Seeing such a shocking scene, the experts of the Peach Blossom all took a few steps back, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
They could sense that there was a barrier around the peach garden. Even so, they could still feel the heat waves from the lava.
There was also the demonic wind blowing the lava, the heavenly fire and red lightning that were so dense that there was almost no gap for them to pass through. They really did not have the confidence to survive such a dangerous place.
Even though the God Emperor's remnant soul's meaning was clear, that the opportunity to transcend in the Transcendence Tomb was after this dangerous place.
With such a tempting bargaining chip placed there, they still did not dare to show any greedy thoughts.
Transcendence was tempting, but the weight of living was actually more important in their hearts.
Didn't they seek a higher realm so that they could survive?
If they walked forward despite knowing that it was a dangerous place for the sake of transcendence, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?
Moreover, the God Emperor's remnant soul had also said that as long as they cultivated in peace in this peach garden, they would have a chance to transcend.
"This scene is really terrifying."
The Great Sage's fiery eyes trembled. Even though he had been refined by Old Lord Taishang's pill furnace, he still trembled in the face of the scorching lava.
"Thank you."
Just as everyone was shocked by this dangerous place, Hong Mo did not hesitate and stepped into the dangerous place. His movement was seen by everyone. Some looked down on him for overestimating himself, while others were shocked by his soaring heroism. In short, everyone looked at Hong Mo with different gazes. This kind of situation indeed needed someone to take the lead. Those who stayed behind would also have to judge based on Hong Mo's situation.
It was a dangerous place.
Pure white Heavenly Fire rained down from the sky, and the magma on the ground continued to erupt.
In such a doomsday-like situation, the arrogant Hong Mo looked so small and pitiful. He carefully avoided all threats, resisted the bone-piercing demonic wind, and slowly approached the end of the dangerous place.
"He's halfway through."
After an hour, Hong Mo had only walked half of the thousand-meter dangerous place.
Everyone was amazed at his good luck. He had not been buried in the magma for more than half of the way. They were also amazed at the difficulty of this danger zone. After all, Hong Mo's realm was relatively high among these people, but he still had not passed through this danger zone after such a long time.
At this moment, the Red Fiend, who was moving forward like a boat in the sea, was suddenly struck by a bolt of red lightning.
He, who was on the verge of collapse, instantly fell into the magma at the bottom. The people in the peach garden saw that he didn't even have the chance to struggle before he turned into a wisp of green smoke and perished in the magma.
"This … is he dead?"
It seemed like this thousand-meter danger zone was really not easy to pass. Even with Hong Mo's profound realm, he still had to be so careful. In the end, he still ended up with nothing left of his corpse.
For a moment, the emperor realm experts were in an uproar. They were all thinking that they would never step into that dangerous place.
"You've seen the results. If you still don't believe it, you can go over and give it a try. Of course, before that, I would like to kindly remind you that the fortune behind this danger zone is reserved for the Emperor Star. You … "
Ye Zichen didn't know why, but he saw a hint of ridicule in the God Emperor's eyes.
He naturally didn't recognize the Second Era's Master of the Stars, but the way he saw it, if he was the Emperor Star's Master, his personality shouldn't be like this. This was especially true in a moment of life and death. Even if he didn't want to bemoan the state of the universe and pity the fate of mankind, he shouldn't be joking like this.
Just as Ye Zichen was wondering what the God Emperor's smile meant, Gu Li led his two imperial emperors and An Lu into the danger zone without the slightest hesitation.
"Let's go!"
The Celestial Emperor's remnant soul's deterrence clearly had no effect on them. When the Celestial Emperor's remnant soul saw this scene, there was a flash of anger in its eyes. Just as it was about to say something, the little loli and the burly man also walked into the danger zone.
"Reckless fools."
They hadn't expected Hong Mo's death to spur even more people into the danger zone. The people in the peach garden looked at them as if they were idiots. They watched as they slowly pushed into the end of the danger zone.
Until ….
They died in the danger zone.
Gu Li and the others died.
At the very least, Ye Zichen saw Gu Li and the others die in the lava. What's more, they'd taken less time than Hong Mo, so they died a bit faster.
That was especially true of the little girl and the brawny man. Within a hundred breaths of time, they'd died in the lava.
"That bastard Gu Li died?"
Yang Jian's eyes widened. He didn't know what to say. The way he saw it, Gu Li's death was a good thing. However, he'd always believed that good people didn't live long, while bad people lived for a hundred years. He really didn't believe Gu Li could die here so easily.
He felt even more pity for An Lu. That girl with eyes so pure they seemed capable of cleansing one's soul. She'd also died in that deathtrap along with Gu Li, that treacherous villain.
"Why didn't you stop them? At least stop An Lu," said Pu Jingwan.
He didn't care too much about Gu Li's death, but An Lu's death pained him to the core.
As she spoke, Pu Jingwan glanced at Ye Zichen. She knew he'd always treated An Lu like his own little sister.
"Let's go."
They never would have guessed that Ye Zichen, who'd been silent for so long, would suddenly say something like this. The great emperors around him froze. Yang Jian and the Great Sage looked at him in disbelief.
"Ye-zi, are you stupid?" said Yang Jian helplessly. "I think staying here is pretty good. Monkey, don't you think so?"
The Great Sage glanced at the lava, then scratched his head.
"I think what Yang Jian said makes sense."
"Let's go."
Little did they know, Ye Zichen didn't listen to them at all. He walked straight into the lava. When Yang Jian and the Great Sage saw this, although they didn't want to go, since Ye Zichen had gone in, they couldn't just ignore him.
The other great emperors felt the same way. As the Emperor Star, they had to ensure his safety.
Furthermore, they also felt that Ye Zichen wasn't the type to ignore the consequences. Since he'd chosen to go in, he might have discovered something they hadn't.
"So it wasn't an illusion."
Hong Mo's death had impacted Ye Zichen somewhat, but Gu Li's death made him feel like something was wrong.
He refused to believe that Gu Li had died!
Especially after Hong Mo's death, Gu Li had resolutely chosen to enter this place. He'd even brought An Lu with him. This made him feel even more certain that something was wrong.
Earlier, when they'd been outside, Ye Zichen had assumed that what they'd seen was an illusion.
Now that he'd truly entered this place, he discovered that the yao winds, the lava, the heavenly flames, the rolling thunder, and the flashing lightning were all real.
However, compared to what they'd felt in the Peach Blossom Land, it wasn't as turbulent as he'd imagined.
The lava was scorching hot, and so was the heavenly flames. However, they weren't strong enough to harm emperor-level experts.
In that case, it was obvious that the heavenly flames weren't an illusion. However, the deaths of Hong Mo, Gu Li, and the others were fake!
"Ye-zi."
Yang Jian and the Great Sage were right behind him. They'd been so worried about Ye Zichen's safety that they hadn't paid much attention to the real situation.
"You're all here?"
Ye Zichen glanced at the people behind him. Including the Venerable of Numinous Treasure, all of Ye Zichen's alliance's experts had entered the danger zone.
"Let's go!"
"Be careful, this place …." Just as Yang Jian was about to pull Ye Zichen back, he realized that the heavenly flames and red lightning weren't as terrifying as they'd seemed.
"What's going on?"
"It seems we were set up by that God Emperor's remnant soul."
Xuan Ji watched the scene unfold before her. As the heavenly fire fell, she reached out and caught it.
The pure white heavenly flames burned on her palm, but they didn't harm her in the slightest.
"I thought the heavenly flames and red lightning were a bit strange. The white heavenly flames and red lightning aren't the ultimate manifestations of the Dao of Fire and Lightning. Hong Mo's cultivation isn't any lower than ours, yet he was struck by the red lightning and died in the lava without being able to resist at all. That's very strange."
"Indeed."
Empress Su Qingyan held a handful of heavenly flames in her hand. When they landed in her palm, they only felt warm; they didn't contain any offensive power. Then she glanced at the Peach Blossom Land behind them. The experts who'd remained behind were still staring at them in terror.
"Why did the God Emperor's remnant soul do this? What's in it for him to leave us there? As far as I know, the God Emperor of the Second Era was a man who cared for the world. He shouldn't have done something so detrimental to the Third Era. "
"The God Emperor naturally wouldn't, but what about others?" laughed the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
"Others?" The Jade Lake Palace Master and the others froze, then recalled that the God Emperor had been buried in the mausoleum. "So you're saying that this remnant soul isn't the God Emperor's remnant soul at all, but actually …." "In essence, the Second Era and Third Era could be considered the same entity. The Second Era's Master of the Stars had yet to transcend, and his auxiliary Fated Stars had transformed into the Nirvana Stars. Before the Second Era's Master of the Stars was buried in the mausoleum, he sealed the Demon Emperor away. But who knows where he was sealed? "
Asked the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
In the Primordial Era, the demons had wantonly invaded the lands of the God Realm and Yao Realm.
The Yao and Gods had no choice but to join forces to defend themselves. However, the demons were too powerful. Even though the Yao Gods had joined forces, they still couldn't stop their invasion.
Tens of thousands of races were plunged into misery and suffering.
The God Emperor, also known as the Second Era's Master of the Stars, sealed the Demon Emperor away with his own soul in order to put an end to everything.
Without the Demon Emperor, the demons fell into internal strife, while the Yao and Gods breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, the Four Great Auxiliary Stars buried the God Emperor in the Transcending Mausoleum, but indeed …. No one knew where the Demon Emperor was sealed!
"That remnant soul really is the Second Era's Demon Emperor!" exclaimed the Ocean Empress.
