Buzz!
The void did not shatter, nor did any passage appear, yet Lu Tao still silently disappeared into the void.
As if there were no obstacles in the void before him, he simply merged into the space.
Just as Lu Tao was surprised, the scene before him changed, and Lu Tao found himself entering a spatial passage.
This passage was filled with auspicious clouds soaring upwards, and extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, at the same time, there was still a trace of resentment and death in the passage.
and.
These sinister forces are of high quality, seemingly a level higher than the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
It is on the same level as divine energy.
This left Lu Tao somewhat bewildered.
How could something like this exist in the ascension passage?
Lu Tao learned from Ao Bo's memories that there was also a forbidden land in the God Realm called Tianbian, which was very similar to the Tianbian Secret Realm.
But it's even more terrifying.
He had thought that the resentment in the Heavenly Change Secret Realm most likely came from the Heavenly Change Forbidden Land.
But little did he know that this resentment and death energy could actually enter the ascension passage, as if it were flowing into the lower realm from the ascension passage.
This is evident.
The terror of these resentful and deathly auras.
but.
These sinister forces, under the pressure of the auspicious clouds of ascension, could not get close to Lu Tao's body and could only wander around the perimeter of the passage.
Lu Tao sped along the ascension passage towards the realm of gods.
As he ascended, Lu Tao absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while also examining the ascension passage.
What surprised and uncertain him was...
Through his powerful clairvoyance, Lu Tao was shocked to discover that outside the ascension passage, there were enormous, cracked chains, like coiled dragons, encircling the passage and binding it.
"How is this possible?"
Lu Tao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This is supposed to be the ascension passage, yet it's bound by chains?
What kind of chains can bind the ascension passage?
This is absolutely terrifying.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Tao would have almost thought he was seeing things.
"Take a look at these chains and see what's so special about them."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Tao used his Heavenly Eye to focus his gaze on the chains.
puff!
Suddenly, Lu Tao felt as if some terrifying force had struck his eyes, and in that instant, blood gushed from them.
"Hiss..."
Lu Tao couldn't help but gasp.
Despite his formidable strength, he was utterly vulnerable to this force.
Fortunately, he only observed the chains first and had not yet had time to delve into their nature and power.
Even so, Lu Tao felt that these chains seemed even more terrifying than the power of the God King's rules.
After observing it once, Lu Tao dared not continue to use his Heavenly Eye. Instead, he took out a telescope and looked towards the ascension passage.
This time.
Lu Tao wasn't exploring the chains; he just wanted to see how long they were and whether they bound the entire ascension passage.
He discovered that the chain only partially locked the ascension passage on the side closer to the lower realm; it was still a bit short to completely lock it in place.
As for the side closer to the divine realm, even with his telescope, he couldn't see the end.
"What kind of being would set its sights on the ascension passage?"
Lu Tao was extremely shocked.
These chains only bound the ascension passage; there was no trace of chains outside the ascension passage.
It's obvious.
This means that a powerful individual is trying to exploit the ascension passage.
That's simply incredible.
It is important to know that the ascension passage is protected not only by the will of the lower realm, but also by the will of the divine realm.
But some powerful beings have committed such a heinous act, binding the path to ascension.
Its strength is absolutely terrifying.
But what's the point of locking the ascension passage?
What is the purpose of the powerful figure behind these chains?
These thoughts involuntarily surfaced in Lu Tao's mind.
pity.
His current strength is still too weak to explore further.
that's all.
With a host of thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Tao, escorted by Qinglian and Xiangyun, swiftly ascended through the ascension passage towards the divine realm.
The closer Lu Tao got to the realm of gods, the heavier the resentment, death energy, and other sinister forces became in the ascension passage.
Even the auspicious clouds that ascended seemed to be unable to resist.
Fortunately, the Azure Lotus was extremely powerful and could completely repel these sinister forces.
final.
Escorted by Qinglian and Xiangyun, Lu Tao passed through the ascension passage and successfully ascended to the realm of gods.
Before arriving in the realm of gods, Lu Tao had already placed the statue of merit on the altar.
...
"Huh? The curse has taken effect?"
True Dragon Clan.
Ao Chen was deep in thought with his eyes closed, but suddenly sensed something and instantly raised the dragon head, his eyes bright as mirrors.
A day ago, the curse targeting Lu Tao's daughter took effect, but failed, which made these god-kings even more wary of Lu Tao.
Throughout the entire day, their many god-kings discussed how to target Lu Tao using other means.
But after thinking it over, it seemed that all the underhanded methods were not very effective against Lu Tao.
If such a terrifying curse can be easily broken, then other methods will suffice.
so.
After some discussion, they finally decided that once Lu Tao ascended to the God Realm, they would capture him alive with overwhelming force.
They believed that with their immense power, no matter how extraordinary Lu Tao's talent was, his low cultivation level meant he could never escape their grasp.
That's how it is.
Instead of resorting to other underhanded methods, it would be better to increase manpower and keep a close watch on all the Ascension Pools, so as not to give Lu Tao a chance to escape.
Therefore, after Ao Chen dispatched a large number of members of the True Dragon Clan, he himself kept a close watch on the communication bead in the Dragon Palace, quietly waiting for Lu Tao to ascend.
But to its surprise, Lu Tao ascended to heaven in just one day.
Ao Chen became excited instantly and was about to pass on the news to the other god-kings.
But suddenly.
puff!
A tearing pain shot through Ao Chen's soul, causing its blood to surge uncontrollably, spitting out a mouthful of blood and making it look much weaker.
"Damn it, how could it have been resolved so quickly?"
Ao Chen was somewhat shocked and angry, but even more so, he was terrified.
Because of the considerable time that had passed since the last curse backlash, Ao Chen, despite being surprised by Lu Tao's methods, was still somewhat confident about this curse.
It's just not that absolute.
But it didn't expect that this time, the interval between the onset of the curse and the backlash would be less than a breath.
This means that Lu Tao's ability to break the curse is even stronger than they imagined.
This is absolutely terrifying.
Ao Chen didn't have time to think deeply and hurriedly informed the other God Kings, "Everyone, Lu Tao has ascended to the God Realm. My curse has taken effect, but... it failed."
In an instant, a series of exclamations came from the communication device.
"Such a terrifying curse actually failed?"
"How is this possible? What kind of monster is Lu Tao? How can he be so defying the heavens?"
...
"Quickly, ask your clansmen which ascension pool Lu Tao ascended to?"
"Yes, nothing else matters. Find the place where Lu Tao ascended to heaven immediately, and we'll head there right away."
...
Some god-kings were amazed by Lu Tao's extraordinary abilities, but the other god-kings were more concerned about Lu Tao's current position.
They couldn't feel at ease until they caught Lu Tao.
Immediately afterwards.
Many god-kings hurriedly sent messages to the members in charge of the ascension pools controlled by their respective races, inquiring whether any living beings had ascended.
That's right, the question is directed at all living beings, not just humans.
They all knew that Lu Tao was extraordinary and were worried that he might transform into another race and ascend to immortality, thus deceiving them.
But the result...
After some questioning, the answer was surprisingly no.
In all the ascension pools they control, not only in the past moment, but even in the last three days, no living being has ascended.
"How is this possible?"
"Where is Lu Tao? Didn't he ascend to heaven?"
Where did he go?
Many powerful god-kings were puzzled, and one god-king couldn't help but ask Ao Chen, "Great Venerable Ao Chen, are you sure the curse has taken effect?"
"Nonsense, how could I, a dignified God-King, make a mistake about something like this?"
Ao Chen couldn't help but roar.
Not only did the curse fail, but it was also suspected by these god-kings, which almost drove it mad.
But it was also confused. Since Lu Tao had ascended to heaven, what about the others?
The next moment.
Ao Chen's even louder roar echoed through the communication artifact: "Quickly, find Lu Tao immediately! Even if it means turning the entire wasteland upside down, we must find Lu Tao!"
Ao Chen panicked.
The reason they increased manpower to monitor the Ascension Pool was so that they could immediately capture Lu Tao after his ascension, preventing him from having time to develop.
But what about now?
All the Ascension Pools could be contacted, but Lu Tao was nowhere to be found.
This plunged the various races of the desolate region into panic.
In an instant, all members of the various races in the desolate region mobilized, searching the entire region for Lu Tao's whereabouts...
