Chapter 1792

Death Aura

"There are a total of 44 people in this Path of Life and Death. If you want to obtain the title of Primal Chaos War God, then you must walk out of the Path of Death and arrive at the Path of Life and Death."

As Dou Hua spoke, he waved his sleeve once more, and a white hole appeared not far away from the black hole.

White mist lingered within the white hole, and it was utterly impossible to see what was within the white hole. However, the white mist within the white hole was filled with dense and exuberant vitality. Obviously, this white hole should be the exit of the Path of Life.

"Then everyone can begin now!" Dou Hua said indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Hongwen stepped into the black hole without the slightest hesitation.

The moment Yuan Hongwen entered the black hole, his gaze faintly fell on Zhuo Wen, who was not far away, as if he had not noticed.

Zhuo Wen glanced deeply at Yuan Hongwen's figure that had entered the black hole, and he revealed a contemplative expression. Even though Zhuo Wen had already comprehended Half-step Dao Insight, whereas, Yuan Hongwen had merely touched upon Dao Insight, Zhuo Wen still didn't dare underestimate this person.

After Yuan Hongwen entered the black hole, numerous figures behind him also entered the black hole like locusts.

"My Lord … I …"

At this moment, Bi Qing arrived behind Zhuowen while feeling slightly ashamed, and he opened his mouth and stuttered.

Zhuowen glanced at Bi Qing. He knew that the reason for Bi Qing's shame was probably because he didn't pass the third stage. He persisted for 65 breaths of time before the ancient boulder, yet he still wasn't able to light up the ancient boulder and was eliminated.

"It's fine!

You should have benefited greatly from the Celestial Pool during this Battle of Gods. I'm afraid you should have a great chance of breaking through to the Quasi Immortal Realm, right? "Zhuowen waved his hand.

Bi Qing nodded, and his gaze revealed a trace of excitement. Although he didn't obtain any benefits from the ancient boulder, merely the Celestial Pool in the second stage had given him an extremely great fortune.

After staying in the Celestial Pool for 75 breaths of time, the Immortal Qi he absorbed was sufficient for him to break through to the Quasi Immortal Realm. Now, he only needed to find a place to cultivate quietly for a period of time, and he would naturally be able to become a Quasi Immortal Realm.

After dismissing Bi Qing and having him wait outside the plaza, Old Man Jue and Xue Hui arrived together.

Xue Hui and Old Man Jue's luck was pretty good. In the third trial, the ancient boulder test, the two of them managed to light up the ancient boulder at the critical moment of the tenth breath.

"The Path of Life and Death this time is full of danger. Your life is the most important thing. If you really can't do it, giving up is a wise choice," Zhuowen said calmly.

Old Man Jue Shang and Xue Hui looked at each other with hesitation.

"I still want to give it a try. The opportunity to participate in the Battle of Gods is hard to come by. I don't want to give up just like that!" Xue Hui gritted his teeth and said resolutely.

Old Man Jue's eyes lit up. He was still a bit hesitant, but in the end, he clasped his hands and said, "I'm also willing to try!"

Zhuowen smiled. "This is how a martial artist should be. Let's go!"

With that, Zhuowen took a step forward with his right foot and shot into the black hole like a rainbow. Old Man Jue Shang and Xue Hui followed closely behind.

Not long after, the remaining 601 people had all entered the Path of Life and Death. The attention of the rest of the people in the plaza fell on the white hole. They were filled with anticipation and speculation as to who would be the first to rush out.

"Yuan Hongwen is a God's Son from the heavens. He is invincible among his peers. Even the experts of the older generation are no match for Yuan Hongwen. This time, Yuan Hongwen should be the first to rush out of the white hole."

"That might not be the case. Zhuowen's performance in the first three trials was so shocking. I'm afraid he might not be weaker than Yuan Hongwen. Perhaps the first to rush out might be Zhuowen!"

"…"

Not only were the juniors in the plaza looking at the white hole, but even the Old Ancestors and Dou Hua, who were sitting cross-legged on the futons, were looking at it with anticipation.

"Dou Hua, now that the Path of Life and Death is over, are we preparing to open the ancient battlefield?" Shi Ji's eyes flickered as he asked Dou Hua.

Dou Hua nodded and said, "Yes, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. The ancient battlefield must be opened. The four battlefields and the Shattered Skull Abyss are all ready. Now, only the Nether Corpse Extremis remains. I wonder if the Lord of the Divine Tomb of the Nether Corpse Extremis will agree to open the ancient battlefield …"

Dou Hua felt a little helpless when he said this. Although he had never seen the Lord of the Divine Tomb of the Nether Corpse Extremis, he had faintly sensed the aura of the Divine Tomb when he had gone to the Divine Tomb region. The aura was so terrifying that even he felt apprehensive.

At that time, he had wanted to negotiate with the Nether Corpse Extremis about the ancient battlefield. Unfortunately, the Lord of the Divine Tomb did not respond to him at all.

The Lord of the Divine Tomb ruled the entire Nether Corpse Extremis. Without the Lord of the Divine Tomb's consent, he could not mobilize the Nether Corpse Extremis at all.

Moreover, among the six danger zones, the Nether Corpse Extremis was actually the most unfathomable danger zone. Moreover, the Nether Corpse Extremis contained the majority of the Origin Energy of the ancient battlefield. Without the Nether Corpse Extremis, the success rate of opening the ancient battlefield would be very low.

"The Lord of the Nether Corpse Extremis is an old friend …"

Shi Ji's gaze suddenly became complicated, as if he was reminiscing about something. He said in a deep voice, "After this is over, I will personally talk to that old friend of mine. The only way to uncover the truth of the ancient times is to open up the ancient battlefield. I believe that old friend knows this better than I do."

Dou Hua's eyes lit up with joy when he heard Shi Ji's words. The reason he was so accommodating to Shi Ji was not only because he feared Shi Ji's strength, but also because Shi Ji was acquainted with the Lord of the Divine Tomb. With Shi Ji's relationship, Dou Hua should be very confident in mobilizing the Nether Corpse Extremis.

"If Brother Shi's persuasion is successful, I will definitely hand over the remaining ancient texts in the Chaotic Temple to Brother Shi. However, Brother Shi must be mentally prepared. Although the ancient texts are still here, they are too damaged. I'm afraid you might not be able to understand them," Dou Hua said hesitantly.

Shi Ji nodded, "It's fine!

The ancient texts are only one of my goals. The ancient battlefield is my final goal. I will be able to find the truth and the source of the calamity from back then there. "

Dou Hua's eyes flickered as he nodded, but he did not answer Shi Ji.

… …

In the pitch-black space, there was an endless amount of mist, which contained an extremely dense death aura.

The instant Zhuo Wen stepped into the black hole, he found himself in such an environment. Moreover, the deathly aura was like maggots in a tarsal bone, surging towards him in succession, attempting to burrow into his body through all the apertures on his body.

"Death …"

Zhuowen allowed the surrounding deathly aura to burrow into his body without stopping it at all.

Zhuowen was very familiar with this deathly aura. He had comprehended the Laws of Death in the second forbidden area of the third layer.

The second forbidden area's environment was somewhat similar to this place, but the deathly aura here was much denser than the second forbidden area.

The moment the deathly aura burrowed into Zhuowen's body, invisible ripples spread out from Zhuowen's body.

Under the effect of the invisible ripples, the deathly aura shook and surged into the invisible ripples like a cat that had tasted blood.

"Dao follows nature. Everything contains the Dao, and this deathly aura is no exception!

Moreover, my Dao Insight contains a portion of the Laws of Death, so I'm probably even closer to this deathly aura! "

Zhuo Wen smiled faintly as he strolled leisurely through this space filled with the aura of death.

If anyone else saw this, they would definitely be dumbfounded because they had tried every means to resist the deathly aura after entering this place. Moreover, every step they took was difficult, but Zhuowen was actually so relaxed. He was not affected by the deathly aura at all.

Zhuowen looked at the surroundings and noticed it was pitch black, causing his brows to knit together slightly, and he didn't see the figures of Old Man Jue and Xue Hui.

"Looks like entering this place is probably random. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xue Hui and Old Man Jue who entered with me to be separated from me. But this place is extremely strange, and my Divine Sense is actually unable to detect the distance to this place." Zhuowen frowned slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

"Let's go deeper. It's impossible that there's nothing here!"

As he spoke, Zhuowen raised his right leg, and then he was like a ray of light that instantly vanished on the spot.

Moreover, Zhuowen noticed that when he circulated his Dao Insight, the surrounding deathly aura seemed to be seething as it suddenly poured into his body and fused into the Dao Insight he absorbed from the Door of Profundity earlier.

It wasn't just that, along with the deathly aura fusing into his Dao Insight, Zhuowen noticed that his comprehension towards Dao Insights was slowly speeding up. Zhuowen knew that he would be able to completely comprehend this Dao Insight in a few days, and at that time, he ought to be able to smoothly attain first-level Dao Insight.

After he experienced this sort of benefit, Zhuowen's gaze was filled with excitement, and he simply let go of all restraints and started to fearlessly absorb the terrifying deathly aura in the surroundings.

If someone saw Zhuowen's appearance at this moment, the person would surely be greatly shocked because the deathly aura around Zhuowen surged, and the deathly aura was like a storm that bore into Zhuowen's body successively, causing it to form a black colored storm that ceaselessly roiled around Zhuowen.

Because the deathly aura around Zhuowen was truly too much, even with Divine Sense, it would probably be difficult to detect the true appearance of Zhuowen within the deathly aura.

The speed of the black colored storm was extremely swift, and it flashed forward like a shuttle.

After around the time for half an incense stick to burn, Zhuowen noticed that an iron chain bridge had appeared before him, and there was boundless black water beneath the bridge.

If one looked carefully, one could notice that numerous white colored skeletons were floating within the black water, and these skeletons had savage appearances and didn't move in the slightest.

At the instant Zhuowen arrived at the entrance of the iron chain bridge, he noticed that there was a figure that was ceaselessly moving forward at the center of the iron chain bridge.

Moreover, along with the process of this figure moving forward, the skeletons beneath the bridge actually moved abruptly, and they actually flashed out of the water and flashed towards this figure.

Hmph!

A cold snort sounded out from this figure, and then countless illusory weapons appeared around this person. There were all sorts of sabers, spears, and swords as they whistled past, and it was extremely terrifying. For a time, it blocked off all the skeletons that flew over from the surroundings.
