Special Power
From the depths of the Ancient Bronze Gate, a vast wave of laws erupted. Following the guidance of the Star Map, golden-red Guiding Divine Pillars as thick as bowls pierced through the sky and descended above the heads of the old monsters holding fragments of the map, transforming into protective Light Screens that forcibly counteracted the spatial tearing and turbulence within the cracks of the ancient gate.
"Haha! Guiding Divine Light! My lifespan is saved!"
A gaunt old Daoist priest at the early stage of the Ninth Tier, bathed in divine light, couldn't wait to activate his escape technique and fly along the pillar of light toward the deep crack in the door.
The other powerful factions also displayed their unique abilities, using the divine pillars for protection as they charged towards the Giant Gate.
However, in the very next moment...
Phew!
Roar!
Two roars, seemingly echoing from ancient times, resounded from Chen Fan's arms.
The Red Rock Fire Spirit Remnant Scroll and the Black Tortoise Shell Fragments in Chen Fan's arms flew out simultaneously.
These two ancient totems, passed down for ten thousand years, transformed in the Void into a hundred-foot-tall Fire Crow with wings that blotted out the sun and a Blackwater Giant Turtle tortoise that shattered the Void. Water and fire merged, yin Yin-Yang united, and they actually transformed in the Void into an extremely refined Yin-Yang Twin-Fish Seal!
The entire Ancient Bronze Gate, towering ten thousand feet high, began to tremble violently.
Boom!
The meager divine light originally allocated to the other old monsters seemed to have been summoned by a king, and most of the golden-red Fortune in the world was forcibly plundered. From deep within the crack in the door, two dazzling Guiding Golden Light beams as thick as mountains tore through the Void and crashed down on Chen Fan!
Boom!
Chen Fan was instantly enveloped by two solid, towering golden pillars. A vast Fortune swept across the surrounding area, directly overturning several nearby hundred-foot-long Flying Boats and sending them thousands of meters away.
The two guiding beams intertwined and overlapped, forming a nearly tangible divine golden armor around Chen Fan. Its divine radiance was so intense and its pressure so immense that it completely suppressed the light of the more than thirty guiding beams in the entire arena, making them dim and without luster!
"Two maps?! He alone possesses two fragments of the Great Wilderness Map?!"
"Heaven is unjust! The fragments of the Xuanming and Red Rock maps have all fallen into his hands!"
The old monsters from the heartland, who were charging through the air, instantly had bloodshot eyes, so jealous they almost vomited blood.
Each additional fragment of the map means twice the protection of the Origin Source within the secret realm, and may even unlock deeper levels of ancient divine treasures!
The old monsters paused slightly, a glint of extreme greed and killing intent flashing in their eyes.
But when their gazes met Chen Fan's indifferent expression amidst the golden light, and the rough, Broken Saber sword lying in front of him, their greed was extinguished as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over their heads.
Stealing Chen Fan?
That's suicide!
With a blade of grass between his teeth, Chen Fan let the violent spatial winds lash against his golden light armor, without even lifting the hem of his clothes.
He turned to look at the Giant Spirit City Lord beside him, who had been imbued with a wisp of golden light, and uttered two words indifferently:
"Stay close."
Before the words were even finished, the dual guiding beams suddenly contracted, tearing through the sky.
Chen Fan stepped on the Taiji Yin-Yang Phantom, his figure transforming into a dazzling rainbow piercing the sun. Amidst the shocked and envious gazes of dozens of Great Wilderness Supremes, he smashed through the spatial storm as if entering an empty land, and was the first to be swept into the depths of the ten-thousand-foot-tall Ancient Bronze Gate.
Buzz!!
The world spins and the Void is reassembled.
Chen Fan and the Giant Spirit City Lord suddenly felt a solid ground beneath their feet, emerging from the spatial storm and landing on a vast, boundless wasteland.
The surroundings were dim.
There was no Sun, Moon, and Stars, or stars, no alternation of day and night; the sky was a single, suffocating expanse of deep black, like a blood clot that had dried up for ten thousand years and solidified overhead.
The ground beneath my feet was scorched black, crisscrossed with bottomless cracks, devoid of any vegetation, and even the dust carried the smell of decay and rust.
The entire world was devoid of any spiritual energy.
"This is... the Guixu?"
The Giant Spirit City Lord landed behind Chen Fan and took a deep breath.
The air he inhaled was dry and cold, devoid of any vitality, but in the next instant, a glint of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"My lifespan... has come to an end!"
The Life Origin that was constantly flowing away was frozen in place the moment it stepped into this world, like a river frozen in ice.
The lifespan limit that had plagued him for over a hundred years vanished at this moment.
"The laws of heaven and earth are utterly broken; even the order of the passage of time has been disrupted."
Chen Fan remained calm and spoke in a low voice.
However, before the joy on the Giant Spirit City Lord's lips could fully bloom, a sudden change occurred.
Sizzle!
A piercing, violent corrosive sound suddenly exploded around him.
The golden-red divine light that came from the Ancient Bronze Gate, which had originally enveloped his body like a curtain of water, now seemed to have fallen into an invisible pot of boiling oil, and began to boil violently.
In the Void, a layer of gray dust, barely visible to the naked eye, floats.
The dust particles silently adhered to the Protective Divine Light, and with each touch, they eroded and melted away the golden light, leaving a tiny gap.
The Giant Spirit City Lord's expression changed, and he hurriedly activated his cultivation technique, causing a mountain-like Law Domain spanning a thousand feet to suddenly expand from his body.
The majestic, earthen-yellow Dharma Form rose from the ground, its Dao Principles roaring, attempting to forcefully keep these eerie gray dust particles out.
But only for a fleeting moment.
Boom!
The Ninth-Tier Domain, as solid and imposing as Divine Mountain, was like snow exposed to a raging fire, festering and turning black in large patches. The gray dust particles, like maggots clinging to bones, spread wildly along the threads of law, directly attacking his Sea of Consciousness.
The Giant Spirit City Lord let out a muffled groan, a trickle of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. In his shock, he decisively severed this part of the Law Domain.
"How is this possible? It can even assimilate and devour Ninth-Tier Domain?!"
He stared intently at the rapidly thinning Guiding Golden Light, his breathing rapid and his pupils trembling.
"Mr. Chen, this protective golden light... can only last for three hours at most!"
The Giant Spirit City Lord wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice revealing undisguised panic.
"The fragmented map is not only a key to guide us, but also a life-saving armor. The ancient records of the Great Wilderness are incomplete. I originally thought that all I needed to do upon entering was guard against other old monsters trying to steal my treasure, but I never expected that the Power of the Void within the Guixu itself would be the greatest danger!"
"Three hours later, the divine light will be exhausted, and Ninth Tier body facing this kind of erosion... will instantly turn to ashes!"
At this point, the Giant Spirit City Lord's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He originally considered himself to be at the early stage of the Ninth Tier and a powerful figure in the Great Wilderness, but upon arriving in this world, he couldn't even withstand the Void Death Qi in the air.
Chen Fan looked down at his own body.
The two fragments of the Crimson Fire Spirit Scroll and the Red Rock Black Tortoise Shell resonated with each other, and the descending Guiding Golden Light, thick and heavy like a solid golden armor, wrapped around his limbs and bones layer upon layer.
The gray dust was also violently churning, emitting a series of fine popping sounds.
However, the dual divine light was incredibly resilient, and its wear and tear was extremely slow. At this rate of consumption, it could easily sustain itself on this scorched earth for at least several days.
"What's the panic?"
Chen Fan's tone remained completely flat.
His mind sank slightly, and through the Divine Soul Mark within his clone, he instantly communicated with the Martial God's true body, which was located billions of stars away in the vast universe.
