The moment the pill was taken, a surge of spiritual energy filled the gatekeeper's body. Even though Ying Zheng was far away, he could feel the amazing spiritual energy that the pill brought to the gatekeeper.

Within a few breaths after taking the pill, the gatekeeper's injuries were instantly healed, and the spiritual energy in his body was much higher than before. Although his realm did not change, the amount of his spiritual energy was much higher than when he fought Yinglong.

Seeing this scene, even Yinglong couldn't help but remind Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, this old fellow is very powerful. He is also a ninth-level golden immortal. Even you must be careful when dealing with him."

In response to Yinglong's reminder, Ying Zheng just nodded slowly, as if he had agreed.

But the moment Yinglong finished saying this, the gatekeeper suddenly burst into laughter.

"Be careful? Do you think I can win by being careful now? That's ridiculous."

"The biggest mistake you two made today was entering the ruins and coming before me!"

The gatekeeper once again raised the halberd to his shoulder, pointed at Ying Zheng and said:

"And the price you have to pay for this mistake is to die here!"

Listening to the gatekeeper talking incessantly, Ying Zheng did not say much. He simply walked towards the gatekeeper step by step, holding the Ding Qin Sword.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had not given up, the gatekeeper smiled and said again:

"It's already come to this point, don't you still want to give up? That's really admirable. Although I don't know what you want to do in the ruins, I promise you that after defeating you, I will definitely give you a quick death and not let you suffer."

Yinglong fell to the ground, but his eyes were fixed on Ying Zheng and the gatekeeper. He knew that Ying Zheng, as the Human Emperor, must be extremely powerful and his cultivation was definitely not bad. However, under this barrier, even the Human Emperor could only maintain the same cultivation as the gatekeeper.

In this case, it is impossible to defeat the gatekeeper without a powerful magic weapon or a powerful move.

He is the best example.

Swish!
Ying Zheng casually swung the Ding Qin Sword, and a sword beam flew straight towards the gatekeeper.

The moment he saw the sword light, the gatekeeper smiled coldly, and swung the long spear in his hand with all his might, directly shattering the sword light.

"Can something like this be called an attack? It seems that your strength is not as good as the one lying on the ground. If that's the case, I will defeat you in one move. There is too little fun in fighting you, and..."

While the gatekeeper was speaking, Ying Zheng had already swung the Dingqin Sword once again. This time, he infused nearly 40% of his spiritual energy into the Dingqin Sword, and the entire sword was filled with astonishing spiritual energy.

Looking at Ying Zheng launching the same attack as last time, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Don't you even know the second attack method? How boring! This kind of attack, even if you use it a hundred times, will never cause any harm to me."

The gatekeeper, like last time, waved his halberd with one hand to try to block the attack of Ding Qin Sword.

Ping!
The Ding Qin sword and the halberd collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

I thought I could easily block this move, but the moment the weapons of both sides collided, the smile on the gatekeeper's face disappeared, replaced by a shocked expression.

"How... How is this possible! This attack is even more powerful than the one that guy just used all his strength to attack. How is this possible!"

The gatekeeper was shocked and was knocked away by Ying Zheng's sword, falling heavily to the ground.

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."

The power of this sword was so great that the gatekeeper couldn't help but spit out blood.

"I underestimated you before, but this time, I will use all my strength. You must be careful and don't let me kill you!"

When the gatekeeper said this, he stood up, holding the halberd in both hands and holding it in front of him.

"Thunder Dragon Square Heavenly Halberd!"

Along with a loud roar from the gatekeeper, the entire halberd suddenly emitted bursts of lightning, and the entire halberd was also filled with golden lightning.

After the gatekeeper continued to infuse spiritual energy, the lightning around the halberd became more and more dazzling.

Naturally, Ying Zheng saw the power of this move at the first moment, so he poured all the remaining spiritual energy in his body into the Ding Qin Sword.

hum!
Due to the infusion of a large amount of spiritual energy, the sword body of the Ding Qin Sword emitted bursts of sword sounds.

boom!
The gatekeeper shot the long spear covered with lightning in his hand directly towards Ying Zheng.

The halberd quickly approached Ying Zheng, leaving a long, pitch-black space crack behind it.

The power of this move is much stronger than the previous fight with Yinglong. If the gatekeeper could use this move just now, Yinglong might not even have the chance to lie down and watch the show.

Yinglong was also surprised when he saw the powerful force of the move used by the gatekeeper. He knew very well that if he used this move when he was in a good condition, maybe it would work.

But under the influence of the barrier, he could only exert 80% of his usual strength or even less. It was simply impossible for him to take on the goalkeeper's move.

Therefore, Yinglong was also very worried about Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng, like him, was also trapped under the barrier, and his cultivation was suppressed at the level of Nine-Turn Golden Immortal. In this extremely unfavorable situation, Yinglong didn't know whether Ying Zheng could take this move.

Among the three people present, only Ying Zheng remained calm when facing this move, because he knew that he could take it, or in other words, with the blessing of the Ding Qin Sword, this move was not enough to threaten him.

Swish!
Ying Zheng swung the Dingqin Sword once again, but this time the Dingqin Sword carried more than 50% of his spiritual energy.

Bang!
Boom!
With two consecutive sounds, the Ding Qin sword and the halberd collided with each other, making a deafening explosion.

Ying Zheng and the gatekeeper, who were at the center of the explosion, were all blown back by the blast. Ying Zheng took several steps back before he came to a stop. The Ding Qin sword in his hand no longer shone as brightly as before.

As for the gatekeeper, he was blown away by the explosion, leaving a long and narrow pit on the ground.

After enduring such an explosion, the gatekeeper could no longer stand up and vomited blood from his mouth.

Ying Zheng didn't even look at the gatekeeper in the distance, but slowly walked to Yinglong, took out a pill and handed it to Yinglong.

"You probably didn't use your full strength just now, did you? Otherwise, with the strength of that gatekeeper, he might not be able to defeat you."

After Yinglong swallowed the pill, he answered Ying Zheng's question.
"I didn't expect that this old man could fight so well. I underestimated him. However, the strength of His Majesty the Human Emperor is truly unfathomable. I know the strength of that old man very well. I didn't expect that even after being enhanced by the elixir, he was still easily defeated by His Majesty the Human Emperor."

Ying Zheng did not take Ying Long's compliments seriously. After handing the pill to Ying Long, Ying Zheng set his eyes on the gatekeeper and said, "You have already lost. Can you take me into the real ruins now?"

The gatekeeper struggled to get up, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Ying Zheng.

He could feel that the man in front of him did not use his full strength when he defeated him just now.

If it were somewhere else, the gatekeeper might not be afraid, but here they are inside the barrier, everyone's cultivation level is the same, and the gatekeeper is even blessed with elixirs, but in the end he was still easily defeated by the person in front of him.

This shows how unfathomable this person's strength is.

Since the winner had been decided, the gatekeeper didn't say anything more. After standing up, he took out a piece of jade from his arms, and then, holding the jade, he drew a circle in the air. Then, after the gatekeeper muttered something for a while, a portal appeared out of thin air in front of Ying Zheng.

"The real ruins are on the other side of the portal. Please go in."

"What I'm going to say next is my personal advice. There are many guardians in the ruins who are stronger than me, and many of them have the same barriers as mine, so before you take action, you'd better make a foolproof plan."

The gatekeeper said this simply because he didn't want to see Ying Zheng, the man who defeated him, die in the ruins because of carelessness.

Hearing the gatekeeper's reminder, Ying Zheng did not say anything, but just nodded slightly. Then, without caring about Yinglong behind him, he walked directly into the portal.

Seeing this, Yinglong quickly followed Ying Zheng, but before entering the portal, he did not forget to say to the gatekeeper:
"Just wait for me! I'll fight you after I come out of the ruins!"

The gatekeeper smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Let's talk about it when you can get out of the ruins alive."

Just like entering the portal before, the scene in front of me changed in the blink of an eye.

When the scenery changed from illusion to reality, Ying Zheng and Ying Long had already appeared in a forest, surrounded by towering trees that reached the sky.

At the same time, Ying Zheng had mobilized his mid-quasi-saint realm spirit stones to spread out in all directions, and all the surrounding monsters and spiritual treasures were discovered by him.

However, even so, he still did not find the magical treasure he was looking for.

"According to what the gatekeeper said just now, this should be the real ruins, but why can't I still sense the aura of that spiritual treasure?"

Ying Zheng seemed to be talking to himself.

But after hearing this, Yinglong immediately said:

"Your Majesty, it looks like this forest is quite large. Why don't we keep moving forward? Perhaps we will find something else."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

The two continued to move forward and discovered a lot of spiritual herbs and rare minerals on the way. Although Ying Zheng did not take any action, Yinglong collected all these things.

Yinglong is not like Ying Zheng, who can take out rare elixirs at will. Ying Zheng looks down on these things, but to Yinglong, they are rare treasures.

The two men continued to move forward for another half an incense stick of time, and suddenly they heard a muffled breathing sound and smelled a pungent smell of blood.

"Your Majesty, it looks like a battle has just taken place up ahead. Not only that, but some people may have died in this battle."

Although they did not see the battle ahead, the spiritual energy floating in the air told them that a fierce battle must have taken place not far from them.

"Your Majesty, should we go over and take a look, or what?"

"Go and have a look."

The two men walked forward for a distance and saw a male lion lying on the ground licking his wounds not far away. It had a wound on its paw and one on its back. The wound on its paw had stopped bleeding after it licked it, but the wound on its back was still bleeding.

A few steps in front of the lion, a giant bear was lying in a pool of blood. The bear looked very miserable, with scars all over its body. Judging from the scars, it was the lion that killed the bear.

Just as Yinglong was about to speak, he heard the lion suddenly speak in human language:
"Are you here to grab the Fortune Flower as well?"

Flower of creation?
Yinglong had actually heard of this thing. It was used to make the Creation Pill. By using the Creation Pill, monsters could transform into human form ahead of time. For monsters, it was a very valuable spiritual herb.

It's just that the gatekeepers just now all had the cultivation level of Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. Logically speaking, the monsters in these so-called real ruins would definitely not have a cultivation level lower than that of Nine-Turn Golden Immortal. For monsters at this level, transforming into a human form is a piece of cake.

"We are not interested in this good fortune flower. Did you kill the black bear just for a good fortune flower?"

When the lion heard Yinglong's words, he slowly stood up and looked at Ying Zheng and Yinglong with a puzzled look.

"You two are not from this Qiankun illusion, right?"

Illusion of heaven and earth?

This was the first time that both Ying Zheng and Ying Long heard this word, but neither of them showed it.

"Although we are not from this Qiankun Fantasy World, we often enter this environment. I..."

Before Yinglong could finish his words, he heard the lion suddenly burst into laughter.

"Stop talking nonsense. Once you enter this illusion, you cannot leave until you get the approval of the master of this environment."

"Also, this Qiankun Fantasy Realm has a most terrifying rule, which you probably haven't discovered."

"The spiritual energy here is not automatically generated like in the outside world. In other words, the spiritual energy in this illusion is limited. Whether you want to improve your cultivation or refine pills, you can only snatch spiritual energy from others. You can't survive by relying solely on the spiritual energy in your body."

what? !

After hearing what the lion said, Yinglong was stunned.

Because he had not entered the state of cultivation, he had not sensed the spiritual energy here, so he was so shocked after hearing the lion's words at this moment.

Ying Zheng did not react at all, because the moment he entered the illusion, he had used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, so he already knew that there was a lack of spiritual energy here.

Just as Yinglong was thinking, the lion spoke again:

"Since we have met, please contribute all your spiritual energy to me!" (End of this chapter)
