Chapter 134: Venerable, Stop Your Steps; Yuechan Has Flown Solo

This made the creature with horns on its head begin to worry, as he had been the first one it had tried to send to his death earlier.

Now, his eyes darted away, not daring to meet Mengchen's gaze directly, and his heart pounded faintly, hoping that his silence and retreat might earn him forgiveness.

For this kind of person, Mengchen had no sympathy; since the other party wanted to send him to his death, he had nothing more to say.

Since the other party had started it, he could naturally finish it.

"You... get in there!" Mengchen raised his finger and pointed at the dark-skinned creature with horns on its head.

As soon as these words were spoken, the creature, which had been hanging its head very low, instantly looked up and said with a face full of terror: "No... no... I don't want to go to my death."

Saying this, it began to retreat into the crowd.

"Heh... you don't want to go to your death, yet you insist on others going; what kind of logic is that?" Mengchen sneered.

"Since you won't go voluntarily, then I will send you on your way."

Having said that, the Cave Heaven behind Mengchen radiated monstrous divine light, and the power of confinement was activated once again.

"No, let me go quickly, I don't want to die!" After being confined, the creature was unable to move and roared loudly.

"I'll fight you to the death." The next instant, it began to struggle desperately, wanting to break free from being passive.

The other party was an Array Formation Realm cultivator; according to his current strength, he could not confine it for long, so Mengchen seized the time, controlled the surge of Divine Power, used a massive suction force to pull the creature out of thin air, and finally, after swinging it up, kicked it into the Yehuo Gudian.

The other creatures from before had all maintained an attitude of indifference, but after that creature was kicked into the Ancient Palace, they appeared exceptionally focused, observing intently.

"It actually didn't die?" one person said loudly.

The dark-skinned creature with two horns on its head, after being kicked into the Ancient Palace by Mengchen, was also safe and sound and was not consumed by the raging fire.

"Eh... I didn't die, hahaha, that's truly great." After the creature realized this, its original pained expression of facing death instantly turned into one of pleasant surprise.

"Little bald one, I really have to thank you. I'm not keeping you company anymore, bye-bye!" The creature shouted at Mengchen, looking very pleased.

Following that, it did not linger at the huge entrance of the Ancient Palace and, under the gaze of the crowd, swaggered into it to seek opportunities.

"What is going on? Two people in a row, and neither of them died." Mengchen looked thoughtful, unable to make sense of it.

There was a trace of unwillingness in his heart; those two creatures truly deserved to die. Originally, he had thrown them in with the intent to kill, but unexpectedly, not only did they not die, but they had instead helped them successfully enter the Ancient Palace.

"Ah... I understand, it must be that the Venerables from before used their lives to exhaust the killing intent." Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted out as if they had a sudden realization.

That was a Green-Scaled Leopard, its massive body covered in green scales.

This was a Primordial Remnant, not weak in strength, at the Array Formation Realm.

As the shout fell, while everyone was noticing it, it had already flown straight into the Yehuo Gudian, its eyes releasing a fiery glow.

"Eh, it seems to be true, it is also safe and sound."

At this moment, everyone showed an expression of astonishment, because they saw that after the Green-Scaled Leopard rushed into the Ancient Palace, it was truly unharmed and did not suffer from being consumed by the raging fire.

"It seems it's true, the killing intent is really gone."

In this instant, everyone began to fly forward, the figures dense and numerous.

Following Mengchen, he greeted the Tianhu Shaonü, Yuechan, as well as Heizi and Xiyao, and they also flew forward.

Their speed was not slow, and following some other creatures, they also successfully entered the Ancient Palace without any accidents occurring.

However, at this very moment, clusters of raging fire began to rise within the crowd, and some creatures were consumed by the fire.

The reappearance of this scene sent a chill through everyone's hearts. "What exactly is going on?" Someone exclaimed in shock, and subsequently, many people released their Divine Power to deploy layers of defense, yet they did not encounter the terrifying consumption by the raging fire.

But what they found strange was that the screams around them were still incessant, and there were still people being burned into nothingness after entering.

"The ones being burned are actually all Venerables!" A careful person made a discovery.

Following this statement, everyone, including Mengchen, took a look around and found that it was indeed so; those consumed by the raging fire were truly all Venerables.

"It seems there is a restriction here; those below the Venerable level will not be harmed, but if a Venerable enters, they will immediately be burned into nothingness by the raging fire." Mengchen looked around and muttered.

For a time, upon hearing that those who died were all Venerables, those Venerables who had not yet entered did not dare to act rashly and all stopped outside.

"That was close, I almost went in." A Venerable who had stopped his momentum said.

"Damn it! What kind of damn restriction is this? Why can't Venerables go in?" There were also Venerables with faces full of anger; they had come from afar, yet they did not want to end up stopping at the door, missing out on the opportunity.

"Fellow Daoists, do not be pessimistic. Just let these juniors go and fight for it! We only need to sit here and wait for the rabbit to hit the tree." An old man with a senile appearance sat cross-legged, showing no emotion at all.

Hearing the old man's words, the angry Venerables realized, "That's right, that's right! They are destined to come out once they obtain the opportunity; at that time, we can just take it from their hands, and the result will be the same."

"Good! Then let's wait here! When the time comes, we shall each rely on our own means." A Venerable closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, saying indifferently.

These Venerables all knew that once the opportunity appeared, a great battle between them would be inevitable.

For a time, the Venerables who could not enter no longer panicked or felt aggrieved and angry; they all sat cross-legged in their own spots and began to close their eyes to rest.

Those creatures who had entered safely had already explored inside, and Mengchen and the others were among them.

Xiyao and Heizi followed Mengchen closely, and the Tianhu Shaonü also understood clearly that following Mengchen would surely lead to a great opportunity, so she also did not leave his side.

But that Yuechan Xianzi wanted to fly solo and intentionally kept her distance from Mengchen and the others; under the impact of the massive flow of creatures, they soon became separated.

Regarding Yuechan getting separated, Mengchen did not pay much attention, because he felt that no matter how big this place was, they would eventually meet again, and she would ultimately not be able to escape his grasp.

As they gradually went deeper, it made Mengchen and the others discover that this Ancient Palace was like a Fire Domain, surprisingly large, simply unimaginable.

There were mountain ranges stretching here, and even endless magma churning; being here, they only felt their skin burning with unbearable pain.

In that endless magma, magma would occasionally splash up.

As they slowly went deeper, the splashing magma turned into a scorching light and flew toward them.

"Careful! There are creatures in that magma that have launched an attack." Mengchen noticed this and reminded everyone.

Subsequently, the Tianhu Shaonü, Xiyao, and Heizi all stood ready and blocked all the light that came flying toward them.

"What kind of creatures are living in this magma?" Xiyao asked with a solemn face.

"Let me see!" Heizi and Mengchen said in unison.

The two of them stood out together, gazing at the surface of the endless magma.

At this time, Heizi did not reveal his true form but was in the appearance of a small black dog.

The creatures here would certainly not imagine that such an inconspicuous little black dog could be a cub of the Jiuyou Ao, one of the Ten Fiends.

The second chapter for today. I have a cold, so I don't plan on staying up late to write. I hope everyone understands.

I will try my best to update tomorrow's content before 1:00 PM tomorrow.
