It was only a few meters, but to Wang Yan, it felt like an eternity. He had never walked with such difficulty before.
On one hand, it was because Wang Xian 'er was beside him. He had to focus and stay alert to prevent any accidents from happening.
On the other hand, it was because they were in the Demonic Flame Ruins, known as the top of the three forbidden areas of the West Continent. It was extremely dangerous.
Most importantly, what he was about to do next was extremely dangerous. Even he could not control it.
When a Martial Cultivator was faced with something that he could not control, the best choice was to retreat immediately.
However, Wang Yan could not retreat now. He had come this far and the inheritance of Heaven Burying Godly Emperor was within his reach.
If he turned around and left now, all his efforts would be in vain. All the difficulties he had gone through could only be considered as a form of cultivation.
"Xian 'er, remember what I told you just now. If anything happens, leave immediately. Don't worry about me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yan took a big step forward and instantly distanced himself from Wang Xian 'er. He appeared directly in front of the Blood Pool.
At the same time, the power of his Soul that was entrenched in his Niwan Palace exploded and pressed against the Blood Pool.
Boom …!
A muffled sound came from nowhere. With the Blood Pool as the center, the space within a radius of a hundred miles suddenly caved in. It was as if an invisible giant fist had forcefully squeezed through the void and landed on the place.
Wang Yan's eyes were like lightning as he sized up the Blood Pool before him cautiously.
In the next instant, the boiling Blood Pool suddenly stopped and returned to calmness. It was like the surface of a lake that was left without a trace by the wind.
At that moment, a shocking change occurred.
The tranquil pool of blood began to surge violently, like boiling water, gurgling with blood bubbles.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood surged into the air.
It was like a sticky cloud that spread out in an instant.
In an instant, Wang Yan's thin figure disappeared.
"Brother!"
"Little Yan!"
Wang Xian 'er and Xue Wuhen exclaimed in unison. They wanted to go forward to check, but the spreading Blood Pool suddenly sped up and engulfed the two of them in an instant!
In an instant, there was no one left. It was as if the three of them had vanished into thin air.
…
Looking at the blood-red void in front of him, Wang Yan's muscles tightened. Astral power and demonic aura covered his entire body. He was like a furious dragon soaring into the sky, swimming back and forth.
His Divine Soul Power poured out unreservedly, forming an absolute space five feet around him.
As long as one's strength did not reach the Star Plucking State, it was impossible for them to get within three feet of him.
This space was filled with the color of blood, and it was filled with an extremely dense smell of blood.
Just a slight breath was enough to make one's stomach churn and almost vomit.
Wang Yan could only hold his breath and look around vigilantly.
The blood-red space should have been established in some kind of land of nothingness. It was an independent space, but it was definitely within the Starsource Continent.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be able to escape the cage of the heavens and the earth and stand above the Heavenly Dao?
"Welcome to the Blood Evil World, lucky boy. I hope you can overcome all obstacles and obtain my inheritance."
Suddenly, an aged, desolate, yet domineering voice resounded.
Like a bolt of lightning, it caused Wang Yan's mind to waver. His ears almost went deaf!
In the next moment, a whirlwind suddenly appeared in the blood-red space, sweeping up all the bloody aura in the air and gradually forming a blood-red figure.
The process seemed slow, but it actually happened extremely quickly. In just a few seconds, a tall, majestic figure appeared before Wang Yan.
The figure had limbs, but its facial features were blurry. However, it gave off an indescribable presence, ancient and brutal.
It was like a ruler that controlled all life, able to destroy planets and shatter the heavens with a raise of its hand or a kick.
Suddenly, Wang Yan shuddered. Disbelief filled his eyes.
The featureless figure actually revealed a pair of blood-red eyes that shone with a strange light.
The blood-red eyes were extremely similar to the huge eyes Wang Yan saw in the illusion. They were basically the same.
The only difference was that this pair of blood-red eyes was several times smaller than the one he saw in the illusion.
Back then, Wang Yan did not understand what the pair of blood-red eyes was and why they would appear in the pool of blood.
However, as the Eight Ultimate Divine Formation Map changed after entering the Devil Flame Ruins, and combining everything else, Wang Yan came to a conclusion.
The pair of blood-red eyes was most likely left behind by God Emperor Zang Tian!
"I am God Emperor Zang Tian. I have fought against Heaven and God my entire life. Unfortunately, I cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation."
"I fought against Heaven and lost in the end. My body was torn into pieces and scattered in the World of Origin."
"In order for us cultivators to continue fighting against Heaven and God, I have left behind a Divine Formation Map. It is divided into five pieces."
"If cultivators of my generation were to obtain one of them and understand its secrets, they would need to gather all five pieces and combine them into one. Only then would they be able to complete my body and obtain my inheritance to continue fighting."
The ancient and brutal voice kept echoing in Wang Yan's ears. As he was shaken, he was even more shocked.
Heaven Burying Divine Emperor was a peerless overlord who could command the winds and clouds, yet his enemies were not humans, but the heavens and the gods!
Wang Yan did not have a deep understanding of the concept of God. After all, it was just too distant for him.
As for 'Heaven', Wang Yan had a deep understanding of it. At the very least, according to what he knew so far, the absolute ruler of the Starsource Continent was the heavenly ways. Below them was the Skyroad sect.
As for the various races and lives, they were all ants before these two colossal existences. They could not put up any resistance at all.
They were like livestock that had been reared. Once they matured, they would either be destroyed or become puppets of the heavenly ways.
However, God Emperor Zang Tian actually fought against Heaven and God, which was more than enough to demonstrate just how terrifying and terrifying he was.
However, someone as powerful as him still failed to escape the cycle of reincarnation in the end. He was defeated by over a hundred heavens!
"Lucky junior, the fact that you've made it this far means you've obtained a piece of the formation map and have understood its secrets."
"However, that's not enough to obtain my legacy. You need to defeat the blood-red figure condensed from my vital energy."
Wang Yan did not reply. He stared at the blood-red figure calmly.
Since he had made it this far, he had to obtain God Emperor Zang Tian's legacy no matter what. He needed his remains to strengthen himself.
And, as he gained a deeper understanding, his admiration for God Emperor Zang Tian deepened.
He was a deity without a doubt. His enemies were only heaven and God. He lived for the sake of slaying gods and died for the sake of destroying heaven.
Thinking up to there, Wang Yan sucked in a deep breath and bowed politely.
What God Emperor Zang Tian had said earlier was something he had set up long ago. No matter who came here, they would hear something like that.
However, as soon as he thought about how Wang Xian 'er and Xue Wuhen were in the same situation as him, he could not help but worry.
Although it was only a blood-red figure condensed from God Emperor Zang Tian's vital energy, its strength was evident since it could serve as the final obstacle.
If they could not make it through, would they not die here?
