Primordial Star Scripture
Chapter 1032 - 981: Terrifying Power

In the other testing spaces, they were also entirely filled with brightly shining mirrors.

The special engravings on these mirrors emitted extremely bright silver light, shining upon all members of the foreign races.

At the moment the light shone, these people were immediately confined by an unknown force within the testing space.

An extraordinary soul investigation began to unfold directly within their divine souls!

An hour of "Photographing Spirit Mirror" testing time.

Clearly, these mirrors in the space are the so-called "Photographing Spirit Mirrors."

As time passed, among the tens of thousands being tested, hundreds were directly rejected by the blue light sphere.

Each of the ones rejected felt immense fear in their hearts.

They didn't harbor a significant enmity towards the Extreme Spirit Clan, and they had unintentionally killed members of the clan during previous explorations thinking such hidden matters wouldn't be detected by the "Photographing Spirit Mirror," but unexpectedly, the mirror could uncover these incidences, directly rejecting them!

Fortunately, they personally did not have deep hatred against the Extreme Spirit Clan; they did not intentionally kill clan members back then, and were not specially marked by the "Photographing Spirit Mirror." Otherwise, being here for the selection process, they might have directly faced retaliation and death from the clan members!

Seeing they couldn't pass the test at the "Photographing Spirit Mirror," these rejected foreign members didn't have the face to linger further in the "Extreme Spirit Martial Land's selection space."

With pale expressions, they respectfully saluted the indifferent Sovereign Lei Bo observing them from the side, and left dejectedly.

At this time, almost everyone was caught in the soul investigation of the "Photographing Spirit Mirror."

However, there was someone who was an exception.

That person was Ye Chen!

While other testers were restrained by the enigmatic force of the "Photographing Spirit Mirror" within the testing space to undergo soul testing, Ye Chen felt that the moment the rays emitted by the mirror's special engravings reached him, it was as if a fuse triggered something else.

Instantly, Ye Chen felt a strange object directly manifest within him.

When he saw this peculiar object, it was as if a thunderous explosion went off in Ye Chen's mind.

This peculiar object was undoubtedly the mysterious "rune seal" from the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" that once transported him to the "Sea of Taboo!"

Formed by the three segments of unnamed mantras Ye Chen received in the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds," this bizarre "rune seal"!

Back then, this strange "rune seal" transported Ye Chen from the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" to the "Sea of Taboo," then vanished silently.

Ye Chen thought it had directly disappeared from him.

But Ye Chen didn't expect the mysterious "rune seal" was still within him, and during this round of the "Photographing Spirit Mirror" test, it revealed itself!

What shocked Ye Chen even more was that upon its manifestation, this strange "rune seal" lightly trembled.

That subtle tremor.

Ye Chen felt as if an earth-shattering, fearful power was sealed within this mysterious "rune seal."

This power gave Ye Chen the impression that it far surpassed the feeling he had when facing the Huyan Divine Master.

This power felt as if it was countless times stronger than even a Divine Master.

As if, should Ye Chen command this power, he could crush millions of stars in this universe with just a twist of his hand!

How could Ye Chen not be astonished?

Hidden within him, was such a peculiar "rune seal," revealing a terrifying force, which was truly shocking.

Ye Chen intended to carefully inspect this odd "rune seal," but after a tremble, it absorbed all the rays aimed at him from the "Photographing Spirit Mirror" and subsequently, the brightly shining mirrors in Ye Chen's testing space dimmed, and the special engravings ceased emitting light, as the bizarre "rune seal" within Ye Chen disappeared again.

This time, even though the peculiar "rune seal" vanished, Ye Chen knew it was thoroughly hidden within him, hidden somewhere unknown.

"This 'rune seal,' definitely harbors a huge secret!"

"What is its purpose in taking me from the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds' to the 'Sea of Taboo'?"

"Containing such terrifying power, seemingly a force countless times more dreadful than a Divine Master, what is its motive hiding within me?!"

"Why was I never able to detect this 'rune seal,' but it appeared momentarily here at the 'Photographing Spirit Mirror,' could it be, that there's some connection between the 'rune seal' and the 'Photographing Spirit Mirror'?"

Inside the testing space, Ye Chen could no longer focus on the "Photographing Spirit Mirror," his mind raced contemplating all these questions.

"Luckily, this 'rune seal' and its power, seemingly doesn't intend to harm me."

"Otherwise, with this force, not just myself, but destroying the entire 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom' with ease would be simple!"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's mind eased slightly.

Yet, having such an explosive element hidden within him, felt unusual to Ye Chen.

"The fact that an entity as powerful could form a 'rune seal' in the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds,' indeed shows its uniqueness."

"Divine Masters can't teleport within the 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom,' but this bizarre 'rune seal' transferred me from 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds' to 'Sea of Taboo.'

"I initially speculated that the creator of the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds' might be more formidable than a Divine Master, and surely enough, the secrets of the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds' remain unclear for the whole 'True Spirit Divine Kingdom.'

"Moreover, the inexplicable connection between the 'Ancient Forbidden Grounds' and the 'Sea of Taboo'!"

These speculations were inevitable for Ye Chen.

After all, the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" and the "Sea of Taboo" were both mystical places within the "True Spirit Divine Kingdom" the countless martial artists couldn't comprehend among the eight great forbidden lands!

If Ye Chen knew the peculiar "rune seal" hidden within him was formed from absorbing the strange rays emitted by the eight great forbidden lands, he would be even more astonished.

This "rune seal" not only relates to the "Ancient Forbidden Grounds" and "Sea of Taboo" but also intertwines with the other six major forbidden lands!

Ye Chen was further unaware of the hidden strand of hair from the stunningly regal female "Great Emperor" within this peculiar "rune seal."

Given his realm, he certainly couldn't decipher the concealment method of such an existence.

Within the testing space, only after the peculiar "rune seal" vanished for a long time, did Ye Chen recover from his shock.

Seeing no continuation of testing from the "Photographing Spirit Mirror," he wasn't in a hurry to leave the testing space.

After all, according to the test's rules, leaving before the allotted time would result in disqualification, which was undesirable.

Ye Chen contemplated while patiently waiting in the testing space.

Time flowed, and the hour-long test duration finally ended.

When time elapsed, each testing space's "Photographing Spirit Mirror" brightened once again, flashing blue light to expel those tested.

The testing space Ye Chen was in also emitted this blue light, though this time it didn't trigger the peculiar "rune seal" for another anomaly, and Ye Chen exited along with the others from the "Photographing Spirit Mirror" test.

Upon exiting, Ye Chen heard Sovereign Lei Bo's voice addressing them.

"All of you have successfully passed the first round of 'Photographing Spirit Mirror' testing, prepare immediately for the second selection round."

After speaking, Sovereign Lei Bo readied to lead the group towards the second selection area.

At this moment, Ye Chen's figure flickered, arriving beside Sovereign Lei Bo.

Ye Chen transmitted his voice to ask Sovereign Lei Bo, "Senior Lei Bo, do you know from where the Extreme Spirit Clan obtained the 'Photographing Spirit Mirrors'? Can you share some insight about them with the junior?"
