Chapter 1031

With the appearance of the Earth Origin Stage beings, the battle was immediately divided into two parts.

Densely packed creatures appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Among them, the number of Earth Origin Stage martial artists was in the double digits. They materialized from the lightning and charged towards the humans with thunder blades in their hands. Some of them charged towards Zi Chen.

"Spread out!"

With the shout of the Earth Origin Stage beings, the Human Origin Stage army retreated, leaving the main battlefield to the Earth Origin Stage beings.

The Earth Origin Stage beings charged forward, and what followed was an earth-shattering battle.

When a living being died, it would disappear, leaving nothing behind. However, when a human died, there would be corpses. At this moment, there were more than ten thousand corpses on the ground.

"Charge at the Thunder God Palace."

As soon as the battle started, the Earth Origin Stage beings all charged towards the Thunder God Palace.

Wherever it went, Earth Origin Stage creatures would be killed by its great power.

Seeing this scene, Zi Chen's heart ached. Living beings of this level contained an enormous amount of lightning energy. After Zi Chen absorbed it, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. Perhaps the lightning energy of an Earth Origin Stage being could help him increase his cultivation by a small amount.

Unfortunately, the lightning energy dissipated quickly, and Zi Chen couldn't catch it.

He could only follow behind the ancient race's Earth Origin Stage cultivators and kill some Mortal Origin Stage cultivators. With the help of the sword stele, Zi Chen wasn't afraid of being attacked by Earth Origin Stage cultivators. At the same time, his counterattacks were effective and sharp.

Zi Chen was controlling the Sword Sect's treasure. Everyone knew this, but the Human Origin Stage beings didn't dare to approach Zi Chen casually, fearing that they would be killed by Zi Chen.

The Earth Origin Stage beings were attacking the beings. Although they wanted to go easy, with the help of the Sword Stele, they couldn't kill Zi Chen in one hit. When they attacked again, Zi Chen had already dodged with his extreme speed, or retreated from the battle.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed through the entire battlefield. Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes fell on that sound.

They saw the body of an Earth Origin Stage warrior explode, turning into countless lightning sparks and dissipating.

An Earth Origin Stage human died.

It was an extremely cruel and dangerous battle. Even a warrior of the Earth Origin Stage could die.

It was like a chain reaction. As the first Earth Origin Stage cultivator died, two more explosions sounded. Two more Earth Origin Stage cultivators died.

When the Earth Origin Stage warriors died, the battle reached its climax. More Earth Origin Stage warriors showed up secretly and joined the battle.

This time, they were truly beginning to attack the Lightning Divine Palace.

Large amounts of lightning radiance scattered down, and even more creatures appeared. Another crazy slaughter erupted.

The group of Earth Origin Stage cultivators kept moving forward, with Zi Chen at the back. He was the only Human Origin Stage cultivator who dared to enter.

Very quickly, the group of people arrived at the entrance of the Lightning Divine Hall. However, they were unable to take another step forward.

This was because the entire door was surrounded by a layer of lightning chains. These chains were extremely powerful. An Earthly Origin Realm cultivator was caught off guard and got close to the chains. He was struck by the lightning and exploded.

The Earth Origin Realm was already an existence that was second only to the peak experts of the Heavenly Origin Realm in this world. However, even so, people like that were still dying one after another. The frightening degree of the Lightning Divine Hall had truly surpassed everyone's imaginations.

Out of the hundred thousand strong Yuan army, nearly half of them had died.

"These are lightning chains. They are extremely powerful and require great strength to break them apart." Looking ahead, an Earth Origin Stage cultivator spoke.

"Heavenly Origin Stage cultivators are unable to take action at this moment. We have to break them apart." Another Ancient repeated.

Following that, the group of Earth Origin Stage cultivators started to attack the chains in front of them. In the process of attacking, even more creatures appeared, wanting to kill them.

"Break!"

At this moment, no one held back. Everyone used their full strength. In the midst of their attacks, the chains continuously trembled and started to distort.

"Boom!"

Finally, with a loud explosion, the chains were completely shattered.

After the chains were broken, the Lightning Divine Hall appeared in their line of sight.

In front of them was a towering door that flashed with lightning and emitted a boundless might. Under the door, rows of stairs extended downwards. The entire stairs were also flashing with lightning.

On both sides of the stairs, there were two rows of guards holding long spears. They were like statues, not moving at all, as if they were petrified.

However, following the disappearance of the lightning chains, the bodies of these petrified guards suddenly flashed with lightning. Furthermore, the lightning was getting stronger and stronger. This was a sign that they were about to awaken.

Wave after wave of powerful auras were emitted from the guards. They were all Earth Origin Stage auras.

"These are the guards outside. Once we kill them, we will be able to go up." Another Ancient spoke.

"Kill!"

Amidst the battle cries, a group of Earth Origin Stage cultivators charged forward. Zi Chen followed behind them, controlling the Sword Stele to launch a sneak attack.

Going up the stairs, there were several hundred layers. The number of guards exceeded a hundred. This meant that there were more than a hundred Earth Origin Stage cultivators.

Just the entrance alone had more than a hundred Earth Origin Stage cultivators. From this, one could imagine how terrifying the Lightning Divine Hall was. It was impossible for a single power to take it down.

This was because in the Sky Martial Continent, there was no power that could take out more than a hundred Earth Origin Stage cultivators.

Zi Chen had been following behind the Ancient race cultivators. If he could attack, he would attack. If he couldn't, he would dodge. As the guards fell one by one, he would charge forward.

After killing more than a hundred guards, the human side had also paid a heavy price. The battle lasted for two days before they finally killed all the guards.

On the ground, there were many corpses. The remaining Earth Origin Stage cultivators finally reached the top of the stairs, arriving in front of the Lightning Divine Hall.

At this moment, the excitement in everyone's hearts was indescribable. This was because they were only one step away from becoming a True God. As long as they opened the door, the secret to becoming a True God would be within.

"How do we open the door?"

Everyone's gazes landed on the Ancient race cultivators.

One of the Ancient race cultivators glanced at Zi Chen and frowned. Just as everyone was wondering if the key to opening the door was on Zi Chen, they heard him say, "Zi Chen, this place is very dangerous. You shouldn't have come here."

Zi Chen glanced at the Ancient race cultivator and said, "I'm just here to take a look. If anything bad happens, I'll go back."

Seeing Zi Chen's insistence, the Ancient race cultivator nodded and didn't say anything else. Then, he drew a circle with one hand. This circle was like a teleportation channel, slowly expanding to a few meters.

The Ancient race cultivator took a few steps back and said, "Next, it's the Heaven Origin Stage cultivator's turn."

Heaven Origin Stage cultivators were the strongest cultivators in the Sky Martial Continent. Naturally, there were very few of them. Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with anticipation.

With a flash of light, a figure walked out of the circle. This was a Heaven Origin Stage cultivator, a member of the Ancient race.

This person didn't emit a powerful aura, but just standing there made the Earth Origin Stage cultivators feel extremely uncomfortable and oppressed.

Looking at the door in front of him, the Ancient race cultivator's eyes flashed. He muttered, "We're finally here. After so many years, other than the Everlasting Sect, we're probably the second to have successfully reached this place."

Back then, the Everlasting Sect had indeed succeeded in reaching this place. It was said that they had even opened this door. However, due to the problem with their method, they chose to force their way in and suffered great losses.

It was said that by the time they reached this place, they had already lost two Heaven Origin Stage cultivators and countless Earth Origin Stage cultivators. However, after the Ancient race had grasped the correct method, they had only lost over a hundred Earth Origin Stage cultivators. This loss was unbearable for a single power, but if it was spread out among many powers, this loss was still acceptable.

"The Ancient race's method is indeed effective. It's so much better than the Everlasting Sect's method." A hearty laugh rang out as another person walked out of the circle.

Soon, more than a dozen Heavenly Yuan Stage cultivators had gathered at the entrance.

The Earth Origin Stage cultivators and Zi Chen kept retreating. However, at this moment, Zi Chen was still a little confused. This was because the Ancient race cultivator's conversation with him just now seemed a little strange. Furthermore, the way the Ancient race cultivator looked at him was full of hidden secrets.

"You'll be at the back. If there's any danger, be the first to retreat. No one knows what dangers lie within. Furthermore, you have to be careful not only of the dangers inside, but also of those Earth Origin Stage cultivators."

A voice rang out in Zi Chen's mind. It was the Ancient race cultivator from before. However, Zi Chen did not know his name.

Zi Chen looked at him gratefully but did not reply.

Outside the stairs, the intense battle was still ongoing. The Earth Origin Stage cultivators on the stairs all looked up at the Sky Origin Stage cultivators who were preparing to break the door.

This time, the various powers had joined hands. It could be said that they were fully prepared.

"This time, we have to give it our all in breaking the door." The Heaven Origin Stage cultivator spoke. His tone was calm, but it was filled with a majestic aura.

Waves of energy surged out. The Heaven Origin Stage cultivators had already begun to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth.

An oppressive aura was emitted from their bodies. All the Earth Origin Stage cultivators felt that they were unable to withstand it and retreated once again.

Various lights flashed as terrifying attacks landed on the door.

After ten thousand years, the door of the Lightning Divine Hall was once again attacked.

"Boom." The energy landed, causing the door to tremble. Even the entire Lightning Divine Hall began to shake.

"Boom." "Boom."

The tremors continued as the surrounding ground began to tremble as well. At this moment, the tremors had even spread throughout the entire western region.

The group of Heaven Origin Stage cultivators attacked the door of the Lightning Divine Hall with all their might. The Earth Origin Stage cultivators and Zi Chen, on the other hand, stared ahead curiously.

They were curious as to what would appear in front of them after the door was opened.

"Boom."

After more than ten attacks, the door exploded with a loud bang. The ancient door turned into endless lightning energy and dissipated. The Lightning Divine Hall appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Just as the door was completely blown open, the living beings in the outside world disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the lightning on the Lightning Divine Hall disappeared as well.

What appeared in front of everyone was a castle. On the surface of the castle, there were still traces of lightning energy flickering. At this moment, the door of the castle opened, allowing everyone to see what was inside.

The first thing he saw were the rows of guards. They were emitting a murderous aura.

"This is the true test. Let's go."

The following battles were obviously handed over to the Heaven Origin Stage cultivators. Only they had the qualifications to become True Gods and the qualifications to enter.

The group of Heaven Origin Stage cultivators walked in one after another. After that, a battle broke out. The Earth Origin Stage cultivators did not dare to recklessly step forward. That was because the energy shockwaves from the battle between the Heaven Origin Stage cultivators were extremely frightening.
