CHAPTER 759: 185, ENTER YANFU

The Prison Heaven Array was silent, with only Lin Yue remaining.

"Just now, I was no match for him, but now two strikes have killed him..."

Lin Yue glanced at the Divine Artifact Battle Saber in his hand and couldn’t help feeling sentimental, "A good divine artifact really makes all the difference..."

He now understood why neither the Crown Prince nor the Second Prince could overcome the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.

They were ostensibly on the same level of strength, but with the Lifebound Sovereign Artifact in hand, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor stood apart.

Of course, Lin Yue not only had the advantage of the artifact over the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan but also had some foundational advantages, like his right arm, refined with proto-Taichu Divine Power into a Divine Body, which considerably strengthened his power.

"However, this resurrection feels somewhat different..."

Lin Yue contemplated as he looked at his right arm, then turned his gaze towards the center of the city that had been thoroughly obliterated.

There was a barrier constructed from a Semi-Divine Artifact.

Although the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan had perished, the Semi-Divine Artifact, possessing its own spirit, was still maintaining the barrier, concealing the entrance to the Yanfu World.

Lin Yue reached out casually, and the Divine Artifact Giant Hammer he had sent flying into the defenses of the Prison Heaven Array immediately flew towards him, spinning and shrinking until it was only the size of a palm before landing in his hand.

The exquisite Black Gold Hammer exuded an ancient and mystical aura.

"Acquiring a divine artifact is not bad."

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, without much joy, since he already had a stronger Lifebound Divine Artifact, so this one wasn’t of much use to him.

Once back in Great Yong, he could give it to someone else.

Now its role was to allow him to learn another Heavenly Reversal Path to enhance his foundation.

"A path related to time?"

After imprinting his Divine Thought, Lin Yue suddenly became interested and decided to learn it before entering the Yanfu World, to gain some additional capabilities, uncertain if there would be a chance to comprehend it later.

Also, while contemplating it, he could continue to refine Divine Power and strive to perfect his Divine Body.

At present, only his right arm was a Divine Body. This resurrection, with the Spiritual Body reassembling, gave him more insights into creating a Divine Body. It seemed worthwhile to continue the refinement.

Since this area isolated all signals and sensations, not even methods like the Soul Lamp could determine life or death.

Before entering, he wasn’t worried about the Demon Clan detecting any trouble here.

In short...

Before entering, he must be fully prepared to have a better chance of reconstructing his Divine Soul.

"First, let’s take a look at the entrance and be ready to enter at any moment."

To be cautious, Lin Yue didn’t rush to withdraw the Prison Heaven Array and instead approached the Semi-Divine Artifact Barrier at the center of the city.

Then, with a light flick of his finger—

The Semi-Divine Artifact Barrier, lacking its master’s support, immediately opened up a huge hole, revealing a gray hammer inside that closely resembled the Divine Artifact Black Gold Hammer.

From the memories of Xiahou Shou, this gray hammer was indeed a Semi-Divine Artifact forged by the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan in imitation of the Divine Artifact Black Gold Hammer, hence its similarity.

"Indeed, the core path isn’t much different."

Lin Yue sensed it and immediately confirmed this, then picked up the gray hammer to focus on comprehending the path within the artifact.

The barrier instantly dissipated completely, revealing a dark and deep underground staircase leading downward.

Through this passage, a faint mysterious aura slowly spread out, exuding an indescribable strange feeling.

Lin Yue did not hesitate and immediately entered the passage, following the long stairs down, and soon at the end of the stairway passage, he saw a huge Stone Gate.

On the Stone Gate was a hole with uneven edges that matched the size of the ruptured Stone Sword, known as the Yanfu Key. The deepest grooves of the hole seemed as if the front half of the broken Stone Sword was embedded inside the Stone Gate.

"Yanfu."

Lin Yue pulled out the Yanfu Key and said, "We’ve arrived."

Yanfu’s spirit materialized, looking at the stone gate with some surprise, murmuring, "Is this the entrance to the Yanfu World?"

Though she was the key to open it, it was her first time witnessing the gate.

This was the purpose of her existence.

Her birth was for such a day.

"But..."

Lin Yue suddenly said, "Since the Ancient Human Clan had moved to the Three Great Worlds, why would they go to the trouble of creating three keys for someone to open?"

"I don’t know about that," the spirit of Yanfu said. "Perhaps they were concerned about geniuses being overlooked in the Eternal Night, after all, those who could enter are Saint-level powerhouses who grasp parts of the Ultimate Path, rare even in the Ancient Times."

Lin Yue didn’t ponder further and sat down cross-legged in front of the Stone Gate.

"Aren’t you going in now?" Yanfu’s spirit asked puzzled.

"I’m not ready yet."

Lin Yue closed his eyes, idly fiddling with the small Black Gold Hammer in his hand, carefully contemplating the Time Path within.

The Time Path in this Black Gold Hammer was a branch of Time, not merely accelerating time but combining multiple time points through different accelerations, converging them together; it was as if the Black Gold Hammers scattered across different time points became superimposed due to time shifts, which is why the hammer felt so heavy.

It was his first encounter with a Path related to time, and the contemplation was challenging.

However, fortunately, with the foundation of the Ultimate Path and high comprehension ability, as long as he continued to contemplate, he would eventually succeed.

At the same time, his body’s proto-Taichu Divine Power began to slowly seep into the other parts of his body, gradually refining them into a powerful Divine Body.
