Chapter 3726: Chapter 3712: The Final Attempt

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen noticed Wu Duan Cang seemed to have something difficult to say, which made him curious. Wasn’t the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart always kept at the Six Paths Sect? Could something have happened?

"What do you mean?"

Ye Chen looked at Wu Duan Cang.

"The other half of the Sacred Origin Heart is actually beneath our feet."

Wu Duan Cang shook his head with a bitter smile and explained to Ye Chen.

"Beneath our feet?"

Ye Chen raised his brow. They were currently in the great hall of Six Paths Peak, and beneath them was indeed the Six Paths Peak.

"Yes, after obtaining the Sacred Origin Heart, the grandmaster divided it into two. One half was given to the Zhenyuan Palace, and the other was sealed in the underground altar of Six Paths Peak."

"To prevent outsiders from obtaining it, the altar was permanently sealed by us. Only the grandmaster can open it."

Wu Duan Cang looked at Ye Chen helplessly and said, "Actually, all these years, we’ve been hoping the grandmaster would return to open the altar, but there’s been no news of him."

Upon learning this, Ye Chen was also somewhat astonished. He initially thought that retrieving the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart from Zhenyuan Palace would be no issue, but he hadn’t expected the real difficulty to lie with the Sacred Origin Heart held by the Six Paths Sect.

"How do we access this altar? Take me to have a look."

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered, and he spoke up.

Even though Wu Duan Cang clearly stated that no one except Xiao Shuihan could open the altar, the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart was right before him—this pertained to Ye Luo’s memory and the powerhouses within the Chong Guang Divine Radiance Palace. Ye Chen couldn’t simply give up.

"You won’t be able to open it."

Wu Duan Cang looked at Ye Chen, wanting to persuade him, but seeing Ye Chen’s determined gaze, he sighed.

"In that case, I’ll take you to have a look."

With that, Wu Duan Cang got up and went to the center of the great hall, producing a token in his palm, representing the sect master’s identity of the Six Paths Sect.

"The only way to open the altar is with this Sect Master Token."

Wu Duan Cang told Ye Chen, then stomped a few times on the glazed stone slab in the center of the great hall.

"Boom!"

The sound of rumbling echoed, and the floor of the great hall began to rise piece by piece until it transformed into the shape of Eight Trigrams. At the center of this Eight Trigrams was an indentation, perfectly fitting the Sect Master Token.

Without hesitation, Wu Duan Cang placed the Sect Master Token into the indentation, and the next moment, magnificent light radiated from the Eight Trigrams.

In the void, mystical runes rose up, floating around Ye Chen and Wu Duan Cang, forming an array formation that spun slowly.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

The Eight Trigrams emitted strange sounds, with streaming lights of various colors flickering in the void. Wu Duan Cang looked at Ye Chen, "Stand on top of this Eight Trigrams."

Understanding, Ye Chen stood alongside Wu Duan Cang at the center of the Eight Trigrams. They saw the surrounding runes erupting in dazzling, scorching white light, and then their vision darkened.

After a brief feeling of soul inversion, Ye Chen realized he and Wu Duan Cang had arrived in a dark space, faintly perceiving it to be a hall.

"This is the altar beneath Six Paths Peak."

Wu Duan Cang’s voice emerged as he activated the mechanisms in this space, causing emerald-green flames to appear out of thin air, dispelling the darkness.

Indeed, Ye Chen and Wu Duan Cang stood in a great hall, with rock forming the ceiling and walls, and a passageway directly in front of them.

"Follow this passageway, and you’ll reach the stone door of the altar. Opening it reveals the other half of the Sacred Origin Heart. However, the stone door has been sealed—it simply won’t open."

Wu Duan Cang’s voice sounded.

Hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, vaguely seeing the stone door at the end of the passage seemingly adorned with blood-red patterns.

"I have to try."

Ye Chen shook his head and proceeded into the passage, with Wu Duan Cang following closely behind.

At the end of the passage was indeed a stone door, which bore several bright red patterns. These patterns were flowing blood, and it was fresh blood.

This blood contained immense power, emanating an overwhelming pressure, as if it belonged to a supreme being, still vibrant and full of vast vitality after countless years.

The blood carved out a peculiar symbol on the stone door, occasionally flashing with light as the blood flowed, extending to cover the entire stone door.

This was the Restriction Array that defended the stone door. Just looking at it elicited a sense of suppression, indicating how terrifying this array was.

Ye Chen looked at the stone door, reluctantly gritting his teeth. His power wasn’t enough to shake the door.

But having come this far, he couldn’t just give up without trying. The next moment, he made a decisive move.

"Destruction Divine Dao, break for me!"

The Slaughter Sword unleashed sudden destruction, its immense force aimed at the stone door.

Yet the next second, Ye Chen sensed a formidable prohibitory force arising, instantly dissolving the destructive power, and almost suppressing the Slaughter Sword. Simultaneously, the circulation speed of spiritual energy within Ye Chen slowed drastically.

"This is not good."

Ye Chen felt a twinge of surprise. This restriction array was attempting to use the destructive power against him and the Slaughter Sword to suppress them directly—its dominance was overwhelming.

Ye Chen’s power erupted, shattering the encroaching restraining force, but the impact blasted him backwards several steps before he could stabilize.

"Phew..."

Ye Chen exhaled a breath, his face a bit pale. Just that single exchange left him injured, showcasing how overwhelmingly powerful the restriction array was, driving one to despair.

"Is waiting for Xiao the only option to open this seal?"

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered with hesitation, then his aura surged suddenly. With Xiao Shuihan’s fate uncertain, relying on him wasn’t an option.

"I refuse to believe I can’t open you!"

Ye Chen let out a roar, launching the Hongmeng Sound Symbol into the air. The Golden Light of Silence blasted down, swept by tremendous torrents of spiritual energy.

At the same time, Ye Chen drew the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword and mustered all his strength. Above him, two blood moons suddenly ascended.

Seeing the blood moons, Wu Duan Cang’s face changed slightly. The blood moons gave him a feeling of utmost danger, even fear.

This apprehension stemmed from the blood moons themselves. Ye Chen’s rank was still too low, and even grasping the fearsome Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash couldn’t unleash power that frightened Wu Duan Cang.

"Forget it, even if you use this move, you can’t open this restriction."

Wu Duan Cang couldn’t help but speak. He could see that employing the Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash was difficult for Ye Chen, likely his trump card. Yet, it still couldn’t undermine the altar’s Restriction Array, as in the past, the combined effort of several grand elders from their sect couldn’t open the stone door.

Now, as Ye Chen gazed at the austere light emitted from the blood moons floating above, his eyes flashed with resolve. At this moment, he had to give it a shot, no matter what!
