**Chapter 54528: The Mysterious Stone Tablet**

"Rumble..."

The grand formation operated, its roaring sound shaking the heavens. Powerful energy fluctuations, like a tsunami, swept in all directions. Everyone watched in terror, fearing they would be caught in the blast. Ye Chen, however, stood calmly at the center of the formation. With his right hand forming a seal, his left hand continuously cast runes, reinforcing the formation.

"Boom..."

The formation's power grew increasingly strong. Finally, a massive pillar of light shot into the sky, directly tearing open the entire void. Within the light pillar, an ancient stone tablet was faintly visible, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura. The tablet was engraved with dense runes, each containing immense power.

"What is this thing?""Such a terrifying aura, I feel my soul trembling!""This aura... it seems like the legendary Divine Tablet!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, their faces filled with shock.

Ye Chen's gaze fell upon the stone tablet, his eyes gleaming. He felt a certain connection between this stone tablet and the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword. The Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword was Ye Chen's innate spiritual artifact, and he could feel it resonating slightly with the stone tablet.

"Could this stone tablet be where the spirit of the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword resides?" Ye Chen wondered to himself.

With a thought, the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword instantly flew out of his body, transforming into a streak of light that shot directly towards the stone tablet.

"Buzz..."

As the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword landed on the stone tablet, it emitted a hum. Immediately afterward, all the runes on the stone tablet lit up, emitting a dazzling light. From within the light, a translucent figure slowly condensed. The figure wore a black robe, its face unclear, but it exuded a powerful aura.

"Master!" the translucent figure respectfully called out to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's heart stirred; it was as he suspected! This stone tablet truly was the abode of the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword's spirit.

"Are you the spirit of the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, Master," the translucent figure replied.

"What is your name?" Ye Chen continued.

"I have no name, Master. If you don't mind, you may bestow one upon me," the translucent figure said.

Ye Chen frowned slightly at this, then pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case, you shall be called Desolate Heaven."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing a name!" Desolate Heaven said respectfully. Then, his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that directly merged into the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword.

With its spirit restored, the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword's power greatly increased. Runes flowed across its blade, emitting an even more terrifying aura. Ye Chen held the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword, feeling the speed of spiritual energy circulation within his body accelerate significantly.

"Desolate Heaven, do you know how to repair the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword?" Ye Chen asked.

"Reporting to Master, the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword is an ancient divine artifact. To repair it, a large amount of divine stones and various rare materials are required," Desolate Heaven replied.

"Divine stones? Rare materials?" Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this. It seemed repairing the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword would not be an easy task. However, Ye Chen did not lose heart. He believed that with enough effort, he would one day be able to repair it.

"Master, the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword holds another secret I must tell you," Desolate Heaven suddenly added.

"What secret?" Ye Chen asked.

"The Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword is a divine artifact from the ancient battlefield, and it contains a map of the ancient battlefield," Desolate Heaven answered.

"Map of the ancient battlefield?" A hint of shock flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. The ancient battlefield was a place where gods and demons warred in ancient times, containing countless opportunities and treasures. If he could obtain the map of the ancient battlefield, he could go there and seek out these opportunities and treasures.

"Desolate Heaven, can you manifest the map of the ancient battlefield?" Ye Chen asked.

"Reporting to Master, I can only manifest a partial map. The complete map can only be revealed when the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword reaches its peak state," Desolate Heaven replied.

Ye Chen nodded upon hearing this. It seemed that to obtain the complete map of the ancient battlefield, he would need to find a way to enhance the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword's grade.

"In that case, show me the partial map first," Ye Chen said.

"Yes, Master," Desolate Heaven responded. Immediately, a light screen appeared on the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword, its light flickering. Within the light screen, an ancient map emerged, with various locations marked on it.

Ye Chen's gaze lingered on the map, his eyes gleaming. He felt that these locations all contained powerful auras, clearly not ordinary places.

"Desolate Heaven, what are these locations?" Ye Chen asked.

"Reporting to Master, these locations are important ruins within the ancient battlefield, containing a large number of opportunities and treasures," Desolate Heaven replied.

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He had been worrying about where to find opportunities and treasures, and he never expected the Desolate Demon Heavenly Sword to hide such a secret.

"In that case, let's head to these ruins," Ye Chen said.

"Yes, Master," Desolate Heaven responded.

At this moment, outside, the great formation's roar was still deafening. Everyone saw a massive pillar of light shoot into the sky, directly tearing open the entire void. Within the light pillar, an ancient stone tablet was faintly visible, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

Everyone discussed animatedly, their faces filled with shock.

"What is this stone tablet?""Such a terrifying aura, I feel my soul trembling!""This aura... it seems like the legendary Divine Tablet!""Could it be the legendary Divine Demon Tablet?""The Divine Demon Tablet! That was used in ancient times, after the war between gods and demons, to suppress the resentful spirits of gods and demons!""I never expected the Divine Demon Tablet to appear here!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, their faces filled with shock. They never imagined that the legendary Divine Demon Tablet would appear here.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already taken Desolate Heaven inside the stone tablet.

The interior of the stone tablet was an independent void, vast and boundless, with no end in sight. Countless meteorites floated within the void, emitting powerful auras. In the center of the void, a massive palace hovered, with a lifelike giant dragon carved upon it.

"Where is this?" Ye Chen asked.

"Reporting to Master, this is the core area of the ancient battlefield, and also the inner space of the Divine Demon Tablet," Desolate Heaven replied.

"The inner space of the Divine Demon Tablet?" A hint of shock flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He never imagined that the Divine Demon Tablet's inner space would be so vast.

"Master, the Divine Demon Tablet is an ancient divine artifact, containing countless opportunities and treasures," Desolate Heaven said.

Ye Chen's heart stirred, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He had been worrying about where to find opportunities and treasures, and he never expected the Divine Demon Tablet to hide such a secret.

"In that case, let's head to the palace," Ye Chen said.

"Yes, Master," Desolate Heaven responded.
