I picked up the scattered attributes

Feng Xiang smiled and nodded, gazing intently at the summit of the central divine mountain. Following his gesture, all the demons present looked over as well.

Originally, a large area on the central sacred mountain was sealed off by a barrier, where boundless purple energy permeated the air, engulfing everything and stronger than the divine light on the ladder to heaven, blocking all outsiders from entering.

However, as the ladder to heaven closed, as if the world had been created anew, the purple aura began to surge violently.

Seeing this, anyone would understand...

"The moment has finally come!"

"It's only been a month, but it feels like years have passed..."

"If the opportunities on the first level are already so abundant, it's unimaginable what kind of paradise the second level will be!"

In fact, the number of demonic beasts that have made it this far has decreased by more than 99% compared to when they first entered the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum.

Some, knowing they were powerless to reach the second level, chose to remain on the first level. Rather than risk an impossible second level, they preferred to stay on the first level and try to gain as many benefits as possible before the Demon Emperor's Tomb closed.

At the same time, many monsters also died in the process of fighting and trials, becoming insignificant figures in this great era.

Ultimately, those who manage to stand here are all masters in their fields.

However, when faced with that surging purple aura, they couldn't help but get excited!

"Throughout history, very few have ever been able to enter the second level. I never imagined that I would be fortunate enough to become one of them!"

"It is said that in the second level, there are not only more rare and precious materials, but also the inheritance of the first Demon Emperor and the ancient inheritance he moved here, each of which is no weaker than the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

"Once you obtain any one of the inheritances, there is nowhere in the world you cannot go?"

"Look, the purple aura is spreading!"

hum-

Amidst the purple aura filling the sky, divine light suddenly descended, imbued with an ancient and simple aura, sacred and peaceful, spreading in all directions.

After countless twists and turns, the second level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb is finally about to open!

"Can I turn the tide and avert the crisis for my clan?" Chi Yanli thought silently as he tore at Wang Jue's claws.

"The plan to change the world... whether humanity can rise up depends on this one gamble!" Mo Lianque clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"The life and death of Qianqiu Valley..." Elder Lei Shao and the others first looked in the direction of the divine light, and then turned back to look at Feng Xia.

Many more demon beasts looked on with great anticipation. If they could gain something from the second level, they might be able to save themselves decades or even centuries of cultivation and leap into the ranks of the top in the Demon Kingdom.

Such temptation, who could resist?

The Flower-Playing and Moon-Playing Sisters... Wang Xiaoman... Cherry Blossom Rain...

The fates of so many people and so many lives converge here.

Finally, the divine light within the purple aura solidified completely, and strange symbols were lit up, transforming the divine light into a long bridge that connected heaven and earth, leading to the vast and invisible depths of the purple aura.

"Axia."

This scene seemed to remind Zhu Youniang of something, and the girl tightly gripped Feng Xia's hand.

"Ok?"

"I won't let anyone else take yours."

"……what?"

Young lady, is it appropriate for you to blurt out something like that at such a pleasant moment?

It sounds like I, Feng, am already on my deathbed!

"Don't worry, no one can kill me."

Feng Xia patted the girl's hand and smiled, "If the Holy Son won't do, then no one else will either."

Zhu Youniang nodded and said nothing more.

"Finally, we're about to enter the second floor! Damn it, we've finally made it this far!"

At this moment, Long Da's excited voice came. Now he was so small that he was like a speck of dust. Even with Feng Xia's eyesight, it would take a long time to carefully scan him before he could find Long Da's location.

Feng Xia even had some doubts...

If Long Da keeps shrinking like this, his long-talked-about plan to get married might be completely ruined.

It's just too small.

From any perspective... it's too small.

Even if you use your hands and feet, or even do it yourself, it's probably still far from enough.

"Fellow Daoist Feng...were you thinking about something very rude just now?"

Long Da's voice suddenly paused with suspicion.

Just a moment ago, he felt a strange chill.

It was as if an invisible, gaping maw was secretly baring its fangs behind his back.

"Cough cough cough, no, no, I was thinking that if there are so many variables in the first level, the second level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb is likely to be different from what we imagine, with even more variables."

“Fellow Daoist Feng, that's because you don't understand. The structure of the second level of the Demon Emperor's Tomb is very special. It is actually a dynamic and changing array. When you are in it, spatial inversion is very common. Therefore, there is no such thing as the same or different…”

A dynamically changing grand formation?

Feng Xia's heart skipped a beat.

If he remembered correctly, the Spirit-Seizing Array that Mo Lianque mentioned back then caused the decline of the world's vital energy and brought about the culprit of the three-thousand-year-old end of the Dharma era... It seemed to be a terrifying array as well!

Is there some kind of connection between these two?

He felt slightly uneasy and quickly sent a telepathic message to Mo Lianque. However, Mo Lianque quickly shook his head, as even he could not confirm the connection between the two.

“Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Long, you’ve never stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder… that shouldn’t have too much of an impact, right?” Feng Xia remembered something else.

"How dare you ask that!"

Upon hearing this, Long Da couldn't help but feel furious, and shouted loudly, "I've come to the Heavenly Ladder several times, and every time I've managed to climb it, you've sent me back every time!"

Thinking about it now, it seems it really was my fault...

The humanoid... no, egg-shaped locator, Long Da, is very useful, but it's not a certain alarm clock lady after all. It has given so much and deserves sufficient compensation.

Feng Xia hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Would you like to take the Heavenly Ladder again?"

"Come on, the Demon Emperor's Tomb isn't something you can control. How can you just fix it like that?"

Long Da almost immediately rejected the suggestion: "Besides, does the old man seem to lack the accumulation of dreams? To be honest, the old man is not lacking in opportunities. As long as he accumulates enough energy and nurtures a powerful enough bloodline, he will naturally be..."

But as he was talking, he suddenly realized something and couldn't continue.

Long Da's mind was filled with only one thought:

When will I finally be born?!

"Damn it, when I get back from this realm, I'm going to settle the score with that girl! I'll beat her until she cries, or I'll change my name!"

Does it make any difference whether your name is reversed or not?

Feng Xia silently complained to himself, and just then, he suddenly shouted:

"The barrier has been lifted; we can proceed to the second level now!"

The path to the second level has finally been fully opened!

Just then, many demonic beasts turned their gazes toward Feng Xia.

Clearly, even though Feng Xia didn't speak up, the scene of his powerful killing of the Holy Son was still deeply imprinted in their minds, forever etched in their memories, seemingly impossible to forget.

"Let's go. Since we've come all this way, we're all destined to meet."

Looking at the scene before him, with numerous demonic beasts lined up on both sides, Feng Xia laughed instead: "Let's see what's on the second level."

Upon hearing this, countless demonic beasts breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this person is indeed quite ruthless, killing even the Holy Son without hesitation. If he were to make a move against them, there would likely be bloodshed, and none of them could stop him.

Fortunately, Feng Xia is usually quite amiable.

"A destined person?" Wang Jue kicked Chi Yanli and muttered unconsciously, "You make a very human way of putting it."

After Feng Xia finished speaking, his gaze returned to the long bridge of divine light. He suddenly remembered that he had seen a similar long bridge of divine light when he was in the Forsaken Land of Gods!

Equally radiant and dazzling, equally ancient and weathered.

A magical bridge leads to the other side!

Although the details are different, the long bridge of divine light that ran through the ancient land of the abandoned gods looked similar!

"Could it be that there is some unknown tacit understanding between the first Demon Emperor and the Ancestor of the Dust Sea... or perhaps the Goddess of Wu Guan?"

Feng Xia frowned and was about to step forward.

Just then, a crimson light suddenly shot out, rushing onto the long bridge of divine light before everyone else could.

No one expected this scene to occur; it was too unexpected. They just watched helplessly as the blood-red light shot into the sky and disappeared into the vast purple mist.

"Hahahaha-"

Only a loud laugh came from high above.

"Xia Donghai, I must thank you for your teachings and guidance. From now on, the passage to the second level... will be guarded by this old man!"
