Amidst the army of ten thousand, the overwhelming killing intent and Yin Qi swept over like a tornado. The two of them were like small boats drifting in the wind, ready to fall apart at any moment.
"Kill!" Tang Zheng roared. He was not one to go with the flow. He immediately summoned the Four Manifestations Venerable. Its massive body immediately made the other terracotta figures look like ants.
The Four Manifestations Venerable had been heavily injured. Tang Zheng had yet to find a way to repair it, but it was still capable of basic physical defense and attack.
With a leap, Tang Zheng pulled Professor Qi and drilled into the body of the Four Divine Beasts, seizing the attacks that covered the sky and earth. The Four Divine Beasts' body immediately rang out with ping ping ping ping sounds.
This was the first time Professor Qi had entered the Four Manifestations Venerable. He was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. He wanted nothing more than to double his eyes and greedily observe his surroundings.
Back then, he had personally witnessed the Four Manifestations Venerable's strength in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, that was only a passing encounter. Moreover, that was outside and he was unable to enter the interior.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he was like a child who had obtained his favorite toy. The corners of his mouth cracked open and he could not stop smiling foolishly.
However, Tang Zheng was not as optimistic. His expression was extremely grim as he controlled the Four Manifestations Venerable to charge towards the edge of the altar.
How could the terracotta figures let him do as he pleased? The general swung his spear and the other terracotta figures let out soundless roars. Like maggots attached to the bones, they quickly climbed up the Four Manifestations Venerable in an attempt to attack its vital points.
"Go to hell!"
Tang Zheng angrily roared, and the Four Symbols Venerable immediately waved his arms, sweeping away the terracotta figures that were climbing up his body. Ding ding dang dang, like rain hitting banana leaves, these terracotta figures fell to the ground one after another, shattering into pieces.
However, it was still no match for the sheer number of terracotta figures. Before long, the terracotta figures had climbed all over the Four Manifestations Venerable's body. They exerted force on its chest and head. Banging sounds rang out incessantly.
The Four Manifestations Venerable's strength had already been greatly reduced. Faced with such an attack, even Tang Zheng felt like his heart had been struck by a heavy punch. His face paled.
However, he did not give up. He swept the terracotta figures off his chest, then with a tap of his foot, he shot towards the edge of the altar like an arrow.
He had succeeded!
The Four Symbols Venerable leaped into the air and rapidly descended to the ground.
"Roar!"
All of a sudden, a low roar exploded above their heads as the general galloped out of the altar.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, the warhorse actually landed on top of the Four Symbols Venerable.
Clang!
The spear struck the top of the Four Symbols Venerable's head. The tremendous force caused the Four Symbols Venerable to fall even faster.
Boom!
After an earth-shattering boom, the Four Symbols Venerable landed on the ground. Cracks spread out in all directions, and the terracotta figures on his body lost their balance and fell to the ground one after another. They were thrown off their feet and shattered into pieces.
The Four Symbols Knight wanted to run, but the general above him had accumulated another attack. The cold light of the spear flashed, and it looked like it was about to hit the Four Symbols Knight again.
Tang Zheng was well aware of the situation of the Four Divine Beasts. If it had been in the past, it would have been invulnerable, but now it had been severely injured, and its strength had been greatly reduced.
The force just now had almost split open the Four Symbols Venerable's head. If it happened again, he couldn't guarantee that the Four Symbols Venerable would still be safe and sound.
Clearly, the enemy wouldn't show any mercy.
Tang Zheng hurriedly controlled the Four Symbols Venerable and grabbed at the top of his head.
Ka-cha!
The warhorse was caught head-on and shattered into pieces. Even the Shooting Sun Arrows fell into the large hand.
The general had already flown up and dodged the attack, but the spear's attack didn't decrease in the slightest.
Pu!
The spear pierced through the Four Symbols Venerable's palm. Tang Zheng let out a heart-wrenching scream. When he looked down, he saw that his palm was also bleeding profusely.
At this moment, he and the Four Symbols Venerable had become one. Injuring the Four Symbols Venerable was injuring him.
He endured the pain and slapped down with his other hand. The huge palm immediately enveloped the other party in a shadow.
The general hurriedly pulled back his spear, wanting to block the attack.
However, the fingers of the injured palm closed and grabbed the spear, making it impossible for the general to pull back his spear to block.
Seeing this, the general was shocked. He let go of his spear and raised both his hands to block.
However, the strength of the Four Symbols Venerable was ultimately not something he could resist. With a muffled bang, the general was flattened to the ground, leaving behind only fragments.
Phew!
Tang Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. However, before he could rejoice, he saw the terracotta soldiers swarming over like a tide.
"Let's go!"
The Four Symbols Venerable took large strides and rushed toward the Celestial Palace. At this moment, he couldn't care less about the Spiritual Energy on the bronze masks.
Although the bronze masks were very tempting, they were like thorny roses.
The Four Symbols Venerable was extremely fast, and the terracotta soldiers were clearly unable to catch up. In the blink of an eye, they left the densely packed terracotta soldiers behind them.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng listened attentively and frowned. Eh, why is there no movement behind me?
He turned his head curiously.
"Ah!"
He couldn't help but cry out in alarm. He saw that the densely packed terracotta soldiers had actually stopped their pursuit and were looking at him with hollow eyes from afar.
"What's going on? Why aren't they chasing me? "
Tang Zheng couldn't figure it out and subconsciously looked up.
The Celestial Palace!
Two huge words appeared above his head. These two words were floating, but there was no sign or anything like that. They just quietly floated above his head.
He suddenly realized that he had unknowingly arrived in front of the Celestial Palace.
There must be some kind of restriction on the Celestial Palace that prevented the terracotta soldiers from approaching.
Since that was the case, there was no need to stay in the Four Symbols Venerable anymore.
He and Professor Qi left the Four Symbols Venerable. Professor Qi was reluctant to leave. Although he didn't gain much, this kind of experience was too rare.
Professor Qi sighed in disappointment as he watched the Four Symbols Venerable disappear before his eyes. However, in an instant, he sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, as if he had been fixed in place, he looked up blankly.
What was above his head?
Of course, it was the Celestial Palace!
Not just the two words' Celestial Palace ', but the actual Celestial Palace itself.
When looking at the Celestial Palace from afar, one would be shocked by its majesty. Now that he was standing at the foot of the Celestial Palace, this feeling was especially strong. It was so shocking that he could barely find words to describe it.
Tang Zheng's feelings were more or less the same. He saw that the Celestial Palace above his head was endless, as if it really towered into the clouds.
"Fair-faced Flying Dragon has already entered the Celestial Palace. Let's follow." Tang Zheng said resolutely. There was already no way out for the thousands of soldiers and horses behind them.
Moreover, since they were already here, they naturally couldn't just leave without taking a look. Although they knew that there would be danger inside.
Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, they still walked towards it.
The two of them walked over confidently. The Celestial Palace's palace gate was very huge. It was even taller and bigger than the tomb gate. The two of them arrived in front of the palace gate.
Eh?
There was actually a corpse in front of the palace gate.
"Second Brother Wu!"
The two of them recognized the corpse at the same time. Wasn't this the Second Brother Wu who had escaped without a trace? They didn't expect that he would actually escape to the front of the palace gate, but in the end, he didn't survive.
"Grave robbers deserve to die." Professor Qi sighed.
Ignoring Second Brother Wu, the two of them focused on the palace gate. The palace gate was tightly shut. Tang Zheng pushed with both hands, but the gate didn't move an inch.
His expression changed slightly as he sighed faintly. "Professor Qi, we can only rely on you."
Since Professor Qi could open the tomb gate, then perhaps he could also open the palace gate.
Professor Qi walked forward and said while surveying, "Fair-faced Flying Dragon is much earlier than us. Could it be that he has already entered?"
"He's so familiar with this place. It wouldn't be strange if he had already entered." Tang Zheng said indifferently.
"Just who is this person?" Professor Qi was also very curious.
Tang Zheng shook his head solemnly. This person was too strange. Not only did he know him, but he also wanted to kill him. When did he offend such an expert? How come he didn't know?
Only Fair-faced Flying Dragon could answer this question. Perhaps they would meet again in the Celestial Palace later on. They would definitely face off against each other, and perhaps it would really be a life and death battle.
Time passed minute by minute as Professor Qi focused on studying the palace gate. Tang Zheng was bored to death and focused on observing the surroundings.
The ancient tomb was originally quite dark, but it seemed that the stars in the sky were sprinkling down starlight, making the place much brighter than the altar. It was like the first glimmer of dawn.
In short, the Celestial Palace's majestic silhouette could be clearly seen.
Crack!
Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted Tang Zheng's thoughts. He saw the Celestial Palace's gate open little by little.
Tang Zheng was overjoyed. It was a wise move to bring Professor Qi with him. Otherwise, he would've entered the Celestial Palace no matter what.
The palace gate opened wide. Tang Zheng and Professor Qi looked at each other excitedly and cautiously walked in.
The interior of the Celestial Palace was as bright as day. As soon as they entered, they saw majestic terracotta soldiers standing on both sides. However, the yin energy on these terracotta soldiers wasn't dense enough. They hadn't come back to life.
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi's hearts were in their throats. If these terracotta soldiers came back to life and attacked, the two of them would've offended them.
After passing through the long corridor, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up. There were pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, fake mountains, and lakes. It really did look like a magnificent palace.
The two of them smacked their lips and exclaimed, "The Celestial Palace really lives up to its name. It was built according to ancient palaces."
Professor Qi's eyes were rolling. He almost couldn't see. His mouth was wide open and dazzled. He was so happy that he almost fainted.
This kind of spectacle was hard to come by in a lifetime. He felt that he was really lucky to be blessed by the heavens to be able to see such a scene in his lifetime.
"This palace is in the style of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. This is really the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang." Professor Qi came to this conclusion while trembling.
The two of them went around the exquisite pavilions and went deep into the Celestial Palace. A tall staircase was placed in front of them. The staircase seemed to have no end, as if it extended into the sky.
Tang Zheng subconsciously thought of the staircase to heaven. Perhaps this was the feeling that it gave people in the beginning. It went straight up into the sky.
The two of them began a long journey to conquer these stairs. Professor Qi was panting like a cow and almost couldn't climb. He had to rely on Tang Zheng's support to finally reach the top.
