Chapter 712 - Slaughtering the Saints

The surroundings were a wasteland. The mountain walls were like mirrors and were extremely steep. The sky was completely grey. There was no color other than despair, and it gave off the feeling that there was no life left in this place.

Here flowed an extremely ancient and ancient aura. It was as if everything had returned to its most primitive form. There was no civilization, and only bloodthirsty slaughter. The atmosphere was extremely wild.

In this place, there was even a mysterious power that bound all battle qi to a terrifying level.

This is a place of enlightenment for the ancient sages, restricted by all. You don’t have to be afraid of it, unless another powerful ancient sage comes here to be unrestrained. Otherwise, anyone who possesses this unrivaled divine ability will be suppressed and turn into an ordinary person! The greedy old man said.

“Yes.” He looked in front of him, and saw an ancient stone mountain gate. There were a few bones at the gate, and they were all dressed in the symbol of ‘reincarnation’. They had died in front of the gate, causing Xuanyuan to frown.

He looked at the mountain gate. It was fifty to sixty feet tall and twenty to thirty feet wide, and it seemed very simple. There were two palm grooves on the gate, neither too big nor too small.

“It seems like the Ancient’s Cave of Enlightenment that Wu Sha mentioned is here. How do I open it? Could it be that you want me to press my hand on it?” What was going on with these corpses? Their bones are completely intact, and they didn’t suffer any injuries. Could it be that even at the moment of their death, they still haven’t opened this mountain gate? " Xuan Yuan was doubtful.

“You must be careful. This place is full of mysteries. A normal and inconspicuous place will usually have great dangers. You must not be careless. This sect is definitely strange.” This was especially true for the sages of the ancient sects like Samsara. Every single one of them had dared to assassinate the ancient emperor at that time, so their strength had transcended the mortal world. Naturally, there was no need to talk about the place they comprehended the dao. The cause of these corpses most likely had something to do with this mountain gate.

The door was connected to the entire mountain of desolation, it was incredibly sturdy, one could see that it was created by someone with a great divine ability. To be able to carve out a cave in such a place, one could only imagine how powerful that person was, one could only imagine what kind of existence this mountain of desolation was, but it was definitely not at the level of any strange stone, at least, it did not have the strength of an ancient sage, it was difficult to break through. This was the feeling of a Xuanyuan.

He took a deep breath and pressed his hands into the grooves of the two palms above the mountain gate. They fit perfectly, and the moment Xuanyuan placed them into his hands, he suddenly felt a cold sensation enter his body through his palms, followed by the feeling that his entire being was about to be blown out by a huge force. A terrifying killing intent surged, as though ten million sharp swords were rushing into his body.

At the same time, Xuanyuan Wentian’s heart sank into an unprecedented ethereal state, a reflection of his own will. At this moment, although his body and mind were suffering from excruciating pain, Xuanyuan had long since been mentally prepared, and his heart was calm and peaceful. From the back of his head, three blurry images of a lotus flower lamp appeared, one in the past, the other in the future, three mysterious lotus flower lamps automatically protecting Xuanyuan’s surroundings!

Regardless of how strong his killing intent was, regardless of whether it was the collapse of heaven and earth, my heart did not move, and my Xuanyuan arms did their best to circulate the ‘Infinite Body’, to dissolve the killing intent contained within the stone door, using my physical body to withstand the pain, as though the pain added to my body had nothing to do with me. Xuanyuan’s heart was still extremely calm, as if someone was cutting my body an inch at a time with a knife.

The three lotus lamps emitted a clear light, coiled around his body, protecting him from other inexplicable attacks. Facing the boundless killing intent, Xuanyuan Wentian’s heart remained as calm and fearless as ever as the muscles on his body squirmed. He twisted his waist and a powerful burst of energy spread through all four directions, passing through his palms and pushing open the mountain gate.

“Boom, boom …”

The simple yet heavy mountain gate was pushed open by Xuanyuan Po with all his might. Only one person could pass through it. At present, that was the extent of Xuanyuan’s strength.

The instant Xuanyuan pushed open the door, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been completely used up and his back was covered in sweat. This was him challenging the limit with his pure physical body, and Xuanyuan felt an indescribable tiredness in his heart.

I understand, this mountain gate is not something that can be pushed open with true strength. One must use mental strength, a type of mental strength that is extremely important in the face of endless killing. The greedy old man exclaimed.

It seems that the master of this ancient cave has put in a lot of effort in order to find a legacy for himself. It seems that there will be a test later on, if you can pass this test, then you will be able to obtain the inheritance of this saint. The previous few corpses were all shocked for a moment, and then their souls were completely destroyed by that endless murderous intent.

“Hmm …” Xuanyuan also had the same feeling. Although it was very dangerous, the will of Xuanyuan had been activated even more, and it was imperative that the legacy of the Sage Immortal be taken care of. Looking at the three mysterious lotus lamps that automatically protected their owner, Xuanyuan was very happy, because this place had locked down everything. He did not have a single trace of dou qi in his body right now, yet these three lotus lights could actually protect their owner, in Xuanyuan’s eyes, they were filled with mystery.

Behind the mountain gate, there was a long path. It was over two zhang in height and over ten zhang in width, but no one knew just where it led to. On the two walls of the path, there was a faint glow of phosphorescent fire.

“Hiss …” The greedy old man said in shock, “The owner of this ancient cave is extremely terrifying. Take a careful look at these phosphorous flames!”

After the greedy old man reminded him, he then carefully examined the four walls of phosphorous fire. There was actually an extremely terrifying evolution of the Great Dao on the fire, turning it around, and it seemed to be a trace left behind by a transformation of the Dao. It was just like how the first generation ‘Jadefallen King’ did not turn out to be a true transformation of the Dao after the death of the Dao, so Xuanyuan was shocked and did not understand what was happening.

“What’s going on? Why are there great paths running on top of these phosphorous flames? If I were to be contaminated by these phosphorous flames, I’m afraid that they would be burnt to ashes.”

Xuan Yuan did not dare to approach the Phosphorous Flame. Fortunately, when he had entered earlier, he did not touch the seemingly harmless Phosphorous Flame, but in reality, it contained a terrifying and fearsome might.

Phosphorescence is derived from the decay of corpses, and the Great Dao contained within these phosphorous flames is at least at the sage realm. There are even the rotting corpses of ancient sages that returned to nature, and evolved from them. One must know that the corpses of ancient sages can last tens of thousands of years and remain immortal, yet they were turned into Great Dao phosphorous flames by the masters of this ancient cave.

Even if the Devouring Emperor was reborn, compared to the owner of this ancient cave, he would at most be able to have a draw. It has to be said that the owner of this ancient cave was able to kill even the most ancient sages, and not just one or two of them!

“…” He had never imagined that these phosphorous flames were actually produced from the bodies of characters of the First Sage Realm, or even those of ancient sages. This caused Xuanyuan to be even more careful, and now, Xuanyuan finally understood why these three Mysterious Lotus Lamps would automatically protect their owner.

Here, he could hear his own footsteps, as well as his own breathing. He could also hear the sound of his heartbeat, what he was about to face, made it difficult to predict, because the owner of this abode was too terrifying, comparable to a dynasty’s emperor. This was the heritage of reincarnation.

If he could acquire the legacy of the Slaughter Saint, then he would definitely benefit a lot of people.

In all, Xuan Yuan had taken 1,296 steps in the tunnel. Not one step, not one step, not one step more.

As he reached the end of the path, he saw a brand-new heavenly passage. There were countless dazzling sword glows, and they were countless. Sword intent overflowed into the heavens. If a person were to be caught in this, they would be torn to shreds in an instant.

Seeing this scene filled with terrifying killing intent and sword intent, Xuanyuan was once again stunned.

How many years had it been since the death of a Slaughter Saint? How could he have left behind such a terrifying sword intent? Could it be that this was another kind of test for his own disciples?

Tens of thousands of sword intents interweaved, emitting a deafening clanging sound, as if the entire world was about to be torn apart. Xuanyuan, just approaching the edge of the heavenly passage, gave off a feeling as if it was about to disintegrate.

“This is, this is a battlefield where one kills a saint and an ancient sage, using their sword intent to fight to the death.” Xuanyuan Po felt a strange sensation from the sword light that filled the sky and his eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

“That’s right. Only by staying within it will you be able to understand where their sword intent is. However, first, look at their appearances. Their intentions are to comprehend. If you feel a certain amount of confidence, then go ahead and give it a try.” The greedy old man reminded.

“…”
