214: Chapter 214 Ancient Realm Descends into Dust, Immortal Ancient Battlefield!

The black Qi was cleaved open from the middle.

The Sword Intent specifically targeted the Divine Soul and will; as soon as those fine threads dispersed, they were overtaken by the light of the god-slaying sword and completely annihilated.

The immortal burial coffin also descended at the same moment.

The coffin lid opened and closed, swallowing the remaining ash cleanly.

Xu Chen watched from afar and couldn't help but shout.

"Beautiful!"

Wang Hong didn't stop him this time.

Because everyone saw it: the gray stone gate had completely opened.

Deep behind the gate, a teleportation passage formed from gray light appeared.

At the end of the passage, there was a shattered firmament, ruined ancient cities, and a heavy aura of the Immortal Ancient era.

Lin Yi walked out of the imperial carriage, with the three women following by his side.

Su Yuxi's aura was more harmonious, and her Empress Dao Fruit had completely returned to its place.

Shen Qingyue's Tai Chu Primordial Origin chart was clearer, and the coldness she exuded no longer felt hollow.

Chu Wanqing's Nine Nether Lotus mark merged with the Imperial Phoenix Origin, and the sound of her imperial zither became a bit more resonant.

Between the four of them, an invisible, harmonious energy was circulating.

Chu Wanqing had just steadied herself, her cheeks still flushed, but she insisted on acting as if nothing had happened.

"Ahem."

"The gate is open."

"I contributed a lot this time, right?"

Although Xu Chen was far away, he immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Sister Wanqing is amazing!"

"All three sisters-in-Law are amazing!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Three gazes swept over him simultaneously.

Xu Chen felt his scalp tingle and immediately hid behind Wang Hong.

"Slip of the tongue."

"My mouth, it's gone rogue today."

Wang Hong moved half a step to the side with an expressionless face.

"Don't hide behind me!"

Lin Yi couldn't be bothered with him and looked up at the teleportation passage.

The aura coming from behind the gate was unfamiliar, yet also very dangerous.

Su Yuxi stood by Lin Yi's side.

"This connects to the world behind the stone gate."

"I fought my way there in my past life."

Shen Qingyue said softly:

"The Shen Family's answer is also inside."

Chu Wanqing gripped her imperial zither tightly.

"Then let's go."

"The gate is open, we can't just stand at the entrance and look around, right?"

Lin Yi twirled the god-slaying sword in his hand, pointing the blade toward the teleportation passage.

"Elder Wang."

"Bring the others and follow."

Wang Hong cupped his hands.

"Yes!"

But just as everyone was about to step into the passage, the gray stone gate suddenly trembled violently.

The teleportation light behind the gate began to shrink.

Large black patterns appeared on the edges of the passage, as if someone on the other side was trying to interfere with the teleportation.

Su Yuxi's expression changed.

"We can't delay."

"The passage is closing!"

Lin Yi looked back.

Xu Chen was sprinting while dragging the ancient desolate hall, shouting as he ran:

"Big Brother, wait for me!"

"My size isn't suitable for speed-running this!"

Lin Yi raised his hand, and the Hongmeng Chaos Qi transformed into a large hand, directly sweeping Xu Chen over.

Xu Chen flailed in mid-air.

"Fine, fine, fine."

"Now I don't have to use my legs."

Lin Yi grabbed Su Yuxi's wrist with one hand and held onto Shen Qingyue with the other.

Chu Wanqing took the initiative to hold his arm, with the imperial zither suspended by her side.

Wang Hong and the other Elders also turned into streams of light and rushed over.

The black patterns from behind the stone gate had already crawled to the edge of the passage.

The god-slaying sword let out a piercing metallic ring.

Lin Yi's eyes sharpened.

"Enter!"

He stepped into the teleportation passage with the three women.

Xu Chen, Wang Hong, and the others followed closely behind.

The gray light instantly engulfed everyone.

The stone gate vibrated with a boom.

The last wisp of black Qi probed out from the crack in the gate but was bitten by the residual swallowing power of the immortal burial coffin.

Thud!

The sound of the coffin spread out.

The black Qi dissipated completely.

The teleportation light behind the gray stone gate suddenly retracted.

The next instant, the underground palace was empty.

Only that opened stone gate remained, still trembling gently in the darkness.

The moment the gray light enveloped them, Lin Yi felt empty beneath his feet.

It wasn't falling.

It felt more like the entire world had been crumpled into a ball and then suddenly flung open.

Xu Chen's scream was the first to erupt.

"Big Brother!"

"Am I still in one piece?"

"Who stepped on my shoe?"

The next moment, everyone tumbled out of the gray passage.

Boom!

A loud crash.

The cracked earth was smashed into several deep pits.

Lin Yi landed first, spreading out the Hongmeng Chaos Qi to steadily catch Su Yuxi, Shen Qingyue, and Chu Wanqing.

Wang Hong and the other Elders followed closely.

Xu Chen rolled twice while hugging the ancient desolate hall, his head nearly hitting a broken spear.

He sat up abruptly and wiped the dust off his face.

"Good heavens."

"This teleportation passage doesn't care about the life or death of the people it's transporting at all!"

Chu Wanqing put away her imperial zither and raised her hand to brush the dust off her skirt.

"It's good enough that you're still alive."

Xu Chen looked around, his expression gradually stiffening.

"I take back what I just said."

"Being alive might not necessarily be a good thing."

Lin Yi twirled the god-slaying sword in his hand, the blade hanging low.

This world before them was far too different from the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

The firmament was gray and dark, with thick clouds clinging to the distant mountain ridges.

When the wind blew, there was no scent of grass or trees, nor the smell of soil.

Only bone powder mixed with the smell of decay, scraping against the throat and leaving a dry, bitter taste.

The ground beneath their feet was cracked with gullies.

Dried black-red blood stains still remained in the gullies.

Some places had been pierced through by Law, with charred rings around the edges of the deep pits.

In the distance, tattered battle flags were stuck obliquely into the ground.

The flag fabric had long rotted away, leaving only half a flagpole.

As the wind blew, the flagpole snapped with a click.

After hitting the ground, it shattered directly into powder.

Xu Chen swallowed hard.

"This place."

"Doesn't look like a Secret Realm."

Wang Hong's expression was grave.

"A terrifying war once broke out here."

An Elder crouched down and picked up a crystalline bone fragment from beside his feet.

The bone fragment was only the size of a palm, yet it still retained a faint trace of imperial might.

The Elder's wrist trembled.

"A quasi-Emperor bone!"

Another Elder looked further into the distance.

A huge skeleton lay there, half-buried in the soil.

The skeleton was golden-white, and its chest had been pierced through.

Even though who knows how many years had passed, the surrounding Law was still distorted.

Wang Hong's Adam's apple bobbed.

"That one, I'm afraid it had stepped into the Emperor Realm during its lifetime!"

Xu Chen immediately moved two steps closer to Lin Yi.

"Big Brother."

"I am now announcing that I am your accessory."

"No one can try to tear me off."

Chu Wanqing glanced at him.

"You certainly know how to choose a spot."

Xu Chen hugged the ancient desolate hall tightly, his expression serious.

"Sister Wanqing."

"This is called a strategic position!"

Lin Yi looked up and swept his gaze across the surroundings, activating the Primordial Immortal Pupil.

The gray and dark world was peeled back layer by layer in his eyes.

The Law here was incomplete, yet it was older than that of the Three Thousand Dao Domains.

Countless fractured Dao marks floated in the air.

Some Dao marks still carried strong repulsion; if an ordinary Cultivator of the Divine Fire Realm were to approach rashly, their Divine Soul would be shredded on the spot.

What was more troublesome was that these Dao marks were also mixed with the aura of Calamity Heaven.

Although faint, it was like rotting roots hidden in the soil.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze, his voice turning a bit colder.

"Don't wander around."

"Every step here could trigger a remnant formation."

Xu Chen had just lifted his foot half an inch, but immediately put it back down.

"Okay."

"I'll follow in Big Brother's footsteps."

Su Yuxi stood by Lin Yi's side, silver-white dao rhyme circulating around her sleeves.

She looked at the ruins of the ancient city in the distance, which were enveloped in black fog, her expression unusually tense.

"This is the world behind the stone gate."

"I have been here in my past life."

Chu Wanqing turned her head.

"You remembered?"

Su Yuxi nodded.

"Only some fragments remain."

"But I won't mistake the aura here."

She raised her hand and pointed to the ancient city in the distance.

"Back then, in my past life, I, along with the experts of the Shen Family, fought my way to that area."

"Later, the black fog spread, and the front line collapsed."

"This was once a corner of the Immortal Ancient battlefield!"
