Chapter 1791

The Path of Life and Death

He Wushang roared furiously as he held the Hundred Armaments in his hand, and then he stretched out his right hand. Instantly, the countless Warsouls around him seemed as if they'd gone mad, and they transformed into a black ray of light that flashed directly towards the enormous hand that came from the Door of Profundity.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, when the black ray of light collided with the enormous white hand, numerous explosions resounded. The black ray of light was directly suppressed by the enormous white hand, yet it didn't shatter because of this.

He Wushang's face flushed red as a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and then he couldn't help but retreat explosively.

Even if he'd utilized the Hundred Armaments, he'd actually still been completely suppressed by the enormous white hand, and this had simply exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, he felt bitter in his heart, and he regretted overestimating his ability and wanting to step foot into the Door of Profundity. After all, it contained the energy of the Heaven Dao, and it wasn't something he could enter as he pleased.

Rumble!

The enormous white hand suddenly slapped down, causing the black ray of light to directly collapse, whereas, He Wushang let out a muffled groan as he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he retreated explosively once more.

He Wushang's expression changed, and he looked towards Dou Hua and said in a low voice, "Divine Master, lend me a hand!"

The gaze of the Divine Master that was originally observing from the Central Divine Palace flickered as he nodded, and then he said to the Taotie below the Central Divine Palace, "Help him!"

The Taotie seemed to have understood Dou Hua's words, and it roared as it put down the Central Divine Palace, and then it flashed towards the enormous white hand with its right foot.

The Tao Tie was simply too huge. With every step it took on the ground, it would cause the ground to emit an extremely terrifying explosion sound. Wherever it stepped on, the ground would split apart. It looked extremely terrifying and ferocious.

Bang!

The Taotie's speed was extremely swift, and it instantly flashed before He Wushang. It suddenly opened its mouth, and a strange black hole actually appeared within its mouth. This black hole was extremely deep, and it seemed as if it could swallow everything in the world.

The enormous white hand flashed over and descended onto the black hole, and its forward momentum actually stopped because of this.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Terrifying explosions resounded from the Taotie's body, and then strands of terrifying bloody mist erupted from the Taotie's body. After that, the Taotie let out a shocking sorrowful cry.

However, the Taotie was not an ordinary creature. Although it had suffered serious injuries, the large white hand had completely stopped moving in the strange black hole.

Whoosh!

The large white hand suddenly pulled itself out of the black hole and returned to the Door of Profundity.

"Awoo!"

Taotie cried out as if it had been wronged. Then, it landed in front of the Divine Lord and whimpered.

Dou Hua's eyes were calm. He waved his sleeve and took out a large number of Celestial Desire Fruits.

The Taotie swallowed fiercely, and the grievance in its eyes immediately disappeared, revealing a satisfied look. Moreover, this Taotie was extremely unusual. Although it was severely injured by the big white hand, the injuries on its body looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

However, Tao Tie was completely unaware. Moreover, the frightening injuries on Tao Tie's body were continuously healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The strength of this beast's physical body had definitely reached an unprecedented level.

"Thank you, Divine Master!" He Wushang cupped his fists gratefully.

Dou Hua nodded and said, "The Door of Profundity isn't something we can touch. Let's wait and see."

He Wushang was stunned, and then he revealed an embarrassed expression. However, he didn't say anything and returned to the meditation cushion once more. His gaze changed indeterminately as he looked at the Door of Profundity and the figure with his eyes closed tightly below it.

Suddenly, Zhuowen opened his eyes, and then he took a few steps back. His gaze descended onto the Door of Profundity in the sky, and his gaze revealed an expression of understanding.

"Withdraw!"

Zhuowen waved his sleeve, and a shapeless ripple stretched out from his sleeve and instantly enveloped the entire Door of Profundity. This shapeless ripple was precisely the energy of the Dao Insight that Zhuowen had comprehended.

At the instant it came into contact with this shapeless ripple, the Door of Profundity suddenly trembled, and then it shrunk into a ball before transforming into a ray of light that flashed out explosively and directly entered between Zhuowen's brows.

At this moment, Zhuowen's eyes were brilliant like the stars. The strand of Dao Insight he obtained this time was sufficient to advance his Half-step Dao Insight to the first-level Dao Insight.

"According to the records in the ancient books, if one wants to comprehend Dao Insight, doesn't one directly step into the Door of Profundity?

Why didn't this kid enter the Door of Profundity earlier?

Could it be that he failed? "

Dou Hua's eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at Zhuowen who was below him. At this moment, he was able to sense an extremely strange fluctuation ripple on Zhuowen's body. This fluctuation ripple was extremely obscure, yet it gave him a rather strong feeling of threat.

There were numerous ancient books within the Chaos Temple, and there was no lack of books that introduced Dao Insights. The Door of Profundity was the foundation for comprehending Dao Insights.

During the ancient times, monstrous geniuses were born in large numbers, and it wasn't that there weren't any that comprehended Dao Insights. After the Door of Profundity appeared, those monstrous geniuses resolutely stepped into the Door of Profundity because only in this way would they be able to completely comprehend the true profundity of Dao Insights.

But Zhuowen's current situation caused Dou Hua to be inconceivable. Zhuowen had clearly comprehended Dao Insight and summoned the Door of Profundity, yet this kid didn't choose to enter the Door of Profundity.

Moreover, the Door of Profundity transformed into a ball of light that entered between this kid's brows in the end. What exactly is going on?

Could it be that this kid failed to comprehend Dao Insight this time?

It wasn't just Dou Hua, the other Heavenly Immortal Realm experts had faces filled with bewilderment as well. Obviously, they were unable to see through the scene from before.

Only Shi Ji's eyes flickered with bright lights as he seemed to have thought of something, and he fell into deep contemplation.

At this moment, the commotion on the ancient boulder had already gone completely silent, and it wasn't in a state of uproar and disorder like before. On the other hand, Zhuowen stood silently before the ancient boulder like a bamboo that stood proudly there.

Everyone in the square stared at Zhuowen with reverence. Without a doubt, the commotion caused by Zhuowen in the third level was absolutely even more sensational than the previous two levels, and even the Heavenly Immortal Realm experts were alarmed.

At this moment, there were numerous questions in Zhuowen's heart, and he muttered. "Huaxia Sky Region?"

"Zhuowen, have you comprehended Dao Insight?" Dou Hua's gaze flickered, and he asked this question in the end.

Zhuowen raised his head to look at Dou Hua and said calmly, "Lord Divine Master is knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times, so you ought to be even clearer about Dao Insight than me. I presume Lord Divine Master has guessed whether I've comprehended Dao Insight or not, right?"

Dou Hua's brows knit together slightly as he said, "According to the ancient books, one must enter the Door of Profundity to completely comprehend Dao Insight, but you haven't …"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the surroundings became much more relaxed. The meaning behind Dou Hua's words was extremely obvious. Even though Zhuowen had summoned the Door of Profundity, he hadn't truly comprehended Dao Insight.

If Zhuowen had really comprehended Dao Insight because of this, then it would really cause a mighty uproar here.

Zhuowen's gaze was calm, and he didn't admit nor deny it. On the other hand, Zhuowen's silent appearance was naturally taken as a form of tacit agreement by everyone.

The third level, the Heaven Pass, had ended, and only a little over 655 people remained amongst the 355 participants in the battle of gods.

Dou Hua floated above the Central Divine Hall and looked down at everyone below him as he said in a low voice, "44 Chaotic War Gods will be conferred during the battle of gods this time. All of you only have 601 people remaining now. If you want to obtain the title of Chaotic War God, then you must enter the top 44."

As he spoke, Dou Hua gestured with his right hand and put away the ancient boulder, and then he stomped his right foot on the ground. The enormous Taotie beneath the Central Divine Hall suddenly roared, and then it opened its bloody mouth and spat out.

A strand of black light flashed over, and it formed a black hole that revolved without end. This black hole was deep and terrifying to the point it seemed bottomless.

"The battle of gods this time is divided into three levels, two Daos, and the first is to enter the ancient times!

The first three levels are the Heaven, Earth, and Dark Barriers, and the second is the Daos. There are two paths within this black hole, and these two paths are respectively divided into the path of life and the path of death. The path of death is at the front, and the path of life is at the back. Only by traversing the path of death will one be able to obtain the path of life. "

As he spoke, Dou Hua clawed with his right claw. Instantly, an extremely terrifying aura of Death swept out from within the black hole. This aura of Death was extremely dense, and merely sensing it from afar caused one's entire body to go cold and shiver.

"Putting one's life on the line?"

Zhuowen's eyes squinted as he stared at the black hole that was releasing dense aura of Death, and he muttered in a low voice.

The moment the black hole formed, at the entrance of the Central Divine Hall, an elegant figure slowly walked over.

This figure was filled with willful confidence and unruliness. His shoulder-length hair and fluttering sleeves gave this person a free and easy charm.

"Yuan Hongwen!"

The moment this figure slowly flashed over, it instantly attracted the attention of countless gazes on the square, and it even set off an uproar.

The Divine Child, Yuan Hongwen, who descended from the heavens. Regardless of whether it was the experts of the same generation or the older generation, his name was like thunder in their ears.

Swoosh!

Yuan Hongwen walked over slowly, and finally stopped above the black hole. Then, he arrogantly looked down at the people on the square below. After that, he turned around and cupped his fists at Dou Hua, and said loudly, "Greetings to the Divine Master and Ancestors."

"As expected of the Divine Child that descended from the heavens. Hongwen is becoming more and more like a supreme expert. In the future, it won't be a problem for him to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It's even possible for him to become a True Immortal." He Wushang nodded and praised.

Not only He Wushang, but the other Heavenly Immortal Ancestors also couldn't help but praise.

Although it was just some pleasantries, Dou Hua was rather pleased in his heart. After all, Yuan Hongwen was personally cultivated by him.

"Hongwen had already passed the three trials of Heaven, Earth, and Profound before the Battle of Gods. That's why I didn't let him come out to test this time. I believe everyone won't blame me for this, right?" Dou Hua smiled.

The other Heavenly Immortal Ancestors naturally waved their hands. They naturally wouldn't go into a dead end over such a small matter.

In the square, Zhuowen's gaze fell on Yuan Hongwen, and he couldn't help but frown. The aura on Yuan Hongwen's body was much stronger than when he saw Yuan Hongwen in the crystal tower. Yuan Hongwen's cultivation had even reached the late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

It looked like the Divine Master, Dou Hua, had spent quite a bit of effort on Yuan Hongwen during this period of time.

Moreover, for some unknown reason, Zhuowen actually sensed the aura of Dao Insight from Yuan Hongwen. However, this aura was very faint. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhuowen had comprehended Dao Insight, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense this faint aura.
