Chapter 259: Crash Him to Death

The Heavenly Palace, turned into a tiny particle, jumped rapidly in the void, its speed extremely fast.

The first layer of the Nine Abysses Divine Domain was incomparably vast, with a radius of over a million *li*, filled everywhere with dense primitive forests, among which inhabited various fierce beasts left over from ancient and even primordial times.

If it were an ordinary person, this would be a fierce domain.

But for experts who had survived thunder tribulations, this was an undeveloped virgin treasure land.

It was just a pity that the first six layers of the Nine Abysses Divine Domain had long been scoured countless times by the Daoist sects of Ancestor God Mountain, leaving almost nothing of value.

Not long after, the Heavenly Palace traversed hundreds of thousands of *li* and arrived at the center of the world.

The Nine Abysses Divine Domain had nine layers of space, and deep in the center of each layer, there was an abyss leading to the next layer.

On the boundless plain, there was an abyss.

Below this abyss, it was pitch black, with black air currents flowing slowly, and he did not know where it led.

The Heavenly Palace plunged straight into the abyss, and the rolling blackness, resembling black water, wrapped around the Heavenly Palace. The surrounding light dimmed instantly, as if entering a pitch-black night where one could not see one's fingers.

This was Sinking Sand Black Water, heavier than mercury and possessing extremely strong corrosiveness; it was a good material for refining evil Dao artifacts.

However, materials had no good or bad methods; the key was how one used them.

Yin Qi opened up a small space in the Heavenly Palace's small world and drew a large amount of Sinking Sand Black Water from the outside.

This thing was extremely rare in the Great Thousand World, so since he had come, he naturally had to collect some; perhaps it would be useful in the future.

The Heavenly Palace continued to sink, and he discovered that there were actually living beings in this Sinking Sand Black Water, and the varieties were quite numerous, which was truly amazing—it was truly the wonder of creation.

He did not know how much time had passed when the Heavenly Palace finally reached the bottom.

Rumble.

Passing through the bottom, the pitch blackness vanished instantly, and it was clear and bright again, the world vast, only the flow of time was even slower; they had arrived at the second layer of the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

This second layer was no different from the first layer; except for the slower flow of time, the terrain and landforms were about the same.

The Heavenly Palace did not stop and continued to rush toward the central continent.

The abyss in the center of the second layer was filled with endless liquid resembling corpse water, with a pungent stench, emitting rolling foul air, possessing incomparably strong corrosiveness; even if a piece of steel were thrown in, it could be completely melted instantly.

This corpse water was too disgusting, so Yin Qi did not collect it.

Soon, the Heavenly Palace entered the third layer.

…………

This third layer did not have the bright sunshine of the first two layers, but was gloomy, filled everywhere with gray mist, dark as an abyss hell.

Fleeing all the way here, the Ancient Rashomon finally stopped.

Inside the Ancient Rashomon, three people with majestic auras stood side by side; they were the Zhou Grand Ancestor, the Origin God, and Pope Xu Feihong.

Thanks to the *I Ching*, the Zhou Grand Ancestor and Xu Feihong had both survived seven thunder tribulations and become Creators; the Origin God had also walked out of the Divine Kingdom, becoming a living person, and also possessed the cultivation of a Creator.

The Ancient Rashomon was equivalent to the level of the Imperial Heaven Jade Seal, much worse than the Dark Star and the Six Paths Brahma Wheel, but its combat power could compare to them, entirely due to the credit of these three Creators.

Apart from this, there were also experts from the Essence Temple and its subordinate countries in this Ancient Rashomon, totaling nearly a hundred people.

The lowest cultivation level among them was a Ghost Immortal or Martial Saint.

The Origin God's expression was solemn; he was a sturdy man in his upper body, and his lower body resembled a dragon or snake.

Wearing a long robe of water-shedding brocade, his long hair tied up, he said in a deep voice, "As expected of a King of Artifacts, it is truly too terrifying. The three of us are all Creators, and there are nearly a hundred Martial Saints and Ghost Immortals, yet before the Boat of Creation, I fear we cannot even withstand a single blow."

Xu Feihong and the Zhou Grand Ancestor both had lingering fears.

Fortunately, the Ancient Rashomon was the weakest and the least dangerous, so it was not targeted by the Boat of Creation.

Otherwise, if they had been crashed into by the Boat of Creation, at least half of this group would have been casualties.

The Zhou Grand Ancestor sighed, "No one expected that the Boat of Creation would be completely repaired. Next, with Emperor Qian's ruthlessness, I fear he will continue to hunt us down."

The Origin God and Xu Feihong both tightened their expressions.

Xu Feihong's eyes flashed with sharp light, and he said solemnly, "The Supreme Dao still needs us to contain the Great Gan, so it is unlikely they will watch us be killed. However, to be safe, let us leave first. Moreover, there are countless treasures here; if we can refine them into the Ancient Rashomon and raise the Ancient Rashomon to the level of a King of Artifacts, then we will not have to worry."

Hearing this, the Zhou Grand Ancestor said fiercely, "If it weren't for that damned Yin Qi who snatched my Sky City, we would not be so passive today. But having said that, why hasn't he appeared?"

The Origin God and Xu Feihong were also surprised.

Logically speaking, all parties had come, so it was impossible for Yin Qi not to come.

Just at this moment, Yin Qi's voice entered the Ancient Rashomon: "Hahaha, sorry to trouble the Grand Ancestor, I have arrived, why don't you all come out and meet me?"

Hearing this, the three of them changed color and looked outside the Ancient Rashomon, only to see a crystal-like Heavenly Palace suspended in the void not far away.

On the roof of the Heavenly Palace's main hall, Yin Qi stood with his hands behind his back.

"Sky City!"

"Yin Qi!"

Although its appearance had changed greatly, the Zhou Grand Ancestor still recognized that it was his Sky City.

The Origin God and Xu Feihong were seeing Yin Qi for the first time, and both revealed solemn expressions.

A person's name is like the shadow of a tree.

A peak Human Immortal plus seven thunder tribulations, possibly even eight thunder tribulations—how could one not fear him?

"Crash him to death!"

The Zhou Grand Ancestor, the Origin God, and Xu Feihong exchanged a glance and all exerted their full strength to drive the Ancient Rashomon, while the other Martial Saints or Ghost Immortals also crazily poured their blood energy and spiritual power into it.

Hum! Hum!

The Ancient Rashomon emitted a humming sound, resembling a door panel being held by someone, and slammed fiercely toward the Heavenly Palace.

In single combat, none of them were his match.

But gathering the strength of everyone to drive the Ancient Rashomon with full force, there was a chance.

The Heavenly Palace was the original Sky City; although it had been refined again, it was estimated that its power could not be much stronger.

"Overestimating your own strength!"

Watching the Ancient Rashomon crashing over with aggressive momentum, Yin Qi sneered.

He returned to the Heavenly Palace's small world and drove the Thunder Pool with all his might. Instantly, the Heavenly Palace erupted with brilliant divine radiance; streams of light and runes flickered across the city walls, and then it collided head-on with the Ancient Rashomon.

Boom—!

The Ancient Rashomon was like a small wooden board being kicked away, and shrill, miserable screams echoed from within.

Except for the Great Ancestor of Zhou, the Spirit of Vitality, and Xu Feihong, everyone else suffered a backlash; either their heart meridians were severed or their primordial spirits collapsed, and they all died unnatural deaths.

As for the Great Ancestor of Zhou and the other two, they were also not lightly injured.

"Ah! An Artifact King! You actually refined an Artifact King!"

The Great Ancestor of Zhou shouted in terror, unable to believe it.

"Flee!"

The Spirit of Vitality and Xu Feihong both revealed expressions of terror; they abandoned the Ancient Rashomon directly and fled in different directions.

The Ancient Rashomon had been severely damaged; if they did not abandon it, they would certainly be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Rather than that, it was better to scatter and flee.

Three people, three directions.

If they were lucky, perhaps two people could still survive.
