Strangely enough, at that moment, everyone clearly felt that the air around them had become noticeably fresher.
It's much more humid now, and not as hot as before.
The giant python that had been watching from the sidelines had vanished without a trace, leaving only the chilling voice continuing within the dark cave.
However, the sound stopped after a while, and then a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
Along with that came a dazzling light, strands of light swirling around and illuminating the narrow passageway in no time.
"you……"
Jiang Jinyu, after all, had some knowledge, and immediately looked at the old man who had just appeared with some surprise and uncertainty.
The old man looked very thin, but he was in good spirits, and his slightly sunken eyes also showed a bit of vitality.
"What a coincidence! Isn't the world facing a crisis?"
The old man smiled faintly and said.
“You are…” Jiang Jinyu began.
His eyes remained fixed on the old man, scrutinizing him from head to toe, as if he looked somewhat familiar.
The old man's gaze fell on Jiang Jinyu. "If we're talking about blood ties, you'd probably have to call me 'Ancestor'."
At this point, the old man's expression became more serious, and his voice became more rhythmic. "I am the chief disciple of the Creator God, the Dragon Emperor, and I am of the same lineage as the ancestor of the extraterrestrial demons who betrayed us back then."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, then slightly surprised. Jiang Jinyu frowned and immediately said, "You are the Dragon Emperor ancestor?"
The Dragon Emperor is the origin of the Dragon Clan. He is the Dragon Tomb who recently emerged from seclusion. When people see the Dragon Emperor, they all respectfully call him Ancestor.
Perhaps recognizing Jiang Jinyu's identity, the Dragon Emperor spoke to her with exceptional gentleness, like a kind elder treating a junior.
"That's right. I never expected that the Dragon Clan would have offspring who would enter this world. I suppose the Great Thousand World has reached its most dangerous state."
Jiang Jinyu nodded and said, "Ancestor, nearly two-thirds of the Great Thousand World has now fallen, including the Dragon Clan, the Great Qin Domain, and the Divine Domain. Fortunately, my great-grandfather Longling has emerged from seclusion, and with his spiritual power, he has barely managed to control the situation, but it is only a drop in the ocean."
"Without several martial artists at the Spirit God level to oversee things, it would be no easy task to reclaim the lost territory and seal the extraterrestrial demons back into the realm. I wonder if the Ancestor has any solutions?"
In fact, Jiang Jinyu's purpose in saying this was to place all her hopes on the old man, the Dragon Emperor.
After all, the legendary spirit array brought them to this godforsaken place, where they met the ancestor of the dragon race and the chief disciple of the creator god. It's hard not to suggest that there was a connection between them.
"There is no so-called method, but... I can give you a sliver of a chance. Whether you can seize it or not is up to you. But I'm warning you now, this sliver of a chance is a death sentence."
"The path to divinity has been severed by the Creator God. Without the path to divinity, no divinity has ever appeared in the Great Thousand Worlds for so many years. Of course, you must seize this opportunity. As for whether you succeed in the end, that is up to you."
After speaking, the Dragon Emperor took the lead and left. He walked very slowly, seemingly intending for Lu Shan and the others to follow. However, the others walked quite fast, so they did not create any distance between them.
After walking for an unknown amount of time in the pitch-black passageway, they finally saw specks of light appear. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a spirit array in front of them, emitting clusters of light.
The light was very faint, almost imperceptible, like the light of a firefly, but it could still be barely seen in the pitch black space.
To everyone's surprise, they saw the Dragon Emperor stride away, and in the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the spirit array.
As the Dragon Emperor disappeared, the spirit array suddenly lit up, its light dazzling, and a surge of immense spiritual power crashed down with extreme ferocity.
In a short moment, the spirit array unleashed a powerful force.
At its peak, it reached the level of a spiritual god.
Although they were all only at the Saint level, they could clearly sense the threat in front of them.
Lu Shan instinctively stood in front of the group, then took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "I'll go try. If I'm fine, then you can go in..."
As he was about to go in, Jiang Jinyu stopped him. He turned around and saw Jiang Jinyu's firm expression as she said, "We'll go together. We've already come all this way, so we're bound to be together for good. It'll be good for us to have each other's company."
Lu Shan thought for a moment and then did not refuse. Soon, the group walked in slowly. Although they walked side by side, Lu Shan still subconsciously stood in front of Zhang Ling'er. His spiritual power had already been quietly circulating. If there was any accident, he would send Zhang Ling'er out immediately.
After all, in his heart, Zhang Ling'er's status had far surpassed that of himself.
Zhang Ling'er saw this little thought and felt a warm feeling in her heart. Even though she was facing a very fierce predicament, she felt enveloped by a warm current.
As soon as he touched the spirit array, the spiritual light was immediately drawn to him and covered his skin. Lu Shan was slightly surprised, but the spiritual power in his body surged for a moment. In just a split second, he heard a crisp sound.
At this moment...
The sound of a breakthrough.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately used his divine sense to investigate. His previously depleted spiritual sea was now completely filled, and like a tsunami, wave after wave surged forth.
In other words, he had broken through, and the little divine soul figure symbolizing the Saint King Warrior was quietly floating above the spiritual sea.
"I've broken through!"
Lu Shan was immediately delighted to see the group.
But Jiang Jinyu's face revealed a strange smile. She stared blankly at herself for a moment, then exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "I think... I've reached the Quasi-Emperor level!"
He was originally only at the Saint realm, at most a mid-stage Saint, not to mention the insurmountable gap between him and the Saint King.
Moreover, even the most outstanding members of the Dragon Clan took several hundred years to progress from Saint to Saint King, and then from Saint King to Quasi-Emperor.
This is still considered short. This is with the vast Dragon Clan pouring in resources without reservation. It can be said that with such a large accumulation of resources, even if that person is only a Saint, he could probably reach the Saint King level.
As for realms above Saint King, they rely entirely on strength and luck; these are far too profound and ethereal, entirely beyond human reach.
