230: Shen Lian, you are dead.

"Pfft~"

Ren Guyun and a young man of similar age fled over a hundred miles. Seeing that Shen Lian hadn't pursued them, they could no longer suppress their internal injuries, and a stream of blood spurted from their mouths.

"Junior Brother, what kind of opponent did you encounter? Why didn't you tell Senior Brother in advance?"

"Sorry, Senior Brother, this is my personal matter. I didn't want to trouble Senior Brother and Revered Master."

The man who blocked Shen Lian's killing move for Ren Guyun was named Lu Che. He was Ren Guyun's Senior Brother from the same sect and had a cultivation of Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.

Lu Che took out a jade pendant glowing with a green light, his brows furrowed. The next second, the jade pendant shattered directly, turning into dust and dissipating.

"If it weren't for the Six Yang Immortal Soul given by Revered Master to protect us and block that move, you and I would probably be dead now.

Junior Brother, where did you provoke such a powerful person? How much more are you hiding from me and Revered Master?"

Ren Guyun: "Senior Brother, please don't ask. It was my fault for causing you to lose your protective Dharma Idol this time. I will definitely compensate you when I have the chance in the future."

Lu Che: "I don't need your compensation. I just want to tell you that since we are from the same sect,

we should discuss things together. Or are you saying you don't even respect me as your Senior Brother?"

Ren Guyun shook his head: "Senior Brother, believe me, I will explain it to you later. Now that Shen Lian is not dead, I must return to Tianji Pavilion to report and rearrange the killing array."

"Tianji Pavilion?"

Lu Che was startled for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Why is this related to Tianji Pavilion? What exactly are you doing? Tell me clearly right now."

"Senior Brother, I said I would explain it to you later. Now that Shen Lian is not dead, I must return to Tianji Pavilion to discuss it further."

"You're going to Tianji Pavilion, aren't you? Fine, let me go with you!"

"Senior Brother, this really has nothing to do with you. I don't want to involve you too."

"Don't say anymore. I am your Senior Brother, and I have the right to know what you are doing."

"Fine, I'll tell you in detail on the way."

Seeing that he really couldn't get rid of Lu Che, Ren Guyun could only take Lu Che with him towards Tianji Pavilion.

At this moment, inside Tianji Pavilion, the Spatial-Temporal Shadow was replaying the scene of Shen Lian breaking through the Seven Star Pagoda Array and killing Bei Chen Huanyu and the other two in one go. His face was so grim it looked like water was about to drip from it.

"In just two or three months, Shen Lian's strength has advanced to such a degree, truly far exceeding my expectations."

"I didn't expect that even the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Array and Indestructible Dao Body, long lost since ancient times, are being used by him with such mastery.

Now it seems that to deal with him, one must have absolute strength. cultivation at the Immortal Realm and Limit-Breaking Realm alone cannot pose a threat to him."

Old Man Tianji waved his horsetail whisk, and the next moment, a phantom gradually solidified and slowly landed in front of him.

"Kaiyang, I'll leave this Shen Lian to you to kill. I hope you won't disappoint me."

The response was a biting cold wind.

Kaiyang flicked his cloak, turned and left Tianji Pavilion, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Kaiyang's cultivation is at the Peak of Limit-Breaking Realm. I believe he can definitely kill Shen Lian. However, sending Kaiyang to act like this means breaking the rule of not interfering with the Mortal World. Alas, everything is fate."

Old Man Tianji finished speaking, slowly closed his eyes, and instantly entered a state of meditation... At this moment, Shen Lian stood before the Abyss of Buried Gods, lost in thought.

Just standing at the entrance of the abyss, a vast and profound Death Qi swept towards him from within.

"The Abyss of Buried Gods, rumored to be the resting place of the gods of the Primordial Continent in ancient times.

Their resentment from their corpses never extinguished, gradually forming a pervasive Death Qi.

Death Qi can manifest various illusions. A slight carelessness can lead to a desperate situation.

Since the Abyss of Buried Gods appeared, countless Cultivators with profound cultivation have entered it but never returned alive. Hmm?"

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Lian's lips curled into a slight smile.

"The weak only complain about their environment, but how could someone as strong as I be troubled by mere Death Qi illusions?"

With that, he stepped into the entrance of the abyss.

Just as his front foot crossed the red line into the Abyss of Buried Gods, he suddenly felt a powerful and oppressive Law power emanate from all around him, forcibly restraining Shen Lian's movements.

"Law power of the Limit-Breaking Realm?"

Shen Lian frowned.

"Can it bind the pride of the Human Emperor?!"

With a deep shout, Shen Lian stomped his foot. The Indestructible Dao Body and heaven and earth root operated simultaneously, actually creating a fierce resonance with the Laws of heaven and earth.

For a time, Protective Aura surged, and the Eight Desolations trembled.

Within the abyss, waves of Death Qi seemed to sense it, transforming into Battle Intent and counter-attacking the Seal Law.

Shen Lian pushed his cultivation to its limit, and the explosive Qi waves directly scattered his three thousand strands of hair, revealing a jade-like luster.

"How can mere Law power harm Shen Lian? How can it harm the Human Emperor?"

"The so-called entry for the Limit-Breaking Realm is merely a Law for trash and ants. For me, it's just a small test on the path of the Great Dao!"

Boom—

Battle Intent blazed, and a half-god, half-demon figure slowly emerged behind Shen Lian, its eyes one red and one yellow, becoming extremely eerie.

"Break!"

With an angry roar, ominous clouds descended from the sky, transforming into a thundercloud hurricane that collided with the Law power.

Boom—

After another deafening explosion, Shen Lian clearly felt the oppressive force on him disappear.

"Hahaha, I told you, a small Law power cannot harm Shen Lian in the slightest!"

Opening his Folding Fan, Shen Lian, with a look of cold arrogance, stepped into the Abyss of Buried Gods.

At the same time, a figure appeared outside the Abyss of Buried Gods.

"Damn it, I'm half a step late. Once inside the Abyss of Buried Gods, everyone's environment is unique, and it's impossible to find him based on individual ability alone.

But it doesn't matter. I'll wait here for you to come out. If you don't die inside, then I will personally send you on your way."

Kaiyang immediately guarded outside the Abyss of Buried Gods, waiting for Shen Lian to emerge.

At this moment, Shen Lian walked before a dilapidated Daoist temple, surrounded by beggars with festering bodies, reaching out for help.

"Is this the illusion created by the Death Qi of Buried Gods?"

Shen Lian's heart stirred, and he immediately activated his Great Dao Heavenly Pupil, wanting to see through its mysteries.

However, to his surprise, when the Great Dao Heavenly Pupil was activated, the scene he saw was exactly the same as what was before his eyes.

"Even the Great Dao Heavenly Pupil cannot see through this illusion array. Then there is only one possibility: this place is not an illusion array, and everything I see is real? Is this another world that has been opened up?"

With this question, Shen Lian decided to rely on his own feelings to search for his Origin power.

"Fellow Daoist, can you do me a favor?"

Suddenly, a man in a black robe, with his face obscured, stopped Shen Lian.

"Hmm?"

With a cold hum, Shen Lian exuded a chilling aura.

"Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. I want to ask you to save someone."

"Scram!"

Shen Lian refused without even thinking.

After shaking off the black-robed man, he continued forward.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you refusing to help someone in need?"

But the black-robed man blocked his path again.
