The Five Elements True Spirit Dharma Body is quite difficult to deal with, especially since it was created by Xu Fu using the Five Elements Treasures.
However, with Xiang Yu leading the attack and the others providing support, they managed to eliminate all the avatars while Yang Cheng and Xu Fu were locked in fierce combat.
At this moment, Xiang Yu saw that Xu Fu was trying to run away. His Overlord Spear seemed to be of little use against such a huge mountain of flesh, so he simply swung the huge bronze cauldron used as decoration in front of the Epang Palace and smashed it over.
Xiang Yu's muscles bulged, and his vital energy surged and burned.
The power of the Overlord Cauldron caused everyone present to change color.
That wasn't all. Xiang Yu swung the giant cauldron again and smashed it down, shattering the mountain of corpses into pieces. The repair speed couldn't even keep up with the recovery speed.
Xu Fu was horrified when the mountain of corpses began to writhe and suddenly ejected a ball of flesh.
The fleshy ball, carrying Xu Fu's three souls and seven spirits, was launched directly into the Epang Palace.
Yang Cheng hadn't expected this move; by the time he tried to intercept it with the Phoenix Hunting Bow, it was already too late.
"Chase!"
Yang Cheng gave a low shout, and the crowd hurriedly chased after him into the Epang Palace.
The First Emperor built the Epang Palace to serve as a new palace to replace the Qin King's palace, but it is clear that after Xu Fu took control of the First Emperor, this was merely a pretext.
However, when everyone saw the real Epang Palace, they were quite shocked.
What appeared before them was not a palace at all, but a gigantic crater!
The pit was over 500 zhang in circumference, and its surroundings were perfectly smooth, clearly indicating that it was carved out by the artisans of the Qin state.
The pit wasn't straight; instead, a stone staircase meandered down, steep and bottomless.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Yang Cheng and Xiang Yu took the lead and entered the pit.
No wonder so many craftsmen were used to build the Epang Palace over the years.
Excavating such a massive pit is no easy task, especially since the bottom is unfathomably deep, and the difficulty increases the deeper one goes.
Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "I originally thought that Xu Fu had been deceiving the First Emperor with the so-called immortality, but now it seems that Xu Fu himself is very certain about becoming an immortal, and has even reached the stage of demonic possession, making himself neither human nor ghost."
What exactly is this guy's background? Could it be that he really possesses a secret method to become an immortal?
Fusu said, "I was also present when Xu Fu first came to see my father."
Xu Fu was eloquent and had an air of otherworldly elegance, which pleased the emperor. Later, he presented the emperor with some elixirs, which did indeed have the effect of prolonging life.
At that time, the emperor was naturally very cautious. He did not take those pills immediately, but instead had the Qi cultivators around him confirm that there was no harm. He then had Zhao Gao test the pills and only took them after confirming that there was no problem. Xu Fu thus gained the emperor's trust.
Xu Fu then led five hundred boys and girls out to sea, but when they returned, the boys and girls were gone. The ship was filled with many things. I remember the ship was very heavy, and it was covered with black cloth, so no one could see what was inside.
Xu Fu then had a private conversation with his father for a while and gave him a magic pill that was said to be bestowed by an immortal. After taking it, his father actually seemed to have regained his youth and became several years younger.
From then on, Xu Fu became the emperor's confidant, gradually excluding the other Qi cultivators around the emperor and weakening the power around the emperor, until he gradually gained control of the emperor.
Over the years, Xu Fu made nine voyages, each time bringing more and more boys and girls with him, and each time his ships became larger and larger, bringing back a great deal of goods.
I don't know if Xu Fu had any secret methods to become an immortal, but this sorcerer must have discovered something extraordinary overseas that made him believe he could achieve immortality through it.
As they talked, the group got closer to the bottom of the pit and could even feel the chilling aura emanating from it.
Huge niches were carved into the stone walls surrounding the pit, each containing a large vat of whale oil with a wick inserted for lighting.
When the group finally arrived at the bottom of the pit, they discovered that it was much larger than the area above, even a thousand feet in size, like a plaza.
Below that pit, the chilling aura was intense, and even the light from the burning whale oil had a faint green hue.
The ground was littered with corpses; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the bodies of the artisans who built the Epang Palace.
Following the path of the corpses, the group finally saw what was hidden underground, and everyone's expression changed.
The existence before them was beyond description in words.
The thing was enormous, hundreds of layers high, like a giant made up of layers of human skin.
Layer upon layer, with chains connecting them, thousands upon thousands of human skins eventually formed a vague human shape.
Yang Cheng used his Heavenly Eye to look over and saw that the humanoid figure was a corpse of normal size only on its forehead. The corpse was also extremely strange. The body was clearly that of a young person, but the face was that of an old person, covered with wrinkles, layer upon layer, as if it were hundreds of years old.
However, he has a vertical eye on his forehead, and at this moment the vertical eye is still open.
This must be the remains of the immortal that Xu Fu mentioned, but Yang Cheng never expected that the remains of the immortal would look like this.
It was as if this immortal was some kind of insect molting. Each time, it would grow a little bigger and then shed the previous layer of human skin. Finally, it grew to be hundreds of feet in size and shed a human skin that was also hundreds of feet in size.
