Chapter 540: Seeking the Emperor Fiend?

Nearby… it is highly likely that an aura of another Emperor Fiend level exists! Moreover, it is on the same tier as the Golden Emperor Dragon, and may even be connected to that Emperor Fiend!

Ye Wuque instantly understood.

Without any hesitation, he immediately gathered all his Qi, sank his mind into the Soul Space, and fully sensed and captured the direction and intensity of the True Dragon Bone Vibration.

At this moment, the True Dragon Bone was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, rippling with concentric pale‑gold circles that only Ye Wuque could perceive.

The ripples pointed to a definite direction, and as Ye Wuque adjusted his bearing, the vibration's intensity subtly shifted.

"There!" Ye Wuque locked onto the direction; it was deeper within the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago, a region shrouded by dense Chaos mist and raging Time‑Space Turbulence, where ordinary beings would never dare approach.

For the True Dragon Bone to respond, that opportunity must be far from trivial!

Ye Wuque no longer delayed; the Law of Space around him subtly warped, boosting his speed to the limit, turning him into a dim streak of light that almost merged with the Void, racing toward the direction indicated by the vibration.

After crossing several Burial Sea Vortex Zones of violent energy, dodging a few massive island worlds clearly occupied by terrifying beings, and following the increasingly clear resonance guide, Ye Wuque finally found the target above a relatively calm Burial Sea area.

It was a vast, ancient, towering island world beyond description!

Even within the Ten Thousand Beasts Archipelago, which consists of countless great worlds, the scale of this island world unquestionably ranks among the very top!

Its outline, set against distant Chaos mist, resembled an ancient colossal beast lying on the Burial Sea; even its naturally emitted world aura was so massive and oppressive it took one's breath away.

The World Barrier displayed a profound dark‑gold hue, its surface coursing with intricate, arcane Natural Dao Patterns, faint shadows of vanished stars and shifting mountains and rivers drifting across it.

Simply by approaching, one could feel a weight and ancient majesty far surpassing any island world previously encountered.

"This is it."

Ye Wuque could clearly sense that the True Dragon Bone Vibration in the Soul Space peaked as he neared this colossal island world, even faintly conveying an indescribable complex emotion—familiarity, curiosity, and a hint… of a faint melancholy?

Without hesitation, Ye Wuque gathered all his Qi like a drop merging into the sea, silently slipping through the thick, powerful World Barrier and entering the interior of this extraordinary island world.

Upon entry, he was met with an overwhelming, unbreakable pure celestial Qi, and a subtle, noble, vast, almost rule‑defying special Dao Rhythm that permeated all things.

The quality of the Qi here was extremely high, nearly liquid, and even with each breath one could feel a slight increase in cultivation.

The land boasted majestic mountains, vast rivers, towering ancient forests, and countless spiritual herbs and celestial grasses.

In the sky, one could even see some rare external beings—spiritual birds with faint divine beast bloodlines—gliding peacefully.

What concerned Ye Wuque even more was that the native beings of this island world were generally overwhelmingly strong!

His Divine Sense swept over, easily detecting dozens of life vibrations at the Immortal tier, and even a few obscure auras that gave him a hint of threat!

This far exceeded the island world he and Dou Tianxiong had previously explored.

Whether in terms of the world's antiquity, vastness, energy tier, or the strength of its beings, this world before him dwarfed the previous one by countless times!

"A world capable of nurturing beings of such a tier must have core opportunities far beyond imagination,"

Ye Wuque thought to himself, becoming even more cautious.

He did not disturb any native beings, fully concealing his form and Qi, and began to delve deeper into this vast world guided by the increasingly concrete and precise True Dragon Bone Vibration.

This exploration lasted a full half month!

The world was truly enormous, and its internal structure was unimaginably complex.

Beyond the vast lands and seas, deep underground, within the sky's cloud layers, and even in some isolated spatial strata, countless secret realms, caverns, ruins, and micro‑worlds of all sizes existed!

These secret realms interlinked yet remained independent, forming a dizzyingly massive composite world system.

The True Dragon Bone Vibration fluctuated, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, at times pointing clearly, at others seeming blurred by interference.

Ye Wuque had to spend extensive time traversing various regions, breaking natural or artificial seals, avoiding territories of powerful native tribes, and even engaging in brief, fierce clashes with several formidable ancient beasts occupying secret realms.

Finally, after traversing tens of thousands of secret realms, large and small, dangerous or peaceful,

the True Dragon Bone guidance led him to one of the world's most central, most hidden zones… before the entrance of an ancient secret realm wrapped in layers of Chaos Qi and Time‑Space Turbulence.

The entrance to this secret realm was hidden deep within a desolate place constantly ravaged by Lei Dian, known as the Extinction Thunder Abyss. The seals at the entrance were exceedingly complex and ancient, integrating fragments of the highest laws—Space, Time, Causality, Fate, and others. Without the key resonance points provided by the True Dragon Bone, Ye Wuque thought that finding and opening it would likely require years, perhaps even longer, and might still not succeed.

"This is it." Ye Wuque took a deep breath, and following the specific frequency and trajectory indicated by the True Dragon Bone Vibration, infused a strand of pure Primordial Force and Divine Sense into several key nodes of the entrance's seals.

"Hum— clack clack clack—"

It was as if ancient chains sealed for eons were slowly drawn, and the secret realm entrance, blended with Chaos Qi and Time‑Space Turbulence, gently rippled outward like a ring of water, revealing a passage narrow enough for a single person, exuding a desolate ancient aura.

Ye Wuque stepped in.

The scene before him changed abruptly!

The interior space of this ancient secret realm was far more unfathomable than what could be sensed from outside!

It was not a single cavern or micro‑world, but… a cluster of worlds composed of literally trillions of miniature worlds of varying sizes and forms, subtly linked by spatial threads.

These miniature worlds floated like countless stars in an unformed Chaos Void background; some were as large as stars, housing complete ecosystems and civilizations, while others were as tiny as bullets, perhaps sealing a single item or memory. Some burned like the sun, some chilled like a frozen prison, some teemed with life, others lay in Dead Silence and desolation… billions upon billions! Together they formed a vast, magnificent yet despair‑inducing spectacle!

And the True Dragon Bone Vibration, after entering this secret realm, became unprecedentedly clear and urgent!

It acted like the most precise compass, ignoring the interference of billions of miniature worlds, locking firmly onto a single direction.

Ye Wuque followed the guide, traversing the star‑sea composed of countless miniature worlds.

His speed was extreme; his form became an elusive streak of light, skimming past each ordinary or bizarre miniature world.

He could sense that many miniature worlds emitted strong auras, evidently harboring opportunities, yet the True Dragon Bone's guidance allowed no distraction.

After an unknown span of traversal, crossing vast world distances, ahead a seemingly ordinary, even slightly inconspicuous miniature world appeared in his detection.

This miniature world was medium‑sized, roughly spherical, its surface dimly luminous, emitting no remarkable energy fluctuations or phenomena, blending among the billions like an ordinary grain of sand on a beach, utterly unremarkable.

Yet the True Dragon Bone Vibration at this moment peaked at its strongest, conveying a definitive sense of "this is the place."

"Great subtlety without artifice, returning to simplicity… the more important something is, the deeper it is hidden."

Ye Wuque understood instantly and, without hesitation, flew toward that seemingly ordinary miniature world.

Passing through a thin world membrane, the interior scene once again moved Ye Wuque slightly.

Inside this miniature world, there was not a single continent or planet, but countless ancient and vast Star Domains!

Between the Star Domains, Star Rivers glittered, nebulae spread, the laws were complete and stable, and their scale and perfection were almost on par with some mid‑size independent universes outside.

Who could have imagined that within what seemed merely a miniature world lay such an expansive starry sky?

The True Dragon Bone's guidance did not cease; like a sentient guide, it led Ye Wuque to perform successive ultra‑long‑range spatial jumps beneath this starry sky, traversing dozens of distinct large Star Domains, and finally descending into a remote, desolate large Star Domain at the edge of the starry expanse.
