Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 327 A Shocking Murderous Intent

The desolate battlefield was barren, and endless killing intent gathered into a mist, making everything here appear shocking.

"puff!"

Qi Zhe lifted his foot and stepped forward, reaching out to strike, instantly extinguishing the endless killing intent. He then led the others behind him slowly inside.

He opened a passage on the outskirts of the battlefield, stomped his foot to create endless Dao patterns to protect everything, and at this moment anyone could enter with him.

Princess Yueling of the Jiuli Dynasty and the old royal uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty were both behind Qi Zhe, and they were both somewhat moved by his actions.

"Alas, this place can stop us, but it cannot stop Brother Qi." Princess Yueling sighed, then followed Qi Zhe with small steps.

Qi Zhe was once someone she wanted to catch up with, but now he makes her feel somewhat disheartened; this feeling of being left far behind is not pleasant.

Several people followed behind her, including not only the old royal uncle of Great Xia, but also several other Saint Kings, all of whom looked dazed at the moment.

They were pondering the mysteries of the tragic path to immortality that Qi Zhe had described, guessing that Qi Zhe knew something unknown to others.

But now that Qi Zhe has led them inside, there's a chance to uncover all the secrets, so there's no need to rush to ask.

As the group walked through the shrouding mist, an indescribable aura suddenly rushed towards them, almost suffocating them.

"what is that?!"

The old royal uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty exclaimed in shock, and with just one glance he saw strange, flickering flames in the distance.

Before them lay a vast expanse of scorched earth, stretching to the horizon, devoid of any living creature, save for the flickering flames of intense fire.

The eerie flames twisted in the void, resembling figures struggling, roaring, and raging, filled with a peculiar sorrow.

“They look like living beings, but upon closer inspection, they don’t seem like them!” Princess Yue Ling’s eyes shone with a clear light, her pink lips parted slightly, her expression puzzled.

At this moment, an astonishing pressure emanated from the flames, surging down like a vast ocean, causing even a Saint King to change color.

"Roar!!!"

Then, a roar came from the flames, its sound shaking heaven and earth. Even Qi Zhe retreated repeatedly, his expression extremely solemn.

The people behind Qi Zhe immediately changed color. Their roars contained no divine power, but they possessed an astonishing will that resonated almost with heaven and earth.

Even a saintly king couldn't help but feel his blood surge. If Qi Zhe hadn't blocked most of them in front, they might have been injured amidst the roars.

"It's nothing, just the will within the blood burning!" Qi Zhe gave a definite answer at this moment, knowing that this was all the blood of the Great Emperor.

Then, Qi Zhe, his blood and qi surging, led the group forward, wanting to get closer to the flickering flames and see their secrets.

"If that's really the case, could it be that the Great Emperor shed his blood here?"

Discussions arose behind Qi Zhe. The well-informed descendants of the emperor found it unbelievable and thought the guess was quite astonishing.

If these flickering flames are the burning of imperial blood, it can explain their divine power even today; there is almost no other explanation.

The ancient emperors were incredibly powerful. If they had to fight bloody battles, it's hard to imagine what their circumstances must have been like. Most likely, it was related to their path to immortality.

And all of this seems to confirm what Qi Zhe said: this place may indeed be a tragic tale of the path to immortality, where a great emperor once shed his blood.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this, and then added, "This is not the end; there are even more astonishing sights at its deepest point!"

As they spoke, the group approached the flickering flames. At this point, the Saint King's cultivation level was no longer sufficient to stay, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, Qi Zhe summoned the Longevity Temple and used his Great Sage cultivation to try his best to revive this ancient weapon, and its astonishing imperial might began to ripple.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!" A shower of light rained down in the Taoist temple, and the deities within began to awaken, making the expressions of the people behind Qi Zhe quite solemn.

“We missed the emergence of the Celestial Venerable’s legacy outside the Immortal Mausoleum back then. Today, for the first time, we are observing it up close. It’s truly amazing!” Princess Yueling exclaimed.

It was because of the Celestial Venerable's inheritance that the Nine Li Dynasty became enemies with Qi Zhe, and she couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

She had wanted to ask Qi Zhe why he knew so much about this place, but seeing this, she could only remain silent and didn't want to ask any further.

Then Qi Zhe set off wearing the ancient weapon, and they traveled through the flickering flames, heading deeper into the forbidden area.

During this time, the Taoist temple was provoked to spontaneously release large areas of Taoist patterns. After all, it was not invincible in the place where the Great Emperor shed his blood, and it could not ignore it and pass by.

During this time, the two Saint Kings of Great Xia felt their hearts pounding, as if on a whim, and assumed that others felt the same way.

"boom!!!"

As they ventured deeper, an astonishing aura of an emperor surged forth, enveloping every corner of the space before them.

Deep within the forbidden land lies a fragmented landscape, with towering peaks cleaved in two and long rivers broken and dried up; nothing intact exists there.

The old royal uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty was blank at this moment, his eyes were already bloodshot for some reason, and he felt dizzy as soon as he entered the place.

Then, trembling, he roared, "Those bloodstains!! I feel a blood connection to them!"

In the farthest reaches of everyone's vision, countless puddles of water flowed across the land, their surface glowing with a poignant red light, shimmering with divine blood.

This land was covered by the killing intent of the Emperor's blood, making people's primordial spirit and blood boil and burn. If it weren't for the protection of the Taoist temple, only Qi Zhe could have survived.

"The Supreme Emperor!" Princess Yueling was dumbfounded, momentarily stunned, astonished that the emperor who had perished here was the Supreme Emperor.

The next moment, someone roared, "How could this be? There are bones everywhere!"

The Emperor's remains were incomplete, with glistening flesh and blood scattered on the ground, and the broken bones, still covered in traces of blood and flesh, sent chills down one's spine.

The two Saint Kings of the Great Xia Dynasty had bloodshot eyes. They could not accept this ending and could not believe that their powerful ancestor had perished here.

However, the cultivators of the Jiuli Dynasty remained silent. After considering the cause and effect, they could only sigh, lamenting the desolate old age of a human emperor.

Then the cultivators from the Great Xia Dynasty turned to look at Qi Zhe and couldn't help but ask, "Did the Great Sage already know about this?"

Only then did they understand why Qi Zhe had brought them along; he must have known all this beforehand, knowing that the one who perished here was the Emperor Taihuang.

Qi Zhe nodded upon hearing this: "That's right, I knew all along."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty were speechless for a moment. As descendants, they did not know the place where their ancestors had perished and needed the help of an outsider to find out.

Now they only want to leave this place as soon as possible, and bring out their most ancient secrets to try to collect the remains of the late emperor.

Qi Zhe understood their feelings and decided to send them out after a short stay, and then use the danger here to temper himself.

However, he knew very well that no one but a supreme being could contain the remains of the Great Emperor, especially since the body was shattered into pieces and exuded a terrifying killing intent, which even the aid of an imperial weapon could not prevent.

The Great Xia cultivators who had gathered outside the battlefield quickly departed, leaving only the sages of the Nine Li Dynasty in a daze, finding it utterly unbelievable.

"Brother Qi, are you perhaps planning to go into seclusion here?" Princess Yueling asked curiously before leaving, wondering if Qi Zhe was going to venture deep into this battlefield once again.

Qi Zhe nodded silently, and then disappeared completely into the thick fog.
