This ferocious beast looks like a red leopard, with five tails and one horn, and a ferocious and cruel head.

Shen Yuan couldn't even see the beast's movements clearly. He could only see the palace and the vision of gods and Buddhas in the sky suddenly collapse. Then the immortal with an ancient aura flowing around his body revealed the true form of the beast.

Between movement and stillness, the eighteenth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower seemed to be shaking as well. This was definitely not a creature that could survive in the lower world.

However, this ferocious beast that has already entered the fairyland is now crawling humbly at Shen Yuan's feet, as docile as a large cat.

"hideous?"

Shen Yuan recognized the identity of this ferocious beast at a glance. It was a ferocious beast that had long disappeared in the ancient times of the Xuanhuang Realm, a true prehistoric alien species.

In this afterlife, if there is a ferocious beast that has the blood of a ferocious beast, it can be said to have unlimited potential, not to mention the pure-blooded ferocious beast in front of him that has already entered the fairyland.

Such primitive and strange species can probably only be found in the upper realm.

However, what really caught Shen Yuan's attention was not the species of the ferocious beast, but the name he just said.

"Emperor Donghua?"

He recited the name subconsciously in his mind, and then Shen Yuan felt his soul tremble slightly, and the flame transformed from the seed of divine power to drive away gods in front of his chest began to flicker.

Shen Yuan's consciousness began to soar beyond this world, as if he saw a magnificent palace standing in the sun above the thirty-three heavens.

The palace has nine floors in total, guarded by the gods of the Zhoutian and the stars of the Milky Way. There are five steps in total, and those who come in and out are all the Eight Gods and the Nine Star Gods. Without the protection of the Heavenly Court, they are not even qualified to step onto the steps.

At the highest point of the nine-story palace, an emperor wearing a golden and red imperial robe and a glazed pearl crown sits on the throne. His body merges into the sun and turns into the sun and stars, illuminating all realms and directions. His will extends to countless worlds along the Shinto path, and billions of gods and spirits all praise his honorable name.

"Emperor Shaoyang of Donghua Purple Mansion!"

As Shen Yuan's consciousness was fixed on the supreme emperor whose body merged into the sun, the emperor in the dark seemed to sense something, and his slightly closed eyes on the throne seemed to be about to open.

Shen Yuan's heart trembled, and he quickly gathered his consciousness and returned to his body.

At the same time, the Zhoutian gods stationed in front of the Sun Palace seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the palace on the top floor of the Sun Palace.

At this moment, an immortal wearing a fairy crown and holding a golden scroll came on the clouds and was about to step into the Sun Palace, but was stopped by the Zhoutian general who was guarding the palace.

"Immortal official Zuo Tianguan, begging to see His Majesty Emperor Donghua!"

Zuo Tianguan waved the golden scroll in his hand and said seriously:

"In a small world within the Xuanhuang Realm, someone gave birth to a large sun and deified it as a god.

Since ancient times, the world has not allowed the innate gods to confer divine spirits, let alone a being of such a special status as the Sun. I have come to ask for permission from His Majesty the Emperor Donghua!"

A god general wearing golden armor and with stars shining around him said in a deep voice:

"The Emperor has traveled through the realms and has not yet awakened. Please ask Zuo Tianguan to come again on another day."

Zuo Tianguan was shocked when he heard this and said quickly:

"When did His Majesty the Emperor start traveling through the realms?"

General Zhou Tian frowned when he heard this. Zuo Tianguan's question involved the Emperor's affairs, which was almost rude and presumptuous.

However, the Immortal Official is also a direct descendant of Emperor Donghua, and Zuo Tianguan is in charge of the promotion and transfer of the gods in the heavenly court. Even the Zhoutian God Generals have to give him some face, so he can only respond:

"About eighteen Guanghan moons ago."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Tianguan's face suddenly showed a look of realization.

According to what he knew, the time of Emperor Donghua's spiritual journey corresponded exactly to the time when the big sun was conceived.

Emperor Donghua is in charge of the sun and stars, and is also in charge of the positions conferred by all the gods in the heavens. The sun god conferred by the Xuanhuang Realm is most likely the work of Emperor Donghua.

“That makes sense. Among all the realms, only the Jade Emperor, the Four Imperial Gods, and the Emperor can confer titles on the gods of the sun.

The Jade Emperor and the Four Imperial Gods have not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, so the only answer can only be from the Emperor. "

"The Emperor's divine journey to the lower world to confer the title of Sun God must have other plans, and I am not in a position to publicize it rashly."

As soon as he thought of this, the worry on Zuo Tianguan's face disappeared, and he bowed to General Zhou Tian and said:

"The Emperor is traveling through the realms, I will take my leave now."

After finishing speaking, Zuo Tianguan rode the auspicious clouds and left the Sun Palace.

In the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, after catching a glimpse of the magnificent Sun Palace and the majestic figure of Emperor Donghua, Shen Yuan almost immediately determined the cause and effect.

"The Emperor of Shaoyang in the Purple Mansion of Donghua is the supreme emperor who holds the power to drive away gods and is the source of the incense and gods of the heavens!"

In addition, Shen Yuan's stunning glance also confirmed another crucial thing.

The supreme emperor who was guarded by a group of gods and sat on the highest level of the Sun Palace had infinite Shintoism interwoven into his body, but he did not have the true power of the Shintoism.

The meaning behind this was like a thunderclap that created the world and exploded from Shen Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"The magical power of the Earthly Demon is unique in this world!"

Shen Yuan's face was more serious than ever before.

As early as when Shen Yuan bought various methods of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers in the Lingxu Market, he began to have a deeper understanding of the concept that the Earthly Demonic Powers were unique in this world.

Especially since Shen Yuan already possessed three earthly magical powers, he became even more cautious about the possible causes and effects involved.

If we only talk about the two earthly magical powers of Hu Tian and swordsmanship, even if they are the only ones appearing in this world, they will not bring about too bad causal effects.

Hu Tian is the direct descendant of Luoyun Sect, but Luoyun Sect has been completely wiped out from history by heavenly punishment. Shen Yuan is not worried about the unique conflict in this world.

The swordsmanship skill had never been recorded before ten thousand years ago and was one of the lost skills, so there was no uniqueness conflict.

What really involves the only thing in this world is the magical power to drive away gods, which Shen Yuanlian dare not touch rashly.

After entering the Zhenlong small world, Shen Yuan got a glimpse of the network of incense and gods that spread throughout the various realms of the Heavenly Court, and the source of this incense and gods was the magical power to drive away gods.

Shen Yuan could not be sure, since he possessed the supernatural power to drive away gods, whether the source of the incense and gods in this world was in heaven or in himself.

Shen Yuan has always been worried that if he used his magical power to drive away gods, it would attract the investigation of the Heavenly Court, so he tried to reduce the use of this power as much as possible during the Earth Gate Trial.

If the Eyes of Dusk had not mobilized power beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth, Shen Yuan would never have used his last resort to seal Amaterasu.

And now, Shen Yuan finally understood the only terrifying characteristic in this world.

"In the time and space ten thousand years ago, Emperor Donghua had not yet fallen, and was still the supreme emperor in charge of the incense and fire way.

However, I have come from ten thousand years of time and space with the magical power to drive away gods. The magical power of Disha has the characteristics of being unique in this world, which means that two magical powers to drive away gods cannot exist in the same era.

I have come from thousands of years of time and space, taking on an infinite future, and I shall be the real god-driving supernatural power for this world."

“Although Emperor Donghua was of high status, he had already fallen ten thousand years later.

If I did not exist in this history, he would continue to hold the position of emperor and possess the supernatural power to drive away gods, and be the emperor of the origin of Shinto who commands all realms.

But since I exist in this world, the magical power to exorcise gods possessed by Emperor Donghua of this world is denied from the root.

He is the fake Donghua Emperor, but I am the real Donghua Emperor?"

While Shen Yuan was in shock, Zheng was also quietly looking at the silent Shen Yuan. In front of Zheng's eyes, although Shen Yuan's body had been affected by the final dusk and had entered an ageing state, it was still full of vitality, nurtured by the original light of the rising sun.

Two completely different sun powers of dusk and sunrise lingered around Shen Yuan. Coupled with the trace of the original power of incense and Shintoism that was inadvertently leaked, Zhe was certain that the person in front of him must be the Emperor Donghua who sat in charge of the Sun Palace.

Except for Emperor Donghua, no one in the world can master the original power of the incense and fire gods.

"Legend has it that Emperor Donghua sat in the Sun Palace for countless years, and would often travel to various worlds with his divine thoughts. Among the Eight Gods, several were enlightened by Emperor Donghua during his travels.

If I can get a little favor from the source of incense and gods, I may have the hope of entering the Eight Divisions of Heaven in the future. Even if I can't be ranked as a main god, I will be satisfied if I can become an auxiliary god."

Zhe never thought that the power of dusk and sunrise on Shen Yuan came from external forces, from the influence of the struggle between the Eyes of Dusk and Amaterasu for the order of heaven and earth.

As for the origin of incense and Shintoism, it is another very subtle coincidence.

At this moment, Shen Yuan obviously realized the root cause of Zhe's wrong judgment.

However, Shen Yuan would naturally not tell Zhe the truth. This ancient alien species was at least an unrivaled powerful being who had reached the fairyland. If he simply relied on his own strength, he would not be able to fight against it.

If you want to survive the final Tianmen test, you can only rely on the tiger skin of Emperor Donghua.

As his thoughts fluctuated, Shen Yuan's fear of the Emperor Donghua in Heaven dissipated a little.

Because of his existence, Emperor Donghua at this historical point lost his supernatural power to exorcise gods. As the supreme emperor who is the origin of incense and Shintoism, once exposed, it would probably bring more serious consequences.

The one who should be anxious right now is Emperor Donghua in the Sun Palace, not Shen Yuan now.

Subconsciously raising the corner of his mouth, Shen Yuan looked down at the fierce creature in front of him and said in a nonchalant manner:

"Why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhe's body trembled, and he spoke in a humble tone:

"Your Majesty, I am following the order of the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao of the Dongji Palace and am responsible for guarding the eighteenth floor of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower to prevent any creatures from the lower realms from getting their hands on this treasure."

Shen Yuan frowned slightly. He had no idea about the situation in the upper realm. He had never heard of the so-called Dongji Palace or the Great Immortal Minghao.

As for the fact that this magical artifact, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, could actually attract the covetousness of the great immortals from the upper realm and be guarded by immortals, this was beyond Shen Yuan's expectations.

Fortunately, Zhe was quite perceptive and immediately explained after he said that:

“This great immortal Minghao is a disciple of the Great Emperor Qinghua of Dongji and the Great Lord of Rescue of Suffering, Taiyi, and works in the Dongji Palace.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Xuanhuang Realm used its own human momentum and the luck of the realm to give birth to the supreme treasure, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. It contained a trace of the power of a treasure that could open up the realm and was fought over by many immortals in the upper realm.

In the end, Minghao's great celestial immortal background and strength overwhelmed all other immortals and he won the opportunity to take charge of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

However, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower is still quite a distance away from the treasure that opens the world, and it cannot even be called a treasure that is half a step away from opening the world.

Therefore, the Great Celestial Immortal Ming Hao set up a plan to attract the creatures of the Xuanhuang Realm to compete for the trial, hoping to use the fortune of the Xuanhuang Realm to refine the treasure, hoping that the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower would be promoted to a half-step opening treasure. "

As soon as Zhe opened his mouth, Shen Yuan immediately understood why the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower had such harsh trial conditions and had never had an owner for tens of thousands of years.

It turns out that this pagoda had long been regarded as a possession by the immortals from the upper realm, so naturally no one could get their hands on it.

Thinking of the key point, Shen Yuan couldn't help but his eyes flickered slightly, and Zhe, who was carefully crawling in front of Shen Yuan, said with a respectful face:

"After all, the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao has never acknowledged the master of this Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. If the Emperor takes it away, the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao will not have any objection."

What Zeng said was absolutely true. Emperor Shaoyang of Donghua Zifu was the lord of all gods in the heavens and the source of the gods in all realms. Even the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods had to show courtesy to Emperor Donghua.

Minghao is just a great immortal and has no right to refuse.

Even if Emperor Donghua asked personally, Great Celestial Immortal Minghao would definitely take the initiative to send the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower into the Sun Palace.

All the gods in the heavens know that even the position of the Eight Gods is just a matter of a word from Emperor Donghua.

If an immortal weapon that carries a trace of the aura of a world-opening treasure can be exchanged for the position of one of the Eight Gods, all the gods in the heavens would probably empty their pockets to exchange for it.

Shen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently:

"Stop talking!"

Zhe was suddenly startled, realizing his presumptuous behavior, and immediately stretched out his claws to slap his own face.

"The little god has overstepped his authority! The little god has overstepped his authority!"

The sharp claws easily tore the flesh on the fierce face, and drops of immortal blood spilled on the ground, creating huge deep pits on the solid ground of the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. The bloody power continued to rage in the deep pits.

Zhe didn't dare to use any immortal power to protect himself, nor did he dare to use his magical powers to heal his wounds. His face was covered in blood and flesh, and one could even see his immortal bones that looked like they were carved from jade.

"alright."

Shen Yuan's cold words rang out, and Zhe stopped his actions.

Although his face was covered in blood, it was not even a minor injury to him. Instead, Shen Yuan's words made him feel a little relieved.

When facing a superior, the most terrifying thing is not the superior's anger, but the fact that you don't know when you offended the superior.

Zeng has been sitting in this Xuanhuang Linglong Tower for tens of thousands of years. His cultivation has made almost no progress during these tens of thousands of years. He is eager to escape from this cage, so he wants Emperor Donghua to take away the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower. Maybe he can get some help from him and enter the Sun Palace.

But he ignored the identity of the person in front of him.

How respected is the emperor who is in charge of Shinto?

Not to mention that it is just an immortal weapon that is imbued with the aura of a treasure that opens the world, even if it is a real treasure that opens the world, he may not take it seriously.

His little thoughts should not be placed on the Emperor at all.

Zhe felt so lucky in his heart, and put away those inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

And just as Zeng lowered his head, Shen Yuan was amazed at the authority bestowed by the identity of Emperor Donghua, but at the same time he also felt a little helpless.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, but that he didn't dare to take it.

Since the great immortal Minghao has already regarded the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower as his own, if Shen Yuan touches it rashly, it will inevitably cause the great immortal Minghao to descend to the mortal world.

This fake Emperor Donghua himself could deceive Zhe, but he could not deceive the great immortal who was a direct descendant of the Dongji Palace. Once his identity was exposed, endless troubles would surely follow.

“Ten thousand years later, when Gong Buyu mentioned that the Supreme Daoist had completed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trial, he also claimed that the Supreme Daoist had refused to become the host of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda because he did not want to become a puppet of an immortal weapon.

This reason may be false, but it is a fact that we failed to capture the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower."

Shen Yuan's thoughts were in turmoil.

In fact, he didn't have much desire for the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

However, when he heard Zeng claiming that the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower had long been the treasure designated by the great immortal Minghao, and that setting up the trial was just a means to fool the world, it instead aroused Shen Yuan's rebellious psychology.

"A treasure like this cannot be given away to the Great Celestial Immortal Minghao for nothing."

Thinking back to the trial in Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and the various legends in later generations, Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up while he was thinking.

"If you can't take it away now, you may not be able to take it away in ten thousand years!"
