Cold sweat beaded on Jili Laozu's forehead. Ever since he had reached the peak of the Saint Martial realm, Jili Laozu had never encountered such a dangerous situation. The enemy was right in front of him, but he couldn't make a move. Although he felt extremely uneasy, Jili Laozu would never doubt the Evil Emperor's judgment.
Time ticked by. At this moment, Wang Chong felt like he was treading on thin ice, and all the pressure was focused on him. Bang!
Step by step, as Chief Of Wushang, Jili Laozu, and the Evil Emperor looked on, the tall, muscular, and god-like Second Generation successor stepped forward and quickly brushed past the Third Generation.
Wang Chong tried to control the Third Generation to block the Second Generation's path, but as soon as the Third Generation successor moved, Wang Chong noticed that the sword in the Second Generation's hand trembled, and he immediately gave up on that idea.
Two feet!
The Second Generation's majestic Minute Subtlety Stellar Energy invaded the Third Generation's Stellar Energy, and danger was imminent. Everyone was sweating profusely. Right now, everything depended on Wang Chong, and the slightest mistake would lead to a huge battle.
One foot!
The Second Generation successor took another step forward, and this time, he was right in front of Wang Chong, standing less than two feet away from Wang Chong. Cold sweat poured down his back. Chief Of Wushang, Jili Laozu, and the Evil Emperor all felt their hearts in their throats. The situation had become extremely dangerous, and as soon as Wang Chong gave the signal, they would immediately attack.
Even if they couldn't win, there was no time to worry.
But contrary to everyone's expectations, Wang Chong remained motionless, motionless.
"Too powerful! His strength has at least reached the mid-level of Minute Subtlety! "
Even from several inches away, Wang Chong felt an unprecedented pressure. Only when facing the second-generation successor alone would he be able to understand just how powerful he was.
To Wang Chong, the Second Successor's strength was like a bottomless abyss. Wang Chong could even sense the aura of a higher dimension through his body.
That was the source of the power of the Subtle realm.
If he wanted to surpass the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm and reach an even higher realm, he had to break through the barrier of space and rules and come into contact with the indescribably powerful space. But achieving this was extremely difficult. Wang Chong had once experienced this with the Arab War God Qutaybah, but the spatial energy at that time had been extremely unstable. On the other hand, the second-generation before him was as firm as steel.
Once more, Wang Chong felt that he was insignificant, that he was no match for him.
I can't get into a conflict with the Second Successor at a time like this!
Countless thoughts flitted through Wang Chong's mind. He closed off all his pores and sent all his energy into his dantian, spreading the Origin Immortal Stellar Energy through his limbs and over the surface of his body.
Not only that, the first layer of the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art he had obtained from the third-generation Origin Immortal Art emerged in his mind. At this moment, Wang Chong began to comprehend the mantra while cultivating the Origin Immortal Art according to the circulation patterns he had obtained from the third-generation Origin Immortal Art.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Putting aside Wang Chong's transformation, the second-generation successor stared at Wang Chong, his eyes growing more and more suspicious, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. He slowly raised his four-foot sword and was about to stab at Wang Chong.
"Not good!"
The Evil Emperor and Chief Wushang grimaced at this sight. In this situation, even if the second-generation successor hadn't sensed their energy, a single thrust of his sword would leave Wang Chong heavily injured, even if he managed to escape with his life.
"Village Chief, prepare to attack!"
The Evil Emperor sent a message into Chief Wushang's mind as he prepared to attack.
A huge battle was inevitable, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Buzz!"
Without any warning, Wang Chong's body trembled and all his pores opened. Everyone could sense the faint energy of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy emerging from Wang Chong's body.
This energy was extremely immature, completely different from the second-generation and third-generation successors, but it was undoubtedly the energy of the Origin Immortal Art.
"How could this be?!"
No one was more shocked than Jili Laozu. Before moving out, Wang Chong had given each of them a strand of Origin Immortal Stellar Energy, but it was completely different from Wang Chong's energy.
No matter how pure the borrowed Origin Immortal Stellar Energy was, it was still fake. If they weren't careful and let the second-generation successor see through it, they would be doomed. But Wang Chong's Stellar Energy was different. Although it was weak, it felt like it had been cultivated.
In this aspect, it was essentially the same as the second-generation and third-generation successors.
"Buzz!"
The second-generation successor's four-foot sword that had been stabbing at Wang Chong's body suddenly froze, and a hint of confusion appeared in his bright eyes as if he had encountered something incomprehensible.
Silence!
Absolute silence!
No one dared to breathe too loudly. Although Wang Chong's energy was identical to the third-generation successor's, no one knew if this move was actually effective.
After a long, long time …
As if finally confirming that Wang Chong was just another Origin Immortal successor like himself, the hostility in the second-generation successor's eyes slowly faded. He sheathed his sword, turned around, and walked back to the white jade throne, where he remained motionless.
Whoosh!
At that moment, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. That suffocating atmosphere that was as dangerous as a pile of eggs finally dissipated.
"Go! Let's get out of here! "
The Demonic Emperor Old Man urged. No one knew what sort of accident might occur next, and the earlier they entered the passage, the earlier they could escape danger.
The group quickly followed the order they had agreed upon and entered the passage. Even after the third-generation successor left, the second-generation successor remained motionless.
When everyone passed through safely and smoothly entered the passageway, all of them felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders, as if they had just escaped from death.
"Let's go! Only the last palace is left! "
The Evil Emperor's voice rang out in their minds.
Now that they had successfully passed through the second-generation successor's palace, their confidence swelled. If they could deceive the second-generation successor and smoothly pass through his palace, they would only need to follow the same procedure to pass through the last palace guarded by the even more powerful first-generation successor.
They were getting closer and closer to the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury.
As they continued forward, they passed through a corridor that was sixty to seventy meters long, and they quickly reached the final area. But as they walked out of the corridor, they were struck dumb.
"Ah?!"
"What's going on here? The corridor isn't behind the underground palace? "
"Is there no first-generation successor?"
… …
After emerging from the corridor, the view before them suddenly widened. Unlike the first-generation successor's palace, there was a massive space before them, shrouded in green smoke that obscured their vision.
"What's going on here?"
Chief Wushang's long brows trembled as he walked out of the palace, leaning on his cane.
The Origin Immortal Lord had six generations of disciples. Based on the usual pattern, after the third generation came the second generation, and after the second generation came the first generation. Once they passed through the final checkpoint, they would reach the core of the treasury and obtain the renowned Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art.
But the situation before them was clearly different from what they had imagined. Had the rumors been wrong? Had something happened to the Origin Immortal Lord's first-generation disciples that they had not been placed in the underground palace? Or perhaps the Origin Immortal Lord had never had six disciples?
Their minds were in turmoil, and all of them were confused.
"Hahaha, although I don't know why there's no first-generation or final palace, I'm certain that this is the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury. The Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art is definitely here!"
Loud laughter rang out as Jili Laozu stepped forward.
After so many trials and setbacks, Jili Laozu had never imagined that he would actually reach the core of the Origin Immortal Treasury.
"Careful!"
Wang Chong's heart tightened at this sight, and he had the third-generation successor step forward.
"We still haven't gotten to the bottom of this place. We can't afford to be careless."
As Wang Chong spoke, he sent out boundless Psychic Energy that flooded the entire region. A few moments later, Wang Chong was able to peer through the thick smoke and sense the true nature of this space.
This was another abyss, nearly one thousand meters in diameter. This abyss was unfathomably deep, and Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was only halfway through when he touched a cliff. The bottom of the cliff was so deep that it was impossible to see where it led to. And if he looked any higher, Wang Chong's one thousand meters would not be able to see the end.
But in the middle of the cliff, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy sensed something.
No one dared to be careless in this strange space. Wang Chong arranged for the third-generation successor to lead the way, and then he, Jili Laozu, and his master, the Evil Emperor, slowly advanced.
"It's so quiet!"
The Wushang Village Chief leaned on his cane as he took stock of his surroundings. The entire area was quiet, and there was no sign of activity other than the thick fog.
"When we came in, the second-generation successor was still floating in the air, and he didn't summon his sword. Other than us, no one else should have been here!"
The Evil Emperor said as he warily scanned his surroundings.
The second-generation successor was simply too powerful. If not for the third-generation successor's abilities, even they would have found it very difficult to pass through. A powerful mid-stage Nuance Guardian wasn't that easy to defeat. In all of the Central Plains, only a handful of people could pass through this place.
