The expression on Long Yu's face caused the remaining five to believe that the white light beam that annihilated their teammate wasn't released by Long Yu. Otherwise, why would he be so surprised and relieved?
Since that was the case, the five were more at ease.
If Long Yu could control such a terrifying white light beam, how were they supposed to fight against Long Yu? It was already good enough that they weren't killed by Long Yu.
Thus, one of them condensed an illusion doppelganger and let that illusion doppelganger enter the first palace.
Long Yu frowned slightly, but he didn't pay any attention to them. Instead, he turned around and fled further inside, as if he was very afraid of these Emperor Realm experts. This was also a normal reaction for Long Yu in the eyes of these Emperor Realm experts. After all, they were all Emperor Realm experts. If Long Yu was caught by them, he would definitely die.
If Long Yu wasn't here, the five of them wouldn't have been annihilated by the pill's defensive array.
When they saw that the illusion avatar was fine in the hall, they charged in together and flew towards the stone platform at the center of the hall. They quickly grabbed the pill bottle.
"It's an ancient supreme rank pill at the very least. But it's empty now. It looks like that kid took it."
One of them's expression darkened.
"An ancient supreme rank pill!"
The others were overjoyed. They felt like they were about to strike it rich. If a random hall could contain an ancient supreme rank pill, then what about the other halls?
There were at least a few hundred halls in the entire palace!
"But that kid is a bit strange."
The middle-aged man with a gloomy expression said, "Let's continue chasing and observe the situation."
The five of them nodded. When they discovered the ancient supreme grade pill bottle, most of them could not hold themselves back any longer. One by one, they rushed towards the second palace hall.
Long Yu had already arrived at the second hall. He walked to the center of the hall and pretended to take the pill bottle from the stone platform.
As a result, the five people who had caught up all shouted, "Stop!"
If Long Yu had been doing something else, these five people would have been much more cautious. But seeing Long Yu take away the pill bottle, they didn't have time to think about it. With a loud shout, they charged over.
One of them raised his hand and sealed off the entire hall, preventing Long Yu from escaping. Then, with a flash, he appeared beside Long Yu, and a spatial blade instantly slashed towards Long Yu.
This person was a late stage emperor realm cultivator, so Long Yu naturally didn't dare to fight him. He immediately used his seventh divine ability, the Path of Nine Underworlds, and passed through the sealed space. Then, he used Shadow Escape and left the palace!
The others stepped into the hall successively. The middle-aged man at the advanced-stage of the King Realm grabbed the pill bottle that Long Yu had thrown away, and when he opened it, a strong medicinal fragrance instantly drifted out.
"It really is an ancient transcendent elixir!"
That person was overjoyed. However, in the next moment, several beams of white light flashed around the palace hall and enveloped him.
After Long Yu left the second palace hall, he activated the Elixir Guarding Array once again!
Four beams of white light appeared and instantly annihilated four emperor realm cultivators. The last one remaining was the most cautious late stage emperor realm cultivator!
The white light came too quickly. Even the divine characters of space couldn't allow the people inside to escape in time. The four people who had entered the palace were completely annihilated. Not even their bones remained.
The most cautious late stage emperor realm cultivator felt a lingering fear when he saw this. It was fortunate that he hadn't entered the palace with the others, or he would've been dead by now.
He looked up and saw Long Yu staring greedily at the pill bottle that had fallen to the ground in the passageway on the other side of the hall. However, he didn't dare enter to take it.
"Although I don't know how this kid was so lucky to have avoided two rounds of white light, it's obvious that he wasn't the one controlling the white light …"
The late stage emperor realm cultivator thought for a moment, then immediately turned around and left.
There was no way he was going to risk his life in a place like this. He might die without knowing what was going on, so he decided to go out and call for help. As for Long Yu, he would leave an avatar behind to keep an eye on him and prevent Long Yu from escaping.
When he passed by the first palace hall, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. He didn't dare step into the hall at all, so he immediately used the divine characters of space and teleported several hundred meters forward, returning to the first entrance.
"It's a good thing that I can teleport past these halls."
The late stage emperor realm cultivator was still fearful. He was truly afraid that his teleportation would attract the white light's attack. Thankfully, he managed to leave the palace without a hitch.
He left behind a mirror avatar at the entrance of the palace hall and flew towards the entrance of the ancient ruins. He was going to leave the ruins and call for more people.
With so many transcendent ancient rank pills around, he was sure that he could find a lot of people. Even if they were all emperor realm cultivators, it would be enough to sacrifice them!
That's right, he was going out to find people to sacrifice in order to figure out the mechanism behind the appearance of the white light.
He would only be able to obtain the pills if he could figure out the pattern behind the appearance of the white light. Otherwise, he wouldn't do something so stupid as to die before he could get his hands on the pills.
That was why he wasn't interested even though there were seventeen other entrances nearby. Instead, he left as quickly as he could.
… …
Long Yu smiled in satisfaction as he watched the man leave.
Clearly, that fellow had gone out to call for reinforcements. Since he was going out to call for reinforcements, it was time to relax the entry requirements of the entire ancient ruins. The protective array of the pill hall and those white lights were definitely something that could easily annihilate even an Emperor Realm expert. In this place, even if Long Yu were to face an Emperor Realm expert, he wouldn't be afraid.
Of course, the other party could use the divine characters of space to jump through the halls and deal with him first. However, Long Yu had already comprehended the Nine Hell Heavenly Light to a transcendent level. He could block the use of any divine characters of space!
Long Yu had already dug a trap and was just waiting for others to jump in. He didn't know how many people would come, but he would kill as many as they came. He couldn't let even one of them escape.
The Shenluo Empire was an enemy to Long Yu, not a friend. Back in the City of Desolate God, the city lord's daughter, Situ Liuli, had tyrannically insisted on leaving one of Long Yu's arms behind. The two sides had already become enemies.
Since this was the case, Long Yu wouldn't let go of the opportunity to weaken the other party's strength.
Moreover, he might even be able to catch some unexpected big fish...
If he wanted to relax the conditions to enter the ancient ruins, he had to enter the control core of the entire small world's wreckage. That place could only be controlled by using a seal. Long Yu had to go to that place to truly catch a big fish.
"Cultivate first!"
Long Yu cultivated in the storage palace. He began to comprehend the aura of the Dubhe Qi Channeling Technique. His comprehension of this martial technique was getting closer and closer to the transformation realm.
He wasn't in a hurry because the late emperor realm cultivator would need at least a month to leave the small world.
Therefore, Long Yu cultivated for more than half a month. Twenty-five days later, he finally achieved a breakthrough in the Dubhe Qi Channeling Technique. He was half a step into the transformation realm!
He was only a little bit away from completely entering the transformation realm, but Long Yu couldn't continue cultivating now. He had to hurry to the control core of the small world first.
It had already been two months since he had entered the fragment of the minor world. During these two months, only the seven emperor realm experts had come knocking on his door. Long Yu found it strange. Could it be that only these seven fellows had followed him in?
Long Yu flew straight to the entrance and saw the late emperor realm cultivator's mirror image from afar.
A late emperor realm cultivator's mirror image!
Perhaps it was impossible for an ordinary intermediate-stage King Realm Martial Cultivator to be a match for it. However, it was nothing to Long Yu. He transformed into a shadow and silently approached it. The Mirror Image Clone had only just reacted when it was completely confined by the Darkstar Body.
Five hundred Fallen Dark Stars condensed again and exploded with a loud bang.
The late emperor realm mirror image couldn't put up any resistance at all. It was blasted into the purest divine characters and dispersed in all directions.
Although the battle was taking place inside the palace, Long Yu wasn't worried about damaging it at all. As expected, the explosion of his five hundred Fallen Dark Stars didn't damage the palace in the slightest.
It was easy to imagine how powerful a spatial crack that could split the entire palace in half was.
Long Yu immediately formed a hand seal after the mirror image was dead and prepared to head to the control core of the small world through the spatial crack. He was going to let the great emperor realm cultivator in!
… …
The late emperor realm cultivator who was about to reach the exit of the small world paled when his mirror image was destroyed, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he flew even faster towards the exit.
It would take him at least twenty-five days to return to the palace. There was no way he could find Long Yu by then. His best option now was to leave the small world and invite more reinforcements.
He arrived at the exit of the ancient ruins a few days later, but the situation in front of him shocked him greatly.
Emperor Realm experts had actually entered the ancient ruins and were gathering at the entrance. Up until now, there were already ten Emperor Realm experts that had entered the ancient ruins together!
"Great emperors can enter now?"
The man was shocked. His late emperor realm cultivation didn't mean much at all. It was very likely that he would be used as cannon fodder in the palace!
The one who would benefit in the end might not be him, but the great emperors!
But so what?
The fact that he was able to survive among the seven meant that he was extremely cautious. Even great emperors might not survive as long as he did in the ancient ruins …
After seeing the great emperors, the man immediately explained what he saw, including the dangers he encountered along the way. First, there was a relatively small spatial crack that swam around and sucked two of his teammates into it. They were torn to shreds by the power of space.
Then, there was a giant spatial crack that cut across the entire ancient ruins. They could only go around it and rely on their powerful tracking skills to find Long Yu who had entered first. They arrived at a magnificent palace.
Inside the palace, there was a pill bottle in every hall. The pill bottle contained at least a supreme ancient rank pill!
The man's words immediately piqued the great emperors' interest.
"When the Taiwu Empire's army arrives, we will immediately depart. Everyone, wait for further orders."
