Chapter 378: Ominous, Greatly Ominous!

"Ominous!"

"Greatly ominous!"

"Extremely ominous!"

"Deadly ominous!"

"Slightly ominous. Good! It is slightly ominous, and it is ominous yet auspicious."

The Bronze Immortal Palace is fraught with crises; it was once the place where the Ruthless Great Emperor went into seclusion, so Yin Qi naturally dares not barge in recklessly; he does not necessarily possess the destiny of a protagonist like Ye Fan.

If things go wrong, he could also be trapped here until he dies.

Therefore, before moving, he divined every direction, and the results left him terrified.

Fortunately, he finally found a 'slightly ominous' direction, and it was even ominous yet auspicious, meaning that as long as he survives the crisis, he can obtain a certain opportunity.

"It's over!"

Yin Qi's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with immense horror.

"Damn it, this is slightly ominous!"

This was also the source of his courage to enter the Immortal Palace.

This is Chaos Qi.

Five blood-red characters exhausted all the bitterness.

With his current cultivation, being struck by it would surely lead to his body and soul perishing.

Instinctively, Yin Qi turned to flee, only to find his legs as if glued to the ground; no matter how he exerted himself, he could not move his feet at all.

The vast copper palace is a void, endless, with no exit to be found, and there is also not a shred of Spirit Qi here.

A look of regret flashed in Yin Qi's eyes.

Yin Qi continued forward, discovering a skeleton almost every stretch of the way.

Having determined the direction, Yin Qi proceeded cautiously, and not long after, he discovered another white bone.

He did not know how long he had walked, but Yin Qi encountered hundreds of skeletons.

Yin Qi highly suspected, did these corpses starve to death here?

Cultivators can practice fasting and never need to eat in their lives, but they need to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to sustain life.

Furthermore, the more powerful the expert, the more terrifying the amount of Spirit Qi required.

It lay on its back on the ground, its jaw slightly agape, seemingly filled with desolation before death; beside the skeleton was still a line of blood-red characters: Becoming an immortal... is difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

He looked up and saw Chaos surging, rushing toward him like a tidal wave.

If he did not have a trump card, he would certainly not risk his life here for the Xuanhuang Root and Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

He continued forward, suddenly feeling the Bronze Immortal Palace begin to shake; a terrifying force like a falling galaxy suppressed him from above, giving him a feeling of suffocation.

These people who were able to break in were at least experts of the Immortal Terrace Realm or higher, yet they all died here.

If trapped for several thousand years, even a Saint would starve to death.

As for fear, there was none; he wouldn't die anyway, he would just return to the Fengshen World.

Although his true body would suffer heavy damage, it was not impossible to recover.

Just as Yin Qi prepared to close his eyes and wait for death, the Green Copper deep in his mind suddenly moved.

It swayed slightly and appeared before Yin Qi; although simple and unadorned, its light vibration swept the incoming Chaos away completely.

The Green Copper flashed and vanished, sinking back into the depths of Yin Qi's mind.

"Hoo-hoo!"

Yin Qi was stunned, exhaling a long, turbid breath.

So, this is what 'slightly ominous' meant.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only then discovering that he had arrived before two portals.

There were over a dozen skeletons before the portals, some of which had not yet decomposed, the bones crystalline, as if divine light were flowing within them.

This indicates that their cultivation in life was extraordinary, and they did not die very long ago.

These people perhaps encountered a situation similar to the previous one.

Yin Qi examined the two portals, shaped like the Yin-Yang Fish; the portal on the left was a black Yin Fish, and the portal on the right was a white Yang Fish, both resembling irregular crescent moons.

On the black Yin Fish portal was carved a 'Death' character, the strokes vigorous, the aura imposing, and the killing intent chilling.

While on the white Yang Fish portal, written with iron-hook and silver-stroke calligraphy, was a 'Life' character, its charm natural, exuding a peaceful aura, the exact opposite of the Yin Fish portal.

"The extreme of Yang gives birth to Yin, the extreme of Yin gives birth to Yang; Yin and Yang are mutually inverted, life and death swap places."

Yin Qi whispered.

He strode forward, walking toward the Death Gate.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a sound like a tsunami arrived.

Black light like an abyss surged from the Yin Fish portal, rushing straight at him, while white light flickered from the Yang Fish portal, piercing through to reach him.

The opposition of black and white, the brilliance of life and death reflecting each other, the Yin-Yang Qi swirling, covering the sky and earth, emitting a rumbling sound like an angry ocean, and like thunder echoing through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The Taiji is newly formed, life and death in opposition.

The Yin-Yang Qi is hazy; this collision is incomparably terrifying, capable of deriving all things, and also capable of leaving the world withered and silent.

Suddenly, the Green Copper piece trembled and rushed out again, fixing itself before the Yin-Yang gates; though simple and unadorned, it was as steady as a heavy mountain, instantly making the Yin-Yang Qi disappear.

When the wind calmed and the waves settled, the Green Copper piece returned to his body, and Yin Qi continued forward.

From the Yin Fish portal, a bloody atmosphere rushed toward him like the Hell of the Sea of Blood; he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, endless skeletons, hundreds of thousands, terrifying to the extreme.

But Yin Qi's gaze was firm, and he pushed open the Death Gate represented by the black Yin Fish.

Behind the Death Gate, there was no chilling killing intent, nor any bloody storm; there was only a lonely, empty path, not knowing where it extended.

Clack! Clack!

The hollow sound of footsteps echoed, like an ancient path that no one had walked for tens of thousands of years, silent to the extreme.

After walking for a full hour, Yin Qi finally reached the end.

Ahead, Chaos was hazy, and Yin-Yang Qi flowed.

This was a vast, empty hall, still cast from bronze, with a few gleaming white skeletons on the ground.

A massive "Immortal" character was carved on the bronze wall ahead, possessing an indescribable charm; it was actually written in fresh blood, branded into the bronze, the bloodstains looking as if they were new, not dried at all, with brilliant blood-red light radiating outward.

Extremely demonic and evil!

"Immortal" should be incomparably holy, so how could it be profaned with blood?

Inside the hall, Chaos surged and Yin-Yang Qi flowed; that brilliantly radiant "Immortal" character possessed an indescribable charm.

In a trance, Yin Qi had an inexplicable feeling.

He felt the surrounding Heaven and Earth become unreal, dreamlike and illusory, as if the sound of the Great Dao was ringing in his ears:

"Named, the mother of all things. Heaven and Earth have form and position, Yin and Yang have hardness and softness; their union nourishes all things and creates Shengling Sword Sword Sword Sword."

"Nameless, the beginning of Heaven and Earth. Without form or shape, emerging from nothingness, continuous and unending, like a wisp of silk, invisible and traceless, never decaying or withering; the origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of the Dao."

In his trance, he seemed to see a bright lamp between Heaven and Earth, blooming with endless charm, guiding him forward.

There, heavenly sounds and profound truths, endless methods, all appeared before his eyes; a path of Divine Light paved itself beneath his feet, holy springs gushed from the ground, golden lotuses descended from Heaven, Phoenixes danced, thousands of auspicious colors swirled, and all kinds of auspicious splendor flowed continuously.

Suddenly, the Luck Altar vibrated slightly, and Yin Qi immediately felt the illusions before him shatter, his gaze returning to clarity.

Looking at the blood-red "Immortal" character close at hand, he could not help but shiver.

A moment ago, he had been only a single step away from death.

The blood-colored "Immortal" character remained conspicuously red, eerily red, but the next moment it actually split into two halves, forming a Gate of All Wonders, yet Yin Qi did not step inside.

This Bronze Immortal Palace was too evil and strange; he dared not barge in blindly, so he quickly began to search.

Soon, not far from the Gate of All Wonders, he discovered a passageway.

The entrance was churning with Chaos, and Yin-Yang Qi flowed, but it was very unbalanced, constantly collapsing and sinking.

"Found it!"

Yin Qi was overjoyed; the entire Bronze Immortal Palace was a Forbidden Land with no way out, and only this passageway offered a chance to escape, having been punched through by the Ruthless Great Emperor back then, who had even left behind Mother Qi of All Things outside.

Yin Qi walked into the passageway, and following the uneven bronze path, he actually arrived at the Top of the Bronze Immortal Palace.
