Chapter 1025 Going in Alone
The three demon tigers didn’t dare to stay here for too long. After thanking Li Mu, they left in a hurry so as not to be in danger again.
At this time, Li Mu had almost searched the whole palace, but he didn’t find any Emperor’s Wind. Therefore, he gave up this idea and went out of the Wind Palace.
He crossed the fifth square and walked forward. Soon, he arrived at the entrance of the sixth palace.
However, this time, there were more than a dozen figures standing in front of the palace, including the experts of the Human Clan, the devil races, the Feather Clan, and the Extraterritorial Demons.
The three demon tigers who had just escaped from the Wind Palace were also among them.
At first glance, Li Mu saw the Sword Fanatic and Zhuge Yun in the crowd. Except for Qing Feng, the people who had gotten through the palaces together with him were all at the gate of the sixth palace as if waiting for something.
Li Mu also attracted a lot of attention.
“Here, Young Master.” When Ming Yue saw Li Mu, her eyes lit up, and she quickly waved to him.
Li Mu went over and asked, “What’s going on? Where is Qing Feng?”
The Sword Fanatic pointed at the palace in front of him and said, “He has gone in it.”
Really?
Li Mu looked up and saw the sixth palace in front of him was bigger and grander than any of the previous ones. It was completely connected to the dome of the entire underground s.p.a.ce. At first glance, he felt a sense of awe.
The stone door of the palace was closed. Li Mu took a closer look and found it was just the shape of a door but not a real door. It was like a fake door painted on the stone wall.
On both sides of the stone door, there was a square stone pillar with several words on it.
The words on the right read, “Come in.”
The words on the left read, “Depend on yourself.”
There was a huge stone plaque on the fake stone door, on which there were also several words — Athanasia Sky Gate.
“Is this the name of the sixth palace?
“It sounded like the last palace of the Athanasia Immortal Palace.”
“Since Qing Feng has gone in, why don’t you go in?” Li Mu felt the atmosphere around him was a little weird.
With a bitter smile, Zhuge Yun replied, “Do you think we don’t want to go in? We can’t go in at all.”
While they were talking, seven more figures came quickly from the Wind Palace behind them.
“Ha… There are so many people here.” The leader was a handsome young man with a rectangular box on his back. There should be something like a weapon in it.
The aura of the six people following him was completely different from that of the Ziwei Star Zone, but Li Mu felt a little familiar with them. Li Mu realized that the seven people came from the universe where the Molderad was located. They were the Extraterritorial Demons that the people in this universe had mentioned.
The seven Heavenly Devils kept rus.h.i.+ng toward the gate of the sixth palace.
However, none of the people present tried to stop them or warn them.
Li Mu had guessed some of the truth.
Rumble!
A terrible force suddenly burst out from the Athanasia Sky Gate and sent the seven Heavenly Devils flying. Blood rained down from the sky. They flew backward and fell on the square in front of the sixth palace, looking extremely embarra.s.sed.
“It turns out to be like this.”
Li Mu finally understood what Zhuge Yun meant when he said he couldn’t get in.
It seemed the experts of all the forces had been shut out unhappily at the gate of the sixth palace.
“How did Qing Feng get in?” Li Mu asked again.
“Don’t you know it?” The Sword Fanatic asked Li Mu.
Li Mu was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
“Are you sure you don’t know it?” The Sword Fanatic said, “Your little attendant should be the reincarnation of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, right? Except for him, no one else can enter it. We tried our best but couldn’t enter. Only that little guy walked to the door and touched it casually. Then the fake gate seemed to be nothing, and he walked in easily.”
“Really?” Li Mu was also shocked.
The experts sent by the major forces in the Battlefield of Chaos this time were all monsters with good luck and strength. Even the giants standing at the peak of martial art couldn’t pa.s.s through the fake gate, but Qing Feng walked in as easily as going home.
“It’s true. Brother Qing Feng struggled for a while, but he was sucked into the palace. They all said that Brother Qing Feng was the reincarnation of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless or he was chosen to inherit the inheritance by the psyches and souls of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.” Ming Yue looked both worried and excited.
Li Mu suddenly imaged what had happened at that time in his mind.
“What should we do? Just keep waiting like this?” Li Mu looked at Zhuge Yun and the Sword Fanatic.
The Sword Fanatic said, “We can only wait. What else can we do? No one can get in, and no one is willing to leave. We can only wait near the gate. You’d better think of a way. If your little attendant really gets the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, how can you protect him after he gets out of this door? The people around us are not easy to deal with. They even dare to kill and rob.”
Zhuge Yun said, “Even if Qing Feng can’t get the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to escape unscathed even if he just walks around the palace for a while. Many people have the same purpose. If they can’t get the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless themselves, they won’t let other forces get it.”
Li Mu nodded in agreement.
Even if a pig went for a walk through the Athanasia Sky Gate and came out, its meat would be robbed by all parties.
It was a difficult problem.
Li Mu looked at the available combat forces around him. The Sword Fanatic and Zhuge Yun were undoubtedly the strongest, but some groups of other major forces had come in succession. Basically, each group had at least one expert not worse than the Sword Fanatic and Zhuge Yun. Once they fought, Li Mu’s group would be absolutely inferior in terms of quality and quant.i.ty.
Moreover, Li Mu was not sure whether Zhuge Yun would stand on his side. After all, he was from the Holy Land of the Shenji of Hundred Refinements. He also came here for the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. He had great hopes for it because the Holy Land of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was famous for its casting skills.
“Brother, thank you very much for what you have done before.” The three demon tigers approached. The demon tiger with the golden word, King, once again expressed his grat.i.tude and expressed his intention to form an alliance euphemistically. After all, among all the forces, they had suffered the greatest loss. Only three out of seven people survived, so their force was a little weak.
Li Mu agreed without hesitation.
They were ready-made reinforcements.
The Tiger Race was upright and barely trustworthy.
At this time, the seven Heavenly Devils also came to their senses. They waited at the gate of the main palace and no longer tried to break through the barrier.
The clock ticked by.
Various forces pa.s.sed through the first five palaces one after another and came to the front of the Athanasia Sky Gate. There were branches of devil races, the Ape Race, the Fox Race, and the Corpse Race. In addition, there were also people from the underground city of Constellation Demon Mountain. On the surface, they were led by Lunar Eclipse, Dugu Can.
Li Mu was quite surprised by the appearance of the people from the Constellation Demon Mountain.
Then he thought of one thing. The Realm-breaking Diagrams were auctioned by the people of Constellation Demon Mountain, it was reasonable for them to keep one in their hands. Although the people of the Constellation Demon Mountain had been quite carefree and influential because of its special geographical location. There was still a gap between it and the Holy Lands. If they could get the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, they might have a chance to become a new Holy Land.
Two hours pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
Li Mu secretly observed and found that there were already ten groups of people in the square in front of the Athanasia Sky Gate.
Except for the people of the Beast Race, the other forces’ people that had bought the Realm-breaking Diagrams were all here.
Perhaps it was because Li Mu had sucked up all the Divine Fires and strange fires in the Flame Pool Palace. The major forces that came later did not suffer great losses, at most losing one person.
It seemed that the Tiger Race had suffered heavy losses. Four of the seven tigers had died. Moreover, if Li Mu hadn’t sucked up all the flames in the Flame Pool Palace and saved them in the Wind Palace, only the leader of them would have lived.
The devil races bought four Barrier-breaking Talismans at the auction for spoiled things. They were the Fox Race, the Ape Race, the Tiger Race, and the Corpse Race.
The Extraterritorial Demons got two Barrier-breaking Talismans and sent two forces here. But it seemed that they were not on good terms with each other. Their relations.h.i.+p should be like the relations.h.i.+p between the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain and Li Mu. Their conflict with each other only existed in their territory.
Gradually, a strange atmosphere pervaded the square in front of the palace.
Li Mu felt that the major forces had begun to form alliances and recruit teammates. The forces were divided into several small groups. He, the Sword Fanatic, Zhuge Yun, and the others were gradually isolated.
“I’m afraid that those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are up to no good. If they really start a fight later, they will probably kill us first,” the Sword Fanatic said. “Qing Feng is one of ours. Once he comes out, our group will probably become the target of them.”
Li Mu chuckled and said, “When Qing Feng comes out later, Third Brother, can you protect us, and let’s retreat first?”
The Sword Fanatic patted his chest and said, “No problem. Leave it to me. It’s good to have a big fight.”
Li Mu didn’t know what to say at that time.
He was just joking, but he didn’t expect his third brother to be so straightforward, which made Li Mu embarra.s.sed.
Zhuge Yun kept thinking in his mind.
He had not expected the situation to turn out like this.
If they could challenge themselves all the time, someone of them could obtain the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless through their abilities. But now, they had known who would get the legacy. Everyone was waiting for Qing Feng to come out of the Athanasia Sky Gate. They were prepared to s.n.a.t.c.h the things with him away.
It would be difficult to save Qing Feng.
Just as Zhuge Yun was racking his brains, several figures flew over from the Wind Palace behind him.
“Could it be that the people of the Beast Race have finally arrived?” Many people’s first reaction was the same.
But when they saw these people clearly, they were slightly stunned.
The group of people was not from the Beast Race.
“They are from the Divine Chaos Dynasty, right?” Li Mu was extremely surprised.
“How dare the people of the Divine Chaos Dynasty get involved at this time? Are they here to die?”
However, when Li Mu looked at the figure in a bright yellow dragon robe at the front, he felt great pressure.
“Is he an emperor?”
Someone exclaimed at the same time in the square.
