Everlasting Divine Emperor

Leng Wuhen was a self-proclaimed peerless genius. At this moment, he saw that Ye Daoxuan, with his cultivation base at the seventh step, was actually able to unleash a strength close to that of a ninth step martial artist. He knew that this young man's talent surpassed his own, so he could not help but feel jealousy and become even more determined to kill Ye Daoxuan.

Ye Daoxuan's Meteor Fist attack had already reached the peak of his battle strength, although it was astonishing, but he knew in his heart that this punch could not hurt Leng Wuhen at all, at most, it could only slow his charge a little. Therefore, when he punched out, he made a decision in his mind, as he stomped on the ground with all his might, his body took advantage of the momentum and flew towards the center of the lake.

"Plop!"

Water splashed in all directions. Ye Daoxuan's body submerged into the lake water, and in the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.

Although there were unknown dangers lurking in the lake, for Ye Daoxuan, jumping in to chase after Tang Lianxue and the others was undoubtedly the best way to protect himself.

Although accepting the protection of a bunch of women was too disgraceful and unethical, in Ye Daoxuan's view, he was still a real man. Standing there and waiting to be killed, he was a brainless fool.

Escaping today might ruin one's image and lose one's moral integrity, but when one became stronger in the future, it was fine to double the price.

Besides, what sort of moral integrity did an image have? Could it be eaten as a meal?

Just like Ye Daoxuan thought, although his Meteor Fist was powerful, it was not able to harm Leng Wuhen at all. Leng Wuhen did not even pause as he directly used his body to meet the mass of Zhen Yuan released by his Meteor Fist.

His blue shirt fluttered and his black hair fluttered in the wind. He was actually unharmed, but that mass of true essence was like ripples that dispersed in all directions, rapidly disappearing without a trace.

"Little bastard, you sure ran fast!"

Ye Daoxuan suddenly jumping into the lake took Leng Wuhen by surprise, but then, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "Do you still want those girls to protect you? If they were to be at the bottom of the lake, even they would not be able to protect themselves! When that time comes, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant! "

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he sinisterly laughed twice and then jumped into the lake as well.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings of the lake became empty. There was no one around and the lake surface became as smooth as a mirror after Leng Wuhen had entered the water.

After Ye Daoxuan entered the water, he felt a chill go down his spine. He knew that this lake was very different from ordinary water. Although it wasn't as cold as the Frost Jade Pool, normal people would be frozen after a while.

However, these dozens of people at the bottom of the lake were all powerful martial artists with extraordinary physiques. In addition to the protection of true essence, they were separated from the surrounding water by the lake water, so even though the lake water was cold, it didn't affect them at all.

Ye Daoxuan activated his zhen yuan and quickly dived towards the bottom of the lake, which was located in the middle of the lake.

Ye Daoxuan was surprised to find that in the several miles radius of the lake, there was not a single drop of aquatic plant, nor was there even a single fish or prawn. It was as if the lake had become stagnant.

The deeper the lake was, the less light there was, and the colder it got. When they were about three hundred meters under the water, they could feel an eerie aura that would make people feel cold on their backs. Ye Daoxuan thought that this was probably related to the tomb that had existed at the bottom of the lake for hundreds of years.

After diving for about three hundred feet, his feet finally touched the bottom of the lake.

"There isn't even a speck of mud at the bottom of the lake …."

Ye Daoxuan walked a few steps forward and couldn't help but to click his tongue in surprise. The ground under his feet was paved with a very flat and ancient green, as if it were the streets of a city.

After walking along the limestone for several dozen zhang, he saw the silhouette of a huge grave in front of him.

From far away, the tomb seemed to be made of some unknown material. It was jet-black, crystal clear, and jade-like. Around the tomb, there were nine seals that could be seen with the naked eye.

When Ye Daoxuan was still more than one hundred zhang away from the grave, he could already feel the intense true essence fluctuations emanating from the nine seals. Moreover, the true essence fluctuations also contained a killing intent that soared into the sky, as if sending out a warning to any warrior who dared to come close to the grave — anyone who tried to destroy the tomb would definitely die without a doubt.

It took up almost half of the entire bottom of the lake. At the southern end of the grave, there was a huge tombstone that was over a hundred feet tall, and on top of the tombstone, there were words written with wild grass: "The Tomb of Sikong".

The words on the tombstone were clearly written by Sikong Nu himself when he was still alive. In his life stories, he listed some of his brilliant achievements and lamented that although he possessed the power of the peak of the late stage of the middle stage and was known as an invincible existence under the great sky realm, he was unable to break through the great sky and met with a major change. He died at the age of 356.

On the Immortal Yuan Continent, the length of a martial artist's life was closely related to their strength. The stronger they were, the longer they lived.

A lesser celestial level martial artist could reach a maximum lifespan of 200 years, which was much higher than that of ordinary people. A ZhongTian Warrior's life span could reach up to four hundred years, and far exceeded that of a lesser celestial.

Sikong Nu was a peak late stage ZhongTian Warrior. Under normal circumstances, he could live up to four hundred years, but he was ambushed by a group of experts at the age of three hundred and fifty-six.

Sikong Mingyue's last few sentences on the tombstone let out a furious and helpless sigh. He said that if he did not die, he might be able to break through to the Sky Realm and become the strongest existence on this continent in the next few decades. However, he would be able to take care of his enemies and end this grudge.

Ye Daoxuan stood far away from the grave, and after he quickly finished reading the words on the tombstone, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. He thought to himself that it was truly a pity that someone as brilliant and talented as Sikong Nu, who was a few hundred years ago, would actually be ambushed to death. He didn't know who the enemies who would be attacking him.

At this time, in front of the tombstone in the tomb, there were dozens of figures standing in the shadows. Ten people were in a small team, and one of them was a team of ten people, including Tang Lianxue.

Suddenly, there was a sound of water behind him, Ye Daoxuan's ears twitched, he turned to look, only to see Leng Wuhen swiftly sneaking over like a fish, his fair face had a sinister look, his palms were crossed in front of his chest, Zhen Yuan surrounded his palms, and he was already preparing to attack.

Ye Daoxuan stretched out his right hand, making a thumbs up gesture before moving towards the direction of the Ru Yi Hall.

Although the dozens of people in front of the tombstone at the bottom of the lake had temporarily formed an alliance in order to break the nine restrictive spells around the tomb, each side had their own schemes and were wary of the other three groups.

When Tang Lianxue saw that it was Ye Daoxuan, she couldn't help but be startled. However, when her gaze landed on Leng Wuhen who was standing not far away, she seemed to have understood something as she faced Ye Daoxuan and said with a chuckle, "Little idiot Ye Daoxuan, is it that Leng Daoxuan that wants to kill us when we're not here?"

Ye Daoxuan nodded his head and said with a sigh, "Beautiful big sister, you are born beautiful and yet you are so intelligent. Is it really unfair that all the qualities of a woman are concentrated in you?" That's right, you guessed it right. That guy showed his claws when you guys went down into the lake. In order to protect my life, I had no choice but to go down into the lake and seek your protection … "

Tang Lianxue snorted and shot a look of protest at Leng Wuhen. Leng Wuhen knew that killing Ye Daoxuan was temporarily hopeless and he didn't want to have a direct confrontation with Tang Lianxue. Thus, he bitterly left and went to the Crimson Snake Manor where he belonged.

Seeing Leng Wuhen leave in a somewhat exasperated manner, Tang Lianxue revealed a victorious smile. She turned around and said to Ye Daoxuan, "How about this, from now on, you will follow by my side and not leave for even a moment! However... If the tomb's restrictive spell is lifted, and we enter, then in order to fight over the treasures in the tomb, I might not be able to take care of you …. "

Ye Daoxuan said, "I understand. When the time comes, I will watch out for myself. Of course, if I really get killed by the Scarlet Snake Manor's people, then the heavens will definitely kill me … Beautiful sister, I am already very grateful that you were able to protect me until now. "

Obviously, there was nothing she could do. Although she had a good impression of Ye Daoxuan and did not want him to be killed by the Scarlet Snake Manor, it was impossible for her to do so in order to protect Ye Daoxuan, a person she was not too familiar with, without taking into account the benefits of Ru Yi Hall.

Ye Daoxuan followed Tang Lianxue and stood within the Ruyi Tower's camp. At this moment, Li Yuelin and the others were mostly focused on the tomb and the nine layers of restrictions in front of them, not bothering to pay attention to him.

"Among these nine restrictions, the first six have already been destroyed by the people that came down here earlier. The ones that can actually threaten and hinder us are the last three. We cannot underestimate them. Elder Li, Elder Li, Elder Feng, let's follow our previous plans. Let's work together and destroy the last three restrictions in one go! "

An elder of the Shattered Star Manor suddenly took a step forward, his voice echoing continuously in everyone's ears.

The elder of the Broken Star Lord was named Sui Lie, and was a middle stage ZhongTian Warrior. As soon as he finished speaking, he received a response from the elders of the other three forces.

Therefore, under the lead of their respective leaders, the people of the four forces — Ru Yi Tower, Crimson Snake Manor, Wind Chasing Valley, and Broken Star Residence — lined up in a straight line and approached the grave in front of them.

It was just as Lie had said. Not long ago, the warriors of the four forces had destroyed most of the first six restrictions on the tomb. Without much defensive power, the warriors of the four forces took turns to destroy them.

However, when it came to the eighth restriction, they encountered some trouble. The eight elders of the four forces attacked together, but they didn't think that the true essence that was sent out would be blasted against that layer of water like true essence, causing it to be pushed back, causing several disciples of the four forces to be injured. One of the disciples of the Crimson Snake Manor had the heaviest injury, and after taking a large amount of pills, he was forced to the side to recuperate and recuperate.
