Chapter 4729
Chapter 4729
This was a unique space, filled with an extremely oppressive aura.
There was a gap in the sky, and a black light fell down. It was like a mist, but also like a drizzle, giving people a sense of oppression.
After coming here, Zi Chen finally understood why Lei Di said the dead spider creature might have something to do with this place. Zi Chen felt a familiar aura between the two.
Furthermore, entering this place had weakened his control over the rules by a bit.
This was obviously not a good discovery.
Lei Zhenke's eyes were fixed on the gap. Perhaps this was the passage to another world.
Chung Ho was also very curious about this passage.
However, most of the people's attention was on the Black Tower below.
That was the Tower of Confinement that Lei Di said had a total of seven floors.
He did not open it, nor did he go in.
There were many people standing under the tower. They were originally looking around the Tower of Confinement, but with the appearance of the High King, they all turned their attention to this side. Those who recognized the High King all bowed to him.
No matter what, the High King was the leader of the eighteen Kings.
Those who recognized the High King were all Kings. As for the other demons, they did not recognize him. But when they saw the King next to them bow, they all reacted and bowed to him.
Zi Chen looked at these people, but did not see Gedun. It seemed that he had not arrived yet.
The High King nodded to the crowd and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
"This is the Tower of Confinement. Let's see what's inside."
The High King smiled and walked forward. Wherever he went, the crowd parted. Many people looked at Zi Chen and the others, as if they were curious about who they were and why they could stand next to the High King.
The High King came in front of the tower door and looked at the closed door. He could feel the heavy and powerful aura from within.
"No one has gone in yet?" The High King looked around.
Everyone shook their heads. A King said, "It's not open yet. We're all waiting for the High King to take charge."
Everyone else nodded.
The Honorable King looked around and said: "Is everyone here?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all seventeen Kings are here. Only King Gedun has yet to appear. He must be delayed by something." Another King replied.
The Honorable King smiled and said: "Then there's no need to wait for him. Open it. Let's go inside and take a look. Let's see what this Pagoda of Confinement that has always existed but never appeared in the world is."
After the High King spoke, two other Kings stepped forward and walked towards the gate of the Confinement Pagoda.
Their palms landed on the pagoda door respectively, and a tyrannical aura emerged.
Zi Chen sensed this aura. The King was indeed powerful, but he was not invincible.
An ancient creaking sound rang out as the door of the pagoda slowly opened. The aura of time surged out from the front, causing everyone's robes to flutter.
It was pitch-black inside, and nothing could be seen. After that dusty aura dissipated, everything returned to normal.
Zi Chen glanced at Lei Zhenke, who was looking at the pagoda, his eyes flashing.
Based on Lei Zhenke's strength and influence, he had not found the opportunity to break through, nor had he found a way to leave. Clearly, it was not that he was not strong enough, but that the secrets of the Saint Spirit Realm were almost completely unearthed. There was no such opportunity.
Therefore, the appearance of another world gave him hope, and he wanted to come here again.
He did not expect that he would actually see hope. For example, the Demon Realm before him was an unprecedented realm.
It even indirectly proved that many of the ancient records of the past really did exist. It was just that they had not been discovered.
And this pagoda, and the black hole on top of it, was very likely related to the coordinates of the past, and another distant legendary world.
Lei Zhenke found it difficult to remain calm when hope was right in front of him.
Chung Ho's emotions also changed. Only ancient Holy Sovereigns like them could truly understand the meaning of hope.
Zi Chen retracted his gaze and continued to look forward.
"It looks very peaceful. I wonder what's inside."
At that moment, the Exalted King's laughter rang out again. He took a few steps forward and looked at the dark entrance. "Let's go. If there really is a path, then it's our fortune."
After saying this, the Exalted King did not move. The others immediately understood and walked in.
Light flashed, and one figure after another disappeared.
Those who could stand here were all demons, so those who could enter were all demons.
Perhaps in this world, they were not much, but in the Saint Spirit Realm, these people were all existences that surpassed ancient Holy Sovereigns.
For them to appear in the same world at the same time, the world would not be able to bear it, let alone hide any secrets from them.
After the demons entered, the 62 Kings all cupped their fists towards the Exalted King and entered.
It was just that they could not be seen after entering.
One of the Kings glanced at Zi Chen before leaving. It was a very obscure glance.
Everyone entered one after another, leaving only the Exalted King and the others. Even the 75 or so demons that the Exalted King had brought with him entered.
The Exalted King looked back at Lei Zhenke. "Mister, shall we go in now?"
Zi Chen was already used to this scene. He did not know what method Lei Zhenke had used to make the Exalted King be so friendly and courteous to him.
Of course, he was not bad to Zi Chen and Chung Ho.
"Let's go and see if there's anything we need inside."
Lei Zhenke stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture. After the Exalted King invited him in again, Lei Zhenke entered without hesitation.
Next, the Exalted King looked at Zi Chen and Chung Ho. The two of them did not stand on ceremony and walked in just like that.
The Exalted King smiled and entered after them.
The Dao Protector's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, but he did not say anything. He only looked at Zi Chen's back with a cold gaze.
After entering the tower, they saw a black area. There was no vegetation, and there was no end in sight. It was not as small as it looked from the outside.
This was not much different from what Zi Chen had expected. This was a space, so it was not strange at all.
Vaguely, he could see some figures moving away. They should be the Evil Demons who had scattered in all directions, trying to find other opportunities.
Lei Zhenke stood in front of Zi Chen and looked into the distance. He did not move.
As if sensing Zi Chen and Chung Ho's appearance, he asked, "Do you have a direction?"
Zi Chen shook his head. It was their first time here, so how could they have a direction?
Chung Ho said without hesitation, "It doesn't matter if we have a direction or not. We won't be going the same way from now on."
"That's fine. I'll go …"
Lei Zhenke suddenly turned and looked to the right. "This way."
Zi Chen was very surprised. In his field of vision, he saw many people going forward. Under normal circumstances, the direction they appeared in should be in front of them.
If they went forward, they would go into the depths. It was usually a place with great opportunities.
This was a principle that even Zi Chen knew, let alone Lei Zhenke, who had lived for countless years.
But why did he choose to go to the right?
"What a coincidence. We're going to the left this time," Chung Ho said with a smile.
At this time, the Exalted King appeared with his people. Seeing that the two of them were going in different directions, he was startled. "Are three different directions okay?"
"I'll go to the right," said Lei Zhenke.
"I'll go to the left," said Chung Ho.
Zi Chen turned and asked with a smile, "Exalted King, which direction do you want to go?"
The Exalted King hesitated for a moment. "I'll follow you. I hope the two of you will have a great harvest.
If you find a way to leave, don't hide it, okay? "
"Don't worry. If I find a way, I'll share it with you."
Zi Chen saluted the Exalted King again, then began to walk in the direction Chung Ho had chosen.
After the two of them walked off, Zi Chen looked at Chung Ho. Before he could ask, Chung Ho explained, "That guy is a bit weird, so it's best to stay away from him. Who knows, maybe he didn't go into the depths because he wanted to leave the area for you to explore. Maybe he'll follow you from behind and try to steal your discoveries."
Zi Chen laughed. "You seem to have a lot of prejudice against him, and so do the others. What happened back then?"
"Don't think that he's amazing now. Let me tell you, back in the day, he was just a guy who stood in the back."
Chung Ho snorted. "Back in the day, there were a lot of people who could stand by Zi Chen's side and fight, but he didn't even have a place to stand in the back.
But those people all died in battle, and he was the only one alive. That's how he got the title of 'Strongest'.
Speaking of which, when the tiger is absent, the monkey becomes king. "
Zi Chen chuckled. "So you're saying that you're jealous of him?
Who told you to stay hidden all these years? If you had come out and developed your own forces, wouldn't you have become Ancestors? "
"This has nothing to do with jealousy. A leopard can change its spots, but a leopard cannot. Whatever he was back then, he'll definitely be the same in the future. If you want him to change his personality and lead the Spirit Race to glory, that's going to be very difficult."
Chung Ho stared at Zi Chen. "That's why I'm warning you again. Stay away from him. Be careful that he doesn't kill you."
Zi Chen thought for a moment, then said, "But as far as I know, you always decisively gave up on saving me at the most critical moment, even going so far as to use me as a shield. Compared to you, Lei Zhenke has never done anything like that.
And when I was in the Holy Thunder Clan, he treated me quite well. He took care of me in many ways. "
"Don't you remember? Did you forget who saved you so many times in life and death situations?"
Chung Ho didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all. "Also, that method of mine was to create a diversion. Think about it, your cultivation base is too low. If I told you to stay behind and run, then the enemy would definitely chase after me, right? You staying behind would be the safest way to escape."
"You really don't understand my good intentions at all."
Zi Chen chuckled. This guy's skin was as thick as a monk's.
Suddenly, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. He had made a discovery.
