In practically an instant, Yang Jian and the Great Sage appeared on either side of Ye Zichen.
The Spiritual Energy in their bodies surged. Although the two of them did not release their Spiritual Energy, everyone could feel the heavy pressure in this narrow chamber.
Quite a few experts who'd rushed over looked up at the two groups of people who were about to clash.
"Isn't that the demon emperor, Kui Lin? What's he doing here? "
"Isn't that obvious? Who wouldn't be interested in transcendence?"
"Who on earth dares oppose the Demon Emperor? The God Emperor?"
Everyone in the underground chamber looked over. Most of the people who spoke were emperors, people who hadn't yet reached the Imperial Emperor realm but still wanted to try their luck.
In their eyes, the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors were supreme existences.
Those who dared to go against people of this level were only people of the same realm as them.
"He doesn't seem to be the God Emperor. If I'm not wrong, that's Ye Zichen, who's risen to fame in recent years. I think the tenth Divine Mountain is his territory."
Some sharp-eyed people recognized Ye Zichen. Those who didn't recognize Ye Zichen seemed to understand when he mentioned the tenth Divine Mountain.
The nine Divine Mountains had existed since the beginning of the god race, and nothing had changed in billions of years.
The tenth Divine Mountain's appearance wasn't just a shock to the gods; it was a huge blow to the yao and demons as well.
Those who hadn't known about Ye Zichen's enmity with the Demon Emperor now understood. Alliance Head Ye, who'd risen to fame in recent years, seemed to have a deep grudge against the Demon Emperor.
Otherwise, as soon as they met, the two sides wouldn't have drawn their swords. The lower-level emperors were dumbfounded. They were afraid that if the emperors started fighting, they'd be caught in the crossfire. The secluded seniors only glanced at this indifferently before withdrawing their gazes. They had already passed the age of watching this kind of excitement. In their hearts, their only hope was to find the Transcendence Tomb.
To find the slightest opportunity to break through their shackles.
"It seems he's the one we're looking for."
Not far away, a lolita-like girl stood beside a burly man with a smile on her face. Her tender little face rippled with maturity that did not match her age.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's him." The burly man nodded. "Pay close attention to him in the future, but it's not bad. At least he has many experts around him, so he doesn't need us to be his nanny." The girl squinted her eyes and smiled, then looked away from Ye Zichen. Her expression returned to that of a young, innocent girl. When the brawny man saw this, he couldn't help but endure.
He couldn't help but shiver.
…
…
Demon Emperor Kui Lin.
With his reputation, even if his appearance didn't cause a commotion, it would at least attract attention.
To Ye Zichen's surprise, he'd silently appeared behind Ye Zichen. No one noticed him until he spoke.
"Don't be too nervous." Kui Lin laughed and shrugged, then took a few steps back. "I have no intention of attacking Alliance Head Ye. If I really wanted to, you'd be looking at his corpse right now."
These words were true!
No matter how Kui Lin had obtained his position, his strength was not to be underestimated. No matter how fast Yang Jian and the Great Sage reacted, they were still far too slow for someone like Kui Lin.
If he'd wanted to, Ye Zichen would've been lying in a pool of his own blood.
Ye Zichen was still standing there, unharmed. That meant Kui Lin really had no intention of attacking.
Suddenly, another group of people emerged from the underground chamber. As soon as they appeared, they caught everyone's attention.
Ye Zichen and the others looked behind them and saw that the newcomers were the Sea Emperor, the Fox Empress, and the others.
"What a pair of good dogs."
Su Qingyan glanced at Jiao Hai and Tie Tan, who stood by the Demon Emperor's side. The relationship between the Demon Race and the Demon Race had always been hostile. Although the relationship between the three races was ambiguous, in terms of distance, the relationship between the Demon Race and the Human Race was closer. No matter what, in the Primordial Era, the demons had wantonly plundered the yao and humans' territories. It was only after the yao and humans joined forces that the demons were defeated.
They retreated.
Jiao Hai and Tie Tan were the rulers of the Yao Realm, yet they'd ignored their old grudges and joined forces with Kui Lin.
How shameful!
"Don't talk so arrogantly about us. The End of an Era is a place where only the fittest live. Didn't you, the Yao and Sacred Clans, submit to humans as well? "said Jiao Hai disdainfully.
"Jiao Hai, we're not here to argue about this."
Kui Lin reached out and stopped Jiao Hai, then glanced at Ye Zichen. He knew full well that Ye Zichen held the final say.
Ye Zichen didn't know what Kui Lin's goal was, but since he wasn't in the mood to fight, that was exactly what Ye Zichen wanted to see.
He shook his head at the empress, then glanced at Yang Jian and the Great Sage.
Only then did they retract their auras. Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes.
"I never would have guessed the Demon Emperor would be interested in this as well!"
"Alliance Head Ye, who wouldn't be interested in transcendence?" Kui Lin laughed heartily. "Alliance Head Ye, aren't you interested in this place as well? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way here, would you?"
Ye Zichen smiled but didn't explain. There was nothing to explain to Kui Lin. Rather, he was interested in what Kui Lin had just said.
"What did the Demon Emperor mean just now?"
"I just think your vigilance is too low. This place is fraught with danger. If things go on like this, I'm afraid you'll lose your head." Kui Lin assumed Ye Zichen was asking why he'd appeared behind Ye Zichen but hadn't attacked.
"You misunderstand, Demon Emperor. I wanted to ask what you meant when you said Zhou Wu couldn't enter?" said Ye Zichen.
This time, Kui Lin froze. He hadn't expected Ye Zichen to still have no idea what was going on outside.
"Alliance Head Ye, you still don't know? It just so happens that the Ocean Emperor and the others are here, so they can explain it to you. I'm just here to say hello. Alliance Head Ye, you seem to be on guard against me, and my people don't like interacting with you. Farewell."
With a smile, Kui Lin led his people to where most people were gathered. The people who'd gathered there instinctively made way for him.
Ye Zichen watched them leave, then turned to the Ocean Emperor.
"Why can't Zhou Wu enter?"
"It's strange, actually."
The Ocean Emperor explained the situation to him. The more Ye Zichen listened, the more puzzled he became.
Anyone could enter, but Zhou Wu couldn't.
"Zhou Wu did everything he could to transcend, but in the end, he wasn't fated to do so. How laughable," sneered Great Emperor Bi 'an.
He wasn't fated to do so!
Ye Zichen didn't know why, but he felt like he'd heard this from someone else before, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
However, it was a good thing Zhou Wu couldn't enter. There were too many people he needed to watch out for.
Without him, he'd have less time to pay attention to him.
Little did he know, right outside the tomb ….
"Ice's Sorrow!"
The once blazing Howling Canyon had now turned into a world of ice. The mournful cold wind mixed with ice and snow howled around the Howling Canyon. In front of the tomb stood a man whose entire body was burning with flames. At this moment, his face and body were covered with wounds.
Fresh blood flowed from the wound, but not long after it flowed out, it was frozen into ice crystals.
The person burning with flames was Zhou Wu. Compared to the flames that seemed to burn the world to ashes in the beginning, the flames on Zhou Wu's body were a lot dimmer.
The Domain that he had released was also destroyed and smashed to pieces.
It was clear that the lofty God Emperor, Zhou Wu, had fallen into a disadvantageous position.
"Eat this daddy's stick!"
The biting frost froze Zhou Wu's movements somewhat sluggish. Gou Yuzhan, with ahoge on his head, grasped an iron staff that could change its size at will. His eyes flashed with ferocity as he swung it at Zhou Wu's vitals.
Gou Yuzhan was confident that if he swung his staff, Zhou Wu wouldn't be able to retreat. Even if he didn't die, he'd be gravely injured. To his surprise, as the staff descended, a barrier appeared around Zhou Wu, blocking the fatal blow.
"Reinforcements have arrived."
Gou Yuzhan retreated a hundred meters and looked around vigilantly. The others slowed down their attacks and scanned their surroundings with their divine senses.
No one!
There wasn't even a single living thing within a million miles, let alone someone they were wary of.
"It's you?"
Zhou Wu narrowed his eyes at the stone statue, his face still dripping with blood.
"Leave. You won't be able to enter. If you want to force your way through, with the starlight of our Four Auxiliary Stars here, you have no chance of winning against this generation's Four Auxiliary Stars, "said the stone statue in front of the tomb.
"Heh …."
Despite his grave injuries, Zhou Wu didn't lower his arrogant head.
His gaze swept across the tomb that bore his last hope, then he looked at the four Auxiliary Stars that were surrounded by surging starlight and surging auras.
Even if he didn't want to retreat, he still had to adapt to the circumstances.
He probably wouldn't be able to force his way in!
"I admit defeat."
Zhou Wu unwillingly pursed his lips and nodded his head. His scattered hair and scarlet eyes made him look extremely miserable.
The supreme Celestial Race Emperor had been defeated!
"Open the barrier and let me return," said the stone statue. "You can leave now, but before you go, I want to give you a piece of advice," said the stone statue. "Transcendence isn't fated with you. No matter what methods you use, you won't be able to enter the Transcendent realm. I advise you to give up. The era is about to end. Even if you can't transcend, you're still an outstanding talent in the Three Realms.
You are already an outstanding talent in the Three Realms. The Terminus needs an expert like you. Let go of the obsession in your heart, and perhaps your future will suddenly become clear. "
The stone statue tried its best to persuade Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu's expression contorted uncontrollably.
