"Boom——"

Ye Chen was dragged by Qianyue Bing into the cave, and as soon as they entered this mysterious space, a giant palm pressed down, attempting to capture and imprison them.

However, Ye Chen and Qianyue Bing, having anticipated this, exploded with speed before the giant palm could reach them, avoiding the attack.

"Everything in this cave belongs to me, and you shall all die for coveting it!" boomed the Corpse King's mighty psychic voice, striking at the strongest among them.

The cave was the breeding ground of the ten Corpse Kings, and naturally, the Corpse King was furious when Ye Chen and the others intruded.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The Corpse King's giant palm swept across, trying to kill the strongest.

However, those who had survived until now were the strongest of the strong, and even with the Corpse King's intent to hunt, he couldn't succeed immediately.

"Pitiful humans, only good at dodging, you truly infuriate me!"

"I have things to do now, so I'll let you go for the moment, but you will not escape!"

As the Corpse King roared, he withdrew his hand and left the strongest behind, striding deeper into the cave where something seemed to be attracting him.

With the Corpse King gone, the strongest felt a burden lifted from their shoulders.

However, the aura deep inside the cave attracted not only the Corpse King but also the strongest among them.

This cave was mysterious and endless, a world unto itself with a huge secret buried deep within, and those present had risked their lives to come here to explore!

However, moving deeper into the cave would mean clashing with the invincible Corpse King.

Thinking of the terrifying might of the Corpse King, the strongest among them felt somewhat dismayed.

"Ye Chen, there are peerless opportunities in the depths of the cave, but with the hundred-foot Corpse King there, how about we join forces?" Yalina approached Ye Chen and proposed an alliance.

"I already have an ally!" Ye Chen responded indifferently, then glanced at Qianyue Bing.

"Let the three of us form an alliance!" Yalina said.

Forming an alliance meant joining forces to endure the ordeal. With Ye Chen's strength second only to hers, it was natural for Yalina to seek an alliance. Qianyue Bing was also formidable, so Yalina was not opposed to including her.

"An alliance is possible, but how will we divide the treasures?" Ye Chen asked.

The hundred-foot Corpse King was of the Land God level in the Immortal Realm, and one with high combat abilities at that!

Though Ye Chen had many trump cards, he was still somewhat apprehensive at facing such a formidable being.

Yalina had approached him for an alliance at just the right moment.

However, once they formed an alliance, there would be issues regarding the division of benefits.

"As for the treasures, it all depends on luck!" Yalina said. "We are only allying to counteract external forces. Whoever obtains the treasures can claim them."

"Excellent!" Ye Chen's eyes brightened.

"Yalina, we just invited you to ally, and you didn't agree! Now, you are taking the initiative to form an alliance with Ye Chen, what does this mean?!" a strong contender asked, his face showing discomfort.

"I didn't ally with you because I feared you were too weak and would hold me back! I'm allying with Ye Chen because he is strong and can be of help to me!" Yalina said with a faint smile. "To put it bluntly, I disdain your weakness. Besides, you are not at all handsome, unlike Ye Chen who is adorably likable!"

"..."

Yalina's words, straightforward and cutting, left the strong contender with a stiff expression, looking as if he had swallowed something distasteful.

In fact, this strong contender knew his own strength was insufficient, which was why he had tried to form an alliance with Yalina.

Who knew Yalina would refuse to join him and spurn him as if it were the most natural thing, not giving him any face at all? This instantly struck a nerve.

"I know you four have formed an alliance, but the Corpse King is terrifyingly invincible; your strength is too weak. I advise you to leave and not be cursed with this blood disaster!" Yalina said sternly to the four strongest.

"We don't need you to worry about our affairs!" one of the strongest retorted, his face flushed with embarrassment.

These four were all revered as among the Nine Dragons, supreme beings who dominated their realms.

But even as strong as they were, they felt slighted by Yalina's disdain.

However, Yalina did have the right to look down on them since she was a member of the Ten Dragons Taboo, her strength surpassing everyone else's.

"Alright, let's get going," Qian Yue Bing suddenly said. "The Hundred-Zhang Corpse King seems to be searching for something. We were also drawn here by a certain aura. If the Corpse King obtains what attracted us here, that would be very bad!"

"Then let's hurry over!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Ye Chen, Yalina, and Qian Yue Bing, the strongest trio, set out, chasing behind the Hundred-Zhang Corpse King towards the depths of the cave.

"They left, what should we do?"

The remaining four strongest stayed back, looking towards the depths of the cave, indecisive.

Just as Yalina had said, facing the Hundred-Zhang Corpse King with their level of cultivation was bound to be extremely dangerous, risking lethal peril.

Yet, the chance for advancement was right before their eyes, making it difficult for them to simply turn away without any regrets.

"Let's risk it!" one of the strongest said through gritted teeth. "Opportunity is like fetching chestnuts from the fire, one cannot gain a miraculous fate without braving life and death trials!"

"Go, go, go, don't miss the chance!"

The four strongest glanced at each other and then moved swiftly towards the depths of the cave.

"Why do I feel that this Corpse King's arrival in the cave feels like coming home?" Ye Chen said suspiciously.

Deep inside the cave, a mysterious haze reigned, possibly concealing deadly traps. Yet, the Corpse King strode boldly forward, not afraid of the cave's mysteries at all. He seemed extremely familiar with it!

"His step is too cheery!" Ye Chen exclaimed wordlessly. "This Corpse King moves like a primary school student. Is he so happy because he is going to school?"

"Can you speak less? What if the Corpse King hears you and turns back to hit you!" Qian Yue Bing said with a cold expression.

"If you die, you die, but I'm a beauty; I can't die!" Yalina said.

Ye Chen showed an awkward smile; this was a playful exchange.

"Boom boom boom—"

Deep inside the cave, a sudden tremor occurred. The Corpse King found a mass of black mist, opened his huge mouth and inhaled, drawing endless dark vapors into his stomach.

"What, what is he doing?" Ye Chen was somewhat startled.

In the distance, the dark mist rolled, dimming the skies, sweeping across a small world, making it look like the end of days.

"This black mist is a type of evil power, the same as the evil aura on the Corpse King! The Corpse King crazily absorbing the black mist is to enhance his own source of power!" Yalina said solemnly, being from the realm of light, she was extremely sensitive to such dark, evil forces.

"I can't play this game anymore, Booo is too strong, I'm requesting to leave the team, I'm getting out!" Ye Chen suddenly said.

The Hundred-Zhang Corpse King, horrifically invincible, not even the Land Gods could stop him. If he continued to devour external forces to strengthen himself, to what extent would he become powerful?

Ye Chen, no matter how impressive, was just a peak Grandmaster; how could he confront such a super Boss!

So, Ye Chen wanted to leave the team; he wasn't playing anymore!
