Every step Xuan Xing took was akin to the dance of dragons and snakes. His powerful attacks didn't even need to exhaust his own energy. He was purely using the divine inscriptions in the underground palace to launch his attacks.
Xuan Xing had a pair of mystic eyes that could see through divine inscriptions with a single glance. His attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were extremely high, and as long as there were attack-type divine inscriptions in this underground palace, he would be able to use them to his advantage.
As Qin Wentian madly sprinted forward, he felt a towering pressure gushing towards him from behind. He didn't pause for even a moment and directly stepped on a certain diagram. Abruptly, the diagram lit up, becoming incomparably resplendent. His body seemed to be clad in a layer of fearsome devil armor, impenetrable.
Turning around, he directly blasted out a punch. There were powerful divine imprints inscribed on his devil armor, and with this punch, numerous devils howled and rushed out, blasting towards Xuan Xing's attack. Terrifying rumbling sounds reverberated throughout the underground palace, and the tremors caused everyone to feel as though this underground palace was going to collapse at any moment.
"Divine Inscriptions Armor." Xuan Xing's expression was incredibly unsightly to behold. So it turned out that Qin Wentian had sped towards that direction because he saw the divine inscriptions armor and was the first to obtain it. At this moment, Qin Wentian's entire body shone resplendently, exuding an unexcelled aura.
Numerous silhouettes sped over, surrounding Qin Wentian. Those from the Twin Stars Alliance and the other geniuses all understood that this underground palace might very well be the passageway to the true emperor palace. Since Qin Wentian had obtained the map, this matter was extremely important.
"Hand it over." Xuan Xing stepped out step by step, only to see a terrifying flood dragon soaring into the air, aiming to devour Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian coldly laughed. With a wave of his hand, he pressed his palm onto a runic diagram and slashed out ferociously. A towering devil saber slashed down from the heavens, slamming into the black flood dragon. The flood dragon was destroyed, while the devil saber was shattered.
"What a powerful attainment in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. Although he doesn't have the mystic eyes, he's still extremely familiar with the divine inscriptions in this underground palace." Everyone stared at Qin Wentian. This person was like a tiger that had grown wings in the underground palace, and his strength had become much stronger.
"Xuan Xing, it doesn't seem right for you to treat the people of my Xiao Clan like this." Xiao Lengyue walked up. Although she was clad in crimson robes, right now her entire body exuded an aura of coldness, causing people to involuntarily shiver.
"The person you invited has guts." Xuan Xing smiled at Qin Wentian and said, "Since the map is with him, let him lead the way. Everyone, follow him, how about it?"
"Alright." Xiao Lengyue nodded, she didn't reject. If they really found the emperor palace, the strength of their Xiao Sect would be the strongest. What was there to fear? On the contrary, in this underground palace, their hands and feet would be tied.
"Qin Wentian, you lead the way." Xiao Lengyue stepped forward, arriving at the back of Qin Wentian as she transmitted her voice to him, "Well done."
Qin Wentian smiled as he continued walking forward. This underground palace was extremely vast, resembling a mausoleum of an emperor. It was vast and sinister, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Several paths appeared in front of them, each of them exuding a mysterious aura.
"Which path should we take?" Xiao Lengyue asked.
"This one." Qin Wentian pointed to a path in front of him as he continued walking forward. The others followed behind him. A gust of cold wind gusted by, exuding a sinister aura, causing people to feel a chill down their spines.
This space seemed to be a gigantic cave dwelling with stone walls as though they were in the middle of an ancient mountain. However, the stone walls were uneven and uneven, causing the cave dwelling to be in an irregular shape, extending outwards unceasingly.
The various geniuses didn't say anything, they were all very calm with solemn expressions. If this was truly the path to the emperor palace, they might encounter danger at any moment. They had no choice but to be cautious.
And at this moment, the footsteps of the group abruptly halted. Their gazes were fixed ahead and on the ground, there were actually many corpses. In fact, there were even some experts who had fallen here, but their corpses were still perfectly preserved.
"This …" The hearts of everyone trembled. In front of them, there was a mysterious ancient wall with countless complicated runic inscriptions inscribed on it.
Xiao Lengyue's silhouette flickered as she appeared before an intact corpse. The skin of this corpse was like jade, incomparably flawless. However, there was no aura coming from it. Evidently, this person was already dead and it was unknown how long he had been dead for.
"At the very least, he's an immortal-foundation expert." Xiao Lengyue's gaze froze. Such skin, there was no doubt that this was an immortal physique.
She slowly moved forward, arriving before another corpse. This corpse was already smashed into smithereens, revealing some of its bones. However, there seemed to be marvelous runic inscriptions engraved on these bones, as though they were the laws of the Great Dao. They actually contained traces of terrifying might.
"Rune bones. Seems like this person has already established an immortal-king physique. Every single bone in his body is a supreme treasure." Xiao Lengyue's countenance trembled. When this person was alive, he must have been an immortal king. Even his bones contained rune bones, containing powerful law energy.
Many of the corpses here belonged to immortal kings. Such characters had all died here.
"What did you obtain exactly? Is it really just a map?" At this moment, a cold voice drifted over. Xuan Xing's eyes stared at Qin Wentian, as coldness flashed in his eyes. He wouldn't trust people easily, let alone a stranger. Earlier, the scroll on the wall was unique, there seemed to be some marvelous diagrams circulating within it. Hence, all of them were fighting over it. But right now, only Qin Wentian knew if it was really a map or not.
The person who shouted out that he obtained the map was none other than Qin Wentian himself.
At this moment, Xiao Lengyue's gaze also turned to Qin Wentian. Her beautiful eyes gleamed with a bright light. Evidently, a trace of suspicion appeared in her heart. Only Qin Wentian knew if this was really a map or not.
"Qin Wentian, tell me the truth. Is that really the map of this underground palace? Where is the endpoint? What is our current location?" Xiao Lengyue transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. After Xuan Xing's reminder, Xiao Lengyue started to feel suspicious.
"This is a dead end, there's no map at all." At this moment, a voice rang out. The gazes of the crowd turned over and stared at the stone wall in front of them. A Heaven's Chosen stood there, staring at an unmoving body. This body was sitting there, as though it had died in a seated position.
Xiao Lengyue's beautiful eyes flashed with sharpness. After which, her silhouette flickered. The others also moved towards that person, following his gaze. On the ground before the corpse, there was actually a row of words inscribed there.
"Tens of thousands of years, thinking of countless endings. Who would have thought that I would be trapped here, dying at the end of my lifespan."
This line of words was shocking to the eye, causing those who saw it to feel a chill run down their spines. They felt a bone-chilling coldness from head to toe.
This expert who died in a seated posture was trapped here for tens of thousands of years?
He had thought of countless endings, yet he didn't expect that he would be trapped here, dying at the end of his lifespan.
Tens of thousands of years, what a terrifying number of years. There was a high possibility that this person was also an immortal king who had reached the end of his lifespan and was trapped here until his death.
Even immortal kings were like this, what about them?
Numerous cold gazes landed on Qin Wentian as killing intent gushed forth. Even the experts of the Xiao Sect were staring at Qin Wentian, their countenances cold and filled with killing intent.
If it wasn't for Qin Wentian wanting to enter this place, they wouldn't have taken the risk. Only when Qin Wentian took the lead did they dare to enter.
In that case, the scroll Qin Wentian obtained might not be a map at all. There was no map at all.
Xiao Lengyue's countenance turned cold. Qin Wentian had lied to her.
"Why haven't you guys finished reading the words?" Qin Wentian spoke. Everyone naturally had already finished reading. There was still a row of words below, "Ancient Emperor Yi, how can one comprehend the secrets of this underground palace?"
The killing intent radiating from everyone was extremely terrifying as they stared at Qin Wentian. An immortal king was trapped here and they were all brought in by Qin Wentian.
"You guys wanted to enter the emperor palace and I brought you in. This is indeed the passageway. From this, we can already be certain that this is an underground palace created by an ancient emperor. What's laughable is that you guys are all geniuses of the immortal realms and chose to enter willingly. Now, you guys are actually venting your anger on me? Don't you find this ironic?"
Qin Wentian laughed. "I don't think I forced anyone to enter this place, right?"
Although Qin Wentian said this, the expressions of everyone were still unfriendly. Xia Qianhan's countenance turned even colder. "Lengyue, I've long said that we can't trust this man so easily. Now that he brought us into this place of danger, he deserves to die."
"But what he said isn't wrong. This is indeed the passageway to the emperor palace of an ancient emperor. If we can unravel the secrets of the underground palace, we might be able to obtain the secrets of Ancient Emperor Yi or even his inheritance." Xiao Lengyue spoke. "You guys should have heard of Ancient Emperor Yi before, right?"
The eyes of everyone gleamed with sharpness. If they saw Ancient Emperor Yi's name before, they would surely be wild with joy. But right now, panic had covered their joy. An immortal king had died here, how could they feel joy?
"Of course I know. Ancient Emperor Yi was a character who once unified the immortal realms. It's rumored that in this immortal realms, only those supreme characters who managed to do so would have the qualifications to be known as ancient emperors. Ancient Emperor Yi was one of them, a character whose name shook the past and present. To think that his emperor palace would really be in the City of Ancient Emperors. If this was known to the outside world, it would surely cause a huge commotion." Someone spoke.
"The City of Ancient Emperors has always been independent from the immortal realms. It's a mysterious place. Without permission, even immortal kings and emperors wouldn't be able to enter. Before this, I've already heard that there were ruins left behind by ancient emperors. Now that I personally saw Ancient Emperor Yi's name appearing here, I can only feel how mysterious this place is."
Although Xiao Lengyue was panicking in her heart, she still maintained a clear head.
"If we can obtain the world-shaking secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi …" Xiao Lengyue mumbled, her words causing the hearts of many who had heard of Ancient Emperor Yi to tremble violently.
According to the legends, Ancient Emperor Yi's world-shaking secret art had been lost for many years. The reason why these immortal kings appeared here was most probably because of this secret art. Sadly, not only did they fail to obtain it, they even died here!
Now that they came here, was it a blessing or a calamity?
