After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

Chen Yun narrowed his eyes, sensing the aura above.

That wasn't the underground space he had come from, nor was it the direction of the passage he had taken.

It was a completely unfamiliar feeling.

The newly generated power within him stirred, urging him to explore this unknown.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He bent his knees slightly and exerted force suddenly.

Her body was incredibly light, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

It shot towards the hole above.

The wind whistled past his ears.

The dust in the air was swept away by his powerful energy.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yun passed through the narrow opening.

We entered a much larger space.

However, what he saw before him stunned him instantly.

This was not the underground cave he had envisioned at all.

This is a magnificent, breathtaking underground palace!

As far as the eye could see, there were massive buildings with a cold, bronze hue.

Ancient bronze bricks pave the ground, and thick bronze walls are engraved with ancient totems that are now blurred.

The enormous bronze pillars stand tall and imposing.

The dome that supports the entire space.

The air was filled with a heavy atmosphere that had been silent for countless years; time seemed to stand still here.

"Could it be... that I've been transported to another place by spatial distortion?"

Chen Yun muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

The explosion in the passage earlier, and the astonishing changes in the power within the body.

Perhaps it triggered some unknown spatial fluctuation, bringing him to this godforsaken place.

He cautiously scanned his surroundings, the Yin-Yang vortex within his body slowly rotating.

Be prepared to respond to any emergencies.

The palace was deathly silent, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.

This made him dare not be careless in the slightest.

Walking slowly forward, Chen Yun passed through the ruins of a collapsed bronze pillar.

A faint sound came from underfoot.

It sounded particularly jarring in this deathly silence.

Dark shadows loomed deep within the palace, as if something was lurking there.

After walking about a hundred meters, a huge bronze lamp suddenly blocked his way.

The lamp is about three zhang tall, with a simple and rugged shape, and is also carved with obscure and difficult-to-understand patterns.

Despite its age, the lamp appears to be intact.

Chen Yun stopped and curiously reached out his hand, his fingertips gently touching the cool bronze surface.

A strange energy fluctuation emanated from the lamp.

It instantly surged into his fingertips, along his arm, and rushed straight to his dantian.

"Buzz!"

The moment this energy entered the body, the entire underground palace seemed to come alive!

"Rumble--"

A deafening roar came from all directions, and the bronze ground beneath our feet began to tremble violently.

It looked as if some enormous creature was about to burst forth from the ground.

Chen Yun's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand and retreated rapidly.

"Crack! Click!"

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, twelve huge circular holes suddenly appeared in the bronze floor.

Immediately afterwards, twelve tall figures slowly rose from the cave entrance.

Those were actually twelve puppets made entirely of pitch-black iron!

They are over ten feet tall, with robust bodies, strong lines, and a powerful presence.

As they rose, two eerie dark red lights shone from their eyes.

The twelve black iron puppets rose to the level of the ground.

They turned around in perfect unison, their dark red eyes locking onto Chen Yun.

"Anyone who trespasses into the underground palace shall die!"

A deep, cold, and emotionless voice emanated simultaneously from the mouths of the twelve puppets.

It was as harsh and jarring as the clanging of metal.

Before the words were finished, the twelve puppets simultaneously raised their enormous bronze halberds.

The tip of the halberd gleamed with a chilling light, pointing directly at Chen Yun!

The next moment, twelve enormous halberd shadows appeared with a whooshing sound as they tore through the air.

Twelve attacks came simultaneously from twelve directions at Chen Yun!

"Fuck me!"

Chen Yun cursed under his breath, and the Yin-Yang vortex within his body began to circulate wildly.

He suddenly dodged to the side.

"Rumble--"

Twelve bronze halberds slammed down on the ground where Chen Yun had just stood!

With a deafening roar, the seemingly solid bronze floor crumbled as if it were made of paper.

Twelve enormous, bottomless cracks were instantly cleaved open!

Broken pieces of bronze flew everywhere, raising clouds of dust.

Looking at the shocking destructive power on the ground, Chen Yun felt a wave of fear.

If you were hit by that, you'd probably be seriously injured, if not killed!

These twelve iron lumps are ridiculously powerful!

While dodging the puppet's continuous attacks, he quickly surveyed his surroundings.

Although the movements of the twelve puppets appeared somewhat stiff, their speed was incredibly fast.

Moreover, its attack range was extremely large, blocking all his escape routes.

Just as Chen Yun was struggling to dodge, another unexpected event occurred.

On the surface of the twelve black iron puppets, strange blood-red incantations began to appear.

The incantations moved erratically across the puppet's body.

At the same time, the twelve puppets stood in some mysterious positions.

The bronze ground beneath their feet glowed with a blinding crimson light.

Intricate array patterns rapidly spread out.

They surrounded Chen Yun in the center.

A powerful suppressive force instantly enveloped Chen Yun.

This caused the circulation of Yin and Yang energy within his body to become sluggish.

“Crimson incantations…twelve directions…array patterns beneath the feet…”

Chen Yun's expression changed drastically as the name of an ancient formation flashed through his mind.

"The Twelve Heavenly Generals Killing Formation?!"

He cried out in disbelief. This was a terrifying killing formation from ancient times, used to strangle powerful enemies.

I never expected to run into you here!

There was no time to think further; the red light in the eyes of the twelve puppets intensified.

He raised the bronze halberd high once more.

The crimson runes on the halberd tip flowed, exuding a chilling aura of destruction.

Chen Yun took a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn.

Once this killing formation is fully activated, its power will likely increase many times over.

Now, he must find a way to break the formation before it is fully formed!

The Yin-Yang vortex within the body began to spin wildly at an accelerated pace.

Two energies, one black and one white, intertwined and merged, forming a powerful force.

Like a flood bursting its banks, it surged into his limbs and bones.

The dark gold bone patterns shimmered faintly beneath his skin.

Exuding a powerful pressure.

He spread his arms, and a tremendous power surged out from his body like tangible ripples.

With an aura of annihilation, it crashed violently into the crimson array patterns surrounding him!

"boom!"

The energy collided with the formation, producing a deafening roar.

The entire palace trembled.

The crimson array patterns shone brightly, clashing with Chen Yun's power and producing a crackling sound.

However, the twelve puppets also roared at the same time.

The crimson runes on his body instantly merged into the array beneath his feet, making the array's light even more intense.

A backlash suddenly struck Chen Yun!

"puff--"

Chen Yun felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood almost gushed out, but he forced it down.
