Lan Hua nodded solemnly, "This is a decision I have made after careful consideration!"
"Your cultivation has been split into three, greatly reducing your strength. Just let it pass like this..."
I wanted to try to persuade him again, but the Emperor Qin gave up. Why bother pointing fingers at an emperor?
"Enough, come with me to heaven!"
The Qin Emperor unleashed a beam of light with both hands, his fingers rapidly forming various hand seals, which struck the white vortex above the Ascending Heaven Peak.
Upon receiving this power, the vortex immediately burst forth with dazzling light, then rapidly expanded, revealing a black hole-like passage within it.
"I will go first, you follow!"
The Qin Emperor stepped into the black hole first and quickly disappeared without a trace; Lan Hua could not detect a trace of his presence.
"So this is the passage!"
Lan Hua and Qin Lan exchanged a glance, and then followed each other into the black hole.
In a short while, Lan Hua and Qin Lan appeared in a completely new world.
Just as I regained my balance, a wave of heat rushed over me.
Lan Hua hummed in agreement and asked curiously, "Where did this heatwave come from?"
The Qin Emperor stood before Lan Hua and said calmly, "The Great Wall of Flames!"
Lan Hua was taken aback and followed the Qin Emperor's gaze.
But a million miles away, a purplish-red flame, ten thousand feet high, stretched to the horizon.
Lan Hua was completely shocked.
"Emperor Qin, is this the Flame Great Wall? I can sense the aura of the Pill Heaven Technique!"
The Qin Emperor sighed, "Indeed, this is the Flame Great Wall, laid down by the Pill Emperor, the last barrier protecting the Heavenly Domain!"
Looking at the boundless flames, Lan Hua couldn't find its beginning or end, truly resembling the Great Wall.
The power contained within that flame was immense.
"Such a fiery Great Wall can only be set up by a powerhouse at the Heavenly Emperor level. Although I can also set up a fire, it is definitely not as grand as this!"
After secretly marveling at it, Lan Hua suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said:
"Why do I feel that this Flame Wall can only barely stop a powerhouse at the Emperor level?"
The Qin Emperor explained, "Your feeling is correct."
"This Flame Wall is over 30,000 years old. At first, no one below the Emperor Realm could cross it. It's quite remarkable that the Flame Wall can maintain its power over such a long period of time."
"It's possible to stop a newly born emperor, but it's no longer possible to stop an emperor with overwhelming strength!"
Lan Huagong focused his eyes, his gaze passing through the Flaming Great Wall, trying to see the other side, but he saw nothing but endless mist.
"Why didn't this fog appear on this side?"
The Qin Emperor said, "Naturally, it's thanks to the Flame Great Wall. This was also the original intention of the Pill Emperor: to use flames to isolate the fog!"
"That mist comes from the source and cannot be burned out. Without the Great Wall of Flames, the entire second level would be filled with eerie mist, and it would be primordial mist!"
"What about the Pill Emperor?" Lan Hua asked.
"The Pill Emperor is located far away on the opposite side of the Flame Great Wall. There is mist there, which obstructs the divine sense of a monarch, so you cannot detect the location of the Pill Emperor!"
Qin Huang continued, "Dan Tiandi has trapped the Emperor-level expert at the source with his own strength, but he can't hold on much longer and needs reinforcements."
"Emperor Lan, I am about to cross the Flame Great Wall. Remember one thing: you must not cross the Flame Great Wall before you become a Quasi-Emperor."
"We must conserve our strength!"
Lan Hua nodded. "Don't worry, I won't die so easily."
Suddenly, the Qin Emperor's body shone brightly, and his body swelled up dramatically, surpassing the ten-thousand-foot-high Great Wall of Flames, and quickly disappeared from Lan Hua's sight.
Lan Hua sighed softly, showing great respect for the Qin Emperor.
Because he knew that with his quasi-emperor strength alone, this journey would be a one-way trip.
The Qin Emperor acted with righteous indignation for the future of the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm.
Lan Hua withdrew her gaze and then carefully examined the world around her.
Although the second level is named after the Heavenly Realm, it is vastly different from the Heavenly Realm, appearing entirely in its original state at a glance.
Towering trees are everywhere, but buildings are rare, making it much more barbaric than the Heavenly Realm.
However, the spiritual energy on the second level is extremely rich, much richer than that of the Heavenly Realm.
The second layer of the world is vast, no less than the celestial realm.
Lan Hua nodded slightly to Qin Lan, who then vanished without a trace in a flash.
Although Qin Lan is an avatar of Lan Hua, she is no different from the real Lan Hua, and has flesh and blood.
It possesses its own elixir fire, the Taiyin fire, and its own pure Yin primordial spirit.
Strictly speaking, Qin Lan is an independent ruler with her own ideas, and at this moment, she has an equal relationship with Lan Hua.
After all, the latter currently only possesses the Crimson Lotus Primordial Spirit.
However, since it was a branch of the true body, Qin Lan and Hua Yingxiong knew everything Lan Hua had learned, including the extremely important Dan Tian Jue.
Lanhua took this step with great risk.
If one's clone is killed, one's own strength may be greatly reduced. However, there is another possibility: one may be attacked by other clones.
Lan Hua randomly chose a direction and started walking down it.
In less than half a day, Lan Hua encountered a colossal creature, hundreds of feet tall.
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the Taotie clan?"
"Brother Tao really is from the second level!"
However, the giant beast before them had empty eyes and was emanating a monstrous black aura, much like the people infected by the mist that Lan Hua had encountered in the lower realm.
Lan Hua thought to herself, "As expected, there is also mist on the second level. This giant beast is quite powerful, at the late stage of the Profound Rank!"
However, Lan Hua was not interested in Xuan-rank experts and planned to go deeper to see if there were any other stronger beings.
The giant beast roared at Lan Hua, its black, hole-like eyes revealing a hint of excitement, as if it had finally found food.
Lan Hua frowned slightly and released a massive amount of imperial power.
But the giant beast showed no fear, roared to the sky, and then charged towards Lan Hua.
"Huh? You're asking for it!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, a beam of light shot out, then split into countless beams of light, shattering the giant beast to pieces.
If it were a normal, powerful person, upon witnessing the might of an emperor, they would certainly retreat decisively.
Even powerful individuals infected by the mist will instinctively retreat.
"It seems this behemoth is under control, which is why it doesn't feel fear. Could that excited look in its eyes be coming from the person controlling it?"
Just as Lan Hua was wondering, an even larger beast charged over; it was still a member of the Taotie clan.
"Hmm? It's a powerhouse at the Emperor level!"
Lan Hua was puzzled as to how the giant beast before her had become an emperor.
The giant beast stopped a thousand feet away, and apart from its dark and empty eyes, everything else seemed normal.
"Hey big guy, what's your background?"
The behemoth indeed spoke, saying, "I am Tao Hong, the Tao King of the Tao Clan. Boy, you have trespassed into the Origin Domain and deserve to die!"
"Shiyu?"
Lan Hua frowned slightly. "Could it be that the Origin Domain is the original name of the second level of the Heavenly Domain?"
Tao Hong snorted, "That's right, and the Origin Domain is also the birthplace of the Heavenly Domain. My Tao clan is the original Heavenly Clan, and our clansmen are born with immortality!"
"It is easier for the Celestial Clan to become emperors; there is no need for so many reasons."
Although Lan Hua was surprised, she calmly replied, "So what?"
"Even the Celestial Clan could not escape the invasion of the strange mist, and were completely corrupted and controlled by the source of the mist."
