Youn Pass, the number one heroic pass of Jiannan Road, was established fifteen hundred years ago to suppress the Ten Thousand Mountains. On either side, it connects to the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, blocking the sprawling Mist Sea that extends for thousands of miles. Now, with the seal lifted, the Mist Sea has spread beyond the mountain range.
From a distance, the cyan-black walls of Tianxiong Pass resemble the scales of a giant dragon, stretching for hundreds of miles through the clouds until vanishing at the horizon where heaven and earth et. Each stone of the wall stands over ten feet high, bearing marks of blades and axes, weathered by ti, like the cracked scales of a dragon. The gaps in the wall are stained with a blood-red hue, and after a thousand years of wind and rain, they still emit a faint crimson glow.
The gate tower rises from the ground, the city tower over a hundred feet tall like a beast raising its head, with bronze bells at the eaves producing a deep rumbling in the mountain wind, resembling the breath of a trapped beast. Upon climbing the tower and looking far afield, the walls can be seen snaking through the mountains, seamlessly joined massive stones, having endured wars and the erosion of ti, still arching like the back of a beast forged in iron, embracing the vast landscape.
At this mont, inside this once number one heroic pass, death qi pervades, white bones surround, a ghostly green fla floats in the sky above the pass, casting the city in a grim and frightening light, especially with the continuous, wailing screams emanating from within, tearing through the void, making it resemble a Gate of Ghosts leading to Hell.
Indeed, the southern interior is a purgatorial scene!
Blood-red clouds roll in the air, filled with a heavy stench of blood and decay. In several vast open areas, piles of white bones form small mounds.
One after another, undead creatures with rotting flesh and bizarre forms line up in a long queue, treading over the white bones, each step causing the bone hill to crackle softly, like the grinding of teeth by countless vengeful spirits.
Connected to the bone hills are various-sized bronze fire furnaces, whose mouths gulp red flas, burning fiercely inside. These furnaces, so towering around a hundred feet, others only several feet high, form a circle.
And the grotesque and ugly undead creatures, using chains and cages, are herding Demons into the different furnaces.
These Demons are of all kinds, among them are even powerful Ten Evils like Gu Diao, Ba Snake, and Evil Flood Dragon.
As these Demons are thrown into the furnaces, the flas imdiately sear their skin and flesh with a sizzling sound, with their shrill screams being swallowed by the tongues of fire. Black smoke billows up from the top of the furnaces, condensing into twisted Demon faces in the air, emitting boundless resentnt.
And amidst these furnaces lies a gigantic Blood Pool, from which thick dark red swirls. Those Demon shadows, with their flesh burned away leaving only skeletons, are thrown into the Pill Furnace, causing bursts of blood spray, floating on the surface, trying to escape this terrifying place, only to be fiercely grabbed by white bones reaching from the pool’s bottom. Occasionally, half a body leaps from the bloody water, only to be dragged back into the depths, leaving behind a trail of bubbling blood and abruptly ended cries.
The overwhelming aura of resentnt and shrieks echo across this purgatorial scene, chilling one to the bone!
At so point, a stream of golden light blazed into this Gate of Ghosts, swaggering directly towards the city’s direction, as if the Great Sun were patrolling the heavens.
Soon, within the city’s depths, blood-red thunderclaps erupted, tearing through the darkness, followed by a terrifying aura rising from within.
Quickly, a towering figure tore forth from the blood-red thunder, blocking the path of the swaggering Chen Yuan.
Its black hair cascaded like a waterfall, wildly fluttering in the air, every strand seemingly imbued with imnse strength, clad in a black robe covered in the marks of ti, rustling in the wind. Demonic Qi surged around it, like countless ghostly claws. What was most shocking was the massive blood hole in its chest.
In the hollow, a throbbing crimson heart lay exposed to the air, covered in hideous veins, each beat emitted dazzling blood-red light, seemingly igniting the surrounding void, with drum-like heartbeats trembling the very air.
When this King raised its abyssal black eyes to look at Chen Yuan, a hint of surprise flashed in them.
The pitch-black robe on its body gradually faded, turning white.
The terrifying aura also quickly dissipated, and the blood hole on its chest disappeared as well.
"So it is you after all!"
This Undying King’s completely black eyes seed to hold a hint of undetectable astonishnt.
"I have t you before, senior!"
Chen Yuan saluted, his expression serious. He knew it was thanks to this King’s gifting of a Magic Technique that allowed him to quickly achieve Martial Saint and escape from the forbidden land.
He owed a considerable favor!
At this mont, the King opposite had returned to its white-robed form, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, an aura as deep as an abyss, black hair dancing, resembling an Immortal, starkly different from the terrifying nace in its black-robed state.
Only those eyes, without the whites, carried a depth, seemingly able to see through everything, as it seriously looked at Chen Yuan,
"I did not expect!"
"You would break through to Martial Saint so quickly."
"To defy the Heavenly People as soon as you exit the pass, truly deserving of my notice."
The news indeed was widespread.
Aniluo Arhat knew of it, so Chen Yuan was not surprised by this King’s knowledge.
"Thanks are due to you, senior, for teaching the Magic Technique, else I could not have achieved the breakthrough so swiftly."
"As for that Heavenly Person, I did not kill him; he disintegrated and entered reincarnation. Despite having all favorable conditions, I still couldn’t seize total victory."
The White-clothed Monarch upon hearing this, slightly shook its head, "After all, there is a difference in realm. For you to reach this step, honestly, even I am wary of you."
