The shrine was very simple, and even the materials used to construct the shrine were ordinary stones.
But after stepping through the doorstep of the Deity Palace, the suppressive might reached a whole new level. Xue Ying swept his gaze across the hall. The hall in front of him was about five kilometers wide. There was a passage paved with green rocks leading from the doorstep all the way to the end of the hall, where there was a stone door.
'According to the legends of this world, the Ancient Shrine had descended many epochs ago. From the looks of it, just the pressure alone is already so terrifying. It is indeed able to withstand the Great Apocalypse. ' Dongbo Xue Ying thought. Places like the Six Heavenly Wheel, Lake Heart Island historical remnant, and Starting Ground were all able to withstand the Great Apocalypse. Even the 'Three Chieftains Sacred Mountain' formed from the corpse of the Ancient Demon could withstand it. From this, one could see how strong the corpse of the Ancient Demon was.
Dongbo Xue Ying walked over step by step.
Because the pressure at the door was enough to make experts at the level of 'Chong-Shi Forefather' kneel, there was no one guarding the Ancient Shrine. Only the outermost layer was guarded by arrays. Paragon Emperor Xu was very confident … he felt that other than 'Spectre Prefecture Master' who could stealthily enter, any other Paragon would be discovered the moment they touched the arrays.
However, Dongbo Xue Ying similarly stealthily entered.
The green-colored stone path was only five kilometers long. Dongbo Xue Ying walked at a slower pace, but he still reached the end in a few breaths of time.
"I'm afraid that even ordinary Supremacies would be crushed by the pressure here." Dongbo Xue Ying felt the pressure on his body, 'If I didn't cultivate the Myriad Devil True Body, it would be tough for me to even stand straight. But now, it's still so easy. '
'This stone door … '
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the stone door in front of him.
The stone door was a single entity, and was a 'sluice gate'. Only by lifting the stone door up could one enter.
'Mn? ' Dongbo Xue Ying determined the type of exit. He still released his soul to inspect the stone door, 'It is indeed a sluice gate. It is the most ordinary mechanism, and as long as I lift it up, I can open the door.'
'But must I lift it up? ' Dongbo Xue Ying reached out his hand and touched the gap at the edge of the stone door. He wanted to turn into mist and pass through it, but when he tried to pass through the gap, he felt an invisible resistance.
Hu.
The mist condensed into Dongbo Xue Ying.
"I really can't slack off." Left with no choice, Dongbo Xue Ying reached out with both hands and grabbed onto the bottom gap of the stone door. The stone door trembled slightly.
"Eh?"
Dongbo Xue Ying was slightly shocked. Ever since he cultivated the initial scroll of the Thousand Demon True Body, he felt that his strength was ridiculously strong. Only the protectors from the Ancestor Mother Religion that specialized in body cultivation from another cosmos could be stronger than him. Furthermore, they were the apex protectors! In the Cultivator Cosmos, his strength was already ridiculously high. Perhaps only the Ascetic and a few others who had learned the Myriad Devil True Body could compete with him in strength.
Even after releasing 50% of his strength, he still couldn't lift it up.
"70%!" Dongbo Xue Ying's strength was rising.
"80%!"
"90%!"
Dongbo Xue Ying's arms were vaguely becoming thicker. Finally, the stone door started rising slowly. The terrifying aura from Dongbo Xue Ying's body surged out in all directions, blasting against the distant palace walls, causing the surrounding stone walls to rumble. Even though the impact of his aura was huge, it could not damage this Ancient Shrine at all. But because of the suppression in this place, even the Mirage World was suppressed, Dongbo Xue Ying could not conceal the commotion caused by his aura striking against the palace walls.
"I should be exposed soon." Dongbo Xue Ying frowned. He could no longer care about that. He was using all his strength to lift this stone door.
As the stone door was rising, unseen spatial ripples appeared beneath it.
Dongbo Xue Ying knew that it was this spatial ripple that obstructed him from tunneling through previously when he turned into mist. Even though this spatial ripple seemed ordinary, he could not tunnel through it even with his full strength.
"Rise."
Dongbo Xue Ying used both his arms to lift the stone door. At the same time, his body started expanding, lifting the stone door higher and higher.
…
There were two Paragons in the Xu Empire.
The two of them were teacher and disciple. Paragon Emperor Xu's status was the highest. He was the first Paragon of this epoch! His current strength was also unfathomable. His understanding towards the 'Ancient Shrine' was much deeper than Chong-Shi Forefather. He was clear that the legends were true. Thus, he desired to possess the Ancient Shrine even more.
But …
What made Paragon Emperor Xu feel helpless was that he could not even lift that stone door.
"After entering the shrine, I have to walk step by step to the stone door and lift it up. Only then would I be able to see the legendary flight of stairs … and at the top of the flight of stairs, is the ultimate of everything — the black gourd." Standing on a balcony in his palace, Paragon Emperor Xu looked at the Ancient Shrine within the boundaries of his palace. His eyes were filled with desire, "As long as I can obtain this black gourd, I will be able to obtain the ultimate power. I will then be able to truly leave this world and enter the vast cosmos outside."
It had come to this point.
He was clear that this vast world they lived in was merely a small hidden corner of the cosmos.
"But our epoch is too weak. Currently, there isn't even a single person who can lift the stone door, much less step on the flight of stairs." Paragon Emperor Xu shook his head inwardly.
"Hong long long ~"
Rumbling sounds came from the distant Ancient Shrine.
Paragon Emperor Xu's senses were extremely sharp. The ripples from the void made him notice it in advance. This caused his expression to change, "What is going on? What happened to the Ancient Shrine?"
Sou.
He turned into a stream of light and quickly flew to the entrance of the Ancient Shrine that was tens of thousands of miles away. After all, his residence was very close.
"This …" Paragon Emperor Xu looked at the scene in astonishment. He saw a black-robed teen with a divine sword on his back turn into a giant. He was using both hands to lift the stone door, causing it to rumble. The black-robed teen's powerful body emitted an aura that was like a shockwave that struck the entire hall, causing it to rumble continuously.
Paragon Emperor Xu's pupils constricted. From the aura emitted by the other party, he knew how strong his body was. It was simply unimaginable!
Moreover …
"Lift the stone door?" Paragon Emperor Xu was incomparably shocked. Up till now, no one in this epoch had been able to lift the stone door. It was simply too heavy.
"He is a guest retainer of Feixue?" Paragon Emperor Xu had long obtained information regarding 'guest retainers of Feixue' and immediately recognized him.
*****
When Dongbo Xue Ying lifted the stone door, it was also raised above his head. His eyes could see through the spatial ripples in front of him to see the scene behind the stone door. Behind the stone door was an even more majestic hall. In the center of the hall, there were stone steps that continuously led upwards. At the very top, there was a black gourd.
The black gourd was only 30 centimeters tall.
At this moment, the black gourd was faintly glowing with a dark red color. Waves of terrifying heat surged out in all directions with it as the center. As the heat surged, it caused the void to distort. As the blazing heat surged, white fog could be seen in the distance. The entire gray hall was filled with white fog. Only the area near the black gourd was filled with the distorted void.
Dongbo Xue Ying wasn't attacked by the spatial ripples. However, just looking at the black gourd caused Dongbo Xue Ying to feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
The fear grew uncontrollably.
This was the difference in levels.
"What is this thing?" Dongbo Xue Ying understood that this was definitely the most terrifying item he had ever seen.
Although he saw the black gourd, Dongbo Xue Ying was constantly on guard. When Paragon Emperor Xu turned into a stream of light and arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Shrine, he naturally felt the ripples. He couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. There was indeed a silver-haired elder standing at the entrance. At this moment, the silver-haired elder had a look of astonishment on his face.
"Boom —"
Dongbo Xue Ying finally raised the stone door completely. After raising it to the highest point, the stone door was stuck.
At the same time, the spatial ripples naturally dissipated.
"Hu."
Within the vast hall, white fog surged out, causing Dongbo Xue Ying's body to stagger slightly. The surrounding temperature rose rapidly, instantly reaching a temperature comparable to the surface of the Sun.

Tomato's head is dizzy. I can only wait for a while. Please forgive me.
