Chapter 78: Entering the Abyss, Entering the Tomb Palace, and the Ancient King on the Bloody Throne
"Actually, they all heard about the selection of a new king, so they couldn't wait to come and see."
Queen Jiuyou explained softly, with a hint of a smile in her tone.
Wang Feng looked at her coldly, with an expression of "It depends on whether I believe it or not" written all over his face.
Seeing this, Queen Jiuyou covered her lips and chuckled: "Okay, okay, no matter how I explain it now, you won't believe it. In that case, please do as you please~"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared like a phantom, as if she had never appeared.
Wang Feng's eyes flashed a few times, then he turned and flew towards the entrance of Shayuan.
"Troublesome female ghost."
At this time, the dark wind from the Shayuan was sweeping over, as if countless cold ghost claws were tearing their bodies apart.
If they were the descendants of the ancient king, these cold winds would only be like a cold breeze blowing on their faces and would not cause any harm.
However, Wang Feng and Mo Fan were obviously not descendants of the ancient king, and the cold wind was tantamount to torture for them.
However, Mo Fan had the protection of the little loach, and Wang Feng had the power of the Black Snake Sky Armor and the Azure Dragon, so the dark wind from the Shayuan did not cause any substantial harm to them.
"The imperial mausoleum is right below, let's go!"
Wang Feng took a look at the Purgatory Furnace, which was a hundred times more terrifying than the entrance to hell. Without any fear in his eyes, he jumped in without hesitation.
Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Fang Gu, and Su Xiaoluo followed closely behind. Without the slightest hesitation, they resolutely jumped into the Abyss.
The dark abyss was like a huge mouth, swallowing them up in an instant.
…
Passing through layers of ghost shadows, the surrounding space seemed to be constantly distorting and changing.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Feng suddenly felt his eyes blurred and the surrounding scene suddenly became clear.
What appeared before his eyes was a towering white tomb palace.
After just a few seconds, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, and Fang Gu also woke up one after another.
"Is this the ancient king's mausoleum? How exaggerated."
Mo Fan looked at the white tomb palace in front of him and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, his eyes full of shock.
"Okay, don't waste time, let's go." Wang Feng walked directly into the tomb palace without any hesitation.
Everyone followed closely behind him, passed through a deep corridor, and came to a cliff.
In front of the cliff, a strange lotus bloomed quietly, and the petals were glowing with a strange light, as if containing some mysterious power.
"Oh no, it's the Eternal Life Lotus!" Fang Gu's face suddenly changed.
"What is the Eternal Lotus?" Mo Fan asked curiously.
Fang Gu took a deep breath and explained, "The Eternal Lotus is a mysterious lotus that is said to be immortal. The ancient teachings of our Yangyang Village state that the bridge leading to the altar will only appear when the Eternal Lotus dies."
"Immortal? How can there be such a thing as immortality in this world, let alone a monster that has been extinct in the outside world for thousands of years?"
Wang Feng shook his head, walked forward, reached out and plucked the Eternal Life Lotus, then threw it to Mo Fan: "Go and absorb it, it should be able to help you advance to a higher level!"
With Wang Feng's current strength, he is unable to destroy the Eternal Lotus at all.
But Mo Fan was different, he had the Little Loach. The Little Loach was not just the Azure Dragon Soul, but more importantly, it also contained a Styx River.
The power of the Styx is enough to refine this spiritual creature between life and death.
Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. He had long noticed Little Loach's desire for the Eternal Life Lotus, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
He took the Eternal Life Lotus to the side, found a corner and began to refine it.
…
About half an hour later, the cliff in front suddenly flickered, and then a new road appeared out of thin air, as if extending from the void.
"Success, success?" Fang Gu swallowed, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Mo Fan showed an excited smile on his face.
The power of the Eternal Lotus not only allowed him to successfully break through, but also broke through the high-level barriers of both the fire and thunder elements in one go, becoming a dual-element high-level mage.
"Well, let's keep going. We're not far from the Bloody Throne."
…
After passing through a palace filled with thousands of lifelike and graceful jade carvings of fruit girls, they came to the edge of a dark cliff again.
The black gale swirled around both sides of the stone platform, making a low whimpering sound, as if it would drag people into the abyss at any time.
At the end of the cliff, ten white flying arch bridges span the darkness. The bridges are majestic and magnificent, like flying dragons, going straight into deeper darkness.
"This is... the Bridge of Life and Death!" Fang Gu exclaimed.
"A narrow escape from death?" Mo Fan shuddered at the words and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Fang Gu took a deep breath and explained, "Nine bridges to the gates of death and one bridge to the gate of life. Our ancient teachings mentioned it, but they didn't specify which one was the bridge to the gate of life."
"Brother Wang, what should we do?" Zhang Xiaohou looked at Wang Feng.
Wang Feng thought for a moment, then turned to look at Fang Gu: "If it were you, which path would you choose?"
Fang Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ten arch bridges, hesitated for a moment, and pointed to one at random: "This one."
"Okay, let's go to this one!" Wang Feng nodded.
Fang Gu was stunned and quickly shook his head, "No, there are five of us in total. If we each take one, there's still a 50% chance of reaching the altar. If we all take one, what if we hit a dead end?"
"The Death Gate is fine. I can get you all out."
After Wang Feng finished speaking, several vines extended from his hands and quickly wrapped around the waists of Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Fang Gu, and Su Xiaoluo.
Then, without hesitation, he led everyone onto the arch bridge chosen by Fang Gu.
…
Fang Gu was indeed like a child of destiny. The arch bridge he chose was consistent with the original timeline and was the only way out.
Wang Feng and his group easily crossed the arch bridge and stepped onto the platform opposite.
The moment they stepped onto the platform, the nine Death Gate Bridges behind them collapsed, and the rubble fell into the abyss with a deafening roar.
In the end, only the dragon arch bridge they had walked across was left, spanning the abyss alone.
"Oh my god, luckily, the bet won with a one in ten chance!"
Fang Gu's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Su Xiaoluo were in similar situations. After all, the psychological pressure they had just experienced was simply too great.
They were breathing heavily, their faces filled with relief at having survived the disaster.
"You guys take a break, I'm going to the altar first."
Wang Feng didn't stop, turned around and stepped onto the stairs leading to the bloody altar.
…
Soon, Wang Feng climbed the last step and reached the top of the altar.
What comes into view is a blood-red throne carved from blood-red jade.
The throne is crystal clear, with sharp edges and corners, as if it is made up of countless upside-down swords, exuding a sharp kingly aura.
On the throne, there was a set of black armor.
There was no dust on the armor, and even after more than two thousand years, it still reflected a cold light, as if it had just been made.
The armor was unworn, yet it seemed to have a life of its own.
One arm supported the helmet and the body was slightly tilted, as if a sleeping king was waiting for something.
"You're here?"
