96: Chapter 96 Thunder Emperor's Origin Qi, Awakening Reincarnation

Elder Dan was filled with curiosity about the legendary Longevity Altar.

Dan Chenzi did not refuse Hun Tiandi's suggestion.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky darkened. The ancient altar before them erupted with a heaven-shaking roar, and a crack nearly a hundred zhang long spread directly across the sky.

From within that spatial fissure, a ball of silver light gave rise to a gate of space.

An ancient, vast aura echoed and emanated from it.

"So this is the Gate of Longevity..."

Gazing at the gate above in the sky, Hun Tiandi asked himself softly.

The ancient gate stood between heaven and earth, its vast aura surging and spreading majestically into the distance, causing the souls of nearly everyone to tremble...

Hun Tiandi beckoned with his hand, the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast returned to the ten thousand soul banner, he put away the Blood God Child, and all the fifth-rank fierce beasts prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Teacher, this..." Hun Tiandi's expression was grave, his gaze falling upon Elder Dan.

"Scared?" Elder Dan teased. Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Rumble...

Just as Hun Tiandi was about to speak, the ancient gate of space in the sky erupted with a roar. Immediately, a gap split open between the two doors, and blinding light flashed, illuminating the Minghai Forbidden Land.

A surge of vast aura poured out, as if returning to the ancient era.

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath, his figure flickered, and he rushed into the gate of space, the dazzling light making it impossible not to close one's eyes.

"Is this the interior of the Longevity Altar?" The world was misty, and he did not notice any anomalies.

Hun Tiandi scanned his surroundings and reached out to grasp firmly. With the misty gas in his hand, he sensed: "The energy is extremely pure and remarkably dense; it is several times stronger than in the Minghai Forbidden Land..."

He was surprised to discover that these mists contained rich heaven and earth energy, exceeding his expectations.

Just then, he suddenly saw brilliant golden light in the distance, appearing as if it were the center of heaven and earth. Seeing this, Hun Tiandi snapped back to reality, his gaze burning with intensity.

"Teacher, there really is a treasure. Judging by such a magnificent display, it might just be the inheritance site of some powerful expert..."

Upon hearing this, Elder Dan's gaze also gradually grew heated.

"Kid, in the ancient times, the Longevity Altar was also known as the Heaven and Earth Tomb. It was forged by some dying experts seeking a sliver of life from heaven and earth. If they succeeded, they would live a second life, but it would require long, arduous years; if they failed, they would be buried in the altar and fall from the world..."

Although Elder Dan also hoped to obtain the inheritance of an ancient expert, he was even more aware of the dangers of an expert's tomb.

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi stared with burning eyes at the place of light, his heart even more convinced that it was where a treasure had appeared.

"Hmph, whatever treasure it is, I'll know as soon as I see it..."

A flash of heat appeared in his eyes. Silver light flashed under Hun Tiandi's feet as he dashed away, his speed as fast as lightning, heading straight toward the light.

Elder Dan shook his head slightly; based on his perception, things did not seem that simple.

Boom...

However, at this moment, a sudden loud roar erupted, as if the entire altar were trembling.

Before them was a blood-colored altar in the shape of a pagoda, resembling nine corners, with nine levels in total. Each level was eighty zhang, making a seven hundred and twenty zhang tall altar standing between heaven and earth.

Strange runes flickered on the altar, seemingly extracting mysterious power from heaven and earth, circulating ceaselessly.

"This is... a strange power?" Elder Dan reached out and grasped a wisp of mysterious power. The supreme, ultimate power caused his mind to tremble, and his soul was shaking.

"Hmm? I seem to have seen this mysterious power before... No, it's Source Qi!"

Hun Tiandi's expression was one of shock. When he had attained the status of Dou Di, he had mastered Source Qi, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

"Source Qi?" Elder Dan asked questioningly.

"Correct, it is Source Qi. A Nine-Star Dou Sheng peak expert must be nourished by Source Qi in order to successfully advance to the realm of Dou Di."

"Originally, the source of this Longevity Altar was to absorb the wisps of Source Qi from heaven and earth..."

Hun Tiandi said in horror, as if he had discovered some terrible truth.

It's no wonder there is more than one Longevity Altar on the Fighting Qi Continent; the reason Source Qi disappeared was that it was devoured by the terrifying energy of these altars, causing the Source Qi in the outside world to dissipate completely.

Suddenly, heaven and earth turned upside down, and slaughter appeared.

"Kid, run! He is about to awaken..." Seeing this, Elder Dan seemed to realize something, his aged face changing color as he exclaimed.

Strange fluctuations came from the altar before them, carrying unparalleled destructive power. Streaks of lightning twisted and turned like silver dragons weaving through, electric light bursting forth and illuminating the entire space.

It seemed as if it were about to transform into a peerless demon god.

Hun Tiandi's expression was greatly alarmed. He waved his large sleeve, and the ten thousand soul banner blocked in front of him. At this moment, a lightning tribulation actually pressed down, and terrifying lightning energy spilled out, kicking up bursts of horrifying sounds.

"Boom..."

Endless lightning intertwined and permeated. Hun Tiandi remained silent, watching the lightning before him condense, giving rise to eyes that were empty and lifeless, while streaks of blue lightning twisted and wound around, condensing into a majestic figure.

Pieces of thunder patterns, like carvings of the Heavenly Dao, were perfectly branded onto the massive body.

Bang...

Lightning as thick as a water bucket crashed down, causing ripples in space. The stirred-up heaven and earth energy roared, startling Hun Tiandi and Elder Dan.

Pfft!

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi spat out a mouthful of blood; that illusory, majestic figure had not yet fully condensed, and the supreme aura was unbearable.

If not for the isolation of the ten thousand soul banner, Hun Tiandi would likely have already collapsed to the ground.

The lightning continued to change, and within the lightning in the sky, the originally empty and lifeless eyes became lively.

Endless pressure emanated from it.

"Thunder Emperor... remnant soul... damn it..." A flash of terror crossed Elder Dan's eyes as he roared.

"Impossible? The Thunder Emperor, the founding ancestor of the Ancient Eight Clans? How can he still be alive..."

Hun Tiandi's eyes flared with blood-red light as he retorted.

"With the mysteries of the Longevity Altar, it is not impossible. This time, we have truly caused a great disaster..." Elder Dan's face was grave as he stared at the Thunder Emperor's remnant body before them.

"Later generations, disturbing this Emperor's sleep and healing, damn you!"

The Thunder Emperor's remnant soul's voice was like divine punishment, carrying a rolling roar that eroded Hun Tiandi's sea of consciousness.

Slash!

With a thought, the Crimson Sword cut across the air, severing the thunderous sound, though bursts of dizziness came from his mind.

"Who are you?" Hun Tiandi spoke, his momentum not falling in the slightest.

"This Emperor is the Thunder Emperor of the Ancient Eight Clans. Young man, hand over your soul, abandon your physical body, and be annihilated beneath the endless lightning!"

The illusory Thunder Emperor rebuked, as if heaven and earth were angry. Fortunately, Hun Tiandi's will was tough and unyielding.

"Thunder Emperor? Hahaha, you are nothing but a remnant soul clinging to life by borrowing the Longevity Altar. Your era ended in the ancient times. You went so far as to defy the creation of life and death just to remain in this world."

"It is not a bad way to continue your survival, but unfortunately, although the Longevity Altar is mysterious, it is not without a price."

"Thunder Emperor, hand over your Dou Di inheritance, otherwise..."

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi's cold, stern voice rang through this void. Every word seemed to contain the ringing of the sword dao. His words were domineering, and his actions were forceful; even with the Thunder Emperor's remnant soul before him, he regarded it as nothing.

As his voice fell, the thunder roaring across the sky in the small space seemed to come to a standstill.

"Teacher, what should we do? This is an ancient Thunder Emperor expert. Although it is said to be a fallen remnant soul, it is definitely not something I can deal with. Should we run..."

Hun Tiandi screamed frantically in his heart, urgently asking Elder Dan.

Don't look at his calm surface; in fact, he was panicking internally. Even if he and Elder Dan joined forces, they were definitely not a match.
