Chapter 2019
At the Immortal King's command, nearly a hundred streaks of light instantly illuminated the eight warships—a sight of disciples urging their spiritual power to travel.
The streaks of light, like arrows, swiftly tore through the void, converging towards the center of the void.
A moment later, 126 people, including Zi Qing Shuang Jue, Xia Jiuyou, Han Jiuling, Chen Xuan, Qiu Zixian, Tian Xuan Shengzi, Dao Yi Shengzi, and Yao Guang Shengzi, were all suspended in the void in front of the eight Immortal Kings.
They gazed at the dark and deep world within the passage, their expressions solemn—this aura, this pressure, was like a completely different world compared to the previously opened Devouring Demon Star Ruins area.
Chen Xuan listened to the discussions of the disciples around him and understood: there were many old disciples in the group who had entered the Devouring Demon Star Ruins before. From their words, he could tell that the Star Ruins that were fully opened this time were much more strange and dangerous than the partial areas that had been opened before.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Eight Immortal Kings spoke again, repeating their instructions three times, their tone even more solemn than before:
"You must remember this: once you enter the Ruins, you must guard your Dao Heart at all times and never allow it to be corrupted by the strange aura within! Otherwise, at best your Dao Heart will be shattered and your cultivation ruined; at worst, you will go mad on the spot and even become a puppet controlled by the strange will of that world!"
One of the Celestial Kings added, his voice full of warning: "The Devouring Demon Star Ruins is the battlefield of the Great Battle of the Imperial Pass in the Ancient Celestial Era. Back then, nearly 40 Quasi-Emperor level experts fought here. Most of these 40 people were half-step Quasi-Emperors from the Strange Race."
"Even though they have perished for countless chaotic eras, their residual aura can still easily corrupt you! After all, your cultivation levels are still low, so you must hold fast to your principles, not be deceived by the illusions before you, and not give rise to greed. If an opportunity arises, you may fight for it, but if you feel you have no chance, you must never lay a hand on the treasure. Remember this!"
These 126 people are all top-tier combatants from the ten holy lands outside the second line of defense of the Flame Dragon Realm.
If they perish within the Star Ruins, the Flame Dragon Realm will once again become a laughingstock among the Ten Realms when it engages in border warfare 3000 years later.
For this reason, even though the Eight Immortal Kings found the words tedious, they still had to repeatedly remind their disciples, for fear that some of them might be negligent.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan and the others became even more solemn. They bowed deeply in unison, their voices resounding: "We will remember your teachings!"
"Very well! In that case, let's not delay!" a Celestial King said in a deep voice.
"Based on past experience, the Devouring Demon Star Ruins open for three to ten years at a time, with each three-year period being a critical juncture. You must remember that as the third year approaches, you must exit the perilous situation and avoid the great formation! Otherwise, once the void of that world is completely stabilized, even if the eight of us join forces, it will be difficult to tear open even a crack, and you will be trapped inside until the next opening of the Star Ruins!"
Upon hearing this, all 126 people turned pale – the ancient battlefield of immortals was full of complex formations and techniques, and a slight mistake could trap them in a deadly place. If they missed the opening time of the passage, they would have to wait tens of thousands of years to see the light of day again!
"Go!" Yao Guang Holy Lord commanded, his voice filled with expectation and solemnity.
Before the words were even finished, Chen Xuan and the other 126 Saint-level warriors simultaneously activated all their spiritual power, transforming into streaks of light of various colors, and rushed towards the extremely unstable and constantly flickering void corridor in front of them.
The sound of air being torn apart was incessant. The moment the disciples entered the passage, they stirred up ripples in the void. Then, their figures and auras completely disappeared into the dark crack, as if they had never existed.
On the distant warships, the disciples who had failed to enter the ruins—whether friends or fellow disciples—were all on tenterhooks at the sight.
They heard the eight immortal kings' admonitions clearly, but none of them expected that this opportunity that everyone envied would hide such a deadly danger.
Some secretly rejoiced that they had not been chosen and breathed a sigh of relief; others were filled with passion and resentment—they were willing to risk their lives for the Great Dao, but unfortunately, they were either not advanced enough or lacked sufficient foundation, and ultimately missed this opportunity.
