Primordial Star Scripture
Chapter 1016 - 965: Forbidden Sea of Taboo

"Where is this?!"

Ye Chen stood on a boundless ocean, his mind and spirit trembling.

Ye Chen didn't know that after he disappeared through mysterious transportation and obtained the "Heavenly Forbidden Flame," he caused a great stir among the two supreme clans, Nine Flames Clan and Blood Wing Clan, for not appearing outside the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds."

Later, when the news that both Xueling Chan and Blood Flying Yan died in the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" and the "Heavenly Forbidden Flame" was taken by him reached the ears of Blood Origin Divine Master, the powerful eightfold Divine Master even searched hundreds of star continents around the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds!"

When still finding nothing, the members of Blood Wing Clan really thought he had died inside the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds."

The Blood Wing Clan sent strong individuals to guard outside the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" for several dozen days, eventually giving up.

Ye Chen was even more unaware that his continuous absence from the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" deeply worried Cai Meng'er and Cai Xiao'er, two sisters who also guarded outside the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" for a long time.

Until Cai Meng Sovereign forcibly took them away, both women couldn't help but feel worried and concerned about Ye Chen.

Everything that happened in the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds," Blood Wing Clan, and Nine Flames Clan was temporarily irrelevant to Ye Chen, as he was too preoccupied to consider much, because at that moment all of Ye Chen's focus was on the new place he arrived at, in his thoughts: "Where is this?!"

Indeed.

He was brought to such a vast ocean by a mysterious object comprised of three segments of "unnamed mantras," and it seemed the strange object that entered his body had disappeared after bringing him here, making him unable to sense it within his being, which obviously made him incredibly alarmed.

Just as Ye Chen's mind and spirit trembled, Xiaojiu's voice suddenly came to him.

"Ye Chen, take a good look at this ocean, it... it seems to be the 'Sea of Taboo'!"

Upon hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen quickly examined the surrounding sea carefully.

"Sea of Taboo?"

When he saw a series of colorful halos appear over the surrounding sea and noticed the ocean, boundlessly stretched out before him, turning from blue to black intermittently accompanied by these halos, and looking up towards the sky, where eight blazing suns seemed to shine upon this ocean in endless void, Ye Chen was struck with a sudden shock.

Eight Shas illuminate the sea, sealing off the forbidden grounds!

This indeed seems to be the "Sea of Taboo" he had heard of!

"The 'Sea of Taboo' is like the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds,' one of the Eight Great Forbidden Lands of the 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom.' Moreover, the 'Sea of Taboo' is extremely close to the 'Extreme Spirit Sea' where the General Yinsha I seek is located, it could be said that the 'Sea of Taboo' is a forbidden land exclusive to the 'Extreme Spirit Clan'!"

"It is said that if you head out from the 'Sea of Taboo' along the direction of the fifth largest sun of the eight blazing ones, and pass through an 'Extreme Spirit Barrier,' you can directly enter the realm of 'Extreme Spirit Sea.'

"Did I just teleport instantly into the 'Sea of Taboo' outside the 'Extreme Spirit Sea'?!"

Ye Chen was practically shocked speechless!

According to his plan from the capital of True Spirit Divine Kingdom to 'Extreme Spirit Sea,' even if taken by the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion' for travel, one-third of the journey would take at least several months.

And the distance from "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" to "Sea of Taboo" is even more remote than from the capital of True Spirit Divine Kingdom to the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds."

Yet now, after such a brief transportation, he had crossed such immense distances to arrive outside the "Sea of Taboo," which naturally shocked Ye Chen to the extreme!

What startled Ye Chen even more was why he was transported to the "Sea of Taboo" outside the "Extreme Spirit Sea."

If said that some unknown force knew he wanted to come to the "Extreme Spirit Clan," it was basically impossible.

There was only one possibility, which was that there must be some inexplicable connection between the "Sea of Taboo" and "Ancient Forbidden Grounds," which is why he suddenly appeared here.

Alas.

The strange object that brought him here could no longer be sensed, leaving Ye Chen unaware of the reason behind it.

Ye Chen could only focus on the immediate concerns.

"No matter the reason, since I've arrived at the 'Sea of Taboo,' the key point is to quickly head towards the 'Extreme Spirit Sea' to find 'General Yinsha.'

"This weird transportation saved me a great deal of travel time and should not be wasted!"

Ye Chen can't forget his primary mission for coming to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

The prior "Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion" operation and "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" journey were mere side notes, and his main objective in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom is to fulfill the task given by Huyan Divine Master - to locate "General Yinsha!"

This is a matter concerning Ye Chen's life and safety.

Checking the time, it's one year and a little over a month until the deadline set by Huyan Divine Master to complete the mission. If by then he still hasn't found "General Yinsha," the curse killing force Huyan Divine Master left within him will erupt, potentially killing him instantly.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen quickly recollected matters concerning the "Sea of Taboo."

Only by understanding the "Sea of Taboo" can he swiftly exit it.

Information about the "Sea of Taboo" was indeed recorded in the "True Spirit Picture Guide" left by the eight Sovereigns he had encountered before coming to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Unlike the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds," where no one can enter freely without facing almost certain death, only the Nine Flames Clan and Blood Wing Clan have special methods to enter at specific times.

The "Sea of Taboo" allows entry.

However, the "Sea of Taboo," which is as renowned as the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" within the True Spirit Divine Kingdom's "Eight Great Forbidden Lands," is certainly not an ordinary place and is filled with immense peril.

According to the "True Spirit Compendium," this "Sea of Taboo" has an annual "period of extreme peril" lasting eight months, during which entering even the shallow areas of the "Sea of Taboo" is highly risky.

And entering the deep sea during the "period of extreme peril" is almost guaranteed death!

Only with extraordinary luck or supreme dive skills can one safely enter and exit the deep sea during the "period of extreme peril" within the "Sea of Taboo."

Due to this, the "Extreme Spirit Clan," which occupies the "Sea of Taboo," has established the rule that during the eight-month "period of extreme peril," the entire "Sea of Taboo" is restricted.

Without a special order from the "Extreme Spirit Clan," not even the shallow areas of the "Sea of Taboo" can be entered.

As for the "deep sea area," no one may enter.

Upon thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly realized: he was currently inside the "Sea of Taboo," and judging from the surroundings, it matched the description of the deep sea area of the "Sea of Taboo" depicted in the "True Spirit Compendium."

So, is it currently the "period of extreme peril" within the "Sea of Taboo"?

If it is, then he is in an exceedingly dangerous situation.

After all, entering the deep sea during the "period of extreme peril" is almost certain death, with the odds of survival being slim to none!

With this realization, Ye Chen hurriedly discerned direction and flew towards the edge of the deep sea area.

As he flew, Ye Chen's heart sank deeper.

On his journey, he actually hadn't encountered a single "Extreme Spirit Clan" member!

If it's not the "period of extreme peril" right now, logically, there should be many "Extreme Spirit Clan" members exploring the "Sea of Taboo." Since he hasn't met anyone, the only possibility is that it truly is the "period of extreme peril," so the clan members don't dare to come to the deep sea!

Boom!

Just as Ye Chen sensed something amiss and had flown out for roughly a dozen breaths' time, suddenly, an earth-shattering tentacle emerged from the ocean below.

This towering tentacle, with unimaginable speed, lashed towards him.

Ye Chen could sense that the killing force of this tentacle undoubtedly reached the level of at least a two-star Sovereign's combat power.

A two-star Sovereign's combat power, with Ye Chen's recent activation of the second star in the Stars Tower, capable of channeling the "golden-purple starry origin power," suggested that he had a chance to battle.

However, Ye Chen dared not fight against this mysterious titanic tentacle.

This tentacle was deadly at the two-star Sovereign level, but in this boundless ocean, there could be hidden forces exceeding the five-star Sovereign, nine-star Sovereign, or even surpassing Sovereign realm levels.

If he rashly engaged in combat here, it would certainly be suicide!

With this thought, Ye Chen instantly activated the Changeable Divine Ability from the Taiyi Chapter at the moment the tentacle reached him, transforming into a drop of seawater and swiftly plunging into the ocean below.

Previously, in the Ninth Region of the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds," he transformed into a "Bone Fire Spirit Fish," and even the creator of the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" couldn't detect his transformation.

Ye Chen felt that the killing entities in the "Sea of Taboo," especially the titanic tentacle, should also be unable to detect his transformation.

Indeed, as Ye Chen had anticipated.

As he transformed into a drop of seawater, the tentacle that lashed out at him seemed to lose its target, pausing momentarily in the void before retracting and diving back underwater.

Thus, as Ye Chen transformed into a drop of seawater, he also plunged into the ocean.

Upon entering the ocean, Ye Chen directly observed the true form of the titanic tentacle that had attacked him—beneath the water lay a colossal black octopus measuring a thousand feet, probing the surroundings.

And this black octopus, Ye Chen could sense, indeed had a two-star Sovereign realm!

What surprised Ye Chen further was that within the surrounding waters, there were countless octopuses swirling, among which Ye Chen sensed several at least nine-star Sovereign levels!

Evidently, he had entered the realm of the octopus sea monsters.

Alarmed, Ye Chen dared not delay further; as a drop of seawater, he drifted with the ocean currents, gradually escaping the octopus territory.

Fortunately, the ocean currents in this area moved quickly, and roughly half an hour later, Ye Chen finally exited the dominion of the octopies.

Yet, Ye Chen did not revert to human form and maintained his "drop of seawater" state.

After discerning direction, he continued rapidly towards the outside of the "Sea of Taboo," heading for the "Extreme Spirit Clan."
