A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Sheng's mouth. He had made the right gamble this time.
Unlike Ye Hei in the future, who had entered with the Immortal Treasure Map token and could move unhindered along the safe path within the formation, he did not even know where the safe path was.
But who could blame him for having an Emperor's Body? He had endured the attacks and reached the formation's core, where the Great Emperor's killing formation lay.

After all, this was a powerful formation capable of temporarily trapping an Unblemished Great Emperor.
With his current strength, forcing his way through would most likely mean entering but never leaving. Yet his body was a genuine Emperor's Body. Once the massive threat posed by the killing formation damaged it too severely, it might very well trigger the Emperor's might within it to resist and fight back.
By then, he might still be unable to escape, but the jade-field medicines within the killing formation—and possibly the entire Immortal Ascension Land—could be damaged. Needless to say, that grave would suffer even worse consequences.
