The laws above are extremely profound, and countless laws intertwine to form ancient divine restrictions. Even with his current strength, he cannot fully understand these ancient divine restrictions.
It is conceivable how powerful the being who laid down the ancient divine restriction was, far beyond the likes of Yama.
If Yama and others were placed in the ancient mythological era, they would probably have to give gifts to the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the South Heavenly Gate before even going to the Heavenly Court, and they would have to pay homage to Erlang Shen's Howling Celestial Dog.
Fang Xiu placed his hand on the ancient divine barrier, which immediately attracted endless divine light. His hand disappeared instantly, as if it had been erased by some invisible force.
His expression remained unchanged as he gazed at his broken hand, sighing slightly, "Even after countless years and the ancient war between gods and demons, being battered and broken, it still possesses such great power. The ancient gods and demons were probably even more powerful than we imagined."
If it weren't for the ability to become ethereal, no god could have entered this place back then.
The next moment, Fang Xiu's palm returned to normal, and he activated his ethereal transformation to step into Kunlun Mountain.
After passing through layers of laws and regulations, a vast and desolate scene came into view.
Just like back then, time seemed to have left no trace on the Kunlun Mountains. The earth looked as if it had been soaked in blood and then solidified into a rotten reddish-brown color. It looked cold and lifeless, with a desolate and empty landscape in sight. Scattered on the ground were some huge skeletons, like the bones of some kind of prehistoric behemoth.
This place was shrouded in darkness, like the end of the world at dusk, and shrouded in a faint black mist.
On the vast, boundless reddish-brown earth, besides the white bones, there were also broken soldiers' remains, fragments of armor, and many long-withered feathers.
A desolate and chilling atmosphere swept over us.
Ignoring all the skeletons, he traveled a hundred miles in the direction he remembered, and suddenly, a mountain peak appeared out of thin air.
The mountain peaks soared into the clouds, steep and dark red, as if stained with blood, and were shrouded in an eerie black light and shadow.
Above the mountain peak, a blood-red cloud covered the sky, with countless corpses and remains silently suspended within it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
From a distance, an aura of death permeated the air.
This mountain didn't exist before; it only appears when you get close, just like in a game where the screen only loads when you get close.
The mountain is covered with countless ancient divine fortifications, more than twice as many as those in the Kunlun Mountains outside the world, and similarly, there are even more corpses.
This mountain is the very mountain range where the ancient artifact Kunlun Mirror is kept.
Fang Xiu walked into the mountains with ease and found the dilapidated palace. Stepping inside, he was greeted by a scene of corpses scattered all over the ground. All sorts of skeletons were mixed together, and it was impossible to piece together a complete shape.
These skeletons were all trying their best to climb towards the center of the palace, their skeletal arms raised high, as if they were fighting for something.
In the very center of the palace stood a huge bronze mirror, taller than a person, covered in rust, its surface dim.
This is precisely Fang Xiu's goal for this trip: the Kunlun Mirror!
The Kunlun Mirror stood quietly in the center of the palace, seemingly unchanged since time immemorial, unaffected by Fang Xiu's arrival.
Until Fang Xiu invoked the Law of Time!
Buzz!
The ethereal power of time surged into the Kunlun Mirror.
In an instant, the originally rusty bronze mirror suddenly shone with brilliant golden light. The rust slowly faded away, revealing mysterious patterns carved in gold. The murky mirror surface became as clear as the sky, as if it could reflect a person's soul.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xiu immediately intensified his efforts, intending to imprint his mark on the Kunlun Mirror so that it would recognize him as its master. However, no matter how hard he tried, the Kunlun Mirror showed no further reaction.
"Is my strength still insufficient?" he muttered to himself.
Given his current strength, he could refine any divine artifact and make it recognize him as his master, but he was helpless against an ancient divine artifact like the Kunlun Mirror.
However, this only fueled his determination to possess the Kunlun Mirror. With strength comparable to a true god and the fact that even the time laws of the same origin could not gain the Kunlun Mirror's approval, one can imagine how powerful the Kunlun Mirror was.
"How should I proceed?"
When in doubt, consult the Kunlun maggot.
The last time the Kunlun Mirror was activated, it was done by the Kunlun Maggots, so the Kunlun Maggots must have a way.
With this thought in mind, he began to contact the Kunlun maggot in his consciousness: "Come to Kunlun Mountain to see me immediately."
After sending the message, he cut off the connection between the two without waiting for Kunlun Maggot's reply. He didn't care whether Kunlun Maggot had time or it was convenient for him, because he was going to come eventually, and Kunlun Maggot couldn't bear the consequences of not coming.
Afterwards, Fang Xiu left the palace where the Kunlun Mirror was located and turned to head towards the back mountain.
The arrival of the Kunlun maggots would take time, and he didn't intend to waste that time. Instead, he would plunder all the treasures in the immortal tombs on the back mountain.
The back mountain.
Towering and majestic tombs stand tall, stretching endlessly. A terrifying aura emanates from the tombs, eclipsing the sun and moon and plunging the world into darkness. Faintly visible are the imposing, illusory figures, their faces indistinct.
The moment Fang Xiu stepped into the tomb complex, boom!
A terrifying power swept in, and countless phantom images of ancient immortals and gods appeared, almost crushing the heavens.
In a daze, he felt as if he were facing the ancient gods directly.
He knew that this was the remaining power of the immortals and gods protecting the tomb complex to prevent the corpses from being disturbed.
When he arrived here, he relied on etherealization to successfully enter the tomb of the Supreme Heavenly Master, the Jade Emperor, who is also the Jade Emperor.
Coming here again today, I have a different feeling.
Why would these ancient gods and immortals leave behind their power to protect their tomb complex when they are already dead?
With his current eyesight, he could naturally see that these tombs were arranged in some mysterious orientation, forming a great array to block intruders. The mystery of this array was no less than that of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, but it did not have such a powerful energy source to support it.
Imagine this: during the war between gods and demons, the gods and immortals, who were already at a disadvantage, should have fought with all their might. Instead, they chose to expend their energy to build tombs for themselves and set up great formations to protect their corpses. This seems somewhat illogical.
In a true life-or-death battle, who would choose to bury themselves in the line of duty?
Unless... the ancient gods and immortals had other purposes.
Based on what Yama said earlier, the souls of the ancient immortals and gods and the ancient demons were sealed in the underworld. Perhaps... this could be a means of resurrection left by the ancient immortals and gods for themselves?
Wait, something's not right!
Fang Xiu suddenly realized something: the final battle between gods and demons that Yama had mentioned before was in the underworld.
It was the ancient immortals and gods who led the demons into the underworld, and then they self-destructed, both sides perishing together. Their physical bodies disintegrated, and their souls were sealed in the underworld. If the ancient immortals and gods all died on the battlefield of Kunlun Mountain, then who fought the demons in the underworld in the final battle?
