Chapter 7

After a long while, the Human Emperor's aura dissipated.

Obviously, this was merely a seal he left behind.

And there was no intent of his left behind; otherwise, perhaps a dialogue across space could have occurred.

The seal undone, the greatest secret of the Ying Huo Gu Xing lay right before his eyes!

Gu Xuan sacrificed the Sun Stone Pagoda, suspending it above his head.

Having reached his current realm.

Apart from the Life Forbidden Zones, there was no place in this universe that could be considered a Forbidden Ground.

Obviously, the palace before him absolutely possessed an aura similar to a Life Forbidden Zone.

Boom!

A wave of Imperial Path aura, ferocious and baleful to the extreme, rushed at his face.

Gu Xuan reached out a large hand.

Like a millstone, he compressed and refined this incomparably dense baleful Qi.

In the end, it transformed into a pitch-black-like-ink Sha Dan.

Although it had no use for Imperial Path Figures, it was absolutely superior to ordinary Quasi-Emperor Forbidden Artifacts.

Sacrificed at a critical moment, it could heavily injure a Quasi-Emperor.

The filthy Qi dissipated, and the situation inside the great hall had already become clear.

Gu Xuan fixed his gaze, his eyes instantly widening.

In the magnificent palace, there was a corpse of an Imperial Path Expert!

The body was half-destroyed, even the skull had missing parts, and there were quite a few fragments of flesh and blood around!

A figure of the same level as him had fallen here!

He had fought with Supremes many times, deeply knowing that aura; the flesh and blood absolutely belonged to an Imperial Path Expert.

However, by now the Blood Essence was not plentiful, the Imperial Path Laws gradually worn away.

That supreme majesty gradually dissipated.

Inside the entire palace, only that unique aura remained.

But this did not mean there was no power left.

It was just because Gu Xuan was a figure of Supreme level.

Otherwise, even if a High-Level Quasi-Emperor came, they would have to drink hatred on the spot.

This was absolutely not mere talk.

Compared to true Dao Achievers, the gap with Quasi-Emperors was still unimaginable.

Gu Xuan fixed his gaze, carefully examining.

The owner of this corpse, although the body resembled a human form, was absolutely not of the Human Race.

He had horns on his head, his body covered in golden scales, six arms and two legs.

Which Ancient Emperor was this?

Gu Xuan searched his memory, finally recalling seeing a similar Ancient Race in an Ancient Scripture.

God Chi Ancient Emperor?

The God Chi Clan, also a kind of the Primordial Myriad Races.

Although their clansmen were few, each was powerful in strength, with a fierce reputation.

This clan was originally rarely seen even in the Mythological Era; by the current Desolate Ancient Era they were almost completely extinct.

Unexpectedly, this clan's Ancient Emperor had actually fallen here.

No wonder in later generations, this clan thoroughly declined.

On the Immortal Path, how many desolate bones?

Gu Xuan let out a light sigh.

Thirty Emperors across ten thousand ages, how many Sages turned to dust?

One can only say, this universe is flawed, the Immortal Dao hard to accommodate!

His thoughts flowed, thinking of the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, this Immortal Path would inevitably be discovered by more people.

Later, the Undying Heavenly Emperor would discover this place.

Naturally, he would not let go of the God Chi Ancient Emperor's Imperial Path flesh and blood.

Even later, the Immortal Mausoleum, Di Fu, and other Forbidden Zones might also come here, and another world-shaking Battle would occur.

Thinking of this, Gu Xuan no longer hesitated.

He circulated his magic power, collecting the God Chi Ancient Emperor's Remnant Body.

Rather than leaving it for the Undying Heavenly Emperor to devour, naturally it was better to put it to another use himself.

After this action was completed, the baleful Qi inside the palace instantly became empty.

Without corpse fragments and shattered bones, the internal aura became clear and bright by much.

Gu Xuan paced around the great hall, he discovered something.

The hall's material itself was hard and special, built from Divine Stone.

Although precious, it was not rare; the main reason it could block Imperial Dao Array Patterns was that the whole was covered in Imperial Dao Array Patterns.

However, this was not what Gu Xuan was concerned with.

His eyes shot out two beams of golden light like substance, directly penetrating the ground beneath the great hall.

The next moment.

Boom!

The ground in the depths of the burial ground cracked open, magma surging forth.

A Chaos Cave appeared!

Within it, there was undying Immortal Light!

Gu Xuan let out a light breath.

The greatest secret of Ying Huo Gu Xing!

A node of the Immortal Path!

According to legend, this may have been opened up by Huang Tian Di during the Immortal Ancient years.

However, time is too far distant; ancient history has grown blurred.

Gu Xuan's heart throbbed intensely.

Unlike other Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors, he knew the peculiarity of this Immortal Path!

Strange World!

Other Immortal Paths might be a dead end.

But this one is absolutely different.

If this node is opened, one can enter a Strange World containing Immortal Dao Essence.

Immortal Dao Essence, or rather, Undying Matter.

In the future, in the Post-Desolate Ancient Era tens of thousands of years later.

Wushi Great Emperor and Undying Heavenly Emperor entered that world from here and achieved Longevity.

Until several hundred thousand years later, Ye Fan and Ruthless Female Emperor and others arrived, finally breaking into the Immortal Domain!

Gu Xuan fell silent.

Carefully comprehending this train of thought.

The Immortal Path node before his eyes is absolutely crucial.

Because this is one of the extremely few passages in this universe that can truly lead to immortality.

He slowly moved forward, approaching to observe.

Only to see within the Chaos Cave, Immortal Light hazy, Dao Principles overflowing, mysterious and profound.

A slight sensing revealed what seemed to be True Dragons soaring, Immortal Phoenixes circling, Vermilion Birds flying skyward...

All are living beings of the Immortal Domain!

However, Gu Xuan knew clearly that these are all manifestations of Chaos Dao Principles, not real Immortal Spirits.

The passage at this time had not closed, extending extremely deep.

Far unlike later generations, where only several hundred zhang of depth remain.

He tried blasting a strike inside.

Not using full force, merely probing.

Rumble—

The Chaos Cave was unfathomably deep, with no reaction.

Gu Xuan continued increasing his force.

He was very careful, not wanting to trigger excessive fluctuations.

After all, this place is very close to Honghuang Ancient Star, which is Lan Xing.

Although Honghuang Ancient Star has Great Emperor Dao Arrays, possibly even Immortal Dao Arrays guarding it.

But he did not want to create unnecessary complications.

Suddenly.

Boom!

An unidentified object fell out from the depths of the Chaos Cave.

This is clearly the remnant body of another Imperial Path Expert!

Crystalline flesh and blood, even golden bones.

Its damage is even more severe than God Chi Ancient Emperor's, only the main torso remains, and in a half-destroyed state.

What could cause a Human Path Supreme's body to be worn down to this extent?

Gu Xuan's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

He could clearly sense two distinctly different Imperial Path fluctuations on this remnant body.

One fluctuation came from God Chi Ancient Emperor.

The other should be from the body itself.

The truth of the matter has been more or less revealed.

Back then, two Supremes engaged in a God War here.

The ending was indeed bleak and desolate.

Why not venture the Immortal Path together, instead of fighting to mutual destruction?

Gu Xuan was slightly puzzled.

However, the specific truth has long become unknowable.

Too much time has passed; ancient history has perished into dust.

All of the two Supremes has been annihilated in the ruthless years.

Ten thousand ages — just how many secret histories have sunk into oblivion?

Gu Xuan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Only by achieving immortality, only by achieving longevity, can one withstand the ruthlessness of time.

He shook his head and put away this Imperial Path remnant body as well.

Whether refining it into an Imperial Dao Puppet or refining it into essence blood, both were of great use to him at this moment.

He gazed intently; the Chaos Cave was deep and unfathomable.

Although there were faint light rain dancing and immortal spirits appearing and disappearing, ultimately it looked like a dead end.

Only Gu Xuan knew this was not a dead end.

At the end of the passage lies the Strange World!

There was no hesitation whatsoever.

The next moment, Gu Xuan's figure moved.

He did not immediately act to bombard the Chaos Cave, but instead exited the Small World and returned to the skies above Ying Huo Gu Xing.

Afterward, he raised his hand and plucked a star from the starry sky to refine, temporarily replacing Ying Huo.

Then with a sweep of his wide sleeve, he collected the Ying Huo star.

Afterwards he crossed the Endless Void, a single leap spanning hundreds of star systems, heading for the Universe Borderlands.

Finally, he brought Ying Huo Gu Xing to a desolate Dead Zone.

This place was too desolate; almost no one would notice this place.

Blessings to all you big shots, health and peace!
