Chat Group: People in Douluo Continent wreak havoc across the heavens

Chapter 121 Ye Hei, Your Time Is Running Out [Please Subscribe]

After the chaotic mist dissipated, the surrounding space seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation. Lu Xian found himself no longer in his original position, and two portals appeared in front of him.

There were more than a dozen skeletons lying around, their bones still gleaming and showing no signs of crumbling into powder. These people were undoubtedly powerful in life, even stronger than the skeletons seen before.

Ye Fan walked to a skeleton, hooked his finger and tapped it lightly. The skeleton emitted a series of clanging sounds, as solid as metal and stone. The long years had passed, but it had not been completely worn away and remained incredibly solid to this day. Ye Fan was very shocked by this.

Lu Xian, carrying the little girl, stepped forward and said, "Those in the silkworm membranes outside the Bronze Immortal Palace should all be powerful figures below the second level of Immortal. They became cannon fodder in the attempt to break into the Bronze Immortal Palace. The skeletons we encountered when we first entered the palace must have been Kings who had severed their Dao and some Sages. They went even further, and I guess those who made it this far probably reached the level of Saint King in their lifetime!"

Ye Fan was impressed but didn't understand. He had been cultivating for so long, but he still didn't really understand the different levels of cultivation. Not counting the Empress, the Saint Lord level was already the top level in his mind. As for Saints and such, they were beyond his understanding. He really couldn't comprehend what kind of existence Lu Xian was talking about.

Compared to Ye Fan, who was a self-taught amateur, Yao Xi appeared to be very knowledgeable. She knew a little about everything, and upon hearing Lu Xian's speculation, her mind remained numb.

It has been so long since the Big Dipper has produced a new saint. Such peerless powerhouses are all living fossils of the foundation of various aristocratic families and great sects, not to mention the saint kings above them!

So many unparalleled powerhouses pursued the secrets to immortality, yet they all perished here. If she hadn't come with Lu Xian and the others, she probably wouldn't have had the right to enter the Bronze Immortal Palace and witness its mysteries.

"Keep moving forward, don't waste time disturbing their slumber." Seeing that Ye Fan actually wanted to put away the bones, Lu Xian kicked him in the butt to stop him, and carried the little girl towards the portal that appeared in front of them.

"What a waste. These bones are so hard; they could probably be used to forge powerful spirit weapons, or even sold as resources..."

Ye Fan muttered to himself, "Cultivation resources are so scarce. Lu Xian isn't worried, but I am. I want to break through my cultivation level as soon as possible and go home. Resources are really scarce."

After hesitating for a moment, he looked up and saw Yao Xi following Lu Xian's footsteps slowly away. When he was left alone, the dim environment inside the bronze hall made Ye Fan feel a chill down his spine.

"Brother Lu, wait for me..." Ye Fan quickly caught up with him.

The group arrived at two gates directly in front of them. These two gates looked like the yin and yang fish in Tai Chi. The gate on the left was a black yin fish, and the gate on the right was a white yang fish. Both of them were irregular crescent shapes.

The black yang fish has a powerful and profound character for "death" written on it, while the white yang fish has a majestic and peaceful character for "life" written on it.

"One yin and one yang, one life and one death, it seems to be a Taoist approach." Ye Fan said, stroking his chin in thought. While he was still considering which gate to choose, Lu Xian had already waved his hand casually, and the two gates opened almost simultaneously with a whoosh of energy.

Suddenly, a sound like a tsunami came from behind the portal. Dark light shone like an abyss from the Yin fish portal, while white light shimmered from the Yang fish portal. Black and white were in opposition, life and death alternated, and the Yin and Yang energies swept out like a vast ocean, converging together and obliterating everything. This collision was extremely terrifying. The dozen or so skeletons outside the portal all died under this terrifying Yin and Yang energy.

Ye Fan and Yao Xi's expressions changed simultaneously. They stepped forward to shield Lu Xian in front of them. Just as the Yin and Yang energies surged forth, about to engulf them all, the little girl, who had been quietly lost in thought, raised her eyelids. In an instant, everything in front of her calmed down, revealing a wide, desolate, and endless ancient road.

Indeed, with the Great Emperor in his arms, there is no place Beidou cannot go!

Don't panic when something happens, just pull out the Emperor and fight it!

"You bastards, you're pretty good at hiding, aren't you?"

At this moment, Lu Xian turned around with a half-smile, meeting the awkward gazes of the two people behind him.

"It's one thing for Yao Xi to be afraid, but Ye Hei, tell me what you're afraid of? Coming to the Bronze Immortal Palace is like coming home, isn't it?"

"Our Empress is a woman of unparalleled beauty, with a face that can move mountains and rivers, skin as white as ice and bones as jade... Her beauty surpasses all others, and everyone loves her... With her peerless grace and charm, tell me, where in this world can't you go?"

Lu Xian rattled off dozens of idioms praising people, lecturing Ye Fan with a look of exasperation. This shower of compliments made everyone present twitch at the corners of their mouths, and even a black line appeared on Xiao Nannan's forehead.

Wow, you're such a great photographer!

"Brother Lu, you're right!" Ye Fan was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and eagerly extended his hand, saying, "Brother Lu, you've been holding Nannan for so long, your arms must be sore and you must be tired, right? How about I take over..."

"Not sour, not tired at all. We're like family, you don't need to be so polite with me!"

After Lu Xian finished speaking, he turned and left with the little girl in his arms. Ye Fan, who had just raised his hands, froze in place as if he had been frozen in place...

"Da~Da~Da~"

The sound of a few footsteps echoed on the ancient road, which seemed to have been untouched for tens of thousands of years, extremely quiet, and had now welcomed a new batch of pioneers.

Ye Fan and Yao Xi trailed a few steps behind Lu Xian, one on each side. The three of them walked slowly, occasionally glancing around. It seemed that this copper road had no end. Half an hour had passed, and the surroundings were still empty. Ahead was only a dark mist. After a distance of more than ten meters, the view was swallowed up by a mysterious mist, and they could not see very far.

After walking for a long time, the place felt too oppressive, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Ye Fan started looking for topics to talk about:

"Brother Lu, throughout history, there must have been quite a few powerful emperors, right?"

"Why are you asking that?"

"I'm just a little curious, are all emperors as illustrious, unparalleled, and exceptionally talented as the Empress?"

Ye Fan also started showering him with compliments. If even a reckless fool like Lu Gou is being flattered, then it can't hurt to flatter him too.

What are you thinking about?

Lu Xian glanced sideways: "The Empress is one of a kind, unique in all of history. As far as I know, until the era of the Extinction of Spirits countless years later, no one has been able to surpass her talent. Truly, she is unprecedented and unparalleled!"

"I see. It seems that even among the Great Emperors, the Empress is the most outstanding one, leading the way and truly serving as a role model for us all!" Ye Fan nodded with admiration.

Little girl: ……

That's enough, stop bragging, I can't listen to this anymore!

Lu Xian nodded in agreement with Ye Fan's words: "What you said is actually not wrong. However, if we look back over the years, we can still find a few emperors whose battle achievements can barely be compared with the Empress."

"Oh? Who are they?" Ye Fan asked, intrigued.

Have you heard of the first Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Great Emperor Wushi?

"without……"

Ye Fan shook his head. He was indeed a bit inexperienced and hadn't seen much of the world.

"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land can only be a woman. Isn't Emperor Wushi a man?" Yao Xi, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but interrupt. How could you slander Emperor Wushi like that?

"Can't a man be a saint?"

Lu Xian said solemnly, "The Great Emperor Wushi spent his entire life with his back to all living beings. Do you know why he never showed his face? It's because he once served as the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi while dressed as a woman. After becoming emperor, he didn't want others to discover that he looked exactly like the portrait of the first Holy Maiden circulating in the Yaochi Holy Land, so he always kept his back to all living beings!"

"Good heavens, it's actually the Emperor in drag!"

Unlike Yao Xi's skepticism, Ye Fan always believed in what Lu Xian said without a doubt. After all, Lu Xian knew everything. At this moment, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up. So even the Great Emperor had such a bizarre dark history?

"Brother Lu, are there any other emperors with such a shocking dark history?"

It's human nature to gossip, and Ye Fan was in high spirits. Yao Xi was also starting to feel a little insecure. Could things really be as Lu Xian said?

"Of course!"

Lu Xian thought for a moment: "As far as I know, when the Emperor and the Heavenly Venerable of Nirvana saw the Great Emperor Wushi dressed as a woman, they were amazed by his beauty and coveted his hook. The two rivals fought fiercely because of this. In the end, the Emperor suppressed the Heavenly Venerable of Nirvana on the Flying Immortal Star and won the right to choose a spouse. Then, Wushi fled to protect his hook, and the Emperor, coveting his hook, gave chase. He fled and he chased, but he couldn't escape. The two eventually stumbled into a narrow crevice on the path to immortality, where the Emperor finally blocked Wushi's path. The two of them are still living a shameless life in that crevice to this day..."

The Immortal Emperor: Who stole my script?

The other three: ? ? ?

Lu Xian got more and more excited as he spoke: "Actually, those few are nothing compared to the most powerful one, which has to be Emperor Hengyu. Of all the emperors, I admire Emperor Hengyu the most. Back when he was at the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, he forged a Quasi-Emperor weapon called the Goddess Furnace. It is said that he took three thousand goddesses from the Ziwei Star into the furnace, and in one night he had sex with three thousand women, directly comprehending the mysteries of the Great Dao, breaking through his cultivation barrier and stepping into the Supreme Emperor realm!"

The three people: ...

Okay, you can shut up now. Why are you getting so carried away?

Ye Fan's lips twitched slightly: "Brother Lu, I think we should talk about the serious matters of the Great Emperors. There have been so many brilliant and talented Great Emperors throughout history, praised by everyone. Haven't there been any Great Emperors who committed evil deeds after becoming emperors?"

Lu Xian's expression turned serious: "Speaking of this, Ye Hei, your time is running out. You probably only have about 200 years left."

"What?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ye Fan was shocked: "I can only live for 200 years?"

Seriously, buddy? Am I a cultivator?

Could he have died so young?

Lu Xian rolled his eyes and said, "That's not what I meant by the Dark Turmoil!"

"Dark turmoil?"

Ye Fan was puzzled. "I've never heard of this thing before. What does it have to do with me being only 200 years old?"

"Yes, the Dark Turmoil! Do you know about the Forbidden Zone?"

Lu Xian asked a question, thinking that with Ye Fan's experience, he probably didn't know either.

"Alright, you're probably a half-baked monk and haven't heard of this. Let me tell you. Anyone who can reach the Great Emperor realm is an unparalleled genius, unmatched in the world. In the ancient Immortal Era, this realm would easily grant immortality, let alone ten thousand years, even a hundred thousand. But the world today was once shattered, created by a stupid idiot drinking milk from the Desolate Beast. It was later repaired, and the substances for longevity are extremely scarce. Even a Great Emperor can only live for ten thousand years. Some Great Emperors, in their pursuit of immortality... have begun to act like humans!"

At this point, Lu Xian said in a deep voice:

"Those bastards can no longer be called emperors. They severed themselves, sealing themselves in various forbidden zones, awaiting the opening of the path to immortality, hoping to step into the immortal realm and attain eternal life. During this long period of waiting, some bastards, nearing the end of their lifespan, will emerge to devour the blood and flesh of living beings to replenish their own lifespan. At that time, countless beings from life-bearing planets will be devoured, and this is the origin of the Dark Turmoil!"

"How could such a beast exist?"

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Fan scratched his head in confusion: "But what does that have to do with me only having 200 years?"

Lu Xian glanced at him sideways: "More than 200 years later, the Dark Turmoil will begin, and the first Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone will emerge to cause trouble."

He patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Huang was born to face the calamity of his era, while you are born to face the calamity of your era. You are destined to embark on the path of pacifying all forbidden zones. There may be nearly a hundred old immortal supreme beings hiding in the forbidden zones. They will all need you, the all-powerful Emperor Ye, to sweep them all away in the future."

Ye Fan: ?

"so……"

Ye Fan clicked his tongue: "Brother Lu, do you mean that 200 years from now, I'll need to fight a hundred Great Emperors?"

"More or less!" Lu Xian smiled and nodded.

"Will I have any help?" Ye Fan smiled happily.

"It will happen!" Lu Xian patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.

"for example?"

"For example, the first Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool Holy Land, the Great Emperor Wushi, will help you hold off your most troublesome opponent!"

Ye Fan smiled: "I know, he used a hook to help me lure the Emperor, am I right?"

Lu Xian gave a thumbs up in surprise: "As expected of you, you can even apply what you've learned to other situations! You have great comprehension!"

Ye Fan's expression changed: "Damn it—"

Yao Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly as he watched the two joking around. He had been trying to gather and organize information from their conversation, but the information was hard to distinguish between true and false, and it was both overwhelming and explosive.

I can't tell them apart, I really can't tell them apart!

Another half hour passed.

The group finally reached the end of the road, where they found a spacious hall, still cast in bronze. The interior was chaotic and misty, with yin and yang energies flowing within. Several gleaming white skeletons lay on the ground, some lying down and some sprawling.

A huge character "仙" (immortal) was engraved on the bronze wall in front of it. This character was written in blood and deeply imprinted into the bronze. This blood was obviously extraordinary. It is unknown how many tens of thousands of years have passed. The flesh and blood of all the powerful beings have turned to ashes, and only a few peerless powerhouses have left behind their bones.

Here, the blood on the character "仙" (immortal) is still bright red and dripping, showing no signs of drying. The brilliant blood light shines out in all directions, as if it is still flowing. It is hard to imagine what kind of person left this blood-written character.

"What eerie characters! This must be the blood of an unparalleled expert!" Ye Fan stared silently at the character "Immortal" on the bronze wall, a thought forming in his mind. Brother Lu said this place was like his own home; whatever happened, the Empress would protect him. So…

"This blood must contain unimaginable, boundless essence. If one were to lick a drop and refine it, it might even cause one's cultivation to skyrocket!" Ye Fan speculated.

!! ?

Yao Xi looked at him in shock.

No, are you so desperate for food that you'll eat anything?

This thing looks really sinister. Doesn't it have any fear of death at all?

Lu Xian was also a bit dumbfounded. Good heavens, Ye Hei, we may be poor, but we're not that bad!

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xian took off the little girl's shoes and picked up her fair and tender feet to examine them.

The little girl frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Let me see if there's any skin on my feet that's about to peel off. Ye Hei eating skin on feet is better than licking blood, and it's a safe and painless way to level up..."
