Su Chen and the other two followed the map, while Ye Ningshuang and Yafu warily surveyed their surroundings, secretly circulating their inner power so they could act immediately should any unexpected situation arise.
The three of them walked for half an hour without encountering any danger along the way. Even so, the two women still dared not relax their vigilance in the slightest.
This is Forbidden Land of Death, a place where there is almost no chance of survival. Of course, we cannot let our guard down, because if we do, we may end up with nowhere to be buried. So the two women were extremely careful.
Su Chen, however, remained calm and showed no sign of tension, as if he were not in Forbidden Land of Death, but in his own home.
Yafu suddenly said in a deep voice, "They really did come for the inheritance and the treasure."
Ye Ningshuang looked at Su Chen, "What should we do?"
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No need to pay attention to it."
Ye Ningshuang blinked. "That's not right. Given your temper, you shouldn't still be keeping them around. Have you discovered something?"
Su Chen glanced at Ye Ningshuang, shook his head and smiled, "When did you become so smart?"
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes. "I've always been smart, okay?"
Yafu asked, "Young master, could it be that you've really discovered something?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "That man named Liu Tiezhu is actually dead."
"What!"
Ye Ningshuang and Yafu were startled.
Ye Ningshuang exclaimed in shock, "Don't scare me! If he's dead, who was that who was just talking to us?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, "You'll find out soon enough."
Hearing this, Ye Ningshuang said speechlessly, "Why are you still keeping us in suspense? What's the point of telling us now?"
Su Chen laughed and said, "If you beg me, I'll tell you right now."
Ye Ningshuang rolled her eyes. "Dream on!"
Yafu fell into deep thought, pondering the meaning behind Su Chen's words.
Is Liu Tiezhu really dead?
But who was she talking to just now?
Her mind was a bit of a mess, so she decided to stop thinking about it. Anyway, Su Chen had just said she'd find out soon enough.
The three walked for nearly half an hour before stopping. Ahead of them was a huge cave, its entrance edge jagged with sharp rocks that stretched out like fangs, exuding a chilling aura.
A thin layer of mist filled the cave, making it look exceptionally mysterious and unpredictable, leaving one wondering what it concealed.
Not far from the cave entrance, there is a stone tablet with the inscription...
I am the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor. My life is nearing its end, and with no other choice, I ventured into the Forbidden Land of Death, seeking only a sliver of hope. But I know full well that the Forbidden Land of Death is a place of certain death. To avoid wasting the fruits of my life's cultivation, I have left behind my legacy here. However, one must break its formations and restrictions to obtain this legacy...
After reading the inscription on the stone tablet, Ye Ningshuang was shocked. "This is actually the legacy left behind by the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor. According to ancient records, the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor was one of the strongest Immortal Emperor tens of millions of years ago, possessing the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm. At that time, there were very few people in the entire Immortal Realm who could rival him."
At this point, a complex expression appeared on her face. "I just never imagined that such a powerful figure would one day reach the end of his lifespan."
Yafu said, "I've heard that only by breaking through that realm can one achieve immortality, but how many geniuses have been stopped by that realm? Breaking through that realm is just too, too difficult."
Ye Ningshuang nodded and said, "Yes, even if someone could really break through to that realm, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't allow it."
Yafu said, "I still don't understand why the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow anyone to break through to that realm? Is it really because it's afraid that someone will break through to that realm and threaten it?"
Ye Ningshuang said, "Given the current situation, this is the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, why wouldn't Heavenly Dao allow anyone to break through to that realm? It must be because it's afraid that someone breaking through to that realm would threaten it."
Ta-da-ta-da...
Just then, footsteps sounded behind the three of them. Liu Tiezhu appeared with nearly a hundred people, who were looking at the cave in front of them with great excitement.
The middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected that the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor's legacy would actually be here!"
The one-armed old man grinned and said, "I want this inheritance!"
The woman said coldly, "Heh, you'd have to have the ability to do that."
A tense atmosphere filled the room; everyone stared at each other warily, some even flashing with murderous intent.
"Alright everyone."
Liu Tiezhu suddenly said, "Now is not the time for internal strife, because there are still formations and restrictions that haven't been broken."
Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down.
The middle-aged man asked, "Brother Liu, do you have a way to break this formation and restriction?"
Everyone stared intently at Liu Tiezhu, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Liu Tiezhu smiled. "Of course, there is a way."
In the distance, Yafu frowned. "Didn't you say before that there was no way to break this formation and restriction?"
Liu Tiezhu looked at Yafu and smiled, "Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist now."
Yafu remained silent, her expression indifferent.
She already harbored murderous intentions towards Liu Tiezhu.
At that moment, she remembered what Su Chen had said earlier: Liu Tiezhu was already dead...
Liu Tiezhu ignored Yafu and addressed the crowd, saying, "I can break the restrictions and formations, but once they're broken, you'll all have to listen to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll start fighting before you even see the Blood Shadow Immortal Emperor's inheritance and treasures."
His words were clearly meant for the four Immortal Sovereign level experts.
The four of them pondered for a moment, then nodded in unison, "No problem."
Liu Tiezhu smiled slightly, said nothing more, looked at the cave entrance, then quickly formed hand seals, his fingertips flashing with light, and chanted incantations, but those around him couldn't understand a word.
As he moved, beams of immortal light shot out from his body, rushing towards the cave entrance. The array outside the cave entrance surged, seemingly in resistance.
Liu Tiezhu frowned and increased the output of his Immortal Qi, veins bulging on his forehead. Suddenly, with a soft shout, he spun around, and a powerful whirlwind of Immortal Qi rushed towards the restriction.
Click!
The restriction instantly developed cracks, and the array's light began to become disordered. Finally, under his full power, it shattered with a deafening roar!
Everyone was extremely excited to see the formation and restrictions broken, and the four Immortal Sovereign were especially eager to make their move.
Liu Tiezhu was already drenched in sweat, his face slightly pale. He took a deep breath and then looked at everyone, "Gentlemen, don't forget what you just promised me. Also, don't think that just because you've broken the formation and restrictions, everything is fine. What if there's still danger inside?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been somewhat restless, immediately calmed down. Liu Tiezhu was right; how could the legacy and treasures left behind by a Immortal Emperor be so easily obtained?
The cave must be full of danger!
