Half an hour later, as the last bolt of lightning struck, the tribulation clouds in the sky vanished in an instant.

Centered on the secluded pool, the surrounding area for dozens of miles became a scene of devastation, charred black.

The two Supreme Saints, Ah San and Ah Si, have been completely destroyed, leaving only two Saint Sources half-buried in the soil.

The innate wood spirit Xiao Qi transformed into the essence of the sacred wood, its intelligence almost completely shattered, and floated quietly in mid-air.

Yuan Qianmo looked miserable, his whole body was like charcoal, and the charred flesh formed a black shell on his body. Fortunately, the life force inside him did not decrease but increased, and became stronger and stronger. He was leaping from the ninth-order half-saint to the third-order quasi-saint.

Before long, Yuan Qianmo stabilized his cultivation. The charred outer shell gradually faded away, his white hair fluttered, and his aura became several times stronger than before.

Having experienced his own power, he was confident that if he were to face his previous enemies again, he could win without relying on the power of a Heavenly Tribulation or a Sword Saint-level attack.

"Once you survive the tribulation of life and death, the gate to the Saint Realm will be open. All you need to do is condense the Saint Image and Saint Source to truly step into the Saint Realm."

"However, there's no rush right now."

Yuan Qianmo casually put away the two Saint Sources, walked to the Saint Wood Essence Source, and carefully examined it.

"As expected of the life essence refined from the semi-divine sacred wood, the vitality it contains is as vast as the ocean."

He carefully put away the sacred wood essence, which was the key to cultivating the Dao Embryo of Life and Death. Even if he couldn't get the great opportunity in the inner world, this trip was still worthwhile.

Then, his gaze turned towards the direction of the dark pool, and he was about to simulate it with the Primordial Destiny Disc when a sacred pressure suddenly swept over him.

In the void, a golden-armored figure, a hundred feet tall, appeared. His gaze swept across the surroundings of the dark pool, and without Yuan Qianmo speaking, he had already deduced what had happened.

"How dare you interfere in the trial realm of the Tiannan Life and Death Ruins! I'd like to see who you are."

The voice, filled with anger and imbued with a vast and powerful divine might, hurtled straight towards the dark pool.

Yuan Qianmo remained where he was, without taking any further action. He had already guessed the identity of this golden-armored deity, who was most likely the Konghai Divine General stationed in Jiao Valley.

The clash between those at the Upper Realm Saint level exceeded the upper limit of the rules within Jiao Valley, alarming it.

Yuan Qianmo's gaze followed the figure of the Sky Sea God General to the dark pool. At this moment, the pool water was boiling, and golden and blue light shone out. Even the slightest aftershock made people's hearts pound.

"Is this the power of the gods?"

In fact, what entered the inner world was only a divine thought clone of the God of Emptiness and Sea, and the Divine Tree Master was not his true body.

Meanwhile, a true divine war erupted in the void outside Jiao Valley.

A divine river of sword light stretched for 100,000 miles. Above the river, the sacred artifact of the original temple, the "Death Bell," grew to the size of a planet, releasing a vast and ominous cloud of death.

Yuan Ding stood atop the River of Sword Light, his white hair flying, his gaze transforming into two giant swords, slashing towards the distant void.

The God of the Void Sea revealed his colossal divine body, standing 80,000 feet tall. He activated a special secret treasure, which unleashed a power no weaker than that of a true god.

When the two deities attacked together, the rules of heaven and earth became chaotic.

In the void, a blue vine hung down, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, like a blue divine dragon.

With a flick of the green vine, it dispersed the sword light river and the death cloud, forcing Yuan Dingchu and the God of the Void to retreat.

"A new god, a false god—I am leaving. Do you intend to keep me here?"

The laughter of the Divine Tree Cult Leader echoed in the void, and his aura gradually faded away.

The God of the Void stood in the void, his face grim.

"Hmph, these guys from the dark forces have become more and more arrogant these years, daring to set their sights on the Tiannan Secret Realm."

Yuan Dingchu remained calm and said, "The ten major dark forces are known for their eccentric behavior, and the Divine Tree Master is an old god who has been a god for nearly 100,000 years. His cultivation has reached the level of a high god. We are indeed no match for him."

"But why would he attack Jiao Gu? What was inside that attracted him?"

The God of the Sea remained silent for a moment, without answering the question.

"Thank you very much for your help this time, Brother Yuan."

Yuan Dingchu was also quite sensible. Even if there was some great secret hidden in Jiao Valley, it was not something he could interfere with. In the entire Hell Realm, there were few forces that dared to offend Tiannan Life and Death Ruins.

"It's just something I did as a favor. If it's convenient for you, Brother Kukai, please take care of my son."

This time, the God of the Sea nodded.

……

The strange occurrence in the dark pool did not last long; it returned to calm after only a short while.

Before Yuan Qianmo could react, the figure of the God of the Void Sea appeared before him.

"The Death God's embryo, the destiny of a god, originally destined to give birth to a good son."

The expression of the god Kukai was very kind, and his previous anger had disappeared.

Yuan Qianmo bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Divine General! What has happened?"

"It's nothing serious, just a huge rat sneaked in, but it's been chased away now. Speaking of which, you deserve a lot of credit for finding that rat." General Konghai's smile widened. "The Sacred Wood Essence is just the obvious opportunity in Jiao Valley. In reality, there are even greater opportunities here, a hundred times greater, but they are very difficult to obtain. Considering your contribution, I can give you a chance."

"They've arrived." Yuan Qianmo's heart stirred. Sure enough, as long as he stayed in Jiao Valley, he would have the opportunity to come into contact with the great opportunity of the inner world.

"Thank you, Divine General."

"Come with me." The God of the Void Sea released his divine energy to envelop Yuan Qianmo, and together they plunged into the dark pool.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a gray stone platform.

Yuan Qianmo looked around curiously. The stone platform was a seamless whole, and as far as the eye could see, there was no edge to be seen. Looking up, there was a canopy of trees that blocked out the sun. The leaves were like clouds and mist, and it was impossible to imagine how big the whole tree was.

"Is this the legendary banana tree? It's so huge!" he thought to himself, feeling a sense of insignificance.

At this moment, the voice of General Kukai rang out.

"This is where the greatest opportunity lies within Jiao Valley."

Yuan Qianmo regained his composure and looked in front of him. He saw eighteen stone doors arranged in a row, each door being three zhang high and two zhang wide, with ancient patterns carved on them.

"The stone gates here were left by the Seven Great Ones back then. Each gate contains a spiritual power inheritance that can connect with the gods. There are seventeen in total. As long as you gain the recognition of the inheritance within the gate, the corresponding stone gate will open," said General Konghai.

Yuan Qianmo's gaze swept over each door from left to right, and he asked in confusion, "There are a total of eighteen stone doors here, so why are there only seventeen inheritances?"

The God of the Void Sea smiled faintly and said, "Because this eighteenth inheritance was not left by the Seven Great Ones, but came from the Ancestor of the Sea."
