Crash!
As Qin Chen and the others' starship entered the stormy area the moment the dark mist engulfed the calm region, they finally reached the area of fierce waves.
Boom!
Towering waves, reaching thousands of zhang, surged towards the sky and then slammed down violently, intending to shatter everything in the underworld galaxy.
The starship that Qin Chen and the others occupied felt like a tiny boat tossed on the stormy sea, drifting helplessly like floating duckweed.
"That was close."
Qin Chen looked at the calm sea area shrouded by the black mist, feeling a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, they had made it into the storm area at the last moment; otherwise, if they had been engulfed by the mist, Qin Chen and the others would undoubtedly have met their demise.
At least, with their current strength, it was impossible for them to survive in the misty area.
"Let’s go, head in this direction."
However, even though they had escaped the mist area, it didn’t mean Qin Chen and the others were safe. The storm area was equally dangerous; once hit by a wave, even with the Haotian Divine Armor on Qin Chen, he would still be turned into mincemeat.
Under the guidance of the little dragon in the galaxy, their tiny boat navigated through the fierce waves, each moment filled with danger that made them break into a cold sweat.
For half a day, Qin Chen held his breath, not daring to relax even for a moment, and finally sailed out of the storm area.
What came into Qin Chen's view was a pitch-black underworld galaxy, exuding a heart-pounding aura.
The underworld galaxy was originally very oppressive, but at this moment, seeing it made Qin Chen feel completely at ease. Compared to the storm area and the Bermuda Triangle, this peaceful underworld galaxy surface gave them endless security.
"My Lord, quickly come and see what you caught!"
Gu Li Mo immediately walked over with excitement. After expending so much effort and almost dying in the Bermuda Triangle, what kind of treasure had they managed to catch?
Qin Chen also looked towards the black object.
The object was flat, entirely black, covered in countless mud and grime, making it impossible to distinguish what it was. Qin Chen took out Tianjing Water to wash it, and suddenly, numerous silt and dark energy were washed away, revealing a pure black stone slab, adorned with ancient patterns, exuding an aura of age. Just a glance made his mind seem to present an endless abyss.
"Ah!"
Gu Li Mo suddenly screamed, blood streaming from his eyes.
Step, step, step!
Qi Bu Man's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
As for the old dwarf, he couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground, frothing at the mouth, his eyes vacant.
"Not good, my Lord, you can't look at this stone tablet too much," Ciyu Tianqiong said in terror, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, hurriedly turning his head as dizziness overcame him.
He was a master close to the pinnacle of Human Venerable, yet at that moment, he found it hard to stand, greatly frightened.
This stone tablet was too terrifying; just a few glances nearly shattered his soul. What on earth was this?
However, Qin Chen couldn't hear Ciyu Tianqiong's warning. He was staring blankly at the stone slab before him, the countless patterns on it spinning like a kaleidoscope, threatening to engulf Qin Chen's soul.
"Ah!"
Qin Chen let out a low roar. If someone were to see him at this moment, they would discover that his eyes had turned completely black, and his soul seemed to be dazed, as if entirely captured by the stone tablet.
The soul and life energy within Qin Chen were rapidly weakening, as if drawn away by the void.
On the dark stone tablet, mysterious auras flowed, with countless patterns containing supreme truths, attempting to assimilate Qin Chen.
"My Lord."
"My Lord, can you hear me?"
Ciyu Tianqiong heard Qin Chen's low growl, followed by a dead silence that caused panic to rise in his heart. He shouted urgently, but no matter how he called, there was no response from the outside world, nor did Qin Chen reply.
