Both Chen Xi and Gu Yan were startled. In fact, from the moment they confirmed that the other party was the Yinglong Territory Lord Yan Bing Emperor, both of them were somewhat unexpected.
After all, this is a chaotic wasteland, like a forbidden land. Very few people have been able to set foot in it over the years. Even they, relying on the joint strength of the five poles of the Imperial Domain, forcibly opened a passage and broke in.
And how did the Yanbing Emperor achieve this point back then?
"Since you are a fellow disciple of Mr. Da, you should listen to my words, leave here now, and never set foot here again!"
Before Chen Xi and Gu Yan could react, Emperor Yan Bing, who was trapped in the icicle, spoke again, his voice low and solemn, "Here, even the Taoist master is unable to save the situation."
Chen Xi was not dissuaded by these words, but pondered for a moment and said: "Senior, you probably don't know yet, this time it is not only our Shenyan Mountain, but also the descendants of the other four major forces in the Five Extremes of the Imperial Domain.
, have also come to this chaotic ruins, the purpose is to open up a new domain and prepare for the attack on the Domain Lord Realm..."
"So, no matter what I say, you won't just leave?"
Emperor Yanbing said in a deep voice.
"good."
Chen Xi looked calm and serious: "For the path you pursue, this opportunity must not be missed, no matter how much it costs."
Emperor Yanbing suddenly sighed, feeling a little unmotivated.
"Then do you know what dangers you will encounter after you are promoted to Territory Lord?"
After a moment, Emperor Yanbing uttered two questions, his voice deep and deep, reaching people's hearts, "Do you know what kind of situation you will face if you are caught by the heretics that have survived from the previous era?"
Without waiting for an answer, Emperor Yanbing said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you."
"When you become Territory Lords, you will be captured by the heretics like prey!"
"The laws of Shinto in you will be stripped away by them!"
"The energy and energy in your body will be swallowed up by the witch beasts they raise!"
"Even your body will be used by them to become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, neither god nor devil. You will never be able to die completely for eternity!"
The voice was solemn, revealing incomparable hatred and anger, which made both Chen Xi and Gu Yan tremble with fear, and their hearts were shaken.
"You don't have to believe it, but take a look at me and you will understand that if you are caught by those heretics, you will be imprisoned on this damn 'Altar of Gods and Witches', unable to struggle or escape!"
Emperor Yanbing said in a deep voice, "I have been trapped here for eighteen thousand years. If I had not mastered a secret method that could stop the invasion of the power of the 'Witch Altar', I would have been unable to hold on and would have been taken away by them.
Follow the laws of Shinto, even to the essence, energy, spirit, and body!"
Speaking of this, there was a strong sense of sadness and unwillingness in his voice.
"But it's a pity that I can't bear it now... By then, my Shinto laws, essence, energy, spirit, and even my body will all be stripped away, and I will completely become neither human nor demon.
A monster that is neither a god nor a demon!"
Gu Yan's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but say: "Senior, how powerful are those heresies that survived from the last era?"
Emperor Yanbing was silent for a moment and said: "I can't explain clearly, but what is certain is that even if you achieve the position of Territory Lord, you will not be able to compete with them."
Gu Yan's expression became more solemn and he said, "Then why have we never encountered a being like this along the way?"
Emperor Yanbing answered without hesitation: "Only by achieving the realm of Territory Lord can we be of use to them."
The implication is that you beings in the Ancestral God Realm cannot attract the attention of those heretics.
This may seem like a bit hurtful to one's self-esteem, but it is the truth.
Gu Yan was stunned for a long time and couldn't find a word to argue.
"Let's go, leave this source of disaster before the real danger comes, and never come back again. This place... is simply not something that the ancient divine realm's cultivation world can touch!"
Emperor Yanbing once again spoke out to persuade him.
At this moment, Gu Yan's confidence could not help but be shaken, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Xi.
At this moment, Chen Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes glowing with a deep luster, looking directly at the icicles on the altar, and said: "Don't worry about anything else for now, wait until I save you first."
Let’s talk after we come out.”
"What?"
Emperor Yan Bing said, "Absolutely not! This altar of gods and witches is surrounded by the power of the forbidden tribulation. If it is contaminated even a little bit, not to mention you, even those who exist in the realm of Tao masters will die and the Tao will disappear!"
"I know."
Chen Xi nodded. At this moment, he seemed extremely calm and calm.
"No!"
However, facing Chen Xi's decision, Emperor Yan Bing seemed extremely excited, and his two words conveyed an unquestionable flavor.
This made Chen Xi startled and said: "Senior, believe me, I can definitely rescue you."
Emperor Yanbing was silent for a long time and said: "You... can really do it?"
Chen Xi said resolutely: "Okay."
"That's okay, that's okay..."
There was a sense of relief in Emperor Yanbing's voice.
Buzz~
The next moment, Chen Xi used the secret pattern of the forbidden path, which turned into invisible ripples and spread out quickly.
Now, when it comes to fighting against the forbidden tribulation force, Chen Xi is very familiar with it. In just a moment, he can forcefully break open a crack in the tightly covered forbidden tribulation force.
boom!
Almost at the same time, Gu Yan on one side moved out boldly and slashed down with his sword. His sword reached the sky and cut the icicle in two.
Bang bang, a harsh explosion sounded, and a figure rushed out of the icicle almost at the same time. It was the Flame Ice Emperor who had been trapped for eighteen thousand years.
He was wearing a dark green gown, with gray beard and hair, and a gentle and graceful face.
Phew~
However, before Chen Xi and Gu Yan had time to react, Emperor Yanbing, who had just escaped from the trap, suddenly froze up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood stain was extremely black and exuded a stench of death, which was shocking.
The next moment, Emperor Yanbing collapsed and fell to the ground. His face was pale and dull, and his whole person seemed to have had his power taken away all of a sudden.
"senior!"
Chen Xi's heart tightened. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen at such a moment.
"Don't be nervous. Being able to escape and die is a blessing to me."
Emperor Yanbing spoke hoarsely, and there was a sense of weakness in his voice. It could be clearly seen that his skin began to crack, his long gray hair gradually peeled off, and his face was covered with a layer of gray death.
"how so?"
A trace of regret welled up in Chen Xi's heart. If he had known this, he would never have taken action rashly.
"This is fate. If you are trapped in this altar of gods and witches, you will inevitably be stripped of all your strength and become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, neither god nor demon. You will live forever and never have a good death. But once you leave this altar of gods and witches, you will never die again.
Will die suddenly..."
Emperor Yan Bing actually laughed at this moment, "Comparing the two, the latter way of death is already a great blessing for me. So, you don't have to feel guilty about this. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you.
right."
Chen Xi pursed his lips, feeling complicated and not knowing what to say.
"Senior, I dare to ask you... but do you have any last words?"
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Last words?"
Emperor Yanbing shook his head, with a hint of self-mockery on his lips, "Death is already the greatest blessing, there is no regret."
As he spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a brass key. He handed it to Chen Xi and said, "This is a treasure I accidentally discovered when I was wandering into the chaotic ruins. It's a pity that I didn't have time to explore its secrets at the time.
Then he was caught by those heretics..."
After a pause, he took a few breaths, and then said: "This thing should be regarded as my thoughts, and I hope you will accept it. As for what secrets are hidden in it, you can only figure it out by yourself, remember.
Stay, be sure to leave as soon as possible..."
The voice gradually became lower and weaker, until it became inaudible.
Emperor Yan Bing had completely lost his vitality at this moment and passed away suddenly. A generation of great figures such as domain lords and emperors passed away after being trapped for eighteen thousand years.
Holding the brass key and looking at Emperor Yan Bing's peaceful and liberated face before his death, Chen Xi felt panicked and extremely depressed.
Although it was their first meeting, Emperor Yanbing showed his magnanimity as an elder from beginning to end, constantly urging them to leave, and all his words came from the heart.
This made Chen Xi feel inexplicably moved. He thought that rescuing Emperor Yan Bing would be considered a good deed, but who would have thought that something like this would actually happen!
For a moment, Chen Xi felt extremely uncomfortable and his face looked gloomy.
"Master-uncle..."
Gu Yan looked at Chen Xi with some worry.
"I'm fine."
Chen Xi took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said, "I was just thinking that if I have the chance, I must go and see how capable those heretics who have survived from the previous era are!
"
The voice was solemn and filled with determination.
Gu Yan also felt inexplicable grief and anger in his heart. A great figure in the Territory Lord Realm was trapped here and suffered for eighteen thousand years. Even if he finally got out of trouble, he would only end up with his body and soul disappearing.
Such cruel methods of torture are simply outrageous, despicable and bloody!
boom!
At this time, the strange and ancient black "Witch Altar" in the distance suddenly made a roar and began to collapse suddenly.
The earth cracked, and the entire area of a hundred thousand miles in radius collapsed at this moment, revealing an unfathomable hole like an abyss.
boom
Almost at the same time, an irresistible force of swallowing suddenly surged out from the hole in the ground, covering Chen Xi and the others in an instant, leaving no time to dodge.
not good!
The expressions of Chen Xi and Gu Yan both changed. They were about to struggle hard, but their bodies were wrapped up by the terrifying force as if they were out of control. They were dragged into the cave of the abyss, and they were instantly trapped.
No trace.
