Each blade light slashed from the void, likely nourished by the blood of tens of thousands of lives. The sea of blood behind Dong Tai churned. Di Xin Yuan raised his crucifix high, clasped his hands before his chest. Golden light flowed across the crucifix. Suddenly, Di Xin Yuan clenched his hands, and a cross of light shot out, colliding with the several blood-colored blade lights.
The attacks of the two Immortal Monarch powerhouses shattered the void. The cross of light and the blood-colored blade lights pushed and shoved, striving to annihilate each other. After about a few breaths, both vanished simultaneously.
"Princess Tao Yun, I believe General Dong Tai's combat prowess is unparalleled. This secret treasure is vast, with countless lives. Perhaps only the two elders of the Purple Thunder Sect, Cheng Bu and Gan Xing, can suppress General Dong Tai!"
Zi Lan Xin smiled slightly, looking at Xia Hou Ni Yun, her eyes steady and calm.
Xia Hou Ni Yun smiled slightly, but her expression shifted instantly. Zi Lan Xin's indirect words made her heart tremble. Yes, this secret treasure was vast and filled with countless treasures. Who could contend with the Purple Thunder Sect? Her pupils contracted, and she turned to look at Zhuang Zhuo beside her.
"Princess, His Majesty said that although our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty has an alliance with the Purple Thunder Sect, we cannot trust them completely," Zhuang Zhuo said softly.
"General Dong!"
Xia Hou Ni Yun called out into the void. Dong Tai hastily withdrew his hand, glanced unwillingly at Di Xin Yuan, and then walked to Xia Hou Ni Yun's side.
Xia Hou Ni Yun raised her head and smiled at Zi Lan Xin and the disciples of the Six Fires Sect, "We will meet again!"
"Go!"
Watching the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty in the distance, Di Xin Yuan landed beside Zi Lan Xin, took out a pill, and put it into his mouth. "This Dong Tai is not simple. I am no longer his match!"
"Is that so?"
Huan Bu's eyes flashed with cold light upon hearing this. He looked at the receding figures in the distance and said, "Saintess, we should also hurry!"
"Go!"
...
After stepping into the Golden Immortal realm, Li Bai and Qi Ji Guang stabilized themselves and then continued to linger in the landscape painting for another day. They found nothing. At noon, they left the landscape painting. However, upon reappearing within the secret treasure, they were no longer in the original great hall but had appeared randomly. The two identified their direction and then ascended into the air. In a blink of an eye, half a day passed, and they saw the disheveled figures of the Qing Yang Sect leaving that turbulent mountain range. Another day passed. From high above, they could still occasionally hear sounds of fighting from the ground.
The two did not participate, as the items they had seized were not to their liking. They continued deeper. After about fifteen minutes, at the end of the horizon, a giant city appeared. Along the way, they found no trace of other living beings. The two exchanged glances and accelerated towards it.
As they approached the city, they felt a spatial suppression. They descended from the void and stepped onto the ground. The city before them was ancient, with many spirit material bricks already peeling off. Many places were covered in dense cracks, and some ten-zhang walls had a slight inclination.
The two paused for a few breaths, took a general scan, and then walked straight towards the city gate.
After passing through the main gate and seeing the buildings within the city, they noticed a fresh corpse lying on the right side, its blood still not coagulated.
"It's a being from the Purple Thunder Sect!"
"Living beings have already been here."
Li Bai raised his head and scanned ahead, but the empty street and the immortal energy flowing in the void revealed no trace of any living being.
"A being from the Purple Thunder Sect? Who dares to kill the disciples of the Purple Thunder Sect?" Qi Ji Guang stepped forward, lifted the being's clothing, and looked at the wound. He said again, "It's the Six Fires Sect!"
Although the two had not clashed with the beings from the Six Fires Sect, Qing Yang Sect, Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, and Purple Thunder Sect, they had clearly recognized their techniques when several Immortal Monarch powerhouses suppressed the stone statue in the great hall that day.
"It seems we haven't arrived early, but rather late!"
Qi Ji Guang shook his head and smiled.
The two stood up and walked more than a dozen steps forward before seeing a giant stone tablet inscribed with three large characters: "Dragon Burial City!"
"Dragon Burial City!"
"It seems we have reached the most core area. Finding Dragon Burial City means the burial place of Emperor Burial Dragon is not far!"
Their steps quickened. Soon, they passed through the Three Thousand Paths, and a red two-pillar gate blocked their path. A faint blue light circle flickered on the two-pillar gate. In front of it were many corpses of living beings, similar to the corpse at the city gate, their blood still uncoagulated.
Upon entering the two-pillar gate, a brand new world unfolded before them. On a vast plaza, the beings from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, Purple Thunder Sect, and Six Fires Sect instantly turned their gaze to Li Bai and Qi Ji Guang who had appeared.
As the two appeared, a group of Immortal Monarch powerhouses looked at them. Cheng Bu narrowed his eyes and said, "To have stepped into the Golden Immortal realm, it seems you two have had quite fortunate encounters!"
"The sword technique you preserved should be returned now!"
"Chiii!"
Cheng Bu raised his hand and shot a sword light directly at Li Bai and Qi Ji Guang, saying coldly, "Hand it over!"
"Stop!"
Just as Li Bai was about to make a move, Lao Fuzi appeared on the plaza. He pointed his finger, and two streams of finger energy shot out.
Boom!
The sword energy and the finger energy collided, emitting a sky-shattering roar.
An overwhelming wave of wind blew countless beings away. The two terrifying beams of light clashed in the void, creating dazzling sparks that shook the entire plaza and kicked up a lot of dust.
"A decaying old man dares to oppose my Purple Thunder Sect!"
Cheng Bu, holding his long sword, looked at Lao Fuzi blocking his way, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Elder Cheng, this secret treasure is vast, and all inheritances are ownerless. Whoever obtains them through destiny is theirs. Why the relentless pursuit!"
Lao Fuzi had still intervened. He had previously advised Li Bai and Qi Ji Guang to give up the sword technique, but when Cheng Bu made his move, he stepped forward.
Countless beings watched. In the void, sword energy howled like ghosts, tearing the void apart, while on the other side, white finger energy, also emitting layers of golden light, fought each other on equal footing.
"Break!"
Lao Fuzi shouted, and the finger energy he sent out with both fingers surged. The finger energy flashed and struck directly at the sword energy.
"Damn it!"
Cheng Bu's expression changed. He tilted his body slightly and dodged the attack with his sword. The stream of finger energy brushed past Cheng Bu's body and shot into the sky.
"Can this matter end here?"
