But not everything within the shattered space was destroyed; some parts were preserved, forgotten in the depths of the broken realm.

Xiao Mu's question left Huang Yuan without an answer. He pondered for only a few seconds before growing impatient, "Ancient events are not our concern, Old Yan. Let's split up and dig out these metals eroded by the Chaos Power from underground. Let's see if we can find any high-quality Chaos Materials."

"Alright, let's start digging separately."

Yan Qingxu nodded in agreement. He and Huang Yuan split up, one going left and the other right, digging up the half-buried metals materials from underground.

Most of the metal materials were tainted by too little Chaos Power. Although they had undergone Mutation, their quality was insufficient, and some were even inferior to higher-tier Mutated Materials found outside. Yan Qingxu and Huang Yuan discarded them after a mere glance.

Unconsciously, the two gradually ventured deeper into the depths of Chaos.

"The deeper we go, the better the quality of the materials seems to get."

Yan Qingxu suddenly lifted his head and transmitted his voice to Huang Yuan, who was far away.

As they stepped deeper into this dimly lit area, the Chaos Power in the space became increasingly dense. The metals half-buried in the ground were more and more affected, becoming exceedingly sturdy and peculiar.

Looking at this trend, perhaps it wouldn't be long before the two of them found materials that could truly be considered high-quality Mutated Materials.

"Let's go deeper."

Huang Yuan suggested.

The two of them moved deeper in unison with great understanding. However, they had not gone far when they stopped their footsteps in astonishment.

"What... what is this?"

Huang Yuan's expression fluctuated, staring ahead numbly, feeling an intense unease in his heart.

"Is this a tomb?"

Yan Qingxu's unease surpassed that of Huang Yuan. His gaze joined Huang Yuan's, both staring dumbfounded at a green hillock up ahead.

The hillock's appearance was indistinguishable from a tomb, but it was colossal, like a Huge Mountain. From a distance, the dome-shaped mound seemed like a small patch of sky fallen down, completely covering a part of Heaven and Earth, slicing off a separate piece of the firmament from this world.

Black light seeped out from the tomb, the overwhelming Death Qi spreading out. When it wafted over Yan Qingxu and Huang Yuan, they immediately felt a strong discomfort.

The complexions of Yan Qingxu and Huang Yuan both changed.

There might have been a deceased in the tomb, but this deceased was too powerful. If it were outside, just the Death Qi emanating from the tomb would be enough to turn millions of miles of land into a graveyard.

This meant that the deceased inside the tomb must have been an absolutely supreme being. The mere death intent it radiated was enough to eliminate countless living beings.

Black light seeped out from the tomb, the Giant Tomb managed to prop up the space, maintaining the integrity of this area, making it extremely stable. Even the terrifying power that had initially shattered the space couldn't damage the tomb in the slightest.

A vast amount of Chaos Power converged at the top of the tomb, coiling like serpents, unable to disentangle themselves, wrapping around the Giant Tomb in several spirals. At a superficial glance, the Chaos Power winding around the tomb seemed almost like a crown in appearance.

"Chaos Crown? Sky-Covering Crown? Whatever it's called, who is this person in the tomb that even the Chaos Power circles around in reverence? True Gods? Heavenly God? Ancient Gods? The Supreme?"

Huang Yuan looked utterly astonished, a strong sense of crisis welling up inside him. Merely a lone tomb brought a sense of a death threat to him, a powerhouse of the True God Realm.

"Not good, Old Huang, we need to retreat fast!"

Yan Qingxu suddenly shouted out a warning, his face contorted. He called out to Huang Yuan and, at the same time, was the first to fly backward. The Five Elements Escaping Technique was activated, and Yan Qingxu's whole body burst into the Brilliance of the Five-color Light Spectrum. The Light of Five Elements surged beneath his feet, and he seemed to transform into a streak of five-colored light, dashing swiftly toward the rear.

Boom!

As Yan Qingxu spoke, the Earth suddenly shook violently, and even the sky began to sway. The entire Spatial Fragment containing the Giant Tomb rolled tumultuously.

This is bad!

Huang Yuan's expression changed. Upon receiving Yan Qingxu's warning, he immediately engaged the Five Elements Escape Art, The Five-in-One Escape, and retreated rapidly.

His body also transformed into a five-color divine light, the soles of his feet erupting in a brilliance of five different colors.

However, as the huge space shook violently, he immediately lost his foothold and began floating in the void.

Huang Yuan's face suddenly darkened, with a sensation of danger surging from the depths of his heart.

Yan Qingxu also turned pale, and despite his timely reaction and hasty escape, he too failed to flee from the space. Like Huang Yuan, he lost his foothold as the massive space convulsed violently and began floating.

Crack!

A shattering noise came from the surface of the black tomb, and suddenly a crack appeared.

But upon closer inspection, it was clear that the crack wasn't real but illusory, the result of a strange force seeping out from the tomb, giving the illusion that the tomb had split open.

Nevertheless, a gray-black hand that resembled a bird's claw with only four slender fingers emerged from the illusory crack of the tomb, reaching straight for Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu, who were floating without a foothold.

Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu's faces twisted with terror, but without hesitation, they released all the power within their bodies.

The True Force within them exploded, the True Strength Seeds shining brilliantly, turning them both into beings of light in an instant.

Sacred golden light appeared outside Huang Yuan's body, forming a golden shield of Sacred Power, while Yan Qingxu's figure flashed with a five-color brilliance, his Five-color Divine Light enveloping his body as well.

Not only that, but the two also activated their full strength at once, causing loud booms as Divine Power unfolded above their heads, simultaneously manifesting their divine avatars.

Above Huang Yuan's head, the Thunder God Avatar appeared, with lightning and thunderbolts swirling around his body. A lightning shield formed around the outer perimeter of his Sacred Power, resulting in two protective layers, one inside and the other outside, safeguarding his body.

Above Yan Qingxu's head appeared a dark green Dragon Lord Avatar, a rare Spirit Tablet among the Divine Spirits.

The dark dragon roared as dark green light fell from the sky, instantly creating a second protective layer over the Five-color Divine Light and protecting Yan Qingxu's body.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu exhibited their strongest abilities in a flash, adopting a purely defensive stance. This was because the black claw stretching from the tomb possessed such overwhelming power that both had not even considered resisting it upon encounter.

Crack!

The gray-black eerie claw reached straight for them. Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu hurriedly dodged, exploding with a spectrum of five-colored lights within themselves and retreating swiftly using the Five Elements Escaping Technique.

A dull, heavy sound emanated from the grisly claw, with each finger sending forth a monstrous gray-black tendril. These tendrils, like the tentacles of an octopus, wrapped around Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu and rapidly tightened.

Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu's complexions changed dramatically, and as the gray-black monstrous tendrils constricted, the Gray-Black Chaotic Power immediately seeped through, enveloping them both like a shroud of gray-black smoke.

Sizzle! Hiss!

The protective lightning and Divine Power shielding Huang Yuan and Yan Qingxu were immediately eroded by the Chaotic Power, dissipating into the cosmos.

"It's the Power of Chaos!"

Huang Yuan exclaimed.

Yan Qingxu's complexion also changed, their divine powers proving incapable of resisting the power of Chaos, gradually being eroded and dissipated into oblivion.

※※※

"The All-Worlds Sensing Talisman is lit up, Senior Huang is asking for my help!"

Xiao Mu noticed the talisman around his waist flashing green light, immediately realizing that Huang Yuan was seeking him out. Given the agreement they'd reached the day before, he guessed right away that Huang Yuan needed his assistance.

With this realization, Xiao Mu instantly initiated the Escape Art and moved towards the temple district.

Upon entering the Great Temple and walking up to Huang Yuan's divine avatar, he bowed slightly.

"Xiao kid, you've finally arrived!"

The next moment, a weary voice tinged with weakness emerged from the divine avatar, which then promptly opened its eyes.
