The Armageddon Black Dragon, the Apex Predator, and Cherry were enough.
So, Zhang Yue left the Ice-Sealed War God and the Skeleton King behind.
The Ice-Sealed War God was used for defense. His goal was to guard the entrance of the Gate of Immortality and prevent any enemy from sneaking in.
The Skeleton King was in charge of charging into battle and killing enemies.
The enemies they intercepted, naturally, were not limited to the Beacon Nation.
Zhang Yue gave the Ice-Sealed War God the interception target of the Seven Great Nations, as well as all the countries allied with the Seven Great Nations.
Subsequently, as long as someone on the blacklist attempted to approach the Gate of Immortality, they would be blocked by the Ice-Sealed War God and the Skeleton King.
The Ice-Sealed War God had the mythical-grade treasure [Phantom Shield] on him. Besides greatly increasing damage reduction and raising the highest effective damage reduction to 90%, it also had control immunity.
With control immunity and its own reflect-damage capability, the Ice-Sealed War God was like a great Buddha, standing at the entrance of the Gate of Immortality.
Anyone who tried to charge through and attacked the Ice-Sealed War God would instantly be counter-killed.
After all, with the Ice-Sealed War God's HP limit of 5180m, and the 12x HP limit Void Shield that Zhang Yue deliberately gave him before leaving, any one counterattack, with a reflected damage of up to 6700m+, was enough to kill heaven, earth, and air in one blow.
The 21-star Void Shield effect allowed the shield bearer to sustain the shield through damage without Zhang Yue's body being present to power it.
Thus, the people from the Seven Great Nations simply had no strength to defeat the Ice-Sealed War God.
Attempts to control the Ice-Sealed War God and then bypass him into the Gate of Immortality were also futile.
They were completely and utterly suppressed by the Ice-Sealed War God and the Skeleton King, having absolutely no chance to enter the Gate of Immortality.
Aside from the Seven Great Nations and their allies, professionals from other countries would not be blocked by the Ice-Sealed War God and could freely enter the Gate of Immortality.
In the distance—
The intercepted army of the Seven Great Nations had gathered together, and without exception, were all seething with rage.
"Damn it, that beast Zero is clearly targeting us! People from other nations can go in, but we Seven Nations can't!"
"If we can't get into the Gate of Immortality this time, I fear all the treasures inside will be taken by Zero. When we go in next time, we won't even have a chance to pick up scraps!"
"What can we do about it? Our Seven Nations Allied Army can't even beat two of his pets! That's just a total embarrassment!"
"That Ice-Sealed War God is a divine pet transformed from a pseudo-king level BOSS! It's normal that we can't beat it. But what the hell is that skeleton thing in front of it? Why can't we even beat the skeleton? It doesn't even look strong?"
Just as the crowd was pointing at the Skeleton King, perhaps sensing their hostility, the Skeleton King suddenly turned his face and looked in their direction.
The next moment, holding his sword and shield, he charged straight at the people from the Seven Nations.
Seeing this scene, the professionals from the Seven Great Nations present all panicked.
"F**k! He's coming! Run for your lives, guys!!"

[On the Other Side]
Zhang Yue and Hidden Dragon entered the Gate of Immortality.
All who entered the Gate of Immortality would be randomly refreshed at a starting point.
In a team, teammates could be refreshed at the same location.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
White light fell, and Zhang Yue and Hidden Dragon appeared by a sea.
Looking around, the vast sea was blood-red, even emitting a strong smell of blood.
As if the flowing liquid before them was all blood.
Staring at the endless sea, before Zhang Yue could start exploring, Hidden Dragon immediately said, "This place is called the Sea of Blood. Because the danger level isn't high, it's the first-choice starting area for many weaker professionals. I've been here before. Along the coast, there were a few treasure chests, but they've already been looted. This area no longer has any exploration value."
As he spoke, Hidden Dragon seemed to have noticed something.
He walked to the shore and kicked over a silver treasure chest, only to see it completely empty.
"You see, the treasures in the Gate of Immortality don't reset or refresh. Once someone digs them up, they're gone."
If it had been Zhang Yue alone, his first reaction might indeed have been to circle around this Sea of Blood to see if there were any places worth exploring.
Now it seemed, this Hidden Dragon was actually somewhat useful, helping Zhang Yue avoid a worthless area.
So Zhang Yue said to Hidden Dragon, "You lead the way to places that haven't been developed yet, the harder, the better."
Hidden Dragon made an "ok" gesture, "No problem, just follow me!"
Saying that, Hidden Dragon raised his longsword, looked left and right, then started heading south along the Sea of Blood.
Zhang Yue closely followed behind.
"In fact, all the obvious treasures inside the Gate of Immortality have basically been dug up."
As Hidden Dragon walked in front, he explained to Zhang Yue behind him like a tour guide, "Now, the most valuable place is the Gate of Life and Death!"
"Ordinary professionals, when they draw the Gate of Life and Death, won't easily dare step inside and will usually choose to avoid it."
"Because if you enter and it turns out to be the Gate of Death, it's a near-death situation. Most of the time people just get pass-screened. Although the Gate of Immortality inside the Death Territory doesn't disable resurrection scrolls, once you die and get teleported out, it means you've forever lost your chance to explore the Gate of Immortality."
"Very few Death Gates have ever been broken through. Most of the treasures inside the Gate of Life and Death still remain untouched."
Zhang Yue didn't say anything.
Before long, the two arrived at a forest.
Hidden Dragon stopped and pointed at the forest ahead, saying to Zhang Yue, "Inside this forest is a ferocious beast of extremely high strength. Ordinary professionals simply can't handle it. So this forest hasn't been developed yet. You can go check it out."
Zhang Yue nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing Hidden Dragon still standing there, not moving, he asked, "Aren't you going in with me?"
Hidden Dragon said, "Didn't we agree not to fight over anything? I won't follow you to pick up your leftovers. You go in there, I'll go check out other places."
After a pause, Hidden Dragon continued to say to Zhang Yue, "By the way, bro, if you're strong enough to take down the beast inside, there might be a surprise."
After saying that, Hidden Dragon waved and left toward the other side of the forest.
Zhang Yue did not hesitate and immediately stepped into the woods.
Inside the vast forest, not a single human shadow could be seen.
Only some extremely vicious-looking giant saber-toothed tigers were roaming.
Seeing someone intrude, the saber-toothed tigers instantly entered attack mode. Amidst a series of roars, they charged at Zhang Yue.
Level 123 regular monsters.
For such small fry, Zhang Yue didn't even need to make a move himself.
A dozen or so [Savage Saber-Toothed Tigers] hadn't even gotten close before the Armageddon Black Dragon with thirty-six wings wiped them all out with two energy blasts.
Zhang Yue, as if nothing had happened, continued deeper into the forest.
