Chapter 1 Ancient God Mountains

The sounds of battle shook the heavens. In this fight, the flesh and blood of all those who died, be they human or beast, vanished without a trace.

It was eerie and terrifying.

At the same time, subtle changes appeared within the Ancient God Palace in the sky. The originally sacred and magnificent gold was tainted with a hint of vivid, bloody color.

The power of Heavenly怨 (Tian Yuan – Heavenly Grievance) continued to surge forth, almost solidifying into a tangible miasma, engulfing everything.

Enshrouded by the power of Tian Yuan, everyone felt uneasy, filled with fear, terror, death, and other emotions.

The ferocious beasts, however, were unaffected. They were already like lifeless objects, unafraid of death, and thrived in this environment.

People continued to die.

And once someone became demonic, those nearby would show no mercy, killing them immediately.

In the current situation, there was simply no way, no time to save anyone.

Most people were barely able to save themselves, and were not charitable saints. With no familial ties or connections, how could they possibly sacrifice themselves to help others?

Better to let a fellow Daoist die than myself.

"I am not willing!"

A middle-aged man with disheveled hair, covered in blood, his eyes tinged with scarlet, unleashed the power of a Da Luo, the aura soaring into the sky. Various world phenomena manifested around him, transforming into an ultimate killing move that slammed into the light screen barrier with unparalleled force.

He was about to become demonic and could not stay any longer, or he would surely die. He wanted to break out.

But all his attacks, when they struck the light screen, were like sinking into the sea, unable to shake it even slightly, and he could only roar in despair.

This situation occurred repeatedly, causing countless people to despair.

Despair that they had not yet seen where the hope lay.

This despair caused people to lose their minds, and the power of Tian Yuan would then surge forth to invade them.

"The Ancient God Mountains are listed as one of the seven forbidden zones, already extremely dangerous. Now that they have been resurrected, how could it be simple? It will only be more dangerous. No matter how graceful and unparalleled you are, or how strong your strength is, you are just an ant in the face of such a forbidden zone."

One expert said self-deprecatingly, his words causing countless people to sigh.

"Yes, the Ancient God Mountains. This place has buried too many corpses. Since ancient times, many experts have stepped into it, wanting to seek fortune and opportunity, but in the end, very few have been able to come out alive, let alone obtain supreme opportunities."

"Every one of us who has reached this step is a chosen one of heaven, possessing an invincible heart. Even if no one has done it before, it doesn't mean that we can't."

"We cultivators are going against the heavens. If we hear the Dao in the morning, we can die in the evening! There are fortunes and opportunities in this Ancient God Palace. If we are not destined to have them, what regrets do we have!"

People continued to speak, some with regret in their voices, as if given another chance, they would never come.

There were also many who did not regret it, even in death, the invincible heart in their chest remained.

"Are we just going to be trapped here to death?"

Another expert, already showing signs of becoming demonic, despaired and said this.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Tian Yan is forty-nine, and humans escape by one. Such forbidden zones must have rules, a glimmer of hope, but we have not yet discovered where the path to survival lies."

An unparalleled heavenly talent spoke, attacking constantly, his body surrounded by dazzling, extremely bright light.

Lu Changsheng watched all this, frowning, not knowing what to say.

Everything must have a glimmer of hope, but in the current situation, where was that glimmer of hope?

Could it be that it lay in him using his cheat?

Lu Changsheng paused, a thought arising in his mind.

But he quickly shook his head.

How could a glimmer of hope lie within him, especially through such means as using a cheat?

However, the current situation did make him want to use his cheat.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to see such a scene, with people constantly falling, and wanted to save them.

But the current situation was just too strange.

Lu Changsheng could clearly feel that the changes in the Ancient God Palace had added a strange, oppressive air to the atmosphere.

Under the influence of the power of Tian Yuan, this strangeness was very weak, making it difficult for people to detect.

Lu Changsheng had the Azure Lotus Robe, which blocked the power of Tian Yuan, making him extremely sensitive to these things.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng was very worried that things would continue like this, and other troubles would arise.

His biggest worry was what Wang Xiu had just said, the invincible existence nurtured by the Ancient God Palace.

If this was the case, and the emergence of the Ancient God Palace meant that the existence it nurtured was nearing revival, and wanted to trap and kill everyone here, drawing on their power to revive, what would they do?

Just thinking about it was terrifying, very terrifying.

When Lu Changsheng first came to the Great Thousand World, the Buddha Mother had attacked him, and he knew the horror of a Creation Realm expert.

But he felt that the dragon-headed, thousand-armed existence in his mind was even more terrifying and powerful than the Buddha Mother.

If the invincible existence in the Ancient God Palace was this dragon-headed, thousand-armed being, then once it revived, how could they fight it? What could they use to fight it?

He was afraid that even using his cheat, he wouldn't be able to win.

But speaking of using his cheat, he had already used it twice in the Ancient God Mountains.

Using his cheat whenever he encountered difficulties was not good.

Moreover, the current difficulty was a bit too great. Could he really use it successfully? Wouldn't he break his cheat, causing it to explode?

If that were the case, he would be in big trouble.

"Brother, I have a feeling that if things continue like this, it will be bad."

At this time, the War God spoke, looking at Lu Changsheng.

He was now filled with battle intent, and a force that seemed to be condensed from battle intent surrounded him, existing between illusion and reality, extremely mysterious, allowing him to not be invaded by the power of Tian Yuan.

This caused Wang Xiu and Di Yunxiao to marvel, finding it extraordinary.

Lu Changsheng was silent, not replying.

Because what the War God said was complete nonsense. Everyone present knew that if things continued like this, it would obviously be bad.

After a while, Lu Changsheng sighed.

This sigh shocked Wang Xiu and the War God, who had extreme confidence in Lu Changsheng.

Could it be! Could it be! Could it be!

Could it be that things had already reached this point?

That even their forever god was helpless and sighed.

After thinking it over, Lu Changsheng felt that dragging things out like this would lead to even greater trouble later on. Using his cheat then would be even more difficult, with even greater consequences.

It was better to be cautious and use his cheat now.

Hesitation leads to trouble.

"Open the Ancient God Palace."

A faint voice sounded.

Lu Changsheng was very cautious, not allowing the light screen to disappear, nor the power of Tian Yuan to dissipate, nor the Ancient God Palace inheritance to appear directly beside him.

The consequences of that would be too great.

As for opening the Ancient God Palace, Lu Changsheng was confident that he could stand out from everyone and obtain the inheritance within.

At the instant Lu Changsheng finished speaking, suddenly.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The Ancient God Palace shook violently, and blood color filled the entire sky. A terrifying aura emanated from the Ancient God Palace.

At this moment, apart from Wang Xiu, the War God and Di Yunxiao were dumbfounded.

What kind of method was this?

It was too terrifying.

It was simply outrageous.

You just said a word to open the Ancient God Palace, and the Ancient God Palace showed anomalies, as if it was really about to open.

The War God and Di Yunxiao were stunned, their faces blank.

Wang Xiu's expression was calm, feeling that this was normal operation, as it should be.

At the same time, he couldn't help but reflect on himself, realizing that he had actually harbored a trace of doubt because of Lu Changsheng's sigh just now.

This made Wang Xiu want to slap himself, to atone for his disrespect.

Di Yunxiao saw Lu Changsheng's divine power for the first time. He woke up from his daze and wanted to ask.

However, a terrible force appeared.

This force was like an invisible hand, making everyone feel bound, grasped in its palm, about to be pulled into the Ancient God Palace.
