A soft murmur came from the stone statue in front of the tomb. Zhou Wu stopped his fiery fist and took a few steps back.
The stone statue was still a stone statue. Even at Zhou Wu's realm, he couldn't sense any aura from it.
He stared at the stone statue with his red eyes. The raging fire around his body evaporated all the water in the Howling Canyon, and the cracked ground was trampled by his feet.
"I want to know the reason?"
Epochs had an end and were unchanging. However, the heavens seemed to leave a chance for the people in the epoch. It was this tomb that hid the transcendent opportunity.
The tomb did not reject anyone. It had been like this since ancient times.
Be it the demon race, the demon race, or the human race, even the Magi race, they would not reject anyone who had the ability to seize the opportunity.
Zhou Wu!
He was the only one from ancient times to the present.
If one were to look at this matter from another perspective, Zhou Wu being the first person to be rejected at the door could also be seen as a special honor.
However, he desired transcendence too much. He desired it so much that he would do anything to achieve his goal.
In order to take this step, he had sacrificed too much!
This was clearly his last and best hope, but his hope had been forcibly snuffed out.
He found it hard to accept and had no way of accepting it.
He questioned it because he wanted to resolve the doubts in his heart. It didn't mean that he would give up on this final possibility.
"Not answering?"
For a long time, the stone statue didn't communicate with him.
His eyes, which had calmed down slightly, instantly became extremely violent. Heat waves visible to the naked eye covered the sky. With him as the center, the area tens of thousands of miles around him was branded with a fiery barrier.
Everything within the barrier withered and burned, turning into a sea of flames.
The tomb was also being roasted by the flames. However, no matter how his flames surged, they couldn't shake the tomb at all. Not even the smallest spark appeared.
"Give up!"
Zhou Wu's stubbornness made the stone statue sigh. This time, Zhou Wu saw it. The sigh came from the second stone statue to the left of the tomb's main entrance.
"Why should I give up!?" Zhou Wu glared at the stone statue and roared.
"Why don't you understand? You don't have the life to transcend, so why are you so stubborn about this tomb?" The stone statue still sighed.
Not destined to transcend?
Zhou Wu laughed for some baffling reason. If others were to hear such an explanation, especially from the stone statue in front of the Transcendence tomb, they might really turn around and leave in sorrow.
However, he had never believed in fate!
Back when the Five Elements Great Emperor had been favored by the Emperor Star, someone had told him that he wasn't fated to be chosen by the Emperor Star.
What happened after that? He obtained the Imperial Star's celestial fate and sat on the throne of the God Emperor.
As for the Five Elements, who was revered by all races, he died in his own painting, and even his corpse was buried in the mountains and rivers in his painting.
Destiny had always been obtained by one's own hands!
"How laughable."
The black-faced Zhou Wu's expression was extremely ferocious. His meticulously combed hair was now disheveled. His eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, and his veins were bulging. It was a clear indication of how angry he was.
The blazing Zhou Wu made the starlight of the Nirvana Sky dim somewhat.
Even from millions of miles away, one could see the flames in the Howling Canyon soaring into the sky, and the heavy flame breath was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"What's going on with the Immortal Region?"
Countless immortals had gathered in front of the South Heaven's Gate. When they saw the blazing flames in the Howling Canyon, they felt an oppressive, suffocating aura.
They had been here when the barrier outside the tomb shattered and released the golden-red light. They could clearly sense the difference between the flames and the golden-red light from before.
"All-Seeing Eyes, look …."
The clairaudient at the South Heaven's Gate patted his brother on the shoulder, but he didn't expect All-Seeing Eyes to shrink back in fear. He didn't dare use his immortal power to peer into the Howling Canyon.
"Look at how scared you are."
He rolled his eyes at All-Seeing Eyes, then went to listen in on the situation. To his surprise, a barrier suddenly appeared around him. When he turned around, he saw the golden-robed Queen Mother of the Golden Arches walking out of the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches.
"Queen Mother of the Golden Arches!"
The immortals kowtowed. The Queen Mother waved her hand to disperse the barrier around Clairaudient, then looked at the blazing flames in the distance.
"Go back. During this time, no one is allowed to take even half a step out of the Heavenly Palace. If you disobey … then even Golden Immortals of the Great Firmament won't be able to save you. Don't even think about spying on what's going on there. All you need to do is pray that this calamity won't befall the Heavenly Palace. "
Due to the appearance of the God Emperor's tomb, those who came here were all peak experts who stood at the apex of the Divine, Yao, and Demon Realms.
This was naturally a calamity for all living beings in the lower realms.
At the same time the Queen Mother gave the order, the Underworld sent out a nearly identical one. Even if they needed to reap the souls of the dead in the near future, Soul-Reaping Envoys were not to leave the Underworld. The immortals and yao of the Endless Beast Region and the Immortal Region, who had long since left the territories outside the sacred land, also saw the blazing flames. When they felt the heavy pressure, the only thing they could do was pray that the calamity wouldn't befall them.
The only thing they could do was pray that the calamity wouldn't befall them.
"Fire doesn't suit you!"
The stone statue in front of the tomb commented on Zhou Wu's flames, which threatened to incinerate the entire world.
Perhaps fire really didn't suit Zhou Wu.
Although the flames around him looked fierce from the outside, upon closer inspection, one would realize that the fire elemental essences around him were completely suppressed by his martial power. They weren't willing to work for him.
This kind of suppression by force could cause a fatal backlash if one was careless.
"Not suited! In my eyes, there's no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. There's only submission and non-submission! "
With that, Zhou Wu used an even fiercer method to gather the surrounding fire elemental essences around him. With his overwhelming martial power, the fire elemental essences had no choice but to humble themselves and work for him.
The flames around Zhou Wu turned from orange-red to lustrous white, then from lustrous white to a bit of frost.
"Open the door to the tomb for this emperor, otherwise, don't blame this emperor for destroying your Transcendence tomb! If I'm not mistaken, the new Emperor Star should be inside. If you don't want it to die, then let me in. "
Tyrannical! Cruel! Savage!
Zhou Wu's expression was incomparably ferocious. The flames under his control became even more violent. It was as if they could burn the entire lower plane to ashes with a single command from Zhou Wu.
"Actually, your abilities are a great help against the Outerealm Celestials. Seeing that your cultivation wasn't easy to come by, I tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen at all, "the stone statue said with a sigh.
"Cut the crap. Are you going to let me in or not!?"
Zhou Wu was like a madman. As long as the stone statue didn't let him in, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice the entire lower plane for his transcendence path.
"Then go ahead and try."
The kind-hearted stone statue lost its patience with the crazed Zhou Wu. It shut its mouth after saying that.
Zhou Wu did not hesitate at all as he engulfed the entire tomb in raging flames. This time, the flames were clearly a few levels higher than the flames from before. The mountain of the tomb actually showed faint signs of melting.
"Icebound Thousand Miles."
Suddenly, a delicate shout sounded from the void.
The temperature of the fire in the Howling Canyon dropped to the extreme the moment the delicate shout appeared. Then, the flames surrounding the tomb were frozen into ice crystals.
The ice crystals fell to the ground and shattered, while the flames dissipated.
However, the flames around Zhou Wu continued burning, melting the ice crystals on the ground into water. They turned into mist, covering the entire Howling Gorge with a hazy veil.
"Silly dog, you want to destroy the tomb without asking us first?"
Accompanied by a hearty shout, a wooden pole pierced through the mist and landed on Zhou Wu's back.
The moment the wooden pole came into contact with the flames on Zhou Wu's back, it was burned to charcoal. It didn't pose any threat to Zhou Wu.
"Are you sure you can do it?" A reproachful voice appeared in the mist.
"Is this my fault? If Big Sis Su had sealed the ice on his back, would I be so embarrassing? "The person who had attacked with the pole harrumphed.
"What does it have to do with me?" A cold female voice sounded from the mist.
"How does it have nothing to do with you? I clearly told you before that my pole was an ordinary wooden pole. You had to freeze his fire while I ambushed him … Great, the opportunity for a sneak attack was wasted."
"Did I seal the fire? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll seal it for you! "
"Hey, don't go overboard! I'm the Minister of the Right, the second of the Four Auxiliary Stars. Your Star of Martial Songs is ranked fourth. "
"I think you really want to be sealed!"
Although he couldn't see what was happening above due to the hazy mist, Zhou Wu could feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly. It was as if the woman above was really going to attack her companion.
"Big Sis Su, calm down. Ahoge is just like that! Ahoge, don't provoke Big Sis Su. If you really fight, you might not be able to beat him. She's the Star of Martial Songs. Just based on his star, you should know that! "
"I can't be bothered to bicker with him. If my sneak attack didn't work, I'll end it quickly. Xiao Liuli is still waiting for me at home!"
As they spoke, the rising mist became much thinner. Zhou Wu looked up into the sky and saw four people standing in four directions above him.
"The ones below …" The one who spoke was the person with ahoge. "Hurry up and go back to your God of Heaven Mountain. This mausoleum doesn't have any good fortune for you. You should know who we are. We're this era's Four Auxiliary Stars. If you don't want to die …"
"What's the point of saying that to him?"
Ahoge was still shooting his mouth off in the sky. He didn't expect that the others had already swooped down towards Zhou Wu.
"Hey, you guys …"
Ahoge gritted his teeth in anger when he saw this. Although they were the Four Auxiliary Stars, they hadn't really interacted with them before. They had only gathered here because the previous Four Auxiliary Stars had found them with their divine senses.
His original intention was to scare Zhou Wu and pretend to be an idiot in passing.
