Chapter 341: Life 'Dead Land', Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill

Yang Zhu opened his divine eye and found the stone hall shrouded on all sides by various strange runes, above and below, thick and dense.

The runes were extremely strange, exuding a taboo aura, as if they could forbid immortals and bind gods, sealing past ages and future changes.

"Indeed extraordinary."

Even Yang Zhu's divine eye could not peer into the interior of the stone hall, obscured by a mist barrier.

Just like when I spied on the life-forbidden zone before! "Vile Heavenly Sovereign, I feel uneasy about this place..."

Duan De looked left and right, feeling that something was off, but couldn't say where it came from.

Actually, when he had just arrived at the Flying Immortal Star, he already had this feeling, but seeing the lush vast heavens and having someone like Yang Zhu around, he didn't pay attention.

"Outside everywhere is dead land, of course it would make people uncomfortable."

Yang Zhu's words made Duan De and the Black Emperor's scalps tingle, and they suddenly shivered.

"Dead... dead land? How come we didn't see it..."

Duan De rubbed the goosebumps rising on his arms, shivering; he constantly went in and out of ancient tomb relics, originally dealing with the dead.

But those were visible and knowable, whereas today's situation is deep and unnoticed; without Yang Zhu's reminder, he might never have realized it.

"We didn't see any dead land when we came—what's going on?"

Out of curiosity, he still couldn't help asking.

"You'll know when we go out later."

To that, Yang Zhu didn't answer right away, just smiled, then began pondering how to enter the stone hall.

The Flying Immortal Star is where the true path to immortality in this lifetime opens; even the Emperor Sovereign of millions of years ago had calculated it.

Therefore, he laid down a staggering scheme here, sealing the Extinction Heavenly Sovereign among the flawless Nine Heavens Heavenly Sovereigns, solely to use as a living sacrifice when the immortal path opens! This is a grand maneuver, awe-inspiring, suppressing fellow Heavenly Sovereigns, and lasting millions of years at once.

The Emperor Sovereign's strength is simply unimaginable.

"This place is not inferior to Ancient Kunlun..."

After gazing a moment, the Black Emperor felt ever more terrified; the runes covering the outside of the stone hall were no less dangerous than the Great Emperor Killing Formation.

Moreover, there are many unknown taboo runes; even the Seal Immortal Six Forbidden that Ye Fan once employed pales in comparison.

"The Flying Immortal Star is equivalent to a greater life-forbidden zone; long ago no one dared set foot, and later other beings could thrive here only because someone deliberately made it so."

Yang Zhu introduced that this place, as legends say, is a life-forbidden land; even many peerless experts dare not step half a foot inside, needing to stay far away.

But strangely, later this place ceased to be eerie, and many powerful races descended, thriving here and seeking various immortal traces.

"Sealing the Flawless Heavenly Sovereign is so difficult; merely preventing his fall is already a formidable task."

Even if the Emperor Sovereign were extraordinarily capable, trying to suppress the Extinction Heavenly Sovereign while letting him survive millions of years undead is undoubtedly obsessive daydreaming.

Only by becoming immortal does one possess such means.

Therefore, later to provide more life essence for the seal, the restrictions here opened, allowing countless races to come.

Unbeknownst to them, the subterranean seal's power continually draws the life of all spirits to replenish what the seal needs.

"This humble Taoist understands: the Emperor Sovereign's brat sealed the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign here, to strengthen the seal's power, he attracted many powerful races here,

then, like the Stone Emperor and his ilk, harvested life, but concealed it so well that ordinary people could not notice."

Duan De, after several lifetimes of reincarnation, with heaven-defying means and astonishing experience, suddenly realized.

"Woof! Just like Ninety-nine Dragon Mountain, wherever it goes it drains life essence, creating dead lands everywhere,

but between the two, one drifts through the cosmos, while here it is fixed, relying on attracting other beings to descend."

The Black Emperor also reacted, feeling his scalp tingle more and more; the Ancient Heavenly Court and Emperor Sovereign live up to their fame—just how many earth-shaking deeds have they done? As for it, a fragment of the Emperor Sovereign's bronze cauldron can make people fight each other to the point of broken heads and blood.

What's more, for the Emperor Sovereign to become immortal, he mobilized the entire Heavenly Court's power to carry out an astonishing layout; only "awe-inspiring" can describe it.

"So the danger here is completely not inferior to the life-forbidden zone; we must be extremely careful."

At that moment, the Black Emperor and Duan De rallied their spirits, began full-force deduction, seeking a way to approach the stone hall.

"Follow me."

After three full days, Yang Zhu exhaled a long breath, leading the two forward along a special path, cautiously approaching the stone hall.

They did not go straight ahead; their trajectory was extremely special, sometimes advancing like a serpentine crawl, sometimes moving nine steps forward then retreating seven...

What seemed a plain actually harbored myriad killing mechanisms, far more terrifying than many deadly places combined—by thousands of times! With a step forward, the scene shifted, revealing a brown expanse; on the horizon view, a vast blood pool appeared, exuding a rich bloody stench.

They searched within for a way to break free; after a long while they finally escaped the perilous ground, but once the strange scenes faded, they found they had only advanced a few li.

Shortly after walking a few steps, the surroundings shifted, and they arrived at an unknown vast ancient star, spiritual energy misty, immortal energy drifting.

There, many immortal medicines and rare treasures grew, the lush regions teemed with divine beasts, a scene of peace and tranquility.

Moreover, at that moment consciousness would be affected, forgetting how one arrived, feeling everything before them real, gradually becoming lost...

Thereafter, they were trapped here for eternity.

Yang Zhu's divine soul was immensely strong; in just a moment, his brow blazed bright, instantly withdrawing his divine soul from here and breaking free.

"Hum..."

But the Black Emperor and Duan De were fortunate that, at the critical moment, their imperial weapons trembled, imperial might permeated, forcibly pulling their thoughts back, thus avoiding being possessed.

"Really eerie..."

The two looked at each other, both relieved after their lingering fear.

Although they knew the ahead would only grow more dangerous, they were unafraid, gritting their teeth and closely following Yang Zhu's steps, daring not to deviate the slightest.

Over a distance of merely several dozen li, they walked a full five days before reaching a few hundred meters outside the stone hall.

"Damn, it's really dangerous..."

Duan De trembled as he glanced back; many parts of his Taoist robe were already soaked with cold sweat, his violent heartbeat unable to calm for a long time.

Upon arriving here, the surrounding killing intent finally vanished; everything was so peaceful and beautiful, giving an unreal feeling.

Looking up, the stone hall towered, its height unknown in tens of thousands of feet; standing before it, one felt like a speck of dust.

"Be careful."

A reminder: Yang Zhu took the lead, advancing to the front of the Stone Hall, and with one palm blasted open the Stone Hall's gate.

"Boom—"

The huge sound reverberated, as if two massive objects were shifting, deafening; when the huge doors opened, the scene inside the Stone Hall finally came into view for the few.

Inside the Stone Hall, it was resplendent with gold and jade, divine light shining brightly, luxury reaching its peak!

The ninety-nine white jade pillars were astonishing, carved from a rare immortal material, bearing carvings of humans, birds, fish, insects, plants and scenery—all present.

Lifelike, as if they might come back to life at any moment.

Even the extremely vast floor was carved from jade stone; everything in sight was a piece of splendor, dazzling to the eye.

"Green Cauldron!"

The Black Emperor exclaimed, ahead there stood a Dao Terrace, atop which rested a Green Cauldron, sealed in place; the ancient, majestic cauldron body flowed with a mysterious substance, inhaling and exhaling the essence of the ten directions. This Green Cauldron nearly reached the rank of an Imperial Weapon, truly extraordinary!

After confirming there was no danger, Yang Zhu and the others came beneath the Dao Terrace; drawing slightly closer, they felt waves of medicinal fragrance assailing their noses, immortal qi rising, with colorful divine rosy clouds dancing…

That medicinal fragrance was in no way inferior to the Undying Medicine; inhaling even a sip almost made one drunk to death.

"Absolutely an Immortal Treasure!"

The Black Emperor's eyes glowed green, his mouth stretched to his ears, drool streaming; if not for Duan De's plump big hand grabbing him, this guy would have already rushed forward.

"Nine-turn Immortal Pill…"

Yang Zhu opened his Divine Eye, looking through the ancient surface of the Green Cauldron, he saw inside a dazzling immortal light that blazed, blinding one's eyes.

After layer upon layer breaking through the Dao Principles, his Divine Eye finally clarified the source of the immortal light: it was two pellets, as brilliant as the scorching sun, nine-colored Immortal Pills.

This place actually possesses Nine-turn Immortal Pills! Their aura is no less than that of the Undying Medicine; they were surely refined by the Emperor Sovereign in ages past, capable of letting a supreme being who has severed his own head recover his peak and live another two thousand years!

Faced with such an Immortal Treasure, even Yang Zhu was moved.

It's just a pity that there were originally three, but one of them inexplicably exploded, shattering into dozens of crystal fragments.

"Step back."

Hearing this, the Black Emperor and Duan De dared not be careless; they retreated straight to the doorway, clenching their fists, unable to wait to see the true Nine-turn Immortal Pill emerge.

"Hum"

Yang Zhu extended a hand, covering the heavens, pressing down, intending to seize the immortal pill from within the Green Cauldron in one grasp.

"Boom—"

However, the next moment the Green Cauldron trembled, sending out terrifying ripples; a hazy green mist descended, obscuring heavenly secrets, shielding everything.

Moreover, at this moment the Stone Hall stirred; the patterns on the white jade pillars flashed light, endless runes spilling out as if alive, all converging toward the Green Cauldron.

Those mountain-and-river patterns, breaking free from the engravings, instantly transformed into an Upper River spanning billions of miles, blocking behind the Green Cauldron.

"These can't stop me."

Yang Zhu's palm continued to press down; myriad paths trembled together, sending out terrifying waves that made hearts palpitate, crushing the weak and shattering everything.

The Upper River of billions of miles shattered, rapidly disintegrating; everything was destroyed, ceasing to exist.

Endless mountain ranges, tens of thousands of Dragon Mountains, at this moment Yang Zhu obliterated them with a single move, smashing them all to dust that scattered away.

"Hum—boom!"

However, many more White Jade Divine Pillars stirred, and countless Dao Principles flew through the sky, pouring into that miraculous phenomenon, instantly bursting forth with ten-thousand-zhang rays of light.

A thunderous heavenly roar sounded, the Mountains and Rivers became even more brilliant and solid, as if countless mountains and rivers had been refined by someone, and now another burst was thrown out.

"Bang!"

In response, Yang Zhu still delivered a single palm, shattering the heavens' dome, collapsing the cosmic void; crystalline immortal light shone upon the nine thousand worlds, illuminating all heavens.

The Upper River of billions of miles swayed on the verge of collapse, utterly shattered; under this powerful palm, everything was utterly destroyed and pulverized!

At his level of cultivation, if no Imperial Weapon appears, there is hardly anything that can resist.

Finally, the Upper River of billions of miles was completely shattered, quickly turning into endless rosy light that dissipated, reattaching to the White Jade Divine Pillars.

But at this moment, it was far dimmer than before.

Yet just as the Upper River was dispelled, killing intent suddenly erupted inside the Stone Hall, flooding heaven and earth; the phantoms of nine Heavenly Generals appeared, each without exception having reached Quasi-Emperor cultivation.

"Hum!"

Yang Zhu's black hair flowed like a crystal waterfall, his eyes calm; he stepped forward, overwhelmingly powerful, his crystalline palm striking out, extinguishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, turning the Three Thousand Worlds, wielding a power to transform the Dao.

"Bang!"

With a single strike, a Heavenly General possessing Quasi-Emperor cultivation was struck down by Yang Zhu's palm.

"Pfft…"

At this moment, bright red blood actually sprayed, carrying a lingering warmth.

"Is this a seal etched with essence blood?"

If Yang Zhu's guess is not wrong, the cultivation of these nine Heavenly Generals themselves is likely very strong, having risen to the peak of Quasi-Emperor.

Even the seals formed from their condensed essence blood possess the power of three or four layers of Quasi-Emperor, not to be underestimated.

Afterward, Yang Zhu faced the remaining Heavenly Generals alone; the imagined great battle did not erupt.

"Bang!"

"Pfft!"

"Screech…"

Now Yang Zhu's strength is too great; invincible among peers, he crushes all opponents, dominates the age, and every few rounds someone is beheaded by him.

This battle ended in a desolate, utterly unsurprising conclusion.

Within a hundred rounds, nine opponents of the same rank were easily slain by Yang Zhu, displaying an overwhelming, invincible might in full, glorious detail!

"Thud!"

Just as the nine Heavenly Generals fell, the Green Cauldron trembled; instantly a terrifying forbidden power poured down from within, like heavenly rivers hanging upside down, exuding an aura that made scalps tingle.

"Boom…"

Taboo Runes appeared, sparkled brightly, transformed into countless heavenly chasms that slashed downward; its power was actually not the slightest bit weaker than the revived Extreme Dao Imperial Arms! Terrifying beyond compare, its might overwhelmed the nine heavens!

At this moment, Yang Zhu held back no longer, sacrificed the Chaos Heaven Blade and the Hun Dun Chi.

The Heaven Blade hacked and slashed; the nine kinds of immortal metal moved in unison, like an Immortal King sweeping across the nine heavens; the taboo power that came to assault was instantly annihilated.

Hum!

The crystal-clear Hun Dun Chi trembled slightly, as billions upon billions of immortal radiance cascaded down, like a supreme immortal object, its might overwhelming the six directions and eight wildernesses, the nine heavens and ten earths; all living beings in the world would tremble before it.

Screech!

Chaos essence surged forth, like myriad star rivers crashing down, emitting unparalleled killing intent; with a single shock, the killing intent that swept in like a vast ocean was ground to nothing.

As Yang Zhu wielded the Heaven Blade and held the Hun Dun Chi above his head, he was mighty and invincible, like a Heavenly Emperor reborn, and he rushed forward to kill.

Those surging terrifying killing intents were shattered by his golden radiance; nothing could withstand them, they destroyed the rotten and shattered the sturdy!

If not for the Great Emperor–level guardian formation protecting this place, it would have long been unable to endure, struck down and collapsed into fragments.

Bang!

After a fierce clash, all killing intent was shattered by Yang Zhu; even the Green Cauldron was struck by him until cracks appeared.

Finally, he remained unstained, unharmed as he approached the Green Cauldron, collecting the two Nine-turn Immortal Pills and the Immortal Pill fragments.
