"There’s no saving him," the Divine Emperor said lightly after glancing at the Blade Emperor’s corpse.
Xu Zii crouched down slightly and examined the body.
The cause of the Blade Emperor’s death was very bizarre, just like the people from the Huayuan Sect before, all internal organs were shattered despite the lack of any wounds on the surface of his body.
His companion blade lay beside him, broken into two halves, and the blade had many small notches shattered away.
"This desolate area seems quite dangerous, even Divine Vein experts didn’t have the chance to escape," Xu Zii said as he stood up.
The two continued forward, passing through the dark corridor, until finally a clear light appeared straight ahead.
The sight straight ahead began to open up.
There lay a river of solidified magma, flowing endlessly, winding and twisting ahead.
Over the river was a bridge, constructed of a few logs covered with planks, with stone railings on both sides.
And on both sides of the lava river, many fire series plants were growing.
What surprised Xu Zii was that these fire series plants were of nurous varieties, but not a single one he had seen before.
It was as if these plants were species that had long since been lost to extinction.
Xu Zii looked at the Divine Emperor, who shook his head to indicate he had not seen them before either.
The flas within this magma-congealed river were not ordinary flas; they were a kind Xu Zii had never seen before but felt to be extraordinary.
The thick flas flowed slowly, red on the outside, and purple within.
Xu Zii hadn’t touched the flas, but from the heat emanating above, he could feel his spiritual energy becoming sowhat obstructed.
"This fla is also strange," Xu Zii said with narrowed eyes.
The two walked onto the bridge, which, perhaps due to its age, showed signs of disrepair.
Stepping on it produced a series of creaking sounds.
This iron-chain-like bridge extended into the boundless distance, and it was unclear what lay at the midpoint of the other side.
Moreover, the farther forward they went, the denser the mysterious force beca.
It constantly sought to enter Xu Zii’s body and rge with his spiritual energy.
After walking on the bridge for over half an hour, Xu Zii started to feel his head growing dizzy.
The mysterious forces could now forcefully affect his will, slowly infiltrating his body.
"It really is troubleso; no wonder even the Divine Vein Realm is hard to enter," Xu Zii said.
He was an invincible being within the Divine Vein Realm, far stronger than anyone else. If even he found it to be a hassle, it was probably even more so for other ordinary Divine Vein experts.
"Master, are you alright?" the Divine Emperor asked, seemingly also sensing sothing unusual.
"It’s nothing," Xu Zii shook his head.
His consciousness entered the Divine Continent and directly summoned the Chaos Pearl from the void.
Once the Chaos Pearl entered Xu Zii’s consciousness, it began suppressing everything.
The power of chaos within the pearl, like the void itself, began to spread in Xu Zii’s mind.
It devoured and suppressed the mysterious forces completely, and only then did Xu Zii feel a lot better.
He fixed his gaze on the path ahead, the distant road still without limit, the end not in sight.
After a short while, the two ca upon another corpse.
It was the Sword Emperor’s corpse.
When Xu Zii approached the body, he found that the other hadn’t died completely.
He hurriedly infused a bit of the Tree of Life’s power into the other’s body.
As a great deal of life energy poured in, the Sword Emperor ultimately coughed a few tis and slowly ca to.
"It’s you," said the Sword Emperor, looking at Xu Zii with so surprise.
"What did you encounter?" asked Xu Zii.
"This bridge has no end. I walked for a very long ti, and eventually, I just felt so exhausted that I fell asleep," the Sword Emperor said weakly.
"Don’t worry about ; let sleep a little longer."
"If you keep sleeping, you’ll die," Xu Zii said.
However, no sooner had he spoken than the Sword Emperor closed his eyes and beca still.
When Xu Zii checked again, he realized that the Sword Emperor’s internal organs had all turned to dust and scattered.
Just a mont ago, when he had infused him with the breath of life, the other had been completely intact.
"Dead?" asked the Divine Emperor from the side.
"Did you figure anything out?" Xu Zii stood up and nodded as he asked.
"He died in a strange way; I don’t know if it has to do with this mysterious force," replied the Divine Emperor.
"He said this bridge has no end, so it’s pointless for us to keep walking like this," said Xu Zii.
The Divine Emperor frowned slightly and looked around.
Eventually, his gaze settled on the molten lava that had solidified into a river below.
"Then there’s only there; otherwise, this space has no path," the Divine Emperor said.
Xu Zii looked at the river of fire and leaped directly from the iron chain bridge, falling into the river.
The Divine Emperor followed closely behind.
After the two fell into the river, the scorching heat they had expected from the molten lava did not occur.
Instead, their vision was obscured by a mass of red fire, and their bodies began to spin upside down chaotically.
Imdiately after, Xu Zii felt his body beco empty and crashed hard onto the ground from midair.
He opened his eyes and stood up to survey his surroundings.
The scenery around him was sowhat unexpected.
This small space was entirely surrounded by a sea of flas, and the elders of the Vast Immortal Sect and the Long River Immortal Sect, along with several Loose Cultivators, were gathered in a blue shield.
Boundless blazing flas burned outside the shield, constantly roasting everyone within.
Xu Zii sensed a different atmosphere.
"Everyone, what’s happening here?" Xu Zii stepped forward and asked.
"Young master, please, ask that elder to save us," a Loose Cultivator shouted.
After all, they had all witnessed the Divine Emperor’s strength before, and he might be their only hope.
Just then, there was a "boom," and the sea of flas in the sky was blasted apart as the Divine Emperor stepped out of the void.
"A mont ago, a force tried to suppress , but I blew it up," said the Divine Emperor.
"Elder, please save us. Our Immortal Sects will be fully grateful to you," soone pleaded.
Maybe it’s true what they say: the longer so people live, the more afraid of death they beco.
"First, tell what’s going on?" Xu Zii asked, frowning.
"You must have felt it too, young master. Ever since we entered this space, there’s been a force eroding our consciousness.
Those who can’t withstand the force die instantly, and those who can withstand the erosion beco insane, only understanding slaughter," said the elder from the Long River Immortal Sect.
"Fortunately, I have the Heavenly River Cloak left by my ancestors, but even the power of the cloak is limited. We can only temporarily hold it off, and it won’t last much longer."
