Chapter 547: Gaining Control and the Giant Beast
```
This is a sea area shrouded in mist.
From outside this sea area, one could hardly feel the aura of any treasures. Even after flying into this mist-, the difference between this sea area and others was not detectable.
It was only after Ye Chen and the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan had stood firm in this domain and searched carefully, that they finally noticed something wrong with this sea area.
In a very small range, the waters from all directions were flowing toward the same central point.
It was as if all these waters were pouring into the same deep hole.
"Something's not right here!"
Panpo Wu, the second of the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan who first noticed the anomaly in this small area of the sea, cried out.
In an instant, Ye Chen, Panpo Zhan, and Panpo Qing, flashed through the void and flew to Panpo Wu's side.
All four sets of eyes turned to the center of the small area where the water was flowing.
"Hm? This water..."
"It is very likely that one of the eight 'Eyes of Creation' from the fifteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace is hidden here."
Upon exchanging glances, the same thought flashed through their minds.
At that moment, Ye Chen activated his Divine Soul skill "Destruction Eye Skills," known for unveiling hidden secrets. With the imposing power of the "Destruction" character, he gazed toward the center where all the waters converged.
After observing for a few breaths, Ye Chen pointed sharply in the air, and an ordinary-looking droplet of water was suddenly ejected from the flowing waters at the center, flying into Ye Chen's hand.
"Ye Chen, my friend?!"
When Ye Chen made his move, the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan were taken aback.
Having noticed something amiss with this part of the sea, they had activated various divine powers, ready to assist Ye Chen in finding the "Eye of Creation."
However, even as their divine powers were at work, they had not noticed any signs of the "Eye of Creation." They could only watch Ye Chen's actions, causing the brothers' hearts to skip a beat: "Could it be that friend Ye Chen has discovered the 'Eye of Creation'?"
"We are all Nine Calamities True Gods and we haven't detected the Eye of Creation. Could it be that friend Ye Chen has some special treasure hunting method?"
The three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan stared disbelief at the droplet that Ye Chen had drawn from the water.
Even now, staring at this droplet, they couldn't detect anything unusual.
At this time, Ye Chen let out a light smile and sharply tapped on the droplet. As if a mysterious force had been activated, the ordinary droplet started to expand rapidly.
In an instant, it grew from the size of a mung bean to the size of a human head.
What was even more amazing was that the head-sized droplet still maintained its pure appearance. The only difference was the lines of divine patterns that began to surface on it.
After Ye Chen's tap, these divine patterns started to twist in various directions. After a few breaths, a light "crack" sounded, and the head-sized droplet shattered, revealing an object inside.
This object was a fist-sized, translucent crystal orb with mysterious and intricate patterns embedded within, displaying an unusually beautiful purple-red color.
If it wasn't the "Eye of Creation" that had been described on the rule tokens of the Undersea Divine Palace, then what could it be?!
"The Eye of Creation!"
"My God, this 'Eye of Creation' was actually hidden inside an ordinary droplet in the vast ocean. If not for the location received from the Divine King, I'm afraid that even if many overturned the fifteenth floor entirely, they would likely never find this droplet containing the 'Eye of Creation'!"
"What's even more amazing is that you, friend Ye Chen, could discover the 'Eye of Creation' inside this droplet! The three of us have worn out our eyes and still failed to see any anomaly in it!"
The three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan looked at the now-revealed "Eye of Creation" in Ye Chen's hand and exclaimed in amazement.
"Senior brothers, I have cultivated a special Divine Soul skill that allows me to detect what is wrong with this droplet," Ye Chen said with a smile to the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan.
At the same time, Ye Chen took a deep breath and looked at the "Eye of Creation" in his palm.
This was the first "Eye of Creation" Ye Chen had obtained.
It meant that Ye Chen now had a chance to escape the catastrophe of the Great Purge!
Looking at the fist-sized, crystal-clear, beautiful purple-red crystal in his palm, how could Ye Chen not be emotionally stirred? How could he not be filled with immense sentiments?
Ye Chen gripped the round crystal tightly, his gaze turned toward the vast ocean of the fifteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, his eyes blazing with determination: "Having obtained an 'Eye of Creation,' is not enough!"
There were a total of eight Eyes of Creation in the fifteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, and Ye Chen had only obtained one. How could he be satisfied? He wanted to acquire more "Eyes of Creation" to help more of his loved ones escape the Great Purge's devastation!
"Next, let's search for the remaining seven!"
After murmuring to himself, Ye Chen turned his gaze back to the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan and said with a smile, "Let's go, senior brothers. Let's find the next Eye of Creation!"
"Right, let's get moving! Haha, this is not a bad start!" they laughed heartily and then, along with Ye Chen, they flitted through the waters and once again set off!
...
As Ye Chen obtained the first "Eye of Creation" from the fifteenth floor, following Jiang Yao's acquisition of the first one on the sixth floor, it was the second "Eye of Creation" found in the entire Undersea Divine Palace at that time.
On the thirty-third floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, where the Nine Female Divine Venerables, Mrs. He, and Jiang Yao were located in that mysterious void domain, all nine Female Divine Venerables nodded involuntarily.
"This young man is so skilled, he found the Eye of Creation so quickly!"
They were in charge of overseeing the entire purge of the lower planes, so events inside the Undersea Divine Palace could not escape their eyes.
After discovering earlier that Ye Chen had helped the "Rock Giant Divine King" break the "Creation Chess Board," they knew Ye Chen had received clues to the "Eye of Creation" on the fifteenth floor.
At that time, the nine Female Divine Venerables wondered how quickly Ye Chen, with the clue, could find the "Eye of Creation."
They did not expect Ye Chen to obtain one so swiftly.
```
```
The nine Female Divine Venerables were also full of admiration for Ye Chen.
As they waited for Jiang Yao to cultivate, they became increasingly interested in observing Ye Chen.
...
The nine Female Divine Venerables could see Ye Chen's actions.
However, people from other realms, whether they were Martial Artists taken into the Undersea Divine Palace or the lifeforms of exiled clans, did not possess such great divine powers.
But, after Ye Chen had acquired the first Eye of Creation on the fifteenth level, just as Jiang Yao had on the sixth, a heaven-shaking voice thundered through the Undersea Divine Palace, echoing across each level where the Martial Artists were.
"The second Eye of Creation has been acquired by a Martial Artist."
"In the Undersea Divine Palace, thirty-one more 'Eyes of Creation' remain!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Divine King of the rock giants on the fourteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace stood up with excitement in his divine eyes, "Ye Chen, the young friend... he's succeeded on the fifteenth level!"
The Divine King of the rock giants had given Ye Chen a clue and defended the fourteenth level; knowing that only Ye Chen had entered the fifteenth level, it was clear to him who had acquired the Eye of Creation there!
"With this Eye of Creation, young friend Ye Chen will be able to escape the killing of this great purge catastrophe!"
"Haha, my clan has also escaped the fate of exile. It seems that I and young friend Ye Chen will have the opportunity to meet again outside the Undersea Divine Palace!"
The Divine King of the rock giants was extremely excited about Ye Chen's acquisition.
Meanwhile, many people still struggling through the "Slaughter Chess Game" on the fourteenth level and trapped by the thirty-second tier of rock warrior guards directly changed their expressions.
The elder of the Flying Spirit Clan couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "The second Eye of Creation, that's from the fifteenth level! Who could have passed the fourteenth level's Slaughter Chess Game before me and already entered the fifteenth level!"
For some reason, the image of the rock giant Divine King watching his challenges in the Slaughter Chess Game alongside Ye Chen suddenly surfaced in the elder's mind.
An incredible thought instantly swept through the elder of the Flying Spirit Clan's mind, "Could it be that Ye Chen is the one who has broken into the fifteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace and obtained the second 'Eye of Creation'?!"
...
As the elder of the Flying Spirit Clan was exclaiming, the elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan, similarly trapped in another folded space within the Slaughter Chess Game, stood up incredulously as well.
He too roared out, "Who has taken the 'Eye of Creation'?!"
The elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan's heart was racing.
He had reached the fourteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace without acquiring a single Eye of Creation. As time passed, the moment of destruction during the great purge drew nearer.
Without finding an "Eye of Creation," even as a Nine Tribulations True God, his death was certain!
At this time, he was still trapped in the "Slaughter Chess Game" on the fourteenth level.
How could the elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan remain calm, how could he not seem mad with frenzy?!
...
"The Eyes of Creation in the fifteenth level have also begun to be acquired," noted the ancient emperors of the Yan Clan, True Phoenix, Mu Lan True God, and countless True Gods, who were also trapped in different folded spaces of the "Slaughter Chess Game," all of whom were shaken.
They involuntarily stopped their trials and looked up at the sky of the Slaughter Chess Game.
...
It wasn't just the fourteenth level that was greatly shaken.
The True Gods and Heavenly Saints in other levels of the Undersea Divine Palace also looked up at the sky, their expressions filled with immense envy and worry.
They envied the individual who had acquired the Eye of Creation, for they now had the means to escape the catastrophe of the great purge.
But they were worried about their own fate, what to do with themselves.
...
As Ye Chen acquired the second Eye of Creation, which was also the first Eye of Creation in the fifteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace, all Martial Artists except Jiang Yao, who was immersed in mysterious cultivation, were deeply shaken.
Then, something even more shocking happened that caused the elder of the Flying Spirit Clan and the elder of the Vermilion Bird Clan to turn completely pale with horror and fall to the ground.
Not long after, everyone heard another voice that reached the ears of all, "The third Eye of Creation has been acquired by a Martial Artist. In the Undersea Divine Palace, thirty 'Eyes of Creation' remain!"
It wasn't just that voice—subsequently, more and more voices rang out.
"The fourth Eye of Creation has been acquired by a Martial Artist..."
"The fifth Eye of Creation has been acquired by a Martial Artist..."
When the voice indicated that the ninth Eye of Creation had been acquired by a Martial Artist, all knew that, following the single Eye of Creation taken from the Undersea Divine Palace's sixth level, the eight Eyes of Creation in the fifteenth level had all found their masters.
And with these successive announcements occurring nearly on the same day, countless Martial Artists had the premonition that all eight Eyes of Creation on the fifteenth level might have ended up in the hands of one person!
...
At this moment, the eight Eyes of Creation that many speculated about were indeed all in Ye Chen's hands.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen, holding the eight spectacularly divine "Eyes of Creation" purple-red crystals, was staring in shock at the vast expanse of sea before him.
It wasn't only Ye Chen; the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan by his side were also looking at the sea ahead with astonishment.
And looking forward, they saw amidst the raging waves a colossal sea monster rising from the water, revealing its form in front of Ye Chen and the three brothers of the Panpoluo Clan.
