Inside the cave, the air was heavy and humid, and a faint light shone from the depths, guiding Ling Feng and Ling Yuan deeper. Every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of time, echoing the whispers of time.
On the surrounding rock walls, ancient totems flashed by from time to time.
In the entire cave, it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers. Ling Feng could only use the Heavenly Refining Divine Fire for illumination, but this cave seemed to be able to swallow up all light. Even the blazing Divine Fire could only barely illuminate the way forward.
The strange thing is that when Ling Feng used the Heavenly Refining Divine Fire to illuminate the rock wall, the previously flickering totems mysteriously disappeared.
"There seems to be a greater secret hidden deep in this cave."
Ling Yuan whispered, his voice echoing in the empty cave, with a hint of solemnity that was imperceptible.
Ling Feng nodded, holding the long sword in his hand tightly, and scanned the surroundings with vigilance.
Suddenly, there was a strange fluctuation in the front, and the whispers in the ears became more frequent.
"Come on...come on..."
The two looked at each other without saying anything, but both speeded up their pace in unison.
After walking forward for about half an hour, the originally narrow passage suddenly opened up.
Not long after, the two came to a relatively empty platform.
Buzz!
Along with the buzzing sound in the void, rows of huge crystal towers suddenly appeared in front of them, flashing with an extremely dazzling light.
After a while, Ling and Feng got used to the dazzling white light, but found that the surrounding space was already illuminated by the crystal tower as bright as day.
Continuing forward along the passage illuminated by the crystal tower, a larger altar suddenly stood in front of us.
It is covered with more complex and ancient totems and inscriptions, and above the altar, a dazzling gemstone is suspended, echoing the jade they took off previously.
"This...is this?"
Ling Feng was shocked and even more incredible.
Ling Yuan stared at the gem with a flash of understanding in his eyes, and murmured: "Could these two gems be a pair?"
Before he finished speaking, the gem in his hand instantly flew out and hit another gem suspended above the altar.
Bang!
As if two stars collided with each other, the entire space fluctuated violently.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding stone walls began to shake violently, as if they came to life.
Lines of dim light rose from the ground, converging into ancient pictures that slowly unfolded in the air.
In the picture, it is the scene of the fierce battle between the Great God Xuanyuan and many creatures from the beginning.
At the beginning, before Ling Feng set foot on the immortal path, he relied on the fog of war on the top of the God of War Mountain to observe the reverberations of Ling Taixu's battle with the powerful demons, and thus understood the Nine Art of Heavenly Punishment.
Now, the scene of the fierce battle between the Great God Xuanyuan and the God of Taichu is right in front of you, as if you are immersed in the scene.
Ling Feng and Ling Yuan are both rare monsters in the world.
From the battle scenes of Great God Xuanyuan, one can naturally gain some enlightenment.
I don't know how much time passed, but those battle scenes suddenly disappeared. Ling Feng and Ling Yuan seemed to be bounced back to reality from the terrifying battlefield of Taichu.
The two looked at each other, only to find that each other was sweating, and their bodies were soaked with sweat, as if they had been fished out of the sea.
"Hahaha!"
The next moment, both of them couldn't help laughing loudly, and then they collapsed on the ground at the same time. A battle of that level, given their realm, would consume a lot of spiritual power even if they just watched it for a few seconds.
What's more, they watched the Great God Xuanyuan kill nine Taichu gods.
At this moment, the power of their consciousness had been completely drained from both of them, and their entire brains felt as if they were being pierced by countless steel needles.
As for how much mystery they can penetrate, it depends on their own understanding and perseverance.
After lying there like mud and resting for a long time, the two of them slowly sat up.
The original altar, the grotto, and even the illuminated crystal towers no longer exist at this moment.
In the chaotic void, a nine-colored divine light suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, the nine-colored divine light suddenly dispersed, and a staircase made of nine-colored light appeared in front.
The two of them helped each other stand up, and without any hesitation, they jumped up the stairs.
I don't know how long it took to move forward along the stairs, but a huge underground palace appeared in front of me.
Directly in front of the underground palace, there is a huge crystal suspended. Some kind of powerful power seems to be sealed in the crystal. It is slowly rotating, releasing a dazzling light, illuminating the entire palace.
Under the crystal, stood a tall and burly statue.
It was a warrior wearing ancient armor and a majestic face. Although the long sword in his hand was decayed, it still exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
And between the eyebrows of the statue, there is a huge blood-colored gem embedded in it, like an open vertical pupil.
"This...this is..."
Ling Yuan's voice trembled slightly, "Sage of Heavenly Eyes!"
He suddenly knelt down and bowed down. The Heavenly Eye Saint was the god worshiped by the eight tribes in the Northern Wilderness.
There is even a legend that the Saint of Heavenly Eyes is one of the incarnations of the Great God Xuanyuan. Now it seems that this is probably not a legend.
But fact!
Ling Feng also took a deep breath and knelt down towards the statue of the saint.
Looking at the huge statue, he seemed to be able to feel the great power that spanned time and space stirring in his chest.
The rotation speed of the crystal above the statue suddenly soared.
As the crystal rotates at high speed, domineering balls of golden light scatter wildly around the underground palace, like a giant dragon with fangs and claws, circling and entangled, and finally swooping back and submerging into the crystal.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, two golden lights shot out at the same time, directly penetrating the bodies of Ling Feng and Ling Yuan.
They began to slowly levitate uncontrollably, and the golden light escaping from the crystal seemed to be transforming their physiques.
Immediately afterwards, another faint golden light shot out and shot to another corner of the palace. After a while, Ling Yi's figure was seen slowly levitating.
Although this guy's face was pale and his eyes were closed, his chest was still rising and falling weakly, so he was obviously not dead yet.
It seems that the previous blood pool was actually just a test on the road to apocalypse.
Even if they fail, they will not die at all. They will just be immediately transported to the "end" of the road to the Apocalypse, waiting for the final blessing.
Ling Yi basically lost his combat ability just after arriving at the Blood Altar. Therefore, the golden light that penetrated his body was almost completely negligible compared with Ling Feng Ling Yi.
Ling Feng finally wanted to understand why the miasma beast formed by the Blood Altar did not use all its strength to kill them completely from the beginning, but instead improved its strength little by little. The more he stimulated his own potential, the more powerful he was. The power of the miasma beast is also increasing steadily. In short, no matter what, it can crush him.
This is just to bring out their best potential.
What a road to revelation, really interesting!
In the end, Ling Feng and Ling Yuan successfully passed the test and took out the gem.
This is probably something that the predecessors of the eight Northern Wilderness Parts have not been able to accomplish before.
Therefore, they were not qualified to observe the battle of Great God Xuanyuan, nor were they able to absorb the blood in the blood pool and awaken the bloodline of heaven.
As the golden light disappeared into his body, Ling Yuan gradually fell into coma.
On the contrary, Ling Feng, after a long time, still didn't feel anything special.
Although the feeling of golden light flowing in the body is warm and comfortable, it does not seem to have the same feeling as Ling Yuan and Ling Yi did when receiving the blessing of the saint and the essence of life has changed.
Is it because he already has the bloodline of Heaven and has opened the Eye of the Blood-Rage Emperor?
Just when Ling Feng was confused, the golden light connected to him suddenly dissipated.
He suddenly fell to the ground and groped his body randomly. The feeling just now was indeed not an illusion.
He was blessed by the saint, and his cultivation level and life essence were not improved at all.
As for Ling Yuan and Ling Yi, although they are still in a comatose state, their aura is changing little by little, especially Ling Yuan, who is getting closer and closer to the perfect Tiandao bloodline.
I have gone through many tests and finally reached this point, but...
Nothing?
It is definitely impossible to say that I don't feel a little disappointed.
However, being able to observe the battle of Great God Xuanyuan before was already a great benefit to him.
Not to mention, along the way, he first obtained the Sky-Refining Divine Fire, and then the Ancestor-level Frost-Breaking Demonic Bone.
In any case, it is not without gain.
Also, being able to become friends and brothers with one's ancestors is definitely an extremely novel experience.
Ling Feng quickly corrected his mentality. Based on his current gains and digesting them, he might not be able to compete with the ancestor-level experts.
However, just when Ling Feng calmed down and prepared to wait quietly until Ling Yuan and the others woke up before leaving with them, the statue of the Celestial Eye Saint actually seemed to blink.
Ling Feng's eyelids twitched and he rubbed his eyes violently, thinking for a while that it was his imagination.
But the next moment, the third vertical pupil of the Celestial Eye Saint actually shot out a ray of red light, directly hitting the door of the underground palace ahead.
"Could this be a hint from the Third Eye Saint?"
His eyes narrowed, no, this was not a hint, it was completely stated.
In my ears, there was a whisper, "Go, go quickly..."
It's that voice again!
Ling Feng took a deep breath, looked up at the statue of the Heavenly Eye Saint, bowed deeply towards the statue, and immediately followed the guidance of the red light and flew to the front of the underground palace gate.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Feng raised his hands and pressed lightly on both sides of the palace door, using all his strength, he pushed hard.
But not only did the palace door remain motionless, but there seemed to be a special suction force that directly sucked out his magic power, energy, blood, and even his spiritual power.
Ling Feng suddenly retracted his palm, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
If he had been in contact with the palace for a while, wouldn't he have been raped?
He took a deep breath and did not dare to act rashly again, but carefully looked at the palace gate.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out the animal skin map.
The place where the vortex is marked on the map should be this hall.
And this underground palace should be directly underneath the altar of blood!
Ling Feng swallowed and looked carefully at the palace door. Sure enough, there was a tiny, undetectable gap at the connection between the two palace doors.
Like a groove!
Ling Feng had a flash of inspiration and quickly took out the crystal that Ling Ruoshui had given him.
This crystal contains all of Ling Ruoshui's bloodline power and a lifetime of cultivation. According to her, this is the "key" to unlocking the road to the apocalypse.
The only key!
Is this the gate she was talking about?
Ling Feng tightened his fists and quickly pressed the crystal stone gently into the groove. As expected, it fit perfectly.
Then, the palace door began to frantically absorb the spiritual power within the crystal. In just ten breaths, the originally emerald green crystal turned pale white. Then, it cracked open and fell to the ground.
As the crystal fell, the palace door finally slowly opened.
Ling Feng gritted his teeth, leaned down and carefully put away the crystal that had been broken into seven or eight pieces.
He clenched his fists tightly and recalled the scene when Ling Ruoshui died for the Great Evil King.
Perhaps the reason why Ling Ruoshui chose to go with the Great Evil King was not just to die for love.
She probably knew a long time ago that to open this final palace door, she needed to extract the life-long blood and spiritual power of an immortal-level Tiandao clan strongman.
Therefore, she died to fulfill herself...
In other words, she had already placed all her hopes on herself.
A drop of clear tears slid down his cheek. Ling Feng put away the broken crystal, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Don't worry, Master, I will never let you down!"
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng stared at the wide open palace door, without looking back, and took extremely firm steps.
The biggest secret of the Road to Apocalypse is finally about to be revealed! (End of chapter)
