once all three had chosen a Divine Object, they left the chamber and proceeded to other places.

After thoroughly searching other areas without new discoveries, the three returned to the original great hall.

This time, without needing Ye Chen's reminder, Chi Yan directly said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I dare not go to other places anymore. We've managed to get a Divine Object without losing our lives, and it's thanks to you!"

"I'm preparing to directly use the 'Ancient Heavenly Cauldron Order' to teleport to a safe area; otherwise, greed might lead me to the same fate as those fallen friends!"

After saying this, Chi Yan bowed deeply to Ye Chen and, regardless of Cai Meng'er and Ye Chen's decisions, directly activated the "Ancient Heavenly Cauldron Order," being enveloped by Divine Light and transported to the safe zone of the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds."

Inside the great hall, only Ye Chen and Cai Meng'er remained.
