Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 267 The Fire God's Giant Gate, Li Nezha Unleashes!

And this is also the source of Gu Jiancheng's confidence.

If he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to touch them in the slightest!

However, Yang Jian and the others did not sense any trace of Yin-Yang energy after they entered.

Gu Jiancheng sat cross-legged in the void, and marks bloomed from his palms, flying into the surrounding restrictions.

"Jian Cheng, you also know the art of restrictive formations?"

Yang Jian was taken aback when he saw this.

He thought that he was safe and sound because of Gu Jiancheng's array formation technique.

"Hehe, I know a little, but not much!"

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled.

Now, he has used the system to raise his array formation skills to the Saint King level. With the help of the Divine Eye of Insight, it is not difficult for him to break the restriction.

But what Gu Jiancheng wanted was not just to break the restriction.

Otherwise, he could have simply used the Holy King's Qi to lead everyone directly into the secret realm.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is not to break the restriction, but to make the restriction even more terrifying!

Just a moment later, Gu Jiancheng finished the upgrade and then raised his hand to hide all the restrictive runes around him.

"Alright, we can go now!"

Gu Jiancheng stood up and smiled.

"So fast!?"

Yang Jian and the other two exchanged glances, all of them horrified.

You should know that the restrictions on this secret realm were something that even Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin, the two most recognized geniuses in array formation from Tianxuan Palace, were helpless against!

"Haha, of course!"

Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and didn't explain further before heading into the secret realm.

Seeing this, the three knew it was not a good idea to press for answers, so they quickly followed.

At this moment, Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin outside the entrance gradually changed their expressions.

It had been about half a cup of tea's time since Gu Jiancheng and the others entered, but they still hadn't seen any bones thrown out!

"Something's not right, something might have happened inside!"

Finally, Lei Wanqing seemed to have thought of something, and immediately raised his hand, unleashing a divine power that landed in the entrance.

hum!

The next moment, the restrictive runes manifested, but they discovered that the runes themselves had changed!

"This, this is impossible! Someone has tampered with this barrier!?"

Xu Lin's expression also changed abruptly.

What angered and horrified him even more was that half a cup of tea's time had passed, meaning the person who activated the restriction had likely already entered the secret realm to seek the inheritance!

"Damn it, they tricked us!?"

boom!

Lei Wanqing suddenly flew into a rage, and the power of thunder surged from his body, shocking everyone.

He's the number one prodigy of Tianxuan Palace, yet he was actually made a fool of by Yang Jian and his group in front of hundreds of juniors!?

Moreover, he even boasted that his talent in array formation was unparalleled in the thirty-six domains—wasn't that an utter disgrace?!

"No, that's absolutely impossible. Yang Jian and Yang Zhao don't know anything about magic arrays. How could they possibly tamper with the forbidden area?!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhixiao could not believe his eyes.

"Perhaps it's not them, but Gu Jiancheng!"

Yu Fei, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes becoming very deep.

She always felt that Gu Jiancheng was different from others.

"Hmph, now is not the time to dwell on this, but to figure out how to enter the secret realm!"

"Lei Wanqing, I don't want to waste my time with you. This time, we'll each send a few people in to sacrifice and activate the formation!" Xu Lin said coldly, looking at Lei Wanqing.

"can!"

Lei Wanqing's expression turned ferocious, and he suddenly turned around to look at the juniors of the Thirty-Six Domains behind him.

Even though they are outnumbered, they have no choice but to agree.

Otherwise, if a real fight breaks out, all the time will be wasted, and he can't afford to wait any longer.

At this moment, all those geniuses instantly became terrified.

They came here to carry on the tradition, not to die!

In an instant, the few most talented individuals with the weakest cultivation and the least power turned around and fled.

The opportunities in hidden realms are not as important as life itself!

"Want to leave!?"

"Offering sacrifices for us is the contribution you should make!"

Lei Wanqing stretched out his large hand and directly enveloped the area in front of him!

While the cruel scene was already unfolding outside, Gu Jiancheng had already led Yang Jian and the other two deep into this secret realm.

After the restrictions were lifted, it was actually a huge cave that had been carved out by human hands.

This cave is several thousand feet in diameter and is filled with an extremely dense, ancient, and evil aura, making it extremely cold and gloomy.

"This rock wall is extremely tough; even my gun couldn't leave a mark. It's unimaginable who could have carved out such a cave passage!"

Li Nezha said in a deep voice.

"The ancient sages naturally possessed power far surpassing our own, but we have traveled for so long, why have we not yet seen a single strange spirit or wild beast!?"

"This is far too strange!"

Yang Jian then asked a question.

Immediately, the three of them looked at Gu Jiancheng.

Now, it seems that only Gu Jiancheng can answer their questions.

"Hehe, we have only just entered the secret realm, and we have not yet seen the first level, so there are naturally no alien spirits or wild beasts!"

"But it'll be soon!"

But Gu Jiancheng didn't stop, he just smiled faintly.

The first level!?

Upon hearing this, the three were even more puzzled. Could it be that Gu Jiancheng had been to this secret realm before?!

Otherwise, why would they be so familiar with it and so confident?

Gu Jiancheng, standing ahead, smiled slightly; he was naturally confident.

This is because he not only possesses the Divine Eye of Insight, which allows him to see through the evil aura here, but also because he has the map given to him by Shangguan Lin for reference.

What lay ahead was exactly what he had anticipated.

Sure enough, just a moment later, the three of them landed in front of a giant gate with Gu Jiancheng.

This colossal gate stretched across the cave, seemingly forged entirely from some kind of fiery crystal. It was adorned with astonishing fire warrior totems, their fangs like those of demons and gods, extremely ferocious, and surrounded by demons, monsters, and monsters.

It looks especially horrifying!

The intense heat surged forth, even dispelling the evil energy here!

"What's this!?"

Yang Zhao raised an eyebrow; the totem on the giant gate was truly bizarre.

"The carvings on it seem to depict ancient creatures we've never seen before—it's truly terrifying!"

"Are we blocked again?"

Yang Jian frowned.

Now, a giant gate blocks our way, and Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin are catching up behind us at any moment.

If they cannot break down the door, they will face a near-death experience!

"How did this totem end up here?!"

"No, that's impossible!"

At this moment, Li Nezha appeared extremely strange. He looked at the flaming warrior on the giant gate with disbelief.

"Why, have you seen it?"

Gu Jiancheng, who was at the very front, turned around and asked.

At this moment, he didn't know what was carved on the giant gate, but he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

"This is an ancient deity worshipped by my Li family!"

Li Nezha nodded, and then flame patterns suddenly flashed between his eyebrows. His shoulders trembled, and in an instant, a flame emanation rose directly from behind him!

For a moment, everyone's pupils shrank sharply, because they were shocked to find that Li Nezha's Dharma form was indeed extremely similar to the warrior totem on the giant gate.

Both have exposed fangs and ferocious faces, but the only difference is that the warrior on the giant gate has four arms, while Li Nezha's Dharma form has two arms.

Two arms are missing!

"That makes things much easier!"

"Nezha, lend me your primordial fire!" Gu Jiancheng raised his hand to form a seal and said directly, "This is your inheritance!"

"it is good!"

Li Nezha trusted Gu Jiancheng completely, and immediately offered up the innate sacred fire within his body to Gu Jiancheng.

The flame merged into the mark on Gu Jiancheng's palm, and then he raised his hand and struck into the giant gate.

hum!

In an instant, the giant gate emitted an extremely muffled hum, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was splitting. Visibly, a crack appeared in the giant gate!

"it works!?"

Yang Jian and the other two were overjoyed upon seeing this.

"Hmph, you ants who want to obtain the inheritance are delusional!"

But at that moment, the flames on the giant gate suddenly condensed and transformed into a fire bat, which opened its mouth and roared angrily at the four of them.

hum!

In an instant, the terrifying aura of flames transformed into raging torrents that pressed down.

Its power was terrifying, surpassing any otherworldly spirits and calamity beasts they had ever seen before!

"What the hell is this!?"

Li Nezha frowned. The fire bat's wings had spread out, almost taking up half of the cave!

"This is the guardian of the first level. To pass the level, besides breaking the restrictions, you must defeat this beast!"

"But, we can only rely on you!"

Gu Jiancheng replied without turning his head.

Now he needs to focus on breaking the formation, and he will not make any moves.

He knew that both Yang Jian and Li Nezha had trump cards they hadn't yet used!

"Since the legacy is mine, then let me inherit it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Nezha roared in anger.

Even though their cultivation levels are vastly different, he will not back down!

hum!

Immediately, as he raised his hand, a golden bracelet on his wrist suddenly flashed, its runes flowing and seeping into his body.

hum!

But the next moment, it seemed as if an extremely terrifying flame aura suddenly erupted from Li Nezha's body, and the flame dharma image behind him instantly doubled in size.

What surprised Yang Jian and Yang Zhao even more was that Li Nezha seemed like a completely different person at this moment. His eyes were fiery red, and it seemed as if endless flames were rising within them.

"Three Flames Destroy the World, Demons and Monsters, Get Out of My Way!"

With a roar from Li Nezha, the spear in his hand transformed into a thousand-foot-long giant. As the Dharma image behind him raised its hand, a spear of fiery radiance burst forth directly towards the fire beast bat!

boom!

But the fire beast instantly closed its wings, causing the impact of the spear to strike its body.

Although the fire beast retreated frantically amidst the deafening roar, it eventually stopped before the giant gate.

"Heh, you ant, you seem to be the one who inherits the legacy, but unfortunately, you are not worthy!"

boom!

The fire beast grinned, then its wings flapped and bloomed, completely dispelling the remaining power of the spear's edge!

Yang Jian's heart sank upon seeing this.

Even though Li Nezha had used a secret technique to more than double his combat power, the fire beast bat in front of him was still too strong.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't take you down!"

Li Nezha was now completely enraged. In his eyes, there was only the flames of war and killing intent. He immediately swung his musket and charged forward again.

"let me help you!"

At this moment, Yang Jian couldn't help but make a move as well.

They must deal with this fire beast as soon as possible.

At this moment, Lei Wanqing and Xu Lin had already stepped into the cave.

But now, their expressions were extremely gloomy.

In order to enter this forbidden area, they sacrificed a total of eighteen people!
