Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 116
Once again, this situation left all the Qinglian Sect disciples astounded as they gazed at Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou maintained a composed expression on the surface,
but internally, he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
Damn it! Don’t look at me like that; you’re putting so much pressure on me.
Liu Shunyi, hidden within the crowd, smiled slyly.
“Elder Zhao Gou is truly mighty!”
As Liu Shunyi’s words echoed, the Qinglian Sect disciples joined in, chanting:
“Elder Zhao Gou is mighty.”
“Mighty!”
“Mighty!”
“Mighty…”
Zhao Gou glanced towards Liu Shunyi, silently cursing under his breath!
However, Liu Shunyi feigned ignorance.
“Boom~”
With their path unobstructed, the Qinglian Sect surprisingly entered the secret realm faster than any previous sects.
But upon entering…
They discovered there was a flying restriction in place.
With a sudden splash-like sound, the Qinglian Sect disciples descended from the sky like raindrops.
More terrifyingly,
they landed amidst a dense field of sharp stones.
“Puff… puff… puff…”
The majority of the disciples were impaled by the stone spikes.
Just upon entering the secret realm, nearly half of the Qinglian Sect’s disciples were gravely injured or lost.
However, before it could worsen, Elder Qing Lian intervened once more. A green aura enveloped everyone present, instantly healing the severely wounded disciples within its embrace. With this, Zhao managed to pull back most of those who had been on the brink of disaster.
Despite their miraculous recovery, the disciples’ faces remained pale, shaken by the unexpected danger they encountered right at the entrance of the secret realm.
Liu Shunyi frowned deeply, as he had been keenly observing throughout the ordeal. Before the flying restriction activated, he hadn’t noticed any stone forest around them. Yet, as they plummeted, the stone forest gradually came into view, almost like a black spot slowly expanding until they found themselves amidst an entirely different landscape.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Liu Shunyi immediately sent a sound transmission to Zhao Gou:
“Something’s not right, we need to move quickly!”
Upon hearing Liu Shunyi’s warning, Zhao Gou wasted no time questioning and promptly addressed the group:
Zhao Gou didn’t hesitate to respond.
“Everyone, follow closely and quickly exit this stone forest.”
Upon hearing Zhao Gou’s command,
the group initially froze but then swiftly complied, rushing towards the edge of the stone forest.
As they ran, they realized with shock that the stone forest was collapsing inward, seemingly crushing towards them.
“No, wait, this is inside some monstrous creature’s mouth,” Zhao Gou reacted promptly.
This realization spurred them to run even faster.
“Boom~”
Just as the group escaped the outskirts of the stone forest, it completely merged and slowly sank back into the ground.
Now, they could clearly see its shape:
It resembled a duck’s bill.
“This secret realm is terrifying!”
Even Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were visibly unnerved, not just the disciples.
Especially Liu Shunyi, who noticed that the Grand Dao Golden Book showed no reaction whatsoever. This indicated that such instinctive actions, devoid of conscious thought, would not be ranked on the list!
“Fucking hell, how horrifying,” he muttered.
However, after narrowly escaping the colossal beast’s maw, their faces turned pale once more.
The sound of the closing jaws had disturbed other creatures nearby.
“Aaarrghhh~” A long piercing cry echoed through the air.
A colossal ice bird, obscuring the sky, flew overhead.
“Roar~”
Another prolonged cry echoed.
A massive beast slowly rose to its feet, with a tiger’s head and a serpent’s tail, possessing an enormous body.
As the creature stood up, even towering mountains seemed like mere oversized stones before it.
The giant beast sniffed repeatedly in the air, as if searching for something.
Terrified, the Qinglian Sect disciples turned pale-faced, not daring to make a sound.
The ice bird returned, circling above them once more.
Both the tiger-headed serpent-tailed beast and the ice bird relentlessly sought their prey.
“Boom~”
At that moment, another large group descended from the sky.
The eyes of the ice bird and the giant beast lit up instantly.
They began opening their mouths wide towards the heavens.
Even the immense duck-like mouth emerged again from beneath the ground, gaping open and forming a stone forest.
“Puff puff puff puff…”
Huddled in a dark corner, the Qinglian Sect members watched helplessly as these three monstrous creatures feasted on unsuspecting victims.
In no time at all, several more sects were completely annihilated.
What no one realized was that this time, the opening of the secret realm was under the control of the Heaven Wrath Temple.
In other words, the Heaven Wrath Temple could decide when to fully open or close the secret realm at will. Its timing depended entirely on their mood.
However, what the Heaven Wrath Temple did not anticipate was that Zhao Gou would awaken the consciousness of the Heavenly Way.
Immediately upon awakening, the Heavenly Way targeted all members of the Heaven Wrath Temple, swiftly annihilating them.
Even those embedded within the small world, including elders and operatives of the Heaven Wrath Temple, were utterly destroyed by the thunder giant.
Not only were they exterminated, but the thunder giant also opened the secret realm itself.
“Yes, indeed, beneath the Heavenly Dao, we are mere ants!” The Deputy Temple Lord’s face paled with fear.
The might of the thunder giant left him trembling internally.
But now, the most severe issue arose:
“This is wrong; everything is falling apart. It doesn’t align with history anymore.”
Firstly, the information about Zhao Gou conflicted with expectations.
According to the data provided by the Heaven Wrath Temple’s leader, Zhao Gou should have been focused solely on practicing medicine. By steadily gaining reputation through his healing arts, he would eventually be known as True Person Zhao, the Healing Savior.
Yet the current Zhao Gou was a relentless killer, holding an astonishingly high position within the Qinglian Sect. His recent Transcending Tribulation event alone had decimated numerous brethren from the Heaven Wrath Temple.
Moreover, there was Lin Wudao.
Based on the timeline, Lin Wudao should have been shining brilliantly by now, his reputation resounding throughout Qin Province.
After all, he was meant to retrace his cultivation path and ultimately return as an invincible figure, rising within the Tianji Holy Land.
Yet currently, there was no trace of Lin Wudao, let alone any mention of his fame.
It was likely that if someone were asked about him, they wouldn’t even know who Lin Wudao is.
“Hum~”
At that moment, a pair of eyes appeared before the Deputy Temple Lord of the Heaven Wrath Temple. Recognizing them, he hastily bowed in reverence.
“My lord!”
The eyes gazed at the Deputy Temple Lord, followed by a resonant voice.
“I am aware of everything. Our actions aim to disrupt history, and slight deviations are expected. There’s no need for concern; it remains under control. However, we must not miss this opportunity with the secret realm expedition. Send all Five Rages along with the entire Heaven Wrath contingent, and adhere strictly to the plan!”
The Deputy Temple Lord nodded in agreement.
To ensure the success of this mission, both he and the mysterious eyes personally supervised the entry of the Five Rages and the Heaven Wrath Temple members into the secret realm.
The process went smoothly until after the last member of the Heaven Wrath Temple entered the secret realm.
Suddenly, dense plumes of black smoke rushed swiftly into the realm.
The Deputy Temple Lord’s eyes widened in surprise.
“My lord, what just entered?”
The eyes remained silent for a moment before responding, “I’m unsure, but do not worry, it is still within our control!”
