The space was very quiet. There was not a single sound.

Only a thick fog quietly floated three feet away.

There seemed to be light above his head. Through the thick fog, it appeared pure white.

There was no clear wind, no slow water.

It was as if there was nothing in this world but the fog.

Ye Changge also suspected for a moment that he was hallucinating.

There was also the sound of iron and stone colliding in this kind of place.

It was like the sound of hard steel scraping against the ground.

It should be very far away. The sound that Ye Changge heard was very small and very subtle.

But he was very sure that there was a sound!

Ye Changge looked to the left, through the thick white fog.

His bright eyes seemed to see through the thick fog, and he had a faint smile on his face.

"You're not coming out?"

Ye Changge said softly, then stood rooted in place for a while. He looked ahead to the left and asked again.

There was no response.

It was so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened just now. It was completely an illusion.

Ye Changge sensed that something was wrong.

But Ye Changge, who was already in the godly spirit realm, did not believe that something bad would happen to him.

Ye Changge walked over there in large strides, walking in the direction where he had heard the sound before.

The fog was still the same. With every step Ye Changge took, the fog receded.

The distance the white fog retreated became shorter and shorter.

After walking for a while, the white fog gradually turned black.

After entering the place, the light in the entire space disappeared.

Although it looked no different from the outside world, Ye Changge felt a sense of darkness.

Eerie.

Strange.

It was as if he had entered an area filled with demonic qi. There were all kinds of strange creatures lurking in the dark, spying on him.

Ye Changge's expression was the same as usual. He was not afraid at all and continued to walk forward.

Then, pitch-black chains appeared.

The entire space was occupied by pitch-black chains, like a lush forest.

The thick chains towered into the sky, like a giant ancient tree.

The chains walked forward.

The endless pitch-black chains were entangled together, and one could vaguely see the outline of a person.

That person's head was facing down, his feet were facing the sky, and he was suspended upside down in the sky.

"Who are you?"

Ye Changge asked softly. He guessed that the voice he heard was from him.

Could it be a cry for help?

No matter how one looked at it, this person was bound by the chains, unable to leave.

He was like a prisoner.

After coming over for a while, seeing that the man did not respond, Ye Changge asked another question.

He carefully observed the human figure that was bound by the thick chains.

The man did not speak. No, he could not speak.

Ye Changge keenly noticed that the man's chest moved slightly.

Then, countless densely packed chains instantly tightened.

Like a python preying on its prey, it coiled around its prey.

Every time the prey breathed, the python would coil around it even more tightly. Obtaining the air necessary for survival became the prey's life-threatening weakness.

Every time its victim's chest moved, the python would seize the opportunity to tighten until the prey could no longer breathe.

Ye Changge felt that this chain was much like a python.

Every time the trapped man made a move, the chain would tighten.

Until he died.

This was the only thing that Ye Changge found strange after entering this space.

He wanted to try breaking this chain and see if he could draw out something.

To let him find a way out of here.

Ye Changge tried to break the chain with spells.

But no matter if it was a sword technique or a spell.

There was not even a spark when it hit the chain.

The pitch-black chain did not have any luster, as if it was immune to all spells.

No matter what kind of spell it was, it didn't cause the slightest damage when it hit the chain.

Ye Changge was 100% sure that even if it hit anything in the divine realm, he would be able to leave a mark.

But this chain didn't have any spiritual essence. In the eyes of the divine sense, it was just an extremely ordinary chain.

It was not some rare divine artifact or a legendary Dao artifact.

It was just like a chain that a mortal created with a hammer.

It was just a little darker.

Ye Changge looked around again, but the surrounding chain forest didn't have any changes.

Raising his head, Ye Changge noticed that the chains all came from the sky. Ye Changge planned to go up and take a look.

They did not grow out of the ground and intertwine with each other as he remembered.

Ye Changge formed an incantation gesture and his body rose up from the ground, slowly floating into the air.

The higher he went, the thicker the chains were, and the more secret manuals there were.

After an unknown period of time.

A pure black sun appeared in the sky, emitting a colorless but incomparably dark light in the sky.

The light passed through the top layer of clouds, and the light that shone from it turned into a black iron chain.

It fell from the clouds to the ground and turned into the pitch-black forest.

Ye Changge thought about it. Since the chain could not be broken, could the sun do it?

He felt that the sun was far away from him, so his spells might not be able to hit it.

Ye Changge took out a divine spear and smashed it into the black sun.

The divine spear was like Hou Yi's arrow, stabbing at the sun fiercely.

The black sun was extremely huge, and the divine spear was like a toothpick in front of it.

The two collided, and in an instant, the black sun burst with an incomparably terrifying wave of flames.

The iron chains in the clouds were also affected by this. There was no wind, but they also began to swing wildly.

They surged towards Ye Changge.

"Quickly leave."

Just as Ye Changge frantically avoided the chains, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Who was it?

Ye Changge did not know, but the person who could speak up to help him at this time was most likely not an enemy. He did not care whether he heard or not, and said loudly,

"What exactly is this?"

When the voice heard Ye Changge's words, its tone also became anxious.

"Artifact Spirit Replacement Technique, don't bother so much. Quickly come down and I'll send you out!"

Artifact Spirit Replacement Technique. Ye Changge judged that the person who was helping him now should be the original artifact spirit of the Human Mountain Seal, which was also the human figure that was entangled by countless chains.

Right now, he was being replaced by someone. In a while, he might be replaced by other artifact spirits.

Ye Changge wanted to save him.

Since the artifact spirit was already leaning towards him, and he saved it, there be a high chance of obtaining this worldly treasure, right?

Ye Changge spoke.

"Then I want to save you. How should I save you?"

"Get out! This array formation is impossible to break inside! I've already thought of all the methods you can think of."

Ye Changge did not hesitate. Hearing the artifact spirit's words, he hurriedly began to run down.

Rushing to the position of the human-shaped chains, the chains that hung down from the sky seemed to have sensed Ye Changge's thoughts, and their speed suddenly increased.

They chased after Ye Changge crazily, like a predator chasing its prey.

Like a person, the chains were chasing him. Ye Changge's skills were better. He rushed to the side of the artifact spirit that was bound together by countless chains.

The moment Ye Changge arrived, a hole that was as tall as a person suddenly appeared in the pitch-black fog.

It was empty inside, emitting a spatial aura. It seemed like it was an exit.
