The Fiendish Abyss!
The gray land was filled with deathly silence, while the sky above was dim and gloomy.
Ahead stood a magnificent white palace.
That was the Imperial Mausoleum.
The mausoleum was incredibly eye-catching. It was constructed entirely from white jade, polished so smoothly that the gloomy sky itself was reflected upon its surface.
Ordinarily, a white mausoleum would appear majestic, noble, pure, and serene.
Yet this white resembled the eerie white used at funerals. Every corner exuded a chilling aura. No matter how smooth the jade was, it could not conceal the overwhelming scent of death.
And within rested the one known as the greatest strategist and conqueror of all, the Ancient King!
Mo Fan and the others climbed the white stone staircase.
Upon reaching the main gate of the mausoleum, they saw a strange bronze mirror!
Fang Gu and Su Xiaoluo explained its origin.
It was the Evil Eye Bronze Mirror. Through the Kun Well in Hua Village, it could project the scenes inside the Imperial Mausoleum to the outside world.
The five of them did not waste any time and quickly stepped into the white mausoleum.
Passing through a long corridor, they found stone murals hanging on both sides, seemingly part of the Ancient King's personal collection.
The murals contained Spirit Element traps. Anyone who accidentally fell into one of the paintings would be dragged into an illusion or dreamscape, unable to escape.
Fortunately, the ancestral teachings of Hua Village mentioned this danger. Su Xiaoluo happened to know about it and warned everyone in advance, allowing them to avoid the mental illusions.
After passing through the corridor, they entered an incomparably spacious front hall. The entire palace was built from funeral-white jade stone, its polished floor so smooth that it reflected their own images.
Massive pillars stood throughout the hall, each so enormous that four or five people were needed to wrap their arms around one. Countless mysterious inscriptions that Mo Fan could not understand were carved into them.
The front hall seemed completely empty.
Only a stone platform stood at its center.
Upon the platform rested a crystal-clear demonic lotus. As they approached it, it emitted an enchanting fragrance.
"The Lotus of Immortality!"
"This demonic lotus is the Lotus of Immortality. According to our ancestral teachings, only when the Lotus of Immortality dies will the bridge leading to the altar appear," Fang Gu said.
Zhang Xiaohou acted without hesitation, repeatedly casting magic in an attempt to destroy it.
However, the Lotus of Immortality regenerated on its own every time. His attacks were completely useless.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan noticed that his Little Loach Pendant had begun trembling.
Seeing this Mo Fan firmly grabbed the Lotus of Immortality. After thinking for a moment, he realized the Little Loach Pendant was too special and did not want the others to see its secret. He quietly walked into a secluded corner of the front hall.
The Little Loach Pendant possessed an innate absorption ability. The moment the demonic lotus touched it, the entire flower instantly shrank into an incomparably brilliant soul light, gradually being absorbed into the pendant.
After devouring the demonic lotus, the Little Loach Pendant finally stopped trembling.
However, its radiance nearly illuminated the entire front hall, instantly making the pale palace much brighter.
Not long afterward, the Lotus of Immortality began to wither.
As the Little Loach Pendant absorbed its energy, it also began to awaken on its own, recovering a portion of its former divine power.
At the same time it returned a mysterious surge of energy to Mo Fan. Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he immediately guided the lotus's power sent by the Little Loach Pendant into his Fire Element Nebula.
His blood felt as though it were about to burst through his veins. His entire body turned crimson red, and with blazing flames igniting all over him, he seemed like a volcano on the verge of erupting.
"ROOOAAARRRR!!!!!!!"
With a furious roar, brilliant crimson flames instantly burst from Mo Fan's body, taking the shape of a fiery phoenix that shot toward the ceiling of the front hall, scorching a breathtaking sea of flames across the roof!
In the end, he successfully broke through to the High-Tier.
The Lotus of Immortality completely withered.
The bridge leading to the altar appeared.
The next step was simply to cross the bridge and meet the King upon the Ancient Altar.
The arched bridge was nothing like an ordinary bridge over flowing water. It was a magnificent sky bridge stretching through the heavens. Its gray-white structure resembled a soaring flood dragon disappearing into even deeper darkness.
There were ten flood dragon bridges in total, stretching so far that their ends could not be seen.
Among the ten bridges, nine led to certain death, while only one led to life.
Only a single bridge truly led to the Altar Throne. The other nine were all paths to death!
In the end, Fang Gu chose one path and entered it alone.
Mo Fan and the others, however, chose to live or die together and entered the same bridge.
Outside, the sky gradually began to darken.
A cold rain once again spread across the Ancient Capital.
On one side of the battlefield.
Lu Huan soared into the rain-filled sky and engaged the enormous, ghostly white Nether Bone Dragon in fierce combat.
Almost every spell Lu Huan cast was Super Tier Magic, while the occasional High Tier Magic flowed from his hands as effortlessly as breathing.
White tidal waves rolled across the heavens, their deafening roars echoing throughout the entire inner city.
It was as though an ocean had been lifted between heaven and earth. The overwhelming surge and magnificent spectacle were enough to leave anyone breathless, rivaling a tsunami sweeping across several kilometers of coastline.
He successfully held back the Nether Bone Dragon.
Because they had learned in advance that the Evil Abyss would descend upon the Ancient Capital, Lu Huan was not swallowed by it as he had been in the original timeline, sparing him from an untimely death.
On another battlefield.
"ROAAAAAAAR~~~~~~~~~~!!!"
The Mountain Corpse fixed its gaze upon Fang Yu, whose body radiated the auras of several different flames.
Under normal circumstances, the Mountain Corpse never paid attention to the aura of any living creature. Beneath its overwhelming Corpse Monarch pressure, the presence of all life was insignificant.
Yet now, it could clearly sense an extremely dangerous power hidden within that tiny body.
Its eyes narrowed.
In the next instant, two crimson beams of death burst from its blood-red eyes.
The rays shot straight toward Fang Yu.
Suddenly, the Totem Black Snake swept across the battlefield, coiling protectively around Fang Yu. In an instant, both of them became blurry, like reflections on water distorted by ripples before gradually fading away.
Shrouded in mist, the Totem Black Snake flashed into the sky.
Its innate demonic art erupted as countless ancient boulders condensed into a Heavenly Monument Seal, crashing down heavily upon the Mountain Corpse.
Standing atop the Totem Black Snake's head, Fang Yu attacked in perfect coordination.
"Blazing Sun!"
Fang Yu shouted.
At once, a blazing sun of fire tore across the heavens.
It slashed through the vast sky, leaving behind an enormously long trail of flames amid the dim clouds.
It looked exactly like a miniature celestial body engulfed in flames from atmospheric friction as it smashed directly into the Mountain Corpse.
Struck simultaneously by the two devastating attacks.
The Mountain Corpse's colossal body staggered backward several steps.
Each step carried it hundreds of meters away.
This time, it had suffered serious injuries.
A large section near its collarbone had been blasted into charred flesh, while scorch marks covered its entire body.
"ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"
The Mountain Corpse flew into a complete rage.
It immediately raised one of its massive arms, sweeping through the thick clouds before bringing it crashing down with overwhelming force.
BOOM!
The entire inner city trembled violently.
Its arm descended like a divine hammer falling from the heavens, shaking the earth and mountains alike.
An entire city district instantly turned to dust.
The buildings, the concrete roads, everything.
The district, nearly a kilometer in length and width, was flattened into nothingness by a single strike.
Such destructive power was utterly terrifying!
Within the district that had been reduced to powder, a gigantic crater remained.
Yet the Totem Black Snake and Fang Yu slowly pushed themselves back to their feet.
Neither of them appeared to have suffered any serious injuries.
As though truly enraged, the tri-colored flames around Fang Yu danced wildly.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as his eyes, which had gradually transformed into brilliant tri-colored pupils, locked onto the towering Mountain Corpse once more.
RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~~~~!!
High above, an enormous sea of tri-colored flames suddenly descended without warning.
It tore open a colossal rift between heaven and earth, connecting the skies above to the land below.
The pillar of towering tri-colored fire landed directly upon Fang Yu.
Rather than falling onto him, it was more accurate to say that the heaven-piercing inferno was being poured over the sinister body of the Totem Soul Avatar that had fused with him!
