Divine Realm, Emperor Star, outside the Imperial Tomb.

A drastic change occurred.

The instant that statue was destroyed by Xu Qing’s God Slaying Platform, all the statues here trembled at this instant. Their eyes opened in unison, revealing a pitch-black light. At the same time, their bodies instantly changed from their petrified state.

All of them revived.

A terrifying aura soared into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds, forming a huge vortex. With the Imperial Tomb Mountain as the center, it rumbled in all directions.

Black lightning swam within, as though a god was painting, outlining the slaughter of the world.

At the same time, outside the Imperial Tomb Star, the human-faced withered trees that grew on the spiderwebs were agitated and swayed intensely.

All the human faces opened their red eyes in unison and sharp voices rang out.

This sound contained astonishing power and endless resentment. It was as though the gate to the netherworld had opened and the voice of the netherworld had fallen into the human world, causing ghosts and gods to howl.

Countless voices gathered together, causing the color of the sky to change and the wind and clouds to surge. Even the surrounding storm stopped at this moment.

The vortex in the sky was torn apart by this sound, as though a huge eye was opening in the sky.

It was as though the stars had revived and would destroy everything!

At that moment, Xu Qing and the captain were both shocked. They retreated rapidly without saying a word but in the end, they were still affected by the violent power of the recovery of the entire star.

Xu Qing’s god form instantly collapsed. All his defensive barriers instantly shattered and his internal organs churned.

The captain was the same. His body was about to collapse from the violent aura.

The feeling of death directly descended on their minds, as though they were about to be erased at the next instant. Fortunately, they were very close to the passage in the mountain. At the instant the drastic change erupted, they stepped into the barrier and were isolated from the outside world.

The moment they entered, Xu Qing spat out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body and even his soul felt intense tearing pain. He immediately sat down cross-legged and regulated his breathing to heal his injuries.

The captain couldn’t hold on either. His body collapsed and transformed into a large number of blue worms that gathered together again. When he formed his body again, his face was pale.

A long time later, their injuries eased and they looked at each other.

The captain coughed.

“Junior Brother, that madness of yours just now is quite like my demeanor.

However… the next time you do this, can you tell me in advance…”

The captain felt a little strange. Although he had judged that there was a high chance that something major would happen if the statue was destroyed, it was only a judgment after all. He didn’t know that it would awaken the star and descend with the power of extermination, almost destroying them.

In addition, in the past, he was the one who courted death first and Xu Qing was implicated by him.

However, this time, it was the other way around.

Xu Qing was surprised when he heard this and glanced at the captain.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you didn’t tell me as well.”

The captain smiled awkwardly.

“Isn’t that because Eldest Senior Brother is worried that you’ll be afraid?”

Xu Qing nodded.

“Me too.”

The captain raised his brows and thought to himself that Little Qing had really learned bad things. This wouldn’t do; he needed to show him what true fearlessness, what true recklessness, what true madness really meant.

Hence, his expression was solemn as he criticized.

“Junior Brother, this little thing outside is nothing. Eldest Senior Brother brought you here to do something big and make a fortune. Let’s go!”

As he spoke, the captain’s entire body emitted an indomitable aura. He took the lead and charged forward.

When Xu Qing saw this scene, he sighed. He kept feeling that his captain was competing in courting death.

Hence, he slowed down a few steps before following.

Before leaving, he looked at the storm outside the barrier. He felt a little regretful that only one statue had collapsed, but he also knew that it wasn’t suitable for him to continue hunting the statues at this moment. Hence, he retracted his gaze and followed the captain.

At that moment, they were in a man-made passageway. The surrounding walls were carved with some complicated runes that occasionally shone with a dim light.

On the way, there would occasionally be corners that seemed to extend in all directions without a fixed route.

It was like a labyrinth.

However, the captain didn’t lose his momentum as he took the lead. It was as though he knew the exact route and didn’t stop at all as he moved forward.

Seeing this, Xu Qing didn’t care about the route. As he followed, he immersed his mind in his sea of consciousness.

At the top of his sea of consciousness, there were five huge gates!

Each of them was 100,000 feet tall and incomparably vast, emitting a majestic and ancient feeling. They were arranged in five different directions.

The first gate opened and one could see the vast world inside. A mosasaur swam inside and occasionally roared, echoing through the entire world.

This was Xu Qing’s first divine repository!

The second gate was closed. However, this gate was filled with the aura of the Poison Restriction, causing one’s heart to palpitate. It was extraordinarily terrifying.

The third gate was also closed. The power of the Purple Moon rose inside, as though it was contained in a furnace, emitting rumbling sounds.

The fourth gate was different. Although it was still closed, the emperor’s intent of this gate towered into the sky. It was thick and dignified, as though a king was suppressing and killing everything, looking down on the world.

The fifth gate was the magus Dao. The gate was half-opened, and one could vaguely see a majestic figure sitting cross-legged in the abyss inside, supporting the world. There were also waves of wails coming from the gate.

It was Ji Dongzi’s voice.

These five hidden gates enveloped the entire sea of consciousness like gods. They were supreme.

This was the gates to the secret repositories at the Spirit Repository realm. However, to Xu Qing, they were gates to the divine repositories, the emperor repository, and the magus repository.

The Spirit Repository realm was the process of forming repository gates. Every time a secret repository was formed, a hidden gate would appear in the sea of consciousness.

If there was the Heavenly Dao, the hidden gate would be opened. If there was no spirit, it could only close.

Right now, out of Xu Qing’s five repository gates, one was open, one was half-open, and three were closed.

However, at that moment, in the closed third gate, which was also Xu Qing’s third divine repository, as the wisps of moonlight fused into it earlier, a change that overturned the heavens and the sea was erupting.

This moonlight was the light of the oldest moon and contained the Dao of Extreme Yin. It came from the same source as the power of the Purple Moon that formed the divine repository and was even more ancient. Its appearance seemed to have ignited the entire divine repository, emitting the sound of the world being split open.

The rumbling from inside the third repository gate erupted in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness and grew larger and larger, surpassing everything. In the end, a gap slowly opened in the closed third repository gate!

Although it was only a gap, this was a process of gaining something. It was extremely precious and had great meaning!

Through this gap, one could see a blurry white lump appearing in the dim purple third divine repository.

This lump gave off an ancient feeling, as though its existence was the definition of ancient.

His body emitted a cold air that seemed to be able to freeze time and space. It was as though wherever the moonlight passed, the Great Dao would be frozen.

That was the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao in this third divine repository.

This shape was the Extreme Yin, and its ancient name was Nether Luminescence!

The instant it appeared and the gap in the third repository gate opened, it was as though a volcano had erupted, emitting an earth-shattering aura that filled Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness, spreading through his entire body, cleansing and augmenting everything.

In the passageway of the Emperor Tomb’s labyrinth, Xu Qing, who was moving forward, trembled and the power of his cultivation erupted with a bang. It surpassed his past strength, but he instantly concealed it. Only the spirit in his eyes and the sharpness in them were even more extraordinary than before, like a bright lantern flickering in the dark night.

The captain in front also stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and cast a meaningful glance at Xu Qing but didn’t speak. Instead, he took a step forward and his figure disappeared into the rock wall in front of him.

Xu Qing stared at it and didn’t hesitate. He treated the rock wall as nothing and took a step forward. It was as though he had crossed a space and appeared in a cave.

This cave was different from the previous maze. It seemed to be formed naturally. The surroundings were empty and pitch-black, as though they were in nothingness. Only nine vortexes that were filled with starlight existed above. They spun silently and were extraordinarily resplendent.

They resembled nine entrances as well as nine realms.

Just as Xu Qing was staring, the captain’s voice rang out.

“The outer layer of the Imperial Tomb is originally a chaos maze. If one doesn’t know the layout, even a Soul Accumulation will find it difficult to get through it. However, to me, it’s extremely simple.

“This place is the core of the maze. The nine vortices above are nine paths. Among them, there are five paths of survival and four paths of death. Moreover, they change at all times, making it difficult to determine life and death.”

The captain stood in the air with his hands behind his back as he looked at the nine vortices with a proud expression.

“However, according to my research and preparations in my previous life, I’m confident that no matter how these nine entrances change, as long as it’s the path I take, it will automatically form a path of survival for me!”

The captain lifted his chin and flicked his sleeve, thinking to himself that his words were astonishing. With Little Qing’s quick-wittedness, he should be showing shock and admiration next.

He waited for a while but no words came from below. Hence, the captain was surprised and lowered his head to take a look.

However, Xu Qing’s gaze wasn’t on him at all. Instead, he looked at the seventh vortex with a strange glint in his eyes and a pensive expression.

“That’s a dead end. The deadliest path. Stop looking.”

The captain coughed and reminded.

Xu Qing ignored him and the strange look in his eyes grew even more intense. He didn’t know what was in the seventh vortex but… the instant he arrived, the second divine repository in his body, which was the Poison Restriction, emitted the same fluctuations as the third divine repository when he saw the statue earlier.

That fluctuation transmitted an intense desire!

The captain raised his brows and was about to speak. However, at this moment, on the other side of the cave, the void churned and a figure in a wide Daoist robe walked out with a terrifying and domineering aura.

The wind blew his robe back and stuck it to his body, revealing the outline of this person’s graceful body.

Half of her body had undulating mountains, and half of her body had hidden gullies, especially with the robe on her body, a mysterious feeling would rise up in the minds of the onlookers.

It was Flame Mystic.

The moment she appeared, she saw Xu Qing and Erniu. She was first stunned. After that, the light in her eyes instantly erupted like the sun and moon and monstrous killing intent instantly rose.

Xu Qing’s gaze froze and the captain was stunned. After that, he gasped and his expression changed drastically as he cried out involuntarily.

“F*ck, how did you get here!”

With that, the captain turned and was about to run. Flame Mystic’s killing intent was world-destroying. Her terrifying aura, which was comparable to the Soul Accumulation, caused the entire cavern to rumble. With a step, she arrived beside the nine vortices and punched out at the captain.

“Die!
