He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

With everything behind them shrouded in mist and only two gates ahead, the two could only choose one to proceed.

Ye Fan pondered silently. Even though Zhou Qing was by his side and was a powerful cultivator, he did not give up his own thoughts.

After some thought, he stared at the two doors for a long time, and finally said, "I feel that this is the real way out!"

His finger pointed to the Death Gate. Zhou Qing didn't say anything and walked directly towards the Death Gate.

Seeing this, Ye Fan was shocked. He had hesitated, but he had only mentioned it to Zhou Qing as a reference. He did not expect Zhou Qing to walk in so directly.

Finally, he quickly caught up with Zhou Qing and strode forward.

boom!

The Gate of Life and the Gate of Death underwent changes together. The Gate of Death emitted a jet-black light, while the Gate of Life emitted a sacred and peaceful light. They complemented each other, and the Yin and Yang energies circulated, evolving into Tai Chi, as if returning to the origin of heaven and earth.

Zhou Qing's sac emitted an incomparably brilliant light, and the Yin and Yang energies manifested, transforming into a Tai Chi diagram.

In an instant, a strange collision occurred between the two Daos, and traces of Dao spread like ripples on water. The two Yin-Yang diagrams seemed to enter the same rhythm, even rotating at the same speed.

After a series of transformations, the two yin-yang diagrams disappeared together, and the Gate of Life and Death returned to its original simplicity.

These two gates are not as terrifying as I imagined; at least for now, they are not that scary.

With Nangong Zheng and a dozen other powerful figures, they could carve out a path by relying on their absolute strength.

Although Zhou Qing did not use absolute strength to open the path, he achieved the same effect through other means. He used his Dao-proving artifact to stabilize the chaos sword light, and its effect in this regard was ridiculously good, making it very suitable.

He didn't force his way into the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram. Instead, he relied on the evolution of his own Sea of ​​Wheels to use the Yin-Yang Diagram against the Yin-Yang Diagram, causing them to resonate. By slowly closing his own Yin-Yang Diagram, he caused the other side of the resonance to undergo the same change. This was a method of using skill to overcome force.

This method is very clever, but not everyone can do it; it requires an extremely high level of understanding of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm.

The imagery of the Death Gate is terrifying, bloody, like a hellish landscape, where one can see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, endless skeletons.

After Ye Fan caught up with Zhou Qing, the two pushed open the Death Gate and walked for half an hour on the empty road before arriving at another bronze hall.

Inside, chaos and mist swirled, with the energies of Yin and Yang circulating. On the ground lay several gleaming white skeletons, and on the bronze wall at the very front, the character "仙" (immortal) was engraved in blood, its crimson color radiating light and dripping with freshness, not a trace of dryness remaining.

Once here, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all that remains is for the Gate of All Wonders to open, and the other passage that was breached next to it will also become visible.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to leave the Bronze Immortal Palace smoothly.

Although there are some things inside the Gate of All Wonders, Zhou Qing doesn't need them. He just needs to wait for another passage to appear so he can go straight out.

Chapter 154 Petals

"Is this really immortal blood?" Ye Fan asked doubtfully.

"No, this is imperial blood, but it has lost its killing intent and most of its divine power. Otherwise, you and I would have died in front of this word long ago."

Zhou Qing's eyes shone brightly as he peered through the imperial blood on the bronze wall, sensing the laws and principles contained within.

This word inherently carries the meaning of a divine incantation, which can make people unconsciously move forward in a trance until they finally touch this word "immortal" and vanish into nothingness.

It is incredibly dangerous; even if Zhou Qing touched it, he would be unable to resist it. However, it is undeniable that it contains profound and ineffable principles of cultivation.

The reason why the ruthless man carved the character "immortal" here with his own imperial blood is now impossible to find out.

But you have to understand that when you reach the level of an emperor, even a few casual marks can lead to enlightenment, let alone this character "仙" (immortal) that was clearly written with great care.

Inside the main hall, chaos surged and yin and yang energies circulated, and the radiant character "仙" (immortal) exuded an indescribable charm.

"Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth. Formless and shapeless, it comes from nothingness, continuous and unbroken, like a wisp of silk, without a trace, never decaying, the origin of heaven and earth, the root of the Tao."

A profound and ethereal sound of the Great Dao echoed in the hall, enticing people to move forward, to explore the root of heaven and earth, and to open the gate to all wonders.

Ye Fan was in a daze, feeling that the scene ahead was gradually becoming hazy, like a dream, as if the world was desolate and then flourishing again, evolving and dying.

His face was very devout, as if he had received a supreme call, and he took a step forward slowly.

In his eyes, it was as if a bright lamp was hanging high above, radiating endless divine charm, guiding him forward. The heavenly sounds and profound truths, the endless methods, appeared before his eyes, and a divine path of light was laid out beneath his feet.

This is only a small part of the strange phenomenon. The word "immortal" contains far too many profound principles. The reason it has the flavor of the Divine Transcendence Technique is, to be honest, not because a ruthless person deliberately set a trap or anything.

It's simply because this word is so profound. If one lacks the ability, how can a snake swallow an elephant? If one's understanding of the Dao is insufficient, once one begins to comprehend it, one will naturally become trapped in the profound Dao of Heaven and Earth, unable to extricate oneself.

At this moment, in Ye Fan's eyes, holy springs gushed from the earth, golden lotuses descended from the sky, phoenixes danced in the air, thousands of auspicious rays shone, and countless divine rainbows appeared, displaying a variety of colors and illuminating the sky with various auspicious signs.

"boom"

Suddenly, he felt someone pressing down on his shoulder, and he snapped back to reality. The surroundings became hazy, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.

He broke out in a cold sweat, vaguely feeling that he was walking the road to hell and almost dying.

He turned around and saw Zhou Qing staring intently at the character "仙" (immortal), his eyes seemingly containing an endless star field, with glimpses of stars disappearing and reflecting countless strange phenomena of heaven and earth.

Zhou Qing's inner spirit radiates an incomparably brilliant light, and the Dao and I are one, enabling him to maintain his true self.

"Mysterious beyond mystery, the innate energy varies in thickness, thus giving rise to sages and virtuous men..."

A vague, ethereal fluctuation resounded within the bronze hall. It was neither sound nor divine sense, but rather a mysterious aura flowing through it.

After a moment, Zhou Qing sighed, "Immortal, why did you write such a word?"

Is it to become an immortal? Obviously not.

Because ruthless people don't strive to become immortals.

Does it mean they disdain becoming immortals? Obviously not. Not aspiring to immortality doesn't mean they disdain it.

"At the critical moment of life and death, risking one's life for a desperate gamble? Such bloody words, is it because one is willing to give everything to live another life and experience the mortal world?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

"Lord God, a portal has appeared ahead!" Ye Fan suddenly spoke, drawing Zhou Qing's attention to the nine-meter-tall character "Immortal".

An even more profound and obscure wave came, the character "仙" vibrated, and then naturally split into two halves, revealing four ancient characters on the door: Gate of All Wonders!

A myriad of wondrous and divine sounds emanated from the door, inviting one to explore its endless wonders.

A wisp of Dao energy flowed around Zhou Qing, passing through his left hand to Ye Fan, keeping Ye Fan clear-headed and unaffected.

Right after the Gate of All Wonders appeared, next to the character "Immortal," chaos surged, but it was very unbalanced and kept collapsing.

This is another passage; the fishy smell of the lake water wafts through from here, and you can faintly smell it.

Once you get through here, you can leave the Bronze Immortal Palace.

"Let's go, we'll get outside through this passage."

Zhou Qing moved forward step by step, getting closer and closer to the Gate of All Wonders, but his goal was not the Gate of All Wonders, but the small door next to it.

The heavenly sound resonated, the wondrous gate appeared, and the ethereal Great Dao permeated people's hearts.

Zhou Qing could hear that it contained passages of ancient scriptures, which were indeed very attractive, but he still resolutely walked towards the small door next to him.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

"God Lord?" Ye Fan looked at Zhou Qing in confusion, not understanding why he had stopped.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's expression changed dramatically, sometimes frowning, sometimes longing, sometimes irritable, and sometimes joyful.

"The aura inside the door"

As if stimulated by something, wisps of the Great Dao Qi overflowed from his body, initially flowing slowly like a spring, then cascading like a waterfall, and finally becoming a mighty river.

In an instant, Ye Fan was in a daze, immersed in the infinite Dao, comprehending the endless principles of heaven and earth.

"What does this mean? How could there possibly be such a rare treasure here?"

Zhou Qing looked at the Gate of Myriad Wonders. He didn't understand. There couldn't possibly be anything else inside besides the blood and corpse of the Ruthless Great Emperor. Even the True Dragon Immortal Elixir had already flown away. There shouldn't be any other immortal treasures.

But he sensed an aura, as if the Great Dao had materialized into a tangible entity, as if all Daos had merged into one. It was an indescribable, magnificent feeling, a boundless and powerful force that appeared in his heart.

"Is this really going to force me into the Gate of All Wonders?" Zhou Qing felt a headache coming on. He didn't want to get too involved with the ruthless person, but he was now somewhat out of control of the situation.

He couldn't give up that thing within the Gate of All Wonders.

He was about to face the severance of his Dao, and if he obtained that thing, it would be enough to shorten the time it would take for him to sever his Dao by 80%!

Moreover, the benefits went beyond that. He could feel that the thing was too important to him, and he couldn't even take another step outside.

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. Although there was no coercion involved, the moment he sensed that aura, he...

He realized that he couldn't just leave.

"Alright, I'll go see what's left here."

Zhou Qing calmed down, and the aura of the Great Dao around him returned to normal, but Ye Fan's expression was still dazed, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Zhou Qing walked to the passage next to him and left Ye Fan in the passage, where they would not be affected by the Heavenly Sound of the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

Then, he looked at the door and slowly walked in.

boom!

An overwhelming killing intent swept over us, as if there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and endless skeletons ahead.

Zhou Qing's body seemed to be about to shatter, almost turning into dust. At that moment, a peerless pure land unfolded from his body, separating him from all killing intent. Infinite holy light flowed out, circling around him, making him look like a god.

This is a mysterious world, and in the very center there is a pool of bright red blood, exactly the same as the blood in the character "仙" (immortal), without any difference.

In addition, there were some scattered pieces of corpses, though not many. It was the energy emitted by them that almost caused Zhou Qing's body to collapse.

“The remains of the Ruthless Great Emperor,” Zhou Qing murmured.

These body parts had clearly been disposed of; otherwise, how could a powerful being have survived?

Looking at it this way, it's really no wonder that Nangong Zhengxian II wanted to strive for a lifetime of immortality. Perhaps in his view, although there was a gap between him and the Great Emperor, it wasn't that big.

A single drop of a saint's blood can kill a powerful being; a quasi-emperor's blood can shatter the physical body of a Dao-slaying level cultivator from more than a mile away; the blood of an emperor would be even more terrifying.

But now the ruthless man's corpse is right in front of them. Although the killing intent emanating from it is terrifying, it is possible for some peerless experts to withstand it.

Given this performance, it can only be said that much of the murderous intent has been washed away.

In this world, there are also ghost face marks, seemingly crying but not crying, seemingly laughing but not laughing, with sunshine in sorrow, incredibly vivid, transcending the ancient past and reaching the heart.

Nearby, there are still some traces of the True Dragon Immortal Medicine being planted.

But Zhou Qing's gaze was drawn to a petal in the air.

It was incredibly dazzling, with ever-changing shapes. Yin and Yang, Bagua, Taiji, and the phantom of immortals—all sorts of great Dao flowed from his body, then converged together, condensing into the final "One".

"Could this be a petal from the Harmony Flower?" Zhou Qing's expression changed, somewhat incredulous; this was truly beyond his expectations.

"This thing shouldn't be here."

Zhou Qing now desperately wished he were a clueless native, so he could just take it without a second thought, and what could a dead, ruthless person do to him?
