Immortal Devil Transformation

This wave of power that blasted Lin Xi flying even far exceeded Purgatory Mountain Patriarch’s Sacred Master level power in front of Thousand Leaf Pass. Even though Lin Xi was already at the sacred level, only Zhang Ping’s body tougher than his in this entire world, Lin Xi could tell that his body was already blasted to an irreparable state from this wave of power.

As such, he directly pushed that ‘roulette’ in his head when he instinctively sensed danger.

He returned to a breath ago. His body immediately stopped right before he stepped into that zone of death. At the same time, he gave Gu Xinyin, Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue a fierce low shout. “Don’t go any further!”

The three of them immediately stopped behind him.

Lin Xi’s heart pounded intensely. He would already be dead if he didn’t have the Divine General ability. A wave of fear continued to spread through his body, making even his exposed areas sweat and freeze into crystals.

“What’s wrong?” Nangong Weiyang’s brows furrowed deeply. She looked at the crystal path in front of Lin Xi with extreme vigilance. Even though she didn’t know why Lin Xi would suddenly stop like this, she was already certain that there was great danger just from the aura rippling around his body.

“I need some time to think.”

Lin Xi felt like he needed some time to completely calm down and think to himself first. He took two steps back and said this, and then he began to adjust his breathing. He raised his head to look at this crystal path and the hundreds of other paths that also led to the palace. In his sight, these crystal paths also seemed more and more like a massive rune in itself.

A hint of a bitter smile appeared on his lips. Then, he gave Nangong Weiyang and the others who were waiting for him a look. “I think I understand why Principal Zhang said that Divine Generals might be the only ones who can pass through this crystal ravine and enter Green Luan Palace.”

There was no way the three people in the frozen world behind him could understand what he was trying to say. That was why Nangong Weiyang directly asked, “Why?”

Lin Xi didn’t immediately reply to her question. A streak of sword light shot out from behind him, passing over the region he had just entered.

There wasn’t anything strange that happened. Only when this flying sword of his moved towards a rune on the crystal path, the sword light about to make contact with one of the runes as if it wanted to destroy it, did the entire world in front of them suddenly shake. A wave of power that would make even Sacred Masters tremble converged into an invisible hammer, smashing fiercely into Lin Xi’s flying sword.

The instant this sudden change took place, Lin Xi already severed his connection with this flying sword.

That was why before this type of power no cultivator in this world stood a chance against, even though he wasn’t wounded, his flying sword turned into a streak of flowing light, blasted flying to who knew where.

“If we join all of the runes here together and see it as a giant formation, then every single crystal path is like a path to the eye of the formation. However, if I am not mistaken, only a single one of these crystal paths can truly allow one to enter inside.” Only now did Lin Xi look at the runes covering the entire crystal valley and palace, slowly saying, “This giant formation even has a unique aura sensory system. If someone didn’t deliberately try to destroy the runes like I did just now, interfering with the vital energy within the runes, then this power will only trigger once someone enters inside.”

Nangong Weiyang’s mind couldn’t help but tremble, her complexion paling slightly. She spoke with a heavy voice while looking at the hundreds of streaks of crystals, “What you are saying is that the paths will only act out if a person walks in. Even if soul weapons and other objects enter, even if their soul force ripples outwards, it still won’t trigger? That is why other testing methods are completely ineffective?”

Lin Xi nodded. Nangong Weiyang and the others didn’t know that he already carried out several more tests, so he was even more certain than before.

He then said, “That is, unless anyone can truly comprehend the mysteries of these runes.”

Qin Xiyue and Nangong Weiyang exchanged a look. These runes were entirely different from the runes of the modern world. Even if the entire Green Luan Academy was gathered here, not even several generations of studies could uncover the mysteries of these few streaks of runes, let alone fully understanding everything about them.

“No, if it was Purgatory Mountain, there is another way for them to enter.” Only Qin Xiyue shook her head. She looked at Lin Xi and said, “If it was Purgatory Mountain, they would make slaves sacrifice their lives to try one by one.”

Lin Xi gave Qin Xiyue a look, and then he turned around to give these floating bridge-like crystal paths a look. Then, he shook his head. “I don’t believe that would work either.”contemporary romance

Qin Xiyue was stunned. “Why?”

Lin Xi reached out his hand and pointed to a high point in the distance. “Look, these paths weave about in countless ways, and they are divided into several layers. I believe every single layer already has hundreds of possibilities, so once you get to a higher level, you have to undergo hundreds of possibilities again… When you take these layers into consideration, the number of possibilities will be absolutely horrifying. Moreover, no one knows if this great formation will change on its own. If the legendary Green Luan Palace could be entered with just the sacrifice of a few hundred lives, then I don’t think Principal Zhang would say that Divine Generals might be the only ones who can enter this palace.”

Following Lin Xi’s gaze, Qin Xiyue saw that whenever several crystal paths climbed up a level, a linking platform would appear, which would then fork into several crystal paths. When she heard what Lin Xi said, her face couldn’t help but pale even more.

“None of that matters.” Nangong Weiyang instead calmed down. She turned around to look at Lin Xi. “Either way, you can find the correct path, right?”

Lin Xi nodded. He looked at the crystal paths in front of him, a bit of a bitterness appearing at the corners of his lips.

If Zhang Ping was still how he was back at the academy, if it wasn’t a race against time, if they didn’t need to become stronger than Zhang Ping, then just these crystal paths alone would already be the best cultivation method for him. Each time he was faced with the true threat of death, it would increase his cultivation slightly.

Lin Xi began to move.

He was blasted flying again and again, facing death again and again.

In Gu Xinyin, Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue’s eyes, Lin Xi only took quite a bit of time to rest. Then, he led them on one of the crystal paths to Green Luan Palace.

They watched as Lin Xi’s complexion became more and more pale as they advanced, watched as more and more sweat covered his body. They didn’t know what was happening to Lin Xi, they only felt more and more worry for Lin Xi’s current condition.

…

It was just as Lin Xi predicted. Every single layer only had a single path of life that could be taken.

Sometimes, his luck was comparatively better, finding the right path after trying just a few times. Sometimes, he had to try several hundred paths. His complexion slowly became whiter than snow. However, his will had already been sharpened further by their previous journey through Frozen God Domain, so he held on.

“Just keep vomiting and you’ll get used to it… keep flying and you’ll get used to it…”

As he coughed and mumbled this to himself, his feet finally landed in the vacant area in front of Green Luan Palace.

This area was only a smooth crystal surface. There were no runes. It reflected the blue sky and white clouds. However, as they followed behind Lin Xi, when the others’ feet finally stepped here, Gu Xinyin, Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue’s hearts were all pounding heavily.

The palace before them was still completely peaceful, but because of how close they now were, it seemed extremely massive. They were just like ants that gazed towards a small mountain.

Lin Xi rested for a long time, and then he finally moved again.

…

The door was broken.

Only when Lin Xi and the others truly arrived in front of this palace, did they see that this massive palace’s gates were broken.

Not only was this unimaginably massive gate broken, even the ground surface and all of the walls inside were covered in deep cracks.

Everyone who stood before the two massive peacock green doors didn’t think that this was the result of Principal Zhang forcefully breaking through.

It was because the ‘metal particles’ that broke off and were scattered around this giant entrance were already the size of their bodies.

Lin Xi touched the metal surface of these peacock green metals. He was certain that apart from Zhang Ping’s armor, there were no other metals in this world that were as tough as this peacock green metal.

This place was indeed just like what some stories portrayed. It experienced the final battle between immortals and devils.

That was why these were indeed historical remains.

“Let’s go in.”

Lin Xi took a deep breath. After saying this to the other three, he didn’t wait any longer, walking on this ground covered in countless deep cracks.

What they should have seen after entering is a main hall inside the giant palace, but only after truly walking in did they see that this entire main hall’s dome already caved in. The sky cast its light straight down, making this main hall seem like a public square.

Normally speaking, if such a massive dome collapsed, then there should be endless rubble, metal and other things that fell down. After all, these were the materials this massive palace was made of. However, this ground surface covered in cracks didn’t have any large ruins, but rather a thick layer of dust made up of all different colors.

The dust piled up thicker by the edges of the walls, blocking up some exits. Apart from those massive runes on the palace walls still flickering with faint radiance, they could also make out many streaks carved out from countless sharp slashes.

A certain scene couldn’t help but appear in Lin Xi and everyone else’s minds.

Countless cultivators were fighting here, and then a devastating power swept through everything inside the palace. All of the cultivators and even their soul weapons were crushed into dust by this power. Only the runes on the walls ensured that this building itself remained.
