Chapter 719: Entering Dark Emperor Heaven
"Hao Bing, you are the young master of Nanbo Sect after all. Could you please wash your mouth before you speak?" Lan Ran's face darkened. Before she could open her mouth, Qin Ziling stepped in front of her, looked at Hao Bing with contempt, and said in a cold voice.
"You're looking for death!" A seventh-grade true immortal beside Hao Bing saw that Qin Ziling, a fifth-grade true immortal, dared to mock his young master in person. His eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity, and he raised his hand. A sharp claw appeared in the air, and he was about to grab Qin Ziling.
"How dare you!" However, before the claws of this seventh-grade True Immortal fell, a majestic voice sounded in the distance, followed by a bolt of lightning striking from the sky.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the seventh-grade True Immortal was knocked to the ground, with lightning flashing all over his body and black smoke coming out of him.
Hao Bing and the people around him suddenly changed their expressions and looked into the distance.
In the distance, I saw a majestic man standing in the air, who appeared without knowing when.
This man had the terrifying aura of a ninth-grade true immortal, and his body was surrounded by electric light.
"If it happens again, I will kill you all!" The man, whose voice was surrounded by lightning, was like thunder, shaking the entire Heimo Island.
Hao Bing looked at the majestic man and his expression changed several times. Finally, he clasped his fists and gestured to the man.
Seeing this, the majestic man stepped into the air and left.
After watching the majestic man leave, Hao Bing sneered at Qin Ziling and said, "People with ability are bold, that's called courage and bravery. People like you are courting death and stupidity."
"I still have one thing to say. Please wash your mouth before you speak. It's okay if you stink me, but it will be a sin if you stink Master Lan Feng." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Very good! Don't worry, once you enter the Dark Emperor Heaven, this young master will let you understand what it means to cause trouble by speaking." Hao Bing said with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Then let's talk about it after we enter the Dark Emperor Heaven. Now could you please get out of here as far away as possible? I really can't stand your bad breath!" Qin Ziling waved his hands at Hao Bing with a look of disgust, as if he was sending away a beggar.
"You..." Everyone around Hao Bing was furious when they saw this, and almost couldn't help but attack again, but in the end they didn't dare to do it.
"Let's go!" Hao Bing waved his hand with a gloomy face and led his men away, but they stopped five miles away from Qin Ziling's tent. Then someone took out a magic weapon and dropped a luxurious palace five miles away.
Lan Ran's expression changed slightly and he turned and entered the tent.
"This bastard, he is planning to keep a close eye on us and kill us to vent his anger as soon as we enter Dark Emperor Heaven." After entering the tent, Lan Ran's face was as cold as ice.
"The terrain in Dark Emperor Heaven is extremely complex, and there are dangers everywhere. When the passage is opened, we will rush in with everyone else, and then take the opportunity to escape. How can they target us whenever they want? At worst, we can just escape to the three restricted areas. We are prepared to die anyway, so I want to see if they have the courage to chase us." Qin Ziling said disapprovingly.
"What are the three restricted areas?" Lan Ran asked, raising his eyebrows.
"It's like this. I just asked around and learned a lot about the situation in Dark Emperor Heaven." Qin Ziling then gave a general explanation of the three major forbidden areas and the situation of the strong people participating in this event.
"There are so many ninth-grade True Immortals, but a team like Hao Bing can only rank 200th!" After listening to Qin Ziling's retelling, even though Lan Ran had already made up his mind to die, his limbs turned cold and he felt chills all over his body.
"There are indeed a lot of strong people!" Qin Ziling sighed.
"It's more than a bit too much. According to what you said, any force before the top 200 can easily crush us." Lan Ran smiled bitterly, then thought for a while and said, "Qin Feng, how about I go in alone? Your realm is still low now. With your talent and foundation, you should still have great hope before you can reach the eighth level of True Immortal. With the help of Master Yin Feng, you should still have great hope."
Unlike me, I am already a seventh-rank true immortal. If I take another step, I will have to go through the seventh wind and fire tribulation, which is very dangerous. If I am lucky enough to survive the seventh wind and fire tribulation, I will have to take another step to go through the eighth wind and fire tribulation. Given the current situation of the Jiuxuan Sect, if I cannot seize the opportunity, I will definitely follow in the footsteps of Peak Master Huangfu, so I resolutely took this step. "
"Master Lan Feng, do you think I'm the kind of person who gives up halfway through doing something?" Qin Ziling asked Lan Ran.
"You..." Lan Ran looked at Qin Ziling and shook his head helplessly.
"Master Lan Feng, don't be so pessimistic. Since I dare to follow you into the Dark Emperor Heaven, I must have something to rely on. It's impossible that I really want to die in vain!" Qin Ziling said.
Lan Ran's eyes lit up slightly, but soon dimmed. He said, "Let's leave here and go to where there are many people. When a passage appears, we will rush in with everyone."
"Okay." Qin Ziling didn't want to have a conflict with Hao Bing's team as soon as he entered Dark Emperor Heaven and expose his strength. Even if he wanted to kill Hao Bing and others, he must find a suitable place and time.
His golden soul had just asked the Fire Dragon in the Niwan Palace whether the person who killed Hao Bing and Hao Yuanchong in the Dark Emperor Heaven could be traced back to him through the father-son relationship between the two. The Fire Dragon told him that the forbidden area of the Dark Emperor Heaven was another small world that could conceal and disrupt the secrets of heaven.
Even though Hao Yuanchong was a Taoist immortal, he could not use the laws of nature to figure out who killed his son.
Of course, Hao Bing's team is now very strong as a whole, and no one knows what tricks Hao Bing has hidden in his hands. Even if Qin Ziling reveals his strength now, he may not be able to keep them all.
Therefore, whether it was to avoid exposing his strength or to keep all of Hao Bing's team at once and avoid future troubles , the moment he just entered Dark Emperor Heaven was definitely not a good time. He must wait until he got some opportunities and became a little more familiar with the situation inside before he could find a time to take action.
Make plans before taking action!
Qin Ziling has always been patient.
Soon, Qin Ziling packed up the tent and moved with Lan Ran to a flat ground where many palaces were located.
Most of the people living there are similar to the two of them, with no strong background, strength or team.
They gathered together to keep each other warm and to have more chances to seize opportunities and survive in the Dark Emperor Heaven Forbidden Land.
Therefore, as soon as the two of them moved to this piece of flat land, seventh-grade and eighth-grade True Immortals soon came to them one after another. They all came to find them, hoping to form an alliance with them and seek opportunities together in the Dark Emperor Heaven Forbidden Land.
However, Lan Ran politely refused.
"Young Master, they have moved to the gathering place. What should we do now?" The seventh-rank immortal whose body was scorched black in several places by electricity entered the palace to report to Hao Bing.
Hao Bing stepped out of the palace and looked down at the gathering place in the distance. He saw palaces everywhere and people coming and going in groups of three or five. He frowned slightly and finally said with a gloomy face: "It doesn't matter, let them go. I hope they don't die too early in the Dark Emperor Heaven."
…
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two months, more and more people have come to Hemo Island.
During this period, there were several auras that were as powerful as an overwhelming tidal wave. The auras were rippling between heaven and earth. Even Qin Ziling couldn't help but feel palpitations. He thought that even if he sacrificed the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and released the five Hades Immortal Generals, he might not be able to win.
Not to mention, the other party has many means and followers.
"It's true that we shouldn't underestimate the heroes of the world! I'm afraid these ninth-grade true immortals can barely fight with the Taoist immortals." On this day, an extremely powerful aura enveloped Heimo Island again, and Qin Ziling sighed secretly.
Just as Qin Ziling was secretly sighing with emotion, the weather above Heimo Island suddenly changed. The space twisted and shook violently. Bright flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, like countless meteors streaking across the night sky.
A strange and terrifying aura emanated from the cracks that were opening and glowing.
"The matching channel is about to appear!"
"The matching channel is about to appear!"
There were bursts of surprised sounds coming from outside.
Lan Ran, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes calmly looked at Qin Ziling opposite her and said, "Finally, she is here."
"Yes!" Qin Ziling nodded, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Seeing that the time had come, Qin Ziling not only did not show any sign of retreating or being timid, but instead his eyes were full of anticipation and eagerness to try, and a strange light flashed in Lan Ran's beautiful eyes.
"Pack up the tent and wait outside," said Lan Ran.
"The matching channel is just being formed. It will probably take at least ten days for it to actually appear. There's no rush." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Okay, you act like a ninth-rank immortal and know a lot. Fold up the tent and be ready at any time. Hao Bing and the others are still eyeing us covetously not far away!" Lan Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qin Ziling when he saw his confident look on his face.
As they spent more and more time together, Lan Ran became more and more fed up with Qin Ziling's calm and arrogant attitude, as if between the two of them, he was the master of Xuanbing Peak, a seventh-rank true immortal, and she was his follower.
Of course, like when facing Hao Bing, he stood in front of her. Although she couldn't stand it, she still felt inexplicably sweet and touched in her heart.
No matter how inexplicably sweet and touching it was, as the master of Xuanbing Peak and a seventh-rank true immortal, Lan Ran still had his own reserve and authority.
"Okay!" Seeing Lan Ran rolling his eyes at him, Qin Ziling had no choice but to shrug and pack up the tent helplessly.
Seeing Qin Ziling looking helpless, Lan Ran bit her sexy and almost couldn't help but lose her temper.
At the Xuanbing Peak of the Jiuxuan Sect, her orders were as strong as a mountain. Which of her disciples dared to show such a helpless attitude in front of her?
It was just this guy Qin Ziling, who first rejected the olive branch she extended to him more than a hundred years ago and stood her up, and now he doesn't treat her as the peak master in any way!
However, Lan Ran quickly took a deep breath and held it in.
Because the matching channel was about to be formed, among so many people in the entire Jiuxuan Sect, he was the only man who would truly accompany her through life and death in the end.
Thinking of this, she was no longer angry, and there was also a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Qin Ziling.
At the gathering place, people, like Qin Ziling and Lan Ran, also put away their palace magic weapons.
Further away, most of the powerful teams of geniuses who each occupied an area had put away their palaces and magic weapons, and only a few were still living in the palaces.
"See? Everyone is preparing to set off into the Dark Emperor Heaven at any time!" Lan Ran said to Qin Ziling with a little pride when he saw this.
"I see!" Qin Ziling nodded, but his eyes looked towards a few palaces. The meaning was clear.
"How can they be the same? They are the geniuses of a true superpower. See, that star-filled palace on the east side belongs to the Seven Stars Palace. Can you compare with them?" Lan Ran said unhappily when he saw that Qin Ziling was obviously unconvinced.
"Hehe, you can't compare, you can't compare." Qin Ziling said hurriedly, but he curled his lips in disapproval. In terms of strength now, he really can't compare with the people of the Seven Star Palace.
But he is an unparalleled genius who has opened up the channels between heaven, earth and man, a fourth-grade immortal, and he has the help of Senior Fire Dragon. How could his judgment of changes in celestial phenomena be inferior to that of the geniuses of the Seven Star Palace?
Time goes by day by day.
The space in the sky was distorted more and more, causing various refractions and reflections of light, making the sky full of brilliance, making people feel as if they had entered a colorful world, magnificent and stunning.
However, Lan Ran's expression became more subtle and unnatural day by day.
The way she looked at Qin Ziling became more and more embarrassing and annoyed. She always felt that his calm expression was making fun of her.
Even inadvertently, a glance from Qin Ziling could make her inexplicably annoyed, and she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, making Qin Ziling confused and unable to figure out when he had offended the Lord of Lan Peak.
In a blink of an eye, fifteen days passed.
A vortex suddenly appeared in the colorful sky of Heimo Island.
The vortex was spinning, and the distorted space around it was collapsing inward. Countless bright lights were drawn into the vortex like moths to a flame.
The vortex grew bigger and bigger, and a passage gradually appeared inside.
Countless streams of light flashed through the passage, like shooting stars in the sky.
The end of the passage was dark and no one could see clearly what was inside. One could only feel an extremely strange aura of power rushing out from it, and the faint roar of ferocious beasts that made people jump with fear came from it.
"The passage is open! A great opportunity has arrived!"
As the passage appeared, thunderous cheers broke out on Heimo Island.
Rays of brilliant light shot up into the sky, and one had to be the first to step into the passage and seize the opportunity.
At this moment, a ball of brilliant starlight shot up into the sky.
A tall and imposing man appeared in the starlight, surrounded by twelve eighth-grade True Immortals.
"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly, and a tremendous aura and majesty spread out, as if a wall of sky blocked everyone's way, making everyone's scalp numb and their hearts tremble with fear.
"Si Shaonan, the Young Palace Master of the Seven Stars Palace!" Those who were rushing forward exclaimed, stopped, and dared not move forward even a bit.
Upon seeing this, Si Shaonan waved his sleeves, rolled up the starlight in the sky and wrapped him up. Then people could no longer feel his powerful aura as a ninth-grade immortal.
Soon, twelve eighth-grade True Immortals, surrounded by a group of starlight, stepped into the matching passage.
"One day, I, the young master, will also become such a powerful figure!" Hao Bing said in the crowd with jealousy and envy in his eyes.
After Si Shaonan led people into the passage, some powerful people soon appeared. They all concealed their own ninth-grade true immortal aura and then led people in.
Those who were originally eager to go in could only wait outside, and no one dared to step beyond the line.
Not until the strong men who revealed their aura of a ninth-grade true immortal led their men into the passage did the remaining people flock into the passage.
The Dark Emperor Sky, which only opens once every ten thousand years, not only attracts qualified geniuses and strong men from various local forces in the Great Barbarian South China Sea, but also attracts geniuses and strong men from some forces in the distant wilderness.
People poured in one after another, and at a glance the passage was packed with people, probably tens of thousands of people, and of course most of them were sixth- and seventh-rank True Immortals.
Qin Ziling and Lan Ran also took the opportunity to hold hands and follow the crowd into the matching passage.
In the matching channel, the spaces of two worlds meet, and a very mysterious spatial force blends inside. People walking inside feel very subtle, as if they have crossed time and space.
They didn't know how long it had been, but Qin Ziling and Lan Ran felt that their vision suddenly became clear. They had found themselves in a world where the power of space was unstable and seemed about to collapse at any time.
This world, with its towering and undulating mountains, vast and boundless oceans, vast and boundless plains, and roaring and surging rivers, is so magnificent and majestic that it is beyond words.
However, the first feeling people have when entering this world is not the grandeur, but a sudden chill all over their body, as if they have suddenly walked from a sunny place into a windy and chilly place, with graves everywhere as far as the eye can see.
A feeling of helplessness, darkness, despair, silence, depression and other negative emotions suddenly flooded into the brain like a tide.
Qin Ziling noticed that Lan Ran's eyes obviously changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Are you okay?" After regaining his composure, Lan Ran asked Qin Ziling beside him with concern.
"I'm fine. This strange power can't shake my determination!" Qin Ziling replied.
Indeed, this strange power had just tried to infect his Niwan Palace when it was eliminated by the golden light emanating from the Niwan Palace's Heavenly Palace and turned into nothing.
"Hey, Master Lan Feng, boy, we meet again!" Qin Ziling's words had just fallen when a voice came from more than ten miles away.
Almost at the same time, a magic weapon made up of five beads of unknown origin whizzed through the air and fell towards Qin Ziling and Lan Ran.
Before the rosary fell, Lan Ran and Qin Ziling felt as if five huge mountains were pressing down on them. The space around them was shaking violently and strong winds were blowing.
"Asshole!"
“What a pervert!”
“It’s unreasonable!”
The True Immortals who came in with the two men were all shouting and cursing and dodging everywhere. They had never imagined that this Dark Emperor Heavenly Forbidden Land was so dangerous. Before everyone started looking for opportunities, someone had already started to kill people near the passage.
There was a murderous intent in Qin Ziling's eyes, but he suppressed it in an instant.
"Let's go!" Qin Ziling grabbed Lan Ran's hand, summoned the Fire Crow Sword, and soared into the sky without saying a word.
