On Doomsday's Gate …
Some beasts had the body of a beast, but had the head of a fish.
Some had several human heads, but only one body, a pair of arms, and the body of a tiger.
Some were clearly birds, but had the wings of a bat …
On Doomsday's Gate, there were a total of thousands of such strange beasts. Because of the passage of time, most of them could no longer be seen clearly. This Doomsday's Gate definitely had a history of tens of millions of years. After all, it was something left behind from the Primordial Era. Then, these strange beasts should have existed in that era.
However, why were they carved here? It was a little strange.
"This is …"
When Long Chen passed through the Doomsday's Gate, he found a familiar beast carving in a corner of the Doomsday's Gate. The beast carving's appearance made him instinctively feel fear in his bloodline. After thinking about it carefully, his heart trembled and he cried out involuntarily, "Dragon Devouring Beast …"
That's right, there was a relief of a Dragon-Devouring Beast among the thousands of strange beasts.
The original body of the Desolation Emperor of the three Imperial Regions was a Dragon-Devouring Beast. Long Chen had once controlled this Dragon-Devouring Beast, so he was very familiar with it. However, it was a relatively low-level existence in the three Imperial Regions. He didn't expect that there would be a Dragon-Devouring Beast on this Doomsday's Gate. That was strange.
"It really is a Dragon-Devouring Beast. And there are so many strange beasts. They all feel similar to Dragon-Devouring Beasts. Are they all from the same era as the Divine Dragon?" Lingxi blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Maybe."
The Ancient Battlegod City's team began to move further away. Long Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed the Ancient Battlegod City's team forward. Thousands of people walked into Doomsday's Gate, and a wide golden ancient road appeared in front of them. It could accommodate hundreds of people walking side by side. The entire area outside of the golden ancient road was still shrouded in layers of nine-colored fog, making it impossible to see the situation outside.
In front of the golden road, there were 72 forks, representing the 72 Gods. The 72 roads were called the 72 Divine Daos. Every descendant of the Gods could easily distinguish which Divine Dao they belonged to.
And at this time, the teams from the various divine cities had already started to excitedly enter their divine paths. They were about to bathe in the divine rain and increase their cultivation and comprehension. This was extremely beneficial to them, and at the same time, they could get closer to their ancestors. It could be said that almost everyone was unable to conceal their excitement.
Li Xuanji bade farewell to Long Chen from afar and entered the divine path belonging to the Dark God City.
Very soon, Long Chen followed the group from the Ancient City of War God and entered one of the divine paths that led to the War God's Mausoleum. Long Chen was not interested in the War God's Mausoleum. What he was interested in was that the divine path beneath his feet was still densely packed with relief sculptures. The relief sculptures were also those of strange beasts. They did not have regular shapes, and were even stranger than the Nian beasts. However, Long Chen discovered a similarity, and that was that their mouths were all unique and especially frightening.
Just like the Dragon-Devouring Beast's mouth, it was incomparably huge and could swallow the Divine Dragon.
"Battlefield of the Gods, Battlegod Tomb. There are such strange beast relief sculptures everywhere. Clearly, it has a history of tens of millions of years. Why is that?"
Long Chen was puzzled.
"Chen, look, there's a wolf. It looks like Xiao Lang …"
Suddenly, he heard Lingxi's surprised voice.
Following her instructions, Long Chen found a wolf-shaped relief sculpture on the divine path under his feet. It could be said that among the thousands of strange beasts, this majestic wolf was the only one that looked normal. Long Chen observed carefully and found that this beast was indeed similar to the Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf. It had a disdainful demeanor that could swallow the heavens and earth.
He pondered for a moment and said, "This wolf clearly belongs to the same race as these strange beasts, or the Dragon-Devouring Beast as well. However, it might not be a Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf. If you look carefully, there are still some differences."
Although it was just a relief sculpture, Long Chen could find that this wolf was too ferocious, and there were many details that were not similar to Mo Xiaolang. Although Mo Xiaolang was a Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf, there were too many wolf-type demonic beasts like him. His appearance could be said to have no special characteristics.
No matter if it was the Dragon-Devouring Beast or this complete wolf, they both gave Long Chen a lot of doubts.
Just as he was pondering, the divine path came to an end. The Su family disciples in front of him were already jumping in joy. Looking up, there really was a magnificent mausoleum in front of them. It was enveloped in golden light, revealing the heaviness and mysteriousness that belonged to ancient gods.
The divine path expanded, forming a rather vast bluestone plaza. At the end of the plaza was a mausoleum. The mausoleum was completely golden, and it was covered in dense runes. The runes were swimming about, gathering towards the center. In the center of the mausoleum, there was a dome. At the center of the dome, there was a golden mist rising into the sky, which then turned into golden rain that fell. The majestic falling rain had already enveloped half of the bluestone plaza.
Every single drop of golden rain was like a fine nectar, emitting a refreshing fragrance. When they fell onto the ground, they would disappear. However, no one would feel heartache because this Divine Spiritual Rain would last for a full year, until they finished worshipping their ancestors. Every single Divine Spiritual Rain in the Divine Mausoleum was suitable for their descendants. Therefore, this trip to the Battlefield of the Gods was a gift from their ancestors.
Basically, if they returned alive from the Battlefield of the Gods, their fighting strength would greatly increase, along with their status.
"Divine Spiritual Rain."
Seeing the boundless golden rain, all the disciples of the Su Clan went crazy. They didn't care about their lives as they fought to be the first to charge towards the area covered by the golden rain. Even Su Mu Chen wasn't an exception. He just wasn't anxious, but in his heart, he was extremely thirsty for the Divine Spiritual Rain. That's because it was a guarantee for him to step into the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm. He had waited for so many years for this moment. The moment he stepped into the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, he would be qualified to enter the Five Great Dragon Cities.
Of course, if he stepped into the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, then the battle between him and Long Chen would basically be hopeless.
Up until now, he had never displayed his true strength, not to mention that once he reached the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, no one under the Yin and Yang Reincarnation Tribulation Realm would be his opponent. After a true Dragon Martial Artist became powerful, they would be quite terrifying, far surpassing the descendants of gods.
In the blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Su Clan were fighting to be the first to bathe in the golden Divine Spiritual Rain. They faced the Martial God's Mausoleum in front of them and knelt on the ground with incomparable sincerity. Then, they prostrated themselves and allowed the golden Divine Spiritual Rain to fall on their bodies. Long Chen discovered that they didn't need to absorb it. The golden Divine Spiritual Rain would squeeze into their bodies and form mysterious runes on the surface of their bodies.
Only Long Chen and Lingxi were still standing in the same place.
At this moment, everyone was kneeling with sincerity. Naturally, no one paid attention to them.
After the Divine Spiritual Rain entered their bodies, they felt extremely comfortable. Many of them even moaned in comfort. Their bodies trembled as if they had fallen into an atmosphere of revelry. They were extremely excited.
"Ancestor, please bless me. Bestow me with endless power!"
"Ancestor, please bless me. Bestow me with the Primordial Dao Artifact."
"Ancestor, please bless me. Bestow me with the Hundred Reincarnations. Let me experience the various forms of life and enter the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm."
All the disciples made their wishes in front of the Divine Spiritual Ancestor. In the face of faith, there were too few people who could still maintain their rationality.
A large amount of golden Divine Spiritual Rain squeezed into their bodies.
Every drop of Divine Spiritual Rain was like a living worm, twisting, rolling, tearing apart their flesh and burying themselves in it, waiting for them to take root and sprout.
"Uh …" Among them, Su Mu Chen trembled the most. A black aura surrounded him and prevented the Divine Spiritual Rain from entering. However, Su Mu Chen gritted his teeth and withdrew the black aura. He made a wish and said, "Ancestor, please cleanse the body of this junior with the Divine Spiritual Rain. Bestow me with the comprehension of Martial Dao and let me step into the Reincarnation Realm."
Long Chen held Lingxi's hand and watched everything quietly.
Once every thousand years, the most powerful group of people in each ancient city would bathe in the Divine Spiritual Rain. The Divine Spiritual Rain was full of energy and was indeed a good nourishment. It was like grinding the Immortal Essence. Why did Li Xuanji remind him not to bathe in the Divine Spiritual Rain?
"Chen, if we don't go in, are we going to stay like this for a year?" Lingxi said with a frown. She didn't like the crazy looks of the Su Family's disciples.
"They'll do their own things, while we'll do ours. I still have an appointment with Su Muchen, and if he steps into the Reincarnation Tribulation Stage, I'll be finished. From today onwards, we'll cultivate here for a year. We can spend some time to sort out and ponder what we've learned. The inheritance of your Ethereal Immortal Sect and the usage of the Eight Great Heavenly Swords have yet to be fully displayed."
Lingxi nodded and said, "I've already controlled the Boiling Divine Blood. Now, it's not a problem for me to defeat someone at Su Yuyao's level."
Long Chen smiled evilly and said, "It's still early. We've improved so much recently. I have to nourish you well so that we can balance Yin and Yang and go through the Mount Wu Rain together. Haha …"
Lingxi blushed and said, "I'll work hard on my own. I don't need your help."
After Goddess Su's blood increased to 80%, it seemed that she hadn't been intimate for a long time. However, it wasn't easy to do it in front of so many people. Long Chen was just teasing her.
Of course, if there was a chance, she would definitely use Goddess Su's blood to the fullest. After all, it was also very beneficial to Long Chen. It would be even more helpful to Lingxi. She had an abundance of Divine Blood and it was easy for her to pass the tribulation. Although Long Chen was in the lead now, it wasn't impossible for her to surpass him in the future.
The days finally calmed down.
Long Chen was facing the most important problem, the Gate of Life and Death.
